Happy holidays, everyone,
from all of us to all of you...

at Cedar Heights
Shop and Save.

[ Clatters ]

Mom.

Oh, Alex.
What are you doing here?

Let's go.

[ Man ]
Sir?

Robert?

Mike wants
to speak with you.

Oh. Okay.

[ Pen Clacking ]

So, would you say
that you have a lot
of stocking experience?

[ Sighs ]
I don't know.

I guess. I help my grandma
put her groceries away
every week.

- Grandma's groceries.
How old is your grandma?
- Uh, 82 or 83.

I'm not sure
at this point.
Eighty-two?

[ Sighs ]
I don't know.

Don't touch those.

[ Sighs ]
Look,

I'm just gonna
be straight with you.

Do you think
you're Cedar Heights
Shop and Save material?

I mean, do you wanna
become a part
of this family?

- I don't know.
I guess I do.
- You guess you do?

Yeah.
You guess?

Okay. Well, look--

Peter?
Yeah. Peter.

I'm just gonna
be honest with you.

I'm not sure you
want this bad enough.

In fact, I know you
don't want this bad enough.

Because I've got guys
lined up around the block.
Not today--

Okay. Well, thanks
for your time.

Well-- No, no. Okay.

- Mike.
- Hey, Robert.

Um, okay, Peter,
look, how about this?

How about we give it a month,
and then we'll see
where we're at.

Okay? All right.
Okay. Thanks.

Can I have one of these?
No, you leave that there.

Yeah.
Right up the stairs.
Thanks.

Robert.
How's work going today?

- Uh, fine.
- Yeah?

Yeah, they said you
needed to talk with me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have a seat.
Have a seat.

Ah, busy day.
Busy day here
at Shop and Save.

We got a lot of--

[ Tapping Buttons ]

[ Tapping Continues ]
Fix that later.

Whatever.

Uh, so, Robert,
how's the whole everything?

Fine.

- Yours?
- Great.

In fact, it's great
that you asked,

because...

I have something
you need to see.

Now, I think
I found something that
could really help us all out.

I don't wanna
hype it up too much.

I'm just gonna cut
to the chase here. Okay?

Okay.
I truly think
that this...

could change
the way we celebrate
the holiday season.

Are you ready?

Are you ready, sir?

Uh, yeah.
Yeah? Okay.

These are...

Christmas recipe books,

stuffed full
of holiday-themed
dinners and desserts--

everything
from St. Nick Stew
to my personal favorite,

Christmas tree-shaped cookies--
all delicious.

I've made
many of them myself.
Really?

Y-You m-made them yourself?

No. It's--
It's part of the pitch.

Oh.
Look, Robert, I'm not
trying to sell you this thing.

I want us to go
into business together,
you and me.

- I don't understand.
- Okay.

Look, all I have to do
is get a team of people
working under me,

and then they get a team
of people working under them,

and then we
all start profiting
off of each other.

See, the more people
we get involved,
the more money we make.

There's no chance
we can fail
if we never give up.

Well, yeah,
that makes sense to me.

Yes. Yes. Okay.
So, what do you think?

Should we get everyone
up in the store
selling these things? Huh?

Granted, it might be
kind of weird...

to have all of the employees
of this place all of a sudden
be millionaires.

Right?
I'll-- I'll think
about it, yeah.

Hey, do you want, uh,
one of these?

Take it home?
Give it to someone
you care about?

Maybe another time.

- Uh-huh. All right.
- Well, good-bye for now.

Okay. Hey, do you want
a ride home today
or anything?

Uh, no. I feel
like walking. Yeah.

- All right.
- Bye.

[ Clock Ticking ]

Hi.
[ Gasps ]

I'm sorry for--
for coming in like this, but--
I don't know who you are.

I-I'm sorry.
Get out.

I'm sorry
for coming in like this.
Take what you want.

Get out of my house.
My daughter and I
are moving in...

across the street, and--
Get out of here.

I didn't invite you here.
Leave now, please.

The door was open, and I-I--
I just wanted to make sure
you weren't hurt.

Hurt?
I was just seeing
that you're okay.

- That I was okay?
- Your car is crashed
into the garage.

Yeah.
I just wanted to make sure
that everything was all right.

And then the door was open.
Yeah, the door was open.

But that doesn't mean
you walk into somebody's house.
All right, I'm sorry.

Please, I promise you.

Wait, wait.
Just wait. Wait. Wait.
Huh?

Wait. Who are you?

My name is Mary.

My name is Robert Malone.

Nice to meet you,
Robert.

