The Perfect Christmas Present Page #3

---

Have you tried asking her?

This is good.

Thanks, babe.

What's your favorite

childhood memory?

Some answers require

a little more legwork.

I've found that if you really

wanna get to know someone,

you should read

their favorite book.

It says a lot.

The questions don't always

have to be complicated,

like number four. How do they

spend their downtime?

Ah. Hi.

The secret to my business is...

Well, there is no secret.

It isn't a gift,

it's just a lot of research

and understanding

that deep down,

most of us want the same thing.

Sometimes,

the simplest questions

can lead

to the most profound answers...

but not always.

Of course, it does help to ask

the big questions

to find out what inspires them,

what moves their world.

This takes discretion.

People aren't always honest,

even with themselves,

when faced

with questions like this.

But if you really wanna know

what makes someone tick,

you might only get the answer

by seeing it for yourself.

Truth be told,

these questions might feel like

they're impossible to answer,

but with the right person,

they can be painfully obvious.

Hm.

No, I am not giving up,

I'm saying it's impossible.

- There is a difference.

- Come on, dude.

I thought you were supposed

to be good at this.

I am good at this,

but the process takes time.

And two weeks is not enough,

especially for someone

as interesting as Jenny.

Congratulations, by the way.

She's a winner.

Much more difficult to figure

out than most of my clients.

Yeah, I know.

That's why I'm asking for help.

Come on, Tom,

you're not gonna let

one little speed bump

throw you off, right?

But it can't be done,

I'd have to focus

all of my attention on her

to get the information

you're missing.

That's a good idea.

You'll figure it out in no time.

- Come over for dinner tomorrow.

- What?

- Yeah.

- Why?

So you can meet her.

Get the intel in person.

So, Tom, Paul tells me

you're a consultant.

- He did?

- Y-yeah.

Well, when I told Jenny

you were coming over for dinner,

she asked what you do,

so I told her.

Yeah, but Paul

didn't really elaborate.

What sort of, uh, consulting

do you do?

Uh, you know, um,

finances and branding

and outreach.

- The youzhe.

- Those all sound like buzzwords.

- They do, don't they?

- Mm-hmm.

- What about event planning?

- Hm?

Well, it seems you have

a wide array of contacts,

given the breadth

of your expertise.

Mm. Well...

Yeah. Yeah, I, uh, I-I...

Yeah, I dabble in, uh,

event planning.

- Really? That's perfect.

- Mm-hmm.

You're just the guy

I've been looking for.

I'm gonna get some more wine.

You want some more wine?

- You guys want some more wine?
