Scene: Christmas Parade
Twelve men in matching uniform are drumming and marching in unison.
People around them are clapping and cheering
Suddenly, the drum line is broken as someone in a disheveled Santa Claus suit runs through them.
Some of drummers fall down. Three policemen are trying to chase the santa down.
Chris and Carol are among the revelers watching the parade. They are standing by the sago and gulaman vendor.
Vendor: Here you go.
The vendor just handed them their drink when BAM! the santa bumps into them, almost knocking them over. Chris keeps them from completely falling down. But the Santa fell down hard.
Santa: Ouch!!! Ha ha ha ! If Santa's broken, nobody gets a present! Christmas is gonna get canceled!! Ha ha ha !
The police picked the santa up. Santa's hat came off and it revealed beautiful long hair.
Police: You're a girl !! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Police: What kind of a girl are you?! Running around like this, drunk and crazy!
Police: Cuff her ! Take her away!!
Santa: I'm just having a little fun!! You people don't have any Christmas spirit....
They drag the girl away.
Chris: Carol, are you okay?
Carol: I'm fine, thank you for catching me. One sago and gulaman bath in a lifetime is quite enough!
Chris: Sure, no problem. Can you believe how some people behave? Geez!!
