" That's just a bad rumor." " What's going on?" "Debt, layoffs, greed." "Sounds like good television, right?" "Sounds like bad television." "What happened?" "I thought we had enough to get through the first quarter." "Out-of-state business is good." "Internet sales are up." " Doesn't make much sense." " Well, what is it then?" "Well, everybody's got their hand out, especially this time of year." " Oh, come on." " No, I'm serious." "They can't expect me to take care of this town's problems." "I'm in business to make money." "And your people are in business to work for you, work hard, earn money pay their mortgages, feed their families." " You have your own bread plate." " I know." "Feed the hungry, house the poor." "Isn't that the government's job?" "That's not the government's job." "That's your job and my job." "Have compassion on those less fortunate than you." "The Bible says, "Help the poor and the less fortunate" not "pay the government to do it for you."" "Now you're calling me Scrooge." "Good time of year for that." "Thank you." "Well, if the Santa hat fits." "You're such a hard-case." " "A hard-case"?" " Yeah." "You're a hard-case." " Wow, how am I a hard-case?" " Well, for starters, you're materialistic." "Well, I don't drive an old pickup with a gun rack, so maybe so." "You're a workaholic." "Those who want things have to work for those things." " You work harder than your employees?" " Not fair." " You don't have any friends." " I have you." " Not after you didn't show up last night." " Oh!" "Ouch." "I don't have time to socialize." " I'm trying to run a business here." " We've circled back to workaholic." "I'll tell you what I do have." "I have enemies now." "That should count for something." "But are you charitable?" "Because that's important." "That is important." "Great question." "Let's think about that." "Am I charitable?" "Hmm." "My company puts on a huge picnic every summer." "I go to church, put money in the offering." "I help you on occasion." "On occasion." "Oh!" " The Christmas pageant." " Yes." "That Christmas pageant that doesn't help me in the least." "Everybody else in this town makes tons of money, not me." "My company loses money." "I thought your grandfather's trust helps with it." "That may have been true by the standards he lived." "Nowadays, it wouldn't even cover liability insurance." "Things are a lot more complex now." "The only thing that stayed the same are his conditions." "The company has to put it on every single year." "Gratis." "I can't sell it unless I sell the business." "I'm not selling the business." "The company has to put it on every year?" "I thought you loved the pageant." "I just don't see the benefit anymore." "Oh, well for you or everyone else?" "I don't know." "All I do know is it's gonna take a miracle to put that thing on this year." "Last time I checked, I can't afford one." "So, what you're saying, Mr. Peyton, is that your company can no longer..." " ...afford to put on the Christmas--?" " Ahem." " Holiday pageant?" " That's correct." "It's been your responsibility since 1990 when your grandfather died, is that right?" "He started this for the financial well-being of this community." "No, he started it as a gift to this community to celebrate the birth of Jesus, Christmas." "It was never intended to generate profit for this town or for any other and certainly not for itself." "And that's why I'm here tonight to tell this community that, as of last Wednesday the doors to Peyton Automotive were temporarily closed." "While this has put such a strain on my business I cannot continue this tradition." "[CHATTERING]" " I don't think we can accept that." " Excuse me?" "I have a contract here signed by your grandfather to bring a Christmas pageant to Peyton Park every year." "This is a legal document." "You think you can just come in here last minute and say:" ""I'm not keeping up the tradition just because"?" " There's no money left in the trust." " Where did it disappear to?" "It paid for the pageant every year." "Did you borrow against it to keep your business going?" "You buy a new house?" "What are you trying to say?" "You may have had the funds to keep this going, and they've been misappropriated." "And we are all being duped." "[CHATTERING]" " I wasn't aware this was a witch hunt." " I wasn't aware you had so much to hide." "I have nothing to hide." "I am here of my own will." "Just answer my question." " I can't." " Can't answer my question?" "No, I can't sell the pageant." "I can't sell it, and I can't charge admission." " Why is that?" " It's in the company bylaws." "Isn't it because the penalty for selling it was you'd lose your inheritance?" "So if, let's say, your company went under you closed your doors, could you then sell it?" "[♪♪♪]" "Yes." "And you'd still keep your inheritance?" "All other contracts will be null and void." "You'd be a richer man than you are." "You'd be rid of a company that's in financial ruin." "You'd dump a money-draining promise made by your deceased grandfather for a lot of cash that would set you up for several lifetimes." "Except for one thing, Mr. Blackhorn, I'm not gonna just walk away." "I helped my grandfather rebuild this business through some very difficult times." "I worked every job." "I pushed a broom across the production floor seven days a week." "I worked every tool and die and machine, working my way up." "I spent countless hours organizing this Christmas festival year after year." "My grandfather and I poured money into it for you and you, and all of you to enjoy." "And then I watched as it became a spectacle of commerce instead of the celebration of Christmas that my grandfather intended." "Every year, I thought things would be different." "That maybe people would embrace it and somebody would help out." "That never happened." "Even when these funds that you're talking about finally ran out..." " ..." "I personally kept this festival alive." " Oh, please." "Did I ever think about letting my company go?" "Never." "Did I ever wish that I could get rid of this festival?" "Well...." "Can it go on this year?" "I believe that is not possible without the help of this community." "Sir, I stand before you a man of circumstances with issues that I cannot resolve at this point and I am sorry." "I'm not sure, under these weak arguments and this contract we can just let this matter go." "Mayor?" "I see no alternative but to bring forth legal counsel in this matter and to reconvene one week from tonight."

