A Christmas Proposal Page #5

tell you something about her.

She grew up on 5th Avenue.

Her idea of Christmas spirit is

shopping at Rockefeller Center.

Perfect.

Sounds like a blast.

Bad. This is bad.

We wish you

a Merry Christmas

Look. Help me.

You gotta help me look.

I am looking.

I don't see anything.

Why don't we just...

Why don't we

just go to a lot?

I don't understand why we

have to do it this way.

Why don't we just go?

They're already there for us.

We pick the prettiest one,

then we go home.

I don't understand

what we're doing.

Because finding a tree

is an experience.

It's not just...

it takes the fun out of it

if you just go to a lot

and pick a tree.

Oh, and this experience

can't include paved roads?

Well, what do you do

with your family in New York?

How do you guys

get your tree?

Daddy has people who...

Hold on.

I am holding on.

I don't even know where

I'm supposed to be holding on.

This thing isn't helping much.

Aren't you glad you came?

Yeah, this is loads of fun.

I'm gonna wipe you

across the ice, my friend.

Okay, so why are you

wobbling, then?

Not my size.

Right. You always skated

like a girl.

Are you okay?

Easy, old-timer.

You're not 18 anymore,

Rick.

Are you kidding me?

I'm in the prime of my life.

You know what? They got shuffleboard

over at the senior center.

Why don't we go over there?

Bring it on.

She really is something, huh?

Yeah, she's definitely

not the girl

we went to high school with.

Dude, I'm talking

about your girlfriend.

Oh.

Oh.

But you thought I was talking about...

Stop it.

Oh, really?

This is interesting.

So what happened

between you and Rick?

What do you mean?

Why'd you break up?

I don't know.

It just... after law school,

we kind of decided

we wanted different things,

you know?

He wanted

to go to the city,

and I just wanted

to come back here.

So that's why you left?

Well, he invited me to go

with him, but I belong here.

He did?

What if we went

out that way?

You know, you didn't have to leave.

You could have stayed.

She could have come with me.

You regret it?

You kidding me? I got a great

girl, I got a great job.

We gonna play or what?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, right up here.

Look, look, look, look.

It's like you're working

for the man.

What about your independence?

I've got plenty

of independence.

Dude, you'll be, like,

this Malone guy's son-in-law.

Dude, it's not like that.

I'm actually really happy

with where I'm at right now.

So you have no regrets

of any kind?

Nope. I mean, as long as I can

make a difference once in a while,

I feel good.

And you know what they say.

Actions speak louder

than words, right?

Whose proposal

was this, really, huh?

Yours?

The important thing

is that I'm in love.

Oh. Then why are you

still here, huh?

You could have rented a car.

You could have...

Gotta laugh, man.

I know why.

You like it here.

I got it.

Okay, you got it?

You good?

Yeah. I'm good.

You do spend a lot of time

with his mother.

Maggie? Yeah,

we're really good friends.

Yeah, but she's your

ex-boyfriend's mother.

Yeah.

You know, she's really

been there for me,

especially when

I lost my parents.

So you shouldn't

let it bother you.

That's all it is.

Look, it's over, okay?

I'm with Reagan now.

He has his life,

and I have Fillmore.

Period.

Okay.

You want to try?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Be careful.

Please make it soon

You know you have to

actually hit the tree, right?

I know

you have to hit the tree.

Suddenly your name

jumps into view

Oh!

Are you okay?

Christmas Eve

Santa sends

an angel to me

Oh, I ruined my manicure.

Your manicure? Look

what you did to the poor tree.

Oh, just help me up.

Yes, look at that.

That was so cold.

That's where we went skiing

on Cannon Mountain, remember?

I remember Cass broke her leg.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

No, it was a sprain.

It was...

And she had to go down in the

toboggan with the ski patrol.

They were so cute.

Who was cute? No, not

as cute as you, honey.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, Rick, you were good.

Oh, no.

Does he still

play guitar?

You play guitar?

Well, a long time ago.

He was a rock star.

Yeah. I got a good idea.

I'm gonna go get the guitar.

No.

Yes.

No! I'm gonna go grab it.

Where is it?

Yeah!

In the attic.

In the attic.

I'm gonna go get it.

Whoo! That's so good.

He's totally putting me

on the spot.

While you two were out behaving

like a couple of Neanderthals,

did he happen to say when

the what-do-you-call-it...

Transmission?

Yeah.

Well, it's a foreign car, baby.

It's gonna take a couple days.

A couple of days?

What is taking so long?

I don't know.

Would you just relax?

Oh.

Uh, Maggie, let's go

check on those cookies.

Very good idea.

Whoops. Give me a push.

Don't hurt your back.

Nice.

Lookit. Remember that?

Lookit.

That's so silly.

You remember how much

you loved to sing karaoke?

To pick up reindeer food

I still do.

And I'm good.

Did you hear that?

Unh-unh.

Oh.

Who will feed

all those reindeer?

Who is gonna

double-check that list?

And who will call

the weatherman

Make sure that sleigh

is spic-and-span?

Who is gonna wrap up

all those gifts?

I been waiting

all year long

For months

I ain't done nothing wrong

I hope Christmas

saved those phones

If Santa's on his own

He's lost some weight

He's melancholy

And Santa just ain't Santa

What is going on

with your hair?

And then everybody

started doing it.

You were out there.

I don't know.

Oh, my God, look at you.

Look at your hair.

Oh, wow.

A little Whitesnake.

Yow

Right, right.

What did you do to her today?

Who?

Reagan.

I didn't do anything to her.

That girl's crazy.

She thinks that you and I

still love each other.

Insecure.

That's ridiculous.

I know.

Where did everybody go?

Cookies.

Oh.

Where's the guitar?

What?

The... the guitar.

Oh, I couldn't find it.

Oh.

It's a big attic.

Okay.

Well, I will see

you boys tomorrow, okay?

But...

Don't go.

No, no, no. Hey.

Yeah, I have things to do.

Bye-bye.

Yeah. Yeah.

Where did Lisa go?

I don't know.

She left.

Can I just have one?

Sure.

I'll be back.

Where is everybody...

Where you going?

For a second there,

it felt like

it was years ago.

Oh, Mom.

She left it.

She's so funny.

She's just trying

to save the town, that's all.

Oh, you think

that's all, huh?

Well, I think she's

more interested than that.

Really?

Well, It does...

it doesn't matter.

Andy's gonna have the part

in a couple days,

and it's fine.

You know,

whatever you decide,

I will always stand by you.

You know that.

Really?

Really.

I love you, Mom.

All right, let me

help you clean up.

You were

a good guitar player.

Oh, come on.

Yes, you were.

All right, all right,

all right.

Okay.

Do you like the cookies?

Are you kidding me?

No.

Of course

I like the cookies.

All right.

You always make great cookies.

What? What's the matter?

I am so sick

of being in this town.
