WILL... WILL YOU JUS CALM DOWN FOR A SECOND?

MAYBE WE CAN SIT DOWN

AND DISCUSS THIS!

THERE'S NOTHING TO DISCUSS.

EVERYBODY'S ALREADY

DECIDED WHAT I SHOULD DO.

I MEAN, DON'T BOTHER

ASKING ME OR ANYTHING.

WE HAVEN'T DECIDED

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

IT'S JUST THAT...

IF YOU GET TOGETHER AND

TALK, MAYBE YOU COULD

WORK IT OUT WITH HIM.

I'M JUST TRYING

TO HELP, ANG!

YOU CAN'T HELP ME.

YOU CAN'T EVEN HELP YOURSELF.

LOOK AT YOU!

YOU'RE DISGUSTING,

YOU LIVE LIKE A PIG...

AND YOU THINK YOU'RE

REAL CHARMING AND CUTE

AND THAT EVERYBODY LOVES YOU.

BUT YOU'RE 31,

YOU HAVE NO MONEY AND YOU

WALK AROUND TELLING EVERYBODY...

ABOUT SOME STUPID

TELEVISION SHOW YOU WERE ON

THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANYMORE.

YOU'RE A HAS-BEEN.

DON'T BE MEAN, ANGIE.

IF YOU WANNA TALK,

WE'LL TALK,

BUT DON'T BE MEAN.

I DON'T WANNA TALK.

THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.

I DID THE COMMERCIALS.

I GET MY MONEY, YOU GE YOUR MONEY AND THAT'S IT.

EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

WAIT A MINUTE. ANGIE!

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

AND DON'T FOLLOW ME.

[Sighing]

WHERE DID SUMMER GO

HOW'D I MISS

THE CHANGE OF SEASON

ALL AT ONCE:

THE WIND BLOWS ROUGH

IT'S COLD ENOUGH TO SNOW

[Laughing]

IN THE STREET BELOW

HEY, YOU'RE BACK!

YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

THEY'VE GOT NO REASON

DON'T THEY KNOW

IT'S COLD ENOUGH TO SNOW

ON THE RADIO THERE'S A GUY

SAYS IT'S NOT FREEZIN'

HI, ANGIE.

[Man]

THANK YOU. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

HO, HO, HO!

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

GEENA!

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

MR. CHAPMAN.

MERRY CHRISTMAS:

TO YOU TOO, GEENA.

HOW ABOUT A KISS?

GEENA, LET'S MAKE OUT.

ED IN THE OFFICE?

YEAH.

HE'S IN WITH MRS. CORMAN.

AM I INTERRUPTING ANYTHING?

OH, NONE OF YOUR CONCERN.

MRS. CORMAN WAS

JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF

GIVING US THE AXE...

ON BEHALF OF BARRY.

OH!

I TRIED TO TALK TO HIM,

BUT HE WOULD NOT BUDGE.

HE'S JUST SOLD

ON THIS MR. SPIRO.

CAN I SAY SOMETHING?

EXCUSE ME IF I'M OUT OF LINE,

BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE,

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS TOGETHER,

THAT BARRY COULDN'T COME UP HERE

AND JUST TELL US THIS HIMSELF.

HE'S IN DISNEY WORLD

WITH MR. SPIRO.

IT WAS HIS CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

WELL, I WON'T KEEP YOU.

I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE

MORE PRESSING MATTERS

TO DISCUSS THAN BARRY.

YEAH, I GOTTA

CALL THE MOVERS.

WELL, GOOD-BYE, GENTLEMEN.

I HOPE WE CAN STILL BE FRIENDS.

ALL RIGHT,

LET'S NOT PANIC, OKAY?

WE STILL GOT MONEY COMING IN.

NO, WE DON'T.

CORCORAN'S LAWYER CALLED.

THEY'RE HOLDING US RESPONSIBLE

FOR LEGAL FEES AND THE COS OF DELAYING THE COMMERCIALS.

WE'RE LUCKY IF WE BREAK EVEN

ON THE SUNBURST SPOT.

WITHOUT BARRY,

WE'RE DEAD.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

COME ON.

AT THE NEXT OPEN AUDITION, SOME

TERRIFIC TYKE IS GONNA COME IN.

WE'RE GONNA BE RIGHT BACK.

MICHAEL, I'M GONNA

WORK FOR UNCLE LARRY.

NO, ED!

YOU'RE NOT GONNA CHANGE MY MIND.

PLEASE... DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER

FOR ME THAN IT ALREADY IS.

I LOVE YOU,

I'LL MISS WORKING WITH YOU,

I'LL EVEN MISS THIS

GODFORSAKEN PLACE,

BUT I'VE GOT NO CHOICE.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

HUH? WHAT ABOUT ME?

YOU'LL BE FINE! MAYBE THIS

WILL TURN OUT TO BE THE BES THING FOR THE BOTH OF US.

THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, ED.

YOU'VE GOT A JOB,

DEGRADING THOUGH IT MAY BE.

I HAVE TO GO OU AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY.

GEENA, WHAT?

WELL, IF YOU'RE GONNA

BEAT IT OUTTA ME, I'LL TELL YA.

ANGIE'S AT LORD AND TAYLOR'S.

SHE WAS CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING,

AND SHE NEEDS SOMEBODY

TO GET HER OUT.

MR. CHAPMAN,

THAT'S WHY IT WAS FUN.

I'M NOT YOUR FATHER.

I KNOW THAT.

MY FATHER LEFT ME.

YOU THINK HE WANTED TO?

HE LEFT SO HE COULD

GET BETTER AND COME BACK

AND TAKE CARE OF YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

[Sighing]

HAVE I EVER STEERED YOU WRONG?

I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD BE

TERRIFIC IN COMMERCIALS,

AND YOU WERE.

I TOLD YOU TO GO TO SCHOOL,
