Inspector Clouseau: “I didn’t know you had a twin brother. Tell me what you saw.”
Santa: “I’d just put Jimmy’s train set under the tree when I looked out this window. Are we in France, Inspector?
“Iowa, USA. Please, I know it’s hard. What did you see?”
“It was horrible. They didn’t have a chance. By the time I got outside, Krampus stood over Dasher, laughing. Are they all — even Rudolph?
