All you have to do

is say stop,

and I promise I will.

Okay.

Okay.

You promise?

Yes.

Okay, stop.

All right,

that was a little quick.

Yeah, I know it was,

but I'm--I...

How long has it been, Rose?

What?

How long it's been

since you've been on a date.

Um...

You're a very

beautiful woman.

You should be

with someone.

Someone like me.

[giggles]

You know,

you work all the time.

I never see you go out,

you know.

You got to live

a little.

Life ain't that bad, Rose.

You just got to lighten up.

Relax.

Oh, gosh,

I just, uh...

It's just not

working for me.

What did I say?

Someone tells me

to lighten up and relax,

I just tighten up

and get tense.

Hey, I just thought

we could have a good time.

Yeah, me too,

but...

I was just trying

to make you feel better.

I know;

I know.

It didn't, though.

I see.

I guess I better go.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no,

I'm sorry.

I was too forward.

I was wrong.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not you.

It's me.

You're right, Rose.

It is you.

Merry Christmas, Rose.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah.

^^ Deck the halls

with boughs of [whistles]. ^^

Hey, you okay?

My stomach

is a little nauseous.

I think I'm just

stressed out.

Nina, can you please

just relax?

Look,

it's the glam rock look.

^^ Deck the halls

with boughs of da da. ^^

(Nina)

^^ La la la la la ^^

^^ la la la. ^^

Hey.

What are you doing home

so early?

You must be Mike.

Surprise.

(Nina)

What are you doing?

This was for you,

you idiot.

He hit my lip.

What's going on

with this guy, Nina?

You can

clean up here.

What the hell is he doing

in the apartment?

You have a serious problem.

Oh, I got a problem?

What's he doing

in the apartment?

Are you insane?

Who is that guy, Nina?

This guy's my friend!

He was helping me

to prepare a surprise for you.

What kind of surprise?

He's a tree decorator!

All right, look,

I'm sorry, all right?

I made a mistake.

You know what?

You always

make a mistake.

Last week, you started

a fight on the street

because you thought a guy

was looking at me.

He was looking--

So what!

[screaming]

Men look at me.

Get over it.

All right, look,

I'm sorry, all right?

It was just

a misunderstanding.

It's just

driving me crazy.

I saw the two of you

talking today--

Talking when?

When I dropped you off

at work today.

I dropped you off at the office,

and I saw you guys.

Do you spy on me?

| |

No, I don't spy on you.

Listen to me.

I just--I saw

the two of you talking, okay?

And then the next thing I know,

you're hugging and kissing

on each other...

It was innocent, all right,

believe me, completely.

She was thanking me.

Thanking you

for what?

This is insane.

Look, I can

clear everything up.

Oh, that's not

the point.

I'm gay.

All right?

Nina, look,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

[somber music]

^^ ^^

Mr. Calvert.

Mr. Calvert!

Mr. Calvert,

your rent is due.

Mr. Calvert,

I evict you if I have to.

I evict you!

[melodramatic music]

^^ ^^

Yeah, but she told me

she was gonna stay with you.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know.

Look, uh...

Look, just tell her

I called, okay?

And tell her I love her.

And, uh...

And, uh...

0 0

Tell her I'm sorry.

Bye.

What the hell

are you doing here?

I need to see you.

I have to talk to you.

Look, pal, you picked

a bad day to mess with me.

Now, you obviously

got me mixed up

with somebody else.

I just need

ten minutes of your time.

I'm not gonna give you

ten seconds.

You beat it.

Ten minutes,

that's all I ask.

I'll explain

everything to you,

and then I won't

bother you anymore.

Look, it's Christmas Eve,

all right?

Don't you have

someplace to be,

family waiting

for you or something?

What do you want

from me?

Ten minutes.

Please.

All right,

come on.

Ten minutes.

Let's go quick.

This is for you.

It's n much.

Just something

I wanted to...

It's a little, uh...

Thanks.

Take a seat.

Could I have

something warm to drink?

[sighing]

Yeah, you want some coffee?

Yeah, that would be

very kind of you.

Thanks.

Listen,

I didn't mean

to frighten you before.

I hope I didn't.

It's just I was afraid

I was never gonna see you again.

Look, you know,

it's obvious

you got me mixed up

with somebody else.

I'm just trying to figure out

what's going on here.

Nothing person,

uh, Mister...

Artie.

Mm.

Almond butter cookies.

Your favorite, right?

Right.

May I have one?

Yeah, sure.

[festive music]

[voices and laughter]

(woman)

Emilio, ven.

Ayuda,

ayuda.

Oh.

So heavy.

Thank you.

Hello, familia.

(man)

Tengo hambre.

[sniffling]

Are you all right?

Mm-hm.

I might be pregnant.

Oh.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

But actually,

I just left my fianc

who I am supposed to marry

in one week

and who I love

very, very much

but who is

a jealous psychopath

who thinks that every guy

wants to sleep with me

and who drives me crazy.

You must think

I'm some crazy person,

blurting all this out.

Oh, no, no.

Not at all.

You know, because I'm

a blurter myself.

Sometimes, you know,

you just have to

get it out

so that you can figure out

what to do.

Thank you.

I'm Nina,

by the way.

Nice to meet you.

Rose.

Uncle Pedro's friend

from Pittsburgh, right?

[knocking]

Dinner's ready.

Let's go inside.

Do I look like

I've been crying?

No, no, no,

you look beautiful.

I really--

I can't--

Let's go have some fun.

I have to go.

I really--

Nina, por favor.

I could use a hand inside.

Come on.

Oh, please...

Thank you.

(woman)

Cario,

pasam ese plato.

(man)

Maria, come on.

Everyone's at the table.

Um, maybe there's somewhere

I could use the bathroom?

Oh, yeah,

right behind you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

A ver,

venga.

A comer.

[melancholy music]

^^ ^^

Why not?

Yeah, okay.

^^ ^^

[conversation stops]

No es ella?

Wait, Rose.

Rose, wait.

Oh, I'm so sorry,

really.

That was so stupid.

Stay with us please.

Please stay with us.

Tell your--

Please come back inside.

Tell your family

I am so sorry.

Sorry for what?

For crashing

your Chrtmas dinner.

For trespassing.

For breaking

and entering.

For being just...

crazy.

Please come back inside.

We'll make room.

That is so sweet,

but I am...

Please.

I don't...

I don't fit in.

Me neither.

Not tonight.

I know a place

around the corner.

Maybe we can go there

and talk.

They're gonna

miss you.

Yeah.

I'll come back.

Okay?

You're crazier

than I am.

Come on,

it's freezing.

(Rose)

It's so cold.

(man)

^^ Once again,

it's Christmastime. ^^

^^ I'm not feeling chipper ^^

^^ 'cause my girlfriend

just left me ^^

^^ for a male stripper. ^^

^^ She says

I'm a total dweeb ^^

^^ and I have no money. ^^

I know he loves me,

and he's a great guy

with a huge heart.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't be with him,

but he's just so--

Controlling?

[sighs]

Yes, controlling.

He doesn't have faith

in what we have,

how we feel.

He won't trust it.

I mean,

I find myself praying
