Tear Jerker / The Santa Clause 2

• Charlie's tearful confession that he can never admit to anyone that when all his friends brag about their father's jobs, he has to lie despite the fact that his dad has the best job of them all.
  • Okay, let's face it, any time Eric Lloyd cries it's a Tear Jerker; the guy has got some serious talent.
• The scene that gets to the root of Charlie's behavior. He's so jealous that other kids always get to be with their dads and resents having to be a Secret-Keeper when his dad has the coolest job ever.
  • Not helping is that Charlie ends up on the naughty list when he begins lashing out and becomes a full-blown delinquent at school. You can hear the disbelief in Scott's voice when he sees his son's name on the list and thinks it's a mistake. Unfortunately, he quickly finds out that things really have gotten that bad at home.
• The way Scott sadly says "You cost me, Pamela" after listening to her at the community center, using up some of his rapidly dwindling magic to do so. Scott can't not be Santa, and he is quickly losing his ability to do so.
