0:02:18 > 0:02:23# Oh, the most wonderful time

0:02:23 > 0:02:30# Of the year! #

0:02:30 > 0:02:34My firm has discovered two critical things.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38One - most Americans feel that Christmas is a time for family.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Two - most Americans feel that in order to stand

0:02:41 > 0:02:44being around their family for even one or two days,

0:02:44 > 0:02:48they need to swill as much alcohol as humanly possible. Now...

0:02:48 > 0:02:51I'd like you to meet the Noggertons.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55They're a classic American family - they're together on Christmas,

0:02:55 > 0:02:59they're fat free and they're 10% alcohol by volume. Enjoy our family

0:02:59 > 0:03:05- so you can enjoy your family. What do you think?- So you're suggesting

0:03:05 > 0:03:08we tell people that the only way to get through the holidays

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- is to drink spiked eggnog? - I'm suggesting we tell people

0:03:11 > 0:03:15the only way to get through the holidays is to buy YOUR fat-free,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18pre-spiked eggnog in a bottle.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Take care. All right. - It's all good.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- How do you do it?- I'm very excited. Looking forward to it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- It went pretty well, huh? - I'm a genius.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- I feel like I could sell whale steaks to Greenpeace!- Nice image(!)

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Here are your tickets to Fiji. - Ahhh!

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Missy, we've been dating for a while now and I feel

0:03:45 > 0:03:48we should take our relationship to the next level.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51- I have been hoping you would say that.- So I got you

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- a pre-Christmas Christmas gift.- Yeah? - I want you to open it now

0:03:55 > 0:03:58because...it involves our future...

0:03:58 > 0:04:01a future of you and me together.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04It's, er...it's kind of for both of us in that way.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11OK.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Tickets to Fiji? - Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- First class. - Drew, on Christmas?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Christmas is the family holiday!

0:04:25 > 0:04:29I mean, what are we doing?! What is this?! What is going on?!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Where is this relationship headed?!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Fiji!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- First class! - Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

0:04:37 > 0:04:39OK... here's an example

0:04:39 > 0:04:43of one of our problems - you've never introduced me to your family!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46You've never even mentioned your family!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48And how can you be serious about me

0:04:48 > 0:04:53if you're not serious about your own family?! You need help, Drew!

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I think you're missing the point. If I told you everything about me,

0:04:57 > 0:05:01there'd be nothing left to discover. When there's nothing left

0:05:01 > 0:05:03to discover, a relationship dies. You don't want

0:05:03 > 0:05:07- this relationship to die, do you? - It just did.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12C'mon! Don't be like that!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh, you're going to be like that?! Go ahead, go!

0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'm going to spend Christmas with my family.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20You can spend Christmas alone.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Missy...

0:05:32 > 0:05:34HE SIGHS

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Kathryn, I need you to, er...get, like, a Cartier bracelet

0:05:46 > 0:05:49to send to Missy. Something very expensive, a lot of diamonds,

0:05:49 > 0:05:52very flashy. Include a personal note from me.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- What do you want it to say? - You know, something very personal

0:05:56 > 0:05:59that shows the depth of my feelings, my emotions. You're good at that.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02OK, but it's not going to work.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07That's my man.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Ohhhh, Dougie! Doogan! Doog-ray! Douglas!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18It's Drew.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Drew Latham. Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, what's up, man?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Ah, nothin', nothin'! Er, hey, man, what are you doin' for Christmas?

0:06:27 > 0:06:32Family? Nice. Nice call. Er, you got room for one more?

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Well, I think we are that close.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42I love Jewish Christ... I'll light candles, spin the dreidel.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46It'll be great! A matzo-ball soup and baklava!

0:06:46 > 0:06:50All right, that's Greek, whatever, I'm just... You still there?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55No, I know you have a baby, I'm just saying, like, you know,

0:06:55 > 0:06:59what do they do? They just lie there and crap themselves, right?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02How interesting is that? No, I'm not saying anything bad,

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I'm just sayin'... Huh?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Well, maybe your wife doesn't have to come, man.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Maybe it's just me and you for Christmas, dude.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Would you mind if I came by to your house and spend Christmas?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22It's like, er... It'll be one or two, three days tops.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55HE SIGHS

0:08:11 > 0:08:15Ahhh! All right. Merry Christmas.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26OK, right over here. Right over here. Stay together. All real good.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- OK, you got... - Freeman! Doctor Freeman!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Thank God I found you! - Oh, please, sir! Sir!

0:08:32 > 0:08:35Dr Freeman, I've got to spend Christmas alone! I'm having a panic attack!

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- You got to help me! - Just one question. Who are you?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42I'm the boyfriend of one of your patients. Missy Vangilder.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Oh, you're Drew! You're Drew! - Yes.- Oh, God!

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- What does that mean?- Nothing. Forget it. So, how did you find me?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52I bribed a woman at your service. Tell her to raise her standards

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- or you got to fire her. She caved for 200 bucks.- Whatever.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I just need a few minutes of your time.- Backpacks on the belt.

