better than the one you were growing up in.
- Who told you that?
- You can do the same thing for other little kids today
with just one simple fix.
- No, morality is not, there's nothing wrong about it.
- He's right. Nick has a great suggestion.
First half of the game is great for kids.
It's the second half that's a problem.
So we're gonna end the kids' version at the halfway point
and market the entire game to grownups.
- Instead of one game, we've got two.
- Exactly. We double our market.
- So would we be doing the ads for the grownup version?
- Sure.
[phone auto-dial]
- Anna, hey, it's me. Uh, how's Jake?
Yeah, can you put him on?
Hey, Jakey. Guess what, you can stay up past bedtime
so I can tuck you in.
Yeah, I'll be home in a little bit.
Okay, I love you. I love you more.
I love you more. Okay, bye.
- You got it. Almost, okay, dribble, back to the basics.
Okay, almost, back to the hoop.
Put it right in there, right in the basket.
Jakey, I know what your problem is.
Your rhythm's off.
- Rhythm?
- Yeah, rhythm. You see, in the old days, the ancient Greeks,
they started this thing called the Olympics.
And whenever they would have their competition,
they'd have a musician playing,
you know, when they played sports.
And they had a rhythm, and that's what you need.
You need to get a little rhythm going. Let me think.
Got it. [SINGING] Now you. [SINGING] [Laugh]
[Singing and Christmas music mix]
[SINGING] Back to the hoop. Yeah.
[Laugh] Yeah, you got the rhythm.
- Jake, that's, uh, that, you were awesome.
- Nailed it.
- Yes. Ah...
- I'm thirsty. I'm gonna get something to drink from the fountain.
- Okay.
- Okay. Wow, what did, how did you do that?
- Oh, it's easy. It's easy.
We just relaxed, had a little fun.
I actually think I'm a much better coach than I am a player. [Laugh]
- Well, you've had quite a week, haven't you, Nick?
You, uh, saved our biggest account,
stared in our commercials,
and gave my son a basketball career.
- Oh, it's nothing, and he's a really good kid.
- You really do enjoy spending time with him, don't you?
- Sure, but I know who's been naughty or nice,
and he's been nice. [Laugh]
- You're amazing with kids, just amazing.
- I never met a child I didn't like.
And you, you make me feel really good about myself.
- Good. You're terrific.
- You really think so?
- Hey, baby.
- I got to go, mom.
- Why? - I haven't finished my Christmas shopping.
- Yes, um, we got to go. Get your stuff, honey.
We got to hurry 'cause we don't have a lot of time.
Nick, want to go with us?
- Yeah, sure, where you going?
- Shopping. - Okay. [SINGING]
- Mom? - Yes, you can run on ahead, baby.
I know every little thing that he wants for Christmas,
[Laugh] but I can't afford it all.
So it's hard to decided what to get and what to leave out.
- Well, I'm sure Jake will be happy
even if the toy truck doesn't pull right up to your house.
- I know, but I feel so guilty about working and not being home with him.
Time is passing.
Just yesterday, he was a little, bitty baby.
Now he's gonna be grown and gone.
- Beth,
pardon me,
if you could have a job where you stayed at home
and saw Jake as much as you wanted,
is that something you'd like?
- Of course. But stuffing envelopes isn't gonna pay the rent.
- [Laugh] No. [Laugh] [STAMMERS] I'm thinking about something else.
- What?
- Mom, can I have a pretzel?
- Well, when you come up with it, let me know.
- I will.
[Laugh]
How are those pretzels?
- Well, he's happy.
- Mm.
- [Laugh] I'll tell the chief toymaker at once.
Don't forget to leave out the milk and cookies,
uh, chocolate chip cookies, by the way.
Oh, hello, my friend.
- Bless her little heart.
[magic tinkle sound]
Isn't that nice?
- Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Hey, I've got a really good idea.
How's about we have a proper dinner, my treat.
- No way. You're gonna come home and have dinner with us.
Let's go.
- Yes.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
Okay, the dining room. Okay.
- He's a cool guy.
- Very cool guy. - Mm hmm.
- One, two, three, four, five.
- You still have... - The ballroom,
I say, okay, I'm not gonna make a suggestion. You go.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Ready?
