Merry Kissmas

GOOD MORNING.

YOU FOLKS CHECKING IN?

YES. WELLS.

OF COURSE. CARLTON WELLS.

WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR LUGGAGE.

YOU GUYS CHECK IN.

I'LL HAVE IT UPSTAIRS FOR YOU

BY THE TIME YOU GET UP THERE.

OH, THAT'S THE SPIRIT. CHEERS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

VERY KIND.

THANK YOU.

NO, NO, NO, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS.

I WANT MORE.

CARLTON, WHAT ARE YOU

TALKING ABOUT?

THE HOTEL DID

A BEAUTIFUL JOB.

LOOK AT THIS TREE.

IT'S GORGEOUS.

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT

CHRISTMAS. I WANT... MORE.

YES. I KNOW.

YOUR PARENTS NEVER LET YOU

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS GROWING UP,

SO NOW YOU HAVE

TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.

SWEETHEART...

PLEASE DON'T TRIVIALIZE

MY CHILDHOOD, IT'S MY PAIN.

NOW YOU MIGHT

NOT UNDERSTAND IT,

BUT YOU CAN,

AT LEAST, RESPECT IT.

COME ON. WE'VE GOT

TO GET TO THE THEATRE.

WE'VE GOT TIME.

WHY ARE YOU IN SUCH A RUSH?

CARLTON, IT'S A 45 MINUTE

DRIVE FROM HERE, AND YOU'RE

CREW IS WAITING FOR YOU.

IF YOU WANT ME TO BE YOUR FIANCÉ

AND BUSINESS MANAGER,

YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO ME.

YES, BUT I'M NOT THE ONE

WHO WANTED TO TAKE

THE SCENIC ROUTE TO THE HOTEL.

OH, WELL YOU HAD

TO STAY IN THE CITY.

THERE ARE PLENTY

OF NICE HOTELS IN PALO ALTO.

I ONLY STAY IN 5-STAR HOTELS.

NOW, YOU KNOW THAT.

LET'S GO.

OH. ALRIGHT.

WE'RE COMING BACK.

AH! LEAVING US SO SOON,

MR. AND MRS. WELLS?

OH, WE'RE NOT MARRIED YET.

WE'RE GOING TO WAIT

UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR.

OR WHEN IT FITS

IN HIS SCHEDULE.

RIGHT.

YOU GUYS HAVE

A GOOD DAY NOW.

OH NO, NO, NO, NO!

MY NAME SHOULD BE BIGGER!

WHAT? I THINK

IT LOOKS GREAT.

MAKE MY NAME AS BIG

AS "THE NUTCRACKER."

PEOPLE ARE COMING TO SEE

MY RENDITION

OF THIS CHRISTMAS CLASSIC.

I'M THE DRAW.

THE DRAW IS THE ROMANCE

AND MAGIC OF THE STORY

ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

YES, BUT I'M THE ONE WHO'S

BRINGING THE MAGIC TO LIFE.

JUST LIKE HOW YOU BRING

THE MAGIC INTO MY LIFE?

DARLING, EXACTLY.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I NEED YOU.

YOU DON'T NEED ME.

YOU ARE PERFECTLY HAPPY

TOOTING YOUR OWN HORN.

OH, DARLING,

ARE YOU JEALOUS?

OF COURSE NOT.

IT'S JUST THAT

YOU... YOU TREAT ME

LIKE YOUR BUSINESS MANAGER

RATHER THAN YOUR FIANCÉ.

BUT YOU ARE

MY BUSINESS MANAGER.

LOOK, RIGHT NOW I NEED

TO CONCENTRATE ON CARLTON WELLS.

NOW, YOU'LL SEE ABOUT

THE MARQUIS BUSINESS?

YES.

YES, I WILL, AND I WILL CONFIRM

YOUR TELEVISION INTERVIEWS.

YOU TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME,

DARLING. IT'S WHY I LOVE YOU.

I'M GOING TO MEET MY TEAM.

SEE YOU IN A BIT. KISSES.

LADIES!

I THOUGHT WE WERE TEAM.

[PEOPLE SING

CHRISTMAS MUSIC]

HO, HO, HO!

MAKE A DONATION.

MAKE A WISH.

NO WISH?

TRUE LOVE IS ALWAYS

A WORTHY WISH.

YEAH, WELL, I THOUGHT THAT WISH

CAME TRUE 2 YEARS AGO,

BUT... NOW I'M NOT SO SURE.

WHEN I GOT TO THE HAPPILY EVER

ENDING PART OF OUR STORY,

THE RELATIONSHIP KINDA

TURNED INTO A BUSINESS DEAL.

WELL, YOU COULD WISH

FOR THAT SPARK TO BE RENEWED?

YEAH, THAT'S NOT

A BAD IDEA,

CONSIDERING I'M ABOUT

TO GET MARRIED.

I WISH THAT YOUNG GIRL

OVER THERE HAS ALL

OF HER DREAMS COME TRUE.

OH, NICE WISH.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, SANTA.

HO, HO, HO!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

HO, HO, HO!

KAYLA? KAYLA HANSEN?

OH, IT IS YOU. OR SHOULD I SAY,

MRS. CARLTON WELLS?

HELLO, MRS. JOYNER.

YOU'VE BEEN GONE

SO LONG FROM PALO ALTO.

WE WERE WONDERING

WHEN YOU WOULD COME BACK.

WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR YOU!

YOU KNOW, I AM A HUGE FAN

OF CARLTON WELLS.

I HAVE SEEN EVERY ONE

OF HIS PICTURES.

WE COULD USE YOU

IN THE ROTARY CLUB

AND THE PTA COULD REALLY

USE YOUR SMARTS.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDREN,

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S... GREAT.

YOU KNOW WHAT SCHOOLS NEED.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION.

AND, YOU AND CARLTON

SHOULD BECOME MEMBERS

OF MY BRIDGE CLUB.

OH, THAT'S GREAT.

BUT THE THING THAT YOU

COULD DO THE MOST

IS GIVE THIS LITTLE FAN

THE THRILL OF HER LIFE BY

GETTING YOUR WONDERFUL HUSBAND--

I'M SORRY, BUT I REALLY

HAVE TO GET GOING.

TO GIVE AN AUTOGRAPH

BECAUSE THIS PICTURE HERE,

I WOULD HANG IT,

I PROMISE I WOULD HANG IT

IN A VERY PROMINENT,

VERY, VERY NICE PLACE

IN THE... STORE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HOW DO THEY LOOK?

IT'S NOT HOW THEY LOOK,

IT'S HOW THEY TASTE.

I AGREE, BUT FOOD

IS ALL ABOUT PRESENTATION.

I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO...

FIGURE OUT WHAT I WANT

THE NUTCRACKER DESSERTS

TO LOOK LIKE.

I READ THAT CARLTON'S FIANCÉ

COLLECTS NUTCRACKERS.

MMM.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG

THAT TOOK TO MAKE?

THIS IS NOT BAD.

HEY!
