Argh!

0:00:020:00:03

This is now officially the worst Christmas ever!

0:00:080:00:12

Yeah, as disasters go, this is my biggest one yet!

0:00:330:00:38

Let's go back two weeks before I ruined Christmas.

0:01:290:01:33

Don't even think about that until after breakfast.

0:01:330:01:36

Oh, I was just checking there was one there for later.

0:01:360:01:39

Two weeks to go. And he's on the 99th growth percentile.

0:01:390:01:42

Keep up the good work.

0:01:420:01:43

No, no, don't listen to your sister.

0:01:430:01:45

You are a good size.

0:01:450:01:47

Don't get any bigger.

0:01:470:01:49

Studies show babies with larger heads can grow up

0:01:490:01:51

to have higher IQs.

0:01:510:01:53

Please don't be a geek like Emily. Be a normal person, like me.

0:01:530:01:55

Dad, the cradle is now five days behind schedule.

0:01:550:02:00

Mum and Dad let her write a pregnancy timetable

0:02:000:02:02

to help them keep on track. Boy, are they regretting that decision!

0:02:020:02:05

I will do it today.

0:02:050:02:07

Maybe we should have penalty points for not sticking to the timetable.

0:02:070:02:10

Excellent idea. We can start with ten points off you

0:02:100:02:13

for crossing out your visit to the maternity ward tomorrow.

0:02:130:02:15

Oh, not so cocky now, are we?

0:02:150:02:17

I told you, I'm having a home birth.

0:02:170:02:19

But what if there's a complication?

0:02:190:02:21

Hospitals have machines and doctors,

0:02:210:02:23

and at your age, you might need them.

0:02:230:02:25

-My age?!

-Red alert.

-Take cover!

0:02:250:02:27

Hospitals are sterilised, safe environments

0:02:300:02:33

-where less can go wrong.

-Oh, really?

0:02:330:02:35

It's a baby boy.

0:02:370:02:39

We're calling him Hank.

0:02:390:02:40

BABY GURGLES

0:02:400:02:41

They let me off cos I was a baby.

0:02:500:02:52

Next time, they weren't quite so understanding.

0:02:520:02:55

Hank, come and say hello to your little baby sister, Emily.

0:02:550:02:58

Hank?

0:02:580:02:59

Wheee!

0:02:590:03:02

CRASH!

0:03:030:03:05

MONITOR BEEPS

0:03:060:03:08

No hospitals. I want less equipment around.

0:03:110:03:14

Right, um...

0:03:140:03:17

Where are the gherkins? I need... I need some gherkins.

0:03:170:03:20

Here you go, my love.

0:03:210:03:23

-Don't panic.

-Yeah.

0:03:230:03:24

There.

0:03:250:03:26

Mum gets these weird cravings. Mangoes, mushy peas, fish skin.

0:03:260:03:31

Right now, it's gherkins. Can't get enough of them!

0:03:310:03:34

She loves the mini ones from Papa Pete's deli.

0:03:340:03:36

Nothing but the best for my angel!

0:03:360:03:39

-HE SINGS ALONG TO VIDEO:

-# In my stocking

0:03:410:03:43

# Made my list

0:03:430:03:44

# Hoping Santa hears my wish... #

0:03:440:03:47

-Who's he into now?

-Hayden Chase.

0:03:470:03:50

She's basically a hairspray that can sing.

0:03:500:03:52

# The one I love

0:03:520:03:55

# All I need to make it right

0:03:550:03:57

# Is to see your face tonight

0:03:570:04:01

# Fire's warm but I feel cold

0:04:010:04:04

# Without you here to hold

0:04:040:04:08

# Won't you grant my wish tonight

0:04:080:04:11

# And come on home this Christmas time? #

0:04:110:04:16

She's shooting a video in London.

0:04:160:04:17

Maybe she'll hire me as a backing dancer.

0:04:170:04:19

Ow! Sorry.

0:04:220:04:24

Rudolph, The Rock 'N' Roll Reindeer. Great title, Mr Rock.

0:04:310:04:34

Thank you. You got to have a great title

0:04:340:04:36

if you're going to have a great musical.

0:04:360:04:37

Did you ever hear Earwax, The Musical?

0:04:370:04:39

Did you ever hear Toe Hair, The Musical?

0:04:390:04:41

-No.

-That's right.

0:04:410:04:42

That's why the three of you have to be at auditions.

0:04:420:04:45

-Yes, sir!

-All right. You're going to be fantastic, all three.

0:04:450:04:48

-Even me?

-Especially you. Get out of here, get to class!

0:04:480:04:51

I love school at Christmas.

0:04:550:04:57

No proper lessons, loads of messing about. It's brilliant!

0:04:570:04:59

Urgh.

0:05:000:05:03

What on earth do you think you are doing?!

0:05:030:05:07

I know that you're not a fan of my work,

0:05:080:05:11

but I think even you will be up on your cloven hooves

0:05:110:05:14

and dance to this one.

0:05:140:05:16

I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about that!

0:05:160:05:19

Oh, isn't that great?

0:05:190:05:21

Feel the energy.

0:05:210:05:22

It's like when we opened for the Beatles at Chase Stadium.

0:05:220:05:25

Rock 'n' roll, Miss A.

0:05:250:05:26

How you ever became a teacher is a mystery to me.

0:05:260:05:29

-You know what? To me, too.

-Mm.

0:05:290:05:31

Ah...

0:05:310:05:32

SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:05:370:05:39

I've got the perfect part for you in this musical.

0:05:400:05:43

Yeah, Grizilla, the evil snow witch. Everything you look at turns to ice.

0:05:430:05:48

See what I mean? You're perfect.

0:05:480:05:51

-Stop everything!

-Headmaster?

0:05:510:05:53

I've just been informed.

0:05:530:05:55

-We're having a surprise school inspection!

-Oh...

0:05:550:05:57

They're due within an hour.

0:05:570:05:59

OK, just stay calm. Stay calm! Stay calm!

0:05:590:06:02

Oh, this really is most tiresome. We've only just had an inspection!

0:06:020:06:06

That was before the incident with the runaway lawnmower.

0:06:060:06:10

And the exploding custard!

0:06:100:06:11

-Awkward.

-You know what? They're not coming.

0:06:110:06:13

They can't come. It's Christmas!

0:06:130:06:15

Christmas is cancelled!

0:06:150:06:19

I must be having a nightmare.

0:06:190:06:20

Oh!

0:06:280:06:30

(Sorry, sorry.)

0:06:300:06:31

Seriously?

0:06:310:06:32

-Shh.

-Oh!

0:06:320:06:34

I'm here to help you with the cradle.

0:06:370:06:40

-Well, how did you know it collapsed?

-Call it a lucky guess.

0:06:400:06:43

Yeah, well, I'm doing this alone.

0:06:430:06:44

It's a father-son thing, you understand.

0:06:440:06:46

Of course. I hand-carved Rosa's cradle

0:06:460:06:49

from a solid block of Sicilian oak.

0:06:490:06:52

It took me six months

0:06:520:06:54

and 77 blisters.

0:06:540:06:56

Oh, I loved that cradle!

0:06:560:06:58

You're the best, Daddy.

0:06:580:07:01

Well, here we go, son. One hand-assembled cradle

0:07:010:07:04

coming right up.

0:07:040:07:05

"Go, Dancer. Go, Prancer. Go, Dasher. Go, Vixen.

0:07:140:07:19

"Go, Comet. Go, Cupid. Go, Donner..."

0:07:190:07:22

What are you doing?

0:07:220:07:23

Mr Joy has cancelled your alleged musical.

0:07:230:07:27

He didn't do that? I work all year for this.

0:07:270:07:31

The auditions are today.

0:07:310:07:33

-Not any more.

-Well, I'm going to go talk to him.

0:07:330:07:35

Well, you can't. He's preparing for the school inspection,

0:07:350:07:38

as should you be.

0:07:380:07:39

We don't want one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.

0:07:390:07:44

Well, let me tell you,

0:07:440:07:45

this apple doesn't care what the inspectors think.

0:07:450:07:47

I only care that the little apples have a great Christmas.

0:07:470:07:50

Well, what all the other little app...

0:07:500:07:52

..pupils need is a first-rate education,

0:07:540:07:57

not a second-rate Santa.

0:07:570:07:59

Did you just say that to me?

0:07:590:08:01

Yes, I did.

0:08:020:08:04

SHE HUMS

0:08:060:08:08

Camilla Stevens, head inspector.

0:08:110:08:13

-CRUNCH!

-What a lovely building.

0:08:130:08:15

Building. Jonathan Lao, trainee. This is my first inspection.

0:08:150:08:18

Welcome to Westbrook.

0:08:180:08:20

What a pleasure having you here!

0:08:200:08:23

When I heard I was having a surprise inspection,

0:08:230:08:25

I was like, "Yes! I love inspections!

0:08:250:08:28

"Love them, love them, love them!"

0:08:280:08:29

It was like Christmas had come early! Thank you, Santa!

0:08:290:08:32

When you come down the chimney, I'm going to leave you something!

0:08:320:08:35

-Oh, that makes a change.

-Change.

0:08:350:08:38

Shall we begin?

0:08:380:08:39

Oh...

0:08:450:08:47

Now, can anyone tell me how to separate substances in a mixture?

0:08:500:08:54

What if they're friends? What if they don't want to be separated?

0:08:550:08:58

Miss, can't we do something more Christmassy than chemistry?

0:08:580:09:02

Ooh. We could do a Secret Santa!

0:09:020:09:04

We could all get surprise gifts.

0:09:040:09:06

Awesome! Now you're talking!

0:09:060:09:09

Christmas starts on December 25th and not a day sooner.

0:09:090:09:13

Hm?

0:09:130:09:15

The different methods are...

0:09:150:09:16

..filtration, evaporation, distillation, chromatography.

0:09:180:09:22

Nick McKelty, a grade-A student.

0:09:220:09:24

A grade-A pain.

0:09:240:09:25

Now, this experiment might go slightly...

0:09:250:09:28

-WHEE!

-..but it's always worth a try.

0:09:280:09:30

CRASH! BUBBLING

0:09:300:09:32

No! No, no, no!

0:09:320:09:33

Part of me knows it's going to be really bad,

0:09:330:09:36

but part of me really wants it to happen.

0:09:360:09:38

Argh!

0:09:380:09:40

Argh! Ooh!

0:09:400:09:42

Argh! Argh! Argh!

0:09:420:09:45

LAUGHTER

0:09:450:09:48

Here at Westbrook,

0:09:480:09:49

we pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere of calm and serenity.

0:09:490:09:55

Henry Zipzer!

0:09:580:10:00

Come back here!

