1
00:00:25,813 --> 00:00:26,804
John?
2
00:00:27,336 --> 00:00:28,692
Nelle. Hello.
3
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:30,176
Hi.
4
00:00:31,745 --> 00:00:33,181
Everything all right?
5
00:00:33,389 --> 00:00:35,110
Well, actually...
6
00:00:35,353 --> 00:00:36,628
...no.
7
00:00:37,115 --> 00:00:40,798
My father was just
let go from his job...
8
00:00:41,003 --> 00:00:44,400
...and he's determined to bring suit
for wrongful termination.
9
00:00:44,651 --> 00:00:46,407
It'll be a tough case.
10
00:00:46,655 --> 00:00:49,733
You're the only one I know
who could conceivably win it.
11
00:00:49,982 --> 00:00:51,738
Okay.
12
00:00:51,986 --> 00:00:53,708
Why was he fired?
13
00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:55,625
He...
14
00:00:56,715 --> 00:00:58,390
...believes he's Santa Claus.
15
00:01:00,443 --> 00:01:02,243
All right.
16
00:01:03,208 --> 00:01:05,933
- His job was...?
- A schoolteacher.
17
00:01:08,058 --> 00:01:09,734
He used to be a lawyer.
18
00:01:09,982 --> 00:01:12,627
He retired from that at 65
and began teaching.
19
00:01:13,149 --> 00:01:16,465
It's his life. If he can't teach...
20
00:01:16,675 --> 00:01:19,400
Wouldn't it behoove him to
stop saying he's Santa Claus?
21
00:01:19,641 --> 00:01:21,476
Well, yes.
22
00:01:21,766 --> 00:01:24,809
But he really...
23
00:01:25,052 --> 00:01:26,933
...thinks he is.
24
00:01:28,860 --> 00:01:31,299
I'd like to bring an injunction
first thing.
25
00:01:32,989 --> 00:01:34,629
Would you meet with him?
26
00:01:34,872 --> 00:01:36,023
Yeah, sure.
27
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,116
Dad?
28
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:44,364
John Cage...
29
00:01:45,574 --> 00:01:47,010
...my father.
30
00:01:47,578 --> 00:01:48,934
A pleasure, John.
31
00:01:49,903 --> 00:01:51,544
Mr. Claus?
32
00:01:51,747 --> 00:01:53,580
Oh, please. Call me Kriss.
33
00:01:57,357 --> 00:01:58,839
I've been down this road
34
00:02:00,404 --> 00:02:02,399
The Man with a Bag
35
00:02:02,568 --> 00:02:06,615
Walking the line
That's painted by pride
36
00:02:07,178 --> 00:02:09,457
And I have made mistakes in my life
37
00:02:09,703 --> 00:02:13,384
That I just can't hide
38
00:02:13,991 --> 00:02:16,590
Oh, I believe I am ready
39
00:02:16,837 --> 00:02:20,553
For what love has to bring
40
00:02:21,165 --> 00:02:23,685
I got myself together
41
00:02:23,891 --> 00:02:28,132
Yeah, now I'm ready to sing
42
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:31,538
I've been searching my soul tonight
43
00:02:31,787 --> 00:02:35,103
I know there's so much more to life
44
00:02:35,314 --> 00:02:38,118
Now I know I can shine a light
45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,723
To find my way back home
46
00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:46,527
Oh, baby, yeah
47
00:02:46,898 --> 00:02:49,576
Oh, yeah
48
00:03:12,388 --> 00:03:14,954
First up,
the Christmas party tonight.
49
00:03:15,194 --> 00:03:18,318
Again, we've rented out the bar.
Presence is required.
50
00:03:18,561 --> 00:03:22,562
- Speaking of which, where's Nelle?
- Working on a new case. Move along.
51
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:25,329
It's always been tradition for us...
52
00:03:25,576 --> 00:03:29,543
...to sing at the Christmas party.
Anyone with a number is free to sing.
53
00:03:29,744 --> 00:03:33,745
After last year's nightmare, we've
decided to discontinue that tradition.
54
00:03:33,952 --> 00:03:35,867
- Thank God.
- What happened last year?
55
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:39,354
Ally sang. Songs must now
be cleared in advance.
56
00:03:39,564 --> 00:03:41,559
- Hey, I was good.
- Well...
57
00:03:41,808 --> 00:03:43,564
John, Nelle needs you.
58
00:03:44,093 --> 00:03:45,289
She said it's urgent.
59
00:03:50,866 --> 00:03:52,382
Excuse me?
60
00:03:52,950 --> 00:03:55,185
Mr. Claus... San...
61
00:03:55,475 --> 00:03:56,593
Kriss.
62
00:03:56,838 --> 00:03:59,517
We agreed you wouldn't dress
in the work clothes...
63
00:03:59,764 --> 00:04:03,321
Why deny what I am?
I'm no lawyer.
64
00:04:03,572 --> 00:04:05,693
Well, I used to be, and I was good...
65
00:04:05,937 --> 00:04:09,060
...but once you start admitting
vulnerability on the merits...
66
00:04:09,303 --> 00:04:10,500
...you're sunk.
67
00:04:10,746 --> 00:04:13,060
And for me to try to disguise...
68
00:04:13,311 --> 00:04:16,150
...or apologize for who or what I am...
69
00:04:16,398 --> 00:04:19,715
The thing is, you have been discharged
for being delusional.
70
00:04:19,965 --> 00:04:22,438
If we walk in
with you dressed like this...
71
00:04:22,651 --> 00:04:25,729
...the judge will think
you are, in fact, delusional.
72
00:04:25,978 --> 00:04:28,780
It may be his shortsightedness,
but he'll rule from it.
73
00:04:29,023 --> 00:04:32,146
As your lawyer, I want you
to adhere to courtroom decorum.
74
00:04:32,390 --> 00:04:34,065
Put on a coat and tie.
75
00:04:34,755 --> 00:04:37,479
Wait outside, Dad.
I'll be right with you.
76
00:04:43,773 --> 00:04:45,814
Are you sure it isn't Alzheimer's?
77
00:04:46,058 --> 00:04:50,503
The doctors say it isn't. It's just
some kind of weird schizophrenia...
78
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:52,702
It happened last Christmas too.
79
00:04:52,951 --> 00:04:55,630
- We'll need his doctor to testify.
- He's ready.
80
00:04:55,877 --> 00:04:58,636
Nelle, are you doing him
any favor here by...
81
00:04:58,884 --> 00:05:00,764
He happens to be a great teacher.
82
00:05:01,008 --> 00:05:04,564
And it's the only thing
since my stepmother died.
83
00:05:04,816 --> 00:05:06,856
Teaching is all he lives for.
84
00:05:07,101 --> 00:05:10,656
- He doesn't live for you?
- Yes, but...
85
00:05:10,907 --> 00:05:14,544
...the truth is, he's probably
closer to his 2nd graders...
