:51:24
Mind if I ask you
something personal?
:51:26
Please.
:51:27
- You look really different.
- The weight.
:51:30
It's lndian teas and it's a lot
of salves and stuff. It's...
:51:34
- Do you want some cocoa?
- Uh, yes.
:51:36
Cocoa.
You have thought of everything.
:51:39
Well, this time of year,
l... I really shine.
:51:42
Yeah, I can't wait
till it's over, though.
:51:45
Streets are crowded,
the malls are jammed,
:51:47
people max out their credit cards...
It's noisy.
:51:50
When did you become
such a cynic?
:51:52
Oh. I don't know.
:51:56
I used to love Christmas, too.
:51:58
It was the only day
that my parents didn't fight.
:52:02
- Oh.
- Oh.
:52:04
They were at each other
all the time.
:52:06
But on Christmas, they tried
to make the holiday special.
:52:10
My dad went through this charade
so I'd believe in Santa Claus.
:52:14
He put a cot by the fireplace
so Santa could take a nap...
:52:17
Like he has time to take a nap!
:52:19
Consider the amount of gifts
he would have to... deliver.
:52:23
Why would he nap? He
would probably need some coffee.
:52:25
Yeah. And there was
cocoa and cookies.
:52:30
And carrots for the reindeer.
:52:32
That's a good gesture.
The reindeer love carrots.
:52:35
And the thought is
important to them, too.
:52:37
Yeah. And I'd wake up and the cocoa
and cookies would be gone
:52:42
and the cot would be mussed
and the carrots gnawed.
:52:45
They swallow them. If they're
fresh they'll eat 'em like that.
:52:49
They love red bell peppers, too.
:52:51
You know the stories.
If you read...
:52:55
And there would be incredible
presents under the tree.
:52:59
One year was a rocking horse,
and I named it Harvey.