0:08:59 > 0:09:04- You got to help me out! I don't want to spend Christmas alone!- Please!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Sir, teddy bear on the belt. - Can't she walk it through?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- She's got to put the bear on the belt.- It's a puppy!

0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Put Tutu on the belt and she'll go for a ride.- My Tutu!

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I need one second.- If you could just, please! Give me the puppy.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Step through. - You're abusing your child.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Sir.- CAN'T YOU SEE I'VE GOT MY OWN PROBLEMS?!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Whoa! Whoa, now! - I'm sorry. I am so sorry.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31OK. OK. Hey, I know,

0:09:31 > 0:09:34erm,... I heard it on the radio once, best I can do. All right.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Write down all your grievances about your family.- All your grievances.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Go someplace that reminds you, er, of your childhood at sunset

0:09:42 > 0:09:46and light the paper and as the last shred of paper is burning away,

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- you whisper the words,... "I forgive you."- I forgive you?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Mm-hm.- And it burns up. - That's it.- I like it!

0:09:53 > 0:09:59- Oh, thanks so much, man! Have a good vaca!- OK. Where's my daughter?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Sir? - Oh, there she is!

0:10:38 > 0:10:43- That's it! That's the house I grew up in!- How's the 72.50 comin'?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Good. It's comin' good.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Keep the meter running.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Almost out of salami. - No(!)

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Well, thank you for telling me. - I don't want to run out, that's all.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- God forbid.- Did Brian eat? - I dunno.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Brian, get down here and eat your dinner!- I'm not hungry!

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Yeah, you are! - Stop yelling at me.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm not yelling at you.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46We shouldn't have put the computer in his room.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- He's going to spend all his time there.- Tom, he's advancing his skills.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53One day that computer is going to get our baby a good job.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06cos if they did, I would've retired at 17.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- What?- There's a guy out there. - Who the hell is that?

0:12:26 > 0:12:29All right, alone on Christmas. I can do this.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35I'm going to rid myself of all my grievances. Be gone, grievances.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41What the...?

0:13:15 > 0:13:19He shouldn't have been burning crap in my yard.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Is he still breathing?

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Dear God, you've killed the man!

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Oh, no, no, no, that won't be necessary!

0:13:48 > 0:13:52I was just outside burning, er... Someone told me to burn a list

0:13:52 > 0:13:55of my grievances outside of the home of my birth

0:13:55 > 0:13:58to help me with some loneliness issues. It's fine.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Kitchen's closed. - Awww!

0:15:38 > 0:15:42- I got things to do.- Oh, boy! - Tom, why don't you see the man out?

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- I didn't want to let him in. I'll call you a cab.- Is that necessary?

0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Er, yeah, it is, yeah. - You know, man, I got to tell ya,

0:15:50 > 0:15:53all these years I've been kind of avoiding Christmas

0:15:57 > 0:16:02a real family, you know, in a true home. That's why I'm thinkin'

0:17:14 > 0:17:17And you agreed to this without asking me?

0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Of course I did, he's giving us 250,000.- And how would you like it

0:17:22 > 0:17:25- if I agreed to this without asking you?- That would depend.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14celebrations, various and sundry merriments and yuletide glee.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Agreed! - Agreed, right?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Fakin' it anyway, might as well get paid.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Will there be anything else?- Oh, yeah! I got to sleep in Brian's room.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27What? No. Where is this goin' here?

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- It's nine in the mornin'.- I know, it's not really breakfast food,

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- but it was lookin' good in the fridge.- Yeah, it is good.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, Drew?

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Would you, er, do me a kindness? Put this hat on.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12My dad always used to wear a Santa hat

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- when we went Christmas-tree shopping. - CHUCKLING: In public?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Yeah.- That would be no. And in private that would be no, too.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Please wear the hat. - No, I'm not wearing that hat.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Tom...you got to wear the hat. - I'm not wearing the hat.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Wear the hat, Tom.- I'm not wearing the hat. Get it away from me

0:21:32 > 0:21:35before I shove it up your ass!

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Tom, are you familiar with the phrase "breach of contract"?

0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Yep, this is it. This is the one. - OK.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19You're good. Excuse me, folks. Dad, you want to lift that up,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22have a little respect for the tree or...? No?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50You got it! You got it! Nice one.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53All right, I think it's good. I think it's good like that.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Whoo! Christmas time.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- How does it look? - Like it could trigger a seizure.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- I know. Wait till you see it lit up. - I thought it was lit up.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13Oh, no, no! We got to sing Christmas Tree first. Tom, you take the lead.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- You want me to sing? - Yeah.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Do I have to? - Yeah.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Would it make any difference to you if I didn't want to?- Not really.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Go on.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14# Ahhhhhhhhhh! # That was great!

0:24:14 > 0:24:18- That was really good. - Yeah, it was... Yeah.- All right.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36Yeah. Who are you?

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Erm, who are you? - Alicia!

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Hey, Mom.- Yay! - Hi. Who is this?

0:24:42 > 0:24:46- Mom, who is this? - OK, what is going on?

