that worked !
God helped
you do that, you know.
Where has he been before ?
Probably waiting for you
to make the first move.
Now come on.
Oh.
( knocking )
Mr. Bullington.
May I come in ?
I'll come out,
the baby's sleeping.
Something's come up.
The state workers,
they're coming in tomorrow
and I need your room.
It's Christmas Eve.
I already took an advance.
Where are we gonna go ?
You might try over
at the Sleepy Inn,
over at the Mayfield.
I don't have a car.
I got no choice.
I'm sorry.
Is that what
you want, Joe ?
What you really want ?
I think it's what
you should want, too.
Let's go to my place.
need to consider, okay ?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
It is beautiful.
This is gonna be
the best Christmas ever.
Actually, this is
our last night here.
( Miles )
What ?
Where are we
going to go ?
I haven't figured
that out yet.
I was hoping that
we could get that house
that Mr. Meyer
told us about.
But we can't ?
It's okay.
I don't even have Christmas
presents for you guys.
That's not much.
We weren't
expecting anything.
Oh, honey,
that's so sweet.
We're gonna have to
paint over the tree.
Why ?
Because it wouldn't be right
to leave it here like this.
But h-he's the one
making us get out.
Whether Mr. Bullington is right
or wrong, it doesn't matter.
It's what we do,
that's what's important.
Mel... it's your tree.
We'll paint over it
when you get home.
The cafe closes
early tonight.
Do you guys
wanna come with me ?
Yeah !
Yeah.
Okay guys,
come sit over here.
Santa Claus.
Yeah.
Here, Lilee.
I got you some
coloring.
Thank you.
Here you go.
Pink.
You okay ?
I'm fine.
You don't look fine.
I'm just trying to
iron out some of the bugs.
Ah... got it.
Mmm, I love this place.
Yeah, it does kind of
grow on you, doesn't it ?
I'm saving up
to buy it.
Seriously ?
I'm still
Oh, well,
you'll find it.
I doubt that.
I can't find my head
with both hands.
You have family here ?
Not here, mm-mm.
So you're spending
Christmas alone ?
Not alone.
What does that mean ?
Well, that just means that
her and Frank are an item.
Rasmuss--
Rasmussen, and, yes,
he has hidden qualities.
Oh, he has very
hidden qualities.
( laughing )
How are you ?
Um, I'm fine.
There's something
she's not telling us.
What ?
Nothing, it's just
that Miller lady,
she's not gonna
rent us the house.
Why am I not
surprised ?
You're not ?
She was here.
She was ?
Yeah.
And she was
with somebody.
Who ?
Joe.
Ugh !
That poor boy can't think for
himself when she's around.
Joe knows her ?
Oh, she's
a horse's patoot.
They were engaged and she
broke it off.
She's the one that
left him at the altar ?
And now they're--
Looks like it.
Oh.
Well, maybe
they'll work it out.
I doubt that.
He's normal and she's
( laughing )
Well, I do have to say,
this has been more like
than in a very long time.
I think you have a lot to
do with that, Martha.
Me ?
Oh, I don't think so.
No, she's right,
you have made a difference.
I've been here,
what, ten days ?
Well, sometimes
that's all it takes.
Well, ladies,
these are bonus checks.
It's not much, but it's
all I could afford.
I don't know
how to tell you this,
but I can't make a go
of this place.
( coughing )
Um, Mama ?
Hi.
What's going on ?
Well, it isn't much,
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas !
I...
I don't know
what to say.
Well, don't say nothing.
I brought
the boy something.
Thought you might like these,
just like Sam used to make.
You made it for me ?
Mmm...
( Martha )
Say thank you !
He-- he--
the boy can talk.
Thanks.
I'll teach you
how to make it.
Yeah !
Thank you, Les.
Thank you, thank you !
Cut that out,
cut that out.
Don't get sloppy on me.
( woman )
Merry Christmas, Martha.
We love you.
Sounds like old times,
doesn't it, Sam ?
Merry Christmas, darling.
Merry Christmas.
And remember,
everybody is welcome
at the church annual Christmas
breakfast in the morning.
We are so glad that
you came to this town !
This is incredible.
( man )
Well !
Well now,
isn't this nice ?
What you think, Bob ?
Yeah, real nice.
Yeah.
Stand back.
What are you doing here ?
Well now, I didn't want to
miss the little gathering,
or my boy.
Right there, Miles ?
I told everybody...
you would come back.
You, you are a hard one
to track down, baby.
Still look good,
though.
You're not.
Why don't you slip into
something more comfortable,
like unconsciousness ?
Hey now, baby,
no reason to get angry.
I was expecting you to still
be at our place.
How come you left, huh ?
I'm not the one who left.
Well, it don't matter none,
'cause I just came here to
get you some stuff.
Bob.
Here you go.
Is that all ?
Then you'll go ?
Yeah.
Yeah, all of us.
Here you go.
How did you--
I stopped by
the hotel, buddy.
Picked up your stuff.
You broke in ?
Well, the door
was open, sort of.
Hotel manager's right
obliging, though.
Ten bucks
didn't hurt, neither.
Let's go, buddy,
come on.
Don't go, Miles.
I'm sorry.
But we're a family !
Cal, don't do this.
He needs
a stable home.
What are you saying,
I ain't a good daddy ?
I'm still your daddy,
right, buddy ?
I-- I told everybody that
you-- you would come back.
Let me do
the talking, buddy.
Let's go.
Send it to the address
on the paper.
Let's go, Bob.
( Bob )
Merry Christmas.
I'm so sorry.
Is there anything
I can do ?
Don't worry, honey.
I'll-- I'll
take the girls.
Come here, sweetie.
Come on, Aunt Carol's gonna
take you for a walk.
( Martha )
Thank you.
Come on, come on.
What about you, Mama ?
Just go with them,
okay ?
I need to be alone.
Bye, Mama.
Come on, honey.
( Martha )
You really need
to be more cautious
with your little sister.
She's not my sister !
Half-sister, then.
and w-w-waited--
and waited for Dad,
this would not have happened !
Why didn't you tell me ?
Don't make a big deal.
Oh, my gosh, how could
I not make a big deal ?
I'll handle this.
Please.
( Miles )
She's not my mom.
She is now.
No, she just married my dad,
that's all.
You wanna help her ?
Finish the tree ?
It'll be our surprise.
We did good.
( Mel )
No, he doesn't
work like that.
worry a while
until you get something,
then later, you believe
in Him.
Only you gotta pray, though.
( Martha )
I don't think I'm very good
at that, either.
That's the easy part.
You don't have to be.
You just
have to do it.
( crying )
God...
... I know I haven't
prayed before.
There isn't
anything else I can do.
I've done everything I can.
I can't lose Miles
and I'm out of options.
I never asked
for any handouts...
