Good gumdrops, Lincoln.

I got this all wrong.

Risking your life to save Christmas,

rescuing your family, saving me just now,

and the magic?

You do belong on the Nice List!

[sighs] No I don't.

I'm not all nice.

But I'm not all naughty.

Huh. I guess it's not as simple as I made it.

What do you mean?

I was so dug into my coding and algorithms,

I-I...

I didn't see what makes a person a person.

You mean the data does lie?

Well, it's just not enough.

You showed me, Lincoln.

No one's just one thing.

I guess what it boils down to is...

who do you want to be?

Oh and, Loud family,

don't come any closer

or you'll become a baker's dozen.

Leave them out of this!

I'm the one you want, right?

[laughs] You're right, Lincoln.

Might as well join up.

Heck, you might even take over for me one day!

You already got the white hair.

I'll never join you!

Then I guess it's Christmas cookies for everybody,

starting with Lincoln's new best friend!
