03x04 - Merry Christmas

[bunniefuu]

we are in the middle of the
middle of nowhere.
Uhh...

grandpa, can't you crank up
the ac?
i'm afraid it's at maximum

Right now.
We'll stop at the next gas
station.

we'll be grilled cheese by
then!
that's it.

Time to go small to get cool.
Ok.
Recalibrate the freon

Evaporation cycle, expand the
expansion valves, and realign
these condenser cords.

are you sure you know what
you're doing?
one more second, and it's ice

Cube city.
this doesn't look good.


guess that didn't go as
planned, huh?


what's that doing in the
middle of the desert?

grandpa, can we check it out?
Please?
sure.

Don't sweat it.
Ha ha ha!
Uh, sorry.

Just couldn't help myself.
giant toy soldiers?
In death valley?

hmm.
There must have been one of
those holiday theme parks here.

They probably packed up and left
and forgot this thing.
do you feel that cold air?


what is all of this?


Could it be?
Has he finally arrived?

¶ it started when an alien
device did what it did

And stuck itself upon his wrist
with secrets that it hid
now he's got super powers

He's no ordinary kid
he's ben ¶
¶ ben

¶ so if you see him
you might be in for a big
surprise

He'll turn into an alien
before your very eyes
he's slimy, creepy, fast,

And strong
he's every shape and size
he's ben ¶

¶ ben
¶ with all new powers
he's on the case

Fighting off evil
from earth or space
he'll never stop till he

Makes them pay
'cause he's the baddest kid
to ever save the day

Ben ¶

¶ , ,

snow?
Uhh!
which means one thing--

Snowballs!
snow angel.

ha ha!
Now this is what i call chilling
out.

i wonder where they keep the
snow-making machines.

I am warning you.

you're messing with an old

Pro.
gotta admit.

They're using some fancy special
effects to keep us from seeing
the village from outside.

the whole town must be air
conditioned.
are those...

elves?
Yeah, i think so.


I wonder where they keep their
reindeer around here.
uh, right here.

ooh!
you know, being here makes me

Realize that the of us have
never spent a christmas all
together.

huh.
You're right.
our families do get pretty

Busy that time of year.
I mean, with all the holiday
parties.

Having to shop till you drop.
Vacations, you know?
yeah, well, maybe that'll

Change one of these years so we
can all spend a nice, relaxing
holiday together.

uh...
Yeah.
Well, i'm gonna go hit the

Bobsled ride.
ice skating for me.
heh heh heh.

Well, so much for that ever
happening.
yeah!

Whoo-hoo!
Ha ha ha!
Ho ho!

the laugh is not quite right,
and it appears he's decided to
shave, but it looks like it will

Be a perfectly perfect fit.
you must come with us.
oh, i--i'm sorry.

I didn't see anybody around.
Who can i pay for the cocoa?
i'm mr. Jingles.

I want to welcome you to holiday
village.
I'm so happy we finally have a

Chance to meet.
well, nice place you have
here.

thank you so much.
I've been so worried it wouldn't
meet with your approval.

my approval?
why, of course, mr. Claus.
Is it ok if i call you santa?

heh heh heh.
I think you have me confused
with someone else.

Say, you wouldn't know anyone
around here who can fix an air
conditioning unit.

We really need to get back on
the road.
oh, my gosh.

Good heavens, no.
You can't go anywhere.
You belong here.

I created holiday village just
for you.
There.

That's better.

we really need to find

Grandpa.
why?
He's used to not being with us

On christmas.
Bet he's having fun.


i'm so sorry about the
joystick controller, but i
thought you might have other

Chores to attend to.
And i need to make sure you
fulfill your responsibility to

Me first.
Now, may i present your
workshop, santa.

i am not santa.
attention, my elves.
I have the most wonderful

Surprise.

ooh, it's santa!

hooray! Hooray!
as soon as my toys are
perfect, you'll have gifts

Galore to deliver.
Until then, just sit and relax.
Oh, and i almost forgot.

Thank you so much for bringing
those lovely children with you.
I can always use more elves.

i, uh, don't think they want
to sing christmas carols.

it's jingle's guards!
You must skedaddle!
uh, what-le?

it must mean run!
whoa, mega weird.
Ninja nutcrackers.

Well, it's time those wooden
nutcrackers became firewood.
Go, heatblast!

Aw, man!
Cool!
Peppermint.

Whoa!
I've never accelerated on ice
before.

really?
Gee, you could've fooled me.
ouch! Uhh!


earth to xlr .
We don't have time for a

Snowball fight.
i was thinking more like a
snowball slaughterfest.

i never thought i'd say this
to you, but good thinking.
that was really spiffy!

spiffy?
Skedaddle?
Dude, don't you know english?

dude?
do you work here?
yes.