86
00:05:14,795 --> 00:05:16,756
...than to me.
87
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,363
He really thinks he's Santa Claus?
88
00:05:23,012 --> 00:05:25,008
Apparently so.
89
00:05:25,578 --> 00:05:27,377
You said I should decorate.
90
00:05:27,581 --> 00:05:30,465
I did. But this is slightly...
91
00:05:31,349 --> 00:05:32,545
...much.
92
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,193
Wait, you have to see it.
93
00:05:49,144 --> 00:05:50,341
Okay?
94
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,505
Now, you...
95
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:54,427
...right...
96
00:05:57,241 --> 00:05:58,643
...here.
97
00:06:02,211 --> 00:06:04,366
- Perfect.
- What are you doing?
98
00:06:08,383 --> 00:06:11,187
Now, that's the great one.
99
00:06:14,476 --> 00:06:15,672
Look up.
100
00:06:21,731 --> 00:06:24,968
I suppose this would be
where you kiss me?
101
00:06:25,217 --> 00:06:27,690
Obviously this
has happened to you before.
102
00:06:31,109 --> 00:06:32,910
This would be...
103
00:06:33,394 --> 00:06:34,910
...where I kiss you.
104
00:06:44,416 --> 00:06:45,612
Hi, Larry.
105
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:47,897
Jamie!
106
00:06:54,837 --> 00:06:56,513
This is your office?
107
00:06:58,765 --> 00:07:01,204
Ally, Jamie. Jamie, Ally.
108
00:07:01,451 --> 00:07:02,807
- Hello.
- Hello.
109
00:07:03,575 --> 00:07:05,569
Jamie is...
110
00:07:06,661 --> 00:07:08,382
...an old girlfriend.
111
00:07:08,585 --> 00:07:09,906
Ally would be the new one.
112
00:07:13,395 --> 00:07:14,990
- Hey.
- Hi.
113
00:07:15,238 --> 00:07:17,313
- Nice to see you.
- Hi.
114
00:07:19,848 --> 00:07:21,604
- What brings you?
- Business.
115
00:07:21,852 --> 00:07:24,324
I'm in a deposition.
I fly out tonight.
116
00:07:25,619 --> 00:07:27,659
I just thought I'd surprise you.
117
00:07:27,904 --> 00:07:29,499
Seems I accomplished that.
118
00:07:29,747 --> 00:07:32,107
- You're from out of town?
- Detroit.
119
00:07:32,313 --> 00:07:36,234
Well, must be really cold in...
120
00:07:37,002 --> 00:07:38,644
...Detroit.
121
00:07:39,528 --> 00:07:41,602
- So you must be...
- Sam's mom.
122
00:07:41,812 --> 00:07:45,174
- I've heard a lot about you.
- I've heard a lot about you too.
123
00:07:45,419 --> 00:07:47,653
- You have?
- He loves you.
124
00:07:47,864 --> 00:07:48,981
Jamie!
125
00:07:49,187 --> 00:07:52,504
- You haven't told her?
- I was gonna let you break it.
126
00:07:52,714 --> 00:07:53,831
Sorry.
127
00:07:54,357 --> 00:07:56,113
Do you have time for coffee?
128
00:07:56,361 --> 00:07:57,683
- No. I mean...
- Well...
129
00:07:57,925 --> 00:07:59,806
You guys go and catch up.
130
00:08:00,049 --> 00:08:02,693
I have to get back anyway and...
131
00:08:03,615 --> 00:08:05,690
- I'll see you tonight.
- Absolutely.
132
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:07,097
Bye.
133
00:08:08,185 --> 00:08:10,225
It was really nice to meet you.
134
00:08:10,470 --> 00:08:11,541
You too.
135
00:08:12,273 --> 00:08:13,709
Okay.
136
00:08:14,358 --> 00:08:16,512
- Bye.
- Bye.
137
00:08:17,484 --> 00:08:18,521
- Okay.
- Okay.
138
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:20,169
- Bye.
- Bye.
139
00:08:22,093 --> 00:08:23,529
Okay.
140
00:08:32,153 --> 00:08:34,957
- She seems really sweet.
- Yeah, she is.
141
00:08:35,921 --> 00:08:37,563
So you're happy?
142
00:08:38,928 --> 00:08:41,001
- You left them there?
- What could I do?
143
00:08:41,251 --> 00:08:44,330
Put that bitch back on a plane
to Detroit, that's what.
144
00:08:44,739 --> 00:08:45,776
Renee.
145
00:08:46,021 --> 00:08:48,016
You don't leave exes in the same room.
146
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:50,705
- Why was she even there?
- She's here on business.
147
00:08:50,951 --> 00:08:52,992
- What does she look like?
- She's...
148
00:08:54,238 --> 00:08:55,754
...really beautiful.
149
00:08:59,088 --> 00:09:01,208
- I'm going over there.
- Renee!
150
00:09:01,412 --> 00:09:02,734
Listen to me.
151
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:07,023
Nothing's hotter than making love
to someone you're not supposed to.
152
00:09:07,224 --> 00:09:09,697
Ex-boyfriends. Ex-girlfriends.
153
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:13,028
Especially from out of town.
Especially around the holidays.
154
00:09:13,236 --> 00:09:15,151
You still got a window.
155
00:09:15,401 --> 00:09:18,240
He can say it was before
you and he got serious.
156
00:09:18,447 --> 00:09:21,570
He can say it was before
you and he slept together.
157
00:09:21,813 --> 00:09:23,044
I know men.
158
00:09:23,376 --> 00:09:25,531
Why do you think I'm not with one?
159
00:09:27,745 --> 00:09:30,470
She is in town on business.
160
00:09:30,671 --> 00:09:32,746
She dropped over to say hello.
161
00:09:32,996 --> 00:09:34,956
You will not go there.
162
00:09:35,161 --> 00:09:37,201
What if he goes there?
163
00:09:39,168 --> 00:09:41,323
Even if he were
adjudicated as delusional...
164
00:09:41,573 --> 00:09:45,290
...there's no evidence it interferes
with his ability to work.
165
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:47,416
He thinks he's Santa Claus.
166
00:09:47,666 --> 00:09:51,143
Maybe it's better for teachers
to think they're Santa...
167
00:09:51,393 --> 00:09:52,511
...than Joan Crawford.
168
00:09:52,716 --> 00:09:53,707
"The" Santa Claus?
169
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:57,555
If I think I'm Barry White, it doesn't
make me a less capable attorney.
170
00:09:58,207 --> 00:10:01,729
We entrust him with our children.
A school is responsible...
171
00:10:01,974 --> 00:10:06,660
If he is detrimental to the students,
that's one thing. But he is not.
172
00:10:06,904 --> 00:10:09,470
- The one from the North Pole?
- Yeah, the one...
173
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,146
Do you know of another?
174
00:10:11,354 --> 00:10:14,272
I'm not a judge
you can get snappish with.
