Project: Puppies for Christmas (2019)

Post by bunniefuu »

Look at them.

They wage w*r amongst

themselves destroying the planet

that was created for them.

They're vain and selfish,

concerned with only themselves.

I say let them go.

Plunge them into the darkness

they so richly deserve.

You think they

are not worth protecting.

Yes!

There is more to them

than you turn your eyes to now.

They have lost their

faith, their righteousness.

They wallow in misguided notions

of political correctness.

They have no morality.

Perhaps it is you

that has lost your faith.

Spend time among them.

Find good.

It's there, sometimes in

the most unexpected places.

Okay, Alex.

We've gotten

almost everything done.

I still have to go to the bank

and then maybe we can...

Let's go in and look

at the puppies, Nana.

Ah, you know we can't

have a puppy, Alex.

Let's go in, please?

Well, I suppose so

but only for a minute.

I need to get to the bank.

Are you getting a puppy?

No, our papa owns this store.

We're just playing with them.

That must be fun, always

having puppies to play with.

Well hello there.

How are you?

Good, thank you and you?

Excellent.

I'm finding homes for all

these little bundles of energy.

So I'm doing very excellent.

We have the finest pedigrees.

Aren't you sad

to see the puppies go?

When I was a boy I worked

in an animal shelter.

I remember there were

so many dogs, too many.

That was sad.

Now, I just only

get enough puppies

so I can get enough loving

homes for all of them.

And a portion of my profit

goes to the animal shelter

to help the other dogs, too.

Oh, this is a cute one.

How much?

$750 and that includes

all insurance and papers.

Oh, I'm sorry, Alex,

we have to go.

I have to get to the bank.

Okay.

Bye puppy.

Rick, come on in.

Thank you for coming.

Oh, good to see ya, sis.

You too.

I have some coffee ready.

Good.

So where's Alex?

At her friend Peyton's house.

So what did you

wanna see me about?

Is it about Alex?

When did I start having

to come up with a reason

to spend some time with

my favorite baby brother?

You're getting forgetful, sis.

I'm your only baby brother.

Oh, that's right.

No, I'm just a little

down, wanted some company.

Alex is fine but

she's wanting a puppy

and they cost $700 minimum.

With the food costs

and Social Security,

I just don't think I can

spend the money on a puppy.

I wish I could help but

Brian's med school expenses

are eating my lunch

financially and my dinner.

Of course it is, I understand.

I just thought I would ask.

What's with you?

I don't know.

I just wish I could get

a puppy for Christmas.

We could ask your

Nana to get it for you.

I already did.

She says we don't have

the money to get a puppy.

Yeah, I asked my

dad for one, too.

I got the it's too much

responsibility shutdown.

I've got it!

Let's ask Santa!

Really?

What makes you think we'll

actually get a puppy?

Simple, we just do a good deed

and Santa will be so impressed,

he'll go through hoops

to get us a puppy.

I guess.

No, it's guaranteed.

Now, all we have to do is

come up with a good deed.

It'll have to be a big one.

Ah, for crying out loud.

All right, you kids,

that's enough.

Now, you come by here and

I saw you hit my rocks.

Leave my rocks alone.

Yeah?

Go on, get outta here.

Yes, sir.

Yes sir, yes sir, yes sir.

Delinquents.

Let's bring Christmas

joy to Nilwater!

What?

You said big, not impossible.

I think we could do it.

In this century?

We can if we come

up with a plan.

Well, whatever

it is, we have to act fast!

Christmas is in like a week.

Project: Puppies for Christmas!

Yeah!

Thank you for shopping with us.

Good morning, Mr. Davis.

Don't ring anything up twice.

I'm watching.

Of course not, Mr. Davis.

You're ringing it up too

fast for me to see the screen

as items get rung up.

Slow down.

Yes, Mr. Davis.

I want everything double bagged.

The plastic's so

thin one bag rips.

Double bagged, yes, sir.

That's 24.31, please.

Uh, you forgot something.

The, what is it hazelnut?

Oh that's my favorite, too.

Oh yes, I didn't see it.

It's all your fault for

going so fast.

I couldn't keep up.

Sorry about that, Mr. Davis.

Would you still like it?

Uh, sure he does.

Gotta love that hazelnut, huh?

Of course.

I'm the manager.

Is everything all right here?

Yes, everything's fine.

Nice parking job.

I wasn't stealing anything.

No, I'm sure it wasn't planned

but once you got a

look at the coffee

in the bottom of the basket,

I betcha the temptation

was a little too much.

Are you accusing

me of being a thief?

No, just human.

Hey, Dad.

Alex and I are going to be

spreading some Christmas joy.

Oh really?

That's great.

What are you two gonna do?

We're going to be

spending the next five days

with Mr. Nilwater.

You know, baking cookies,

holiday decorating.

We might even go to

the homeless shelter

and bring some good to others.

Uh, I'm not so sure

about this idea.

It'll be fine, Mr. Fields.

We'll check in every hour

and you can come over

with us on the initial visit.

And Peyton and I will never

leave each other's side.

Can't you just start a

recycling club or something?

Dad!

Fine.

But I'm going, too.

Yay!

They're going

up to Nilwater's place?

Oh man, they're dead.

I can't watch.

Let's get out of here.

You on a su1c1de mission?

I kinda wanna watch.

Come on, guys,

let's get out of here.

Come on, Daisy.

Come on, guys, let's go.

You ladies are sure about this?

Yep.

Oh for crying, what do you want?

Uh, Mr. Nilwater, hello.

The girls have decided

they'd like to spend

some time with you,

baking cookies, decorating

for the holidays.

You know, bring some joy

into your life.

What?

No!

Go on, get outta here.

Well, we could decide

to come back every day

and bother you plus get

the neighborhood kids

to be loud and play constantly

on the sidewalk in

front of your house.

They could accidentally

trample your grass,

scuff your walkway.