0:10:000:10:03

Argh!

0:10:030:10:04

-You were saying?

-Saying?

-Is there an echo in here?

0:10:070:10:11

I swear there's an echo.

0:10:110:10:13

All right, what did you do this time?

0:10:170:10:20

I threw a paper ball at Miss Adolf.

0:10:200:10:22

-Good one.

-You?

0:10:220:10:24

Apparently, I'm supposed to have something called a lesson plan.

0:10:240:10:27

I mean, who knew? How do you plan music?

0:10:270:10:29

-You can't.

-See, that's what I think.

0:10:290:10:31

I thought you just kind of grab the guitar,

0:10:310:10:32

turn up the volume and let the reindeers rock.

0:10:320:10:35

LOUD, DISCORDANT PLAYING

0:10:350:10:38

But the music was so loud that the whiteboard shattered off the wall.

0:10:500:10:53

-Sounds awesome!

-Yeah, except Mr Joy thought it sounded like an orchestra

0:10:530:10:57

trapped inside a tumble dryer.

0:10:570:10:59

Zipzer!

0:10:590:11:00

OK, listen.

0:11:000:11:02

His bark is worse than his bite.

0:11:020:11:04

But then they said that about my grandmother's dog,

0:11:040:11:07

and he ate the mailman.

0:11:070:11:09

Go get 'em.

0:11:090:11:11

You covered Miss Adolf in green gunge.

0:11:230:11:26

It was more a sort of turquoise.

0:11:260:11:28

It's not funny, Hank. Mr Joy says this is your final warning.

0:11:280:11:31

One more incident and you can get suspended.

0:11:310:11:33

Hank, you've got to stop getting into trouble.

0:11:330:11:36

-It was an accident.

-It's always an accident, isn't it?

0:11:360:11:40

You need to grow up, Hank.

0:11:400:11:41

We've only got room for one baby in this flat.

0:11:410:11:44

CLATTERING

0:11:440:11:46

Emily, what are you doing?

0:11:460:11:49

I said I'd get the tree!

0:11:490:11:51

When I've finished building the cradle.

0:11:510:11:54

Yeah. I thought it'd be nice to have one before Easter.

0:11:540:11:56

Emily, you don't need to be cheeky. Your father's doing his best.

0:11:560:11:59

Oh, thank you for the vote of confidence(!)

0:11:590:12:01

-So, who wants to help me decorate it?

-Me.

0:12:010:12:04

Remember what happened last time you decorated the tree.

0:12:040:12:07

Sorry.

0:12:190:12:21

It was an acci...dent.

0:12:210:12:23

OK, well, we can all decorate the tree.

0:12:230:12:25

Come on, everybody. Grab a bauble.

0:12:250:12:28

Best not. I'll only break it.

0:12:280:12:30

That's odd. My head feels breezy.

0:12:450:12:47

Oh, that's not good!

0:12:510:12:52

TEACHER'S VOICE ECHOES

0:12:590:13:01

LAUGHTER

0:13:040:13:05

-CHANTING:

-No brain! No brain! No brain! He's got no brain!

0:13:050:13:08

As I always suspected, Zipzer.

0:13:080:13:11

You're brainless!

0:13:110:13:12

SHE CACKLES

0:13:120:13:14

Don't let me ever go back to sleep!

0:13:180:13:20

I don't understand how they make these things so difficult

0:13:240:13:27

to put together. It's...

0:13:270:13:29

They look simple, the instructions.

0:13:290:13:31

Why don't you just ask Dad to help and be done with it?

0:13:310:13:34

What, be reminded of my failure

0:13:340:13:35

every time I put this little guy down to sleep?

0:13:350:13:38

-Did he kick?

-Yeah.

0:13:380:13:40

-Play for Liverpool.

-Arsenal.

0:13:400:13:43

Huh...

0:13:430:13:44

Dad always wanted me to play football, but I was never any good.

0:13:470:13:50

You sure about having a home birth?

0:13:500:13:52

Wouldn't you feel more comfortable in hospital?

0:13:520:13:54

I didn't feel comfortable with Hank concussing two nurses.

0:13:540:13:58

-Hm.

-No, this time everything's going to be perfect.

0:13:580:14:01

Nothing is going to go wrong.

0:14:010:14:03

I can't wait to meet him.

0:14:040:14:06

Me, too.

0:14:060:14:08

I've got a good feeling about this one.

0:14:090:14:11

I think he's going to be a genius.

0:14:110:14:12

Maybe he could help me put this cradle together.

0:14:130:14:15

He's going to do something amazing.

0:14:150:14:18

Just you wait and see.

0:14:180:14:19

What they really mean is,

0:14:260:14:28

they hope he doesn't turn out like me.

0:14:280:14:30

Hayden Chase has gone number one in the download chart!

0:14:460:14:48

Ugh. She's spreading like a virus. I have to find a cure.

0:14:480:14:52

Have you seen the inspectors?

0:14:580:15:00

They were heading for Mr Rock's classroom.

0:15:000:15:02

-And one can only hope they brought protective headgear.

-Ooh!

0:15:020:15:05

# Just once I want to hear Santa say...

0:15:070:15:10

# Go, Rudolph

0:15:100:15:12

# Tonight you can guide the sleigh! #

0:15:120:15:15

And then the other reindeers get lost

0:15:180:15:19

and Rudolph has to save the day.

0:15:190:15:21

-This sounds wonderful!

-Wonderful.

0:15:210:15:22

You know, the beauty of music lies in the ear of the beholder,

0:15:220:15:26

and you two have exquisite ears!

0:15:260:15:29

Oh, this is exactly the sort of imaginative approach

0:15:290:15:31

-that we're looking for. I can't wait to see it!

-See it.

0:15:310:15:33

You know, neither can I.

0:15:330:15:35

But the musical has been cancelled.

0:15:350:15:37

Can...? Cancelled?

0:15:370:15:39

Mr Rock's musical is a highlight of the year.

0:15:390:15:43

Oh. Staff and pupils absolutely love it.

0:15:430:15:46

It's something that would never be cancelled, ever!

0:15:460:15:49

Must have been an admin error or something.

0:15:490:15:51

You know how wonderful this man is?

0:15:510:15:53

He said, "You all get more money for costumes this year!"

0:15:530:15:57

-I did?

-You did.

-I did! I did.

-Oh.

0:15:570:16:00

And then he went on and said, "A new lighting rig!"

0:16:000:16:03

-How generous is that!

-That was unexpected.

0:16:030:16:06

But if that's what it takes to get the show on the road,

0:16:060:16:08

then we must do it!

0:16:080:16:09

Oh, my goodness, and then this headmaster of headmasters, he said,

0:16:090:16:14

"The entire orchestra gets a new instrument

0:16:140:16:18

-"and a confetti cannon for the finale!"

-I just get carried away!

0:16:180:16:23

It's great to see a headmaster supporting the creative arts.

0:16:230:16:26

And this show is the perfect opportunity

0:16:260:16:27

-to see what Westbrook can do.

-Brook can do.

0:16:270:16:29

With all this new equipment,

0:16:290:16:31

this better be the greatest Christmas musical

0:16:310:16:34

the world has ever seen!

0:16:340:16:35

Rock on!

0:16:350:16:38

Oh.

0:16:380:16:39

-Rock on!

-'K on!

0:16:390:16:40

Hey, look. The show's back on.

0:16:420:16:44

Awesome!

0:16:440:16:46

I think I'm going to give the auditions a miss.

0:16:460:16:48

Come on, Hankster. You're amazing on stage - you have to audition.

0:16:480:16:51

Roll up, folks! Come and see the greatest show on earth!

0:16:510:16:54

Rudolph, The Rock 'N' Roll Reindeer!

0:16:540:16:56

Starring the one, the only Hank Zipzer!

0:16:560:16:58

Yeah, maybe.

0:16:580:16:59

Yeah. You're totally right!

0:17:010:17:03

This could be my chance to make Mum and Dad proud of me.

0:17:030:17:06

Another day, and still no cradle. I'll just make a note of that.

0:17:090:17:12

# Go, Dancer. Go, Prancer. Go, Dasher!

0:17:120:17:15

# Go, Vixen! Go, Comet!

0:17:150:17:16

# Go, Cupid. Go, Donner. Go, Blitzen! #

0:17:160:17:19

I can't wait for these auditions!

0:17:190:17:21

Has anyone seen my gherkins?

0:17:210:17:22

By the sink. Enough nonsense about the cradle.

0:17:220:17:25

Where are we going to put the birthing pool?

0:17:250:17:28

-We're out of gherkins.

-It's the vitamin K your body's craving.

0:17:280:17:31

-Have some broccoli instead.

-I don't want broccoli, I want gherkins!

0:17:310:17:35

No-one make any sudden movements.

0:17:350:17:38

I can trot to the deli and get you a jar.

0:17:380:17:41

-Reindeers do trot, right?

-If you would do that,

0:17:410:17:43

you would officially be my favourite child.

0:17:430:17:46

I can report you for saying that.

0:17:460:17:48

Go straight to the deli.

0:17:490:17:51

No dawdling, no stopping to... to look at amusing pigeons.

0:17:510:17:55

This is an emergency. Run like the wind!

0:17:550:17:58

They're only gherkins, Dad. I can do this!

0:17:580:18:00

I'm not completely useless.

0:18:000:18:02

That was Rudolph, not me.

0:18:050:18:08

-Hold it!

-Sorry, son. You'll have to wait.

-Please, it's an emergency!

0:18:200:18:24

My mum needs gherkins.

0:18:240:18:25

That's not an emergency.

0:18:250:18:27

You haven't seen her in a gherkin rage.

0:18:270:18:29

What are they doing, anyway?

0:18:290:18:31

# Don't want to be a flower girl

0:18:370:18:39

# A pretty thing for you to twirl

0:18:390:18:41

# Summer's gone, you'll dump me fast

0:18:410:18:43

# I want a love that's gonna last all year

0:18:430:18:48

# Ooh, yeah

0:18:480:18:49

# Do you love me?

0:18:490:18:50

# Ooh, yeah

0:18:500:18:51

# Love me not?

0:18:510:18:53

# Ooh, yeah... #

0:18:530:18:54

Cut! Please, Miss Harris.

0:18:540:18:57

All these interruptions are making it really very difficult to...

0:18:570:19:00

Not that it's a problem, of course.

0:19:010:19:03

Good. Cos if it was, we'd be looking for a new director.

0:19:030:19:07

Can I just do this in a coat?

0:19:100:19:12

And cover up that knockout dress, Hayden, honey?

0:19:120:19:15

You can't sell this song without a bit of sizzle, sugar.

