"You know, people celebrate the winter holidays in many different ways." "What do you think, young fella?" "Are you ready for Christmas?" "Yeah, Grandpa." "I sure hope Santa brings me a lot of presents." "Presents, huh?" "Well, that reminds me of a very special Christmas." "I bet you got a lot of presents that year." "Well, just listen." "It started off like any other Christmas." "Everyone was in the holiday spirit coming together to celebrate and share their traditions." "Ernie, this is going to be awesome." "I'm sure learning a lot about how other cultures celebrate the holidays." "And not to mention, all the great food we get to eat." "Hi, guys." "Ooh, shrimp." "in Australia, Christmas comes during the summer and my family barbecues shrimp." "I got to go to the market." "Will you guys take over?" "Yeah, sure, Ernie." "I wish Billy was here with us." "Yeah, but it's cool he went back for his family reunion." "Guys, I just think it's wonderful" " that we get to celebrate together." " Absolutely." "Thank you." "Why are those insipid humans even more disgustingly cheery than usual?" "It's a uniquely human phenomenon, sire known as the "holiday spirit."" "It makes everyone joyous." "And unites them in a common bond of love." "Silence!" "i told you never to utter that word in my presence." "I think there's something we can use here." "It seems their individual cultures cause them to celebrate in different ways." "We should take advantage of these differences." "Brilliant scheme, my dear." "We shall see to it that their diversity" "Shall be their very undoing." "Then what happened, Grandpa?" "Did the evil king ruin Christmas for the Power Rangers?" "Hold on, youngster." "Hold on." "I'll get to that." "The Rangers were still full of holiday cheer preparing for the banquet" "With no idea what King Mondo was plotting." "Meanwhile, though there were these other two fellas who just seemed to have a knack for always getting into trouble." "I wish somebody would invent wrapping paper with round edges." "Let's just get this done before stone gets back." " ( chattering ) - ( gasps )" "Ow!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "( stammering )" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Boys... this is no time for your crazy teenage dancing." "( both groaning )" "We have ourselves... a caper." "Great." "I'll have mine on a bagel, lox and some onions." "I mean a case." " Uh-huh." " Uh-huh." " The case of the missing fruitcakes." " Fruitcakes?" "Yes." "Someone's been lifting fruitcakes all over town." "Must be strong." "My Aunt Millie makes fruitcakes." "You'd need a crane to lift those puppies." "Just find the fruitcakes." "Now." "Yes, sir." "Now!" "( groaning )" "ZORDON:" "A very merry Christmas to you, Alpha." "Aah!" "How did you know?" "I love them." "Thank you, Thank you." "You're welcome, Alpha." "They'll keep the circuitry in my feet warm all winter long." "And now, here's my present for you, Zordon." "I hope you like it." "I programmed it myself." "Here we go." "( chuckling ):" "Thank you, Alpha." "That was very thoughtful." "You look just spiffy, Zordon." "Ho, ho, ho." "You see, we light one candle on each of the eight nights of hanukkah." "that represents freedom for the Jewish community." "So that's what that means." "That's really interesting, Raymond." "Tanya, what's all this stuff you brought in?" "Oh, I'm celebrating the African-American holiday called kwanzaa." "You know, I was wondering:" "what is kwanzaa?" "Kwanzaa is from Swahili." "It means "the first harvest."" "It starts December 26 and ends January 1." "It's a celebration of African-American heritage." "Sounds like a great idea." "Oh, it's wonderful." "The seven candles represent the seven principles we strive for:" "unity, self-determination responsibility to community cooperation, purpose, creativity and faith." "I think it's interesting to see what we have in common as well as what's different." "I just can't believe there's so many ways to celebrate." "When I'm through with you, you won't be celebrating at all." "Sire, I have invented a new weapon called the Bias Blaster." "It causes its victims to only see things their way." "Perfect!" "Now, Sprocket, go to Earth." "Use it on the Rangers." "Great idea, Pop!" "The Rangers'll never know what hit them." "Leave it to me." "This is where the last fruitcake