I mean, obviously, it's not the
usual way of doing the pricing,

but I figured if we give people

a high percentage
of the money we make,

they'll be more likely
to give us more things

in the future, so...

In the end, everyone wins.

Have you told Flaxman?

Uh, no. No, I just want
to finish it first.

-Ah, Mr. Flaxman.
-Bernard.

This is Henry Hackford

of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art.

Uh, it's an honor
to meet you, sir.

Nice to meet you, too.

I'd like you to take him
through your new catalog.

The Museum are
potential purchasers

of many of your treasures.

Yes, right.

Um, I'm just kind of late
for something. It's...

Okay. Sure, sure.

Oh, it'd be a pleasure, sir.

Of course. Thank you.

Thank you.

[whispering]: Why are you
carrying such an ugly bear?

It's a particular focus
on cartography

and the natural world.

I'm really proud
of the breadth and...

range of pieces
we've got in this sale.

Thank you.

Work ye, Bernard. Work ye.

[squeaks]

[keys jingle]

Hello, Bernard.

Um, I-I'm so sorry.

I-- Let-let me just
explain everything.

I already know what happened.

It was,
"Of course, Mr. Flaxman,"

and work, work, work.

And you missed
your daughter's birthday.

I mean-- [sighs]

Uh, yes, t-that's
pretty much it.

Really, I'm so sorry, I ju--
[sighs]

Okay. Should I wake her up

so you can give her
your present?

Yeah, uh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, of course, um...

Uh, just give me one second.

I just, uh, I just need to
sort something.

[chuckles]

[breathing heavily]

Oh. Hey.

Hey. Hey, sweetheart.

[cartoonish voice]:
Happy birthday!

[normal voice]:
Huh? Okay. Yep.

Um, well, I...
I got this for you.

Groceries?

No, no, uh, let me just
help you with that.

It's a jewelry box,
golden jewelry box.

Unbelievable, Bernie.

I think it's stuck.

Uh, oh, this is
your first antique.

Isn't it pretty?

Sweetie, why don't, um...

you go to your room and pack
a bag for Grandma's, okay?

Okay.

[inhales sharply]
Oh, Bernie.

What are we gonna do? I, um...

I think I'm gonna take Eve
to my mom's like we planned,

but, uh... I'm just gonna
need some time there.

At least through
the holidays and...

I-I think it's best
if you don't come.

[chuckling]:
What?

Julie, no-- please,
y-you're kidding.

Please be kidding.

No, Bernie, I am so not kidding.

This is the least funny
conversation of my life.

It's been going on
for such a long time.

It's like...

It's like you've
forgotten who we are.

And what a family means. And I--

I'm really sorry about the box.

What she really wanted for
her birthday was a dollhouse.

Though I'm sure an hour of
her dad's undivided attention

would've been just as good.

Bernie, it is one thing
to drop the ball with me,

but with Eve?

[footsteps approaching]

[Eve clears throat]

JULIE:
I'll be back, okay?

You missed my birthday.

Oh, I'm--
I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

Mom says you're
a selfish bastard.

S-She was joking.

Well, d-darling...

FLAXMAN:
Come in.

♪ Please come home

Bernard. Sit ye. Sit ye.

♪ Once again.

Thank you for taking me
through the catalog last night.

It was very eye-opening.

Well, I'm glad
it was for you, sir.

I have to say, it was
a complete disaster for me.

Oh, dear.

By the time
I got home yesterday,

I'd missed
my daughter's birthday.

And then, my wife,

uh, she decided
that she was gonna...

well, sort of move out
for a bit.

That's terrible.

I need to find a way right now
t-to make things right.

What I'm trying to say
is I-I'm gonna need

more than just the holidays off.

I'm gonna need a few more weeks

to fight for my marriage.

Mm.

Yes, of course you are.

Oh.

Really? Oh, thank you, sir.

Will that be enough, though?

I-I honestly don't know, sir.
I hope so.

And what if we take it
one step further?

What if we extend
this sabbatical

to say, I don't know, 12 months?

And after that,
another 12 months.

And then another 12 months.