175
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,075
If he were the Easter Bunny, I admit,
it might be a problem. But...
176
00:10:18,287 --> 00:10:19,085
Mr. Cage!
177
00:10:19,289 --> 00:10:21,762
At minimum, I insist
on an evidentiary hearing...
178
00:10:22,015 --> 00:10:26,495
...to see if he poses a risk
before you snatch away his livelihood.
179
00:10:26,744 --> 00:10:29,058
Look, if the man is so delusional...
180
00:10:29,310 --> 00:10:31,670
One lousy hearing.
He'll bring you a toy.
181
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,356
Two o'clock.
182
00:10:52,276 --> 00:10:53,998
- John!
- Ally, hi.
183
00:10:54,641 --> 00:10:56,123
- This is...
- My father.
184
00:10:56,365 --> 00:10:57,959
Daddy, Ally McBeal.
185
00:10:58,207 --> 00:11:00,282
There's something in the store window.
186
00:11:00,532 --> 00:11:01,968
Tell me if you like it.
187
00:11:02,937 --> 00:11:05,456
- What was that about?
- Oh, it's...
188
00:11:05,663 --> 00:11:07,943
- Where are you headed?
- Over to Larry's.
189
00:11:08,188 --> 00:11:11,471
But I keep turning back and...
190
00:11:12,076 --> 00:11:13,273
What's wrong?
191
00:11:13,479 --> 00:11:15,394
Oh, nothing, really.
192
00:11:15,644 --> 00:11:18,481
His ex-girlfriend's there.
She's in town for a day.
193
00:11:18,689 --> 00:11:19,726
Big deal. Right?
194
00:11:19,971 --> 00:11:23,733
They're old news, so I should be cool.
Mother of his child. So what?
195
00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:26,780
She's in town for one day
and they're alone?
196
00:11:27,026 --> 00:11:28,097
Yes.
197
00:11:28,549 --> 00:11:29,951
I'm sure it's fine.
198
00:11:30,193 --> 00:11:33,316
- Obviously you're not sure.
- I can't speak to this.
199
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,557
I don't know the depth
of your relationship.
200
00:11:36,805 --> 00:11:38,720
Are you serious, you and Larry?
201
00:11:39,811 --> 00:11:41,008
Very.
202
00:11:41,214 --> 00:11:44,132
Without prying,
have you been biblical?
203
00:11:44,341 --> 00:11:45,936
Why is that so important?
204
00:11:46,145 --> 00:11:48,424
Can't we be serious
without the damn Bible?
205
00:11:50,113 --> 00:11:51,674
I'm sure it's innocent.
206
00:11:51,916 --> 00:11:52,908
Never mind.
207
00:11:55,242 --> 00:12:00,202
Should old acquaintance be forgot
208
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:02,014
And...
209
00:12:09,311 --> 00:12:10,794
Sing? You and me?
210
00:12:11,035 --> 00:12:14,717
I'm tired of everyone else performing
with no attention coming to us.
211
00:12:14,962 --> 00:12:17,721
- Coffee bean, we have no talent.
- So what?
212
00:12:17,968 --> 00:12:21,810
When you see performers on TV, they're
lip-synching. We could do that.
213
00:12:22,057 --> 00:12:25,021
- I don't know.
- You're senior partner, I'm first lady.
214
00:12:25,223 --> 00:12:26,659
We should hog spotlight.
215
00:12:26,907 --> 00:12:30,350
It has nothing to do with rebound.
I like your company.
216
00:12:30,594 --> 00:12:32,908
It's a party.
I'd like you to be my date.
217
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,242
You'll be ashamed to be seen
with me and my promiscuity.
218
00:12:36,446 --> 00:12:37,722
I won't, okay?
219
00:12:37,969 --> 00:12:40,442
- What if I wear my Vi-Bra?
- Were you planning to?
220
00:12:41,376 --> 00:12:44,454
I have made a few holiday adjustments.
221
00:12:51,797 --> 00:12:53,392
Knock, knock.
222
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,079
Larry. Hey.
223
00:13:00,334 --> 00:13:02,090
Was it weird?
224
00:13:03,060 --> 00:13:05,100
Oh, well...
225
00:13:06,146 --> 00:13:08,186
- Was it for you?
- A little.
226
00:13:08,391 --> 00:13:11,389
Thanks for being a good sport.
You were very kind.
227
00:13:11,597 --> 00:13:13,318
Well, she seemed nice.
228
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:14,962
She is.
229
00:13:15,204 --> 00:13:17,119
Listen, she's...
230
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:22,537
...got a flight out tonight
at midnight.
231
00:13:22,779 --> 00:13:25,424
I said it would be okay
if she came to the party.
232
00:13:27,950 --> 00:13:29,306
Is it okay?
233
00:13:34,483 --> 00:13:35,679
Sure.
234
00:13:36,206 --> 00:13:38,166
I didn't know how to say no.
235
00:13:38,611 --> 00:13:41,849
But if you're uncomfortable, I will.
She'll understand.
236
00:13:42,098 --> 00:13:44,378
No, it's okay.
237
00:13:44,904 --> 00:13:46,899
Just, no dancing with her.
238
00:13:47,149 --> 00:13:48,585
Deal.
239
00:13:49,594 --> 00:13:52,910
She's not here because she heard
you had a new girlfriend...
240
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,836
...and became jealous?
241
00:13:55,084 --> 00:13:58,163
She dumped me.
I don't think she'd be jealous.
242
00:14:01,257 --> 00:14:03,411
Not the answer you were looking for.
243
00:14:06,949 --> 00:14:09,548
Let me repeat,
he's been a wonderful teacher.
244
00:14:09,754 --> 00:14:12,911
The kids love him.
We all adore him, but he's delusional.
245
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,244
Should I wait until something
tragic happens to remove him?
246
00:14:16,487 --> 00:14:18,926
Afraid he'll run his sleigh
through a red light?
247
00:14:19,173 --> 00:14:22,775
I have a responsibility to make sure
my teachers are stable.
248
00:14:23,021 --> 00:14:25,860
Assuming arguendo that any of us
are truly stable...
249
00:14:26,107 --> 00:14:28,262
...has he exhibited behavior
indicating...?
250
00:14:28,512 --> 00:14:32,114
- He thinks he's Santa!
- I don't mean who he is.
251
00:14:32,359 --> 00:14:36,076
No. There have been no incidents yet.
252
00:14:36,648 --> 00:14:38,483
Thank you, Mr. Gilda.
253
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:52,630
It's difficult enough to prevail
without choo-choo trains.
254
00:14:52,881 --> 00:14:54,442
Are you trying to lose?
255
00:14:54,684 --> 00:14:57,922
I thought the more we keep
the Christmas spirit alive...
256
00:14:58,131 --> 00:14:59,727
...the better our chances.
257
00:14:59,975 --> 00:15:02,335
This is a court of law.
