[성탄 특집:영화 대본] ‘12 Toys of Christmas(성탄절 장난감 열 두 개, 2025)’ 결말 부분 * 련애 희극

[BRUCE]

Just a little something to

bring in the Christmas cheer.

- Sorry, I don't have any hot

cocoa to offer you in return.

- Oh, don't worry.

I have plenty at my desk.

- I was kidding.

- Yeah, right.

Me too.

- So what are your holiday plans?

- Same as always.

Go to my mom's, get into my PJs,

turn on all the Christmas movies,

and turn off my phone until the new year.

What about you?

- I'll be going to London.

I'll visit our offices there

and then tuck myself into

a hotel for the duration.

Got a lot to get through.

- You're working?

I just got word that the old toy designer

for Laszlo Horvath's next Bobita film

backed out of their contract.

There is an opportunity to

just scoop up the rights,

but if you're too busy

making merry to help-

- I can do it.

Really?

I used to love Laszlo Horvath's movies.

You see my grandmother,

she's from Hungary,

so she'd just completely

wear out those old tapes.

I even slept with a Bobita

stuffy until I was...

Until I was a totally normal age

to give up stuffed animals.

- So you'd be in it for the nostalgia,

not angling to be the new

head of product development?

- Well, a promotion wouldn't hurt.

This is a huge account, Olivia.

- But?

- Sitting here now,

I'm just not sure you're

right for the job yet.

Let me think about it.

- Think about it.

She'll think about it.

I'll give her something to think about.

- Olivia.

- Listen, I'm in a bit of a bind at work.

Do you have those old Bobita toys

that Nagymama and Nagypapa

used to bring me from Hungary?

I, I don't think so, but-

- Okay.

That's okay.

I guess I'll just ask Nagymama

to bring me some when she

comes in town for Christmas.

- That's what I wanted

to talk to you about.

Your grandmother just called me.

She's, she's pretty sick.

- She is?

- Yeah, and apparently

she can't fly alone.

So she said she was very

happy to stay in Pecs,

but with it being her

first Christmas alone

without your nagypapa.

- Mom, don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

Call you later. Bye.

Hey, Francesca?

Hey, Francesca?

Francesca, is the next Bobita movie

going to be set in Hungary?

- Of course.

- Then what if I went to Hungary?

You know, for inspiration?

Do you think I could do the

pitch to Laszlo Horvath then?

- Oh.

- Hi, are you my driver?

- Hilarius.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend.

- No, this is my name.

This is a traditional

Hungarian name.

- Right. Sorry, I'm jet lagged.

- No problem.

Your mother couldn't

reach your grandmother,

so you are going to be a

surprise for her.

Are you ready? You have everything?

Well, once I get the signal working,

then I'll be all set.

- Okay. Welcome to Hungary.

You will love it here.

The Christmas market, the langos.

Oh, I'll take that one.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Give it to me, yes.

So the Christmas market,

langos, the goulash.

The goulash, the culinary gift-

- Oh.

- Of the Lord himself.

- Thank you.

- It's okay.

Oh.

- Now if you look to your left, this is a,

this is a nature preserve.

It's, it's so beautiful.

Even in the winter, don't

you think?

- So, I'm guessing you

don't have internet out here

or 4G signal?

What? What?

Hungary is the, is the

country of the future.

4G, 5G, central heating,

all the modern conveniences.

I, I own a factory myself

and it's so modern,

we have Thai food.

Can you imagine?

- It's just that,

well, I have no internet connection

and I kind of need it.

I'm trying to pitch a toy

line to Laszlo Horvath and-

- Laszlo Horvath?

The Laszlo Horvath?

- Yeah.

The guy with the little Bobita?

He's a Hungarian icon!

He is our best ambassador.

- Well, I can't pitch the toy

line to him without internet.

See my problem?

- Let me tell you something.

I know a man.

I will drive you there

and we will get you back on

the phone with Laszlo Horvath

in no time at all.

- Oh, wow.

I forgot how gorgeous Pecs is.

I haven't been here since

I was a teenager, you know?

- Why so long?

- When I was a kid, I

always came with my parents

and my siblings, but then,

I don't know, I got busy.

Oh.

- College then work.

Again with work.

There's room in life for more

than just work, don't you think?

For joy, for simplicity.

But if you are not sure about that,

maybe this visiting Pecs,

we'll change your mind later?

- Oh, I'm not staying very long.

I'm just here to pick up my grandmother

and take it back to the

States for Christmas.

That's a night or two, tops.

We will see about that.

So just a moment and I will

show you your phone guy.

He's a genius with this stuff.

Fixes everything at my factory.

