1. Hey! You up there!
Copy !req
2. You trying to kill me, or what?
Copy !req
3. C'est coupe! Cut!
Copy !req
4. Well?
Copy !req
5. Don't tempt me.
Copy !req
6. Ebony, cherie,
are you okay?
Copy !req
7. Ooh, I better be...
Copy !req
8. If my throat got scratched...
Copy !req
9. It's bad enough I'm stuck
Copy !req
10. in this cheeseball,
fake fur, Bigfoot getup.
Copy !req
11. I'm surrounded
by smelly brats.
Copy !req
12. It's hot as hell in here.
Copy !req
13. You people are starving me,
and my phone guy is missing!
Copy !req
14. You know, you don't actually
have to dump that toxic waste
Copy !req
15. down my throat
Copy !req
16. to make it look like
it's snowing in here!
Copy !req
17. Perhaps they didn't
teach you that
Copy !req
18. at the Academy
de la Minimum Wage!
Copy !req
19. Je ne comprends pas!
Copy !req
20. Bitch!
Copy !req
21. Hello.
Copy !req
22. Get over here now.
Copy !req
23. And for the 90th time,
can I get some French toast?
Copy !req
24. 10:00 in the morning
Copy !req
25. I still haven't had
any damn breakfast.
Copy !req
26. And don't forget
the powdered sugar.
Copy !req
27. a la prochaine prise.
Copy !req
28. English!
Copy !req
29. We are very sorry
Copy !req
30. for having too
much snow before.
Copy !req
31. Not as sorry
as you're going to be.
Copy !req
32. And you, what did I
Copy !req
33. tell you about
the water?
Copy !req
34. Didn't I say if I
step off the set
Copy !req
35. have a bottle of
water in my hand?
Copy !req
36. Am I off the set?
Copy !req
37. Is there water in my hand?
Copy !req
38. What about this one?
Copy !req
39. Right.
Copy !req
40. Empty hands.
Copy !req
41. Goez-vous and get me
Copy !req
42. a damn bottle of water,
s'il vous plait.
Copy !req
43. Ebony...
Copy !req
44. What? What?
Copy !req
45. What are you all
staring at?
Copy !req
46. Do I have to start yelling?
Copy !req
47. What the hell is that?
Copy !req
48. Oh, you asked
for toasted French bread.
Copy !req
49. French toast.
French toast!
Copy !req
50. For God's sake,
aren't we in France?
Copy !req
51. You know what?
Copy !req
52. Ebony.
Screw it.
Copy !req
53. I'll be in
my dressing room.
Copy !req
54. Merde! Ceci,
c'est un cirque.
Copy !req
55. Oh, quelle merdeuse!
Copy !req
56. Elle est folle,
ou quoi, alors?
Copy !req
57. Yves, Yves, I am
so sorry, she's...
Copy !req
58. She is a monster.
Copy !req
59. Everything they say
about her is completely true!
Copy !req
60. No, no, see, we have been
on the road for months.
Copy !req
61. She's tired.
Copy !req
62. We've been going city to city,
a show almost every night
Copy !req
63. most of us away
from our families...
Copy !req
64. Bob, Bob, this is fine,
but... French toast...
Copy !req
65. qu'est-ce que c'est
French toast?
Copy !req
66. What you do...
you take bread, right?
Copy !req
67. Well, actually, first,
you have to take...
Copy !req
68. You know what?
I'm going to go try
Copy !req
69. and get her
out of her dressing room.
Copy !req
70. Ebony.
Copy !req
71. These, these people have no idea
how to treat a superstar.
Copy !req
72. You're the one who wanted to do a Christmas video.
Copy !req
73. To move the single.
Copy !req
74. Christmas is a marketing machine
we cannot ignore.
Copy !req
75. I know that,
but when you're squeezing a video shoot
Copy !req
76. in the middle of a European tour,
it gets a little bit...
Copy !req
77. Ouch! Watch it!
Copy !req
78. For what
we're paying them
Copy !req
79. they can accommodate
a few simple requests.
Copy !req
80. Great. Now what?
Copy !req
81. It's me, Ernie.
Can I come in?
Copy !req
82. Cratch.
Ernie.
Copy !req
83. You know, uh, paychecks
were late again this week.
Copy !req
84. Yeah, we had to shuffle a couple of things around.
Copy !req
85. We're short
again, Ebony.
Copy !req
86. Now how can that be?
Copy !req
87. I'll look into it.
Copy !req
88. Hmm...
Copy !req
89. One minute it's there, the next minute...
Copy !req
90. Poof!
Wait, I've got an idea.
Copy !req
91. We'll have a Christmas concert.
Copy !req
92. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We'll have what?
Copy !req
93. When? Where?
Copy !req
94. Thank you.
Copy !req
95. You know, they're good.
Copy !req
96. We should take them on the road.
Copy !req
97. Whitney's got her own people,
so I...
Copy !req
98. E... the concert?
Copy !req
99. Christmas Day, New York City.
Copy !req
100. And since when do you
give a damn about Christmas?
Copy !req
101. A concert would promote
the hell out of the album
Copy !req
102. get a lot of good press.
Copy !req
103. So you're talking about,
like, a charity concert?
Copy !req
104. Hmm...
Copy !req
105. Just think of
the write-off.
Copy !req
106. A charity concert, mmm, yeah...
Copy !req
107. but, uh...
Copy !req
108. exclusive, intimate...
intimate setting.
Copy !req
109. Charge a fortune
for the tickets.
Copy !req
110. Tourists will pay anything
for a little holiday spirit.
Copy !req
111. Okay, and who
would it benefit?
Copy !req
112. So, how's the family
there, Bob?
Copy !req
113. My godson, little Tom?
Copy !req
114. Tim.
Copy !req
115. Whatever.
Copy !req
116. He's fine. About the concert—
Copy !req
117. you can't have it
on Christmas Day.
Copy !req
118. Oh?
Copy !req
119. We're off Christmas Day.
Copy !req
120. Your people want to go home
and see their families.
Copy !req
121. They've got the
next day off.
Copy !req
122. You can't do this.
Copy !req
123. Well, I just did.
Copy !req
124. Tickets will go on sale
Copy !req
125. tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
126. And how am I going
to tell everybody
Copy !req
127. that there's
no Christmas break?
Copy !req
128. I'm sure
you'll think of something.
Copy !req
129. I know.
Copy !req
130. It sucks.
Copy !req
131. I know.
Copy !req
132. I haven't been home
in four months.
Copy !req
133. Neither have I.
Yeah, but I have a kid.
Copy !req
134. Me, too.
Copy !req
135. Bob, I already
bought my ticket
Copy !req
136. home to St. Louis.
What am I going to do about that?
Copy !req
137. Well, you're just going
to have to change it.
Copy !req
138. But it's not worth flying home
for just one day off.
Copy !req
139. Well, that's going to have
to be your decision to make.
Copy !req
140. Look, your hotel in
New York is covered
Copy !req
141. for the two nights of Christmas.
Copy !req
142. Oh, great.
Copy !req
143. She can't do this.
Hey, it's a charity concert.
Copy !req
144. Yeah, you know what?
Charity begins at home.
Copy !req
145. Well, can we at least
invite our families?
Copy !req
146. I mean, New York's
Copy !req
147. not such a bad place
to spend Christmas.
Copy !req
148. Um...
Copy !req
149. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Do not even tell me...
Copy !req
150. No tickets for the staff.
Copy !req
151. They're selling
every one.
Copy !req
152. I mean after all, it's a...
Copy !req
153. We know.
Copy !req
154. A charity concert.
Copy !req
155. I'll see you in Nice.
Copy !req
156. It's perfect.
Copy !req
157. We promise them
the proceeds
Copy !req
158. but when we deduct "legitimate"
production expenses
Copy !req
159. travel costs and financing fees,
we stand to make...
Copy !req
160. $1,276,000.34.
Copy !req
161. Not bad for one day's work.
Copy !req
162. Will that make up
for the shortfall?
Copy !req
163. I'm sure it will.
Copy !req
164. But does any money actually go to charity?
Copy !req
165. Absolutely.
Copy !req
166. I want to see
a picture of me
Copy !req
167. and one of those
giant checks
Copy !req
168. on the cover
of Billboard.
Copy !req
169. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
170. Bob, you promised you'd be home.
Copy !req
171. I thought that I'd be free.
Copy !req
172. Well, I need
some help over here.
Copy !req
173. I can appreciate that, Kelly
Copy !req
174. but you know I've got to work.
Copy !req
175. So where's this month's check?
Copy !req
176. We got paid late again.
Copy !req
177. Oh, you're just full
of good news.
Copy !req
178. Look, Kelly
Copy !req
179. you know the deal, okay?
Ebony...
Copy !req
180. Oh, Ebony, Ebony, Ebony.
Copy !req
181. That song is so old.
Copy !req
182. When are you going to learn?
Copy !req
183. When are you going to back off?
Copy !req
184. What is it with you and her?
Copy !req
185. Look... I don't want to have
this fight again, okay?
Copy !req
186. There's no point, is there?
Copy !req
187. I guess not.
Copy !req
188. Okay.
Copy !req
189. Can I talk to Tim?
Copy !req
190. Yeah. One sec.
Copy !req
191. Tim, it's your dad.
Copy !req
192. Any word from the doctor?
Copy !req
193. Well, he's still anemic
Copy !req
194. and his blood pressure's high,
so...
Copy !req
195. More tests.
Copy !req
196. When are they going
to figure out what's wrong?
