Las Vegas

Ooh

merry christmas, santa christmas comes this time each year

ooh ooh

well a-way up north where the air gets cold

there's a tale about christmas that you've all been told

and a real famous cat all dressed up in red

and he spends the whole year workin' out on his sled

it's the little saint Nick ooh, little saint Nick

it's the little saint Nick ooh, little saint Nick

just a little bob sled for that old saint Nick

but she'll walk a toboggan with a four-speed stick she's candy-apple red

- We are so gonna win this. - I don't know.

I hear that life-Size gingerbread house at the venetian is causing quite a crowd.

Not enough to get enough donations by midnight.

No, candy is dandy, but beefcake is bank.

Now I know why no line's at "Take your picture with a kwanzaa bush."

Thanks, ladies.

You up for christmas tomorrow?

Ooh, water skiing in the morning, rum and eggnog in the afternoon,

- and a fabulous house party all night long. - Very nice.

Brunch with Danny, presents under the tree, and writing christmas notes to the baby all day.

- Notes? - Our family's first christmas.

I mean, obviously, the baby's not gonna remember.

So what are you doing?

Ah, dinner with aunt gladys.

Maybe some carols with the pips, her christmas movie marathon.

All topped off by a week of much-needed vacation.

Yeah... I don't deserve to be this happy.

But I just can't help it.

From a christmas Carol. The best christmas movie ever.

- Oh. - Excuse me.

Ah, aunt Gladys. My shift's over at 5:00. I'll be there at 6:00. You want me to bring...

Off? What do you mean?

Wow. Iraq?

No, no, that's great. You and the pips will be good for the troops.

For two weeks?

No, no, no, no. That's cool.

Maybe next year.

So how's gladys?

Uh, she's great. I gotta go.

Mike.

Shouldn't you be packing?

Uh, change of plans.

Gladys and the pips just got asked to entertain the troops in Iraq.

From christmas to new year's. But don't worry about it. It's all good.

Now you and I can do that b-Ball marathon, baby. Heat, cavs. Lakers, suns.

Sonics and blazers.

Ooh, uh, yeah.

Delinda's making kind of a big deal about this being our first family christmas,

since last christmas was so messed up. It's not that I don't think of you as family, Mike.

- No, I get it. - You're like a brother.

It's just that, and then Cooper's been all over me about the retail store thing.

And then we've gotse christmas notes that she wants...

- For the baby. I heard. - Yeah.

Maybe I could catch you for the third game.

Don't worry about it. You do what you need to do.

- You sure? - Yeah.

- Because if you don't have anything going on... - Danny, please, I'm Mike Cannon.

- I've got a million things going on. - Come here.

No, dude, I'm fine. I'm fine, man.

Yo, Sam, what you got going on for christmas?

Huh? Oh, I'm doubling my bonus.

See, while you dumb asses were planning vacations, knitting stockings... I don't know, cutting down trees.

Whatever it is you christmas folk do. I was working on Linus phelps.

- Who? - Linus phelps. He's a hedge found genius.

He comes here all of august and drops a million I convinced him to come here now

so that I could lavish all of my attention upon him.

Merry christmas.

So you're gonna spend your christmas working a whale?

Yeah.

Nothing says peace on earth like cold, hard cash.

Help the homeless?

Ma'am, you can't be doing this here.

- Trying to help the needy? - Soliciting.

- I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave. - Oh, come on, can't I just stop?

- No, you have to go. - That's not exactly keeping with the christmas spirit.

Maybe the spirit is overrated.

- Linus! - Sam!

- Hey. - You are right!

Vegas is milder in December.

Yes, well, you know I want my favorite client to be comfortable while he's gambling.

- Speaking of which. - Oh, the infamous million.

Two... two million?

- Three million? - It was a very good year.

Happy holidays to you, Linus.

- Gotta love the season, huh, Mike? - I guess. You got any plans?

Night shift and paperwork. And you got a letter.

Of course, tonight's the night a billion-to-one shot happens.

- What do you mean? - You know those twins from bella petto?

Guess who they invited over to help stuff their stockings.

You?

Guess it is the giving season.

"Wish you were here."

It's like finally the twins show some interest, and I'm stuck here holding down the fort.

- No, you're not. - What?

I'll take your shift.

We're talkin' twins, Mitch. I can't deny my fellow man that.

And the paperwork?

- Sure, man. - Oh...

Just make sure you don't call donna "Denise."

I'd hate to find you stuffed up someone's chimney.

Oh, thanks, Mike.

Who's the letter from?

No one.

What should I put you down for?

Nothing.

I wish to be left alone.

"wish you were here."

I wish I knew where here was.

Spare a pence?

Please. It's christmas.

Away with you.

Bah, humbug!

You got that right.

Who needs christmas?

All it does is make you see what you don't have.

Come on.

I hate christmas!

Mike.

Mike Cannon!

Scrooge.

What...

I can't...

You cannot move...

Mike Cannon.

Not now.

Not until you've been visited by the three spirits of christmas.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I get it.

I blacked out.

This is a dream.

This is not a dream, Mike Cannon!

From this moment hence till christmas morn, you will be visited by three spirits.

Not until the visits are over will your fate be decided.

More sugar for santa, baby.

Where do you think you're going?

The line! The line! Blind much?!

Who, hey, relax, ladies. We work here.

Yeah, don't worry, everybody's gonna get their turn.

Jeez.

I guess some people just can't feel that holiday cheer.

Okay, so I've got the prospective retailers down to two finalists that I'm meeting with today.

In other words, you don't know yet.

In other words, I haven't decided yet.

- You haven't decided? - Not yet.

You haven't decided what to recommend.

As president of operations, I assumed that I'd be the one to decide.

Then why are we having this meeting?

Because I wanted to let you know that I'm that close to deciding.

Well, I don't have a problem with you deciding, Danny.

As long as I like what you recommend.

I'm kind of sentimental about our last piece of real estate.

Okay, so I will let you know what I decide to recommend.

Tonight.

- Tonight when? - Tonight tonight.

I'm going on a trail ride.

- At night? - At night.

Okay, I'll have an answer before you go.

You mean... You'll recommend your decision before I go.

Hi, Mike.

Hey, Sam.

I had a hell of a fall.

Actually, I'm not Sam.

I'm your first spirit.

I'm the spirit of christmas past.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna see if Mitch has got any aspirin.

No, Mike, please, you can't go out there.

Mitch!

- See, the present's not my job. - Mitch!

- Mike, please. You're gonna get me in trouble. - What the hell are you talking about?!

I thought I just got through telling you.

I am the ghost of christmas past.

I mean, how hard is it to understand? "Past."

Oh... can you not read?

Shame on you.

Ow! Okay...

So I'm here to remind you why you're in Vegas, and to show you that, you know,

you know, you're life here hasn't been so bad.

- Okay. - Okay.

So do you want this to work?

Want what to work?

Our walk down memory lane.

It's the old Montecito.
