I didn't have
a good relationship
with my mom growing up,
and I never felt very
accepted or thought of.
Definitely not unique
or special to her,
and the minute that I met Mary,
it was like the mother that
I always wanted to have,
somebody that accepted
me, listened to me,
really saw me, and
really took me in
for all of my
idiosyncrasies and flaws.
She thought I was funny,
even when I wasn't.
I'm sometimes funny,
but not all the time.
[ASHES WHOOSH]
She was a really,
really special woman
who just loved life
and loved people,
and she always laughed
at all my jokes.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
-Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
in a one horse open sleigh
Over the hills we go,
laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is
to ride and sing
a sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse
Open
Sleigh
I don't...
I don't really know why
we couldn't just go
to your dad's place.
WESLEY: I wanna
see the ocean.
It's really, really cold.
Babe, why are we doing this?
You didn't have to flirt
with the taxi driver.
I didn't. I wasn't flirting
with the taxi driver.
Oh my God. Is that
what this is about?
Don't be so mad at me.
You were sleeping in the taxi
and I wanted to talk to you.
Mr. Taxi Driver.
Mr. Taxi Driver Man,
would you say that
your day is like a A+?
You know my mouth
is bigger than that.
Oh, this is your head.
Hey, my husband's sleeping,
so I wanna talk to somebody
on this two and a half
hour drive.
WESLEY: I don't care
about what you're saying.
-Stop it.
-WESLEY: I'm sleeping
because you're sucking
the life out of the taxi driver,
-taxi cab.
-Don't be mad at me.
-WESLEY: I'm not mad at you.
-CHARLIE: Just be nice to me.
Be nice.
I'm slightly annoyed.
I think we should dive in.
Let's just enjoy
this. It's too cold.
WESLEY: Let's go.
-CHARLIE: No!
-Come on!
Come on!
No.
Jesus Christ.
I'm fine here.
God damn it.
-Come on!
-No!
[WESLEY SCOFFS]
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
What are we gonna sing?
-Uh, "Silent Night."
-"Holy Night."
"Holy Night"?
Is that what it's called?
-Is it?
-"Silent Night"?
We wish you a merry
No, on C. What's the tonality?
We wish you
a merry Christmas
"Silent Night" is better.
-Yeah.
-All right.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
I don't do the lyrics, but--
"Silent."
-Silent
-One, two.
-Okay.
-Let's start over.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Dad?
Where are his lights?
We're here!
Maybe let's check, go around.
Dad?
Dad?
CHARLIE: I mean, he usually
has like a wreath outside.
WESLEY: Dad?
[WESLEY CHUCKLES]
Dad!
-CHARLIE: Hey!
-WESLEY: There you are.
[SAMUEL GRUNTS]
[WESLEY AND SAMUEL CHUCKLE]
CHARLIE: Here, here.
Let me get that.
I missed you,
Dad. How are you?
I'm all right.
You look very well.
You, you look heavenly,
and you look warm
and that's good.
-Not warm enough.
-She's warm. She's warm.
She was super warm
to the cab driver.
-Oh, right.
-What?
-Okay.
-WESLEY: You got this?
I got it. I got it.
[CHARLIE GRUNTS]
I over-packed,
but what's new?
You're gonna wear that?
-Yeah.
-CHARLIE: It's the same color
as what you're
wearing right now.
It's not the same color.
It's the exact same sweater.
Well, one is burgundy
and the other one is cabernet.
That's basically
the same color.
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
PASSENGER: A TV show
that always plays
called Back To You,
and then it's about, like,
giving to the homeless
and stuff, like presents,
and then on the morning
after, it's Christmas,
you log in Christmas Day.
DRIVER: Here it is.
Here's the house.
It's so cute!
It's, like, cute in like
a derelict type of way?
-Really?
-You know what I mean?
Yeah. It's like shabby chic.
Just, I'm telling you,
my dad is, you know,
going through stuff, so it's
not gonna be very Christmas-y.
So, just--
He knows we're girlfriends?
I told him you
were my girlfriend.
But, like, not a friend
who's a girl. Like girlfriend.
I don't know.
I don't know what he got.
He'll like us?
Yeah. He likes me
and I like you, so...
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Yeah.
Hi!
[JACKIE CHUCKLES]
Daddy!
Hi.
I missed you.
-You look great.
-SAMUEL: You too.
-I know.
-[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Hello.
Oh, yeah, sorry. So this
is Lola, my girlfriend.
-Hi.
-[SAMUEL CHUCKLES]
JACKIE: Why do you
have your coat on?
I mean, we were outside,
but you were in the
house, so I don't--
I was outside before.
Your dad seems sad.
He's always been
drinking his life away.
It has nothing to do
with sadness or...
Mmm.
But I think this is
a really hard time for your dad.
It's the first holiday
without your mom.
It's a big holiday
for all of us.
Who's taking care of us?
Who's taking care of me?
I'm taking care of you.
-Are you taking care of me?
-Ooh.
How long have you
been in the house?
Uh, not so very long.
Just a year or so.
Erm, where are you from?
Sweden.
-SAMUEL: Sweden?
-Yeah.
SAMUEL: I love Sweden.
Oh, when were you there?
No, I've never been there,
but I love the movies
of Ingmar Bergman,
the greatest master.
The greatest of all time.
SAMUEL: There's never
been anybody like him.
What am I talking about?
What?
SAMUEL: Babbling.
Wesley's upstairs.
-He's here?
-SAMUEL: He longed to see you.
No way! Okay, sorry, I'm just--
-SAMUEL: Sorry.
-JACKIE: What?
Are you... are you peeing?
-What?
-Shut the door!
Oh, I thought you were peeing.
Baby, if you ever
hear me peeing this way,
just sh**t me.
-sh**t me twice.
Make sure I never stand up.
-I mean, I did think--
It was loud, but--
-JACKIE: Wes?
-Hey!
-Oh!
-Hey!

