I've seen this before. Sleigh fever, they call it.
Pressure of Christmas sends a man doolally-tap.
Santa Claus XVI got it, 1802.
Every child that year got a sausage nailed to a piece of bark.
Arthur, did you really think you can row the Atlantic Ocean in the next
- 37 minutes? - It's not... too late yet.
I just have to keep,
We need a blunt instrument. Knock him out and regroup.
Make a legal U-turn, then slight right in 4228 miles.
You do know we're going round in circles?
You know, we're not the only ones. Maybe I will see Evie again.
What do you mean?
Reindeer are brave, powerful beasts
but they're also dappled cretins with twigs on their heads.
They'll just keep going in a straight line right round the world.
They'll be way up in the sky flying at unimaginable speed,
but they'll pass right over our heads.
Great! We can get the sleigh back!
- Where is this UFO? - It's circling the Earth, ma'am.
Nineteen minutes ago, it went into orbit.
You? Up there? Catch that with this?
Magic dust.
You crack it over your head.
You'll have to focus.
The sleigh'll be coming at you at 45,000 miles an hour.
You'll be torn in half!
Depends on the angle the sleigh hits. You might just get beheaded.
I've got a phobia of being beheaded, and heights and speed and reindeer
and buttons.
Yeah, I'm pretty much scared of everything.
Gwen thinks you're coming.
You can't do this. Yes, you can!
No, you can't. Yes, you can! Come on, Arthur!
Don't worry, son. Only a raving lunatic--
I have to worry! It's the only thing I'm good at!
Worry me.
The sleigh'll be back any minute.
Come on. Worry me, quickly!
Imagine Gwen, all alone,
- nothing under the tree. - Here we go.
No! Don't like this! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Tears as she finds she's been left out.
Screaming, "Santa didn't come!"
Oh, Gwen.
No! It's just too high!
Gwen in the street surrounded by kids on new bikes, pointing:
"That's the girl that Santa hates!"
She runs away, alcoholic by the age of 9. Dead before she's even...
She may never build a snowman again!
What if there are buttons on the sleigh I don't know about?!
Here it is!
How do you think he's...?
Fine, fine. Probably just...
