Mouse: “Why are you all sitting around in stale gingerbread smoke? And who’s your friend?”
Spicoli: “‘Who’s your friend?’ Dude, is that a rhetorical question like ‘Who’s your daddy?'”
Mouse: “No, no it isn’t. Hang on while I get the remote for the ceiling fan, okay?”
Officer Nick: “Up to your old ‘Christmas Magic’ tricks again, eh, Arthur?”
Art Deco: “You got nothin’ on me, Officer Nick! Not one shred of evidence!”
Officer Nick: “I think I have a little bit of evidence. Ho ho ho.”
Art Deco: “It’s a fair cop.”
… and their imaginary friends. And the humans, too.
As has become a holiday tradition around here, this Christmas Eve I am re-running one of Dennis’s classic adventures, when he, Tucker, and Trouble resorted to extreme measures in an attempt to get off the “Naughty” list, while Trixie tried to keep everything from going off the rails. As usual, nothing went as planned …

Chaplin: “I have to say, we’re pretty disappointed in the Christmas decorations you dogs picked out.”
Charlee: “Yeah, these are just a bunch of scary inflatable freaks. Where are the dangly ornaments we can bat around?”
Art Deco: “Dangly ornaments tend to be up high. That makes them difficult to, uh, acquire when you’re short.”
Java Bean: “Doesn’t Christmas magic help with that?”
Lulu: “There wasn’t any Christmas magic, remember? There was only dragging stuff around from other yards.”
Java Bean: “Oh, right.”
Java Bean: “Has that gnome been back since I gave him that list of decorations I like?”
Lulu: “Not that I noticed, but I’ve been busy pretending to be going on a train ride.”
Java Bean: “Well that’s disappointing. It’s so hard to find good help these days.”
Ron Burgundy: “… And in local news, officials have been investigating a rash of disappearing Christmas ornaments.”
Chaplin: “Ooh, a rash. Sounds itchy.”
Art Deco: “So do you have an idea what kind of decorations you want?”
Java Bean: “Well the Santa train they have up the street is pretty cute. Can you make something like that appear?”
Java Bean: “Who are you?”
Art Deco: “I’m a gnome. My name is Art Deco.”
Lulu: “And you sell Christmas decorations?”
Art Deco: “I just make them appear. Like magic. In the spirit of Christmas.”
Lulu: “What are you hanging around out here for, Bean?”
Java Bean: “I’m waiting for the Christmas decorations to appear.”
