♪ I'LL HAVE A BLUE CHRISTMAS
♪ WITHOUT YOU
♪ I'LL BE SO BLUE...
[MARY CHERRY] REMEMBER HOW I INVITED EVERYBODY TO MY HOLIDAY VILLA
WHERE SHANIA TWAIN WOULD SERENADE US WITH SECULAR CHRISTMAS SONGS
WEARING SLUTTISH AND INAPPROPRIATE OUTFITS?
- YEAH. - WELL, FORGET IT.
I CAN'T JET SET AND EAT SUCKLING PIG WITH SHANIA
WHILE JOE SPENDS THE HOLIDAY RECEIVING RED AND GREEN JELL-O THROUGH AN IV DRIP.
HEY, GUYS.
- HEY. - WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
NOTHING, JUST A CASE OF THE CHRISTMAS BLUES.
- WHERE'S BROOKE? - SHE'S GETTING TESTED
TO SEE IF SHE'S A BONE MARROW MATCH.
HARRISON'S DRUGS AREN'T WORKING,
AND THE DOCTORS THINK THAT A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
MAY BE HIS BEST SHOT AT BEATING HIS LEUKEMIA.
ISN'T THAT ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL OPERATIONS THERE IS?
WHAT'S MORE PAINFUL, GETTING PROBED BY A NEEDLE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS,
OR POSSIBLY LOSING SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN'T REPLACE?
[BOTH] WORD.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT, HARRISON.
IT'S THE UGLIEST, CHEAPEST-ASSED TREE I'VE EVER SEEN.
OKAY.
BEST A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS MOMENT.
WHEN LINUS COMES OUT AND RECITES
HIS "MEANING OF CHRISTMAS" SPEECH.
HANDS DOWN.
BEST CHRISTMAS MOMENT IN YOUR OWN LIFE?
I WAS EIGHT.
OBSESSED WITH LITTLE LEAGUE.
I SUCKED.
BUT I WANTED TO BE GOOD SO BADLY.
I'D BEEN PESTERING MY DAD FOR MONTHS
FOR A SPALDING GLOVE, A BATTING TEE.
THEN I CAME DOWNSTAIRS THAT MORNING...
AND THERE THEY WERE, UNDER THE TREE.
THE BEST PART ABOUT IT IS,
WHAT?
I ASKED MY DAD,
"COULD WE GO TO THE PARK NOW? I WANT TO PRACTICE."
AND HE SAYS, VERY UNLIKE HIM,
"SURE, SON."
HE TOOK ME OUT THERE IN MY PAJAMAS,
AND WE PLAYED UNTIL DINNERTIME.
THAT WAS A GREAT DAY.
OKAY. YOUR TURN. BEST CHRISTMAS.
I WAS TEN.
MY SISTER WAS 12.
MY DAD DIED WHEN I WAS A BABY, SO IT WAS ALWAYS MY MOM AND US.
SHE WORKED THREE JOBS,
BUT EVERY CHRISTMAS MORNING, WE'D WAKE HER UP AT DAWN.
- OH. - FIRST, WE'D UNWRAP OUR GIFTS.
THIS ONE YEAR, SIX YEARS AGO,
WE DECIDED TO CHANGE THE TRADITION.
- WHAT DID YOU DO? - MY SIS AND I GOT UP EARLY,
AND MADE WAFFLES IN THE SHAPE OF THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
IT'S RETARDED, BUT IT'S EFFECTIVE.
WE SERVED MOM BREAKFAST IN BED,
AND GAVE HER HER PRESENT.
A DIAMOND RING.
IT WAS CUBIC ZIRCONIUM.
WE SAVED UP AND BOUGHT IT OFF QVC.
- I'LL BET SHE LOVED IT. - YEAH.
IT'S THE ONLY TIME SHE EVER BROKE DOWN AND CRIED IN FRONT OF US.
SHE JUST HUGGED US, AND...
ATE THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM WAFFLES, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BURNT.
I THINK ABOUT THAT MORNING A LOT.
HEY, ARE YOUR MOM AND SISTER COMING HERE FOR CHRISTMAS?
'CAUSE RUMOR HAS IT, THE CAFETERIA'S SERVING TURKEY,
SO YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE TERRIBLE.
CLARENCE?
QUIT FOOLING AROUND.
HIS HEART STOPPED.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT NURSE DAN SAID.
HE JUST COULDN'T TAKE ANY MORE TREATMENTS.
HIS BODY GAVE UP.
HE COULDN'T FIND A BONE MARROW DONOR, EITHER. NO MATCH.
I KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS FOR YOU, HONEY,
BUT I WAS TALKING TO CLARENCE'S MOM THIS MORNING,
AND SHE SAID, EVEN THOUGH IT'S HARD LOSING HIM,
SHE WAS REALLY THANKFUL FOR THE TIME HE HAD.
AND SHE SAID THAT UNTIL HE GOT SICK,
HE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE.
