Wish for things

From: Miracle on 34th Street

No, but don't you see, dear? Some children wish for things they couldn't possibly use like real locomotives or B-29s.

You see, Mrs. Walker, this is quite an opportunity for me. For the past 50 years or so I've been getting more and more worried about Christmas. Seems we're all so busy trying to beat the other fellow in making things go faster and look shinier and cost less that Christmas and I are sort of getting lost in the shuffle.

The imagination

From: Miracle on 34th Street

Do you know what the imagination is? –Oh, sure. That's when you see things, but they're not really there. –Well, that can be caused by other things, too.

Outside or in?

From: Miracle on 34th Street

All my life I've wondered something, and now's my chance to find out. I'm going to find the answer to a question that's puzzled the world for centuries. Does Santa Claus sleep with his whiskers outside or in? –Always sleep with them out. Cold air makes them grow.

Just because

From: Miracle on 34th Street

Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can't get his wish that doesn't mean there isn't a Santa Claus.

A frame of mind

From: Miracle on 34th Street

Oh, Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind... and that's what's been changing. That's why I'm glad I'm here, maybe I can do something about it.

Prove it

From: Miracle on 34th Street

Would you please tell her that you're not really Santa Claus, that there actually is no such person? –Well, I'm sorry to disagree with you Mrs. Walker, but not only is there such a person, but here I am to prove it!