Copy !req
197. That poor kid.
Copy !req
198. It's tough on all of us.
Copy !req
199. Well, here you go.
Copy !req
200. Daddy!
Copy !req
201. Hey, champ, how you doing?
Copy !req
202. I'm great. How's, um...
Copy !req
203. Paris, right?
Copy !req
204. Paris is okay,
but it's no Cleveland.
Copy !req
205. I can't wait for Christmas.
Copy !req
206. You still coming home?
Copy !req
207. I'm certainly
going to try, kiddo...
Copy !req
208. but, uh, we're getting pretty
busy here with work, so...
Copy !req
209. Won't Aunt Ebony let you
have a day off?
Copy !req
210. I wish she would
Copy !req
211. because I've been working
pretty hard
Copy !req
212. and I miss you bad.
Copy !req
213. Listen, do me a favor
and, uh, take care of your mom
Copy !req
214. for me, all right?
Copy !req
215. You betcha.
Copy !req
216. I wish I were half
as brave as he is.
Copy !req
217. Me, too.
Copy !req
218. Kelly, I love you guys
Copy !req
219. and I will see you soon.
Copy !req
220. But not for Christmas.
Copy !req
221. Kelly...?
Copy !req
222. I don't understand.
Copy !req
223. In the month
I've been with you guys
Copy !req
224. every show
was sold out.
Copy !req
225. She must be raking it in.
Copy !req
226. What's the deal?
Copy !req
227. She's just a miser.
Copy !req
228. I heard she melts down
her gold records for scrap.
Copy !req
229. Do you know, she won't even
let me get a new hairbrush
Copy !req
230. till the next
leg of the tour?
Copy !req
231. "Those brushes are $16 each.
Copy !req
232. If everyone got one
when they felt like it..."
Copy !req
233. Tell me about it!
Copy !req
234. I can't get new guitar strings.
Copy !req
235. I've been faking G for weeks.
Copy !req
236. What about that
hotel in London?
Copy !req
237. You know the
room is filthy
Copy !req
238. when you've got to pee
Copy !req
239. and you'd rather hold it
till you get
Copy !req
240. to the bus terminal.
Copy !req
241. Oh, well, Diva stayed
at the Park Lane.
Copy !req
242. I got a look at the rider once.
Copy !req
243. The promoter pays
Copy !req
244. for all of us to
be in good hotels
Copy !req
245. but she puts us in fleabags and pockets the rest.
Copy !req
246. Did she stay at different hotels
from Marli and Terry?
Copy !req
247. No, they were best friends.
Inseparable.
Copy !req
248. So what happened to Desire?
Copy !req
249. Marli died,
that's what happened.
Copy !req
250. Then she dropped Terry
like a hot potato.
Copy !req
251. Got herself a nice,
fat solo career.
Copy !req
252. Whatever became of Terry?
Copy !req
253. Who knows?
Copy !req
254. writing a book on diva behavior along the way.
Copy !req
255. And now, after an extensive
tour of Europe
Copy !req
256. Ebony's returning
to New York City
Copy !req
257. for a special Christmas show.
Oh, this is us.
Copy !req
258. She'll perform songs from her new Christmas album.
Copy !req
259. So, let's go
back to 1988
Copy !req
260. when we got our first look
Copy !req
261. at Ebony and Desire.
No way!
Copy !req
262. Here's "Heartquake."
Copy !req
263. How is that for timing?
Copy !req
264. And five and six
and seven and...
Copy !req
265. Ooh! Don't move your lips
when you count.
Copy !req
266. Check out Marli.
Copy !req
267. Yeah, Ebony can barely
keep up with Terry.
Copy !req
268. Oh!
Copy !req
269. I bet that look's coming back any second,
don't you?
Copy !req
270. If we're not careful,
it just might.
Copy !req
271. If somebody moonwalks,
I'm going to lose my lunch.
Copy !req
272. You know,
I worshipped this album.
Copy !req
273. I wore it out.
Copy !req
274. That's why I was so excited to get this gig.
Copy !req
275. Tour with
the one and only Ebony.
Copy !req
276. I mean, come on...
Copy !req
277. tell me you didn't love this.
Copy !req
278. I have the 12-inch single.
Copy !req
279. Bon Avion appel le passenger Ebony Scrooge.
Copy !req
280. Ebony Scrooge, s'il vous plait.
Copy !req
281. I was paged.
Copy !req
282. You are Ebony Scrooge?
Copy !req
283. Just Ebony,
if you don't mind.
Copy !req
284. Tickets and
passport, please.
Copy !req
285. Thank you.
Copy !req
286. Funny, you look, uh,
thinner on TV.
Copy !req
287. Anyway, well, you know the
7:00 flight was canceled
Copy !req
288. so we are trying to accommodate
Copy !req
289. all the passengers
onto this flight.
Copy !req
290. And, uh, you seem to have
an extra first class seat.
Copy !req
291. What's the problem?
Copy !req
292. They want
my second seat.
Copy !req
293. Oh, uh, that seat's paid for.
Copy !req
294. The promoter always
buys two seats for Ebony.
Copy !req
295. Oh, so you are
the one sitting
Copy !req
296. next to Mrs. Scrooge?
Copy !req
297. No, no, I'm in coach.
Copy !req
298. Well, why, then,
do you need the...?
Copy !req
299. Because I can't spend
an entire flight to New York
Copy !req
300. having my ear yapped off
Copy !req
301. by some Formica salesman.
Copy !req
302. I need my space.
I need my privacy.
Copy !req
303. I need to be able to...
Copy !req
304. If you give up your seat,
we'll give you a voucher
Copy !req
305. for a first class ticket
anywhere we fly
Copy !req
306. and a full refund
for this ticket.
Copy !req
307. Cash?
Copy !req
308. Oui.
Copy !req
309. Deal.
Copy !req
310. Well...
Copy !req
311. Bob, of course,
if you want the seat...
Copy !req
312. No, no, I'm fine
with the band.
Copy !req
313. Just sign here,
please.
Copy !req
314. Maybe they drive
like that in Russia
Copy !req
315. but here, in the
United States
Copy !req
316. we drive with one foot on one pedal at a time.
Copy !req
317. I don't see why
you had to cancel the limo.
Copy !req
318. Because I'm not paying 100 bucks
for a ride from the airport.
Copy !req
319. Right.
Copy !req
320. Well, pay the man.
Copy !req
321. Right.
Copy !req
322. Please help
the poor.
Copy !req
323. Save it for the suckers,
Grandpa.
Copy !req
324. Merry Christmas,
ma'am.
Copy !req
325. Bob.
Copy !req
326. Yeah?
Copy !req
327. Where is everybody?
Copy !req
328. The screaming fans,
the reporters...
Copy !req
329. the usual?
Copy !req
330. I-I did just what you asked.
Copy !req
331. Switched the plans
and lied to the press
Copy !req
332. so you'd be left alone.
Copy !req
333. Well, I thought
you'd at least
Copy !req
334. leak it to Page Six—
There's nobody!
Copy !req
335. God, do I have to do
everything myself?
Copy !req
336. T-Bone, I don't want to be disturbed for at least three hours.
Copy !req
337. It's going to take that long to wash the Parisian stink off me.
Copy !req
338. The Princess Suite, ma'am.
Copy !req
339. I guess the Queen
wasn't available?
Copy !req
340. Well, some people
Copy !req
341. actually prefer the more
intimate setting of the...
Copy !req
342. Please.
Copy !req
343. Well, it'll do.
Copy !req
344. Oh!
Copy !req
345. So bright in here.
Copy !req
346. Don't scratch that bag.
Copy !req
347. Hey, not bad.
Copy !req
348. Olivia.
Copy !req
349. How'd you get past security?
Copy !req
350. T-Bone? Please.
Copy !req
351. Aunt Ebony, it's so
great you're in New York
Copy !req
352. for Christmas; now you
can come over for...
Copy !req
353. Come on, come on, come on.
Copy !req
354. I know you want tickets
for tomorrow night's concert.
Copy !req
355. On Christmas? Course not.
Copy !req
356. We've got friends
coming for dinner
Copy !req
357. and we're inviting
you, too.
Copy !req
358. Mmm.
Copy !req
359. For some lovely frozen turkey.
Copy !req
360. Supermarket pie.
Copy !req
361. Box wine.
Copy !req
362. Box wine?
I love box wine.
Copy !req
363. It's so easy to gift wrap.
Copy !req
364. Well, let me consider
Copy !req
365. your appealing offer
for a second.
Copy !req
366. Uh, mmm, no.
Copy !req
367. Well, suit yourself, Auntie.
Copy !req
368. But I'm just going
to keep on asking
Copy !req
369. and one of these days,
you'll remember
Copy !req
370. I'm the only family you've got.
Copy !req
371. And then you'll come
over for dinner
Copy !req
372. and give everybody
a heart attack.
Copy !req
373. Whatever it takes.
Copy !req
374. Merry Christmas, Ebony.
Copy !req
375. Merry Christmas. Right.
Copy !req
376. Hey.
Copy !req
377. I just saw Olivia.
Copy !req
378. You're going to be hanging
with her tonight?
Copy !req
379. Of course not.
Copy !req
380. Got to get some sleep.
Copy !req
381. I have A.M. America
tomorrow at 7:00
Copy !req
382. a photo shot at 8:00.
Copy !req
383. How often do you get
to see your only niece?
Copy !req
384. Family is an
accident of birth.
Copy !req
385. That is so beautiful.
Copy !req
386. Have you ever considered
writing for Hallmark?
