national lampoon’s christmas vacation starters.

feel free to either remove the blanks or fill it in with a name.

“ we’re kicking off our fun, old-fashioned christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape.”

“ we’re not driving all the way out here so you can get one of those stupid ties with the santa clauses on it, are we?”

“ what we’re looking for today is the ___ family christmas tree.”

“ hey, look! a deer.”

“ ___, stop it! i don’t want to spend the holidays dead.”

“ we’re all right! thank god, we’re all right!”

“ ___, we’re stuck under a truck!”

“ for chrissake, i didn’t do this on purpose!”

“ didn’t they invent christmas tree lots so people wouldn’t have to drive all the way out to nowhere and waste a whole saturday?”

“ they invented them because people forgot how to have a fun, old-fashioned christmas and are satisfied with dead, scrawny, overpriced trees that have no special meaning.”

“ this is what our forefathers did. they walked out into the woods, they picked out that special tree and they cut it down with their bare hands.”

“ my toes are numb. i can’t feel my legs. i can’t feel my hips!”

“ that’s all part of the experience, honey.”

“ it’s not big, it’s just full.”

“ that thing wouldn’t fit in our yard.”

“ it’s not going in our yard, it’s going in our living room.”

“ most enduring traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin.”

“ where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big?”

“ do you think there’s enough room for the angel?”

“ it looks great. a little full. a lot of sap.”

“ they’ve decided they’re coming for christmas too.”

“ christmas is about resolving differences.”

“ all my life, i’ve wanted to have a big family christmas.”

“ when have i ever done that?”

“ you’re the last true family man.”

“ merry christmas. kiss my ass. kiss his ass. kiss your ass.”

“ ‘tis the season to be merry.”

“ that’s a christmas present from a very dear friend of mine.”

“ this is what christmas is all about.”

“ we’re gonna have the best-looking house in town.”

“ i’m sure it’s a lot of work too, but if i’m out in the cold, and i’m committed to decorating the house, i’m gonna do it right, and i’m gonna do it big.”

“ when was the last time i overdid anything?”

“ well, i don’t know what to say except it’s christmas and… we’re all in misery.”

“ hey, where do you want these reindeer?”

“ i can’t find the santa claus!”

“ in the meantime, i can light the santa and the eight, tiny reindeer and the merry christmas sign.”

“ come out, quick! look at the lights!”

“ you deserve a home like this to spend christmas in.”

“ i hope this adds to your enjoyment of the holidays.”

“ i hope it enhances your holiday spirit.”

“ help me get some hot chocolate. it’s cold.”

“ that’s a honey of a tree. is it real?”

“ can i refill your eggnog for you? get you something to eat?”

“ well, have a really merry christmas.”

“ are you santa claus?”

“ no, i’m not santa claus. wish i was.”

“ if you’ve been good all year round, santa claus is gonna bring you something.”

“ sometimes i think all that santa crap is just bull.”

“ well i happen to know for a fact that santa claus is real.”

“ are you sure you ain’t santy claus?”

“ oh, you didn’t have to buy me anything.”

“ if this turkey tastes half as good as it looks, i think we’re in for a very big treat.”

“ if you keep it up, it will be your last christmas.”

“ look what you’ve done to my tree!”

“ it was an ugly tree anyway.”

“ hallelujah! holy shit, where’s the tylenol?”

“ we needed a coffin - uh, i mean tree.”

“ this is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here.”

“ we’re gonna press on and we’re gonna have the hap-hap-happiest christmas since bing crosby tap-danced with danny kaye!”

“ when santa squeezes his fat ass down that chimney tonight, he’s gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nut house.”

“ our holidays were always such a mess.”

“ ho, ho, ho! merry christmas, ___!”

stephen had been keeping an eye on elaine between his rounds and surgeries. the feelings he had for the blonde weren't as strong as they were before. he didn't feel quite as obsessive. did he still want her? yes. did he think she deserved better than that idiot green? "oh good you're awake this time." he commented leaning against the door frame. "tough shit, you're getting it whether you want it or not." he walked closer to her. "so still think you made the right choice? hmm dating that idiot mayor did so good for you huh? i'll give you another chance. one last opportunity to stand by my side, to have the power of gods. it would make getting revenge on the person who did this to you so much easier." @fcrafcrtnight

