Joey, come help, please.

We thank everything on Mother Earth that
was put here by the Creator.

Amen. Here we go.

Oh, that's right.

Zoe,

come on. We're going to be late.

Hi, Sarah. I'll bring in those baby
things next week. Thanks, Kathleen.

Good morning.

Hey. So how'd the house hunting go?

Check it out.

Zoe doesn't know yet. Don't want to get
her hopes up.

Over this?

Who's your realtor, Cat Herman Munster?

Well, at least it's a better
neighborhood and it'll be a better

school for Zoe.

You know, you might improve the picture.
You put a man in there. Yeah, that's all

I need right now.

What'd the credit union say about a down
payment?

About $10,000.

What?

I guess I'll just have to moonlight for
a while.

Well, if it isn't our fearless leader
himself.

So if this deal goes through, how many
employees are we going to need to keep

on? 40, 50? No, no, more like 20, maybe
15. I mean, everything but the final

assembly to get done in Mexico.

That's a lot of layoffs.

Don't see people.

See dollar signs. That's what your old
man would do.

At least he'll get severance pay and
unemployment.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Miss Russell, you have a telephone call.

Hello?

Yeah.

Mm-hmm, this is Zoe's mother.

She did what?

Why do I even bother to play this game?

Hello?

Yeah, a second.

Field.

Great, put him on.

Senor Del Campo, great to hear from you,
sir.

I've been hearing nothing but wonderful
things about your meeting with Mr.

Herbert.

I'm looking forward to meeting you
myself.

You're coming here?

No, no, that's terrific.

As a matter of fact, I insist you be my
guest.

My family, what family?

Javier, it's Steve here.

Well, how are you? I can't wait to see
you again.

Well, great. I will have a limo waiting
for you at the airport.

Sir, in your field, family is looking
forward to meeting you too, sir.

Okay, great.

Well, adios.

Or, uh, hasta Las Vegas.

Okay. Bye-bye.

What family is he talking about?

When I got back from Mexico, I told you
I had to polish your image a little bit.

What, by giving me a family?

Sam, wake up.

Smell the cafe con leche.

This Javier Del Campo guy is real old
country. He only wants to do business

with solid family men with old-fashioned
values, comprende? Yeah, fine.

Hey, you should be thanking me, buddy. I
just saved a $50 million deal. Right, so

what happens when Del Campo wants to
meet the field familia?

Well, no problem. He's only coming for a
couple of days, and Uncle Dave's got

that all taken care of. Oh, man.

They had to call me away from work for
this. Do you know what that costs?

And how could you put that in Mrs.
Travis' desk when you know she's afraid

of animals?

Well,

Mrs. Travis was.

And who told the principal that her
father was gone on some secret

government mission?

Zoe. Zoe, you've got to stop making up
these stories, honey.

It was better when Daddy was here.

Well, he's not here.

And we have to accept that he may not
come back.

Zoe.

Zoe, don't do this.

Zoe.

Zoe.

Someone in this family doesn't want her
Christmas present.

We've got to get down this instant.

Thanks, Bridget.

I'll be back at 5 o'clock.

If angels are really invisible, how do
you know if one's there?

When you hear music and there isn't any.

An angel's there.

But if they're invisible, how can I see
them?

You have to look really hard, because on
Earth they wear their wings inside.

so they can look just like you and me.

I bet an angel could bring my daddy
home.

Hmm. The angel thought it was a good
thing for both you and your daddy.

Maybe.

But remember, you have to be a good
little girl

to be lucky enough to have an angel hear
you, and that means not giving your

mommy trouble with... school and not
climbing that tree.

I promise I'll never climb the tree
again.

If there's an angel listening, please
bring my daddy

home and get us a house like my
dollhouse for us to live in together.

Except for today, I've been a very good
girl.

How was he? Good, good.

Hey, Zoe, you ready?

Coming!

Zoe!

I have a treat for you.

What, what?

Pizza! Yummy!

Thanks, Bridget. We'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.

Chloe, remember, listen for the music.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Hi,

honey, I'm home.

Hi, honey.

What's for dinner?

How should I know? Ask the servants.

Dad, can I have a car for Christmas,
please?

Stop! Stop, you're hurting me.

You're losing the reality, kids.

You're a loving family. Where are the
hugs? Where are the kisses? You're his

wife. You know what you're having for
dinner. And you, you sound spoiled

rotten. I'm playing a rich dude's kid.

What'd you expect?

I expect father knows best, not family
feud. Let's go from the top.

You think I wanted to mean myself like
this just for a deal? Wait a minute.

