00:01:04 [Music]
00:01:11 We should get moving. We've got a big day.
00:01:14 [Music]
00:01:34 Sunday after Thanksgiving. Busiest travel day of the year.
00:01:38 Can you remind me again, Blair, why you're traveling today?
00:01:41 [Music]
00:01:45 You're off, I buy. I'll be home next Christmas.
00:01:49 [Music]
00:01:51 I love you, Mommy. Sweetheart.
00:01:56 She's going to be fine.
00:01:59 Daddy. I love you.
00:02:04 [Music]
00:02:11 Bye, honey.
00:02:17 Love you.
00:02:20 I love you.
00:02:22 [Music]
00:02:35 Think she'll be okay?
00:02:39 She'll be better than okay.
00:02:41 I meant in Peru, in the jungle.
00:02:43 Please stop worrying about this, okay?
00:02:46 The Peace Corps is not going to send her someplace that's dangerous.
00:02:51 It just won't be the same.
00:02:54 What won't?
00:02:56 Christmas.
00:02:58 [Music]
00:03:15 Did I tell you I'm doing dessert for the art lunch tomorrow, and I just need a couple things from Chips.
00:03:19 Oh, here's a spot right here. I need white chocolate and pistachios.
00:03:33 I didn't bring the umbrella.
00:03:34 I need that stuff from Chips.
00:03:37 I didn't bring the umbrella.
00:03:39 Well, I still need it.
00:03:41 It's going to have to wait.
00:03:44 Okay, look, you stay in the car and I'll get them.
00:03:47 I'll go. I'll go. Look, it's just sprinkling.
00:03:52 Listen, don't forget Dixon's white chocolate, one pound bar, and March Brothers pistachios.
00:03:58 Okay.
00:04:00 [Music]
00:04:17 You could use an umbrella.
00:04:20 I just need some white chocolate.
00:04:22 [Music]
00:04:43 What's the matter?
00:04:44 I just talked to Blair. She called from the plane.
00:04:47 She called from the airplane?
00:04:48 Do you have any idea how much it costs to call from an airplane?
00:04:54 How is she?
00:04:56 She's fine. She misses us.
00:04:59 I'll take this over there.
00:05:00 I could--
00:05:01 What? You didn't get the white chocolate.
00:05:05 I didn't have it.
00:05:06 Did you talk to Rex?
00:05:08 Who's Rex?
00:05:09 The butcher.
00:05:13 As odd as it sounds, I didn't think of asking the butcher where the chocolate was.
00:05:22 But I will.
00:05:23 Thank you.
00:05:24 I'll go talk to Rex right now.
00:05:26 Maybe he'll wonder why I'm all wet.
00:05:40 Are you sure you don't need it?
00:05:46 Hey, buddy. Can I get one of those?
00:05:47 Oh, sure. Thanks.
00:05:59 I really think you need an umbrella.
00:06:03 You know why I don't want one of your stupid umbrellas?
00:06:10 Because I couldn't get any wetter.
00:06:39 Morning, Luther.
00:06:40 Hi, Mr. Crank.
00:06:41 Morning, Mr. Crank.
00:06:42 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:07:10 I'm sorry.
00:07:39 It's so different this Christmas, won't it, Luther?
00:07:42 Yes, it will. So different.
00:07:45 Nothing will be the same.
00:07:48 The first time in 23 years Blair won't be here.
00:07:53 It might even get depressing.
00:07:55 Mm.
00:07:58 A lot of depression at Christmas, you know.
00:08:02 Yeah, well.
00:08:05 I would just love to forget about it.
00:08:17 What are you looking at?
00:08:21 Why are you looking at me like that?
00:08:27 Finish your pasta.
00:08:30 I'm finished with my pasta.
00:08:32 It's you I'm not finished with.
00:08:34 I'll be right back.
00:08:37 Wait right there.
00:08:38 Okay.
00:08:53 Luther?
00:08:58 What are you doing?
00:08:59 It's not even Saturday night.
00:09:10 I have an idea.
00:09:12 Yeah?
00:09:13 A brilliant idea.
00:09:21 Make sure you shut the curtains.
00:09:25 All right.
00:09:27 Come over here. Turn around.
00:09:29 What are you doing?
00:09:30 Sit down.
00:09:31 Sit down.
00:09:32 Button up and sit down.
00:09:33 Look at this.
00:09:35 This is a little ledger of what we spent last year for Christmas.
00:09:39 Look at the center of this.
00:09:41 What is this?
00:09:42 $63 for ornament repair?
00:09:44 You've got to be kidding me.
00:09:45 Look at the total.
00:09:48 We spent $6,100 on Christmas last year.
00:09:51 $6,100 on Christmas.
00:09:55 I heard you the first time.
00:09:57 With precious little to show for.
00:09:59 Where is this going?
00:10:03 Caribbean.
00:10:07 A 10-day luxury cruise on the Jubilee,
00:10:10 the most luxurious ship in their fleet.
00:10:13 Cayman Islands.
00:10:16 Sparkling.
00:10:17 We go to Jamaica.
00:10:18 We windsurf, whatever the heck that is.
00:10:20 Look at the picture here.
00:10:21 The Bahamas.
00:10:22 We sit in the sun.
00:10:23 You and me.
00:10:25 I might have to lose a little weight.
00:10:27 Heck, I'll lose it for you.
00:10:29 Well, what's the catch?
00:10:33 I wouldn't call it catch.
00:10:39 We skip Christmas.
00:10:42 We skip Christmas?
00:10:44 We skip Christmas, save the money, and spend it on us for a change.
00:10:48 I don't know. I don't know.
00:10:50 Come on, please. You and I.
00:10:52 Go bask in the Caribbean sun.
00:10:56 How much is this going to cost?
00:10:58 $3,000.
00:11:01 We save money?
00:11:04 Absolutely.
00:11:08 Well, we can still give our charitable donations to Children's Hospital and, of course, the church.
00:11:13 No, this is a total boycott, honey.
00:11:16 It's $600, Luther.
00:11:19 It's a total boycott.
00:11:21 I'm afraid that's all I'm going to say about that.
00:11:24 Oh.
00:11:25 Then no.
00:11:28 Stupid idea.
00:11:31 You're going to let a lousy $600 stand between us and a Caribbean cruise?
00:11:36 No.
00:11:37 You are.
00:11:44 All right, all right, all right.
00:11:46 We'll match last year's contribution to the church and to the hospital, but not a penny more.
00:11:52 When do we leave?
00:11:53 High noon, Christmas Day.
00:11:59 Oh, it's not even Saturday night.
00:12:02 Dear colleagues, I will not be celebrating Christmas this year.
00:12:11 As many of you know, Blair has joined the Peace Corps.
00:12:20 So, Nora and I have decided to avoid the rituals of Christmas, save our money, and take a cruise.
00:12:28 Therefore, I will not be participating in the usual holiday rituals.
00:12:33 I will buy no gifts and accept none.
00:12:36 Thank you anyway.
00:12:37 I will not attend the firm's black-tie Christmas dinner, nor will I be here for the office party.
00:12:44 I am not angry, and I will not yell "humbug" at anyone who offers me a holiday greeting.
00:12:55 I am simply skipping Christmas.
00:13:09 Hello, Mrs. Crank.
00:13:10 Hello, Obby.
00:13:11 How are you?
00:13:12 I'm just a little worried about your Christmas cards, Mrs. Crank.
00:13:14 Why are you worried?
00:13:15 Well, you always select the most beautiful cards, Mrs. Crank, and you really should put your order in.
00:13:19 We're not going to be ordering Christmas cards this year.
00:13:21 Do what?
00:13:22 You heard me.
00:13:23 May I ask why not?
00:13:24 You know, I'm really quite late for lunch.
00:13:26 Bye-bye.
00:13:27 Say hi to your mom.
00:13:29 We always have a live band at the auction.
00:13:32 Yeah, but last year the band cost $15,000.
00:13:34 We hired a DJ for the cancer ball.
00:13:37 Ladies.
00:13:38 Hi, Obby.
00:13:39 Hello, Obby.
00:13:40 Mrs. Crank, we forgot to talk about your Christmas invitations.
00:13:43 We won't be needing those either.
00:13:46 No party?
00:13:47 No Christmas Eve party?
00:13:49 No, no party this year.
00:13:51 She's not ordering Christmas cards either.
00:13:54 What's up?
00:13:58 Hi, Obby.
00:14:00 Um, we're taking a break.
00:14:05 Um, we're not going to do Christmas this year.
00:14:09 How do you simply not do Christmas?
00:14:12 Well, you skip it.
00:14:14 But then what do we do Christmas Eve?
00:14:16 Oh, come on.
00:14:17 You'll think of something.
00:14:18 I mean, there are plenty of other parties.
00:14:20 But none like yours.
00:14:21 Oh, that's sweet.
00:14:23 When do you leave?
00:14:25 Christmas Day.
00:14:26 That's an odd time to travel.
00:14:29 Well, apparently not that many people travel on December 25th,
00:14:33 and so Luther got us a great deal.
00:14:35 Oh, then why don't you have the party anyway?
00:14:37 Because we don't want to, Mary.
00:14:39 We're taking a break.
00:14:41 One year off, no Christmas whatsoever.