You're gonna help me by

blackmailing me

into going along with your plan?

Nice start.

Come in.

Make yourself at home.

We thought we would be

spending the day

baking cookies and

getting to know you.

We brought the ingredients

for chocolate chip

and peanut butter.

Yeah.

Does that mean we

have to make both?

Uh, no.

I think one will be okay,

right girls?

Baby steps.

Sure, okay.

Aw, kitchen's right

this way, come on.

Don't make a mess.

Which cookie

sounds good, Mr. Nilwater?

Oh well, whichever one

you can make the fastest.

Chocolate chip it is.

How 'bout sitting on a stool

over by the counter here?

Sure.

And where do you keep

the bowls, Mr. Nilwater?

First cupboard

there next to the thing.

It's better.

Need a spoon?

Yeah.

Right there.

Oh, good, thank you.

Okay let's get started.

It's the holiday season

Time to join in prayer

People running to and fro

But do they really care

They go through the motions

They light up the tree

But do they know

What it means

All done.

We hope you enjoy your

cookies, Mr. Nilwater.

Yeah, so do I.

I mean, I'm sure I will.

Well, why wouldn't I?

Try one, let's see

what you think.

Uh, I think Mr. Nilwater

is ready for us

to get out of his hair.

Uh, yeah, let's,

I'll try some later.

Why don't you grab some and...

Okay, thanks.

There's plenty

to go around, isn't there?

Bye, Mr. Nilwater.

See ya tomorrow.

What?

I hope we didn't impose too

much on you.

Uh, no, we're good.

Thanks.

I'm looking for the best

grandmother in the world

to come tuck me in.

That's sweet.

And might I add I think you

are pretty special yourself.

Nana, is it strange

that I liked Mr. Nilwater?

No.

Honey, I think what you

and Peyton are doing

is very admirable.

He lives alone, Nana.

Kinda sad.

Maybe he likes it that way.

Really?

I am so proud of you.

And I know your parents

would be, too.

I miss them.

Me, too.

Now you go to sleep and dream

about sugar plums and fairies.

Okay, I'll do my best.

Hey.

I just wanted to say good night

and that I enjoyed today.

Are we doing the right thing?

About trying to get puppies?

Mr. Nilwater.

Maybe he likes being

alone and we're intruding.

I look at yours and Alex's

hearts.

Yes, in a way you

are using Mr. Nilwater

in an attempt to

get puppies, but hey,

I know it'll make you

happy to bring some joy

to his life, too.

You know you're right.

When I was baking cookies

I wasn't even thinking

about the puppies.

I just wanted to make a

difference for Mr. Nilwater.

You know it's not too late

to start a recycling club.

- Dad!

- Okay.

Fair enough.

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep well.

We'll get you all tucked in.

Good night, Lucy.

It's a reindeer by the way.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

I love you.

Good night, love you.

Sweet dreams.

Oh no, they've seen me.

Oh, goody, you're back.

Good morning, Mr. Nilwater.

Hi, Mr. Nilwater.

Just out of curiosity,

how long does this plan

of yours last?

Five days.

Five days.

How were the cookies,

Mr. Nilwater?

The what?

The cookies we made.

Oh, yeah, cookies.

Uh, oh, hmm, edible.

That's Nilwater-speak

for excellent.

Okay, well, let's

get started, ladies.

Any chance I could stop you?

Nope.

We'll put...

Let's work on this here.

I didn't tell you I

was a Rastafarian, did I?

Okay.

Guess that didn't work.

Mr. Nilwater, would you

mind grabbing that ladder

for me please?

I got it.

I got it.

Don't break it.

Just put it in the

ground and just step on it.

Dad, Alex and I

forgot a few things.

We're gonna run

back to the garage.

Okay.

Thanks.

Look both ways before

crossing the street.

Yes, Dad.

What's up with those two?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean what are we going

through this dog

and pony show for?

Ah, I think they believe

that if they do a good deed

that Santa will bring them

puppies for Christmas.

Oh, so there's an agenda.

Yes.

But they both have really

good hearts, good intentions.

They've been through a lot.

I noticed you're not married.

Oh, yeah, um,

Peyton's mom, Sandra, lost

her battle with cancer

two years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

It's been tough.

For a long time I hated

everything.

Every morning.

Each happy couple I saw,

every night,

just keep sitting there angry,

wondering why it had

to be Sandra.

I mean aren't there plenty

of criminals in the world

this could happen to?

Why someone good like Sandra?

I wallowed for a long time.

Then one day I looked

at Peyton and I realized

I have to let go.

I can't show Peyton that

being angry is okay.

Excuse me, um, we're

getting through though,

one day at a time.

Counseling has helped.

The church and

the support there.

Alex has it much worse.

Father was k*lled

by a drunk driver.

Year later she loses

her mother to cancer.

That's where they met.

Their mothers were in the

same treatment center.

They've both experienced

tremendous loss

and yet somehow, somehow

they're not angry at the world.

Never thought to look here.

I'm sorry, did you say

something?

I said, yeah,

they have good hearts.

Now, what do you say

we get these lights up?

Yes, let's do that.

Okay.

Oh Jesus, oh Jesus

Oh what a wonderful child

Jesus

Oh my Jesus

Soulful me

These hands of mine

Newly mine

Oh me

Hey, how you doing?

Good, how 'bout you?

Ah good, Merry Christmas.

Let it be

Glory, glory

Glory

To the new born king

Welcome to the Sunday service.

We're just a few days

away from Christmas

and I hope you've

done all your shopping.

One announcement,

we are going to have

a Christmas Eve candlelight

service at seven.

We won't have a service

on Christmas Day

so we can spend time with our

families.

Now last week we talked

about the birth of Christ.

Today I wanna talk about

the Christmas spirit.

Christmas has become

commercial, big business.

Having said this,

the giving of gifts

and family get-togethers

have their place.

And it's a wonderful way

to give and receive love.

