If you still need another one... Elf (2003), written by David Berenbaum PAPA ELF: I think it's time you start your tinker training. BUDDY: Santa's sleigh! PAPA ELF: You're going to help me make it fly. BUDDY: I thought the magical reindeer made the sleigh fly. PAPA ELF: And where do the reindeer get their magic from? BUDDY: Christmas spirit – everybody knows that. PAPA ELF: Well, as silly as it sounds, a lot of people down south don't believe in Santa Claus. BUDDY: What?!? Who do they think puts all their toys under the tree? PAPA ELF: Well, there's a rumor floating around that the parents do it. BUDDY: That's, that's ridiculous. I mean, parents couldn't do that all in one night. What about Santa's cookies? I suppose parents eat them, too?! I couldn't find a clip of this particular scene, so I'll offer some trivia instead. Ming Ming, the elf supervisor, is played by Peter Billingsley, best known for playing Ralphie in A Christmas Story. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas to you, Melinda, and any/all writer who happen this way in their creative endeavors!
