A MINUTE OUTSIDE, PLEASE?

OH, LOOK. YOU TWO ARE

UNDER THE MISTLETOE.

GO ON, NICK.

YOU HAD NO RIGH TO DO THIS.

AND WHO DO YOU:

THINK YOU ARE?

NICK. I TOLD YOU

IN THE JEEP.

I'M...

YOU KNOW...

DON'T MAKE JOKES.

I'M NOT MAKING JOKES.

YOU WERE ROOTING THROUGH

MY PERSONAL SPACE.

NO, NO.

LORNA LET ME IN.

YOU WERE. YOU WERE GOING

THROUGH ALL OF MY THINGS.

I JUST WANTED:

TO CHEER YOU UP.

I DON'T REMEMBER SAYING

I NEEDED CHEERING UP.

ALL THOSE BOXES:

IN THE ATTIC...

I DIDN'T THINK YOUR

MOTHER'D BE HAPPY

IF SHE KNEW HER:

FAVORITE DECORATIONS

WERE TUCKED AWAY

IN AN ATTIC:

YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR,

I DIDN'T THINK.

YOU DIDN'T THINK?

RIGHT.

YOU DIDN'T THINK?

I HOPE MAYBE NOW

YOU'RE CHEERED UP.

ALL RIGHT...

SANDY,

YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY, I SHOULDN'T--

I'M SORRY.

BUT, I MEAN,

LOOK AROUND YOU.

LOOK AT ALL THIS.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

WHAT DO I SEE?

I SEE...

PRETTY GOOD, HUH?

LISTEN, SANDY, THERE'S

SOMETHING I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

I'M...

I...

TELL HER NOW, NICKY-BOY.

...THOUGHT THA I MIGHT COOK DINNER.

FOR EVERYONE HERE.

TO THANK THEM FOR

THEIR HOSPITALITY.

[SCOFFS]

AND MAYBE WE:

COULD DRESS UP...

ALSO.

OK.

OK.

[NECK CRACKS]

[SIGHS]

WHAT WAS THAT?

YOU DIDN'T TELL HER.

I PANICKED.

LEAVE ME BE.

WHO KNEW SANTA:

WAS A DWEEB.

YOU CAN'T HAVE

TWO SKATEBOARDS.

THAT'S TOO MANY

SKATEBOARDS.

DUDE, YOU AIN'T SEEN

NOTHING YET.

THIS IS NOT REALLY

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

[DOOR OPENS]

OH, HEY, HECTOR--

I'M TAKING MY DRESS

WITH ME.

I'M GONNA TRY TO GE OFF WORK EARLY.

BUT, BABY, I'M SORRY.

I REALLY CAN'T MAKE YOU

ANY PROMISES, OK?

YEAH, WHATEVER.

LOOK, I KNOW I'VE BEEN

WORKING A LOT LATELY,

BUT TRUST ME,

I DON'T LIKE I ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.

WHATEVER.

[DOOR CLOSES]

THIS HAPPENS:

EVERY CHRISTMAS.

I REALLY DO HATE MY JOB

THIS TIME OF YEAR.

LISTEN, HE'LL

UNDERSTAND ONE DAY.

HE'S JUST A KID.

PLUS, IT'S IMPORTAN WHAT YOU DO.

I'M IN DELIVERY TOO,

I SHOULD KNOW.

AND ALL THE CARDS

AND GIFTS,

AND LETTERS, PRESENTS.

HOW ARE THEY:

GOING TO GE TO WHERE THEY'RE GOING

WITHOUT US?

AND THINK OF HOW HAPPY

THAT MAKES PEOPLE.

[SCOFFS]

ALL I CAN THINK ABOU RIGHT NOW

IS HOW TIRED IT MAKES ME.

WE DELIVER MAGIC, ISABEL.

YOU'RE A LUCKY WOMAN.

[ENGINE STARTS]

WHAT IS THAT FOR?

NOTHING.

GOOD MORNING.

I FOUND SOME MORE.

THESE WERE UNDER MY BED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE

YOU HAD ALL THESE

LOVELY THINGS PACKED AWAY.

I KNOW, IT'S SO GOOD

TO SEE IT ALL AGAIN.

SO, UM...

WHERE'S NICK?

OH, I IMAGINE HE'D

BE OFF BUYING A TURKEY

AT THE SUPERMARKE ABOUT NOW.

DOING EVERYTHING BUT THE ONE

THING HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

HEY, REMEMBER, HE WANTS

US ALL OUT OF THE HOUSE

UNTIL DINNER'S READY.

