​SIDE 1

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 2

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...
