Quotes
Jessica Riggs:
I don't think all of this is necessary. He's probably used to being around people.
Orel Benton:

Goofs
When we first see the close-up shot of the Christmas display (with Prancer intact) being raised up downtown, one of the railroad crossing arms is up though we can hear the bells ringing and a train approaching. The following long shot shows the crossing arms completely down with their lights flashing.