Copy !req
387. Hey, it's Christmas.
Copy !req
388. You know, peace on Earth,
goodwill towards man?
Copy !req
389. Christmas exists for
one reason only—
Copy !req
390. to sell crap to the masses.
Copy !req
391. This year I happen to
have a Christmas album.
Copy !req
392. I'm trying to unload some
all about that holiday spirit.
Copy !req
393. Please.
Copy !req
394. If people were really interested
in peace on Earth
Copy !req
395. they'd be doing something
about it
Copy !req
396. instead of shopping
and overeating
Copy !req
397. and dressing up fat, old drunks
as Santa Claus.
Copy !req
398. Hello.
Copy !req
399. Cratch.
Copy !req
400. Ernie.
Copy !req
401. Ebony, I need you to sign
the contract for the charity.
Copy !req
402. Which charity
is that again?
Copy !req
403. Uh, the National Homeless
Coalition, of course.
Copy !req
404. Oh.
Copy !req
405. Any good?
Copy !req
406. Sure. They help the homeless.
Copy !req
407. I thought my tax dollars
built homeless shelters.
Copy !req
408. Rat holes.
Copy !req
409. Most people would rather die
than live in those shelters.
Copy !req
410. Some of them might be better off
if they did.
Copy !req
411. Hmm.
Copy !req
412. But, anyway
Copy !req
413. that's, uh,
that's who we're helping.
Copy !req
414. So how about you?
Copy !req
415. I know this isn't your
favorite time of year
Copy !req
416. what with Marli's accident
at Christmas.
Copy !req
417. Yeah, I'm fine.
Copy !req
418. I just need
a decent night's sleep.
Copy !req
419. Well, why don't you
try some hot milk
Copy !req
420. for a change?
Copy !req
421. Hey, Bob, you're not my daddy.
Copy !req
422. Hot milk.
Copy !req
423. I need sleep, not calcium.
Copy !req
424. Uh, yeah, I want to order
some dinner.
Copy !req
425. The Princess Suite.
Copy !req
426. Uh, spinach salad.
Copy !req
427. But make sure it's washed.
Copy !req
428. If I find one grain of sand
in it, I'm sending it back.
Copy !req
429. Seared tuna, but rare.
Copy !req
430. I want the inside blood red
or I'm sending it back.
Copy !req
431. And farfalla, but al dente.
Copy !req
432. If it's soggy...
Copy !req
433. No, if it's soggy
Copy !req
434. I'm coming down there
and shoving it up your...
Copy !req
435. You got it?
Copy !req
436. Charming.
Copy !req
437. Is there a snooze button
on that thing?
Copy !req
438. What the hell...?
Copy !req
439. There are no earthquakes
in New York.
Copy !req
440. Room service.
Copy !req
441. The seared tuna and
al dente farfalla.
Copy !req
442. So dinner just got here.
Copy !req
443. What did I tell you
about the spinach?
Copy !req
444. There's enough sand in it
to make glass.
Copy !req
445. Well, somebody better
come up and get it
Copy !req
446. because I'm not eating it
Copy !req
447. and in five minutes,
it'll be on the wall.
Copy !req
448. Oh, now what?
Copy !req
449. Hey, I'm not paying for that.
Copy !req
450. Seven dollars for goobers?
Copy !req
451. Well, this is just unacceptable.
Copy !req
452. Hello!
Copy !req
453. Hello, get me the manager!
Copy !req
454. That was quick.
Copy !req
455. Boo.
Copy !req
456. Ebony.
Copy !req
457. Ebony, don't be afraid.
Copy !req
458. You know me, girl.
Copy !req
459. Like hell, I do.
Copy !req
460. I was your best friend,
your partner.
Copy !req
461. Sister, you need help.
Copy !req
462. I really am Marli.
Copy !req
463. Look, you may think
you're Marli
Copy !req
464. and maybe you look
a little like her
Copy !req
465. but you're crazy,
and Marli is dead.
Copy !req
466. You're telling me.
Copy !req
467. Look at this.
Copy !req
468. No way.
Copy !req
469. Way.
Copy !req
470. This Pharmalain's never
given me hallucinations before.
Copy !req
471. You know what?
Copy !req
472. You need to stop taking
those pills.
Copy !req
473. Now I'm getting lectured
by a hallucination?
Copy !req
474. I'm not an hallucination.
Copy !req
475. It's me.
Copy !req
476. I'm really here.
Copy !req
477. Really?
Copy !req
478. Marli?
Copy !req
479. I'll be damned.
Copy !req
480. You got that right.
Copy !req
481. Huh?
Copy !req
482. I'm here to warn you, Ebony.
Copy !req
483. About what?
Copy !req
484. You're going to
end up like this.
Copy !req
485. What? You haven't aged a day.
Copy !req
486. Because I'm dead.
Copy !req
487. No, it's worse.
Copy !req
488. Undead, stuck in limbo,
wandering forever.
Copy !req
489. Well, you don't look so bad.
Copy !req
490. Nothing a little Lancome
and Spackle can't fix.
Copy !req
491. This... this is for you.
Copy !req
492. This is what I
really look like.
Copy !req
493. Blech!
Copy !req
494. Well, I guess they don't
have facials in the afterlife.
Copy !req
495. Facials?
Copy !req
496. Girl, no facials
Copy !req
497. no massages,
no body wraps
Copy !req
498. and you break your
nails every day.
Copy !req
499. No, not the nails.
Copy !req
500. Yes.
Copy !req
501. That's why I'm here,
Ebony— to help you.
Copy !req
502. What, do my nails?
Copy !req
503. No, to save your soul.
Copy !req
504. Is this about the royalties?
Copy !req
505. 'Cause we settled that.
Copy !req
506. If I wrote 65 % of the song
Copy !req
507. I get 65 % of the...
Copy !req
508. No, Ebony. I mean...
Copy !req
509. I think I'm way past
worrying about money now.
Copy !req
510. Well, then, you must be dead,
'cause nobody's past
Copy !req
511. worrying
about money.
Copy !req
512. And what's
with the get-up?
Copy !req
513. I thought you quit
the whips and chains
Copy !req
514. when you broke up
Copy !req
515. with that guy
from Paramus.
Copy !req
516. These chains are to remind me of my mistakes.
Copy !req
517. How I threw
away my life.
Copy !req
518. I'll say you did—
what a waste.
Copy !req
519. We were getting so big.
Copy !req
520. But how did we
use our success?
Copy !req
521. You know, what did we do
to help our own?
Copy !req
522. In the true business of life,
we were flops.
Copy !req
523. Mmm, that makes no sense.
Copy !req
524. Girl, I have tried—
Copy !req
525. Lord knows
I have tried
Copy !req
526. so many times to
reach you from...
Copy !req
527. wherever it is I am
Copy !req
528. and tonight,
I finally did
Copy !req
529. and I am telling you that
you have got to start...
Copy !req
530. What gives you the right
to tell me what to do?
Copy !req
531. What gives me the right?
Copy !req
532. We were best friends.
Copy !req
533. You tell me what
happened to that.
Copy !req
534. You ruined it,
that's what happened.
Copy !req
535. You pushed us out
of the spotlight.
Copy !req
536. Oh, so it's my fault.
Copy !req
537. Excuse me, I'm talking.
Copy !req
538. One minute,
we're a trio— the next, Terry and I
Copy !req
539. are your backup singers,
and that hurts.
Copy !req
540. Oh, so it's my fault
you got into drugs?
Copy !req
541. Please.
You can't blame me for...
Copy !req
542. And you stood by.
Copy !req
543. You should have been looking out
for me.
Copy !req
544. How?
Copy !req
545. I tried,
but you wouldn't listen.
Copy !req
546. The more I told you to quit,
the more you did.
Copy !req
547. Because you were always...
Copy !req
548. I loved you
Copy !req
549. but there was
a business to run.
Copy !req
550. It's not my fault.
Copy !req
551. Well, where were you
Christmas Eve, 1990?
Copy !req
552. Where was I?
Copy !req
553. I was getting the news
that you got messed up
Copy !req
554. and wrapped your Porsche
around a tree.
Copy !req
555. Yeah, and I took
two innocent lives with me.
Copy !req
556. And what
did you do?
Copy !req
557. I cried my eyes out.
Copy !req
558. I've never gotten over that.
Copy !req
559. The very night I died,
you abandoned Terry
Copy !req
560. and started planning
your own solo act.
Copy !req
561. No, that's not true.
Copy !req
562. And I had to
watch all of it.
Copy !req
563. My hell is watching
you screw up your life.
Copy !req
564. Remember that showcase at Tramps
that Bob put together?
Copy !req
565. Yeah, that night
was make-or-break.
Copy !req
566. We did a good show,
we get signed
Copy !req
567. we choke, we be
history— remember?
Copy !req
568. Yeah, we... we kicked butt.
Copy !req
569. Well, tonight is like that.
Copy !req
570. You're going
to be visited
Copy !req
571. by three spirits—
at 1:00, 2:00...
Copy !req
572. Ooh... tonight's no good.
Copy !req
573. Well, tough.
Copy !req
574. I have to get some sleep.
Copy !req
575. I have A.M. America at 7:00...
Copy !req
576. They're spirits; they don't
care about no talk show.
Copy !req
577. Oh, Marli
Copy !req
578. no one cares about talk shows.
Copy !req
579. Look at my calendar. I...
Copy !req
580. Damn.
Copy !req
581. That Pharmalain's
some powerful sh...
