DANCIN' THROUGH THE SNOW
IN A ONE-HORSE OPEN SLEIGH
OVER THE FIELDS WE GO
LAUGHING ALL THE WAY
SLIPPING AND A-SLIDING
BELLS ON BOBTAIL RINGS
MAKING SPIRITS BRIGHT
WHAT FUN IT IS
TO RIDE AND SING
A SLEIGHING SONG TONIGHT
EVERYBODY SING
JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE BELLS
JINGLE ALL THE WAY...
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.
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.
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 I 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 GO 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 MOMEN 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 DEPARTMEN 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 GO 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 CARPE 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 STAR WITHOUT ME.
(Rose)
OH, YOU ARE SO LUCKY
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DINNER
TONIGH 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.
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 ARTIS 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 I 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 WHA 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 LEAS FIXED THE TOILE 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 TOILE MORE THAN TWICE A DAY.
[TV clicks off]
I RAN INTO THE NEW GUY.
OH, TELL ME.
YOU HAVE TO STOP.
STOP WHAT?
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 APARTMEN DOWN THE HALL.
NOW, THERE'S SOMEONE
OUT THERE FOR ME,
AND I'LL KNOW I 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 APARTMEN 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
GETTING THEIR SHOPPING DONE
EARLY.
WOW.
OH, MY.
NO NOTE?
NO RETURN ADDRESS?
SO WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?
[sighs]
[whimsical tune plays]
[whooshing sound]
PHEW.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Christmas music playing]
[distant carolers
singing Jingle Bells]

I'M FINE.
I-I-I-I'M FINE.
UM, WHERE AM I?
YOU'RE HERE.
YEAH, BUT WHERE IS--
OH!
I GET IT.
IT'S A DREAM.
I DON'T THINK SO.
OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
YOU'RE PART OF IT.
[laughs]
I MEAN WE'RE DEFINITELY
NOT IN BROOKLYN ANYMORE.
WHAT'S A BROOKLYN?
[chuckles]
IT'S A...
UH...
WELL, THERE ARE
THESE FIVE BOROUGHS.
OH.

AND THERE IT IS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

(Angela)
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
I LOVE THIS DREAM.
OUCH!
WHAT WAS THAT FOR?
KIND OF PUTS A KINK
IN YOUR DREAM THEORY, HUH?
HMM, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
OW!
[laughs]
I NEVER SAID
I WAS DREAMING.
WELL, WHO SAID YOU WERE?
[laughing]

[both laughing]
WHO'S THAT?

OH.
(Douglas)

VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
THANKS.
EVERYONE HERE'S

OH, AREN'T YOU SWEET?
YEAH, AND SO INTO CHRISTMAS.
WELL...
WHAT ELSE WOULD WE BE?
ANGELA, WOULD YOU GIVE ME
A HAND IN THE KITCHEN?
SURE.
THIS IS AN AMAZING KITCHEN.
WHY, THANK YOU.
IT ALWAYS SEEMS
TO GET THE JOB DONE.
IS THAT A CHRISTMAS GOOSE?
OF COURSE, DEAR.
I FORGOT THE YAMS.
WOULD YOU MIND?
UM, NO.
BUT WHERE ARE...
THEY'RE IN THE STOVE,
DEAR.
THE STOVE?
IT'S EMPTY.
HOW DID THIS--UH...
HMM.
OH, MY GOSH!
UM, JOY?

OH, I HAD NO IDEA
YOU'D BE SO HUNGRY.
LET ME GET THAT FOR YOU,
DEAR.
AH.
[stove door clangs shut]
UM, YOU THINK WE'LL NEED
SOME EXTRA YAMS AS WELL?
UH, NO,
I THINK WE'LL BE OKAY.
SO MARY RODE ON A DONKEY,
AND JOSEPH WALKED ALONGSIDE.
AND WHEN THEY GOT TO BETHLEHEM,
THEY WERE VERY, VERY TIRED.
BUT THERE WAS NO ROOM
FOR THEM AT THE INN.
THAT MUST'VE BEEN
DISCOURAGING.
THEY SHOULD'VE COME HERE,
ANGELA.
WE CERTAINLY WOULD'VE
PUT THEM UP FOR A NIGHT OR TWO.
WHAT HAPPENED THEN?
[laughs]
IT ALL WORKED OUT.
[all laugh]
THAT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL STORY
I'VE EVER HEARD.
TELL IT AGAIN.
[all agreeing]
(Douglas)
YEAH, TELL IT ONE MORE TIME!
I'M SURE WE DON'T WAN TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
ONE OF YOU MUST HAVE A STORY.
UH.

