Yes, sir. I redrafted the contracts

to include the new stipulations.

- Then where are they?

- I'm faxing the revisions now.

Did you make all the changes I asked for?

Yes. I included the four percent increase

and the extra 2 million.

No, no. If it's a four percent increase then

you have to add at least 3 million dollars.

That's not what I was told.

- Who told you that?

- Their lawyers.

They're all idiots! I don't understand

this total lack of communication.

It's okay. I just had no way of knowing, sir.

Look, this is what I need you to do.

- Sir, could I put you on hold for a second?

- Okay.

- Thanks. Hi, Jody.

- Mr. Harper wants to see you in his office.

- Great. Of course.

- Still want me to fax those?

You don't have to. I'm not even done yet.

You should go home.

- Are you sure?

- It's late.

I don't want your parents to worry.

Get out of here.

- Okay. Merry Christmas, Angela.

- Merry Christmas, Jody.

Hi, Lorraine. Of course I'm going to make it.

Just let me call you back. Okay?

In a few minutes, I promise. Okay.

Still on the Morgan deal?

What can I do for you, Jim?

I...

I don't know how to...

Angela, I feel terrible about what happened.

It's fine. Let's just not worry about it, okay?

No, it's not okay. I acted like a real jerk.

I had too many drinks and... You know

how these Christmas parties can be.

We had a baby last year, and...

It's been a hard year.

I'm sure that it has.

I simply want to tell you

that I'm really, really sorry. Okay?

Apology accepted.

Thanks. Merry Christmas, Angela.

You too, Jim.

You calling me from work?

Thought you were going home first.

- I brought everything with me. Don't worry.

Get over here, Angie.

God, I am

so late with this dinner.

Did you pick up the Santa Claus costume?

I hope you didn't forget it.

It's in the car.

I think Dad is more excited than the kids.

I can't wait to get out of here

and see you guys.

Jimmy, put that back.

We're having dinner soon.

- You want Santa to come tonight or not?

Mommy, I want Santa to come.

Then help me set the table.

- Please don't be late.

- I won't. I promise.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

Okay.

- Oh, Jesus!

- My God!

- Sorry, Angela...

- It's okay.

I was just locking up the floors.

I didn't know anybody would be working

this late on Christmas Eve.

- Me neither.

- Sorry.

I'll come back later, all right?

Actually, if you wouldn't

mind waiting, I'll lock my office

- and take the elevator down with you.

- Sure.

Two seconds.

Do you work all night?

Yeah, but they're closing the building

for the next three days.

- Besides, I get New Year's Eve off.

- That's good.

I hope to get home in time

for the girls to open up the presents.

- How are they?

- Great.

- Your parents can't stand me.

- You're wrong. They love you.

- So, where are you going this evening?

- I'm going to my sister's house in Jersey.

I thought of you more as

an Upper East Side girl.

Upper east side of Maine, actually.

I grew up on a farm.

Now, I'm having trouble believing that.

Hey, don't let the fancy clothes fool you.

I keep it real.

Is that what you call it? Keeping it real?

- Goodnight, Karl.

- Merry Christmas, Angela.

You too. I'll see you soon.

I promise you I'm leaving right now.

I know. I'm sorry, but I'm in the elevator.

Twenty- five minutes, tops.

I can't hear you. What?

Lorraine, you're breaking up.

Hello?

You have got to be kidding.

Come on.

Oh, God. What am I gonna do?

I'm getting out of the car

is what I'm gonna do.

Oh, sh*t.

Hello?

Jesus!

Rocky, what are you doing? Heel.

Stay. Down.

- Sorry about that.

- It's okay.

Look, can you unlock the door

to the elevator room?

My car won't start, and I need to

get upstairs and get a cab.

Yeah, I can.

I've just got to find my key cards.

Sorry. Where are those darn keys?

I'm about to do my rounds anyway, so...

- Okay, great.

- What happened to your car?

- I have no idea.

- You probably left the lights on.

I don't think so. I'm usually pretty good

about that kind of thing.

People do it all the time. It's instinctive.

You drive down here, it's dark... It happens.

Here we go.

- Great.

- You know, actually...

I have a charger in the back, so if it is

your battery probably you could use that.

Thank you, but... I really should

just take a cab. I'm so late as it is.

No, no. It would probably take longer

to get a cab. It's Christmas Eve.

So... I don't know. Up to you.

Whatever you want.

- How long will it take?

- Just a few minutes.

Now with beautiful Metropolitan

Opera House in the background,

let's check out

the temperatures in the Tri- State Area.

- Which way to your car?

- Over there.

Okay.

Working late, huh? I know how you feel.

These are pretty reliable cars

for the most part, right?

They're supposed to be.

All right. Positive...

Negative.

- All right, try it. Turn her over.

- Okay.

Strange.

Hang on. Can you turn your headlights on?

Weird. Try turning the keys again.

- Damn it.

- All right. I guess turn the headlights off.

You know what?

That's it.

You've been a great help, but I give up.

Sorry. I don't know what happened.

I thought I could do something.

You've been great. Could you just

let me in the elevator room now?

I was just trying to help.

I know. And I appreciate it. Thank you.

Hey, I know you're upset

about your car not starting, but...

It's the holidays. It's time to be thankful.

You know what? You're right.

- Yeah?

- I should be thankful.

I, uh...

I prepared

a small Christmas meal for myself.

You could join me if you want.

- I'm just kidding.

- Oh, sorry. I'm exhausted.

But thanks for your help.

You're welcome. Maybe some other time?

Sure.

All right.

Here you go. You sure

you don't want me to call you a cab?

- No. I've got a number in my bag.

- Suit yourself. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Karl?

Hi. Can I get a car

at 2370 Park Avenue, please?

Are you sure? No, that's okay.

I'll wait. Thanks.

Lorraine, you won't believe what happened.

No, my car wouldn't start.

Just start without me, and I'll be there

within the hour and I'll make it up to them.

Okay. I'll see you soon. Bye.

Hello? Oh, great. Thank you!

Okay. Okay.

Oh, come on.

What?

This is not happening. Is this a joke?

God, no, you gotta be kidding me.

Karl? Where are you? Is anybody here?

Come on, come on, come on.

What?

One second, okay? I'll be right back.

Just one second.

Hello, can you hear me?

I've got a cab waiting for me.

Can you open the front gate, please?

Hello?

No... Wait!

No! Damn it!

Why would you leave me here?

Wake up! The cab just left.

Hey! I'm still in here! Wait!

Great.

It's okay.

Hello?

Stop being paranoid.

Go down to the office.

Hello?

Oh, f***!

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!

You've been a good little girl.

Wait. It's okay. You're all right. Okay?

All right?

You're not looking so good. Are you okay?

Take it easy. It's okay.

- What happened to me? What time is it?

- You just fell. You'll be all right.
