IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

OH, REALLY? WHICH PART?

CATCH YOU IN THE ARMS

OF ANOTHER MAN:

OR THE PART WHERE YOU

THROW BOTH OUR CAREERS

OUT THE WINDOW?

I'M SORRY.

WHAT DO YOU:

WANT ME TO SAY?

I DIDN'T PLAN

ANY OF THIS.

OH, PLEASE.

I THOUGHT I LEFT THIS

ALL BEHIND ME.

BUT I CAN'T...

EVER HAD A CRACK AT.

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU

SCREW THIS UP, MARY.

YEAH.

L, I TRUSTED YOU.

SEE WHERE THAT GOT ME?

[GASPS]

I'M TAKING THIS

TO THE BOARD TO:

PITCH MY IDEA.

IF YOU'RE SMART,

YOU'LL COME WITH ME.

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND.

FINE. ENJOY THE PEACE

'CAUSE WHEN NEX CHRISTMAS ROLLS AROUND,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

SOME NEW NEIGHBORS.

NOW, HOLD I RIGHT THERE, YOUNG MAN.

I REALLY BLEW IT.

HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN

SO WRONG ABOUT SOMEBODY?

WHAT IF:

YOU JUST HAVE TO

BELIEVE, MARY.

HOW CAN WE HAVE CHRISTMAS

WITHOUT ENOUGH TOYS?

LOOKS LIKE:

GOOD.

TAKE ME TO THE OFFICE.

HI, THERE.

THEY'RE ALL HERE.

THANKS.

GRANT.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO JUSTIFY

THESE NUMBERS TO THE BOARD.

NOW, YOU'RE TALKING ABOU SPENDING $90 MILLION

IN NORTHERN CANADA.

NOT TO WORRY, TJ.

WE'LL RECOUP THOSE COSTS

WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.

THIS PROPERTY:

IS THE CENTERPIECE

OF MY NEW PLAN.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

BEHOLD.

I GIVE YOU THE ULTIMATE

IN DESTINATION SHOPPING.

GRANT...

WHAT MAKES THIS THE ULTIMATE

IN DESTINATION SHOPPING?

WELL, YOU'RE NO GONNA BELIEVE THIS.

WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE

THESE PICTURES.

LATE. LATE.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

OH, MS. CLASS.

WELCOME.

WE WERE TALKING:

ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL.

MY--

WELL, OURS.

TJ THINKS IT'S

A BRILLIANT IDEA.

WELL, I THINK

IT'S...

A TERRIFIC PLAN.

A UNIQUE:

CHRISTMAS-THEMED MALL.

GRANT AND I JUST HAD

A DIFFERENCE IN OPINION

ABOUT LOCATION.

OH, REALLY?

MARY--

I'M SURE HE TOLD YOU

ABOUT THE AVALANCHE

PROBLEM.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

AVALANCHE?

WELL, IT'S NOTHING

THAT THE ENGINEERS

CAN'T WORK AROUND.

YEAH, SURE.

ASSUMING THEY CAN

HANDLE THE COLD.

COLD?

30 BELOW...

AND THAT IS ON:

A WARM DAY.

CLEARLY,

IF THESE WERE ISSUES,

THERE WOULDN'T BE

A TOWN...RIGHT THERE!

OH, IT'S AN INUIT TOWN.

GRANT, WHAT ARE YOU

TRYING TO SELL ME HERE?

MARY, STOP IT.

STOP WHAT, GRANT?

I TOLD YOU BEFORE,

I THINK IT'S A TERRIFIC

IDEA FOR A MALL...

JUST OUTSIDE BISMARCK

OR NEAR MINNEAPOLIS.

NO, IT HAS TO BE HERE.

IT HAS TO BE HERE!

MR. HAMILTON,

I APOLOGIZE.

GRANT IS UNDER:

A LOT OF STRESS.

NO, IT'S NOT STRESS!

YOU KNOW THA IS HAS TO BE HERE.

DON'T DENY IT.

GRANT, DARLING,

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I THINK YOU JUST NEED

TO TAKE A LITTLE REST.

NO. TELL THEM!

YOU TELL THEM:

WHAT'S UP THERE.
