'Oh, Lord. Open up the door, Gina.'

'I know Martin in there.'

Open up the door, girl.

Oh! Where is he? Oh!

Girl, where he at? Where you at, boy?

Where you at? Um..

Ooh, damn!

What, you've been staying there? Ew!

Oh.

Where is the boy, love? Where is he, Gina?

He's not here? Why? What happened?

I just came back from getting my hair done, alright?

And then Martin gonna walk by and hit me

in the head with a snowball?

Oh, no!

I don't play games. I don't have time for 'em.

Trust me, Sheneneh. He is not here.

He better be here. Oh, he better be here.

Oh, look at that hair!

- He messed you up. - Oh, I know.

You ain't laughin' at me, Rudolph the red bone reindeer.

That's right. You got in the snow storm and you are lost.

Gina, Gina, where is Gina?

Ba-ba! Ee-ee! Didn't see you.

That's it. You know what? Get out.

Take your weave sickles and go.

What?

Did I stutter?

You, you, no-no-no, I-I, girl, no, you..

- You. - You.

You know 'cause you ain't worth it.

You ain't even worth it, Gina.

Because, see, I know I could whoop you.

I know I could bust you up

so you're not worth it, okay?

- Please. - I could body slam you, boom.

And no one even know what's wrong with your back.

Okay? Okay?

Well, let me tell you something, Gina.

You tell your man, Martin, when you see him?

Oh, Sheneneh, dawg is gonna get the capping, okay?

Ca-caw, ca-caw, capping, okay? Alright?

And you tell your friend Pam I'm lookin' for her too.

Why?

Just because its season's beatings, okay?

Boo-boo, ba-ba, o-oh, you were scared, weren't you?

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh!

And, Gina, Merry Christmas.

Happy Kwanzaa and feliz navidad to all.

Boop!

Yo, baby, Sheneneh come up here lookin' for me?

Yes, Martin, we almost got into a fight.

She said she was gonna cap me.

Girl, please, alright? Sheneneh ain't capping nobody.

Alright? She's just trippin', babe.

Alright, look it. Get your coat. School's almost out.

Let's go hit fourth graders in the back of the head.

Snowball. Fire.

Ba-bah! Oh! Come on, let's roll.

Martin, really, look, I really don't have the time, okay?

I gotta finish all these Christmas cards

and I'm just not in the mood, honey, okay?

Gina, get into the mood. Get into the spirit.

Girl, I got a great Christmas plan for us, huh?

I say, uh, we sleep on Christmas Day.

Then the next day we get up and go buy each other gifts.

What do you mean "The next day?"

See, Gina, the way I figure, right

is that nobody really knows

when Jesus was born.

Mm-hm.

So for 50 percent on..

...I say he was born on 26th.

You know? 26th, 27th.

Whatever works with your schedule, you know the sale.

- You know what I'm sayin'? - The sales, the sales.

That sounds very Christmassy, Martin.

- Oh, come on, I'm there-- - Wait, wait, wait, wait..

Oh, look it's from my mom and dad!

Oh, look at the house at Christmas.

See the decorations. That is beautiful.

- That is really nice. - Decoration?

Is that what to hang up with it?

Decoration, girl, if you want decorations I got decorations.

Now, Gina, see, I was gonna wait a few days

'cause, you know, I didn't wanna bring it out now.

But if it will lift your holiday spirits

you're gonna have it now.

Decorations.

Girl, let me get this tree.

Here's your tree.

Now we gotta decorate it.

Aw, come out with the little ball.

Let's decorate your tree.

Merry Christmas!

That's, that's great, Martin.

Aw, come on, babe, don't punk out on me now.

Look, we agreed that we would spend Christmas together.

You and me alone.

Now, come on, boo, where's the smile?

Come on, just a smile for me?

Oh, listen, listen.

Carolers, listen.

Yeah, see? Uh-huh.

It's already beginning to sound like Christmas around here.

You gotta dream.

Ah, check it out. Aw!

Yeah!

Come on, lotta kids. Come on, lotta carolers..

'Merry Christmas!'