And if you don't leave now, you
will fall under the curse of the
village and become one of us as

Well.
me?
An elf?

Yeah, right.
uh, ben?
You might want to check out your

Ears.
huh?
Ooh...

Well, it looks like i'm not the
only one.
oh, i so can't go elf.

Pointy ears will never be in
fashion.
we need to get grandpa and

Go.
that might not be possible.
Mr. Jingles has him.

He believes your grandpa is
santa claus.
i know why you look so

Unhappy.
You've had nothing to laugh
about.

Here.
Let me change that.
stop.

No.
Heh heh...
No, not that. No.

Ha ha ha!
Ho ho ho!
Ho ho ho ho ho ho!


ho ho ho ho ho!
whoa.

What just happened?
we're running out of time.
If you don't leave soon, you'll

Be stuck here forever!
not without grandpa.
skedaddle!

uhh!
quick, in here!
who's that?

mr. Jingles.
and that's you.
When was that taken?

why, just a few days ago.
in what year?
, of course.

follow me.
aah!

Uhh!
how do we get our grandpa
back?

first, you'd have to destroy
the jingilator, mr. Jingles'
machine.

It's what makes everything here
magical.
But the entrance to his workshop

Is guarded.
You won't be able to get in.
oh, yeah?

Remember, you're a reindeer.
Uh, he's from europe.
the factory is several levels

Below.



Mush!

aah!

uhh!
well, well.
It looks like our new elves

Couldn't wait to get started.
And, elsgood, you know how i
frown upon my elves thinking for

Themselves.
You're all well aware of our
motto in holiday village.

a happy elf is a busy elf.
grandpa.
he must be controlling him.

i want my grandpa back.
i wish i could oblige, but it
wouldn't be polite to return a

Gift as special as mr. Claus.
Now, put them on the assembly
line.

i'm spit up sally.
Watch me spit up.

Spit up.
Spit up.
ugh! Ick!

how will santa ever be able
to deliver this if it's not
perfect?

My toys must be perfect.
Everything must be perfect on
christmas.

Perfect, perfect, perfect.
that's the jingilator.
Time is running out!

what we need is a
distraction.


all i want for christmas are

big arms.
Aw, man!
Well, i guess if at first you

Don't succeed...

stop him!

uhh!
Ben, look out!
aah!

Whoa!
Whoa!
Aah!

Oh!
Uhh!

Uhh!
Uh, the amplification of
currents suggests a fission of

Unstable and undeterminable
isotopes.
Shutting down power source now.

Aah!
aah!
oh, yeah!

The bigger they are, the harder
they fall.
no!

I need to assure the elves
santa is still ok.
Wave to them.

way to get it done, ben.
uh-oh.
It's not working.

come here!
if we destroyed the machine,
why are we still elves?

why is there still a curse?
because now nobody will ever

Be able to experience the joy of
christmas.
You will all make me new toys.

More perfect toys.
Without my perfect toys, what
will santa do?

christmas isn't about giving
the perfect toy.
It's about the spirit in which

We give.
Isn't that right, kids?
yeah.

But i bet giving me a sumo
slammer extreme slamdown would
make you feel really good, huh,

Santa?
Uhh!
what my dorky cousin means is

Being together is what christmas
is all about.
Mr. Jingles, look at the kids

You've kept away from their
families all these christmases.
They need to go home.

well, even if i wanted to
give away these toys, my
reindeer can't fly anymore since

The jingilator is destroyed.
who needs rudolph the
red-nosed reindeer when you've

Got the stink the gassy alien?
you adjust this dial to go
wherever you want on earth.

so that's how he delivers it
all in one night.
come on.

Come on.
We gotta go!
christmas in summer?

Cool!


midnight.
I wonder if the curse is lifted.

Grandpa.
You're back to being grandpa!
and we're back to being

Normal.
Snow machines.
Guess holiday village is normal,

Too.
holiday village is far from
normal, young man.

It happens to be quite special.
Did you know i've been coming
here every year since ?

grandpa elsgood, can we go to
the cocoa fountain?
ha.

Skedaddle.
I'll be right there, kids.
yeah! All right!

elsgood?
skedaddle?
so, if we broke the curse,

Elsgood was never trapped here
in the first place.
but what about mr. Jingles?

this might be your answer.
"holiday village: Founded by
thomas jingles, .

It's not what we give.
It's the spirit in which it is
given."

now, why does that sound
familiar?
hey, grandpa.

About us never celebrating
christmas all together...
yes, ben.

it's cooler doing it now.
ben's right.
But cool might be the wrong

Word.
¶ o what fun it is to ride

In an un-air-conditioned
sleigh ¶