Love, hmm?

How does one achieve being a

part of the Christmas spirit?

Through love.

Love one another seeking

nothing in return.

No one should be required

to give gifts

to earn someone's love.

Whatever gifts you

get this Christmas,

be grateful and

with a glad heart.

Amen?

Amen.

Oh, thank you.

What are you doing

with your hands?

Oh, oh...

It was a wonderful service.

Well, thank you.

Merry Christmas and I

just wanna say thank you

for standing up for me the other

day.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, right,

sure.

You're welcome, kid.

And you're a good guy.

Thank you, it's means a lot.

That was a very

interesting sermon.

I wonder, do you believe

what you said out there?

Well, thank you and yes.

I don't believe we've met.

No, no, we haven't.

I'm Nilwater.

Well, where are you from?

Me?

Far away, far away.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Nana, this is Mr. Nilwater.

Hi, I'm Alex's

grandmother, Ellen,

and it's so nice

to finally meet you.

And you, thank you.

I hope Alex isn't

being too much.

Alex, no, no she's a delight.

We'll be over this afternoon

to finish the Christmas

lights, Mr. Nilwater.

I'm sure you will.

And try to come as

soon as possible.

I go to bed early.

We sure will.

Okay, great.

Good.

Well, it's so nice to meet you.

And you.

Thank you.

Pastor.

Mrs. Gregory.

That sermon was

absolutely wonderful.

Well thank you and Merry

Christmas, Mrs. Gregory.

Merry Christmas to you.

Curt, would you help

Mrs. Gregory...

- Oh yeah, of course.

- Oh, Curt, thank you so much.

Let's hit it.

All right, I'm on it.

Hey,

will you look at that, huh?

It's beautiful.

Isn't it great, Mr. Nilwater?

Oh they're not bad.

Not bad.

Okay, ladies, time

for us to head home.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Good night, Mr. Nilwater.

Good night, good night, yeah.

Good night.

I'll take care of the

stepladder in the morning, okay?

Thank you, thank you very much.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Okay, can I have

everyone's attention, please?

We are expecting

some guests this morning

and they are coming to help out.

So please try and

be patient with them

as they are new.

And let's try and

welcome them to our home.

Huh, yeah, we'll take

care of 'em.

You better believe it.

Let's pray, shall we?

Can't we eat first?

No, we pray first.

Yes, ma'am.

Dear Lord, thank you

for this shelter

and bless this food, amen.

Amen.

Hey, I'm coming.

What day is it today?

Day three, it's day three.

Okay, right, what are we doing?

We're going to go pick up Alex

and then we're gonna go

to a homeless shelter.

Homeless, oh we have one of

those, huh?

Yeah.

Right, oh well let me

ask you a question then.

What are we going to

a homeless shelter for

when we can, I don't know,

sew Christmas stockings?

It's to make you feel warm

and fuzzy helping others.

And it's a school

project that I have to do

over winter break.

Oh well, okay, all right.

Oh that's horrible coffee.

We can all go in

my car, Mr. Nilwater.

Don't worry,

my dad is a great driver.

And we have full coverage.

Oh, no, no, that's not

what I'm worried about.

I'm trying to decide if I

wanna be locked in the car

with you Alex.

Oh well.

Excuse me.

Hi, you must be the nice

folks I spoke to on the phone.

That's us I think.

I'm Cara and thank you so

much for coming in today.

Oh, our pleasure, right girls?

Absolutely.

I'm John, this is Mr.

Nilwater, Peyton, and Alex.

They're the masterminds

behind today.

Very nice to meet you.

Why don't I give

you a quick tour

then we can get to work.

Great.

Okay, this way.

After you.

How you doing, Mr. Nilwater?

Oh, just fine, thank you.

I'm doing a little bit

of manual labor here

thanks to you two.

Isn't this great?

We get to help out people and

make your day a little better.

Yeah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

I didn't know what else to do.

Hi, sweetheart.

- Hi.

- How you doing?

Good.

Good?

You ladies did a wonderful

job in the kitchen.

And I was just thanking

your dad here

for moving all that stuff to

storage.

My pleasure.

And you, Mr. Nilwater.

Hmm?

Thank your

with all various chores.

Oh, you're welcome.

So when do we eat?

Right now.

Aye.

We'll serve first, and then eat.

Peyton, could you pass out

the trays and silverware?

Sure.

Alex, I'm gonna ask that

you give out the rolls.

Okay.

Just use these tongs.

And, Mr. Nilwater.

Hmm?

Could you please serve the soup?

I think I can handle that.

Mr. Fields, can you

help me give out drinks?

Sure, and please call me John.

All right,

everyone, time for lunch.

Lunch?

Here and here.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Gonna have some soup?

Would you like a roll?

Oh, you're gonna be sorry.

There you go.

I stripped paint for that.

Would you like a roll?

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Here you are.

- Care for a roll?

- There you go, son.

Here you go.

Yep, and have a sip.

Yes siree.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I get a couple of extra

rolls for my dog Bandit here?

Of course.

Thank you.

Ladies, this is Fred.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Hello.

So Bandit is a boy?

No, Bandit's a lady.

But she's got a knack for

stealing snacks

so I named her Bandit.

Word of caution, don't leave

any cookies unattended.

She loves them.

Does Bandit like soup?

No, and none for me either.

There's probably

something back here

we can find for Bandit.

Did you hear that, Bandit?

Bandit, can you thank

this nice man?

Yeah, well, extra loaf of bread.

Very thoughtful.

Very thoughtful.

There you go.

Thank you.

All right.

Thank you so much.

See ya, Bandit.

Atta girl.

Dogs like breads.

Okay, Bandit, you are the

sweetest dog.

You're just the dearest thing.

I just love you.

Fred, can we pet Bandit?

Fred?

Run for cover!

Incoming!

Hit the deck!

Fred, Fred, it's Cara.

