The Old Man: [admiring Randy sleeping in the mess of gift wrap] My god, would you look at that mess? Who's going to clean the papers up?
Ralphie: Not me.
The Old Man: Oh, really? Randy did it last year.
Ralphie: Well, he can do it again.
The Old Man: You know, this wine ain't bad. You want a sip?
Ralphie: Yeah.
Mother: No, you don't. Did you have a nice Christmas?
Ralphie: Yeah, pretty nice.
The Old Man: Yeah? Did you get everything you wanted?
Ralphie: [thinking about not getting the BB gun] Well, almost.
The Old Man: Almost, huh? Well, that's life. Well, there's always next Christmas.
Ralphie: Yep.
The Old Man: [feigns a surprised look] Hey. That's funny. What's that over there behind the desk?
Ralphie: Where?
The Old Man: Uh...behind the desk against the wall over there... Go check it out. Go on.
[Ralphie goes to the desk and pulls out a large present]
Mother: What did we put over there, honey?
The Old Man: [stammers] Uh, Santa Claus probably put it.
Ralphie: [opens gift to see a Red Ryder BB gun] WOW! [Mother is not pleased at the sight of the BB gun, The Old Man laughs, Ralphie takes the gun out of the box]
Ralphie as an Adult: [narrating] Oh, it was beautiful! I can't hardly wait to try it out.
The Old Man: Do you know how to load it?
Ralphie: Yeah. [loads gun]
The Old Man: C-careful. They'll run all over... Close it up, close it up.
Ralphie: [delighted] Can I... Can I try it out, Ma? Can I?
The Old Man: Sure.
Mother: [reluctantly] Okay. But outside. Oh... I still say those things are dangerous. [Ralphie leaves] No, no! Put on your galoshes and your coat. It's cold out! [looks at The Old Man, not pleased]
The Old Man: But...I had one when I was eight years old.
Mother: What if he hurts himself? Ralphie, your coat! Don't shoot any animals or birds!
The Old Man: Except the Bumpuses' dogs!
Mother: Oh, hush. Be careful, Ralphie!
