Happy Christmas

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

That little boy's a sweet boy.

He's such a sweet boy.

He is a sweetie.

He loves his dada so much.

He wanted to read

five books tonight.

Oh. Thank you.

The same,

one of them was the same book twice.

Thank you for doing that.

Are you gonna do

any writing tonight?

Do you want to hang out?

I mean, I feel like I have so much

to do before your sister comes.

Thanks again for driving up early today,

man.

Easy. Not a problem.

It would have been fun to listen

to this stuff tonight, but...

Yeah... my sister broke

up with her boyfriend

and thinks she wants to

live in Chicago now, so...

Not good.

Her flight gets in tonight

and I need to be

back to make sure

the house looks

okay and everything.

No, it's no problem at all.

Yeah,

did you check out that stuff I sent?

I haven't had a chance

to listen to any of it.

No?

So let's just go through...

Cool. Let's see.

Yeah.

Jeans.

Hi!

What are you guys doing?

Numbers? Yeah.

Jenny's here, or she landed.

Okay.

So she's just calling...

I know.

I'm coming down.

So she's gonna jump in a cab,

so 45 minutes or an hour. (BABY CRYING)

What's wrong?

Momma's done playing with numbers?

Can you do it with Dada?

Here you go.

Thank you so much.

Let me help with that.

Hey! How are you?

Hey, welcome, welcome.

I'm good. How are you?

Yeah.

Thank you very much.

That was...

Did you pay already?

Yes.

Okay. Great. Thank you!

Thank you very much.

You're welcome. Yep.

Have a nice night!

Sorry,

that one's... Sorry.

That's okay.

Come on in.

Hi, Dada!

Hi, baby.

Look, guess who's here!

Hey! Hi.

(LAUGHING)

It is so good to see you!

Hi! I'm so happy

to see you!

I'm in the middle of cooking.

And you're feeding me, too?

It's amazing!

Yeah, I'm, it's...

You're everything.

Look!

Hey, buddy!

Yeah? I'll...

Okay, we'll get you another graham cracker,

but first, can you say hi?

Can you say hi?

Do you remember me?

Hi.

Hi!

He won't remember me, right?

Hi. I don't know if

he would remember you.

You're giving high-fives?

Hey! Thank you.

Can you give kisses?

Can you give me...

Can you give me a kiss?

Thank you!

Can Daddy have a kiss?

Come on down.

Are you prepared for this?

Yeah, I'm excited.

You've built it up enough.

I mean, descend

with me into Polynesia.

(GROANS)

Wait till you

get a load of this.

Oh, no!

I know, right?

Are you kidding me?

Are you joking?

Check it out, lady.

I know.

This is insane!

Is this...

Everything here is from the 1950s.

We bought it exactly as you see.

It's our booze, but...

I mean, the guy came home from World

War II and built a f***ing tiki bar.

All this is...

All this is theirs.

This starfish is not yours?

None of this is ours.

Incredible, right?

What?

I mean, check this out.

What?

(SIGHS)

Is this...

This is...

the material from

the bench out there?

Yeah, I mean, the same.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

It's all of a piece.

And these are not your mallards?

These are...

All the birds in the house

were here when we got it.

Or morning-ish, 11-ish?

Nothing.

Okay. Do you think you could

babysit for a few hours

while Kelly goes out to

brunch with some friends?

Yeah, no problem.

She didn't want to ask you.

She wanted me to ask you.

Okay.

But she will give you

the rundown tomorrow.

Cool. Okay.

Well, enjoy yourself.

Okay, night.

And, yes.

Stay out as long as you want.

I'm so glad that was you.

Are you having a good time?

Yes.

Do you like people?

Everybody's so nice.

Your friends are so nice.

You think so?

Maybe they're just

being nice, but...

No, they're nice.

Are people making you nervous?

No. Everybody's...

You want me to drive you home?

No.

And I don't want to be one of

those people that just, like,

You know what I mean?

No?

I'm gonna put on some music.

It's okay.

Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Have you guys seen Jenny?

No.

Hi. Have you guys seen...

Well, her name's Jenny,

but she came with me.

She has long

brown hair and like,

kind of like an aquiline nose.

No?

So you're just saying she's in...

She's asleep in your bed?

She's passed out,

like, blackout.

And you shook her?

I shook her and I just...

I'm worried that she's gonna be sick.

That's horrible.

I'm so sorry. I know.

She was in the bathroom

for a long time,

and I don't know, and...

I'm so sorry.

Yeah, no. It's fine.

I'm gonna go handle this right now.

And we'll be out of your house

in five to seven minutes.

No, you don't even

have to leave, just...

I want to leave.

I'm embarrassed.

No, you don't want

to leave, but, yeah.
