Buster's Mal Heart Page #5

---

It does, doesn't it?

Nice young man is making

dinner for us.

It's going to be all right, Will.

It'll be okay.

Oh, isn't that wonderful?

- Looks good, doesn't it, Will?

- Mm.

Oh, no, please, we...

No guns at the table.

Rounding out 24 hours of sacred music

on this Christmas night,

that was "Carol of the Bells"...

Hmm.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Whoop-whoop-whoop.

Mmm.

Mmm!

Hmm-mm-mm.

Oh.

Where's your coat?

Never gave me

my birthday present.

I never...

He came to the party

and he didn't have a present.

Even though I was getting told

for a person's birthday

without bringing a present...

But I didn't have... Hmm.

It was a good birthday,

though, wasn't it?

Mm, mm-hmm.

Well... I expected him

to go home,

but he didn't go home

and he didn't have a present

and he didn't ever

bring me a present.

That's the biggest

disappointment I ever had.

No, that's not true.

I dreamed that I...

I got cowboy chaps.

I got cowboy chaps and I woke up

and I...

I went...

Oh, that's wonderful.

I went to my closet

and I looked for my cowboy chaps

and they weren't there.

Yeah.

And I asked my mother,

"Where are my chaps?"

And she didn't know

what I was talking about.

And I was inconsolable.

That was a long time ago, Will.

Oh, you brought

some more things for us.

That's really wonderful.

My favorite pillow.

This should be very

comfortable for tonight.

How long do you plan

on keeping us down here?

Thank you. Do you think

maybe we could talk in the morning about...

Oh, very nice.

Oh, that'll do great.

Thank you.

Let's, let's talk...

Oh, that's lovely.

And again, maybe tomorrow...

Hey, Jonah,

would you mind coming down

to the station tomorrow?

I just have a couple of additional

questions I want to ask you.

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.

Hey, by the way,

what time did you say

that homeless man came in?

- It was late.

- Hmm.

Sometime after midnight.

Hmm.

See, the thing is,

we looked over

all of that security footage

from the lobby security camera.

We didn't find anyone

matching his description.

As a matter of fact,

nobody came in after midnight.

I... I'm sorry to bother you

on a day like today.

"A... men."

The holy father

has a plan for us all.

We may not understand

his reasons,

but we must never doubt

that he has them.

Now, at this time,

I'd like to invite Jonah,

Marty's husband

and Roxanne's father,

to say a few words.

It's impossible.

It's impossible.

I don't believe it.

Uh... the procession to the graveside...

Young man, this has

gone on long enough.

You let us out of here

and I won't call the cops.

Bob, how was your trip?

How was your drive up here?

- Honey.

- I know. Did you take 80?

- Honey, this is not Bob!

- Did you take 80?

I want you to let us out

of here now.

Do you understand?

We've had enough.

It's not a game anymore.

You need to let us go.

Take whatever it is you want.

We had the most

beautiful purple tree.

No, no!

What are you doing?

I didn't know the name of it.

What... what are you doing?

Don't want your pants!

We want to get out of here!

Please, let us out of here! Please!

Gathered stories of hope and

inspiration from across the nation

in a segment we like to call

"Christmas Miracles."

After a hurricane tore through

Kathy Rose's Corpus Christi home in May,

she found a nativity

hand-painted by her late mother

was smashed to pieces.

She kept the shards wrapped

in newspaper in the attic.

She couldn't bring herself

to throw them away.

On Christmas morning,

she decided to unwrap the broken pieces

to see if she could perhaps

glue some of the figures back together,

and then she saw it.

Baby Jesus was intact.

He was perfect.

When I saw him, I sat down

in the chair and just started crying

because I knew that God

and all his angels

had been watching out for me.

That's how I survived the storm.

In another story

of faith and survival,

a note in a bottle washed up

on a San Diego beach yesterday

just in time for Christmas.

The note was in Spanish.

Translated, it said,

"My name is Onus Quato."

I've been lost at sea

for 1,000 days.

"The water has always been calm."

We managed to track down

information on Onus Quato

and confirmed he was lost

on a commercial fishing voyage

during a storm off the coast

of Mexico and presumed dead.

When his mother was delivered

the note by San Diego police,

she was overcome with hope.

I love you so much.

You are lost, son.

But God...

God above...

He can help you.

You must give your heart

to the Holy Father.

Let Him enter your soul

and you will be changed.

I promise you.

Please, I am begging,

hear my prayer.

Give your heart...

to God.

Confused?

Afraid?

Unsure of who you really are?

Are you looking for advice

about love or loss?

Do you have questions about

the true nature of reality?

Call for a free consultation

and you'll talk one-on-one

with Doctor Tabitha Moon.

She's live in the studio now

waiting for your call.

Please! Help us!

Greetings.

I'm here to share my gift.

The number is there

on the edge of the screen.

Call me now

and I will do my best to answer

whatever question is in your heart.

Hello?

This is Doctor Moon.

Hey, Dr. Moon.

I've been feeling lost

lately, you know,

figuring out

what my true purpose is.

And I've been thinking about...

just quitting my job,

but I don't really know...

Howdy.

Good morning.

- Is this your house?

- It is.

What's your name?

Bob.

Oh, you're old

Willie's son, aren't you?

You look just like him,

I have to say.

You're probably sick and tired of

hearing that though, aren't you?

Say, are your folks up here

for the holidays as well?

They're just in town; They went

to get some provisions.

I see. Well, I don't want

to disturb your holiday,

but we're out here

just telling people

that, uh, Buster the mountain man

has been seen roaming our area,

and if you guys stay home,

you know, he won't disturb you,

but just keep a watch out, yeah?

And let us know if you see

or hear anything suspicious.

Just give us, give us a holler.

- Will do.

- All right.

Have a nice holiday.

Happy holidays to you too.

I'll tell the folks you said hello.

- Thank you, bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.

...what your dream is to live.

Why are you here?

That's what you want to work on.

That's the most

important question.

Thank you.

Thank you for calling.

Finished with the homes

on the western side.

I'm going to go downriver.

Did you hit the Bowery

cabin over at James Pond?

Affirmative. Spoke to Bob.

Say again?

I spoke to Bob Bowery.

No sign of Buster on his land.

Joe, Bob Bowery's

been dead for years.

Either you've seen a ghost

or that was Buster.

Tonight, light a candle for him

and say a healing prayer.

Thank you.

Thank you for calling.

Who's next?

I want to serve you.

The telephone number

is on the screen.

I'm here, live,

waiting for your call.

Hello, this is Doctor Moon.

Where am I?

I'm not sure

I understand the question.
