Secret Agent Man

Secret Agent Man

Hello, Mary Jo.

I Didn't

Take It.

It Wasn't Me.

I Was At Gymnastics.

You Can Even

Ask My Mother.

And, Hey, I Thought

Elves Were Supposed

To Be Tiny And Little,

With High, Squeaky Voices.

Don't Believe

Everything

You Hear, Ok?

I Believe You.

Have A Merry Christmas.

And Remember...

Be Good.

Woman:
Mary Jo.

Who Were You

Talking To?

Santa--

Santa Claus.

What Did I Tell You

About Fibbing?

But, Mom,

He Was Just Here!

Go To Your Room.

Mom!

Ahh. Now.

Argh!

Agent Maaaaaan

Check It Out.

I've Got

The Perfect Outfit

For Blake's Party.

My New Black Skirt

And My New

Red Blouse.

How Do You Like 'Em?

Great. Especially

Since I Loaned Them

To You Last Week.

Oh, Yeah.

Well, Maybe You Can

Give Them To Me

As An Early Christmas Present.

I Might As Well.

Every Time I Give

You Something,

I Never

Get It Back Anyway.

Hey, I Gave You Back

Your Lion King Video.

Yeah, And You

Borrowed It When

I Was 6 Years Old.

Oh, Yeah.

(Knocking At Door)

Samantha,

Your Mom's Here.

Thanks, Mrs. Thompson.

Mrs. Thompson:

Here They Are.

Oh, Great.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Sweetie.

Hold On A Second.

(Telephone Rings)

Tell Your Mom

Thanks For--

Hello.

Hey, Honey.

I, Uh, I Got Some Bad News.

The Roads Are A Mess.

Here's The One Day

I Can Finally Use

My 4-Wheel Drive,

And I Don't Know

How It Works.

Mrs. Thompson:
Ok, Bye-Bye.

(Telephone Bleeps Off)

Uh, Allie,

Honey, Joey.

That Was Your Dad,

And He Is Stuck

In San Francisco.

What?

Mrs. Thompson:

All The Flights

Are Cancelled.

Joey:
Tomorrow's Christmas Eve.

What If He Can't Get Out?

He Won't Be Here

For Christmas.

He Will.

Trust Me.

How Do You Know?

I Just Know.

I, Uh, Think

I Left My Hat

Up In Your Room.

Oh, Yeah.

We'll Be Right Back.

Allie:
It's Off.

Then Why Is It

Still Snowing?

Because It Takes

A While, Remember?

That Machine's Powerful.

Ya Think?!

Hey, I Didn't Know

The Signal Would Reach

All The Way

To San Francisco.

Well Guess What.

It Does.

That's Why

I Turned It Off, Ok?

Think I Don't

Want My Father

Home For Christmas?

I Mean, How Awful

Would That Be?

Can You Imagine

How Much We'd

All Miss Him?

Yeah,

I Think I Can.

Oh, Sam, I'm Sorry.

It's Ok.

Do You Want

To Talk About It?

It's Ok If You Don't,

But--

Look, My Dad Died

When I Was Only 3,

And I Barely

Remember Him.

So, How Can

You Miss Someone

You Don't Even

Remember? Right?

But Still,

I Shouldn't--

It's Just Weird

Around Christmas.

Mom Says This Was

His Favorite Time

Of The Year.

He'd Start Playing

Christmas Music

The Day After

Thanksgiving.

She Says

He Would Have

Kept Our Christmas

Decorations

Up All Year

If She Would

Have Let Him.

Parents Are So Corny.

My Mom Has

This Charm Bracelet,

That My Dad Gave Her

Their Very First

Christmas Together.

And Every Year,

He Gives Her

A New Charm For It.

And She Always Knows

She's Gonna Get It,

But She Still Acts

All Surprised And Gets

All Weepy And Emotional.

(Sighs)

I Have Got

To Fix This, Sam.

I Have To Do Something.

If My Family Misses

Christmas Because Of Me--

Sam's Mother:

Samantha, Have You

Found Your Hat?

Yeah, Mom.

Coming.

Look.

It Stopped.

Thank Goodness.

Hadley:
Here

In The Los Angeles Area,

A Mysterious Snowstorm

Finally Stopped

At Approximately

6 P.M. This Evening.

But That's

Small Consolation

To Jennifer Love Hewitt,

Who Slipped On A Patch Of Ice

In Burbank.

Aw...

Oh, Too Bad.

Ahem. Well, You Ever

Slip On A Patch Of Ice?

Ok. That's Everybody's

Schedule For Christmas Eve.

Now, If I Can Just

Shuffle Them Around

A Little Bit,

And We Can Spend

A Few More Hours

Together.

Allie:
Mom.

Can You Come Here?

Joey:
Ta-Da!

It's Our Substitute

Christmas Tree.

Just In Case Dad

Gets Home

Late Tomorrow Night

And We Don't Have Time

To Get A Real One.

Do You Like It?

I Love It.

You Guys.

Oh, And I Got

Something That's Gonna

Make It Even Better.

So, That's What

This Thing's For.

That's Why

They Call It

A Fireplace, Joey.

We Should Do This

More Often.

Are You Sure You've

Got Time For This?

You Make It Sound Like

I'm Always Working.

You Are.

You Are.

Especially

This Time

Of The Year.

Well,

It's My Busy Season.

You Know That.

But It'll Quiet Down

After New Year's.

Joey:
Mom, I Miss Dad.

Oh, I Do, Too,

But You Know

What?

He's Gonna

Be Home

Really Soon.

'Cause

The Storm's Over.

It's Over.

(Whirring And Buzzing)

(Yawns)

Ok, Bye.

Samantha?

Be Good Today.

And Be Sure

To Help Out

Mrs. Thompson

I Will.

Ok.

What's Going On?

I Don't Know.

It Turned Itself

Back On.

So, Turn It Off.

I Tried.

It Won't Do It.

Why Wouldn't It?

I Don't Know.

None Of The Buttons

Work Anymore.

Mrs. Thompson:

But, Linda, Listen.

Is There Any Way

You Can Stay Home Today?

No, We're Already

Understaffed,

And With The Storm,

The Whole Hospital's

On Emergency Alert.

The Road's Are Just

Gonna Be Awful.

I Know.

I'll Be Ok.

Thanks A Lot,

Michelle.

You Be Careful.

Ok. Good-Bye.

Ok.

Bye.

And Neither Will

Your Grandparents.

Well,

What About Dad?

Have You Heard

From Him?

Dad Is Stuck

In San Francisco,

And Everything

Is Shut Down.

Can't He

Rent A Car?

Oh, Sweetie,

The Roads Are Closed.

So, He Won't Be

Coming Home For

Christmas, Will He?

No, Honey.

No Fair!

I Hate The Snow.

I Wish

It Never Happened.

I Know. Me, Too.