Fred, it's Cara.

You're here,

you're here at the shelter.

Fred, please.

Try to help him.

What?

Where?

You're safe.

You're fine, Fred.

Semper fi.

Marine, too?

I was in country.

Your tattoo told me

you were a marine.

When you're in the company

of a fellow marine,

you're with a brother.

Just sometimes my past

comes back to pay me a visit.

Bandit, Bandit, you

Bandit, you come up here.

Come up here, sweetheart.

Yeah, you come here.

Would you like to pet Bandit?

Sure.

She's gonna

have puppies, you know.

Really?

What kind?

We're not sure.

All I know is she's been

plumping up.

Wow.

Do you know when?

I reckon pretty soon.

Um, what'll you do with the

puppies?

Probably try to sell 'em.

If not then just give 'em away.

Why?

How much?

I'm not sure.

You girls want one?

Yes!

Well, I'll see what I can do.

It's open, come in.

Hey, g*ng.

- Hi.

- Morning.

Coffee's in the kitchen.

Thank you.

Watch this, Mr. Nilwater.

- Yeah, that's uh.

- How's it going?

It's getting there.

Yeah, yeah, it's getting there.

Guess I just gotta keep at it.

I guess you should.

As long as you don't run

off and join the circus.

How could I do that when

I've got you around, Dad?

Mr. Nilwater?

Yes.

Do you have any photos

of family or friends?

Oh, family, no I'm sorry, I

don't, no.

Oh.

So do you have

any family nearby?

Alex, maybe quiz Mr.

Nilwater another time?

Hey, listen, I'm afraid to ask

but what's on the agenda today?

We gonna be going in an

airplane,

dropping fake

snowflakes over a school

or a children's hospital or...

Well, you're right

about the location.

We're going to

the children's hospital

to read Christmas stories to the

kids.

Santa Claus will be there.

No kidding?

Is this something

you guys came up with

or is it a school assignment?

- Yes.

- No.

Mine.

Peyton picked the shelter.

I picked the children's

hospital.

We should get going.

I'll drive.

Yeah, all right, okay.

Can I use the bathroom

real quick before we go?

Sure, yeah,

it's upstairs, take a left.

Okay, thank you.

You gotta jiggle the handle.

Daniel Nilwater.

Look what we made you, Mr.

Nilwater.

Alex and I.

Look at that.

Isn't that cute.

Don't...

We will put it right

on your pocket.

Oh a little snowman.

Looks like I'm the

marshal of Snowland.

You know if there were

a marshal of Snowland.

Well, then absolutely.

This is what this badge

would look like most likely

I would think.

But, uh, well,

thank you for that.

All right, shall we go?

- Uh, yep.

- Sure.

Okay.

All set.

How are we this morning?

It's time, sweetie.

Gotta go to work.

I understand.

So today I brought you this one.

I hope you haven't read it yet.

Smells like hospital.

Brings back memories of Mom.

I don't wanna think about it.

Hey, your mothers would

be very proud of you girls.

Oh, yes they are.

I mean, I'm sure they would be.

Hello.

How can I help you?

I called the other day,

John Fields.

Fields, I see you on the list.

Great.

Okay.

See Olivia Roberts down

the hall, room three.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Oh hi.

Are you looking for the

nurse's station?

No, we're here to help today.

John Fields.

Olivia.

Nice to meet you.

As you can see things are

a little nuts around here.

Yeah, it looks like you've

got your work cut out for you.

Yeah, and for the

other three personalities

running around in my head.

Okay now let's get you guys

started.

Today I'm gonna have

you put on story time.

So you'll read a book

to one of the kids

in their room for about an hour

and then I'll give you

your next assignment.

Does that sound good?

Sure.

Sure.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Here's some of the

stuff you need.

One person can read while the

other does the sound effects.

So feel free to

embellish where you like.

The bells I think you

can figure out on your own.

And the cups are for reindeer

hooves.

- Okay.

- The kids like it.

Okay, where do we go?

Room 204, her name's Jessica.

All right, let's go, guys.

Giddy-up, reindeers.

Get on outta here.

You must be Jessica.

Hi, yes.

Hi, I'm Peyton and this is Alex.

We came to read to you.

Okay to come in?

Sure.

My dad also came

to help with a friend.

I'm John and

this is Mr. Nilwater.

Hi.

Hi.

We brought some books.

Do you wanna choose

or do you want us to?

You can.

Okay.

How 'bout this one?

Um, okay, so Alex, you can read.

Mr. Nilwater, you could

do the man's voice

and the Santa voice.

I will do the bells and

the reindeer hooves,

and you can do noise

effects like wind and stuff.

Love to.

But no laughing.

It's my first time.

Can I sit right here?

It was three days before

Christmas.

There were three children,

Max, Jamie, and Ben.

One day, Mandy and Max

were sitting outside

and they heard this

huge gust of wind.

I said no laughing.

All of sudden out of nowhere

they see this huge sleigh

with a bunch of reindeer.

And they hear this huge voice

say...

Oh whatever happened to Rudolph?

But wait, there was a solution.

There was one reindeer

there who was different

than all the other ones.

'Cause it was finally

time to shine.

But thanks to Rudolph,

Christmas was finally saved.

The end.

Bye.

Oh, I'll leave these here.

- Bye.

- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

It was good to

meet you, Jessica.

You, too.

Do you believe in angels?

Yes, I do.

Now, why would you ask?

I saw an angel in

my dream last night.

What do you think

heaven is like?

I think you're going to like it.

Me, too.

I'm tired.

I think I need sleep now.

I understand.

I'm glad that I had a

chance to meet you.

Sleep tight.

I will.

Hello, my friend.

How are you?

Good, good, how are you?

Oh, here's a prayer.

Everybody needs a daily

prayer, don't you think?

Yeah, yes I do.

Glory, glory hallelujah

Lord, life is full of

your wondrous mysteries.

