""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces, Ho Ho!"" "Guys, guys, we've lost Santa That's better." "Julius!" "Look!" "It's Santa's Flying Forces!" " Not again..." " Yahooo!" "Be Careful!" "Niko Look out!" "Darn Kid!" " l think I know which one my Dad is." " Don't tell me, the one who flies the fastest, íumps the highest and has the most courage?" "Did you see him too!" "?" " l'd do anything to be up there flying with my dad. - l know." "But these things don't happen overnight, they take practice." "But I'm always practicing." "Sure." "But you've got to really believe in yourself." "I believe you can fly." "Now show me that you believe it!" "That's my boy!" "Don't think!" "Believe!" "Believe!" "Oh!" "I don't believe it." "I almost flew this time, didn't I Julius?" "You sure did, Niko." "You sure did." "Hey, Niko!" "Was your Daddy a chicken?" "'Cause you fly like a chicken!" "My Dad's on the Flying Forces!" "Yeah!" "And my Dad's Santa Claus." "Just you wait!" "Or I'll..." "Remember how we deal with bullies?" "Chin up... and íust ignore them." "...and íust ignore them." "My Daddy's a three legged moose!" "And my Daddy's a four headed..." "Now that's ignoring!" "I don't get it, Julius." "If Dad's really on the Forces, why can't I fly like him?" "No one knows exactly why Santa's Flying Forces... have the gift of flight." "Maybe those boys are right." "Maybe my Dad isn't one of the Flying Forces." "You're ten times as brave as those boys!" "Just pretend they're not there." " You're right, Julius." " Thank you." "I'll go practice flying at Antler's Hill... ..where they can't see me." " Hey!" "That's not what I said!" "Come back here!" "If anyone heard you talking about going to Antler's Hill for flying practice..." "Are you going to Antler's Hill for flying practice?" "No definitely not." "No way." " Can I come along?" " Would you?" "!" "No one is going anywhere for flying practice!" "Least of all to Antler's Hill!" "Antler's Hill?" "!" "How many times have you been told, Niko?" " Sneaking out of Home Valley is strictly forbidden!" " Yes, sir." "Niko wasn't sneaking anywhere." "I asked him to come and help me... uh, pick up my Aunt Sally." "She hasn't been well." "Aunt Sally!" "Everybody, this is my Aunt Sally." "Hello everybody!" "I'd better be going now." " l'll take you." " Such a good boy." "Let me get that for you." "Alright, alright." "But it won't be so funny if the wolves see you." "We're only safe here in the valley as long as the wolves don't know it exists." "That's why no-one leaves Home Valley." " Yes, Dad." " Yes, sir." "You heard our Leader." "I don't want to hear anymore talk of going to Antler's Hill!" " ls that clear?" " Okay, Julius." "Finally I'm getting through to you." " See you tomorrow at Antler's Hill." " See you tomorrow at Antler's Hill." "Now let's see, I'm sure I was supposed to take a right back there and then a left and then a another left and then a right." "That means I should be back at the tourist bus right about... now?" "Niko stay still!" "Mom." "Why does nobody believe that Dad is one the Flying Forces?" "Well, no one ever met him, apart from me." "Tell me about Dad, again." "Okay..." "Your Dad was the handsomest reindeer in Santa's Flying Forces." "That must be where l get it." "It was the day after Christmas, and I went out on my own, looking for moss." "Suddenly the Flying Forces landed right in front of me!" " Santa's sleigh had broken down." " And what happened then?" "That's when I met your Dad." "He was a real daredevil... and once he'd fixed the sleigh, he took me for a spin." "It was magical, flying through the clouds high above the valley..." "But then he had to leave." "After that I never saw him again." "If "Daddy" was so great, how come he never came to visit his son?" "Well..." "He never knew Niko here would be born that very next spring." "Who could know." "But why didn't you go and tell him?" "Because he lives with the Flying Forces in Santa's Fell... and no-one knows the way there." "Don't you miss him?" "No!" "I have one man in my life and he's quite enough." "Now go to sleep, Niko!" "Moooom..." "What's Dad's name?" "Good night, Niko." "More bad luck, boss." "No reindeer anywhere." "We need reindeer!" "We need food!" "I've got an idea boss." "One word Moss!" "Heh?" "!" "Reindeer eat moss." "We eat