Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You

---

MARIAH:
I'm gonna tell you

the story of my first love.

It was cuddly with fuzzy ears and

a little wet nose, and, well,

more about that later.

It happened at Christmas time.

Hey, come on now.

I said, "It happened

at Christmas time."

MAN:
Happy holidays!

MARIAH:
That's more like if.

GIRL:
What are you

getting from Santa?

MAN:
Great to see you!

(BELL TOLLING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

MARIAH:
Every Christmas,

I asked for a puppy to love,

and this Christmas,

I especially wanted one.

Hi, Mariah!

I like your dog.

Oh... Thank you.

Have you heard of the Community Charity

League fashion show we're putting on?

Mmm-hmm. I signed up

to do refreshments.

MARIAH:
Of course

I had heard of it.

It was only the biggest

talk of the town.

Such a cool idea to raise

money for the pet shelter.

Fashion and friends.

Matching outfits

for you and your pet.

We're talking about

being in the show.

Really?

Oh, my gosh!

I would love to be in it!

Thank you so much!

Great. We're short

one girl with a dog.

Oh...

I don't have a dog.

Mmm, sorry.

We thought...

Wait!

I'm gonna have one soon.

I'm gonna ask for one

for Christmas.

Supercool!

Perfect!

Come meet us at school today

at 4:
00 for rehearsal.

We are so excited for you

to be in the show with us.

Be on time!

Be on time!

MARIAH:
Vicky and Grace were only the

coolest girls in my whole school.

I mean, these two

had it going on.

They were going places.

BRETT:
(SCOFFS)

Good luck with that.

Mariah, why did

you tell them that?

Mom and Dad won't

let you have a dog.

MARIAH:
My little brother

and sister, Brett and Beth.

So supportive.

(BRETT AND BETH LAUGHING)

They loved teasing me about

how much I wanted a dog

and how many times I had asked.

But they were right.

Who was I kidding?

I'd been asking for a puppy every

Christmas, every birthday, every...

You get the idea.

But my mom and dad

always said no.

To be fair,

my dad was allergic to dogs.

(HUMMING)

(DOG BARKING)

(SHRIEKS)

(SNEEZES)

MARIAH:
I'm talking

really crazy allergic.

(LOUD SNEEZE)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

MARIAH:

And Mom was very, well...

She liked to keep

the house just so.

(VACUUM CLEANER WHIRRING)

(HUMMING)

Oh, honey, we're doing

all red and white this year.

MARIAH:
Since Mom and Dad wouldn't

budge on letting me have a dog,

I went over their heads,

straight to the big guy.

We're talkin' Santa Claus.

Every year,

I put "puppy" on my list.

I was sure Santa really

wanted me to have a puppy,

but, for whatever reason, he

couldn't seem to get it together.

I mean, I didn't know how they ran

things up there in the North Pole.

(HUMMING)

(WIND BLOWING)

Dagnabit!

But it seemed to me like maybe

Santa was in over his head.

(HUMMING)

Um, boss?

Excuse us, sir.

You forgot a couple...

(DOG WHIMPERS)

(SANTA LAUGHS)

MARIAH:
Hmm...

I'm not sure about that.

Maybe Mom and Dad

had something to do

with Santa not

getting me a puppy.

(SANTA HUMMING)

Sorry.

I'm running late again.

Butterscotch.

My favorite!

You can have the cookies as

long as you don't leave a dog.

MARIAH:
Nah.

Mom and Dad would never have

done anything like that to me.

Anyway, this Christmas,

I was determined

my present would be a puppy.

(BARKING) Gorilla!

Come back, Meatball!

Whoa! Gorilla!

Down, Meatball!

Mariah!

What's up? (GIGGLES)

Hi, Holly.

Hi, Ernesto.

Let's do a whipsnake!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Uh, I gotta go.

We just got here.

I have fashion show rehearsal

with Vicky and Grace.

Vicky and Grace?

Ooh! Popular.

I thought you and me were

doing refreshments together.

Uh, well, loan
