Eloise at Christmastime

Eloise at Christmastime is a 2003 made-for-television live-action film about a six-year-old girl who lives in the penthouse at the top of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. This story takes place immediately after the events of Eloise at the Plaza; Eloise receives a package full of Spy stuff from her friend Leon, the supporting character in the previous film who did spy work with Eloise.

Directed by Kevin Lima. Written by Elizabeth Chandler, based on the 1958 book of the same name written by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight.

Eloise

• I absolutely love Christmas!

• [talking about Nanny always saying things three times] I asked her once why she always did that... then she told me not to be so rude, rude, rude!

Nanny

• Oh, knickers!

Dialogue

Bill: So, how's that Christmas list coming?

Eloise: Still one or two items short.

Bill: How many you got so far?

Eloise: 73. What? I think it's nice to give Santa lots of options.

Mr. Peabody: Where's Cornelia?

Eloise: She had to go chase down her paycheck.

Eloise: Mr. Peabody?

Mr. Peabody: [groan] Oh, no.

Eloise: I have a bone to pick with you!

Mr. Peabody: Please, no bones today, Eloise.

Eloise: But it's a matter of life and death!

Mr. Peabody: Where's Cornelia?

Eloise: Uhm...I believe she had to step out.