OF COURSE SHE SAID THAT.
IT'D BE NICE TO BELIEVE IT, BUT IT'S A LIE.
NOTHING MAKES ANY SENSE. NOTHING MATTERS. IT'S ALL RANDOM CRAP.
HARRISON,
WHAT ABOUT GOD?
THAT PERSON THAT I THOUGHT I MET
WAS OBVIOUSLY JUST SOME WHACKED ESCAPEE FROM THE PSYCHO WARD, OKAY?
I'LL NEVER PRAY AGAIN. THAT'S JUST WASTED BREATH.
YOU'RE BORN, YOU SEARCH FOR A MEANING,
AND YOU END UP UNDERSTANDING NOTHING,
YET FEELING LOTS OF PAIN.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS.
AND, IN THE END, ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU IS A BOX.
A BOX FULL OF MEANINGLESS MEMENTOS
THAT SOMEBODY ELSE HAS TO CLEAN UP,
AND GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE NEXT MEANINGLESS LIFE THEY ROLL IN.
UP AND AT 'EM, HARRISON. BEDSORE PATROL TIME.
COME ON. MOVE AROUND, GET THE CIRCULATION GOING.
- WHAT'S THE POINT? - POINT IS, YOUR BEST BUDDY HERE DIED.
YOU FEEL BAD? I GET IT. LIFE HAS TO GO ON, HARRISON.
YOU HAVE TO GO ON WITH IT.
- HE'D WANT YOU TO. - WOULD YOU TRY IT FOR ME?
OKAY. YOU KNOW THE DRILL, BUDDY.
WALK TO THE END OF THE HALLWAY, THEN BACK.
I'LL HELP YOU.
- I CAN'T DO IT. - YOU HAVE TO.
- JUST THINK OF IT AS... - ...A METAPHOR FOR THE JOURNEY I'M ON.
THE JOURNEY STARTS WITH A SINGLE STEP. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
IT'S BULL. THE JOURNEY MEANS NOTHING.
- TAKE ME BACK TO MY ROOM. - HARRISON.
- PLEASE TRY. - I AM TIRED, OKAY?
AND I HURT, AND MY FRIEND IS GONE.
AND I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE.
I HURT, AND I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.
IT'S OKAY.
TRY AGAIN LATER.
YOU'RE EIGHT YEARS TOO LATE, DAD.
WHAT BROUGHT YOU BACK? GUILT?
THE FACT THAT YOU WALKED OUT ON MOM AND ME AND NEVER SENT A DIME?
I HATE YOU. I HATE THAT YOU MISSED EVERY CHRISTMAS
I EVER HAD.
I HATE THAT YOU'RE NOT HERE WHEN I'M SICK. NOT EVEN A CARD, DAD.
I KNOW YOU HAVE ANOTHER KID NOW.
YOU PLAY CATCH WITH HIM? HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT STORY I MADE UP FOR CLARENCE?
GOOD ONE, RIGHT? YOU NEVER PLAYED BALL WITH ME, NEVER EVEN GOT ME A GLOVE.
I HAD TO MAKE UP THE WONDERFUL TIMES IN MY LIFE.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY.
[DISTANT GIRLS' VOICE] HARRISON, WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.
[LILY] HARRISON... YOU LOOK GREAT.
THANKS, ZUZU.
- WHY DOES HE KEEP CALLING ME ZUZU? - 'CAUSE HE'S DELIRIOUS.
[CARMEN] IT'S THE DRUG THERAPY. JUST BE YOURSELF.
[SPEAKING LOUDLY] HARRISON, IT'S ME, ZUZU.
I BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT.
BUDDAH BEADS.
A POSITIVE HARBINGER OF CHANGE.
I'M JUST GONNA STICK THEM IN YOUR ROBE POCKET
SO THE ENERGY RADIATES THROUGH YOUR CHAKRAS.
YOU ARE ONE WEIRD, GENEROUS CHICK.
HEY.
WE GOT THAT AT AN ANTIQUE SHOP.
THE BEST PART IS WE GOT EIGHT OF THE LITTLE FURBALLS,
AND NAMED THEM AFTER EACH ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU CAN LOOK OVER, AND WHEN YOUR FRIENDS AREN'T HERE,
IN A WEIRD WAY THEY ARE.
[BROOKE] HARRISON...
NEITHER OF US IS A BONE MARROW MATCH.
BUT WE HAVEN'T GIVEN UP.
WE PUT UP FLYERS, AND WE CREATED A WEBSITE. WE'RE GONNA FIND SOMEONE.
WHERE'S THE CLARENCE HAMSTER?
HE'S MY FRIEND TOO.
RIGHT.
HE'S GONE, AND INSTANTLY FORGOTTEN.
[HARRISON] WHEN PEOPLE DIE, IT'S JUST LIKE THEY WERE NEVER HERE.
- IT'S INEVITABLE. - [SAM] WE'RE SORRY.