-[JACKIE LAUGHS]
-CHARLIE: Hey. Hi.
JACKIE: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah.
-Good to see you.
-JACKIE: Yeah.
I thought that all
Swedish people were blonde.
I mean, no, no,
I know it's silly,
but a lot of Swedish people
are blonde, aren't they?
You don't look very Swedish.
Oh.
You never were blonde?
I mean, you have
always been that color.
LOLA: Yeah.
Good look.
Oh. Oh, I wanted to tell you.
I love the new stuff that
you just came out with.
I mean, I loved your
old stuff, obviously,
but this stuff is just, I
think it's your best EP yet.
I love the synth and the guitar
that you brought in on this EP.
Oh, you like the guitar?
Yeah. I mean, I know
that you don't play.
I mean, obviously,
the songwriting is
what makes it great.
Just, can I?
SAMUEL: Of course. Of course.
Could you say
"Merry Christmas" for me
in Swedish?
[LOLA SPEAKS IN SWEDISH]
[BOTH SPEAKING IN SWEDISH]
"Ooh," like "ooh,"
like "ooh, la, la."
[BOTH SPEAK IN SWEDISH]
I don't know what you do. Ugh.
[BOTH SPEAK IN SWEDISH]
It means "good," like good.
Good.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
[SAMUEL SPEAKS IN SWEDISH]
-Better than Jackie.
-[SAMUEL CHUCKLES]
So, where do you
think Jackie went?
I think she went upstairs
to see her brother, Wesley.
-Lovely.
-So nice to meet you. Lovely.
You too. Lovely.
[SAMUEL SPEAKS IN SWEDISH]
-CHARLIE: How's the--
-Writing?
-JACKIE: Yeah.
-Still doing it.
-LOLA: Baby?
-Hey.
-Hi!
-Hi.
JACKIE: Hey, so
everyone, this is Lola.
-My brother.
-Hi, I'm Wesley.
-Nice to meet you.
-Hi.
-Nice to meet you.
-JACKIE: And his wife.
CHARLIE: Charlie.
-Nice to meet to you.
-Hey.
-CHARLIE: Hi.
Nice to meet you.
-JACKIE: So this is, everyone,
Lola, my girlfriend, yeah.
WESLEY: It's so nice
to finally meet you.
-CHARLIE: I know.
It's so nice to meet you.
-Me too.
Yeah.
Yeah. Girlfriend.
I like your sweater.
-Oh, thank you.
-I'm gonna have a drink.
It's burgundy.
Okay, let's have a drink,
okay? Shall we?
WESLEY: Jacqueline,
Jacqueline, Jacqueline.
Stop calling me
Jacqueline, okay?
-Let's go.
-JACKIE: Lola, you coming?
[CHARLIE SIGHS] Okay.
[BOTH SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
God help me. God help me.
We should do something.
It's too empty.
Yeah. Just put
the Christmas tree.
I can be the Christmas tree.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-You can decorate me.
-Let me find
some decorations for you.
Oh, wow. He didn't
unbox anything.
[JACKIE SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Bedroom.
There's like one item.
I mean, he kinda unpacked.
Yes.
This was probably here before
the cupboard was installed.
[CORK SQUEAKS]
I feel like it would be
different if Mom was here.
WESLEY: Yeah. We wouldn't
be here if Mom was here.
No.
[SOLEMN MUSIC PLAYING]
WESLEY: So, Lola.
-JACKIE: What, Lola?
-WESLEY: Tell me more.
Tell me more.
Oh, what? Stop it.
I don't know.
She's my girlfriend
and it's serious, I guess.
She loves me a lot.
WESLEY: That's a good
quality in a girlfriend.
That's a really
good quality. Yeah.
I actually told her that I was
gonna write a song for her.
-That's, yeah.
-WESLEY: You did?
-Yeah, I did. I've changed.
-WESLEY: Have you?
Yeah, I'm a romantic now.
You could help me.
I'm a sports journalist.
JACKIE: Only because
your wife gave you that job.
-WESLEY: Nice.
-Yeah.
Don't do that for him.
Why? He's not gonna do it
so we might just, you know,
-help him out.
-Don't get him used to that.
I just don't wanna
leave this place,
and, like, you know,
I don't wanna know that he's
living this way, you know?
Are you gonna do anything?
Mom, she'd want us to help.
I mean, isn't that the
whole point of us, you know,
coming here for Christmas,
just to make it better?
I don't see how
unpacking boxes--
Because he's not happy!
He's living in an empty house.
He needs you. He needs me.
He needs everyone.
f*ck.
[JACKIE SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Have you been to the memorial
to see where they
scattered the ashes?
Yeah. I went.
-You went?
-JACKIE: Mhm.
-When?
-Two weeks ago
when I was in Paris,
and I ended up, you know,
going by the little
ice cream shop,
you know, we used to go
to, and it was very cute.
I don't know.
It felt like all of
the pain, you know,
that I had was
gone for a moment.
WESLEY: I wanted
to go over there.
But you were in America.
Yeah.
I think Dad's got some
of the ashes, right?
WESLEY: He could. Why?
-Time for a drink, methinks.
-JACKIE: He kept
some ashes with him.
-He wanted--
-Would he do that?
She wanted to be scattered.
Yeah, but he wanted to
have a piece of her, I guess.
I don't know.
Nice little chat
you two are having.
I'm not deaf.
-JACKIE: I'm sorry.
-Oh, please.
[SAMUEL SIGHS]
-[CLOCK TICKING]

