JEEZ, ANG, IT'S SALAMI, NOT A ROLEX.
HERE, MRS. FIORELLA.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT YOU ORDERED: TWO POUNDS OF SALAMI.
[scoffs, muttering]
OH, I'LL WRAP THAT, UNCLE DONNY.
HEY--
BROWN PAPER AND TAPE, ANG?
[scoffs] NEVER MIND.
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
WHO'S NEXT?
HI.
HELLO, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
WELL...HOW ABOUT YOUR NAME, FOR STARTERS?
IT'S ANGELA.
HELLO, ANGELA.
HI.
MAX.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE, MAX?
JUST ONE SECOND. I'D LIKE TO ORDER ONE OF YOUR WORLD-FAMOUS LASAGNAS.
IT'S HER MOTHER'S RECIPE.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YEAH, THEY'RE ALL INCREDIBLE COOKS.
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, YOU'LL EAT LIKE A KING.
CLAIRE!
WHAT? WHAT DID I SAY?
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR LASAGNA ORDER
WITH THE LADY AT THE REGISTER.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
BUT I-- NEXT!
YOU'RE WORSE THAN MY MOTHER.
WHAT, HE'S A CATCH! LOOK AT HIM.
A CATCH?
MY PARENTS STOCK OUR APARTMENT BUILDING
LIKE A SINGLE-GUY FISH POND.
SO? THEY'RE TRYING TO HELP.
I'LL PICK MY OWN BOYFRIENDS, THANK YOU.
YEAH?
WELL I'M GONNA DO SOME PICKING OF MY OWN.
HEY, MAX, I'LL TAKE YOUR ORDER.
NEXT, PLEASE.
(Claire) YOU CAN'T EXPECT EVERY GUY TO GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS.
OKAY, NOT EVERY GUY. JUST ONE GUY.
FACE IT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA FIND
THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS AROUND HERE.
SO MAYBE I'LL MOVE.
SO MAYBE I'LL BE MISS AMERICA.
SO MAYBE I WANT MORE OUT OF LIFE.
LIKE SNOW MAYBE AT CHRISTMAS.
UGH, YOU CAN HAVE IT.
OH, CLAIRE.
I HAVE THIS PICTURE IN MY HEAD
OF THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS, YOU KNOW?
AND THIS--
THIS AIN'T IT.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT.
THE PERFECT GUY, THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS.
I MEAN, WHAT'S NEXT?
I'M NOT GROWING OLD SLICING SALAMI.
I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH.
[gasps] DON'T LET YOUR MOTHER HEAR YOU SAY THAT!
IT'S HER BUSINESS, NOT MINE.
SOMETIMES I THINK I WAS BORN INTO THE WRONG FAMILY.
I DON'T GET IT.
YOU GOT A GOOD THING HERE.
IT'S NOT ME.
WELL, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA DO, HMM?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING GOOD.
SOMETHING I LOVE.
WELL LET ME KNOW HOW THAT WORKS OUT FOR YOU.
[laughs] SEE YOU TOMORROW. TOMORROW.
[sighs]
EXCUSE ME.
I'M LOOKING FOR AN ANGELA MORENO.
WELL, IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY. YOU FOUND ONE.
THANKS. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
UH, HI.
HI.
EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET THIS THING TO WORK?
IT'S, UH--
WELL, WHEN THEY PUT IT IN--
UH, INSTALLED IT.
WELL, THE WIRING GUY,
HE USED A CROWBAR
AND, UH, WELL, THE DOOHICKEY GOT WAY PUSHED IN AND--
SO IT'S-- SO IT'S BROKEN.
WELL, YOU JUST CAN'T CALL IT FROM THE LOBBY.
COME HERE, I'LL SHOW YOU.
THAT PIZZA SMELLS GOOD.
I KNOW, IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I'M FAMISHED.
I THINK YOU'D BE SICK OF IT BY NOW.
HUH?
YOU KNOW, DELIVERING THOSE DAY AFTER DAY.
HUH, HERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
WHAT FLOOR?
THREE, PLEASE.
ME TOO.
WE COULD'VE WALKED.
I'M EDDIE, BY THE WAY.
ANGELA.
[elevator dings]
OH, HERE WE ARE.
[laughs] THE LONG RIDE IS OVER.
WE REALLY COULD'VE JUST, UH--
SO LONG, EDDIE.
ACTUALLY I'M HEADED...
OH.
HMM...
YOU KNOW, IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS BUT, UM,
WHERE'S THAT PIZZA GOING?
UH, 304.
[scoffs] I KNEW IT.
I BET IT'S A SINGLE GUY.
VERY LIKELY.
AN ELIGIBLE BACHELOR.
VERY ELIGIBLE, I BET.
UGH, THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
THEY'RE DRIVING ME NUTS.
I HOPE YOU DON'T LIVE WITH YOUR FAMILY, EDDIE.
THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. WHY?
'CAUSE 304 IS A STUDIO APARTMENT.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO--
THAT PIZZA'S-- IT'S ALL MINE.
YOU'RE NOT--
A DELIVERY BOY? NO.
[scoffs]
IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.
IF YOU'RE HUNGRY, YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND SOME PIZZA.
GOOD NIGHT. GOTTA GO.
[door slams]
[quietly] OKAY.
[door opens] HEY, ANG.
HEY, ANGIE.
[TV clicks on]
UM, EXCUSE ME.
OH, YEAH, CABLE'S OUT IN THE OTHER ROOM.
[boinging sound on TV]
[grunts]
[chattering on TV]
THE OTHER ROOM YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS YOUR APARTMENT.
AND I'M GUESSING THE CABLE DOESN'T WORK
BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T PAID THE BILL.
HOT SAUCE COMIN' THROUGH!
WE NEED TO USE YOUR KITCHEN.
WHAT? NO!
I JUST GOT HOME.
OH, AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON.
THE SMOKE-- YOU COULDN'T--
YOU COULDN'T EVEN BREATHE DOWNSTAIRS!
WHAT HAPPENED?
CHARRED LASAGNA.
AY AY AY, YOUR FATHER,
GOD BLESS HIM,
I KNOW HE WAS JUST TRYING TO SPEED THINGS UP BUT...
[scoffs] 60 MINUTES AT 350
IS NOT 35 MINUTES AT 600 DEGREES.
IT'S A WONDER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
DIDN'T SHOW UP AGAIN.
MAYBE YOU CAN ASK BEFORE JUST BARGING IN.
WHAT IF I HAD PLANS?
ANGIE, WHEN DO YOU EVER HAVE PLANS?
EXCUSE ME.
MOM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? CHRISTMAS LASAGNA.
WE HAVE OVER 60 ORDERS.
THAT'S EVERY STOVE WE'VE GOT
GOING PRETTY MUCH ALL THE TIME.
AND NOW I'M ONE OVEN DOWN
AND ONE LASAGNA SHORT.
JAMIE!
WILL YOU QUIT WATCHING TV
AND SET THE TABLE!
OKAY, HONEY.
OH, NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'RE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN.
THIS IS MY KITCHEN, MY APARTMENT.
I JUST CLEANED THE STAINS OUT OF THE CARPET
FROM THE LAST TIME.
OKAY, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA LUG THE FOOD UP AND DOWN THE STAIRS.
DO ME A FAVOR.
GO FIND YOUR UNCLE.
LIKE I CAN'T SMELL THE GARLIC
WAFTING DOWN THE HALLWAY.
[laughs] OH, MOVE OVER, BUDDY!
OH, COME ON!
AH AH AH! I DON'T THINK SO!
OH, COME ON, ROSE.
COME HERE AND MAKE THE SALAD.
BEEN ON MY FEET ALL DAY. GET THE KID TO DO IT.
NO, JAMIE'S SETTING THE TABLE.
RIGHT, JAMIE? YES, HONEY!
ANG, GO FIND YOUR FATHER.
I'M SURE HE'LL FIND US.
(Rose) DONNIE! WHAT?
SALAD!
[mutters in Italian]
MOVE OVER.
THERE'S A WHOLE COUCH OVER--
STOP IT!
OH, OOH! IS THIS FOR ME?
NO, THAT IS FOR THE BABY SHOWER.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT.
BELIEVE ME, I'VE BEEN WAITING EIGHT MONTHS.
WHAT IS IT?
SURPRISE.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
(Rose) JAMES MARCUS
DIBIASI.
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO SIT AND WATCH TELEVISION
WHILE YOUR WIFE, MY DAUGHTER,
THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILD,
SLAVES OVER A HOT STOVE,
WELL, YOU GOT ANOTHER THINK COMING!
ANG, CUT THE BREAD.
I DON'T HAVE ANY BREAD.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THERE'S BREAD RIGHT HERE.
THOSE ARE BAGELS.
WHAT, THEY'RE NOT MADE OUT OF BREAD?
[laughs]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?
I'M GOING TO THE TABLE.
NO, LOOK.
THE CLOTH NAPKINS ARE IN THIS DRAWER.
THAT CANDLES ARE IN THE SIDEBOARD
AND THE CHINA IS IN THAT CABINET.
SALAD, DONNIE, SALAD.
YES, SIR.
[grunts]
JAMIE, BE CAREFUL.
THOSE ARE MY CHRISTMAS PLATES.
OH!
DONNIE, TASTE THAT SALAD,
MAKE SURE GINA'S USING ENOUGH GARLIC.
MA, I KNOW HOW TO COOK!
I BROUGHT THE SAUSAGES.
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T START WITHOUT ME.
(Rose) OH, YOU ARE SO LUCKY
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DINNER TONIGHT
AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME.
WHAT--ROSE, IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE.
DAD, YOU DO THIS EVERY YEAR.
NO, I DON'T.
WELL, YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER
THAN TO LET ME NEAR THE STOVE.
[shattering sound]
[Rose gasps]
WELL, YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM
ONE MONTH A YEAR, RIGHT?
AY.
[smacking and grunting]
MA.
THANKS.
SO, DAD, HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
GOOD...I GUESS.
SAME OLD, SAME OLD.
OKAY, JAMIE.
HOW'S THE JOB SEARCH GOING?
CUT HIM SOME SLACK.
(Jamie) COME ON, I'M WORKING ON IT, OKAY?
WHAT'S WITH THE SECOND DEGREE?