Not a deal, semi-boy. The deal. The deal
you've busted your hump for ever since

your father said you'd be lucky to make
janitor. Huh?

Honey, what's for dinner?

Okay, just so you know, my agent said
nothing about making dinner. I have a

staff, remember?

Labels ring.

Yes, I am. In the lane.

Oh, it is.

This is supposed to be my family. Get
them out of here.

Del Campo's coming tomorrow. Now.

You guys were terrific, okay? Just
terrific. Especially you. I really liked

your interpretation.

He's looking for something a little bit
more... Brady Bunch and so on. A

beautiful sight.

We're happy tonight.

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Oh, Zoe.

Aren't the lights just beautiful, huh?

Mommy, stop!

What is it? What is it?

It's my dollhouse.

Zoe, no.

And I will find another family. What do
you think, David? Just gonna walk in off

the street?

Come on.

Zoe.

I'm so sorry.

She didn't realize?

The door was open.

I know that's an excuse, but... Wow.

What an amazing... You know, of all the
houses in the city, that here we are in

yours.

So wait, we shouldn't be here. Come on.

Mommy, this isn't my dollhouse. No,
sweetheart, this house belongs to

someone else. Come on.

No, no, this is where we're supposed to
be.

You look familiar.

Yes, Mr. Field.

I work for you.

Really? I'm sorry. This won't happen
again. Goodbye.

No, wait.

Look at them.

Now that is a wife.

And that's a kid you wouldn't want to
drown.

At least they look real, you know,
ordinary.

We're going now. No, wait, wait, wait,
wait.

We need to rent a family to help us to
do business with somebody.

Now, it's a couple of days, a thousand
dollars, everything absolutely open and

above board on us. What do you say?

He's kidding, right?

I'm afraid not.

Oh, I get it.

Your mother's coming to town, hmm?

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. A very
important business associate that's

flying in from Mexico.

And what if you like us, Mr. Field? Is
there an option to buy?

This is serious business, Miss...
Russell, Kathleen, Russell. You'd be

helping Field Industries, Kathleen, and
loyalty to the company has its own

rewards. Gentlemen, my daughter and I
are not for lease. Excuse me.

Okay, $2,000, but that is my final
offer.

$1,000 a day?

You don't even go to work, Kathleen.

And all we have to do is pretend to be
your family?

That's all.

Do you really think you can pull this
off? Oh, absolutely.

Three thousand.

Out of the question.

I wish you luck.

Okay.

Deal. Oh, not so fast.

I need to discuss this with my daughter.

So we... Listen to me. Mommy, take it!

I guess we have a deal.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Hey, Zoe, you know how you like to make
up stories?

To pretend?

You don't like when I pretend.

Yes, but this is different. You see, Mr.
Field is Melanie's boss, and we're doing

him a big favor.

Oh, good. You're here.

Yes. Hawthorne, park the car just right,
would you?

Yes.

So, is everybody clear on the program?

Don't worry, Mr. Field. We won't
disappoint you.

May I make a suggestion?

What? Well, your house is lovely, but

it doesn't exactly look like a family
lives here. In fact, it

barely looks like you live here.

Oh, it is a little cool, isn't it?

Exactly. But perhaps if you threw some
toys around it and had a cheery fire

blazing in the fireplace.

Great idea. That's a great idea.

Some family photos?

I brought these.

Well, let's not get carried away. No,
no, no, no. She has a point, Sammy. That

sets the theme.

Yes. I mean, take this tree.

It is stunning, but did a designer do
it?

Yes.

Yes, I thought so.

Wait a minute. You are not going to mess
around with my tree.

It's just if I were really Mrs. Field, I
would put up some old-fashioned

ornaments. Make it look like a family
decorated it together.

Isn't that the point?

Brilliant. Sam, she's brilliant. Just do
whatever she says. Kit, come here.

Do you think you can remember to call
Mr. Field here Daddy?

I think I can handle it, Daddy.

Thank you, Sally.

Zoe. Zoe.

What do you think?

Well, they certainly are a challenge.

Hey.

Yes, dear.

Does your face hurt?

Excuse me?

It looks so tight.

Why don't we all go upstairs?

This is better work.

Look at this hair. It's horrendous.

Can you do something? Can you give it
some light and color?

How long have you been married?

Eight years. Where'd you go on your
honeymoon?

France and Italy.

Who drives you to school every day? My
daddy.

What was your favorite family vacation?

Disney World.

Can we really go there?

Of course not.

When do I get home every night?

You don't usually come home.

Annie. Annie.

Six o'clock. You never miss dinner with
your family. Good. What's my wife's

favorite food?

Come on. Come on. It's... Find out what
it is.

Any questions?