WE WILL GO OUT RIGHT NOW AND GET THE CLARENCE. OKAY?
I THINK I'D LIKE TO BE ALONE. YOU GUYS GO HOME. IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.
[CLARENCE] I WOULDN'T DO THAT IF I WERE YOU.
HEY. THIS ISN'T LIKE SUPERMAN COMICS.
YOU DON'T JUMP AND FLY, MY FRIEND. YOU JUMP, YOU GO SPLAT.
CLARENCE?
- IS THAT YOU? - YEP.
I SKIPPED THE CREMATION.
YOU'RE NOT HERE. YOU'RE DEAD.
- THE MEDICINE'S MAKING ME HALLUCINATE. - NO, HARRISON, I'M REAL.
I'M YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL.
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
WELL, KINDA. I'M AN ANGEL IN TRAINING.
I DON'T GET MY WINGS UNLESS I SAVE YOU, SO...
FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID AND RUIN MY CAREER.
DON'T TALK ME OUT OF IT. I'M CAUSING TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
MY FRIENDS ARE A WRECK.
MY MOM'S GOING BANKRUPT
BECAUSE SHE CAN'T PAY THE MEDICAL BILLS THE LOUSY HMO WON'T COVER.
IS ALL THIS DRAMA STEMMING FROM THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T GET A HAMSTER?
- 'CAUSE I'M NOT TAKING IT PERSONALLY. - YOU SHOULD.
DON'T YOU GET IT, CLARENCE? NOBODY MATTERS.
GIVE ME YOUR HAND.
- LET'S SEE A MOVIE. I'LL BUY A HAMSTER. - STAY AWAY.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BONE MARROW MATCH. I'M GONNA DIE ANYWAY,
IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.
- I JUST WANT TO CUT TO THE INEVITABLE. - LISTEN, BUDDY,
I GOTTA WARN YOU, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO FALLING.
WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE? I'D BE BETTER OFF DEAD.
I WISH...
I WISH I WERE NEVER BORN.
CLARENCE?
WHERE AM I?
I JUMPED.
- BUT I'M NOT... - DEAD?
NO. HOW COULD YOU BE? YOU WISHED YOU WERE NEVER BORN,
AND YOU WEREN'T.
- WHAT CITY ARE WE IN? - LOS ANGELES.
THE YEAR'S 2012. TWELVE YEARS FROM WHERE YOU LEFT OFF.
I KNEW IT. I'M HALLUCINATING.
SEE, IT DOESN'T SNOW IN LOS ANGELES.
IT DOES NOW. YEAR ROUND.
YOU'RE LYING. THIS IS A DREAM.
I USED TO EXIST ONCE. I CAN...
ZUZU'S BUDDHA BEADS AREN'T THERE, ARE THEY?
DUDE, JUST TRUST ME ON THIS.
YOU NEVER HAPPENED.
THIS USED TO BE CHRISTMAS LANE, DIDN'T IT?
YES, UNTIL ENTREPRENEUR APRIL TUNA BOUGHT IT FIVE YEARS AGO,
AND TURNED IT INTO A FISH MARKET.
APRIL TUNA, A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSWOMAN?
- I DON'T THINK SO. - YOU NEED TO TRUST.
YOU NEED TO SEE THE IMPACT ONE PERSON CAN MAKE ON THE WORLD.
LISTEN, MINIMUM WAGE EARNERS, I WANT THOSE MACKERELS GUTTED QUICKER.
TIME IS MONEY, GOT IT?
MOVE, OR YOU'LL BE FORCED TO SEND YOUR TODDLERS TO MY FISH EMULSION SHOP
TO KEEP FOOD ON YOUR TABLES.
- HOW DID SHE GET THIS WAY? - ASK HER YOURSELF.
- YOU BREAK IT, YOU BUY IT. - APRIL, IT'S ME. IT'S HARRISON.
I DON'T KNOW ANY HARRISONS. SCRAM.
YOU'RE SO CRUEL TO PEOPLE. DIDN'T YOU LEARN SKILLS
WHEN YOU WERE STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT?
WHAT IS THIS? CANDID CAMERA?
I DIDN'T WIN THAT RACE. THE YEAR I RAN FOR PRESIDENT, BROOKE McQUEEN WON,
CAUSING ME WEEKS OF COLITIS AND DASTARDLY DESTROYED HOPES.
NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, NOSY BUTT-FACED STRANGER,
I HAVE AN EMPIRE TO RUN.
SEE THE EFFECT A MAN CAN HAVE ON ANOTHER PERSON, HARRISON.
WHEN YOU WITHDREW FROM THE RACE, YOU CAUSED BROOKE TO WITHDRAW.
APRIL FINALLY GOT HER MOMENT IN THE SUN.
HER RUTHLESS AMBITION WAS CLEANSED FOREVER WHEN SHE TASTED POWER.
