Transcript

Intro

{fade from black to a winter sky, snowflakes are falling and in the distance christmasy church bells can be heard. They grow louder and louder as the "An Ethan & Dolan Christmas" logo appears on screen. The bells fade out as an upbeat christmas melody begins. The camera pans down to Will's front door. It swings open, and Will jumps out}

WILL: {singing} Christmas time! Christmas time!
Time for all the bells to chime!
And now I very gladly say,
Christmas is just a day away!

{jumps from his front porch and begins to bounce down the street, the camera follows him as he passes the houses}

WILL: {singing} Christmas time! Christmas time!
More than just a simple rhyme!
Everything is a-okay,
With Christmas just a day away!

{pan to Dolan's window, zoom in with Dolan waking up in bed}

DOLAN: {singing with a different melody} With Christmas just hours away,
My mind is filled with memories, my heart is filled with joy and cheer!
And I shall stay this way.
But how will Ethan ever know the glories of this time of year?

{pan to a vent in Dolan's room and zoom into it, after a few quick turns, the camera ends up in Ethan's room}

ETHAN: {singing, a darker melody} For 3 years now he's stalked my christmas night,
Filling me with oh such yule tide fright!
But this year things are gonna change!
This year things are gonna rearrange!
Cause this year I am taking Santa down!

{Zoom out of Ethan's window and down onto the street, straight into Mick's house, where he is standing in a bathroom shaving}

MICK: {singing, also different} What a waste of a day.
What a pointless holiday.
It just won't leave me be.
And with this year we shall see!

{pan out the door and back down to Will bouncing around the streets}

WILL: {singing, original melody} Christmas time, Christmas time!
Where celebrating is no crime!
My tree remains on into May!
Christmas is just a day away!

{Will stops bouncing, Dolan, Ethan and Mick gather around him, each singing their previous christmas tune}

WILL: {singing} Christmas time! Christmas time!
Time for all the bells to chime!
And now I very gladly say,
Christmas is just a day away!

Christmas time! Christmas time!
More than just a simple rhyme!
Everything is a-okay,
With Christmas just a day away!

DOLAN: {with Will, singing} With Christmas just hours away,
My mind is filled with memories, my heart is filled with joy and cheer!
And I shall stay this way.
But how will Ethan ever know the glories of this time of year?

ETHAN: {with the others, singing} For 3 years now he's stalked my christmas night,
Filling me with oh such yule tide fright!
But this year things are gonna change!
This year things are gonna rearrange!
Cause this year I am taking Santa down!

MICK: {same, singing} What a waste of a day.
What a pointless holiday.
It just won't leave me be.
And with this year we shall see!

ALL: {except for Osvaldo, singing} With Christmas just a day away!

OSVALDO: {speaking} Feliz Navidad.

OSVALDO: ¿Snow... man? No, no quiero.

DOLAN: Great! Then this'll be fun.

MICK: {scoffs. Pushes around Will}

WILL: Now wait just a second. {follows} You can't just hate Christmas.

MICK: Well, I do. {turns around, snaps} And I fail to see how that's any of your business!

WILL: Well.... well it's not!

MICK: {scoffs again. Turns around and walks off}

WILL: {following} But what I don't get is wh... why?

When Santa comes down into the fireplace tonight, I shall show him all the pain and torment he's caused the world. Tonight will be Santa's last Christmas.

WILL: Ho ho ho!

MICK: ...What are you doing now?

WILL: Mick! It's me! Santa Claus!

MICK: ...No. You're Will.

WILL: I've come to remind you of the true meaning of Christmas!

MICK: Oh god. Get out of my house.

WILL: Now, Mick. A little birdy told me you've lost all your Christmas spirit!

MICK: ...what?

WILL: So, Mick. When was it exactly you lost your Christmas love?

MICK: Will, seriously. You should really look into all the facts...

WILL: Oh ho! But come with me and I'll-

MICK: I'm not even Christian!

WILL: -show you all the.... What?

MICK: I'm Jewish.

He lands on Dolan's rooftop, steps out of his sleigh and climbs down the chimney. Inside the house, he lands in the fireplace and steps out, holding a present. He begins to set it under the tree.}

ETHAN: {offscreen} Hello, Santa.

SANTA: {looks up} E.... Ethan?

{Suddenly, a trap door opens beneath him and Santa falls through. He lands in a dark room. We can barely see him in the dim room.}

SANTA: Uff! Hello? Is Anyone there?

{The room becomes filled with light and we see the room is now filled with Mirrors. All with reflected images of Ethan.}

ETHAN: {through all the reflections} Hello again, Santa. It's me, Ethan.

SANTA: Ethan. Wh... What are you doing?

ETHAN: I've finally caught you Santa, you will torture the world no longer.

SANTA: Torture the world? What are you-

ETHAN: Quiet! You've done enough talking.

SANTA: But where are you?

ETHAN: In here!

{Without noticing, Santa has walked into a doorway. He turns around, with Ethan staring right at him, ready to slam the door. The mirrors have dissapeared, and it appears that Santa has wondered into the living room closet}

ETHAN: I'm doing the world a favor! {begins to shut the door}

SANTA: Wait! I only wanted to make the world happy.

ETHAN: {confused} You what?

SANTA: I fly around the world every Christmas Eve and give presents to all the good little children!

ETHAN: {ashamed} ...oh.

SANTA: And I've brought a very special gift for you this year, Ethan.

ETHAN: Really!?
