This is your last chance.

- All right, we'll do breakfast.

Oh, no, please.

They'll think I'm a suicide.

Whoa. Oh, come on.

Gimme a break. Aagh.

You can be saved.

- Don't let go. God bless you.

NO. NO, please.

Merry Christmas.

Hi, this is Claire Phillips.

I'm not here, as usual.

Leave a message and I'll call you

back. Ho-ho-ho. Merry Christmas.

Claire.

This is Frank...

Cross.

I know it's been...

...15 years since we talked,

but...but I really need

to talk to you right now.

Something terrible's happened.

Or maybe not, I don't know. But l...

I have to talk to you. It's urgent.

Call me at any hour.

My number is 674-95-65...674...

Damn.

Well?

- Well, what?

Did you get the bonus?

I'm drying my head with it.

We'll be OK.

What are you doing in there?

Trimming the tree.

We don't have a tree, Mom.

- We do now.

NO.

- Yes.

Don't plug him in.

- Plug him in.

Take it off. Take it off him.

Oh, but Mom, he looks so pretty.

He's so cute.

When are we gonna get a real tree?

- When they're free.

Have you seen the paper, Frank?

- Ooh, she's pretty.

She's dead, Frank.

This 80-year-old grandmother

was watching your 'Scrooge' promo...

...and she keeled over.

It scared her to death.

This is terrific.

I knew that ad worked.

You can't buy publicity like this.

Excuse me.

Mr Cross, you're needed on the set.

Run that promo EVERY half hour.

I want a disclaimer.'Anyone with

a heart condition MUST not watch.'

Where were we?

- I was being haunted.

No, it's got to be REAL gold.

I don't understand why I can't get

anybody to do what I want.

Gimme a break.

I will not allow this costume on the air.

Why not?

- Because you can see her nipples.

I WANT to see her nipples.

This is a Christmas show.

Charles Dickens

would want to see her nipples.

I can't hardly see them nipples.

And these guys are REALLY looking.

You can go shake a tail-feather.

And you, just go.

Watch out.

Thanks, boys. Get the nurse.

Get the nurse.

Make sure her nipples are covered up.

Lumpy.

Lumpy.

Hi.

I'm sorry to just...

I only got your message this morning.

I called, but you weren't in yet.

I called again,

but you were busy. So l...

God, you look different.

- Well, it's been a while.

It's your hair.

It's so short.

You look sort of grown up.

Yo, Frank.

I mean, Mr Cross. Check it out. The

girls are tough. It's on the money.

Would you excuse me for a moment?

Ha.

Can I turn her head?

No.

- OK. That works, see?

H'up and bum.

A little bootie here for ya.

See?

You just had to see it in context.

Will you move her, please? Thanks.

Allez-oop.

Will she be OK?

- Yeah, she's a real pro.

What about you?

You sounded like you'd seen a ghost.
