Transcript
Narrator: Mr. Grumpy lives on the Mainland. He often feels very lonely as no one seems to have the time to talk to him too much. But the time when he feels loneliest of all is around Christmas. One day Arnold and Dorothy past him on their way to collect goods for the grand Christmas party at the Steelworks.

Arnold: Morning Mr. Grumpy.

Dorothy: How are we today?

Mr. Grumpy: Oh just my usual miserable self.

Arnold: But it's Christmas soon, and you've got to show your spirit.

Mr. Grumpy: I know. I need someone to talk to at Christmas.

Arnold: That's it. I have an idea.

Mr. Grumpy: What's that?

Arnold: Let's get all the characters on the Mainland to have a Christmas party for Mr. Grumpy.

Mr. Grumpy: That would be nice for my first proper Christmas.

Narrator: Back at the Steelworks, Dorothy and Arnold were talking with Ned Flanders, Miss Finch and Silver about how to get Mr. Grumpy in the Christmas spirit.

Ned Flanders: And did we hear something about all the characters getting together for a grand Christmas party?

Miss Finch: That sounds marvelous.

Silver: Absolutely spiffing!

Narrator: Meanwhile, Snail was delivering passengers in his barges, Frank and Eddie, when he passed the Mainland Scrapyard. Then a voice called out to them.

Pearl (offscreen): Frank? Eddie?

Eddie: Who said that, Frank?

Frank: I don't know, Eddie. But it did sound familiar.

Snail: Let's go back and have a look. (reverses and then stops next to Pearl)

Frank: Well I'll be!

Eddie: It's our good friend Pearl! Well, we haven't seen you since we were given to this fine snail.

Pearl: Ah yes, I've been left on scrap for twenty-three years. And no one's even looked at me during this time.

Mrs. Ball: Except for me.

Snail: Who are you?

Mrs. Ball: They call me Mrs. Ball. I've been left on scrap for forty-seven years, and I'm in a worse state than this brown float in the water.

Frank: Now, now that's not the way to treat barges.

Eddie: Frank is right you know.

Snail: Indeed. I'll see if Mayor Honeypot can get you both fixed up in time for Christmas.

Pearl: You sure about this, young snail?

Eddie: Of course he's sure.

Narrator: So Snail delivered his passengers and then went to see Mr. Honeypot.

Snail: So you see sir, we must get that old barge and cat restored and back in working order before the grand Christmas party.

Mayor Honeypot: So I heard. Yes I'll see what can be done.

Goose: Hooray for Snail!

Duck: Good on you Snail.

Hen: We'll count on you.

Harriet: We know you can do this.

Beaver: Well done Snail.

Skunk: Very good sir.

Snail: Thank you friends.

Narrator: For the next few days, while Mrs. Ball and Pearl were being restored, the Mainland characters, big and small, were getting ready for the biggest and best Christmas party their land was ever going to see.

Mermaid Man: So, we're just going to count up to see that all the anti-heroes are here.

Heavy: One.

Bomb: Two.

Big Griz: Three.

Big Mike: Four.

Rock Slag: Five.

Gravel Slag: Six.

Big Gruesome: Seven.

Little Gruesome: Eight.

Dr. Robotnik: Nine.

Mojo Jojo: Ten.

Katz: Eleven.

Little Miss Naughty. Twelve.

Willie White: Thirteen.

Ned Cauphee: Fourteen.

Boomer Bledsoe: Fifteen.

Barnacle Boy: So is that all the anti-heroes?

OJ: Must be.

Puffa: Then it looks alright to us.

Top Hat: And we tugs of the National Sea Museum are all ready too.

Spongebob: And that includes me too. Hello I'm Big Big's brother finally glad to get a role on TV.

Lillie Lightship: So that must be all of us now.

Ned Flanders: Good. So we're going to have a double-Christmas party this year.

Silver: And you'll find out all about it by December the 25th.

Narrator: Finally on Christmas Eve, Pearl and Mrs. Ball were completely restored and ready to be back in work.

Pearl: I feel as good as new.

Mrs. Ball: Me too.

Frank and Eddie: Hooray!

Snail: At last, you're shinier than ever. And the Christmas party is tomorrow night. Let's go.

Narrator: So on Christmas afternoon, Snail took carolers to the Mainland church in his three barges, Frank, Eddie and Pearl, while Mrs. Ball and the other animals brought decorations to Mr. Grumpy. And that evening, all the big and small characters sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas!" to Mr. Grumpy.

Mr. Grumpy: Thank you everyone. At last my first proper Christmas!

Narrator: Then the next day, Mayor Honeypot invited Mrs. Ball to join his land as its No.8 animal.

Mrs. Ball: Thank you sir. I can't wait to start work on my new land.

Goose, Duck, Hen, Harriet, Beaver, Skunk and Snail: Hooray!

Narrator: And more cheers came from all the characters all over the Mainland.