- Oh.

- Andras, Andras, where are you?

You are never around when I need you.

- I'm coming, old man.

I'm coming.

- There he is.

So nothing to worry about? See?

- Yeah, I see.

- So what is it now?

Trying to recruit me

for your shadow Christmas

market campaign again?

Don't listen to him.

He knows nothing.

- You are trying to

overthrow Magdalena's rule

as the Christmas market queen.

Don't deny it.

- No, I don't deny

that I'm trying to make more improvements,

but I don't want to talk

about it in front of Olivia.

- Olivia.

Oh, you must be Magdalena's

granddaughter, right?

- That's me.

- Hey.

- Hi.

So does everyone know everyone here?

- Welcome to Pecs.

Anyway, I'm Andras.

- Hi.

Are you two done?

- It's easy if you

follow the instructions.

- If you can read Hungarian.

- Didn't Magdalena make

you learn the language?

- I only saw her when she

came to the US for Christmas.

- See if my phone was working,

I could just run that

through a translation app.

- Another American is glued to her phone.

- I have a good reason.

- That's just what my

daughter says every time

when I catch her playing on her tablet.

Do you play the little game

with the hot Cookie Coco, Olivia?

- I don't have to play it, Andras.

I made it.

- That's what I tried to tell you.

Olivia is going to make toys

for Laszlo Horvath's new film.

- Exactly.

And if you can't help me with my phone,

then tons of little children

just like your daughter might have to go

without their favorite

games and toys next year.

- It might be good for

the children and you?

May I?

- Go ahead.

- It's good to see you in Pecs.

Your grandmother has missed you so much,

especially after last year.

- I would've come sooner, but...

Work, I'm sure?

But don't worry,

we all have been looking

after her, haven't we?

- Yes, yes, yes.

She's practically workshopped

in this town where we are.

Workshopped.

Do you know this word workshopped?

- Worshiped, you mean.

- Oh yeah. Thank you.

- Oh, I'm actually just excited

to get her home for Christmas.

- And here you are.

5G and everything.

- What did I tell you, Olivia?

Oh, popular lady.

- Yeah, that is the sound of millions

of children having very merry Christmases.

Hey, tell you daughter,

I added tons of points to

her Cookie Coco account

as a little thank you

for helping me fix this.

- I appreciate the offer,

but it might be better

to be away from the screens

for a while, don't you think?

- Here we are.

Your grandmother's cottage

and your grandfather's, God rest his soul.

So is everything how you remember?

- Better.

Smaller too.

Well, I was really short growing up,

so everything just seemed huge.

Oh no, I can get my own bags.

- No man in Pecs is going to

let a lady carry her own bag.

- Oh.

- It's unthinkable.

Nicholas would never bring me presents

with that kind of shabby behavior.

Magdalena, you must get down from there.

- Nagymama, what are you doing up there?

You're sick.

- Olivia! My little Olivia!

Just one minute, I will be down.

- I didn't think that she'd look so good.

- Good and crazy, between you and me.

There's no reason why she should be

out and about doing all of this labor.

It's dangerous at her age.

At any really.

- Olivia, my little Olivia.

Oh, what a surprise.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing up a ladder?

- I was trying to add more decorations.

- No, no, no. You need

to take care of yourself.

Why aren't you inside sitting by the fire?

- Because the moment I do,

you will try to take over

the Christmas market.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.

He wants to take over as president,

but hell will freeze over

before I let that happen.

- No, no, no. I only

want to look after you.

This Christmas market presidency

is too much work for your

advanced and regal age.

- Hilarius, if you love the

Christmas market so much,

go there and allow me to see

my granddaughter in peace.

- Absolutely. Certainly.

- Thanks for the ride.

- It's okay.

- Shall we go inside?

- Come inside.

Oh, you have to tell me everything.

Ooh.

- So Mom really didn't call you?

- Oh, maybe she did.

But the message machine,

it's always jammed up.

Before you offer it, no,

I don't want any of that new technology.

No LED, cellphones, 4K nonsense.

Just the beautiful basics.

- Even if I did wanna get you a cellphone,

apparently I'm hopeless with them.

When I arrived, my sim card

wasn't working so Hilarius

had to find some random guy

in town to help me with it.

- A man? Who?

- He was some guy.

- Some guy, that's a very strange name.

- I don't remember his name.

But even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

- And why not?

- Because nosy old grandmothers

like trying to set up their granddaughters

with handsome men.

- Now we're getting somewhere.

He was handsome.

And what else?

Tall?

- Strong.

Oh, he carried a whole Christmas

tree with his bare hands.

- Sounds like my kind of man.

- Nagymama.