That is a judge.
258
00:15:02,581 --> 00:15:06,981
The spirit of Christmas does not live
in that room. What we need is sanity.
259
00:15:07,190 --> 00:15:08,990
We need you to seem reasonable.
260
00:15:09,233 --> 00:15:11,148
Can you be reasonable...?
261
00:15:13,442 --> 00:15:14,958
Listen to me.
262
00:15:15,847 --> 00:15:17,968
He thinks he's Santa Claus.
263
00:15:18,453 --> 00:15:19,774
Mr. Porter...
264
00:15:20,016 --> 00:15:23,618
...if this is a game,
it's time to call it off.
265
00:15:23,864 --> 00:15:27,181
It's not a game. Though
the diagnosis doesn't exactly fit...
266
00:15:27,431 --> 00:15:30,588
...his condition resembles
the disorder schizophreniform.
267
00:15:30,837 --> 00:15:32,193
What is that, doctor?
268
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,607
It's similar to schizophrenia, except
the duration can be much shorter.
269
00:15:36,850 --> 00:15:39,814
He suffered some delusional
problems a year ago.
270
00:15:40,016 --> 00:15:41,213
Then they went away.
271
00:15:41,419 --> 00:15:45,660
It's possible he could be having some
depression triggered by the holidays.
272
00:15:45,908 --> 00:15:47,708
His wife died two years ago.
273
00:15:47,911 --> 00:15:50,556
Mr. Porter is otherwise
a functional person?
274
00:15:50,797 --> 00:15:52,519
- Totally.
- Now, doctor...
275
00:15:52,761 --> 00:15:55,840
...has this disorder caused him
to behave in any way...
276
00:15:56,048 --> 00:15:58,248
...that you consider
harmful to children?
277
00:15:58,453 --> 00:16:00,926
No. In fact,
the symptoms seem to be...
278
00:16:01,179 --> 00:16:05,066
...generosity, charity, kindness.
And he's more loving.
279
00:16:05,307 --> 00:16:08,943
But this schizophreniform
is a very inexact disorder, isn't it?
280
00:16:09,194 --> 00:16:10,471
Yes.
281
00:16:10,718 --> 00:16:13,955
- Difficult to even predict behavior?
- I guess, but...
282
00:16:14,205 --> 00:16:18,092
In fact there's little information
on the course of this disorder.
283
00:16:18,293 --> 00:16:21,770
Objection! Counsel's questions
are designed to derive responses...
284
00:16:22,021 --> 00:16:24,825
...that inure to the detriment
of my client's case.
285
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:27,301
It's really inappropriate...
286
00:16:27,712 --> 00:16:29,353
Yes. Withdrawn.
287
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:33,922
Doctor, you said he suffered
delusions last Christmas as well?
288
00:16:34,125 --> 00:16:36,360
Yes, but they were
much less pronounced.
289
00:16:36,610 --> 00:16:38,730
He said he would have waves...
290
00:16:38,975 --> 00:16:41,448
...where he thought
he was Santa Claus.
291
00:16:41,701 --> 00:16:45,017
But the episodes lasted
10, 15 seconds at most.
292
00:16:45,228 --> 00:16:47,746
- It's getting worse?
- Perhaps.
293
00:16:47,993 --> 00:16:50,592
Has he suffered any other delusions?
294
00:16:53,404 --> 00:16:56,368
One day in July...
295
00:16:57,132 --> 00:16:59,366
...he thought he was Alvin.
296
00:16:59,617 --> 00:17:02,740
- Alvin?
- The chipmunk.
297
00:17:08,714 --> 00:17:10,390
- It's a disaster.
- It is?
298
00:17:10,638 --> 00:17:14,161
Renee's right. Nothing's more
appetizing than an old girlfriend.
299
00:17:14,927 --> 00:17:17,082
Look, I trust Larry, all right?
300
00:17:17,332 --> 00:17:20,695
And if I didn't trust him, why
would I want to be with him?
301
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:21,897
I'm not jealous.
302
00:17:23,545 --> 00:17:24,502
Oh, Ally...
303
00:17:25,709 --> 00:17:27,064
Jamie.
304
00:17:28,595 --> 00:17:29,825
What?
305
00:17:30,318 --> 00:17:31,640
Hi!
306
00:17:32,042 --> 00:17:34,276
Ling, Jamie. Jamie, Ling.
307
00:17:37,212 --> 00:17:38,203
Hi.
308
00:17:39,617 --> 00:17:41,133
Have you got a second?
309
00:17:41,381 --> 00:17:44,344
Sure. Ling was just...
310
00:17:44,547 --> 00:17:46,462
...she was just leaving.
311
00:17:51,561 --> 00:17:52,678
She's just...
312
00:17:52,924 --> 00:17:55,044
I won't take much of your time.
313
00:17:55,249 --> 00:17:58,167
Larry invited me to your party
out of courtesy.
314
00:17:58,415 --> 00:18:00,216
He said it was okay with you...
315
00:18:00,459 --> 00:18:03,537
...but I thought I'd better check.
Is it all right?
316
00:18:04,186 --> 00:18:05,588
Sure.
317
00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:07,710
It'll be fun.
318
00:18:07,994 --> 00:18:10,433
Seriously, if it's at all awkward...
319
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,046
No. It'll be really nice
to get to know the...
320
00:18:17,694 --> 00:18:19,416
...mother of his child.
321
00:18:19,658 --> 00:18:22,337
- You think you two will get married?
- What?
322
00:18:22,584 --> 00:18:25,022
No. Well, I mean...
323
00:18:25,269 --> 00:18:28,586
No, we just... We just
sort of started, you know...
324
00:18:28,836 --> 00:18:31,116
- Sleeping together?
- No, we...
325
00:18:32,283 --> 00:18:35,760
I think it'll be okay if you come
to the party. It'll be great.
326
00:18:35,971 --> 00:18:37,122
- It's insane.
- Ally.
327
00:18:37,414 --> 00:18:41,016
Old girlfriends don't pop in only
to be invited to Christmas parties.
328
00:18:41,262 --> 00:18:43,495
She was asking
if we were getting married.
329
00:18:43,746 --> 00:18:45,262
That's pretty personal.
330
00:18:45,510 --> 00:18:49,831
I think her agenda is to get you back.
Which is fine. She has that right.
331
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:53,157
I've tried to steal a few back.
I know the game.
332
00:18:53,366 --> 00:18:56,604
But I'd be an idiot to welcome her
into my playing field.
333
00:18:56,893 --> 00:18:58,933
And she is cute, with a good figure.
334
00:18:59,178 --> 00:19:02,220
How many women have a baby
then still have a body like that?
335
00:19:02,464 --> 00:19:05,063
You don't, unless you have a mission.
336
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:08,034
If her mission is you,
she won't succeed at my party.
337
00:19:08,236 --> 00:19:11,120
- Ally.
