We need more people like Buddy, nice to everyone and loves his job.

[@jimmypatterson3998]

And repeatedly says, "Francisco."

[@theintrovertedaspie9095]

This isn't his job or anything. Walter was just taking him to work with him so he could kinda keep an eye on hm. He was worried that if Buddy was left home he'll mess something up. This was Emily's idea.

"Buddy the elf. What's your favorite color?" is my favorite quote in the whole movie & the funniest. I find it HILARIOUS how he just picks up the phone immediately.

[@abramsullivan7764]

So what's Walter?

[@evanhalsey1844]

That would make two lists for him: before and after. The first list is before he accepts Buddy as his son and only cares about work and the second list would be once he accepts Buddy as his son and decides to put his boss in his place and seek to find Buddy. I think the before list is arrogant, selfish, and grouchy. The after list is helpful, accepting, understanding, and kindhearted. This is how I see it.

[@RaisedVintage23]

[@mattgerrish908]

1:30 The reason I always believed Buddy thought that was a joke was because he took the phrase as Walter put his name on the desk so no one steals his name, not the desk.

@@GrosvnerMcaffrey Well, Deborah has been bringing Walter coffee for a while so she obviously knows how he takes it. It could be just plain for all we know. Now as for Buddy Deborah probably assumed he wanted coffee and that he liked his plain as well. Buddy may not have known about this at all.