"We don't have a phone, and" "No cell service." "Mom's a doctor." "Nurse." "Almost." "I went to school." "I just didn't quite graduate." "CJ:" "I brought you some rolls." "Kind of crunchy, but I like them." "Yeah, yeah." "Kind of crunchy." "We've been praying for you, and we don't even know your name." "Praying for me." "Oh, that's good." "My name is Matthew Peyton, last time I checked." ""Peyton"?" "Like the Christmas pageant "Peyton"?" "I'm gonna be in it this year." "Mom says I'm the best angel she ever saw." " Ow." "Sorry." "He" "He doesn't get to meet strangers very often." " I see that." " Yeah." "Mr. Johnson's daughter drove us last year and I've never seen anything like it." "Well, except when I sleep." "I dream about it all the time." "I'm on that stage, looking out, seeing the faces of everybody as I, Angel Gabriel, fly over the manger." "I'm talking to Mary, mother of Jesus, bringing her tidings as the choir sings." "And then I fly back out way over the crowd." "The people, they stand, they clap, they cheer." "Some even cry." "They cry, do they?" "I don't remember them having any flying angels I mean, you know, when I saw it." "I said it was just a dream, but that's why I found this." "You saw all this in a dream?" "Yeah." "This year, I'm gonna be the big guy." "Gabriel, okay." "All things are possible to those who believe." "If you believe in your heart and pray long enough, it'll come true." "That's how God answers prayers." "Right, Mom?" "Just like how I found you all beat up, and then I prayed for you to wake up." "Well, that's some faith you have there, CJ." "Well, everything does happen for a reason, Mr. Peyton." "Maybe you're here for a reason." "Hey, wait." "What was the pageant like when you saw it?" "Was there cotton candy, and kids, and thousands of lights..." " Okay, okay, okay, little man." " ...cars, and--?" "Go find Mr. Johnson, see if he can get us some heat in here, huh?" "I promise you Mr. Peyton will be here when you get back." "You must know I know that you know that if your last name's "Peyton" you've got to have some connections." "Hook your boy up."

"No, I'm good." "Thanks." "Matt, what happened?" " Took a little road trip." " What?" " Are you all right?" " Yeah." "I got mugged." "Beaten up." "They burned my car." "I think they said they wanted to teach me a lesson." "Left me for dead." "A little boy found me and took me in." "His mother took care of me until about an hour ago." "Why didn't they call someone?" "They don't have a phone." "Who doesn't have a phone?" "All right." "Come here." "Let me take a look at you." "Have a seat." "It doesn't matter." " I'm fine." " You're not fine." "It's just my ribs." "NANCY:" "Oh, good grief." "We are calling the police and find out who did this to you." "What difference does it make?" "If I press on, it'll make matters worse." " Well, what are you gonna do?" " See if I can get everybody back to work." "Take the heat off this pageant thing." "You think it's the pageant and not the layoffs that have everybody..." " ...so upside down?" " There's more at stake with the pageant." "Why don't you just sell it then?" " You know, this is crazy." " I can't." " What do you mean, you can't?" " I can't, because" "Because?" "[♪♪♪]" "That's not true, is it?" " What?" " What people are saying?" "That this is tied to your inheritance?" " No." " And that's why you don't wanna sell it?" "You don't understand." "It's more complicated than that." "No, I don't understand." "Why don't you explain it to me?" "Since when do I have to explain myself to you?" "Wow." "You don't." "Wow." "I had no idea how self-centered you were until right now." "Come on, that is not fair." "Why am I the bad guy in all this?" "Because I work hard?" "Because I wanted to make something out of myself?" "And now what?" "I have to give it all away?" " Is that what this town wants?" " Who says life is fair?" "You know what, you're fine." "You'll live." " I'm glad to know you're safe." " Listen, Nancy." "I'm glad you're safe." "I'm not Scrooge." "Ow." "[♪♪♪]" "[KNOCK ON DOOR]" "What are you two doing here?" "Hey." "Matthew, I was worried about you." " Worried?" "ALBERT:" "Yeah." "We" "We called several times and thought you'd end up here sooner or later." "How about you, Bob?" "Were you worried about me?" "Or were you just hoping I would cough on enough water