Santa Baby

MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS--

THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

WHAT? COME ON, DONNA!

TIME TO HOOF IT!

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

WHATEVER. Santa: LITTLE HELP, HERE?

WHAT IS WITH ALL THIS TRAFFIC?

OH, THEY CLOSING DOWN THE STREETS

FOR THE PARADE TOMORROW.

PARADE? WHAT PARADE?

UM...THANKSGIVING.

Mary: YOU CLOSE AN ENTIRE CITY

TO DO A 3-HOUR INFOMERCIAL FOR DEPARTMENT STORES.

GOD, I WISH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.

OH, NO! EMAIL GRANT. BUY US SOME TIME.

OH!

HOLD IT!

FOLEY, THIS CONSULTING GENIUS OF YOURS IS RUNNING LATE.

I'M SURE SHE'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE, SIR.

IF THERE'S ONE THING I'VE LEARNED,

IT'S THAT MARY CLASS IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT.

OH, HEY. I NEED THE-- RIGHT HERE.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE-- HERE YA GO.

AND THE-- GOT IT.

ALL RIGHT!

AND HERE SHE IS NOW.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

MARY CLASS.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY.

MISS CLASS.

WE'RE ALL HERE, WAITING TO BE IMPRESSED.

THESE ARE THE ANNUAL REPORTS FOR YOUR MULTISAVE SUPERSTORES.

Mary: AND THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL BE, A YEAR FROM NOW,

IF THOSE TRENDS CONTINUE.

MY FULL PROPOSAL'S ALREADY IN YOUR EMAIL.

LET'S GO OVER THE BIG POINTS.

THIS IS THE MULTISAVE OF TODAY.

BUT YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SOLUTION.

WHAT COULD BE DONE TO SAVE MULTISAVE?

MULTISAVE IS DONE.

FINISHED. EXTINCT.

IN ITS PLACE,

SAME LOCATION.

DIFFERENT ATTITUDE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS TIME TO REINTRODUCE YOURSELVES.

AND THAT MEANS GOING AFTER THE YOUTH MARKET.

IT MEANS GETTING A MASCOT.

IT MEANS BRAND RECOGNITION.

YOU DON'T SELL...HATS.

YOU SELL SPOTLIGHT HATS.

YOU DON'T SELL TOASTERS.

YOU SELL SPOTLIGHT TOASTERS.

BOTTLED WATER?

SPOTLIGHT WATER.

MISS CLASS, YOU WANT US TO THROW AWAY

EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY.

MR. HAMILTON.

YOU CAN'T STAND IN THE WAY OF PROGRESS.

THE NEW PARADIGM IS DESTINATION SHOPPING.

INSTEAD OF GOING SHOPPING,

PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO SPOTLIGHT.

INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE MALL,

PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO SPOTLIGHT.

SPOTLIGHT WILL BECOME THE NUMBER ONE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.

THAT... IN YOUR FUTURE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

AH, IT WAS NOTHING. NOTHING?

HAMILTON'S SO IMPRESSED,

HE'S PUTTING ME IN CHARGE OF NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

SERIOUSLY? MM-HM.

GRANT...

THAT IS FANTASTIC.

IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

MM... YOU'RE JUST AMAZING. I DON'T DESERVE YOU.

DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW?

NO. PLEASE. COME IN.

HERE'S THE REST OF THE MULTISAVE PAPERWORK.

THANKS, DONNA. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US.

WELL, WE CAN GET A JUMP ON IT OVER THE LONG WEEKEND.

OH, GRANT.

I CAN'T AFFORD A 4-DAY WEEKEND.

OKAY. WE CONNECT IN TORONTO BEFORE--

WHERE IS POLARIS, ANYWAY?

NO NO NO NO NO.

THE HEAVY COAT. I THOUGHT THIS WAS IT.

NO. THE GREEN ONE.

WELL, I HOPE YOUR DAD'S ALL RIGHT.

AH, HE'S A FORCE OF NATURE.

A HEART ATTACK WON'T EVEN SLOW HIM DOWN.

THERE'S NO GREEN COAT IN HERE.

THERE'S THIS SLEEPING BAG.

NO. THAT'S IT.

I CAN'T REALLY SEE YOU WEARING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

IT'S NOT FOR ME. IT'S FOR YOU.

IT GETS VERY COLD UP THERE. TRUST ME.

HEY. THANKS FOR GOING WITH ME.

I KNOW IT'S NOT MUCH OF A HOLIDAY.

WHERE YOU GO, I GO.

Mary: YOU KNOW, THERE'S-- THERE'S SOMETHING THAT, UM,

YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MY FAMILY.

FAMILIES. IF YOU CAN'T BE EMBARRASSED BY THEM, WHAT GOOD ARE THEY?

YEAH. WELL, MY FOLKS ARE KIND OF ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.
