All language subtitles for 12 Days Of Giving [2017]

Are you kidding me?

Move back in the car. Come on.

Why are you doing this to me today?

I must have been nice to you.

Tow truck's on the way.

Sorry, cat.

I hate me too.

Goodness, you're here.

I'm so sorry. The car broke down the
middle of Second Street.

I had to wait for a tow.

Again? You poor thing.

Maybe Santa will bring you a new one for
Christmas.

Okay, kids. Let's get lined up.

Try

that one again.

How about one where you keep your tongue
in your mouth?

Last chance to make your parents proud.

On three.

One.

Next.

You're still photographing the figure
skating competition?

Yep, that's the plan.

Oh, good.

I am so proud of our girls for making it
to state.

Oh, did you receive a call from a guy
named Richard...

First Covenant Church?

No. Why?

He's the head of the Christmas play and
mentioned he needed a photographer, so I

gave him your name.

Thank you.

Ms. Wilson, I appreciate that.

I don't know how much it pays, but I
thought with the wedding coming up and

holidays, every little bit helps.

It does.

Very sweet to think of me.

Sure. Good to see you.

Sorry it took so long, man. Traffic was
ridiculous.

It's freezing out there.

Yeah, so where's the car now?

You need a jump? I got a cable. No, it's
more serious than that. I had it towed.

I know how much you love that thing, but
I think it's time to put it down.

At least I took it last time. It's good.
I'm sure they'll be able to fix it.

So, home then?

Actually, I was hoping you could do me a
favor.

I promised Audrey I'd pick up this dress
that she wants.

So if we could just, um...

Swing by the mall first.

Oh, no, no way.

No, you know how crazy that place is?

You know my rule.

No mall after Thanksgiving.

Well, you're going to have to break that
rule.

If I don't pick it up tonight, they're
going to restock it, and Audrey's been

talking about that dress for a month.

Fine.

But only because you've had a rough day.
I know.

Pecan pie would also make sure to get a
French silk for me.

Look at that.

Over a game.

Christmas sure makes people act like
kids.

You didn't do that as kids, Mom and Dad
would have killed us.

What are you getting Audrey this year?

Can you hear me?

What are you getting for Audrey? I need
ideas for Lydia.

Oh, uh, Audrey and I decided not to
exchange gifts this year. We're trying

save for the wedding.

What? Still gonna get her something,
right?

I just said that we are not doing gifts.

A woman that says not to get her a gift,
she still expects one. You must know

that by now.

It's not like that, trust me. You say
so?

It's going to be a pretty disappointing
Christmas morning with nothing open.

Hey, how about that for Lydia, huh?

Eh, it's not really her style.

We've only ever seen her with black
tresses.

Hmm.

Maybe you're right about that.

She gave her those cooking glasses she's
always talking about. What cooking

glasses?

Hey. Check it out.

You should enter.

Uh, no.

It's sweepstakes.

I just want to trick you into giving
your info and sell it to every

in the country.

So what? Someone's still got to win.

I don't need a Corvette.

No one needs a Corvette.

You, on the other hand, need a vehicle
that runs.

It's not Peturian Dad's memory to get
rid of the car.

You get that right.

It's not about Dad.

I like my car.

Wow. Okay. Yeah, I'll do it. Get you off
my back. Thank you.

Thanks, man.

You picked up the dress.

Thanks. Sure.

What's up with all those squares?

Oh, is it wedding favors? They're great.

They'll be a constant reminder on
everyone's Christmas tree how cheap and

handmade our wedding was.

I have the exhibit coming up. If I sell
a few pieces, we could throw a little

bit more towards the budget.

You always say that, but you never sell
anything.

I might be shooting the Christmas play
at the church, too.

But I love these.

I really do.

We'll figure it out, okay?

Hey, you think you can give me a ride to
the mechanic tomorrow on your way to

work? Why?

Oh, don't tell me the car broke down
again.

I hate that thing.

She has been terrific for 14 years. We
shouldn't judge her on the past six

months. She is a piece of junk.

And the money you put into her is more
than it would cost to buy a new one.

I know.

It's money we could be spending on the
wedding, by the way.

True, but I can't tell her if she isn't
running, right?

Your car, your decision.

Did you eat already?

Yeah, pizza. It's in the fridge.

I got pepperoni, though.

I'll pick it up.

Tickets for the Monday?

How's

my

favorite artist?

Lydia.

Thanks for coming by.

Well, Toby wanted to come, but he got
stuck at work.

The lady up front said this is your last
show.

I'm going to take a break for a little
while.

Hasn't been a very lucrative endeavor.

Well, lucrative or not, your photos are
beautiful.

I haven't even seen this one yet. When
did you take it?

I knocked that out at Lake Morgan.

First snowfall of the year.

Well, I love it.

You know where this would look amazing?
In the den above the fireplace. I mean,

don't you think?

How much are you asking? Lydia, you
don't have to buy something every time I

have a show. It's the kindest gesture
ever.

But it's okay.

It's yours.

For free.

And since I'm paying.

Consider it a Christmas gift.

And a thank you for your and Toby's
support. It means a lot.

You are the most talented person that I
know don't give up on your dream

Dream

was a little different

Back to Beast Photography, this is
Baxter.

