  [the crowd blames Danny, who then gets hit by a laser blast from Jack and Maddie] 

  Maddie Fenton : [shouts]  You've ruined our night!

  Jack Fenton : [firing a blast]  Drink some anti-ghost tonic!

  [Danny's mouth goes intangible to avoid the blast] 

  Danny Phantom : Wait, I've ruined their night? How's that for ironic?

  [he flies away from the crowd] 

  Ghost Writer : So Danny did soar through the crisp evening...

  Danny Phantom : [to Ghost Writer]  Look! / What's a guy got to do to get out of this book?

  Ghost Writer : And then Danny thought...

  Danny Phantom : Wait. My problem is clear. / This poem's about Christmas, which is here, here, and here. / This curse will stay on me from my town to Rome. / But he can't Christmas me in a non-Christmas home.

• [ghost Christmas trees are attacking Amity Park; the Fentons watch the news on TV]

  Lance Thunder : [surprised]  Not the face! Not the face!

  [the Fentons turn off the TV] 

  Jack Fenton : [to Maddie]  Anybody seen Danny?

  Jazz Fenton : [walks off with anger in her mind]  Like I even care.

  Maddie Fenton : What's wrong with you, Jasmine? Your brother's out there! / Hold down the fort, Jack! I'll go after our tot! / Those trees will not stop me!

  [she jumps out the window]

• [at FentonWorks] 

  Ghost Writer : But Danny's grim yuletide was only beginning. / And later that night, as his patience was thinning...

  Jack Fenton : [slides down the chimney]  See! A fat man can fit down the chimney! Here's proof!

  Maddie Fenton : That still won't explain how he gets on the roof!

  Ghost Writer : And Young Fenton sat there, just steaming and fuming...

  [Danny looks out the window] 

  Ghost Writer : His blood pressure rising, his anger consuming...

  Danny Fenton : [shouts]  I won't keep this up!

  Ghost Writer : ...Danny said to the Writer.

  Danny Fenton : There's no poem if I'm silent.

  Jazz Fenton : Can't you make Dad not fight her?

  [Danny screams in frustration] 

  Ghost Writer : [to Danny]  You think this is over? It's barely begun! / This psalm doesn't end 'til the lesson is done!

  Danny Fenton : And you think that I'll learn it? You think you're that tough?

  [sees his parents arguing] 

  Jack Fenton : [shouts]  He exists!

  Maddie Fenton : [shouts]  No he doesn't!

  Ghost Writer : Then Dan screamed:

  Danny Fenton : Enough! / I'm sick of your fighting! Can you please let this die? / You've ruined each Christmas! Each Christmas, and I / Can't take anymore of this war, am I clear? / Fourteen years is enough! I am so out of here!

  [walks out the door] 

  Maddie Fenton : Hmm? What's got into him?

  Jack Fenton : He takes after his mother.

  Jazz Fenton : [sees Danny outside the window]  Can't blame you for losing your cool, little brother. / Go ahead, clear your head, and I think you'll be fine.

  [the Ghost Writer sends the Fenton Family's presents to attack Danny; Jazz sees them following him] 

  Jazz Fenton : [angrily]  ... but taking our presents is crossing the line!

• [in the Ghost Zone, Ghost Writer devises a trap for Danny by inviting him into a room filled with ghosts] 

  Skulker : We've been waiting for you.

  Ghost Writer : Skulker said with a grin.

  The Box Ghost : Now our holiday party can finally begin!

  [the spotlights come on and illuminate two Christmas trees to Danny's surprise] 

  Skulker : Eat, drink, and be merry!

  Ember : Have some warm Christmas goose!

  The Box Ghost : For surely you know of our annual truce!

  Ghost Writer : [shocked]  The truce! It's still holding? I thought they'd suspend it / To beat on their foe!

  Skulker : Oh, this truce, we defend it!

• [Danny Phantom finds the presents are restored and sent to their homes by the ghosts from the Ghost Zone] 

  The Box Ghost : The Box Ghost shall conquer this holiday doom!

  Lunch Lady Ghost : We just couldn't leave you to suffer in gloom.

  Skulker : [with an arm cannon]  Tomorrow you'll see what *this* baby can do! /... But all ghosts share the truce... even half-ghosts like you.

• Danny Fenton : [to the ghosts, about the Ghost Writer's curse]  I'm trapped in this story. The guy's off his nut!

  Skulker : He ought to know better!

  The Box Ghost : Let's go kick his butt!
