Miracle on 34th Street/Heartwarming
- Alfred, Macy janitor. It's amazing how heartwarming a janitor can be, especially when he points out the Christmas shouldn't be about making money.
- Kris and the little Dutch orphan girl. The entire conversation is a Bilingual Bonus.
Kris: Hallo! ik ben blij dat je gekomen bent! (Hello! I’m glad you came!)
Girl: O, u bent Sinterklaas! (Oh, you are Santa Claus!)
Kris: Jazeker! (Yes, surely!)
Girl: Ik wist dat u het zou begrijpen! (I knew you would understand!)
Kris Kringle: Natuurlijk! Zeg maar wat je zou willen hebben. (Naturally! Tell me what you’d like to have.)
Girl: Niets; ik heb van alles. Ik wil alléén maar bij deze lieve dame zijn. (Nothing; I have everything. I just want to be with this nice lady.)
Kris Kringle: Wil je een liedje voor me zingen? (Would you like to sing me a little song?)
Both (singing): Sinterklaas kapoentje, (Santa Claus, you rascal,)
Geef wat in mijn schoentje, (Give me something in my shoe,
Geef wat in mijn laarsje, (Give me something in my boot,
Dank u, Sinterklaasje! (Thank you, Santa Claus!)
- During Kris's hearing, Mr. Macy is brought to the stand to testify, and is asked if he really believes him to be Santa Claus. When he's about to answer, he imagines the bad press it could bring his store if he admitted, in court, that his Santa is a fake. After he hesitates, the DA repeats the question. Macy thinks of Kris's professional air to the entire job, his goodwill campaign in dealing with the customers, and the smiling faces of all the children he greets before confidently answering, "I do."
- How about Kris's look of complete joy and gratitude as the letters pile on the judge's desk? *snif*
- Doris has just read Susan's letter to Kris. She smiles, then pulls out the fountain pen to add a message to the bottom. "I believe in you too. Doris."