- Well, a woman can look, can't she?

- And I think his name,

it was something like-

- Andras!

- And he lives next door.

Great.

- Hey, Magdalena,

how is the prettiest girl

in all of Pecs today?

- Lost my title, I'm afraid.

My granddaughter is in town.

You'll have to come

over later to meet her.

I just baked a fattoush.

- No need, we have already met.

We'll be happy to help you

with the fattoush though?

See you later.

- Bye!

I'm only saying he's handsome.

He's a good father and he

needs a new love in his life.

- We met for like, 30 seconds, Nagymama.

- Many good marriages

have started with less.

I fell in love with your

grandfather at a single glance.

- I miss him.

- Me too.

Me too.

But how lucky we were to have known him.

And how happy to know

that he would love

seeing us here together,

celebrating Christmas again.

And when you're finished,

you can help me make the makos beigli.

You used to love it when you were little.

Oh, let me help you.

No, no. I

have things well in hand.

- But you're sick.

You need someone to look after you.

I mean, you are, aren't you?

Nagymama, I just thought

you were putting on this big show for me,

pretending to feel all better

so that I wouldn't worry.

- I never imagined that

you would come here.

Why not?

- Because you're always so busy.

You have this big life and I didn't-

- So why did mom think that you were sick?

- Because I told her this little fib.

- Well, you have got to untell it.

Everyone was so worried about you.

No, the minute we get home,

you are sitting everyone down

and you are telling them the truth.

- I won't be doing that, Olivia.

I will tell them the

truth, but in my own time.

- Fine, you can just explain everything

on the way to the airport.

Let's just go and get your bags packed.

- I don't need any bags.

- Oh, please.

You always take at least three

full of presents for everyone.

- Because I am not going

to America for Christmas.

I'm staying right here in Pecs.

Muesli cookie?

- What do you mean you're not

coming home for Christmas?

- Just what I said.

Besides, I am home for Christmas.

- But the family, everyone

is waiting for you.

- Your mother has three children.

17 nieces and nephews, two grandchildren,

your silly man of a father

to contend with this Christmas.

She will have her hands full

without me cluttering her kitchen.

Besides, there's so much to do here.

Everyone in town looks

forward to my makos beigli.

I won't disappoint them on that.

And the Christmas market, it

would fall apart without me.

If you think I'm going to

leave Hilarius in charge,

you've got another thing coming.

- Magdalena, I think that might be flour.

- What? No, that...

Ha ha! It is flour.

Oh, look at that.

Well, maybe they won't notice.

Or I can give them to Hilarius

and really make him think

I'm a senile old lady.

Yes!

Now, how long are you going

to stay for Christmas?

- Nagy, I have to go back home.

Mom will miss me and I

have this work thing.

- Americans, you and your-

- Oh, and before you say

you Americans and your work,

you should know that the

toys I'll be pitching

for are for Laszlo Horvath's next movie.

Laszlo used to be good,

but since he went to Hollywood

and he got all of this

modern bells and whistles,

he is not so good anymore.

No one wants to see a

computer generated Bobita.

- Actually, a lot of

people like his CGI Bobita.

He's made a lot of money from it.

- Money, as if money's

the most important thing.

And as for CGI, ha!

Sometimes the old ways are the best.

- Oh, like the old ways of putting flour

instead of powdered sugar on the desserts.

- Fine. Fine, I'll start over.

Even Hilarius doesn't

deserve this.

Now you go call your mother.

I am sure you're dying to.

Just not in the house, you know my rules.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Psst, psst.

Psst, psst.

- Oh, hi there.

- I'm good, America you?

- Yeah, probably better than you.

- Probably.

- I'm Emma.

- I'm Olivia, nice to, um, shout at you.

- Are you trying to use your phone?

- Yeah, my nagymama doesn't

like me using it in the house

and I need to call my mom.

- My dad doesn't need either.

Come on, come up here.

- I'm not really dressed

for climbing trees.

- It's easy and probably your best option.

Magdalena will throw goulash

on you if you break her rules.

- Oh.

Isn't this the most adorable

little Christmas retreat?

- Thanks, Magdalena helped me with it.

- Really?

Wait, she can get up here?

- Oh yeah. Easy.

- Wow, I'm learning so much

about my grandmother this trip.

- I am going to play my game.

You can call your mommy if you want.

Thanks.

- Olivia.

Hey, how's it going?

- Are you in a barn?

- No, your brothers are just

here for Christmas pancakes.

You know how they get.

It's the only time of year 

The whole wide world turns upside down 

There.

Now, when are you and

grandmother getting in?

- That's the thing, Mom.

