I feel bad drinking liquor
you're gonna need.

1:11:07
I better go.
1:11:09
- Merry Christmas.
- All right.

1:11:14
[Letitia] Missy, get in the car!
1:11:15
My God!
1:11:17
Have you lost your mind?
Did you just lose it in there?

1:11:31
You know, I have to ask,
1:11:33
just how bad is your real family
1:11:35
that you would rather
spend your Christmas like this?

1:11:49
There was no real family.
1:11:54
What do you mean,
"there is no family"?

1:11:57
You must've had a family.
1:11:59
I mean, you must've had
a Doo-Dah, right?

1:12:02
I had a friend whose grandfather,
1:12:05
was called Doo-Dah.
I always liked that.

1:12:10
My dad walked out on us on Christmas
1:12:14
when I was four.
1:12:16
It was basically
just me and my mom.

1:12:19
She was a waitress
at the 24-hour coffee shop.

1:12:25
She didn't have a lot of money,
so when Christmas came around,

1:12:29
it was an opportunity for her
to take a double shift. She did.

1:12:34
And, you know,
my Christmases were,

1:12:38
basically, I just kind of
sat around the house, you know?

1:12:43
Then at night,
I'd walk down there,

1:12:45
and Mom would always buy me
a grown-up stack of pancakes,

1:12:50
and I would sit by myself
at the end of the counter

1:12:53
and eat 'em.
1:12:55
I did that for Christmas every year
until I turned 1 8.
