the second question first

Are you crazy?

180
00:10:10,133 --> 00:10:13,233
I specifically said I did not
want him at the party.

181
00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:23,700
Well, you also said that you
thought the Christmas party

182
00:10:23,733 --> 00:10:26,200
would be a time when all your
friends would gather 'round

183
00:10:26,233 --> 00:10:28,266
and share the Christmas spirit.

184
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:29,366
He is not my friend.

185
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,333
Well he is my friend.

186
00:10:31,366 --> 00:10:35,700
And‐ and it's my party too,
and I'm going to let him in.

187
00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:42,100
I am not going let
Mr. Gorpley ruin

188
00:10:42,133 --> 00:10:44,233
the best Christmas party
of all time.

189
00:10:44,266 --> 00:10:45,600
Hah! Let me..

190
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:51,433
[speaking in Danish accent]
Yah, who is there?

191
00:10:51,466 --> 00:10:54,400
(Harriette)
'It's Harriette
and I'm ready to party.'

192
00:10:54,433 --> 00:10:55,400
It's Harriette.

193
00:10:55,433 --> 00:10:56,400
(together)
Oh!

194
00:10:56,433 --> 00:10:58,166
[chuckles]
Harriette.

195
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,200
Come on in.
Merry Christmas.

196
00:11:01,233 --> 00:11:02,366
[indistinct chattering]

197
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,566
‐ Hi, nice to see you.
‐ Come on in.

198
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:08,366
Everybody just
throw your coats off

199
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,233
and put your presents down.

200
00:11:10,266 --> 00:11:11,800
And go help yourselves
to some eggnog.

201
00:11:11,833 --> 00:11:14,200
And let us know
if there's too much nog.

202
00:11:14,233 --> 00:11:15,200
[knocking on door]

203
00:11:15,233 --> 00:11:17,500
Shh.

204
00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:18,433
Cousin..

205
00:11:20,766 --> 00:11:24,733
[speaking in Spanish accent]
Hola. Who is it?

206
00:11:26,333 --> 00:11:29,566
(Lydia)
'Ramone? Is that you?'

207
00:11:30,566 --> 00:11:31,733
It's Lydia.

208
00:11:31,766 --> 00:11:35,066
‐ Oh!
‐ It's Lydia.

209
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:37,400
Come on in.

210
00:11:37,433 --> 00:11:41,066
Ooh! Larry. Muy macho.

211
00:11:42,133 --> 00:11:43,133
Feliz navidad.

212
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:44,700
[laughs]

213
00:11:44,733 --> 00:11:46,533
Lydia, Lydia,
so good to see you.

214
00:11:46,566 --> 00:11:49,666
Come, sit down.
Take off your wrap.

215
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:52,066
Thank heavens! Now, sit down..

216
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,300
[knocking on door]

217
00:11:53,333 --> 00:11:54,766
Shh.

218
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,766
Cousin, would you..

219
00:11:59,666 --> 00:12:02,466
[speaking in British accent]
And who might that be?

220
00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:05,300
(Mary Anne)
'Oh, sorry, we must have
the wrong apartment.'

221
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:06,700
No, no, no, it's Mary Anne.

222
00:12:06,733 --> 00:12:09,733
‐ Oh.
‐ Mary Anne.

223
00:12:09,766 --> 00:12:12,333
Hi, Jennifer, come on in.

224
00:12:12,366 --> 00:12:15,033
Merry Christmas.
You look...beautiful.

225
00:12:15,066 --> 00:12:15,800
‐ What's this?
‐ Mwah..

226
00:12:15,833 --> 00:12:17,033
‐ Hey, come on..
‐ Oh.

227
00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:20,466
Come on in.

228
00:12:21,566 --> 00:12:24,500
Balki, what is going on?

229
00:12:24,533 --> 00:12:27,433
Well, cousin Larry's having
a nervous break dance.

230
00:12:27,466 --> 00:12:29,333
Because..

231
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,100
...just because I invited
someone to the party

232
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:37,033
who is a little less fortunate
than we are.

233
00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:39,566
Huh, real classy, Larry.

234
00:12:43,533 --> 00:12:44,766
Well, that's very nice,
Balki.

235
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,433
Now what's this guy's name?

236
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:48,166
‐ Mr. Gorpley.
‐ Goodnight everybody.