Baxter, this is Don Garrett of Garrett
Luxury Imports.

Yes, what can I do for you, sir?

Well, I'll tell you what you can do for
me, son.

You can come down here and pick up the
keys to your brand new Corvette.

Sorry? You won the drawing.

It's all yours.

Wait, I... I won the car?

Yes, you did.

It's your lucky day.

Wouldn't want to go meet my replacement
either.

Look at that leather.

What do you think?

Unbelievable, huh?

The seat feels a little weird.

What? It's... It's just not that comfy,
you know?

It's a convertible. It doesn't get more
perfect.

You know, the seats are a little stiff,
and, you know, it's kind of hard to see

out of.

I know what you're doing right now, and
you need to stop.

What? If you don't like the car, you can
take the cash prize option instead.

Really? He likes the car. He likes the
car right back. I mean, what's not to

like about a Corvette? Especially when
the car you have doesn't work.

How much cash?

Well, I think it's $50 ,000, but this
car... I'll take the money. What? Wait.

What are you doing, dude?

I'd rather have the cash. This is a
Corvette.

You're never going to have a chance to
own one of these again.

I like my car, Toby.

This is a beautiful piece of machinery,
sir, but I'd rather have the money.

Okay.

So what are you going to do with $50
,000?

Better be something good.

I don't know.

Never had this much money before.

Possibilities are endless.

You know what you should do? You should
open your own photography studio.

You mean like a storefront?

Yeah, like in the mall or something. You
know, people come in and you have

different backgrounds.

You could do senior pictures or
weddings, portraits.

I don't know. I just kind of fell into
doing people.

I've always wanted to shoot nature and
landscapes.

No one wants to pay for landscapes.

But everyone wants a cute picture of
their kid.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'll ask Audrey what she thinks.

All right.

You won $50 ,000!

This is amazing!

Oh.

What do you think we should do with the
money?

Well, first...

I think you should buy an affordable,
reliable car. Something solid and well

-built, but not too expensive.

Toby thinks I should use the money to
open a photography studio.

That's a terrible idea. What if it
fails? Most businesses don't make it

years. Really? I think we should spend
it on this.

Bora Bora?

It's been rated the world's best...
Honeymoon destination.

You could take photos there. Oh, we
could up the budget for the wedding. A

bigger cake, better venue.

Let the people choose between steak or
chicken.

This would be a great place to take
pictures.

And very romantic.

I like it.

We should go to a restaurant to
celebrate.

I'll go get changed.

You know, it's really great being out on
a date with you again.

Remember our first date?

We took you out for Chinese.

We could get a case of this for the
reception.

The champagne?

It's over a hundred bucks a bottle.

We can afford it now.

Oh, you know what else I was thinking?

If we get a bigger wedding venue, we
should try to hire a real wedding

Here you go, ma 'am.

Another side of stock for your steak.

Oh, sorry.

This dress is brand new.

Let me get you some soda water.

Oh, how hard is it to put a bowl down on
the table without spilling it? It's not

her fault. That guy bumped her. How hard
is it to be a winner?

Um,

I'll get the manager.

I'm really sorry I ruined your evening.

It's not your fault, really.

Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.

Weston!

You know better than to do something
like that.

I think Santa's gonna bring me
everything I want for Christmas.

Oh, is that so?

We've talked about this. You're gonna
give Santa some other options in case he

can't find the hockey gear.

Mom, I'm sure they have tons of that
stuff at the North Pole.

It's practically the only sport they can
play up there. I know how much you love

hockey, but there are other sports out
there, too.

There's basketball, swimming. You loved
going to the pool last year.

Want some new goggles?

What about the Wizard of Westfield book?
Don't you want to be the first one in

your class to read it?

I already did.

You did?

I have VIP membership at the library.

Remember?

Right.

I know what I want.

I want to play hockey.

Can I get some more ketchup?

Were you able to get it out?

No.

Let's just leave.

I'm not in the mood to finish.

Hey, but it's our celebration.

Can we please just go?

I'll be in the car.

I was hoping to earn a little extra
tonight.

To have paid for the booth that Duke
ruined.

I don't even have enough to pay my rent.

What booth?

My neighbor left his wet boots on his
porch and chewed them up.

How much were they? Excuse me.

No.

Please don't cry.

It wasn't your fault.

Thanks. It wasn't just that. I've just
had a really bad

week.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Oh, it's not up to me.

What if you put some of your toys back
and then your partial payment will be

enough to keep the rest on layaway?

But that'll only get half of my
grandchildren gifts.

They're staying with me over the
holidays while their mom's in the

I'm sorry.

I wish I could help, but I can't.

I know it's none of my business, but
what was that all about?

If she doesn't come back with the money
tomorrow, we'll have to reshelf her

toys.

She's the third person today to come in
and try and make a partial payment, and

we just can't accept them. It's policy.

Can I ask how much she owes?

You know what?

Actually, just add it to my bill.

I'm sorry?

Actually, how many of your layaways
include toys?

I don't know exactly.

Could you look on the computer and find
out?

I suppose so.

That'd be great.

I want to pay them all off.

It came to $4 ,432 .10.

Are you sure about this? I can void it.