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Your dad's rented us out for the holidays to this millionaire.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Christine, since when do you have a daughter?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- It's her terrible secret(!) - This is going to ruin everything!

0:24:55 > 0:24:59- The whole bit doesn't work! I... - You know what? Erm... Ssh!

0:24:59 > 0:25:04- Will somebody just say something that makes some sense?- Well, every year round Christmas I get...

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- No, no, no, no! You, stop talking. Mom?- Drew wants...

0:25:07 > 0:25:11- a family Christmas, so we're going to be his family.- That's insane.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Tell me about it! I never had a sister, so this is bullshit.- OK.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- You are my illegitimate love child...- Mom!

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- ..and you had no idea about her. - Or she could be the maid!

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- OK! Enough! - Hey, my baby's home!

0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Hi, Daddy.- How are ya, Lici? - Hi.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30I'm good. You've obviously lost your mind.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34- Can I talk to you in the dining room?- You knew about this?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36- You stay away from my daughter. - Mom...

0:25:36 > 0:25:40- this guy is obviously crazy... - I know.- ..so I'm going to go upstairs

0:25:40 > 0:25:44and when I wake up in the morning, he's going to be gone. Right?

0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Maybe.- Cos, you know, I'm not going to be a good sport about this.

0:25:48 > 0:25:53- Oh, darling, we would never expect you to be!- Thanks.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56< C'mon, Mom, it's tree time!

0:26:00 > 0:26:04Okey-dokey. All right, we're back on track!

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Yeah.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13OK...here we go!

0:26:13 > 0:26:16One! Two! Three!

0:26:18 > 0:26:23- Now it feels like Christmas. - I can smell my eyeballs burning.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Brian, it's very important, don't look directly at the tree.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Brian!- What?! - Wake up! It's your brother, kind of!

0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's snowing outside! It's snow day!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Why the hell are you waking me up?!

0:26:44 > 0:26:49- I don't want you to miss the fun, man!- What fun?

0:26:49 > 0:26:54Ohhhh! Facial! Ice ball! Whoo! Look out!

0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Oooooooooh! Right in the nuts!- I can't feel my toes.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03- Here he comes! The look of vengeance! Eye of the tiger!- Ugh!

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Oh! Oh! Now he's getting furious! Whoo! Whoo!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Whoo!

0:27:12 > 0:27:16- What's up, Tom? - Brian, go inside.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20- See you later, Bri! It was fun. - You like throwing snowballs?

0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Ah, I was just having a good time, you know?- Yeah.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Throw one at me.- Ah, it's cool! It's all right. Don't worry about it.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- We're kind of finished now. - C'mon! Like you said, it'll be fun.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36- It's gettin' a little chilly, it's all right.- C'mon, throw it.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41All right, I'll throw one. I'll throw one.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Good one.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Now it's my turn.

0:27:54 > 0:27:55SCREAMS: No!

0:27:58 > 0:28:02That was great. Any time you want to do that again, you let me know.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- We said no ice balls, man. - Did we?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Morning, Mom. Freak.

0:28:11 > 0:28:17You know what? We may have gotten off on the wrong track the other day.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20- We should just start over. - Here you go.- Aw, thanks, Mom!

0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Mmmm... - Problem?

0:28:22 > 0:28:26Yeah, my real mom puts marshmallows in the hot chocolate.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29You know what I was thinking? If you don't want to play my sister,

0:28:29 > 0:28:34maybe you could be, like, a mysterious Ecuadorean cleaning lady.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38Or a Swedish cleaning lady. I think cleaning lady is good.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Oh! Mmmm... - What?!

0:28:40 > 0:28:44My real mom used the mini marshmallows. Sorry.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Speaking of your real mom, why aren't you annoying the hell out of

0:28:47 > 0:28:51- your own family?- That's not really your business, is it, Consuela?

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Ho, ho, ho!

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Alrighty! Welcome, everyone.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09- There you are.- What is this? - These are what we in the business

0:29:09 > 0:29:13- call scripts, Tom.- Excuse me? - You don't have to worry about it

0:29:13 > 0:29:16- because your role is what we call small.- Er, well, you're what

0:29:16 > 0:29:20- we in real life call a jackass. - I don't know about that

0:29:20 > 0:29:22but I do know that my being here

0:29:22 > 0:29:25- may have caused some awkwardness within the family.- You think(?)

0:29:25 > 0:29:29I do, Tom, seriously, and it's even possible that some of it could,

0:29:29 > 0:29:33er, potentially be in some small way partly my fault.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37- Which part wasn't your fault?- Ah, bop, bop, bop, bop! I'm talking, OK?

0:29:37 > 0:29:41So what I've done is I went ahead and wrote a sequence

0:29:41 > 0:29:44so you guys can get a sense of what I'm goin' for here.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48- We're all going to read this aloud. - I feel like I'm insane.- And...

0:29:48 > 0:29:52- that's why you have no lines. Mom, I believe you go first.- OK.