237
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,700
[clamoring]

238
00:12:49,733 --> 00:12:52,300
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

239
00:12:52,333 --> 00:12:55,433
Now, just because he's invited

240
00:12:55,466 --> 00:12:58,133
doesn't mean we have to
let him in.

241
00:12:59,733 --> 00:13:02,066
When he knocks on the door,
we'll all be quiet

242
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:04,666
and he'll think
he's got the wrong apartment.

243
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,300
I can't believe this.
No one can be that bad.

244
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:08,733
The man's a sleaze ball.

245
00:13:08,766 --> 00:13:11,066
[clamoring]

246
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:14,300
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

247
00:13:14,333 --> 00:13:16,633
Mr. Gorpley is not popular.

248
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:18,333
I get that.

249
00:13:18,366 --> 00:13:20,733
And I'm in an okay place
about it.

250
00:13:22,233 --> 00:13:24,466
But let me just say this.

251
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:26,700
I invited him to this house

252
00:13:26,733 --> 00:13:29,666
and when he comes here,
I'm going to let him in.

253
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:30,666
[knocking on door]

254
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:31,500
Shh.

255
00:13:31,533 --> 00:13:34,800
(Mr. Gorpley)
'Bartokomous, Appleton?'

256
00:13:34,833 --> 00:13:35,700
Oh, what the..

257
00:13:38,433 --> 00:13:39,533
(Mr. Gorpley)
'I know you're in there.'

258
00:13:39,566 --> 00:13:43,366
'This has happened before,
you know.'

259
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,533
This happened last year at
Lydia's birthday party.

260
00:13:45,566 --> 00:13:47,233
We tried to outwait him.

261
00:13:47,266 --> 00:13:49,166
We sat in the dark
for four hours

262
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,333
listening to the man
pound on the door.

263
00:13:51,366 --> 00:13:52,766
(Mr. Gorpley)
'It was five hours,

264
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,400
and I brought a sleeping bag
this time.'

265
00:13:58,733 --> 00:14:01,166
I guess we're gonna
have to let him in.

266
00:14:06,166 --> 00:14:07,600
Well, now I'm disheveled.

267
00:14:10,833 --> 00:14:12,300
Now look, everyone.

268
00:14:12,333 --> 00:14:14,133
You're gonna see that I'm right.

269
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,100
Deep down inside Mr. Gorpley

270
00:14:18,133 --> 00:14:21,400
there is an ember
of the Christmas spirit.

271
00:14:21,433 --> 00:14:23,766
And if we just treat him
with some kindness

272
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,200
I think we can
fan it into a flame.

273
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:29,466
Good. I'll get the matches.

274
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,333
Harriette, you don't mean that.

275
00:14:35,366 --> 00:14:38,466
Now, look, how about
when we open the door

276
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:41,466
we give him a really
beautiful "Merry Christmas"?

277
00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:43,100
A really good one.

278
00:14:46,333 --> 00:14:49,300
(all)
Merry Christmas!

279
00:14:49,333 --> 00:14:52,266
Mmm, how festive.

280
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,066
Looks like Kris Kringle threw up

281
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:55,400
all over your living room.

282
00:15:03,666 --> 00:15:06,600
[instrumental music]

283
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:13,300
Having a good time, Mr. Gorpley?

284
00:15:13,333 --> 00:15:15,633
Mmm, better than a poke
in the eye with a sharp stick.

285
00:15:15,666 --> 00:15:17,133
[laughs]

286
00:15:20,133 --> 00:15:23,533
Ho‐ho‐ho.

287
00:15:23,566 --> 00:15:27,266
Merry Christmas.
It's Balki Claus.

288
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,433
It's present time. Present time.

289
00:15:33,466 --> 00:15:36,300
[all cheering]

290
00:15:36,333 --> 00:15:39,133
You must have all been
good little boys and girls

291
00:15:39,166 --> 00:15:43,233
because...Balki Claus
has presents for all of you.

292
00:15:43,266 --> 00:15:44,233
[all laughing]

293
00:15:44,266 --> 00:15:46,400
'Okay.'

294
00:15:46,433 --> 00:15:49,233
This one is for
Harriette from Lydia.

295
00:15:49,266 --> 00:15:51,800
(all)
Open it.

296
00:15:51,833 --> 00:15:53,733
Alright, alright.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.

