Love the Coopers Page #7
I was in my 20s.
It has no meaning
for me anymore.
Then do it for me.
Where did you go?
You got so small.
I'm in love with a girl
that doesn't even exist anymore.
I exist.
If you want to go on
a trip with a memory,
then be my guest. Go ahead.
Well, I'm going.
That's fine, go.
CHARLOTTE:
You just go.One day, for God's sakes,
that's all I asked for,
was one day,
all you had to do was hang
in for another 12 hours
and then we'd be done, but, no,
you have to ruin this day for me too.
Well, you know what,
you can just leave now!
Just leave...
Hi.
Merry Christmas.
Happy...
Merry Christmas.
Mom, Dad, this is Joe.
Hi.
Well...
We're engaged.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, God.
[INAUDIBLE]
What's wrong with you?
What are you talking about, engaged?
A boyfriend is one thing,
but engaged is a completely different story.
I made a mistake.
You think?
When I agreed to come here
with you,
way too insane.
Well, now it is.
I mean, engaged?
You probably don't believe
in global warming,
okay? I could never marry you.
I'm sorry, but, please.
Why? 'Cause I'm not
already married?
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
You know what?
Merry Christmas.
No, Joe, wait.
I'm sorry, Joe, one sec...
[SIGHS]
Okay?
Yeah.
CHARLOTTE:
Hi, honey. Congratulations.
Where's Joe?
Oh.
Honey?
[GLASS CLINKING]
ELEANOR:
Mom, please, just don'tmake that face.
I swear to God, if I look up
and you're making that face
I'm gonna lose it.
But I'm not making a face.
Actually, Charlotte,
you are.
Sam this is
my everyday face.
You're going like this.
No, I'm...
I am not.
Okay, I'll be a Sphinx, right?
See? Hi, honey.
Oh, God, there it is!
What?
Now, Buttons, calm down.
Calm down?
Really, Dad, calm down?
Nothing makes people less calm
than being told to calm down.
And now
you're making that face.
Dad, you're just
as bad as Mom.
[SIGHS]
Honey. Honey-bunny.
Oh, God, please,
stop mothering me.
But I am your mother
and I feel for you.
No, you feel sorry for me.
And you make me feel that I'm a person
that people should feel sorry for.
That-
But you know, hey,
it wouldn't be Christmas
without Eleanor
coming home
to disappoint everyone.
ALL:
You're not a disappointment.
Right, okay.
Well, let me just give you
Mom, Dad,
Joe is actually...
...a smoker.
He is a chain-smoker.
That's right.
Just can't seem to quit.
It's tough.
SAM:
Oh, well...You know what,
this calls for a toast.
Yeah.
Bubbly, bubbly.
I'm an alcoholic.
Wow.
[THUMP]
I'm just kidding.
Yeah.
[SAM LAUGHING]
Quite a kidder.
Yeah, just can't help it.
Aw, try.
Hey.
We're here.
Oh, Mom?
Yeah, what?
Just don't mention anything
about the engagement, okay?
'Cause we haven't told
Joe's parents yet.
That's fine, that's good.
Okay.
Charlie, what happened
to your face?
Oh, he...
Oh, my God.
Everyone, um, this is Joe.
And, yes... And Joe
and your Aunt Eleanor
are engaged.
Charlotte!
What? Oh, my God.
Mom.
It just slipped out, I don't know.
I'm sorry, I don't know what...
AUNT FISHY:
Right hand, orange,and left hand, blue.
Okay, yes.
I got a right on orange.
I thought we just said it
ten seconds ago.
[FAMILY PLAYING TWISTER]
[SNORTS]
[GUITAR STRUMMING]
[ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH PLAYING]
Angels we have
heard on high
Sweetly swinging
o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their
joyous strains
Gloria
In Excelsis Deo
Children, go
where I send thee
How shall I send thee?
I'm gonna send thee
three by three
Three for the
Hebrew children
Two for Paul and Silas
One for the itty-bitty baby
Born, born,
born in Bethlehem
Hey!
Hava nagila, hava nagila
Hava nagila ve-nis'mecha
[BARKING]
Have yourself a merry
little Christmas
Let your heart
be light
Hang a shining star
Upon the highest bow
And have yourself
Now
CHARLOTTE:
Wow.Anyway, Merry Christmas, huh?
Kiss her, Grandpa.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh. [LAUGHING]
Oh, Bo. Oh, dear.
You're suppose to kiss me.
Oh, okay.
What are we doing here?
Is this where
you left your car?
Yes?
Merry Christmas.
Thanks for the ride.
If I ask you a question,
would you answer
me honestly?
Try me.
Are you really a psychiatrist?
Of course, I am, sort of.
I'm a life coach.
But you said
you were a doctor.
Well...
You heard of Dr. Seuss?
I'm Dr. Newport.
Wow.
Officer Williams?
Can I give you a hug?
No.
All right, then.
A word of advice?
Certainly. If I were you...
For you, not from you.
Of course.
You should buy your sister the most
expensive gift you can find.
Try and be be the person
you want to become.
NARRATOR:
Emma was filledwith a tiny distant memory
she wasn't
sure even happened,
when her world was still
open to the possibility of magic.
[SNAPS FINGERS]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yeah.
Carrots.
SAM:
Everybody make sureyou try those potatoes.
Single perfect form, you be...
[GLASS CLINKING]
ELEANOR:
Oh, Dad?I've been thinking about
our family a lot today.
And I have something
that I'd like to say.
I want to tell you...
No! Please, no.
...how happy I am
that we're all here together.
Well, hear, hear.
We don't spend much time
under the same roof,
but no matter what happens...
we are family.
Oh, God, look at
Bo's shiny, little face.
Well, I think
that what Grandpa is...
trying to say is...
that celebrations like this
they just kind of...
remind us of...
how...
Irreplaceable.
Irreplaceable...
So, just...
But you know what, that is
enough said on that front, right?
Let's just toast to
celebrations, everyone.
ALL:
Cheers!Okay.
Cheers.
I'm hungry.
I know. I hate to say it,
but Emma's not here yet.
CHARLOTTE:
I think it's important
for us to wait
for just a few minutes.
Maybe the storm has knocked
out some traffic signals.
Yeah, but she's always late.
Let's just dig in!
Yes.
Go ahead. It's Christmas, right?
Yes.
Aren't we going to say grace?
Well, just let me finish,
for one second, Joe.
Dad, would you like
to say grace?
Not really.
Well, maybe you'd like
to listen to Bo
say grace. Bo, would
you like to give thanks?
No, thanks.
Okay.
You know what, I'll do it.
Oh. All right.
Oh.
Dear Lord,
or whoever is listening,
thank you for this beautiful meal
when there are so many who have so little.
And although I'm not with
my own family tonight,
I'm grateful to be sharing
Christmas with such a thoughtful,
loving family...
Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ!
Holy...
It's Rags.
[INDISTINCT TALK]
Mother of God, what are you
feeding that animal?
Oh, Rags.
Yikes.
[ALL CONTINUE EXCLAIMING]
HANK:
It's okay. At least,dinner smells good.
Right?
Fabulous.
Let's dig in.
[CUTLERY CLANGING]
What's the matter?
CHARLOTTE:
The pepper?Is that what it is?
It needs more potato.
I can't believe
you're getting married, El.
BO:
Congratulations.