- 'Cause if you're wrong... - If I'm wrong, I'm out.
- Yes. - I know that, so I'm not gonna,
five, very nice roll.
- You have to start a new one because...
- Oh, yeah here we are.... - The same one, if you have the same cards,
then you, you just,
and it is seven.
- Seven, okay.
- Which one are you gonna move?
- I'm gonna move this guy.
- Okay.
- Into the...
- Into the lounge.
- Wow. - Okay.
- Oh, I don't have a lounge.
- All right, so...
- So I'm gonna...
- Two, three, four...
- one,two, three, four. I have this.
- Three, four. - Yeah. - All right.
- Jake, bedtime.
- Please, mom, just five more minutes. Just one more mark, just...
- Sorry, honey, you've had a very busy day,
and tomorrow you got a basketball game.
- That's right. You have a big game tomorrow.
- Say goodnight.
- Goodnight, nick.
- Goodnight, Jake.
- I know. - I'll be on my way too.
- Uh, you don't have to. I'll just be a minute.
- We had fun today, huh, mom?
- We sure did.
- Did you notice how Nick kind of makes everybody,
well, happy?
- No, I didn't notice that.
- He made you happy too, didn't he?
- Jake, don't get any ideas about me and Nick.
- He's great, mom.
- I know.
- The other guys just pretend to like me.
But Nick really does.
- Yes, he does. Goodnight.
- I bet dad would have thought he was nice.
- Yeah, I bet he would have. Goodnight. I love you.
- Love you too, mom.
- I love you more.
- Sorry, I had to wrestle him into his PJs.
- [Laugh] Hmm.
- So, you're gonna be here until Christmas Eve, and then what?
- Well, right after the holidays,
I'm expected to take over...
the family business.
- Hmm. Is that what you want to do?
- [Laugh] I don't have a choice.
- Mm, so you don't want to do that.
- Oh, no, actually it's the most wonderful thing in the world.
It's just quite a legacy to live up to.
- So your father's putting a lot of pressure on you to do it?
- No, no, not really. It's just that he's really good at what he does.
And I'm not so sure I can measure up.
I don't want to be the only one in my family to let people down.
- Well, Nick, I've known you for a short while,
but I don't think you would ever let anybody down.
Everything that you do, you do it with all your heart.
And anybody that does that, they never fail.
- Thanks for the vote of confidence.
- Sure.
- Well, I'd better go.
Thanks for the, uh, dinner.
- My pleasure.
- Goodnight, Beth.
- Goodnight, Nick.
- [SINGING] Coach. [Laugh] Hi,
- Hey.
- Hey, how you doing, partner?
You remember what we talked about when we played one on one,
about the rhythm, right? [MAKES NOISE] Huh?
- Mm.
-She's pretty good. Who is that?
- That's Jocelyn.
- Oh. - She's the best one on our team.
She plays violin in the school band.
She isn't even stuck up like some other girls are.
You know, they're all, hey, look at me, I'm so popular. -[Laugh]
- But not Jocelyn.
- Wow, she sounds like she's got it all together.
- I get to get her a Christmas present, something that costs a lot.
I've been saving my allowance.
- Why?
- She thinks I don't like her.
- You know, Jake, the value of a gift doesn't matter.
It's the thought, the feeling that counts.
Why don't you try to find something
that'll impress her in a different way?
- What do you mean?
- Something that touches her heart.
- Like what?
- Like, I don't know. You got to figure that out.
But I promise you,
I guarantee you it'll mean much more to her
than anything you can buy at a store.
- Hey, Jocelyn.
- Hi. You are a very good player.
- Thanks. I'm Jocelyn. This is my brother, Christian.
He helps me practice at home. He makes a lot more baskets than I do.
- [Laugh] Well, Christian, nice to meet you. I'm Nick.
- Hi. [Laugh]
- Hi. - Hi.
[music and cheering]
- Rules say you can substitute, huh?
- Yes, why?
- Here. Show'em how it's done.
- Oh, this is it.
[crowd cheers!]
- Thanks, Jake.
- It's okay.
- Get over here.
One, two, three, yeah.
- Hey, look, yeah.