SHE DIDN'T NEED TO SEEK IT OUT AS AN ADULT
AND MAKE OTHERS PAY FOR HER HIGH-SCHOOL DEFEAT.
THIS IS STUPID.
IF I HAD AN EFFECT ON ANYBODY, MY ACTIONS WERE SMALL.
THEY WERE NEVER HEROIC ENOUGH TO CAUSE CHANGE.
A MAN OR A WOMAN NEVER KNOWS
WHAT THE LATER EFFECTS OF THEIR SMALL ACTIONS WILL BE.
I WAS JUST A TEENAGER. I COULDN'T AFFECT ANYBODY.
WHO WE ARE AS ADULTS IS DETERMINED BY WHO WE ARE AS TEENAGERS.
FOR INSTANCE, A PROMISCUOUS TEEN WILL OFTEN BECOME A FULL-ON WHORE
ONCE THEY REACH ADULTHOOD.
MARY CHERRY AND NICOLE ARE WHORES?
- I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. - FOLLOW ME.
- LADIES. - HEY, FELLAS. WANT A DATE?
DIME A DANCE?
MY, MY, LOOKS LIKE WE GOT OURSELVES A BIG SPENDER.
IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SPEND A DIME, I'D BE MUCH OBLIGED.
YEAH, WE USUALLY CHARGE A PENNY. WE'RE WORTH EVERY CENT.
HUSH YOUR MOUTH, OKAY? I NEEDS THE EXTRA NINE BRASS.
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MY TWO FRONT TEETH,
AND THAT'S GONNA COST PLENTY OF DEAD PRESIDENTS.
MARY CHERRY, NICOLE. STOP THIS. IT'S ME. IT'S HARRISON.
- HARRISON WHO? - HARRISON JOHN.
THE ONLY PART OF THAT THAT SOUNDS FAMILIAR IS THE "JOHN" PART.
HAND OVER THAT PENNY. I'VE GOT FIVE CRACK BABIES TO FEED.
DAMN, WOMAN. PUT IN YOUR TEETH.
I'M SORRY, SUGAR DADDY, I LOST THEM.
MARY CHERRY, I AIN'T GONNA HAVE MY HO'S KEEPING LIKE LEON SPINKS.
SUGAR.
- YOU'RE A PIMP? - WHO ARE YOU? VICE?
NO, GOD, NO.
IT'S ME. IT'S HARRISON. I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH YOU GUYS.
I NEVER SEEN YOU OR MET YOU, AND I DON'T GIVE DISCOUNTS TO FRIENDS OR FOES.
PAY THE FULL PENNY, OR MOVE ALONG.
HOW DID THESE GIRLS WITH BRIGHT FUTURES
TURN INTO TOOTHLESS, PENNY-WHORES WITH MULLETS?
WITHOUT YOU, HARRISON, SPECIFICALLY,
YOUR INTERACTION WITH HER AT THE JUNIOR YEAR SKATING PARTY,
MARY CHERRY NEVER FELT THE TOUCH OF HUMAN KINDNESS.
SHE NEVER LOVED, OR FELT LOVE, AND AS A RESULT,
SOLD HER BODY TO EXPERIENCE AFFECTION THAT CAN NEVER BE GENUINE.
WHAT ABOUT NICOLE? I FEEL HORRIBLE ABOUT THIS.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.
NICOLE WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT THIS WAY EVEN IF YOU HAD LIVED.
IF I TOLD YOU SKANKS ONCE, I TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES,
- NO WHORES IN TUNAVILLE. - IF YOU'RE GONNA ROLL YOUR LAST HOOK-UP
AND SKIM OVER TO THE REUNION, LICKETY SPLIT, THINK AGAIN.
WE'RE ALL SHOWING UP TO REVEL IN OUR ADULT SUCCESSES,
NOT BRAG ABOUT OUR STD'S.
DISPERSE.
REUNION? WHAT REUNION?
SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. OUR TEN-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.
- PRAISE JESUS. - PRAISE HIS NAME.
LILY'S A FUNDAMENTALIST?
WHY'S SHE WEARING THAT FUR?
LOOK AT THIS.
I HAVE SUCH FOND MEMORIES OF THIS PLACE.
- HEY, JIM. - THOSE YOUNG REPUBLICAN MEETINGS
WERE A BLAST.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING. THAT'S NOT LILY.
WITHOUT YOU, LILY'D BE A DIFFERENT PERSON.
A REPUBLICAN, FUR-WEARER, A MOTHER AT 18.
MISTY DAWN, DID YOU FIND THE BATHROOM OKAY, HONEY?
YES. I HATE THIS PLACE.
I WANT TO GO HOME AND PLAY WITH MY BARBIES.
REMEMBER WHEN YOU AND LILY TRIED TO HAVE SEX YOUR SOPHOMORE YEAR?
IT WAS THE MOST HUMILIATING ENCOUNTER OF MY LIFE.