to choke up some pay raise with all my hidden millions?" "Matt, whatever happened to you, I'm not to blame." "No, you're right, Bob." "You're not to blame." "It's my fault the economy is terrible and my business is failing." "It's my fault that workman's comp and health insurance are at an all-time high." "It's my fault that employee wages keep going up while sales are going down." "It's my fault, Bob, that my workers are guaranteed an eight-hour work day and three 20-minute breaks and a 40-minute lunch and two-weeks' paid vacation and six sick days." "You see, I don't get to clock out at 3:30 every day." "I come in when I'm sick." "I don't get to take a magazine off to the restroom and read for 20 minutes at a time." "I don't get the luxury of taking off in the middle of the afternoon to go coach little league or go see my daughter in a school play." "I don't get six-months paid maternity leave." "You know what?" "I don't have the choice to leave my work behind at the office every night." "Because, at the end of the day, it's my responsibility to make sure those people get those things." "There is a difference between people who sign the check on the front and people who sign the check on the back." "If there isn't anything you two need...." "[♪♪♪]" "[DOOR CLOSES]" "[BELL TOLLING IN DISTANCE]" "Hey." "Heard you left town for a couple of days." "Things always become more clear with a fishing pole in your hand." "[TRAIN HORN BLOWING IN DISTANCE]" " You want some friendly advice?" " Well, I've had the other, so go ahead." "Sell this thing, son." "Let someone else manage it." "Let's get this town back to work and on with their Christmas and be done with it." "All the local businesses, they're gonna lose their shirt if this pageant doesn't go on." "Not to mention all the retailers and suppliers within a couple of hundred miles." "You keep going in this direction, you will get crucified." " I haven't done anything wrong." " Oh, son." "If it were that simple." "Even if you are right you won't survive what they'll throw at you." "Well thanks for the advice, Mr. Mayor." "Good luck, son." "So it seems from your financial statement that last year, you lost money." "The last two years have been in the red." "Well, that's just a result of Mr. Bagley's accounting practice." " Show a little profit, right?" " Yes, well...." "How much did you wanna borrow?" "Um...." "Enough to cover overhead and payroll." " Three hundred thousand?" " That's a lot of money for an unsecured loan, Matt." "After the bailout, loans like this...." "You have a lien on your company from other loans you've made." "Help me a little." "What other assets do you have to secure this?" " A home, property, stocks?" " My home." "I was in your wedding, Bill." "I helped you get this job." "It's not good sense, financially, for us." "Especially after everything that's happened these last few days." "I am sorry, Matthew." "I really am." "[♪♪♪]" "MAN [OVER TV]:" "Cold, cold, cold." "That front we've been tracking all week is about to hit us hard." "And I mean hard." "The arctic blast is gonna move through our area  driving temperatures down to the single digits." "The wind chill, the wind chill is gonna be minus 20." "Now that" " That's cold." "So cold, there's a health advisory out, and you're gonna wanna stay inside." "We should have some relief come mid-week, but in the next few days if you're not a polar bear  do that last-minute Christmas shopping online." "Seriously, it's gonna be cold." "Get some blankets, folks." "You'll need them." "Dave and Jessica, back to you." "[♪♪♪]" "Excuse me, I'm looking for a boy, CJ." "Clarence and his mother." "She's right over there." "Oh, I could really use one of these." " Are you here from the church?" " No, ma'am." "Yes, take some." " And no, I'm not here from the church." " Thank you." "MAN:" "Oh, can I have one of those?" "Thank you." "Hey." "Hey." "Well, you sure do look a lot better than the last time I saw you." "Well, I wish I could say the same." "How are you?" "I've been better." "I'll be fine though." " Hey, before, when I said" " Hey." "You came back." "Here." "[COUGHING]" " Mr. Peyton." " Hey, CJ." "So did you get me a part in the pageant?" "[LAUGHS]" "You know what?" "It is freezing in here." " Yeah." " Is the heat on?" "Only in summer." "SHARON:" "Mr. Johnson's not so good about getting