Are you-- are you suggesting
I take three years off?

Five years. Ten years!

Let's go nuts!
[chuckles]

All right. It sort of sounds
like you're firing me, sir.

[laughing]:
Yes, I suppose I am.

You're a very evil person, sir.

Or a very clever businessman.

And you'll have years
to decide which. [laughs]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Bernie.

Hey, Lenny.

What do you think?

They let me spruce
the place up a bit.

Seasonal. Everyone's included.

Yeah, it's very nice.

How you doing, man?

Very badly.

I can tell by looking at you.

It's making me sad.

Okay, well, sorry
to be a downer.

No, no, you want to talk? You
want me to get another chair?

You want to-- I g--
I'm reading this great book.

This might be helpful.

It's a book
about parallel universes.

You know about this?

There might be another you
in another universe,

having a great life right now.

Maybe think about that.
That's uplifting.

Is it not?

Do you-- What are you doing
for Christmas?

You want to come over?

You can hang out with the cats.
It's fun.

You watch them, they fight.
There's one that lives outside.

Oh, my God!

You'd think I'd get used to it,

but I never do.

[grunts]

Okay, no, no, no,
you stay back, just stay back.

I-I don't want to hurt you,

but I will hurt you

if you-- if you don't
get out of here.

No, no, no.

H-Help!

Oh, no. It's fine. What do
you want? What do you want?

Seriously, you can

Is this better?

Is it-- Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Then let's get to it.

Your wish is my command.

[laughing]:
Yeah, okay, yeah, no.

[panting]:
That's funny 'cause of the--

I wish you'd stop
trying to kill me.

Oh, this? No, this is--

That's just force of habit.

Who are you?
How'd you get into my house?

Oh, wh--

I was in the box.

O-Okay, sure.

Listen, uh, look,
I-I don't judge you,

or whatever recreational
prescription drug

of choice you've taken.

Just don't touch that. I-I need
you to get out of my house.

Okay? Seriously,
how did you get in?

Okay, I'm going
to talk slower for you.

That box...

that you were rubbing...

I was in it.

[chuckles] Okay, sure.

Sure, and how-- and how do you

get inside a box
that's nine inches wide?

Really good question.
It's a really simple answer.

You know, classic setup.

Angry sorcerer.

[gasps]

You know, crazy eyes.

-Pointed a finger at me.

Puff of smoke. Spinning and
turning trough time and space.

The next thing I know,

I'm inside this stupid box.

[laughing]:
Okay, wow, wow.

I know!

Now, that's a strong move.

The "I'm a genie"
home invasion excuse, that's--

It's not an excuse.

I am a genie.

Right, yeah.

-Right, right, right.
-Mm-hmm.

BERNARD:
Damn.

I mean, the whole thing is--

No, no, no, you-you...

-Back off.
-Okay. All right.

Let's just...

You make wishes,
and then I make them come true.

That's how
this whole thing works.

Okay, so you're saying
you're an actual genie.

-Correct. We're like ghosts.
-Sure.

Or-or dragons or unicorns.

You know, it's like
you-you think we don't exist,

and then you bump into one
and you're like,

"Oh, hey. Oh, look at that.
A genie, genie, genie.

Genies everywhere."

Okay, well, you better get

your next alibi ready
pretty quick.

Okay, how about this?
Um, I-I wish...

Bring it.

...that my phone wasn't dead.

A-And, oh, I know.
How about a camel?

I wish I had my very own camel.

Huh? That seems
reasonable, right?

Sure thing, boss.

It's whatever floats your boat.

[phone chimes]

Okay, uh...

I mean, that's
a coincidence. The...

Hmm.

Is that a coincidence?

the camel wish back.

I just don't want Eve
growing up with a dad

who never seems
to put her first.

I had to push back
at some point.

-That's right.

God, the problem
with Bernard is...

And you know I still love him.

But the problem is that
he thinks everything

will just be okay in the end.

Hmm.

[scoffs]

He is my guy,

but...

he just won't live
in the real world.

[both laugh]

Wow. This is so cool.