00:14:44 [music playing]
00:15:10 Mr. Crank, I'm Randy Scanlon.
00:15:12 We're selling Christmas trees again this year.
00:15:15 Got yours right here.
00:15:18 I got a Canadian blue spruce last year.
00:15:21 This one's a real beauty, almost 10 feet tall.
00:15:24 Mrs. Crank likes the big ones.
00:15:27 Cute.
00:15:28 How much is the big one?
00:15:29 90.
00:15:30 We had to go up a little.
00:15:34 We're not buying a Christmas tree this year.
00:15:40 Luther.
00:15:41 Shh, we talked about this.
00:15:42 Hey!
00:15:51 Sorry we had to go up on the price.
00:15:54 We're making less per tree than last year.
00:15:56 It's not about the money.
00:15:58 We're not doing Christmas this year.
00:16:00 We're going to go away on a cruise.
00:16:03 We don't need a tree.
00:16:04 [music playing]
00:16:12 All right.
00:16:13 Well, out of the frying pan and into the fire.
00:16:19 Luther.
00:16:20 What?
00:16:21 Come here.
00:16:22 Why?
00:16:23 Come here.
00:16:27 What are they doing?
00:16:28 Who?
00:16:30 Spilling their guts to Frohmeyer.
00:16:32 Oh, not Frohmeyer.
00:16:34 Are you intimidated by Vic Frohmeyer?
00:16:39 Honey, he's like the unelected ward boss of the street.
00:16:42 So you're saying Frohmeyer has a problem
00:16:44 with our skipping Christmas?
00:16:45 Who's he going to call?
00:16:47 The three wise men.
00:16:49 Santa Claus.
00:16:51 Don't underestimate him, honey.
00:16:53 Vic Frohmeyer lives and breathes for this neighborhood.
00:16:57 You should have just bought the tree.
00:16:59 You didn't have to put it up.
00:17:01 No.
00:17:02 You could have left it in the backyard.
00:17:04 Quiet.
00:17:05 Why are you whispering, Luther?
00:17:06 This is our house.
00:17:07 I'm whispering for the same reason
00:17:09 you're hiding behind that curtain.
00:17:11 Huh?
00:17:12 [music playing]
00:17:14 Hey, Walt.
00:17:16 Luther Crank just stiffed the scouts on a Christmas tree.
00:17:19 Can you believe that, Mr. Frohmeyer?
00:17:27 [music playing]
00:17:54 [chatter]
00:17:56 Honey, honey, honey.
00:17:57 Move to the right.
00:17:58 Move to the right.
00:17:59 Move to the right.
00:18:00 Not the other way.
00:18:01 Other way.
00:18:02 Becker's at it again.
00:18:03 Even, Vic.
00:18:05 Luther?
00:18:06 Everybody's going to really miss Blair this year.
00:18:08 Old Block's been talking about it.
00:18:09 How's she doing?
00:18:10 She's doing just fine.
00:18:12 Thanks for asking.
00:18:13 How's your family?
00:18:14 In great spirits.
00:18:15 We're putting up decorations tonight.
00:18:18 Wind it tight, Spike.
00:18:23 Looks good, Mama.
00:18:26 It's the greatest time of year, Luther, don't you think?
00:18:29 I couldn't be happier.
00:18:32 You know, it's not going to be the same without Blair here.
00:18:34 Of course not.
00:18:36 [screaming]
00:18:38 [gunshots]
00:18:39 [screaming]
00:18:40 [gunshots]
00:18:41 [screaming]
00:18:42 [laughing]
00:18:43 Oh, give me a hand.
00:18:44 Give me a hand.
00:18:45 Give me a hand.
00:18:46 Give me a hand.
00:18:47 [gunshots]
00:18:48 You know, there's certain things around here
00:18:50 that I'm going to miss at Christmas.
00:18:53 So you're really skipping out.
00:18:56 You got it.
00:18:59 Somehow, it just doesn't seem right.
00:19:01 Well, it's really not up to you to decide, is it?
00:19:04 But I got to tell you, a lot of the neighbors
00:19:06 are pretty upset, really.
00:19:08 Christmas has always been a neighborhood thing around here.
00:19:10 You know that.
00:19:11 Yeah.
00:19:12 Everybody decorates.
00:19:13 Everybody bakes cookies and swaps gifts.
00:19:17 I guess we do it for the kids.
00:19:19 It's not going to make me feel guilty.
00:19:20 Get off of it.
00:19:21 And you know what else?
00:19:22 I'd appreciate it if you and everyone else around here
00:19:25 would just respect my wishes.
00:19:27 Whatever you say, Luther.
00:19:28 Yeah.
00:19:29 Huh.
00:19:35 [sighs]
00:19:36 [clears throat]
00:19:40 Weather should be clear tomorrow.
00:19:43 Perfect time to put up Frosty.
00:19:47 [door creaks]
00:19:50 [chuckles]
00:19:52 Tell you what, truth is, if I'm gone, I'm--
00:19:55 [sighs]
00:19:58 Vic?
00:19:59 Vic?
00:20:07 Frosty is a Christmas tradition.
00:20:10 Frosty is a Christmas decoration.
00:20:13 And I will not be told by Vic Frohmeyer
00:20:15 that I have to decorate my house for Christmas.
00:20:19 Why won't you put up Frosty?
00:20:22 It's the principal thing, Nora.
00:20:24 Do you understand?
00:20:25 We could forget about Christmas if we damn well choose.
00:20:28 It's way out--
00:20:29 And nobody, not even Vic Frohmeyer, can stop us.
00:20:32 I will not be forced into doing this.
00:20:35 [music playing]
00:20:38 [singing]
00:20:41 Hey, what a bright time, it's the right time
00:20:46 to rock the night away.
00:20:48 Hi, Nora.
00:20:49 Morning, Bev.
00:20:50 Hi, Walt.
00:20:51 Hey, Nora!
00:20:52 [music playing]
00:20:55 To go glad again--
00:20:56 [cat meows]
00:20:57 [cat meows]
00:21:00 It was an accident.
00:21:01 [cat meows]
00:21:03 Hey, Walt, why don't you put that cat of yours on a leash?
00:21:05 Only dogs wear leashes, old man.
00:21:08 Think you can run away from Christmas, huh?
00:21:12 I'm trying to.
00:21:13 I guess it's a good way to save money.
00:21:16 It's not about the money.
00:21:18 Yeah, sure.
00:21:19 Muffles, be polite.
00:21:22 Will you two ever be friends?
00:21:24 You know, I'd like to say yes, but--
00:21:27 [cat meows]
00:21:29 How you feeling today, Bev?
00:21:34 Have my good days and bad days.
00:21:36 Today's a good day.
00:21:38 I'm glad to hear that.
00:21:40 Come have your breakfast, dear.
00:21:43 I got to get to work.
00:21:45 Still working for the man, huh?
00:21:47 As a matter of fact, it is a man I work for.
00:21:50 Thought they would have made you a partner by now.
00:21:52 [music playing]
00:21:55 I got to get to work.
00:21:57 Well, have a good one, old man.
00:21:59 [music playing]
00:22:02 What?
00:22:04 One snowball with a little yellow spot on it.
00:22:07 Just skim the top of that little head of his.
00:22:11 Old man.
00:22:12 Bah, humbug.
00:22:20 Good morning, Mr. Scrooge.
00:22:21 Morning, Docs.
00:22:27 Do I have any messages?
00:22:28 Walmart called.
00:22:29 Said I had to buy my own cheap perfume since Santa
00:22:31 Claus isn't coming this year.
00:22:34 Ha, ha, ha, funny.
00:22:37 Nora, Frank, we're here for Frosty.
00:22:41 [phone ringing]
00:22:50 Hello.
00:22:51 Luther.
00:22:52 Hey, babe.
00:22:53 They're here.
00:22:54 Who?
00:22:55 Vic Fromeyer, Wes Troft, and Ned Becker,
00:22:57 and a gang of their kids.
00:22:59 We're here for Frosty.
00:23:01 They want Frosty.
00:23:02 Well, they can't have him.
00:23:04 Nora, please give us Frosty.
00:23:07 Oh.
00:23:09 Um, honey, where is Frosty?
00:23:12 He's down behind the furnace.
00:23:13 Why?
00:23:14 They won't go away.
00:23:15 Well, don't give them Frosty.
00:23:17 You and Luther do not have to do anything.
00:23:20 Just leave Frosty on the front porch.
00:23:23 We'll put him up for you.
00:23:25 They said they'll put him up for us.
00:23:27 Absolutely not.
00:23:28 Oh, boy, Miss Luther.
00:23:29 No.
00:23:30 Luther.
00:23:31 We'll come back later.
00:23:33 And Frosty better be here.
00:23:36 Oh, they're going to come back.
00:23:38 What's the deal?
00:23:39 You're panicking on the phone in a locked house.
00:23:41 And the neighbors are going door to door
00:23:43 to set up a ridiculous 7-foot tall snowman.
00:23:48 Oh, oh, sure, easy for you to say.
00:23:51 Miles away in the safety of your office.
00:23:54 Yeah, well--
00:23:55 I am the one trapped here.
00:23:56 I am the one dealing with this.
00:23:58 All right, all right, all right, I agree.
00:23:59 So maybe it's time that you, um, left the neighborhood.
00:24:02 Oh, sure, honey, and how do you think I'm going to do that?
00:24:05 The street is blocked with all of our neighbors.
00:24:08 Walk to the garage, get in the car, start it,
00:24:10 drive to the mall, I'll meet you at O'Leary's.
00:24:13 Do it.
00:24:14 Do it now.
00:24:15 You can do this.
00:24:16 Don't put--
00:24:17 No!