Nice to meet you.

This is a funny thing.

Yes, it is.
[ Laughing ]

Well--
Well, I should
be getting back.

Yeah. Thanks
for checking on me.

Of course.

Bye.
Well--

Bye.
Bye.

[ Door Closes ]

Good-bye.

[ Exhales ]

[ Doorbell Rings ]

Robert.

Mary.

Yes.

Hi.
I was just wondering--

Um, I don't know.
This may sound crazy.

But I-- Um,

could we have dinner
together tomorrow?

Uh-- I was--
[ Stammering ]

I was--

[ Stammering ]

I'm sorry. Don't--
I made a mistake.

- Excuse me.
- But-But-But--
No, no, no.

But-- No, no.
Please, stop. Stop.

Please.
Please stop. Wait.

- Yes.
- Yes?

Yes.

We should have dinner
together tomorrow.

- Oh, great.
- Great.

Okay.
Okay.

Um-- Should
I pick you up since--

- Yeah. Yeah.
That would be good.
- Yeah.

How did that happen?

I had to use the restroom.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Okay. See you tomorrow
at 6:00 to pick you up.
- Okay.

Bye.

- Robert.
- Yes?

You should pick a place
for us to go on our date.

- Date. Date.
- Yeah.

Sure.

Okay.

- Night.
- Bye.

- Robert?
- Yeah?

I'm really glad we met.

[ Chuckles ]
Me too.

Good night.
Night.

What are you doing tonight,
Robert? What are you
doing tonight, Robert?

Oh, you know.

You're going on a date.
[ Chuckling ]

You're going on a date.
[ Chuckling ]

A date?

I can't do this.

I've gotta do it.

I-I need to ask you
some-some questions.

Okay. What, uh--
What are they?

Well, they're ab--

about women.

Women?
Yeah.

[ Inhales ]
Yeah. You wanna ask me
questions about women.

What-- What it is, is, uh--
this, uh-- um--

There's this woman.

She likes me.
I think she likes me.
Sure.

But I, um--
Anyway, she wants
to go on a date.

Oh, I can help you.

You can?
Yes, I can.

Good. Good.
Mm-hmm.

- What do I do?
- Well--

You wanna
impress her, right?
Yes.

And make her happy?
Show her a good time?
Yes. Yes.

When is this date,
Robert?
Yes. Uh, tonight.

Tonight? Well, that's
pretty short notice.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.

It's just with such
short notice, it's hard to
plan out a whole stratego.

Stratego?
Yeah. Never mind. Look.

What?
If you want her
to really be into you,

you can't look
at this as a date.
I can't?

No. But there is a lot
of planning that goes
into these things,

a lot of strategies.
Uh-huh.

It's like
you're a soldier.
A soldier?

Soldier. Yes,
a soldier of love.

Oh. [ Laughs ]
Well-- Yeah.
Yeah.

Absolutely. Yeah.
So, are you ready?

I mean--
I'm ready.

'Cause I have
a lot of ideas
that can help you out.

Good. I need help.
Good.

Well, Peter,
would you, uh, get me
the phone book, please?

[ Peter ]
Yellow or white?
White.

And look up the number
for the restaurant
Fantaisie et Romantique.

Oh, hey, look.

These are from
the, uh-- the cookbook.
Why don't you try one?

- Mmm. Good.
- Ah, that's great.
That's great.

No, I love these things,
you know? It's just--

- [ Munching ]
Good.
- You like them?

I'm telling you,
those are million-dollar
cookies right there.

A million each. Yeah.

All right,
take your time.

Thank you.

You're not gonna
regret this, Robert.
[ Man ] How may I help you?

Oui. Yes.

Um, could I get a, uh--
a réservation...

for, uh, dos.

Robert Malone, please.

What ti--
What time?
Tonight.

- Tonight.
What time tonight?
- She's picking me up at 6:00.

6:30, please. Oui.

Okay.

Um-- Uh, gracias.

They said, uh,
just bring
a credit card.

Simple as that.
Good. Good. Thank you.

Well, you know, I do have
a few more tricks
up my sleeve.

Thank you. It's--

You do like
the cookie?
I love the cookie.

Because you're
not finishing it.
You're just holding it.

No, no.
Which is fine.
I'm just saying.

No. I know. I like it.
I wanna save it
for later.

Psst. Uh, psst.
What? Robert.

I hate to bother you
while you're working,

but I've got
a question to ask you.

Okay. What is it?
Well, I wanna ask you--

Mike helped me a great deal,
but I need a little--

What is it, Robert?