No child should wake up on Christmas
morning without a toy.

Well, who shall I say paid off the
balance?

You know they'll ask.

Uh...

Just tell him it was an elf.

Named Lucky.

Are you serious?

100%. But you can't tell anyone.

I swear on my life.

But you can tell him Merry Christmas.

I will.

God bless you, Lucky.

Hello?

I don't understand.

Someone came in and paid for it?

Who?

An elf.

I don't know too many of those.

So I can come in and get them right now.

Oh, dear Lord.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yes. I'll be right there.

Is this Jennifer Williams?

Yes. I'm calling from Gordman's
department store.

A guy came in today and paid off your
layaway.

What? That's right. It's paid off
completely.

You can come pick up your stuff.

Who did that?

He didn't tell me his name. He said to
say it was an elf named Lucky.

An elf named Lucky?

Spread a little holiday cheer.

Hey.

What's your name?

Marvin.

What would you like for Christmas,
Marvin? You could have anything.

What? Your Santa Claus or something?

Only if you believe in Santa Claus.

Maybe I should.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you explain to me what you'd
like over lunch?

Sound good?

So then, after my wife passed, I let the
house go.

Just didn't feel like home anymore.

Where do you go at night?

It's so cold out, you can't possibly
sleep on the streets.

Want me to tell you?

I stay in a storage unit behind the
mall.

My daughter don't know I'm living there.
She bought me a cell phone, so she

thinks I'm answering at home.

I have to sneak in and out.

They don't want people living there.

Works out all right.

I'm not too comfortable, but that's only
because I got me a bad back.

I can't thank you enough.

You're going to get me a real good
night's sleep now.

Is this your wife?

Don't do her justice.

She was much more beautiful than that.

I don't see how that's possible. She's
stunning.

Even when I didn't have much, she stuck
it out with me.

Didn't ask for a thing.

Made me want to give her the world.

Can I take this? I think I can reprint
it without the tear. No, no, I don't let

that run out of my sight.

Okay.

I understand.

Would you mind holding it up so I can
take a picture?

Well, Marvin,

you enjoy your new bed. Merry Christmas
to you.

You're a good person. Thank you.

You didn't tell me your name.

Just call me Lucky.

Thank you, Lucky.

Marvin, you're welcome.

I'm telling you, hon, if you could have
seen the look on this guy's face as he

picked out a mattress.

It's like he started telling me about
his wife.

God.

It's the best day that I've had in a
long time.

I think it's sweet that you want to help
people, but... But what?

But don't you think we should have
discussed this first?

I mean, we had plans for that money.

Well, there's still plenty of money left
for the wedding.

And the honeymoon, too.

You're missing the point.

I'm about to be your wife. These are the
kinds of things that we should be

discussing together.

It's not just Baxter making his own
decisions anymore.

It's not like I planned to do something
without telling you.

It was spur of the moment is all.

So, if it's spontaneous, it's okay?

No, that's not what I'm saying.

I don't know. It felt right.

Okay.

Okay, maybe you're right.

We're supposed to be a team.

I probably should have talked to you
about it first.

It won't happen again.

I'm sorry.

Sure. Fine.

I'm going to head to my brother to drop
off a gift for the kid.

You don't want me to go with you?

No, it's fine. I got it.

I'm here today because something
unexpected happened right here on this

spot. We got word that an anonymous
stranger who goes by the name of Lucky

Elf paid the layaway accounts for 24
people, totaling over $4 ,000.

You were working when it happened?

That's right.

Weston!

Mom, no. I want to watch this replay. I
am taking you to school in five minutes.

Go put your shoes on.

Really convincing.

You should be an actor.

I am an actor.

I have 12 lines in the play, remember?

You remind me three times a day. How can
I forget?

So what are you going to do with the
money that you saved?

I'm giving it to someone else to help
them buy their own gifts.

Anybody want it?

Well, there you have it.

No one's sure who this Lucky is, but he
certainly embodies the Christmas spirit.

Live from Gordman. My bad.

What do you think of my sneaky little...

A big smile.

Okay, one more.

One more for fun.

That was perfect.

Great. Got it.

Okay, Fremont Raptors.

Warm up.

Warm up.

Boom.

All right.

Wait a minute.

That's how you hit the ice.

That's it?

You like hockey?

Play?

Nope.

I used to.

A little.

Back in the day.

Played center.

I want to play.

My mom says I can't.

Too dangerous?

She says it costs too much with the
skates.

and sticks and everything.

That's why I told Santa it's the only
thing I want this year.

Have you ever had the gates before?

I gotta go.

My mom gets me when I talk to the
stranger.

Okay.

This is amazing!

No, no, no.

They're gonna give me away, man.

You don't have a gas station all the way
down here anyway.

I was just dropping something off.

What? A gift. It's not important.

Can I ask you something?

Are there things that you don't discuss
with Lydia, or do you talk about

everything?

Just, Bella, what did you and Audrey
fight about?

It wasn't a fight, really. It was just,
I spent some money, and I didn't ask her

about it. It was just spontaneous.

Is that something that would bother
Lydia?

That's what I bought, I suppose.

She usually just lets me do my own
thing, and she does hers.

Do you want to talk about it first?