was missing." "Our suspect liked fruitcakes." "What does that tell us about him?" "That he's my Aunt Millie." "No!" "If he eats said fruitcakes there's bound to be a..." "trail of crumbs." "My Aunt Millie's fruitcake's pretty crumby." "Will you quit it with Aunt Millie, already" "And help me find some crumbs?" "Look!" "A green thing." "Look!" "A red thing!" "Look!" "Another green thing!" "Look!" "Another red thing!" "Skull, we're hot on the trail now." "How very festive." "So why wasn't I invited to your little party?" "You're definitely not on the list." "Whoa." "Metal dudes!" "Back off, gear-head!" "Don't you want my present?" "Happy holidays, humans." "Don't say I never gave you anything." "( groaning )" "What was I talking about?" "Oh... okay, so the menorah represents..." "You know, that's very, very interesting but what's really important is the Christmas tree." "Why don't you go chop one down and bring it to me?" "( whistling )" "You want me to go get you your silly little Christmas tree?" "Pfft." "Wait a minute." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means you better watch out 'cause if Santa Claus sees you're mad he ain't gonna bring you presents, is he?" "You know something?" "This banquet thing is lame." "I'm out of here." "Good riddance." "Can you believe that guy?" "He wants to waltz in here and steal our Christmas." ""Christmas"?" "Don't you mean my kwanzaa?" "For your information, Miss Tanya this whole season is about Christmas." "Hello?" "Who made you holiday monitor?" "Some countries don't celebrate holidays this time of year-- like Korea." "I don't know why I'm here." "Like I asked." "Talk to the hand, okay?" "You know, a lot..." "that's what I thought." "Maybe this holiday thing wasn't such a good idea after all." "I couldn't agree more." "It's a big joke." "It's working!" "Excellent, son." "The Rangers are practically at each others' throats." "So much for peace on Earth." "All right!" "We split up the Power Rangers!" "Now we take over the Earth." "All in good time." "Wait until they see what's next." "I can't believe the Power Rangers were fighting with each other." "I don't like those machines." "No, that makes two of us, buddy." "Meanwhile, Zordon and Alpha realized what had happened." "Ay-yi-yi!" "Everyone's fighting." "We must help the Rangers break the spell, Zordon." "I'm afraid that is not possible." "King Mondo's Bias Blaster has tapped into the most powerful evil known to mankind." "Weapons are useless against this hatred." "You mean, the Rangers must figure this out themselves?" "There is only one way to stop the spread of this evil." "Each Ranger must find within his heart the kindness and understanding that is the key to every human soul." "Oh, you can do it, Rangers." "I should have known this would never have worked out." "I'm just going to take my tamales and get out of here." "Me too." "I don't care" "How any of you-all spend your holidays." "Whatever." "I thought you left." "I am sick of all of this." "I just came to get my things." "Yeah, well, they're right where you left them." "Everything's working out well." "Now it's time to implement part two of my plan." "Part two, dear?" "Ooh." "Quite." "We all know how fond humans are of their petty trinkets and baubles." "I shall confiscate all of their playthings." "That should annihilate their wretched holiday spirit completely." "Exactly what I was thinking, dear." "Well, just get your stuff and get out of here." "KAT:" "Look, would you just be quiet, okay?" "Hey, what's going on?" "What happened?" "Can't you see?" "Looks like everything is gone." "Duh." "Duh" " I think we can see that, Mr. Tommy." "Get over it." "Whee!" "Look at all this loot!" "Now the Power Rangers will have nothing to be merry about." "Boo-hoo-hoo!" "( laughing )" "I guess we won't be celebrating anything." "I guess that's that." "Hi." "Is this where the holiday party is tonight?" "I brang a poster to hang on the wall." "I'm sorry, sweetie." "I think the party's been canceled." "But why?" "Somebody ruined it by taking all of our stuff." "Well, my mommy says the greatest gift is the gift of love." "Yeah, well, you got a lot to learn, kid." "Why are you mad at each other?" "Sometimes people just don't agree on things." "When I get mad, my mommy sings me a song." "You want to hear it?" "Sure." "Got nothing better to do."

