There he is!
I'm so sorry.
It was a crazy morning getting the kids ready.
Oh, don't even worry about it.
I've just been going over some design ideas.
Sounds great.
I'm excited to get working on this room
for my son, Clarence.
Clarence!
What's that?
Jimmy Stewart.
Please, Clarence, take me back.
I wanna go back!
I'm not sure...
It's a Wonderful Life!
The movie!
Oh.
I'm sorry, I haven't seen it.
Really?
Oh.
Hello, Bedford Falls!
Okay.
Come on.
You've seen it.
I don't think so.
That part where they're at the dance
and they're all dancing
and then the floor opens up to a pool underneath
and they don't know it until they fall in
and then everyone jumps in?
Sounds fun.
I should see it sometime.
And then George and Mary
with the locker room clothes on
and they throw rocks at the old house, remember?
I'm not going to remember a movie I haven't seen.
What do you want, Mary?
What do you want?
Do you want the moon?
You just say the word
and I'll throw a lasso up and pull it down for ya.
Sorry.
Why, this old thing?
I only wear it when I don't care how I look.
Yeah, no matter how many times you quote it,
it's not going to make me have seen it.
But if we could get back to the house...
Did you have a childhood?
What?
Just at some point in your life, were you a child?
I had a childhood.
And did you celebrate Christmas?
It's cool if you didn't, but did you?
I celebrated Christmas.
Then you've seen it!
Maybe!
Maybe I saw it at some point a really long time ago,
but I don't remember it at all.
My mouth's bleeding, Bert!
My mouth's bleeding!
You're quoting the movie again.
Zuzu's petals--
It's just-- it's one of the great classics.
Not just of Christmas, but of all time.
You're right.
I need to see it for sure.
Starts out,
'cause he's having a hard time and he's such a great guy,
so the angels in heaven are talking about how to help him
and of course it's Clarence's turn.
Clarence, who you named your son after.
Nope.
So they have to tell Clarence his story,
a.k.a. tell the audience his story.
Great storytelling technique.
You know, we don't have to go over the entire--
So he's about 12 years old
and his brother falls through the ice.
I know you didn't mean it, Mr. Bower,
but you put something bad in those capsules!
It's poison, I tell you!
Poison!
[sobs]
Is this the ear you can't hear on?
What?
George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die.
♪♪
He's there picking out luggage.
He wants to travel the world, right?
I want a big one!
[singing rhythmically]
Whoa!
'Cause the pool?
Oh, man, and that's the dance that they're doing.
Don't look now, but that's got all the signs
of being a run on the bank.
Uh-oh, stay here, Mary.
No, please, George, let's just go!
And he never gets to travel.
No!
Well where's the money, you old fool?
Someone's going to jail and it's not going to be me!
You're worth more dead than alive.
Mr. Potter.
Good old Clarence, simple but wise.
You've been given a great gift, George,
to see what the world would be like without you.
I want to live again.
Stay back there, Bert, or I'll hit you again!
My mouth's bleeding!
My mouth's bleeding, Bert!
[singing] We'll have a cup of kindness yet
for Auld Lang Syne!
The end.
[music ends]
Now I truly have seen it.
It's a marvelous movie about generosity and gratitude--
No, it's about Christmas.
I guess you haven't seen it.
So here are my ideas for the floors.
