These are...

Christmas recipe books,

stuffed full of holiday-themed

dinners and desserts...

everything from St. Nick Stew

to my personal favorite,

Christmas tree-shaped

cookies... all delicious.

I've mademany of them myself. Really?

Y-You m-made them yourself?

No. It's... It's part of the pitch.

Oh. Look, Robert, I'm not

trying to sell you this thing.

I want us to gointo business

together, you and me.

I don't understand.- Okay.

Look, all I have to dois get a

team of peopleworking under me,

and then they get a teamof

people working under them,

and then weall start

profitingoff of each other.

See, the more peoplewe get

involved, the more money we make.

There's no chancewe can

failif we never give up.

Well, yeah, that makes sense to me.

Yes. Yes. Okay. So, what do you think?

Should we get everyoneup in the

storeselling these things? Huh?

Granted, it might bekind of weird...

to have all of the employeesof this

place all of a suddenbe millionaires.

Right? I'll... I'll thinkabout it, yeah.

Take it home? Give it to

someoneyou care about?