"We've still got a lot to celebrate." "Yeah, but what about the gifts?" "The decorations?" "Tanya's stuff?" "My menorah?" "It's all gone." "Raymond, that doesn't matter." "The important thing is, we're all still here." "We should never disrespect anyone else's culture or traditions ever again." "Hey, look, man, I'm really sorry about what I said earlier." "I'm sorry, too, man." "What I was saying was just not cool." "I don't know what got into me." "I think I have an idea but let's forget about it for now." "Shall we hang up this poster?" "Yeah." "Okay, let's do it." "Ready?" "Here we go." "ALL:" "All right." "Hey, you guys, we still have time." "Why don't we see if we can make this banquet happen?" "Okay." "Okay." "All right, let's do it." "No, it just can't be!" "Hmm." "What happened to your Bias Blaster, Klank?" "My readings show that its effects were dispelled by a very strong counter-dose of, uh... of, uh..." "Of what, Klank?" "Stop sputtering and spit it out!" "Well, of love, Your Majesty." "Oh!" "How dare you say that confounded word again?" "!" "Another green thing." "There's another red thing." "A green thing!" "And another red thing there." "A green thing." "There's another red..." "Bulky, I think we found something." "A giant fruitcake." "BULKY:" "That's it, but what kind of warped and twisted mind could create such a hideous grotesque monstrosity?" "BOTH:" "Surprise!" "Merry Christmas!" "RITO:" "It's a giant fruitcake." "What do you think?" "Do you like it?" "Do you like it?" "You made that?" "For us?" "All for you." "The fruitcake was Rito's idea." "I wanted to go with the cheese log" "But, hey, who listens to me?" "It's really... big." "Yes, and full of fruity goodness." "Mmm." "Ahh." "Ah, gee, guys, thanks." "You realize of course that we are going to have to replace the missing fruitcake." "Not to worry, partner." "Hello, Aunt Millie?" "Oh, it's Eugene." "Yeah, listen, I got a small favor to ask you." "Uh-huh." "Wow." "This is great." "Look at all the people that showed up." "This is terrific." "This proves that we can learn from one another despite our different backgrounds." "Where's the Christmas tree?" "Here it is, Ernie." "I wanted to get a real big one." "Beautiful." "Pretty cool, huh?" "What do you guys think?" " Yeah." " Looks great." "Oh, Ernie, we have something we want to contribute." "Oh, a menorah." "Wow." "Raymond, would you show us how to light the candles properly?" "Kat, I'd love to." "Hey, Tanya, hope we got this right." "We went to the library and looked it up." "Thank you, guys." "This is so sweet." "And now, for the most important part of the holidays-- the food" "( all laughing )" "So, you see" "Christmas isn't only about getting things." "It's about giving and being with people you love." "( laughs )" "That's right." "It is." "Very good." "Very good." "You know, you're pretty smart for a little pip-squeak." "That's enough stories for tonight, Tom." "It's getting late." "Oh..." "Well, you heard your grandmother." "BOY:" "Okay." "( doorbell chimes )" "I'll get it." "Hello, dear." "Hey, Grandma." "How you doing?" "I'm here to pick up the pip-squeak." "He's right this way." "Mom and Dad said to say "hi" and thanks for baby-sitting." "Oh, we love to do it." "Okay, little bro, let's go." "( chuckles )" " ( electronic beeps )" " Oh, oh..." "Do you guys think" "you could watch him a little bit longer?" "There's something" " I got to take care of." " Of course." "We wouldn't mind at all." "Thanks." "He's always got something to take care of." "Weah, well, must run in the family." "( Tommy and Katherine chuckle )" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Who made you holiday monitor?" "You know, I couldn't agree better." "More, at all, whatever." " Duh." " Duh." " Duh!" " Duh." "Yes, I'm nervous." "The camera's there." "You figure they'd invent rent... you figure someone would... you figure someone would invent wrapping paper with round edges by now." "Paul didn't like that take." "( gagging )"
