Christmas never dies

 

Voorstukje: Laat een kerstboom zien zonder kado’s  eronder. Laat klein kind naar boom toe rennen(zeer enthousiast) en dan in tranen uitbarsten, omdat er niets ligt. Dan een straat in beeld brengen, met daarbij een huilend geluid gemonteerd, alsof het uit de huizen komt.

Einde voorstukje

introsong

begin echte film

Op kantoor: komt hoed binnengevlogen, precies op kapstok. J komt binnen.

Chipper is daar ook. Praatje

 

A:Wouters huis

 

Chipper: That has to be James Bond! Oh James, I've missed you so much!

James:  Well Chipper, you're looking lovely as ever. But tell me, what happened to                   Moneypenny?

Chipper: But James?! Where have you been all these years? Money is very  oldfashioned, nowadays we use Chippers, so I had to change my name to be taken seriously. But enough about that. The old man is awaiting you.

James:   Than I'd better hurry, hadn't I?

Chipper: Bye James....

 

(James gaat deur binnen)

 

B:idem

Y:        Hello James. Good to see you again.

James: Goodday Sir.

Y:        What do you know about Santa Claus, James?

James: He lives on the North pole, he drives a sleigh powered by 8 reindeers, he  employs elves and of course he gives presents every year around Christmas.

Y:        I still admire your knowledge. Again I have to say that you did your homework well.Well, you will have to go to the North Pole. Santa will tell you wha he knows. He'll send you to             the Netherlands. Here you will meet special Agents Roger and Diana Dodger they   will fill you in further. Your plane's leaving in 15 minutes.

James: But first you will have to tell me why, Y, because I don't understand anything of this.

Y:        Didn't you hear that nobody got his presents for Christmas this year? You will have to find out why. This is a matter of great  national importance. The kids are the future, so we have   to keep them happy by giving them presents.

James: ok, see you later, Y

 

C:garage tom:

James sees U standing in front of him with his back towards him

 

James:    Is that you, U?

U:         Yes, it's me, and I brought a lot of nice stuff with me for you

James:   Cool! What is it?

U:         How about this nice Jeep.

James:   Are you sure it's safe to drive that thing?

U:         No, but that's why you had an extensive training at the beginning af your career. It's your job to do dangerous things.

James:   You got that right!

U:        well, I guess you know by now what nice stuff you can do with it.

James:   Yeah, I do.

U:        And what about this watch?

James:    I already have dozens of them from my previous missions.

U:         But this is a special one. This one tells the time!

James:   Wow! I never had one like that before.

 

 (Puts it on, steps in car and drives away while shouting goodbye to U)

 

 

D:huis roel

Location: North Pole: Santa's house.

We see James driving up the driveway. Goes into the house. Meets santa.

 

Santa: hohohohoho

James: Hi, The name is Bond, James Bond. Her majesty sends me.

Santa: hohoho

James:uhh, can you say something else too?

Santa: nonononono

James: ah, well. I'll ask you some questions now. If the answer is yes, say hoho

             If the answer is no, say Hohoho

            Do you understand that?

Santa:             hoho

James: do you really mean yes because you understand, or don't you understand and this is a coincidence?

Santa: hoho,  hohoho

James: Oh , I'm sorry, from now on I'll only ask you one question at a time

Santa: hoho

James:Is it true that all of the kid's presents are stolen?

Santa: hoho

James: Where have they been stolen?

Santa: hohohuh?

James: Sorry. Have they been stolen in england

Santa: hohoho

James:have they been stolen in the us?

Santa: hohoho

James:"""""""in russia

Santa: hohoho

 

Fade out

fade in (they both look very tired and confused

 

James:"""""" on the north pole?

Santa: hoho!!!!

James: do you know who did it ?

Santa: hohoho

James: Did you find any clues?

Santa:             hoho!

 

 (He walks away, beckons James to come with him They walk into a large empty storage room. S picks something up and shows it to James.

