A Puppy for Christmas Page #3

---

visit for Christmas,

I wanted to give her one.

[Buster barking]

Well if it isn't

the little sandwich thief!

Hey!

What's this guy's name anyway?

NOELLE:
Buster.

Because he keeps

busting up my life.

I have no boyfriend, no

home, and soon, no job.

Todd broke up with me.

Uh...

well could you not head

to your parents place?

For some holiday cheer?

[nervous chuckle]

[chuckles] Yeah.

You mean ah, with my Mom

and her racist boyfriend?

Or my Dad and his new

family that hates me?

Yeah, I know this is

gonna sound strange but,

why don't you come with me?

We've got plenty of

room at the farm.

NOELLE:
Are you asking me to

go to your family's place?

LIAM:
Well, it's only

four days till Christmas

and you can't stay here.

NOELLE:
[sighs] Well...

LIAM:
Hey, maybe some fresh

air would do you good, you know?

There's plenty of room for

this little guy to run around.

Could help you train him.

NOELLE:
Well...

He does need some training...

[Liam chuckles]

You know we're going to a farm?

Maybe uh...

maybe some jeans?

I'm not gonna wearjeans.

[chuckles] Suit yourself.

NOELLE:
Wow, we are

reallyout here.

So uh, when is

Jessica coming up?

Well, her trip to Peru got

extended

so she'll be coming up tomorrow.

Hmm.

I cannot wait to

show her all of this.

I can't wait to meet her.

You'll love her!

She ah, [laughs]

she stole my heart.

I knew the minute I met

her that I--

[sighs] I'm sorry,

is this hard for you?

I didn't even think before I

started talking--

No, it's okay.

Honestly it's...

kind of nice to talk to

someone at thebeginning

of their marriage instead

of the end of it.

That research of yours has

got you pretty stumped, huh?

You know,

when I hit a road block,

I just start writing

without thinking.

NOELLE:
I bet.

LIAM:
I write from the heart

and just keep on going.

So uh, your last

"hang gliding" article,

that was from the heart?

That wasparasailing, okay?

-Hmm!

And I wrote

that one from my soul.

NOELLE:
Wow.

Anyway, ah...

back to you and Jessica.

How did you meet?

LIAM:
We were doing one of these

outdoor adventure courses,

and uh, [laughs] we were both

crawling on our hands and knees

through mud - it was one of the

obstacles in the race, and ah,

you know I think when you see

someone else go through sort

of that much physical pain...

[conversation fades]

[upbeat Christmas music]

[Liam & Noelle laughing

and celebrating]

LIAM:
Okie dokie.

I just gotta pop it

into 4 wheel drive here.

Gets a little bit bumpy

up ahead, hold on.

[Liam whistling]

LIAM:
Whoa - there we go!

[upbeat Christmas music]

NOELLE:
Wow.

It's so peaceful.

Wait until you see inside.

[Noelle chuckles]