Nagymama doesn't want to

come home for Christmas.

- What do you mean she

doesn't want to come back?

Is she that sick?

- No. No, she's not sick.

She fibbed.

She's been out here climbing trees

and baking sweets for the whole town

and running an entire Christmas market.

It's the opposite of what I expected.

- I mean, I'm glad she's okay.

But you have to get

her here for Christmas.

- She doesn't want to.

- Olivia, you know she

lost her husband last year.

This is her first Christmas without him.

She shouldn't be alone.

- You're right.

- You need to get her

here, whatever it takes.

This Christmas should be as

distraction free as possible.

- I'll try my best, Mom.

I know you will.

Mom, gotta go. Gotta go.

Here they are, two

little screen addicts.

- I'm not addicted.

I'm connected to the

global marketplace of ideas

via an endless network of

instant information access.

Did you hear about this

on one of your podcasts?

- No, I read about it on Time's website.

They have a kids edition.

I see.

And was it before or

after you got a high score

in the Cookie Coco game?

Well, what do you have

to say for yourselves?

- Please don't blame her.

It's all my fault.

- I believe it, Mrs. I

build addicting games,

can't get away from the phone.

- Okay, first of all, it's Miss.

Okay, Miss I build addicting games.

I mean, Miss Olivia.

And second of all,

I had a very good reason to

be making that phone call.

- What was that? Chatting

up Laszlo Horvath?

- Laszlo Horvath?

- You know Laszlo Horvath?

- Emma, why don't you go to Magdalena?

See if she needs any help in the kitchen.

Put your Cookie Coco skills

to real life use?

- Oh, and make sure she doesn't put flour

on the makos beigli again.

- Does she do that a lot?

'Cause I just caught her

doing it a minute ago.

- Yeah, and I'm starting

to think it's intentional.

She likes to keep us on

our toes, your Magdalena.

- Keeping me on my toes is right.

I came here to take her

back home for Christmas

because she said she was sick.

And now not only is she not sick,

she's not coming back with me.

And my mom is freaking out

and I don't know what to do.

- And this was your phone call?

My mom doesn't want her

to be alone this Christmas.

I don't either.

- Who says she's alone?

- I just, I wish I knew what

was holding her back, you know?

And then I could fix it

and then she would know

that it's okay to come home.

- Well, I think I have an idea about it.

- Really? You do?

Nagypapa's workshop?

- Yep.

I haven't been

here since I was a kid.

- Welcome back.

- Oh, wow.

You came here a lot?

I was something of

your grandfather's assistant.

He was a very good man to look up to.

He helped me through some tough times.

So did Magdalena.

- That's really nice to hear.

- See, I'm not all bad.

Just a screen time Grinch.

- I'm sorry.

What you do with your

phone is your own business.

I was only teasing you, but

when it comes to my daughter,

you know, I just can't understand

how she can love her technology so much

when there is all this waiting for her.

The imagination, the wonder, the artistry.

- Nagypapa was so good at that,

creating magic out of nothing.

- That's right.

Which is why I brought you here.

Your grandmother,

she wants to stay here

in Pecs for Christmas.

And this might explain it.

- These are gorgeous.

But what do they have

to do with my nagymama?

- Every year, your grandfather

created 12 toys to give away,

not just any toys but special ones,

and not just to any

people, but special people.

He'd spend the week before Christmas,

the week before seeing you in America,

giving the toys away to

those who truly deserve them.

His only way of playing Santa Claus.

And I believe that this is

what your nagymama is holding onto.

This one is tradition.

- So all I have to do

is give the toys away,

then nagymama will come

home for Christmas.

- It's a very serious tradition, okay?

It was one of your

grandfather's most honored gifts

to our community.

You can't just give the

toys away to anyone.

They have to be worthy of them.

- Andras, I literally work

with toys for a living, okay?

I give toys away all the time.

Besides, this is what nagymama needs

and what nagypapa would've wanted.

It'll be a piece of cake.

- Have you had any of your grandmother's

poppy seeds cake lately?

- No.

- Then lemme say this.

If this idea of yours is something

like your grandmother's makos beigli,

then it will be much, much

harder than you think.

We'll see about that.

- Olivia, I don't think

it's such a great idea.

- Then why did you tell

me about the 12 toys?

- So you could understand

your grandmother better.

Not so you could try and

hustle her back to America

when she clearly wants to be here.

- She only wants to be here

because this is where her

husband left unfinished business.

No, she's, she's holding on.

I can help her.

- Are you sure it's her that's holding on

and not you being too quick to let go?

- I'm not in this for a lecture, okay?

- Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm not here to lecture, but

Magdalena means a lot to me.

