Soke and his dwarf assistant Marcus Skidmore are professional thieves.

At the mall, Willie is visited by Thurman Merman, a friendly but exceedingly gullible, dimwitted young boy who believes he really is Santa and is constantly bullied by a teenage gang of skateboarders.

Willie tricks him into letting him rob their safe and steals Roger's BMW 740iL.