'From Sheneneh and all the fourth graders'

'you little jackass!'

- Martin, Martin, Ma-Martin. - Yeah.

Look, man.

Nobody, and I mean nobody

makes raisin pudding like your mama.

- Aw, thank you, Tommy. - Mm!

But ain't no raisins in the pudding.

- Hey, Martin. - Yeah.

You got any more of this duct tape, man?

I'm tryin' to finish wrappin' Big Shirley's gift.

In newspapers? Cole, that's cheap.

Right.

Yo, Tommy, it's not just newspaper, okay?

It's the food section, okay?

Gift on the inside, coupons on the outside.

It's a gift that keeps on giving.

- You know, you know.. - It's in your heart.

Martin, I gotta talk to you.

I just came from Gina's apartment

and she's really depressed.

Damn, you just walked in.

Now I'm depressed.

See a pattern?

Shut up, Martin. I'm serious.

She's sick of this place.

She wants to be at home in Philadelphia

with her parents for Christmas.

No, she doesn't, alright? Me and Gina talked about it.

Alright? And she wants to be with her man.

You know why? Because she loves me.

Yo, hey.

No, no, no, no. I don't think so.

She probably only agreed because you bullied her into it.

Face it, you're selfish.

Selfish? Ha-ha, you're calling me a bully?

No, you are wrong because that I'm not.

- Cole, am I a bully, man? - Mm?

- Sometimes. - Come on, man, am I a bully?

No, no.

- You know, uh-uh, Tommy. - Huh?

- Am I selfish? - No.

Yo, that better be on your callin' card, man.

I'll call you later, ma.

Martin, what do you gonna do?

Hey, if my woman wants to go to Philly

I take her to Philly.

But I am not selfish. Okay?

For real, you will really do that for her?

Yes, because that's who I am.

- Alright? - Good.

Now, see, usually around this time

I throw y'all out of my apartment.

But see, it's Christmas.

I am full of the holiday spirit.

You know what? Y'all can stay here.

I'm gonna leave, alright?

Just make sure you take care of my place.

There you go. Wooo! Eh-uh.

In five, four, three, two, one.

You know, you are right.

Sometimes I can be a bully. Uh-huh.

- Why should I change who I am? - Right. Right.

Uh. Follow me.

Yeah, that way. Make a left or whatever.

And look, y'all be careful out there.

Holiday traffic is a bitch.

My God. Jeez.

- Yo, what's wrong, man? - Ah, I don't know, Martin.

Where did we go wrong?

You know, I'm trying to bring everybody together, you know?

Black, white, everybody.

We're-we're all brothers.

We're all bros, you know?

So I went with my friends

down to the projects to sing Christmas carols.

Man, they got up on my ass.

Man, Shawn, I'm sorry.

Well, what did you sing?

I'm dreamin' of a white Christmas.

Sorry, Shawn, I mean, you know, black folks are tired of that.

Y'all have white Christmases for years, brother.

Excuse me, excuse me, hello? Yeah, yeah.

Hi, yeah.. Uh-huh.

So you don't have any tickets to Philly?

None? Yeah, yeah, thank you.

Damn it. Every flight out of town to Philly is booked.

Oh, why don't you drive, Martin?

Stan, man, please, alright?

Alright? It is 13 hours from Detroit to Philly.

No, I ain't tryin' to drive all night long.

If you want to go by bus, I got some frequent rider miles

I could sell you.

Of course, I did promise them tickets to my mama.

But if you got the cash, well, mama can travel by..

...thumb, you know?

You know what, Stan, that's cold, man.

Yeah, that is, man--

No, but that's your mama, Stan.

I got the tickets in my office.

It's cold outside. Get her some gloves, alright?

You should know the thumb.

Okay? I'mma pick 'em up in your office.

- Alright. Merry Christmas. - Hey.

- Martin, I'm sorry I'm late. - Yeah, babe. Yeah.

The traffic downtown was terrible.

And I got to get back to the office

for the stupid Christmas party.

- So, baby, we-- - Baby, baby, baby.

Would you slow down?

Where's your holiday spirit?

