Last Holiday Page #5

Synopsis: In morte veritas. Georgia Byrd clerks at a New Orleans department store. She defers pleasure: cooks gourmet meals, eats Lean Cuisine; likes a co-worker in silence; has savings, but hasn't left Louisiana. All that changes when a CT Scan discloses she has three weeks to live. She cashes her savings and heads to Europe's Grandhotel Pupp, where Chef Didier presides. She checks into the Presidential Suite, orders everything on the menu, snowboards, and comes to the attention of the chef and the hotel's powerful American guests: a Congressman, a Senator, a retail magnate, and his mistress. She has nothing to lose, so she tells them what she thinks. Will the truth set them free?

Rule three:
When is enough, enough?

Enough is never enough.

Enough is enough right now,

Mr. Adamian!

I'm trying to talk to you!

I'm trying to tell you what's...

Why am I even wasting my time

trying to talk to you?

You know what? I quit.

- You what?

- I quit.

- You can't.

- Why can't I?

Fourth quarter sales are in the toilet

in this store...

and all the other stores, too,

for that matter.

Your department has

the highest profit record in the place.

I just... I can't afford to lose you.

How come

you never told me this before?

I didn't want you to do

what you're doing right now.

Holding me up for more money.

Which I'm happy to pay.

As God is my witness.

As God is your witness, huh?

As God is your witness?

All right. I'm prepared to offer you

50 cents more an hour!

75 cents more an hour. 75.

Ms. Byrd, $1 more an hour. $1.50.

Hey, Georgia. Your shift done already?

Yeah, I'm done.

Listen, I feel terrible

about what happened the other day.

- I wanted to make it up to you.

- It wasn't your fault.

Well, anyway...

Hey, I have a pair of tickets

to the Hornets game.

Now, the game

is a couple of weeks away...

but I know you're a busy woman,

so I wanted to put my bid in early.

Sean, there is nothing I would rather do

than to go to that game with you.

Yeah? That's great.

Well, look, I figured we'll go

to dinner early, then after the game...

I can't go, Sean.

I mean, it's not like I don't want to. I...

I can't.

You have to be somewhere else.

Yeah.

Hey, well, Georgia. Georgia!

Look.

I already paid for the ticket, so...

maybe your plans might change, huh?

Brothers and Sisters...

I'm sad to announce that...

Senator Dillings will not be gracing

our flock this morning as planned.

Pressing business

in our nation's capital has kept him.

But I'd like to take a moment of prayer

for the Senator.

He toils so hard

toting the burden of our welfare.

And I ask the good Lord

to guide his hand...

in his important good works. Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Oh, why me?

- Oh, dear Lord, why me?

- Georgia?

Why me, Lord? Why me, Lord?

- Oh, dear Lord! Lord, why me?

- Bless the Lord.

Oh, Lord, no!

Oh, no, no.

Lord! Lord, come on!

Come on, Lord, why?

I don't understand!

I followed your Commandments, Lord

I followed your Commandments, Lord

Why in heavens me?

Why in heavens me?

I never slept around

even though my sister did!

Why in heavens me, Lord?

Why in heavens me?

I never cussed my boss

or nothing like that!

Why in heavens me, Lord?

Why in heavens me?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

- Why?

Come on, now, somebody tell me why!

- Why?

- Why?

Why, Lord?

Why, Lord?