Copy !req
582. I got to get a new prescription.
Copy !req
583. Oh, yuck.
Copy !req
584. Room service.
Copy !req
585. I thought you were sending
a new order up right away.
Copy !req
586. It will be there
any moment.
Copy !req
587. Yeah, but I ordered it over...
Copy !req
588. Oh. Okay, you're there.
Copy !req
589. Good evening.
Copy !req
590. I better eat something
soon— I am trippin'.
Copy !req
591. Yeah, I'm kind of
a klutz myself.
Copy !req
592. Hey, look what time
it is.
Copy !req
593. Did you see what...?
Copy !req
594. Let me guess.
Copy !req
595. You're the first spirit?
Copy !req
596. Was it the dress?
Copy !req
597. I hope you know you're
not getting a tip.
Copy !req
598. It's okay, I'm a spirit.
Copy !req
599. Our currency
is magic and creepiness.
Copy !req
600. Who are you, anyway?
Copy !req
601. Who am I?
Copy !req
602. Exactly.
Copy !req
603. Who are any of us—
I mean, really?
Copy !req
604. But, I digress.
Copy !req
605. Hi.
Copy !req
606. Ghost of Christmas Past.
Copy !req
607. What, like "chestnuts
roasting on an open fire"?
Copy !req
608. Uh, hope you're going
to be dressed warm.
Copy !req
609. It's going to be a
little cold where we go
Copy !req
610. okay, crazy lady?
Copy !req
611. I'm not going anywhere.
Copy !req
612. Already she's starting.
Copy !req
613. Gucci.
Copy !req
614. Not bad.
Copy !req
615. I got it free.
Copy !req
616. Last year, I had
to show Tom Ford
Copy !req
617. all his past
Christmases.
Copy !req
618. Well, now I got to change.
Copy !req
619. No time; we got to go.
Copy !req
620. Why are you really here?
Copy !req
621. To help you.
Copy !req
622. Well, you may
as well go, then
Copy !req
623. since the only help
I need
Copy !req
624. is a good
night's sleep.
Copy !req
625. No, no— to save you, then.
Copy !req
626. But you're so... annoying.
Copy !req
627. And you're cranky.
Copy !req
628. Let's go, missy!
Copy !req
629. Whoa! What's happening?
Copy !req
630. Just another day
at the office for me.
Copy !req
631. My home town—
Paterson, New Jersey.
Copy !req
632. That explains
the smell.
Copy !req
633. Oh! No, it's a quaint
little town.
Copy !req
634. Well, take a good,
hard look.
Copy !req
635. In 20 years, this is all
going to be a strip mall.
Copy !req
636. There's Pat's.
Copy !req
637. Marli, Terry and I
Copy !req
638. used to hang out there
all the time.
Copy !req
639. Hey, Pat.
Copy !req
640. Pat!
Copy !req
641. I guess
he can't hear me.
Copy !req
642. See that basketball court?
Copy !req
643. My brother Ronnie and I used to play there every afternoon...
Copy !req
644. until...
Copy !req
645. Oh, there's Old
Man Miller's place.
Copy !req
646. And Mancone's Pizza.
Copy !req
647. Oh— Roosevelt High.
Copy !req
648. I remember everything.
Copy !req
649. Really?
You'd never know.
Copy !req
650. Huh?
Copy !req
651. Oh, see this place?
Copy !req
652. The acoustics in the girls'
bathroom were perfect.
Copy !req
653. We used to sneak
in on league nights
Copy !req
654. and work out
our harmonies.
Copy !req
655. Right there.
Copy !req
656. Mrs. Healy?
Copy !req
657. Mrs. Healy!
Copy !req
658. Why can't anybody
hear me?
Copy !req
659. Because these aren't
Copy !req
660. real people.
Copy !req
661. It's like... Los Angeles.
Copy !req
662. Oh.
Copy !req
663. Merry Christmas,
everybody!
Copy !req
664. Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Happy holidays!
Copy !req
665. Oh, there's Andy the
Fish, Scooter, Jackie...
Copy !req
666. Marli!
Copy !req
667. There's Marli!
Copy !req
668. And where's
little Ebony
Copy !req
669. during all
this excitement?
Copy !req
670. Oh, there you are.
Copy !req
671. Let's go inside.
Copy !req
672. Ah, no,
I don't want to.
Copy !req
673. Suit yourself.
Copy !req
674. It's Christmas Eve,
and you're here practicing scales?
Copy !req
675. You must really love it.
Copy !req
676. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
677. You should be
home on Christmas.
Copy !req
678. Home?
Copy !req
679. Song title.
Copy !req
680. Four words.
Copy !req
681. First word.
Copy !req
682. Down?
Copy !req
683. Floor? Feet?
Copy !req
684. House? Home?
Copy !req
685. Here.
Copy !req
686. "Here Comes Santa Claus"!
Copy !req
687. "Here Comes Santa Claus"!
"Here Comes Santa Claus"!
Copy !req
688. What did I tell you?
Copy !req
689. Keep it the hell
down out here!
Copy !req
690. Now, what the hell
are you crying about?
Copy !req
691. Leave her alone.
Copy !req
692. Who do you
think you...?
Copy !req
693. Girl, look, when I
tell you to shut up
Copy !req
694. I want you to shut up!
Copy !req
695. Git off me! Git!
Copy !req
696. Give me this thing here.
Copy !req
697. For the last time—
Copy !req
698. there's no Christmas
in this house.
Copy !req
699. There's nothing
Copy !req
700. to celebrate.
Copy !req
701. You see
any presents?
Copy !req
702. You see your mother anywhere?
Copy !req
703. You're lucky
Copy !req
704. you got a damn roof
over your head!
Copy !req
705. Now, you stop your crying,
or I'm going to give you
Copy !req
706. something
to cry about.
Copy !req
707. You hear me?
Copy !req
708. Children's Welfare.
May I help you?
Copy !req
709. No!
Copy !req
710. Ronnie! Ronnie!
Copy !req
711. No!
Copy !req
712. Ronnie! I don't want to go!
Copy !req
713. Please!
Copy !req
714. I'll be good.
No!
Copy !req
715. Don't make me go.
No!
Copy !req
716. Please!
Copy !req
717. Get in.
Copy !req
718. Please!
Copy !req
719. Ronnie!
Copy !req
720. Let's see
another Christmas.
Copy !req
721. Ebony.
Copy !req
722. Ronnie?
Copy !req
723. Ronnie!
Copy !req
724. Oh, God
Copy !req
725. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
726. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
727. I've come to take you home.
Copy !req
728. Home?
Copy !req
729. I can't go back there.
Copy !req
730. Eb-Ebony
Copy !req
731. I've been keeping
in touch with Dad.
Copy !req
732. He's been really good.
Copy !req
733. He stopped drinking.
Copy !req
734. If you just came home with us,
everything...
Copy !req
735. I can't forgive him.
Copy !req
736. How am I supposed
Copy !req
737. to ever trust him
again?
Copy !req
738. Of course, my dad
started drinking again
Copy !req
739. so Ronnie took off.
Copy !req
740. Got married straight out of high school,
had Olivia.
Copy !req
741. And then, just like
that, he was gone.
Copy !req
742. An aneurysm, can
you believe it?
Copy !req
743. First, you lost
Ronnie, then Marli.
Copy !req
744. His daughter really is
the only family you have.
Copy !req
745. You must spend a lot
of time with her.
Copy !req
746. I just saw her last night.
Copy !req
747. Uh-huh. Let's go—
another Christmas.
Copy !req
748. Hey, isn't there any other night
you can show me?
Copy !req
749. There was a New Year's in '95
that was really...
Copy !req
750. Oh, right, and that
Arbor Day in '96.
Copy !req
751. Whoo! They're
still talking.
Copy !req
752. Sorry, I just
do Christmas.
Copy !req
753. Problem is, you're
a little thin
Copy !req
754. on Christmases
worth remembering.
Copy !req
755. And that's my fault?
Copy !req
756. Well...
Copy !req
757. There's one.
Copy !req
758. What?
Copy !req
759. Nice. Takes attention
away from your face.
Copy !req
760. Was that a
backhanded insult?
Copy !req
761. And now,
Club 52 and WRKZ present
Copy !req
762. the number-one new R&B act
Come on, y'all.
Copy !req
763. In the nation.
One for all...
Copy !req
764. And all for one.
Copy !req
765. Ladies and gentlemen,
put your hands together
Copy !req
766. for Desire!
What is she doing?
Copy !req
767. Whoo!
Copy !req
768. Not bad.
Copy !req
769. "Not bad"?
Copy !req
770. Well, the harmonies are
a little predictable
Copy !req
771. and the dancing's a little,
you know, dated.
Copy !req
772. What are you,
a critic?
Copy !req
773. No, no,
not professionally
Copy !req
774. but, where I hang out,
Billie Holliday duets
Copy !req
775. with Otis Redding
Copy !req
776. and last night, Marvin
Gaye and Tammi Terrell...
Copy !req
777. Nothing worse
than a cocky spirit.
Copy !req
778. So, how come you do
mostly ballads now?
Copy !req
779. Mmm... it's what
the record company wants.
Copy !req
780. He's cute.
Copy !req
781. Who, Bob?
Copy !req
782. It seems like
such a long time ago.
Copy !req
783. Thank you.
Copy !req
784. Whoo!
Copy !req
785. Hi, everybody,
I'm Marli.
Copy !req
786. I'm Ebony.
Copy !req
787. I'm Terry.
Copy !req
788. And we are...
Copy !req
789. Desire!
Copy !req
790. Merry Christmas,
New York.
