A Nanny for Christmas Page #7

- Ditto.

- All right.

Are you crazy?

Aren't you supposed to take

Samantha's kids to that party?

Were you eavesdropping on

my conversation?

A little.

I'm just gonna have to be consultant/

girlfriend/date to Justin,

and nanny to Samantha

and the kids.

If Justin finds out you've been

lying to him this whole time,

he's not gonna forgive you.

It's over.

If Samantha finds out I've been

dating Justin behind her back

and feeding him pitch ideas,

there's no telling what she'll do.

This is the last time

I'm recommending you for a job.

Get out of here.

He's coming back.

# When the Christmas lights

are twinkling #

# And the glistening snow

has fallen... #

Ally:
Okay, guys,

Operation Incognito is in effect.

I'm going in.

You guys wait for me at the bar.

If I'm not back by the stroke of midnight,

- burn my stocking.

- Jonas:
Good luck.

Now remember,

you guys are the lookouts.

You've got to keep your eyes

on your mother at all times.

- Jackie:
Good luck, Miss Leeds.

- Thank you.

No, I skinned the rhinoceros.

And that's the end.

Endless.

Expression was stone-cold

till the very end

when he told us

we had the account.

Look look look.

Ah, look who's here.

Hi, my princess.

- Hello, my prince.

- Hello.

- Meet Jeff, Peter.

- Hey, guys. How you doin' there?

- This is Jonas and Jackie.

- Looking sharp.

Guys, why don't you go

get something to eat?

I think there's

a vegetable platter over there.

Go try it- broccoli,

carrots, celery.

Ally, I'd like to

introduce you to some people.

This is Jeff from Accounting.

Miss Ally Leeds, my nanny.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you.

- And Peter from Operations.

- It's a pleasure.

- Good to meet you.

- Did Justin get here?

Not yet.

Fashionably late as usual.

- There he is.

- Ah, Justin.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

- Hold on.

I want to introduce you to someone.

The man of the hour,

Justin Larose.

Miss Ally Leeds.

- It's a pleasure.

- Nice to meet you.

- Pardon me one moment.

- Mm-hmm.

You okay?

No, I- I need to

tell you something.

- What?

- I'm not really-

We heard you really rocked

that Donner pitch.

Yeah, good work.

Yeah. Do you guys know Ally Leeds?

She works for Samantha.

- Yeah, she's Samantha's-

- Jeff and Peter, of course,

from Accounts and Operations.

How's everything adding up over there?

You guys having fun?

Excuse me. I need to

step away for a second.

Huh.

She usually doesn't act

mentally disturbed.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to take you back in time,

back to when Danny Donner

was just a little boy-

a little boy

who like to eat chocolate,

especially around Christmas time.

And it was around that time

where young Danny Donner

had a big dream-

a dream to be the biggest

chocolatier

in the world.

People made fun of me.

They laughed.

Some people say that dreamers

walk around this earth

with their head in the clouds.

Well, I say it's better to walk with

your head in the clouds dreaming

than with your feet

on the ground sleepwalking.

Right now I'd like to take this moment

to recognize a gentleman

whose pitch brought me back

to the memories of my youth.

Justin Larose, come on up here.

Come on up and say a few words.

Thank you.

Um, wow, this is unexpected.

For as long

as I've worked here,

I've worked very hard

to come up with dynamic pitches.

And- we all have.

And when our backs

were against the wall,

we all- we all dug deep.

To be quite honest,

I had some- some trouble

finding the right pitch

for Donner.

But then something

happened to me.

I met a beautiful girl

who not only won my heart,

but came up with

a great idea that inspired my pitch.

So all of this praise

actually belongs to her,

a consultant who's worked

for the company for quite some time

in the New York office-

Ally Leeds.

Ally?

Where are you, Ally?

Huh, I don't know where she went off to.

But anyway, merry Christmas,

happy Hanukkah

and drink all night.

# Joy to the world,

the Lord has come #

# Let earth receive her king #

# And every heart #

# Prepare... #

Ally?

Where you goin'?

Uh, I'm taking the kids home.

I'm not feeling well.

Really?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I-

Hey, Samantha.

So you two have been

seeing each other

behind my back?

Yeah.

And I'm sorry, Samantha.

I wanted to tell you. I-

Justin, look, just because I don't

believe in mixing business and pleasure

doesn't mean that you have to.

I mean, one never knows where

Cupid's arrow might land.

But before you fall too deeply,

you might want to know that Miss Leeds

has never been a consultant here.

What are you-

what are you talking about?

You tell him.

I am-

I'm her nanny.

What?

Is that true?

Jonas, Jackie,

we're going back to the party.

Oh, Miss Leeds, don't bother

coming to work tomorrow.

You're fired.

You've been lying to me?

I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you.

I just-

Miss Leeds?

I know what you're going through.

Don't let him get away.

Justin, wait.

- Justin:
Are you okay?

- Ally:
I'm fine.

You've got a little something

on your chin.

- Good?

- Yeah.

- # You can't control... #

- I gotta go.

# The way of the world so #

# Live in the moment #

# With love in your hearts #

# And all of our memories

frozen in time... #

Justin:

Well, this must be my lucky day.

Ally:

Hey, it's the raspberry-scone guy.

- Yeah, otherwise known as Justin Larose.

- Ally Leeds,

also known as Ally Leeds.

Justin:
It's just

I've never met anyone like you.

And I don't understand how you

could be so perfect.

# Better than this #

# Better than this. #

- Are you awake?

- Yeah.

I miss Miss Leeds.

She was the best nanny

we ever had.

I don't understand why

Mother had to fire her.

She helped everyone.

It was a rotten thing to do

around Christmas time.

Breakfast!

- Pancakes?

- Yeah.

I remember they used

to be your favorite, right?

Aren't they unhealthy?

Come in, it's open.

Good morning.

So everybody was worried when you

didn't come into the office today.

Mmm. There are gonna be

some changes around here.

Fantastic.

But I still need your signature

for these Donner account files.

Mmm.

So should I tell everybody

that you won't be coming in today?

Yeah sure. We can talk about it

more at the Christmas party.

- Christmas party?

- We're having a party?

Yeah. I decided it just doesn't

feel like Christmas around here

without having a party

like we used to, you know?

- Will Daddy be coming?

- Yeah, will Daddy be coming?

I'm really not sure.

- You look terrible.

- Thank you, but I'm fine.

You should have some pancakes.

Um, ahem, did your mother

just offer me pancakes?

So will you be coming

to the Christmas party?

- I wouldn't miss it.

- Will you be bringing a date?

Miss Leeds?

Um, I don't think so, no.

- Well, it would be nice to see her.

- Yeah.

It would be nice

to see her again.

Listen, I'll talk to you guys later.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Bye, Samantha.

- Bye, Justin. Oh!

Almost forgot-
