Quotes 

• Al : [finding Susan's letter to Kris]  Hey, Lou! C'mere!

  Lou : Yeah?

  Al : Hey, here's a new one! I seen 'em write to Santa Claus North Pole, South Pole and every other place, here's a kid writes 'Kris Kringle New York County Courthouse,' can you beat that?

  Lou : The kid's right.

  Al : Yeah?

  Lou : They got him on trial down there. He claims that he's Santy Claus and the D.A. claims that he's nuts.

  [holds out paper] 

  Lou : Here, read it for yourself, right on the front page.

  Al : [getting an idea]  Hey, uh... hey Lou, how many Santy Claus letters we got down at the dead letter office?

  Lou : I dunno, there must be about fifty thousand of 'em, bags and bags all over the joint and there's more coming in every day.

  Al : Yeah. Hey uh, hey Lou...

  Lou : Yeah?

  Al : Uh, it'd be kinda nice to get rid of 'em, wouldn't it huh?

  Lou : Yeah but... hey, that's a wonderful idea...

  Al : I mean after all, why should we be bothered with all that stuff, huh? Why don't ya get a couple of trucks up here, big ones, right away! Load 'em with all that Santa Claus mail and deliver 'em to Mr. Kringle down at the Courthouse!