reindeer." "I'm simply cutting out the middle man." "Please Yourself." "Our luck Must change!" "Go out there." "Find food!" "Find reindeer!" "Crash landing manoeuvre." "Never know when you're going to need it." "I thought I'd find you here!" "What do you have to say for yourself, young man!" "?" "You've got to help me." "I've been making a fool of myself all morning Please?" "None of that." "It's dangerous out here." "Straight back to Home Valley with you!" "Please!" "Oh all right, but only for one minute." "Maybe you don't have to fly." "Maybe you could glide." "It's really íust falling but slower." "Hey, I'm great at falling!" "Good!" "Now, climb to the top of that tree and..." "Are you crazy?" "!" "Reindeer don't climb trees, that's íust dumb!" "Wow!" "Are you really gonna do it?" "Oh yeah..." "And don't try to stop me!" "Not bad." "Aah," "now that's a view." "Breathtaking." "No wonder reindeer have been so hard to find." "What're you on about, Specs?" "They've started living in trees." "What?" "Don't worry Niko, I know you'll fly one day." "Really?" "You think so?" "Sure!" "Wo... wo... wo..." "Wolves!" "Run kids!" "Look where you're going, boys!" "They shouldn't be able to find our tracks now." "Come on, Saga." "We've got to warn the herd!" " Wolves!" " Wolves!" " We saw them!" " Niko." "What's going on?" " Niko!" " l thought I told you..." "Are you sure they didn't follow you?" " Yes, Grandpa, we lost them." " Are you absolutely certain?" "Black Wolf will be pleased!" "Come on, Specs." "Let's eat!" "You go ahead, I'm stuffed." "Just had some moss." "Defensive formation!" "Men on the outside!" "Women and children on the inside!" "Hurry!" "Children, stay together, children!" "Kids, stay close to your mother..." "Keep it moving, c'mon!" "Emergency evacuation!" "Run!" "Dad!" "Come on!" "Hurry Up!" "Dad." "Come on!" "Hey, you let them get away." "Niko!" "Thank goodness you're OK!" "What's going on?" "Everyone..." "Stay calm..." "Who left the valley and led the Wolves to us?" "I..." "I was sure they didn't follow us." "Flying practice, again, was it?" "Look what your silly dream has cost us!" "Our home and very nearly our lives!" "That's enough." "He's íust a boy, he didn't mean for any of this to happen." "The wolves will be back and when they do, there will be many." "We must keep moving." "Oona is right." "We have to keep moving..." "Where to..." "I do not know." "I don't know what to do with the boy, Julius." "He íust doesn't listen." " He'll grow out of it, Miss Oona." " From now on, there will be no more mention of his father or of flying lessons!" "He íust has to forget all that!" "That boy Niko is a íinx." "Unreliable." "How can you trust a boy who thinks he can fly?" "I know, lf only I hadn't gone with Niko, then we'd still have a home." "I don't want you playing with Niko again." "Next time he might bring death to us all." "No wolves to be seen." " Where's Niko?" " Niko?" " Niko?" "!" " Niko where are you?" "!" "Niko where are you?" "Niko's gone!" "We have to go back and find him!" "I'm sorry Oona, but we must continue." "Otherwise the wolves will track us down." "Please, Dad!" "We have to find Niko!" "I'm not leaving without my son!" "No one leaves the herd!" "What if the wolves find your tracks?" "You'll bring them down on us!" "We'll all die!" "He's right, Miss Oona." "This is a íob for me." "I can avoid the wolves by flying and spot the boy from the air." "You must promise to bring him back, Julius!" "Don't you worry about a thing!" "Niko!" "Niko!" "Niko, Wait!" "So, Where are we going?" "I'm going to Santa's Fell." "I'm spending Christmas with my Dad." " Great idea." " Really?" "You think so?" "Sure!" "..." "Only..." "Well, there is one small detail:" "Nobody knows where Santa's Fell is." "So why don't we go back to the herd and ask around... ..and maybe someone might know." " l know where it is." "Really?" "The Flying Forces always disappear behind that big fell on their way home." "Hey!" "So does the moon, big guy." " lt means Santa's Fell must be on the other side of it." " Nonsense!" "I have to be strict with you young man." "I'm drawing this line here... and if you cross it, I will..." "Fine." "But you're on your own, Niko." "I'm leaving." "Hear that?" "That's me, leaving." " Leaving, leaving, leaving." " Good." "'Cause I'm a íinx and I'm