Thank you for all your mercies.

Dad, Jessica's gonna be

with Mom soon, isn't she?

'Fraid so, sweetheart.

Hey, everything okay?

Yeah.

What's next?

Thank you so much

for helping out.

So the staff now needs help

setting up the cafeteria

for St. Nick's arrival.

I was thinking maybe y'all

could help with that.

Sure.

Which way is it?

To your left, down the hall.

Let's go, girls.

Thank you.

Oh boy, this party's scheduled

to start in 15 minutes.

Yeah, these folks sure

could use some help, huh?

All right, we better get moving.

You two so owe me.

Yeah.

Excuse me, we're here

to help you set up.

What would you like us to do?

Great, we could use the help.

I could use help setting up

drinks.

Two ladies could help

Samantha set up photo stop.

And Brie, as you can tell,

needs help with that garland.

Okay, I'll help with the

garland.

Mr. Nilwater can you

take care of the drinks?

10-4.

And ladies, why don't

you head over to Samantha

and kindly ask what you can do?

Right.

Okay, excellent, let's go.

Okay.

Hi, ladies.

You here to help me out?

- Absolutely.

- Yep.

Great.

Well, let's get started,

shall we?

Okay.

Think this'll move

quicker with two of us.

Thank you.

I don't care if it snows

Just give me the glow

of a warm fireplace

Good cheer on my face

It's that time of year

When you want to be near

Your family and friends

It's Christmastime again

Here we go just warm my soul

It's Christmastime

we're ready for

Presents under the tree

for both you and me

Keepin' out the cold

just warm my soul

Here we go just warm my soul

It's Christmastime

we're ready for

Presents under the tree

for both you and me

Keepin' out the

cold just warm my soul

Not bad, huh, Mr. Nilwater?

No, they did a good job.

Ah, it's a good thing.

What do you do with the sword?

So well, when I'm ready to fight

I just pull it out like this.

Oh sorry, I'm put it back.

That's cool.

Dad, Mr. Nilwater,

let's go take a picture.

Oh no, no, no.

One picture a day is my limit.

Please, come on.

Now...

Come on!

Okay, Mr. Nilwater

will stand here.

Here?

Yes.

You.

Okay, bend down.

But turn around.

Picture.

You said turn around.

Yeah, this way.

Okay, okay, bend down.

Okay, say cheese everybody.

Cheese!

Excellent, it's a keeper.

Oh I'd be afraid to have a

look at that one, I tell you.

Why would you?

You looked great.

Ah, thank you.

Like I've been saying,

I've been volunteering

at this hospital for 10 years.

I practically like

run the place.

I love those,

could we play with it?

Uh huh.

It's Keith Stiles.

Look.

He's okay, but personally

I prefer Tony Bennett.

Who's that?

I think he's looking at me.

And if there was to be

And sent me forth today

Nice look, ladies.

We love your music,

Mr. Stiles.

Thank you.

Keith, as always,

thank you for coming.

I wouldn't miss the

children's Christmas party

for the world.

Well, we appreciate that.

Keith, some of the kids are

too sick to come to the party

so could we see them first?

Sure.

Lead the way.

Take him to go see Jessica.

Absolutely, she's

our first stop.

Oh tidings of

comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of

comfort and joy

I thought he was just okay.

I really enjoyed meeting you.

Merry Christmas, Jessica.

Merry, Merry...

Would you please

give this to her?

I don't think she has this one.

It's my new one.

Thanks, she'll really enjoy it.

I hope so.

Thank you very much.

Okay, is everybody ready to go?

Sure.

Something wrong?

Uh, no, I just, I may

have misplaced my keys.

You know, I mighta left

them in Jessica's room.

Oh, we can all go back up.

No, no, no, I'll meet

you guys by the car.

I'll be a jiffy, a hop, skip,

and a jump.

Piece of cake.

Okay.

Have a good day.

You, too.

Hello.

Hello.

I saw you helping out

at the Christmas party.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's me.

I really love to help.

No, I mean it, you were good.

Really?

Well, you know, you got

all those kids there,

they're so innocent, and they,

ah...

Well, my mom says

it's always good to try.

Well, yeah, I suppose it is.

Yeah, that's my mom.

Tell your mom I say hello.

I will.

I don't get it.

Get what?

Why this?

Why her?

I honestly don't know.

Why you?

Sorry?

Why are you here?

I can size people

up pretty quick

and you're not the

warm and fuzzy type.

So why are you here?

For two girls

who have braved far more

than they should have

at their age.

Two girls who've helped me see

beyond what I saw in this world.

Have a good day, Mr. Nilwater.

Sure will.

Hello, Daniel.

Hello, Moira.

What are doing?

My job.

Please don't tell me

you're here to take her.

She suffers.

I know, but it'll

destroy her father.

In three days,

she'll get her miracle.

Her father will

walk her down the aisle.

Then why are you here?

I'm here to watch over her.

Good.

Good.

I liked Jessica.

Me, too.

I'm glad we went to a hospital.

I just don't feel

so angry anymore.

Hmm, I never really

thought about it like that.

But you know what, you're right.

All set?

Yep, we're good to go.

Did you miss me?

- You betcha.

- Hmm.

There you are.

Ah, thank you.

So, something on your mind?

I've been thinking

about getting the girls

something for Christmas,

something nice.

Maybe a good book for Alex

and juggling lessons for Peyton

and I just wanted to

see your thoughts on it.

Wow!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean

to say that out loud

or at all, I mean,

just wow, just yeah.

You know what,

I'm gonna stop now.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

I just...

I think that would be awesome.

Thank you.

I'll drive.

Well, the girls are

gonna love their gifts.

Yep.

Hey, thanks for stopping

by the coffee shop.

I think you're gonna love it.

Sure thing.

Good afternoon, how many?

Hi, just two.

Right this way please.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

I'll be right back

with more cream.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, nice place, huh?