it fixed." "I think you need to see a doctor." "I'll be right back." "Okay?" "You watch over your mother." "I do." "[♪♪♪]" " Ho!" "Oh." " Oh." " I'm here." " You came." " Yeah." "I came." " Good." "I need your help." "MAN 1:" "Can I have one of those blankets?" "MAN 2:" "I'll take one." "Thanks, miss." "CJ:" "Mr. Johnson said the heat was up." "He thinks the mayor shut the gas off." "Great." "CJ, this is Dr. Wells." "She's here to help your mom." "That's great, but I gotta go." "Excuse me." "Mom, there's a doctor here to see you." "Oh, baby, I" " I'll take one." " Hi." "God bless you." "NANCY:" "Oh, I had no idea." " Thank you." " Appreciate it." "Thank you very much." "Hi, I'm Dr. Nancy Wells." "I'm a friend of Matthew's." "He says you're not feeling too well." "[COUGHING]" "I'm fine." "Really, I'm" " I'm" "It's okay, Mom." "I think she's free." "Oh, boy, you are burning up." "[COUGHING]" "And that cough doesn't sound too good either." "CJ, I need your help." "Got any cold water around here?" " That's all we got." " Okay." "I want you to put some cold water on that rag to help your mama." "All right?" " Thank you, baby." " All right." "Matthew, she can't be here." "None of these people should be here They're probably all sick." "MATTHEW:" "Is there a shelter close by?" "The closest shelter's over an hour away but it's not nearly big enough to handle this situation." "How about my factory?" "We have bathrooms." "There's heat." "I'm sure we can find some cots." "That's a great idea." "How do we get everybody there?" "I'll take CJ and his mom." "We'll have Charlie circle back for the others." "Okay." "I'll hang back here and check these folks." " Okay." " Okay." "Thanks." " Sharon." " Hey, I" "Everything's gonna be just fine." "You took care of me." "Now it's my turn to take care of you." "[♪♪♪]" " Wow, Nick, that was quick." " Yeah." "Slow night." "Where did all these people come from?" "Oh, these are just a few of my friends." "Popular guy." "Anything else you need, you know where to find me." "Thank you." "Mr. P, where would you like me to set up all them tables?" " Put them in the break room." " Oh, uh...." "It's all full up." " Break room is filled up?" " All full up with folks." "I think we need more cots." " How many do we have?" " Thirty or so." " And we need more?" " They just keep coming in." "MATTHEW:" "How are they getting here?" "I saw about 10 getting out of a big old station wagon." "It barely got up the street." "All right." "Let's set up an area by Fabrication." "Well, no one's working in there anymore, I'll set up those tables in Shipping too." " Do you have any more blankets?" " Is there a toilet?" "I got some blankets." "Follow me." " Yes." " What about toilets?" "Bathrooms are that way." "Mr. Peyton, can I help?" "This is fun." "I wanna help." "Yeah." "Why don't you fly around the room and let everyone know there's food here?" "Got it." "Oh, Mr. Peyton, Dr. Miss Nancy Wells is sitting with my mom." "I think she's asleep." "I mean my mom." "Not Dr. Miss Nancy Wells." "I'm gonna go." "There's food here." "Hurry up and get some food." "It's ready for you to eat." "Get some food, people." "There's some food here." "I finally got Sharon settled in for the night." " Good." " There's some food here." "NANCY:" "Wow." " How do you feel about that?" "He should sleep well too." "This place is just awesome, isn't it?" "And there's food." "MATTHEW:" "Makes me tired just watching him." "All right." "So, what's your plan?" "What do you mean?" "What do you hope to accomplish?" "I just wanted to help these people." "They helped me." "But do you know what that means?" "You know, feed a hungry man, he's hungry tomorrow." "Teach him to fish, he'll never be hungry again." "You want me to teach these people how to fish?" "No, I just want you to realize tomorrow, they'll still be homeless and hungry no matter what you do tonight." "Yeah." "Just wanted to get them out of the cold, feed them." "That's a good thing." "I'm just asking if you know, you thought about tomorrow." "That's the hard part, you know?" "They'll always want more." "[♪♪♪]" "[COUGHING]" "[SOFTLY] Ow." "You okay?" " Well, it's tomorrow." " No, it's today." "A new day." "Semantics." "I spent the entire night thinking about what you said." "And?" "And" "And I am no closer to an answer than I was at 3:30 this morning." "[SIGHS]" "Well, what are your thoughts?" "What are my thoughts?" "Well, my thoughts are, I really want to help these people." "Okay." "I just don't know what to do about those two." "Well, that's a good start." "So today, you'll help these people." "And then it'll get harder." "And you'll have to figure out what to do next." "That's it?" "That's your advice?