Oh, my grandma always
used to say,

"You don't get nothing
for free."

I wish she could see me now.
[chuckles]

Hello, Bernard.

[gasps]

Oh, look at you.
You're as thin as a rake.

Okay, on second thought,
no hard feelings, Grandma,

I wish she couldn't.

Got it.

I-I did not like that.

-[chuckles]
-Okay, so wait, am I...

Have I blown it already?
Am I already out of wishes?

No, keep at it.

What about the whole
three wishes thing?

[whispers]:
Fairytale stuff.

[normal voice]:
Real genies, unlimited wishes.

Wow, we have to be very careful,
don't we?

Uh, you do.
If you want my advice,

I would say
use the words "I wish"

with the caution that you
would usually reserve

for "please castrate me."

Just, you know.

[blows nose]

[sniffles] Oh.

What?

-Problem?
-What? N-No, no. Me? No problem.

No, blow away. [chuckles]

I-I just suppose a lot
of things have changed

since you were last out.

-Always do.
-Oh.

It's different
every single time.

Wow, so you've been
out of the box before?

Oh, yeah. I mean, here
and there, yeah. But, I mean...

I don't know,
from the looks of this place,

I'm thinking, this time,
it's been a really long one.

I mean, give or take
a day or two,

-if-if-if my dating on the box
is right... -Yeah. Okay.

I'd-I'd say about...
2,000 years.

2,000 years?

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Okay.

That's new information to me.

-Is it?
-That's... Yeah.

All right, well...

[sighs] Let's just get to work.

Just hit me.
You know, tell me what you want.

Is it girls?

Gold? Golden girls?

-Extra girls in gold, or what?
-Yeah, no, no,

-come on. That's...
-Well, I mean,

you don't have to be
embarrassed.

I know the score. You know?
I make you rich,

you go live in a palace,
you get five wives,

you start to get fat,
then you get mad at me,

-and you put me back in the box.
-No, no.

You've actually got me
all wrong.

Uh, money can't help me. It's...

Uh... [sighs]

My wife and kid, they-they
just left for her mum's

and looks like it might be
the start of a whole...

a "trial separation" period.

What is-- What are we--
What is this?

-What are we doing?
-Oh, no, nothing.

And, uh, then my boss
went and fired me.

Wow, that is "tough."

Yeah, that's not really
how it w-works.

Okay, well, I like it,

and I've been in a box
for 2,000 years,

so I'm just gonna keep that one.

-Sure, okay.
-So, about your

sleazeball "boss," um,

do you want me to kill him?

I'm kind of a sword
and slice gal.

I just get in... [grunts]
get it done.

Um...

I will go with no.

-Oh.
-I mean, thank you.

Okay, that's too bad
'cause I'm...

It's kind of like my specialty,

-if you know what I mean.
-Sure.

Okay. Hit me with it.
What do you want?

My three big wishes
would be to-to get my child

to love me again,
to get my wife to love me again,

and for us all to be happy.

Oh. Okay, uh,

it doesn't work like that.

Uh, wishes can't change
people's feelings,

but, yeah, that's

just kind of one of
the big rules. It's like a no.

Okay, um... Right.

-We've-- That's a problem.
-Yeah.

Can I just ask, time travel,
can we do that?

'Cause that could solve
everything.

Or is that not...

That's a "no can do."

No time travel. That's crucial.

You would just destroy
the history of the world.

I don't know,
maybe we can figure out

some kind of plan
that would "encourage

your wife and child"

to start to feel differently
about you. Right?

Yeah, good. Good.

-You're right.
-Yeah.

-It's time for action.
-O-Oh, great.

-It's time for action.
-Oh.

-I like this.
-I-I wi-- Oh, by the way,

-my name's Bernard.
-Oh, Bernard.

-Yeah, Bernard Bottle.
-Bernard. Oh, Bernard.

Bernard. Bernard Bottle.

Maybe you ever--
You ever just go by "Nardo"?

Uh... uh, I don't

-personally, no.
-No? Okay, think about it.

Uh, Flora Gwendolen Locheed,

uh, Firepit McAllister.

