I can't find the figures for the nativity.

Careful with the Virgin Mary.

She's touchy.

Where's Baby Jesus?

Here comes the Holy Spirit.

He'll know.

Let's not waste time.

I'll be in the office.

I've got things to do.

So now you're in a rush too?

Hold it.

There. We got it.

It's nice, huh?

We can make snow balls

to decorate it.

Come along.

Wait for me!

Marcel is sick!

Benoit, put these sweaters

on the shelf.

These are girls' sweaters.

I don't do that.

- These too.

- What have you got on your face?

Makes you look cheap.

You looked bad enough before.

Watch it!

Hey nonny nonny no

- How many flowers are left?

- Seven.

Stupid idiot.

Careful, Benoit.

You'll break your other arm...

or something else.

Benoit, come here.

Let's see if the curtain works.

- What do I do?

- Wait a minute.

Pull the cord, but not too fast.

Wait till I tell you.

Not yet!

Wait till I tell you!

Little jerk.

Now!

Okay. Close it.

Perfect. It's just right.

Now for the decorations.

Take the ladder away.

No, don't put snow on yet,

sweetheart.

Wait till Baby Jesus is in place.

First I place St. Joseph.

Madam Ccile,

I'm going to move the bulbs around.

Good idea, Carmen.

You have good taste.

Now for the Virgin Mary,

and Baby Jesus in the center.

The nativity scene

is so beautiful this year.

- Jesus doesn't look too good.

- No, he doesn't.

He had an accident.

We dropped him.

But he's so small,

it won't show.

- I'll put some snow over here.

- Now you can.

It's lovely.

That's enough snow now.

All right, let's go.

- What are you looking for?

- Tape.

Right where it always is.

- Need a hand?

- No, thanks.

That'll do.

What about me?

Sorry.

- Not bad.

- I told you. It feels good.

You're right.

It warms you up.

You're wearing your brooch.

I thought it went well

with the dress.

I shortened it a bit,

'cause my legs still look pretty good.

You're right.

It looks very nice.

You know what?

My wife isn't bad-looking.

Come on, stop it.

Sweet old man.

Old... that's for sure.

I said sweet.

- Have more.

- It's stronger than I thought.

- It's good for you.

- I'm not used to it.

It'll loosen you up.

Do I need it?

Damn nails.

Hey nonny nonny no

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Come back day after tomorrow, boys.

Merry Christmas.

Don't drink too much water.

It's not good for you.

Can't wait to get a look, huh?

Want to see it right now, huh?

Well, you'll have to wait.

It's a surprise.

Dying of curiosity, aren't you?

Come in and buy.

I've got good deals

for the ladies.

What have you got for kids?

I've got toys for the kids.

- What kind?

- What kind do you want?

An electric train.