0:19:150:19:18

And you are looking smokin' hot, girl!

0:19:180:19:21

Then why do I have goose bumps?

0:19:210:19:23

Because you're excited about being in London?

0:19:230:19:26

Oh, come on. Couple more weeks, we'll be in Tokyo.

0:19:260:19:28

They say it's beautiful at Christmas.

0:19:280:19:30

Nothing is the same as Christmas at home.

0:19:300:19:33

And I always spend it with my mom and dad.

0:19:330:19:35

It's all right, darlin'. Sometimes you want the rainbow,

0:19:350:19:37

you got to put up with the rain.

0:19:370:19:39

-My eyes!

-This stuff will really make 'em pop.

0:19:400:19:43

Ahem!

0:19:430:19:44

Not to rush you, but...

0:19:460:19:48

The flowers, they're starting to wilt.

0:19:480:19:51

And they're not the only ones.

0:19:510:19:53

You want to see your folks?

0:19:530:19:56

They're right down that lens.

0:19:560:19:58

Now, you make 'em proud of their little girl.

0:19:580:20:01

Hmm?

0:20:010:20:02

OK. All right, well, one from the top.

0:20:040:20:07

And action.

-BELL RINGS

0:20:430:20:46

Are you people incapable of doing anything right?!

0:20:460:20:49

Do you know how much this girl is worth?

0:20:490:20:51

Are you OK, honey? Security!

0:20:510:20:55

-That's lunch!

-Uh-uh. No way!

0:21:030:21:06

We've got to keep shooting. We've got places to go and people to see!

0:21:060:21:10

-I don't mind if we break for lunch.

-I mind. Time is money, honey.

0:21:100:21:15

And I'm not going to let this bunch of clowns ruin my rodeo.

0:21:150:21:18

You're fired! Don't you walk away from me now. You're fired!

0:21:190:21:23

Look at you! You are fired!

0:21:230:21:25

Fired! Fired! Fired!

0:21:250:21:28

You, you're definitely fired!

0:21:280:21:31

Come on! Who wants some? Who wants some?

0:21:310:21:33

You're fired. You, look at you! You're fired.

0:21:330:21:35

That's Hayden Chase. Frank is going to be so jealous!

0:21:350:21:38

Whoa, you're...

0:21:400:21:42

I know who you are. Do you know who you are?

0:21:440:21:47

I mean, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I messed up your video.

0:21:470:21:49

No, it's fine. You got me a lunch break.

0:21:490:21:52

I owe you, big time.

0:21:520:21:53

-Who is that?

-Tammy Harris, my manager.

0:21:550:21:58

Is she always that angry?

0:21:580:21:59

She's just...kind of protective.

0:21:590:22:01

Well, it can't have just disappeared like a catfish up a creek!

0:22:020:22:05

You! You're unfired. Find him!

0:22:050:22:08

I should probably give myself up.

0:22:080:22:10

No, trust me. You do not want to do that. Follow me.

0:22:100:22:13

What about in there?

0:22:190:22:21

I hate my hair like this!

0:22:210:22:24

Looks good to me, but I'm probably the wrong person to ask.

0:22:240:22:27

I like your hair. Maybe that should be my new look.

0:22:270:22:30

It's easy to do. You just wake up in the morning

0:22:300:22:32

-and you're good to go.

-Bed hair.

0:22:320:22:34

I love it!

0:22:360:22:37

Stop! Stop! He'll be halfway to Hawaii by now.

0:22:370:22:41

Come on! Back to work!

0:22:410:22:42

Or you'll get my rhinestone boot up your behinds!

PHONE RINGS

0:22:450:22:47

Oh, hello there, Mr Takahashi.

0:22:480:22:51

Oh, really? Oh, well. I mean, what is the weather like over there?

0:22:510:22:55

OK, I think you can relax now.

0:22:550:22:57

Can I take one of these for a friend? He's a huge fan.

0:23:020:23:05

Oh, would this friend happen to be yay high with cute, messy hair?

0:23:050:23:07

-No, Frankie's hair is always perfect. He spends hours on it.

-Oh.

0:23:070:23:11

I just thought... Never mind, doesn't matter.

0:23:110:23:14

Yeah, I'll write him a message.

0:23:140:23:16

So, you don't like my music?

0:23:160:23:18

No. No, I mean, I mean yes.

0:23:180:23:20

Yes, I like it. I... I love it.

0:23:200:23:22

Um...

0:23:220:23:24

It's good, it's so...

0:23:240:23:26

musical.

0:23:260:23:28

Right. So what's your favourite song off my new album?

0:23:280:23:31

-The... The new album?

-Yeah.

-I, uh...

0:23:320:23:34

Well...

0:23:340:23:36

You know, it's so hard to pick a favourite

0:23:360:23:38

when they're all so amazing.

0:23:380:23:40

Ah.

0:23:400:23:42

I promise I'll download it as soon as I get home.

0:23:420:23:44

It's OK. Save your money. I'll give you a free download link.

0:23:440:23:47

-If you don't like it you can delete it.

-Thanks.

0:23:470:23:50

All right. And call me and let you know what you think,

0:23:500:23:52

cos I could really do with some honest feedback.

0:23:520:23:55

HE LAUGHS

0:23:580:23:59

Tickles!

0:23:590:24:00

Oh, you flatter me, Mr Takahashi!

0:24:000:24:04

Sayonara, y'all.

0:24:060:24:10

Guess who sold out in Tokyo? You are on a roll, girl!

0:24:100:24:12

I am never washing this hand again!

0:24:170:24:18

Gherkins!

0:24:200:24:21

-Where are all the gherkins?

-Sorry, Hank. Just sold out.

0:24:280:24:32

No! I knew I should have got here sooner.

0:24:320:24:34

-Mum's going to kill me!

-Then you'd better come up with a good excuse.

0:24:340:24:36

I bumped into a megastar - Hayden Chase.

0:24:360:24:39

Not bad, but the name needs some work.

0:24:390:24:41

-She's real.

-Of course she is(!)

0:24:410:24:43

Wait, I know how to get Mum some gherkins.

0:24:460:24:48

Papa Pete, where do you keep the vinegar?

0:24:480:24:49

You made these?

0:24:520:24:54

Yeah, step away from the jar, Rosa. They don't even look like gherkins.

0:24:540:24:58

I can't. I'm going in.

0:24:580:24:59

I couldn't find any gherkins. They only had chillies.

0:24:590:25:02

Mm, delicious.

0:25:020:25:04

-Oh!

-Oh, I'll get you some water.

0:25:040:25:07

I told you not to dawdle!

0:25:070:25:08

I didn't. I bumped into Hayden Chase.

0:25:080:25:10

First rule of lying - at least make it slightly believable.

0:25:100:25:13

I'm not lying! Look, she gave me her num...ber.

0:25:130:25:16

And she gave me a signed photo for Frankie.

0:25:170:25:20

Oh, you really did meet her!

0:25:200:25:23

"Merry Crismus, Frankie."

0:25:230:25:25

There's only one person I know who spells Christmas C-R-I-S-M-U-S.

0:25:250:25:30

-That's weird.

-Mm. Yeah, you bought the photo and signed it yourself

0:25:300:25:33

to get out of trouble.

0:25:330:25:34

Second rule of lying - don't get caught red-handed.

0:25:340:25:37

They didn't believe me.

0:25:400:25:42

Nice try, Hank, but I'm not falling for it either.

0:25:420:25:44

Hayden Chase doesn't have dyslexia.

0:25:440:25:45

If she did, it would be in her autobiography.

0:25:450:25:47

She's written her life story? She's only 16.

0:25:470:25:50

Chasing Rainbows. I have it in hardback and paperback.

0:25:500:25:53

-You guys should read them.

-I'd rather wax my eyeballs.

0:25:530:25:55

Well, maybe she just doesn't like talking about her dyslexia.

0:25:550:25:58

It's not exactly something you brag about.

0:25:580:25:59

You can keep on selling, but I'm not buying.

0:25:590:26:01

Come on, we don't want to be late for the Christmas audition.

0:26:010:26:04

Why will no-one believe me?

0:26:040:26:05

Get your rear in gear, girl.

0:26:130:26:14

The day don't wait for no-one, darlin'.

0:26:140:26:16

Hey, Bob!

0:26:200:26:21

Can you help me with something?

0:26:230:26:24

All right, sweetie pie. Just try a little louder.

0:26:270:26:30

This will be the biggest disaster since Henry Zipzer

0:26:350:26:38

was allowed in the school talent show.

0:26:380:26:40

Being able to fart the national anthem is not a talent!

0:26:400:26:44

Do you really want to give the inspectors front-row seats

0:26:450:26:48

-to a Christmas catastrophe?

-I had no choice. They want to see it!

0:26:480:26:52

Maybe it'll only be a bit of a disaster.

0:26:520:26:54

Have you been eating tinsel?

0:26:540:26:55

-Shh.

-This is Mr Rock we're talking about!

You know what, that's really difficult because this is a musical.

0:30:300:30:32

You know what I need? I need some organisation - that's all.

0:30:320:30:36

Wow, look at those spreadsheets!

0:30:360:30:38

They are so organised.

0:30:380:30:40

-How would you like...

-No, not doing it.

0:30:400:30:42

Well, of course, you would get extra marks on your school report.

0:30:420:30:45

I'll take the job. Silence!

0:30:450:30:47

Are you two related?

0:30:470:30:49

Can I see the production timetable?

0:30:490:30:50

-LAUGHING:

-Can you see the timetable?

0:30:500:30:53

The timetable! Of course you can.

0:30:530:30:55

As soon as you write them, you can see them.

0:30:550:30:58

You know...

0:30:580:31:00

What an apple.

0:31:000:31:01

OK, here we go, kids. From the top!

0:31:010:31:03

The label want new promo shots for Tokyo.

0:31:090:31:12

Picking you up in ten minutes. Want to see you in this.

0:31:120:31:15

Do we have to do this right now?

0:31:160:31:17

Don't you give me the diva, darling.

0:31:170:31:20

You want the folks at the label thinking you won't play ball?

0:31:200:31:22

Oh, come on. Put it on. You'll look real cute.

Brad. How are we looking for Australia?

0:31:270:31:30

No, I want Sydney Opera House!

0:31:300:31:33

You know we can sell it.

0:31:330:31:35

-This won't get me in trouble, now, will it?

-I won't tell if you don't.

Rudolph's the name, pulling sleigh's the game.

0:32:400:32:42

Sorry! Wrong number.

0:32:420:32:44

-'Hayden?'

-Hank? Is that you?

0:32:450:32:48

Yeah! I was just...pretending to be a reindeer.

