Eden, please reconsider, I beg of you.

(SMACKING LIPS)

You don't want to work on Christmas?

You're not dedicated enough to this theatre?

Fine, stay home. But if you do,

don't bother coming back, ever.

(MEOWS)

(EXCLAIMS)

(SIGHS)

(SCOFFS)

(ALL CHUCKLING)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

What?

You need to talk to Eden.

- Please, you've known her forever.

- She listens to you.

Eden doesn't make a move

without talking to you.

You're the only one

who can change her mind

without getting us all fired, right?

Right. Keep your Christmas plans.

Okay, seriously, Eden, you can't...

"Eden doesn't make a move

without talking to you."

Eden...

What, they all think

I'm wrapped around your little finger?

I'm the star.

You're asking them to give up Christmas.

They have plans. I have plans.

Bigger plans than my next show?

Yes.

I'm leaving town tomorrow and going home.

My whole family will be there

for Christmas dinner this year.

That hasn't happened since we were kids.

(SNIFFS)

You of all people should know

how important that is to me.

You know what should be important to you?

Me.

When I was discovered, I could have had

any costume designer in London

for my company,

but I insisted on you, my oldest friend.

I did that.

I know you did, and...

And you don't care.

But I expect that when push comes to shove,

I know only one person

who's truly there for me, me.

It's like Aunt Marie always said,

"In a selfish world, the selfish succeed."

(SNEEZES)

It's not a selfish world.

And do you really

want to listen to what Aunt Marie said?

My Aunt Marie was brilliant.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here

right now, and neither would you.

But if you can't appreciate that,

maybe you shouldn't work here any more.

Tell me you're not threatening to fire me.

I've seen you backstage

sewing things that aren't for the show.

I guess working at the top theatre in London

isn't enough for you.

You had to pick up something on the side.

What? No, that's not what you think.

Prove it, and show some dedication.

Take down the trees, stop the carols,

and get ready to work tonight, tomorrow,

and all through the week.

Anyone complains, anyone goes home,

anyone breathes one word about Christmas,

they're out,

including you.

(MEOWING)

(SCOFFS)

Does everyone understand?

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(ALL GROAN)

- Yes.

- We...

- Understand.

- Oui, oui.

What?

You have no idea

how sad it makes me to see you like this.

Merry Christmas, Eden.

I said not to mention that word.

That is the last time I want to hear it!