-Oh, beautiful name.
-Yeah. Oh, well, thank you.

So nice to meet you.

It's so nice to meet you, too.

-Yeah. Okay. [chuckles]
-Yes.

-That's good. Thank you.
-Oh, is that good? Okay.

-Oh, got it. And then it stops.

-That's it.
-Got it.

we were at my
mother-in-law's house.

I can do that.

Okay, okay. What's the plan?
What're we gonna do?

I-I don't know. I'm winging it.
Maybe this was a bad idea.

-May-Maybe.
-Was it?

It's better to have a plan
than not a plan.

Okay, but you know what?
We're here now.

So, let-let's
do something, okay?

-Right?
-Okay.

We're going back to,
you know, back in my day...

-Right.

was trying to woo,
you know, someone, suitor,

-whatever you want to call it...
-Sure.

Mating dance.
You want to keep

-Okay.

...and this clockwise.

Don't ever
sync them up together.

I don't know if I-I can do that.

Is that...?

-Okay.
-Oh, God, no, she saw me.

-She saw me.
-It's good.

-You can talk to her.
-Ah. What am I gonna say?

-Can't we just vanish?

Bernard?

W-What are you doing here?

Hi. Um...

I-- You know what?
I-I-I was just passing through,

and I thought
I'd-I'd just check to see if

-you got here okay. [chuckles]

Who-who is this?

-Flora.
-Um...

This is F-Flora, yes.

-She's-she's a-a friend...
-Yup.

Yeah, it's nice
to meet you, ma'am.

Um, you know, we-- Uh...

I do work with Nardo.

You know, we go to
the workplace together,

and we-we do work things in our,

in our work location.

BERNARD:
You know what the funny thing--

The reason why
you look so awesome is--

You just went to a Renaissance
fair, didn't you?

Didn't you?

-Didn't I?
-Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Look, Bernard, I don't know...
what you're up to,

but I-I think
you should go home.

-Too much. Too weird. Get--
-Yeah.

Go sleep it off.

So nice meeting you.

It's-- Uh,
I-I like your sweater.

[door closes]

I think that went well.
[clicks tongue]

I wish we were back at my place.

FLORA:
Think, Nardo.

What is the way
to get to a woman's heart?

Uh, love, kindness,
consideration,

offering to do the washing up...

Okay. A-All of that's lovely,

but, also,

a massive sack full of gifts
is really good, too.

Okay. We can crack this.

Uh, are there any markets
near here?

Yeah. I mean, sure, a few.

I mean, this town's
pretty famous for its shopping.

Oh, we're in a town?

Yeah, quite a big one. New York.

Oh, a new town.
Well, la-di-da-di.

But, um, for now,
why don't we get some food?

You must be pretty hungry

after a couple of thousand years
in a small box.

Uh, you can say that again.

Well, uh, uh, I wish we had

a large pizza
from John's on Bleecker,

extra pepperoni, extra cheese.

Ooh!

Hmm.

-BERNARD: Ta-da.
-FLORA: Huh.

Hmm.

I mean, I-I don't want
to hurt your feelings, but, um,

it just seems like things

maybe were a little bit better
back in my day.

We would wolf down,
like, a whole fresh deer,

or snatch a salmon
right out of the stream

with our bare hands
and just, ah.

You know, this is, what?

Okay.

This is just a triangle
of red bread.

Well, yeah, I-I mean,
I get what you're saying,

but why don't you just
give it a try?

-Really?
-Yeah, give it a go.

[sniffs]

-Mmm.
-Huh?

-Wait a minute.
-Yeah?

Wait an ever-loving minute!

This is heaven.

See? Some new things
are pretty cool.

Uh, uh, this.

-This is gonna blow your mind.
-Okay. [chuckles]

Whoa. Uh,
that's not what I meant.

Eh, that's not
really what it's for.

It's not as good.

Really? Um, no.

Just, uh, pick a song.
Hit something.

That's not what I meant.

Maybe a bit more gentle.

Oh. What is it? Oh, "Spotifee."

BERNARD: We call it Spotify.
Okay, just one.