0:32:480:32:52

-Wow, I can't believe it's you.

-'You never called.'

0:32:520:32:55

-Did you hate the album that much?

-'I loved it.'

0:32:550:32:57

It's just I lost your number in a gherkin-related incident.

0:32:570:33:01

OK! I guess you're forgiven.

0:33:010:33:03

-TAMMY:

-Hayden, get out here! We've got work to do.

0:33:030:33:07

Sorry, I've got to go, Hank. Tammy's hollering.

0:33:070:33:10

Time to be her dress-up doll again.

0:33:100:33:11

-Can't you get out of it? Do something fun instead?

-I wish!

0:33:110:33:15

Say that you've had an idea for a hit song that you need to work on.

0:33:150:33:17

Then sneak out when she's not looking.

0:33:170:33:19

That could actually work.

0:33:190:33:21

Hank, you're a genius!

0:33:210:33:23

People don't often call me that.

0:33:230:33:24

If I do escape, I'll need someone to hang out with.

0:33:240:33:27

So...are you free tonight?

0:33:270:33:30

Hello? Are you still there?

0:33:320:33:35

Yeah! Yeah, I was just checking, um, my calendar.

0:33:350:33:38

I think I might have a window free.

0:33:380:33:40

Great! OK, I'll text you where to meet.

0:33:400:33:42

See you later, Rudolph.

0:33:420:33:44

Yes, yes, yes, yes! It is, it is, yes!

0:33:440:33:47

No.

0:33:470:33:48

You've skated before, right?

0:33:550:33:56

No, but how hard can it be?

0:33:560:33:58

Whoa...

0:34:020:34:03

I don't have to do that with my arm -

0:34:060:34:09

-I just think it looks cool.

-Ah...

0:34:090:34:11

-Oh!

-Don't worry, I've got you.

0:34:110:34:13

I'm going to have a fun time tonight,

0:34:130:34:15

and I'm not going to let anything ruin it.

0:34:150:34:17

How's it going in there, hun?

0:34:240:34:25

Sugar, you in there?

0:34:270:34:29

Stop being so terrified! It's supposed to be fun.

0:34:300:34:33

Have you seen how sharp these skates are?

0:34:330:34:35

All right, look, whenever I get nervous before I go on stage,

0:34:350:34:38

I just imagine I'm...somewhere else.

0:34:380:34:40

Like, making pancakes with my mum.

0:34:400:34:42

It relaxes me. You should try it sometime.

0:34:420:34:44

The last time I made pancakes with my mum,

0:34:440:34:45

I set off every smoke alarm for about a mile.

0:34:450:34:48

-You don't like your family?

-I love my family, it's just...

0:34:480:34:50

..my sister wants me to be put in a lab and tested,

0:34:520:34:54

my dad wishes I could score the winning goal at the World Cup,

0:34:540:34:57

my mum still basically thinks I'm a work in progress.

0:34:570:35:00

I'm kind of a disappointment.

0:35:000:35:02

I'm sure they love you really.

0:35:020:35:04

This Christmas they're replacing me with another boy.

0:35:040:35:06

-No way!

-Yeah. My mum's due any day now.

0:35:060:35:09

My baby brother's all they can talk about.

0:35:090:35:11

-OK, I thought you were being serious.

-I am!

0:35:110:35:14

I bet you they call him Hank 2.0, new and improved.

0:35:140:35:18

OK, then forget about your home

0:35:180:35:19

and think about somewhere else that makes you happy.

PAPA PETE CHUCKLES

0:35:310:35:33

Where'd you go?

0:35:350:35:36

The Spicy Salami, the family deli, with my grandad.

0:35:360:35:39

-It's my favourite place.

-Well, it worked - you're skating!

0:35:390:35:42

That's amazing! How did you do that?

0:35:430:35:45

HE LAUGHS

0:35:480:35:50

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

0:35:560:35:58

Whoa!

0:35:590:36:01

Hayden! I'm so, so sorry.

0:36:040:36:07

Are you OK? Please be OK.

0:36:070:36:08

SHE LAUGHS

0:36:120:36:14

Skating is SO not your thing!

0:36:160:36:19

"Oh, help me! I'm Hank!"

0:36:190:36:21

And I was really starting to like you.

0:36:210:36:24

Hey! It's Hayden Chase!

Well, it's all part of the job, I guess.

0:36:430:36:45

It was like one of those wildlife shows

0:36:450:36:47

where the hyena jumps on the cute gazelle.

0:36:470:36:49

Are you calling me cute?

0:36:490:36:51

-HE LAUGHS

-I'll take that as a yes.

0:36:520:36:54

Did you see that? Please tell me you saw that!

HAYDEN GASPS

0:37:170:37:19

Did I ever tell you I grew up on a ranch?

0:37:240:37:26

My daddy gave me a pony for my tenth birthday.

0:37:270:37:30

Her coat was so white, I called her Snowflake.

0:37:320:37:35

I loved her so much,

0:37:360:37:38

some nights I used to sneak down and sleep in the stable with her.

0:37:380:37:42

Then one night, out of the blue,

0:37:440:37:48

she bit my hand.

0:37:480:37:50

She near took my finger off.

0:37:500:37:52

My daddy said she'd gone bad,

0:37:540:37:57

that we had to send her to that big ranch in the sky.

0:37:570:37:59

I begged him not to do it.

0:38:010:38:03

But in the end, like he said,

0:38:040:38:07

when they turn on you, you've got to show them who's boss.

0:38:070:38:10

Don't you ever bite me again.

0:38:130:38:17

Do I make myself clear?

0:38:170:38:19

Now, give me your phone.

0:38:210:38:22

We don't want you running off with that boy.

0:38:230:38:26

Zipzer, was it?

0:38:260:38:28

Guard this door, don't let her leave.

0:38:280:38:30

Look, there's my arm. See, I WAS with Hayden.

0:38:440:38:48

That could be anyone's arm.

0:38:480:38:49

You are losing it, seriously.

0:38:490:38:51

OK, first positions, everyone!

0:38:510:38:54

You'll never be able to pull the sleigh on your own, Zipzer.

0:38:570:39:00

You're too weak.

0:39:000:39:01

OK! One house down, two billion to go!

0:39:010:39:04

Rudy! Can you pull the sleigh by yourself?

0:39:040:39:08

All aboard, Santa.

0:39:080:39:09

We've got plenty of presents to deliver all across the world.

0:39:090:39:12

Let's go!

0:39:120:39:13

I'm in!

0:39:150:39:16

Whoa! Argh!

0:39:200:39:22

HE LAUGHS

0:39:220:39:24

Whoa!

0:39:270:39:30

So sorry!

0:39:300:39:31

Oh!

0:39:330:39:34

Ho ho! Ho ho!

0:39:350:39:36

And if you have any questions, my door is always open.

0:39:370:39:40

Ho!

0:39:460:39:47

It gives me no pleasure to tell you I told you so.

0:39:490:39:52

Who am I kidding? I've never been happier.

0:39:520:39:55

SHE WHIMPERS

0:39:550:39:58

Now, will you call an ambulance, or shall I?

0:39:580:40:02

Ho...!

0:40:020:40:03

-FROM OUTSIDE:

-How dare you! Despicable! Everything about you!

0:40:030:40:07

-He fired me. From my own musical!

-What?! He can't do that.

0:40:100:40:14

-What's going to happen to the show?

-I don't know, and he did.

0:40:140:40:17

Lose the sleigh. Much too dangerous.

0:40:200:40:24

We're going to try something different.

0:40:240:40:27

Miss Adolf. Anybody but Miss Adolf.

0:40:270:40:30

Silence at the back!

0:40:300:40:31

I've got a lot of work to do

0:40:320:40:33

knocking this monstrosity into shape.

0:40:330:40:36

This is a masterpiece.

0:40:360:40:37

Don't you change one note.

0:40:370:40:39

That would be like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.

0:40:390:40:42

Beethoven's Fifth is a masterpiece,

0:40:420:40:45

The Nutcracker Suite is a masterpiece.

0:40:450:40:48

This is an assault on Christmas.

0:40:480:40:50

I'm begging you, don't ruin it.

0:40:500:40:53

I'm going to rescue it.

0:40:530:40:55

That would be like the iceberg rescuing the Titanic!

0:40:550:40:59

-Hm!

-Hm!

0:40:590:41:00

-IN AMERICAN ACCENT:

-Toodle-loo, Mr Claus.

0:41:020:41:05

You can't give up. This is your show.

0:41:100:41:12

Hank, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

0:41:120:41:15

Sometimes you play Glastonbury,

0:41:150:41:16

sometimes you get stuck in a portaloo

0:41:160:41:18

and you never make it to the stage.

0:41:180:41:20

Oh, yes, that happened.

0:41:200:41:22

What if I say I won't do it? They can't put it on without Rudolf.

0:41:220:41:25

This is your moment to shine.

0:41:250:41:27

I need you to make that show fabulous.

0:41:270:41:30

I will - by getting you your musical back!

0:41:300:41:32

Wait! Wait!

0:41:320:41:34

No. No, Hank!

0:41:340:41:37

Oh, I have to work on this teacher-pupil obedience thing.

0:41:370:41:40

-HE SOBS

-Why?

0:41:420:41:45

Hello?

0:41:470:41:49

Oh, yes. There's a lot of dust.

0:41:490:41:52

Just checking...for dust.

0:41:520:41:54

I know how to impress the inspectors.

0:41:540:41:56

Oh! You're moving to a new school?

0:41:560:41:58

No, but I can get Hayden Chase to sing in the Christmas show.

0:41:580:42:02

Oh, and I can get the Queen to tap dance with penguins.

0:42:020:42:05

You can?!

0:42:050:42:07

Oh...

0:42:070:42:08

But I really can get Hayden to sing. She's my friend.

0:42:080:42:10

Ridiculous. What are you, six?

0:42:100:42:12

You're nothing. No-one.

0:42:120:42:15

Stars like Hayden Chase don't even know you exist, lucky for them.

0:42:150:42:20

Now get out my sight before I give you detention -

0:42:200:42:22

for a whole year!

0:42:220:42:23

If I can get Hayden to do it,

0:42:230:42:25

will you put Mr Rock back in charge of the show?

0:42:250:42:27

Oh, I'll do one better.

0:42:270:42:29

If Hayden Chase sings in our musical,

0:42:290:42:31

I'll eat my socks in front of the whole school.

0:42:310:42:34

You heard it here first.

0:42:340:42:35

Out with the new and in with the old.

0:42:370:42:40

You can't go wrong with a classic.

0:42:400:42:42

But the show's on Saturday.

0:42:420:42:44

I've got an IQ of 146 -

0:42:440:42:46

even I couldn't rehearse a whole new play in two days.