I just wanna make her happy.

- And she will be when I get her home.

So come home 

There's no better place 

Waking up on Christmas Day 

Tinsel wrapped around the tree 

- Olivia, at least let me help you.

- Pardon?

- You don't know Pecs very well, do you?

You don't know the town folks either.

I could be your tour guide.

I can give you discount maybe.

- Okay, pop quiz.

When I was a little girl, my

nagypapa had this big ledger.

It was red and white and

had gold lettering, I think.

He used to keep it in his workshop,

but it wasn't there today.

Where do you think it could be?

- I don't know. Why?

- I think that it might have clues

as to who he thought

should get these toys.

A key to this little riddle of mine.

- He always used the same

display at the Christmas markets.

It could be there, but I'm not sure.

- Okay. That's where I'll start.

- Alright, I'll go with you.

- I'll be alright by myself. Thank you.

I'll just, I'll head over

to the Christmas markets

first thing tomorrow.

- Olivia, you're going

to the markets tomorrow?

- Yes. Yes I am.

- And you're going to show her around?

Yes, Andras?

- Actually, I was hoping you would?

- Oh me, my dear.

I run the markets, big business, you know,

can't slack with Hilarius around.

- But I could help you.

We could go to the market together.

You could, you know, show me the ropes

and then it could be like your assistant.

Besides, I think that Andras

has this big thing tomorrow,

don't you, Andras?

- Yeah, I've got something

very important to do.

- An important thing that

I haven't heard about?

I know everything that happens

in this city, Mr. Mystery.

- Almost everything.

Besides, I'm sure Miss Olivia

will be all good without me.

Oh, I'm just

so excited you're staying.

There's so much I want you to do, to see.

Absolutely.

As long as you're staying, I'll be here.

- I just wish your grandfather

was here to see it.

- Me too.

- He loved coming to America

for Christmas, of course.

But he always hoped you would

all come here for Christmas.

I didn't know that.

- We can still go home, you know?

- There's so much still to do here.

- But I don't want you to be alone.

- I could never be alone in Pecs.

This is my home after all.

- Oh, oh. My most distinguished Magdalena.

- Do not call me distinguished, Hilarius,

when what you really mean is old.

- No, no. I mean no disrespect.

Age is virtue.

Honor, grace, wisdom, brittle bones.

Let me get you a chair.

- My legs have suited me

just fine for many years.

I don't expect that to change

in the next five minutes.

- Oh, of course. Of course.

I only have a suggestion

about the market this year.

Something that really brings it

not into the 21st, but the 23rd century.

- You know, my legs are

feeling a little brittle.

I think I will have that sit down.

- Oh, oh, oh.

- Bye.

Boy, your brittle legs

are moving pretty fast there.

- And here we are.

Mine and your grandfather's pride and joy.

- I love it.

- These are among the

last toys he ever made.

Next year, I will have to start

building them myself, I think.

I couldn't bear to give this up.

- They're beautiful.

See, things can be beautiful

when you look up from your screen.

Maybe you'll find some inspiration

for your Laszlo Horvath project.

It's not really the

angle the company's going for.

No one's really into tactile toys anymore.

They're sort of, um, classic.

Oh no.

- Oh no? What's oh no?

- I think Hilarius really

believed you about your legs.

- He what?

Excuse me, dear.

I might have to put that

man in his own wheelchair.

- Get him, nagy.

Olivia?

- Yes, ma'am?

Everything okay?

- It will be.

When?

- When I get one of

those delicious looking

chimney cakes we saw on the way in.

- You have very good taste, my dear.

Who doesn't love a chimney

cake for breakfast?

And I know the very best stall.

- One second. You go ahead.

I just have to grab my bag.

- Oh, okay.

Oh.

That was wonderful.

Oh wow.

Those chimney cakes that

we had for breakfast.

Best idea.

They were so delicious.

- You can never have

too many chimney cakes.

Well, thank you for everything.

- Where are you going?

- Just to my room.

- We still have so much to do.

Christmas is a time of abundance.

You can never have too much.

Unless you have something better to do?

- No, of course not.

- How did you like the market?

- It was amazing.

You must be so proud.

- I am.

If only somebody else

was as proud as I am.

That Hilarius is going to

roll me into an early grave.

Imagine thinking that I

should be sitting on my porch

knitting like some old granny.

- I can imagine it.

Because just yesterday you

were reaching for heaven.

Yes, but Hilarius knows better.

- Maybe you should take him

up on his offer, you know,

accept just a little bit of help.

Help with modernizing

the Christmas markets.

- The Szechenyi Christmas Market

has been around for over 300 years.

