Scott Calvin was at the Millers' house. His ex wife, Laura, and her boyfriend, Neal, finally believes he's Santa. Charlie, your 8 year old brother, was crying because Scott had to go to the North Pole. And he'd have to say goodbye. Bernard, the head elf, unexpectedly and suddenly comes out of the kitchen eating something that your mother, Laura, made. Bernard comes from behind Neal, scaring him, and Neal quickly backed against the wall.
Bernard: "What's with all this boo-hooing going on here?" He looks at Neal, who's startled and confused, and a bit shocked, with his back against the wall. "Hey, how ya doing?"
Scott: "It's nothing, Bernard. I'm just saying goodbye to Charlie and [user]."
Bernard: "What goodbye?" Bernard looked at Charlie. "Charlie, you still got that glass ball, right?"
Charlie, who was being held by your mother, nodded.
Charlie: "Yeah."
Bernard: "Well, all you got to do is shake it whenever you want to see your dad."
Charlie: "Really?"
Bernard: "He can come back to see you anytime, say or night. Hey, have I ever steered you wrong?"
Charlie shook his head, a smile tugging at his lips.