0:42:460:42:49

Where there's a will there's a way, Emily.

0:42:490:42:52

Now, let's show the inspectors what Westbrook really stands for.

0:42:520:42:55

Indecisiveness?

0:42:550:42:56

Tradition. God!

0:42:580:43:00

Hi, Hayden. It's me, Hank...again.

0:43:020:43:05

Are you getting any of these messages?

0:43:050:43:06

I need you to call me back. It's kind of urgent.

0:43:060:43:08

-I've got a massive favour to ask.

-Dude, it's not even funny any more.

0:43:080:43:11

You know, it actually wasn't that funny to begin with.

0:43:110:43:14

Why isn't she calling me back? Maybe her phone's broken.

0:43:140:43:17

Maybe you need to leave Planet Hank and join us back on Earth.

0:43:170:43:20

I know, I'll go to the hotel and ask her face-to-face.

0:43:200:43:23

Hank, getting into more trouble isn't going to help Mr Rock or you.

0:43:230:43:26

You're wasting your time. She's singing in City Square tonight.

0:43:260:43:29

Tell Mum and Dad I'm rehearsing late.

0:43:290:43:31

"She's singing in City Square tonight."

0:43:310:43:33

-Why didn't you just call him a cab?

-I don't sound like that, Justina.

0:43:330:43:36

Come on, big mouth. We need to find someone to stop him.

0:43:360:43:38

Wait a minute, this is like looking for a snowball in a blizzard.

0:43:400:43:44

We should split up.

0:43:440:43:45

No, no, no, no, the last thing we need are more snowballs.

0:43:450:43:48

We're going to stick together.

0:43:480:43:49

-My guess is he'll be near the stage.

-All right, that's a good idea.

0:43:490:43:52

If that's true, we're going on old school.

0:43:520:43:54

Ow! I want my phone back. I need to call my mum.

0:44:060:44:09

I called her for you.

0:44:090:44:11

Told her you were having the time of your life.

0:44:110:44:14

She and your pops say hi.

0:44:140:44:16

Now make the magic happen.

0:44:160:44:17

-What are you doing?

-Making pancakes.

0:44:220:44:25

Thanks for coming out tonight. It's so good to see all of you.

0:44:410:44:44

Hayden! Over here! It's me, Hank.

0:44:440:44:48

Hayden!

0:44:480:44:49

-# Snow is falling...

-Hayden, it's me!

0:44:490:44:52

# Christmas Eve and children sing

0:44:520:44:55

# I should feel joy but not tonight

0:44:550:44:59

# Cos you're not here and that ain't right

0:44:590:45:02

# We were king and queen of prom

0:45:040:45:07

# My first love, where have you gone?

0:45:070:45:10

# I hold you close here in my heart

0:45:100:45:13

-# Was always you...

-Over...!

0:45:130:45:15

# Right from the start

0:45:150:45:17

# I've hung my stocking, made my list

0:45:170:45:20

# Hoping Santa hears my wish

0:45:200:45:24

# Snow falling from above

0:45:240:45:27

-# Far from the one I love

-Over here!

0:45:270:45:31

# All I need to make it right

0:45:310:45:34

# Is to your face tonight... #

0:45:340:45:35

-How can you not like this one?

-I think I'm allergic to her voice.

0:45:370:45:41

All right, coming through. Hank?

0:45:410:45:44

Excuse me. Wow! Great shoes. Great shoes. Hank!

0:45:440:45:49

-# ..this Christmas time

-Come home this Christmas

0:45:490:45:53

-Hayden, over here! Ow!

-# Ooh, ooh

0:45:530:45:56

# Choirs singing, snowball fights

0:45:560:46:00

# Mistletoe and fairy lights

0:46:000:46:02

-Ugh! Hayden!

-# I'd give up all of these

0:46:020:46:06

# I'd even give up Christmas trees

0:46:060:46:10

# I've hung my stocking, made my list

0:46:100:46:13

-# Hoping Santa hears my wish

-Hayden!

0:46:130:46:15

-# Snow falling from above

-Hayden!

0:46:150:46:20

# Far from the one I love

0:46:200:46:23

# All I need to make it right

0:46:230:46:26

# Is to see your face tonight

0:46:260:46:30

-Hank! Hank!

-# Fire's roaring but I feel cold

0:46:300:46:33

Hank! He was right here. Hank!

0:46:330:46:36

# Could you grant my wish tonight

0:46:360:46:39

# And come on home this Christmas time?

0:46:390:46:45

Hank!

0:46:450:46:47

# So come on home this Christmas... #

0:46:470:46:49

-The wire!

-Ugh!

0:46:490:46:52

Uh-oh.

0:46:520:46:54

SCREAMING AND EXPLOSIONS

0:46:540:46:57

-It's like Bumfire Night.

-BON-fire.

-Oh.

0:46:590:47:03

Hank? Is that you?

0:47:100:47:12

What in the blue blazes is that rodeo clown doing here?

0:47:120:47:17

-VOICE SHUDDERING:

-Grab him!

0:47:200:47:24

See? I told you my life was a disaster,

0:47:360:47:39

and I never want to see a snowman ever again!

0:47:390:47:42

You three, you're coming with us!

0:47:560:47:58

This is not the way to Buckingham Palace?

0:47:580:48:00

You're fired.

0:48:020:48:04

And I mean it this time!

0:48:040:48:07

-Oh, yes, this is lovely.

-Yeah.

-You were right.

0:48:210:48:25

We're going to need a bigger pot.

0:48:250:48:26

-PHONE RINGS

-Oh...

0:48:260:48:29

Hello, maternity ward. Nurse Stanley Zipzer on duty.

0:48:300:48:34

What do you mean he's been arrested?!

0:48:350:48:37

-POOL POPS

-Oh! Oh!

0:48:370:48:40

-Dad?

-Yeah, that's my boy.

0:48:470:48:49

-HE SIGHS

-Wow.

0:48:590:49:00

Well, this is a new low, isn't it?

0:49:020:49:04

Even for you, Hank.

0:49:050:49:07

You let me down.

0:49:080:49:09

You let your mum down.

0:49:110:49:13

You let the birthing pool down.

0:49:130:49:15

Why can't you just stop and think for once

0:49:170:49:20

before you launch yourself into these stupid escapades?

0:49:200:49:24

You see these walls?

0:49:270:49:28

Do you want this to be your future?

0:49:300:49:32

Sorry, Dad. It was an accident.

0:49:370:49:40

Yeah. Yeah.

0:49:420:49:43

I suppose it probably was.

0:49:440:49:46

Come on, son. Let's get you home, eh?

0:49:480:49:50

Well done. Finally made the news.

0:49:580:50:01

'Oh, well. Hayden wants y'all to know

0:50:010:50:03

'she's A OK after last night's rumpus.

0:50:030:50:06

'As for the loser that caused all this hullabaloo,

0:50:060:50:08

'I'm happy to say that Hayden doesn't know him from apple sauce.

0:50:080:50:12

'It seems he's a stalker.'

0:50:120:50:14

They must be talking about someone else. Hayden knows me!

0:50:140:50:17

He goes by the name of Hank Zipzer.

0:50:170:50:20

Maybe there's another Hank Zipzer.

0:50:200:50:22

-REPORTER:

-'A pupil at Westbrook School was arrested last night...'

0:50:220:50:25

You can't even be a successful criminal.

0:50:250:50:28

So, it wasn't enough for you to send the school inspectors

0:50:350:50:39

on a sleigh ride to the hospital?

0:50:390:50:40

-I didn't mean to do that, I...

-You didn't think.

0:50:400:50:44

You went far enough to ensure

0:50:440:50:46

that Westbrook Academy's reputation was in ruin.

0:50:460:50:50

You know what I was trying to do.

0:50:500:50:51

So what does he go and do?

0:50:510:50:54

He goes and gets himself arrested!

0:50:540:50:56

With three pupils! In school uniform!

0:50:560:51:00

To be perfectly clear, I was not in school uniform.

0:51:000:51:03

This may be the season of goodwill.

0:51:030:51:06

Look at that - "Christmas Crackers!" That's very smart.

0:51:060:51:09

But not for you, music man.

0:51:090:51:11

Under the power vested in me as commander-in-chief of this school,

0:51:110:51:15

-I declare that you...

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:51:150:51:18

Let's talk this out.

0:51:180:51:20

I love these kids, I love my job, I love this school.

0:51:200:51:24

Please.

0:51:260:51:27

Don't fire me.

0:51:280:51:30

I'm asking you.

0:51:300:51:32

I thought I fired you already.

0:51:390:51:41

Me? No, that would have been one of the other security guys.

0:51:410:51:44

'He goes by the name of Hank Zipzer.'

0:51:470:51:51

OK, darling.

0:51:510:51:53

We got a conference at ten for the launch of your toy doll.

0:51:540:51:57

Put on an outfit to match.

0:51:570:51:59

Why did you say he was a stalker? He's my friend.

0:51:590:52:02

That boy's dumber than a box of rocks.

0:52:020:52:04

I'll bet he can barely write his own name!

0:52:040:52:06

I want to go home for Christmas.

0:52:090:52:12

And I want to look 20 years younger, honey.

0:52:120:52:14

But even my plastic surgeon says that ain't going to happen.

0:52:140:52:17

I really need to see my family.

0:52:170:52:19

And you will...

0:52:190:52:21

just as soon as this tour is over.

0:52:210:52:23

Aw! Cheer up, honey.

0:52:240:52:26

I'm sure they've got tinsel in Tokyo.

0:52:260:52:29

-PHONE RINGS

-Ah!

0:52:290:52:32

Aloo! Great job on the doll.

0:52:320:52:35

Huh? Well, how much shelf space are we getting?

0:52:350:52:38

I know exactly how you feel, trapped in there.

0:52:400:52:43

I'm so, so sorry, guys. What did your parents say?

0:52:470:52:50

Look at Zipzer, loser.

0:52:570:53:00

How's Hayden, stalker?

0:53:000:53:01

Ha, loser.

0:53:020:53:05

A stalker?! At Westbrook?! The shame of it!

0:53:050:53:08

And during an inspection.

0:53:080:53:10

Sadly, I cannot expel you because it wasn't an official trip.

0:53:100:53:14

But one more mistake like that, Zipzer,

0:53:140:53:17

and you are O-U-T O-F H-E-R-E.

0:53:170:53:21

You work it out.

0:53:210:53:22

Hi! How are you both?

0:53:260:53:29

You're moving to a new classroom?

0:53:330:53:36

No, no, no. I'm starting a new life. They fired me.

0:53:360:53:38

This is all my fault. You must hate me.