[whispers]:
Gentle, gentle, gentle.

-One line. Yeah.
-[normal voice]: Oh, just one.

Sort of works? I look fantastic.

I think Julie might love it.
Look, and...

Okay. Sorry. She's new in town.

What is this? That's so pretty.

-It's beautiful.
-[whooshing]

Your presence is my present.

[laughs] Get it?

-You need to stop. [laughing]
-FLORA: Wait, wait.

Oh. [laughs]

It's hard to run in these.

Pretty good haul, huh?

-You think so?
-Yeah.

I think Julie and Eve
are gonna be pretty excited.

Well, I hope they are.

-Oh, my God.
-What? What?

I had just hoped that
by now that this

kind of torture had stopped.

This is a gym.

They-they actually pay
to do these things.

[scoffs] Yeah. Okay, good one.

I will avenge thee!

Okay, you need
to stop that. Sorry.

I will avenge thee!

-Sorry.
-[sighs]

SANTA: And what would you like
for Christmas this year?

Hey, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

Why-why are all these people
standing in line

to see Mr. Beardie?

Ooh, is he like the king
or an emperor or something?

BERNARD:
Uh, no, it's actually,

it's just
the whole Christmas thing.

Basically,
the guy with the beard,

he flies around with
a bunch of reindeer.

-Okay.
-Uh, he goes down the chimney

and puts these presents
in these huge stockings that

kids hang along the fireplace.

Kind of amazing
'cause you had a hard time

believing in genies,
but, uh, okay.

BOY: I want a car
and a rocket launcher.

Here is your pencil. [chuckles]

Christmas is also the time kids
learn all about disappointment.

Yeah, m... Ugh.

-Here you go, sir.
-Oh, thank you.

Enjoy.

Excuse me, Bernard.

You, sir, are an artist.

-Thank you.
-Wow.

-[chuckles] Thanks. All right.
-Wow, wow, wow.

Okay, so tell me about this
whole Christmas thing of yours.

Oh. Uh, well, it-it's
become really commercial,

but... originally,
it was meant to celebrate

the birth of this guy. He was,
he was called Jesus Christ.

Wait, what? Jesus? Are you
talking about Mary's kid?

Yeah.

What? I knew him.

What did he do to get so famous?

You... [chuckles] Wow. Okay, uh,

well, he turned out to be
the Son of God.

[gasps] Oh, no,
I thought he was kidding.

Wait, what?
You-you actually met him?

Yeah. Oh, my-- yeah, last time
I was out of the box.

This is amazing, like...

What? I mean,

okay, what was,
what was he like?

What was Jesus like?

You know, he's Jesus.
He's just kind of like, "Hey."

But financially under-ambitious,

to tell you the truth.
I mean, I did say to him once,

I'm like, "With your talents,

"I mean water,
kaboom, into wine,

conjuring fish out of thin air."

I said, "Big J, we should open
a restaurant together."

You know, we could call it,
like, "Something Fishy"

or "Oh, My Cod."

Goody Two-shoes didn't want
anything to do with that.

Hey, well, I mean, to Big J.

-To Big J.
-Hmm.

Okay, how about this,
how about this, um...

Oh, I wish we could go back
to Santa's Grotto.

You got it.

Hello. Merry Christmas.

BERNARD:
Okay, so, um, I wish that

all these kids got
everything they wanted.

Ooh, he thinks
he's gonna get a pencil.

He is so not just gonna
get a pencil.

I really wouldn't worry

I wish the place had cherry.
That's my favorite flavor.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, you don't happen
to have cherry, do you?

Yeah, actually, it just came in.

Well, look, it's so good to see

Oh, and don't let me forget--
before I go,

I've got-- I-I've got
one or two things in the car

that I'd really love
to give you.

JOHNNY:
Hey.

-Sorry, we're late, guys.
-Oh. [chuckles]

Oh. Uh, Bernie,
uh, you remember Johnny?

We grew up together.
This is his daughter Emma.

Uh, they live next to my mom.
I'm sorry.

I should've mentioned that
they were coming to meet us.

No, no, it's good.

