but Tiny Tots is just too...

oh, Mariah Carey!

What the hell

are you doing?!

This is a

Pontiac Grand Prix!

I'm sorry, okay?!

But I can't let Dinkleman

get away with this!

I refuse to sit back and let Jamie

get used by another a**hole!

You could've asked!

L.A. Guys are so dramatic.

- I'm sorry!

- Okay.

- Christmas, Christmas...

- Oh my God.

You know, one good snowfall

and you won't see any of this.

Where sleigh bells ringing

and go jingle-ling

Spreading

Christmas cheer.

Hi, Mr. Palamino.

How are you?

Come to destroy

the rest of the house, huh?

Look, I'm really sorry

about yesterday.

- Ho-ho-ho.

- And that.

Look, I know you hate me, but I need

to speak with Jamie. Where is she?

- She's gone off with Mr. Lee.

- Dry cleaner?

- No. Dusty, you jackass.

- Where are they?

- I've been workin' on the railroad...

- No, Chris! This way.

All the livelong day

I've been workin'

on the railroad

Just to pass

the time away

Can't you hear

the whistle blowing?

Rise so early

in the morn'

- Dinkleman!

- Can't you hear the captain shouting?

- Chris, what're you doing here?

- I need to talk to you.

Dusty!

Yes!

- I really need to speak with you!

- This next number

- is for your favorite teacher and mine.

- Let's go.

She put this wonderful concert

together for all of us.

Give a big round of applause

to Miss Jamie Palamino.

When Jamie smiles

It takes me miles

From where I've...

God, I still can't believe

he wrote me that song.

Oh I can. He's been working on that song

since high school, remember?

It's like the stalker's

national anthem.

Not to mention I already heard

that song today,

only it was Janice's eyes

that made him smile.

- Janice? Who's Janice?

- A nurse with really big b*obs

that works at the medical center. A girl

I saw him kissing earlier tonight.

Dusty's a Jersey player,

Jamie!

He's out

for revenge on you

for putting him in the friend zone

in high school.

What are you

talking about?

The guy's looking

for the anger bang!

Amazing! That's exactly

what he said about you.

- Don't you see what's happening here?

- Oh, I don't know.

The guy's just

out-playing me, that's all.

Oh, it's about you!

Now he's out-playing you!

- W-what am I, a game?

- No!

Would you guys like

to join us in a carol

- to celebrate the birth of our Lord?

- No!

My God, don't!

Dusty! Don't!

- Dinkleman!

- What is the matter with you?

This is a Christmas

concert for children!

- You liar!

- Suckster's not your boyfriend, is he?

- No, he's not!

- 'Cause we like Dusty.

Dusty! Dusty!

Dusty! Dusty!

- Ugh!

- Dusty! Dusty! Dusty...!

Oooh!

I'm being framed!

I'm being framed!

- Dusty!

- Dinkleman!

Man, when you come back to town,

you come back to town!

Huh? Huh?

Look, don't sweat it.

W-w-we'll go

to The Maple tonight

You can apologize

to Jamie

and everything will be just...

just peachy.

Okay, yep, good.

Thanks, Clark, for everything.

See you in another 10 years.

Guess not.

How'd it go with Jamie last night?

You boink her?

That would be a no.

Raise you hand

if your brother's a homo!

All right.

Keep in touch!

You believe that?

Not one taxi, not one.

Stupid town.

I gotta take the bus!

Dude, bus sucks!

Yes!

I am outta here!

So long, Sucktown!

Kiss my ass!

Hey, Mr. Bus Driver Man.

Hey...

pull my finger.

Come on, pull my finger.

- Aw!

- Yoo-hoo!

- Great.

- Jamie!

- Whoa, miss, miss. W-w-whoa.

- What? What, what, wha...

- what, Chris? What do you want?

- I just want to apologize.

I'm sorry.

I was out of line, okay?

- You're an a**hole.

- Oh, my... I was...

Hey, I'm gonna get you a cab

and take you home, huh?

- She's so sensitive!

- You blew it. I'm winning.

- You're the Devil.

- So go ahead, just go sleep it off.

You'll be right as rain

in the morning, brother.

Chris, you're drunk!

Go home!

I'm not drunk.

What's this?

Ooh.

"Simply Dusty"

Is there any other kind?

That's adorable.

Do you know what else

is adorable? You two.

Hey! Stop bringing Dusty

into your problems, okay?

Dusty and I are fine.

- Dusty and I are friends.

- Right!

- Not for too long, I hope.

- Yeah...

Wait, what?

Slow down.

What did you just say?

Jamie, listen, I've been

meaning to talk to you.

L... about our

relationship.

Maybe we could take

the next step or something?

Dusty, can I be honest with you?

- I think you're a really nice guy.

- Thank you.

I think you're funny

and charming and sweet,

and I just don't have

those feelings for you.

- You're kidding.

- No.

Whew!

Okay, 'cause... cause I wrote you

that song and everything,

you know, and I worked

really hard on it

and what kind of girl would you be if you

didn't put out for the guy that wrote

- you that song, you know what mean?

- Huh?

F-this. I'm mobile.

Ah-ha!

I'm gonna miss him!

- Oh!

- Ow!

- What? Heh.

- Eh!

Get off me, Chris!

Why are you here?

Why do you keep

messing with my head?

I messed with your head

for three days.

You've been torturing me

since the sixth grade!

So that's what

this is about?

Because I wouldn't screw you

in high school? Get over yourself!

Oh, after years of you

being the biggest tease,

trust me,

I'm so over myself.

Oh, so now

I'm the tease.

I practically

throw myself at you

the other night

and you did nothing!

And now you know

how it feels.

I'm outta here.

Yeah, there you go.

Just walk away like you always do!

Oh, no no no.

I'm-I'm not walking away.

I'm running back

to my great life in L.A.!

- Great. Well, have fun.

- Oh, you have fun...

being the girl

who peaked in high school.

- Ooohh!

- You slap like a cheerleader.

Bye, Chris.

And stay out!

I've always wanted

to say that.

How did you

get in here?

My bodyguard

let me in.

I was making cookies.

Oh, I was trying

to be all domesticated

like that skank you were

banging behind my back.

Please leave me alone.

No, sh-sh-sh-sh!

Hugs and kisses!

It's all good, baby,

it's all good.

By making me jealous on purpose

you inspire me to write the best songs,

you know,

full of angst and hate!

You like that.

You and I are gonna be

the greatest musical

manager team

since Jessica Simpson

and her father...

only we get to "mreow"

and they can't,

'cause it's illegal.

I looked it up.

This is the new and improved

"Forgiveness."

Forgiveness

Is more than

sayin' sorry

Are you sorry?

Ha ha!

Forgiveness.

- No.

- No?

- No more.

- But I've forgiven you!

- It's just like the song...

- Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh...

This isn't about you.

It's cool, you can have other girls.

I like girls.

Darla!

I don't want other girls.

I want one girl.

- That's not you.

- Hmph.

Look.

I'll call...

Ouch.

- Why don't you like me?

- It's a little hard to answer

with a taser in my balls!

This is about Santa's

little whore, isn't it?

Ooh yeah,

it's go time.

Hey, hey, hey!

It's not go time!

This isn't how it works,

Samantha.

You can't force or-or torture

someone into liking you.