Important stuff we do. For the most
part, we just trust each other's

I gotta know, what did you buy?

Have you been watching the news?

Yeah.

Do you know about Lucky the Elf?

Oh, wait.

Oh, no.

That was...

You're... Oh, that is awesome.

How did you come up with Lucky, though?

Ah, it wasn't my most creative moment.

Oh, who cares?

You're the talk of the town.

You can't tell anyone, though. It's
between us.

Why not? You should be proud.

Because, I don't know, part of the fun
is that no one knows.

Here's what you could say to me, bro.

Lucky the elf.

Incredible.

You go on ahead.

I don't need a ride.

Hey. Hey.

Hey.

Hi, we're on a lake near Magnolia
Street. A little boy fell on the ice and

his head. We need an ambulance now.

How could you do this? I told you never
leave the house.

I know. I'm sorry.

I just couldn't wait to try out my new
hockey stuff.

I'm sorry, Mom.

That man in the scar?

Is that who called the paramedics?

Excuse me, um, are you... Wait, so you
saved him?

Yeah, I was on a walk when I saw him
fall, so... I didn't know what to say.

Thank you so much.

I... He wasn't supposed to be out here
alone.

It wasn't for that stupid hockey gear.

The ambulance guy says it's time to go.

I should probably have him checked out.

Of course.

Okay, kiddo.

You really upset me today.

Wes, you could have gotten killed.

But I didn't die because that camera guy
saved me.

You can't just run off and do anything
you want on your own. We work all the

time. We never have time to do the stuff
I want to do.

Well, that's not going to change, so
you're just going to have to deal with

Promise me that you will not do that
again.

Why'd you call that guy that saved you
the camera guy?

He takes pictures of the girl skaters at
the hockey rink.

Oh. So you've seen him before?

Only one time.

Mom, when are we going to get a
Christmas tree?

You know what? We can't afford it this
year.

Next year, though. Why can't we go chop
one down? They're everywhere.

We can't just chop a tree off of someone
else's property. You know that.

Don't worry.

I'll go email Santa and tell him to
leave your gifts on the sofa.

That's even if you're on the good list
after today.

I am, I am. Just take care of that
email.

Good night,

buddy.

you are. Thank you, ladies. Enjoy the
movie.

Try your eyes for me. How can I help
you?

I have a strange question.

I guess there's a photographer that
comes and takes pictures of the figure

skaters. Do you know who that is by
chance?

Oh.

Yep.

Okay.

Baxter B's Photography.

That's exactly what I needed to know.
Thank you so much.

It is my fault, though. If I hadn't
given that hockey gear, he would have

been out on that lake.

The only person I know would second
-guess himself after doing something

Just be glad you were there to say it.
Yeah, I am, but still.

What, do you have black boots already?

Yeah, man, that's all she ever wears.

Baxter Bees Photography.

Oh, hi. Is this Baxter Billings?

Sure is.

Oh, good.

This is Pam Collins.

I don't know if I have the right person
or not. Did you happen to save a little

boy that hit his head on the ice?

Oh.

Yeah, that was me. How is he? Oh, he's
fine. It was just a bump, nothing major.

Good. Listen, the reason I'm calling is
because I didn't get a chance to thank

you.

I was wondering if you wanted to come
over for dinner or something.

Um, sure, that's not necessary.

Well, I would like the chance to thank
you, and I know Wes would, too.

How's tomorrow night?

Yeah, tomorrow's great.

Okay, I will text you the address.

Is there anything you don't need or you
just don't like?

Come on. I think it's a fight.

What's going on?

Pam, there's a bit of an emergency here.
Anything you want to make is fine. I'll

see you tomorrow.

Okay.

That guy's a liar!

He's not lucky!

I've seen lucky!

I'm not going to let you take credit for
what he does!

Come take your picture with me.

Lucky the Elf!

Two dollars a photo. You can take it on
your own phone.

I'm the spirit of Christmas, boys and
girls. You're a fraud. That's what you

are. Oh, come on.

You see what I mean?

I've created more problems than I've
solved with this stupid elf thing. How

you say that?

Especially after the article that came
out today.

What article?

Was it a cave or something?

Yeah, that's microscopic.

Why don't you tell me what it says?

84 department stores in 5 states. People
have anonymously gone in and paid off

other people's layaways.

In this city alone, charitable donations
are up 26 % from last year.

And yesterday, a guy went into a
hospital and paid off medical bills for

kids. Really?

That's all you, dude.

You started it.

Haven't you seen it for yourself?

Seen what?

We're finally starting to be nice to
each other again.

Weird, huh?

Very. We're only 12 days from Christmas,
and even I'm at the mall.

Why?

Because people are finally acting
civilized again.

I wish Mom and Dad could be here to see
this.

I'd be really proud of you.

What are those?

I don't know.

They're from Santa.

They're for me.

Can I open them?

No, not till Christmas.

Hey, get your own.

I've got one for you, too.

You think we should exchange now?

I thought you said we weren't doing
gifts.

That was before you won $50 ,000, and I
knew I could get you something really

nice. Go on, open it.

A 55 -200mm lens with image
stabilization?

This is great.