We are not paid to have questions.

Sir.

Oh, he's here. He's here!

Okay, people, let's make this work.

To your station.

Del Campo's here!

Del Campo's here.

I know. Where's Mrs... What's her name?
And the kid?

Zoe. Kathleen, remember?

Zoe.

Don't let him in yet! Wait! Why?

Oh, the ring. What?

Oh, your ring.

I...

Here.

Oh, no.

It's a wrong finger. Here.

All right.

All right.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Thank you, sir.

And who may you be?

Hawthorne, sir.

Hawthorne.

A relation to the famous author.

I fear not, sir.

Senor Del Campo, welcome to the casa of
Senor Field.

Well, thank you, Senor Herbert. It's a
pleasure to see you again.

Senor Del Campo, finally we meet.

It is an honor, Senor Field.

Senor Del Campo, I'm Kathleen Field.
It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

No, the pleasure is all mine, Senora
Field.

And this is my, our daughter, Zoe.

Mucho gusto. A cano solo, senor.

Habla espanol? You speak Spanish?

Uh-uh. My mom taught me that.

Most charming. But I thought you had a
son.

Well,

Zoe is such a little tomboy. Right.

Let's have a drink in the living room,
please.

Arthur. Senora.

Oh, thank you.

I forgot.

You have a lovely home, warm and
inviting.

Thank you.

Mommy, did you hear that?

It would not have been better.

Life was wonderful and the weather was
lovely.

I'm so glad.

Please.

Thank you.

You are a very lucky man to have such a
lovely wife and charming daughter.

Very lucky so far.

Felicidades.

Look at that. That's magnificent.

Bravo. Bravo. That is a...

Senor Field, thank you. Thank you so
much for opening your home to me. It is

our pleasure, sir.

You must have had a long trip.

It wasn't too bad.

What are you looking at?

You have hairs in your nose.

So do you. Do not. Do too.

Grow up. You first.

I would like to propose a toast to my
lovely hostess.

Well then, to my wife.

Hmm. If I may, how long have you two
been married?

Eight years. Twelve years.

Eight years.

You're right.

Seems longer.

It is always fascinating to know how
couples first met. How did you meet your

wife, Senor Field?

Uh, that's... You tell this one, Anna.

Oh, no.

You tell it so much better.

Oh, really?

Well, maybe I do.

An angel got them together.

An angel?

He didn't look like an angel, because on
Earth they wear their wings inside.

But he was an angel, all right.

I see. And what did this angel do?

She told my mom she was going to meet
the man she had fallen in love with. But

my mom didn't believe him because she
doesn't believe in angels.

Then one day my mom was at this
restaurant just standing there waiting

for a table. And she heard someone walk
up behind her. And she thought, it's

him. Not him the man I'm supposed to
meet, but it's him.

The man I was supposed to fall in love
with. And it was him. My dad. I mean,

they fell in love and got married and
had me.

And we lived happily ever after in this
house.

What a romantic story.

Did it really happen like that?

Absolutely.

It absolutely is.

I know another one.

Oh, sweetheart.

It's getting really late, and I think
you should say goodnight.

Terrific idea.

Typical married couple.

Always completing each other's
sentences. Oh, yeah.

Come on. Say goodnight to Senor Del
Campo.

Buenas noches.

Good night, Zoe.

Good night, Daddy.

Good night, Zoe.

What a precocious child.

Isn't she, though?

Good night, Hon.

Good night, Senor Fields.

And thank you for a most pleasurable
evening. You are most welcome.

You have a fascinating library.

Well, brother, let's take a book to bed.

Thank you.

Good night, sir.

That was very smooth.

Bill Campbell was watching. What do you
think?

What do you think?

Can I go to my room now?

Yeah, sure.

Sure, it's okay.

Good night.

Good night.

He's still there.

I beg your pardon? In fact, you can even
have my bed.

And I'll crash on the couch.

I don't think so.

Well, speak for yourself, but trust me,
the bed is a lot more comfortable.

My daughter may walk in here in the
middle of the night and find us

together. I can't share your bedroom.

Miss Russell, may I remind you that this
is a business transaction?

And may I point out to you, Mr. Field,
that I am a single mother with a very

impressionable daughter.

If she walks in here and finds us
together, you'll wish you never had a

family, rented or otherwise.

You go to bed already.

Okay.

And just where do you propose, Leslie?

In there.

In the dressing room.

Fine. That's fine.

May I at least have my pillow?

Not my... Is there anything else you
need?

No, no, no.

No, I want in there while it's still
night.

May I at least have something to sleep
in?

All of my things are in the other room.