Yeah, can't believe

I've never been here.

This is the

best coffee I've ever.

Wait a second.

Cara.

Look who's here.

Come on.

Hi, guys.

Oh hi, would

you like to join us?

Come on in.

Oh, thank you.

Appreciate that.

I'll help you.

Thank you.

That kind of a guy.

How are you today?

Um, good.

It's a really good day.

Hello.

Hi there.

Would you like some coffee?

That would be fantastic.

So, how are things

at the shelter?

Good.

I'm getting paperwork and

projects done finally.

Oh, the girls keep asking

about Fred

and if Bandit's had

her puppies yet.

I think any day now.

But I'll call you when she does.

If that's okay.

That would be great.

Great, that'd be great,

yeah, yeah, all right.

Well, fun running into you.

Yeah.

Well, goodbye, gentlemen.

Bye.

Drive carefully.

What?

Nothing.

No, I just thought it probably

would've been a good idea

if you asked her out

to dinner or something.

Oh, you were thinking that?

I was thinking that, yeah.

Just out of curiosity,

did you set that up?

Come on.

You know how complicated

that woulda been?

I'd have to find out

where the girls were

to come over to your

house and the phone calls.

It woulda taken an awful lot.

Yeah, it would have.

Yeah.

More like divine intervention.

Divine, exactly.

It's my house back there.

I know.

Oh, I get to walk

from your house?

You're gonna

have dinner with us.

Thanks.

Dad, Alex and I are home.

In here.

Now, girls, that's not polite.

Oh, it's funny is it?

I'm sorry, Mr. Nilwater,

but it is.

It's incongruous.

That's why it's so funny.

Yeah, well who walks

around with juggling balls

in her apron, I'd like to know?

I do because you gotta practice.

It's more fun around

boiling pots and stoves.

Ah.

Well, Mr. Nilwater is

having dinner with us

so please wash your hands

and set the table, thank you.

Uh, Dad, Alex and I

are gonna go to my room

for a few minutes.

All right.

They are really great girls,

aren't they?

Extraordinary.

Does Peyton miss...

Sandra?

Yeah.

It's not as bad

as it used to be.

I think yesterday helped.

It was her first time

to a hospital

since her mom d*ed.

Well, you seem to be handling

whatever gets thrown at you.

Thanks.

I am definitely not looking

forward to the boy situation.

What?

I can imagine.

It's just she's had

to grow up too fast.

I just hope I don't

mess this up.

Ah, I wouldn't worry about it.

You're a good man, John.

You're doing a great job.

I don't know, I think with the

Lord's help

everything will just

turn out fine.

She needs a mother.

Mr. Nilwater.

Yes?

Will you do the honor of

saying grace for us please?

I most certainly will.

Lord, make us humble and

truly grateful for this food

and all the blessings

you have given us.

Amen.

Amen.

Who's hungry?

I am.

Me.

Hope they're not

being too tough on you.

No, you scamps.

Is now a good time?

Sure.

Okay.

That's the

last of it, Mr. Fields.

Thank you, ladies.

What's that, Mr. Nilwater?

Peyton.

What?

It's just something I

picked up for you ladies.

I guess early Christmas gift.

Oh yeah.

Dad, can we open it now?

Please, please, please, please?

Yes, you can.

Yay.

Thank you, Mr. Nilwater.

I'm off to join the circus.

Ha, not so fast, young lady.

Not until you're at

least out of college.

Thank you.

It's amazing.

Well, so are you.

Would you sign my book

for me, Mr. Nilwater?

Absolutely, I'd be honored.

Got a pen right here.

Perfect.

Thank you.

There you go.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

What'd you get?

A copy of the first

edition of The Odyssey.

Your favorite!

Yeah!

I got juggling lessons.

All right.

You need it.

Dad, can we schedule

these tomorrow?

Oh, I'm not sure what

hours they're working

on Christmas Eve

but we can call.

Yay!

Well, it looks like

I better be going.

It's getting a little bit late

and gotta hit the road.

Sure.

Hey, thanks for

having dinner with us.

Oh, you kidding?

Thanks for having me.

Thank you.

Good night, Mr. Nilwater.

Good night.

Thanks again for the gift.

Well, you're quite welcome.

Tally ho.

Good night.

Look both ways before crossing.

I'm telling you there's nothing.

Okay, how did you find his

first name?

Maybe you got it wrong.

No, I looked at his mail.

It said Daniel Nilwater.

I can't find a record

of him anywhere.

It's like he came out of nowhere

and poofed onto the planet.

Hmm.

Maybe he's in the witness

protection program.

Really?

What are the odds of that?

Well.

I don't know.

But I do think it's kinda sad.

I mean, no family.

You don't know

that for sure, Alex.

Don't get too hung up on it.

Maybe he's an angel

sent from heaven.

Oh, yeah, because an angel

would be sent

here to this place.

Maybe he's here to

help us get the puppies.

Peyton!

Okay, I'm just spitballing here.

You're the genius

of the two of us.

You come up with the idea.

Let me do some

more research first.

Alex, good morning.

Everything okay?

Hi, Mr. Nilwater.

I apologize for coming so early.

Where's John and Peyton?

Um, they're coming later.

I just wanted to drop this off.

What's this?

You didn't have

to get me a gift.

Just a little thing.

Huh.

Shall I open it now

or wait till later?

You can open it now.

I think, well, I noticed

you didn't have any photos

with family or friends.

Everyone should have at least

one picture

in their house.

So I'm not sure if

you have family.

We thought we could

be a good substitute

until you get a picture

with family or something.

This isn't really

coming out right.

But here you go.

Thank you.

It's, oh, extraordinary.

It's very sweet and kind of you.

I'm gonna treasure this always.

Well, uh, I gotta go.

We'll be back later.

Just a heads up, wear

comfortable walking shoes.

Oh, can't wait to see

what this is gonna be.

Walking shoes.