SHE DID NOT LIKE TO BE SEEN AS WEAK. IF ANYTHING, IT WAS WHAT SHE TESTED THE MOST AND.. NO, SHE DID NOT THINK THAT WOULD BE CHANGING ANYTIME SOON. and so, she focused on being angry, because she was so much better at that and always had been, hadn't she? yes. this? what had happened? it hadn't killed her, as much as she was sure that little shit would have liked it and.. well, that had been his mistake. leaving her alive. no more. "whatever you want, it's going to have to wait. i don't want company." @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"that wasn't what i was talking about but sure." the woman was pretty but she didn't stand out to him. she seemed as boring as everyone else in this city. maybe if he was still living his old life under cazador he would have pulled her, would have taken her to him. now though? now that he had his freedom he had no interest. "not so bad myself? i'm insulted. i'm the most gorgeous being in this city." @fcdcdmcmories

❝ god. everyone says that like it’s so easy. ❞ (from astarion)

"WHAT, BEING ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS? IT CAN BE EFFORTLESS.. FOR SOME OF US, AT LEAST." she threw her hair over her shoulder, looking the other up and down. he was not that bad himself and it wasn't as if she was tied down to edgar, was it? no, she was her own person, thank you very much and she could do whatever the hell it was that she wanted. YES? "you're not so bad yourself, but.. i couldn't agree more. it does take a lot of work." / @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

had he said that out loud? he looked down at the glass of wine in front of him. this had been what his third? he had hoped it would taste better the more he consumed. perhaps even if it, like all human drinks, tasted like vinegar it still had an effect on him. it certainly seemed to loosen his tongue. "oh, darling, you wouldn't believe me if i told you." no it seemed everything he knew from back home was the stuff of stories here. besides the woman who claimed to be karlach no one seemed to know what a tiefling was or believe in vampires and elves. well there was that strange vampire woman but she didn't count in his head. "you'd think i'm mad if i told you all the details." he shook his head. "let's just say i spend a long time in a not so healthy relationship. just got out of it and well... i seem to just attract trouble lately. my mind it might not be my own much longer." @daydrcamings

@bejcwcled - ❝ i’ve always had a complicated relationship with my own existence. ❞

an uneasy chuckle left eddie as he slowly nodded his head. "yeah... i can... can relate to that. even if that is something pretty heavy to be admitting." he teased, having to add some humour to things or he wouldn't be able to continue. "you wanna talk about it?" eddie questioned with a raise of his brow. "whatever you wanna say? it... it can stay between us." he offered, smiling kindly at the other. "i'm probably not able to offer much in the way of advice though..."

[bejcwcled]

the more this man talked the more confused lestat got. "what are you talking about what route? i- i'm not pretending if that's what you think. what happened? i- i don't know." the hurt in this man's voice was leading him to believe this was an old boyfriend; however, he couldn't place a name to this face for the life of him. he had married nicki right out of college and been with him for most of those four years. could it have been a shorter relationship during his partying phase? god no don't let it be from high school. "play what? you seem to think i have much crueler intentions than i do. i- help me out here. remind me of when we met. college? was it at a party? i don't remember much of my own dating history from that time. were we serious? if it was high school well i blocked most of that out." @daydrcamings

he couldn't really blame lestat for the reaction, even if it was proving childish to pretend not to know him. "so that's the route we are going, is it? that you have somehow forgotten who i am? what... what happened?" louis questioned with a raise of his brow. perhaps it was understandable given what had happened. what... he had done to lestat. he exhaled slowly, looking at the man before him. "if that is the way you wish to play this? fine. i am not going to beg you to remember me, lestat. i will not beg for your attention." even if it was killing him. even despite everything... he would... always hold a torch for lestat. @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

she had thought this was a good idea: going up to the man and asking him his name, if he was adopted. perhaps not the most normal or polite way to start a conversation but she couldn't just keep wondering. ever since she found out from her parents she had an older brother who had been adopted she'd been dying to find him. this man here seemed like a good option. he looked so much like her father and brother. "i just had a couple questions. is there any chance you were adopted? you just really look like my dad. here i can pull up a picture." she said pulling out her phone and scrolling to find a good picture. @fcrafcrtnight

HE FELT AS IF HE WAS MISSING SOMETHING. AND THAT WASN'T.. SOMETHING THAT FINN PEDERSON HAD EVER LIKED. was it? if anything, he did feel as if he was in the dark about what truly mattered and right now, he didn't know how to move on from that. did he even want to? did he even want to know what he was missing? right now, he didn't happen to think so, that was for sure. "what do you want?" he noticed that someone had been glancing at him for some time now and no, he didn't want that. "i'm not in the mood for company at all." @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"well it looks like the world might be ending today. that is if you want to get to class anywhere remotely on time. i might be able to break the lock for you." he wasn't one hundred percent certain he could but it gave him an excuse to be here. an excuse to talk to her. he could not pass that up. "you know the whole logan and dropping out of yale thing? can't say i particularly remember the reason. got a little preoccupied by you throwing away your dreams and hard work. who am i? c'mon, rory, this isn't funny. i know our relationship didn't end on the best of terms but the asshole comment and pretending you don't know me is going a bit far." @fcrafcrtnight