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "You're always good for that little silver-lining zing." " I appreciate that." "Heh." " One day at a time." "Mr. Peyton." "Dr. Miss Nancy." "Guess what today is." " A new day?" " A great day." " Has he been to bed yet?" " I don't think so." "This place is great." "You work here, right?" "I own this place." "There are so many cool machines all around." "Do you run them by yourself?" "I know how to run them all, but no." "I have some men and women who do that for me." "Is it their day off?" "Um...." "They are on strike, so they will not be coming in today." "Then who's gonna run all these machines?" "No one, I guess." "Then you're not gonna have anything to sell." "Hey, how about I show you how to run one of the machines later?" " Really?" " Sure." "That would be awesome." "I have to practice my Gabriel for the pageant first." "Then I'll be back." "I think you have a new friend." "My new friend thinks if he believes hard enough, he's going to be in the pageant." "I wish I had that kind of faith." "Don't you?" "Mr. Peyton." "Dr. Miss Nancy Wells." "My mom." "She's awake." "I think you fixed her." " Hello." " Hi." " How are you feeling?" " Oh...." "[COUGHS]" " Better." "Much better." " Aww." "You slept pretty hard through the night." "[IMITATES SNORING]" "You should get something to eat." "I had five donuts this morning." "And guess what." "They weren't crunchy." "Well, how about we start her off on some toast?" "Yeah." "Great." "I'll go hunt down Nick." "Mom, there are all these cool tools and machines." "Mr. Peyton said he'll teach me how to run all of them." "One." "I said one." " One." " Right, one." "I love it here." "How long can we stay?" "Oh, honey, we shouldn't." "This is a working factory." "But they went on strike." "So he might lose his business and be poor just like us." "Isn't that great?" "[♪♪♪]" "How do I ever thank you?" "No need." "You've done so much for so many people here." "Hey, look, can I take CJ with me for a while?" " I could really use his help today." " He could use my help." "Oh, Ma." "Can I go?" "Please, can I go?" "Please?" "He could use my help." "You sure he's not gonna be too much of a bother?" "No trouble at all." " You wanna go?" " Yes." " Okay." "Go." " Yes." "He said he could use my help." "I'm no trouble at all." "Oh, wait, Mom." "I should probably go use the "facilities" before we go." "Oh, wait, Mom." "Mom, you should see, everything works." "I mean, towels, toilet paper, hot water." "Ah." "This place is like paradise." "Mr. Peyton, you're the best." " I'm the best." " You are the best." " You heard him." " Maybe no more donuts." "All done." "I sure do like that machine that blows out hot air." "I can see that." " Hop in." " Whoo-hoo!" "Just got off the phone with Mayor Harris." "He does not want this to become a political quagmire." "Uh" " Hold on." "I got another call." "Yeah." "What?" "This just keeps getting better and better." "[♪♪♪]" "Do you think it's ever gonna snow?" "Well, it sure has been cold enough." "Hope so." "So, Mr. Peyton is Dr. Miss Nancy your girlfriend?" "Dr. Miss Nancy has been my best friend for a very long time." "I guess my mom has been my best friend." "There aren't a lot of kids around where we live." "What do you do for fun, CJ?" "I go out searching for stuff." "I don't steal anything though." "I'm sure you don't." "Mom says you can go to jail." "I don't wanna go to jail." "Me neither." "She used to work for a guy who she said was stealing from people." "He didn't go to jail." "He fired her." "Was your mother his nurse?" "No, she was a counter." "A counter?" "Yeah." "You know?" " She counted books." " Ah, an accountant." "Yeah." "I guess so." " He was a counter too." " Got it." "Me and my mom walked to town last year." "It took a long time." "I'd just pretend I was skating." "I would just slide on my shoes and believe I was skating." "Sometimes, you just have to pretend." "Is that--?" "Is that Peyton Park?" "Can we stop?"