[ Sighs ]

When you go out on a date--

You have any tips?

- [ Chuckling ]
- Take her someplace fancy.

I suggest downtown.

Oh, and then afterwards, you
can snuggle up on one of those
horse-drawn carriage rides.

Hello.

Oh, no.

Hello.

Compliment her.
Tell her how nice she is,

how pretty she looks
in her dress, her shoes.

Oh! Her shoes!

Okay. Compliment her.

Your shoes look amazing tonight.

Wow! Your shoes look
amazing tonight. Oh.

Look at your shoes, how...
wonderful they look. Oh.

- Kiss her.
- Don't kiss her.
Even if you want to.

Oh, really?
That's very funny.
[ Laughing ]

- Act like she means
nothing to you.
- But she means a lot to me.

No way, man.
When girls see you don't care,
they want you even more.

They'll be like,
"Bobby, put down
the video game controller."

And you'll be like,
"No. I'm a lone wolf
on this mission.

I gotta fly solo."
That's the stupidest thing
I ever heard.

"Stupidest."

That's not a word.

White shirt, black pants,
black shoes...

and a black blazer
with a red tie.

This combination
will always result...

in good results.

Do you need help?
Oh, I do.
I can't get this.

Thanks, hon.

- You look pretty.
- Alex.

I know you don't
want me to do this,

but it's something
I have to do.

- I just worry, Mom.
- There's nothing
to worry about.

How can you say that?
This is a bad idea.

All right, Alex,
thank you very much.
I've heard enough.

I'm gonna do it.

[ Man ]
* The dream alive

- Mom!
- I'm going out on a date!
That's all I'm doing!

Would you please just relax?

Who knows? Maybe we
won't even get along.

* Shadows

* On the mistletoe

* No one to kiss you

* You're alone

* I'm looking at your gift

* I wonder where you are

* On someone's arm

* I'm dry

* And warm

* I face the fire

[ Doorbell Rings ]
* My hands are cold

Hi.
Hello.

Are you ready?

Yes. I-I do--
I-I have directions.

Oh! Okay.

Take me away.
Okay.

Thank you.

What did you--
What did you order again?

It's like a salad.

That's a... great choice.

Mm, thanks.

You-- You look
very nice tonight.

Oh. Thank you.

And... your shoes look
very nice too.

Oh! Thank you again.
I-- I--

I just mean that you--
you look very nice,
that's what I--

So, you had to go
to the restroom?
No, I'm okay.

No, no.
I meant your car.

You said you had to go
to the restroom and that's
why it was stuck in the garage.

Yeah. Right.

So, what happened?

Oh. I--

I was backing the car
out of the garage,

and I closed
the garage door,
and then I had to go.

Something like that
almost happened to me once.

Really?
No.

[ Laughs ]
Don't feel bad.
[ Laughs ]

How does your food taste?

Oh, it's-- it's fine.

You don't like it, do you?

Well, to be honest,
I think it could
taste better.

I mean, I think it looks nice,
but I think it could
taste better, I think.

Mine's horrible.

[ Chuckles ]

And this is coming
from somebody
who eats TV dinners.

I love TV dinners.
Yes.

Okay.

I've seen you before.

Where?
When I go shopping.

You mean at--
at the store?

Yeah. Every day you eat
and you sketch pictures.

And I snuck a peek,
and I think
they're really good.

You've been watching me?
I think you're
a real artist.

Oh.

Good one.
No, no, no. It's true.

Well, thank you.

When I was a little girl,

my favorite book to read
was Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Oh, I wanted life
to be like that.

You know, find true love
and live happily ever after.

You know, all the dreams
we have growing up.

And then...
everything changes.

You know, every year
that goes by just--

It'll all be okay.

There's no chance
to fail...

if you don't give up.

Oh!
[ Chuckles ]

Let's make each other
a promise, okay?

A promise?
A-A-A promise of what?

That we'll never give up.

Okay.

[ Both Laughing ]

So, how do you like working
at the grocery store?

Oh, it's fine.
It's fine, you know.

There's more to it
than meets the eye, you know.
Oh, I'm sure.

Yeah.

You go on dates often?
This is my first one
since my husband left.

Oh.

[ Man ]
Hop on in.

Oh, thank you.
Hey, do-- do
I pay you now or--

You can pay me
after the ride.
Okay. Thank you.

[ Mary ]
Get in all right?
Yeah.

Do you think
it's safe?
Oh, of course it's safe.

No, it's safe.
Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Here. Yeah.
Oh. Thank you.

