Shining Time Station: 'Tis a Gift (1990 TV Movie)

Lloyd Bridges: Mr. Nicholas

Quotes 

• Mr. Nicholas : I'm sure that when you were a little boy you collected ships inside of bottles!

  J.B. King : Well I'll be!

  Mr. Nicholas : I'll bet you lined them all up on a shelf in your bedroom!

  J.B. King : Yes I did! They were beautiful ships!

  Mr. Nicholas : They sure were!

  J.B. King : I wonder whatever happened to them!

• Mr. Nicholas : Nothing is impossible, unless you stop believeing in it.

• Vickie : Mr. Nicholas, are some people really all alone on Christmas?

  Mr. Nicholas : Yes, Vickie. I'm afraid so.

  Vickie : Do they all get presents?

  Mr. Nicholas : Well, that depends on what you mean by presents. You see, not all presents come wrapped in pretty paper with a ribbon or bow. A present can just be a smile, or a kind word to someone who's feeling sad or poor, or maybe a picture you've drawn.

  Vickie : But they don't cost any money.

  Mr. Nicholas : Presents don't have to cost money.