People come here for tradition, Olivia,

something you and Hilarius

should learn a thing or two about.

Speaking of which,

how have you been coping

without your phone?

- I actually need to go check on it.

Work stuff.

- Should I hang your bag?

- No!

I mean, no, my phone isn't here, so...

Oh.

Okay, just have to find the list.

Give away the toys, get nagymama home,

and then bish, bash, bosh.

Not only will I have saved Christmas,

but I will still have time to

do my pitch to Laszlo Horvath.

No biggie.

I'm coming.

- Okay, maybe I do need your help.

- Giving you almost as much

trouble as this business

with your grandfather's toys?

- It's a big account.

There's a lot of pressure.

Plus, you know, the idea of

designing just another app,

interactive plastic toys seem so...

- Unimaginative?

- Exactly.

It's just, it doesn't feel

right for a Bobita film.

I like it. It's very nice.

But that's not what they want?

They want an app and some plastic.

- That's what they want.

- Well, maybe when you're back in America,

you will, you'll just try again.

- All the more reason to

get this little toy giveaway

of ours just over and done with.

Back home to the land of the plastics.

But it must be nice to

be here a little bit?

To enjoy the atmosphere, the people,

your grandmother's company.

- Yeah, the views are nice too.

- Oh, thanks.

I meant the trees and the snow.

- The snow, of course. Yeah.

- And stop!

Okay, you know what?

Yeah.

- Why don't we just go,

before I say another

ridiculous thing, yeah?

- As you wish.

- Let's do it.

So I have good news,

bad news, and terrible news.

Terrible news first.

Work backwards.

- Good news is that I could translate

your grandfather's handwriting.

I worked with the man for years,

so decoding his chicken scratches

is a special target of mine.

- I did say terrible news first.

- Fine, your grandfather

didn't make a list.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

He had, I guess you would say ideas,

very vague, general sketches

of who should get each toy.

- Okay, and the bad news?

- You have chocolate on your cheek.

Oh.

- It's okay.

- That's embarrassing.

- Just may I?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Sure.

- Okay.

- Okay, so what was the first

clue or idea or whatever?

- A child is grateful.

- Oh, that's it?

- That's it.

Oh.

- But actually, I think

I know what he means.

- Great.

- Hi buddy, how you doing?

Olivia, this is my friend, Kristoff.

Kristoff, this is Olivia.

- Hi, Kristoff.

- Hi.

- Kristoff here fell yesterday

while to fix the star in the

great Christmas tree market.

- Oh no. Is it okay?

- Never better.

The tree looks perfect now.

I think she meant the leg.

- Yeah, yeah.

Doctor says it should

be all good by Easter.

- Good then.

- Well, if you're gonna be all laid up,

I was wondering, well,

Andras and I were wondering

if you would like this toy

that my grandfather made?

- A little get well soon gift.

- Whoa, thank you!

- You're welcome.

- I think we should give

the next toy to this kid.

Alright, fine.

- She's a genius. The guy has no chance.

Wow.

- Olivia, watch.

- One second.

Wait, what happened?

- You just missed it.

- No, wait!

Wait!

- I see you're getting

full use out of your phone

now that you're out from under

Magdalena's watchful eye.

- It's work.

I'm trying to brainstorm

concepts on the go.

You know, deadlines and all.

- But it's Christmas.

- Businesses don't just

magically grind to a halt

because Jesus decided to have a birthday.

- You should use a little

time away from the thing,

it's stressing you out.

Hey, you deserve some space to breathe.

There's no such thing like

toy manufacturing emergency.

Well.

- Hey, just try. Please.

You know what?

There's somewhere I'd like

to take you, somewhere fun.

- I don't know.

- Come on.

It will be fun. Trust me.

Come on.

- Okay. I'm coming.

- Thank you.

- Wow.

It's so pretty in here.

What do they do actually?

- They say it has one of the

best acoustics of the world.

Isn't that much better than

being tied to your phone?

- Yes, it is.

You're not paying attention.

It's just that this is what

I've always wanted to do.

Make kids happy.

Did you see those kids' faces

and how they lit up today?

It was amazing.

- Yes it was.

And to think you would have missed it

if you had stayed buried in your phone.

- I know.

I took the job at Pelly thinking

that it was the best way to

do what my grandfather did.

But has anything that I've

done in these last few years

been as helpful as what we've done today?

- You don't want to be at Pelly anymore?

- No, I can't,

I can't change the toy

world from the outside.

Even Pelly just isn't an option.

- And so how are you gonna make it

if all they want are apps and screens?

- What's that?

- I don't know.

- Let's go check it out.

I never stop.

