Biography[]
Morris and associate Eugene Dupree got together with Walter Hobbs to discuss their idea on how to create a better book: hire author Miles Finch to help them brainstorm. Morris encouraged Walter to accept the idea, which Walter did.
Morris, Walter, and Eugene called Miles Finch by the intercom to invite him to help him with their story. Miles later arrived to discuss their story plans. Morris suggested a story about a tomato who was having a hard time in a farm because of rabbits. Before he could finish his pitch, Miles rejected the ideas of having tomatoes or farms. Soon afterwards, Buddy burst into the office and mistook Miles for an elf (due to his dwarfism), to which Morris stared in shock. In disgust, Morris saw Miles attacking Buddy before he stormed out of the boardroom. Morris was also unhappy when Walter disowned Buddy shortly thereafter. After Miles left, Morris and Eugene found the author's missing notebook. Morris said that Miles's self-proclaimed best idea was about a peach living in a farm, despite Miles' rejection of Morris's idea of a story taking place in a farm.
Morris was last seen with Eugene and Deb in Walter's office. They were singing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," which the town was also singing.
