You.

Me?

Her?!

That's right.

The head office decided

it would be best.

You've been deprived

of the past for so long,

you'll be granted

the knowledge

of all of it.

Hey!

What about me?

What am I supposed to do?

Don't worry.

We have a position

all lined up for you.

[laughing]

[screaming]

Is she okay?

She'll be fine.

She was just given

the memories of

all of civilization.

Give her a moment

to adjust.

I want my mommy.

I want my mommy!

[crying]

Mommy!

Ahh!

Ahh.

So what happens to me?

It's Christmas.

You get to go home.

And I'll take you.

Whoa, it's here.

It's still here.

Oh.

What a night, huh?

It was great.

And what you said

to your wife

was pretty good.

It felt good.

Oh, Jack, you and I...

No, you don't have

to say anything.

I gotta...

Just try not to forget me.

Oh, I won't.

I will always

remember you...

now that I can.

Merry Christmas, Jack.

God bless us, every one.

Mmm!

Dad?

Honey!

Oh! Oh, thank God

you're here, baby.

How are you?

Oh, boy!

Where have you

been all night?

What day is it?

Well, it's Christmas Day.

It's Christmas!

Oh, great!

Perfect! Thank you!

Oh!

Are you drunk?

No!

No, I haven't had a drink

since 1978.

Look, Dad, I'm sorry

for calling you a psycho.

No, honey.

Don't be sorry

because I was a psycho.

I was a crazy psycho!

You are drunk.

No, no, no,

listen to me, baby.

Christmas should

never be forgotten.

It's a time to be kind

to strangers and--

and celebrate life.

Merry Christmas,

sweetheart!

Merry Christmas, Dad.

Okay.

Okay, go get changed.

Where are we going?

We're gonna go spread

some Christmas joy.

Are you kidding me?

Come on! Hey!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Merry Christmas to you, too.