- And she is really, really sweet.
338
00:19:11,362 --> 00:19:15,683
Which actually threatens me
most of all, because I know I'm not.
339
00:19:18,136 --> 00:19:20,575
I'll call Jamie and tell her
not to come.
340
00:19:21,863 --> 00:19:23,744
You have her number?
341
00:19:24,468 --> 00:19:26,269
She left me her cell.
342
00:19:26,593 --> 00:19:27,869
No.
343
00:19:28,076 --> 00:19:30,310
I'd feel foolish.
I'm okay with her coming.
344
00:19:30,521 --> 00:19:31,957
Ally.
345
00:19:32,164 --> 00:19:36,085
No, she should be there.
It wouldn't be the same without her.
346
00:19:37,776 --> 00:19:39,292
Just...
347
00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:42,100
...stay close to me.
348
00:19:42,985 --> 00:19:47,146
We just have your testimony, some
brief statements, then he'll rule.
349
00:19:47,395 --> 00:19:49,390
The judge says we can finish tonight.
350
00:19:49,639 --> 00:19:51,520
Let's just do it then.
351
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:54,165
Likely to miss the Christmas party.
352
00:19:54,409 --> 00:19:56,723
- Do you mind?
- I don't if you don't.
353
00:19:56,974 --> 00:19:59,334
I don't exactly feel like celebrating.
354
00:20:01,102 --> 00:20:02,937
Mr. Claus?
355
00:20:03,186 --> 00:20:04,383
Please, John.
356
00:20:04,629 --> 00:20:06,385
I asked you to call me Kriss.
357
00:20:06,633 --> 00:20:08,149
Yes.
358
00:20:08,557 --> 00:20:12,000
In preparation for your testimony,
just a couple of questions.
359
00:20:12,245 --> 00:20:13,886
It's December 11 th.
360
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:16,807
Have you started making toys?
361
00:20:17,215 --> 00:20:19,779
Are you nuts? I'm retired.
362
00:20:21,182 --> 00:20:23,576
Who makes all the presents?
363
00:20:23,828 --> 00:20:25,469
Toys "R" Us.
364
00:20:25,712 --> 00:20:29,268
Parents buy them now. They also
take care of the distribution.
365
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,362
I have been basically pushed
into a forced retirement.
366
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:36,485
So you don't really count anymore?
367
00:20:36,975 --> 00:20:39,209
Of course I count.
368
00:20:39,419 --> 00:20:41,619
I'm something to believe in.
369
00:20:41,864 --> 00:20:43,506
Flying reindeer.
370
00:20:43,748 --> 00:20:46,507
Stockings stuffed on the mantlepiece.
371
00:20:46,834 --> 00:20:50,551
The magic of Christmas.
The fantasy of it. Of course I count.
372
00:20:50,803 --> 00:20:55,009
These times,
they need me more than ever.
373
00:21:11,164 --> 00:21:14,607
Turn back, O man
374
00:21:14,851 --> 00:21:19,297
Foreswear thy foolish ways
375
00:21:19,981 --> 00:21:25,544
Old now is Earth
And none may count her days
376
00:21:26,274 --> 00:21:28,474
Da, da, da, da, da
377
00:21:30,763 --> 00:21:33,522
- The woman is all sex, isn't she?
- And more.
378
00:21:33,729 --> 00:21:35,051
It's from Godspell.
379
00:21:35,253 --> 00:21:37,292
Remember when we did Godspell
in college?
380
00:21:38,739 --> 00:21:40,221
We did Godspell in college.
381
00:21:40,943 --> 00:21:42,174
Ah. Uh-huh.
382
00:21:42,547 --> 00:21:46,468
He was Jesus, which I'd call him
at home too, after the Second Coming.
383
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:49,476
Love her.
384
00:21:49,721 --> 00:21:51,077
Jamie?
385
00:21:52,327 --> 00:21:53,318
Oh.
386
00:21:53,569 --> 00:21:55,690
God, I forgot. Sorry.
387
00:21:58,899 --> 00:22:03,425
Forswear thy foolish ways
388
00:22:05,152 --> 00:22:07,877
- Would you state your name?
- Santa Claus.
389
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:09,434
And where do you reside?
390
00:22:09,642 --> 00:22:11,124
Wellesley, Massachusetts.
391
00:22:12,047 --> 00:22:13,038
Are you employed?
392
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:17,169
I'm not. And that's what
this whole business is about.
393
00:22:17,417 --> 00:22:19,571
I was a teacher until they fired me.
394
00:22:19,782 --> 00:22:22,700
- And before you were a teacher?
- I was a lawyer.
395
00:22:22,908 --> 00:22:25,268
And while you were
a practicing attorney...
396
00:22:25,513 --> 00:22:29,879
...you still had time to make presents
for children all over the world?
397
00:22:30,083 --> 00:22:31,485
That's correct.
398
00:22:31,686 --> 00:22:34,924
- When did you find time to do that?
- In my sleep.
399
00:22:35,133 --> 00:22:36,363
In your sleep?
400
00:22:36,615 --> 00:22:38,736
I know it sounds fantastical.
401
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:41,983
But that's exactly what it was.
402
00:22:42,227 --> 00:22:45,431
I'd be transported in my sleep
to another world.
403
00:22:45,674 --> 00:22:49,801
A world with elves and workshops...
404
00:22:50,043 --> 00:22:51,604
...and reindeer.
405
00:22:51,847 --> 00:22:54,525
It was not in this reality.
406
00:22:54,772 --> 00:22:58,135
But one night every year
on Christmas Eve...
407
00:22:59,341 --> 00:23:02,819
...the two worlds would meet,
and I would give the toys...
408
00:23:03,029 --> 00:23:06,426
...I'd made in that world
to children who lived in this one.
409
00:23:07,518 --> 00:23:12,443
Teaching, you're in this world?
Oh, very much so.
410
00:23:12,849 --> 00:23:15,573
This other world, this magical one...
411
00:23:16,095 --> 00:23:18,055
...you go to that one in your sleep?
412
00:23:19,141 --> 00:23:23,062
Not so much anymore. I'm retired.
413
00:23:26,717 --> 00:23:30,239
- You tell 2nd graders you're Santa?
- I do.
414
00:23:30,445 --> 00:23:32,519
How do they respond?
415
00:23:33,370 --> 00:23:35,889
Mostly they ask for toys.
416
00:23:36,095 --> 00:23:39,778
As Santa, you have to keep
track of kids all over the world?
417
00:23:39,983 --> 00:23:41,214
That's correct.
418
00:23:41,426 --> 00:23:43,992
- Do I have children?
- You have to ask?
419
00:23:44,793 --> 00:23:48,841
I'm asking you, sir, because as
Santa, I'd expect you to know.
420
00:23:49,122 --> 00:23:50,194
Do I have children?
421
00:23:50,525 --> 00:23:51,516
Yes.
