The Holiday Page #3

You know, I would never cheat on you,

not under any conditions.

Neither would I, okay?

Look at me. I'm down here

sweating like a pig. And look at you.

The only woman on Earth

who breaks up with her boyfriend...

...and doesn't even shed a tear?

I mean,

that's gotta mean something, right?

Why does it bug you so much

that I can't cry?

Esophageal spasm.

Oh, God, it's a big one.

- No, it's okay. I'll be all right.

- I know, I know. I'm thinking about me.

Ethan. Look, it's over.

You know, we might as well

be honest with each other.

Just tell me.

Did you sleep with her?

Just say it.

What's the difference at this point,

right? I mean, why torture me?

Just put me out of my misery.

- What are we doing here...?

- Okay.

Yes, okay? I slept with her.

Are you happy?

I've been sleeping with her.

She's in love with me. She's young.

Look, this is not a proud moment

for me.

I mean, you should just know that.

Amanda!

Did you say, am I happy?

I didn't mean that. You get me nuts

sometimes, I say things I don't mean.

In the world of love, Ethan...

...not that I'm such a genius at it...

...but in the world of love,

cheating is not acceptable.

No matter what you think...

I know you have a very high opinion

of yourself, but this isn't all me.

- Okay.

- So when you're not in such a rage...

...I think you'll see that too.

- Yeah, maybe.

Maybe when I stop having visions

of you two together...

...I will see your side.

You gotta be...

Punched him in the face.

- Is this a bad time?

- No, no, I'm just...

- I'm just flipping out a little bit.

- Oh, okay.

God. Okay... No. I'm okay.

God, why would this happen?

No. You know what? I'm all right.

Hi.

What's up?

Ben needs you.

Rebecca Green was just your

average 20-year-old.

Until the father she never knew left

her something she never expected.

Don't scream.

- Your father left you something.

- I never met my father.

- Now you know he was interesting.

- Lindsay Lohan.

James Franco.

- Deception.

- You happen to have two guns?

I didn't think one would be enough.

Christmas Day.

Amazing! It finally looks like a hit.

And that is why they pay you

the big bucks.

I think we should go back

to the original cut on the end.

- It's so much stronger.

- I agree.

And make "Christmas Day"

twice as big...

...but try it in a red. Like a happy red,

not like a Scorsese red.

Happy red.

Okay, so we're done.

- Great.

- All right.

Hey, you know, let's just take off

for a few weeks.

- Yeah.

- What do you mean? I'm not kidding.

You always say that

this is our busiest time.

I need to get out of town.

You know? I think I need

some peace and quiet...

...or whatever it is people
