Un Mari Milliardaire pour Noël

This

is going to be the peak of my year.

I

can't believe we're going to meet Philip Edwards today. Yes, Mr. Edwards, our ultimate investor and president of the Warrantin Group. Although no one here has met him yet, I can't wait to meet him and wish him a Merry Christmas. All right, everyone. Mr. Edwards should be here soon. I want you all to look your best. Thank you very much. It's very good to see everybody. But I have a question for you. It is Christmas. What are you still doing here? Merry Christmas, Mr. Edwards. We are so honored to have you back in Ravenham.

And

I wanted to invite you to our welcome dinner.

Well,

you know, that is very kind of you. I actually just had a meeting with the governor, and I am running late to meet my wife. So I will see you guys all later. Thank you very much. I totally understand. But before you go, will you please accept these gifts we put together for you? Yes.

There's

a diamond brooch, vintage bottle from Hall's Vineyard, and exquisite porcelain pieces.

You

know, I did not get a Christmas gift from my wife this year, which means I could probably be in trouble. So, thank you very much. This is perfect. I wish you

could. You

know what?

My

wife worked at the automobile banks. I'm going to send you her information.

Can

you please take care of me? Yes, sir. Of course.

Bye,

everybody.

I'll see you

later.

His

wife is Caroline Baker? I can't believe it. He's

just...

...Affit. Draven doesn't really like my wife, so I'll treat this one myself.

He's

a

dad.

Yeah,

um, we're at

work,

which is, you know, got a

little

slow, and I thought I was coming through America.

Who's

this?

Yeah, so you can finally get a divorce from Caroline. Very nice to see you. Merry Christmas.

Yeah,

enough chit-chat. Here.

Sign

the divorce paper. Mom.

Philip

came all this way to spend Christmas with us. Do you really have to do this now? Spend Christmas with us? Oh, we don't need his company.

We'd

be so much happier if you are around. Doris. Enough, Mom. Stop being so mean to him.

I

want to force him to be

here. We

just asked Andrew here so that he could help us save our gifts today.

You

are so naive. You've married a loser who can't even earn a dime.

And

here you have a wealthy and handsome suitor right here.

And

you're still living with this loser.

A

suitor.

Charming.

Andrew is the R&D director of the Ravenham Auto Plant, and his father is the deputy plant manager.

And

if you hadn't come along, Caroline was married to him, and she'd be a rich woman.

Oh,

come on, Doris.

I

know you're right, but

let's

not take it hard on poor God.

What's the matter, boy? You got a problem with me? No, I just

want

you to stay away from my wife.

And

for poor,

I

don't think you know what you're talking about.

Well,

what else could you be?

Then

you can't even

afford

a car.

And

here you are telling Andrew to keep his distance from Caroline?

Let's

just stop talking.

Why

should I? I'm speaking the truth. Philip,

you

can't even afford

Andrew's car.

You'll never have something like that your whole life.

You're

right.

I

would never have a car with this.

At

least you know your place. Yeah, this is the cheap

Porsche,

right? Yeah,

I

didn't even make it in

last

year at International Auto Expo.

Yeah,

I would never, ever buy a car with

this.

And your jokes are terrible. Do you really think you could afford one? Do you have that kind of money?

An

International Auto Expo.

Do

you even know what it is?

That's

where the real elites

gather.

And

you'd think you'd be invited. Actually, yes. I

attended

for the first time this year. And I've been invited almost every single year. But I'm just busy.

Oh!

They've

been invited him every year.

Let

me guess. And then the governor invited you to his party.

Are

you talking about Henry? Yeah, Henry didn't have a party this

year.

Unbelievable.

This

guy is such a clown.

Well, I

don't even guess it's

time

you've done it. Go to the fairy tales. Okay. Caroline, there is one.

I've

been Henry and I

will

tell you it

too.

Okay.

I

don't have time for this

nonsense,

Caroline. The president of the Horton Group has just arrived in Ravenhill.

I

must help my father prepare the welcome bakery.