- Hey, Beth. What are you gonna be doing this afternoon?
- Uh, what's today? - Saturday.
- [Laugh] I'm gonna be not working, and hoping Andrew doesn't call.
- Well, how's about coming by the library today, South Street.
I'm gonna be the guest speaker on reading time.
- Oh, what are you reading?
- 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, of course.
- 'Course.
- My name is Nicholas.
I'm going to read you a poem
called 'Twas The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore.
Okay, here we go.
'Twas The Night Before Christmas,
and all through the house not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads.
- And mama in her kerchief
and I in my cap had just settled our brains
for a long winter's nap when out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter.
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
[every kid hears Nick in their native language]
- How can they understand Nick if they barely speak English?
- I guess he's a really good reader.
- Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
[Ho ho ho] Oh, thank you. Thanks for coming.
[Laugh] Oh, thank you.
[Laugh] Bye-bye. [Laugh] Bye-bye. [Laugh] Bye-bye.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Oh, that was really great. - Oh, thanks.
- Fantastic. Um, guess what we're doing.
- What?
- We're gonna buy a Christmas tree.
[Laugh] Um, we didn't know if you would like to come with us?
- Absolutely. - Okay, let's go. - Oh thank you.
Oh, just get this here.
- Here it goes. [Laugh] Woo.
- Tada. - Our tree.
- Is it straight? - Perfect. [Laugh]
- Can we decorate it now, mom?
- No, it's too late tonight. - Tomorrow?
- Maybe. I got to work tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow night.
- Maybe means no. - [Laugh] Not necessarily. Come on, it's bedtime.
- Goodnight, Jake. Oh, Beth. - Yeah?
- You want me to get out the Christmas decorations,
give you head start on the tree?
- [Laugh] Um, yeah, if you can find them.
They're in the garage in a little box marked Christmas I think.
- Christmas.
[Laugh] Where would Beth keep the Christmas decorations.
[SINGING] Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree.
[SINGING] [Laugh]
[magic tinkle sound]
- [SINGING] Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree.
[SINGING] Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree.
Wow! How did you do this so quickly?
Where did you get these ornaments?
- Your garage.
- Oh, not my garage. No, I've never seen these ornaments.
- Don't you believe in Christmas magic?
- No.
- Don't you look in the rafters of your garage at those extra two boxes?
- No. That must have been here before we moved in.
This is amazing.
- I thought it'd be terrific for Jake to see this in the morning.
- Yeah.
- Oh,
I saved the star for you.
Okay.
- Thank you.
Oh, that looks good.
- Now it's complete.
- It's beautiful.
- Oh, found this too.
- Snow globe, great. I remember these.
[winds music box, plays Up on the Rooftop]
- May I have this dance?
[music continues...]
- [Laugh] Sorry. Just dancing to a snow globe.
Um, I've got to work in the morning.
- Goodnight, Beth. - Goodnight. [Laugh]
[magic tinkle sound] - Ho ho ho
[magic whoosh sound]
- She doesn't fit any of the criteria.
I can't believe you're still wasting your time with her.
My Goodness, you're in love with her.
- Yeah, and suppose I am?
You're right. You're right, Ernest, I love her.
I am so in love with Beth.
- Never let it be said that I shied away from a challenge,
no matter how impossible.
My job was to make certain you had a wife by Christmas.
And, well, none of my candidates seem to have worked.
You seem to have found one. - And?
- You only have a week. That's seven days, 168 hours.
Have you kissed her yet?
- No. - Uh...
- But.. I'm, I'm waiting for the right moment.
- I don't believe this. You insist on pursuing
a romantic match instead of a sensible one,
but you don't make your move.
- My move?
- You know what I mean, Nicholas.
- Oh, Ernest.
With all due respect, I don't need your help in courting.
- How are you going after her?
- I'm taking my time with her, and letting her get to know me.
I'm not just going to rush in.
- It's time to start rushing.
- All right, what's going on? - What?
- You've barely said a word all night.
- There's nothing. - Is there a problem at work?
- No, not really.
- Is it Jake?
- No, he's fine.
- Well, we know it's not a man.
[gasps] So it is.
- It's, it's someone.
