Damn, I was lucky!

Sometimes you step in horseshit

and you wind up smellin'...

Excuse me, you know,

I think that one's mine.

I didn't see that.

What do you want? Why'd you come here?

I came here to continue developing

my business empire

while working on my shaky golf game.

Oh, you... you play golf?

Not well, but honestly and earnestly.

Well, uh, perhaps

you will give me the chance

to win back my money on the golf course.

Perhaps I will.

You know, a true gentleman

does not walk away a winner.

A true gentleman keeps the game alive.

Oh, my, my, my, my! Behold the evidence.

Whatever can it mean?

She's lookin' for deep comfort

and companionship and maybe a soulmate.

Nuh-uh.

She's not lookin' for soulmate.

She's lookin' for a few precious hours

of intimate connections

with no questions asked.

Maybe I'll just go over there

and pick up the tab, huh?

Can't compete with that.

Sh*t!

Well, could if I wanted to.

Can I buy you another round?

You can scram is what you can do.

The first noel

Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay

In fields where they

Season's greetin's, y'all.

Good news to report.

Mike Shank from villa 68

had a successful hip replacement surgery

and should be back to the Villa Capri

in just a few days.

What the...

That's not my regular camel guy.

Where's my regular camel guy?

Uh, he's uh, under the weather.

Oh, uh, corporate is sending

a regional director down

to do a year-end review in case it...

slipped your mind.

I will look down upon him

from a great height. Bring him on.

Yeah. Bring him on.

Ladies, have you seen the new guy?

He's moving into villa 71.

There's new food on the buffet.

Yes.

Oh, in the air, there's a feelin'

of Christmas.

I'm Leo McKay,

and you young ladies might be...

Look at that.

I spent years juggling stories

to keep those women apart,

and in 20 minutes,

he's got them lined up for a three-way.

Well, uh, four-way if anybody's countin'.

He's not showing me any respect.

- No respect.

- No. Nothin'.

But he's gonna find out this is my town.

You're the Duke and this is your domain.

I told you.

- Don't upset him, Larry!

- Duke don't like that.

- Well, hello.

- Hello.

I'm Roberta. We met earlier.

You know, I neglected to mention

that as president

of the Glad-Handers Welcome Wagon Club