"MAYOR:" "What's going on here?" "These boys interrupt my lunch and say there's some crisis at your place." "No crisis." "He's violating every civil code we have." " What are you trying to pull?" " Knock it off." "We're not gonna get anywhere with you two locking heads." "Why don't we just go inside and have a look around?" "Now that's a good idea." "Fine." "These folks needed a place to stay warm last night." "So I gave it to them." "You can't just gather people when it's cold and put them in a room." "Why not?" "Does the city turn its back on someone when they can't afford warmth?" "Well, we have laws." "Heck, you probably put half these people out of work." "You got room for the rest of the town in here?" "Because I sure don't see a forecast for any sunny days coming soon." "Especially for you." "Matthew, I'm afraid my hands are tied." "I understand what you're trying to do, son but the law just won't allow this to go on." "City ordinance prohibits use of the factory for anything other than manufacturing." "Only way you can keep them here round the clock is by putting them back to work." "Now, I suggest you get your affairs in order." "You have 12 hours to comply or the city will be more than happy to see you in jail." "[♪♪♪]" "What about you, Albert?" "Drumming up some city contracts?" "I'm here to try to talk some sense into you to see if you'll sell this whole thing." "Talk to the Tomatsu folks." "Their offer still stands, company and all." "You talked to them." "They called you." "They know your position, and they're anxious to make a deal." "I think you know where I stand." "And the next time they call you, please give them my number." "NANCY:" "What the heck is going on?" "You heard the man." "Either I go to jail, or these people have to go away." "To tell you the truth, jail is looking pretty good right about now." "Wouldn't have people pulling me a hundred directions." "I wouldn't have to tell these people to leave." "Well, what did Albert have to say?" "Is he part of the lynch mob now?" "He is pushing really hard for me to sell this thing." "You know, he was here when you were gone." "What?" "Why?" "He said he was looking for you but I think he was looking for something else." "Did he leave with anything?" "No, I think I startled him." "MATTHEW:" "It doesn't make any sense." "I have no cash there, and the only thing I have is a set of books." "It's in the safe, but he has his own set." "Would there be anything different in your set?" "No, shouldn't be." "He does them both." "Well, maybe you should have a look." "Just doesn't make sense." "[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]" "I guess it's time to tell these folks they have to go back to where they came from." "They'll go back to the way things were two days ago." " This one." " Okay." "All right." "MATTHEW:" "I'm not their savior, Nancy." "I know." "You still did a good thing." "Can't change things overnight." "[♪♪♪]" "What do I do about Sharon and CJ?" "No." "NANCY:" "That you're gonna have to handle on a more personal level." "Right." " Okay." " All right." "Can I have everyone's attention, please?" "Looks like we're gonna have to take you all back to where you came from." "[CHATTERING]" "The city will not allow you to stay here anymore." "MAN:" "What do you mean?" "It's gonna be colder tonight, and my wife's not well." "Oh, please, don't throw us out." "We need a place to stay." "I don't have the proper facilities, and there's a city ordinance." "But you said we could stay a few days." "I'm sure the city will help you find something." " The city ain't gonna help us." " Look..." "[SIGHS] ...I'm very sorry." "My hands are tied on this one." "They, uh" "They're threatening to throw me in jail." "If there were anything I could do at all, I would." "If we work, then can we stay?" " What?" "CJ:" "I heard them say you could keep the doors open if they came back to work." "[SIGHS]" "CJ, they're not gonna come back to work." "What if we worked for you?" "Some of us already know this equipment." "I mean, I used to work at Flandry's before it shut down." "And you said you knew how to run all the machines." "You could teach us."

"Mr. Blackhorn, this is going to be a civil inquiry." "You are not Perry Mason." "ALL:" "Ha-ha-ha." "BLACKHORN:" "Sorry, mayor." "Just want the folks here to know that things are not status quo at Peyton Automotive." "Seems Mr. Peyton has no intention of getting his business up and running or putting on the pageant this year." "In fact, today, the mayor and I had to shut down his latest slap in the face to this community." "While so many of our friends and families have been put out of work from this nonexistent holiday pageant Mr. Peyton has turned his warehouse into a bed-and-breakfast."

"And by the way, I won't be driving myself home alone tonight." "This is outrageous." "What do you mean, you're open for business?" "We were there only a few hours ago, and you had over a hundred people" " Are you telling me--?" " I'm telling you and everyone else here that while you slept in your nice, warm bed Peyton Automotive housed and fed over 115 people who needed food and warmth and had no place to get that." "Now trust me, I know we're going through some very difficult times right now but believe me, there are folks out there who have it much worse." "The mayor and Mr. Blackhorn did come down to my business and told me I had to send those folks back where they came from." "But I refused." "So now, they're employees of Peyton Automotive."

"Now you're gonna ask these workers to cross their own picket line to get their jobs back?" "It's not gonna happen." "I'm sure these people don't appreciate you calling them names, Mr. Alexander." "But I'd like them to make up their own minds as to what's best for their families and this community and not get bullied into something that might affect them for a very long time." " We're done here." " What about the pageant, Mr. Peyton?" "We are far from finished here." "We need answers." "MAYOR:" "Mr. Blackhorn, please sit down." "This meeting is adjourned." "MAN:" "We have no idea if we gotta talk to the union...." "You need to fix this now." ""We're done here"?" "Matt, where did you get that moxie?" "I think a boy named Clarence has my back." "Oh, well, you might need an army of him to keep this town" "I'm out of work." "Can you give me a job?" "What time do I need to be back in the morning?" "I'd like to have my job back." "If there's anything I can do to help out, the pageant means a lot to this town." " Thank you." " Or maybe one of him is enough." "[♪♪♪]" "You two promised you'd have this wrapped up by Monday." "Now the whole town is going back to work for Peyton." "How is that even possible?" "Relax." "They'll all be standing in a picket line by morning." "Where's he getting money?" "You said you took care of that." "Yeah, I did." "He might have access to a few personal accounts but he can't sustain long term payroll." "You'd better have the deed for all this by Monday, or so help me" "Don't you threaten me, Blackhorn." "All right?" "Let us do our job and you go on out there, and you keep stirring the old pot." "Then we don't have to worry about Peyton." "Just get it done." "[♪♪♪]" "[BANGING AND KNOCKING]" "[CROWD CLAMORING]" " What's going on?" " I wouldn't expect a turnout today." "Bob Alexander's got this whole place blocked with pickets." " What are you doing here?" " Well, I can't stay either." "I just wanted you to know, and that I understand what you're doing but I can't take the risk." "None of us can." "They own most of our homes." "I'm sorry." "Oh, and Mr. Peyton there's a lot of us here that think what you're doing you know, helping these folks is a good thing." "[PICKETERS CLAMORING]" "We just wish we could help."