- Sit down here for a moment. - Baby..

Alright? Now, your man got somethin' to say.

Uh.

Oh, no, no, it ain't that. It ain't that.

No, no, no, that's down the line, girl.

That's down the line, you know?

No, Gina, I'm saying we're still working some things out.

You say you're going to work, but I--

Okay, Martin, go ahead and say what you want.

Until I can follow you, we're gonna put that on hold, alright?

Baby

I've been noticing you've been down lately.

Oh, yes, your man notices every one of your little moves.

So I've been thinking, I said to myself

"Why don't I make my woman's day?

Why don't I do somethin' to lift her holiday spirits?"

Gina, we goin' home.

Baby, we are going to Philly.

- Really, Martin? - Yes.

Yes, we are, baby. Who's the man?

Who's the man, jump up and give it to me.

- You're the man! Muah! - Thank you, baby.

- You love me, don't you? - Yes, I do.

- Go ahead. - I love you.

Oh, baby, when are we goin' on the plane.

- Ah, let's.. - When are we goin'?

Le-le-let's wrap the taste about the plane, Gina.

You know, it's very dangerous to fly at this time.

'Martin, this bus trip was just what I needed.'

Seeing the, the snow and the Christmas life.

It was just beautiful.

Beautiful, Gina, lovely.

Muah. Christmas, excuse me, okay, baby?

But we have been here.

Stuck an hour, Gina, alright?

Alright, baby, excuse me. Let me find out what's going.

- Go on. - Okay, Martin, be calm, please.

Calm down, you did this for your lady.

This is Christmas, you know?

Whoo! Uh.

Hello, how you doin', partner? M-hm.

Hello, how you doin'? Good to meet you.

Hello, ding, ding.

Hello, how you doin'? Um..

I was just wonderin' when the next bus

to Philly was gonna roll?

I'd say sometime tomorrow.

Excu.. Whoa, whoa, excu-excuse me.

I don't understand. What do you mean, sometime tomorrow?

- I don't understand. - I mean, the blizzard.

- Yeah. - We're snowed in.

Looks like we'll be spending Christmas Eve right here

Fa-la-la-la-la.

Stop breathing on the glass.

Beat it.

Attention travelers and transients.

In case you're wondering, it's still snowing.

This is the worst Christmas ever.

We're not gonna be with my family.

We're stuck in a bus station.

- This is.. - Oh, come on, babe.

It's not that bad.

Alright, come on, we're gettin' home, Gina. We will get home.

How are we gonna get home and how?

Gina, I don't know, baby.

I am lying, okay?

Just to keep you happy, alright?

You can't call me on it, alright?

Thank you, that helped.

Come on, baby. It's not that bad.

Look. Look around. Alright, Gina?

This bus station has all the Christmas spirit.

Alright? All the Christmas you need.

Look over there. You got the tree.

'Ha-ha.'

Santa! There goes Santa!

I just see Ray Charles on a bicycle.

Why Santa gotta be like that?

- Oh, boo, no, no, come on. - Why he gotta be like that?

No, that's not the real Santa.

That's the bus station Santa.

Look, girl, break out the sandwiches you packed.

Come on, now. Lets have Christmas Eve dinner.

Me and my babe, okay?

Everything's alright? We cool.

You know, I'mma tear this up. I know that.

You gonna eat all that?

Miss Geri.

What are you doin' here?

I'm on my way to Atlantic City

to find me a high roller.

- Uh-huh. - But what about that sandwich?

You want a little bit of this, huh?

You want you a little bit of this sandwich

don't you, Miss Geri, huh?

Well, you know what, Ms. Geri?

Last time I saw you, you had an attitude with me.

So right now, I ain't tryin' to hear nothin'

about sharin' no sandwich with no Miss Geri.

Not now, not ever.

New Jack, please.

I'm a old woman.

But if you don't give me some of that sandwich

I'mma bust your head over with this bag of nickel.

You want some of me, Miss Geri? You want some of me?

- Martin! Give.. - You want some of me, Ms. Geri.

Give her the sandwich.

She's got to be 70 years old.

