12 Wishes of Christmas

It's Christmastime of year

Everybody swing

Yeah, it's Christmastime

of year again

And the trimmings

on the tree

'Cause everybody here

loves Christmas

Here we go, let it snow

Ho, ho, ho

Gee, don't you ever sleep?

Oh, no, I'm late.

Gotta get that fixed.

Okay, Ashley, you're gonna be

really good today, right?

Right? We're gonna be

very quiet,

quiet as a little mousey, okay?

No barking,

no barking, no barking.

Good morning, Mr. Wayne.

What's good about it?

My hands are killing me with

all the work I've been doing,

knockin' some sheetrock

all night,

lookin' for a short.

Is it really necessary to be

knocking so early

in the morning?

I don't know if you noticed,

but we share a circuit breaker.

I had to cut the power

about 0200.

Ah. That would explain

my alarm clock.

I've gotta go.

Nice to see you.

Not so fast.

You got a dog in there?

A... A dog?

What makes you say that?

I could've sworn

I heard barking.

No, I mean,

I don't have... I don't...

You know this building

doesn't allow pets.

I am so late for work,

so I've gotta run,

but let's talk

about it later, okay?

Have a great day!

Ohh!

Oh, no!

Ohh!

Ladies and gentlemen,

the honeymoon is over.

So let's get down

to brass tacks.

There is blood

in the water, folks.

Uh, whoop!

So nice of you to join us,

Leslie.

Uh, Laura. I'm sorry.

My alarm clock,

and then my shoe,

and I just... Sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

As I was saying, 15 percent

of the Volara workforce

needs to be cut by

the end of the fiscal year.

That is December 31st.

Fifteen percent?

The cream always rises to the

top, ladies and gentlemen.

This is your opportunity

to shine,

not only for the company,

but for your job.

We need spettacolare!

We need di classe mondiale!

We need to make a major

splish-splash on Rodeo Drive.

I'm talking about

getting shelf space

in the most prestigious department

store in Beverly Hills:

Dahlberg's!

Now, just how do we

make this happen?

Ideas?

You two, Frick and Frack.

Actually it's, uh... He's Michael.

I'm Richard.

Speak! Ideas!

We could, uh, cut our print ads.

Yeah. We could focus more

on social networking.

Wrong answer!

You're fired.

Are you serious?

Deadly. Pack up.

But I just got married.

And I just got a divorce.

Merry Christmas.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Well, here's my idea. The only

thing with enough chutzpah

to blow Dahlberg's away before

their Christmas deadline.

My very own latest creation,

Santa Baby,

the inaugural

Volara holiday line.

Your job:
Make this reality.

Now, everyone, get to work!

And don't forget: 15 percent.

Since we don't have much time,

I set the Dahlberg's meeting

for tomorrow morning.

I want you to run point.

Okay.

Call the warehouse.

Check to make sure the samples

are chosen already.

Then I want you to pick them up

along with some fabric comparisons,

and I want you to overnight them

to... hold on...

Cindy St. James at

Dahlberg's buyer department.

And that's... Hold on.

The address

Come on, come on.

That address is, uh

Yeah, it's 31 Wilshire Boulevard

at the Southbay Pavilion.

Are we clear?

Crystal.

Yes.

Good.

Oh, my gosh, I gotta go.

I gotta go.

Okay, everybody,

y'all listen up.

I got a couple of

announcements to make.

Brooking Autos is gonna

donate a brand-new hybrid

for our fundraising raffle.

Okay, so come on, guys.

Now, don't be a Scrooge, okay?

Secondly, we have got some cute,

cuddly puppies comin' our way,

so we're gonna be looking for somebody to

spend a little extra time over Christmas.

Oh, Laura, honey, how 'bout you?

Can you spare little TLC

for our paw pals?

Oh, Apple, I'm sorry. I'm having

a hard enough time as it is,

getting here Tuesdays and Fridays.

Well, maybe next year.

Oh, gosh, look at Bella. I think

she needs to go for her walk.

She's looking

a little bit anxious.

Okay, I'm on it.

Thank you.

Hello, hello.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

I know, I know.

Hi. Did you miss me, Bella?

Oh, you're a good girl.

You're a good girl.

Okay, let's go.

Hold on.

Hello?

I'm dying here.

How about I pick up a pizza,

and we catch the double feature of

Frosty and Rudolph on TV tonight?

Oh, I can't. Morgan's

taking me to Avenue tonight.

Ooh. You little hipster.

What's the occasion?

I don't know, but when a man

takes his girl to Avenue,

it can only mean one thing.

He cheated?

No! I think he's

going to propose.

How do you figure?

He said he has something

important to tell me,

and it's the next logical

step in our relationship.

I'll call you later.

Okay. Don't forget.

Bye. Oh! Bella!

Oh. Sorry!

Oh!

Whoa!

I guess they really

want to say hello. Wow.

Rosie, looks like you found a new

best friend. Yeah, you think?

Well, when they do that,

it's a sign of submission.

If only men were more like dogs.

Oh, we are. We just don't like

to get our clothes dirty.

Oh.

I'm...

Okay, guys. Don't be shy.

How about some of

those raffle tickets?

Oh, yes. You can

put me down for one.

Great. You know what? Put

me down for one, too.

Got it. Okay.

All right.

Come on, Bella.

See ya.

I'll see ya.

What? Yeah.

She's pretty cute.

So as you might have guessed, there

is a reason why I asked you here.

We've been together

for a while, Laura,

and we've had our share

of ups and downs,

but we've always supported each other

through thick and thin, right?

Yes, we have, Morgan.

Well, I was thinking

that what I need to do now

is follow my heart

and a dream of mine.

So I'd like to ask you

a very important question.

Go ahead.

Laura Lindsey, will you

Yes, Morgan?

Will you

still love me if I quit my job at the

hedge fund and become a novelist?

What?

I can't do it anymore.

The long hours, the stress,

the number crunching.

I put my two weeks' in

this morning.

But... What?

I just don't feel I was

put on this earth to do that.

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

I don't understand.

You're like this

brilliant finance guy.

You make a great living.

Are you sure that you

want to give all that up?

Here's the thing.

I met this woman.

She's a literary agent.

I pitched an idea to her,

and she loved it.

She thinks it would make

a great novel.

Oh, Morgan

I already wrote the synopsis.

It's called

The Lone Wolf.

I don't know what to say.

Tell me that you still love me.

Of course

I still love you, Morgan,

but this is a major life change.

What about us?

Our life?

We talked about getting

married and having a family.

I still want those things.

Well, you gotta give me

some sort of a time frame.

I mean, something to go on here.

You know, it's like I'm not being

fair to you if I don't do this.

I mean, how can I possibly fulfill

you if I can't fulfill me?

Oh, Morgan, but

that could take years.

Aren't I worth the wait?

Of course.

Angel was a sad

and lonely child

Oh! Uh, Mrs. Seagal,

Mr. Wayne.

I was just getting ready

for work.

We have evidence that you are

aiding and abetting a canine

within the confines

of your townhome.