"I see the future of all the people who worked for me." "I see all the people you're helping, right now." "Have you told little Gabriel yet?" "He still believes." "What do you believe, Matthew Peyton?" "[♪♪♪]" "[SIGHS]" "You're a righteous man." "You making fun of me now?" "You know the definition of the word "righteous"?" "It means right action no matter the consequences." "You're a righteous man." "No, I'm not." "My grandfather, that was a righteous man." "Not me." "I'm just selfish and weak." "And I think I proved that with an inheritance that I never deserved in the first place." " Now, how is that?" " Hmm." "Well, contrary to what people have said it never had anything to do with money." "When my parents were killed, my grandfather took it really hard but he picked himself up, and he raised me and he grew this business and he showed an entire town that hope is never lost." "He buried his only son in September and then lit the festival lights again in December." "That was his gift for this whole town." "For all of his successes and blessings, he had hope." "But this inheritance...." "My grandfather would say:" ""Life is work and work is good." "God's work."" "[CHUCKLING]" "Before nightly prayers, he'd always tell me a story about a farmer and his sons." "A farmer was on his deathbed and gathered his sons around to discuss the inheritance." ""I would have you know that in my vineyard, there is a hidden treasure." "Dig." "Dig, and you will find it."" "Shortly after his passing, the sons took all the garden tools and turned the soil of the vineyard over and over and never found the treasure." "Never." "However, the vines, after so much digging produced a crop such has never before been seen." "So, you see the treasure is in the toil." "And that's what my grandfather left for me." "His work, unfinished." "This business, this Christmas pageant...." "To share in what he would say is the faith, hope and love that he had been so graciously given from above." "So, the bottom line is Peyton Automotive owns the Peyton Pageant and never the two shall part." "And that, Nancy, is my inheritance." "That's all." "Why didn't you say something to the council?" "You really think it would've mattered?" "I don't." "I think their minds were made up." "And honestly, I have made a mess of both." "I have lived and worked my entire life for myself and not for others around me." "And I really wish that it would've worked out the way my grandfather intended." "[SIGHS]" "But I don't believe that's possible anymore." "Thank you for everything." "♪ It's gonna be a heartbreak ♪♪" " Hey, Matt, I wanted to drop this by." " What is it?" "Well, it's several of the overdue loans for the business." "They" " Well, they want their money." "And they've put a lien on the property." "They're gonna foreclose." "MATTHEW:" "Just keeps getting better." "What does this all mean?" "I've been telling you for months that we're in trouble and you know, math is not your strong suit." "Listen, the" "The Chevy plant just canceled their order." "They weren't excited when they found out you had scabs building parts for the vehicles." "So everything that you're doing here, it's meaningless." "How did they know about this if it weren't for one of you?" "We're in a small town, Matt." "Everybody knows everything." " So that's it?" " No, it's not it." "If you sign this document..." " ..." "Tomatsu will take care of your debt." " Get out." " Come on, man." " Get out." "Now." "Oh, hey, if you change your mind, let me know, Matt." "Okay?" "MATTHEW:" "So, wait." "Albert was your boss?" "I worked for him when Clarence was very young and he had me doing some things I didn't think were right." "He was stealing, and when I confronted him about it, he fired me." "Well, he couldn't pull this off by himself." "Bob may be in on it, but there's gotta be someone else." "Someone on the outside that's pulling strings." "Somebody with more clout." "Did you find anything that looks like the books may be cooked?" "Ah." "Some minor discrepancies on invoices, but nothing substantial." "I'm gonna head over to Mayfair, see if I can get this Chevy contract back." "I'll take CJ with me." "Good luck." "[IN UNISON] On both." "[♪♪♪]" "Hey, CJ, wonder if we'll get some snow tonight." "Okay, and while I pump, why don't you run in and grab us a couple of drinks for the road?" "WOMAN 1:" "I cannot believe it." "WOMAN 2:" "I can't believe it either." "WOMAN 1:" "I heard he was stealing from his own business." "That's why there won't be a Christmas pageant." "My husband said he didn't care what happens to the town." "He's turned his business into some cheap hotel." " He'll probably screw all those people too." " Oh, Lord." "Speak of the