A Christmas Wish Page #4

you just have to do it.

How did you

get so smart ?

Always have been.

You'll see.

This will be

the best Christmas ever.

I love you.

I love you, too,

baby girl.

Can't we w-wait

'til after Christmas ?

No, because I want you

to get to know your teachers

before the term starts.

And the kids.

Yeah.

That's what worries me.

Look, Miles.

This is a chance

for you to start over.

It doesn't have to be like

it was before, okay ?

They'll make

fun of me.

The way I look,

the way I talk.

Look.

You need to stand up

for yourself.

You need to be

proud of who you are.

When you show

them that...

they'll respect you.

They'd respect me more

if I was a karate master.

But you're not.

You are you.

And you are someone

worth knowing.

Just show them that.

Whatever.

Promise ?

It won't do any good.

Then again, it might.

Let's go.

( school bell ringing )

First and last ?

How much is that ?

Is it furnished,

by any chance ?

Would you consider

any less ?

Okay.

That's out.

Would you consider

any less ?

That's okay, all right.

That's out.

Yes, I'm calling about

the house

that you have for rent.

Three children

and one adult.

No, no pets.

That's out.

Well, we just moved here

and we're not settled, so...

Okay.

Oh, man.

Okay.

Do you want something

to eat, baby ?

Here, come here.

Let's hug.

You go to sleep.

( giggling )

Oh, my gosh, Lilee.

Oh, my gosh !

You are a ninja baby.

Oh, what a mess.

Heard you had some

trouble last night.

Oh, hi.

I did, but, um,

everything's okay.

Glad-- glad to hear it.

Are you always on duty ?

No, I just

started a shift.

It's the afternoon.

I'm sorry, it sounds like

I was grilling you.

Were you ?

No, I mean, I just...

Just met you

at 3:
00 a.m.

and now I'm seeing you again,

and so it just seems like...

I don't know,

like you're always working.

Not always.

I'm sure your wife

wouldn't like that anyway.

Yeah, no,

she wouldn't.

If I had one.

Oh.

That's life.

I guess it's not always

like the brochure, right ?

No, no.

( sighing )

Um, are you

gonna stay here ?

At the motel ?

I hope not.

I'm sort of hoping to find

a house that I could afford,

but it doesn't look like

that's gonna happen.

There's not

a lot out there.

Did you talk to

Don Meyer ?

Who ?

Oh, he's the local property

manager.

I'm sure he can find

something in your price range.

You mean

no price range ?

I'm sure he can

find something.

He's got

special help, you know ?

No.

Right.

He's-- he's the local pastor

as well.

Oh, well.

Doubt he'd like to help

a heathen like me.

I haven't been to

church since I was ten.

Gotta help heathens

once in a while

or he wouldn't

have a congregation.
