Collateral Beauty Page #3

Thanks.

Honey, I got...

I got all kinds of stuff planned.

I got a Christmas tree for us.

Then sucks for you.

I got us tickets to Hamilton.

Then sucks for Hamilton.

That's a tough ticket, Allison.

I've already seen it.

(STAMMERS) You did?

You saw that with Mom and Barry?

And Odell Beckham Jr.

And Odell Beckham?

Yeah.

He's one of Barry's friends.

Why?

Why don't you want to spend

the holiday with me?

I miss you.

Because I hate you.

Because you're a philanthropist.

Because you broke Mom's heart.

- (STAMMERS) Philanderer.

- ALLISON:
What?

The word you're looking for

is philanderer, not philanthropist.

They have a slightly different meaning.

Well, you would know.

Mmm-hmm.

Look, I agreed to tell you in person,

and now I have.

Hey,

have a good Christmas.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Hold it.

Hey.

(ELEVATOR BUTTON CLICKS)

So, rapid fire round while I got you?

Cavs are in town.

Christmas showdown at the Garden.

I never give your seat away.

I just go solo, but we could go.

Don't even have to talk.

Don't even have to look at each other.

We can do just what we're doing right now

and just watch the game.

Be like old times.

Right, number two.

We're gonna lose the Danworth account

because that's always been

your relationship.

And they're not feeling the love,

as you might imagine.

So that's gonna happen.

Whatever though,

because we've got an offer

from Omnicom, and it's real.

17 bucks a share.

Please consider it, because...

Yeah, yeah.

Because they leave total creative control

and they let everybody keep their jobs,

which I know you care about,

because you love these people.

Good talk.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

The Beijing boys are here.

Oh, God. No one wants Chinese coffee.

Well, we're selling it.

The Manchurian macchiato. Mmm.

What are we casting?

- Cruise line.

- Now, see, that's good copy.

"Shed your skin, find your life."

Sorry, it's

"Life is found when you shed your skin."

- Does it really matter?

- Yes, because I wrote it.

Oh, well, my way's better.

- Really? How?

- AMY:
Yeah.

Well... Wait, what is your way?

BOTH:
"Life is found

when you shed your skin."

Which, you know, kind of hits you here.

"Shed your skin, find your life."

Hits you here.

That does hit me here.

Right?

You can have it for free.

Just, wait. Wait.

Wait.

- Hey, Frankel.

- Yeah?

"Shed your skin, find your life."

"Shed your skin, find your life."

Everybody, okay?

Got it.

She made it better.

WHIT:
Hey!

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

No, no, no.

Hey, hey!

(HORN HONKING)

BRIGITTE:
"And you talk to me

in such tones

"as if it wasn't the breath in my lungs

that gave you life."