Bye,

Doris.

This

is all your fault.

Now

Andrew's upset.

Why

can't you just let Caroline be with Andrew?

Mom,

it's going so good.

I'm

sorry. Mom's a bit

hot

-tempered.

I

will always be by your side.

You

have waited for me for three years,

and

I am forever grateful for that.

I

just want you to know

that

wherever you are,

I will always be by your side.

I

missed you too. I'm really glad you're back.

Me

too.

Oh

my god, Caroline.

You'll

never guess happened. It's my best friend, Dan. I'll introduce you guys later. She's the shining star of the Horton Band.

All

right. That charming, huh? He's totally my type. Oh, by the way, Caroline, please help me pick out a sizzling dress.

I

must capture our young, hot president's eyes at the welcome dinner tonight.

You

got it, girl. Yay! Your mom smells bad.

Your

long-lost husband finally made it back.

Heidi,

you

know Philip was just working out of town.

Oh.

Well,

good for him.

I

was afraid we'd see him on the news for

robbing

a bank or

getting

arrested.

Heidi,

thank you very much for your concern.

All right,

all right. Heidi is just

messing

around.

Philip,

do you have any

gifts

for us?

Yes.

Nick, go ahead and

pick

whichever one you'd like. Sick brooches,

some

wine from a fake vineyard, and cheap ceramics that

won't even sell for 10 bucks.

Caroline,

dear,

are

you sure your man isn't

playing

a trick on us?

You

know that Philip's just the viewer talk time.

I'm

sure he handpicked these. No, Caroline, actually, these are some really expensive items, especially the wine. It's actually from a vineyard called Freya Vineyard.

Cut the

crap. Hall's

Vineyard.

Never

heard

of Hall's

Vineyard.

It's

probably some roadside dump.

Might

not even be safe to drink. Actually, Heidi, Hall's Vineyard was their old name,

and

this is actually a very rare wine. It's actually from their last batch. It's something that money can't buy,

to

be honest.

Stop making up stories, Philip. I've been drinking Freya wine for years.

They've

never changed their name. Dad,

even

if these gifts aren't worth much, it's a rightful. We appreciate them.

Thank

you, Caroline. You're very sweet.

Let's

use the wine for cooking and pawn the brooches and ceramics.

There's

something going on at Kesto's trading thrift store where junk like this can maybe sell for

ten

bucks. Now that is a good idea.

Philip,

you actually might be able to turn a profit on all this stuff.

Heidi, you've always been the brains of the family.

You

know,

the

ignorance at this table is really starting to get to me. Now, if Mr.

Draven

was here, who's the owner of that vineyard, he'd be able to tell you the value of these items immediately.

You clown!

Are

you insulting us? No.

I

am not strictly just telling you the facts. Now, if Mr. Draven was here,

he'd

probably be making you guys all crying and apologizing to me.

Hey!

What the hell's your problem?

Oh,

you think we're too stupid to realize how precious your little gifts are?

I

knew you were broke, but I didn't realize how big of a loser

you

were.

I'm

actually not broke.

Can

you guys just please give him a break? Philip's just been through a really tough time, and

why

does it matter how much these gifts are worth?

It's

about family and being together. Aw. Caroline,

you're

hopeless.

Thanks, sweetie. What's wrong?

Oh,

I know, but they don't make that one anymore. It's really hard for us to find the same kind.

I

won't find another way.

Doris, you can't get

the

toy car without the purchase of a real one, okay?

There's

nothing I can do.

Andrew's father is the deputy director at the plant. Caroline, can you

talk

to him? Maybe he can get Mike another Thunderblade 9X? Oh, that's a great idea, Doris.

Caroline, please, can you help us out?

No, no, no. That guy has a lot of malicious intentions towards Caroline. I think as her husband,

I

don't really want my wife to be around a guy like that.

I

don't mind

if

it's for Mike. No, honey, I'll get Mike a new

car. Yeah,

we'll get Mike a brand-new Thunderblade 9X, and with the toy car that comes with it.

