12 Wishes of Christmas Page #6

gets me in for free.

I see. Oh.

Make a wish.

Oh, no, thanks.

What, you don't

believe in wishes?

Oh, no, I do.

I just, uh...

I've learned to be careful

what I wish for.

Oh.

Then I'll just have to make

a wish for the both of us.

Uh, okay.

So So what'd you wish for?

That.

So you could wish

for anything in the world,

and you wish for a kiss, huh?

Well, I suppose

there are other things.

Oh! Really?

More important things?

You're terrible.

Well, since we're

talking about it, what?

What would you wish for?

You know your neighbor, Harry?

Yeah. Yeah, what is

the story with you guys?

Well, let's just say he's not

completely without family.

Well, if he had any kids,

I think I would know.

I mean, they'd probably

be about our age, and I...

No way.

Are you

Is Harry your father?

Yeah, I've been, uh...

I've been trying

to track him down for years.

Oh, my... I...

I-I-I can't believe it.

So, uh, I suppose

if I had a wish,

it would be to

have a relationship

with my old man.

Don't worry, don't worry.

I'll be out of your way

soon enough.

Well, where you gonna go?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Don't you have any family

you can stay with?

Nope.

So, then you'll just get

another place, right?

Easy for you to say.

No savings?

Gone. Just like your dog.

Oh

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I complained

about the banging.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

I had it coming.

I'm sorry about your dog.

I guess she was okay.

You know I have a spare room.

Why don't you just crash with me

until you get back on your feet.

You want me to live with you?

Temporarily.

Never happen.

I'll even let you

bang on the pipes

if you feel like it.

Harold Wayne is a lone wolf.

Oh. Where have I

heard that before?

A one-trick pony.

A loner, a rebel.

An island unto...

Okay, I got it.

Got it.

Well, if you change your mind

you know where to find me.

Faith, I know you're home.

Will you just pick up, please?

Or call me back, or...

I really need to talk to you.

What good's a one-trick pony

without a stable?

My

My wife used to make cocoa.

Just like this

with real marshmallows.

These days, nobody makes it

with real marshmallows.

I thought you said

you didn't have any family.

That's a story

over scotch, not cocoa.

What happened to her?

I don't know.

Did you ever have any kids?

A son. I haven't seen him

for over 30 years.

I don't even know

what he looks like.

He's very handsome.

What?

I mean, I'm sure

he's very handsome.

What would you say

if he contacted you?

Now? It's too late.

That's the last thing

either one of us needs.

Oh, that's not true.

I mean, he... he might-

You... The truth is, I...

Look, my life is

none of your business, okay?

I didn't mean to overstep.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna... I'll go fix

up a room for you, okay?

So I'll be upstairs

if you need anything.

Thanks.

Harry?

Yeah.

Yeah, you had a bum washer,

and that's what caused the drip.

Hand me that one-inch

combination wrench, will ya?

Uh

Yeah, yeah, I'll trade you.

Are you... Are you licensed

or something?

No, I'm just good

at fixing things.

Oh.

I got it! I got it!

Ow!

Hey, are you okay down there?

Yeah, the wrench just bounced

off the plate in my head.

Oh, hey, you fixed it.

Yeah, I told ya.

Wow, I'm glad I didn't

waste a wish on that.

Huh?

Nothing. Uh, listen.

I have something

I have to take care of.

Are you gonna be

okay here by yourself?

Yeah, yeah, I'll

hold down the fort.

Okay.

Try not to fix

anything else. Okay?

Hi.

On break.

What are you doing here? Look, there's something

that I'd like to talk to you about.

See, I took over

your position at Volara.

Oh, so you came to stick it

to your old boss for firing you.

No, no, no, no.

That's not why I'm here.

Look, I am sorry

about the address.

It really was a mistake.

And with Faith, I was

What I did was wrong.

You just need to understand.

My daughter is really sick,

and I couldn't risk

losing my job or my insurance.

Yes, I know.

That's why I'm here.

I want to help you

get your job back.

You wanna help me

get my job back? Why?

Because it was my fault that you

got fired in the first place.

I'm sorry, I'm not following.

I wished for Jack Volara

to side with us.

I wish for a lot of things.

That doesn't mean they happen.

Okay, regardless,

I think that I have a plan

to get you back to work.

I'm listening.

Okay, so tomorrow is our big

fashion show for Dahlberg.

All of the key executives are

gonna be there, including Clive.

Clive Dahlberg in person?

Yes.

And you want me to

I want you to announce the line,

to introduce the clothes.

Jack would have a fit.

Let me worry about Jack.

You know more about this

than anyone.

You know all the designs,

you know all the fabrics.

Why are you doing this?

Because it's the right thing.

And your daughter needs this.

You get your old job back,

you get your old insurance.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is it just me, or did the temperature

just drop another ten degrees?

You haven't returned

any of my calls.

You let work come between

our friendship.

I know.

You hurt me.

And you have

every right to be mad.

I deserve it.

I know.

But I'm here because I

really want to say I'm sorry.

Come on, Faith.

At least talk to me.

I made a lot

of mistakes. I know.

But I really want

to set things straight.

I mean, it's Christmas.

Right, and all wishes have

to be made before Christmas?

Something like that.

Why should I?

Because you're

my only true friend.

And true friends are always there

for each other, no matter what.

I heard what happened

with Morgan. I'm sorry.

How'd you hear?

Facebook.

What? Who posted it

on Facebook?

Your mom.

Unbelievable.

You know, I really need you

on the team at work.

I quit.

So un-quit.

I mean, this whole thing

was your idea.

You can't leave us now.

So you're not

taking me off Dahlberg?

Of course not.

Come on. We have

a lot of work to do.

I know they're uncomfortable.

They're gonna look

gorgeous onstage.

I like this.

Always feature that...

That shoulder, out. Off the shoulder.

I like that.

Excuse me, dear.

What is your name again?

Tammy. I don't like

this outfit at all.

You designed it, Mr. Volara. Uh

It's fine, Jack.

Don't worry about it.

I like it. We're less than five

minutes to show time. Where is Laura?

I'm sure she's finishing some last-minute

details. I will go check for you, sir.

Everyone, please stop talking

so I can concentrate.

Where's Sandra?

I don't know.

We can't leave people waiting.

What if she doesn't come?

She'll show. I know she will.

I hope so.

Jack is getting really nervous.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey, you made it.

Yeah, well, my father always

taught me, be on time.

Well, I saved a seat for you right in

the front row, with a friend of mine.

Oh, well, thank you. Okay?

It's just right over there.

Hey.

Ah!

You're here.

I'm ready.

You're gonna be terrific.

Let's do it. Let's do it.