devil." "WOMAN 1:" "I can't believe he's showing his face around here." "WOMAN 2:" "The sight of him makes my stomach turn." "Maybe we can go skating tomorrow?" "Huh?" "You said you like to skate." "Maybe get you some of those new titanium skates." "Guaranteed to keep you floating across the ice." "What do you say?" "You like music?" "♪ It's not so bad when winter brings You and Christmas closer to me ♪♪" "[LINE RINGING]" "You said you were gonna meet me down here today." "What pressure?" "From who?" "I don't understand." "Why can't I just have five minutes of your time?" "Stop." "Listen." "My family has been doing business with you for over 50 years." "No, you don't understand." "Kevin, I need this today." "[♪♪♪]" "Hello?" "Why didn't you tell me?" " What?" " There wasn't gonna be a pageant." "No decorations, no manger, no tree lighting?" "No Christmas celebration?" " You tricked me." " No." "You didn't say anything." "Kept it all a secret." " Look, CJ, I never meant to hurt" " Don't call me "CJ" anymore." " You're not my friend." " I am your friend." "I didn't tell you because I didn't wanna hurt you." "I thought there'd be some miracle and we wouldn't be having this conversation." "You have to believe." " I believe." " That's just nonsense." "Okay?" "You can't just say the words, "I believe," and think it'll be okay." "I didn't wanna tell you, but life isn't like that." "The world is not like that." "All things aren't possible." "I am losing my business." "They're taking it all away." "There are no more miracles, son." "Nothing." "I am sorry, Clarence." "There's no Christmas pageant." "There's no Peyton Automotive." "It's over." "[♪♪♪]" "You said you believed once." "When you were little." "I used to believe every year that my parents would be around for Christmas." " Believing in that didn't change things." " Is that why you don't want it anymore?" "I don't want it anymore because it still hurts." "Okay?" "And nobody cares." "I care." "I love you." "[♪♪♪]" "Chevy just called." "They wanna meet you at 8:30." " What?" " Here's the address." "Yeah." "MATTHEW: "Love to catch up?" That does not make any sense." " Unless...." " Unless what?" "Give me your keys." " What?" " I need to borrow your truck." "Uh...." " Okay." " Thank you." "Day four coming up." "Hope these people have learned to fish." "They're gonna need a big net." "There's one mistake I can try and fix." "Give these to Charlie." "He'll know what to do." "NANCY:" "I never really thought you were Scrooge." "[♪♪♪]" "Aw, he finally ran out of steam." "Last few days caught up with him." "He is out." "Fair enough." "So is Matthew gone?" "He went back to see if he could resuscitate the Chevy contract one more time." " Oh, that's great." " Yeah." " I pray everything works out for him." " I do too." "You two seem close." "He's a special man." "Oh." "We're like brother and sister." "Oh." "He's very fond of you and your boy." "Clarence is very fond of him too." "Yeah." "It's not his fault, you know?" "The pageant and everything." "He told me how excited CJ is." "I think it's shaken him a bit." "Oh, Clarence still believes it'll happen." "He does." "He believes that God will find a way to help Matthew." "That's incredible strength of faith for a young man." "I just hope that same strength helps him accept things if they don't happen the way that he wants." "But I believe it too." "I do." "I believe." "Matthew has done something that no one has done in a very long time." "He's given all of these people hope." "They have hope that they still matter to society and it's renewed their faith that prayers really are answered." "And yeah, you're right." "They're not always answered in the way that you want, but, boy they're always answered." "I hope your faith is enough." "I do." "It's gotta be." "When you don't have anything in life faith becomes your most valued possession." "[CJ SNORING]" "Mind if I take him downstairs, put him to bed for you?" " No, go right ahead." " Thank you."

"Stop being so dramatic." "You know, your problem is you don't know the value of a decimal point." "It's like your nose." "Just ends up in the wrong places at the wrong time." " What happened?"

"How do you know about the Chevy contracts?" "Huh." "Turns out they weren't canceled, Mr. Blackhorn." "They were reinstated." "You see, it didn't ring a bell at first." "Then I was reminded how much property in this town that you own." "They own most of our homes." "Yes." "I own a lot of property in this town." "You ever hear of a company called BLK Properties?" "Turns out BLK Properties actually owns the building for TRB Parts." "Let me remind you, Peyton, I represent the city here." " You're the one who's gonna be on trial." " Maybe not."