"NO, THANKS. THE DAY THAT I NEED A MAN'S HELP IS THE DAY THAT THE WORLD HAS OFFICIALLY FALLEN APART." rory scoffed, glancing in the other's direction or rather.. almost.. well, glaring at him. right now? she didn't know what the hell was this but then again, she didn't care. she just wanted to go home, so she could return to work. there was nothing more important. better. right? "trophy wife? i beg your pardon? who the hell are you, asshole?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

until this moment loki didn't think he had a fear of the police. sure he had caused a few pranks in his youth that got him in trouble at school but he had grown out of that behavior. he couldn't be in trouble. but even reminding himself of that didn't shut off the warning bells going off in his head. something about this woman was telling him not to trust her. "i- sure." he answered mostly because he wasn't sure if he really could say no. "a mugging? no i don't think i did. i was distracted by narfi and vali here. they keep tangling up their leashes. pretty sure they're trying to trip me." he shook his head before gesturing at the two huskies he was walking. "have you checked the cctv yet? that's probably going to be more reliable than anything people could tell you. but i shouldn't tell you how to do your job." @demongemz

The power that radiated off this one was immediately something she couldn’t ignore, one blast alone from him would power her for centuries, and yet something about him screamed unknown and the perfect victim for her. “Hello there Sir, I was wondering can I take a moment of your time?” She questioned calling him over to her after all, what better way to get a better read on him than by doing her job? “ I’m Detective Harkness, We’ve just had a mugging happen and I was wondering if you saw anything suspicious?” @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

"let me guess he's a wizard or some other type of spellcaster. or has he also been blessed with one of these lovely tadpoles?" he asked rolling his eyes. the second option to him seemed more likely than the first. it certainly would explain how they were all here. "that and i just refuse to take crap from anyone anymore. i have my freedom and i'm not going to let anyone take that away from me." he didn't care if what he was saying made any sense. "yeah well it was that or starve. i was eating boars and other things in the wild my last few days before arriving here. none of it ever did anything to my eyes though." @fcrafcrtnight

"NO, BUT MY BROTHER WAS. HE COULD READ MINDS AND.. IT NEVER MADE HIM BETTER OFF." shaking her head. she didn't particularly like thinking about what she had left behind and as of right now, rosalie had a feeling that it was ALWAYS going to affect her. DIDN'T SHE? YES, SHE DID. and yet, in here, she could get the chance to be free and.. what was more important than that? nothing in the slightest, no. "that would make two of us. going down without a fight is so absolutely lame, wouldn't you say?" she only laughed. "rats? how incredibly uncivilised. no, i mean the occasional mountain lion or deer. hm?" @bejcwcled

[bejcwcled]

lestat had just been going to get a drink. he was feeling worn out. it didn't feel like winter break could come quick enough. he loved his job but sometimes the children were too much. he needed a moment to himself, to be himself. "uh no? we just happened to be going in the same direction." he answered shaking his head at the man. he hadn't really noticed him until he started speaking and now that he had... well he wondered how he hadn't been paying attention before. this man was one of the most beautiful people he'd ever seen. his eyes? he felt a desire to write music about them. "...um thank you. do i know you from somewhere? you sound like you know me. i'm afraid i'm not putting a name to your face." @daydrcamings

@bejcwcled

louis had hoped that this place could be a fresh start. that... he could try to move on. to try to be happy. but... he should have known that wouldn't be the case, would it? that try as he might... he would never get over lestat. "did you follow me here?" louis questioned with a raise of his brow. he knew he shouldn't question that given... the last time he had seen lestat was at the masquerade ball. "you're looking well." louis mused, trying not to take in the other's appearance too much.

how interesting he got the woman to blush and he hadn't even pulled out one of his well practiced lines. perhaps she was an easier mark than he thought. "we only what?" oh whatever claim she was going to make would be fascinating. a lie but also a good source of entertainment. "i'm pretty sure i don't." the voice did sound familiar, she sounded so much like karlach but he couldn't get past her looking human. "woke up like this? are- so you were kidnapped too? was it the mindflayers again? i swear the last thing i need is another tadpole." none of this was making any sense. "if you're really her than prove it." this felt like dealing with a bad shapeshifter. @thefinalgxrl