- What do you mean?

- Back home, I never stop.

Never stop to listen.

Never stop to see.

Never even stop to eat.

If I saw something like this back home,

I'd probably walk right past

it on my way to some meeting

or to eat a protein bar at my desk.

- So how does it feel to finally rest?

- I'll let you know once you

stop making me feel dizzy.

Dizzy?

- Oh, I have to take this.

- Do you?

- It's my boss.

She never video calls unless it's urgent.

That woman is addicted to email.

- All right.

- Hello?

- Well, glad to hear you're alive,

considering you stopped answering

my emails three hours ago.

- I've been busy.

- If you were busy,

I'd have some drafts on my desk by now.

Do you realize much pressure we're under?

- Yes, of course I know.

And I've been coming up

with some great stuff.

- Let me see it then.

Shoot it over to me now.

I'm about to catch my plane to London

and I wanna look over

your ideas on the flight.

- I am not at my desk right now.

I can send it over to you tomorrow.

- What is that?

- What is what?

- That Christmas music behind you?

- Oh, nothing.

I am actually at a...

- Are you at a Christmas concert?

I...

- Oh, you're not working at all.

You are vacationing.

You said you were going

to Hungary to research.

- I'm just taking a break.

- You don't take breaks

on deadline, Olivia.

Do I look like I'm taking a break?

We cannot afford to lose this account.

No distractions.

- I know, I'm sorry.

- Oh, you don't have to be sorry.

- Thank you, Francesca.

- Because you're fired.

No, no.

Please, please, Francesca, don't fire me.

- You've taken advantage of my trust.

You've flown halfway across the world

and not done the one thing

you were supposed to do.

You have failed in nearly every regard.

Why shouldn't I fire you?

- Because I'm still the best

person to land us this account.

I have the personal experience

and the history with

Laszlo Horvath's work.

- Which does me no good

if I have no designs to show him soon.

- Please, Francesca, look,

I'll, I'll leave Hungary.

Okay, I'll, I'll come back.

I'll get myself together, regroup.

And in a few days you will

have the best pitch ever.

- Fine. One more chance.

- We are going to get the contract

to make the Bobita films, I promise.

- You'd better or you'll really be fired.

- I've got it.

- And remember this time, no distractions.

- Alright. Have a safe...

Flight.

No distractions.

- Olivia, where are you going?

You're such a fast walker.

- Yeah, I have to get back to Magdalena's.

- Okay. I'll walk you.

- No, you don't. You don't have to.

- But, but I'd like to.

Hey, we can make plans for

tomorrow's toy giveaway.

We still have so much to do.

- I'm not giving any toys away tomorrow.

I'm going home.

- You mean to Magdalena's?

- No, home.

- But hey, why?

- Because I have work obligations.

And instead I've been running around Pecs

trying to play Santa Claus.

No, there's just too

many distractions here.

- Distractions?

Like me? Am I a distraction?

- It doesn't matter.

- It matters to me.

- Yeah, well, it doesn't matter

to the Bobita Corporation or Pelly Films

and I answer to them right now.

- Oh, and...

And what about what you want?

What happened to wanting

to create real toys?

About making children happy?

About wanting to stop earlier, you said-

- Forget everything I said, okay?

I was just, I was caught up in the moment.

- Forget everything you said?

- Yeah, everything.

Morning.

- Good morning.

You came in pretty late last night.

I didn't see much of you

during the day either.

- You weren't worried, were you?

- Oh, certainly not.

I knew you were in good hands.

This is usually the part where you tell me

that I'm being an annoying

nosy old grandmother.

What's wrong?

- I have to go home, nagymama.

And I need you to come with me.

- What do you mean?

- What I mean is I cannot

go home without you.

Mom would kill me,

but I have to go back and

finish this work project.

Why?

- Because it's important to me.

Why?

- Because it's my career.

- Oh, but it isn't your life, Olivia.

Life is happening all around

you and you are missing it.

And those children who play

your little screen games

are missing it too.

- Oh, that is not fair.

- But you know it's true, don't you?

When your grandfather

asked me to marry him,

he took me to his workshop

and he showed me all of the

wonderful things he built.

He created magic out of nothing more

than old wood scraps.

He said, "My love, we will

never have much money,

"but we will always be happy.

"This I swear to you."

And we were.

So I ask you, my dear,

are you happy?

When you can answer that question,

I will consider going

back to America with you

for the rest of the holidays.

- But no, but that is not what we-

- I'm off to the market now.

Have a think while I'm gone.

- What are you doing here?

- I think the better question

is, what are you doing here?

I thought you were going back to America.

- I am, I just wanted to return

nagypapa's ledger book first.

