By God's Grace

Isn't it beautiful?

Christmas is my favorite time of year.

I wish my big brother Chris felt that way.

See, he and I go way back.

Well, I guess if you consider ten years way back.

He's been a pretty good big brother until lately.

You could say he kind of has an attitude problem,

Especially around Christmas.

And that's where I come in.

No. You can't have more time, Bill.

Look, this is business.

I don't go into work every morning to have fun.

Well, if you can't do the job right,

Then I will find someone who will.

I'm tired of hearing about this, Bill.

Look, I gotta go.

I want the proposal on my desk

By the time I get to work.

Hey!

Hey, what is this? My yard is trashed.

I want this taken care of by the time I get home

Or you're out of a job.

My big shot brother thinks he has life

Figured out, but he's got a lot to learn.

I might be his little sister,

But I've got some big plans for him.

This is gonna be the year that he learns

The true meaning of Christmas.

Looks like I might have found the problem.

Really? That's great.

I'll see if we can get you there on time.

Start it up.

Thank you so much.

It's jeremy, right?

Uh-huh.

You have no idea how much you've helped me today.

Of course.

Please.

I can't take it.

Are you sure?

I'm sure, yeah.

You're a godsend.

Again, thank you.

You're very welcome. Have a good day.

You too.

Hi, Chris. Nice to see you...

Fill it with premium.

Yeah.

You got any plans for christmas or...

No. No one can go home early, Bill.

Hey! Do you mind?

Last time I checked, Bill,

Christmas Eve isn't a holiday.

Hey, hey, hey, watch the paint job!

$20 regular.

All right.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

God bless you, sir.

I will see you when I get into the office.

No, I will see you there.

Hey chris, we should get together

Just like we used to.

You have some messages.

And that's the file for the trinity group.

How is the prep coming for the 1:00 o'clock meeting?

About that... They're coming in at 10:00.

What? I told them 1:00.

I'm sorry but they had obligations this afternoon.

Hold all my calls.

Chris, there's one more thing.

Terri, you're killing me.

I need everyone in the board room by 9:45.

But samantha tipton is...

No more interruptions!

I take it this is a bad time?

Is there ever a good time?

Look, I know you're busy.

Very.

So I'll be brief.

The youth shelter has lost a lot of their funding.

People aren't giving anymore.

We're looking at foreclosure.

We could lose the home.

And?

And?!

What do you want me to do about it?

Chris, come on.

You know these kids don't have anything.

I'm just looking for a little help.

We can't even afford to put up a Christmas tree this year.

That's not my problem.

Do you think this is easy for me?

Crawling in here and begging for a handout?

You're our last hope.

Look, I only invest in opportunities that present a potential return.

Chris, you know these kids have a bright future

Ahead of them if they can only find someone who believes in them.

And that is a huge return.

Have a nice day, sam.

This isn't your best sales report, Bill.

It's all in there, Chris.

I've seen better.

Well, you can look at it again after the holidays.

You'll have plenty of time to finish it after the meeting.

There's no rush to get this done.

But I want it done and I want it done right.

Take some pride in your work.

David, you remember Chris as well as Bill.

Thanks, Terri.

Good to see you. How are you?

Good, thanks.

Well, look at you.

You're really running this place now, huh?

Uh-huh.

And I am excited to let you know that we now ship it better, faster and cheaper.

We now beat the competition by at least 25%.

And it's no secret in the industry that you've

Landed one of the largest government contracts in the state.

You've been doing your homework.

So you can save me some money?

Millions. Take a look at page 3 here.

We can go over some of the details.

Chris, bill's already sent me the info on you.

I get it.

Hey, Trinity Group has been using Century Air

For how long now? 20, 25 years?

Which is exactly why I'd like to go over some of the details with you.

When your dad started this company,

I was one of his first customers.

Jim's always treated us like family.

We've always appreciated it.

You got my business.

I don't mean to dance.

I promise you will not be disappointed.

I'll have terri grab the contracts.

You've got my handshake.

We can rap this up after Christmas.

Well, you're here today.

Why don't with just sign now.

I'm sure everyone's eager to get home.

They don't mind.

We're a family company, Chris.

Family comes first.

I mean, it's a lot that I came down here today.

Tell nancy I said hi.

Will do.

I'd like a word with you.

Sure.

Everyone hang tight. I'll be right back.

Just got a couple of these beauties in last week.

I see you still have your dad's car.

Yeah.

Did you know that my father was friends with your grandfather?

No, no, I only met him twice

When I was a little kid.

We go way back with the Taylor family.

Been friends for years.

That's great.

Then you know how problematic it can get

When you mix business with friends.

I've been getting a lot of calls from

Pacific West Air.

They've wanted my business for years.

Pacific West? Really?

Yeah. They're setting up shop in the states.

Not certain I like the way they do business.

They work their people too hard.

Yeah, that's too bad.

I'm expecting a proposal from them

the day after Christmas.

We shook on it.

You said we had your business.

And if they don't make me a better offer,

I'll sign the contract with you.

Everything good?

No. Not good.

How dare you give them those quotes without my approval?

Chris, I've handled trinity for years.

I was just trying to troubleshoot any potential issues.

He's expecting a bid from pacific west in two days.

If he gets a better deal, he walks.

He's bluffing. I know david.

I'll call him after Christmas.

It will be fine.

I need to guarantee they sign on the dotted line.

Until then I want everyone working on a more defined proposal.

Chris, just hold on.

We have all been working day and night on this thing.

It's a done deal.

Why don't we just give everybody the day off and

Go be with their families.

I know this is a hard time of year for you.

You and I can wrap this up by 1:00 o'clock.

You're more than welcome to come over.

Do you want time off, Bill?

Am I working you too hard?

Everybody's been working hard.

Are you committed to this job?

Yes. I'm also committed to my family.