And

it will be just a Christmas gift from me to him. Oh

my God,

I didn't know I think about it.

Girl, that is fun. Hey

Mike,

how

about this?

I

want you to pick out

any

car that you want.

And

the car that you pick out, the real one,

and

the toy model,

we

can call it a Christmas present for you. Yeah?

Dad, I

want you to take this

and

put it in your pocket. Not to marry him. You piece of trash! Divorce my girl and get out

of

my house. Doris, it's Christmas. Stay calm. Phillip, I've got an old friend, Bob. He's the Auto Plans Deputy Director.

I'll

see if he can get you a decent job.

Dad, listen, I appreciate you trying to help, but

I

don't think Bob

can find

a job that I

want. What

kind of job do you want? President of the Wharton Group?

Hey kid,

what

are you doing here?

Should

we be home for Christmas?

Do

you work here? Yeah, I'm head of the inspection department.

My

uncle gave me this note.

He

said I could pick out a car and get the toy model that comes with it.

Oh

boy.

I

want to sleep pranks.

But

it's just as useless as...

Oh

my god.

Is

this real?

This

has the one where his present signature on it.

What's

the deal here?

I

tried to get you a job and you throw it in my face.

Someone

like you should show some respect to Bob and not Apple.

Philip, listen, if

you

care so much about your so

-called

dignity, then getting a job, you're the biggest fool in the world. Mom, Dad, look.

He even drove it over for me.

A

real Thunder Blade 9X. Come, let's see.

Edition Phantom.

It's

at least eight figures.

Am

I dreaming?

This

is real, right? I mean, there's literally no way that Phil managed to

get

that car.

This

is unbelievable. Mike?

Where

did you get it? I

gave

Mr. Eamon this note, like this.

He

took me to pick out the car. He told me the signature on it was really important. Signature?

What

signature? Can I see the note? Sure. Can I go to my room and play with my new Thunder Blade 9X now? Yeah, of course, buddy.

Oh

my

god. I

get it now.

I

know exactly how Mike got the car. What kind of dirty trick Phil was playing here? Oh my god.

What are you talking about?

He's a damn

fraud!

Nick,

if you know something, you should just tell us.

The

key is the signature.

You

forged the Warren Group's executive signature, didn't you? Didn't you?

You

tripped that man into giving Mike the car.

Clearly not your first time.

You

are a piece of trash. Oh, wait. Guys, hold on. There's got to be some kind of misunderstanding here. Caroline, don't you get it?

Your

husband, Phillip, he is a fraud. No.

No,

guys, I don't believe that Phillip would do something like this.

Well,

thank you for your trust, Caroline.

You

know, I hate to say this to you all, but

you're

all

wrong. Wrong?

What

could we possibly be wrong about? Hmm? Explain that damn signature.

Well,

I'm actually... Caroline?

I'm

back. It's Andrew. He's back from his work. Let's deal with Phillip's issues later. We don't want to embarrass ourselves in front of Andrew. Doris, great news for you.

I

heard that Farrah, the plant manager, is coming by to wish you all a Merry Christmas, too.

You

are truly blessed. Everyone is showing you guys so much love. That's great. Sure is lively out there. I had to cut my physical therapy session short

so

I could join you guys. Draven, perfect time. This is Andrew. He's the deputy director of the Ravenham Auto Plant. He's spending Christmas with us. Isn't he a handsome young man? This gift is for you, Draven. Oh. I've got you a diamond watch. Okay. Thank you. And a top-tier bottle of wine from Freya

Vineyard. Andrew,

how did you know Freya Wines were my fave? Lucky guess. Andrew is always such a generous person, whereas some people bring us junk to ruin the holidays. Doris, whether you believe me or not,

a

truckload of good stuff can't even cover half of what I've got here. Idiot. You keep trying to sell us all this junk. We're not buying any more of your crap. Man,

you

deserve an Oscar.

A

broke guy like you trying to act rich in front of me,

I

just don't know how to help out. But

what

makes you so confident?

