Santa Claus: We're getting close to deadline, Olaf...do you have the final naughty-or-nice surveillance report on Danae yet? Olaf: Yessir. It took me all night to compile the results Santa: Tsk tsk tsk oh dear... Olaf: Every year I think it's gonna be easier to call it one way or the other with her, but she always seems to find a way to complicate things in the end Santa: This is going to be the closest call yet, and it all appears to come down on this one event... Olaf: Yeah, she heard about a $10 million prize for anyone able to launch a manned rocket successfully into space and back. You'll have to make the final naughty or nice call, sir Lucy: Um..since the rules specify that the rocket has to be manned, will it still count with me as the pilot? Danae: Dang! We'll have to scrub the mission Santa: Well...technically speaking, she ended up doing the right thing... Olaf: Understood, sir Lucy: It's Olaf...he says you made the cut by the slimmest margin in naughty-or-nice list history Danae: Woo-hoo! I have a mandate!!