00:24:30 Hi, Mrs. Frank!
00:24:48 Nora!
00:24:49 [laughter]
00:24:52 Vic, she's leaving!
00:24:53 [tires screeching]
00:24:55 [whimpering]
00:24:56 What's she doing?
00:24:58 I'm-- I'm so sorry.
00:25:00 Sorry!
00:25:01 [music playing]
00:25:04 Sorry!
00:25:07 Nora?
00:25:08 Nora, stop the car.
00:25:10 Stop the car.
00:25:11 Please, listen, hey, don't do anything you'll regret.
00:25:14 Now, please, indulge me for a second.
00:25:16 Nora!
00:25:17 Nora, stop the car.
00:25:18 Talk to me, Nora.
00:25:19 Give us Frosty.
00:25:21 Stop the car.
00:25:22 Stop the car, Nora.
00:25:23 Stop the car, Nora, please.
00:25:25 We just want Frosty.
00:25:28 Talk to me, Nora, please.
00:25:30 Indulge me for a second.
00:25:31 Stop.

00:25:46 [music playing]
00:25:50 It's us women who handle Christmas, not men.
00:25:54 I am the one taking the brunt for your harebrained scheme.
00:25:57 I am the one on the front lines.
00:25:59 I have a surprise for you.
00:26:04 Shut your eyes.
00:26:05 [whimpering]
00:26:06 All right, open them.
00:26:12 Honey, is this some kind of joke?
00:26:18 I don't know.
00:26:19 I got one, too.
00:26:20 What do you think?
00:26:21 A woman's bathing suit?
00:26:23 Probably belongs with that.
00:26:25 Nope, I got my own.
00:26:27 Look at that, huh?
00:26:29 A little cliff diver thing.
00:26:32 There's no way we are wearing these on this cruise.
00:26:36 These aren't for the cruise.
00:26:38 You know what's odd?
00:26:43 It's when an Irish pub serves fish tacos.
00:26:46 I don't get that.
00:26:48 And I got a little heartburn, and I don't think
00:26:50 I'm going to do that again.
00:26:51 Here it is right here.
00:26:52 Come on, come on.
00:26:54 Follow me, and don't mention her eyes.
00:26:56 Hello, Mr. Crank.
00:26:57 Hi, Daisy.
00:26:59 This is my wife, Nora.
00:27:00 Hello.
00:27:03 Um, I really don't want to do this.
00:27:05 Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:27:07 I got a great deal, $60, 12 visits.
00:27:10 Why would we get a tan before the cruise?
00:27:12 I thought the whole point was to get a tan during the cruise.
00:27:15 Look at our skin.
00:27:16 We kind of look like uncooked chicken.
00:27:19 You look like a corpse.
00:27:22 And you could use a little help yourself.
00:27:25 Thank you.
00:27:26 Oh, dear God, this should be outlawed.
00:27:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:27:37 OK, calm down.
00:27:48 Whoa.
00:27:55 Ow.
00:27:56 Ow.
00:27:58 Ow.
00:27:59 Excuse me.
00:28:00 Ow.
00:28:01 Ow.
00:28:03 Oh.
00:28:04 Oh.
00:28:05 Oh.
00:28:06 Oh.
00:28:08 Excuse me.
00:28:09 Excuse me.
00:28:10 Hello?
00:28:11 Hello?
00:28:12 Hello?
00:28:13 Hello?
00:28:14 I need a Band-Aid.
00:28:15 Nora Crank?
00:28:16 Father Zabriskie.
00:28:21 Hello.
00:28:22 What are you doing here?
00:28:24 It's a mall, Nora.
00:28:25 I'm Christmas shopping.
00:28:27 Of course you are.
00:28:29 Are you OK, Nora?
00:28:31 Yes, sort of.
00:28:33 You're bleeding.
00:28:34 Oh, yes.
00:28:35 It's just a scratch.
00:28:36 Just-- could I get another towel, please?
00:28:38 I'm looking for a Band-Aid.
00:28:40 Jeez, lady, make up your mind.
00:28:42 Uh, Nora, I hear it from a good source
00:28:51 that you and Luther have decided not
00:28:54 to observe Christmas this year.
00:28:57 [whimpering]
00:28:59 Yeah, sort of.
00:29:01 Um, Father Zabriskie, Luther and I are fine.
00:29:05 Everything is fine, and everything is completely normal.
00:29:09 The tenant says you were bleeding.
00:29:11 Are you all right, Luther?
00:29:13 Hey there.
00:29:14 Uh, oh, Father Zabriskie, um, ha.
00:29:18 Hey.
00:29:19 Nora.
00:29:22 We've made the front page.
00:29:24 We've made the front page.
00:29:27 Check it out.
00:29:28 Hold on.
00:29:29 Skipping Christmas?
00:29:35 Yep.
00:29:36 The home of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Crank
00:29:38 is rather dark this Christmas.
00:29:39 While the rest of their neighbors on Hemlock Street
00:29:41 are decorating and busily preparing for Santa,
00:29:43 the Cranks are skipping Christmas.
00:29:45 They're preparing for a cruise, according to undamed sources.
00:29:49 No tree, no lights, and no frosty snow.
00:29:52 No tree, no lights, and no frosty up on the roof
00:29:54 and the only house on Hemlock to keep frosty
00:29:56 hidden in the basement?
00:29:57 How do they know where frosty is?
00:29:59 They have spies everywhere.
00:30:01 Hemlock, a frequent winner in the Gazette Street
00:30:04 decoration contest, finished a disappointing sixth this year.
00:30:07 I hope they're satisfied now, complained
00:30:09 one unidentified neighbor.
00:30:11 A rotten display of selfishness said another.
00:30:15 Who said that?
00:30:16 Could have been anybody.
00:30:17 How dare they?
00:30:19 What a bunch of losers.
00:30:22 You know what, Luther?
00:30:24 You know, I don't think I'm coming back from this cruise.
00:30:28 Atta girl.
00:30:29 Two more days and we're out of here.
00:30:31 Two more, baby.
00:30:33 Jerk.
00:30:35 [chatter]
00:30:38 Hey, that's mine.
00:30:40 [chatter]
00:30:43 Sorry I'm late.
00:30:45 What's wrong?
00:30:47 It's Bev Shield.
00:30:50 [chatter]
00:30:54 She went for a checkup yesterday.
00:30:57 The cancer's back for the third time.
00:30:59 Has it spread?
00:31:01 I think so.
00:31:02 Oh, that's lovely.
00:31:04 This could be her last Christmas.
00:31:06 Sweet.
00:31:08 [chatter]
00:31:11 [car engine]
00:31:14 [music playing]
00:31:17 [thud]
00:31:20 [car screech]
00:31:23 Well, if it isn't old Scrooge himself.
00:31:28 How do you think this photographer got the shot?
00:31:30 What photographer?
00:31:31 The one that took this photograph.
00:31:33 Oh, that one.
00:31:34 Yeah, that one.
00:31:35 Well, he climbed up.
00:31:37 On your roof?
00:31:39 Yeah.
00:31:40 Well, why did you do that?
00:31:42 I don't know.
00:31:44 He said he wanted to get a shot of the whole street.
00:31:46 At least you're consistent.
00:31:52 I try to be, old man.
00:31:54 Stop that.
00:31:55 Stop what?
00:31:56 Stop calling me old man.
00:31:58 You're like 10 years older than me.
00:32:00 Am I?
00:32:01 Yeah.
00:32:02 Well, prove it.
00:32:03 Walt?
00:32:05 I just heard about Bev.
00:32:08 I'm so sorry.
00:32:11 How's she doing?
00:32:13 Remarkably well.
00:32:14 You know, in good spirits.
00:32:15 Decorating the house, baking cookies.
00:32:17 Sure.
00:32:18 If there's anything we can do, let me know.
00:32:21 Thanks.
00:32:22 I really appreciate that.
00:32:24 [music playing]
00:32:31 (SINGING) I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
00:32:42 just like the ones I used to know,
00:32:50 where the treetops glisten and children
00:32:58 listen to yips, play bells.
00:33:04 [doorbell]
00:33:05 They're here for Frosty.
00:33:06 No.
00:33:12 [doorbell]
00:33:13 I'll get it.
00:33:18 Thank you.
00:33:19 Hey, good evening, Mr. Crank.
00:33:26 Good evening, officers.
00:33:28 Well, Mr. Crank, it's that time of year again.
00:33:30 Your police benevolent association
00:33:32 is out there raising money for the community.
00:33:34 Oh, that's great.
00:33:35 You know, toys for tots.
00:33:37 And we deliver gift baskets for the underprivileged
00:33:39 and ice skating for the handicapped kids.
00:33:42 And every year, we deliver presents for the elderly
00:33:44 at the nursing homes and, of course, our war veterans.
00:33:48 And our big money maker is our calendar.
00:33:50 And you buy one every year.
00:33:52 So here we are.
00:33:54 We don't need a calendar this year.
00:33:56 What a jerk.
00:34:04 He said he didn't need one.
00:34:07 Well, thank you for your contribution.
00:34:10 Merry Christmas.
00:34:11 Yeah, Merry Christmas.
00:34:12 Good luck with it, huh?
00:34:22 Merry Christmas.
00:34:23 Yeah, well, Merry Christmas.
00:34:25 We're from St. Maria's Lutheran Church out caroling.
00:34:28 Are those folks home?
00:34:30 Yes, they are.
00:34:32 Are they Jewish?
00:34:34 No.
00:34:35 Buddhist or anything?
00:34:37 No, no, none of that.
00:34:38 They're just trying to avoid Christmas this year.
00:34:42 Do what?
00:34:43 You heard me.
00:34:44 He's kind of weird.
00:34:46 Skipping Christmas so he can save his money for a cruise.
00:34:49 Oh, no.
00:34:50 I think some Christmas cheer would do them good.
00:34:53 Really?
00:34:54 Yeah, why don't you go ahead?
00:34:55 All righty then.
00:34:57 Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh
00:35:03 O'er the fields we go laughing all the way
00:35:07 Bells on bobtails ring making spirits bright
00:35:11 What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
00:35:15 Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:35:20 Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