Goodnight, Daddy. I know you'll be here
soon.

all right in there?

No.

My bed comfortable enough for you?

Very.

Well, good night.

Yeah.

My dears, how are you doing? Thank you
very much. I know you played this, and

here we are.

Now, do you like that? Please.

Hey, hey.

All right.

Water, please.

Good night, sir.

Good night.

Man there is no angle on this.

I don't suppose you fellas feel like
calling off that double or nothing.

I didn't think so Well

I

couldn't

make that one again if my life depended
on it

Gentlemen, let's settle up over a drink.

On me.

Hey,

Jerry!

The tour ain't nearly been as wild and
crazy without you.

Tour?

Okay, okay.

Where to?

A bus station.

Where you headed?

Home.

It's time to go home.

Arthur,

we did it.

Thank you, son.

Oh, no.

Okay, okay.

This is...

This is a really big toy for a little
girl. And you know what big toys do?

They break things.

I'm not going to break anything.

Ow!

Where's Mr. Del Campo?

Dave took him to the airport. Good.
We're ready to go. Zoe, get some coffee.

But, Mommy, we can't leave.

Zoe, what did I tell you? Now, come on,
please.

Thank you, Zoe.

You were very good.

It was great.

How's for you, Mrs.

Miss? Russell, thank you.

You're welcome.

Mr. Hawthorne?

Yes, madam. We're ready to go. Would you
mind putting my bags in my car, please?

Certainly, madam. Thank you.

How did it feel, being a family man?

Completely terrifying.

Oh, good evening, sir.

Good day, Hawthorne.

Great news, everybody.

Senor Del Campo's invited to stay until
negotiations are completed.

Of course, that would require extending
my visit another two weeks. I wouldn't

dream of imposing on your hospitality.
No, no, no, no, Javier.

As I told you, Sam is only too happy to
have you stay.

Su casa es mi casa, right, Sam?

Absolutely. We are only too happy to
have you stay, senor. Are we not?

Absolutely. Would you excuse us, please?
My wife and I need to talk to the cook.

Oh, senora Field, I noticed your
luggage.

Are you going somewhere?

No. No, no, no. Actually, old stuff for
goodwill.

Hawthorne, take care of that, will you?

Yes.

Sir.

All right, Dale. Was there two days? I'm
highly happier about this than you are.

Five thousand.

Ten. Ten?

Ten thousand. Are you crazy?

Hold on.

Hold on. You stay as long as it takes.

The paragraph 2.02 still doesn't read
like I said.

I want to look at the amendments, all of
the amendments. Section 3, this is...

This is... Regard.

Right hand yellow, Zoe.

Right hand... Uh-huh. Okay.

Less than yellow.

Here we go.

Okay.

Here you go.

Right hand, red.

Come on, senior. You can do it.

Oh. I win.

Oh.

Come play with us.

Oh, no. I don't think so.

Why not?

I'm not good at games.

Not about skill?

It's about fun. Come on, there's much
more to life than just work, Senor

Field. Come.

Popcorn's ready.

Oh, absolutely.

Mommy, you play and I'll spin the wheel.

I don't think so.

What's the matter?

Rachel have a little fun?

All right.

Watch this.

Got it.

Right hand blue.

Right hand blue.

That's it?

That's it? Give me an easy one.

Left hand red.

Left hand red. That is easy.

You guys are funny I won

I won

They're not home, Mr. Russell.

Oh, Bridget.

You're a sight for sore eyes. So when
are they going to be back?

I'm not certain.

Well, where are they?

Look, Bridget, I know I should have been
back here a lot sooner.

What's it been, two, three months?

Six months.

Six months.

All right, she got me.

Look, I just...

I want to spend Christmas with my little
girl.

Has she asked about me?

No, Kathleen gave me an address.

For emergencies only.

Could you do me a big favor and not
touch anything?

I'll take the clip.

You don't like them, do you?

Nothing wrong with kids.

Like there's nothing wrong with
broccoli. Some people have a taste for

it, some people don't.

You like broccoli?

No.

Me neither.

Dinner's almost ready.

Where's Mr. Del Campo?

Dave took them to a restaurant.

Well, if you think you can keep her out
of here, this is not a playroom, and

this is not a toy, okay?

She won't bother anything.

Can you tell me something here?

How do you get her to listen, you know?

Zoe, from now on, this room is off
limits.

It's not that hard.

Thank you.

You cut off my cigars.

They're bad for you. Mr.

Hawthorne told me.

These are Cuban cigars. Don't yell at
her. Do you know how much these cost?

Put that down.

Give me that.

That's terrific.

Why is it that everything you touch gets
broken?

