"It began in 1985, in a town just outside Boston." "It was Christmas eve, and all the children were in high spirits." "That special time of year, when Boston children gather together" " and beat up the Jewish kids." " Hey green bob!" "Get him!" "But there was one child who wasn't in such good spirits, little John Bennett." "That one boy in every neighbourhood, who just has a tough time making friends." "Hey guys, can I play?" " Get out of here Benet!" " Get lost Benet!" " Get out of here Benet." " Yeah Benet, get lost." "John longed with all his heart, for that one true friend that he could call his own and he knew that if he ever found that friend, he would ever let him go" "well, as it does every year, Christmas morning finally came all of the children were opening their gifts with holiday glee" "and for little John Benet, Christmas day brought a very special new arrival." "Wow." "I guess Santa played attention to how good you were this year huh... aww, merry Christmas John" ""I love you"" "He talks." "I'm going to name you Teddy." "John became instantly attached to teddy, there was something about that bear that made him feel as if he finally had a friend." "with whom he could share his deepest secrets" ""I love you"" "I love you too teddy you know, I wish you could really talk to me because then we could be best friends forever and ever" "now if there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that nothing is more powerful than a young boys wish except an apache helicopter..." "an apache helicopter has machine guns and missiles it is an unbelievably impressive complement of weaponry." "An absolute death machine" "Well, as it turned out, John had picked a perfect night to make a wish." "Teddy..." "Teddy?" "Teddy?" "Hug me." "You're my best friend John." "Did you... did you just talk... don't look so surprised, you're the one who wished for it aren't you?" "Yeah..." "I did wish for it." "Well, here I am... you mean... we get to be best friends for real?" "for... real." "forever and ever?" "sounds good to me" "John was just about the happiest boy in the world." "And he couldn't wait to tell everyone the good news mom... dad... guess what, my teddy bears alive really... oh isn't that exciting..." "No mom, he's really alive." "Look." "merry Christmas everybody" "Jesus H Fuck..." " lets all be best friends." "Oh my god." "get away from that thing, get over here right now." "but dad..." "Get over here!" " Listen to your father, come here." " Helen, get my gun." "Dad, no!" "Is it a hugging gun?" "Helen, get my gun and call the police" "I'm sorry Mr. Benet, I didn't mean to scare anybody" "I just wanted john and I to be friends yeah dad, I made a wish last night that teddy was alive, and my wish came true" "Oh god." "It's a miracle." "It's a Christmas miracle." "You're just like the baby Jesus." "well it wasn't long before the news of Johns little miracle was sweeping the nation out of a Boston suburb comes, what is without doubt the most incredible story a young boys stuffed animal, has magically come to life for unknown reasons" "LOOK WHAT JESUS DID!" "LOOK WHAT JESUS DID!" "before long, teddy had become a huge celebrity in his own right" "Hello, Teddy." "you surprise me, for some reason I thought you were going to be taller" "I thought you were going to be funnier." "but for all the fame, teddy never forgot his very best friend, John the thunder can't get us, right?" "nope. were thunder buddy's." "and the thunder knows it were totally safe" " Teddy." " Yeah, John?" "do you promise that we'll always be together?" "I promise." "thunder buddy's for life" "and that was a promise that neither one of them forgot so... where are John and teddy today?" "well, let me put it this way no matter how big a splash you make in this world, weather you're a" "Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Bibber... or a talking teddy bear..." "eventually nobody gives a shit." "TED" "Look, all I'm saying is that Boston women are, on the whole, a paler uglier sort than women from the elsewhere's of life." "That's bullshit... what about Lori?" "she's hot." "No Lori's from Pennsylvania that's not a Boston girl there not that bad... see, the fact that you have to say there not that bad, means that they are that bad you ever hear a Boston girl have an orgasm?"

"and if your miserable, and you hate it. then I promise, I will never hint at the subject again please" "Rex, I don't think it's smart" "I'm an asshole, I know that. it worked for me in high school. and it's been a reflex ever since" "Lori, the worst that can happen is you go on a fun casual date, with a guy who just wants to prove that he can be something more than a jerk." "Plus you are a huge catch, and its about time someone treated you that way fuck it, fine sure beats crying myself to sleep every night and if that means getting you off my back, well that's just a bonus" "I'll pick you up at 8." "Hey Johnny, it's me."

"... meat hole, that's not right is it... no pudding hole... is that what they say, no can't be that either right. cos how can you have any pudding, if you don't eat your meat" "pink Floyd thing... the point is, your blaming me, for something that you did to yourself" "Lori was right about you. you cannot take any responsibility for anything that goes on in your life oh and you can?" "I don't have to, I'm a fucking teddy bear you know something..." "I didn't tie you up and drag you to that party alright, I wanted you to come because your supposedly my best friend you can't stand there and tell me you haven't always seen Lori as a threat to our friendship" "I mean it works out so much better for you when we're getting fucked up on the couch at 9A.M doesn't it?" "listen to yourself, what am I, emperor Ming here controlling your mind that's your choice John. and you know by blaming me, you just make yourself look like a pussy you know, sometimes I think back to that Christmas morning, when I was 8 years old" "I wish I'd just gotten a teddy ruxpin say that 1 more time... teddy... rux... fucking... pin" "shit, ou fuck man" "fucking stop" "why you crying?"

"Norah Jones hi - hey there... sweaty you ready to bring down the house?" "yes ma'am. thank you for the opportunity miss... ma'am..." "Jones" "Thank you."

". it was like a rag doll" "I'd rather just not talk about it you want to go get a drink after this?" "I feel like I could use one after seeing a guy almost die uh nope, I think I'd rather just have you take me home one drink come on no, not really feeling up to it alright, I get it" "and you know, I don't blame you" "I mean thing about it, it was actually unfair of him to embarrass you like that just to be clear, I'm not embarrassed so John and I have our problems, but at least he tried" "you know what, I don't feel like talking to you about this where you going?" "taking a cab, I'm going home" "finally" "down here, not looking up your towel, swear to god not looking up your towel, not looking at your funny business ted, what are you doing here?" "I need to talk to you listen if your here to fight Johns battles for him it's not... just let me talk first alright, and then you can say whatever you want" "look, John loves you very much more than anything in the world and he's falling to fucking pieces without you he knows he screwed up huge. but you got to believe me, it wasn't all his fault alright." "I told him to bail on you that night at Rex's and he said no, he was going to stay there with you and I twisted his arm Lori so if you just give him one more chance" "I promise I will leave, and I'll never come back alright... he'll be all yours" "ted, that's a really nice offer." "but I don't want you to do that this is between John and me, and I don't think it can be fixed yeah because of me look look Lori, you want him to be a man but as long as he's got his teddy bear, he's always going to be a boy" "he's waiting down at Charles right now, so if you go down there and just talk to him" "I'll be gone when you get back forever" "and you'll see. hell never be scared of thunder again" "Michelob ultra Tuscan orange grapefruit my god, Americas imploding" "high ted fuck!"

"I mean, why would you" "I've been a really shitty boyfriend for the last 4 years, I don't deserve you look, I know I didn't take our relationship seriously, but Lori" "I do love you more than life itself and I want is..."