- And? - And it's...
- Who is it? - We're not dating..
- Well, who is it? - His name's Nick,
and I think he's single. - Uh, huh.
- And he's cute in this smiling, loving kind of way.
- Oh, that's good, 'cause drop dead gorgeous guys are usually jerks.
- Yeah, he's definitely not a jerk.
In fact, he is different than any man I've ever known.
- Oh.
- He's a big kid.
[Laugh] I mean, he's not Peter Pan, but he's fun, and uninhibited.
- Ooh, that sounds promising.
- Yeah, uh, he's very kind.
But we're working together right now,
so I think it's very inappropriate for us to even...
- Oh, it sounds promising. Beth, give it a chance.
- Yeah, well, we've just met.
- Uh... - So, um, he's not from here.
He's got to leave on Christmas Eve.
- [Laugh] Well, then strike while the iron his hot.
- I'm not striking nothing.
- Beth, you lit up just now when you were talking about this guy.
- I flickered. - I had not seen that in a long time.
It's good to see a little of the old Beth again.
- It's just a ... start.
- I researched the subject, and the steps are very clear.
- Thank you.
- Select your target. - Target?
- There's a certain amount of inane conversation,
but if the lady laughs at your jokes, that seems to be a good sign.
Then you buy her gifts, like flowers,
and chocolates, and if she likes those, you kiss.
And if neither one of you finds that nauseating, you close the deal.
- Ernest, where did you do your research, The Art Of The Deal?
- My point is, Nicholas,
that you're doing the same thing with this woman
that you've done with the job, and I know why.
- Oh, okay. Please, tell me, doctor?
- If you don't go in the kitchen, you won't get burned.
But you will go hungry.
- Come in.
- Hi.
- Hey. Reception didn't tell me you were here.
- I wanted to surprise you.
- [Laugh] Come in.
- Would you like to have dinner with me tonight, just you and I?
- Nick, uh, I would...
- Excuse me. Uh, Beth, we're having dinner with Hennesy tonight.
He wants to hear your ideas on the spring campaign.
Hi, Nick, nice flowers. I'll pick you up at 7:30.
- Sorry, Nick.
- Would you like me to baby-sit for Jake tonight?
- Be great. You don't mind?
- No. Uh, uh.
- Okay.
- Okay. [Laugh]
- Uh, nice roses.
- These are for you. I'll see you a little bit before 7:30.
- Paper, rock, scissors.
- Scissors. [Laugh]
- I got it . - Hate doing this to you guys. Sorry about this, guys.
- No problem, we'll have a jolly time.
- Okay. [doorbell] That's Andrew.
Hi. - Oh, good, you look good.
- Oh, thanks. - Good.
- Okay, be good, Jake.
- All right, we got to hurry.
- Don't argue about bedtime.
Just go to bed when he says.
Thank you so much for doing this, Nick.
- Have a great evening.
See ya. - Mm hmm.
- Now where does your mother keep the chocolate ice cream.
In there? Okay, let's go.
[Laugh] Come on.
♪ music box
- Goodnight. - Yeah, yeah.
- Oh.
- Hey, Nick.
- Yeah, hey.
- Sorry I'm late.
- Oh, I didn't even notice you were late.
I was just reading.
[Laugh] Gee willakers, hi.
- Hi. - You have a fun time?
- Oh, it was work.
- Oh, good.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I see you're boning up on your advertising.
- Yeah, no.
No, no, just, just tidying up, tidying up, just...
- Mm hmm. - ...helping you out around the house.
- [Laugh] Shall I make us some hot chocolate?
- Yeah, sure.
- Normally you would never disagree with a client,
but when he started to say that Meet The Beatles was their greatest album ever,
I had to say something 'cause of course it's Rubber Soul.
- Rubber Soul. Everybody knows that.
Beth, why did you stop believing in Santa Claus?
- What is it with you and Santa?
- Well, he's a really great guy.
- Really? - Mm hmm. Think of it this way.
He never brings you socks and underwear.
He hates fruitcake,
and he is the single largest employer of elves
in the entire universe.
[Laugh] What's not to like?
- I stopped believing in Santa when I was eight years old.