our family for granted,
nor our family Christmas

CHARLIE: I found the
fireplace decorations.
We can decorate.
Your mom made us all
stockings last year.
WESLEY: Oh, where is it?
I think it's
probably in this box.
I've never had a
stocking before,
so I thought that was really
nice for her to make me one.
JACKIE: Lucky you.
You had one too.
Want to do all that again?
[MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY]
Okay.
It's gone. It's the past.
Did I tell you
about what happened
in the cab on the way here?
-What happened?
-What?
Nevermind.
She was flirting
with the taxi driver.
JACKIE: Was he hot?
No. He wasn't hot.
He wasn't,
but I really don't care.
JACKIE: Oh, yeah. You really
sound like you don't care.
Well. Erm...
This is normally about the
time that I go to the pub.
Let's all go together.
Yeah, or I could just
go and you could stay.
So you're going to the pub?
WESLEY: He's
going to the pub.
And we're staying here?
SAMUEL: Yep.
[SAMUEL CHUCKLES]
Oh. Oh.
Enjoy yourself. Just
don't get too pissed.
And don't worry about all this.
It's okay that you didn't
put any decorations up.
It doesn't matter.
You really are a f*cking
little sh*t, aren't you?
[WESLEY SIGHS]
[DOOR SLAMS]
What was that about?
JACKIE: Why did you
have to talk about it?
-Talk about what?
-The decorations.
I mean,
we were having a nice time.
I just told him that--
JACKIE: That what?
That it was okay that
the decorations weren't hung.
I was trying to make him feel--
He was okay? Do it yourself.
Just don't blame things on him.
[STAMMERS]
What do you want me to say?
I don't understand.
-I'm just,
where have you been?
-Why are you being like this?
Seriously, the past year,
where have you been?
Where have you been?
I was on tour. I was working.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
-Oh, I don't?
-Jacqueline, please.
Stop calling me Jacqueline!
That's your name.
Okay, we're leaving. Lola!
I'm not staying here.
Wesley, I'm leaving, now!
I'm packing my stuff!
I think you might be
overreacting just a tad.
JACKIE: I'm not.
He just pissed me off.
Okay, so, okay.
JACKIE: Pack your things.
We're going home.
I think we should just
have a glass of wine,
take a moment, and just relax.
I don't wanna relax.
We can leave tomorrow.
Where are you gonna go?
-You're drunk.
-I don't know!
I can't drive for sh*t, so--
JACKIE: Yeah, you can't drive.
That's for sure.
Do you think Jackie's
really leaving?
Yeah, she's gonna go
have a little walk
around the neighborhood
and she'll come back.
But do you think
she's leaving town?
No.
He just f*cking
disappeared for a year,
and then, like, he comes
back and it's like--
Jackie, these are the facts.
You're drunk.
You've had like seven
glasses of red wine,
and you are not driving us
on the highway right now.
Precious cargo.
[JACKIE SCOFFS]
Namaste.
Namaste. No, no,
no, no namaste.
We'll f*cking go.
We'll go first thing
in the morning.
I mean, she's the whole
reason that we even met,
so you would think
she'd be nicer to me.
Maybe she wanted a friend
and she got a sister-in-law.
That is not it.
You know what it's about.
WESLEY: What is it about?
She doesn't like that
I got close to your mom.
-[JACKIE GROANS]
-Look how sexy I am.
-Ooh, strip tease.
-[LIVELY ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
Ooh, one boot.
Ooh, clothes coming off.
-JACKIE: What?
-LOLA: I'm about to pull
you on the dance floor, baby.
I'm trying to
find my strength,
but she's making it
a little difficult.
-Uh-uh. Nope.
I don't wanna dance.
-Just a little dance.
-LOLA: It's very,
very hot in here.
-I don't wanna dance right now.
Ooh, I think you love taking
your clothes off and dancing.
[LOLA GIGGLES]
-One dance.
-One dance!
What's that burning
-What's that burning,
my mum shrieks down
-Ooh!
[CHARLIE CHUCKLES]
She's touching up her brow
for when the family arrives
And the red wine
plummets down
And we should all
be in our beds
But it's right wing
versus left
Until the wings
fall off our heads
And is this Christmas
Is this Christmas
Is this Christmas
My dear
Is this Christmas
Whatever happened
to our festive cheer
[JACKIE BLOWS RASPBERRY, LAUGHS]
Yeah. That was... great.
Oh, what?
-LOLA: Cool.
-I'm joking!
Do you know what
I like about you?
That no matter what
you're going through,
you still strive for greatness
and you wanna be better,
and that's huge.
You know what
I love about you?
-CHARLIE: What?
-You're fine.
You're fine, girl.
Mm, mm, mm.
I look at you, I'm like, "Ooh!"
-Yeah, girl.
-You're really hot.
-WESLEY: That's right.
-When we walk down the
street, people are like,
"Damn, look at that fine guy."
[CHARLIE GIGGLES]
What?
Do you know what
I love about you?
I'm waiting. Why don't you
wear your wedding ring anymore?
It's too tight.
It was choking my finger
the same way you're
choking me right now.
-Fine. Whoa!
-Wait.
Oh, sh*t. Are you okay?
Lola.
I know you won't be mad at me
forever, because you love me.
LOLA: Uh-uh.
Oh, you love me.
-LOLA: Uh-uh.

