Girlfriends of Christmas Past Page #5

- Ooh, yes!

- Okay. Hold on. Be careful.

- Okay.

- Lift up just a little.

- Yeah. [groans]

Lift up.

- Okay, good?

- Oh, yeah. Good. Yes, thank you.

- Cheers.

- Now, you just lay there.

Cheers.

All right, yeah.

Mmm.

[relieved sigh]

- Yes...

- Here, I got it.

- Okay. Now...

- I got it.

Come on, come here.

Come lay next to me.

[Megan clears throat]

That'll be...

Come on, get over here!

I'm sorry I ruined

our big date tonight.

I'm such a pain in the butt.

[Megan and Anderson laugh]

No, it's okay. It's actually kind of nice

to know you're not perfect at everything.

Mm. I still think

I'm perfect at most things.

Mm.

Come here.

[gasps]

Look at him milking her

like a dairy cow.

Until that sweet dairy cow

sends him

straight to the restroom.

- [loud gurgling]

- [Megan gasps]

What? Was that your stomach?

[loud gurgling]

What...? Be careful!

[Anderson] Give me a minute.

Hold on, let me...

[loud gurgling]

- Anderson, are you all right?

- [groaning] Yeah?

Is there anything I can do?

[Anderson] No!

I mean, I'm good, thank you!

- [Anderson farting]

- Okay, I... Maybe I should go?

[Anderson] Yeah, you know,

probably a good thing.

Just it's... My tailbone

is really just hurting me a lot.

[Anderson yelping]

Yeah. Look, Anderson, I know

what's really going on. Okay?

I have an allergy

to shellfish and I get it.

So, there's nothing

to be embarrassed about.

Do you want some acid reducers?

[gasping] That would be awesome.

That would be great.

They are in the kitchen,

above the sink,

on the right-hand side.

Thank you.

Okay. You do you,

and I'll be right back.

Acid reducers?

Go. Go...

I think we need to forget

this whole thing.

Everything we do is

bringing them closer together!

Frankly, I'm tired

of missing my cycling class

to watch the two of them

paw all over each other.

[Zoe] Maybe she's right, Livvy.

It's starting to affect

my performance at the park, too.

Princess almost cried

in front of the kids today.

No! We've come way

too far to quit now.

I mean, it's five days before the holiday

office party at the country club.

That gives us

way more than enough time

to case the joint and devise

a foolproof plan, right?

Like what?

You guys think of everything and

anything we can do to Anderson

to get us put on Santa's

naughty list.

Leave the rest up to me. Got it?

Good.

Okay.

[rock instrumental

of "Deck the Halls" playing]

Should I sit at this table?

'Cause I wouldn't want you

to think I was...

hitting on you again

or anything.

Yeah...

I'm sorry.

I was having a rough week.

I was kind of going

through a breakup and...

Can we start again?

Sure.

Thanks.

Well, thank you for meeting me.

I think you can tell

by my portfolio,

I'm really good

at conceptualizing a theme.

Okay, look.

I know you're a big hitter...

but I don't want

any extravagance.

What I need for you to do is

take our bland little clubhouse

and turn it

into a cozy holiday retreat.

Just make it homey,

like an old friend.

And this was Anderson's idea?

Because somehow...

I find that hard to believe.

Actually, it was mine.

[clears throat] Between us,

our firm has garnered

a reputation for being

a bit... cold.

So I thought the German investor and his

wife might enjoy some Christmas spirit.

So this year, I thought

maybe we'd step it down a bit.

Ah... So like a cozy

little Christmas at home.

Yeah. You think that's lame?

No, those are the best kind.

- So you'll still do it, then?

- Yes!

Under two conditions.

One, you can't tell Anderson

that you hired me.

It's been a while, so I want

to keep it a little secret.

- Okay.

- And number two.

Because I only have five days

to get this ready,

I have to bring my two

associates on board as well.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Great! We'll just need

the keys to the clubhouse

and a list of all arrivals.

Okay.

Carter? These are my associates.

It is nice to meet both of you,

So... do you ladies think you can

accomplish all that in five days?

Oh, of course! We've

practically already started.

Mm, you wouldn't believe

what we're capable of.

Great.

[knocking]

Come in!

Ty brought Thai.

And I see someone's back

in the Christmas spirits.

I think I am.

And I think it's going to be the

merriest Christmas that ever was.

Good! I am so glad

you got that whole Rudolph's

Reject thing out of your system

because we need to talk

New Year's Eve!

I was thinking we can do

an oyster bar with an open bar,

- and the bartenders can wear...

- Tyler, that sounds wonderful.

Can we talk about that

next week?

'Cause Zoe and Murphy

are coming over

and we're gonna go for this

country club Christmas thing

for Anderson's firm. It's...

Oh, so you got a new gig and you asked

Crazy One and Two for help instead of me?

Well, not exactly.

See, I couldn't use you

because we're planning on

destroying the entire weekend,

not making it pretty and perfect

like you and I would!

Tyler, please, don't be mad!

Aren't you

and the stalker sisters getting

a little out of control

with this?

What is getting back at him

going to resolve, Livvy?

It's not going

to bring him back.

I don't want Anderson back.

But you don't want this new girl

to have him, either?

I just don't want her to fall

into the same trap as we did.

I mean, if we didn't step in,

then she would be a goner.

I don't wanna leave her

as bitter and jaded as we are.

Livvy, is it even about her?

Because last I checked,

you decide if you want

to feel bitter or not.

And for the record?

I liked the Livvy

who wanted things pretty

and perfect much better.

[door slams]

[doorbell rings]

Uh-oh, someone's been naughty.

Do you remember how Anderson

freaks and squeals

any time he hears

a tiny moving object?

We named her Comet.

And Operation:
Rudolph's Revenge

just got realz, yo!

[Christmas song playing]

On a cold December night

Feels so good to know that

you'll soon be by my side

Life moves fast

Gotta slow it down

Let's drink this moment in

right here, right now

So raise a glass

Raise a glass

Celebrate today

and give thanks to the past

So raise a glass

Raise a glass

All right, give a little love

share a little smile

Spread a little hope

'cause it's Christmas time

Raise a glass

The table's set

And we're all here

It's that season

when you get that feeling

Of holiday cheer...

[Livvy] Okay, I'm gonna start

untying the tree

and then we can do

some decorating and defiling!

Life is better when you've got

something good to share

So raise a glass

Raise a glass

Celebrate today

and give thanks...

[Livvy, grunting]

Okay, tree. Okay!

And you gotta go!

- Can I help with that?

- [screams]

[Livvy] Okay.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean

to startle you.

Yeah, and watch me fall

and eat tree.

You gotta admit, you're not the

stealthiest person on the planet.

Oh, I have stealth

like you've never seen before.

She says with...

bark all in her hair.

Here, let me help you with this