It's a pair of chattering teeth)

 

James: Teeth! He works for one of my oldest and most dangerous enemies... Doctor...

Santa:  hohoho?

James: No, not doctor No, much more dangerous than him... Doctor Dracip...

            Looks like I’ll have to go to Holland to face my worst enemy...

E:Kelder wouter

 

James: may I join in?

Doctor Dracip: sure, mr...?

James: Bond, James Bond.

Doctor Dracip: Pleased to meet you mr Bond James Bond. Now let ME introduce myself. My name is…

James: I already know your name, Doctor Drasip.

Doctor Dracip (suddenly irritated): I prefer to be called Drakip. It has more style. I don't like it when people call me Drasip. People that call me Drasip have a tendency to die young, if you know what I mean.

James: Yes, but surely a "c" followed by an "i" is pronounced as an "s"? It should be pronounced Drasip.

Doctor Dracip: You're playing with your life, mr bond james bond. I admire that. Let's see if    you're also good at playing cards...

James: Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends here?

Doctor Dracip: Very well.... Mr. Bond james bond, Roger dodger, Roger dodger, mr bond james bond, mr bond James bond, diana dodger, diana dodger, mr bond james bond.

Diana&Roger:(in koor) Pleased to meet you mr.bond

James: Most people are. Let's choose partners

Roger: I'd like to play with you mr.bond.

James: Hmmmm, well, all right than. You'd better play well.

 

(shot as bidding begins, than camera moves down, under table, so that you can see only legs. You can still hear the bidding, and the matching kicking against the legs of the partners. You can also see Diana's leg gently rubbing against James's leg, while not bidding. Camera moves up again, and playing begins. You don't see the entire game, only parts of it and you can see that roger is the worst  player that ever existed. When the game is over:

 

James: Please excuse me, I have to go to the Bathroom.

 

 (walks around the table till he stands     behind Roger)

 

             Would you like to join me Roger?

Roger: Um... No.

James: I strongely recommend that you join me , mr dodger.

Roger: um I don't want to. I'm straight!

James:(whispering in Roger's ear) I want to talk to you outside. I'm from M5.

 

(Around the corner he slaps Roger against the head : Stupid Idiot! don't you know how to play? Here, read this. (He gives him a book in which r can look up all possibilities so that he knows what to bid. Then they walk back, and second game begins. Fade out.)

 

F:wouter’s huis

(exterior shot of bridge club, with James, Diana,and Roger walking out. )

 

Diana: James, Roger and I are Dutch agents on a mission from Y. But Doctor Dracip doesn't know that. Ofcourse we're in disguise. We're pretending to be a couple that wants to learn     Bridge.

James: Yes, I thought so. Roger was acting so silly back there, I figured that stupidity was a      disguise. So you're not really married, that's a disguise too?

Roger: No, we are. We've been married for 6 years. The disguise is that we say we've only been married 4 years! Pretty clever, don't you think? I thought of it myself!

James: mmm. Clever disguise...

Diana:Well roger, why don't you go home, so I can fill james in about our assignment. It's top secret, you know...

Roger: Sure honey. See you later. (walks away)

Diana: Pfff, he's gone. To be honest, that stupidity of his is not a disguise at all. He just is stupid. No smart man would join the Dutch secret service...

I'm only married to him because Her Majesty wanted it. The marriage is the disguise....

James: Hmmm. That's what I thought. But let's get to business now

            What do you know about Doctor Dracip?

Diana: Oh james, must we talk about that right now. There are so much nicer things to do at this hour......

James: I dont know what you're talking about.. Just tell me what you know

Diana: But didn't you understand my hint while playing bridge?

James: Yes, ofcourse I did!! You tried to tell me that you had Hearts and clubs in your hand.

Diana: No, james I meant th............

James: I'm loosing my temper now!! Tell me what you know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diana: Well,  he's very rich. But I don't see why you need to know that. We're searching for presents, aren't we? I don't see why he's important.