-Oh no.
Oh, ow!
[FOOTSTEPS THUMPING]
Oh, sh*t.
Okay. Okay, babe.
Wake up.
Babe, wake up. I have
to tell you something.
I did something really stupid,
and I was just really,
really drunk last night,
and I got all, you know,
emotional because of the family
and what's going on, and I just
did something really stupid.
-[WESLEY SIGHS]
-Are you listening to me?
I have to tell you something.
-I'm a very good person.
-Hey, everyone!
-CHARLIE: Hi. Good morning.
-Okay.
All right, Wesley,
sit up please.
Respect yourself a little bit.
All right, okay, Dad, sit here.
What do you got there?
JACKIE: Charlie, can
you sit too? Thank you.
Yeah.
All right. Okay, everyone.
So I found this in the kitchen.
It's Mom's diary,
and so she left,
I mean, a list for us to do.
It's very beautiful.
Christmas rules.
That's so Mom. That's so cute.
First, return home,
which we did.
Two, involve relatives.
We must have a cousin
around or something, right?
Three, become a
part of community.
I mean, you could
go back to choir.
You love singing, right?
That would be good.
Making new friends.
Four, give thanks.
Give one.
Love.
Give thanks, give love,
give presents.
It just has a ring to it.
I can read my mom's
handwriting, Charlie.
I mean, I don't
know what it says.
-I'm reading now.
-Yeah.
Five, treat extended
family like your own.
Yeah.
Six, celebrate New Year's
together and remember me.
And then, like--
SAMUEL: Here, here.
Let me see.
-JACKIE: Yeah, she put
it next to a picture of...
-Oh, goodness.
Was it you
dressed up as Santa?
I suppose it must have been.
[SAMUEL CHUCKLE]
-JACKIE: That's beautiful
that she did that.
-SAMUEL: Yes.
-I love it.
-SAMUEL: Yes.
Mama's reached out to us,
so it means
we can have fun now.
Right, Wesley?
Christmas Eve!
Wake up, wake up,
wake up, wake up.
-[GROANS SOFTLY]
-Wake up, wake up,
wake up, Wesley, wake,
and I'm happy you're here.
What is going on?
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[CHORUS VOCALIZING]
[GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
STAFF: Hiya. Why don't you
take a little look around?
Yeah. Actually, I'm in need
of getting some presents.
They're for family, so sometimes
it's always hard to get.
-Yeah, of course.
-The right thing
for your family.
-Yeah. Is it your family?
-Yeah. Well, kind of, yes.
You know how it goes.
Sometimes families
get mad at you,
and, you know, they don't
like you for certain things,
and then sometimes you do things
to make it better for them
and you do it out of the
goodness of your heart,
but it might not
be a good thing,
but you're still a good person.
You just made a mistake,
but then they might find out
and then they might get
even more mad at you,
but in order
to maybe offset that,
you should get them
a good Christmas present.
You know what I mean?
-STAFF: Yeah.
-Yeah, so is there
anything in here like that?
Well, we've got
some nice pictures.
A picture can say more
than words sometimes.
Yeah. I don't know if
that's gonna be enough.
I think we should
release the ashes, Dad.
-It's just like--
-You have to give me
a reason, I'm afraid.
It's no good telling me
that you think we should
get rid of the ashes,
and it's also no good telling
me what Mum would've thought.
Nobody knows what
Mum would've thought.
You happened to ask about
it, so I showed it to you,
and that's all.
What we're trying
to say is just,
Dad, we love you.
JACKIE: Oh, we can smoke it.
SAMUEL: Smoke your mother?
Smoke Mom.
It's ashes we're
talking about.
Just a thought.
We don't have to. Whatever.
Wouldn't you rather have a
walk and stare at the ocean,
thinking about Mum,
than just having this tiny
wooden box collecting dust?
[BOXES RUSTLE]
What?
What are you saying, Mum?
Oh, you don't wanna
be put in a box.
You wanna be outside.
Hello? Is she
talking to me too?
JACKIE: Yeah, I think so.
Mum?
Mum?
Dusty, she says.
Yeah. Must be.
WESLEY: We love you, Mum.
We love you.
Do you wanna see the ocean?
-She does.
-WESLEY: Yes.
Now, don't make Mum's voice.
Yeah, she wants
to see the ocean.
-It's been a while.
-JACKIE: Mm-hmm.
These.
CHARLIE: Ooh.
Are pretty cool.
Oh, yeah?
-Do I look cooler?
-Yes. I'm loving that.
Family members
as good-looking as you?
-Thanks.
-No? [STAFF MEMBER CHUCKLES]
Uh, yes, they are.
Have you done any modeling?
Oh, no. I'm a
journalist, mostly music.
Ah, so glasses?
Um...
-Feels cool, man.
-I will have four of these.
I mean, I know it's a present,
and you're not supposed to
tell 'em beforehand what it is,
but I would tell 'em
what it is beforehand,
because if they grab 'em
hard, they'll break 'em.
They're gonna know
they're glasses.
Not if they're wrapped.
You'd be surprised.
People are idiots.
If it was wrapped, I'd go,
"Here are your sunglasses.'
Do what I just did.
Here, Merry Christmas.
These are your glasses,
sunglasses.
See, you got it wrong.
It's not easy, is it?
I really think
we've got on today.
If you were to rate me out of 10
on the interaction
between me and you,
what would you give it?
I'm just gonna just buy
the sunglasses right now.
STAFF: Awesome.
Well, I suppose
the bigger question is
would you like me to call you?
I just really
want the glasses.
That's cool. That's cool.
That's awesome.
Think how much fun we'd have
if we actually went out.
Hi. Oh my God.
-Thank God.
-WESLEY: [ON PHONE] Hey.
Hi, I've been trying
to reach you. I'm sorry.
Hey, where are
you? Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I got lost and I went shopping
and now I don't know
where I am, and...
Do you want me
to come get you?
Okay, yeah. There's a church.
I think this is a church.
WESLEY: Okay,
stay there. I'll...