0:29:52 > 0:29:57"Oh, look at us! I sure hope you like the meal

0:29:57 > 0:30:00"I so lovingly prepared for the people I love.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02"She smiles at Tom." No...

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Have you acted? You've acted before. - A little theatre.- Yeah.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- I can tell. I can see it. - You were in Pippin in high school.

0:30:12 > 0:30:17- You played wind. - Tom, you have the next line.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Er... "Say thank you to your mother for all her hard work

0:30:21 > 0:30:24- cooking this meal for us." - "Thank you."

0:30:24 > 0:30:28- "Oh, I don't work nearly as hard as you, dear!"- That's true.

0:30:28 > 0:30:33- Tom, let's stay on book, please. Brian, go ahead! - "Gee, Mom,

0:30:33 > 0:30:35"I love you like the dickens. Should we pray?"

0:30:35 > 0:30:40Gee, Beav, do you think Wally's going to give ya the business?

0:30:40 > 0:30:45Oh, there you are, Consuela! Five waters for everyone, please.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47Gracias.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Er, Brian, you were about to say grace.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54- "Dear God..." - Brian, we hold hands in this family at grace.

0:30:57 > 0:31:02"Dear God, thank you for this meal. Thank you for blessing us

0:31:02 > 0:31:06"with a family. Not everyone has a nice family and also we, O Lord,

0:31:06 > 0:31:09"are so lucky to have Drew in our lives."

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Amen.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16"An emotional moment." Sorry, I keep doing that.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19"Brian, if you eat it all up,

0:31:19 > 0:31:22"I will let you sleep with me like I never did when you were little."

0:31:25 > 0:31:27An awkward moment.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Skip ahead! That doesn't work! That's not supposed to be in there!

0:31:31 > 0:31:34What does this mean? "Doo-Dah enters in his bathrobe."

0:31:34 > 0:31:38Sweet Jim Jiminy! Cold corn in the mornin'!

0:31:38 > 0:31:43- Whoo-hoo! This weather is killin' my joints!- Brian, go get the shovel.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Oh, no, no, no! Listen! When Alicia came, she ruined everything.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50- Because everything was so normal up until that point(?)- Silencio.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54So what I had to do was expand the family to get my real family -

0:31:54 > 0:31:58I had to find my grandpa! So I went and found my doo-dah! Here he is!

0:31:58 > 0:32:02Your doo-dah looks exactly like the guy we saw in Christmas Carol -

0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Scrooge.- I do a lot of community theatre. This Christmas night

0:32:05 > 0:32:09I'm reprising my role as Scrooge in the Lincoln Wood

0:32:09 > 0:32:12theatre group's production of A Christmas Carol.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16- I hope you can make it. - Please stay in character, Saul, OK? "Doo-Dah,

0:32:16 > 0:32:20"I'm so glad that you came here and you're going to stay for the holidays!"

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Whoa, whoa, whoa! No, he's not! I agreed to let YOU in the house,

0:32:23 > 0:32:25- not Doo-Doo over here! - Doo-Dah.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35How ya doin', er, Doo-Dah? You can stay in the living room.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- No, no, Dad, I'm sleeping in the living room.- Not any more.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57- Is it the hat?! Don't worry about the hat! Forget it!- No, it's not you!

0:35:57 > 0:36:01It's nothin' to do with you! It's been goin' on for a long time!

0:36:01 > 0:36:06It's not workin' out. We were going to wait till after the holidays

0:36:06 > 0:36:09to tell the kids and, you know, with you here

0:36:09 > 0:36:13- with your Christmas-cheer crap, it's makin' it worse.- Tom, first of all,

0:36:13 > 0:36:16I want to reward you for openin' up with a big thank you

0:36:16 > 0:36:19cos that deserves some credit. Second of all,

0:36:19 > 0:36:23let me tell you what you need to do. If I was you, coming into some money,

0:36:23 > 0:36:25I'd do somethin' you always wanted!

0:36:25 > 0:36:29- Somethin' for Tom that makes you happy!- I want the money,

0:36:29 > 0:36:35- I really do. It's Christine, she... - Let me worry about Christine, OK?

0:36:35 > 0:36:41I'll worry about Christine, you worry about Tom cos it's Tom time.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Are, er, are you all right? - Uh-huh.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Are you sure? Cos you just put a bra in Brian's sock drawer.- Oh.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01That's your brother - 15, likes to experiment. We still love him.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Look, Christine,

0:37:04 > 0:37:07I know about what's going on with you and Tom

0:37:07 > 0:37:10and, first of all, I just want to say that, er,

0:37:10 > 0:37:13I'm feelin' a little ripped off here, you know,

0:37:13 > 0:37:15cos I thought I was gettin' a real family.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19Well, it's time you grew up and faced facts, then, isn't it?

0:37:19 > 0:37:22Mommies and daddies fall in love, make babies, pay bills,

0:37:22 > 0:37:25get mad and stop touching each other!

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Er, second of all, I was thinking maybe I could do something

0:37:32 > 0:37:36to make you feel better. How about just me and you go shoppin'?

