12 Wishes of Christmas Page #4

And then it said two words.

Don't you wanna know

what those two words were?

More than you could

possibly imagine.

Fashion show!

What?

It's bold and exciting.

It's expensive

and time-consuming.

There's no way

Volara's gonna do that.

You know what?

Think of something else.

Anyway, I think

Okay, good girl.

Oh, hey, Andy.

Howdy, stranger.

Hi. Okay.

Good girl.

Oh, so, hey, congratulations.

The raffle?

Oh, the car! Yeah.

Yeah. Your luck is

changing for the better.

Hey, I'll take you for a spin

in it sometime. How's that?

Okay. It's a date.

Um

You have a boyfriend.

I do. Four years.

I should've known. The good

ones are always taken.

Oh. Oh, hey, did you

ever talk to Harry?

No. I knocked on his door,

and he slammed it in my face.

He thought I was selling

vacuum cleaners or something.

Oh, sorry.

I'll try again tomorrow.

Wanna hear a joke?

Sure, okay.

So there's this horse

who walks into bar,

and the bartender says,

"Why the long face?"

No!

I know a few bad jokes myself.

Do you?

Do you wanna hear 'em?

I'd love to. Can't wait. Yeah.

Wanna spray me?

I do.

You can't.

All right, so

there's two snowmen,

they're sitting outside, and one

of them looks at the other one,

and he says, "That's funny.

It smells like carrots."

What?

I don't even get that.

Because he has a carrot nose.

So it smells like carrots.

Okay, one more. Okay, one more.

Okay, what?

All right, what do you call people

who are afraid of Santa Claus?

I don't know. What?

Claus-trophobic.

Okay, that's really bad.

Yeah. So

Um, so...

Hey, babe!

Hey! Hi, Morgan.

Hi.

Wh-What are you doing here?

I was just taking a break from my writing.

I thought I'd go for a walk.

Who's this?

I'm Andy.

How are you?

Hey. Okay.

Yeah.

Would you like to go for a walk?

Sure, yeah, okay.

Um I'll see you.

Yes. Okay.

Okay.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you, too.

Crap.

More crap.

Pure garbage.

People, is this

all you have for me?

You have failed!

Miserably!

Maybe fifteen percent

is too low of a number.

Perhaps I should consider

letting fifty percent of you go.

But I know my number two

has something up her sleeve.

Sandra Boyd, wow me.

I'm working on it.

Don't embarrass me.

As I've said earlier,

anyone who doesn't

add value idea-wise

will be thrown to a rabid pack of

junk yard dogs and... Fashion show.

What?

A fashion show.

A fashion show.

I love it!

That is pure genius!

We'll wow Dahlberg's by putting

on a Christmas Eve fashion show,

with which we will

showcase our holiday line

using live models!

That is a great idea, Sandra.

All right, we've got

a show to put on.

Let's get crack-a-lackin'!

Sandra, that was my idea.

What was I supposed to say?

The truth!

He put me on the spot.

I had to say something.

We're on the same team, right?

Faith!

I can't believe it!

She totally stole my idea!

Do you know how this

makes me look?

Now I'm one of the employees

who "didn't add value."

You have to tell Mr. Volara the truth.

You have to tell him yourself.

He'd never believe me.

And even if he did,

there's no way he would

ever fire Sandra.

She's too valuable.

First she fires me for her

screw-up, and now she does this?

That is just too much.

That's it.

What are you doing? I am

gonna right these wrongs.

Oh, Sandra Boyd,

you will rue the day.

Mr. Volara, I'm

not sure why I'm here.

I may be tough, crude,

loud, even mean.

But I still believe in the team.

And team captains always give

credit where credit is due.

Sandra, I know you

stole Faith's idea.

I also heard that you lied about

giving Laura the correct address.

No. No, I did.

I have it right here.

I made a mistake.

You're fired.

Fired?

You can't fire me.

I need this job. Please!

Cry me a river.

Get out of my sight.

But

Now, that realization also told

me that you, Laura Lindsey,

will help take my company

to the promised land.

Today is the nineteenth.

You have five days to make holiday magic.

Can you do it?

Yes.

I, uh...

Let's just say that

magic is my specialty.

Excellent.

Then don't let me stop you.

We don't have a moment to lose.

Okay.

One last wish.

Ah! Well, guess that's it.

You're not gonna believe this.

Nadine found a company

that's gonna publish me.

Wow! Really?

Really. I mean, isn't it fabulous?

I mean, it's incredible.

I was just sitting there,

and then all of a sudden, bam!

The phone rang

just out of the blue.

I mean, it's almost

like magic. Like...

Like a wish come true.

I am so happy for you, Morgan.

I know this is important to you,

and I support you

no matter what.

Oh, thanks. I mean,

that means so much to me.

We should celebrate. Let's go to

dinner at Avenue or something.

I can't. I can't.

Nadine's taking me

to meet the publishers.

But I'll definitely

call you later.

Uh, okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

This was a major win for us.

And I didn't forget about what

we talked about at dinner.

Hi!

Hi, sweetheart.

You look so happy!

Well, I am walking

on sunshine, Noel.

Oh, good. Working on

the Dahlberg account,

little bit

of a hiccup with Morgan,

but aside from that,

smooth sailing.

Okay. So when the clouds roll in, we'll

see how it all pans out in the end.

What do you mean?

All of my wishes came true,

I used them all up,

and life is...

It's pretty good.

Well, you got the whole C and E cycle

you still have to work through.

C and E cycle?

Yeah, cause and effect.

Everything has a cause

and effect, for heaven sakes.

Didn't you read the fine print?

Everything, even wishes, has a

natural order of things, you know.

Like, "what goes around comes

around, comes around goes around."

And the fine print,

you're supposed to read...

You didn't read

all of that, did you?

No one ever reads the fine

print, for heaven sakes.

It's so long. It's a lot of words.

What is wrong with this world?

You give 'em one little thing

to do, and they just

Listen. There are some things you're

just gonna have to learn the hard way.

Well, you know,

why don't we just go...

How does she keep doing that?

Martini lunch?

Where's the final

model lineup? Thank you.

I'm still working on it. You were

supposed to have that to me this morning.

We can't move forward until we

book the models. Jack is waiting.

Okay. Take it easy.

If we don't nail this

fashion show, it's over.

And I am all out of wishes.

Okay, Laura, you're overreacting.

Faith,

in the real world... You're gonna

lecture me about the real world?

You mean the world

where you just make a wish

and force someone to give you

flowers or give you a job

or get someone evicted?

Don't forget, I am

also the same person

that wasted three of those wishes

on a clearly ungrateful friend.

Three wishes?

Yes.

I wished for your hair

to look fabulous at your party,

I wished for you to have a winning idea,

and then I wished for Sandra to pay

for stealing that idea.

You're welcome, Faith.

Is that true?

You didn't really think

that you did it
