he built an entire

Peruvian village.

And solved all of their

soil erosion problems.

You could see the bright

side of a plague.

I'm on my way.

Not without your present!

Merry Christmas, Mrs. Munchnik.

A fruitcake?

Yes.

Remarkably, like the one

I gave you last year.

Thank you so much, Philip.

Oh, let me help you.

(I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

I'll be home.

Merry Christmas!

For Christmas.

Say hello to your dead husband's sister for me.

Thank you, I will.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Please have snow

And mistletoe

And presents on the tree

Help!

Help! Philip! Catherine!

It's Mrs. Munchnik!

Hello!

What are you doing with that?

It's my protection

against the Seaside Strangler.

Oh, give me that, honey. We

don't know anything about guns.

Oh, Felix, I could have

sold that Santa Claus suit

and bought our baby a car seat.

We don't even have a car. What was I supposed to wear?

You cut up all my clothes.

I was mad!

Honey, you were mad

the day we met.

A man on the boardwalk comes up to me

and says, "smile." A total stranger.

And you screamed at him,

"shut up!" remember?

I did, didn't I?

You were right to.

It was a total invasion

of your privacy.

It was.

Hey! Look what I got for you.

This means we can have the

baby in the hospital for free!

All we have to do is swear

we're completely broke

and have absolutely no way of

supporting ourselves and never will.

Oh, God! Felix, I don't want

to hurt your feelings, but...

You are the only person in my whole

life who's never hurt my feelings.

You're a loser. I can't have a loser

dropping in and out of my baby's life.

I'm not a loser, I'm an artist.

Why can't you paint on canvas

or paper like anyone else?

Because, I'm a wall artist!

But you don't have a wall!

But someday I will have a wall.

Someday I'm gonna do my

masterpiece on a great big wall.

Right out there

on the boardwalk.

And you're gonna be in it and

the baby's gonna be in it.

And the sand and the sea and the

stars are gonna be shining!

Mmm, I want a businessman.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about breaking up, Felix.

That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, come on, honey.

I'm leaving.

Where you going?

I'm going for a walk.

Gracie, honey, come on.

You're just stressed.

And don't try

to follow me either!

Susan! It's Philip.

Uh, uh, let me just go somewhere

private where we can talk.

Tannenbaum's evicting us. The bastard!

I'm sorry, Philip.

You're gonna have to get another job.

Susan,

I've never asked you for money

before, but you're a loan officer.

And a small loan, say

$5,000, could save us.

I don't know what else to do. I

don't know how to tell Catherine.