Baby, a 100 is reachable, if she watched her attitude.

Do you hear me? Huh?

Give her the sandwich.

- It's Christmas. - Okay, fine.

- For you. For you. For you. - Please. Thank you.

Okay, I will give her the sandwich.

Miss Geri, here. Merry Christmas to Miss Geri.

The Sandwich is for you. Merry Christmas.

Tuna?

I don't eat no damn tuna.

No, no, unh-unh.

No, let it go.

Baby, let it go.

She threw my can of tuna..

Baby, baby, baby, let it go. Baby!

You don't stump on my tuna, baby.

Look, look, baby, look. Look.

It's after midnight. That means it's Christmas.

Why don't we open our gifts? They might make us feel better.

- Okay? - Look at my sandwich.

Let it go, baby. It's gone.

You're right. You're right.

Ain't nothin' I can do about that.

Okay, you know what?

Calm down.

For you, alright. Baby, you know what? You are right.

- Let's open our gifts. - Okay.

Gina, I brought you somethin', girl

that I want you to wear for me.

I know it's gonna cheer me up.

- But you can't wear it here. - I got you somethin' too.

You can't wear it in the station.

Hold up! Hold up!

Now, uh, somebody up in here stole my luggage.

If I don't get it back in the next 30 seconds

I'm burning the place down.

You know what? You know what?

You wanna come blamin' at me?

You blamin' me.

We're gonna get in the bus

and we're going to Philly..

Uh, excuse me.

Excuse me, please.

Ding, hello.

Duh.

Thank goodness.

I didn't wanna do that, partner

I was wonderin' if you had any change

so that I could get my lady some hot chocolate.

Thank you.

Read the sign.

"No change after midnight."

Yeah, I understand that.

But right now my lady would like some hot chocolate.

She's thirsty. Please, you have some right there.

I ain't got the change.

You're doin' that on purpose, man.

You gonna flip that change right in front of me?

Because you know you're behind that dang old glass.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Martin, what is the problem?

Baby, the man got change and he won't give it to me.

Martin, look, look. Let me handle this, okay?

You don't know how to be diplomatic.

I've been tryin' to be diplomatic.

Ssh-ssh, I got you. I got you.

Hello!

Ding, ding. Hi, hi.

Listen, um, I'm a little cold

and I need to get some change

for some hot chocolate, please.

I said I don't have any change.

Now, get out of here.

"Now, get out of here," that's what he said.

- That's what he said. - Okay.

Knock, knock.

Hi. Hi. Hello, how are you?

Listen, I really could not hear you.

Um, could you move a little closer, please?

The glass is a little thick.

What are you, slow?

Did you just get off the short yellow bus?

I said we don't have--

You're gonna give me the change! Give me the change!

- Bang him! Bang him! - Give me the change!

Ah, now I've got this.

Oh, I got too.

Whoo!

Baby, way to go, girl!

Busting the man up on the window.

I am proud of you, baby.

I am proud of.. You stood up.

Uh-huh, look at him now.

'You want somebody feel sorry for him'

'cause your nose bleedin'.

You should have gave her the change.

You brought it on yourself!

Baby, girl, got the change.

I'm gonna right go get your hot chocolate

'cause everything's gonna be alright.

- Yeah. - Martin. Alright?

Everything is not alright.

Look, it's ruined, Martin. We are in hell, okay?

Look around us. Look at this.

Look, look, look. This is the freak show.

Free hoes, where's the free ho?

Do you see what I'm talking?

Martin, this is what I'm talking about.

We are not having a Christmas, okay?

Baby, please sit down. Listen to this, babe.

How can you say we're not havin' a Christmas, Gina?

Alright, I don't care if we're in Philadelphia

Detroit, wherever, Gina.

As long as I'm with you.

As long as we got each other

Because you are my gift.

You, boo, alright?

So sweet.

'Cause if we get stuck here, you gonna be mad again.

No, no. Let's go get it, alright.

Hey, Miss Geri, the bus about to go. Yeah.

To hell with the bus.

I'm hitching a ride with a high roller.

Cadillac's all gassed up, and we're ready to roll.
