Four Christmases Page #2

Synopsis: Brad and Kate have been together three years, in love, having fun, doing all sorts of things together with no intention of marriage or children. Christmas morning, they're on their way to Fiji, having told their two sets of divorced parents that they're off to do charity work. Through a fluke, they have no choice but to visit each of their four idiosyncratic parents. As the day progresses, Brad and Kate remember growing up, each learns more about the other, and Kate realizes that her life may not be as good as it could be. Do they know each other well enough to weather the storms families bring?

details you give...

...kinda throws them

off the set.

You lie to your families

at Christmas time?

You really

can't do it without lies.

Try it.

But don't you

ever feel guilty?

For taking a vacation

on our vacation?

No, not really.

-You look sexy with a tan.

-Thanks, babe.

You could take this one.

This one here.

-Like that.

-Yeah, that's a good idea.

I made a couple's

massage rev for the weekend.

-You did? It's great.

-Yeah.

I'd

check us in online after this.

I did it.

You checked us in?

You're the best, sweetheart.

I picked up a pair of

noise-canceling headphones.

-You did not.

-For the next time.

-Oh my God.

-I'm excited.

We'd sign up for the scuba

boat as soon as we get there...

...I heard it fills up

really quick.

Do you feel like we've

been on this vacation before?

The scuba diving, we did that

in Bali and Costa Rica.

Yeah, but this is Fiji.

We've never been to Fiji.

That's a different island.

The resort is beautiful.

And the scuba diving

will be different.

It's different water and fish.

It's gonna be really good.

I'm excited.

-lt'll be amazing.

-Are you excited?

-I am. I'm really excited.

-I'm excited.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

Hey, Mom, merry Christmas.

Yeah.

Listen. Actually I'm sorry

I didn't call you sooner.

We're actually heading out

to Burma.

Yeah. That's exactly

the island in Asia, Burma.

We're inoculating babies.

Yeah, we'll be

helping out this kids.

It's such a great cause,

but honestly...

...it just sucks that we won't

be with you and the family.

You know how much...

I know it's been three years.

I wish I would've

called you sooner.

But Kate sent all

the gifts and stuff to you.

Okay.

That's Merry Christmas

in Burmese.

All right, I'll tell her.

I love you too. Bye.

Learned

"Merry Christmas"?

I gotta take everything

to the next level.

Come on, let's do this.

I'm excited.

Attention, San Francisco

passengers.

All flights

have been grounded...

...due to

weather conditions.

Sir, excuse me.

Your flight is not going out.

But what I can do

is get you set up for standby...

...on the first flight

to Fiji tomorrow. Okay?

Tomorrow won't be great.

We've scheduled

the couple's massage...

I'm sorry, sir. I don't make

the fog, I deal with it.

The best I can do is get you

a suite at the Radisson.

They have lovely accommodations

next to the airport.

You promise?

At the Radisson?

-Did you hear that?

-Brad.

No, that's terrific.

Would it be possible

to take us out...

...and get us McDonald's

as desert?

I'll start missing

flights often.

With this kind of

red carpet service.

-Terrific. A suite.

-Brad, please.

That's not helping, Brad.
