Ah, Christmas morning, darling.
Time to relax and let spiritual values take over.
Yes. Pour me a drink, Reggie.
Certainly, darling. Oh, very good.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Yes, a time to feel warm and human towards one's fellow man.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Oh, my God!
There you are, darling, nice long drink. Thank you, darling.
I just called to see if you were all right, Mr Perrin.
You seemed under a strain at the office.
Yes, I was under a strain at the office, Joan, but I'm not at the office now,
so I'm not under a strain. I'm all right.
It was lovely of you to call, Joan. Let me help you on with your coat.
-Reggie! Drink. -Yes, please.
Oh, yes, yes, uh...
-Do you want a drink, Joan? -Please.
We were just saying that we hoped someone would come round,
-weren't we, Reggie? -Yes, we certainly weren't.
All alone on Christmas morning. And then suddenly...
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Oh, my God. There you are, Joan.
-Are you really all right, Reggie? -Yes, of course I'm all right.
Stop asking if I'm all right, all right?
-Yes, it's just that... -I'm sorry. You all right?
Yes, I'm all right. Sorry.
Morning, Reggie. I came round to see if you're all right.
Yes. I'm all right, CJ, I'm very relaxed.
-(DOORBELL RINGS) -Oh, my God!
Leave the door open, darling, let them all pour in. Drink, CJ?
-I felt I had to call, Reggie. -Did you? What a shame.
I'm not an ostrich who buries his head under a bushel.
You certainly aren't , CJ.
I didn't get where I am today by burying my head under a bushel.
Absolutely not, CJ.
-Oh, David, really this is absolutely... -Super.
-Precisely. Drink? -Super.
-Sorry. -What?
People keep telling me I keep saying "super".
Better than that dreadful Tony with his constant...
Great! Well, everybody here.
Gatheringville, Arizona. Great.
Just popped round, Reggie, to make sure you're all right.
I'm better than all right, Tony. I am great.
-Great. -Super. Sorry.
-Good news is better than no broth. -Absolutely, CJ.
I felt I had to call, Reggie.
As your personal physician, I had to make sure you were all right.
-He's all right. -No, Doc. I'm not.
I'm not all right, no, no. I feel as though I'm on an endless savannah,
herds of angry buffalo are stampeding towards me from every direction
and I am a stranded water beetle with terminal drooping of the left antenna.
So do I. I wonder what it is?
Hello, all. Christmas greetings, all that kerfuffle. Elizabeth.
Reggie, won't kiss you. Aren't French. How's Mother?
Oh, my God. No, not her as well.
-Just called to see if you're... -He is.
-Great. -Super.
Oh, just wondered, as I'm here...
Fact is, a bit of a cock-up on the catering front.
Christmas day, no nosh.
Brats brawling and a distaff side in a tiswas.
Just wondered... Odd scrap...
Turkey, Christmas pudding, that sort of cape, eh, Jimmy?
-Yes, if you've got 'em. -Help yourself, Jimmy.
-Thanks, Reggie. -Oh, Reggie!
But, darling, darling, Christmastime! Christmas, time for giving. Yes.
A drink, everybody? Yes, come have a drink.
Everybody must have a bottle now. Here we are. Doc.
Have a bottle.
Because greed, you see, materialism, the curse of the acquisitive society.
You can help me throw off these shackles.
Well, thanks, Reggie. This really is Generosityville, Arizona.
If you feel better by giving, that makes me feel better about taking.
Even if it makes me feel worse about not giving. Super.
Yes, yes. Presents, everyone. Ah, here we are, Doc.
No, no. No, no. This is from me to you.
I don't want it.
No, no, nor do I. CJ gave it to me last year.
CJ, that's for you.
I didn't get where I am today by taking a gift horse to water
after the stable door was open.
There we are, Joan. Yes. There. Yes, everyone. There we are.
-Thank you very much. -Thank you.
Thank you very much. Literally saved our bacon.
And your chipolatas and bread sauce as well, eh?
It's Christmas, Jimmy. It's better to give than to receive.
Absolutely. Any chance of any booze as well?
Jimmy.
Excuse me, sir, but the door was open.
Have you got anything for a dirty old tramp, sir?
Oh, yes, yes.
Ah, darling. Doesn't it make you feel warm and wonderful and free?
No, Reggie. Actually, it doesn't.
No. Nor me. Wonder what went wrong?
