Arthur: [Struggling to remove the reindeer on top of the roof] It just won't...

Bryony: It may just be a wrapping operative, sir, but this contravenes specific mission regulations!

Grandsanta: I'm in charge here, not Billy the Bureaucratic!

Arthur: [Almost removing the reindeer] It's Stuck!

Grandsanta: [to Bryony] Elf! Wrap your head!

Arthur: So why are we taking it?

Grandsanta: It's for Gwen! Eight beautiful reindeer! That is what she is dreaming of, The Jingly bells, the sleigh on the roof...

Grandsanta: [to Bryony] What now?

Bryony: [She whimpers through the wrapping and opens it] We have a waker, Sir!

Arthur: Why are we taking this reindeer? It isn't a real one! It's a fake!

Grandsanta: It is for Gwen! Eight beautiful reindeer! Isn't that what she is dreaming of? The jingly bells, The Sleigh on the roof! Not some kind of spaceship! We are supposed to be giving her the star treatment!

[to Bryony]

Arthur: [looks over the ledge of the sleigh and sees nothing but water all around] Big isn't it? The Atlantic! Do you think we should stop and ask someone?

Grandsanta: Fishy nibbles, come on, we are nearly there!

[points to a slow moving streak of light]

Grandsanta: Older technology against my 'Evie'

Arthur: I know what! Let's do it with worry!

Grandsanta: Santa mustn't be seen, hey lads! Let's give them military soldiers something to shoot at!

[Grandsanta reaches out and presses a bright red button and the sleigh transforms into a flying saucer look-alike]

Grandsanta: [the people at the military base gasp in awe, the sleigh has transformed into a flying saucer and has an alien symbol on it] Take us to your leader!

Grandsanta: It's Christmas!

Arthur: Christmas is for kids. You grow out of it.

Bryony: What, in the last six minutes?

Bryony: Fancy a drink?

Ben: I should be in bed...

[Bryony chuckles]

Bryony: How old are you?

Ben: I'm eighteen and a half.

Bryony: It's okay. I'm not gonna eat you. I don't have to be anywhere until after lunch. How about you? Do you fancy staying in a bit?

[Ben starts dressing]

Bryony: I take it that's a no then.

Ben: It's eleven thirty.

Bryony: So?

Ben: I promised Evie I'd be there by eleven.

Ben: [about Evie] I have to be there before she goes on or she can't remember her lines!

Bryony: Ben, she's reading from a book!

Ben: Makes a difference! She's completely helpless unless I'm in the same room.

Bryony: Isn't that a bit weird?

Ben: She's not weird!... she's just... nervous...

Bryony: Relax! She's having you on!

Ben: No, she isn't! I promised her I'd be there! Once you've made a promise you should keep it!...

[silence]

Ben: ... Sorry...