I asked him to grant me what I thought was one simple wish,
and he didn't of course.
So that's when I stopped believing.
You know what I miss about loving someone the most?
- Hmm?
- Knowing that I am everything to him,
and that he is the other half...
- The other half of your heart.
- Mom, I'm thirsty.
- Okay, sweetheart. Go upstairs and I'll bring you a glass of water.
- Mom? - Okay.
- I'd better go.
- Oh, you really don't have to.
- No, he needs you.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, Beth.
- Do you want to come around tomorrow?
- What time?
- What time's good?
- 4:00.
- 4:00 is good.

- Left foot, green.
- Okay. [Laugh]
- [Laugh]

[phone rings] - Don't move, mom. I'll get it.
- Okay.
- Hello?
- Jake, it's Mr. West. Is your mother there?
- Wrong number.
- Finally got him to bed.
[Laugh] He was excited.
- Sure.
- You're here. [Laugh]
- Beautiful night, isn't, it?
- Yes, it is.
- [Laugh] I'm usually not this smooth.
- Ah. Thought you were Cary Grant.
- Not even Hugh Grant. - [Laugh]
Just an ordinary guy.
- Oh.
- On a moonlight night,
with an extraordinary girl.
- Mm. Thank you.
- You only get one chance at a first kiss,
and I want it to be perfect.
May I kiss you, Beth?
[doorbell]
- Hold that thought.
[rapid doorbell]
Can you believe that? Unbelievable.
Andrew. - Finally. I've been trying to get through for hours.
Does your phone work?
- Uh, I think so.
- Did Jake tell you I called?
- Oh, nope.
- This has to get to the printer tonight,
and I need you to tell me why it doesn't work.
I can't put my finger on what's wrong with it.
Then we have to finish the rest of the campaign.
- Andrew, do you know it's 10:00 in the evening.
- I know, and if I'd been able to get through,
I would have been here hours ago.
- Listen, this is family... - If we don't get this to the printer,
then we miss the copy date. - I'll go. - Hi, Nick.
- Wait, don't go. - All right, should we just use this one?
- No, we have to use that one 'cause that one's terrible.
- Terrible. I made these changes myself. This is a beautiful duck.
- Yes. Keep the bunny and the egg, lose the duck.
- Lose the duck? - Lose the duck.
- And this is Christmas.
I've told you that. Put a red bow on.
- Beth, I really want you to be my vice president.
You do realize you're a very special person, don't you?
I couldn't do this without you.
- Thank you. I don't know what to say.
Um, it's such a generous, wonderful proposal,
but I am gonna have to think about it.
- What's there to think about?
- Everything. Jake, for one.
It's gonna affect him as much as it affects me.
- Well, you do realize your future is at stake here, don't you?
Hmm?
Okay, well, just promise me that you'll think about it
very carefully, and you'll let me know tomorrow, all right? - Tomorrow.
- [SINGING] We wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new year. - Good morning, Nick.
- Hello, Mary. [SINGING]
Happy holidays. [SINGING] - Nicholas.
- Ernest? - Over here.
Does she believe in Christmas yet?
- Not yet. I'm working on it.
- Have you kissed her yet?
- No.
- I gave you a game plan. What happened?
- Ernest, sometimes things don't go according to plan.
- You do realize that in less than 56 hours,
your father will take his final Christmas journey.
And in exactly 69 hours, you will take over as Santa Claus.
That's all the time you have, so make a believer of her.
- Yeah, well, he's only gonna be here one more day,
and I don't know where he's going.
I don't know if he's coming back.
You know, I don't know anything about him.
- But [Laugh] how do you feel about him?
- I think he's sweet.
- Sweet is what you call a grandmother, or a Danish.
He's a guy.
- Yeah, I know he's a guy.
- Well, when you look at him,
do you ever imagine what it might be like to...
- Joanie...
- ...kiss him?
- Maybe, yes, I do.
- All right, then, just, you know, just go with the flow.
Enjoy the time you have together.
- Yeah, I know. But it's not that simple.
I mean, what about Jake? Oh, gosh.
Jake just adores Nick.
It's gonna kill him when Nick leaves.
- Beth, what Jake needs most is a happy mom,
and Nick obviously makes you happy.
