[Music]
man it's cold out there
always remember to bundle up when you go
out especially if it's in a cold climate
people always exaggerate that cold
climate weather don't they we be careful
today your skin could freeze in 3
seconds do what I do open that window
put your hand out 1 2
you're not gonna freeze my skin and
snowball fights are great aren't they
take it hit in the air with that
snowball I am NOT crying I'm going in ok
and even though you got hit in the air
you'd always limp where's your dad knew
what was going on what are you limping
for Lilly snowball so when you go out
you'd have a snowball fight remember put
some protective ear gear on 15 feet of
snow sub-zero temperatures didn't get
frostbite by just looking out the window
and what does the fine city of Cedar
Knoll do we have a winter carnival
outdoors here we go
are you warm enough mama are you boys
ready for the winter carnival we're not
going this year that's right we're
taking us about a call what's the matter
did you see the temperature only a freak
would go out in this kind of weather did
I hear someone call me a freak jeez
Tommy that wasn't nice at all
don't worry dad he meant it as a
compliment yeah little stuffy in here
whoa this isn't called when I had the
bivouac on that floating glacier for a
month it was so cold my blood froze
wishes mouth would freeze really well
what if it froze like this okay okay I
take it back
Andy stop scaring the kids you know it
might not be such a bad idea to take a
year off from the Winter Carnival
it's family against family out there how
are they Andersen supposed to win if we
don't even show up
but Dad last year we came in last year
before we get even worse I figured it
all if we don't show up this year we'll
get our best score ever I don't believe
what I'm hearing
it's just it you get so competitive
every year it's not good for you I don't
get competitive Hey look at that logs
burning faster than yours
the carnival's supposed to be fun listen
a minute for the fire cutthroat
competition squashing the enemy and
humiliating the neighbors who's with me
quash the enemy cutthroat competition
humiliate the neighbors that's right hmm
yeah what he said twice over hey Tommy
see that castle it's made out of candy
not what I want to you not me I'm
working the skate Shack that's a real
life and could I use your muscle pushing
my slab
a little heavier this year isn't it mr.
to dessert a night well good luck out
there anything about luck this is all
about skill courage
kissing up to the judges hey there's
nothing wrong with handing out a few
boxes of fine chocolates no judges work
hard has anyone seen Tommy he falls for
that every year dumb kid very fine
Jensen
what are those C&I jugs remember to take
that second turn high on the outside
don't worry about me baby I'll make you
proud now you two be careful while
you're watching your old man bring home
the car we're covered in 30 pounds of
winter wear how can we possibly hurt
ourselves that hurt well if it isn't
little Louisiana how does it feel to
know that in about five minutes
my dad's gonna beat the pants off your
dad again
feels about Klimas last year how many
times do I have to tell you son you're
all concerned with the enemy you called
that a snowball Glen hi dad

said all winter look at him he's not
even crying sorry dad well going for a
new record this year 15 losses in a row
and I'm Andy you don't have to take that
kind of abuse don't worry about it honey
the joke's on him was 15 losses in a row
last
[Applause]
just a little tip Anderson up for next
year you go faster if you're on top of
the sled anyone can stand top of the
sled I was born for something more
challenging you need hmm I'm sorry aura
you know if you want you could be an
honorary Groot alone for the rest of the
carnival why would I want to do that I
didn't mean anything by it
it's just wouldn't you like to see what
it's like to actually score points in
the carnival well that's sweet of you
kitty
but don't worry about the Andersons we
won 20 years ago
so we're do you just watch and when
exactly does this miracle comeback begin
with the cedar Knoll classic I'll be
skating it myself
interesting I guess there's nothing left
to say except see ya nice Oh Thunder 50
degrees below zero with the windchill
came in dead last and dogsled race and I
had a snowball for lunch it's a great
day
don't you remember my older sister Lana
[Music]
she's on the figure skating teeth
Jeannie was the closest thing I had to a
girlfriend Lana
well Lana was a woman at that moment it
hit me
I knew Lana Harper and I were meant to
be together nothing could keep us apart
okay so maybe one thing could give us
apart is there no one who has the grace
to skate with me I said no one would I
had to do I have four hours to learn how
to skate
I'm already candy let's get at it looks
like we'll be racing pics to each other
[Applause]
[Music]
one hardcore comb put a hat on it there