YOU'RE SHIVERING.
ARE YOU COLD?
NO, NO--
I FEEL NICE AND TOASTY.
[giggles]
IT'S JUST, UM,
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU MAKE ME A LITTLE...
A LITTLE?
[door opens]
ANGELA, WH--
OKAY, UH,
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU INVITE
YOUR BOYFRIEND INSIDE
TO MEET YOUR OTHER BOYFRIEND
AND HIS OTHER GIRLFRIEND.
(Marie)
WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
FOREVER
AND YOU JUST UP AND LEAVE
WITHOUT SO MUCH
AS A GOOD-BYE?
NO, NO, MARIE,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WELL, WELL, WELL.
LOOK WHO IT IS,
LITTLE MISS "COME TO MY TOWN
"AND STEAL MY BOYFRIEND
WHILE WE'RE ICE SKATING
AND THEN LEAVE AND HAVE HIM
FOLLOW YOU HOME."
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU AND MARIE WERE JUST FRIENDS.
OF COURSE MARIE'S MY FRIEND.
YOU'RE MY FRIEND.
EDDIE HERE IS MY FRIEND.
YEAH, ME, NOT SO MUCH.
UGH, DOUGLAS,
I WAS YOUR ONLY GIRLFRIEND
UNTIL SHE CAME AND TOOK YOU.
I DIDN'T TAKE HIM.
HE JUST ESCAPED ON HIS OWN.
UH, HA--
MARIE, WHY DON'T WE
GO SOME PLACE
WHERE YOU AND I CAN
GO TALK.
JAMIE, CAN YOU KEEP DOUGLAS
COMPANY?
NO.
JAMIE IS HELPING ME
WITH DINNER.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!
YOU HEARD THE LADY.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF DICING
AND CHOPPING.
'CAUSE, DOUG,
YOU AND ME OTHERWISE--
YEAH!
MARIE.
LET ME GUESS.
SHE'S FROM THE VILLAGE TOO.
HOW DID YOU KNOW?
[scoffs]
[door shuts]
MARIE, I NEED
TO EXPLAIN.
OH, I DON'T NEED
AN EXPLANATION.
OF COURSE DOUGLAS
WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.
YOU HAVE ALL THIS.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COMPETE
WITH THIS?
WITH MY CLOCK RADIO?
[whimpers]
IT'S A RADIO TOO?
LOOK...
I MADE A MISTAKE.
YOU AND DOUGLAS
BELONG TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW THAT.
DOUGLAS AND I DON'T BELONG
TOGETHER.
AND DEEP DOWN,
ALL THINGS BEING RELATIVE,
DOUGLAS KNOWS THAT TOO.
I'M SORRY.
NOW, WE NEED TO GET YOU BOTH
BACK IN THE SNOW GLOBE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BACK IN THE SNOW GLOBE?
SEE?
OH.
IS THAT MY BAKERY?
AND THE INN.
ARE YOU SOME KIND OF--
UH...
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
SO...
HOW ABOUT THEM GIANTS?
GIANTS?
NO WAY!
MARIE, BE REASONABLE.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
S-S-S-SHE WANTS US
TO GO BACK IN THERE!
YOU CAN DO THAT?
SEND US BACK HOME?
YES!
I THINK SO.
DOUGLAS, I DON'T WAN TO GO BACK IN THERE.
AND NEITHER DO YOU.
OH, YES, I DO.
THERE'S GIANTS.
WHAT--WHAT THE HECK
ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?
JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
ALL RIGHT, JUST LOOK AT I FOR A SEC.
DOUG--DOUGLAS--DOUGLAS--

VERY CHRISTMASSY.
[grunts]
[spring jangles]
[sighs]
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.

OH, AND LET'S SEE THIS.
MITTENS AND EAR MUFFS!
HA!
WOW, WHAT A LUCKY GIRL
YOU ARE!
DON'T YOU EVER GET SICK
OF IT?
WELL, IT'S THE THOUGH THAT COUNTS.
WHAT THOUGHT?
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME!
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY NEED
TO SHOUT.
SHOUT?
OF COURSE THERE IS,
IT'S CHRISTMAS!
HOW COULD YOU HAVE CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT ANY SHOUTING?
[scoffs loudly]
[distant carolers singing]
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
WE WISH YOU
A MERRY CHRISTMAS...
(all)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
ANGELA!
JOY, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
OH, ANGELA, IT'S CHRISTMAS.
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 THOUGH YOU LIKED IT HERE.
HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD
THE EXPRESSION,
"IT'S NICE PLACE TO VISI 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!
OH...ALL RIGHT.
UH...
OKAY.
OKAY, I'VE GOT ONE.
UH...
TWO WORDS.
FIRST WORD.
UGH.
ALL RIGHT, MY TURN.
[grunts]
ROSE, WHEN ARE WE GONNA EAT?
WHEN ANGELA GETS HERE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS DINNER.
AND WE ARE NOT EATING
UNTIL WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
OKAY.
IS IT A CHRISTMAS TREE?
NO, IT'S NOT A CHRISTMAS TREE!
ANGELA.
ANGELA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
WELL, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
HUH.
WHAT AM I DOING?
COME--
ON--
YOU STUPID--
SNOW--
GLOBE!
[whimpers]
SOMETHING WRONG?
OH, JOY, HEY.
SORRY ABOUT MAKING A SCENE
BEFORE.
OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
EVERYONE'S ALREADY FORGOTTEN.
I JUST WANTED TO COME OU AND MAKE SURE
THAT YOU WERE OKAY.
YEAH, SURE.
I GUESS THINGS JUST AREN' THE SAME
WITHOUT DOUGLAS HERE.
IT'S NOT JUST DOUGLAS.
IT'S EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, LOOK AROUND.
IT'S EVERYTHING I DREAMED
CHRISTMAS COULD BE.
BUT...
BUT IT'S TOO MUCH.
PERFECTION'S OVERRATED.
I MEAN I MAY JUST HAVE
JUST ONE CHRISTMAS,
AND YEAH, MY FAMILY'S
GONNA SCREW IT UP.
THEY ALWAYS DO.
BUT IT'S MINE.
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE I ANY OTHER WAY.
ARE YOU CERTAIN?
SURE.
I MEAN, THERE'S ALWAYS
NEXT YEAR, RIGHT?
I THINK I KNOW
WHAT YOU MEAN.
EXCUSE ME.
I'M LOOKING FOR
AN ANGELA MORENO.
I'M--
THANKS.
I THINK.
GO ON, OPEN IT.
HOW DID YOU--
(Joy)
EVERYONE'S LOOKING FOR
THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS,
ANGELA.

