And a partridge in a pear tree

17.84.

- You really got to go?

- I still got some presents to buy.

Believe it or not.

Talk about last minute.

Plus, I promised my sister-in-law

I'd make the desserts.

I'd ask you to come, but it's just family.

Sorry.

I hate to see someone alone

on Christmas Eve.

- Will you be OK?

- I'll be fine.

Merry Christmas.

And they sing of Christmas.

Bah, humbug!

Might as well close shop for the night.

We'll finish tomorrow.

But, sir, tomorrow is Christmas Day.

- Tim! Pete.

- Hey, how are you doing?

- Good. How are you?

- How was London?

- Great. It snowed and everything.

- So, where are you now?

New York City. I've got to visit my

aunt and uncle in Hartford tomorrow.

I was wondering if I could stop in

and say hi.

Come up here New Year's Eve.

I checked, it's fine. Got a tux?

- Sure, no problem.

- All right. Let me give you directions.

- Take the Triborough Bridge...

- Hold on, let me get a pen.

- OK, go.

- New England Freeway to exit four...

- All right, tomorrow afternoon?

- See you tomorrow.

You the owner?

- You want a tux at 9 a. M?

- Why would I call you at home?

- Cash or credit card?

- Big cash.

- Thanks a lot.

- OK, come on in.

Hey, stop that.

- I'm starving.

- We need champagne.

Diana, can you get your father?

- Have you seen my father?

- No.

- Diana, Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year!

- Excuse me. Where's Daddy?

- In there, wrestling with Burt Tuck.

...not the doctors...

- Burt, you're wrong. You're full of sh*t.

The AMA has got to realise people

don't give a rat's ass about that,

when a simple appendectomy

costs $6,000.

Where does it say Congress answers

to the AMA and not to their electorate?

- I'm sorry I interrupted.

- It's all right. Go on.

People don't want

AMA deciding on health

any more than Exxon

running the Interior Department.

You ever been

on an AMA golf outing, son?

- No, Senator.

- Well, take Dr Tuck here.

He'll fix your bursitis,

sharpen up your short game,

wipe out your campaign debt

before you're off the first green.

Yes, Senator.

You're right. You're there to represent

the people who elected you.

But to do that you've got to get elected,

and that takes money.

So, every day you try to remember

where you drew the line.

- What's your name?

- Peter Burton. I'm at UVA with Tim.

- Nice to meet you, Peter.

- It's an honour.

Now that you've given me indigestion,

Burt, let's eat.

Finally! I'm starving.

You did fine. I'm John Lawry.

I'm an aide to the senator.

Peter Burton. I was just reading

your profile in the Washingtonian.

- Just?

- Just recently.

The article was in

a year and a half ago.

Some stack in the library.
