Just wondering.

Well, if you'd like to give me

your name and login,

I can check your video feed to see if

there's anything abnormal going on.

Uh, you can do that?

That's, no, that's fine. I don't need that.

That's not necessary.

Thank you, very much.

Sara?

Where's Bobby?

I sent him

to stay with a friend.

You forgot to log out, Pete.

I don't know what

that showed you, but...

Everything.

I saw everything.

I just want to know one thing.

Why'd you do it?

Because he had what I wanted,

and I was tired of being nice.

Oh, Pete.

That is the hottest thing

you have ever said.

Hey! Everyone's gone. I'm going

to go ahead and lock up.

And I made this,

just the way you like it.

Oh, ed.

You don't look so good.

I hope you aren't afraid

of the dark, ed.

Should've given me

that bonus, ed.

Mmm.

This is what happens

to scrooges like you.

Ain't the holidays hell?

Uvu uvu shows you you!

Pete, you awake?

Remember he is watching

merry Christmas

written and directed by

Scott Stewart

sweet memories

choo-choo

chose me!

My bunny

I didn't want to

have to do this.

You know, I kept pushing it off.

Trick or treat

I didn't want

to ruin another holiday.

I wanted to pretend like

everything was okay.

Merry merry!

But you...

You.

I mean I thought

that when you...

When you got to know me...

You know, when you saw

the real me, that you'd...

Ah, never mind.

Tonight at midnight,

I want to kiss someone

who makes me feel

like I can take

the tape off their lips.

God damn it.

Sorry about that.

Let me try that again.

Jesus Christ.

Mandy. Mandy.

Hey.

Reggief

can't be worse

than the last one.

How is it?

They're great. They're the

best chicken fingers.

They, they bread them

with frosted flakes.

My mom didn't let me

eat sugary cereal.

You know, rots your teeth.

My teeth aren't rotten.

You, you must brush a lot.

- Do you brush a lot?

- I don't know. I guess so.

Let me see 'em.

What?

Let me see those pearly whites.

I bet they sparkle.

- Let me see

those choppers, come on.

Yeah. I knew it.

You have great teeth.

That was... that was...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That was, um,

it's just the nerves.

That's the problem with these

first dates, you know.

If people got to know

the real me,

you know, they would love me.

But, you know, they

never get to meet me.

You know, because it's just...

Because the, the nerve monster

just rears its ugly head.

Most guys I date online

just want to hook up.

One and done.

They act like I'm crazy for

wanting something more lasting.

Right?

You know people say that those

dating websites are bullshit

but I mean, 96 percent?

I mean, like, that's an

all-time high for me.

I mean my last girlfriend was

like an 84 percent and, you know,

yeah, no surprise that didn't,

that didn't turn out.

Mmm. What happened?

She, um... I had to...

I had to end it.

Tsk. It was for the best.

Mmm.

Sorry.

You are so much hotter

than she was.

I mean, uh... uh...

Prettier.

Should we get the check?

I'm sorry.

- For what?

- For calling you hot.

Why would you

apologize for that?

Because it made me

sound all pervy.

Like I was trying

to hook up with you.

You know.

And I know you don't

like that on a first date.

It's new year's Eve.

I'd have to be the most

unromantic gal in the world

to want to go home

to a lonely apartment.

Yup.

Do you want to go back to my

place and watch the ball drop?

- Can I take your jacket?

- Yeah.

Uh, whoa. Whoa!

Should I not?

Uh, no. It's just. Uh...

I need to use the restroom.

You know, I just...

I want to freshen up.

Okay. Great idea.

Down the hall to the right.

Ryan - Kyle

Peter - John - Reggie

uh! No, no, no, no, no.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Six!