422
00:23:51,728 --> 00:23:53,642
- How many?
- Three.
423
00:23:54,092 --> 00:23:56,451
Sorry. I have four.
424
00:23:59,864 --> 00:24:01,585
I was forgetting the baby.
425
00:24:02,509 --> 00:24:05,552
I remembered Tommy, Wayne and Sarah.
426
00:24:05,756 --> 00:24:09,996
And I forgot the baby. With a name
like Nicholas, I should remember.
427
00:24:11,167 --> 00:24:13,970
Well, that's why
it's best that I retired.
428
00:24:16,457 --> 00:24:17,653
Uh, okay.
429
00:24:18,341 --> 00:24:20,495
What do they want for Christmas?
430
00:24:20,706 --> 00:24:22,107
The list is endless.
431
00:24:22,309 --> 00:24:24,429
And pretty diverse.
432
00:24:25,115 --> 00:24:29,960
- Tell me one thing they want.
- To spend more time with their father.
433
00:24:33,611 --> 00:24:36,336
Mr. Claus, do I have children?
434
00:24:37,459 --> 00:24:39,819
One, Your Honor. A teenager.
435
00:24:40,906 --> 00:24:42,262
He doesn't like you.
436
00:24:44,674 --> 00:24:47,672
Obviously he went out and
looked up our bios.
437
00:24:49,444 --> 00:24:51,643
- Or this is a trick.
- I object!
438
00:24:51,848 --> 00:24:54,242
Accusations of chicanery
in court are serious.
439
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,059
- I demand to be mollified.
- Withdrawn.
440
00:24:57,379 --> 00:24:58,177
Mr. Porter.
441
00:24:58,702 --> 00:25:01,506
When students ask what day it is,
what do you say?
442
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:04,102
- I tell them it's Christmas.
- Every day?
443
00:25:04,314 --> 00:25:05,465
Every day.
444
00:25:05,677 --> 00:25:09,199
And is it Christmas today, sir,
or December 11 th?
445
00:25:09,404 --> 00:25:10,600
Well, that depends.
446
00:25:10,806 --> 00:25:11,684
On what?
447
00:25:12,169 --> 00:25:15,486
Well, on whether you consider
the needs of children.
448
00:25:15,977 --> 00:25:21,015
Or whether you remember the weakness
and loneliness of people growing old.
449
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:25,549
Or whether you can stop asking how
much your friends love you...
450
00:25:25,757 --> 00:25:28,322
...and ask whether
you love them enough.
451
00:25:29,324 --> 00:25:32,127
Then you may keep Christmas...
452
00:25:32,370 --> 00:25:34,524
...every day.
453
00:25:40,907 --> 00:25:45,593
Rockin ' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
454
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:52,249
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
455
00:25:53,372 --> 00:25:58,457
Rockin ' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
456
00:25:59,345 --> 00:26:00,621
She's pretty good.
457
00:26:00,868 --> 00:26:02,384
Well, she studied dance, so...
458
00:26:03,072 --> 00:26:05,147
I meant Elaine.
459
00:26:05,597 --> 00:26:06,999
Oh, yeah, she is good.
460
00:26:10,567 --> 00:26:12,801
- You okay?
- Me?
461
00:26:13,413 --> 00:26:14,815
Sure.
462
00:26:19,185 --> 00:26:24,394
Rockin ' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
463
00:26:25,718 --> 00:26:28,077
It's a mistake to
follow this kind of talent.
464
00:26:28,322 --> 00:26:30,888
Richard, we're good.
You've heard us.
465
00:26:31,128 --> 00:26:32,280
Ling, that wasn't us.
466
00:26:32,531 --> 00:26:36,452
It's our lips. If we sync them
perfectly, nobody'll know it's not us.
467
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:39,778
I think they'll suspect.
Look at her, she's good.
468
00:26:39,987 --> 00:26:43,908
Jingle bells, jingle all the way
469
00:26:50,968 --> 00:26:52,199
Come on, Santa.
470
00:26:52,451 --> 00:26:54,765
I was a good girl this year.
471
00:26:55,017 --> 00:26:56,578
You know that's right.
472
00:27:04,677 --> 00:27:06,272
It's about me.
473
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,077
Excuse me?
474
00:27:08,283 --> 00:27:12,808
My favorite character when I was
a little girl was Alvin.
475
00:27:13,013 --> 00:27:15,133
My birthday's in July.
476
00:27:15,338 --> 00:27:18,336
One time we had
Alvin and the Chipmunks.
477
00:27:19,627 --> 00:27:21,188
When my parents split up...
478
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:26,190
...the final straw, my father
had to be away on Christmas.
479
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,563
I cried and cried.
480
00:27:29,766 --> 00:27:33,004
When he got home,
my mother laid into him...
481
00:27:33,254 --> 00:27:34,770
...and they were separated
by New Year's.
482
00:27:34,977 --> 00:27:38,294
And that has something to do
with him thinking he's Santa?
483
00:27:38,505 --> 00:27:41,662
Well, you know,
Santa's everything to a kid.
484
00:27:42,393 --> 00:27:44,912
It could be a delusion that...
485
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,397
I don't know.
486
00:27:47,602 --> 00:27:51,729
Well, maybe it's fixable.
Maybe you two can have a relationship.
487
00:27:51,971 --> 00:27:54,206
I wouldn't even know
how to talk to him.
488
00:27:54,657 --> 00:27:58,818
The last time we had a real
conversation, I was...
489
00:28:00,028 --> 00:28:02,068
...7 years old. The day he left.
490
00:28:04,477 --> 00:28:07,759
In his testimony, he quoted
a poem by Henry Van Dyke.
491
00:28:07,963 --> 00:28:08,875
What?
492
00:28:09,126 --> 00:28:13,447
When he said through loving people,
you could keep Christmas every day.
493
00:28:14,297 --> 00:28:17,215
That's from one of my favorite poems.
Henry Van Dyke.
494
00:28:17,824 --> 00:28:22,065
If you can keep it for a day,
why not always?
495
00:28:22,473 --> 00:28:23,990
Left out the last line, though.
496
00:28:24,958 --> 00:28:25,949
Which was?
497
00:28:26,962 --> 00:28:29,606
You can never keep it alone.
498
00:28:32,052 --> 00:28:34,697
Hey, hey, Paula
499
00:28:35,900 --> 00:28:38,294
I wanna marry you
500
00:28:38,546 --> 00:28:41,111
Hey, hey, Paula
501
00:28:42,073 --> 00:28:44,956
No one else could ever do
502
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,521
Is he kidding?
503
00:28:48,165 --> 00:28:49,647
I'm not sure.
504
00:28:49,888 --> 00:28:52,043
They've got to be kidding.
505
00:28:52,293 --> 00:28:54,333
I don't know.