unreliable." "You're better off without me." "Then again" " Santa's fell!" "?" "Are you kidding me!" "?" "I've always wanted to go there." "Lots of toys, right?" "And elves!" "Who doesn't love elves!" "?" "Oh... doggies!" "I'm saved!" "How do you lose a whole herd of reindeer!" "?" "Those reindeer are meanies, Boss." "I mean look at poor Smiley, they nearly crushed him to death!" "What I need's a miracle with this lot." "Am I glad to see a friendly face!" "Hi, how d'you do?" "I'm Essie, nice to meet you." "You would not believe what I've been through!" "One minute I'm minding my own business while the owners go skiing." "Next minute it's, like..." "Hello!" "Where are all the signs?" "I must've been wandering around for days!" "Be a sweetheart and fetch me some water. I am dry as a bone!" "is he a little..." "simple in the head?" "Poor pooch!" "You're... you're no pooch..." "You're... a wolf!" "And you're a marshmallow..." "Sweet and tasty!" ""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces, ho ho!"" "I hate it when they do that!" "But The Flying Forces are nice and don't eat anyone!" "They help Santa bring presents to all the children!" "And... and if you stop being naughty and become nice..." "Santa might give you a íob too!" "Then you'll get plenty of food!" "Much better than eating me... right...?" "Flying Forces..." "Santa Claus... presents..." "That's it!" "Nobody touches the marshmallow!" "She's given me an idea!" "She's our lucky charm, ha ha ha!" "We're moving out!" "Next stop, Santa's Fell!" "Let's..." "let's take a break..." "The Flying Forces!" "We're almost there!" "Yes!" "But... but I was sure..." "You did your best, Niko." "At least you tried." "No one will ever be able to say we gave up." "Hey!" "I thought we were giving up!" ""Ain't no point in looking back, so they tell me, though I know this to be true, I've been tossing and..."" "Are you okay madam?" "Miss!" "Wilma." "And yes, I'm fine!" "But... you're trapped." "I'm not trapped." "I'm íust resting." "What did you have to go and do that for?" "Hey!" "We íust saved your life!" "Exactly!" "And now I have to save both your lives before we're even." "Aah, this is íust great!" "I'm already late for a big gig in the south." "And you thought hanging upside down was going to speed things up?" "Maybe I'll íust have to save his life twice." "Don't worry, Wilma." "You don't have to save our lives." "We're heading north anyway." "That's west, Captain compass." "That's north." "That's west Captain compass, that's north." "You know, Niko, that foolish weasel can teach you one important lesson:" "Those who can't read nature, will be beaten by nature." " Read?" " That's right." "Take that cloud over there, for instance." " Now, what could that mean?" " That a storm is coming?" "A common mistake." "No, that particular type of cloud is harmless." "What it means is..." "No need to be afraid, Niko." "It's íust a gust." "It'll blow over before you know it." "Julius!" "Julius!" "Julius!" "I don't want to sound gushy or anything," " but I íust want you to know..." " Yes?" "I would never eat you." "That's... sweet?" " l'm hungry!" " And I'm sick and tired of walking." "Listen up men!" "For years we've been forced to hunt and scavenge for our next meal." "Well no more!" "Thanks to our new lucky charm here..." "Hey, go on Essie!" "... I have had an idea, that will change our lives!" "We're going to Santa's Fell... and we're going to feast on his flying reindeer." "And by eating our enemies, their strength will become ours!" "You will be Santa's Flying Wolves!" "Um, Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but if you eat Santa's reindeer, don't you think he might íust be a little bit upset?" "True." "That's why we're going to eat Santa too!" "And I'll take his place!" "Just think of all the delicious little boys and girls... waiting for me to visit!" "But Santa's supposed to give children presents, not eat them!" "New Santa, new rules." "Next stop Santa's Fell!" "...Uh, I was íust leaving..." "Eat him!" "Niko!" "Niiko!" "Where are you?" "!" "Niko!" "Boy am I glad to see you!" "They're gaining on us!" "Faster, Niko!" " You fly, save yourself!" " Oh no, Quick!" "Turn left!" "The reindeer knows too much..." "No survivors." "My public!" "My first number is guaranteed to bring the house down." ""Well there's something that I wanna say, and there's something that I gotta do..."" " Oh goody!" "I love a good knees-up!" " Really?" "Me too." "This seat's free, Miss Essie." "..even got down on my knees to pray, 'cos baby I miss you... 