This little arrangement does not give
you the right to discipline my daughter.

Well, if you would just teach her some
boundaries, then maybe she'd know

better. That's great advice coming from
a man who needed to rent a family.

Do you think you could just leave me
alone now?

I'll do even better than that.

We quit.

my fault we had to leave.

None of this is your fault.

I'll be right back.

Whoa! Wait, wait, wait. I know I was a
jerk.

Just give me a chance to apologize.

To Zoe.

Okay.

Zoe?

Mr. Field is here, and he has something
to say to you.

Will you talk to him?

I'm sorry, Zoe.

What do I have to do to get you to
forgive me?

A pony would be nice.

A pony?

You're a heck of a negotiator.

I could use you with Del Campo.

Look, I'm really sorry, Zoe. I was...
Dumb?

Yeah.

Yeah, real dumb.

Can you forgive me?

I guess so.

I didn't mean to mess up your desk.

Oh, that's... That's okay. It's just
water.

Can we go back to the house now?

We can go now.

Oh, right!

I'll get dressed.

That was very nice of you, Sam.

Yeah, well, don't look it around. It
could ruin my reputation.

So we'll stay until Delcampo leaves.

Thanks.

You're saving my neck.

Your neck isn't my concern.

I have plans for that money.

Are you the artist?

Very good.

I mean, it's terrific.

You ever thought of doing this
profession?

I wanted to study in Paris, live abroad
for a while, but I got married, had Zoe,

Jerry left, and everything changed.

Couldn't have been easier for you to
walk out of there tonight.

Everything's for Zoe now.

Shall I do more?

Yes.

Excuse me. What?

Do you live here?

I work here.

What do you want? I just need a little
information about the occupants.

You're not from the police, are you?

Yes, ma'am.

Plainclothes. I knew this would lead to
trouble.

What would?

All the lies about the woman and the
little girl being his wife and child.

Tell me about your employer.

Mr. Field?

He owns Field Industries.

Field Industries, huh?

Hey, I bet that one's Donner.

It's Donner.

Donner. Donner are the people who ate
each other.

He studied them in school.

Right, like you'd know.

I'm right.

No. Yes.

No. Yes times infinity.

No times double infinity.

Infinity is forever.

You can't have double forever.

You rented her.

I hope you're not too cold, senor. I
know you're not used to this kind of

weather. Oh, I find it very
invigorating. And I enjoy watching your

wife and daughter having so much fun.

Thank you Are

you

a good little skater Zoe well, I think
your father needs

a little help

told me to help you.

Oh, he did.

I can't skate.

Yes, you can.

My mama taught me, and I'll teach you.

Zoe, I couldn't do it when I was a kid,
and I can't do it now.

There's no need to be afraid.

I'm right here with you. Zoe, I don't...
Come on.

No, this is not a good idea.

No.

Zoe!

Here, here.

I'm going to fall down and I'm going to
fool myself.

Okay. I promise.

Promise?

Cross my heart, hope to die thick as
thousand needles in my eye.

Now, just keep your ankles real
straight.

I am most impressed by your husband's
business.

He has achieved great success.

Sam is a very ambitious man.

There's nothing he won't do to get
ahead.

Shall we?

Sure.

You're an excellent skater.

I'm so assured.

And in control.

As in all things I've noticed.

I've been on the ice since I was this
high.

Though he can't believe that I never
fall down really amazing

Perhaps

it is best not to be so self-assured
life has a way of

surprising us

It did, didn't it?

Watch me!

Excuse me.

Sorry. Care to go again?

Um... You know, I think I'm just
gonna... I'm just gonna sit this one

out.

I think we're cramping your style.

Why? Why do you say that?

Oh, come on.

Tell me you didn't want to skate with
her.

I'm here with your wife, too.

Isn't that my type?

Not your type.

Not really.

You don't trust easily, do you?

I used to.

I think Zoe needs me.

What's this?

Ta-da!

Ta-da. Ta-da.

fun tonight?

Yeah, I cut Sam's escape.

I saw.

Very impressive.

Good night, sweetie.

Sam, Zoe would like you to tuck her in.

Who's this?

That's my dad, my real dad.

Where is he?

He's an astronaut.

Well, that's why him and my mommy got
divorced.

Because he had to go so far away to do
it.

I didn't know that.

Did daddy give you that toy?

Uh-huh.

Can I tell you a secret?

Promise you won't tell Mom?

Cross my heart and hope to die.

My mom gave me a birthday present and
said my dad sent it, and I know it was

really from her.

How do you know that?

I'm seven, but I'm not stupid.

My mom said it was from him, so I
wouldn't think he forgot about me.