0:37:36 > 0:37:40- For what?- I dunno. Let's go shoppin'! You know what I mean?

0:37:40 > 0:37:43It's fun just to buy shit sometimes! Listen to me. I know

0:37:43 > 0:37:46all the best make-up and hair people.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56You don't see what a beautiful woman you are.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00You have grace and kindness and...sensuality

0:38:00 > 0:38:03and this incredibly striking,

0:38:03 > 0:38:06kind of, offbeat beauty that's... You look in the mirror

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Oh, I'm sorry, Drew, have I been sending you mixed signals?!

0:38:50 > 0:38:54I just thought maybe instead of sitting around the house

0:38:54 > 0:38:57hating me all day, you might actually like to have some fun.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59No, thanks.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04Ahhh, I see! I get it. You're afraid of fun.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07- You don't like having fun. - What does that even mean,

0:39:07 > 0:39:11"I don't like fun"? Of course I like fun. Everybody likes fun,

0:39:11 > 0:39:16- it's fun.- All right, so, then, why won't you go with me?

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Because it would be with you. - You know what I think?

0:39:19 > 0:39:23I think you're afraid that you will go and you will actually have fun

0:39:23 > 0:39:26and you might even enjoy yourself a little bit

0:39:26 > 0:39:30- and you'd be with me and, then, what would that say about you?!- Really?

0:39:30 > 0:39:34- Mm-hm. - Let's go.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18- That was crazy(!) - It was obviously scarier...

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Can we go home now? - ..when I was younger. No!

0:42:21 > 0:42:25We are going to risk permanent paralysis or going to die trying!

0:42:54 > 0:42:58- See you at the chopper. - Wow! Never thought I'd see the day

0:42:58 > 0:43:01that taunt would lose its power. What about you? A little chick?

0:43:01 > 0:43:05No, actually, er, a part of me thinks that it's incredibly stupid

0:43:05 > 0:43:09and the other part of me is in wholehearted agreement.

0:43:09 > 0:43:12- That means you're chicken.- You know what I think? I think that you

0:43:12 > 0:43:15had no intention of going down this hill. I think

0:43:15 > 0:43:19that you knew that we wouldn't go down it. I think

0:43:19 > 0:43:23- you were showin' off, that's what I think.- You think I'm chicken?

0:43:23 > 0:43:27- Mm-hm.- You think I'm chicken? I'm going to give a little clue here, OK?

0:43:29 > 0:43:32You think I'm chicken? I'll show you who's chicken.

0:46:11 > 0:46:13Maybe this'll help.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20Yeah, I remember.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40- So, what's your deal, anyway? - My deal?

0:46:40 > 0:46:43Sometimes you have these moments of lucidity,

0:46:43 > 0:46:49but then other times just...not so much...normal.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53I don't understand. I mean... I don't want to be alone on Christmas.

0:46:53 > 0:46:56When you're alone on Christmas it's not like being alone,

0:46:56 > 0:47:00- it's alone alone.- This wouldn't be one of those lucid moments.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03- I wasn't goin' for that. - Oh, OK. I see.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05All right, little Miss Grinch,

0:47:05 > 0:47:08I know you're a sophisticated, modern woman

0:47:08 > 0:47:12that's very jaded, nothing gets to you and you have no emotions,

0:47:12 > 0:47:17but I would be willing to bet that even you, before you got old-...

0:47:17 > 0:47:21-er than you are now but still as young and attractive

0:47:21 > 0:47:25- and smart and beautiful how you are now...- That's better.

0:47:25 > 0:47:29I don't know, like... some...moment in your childhood

0:47:29 > 0:47:32before everything got complicated, when you were happy.

0:47:32 > 0:47:36I know you must have some moment in your life that you'd like to relive.

0:47:39 > 0:47:41Yeah.

0:47:41 > 0:47:46Once...I was... I was, like, nine years old

0:47:46 > 0:47:50and we had just had this ice storm

0:47:50 > 0:47:54and I was walking home from school through Bishop Park

0:47:54 > 0:47:58and you know that one big oak tree in the middle?

0:47:58 > 0:48:02It was completely frozen and all the branches were just icicles.

0:48:02 > 0:48:05It was just...it was... it was incredible.

0:48:05 > 0:48:08It completely stopped me in my tracks.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11I just remember standing underneath it,

0:48:11 > 0:48:15pretending that I was a princess in a magical crystal palace.

0:48:15 > 0:48:17It was really...

1:01:45 > 1:01:49She just showed up and she wanted to meet my family

1:02:29 > 1:02:32Maybe they're right.

1:02:33 > 1:02:38Your tree, Christine, it's so colourful. It reminds me of Mexico.

1:02:38 > 1:02:42Not the better hotels but the colours of the simple people.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44I mean, it's so bright and vulgar.

1:02:44 > 1:02:46CHRISTINE LAUGHS

1:03:17 > 1:03:20- What is the matter with you?! - I'm sorry?

1:03:20 > 1:03:23- Drew, I'm not fat. - No. I was just thinking that...