00:35:32 A day or two ago
00:35:34 This is fun.
00:35:35 I thought I'd take a ride
00:35:37 And soon this fanny ride
00:35:39 Christmas carolers right out next to her junipers.
00:35:42 Oh, how lovely.
00:35:45 It's not lovely. They're trespassing.
00:35:47 Somebody set us up.
00:35:49 Trespassing?
00:35:50 Yes, they are.
00:35:51 They're on our property.
00:35:52 They weren't invited.
00:35:53 Somebody told them to come.
00:35:55 Sheil or Frommard.
00:35:57 Christmas carolers are not trespassers.
00:36:00 I know what I'm talking about here.
00:36:02 Well, why don't you have them arrested then?
00:36:04 Hm, I just may do that.
00:36:05 Yeah, call your friends down at the police department.
00:36:08 Well, that's funny.
00:36:10 Not too late to end up.
00:36:12 Bye, Kelly.
00:36:14 This isn't a joke.
00:36:15 This is military.
00:36:16 This is seal stuff.
00:36:17 It's not on Discovery Channel.
00:36:19 What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

00:40:06 I got a Botox injection today.
00:40:09 Botox treatment?
00:40:11 Botox. They take a big needle, and they inject it into your forehead,
00:40:14 and it freezes your face like this.
00:40:16 I read it in a health magazine.
00:40:18 And how long are you gonna be like this?
00:40:20 Well, this is temporary.
00:40:22 And then, you got all your wrinkles are gone.

00:40:33 Luther, I can't live like this anymore.
00:40:38 Huh?
00:40:40 We can't go out.
00:40:42 Everywhere we go, people are whispering behind our backs.
00:40:45 I can't go home.
00:40:47 It's too depressing.

00:40:55 I can't talk to you.
00:40:58 You're just consumed with yourself.

00:41:03 Look how far you've gone.
00:41:05 Amazing.
00:41:06 I mean, turning our lawn into an ice rink.
00:41:08 I can't feel anything.
00:41:09 I mean, somebody could have broken their leg or their neck.
00:41:11 I mean, you could have put one of those carolers in the hospital.

