  Waiter #1 , Waiter #2 , Waiter #3 : Deck the harrs with boughs of horry, fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra.

  [He lifts the head of the duck] 

  Chinese Father : Ooohh!

  [He chops off the duck's head. Mrs. Parker screams the she and the kids are laughing] 

  Ralphie as an Adult : That Christmas would live in our memories as the year we were introduced to Chinese turkey. And all is right with the world.

• Chinese Father : No, no, no! Stop, stop, stop! Kitchen; bring food for customers.