You're welcome.
[ Man ]
Merry Christmas!

Oh, I'm really
enjoying this.

The lights are so pretty.

They are, aren't they?
Yeah.

[ Church Bells Tolling ]

It's getting kind
of cold though.

Yeah. I wish they had
another blanket.

I've got an idea.

Why don't we both use
this one?

Okay.
[ Laughs ]

That's good.

Oh, there.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

[ Mary ]
I think I've
finally gotten warm.

You're okay now?
I'm fine, yes.

I had
a good time tonight.
Oh, me too.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Okay.
Okay. Yeah.

I'm so happy.

I'm sorry about before.

I just wanna protect you.

I know, honey.

That's all right.

This is the right thing.
It really is.

You have to trust me.

Okay.

Hello, sir.
My name is

I was curious if you'd be
interested in buying sleds
to keep kids off the streets.

- Well, how much?
- Five dollars.

Oh. Uh--

- Did the phone just ring?
- No.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

- Oh. So, how much--
how much are they?
- Five dollars.

All-- All right.
I'll, uh--
I'll take a sled.

Man, is that all you're
going to spend to help keep
the kids off the streets?

I haven't come here
since I was a kid.
It's great.

Yeah, we used
to come and cut down
our Christmas trees here.

But I don't think they
let you do that anymore.
Oh, I'm sure they don't.

Oh, I wanted
to ask you a question.
Yeah?

I would just love it
if you would be my date...

for this party
on Christmas Eve.

I'd love to.
You would?

Of course I'll--
I'll go. Sure.

Really?
Yeah. Why wouldn't I?

Well, I don't know
how to answer that.
[ Both Laugh ]

Hey.

** [ "Ave Maria" Continues ]

It's so beautiful...

if we just slow down enough
to really see it.

I've never seen it before.

I may--

I may have wasted
my whole life.

Robert, stop it.
You haven't.

- I have.
- No, you didn't.

Don't think about the past.

The past is just...

something we can't do
anything about.

And the future is--
Who knows?
It could be wonderful or...

[ Sighs ]
it could be something else.

We don't know.

So...

let's just be happy now.

All right.

Let's just care about
right now.

I can't wait to give you
your Christmas present.

My Christmas present?
Yeah.

It's perfect.

Oh. Good.

Uh-huh. And what is that?

It's the perfect gift.
Ah. Can you be
a little more specific?

Well, I don't know
what it is yet,

but I will know
what it is when I see it.
Okay.

- Jeans? Is she
a jean wearer?
- No, no, no.

All right, well,
we'll figure it out.

Are you seeing anything
that kind of resembles
the perfect gift?

Here. How about that?
That looks good.

I don't know about that.
Are those the right sizes?

Uh, yeah. Probably.

Robert, look at this.
Hey! Hey!
What? A lot of stuff here.

What do you say?
Oh, okay.

This is something else.
I-- I would wear this.
I wouldn't.

No. No.

Ah. Here we go.
Give her this.
She'll like it.

Really?
Yeah. Trust me.

Maybe that's
the perfect one.
We don't know right now.

Maybe later on
we will know.
I don't like that color.

See, this is progress.
We're figuring stuff out.
I'm not sure she'll like that.

[ Laughs ]
Cute, right?

Yeah. They're adorable,
if you're shopping
for a five-year-old.

God, you're lucky
you brought me.

* Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way *

- * Oh, what fun it is to ride
- What's going on?

* In a one-horse open sleigh

This is it.
This is the gift.

Okay. Well, what
about all this stuff?

Well-- Well, that's all
I need, you know, but--

Okay.
Just in case, we better get
this stuff too.

Okay.
* Jingle bells

Thanks, Mike.
I really appreciate it.
Yeah.

All right. That was fun.
That was great. Thank you.

I'll see you in the morning.

Presents.

For me?

Uh, no.

go back inside.

- I don't want you
to catch cold or anything.
- All right.

Um, I just wanted
to say, Robert,
if you ever need anything,

anything at all, you just
come on over and ask.

I'm happy to help.
Oh, that's very nice of you.
Thank you.

All right.
Nice meeting you.

Hey, guess what.
What?

You're not gonna believe it
if I tell you, but last night...
I met somebody.

Ah.
Yeah.

That I think m--
means a lot to me.

Really?
Yeah.

Well, good for you.
Where did you meet her?

God, she's amazing, Robert.
You know?

We're gonna go see
Fiddler on the Roof tonight.
[ Laughs ] Great.

