During the events of Bad Santa (2003) played by Brett Kelly

The Kid gets off the bus at the mall and Skateboard Bully throws an aluminum can at his head. The Kid is eventually next in line to see Willie as Santa. He pulls on Willie's beard and Willie tells him he lost his hair from having sex with an unclean woman. The Kid keeps on asking questions and Willie tells Marcus to get him away from him. In the parking lot, Hindustani Troublemaker runs up to Willie and pushes him. He then grabs Willie and tries to sexually assault him, but Willie is saved by The Kid. Willie drives The Kid home and while they are driving there, The Kid constantly asks Willie questions about the North Pole and reindeer. Willie asks The Kid if his parents are home and finds out, The Kid only lives with his Grandma. They go inside after Willie puts on a ski mask and Grandma confuses The Kid for his father, Roger. Willie realizes she has dementia and then steals from the family safe and leaves in the family car. A few days later, Willie drives to The Kid's house and tells him he is going to be staying with him and The Kid tells him he wants a pink stuffed elephant for Christmas. The next morning, The Kid shows Willie his advent calendar. Herb goes to The Kid's house and asks Willie if he will participate in the neighborhood luminarias program.

The Kid asks Willie if he has seen his advent calendar and when The Kid finds it, the doors have been taped back on and the candy is candy corn. As The Kid is walking to the mall, he is attacked by Skateboard Bully and his friends. After Pokemon Child tells Willie he wants Pokemon, The Kid walks up to him and tells him he wants a gorilla named Davy to beat up the Skateboard Bully. Willie tells The Kid he needs to learn how to take care of himself. As Willie is in the garage trying to commit carbon monoxide suicide in Roger's car, The Kid walks in and Willie gives him a letter to give to the police and then notices The Kid has a black eye. The Kid gives Willie his present, but Willie doesn't have a present for him.

Willie writes a letter to The Kid telling him, he sent him a t-shirt and Sue will be living with him temporarily and Willie is going to be made the sensitivity counselor for the Phoenix Police Department. He continues that Marcus and Lois are going to be spending time in prison and finishes he will be out of the hospital soon. The Kid goes outside with his new "Shit Happens When You Party Naked" t-shirt and as he is washing his bike, Skateboard Bully starts to bully him until The Kid kicks him in the genitals and rides away on his bike, while giving Skateboard Bully the finger.