297
00:15:53,766 --> 00:15:56,100
Let's check,
let's check it out.

298
00:15:56,133 --> 00:16:01,033
‐ Oh, thank you.
‐ That's real nice, Lydia.

299
00:16:01,066 --> 00:16:03,466
They're givin' 'em away at the
gas station with every fill up.

300
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:14,500
This one is
"To Lydia from Harriette."

301
00:16:14,533 --> 00:16:19,333
(all)
Open it. Open it. Open it.

302
00:16:19,366 --> 00:16:21,166
Oh, it's the new

303
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,600
"Nora True Blood
Adam's Mystery."

304
00:16:23,633 --> 00:16:26,300
‐ I've been dying to read this.
‐ I know. I know.

305
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:28,666
I'll save you 600 pages.
The Countess did it.

306
00:16:32,066 --> 00:16:34,433
Why don't we see if he can
swallow this side ways!

307
00:16:34,466 --> 00:16:36,800
[clamoring]

308
00:16:36,833 --> 00:16:39,400
Harriette, Harriette,
sit down, please.

309
00:16:39,433 --> 00:16:40,600
'Sit down please.'

310
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,600
This is not Geraldo.

311
00:16:49,433 --> 00:16:52,333
Now, let me see here.

312
00:16:52,366 --> 00:16:58,033
This one is "To Jennifer, from
Mary Anne, your roommate."

313
00:16:58,066 --> 00:17:00,066
‐ Oh.
‐ 'Open it.'

314
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,733
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

315
00:17:01,766 --> 00:17:07,100
This one is
"To Jennifer from Larry."

316
00:17:07,133 --> 00:17:08,766
‐ 'Open it.'
‐ Open it.

317
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,633
Wait, wait, wait,
open mine first.

318
00:17:16,566 --> 00:17:19,200
[all gasp]

319
00:17:19,233 --> 00:17:20,700
(Jennifer)
'Oh, Mary Anne. This is lovely.'

320
00:17:20,733 --> 00:17:22,666
But this must have
cost you a fortune.

321
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:26,200
It did, $29.95.

322
00:17:26,233 --> 00:17:29,433
Wow. I've seen 'em for
a hundred and a quarter.

323
00:17:29,466 --> 00:17:32,100
[laughing]

324
00:17:32,133 --> 00:17:34,166
Why don't you open up
the present from Appleton?

325
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,733
‐ I'm dying to see what that is.
‐ 'Oh.'

326
00:17:36,766 --> 00:17:39,000
This isn't really the‐the time.

327
00:17:41,766 --> 00:17:45,200
Oh, gee, thanks, Larry.

328
00:17:45,233 --> 00:17:48,300
This is, this is really nice.

329
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:51,333
You know, you just can't have
too many of these.

330
00:17:52,733 --> 00:17:55,266
Yeah. Good move, Appleton.

331
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,000
Boy, I bet
you feel like a real jerk.

332
00:18:02,233 --> 00:18:03,600
Alright, that's it.
You're out of here.

333
00:18:03,633 --> 00:18:06,566
[clamoring]

334
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,800
Wait a minute!

335
00:18:14,833 --> 00:18:15,633
Don't you see
what's happening?

336
00:18:15,666 --> 00:18:19,166
'Yeah! We're taking out
the trash!'

337
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:29,133
Give him back.
Let us have him.

338
00:18:31,333 --> 00:18:36,266
You've turned into
a Christmas mob.

339
00:18:36,300 --> 00:18:37,766
Well, he's been
askin' for it all night.

340
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,566
And we're gonna give it to him.

341
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,333
[clamoring]

342
00:18:40,366 --> 00:18:42,233
Listen to me.

343
00:18:42,266 --> 00:18:44,766
You don't want to hurt anybody.

344
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,133
Especially on Christmas Eve.

345
00:18:49,433 --> 00:18:53,566
Oh, relax, Bartokomous.
These people can't hurt me.

346
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:54,700
You think by
throwin' me out of here

347
00:18:54,733 --> 00:18:56,366
you're gonna spoil
my Christmas?

348
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,433
Hey, I've had rotten
Christmas' before.

349
00:19:00,466 --> 00:19:02,133
Like the one, uh,
three years ago.

350
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:03,333
When my wife said

351
00:19:03,366 --> 00:19:05,666
"Merry Christmas.
I'm divorcing you."

