Just Getting Started
1
Welcome to the Villa Capri.
Located in the heart of the desert
is the resort community
that takes you to paradise.
You've worked hard all of your life,
and now...
No!
That son of a b*tch
is in Palm Springs.
He's basking
in the sun and playing golf.
While my husband
is drinking toilet wine in supermax!
Now the only thing that I want
from you for Christmas
is that rat's head in a box!
And make it look like it's an accident.
A few more days till Christmas
My favorite time of year
If we're lucky we'll see Santa
Rudolph and his eight reindeer
The snow keeps on fallin'
Sleddin' down the hill
Frosty's frozen on the lawn
Countin' down the days until
We gather 'round decorate the tree
Singin' holiday songs
Spices fill the air
Smell of cookies everywhere
- Hi, Duke.
- Hey.
A few more days to Christmas
The very best time of year
Firelight is glowing
On everything we hold dear
Just a few more days till Christmas
A few more days
Till Christmas is here
- Hi.
- Thank you.
Santa!
Oh! You're very generous, Duke.
Could I get you to sign
this receipt for me?
Sure thing. You just bought your way off
- the naughty list.
- Pleasure.
Rudolph and his eight reindeer
Firelight is glowing
On everything we hold dear
Just a few more days till Christmas
A few more days till Christmas
- Hey boss!
- Great job, guys. Very festive.
- Excuse me. This is Mr. Diver's spot.
- Perfect!
Mr. Diver make you wear those clothes?
Shine it up for me, Elf.
- Nice tree.
- Who is that in my parking spot?
Oh, that's a new resident,
Leo McKay.
Yeah, he just checked in
last night and he's actually very...
He's got a ten-gallon hat
on a five-gallon head.
Paid all cash.
Cash?
Well...
Let's invite him to my private poker game.
You got it.
I'll show him who's boss.
- In the nicest way.
- Of course.
- It's crooked.
- Hm?
- And there's a bald spot.
- So what? A lot of trees have flaws.
A lot of people have flaws.
You can put the bad side
of a tree against the wall.
What do you do
with the bad side of people?
- That's deep.
- Write it down.
Greetings, my darling.
Be a dear and get 5,000
out of petty cash for me.
Not a problem.
Got some stuff for you to sign here, sir.
Did you know that the builders
of the great cathedrals of Europe
in the stone somewhere
just to acknowledge
that only God is perfect?
Where do you learn all this stuff?
College of life, my boy.
Well, we've got
the gardener's Christmas bonus,
the extra security cameras for your villa,
to pay out to the entire staff,
live animals for the nativity scene.
The camels were a little expensive.
You can't a nativity without camels.
The Wise Men came from the East.
Got to give them respect.
Oh, and we have a letter
from the Rotary Club
confirming your acceptance
- of Man of the Year Honors...
- I can't accept. Can't accept.
I'm uncomfortable in the limelight.
You seem comfortable in the limelight.
My golf clubs! Oh, perfect, perfect!
So, I had them close the face
on the driver by a degree and a half.
You've been slicing a little recently.
Should take care of it.
Good, good, good.
I think I'll just run on out to the range
and let the big dogs eat.
Oh, Duke!
Hm?
- Five thou. Mm-hm.
- Thank you, my darlin'.
Duke, you checkin' me out?
Every delicious inch.
That's a nice tree you got this year.
Well, thank you,
but I'm a little concerned
that some of the residents
might not like a flocked tree.
Well, you know me, Duke.
I like a nice flockin' from time to time.