Copy !req
791. How are y'all doing?
Copy !req
792. 1988 has been such an
amazing year for us
Copy !req
793. and we have all of you to thank.
Copy !req
794. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
795. And next week, we start
our first world tour
Copy !req
796. and we may be gone
for a long time
Copy !req
797. but no matter what happens to us
Copy !req
798. we will always remember
our first fans. Whoo!
Copy !req
799. Yeah.
Copy !req
800. Merry Christmas, everybody!
Copy !req
801. How you doing?
Copy !req
802. We're Desire,
and we got a song for you!
Copy !req
803. Wow, you guys rock
the Christmas house.
Copy !req
804. I forgot how perfect
that night was.
Copy !req
805. Well,
we got to go.
Copy !req
806. We're running
out of time.
Copy !req
807. Can't we stay
a little longer?
Copy !req
808. Hmm, let me consider
that for a minute.
Copy !req
809. Uh, um, no!
Copy !req
810. Where are we going next?
Copy !req
811. I don't know yet.
Copy !req
812. Well, will you
make up your mind?
Copy !req
813. I mean, what if
you drop me?
Copy !req
814. That would suck for you.
Copy !req
815. It's a long way down.
Copy !req
816. Well, that's my point.
Copy !req
817. Let's find out.
Copy !req
818. Ah, relax.
I had you the whole time.
Copy !req
819. I-I...
Copy !req
820. I...
Copy !req
821. Don't worry.
Copy !req
822. I can't kill you... yet.
Copy !req
823. I'm not done with you.
Copy !req
824. Oh, that's comforting.
Copy !req
825. I don't understand.
Copy !req
826. We will see each other
every day.
Copy !req
827. So much is
happening, Bob.
Copy !req
828. We're both
going through
Copy !req
829. all kinds of changes.
Copy !req
830. I'm not.
Copy !req
831. I'm not changing at all.
Copy !req
832. I'm still exactly the same guy
Copy !req
833. and I feel exactly the same way
about you.
Copy !req
834. What about in a month,
when I'm busy all the time
Copy !req
835. and I'm being pulled in a
million different directions?
Copy !req
836. I'm not going to have
time for you and...
Copy !req
837. And nothing!
Copy !req
838. I love you.
Copy !req
839. I will understand.
Copy !req
840. I'll see you at night.
Copy !req
841. I will see you
on your days off.
Copy !req
842. I can wait.
Copy !req
843. E, you don't
have to do this.
Copy !req
844. And there'll be girls
throwing themselves at you.
Copy !req
845. How do I know I can trust you?
Copy !req
846. Me?
Copy !req
847. Wh... you can't trust me,
or you can't trust yourself?
Copy !req
848. Same difference.
Copy !req
849. Things happen, you know.
Copy !req
850. "Out of sight,
out of mind"?
Copy !req
851. Don't throw cliches at me.
Copy !req
852. Just give me
a little space, okay?
Copy !req
853. There's another one.
Copy !req
854. Look, Bob, I am grateful
Copy !req
855. for everything
you've done for me.
Copy !req
856. I mean, I wouldn't even have
a record deal
Copy !req
857. if it wasn't for you.
Copy !req
858. This is not about a record deal!
Copy !req
859. It's not like I'm firing you
or anything.
Copy !req
860. I want you
on the road.
Copy !req
861. Fire me?
Copy !req
862. I am your boyfriend
Copy !req
863. every bit as much
as I am...
Copy !req
864. How's this?
Copy !req
865. When the tour's over
Copy !req
866. we'll see how things are...
how we feel, okay?
Copy !req
867. He was just
the tour manager.
Copy !req
868. He wasn't good
enough for you.
Copy !req
869. Well, that's not it.
Copy !req
870. No, you were going
to be rich and famous.
Copy !req
871. You could find
someone better.
Copy !req
872. I never said that.
Copy !req
873. Or maybe you were just
afraid to lose him
Copy !req
874. like all the others.
Copy !req
875. I love you
for who you really are.
Copy !req
876. I knew you
when you were nobody.
Copy !req
877. What makes you think
Copy !req
878. you can find a love like that
again so easily?
Copy !req
879. I'm not looking for love.
Copy !req
880. I'm looking for success.
Copy !req
881. You coming?
Copy !req
882. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
883. Oh, Bob...
Copy !req
884. Take me home.
Copy !req
885. I can't stand this.
Copy !req
886. Just one more.
Copy !req
887. Just a sec.
Copy !req
888. Just a sec!
Copy !req
889. Here you go, Terri— your
special Christmas dinner.
Copy !req
890. There's no way
that's Terri.
Copy !req
891. Where are we
supposed to be?
Copy !req
892. When?
Copy !req
893. This is just a year ago.
Copy !req
894. Last stop on the tour.
Copy !req
895. Thank you, Mary.
Copy !req
896. That's really kind of you.
Copy !req
897. Terri, any
chance you could
Copy !req
898. come down to the shelter
Copy !req
899. and sing for everybody
this year?
Copy !req
900. I wish I could, honey
Copy !req
901. but my voice
ain't what it used to be.
Copy !req
902. It would mean
an awful lot
Copy !req
903. to the folks.
Copy !req
904. You're our most famous client.
Copy !req
905. Oh, God!
Copy !req
906. Well, listen,
I-I'll see what I can do.
Copy !req
907. I can't promise anything.
Copy !req
908. Thanks, Terri,
and Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
909. And you, too, sweetheart.
Copy !req
910. I had no idea.
Copy !req
911. How'd she end
up like this?
Copy !req
912. This isn't
Where Are They Now?
Copy !req
913. Okay, that's on later.
Copy !req
914. When was the last time
you checked up on her?
Copy !req
915. Did you ever give
her any money?
Copy !req
916. No.
Copy !req
917. She had her share.
Copy !req
918. It's not my fault
she blew it.
Copy !req
919. As far as I know,
she never worked again.
Copy !req
920. She tried.
Copy !req
921. She tried to start
a new Desire.
Copy !req
922. Well, I couldn't
let that happen.
Copy !req
923. Course not.
Copy !req
924. Your lawyers crushed her.
Copy !req
925. That's how she ended up
like this.
Copy !req
926. Oh, this place is
giving me the creeps.
Copy !req
927. Why won't you
accept responsibility?
Copy !req
928. Just get me out of here.
Copy !req
929. Don't blame me!
Copy !req
930. I'm just showing you
what's been.
Copy !req
931. I don't make this stuff up.
Copy !req
932. Well, I don't care.
Stop haunting me.
Copy !req
933. Stop being so hauntable!
Copy !req
934. Oh, you skinny bitch!
Copy !req
935. Did you say skinny?
Copy !req
936. Oh, never again.
Copy !req
937. What the hell...?
Copy !req
938. Outrageous.
Copy !req
939. If there's anybody in there,
you better open up.
Copy !req
940. You are messing
with the wrong bitch, now.
Copy !req
941. I'm going to call security
by the count of three!
Copy !req
942. One... two...
Copy !req
943. All right.
Copy !req
944. You better watch out.
Copy !req
945. I'm coming in.
Copy !req
946. Come on, come on.
Copy !req
947. Don't do this to me.
Copy !req
948. Just one more shot.
Copy !req
949. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
950. Oh, hello.
Copy !req
951. Fancy a drink?
Copy !req
952. Mmm... guess not.
Copy !req
953. I said
Copy !req
954. who the hell are you?
Copy !req
955. Keep your shirt on.
Copy !req
956. I heard you.
Copy !req
957. You don't...
you don't recognize me, then?
Copy !req
958. No. What are you doing
in my room?
Copy !req
959. Having a party, baby.
Copy !req
960. What does it look like
Copy !req
961. I'm doing?
Copy !req
962. Who are you?
Copy !req
963. I'm the Spirit of
Christmas... Present.
Copy !req
964. Christmas presents?
Copy !req
965. No, not Christmas presents.
Copy !req
966. Christmas Present.
Copy !req
967. Everyone always gets that wrong.
Copy !req
968. Look, you can just call me...
Copy !req
969. Steve.
Copy !req
970. Steve.
Copy !req
971. Just Steve.
Copy !req
972. The belch is silent.
Copy !req
973. And how did you
get in my room, Steve?
Copy !req
974. Holiday magic.
Copy !req
975. Well, how'd you get past T-Bone?
Copy !req
976. Oh, him.
Copy !req
977. He's sleeping
like a baby.
Copy !req
978. Really cute, too.
Copy !req
979. Look, uh...
Copy !req
980. Charming as it is
to hang around here
Copy !req
981. talking to you all night,
we got to hit the road.
Copy !req
982. So, uh, grab hold.
Copy !req
983. I will not.
Copy !req
984. We've not got all night.
Copy !req
985. There's a lot of stops
and not much time, so grab hold.
Copy !req
986. Well, stop saying that.
Copy !req
987. Am I going to have
to get nasty with you?
Copy !req
988. Oh, you mean, you get nastier?
Copy !req
989. I do.
Copy !req
990. Ooh, you've got nice soft skin,
haven't you?
Copy !req
991. Hang on!
Copy !req
992. What a dump!
Copy !req
993. This is where your
people are staying.
Copy !req
994. Sweet, huh?
Copy !req
995. It was nicer
in the brochure.
Copy !req
996. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
997. Well, look, it's
not that bad.
Copy !req
998. Look. They have their
own refrigerator.
Copy !req
999. Oh.
Copy !req
1000. Well, still...
Copy !req
1001. Why don't you put them
in a nicer place?
