- The Magician: Now I've got you! And the minute you're all melted, that hat will be mine!
- [cackles]
- Professor Hinkle: [performing his mock magic trick] And so, I put the magic eggs into my hat. Abracadabra, to coin a phrase.
- [chuckles]
- Professor Hinkle: And voila, the eggs have turned into...
- [the eggs drop to the floor and crack]
- Professor Hinkle: Mess--y, mess--y, mess--y!
- [covers the mess]
- Professor Hinkle: [groaning, then kicking a nearby can in disappointment] Ohh, that's not fair. I mean, we evil magicians have to make a living, too.
- Santa Claus: Now you go home and write "I am very sorry for what I did to Frosty" a hundred zillion times. And then maybe - just maybe, mind you - you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow morning.
- Professor Hinkle: Like - a new hat, maybe? Ohh, yes, sir! Goodbye, everyone! Sorry to lose and run, but I've got to get busy writing, bus-y, bus-y, bus-y!
- Santa Claus: Too late? Why, nonsense. Ohh, don't cry, Karen. Frosty's not gone for good. You see, he was made out of Christmas snow, and Christmas snow can never disappear completely. Oh, yet sometimes it goes away for almost a year at a time, and takes the form of spring and summer rain. But you can bet your boots that when a good, jolly December wind kisses it, it will turn into Christmas snow all over again.
- Karen (later airings): Yes, but... He was my friend.
- Santa Claus: Just watch.
- [goes to the greenhouse door and opens it to let snow and wind in in the shape of a funnel to bring Frosty to life again]
- Karen (later airings): We'd like a ticket to the North Pole, please.
- Ticket Master: [awakens from his nap] Oh! Wha - The North Pole? Ohh, yes, ma'am!
- [He rapidly stacks thousands of tickets, lays them out, and stamps them all, but they fly everywhere, and he gest tangled up in them]
- Ticket Master: Route you by the way of Saskatchewan, Hudson Bay, Nome, Alaska; the Klondike, and Aurora Borealis! Gotta make a change at Nanook of the North, though.
- [chuckles]
- Ticket Master: That'll be $3,000.04, including tax.
- Karen (later airings): Ohh, but... we don't have any money.
- Ticket Master: NO MONEY?
- [Tickets fly everywhere again]
- Ticket Master: No money, no TICKET!
- [He slams the window shut]
- Narrator: I suppose it all started with the snow. You see, it was a very special kind of snow. A snow that made the happy happier, and the giddy even giddier. A snow that'd make a homecoming homier, and natural enemies friends, naturally. For it was the first snow of the season. And as any child can tell you, there's a certain magic that comes with the very first snow, especially when it falls on the day before Christmas. For when the first snow is also a Christmas snow...
- [laughs]
- Narrator: Well, something wonderful is bound to happen.
- Professor Hinkle: [after seeing that Santa Claus has brought Frosty back to life] Wait a minute! I want that hat, and I want it now!
- Santa Claus: DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT.
- Professor Hinkle: And just what are *you* going to do about it?
- Santa Claus: If you so much as lay a finger on the brim, I will never bring you another Christmas present as long as you live.
- Professor Hinkle: [traumatized] Never?
- Santa Claus: Never.
- Professor Hinkle: No more... trick cards or... magic balls or...?
- Santa Claus: No more anything.
- Frosty: Uh-oh!
- Karen (later airings): What's the matter, Frosty?
- Frosty: Whew! Is there a thermometer around here?
- Karen (later airings): Over there in the wall. Why?
- Frosty: [looks at the thermometer] Oh. I was afraid of that. The thermometer's getting red. I hate red thermometers.
- Karen (later airings): Why, Frosty?
- Frosty: 'Cause when the thermometer gets all reddish, the temperature goes up. And when the temperature goes up, I start to melt! And when I start to melt, I get all wishy-washy.
- Traffic Cop: Aaall right, didn't you see that traffic light?
- Frosty: What's a traffic light?
- Traffic Cop: Up there on that lamppost.
- Frosty: What's a lamppost?
- Traffic Cop: Ohh, so you want a ticket, wise guy?
- Frosty: I'd love one. To the North Pole, please.
- Traffic Cop: Huh?
- Frosty: [after he and Karen enter the greenhouse] Phew! Stay in here much longer and I'll really make a splash in the world.
- Narrator: [voiceover] Hocus explained the situation to Santa, who as you know, speaks a fluent rabbit. And, when they didn't find Frosty and Karen on the hill, Santa followed Frosty's path in the snow to the greenhouse. But when they got inside, a terrible sight met their eyes.
- Boy #1: Should we call him Harold?
- Boy #2: Uh, Bruce?
- Children: Naah.
- Girl #1: Christopher Columbus?
- Children: Oh, no.
- Boy #3: Oatmeal?
- Children: Oatmeal?
