Good gumdrops, Lincoln.
I got this all wrong.
Risking your life to save Christmas,
rescuing your family, saving me just now,

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?

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!