James: Well, you never know. I found this clue in Santa's house: (he shows the Teeth) These belong to dr.Dracip’s help, Teeth. He's an old enemy of mine, but he didn't recognise me because I have to undergo plastic surgery after every three missions.

Diana: But what would he want to do with all those presents?

James: I dunno, maybe he wants to play with them. It's up to us to find  out.....

Diana: all right, that's the spirit. Let's do it right now!!!!!

James:  well, I'd say we start first thing in the morning. I really need a good night's rest.

Diana: See you in the morning James.

James:  I’ll pick you up in front of your hotel with the top-secret m5 maxivan.

Diana: OK.

 

(James walks home. We see Teeth following him. Suddenly he runs to James (from the back)  as to attack him. James. Starts running too. He runs around and around, until he is following Teeth. Teeth doesn't see James anymore, and he returns to Doctor Dracip's house(huis wouter). James follows him, and discovers a secret entrance to the house of Doctor Dracip. Then James returns home, where he finds Diana  waiting for him.

 

Tom’s house (Diana whispers in James’s ear:)

 

 James: Ahh! Oooh! Wow! Cool! Did you bring the whipped cream? Let’s go upstairs!!!

 

(Fade out)

(fade in: we see a bed, something is moving underneath the sheets, we see two pair of feet. Zoom out: we see that James is in bed, writing his christmaslist, being very excited about that. Diana  is lying next to him in bed , with her head in the opposite direction (v-shape), writing her list..)

 

James: It sure is cold in here. What kind of hotel is this? You have to get in bed if you don’t want          to freeze. By the way, why didn’t you bring Roger?

Diana: Well, it’s too bad Roger isn’t here with us. But it wouldn’t have had any point...

James: Why’s that?

Diana: Well, I read the script in advance, and by the time we’ll be able to give our lists to Santa,          Roger  will be dead

James: Hey, don’t tell that. It’s supposed to be a surprise. Do you want a piece of cake with some whipped cream?

 

(Fade out)

 

G: Bij Tom achterom

 Busje: vol met computers, spelcomputers. OP buitenkant bus staat: ” top secret M5 maxivan”.

James komt aanrijden, Roger en Diana stappen in. Ze rijden weg. James stapt, eenmaal aangekomen op de gewenste plek, ook achterin

 

James: Before we start, I’ll have to check the van for bugs,  standard M5 procedure. (Hij kijkt overal, vindt een rubberen spin en gooit die naar buiten) Now that’s over and done with, I’d like you to tell me all you know about Dr Dracip.

Roger: He has a very big house. He showed us around.

James: Ah, now we’re getting somewhere. Did you notice anything strange about this house?

Roger: Uh... It had a lot of rooms..?

Diana: Now that you mention it, I think I noticed something. Do you have some paper?

James: Ofcourse, it’s underneath that incredibly hi-tech computer over there.

Diana:(gives some paper to Roger): Here, help me out. Draw the house.

 

(Ze tekenen een plattegrond, Roger tekent, Diana geeft aanwijzingen)

 

             The ground floor was about 25 by 40 meters, it had 6 rooms, one of 12 by 8, one of    13 by 10, one of 20 by 15, one of 10 by 15, one of 15 by 10, and one of 17 by 10. Have you got that, Roger?

Roger: Nearly finished... there! Look! I particularly like the little birds! It even has smoke coming          from the chimney!

Diana: Roger, weren’t you listening to me?

Roger: Sure, you said draw the house and I did. Do you have any crayons?

 

(James gives him some crayons, Roger keeps colouring for the rest of the scene.)

 

Diana: Roger you’re so... 

James: (interupting) I did the arithmatic and there’s four square meters left. Give me that paper..

Roger: No! It hasn’t been coloured in yet!

 

(James takes another piece of paper and sketches the house)

 

James:  You see? Is this the john?

Diana: No. This is (she points at the largest room).

James: What does he DO in there?

Diana: Actually, I don’t think I want to know.

James: So what’s this little room here?

Diana: I don’t know. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see any doors.