00:42:21 Goodbye, Spike.
00:42:24 You're a genius.
00:42:25 Thank you.
00:42:26 [phone ringing]
00:42:30 [growls]
00:42:31 All right, Frosty's dead.
00:42:36 What?
00:42:37 Dad, is that you?
00:42:38 Wait a minute.
00:42:39 Ler?
00:42:40 Yeah.
00:42:41 Hi.
00:42:42 Ler?
00:42:43 No, that was the door.
00:42:44 I thought that was somebody from work.
00:42:45 Your mom's getting on the other line,
00:42:46 and then we both have something very fun to tell you.
00:42:48 Ler?
00:42:49 Hi, Mommy.
00:42:50 [screams]
00:42:52 Oh, my God, it's Mommy!
00:42:54 How are you?
00:42:55 Where are you?
00:42:56 I'm in Miami, and I'm coming home for Christmas.
00:42:58 What?
00:42:59 Are you guys surprised?
00:43:00 I'm stunned.
00:43:01 Surprised.
00:43:02 We landed about an hour ago.
00:43:04 Oh, that's great!
00:43:05 What do you mean, "we"?
00:43:07 Well, I have another wonderful surprise.
00:43:09 Oh, yeah?
00:43:10 What is it?
00:43:11 I'm with Enrique.
00:43:12 What's a "re-kay"?
00:43:14 Enrique.
00:43:15 Well, he's a doctor.
00:43:16 We went to Brown together.
00:43:18 You guys met him a couple of times at my dorms
00:43:20 and at my graduation.
00:43:21 Of course.
00:43:22 I don't remember.
00:43:23 He's Peruvian.
00:43:24 Oh, great, a communist.
00:43:26 Honey.
00:43:27 Sometimes we called him Rick.
00:43:29 Rick?
00:43:30 Rick, the guy that you went down there to shack up with?
00:43:32 He lived in a separate hut, Dad.
00:43:34 Ah, schmutz, I want to see some pictures to prove that.
00:43:37 We've been friends for years, and he's just so wonderful.
00:43:40 We fell in love while working together, and...
00:43:43 He's asked me to marry him.
00:43:45 What?
00:43:46 And I really want to.
00:43:49 [screams]
00:43:51 Oh, honey!
00:43:53 Enrique has always gone home for the holidays,
00:43:55 so he's never celebrated Christmas in America.
00:43:57 He's so excited.
00:43:58 I told him all about Christmas there--
00:44:00 the tree, the decorations, Frosty up on the roof, everything.
00:44:04 Is it snowing, Daddy?
00:44:06 Enrique has never seen a white Christmas.
00:44:08 No, but I sense a storm coming.
00:44:10 Okay, when do you land?
00:44:12 When do you get in?
00:44:13 Oh, we land at 8.03.
00:44:15 Tonight?
00:44:16 Yes, tonight, just in time for our big Christmas Eve party.
00:44:20 You are having the party, aren't you, Mom?
00:44:23 Of course we are!
00:44:26 Oh, great!
00:44:28 Oh, Mom, you are going to love Enrique.
00:44:30 He wants to have a house full of kids.
00:44:32 Oh, honey!
00:44:34 Oh, Mom, I can't wait to be home.
00:44:36 Pretty neat surprise, huh?
00:44:38 I am speechless, and your father is probably overwhelmed.
00:44:44 Great. I love you, Mommy.
00:44:46 Oh, I love you too, honey. Safe flight.
00:44:48 Okay, I'll see you later.
00:44:50 [cheering]
00:44:54 She should have called sooner.
00:44:56 But she didn't, honey.
00:44:58 Why did you tell her we're going to have that party?
00:45:00 Because we are.
00:45:02 Oh, I need my vest.
00:45:04 I need my vest. I need my vest.
00:45:06 I don't know who's coming to the party or what they're going to eat when they get here,
00:45:09 but we're having a party.
00:45:11 What about our trip?
00:45:12 Oh, don't even start with me.
00:45:14 This was all your stupid idea.
00:45:17 Stupid idea?
00:45:19 Five minutes ago, I was a genius.
00:45:21 Yeah, well, now you're an idiot.
00:45:23 How does one call change so much?
00:45:25 No, don't dwell on the past, island boy.
00:45:27 We're having a party.
00:45:28 Cheese, wine, and Blarry's favorite, hickory honey ham.
00:45:31 Well, who's going to come to this party?
00:45:33 I haven't gotten that far yet.
00:45:34 You're in charge of the tree.
00:45:35 We don't have a tree.
00:45:36 Well, get one and put it up,
00:45:38 and then I want you to get your little brown butt down to the basement and put up frosting.
00:45:41 No!
00:45:42 Yes!
00:45:43 No!
00:45:44 Yes!
00:45:45 And if we pull it off,
00:45:46 Blarry is never going to know about your stupid, ridiculous, childish scheme of skipping Christmas.
00:45:53 Hey, I'm sorry about this little ugly bush.
00:46:13 Merry Christmas, Mr. Craig.
00:46:15 It is, isn't it?
00:46:16 Duke Scanlon.
00:46:17 Hi, Duke.
00:46:18 The same guy who brought you that beautiful Canadian blue spruce a few weeks back.
00:46:21 Okay, great.
00:46:22 It was a great--
00:46:23 Merry Christmas to you.
00:46:24 You know what?
00:46:25 I need another blue spruce just like that.
00:46:26 I really need a tree right now.
00:46:27 What do you got left?
00:46:28 Just one.
00:46:33 Whoa, you know what?
00:46:36 I like it.
00:46:37 I'll take that.
00:46:38 Really?
00:46:40 Yeah.
00:46:41 How much is it?
00:46:42 75 bucks.
00:46:43 It says 15 right there.
00:46:44 Yeah, supply and demand.
00:46:46 It's kind of a rip-off, isn't it?
00:46:48 The scouts could sure use your 75-dollar donation for their camporee, Mr. Craig.
00:46:53 Hey, what do you guys say I give you 25 dollars?
00:46:56 75 bucks.
00:46:57 Take it or leave it.
00:46:59 Yours?
00:47:01 Wait!
00:47:06 [♪♪♪]
00:47:08 [GRUNTS]
00:47:24 [♪♪♪]
00:47:26 Hey, Wes.
00:47:38 Hey, Luke. Merry Christmas.
00:47:40 Hey, Merry Christmas to you too, man.
00:47:42 I'm in a little bit of a bind.
00:47:43 I'm not going to be at my in-laws by 5.
00:47:45 I should have been on the road two hours ago.
00:47:47 Let me give you a hand.
00:47:49 This won't take long.
00:47:50 Listen to me.
00:47:51 My plans have changed.
00:47:52 I got a call from Blair.
00:47:53 She's coming home.
00:47:54 Tonight.
00:47:56 [LAUGHS]
00:47:58 So what are you going to do about the cruise?
00:48:02 I don't know.
00:48:03 I can't seem to find a Christmas tree, though.
00:48:05 Yeah, so?
00:48:06 Can I borrow yours?
00:48:10 Well, we gotta go.
00:48:13 Be right there, Z.
00:48:14 You want my tree?
00:48:15 Yeah, and I can get it back in your house before you return.
00:48:18 That's ridiculous.
00:48:19 But I don't have a choice.
00:48:21 Everyone else around here is going to need their tree
00:48:23 tonight and tomorrow.
00:48:25 Serious, aren't you?
00:48:26 Dead serious.
00:48:28 Trish wouldn't like it.
00:48:30 Trish doesn't have to know.
00:48:31 Hey, Trish.
00:48:32 Hi, Luther.
00:48:33 Honey, we've got to go.
00:48:35 Yeah, he-- he just saying Merry Christmas.
00:48:37 Please.
00:48:41 Look.
00:48:46 You break one ornament, we're both dead.
00:48:48 I will leave it just like I found it.
00:48:50 I appreciate this.
00:48:51 I really do.
00:48:52 [LAUGHS]
00:48:53 This is funny, you know?
00:48:54 Why am I not laughing?
00:48:55 Free Frosty!
00:48:56 Free Frosty!
00:48:57 Gotta go.
00:48:58 Thanks.
00:48:59 Free Frosty!
00:49:00 Free Frosty!
00:49:01 Free Frosty!
00:49:02 Free Frosty!
00:49:03 Free Frosty!
00:49:04 Free Frosty!
00:49:05 Free Frosty!
00:49:06 Hey, guys.
00:49:07 Hey, guys, I'm sitting right over here.
00:49:09 [YELLING]
00:49:10 [YELLING]
00:49:11 Wait, wait, wait.
00:49:12 Come here.
00:49:13 Wait, wait.
00:49:14 Come here.
00:49:15 Come on.
00:49:16 She's going to talk to you, Spike.
00:49:18 Spike!
00:49:20 [GRUNTING]
00:49:21 Ow, let me go!
00:49:24 Bad little elf.
00:49:25 Stop squirming around.
00:49:26 Stop it.
00:49:27 Get off!
00:49:28 Don't hit me.
00:49:29 Spike.
00:49:30 It was all just a joke.
00:49:31 The Frosty sign, the phone calls.
00:49:32 I know, I know, I know.
00:49:33 I'm not going to hurt you.
00:49:34 I'm not going to hit you.
00:49:35 But you do owe me.
00:49:38 Well, I got to 20.
00:49:40 I don't want your money.
00:49:43 I need a little help.
00:49:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49:48 That is one huge tree.
00:50:05 It reminds me of this tree my dad got once.
00:50:07 That's interesting.
00:50:08 Here's the plan.
00:50:09 Let's take the real delicate ones and put them on the sofa.
00:50:11 Is this against the law?
00:50:12 Of course not.
00:50:13 Just don't break anything.
00:50:15 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:50:18 Spike!
00:50:32 That's invaluable.
00:50:33 Yeah?
00:50:34 What's it say on there?
00:50:36 Baby's first Christmas.
00:50:39 Perfect!
00:50:40 [PHONE RINGING]
00:50:43 Yeah, hello?
00:50:44 Hey, Walt.
00:50:45 Ned here.
00:50:46 Merry Christmas, Ned.
00:50:47 Merry Christmas, Walt.
00:50:49 Say, I'm watching the Trogdon's house.
00:50:52 It appears as if Frank has lost his mind.
00:50:55 How's that?
00:50:56 He's stealing their Christmas tree.
00:50:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:51:01 Hello?
00:51:02 Excuse me.
00:51:03 I am looking for a ham, a hickory honey ham.
00:51:06 If there are any left, they'll be back there.
00:51:09 Thank you very much.
00:51:10 Merry Christmas.
00:51:11 Merry Christmas.
00:51:12 Excuse me.
00:51:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:51:39 [SCREAMING]
00:51:42 Happy holidays.
00:51:48 Are you sure this isn't illegal?
00:51:54 Are you a cop?
00:51:55 Come on.
00:51:56 [SCREAMING]
00:52:05 Can I buy your ham?
00:52:08 Pardon?
00:52:09 Your ham.
00:52:10 You see, it's the last one.
00:52:11 And my daughter, Blair, see, she's
00:52:13 coming home all the way from Peru.
00:52:15 And hickory honey hams are her absolute favorite.
00:52:18 And I'd like to buy it from you.
00:52:20 No, it's not for sale.
00:52:22 But-- but-- but she's in the Peace Corps.
00:52:26 And I'd be willing to pay anything above sticker price.
00:52:31 No, no.
00:52:32 We're not in--
00:52:35 You know, it's never too early to start
00:52:38 thinking about putting away a little something
00:52:40 for your child's college education.
00:52:42 Got it?
00:52:47 Come around here.
00:52:56 I want you to steer.
00:52:57 I'll hold the back, all right?
00:52:58 You steer it. All right.
00:52:59 Ready?
00:53:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:53:03 Spike!
00:53:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:53:07 [SIREN]
00:53:10 Hello, Mr. Crank.
00:53:21 Hey, fellas.
00:53:22 Where are you going with that tree?
00:53:27 Spike and I are just taking it to my house.
00:53:30 Spike?
00:53:31 Yeah.
00:53:32 The kid, Spike.
00:53:34 Spike, uh-- did he just run that way?
00:53:40 No.
00:53:41 That's weird.
00:53:43 Is this an imaginary friend?
00:53:45 No.
00:53:46 [HONKING]
00:53:53 Merry Christmas!

