00:00Don't miss out, the annual Christmas pageant tickets are on sale now.
00:07They're advertising it on TV now?
00:10The pageant is an especially big deal this year.
00:14It's the 75th anniversary.
00:15I want to give special mention to Grace for volunteering to direct it.
00:21You did what?
00:22Oh no.
00:23Did somebody die?
00:24It's worse than that, son.
00:25It's going to be the best Christmas pageant ever.
00:28Oh no, it's the Hermanns.
00:32Now.
00:33The Hermanns are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world.
00:40What'd they do now, dear?
00:41Break another window?
00:42Is that something on fire?
00:46Steal your lunch and then punch you for not having any candy?
00:50No, even worse.
00:53We're going to be in your Bible play.
00:55Herdmans in church.
00:57Oh boy.
01:00We take the pageant seriously.
01:02It's about community and tradition.
01:04What do you all suggest?
01:05That I kick the Herdmans out of the church?
01:08Yes.
01:09I want to be Mary.
01:10And Ralph wants to be Joe.
01:12And the angel of the Lord?
01:14No!
01:15Ow!
01:16The Herdmans shouldn't be here.
01:22They're a poor influence.
01:24You don't look like any Mary I've seen before.
01:27Don't touch him!
01:28I'm happy to take over the part at any time.
01:30I can't just kick him out.
01:34I thought you all might be interested in one of my stuffs.
01:37You never told me you visited the Herdmans.
01:39I got the biggest hand for you guys.
01:40Is your mom home?
01:41Not when the sun's up.
01:44What if the Hermanns ruin this for you?
01:50They probably will.
01:51But it's not about me.
01:52Jesus was born for the Herdmans as much as he was for us.
01:55We'll be missing the whole point of the story if we turn them away.
02:00Now that's a pageant I'd actually like to see.
02:05Mother Mary puffing on a cigar.
02:07Shepherds clobbering each other with their hooks.
02:10Five bucks say they burned down the manger.
