Window Wonderland Page #2

Synopsis: It's no holds barred when two Manhattan department store employees vie for the same job during the busy Christmas season. Sloan Van Doren is a driven young woman determined to become the next window dresser at McGuire's department store and to uphold a 95-year-old artistic holiday tradition. Serious and professional, she's the polar opposite of the happy-go-lucky Jake Dooley, who also wants the job. When Mr. Fitch, the head of advertising and promotion, gives them a challenge, the competition is on: each will create a series of seasonal storefront windows twice a week until Christmas. The creator of whichever window display gets the most attention from passersby will get the job. As they go through their paces, with Jake's obvious talent grabbing the public's attention, a silent but mutual attraction develops between the pair, hampered by the contest and the presence of Kenneth, Sloan's blueblood boyfriend, who can't understand the importance Sloan is placing on this job.

Yay.

Let's go.

I like this guy.

Oh, dashing through the

snow

in a one-horse open sleigh

over the fields we go...

Flanders and missy

want to meet up later.

Oh, um, I can't.

I really need to get home

and start sketching.

- It's early.

- I know.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Okay, so, um,

to clarify,

if you get this,

you'll be working

over the holidays?

Well... yes.

So, what about Aspen?

Yeah.

We could...

We could go in January...

After new year's?

Everyone will be gone by

then.

So, what, it's like Pompeii?

The entire town vanishes?

Yeah.

I mean, everyone that

matters.

Oh.

Come on, nobody gives up

skiing in Aspen

to put up balloons in some

windows, Sloan, nobody.

It's not just some window.

It's...

It's my chance.

You know, I could be

head window designer

at mcguire's.

Anyway,

I probably won't get it.

I mean, they'll most likely

give it to Jake.

No, you're going to get it.

I'll have my dad call

old man mcguire

who belongs to our club.

You'll get it.

What? No.

No, no, please don't do

that.

Sloan, this is

how things happen.

People call in favors

all the time.

But, see, I don't want this

to be a favor.

I need to get this on my

own.

I can do this.

Okay.

All right, that's it

for tonight, folks.

Jake?

Jake...

Wake up, we're done.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Jake...

You have until 10:00.

Thanks.

All right?

Lock up on your way out.

Will do.

Major progress

tonight, everybody.

See you next Thursday.

Nine-letter word

for shrew?

Uh... harridan?

Fishwife?

Hey, Mac.

Battleaxe.

It's battleaxe.

Why did you just

point at me

and say "battleaxe"?

What? Oh, come on,

it's a term of endearment.

A soldier goes to war, he

needs his battleaxe, right?

- Thanks, honey.

- Yeah, thanks, hon'.

Hey, don't. No.

Come on, what happened to

that Christmas spirit?

All right,

the bigger question is

why is an adult

eating a gingerbread man

at 7:
30

in the morning?

Adult?

Oh, thank you.

I'm forgetting something.

What am I forgetting?

Don't look at me.

I don't know what day it is.

It's Wednesday.

It's Thursday.

What?

How did that happen?

So, uh, big night

with you and sir Kenneth?

No. Sketching,

actually

oh, sketching.

Yes. For the window?

That's what I forgot.

Paper.

I forgot paper.

You know what? Sorry.

Real quick.

What?

Gee, thanks.

You're kidding me.

You're just

doing this now?

Inspiration strikes

when it strikes.

Yeah, no,

take your time.

You have a whole,

ooh, seven minutes.

Yup.

Ah-ah-ah-ah...

Oh, you're ridiculous.

Hey, that's good,

that's good.

A little snowman, maybe?

People, people, people,

clearly, this assignment

was above your pay grade.

Well, everything's