Do you want one?
-Yeah, of course.
-Yeah, okay.
[SAMUEL HUMMING]
[SAMUEL CONTINUES HUMMING]
[SAMUEL CONTINUES HUMMING]
You know, like when you do
something when you're drunk,
but it's not you necessarily
because you regret it.
You do things,
and then it doesn't
necessarily mean that
that's who you are.
You know what I mean?
-You know what I mean.
-Yeah, yeah, I guess.
Yeah, it doesn't
make you a bad person
that you were just drunk
and you messed up, right?
I like when you're drunk.
You're funny.
Like, you're very funny. More
fun than when you're sober.
CHARLIE: Thank you.
Yeah. You're welcome.
-[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Happy Christmas.
Oh, happy Christmas.
-All right.
-Yes. Erm...
Yes. Er, erm...
It's Viv?
-Viv.
-VIV: Yeah.
-Not Allen's boy.
-VIV: Yeah.
Oh, God, I should
have recognized you.
I haven't seen you since-
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I brought that. Look.
There you go.
-Oh. Thank you so much.
-For luck.
Jackie invited me.
Oh, did she?
-Yeah.
-Oh, she didn't tell me.
That's fine. That's great.
-I'm sorry.
-No, it's wonderful.
So you think that that's
like who you are as a person?
-You think that that's--
-JACKIE: Yeah.
I don't know.
I think that, actually,
you can do things
that are not necessarily
who you are at all,
because you're just
making random decisions,
and it's not who you are
in your soul. You're
What has he done?
He's done something.
Hmm?
JACKIE: You're talking
about Wesley, right?
-Oh.
-You can tell me, you know.
We're like sisters in a way.
I'm so sorry I couldn't be
there for Allen's send-off.
I, I...
I was sorry
that I couldn't come to...
SAMUEL: No, no.
It's far, innit?
We can't all be everywhere
-all the time, can we?
-Yeah.
Did Mary have a good
funeral? Was it a good day?
It was what it
is, I mean, for us.
Did they actually bury her?
Like, was it,
-or was it ash?
-Uh, no.
She very much wanted
to be cremated.
Same, same.
-Yes.
-Not me, Dad.
-Yeah.
-I'm not really bothered.
When you're gone,
you're gone, innit?
It's over, end of
sports, kaput, innit?
So, um...
You know, it's Wesley.
Like, when we were younger,
he went out to the
pub to see his friends
and he took my dad's car
and he had an accident with it
-and he blamed it on me.
-I'm gonna take my hand back.
-JACKIE: Oh, yeah. Sorry.
-That's okay.
Everyone thought it was my fault
and no one, like,
trusted me anymore, and--
-And you forgave him.
-JACKIE: I forgave him.
-You forgave him.
-JACKIE: I forgave him.
Because he's a good person.
No, because he's family.
-[MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY]
-Okay. Awesome.
-Bring the plates.
-Thank you.
LOLA: Can I
have the red stuff?
CHARLIE: Thank you.
-The red stuff?
-Cranberry sauce.
Oh, yeah.
Do you want potatoes?
Potatoes, please,
by all means.
Potatoes. Yes, please.
Potatoes.
[FAMILY CHATTERING

Dad, you want any?
SAMUEL: Yup. Lovely.
JACKIE: Where? Everywhere?
SAMUEL: Yes, everywhere.
Gravy with that?
SAMUEL: Yes, gravy. Thank you.
VIV: Some gravy
on your turkey.
Guys, please, just a second
before you start eating.
We don't get this
occasion very often,
-so be with me in the moment.
-Okay.
Will you please
close your eyes?
All right. [CLEARS THROAT]
I'd like to take
this opportunity to...
um...
to thank, uh, to thank Mum.
We want to thank you.
We want to thank you
for giving us the opportunity
to be here all together.
We know you are
watching down on us,
probably from the next room.
[WESLEY CHUCKLES]
I'd like to thank you, Mum,
for reaching out to Jackie.
JACKIE: Thank you, Mum.
And giving us those rules,
a blueprint.
Even with your absence,
you find a way to rule us,
-with love, of course.
-JACKIE: That's so her.
You made Jackie so, so happy.
You did.
And through Jackie,
made us happy.
So thank you for
bringing us all together.
This feels really special.
I guess what I wanna say is
to absent family and friends.
All right. Cheers.
[GLASSES CLINKING]
-Cheers.
-Skol.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, cheers.
And to Allen,
specifically Allen,
'cause Dad, Allen, I don't
think he's in the other room,
but he's with her, Mary.
He's with her, and probably
together, having a nice time.
I thought they'd be having
a nice time, wouldn't they?
-I didn't really know her.
Fabulous time.
-SAMUEL: Fabulous.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's what they're doing
up there now. Amen to that.
That's it. Iechyd.
-There we are.
-Iechyd.
-All right.
-Yeah.
-FAMILY: Cheers.
-JACKIE: Thank you.
[DISHES CLATTERING]
All right, so I
know who you two are,
obviously because of Dad,
but who are you two then?
Lola. She's my girlfriend.
Oh, like?
Yeah. We're a couple.
French, innit? It's
quite French, that is.
And you? Are
you seeing anyone?
No, no, no, no.
I've talked to some
people online and stuff,
but actually,
like, in real life,
not for, maybe like,
pre-pandemic, and three years.
-So, like eight years-ish.
-Oh, nice.
So where exactly did
you find that diary?
I found it on the table.
SAMUEL: What table?
This one. This table.
I never saw it
here. I really didn't.
JACKIE: I thought you were
the one who brought it up
when you came back from
the pub the other night.
I just thought you just
left it on the table.
-I really can't remember
anything like that.
-JACKIE: 'Cause like--
Let's talk about what
we're grateful for this year.
LOLA: Rose and thorn.
-What's that?
-LOLA: Rose and thorn.
Oh, like something
good and something bad?
Oh. Okay, cool, yeah,
we could do that too.
So, like, I'll go first.
Like, something that
is good for me is...
I have a lot of
frequent flyer miles
because I come here,
and then something bad that
happened, you know, is, uh...
So you go. Anybody go.
Obviously, the fact
that I found Mum's diary,
and she left this list for
us and for me to find it,
but, also, my new EP
is going very well.
I'm pretty sure, you know,
I'm gonna go on tour again.
Something good that happened
to me was that I met Jackie.
JACKIE: Oh, yeah, that
too. I wanted to say that.
So, Wes babe, do you wanna go?
Okay, something good, I only
got to go to America once.
Yeah.
JACKIE: Yeah.
Okay, bad thing.
I don't know what
you want me to say.
I f*cking hate my job,
I'm f*cking miserable at work
and I wish I didn't pursue
such a miserable career,
a sport that I don't
even like anymore.
What about you?
-SAMUEL: Me?
-Yeah.
Well, the good thing was
that I made the best cabinet
I ever made in my life,
and the bad thing is
the person I made it
for never got to see it.
I really wanna take back my
frequent flyer miles comment.
Yeah. I regret that.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
[LOLA CLEARS THROAT]
-Hey.
-Oh, hey.
What's up?
Nothing much.
Checking on you.
Are you okay with all of this?
Mhm.
-What?
-WESLEY: This chaos.
I mean, it makes one
wanna drink an extra drink,
an extra shot, if
you know what I mean.
WESLEY: Is there
something inside?
Yeah. It's just like something
I just picked up... in town.
How are you?
-[CHUCKLES]
-Because you're giving me,
like, really low energy vibes.
You know, my guru told me that
unless you love yourself,
you can't love anyone else.
So my question for you,
do you love yourself?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] I wish I knew.
I don't know. How do you feel?
I see what you're doing.
What am I doing?
You're avoiding the subject.
Who are you? How are you?
And how's Charlie?
Like, not to be rude,
but I, like, love Jackie,
and obviously, your vibe
is bringing us down and--
My vibe?
Your vibe,
and I can't exactly say that
you and Charlie
are selling marriage.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, your poster sucks. It
looks like a horror film.
Okay.
Um, thank you.
-LOLA: You're welcome.
-Thank you.
-LOLA: I feel like we're
having a moment, do you think?
-[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
-Me and Jackie's brother
are having a moment.
-Yes, yes.
LOLA: Yeah.
Think about it.
Think about it.
You never know.
I mean, I don't know what's
in it, but think about it.
-Come here.
-WESLEY: I'm listening.
I mean, you're obviously
not listening
because you're walking away.
Sit down. Come here.
I'm so close to the door.