0:53:410:53:43

I don't hate you!

0:53:430:53:45

I never thought I would make it this far.

0:53:450:53:47

I thought they were going to fire me after the first week.

0:53:470:53:49

Hey, want a harmonica? Bob Dylan gave it to me.

0:53:500:53:54

I never got the hang of it.

0:53:540:53:55

I'm so useless. I mess everything up.

0:53:570:54:00

1973, Denver.

0:54:010:54:04

Look at that. Believe it?

0:54:040:54:06

Me and The Flaming Rhinos were on tour.

0:54:060:54:08

It's my turn to drive the van, we get out, stretch our legs.

0:54:080:54:12

And nincompoop here forgets to put on the handbrake.

0:54:120:54:15

All of a sudden, I'm watching in horror,

0:54:150:54:17

the bus is going down the hill into the lake.

0:54:170:54:19

Glub, glub, glub...

0:54:190:54:21

Do you ever see a bass guitar drowning?

0:54:210:54:24

It's heartbreaking!

0:54:240:54:26

We didn't give up. Oh, no! We begged, we borrowed.

0:54:260:54:29

We got a new van, got new equipment, and we toured again.

0:54:290:54:32

We did not give up, and neither will you.

0:54:320:54:35

Hank, you are a clever, inventive, smart young man,

0:54:350:54:40

and just because reading, writing and maths might be hard for you,

0:54:400:54:44

it has nothing to do with how brilliant you are.

0:54:440:54:46

I'm starting a new life,

0:54:480:54:51

and you are going to be OK.

0:54:510:54:53

# But wishing never works

0:55:270:55:29

# It just adds to all the hurt

# I'm under your spell

OK, honey! The car is...

0:56:090:56:11

-Eurgh!

-Fired?

0:56:140:56:16

Why, I...

0:56:170:56:19

OMINOUS MUSIC

0:56:210:56:24

This play sucks!

0:56:240:56:26

Why can't we do Rudolph The Rock 'N' Roll Reindeer?

0:56:260:56:28

For so many reasons.

0:56:280:56:31

You do realise it's aerodynamically impossible for reindeer to fly?

0:56:310:56:35

Who cares? It's more fun than this!

0:56:350:56:37

Christmas isn't about fun!

0:56:370:56:39

It's about celebrating good, old-fashioned values.

0:56:390:56:42

Like not firing Mr Rock just because he was trying to help Hank?

0:56:420:56:45

Like obedience to authority, and respect for your elders.

0:56:450:56:49

Oh, yeah? Well, we're going on strike until Mr Rock is reinstated!

0:56:490:56:53

We want Rock! We want Rock!

0:56:530:56:55

ALL: We want Rock! We want Rock! We want Rock!

0:56:550:56:58

-Silence!

-We want Rock!

0:56:580:56:59

Back on the stage, all of you right now!

0:56:590:57:02

-This is your last warning!

-We want Rock! We want Rock!

0:57:020:57:06

We want Rock! We want Rock!

0:57:060:57:08

Very well. We'll do the show without them.

0:57:110:57:14

But...Nick can't play all 16 parts by himself.

0:57:140:57:17

I AM very versatile.

0:57:170:57:19

You're really not. Please, Miss. Go outside and talk to them.

0:57:190:57:24

I refuse to negotiate with anarchists.

0:57:240:57:27

OK, let's take it from the top.

0:57:270:57:29

CROWD YELLS

0:57:320:57:35

One at a time!

0:57:350:57:36

Don't make me use the squirty cream!

0:57:360:57:39

Hank! My hero!

0:57:420:57:43

Clear those plates and wash up, will you?

0:57:430:57:46

At least Papa Pete's still pleased to see me.

0:57:480:57:50

Get off! My last panettone is for Mrs Trapani!

0:57:500:57:55

Save yourself while you still can, Mrs Trapani.

0:57:570:57:59

-Oh, you're so kind.

-My darling.

-Ciao, ciao.

0:57:590:58:03

Do you know a Hank Zipzer?

0:58:040:58:06

Hi.

0:58:100:58:11

Hayden...I don't...

0:58:140:58:16

What are you...? It's so good to see you.

0:58:160:58:19

I just really wanted to apologise for the whole stalker thing.

0:58:190:58:23

Tammy was way out of line.

0:58:230:58:24

How did you find me?

0:58:240:58:25

You told me this was your happy place, remember?

0:58:250:58:28

So what were you doing crawling under the stage?

0:58:280:58:30

I, uh, needed to ask you something, but it doesn't matter now.

0:58:300:58:33

What? Tell me.

0:58:330:58:35

I messed up. It's what I do.

0:58:350:58:37

I mess up people's lives and make them worse.

0:58:380:58:40

It's the one thing I'm really good at.

0:58:400:58:42

Well, that and rocking an apron.

0:58:420:58:44

Here, let me help you with the dishes.

0:58:440:58:47

You've got much better things to be doing than washing up here with me.

0:58:470:58:51

No, I don't.

0:58:510:58:53

You know, I really like hanging out with you, Hank.

0:58:530:58:55

You're the only person I know that doesn't want anything from me.

0:58:550:58:58

Tammy'll be furious if she finds out you're here.

0:58:580:59:00

I just realised Tammy's ALWAYS mad.

0:59:000:59:03

And I'm going to choose who my friends are, not her.

0:59:030:59:05

I choose you.

0:59:050:59:07

I am the ghost of Jacob Marley!

0:59:100:59:13

It cannot be, you died seven years ago this Christmas Eve.

0:59:130:59:17

Whoa! You will be visited by three ghosts.

0:59:170:59:20

I can't do this. It's impossible.

0:59:220:59:24

Impossible is winning the '88 Fencing World Championships

0:59:240:59:28

with a broken epee and chronic diarrhoea.

0:59:280:59:31

Then you do it!

0:59:310:59:33

Oh!

0:59:330:59:34

Children today have no backbone.

0:59:370:59:40

Pathetic!

0:59:410:59:43

Don't even think about asking.

1:00:001:00:01

Uh... Very well. Then I shall play all the parts.

1:00:011:00:05

At least with my performance,

1:00:061:00:08

Dickens's words will be enunciated with perfect clarity!

1:00:081:00:13

A little something for you.

1:00:201:00:22

You two saved my life!

1:00:221:00:24

Papa Pete makes the best pasta in London.

1:00:241:00:26

The world.

1:00:281:00:29

My grandson says the nicest things!

1:00:291:00:32

Mmm! Wow, this is amazing!

1:00:321:00:34

And he has excellent choice in friends.

1:00:341:00:37

Hayden Chase!

1:00:371:00:40

Hayden Chase! Hayden Chase!

1:00:401:00:42

It's Hayden Chase!

1:00:421:00:43

# Don't want to be your flower girl, a pretty thing for you to twirl! #

1:00:431:00:47

I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.

1:00:471:00:49

I will eat my socks...right now!

1:00:491:00:51

Sorry, no consumption of food not purchased on the premises.

1:00:511:00:55

I'm so excited!

1:00:551:00:56

You're going to be singing in our school show!

1:00:561:00:59

-What show?

-Hayden Chase!

1:00:591:01:01

Everyone, she will be singing at Westbrook's Christmas show,

1:01:011:01:04

get tickets, tell everyone! It's Hayden Chase!

1:01:041:01:07

CAMERA CLICKS

1:01:101:01:11

Oh, one more.

1:01:111:01:13

Hayden Chase! It's Hayden!

1:01:131:01:15

Just... Aah!

1:01:151:01:16

Hayden Chase! Zipzer, what a result!

1:01:161:01:19

You came through.

1:01:191:01:21

Hank...what was he talking about?

1:01:211:01:23

I was trying to help my music teacher, Mr Rock.

1:01:251:01:28

I thought if you could sing in the show, then...

1:01:281:01:30

So, that's what all this has been about?

1:01:301:01:32

You just wanted something from me?

1:01:321:01:33

No. No, it's... It's not like that.

1:01:331:01:35

I thought you were different.

1:01:351:01:36

Now, you're just like all the others.

1:01:361:01:38

Please, let me explain.

1:01:381:01:40

Don't, OK? I've heard it before.

1:01:401:01:42

Goodbye, Hank.

1:01:421:01:43

She's going!

1:01:451:01:47

She doesn't like my pasta?

1:01:501:01:51

She doesn't like me.

1:01:521:01:54

-THEY CHANT:

-Adolf out! Adolf out! Adolf out!

1:02:011:02:03

I feel so bad about not believing Hank.

1:02:031:02:05

I feel bad we don't have a show for Hayden to sing in.

1:02:051:02:07

And for Hank, obviously.

1:02:071:02:09

Well, it's not over yet.

1:02:091:02:10

-SHE CHANTS:

-We want Rocky, he's on our list,

1:02:101:02:12

hoping you will hear our wish!

1:02:121:02:14

That's Hayden. You're singing her Christmas hit.

1:02:141:02:16

-THEY CHANT:

-We want Rocky, he's on our list,

1:02:161:02:17

hoping you will hear our wish!

1:02:171:02:19

How did that get in my head? She's a witch.

1:02:191:02:21

It's the magic of Hayden. No-one's immune.

1:02:211:02:24

-RADIO:

-Later on in the show, we've got the queen of pop, Hayden Chase,

1:02:261:02:30

singing live in the studio.

1:02:301:02:32

She's going to be right here.

1:02:321:02:34

How's that for another Christmas present, eh?

1:02:341:02:36

I told you we should have believed Hank.

1:02:421:02:43

Really? I must have missed that piece of parenting brilliance.

1:02:431:02:48

Well, OK. Well, I thought it.

1:02:481:02:50

If that Tammy knew they were friends,

1:02:511:02:53

why would she call him a stalker?

1:02:531:02:54

She didn't think that Hank was good enough for her precious star.

1:02:541:02:58

I tell you, if I ever see that massive-haired madam,

1:02:581:03:01

I'm going to...

1:03:011:03:03

Go into early labour, so calm down.

1:03:031:03:06

Keep breathing. In, out.

1:03:061:03:09

In, out.

1:03:091:03:11

Big breaths.

1:03:111:03:13

This won't take a minute.

1:03:151:03:17

These instructions make no sense.

1:03:171:03:22

-Thank you(!)

-What, so now we've got no cradle?

1:03:221:03:26

So, so where are we going to put the baby?

1:03:261:03:28

Because he can't live in here forever!

1:03:281:03:29

Uh, I will buy you another one.

1:03:291:03:32

I'll help you choose!

1:03:321:03:33

I am the ghost of Jacob Marley!

1:03:371:03:39

That cannot be! You died seven years ago this Christmas Eve.