IT'S THIRD. THIRD DEGREE, BABY.
IT'S NOT EVEN FIRST DEGREE.
IT'S CALLED CONVERSATION.
IT'S WHAT CIVILIZED PEOPLE DO
AT THE DINNER TABLE.
LOOK, IF HE HAD HAD HIS FIRST DEGREE,
MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
[sputters]
MA!
DON'T YOU START ON HIM TOO.
MMM.
THE GAME!
UNCLE DONNIE.
IT'S THE GIANTS.
MOM!
[chatter on TV]
[sportscaster on TV] IT'S A PRETTY TIGHT GAME.
TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
OKAY. MWAH.
[sighs]
SO I WAS THINKING MAYBE WE HAVE
A TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS DINNER THIS YEAR.
HUH?
(Rose) WELL, OF COURSE WE HAVE
CHRISTMAS DINNER, ANGELA.
DON'T WE ALWAYS?
NO, I MEAN,
NOT JUST GREEN LASAGNA AND MEATBALLS.
LIKE, SOMETHING SPECIAL.
LIKE A GOOSE
OR STUFFING OR MAYBE EVEN PUDDING.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH GREEN LASAGNA?
IT'S TACKY.
IT'S FESTIVE!
I LOVE THOSE LITTLE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CUPS.
I PUT MY VOTE IN RIGHT NOW.
I COULD EAT 1,000 OF THOSE!
NOT THAT KIND OF PUDDING.
OH! THIS KID'S GONNA BE
A KUNG FU ARTIST OR SOMETHING.
THOSE ARE THE MORENO LEGS.
LITTLE ANTONIO TWO IS GONNA BE AN ATHLETE.
DADDY, I'M NOT NAMING MY DAUGHTER "ANTONIO."
YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A GIRL.
I HAD A SONOGRAM.
[scoffs]
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE USED TO DO IT
BACK IN CUBA.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOU LEFT CUBA WHEN YOU WERE TEN.
WHAT, I REMEMBER SOME THINGS.
LOOK, YOU LAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR, SEE?
WE TAKE AN EGG.
WE PUT IT ON YOUR BELLY.
IF IT ROLLS OFF TO THE RIGHT--
DAD, WE ARE NOT BREAKING ANY EGGS ON MY FLOOR.
SHE'S HAVING A GIRL.
LUCRETIA.
MM-MM. NOT LUCRETIA.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NAME.
IT WAS YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S NAME.
SHE COULD KEEP IT.
SHUT UP!
CAN WE GET BACK TO CHRISTMAS PLANS?
TOUCHDOWN!
HEY!
(Donnie) YEAH!
HEY, NOW THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
YES!
[men cheering]
(Donnie) IT'S A REPLAY!
MOVE OVER! MOVE OVER, DONNIE!
[sighs] ARE WE DONE?
[cheering]
ANIMALS.
(Angela) MA, DON'T. IT'S STILL BROKEN.
YOU HAVEN'T FIXED ANGIE'S DISPOSAL?
IT'S ON THE LIST.
OKAY, TELL ME YOU AT LEAST
FIXED THE TOILET IN 304.
IT'S A LONG LIST.
HUH, SOME MANAGER.
THERE'S A NEW TENANT,
AND I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE
IF HE COULD FLUSH HIS TOILET MORE THAN TWICE A DAY.
[TV clicks off]
I RAN INTO THE NEW GUY.
OH, TELL ME.
YOU HAVE TO STOP.
STOP WHAT?
STOP TRYING TO FIX ME UP.
[scoffs]
YOU KNOW O'MALLEY'S BAR?
THAT NEW GUY'S REDOING THE WHOLE PLACE.
MUSTA BOUGHT IT.
A REGULAR ENTREPRENEUR.
NOBODY'S TRYING TO FIX YOU UP.
EIGHT TENANTS IN A ROW, ALL SINGLE GUYS.
HMM, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
(Antonio) WELL, IT'S A STUDIO APARTMENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GONNA
PUT A FAMILY OF FOUR IN THERE.
(Angela) HOW ABOUT AN OLD WOMAN?
HOW ABOUT A PRIEST?
(Rose) A PRIEST, ANGELA?
PLEASE, BE REASONABLE.
A PRIEST CAN'T MARRY.
I'M PERFECTLY REASONABLE.
I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO STOP MESSING
WITH MY LOVE LIFE.
WHAT LOVE LIFE?
[all chuckling]
(Rose) OKAY, SHE'S GOT A POINT THERE.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER.
I'M 25!
LOOK AT YOUR SISTER.
MARRIED, PREGNANT--
YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY.
FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME,
I AM NOT GONNA MARRY A GUY JUST BECAUSE
HE MOVES INTO THE APARTMENT DOWN THE HALL.
NOW, THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR ME,
AND I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I MEET HIM.
[laughs, snorts]
GOOD LUCK!
(Rose) ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, LAY OFF YOUR SISTER.
IF SHE WANTS TO LIVE LIKE A SPINSTER
AND DIE IN THIS APARTMENT ALONE WITH A CAT,
THAT'S HER BUSINESS. [laughter]
OKAY, AND WE WILL ALL RESPECT HER DECISION.
YES.
THAT'S IT! GOOD NIGHT.
GO. GO GO GO.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAT.
WELL, AT LEAST SOMEONE'S