-Hello there.
-Hello.
You all right?
Yeah. How are you?
-Good.
-WESLEY: Do you like Lola?
Yeah.
I can see why you like her.
Yeah. She's fun.
I was in the kitchen
earlier with Charlie.
She was talking about
how you, I don't know,
like, do things when
you're drunk, and like,
it's not really you because
you're drunk, and you know.
What do you mean?
I don't know. I didn't
get what she was saying.
I thought it might
have been about you.
He was feeling left out.
[VIV CHUCKLES]
WESLEY: Dad.
-SAMUEL: That's my chair.
-Sorry.
SAMUEL: Everybody
knows that's my chair.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't know it was.
I'll sit here.
[FAMILY INDISTINCTLY MURMURS]
[SAMUEL GRUNTS]
[FAMILY INDISTINCTLY MURMURS]
That was such a good meal.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
LOLA: I loved the peas.
Yeah, I'm okay. I am.
At the table,
when you were talking
about being in America.
WESLEY: I'm sorry
about what I said.
CHARLIE: But I want you
to be able to talk to me
-if you don't wanna be there.
-I am.
I know I can talk to
you. I know you're here.
But then when you say
things like that in there,
-it makes me feel like--
-It's just...
Let's leave it in that room.
What did you do
last Christmas?
LOLA: Sorry.
Oh, she's off.
Sorry.
-CHARLIE: I don't want
you to hate your job.
-JACKIE: Hey, guys.
CHARLIE: Hi. Oh.
Coming in, all right.
Hey, sister.
It's all of this.
I just sat around the house.
I sat around the house
and had some whiskey.
[VIV SIGHS]
Just you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep.
What were you
guys talking about?
Um, just checking in with him
and making sure
everything was...
WESLEY: I'm all checked in.
Checked in.
WESLEY: Checkity,
checkity, check.
Checked in and ready
to go up to the room.
-So everything's fine?
-CHARLIE: Oh, yeah,
everything's great.
JACKIE: Okay. I just
thought you were arguing.
CHARLIE: Oh, no,
no, no, no, no, no, we--
JACKIE: It kind
of looked like it.
-He's happy.
-Happy.
Yeah!
Yeah.
-Yes, of course,
I remember it...
-Yeah.
...but the only thing
I miss, honestly,
I'm really earnest
about this,
-singing.
-Singing.
-The singing.
-Singing.
What are we
gonna do about the--
-Nativity?
-Yes.
We could, like,
use it to maybe buzz
on a message for Dad
-to not, like, drink so much.
-What are you talking about?
You know,
just like to show him
that he's, like,
missing out on stuff.
What are you guys talking about?
WESLEY: Why don't we do it,
like, in the form of a play?
Kind of like as a metaphor.
CHARLIE: A play
to tell your dad
-about his drinking tonight?
-Yes, yes.
How did you meet Mary?
Oh my God.
Oh, sorry. I didn't
mean to upset you.
-It's just, it seems--
-No, no, no, it's just...
It just seemed like
you really loved her,
-and I just wanted to know.
-Oh, yes, I really did.
VIV: So I didn't mean
to upset you, it's just-
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It doesn't upset me.
Well, do you remember
when I came down from here
and I went to London
and I apprenticed
myself as a carpenter?
Very lowly, it was.
-WESLEY: You're
doing it with us.
-I'm in the play?
-WESLEY: Yes.
-JACKIE: Really?
-WESLEY: Yeah.
She should be in the play.
-Oh, you can be the lobster.
There's a lobster
in the nativity?
There's no
lobster in the play.
But, now, there is one.
Then, one day,
into the shop came this woman.
French.
I could smell fantastic
perfume coming off her.
Oh, she was so beautiful.
Completely just
out of my league.
[SAMUEL AND VIV CHUCKLE]
Anyway, she came in
and she looked around
and just picked up this thing.
It was just quite
a small cabinet,
just a little cabinet.
You could put, I suppose it
had a couple of drawers in it,
so you could put necklaces
or whatever like that.
So I wrote a little
receipt out for her
and I said on it, "Thank
you for your custom.
Please come back."
And I put my telephone number,
which was very cheeky of me,
and she said,
"Thank you very much,"
and she put it in her
pocket and she left.
I thought, "Well, I'll
never see her again."
Three days later,
my phone rings.
"Hello."
She said, "I'm coming
to the shop again.
I'm going to look
at some furniture.
Perhaps we would have
a little something to eat
or something to drink."
I said, "Yeah, sure thing."
And, really, there's nothing
more to tell after that.
It was just...
total,
absolutely total, [SNIFFLES]
and you know,
it was God.
I've never had anything
like that. I've never had it.
Never had it.
SAMUEL: I'm
sorry. I am sorry.
It's not your fault.
Well, no, but I'm sorry.
VIV: Bloody lovely, that is.
Yeah. It was.
JACKIE: Thank you,
my old friend.
WESLEY: Oh, yes.
[JACKIE SPUTTERS]
-WESLEY: And cheers to that.
-And cheers to you.
-Checkmate, my old friend.
-BOTH: Mwah!
-Yes, sir!
-[BOTH BLUSTERING INDISTINCTLY]
Oh, Charlie, sit over here.
-CHARLIE: Oh, uh, okay.
-We're missing a lobster.
Oh, yeah, where is
the lobster, boiling?
-WESLEY: Hey. Oh, yes.
-CHARLIE: Come to the manger...
-WESLEY: Cheers to that!
-...and see the baby.
-I think it's a special baby.
I'm not sure.
-JACKIE: Oh, how is the--
If you don't come now,
you're gonna miss it,
and I know you guys
are both drunk,
and that's super fun
for you guys, but also--
-Fun.
-Fun!
I think it would
be a really good idea
-to come now.
-We just love that drinking!
CHARLIE: Come on.
Follow the lobster.
Yes, thank you for the
information, this precious
-piece of information, lobster.
-Thank you.
-We will be there.
-Of course.
-Close the door.
-Yes, yes.
-Cheers to Jesus.
-Oh, Jesus.
-Mmm.
-Oh, yeah.
CHARLIE: So, this just in. Um--
Oh, the lobster again!
The lobster's back.
So this just in.
I told you guys that this is
gonna be a really special baby,
and then I was right,
because this baby is
like super famous.
-What?
-Yup, you better believe it.
A very famous baby.
-WESLEY: Dang it!
-If you weren't drinking,
then you could have met Jesus.
JACKIE: Oh no!
But you didn't, and so,
ah, that sucks for you.
Oh, we missed something
very, very important
because we were drinking.
And life has passed us by.
-So sad.
-And scene.
JACKIE: Scene.
-Yes.
-Woo, woo!
-Bravo!

