A Christmas Proposal

1

Stop fidgeting.

Why do we have

to see your dad?

I mean, maybe

there's a problem.

Maybe there's something

wrong with the financing.

You know, maybe

it hit a snag.

Daddy.

Hey.

There's my little girl!

Hi.

Hi.

Sir, I just want

you to know that I...

Sit, sit.

Okay.

Sit, sit, sit.

Great news.

Just finalized the deal

for 70 percent of Fillmore

for the new resort and spa.

Wow, 70 percent,

that's phenomenal.

What about the other

30 percent?

Well, made the town

a generous offer,

and they've agreed

to give it to us.

Give?

Yeah, you know,

eminent domain.

They're going

to declare it a eyesore

or blighted or something.

It's standard procedure.

Blighted? Fillmore, really?

Yeah. Hey, I need you

to go up there tomorrow

and get the city council

to agree to it, too.

That's it. Bye, honey.

Wait, wait, wait, sir.

I don't really think I'm the

right person for the job.

What are you

talking about?

You're my number 1

attack dog.

Plus, I mean,

isn't it your hometown?

Yeah, that's the problem.

Oh, that reminds me.

If we work the financing

by New Year's,

we have to have

the paperwork filed

before the start

of the holiday season.

Okay, I totally

understand that,

but, sir,

I really think...

Hey, kid.

What?

You're not going

in this alone.

Okay?

Yeah.

You've got

the light of my life,

and more importantly,

I put together this.

It's me, it's awesome,

and play it during the meeting.

You're going to be fine.

It's a small town, and I

haven't been there in a while.

And besides, I had

that really special thing

planned for this weekend.

Yeah, I know.

I'm sorry I'm being

so insensitive.

If I were you,

I would do that special thing

on the way home,

after you've made the deal

and pleased your boss.

You know? Do that.

Yeah.

This guy! I see, you know...

Please.

Have fun.

He's...

He's fantastic.

I know.

Well, guess we're

going to Fillmore.

When the Christmas lights

are twinkling

And the glistening snow

has fallen

Sleigh bells keep

a perfect rhythm for

A Christmas dance

with you

Time's suspended,

hold me closer

Underneath

a starry blanket

I'd give anything,

including the moon

For a Christmas dance

with you

I can't remember

a feeling like this

Such heavenly bliss

Intoxicated by your kiss

And if you should ask me

I'll say I don't mind

So were you able

to reschedule

the other thing

we talked about?

Well, once we wrap

this proposal,

then we'll get started

on the other proposal.

I knew you'd

work it out, buddy,

Hold on a second.

Yeah.

That's great,

you're kidding.

That... that's fantastic news.

Hold on a second.

Uh-huh, sure.

Okay, I'm back.

So tell me, what is

the big plan anyway?

It's perfect,

it's this great little

town in Connecticut. It's...

where we went on

our first date.

You know what?

That reminds me of my second

wife, when I proposed to her.

I had the Blue Angels

write up in the sky...

We were in San Fran, and we...

Uh, you know what?

Wait a minute, maybe...

It was Tel Aviv

because it was in Hebrew.

So it had to be

my third wife.

Right, but it's just

as romantic, I hope.

Well, you know

what I always say...

actions speak

louder than words.

Yes, they do.

So do you have,

uh, it on you?

It is a $15,000 ring,

and I'm not letting it

out of my sight.

15,000.

You got off easy, buddy,

but I'll tell you what.

My daughter's going

to be very happy.

Very happy, indeed, son.

Call me when you wrap

this whole thing up.

Will do.

I'm still here.

Yeah, he's right here.

I don't know.

He was on the phone.

I don't know who

he was talking to.

Honey, I want you guys

to have fun tonight.

And it could be a big night,

so keep me posted,

sweetheart.

Thanks. Bye-bye.

I love you, honey.

Carriage signed on to anchor

the new shopping development.

Yes.

But before you start

signing any leases,

remember what your father said,

that in order for us

to get the financing

by the end of the year...

Get the paperwork filed

before the financiers

leave for their holiday break,

blah, blah, blah.

You are so cute

when you get nervous.

Nervous?

Who said anything

about being nervous?

For what you're about to do

to their property values,

this town should be

kissing your butt,

ex-girlfriends included.

Yeah.

Santa Claus is on his way

In a sleigh

Hip, hip, hooray!

I can't wait

for Christmas Day

Hey.

Morning.

Hi, Lisa.

How are you?

I'm good, good.

How are you?

Good, just getting the rest

of these flyers passed out.

Oh, my Lord.

You never stop working.

Oh, I'll rest when those Malones

find another place to build.

If I know Rick...

Oh, don't worry.

I'm ready for your son,

that little son of yours.

Well, that's good

because they're coming.

What's this?

Is that her?

Aww, I can't wait

to meet her.

No, get back in the car.

Ugh. No, no, no.

You must be Lisa.

Hi.

Lisa, this is...

Reagan Malone.

Like my flyer?

Wow, 30 seconds,

and already with the tone.

Tone? I don't have a tone.

I was just asking a question.

I'm just trying to help my town.

What's so wrong with that?

Your town?

Oh, I can't call it

my town anymore?

Oh, sure, since you've

been here a whole

two or three times

since graduation?

Too busy for 15-year

reunion... your town.

Look around.

This place needs us.

Reagan.

I'm going to call

Maria.

She's lovely.

Why don't you just admit

that you're afraid of change?

I am not afraid of change.

You are, too.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

I'm not.

You are, too, that's why

you wouldn't leave the town.

Oh, really?

Really.

You know what? I hope you're

prepared for tonight, okay?

I'll see you later,

there, city guy.

I hope you're ready

for tonight, country person.

Okay, great, you should

watch your mouth.

You watch your mouth.

Ready, at least more

ready than you know.

Can you hear me?

We're so going to have to

wire this town. I know.

Mom.

Hi, honey.

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Good to see you.

You look wonderful.

Thank you.

Mom, I would like

you to meet...

Reegan.

Reagan.

Reagan, I'm so sorry. It's a

pleasure to finally meet you.

You, too.

So how is everything?

Oh, everything is great.

You know, no snow.

So, of course, there are

no people on the hills.

Well, that's what we're

here to change, right, baby?

That's right, babe.

You know, um,

could I just speak

to you for a moment?

Just...

Yeah, sure.

Babe, could you go

inside really fast?

I just need

to talk to my mom.

Thank you. Please, make

yourself comfortable.

Isn't she great?

Oh, yeah.

She's so pretty, yes.

There's something I really

wanted to talk to you about.

Do you actually

have to do this now?

Mom,

I told you,

you're going to be fine.

We're going to put you in a brand-new

building with plenty more rooms.

This is a great location.

It's going to be great.

I-I actually like

where I live, you know?

And, um, it's really hard

to start over when you're 60.

You know?

Mom, I'm not going to go