what's on your mind can you teach me how
to skate now Louie I haven't been on
skates in 30 years I just fall and break
every bone in my body I already know how
to do that
oh no there's a teacher for you fifty
cents
oh thanks for the family discount Andy
Anderson 20 years of winter carnival
competition over 15 events per carnival
you know that's over 400 losses in a row
good for you Oh Williams finally
mastered those advanced mathematics yeah
how do all those losses make you feel
it's all how you look just see I'm just
getting all my losses out of the way
right up front good any day now the
parents gonna turn so tell me do you
think the ice carving contest could be
your event some people look at an ice
cube and see the way to cool their drink
I look at an ice cube and I see poetry

stand back there and watch this modern
day Mecca Angela make some art kit

was thinking what do you want to learn
Fred let's not get too ambitious right
away
how about standing
[Music]
never get in the Olympic whose way
[Applause]
[Music]
you'll never learn anything now get up
listen oh I was wondering you know I was
a student of scanning what I have to do
anything different if I were skating
with someone I'll say tar no not really
what about skating with someone who's
older who's way older actually there's a
little different skating with someone
taller and older somebody's cranky
thanks for the lesson I know you you're
Lenny right actually employee many and
then moving right well you be careful
now and keep on practicing Lenny I'm
sure you want to be ready to skate at
the big dance tonight yes I couldn't
believe it unless I was reading
something into it she wanted to skate
with me at the dance tonight she was
gonna be mine all mine it was me and
Lana forever
do you look like you lost your best
friend maybe I have you know Jenny when
I was a little girl I brought my dog to
the skating rink of the Winter Carnival
he got lost too want to know what
happened he fell through the ice and
drown heavens no that didn't happen
though years later no he went off
chasing rabbits clear across the other
side of the pond did he catch him nope
but he came back I guess he just had to
go to the other side of the pond to
realize that he was much happier and
when he was next to me that's a nice
story now if you'll excuse me I've had
one too many hot chocolate and I'm
wearing far too many layers of long
underwear if you know I mean I've been
there hay bale out now for I am the
cheese you could not find water in Lake
Michigan this is a chunk of Wisconsin's
finest cheddar cheese sliced by the
mayor of Cedar Knoll himself don't worry
dad you'll find a way what's the secret
weapon meat little boy lured here he's
gonna leave us the cheese heaven but Dad
the guy said the trunk was made out of
bronze details details
now he's pointing is this is a great
plan done tell you what you give me a
call when you get the cheese heaven and
I'll cut your care

of cheese that's beautiful gotta say I

cheese boy quit calling me that

dear old dad we're doing steel some
other SAP stick no I am a partner and
the best partner in tone and what's the
problemo
I'm the worst skater in town oh so
ashamed
Louie let me give you a piece of advice
then a sweet little girl once gave my
the Winter Carnival is not about the
competition it's not about who's the
best photos the worst or beating the
pants off the neighbors unless of course
it's Simpson that lizard no the Winter
Carnival is for one thing fine fine fine
your mother's right about things and
even though she's not here right now
I convention wherever she is she's
having a fine then honoring the spirit
of the winner got your lady
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you know you're a neighbor and a friend
so we paid for first place and I was
about to slide around a frozen lake with
a woman of my dreams and a thing I
didn't even want to go to the Winter
Carnival this morning hey milk was
thrown over for an incredibly swamp
good-looking guy named Milton hey Lenny

Jeanne Lewis thanks a lot
and
I'm sorry for what cuz cuz maybe you
thought you were older than you are
yeah that and I'm sorry for that and and

be with you was right next to you the
whole time
give it a rest oh I've heard of your
Yakkity Yakkity Yakkity all day it's my
job yeah are you size 9 or what how do

the carnival continued long after the
Sun went down the temperature probably
dipped into the negative 100's but I
didn't care
maybe it was the skating maybe it was
the company or maybe it was frostbite