00:54:30 No!
00:54:31 No.
00:54:32 No.
00:54:33 [INAUDIBLE]
00:54:36 Should have bought a calendar.
00:54:39 Gonna need it where you're going.
00:54:41 [KNOCKING]
00:54:42 Hm?
00:54:43 Who do you want?
00:54:49 It's me, Spike Fromeyer.
00:54:51 Uh, you know, Vic's kid.
00:54:53 Oh, yeah.
00:54:54 If he says Traug didn't loan him the tree,
00:54:56 then he's telling the truth.
00:54:58 Here's the key.
00:54:59 It's not a burglary.
00:55:00 Key.
00:55:04 Scram, Crank.
00:55:09 Thanks, Spike.
00:55:17 I was kind of scared in there.
00:55:19 You'll be all right.
00:55:21 Try to relax, will you, Luther?
00:55:24 OK.
00:55:26 Get the tree.
00:55:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:55:30 Hm.
00:55:32 Mm-hmm.
00:55:33 [GASPING]
00:55:35 What happened?
00:55:37 I lowed the car.
00:55:39 What's wrong?
00:55:40 Nobody's coming.
00:55:41 I've called everybody we know.
00:55:42 They're all busy.
00:55:43 We're gonna have to start inviting the neighbors.
00:55:45 For my dead body.
00:55:46 How's the tree?
00:55:47 Oh, well.
00:55:48 It's a disaster.
00:55:54 Take it or leave it.
00:55:56 The little icicles in the Chicago Bear ornament
00:55:59 and popcorn, honey, those aren't mine.
00:56:01 Mm.
00:56:02 Smoked trout.
00:56:03 Better than frozen pizza.
00:56:06 What happened to the hickory honey ham?
00:56:09 Don't ever say hickory honey ham again.
00:56:16 Mm.
00:56:17 [PHONE RINGING]
00:56:20 Hello?
00:56:21 Blair!
00:56:22 Hi, honey.
00:56:23 Hi.
00:56:24 I'd like to talk to her.
00:56:25 I'm gonna send her back to Peru.
00:56:26 You're in Atlanta?
00:56:27 Wow.
00:56:28 Yeah, no, no.
00:56:29 We're just busy cooking away here,
00:56:30 getting ready for the party.
00:56:32 Well, of course I'm making caramel cream pie,
00:56:34 your favorite.
00:56:37 Daddy and I will be there at 8 o'clock to pick you up.
00:56:39 OK, honey.
00:56:40 I can't wait to see you, too.
00:56:41 I love you.
00:56:42 Bye.
00:56:43 [GASPING]
00:56:45 It's 4:30.
00:56:46 I need two pounds of caramel and a jar of marshmallow cream.
00:56:49 The liquor store closes at 5, and they're holding
00:56:51 a case of Pinot Noir for me.
00:56:52 A case of wine for the four of us.
00:56:53 Shut up, Luther.
00:56:54 How long is it gonna take you to put up Frosty?
00:56:56 Three days.
00:56:57 Great.
00:56:58 When you finish putting up Frosty,
00:56:59 I want you to call all the neighbors
00:57:00 and invite them to the party.
00:57:01 What party?
00:57:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:57:04 [TIRES SCREECHING]
00:57:06 (SINGING) Frosty the snowman was a happy, jolly soul
00:57:12 with a corncob pipe and a button nose
00:57:16 and two eyes made out of coal.
00:57:20 Frosty the snowman was a fairy tale they say.
00:57:26 He was made of snow, but the children
00:57:29 know how he came to life.
00:57:32 Frosty the snowman.
00:57:35 Frosty the snowman.
00:57:37 [CHATTER]
00:57:39 Merry Christmas, Nora.
00:57:47 Merry Christmas to you, too.
00:57:50 Why are you out running around?
00:57:52 Oh, just picking up last minute stuff, you.
00:57:55 Picking up some stuff, a few things.
00:57:59 Huh.
00:58:01 Big party tomorrow.
00:58:03 Oh, no, actually, it's tonight.
00:58:05 My daughter's coming back from South America.
00:58:07 And, you know, we're just throwing her a little party.
00:58:10 She's bringing her new boyfriend.
00:58:12 Blair.
00:58:13 [KISS]
00:58:14 [CLEARS THROAT]
00:58:15 Yes.
00:58:16 Would you like to come?
00:58:24 You mean that?
00:58:27 Absolutely.
00:58:28 I mean, it's just drop in.
00:58:30 What time?
00:58:31 Ah, 8.30.
00:58:34 You're on hemlock.
00:58:35 Yes, 14.82.
00:58:38 Thank you.
00:58:39 Yes, thank you.
00:58:40 Thanks.
00:58:44 Who are you?
00:58:47 Not a clue.
00:58:48 You get heavier every year.
00:59:00 Up here.
00:59:01 Come on.
00:59:02 Come on.
00:59:03 [GRUNTING]
00:59:04 [GASPS]
00:59:05 [GROANS]
00:59:06 I see Frosty.
00:59:22 Hey, kids.
00:59:23 Guys.
00:59:24 Mr. Crank is putting up his Frosty.
00:59:26 Let's go.
00:59:31 [GASPS]
00:59:32 Uh.
00:59:33 What?
00:59:34 Oh, no.
00:59:35 Eh.
00:59:37 Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:59:40 Come on.
00:59:41 Up there.
00:59:42 Perfect.
00:59:43 Good evening, Gopher.
00:59:48 Hey.
00:59:49 Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:59:51 You need some help, buddy?
00:59:53 [GRUNTS]
00:59:54 No.
00:59:55 Loser, loser.
00:59:56 Hold on.
00:59:57 Hold on.
00:59:59 Balance your balance!
01:00:01 - Yeah.
01:00:01 - Easy! Easy!
01:00:05 - Ah!
01:00:06 - Careful!
01:00:07 - Cool.
01:00:08 - Careful, Luther!
01:00:09 - You're gonna go back that way.
01:00:16 Oh.
01:00:17 (chuckles)
01:00:19 (dramatic music)
01:00:22 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:00:25 Oh, no!
01:00:26 Oh!
01:00:27 (screaming)
01:00:30 (glass shattering)
01:00:38 (screaming)
01:00:40 (screaming)
01:00:44 - You okay?
01:00:46 - Swole, Vic.
01:00:49 Thanks, how about you?
01:00:50 - I called 911, they're on the way.
01:00:53 - Thanks, Walt.
01:00:53 - Yeah, that made me.
01:00:55 (chuckles)
01:00:58 - Poor Frosty.
01:01:04 - Poor Frosty, my eye.
01:01:06 - Luther!
01:01:07 - He's okay!
01:01:09 - Oh, maybe he should just let me drop.
01:01:11 Let me fall.
01:01:12 - Luther!
01:01:13 - He's all right, Nora.
01:01:14 - What on earth are you doing?
01:01:16 Are you okay?
01:01:17 - Ah, actually it was a suicide attempt.
01:01:19 Apparently I misread the instructions.
01:01:21 Put my leg to sleep, though.
01:01:22 - He was up there by himself.
01:01:24 - I'm fine, though.
01:01:25 - I'm trying to put up your Frosty, all right?
01:01:28 - Oh, sweet, but here they come.
01:01:29 - Here come the pros.
01:01:30 Guys, go on ahead.
01:01:32 (tires screeching)
01:01:33 - Hold on, I guess you can't, can you?
01:01:36 Hurry up!
01:01:37 - Here, I'll be all right.
01:01:39 Move away, let these guys handle it.
01:01:41 Thanks, guys.
01:01:42 Just a little problem with the rope.
01:01:43 Just untie it.
01:01:44 Okay, get a ladder, that would be helpful,
01:01:46 but I don't know.
01:01:47 - Yeah, yeah.
01:01:48 - What are you gonna do with those clippers, guys?
01:01:51 - Got 'em?
01:01:52 - Huh?
01:01:53 (gunshots)
01:01:54 (crowd gasps)
01:01:56 - Luther, are you okay?
01:01:58 - Yo!
01:01:58 (siren blaring)
01:01:59 Yo, dudes, over here!
01:02:01 (siren blaring)
01:02:01 - Oh, yeah, that's good.
01:02:03 - Over here, man, yeah.
01:02:04 Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:02:06 Whoa, jeez.
01:02:07 - Get your folks' crew back.
01:02:09 - What's going on here?
01:02:10 - Luther here was up on the roof,
01:02:11 putting up Frosty, and then they both fell off.
01:02:14 Coming through.
01:02:15 - Well, I thought you were skipping Christmas
01:02:18 this year, Mr. Crank.
01:02:19 - Yeah, what about that?
01:02:20 What's going on there, Luther?
01:02:22 - Blair's coming home for Christmas.
01:02:24 (crowd gasps)
01:02:25 - Blair's coming home for Christmas.
01:02:27 - She's bringing her boyfriend.
01:02:32 - And she's bringing her boyfriend?
01:02:34 (crowd gasps)
01:02:36 And she expects to see a Christmas tree?
01:02:37 - Yeah.
01:02:38 - And a Frosty?
01:02:39 - Of course.
01:02:40 - And what about the annual Crank's Christmas Eve party?
01:02:43 - That too.
01:02:46 - Okay, when does she get in?
01:02:47 - The plane arrives about eight o'clock.
01:02:49 - Eight?
01:02:50 (crowd gasps)
01:02:53 - All right, people, listen up, gather round.
01:02:56 We're about to have a party here at the Cranks.
01:02:59 A Christmas homecoming for Blair.
01:03:02 Drop what you're doing and pitch in.
01:03:07 Nora, do you have a turkey?
01:03:08 - Uh, smoked trout.
01:03:10 - Smoked trout?
01:03:12 Smoked trout.
01:03:15 (crowd gasps)
01:03:18 Anybody got a turkey?
01:03:19 - We have two, both in the oven.
01:03:21 - Okay, beautiful, get 'em.
01:03:23 Ned, get over to Brick's, please.
01:03:24 Get his Frosty, get some lights, too.
01:03:25 We'll put him along Luther's boxwoods here.
01:03:27 - Hold on, why should we do this for him?
01:03:29 - Yeah.
01:03:30 - Yeah.
01:03:31 - He's a jerk.
01:03:32 - Regardless of how you feel about Luther,
01:03:34 I know a lot of you have mixed feelings about him now,
01:03:36 but we're a community,
01:03:38 and the people in a community stick together,
01:03:40 even if one of them has been behaving,
01:03:42 for most of the holiday season,
01:03:43 like a spoiled, selfish little baby.
01:03:45 We're not doing this for him.
01:03:48 We're doing this for Blair.
01:03:51 Blair, who used to babysit all your kids.
01:03:54 Blair, comes home every summer
01:03:56 and makes us all feel like family.
01:03:57 - Yes, that's right.
01:03:59 - Why should the daughter pay for the sins of the father?
01:04:03 Okay, now, if we even have a hope of pulling this off,
01:04:06 you gotta scatter, get home, grab a change of clothes,
01:04:09 grab all the food you can,
01:04:11 and get over here in half an hour.
01:04:12 - Let's go. - All right, let's go.
01:04:14 - Thank you.
01:04:16 - You're welcome, Nora.
01:04:18 - Guys, better go to the airport.
01:04:21 - Where's that?
01:04:21 - Blair needs a ride home.
01:04:23 - I don't know if we could do that.
01:04:26 - Shall I call the chief?
01:04:30 - We could do that.
01:04:35 (dramatic music)
01:04:40 - Hold the frosting down.
01:04:44 - Easy.
01:04:45 - There you go.
01:04:48 (dramatic music)
01:04:51 - Finally.
01:04:55 There's nothing like a white Christmas.