OH, HE'S REALLY

QUITE A FELLA.

YEAH.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE HE IS.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU.

LORNA!

THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON

BETWEEN ME AND NICK.

THERE ISN'T!

AND BESIDES,

HE LIVES IN CANADA.

SO...

FOR A WHOLE LOT OF

NOTHING GOING ON,

YOU SURE ARE BLUSHING.

[GIGGLES]

[BUDDY SNORTS]

NICK:
YEAH, WELL,

YOU WEREN'T THERE,

SO YOU DON'T KNOW,

ALL RIGHT?

IT WAS WONDERFUL.

FOR ONE SPECTACULAR MOMEN I WAS A NORMAL GUY

WHO STOOD A CHANCE

WITH A GIRL.

[BUDDY GRUNTS]

YEAH, I KNOW.

I KNOW, I KNOW, BUDDY.

IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS EVE

AND IT JUST SO HAPPENS,

THE PERFECT TIME TO FINALLY

TELL HER THE TRUTH,

DON'T YOU THINK?

[GRUNTS]

I HAVE A PLAN.

P-L-A-N-E, PLAN.

[BUDDY GRUNTS]

IS IT? NO "E"?

NO, YOU WERE ALWAYS

A BETTER SCHOLAR THAN ME.

THERE'S GONNA BE A GREAT PLAN,

A GREAT PLAN. WE'RE IN.

I'M GONNA COOK UP A HUGE

FEAST FOR THE ENTIRE HOUSE,

AND THEN WHEN THE TIME

IS RIGHT,

I'LL PULL SANDY ASIDE,

OFFER HER A LITTLE

MORE WINE,

AND THEN I'LL TELL HER.

TELL HER WHAT, NICK-O?

BUCK! IT'S BUCK.

HI, BUCK.

HEY, SO TELL ME

SOMETHING, NICK.

DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL

OR SOMETHING,

TO LEARN HOW TO TALK TO

THESE WALKING MEATLOAVES?

'CAUSE ME, I TRY AND TALK

TO THEM AND... NOTHING.

SO TELL ME, NICK...

YOU MAKING A MOVE ON MY GIRL?

[STUTTERING]

YOUR...?

[MIMICKING STUTTER]

HEY! LISTEN UP.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU.

EVER SINCE YOU'VE MOVED

INTO THE WACKO HOUSE.

SO DON'T YOU GO TRYING

PULLING ANYTHING OVER ON SANDY.

IF YOU DO...

I'LL FEED YOU

TO THE POLAR BEARS.

OH, WHAT THE HELL.

OH!

HEY...

[BUDDY GRUNTS]

IT'S OK.

HE TRIES THAT AGAIN...

I'LL KNOCK HIM

INTO THE BAY OF FUNDY.

YOU STAY PUT.

I'M GONNA GO THROW UP.

HEY, THERE.

OH! BUCK.

FOR THE LAST TIME:

WILL YOU STOP:

SNEAKING UP ON ME?

OOH, ME LIKE-Y THE SHOES.

[MEOWS]

[SCOFFS]

WE'RE HAVING

A HOUSE DINNER.

I THOUGHT I WOULD WEAR

SOMETHING NICE.

OH YEAH?

IS THAT GUY GONNA BE THERE?

WELL, IF YOU MEAN NICK...

YES...

HE IS A TENANT.

NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND--

MY INSTINCTS ARE TELLING

ME THAT HE'S TRYING

TO WORK SOME ANGLE ON YOU.

YOU BEING THE EXPERT ON ANGLES.

I THINK THAT HE WAS THE GUY

IN THE REINDEER PEN.

BUCK, JUST STOP.

THE WAY HE LOOKED AT YOU...

THE WAY HE COZIED UP

TO YOU LAST NIGHT.

YOU WERE SPYING ON ME?

BUCK, I WANT YOU

OUT OF MY LIFE.

HEY, I'M JUST TRYING

TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU, SANDY.

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

THAT'S JUST THE KIND

OF GUY THAT I AM.

GARNISH...

[WHOOSHING]

[TIMER RINGS]

HOT, HOT, HOT...

[BELLOWING]

GREAT NORTH!

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS

DOING HERE?

NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

YEAH, I'M SURE DAD WOULD

HAVE HANDLED IT DIFFERENTLY.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY HELP. NO

ONE ASKED YOU GUYS TO COME HERE.

YOU KNOW WHAT? THANKS

FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