BUT THAT ENCOUNTER PROVED TO LILY THAT SEX WAS SACRED,
NOT TO BE GIVEN AWAY.
WITHOUT THAT TURNING POINT, SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT LESSON
UNTIL SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH THIS EVIL TELETUBBY AND IT WAS TOO LATE.
JOSH STUPIDLY IMPREGNATED HER SENIOR YEAR,
AND THEY GOT MARRIED INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE PROM.
WE'RE AT A REUNION NOW. I TOLD YOU THAT.
AND WE ALSO TOLD YOU THAT WE'RE PUBLIC PEOPLE NOW.
PUBLIC PEOPLE?
JOSH IS A JUNIOR CONGRESSMAN FROM CALIFORNIA.
- OH, NO. - BELIEVE ME, DUDE, IT GETS WORSE.
BEING A PUBLIC PERSON MEANS SMILING LIKE A PRETTY GIRL.
MR. ASS DADDY WATCHES PAY-PER-VIEW PORN.
- MR. ASS. I'VE SEEN HIM. - ONCE.
I DID IT ONE TIME. AND THEN I PRAYED.
LET'S PRAY FOR A FRIGGIN' BUFFET.
REMEMBER, DON'T GET DADDY IN TROUBLE.
THEN I WANT CANDY, AND TOYS...
WITHOUT YOU AS HER FAITHFUL ACTIVISM SOLDIER,
SHE FELT ALONE,
AND DESPAIRED THAT SINGULARLY, THE WORLD WAS UNCHANGEABLE.
SO, SHE ABANDONED HER ACTIVISM.
AND DROWNED HERSELF IN FURS AND REPUBLICANISM.
- DID SHE PUSH JOSH INTO POLITICS? - YES.
SHE GAVE UP HER ASPIRATIONS FOR ANOTHER. ALWAYS A BAD ROAD TO TAKE.
SHE PUSHED HIM MERCILESSLY. HE BECAME A CONGRESSMAN.
THAT'S HOW HE BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
- AW. - WHAT?
IT'S TOO TERRIBLE, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
NO, I HAVE TO KNOW. PLEASE, SHOW ME.
WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE WAR ROOM, HARRISON.
AND LOOK, THERE'S THE PERSON WHO DESTROYS THE WORLD.
- JOSH ENDS THE WORLD? HOW? - CHECK IT OUT.
I BROUGHT YOU FORWARD TO THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS.
GOOD NEWS, MR. PRESIDENT.
I'VE COME UP WITH OUR RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN SLOGAN.
- COOL. WHAT IS IT? - LET THEM EAT CAKE. [LAUGHS]
I LIKE IT. I THINK IT'S THE BOMB.
OH, MY GOD, I JUST NUKED RUSSIA!
IDIOT!
EVERYBODY, GET DOWN.
I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR ENDING CIVILIZATION?
I TOLD YOU, I HARDLY SPENT ANY TIME WITH JOSH.
EVERY LIFE HAS A SILENT RIPPLE EFFECT.
WITHOUT YOU TO KEEP HER INTEGRITY,
A CORRUPTED LILY CORRUPTED JOSH, AND THEN KABLOOEY.
YOU BLEW UP THE WORLD, MAN.
NO!
LOOK WHO IT IS.
- HEY. - JOSH, LILY, MISTY.
MR. S, HI. YOU REMEMBER JIMMY?
[LILY] YES, OF COURSE.
- HOW WAS THE HONEYMOON, JIM? - GREAT. HAVE YOU BEEN TO SANTORINI?
- [JOSH] NO. - IT'S BEAUTIFUL, AS IS MY BRIDE.
SHE GOT MARRIED.
AND NOT TO ME.
DON'T YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR LIFE?
SO YOU CAN TELL ME THEY GOT MARRIED BY LITTLE RICHARD,
ALL ARRANGED BY THAT MAID-OF-HONOR, BROOKE?
BROOKE WASN'T AT THEIR WEDDING.
WHAT, DID SHE HAVE A MODELING GIG?
HARRISON, BROOKE McQUEEN'S DEAD.
BROOKE.
SUCCUMBED HER SENIOR YEAR TO HER EATING DISORDER.
SHE'S HAVING HER VIEWING IN CHEMISTRY?
IT'S WHACKED, I KNOW, BUT IT'S WHAT SHE WANTED.
[THINKING] OH, BROOKY, IT'S JUST NOT FAIR.
YOU'RE THINNER THAN ME.
- I CAN HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS. - IT'S A GIFT FROM ME TO YOU.
- SHE'S NOT SAYING ANYTHING. - IT'S THE DRUGS.
SHE STARTED HEAVY REEFER USE THE DAY BROOKE DIED, TO TAKE HERSELF AWAY.
THE PATTERN OF SELF-MEDICATION CONTINUES,
LEADING TO DARK, TERRIBLE TURMOIL.
NO, SAM'S NOT LIKE THAT.