Yeah.
It was a good Christmas.
It was a good Christmas.
I really loved
that lobster dress.
-It was really--
-Can you just
-stop it with the lobster thing?
-It was a beautiful view.
Okay.
I have to talk to
you about something.
-Okay.
-Do you really?
CHARLIE: Uh, yes, I do.
-I gotta, I'm sorry.
-Yeah.
It's important.
Um, do you remember
when we got married?
-Yes.
-We said vows
that said that we would
accept each other
and love each other for
better or for worse,
and you promised that--
Baby, you shouldn't
start a conversation by--
I know.
So, um, I,
you know how messed up
my family situation is,
and you know how much
I loved your mom,
and I wanted to have a
really good Christmas.
-WESLEY: What did you do?
-Okay. I...
I found a letter from your
mom written to your dad,
and she was so effusive and
beautiful about Christmas
and wanting all the
family to be together
and wanting everyone
to be happy, and...
-I wanted--
-What did you do?
We weren't happy. Your
sister wasn't happy.
Your dad was sad, and I wrote-
WESLEY: Charlie, Charlie,
you need to tell
me what you did.
I wrote the list.
I copied your mom's handwriting
and I wrote the
list with the rules.
[SIGHS]
But I did it because
Jackie hates me,
and you and I have been weird,
and I wanted to help your dad
'cause he seemed so sad, and--
You, you, you--
CHARLIE: I just felt like
it was gonna bring everybody--
You pretended to
be my dead mother?
Um...
Yeah.
I thought it would bring
us all together and it did,
and we had a great Christmas,
and your sister was happy and
you were being nicer to me,
and you seemed, I feel
like we were gonna have
-a good Christmas.
-Wait, wait, wait.
When did you think
this was a good idea?
CHARLIE: I wasn't thinking.
I was drunk and I panicked,
because I just wanted us
all to have a good time.
I mean, your sister hates me.
Oh my God. My sister.
Oh. What were you thinking?
I wasn't thinking.
I wasn't thinking.
I was just thinking I
wanted everyone to be happy.
I don't even, you don't
even wear your wedding ring!
It's too small
for my fingers, and--
CHARLIE: That
is such bullshit.
It is, it is too small, and--
The ring is not too small.
You're not happy.
Are you happy?
I'm sorry.
[CHARLIE SNIFFLES]

It's been wonderful,

How are you, yourself?
I'm okay. I'm just having to...
I think I'm a bit tired of work.
Since Mum left us,
I keep thinking about
the perfume you leave...
-Oh.
-...after your passage.
The scent, the memory.
I'm not going through
any sort of life crisis,
but I just don't see the point.
You're talking about the same
people and the same stuff,
and I... [STAMMERS]
Nobody will
remember us in 50 years.
Well, we all have to
live with that, you know.
I'm inspired by your work.
I just...
I want something that lasts.
I can see it now.

know about this?
Oh, God. One thing at a time.

if you don't mind.
Yeah, I'll get
you one. Of course.
[MUSIC FAINTLY PLAYING]
-Oh, hey.
-Hey.
Oh, I was thinking.
Maybe now is as good as a time
to pop the question.
What?
-What do you mean?
-The ring, maybe, now.
It's as good as a
time as it gets.
-Try the ring now.
-Wait, what do you mean?
By the darts.
LOLA: So you don't
think it's a horrible idea?
No. I think you
should try it now.
I can't really...
[LOLA DISTANTLY MURMURS]
I was-- That's the ladies'.
Also, the reason why I got it
isn't because, like, I'm
trying to pin her down,
and, like, you know,
label us as anything.
It's more like the
ring represents
the passion
and love and excitement.
It's not f*cking boring as
marriage. You know what I mean?
I want her to feel excited
by this circle, this
ring, the circle of life.
Can I get two shots?
Yeah. f*ck.
Like, we were together
in the Middle Ages.
We were together as little
plankton at the Big Bang.
We've always been together,
walking side by side
in the cycle of life.

She brought into my life
everything that I had lacked
and didn't know I lacked.
WESLEY: There's a saying
Jacques Prevert used to say.
I recognized my happiness
because of the sound
it made leaving the room.
Some people said
it's not from him, but...
CHARLIE: She was a really,
really special woman
who just loved life
and loved people,
and I've learned so,
so much from her,
like how to be more
loving to my mother.
JACKIE: I'm not really
saying goodbye.
'cause I know you're
always gonna be around me
and looking after Dad
and Wesley, of course, and...
Now I can really let you go.
[JACKIE SHARPLY BREATHES]
Oh, and I have a girlfriend
and she's... you'd love her.
She's great. [CHUCKLES]
And I know
I will see you again.
Thank you for everything
and I love you.

