12 Wishes of Christmas Page #2

Evidence?

What evidence?

Caught ya, red-handed.

Have you been looking

through my garbage?

Once it leaves the home,

it's public property.

I already told you

I do not have a dog.

I knew it.

It clearly states in your lease,

any animal found on the premises

will constitute an automatic

breach of contract,

which will result

in your immediate eviction.

Mrs. Seagal,

it's Christmas!

I mean, come on!

Don't you have a heart?

No, I don't.

Either you get rid of that dog,

or find another place to live.

Oh, Ashley, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna get you out of here

as soon as I can, okay?

I promise.

I'll have you out

in time for Christmas.

Aw. Don't worry.

We'll take good care of her till

she's ready to go home to her mommy.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

It'll be okay.

Okay, I'll be back soon.

Hey, sweetie.

It's gonna be okay.

Okay.

So what does Dr. Stein say?

How much is that gonna cost?

Well, my insurance

will cover that, right?

All right.

Yeah, let me know.

Is everything okay? Yeah. It's just the

doctor with my daughter's new meds.

All right. Remember,

I do all the talking.

You just smile

and nod your head.

Sandra Boyd?

Cindy St. James.

Pleasure!

Hi. Laura Lindsey.

I am surprised to see you here,

considering I haven't

received any samples.

Well, that's impossible.

We overnighted them last night.

You should've had them

this morning.

Well, I haven't.

Uh, can I impose and just

ask you to double-check that?

Give me a moment.

You did send the samples,

right, Laura?

Of course. I overnighted

them just like you asked.

Look. I have the receipt

right here.

Uh, here it is.

They went to

3-1 Wilshire Boulevard.

Wait a minute. "Three-one"

Wilshire Boulevard?

Yes.

This is 311.

Sandra, I'm positive you told

me 3-1 Wilshire Boulevard.

Why would I say 3-1

when I know it's 3-1-1?

I... Maybe you

made a mistake.

I... I did what you...

Ladies, confirmed.

No samples from Volara.

Cindy, I am so sorry,

but apparently Ms. Lindsey has sent

the samples to the wrong address.

But if we can reconvene

later this afternoon,

I would be glad to bring them

to you in person.

I'm sorry. I'm booked solid.

It was nice meeting you.

She fired you?

For something

I totally didn't do!

That witch! I worked my

butt off for that company.

That's no way to treat people.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Everything is

falling apart, Faith.

I wish someone could just come

in and fix my whole life.

Hey, do you remember

my cousin Jennifer,

the one who was getting divorced

and then she got laid off

at the same time? Yeah.

Well, apparently she hired

one of those life coaches,

and she claims that they really

helped turn her life around.

Come on! Really?

Yes!

She said it was

the best thing she's ever done.

Wow.

Somebody really likes Christmas.

Uh, hello!

Hello?

Just a minute.

I'll be right out.

Hi there!

Hi. I have

an appointment with Noel.

Oh. I am she.

Um... Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry.

I-I thought it was

a man's name.

Oh, no! Noel, you know,

like the Christmas carol.

Ah.

And you're Laura Lindsey.

Yes, I am.

Come right on in. Have a seat.

Okay.

Now

Ah! Okay, Laura Lindsey,

why are you here?

Well... Oh!

Sorry. Um

Well, I guess, uh,

I'm here because

my life hasn't turned out

the way I expected.

Cookie?

No, thank you.

Well

I get all my best material

from these things.

Let me tell you what's wrong

with you mortals today.

You all expect too much.

You expect to be happy,

and then you expect the man upstairs

to straighten it all out for you.

Sure you wont have a cookie?

Did you know that you sleep

a third of your life away?

Then the other third is spent on a job

you normally can't stand to begin with.

Then the final third

is spent whining

about the hamster wheel you got

yourself stuck on to begin with,

going round and round

and round and round

till you turn green and

are ready to upchuck.

I bet that's why you're here.

You're wondering how to get off

that hamster wheel, aren't you?

Uh, yes?

That's good, because I'm gonna tell

you what I'm gonna do for you.

I'm gonna grant you

twelve wishes.

Oh! Does that come with

a genie and a lamp, too?

Oh, Lord,

I hope she's joking. No.

We don't deal with genies here.

That's about two doors down.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

No. Listen to me carefully.

This is what I want you to do.

Go home, log on to my website,

push the button that says

"twelve wishes."

Oh, okay! So this is like

one of those new age things

where I write down

what I want to happen,

and then I just

think positive about it?

No. This is

old age stuff, honey.

And whatever you wish for,

it will come true.

Look, I I really appreciate it,

but I just, uh

I'm not sure that

I believe in this stuff,

so What in the world

do you have to lose?

Not that much, actually.

Guess I'll just give it a try.

Oh. Do or do not.

There is no try.

Fortune cookie?

Yoda.

I love his work.

Okay. Well, it was...

It was really nice meeting you.

Oh, so good to meet you, too!

Thank you.

I'll just leave it...

Good luck to you, Laura Lindsey.

You're in for a wonderful ride.

Okay, thanks.

Oh, I want you to start

small, whatever you do.

And don't forget to read

the terms and conditions.

Very, very important.

Will do.

Ah! And be careful

what you wish for.

I will.

Okay.

Okay.

So this is what it's come to.

"These terms and

conditions of use"

shall be severable and construed to

the extent of their enforceability

"in light of

all the parties..."

I mean, come on.

Nobody really reads

the terms and conditions, right?

There they are.

Twelve wishes.

Start small.

Start small, start small.

Hmm.

Yeah.

That would be nice.

I wish

Whoa!

Hmm.

So then the weird thing is

I wake up this morning,

and there's a bouquet

of roses at my doorstep.

Morgan must've felt really

bad about the other night.

Well, I mean, I guess, but

You don't think the...

No. No, it's crazy.

I know, I know.

No. It's ridiculous.

It sounds like

that new age stuff.

You know, positive thinking

and ignoring negative

reinforcement, that sort of thing.

Hey, did you hear

an earthquake last night?

No.

Maybe it was just a truck

driving by or something.

Oh, you know what I

really need for tonight?

I need some earrings.

Earrings.

What's the big deal

about tonight, anyway?

The big deal is that tonight

is the church Christmas party,

and the ex is

bringing his new girl,

who I might add always looks exquisite

in her Jean Broussard heels

and perfect hair.

Speaking of which,

look at my hair.

I have to look good, I have to

make him see what he's missing,

and look how flat my hair looks.

Faith, you look gorgeous.

It's beautiful.

You look like a million bucks.

I wish.

I'm gonna look in this case.

Okay.

Whoa.

Hey! Um

Best Buddies, right?

Oh, hey. Hey, yeah!

Our dogs became best buddies

while we were walking them.

Yeah, that's right, right.

Andy.

Oh. Laura.