The guy at the camera shop said it was
the lightest one they had, and it's

really quiet, so you don't scare away
the animals and stuff.

This is an amazing gift.

Thank you.

Honestly, I was starting to feel like
maybe you didn't support my photography,

but... You do.

I'm floored. Of course I support you,
silly.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Is this the dress that that stupid girl
ruined?

Yeah. Got it at Gordman's. Last one they
had.

That's so sweet, babe.

I love it.

Ooh, did I tell you I found a few really
great dresses online?

No, you didn't mention it. Oh, they're
gorgeous. They're all designer, and

they're supposed to come by the 28th, so
that I can wear one of them on New

Year's Eve. Did I tell you I made us
reservations for that night?

No. No, you didn't mention that either.

I did.

At Bistro Robert.

Kind of cheesy, I know, but believe me,
I will fit right in in one of these

dresses.

Did you take this, sweetie?

The snowbird. Like the one we saw on the
walk.

The walk?

When I proposed last... February.

You don't remember? We sat down on the
log, and then that little snowbird came

down and walked over to us, and I said,
it was so cute, you must have thought it

was a lovebird, and then you laughed.

And then that's when I... Really? I
don't remember that.

I mean, of course I remember you
proposing. It was very romantic.

I don't remember that bird.

Hmm.

But I do love this picture.

Your photography is beautiful.

So, what's next?

Next?

Is there more?

That's it. You said that we weren't even
going to do gifts.

Well,

that's okay.

I like what you got me.

Let's watch a movie.

It's got a stain on it from when I sold
my grape juice. It sure does.

No

one

will ever see it.

He's here!

Hi!

Heather Bugger?

Please, come on in.

Just a little... Hostess gift. I hope
you're not allergic to mulling spices.

Not at all.

Wow, thank you so much.

This is wonderful. It's like Christmas
in a box.

Well, come on in.

So, the movie theater is full -time?

Yeah. Yeah.

And in the evenings, I have my own
little business that I do from home.

I try and make and sell joy.

I'd love to see something you made.

Oh, um, show them, Mom.

Uh, well, here's a piece.

Oh, wow, that's stunning.

Thanks. These must sound like hotcakes.

I have some regular clients.

But it gets hard without a storefront,
because people want to try on jewelry

before they buy it. What about one of
those little carts in the mall, you

kiosks?

Um, yeah, yeah.

You just have to have a lot of stuff
ready to sell.

Buying that much material up front will
get kind of expensive.

Listen, why don't you go get your hockey
book and show him?

So Weston collects pictures of hockey
players and he puts them in his book.

Wow.

Very cool.

Like an encyclopedia of hockey stuff.

I would say that you are a certified
hockey expert.

Look, this is a ticket from a hockey
game. It's torn because it's you.

Oh, did you go to the game?

No, I found it on a sidewalk.

That was a lucky find.

You know.

I did bring my camera tonight.

Would you like me to take a picture of
you in your hockey gear so you can add

to the book?

Let me go change.

I look good, huh?

Very good.

I'd say professional.

Who wants dessert?

I'm going to help your mom.

Yeah, when I try to do anything like
this, it looks ridiculous.

Don't fashion me.

Well, mine doesn't look much better than
I added this, like, chocolate powder

thing on it, but hopefully it's good.

Are you kidding me? This is better than
anything I've ever even bought at a

store. Look at this.

Looks like it's from a picture.

Well, you're definitely good at
following directions on a box.

We'll have as much as you want. Mm -hmm.

I want to show back to my room.

Let's help your mom clean up first, then
maybe tell me.

No, it's fine. You two go ahead.

You think you can outsmart everyone, but
not me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do, Baxter. Or should I say,
Lucky, the elf. I saw the pictures in

camera of all the people getting the
good gift.

You're the one doing it.

First of all, didn't anyone ever tell
you not to go through somebody else's

stuff?

And second of all, you're wrong.

Nice try, mister, but I'm on to you. And
if you want me to keep your secret,

you're gonna have to do something for
me.

You're blackmailing me.

I think so.

What do you want?

You used to play hockey, right?

Yeah. You go teach me how to play and
how to skate better. And if you don't,

whole world will know who you really
are.

You drive a hard bargain, kid.

Tell you what, you got a deal if you
promise to keep quiet.

Deal.

Thanks again for dinner.

No, thank you for everything. I hope our
paths crop again at some point.

Like tomorrow.

What? Max would have made me at the
skating rink to pitch me hockey.

The afternoon off.

So I offered to show him a few pointers.

I hope that's okay.

Oh, um... Yeah, sure.

I guess I will see you tomorrow then.

Good night.

Night.

Little devil.

You got this.

Yeah, stay low so you have better
control.

Get back straight.

Oh, who was that girl helping you when I
came in?

She's pretty cute.

Her name's Kara. She's cool.

What time did your mom pick you up?

Oh, she won't be here until after we get
back from the mall. The mall?

You're taking me to the mall.

I need to talk to Santa.

The mall's going to be a nightmare right
now.

You don't want me to tell Santa your
secret, do you?

Oh, okay.

Mall it is.

It says she's got a pet octopus.

Let me take care of a pet octopus.

Wait, I...

I thought your mom already took you to
see Santa.