SO NICE OF YOU TO JOIN US.
SORRY.
LOST TRACK OF TIME.
BEEN DOING THAT A LOT LATELY, HAVEN'T YOU?
MA, PLEASE.
"MA, PLEASE"?
PLEASE WHAT?
YOU MISSED YOUR SISTER'S BABY SHOWER.
OH, COME ON.

THERE WERE WHAT--
HALF A DOZEN AUNTS AND COUSINS
PLUS HER FRIENDS.
YES.
BUT YOU ARE HER ONLY SISTER, AREN'T YOU?
WHAT'S GOING ON, ANGELA?
YOU'RE LATE FOR WORK.
YOU--YOU DON'T SHOW UP FOR DINNER.
BEEN BUSY. THAT'S ALL.
IT'S CHRISTMAS.
GOT THINGS TO DO.

THANK YOU.
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
UH, SOME PLANS.
DRAWINGS FOR THIS BAR THAT I'M--
OH, YEAH.
MY UNCLE TOLD ME ABOUT O'MALLEY'S, YEAH.
I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK IT OUT WHEN IT'S OPEN.
YOU'LL HAVE TO THANK YOUR UNCLE FOR THE PROMOTION.
ACTUALLY I'M JUST KIND OF--
SORT OF REJIGGERING THE SPACE.
YOU A CONTRACTOR?
FRUSTRATED ARCHITECT.
WOW. GO TO SCHOOL FOR THAT?
EH, MORE SELF-TAUGHT, REALLY.
HOW ABOUT-- HOW ABOUT YOU?
ME?
OH, I'M JUST PLAIN FRUSTRATED.
OH, YOU'RE MODEST.
I GOT YOU PEGGED FOR SOMEBODY WITH BIG PLANS.
YOU'RE GOING PLACES.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
NOT TO YOUR SISTER'S PLACE I HOPE.
NO.
THAT'S GOOD.
YOUR FAMILY SEEMS NICE AND ALL, BUT...
UH, YEAH, THEY'RE ALL RIGHT.
YEAH, RIGHT.
[elevator dings]
WELL, UH, IF YOU EVER NEED A HIDEOUT,
THEY'LL NEVER THINK TO LOOK FOR YOU AT THE BAR.
THANKS.
MAYBE ANOTHER TIME.