Copy !req
1002. You have no idea
how much it costs
Copy !req
1003. to keep a crew this size
on the road.
Copy !req
1004. How much do you need?
Copy !req
1005. When are you going to spread
a little around?
Copy !req
1006. Ask my business manager.
Copy !req
1007. No, I'm asking you.
Copy !req
1008. It's Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
1009. Look at this place.
Copy !req
1010. Did somebody say, "Eggnog"?
Copy !req
1011. Oh, no!
Copy !req
1012. "This is the best
Christmas ever.
Copy !req
1013. God bless us, every one."
Copy !req
1014. Oh, shush.
Copy !req
1015. Anybody for Chinese?
Copy !req
1016. To our not so
benevolent...
Copy !req
1017. dictator.
Copy !req
1018. Ebony the Frozen-Hearted!
Copy !req
1019. Hear! Hear!
Copy !req
1020. Off with her head.
Copy !req
1021. Hey, you, you're fired
Copy !req
1022. Miss Thang!
Copy !req
1023. Oh, have a
sense of humor.
Copy !req
1024. They want to like you,
you know.
Copy !req
1025. You don't give them
a chance.
Copy !req
1026. It's Christmas Eve!
Copy !req
1027. Hello?
Copy !req
1028. Hey, it's me.
Copy !req
1029. Me?
Copy !req
1030. Me.
Copy !req
1031. I'm sorry,
I don't know any "me."
Copy !req
1032. Unless you're referring
to that husband guy
Copy !req
1033. that I used to see.
Copy !req
1034. All right, so it's not
our best Christmas.
Copy !req
1035. Oh, no, it's great.
Copy !req
1036. Santa's, uh, just left
Copy !req
1037. and-and Rudolph's sitting
by the fire...
Copy !req
1038. Come on, Kel,
it's just one night.
Copy !req
1039. And how many do we have left?
Copy !req
1040. What do you mean?
Copy !req
1041. I mean Tim.
Copy !req
1042. He's... well, the doctors
still don't know what it is.
Copy !req
1043. He's tired.
Copy !req
1044. He's not eating.
Copy !req
1045. He's losing more weight.
Copy !req
1046. He's weak.
Copy !req
1047. He's sleeping all the time.
Copy !req
1048. And when he does wake up,
he asks for you
Copy !req
1049. and you're not here.
Copy !req
1050. And I don't know what to do
Copy !req
1051. because every time
I look at him, he looks worse.
Copy !req
1052. Oh, I wish to God I was there.
Copy !req
1053. Then get on the damn plane,
and come here.
Copy !req
1054. I just got
to get Ebony
Copy !req
1055. through the concert tomorrow,
and then...
Copy !req
1056. Oh, to hell with Ebony.
Copy !req
1057. You have a family!
Copy !req
1058. How dare she...?
Copy !req
1059. We would have nothing
if it weren't for Ebony.
Copy !req
1060. And how do we cover
the medical bills if I quit?
Copy !req
1061. I don't know, but...
Copy !req
1062. You know I've had a good job
with her for 13 years.
Copy !req
1063. She's been very generous.
Copy !req
1064. Generous?
Copy !req
1065. Ha!
Copy !req
1066. Listen to me, Bob.
Copy !req
1067. Your son is sick,
and your marriage
Copy !req
1068. isn't looking
too healthy, either.
Copy !req
1069. Now, may I suggest
that you get your ass home?
Copy !req
1070. Right after the concert tomorrow
Copy !req
1071. I will get on a plane...
Copy !req
1072. I just hope it's not
Copy !req
1073. too late.
Copy !req
1074. Dad?
Copy !req
1075. Dad?
Copy !req
1076. Ye— sweetheart, hey!
Copy !req
1077. Is that you?
Copy !req
1078. How are you?
Copy !req
1079. I'm fine, Dad.
Copy !req
1080. Don't fight with Mom.
Copy !req
1081. She's just worried.
Copy !req
1082. So am I.
Copy !req
1083. I'll be okay.
Copy !req
1084. I'm just tired.
Copy !req
1085. Well, then,
do me a favor, kiddo
Copy !req
1086. and get a little rest, huh?
Copy !req
1087. And I will see you soon.
Copy !req
1088. I love you, Daddy.
Copy !req
1089. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1090. Merry Christmas to you, Tim.
Copy !req
1091. I had no idea
Tim was so sick.
Copy !req
1092. You had no idea
his name was Tim.
Copy !req
1093. Will he live?
Copy !req
1094. Not my department.
Copy !req
1095. I'm Christmas Present.
Copy !req
1096. Sure don't look good,
though, does it?
Copy !req
1097. Oh, God.
Copy !req
1098. What do you care?
Copy !req
1099. Might be better off, right?
Copy !req
1100. Can I go home now?
Copy !req
1101. Hell, no.
Pardon the expression.
Copy !req
1102. Let's see how everyone else
spends their Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
1103. Ooh! Park Avenue...
Copy !req
1104. Nice.
Copy !req
1105. Yeah, this is how
Copy !req
1106. your accountant spends
his Christmas Eve.
Copy !req
1107. Hmm. I must pay
him too much.
Copy !req
1108. Uh... Not exactly.
Copy !req
1109. How about another toast
to my boss
Copy !req
1110. my benefactress Ebony?
Copy !req
1111. If she had any idea
how much she really pays me
Copy !req
1112. she would choke and die.
Copy !req
1113. Which wouldn't be
such a bad thing
Copy !req
1114. considering
I've carved myself
Copy !req
1115. a nice little piece
of her estate.
Copy !req
1116. You're a bastard!
Copy !req
1117. I'm a genius.
Copy !req
1118. Oh, and so handsome, too.
Copy !req
1119. Oh, I'm so glad you agree.
Copy !req
1120. Yuck, what a creep.
Copy !req
1121. Imagine, stealing from someone
who trusts you.
Copy !req
1122. What a heartless
so-and-so.
Copy !req
1123. Come on.
Copy !req
1124. But, you see,
Christmas does suck.
Copy !req
1125. Nothing but sickness and death
and dishonesty and...
Copy !req
1126. At least you
got your fans.
Copy !req
1127. Those losers.
Copy !req
1128. Those losers bought
all 2,500 tickets
Copy !req
1129. to your overpriced concert
in 11 minutes flat.
Copy !req
1130. Where do you think
you'd be without them?
Copy !req
1131. Oh, pick it up,
will you?
Copy !req
1132. Hi, Bob.
How are you?
Copy !req
1133. Merry Christmas, Bob.
Copy !req
1134. Merry Christmas
to you, Mary.
Copy !req
1135. Hi, how are you?
Copy !req
1136. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1137. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1138. Even these people have Christmas spirit.
Copy !req
1139. They have nothing.
Copy !req
1140. Not even a place to sleep,
but they know Christmas.
Copy !req
1141. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1142. On the bright side,
these are the folks
Copy !req
1143. who will be benefiting
from your concert.
Copy !req
1144. Don't forget to come
to the show tonight.
Copy !req
1145. That's right.
Copy !req
1146. How much will
they end up with?
Copy !req
1147. Maybe enough for
a new blanket.
Copy !req
1148. You must be so proud.
Copy !req
1149. Hey!
Copy !req
1150. How you doing?
Copy !req
1151. You're invited, right?
Copy !req
1152. What did she say next?
Copy !req
1153. She said, "Come over for
your frozen turkey dinner
Copy !req
1154. "supermarket pie
and box wine?
Copy !req
1155. I don't think so."
Copy !req
1156. That woman thinks
Copy !req
1157. she's all that.
Copy !req
1158. She's got no idea
what she's missing.
Copy !req
1159. Well, if she'd rather have room service.
Copy !req
1160. Honey, why do
you even bother?
Copy !req
1161. For real, 'cause it's
a well-known fact
Copy !req
1162. that your Aunt Ebony
is a full-on
Copy !req
1163. master-class, diva bitch.
Copy !req
1164. Hear. Hear.
Copy !req
1165. You know,
I never liked him, anyway.
Copy !req
1166. No, no.
Copy !req
1167. She's... she's all right.
Copy !req
1168. What?
Copy !req
1169. You don't know.
Copy !req
1170. She's had a tough life.
It makes you hard.
Copy !req
1171. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1172. She has everything.
Copy !req
1173. You know what?
Copy !req
1174. She doesn't have this.
Copy !req
1175. She doesn't have Christmas.
Copy !req
1176. With everything
she's got, I pity her.
Copy !req
1177. I would never want to be
in her shoes, live her life.
Copy !req
1178. Never.
Copy !req
1179. Here's to my Aunt Ebony.
Copy !req
1180. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Copy !req
1181. No, no, no—
She may be mean
Copy !req
1182. she maybe bitter
Copy !req
1183. but I will keep inviting her
to Christmas
Copy !req
1184. every year until she comes to join us for a meal
Copy !req
1185. 'cause she's family.
Copy !req
1186. My father loved her,
and I love her, too.
Copy !req
1187. You're an angel, baby.
Copy !req
1188. Come on.
Copy !req
1189. Now, how about
a good, old-fashioned
Copy !req
1190. game of charades?
Copy !req
1191. Come on.
You all know how to play.
Copy !req
1192. Okay, Matt,
you're on.
Copy !req
1193. I think we better get going.
Copy !req
1194. Oh, please!
They're playing charades.
Copy !req
1195. Just a few more minutes.
Copy !req
1196. Okay, one round.
Copy !req
1197. It's a song title.
Copy !req
1198. Two words.
Copy !req
1199. First word.
Copy !req
1200. Chest.
Copy !req
1201. "Best of My Love."
