[Henry wakes up, dazed]
HENRY: I'm in my room. In my house! My stuff! They're all here! I'M HOME! (he dresses quickly and opens the window to speak to Jolly Josh) Yo Josh!
JOSH: Eh?
HENRY:
What's the day, my fine fellow?
JOSH:
Today? Why, Christmas Day!
HENRY:
Christmas? (enters his "Eureka" moment) EUREKA! THAT'S IT! It's Christmas Day! I haven't missed it! The spirits have done it all in one night. They can do
anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can save Ted. Merry Christmas!
JOSH: And a Happy New Year!
HENRY: I'm going to get Peter a big turkey for today! He'll love it! (walks with Josh to the poultry shop when he sees Paul) Hi Paul!
PAUL: Oh, hi bratface! What you want?
HENRY: I'm here to give you 500 pounds each! (gives him the money) Merry Christmas and God bless you!
PAUL: Merry Christmas, brat!
HENRY: (after buying the turkey) Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to all! (he stops and sees Peter. He makes a horrid face) Perfect Peter
PETER: Henry! I.. I was only going with my friends to our dad's house.
HENRY; Exactly! So there I will give you...
PETER: WH-WHAT??!
HENRY: (happily) A raise! I shall give you enough money to afford medicine for Ted!
PETER: Oh goody!
MISS LOVELY: How lovely!
(at Henry's House)
DAD: Henry! You came! With all the Best Boys club!
HENRY: Indeed I did. Merry Christmas to all!
TED: And God bless us, everyone!
