Al: Tim "The Elf Man" Taylor.
Maureen Binford: Oh, now, don't be such a grinch. You looked adorable. I've got a wonderful surprise.
Tim: You joined a convent and took a vow of silence.
Maureen Binford: No, silly. I have booked some very special musical guests for our Christmas show. Guess who? Time's up! Manhattan Transfer!
Tim: Manhattan Transfer? Didn't you think about checking with me?
Maureen Binford: Tim, are you forgetting? [singsong] Producer! Besides, who did you want me to book? Those musical barking dogs that sing "Jingle Bells"?
Tim: Yes! We were trying to get them for three years.
Al: They won't do a cable show.
