Jolly old Saint Nicholas

Lean your ear this way

Don't you tell a single soul

What I'm going to say

[Daisy]

What can I get you?

Christmas Eve is coming soon

Now, you dear old man

Whisper

What you'll bring to me

Tell me if you can

[harp]

Jolly old Saint Nicholas

Lean your ear this way

Don't you tell a single soul

[indistinct conversations]

Tony, can I get

a refill on that? Regular.

Then we've got dark, decaf,

americano and espresso.

[song continues]

- Piping hot.

- Thank you, sir.

No, thank you, Daisy.

I don't know how you do it.

It's in the air.

Everybody's in the holiday

spirit, can't you feel it?

Yeah, but you're

especially chipper.

I know, I'm super excited.

I'll be home for the first

time in two years.

I saved all my money to get

my family great presents.

I get to spend

the whole six weeks,

all the holidays.

I don't think I'm going to bed

tonight, I'll go for a run.

- Stay young, kid.

- Lord knows I'm trying, Tony.

[clinking together]

Now, you dear old man

Whisper

What you'll bring to me

Tell me if you can

["Deck the Halls" playing]

[bushes rustling]

[trembling breath]

[heavy footsteps]

No!

No!

[slosh]

[gurgles]

Deck the halls

With boughs of holly

Fa la la la la la la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa la la la la la la la la

Troll the ancient

Christmas carol

- Hey, beautiful tree, guys.

- Yeah, he cut it off himself.

- Yeah, I did.

- Nice job, bud.

How much we owe you?

What's your name?

- Rudolph.

- Like the reindeer?

Yeah, I get that a lot.

[girls cheering]

Smell that pine!

Thanks for bringing us

up here, Cut.

Yeah, breathe it in, dude.

I'm going to find me

the perfect tree.

Are you girls getting one?

Maybe, what do you think, Margo,

do we have room?

I don't know,

I'm here for the party.

[Cutler chuckles] Yeah!

Last year, Cutler and I

found the cutest tree,

I knew we had to come back.

You've been here before?

Hell yeah, found this place on

a random road trip in college.

Oh, you mean the stoner drive?

That's awesome.

You have to come

the first weekend

or all the good trees are gone.

That makes sense.

Oh my god, I'm just noticing

your sweater, it's Blitzen?

It's funny.

Don't worry we are definitely

gonna get Blitzen.

[all chuckling]

Yeah we are.

- Game!

- Game!

Wait, what are we doing?

It's like, it's game,

it's like...

It's like challenge or dare.

Someone says game

and we all have to play.

Like these Christmas sweaters.

That's why I have to wear

this hideous thing.

Aha!

Let's go chop

some f***ing trees!

All right, what do we have here?

Saws.

All right.

- Roberto.

- Thank you.

[loud laughter]

- And, Art, this is yours.

- Thank you.

Oh, yeah!

God.

- Babe?

- No, thank you.

This place is awesome.

Yeah, except there's no

cell service.

You think they'll be able

to fix it by now.

[Bella] What's that building

across the way?

Some homeless refuge, like ew.

Used to be some fancy hotel,

but people stopped going there.

Now, just

the occasional squatter.

Wouldn't go anywhere near

if I were you.

Why not?

It's a real dangerous place.

Yeah, well, looks pretty sick,

like a movie or something

That's super creepy.

I love creepy.

Oh, it's real creepy,

I'd stay away if I were you.

This guy is so creepy.

Are we talking about

how creepy this sh*t it is

or are we chopping down

some f***ing trees?

- Yeah!

- Let's do it!

Where are your Colorado?

Back lot, up over the hill.

Truck will pick you up,

we close in an hour.

Sun down, you better be ready.

You got it, man.

Ok, thank you, thank you.

Ok, let's do it!

[indistinct chatting]

- How do you know Margo?

- We work together.

Nice,

so you are in wardrobe too?

Yeah, I mean, mostly we just

follow the designer around,

take notes, grab coffee,

run errands, that sort of thing.

Yeah, it is fun.

How do you know these guys?

I actually just found

Art and Cutler on Craigslist.

They needed a roommate

I just moved out here,

Thing just kind of...

You know, worked out well.

- From where?

- Iowa.

I'm from New Mexico.

- Oh, wow, long way from home.

- Yeah, it is.

But I really like it here,

I mean,

there's so much more going on.

Fair enough.

- Game.

- What are we playing?

Greens for the greenery.

I'm one with the trees.

- Margo, you know I don't...

- Really?

It's like not that hardcore.

- I mean, have you ever even?

- Yes, I have.

[silent]

Whatever, let's play.

Yo, let's get out of the path.

Good call.

Is that guy always so f***ing

agreeable and cheery?

Come on, it's better

than being an a**hole.

Robbie is a good dude,

ain't nothing wrong.

I think he's sweet.

Well, f*** you, guys.

Ok, just ignore her,

she's just...

Being a b*tch.

No, that was not

what I was going to say.

But it's the same thing.

It's cool, guys,

doesn't bother me.

[coughs]

[all laughing]

That's how you do it.

Bella, catch.

- Why not, right?

- There you go, Kate.

Take it all in, baby.

Game, game.

Game!

Frolic.

Sounds naughty.

So pair up, go into the forest,

and do ever your dirty

little mind's desire.

I've got Cutler, obviously.

Obviously.

Okay.

Well, we have already played,

so...

Let's go newbies.

Okay.

Margo.

So, I didn't really know we were

taking on when I signed up.

It's cool, don't worry.

We don't have to do anything,

I'm down to just chill.

Awesome, okay.

Or we could keep drinking.

I think I'm going

to take a pass.

I'm already feeling

pretty light-headed.

Do you? No worries.

You know, I think most of these

games are stupid anyway.

What's the point of frolic

when Cutler always gets Bella?

We're not spinning

a bottle or anything random.

- So you're into Bella?

- I mean...

We had a thing once in college,

but like...

she wasn't feeling me.

She was more into Cutler.

And that doesn't make things

awkward between you guys?

Those two do whatever they want.

They don't give a f***, so...

You know, screw it,

give me that.

That's a stiff drink.

So, what do you say

if we play that game after all?

Let's play.

- I f***ing love Christmas.

- F*** you, you should love me.

Of course I do,

but I get my fat Christmas bonus

so I'm buying some shiny rocks

for my arm candy.

A**hole.

- The shiniest rocks.

- They better be.

Now let's go find

the perfect Christmas tree.

Let's go.

Margo!

Hey!

Looks like you had fun.

Oh, yeah, that was fun.

- Like your games, Bella.

- Thank you.

Where are Kate and Art?
