What is the name
of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?
:06:05
Victor. His name is Victor.
:06:07
- How the hell did you know that?
- Everybody knows that.
:06:12
That's another one of your silly puzzles?
:06:15
Yeah, it's another one of our silly puzzles.
:06:17
Could be worth $50,000.
:06:22
What kind is it this time?
:06:24
Name the great characters
in American literature.
:06:28
Victor?
The Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?
:06:31
Meanwhile, I struggled
for exactly the right BB gun hint.
:06:35
It had to be firm, but subtle.
:06:36
Flick says he saw some grizzly bears
near Pulaski's candy store.
:06:45
They looked at me as if
I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.
:06:50
I could tell that I was in imminent danger
of over-playing my hand.
:06:55
Casually, I switched tactics.
:06:57
Hey, Dad!
:07:00
I'll bet you'll never guess
what I got you for Christmas.
:07:05
A new furnace.
:07:08
That's a good one, Dad.
:07:11
My old man was one
of the most feared furnace-fighters...
:07:14
in northern Indiana.
:07:16
Hurry up,
you're going to be late for school.
:07:19
Yeah. I'm running late already.
:07:22
Round one was over.
:07:24
Parents, one.
:07:26
Kids, zip.
:07:28
I could feel the Christmas noose
beginning to tighten.
:07:31
Maybe what happened next
was inevitable.
:07:34
Ralphie, what would you like
for Christmas?
:07:37
Horrified, I heard myself blurt it out.
:07:39
I want an official Red Ryder carbine action
200-shot range model air rifle.
:07:45
No. Shoot your eye out.
:07:47
Oh, no! It was
the classic mother-BB gun block.
:07:51
"You'll shoot your eye out."
:07:53
That deadly phrase uttered
many times before by hundreds...
:07:56
of mothers was not surmountable...
:07:59
by any means known to kid-dom.