James: Then it must be a secret elevator. All the bad guys have one. Trust me, I know about these        things. I wonder where it leads...

Roger: Probably up and down.

Diana: Since the house has only one floor, it can only go down.

James: You’re wrong there. If it’s in the basement it can!

Diana: Shut up James. I hate it when men are smarter than I.

James: So That’s why you married Roger!

Diana: Didn’t I just tell you to shut up?

James: Yes you did. I’m sorry. By the way, yesterday, when I went to my Hotel I was followed by Teeth. I managed to outwit him using my superior male braincells and I followed him back to Doctor Dracip’s house.  I found a secret entrance!

Diana: Do you know where it leads?

James: No, but I guess it leads to the basement.

Diana: Well, let’s not waste any more time and find out!

James: We have to wait till it’s dark.

Diana: Look outside, it IS dark. We’ve wasted so much time drawing houses and discussing your stupid macho behaviour it’s already eight o’clock!

James: No wonder I was hungry.

(Fade out)

 

H: wouter’s garage

 

(James , Diana en Roger  lopen samen naar de geheime ingang. )

 

James: Roger , open that wall.

Roger: And how would you suggest I could open a wall?

Diana: by pushing the secret button ofcourse.

Roger: Where is that secret button?

Diana:  Well, over there ofcourse.

 

(Camera moves to the point that Diana is pointing at: There is a big red button, with a text underneath it theat says: “ THIS   IS A SECRET BUTTON”)

 

James: NO!! Don’t touch that button. It probably is a trap. You’d better push the green button             that says “THIS IS NOT A SECRET BUTTON” .

Roger: OK , I trust you James.

 

(Pushes the green button. Door opens)

 

James: see, I told you!

Diana: ok ok, don’t rub it in...

 

(James sticks out his tongue, Diana  looks very angry, they go in. It’s very dark)

 

Roger: Help! Where are the lights?

Diana: Quiet you idiot! If you go on screaming like that, they’ll hear us!

James: For once, I have to say you’re right, Diana.

 

(James lits a fire with his Zippo)

 

James: Hmmm, let’s see... Ah, there it is..

 

(switches on the lights)

 

Roger: aaaaahhhhhh!

Diana: oooohhhhhhh!

James: Huuuuhhhh?  What does he want to do with all of this stuff?

Roger: probably the same as I want to do with it. Let’s play!!!!!!!

Diana: oh, grow up will ya?

Roger: huh, what? (He’s to busy playing to hear the question)

Diana: never mind........

James: Let’s find out what else we can find out.

           

(They walk on, till they find a pile of chips and a pile of playdo)

 

James: aha!! So that’s what he’s trying to do!

Diana: What?

James: isn’t that obvious?

Diana: ohh, uhhhh, well, let me think, don’t say it.........

James: he wants to make a huge plastic bomb!!!!!!!!!
Diana: I said: don’t say anything! Maybe he wants to make a huge plastic bomb!

James: Hey, how did you find out? Clay and computerchips make an excellent bomb.....you kan use the clay as an explosive, and computerchips to build a timer. It’s a pretty             clever idea to get it out of Children’s toys, they’re filled with all of that stuff.

(They are standing in front of the pile, astonished. Suddenly we see Teeth behind them. He hits Diana on the head , she falls down, unconsious. James turns around real quick, big fight starts. Teeth also brought a lot of help. James slaat ze allemaal in elkaar,and runs away to the chamber where they left Roger, Because Teeth still can stand up

 

James: Roger  ! give me that toy car!

Roger: but I.......

James: (shouting real loud ) GIVE ME THAT!!!!!

Roger: Ohh, I grmblgrmbl..........

James: tie that rope to the back of the car!

 

(Roger  does that. Teeth doesn’t understand what’s going on and stands still for a while, also because he’s a bit dizzy from all the hits on his head. James drives the car to him, and circles around and around, till Teeth is all tied up. He falls on the floor. They tie him up some more, and then they rapidly go to Diana. They bring her to consciousness. )

 

James: are you ok?

