Hope's Hollywood Christmas

Hello?

Yeah.

We need you here right now.

Yes, I'm very sorry--

yes, I'm sorry to disturb--

Lawson, listen to me.

Please, it's an emergency.

Lawson, she's-- she's gone.

No.

No, no, no, no, no no.

I mean, she's-- she's no longer with us.

No, no, I haven't called anyone.

Well, yeah, Richard's on his way, and he insisted that--

hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Where is she?

She's in her bedroom in bed.

Have you called 911?

911, no, I you first.

And then--

OK, OK, let's wait to call 911.

Wait.

No, shouldn't we get--

Well, she lived a good life, had a full life,

died in her sleep.

Died in her sleep?

Yes.

Died in her sleep.

I mean, hey, isn't that how we all want to go?

Go to bed, close our eyes.

And somewhere in the middle of our dreams,

pass along to the other life.

Oh, perfect.

What are you searching for?

I can help.

A copy of her will is here someplace,

and I need to find it.

I have it on file at the office, but didn't

have time to pick it up.

We just updated it last week so I know it's here somewhere.

Don't you think it's premature to start--

Ken is my boy.

This is the moment we've been waiting for.

I have spent the last two years watching the value of her estate

dwindle with each passing day.

Oh, God.

Ooh.

You'd better answer that.

Oh, Kenny.

We knew this day would come.

I just can't bear to think about life without her.

I know you must be devastated.

Where is she?

She's in her bed.

Bed?

What's she wearing?

Don't tell me she's in that blush nightie.

I've called the press.

They're coming.

She has to look her best.

KiKi, and DeeDee are on their way.

KiKi, DeeDee?

Why did you call them?

Hair, makeup.

She's going to be on every network

in the world in about an hour.

Do you think she'd want to be seen by her adoring fans,

faceless, wigless?

And that's why I'm the agent, and you're the driver.

I found it!

KiKi, what's your ETA?

Oh, please don't cry.

You'll make me cry.

I hope you brought your kit.

Well, I don't know.

I haven't seen her yet, but I'm guessing that--

how long has she been--

I found her about an hour ago.

I don't know when she--

I'm sure she looks ghastly.

Oh, you-- you're here?

They're here.

And here it is-- the last will and testament.

And you, sir, will be pleased to know she left you the car.

Oh, the car.

Are you sure about that?

Oh, Kenneth!

Kenneth, you must be devastated.

I'm devastated, I know you must be.

When did she-- when did she--

did she have on her wig?

Please tell me she had a wig on, oh.

Oh, oh, KiKi!

KiKi! - Danny.

Oh.

Danny!

I just knew from the moment I woke up this morning

something wasn't right.

Well, I knew something right at the moment.

Lawson called and told me something wasn't right.

It was like a premonition.

Do you ever have those?

Only after my second nightcap.

Why did you call them?

I called them.

I hardly think this is the time for a makeover.

Did you bring the lashes?

Oh, no.

We have more to deal with than lashes right now!

You have your job and I have mine.

Appearance is everything.

She will not be seen as deceased.

But she is deceased.

Wait, we've got to go back and get those lashes.

Oh, God.

You forgot the lashes?

There's no lashes.

We have the lashes.

The lashes are the architecture of the face.

She's laying back.

What is all this racket?

What is going on?

She looked--

I promise she wasn't breathing.

She-- she was-- she was--

Dead?

Sunny, it's going to take a lot more than a good night's sleep

to get rid of old Billie Mac.

Now, will you all please get out of my house.

Now!

Let's go!

I'm so sorry.

OK.

Davis?

Hope Davis, please?

Do you, the undersigned, agree that you're

not currently employed by the state of California?

Yes.

Check the box, please.

Excuse me?

Hope Miller.

Oh, it's not Miller anymore, it's Davis.

Do I know you?

Oh, my gosh, I can't believe it, Hope Miller.

Denise Jackson.

Denise Jackson.

Remember, I used to live next door.

Little girl used to follow you around everywhere.

Oh, Denise. Oh my goodness.

Yes.

You have grown up.

Yeah.

So good to see you, girl.

Oh.

You gotta be up here.

Hi, I'm Lily.

Oh, it's so good to see you, girl.

What brings you here?

Three guesses.

I-- I need a job.

Wait, you need a temp job?

Yeah, anything will do.

I just trying to get through the holidays, you know,

get my feet back on the ground.

OK.

Let's go to what we were doing OK.

Let's see here.

Previous employment?

She's a singer.

Lily.

We just moved back from Nashville,

and I sang a little but I mostly just waited tables.

I'm glad to be back by the palm trees.

And the beach.

I love the ocean.

Absolutely.

I got you, girl.

OK, so this one right here is a good job.

Good pay.

And look right there.

Look at what?

Beverly Hills.

Beverly Hills?

Oh, old and rich.

Sounds like a handful.

It's just 30 days, and Beverly Hills is absolutely beautiful

this time of year, OK?

30 days.

Kid, guess we're going to Beverly Hills.

Let's go.

Thanks.

Go ahead.

Take.

Eat up, young man.

This soup will put some meat on those bones.

While you eat lots of that, you start to look just like me.

Your soup is the best, Joe.

Well, thank you.

You want to know my secret?