352
00:19:08,666 --> 00:19:11,700
Or how about that one
when I was in high school?

353
00:19:11,733 --> 00:19:15,100
And I finally met
my real father.

354
00:19:15,133 --> 00:19:18,566
And he stuck around long
enough to have a drumstick

355
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,366
and steal all the money
that I had saved for college.

356
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,066
Or there was always
the one when I was eight

357
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:28,533
and our trailer burnt down.

358
00:19:28,566 --> 00:19:30,800
No, no, no, wait a minute,
wait a minute, no.

359
00:19:30,833 --> 00:19:33,666
That was a good Christmas.

360
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:36,433
I got to sleep in a real bed..

361
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:38,366
...at the Red Cross.

362
00:19:41,133 --> 00:19:43,633
So don't worry about me
getting hurt on Christmas.

363
00:19:43,666 --> 00:19:46,000
It's not going to happen.

364
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,266
But it wouldn't be Christmas
if somebody didn't try.

365
00:19:52,666 --> 00:19:54,566
Happy holidays.

366
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,333
No, now, now, that's,
that's okay, that's enough.

367
00:19:58,366 --> 00:20:00,766
Come and sit over here.
Come and sit down.

368
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,466
We, we‐we can't let you go.

369
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,166
We‐we, we haven't finished
opening the presents.

370
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,366
I'm sure you can
handle that without me.

371
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,366
No, we can't because,
because, uh..

372
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,366
...one of the presents
is for you.

373
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,600
Oh, what? Come on.
For me, a present?

374
00:20:19,633 --> 00:20:22,266
‐ Get real, Bartokomous.
‐ I have never been realer.

375
00:20:25,666 --> 00:20:28,200
I believe that this
is your name on the tag.

376
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,400
"To Mr. Gorpley.

377
00:20:32,433 --> 00:20:37,100
Have a Merry Christmas.
From your friend...Balki"

378
00:20:42,833 --> 00:20:46,033
Open it, open it.

379
00:20:56,366 --> 00:20:59,066
Balki, that was a gift
from your mama.

380
00:21:03,433 --> 00:21:06,033
Why are you giving this to me?

381
00:21:06,066 --> 00:21:09,033
I thought it meant a lot to you.

382
00:21:09,066 --> 00:21:11,200
It does mean a lot to me.

383
00:21:11,233 --> 00:21:13,300
It's a gift of love.

384
00:21:13,333 --> 00:21:16,133
And my mother taught me
that a gift of love

385
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:19,433
has to go to the one
who needs it the most.

386
00:21:19,466 --> 00:21:21,500
And right now, that's you.

387
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:25,000
I‐I don't have a gift to you.

388
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,300
Yes, you do.

389
00:21:28,333 --> 00:21:30,800
If, if you take my gift

390
00:21:30,833 --> 00:21:33,133
then you're giving me a gift.

391
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,133
[instrumental music]

392
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,066
Nothing like this
has ever happened to me.

393
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:50,400
I don't know what to say.

394
00:21:50,433 --> 00:21:53,500
Nobody's ever...given me a gift

395
00:21:53,533 --> 00:21:56,066
that meant something before.

396
00:21:58,366 --> 00:22:00,433
[sighing]

397
00:22:00,466 --> 00:22:03,133
I feel, uh, kind of strange.

398
00:22:04,433 --> 00:22:08,066
Sort of, uh...warm.

399
00:22:11,433 --> 00:22:13,566
Like I'm almost starting
to like you people.

400
00:22:16,566 --> 00:22:20,166
What you're feeling
is the Christmas spirit.

401
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,766
Do you feel this every
Christmas?

402
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,466
Except for Balki.

403
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,066
He feels like this every day.

404
00:22:32,666 --> 00:22:37,366
‐ Merry Christmas, Mr. Gorpley.
‐ Merry Christmas, Sam.

405
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,500
‐ Merry Christmas.
‐ Merry Christmas.

406

(all)
Merry Christmas.

407
00:22:40,666 --> 00:22:43,633
I'm sorry I tried
to lock you out, Mr. Gorpley.

408
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,566
I would have done the
same thing in your place.

409
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,033
Uh, M‐Merry Christmas, Appleton.

410
00:22:54,433 --> 00:22:56,066