See

what I mean?

Look

at this moron. My father is the vice president of Ravenham Auto. I am the direct head of R&D.

In

case you don't know what that is, it's research and development. That factory is the lifeline in this town. I am confident because everyone respects him. See, you think you're funny. You won't be laughing for long.

No.

You apologize to Andrew or no one will be able to save you.

You

know, Doris, I hate to say this.

If

you want to help this man,

you'll

have him

apologize

to me. Are you insane?

I

got a death wish disrespecting Andrew. You know,

you

got some nerve. I think it's time to teach you a lesson. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, I apologize in advance for disrespecting

you.

If

you and your daddy want to keep getting ready to hand on it, you're going to fucking apologize to me right now. You fucking got it?

Please, disrespect.

Please just let him go. Don't hurt him.

I'm

calling my security right now.

They'll

teach you a lesson.

No. Enough. We're

here to spend Christmas together.

Let's

have something to eat. Anyone who is not hungry can get up and leave. Grandpa's right. Grandpa's right. This was just a huge misunderstanding. Let's just, let's all calm down and let's go have Christmas dinner.

You

have got to stop saying crazy things.

Listen.

I'm

worried about you. Top tier vintage from Free of Vingers.

It's

been 20 minutes.

He

can get it out. This is a rare treat indeed. Thank you so much for sharing with us, Andrew. This taste.

Grandpa,

what's wrong?

What did you add to this sauce?

Uh, just some cheap wine that Philip brought.

Do

you realize what you've done?

What

the

hell?

Is

this what they want? The wine?

Oh,

my God, I knew we should have thrown away this cheap stuff. Stop.

This

is a rare vintage from Frida Vineyards.

I

had this 20 years ago

at

the governor's house.

It's

an unforgettable taste. I wouldn't recognize it anywhere. But how is this possible? Draven,

that

bottle said Hall Vineyards, not Freya.

This

is from their century-old vineyard. One bottle costs a million dollars. The president would have a hard time to get access to this wine.

And

what did you do?

To add

the sauce?

Signed the

donation

agreement already, and they wired me ten bucks.

They're

coming to pick it up next week.

This

brooch is made of pure diamonds.

That

alone makes it priceless.

The

craftsmanship alone.

And

this porcelain.

This

porcelain, I've only seen it once before. It was in the private collection of a corporate CEO. It belongs in a museum.

Did

Philip give all of this to you?

I

knew he was the best, but

how

can you afford all of these?

Oh,

my head.

Grandpa?

Caroline,

could

you please take me up to my room?

I'm

feeling

faint.

How could you have the money to buy such expensive gifts?

You

know, Dora, I'm really happy that you're starting to realize who

I am. I

still don't believe that you could

afford

these.

How

did you manage to get these?

Wait,

did you

steal

these?

Nick,

stop

saying that. It's insulting. But

Caroline,

Caroline,

listen to this

guy's shit.

Just hold

on, everybody.

I

just realized

something. That

brooch looks really familiar.

The

plant manager at Ravenham Otto, Farrah, she had a brooch just like that. And she was going to have Joseph give it to

the

president of the Wharton Group.

Give

me the brooch. I'm going to listen to the text of Joseph and see.

That

is the brooch that

he

has prepared.

Which

means

that...

Scumbag.

I

should have known.

I

can't believe you did this. You idiot.

We

are done for. You filthy thief. Why don't you just tire him?

Did

he really steal the brooch from Farrah?

You guys,

you

got it all wrong. Oh, yeah, no, that is definitely the

pity. Now, I have not received the chance to reveal myself and you're going to treat me like this at a family dinner? That's ridiculous.

Still accident of the Wharton Group?

I

have never cared about the money. It's never been about that.

Hold

on a second. No, but I can't stand the thought of you lying and stealing and telling me this isn't true. You really don't

know that

they're lies.

They're

lying.

If you

can't be honest with me, then maybe it is better that we get a divorce. No, listen, you listen to me. I came here for you to find out the truth about me. I'm not lying.

