I wonder who
started
this tradition.
13
00:00:26,283 --> 00:00:28,366
Probably Ocean Spray.

Well, that's why
we're moving it up a day.

00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:41,216
I want it to be
very special this year,
180
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:44,500
so I told my personal shopper
to pull out all the stops.
181
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:45,266
And that's another thing.
182
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:47,350
This woman doesn't
know our kids.
183
00:06:47,383 --> 00:06:50,133
A personal shopper
is so impersonal,
184
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:52,660
although
not a bad career choice.
185
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,283
Well, I have
an interesting idea.

During those many hours
when the children

are away at school,
Yeah?
188
00:07:00,133 --> 00:07:02,150
and you basically
have nothing to do...
189
00:07:02,183 --> 00:07:04,333
I fill my days.

00:07:04,366 --> 00:07:06,383

Well, that's not the worst idea.
193
00:07:09,433 --> 00:07:11,133
I mean, you'd know
what they want.
194
00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:13,450
Don't you want to pick out
your own presents?
195
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,200
Oh, Mr. Sheffield,
if it were me,
196
00:07:15,233 --> 00:07:16,466
I would much
rather
get a gift
197
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,216
that you
personally
picked out.
198
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:22,133
A gift from the
heart
means so much more.
199
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:24,333
Well, I suppose
I could find time
200

to pop into FAO Schwarz.
201
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:28,350
Trust me, whatever
you pick out,

forever.

Are you putting
up
a stocking?
207
00:07:44,483 --> 00:07:46,383
No, I figured
I'd put up my panty hose.

already have one.

Well, half the fun
of owning a bicycle
271
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:23,466
is building it yourself.

00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,160

Oh, Mr. Sheffield,
290
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:11,116
that's more than generous.
291
00:11:12,233 --> 00:11:15,466

just how much I deserve this.

301
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,250
I gave it
a lot of
thought,
302
00:11:38,283 --> 00:11:40,000
picked it out myself.

00:11:55,416 --> 00:11:59,330
Niles, will you come visit me
in debtor's prison?
307
00:11:59,660 --> 00:12:00,233
Miss Fine, you
should
be flattered
308
00:12:00,266 --> 00:12:02,216
that Mr.
Sheffield
got you a gift.
309
00:12:02,250 --> 00:12:05,160
I've never known him
to give a staff member
anything but a check.
310
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,216
Well, who the hell
needed that distinction?
311
00:12:08,366 --> 00:12:10,283
You know, it really
is
a lovely vase.
312
00:12:10,316 --> 00:12:13,266
Gorgeous, but will it fit
through an automated teller?
313
00:12:14,366 --> 00:12:17,366
Niles...if you ever
catch me shopping again,
314
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,250
I want you to just slap me
upside the head.

Already?
Oh, I just love it.

00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:33,300
You didn't cut
the tag off, did you?
321
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:34,400
Yes. Why?
322
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:36,383
Oh! Oh...
323
00:12:36,416 --> 00:12:39,116
That's okay, that's okay.
I got the receipt.

I love it.
325
00:12:41,266 --> 00:12:42,266
No, you don't.
326
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:43,433
Yes, I do,
because you gave it to me.
327
00:12:43,466 --> 00:12:45,400
Remember what you said?
"A gift from the heart..."
328
00:12:45,433 --> 00:12:50,160
Oh... All right.
Wear it in good
health.
329
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:51,830
Go.
330
00:12:55,116 --> 00:12:57,830
Now what am I going to do?
331
00:12:57,116 --> 00:12:59,316
That offer to lend you the money
still stands.
332
00:12:59,350 --> 00:13:02,200
Oh, Niles,
I consider you my friend,
333
00:13:02,233 --> 00:13:04,333
so I'll be frank--
I'm not good for it.
334
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,216
But it is
a perfect piece
335
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:08,200
to start one's
personal art collection.
336
00:13:08,233 --> 00:13:11,383
Thanks. This should
go great next to my limbo
trophy from Club Med.

VENDOR: Haven't you got
something I can unload?
338
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,283
A VCR, a nice
semi-automatic weapon?
339
00:13:21,316 --> 00:13:24,150
Paulie, don't you know
a valuable antique
340
00:13:24,183 --> 00:13:25,366
when you see it?
341
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,160
This here is practically,
uh...

Elizabeth Taylor?
343
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,283
No, Liz the queen.
344
00:13:32,316 --> 00:13:34,466
No can do. If you said
Elizabeth Montgomery,
345
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,100
you know,Bewitched,
then I could move it.
346
00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:39,830
Paulie, will you please
buy the vase?
347
00:13:39,116 --> 00:13:41,116
The woman owes the world.
She's desperate.
348
00:13:41,150 --> 00:13:42,316
We'll take anything.
349
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:44,216
And that, Val,
350