AND BROOKE IS STRONG. SHE'S TOO STRONG TO EVER CAUSE ALL THIS PAIN.
TOO BAD YOU WERE NEVER BORN. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PREVENTED THIS.
I CAN'T BEAR THIS ANYMORE. I DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THIS.
- OR HEAR IT. - YOU LOST THAT CHOICE WHEN YOU FELL.
THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO BE PAID.
THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE, HARRISON.
I DON'T REMEMBER THIS.
THIS HAPPENED WEEKS BEFORE YOU FELL.
YOU WERE OUT COLD, A BAD REACTION TO A NEW DRUG THERAPY.
BROOKE WAS STILL IN THE EATING DISORDER CLINIC.
DAD, I DON'T THINK HARRISON'S GONNA MAKE IT.
DO YOU THINK HE WANTS TO LIVE?
WHAT KIND OF A QUESTION IS THAT? OF COURSE.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE.
DO YOU, HONEY? THE NURSES TELL ME THAT YOU'RE HIDING FOOD,
THAT YOU'RE NOT COOPERATING. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DEATH WISH.
THIS IS DIFFERENT. HE HAS CANCER.
HARRISON HAS FOUGHT A TERRIFIC FIGHT.
IF YOU LOVE HIM, YOU WANT TO HONOR HIM,
THEN YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO THE SAME.
IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT THAT YOU CHANGED BROOKE FOREVER.
THIS WAS THE MOMENT THAT SHE VALUED THE IMPORTANCE AND SANCTITY OF LIFE,
AND STARTED TO GET BETTER FROM HER PROBLEMS.
IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU WERE UNCONSCIOUS AND NEVER KNEW THIS, ISN'T IT?
GET ME OUT OF THIS DAMN FUTURE LOOP. LEAVE ME ALONE.
NO CAN DO. THERE'S SO MUCH LEFT TO SEE.
HEY, CARM, I LOVE YOUR SHOES.
AND CONGRATULATIONS.
NOW BROOKY'S GONE, YOU'RE CAPTAIN OF THE GLAMAZONS.
I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT.
SURE, YOU CAN.
I'LL HELP YOU.
NO. CARMEN CAN'T BE CORRUPTED BY NICOLE.
CARMEN'S TOO SWEET AND NAIVE.
YOU AND BROOKE WERE ALWAYS HER MORAL GUIDEPOSTS.
WITH YOU GONE, THERE WAS ROOM FOR TEMPTATION.
DON'T LAY THIS ALL ON ME, ANGEL WANNABE. WHAT ABOUT SAM?
- OR LILY? - LILY WAS HIDING HER TEEN PREGNANCY.
SAM WAS OTHERWISE ENGAGED WITH A BONG.
THE ONLY PERSON WHO TOOK ON THE CAUSE OF CARMEN WAS NICOLE.
HI, CARMEN FERRARA. WELCOME BACK.
I THOUGHT I SMELLED FISH GUTS.
WHY AREN'T THEY SPEAKING TO EACH OTHER? THEY'RE FRIENDS.
NOT WITHOUT YOU AROUND.
YOU ALWAYS FELT WEIRD BEING SURROUNDED BY GIRLS,
BUT YOU WERE YOUR GROUP'S GLUE.
YOU WERE THE ONLY THING THEY ALL HAD IN COMMON.
WITHOUT YOU, THEY DRIFTED.
HEY, YOU GUYS.
- I SAID HEY. - WE'RE IGNORING YOU, SAM.
PERSONALLY, AS THE WIFE OF A POLITICIAN,
I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE HEADED FOR SCANDAL.
- WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? - [CARMEN] WE'VE ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE
MUMMY, MAY I SLEEP WITH DANGER, AND WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
YOU GUYS ARE WRONG. JIMMY IS MUCH BETTER THAN HE USED TO BE.
HIS TEMPER'S CALMED DOWN.
HE BEATS HER, DOESN'T HE?
- I'LL KILL HIM. - A REMINDER, YOU DON'T EXIST.
I CAN SEE A BRUISE, PLAIN AS DAY, UNDER YOUR RIGHT EYE.
[CARMEN] TRY SOME OF MY COVER-UP FROM MY COSMETICS LINE.
IT WILL EXPERTLY MASK THOSE BRUISES,
IF NOT THE SHAME.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU GUYS ANYMORE.
WHY DOESN'T SHE LEAVE HIM?
WHY DOESN'T SHE, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?
FEAR MAKES SOME PEOPLE RUN, OR JUMP.
IT ALSO MAKES OTHERS STAY.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU. I WANT TO DANCE.
I WANT TO GO HOME.
[SAM] YOU PROMISED YOU WEREN'T GONNA DRINK.
[JIMMY] I SAID I WANT TO STAY.
OKAY.
IF I'D BEEN BORN, COULD I HAVE PREVENTED THIS?
COULD I HAVE HELPED HER?