Diana: huh, what happened? Who are you? Are you my husband?

James: no, he is.(points at Roger )

Diana: yeah, I thought so. But it was worth the try, wasn’t it?

James: Don’t be so hard on him. He caught Teeth, and saved our lives with that.

Roger: (to James , whispering) But I didn’t do anything...

James: shut up. I’m only trying to help you save your marriage!

Roger: oh, thank you

Diana: Oh , I love you Roger !

Roger  : I lovge you too, Diana !

James: Oh, i’ll leave you two alone for a while. I’m going to save the planet.

Doctor Dracip: Oh no you’re not!

Roger: hey, where did he come from?

Doctor Dracip:  Well Mr Bond, we meet again! Nice surprise , isn’t it?

Roger: well actually.........

James: what exactly are you planning to do with that bomb?

Doctor Dracip: Don’t you already know, mr. Bond James Bond?

            I know  who you are now. You’re from M5, aren’t you?

At first I didn’t recognise you, because you had had plastic surgery. But you made a fatal  mistake...

James: and what mistake would that be?

Doctor Dracip: Because of your greed, you made a lot of movies. And last week I suddenly saw your name in the TV- guide. Then I remembered that Mr. Bond James Bond was my worst enemy.

James: well done doctor. I’m impressed! NOT!!!

Doctor Dracip: Be quiet! I’m going to torture and kill you all. But first Diana and Roger, so that           you will suffer even more than they will.   

James: and how do you want to do that, if I may ask?

Doctor Dracip: you may not ask, but I’m going to tell you anyway... first I will make you all     watch “The invisible Bloodthirsty alien” , the worst movie ever made, so that you will suffer incredibly.

Roger , Diana and James:  NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOH!!!!!!!

Doctor Dracip: HA HA HA HA HHAAAAAAH!

James: (whispering to Diana  and Roger  ) whatever you do, don’t LOOK! Keep your eyes wide shut!

 

(Doctor Dracip  takes them away trough a narrow passage. Suddenly we see Santa jumping forward out of  a side-passage)

 

Santa: hohohohohoho

All: it’s Super Santa!!!

 

(S kicks the gun out of Doctor Dracip’s hand. James and Roger  jump on Doctor Dracip  and tie him up.)

 

James: now tell me where you’re making the bomb.

Doctor Dracip: never!! Find it out yourself. I’d rather kill myself. (Holds breath)

James: oh, that’s fine with me.

 

(They all wait and watch Doctor Dracip . Then he starts breathing again an says:

 

Doctor Dracip: Hey, that not fair. I can’t do it when you’re looking at me like that!

James: now will you tell me where the bomb is?

Doctor Dracip: no, but I’ll give you a hint. It’s pretty far away and you’ll need your car to get there.

James: then that’s what we’ll do. Roger , you go get Teeth. Diana , you will stay here together             with santa to watch Doctor Dracip  and teeth.

Diana: but I want to go with you!

James: No, it’s too dangerous..

Diana: please please please

James: oh , all right than , you can come if it’s alright with Santa.... Santa, will you watch Doctor           Dracip  and Teeth alone?

Roger: make that just Doctor Dracip. Teeth managed to get away..

James: You wouldn’t have anything to do with that, would you Doctor Dracip ?

Doctor Dracip: sure I would...

Diana: you bastard..

Doctor Dracip: thank you..

James: then let’s just go. I bet we can find him where the bomb is.

Diana: too bad thaty we don’t know where the bomb is.....

James: think positive, tsjakka!

Diana: Hmmm...I’ll try.

 

 

I:Landweggetje met tunnel

(They go to the car. James drives, Diana  sits next to him and Roger  in the back. Roger  stand up and looks if he can see Teeth. He spots him indeed, and shouts:

 

Roger: follow that bike!

James: fasten you’re seatbelts. We’re in for a bumpy ride.

Roger: but than I won’t be able to see anything of the good stuff..