506
00:28:55,019 --> 00:28:57,014
- For you
507
00:28:57,303 --> 00:28:59,948
Hey, Paul
508
00:29:00,590 --> 00:29:05,799
I've been waiting for you
Hey, hey, hey, Paul
509
00:29:06,802 --> 00:29:09,880
I want to marry you too
510
00:29:17,544 --> 00:29:18,980
Hey.
511
00:29:19,468 --> 00:29:20,586
Need some help?
512
00:29:20,791 --> 00:29:23,994
No. Maybe, yeah.
513
00:29:24,758 --> 00:29:26,274
So?
514
00:29:26,482 --> 00:29:27,804
So...
515
00:29:28,005 --> 00:29:29,407
You okay?
516
00:29:31,893 --> 00:29:35,210
Well, I suppose I've been better.
517
00:29:36,382 --> 00:29:37,534
When I was with you.
518
00:29:41,994 --> 00:29:44,832
I lied. There was no deposition.
519
00:29:47,484 --> 00:29:48,920
I want to be a family again.
520
00:29:49,208 --> 00:29:50,199
Jamie.
521
00:29:50,410 --> 00:29:54,492
I've been reading about what breakups
do to kids long-term.
522
00:29:54,739 --> 00:29:56,734
Sam seems okay...
523
00:29:56,944 --> 00:29:58,460
...but what if he's not?
524
00:29:59,509 --> 00:30:01,344
I think we should try again.
525
00:30:02,073 --> 00:30:03,191
For Sam's sake?
526
00:30:03,917 --> 00:30:04,988
And mine.
527
00:30:07,605 --> 00:30:09,804
I still love you.
528
00:30:10,050 --> 00:30:11,931
And I know you still love me.
529
00:30:14,900 --> 00:30:21,226
True love means
Planning a life for two
530
00:30:50,371 --> 00:30:54,658
You can count on me
531
00:30:58,668 --> 00:31:03,432
There'll be snow and mistletoe
532
00:31:04,439 --> 00:31:06,035
Do you think this is fair?
533
00:31:06,243 --> 00:31:07,394
No.
534
00:31:07,646 --> 00:31:09,800
I was on my way to work.
535
00:31:10,011 --> 00:31:13,533
I saw the airport, and next thing
I know I'm boarding a plane.
536
00:31:13,779 --> 00:31:17,415
Jamie, you and I were great
in situations like this.
537
00:31:17,627 --> 00:31:20,020
- In a bar, or...
- In bed.
538
00:31:22,275 --> 00:31:24,875
But we weren't compatible
in any other...
539
00:31:25,081 --> 00:31:26,803
I wasn't jealous when you got married.
540
00:31:27,326 --> 00:31:29,639
I was nothing but happy for you.
541
00:31:30,853 --> 00:31:32,255
Then...
542
00:31:32,857 --> 00:31:34,897
...last week when you spoke of her...
543
00:31:35,222 --> 00:31:37,866
...and this morning in the office
when I saw her.
544
00:31:38,708 --> 00:31:41,467
There's something different
about Ally, isn't there?
545
00:31:42,155 --> 00:31:44,390
I knew. I could sense...
546
00:31:44,961 --> 00:31:47,081
...I'd be losing you forever.
547
00:31:48,288 --> 00:31:49,929
That's why I got on the plane.
548
00:31:50,613 --> 00:31:53,417
Oh, I'm sorry.
I couldn't help but overhear.
549
00:31:53,659 --> 00:31:55,175
Were you talking about Ally?
550
00:31:55,383 --> 00:31:56,420
What do you want?
551
00:31:56,906 --> 00:31:58,979
I just thought
you might want to know she left.
552
00:31:59,510 --> 00:32:02,907
She went upstairs.
She said she'd be back, but I wonder.
553
00:32:03,759 --> 00:32:06,997
Oh, by the way,
I'm not loving you as much.
554
00:32:12,457 --> 00:32:13,734
He's ill.
555
00:32:13,940 --> 00:32:16,904
The man thinks he's
a fictitious character.
556
00:32:17,107 --> 00:32:21,711
Is there any question here? He's
entrusted with the care of children.
557
00:32:21,915 --> 00:32:23,716
He has a psychological disorder.
558
00:32:24,401 --> 00:32:28,448
It's getting worse.
He's already delusional.
559
00:32:28,689 --> 00:32:30,011
Why are we debating this?
560
00:32:30,774 --> 00:32:35,574
We're debating it because
he hasn't done anything wrong.
561
00:32:36,145 --> 00:32:37,500
He's been fired...
562
00:32:37,707 --> 00:32:40,021
...because of a fear
of what he may do.
563
00:32:40,272 --> 00:32:41,310
Now, that's illegal.
564
00:32:41,515 --> 00:32:43,829
Mr. Cage,
we're dealing with children.
565
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,244
The point is, do we
want to sit back and wait?
566
00:32:47,447 --> 00:32:50,810
If tragedy were foreseeable,
the answer would be no.
567
00:32:51,015 --> 00:32:53,818
But according to Dr. Shulman,
the symptoms of this...
568
00:32:54,021 --> 00:32:59,150
..."progressive disorder," thus far
have been: Kindness, charity and love.
569
00:32:59,391 --> 00:33:02,035
Quick, hit the panic button
before it escalates.
570
00:33:02,237 --> 00:33:04,118
Come on, he thinks he's Santa Claus.
571
00:33:04,321 --> 00:33:06,442
And forgive me.
572
00:33:06,846 --> 00:33:08,647
Forgive me, Your Honor.
573
00:33:10,294 --> 00:33:12,254
But has anybody proven he isn't?
574
00:33:13,019 --> 00:33:14,010
I mean...
575
00:33:14,222 --> 00:33:17,059
...who is Santa Claus?
576
00:33:17,628 --> 00:33:20,147
There was this famous letter...
577
00:33:20,514 --> 00:33:23,592
...to the New York Sun
in 1897...
578
00:33:23,841 --> 00:33:28,081
...where an 8-year-old girl asked
the editor, "Is there a Santa Claus?
579
00:33:28,530 --> 00:33:32,167
Because all my friends
tell me it's stupid to believe. "
580
00:33:32,378 --> 00:33:34,179
And the answer she got...
581
00:33:34,382 --> 00:33:39,021
...was, "Santa Claus exists
as certainly as love...
582
00:33:39,231 --> 00:33:44,157
...and generosity and devotion exist. "
583
00:33:44,402 --> 00:33:45,439
It went on to say:
584
00:33:46,206 --> 00:33:48,725
"How could you not
believe in Santa?
585
00:33:48,971 --> 00:33:50,727
How dreary.
586
00:33:50,976 --> 00:33:54,133
You might as well
stop believing in fairies. "
587
00:33:57,348 --> 00:33:59,023
Is faith real?
588
00:34:00,354 --> 00:34:02,155
Is glory?
589
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,005
Now, what about the magic
of a newborn baby?
590
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:10,804
Is that real?
