Quotes 

• Santa : I've been to New York thousands of times.

  Buddy : Really?

  Santa : Mm-hmm.

  Buddy : What's it like?

  Santa : Well, there are some things you should know. First off, you see gum on the street, leave it there. It isn't free candy.

  Buddy : Oh.

  Santa : Second, there are, like, thirty Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original. But the real one's on 11th. And if you see a sign that says "Peep Show", that doesn't mean that they're letting you look at presents before Christmas.

• Santa : That's another thing... Buddy you should know that your father... he's on the naughty list.

  Buddy : Nooooo!

• Santa : I'm getting too old for this.

• Santa : I need an elf's help.

  Buddy : I... I'm not an elf, Santa. I can't do anything right.

  Santa : Buddy, you're more of an elf than anyone I ever met and the only one who I would want working on my sleigh tonight.

• Santa : Oh no, it's the Central Park Rangers.

• Buddy : [the Central Park Rangers are chasing Santa's sleigh]  Santa, why are they chasing us?

  Santa : I put them on the naughty list and they never forgave me.
