The Princess Doll
made this company.

What you think
I don't know that?

I was there when
it happened, remember?

Then why are going to
throw it all away?

I'm not throwing it
all away,

I'm just opening it to
a wider market.

You're going to make it,
like every other one

of our products,
as cheaply as you can!

A year from now,
have figured outrs

that it's turned into
a piece of crap,

you'll dump it,
some other piece of crap.

The numbers show that
consumer demand

for premium toys
is declining.

Your father designed
that doll from scratch

he put his heart
and soul into it.

It's what made him
a millionaire.

Doesn't that mean
anything to you?

If my father had
and starvationetween him

he would give
the crusts to the birds.

You know maybe things
were different back then

but nobody can afford to
be that generous anymore.

Pardon the cliche,
but times are tough,

and it takes tough people
to get through them.

Your father
built this company--

He FOUNDED
I built it.y.

We went from
300 because of my ideas.

Don't forget that.

You're making
a big mistake.

Yeah.

moss on the ceiling

so you can kiss someone

You fight crowds,
you stand in long lines to

for someone that you love.

So why would you
all that?elf through

Drake!
and it feels pretty damn good.

(laughing)
Okay.

As one of your father's

Now, you have
a nice day.

As you can see, from the
even 9 year oldsurve,

who are 2.8 years past

the mythological status

manifestations of belief.

This means, this means

I'll take questions
later.

I've got a lot to
get through this afternoon.

I said later!
Now sit down!

But how can you say
Santa Clause is a myth?

This is the way it works.

You come up here,

Look at that, see?

It's not so bad.

What would you like

So if you feel like it

you can come here,
and you tell Santa

what you want
How about that?

All right.

Oh wait!

Don't forget

That is one seriously
weird little monkey.

I don't think
she's weird.

She seems sad.

Yeah, well,
do about it.an

(Drake)
she's in the store,

or hanging around outside
closing. from opening to

She's probably
a latch key kid.

Stores are
the only safe place for her.

That doesn't
seem right.

Well it's not but that's
the way things are.

But she's there
for hours.

Well school's
on Christmas break.

Just bugs me that
Santa's villageg to

but she doesn't want to
talk to Santa.

She's troubled.
you can't do more for her.

It bugs you because
you're a kind man.

No, I'm not.

That's not what
other people think.

What are you
talking about?

I followed up on
no problems.ere wereo

You talked to Norm.

He said you're
they've ever had.

Okay, the first few days
you've really open up.

I got into a routine.

Let me ask you

I'm important to you,
right?

Don't--

(Norm)
pay day!ta,

(Drake)
Yeah, thanks!

(Norm)
You're welcome!

Dad...

What's up, sport?

How can Santa get
down the chimney?

It's too small.

Oh, well--

You know, uh,
a problem for him.be

But you know, Drake,

sometimes Santa runs
a little late

in bringing
the presents.

He's not gonna
on Christmas?cle

Well, he's got
a lot to do.

On that one night.

Sometimes, it takes him
a little while to

deliver all the toys.

So if your bike isn't there,
Christmas morning,

that's why.

Do you understand?

He's gonna
come through for ya.

One way
or the other.

I promise.

I was worried about her
walking home alone.

So, I followed her.

Turns out she lives
I grew up in.ouse

Really?
Small world.

Second I saw that place,
I was reminded

of the last Christmas
we spent there.

My mom had passed
the previous year,

my dad had yet come
up with the prints--

The thing that finally
got his business going.

Looking back now
...flat broke.ere absolutely

But that last Christmas,

I wanted a new bike
so badly.

I bugged my dad
about it every day.

I remember that
Christmas morning,

running into
and there is was.

(young Drake
squealing)

It was amazing.

I was over the moon.

Took me a couple weeks,
you know, to notice, uh--

The sterling silver frame,

that held the picture

of my mom and dad's
wedding--

It was missing.

You know what?

I asked him about it,
you know--

He said that
for safe keeping.away

But I, oh man,
I knew.

I knew that he had
sold it to buy my bike.

You know what,
hey--

I owe you
some money!

Here you go,
thank you.

My pleasure.

So if you want to uh,
give me that address,

I can enter it
into the database.

If they ever
it should show up.e,

That'd be great.

Before I do that though,
I wanna know,

why are you
in this girl?

