The Ultimate Gift Page #6

Well, I mean, is

is he in any danger?

I'm so sorry.

Neither love, nor hate thy life;

but what thou livest,

live well

however long or short

may the heavens permit.

Tell me about my father.

In many ways, he was

very similar to you

restless, rebellious,

angry.

I think Red

saw something in him

that he didn't see

in his other sons

a fire.

The same fire

he sees in you.

I still don't forgive you.

Amigo? Amigo,

are you here?

No, no, no! No! No, no!

Please, no! I can- I can pay you!

I have money! Please!

-Oh, God! God! Does anyone

understand what I'm saying?

Mueren. Mueren.

Muerte.

Death.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Shh.

Can you walk?

Save yourself.

Not on your life.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey. Oh. Mmm.

What are you

doing here?

I was scared to death.

Where's Emily?

Um, she's resting.

She'll see you tomorrow.

You guys have

a good Christmas?

We didn't have one.

How could we?

You know what? We're gonna have

a fantastic one next year.

I promise.

We won't have a next year.

The events of that day

playin my mind over and over and over again.

I'm so sorry.

If your father hadn't died

while working for me

Please give me

a chance to explain.

Ever since that day, my life

has been filled with grief.

It is apparent that you

will never forgive me.

I do not blame you for this.

It's also something

that I cannot do for myself.

I loved your father

so much.

A parent should never have

a child precede them in death.

It is the most painful

experience imaginable.

Uh

that's enough for today,

gentlemen.

Welcome back, stranger.

Hey.

Ta-da.

Here

Wow.

An airport gift shop gift.

How thoughtful.

Does it come

with needles?

Uh

Yeah, you can kiss me,

even though you're a guy.

I missed you too.

Whatever.

Let's cut to the chase.

You really blew it

with us this Christmas.

I was unavoidably detained.

Okay, yeah.

I want Christmas.

I want to ride a horse.

Oh, I got, like, a week or two

left with this other thing

but, um, let me make a call

and we'll see

Jason.

Now.

Okay.

-That works for me.

-Excuse me, sir. It's Jason on line two.

Oh, uh,

will you all excuse me?

I have to take this call.

Go ahead, Jason.

Mr Hamilton, look.

One way or another, this is over.

Either I was in South America

way too long

or I missed the deadline

or whatever

but what I'm about to do

is way more important.

And I know you have no reason

whatsoever to trust me

but I need to borrow

my grandfather's jet.

And I need it now.

I want to take Alexia and Emily to Gus's ranch

for a late Christmas.

Jason, do you know what you're doing?

Look, I have no control

Uh, what, um, Mr Hamilton

was saying was that, uh

he'll be sending along

Red's next gift on your Conversay.

You have your bags

packed within the hour

and, uh, he will

have the jet fueled

-and ready to go.

-Thank you.

This means so much to me.

And, Hamilton

I promise I'm gonna take back all those

nasty thoughts about you being the Grinch.

Thanks again. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Gus!

What is this?

Snow in Texas?

Had it trucked in.

Ho, ho, ho!

All right, Hector, hit it!

-Merry Christmas.

-Gus, this is Emily.

-Hi, Emily. Welcome.

-Alexia.

-Hi.

-Alexia, how ya doin'?

-And there he is.

-Hey.

I'll get your bags.

I see why you chose this place.

I wish I could take the credit.

Emily said her wish was to go

horseback riding with you.

What?

Emily

What? What's wrong?

She's

She's terrified of horses.

I'm the one who loves horses.

Oh, Jason, it's so beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, this is what I was tellin' you about.

-Pretty, huh?

-It's beautiful.

Hey, come here.

I wanna show you something.

Gonna be okay, sweetie?

Alexia

-there's something I need to do.

-What?

For Emily.

And now for me.

And Gus.

How about that?

When I achieved my dreams,

it was like going home

to a place

I'd never been before.

You don't know that feeling,

do you?

The first few gifts

I've given you have been practical.

Show up, do this, do that.

And then the gifts started

needing you to provide input.

They needed intuition.

Still, your average person

is too weighted down.

Jason, you need to be free,

free to dream.

You need to come up

with a dream, then act on it.

Jason, this is the time

for you to dream.

You thinkin' about butterflies?

No, Jason, I'm looking at the stars.

You know,

I set this whole thing up

because I thought you wanted

to go horseback riding

not your mom.

Get real. Horses are

smelly and sweaty.

So, sweetie,

what's your dream?

If you could dream

of anything anything

what would your dream be?

My dream?

My dream was

a perfect day.

And I'm just

finishing it.

My dream was to be

with people I love

who love each other,

that love me.

What about you, Jason?

What's your dream?

I don't know.

For as long as I can remember,

all I wanted to do was have fun.

Now I don't have a clue.

It's okay.

Guys are clueless.

Hey, you have to know this.

Even if you don't

have a dream of your own

you gave me mine.

-That counts for something.

-Mmm.

Of course.

Look at her.

Isn't she beautiful?

I mean, except for

her choice in lipstick.

But you have to admit

even if you got nothing

else out of the deal but her

you'd still be a huge winner.

Don't blow it. Knowing you,

you're likely to do it.

Merry Christmas, Jason.

Merry Christmas.

Up until now,

I have only existed.

I've, um

I've drifted through life

day to day

thinking that

that was enough.

And honestly, I don't know

if I have my own dream.

But I do know I can help

others fulfill theirs. I know it.

Jason, will you excuse us

for a few minutes?

Hamilton & Partners.

We've deliberated and evaluated

whether or not your answer

conforms with the expressed

desires of Red Stevens

and we find

that your answer does.

Therefore, we are releasing

an amount allocated for you at this time.

That is, uh

$100 million to do with

whatever you please.

All of us here at the firm

want to congratulate you, Jason

for sticking it out

putting up with some

very harsh conditions

and prevailing.

Congratulations, Jason.

So that's it?

Yes, I- I think so.

No, don't get me wrong.

It's not the amount.

It's, uh

It's just

I don't know.

I was

expecting a different

feeling or

something.

I think that's

because now you

are a diffferent person.

And, uh

And, no

we won't cash

that check for you.

Okay, so he is the best

architect in town. That's great.

Tell him I want a meeting with him

first thing Monday morning.

-

-And how much is that?

I want to tour that property

as soon as possible.

Oh, that's amazing. We'll have a meeting

at the bank in, let's say, what, a month?

-That would depend on how

many vehicles you were talking.

-I'm sorry. Can you hold on?

-Certainly.

-Yeah?

Mr Stevens, a- a young lady to see you.

-Great. Send her up.

-Okay.

-I'm sorry.

-Will it be a large number of

Yeah, there are gonna be

plenty of cars.

-Okay, we'll have to look into it and let you know.
