Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You Page #4

---

Besides, Jack and I

are having the best time.

He's the best.

(GROWLING)

(SIGHS)

(BARKING)

MARIAH:
What on Earth?

Jack,

what have we talked about?

(JACK WHIMPERING)

Argh!

(LOW WHINING)

(SIGHS)

BUD:
Mariah,

didn't you take Jack out?

We've been out all day.

BUD:
Well, he's left a little present

for you at the bottom of the stairs.

You better get busy.

What?

How is that even possible?

I never took my eyes off you.

(SIGHS)

Can't believe this.

(YAWN S)

PENELOPE:

Need some help, honey?

Nope, I got this.

Not a problem.

Stay.

MARIAH:
Apparently, my brother wasn't the

only one who had trouble closing doors.

Nice look.

Fashion was very important

to me, as you can see.

Yep, what I said

about closing doors.

(WHIMPERING)

Jack, Jack, it's me, come back.

Ugh!

No way!

(LOUD GRUNT)

BUD:
Mariah, what's going on?

Nothing.

Everything's just

perfectly perfect.

On! (LAUGHING)

Well, I'll be.

(SIGHS)

I had to clean up after him.

And now...

(SIGHS)

LUCY:
on!

I see he really

decked the halls.

(LAUGHS)

I seem to remember someone

who had me cleanin' up a lot.

You went through diapers

like nobody's business.

Oh, Grandma, please, do you

have to bring up me as a baby?

(LAUGHING)

Oh, honey, don't ever ask me

not to bring up you as a baby.

Come on, I'll help you out.

Thanks, Grandma, but I got this.

I can do it.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

(SIGHS)

Jack, come out,

I look normal now.

Yuck! Don't lick me.

(GIGGLES) Okay, okay, please,

just don't lick me.

Let's go to bed.

(LAUGHS)

You're silly.

MARIAH:
Okay, so we had

moments of sweetness,

but little did I know, it was

only the calm before the storm.

(WHINING)

You got your bone, you've got water, food.

You're good.

You stay in there.

BUD:
Wow! Nice.

(FRONT DOOR CLOSES)

You're sure that dog's secure?

Sure, let's go.

Gonna be late.

Honey, he's too lonely

to be left there.

(JACK WHIMPERING)

Oh, gosh.

Okay, I'll bring him.

FRED:
Oh, I see you're finally

making an effort, Bill.

Nice (CLEARS THROAT)

item you got there.

Oh, is that Mr. Marshmallow

or a snowman?

(JACK BARKS)

Oh! Hi, Mr. Ingersoll!

(BARKS)

(LAUGHING)

(AIR HISSING)

Uh-oh!

(INGRID LAUGHING)

Oh!

Dog has good taste.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(SIGHS)

Well, we can't wait

all night for Mariah,

even if she is the soloist.

The show must go on.

Everybody!

(BLOWS WHISTLE SOFTLY)

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

BUD:
Better hurry, Supergirl.

Don we now gay apparel Troll

and join the chorus

And a set of teeth.

(DOGS HOWLING)

Fast away the old year passes

Fa la la la la, la la la la

I've never heard this version.

This rocks!

Sing we joyous all together

Heedless of the wind and weather

Make them stop, Mommy.

(RUMBLING)

(ALL GASPING)

I wanna go home!

Mariah!

MARIAH:
The spring musical wasn't

looking so great at that point.

In fact, it looked like I could

say goodbye to choir altogether,

thanks to Jack.

Jack! Cool it!

MARIAH:
And Jack wasn't finished

destroying my reputation. Oh, no.

He had much bigger plans for me.

Hey, buddy. Mariah, Mom

says you need to get ready

for your dress rehearsal

if you wanna be early.

(SIGHS)

I was supposed to do that.

Yesterday.

I would have done it.

It's okay.

I know you hate it.

Hey, where'd Jack go?

Did you close the back door?

Uh...

MARIAH:
Jack? You up here?

Jack?

MARIAH:
Unbelievable how such a

small creature could be capable of

so much destruction.

(BARKS)

Jack! Drop it!

Jack, give that to me.

Nice doggie.

Don't move!

Give that to me.

Jack!

(GROANS)

(GROANS)

Jack.

Come here, you!

(STRAINS) Give it to me!

Oh, no, no, no!

PENELOPE:

Mariah, are you okay?

Jack's not getting

into trouble, is he?

No. Everything's great.

(SIGHS)

You little...

(SOBS)

Hey, Mariah.

Yeah?

What's wrong?

Oh, no!

I could help.

H ow?

I don't mess up everything.

I didn't say you did.

BETH:
I got an idea.

Okay. What is it?

MARIAH:
Yep,

that was the Christmas

I was turned into a trespasser

to save Grandpa,

and a thief because of Jack.

We're just borrowing it.

(GIGGLING)

She looks Christmassy.

MARIAH:
What do you think?

Works for me.

I guess.

MARIAH:
Are you kidding? I

could make anything look good.

Even a borrowed Mrs. Santa

suit that had been outside for

maybe 10 Christmases.

What about the dog?

I don't have one yet.

Yes, you do.

Hmm.

Pretty cute.

Better than leaving him here.

He'd eat the house.

(SIGHS)

Something tells me

this is not a good idea.

MARIAH:
And did I listen? No.

PENELOPE:
We better get going. Don't

forget your toys for the toy drive.

Thanks for helping me, Beth.

At least he didn't ruin this.

Not for you, buster.

(HUMMING)

Don we now our gay apparel Troll

the ancient Christmas carol

Fa la la la la

What is wrong with you?

OVER SPEAKER:
Ho-ho-ho!

Ho-ho-ho! Ho-ho-ho!

Come on, Jack, we're late. Don't

you know, you snooze, you lose?

Gotta go. Bye, Mom.

MR. TYABJI:
We're going to get

started, so please, everyone,

take a seat and settle,

if you wouldn't mind.

I, Mr. Tyabji, the Community

Charity League Director,

welcome you to

the Fashion and Friends show!

Thank you for coming. Proceeds will

benefit our local pet shelter,

a cause we all

care deeply about.

Let's see how you

and your best friend

can be fashionable this season.

Let's get this show started!

(APPLAUSE)

MR. TYABJI:
Who says dog

is only man's best friend?

Here's Cindy with

her best pal Orbid

wearing this

attractive matching ensemble.

What happened to you?

I'm so sorry, girls. I...

Is that the dog

you brought caroling?

He's just a stand-in,

till I get my real dog.

Don't worry, he'll be fine.

(WHINES)

Hey, where'd you get a hat?

Looks great.

Good thinking.

MR. TYABJI:
And look who's

ready for duck hunting season.

Mario and Sparky with

a red camouflage number.

Is something wrong with him?

MR. TYABJI:
Who says fashion

can't be functional?

Uh... Stage fright?

These high quality

sporty outfits and more

are available at

Ingersoll's Hardware.

MARIAH:
Oh, yes, this was my

finest Christmas performance,

and Jack made it all possible.

MR. TYABJI:
And just when you

thought Christmas was over...

Okay, that's us.

Chausette, walk on.

Liebchen, heel.

MARIAH:
Oh, boy.

Here goes nothin'.