1:03:23 > 1:03:27- You must be Mr Vangilder. - I wouldn't say that.- Don't mind us,

1:03:27 > 1:03:31- we're just a bunch of kidders. - Hi. I like the family.- Oh, well,

1:03:31 > 1:03:35you obviously haven't met Brian. By the way, where is Brian?

1:03:46 > 1:03:50I think your mom's startin' to like your grandfather hittin' on her.

1:03:50 > 1:03:53There's a sentence you don't often hear on Christmas Eve.

1:03:53 > 1:03:57It's unbelievable! Poor thing.

1:03:57 > 1:04:01- Excuse me.- It's true. - What's happening over here?

1:04:01 > 1:04:04- What's going on? - Oh, I am learning so much about you!

1:04:04 > 1:04:07- Oh, you are?! Great!- I didn't know you were a baton twirler.

1:04:07 > 1:04:12- Yeah. Gave away the big secret, I guess, didn't you?- Not the big one,

1:04:12 > 1:04:15- so don't push me. - Well, let's go talk to Doo-Dah!

1:04:15 > 1:04:20- I want you to see the Cartier bracelet Drew got me.- Cartier, huh?

1:04:20 > 1:04:23Wow! Look at that. That's just beautiful. Wow!

1:04:23 > 1:04:27That's my brother - never afraid to put a price tag on his feelings.

1:04:27 > 1:04:30That's my sister - never understanding love

1:04:30 > 1:04:34and that you can care about somebody and want to show it in a big way

1:04:34 > 1:04:38- and that you shouldn't be put down for that!- But when you love somebody

1:04:38 > 1:04:42- you don't have to show it in a big way.- So were you slumming it

1:04:42 > 1:04:45when you were makin' out with me in the kitchen?!

1:04:50 > 1:04:54It's a very...a very affectionate family. We show our love.

1:04:54 > 1:04:59- Italians. We're just very warm. - Red-hot, even.

1:04:59 > 1:05:03All right, that's it! Gimme this! Get up! Sit down!

1:05:03 > 1:05:06OK, who wants a tour of the house?

1:05:06 > 1:05:09Now, what you're using right now are the stairs.

1:05:09 > 1:05:14We like these for going up. Er, this is the bathroom...

1:05:14 > 1:05:16(What are you doing to me?!)

1:05:16 > 1:05:20- (What?!)- (You're killing me!) - (I'm just playing along, brother!)

1:05:20 > 1:05:23- (You know what you're doing!) - (Missy likes me.)

1:05:23 > 1:05:27- And this was little Drew's room, now it's Brian's.- Awww!

1:05:27 > 1:05:30Brian, don't be rude. We have guests.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33He would live up here in front of this screen if we let him.

1:05:33 > 1:05:37I guess it's that insatiable appetite for knowledge. Oh, shit!

1:05:37 > 1:05:41Brian, what have you done?! Tom, I don't know what that is.

1:05:41 > 1:05:45I do. It's my wife on my son's computer shooting a V for victory

1:05:45 > 1:05:48- with her legs.- It's been a while but that's what it looks like.

1:05:48 > 1:05:51- LETITIA: Honestly! - That's my little girl!

1:05:51 > 1:05:56- Get our coats!- What's going on? - Missy, get your coat!

1:05:56 > 1:05:59- There's ham! - We're not going! We're staying!

1:05:59 > 1:06:03Lighten up! I had some pictures taken just for me!

1:06:03 > 1:06:06Where would you get a stupid idea like that?!

1:06:08 > 1:06:12Coats! Someone said coats! Get the coats! Got to get the coats!

1:06:13 > 1:06:16SHE GASPS

1:06:22 > 1:06:26- Some things cannot be...unseen. - Brian?

1:06:26 > 1:06:30- Brian? - Great(!) Just great, Christine(!)

1:06:35 > 1:06:37I'll be at the Travelodge.

1:06:39 > 1:06:41HE SLAMS DOOR

1:06:45 > 1:06:48- Merry Christmas. - Mom?

1:06:48 > 1:06:51- Mom? - LETITIA: Oh, dear God!

1:06:51 > 1:06:54Er, wait! There's more of Mom's Christmas buffet!

1:06:54 > 1:06:57If you think we're staying after that, think again!

1:06:57 > 1:07:01Trollops who pose for dirty pictures and various incestuous overtones

1:07:01 > 1:07:06and old...unexplained men! This is, without a doubt,

1:07:06 > 1:07:11- the WORST Christmas that I... - Oh, shut up, Letitia!

1:07:11 > 1:07:15- What?- I've put up with your high-and-mighty act for 25 years

1:07:15 > 1:07:19but these people don't have to! I don't remember you being so superior

1:07:19 > 1:07:22back when you got yourself knocked up by Skippy Altsheller

1:07:22 > 1:07:26- and then tricked me into marrying you!- Oh, my God!

1:07:26 > 1:07:31- I'm sorry, Missy. - Missy, darling, it's not true!

