Trudy : Are you going to help us, Santa?
Santa Claus : Yeah. Of course. I'm going to help you. I'm going to get you out of there. Take all these bad guys on my naughty list. I'm going to take a lump of coal, each and every one of them, and shove it straight up...
Trudy : The ass.
Santa Claus : Well, I mean, come on, sweetie. We want to keep it on the nice list, you know.
Trudy : Sorry. Can I say butthole then?
Santa Claus : I mean, it's borderline.
Trudy : How about anus?

Trudy : Did you ever have a mommy and daddy?
Santa Claus : [grunts and chuckles] Yeah, of course I had a mommy and daddy. I wasn't... I wasn't always Santa Claus. I had a life before this. A long, long, long time ago. They used to call me, uh... Nicomund.
[flashback begins with flames rumbling and Nicomund panting]
Santa Claus : Nicomund the Red.
Trudy : You had a different job then?
Santa Claus : Yeah, you could say that. I was a warrior. A raider. A thief. And if somebody got in my way, me and Skullcrusher would...
Trudy : Who's Skullcrusher?
Santa Claus : Skullcrusher's my, uh... my hammer. My favorite hammer. I was a surgeon with that thing. Used to be able to take three heads, line 'em up...
[makes thudding sound]
Trudy : But why?
Santa Claus : What?
Trudy : Why'd you do those things?
Santa Claus : Because I was mean. And I was greedy. And I wanted gold, jewels. Yeah, I mean, if there was a naughty list back then, I'd be top dog.
Trudy : Well, maybe...
Santa Claus : What?
Trudy : Maybe all those bad things you used to do... maybe you can use them to do good things instead. To help.
Santa Claus : What do you mean?
Trudy : Mr. Bunny, he wasn't just a toy. That night, you gave me what I wished for. A best friend. 'Cause you're good and kind. And you mean more than just the presents you bring. That's why I believe in you, Santa. That's why I believe.
Santa Claus : [exhaling sharply] Thank you. You stay hidden, Trudy, till I come get you. Stay safe.