01:07:07 I'm impressed.
01:07:08 I guess my dad was really generous
01:07:10 with his donation this year.
01:07:13 - Oh, yeah.
01:07:14 You have no idea.
01:07:16 (upbeat music)
01:07:18 - Welcome to the United States.

01:07:53 - A little bit early.
01:07:54 - It's cold out there.
01:07:55 - It is really cold.
01:07:56 - Why don't you go and enjoy yourself.
01:07:58 - Hey, Father Zabriskie, it's so nice to see you again.
01:08:02 - Thank you.
01:08:03 I don't know who he is.
01:08:06 - He brings ham.
01:08:08 - Oh, yeah.
01:08:08 - That's right.
01:08:09 (rock music)
01:08:12 - Why are you driving so slow?
01:08:30 - Icy roads.
01:08:31 Wanna celebrate Christmas under a mistletoe
01:08:33 or in a body bag?

01:08:59 How do you?
01:09:00 - Oh, thanks, Father.
01:09:02 - Robbie, check that bottom spring.
01:09:04 - Yes, sir.
01:09:05 - Hey, fellas, that's good enough.
01:09:06 We don't have much time.
01:09:07 Randy, plug it in.
01:09:08 (dramatic music)
01:09:11 (gunshots)
01:09:19 (crowd gasps)
01:09:24 - Oops.
01:09:24 - Sweet.
01:09:26 - You change the lights.
01:09:31 I'll go check the breaker.
01:09:33 - I better go help Luther.
01:09:35 (tapping)
01:09:37 - Do you know anybody at ComEd?
01:09:41 - Officer Foromaya here.