James: Than do what you want. I warned you....

Roger: corner to the left, straight on, straight on, sharp corner to the right, railway crossing, corner to the left, corner to the right, Tunnel....

Diana: What did you just say?

Roger: I said”a tunnel”

Diana: Ahh, I thought so . In that case: WATCH OUT!!!

Roger: for what??

 

(Fade out. Fade in at other side of tunnel, Roger  no longer in the car)

 

Diana: James, turn around and pick up Roger .

James: ok

 

(they stop near him. )

Diana: He’s dead James. What will I do without him? (Crying)

James: Leave him for what it is. It was his own fault. I warned him. But we have to go dismantle           a bomb before it’s too late.

Diana: And just when things were starting going so well....

 

(they follow Teeth till they find the hideout for the bomb.Roel’s huis ofzo They go in, they see teeth, punch his lights out, tie him up, and go to the bomb)

 

James: hmhm, this doen’t look THAT complicated...

Diana: Indeed. Let’s cut the green wire.

James: No, ofcourse not. Let’s cut the blue wire.

Diana: My intuition tell’s me to cut the green wire.

James: so what? I want to cut the blue one.

 

(Suddenly they hear a voice from high up in the sky, saying:)

 

Voice: Cut the red one , you two fools

Diana and James: why would we believe you

voice: It’s Christmas, and I am a token from heaven. Need I to say more?

Diana  and James: no, we’re sorry.....

 

(they cut the red wire, clock stops counting down)

 

James: let’s go back to Santa and Doctor Dracip , so that we can help Santa with giving presents         to everyone.

Diana: and than let’s get married.

James: huh?

Diana: Well, now that Roger  is dead, we can get married, can’t we?

James: I guess we can . But haven’t you seen  all of my movies? I never get maried.

Diana: Yes, you got married once. I was so upset than... I’m glad she was killed.

James: We’ll see. But first we’ll have to help santa.

 

(They walk back to the car.  But Teeth is gone.)

 

James: hey, were did Teeth go? I thought you tied him up?

Diana: I did!!

James: how?

Diana: I tied his shoe-laces together so that he couldn’t walk anymore.

James: how could you have been so stupid? He can still hupp, can’t he?

Diana: I’m sorry, I didn’t  think of that. 

James: well, never mind. He wasn’t that important anyway...

 

J:

(They drive away. They don’t know that Teeth is in the back. Suddenly he get’s up and strangles James. Diana hits Teeth in the face so hard, that he falls out of the car. )

 

Diana: Are you ok James?

James: yeah.. But I really hope Teeth isn’t. Let’s find out.

(Ze rijden terug, over hem heen. Ze zien dat hij dood is en rijden dan weer weg, weer over hem heen)

Diana: he’s dead alright...

James: Good... Let’s go back to Doctor Dracip

 

(they get back to them)

 

James: hai, Santa. We still have christmaslists for you. Can you give us some of these things. We           would really like that...

Santa: hoho!

James: Thanks Santa! Something else now: what will we do with him?

Santa: hohohoho?

Diana: I know something. Let’s make him help us wrapping all these presents again.

James: that’s a good idea...

Santa:hoho!

Doctor Dracip: nono!

 

(shot of wrapping presents)

 

James: how will we get these presents to the kids? Your sleigh has been stolen, hasn’t it?

Santa: uhhh, hohoho?

James: let me think, what does that mean? So your sleigh HAS been stolen?

Santa: HOHO!

Diana: I’ll help him. We can do it together.

James: Good idea again.

Santa: hoho!

Diana:  Will you help too, James?

James: I have to move on. Y contacted me and told me that I have to go to Rome, because someone kidnapped the easterbunny... That’s what my new movie is going to be about….

Diana: then go. It probably wouldnt have worked out between us anyway. (By the way , I think           santa here likes me a lot. I may marry him sometime...)

James: good luck..

 

(shot of James driving away, we see fireworks and we hear the song”we wish you a merry Christmas....”.)