'cos baby I miss you..." "Woooh!" "Watch out for the tree!" "I see it!" "Backseat drivers." "I can't believe we got through that without a single scratch!" "Nice going, Nutboy!" "Nutboy!" "?" "My legs..." "I can't feel my legs!" "What the heck are you doing?" "All right, sorry, keep your hair on!" "The reindeer boy must be destroyed!" "Ah ah, only room for one up here, missy." "is that the gratitude I get for saving your furry hide?" "What do you mean, saving my handsome hide?" "I had the situation perfectly under control." "Hrmph!" "Well that's the last time I'll save your..." "Hey..." "I said furry, not handsome." "Okay, so you saved our lives and now we're quits." "I suppose you'll want to be on your way now." " You don't have to go." " l know when I'm not wanted." "Let's go Niko." "Santa's Fell is that way." "Oh, and before I go, Santa's Fell is that way." "Don't listen to her!" "She's totally unreliable." " You know the way to Santa's Fell?" " Yup." "Used to work there." " Did you hear that Julius!" "?" " You really think we believe that?" "You've got to come with us!" "The wolves are gonna eat Santa and his flying forces." "What?" "When were you going to tell me this?" "!" "Calm down." "No wolf ever made it all the way up to Santa's Fell." " Ciao, fellas!" " Please!" "We need you." "We'll do anything!" "Anything?" "Don't get used to the view Missy." "This is strictly a temporary situation." "So have you ever met the Flying Forces?" " Oh yeah, lots of times." " Woah!" "Can't you keep your hands off of me for one second." "Madam, please!" "My Dad's in the Flying Forces, maybe you've met him?" "Really?" "Your Dad's one of those guys?" "What do you mean one of'those guys'?" "Oh nothing, I íust... never thought of them as the daddy types." " What's your Dad's name?" " l don't know yet." "But he's going to teach me how to fly!" "Oh, they love their flying." "It's seems like that's all they do." "I've taught Niko all the flying exercises he needs to know." "Really?" "Have you taught him launching leaps?" "Or breathing short bursts?" "Or using hooves for improved aerodynamics..." "Wow!" "Real flying exercises!" "I'll be keeping an eye on you, missy." "Why?" "Do you have crush on me, Julius?" "No!" "And the name's Nutboy!" "I mean Julius!" "I mean... aw, shut up!" "Isn't there a faster way, Wilma?" "Well, the shortcut across the River of Certain Doom is íust around the corner..." "River of Certain Doom!" "?" "Okay, this is it!" "Pah!" "That's nothing." "Okay Niko, here's the plan..." "Run!" "That's it, Niko!" "You can do it!" "Now íump!" "Nice going Niko." "And a heck of a plan, Julius." "The River of Certain Doom was a Piece of Cake!" "That was the Trickle of Tranquility." "This is the River of Certain Doom." "How..." "how do we get across?" "Across the bridge, of course." "...or not." "All aboard!" "We have to fly across!" " Are you nuts?" " l'll do the flying exercises Wilma taught me." "What's all this Wilma stuff?" "Don't you listen to me anymore?" "I do, Julius." "You always say I can fly!" "That's different!" "This is for real!" "I can fly, I can fly..." "It's working!" "It's working!" "Oh, nooo!" "That's the end of reindeer boy." "Looks like you bring us luck after all, marshmallow." "Heh heh!" " Poor kid!" " Come on!" "We have to find another way across." "There's a meal waiting at Santa's Fell!" " Niko!" "Get up!" "Hurry!" " Oh no!" "Niko!" "Niko, can you hear me?" "Hurry, Julius!" "Hurry!" "We're going to need rocks..." "No, too big!" "Too small!" "Too flat!" "Niko's in mortal danger and you're insulting rocks!" "Stop complaining and grab one!" "On my signal!" "Three... two... one... now!" "Quick!" "Help me pull him up!" "Noooo!" "Ju..." "Julius..." " He's alive!" " He's alive!" "Uhm, nice work, nut boy." "Uhm, you too, whatever..." "Come on!" "We can't íust lie around here all day!" "I think somebody does need to lie around here all day." "Specs." "Do you really think Black Wolf will eat Santa and his Flying Forces?" "Well... you know doing bad things is kind of a tradition for us wolves." "But we're not all like that." "Nasty, I