01:09:45 Hurry, I'm running on batteries.
01:09:48 - What's up, Spike, sir?
01:09:50 - We need more time.
01:09:52 - Roger.
01:09:54 - What was that?
01:09:55 Talking about time?
01:09:56 - Uh, crime.
01:09:58 He said crime.
01:09:59 Uh, possible domestic disturbance.
01:10:03 - We better check it out.
01:10:05 - What are you talking about?
01:10:07 (siren blaring)
01:10:13 - We'll put those down here on the table,
01:10:20 I think just as the entree.
01:10:22 Bobby, maybe put the cookies over there
01:10:25 on the edge of the table.
01:10:27 Honey, there was a box with some balls in it.
01:10:30 I believe--
01:10:31 - Put the big box downstairs.
01:10:32 - Listen.
01:10:33 (glass shattering)
01:10:36 - Finally.
01:10:37 - Um.
01:10:38 (cheering)
01:10:41 - Wow.
01:10:43 - Oh, it's the washer room, everybody.
01:10:46 Oh, she's gonna be here any minute, any minute.
01:10:49 Honey, we need to go upstairs.
01:10:50 I need to do something about your tan
01:10:52 and we need to change.
01:10:54 - Will you please tell me what the hell is going on here?
01:10:57 - We got a stall.
01:11:00 - Just for a few minutes until they get the party started.
01:11:03 Ah, okay, okay.
01:11:04 - See, it's fine, it's fine.
01:11:08 Just check up.
01:11:09 - So I'll go over to this door
01:11:12 like we're investigating something.
01:11:13 - Okay, I'll put my hand on my gun, make it look official.
01:11:16 - Yeah, you do that, Mr. Terminator.
01:11:19 - You look like my mother.
01:11:26 And she's been dead, what, 15 years?
01:11:30 - All right, that's enough time.
01:11:31 Let's go back to the car.
01:11:32 - Okay.
01:11:33 (glass shattering)
01:11:37 What was that?
01:11:39 Looks like a break in.
01:11:40 - No way.
01:11:41 - Yes way.
01:11:42 - I don't need this, not now.
01:11:44 - Break in rate is very high on Christmas Eve.
01:11:47 - I know that, but we got a party to go to.
01:11:50 - So what do you wanna do, ignore it?
01:11:53 - Can't do that.
01:11:57 (suspenseful music)
01:12:00 - There he is.
01:12:02 - Police!
01:12:03 - Eat this!
01:12:04 (gunshot)
01:12:06 - Go get him.
01:12:07 - Come on, get him.
01:12:09 (suspenseful music)
01:12:12 (grunting)
01:12:16 - Get up!
01:12:19 Come on, he's getting away.
01:12:21 Hurry up!
01:12:22 All right, don't move.
01:12:26 Stay right where you are.
01:12:28 - Police.
01:12:29 - Get him.
01:12:31 - Police.
01:12:32 (screaming)
01:12:38 - All right, we got him.
01:12:40 (screaming)
01:12:46 - Honey, this is gonna be Enrique's
01:12:50 first Christmas in America.
01:12:53 I hope we make a good impression.
01:12:54 - Nora, are you sure about this?
01:12:57 I look like a mafia lieutenant.
01:12:59 - The black makes your skin look lighter.
01:13:02 And Blair is never to know about the cruise,
01:13:05 do you understand?
01:13:06 - Yeah, I heard you the first 60 times.
01:13:09 (suspenseful music)
01:13:12 - From Meyer one to From Meyer two.
01:13:16 - The Eagle has landed.
01:13:17 - Roger.
01:13:19 - Ned?
01:13:19 They're here.
01:13:22 - I got this.
01:13:23 - Hide!
01:13:24 (suspenseful music)
01:13:27 - Hey guys, look.
01:13:44 Blair's here, that's him.
01:13:46 - Oh, Blair, I see you.
01:13:48 (screaming)
01:13:50 - What if we don't like him?
01:13:53 - Do we raise the smart girl?
01:13:55 Oh, they're getting out of the car,
01:13:58 they're getting out of the car, she's home.
01:14:00 - Everybody, she's here.
01:14:02 - Who's this?
01:14:05 - Enrique, my boyfriend.
01:14:06 - Vic Fromeyer, pleased to meet you.
01:14:08 - Pleased to meet you, sir.
01:14:10 - Your parents are dying to see you.
01:14:13 Didn't Luther do a great job on the house?
01:14:17 - Honey, there he is, right here.
01:14:20 (screaming)
01:14:22 - Oh, I can't believe I'm home.
01:14:24 - We can't leave your home either.
01:14:25 - Hi, Dad.
01:14:26 - Oh.
01:14:27 - Luther Crank, this is Nora, my wife.
01:14:31 - Hi, I'm Enrique the Cardinal.
01:14:33 - Oh, come here, you.
01:14:34 (laughing)
01:14:35 Merry Christmas.
01:14:36 - Merry Christmas to you.
01:14:37 - Oh, Merry Christmas.
01:14:38 Oh, you guys look great.
01:14:40 - We've been watching what we ate.
01:14:42 - And you've been in the sun.
01:14:43 - No, we have not.
01:14:44 No.
01:14:45 I wear black to make me look lighter.
01:14:49 - The party.
01:14:52 Look, there's the party.
01:14:53 Look, it's the party, everybody.
01:14:56 (cheering)
01:14:58 - Hey, kid.
01:15:10 Come here.
01:15:12 I'm freezing to death.
01:15:15 I'm starving out here.
01:15:16 I haven't eaten in seven days.
01:15:18 - Seven days?
01:15:19 - Yeah.
01:15:20 And all these scraps I get, I give to the kids.
01:15:24 - What kids?
01:15:26 - Well, my kids.
01:15:27 I got four.
01:15:29 Annie, Billy, Tommy, and Chuck.
01:15:32 And all I wanted to do was give them
01:15:34 a real Christmas this year, you know?
01:15:36 They deserve it.
01:15:38 - Okay, you got 20 minutes inside.
01:15:44 Enough time to get warm, grab some food.
01:15:46 Then it's back to the police car.
01:15:48 No funny business, right?
01:15:49 - I swear.
01:15:51 - Swear?
01:15:52 - On my kids' lives.
01:15:54 - I have to try hickory honey ham,
01:15:59 it's Blairie's absolute favorite.
01:16:02 - Blair.
01:16:03 - The food's that way.
01:16:07 - Thanks, honey, I appreciate it.
01:16:09 - Welcome home, Blair.
01:16:11 - Hi.
01:16:11 - Hi.
01:16:12 (laughing)
01:16:13 - Merry Christmas.
01:16:14 - Merry Christmas.
01:16:15 Oh, I suppose if this is your boyfriend.
01:16:18 - Yes, honey.
01:16:19 - Yes.
01:16:20 - Hi, I'm Enrique Cardenales.
01:16:21 - Call me Marty.
01:16:22 - Marty.
01:16:23 - Yes.
01:16:23 - Houston, we have a name.
01:16:24 - Is that a Peruvian accent?
01:16:26 - How could you tell?
01:16:27 - Oh, I lived there for five years.
01:16:29 - Wow.
01:16:30 - I miss it so much.
01:16:31 (speaking in foreign language)
01:16:35 (speaking in foreign language)
01:16:42 - Honey, I'm gonna talk to Marty for a second.
01:16:44 - Yeah, okay, okay.
01:16:45 - Oh, he's charming.
01:16:47 - Who is that?
01:16:48 - Marty, you know Marty, everybody knows Marty.
01:16:50 - Marty.
01:16:51 (laughing)
01:16:53 Merry Christmas.
01:16:59 - Aren't you sweet?
01:17:01 Bless you.

01:17:47 (cheering)
01:17:59 I would like to propose a toast, if I may.
01:18:11 Here's to my new family and friends.
01:18:14 Thank you.
01:18:16 - Oh, thank you.
01:18:17 - Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
01:18:21 (speaking in foreign language)
01:18:25 - And I just wanted to say thank you to all of you,
01:18:39 to our friends and our neighbors for helping us
01:18:43 make this really the most wonderful Christmas Eve ever.
01:18:49 You really have shown us the true meaning of community,
01:18:54 and thank you all so much.
01:18:55 - Merry Christmas.
01:18:56 - Merry Christmas.

01:19:55 - Luther?
01:20:04 That was it?
01:20:09 That was the best you could come up with?
01:20:12 - I'm not really good at toast.
01:20:14 - After all they've done,
01:20:20 you couldn't just come up with a simple thank you?
01:20:24 - I did, it was just short and sweet.
01:20:27 ♪ And we'll really have a party ♪
01:20:30 ♪ But we gotta put the top on outside ♪
01:20:33 - You're still moping,
01:20:35 because you don't get to go on your precious little cruise.
01:20:38 - There's still time.
01:20:40 - What?
01:20:41 - We could still go.
01:20:42 - Luther.
01:20:43 - Listen to me.
01:20:44 Enrique and Blair could stay here,
01:20:48 have the house to themselves.
01:20:49 We go, and we all have a romantic getaway.
01:20:52 - Your daughter just flew thousands of miles home
01:20:56 with her very sweet future husband
01:20:59 to spend Christmas with us.
01:21:01 - You know, I...
01:21:03 I spent six weeks planning this vacation.
01:21:06 Six weeks, that's longer than they've been dating.
01:21:11 - Luther, everyone out there
01:21:13 sacrificed their Christmas Eve to help us.
01:21:19 I thought maybe that might affect you.
01:21:22 Maybe have you start thinking
01:21:23 about putting others first instead of yourself.
01:21:28 But I really don't think that's possible.
01:21:31 It's a shame.
01:21:33 - Why don't we all move in a line?

01:22:50 Ugh.
01:22:53 (doorbell ringing)
01:23:03 - Well, Merry Christmas, Luther.
01:23:09 - Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too, Walt.
01:23:11 - You're missing your party.
01:23:13 - Yeah.
01:23:14 How's Bev?
01:23:18 - Oh, she's having a good day, yeah, thanks.
01:23:21 We started over to see Blair, but you know, snow started.
01:23:25 So, how's the boyfriend?
01:23:30 - You know, actually, he's a very nice young man.
01:23:33 - Merry Christmas, Luther.
01:23:35 - Merry Christmas to you too, Bev.
01:23:36 - You feeling okay?
01:23:38 - Well, yeah, that was a pretty nasty fall.
01:23:40 - Well, it could have been worse.
01:23:41 - Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
01:23:43 - I'm just trying to find a way to get you home.
01:23:46 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.

01:23:58 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:23:59 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:24:00 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:24:21 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:24:50 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:25:16 - I'm trying to find a way to get you home.
01:25:34 - Could I come in for a minute?
01:25:41 Thanks.
01:25:43 - Blair's gonna be staying with us for 10 days,
01:25:47 so we're not taking the cruise,
01:25:49 and Norah and I would like you guys to have it.
01:25:56 Flight leaves at 12 noon tomorrow.
01:25:57 You gotta be there two hours ahead of time.
01:26:01 It's 10 days in the Caribbean, islands and beaches.
01:26:04 It works.
01:26:07 It's a dream vacation.
01:26:08 - We can't take it, Luth.
01:26:09 There is no way.
01:26:10 - I'm sorry.
01:26:11 - I'm sorry.
01:26:12 - I'm sorry.
01:26:13 - We can't take it, Luth.
01:26:14 It's not right.
01:26:15 - I didn't purchase the travel insurance.
01:26:16 So if you don't take it, the whole package is wasted.
01:26:17 - I'm not sure my doctor would allow it.
01:26:18 - I've got that Lexan deal on a front burner.
01:26:19 - Benny said he might stop by tomorrow.
01:26:20 - And we couldn't leave the cat.
01:26:21 - This is from us to you.
01:26:22 This is a sincere, heartfelt,
01:26:23 no-strings-attached Christmas offering.
01:26:24 - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
01:26:25 - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
