Watch closely

Very good

Good, son. Very good.

It's not me, it's him.

Him?

And who is he? He doesn't want to say.

Put the puppet down and

concentrate on the game.

No.

What are you laughing at?

At what's he's saying

And what is he saying?

Is he saying "Nico,

you're a very bad boy."?

No, he's saying you are a very bad boy.

Really? Is that what he said?

Make my hair stick up.

Okay, hold on.

It's going to get in your eyes.

Keep still.

Where did you put it?

You're not even going to tell me?

God, you're so paranoid.

Lonely kids invent other people.

It's his imaginary friend.

Didn't you ever do that?

Who do you expect him to play with?

With you?

How dare you throw snowballs at me?

Guys, let me get a photo.

"One, two, three... "

Check the list, that's what it's for.

Okay, I will.

Take him with you.

Come on, honey, go with Daddy.

Forget it, he'll get over it.

Nico, take a look at what's in there.

Tell me something

Are the puppets handmade?

Yes. Samuel, the carpenter, makes them.

You must know him.

Yes, we do.

Do you want one? They're very cheap.

Okay, yes, I'll take one.

Which do you like?

The green one.

Is it a gift?

Yes. For the boy?

Yes.

He seems like a nice guy. Samuel?

Yes, he's a good boy.

Although, he sometimes

gets into trouble.

Trouble?

Yes, women, you know..

He really likes women.

Don't we all?

What's up, Daddy?

What?

I forgot to put bay leaves on the list.

Okay, I'll run into the village.

No, don't worry, I'll go.

I need some air.

Okay, but don't you want

me or Nico to go with you?

No, you don't need to

See you later.

Hi. Hi.

There weren't any bay leaves.

Oh, that's a shame.

There were no suckling pigs left,

They gave me an older one

We'll end up throwing half of it away.

Why don't we invite Samuel to supper?

Samuel?

Yes.

I don' know.

It's really a family occasion.

Nico spends too much time with just us.

He's bored.

It will be more fun if he comes

That's true.

But I thought you didn't like him.

Nonsense. He's a nice guy.

He's done us lot's of favours.

Besides, who else do

we know around here?

I'll ask him. I know where he lives.

HEY. cool!.

What do you say, Nico? Thanks.

Don't thank me.

Santa delivered it to me by mistake,

but there was a note

saying it was for you.

What a great idea of Santa's.

Too bad we won't be able to keep him.

We don't have room.

Not at your apartment.

I can keep him when you're gone.

I hope the boy doesn't

grow too fond of him.

Well, we'll see.

I'm going to serve supper.

Look, Mum, he wants milk.

Would you like a drink?

A good red wine beats

any white wine, right?

I agree.

Do you like suckling pig?

I'm sure it's delicious.