-Yeah.
-Nice to finally meet ya.

Yeah.

It's been so lucky
having them next door.

I mean, as you can see,

been a lot of distractions

-That's fair.

Okay, what do you need me to do?

about that.

Why?

BERNARD'S MOTHER:
I'm still a little confused.

Where are Eve and Julie?

-DIANA: Great question.
-Yeah. [chuckles] Right. Um...

We're-we're actually on a...
[inhales deeply]

bit of a break at the moment.

-[whistles] -A break. What-what
does that mean, a break?

-Well, l-let me explain.
-BERNARD'S MOTHER: Bernie,

-you've got to work
on a marriage. -I know.

Yeah, you can say that again.

Excuse me.

See? See, this is why
I never took the plunge.

You know? Some stallions,
they just need to roam free.

MARVIN: Bernard, hey, look, man,
if you ever want to talk,

mano y mano,

I'm here for you, bud.

DIANA: Yeah, you're not using
that correctly.

MARVIN:
Actually, I'm pretty sure I am.

'Cause it's man friend
to man friend.

Who's ready for dead bird?

Huh?

That is a strange bunch.

I mean, you're telling me?

[chatter in distance]

I-I j-- I just wish
I could find a way

to make them happy, you know?

Wait a minute.

Okay. I have a fantastic plan.

Risky...

but I think fantastic.

All right, guys,
just l-listen up.

I've-I've got something
I'd-I'd love to tell you.

It's about me and Flora.

Mm. See? Told you.

He's already got
a new girlfriend.

No, it's-- it is--

it's nothing to do with that.

It's-it's-it's...

Uh, um...

How do I say this?

Um, Flora, she's a genie.

-[chuckling]
-A what?

-BERNARD: Don't laugh.
-[laughing] -What?

-What? What? -BERNARD:
She can make wishes come true.

-Yeah.
-As you all know,

it's only three wishes.
Absolutely only three,

-but, yeah, that's, uh...
-Yeah. Three.

-Yeah.
-That's my Christmas gift to...

each one of you. Three wishes.

Pretty good gift, right?

-[Bernard chuckles]
-PETE: Okay,

-okay, he's lost his mind.
Julie's left him... -What?

...and he's lost his mind.
I mean,

you all thought I was the one
who was gonna go off the rails.

But, no, perfect Bernard...

Don't do that. Okay, it's true.

For example,
Mar-Marvin, you just...

you just had to wear
that Harvard sweatshirt,

again, even though
we all know Diana hates it.

-Because he didn't go
to Harvard. -[chuckling]

-Why wear it? -[groans]
-BERNARD: I wish

Marvin was wearing something
Diana actually liked.

-[others gasping]
-[coughs]

[gasping]

And I wish Dad could be
more like the man

Mum fell in love with.

-[yelps]
-[gasping]

-DIANA: Oh.
-[chuckles]: Whoa.

-BERNARD'S MOTHER: Oh, my God.
-BERNARD: And...

I wish Pete would stop referring
to himself

as a "lone wolf" and just
sign up for all the dating apps.

-[phone vibrating]
-[chuckling]

-[gasps]
-BERNARD: There you go.

There's my three.

Proof is in the genie pudding.

Am I right?

I wish
I had my old husband back.

BERNARD'S FATHER:
Oh, God.

I actually have
three big ones planned.

First, I wish
for my own whole set

of Honma titanium golf clubs.

-[others gasping]
-Oh!

[stammers] You don't--
you don't even really like golf.

You just like wearing
your weird wicking fabric shirts

and drinking in the clubhouse.

Baby, I wish
you would stop talking

and just let me get on
with this.

Uh, uh...

[others sighing, gasping]

Does that mean Diana's never
gonna be able to talk again?

Unless Marvin
was to wish for her

not to be able
to not talk anymore.

Oh, come on.

Dude!

Uh...

MARVIN:
Okay.

Yeah, whatever.
I, like, wish that...

Diana could talk again.

[exhales sharply]

-Huh.
-[others gasping]

Well, thanks, babe.

Marvin, I wish
you would just go to hell.

