SIDE 1

CHARLIE-IN-THE-BOX

And who, may I ask, are you?

RUDOLPH

We're Rudolph, and Hermey, and Yukon Cornelius. Who are you?

CHARLIE-IN-THE-BOX

I'm the official Sentry of the Island of the Misfit Toys!

HERMEY

A Jack-in-the-Box for a sentry?

CHARLIE-IN-THE-BOX

Yes, my name is...

RUDOLPH

Don't tell me - Jack?

CHARLIE-IN-THE-BOX

No. Charlie!

(starts to cry)

That's why I'm a misfit toy. My name is all wrong. No child wants to play with a Charlie-In-The-Box. So I had to come here…

SIDE 2

CLARICE

Rudolph! Rudolph!

RUDOLPH

Well - what do you want?

CLARICE

You - you promised to walk me home.

RUDOLPH

Aren't you going to laugh at my nose too?

CLARICE

I think it's a handsome nose. Much better than that silly false one you were wearing.

RUDOLPH

It's terrible. It's different from everybody else's.

CLARICE

But that's what makes it so grand. Why, any doe would consider herself lucky to be with you.

RUDOLPH

Yeah, but I wasn't very lucky today was I? I wish... I wish…

CLARICE

So - that was today. Tomorrow's a whole new day!

RUDOLPH

Yeah?

CLARICE

Of course.

SIDE 3

FIREBALL

Hi, my name's Fireball - what's yours?

RUDOLPH

Roodolf.

FIREBALL

C'mon - you can be my buddy.

RUDOLPH

Wure we goin'?

FIREBALL

To the Reindeer Games! Makes antlers grow. Besides, it's a great place to show off in front of the does! C'mon!

(CLARICE waves at RUDOLPH.)

(FIREBALL)

Hey - whadda y'know?! One of 'em likes ya! Ha ha!

RUDOLPH

Yeah, Fireball, you really think so?

(A whistle blows.)

FIREBALL

Uh - oh - here comes the Coach!

COACH COMET

Alright! Alright, yearlings - alright now. That's better. My name is Coach Comet, and even though I'm your instructor, I want to be your pal. Right? Right. My job is to make full-grown reindeer out of you. So - let's go!

(whistle blow)

Now then, our first game is called Take Off. We all want to pull Santa's sleigh someday, don't we?

​SIDE 4

KING MOONRACER

Come closer. What do you desire?

RUDOLPH

Well, we’re a couple of misfits from Christmastown. And now, we’d like to live here.

KING MOONRACER

No – that would not be possible. You see, this island is for toys alone.

YUKON

How do ya like that – even among misfits, you’re misfits!

KING MOONRACER

Unlike playthings, a living creature cannot hide himself on an island. But perhaps, being misfits yourselves, you might help the toys here.

RUDOLPH

Help them?

KING MOONRACER

Yes. When someday you return to Christmastown, would you tell Santa about our homeless toys? I’m sure he could find little boys and girls who would be happy with them. A toy is never truly happy until it is loved by a child.

SIDE 5

RUDOLPH

Uh - mister - where are we going?

YUKON

You're gonna stay with me. And we'll all be rich. With the biggest silver strike this side of Hudson Bay! Silver…

HERMEY

I thought you wanted gold!

YUKON

I changed my mind. But silver or gold, that's just the first step, my curly-toed compadre.

HERMEY

First step to what?

YUKON

Fame and fortune, as the old song goes.

RUDOLPH

Fame and fortune? What's that?

YUKON

Well, buckaroo, it's anything you want... whatever it is that's waiting for you out there in that great frozen beyond!

RUDOLPH

But I don't know what's waiting for me! Or what I want!

YUKON

You will soon enough... in the meantime, the old song could provide us all some inspire-a-shun… And it goes something like this...