ANGELA, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
DON'T YOU SEE THE TREE?
YEAH, I SEE IT.
I'M JUST-- I'M HAVING FAMILY PROBLEMS.
OH, YOU WANT THEM TO SEE THE TREE.
NO, I WANT THEM TO JUST LET ME BREATHE.
SO YOU CAN ENJOY THE TREE.
DOUGLAS, THIS IS NOT TREE-RELATED IN ANY WAY.
WANNA GO SKATING?
NO.
I GOTTA GET HOME SOON.
MY FAMILY'S EXPECTING ME FOR DINNER.
BUT YOU SAID YOU WANTED--
I DO, IT'S JUST...
SOMETIMES I--
I THINK I'M SO CLOSE TO--
TO SEEING WHAT IT IS I WANT TO BE.
WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WITH MY LIFE,
AND THEN POOF!
IT'S GONE.
DON'T YOU EVER FEEL THAT HORRIBLE FRUSTRATION
LIKE YOU CAN'T QUITE FIGURE IT ALL OUT?
SOMETIMES I TRY TO COUNT ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE TREE.
BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE EVERY SINGLE BULB.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
I WALK AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND I COUNT THE REST.
382.
WHAT?
THAT'S HOW MANY LIGHTS.
382.
HUH.
YOU KNOW, I THINK YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING.
I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO--
TO LOOK AT MY LIFE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, DON'T I.
SURE.
YOU ARE SO SMART!
WELL. YOU WAIT HERE.
WAIT-- WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M JUST GONNA TELL THEM THAT I WON'T BE HOME FOR DINNER.

