The worst part is she's dragging Susan into this with her. Ah, yes. Well, Susan is struggling with it. But I get the feeling that she does want to believe in me, you know. She's a good girl. She's loyal to her mother's wishes. I can't fault that. Of course, if I can't convince the mother, I have no hope of convincing the child. The tooth fairy told me that. Well, your cab's here, Kriss.

What is a guy your age playing this game for, huh? I mean, are you just a lonely, pathetic mental case? Or does it go a little bit deeper than that? Is there a darker side to this? Tell me something, you sorry old cripple, you. You got a thing for the little ones, huh? Huh? Huh? 'Cause they ain't much good for nothin' else, are they? Huh? Stop that man! Quickly! Get the cane away from him. Come on. I...I--I didn'tintend to injure him. He baited me. He provoked me. Save it for the cops, sir. He's badly hurt. Wait a second. You're-- you're cole's Santa Claus.