But don't tell her I know, because it
would make her feel bad.

Okay?

I don't care about presents. I just
received them for Christmas.

I don't know what I did that was so bad
that he didn't want me no more.

Anymore?

Anymore. But there's got to be a reason
why he doesn't come to see me.

I know I'm clumsy and I drop stuff.

Daddy calls me Butterfingers.

Do you think if I wasn't so clumsy, he
would have stayed?

Oh, no,

Zoe. Everybody drops stuff.

It's not a big deal.

Maybe I'm just not lovable.

Zoe, of course you are.

Zoe, some people...

It's just really good at loving other
people, you know?

And some people don't know how.

Nobody ever showed them.

Like I showed you how to skate?

Yeah, sort of.

Did your dad love you?

Didn't always feel like he did.

Were you bad?

I wasn't good enough at sports.

That was really important to him. He was
a star of his college baseball team.

I think your dad should have loved you
even if he couldn't do stuff perfect.

Can I tell you a secret?

Sure.

I remember one time I was about your
age, and my dad was trying to teach me

how to catch a ball.

You know?

And he kept throwing the ball, and I
kept missing it.

Mostly because the glove that he gave me
was too big for my hand, you know? I

mean, I just kept flipping.

He kept looking more and more mad.

He threw one on his...

It swirled really, really high in the
air, and as I watched it come down, I

just prayed to God to catch it just one
time.

Did you catch it?

I hit my glove.

I couldn't hold on to it.

Glove slipped, and I dropped the ball.

What did your dad do?

He just looked at me.

And then he walked away.

And that was it for Catch.

It wasn't your fault. It's a stupid
glove.

He should have got you a glove that fit.

You know something?

I never told anybody that before.

Oh, don't worry. I won't tell.

Cross my heart, hope to die. Stick a
thousand needles in my eye. Yeah, yeah,

I remember, I remember.

You better get some sleep. What do you
think?

Okay.

I thought you could use the... Thanks.

You're a bright kid.

A little too bright sometimes.

If you don't mind my asking, where is
your father?

Who knows?

Jerry is... Well, he's something of a
con artist.

A golfer who couldn't stay on the tour.

He left six months ago without saying
goodbye to Zoe, so she keeps thinking

he'll come back.

Does he ever see her?

He phones now and then.

Last time was a few months ago.

He said he would be passing through and
that he'd stop by.

She fell asleep waiting by the window.

What happened?

He never showed up.

After that, she started, you know,
having some problems. I think you should

make him see her.

You can't make someone be a parent. You,
of all people, should understand that.

I just haven't met the right person,
that's all.

Look, Sam, I don't know if you realize
it, but Zoe, she's becoming very

fond of you.

I wouldn't encourage it.

Because... Because you're just passing
through her life, too.

I feel bad enough about putting her in
this position, so please, just let us do

our job and leave when it's finished
with no hurt feelings.

All right?

Zoe, what are you doing in Mr. Del
Campo's room?

Look, Annie, I knew it all along. He's
an angel.

Don't be silly. The blanket has
feathers. That's all it is.

It's from his wing.

You'll see.

Well, if everything checks out,
gentlemen, we should be able to draw up

the contract by next week.

Of course, that's Christmas.

Oh, that's no problem at all, right,
sir? Now, you're welcome to share the

holidays with us, sir.

Don't you have some... No, there's only
my son and his family there in Hong Kong

until the new year.

My son has business there.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Kathleen and Zoe know you're here? Not
yet, but I'm going to see them as soon

as I find out just what they're up to.

I don't know what you mean.

Let me help you.

You and Kathleen aren't married.
Kathleen hasn't moved out of her

apartment. So what are she and Zoe doing
living with you?

Kathleen's helping me out with a
business deal.

Don't hustle a hustler, Sam.

How does it feel to be in the middle of
closing the biggest deal of your life?

I don't see how that's any of your
concern.

What concerns my wife and child concerns
me.

Ex-wife.

Still.

What do you think this Javier Del Campo
would say if he knew they're not your

family? I think he'd say, Ay, caramba,
and I'd tail it back to Mexico.

How much do you want, Jerry?

Oh, I just need a little something to
tide me over till I get back on tour,

say, somewhere north of 10,000,
somewhere south of 20.

Well, let's make it 20. I'll have it the
day after Christmas.

Just one condition.

You don't contact Kathleen or Zoe until
then. Sam, they're my family. If I want

to see them, I'll see them. Not until
after Christmas or we have no deal.

Okay, okay.

Call my office.

Give me your address and phone number. I
contact you.

Pleasure doing business with you, Sam.

Why didn't you say goodbye to Zoe?

