She's sitting out there knitting something.

A potholder.

I hate to talk about money

at a time like this.

A time like what?

Oh, God, I don't know

how to say this.

This is really hard for me. My

psychiatrist thinks we should break up.

What? I didn't know you were

going to a psychiatrist.

I'm not actually going to one. I've

been dating one for four months.

This is so sudden.

I didn't want to tell you

this over the phone.

I really wanted to fax you.

But you don't even have a fax.

Susan?

Susan?

It's so quiet suddenly.

You'd expect everyone to be

thinking of jumping out of windows

or slitting their wrists on

Christmas Eve, wouldn't you?

Merry Christmas. Lifesavers.

How may we help you?

Hello? Hello?

Hello? Static again.

Hello? Hello? Hello?

I can't hear you.

Try clicking the little button.

I'm having a problem hearing.

Look, I'm at the end of my

rope, and I want to die.

Click it. Click it, please.

Go ahead.

Hmm. We were disconnected.

If a person's really upset,

they always call back.

It's working.

Oh, what fun it is to ride

in one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way.

Oh, so much fun it is to

ride in one-horse open.

Help!

Help! Hey!

I like eating cheese it

tastes very nice Help! Help!

I'm stuck up here! Everyone loves

cheese especially white mice.

Can't you hear me? Hey, Mr. Capshaw!

Jingle, jangle, jing

I'm stuck up here!

Can't you hear me?

Jingle, jangle, jang.

I like to eat stew

it tastes very good

Wait!

Wait! I'm up here!

Are you deaf?

We could have a charity ball.

Who would I take?

We could have a garage sale.

Susan has all my old records.

Oh, geez!

A call! I'll get it!

Line one.

Hello, this is Lifesavers.

Merry Christmas.

Am I disturbing you?

No, no, no, not at all.

I'm very lonely tonight.

Is there any chance

I could stop by and talk?

Well, it's not in the rules, but if you are

willing to make a donation, say, five grand.

I'm kidding!

Everyone makes fun of me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Please, can't I come by?

I don't want to be alone.

No. No, no, no. We have

rules, but we're listening.

Everyone at Lifesavers

is with you.

Talk to us.

I'm so alone. "So alone."

Is there anyone in your

family you can call?

No, they hate me.

Hate you. What about church?

Please, can't I stop by?

I'll only stay a minute.

I need to see someone.

Please, just give me

the address.

I cannot give out the address.

It's Christmas.

It's 17 Pier Street! Thank you.

I'll be right over.

On the first day of Christmas

My true love gave to me.

A partridge in a pear tree.

On the second day

of Christmas.

My true love gave to me.

Hey, Arnold Schwarzenegger!
