Tim Allen is Scott Calvin in
The Santa Clause. Calvin is a divorced father who gets his son for Christmas. On Christmas Eve, Scott Calvin accidentally scares Santa, causing him to fall off the roof. To convince his son that he believes in Santa, Calvin puts Santa's suit on, unaware that it will turn him into Santa. The film then follows Calvin's transformation, both inside and out as he turns into Santa Claus.
A glimpse at Scott Calvin's journey into the world of believing:
Scott Calvin: Why doesn't he come in?
Charlie: Cuz Dad, he says you'll just end up saying something snotty.
Scott Calvin: Not necessarily. It could be rude or sarcastic, whatever it takes.
Charlie: Neil doesn't believe in Santa.
Scott Calvin: Well, Neil's head comes to a point.
Charlie: He's smart. He's a doctor.
Scott Calvin: He's not a doctor. He's a psychiatrist.
Charlie: Dad, he disappeared. Whoa.
Scott Calvin: He's naked somewhere.
Charlie: You're flying.
Scott Calvin: It's OK. I'm used to it. I lived through the 60's.
Scott Calvin: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. When I wake up, I'm getting a CAT Scan.
Judy: Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing.
Scott Calvin: I have to say, you look good for your age.
Judy: Thanks, but I'm seeing someone in wrapping.
Judy: Not too hot. Extra chocolate. Shaken, not stirred.
Scott Calvin: Can we take a direct flight back to reality or do we have to change planes in Denver?
Girl Student: Do you make the toys?
Boy Student: No, stupid. The elves do.
Teacher: We don't say stupid, and we don't say elves. They're little people.
Mr. Whittle: You should see a doctor, a shrink, a dietician, anything.
Doctor: I don't know Scott. You're as healthy as a horse.
Scott Calvin: Yeah! A Clydesdale.
Doctor: So what? You put on a little weight.
Scott Calvin: Weight? Does this look like a little weight to you?
Doctor: Weight can fluctuate from year to year.
Scott Calvin: Fluctuate? You make it sound like I'm retaining water. I've gained 45 pounds in a week.
Sarah: You're fatter this year.
Scott Calvin: Thank you very much.
Scott Calvin: I think the milk's a little sour.
Sarah: It's soy milk. You said you're lactose intolerant.
Scott Calvin: Oh, yeah. I did.
Neil: I'm sorry Charlie.
Charlie: That's OK, Neil. You were just denying your inner child.
Neil: You'll make a great psychiatrist one day, kid.
Charlie: No, I think I'll go into the family business.