Okay, so you found nothing?

Nothing.

No family history,

no property records,

no social media, nothing.

Well, the social media

thing, that's to be expected.

Not sure Nilwater

even owns a computer.

Who owns the house?

Some corporation,

Clean Energy Company

out of Houston.

Weird.

Yeah.

So my witness protection

theory could be right?

Or it could be the

other thing you said.

You remember in the shelter

when Fred flashed

back to the w*r.

Fred was in hysterics and

it wasn't until Mr. Nilwater

touched him that

he snapped out of it.

Could be a coincidence,

good timing.

Or, he really is an angel.

What's your proof?

I know you, Alex, you have to

have something ready to go.

Not a lot.

Just that really in the

whole no past issue.

Like he was just sent down.

To do what?

He's been here for

over a year now.

Wouldn't he have done

whatever it is already?

I guess.

Well.

Good morning.

Morning.

Good morning, Mr. Nilwater.

- Morning.

- Morning, Mr. Nilwater.

How's your day going?

Well, so far.

Right.

I'm reluctant to ask but

what are we doing today?

We are gonna go get some

presents for Fred and Bandit.

Oh, how nice.

I figured we'd pick up

some food for both of them,

a bed for Bandit, and

maybe even some cookies.

I can't wait to see if

Bandit had her puppies.

Me, too.

Dad, we can get one, right?

We'll see.

Don't get too ahead of

yourselves.

Should we go?

Sure, girls?

Yep.

- All right.

- Okay.

Boy the life of a dog, huh?

Oh, John, so glad you're here.

Everything okay?

No.

Fred cannot find Bandit.

How long has she been gone?

Since early this morning.

Dad, we're gonna look for

Bandit, right?

Of, of course.

Where's Fred right now?

Out, he's looking for Bandit.

Where does Fred usually

look when he looks for Bandit?

Could be anywhere between

here and 6th Street.

Okay, we'll go see if we

can find Fred or Bandit.

Fred is so distraught.

I'm kinda losing my mind here.

Hey, don't worry.

We'll find them.

Okay?

Okay, thank you.

All right, guys,

let's go, come on, move.

6th Street, okay.

Bandit!

Bandit!

Bandit!

Bandit!

Bandit!

You okay?

Well, I'm just a

little surprised is all.

About what?

Never expected to

be doing this today.

That Cara gal, she really likes

helping people, doesn't she?

Yeah, she does.

Bandit, please come out.

Bandit!

Bandit!

Hey, hey, we're

gonna find her, okay?

I promise.

You know, if I was a dog,

what I would want

more than anything

would be a nice dumpster.

Now, I happen to

know that dumpsters

are always behind

buildings like this.

Girls!

Bandit, Bandit, Bandit.

That's our dog!

All right, now.

- That's our dog.

- Really?

That's our dog.

That's our dog.

Well, you can pick her up

at the county dog shelter.

What, wait, wait, why not now?

This dog's been running wild,

no leash, no license.

As far the county's

concerned, this is a stray.

I'm sure we can work

something out, right?

Look, go home.

Your dog will be

available in a few days.

But she's about

to have her puppies.

They'll impound

the puppies, too.

What?

Dad, can they do that?

- All right, listen, buddy.

- Please.

Come on, it's Christmas,

have a heart will ya?

Look at these little kids.

They're in tears.

Sorry, I got a job to do.

Bandit.

Bye, Bandit.

Hey, Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Merry Christmas.

Please tell me you found Bandit.

Sort of.

Bandit's alive.

She's just been taken

to an animal shelter.

Dog catcher caught her

just as we got to her.

Okay, but she's

all right, though?

Yes.

She hasn't had the puppies yet.

So we should be able

to go get her, correct?

Actually, they need a day or two

before they'll release her.

Why?

Think they need to process her.

What if she has her puppies?

Well, they'll impound the

puppies, too.

I'm gonna call

the shelter right now

and see what can be done.

Did you find Bandit?

Well, yeah, Fred.

She's in the pound.

She's great, she's fine.

But they gotta go

through some paperwork,

take a couple of days and

she hasn't had the puppies

so don't worry.

I'm gonna call the shelter.

I might be able to

apply some pressure.

Why don't you all go

home and get some rest.

I'll update you

with what I find.

You sure you

don't want us to stay?

No, it's fine.

I'll update you

with what I find.

Thank you.

Okay.

Well, I guess we go home.

Hello.

Uh, what can we help you with?

Yeah, hey, um, listen, a

friend's dog got picked up today

and I thought I'd just

swing by, pay the fine,

and you know boop-diddy-bop,

you know, take her home.

Well, if the dog came in today,

you wouldn't be

able to pick her up

till day after Christmas.

But, kinda my point,

you know, it's Christmas.

And the dog's pregnant.

I've got a couple

of little friends

that would really love

a puppy for Christmas,

if you know what I mean.

Come on.

We wish you a

merry Christmas

All right.

I guess it is Christmas Eve.

- All right, well thank you.

- All right, follow me.

Thank you, sir.

You know, I'm breaking a

lot of rules here, right?

Well, thank you, sir, I

appreciate it.

Is this your dog?

Ah, yeah,

that's Bandit all right.

Hey ya, buddy.

Oh, what time do you close here?

Uh, we close at midnight tonight

'cause of Christmas.

Okay.

Well, thank you.

There you go.

Look at that.

Bandit, say Merry Christmas.

Let's get outta here

before this nice gentleman

changes his mind.

Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas.

Now, don't try

to tell me how to drive.

Cara.

Oh, hi, guys.

I've been trying

to reach you on your cell.

Oh, I'm sorry, I left it in

the office.

We couldn't get the shelter

to release Bandit today.

What's going on?

Mr. Nilwater called and

asked us to meet him here.

Why?

Not sure.

How's Fred holding up?

He seems lost.

Just sitting there mostly.

Anybody need a dog?

Bandit!

She's okay!