She did, but since you gave me the
hockey gear, I need to tell him to bring

wire instead.

Wait, wire?

Yeah, so my mom can make more jewelry.

Then she can earn more money, and she
won't have to work that much.

That's what you want to talk to him
about?

That, and I have to explain we don't
have a Christmas tree.

So I need to give him instructions where
to leave the gift so he doesn't skip

over us.

Mom said she would email him, but
sometimes she would get stuff.

I have a better idea.

Why don't we find the exact kind of wire
your mom used with the craft door, and

then we put it in an envelope to Santa,
that way he doesn't get confused.

Not a bad idea.

I could also tell him where to leave the
gifts.

You won't have to.

Because we're going to go get you guys a
treat right now.

Now we're talking.

Yeah.

You really did not have to do this, but
I am so glad you did.

My pleasure.

I think we just need some decorations.

Those we have.

So this was my grandmother's.

I used to love to listen to her tell the
Christmas story.

She wanted me to have this when she
passed away.

I don't know what happened to the third
wise man.

In this scene, baby Jesus only gets
golden mar.

Oh, and this?

I bought when Weston was born.

My grandmother always said it was good
luck to have a bird on your tree.

Ugh.

I'm not sure what it means when the bird
is broken.

Just means it's time to get a new one.

Maybe Lucky the Elf will bring you one.

You know, that's how Weston got his
hockey gear.

No, I didn't. Oh, yeah, he left it on
the front porch with this tag.

It was pretty incredible.

I would love to meet him.

What would you say if you did?

Thank him, of course.

But I don't know why he's doing it.

Probably just likes to see people happy.

Or he's trying to atone for something
terrible.

I don't know.

Probably just a nice guy who feels good
when he helps people.

I hope so.

He's doing this town a lot of good.

Mom, can we make some paper chains to
put on the tree?

Paper chains?

Why not?

Good night, sweetheart.

I love you.

I love you too, Mom.

Can you tell Baxter to come in here?

Sure.

He wants you to tuck him in.

So tomorrow I want you to help me find a
gift for Kira.

Okay?

Sure. I can do that.

Good night, Baxter.

Sleep tight, Flutter.

He's a great kid.

Thanks. He really likes you.

I think you're his hero.

Can I ask what happened to his dad?

He died.

Five years ago.

Car crash.

I don't think Weston even remembers his
father.

I'm sorry.

These are really great, though.

Thanks. I made one like this.

last summer for a woman who was getting
married.

She wanted to wear this in her wedding.

Can you imagine?

Yeah, I can.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

Oh, no, no, no. Take it. Take it.

Baxter B's photography.

Sorry about that.

Looks like I'll be photographing the
Christmas play next week at First

Oh, that's terrific.

Weston's playing an angel in that play.

I know, I know. A little against the
type.

Yeah.

Do you want any help? I got this.

So I guess I'll see you tomorrow.

Tonight was fun.

Thanks for bringing the tree.

You're welcome.

So, what do you think? She can hang it
on her tree.

Do you think she'll like it?

You don't?

I don't know. I'm not that good with
girls.

Yeah.

Sometimes I feel the same way.

I don't know. I think the secret to
giving a really great gift is just to

them something that represents them.

That's the way to win a girl's heart.

At least that's what I always believed.

What do I know?

So, are you going to make one of these
for my mom?

Your mom?

How are you going to get her to go on a
date with you?

You need something that will steal her
heart.

Wes, I can't go out with your mom. I'm
already

engaged to get married to someone else.

Why don't you just break up with her and
then date my mom?

It's a little more complicated than
that, kiddo. Is this other girl prettier

than my mom? No, no, not at all. Your
mom's actually really... They are both

very, very pretty.

I'll put it this way. If you don't go on
a date with my mom, I might have to

spill your secret.

Don't you think you're taking this
blackmailing thing a bit far?

No. Just forget everything else I want
and do this one thing.

You can even take back my hockey stuff.

You want me to go out with your mom, not
bad.

Why?

Because when you were helping mom with
the tree, that was the happiest I've

seen her.

By the way, you were happy too.

Come on.

Let's practice.

I can text this other girl for you and
tell her to get lost.

Come on.

Out on the ice.

Now.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

I want to drop this off for you. It's
just a little something for you to put

your tree. Great.

Come on in.

Aww.

You wrapped it really well.

Try it.

I love it.

I took that picture a couple weeks back.

I know I can't replace the broken one,
but I... Are you sad?

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's beautiful.

I... I can't believe you came all this
way just to give this to me.

Hey, let's see what it looks like.

Huh?

I think it deserves to be on top.

Oh, um. Wow, okay.

It's perfect.

Well, you'll have good luck.

It's already good.

Actually, um... I'm... I'm engaged.

Oh, my. I, um... I'm sorry, I didn't...
I didn't know. No, no, no,

no, no. I... I... Oh.

I'm gonna go.

Western's probably waiting for me at the
ring.

You should go give it to her.

It'll mean more coming from you.

You just gotta man up.

What if she gives it back and says she
doesn't like me?

Well, that's a risk.

But no risk, no reward, right?

I want her to like me real bad.

Don't do it because you want her to like
you.

Do it because it'll make her happy.

But I don't think she'll give it back.

