Christmas Inheritance Page #2

---

Okay... When?

(Pittman):
Tonight? Really?

- You're kidding.

- It's not a big deal, babe.

Yeah, but what about Maui? I mean,

those tickets are non-refundable.

We don't leave until Christmas Eve.

I'll be back in plenty of time.

And you gotta do this whole trip on

100 bucks and a roundtrip ticket?

I can do it. I've already got

somewhere to stay.

Uncle Zeke owns

this beautiful inn up there.

- It's really cool.

- Yeah, but why just 100 bucks?

Because that's all Uncle Zeke and

Dad had when they started out.

- Ugh.

- Come on.

I think this is a cute idea.

Okay, and if you do this,

uh... "challenge,"

you get to run the whole outfit?

Okay, don't make this sound

like a gangster movie.

But yes.

A hundred bucks

is not a lot of money.

You better bring

your credit cards.

I can't.

It's part of the rules.

(laughing)

That's insane.

Besides, all my cards

have my name on them.

- Yeah. So what?

- Oh...

That's another part of the deal.

See, people treat you

a little bit differently

when they know

that you're inheriting

a multimillion dollar company,

so I have to go incognito.

Baby...

why are you doing this

to yourself?

Because...

I'm tired of people seeing me

as some dumb rich kid.

I want to prove

to my father...

and to myself... that...

that I can take care of things

on my own.

And not I'm not just

the "Party Heiress."

Uh... Oh, yeah, that's...

So... what's all this about,

anyway?

- The Christmas Letters?

- Yeah.

Have a look at that greeting card.

On the back.

It's the original business plan

for Home & Hearth Gifts.

When my Uncle Zeke and Dad

came up with the idea,

they just grabbed the nearest

thing and wrote it down.

What about all these letters?

Well, every Christmas, they

write each other, like, a...

a sort of newsletter to say

what had happened that year,

good or bad.

- Wouldn't it be easier to just, you know, send an email?

- Look at the dates.

Some of those letters

go way back before email.

Oh. Anyway, the whole point

is that they're forced

to get together every Christmas.

It's like a company tradition.

Anyway...

Yeah, we should get going.

The traffic to the airport's

probably crazy right now.

(laughing)

Uh, did you take a look at the

ticket your father gave you?

No. Why?

Well... let's just say

we won't have to worry

about airport traffic.

(PA):
The Port Authority Bus Terminal

welcomes you to New York City.

Please be aware of your...

(man):
Ho-ho-ho!

Here you go. Okay?

And remember,

this only works if nobody knows

- who you are.

- Got it.

- Right? Good.

- Ahem.

- And say hi to Zeke for me.

- I will.

And don't worry about me, okay?

I can take care of myself