[VOCALIST CONTINUES SINGING

Hi, Mom.
How was your Christmas?
Is everything okay there?
I know. Um...
I-- [STAMMERS] I was gonna call.
You know me, just trying
to control everything.
I love you. I miss you too.
LOLA: Who made this?
It's delicious.
JACKIE: I hate
pudding now. I really do.
LOLA: So did you guys
actually believe in
Father Christmas?
Oh, I did, until Wesley.
-WESLEY: Everybody does.
-Yeah, until Wesley
ruined that for me.
No, I mean,
everybody believes it,
but I saw Mum and Dad
just holding the gifts
and they sensed my presence
and they looked at me,
and I went like, and we
exchanged a little moment,
and we never mentioned it again.
We never mentioned it again.
Your first reaction,
you came and told me,
which is horrible.
Like, 'cause I was much
younger. I was just a kid.
-[WESLEY LAUGHS]
-It's kinda absurd that parents
do that to their children.
I think it's because you
were in shock, because, like--
I have something
that I have to tell you guys.
I mean, they're just like,
you know, lying about.
I have to tell
you guys something. Um...
I have to. I have to.
I did something
really, really stupid. Um...
I found a letter that
Mary wrote to you, Samuel,
and it was talking
about how much
she wanted her family to be
together on Christmas and happy,
and so I copied her handwriting
and I wrote the
rules and the list
because I wanted us
to all be together, and...
I'm so, so sorry, Jackie.
I'm so sorry.
JACKIE: You did that?
CHARLIE: I was
trying to help.
JACKIE: I hate you.
Yeah. I know.
I loved your mom.
Don't.
What's wrong with you?
-CHARLIE: No, no, no.
-Don't talk about my mum.
I know, okay?
I swear to God. Why would you?
-I know.
-Why did you have
to tell me now?
No, no, no.
I couldn't look at you
and know that I was lying.
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait!
JACKIE: Charlie,
seriously, stop talking.
Okay, can we just
talk about this?
I think there's some things
that we probably need to
just talk about first.
-By lying to everyone?
-CHARLIE: I know it was---
Why would you do
something like this?
I messed up.
I was trying to help.
I wanted everybody
to have a good time.
Do you know how, like,
f*cked up you sound right now?
-I know, I know, I know.
-I'm coming for you.
-I swear to God,
I'm coming for you!
-I messed up, okay?
-Oh my God. Jackie, no!
-JACKIE: I hate you!
-No, okay! Listen to me!
-JACKIE: What's wrong
with you, Charlie? Seriously!
Wait, wait, wait.
I have an explanation.
Okay, I know. Sorry,
I deserve this. Please!
-[JACKIE GRUNTS]
-No!
-[BOTH STRUGGLING]
-Okay! Stop!
Jackie, listen! I have
a explanation for this!
Okay? Just settle!
Just listen! Jackie, no, listen!
JACKIE: Charlie, you listen!
No, settle, settle!
Just calm down!
God damn it!
No, wait, listen to me. Listen.
I did not-- I'm sorry.
[JACKIE AND CHARLIE PANT]
You're right.
She was your mom, not mine,
and I'm sorry that I was there.
You were there for
her, and I was not.
I'm mad at myself. That's it.
Like... [SNIFFLES]
[JACKIE SIGHS]
She loved you.
I'm sorry.
No. I'm sorry.
-Your hair smells great.
-Thanks.
-You ruined your trackers.
-I know.
-My pants are sh*t.
-My jeans.
[SAMUEL VOCALIZING]
[CROWD CHATTERING]
CHARLIE: Hiya.
LOLA: Hey, I
thought you guys might--
Oh, thank you.
CHARLIE: Thank
you. This is exciting.
Cheers.
WESLEY: Oof.
-Ooh.
-Who had this done?
-I don't know.
-WESLEY: Jesus.
-It's like right in
the back of the throat.
-You know.
-Tangy.
-It's gonna stay. Oof.
I love you.
I love you.
[SAMUEL VOCALIZING]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Oh, hello.
JACKIE: Hello.
-How do you feel?
-[SAMUEL CHUCKLES]
Nervous.
JACKIE: Great.
-And you?
-Nervous.
-SAMUEL: You?
-Yeah.
Just do it with love.
It'll be fine.
-JACKIE: Yeah.
-Yeah? That's all.
Beautiful. Now, be wonderful.
Good luck. Good
luck, everyone.
SAMUEL: My
daughter, my daughter.

-Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen,
and here's a little surprise.
My wonderfully talented daughter
Jackie has written a song
especially for tonight, and
it's called "A Song For Lola."
Thank you.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDS]
[JACKIE CLEARS THROAT]
-My friends talking
-[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't hear a word
The room starts shaking
I will not be stopped
I'm looking at you
You're biting your nails
Looking ahead
Wish we could just
clear the room
I'm looking at you
Are you looking at me
What if you see
me differently
We've got a good thing
But I know what should be
I wanna hug you
like I do in my dreams
We got it good
Wish we could
just be you and I
I'm looking at you
Are you looking at me
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
This is Lola.
That was so good.
JACKIE: Okay.
LOLA: Close your eyes.
-JACKIE: What?
-Close your eyes.
Open your hand.
Should auld
acquaintance be forgot
JACKIE: What is this?
LOLA: Don't freak out.
Give me your hand.
Should auld
acquaintance be forgot
For the sake
of auld lang syne
So what? I'm your wife now?
I wanna be your wife.
You can be whatever
you want to be.
My dear, for auld lang syne
You can be my wife too.
We'll drink a cup
of kindness yet
For the sake
of auld lang syne
I should probably
ask your father--
Oh, don't do that. No.
No, no, no.
It's a beautiful ring.
[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC CONTINUES]
For old acquaintance
be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old
acquaintance be forgot
For the sake
of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll drink a cup
of kindness yet
For the sake
of auld lang syne