1:03:391:03:41

Wah! You'll be visited by three ghosts.

1:03:411:03:44

No, no!

1:03:441:03:45

The ghost of Christmas past.

1:03:451:03:47

No, no! The ghost of Christmas present.

1:03:471:03:49

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!

1:03:491:03:53

I am the ghost of Christmas productions yet to come.

1:04:101:04:13

Who am I?

1:04:171:04:20

I am a soul of the night where I travel with...

1:04:201:04:25

Just take a look at what the audience thinks of what you've done.

1:04:251:04:29

Not exactly laughing in the aisles, are they?

1:04:291:04:33

You know what they're all thinking?

1:04:331:04:35

-They love Dickens?

-How quickly will this be over?

1:04:351:04:37

Don't be a Scrooge, Miss Adolf!

1:04:391:04:41

Don't leave me! Don't leave me!

1:04:431:04:47

Are you all right, Miss Adolf?

1:04:551:04:56

No! I need to find Mr Rock.

1:04:571:05:00

I have to save Christmas!

1:05:001:05:02

If I was a washed-up old music teacher, where would I go?

1:05:021:05:06

Do you want me to help you fill it with water?

1:05:071:05:09

-No, it's fine.

-All right.

1:05:091:05:11

I mean, I wouldn't be the one filling it.

1:05:111:05:13

You know, knowing me I'd probably flood the flat or something.

1:05:131:05:16

I mean, I'd just stand over here and watch.

1:05:161:05:18

Yeah, no, you can fill it when the time comes.

1:05:181:05:20

Just for now, your baby brother doesn't seem in any hurry to arrive.

1:05:201:05:24

Oh, right. I thought...

1:05:241:05:26

Are you OK?

1:05:291:05:30

I'm sorry we didn't believe you about Hayden.

1:05:311:05:33

It doesn't matter, anyway. We're not friends any more.

1:05:331:05:36

If that's because of that manager of hers,

1:05:361:05:37

I'm going to find her and I'm going...

1:05:371:05:39

No, it was my fault.

1:05:391:05:41

I messed up. Again.

1:05:411:05:44

What happened? Come on, tell me everything.

1:05:451:05:47

# I fly around the world singing my song

1:05:541:05:57

# Spreading the joy, righting the wrongs... #

1:05:571:06:02

Of all the subways in all the world,

1:06:041:06:07

you have to choose mine to walk through!

1:06:071:06:10

Mr Joy thinks he's made a mistake firing you

1:06:101:06:12

and thinks you should come back and put on your musical tonight.

1:06:121:06:15

Oh, he's not a Dickens fan?

1:06:151:06:16

We felt, on reflection, it was perhaps a little too...

1:06:161:06:19

-..highbrow.

-Had nothing to do with the kids striking, eh?

1:06:201:06:23

Oh, yeah, I heard about that.

1:06:231:06:25

Go on, then. Have a gloat. Let's get it out of the way.

1:06:251:06:28

Roll up, roll up, and hear all about Miss Adolf's Dickens disaster!

1:06:281:06:32

I'm sorry.

1:06:321:06:35

I didn't mean to shout at you.

1:06:351:06:36

I've been under an awful strain.

1:06:371:06:38

Please come back.

1:06:391:06:41

-HE STRUMS GUITAR

-The production needs you.

1:06:411:06:43

I didn't catch what you said.

1:06:431:06:45

-GUITAR LOUDENS

-The school needs you.

-What?

1:06:451:06:47

OK, OK!

1:06:471:06:49

-I

-need you!

1:06:491:06:51

-All right?

-Almost. A little louder!

1:06:511:06:54

I said, I NEED YOU!

1:06:541:06:56

Not the production, not the school!

1:06:561:06:58

Me! I need you!

1:06:581:07:00

Well, why didn't you say so? Of course I'll help.

1:07:001:07:03

Where are you going?

1:07:031:07:05

I'm in the middle of a gig, I can't just walk away!

1:07:051:07:08

-I could use a little help.

-Oh, no.

-Y-E-S.

1:07:091:07:12

Pick it up.

1:07:121:07:14

Come on.

1:07:141:07:15

Hit it against your thigh! Go on.

1:07:181:07:21

I'll tell you something, dancing would be great.

1:07:271:07:30

You make a lot of money dancing.

1:07:301:07:32

You are an insufferable little man and I curse the day we ever met!

1:07:321:07:36

We shouldn't be here, Mum.

1:07:431:07:44

You need to talk to her before she flies out tonight!

1:07:441:07:46

I really don't. Please, can we just go?

1:07:461:07:48

Listen. If you don't tell her how you feel, you'll regret it.

1:07:481:07:51

I'm starting to regret being here with you.

1:07:511:07:53

Oh! Oh, sorry, I just had to do that.

1:07:531:07:56

Oh! Ow, um...

1:07:561:07:59

Ooh! No, I think it's started it.

1:07:591:08:01

I'll have to sit down.

1:08:011:08:03

Yep.

1:08:031:08:04

SHE MOUTHS

1:08:041:08:05

Shouldn't Rudolph have bigger antlers?

1:08:061:08:08

I AM the star of the show.

1:08:081:08:10

What do you think?

1:08:101:08:12

Your show, your decision.

1:08:121:08:14

We're going to stay with your antlers.

1:08:141:08:15

You know what I'm thinking?

1:08:171:08:18

I'm thinking we should go with much bigger antlers.

1:08:181:08:20

Remember, when you first come out,

1:08:221:08:25

the other reindeers have no respect for you.

1:08:251:08:30

So...be tentative.

1:08:301:08:32

Nervous.

1:08:341:08:35

You must feel what Rudolph feels.

1:08:431:08:46

You must become a reindeer.

1:08:461:08:50

Hmm?

1:08:501:08:51

OK.

1:08:511:08:53

From the top!

1:08:531:08:54

"Hi, Mom. I'm sorry I'm not going to be home for Crismus.

1:09:101:09:12

"I'll call you from Tokyo."

1:09:121:09:14

She DOES spell Christmas wrong like me.

1:09:141:09:16

Oh, muffin!

1:09:161:09:18

I'm not going to sing in your school's show,

1:09:221:09:24

-so you might as well leave.

-I don't care about the show,

1:09:241:09:27

I care about what you think of me.

1:09:271:09:30

That's private!

1:09:301:09:31

You've got dyslexia like me.

1:09:311:09:33

You should probably go, OK?

1:09:331:09:35

You're the one with the problem, not me.

1:09:351:09:37

I get it.

1:09:371:09:39

You're a big pop star. You don't want to damage your perfect image.

1:09:391:09:43

I never said I was perfect.

1:09:431:09:45

Deep down, I'm just as messed up as my spelling.

1:09:451:09:47

I didn't tell you about the show,

1:09:511:09:53

because I didn't want to be another person asking you for something.

1:09:531:09:57

You weren't using me?

1:09:591:10:00

Only to help with the washing up.

1:10:001:10:02

I'm sorry, Hank.

1:10:041:10:06

Oh, no, your grandad must think I'm really rude!

1:10:061:10:08

-I didn't eat his pasta.

-He's a mess.

1:10:081:10:11

The only way to make it up to him is to come back with me.

1:10:111:10:13

I wish I could, but we're flying out tonight.

1:10:141:10:17

Well, you don't have to if you don't want to.

1:10:171:10:19

Try telling Tammy that.

1:10:191:10:20

Well, maybe it's time we just stood up to Tammy.

1:10:201:10:23

And maybe it's time you stopped

1:10:231:10:24

sticking your snout where it's not wanted.

1:10:241:10:27

Get this loser out of here.

1:10:271:10:28

Get moving, honey. You are on in five!

1:10:321:10:34

-Hank!

-Hayden!

1:10:341:10:36

Ouch, get off me!

1:10:361:10:37

Ooh! Ow, ooh!

1:10:391:10:41

Get your hands off my son!

1:10:441:10:46

You were faking!

1:10:461:10:48

Who even does that?

1:10:481:10:49

I told you to keep him away from my star.

1:10:491:10:52

She's worth a lot of money to me and I won't see her sidetracked

1:10:521:10:55

by a loser like him!

1:10:551:10:57

The only loser around here is you,

1:10:571:10:59

lying about my son being a stalker.

1:10:591:11:01

You knew they were friends!

1:11:011:11:03

I don't have to listen to this trailer trash.

1:11:041:11:06

Throw her out along with her dumb kid.

1:11:061:11:08

Oh, trailer trash?

1:11:081:11:09

I'll give you trailer trash!

1:11:091:11:11

What are you...!

1:11:111:11:12

Get off! Don't just stand there!

1:11:121:11:16

-Do something!

-I am not fighting a pregnant lady.

1:11:161:11:18

Aaah!

1:11:181:11:20

You're fired.

1:11:451:11:47

Fired, fired, fired, fired,

1:11:471:11:49

fired, fire, FIRED!

1:11:491:11:52

OH!

1:11:521:11:54

It's OK, Mum. You can stop pretending now.

1:12:001:12:02

No, I'm not pretending.

1:12:021:12:05

The baby really is coming!

1:12:051:12:07

I'll call Dad.

1:12:071:12:08

Oh!

1:12:081:12:09

Lift, lift, lift, lift, lift! Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

1:12:121:12:14

Oh! No, no, no, no.

1:12:141:12:16

I told you it was too big!

1:12:161:12:18

-Oh, shut up!

-PHONE RINGS

1:12:181:12:21

-Oh!

-You couldn't answer that for me, could you?

1:12:271:12:31

It's going to voicemail.

1:12:311:12:33

-I've got to get home!

-I'll call Emily.

1:12:331:12:34

No, no, no, no. She'll just boss me about. It's you, Hank.

1:12:341:12:38

You're my birth partner now.

1:12:381:12:39

Mum, you don't want me.

1:12:391:12:40

I'll mess up, something bad will happen.

1:12:401:12:42

It always does! I'll get help!

1:12:421:12:43

The baby's coming!

1:12:431:12:45

SHE GROANS

1:12:451:12:48

Stop!

1:12:491:12:50

Bethlehem's a bit far, love.

1:12:551:12:57

But I can drop you at St Thomas's.

1:12:571:12:58

-It's just over the river.

-No, no, I need to get home.

1:12:581:13:00

I'm having a home birth.

1:13:001:13:01

It's all going to be perfect this time.

1:13:011:13:03

We won't make it, Mum. It's too far.

1:13:031:13:06

Take us to hospital.

1:13:061:13:07

OK. No, no, you need to lift your end higher!

1:13:101:13:12

No, you need to lower your end and twist.

1:13:121:13:15

No, it won't twist! Lift!

1:13:151:13:17

I said, "Don't choose a big one!"

