- Let's go over, come on.

- Okay.

- Come on.

Come on, we're gonna

miss the performance.

All right, all right,

we're going. We're going.

I mean, like, isn't this something?

They do it every year.

They've got music.

They've got games.

I even think they have a couple of

reindeer over there by the petting zoo.

- What about dogs?

- Somebody pet me.

Okay, let's get this

over with, come on.

Uh, you know,

I know things are

difficult right now.

But promise me you'll try

to have a good time

-for the boys' sake.

- I promise. Okay okay.

- Hey, Jake, you made it.

- Hey.

- Can we go play?

- Yeah, I'm gonna look around.

- Okay, all right. Don't go far.

- Yeah, come on.

See you later.

Bye. What are you doing here?

You're looking at the main attraction.

We go on in five.

Stop it.

Are you playing here?

Just because we weren't good enough

to play at your wedding

doesn't mean that we're not

good enough to rock this house.

- How are you, gentlemen?

- Hey, Father.

- Reverend, how are you?

- Good to see you.

Frank, do you have a moment?

I just need to speak with you.

- Lead the way, Padre.

- Excuse us, Jake.

- Uh, yeah.

- I'll see you in a little bit.

? Tra Ia Ia Ia Ia ?

? La Ia Ia Ia. ?

Thank you, everybody.

Thank you.

We're gonna play another

Christmas carol for you,

but before we do that

I'd like to make a dedication

to two very special people

in the audience.

Jake, Susan, this is for you.

? Silent night ?

? Holy night ?

? Allis calm ?

? All is bright ?

? Round yon virgin... ?

Well, it looks like

they want us to dance.

I'm not sure

that's a good idea.

Come on, it's Christmas.

? So tender and mild... ?

You know these past few days

that we've been apart

- have been kind of hard.

- .' Sleep in heavenly peace... .'

Don't. it's okay.

No no, I-- I have to.

? In heavenly peace... ?

I feel like I'm all alone.

I feel like I'm missing

a huge piece of me that I--

I feel like I've just lost it.

But I didn't lose it.

Not yet.

It's still here.

I don't want to spend

any more of my life without you.

And I'll do anything

to prevent that.

Look, the girls are miserable

and Cheri is crying every night.

Yeah, the boys have been

pretty upset too.

I didn't think

it would be this hard.

I miss you.

If you want,

we'll go to New York with you.

You know what?

I'm kind of starting

to like it here.

What about your job?

There'll be other jobs.

There's only one you.

Susan Davis,

will you still marry me?

Yeah. Yes.

Are you guys gonna

get married or what?

You'd better.

It's Christmas. Do it.

You guys.

You guys.

Hey, Jake, we haven't rocked out

in a while. Get up here.

Come on, get up here.

Let's do this.

All right.

? Jingle bells, jingle bells ?

? Jingle all the way ?

? Oh, what fun it is to ride ?

? In a one-horse open sleigh ?

? Jingle bells, jingle bells ?

? Jingle all the way ?

? Oh, what fun it is to ride ?

? In a one-horse open sleigh... ?

Guys, come on.

? Dashing through the snow ?

? In a one-horse open sleigh ?

? O'er the field we go ?

? Laughing all the way,

ha ha ha ?

? Bells on bobtails ring ?

? Making spirits bright ?

? What fun it is

to laugh and sing ?

? A sleighing song tonight... ?

Are they really gonna

sing the whole thing?

I think so.

? Jingle all the way ?

? Oh, what fun it is to ride ?

? In a one-horse ?

? Open sleigh. ?

? The first Noel the angels did say ?

? Was to certain poor shepherds ?

? In fields as they lay ?

? In fields where they ?

? Lay keeping their sheep ?

? On a cold winter's night ?

? That was so deep ?

? Noel, Noel... ?

- Pat Blake.

- Hi Pat. it's Susan.

Well, it's about time.

Where have you been?

I've been holding MOCA off all day.

I re-read your contract though

and I gotta tell you,

you're getting a heck of a deal.

I would like you to tell them,

"Thank you very much for the offer,"

but I'm going to pass.

Susan, I'm sorry, hold on.

We must have

a bad connection,

'cause it sounded like

you just said you were passing.

I did.

Okay, Susan,

I want you to listen to me.

I know how these small towns are.

They get inside of you

like one of those parasites--

when you go to a country, and they say

"Don't drink the water"

but you drink it anyway.

'Cause that's what's happening here,

Susan. I need you to be rational.

Everything you've ever worked for,

I'm getting you--

New York City, MOCA.

This is the big time, honey.

I know. You're right.

It is everything I've been working for,

but I've been working

for the wrong things.

I get it. it's the money.

You know, I had a feel--

okay, you just give me a number

and I'll go back to them

and I'll get you your money.

Family is the most

important thing.

An expense account?

A company car. A company car.

No, a longer lunch, of course,

so you can spend time with your family.

- No, not interested.

- You tell me what you're looking for.

I will go back to them.

I promise I'll get it.

Not unless they will move

the museum to Los Olives.

That could be difficult.

Thanks, Pat.

Bye.

I gotta check this Los Olives out.

Do not put your butt

on my couch!

Of course now there was the challenge

of putting everything back together

at a moment's notice.

And if there's one thing Jake

and Susan loved, it was a challenge.

The country club gave away the room

for a Christmas party.

Guys, guys, settle down

for a second here.

The caterer's booked.

The officiant went to Maui.

And our florist has been booked

by a charity event,

which is kind of irrelevant,

because it's too late for them to get

the flowers that we wanted anyway.

Okay, well, what about the cake?

She said something about

a restraining order and then hung up.

And the tuxedo guys is closed

until New Year's anyway.

We can just wait.

We don't have to do it on Christmas.

We can call

a justice of the peace.

Look, I promised my bride-to-be

a Christmas wedding.

And that is exactly

what you're going to get.

You're sweet.

I promise,

All right.

Hey hey hey, guys, guys.

Finally the big day had arrived.

- Merry Christmas.

- Santa came.

Come on, wake up.

We've got to go open presents.

- Come on, come on, Mom.

- Come on, Mom.

- Rusty. Rusty.

- Where's Grandma?

- Come on, Rusty. Come on.

- Five more minutes.

- No, now. Come on.

- No, come on, now.

- All right.

- Rusty wants you to.

You are crazy, boys.

- Move it, move it, move it.

- Come on, go go go.

- Look, Santa came.

- Nice.

Oh my gosh.

Yay! Here we go.

- Oh boy, a bone.

- That's mine, yep.

Merry Christmas, girls.

- Come here, honey.

- Cool.

This is awesome.

- Sweet.

- Daddy, it's my bunny.

Aw, look at that.

it's the bear you always wanted,

but you never got it for Christmas.

This is.

How did you know I wanted it?

This is for me too.

- I got a frog.

- A frog?

- Look at it.

- What?

? 'Tis the season to be jolly ?

? Fa Ia Ia Ia Ia

Ia Ia Ia Ia ?

? Fa Ia Ia Ia Ia ?

? La Ia Ia ?

? La. ?

My client does not even get out of bed