-[gasping]
-Oh...

Okay, please stop!

Is anybody gonna wish
Marvin back from hell?

Damn it.

Fine.

[sighs]
I guess...

I guess I wish
he'd come back from hell.

-[yells, coughs]
-[others gasping]

-BERNARD'S MOTHER: Oh, my God!
-[mutters]

What was it like?

Uh, I think it's pretty obvious.

Very hot down there.

-Mm. -And how does
the devil look like?

W-Well, he kind of looked like
Ricky Gervais.

-[chuckling]
-BERNARD: All right, stop.

You're a family.
You're my family.

This is our one real chance
for happiness.

Please,

just... focus.

-Yeah.
-BERNARD'S MOTHER: Actually,

Bernard,

I just wish
this whole thing was over.

Done.

[sighs]

Oh.

Oh, wowzers.

[groans]

I mean, in all my years,

I have never seen
anyone use the wishes worse.

Yeah.

[horn honking in distance]

I mean,
we've got to be so careful.

All my family could
literally have gone to hell.

One of 'em did.

Yeah.

Okay. It's WWTCD time.

What's that?

"What would Tom Cruise do?"

-[chuckles]
-[chuckles] Because Operation

Bring Julie and Eve Back Home
is not Mission: Impossible.

What is it?

What?

It's Wishing: Impossible.

[mimics cheering]

You know, I think
we should start with, like,

kind of sprucing up the place
for Julie.

You know?
Which means probably getting...

rid of quite a few of
these old, dusty Nardo trinkets.

This is our first fix.

[exhales]

You know what? You're right.

She actually always hated
this thing.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. I can't imagine why.

Is it your shirt?

Uh, no, it's not mine.

It's actually--
He was a famous footballer.

Do you have his underpants
or trousers?

-[chuckles]
-It's not a crazy question.

Yeah, no,
I don't have his pants.

So does anybody else have
your shirt

or maybe, maybe your underpants
under glass in their house?

Well, not yet, but...

Okay. All right.

Think we should swap it
for something

maybe, maybe
that Julie would enjoy.

What?

Let's swap it for something

-deeply respectful. You know?
-Oh, okay. All right.

Um... [inhales]
Go on. Make it the Mona Lisa.

I mean,
she could have smiled, right?

N-No, no, no. That's really--
that's very much the point.

Ah.

Okay. Well, I don't know.

I think
we're off to a good start.

All right.

That's what I'm talking about.

-Well done!
-Oh, thank you.

I mean, look at this, right?

I think Julie's gonna love it.

But you see? Everything's
gonna be perfect again.

And you're gonna be back
with Julie and Eve, and I'm...

you know, I'm-I'm g--
I'm gonna be...

-[inhales]
-What?

Uh, nothing. You know?

I'll-I'll be around.

You know? Doing my thang.

-[chuckles] -Which, of course,
is doing your thang...

for you.

Which is great.

Okay, put a-- put a fork in me,
I'm done.

Uh, that's-- I don't want you
to put a fork in me.

-I'm just tired.
-Okay.

[chuckles] What do you say
we order in for dinner?

I don't think either of us
could be bothered to cook.

That's a great idea. Let me
go out and get something.

Okay, but maybe we shouldn't do
pizza from that place again.

Oh, come on, those are
the best pizzas ever.

You know what? You're right.
Get me that pizza

-and get it right now.
-Yeah?

-Yes. Now.
-Really? Mm.

-Mm.

Evening, Charles.

Evening, Mr. Bottle.

[indistinct chatter]

Lenny, how you doing?

I'm great, man.
I'm living the dream.

What, are you kidding me?
Beats wearing a uniform

and hailing cabs
for jerks like you.

-[chuckles] -What are you doing,
you coming in?

-Yeah, thank you, Chef.
-Oh, great.

Let me get that door for ya.

-Oh, come on. -Come on,
it's like old times, pal.

Hey, honey.

Give us a nice hot one.

Of course.

One perfect pepperoni
for old Bernie boy.

I'm guessing you want
extra pepperoni?

Yeah. Please.