[whimsical tune plays]
[whooshing sound]
I'M GONNA GET YOU
OUT OF THERE, ANGELA.
I PROMISE.
(Angela)
I'D RATHER YOU DIDN' MAKE A MESS IN MY KITCHEN.
SO, I HEAR THE NEIGHBORS
ARE HAVING
THIS LITTLE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
WANNA CRASH IT?
I WOULDN'T MISS I FOR THE WORLD.
[laughs]
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

ANG.
THE SOONER YOU SI THE SOONER WE EAT.
OH, I CAN'T WAIT.
I BEEN LOOKING FORWARD

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WANTING
A TRADITIONAL
CHRISTMAS DINNER,
SO I FIGURED THIS YEAR
WE MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT!
UH, OH.
A GOOSE.
I WAS KIND OF LOOKING FORWARD
TO CHRISTMAS LASAGNA.
I PUT IT IN THE STUFFING.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING
ABOUT!
[all laugh]
SHE'S SO CREATIVE.
HE'S NEVER SEEN JELL-O.
(Angela)
HE NEEDS TO TAKE SOME HOME.
(Gina)
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
[joyful chattering]
[Christmas music playing]
(Angela)
WE'LL REPLACE THE BROKEN STUFF.
(Eddie)
THAT'S GREAT.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MARIE.
THANK YOU, ANGELA.
DOUGLAS.

[whimsical tune plays]
HERE WE GO.
[whooshing sound]
[Marie grunts]
OOH.
HOME, SWEET HOME.
OH!
OH, IT'S WONDERFUL.
THAT'S NOTHING.
LOOK AT THIS!
WOW!
LET'S GO TO THE INN
AND SHOW EVERYBODY!
WELL...
ACTUALLY I WAS THINKING
MAYBE WE COULD GO
TO THE BAKERY.
THERE'S NO ONE AT THE BAKERY
RIGHT NOW.
EXACTLY.
WOW!
THAT WAS BETTER THAN SKATING.
[Christmas music playing]
MA?
MA, PLEASE.
I THINK YOU'RE OVERREACTING.
NO, WE'RE NOT TRYING
TO AVOID THE FAMILY.
[chuckles]
OF COURSE WE'LL BE THERE
FOR CHRISTMAS.
ANYTHING YOU WANT IS FINE.
OKAY, GREAT.
OKAY, WELL, WE'LL SEE YOU
TOMORROW.
OKAY, MOM.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
EVERYTHING OKAY?
UGH, SHE'S SO MELODRAMATIC.
EVER SINCE I MOVED OU SHE'S JUST TERRIFIED
WE'LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN
AND THAT WE'RE GONNA MISS
THE BIG FAMILY CHRISTMAS.
WE'RE NOT GONNA MISS IT,
ARE WE?
NO SUCH LUCK.
I'M TERRIFIED TO SEE
WHAT GINA WHIPPED UP.
WELL, AT LEAST YOU'RE MAKING
DESSERT, RIGHT?
YOU KNOW, I TOTALLY FORGO TO TELL HER.
HANG ON.
HEY, MA!
WHAT?
DON'T FORGET TO TELL GINA
THAT I'M BRINGING DESSERT.
ALL RIGHT, SWEETIE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
[grunts]
COME HERE.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
OH, DAMN.
KNOW WHAT,
I GOTTA GET GOING.
I'M GONNA BE LATE
FOR WORK.
ALL RIGHT.
HAVE A GOOD ONE.
HEY, SORRY I'M LATE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
WELCOME.
