Quotes
-
[repeated line]
Noel : Hi, my name is Noel, and I have a happiness!
-
Noel : Hey, it's the world thing. The thing called the world. And... and it's Christmas all over the place! Good-bye, old house. There's a lot more of Christmas for me to see.
-
Noel : [as his soul flies through the city and its surrounding areas] I'll race the Christmas dawn around the world. I'll meet *all* the other people in *all* the other houses. Houses made of wood, houses made of brick, old houses, new houses, *rich* houses and poor houses - *big* houses and small houses - houses so tall I can hardly see the top. Houses made of grass, houses made of snow, castles and bungalows, chateaus, and pagodas, and wigwams. And each has its *own* set of people and children things!
Narrator : But some spoke different tongues and led different ways of life; some had never even heard of Christmas.
-
Noel : Hey, the children things are getting bigger.
Miss Freezenda : Oh, Noel, must you *always* be so dramatic?
Noel : They're getting to look almost like the *people* things.
Miss Freezenda : I couldn't care less.
-
Noel : Psst. Where are we?
Miss Freezenda : In the box thing, stupid. Each in our own little compartment.
Noel : But we can't see each other this way.
Miss Freezenda : I'd rather enjoy that.
Noel : Not me.
Miss Freezenda : You're a pest.
Noel : But what about the others?
Miss Freezenda : I couldn't care less.
-
Narrator : But then, it became a terrible thing called January second.
First Father Thing : [as he begins putting the tinsel and ornaments away] Back to normal.
Noel : They're gonna put us in that all-dark box again, Brutus. Why?
Brutus : Because - it's all over.
Noel : He's not gonna get me. I won't go.
-
Narrator : Noel and the rest of the dozen were put into a high, dusty, dark thing called the attic, where they became a thing called forgotten. But, as it always does, the thing called time roamed relentlessly from season to season. And it became a thing called spring - and a thing called summer. Eventually, it was a thing called autumn, the time for pumpkins and turkeys. Then came that truly glorious day when the first snow of the year fell. Then - then, *finally*...
Noel : Hey, it's back again - the good thing - the wonderful, beautiful Christmas-ful thing!
-
First Father Thing : Oh, what's the use? Kids scattered all over the country with families of their own. Let's not bother with the tree this year.
First Mother Thing : All right, dear.
Noel : Oh no! No Christmas? No more Christmas?
Miss Freezenda : *Good*, a *vacation* at *last*!
-
First Mother Thing : [as she hangs Noel on one of Brutus's branches] Here's a good spot for you, little fella.
Noel : I get it; what a neat idea!
[as he swings a little on his hook]
Noel : Hey, look at me!
Miss Freezenda : [annoyed] Oh, Noel, *please* shut up!
-
Noel : Psst, Miss Freezenda?
Miss Freezenda : [interuppting] Don't ask. We are in a thing called a home.
Noel : What's a home thing?
Blue Grapes Ornament : A people things' box.