I couldn't.

Now, you'll find that most of the terms
of the agreement are... Well,

Mexican wedding cake cookers.

Senora Field, they're perfect.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Where were we?

Oh, yes, the contract has failed.

The first thing... Failed?

I thought this was a merger.

Well, not exactly.

Don't worry about it, darling. It's just
business. You wouldn't understand.

Oh, I think even my dense little female
brain can understand the difference

between a merger and a sale.

Will production move to Mexico?

Oh, yes, of course.

Now, that means that most of your
employees will lose their jobs.

Are you certain that is not a problem?

Oh, well, no, that's no problem at all,
because we have a referral plan. They'll

be just fine.

They'll be just fine? Yes, they'll be
just fine.

Could you ask Annie if she has any more
coffee to go with these delicious

cookies, dear?

Certainly, dear.

Oh, Annie, the gentleman would like more
coffee. And put some arsenic in Mr.

Fields.

Mr.

Fields?

You're wanted on the floor.

Culpepper says it's urgent.

Come on, something done right.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

It's not my fault.

It happened in an instant, and once it
got started, it was like a revolt. There

you are. Good. I knew you wouldn't want
to miss this.

Here's the ringleader.

Oh, loosen up, Cully. Kathleen.

Miss Russell, what is going on?

It's real nice of you to throw this bash
press, Mr. Fields.

Carly's a single mother, like most of
the women you have working for you here.

Pleased to meet you, Cully.

Oh, the pleasure is mine.

And I just wanted to thank you, Mr. F.
In six months, I will have saved enough

of my hard-earned money to go to nursing
school at night.

And it's all thanks to you.

Cheers.

Over there is Sarah Quincy.

Sarah's baby is due next month. She
really should be home resting, you know,

but she's seeing her husband. They
bought this lovely little house and they

really need two incomes.

And over there is Susan Epstein. Did you
know that Susan has been here since the

day the plant opened? That's terrific.
So in a way, Sam, she has as much

invested here as you do.

Come with me, will you please? Thank
you.

Wow.

Okay, okay, you made your point. Now I'm
going to make mine. Let me explain how

business works. It's a fast track.

You either run in front or you get run
over. I just wanted you to look into

their faces before you take away their
security. There are plenty of jobs for

people like them. You can't begin to
understand what it's like out here. I

know what it's like. I was there once
myself, and I worked my way up, and so

can these people. Come on, Sam. You've
forgotten what it's like to live from

paycheck to paycheck. And you've never
had to stare into the face of a child

who was too worried to ask questions.
But for a lot of these people, this job

is the only thing that stands between
them and welfare. We can make of

ourselves anything we want. That's
called free enterprise.

Is that your father talking?

This has nothing to do with my father.

Of course it does.

He wanted the approval so badly you
can't see that he failed in what really

matters. Wait, what would you know about
that?

Don't watch out. You're going to make
the same mistake he did.

Oh, well, now we're getting into your
area of expertise.

What are you talking about? You are so
terrified about repeating your own

mistakes, you won't let another man near
you.

That's absurd.

Is it really?

Sometimes I feel so close to you, it
scares me.

Because I've already been with a man who
would sell out his family and his

friends for a deal.

What are you saying? That if I make this
deal with Del Campo, you're walking

away?

Wasn't that the plan all along?

Yeah, no.

One thing has nothing to do with
another.

Well, of course it does.

I mean, who's to say if a better deal
comes along, I won't wind up like one of

those workers over there.

That's good.

That's...

You are the most impossible woman I have
ever met. You know, I can see now why

your husband walked out on you.

Tell me then.

Why did he walk out on Zoe, too?

Mr.

Fields, I was hoping I could leave a
little early.

I still have to get some last-minute
presents.

Of course you can.

Good night, Betty. Merry Christmas.

Good night.

Merry Christmas.

President.

President.

I think it goes this way.

How did you know that? Ah, I've done
this sort of thing before.

Yeah, well, that's enough for Mr.
Dinosaur.

Tired?

Yeah.

Putting people out of work must be
exhausting.

Look, Kathleen, I'm going to do whatever
it takes.

To help those people find other jobs.
I'm not just going to throw them out

with two weeks' notice. I'm even going
to provide placement services.

I appreciate that.

And I'm sorry that I lost my head. I
didn't mean... Oh, me too. I was way out

of line.

I've never seen so many presents.

Del Campo will be impressed.

Not for Del Campo's benefit, but for
Zoe's.

I don't know.

I wanted to give her a nice Christmas.

Thank you.

That's very thoughtful of you.

I remember my dad.

He was a milkman, so, you know, he...

