Mrs Miracle

Synopsis: Since his wife's fatal car crash, Seth Webster is frazzled with his architect career and caring for his darling, rascal twin sons Jason and Judd (6), whose unrelenting mischief chased every housekeeper the agency sent in no time. Mrs. Merkle turns up mysteriously, but is so good at minding boys and house that her name gets corrupted into Mrs. Miracle. Sneakily, she also pulls miraculous strings to make sure recluse Seth dates again with another reluctant dater, Reba Maxwell, also to the kids' liking, through their school's Christmas show.

Rocky! Come here, Rocky! Rocky.

Good boy.

Where did this dog come from?

Bad dog! Go!

Look out!

No, not again!

Wait a minute, Mrs. Cooper.

Mrs. Cooper!

-Chalk off another one!

-Nice one!

Wait a minute, Mrs. Larson.

Mrs. Larson.

Boys? Boys, come on in now.

It's time for dinner.

Mrs. Hampston, please,

at least just stay for the holidays.

l won't stay another minute.

Look, l'm very sorry about the boys.

Okay, but they're only six.

Which is why l don't blame them.

You don't?

They're your children, Mr. Webster,

not your playmates, not your pets.

They need a mature, steady hand

to guide them. Your hand. Now, goodbye.

Mrs. Hampston.

You don't need a housekeeper.

You need a miracle.

-l got both of you!

-Dad.

You got me. You got me. You got me.

Okay.

All right, guys, time for bed.

Okay.

You put up a good fight.

There you go.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

There you go. Good night, buddy.

-Love you.

-Love you, too.

-Dad?

-Yeah?

We're sorry. We were iust trying to have fun

with the housekeeper.

Well, sometimes

things don't always work out.

What are we going to do?

We're never going to find anybody now.

What are you talking about?

Everything's under control.

Really?

Absolutely.

You guys don't have anything

to worry about, all right?

Dad, can l ask you something?

Sure.

Do you know

what Mommy's favorite color was?

You know, it's late.

You guys should go to sleep.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Way To Go Travel. Hello, Mrs. Clark!

Yes, l did a little research,

and it's a great resort,

and it includes everything, hotels,

meals, gratuities.

So you step out of your room

right on to the beach,

and you wouldn't believe the sunsets.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Well, no, l've never actually been there

myself, but that's what everyone tells me.

And normally, they don't take reservations

after Thanksgiving, but l did...

l noticed a cancellation, and it's still there.

Great!

Yeah, maybe l will make it there

one of these days.

Reba. Your mom.

Mrs. Clark? l'm going to call you

with the details later.

Perfect. Okay, bye.

l totally forgot!

-Thanks, Nicki. l'll be back.

-Hurry.

-Mom, l'm sorry.

-Hi, sweetheart.

-l'm sorry.

-No, it's fine. Sit, sit.

What a crazy week. l mean, the phones,

they just... They haven't stopped.

Well, that little business of yours

is really booming then.

Happens every year.

People want to get away for the holidays.

l'm iust happy

you finally found something more secure

than your so-called theater career.

Yeah, you've mentioned

that once or twice before, Mom.

Speaking of getting away, l had a call

from your favorite aunt and uncle yesterday.

Aunt Molly and Uncle Bill? How are they?

Well, they're finally taking that Hawaiian

vacation they've always talked about.

And they're going to stop here

for a couple of days on the way.

That's great! When?

They arrive late on the 23rd from St. Paul,

and they leave for Hawaii

the morning of the 26th.

So they're going to be here for Christmas.

Yes, and honey, they're so excited

to see you and Vicki.

-How long has it been?

-Mom.

Look, Reba, it would be so nice for them

if we could have a real family Christmas,

everyone together again.

Well, it won't work, so...

Look, Reba, it's been four years.

l thought with your aunt and uncle coming,

wouldn't this be the most wonderful time

to iust put everything behind us?

Wouldn't it?

You know what she did.

Vicki's your sister. You have to settle it.

l have settled it.

l want nothing to do with her.

What about your aunt and uncle?

They think the world of you and Vicki.

They want to see both of you.

Okay, well then, we'll do

what we've done for the last four years.

Vicki and her family, they can see you

on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve,

and l'll iust visit when they're not there.

Okay?

You know, if your father was alive...

Mom, change the subiect.

Mrs. Ackerman,

do you have some good news for us?

Well, we're...Yes.

We're iust very excited

about meeting our new housekeeper.

l realize they don't grow on trees.

l know you're trying your best,

and l really appreciate it,

but iust it's been about a week,

and with the holidays coming...

Guys, cool it.

Okay, l'll call back again.

Okay, guys. Okay, come on. Hey.

All right, look, let him go.

l know, you got him in a headlock, okay.

Let it go. Time out.

Okay. l got you. Get up. There we go.

Mr. Webster, l'm sure l don't have to tell you

how wonderfully, well,

high-spirited your boys are.

lt really is a treat to have them in my class.

They are both so bright, and funny,

and, well, gosh,

l just can't get over all that energy!

So, but we're good?

Sure, yeah, yeah. They're hard-working.

They've made lots of friends.

They have a real flair for music.

Does that run in the family?

No, not really.

No. Well, they're great boys.

You should be very proud.

Thank you. All right.

Of course, l'm sure you're also aware that,

well, at times, their natural enthusiasm

can be just a tad overwhelming.

Yeah.

lt's important that they learn

to channel that energy

into more constructive outlets,

which is why l am so pleased

that Judd and Jason want to take part

in this year's Christmas pageant.

Christmas pageant?

Yeah. They're so excited about it,

and l honestly think

it's going to be just the thing for them.

-l mean, don't you?

-Well...

Which reminds me. The first parents'

meeting is in five minutes in the library.

You don't want to be late.

-All right, l should get going then.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

-My pleasure.

-Very nice to meet you.

-You as well.

For those of you here for the first time,

my name is Milly Waters.

This is my fifth year

directing the school pageant.

And l can tell you

we are all very, very excited.

Now as some of you know,

we started work on the songs last week

with our musical director, Mrs. Darling.

l will hold auditions

and assign speaking parts

by the end of the week. Rehearsal will be

for one hour after school every day.

Does anybody have any questions?

-l do.

-Yes.

Cindy! Cindy, thank you very much.

And seriously, don't worry about the fire.

This stuff happens all the time.

So we'll call you?

That's okay.

Boys?

My muscles are screaming at me.

l hope you're happy with yourself.

Me?

Yeah, the only time l ever get here

is when you call and make me feel guilty,

but you haven't called, have you?

Sorry.

So what's been keeping you so busy?

Just business.

You know, l can barely keep up right now.

Really?

Yeah, so this guy calls the other day.

lt's almost the middle

of December, right?

And he wants to book a flight to Maui.

Go ahead. Tell me all about work.

What?

Reba, l am married with two kids.

l spend all day

in a room full of six year olds

who laugh at anything

that sounds even remotely like poo.

l need something to hang onto here.

You're my last hope.
