The Best Man Holiday Page #9

---

No, we're...

I don't think I...

Get those cameras

out of my face!

Okay, okay, I will try.

You suck!

Lance, Lance? First off,

thanks for the seats.

The seats are amazing,

the game looks great.

Mia's on the phone for you.

What's up, baby?

You okay?

No, I'm just...

Yeah, I'm trying to focus.

Get off the phone, man!

Everything okay?

Come on, D! Big down

right here! Big down!

Give me the ball, Coach.

You're done, L.

Take a seat.

Coach, give me the ball.

With a half that

he and his team

would like to

forget behind him now,

Lance Sullivan lines up again

in the backfield.

He's going to have to turn

it on in order to get a victory,

and walk away with

the rushing record.

The give is to Sullivan.

Up the middle,

skips a tackler, dodges another

tackler. Stiff-arm!

And he's off to the races!

Breaks free in the open field.

Come on, baby.

Twenty, 10, 5...

Come on, come on!

Touchdown Giants!

And a beautiful run

by Lance Sullivan.

Sullivan, 65 yards.

He must have bathed in the

fountain of youth at halftime.

Girl, what did you say to him?

I told him what I

wanted for Christmas.

Well, it worked.

All you, baby!

Lance Sullivan is

just eating up yardage.

He is attacking

this Atlanta defense.

That's what I'm talking about!

This is a night you

live for as a running back.

Is that a 15-year

veteran doing that?

Did you see that, Murch?

It was like this!

26-yard gain. First down.

Yeah, that's right! Let's go, boy!

I'm young! I'll be back!

Yeah, let's go!

Sullivan out of the

backfield, takes the pass.

He's got a chance to

get this record break.

Timeout Atlanta.

We'll be back.

J?

Mmm.

Do you remember

Janice Burroughs?

Three years behind,

Pocahontas hair,

real pretty,

smooth cinnamon skin.

She had a big ol' booty and

she used to smile like this.

I know exactly who you're talking about.

I hated her.

Me, too!

Well,

Lance can get remarried,

but not to her.

You got me?

Yeah.

Okay.

This has been an unbelievable

second half for Lance Sullivan.

Yes!

Go on, Dad.

I don't want to

let you down, Mia.

Look at them.

Titi J,

you are their

godmother for a reason.

And you have to

be open to love.

Okay?

Got it.

You're going to be fine.

Seven seconds on the clock.

Fourth and goal.

The Giants down five.

A touchdown here wins it.

Break.

Greg, as a player, this

is the moment that you live for.

Fourth and goal. It's going to come

down to who wants it the most.

The defense shifts.

Here we go.

Okay.

Come on, man, come on!

Red 80!

Go!

The snap.

The give is to Sullivan.

To the right side.

Hit inside

the five by two defenders.

Still on his feet!

Three defenders!

Sullivan looking

for the end zone!

Touchdown!

Touchdown Giants,

touchdown Sullivan.

And with that carry,

Lance Sullivan breaks

the all-time rushing record.

What a gift to the fans.

Did you see that, Mom?

Yeah. Daddy did it.

He did it.

You mentioned

it earlier, Eddie,

a leader of his team, in his

community, in the league!

A faithful family

man who has always

displayed a level

of professionalism

since he came into the league

as a Heisman winner...

I love you, babies.

I love you too, Mommy.

Love you, Mom.

You did it, L-Boogie!

We got to go, we got to go.

I love you.

I love you.

Daddy!

Daddy, you were...

You scored 100!

You were so good.

You guys saw the game?

It was so good!

I love you.

I'm glad you guys saw it.

You're good every time.

Thank you.

Come, little ones.

Give Mommy and Daddy time.

Hi.

Hey.

You did it.

Yeah.

I did it.

My hero.

I love you, Lance Sullivan.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Merry Christmas.

Hey.

I'll see you over there.

Hey, Harp. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Harper.

Hi, Julian.

Listen, before I'm all crazed

and hopped up on Valium,

I wanted to give you this.

What's this?

It's your Christmas miracle.

Shelby, I can't.

You can. And you will.

Just one condition.

Can we just arrange some

playdates for the girls?

Sure.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

As around the Sun the

Earth knows she's revolving

And the rosebuds

know to bloom in early May

Just as hate

knows love's the cure

You can rest your mind assured

That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow

burns the stars out in the sky

See, always

Until the ocean

covers every mountain high

Always

Until the dolphin flies

and parrots live at sea

Always

Until we dream of life

and life becomes a dream

Did you know true

love asks for nothing?

Mia Morgan Sullivan.

Excuse me.

Mia Morgan Sullivan

was one of the greatest people

any of us has ever known.

Even though none of us wanted

to believe she would be here,

she knew.

She knew she would.

Take your time.

Come on, babies.

She made sure that we

would all be here, too.

Not to mourn death,

but to celebrate life.

Being with her in the days

leading to her home-going,

was the greatest gift

any of us have ever received.

Because of her,

we are friends for life.

Because of her, we're family.

Kennedy, where...

Mia was, and is an angel.

It's tragically ironic that the

day we received the Son of God,

he called one of

his daughters home.

I know that God has a plan.

I know.

But this one...

This one is really hard to accept.

She can't go.

She can't go.

No, she can't go, she can't go.

She can't go, she can't.

She can't go.

It's all right.

It's okay.

Baby, do you want me to fix you a plate?

The potato salad is great.

Have you seen my mom?

Why do we keep doing this?

Who knows?

Maybe it's in the stars.

Quentin, we're both

emotional right now.

This is not a love connection.

What if it is?

I wonder what

would happen if...

If you and I really

gave it a shot.

Oh, hell no.

Where's my underwear?

You didn't wear any.

Oh, yeah.

That was nice.

You're disgusting.

Hey, L.

Robyn and I are

about to take off.

Do you need anything?

No, I'm good, man, thanks.

Okay.

That was a great eulogy, man.

It was perfect.

Thanks.

Whatever he's doing up there,

I don't know, I just don't

think it's fair, man.

I don't think I can have faith

in something like that.

I hear you, man.

But he's always there.

That's why you'll

always be the better man.

Thanks for the baby clothes.

And keep in touch.

All right.

I'm going to go to the kitchen.

Do you need anything?

I'm fine, honey. Thanks.

Baby, I know you're fine.

Oh, hey, Julian, I talked

to a couple of people,

I might have some leads for

you if you're interested.

There's always next year, sure!

Excuse us, ladies.

He is a cutie-pie keeper.

Yes, he is.

I love him.

Yeah, I love him.

Uh-huh. I can tell!

Are you okay, Robyn?

Yeah, I'm fine,

I just... Oh!

Oh, my God, you're n labor.

No, no, I'm not.

Just help me up so

I can go to the bathroom.

Oh!

Oh, my God, it's happening.

Harper!

Okay. How far apart

are the contractions?

They're about 10 minutes.

She said about 10 minutes.

Lance, hurry.

We're about 45

minutes at least.

Just breathe,