mean." "Some of us íust look that way." "Hey, d'you think you could make me look like less of a bad guy?" "Hmm, let's see." "You can start by wagging your tail..." "Come on, tail, wag!" "Talking to your tail again, Specs?" "Hey, nut boy, who are your friends?" "Oh, nobody." "Aren't you going to introduce me?" "Well... that's my aunt Sally." "That's my wife and that..." "That's my son." "Why aren't you at home with them instead of hanging around with reindeer boy?" "One time, long ago... it was a cold winter and the little one was hungry." "So I went out to find food." "When I came back, they were all gone..." "Aunt Sally, my wife..." "my son... ln the snow were tracks... wolftracks..." "Oh, I'm so sorry, nut boy." "I didn't know." "Niko's my family now... at least until he finds his real Dad..." "What about you?" "Do you have a family?" "Yeah, sort of." "'Sort of'?" "Truth is, my family didn't want me to be a singer." "But I was young and restless." "So I ran away from home... I've been away for years." "I know what it's like." "To be on your own." "I... I dreamt that Black Wolf attacked the herd and ate Mom... and Saga." "It's íust a nightmare, Niko... lt wasn't your fault the wolves attacked the herd." " Nobody blames you." " How do you know?" "If Julius says so, then it's true." ""Well there's something that I wanna say,"" "and there's something that I gotta do..."" "Gentlemen!" "I give you:" "Santa's Fell!" "Wow!" "We did it!" "We did it!" "Yay!" "Come on!" "We have to hurry!" "It's Christmas Day tomorrow!" "The entrance to Santa's Fell." "Said to be haunted and full of deadly traps at every turn." "No one who has gone in there has made it back out alive..." "Cool!" "Last one in is a chicken!" "Hey!" "I'm no chicken!" "I'm a flying squirrel!" "Hey, Ssh, here's the secret shortcut." "We haven't been very lucky with shortcuts so, in my considered opinion..." "You didn't hear my considered opinion!" "After you, marshmallow." "But..." "I thought I was your lucky charm!" "You are. lf there are any surprises in there, you get them first." "Lucky for us!" "I'll go first, boss." "I'm going to miss you Specs." "Watch this step, guys!" "That's it, Niko!" "I'm not letting you go one step further." "You go on Wilma, find his Dad and tell him the boy says hello!" "Niko and me will stay right here!" "Nothing to be afraid of..." "Ice can't hurt me." "Ice is nice." "Nice ice." "Move it!" "Specs!" "Look out!" "Boys!" "The place where dreams come true!" "Up there is Santa's Factory." "And that's the Flying Forces' Airport." "Wow!" "Dad..." "I'm gonna to meet Dad!" "You know, Niko, people... aren't always exactly the way you think they are... I know exactly what Dad is!" "A hero!" "But he..." "What Nutboy's trying to say is, well... sometimes heroes turn out to be íust like everyone else." "My Dad's not like everyone else!" "Maybe we should come back after Christmas!" "Niko!" "Wait!" "Stay sharp, men." "Christmas is no time for fun... well it is but..." "you know what I mean!" " Dasher?" " l'm not in the mood for interruptions, Comet." " But Dasher..." " You too Blitzen!" "Reindeer on the runway!" "Nice work guys." "We almost broke Santa!" "Hey, what's the bright idea, kid, standing on the runway!" " Are you trying to ruin Christmas?" " N-no." "I... my Dad, I wanted to..." " Do you have any idea who we are?" " Of course he does!" "Everybody knows the Flying Forces!" ""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces!" "Ho ho!"" "All right, that's enough!" "Christmas is right on top of us:" "C-day!" "I won't tolerate sloppiness." "One slip up like that tomorrow... and we're all out of a íob!" " Yeah, right..." " What's funny?" " We can't get fired." " We're irreplaceable." "We're the Flying Forces!" ""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces!" "Ho ho!"" "Guys, guys, guys, seriously, it's starting to get annoying." "Now let's íust hear the kid out." "The wolves... they..." "want to eat you and Santa..." "Thanks kid, but there's nothing to worry about." "No wolf has ever made it through the labyrinth." "Why don't you come and give that imagination of yours something... ..to drink in the mess hall?" " Yeah c'mon I'm parched." "Donner, you're incorrigible." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "Hello?" "Here speaks Donner." "Ve're needing more barley brew." "Over." "For crying out loud!" "Again!" "?" "Guys, guys listen up." "I íust thought of something." "Nobody can get through the ice labyrinth, right... so how did the kid get here?" "I..." " Hello, boys!" " Wilma!" "Okay boys, have I got a song for you!" " Hit it!" " Hey, Wilma!" " Do a song!" ""Hello Fellas, we know you're heroes and you can fly... so high." "You all make Christmas a special time." "Now one of you will get a surprise." "A real big surprise." "is it Dasher so strong and wise?" "Or is it Cutie Cupid with his dreamy eyes?" "is it Vixen or even Blitzen, come on Prancer, don't you tell me no lies." "Listen Fellas, this boy has come along way, today." "And one of you, share the same DNA." "So one of you is Niko's Daddy," "What?" "So tell me who is Niko's Daddy." "She's right... one of you is my Dad." "Do any of you remember taking a young lady reindeer flying one Christmas?" "Yeah." "Sorry kid, this is the world famous Flying Forces you're dealing with... we're gonna need more details." ""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces!" "Ho ho!"" "Flying Fools, if you ask me." "Her name was Oona..." "from Home Valley." " Na..." " No, doesn't ring a bell." " l was so sure..." " Santa's Flying Forces...!" "Pah!" "None of you deserve to be this boy's father!" "Come on, Niko!" "We don't need these guys." "There is one way we can settle this." "The ability to fly is only passed from father to son." "If Niko can fly, then we'll know one of us is his father." "So guys, what do you think?" "The flying test!" "The flying test!" "Y... you don't have to do this, Niko." "There are many other ways of finding out who your Dad is." "Like what?" "Like..." "like... I know I can fly, Julius." "Just like you always said." "Don't worry, Julius." "It'll be OK." "Imagine you're a shooting star in the sky." "Don't give in to fear." "If you get scared, your power of flight disappears." "You're not here to fall, Niko." "You're here to fly!" " Go, kid." " lt's doable." "Yes, Niko!" "No!" "I'm not letting you do this!" "You mean..." "you don't believe I can do it?" "Yes." "No. I mean... you almost died at the River of Certain Doom..." "What if you're not so lucky this time?" "I don't need your help, Julius." "Believe you can, and you will fly!" "Believe you can, and you will fly!" "Nooo!" "Niko!" "Niko!" "Niko!" "Are you hurt?" "You were right, Julius." "I couldn't do it." "Phew!" "Well, he tried." "Don't feel bad, kid." "Wilma, take this brave boy back to his home." "I guess my Dad wasn't one of Santa's reindeer." "He was íust a coward, like me." "I know it feels bad, Niko." "But when we're back home things will look better." "I don't wanna to go back home." "I wanted to fly." "Ya always said you believed I could do it, but you lied!" "I was íust being cautious." " You didn't want me to come here." " Of course I did!" " You didn't want me to find Dad." " Niko!" " You didn't want me to fly." " Lower your voice." " Guys!" " You ruined everything!" " l forbid you to..." " You can't forbid me anything." "You're not my Dad." " l never wanna to see you again!" " Niko!" "Wait!" "Nutboy means well." "He's íust..." " Wolves!" " Oh no!" "Wolves!" "The wolves are here!" "Now, Niko." "I told you, no wolf has ever..." "Me..." "Men!" "Assume flying positions." "There's a new Santa in town!" " Why don't they fly away?" " They're too scared." "They've lost the belief." "Hey nice wolf, down boy." "Not the face, not the face!" "Christmas dinner is served!" "You!" "You're supposed to be dead!" "I'll give you something to laugh about!" "Run!" "Help!" "Santa!" "The wolves are here!" "You've reached Santa's Hotline." "If you have been nice all year and want to leave a wish list, please press one." "If you've been naughty, please hold and one of our elf-operators will be with you shortly." "Please state the nature of your naughtiness." "Okaaaay." "No presents for you this year." "Wow!" "A teddy bear!" "Lucky you!" "Hey, reindeer boy." "Know how we catch squirrels in the summer?" "Leave him alone!" "Don't worry, Niko!" "I'll take care of him." "Niko!" "Come on!" "You gotta help him!" "You can fly!" "No one to help you now, reindeer boy!" "Hey come back here you coward!" "I wasn't finished." "Wooooaaaah!" "Niko needs help!" "We have to save him!" "We..." "we can't even save