- Boy #1: [rolling a giant snowball to Karen] We're building a snowman, Karen. You make the head.
- Karen: [mounting another snowball on top of the first one] The head is the most difficult part. Ask anyone.
- Professor Hinkle: If that hat is magic, I want it back!
- Karen (later airings): But it's not yours anymore; you threw it away!
- Professor Hinkle: Don't talk back to your elders, you... you naughty, naughty, little girl.
- [to Hocus, as he loads him back into the hat]
- Professor Hinkle: And you, stay in there, or there'll be no carrots for Christmas!
- Narrator: Now actually, a refrigerated boxcar was a splendid way to travel. Splendid, that is, if one is a snowman or a furry coated rabbit. But for Karen...
- [Karen sneezes]
- Frosty: Are you cold, Karen? Now that's a silly question. You wouldn't be sneezing if you weren't cold.
- Karen (later airings): [shivering] Well... just - a lit - a little.
- [sneezes]
- Karen (later airings): You've got to excuse him, sir. You see, he just came to life, and he doesn't know much about such things.
- Traffic Cop: Oh, well, okay, if he just came to life.
- [blows whistle]
- Traffic Cop: Move along!
- [to himself after Frosty and the kids leave]
- Traffic Cop: That silly snowman. Once they come to life, they don't know nothin'.
- [blows his whistle squeakily]
- Traffic Cop: Come to life?
- [accidentally swallows his whistle]
- Narrator: [voiceover] Frosty realized that Karen had to get out of that car as soon as possible. So when the little freight train stopped to let an express full of happy Christmas travelers pass, Frosty took advantage of the opportunity and quickly got them all out.
- Frosty: It's got to be all warm and snug inside for those Christmas flowers to grow so beautiful. Let's go in.
- Karen (later airings): Oh, but... but you'll melt.
- Frosty: Just a little. I'll only stay inside for a minute. Besides, I've been meaning to take off a little weight, anyway.
- Narrator: [voiceover] You see, Frosty, since he was made out of snow or so, was the fastest belly-whopper... in the world.
- Frosty: I mean - I can make words. I can move... I can juggle... I can sweep... and I can count to ten. One, two, three, four, five, nine, six, eight... Well, I can count to five.
- [chuckles]
- Frosty: What do you know? I'm even ticklish. In fact, I'm all livin'! I *am* alive! What a neat thing to happen to a nice guy like me.
- Frosty: Are you coming to the North Pole, too?
- Karen (later airings): I'm sure my mother won't mind, as long as I'm home in time for supper.
- Professor Hinkle: You silly children believe everything you see. When you're grown up, you'll realize that snowmen can't come to life.
- Karen (later airings): But we...
- Professor Hinkle: Silly, silly, silly!
- Narrator: [voiceover] Then suddenly they came upon a tiny glen which seemed almost magical. For it was Christmas Eve and the woodland animals were all decorating for their big celebration. They knew Santa was to come that night, and they wanted everything to be just right.
- Karen (later airings): [seeing Hocus-Pocus with Frosty's hat] Look, the hat's back. Let's see if it'll make Frosty alive again.
- Professor Hinkle: Now, give me that hat, or else.
- Frosty: Or else - what?
- Professor Hinkle: Ohhh, well, don't bother me with details; give me that hat!
- Professor Hinkle: Aw, a campfire! Well, isn't that all snug and comfy?
- [laughs, then blows the fire out]
- Narrator: [voiceover] The animals were *delighted* to help. So they found a spot away from the glen where the fire wouldn't catch onto the trees. Soon, there was a spark. And in almost no time, a splendid fire was crackling away.
- Narrator: [over end credits; voiceover at first, then we see him in person] And with Frosty the Snowman, Christmas was *always* *very* merry, indeed. And *you* - have a merry Christmas, too.
- Narrator: [voiceover] And so Santa took Karen home, and made ready to bring Frosty back to the North Pole with him.
- [Karen gets off the sleigh and almost slips, but Frosty saves her]
- Narrator: Karen *hated* to say goodbye to Frosty. But as Santa promised, Frosty returned every year with the magical Christmas snow. And every year there was a great celebration with a big Christmas parade.
- Teacher: [seeing the children out of their seats looking at the snow outside the window and taps ruler on her desk] Children, back to your seats. The snow can wait. Now, now... I've hired Professor Hinkle the magician to entertain at today's class Christmas party, so pay attention.
- Boy #1: But you can't take that hat back! It brought Frosty to life.
- Karen (later airings): You saw it happen!
- Professor Hinkle: I saw nothing of the kind.
- Narrator: [voiceover] And now it was Frosty's good fortune that right at the bottom of the hill was a tiny greenhouse used to grow precious tropical poinsettias for Christmas.
- Professor Hinkle: [looking into his hat] Where is that rabbit? Hocus-Pocus, where *are* you? Bah! The only thing this hat's good for is the trash can!
