A boyfriend is one thing,
but engaged is a completely different story.
- I made a mistake.
- You think?
When I agreed to come here
with you,
this whole thing is
way too insane.
Well, now it is.
I mean, engaged?
You probably don't believe
in global warming,
okay? I could never marry you.
I'm sorry, but, please.
Why? 'Cause I'm not
already married?
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
You know what? I've wasted enough time.
Merry Christmas.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
Hi, honey. Congratulations.
Where's Joe?
Mom, please, just don't
make that face.
I swear to God, if I look up and you're
making that face I'm gonna lose it.
But I'm... I'm not making a face.
Actually, Charlotte,
you are.
Sam this is
my everyday face.
- You're going like this.
- No, I'm...
I am not.
Okay, I'll be a Sphinx, right?
See? Hi, honey.
Oh, God, there it is!
- What?
- Now, Buttons, calm down.
Calm down?
Really, Dad, calm down?
Nothing makes people less calm
than being told to calm down.
And now
you're making that face.
Dad, you're just
as bad as Mom.
Honey. Honey-bunny.
Oh, God, please,
stop mothering me.
But I am your mother
and I feel for you.
No, you feel sorry for me.
And you make me feel that I'm a person
that people should feel sorry for.
- That...
- But you know, hey,
it wouldn't be Christmas
without Eleanor
coming home
to disappoint everyone.
You're not a disappointment.
Right, okay.
Well, let me just give you
your Christmas present early.
Mom, Dad, Joe is actually...
...a smoker.
He is a chain-smoker.
That's right.
Just can't seem to quit.
- It's tough.
- Oh, well...
You know what,
this calls for a toast.
- Yeah.
- Bubbly, bubbly.
- I'm an alcoholic.
- Wow.
- I'm just kidding.
- Yeah.
Quite a kidder.
Yeah, just can't help it.
We're here.
- Oh, Mom?
- Yeah, what?
Just don't mention anything
about the engagement, okay?
'Cause we haven't told
Joe's parents yet.
That's fine, that's good.
Charlie, what happened
to your face?
Oh, my God.
Everyone, um, this is Joe.
And, yes... And Joe and your
Aunt Eleanor are engaged.
What? Oh, my God.
It just slipped out, I don't know.
I'm sorry.