1:13:171:13:19

But what did he do?

1:13:191:13:21

You said this cradle was fit for a king!

1:13:211:13:23

Yes, but you don't live in a castle!

1:13:231:13:25

INCOMING TEXT ALERT

1:13:251:13:27

-Oh!

-Rosa's having the baby.

1:13:301:13:32

ROSA'S HAVING THE BABY! I've got to get out! Let me out!

1:13:341:13:37

Oh, what about the cradle?

1:13:401:13:42

It looks good there!

1:13:421:13:43

SHE GROANS Dad's on his way. He won't be long.

1:13:461:13:49

I don't want to be here, I want to be at home.

1:13:491:13:52

You'd be better off without me, I'm a total failure.

1:13:541:13:56

Don't say that!

1:13:561:13:57

Don't EVER say that.

1:13:591:14:00

You know, what's important is not good grades and all that stuff.

1:14:021:14:05

What is important is that you have a good heart

1:14:051:14:07

and you've got a great heart.

1:14:071:14:11

Oh!

1:14:131:14:16

Ohhh!

1:14:161:14:18

Mum, my hand. I think it's going to snap.

1:14:181:14:21

Oh... Ooh!

1:14:241:14:27

# I just want to hear Santa say

1:14:271:14:30

# "Go, Rudolph, tonight...

1:14:301:14:33

-HOARSE VOICE:

-# "Tonight..."

1:14:341:14:36

Did he just lose his voice?

1:14:361:14:39

I thought so. My Rudolph has lost his voice.

1:14:391:14:42

What am I going to do now?

1:14:421:14:44

You're exactly right, this show is a disaster.

1:14:441:14:46

Oh, if only Hank were here!

1:14:461:14:48

Not a thing I expected to hear from a teacher.

1:14:481:14:51

Or anyone, ever.

1:14:511:14:53

Mum's having the baby!

1:14:541:14:56

Excuse me. Excuse me, I know this is not the time.

1:14:561:15:00

-Where is Hank?

-Helping deliver the baby!

1:15:001:15:03

Well, as far as excuses go, that's not a bad one.

1:15:051:15:07

Oh!

1:15:071:15:09

Close your eyes.

1:15:091:15:11

Now is not the time for a nap, Hank.

1:15:131:15:15

It's a trick that Hayden taught me. You close your eyes

1:15:151:15:17

and imagine that you're in a place that makes you happy.

1:15:171:15:19

I'm in hospital, surrounded by machines. Nothing can change that.

1:15:191:15:25

Please, Mum.

1:15:251:15:26

OK.

1:15:281:15:30

Imagine the flat.

1:15:301:15:33

Cushions on the sofa, trophies on the book shelf.

1:15:331:15:36

Gherkin jar in the kitchen.

1:15:361:15:38

Um, can you make that pickled chillies,

1:15:381:15:40

cos I'm liking them now.

1:15:401:15:42

-Don't get distracted, Mum.

-OK.

1:15:421:15:44

Now, imagine that you're in the birthing pool.

1:15:441:15:46

The water is lovely and warm.

1:15:461:15:48

Dad's standing by your side, holding your hand.

1:15:481:15:51

Yes, I can see him!

1:15:511:15:53

You are doing great, love.

1:15:591:16:00

I am so proud of you!

1:16:001:16:02

Keep breathing.

1:16:031:16:04

Big breaths. Through the nose.

1:16:041:16:07

Oh, that chilli smells good!

1:16:091:16:10

Now, we really need you to start pushing now, OK?

1:16:101:16:14

-OK.

-OK. Now, you're heading for the home straight, OK?

1:16:141:16:16

The finish line is in sight. The crowd are going wild!

1:16:161:16:18

No. No, no, no sport stuff now.

1:16:181:16:21

Got it. OK.

1:16:211:16:22

One big, last push.

1:16:221:16:24

-SHE GROANS

-You can do it!

1:16:241:16:25

-BABY CRIES

-Go!

1:16:251:16:28

Oh, wow!

1:16:341:16:36

Look, isn't he gorgeous?

1:16:361:16:40

My two lovely boys.

1:16:401:16:42

Oh, che bello bambino...

1:16:481:16:52

Oh, he is beautiful, love!

1:16:541:16:56

I am so sorry I wasn't with you.

1:16:571:16:59

Well, you were,

1:17:001:17:03

-thanks to Hank.

-I'm so glad you're here!

1:17:031:17:07

But we do need to talk about the importance

1:17:071:17:09

of sticking to timetables!

1:17:091:17:11

Hey, if you hurry, you can still make it back to school

1:17:111:17:13

before curtain up.

1:17:131:17:15

But I'm not in the show any more.

1:17:151:17:16

Well, you are now.

1:17:161:17:18

We're just heading to the airport now.

1:17:231:17:25

Well, as soon as we're wheels down in Tokyo,

1:17:251:17:27

let's talk turkey on those extra dates in Sydney.

1:17:271:17:29

I want top dollar, Brett, OK?

1:17:291:17:31

Don't you lowball me.

1:17:311:17:32

Come on, darling. Let's hustle, we've got a plane to catch.

1:17:321:17:35

I said come on.

1:17:371:17:39

Like NOW!

1:17:391:17:40

What do you mean Hayden Chase isn't coming?

1:17:501:17:52

She had no choice, she had to go to Japan.

1:17:521:17:54

-Man, it would have been great to sing with her.

-And get a selfie.

1:17:541:17:57

What?

1:17:581:17:59

I had 5,000 of these printed!

1:17:591:18:01

The audience are expecting Hayden Chase!

1:18:011:18:04

The inspectors have arrived, I've shown them to their seats.

1:18:041:18:08

They can't see this! I'll lose my job.

1:18:081:18:10

OK. We must empty the hall!

1:18:101:18:12

But how? What if we had a sudden fire?

1:18:121:18:16

Oh, no, you don't. The show must go on.

1:18:171:18:20

Never admit defeat.

1:18:201:18:23

THEY LAUGH

1:18:241:18:26

The show must go on.

1:18:281:18:30

How about here? Can you see the stage OK?

1:18:331:18:36

Er, the cravings are supposed to stop

1:18:371:18:39

after the baby's born, you know.

1:18:391:18:41

Just shush and zoom in on the stage.

1:18:411:18:43

APPLAUSE

1:18:431:18:46

Welcome to Westbrook Academy.

1:18:461:18:49

We are delighted to have you here with us,

1:18:491:18:52

within these hallowed halls of learning,

1:18:521:18:54

where education is the name and excellence is the game!

1:18:541:18:59

Christmas is a time for love, peace and understanding.

1:18:591:19:05

Definitely not a time for throwing things at headmasters.

1:19:051:19:09

And, on an unrelated matter,

1:19:091:19:11

Hayden Chase will not be appearing tonight...

1:19:111:19:13

BOOING

1:19:131:19:15

And another tiny cast change.

1:19:151:19:17

The hugely talented lead Nick McKelty has lost his voice

1:19:171:19:21

and will be replaced by the marginally talented Hank Zipzer.

1:19:211:19:26

-Stalker!

-Stalker!

1:19:261:19:31

Hank and Hayden ARE friends!

1:19:311:19:32

She's eaten at my deli.

1:19:321:19:34

-Yeah.

-The Spicy Salami.

1:19:341:19:37

It's very good. Two-for-one lunch deals!

1:19:371:19:41

JEERING

1:19:411:19:42

So, without further ado, sit back and enjoy.

1:19:421:19:47

Enjoy the very first and possibly the very last performance

1:19:471:19:52

of Rudolph The Rock 'N' Roll Reindeer.

1:19:521:19:54

Be aware, no refunds will be admitted.

1:19:541:19:57

-BOOING AND JEERING

-No throwing things!

1:19:571:20:00

No... I'm the headmaster!

1:20:001:20:03

-Good luck, Rudolph.

-You can do this.

1:20:131:20:16

No, I can't.

1:20:161:20:17

Hold it.

1:20:191:20:21

Kids...

1:20:211:20:22

You know, I don't care that much about my musical.

1:20:241:20:26

What I care about is that you're willing to walk out

1:20:261:20:28

because of those people out there?

1:20:281:20:29

You're Hank Zipzer, right?

1:20:311:20:32

You're made of stronger stuff, right?

1:20:321:20:34

The answer to that question is yes.

1:20:341:20:37

So, here is the question you've got to answer for yourself.

1:20:371:20:40

Are you a reindeer that ROCKS?

1:20:401:20:42

Or are you a reindeer that rolls?

1:20:421:20:45

BOOING AND JEERING

1:20:481:20:53

Get off!

1:20:531:20:54

Why doesn't he speak?

1:21:021:21:04

Come on, Hank. You can do it!

1:21:051:21:08

-Get off!

-Get off!

1:21:081:21:10

Shut up and let him sing!

1:21:101:21:13

I take it back, none of you are welcome at my deli!

1:21:131:21:16

BOOING AND JEERING

1:21:161:21:18

Room for one more elf?

1:21:381:21:39

CHEERING

1:21:391:21:42

It's Hayden Chase!

1:21:511:21:52

What are you doing here?

1:22:041:22:05

-I wanted to see you again.

-What about your tour?

1:22:051:22:08

-What tour?

-Hey!

1:22:081:22:10

Get away from that loser!

1:22:101:22:14

He's not a loser.

1:22:141:22:15

We don't like her, she is not a nice lady.

1:22:151:22:19

You're getting in that car

1:22:191:22:20

and you're getting on that plane to Tokyo.

1:22:201:22:22

No, Tammy. I'm going to the airport

1:22:221:22:24

and getting on a plane to go home for Christmas.

1:22:241:22:26

I built you up from nothing.

1:22:261:22:28

You're no-one without me.

1:22:281:22:30

You do as I say or I will destroy you.

1:22:301:22:32

Remember me? I work for Miss Chase now.

1:22:331:22:36

-You're fired.

-Stings, doesn't it?

1:22:381:22:41

Get your dirty hands...!

1:22:411:22:43

CHEERING

1:22:431:22:46

Yes! Haha, who's the loser now, missy?

1:22:461:22:49

Say bye-bye to the nasty lady.

1:22:491:22:51

These are my best friends, they're big fans.

1:22:581:23:00

Hello? Are we doing the show or what?

1:23:051:23:08

-Are you ready?

-Where's the mistletoe when you need it?

1:23:081:23:11

Happy Christmas, Hank Zipzer.

1:23:141:23:16

That's my boy!

1:23:201:23:21

Look, that's your big brother. Isn't he amazing?

# Just once, I want to hear Santa say

1:27:111:27:14

# "Go, Rudolph!

1:27:141:27:15
