Karen : One present only each tonight. Who's got one for Dad?
Bernie : I have.
Harry : No, let Mummy go first.
Bernie : I'll get it.
Karen : No, no, no. I want to choose mine. I think I want...this one.
Harry : I have bought the traditional scarf as well but this is my other, slightly special, personal one.
Karen : Thank you. That's a real first.
Kids : Rip it!
Karen : (expecting the neckace, rips the present) What is it? I'm going to.All right, I'll rip it.
(gets disappointed) God, that's a surprise.
Daisy : What is it?
Karen : It's a CD. Joni Mitchell, wow.
Harry : To continue your emotional education.
Karen : Yes. Goodness. That's great.
Harry : My brilliant wife.
Karen : Ha! Yes. Actually, do you mind if I just absent myself for a second? All that ice cream.
Er... Darling, could you make sure the kids are ready to go? I’ll be back in a minute.
Harry : All right, take it easy.
(Karen goes up to the room and cries)
Bernie : Mine first. Mine.
(song)
(♪ Joni Mitchell: Both Sides Now)
♪ Moons and Junes ♪ And Ferris wheels ♪The dizzy dancing way that you feel
♪ As every fairy tale comes real ♪ I've looked at love that way
♪ But now it's just another show And you leave 'em laughing when you go
♪ And if you care ♪ Don't let them know ♪ Don't give yourself away
♪ I've looked at love ♪ From both sides now ♪ From give and take ♪And still somehow
♪ It's love's illusions that I recall ♪ I really don't know love ♪ I really don't know love at all
♪ Tears and fears ♪ And feeling proud ♪ To say I love you right out loud
♪ Dreams and schemes ♪ And circus crowds ♪ I've looked at life that way
♪ Oh but now old friends... ♪
Karen : Oh, my God. It's a miracle. You're all dressed. Come on, come on, come on, we're horribly late.
Come on, then. In the car. In the car.

Daniel : Has she noticed you yet?
Sam : No. But you know the thing about romances - people only get together right at the very end…
Daniel : Of course.
Sam : By the way, I feel bad I never ask you how your love life’s going.
Daniel : Ha! No. As you know, that was a done deal long ago. Unless of course, Claudia Schiffer calls…
in which case I want you out of this house straight away, you wee motherless mongrel.
Sam : Oh!
Daniel : No, no. We'll want to have sex in every room, including yours.
[Scene #60]
Male DJ : It's a rainy Christmas Eve all over the UK and the big question is who is number one on the Radio
One chart show tonight? Is it Blue or the unexpected Christmas sensation from Billy Mack?
You might have guessed it although you may not believe it. It's Billy Mack.
You are the champion! Shh.
Man : Hi, Billy.
Billy : Hello.
Man : We're live across the nation and you're number one. How will you be celebrating?
Billy : I don't know. Er, either I could behave like a real rock and roll loser and get drunk with my fat
manager... or, when I hang up, I'll be flooded by invitations to a large number of glamorous parties.
Man : Let's hope it's the latter. Here it is. Number one, from Billy Mack, it's Christmas Is All Around.
Billy : Oh, Jesus, not that crap again.
Woman : Bill, it's for you, babe.
Billy : Hello. Elton. O-Of course. Of course. Send an embarrassingly big car and I'll be there.
It's gonna be a very good Christmas.