Now's your chance. Go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Where do I start, Flucky?

You spent $22 ,000 on total strangers.

You went through my desk. Oh, really?
You're going to make this about me going

through your stuff?

How about we focus on the fact that you
lied to me?

I didn't lie.

You certainly didn't tell me the truth.

I thought we were spending that money on
the wedding.

There's still enough. Enough?

That's not even what I'm upset about
right now. You would rather spend

of dollars on people you don't even know
than your own fiancé.

That was supposed to be our money to
start our life together.

We're starting our life together anyway.

But there are some people who need it
more than we do. Okay, that's great. And

it's great that you want to do nice
things for people.

But this was our chance to put some
money away.

A down payment on a house. A cushion in
case something happens. Invest.

Invest for retirement.

I hear what you're saying.

It's hard to think about money that we
might need 25 years down the line when

there are people who need it now.

I don't care. I don't care about them. I
care about us. I do care, though.

Okay? Seeing those people happy makes me
happy.

Do I look happy to you, Baxter?

Do I?

I didn't do it to hurt you.

Yeah, but you didn't think about me
either.

You didn't tell me because you knew how
I felt about it.

If their happiness is more important to
you than mine, then I don't see how this

is going to work.

Please don't take that off.

I'm sorry, Baxter. I'm done. No, Audrey.

Thank you.

What are those?

Lucky elves.

And they're the most popular drink here.

The bartender sees people buying for
total strangers.

Hmm. That's disgusting. Keep drinking,
they grow on you.

You know, sometimes it takes an event
like winning money to see people for who

they really are.

She's not a bad person, Toby.

She has every right to be angry. I
didn't spend half the cash without

her. Personally, I don't think you and
Audrey work.

Never have.

Lydia agrees.

You're just telling me this now?

Bottom line, compatibility is about
being with someone who finds happiness

the same things you do.

Charity makes you happy.

Audrey doesn't share in it.

For one to be happy, the other can't.

That means you're not compatible.

Yeah, we have been together for a long
time.

So what?

Sometimes things break and you can't fix
them.

Like the car.

You hold on to it because you feel
guilty letting it go, even though you

it's time to get rid of it.

The car is my connection to Dad.

You know what my connection to Dad is?

Right in here.

He's with me every single day.

I don't need a broken down car to remind
me of what a good father he was. Why?

Audrey's not the one.

You wouldn't cut the cord, so fate did
it for you.

Now you're free to do whatever makes you
happy.

It's the best thing that could happen to
you.

Hi. Go ahead and wrap that up, please.

Hey!

It's you!

Lucky! Lucky the Elf! Hey, everybody!
This guy is the real Lucky the Elf!

he's out. He's out. Wait, what is this?

Oh, is that straight booze? He's drunk.
Oh, just coffee! Okay, what's the stuff?

Are you kidding me?

That was a secret, remember? Do you know
how many con -archs there are trying to

say that they're you?

Don't worry about it. Well, it's not
fair.

You're the one doing the good deed, and
they're just trying to... There are

plenty of people doing good deeds.
People will see the imposters for who

are eventually.

Hey, is that Sue? Are you lucky to be
out?

He bought me a bed!

And love! No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's not me. It's not... It's not me.

I... It's not me, I promise. You don't
need to take the picture.

A homeless man today...

identified a local man as the mysterious
Lucky the Elf.

The man, Baxter Billings, is a
photographer who's been using the money

from Don Garrett's luxury imports to
make holiday wishes come true.

He received a very warm welcome from
shoppers who referred to him as the man

revived the Christmas spirit. From the
mall here in Fremont, I'm Amanda Shen.

Guys, guys, I'm not lucky. All right.

Everybody out on the ice. Leave this
poor man alone.

Thanks. Hey, no problem.

Nice job.

Thanks, but I'm not lucky.

Right.

Hey, Westman.

Can I talk to you?

Look, I may not have a lot of money, but
I'm doing the best I can with Weston.

When he needs clothes for school, he
gets them. When he needed braces for his

teeth, I might have had to put them on
payment, but he got them. What are we

talking about here?

Be honest with me.

Weston and I are just one of your
charity cases, aren't we?

No.

Not at all. It's nothing like that.

It all makes so much sense now.

I was such an idiot.

You have it all wrong.

I like you and Weston.

I like you a lot.

And I enjoy spending time with you more
than you know. When you're not spending

time with your fiancé?

Not anymore.

When I bought Weston that hockey stuff,
it was just because I wanted the kid to

be happy.

But then I spent time with him.

And you.

And I don't want to talk about this
here. Can I...

Can I buy you dinner tonight?

We can just sit down, find someplace
quiet, and I will explain everything to

you. Baxter, I think you've bought us
enough stuff.

Have a nice Christmas.

No.

You really messed things up for me, man.

Well, I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention.

I know.

It's just... I just wanted to make
people happy.

And all I did was upset everyone.

She thinks I wasn't being genuine.

Were you?

Of course.

Pam's amazing.

How could anyone not fall in love with
her?

She's kind, funny, and sweet.

She's a great mom.

Oh, you wouldn't believe how talented
and creative she is.

It's not just that, you know?

She knows how to make everything fun.