591
00:34:11,056 --> 00:34:13,780
The editor of this newspaper
said it best.
592
00:34:14,743 --> 00:34:19,382
"Of course Santa Claus lives,
and thank God he lives.
593
00:34:19,633 --> 00:34:23,954
May he live forever and ever
to make glad the heart of childhood. "
594
00:34:25,766 --> 00:34:29,607
Today he lives in the heart
of Henderson Porter.
595
00:34:30,415 --> 00:34:33,936
His only crime has been bringing
extra wonder to his students...
596
00:34:34,302 --> 00:34:36,696
...making their lives
a little more magical...
597
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:38,868
...a little more romantic.
598
00:34:41,237 --> 00:34:46,001
Now, he's caused them
to keep Christmas every single day?
599
00:34:47,890 --> 00:34:51,493
How much more of a Santa Claus
could anybody be?
600
00:35:02,279 --> 00:35:04,924
Old Mr. Kringle
Is Still gonna jingle
601
00:35:05,165 --> 00:35:08,129
The bells that'll tinkle
All your troubles away
602
00:35:08,372 --> 00:35:13,455
Everybody's waiting for the man with
the bag, 'cause Christmas is coming
603
00:35:21,518 --> 00:35:23,353
- He's gonna rule tonight?
- Eleven o'clock.
604
00:35:23,602 --> 00:35:24,593
Gave us an hour.
605
00:35:24,805 --> 00:35:26,001
What did I miss?
606
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:30,927
Larry and his ex-girlfriend got a bit
chummy. We think they left together.
607
00:35:31,138 --> 00:35:32,732
What? Where's Ally?
608
00:35:32,940 --> 00:35:35,619
She fled to her office.
Put a damper on the party.
609
00:35:35,826 --> 00:35:39,874
Can we dance? I've still got
a little adrenaline from our number.
610
00:35:40,115 --> 00:35:41,871
Well, I thought we'd have sex.
611
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:46,600
Everybody's waiting for the man with
the bag, Christmas is here again
612
00:35:57,069 --> 00:35:58,984
Catching up on a little work?
613
00:36:02,601 --> 00:36:06,807
No, you two just seemed like
you were into something, so...
614
00:36:07,691 --> 00:36:12,410
It's difficult for me to be selfish
or possessive, because...
615
00:36:12,661 --> 00:36:15,545
Well, you're co-parents.
You have a little boy together.
616
00:36:16,028 --> 00:36:17,179
Yeah.
617
00:36:17,791 --> 00:36:20,675
Is that what you two were
talking about? Parenting?
618
00:36:24,325 --> 00:36:28,086
Sort of. She wants
to be a family again.
619
00:36:29,295 --> 00:36:30,696
In part, for the sake of Sam.
620
00:36:31,378 --> 00:36:32,369
In part.
621
00:36:33,342 --> 00:36:37,868
Well, there is
a little kid to think of.
622
00:36:39,435 --> 00:36:40,472
What did you say?
623
00:36:45,087 --> 00:36:46,569
I agreed.
624
00:36:46,770 --> 00:36:49,893
If there's any way we could
work it out, we should.
625
00:36:54,425 --> 00:36:55,223
But...
626
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:59,906
...I didn't think there was
any way, since...
627
00:37:00,157 --> 00:37:03,474
...I was so totally in love
with somebody else.
628
00:37:09,014 --> 00:37:11,134
She's probably
on her way to the airport.
629
00:37:14,024 --> 00:37:18,585
I'm still capable of making mistakes,
but leaving you isn't one of them.
630
00:37:22,442 --> 00:37:24,562
I don't know what to say.
631
00:37:24,807 --> 00:37:26,961
Don't say anything.
Let's go downstairs.
632
00:37:27,212 --> 00:37:32,136
You promised I wouldn't be alone for
Christmas. You'd better make good.
633
00:37:37,993 --> 00:37:39,144
This is a tough one.
634
00:37:40,438 --> 00:37:42,239
Mr. Porter is obviously ill.
635
00:37:42,442 --> 00:37:45,406
To let a man with a mental disorder
teach 2nd graders?
636
00:37:46,010 --> 00:37:48,847
Clearly the benefit of the doubt
goes to the children.
637
00:37:50,217 --> 00:37:52,690
But I am also mindful...
638
00:37:52,903 --> 00:37:57,703
...we have a shortage of teachers
today. Especially the magical kind.
639
00:37:58,514 --> 00:38:01,273
Since there's a teacher's
aide in the room also...
640
00:38:01,521 --> 00:38:05,442
...and since he's done
nothing wrong thus far...
641
00:38:05,689 --> 00:38:09,609
...I see no basis for terminating
a teacher because he's Santa Claus.
642
00:38:11,380 --> 00:38:14,982
Petitioner's TRO is granted.
We're adjourned.
643
00:38:15,348 --> 00:38:17,343
- I don't believe it.
- Neither do I.
644
00:38:17,553 --> 00:38:20,118
- I can teach?
- You can teach, Daddy!
645
00:38:20,318 --> 00:38:21,880
Wow.
646
00:38:22,082 --> 00:38:25,479
Wow! I thank you both so much!
647
00:38:33,665 --> 00:38:35,306
Dad.
648
00:38:41,201 --> 00:38:44,199
Daddy, how about I walk you home?
649
00:38:45,009 --> 00:38:48,086
- To Wellesley?
- No, to my place.
650
00:38:48,615 --> 00:38:51,978
Spend the night. You haven't
seen my apartment, have you?
651
00:38:52,182 --> 00:38:53,778
Well, you don't have a chimney.
652
00:38:57,954 --> 00:38:58,991
Let's go.
653
00:39:03,606 --> 00:39:05,166
Thank you...
654
00:39:05,409 --> 00:39:07,563
...for your incredible heart.
655
00:39:08,976 --> 00:39:10,571
Thank you.
656
00:39:11,581 --> 00:39:13,382
Hey.
657
00:39:13,706 --> 00:39:15,062
Let him see yours now.
658
00:39:16,472 --> 00:39:17,793
Yeah.
659
00:39:32,544 --> 00:39:38,073
Maybe it's much too early in the game
660
00:39:39,037 --> 00:39:44,485
Oh, but I thought I'd ask you
Just the same
661
00:39:45,570 --> 00:39:50,095
What are you doing New Year's
662
00:39:51,262 --> 00:39:55,901
New Year's Eve?
663
00:40:00,561 --> 00:40:02,875
I see what you mean.
Holidays are stressful.
664
00:40:03,125 --> 00:40:05,279
Why? Anything happen?
665
00:40:05,490 --> 00:40:06,892
Funny.
666
00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:11,338
What?
667
00:40:11,583 --> 00:40:12,539
Nothing.
668
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:14,905
- Merry Christmas.
- Yeah.
669
00:41:56,114 --> 00:41:57,151
You stinker!
670
00:41:57,396 --> 00:41:58,387