You

need to believe me.

I've been

nothing but nonsense since you got here. But I'm telling you the truth. Not let Miss Ewing see this thief. We will never be able to explain it. Here. Now. Caroline, you can't believe me. When you find out who I am, what are you doing? Shut up. You're ripping my shirt. Shut up. That's

nice

to

see

you.

Caroline,

I

have exciting news for you.

Thanks

to a very concerned gentleman, you have just been promoted head of public relations of Ravenham Auto Company. That's really surprising. No need to be modest, Caroline. You're very deserving of this.

And

as for the gentleman who's been looking out for you and who helped you get this, well, we all know who that is. Thank you so much. I only mentioned Caroline's name. I didn't know that you would

promote

her so soon. Thank you for your trust and support. We won't let you down. No way. Oh, Andrew.

Thank you

so much. You are the shining star of the Baker family.

Please stop

this Christmas. Thank you. Andrew, I'm just,

I'm

not sure that I'm comfortable with this.

No,

Caroline, you are the most deserving person for this position. Actually, I've been meaning to ask you, where is your husband, Mr. Edwards? You know him? Of course. You're

modest. I

know you're Philip Edwards' wife.

Just

wondering why you never mentioned it before.

Why

is Miss Ewing so interested in Philip? What does she want with him? She must know that Philip's... Breaking this down again! Uh, no.

What

is going on here? Where is Mr. Edwards? I thought he was coming here to have dinner with you tonight.

No,

no, Miss Ewing, you're wrong.

We

don't know each other. Caroline is not married to him.

What?

Mom, what are you talking about? Oh, Caroline doesn't know any Philip. If Caroline had a husband, it would be Andrew.

Andrew

is a big admirer of Caroline. If things go well, they'll be married very soon. Uh, Miss Ewing, Andrew and Caroline are a perfect couple.

Oh,

my God. Do you even know what you're talking about? Caroline is Mr. Edwards' wife.

And

that I am sure of. Oh. That Philip Christmas. Caroline is going to divorce him. And so, we sent him off to the police station, and we are gonna make sure he's proper

serious.

The police station? You sent him to the police?

Oh,

my God. You seemed very upset.

What

did we do?

God,

Philip. He

deserves a bullet in his fucking head. You know, my brother Waylon works at the police station. I already told him to teach that son of a bitch a lesson. Enough!

Mom, you shouldn't have said those things.

I

am married to Philip, and I have nothing to do with Andrew.

Why

are you still defending that worthless husband? We are doing this for your future. You deserve a better man.

Yeah. Caroline.

Mother

knows best.

A thousand times better than that loser. Why don't you understand it?

I'm

going to get Philip.

My brother Nick told me to make sure you got what's coming to you, Philip.

Can

you tell me how you steal such expensive items

from

Miss

Farrah

Ewing?

I

didn't steal anything.

And

you're going to have a lot of problems when you realize that you're holding me here without any evidence.

You

think I respect you because I'm being civil? You're a piece of trash. I could beat you to death, and nothing would come out of it. Here.

Sign

this confession.

If

you cooperate,

I

might let you go home for Christmas.

And

what if I refuse? You're going to make me get violent.

It's

Christmas, so don't blame me for not showing any family loyalty.

I

could kill you right here,

and

nobody would care. One.

I'm

going to give you one last chance. Because we're family.

Put

down the gun, or you're going to face some consequences. You're not going to lie.

Are

you threatening me?

Well, we

have a problem

outside.

What

is it? I'm here. Why are you shooting a bird?

This

is serious.

Okay, spit it out. What is it?

Miss Farrah Ewing, the president

of Ravenham Auto Plants. She's outside. She's here.

Let's

go give her a warm welcome then.

Miss

Ewing!

What

are you doing here on the spot, Holiday? What are you doing?

This

piece of trash

is

going to steal the presents that you prepared for the president. Don't worry. I was just about to get it out of him. He was denying it, but I'm about to teach him a lesson.