Karlach didn’t blush easily, but she felt heat creep up her neck now. “It wasn’t…wasn’t like that,” she mumbled, scuffing at the ground with her toe. “We didn’t -- we only -- ” She lapsed into a furiously embarrassed silence, her eyes studying the ground. She looked up as he spoke, a smile breaking across her face. “So you do know me!” she crowed, dancing excitedly from foot to foot. She could work with this. “I am her, I swear! It’s not a trick! I dunno why I look so different here. I woke up like this.” She frowned. “I miss the horn, to be honest with you. I thought it made me look cool. But the not-being-on-fire thing is pretty nice.” @bejcwcled

"and what would you know about what i'm like on the inside? you a mind reader?" or maybe she also had a tadpole? no, no he would have sensed if she had tried going in his head like that. perhaps she was just bluffing then, making assumptions. "maybe not. i don't go down without a fight." no he had no plans to let another vampire lay their hands on him ever again. two hundred years of cazador's abuse had been more than enough. "i lived off of rats for two hundred years. it never did anything to my appearance. no something is wrong with you. you must be some other kind of creature." @fcrafcrtnight

"OH, I'M SURE THAT YOU ARE. ON THE OUTSIDE, PERHAPS. ON THE INSIDE... I DON'T THINK SO." she hummed, glancing over at the other, because.. someone told her that she had found someone that was worth her time. was that the case? right now, she supposed that she was about to find out, one way or another. right? not that she was about to admit it. that she did not do. not in the slightest. "if i couldn't handle an insult, your head would have left your shoulders a long time ago. HM?" she shrugged. "clearly, you morons have never tried drinking animal blood instead of anything else. does wonders for the skin." @bejcwcled

jess was running late for his shift. he had gotten distracted working on his manuscript and forgot to leave. he knew he should have set some sort of alarm. he was hoping to sneak in unnoticed when someone offered him a table. "no? i work here. started just last week. i can take over greeting people once i clock in." @fcrafcrtnight

HELPING OUT AT HIS BROTHER'S RESTAURANT WAS.. TEMPORARY. at least, that was what jeffrey was telling himself, in order to avoid the rest. he had always been in parker's shadow. as they were growing up, as they were moving here - it was all.. it was all something that he would prefer to not think about anytime soon. his brother was a good person, but.. maybe, he should stop resenting him that much. right? "welcome. can i find you a table? BRINGING THAT MENU RIGHT OFF THE BAT. WE'VE GOT SOME SPECIALS." @bejcwcled

"i've never heard such an obvious statement. of course i'm worth your time. i'm a delight." he wanted to roll his eyes so badly at her but he had to keep on his mask, keep up the appearance of someone enticing. it was what he knew best ... well really all he had known for the last two hundred years besides cazador's cruelty. "what you can't handle an insult? no backbone? that's quite sad. for a second i'd thought i'd found a kindred spirit." he sighed and shook his head. "no that's not possible. cazador, my siblings they all have red eyes. you can't be- this is some kind of trick then isn't it? alright what's the spell that changed your eye color?" @fcrafcrtnight

"AND I COULD SAY YES, IF I COULD BE BOTHERED. REGARDLESS, I HAVE YET TO REALISE IF YOU ARE WORTH MY TIME OR NOT, SO.. WE SHALL SEE." rosalie titled her head to the side, watching the other quite closely, because.. right now, she was still trying to figure out if he was indeed worth her time. after everything that had happened, she had started keeping to herself and.. well, it was better off like this. at least, she could breathe. "ah. and here i was, thinking that i had found someone worth giving a second of my time to. apparently, i was wrong." rolling her eyes. seriously? with the insults? oof. "ding, ding. maybe someone is not as smart as he thinks. try again, darling?" @bejcwcled

"no that's not how this works. i'm not a spy for your sister nor am i someone you can treat like crap. no you're lucky i don't kill you just for showing me that attitude." he wasn't sure where that threat had come from but it felt right. he was tired of being walked all over by this family. "not a scrap. your loss. your hospital's prestige would have gone up with me." @fcrafcrtnight

"YOUR NAME IS WHATEVER I SAY IT IS. YOU CAME HERE TO SPY FOR MY SISTER AND SO, YOU'RE GOING TO BE TREATED HOW I SEE FIT THAT YOU ARE TREATED. IS THAT ALL?" what did he have now? a tremendous lack of patience and it was already bad enough that elaine was winning over them in er times, because of that incompetent idiot that he had to call a daughter. just the fact that they were even related? that made him.. angry. right? "ah, no. that's not going to happen. nice try but.. we don't accept elaine's scraps here." @bejcwcled