THIS IS SO NOT GOOD.
(Eddie) WHERE DID ANGELA GO?
YOU SEE, UM...
I TOLD HER I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK
IN THE SNOW GLOBE.
WHAT DO YOU-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BACK IN-- IN THE SNOW GLOBE?
I THINK IT'S BROKEN.
YEAH, YOU THINK?
ALL RIGHT, HURRY UP ALREADY!
CHRISTMAS PARTY DOWNSTAIRS.
WHERE'S ANGELA?
OH, SHE'S, UM--
SHE LEFT. IN THE BEDROOM.
SHE LEFT FROM THE BEDROOM.
[scoffs]
OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
OKAY, MOM SENT ME UP HERE TO GET PEOPLE.
YOU'RE PEOPLE.
LET'S GO.
ANGELA?
[Donnie and Jamie talking]
GET YOUR FEET OFF THE TABLE. HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
(Antonio) THANK YOU, ROSIE, BABY.
THAT LOOKS GREAT.
WHERE'S ANGELA?
OH, MISSING AS USUAL.
BUT HER BOYFRIEND'S STILL HERE.
AND GET THIS.
HE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND.
OH.
OOF.
HEY! HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'VE GOT PROBLEMS.
(all) MERRY CHRISTMAS!
OH, BROTHER.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, ANGELA.
OH, GREAT. LET ME GUESS.
MITTENS? EAR MUFFS?

DON'T YOU EVER GET SICK OF IT?
WELL, IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS.
WHAT THOUGHT?
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME!
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED TO SHOUT.
SHOUT?

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE PROBLEM?
I THINK I'M IN TROUBLE.
DOUGLAS AND MARIE FOLLOWED ME HOME.
WELL, TECHNICALLY SHE FOLLOWED HIM.
BUT THEY BOTH ENDED UP AT MY PLACE
AND I TRIED TO GET THEM TO COME BACK
BUT SOMEHOW SOMETHING HAPPENED
AND THEY ENDED UP THERE AND I'M STUCK HERE.
STUCK.
ANGELA, I THOUGHT YOU LIKED IT HERE.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION,
"IT'S NICE PLACE TO VISIT
BUT I'M TRAPPED IN A FREAKING SNOW GLOBE!"
TRAPPED?
OH, ANGELA, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY FEEL TRAPPED HERE?
EVERYTHING'S PERFECT.
BUT NOTHING'S REAL!
HERE.
OH, GOOD!
I THINK EVERYBODY'S JUST ABOUT READY TO EAT.
YOU'RE ALWAYS SO VERY HUNGRY.
ALL RIGHT, DEAR.
I THINK YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT.
AHH!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
OH, BROTHER!
ALL RIGHT,
I'VE GOT ONE.
UH...
TWO WORDS. CHRISTMAS TREE.
WOW, YOU'RE GOOD AT THIS.
OH, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE.
YOU DID THAT THE LAST TIME.
YOU GOTTA PICK SOMETHING OTHER THAN CHRISTMAS TREE.
OH!

NO, IT'S NOT A CHRISTMAS TREE!

WELL, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
HUH.
WHAT AM I DOING?
COME--

OH, JOY, HEY.
SORRY ABOUT MAKING A SCENE BEFORE.
OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
EVERYONE'S ALREADY FORGOTTEN.
I JUST WANTED TO COME OUT AND MAKE SURE

I MEAN I MAY JUST HAVE JUST ONE CHRISTMAS,

THEY ALWAYS DO.
BUT IT'S MINE.
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
ARE YOU CERTAIN?
SURE.
I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR, RIGHT?
I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
EXCUSE ME.