He's

got the balls to steal from you.

I'll

make him pay. Waylon.

Dude, I

applaud your effort, but you better start thinking about how you're going to get on your hands and knees

and

beg me for mercy.

You're

still running your mouth.

I

can end you right here, cocksucker!

Man, things

are about to get a little messy.

I

suggest you wait outside so you don't have to see it.

What

was that for?

You

want to know why?

You

just disrespected the president of the Wharton Group.

I

should put a bullet in your head.

Him? He's

the president?

Now,

I told you that you were going to regret this. Do you remember that?

Sir,

I'm so sorry.

I

should have gotten here sooner. I'll make sure this is handled properly.

You

know,

it

was good that you got here late because I was able to witness these two dumbasses make a fool out of themselves. Or should I say,

please

forgive me.

Please,

I'm so stupid to recognize who you were

for

the sake of family.

You

want to talk about family now?

You

were just trying to put a gun to my head

and

shoot me, right? Farrah,

please

inform both these gentlemen's

family

that they're going to be going on

a little

business trip

for

a long

time.

Yes, sir.

Philip Edwards? Cody, right? You're the manager at the Warren Group.

Yes, sir.

What are you doing out here near the police stations?

Ravenham Auto is applying for a $10 million project. I'm here to assess it.

I

heard that you were arrested, so I immediately came out to find out what was going on

and

to basically ask who had the audacity to disrespect you?

Just a bunch of fools.

very

much for a week. I need you to look into the embezzlements at the auto plants and I think there's some fools that are trying to get the best of us.

Absolutely, sir. In fact, I've seen some discrepancies in the reports.

I

have a hunch, I have a feeling that that Bob who's the deputy director is moving funds out of the company.

Deputy

director Bob? Yes.

Cody, I

want you to throw a Christmas party this afternoon and I want you to invite Bob.

I'm

going to make a fool

out of him.

Can

you do that?

Absolutely, sir.

Carol,

she

skipped family gathering to come looking for me. God.

What

are

you

doing here? I thought you were getting a dress. I heard your husband stole something that was meant for the Wharton Group president. I can't believe this is happening. Carol, are you okay?

Philip

and I got into a fight and I really regret it. I know they're saying that he stole something but I just, I can't believe that and I'm sure that there's a mistake.

I

need to know you deserve better.

Look

at the Wharton Group president. He bought his wife such amazing gifts. She must be over the moon.

What

the hell are you doing, buddy? You trying to get yourself killed? Oh, Philip, my old friend. How are you? Bowen,

very

nice

to see you. You know,

you

should be thankful that I didn't get hurt.

Oh,

you'd be the one that gets killed.

Damn, Philip. Sure, you got all those days in high school but you know that doesn't mean shit. Now, one call from me

and

you won't know what hits you. Oh, so you don't want to apologize now and you're going to continue to

act

tough?

Yeah. So

what?

I've

got the money.

I've

got the power. I've got everything to be done. Look at you. So poor pathetic. Do you know who I am now?

I'm

the head mechanic at Ravenhand Auto Group

and

I've got dozens of men working under me and if you don't keep your mouth shut, well, I'll just have them beat you senseless.

You

know, from one small town thug to another one, impressive. should I applaud you?

Fuck

you. You have no idea what's coming to you.

What? The

Christmas party tomorrow? Everyone's gone?

Even

Andrew?

Perfect.

I was planning on dropping Andrew's gifts off pretty soon.

Yeah,

I'm hoping he can give me the new contract for the new auto repair project. They're applying for $10 million from the Wharton Group. Look, you're lucky

I

have bigger fish to fry. But next time I see you, you will be begging for mercy. Imagine how bad you'll feel when I become the boss's way and you're still stuck with that loser.

I

know that your boss is like the best, but let's not forget that he's married, okay?

Who

cares?

Oh,

by the way, did you hear the auto plant is hosting Christmas party this afternoon? Maybe the big boss will be there. You have to meet him. He's rich, handsome, he's got the whole package.
