00:00Papa! Papa, wait!
00:20But I don't understand!
00:22A tree! Presents!
00:24And look at it, Papa! A turkey! And cranberry sauce! And plum pudding! And candy! And nuts!
00:29And look! Brand new shoes!
00:32But how? I don't understand!
00:34You couldn't have won it on a quiz program! We haven't got any phones!
00:37No, Papa! I didn't win anything! I...
00:39Mama! You're whittling! You didn't hug yet!
00:41No, I didn't hug anything! All I did...
00:43I know! You wired that drummer in Boston to win a quiz on you!
00:46That sheik with the patent leather shoes and tuxedo!
00:49I remember what he said when we announced our engagement!
00:52If ever you needed anything...
00:54Papa, that was 22 years ago!
00:56I don't care if it was 100 years ago!
00:58I never trusted a guy with a tuxedo!
01:00Especially a rented one!
01:02Oh, let Mama explain, Papa!
01:04No, the money didn't come from him!
01:06It came from...
01:08Here, Papa! You'd better sit down!
01:12You'd better loosen your collar, Papa!
01:14Rosalinda, bring Papa a glass of water!
01:18Papa, you love me, don't you?
01:20Of course I love you!
01:22And you trust me?
01:24You'd believe me if I told you something, wouldn't you?
01:26Even if nobody else in all the world would believe me...
01:28You would believe me, wouldn't you, Papa?
01:30Sure I would, Mama!
01:32Well...
01:34I was sitting right here...
01:36In this chair...
01:38And I was praying...
01:40And...
01:42Well...
01:44This money...
01:46$1,500...
01:48Came out and right down through the hole in the skylight!
01:52$1,500?
01:54From heaven?
01:56You do believe me, don't you, Papa?
01:58If you said it...
02:00I've got to believe you!
02:02Oh, Merry Christmas, Papa!
02:04Merry Christmas, Papa!
02:06You see, Rosie?
02:08I told you old Saint Nick wouldn't forget us!
02:10All we needed was an address!