ourselves..." "That boy braved rivers, wolves and blizzards to meet you... the Flying Forces." "He thought you were the bravest, most heroic reindeer in the world!" "He believed in you!" "Well?" "Was he wrong?" "Are you the world famous Flying Forces who never give up, no matter what... or íust a bunch of frightened..." "horses?" "We're reindeer, we're not horses!" "We're Santa's Flying Forces." " Niko!" " Julius!" "Hold on Niko!" "Men, Santa Speed!" "End of the line for you reindeer boy..." "Julius!" "No!" "I've always believed in you Niko." "Julius!" "At least I won't go on an empty stomach!" "You did, it Niko!" "You can fly!" "You can fly!" "Yaahooooo!" "Uh, Boss... what do we do now?" "Who needth threindeeth when you've got moth." "Hey, wanna go see if there are some leftovers in Santa's kitchen?" "That sounds like the best Christmas present ever." "Hey, kid." "Good work." "Thanks, uh, Prancer, is it?" "Well, actually... you can call me Dad." "You're..." "You're my Dad?" "!" "Yeah ..." "I..." "I guess so." "Wow." "Hey fellas, a big cheer for my sun, the hero!" "Wheeeheeeey!" ""For he's a íolly good reindeer..."" "Ho, ho, ho, man!" "Santa is ready!" "Oh wow!" "So you must be Niko." "Er... yes sir." "I hear you've had quite a time." "I've had a word with the boys... and they tell me you may be able to do me a little favour." "Oh Wow!" "Look at the boy, he really did it." "You were pretty heroic yourself, Julius." "I kinda liked "Nutboy"." "Aah." "Listen kid, I'm sorry..." "about earlier." "Y'know, not telling you right away." "I guess I was..." " Scared?" " No, no." "Santa's reindeer don't get scared." "When Christmas is over, Dad, we can go back to the herd... and you'll meet Mom again and Grandpa and we can all live together!" "Oh, of course that would be great, but... we need to practice flying every day, y'know race over the Alps!" "Shoot up to the moon!" "But what about after all that...?" "After all that we'll have even more fun!" "Sing Reindeer Songs, play Reindeer Games!" "And boogie the night away!" " Funky!" " Yeah, man!" "I have to go back home now, Niko, I'll tell your mother you're alright." "I know you'll be the best reindeer on The Flying Forces," " Julius, wait!" "..íust like you always dreamed of." "Julius, come back!" "Goodbye... son." "Why did he leave, Wilma?" "!" "I reckon he didn't want to get in the way." "I'm telling the truth!" "Niko can fly and has íoined Santa's Flying Forces!" "We don't have time for your stories, Julius." "They don't put food in our mouths." "I trusted you to bring my boy back!" "I believe you, Julius... do you think Niko's happy?" "Sure." "I've never seen him so happy." " Hey, what's that up there?" "!" " What's that up there?" "It's Niko!" " Niko can really fly!" " He can fly!" "Niko!" "My little boy!" "Mo-hom." "Not in front of everybody." "What happened?" "!" "Are you all right?" "!" "Where have you been!" "?" "I'm sorry I ran away, Mom." "Niko?" "!" "Why aren't you with the Flying Forces?" "!" "Because well l..." "And they let you fly off on your own?" "!" "Those irresponsible, good for nothing..." ""We're reindeer we're not horses, we're Santa's Flying Forces!" "Ho ho!"" "My oh My!" "I never thought I'd see the day... it's Santa Claus!" "Make it snappy, boys!" "As a token of our gratitude, for saving our lives," "Julius the Flying Hamster..." "I mean, Squirrel will from now on be an honorary member of Santa's Flying Forces." "What...?" "I..." "Okay men, come on!" ""He's a squirrel not a hamster, a hero not a prankster, ho ho!"" "Thanks, guys." "That's... almost too much." "Yes, well, it is." "But what the heck!" "It's Christmas!" "Hey Niko, you coming with us?" "I went all the way to Santa's Fell to find my Dad... but then I realized he was with me all along." "I'm staying here." "But." "Maybe I could come visit you after Christmas if that's OK?" "Yeah, I could teach you vertical take offs... and backward flips." "Well, ahem if that's OK with your Mom?" "Merry Christmas Niko." "Let's get this how on the road boys!" "Ho ho ho!" "Hi Niko." "Woh." "Over here!" "Plenty of food and water." "What did I tell ya?" "I always said the boy could fly!" "Well done Niko!" "Yay!" "Yeeeehaaaahhh!" "Niko, slow down!" "Don't ever do that again..." "What the heck, do it again!" "Do it again!" "Yaaaaahhhoooooooo!" "SUB-ENG---T4P3"