My Bandit.

Did I ever miss you!

Oh, thank you so much.

We're just family right now.

That's okay, Fred.

You're very welcome.

Did she have her puppies?

Hmm, uh, no.

It's okay.

Yeah.

Hey, who knows, maybe

she'll have 'em tomorrow

and they'll be

Christmas puppies.

All right, girls, we should

let Fred and Bandit rest.

You know, I'm feeling it myself.

Peyton and I would like to

invite you, Fred, and Bandit

over for Christmas

dinner tomorrow.

Mr. Nilwater will be there, too.

I will?

Yes, yes you will.

Well, that would be very nice.

Thank you.

Bandit and I will be

there with bells on.

Well, have a good night.

Yeah, you too.

Okay, let's go.

Uh huh.

Let's go.

You got something to say?

No.

Good night.

Drive carefully.

Bye, Mr. Nilwater.

Ho.

Hmm.

Mr. Nilwater must be

going somewhere else.

Yeah.

Maybe he had something

last minute to do.

Nana?

In the kitchen, Alex.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

Mmm.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Nana.

Oh, Merry Christmas

to you too, sweetie.

Can we open presents?

We sure can.

How 'bout you open this one?

Me first?

Okay.

Well, what's this?

I don't know.

Santa musta brought it.

This one's for you, Nana.

Thank you, Alex.

I got a puppy!

I got a puppy!

Hi.

Oh my goodness!

I have to call Alex and

tell her I got a puppy.

I've gotta go and tell

Peyton I got a puppy.

How, how, how did he?

Oh, okay.

Yes, why don't you go call her?

Be right back.

- Hi, John.

- Merry Christmas,

Mr. Nilwater.

And Merry Christmas

to you, John.

Come on in.

I got a little

something for you.

Oh, thank you very much.

And thank you for the puppy.

Oh, I was afraid I was

overstepping my bounds there

but the girls wanted a puppy

and well, I happened to be

at the shelter and there you go.

No problem.

Peyton is ecstatic.

- Mr. Nilwater.

- Look honey.

Girls.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

This is Maggie.

And Murphy.

- Murphy, Maggie.

- Thank you so much.

Oh, you're

welcome, you're welcome.

Merry Christmas, too.

Merry Christmas.

All four of you.

Mr. Nilwater,

you sit right there.

- Okay.

- And I'll get you

some egg nog.

Well, thank you.

Nana, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Nilwater.

Good to see ya.

Merry Christmas, I'm Rick.

You're Rick?

Good to meet ya.

Baby brother.

Oh dear me.

Mr. Nilwater, Alex

loves the puppy.

How did you get

it under the tree?

I'll get that, John.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas,

Mr. Nilwater.

Come right in.

Thank you.

Oh, and Fred.

Merry Christmas, sir.

Merry Christmas.

Wow, it's beautiful.

I'm guessing still no puppies?

Nope, but should be real soon.

She's getting tired easily.

Everyone can find a seat.

My dad will be right out.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, Fred.

Merry Christmas.

See the puppies

Peyton and I got?

Well, I can see that.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas, John.

Thank you for coming.

I hope everyone's

enjoying their day so far.

I got a job!

My old boss called.

Wants me to come back to work.

Congratulations,

Fred, that's great news.

Amazing, Fred.

Christmas miracle.

You have a lovely home.

Thank you.

Well, let's eat.

Shall we all gather

our hands together

and say a little prayer?

Heavenly Father, thank you

for bringing us together

as family and friends.

Thank you for this food,

this blessing

you've bestowed upon us.

And thank you...

'Tis the time of year to see

Decorations on trees

Presents there for

you and me

It's Christmastime again

Well, hello, Alex.

Yes?

On the present, the tag.

You said thank you.

What did you mean by that?

You're going to have

to go back, aren't you?

Yep.

Back up there.

Yeah.

But you know, I get to go back

because of you and Peyton.

You both restored

my faith in humanity.

Hey, once I'm up

there I get to watch

over the both of you, you know.

At least that's what

I'm gonna request.

Hey, I've got something for you.

Close your eyes.

What was that?

That was joy.

Whenever your life

seems a little bit crazy,

I want you to sit still,

close your eyes,

and joy will come.

Hey, would you do me a

favor and explain it all

to the rest of them?

Thank you, Alex.

Alex, come see

what the puppies are doing.

Ho oh.

Well, I guess we'd

better go out there

and see what's up.

I see you found what you needed.

Yes, and I am humbled.

Thank you.

I would like to make one

request if you will allow it.

Ask.

I would like to be charged

with watching over children.

I feel humanity can best

be reached through them.

So be it.

The children need

all the help they can get.

Especially those two.

Project puppies

for Christmas completed.

- Is he gonna give her kisses?

- Oh!

Gonna give Alex kisses?

Watching over the world

After all that I've seen

I find myself questioning

What does it all mean

I don't see any love

I can't find any grace

It's like I've just given up

On the whole human race

Won't you show

me what I've lost

I need it back at any cost

I no longer see

the reasons why

The reasons why

And won't you help

me on my feet

And put the warmth

back in me

I no longer see

the reasons why

It only makes me wanna cry

Those who have it all

They only want more

And those who need the most

Seem to just give it more

Where is the

spirit of giving

Where's morality

Where has the goodness gone

Where does it hide from me

Won't you show

me what I've lost

I need it back at any cost

I no longer see

the reasons why

The reasons why

And won't you help

me on my feet

And put the warmth

back in me

I no longer see reasons why

It only makes me wanna cry

Fall too far

Don't know who you are

Give me love, give me rest

We can die the rest

Just your love

for you will find

If you give a little time

To stand up your

heart to this

And together we will pray

Won't you show

me what I've lost

I need it back at any cost

I no longer see

the reasons why

And won't you

help me on my feet

And put the warmth

back in me

I no longer see

the reasons why

It only makes me wanna cry
