One day you're playing Kick the Can

with kids named Flick and Schwartz.

- I triple dog dare ya!

-The next thing you know, you're a certified adult.

- Ralphie! - Ralphie!

- Hey! - Ralph, to your old man.

- "Fra-gi-le."

- He was the best.

-Grandma! - [cheering]

- Ralphie, promise me

we're gonna make this a wonderful Christmas.

That would make your father so happy.

- I promise.

What have I done? And now it was all up to me?

- I suggest you start drinkin' and don't stop till New Year's.
