Elfs Low Productivity

I've heard a little scuttlebutt from the shorties on the line.

I'm gonna have the senior elf come in here and report.

Where is she?

I told her to be here.

Hmm. Hi Santa, Mrs. Claus.

Ho ho ho!

What news do you have for us about the toy assembly line?

I'm really sorry, but production has been kind of slow this year.

Sorry.

Oh.

Let's see what you got there.

How very, very disappointing.

With only ten days till Christmas.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Claus.

The elves have been working really hard.

Work them harder. It's Christmas after all!

We need to give toys to all of the boys and girls who have been good.

This just won't do.

We have one date to make this work.

You've known for the past year.

I know, Santa. They're trying really, really hard to get everything ready.

This is just not acceptable.

I think somebody needs a little bit of incentive.

I agree with the Mrs.

You know what happens? Over Santa's lap, right now.

Bring it.

This is what happens when toy assembly is just coming up short.

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Claus and Santa.

As you should be, but sorry just doesn't cut it.
