Chasing Christmas Page #3

---

Let's get down to business,

shall we, Mr. Preston?

Uh, hmm.

We need your help.

What?

Good night, Mr. Cameron.

Yup, good night.

And Merry Christmas.

[bell dings]

[phone rings]

Cameron Coats.

Well, well, well.

What a surprise.

Working on Christmas Eve.

What do you want, Alison?

I'm calling to wish you

a Merry Christmas.

Well, there,

you said it.

Jack, are you

still wallowing

in the holiday spirit?

Did Suzie get

the gift I sent her?

Yes, she got the dress,

and we're both happy to know

there's a Hookers 'R Us

in London, too.

Oh, and I suppose

you did better.

Oh, wait.

I remember, Jack.

You didn't get

our daughter anything

for Christmas, did you?

I wonder why, Alison.

Are you still banning

the entire holiday, Jack?

Don't you think that's

getting a little immature?

Would you like

to hear something

really immature?

What?

[muffled yelling]

[laughs]

[blues]

Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun

It is to ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah

In a one-horse

open sleigh

[Jack]

You know, Suzanne,

I was thinking

that since we're in the store

that has literally everything

that you might see something

that you really, really want,

and then I could

buy it for you.

[Suzanne]

But, Dad,

this is a drugstore.

Wait, you mean

a Christmas present?

No, see, it's nothing

to do with Christmas.

It's just one of those things

a cool dad does for his daughter

any day of the year.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Anything you want.

You name it.

Anything except makeup.

Good evening, ladies.

Excuse me.

- Yeah.

- Do you have any other cola?

You need more than

what we got?

Well, I like this brand,

but I want the plain can.

I'm not following ya.

That's Santa Claus.

Don't want him on there, okay?

You got something

against Santa Claus?

No, but I just don't support

what he represents,

so... plain cans.

Santa not give you,

like, a train set

when you were a kid?

- That's funny. That's--

- Hey, Dad!

I got this

really great lipstick,

and it's on sale.

I'm sorry, but you have

to put it back because...

we are no longer shopping

in this establishment.

- Why not?

- Because apparently

the employees do not

respect the customer's

holiday beliefs.

Dad, you're embarrassing me.

Sir, I respect

your holiday beliefs.

I just, um, I just think

they're kind of weird.

Oh. Did you

not hear that?

Dad, they are kinda weird!

Honey, do not side

with the help.

Dad!

[groans]

Merry Ho-Ho!

So you just want me

to visit Jack Cameron-- Ah.

And-- And tell him that

he's gonna be visited

by three spirits?

- Yeah, that's it.
