Santa Claus : All right. What are you up to?
Mrs. Santa : Up to? Do I look like I'm up to something?
Santa Claus : No, you don't look like you're up to something, but whenever you look like you're not up to ANYTHING, you're up to something.

Dr. Bobbin : And for what? Just to deliver presents to a bunch of folks who don't give a hoot in the first place.
Mrs. Santa : Now, now, Doctor. It's not just presents and you know it. What about all that Christmas spirit and good will?
Dr. Bobbin : If you had any sense, you'd give it up as a bad job and stay home in bed this year.
Mrs. Santa : Oh come now, if Santa stayed home, why there would be no Christmas.
Dr. Bobbin : Who cares? Nobody cares about Christmas anymore.
Santa Claus : They don't?
Dr. Bobbin : Of course not. Wouldn't surprise me none if nobody even believed in you anymore.
Mrs. Santa : Now Santa, don't you pay him any mind.
Dr. Bobbin : Nobody cares a hoot and a holler for you or Christmas. Oh by the way, Merry Christmas to you.

Santa Claus : You say my friends were asking you about Christmas?
Ignatius Thistlewhite : Yeah. They wanted to know if we kids cared about Santa Claus, and all.
Mr. Thistlewhite : And uh, what did you tell them?
Ignatius Thistlewhite : Heck, I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore. That's kid's stuff. Isn't it?
Santa Claus : Mmm. Just as I thought.
Ignatius Thistlewhite : You don't believe in Santa Claus, do you, Dad?
Mr. Thistlewhite : Why, uh, yes. Matter of fact, I do.
Ignatius Thistlewhite : [to Santa] How about you?
Santa Claus : Me? Why, of course I do.