1:07:31 > 1:07:35- Er, you were, you were premature! - Oh, c'mon, Letitia!

1:07:35 > 1:07:39Tell your mother thanks, Drew, and, er...merry Christmas.

1:07:41 > 1:07:45Missy, we'll wait for you in the car. You know, really.

1:07:48 > 1:07:53- Yuletide's a bitch, ain't it? - Oh, shut up! Just shut up!

1:07:53 > 1:07:56OK, Fiji! Let's go to Fiji right now!

1:07:56 > 1:08:00You were right, Drew - just screw family, all we need is each other!

1:08:00 > 1:08:02Just take me away!

1:08:02 > 1:08:03HE SIGHS

1:08:03 > 1:08:06I'm sorry, Missy, I can't.

1:08:06 > 1:08:10Just go home, OK? I'm sorry about all this.

1:08:10 > 1:08:13I'll spend Christmas alone.

1:08:17 > 1:08:20Fine.

1:08:20 > 1:08:23OK.

1:08:24 > 1:08:26Well, then...the only thing

1:08:26 > 1:08:30I have left to say to you... is I am keeping this bracelet!

1:08:34 > 1:08:39I feel bad drinking liquor you're going to need. I better go.

1:08:39 > 1:08:42- Merry Christmas. - All right.

1:08:43 > 1:08:46Missy, get in the car! My God!

1:08:46 > 1:08:48SHE CONTINUES SHOUTING

1:09:00 > 1:09:04You know, I have to ask. Just how bad is your real family

1:09:04 > 1:09:07that you would rather spend your Christmas like this?

1:09:11 > 1:09:14Er...

1:09:17 > 1:09:19..there was no...

1:09:19 > 1:09:21real family.

1:09:21 > 1:09:25What do you mean "There is no family"?

1:09:25 > 1:09:27C'mon, you must have had a family.

1:09:27 > 1:09:31- I mean, you must have had a Doo-Dah, right?- Er, I had a friend

1:09:31 > 1:09:34whose grandfather, you know, was called Doo-Dah.

1:09:34 > 1:09:36I always kind of liked that.

1:09:37 > 1:09:43My dad, er...walked out on us on Christmas when I was four.

1:09:43 > 1:09:48It was basically just me and my mom. She was a waitress

1:09:48 > 1:09:53at, er, the 24-hour coffee shop and she didn't have a lot of money,

1:09:53 > 1:09:57so...when Christmas came around, it was an opportunity for her

1:09:57 > 1:10:02to take a double shift. She did...and, erm...

1:10:03 > 1:10:06..you know, my Christmases were, basically, I just kind of

1:10:06 > 1:10:11sat around the house, you know? And then at night I'd walk down there

1:10:11 > 1:10:14and Mom would always buy me a grown-up stack of pancakes...

1:10:16 > 1:10:19..er, and I would, er, sit by myself at the end of the counter

1:10:19 > 1:10:23and eat 'em. And, er, I did that for Christmas, er, every year

1:10:23 > 1:10:25till I turned 18.

1:10:25 > 1:10:29I haven't been able to walk into a coffee shop since, though.

1:10:29 > 1:10:33- Where's your mom now? - My mom died when I was in college.

1:10:35 > 1:10:37I'm sorry.

1:10:39 > 1:10:42You know what, Drew? There's nothing that you can do

1:10:42 > 1:10:46about those Christmases but the one that you can do something about,

1:10:46 > 1:10:49the one that's here and now, you just spent that

1:10:49 > 1:10:54- destroying my family. - Alicia, look, just for the record,

1:10:54 > 1:10:56I didn't destroy your family.

1:10:56 > 1:11:01- What are you talking about? - Your parents are splitting up.

1:11:01 > 1:11:04It's obvious. Brian knows it, that's why he spends all his time

1:11:04 > 1:11:07in his room on his computer.

1:11:07 > 1:11:11You just didn't want to see it and I can understand that.

1:11:11 > 1:11:15I'm going to go get my dad. Lock up when you leave.

1:11:37 > 1:11:39Well...all right.

1:12:15 > 1:12:17I forgive you.

1:12:29 > 1:12:31HE SIGHS

1:13:33 > 1:13:35LIGHTNING CRACKS

1:13:35 > 1:13:38No! No, Spirit! No! I will honour Christmas

1:13:38 > 1:13:41in my heart and try to keep it all the year!

1:13:41 > 1:13:43KNOCK AT DOOR

1:13:43 > 1:13:45No-one's home!

1:13:45 > 1:13:46KNOCKING CONTINUES

1:13:46 > 1:13:48HE GROANS

1:13:50 > 1:13:51KNOCKING CONTINUES

1:13:51 > 1:13:53What?! I hear you!

1:13:57 > 1:14:00- Are you going to hit me?- No. - Are you going to

1:14:00 > 1:14:04- do something else to me that's not hitting but still hurts?- No.

1:14:04 > 1:14:08- Are you going to invite me in? - Really? You just stopped by to hang out,

1:14:08 > 1:14:13- catch up, reminisce? - You owe me money.