Great. I'm so happy
for you, Mike.
I mean,

you were kind of an inspiration,
you know-- you and Mary.
Oh, no.

No.
Yeah, so thank you.

That's silly.
Whoa, whoa.
You know--

[ Laughs ]

Hey, how are things
with Mary?

Good?
Fine, fine.

Yeah? Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

- Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Oh!

[ Mike ]
You know, I don't know
what the deal is.

They see me, they just
see a big target walking
around or something.

You know what?
Do your worst, kids!

You can't break my spirits
today! You can't!
You can't do it!

You little ass... shits!

Hey, hey! Easy, easy.
Next thing you know,
they'll be egging my house.

What, we're gonna live in fear
of these little punks our whole
lives? You little punks!

[ Laughs ] Well, it's pretty sad
when two grown men are afraid
to make fun of 10-year-olds.

[ Laughs ]
Well, I guess so.

Uh-- Uh, I do hate them
though.

Well, I mean--
It's not a big deal.

All right, well, I better
get to the store there, Robert.
Oh, yeah.

All right. Hey, what are
you doing today?
Well--

I was... planning on
spending it with Mary.

- Oh.
- If that's okay with you.

That's great.
Good.

Just have fun, you know?
Yeah.

Hello.
Hi. Good evening.
How can I help you?

Could you refill this

Okay.

I'm sorry, but I can't
refill this for you now.

Why not?
Um, there's a flag
on the prescription.

You're gonna have
to wait till Monday,
if that's okay.

Oh, no. I-I can't--
can't wait until Monday.

I-- This is all arranged
with my doctor.

Well, if you'd like,
you can call your doctor
and arrange something,

but I'm afraid
I can't do anything.
He's away for the holidays.

Please. This is very important.
I have to have this
before Monday.

Ma'am, that would be
breaking the law.

Nice to meet you too.
Oh--

Um, and, by the way,
Buck was looking for you.

Oh, thank you.
So merry Christmas,

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

You sure you're okay?

Yeah, just a little

Ah, you don't have to be

They're just people.

Very nice to meet you,

Hello, Robert.

You're her ex-husband,
aren't you?

Excuse me?

You're a worthless
human being.

What are you talking about?

You left her.
You hurt her.

Mary?
Don't you mention
her name.

Look, I don't know
what was just going on,
but I'm gonna find out.

Robert, nothing happened.
People like you do not
deserve people like her!

- You stop it right now--
- Shut your mouth!

[ Beeps ]

New messages.

Mary, this is Dr. Patrick.
I got your message.

No need to worry.
I talked to the pharmacy and--

Robert?

Hey.
Hey.

How's it going?

I think it's okay.
She's taking care of it.

Good.

How you doing?
[ Laughs ]
Good. You having fun?

Robert,
put your coat on.

I think I just made
a mistake.
Why? What's wrong?

What? I'm sorry.
Did I ruin the party?
What are you talking about?

I yelled at your husband.
You what?

Well, he was making--
putting moves on you,
and I--

I didn't know whether
that was right or not and--

Are you still in love
with him?

Robert, what?
Buck is not my husband.

And he certainly
wasn't putting moves
on me.

No, but in the room
upstairs--

In the room upstairs
he was giving me this
to give to you.

He gave me this?
Yes.

Oh.
Oh, my God. I--

Should I open it?
No, no, no.

Let's save it
for Christmas, huh?

Maybe I should go in
and apologize.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

You know what?
I think it was a mistake to
come here in the first place.

Let's just go.
I want to be alone
with you.

Wait. What's that?

What?
Do you hear that?

Yeah.
Come here.

* I'm dreaming

* Of a white Christmas

this as a present?

I--

I don't know.

I don't know.

You weren't going
to kill yourself?

Why?

I was gonna end it
because I was tired.

Because I-I didn't want
to be alone anymore, and I--

I--

But then--
then I met you.

Mary, don't leave me.
Please don't leave me.

I'm not leaving you.
I mean, if you leave me,
everything leaves me.

I'm not gonna leave you.
I'm here.

You can't leave me.

Mary, I'm in love with you.

This is what love is.

When I saw you--

[ Stammering ]

You--

It was like breathing.

I've loved you since
the first moment I saw you.

Hi!
Hi! Hi, Robert!

Hi, Mom.

You fixed the car.
Yeah. And also--

The garage!

Good as new.

How did you do that?
Why, thank you so much.
Oh, you're welcome.

This is terrific.
It is.
It's delicious.

It's great.

Thank you for coming.

for a week, but--

but, Mary, when--

bad before,