Copy !req
1202. Pound.
Copy !req
1203. Hit? Beat!
Copy !req
1204. Come on!
Copy !req
1205. Heart.
Copy !req
1206. Uh...
Copy !req
1207. Heart.
Copy !req
1208. Heart?
Copy !req
1209. The heartbeat!
Copy !req
1210. "Heartbreak Hotel."
Copy !req
1211. What? That's two words.
Copy !req
1212. Second word.
Copy !req
1213. "Heartquake!"
Copy !req
1214. Klutz?
Uh, drunk.
Copy !req
1215. Somebody— "Heartquake."
Copy !req
1216. Earthquake.
Copy !req
1217. Oh, "Heartquake!"
Copy !req
1218. Finally.
Copy !req
1219. We really got to go.
Copy !req
1220. I thought
you were the party animal.
Copy !req
1221. Yeah, well,
your partying's over for one night.
Copy !req
1222. Whoo! I'm finally
getting used to this.
Copy !req
1223. Keep an eye out for
two things, Ebony:
Copy !req
1224. ignorance and greed.
Copy !req
1225. Both killers.
Copy !req
1226. Sneak up on you when
you're not looking.
Copy !req
1227. Ignorance, greed.
Got it.
Copy !req
1228. Can I get you
a drink or, uh...?
Copy !req
1229. Oh.
Copy !req
1230. Bye.
Copy !req
1231. Spirit Number Three,
right on time.
Copy !req
1232. I'm ready for you.
Copy !req
1233. Oh, it's you.
Copy !req
1234. Yeah, look, I'm sorry
it's so late
Copy !req
1235. but I didn't want to leave
without saying good-bye.
Copy !req
1236. Leave? Where are you going?
Copy !req
1237. I've got to get home.
Copy !req
1238. Tim is sick, and Kelly...
Copy !req
1239. Well, I need you.
Copy !req
1240. You can leave
after the concert.
Copy !req
1241. You don't understand.
Copy !req
1242. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
1243. No.
Copy !req
1244. No. Look, I got to try
and catch the first plane.
Copy !req
1245. Hey, Bob, you're
not a doctor.
Copy !req
1246. There's nothing
you can do for Tim.
Copy !req
1247. I don't see the point
in you rushing off to...
Copy !req
1248. He is my son,
and I've got to see him.
Copy !req
1249. Now, if you can't
understand that, Ebony...
Copy !req
1250. I don't care.
Copy !req
1251. You want to call it
a personal day, great
Copy !req
1252. you want to call it quitting,
that's fine, too
Copy !req
1253. but either way...
Copy !req
1254. good-bye.
Copy !req
1255. Hey, you can't walk
away from me!
Copy !req
1256. After all I've do...
Copy !req
1257. Oh!
Copy !req
1258. With all that fame and success...
Copy !req
1259. Come on, buddy.
Copy !req
1260. The roads you crashed...
Copy !req
1261. The nightmares, the headaches.
Copy !req
1262. Do you have any regrets?
Copy !req
1263. It's about time
they started to air this thing.
Copy !req
1264. She burst onto the music scene as part of a pop R&B trio.
Copy !req
1265. Did the interview
about six months ago.
Copy !req
1266. Tragedy launched her
Copy !req
1267. on a solo career
that made her a household name.
Copy !req
1268. Charges of cruelty
and miserliness were made
Copy !req
1269. but never stuck and she became
one of the biggest-selling
Copy !req
1270. female artists in history.
Copy !req
1271. Behind the Music.
Copy !req
1272. I'm not out to impress.
Copy !req
1273. I'm out there doing my thing
Copy !req
1274. and if people dig it,
that's great.
Copy !req
1275. Just watching my show.
Copy !req
1276. Coming up on Behind the Music
Copy !req
1277. the remarkable life
and tragic death
Copy !req
1278. of a diva.
Copy !req
1279. What?
Copy !req
1280. Legions of fans
Copy !req
1281. all over the world
bought her records
Copy !req
1282. and attended
her legendary live performances.
Copy !req
1283. Even those who knew her best
were in awe of her talent.
Copy !req
1284. Ebony was a great artist.
Copy !req
1285. One of the most important
in the history of my label.
Copy !req
1286. Oh, Ebony always knew
Copy !req
1287. that she wanted
to be successful
Copy !req
1288. above and beyond anyone else
or anything else in her life.
Copy !req
1289. She was a great singer...
Copy !req
1290. Great.
Copy !req
1291. And she'll continue
to be important.
Copy !req
1292. I mean between "best of" albums
Copy !req
1293. dance re-mixes,
the unreleased songs
Copy !req
1294. there's going to be
Copy !req
1295. Ebony music for years.
Copy !req
1296. So many were saddened to hear of Ebony's death
Copy !req
1297. from fans to stars, including
Copy !req
1298. one of the top artists
in the music business.
Copy !req
1299. I'll never forget how
it all went down.
Copy !req
1300. I heard that Ebony was recording
a song of mine
Copy !req
1301. and I was thrilled.
Copy !req
1302. Her albums always
shipped gold, minimum.
Copy !req
1303. And then I heard that she died.
Copy !req
1304. I was crushed.
Copy !req
1305. What he didn't know was that
Copy !req
1306. Ebony had recorded a demo
of the song just the day before.
Copy !req
1307. We rush-released it
as a memorial single.
Copy !req
1308. And it went through the roof.
Copy !req
1309. It was great.
Copy !req
1310. And the workers are just about
Copy !req
1311. finished with the new pool.
Copy !req
1312. Thanks, Ebony.
I'll never forget you.
Copy !req
1313. You bastard!
Copy !req
1314. Of course, it's always tragic
Copy !req
1315. when an artist dies so young,
but ultimately
Copy !req
1316. I have to say it's the best
thing that could have happened.
Copy !req
1317. Better now than later,
that's for sure.
Copy !req
1318. You know, she's worth ten times
as much dead as she is alive.
Copy !req
1319. Ten times?
Copy !req
1320. Make that 20.
Copy !req
1321. I'll have your head for this.
Copy !req
1322. Ebony's fierce temper was well-known.
Copy !req
1323. Who let this guy...?
Copy !req
1324. Get the... get your camera
out of here.
Copy !req
1325. There was an incident
that I remember.
Copy !req
1326. She pissed a director off
so much
Copy !req
1327. that he actually
smashed six television sets.
Copy !req
1328. One time, she fired
her personal staff
Copy !req
1329. for making eye contact with her
and not backing out of the room.
Copy !req
1330. Remember the time Ebony
stole Mariah Carey's dress
Copy !req
1331. at a TV taping?
Copy !req
1332. That poor girl.
Copy !req
1333. Had to go out
in her underwear.
Copy !req
1334. That's not true...
Copy !req
1335. exactly.
Copy !req
1336. Luckily, nobody noticed.
Copy !req
1337. I heard she once fired her cook
for eating some of her food.
Copy !req
1338. Her cook.
Copy !req
1339. He stole a rib roast.
Copy !req
1340. I think it's great
Copy !req
1341. that she'll be remembered
Copy !req
1342. but thank God we don't
have to deal with her.
Copy !req
1343. I mean, great singer...
Copy !req
1344. Nice butt.
Copy !req
1345. but such a bitch.
Copy !req
1346. She smelled really bad.
Copy !req
1347. Oh, you're all fired.
Copy !req
1348. That's why I quit.
Copy !req
1349. You know, some people say
she even took out Marli Jacob.
Copy !req
1350. I never believed that rumor.
Copy !req
1351. Cut the brake line.
Copy !req
1352. Anyway, that's, uh,
just what I heard.
Copy !req
1353. That is terrible.
Copy !req
1354. But the fans never abandoned her.
Copy !req
1355. When a cache
of Ebony's personal possessions
Copy !req
1356. hit the collectors' market
Copy !req
1357. price seemed to be no limit.
Copy !req
1358. We were lucky to come across
Ebony's personal diary.
Copy !req
1359. Very juicy stuff.
Oh, what a nightmare!
Copy !req
1360. I mean, we're talking
deepest fears
Copy !req
1361. emotional insecurities,
the real inside dirt.
Copy !req
1362. Quite a find.
Copy !req
1363. Of course, the book
Copy !req
1364. will be published this fall.
Copy !req
1365. An advance copy
of the book was leaked
Copy !req
1366. by one her closest friends
and confidants.
Copy !req
1367. Oh, no.
Don't read from my diary.
Copy !req
1368. "July 14th:
Copy !req
1369. "I've really got to break it off
with Anne Heche.
Copy !req
1370. "What's fun at a party
isn't a relationship..."
Copy !req
1371. This is insane.
I'm not dead. I'm right here.
Copy !req
1372. millions of records, millions of fans...
Copy !req
1373. a treasury of songs
we'll never forget.
Copy !req
1374. But what about those
who knew her best?
Copy !req
1375. Hey, let me out of here!
Copy !req
1376. Will I miss Ebony?
Copy !req
1377. I'll miss the gig,
I'll tell you that much.
Copy !req
1378. Well, I really
can't comment on Ebony.
Copy !req
1379. My lawyers have advised
against it.
Copy !req
1380. I miss Ebony.
Copy !req
1381. She was an enormous part
of my life.
Copy !req
1382. No! This can't be!
Copy !req
1383. I don't know that I can ever forgive her, though, um...
Copy !req
1384. We were out on tour, and she
never really gave us time off
Copy !req
1385. and because of that...
Copy !req
1386. I was away the day that, uh,
my son Tim...