Didn't have much money, but every
Christmas I get one big gift. And one

year I got this elaborate paint set, and
I just went crazy. I painted everything.

I even painted the cat.

Best Christmas I ever had.

What was yours?

This one.

My mother.

Um, she used to put my pictures up on
the refrigerator.

She even framed some of them.

Very proud of me.

Made me think I could be an artist for
real someday.

You still can.

That's the dream, but right now I have
to think about Zoe.

You're really gutsy, you know that?

I don't have a choice.

So now I'll tell you.

The only reason I've avoided starting a
family is because... because I was

afraid I'd be a lousy father.

I've seen you with Zoe. You'd be an
excellent father.

I look at you now and... and I see...

I better go up.

Yeah.

Coming, honey.

Wow.

Look at all those presents, huh?

Aren't you excited, Zoe?

I guess so.

For a little girl who has so much, you
don't seem very happy, Zoe.

But I thought... How do you know you
didn't get what you wanted if you

haven't opened your presents yet?

Good point.

Okay, so who's opening what first?

My first!

Oh, for me? Yes, for you.

Okay.

Good way to start. Did you wrap this
yourself?

Yeah. Very impressive.

What have we got here?

It fits your major.

You want to know how?

I borrowed one of your regular gloves,
so I know the right size.

This one won't flip around on your hand.

I'll bet you can catch every single ball
with it.

Don't you like it?

Oh, I wonder what this can be.

Oh, it's beautiful.

But I can't. Of course you can.

It's for that dream of yours.

Let's see what we have here.

Oh, this is wonderful.

It's like Santa forgot something.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas.

It is Christmas, right, Sam? Morning,
Dave.

Thank you.

Feliz Navidad, sir.

Oh, Senor Herbert.

Well, Feliz Navidad. Próspero Año Nuevo
y Felicidades.

Right. I've got you a little something
here for... Well, it's for signing the

contract.

Beautiful. Gracias, senor.

You know, I happen to have the contract
with me.

Why don't we sign it now, and that way
we don't have to wait till tomorrow.

Very well.

Senor.

You know, I never do business on
Christmas Day.

But... Dave.

It'll wait.

I'll go get breakfast.

Senora Field.

Look above you.

Since you're both standing beneath it,
are you not supposed to kiss?

Excuse me, Senor Del Campo.

There's something I have to do.

Zoe! Daddy, daddy, daddy!

It's great to see you.

Oh, Zoe, I've missed you so much. I've
missed you, too.

You look just like your mommy.

Hey, Kathleen.

Daddy, I got a present for you. Come on,
I'll show you. Okay, come on.

When did he come back?

A couple of days ago.

I'm sorry, Kathleen, I should have told
you. Daddy?

Please tell me that's not her father.

Senor Field, who was that gentleman?
with Zoe.

That's Zoe's real father.

I've got some explaining to do.

That is beautiful.

Me, you, mommy.

I'm curious, senor.

Why do you tell me this now when
everything you wish for is within your

reach? I don't know.

I think you do.

No, it was stupid pretending to have a
family.

You weren't pretending all the time.

When you try to decide what is
important, always think with the heart,

not the head.

The heart is wiser.

Wait a minute.

Wait one minute.

We still have a signed contract.

Yes, we do.

So it is up to you, Senior Field.

You still want to go through with it.

I did not think so.

Well, I have no further business here.

Vaya con Dios.

Wait, senora.

Senora, you didn't meet my family. Dave.
What? Let it go.

Sam, we have a signed contract. Let it
go.

What are you doing?

Oh, how long are you staying, Jerry?

I gotta be leaving tonight.

Tonight? Ah, Zoe, I have this great
opportunity. Now, this could get me back

on the tour.

You're gonna be so proud of your old
man.

Before you leave this time, you better
say goodbye.

I'm afraid so, honey.

I'd stay if I could, but I... You can
never stay.

Zoe, you are still the best thing in my
life.

I love you, darling.

Always will.

But you and your mama, you deserve
something better. You deserve somebody

who can be with you every day, honey.

And I think you might have found that.

Zoe.

Zoe.

You'll always be my special girl, Ellie.

Come on, Zoe!

What is she doing?

Zoe! All right, I'll get it.

Hang on, I'm coming!

Zoe, I'm right here.

My fingers are cold. I can't hold on.

Okay, you listen to me now, Zoe. I'm
going to catch you.

All you have to do is let go.

No!

I'm not going to drop you, Zoe. You've
got to trust me.

Zoe. Zoe, just do as he says.

I love you, Zoe.

And I'm not going to let anything happen
to you.

Now.

Right now.

Yeah.
