Growler: Uh, did you just see the Deep Hurting towing The Satellite of Love in the direction of the Time Bag?
M. Waverly: I did. But I wasn't going to say anything.
Growler: Waverly, let's promise each other to lay off the hard stuff.
M. Waverly: You said it, brother man.
Growler: So, think we gotta call the boss lady?
[In Moon 1]
Kinga Forrester: We did it, Max. Here's to the first ever Triple Riffle Christmas Host Spectacular.
Max: Tonight, we made history.
[phone rings]
Kinga Forrester: Now what? (answers) Ugh. Talk to me.
Growler: (murmuring)
Kinga Forrester: What? Joel, Jonah and Emily are on the verge of escaping out of the Time Bag?
Growler: (murmuring)
Kinga Forrester: Yes, I think you should do something!
Growler: Huh?
Kinga Forrester: Get the half tracks out there and stop them!

EMILY
...you'll wake up and you'll say
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Joel Robinson: Whoa, how we doin'?
Jonah Heston: We don't have enough momentum. We're not gonna make it.
Emily Connor: Oh, no, come on, you guys. We can do this. We just need to pick up the pace.
Joel Robinson: Ooh, I got it. Let's do "Patrick Swayze Christmas". That'll give us the boost we need.
Jonah Jeston: Good. Good idea. Here we go. Ready?

Hooray for Santy Claus!
You spell it S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S
Hooray for Santy Claus
Hooray for Santy Claus
Yay yay for Santy Claus
He's fat and round, but jumpin' jiminy
He can climb down any chiminy!
When we hear sleigh bells ring
Our hearts go ting-a-ling
'Cause there'll be presents under the tree
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Now all year long at the North Pole
He's busy making toys
But he knows just what you're doin'
So you better be good girls and boys!
Hang up that mistletoe
Soon you'll hear Ho Ho Ho
On Christmas Day, you'll wake up and you'll say
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Yay yay! Yay yay!
Yay yay! HOORAY!!!
Hang up that mistletoe
Soon you'll hear Ho Ho Ho
On Christmas Day, you'll wake up and you'll say
Hooray for Santy Claus!

Hooray for Santy Claus!
You spell it S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Hoo-raaaaayy forrr Sannn-tyyyy Clauuuusss!
Hooray for Santy Claus!