I honestly don't know.

She wants something
from me,

it's not like,

money
or even presents.

I don't know what it is,
she knows what it is.

But I can see it,
in her eyes.

You know,
she needs me.

I was right.

You are a kind man.

(phone ringing)

(Drake)
Hello, Marge.

call the police!ng to

better than Drake Hunter.

What does that mean?

I have been
thirty years.ny for

For the first 25
Drake's father.

He ran this company
with integrity

and with pride,
and it showed.

Ever since he died,
is the bottom line.

That's business,
it's--

No, my friend.
And sooner or later

it will come back
and bite you in the bum.

I do not want to
that happens.

When this company
the man who's going to

have his hand on
is Drake Hunter!

And if you're
you can tell him I said so.

You can also tell him
with mes he's playingd

because I don't care
about him.

Nobody here cares
about Drake Hunter!

(random employee)
That's a fact!

I don't think
the whole worldin

who cares about
Drake Hunter!

And there's the door,

Yeah,
I'd love that.

Isn't she gonna think

I made the appointment

Well, this is it.

Thank you.

(Alicia)
You're welcome.

I'm sorry.
I know how this looks,

I just, couldn't get
over the holidays.

My mom was helping out,
but she slipped a disc,

so I enrolled Gemma
at the church.rogram

But that's only
3 days a week.

She was supposed to
come straight home.

But I guess she couldn't
resist Santa.

I'm sorry I hope
any trouble.aused

Oh no.
No trouble.

We just...
make sure--ted to

We wanted to make sure
she has a happy Christmas.

Is there something
special she'd like?

You qualify for a toy

No! Please.
of Gemma myself.

There was a time
but not anymore.

I make a home
I buy her Christmas presents.

Are you working
full time?

Nearly.
Pays our food and rent.

But sometimes,
there are penalties.

Penalties?

If we don't
we're fined.tas

Well, that's
not fair.

Miss Baxter.
when Gemma was born.

Some things
aren't fair.

Um... Do you mind
my asking--

What kind of work
do you do?

It's an assembly line.

Huh.
of the company?

Wow--
I'm sorry.

Oh... no,

Her eyes light up

Surely Hunter Toys

No.

I mean, I think more
and more companies

are trying to get away
sort of thing.t

I was saving for one.

That jar
was almost full.

But Gemma needed
and that's more important.

I just never thought to
what she needs,r

I'd have to deny her
what she wants.

Oh, Dragon,

I think it will be
the right choice.

OK, buddy,
here you go.

We'll see you later.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Need your help.

go feed his reindeer

and Little Elf is going to
show you some new toys.

Yeah, the guy who made
his company is, how bad

yes, apparently
have seen that.

Actually I saw it
It's gone viral.

Really?

Wow, my marketing
trying to go viral for years.

And all it took was
a little humility.

What can I do for you,
Mr. Hunter?

Oh, please,
um, Drake.

We have
a mutual friend.

Kriss Krandall.

Kriss!
Well where did he go?

I came in
and he was gone!ristmas

He told me that
move on with his life.o

I didn't get a chance to
say goodbye.

Yeah. He's really sorry
couldn't be helped.just

Oh and he, uh,
wanted you to have this.

He knows it's
a little late,

but these are
the carolers to

help make your
Christmas perfect.

I can't believe
he remembered that.

Sweet!

You're a friend
of Kriss's--

Yeah.

I'm sorry I don't mean to
be rude, it just seems,

like you two would travel
in very different circles.

It's a long, long story

but yes,
I'm...very close to him.

And he told me
all about you.

He said that
person he'd ever met.

Well he was just
being nice.

I don't think so.

I think he's right.

And um, well
mentioned me to you. had

You're the friend
he was talking about!

I thought he was talking
about somebody normal.

No, I'm sorry,
like you're not normal--

It's OK.
I think it's debatable.

When you laugh,
that laugh before.eard

A little bit like
deja vu, huh?

It's weird, isn't it?

Look, do you have plans
for dinner?

Ah. Yeah--

You know, why don't you
just put that in the fridge,

and let me take you out
nothing fancy,

we'll just go to
Mel's at the corner.

You know Mel's?

Chris told me about it.
Best burgers in the world.

Well, as long as you're
a friend of Kriss's--

I'm actually a very good
friend of Kriss's...
