That was better.

That was perfect...

If you were trying to sound

like a dying moose... Barb.

Now do it again,

from the top.

All right, bye.

Bye, guys.

See you guys later.

Have a good night.

Hey, so we were seriously

on point tonight, right?

Are you kidding me?

What are you talking about? You

said we're getting better.

The snow belles have been

doing this for years.

They're like

caroling robots.

They're gonna

destroy us.

Man, you're

a serious buzz-kill.

We're missing something.

Like what?

I don't know. We need

better moves or something.

It needs to be

more like a...

Like a show.

We got a week

to figure it out.

I'll see you, holly.

Okay, bye.

We are so screwed.

Arning.

Icy roads still in effect.

And here's a word

from our sponsor.

Hey, folks, it's Mike

from the linden grove mall,

reminding you to sign up

for the deck the mall

auditions.

Who knows? You could be

caroling on our stage...

Christmas Eve!

Ugh. Please kill me now.

See you guys!

Aah!

I don't want to die!

I don't want to die!

I don't want to die! Aah!

Ohh.

Hi. Yeah. Um...

My car is stuck

in the snow on main street,

just past overlook.

Okay, how long

is that gonna be?

Yes, I know that there's

a winter storm warning.

Fine. Just get here

when you can.

Thanks.

Just me and you and me

Wow! That was really,

really bad.

Can I have a glass

of white wine?

Up next, it's the king

of karaoke,

and he's here

to rock the mic!

Give it up,

dickens tavern!

Lord almighty

I feel my temperature

rising

higher, higher

it's burning through

to my soul

Oh, my God.

Girl, girl, girl

you're gonna set me

on fire, whoa!

My brain is flaming

I don't know

which way to go

'cause your kisses

lift me higher

like the sweet song

of a choir

and you light

my morning sky

with burning love

ooh, ooh, ooh

I feel my temperature

rising

oh, rising

help me, I'm flaming

I must be 109

yeah

burning, burning, burning

and nothing can cool me

I just might turn

into smoke

but I feel fine

'cause your kisses

lift me higher

like the sweet song

of a choir

and you light

my morning sky

with burning love

yeah

oh, my God!

'Cause your kisses

lift me higher

like the sweet song

of a choir

and you light

my morning sky

with burning love

Thank you!

Yeah!

St. Nick is in the house!

I pity the fool that

has to follow that.

Wow. That was

impressive.

Ah, I was just having fun, you know?

Doing my thing.

Glad you dug it.

I mean, I would not

have believed that

if I hadn't seen it

with my own eyes.

What are you doing here?

Nick, you were amazing!

You cannot tell anyone

at work about this.

Look, you should not

be embarrassed, okay?

You were great.

No one at work can know!

Do you realize what this would

do for you around the office?

People would

actually like you!

People like me.

You know what? I'm...

I'm the boss, okay?

My job isn't

to be liked.

It's to make sure that

the work gets done.

Absolutely.

You're right.

So do you

do this a lot?

Every Friday night.

You had the crowd in the

palm of your hands.

You were

unbelievable!

Gotta give

the people a show.

Right.

A lot of people think it's

just about getting up there

and hitting the notes,

but there is

so much more to it.

There's stagecraft,

there's choreography.

Everybody in the audience has to feel

like you are singing directly to them.

Exactly.

Holly... you okay?

We need your help.

We? Who's we?

Please, Nick.

I can only take

the group so far.

We just need a little bit

of what you've got.

It's the only way we can

beat the snow belles.

Forget it. I want

no part of this.

If you could just teach us

to do what you do...

Holly, this

conversation is over.

As far as I'm concerned, I never

saw you, you never saw me.

This never happened.

And you know what?

I don't want you guys using

the warehouse anymore.

You're slacking off

as it is.

Oh, yeah. I noticed.

Oh, yeah? Then I guess I'll

have to tell everybody

about St. Nick.

The king of karaoke.

Go ahead. Nobody

would believe you.

Really?

Well, the Internet

was invented for this.

...take me higher

Come next Friday, the entire

office will be down here.

You wouldn't dare.

Warehouse,

tomorrow, 2:
30...

Or this goes viral

at 3:
00.

with truth and grace
