Mixed Nuts Page #8

We're outta there!

What's going on?

Something wrong?

Nothing at all.

Felix and Gracie have turned the

landlord into a Christmas tree.

Now we are going to take it

down leave it on the boardwalk.

Now that's a good plan.

We'll help you.

Be careful now. Don't let

the branches fall off.

What about Stanley's bag?

We'll leave it under the tree

and let somebody swipe it.

Only some of us should go. We

don't want to attract attention.

I'm with you. I'm going!

Okay, the two of us.

We want to go too.

Yeah, we made it.

Okay, four. I'd like to go.

I promise not to

attract any attention.

All right, six, but that's it.

Now, we should

try to act jolly.

I'll sing.

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

Yuletide carol.

Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la.

Hey

If you get

all weird this Christmas.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo

pop-pop-fizz-fizz.

We could really

use your business.

Scooby-Dooby-Doo

Let's eat Cheez Whiz.

Sit in a garage

and turn on the ignition...

Philip! Catherine!

Merry Christmas.

Are you dismantling

the office already?

Exactly where are you

going with our tree?

It's not our tree.

Really, it's not.

It is, too, our tree.

I recognize the red

cellophane thingy.

The dogs.

Keep those mutts away

from my tree, please.

May I? By all means, Blanche.

Here, doggies. Here, doggies.

There's a good girl.

Come to Mommy.

Yeah, what a good girl.

They definitely did it.

Deck the halls

with boughs of holly.

Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la.

Deck the halls

with balls 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.

Follow me in merry measure.

Fa-la-la la-la la la-la-la.

While I tell of

Yuletide treasure

Oh, my God!

It's the rollerbladers!

It's them!

It's the tree haters!

- Oh, no they are back!

- Let's get them!

Your tree is history!

Payback time!

Watch out!

Other way, other way,

other way!

You ruined our Christmas!

No! Don't!

Look out!

Merry Christmas from Doug

and Carol Ferguson!

Whoa!

Oh, Tannenbaum

Oh, Tannenbaum, oh

How lovely are

Are thy branches

We've got one dead body

at 517 Ocean Park Walk.

Request for the coroner and

Homicide Unit to respond.

Okay, what happened?

Who is this?

Come on. Who knows

what happened?

I do.

Our landlord,

Stanley Tannenbaum,

has committed suicide out of guilt

over his condominium conversion.

And these two people, these

two incompetent people,

but never mind, were so tormented that

they could not prevent a suicide,

that they tried

to hide it from the world.

Actually, uh, that's

not what happened.

Obviously.

What happened was...

It was Christmas Eve, and Felix

just happened to drop by

with his gun.

Who is Felix?

All right, I'm Felix. I did it.

Okay, Felix, spread your legs, put

your hands behind your back. Let's go.

Just because he's an ex-con,

you blame it on Felix.

Well, Officer, here's your big murder weapon.

Don't, Gracie.

I did it!

No, no, Gracie, you can't!

Felix! Stop!

Santa! Mommy, it's Santa!

Felix, what are you doing?

I can't live

without you, Gracie!

If you go to jail,

I might as well be dead!

Everybody move back!

Move back immediately! We have

a very dangerous condition!

Felix, it was an accident!

They're not gonna convict me.

Now come down!

Well, what if they do? I can't take a

chance on the criminal justice system!

I went to jail for nothing!

They could do it to you!

No! No, stop!

Philip, you've got to do something!

You've got to save him!

Felix, I just want you to know, I forgive

you for shooting me in the foot.

I don't care! Okay.

Felix, stop! Listen to me!

Don't you want to spend

Christmas with your baby?

Don't you want to see him

open his first present?

What was your

first present, Felix?

Hubcaps.

Huh.

Now I can't even

afford hubcaps!

Felix, you know something?

You're not upset

because you're broke.

I'm not? No.

You're not upset

because you're an artist

who may never have any place

to paint as long as you live.

- I'm not?

- No.

And you're not upset

because the woman you love

may go to jail

for a very long time.

I'm not?

No.

You're upset

because it's Christmas.

Christmas is a time when you look at

your life through a magnifying glass,

and whatever you don't have

feels overwhelming.

Being alone is so much

lonelier at Christmas.

Everything sad is so much

sadder at Christmas.

You can't give in

to this, Felix!

I thought today was going to

be the worst day of my life,

but, then, something wonderful

and unexpected happened!

First, something horrible

and unexpected happened.

Actually, three horrible and

unexpected things happened,

but then something wonderful.

The holidays

aren't over yet, Felix.

They're not over for you, and they're

not over for Gracie. Who knows?

Who knows? There's

magic at Christmas.

And I'll bet, if you come

down, you'll find that out.

I love you, Felix!

I love you so much, Gracie!

Come on down, Felix.

It's almost midnight.

Bravo!

We'll have a van here

in a few minutes.

We'll take you all down to

the station for questioning.

This bag belongs to Stanley.

Brian.

What have you got here, Rizzo?

Whoa!

FP-242, notify watch

commander, please.

Where'd you get this?

Take a guess.

Gracie Barzini?

Yes. I'm ready. You

can take me away now.

Congratulations. You have

killed the Seaside Strangler.

What?

Fishing twine and kelp.

Oh, my God, you're kidding me!

Stanley's the Strangler?

I killed the Seaside Strangler!

How brilliant is that,

Catherine?

Isn't there a reward?

There's a $250,000 reward.

I'm the luckiest girl

in the world!

Philip, I could pay for your moving expenses.

How much do you need?

Only $5,000!

$5,000?

Oh, fine!

Oh, I'm so happy! This is great!

We're back in business!

Thank you! Thank you! What can I give you?

How can I possibly thank you?

I know.

Fruitcake. I'm rich!

I'm rich! I'm rich!

Rich girl! Rich girl!

- Oh, my God!

- What is it?

Oh, my goodness!

What's the matter, honey?

My water just broke!

You're just going into labor.

We have plenty of time.

No, I'm having it!

- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure!

Philip? Dr. Kinsky.

Dr. Kinsky'll help us!

What?

She's having a baby!

I'm having a baby!

Uh, bring her over by the tree!

By the tree!

Officer, could you please help?

Here, here. Wait a minute!

Lift up my leg, you moron!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

Out of the way!

Get out of the way! All right,

put her down right here.

Here!

Okay, okay, you're doing great.

I'm having it!

I know, I know. Just relax.

Take it easy.

Everything's gonna be fine.

It's gonna come out, right?

No, no, no. It's gonna come out. You're doing great.

You're in good hands.

I've done this hundreds

and hundreds of times.

Aren't you a veterinarian?
