Voice: "It came Upon a midnight clear..." Mike: Good thing it wasn't overcast. What is it, Bernie? Bernie: Just a little something I whipped up in the lab last night. Merry Christmas! Mike: But what's it do? Bernie: You'll see. It's a surprise. Down the hatch! Mike: Okay, here goes. Bernie: Bon voyage! Mike: Yikes! Where am I? Bernie: The Hotel du Cap at Antibes in 1925.
