The Mistle-Tones Page #5

Into a snow belles

costume.

You called

us the mistle-tones?

That's stupider than any of

the ideas we came up with.

I like it.

Me, too.

Works for me.

You know, it's kind of

growing on me.

Nick,

next time this year,

you'll be running

an entire division.

Sounds good to me, Jim.

You know what sounds good?

The engines on

a corporate g-5

as you leave ridgeburg

for good.

Ridgefield.

Whatever.

If you deliver

the quarterly numbers

you're on track to deliver,

you're golden.

I'll catch you later.

So who said you could

stop working?

Heh! Holly.

My car won't start.

I just came inside

to call a cab.

That's fine.

I can give you a ride.

Oh, no, no,

you don't have to.

No, it's fine. I'm done

for the night, anyway.

Okay. Well, if it's

not too much trouble.

No, it's no trouble

at all.

Let me just

get my stuff.

You ready?

Yeah. Sure, let's go.

So... everybody was looking

pretty good today.

Larry hit

all his marks.

Bernie... seems like

she's having fun.

And ajay is... He's not

singing through his nose.

I'd say

the mistle-tones

have a decent shot

on Saturday.

You know, you could've

told them that.

Yeah, that's not really

my management style.

I've noticed.

Hey, I get results.

That's why you're forcing

me to do this, right?

No, I'm forcing you

to do this

because under that

corporate robot exterior

beats the heart

of a rock star.

Ha! Come on.

No, I'm serious.

That guy on stage

is amazing.

You should try being him

a little more often.

He's fun.

I was that guy,

holly, for a long time.

And then I grew up.

Boo.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, but not all of our

lives can be made complete

by singing in a shopping

mall Christmas show.

Oh, yeah. And a wall full of

corporate "way to go" plaques

is so much more

meaningful.

Hey, I worked very hard for

those "way to go" plaques.

Work isn't the same

as passion.

When you find something

that makes you happy,

you can't give up on it,

no matter what.

Look, let's just agree that we

both want different things.

Fine.

But your thing's

stupider than mine.

Ah, that's me...

The one with

all the lights.

Yeah, I figured.

So let's say

you get your wish.

You beat

the snow belles,

the mistle-tones perform

on Christmas Eve.

What are you

gonna open with?

I don't know.

But I do know what

I'm gonna close with.

When my mom

was a snow belle,

they closed with

the same song every year.

The snow's coming down

I'm watching it fall

lots of people around

baby, please come home

the church bells

in town

all singing its song

full of happy sounds

baby, please come home

It's perfect.

Well, thanks

for the ride.

No problem.

Heh. Good night.

Holly.

Don't forget... The

holiday party's tomorrow.

I don't know why I just

told you that. Heh!

Well, I appreciate

the reminder.

Good night... again.

Good night.

It's about time

you got home.

Marci? So... tell me everything.

Was that

your boyfriend?

Uh, what are you

doing here?

Holly, I think we got

off on the wrong foot.

I just want you to

know that, honestly,

I don't blame you for

starting this whole mess.

So I've been thinking...

Working against each other

doesn't do anyone

any good.

But if we

joined together,

then none

of those groups

could even hold

a candle to us.

What are you

talking about?

In the spirit

of Christmas,

I have decided to make room

for a sixth snow belle.

So, holly...

Congratulations.

You're in. Aah!

Ohh! You're a belle!

Just like your mom.

Oh. I know. This is so

overwhelming for you.

Yes, right, okay.

You know what?

You take the night,

let it sink in,

then meet us at the church

first thing Monday morning,

'cause we have

a lot of work to do.

Let's bounce, ViXen.

Bye!

Wha...

Attention, everybody!

Happy holidays!

Please drink responsibly.

Whoa.

Guys, this is the lamest

holiday party ever, isn't it?

No, it's just...

Yeah, it's pretty lame.

Don't worry.

I can fix this.

Not that lame, though.

Like, only 9% lamer

than last year.

Just like

the report said.

Thank you.

Hey. You're missing a really

pathetic holiday party out there.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh, wow. Heh.

Merry Christmas.

Do you think the

mistle-tones have a chance

of winning

this contest?

Well...

You've only had, like, a

week and a half to practice.

I'll take that

as a "no".

I didn't say no.

But you didn't say yes.

Okay.

Holly, what's this

really about?

All right. Marci came by

the house last night,

and she asked me to

join the snow belles.

Seriously?

Yeah, it was weird.

She just showed up

and said I was in.

Hmm. So are you

gonna do it?

I don't know. I mean, if

I join the snow belles,

I'm practically

guaranteed a chance

to sing on

Christmas Eve.

The tones are fun, but

you said it yourself...

We don't have

a chance.

Okay, then you have

a choice to make.

Do you take a risk, or do

you go with the sure thing?

What would you do?

You'd take

the sure thing.

This is your

decision, holly.

Why didn't she just let

me in when I tried out?

Sometimes the opportunities

that we want

don't always come exactly

when we want them to.

Heh. What are you doing?

Thank you

for your help.

I guess I'd better

go tell the guys.

Mm. Wow.

That's awful.

Whoa, coming through.

Always keep this baby

in the car...

In case of emergency.

Check one, two,

one to the two.

All right, Ridgefield

international resources...

If you down

for a little karaoke,

make some noise!

Yay!

Richfield, if you down

for a little karaoke,

make some noise!

Yay! Whoo!

Yay!

Yay.

Okay, you know what?

I'm just gonna leave this on.

Use it, don't use it...

See if I care.

I tried.

Thank you.

Hey, guys.

I need to talk to you.

What's up?

What's going on?

It's about the

audition tomorrow.

Everybody, can I have

your attention, please?

There's something I need

to share with you.

sleigh bells ring,

are you listening?

In the Lane,

snow is glistening

a beautiful sight,

we're happy tonight

in a winter wonderland
