All Is Bright Page #6

Synopsis: Two French Canadian ne'er-do-wells travel to New York City with a scheme to get rich quick selling Christmas trees. Easygoing charmer Rene (Paul Rudd) clashes with misanthropic ex-con Dennis (Paul Giamatti), whose wife Rene just stole. Still, this odd couple must make an honest go of it in this buddy comedy.

Hello?

It's the blind man

who bought a tree from you.

Hey, man. Oh!

Oh, you're kidding.

Back away from the money.

I said back away from it!

F*** you.

You don't want to do this.

- Go f*** yourself!

I will kill you!

Go f*** yourself!

If you want me to, I will!

Go ahead!

It's Christmas. Nobody shoots

anybody at Christmas.

Go f*** yourself!

Dennis, give him the box.

I'll blow your goddamn head off!

Go f*** yourself!

Denn...

Take it! Take it!

Just take it.

Just take it.

Now go f*** yourself.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Holy Chri...

Oh.

Are you okay?

Me? Yeah.

Oh, thank God.

Jesus Christ, what about you?

That guy wasn't blind.

No sh*t.

All right, all right, all right.

It was in the box.

Huh?

The ring.

Okay.

The ring was in the box.

All right.

It was in the box.

I know.

Dennis.

You're all right.

Dennis, the ring...

Rene, come on.

It was in the box.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

God damn! I can't!

Hey!

The trees are innocent, man.

I can't go home with nothing!

The trees are blameless, man.

God damn it.

I can't leave with nothing.

I was this close.

# Kiss me, baby,

like you love me... #

# Reach out

from the sky above me... #

# Hold me, baby, kiss me slow

# Kiss me, baby...

Hey.

# Like you need me...

- No.

You have to tell her. I can't.

I don't know what to say.

Since when?

I'm the one that cheers her up.

Right. Okay, then f*** it.

I'm gonna do that.

No, don't.

No, no, no.

No.

# Like you love me

# Reach out from the...

Hey. What are you...

how are you?

Rene, I'm so happy

to hear your voice.

Oh.

Uh, yeah, yours...

yours too.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Rene?

Yes. Yeah. Um...

Yeah, there's something

I have to tell you.

Uh...

we were robbed.

Christ, Rene.

Rene.

Just come home.

Just come home.

Hi.

What?

No.

It's the only way.

No.

Even if I thought okay,

no, they're back,

the dentists,

from Hole of Jackson.

I thought you said that they were

gone till after the holiday.

It is their house. If they want

to come back, they come back.

Okay, well, then we're just gonna

have to do it after they're asleep.

Believe me,

I hate these dentists.

Want to know Merry Christmas

I get from them?

"Oh, Olga, we're going

to fix your teeth

so they look like teeth of Vanna White from

'Fortune's Wheel.'"

Do they ever fix

Olga's teeth? No.

They ski slalom

in Hole of Jackson.

Believe me,

I hate these f***ing dentists,

but, yeah...

You must have Russian blood.

Why?

You do what you must.

I'll leave back window open.

It is not on grid.

Just do everything I tell

you to do, like you used to.

Dennis, I swore to her.

I swo... I swore to...

you did too.

Yeah, that was before we got

robbed of every last dollar.

You really want

to go back with nothing?

No, no, no, no.

But I can't lie to her.

What the f*** are you doing?

I'm threatening to kill you

unless you help me.

And that way,

it'll all be on me.

My fault.

Man, that's...

Wow.

She regularly let you in here?

That's a testament, man.

This place is nice.

Maybe she liked you.

Shh, shh, shh.

No, no, no, no.

Don't touch that.

How do you expect me

to get in if I...?

We're not stealing that.

We're stealing this.

You brought me here

to steal a f***ing piano?

Shh, shh, shh.

Yeah.

How much... how much

do you love jail?

No. Do you remember

that Sorel job?

It's gonna be easy.

Remember that?

We got the whole safe out.

You are a dumb, dumb fuckhead.

Find your own way home.

I promised her one.

Who?

Michi.

You talked to her?

In my head.

I promised Michi

a piano in my head.

Steady, steady, steady.

Got it?

Hold on. Hold on.

Fu...

Merry Christmas.

Come on.

I just think it's a really

personal decision, though,

if you go with an epidural or

you have a natural childbirth.

You know, as long as the baby

is born, I suppose.

I read this one thing...

is it Scientology?

Where they have

a baby in water.

And they don't scream.

So that the baby

isn't brought into the world

with any kind

of negative energy or ions.

Signs of forced entry.

Looks like there might be some

footprints in the courtyard.

We don't know yet.

The piano is obviously missing.

We've got furniture

in disarray.

And...

oh, oh, there's books

that are stacked in, like...

can I help you?

I work here.

We've got books

stacked in piles...

# When someone very dear

# Calls you with the words

"everything's all clear" #

# That's what you want to hear

# But you know it might be

different in the new year #

# That's why, that's why

# We hang the lights so high

# Joy

# Joy

# You loved it as a kid

# And now you need it more

than you ever did #

# It's because of the dark

# We see the beauty

in the spark #

# That's why, that's why

# The carols make you cry

# Joy

# Joy

# Joy

# Joy

# Tinsel on the tree

# Yes, I see

# The holly on the door

# Like before

# The candles in the gloom

# Light the room

# The Sally Army band

# Yes, I understand

# So light the winds of fire

# And watch as the flames

grow higher #

# We'll gather up our fears

# And face down

all the coming years #

# And all that they destroy

# And in their face

# We throw our joy

# Joy

# Joy

# It's why

# We hang the lights so high

# And gaze at the glow

# Of silver birches

in the snow #

# Because of the dark

# We see the beauty

in the spark #

# We must be all right

# If we could make up

# Christmas night.