1:14:13 > 1:14:16Right. The money. Yeah.

1:14:16 > 1:14:18OK, c'mon in. I'll get my chequebook.

1:14:31 > 1:14:34You rented my place when you could've been stayin' here?

1:14:39 > 1:14:42- Well, I got to admit, this is nice. - Thanks.

1:14:44 > 1:14:47You still splittin' up with Christine?

1:14:47 > 1:14:52- Yeah, I...I guess. - That would be a shame.

1:14:53 > 1:14:56DREW CHUCKLES

1:14:56 > 1:14:59- What are you laughin' at? - Nothin'.

1:14:59 > 1:15:03I mean, it's...it's kind of ironic - I paid all that money

1:15:03 > 1:15:07to be part of your family and you're giving it away for nothin'.

1:15:09 > 1:15:13Look at this. That's the ticket to Doo-Dah's play.

1:15:13 > 1:15:15Yeah, I got mine, too.

1:15:24 > 1:15:27I'm not very good at apologisin'. I don't even know

1:15:27 > 1:15:31- if they're in there.- C'mon, Tom, what do you have to lose?

1:15:34 > 1:15:39- What do you want with me?! - Much!- Who are you?!

1:15:39 > 1:15:43- In life I was your partner... - (See anybody?)

1:15:43 > 1:15:47- (That's Doo-Dah right there.) - What is the reason for this visit?!

1:15:47 > 1:15:51- It is getting late and I've been hard at work!- (He's not that bad.)

1:15:51 > 1:15:55- To warn you, Ebenezer Scrooge... - (He's not that good, either.)

1:15:55 > 1:15:58- (I'm going to find Christine.) - Learn from me!

1:16:00 > 1:16:05My spirit never walked beyond our counting house,

1:16:05 > 1:16:11it never roved beyond our money-changing hole.

1:16:11 > 1:16:16So I am condemned to wander through the world

1:16:16 > 1:16:19to see what I might have shared on earth,

1:16:19 > 1:16:22then turned to happiness.

1:16:24 > 1:16:29- (What are you doin' here?)- You were always a good businessman.

1:16:29 > 1:16:31(Doo-Dah's family, right?)

1:16:33 > 1:16:36(Brian, move over.)

1:16:36 > 1:16:39(No, man, go find one of the other empty seats.)

1:16:39 > 1:16:42(Move over, Brian. C'mon.)

1:16:47 > 1:16:50- (Where's your sister?) - BOTH: (Ssh!)

1:16:51 > 1:16:54- Dear brother! - Fanny!

1:16:54 > 1:16:56(Christine, I...)

1:16:59 > 1:17:02(If I were to leave, I wouldn't even know where to go.)

1:17:02 > 1:17:05(Then, why leave?)

1:17:05 > 1:17:09- (That's what I'm sayin' - I don't want to leave.)- (Then, don't.)

1:17:12 > 1:17:15- (All right, I won't, then.) - (OK.)

1:17:17 > 1:17:20- (Is that all right?) - (Yeah.)

1:17:20 > 1:17:23(It's good.)

1:17:29 > 1:17:34(Hey, Bri...that girl's, er... She's kind of cute for you.)

1:17:34 > 1:17:37- (Talk to her.)- (Stop it.) - (Talk to her.)- (Stop it.)

1:17:37 > 1:17:40- (I saw you looking at her, Bri.) - (Would you please stop it?)

1:17:40 > 1:17:42(I can hear you.)

1:17:42 > 1:17:44DREW CHUCKLES

1:17:45 > 1:17:49(That's embarrassing. That's our grandfather up there.)

1:17:49 > 1:17:52(This is Brian. Brian, you're all set.)

1:17:55 > 1:17:57HE CLEARS THROAT

1:17:57 > 1:18:00(I'm sorry.)

1:18:00 > 1:18:03(Is that your brother?)

1:18:03 > 1:18:06(Yeah.)

1:18:06 > 1:18:10- How do we travel exactly? - Through the air!

1:18:10 > 1:18:13- We fly!- Not so hard! Wedgie!

1:18:13 > 1:18:16- AUDIENCE LAUGHS - Wedgie!

1:18:35 > 1:18:37Alicia?

1:18:37 > 1:18:40- Hey. - Hey.

1:18:40 > 1:18:43Were you, er...in there the whole time?

1:18:43 > 1:18:47- No, I was just here to pick up my mom.- Oh.

1:18:47 > 1:18:50She's in there, er... with your dad, actually.

1:18:50 > 1:18:54They're...they're kind of makin' out in the third row.

1:18:54 > 1:18:57- Really? - Yeah.

1:18:58 > 1:19:00- That's good. - Look...

1:19:00 > 1:19:04..I don't expect you to want to talk to me or anything,

1:19:04 > 1:19:08so I'm not going to call you and bother you and give you a hard time

1:19:08 > 1:19:12and...camp outside your place and stalk you, you know,

1:19:12 > 1:19:17but I do want to say that I'm sorry for...what I put you through
