Kringle Time

- Just give me the keys. - Give me the keys.

Give me the keys.

It's Kringle Time!

There are, like, forty people counting on me...

Oh everyone's always counting on you, Gary!

Everyone always needs you, Gary!

Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary!

The spotlight shines real bright, doesn't it, Gary?

I know it's not Mister Goddamn Wizard,

but they still need someone to run the fucking show

and in order to run the fucking show,

I need to get to the fucking show

and in order to get to the fucking show,

I need the fucking car!

Blinders, Jerry!

My Car!

So what if it's in your name?

You are more than this.

You are more than the job you hold.

You are more than the town where you live.

You are a shining ball in the darkness of existence.

We're at ten minutes, Jer.

On my way.

- Herb's not at set. - What? Where is he?

I don't know. But he's not at set.

Intern said he's not in the dressing room either.

Ten minutes!

Hey Gunther, my trash still hasn't been taken out.

- Fünf minuten. - It's been four days,

can you take care of it, please?

- Jawohl! - Can you just say "Yes"

- in the future? - Jawohl.

I don't speak German, Gunther.

Hey... who are you...

Have you seen Herb?

Welcome to Goshen Public-Access, Mr. Mayor.

Oh, Jerry, you've met Rodney, right?

Mayor Jorkins, don't think I've had the pleasure.

Hiya Jerry, the pleasure's all mine!

Did you vote for me?

I'm just joshin' ya!

But did you vote for me?

- Uh, Daphne? - What!

- Seen Herb? - I haven't seen him.

- The Herb? - Very nice to meet you, sir.

All right, love you, bye.

- Meow, meow... - You guys seen Herb?

Jer-Bear, we're in the middle of something.

Please don't call me Jer-Bear, I just want...

Bye.

- Jerry, where the fuck is Herb? - Looking for him right now.

I need to mic him up before we go live.

Sound doesn't penetrate a fucking snowsuit, Jerry.

- I'm on it, Karen. - Aw thanks, asshat.

Six minutes.

Good morning, Goshen.

Morning.

Good morning, Goshen!

- Good morning Go-shen... - Ernest!

- Have you seen Herb? - What?

- Herb. - What?

I... I don't know, Jerry.

Okay.

Hey, have we checked his dressing room?

The sign on the door says "In Kringle Time."

I just assumed he's on set.

- That's not what that means. - What does it mean?

Herb needs personal time during the day.

- He calls it "Kringle Time." - Well it's also the name

of the show, so it's just confusing.

It is confusing, thank you, Greg.

- Herb, we're at... - Jerry, I have to quit.

Wh... can we talk about this later?

No, I'm sorry.

Herb, we gotta stop burning through interns.

It's this place, Jerry.

When your dad and I started this show,

I never thought I'd be here now.

We really don't have time for this today.

Three decades and here I am.

Gathering dust inside a fraying snowman.

Doesn't sound so bad.

You're a fuck-up, Jerry.

You don't know nothing.

Okay.

- Hey, big love. - Tell me the mantra again.

Take the turn!

Come on, Grayson, you fuck!

Is that my daughter on the phone?

- Yes. - ...At the fucking Hamptons!

Herb won't come to set, what's the thing you said last time?

Come on, Grayson, you're better than this.

- What did you say last time? - Oh.

Tell him there's only one Kringles.

Can't control our legacy, Jerry.

That's... that's what I figured out.

At the end of the day, our life's just a...

There's only one Kringles.

Fuck it.

Karen, found your snowman!

- How you doing, love? - For fuck's sake, Herb!

Ugh, God, you smell like piss on the rocks.

- Yeah, well... - We got two minutes!

I feel like Brooklyn is where I belong,

but Manhattan is, like, my soul.

- Uptown or downtown? - No, Manhattan.

- You found Herb? - Yeah.

- Is he drunk? - Where's the mayor?

Oh Jesus.

Mr. Mayor.

Is this 4K, or what?

Yeah, it's great, huh?

Don't wander off.

- Yeah, great technology. - Mhm.

- You use three cameras on this? - That's right.

Herb, you good?

As good as it gets, Jer.

Meant to say that kids are the bane of my existence,

but that's, you know, you do what you gotta do, right?

This place that I got in Brooklyn...

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are live in...

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Fade up title.

- Is that here? - Nope, up one.

- Okay, there. - It's Kringle Time!

And we're live.

And camera two, you are live.

Uh oh, cowpokes!

I don't have enough magical power

to do the Kringle Twist yet.

You must not be wishing hard enough.

And mark.

Standby camera one for Kringles Korner, that'll take us out.

Anger me at your own peril.

We love you, Kringles!

You're the snowman!

And camera two, you're live.

Let's find out what we got today.

Whoa, It looks like Kringles got a letter!

What does it say, Kringles?

Let's find out, Jaxon.

Let's see here.

"Dear Kringles..."

"Dear Kringles..."

What's going on, Herb?

S... sorry Kringles...

is having a...

Should I cut, Jerry?

Herb, Herb! Don't say anything and do not...

Call 911!

Get the goddamn suit off of him!

Would you stop!

I'm trying to help!

Just call the goddamn ambulance!

Jerry, how do I cut again?

It's the red goddamn button, Ethel!

Come on, Herb.

Never take off the...

Thank you, Gunther.