Whenever it's time to go, I just want to
stay.

I'm not with her. I'm just thinking
about her constantly.

This sucks.

Maybe tell her all that?

I would, but she won't listen to me.

Man up.

Huh? That's pathetic.

If this is the woman of your dreams, you
need to try a little harder.

Boo -hoo -hoo.

She won't listen to me.

Nobody likes me.

I just upset people.

You are lucky, the elf man.

You single -handedly revived the
Christmas spirit.

Surely you can figure out how to get
this lady to listen to you.

You know what?

You're right.

And I know exactly what to do.

Did you leave your toothbrush or
something?

No, silly.

I wanted to see you.

Thought maybe we could talk.

I was really angry the other day, and I
said some things that I didn't mean.

Like, you don't want to marry me?

That was stupid.

I've been thinking about all those
people you help, and everyone seems so

grateful.

I really shouldn't have been that upset
about it.

Look, I really don't have time to talk
right now. I'm on my way to a gig, but I

thought about what you said, and I think
you actually made the right decision.

By leaving you?

Yeah.

Wait, so you don't want to get married?

I thought you loved me.

I thought I did too.

But then I realized that when you love
something, you want to fight for it.

And I don't.

I don't feel that way.

But it's the truth.

And I think it's time for me to be
honest with everyone.

Including myself.

No, excuse me, I really do have to go.

Weston. What are you doing here?

I'm photographing the Christmas play.
What are you so upset about?

You made me keep your secret, and then
you went and told the whole world.

Not me.

Marvin. Believe me, I wanted to keep
that secret as much as anyone, but it

happened, and there's nothing I can do
about it. All I can do is be honest with

your mom about how I really feel about
her.

What does that mean?

You want to go out on a date with my
mom?

She'll let me.

Really?

Yeah. And I even got her a gift. I just
need to know where she is. Is she here?

Yeah, she's helping with the costumes in
the back.

But she'll still sit right over there.

Perfect.

Wish me luck.

Don't screw this up.

You're not good when it comes to girls.

Thanks, buddy.

All right, all cast members, report to
backstage at this time, please.

Baxter, what are you doing here?

I'm shooting the Christmas play, but I
wanted to talk to you. I thought I was

very clear.

Wes and I don't need anything else from
you, but thank you. I know you don't,

but I just wanted... Seriously, I don't
want to do this here.

The show's about to start.

Welcome to our play, The Miracle of
Christmas.

Christmas is a wonderful time.

Most of us celebrate by putting up
Christmas trees, hanging stockings, and

giving each other gifts.

But Christmas was very different 2 ,000
years ago.

Here's the story of how it all began
with a baby, a manger, and three wise

It started in Bethlehem with a man named
Joseph and a woman named Mary.

The angel, Gabriel, came to Mary with a
very important message.

I'm not Gabriel, but I have an important
message too.

I want to talk about giving people
gifts.

You don't give people gifts because you
expect something back.

You give them gifts because the gift
keeps going and going and someday it

back to you bigger than it was before.

Just like Lucky the Elf.

He gave some people gifts and it made
everybody want to give more gifts.

His presents were real.

Because he didn't want anything back.

When you give somebody a gift, what you
give back is a feeling in your heart.

And then you're happy too.

Back there. Just give it to her now.

I don't know how I plan to do this, but

I have something to say.

It's true.

Yes. I'm lucky.

I admit it.

I kept it a secret because I didn't want
to be the focus of attention.

I wanted it to be on the people who were
happy.

But in being secretive, I hurt the one
person that I didn't want to hurt.

Look, I may not be able to give my son
everything that other kids have, but I

love him.

I love him more than anything.

And I try to always put him first.

I love you too, Mom.

Please don't cry.

Baxter, you're totally screwing this up.

Yeah.

Yes.

Pam, I met you because I gave Weston the
hockey stuff. But spending time with

you and him, it showed me that wherever
I was before, it wasn't the right

place.

I went searching for happiness.

Okay? And I found it as lucky.

But when I was with you, putting up the
tree, having dinner,

teaching him to skate, I found it as
Baxter.

But you lied to me.

To you?

To them?

Myself?

Look, I was wandering around lost,
trying to figure out where

I was supposed to be.

Well, you know what?

I figured it out.

I'm supposed to be with you.

If you want to be mad at me and never
talk to me again, I understand.

But first, I'm going to give you this
gift.

No secrets about it.

Mom, take the gift.

It took him a little while, but he
finally caught up.

I'm not engaged anymore.

You're not?

Because of me?

Yeah, that guy.

But mostly, because I love you.

Go back soon and tell them that Santa
came.

Who wants cinnamon rolls?

They're here!

Yeah, of course. Who else would I be?

This is the best Christmas ever!

Oh, it was really sweet of you to do
that. And he needed a new backpack, too.

know. Same color I was about to get for
myself, but...

What's that?

It's from Baxter.

Oh. Huh.

Oh, wow.

Calendar. Cool.

And that's my birthday, so you don't
forget.

What? How else is he supposed to know?

And that's the day you go to the art
show.

That is a terrific sentiment, kiddo. But
two months isn't really enough time to

prepare for an art show. I don't have
any photos that people want to buy.

I think you do.