I CAN ONLY SHOW YOU YOUR LIFE UP UNTIL THE POINT YOU JUMPED.
I CAN'T SHOW YOU WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU HAD LIVED LONGER.
- I MIGHT GET DEMOTED TO LIMBO. - CLARENCE.
PLEASE.
- WHERE AM I? - THE YEAR 2003.
I'M GIVING YOU A SNEAK PREVIEW OF WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE
IF YOU HAD LIVED, EVEN THOUGH I'M GONNA GET SO BUSTED FOR THIS,
- IF SHE FINDS OUT. - I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, CLARENCE.
- WHAT AM I DOING? - IT'S SAM'S WEDDING DAY, HARRISON.
YOU TOLD HER NOT TO MARRY JIMMY; SHE TOLD YOU TO GO TO HELL.
- TYPICAL. SHE'S VERY STUBBORN. - BUT YOU WOULDN'T GIVE UP.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD WAIT TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.
THE WEDDING STARTED FIVE MINUTES AGO.
SHE MARRIED HIM.
SAM.
[HARRISON] SAM.
OVER HERE.
SAMMY.
- [HARRISON] GET IN. - SAM, WAIT.
[JIMMY] SAM, WAIT.
[MOTHER] SAMMY.
[JIMMY] WHERE'RE YOU GOING?
IF I WOULD HAVE LIVED, WOULD I MARRY HER?
[THUNDER RUMBLING]
OKAY. OKAY.
CHILL, I GOT IT. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY.
SHE SAID TO TELL YOU LIFE IS ABOUT FAITH AND SURPRISES.
WHAT KIND OF ANGEL ARE YOU? NO WINGS, HALF ANSWERS.
I TOLD YOU. DUDE, I'M AN ANGEL SECOND-CLASS.
I DON'T GET MY WINGS UNLESS I CONVINCE YOU THAT YOU MATTER.
NOW, I ASK YOU, BUDDY,
HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO LIVE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH SAM?
VERY EASILY, BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF FALSE HOPES,
AND ALMOST WINNING. YOU WON'T SHOW ME WHAT HAPPENS WITH HER
BECAUSE I DON'T GET TO MARRY SAM, DO I?
I NEVER GET THE GIRL.
I NEVER GET THE BRASS RING. IT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
WOW. YOU ARE ONE CYNICAL, NEVER-BORN TEEN.
EARN YOUR WINGS OFF SOMEONE ELSE'S MISERY.
I'M TIRED. I'M GOING HOME.
I'M LOSING HIM. CAN YOU HELP ME OUT?
[THUNDER]
I CAN SHOW HIM THAT? AWESOME.
- WHAT IS THIS? - PICK IT UP AND SEE.
WHY AM I HERE?
I HATE THIS PLACE. I SUFFERED PAIN AT THIS PLACE.
YES, BUT THIS IS WHERE YOU HEAL, HARRISON.
I'M GONNA GO NOW.
BEFORE YOU DO, THERE'S SOMEONE YOU SHOULD MEET.
- HI. - HI.
- EYE LEVEL. - RIGHT.
DID YOU GET ME A NEW MITT? YOU PROMISED.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T...
YOU PUT MY NAME ON IT.
YEAH.
YEAH, I DID.
- BRUNO. - THANKS, DAD.
DAD.
I'M A DAD.
WILL YOU PLAY CATCH WITH ME?
THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR, SON.
GET OUT THERE.
AM I A GOOD FATHER?
THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR YOUR CHILD ERASES THE HURT YOU INHERITED FROM YOUR FATHER.
YOU FINALLY GET THAT BRASS RING, MAN.
THEN AGAIN, IT'S JUST IN THEORY.
A SNEAK PREVIEW THAT CAN EASILY BE ERASED.
BRING HIM BACK HERE.
I WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN. I SAID I'D BE HERE FOR HIM.
BUT YOU NEVER EXISTED.
REMEMBER? WHICH MEANS HE NEVER DID, EITHER.
YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GO HOME, HARRISON.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT? - MOM.
I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER. I DON'T HAVE ANY KIDS.
MOM, IT'S ME. IT'S HARRISON.
BEAT IT.
WHAT'S YOUR POISON?
MISS McPHERSON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I WORK HERE, WISE GUY.
YOU CAN'T WORK HERE. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DIVE.
YOU LIVE IN A NICE HOUSE WITH SAM AND BROOKE AND MR. McQUEEN.
MR. McQUEEN IS IN A SANATORIUM. HE HAS BEEN SINCE HIS DAUGHTER DIED.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? YOU'RE SHIVERING.
I'M COLD. I'LL TAKE A HOT CHOCOLATE.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.
I'M IMAGINING THIS.
[CLARENCE] NO, YOU AREN'T, HARRISON.
WITHOUT YOU, THE WORLD'S A MISERABLE PLACE, ISN'T IT?
I TOLD YOU THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO FALLING.
