A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa
Gonzo: I wish I could be Santa Claus for just one day, I'd fill a bag with kindness and I'd give it all away, I'd make the world a better place, I'd do that if I could, I love the way it feels inside when I do something good.
Fozzie: I wish I could be Santa Claus, imagine that, although I could not fill his boots, I'd look great in his hat, I'd love the milk and cookies, and there's one more thing I'd do, I'd try to teach the kids to be a little more like you.

You know in that opening sequence, Belle goes to the bookseller, borrows the book she has borrowed like three times before, and the bookseller’s all “If you like it all that much, it’s yours!” I definitely tried to pull that stunt at...
