CAROLE: You said, "A Christmas, Carole."
SAM: No, not Carole … never mind.
(Turning her attention back to Anna.)
SAM: What is the purpose of this visit?
ANNA: Christmas Presents.
SAM: No, no. there is no Ghost of Christmas Present!
ANNA: I'm here to deliver Christmas presents. My name is Anna
Zonn. I'm a deliverer.
(Anna starts inventorying and checking the boxes using a
clipboard.)
SAM: So, you have a message for me, oh deliverer?
(Anna checks her clipboard.)
ANNA: Nope. Maybe tomorrow. Shipping is a little delayed due to the
storm. And, of course, supply chain issues.
SAM: No! A story! A message! Do you have something prepared to
tell me?
ANNA: Nothing planned.
SAM: Then, are you here to give me a sign?
ANNA: No, I need you to sign. I need you to sign saying you received
these boxes.
(Sam ignores the clipboard and turns away.)
SAM: So, is there no hope for me?
ANNA: No hope? At Christmas?! Christmas is all about hope.
SAM: Are you the deliverer of hope?
