Oh, man!

What is he doing here?

It's Saturday. He can't fire

us on Saturday. Can he?

What's the company policy

in a situation like this?

We're in a bit of

a gray area here.

Guys, calm down. I invited him.

You what?

If we're gonna have a chance

at beating the snow belles,

we need help.

And Nick has

serious skills.

He does? You do?

How do you know this?

I can't tell you that,

but trust me... we need him.

I wasn't sure

you were gonna come.

Well, I didn't really

have a choice, did I?

No, I guess you didn't.

So... this is the group?

What do you call yourselves?

You have a name?

Sir, I'm Larry

from purchasing.

I know your name, Larry.

I'm talking about the group.

What do you call the group?

Well, we're sort of

still working on that.

You don't have a name? Mm-mm.

Okay, all right.

We'll get to that later.

I am sensing some hostility.

True that.

Guys, he's here

to help us.

What do you think?

How do we sound?

Well, at least you can sing.

Yeah!

Not you so much, bu the

rest of you aren't bad.

I mean,

they're not good.

Okay.

Look, you're just not...

Working as a team.

You need to think of your

voices as keys on a piano.

Separately,

you make sounds,

but together,

you make music.

Damn!

That's deep, son.

Now, you guys...

You have potential.

But what you don't

have is time.

So if I'm gonna

help you,

you need to do

exactly as I say.

Check.

Also, I am only

helping you.

I am not part

of your group.

Chiggity-check.

Don't do that.

Sorry. No one can

know about this.

No one. Clear?

Word. Got it. Crystal clear.

Okay.

Let's take it from the top.

Well, that wasn't

totally excruciating.

But we still have

a lot of work to do.

I think it's great.

Heh heh.

All right, guys, that's enough for tonight.

Who wants a drink?

I do.

Ooh.

Okay.

So are you coming?

I got work to do.

It's 8:
30.

You're going back

to the office?

The time that I waste

here in the warehouse

has to be made up

somehow, doesn't it?

Unless, of course, you would

like to delete that video.

Are you kidding me?

Because of you,

I'm starting to believe

we have a chance.

Come on, just have

one drink with us.

No, thanks.

Man, you really

need to get a life.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

Says the girl who

blackmailed her boss

so that her caroling group

can sing in a mall.

All right. Well,

if you change your mind,

we'll be at Deacon's tavern.

Heh.

You do know where

that is, right?

Ha ha. Very funny.

All right, bye.

Good night, holly.

Ow!

I drive by this place

every day,

but it never occurred to me

to actually come inside.

I always though it was

full of day drinkers

and people with mullets.

Whoo!

Yee-haw!

And was not wrong.

Listen, guys,

I want to thank you

for working

so hard on this.

I couldn't have

done it without you.

Are you kidding?

I'm still riding high

from tonight's practice.

I'm having the best time.

My wife can't wait

to see us perform.

Wait, wait, wait!

You have a wife?

Yeah... Theresa.

She married me

for my body.

Not this body.

The one I had

when we got married.

Oh.

Oh!

I'm glad you

asked me, too, holly.

I haven't had a whole

lot to do after work

since I beat

red horizon 2.

Yeah. You beat

red horizon 2.

Mm-hmm, twice.

Whoa. That is hot.

That isn't appropriate.

But I'm okay with it.

Well, I'm glad

we're in this together.

So here's to...

Whatever we're called.

Nick's right.

We need a name.

I got it.

Holidazed and confused.

Ha!

No.

Ooh, I got one!

The snow tunes.

Sounds kind of like show

tunes, but it's snow tunes.

Right.

That's okay.

We need something cool,

something that rocks. Yes, yes!

Sled zeppelin.

Clever.

Hmm, not quite.

The backstreet goys.

Okay, that's

just stupid.

And I'm Jewish.

I did not know that.

Guys, the snow belles have

been doing this forever.

We need a name that

screams holiday tradition.

We have until Friday

to sign up,

so clearly, we can think

of something by then.

Oh! Oh!

Oh, I got nothin'.

Hey, bonkers.

How hard is it to come up

with a freaking name?

That's it.

Bye, bonkers.

Listen, baby,

if you want to audition,

you gotta come down here

and sign up in person,

just like everybody else.

Yeah. I got somebody else in my office.

I gotta jump.

So... what can I

do for you, babe?

Uh...

Hey. It's you!

Yeah, it's me.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Lady, I got to admit,

I thought you were nuts for

taking on the snow belles,

but this is the best

thing that's happened

since we put stuff on a

stick in the food court.

Foot traffic's up 60%,

and we've still got two

weeks till Christmas!

And I owe it all

to you.

I came here to sign up

for the auditions.

Yeah. Sure.

Here's the list.

Wow. That's

a lot of groups.

No. That's

a lot of groups.

Just sign

at the bottom.

How awful are they?

Not awful enough.

Hmm? Please.

They're, like,

a group of rejects.

And that holly girl...

Yeah, she's not so great.

Oh, please. Don't be

an idiot, staci.

Holly was easily the best singer

to try out for the belles.

Well, then why did you...

Because the snow belles

are my group,

and I'm not gonna let

some diva come in here

and take this all

away from me.

Besides, I didn't know

that little door mouse

was gonna start

a war over it.

But make no mistake,

staci...

Holly has talent

and a grudge.

She's dangerous.

So what are you

gonna do?

Oh. Heh heh.

I'm gonna give her

what she wants.

Ooh. Christmas cookies.

Ah! You know...

To wear a snow belles

costume,

you actually

have to fit...