TO WISHING YOU'D NEVER BEEN BORN.
[BELL RINGS]
GOOD GOING, MAY. CONGRATS.
- WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? - EVERY TIME A BELL RINGS,
AN ANGEL GETS ITS WINGS.
MAY TUNA'S BEEN WORKING ON HERS FOR A WHILE.
- WHY ARE YOU SITTING DOWN THERE? - BECAUSE I'M MAD AT YOU.
- YOU'RE RUINING THE ONE CHANCE. - TO GET YOUR WINGS, I KNOW.
NOT JUST THAT.
I DIED YOUNG, HARRISON.
I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO GROW UP, OR BE WITH A GIRL.
HAVE A FAMILY, TOUCH PEOPLE THAT I WANTED TO...
I WAS GONNA EXPERIENCE ALL THAT THROUGH YOU.
- SORRY. - DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON
CAN MAKE IN THE WORLD?
YOU ACTUALLY HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE, HARRISON.
AND YOU WERE WILLING TO
THROW IT ALL AWAY WITHOUT EVEN FIGHTING FOR IT.
THERE'S THE NUTCASE, OFFICER GLASS. I'VE SEEN HIM,
SOLICITING WHORES, TOUCHING FISH INAPPROPRIATELY,
BEING A PUBLIC MENACE. ARREST HIM AT ONCE.
MISS GLASS, IT'S ME. IT'S HARRISON. YOU'RE MY TEACHER.
I HAVEN'T BEEN A TEACHER FOR YEARS, SPARKY,
EVER SINCE MY TITILLATING ACTIVITIES WITH MY BO GODFREY
GOT ME THROWN OUT OF KENNEDY HIGH ON MY EAR.
REMEMBER THAT? YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAVED MISS GLASS.
JOSH AND SUGAR WEREN'T SMART ENOUGH.
STOP SQUIRMING. YOU'RE GONNA ROT IN THE CLINK.
OW! OW! OW!
[HARRISON] GOD, I KNOW I TOLD YOU I'D NEVER PRAY AGAIN,
BUT NOW I AM.
I'M SCARED.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I WAS FOOLISH TO JUMP, NOT TO FIGHT.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN.
I WANT TO LIVE.
I WANT TO LIVE AGAIN.
[NURSE DAN] HARRISON?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?
JUST GETTING SOME FRESH AIR.
WAIT. YOU KNOW MY NAME?
STOP MAKING JOKES.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU ALL NIGHT.
ZUZU'S BUDDHA BEADS.
ZUZU'S BUDDHA BEADS!
I'M NOT DEAD. I'M HERE.
I'M ALIVE!
I CAN FEEL THE MORNING SUN ON MY FACE!
- WERE YOU GONNA... - JUMP?
NEVER.
NEVER, NEVER.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HONEY.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
YOU KNOW HOW WE WERE GONNA CREATE
A BONE MARROW MATCH WEBSITE TO FIND A DONOR?
- WE WENT ONLINE LAST NIGHT. - THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD SEE.
"STAN, BRENDON, MILO."
WHAT DO THESE NAMES MEAN?
THOSE PEOPLE HAVE CANCER, LIKE YOU.
BUT BECAUSE OF YOU, THEY HAVE A CHANCE OF GETTING BETTER.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
OUR DONOR SITE GOT THOUSANDS OF HITS LAST NIGHT,
AND THREE PEOPLE FOUND BONE MARROW MATCHES.
WITHOUT YOU AND YOUR SITE, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE.
BECAUSE OF ME?
THEY DON'T HAVE A DONOR MATCH FOR YOU YET,
- BUT... - BUT WE HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPE.
WE'RE GONNA GET YOU THAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
[NICOLE] SORRY, GUYS. HOLIDAY TRAFFIC WAS A NIGHTMARE.
- WE DONE OPENING PRESENTS YET? - YES, AND YOU'RE LATE.
GOOD, THEN, HARRISON, LET ME GIVE YOU MINE.
NICOLE, WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT?
I AM HARRISON'S BONE MARROW MATCH.
I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY, AND WAS GONNA BAG.
PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY. THEY CAN'T FORCE YOU TO DO IT.
IT'S A PAINFUL PROCEDURE, AND...
I'M AFRAID.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
TALK ABOUT KARMIC PAYBACK.
NICOLE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
YEAH, WELL.
IF I DON'T, EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM WILL KILL ME.
YES.
AND, ALSO, HARRISON,
I WANT TO.
OKAY. WELL, LET'S DO IT.
HARRISON, WE FOUND THIS UNDER CLARENCE'S BED YESTERDAY.
HE HAD A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU, TOO.
[HARRISON] "A POOR MAN WHO HAS FRIENDS IS ALWAYS WEALTHY."
"THANKS FOR THE WINGS, BRO. CLARENCE."
[BELL RINGING]
I FEEL AN ODE TO FRIENDSHIP IS APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME.