- Sorry I'm late again, kiddo.
- Oh, so, did you finish the campaign?
- Huh, uh.
- Oh, well, it'll be done by tomorrow, right?
- Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve, Andrew,
and I don't think I'm gonna come to the office.
- Why not?
- You turned him down, why?
- What, are you gonna make me say it?
Now that I remember what I forgot for so long,
that we were meant to be happy.
You make me happy, Nick.
- Yes.
- I'm gonna steal all the stars from the sky
and give each one to you each time you smile,
'cause making you happy is the greatest feeling in the world.
- Oh, Nick. You're everything I never realized I wanted.
- Beth, I've been keeping something from you.
I've got a secret.
- Uh, you're married.
- No, no. - Oh, good.
- It's not bad. - Good.
- It's kind of wonderful. - Oh.
- I hope you think so.
- I will.
- Beth... - Go ahead.
- I'm Santa Claus.
- [Laugh] No, really, go ahead.
- [Ho, ho, ho] I am, really. I'm Santa Claus.
- You're Santa Claus.
- [Laugh] Yeah. Well, I will be in two days.
- You will be in two days.
- Uh, Kris Kringle, that's what they call me in Germany.
- Nick. - Seriously.
- Oh.
- Uh, in, in French, I'm, uh,
le Père. Shèngdàn Laorén.
That's in, uh, China.
- Shèngdàn?
- [Laugh] Yeah, Santa Claus all over the world.
- Nick...
- I knew it.
- Honey. Um, you're Santa Claus?
- I'm serious.
- All those things that happened, just magic.
You have to be Santa. [Laugh] How do reindeer fly?
- Oh, that has to do with power and the thrust.
You see, the wind hits the wings of the sleigh.
That in turn hits the wings of the harness on the reindeer.
Boom, that gives them the lift,
[Laugh] 1700 years, that's been my family
ever since the first Saint Nicholas.
Since then, every generation has given the job to the eldest son.
This year, my father hands the reins over to me.
- That's enough.
- And you like my mom? How cool is this?
I'm gonna have Santa for a dad.
- Ho ho ho
- No, baby. Nick, this isn't funny.
- I'm not trying to be funny.
You wanted me to play Santa.
Well, you believed in me as a pretend Santa.
Now you've got to believe in me as the real thing.
- What? Are you a nut ball? Stop it.
- How do you get to every home Christmas night?
- Jake, stop it. And, you, stop it.
Go to your room, and I'm gonna come up there and talk to you.
- Beth...
- Goodnight, Nick.
- I know this is hard to believe.
- Well, yeah. - Look, you've known me long enough.
You've got to believe in me. You've got to trust me.
- What are you talking about? Why are you doing this?
- You've got to have faith in me,
and faith means believing without proof.
Beth, Jake believes in me. Why can't you try?
- He's a child. I knew it was too good to be true.
I finally find a guy I like.
It turns out he thinks he's Santa Claus.
- That last Christmas before you stopped believing in Santa,
you wrote him a note. - All kids do.
- And your last Christmas wish was that your father would come home to you.
- How did you know that?
- Beth, I can't do what I have to do unless I have you beside me.
I need you to believe in me.
- I need you to leave and never come back.
- Well, you think about what I told you.
You think about it with your heart,
not your head, 'cause your heart is so much wiser.
- Nickolas
I'm truly sorry.
- Nick's gone, isn't he?
We're never gonna see him again, are we?
- I'm afraid not.
- Why does that make you angry?
Shouldn't that make you sad?
- It does, honey.
- So you do love him?
- Mm.
- Well, I don't understand, mom.
If you don't believe in Nick, you get nothing, right?
- Right.
- So if you do believe in him,
you got nothing to lose.
- Jake.
Mary, where's Nick?
I need to talk to him.
- He checked out.
- What? Well, where'd he go?
- I have no idea.
He didn't leave a home address.
- Yeah, he wouldn't, would he? Sorry, Jake.
- You loved her a lot, didn't you, son?
Being able to love that way will make you great Santa,
even though you are on your own.
[grandfather clock chimes]
- It's time, sir.
- I'm on my way.
Everything will be fine, son.