Copy !req
1387. died.
Copy !req
1388. I'm sorry, can we, uh...
Copy !req
1389. can we stop this?
Copy !req
1390. But all this hasn't happened.
Copy !req
1391. This whole show...
Copy !req
1392. Oh, God, of course.
Copy !req
1393. They're not really
talking about me.
Copy !req
1394. There's some kind of mix-up.
Copy !req
1395. I'll just call them
in the morning
Copy !req
1396. and straighten things out
Copy !req
1397. as soon as I'm done
with A.M. America
Copy !req
1398. and the photo shoot.
Copy !req
1399. It's a simple mistake,
obviously.
Copy !req
1400. They... They're probably really
talking about Celine Dion.
Copy !req
1401. It is Celine Dion!
Copy !req
1402. Rest in peace, Ebony,
rest in peace.
Copy !req
1403. No!
Copy !req
1404. Not Bette Midler!
Copy !req
1405. This isn't true!
Copy !req
1406. None of this has happened!
Copy !req
1407. I can stop it from happening!
Copy !req
1408. This doesn't make sense!
Copy !req
1409. Why show me if I can't
do anything about it?
Copy !req
1410. I've learned my lesson!
Copy !req
1411. I have! I'll change!
Copy !req
1412. Just give me a chance!
Copy !req
1413. I swear it!
Copy !req
1414. I'll keep Christmas!
Copy !req
1415. I will!
Copy !req
1416. I'll keep it all year long!
Copy !req
1417. Every freaking day
will be Christmas!
Copy !req
1418. I love Christmas!
Copy !req
1419. Really!
Copy !req
1420. Please, I can change!
Copy !req
1421. No, I will! I'll listen!
Copy !req
1422. I'll...!
Copy !req
1423. What the...?
Copy !req
1424. What day is it?
Copy !req
1425. You there, boy... hello!
Copy !req
1426. Yes, you, you.
Copy !req
1427. Who the Dickens
you calling "boy"?
Copy !req
1428. I'm sorry
Copy !req
1429. I don't have
my contacts in yet.
Copy !req
1430. What day is it?
Copy !req
1431. Hey, aren't you
Ebony the singer?
Copy !req
1432. Yes, yes, yes, but I need to...
Copy !req
1433. You look much thinner on TV.
Copy !req
1434. Please, what day is it?
Copy !req
1435. Hey, it's Ebony.
Copy !req
1436. I'll be damned.
Copy !req
1437. Wait till
I tell my wife.
Copy !req
1438. It's Christmas all day.
Copy !req
1439. Was A.M. America on yet?
Copy !req
1440. Oh, let me look at the wide
screen TV in the back.
Copy !req
1441. Damn, girl, I don't know.
Copy !req
1442. It's 6:15 in the morning.
Copy !req
1443. Great.
Copy !req
1444. I've got time.
Copy !req
1445. Whatever.
Copy !req
1446. Excellent.
Copy !req
1447. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
1448. Hello?
Copy !req
1449. Kelly, it's Ebony.
Copy !req
1450. I'm so sorry
to wake you up this early
Copy !req
1451. in the morning,
but it's important.
Copy !req
1452. What's wrong?
Copy !req
1453. Nothing, just, uh
Copy !req
1454. I need you to do
some things for me, okay?
Copy !req
1455. You have a pen?
Copy !req
1456. Now calling rows 27 through 36
Copy !req
1457. for Eastern-Atlantic Flight 801
to Cleveland.
Copy !req
1458. If you are sitting in rows...
Copy !req
1459. 57th and Tenth.
Copy !req
1460. Come on, come on, come on.
Copy !req
1461. Answer the phone.
Copy !req
1462. Oh, Bob, please.
Copy !req
1463. What?
Copy !req
1464. Bob?
Copy !req
1465. Please do not
get on that plane.
Copy !req
1466. We've been through this.
Copy !req
1467. I know, I know... I know
exactly why you want
Copy !req
1468. to go but I'm asking you
to trust me just one more time.
Copy !req
1469. Please stay.
Copy !req
1470. I can't.
Copy !req
1471. I've got everything
under control.
Copy !req
1472. I swear, just wait there
Copy !req
1473. and I'll explain everything,
but don't leave.
Copy !req
1474. Ebony, if you're trying...
Copy !req
1475. Bob, believe me...
Copy !req
1476. I know you have absolutely
no reason to trust me
Copy !req
1477. but I promise...
Copy !req
1478. I won't let you down
if you do.
Copy !req
1479. Please?
Copy !req
1480. And Bob?
Copy !req
1481. Yeah.
Copy !req
1482. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1483. Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1484. four, three, two...
Copy !req
1485. This is A.M. America.
Copy !req
1486. 20 minutes past the hour,
and we are back with Ebony.
Copy !req
1487. And I just want
to wish everyone
Copy !req
1488. a Merry, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1489. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
1490. Now listen, this CD
Copy !req
1491. Dreaming of
an Ebony Christmas.
Copy !req
1492. It is one of the biggest
holiday albums this year.
Copy !req
1493. And I'm so grateful
to all of my fans.
Copy !req
1494. Well, it is also...
Copy !req
1495. the first CD with the new
$25 retail price.
Copy !req
1496. Oh, yeah, I'm-I'm
very sorry about that
Copy !req
1497. uh, but starting tomorrow
Copy !req
1498. I-I'm sending
thousands of copies
Copy !req
1499. to children's hospitals
all over the country
Copy !req
1500. a-and I will buy
stereos for those
Copy !req
1501. that don't have any,
and when I'm on the road
Copy !req
1502. I'm visiting sick children
in every city we play.
Copy !req
1503. That's great.
Copy !req
1504. Well, what else can I do?
Copy !req
1505. I beg your pardon?
Copy !req
1506. Well, I'm just really
open to ideas right now.
Copy !req
1507. It sounds like you're
already going to be pretty busy.
Copy !req
1508. Oh, Heather, it's so important
that I give back something now
Copy !req
1509. while I have the chance.
Copy !req
1510. Words we can all live by.
Thank you.
Copy !req
1511. When we come back,
Ebony is going
Copy !req
1512. to sing for us...
You know
Copy !req
1513. I'm really serious
Copy !req
1514. about that ideas thing.
Copy !req
1515. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1516. This is the final call
Copy !req
1517. for Eastern-Atlantic Flight 1600

sold out.
Copy !req
1524. Well, how many you got?
They ain't cheap.
Copy !req
1525. You do have tickets
for tonight, don't you?
Copy !req
1526. Hey, anybody ever tell you,
you look just like...
Copy !req
1527. Maybe I should try the place
across the street.
Copy !req
1528. I got 12. $3,000 each.
Copy !req
1529. I'm going need
a lot more than 12.
Copy !req
1530. Well, I could call
my brother's place.
Copy !req
1531. Go ahead.
Copy !req
1532. You realize this is going

Copy !req
1533. Do you take
American Express?
Copy !req
1534. Yeah.
Copy !req
1535. Call your brother.
Copy !req

Copy !req
1538. But Wolfgang, sweetheart
Copy !req
1539. you're the best chef

Copy !req
1540. Well, if I can't
trust you to do it
Copy !req
1541. who can I turn to?
Copy !req
1542. I need you, darling.

Copy !req
1553. Right, Ernie?
Copy !req
1554. Do you have any idea

Copy !req
1560. If not
Copy !req
1561. I can...
Copy !req
1562. No, of course. Come in.
Copy !req
1563. Everybody, this...
Copy !req
1564. is my favorite aunt.
Copy !req
1565. Your only aunt.
Copy !req
1566. Come to spend Christmas with us.
Copy !req
1567. Well, I can't stay.
Copy !req
1568. I have a concert tonight.
Copy !req
1569. Hold on.
Copy !req
1570. What's going on here?
Copy !req
1571. Well, I wanted to see you
and give you these presents.
Copy !req
1572. What's wrong?
Copy !req
1573. What do you need?
Copy !req
1574. I don't need...
Copy !req
1575. Well, that's not true.
I do need something.
Copy !req
1576. I need you to accept
my apology
Copy !req
1577. to accept me
into your heart.
Copy !req
1578. I've been so blind for so long
Copy !req
1579. and... I'm just so sorry.
Copy !req
1580. Baby, you going
to tell her?
Copy !req
1581. What?
Copy !req
1582. I'm pregnant.
Copy !req
1583. You're going to be
Copy !req
1584. a great aunt.
Copy !req
1585. I am! Oh!
Copy !req
1586. Oh, I am going to be
Copy !req
1587. a great aunt, you'll see.
Copy !req
1588. So, you sure
you won't stay?
Copy !req
1589. Well, maybe for one game
of charades.
Copy !req
1590. Okay.
Copy !req
1591. Here.
Great.
Copy !req
1592. Bob?
Copy !req
1593. Bob?
Copy !req

great care of him.

Copy !req
1624. These are for you.
Copy !req
1625. Hotel, theater tickets,
everything.
Copy !req
1626. You can't sit in the hospital for 24 hours a day.
Copy !req
1627. You might as well
enjoy New York.
Copy !req
1628. I don't know what to say.
Copy !req
1629. Please, it's the

and another, this and that
Copy !req
1665. the whole spirit
of Christmas thing

for awhile
Copy !req
1667. and then I had a really
bad night's sleep last night
Copy !req
1668. but you know what?
Copy !req
1669. Sometimes all it takes
is a bad night's sleep
Copy !req
1670. to make your head straight.

in the morning.