- Surprised that Magdalena's giving in.

- She hasn't given in, has she?

- She's just being silly.

She'll come around.

- No she won't.

She's just as hard-headed as you are.

What? You know I'm right.

- Well, I have done the thing now, so bye.

- You could stay, you know?

- No, I can't.

- For just one more day.

Give the 12 toys just one more chance.

Once that's done,

Magdalena will have no choice

but to go home with you.

- I have work to do.

No distractions?

Plus I have no ideas.

No fresh ones anyways.

- Why did your boss let you

come here in the first place?

Inspiration, you said?

- Yeah?

- Then let yourself be inspired.

Just for one day, please.

Okay, you know what? Give me one hour.

Can you gimme that? One hour?

- One hour?

- Great.

- Great.

- You know, when you see customers,

you should really look up from your iPad.

- Why? Most of them are

looking at their phones too.

- Your father asked me to

get you out of the house,

enjoy the atmosphere, get

in the Christmas spirit.

- I am listening to Christmas music.

- Magdalena, Magdalena, Magdalena.

Where should I put this?

You know,

Hilarius, for once in your life,

I will let you make a decision

about the Christmas market.

- Very good.

So this is my time to shine?

- No, Hilarius. No, not there.

No, no, no, no.

- So we still have nine

more toys to give away.

- Why don't we go up to a balcony

and then we can just

throw them out randomly.

Then we'll be done in

10 minutes, not an hour.

- Let me think about it. No, thanks.

That's not the way it goes.

And you wouldn't do that anyway.

Your heart is much too big.

- Oh.

- Besides, I don't have

to give out all the toys

in the next hour because

that's not the agreement.

I have to convince you

to stay in the next hour.

- Well, I've already been

to the market, Andras.

I don't exactly see how this

is all gonna change my mind.

- Not the market, but maybe someone in it.

Just as I suspected.

What?

- You said you wanna help

children reignite their curiosity,

their imagination,

to remind them what it is

to experience life, yeah?

- Yeah.

- I think there's your

chance because over there,

there is a, how do you say?

Yeah, worthy child.

- A worthy child.

- Anybody in there?

- Hi, Olivia.

- Hi. What are you playing on there?

- Cookie Coco, I'm sort of addicted to it.

- Oh, what do you like about it?

- What do you mean? You

made it, didn't you?

- I was part of the team, yeah.

- I know why. It's fun, it's bright.

- Have you thought about playing

with one of these instead?

- Not since I was like a baby.

My mom used to give me toys like that

before she, you know?

- Yeah, I know.

Listen, my grandfather,

he made these very special

toys before he passed.

Just 12 of them.

He wanted to give them

away to some worthy people,

but, well, he never got the chance.

I was wondering if you would like one?

Maybe play like you and your mom used to?

I know it would mean a

lot to my grandfather

that such a great kid

was playing with something that he made.

It would mean a lot to me too.

I mean, I know it's no Cookie Coco, but.

- I love her.

- Really?

- Yeah. She's beautiful.

My mom would have loved this.

Hey Dad.

- Hey honey.

Come and take a

look at what Olivia gave me.

- Wow! That's gorgeous.

You know what?

I think I saw some kids over there playing

with some of the same toys.

You wanna join them?

I think they're from your school.

- Yeah. Okay, I'll try.

A worthy child?

- No one likes an I told you so.

Of course.

I think I should keep an eye on her.

But we will sort out the

rest of the toys soon, yeah?

- Yeah, yeah. I'd like that.

- Cool.

- Cool.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Oh, don't bother.

- Sorry, nagymama.

- It's okay. I understand

you have to work.

Even if I don't like it.

I noticed our bags aren't packed.

Have you given any thought

to my question this morning?

- It's all I've been thinking about.

- And?

- And all my life it's been one thing,

working at a big toy company,

New York City, success.

Working at Pelly is my dream.

- But?

- Now I'm not so sure

it's what I want anymore.

- Then how good to know

you can change your mind,

want something different,

try something different.

- Oh, it's scary, nagymama.

- All the best things are, my dear.

Wow. Okay.

Here it is.

- Enjoy.

- Thanks. Oh, nice.

- Well, we shouldn't rest

on our laurels just yet.

We still have more toys to give away.

- There's only one left.

So I think we can rest easy

that all this will be settled by tomorrow.

- Well, cheers to that.

Cheers.

So I suppose you and your nagymama

are going back to America.

Maybe she will be more amenable

after a Christmas party.

- Yeah, maybe.

Unless you

don't want to go back.

- It's, it's complicated.

Tell me about it.

- Everybody wants me to go back.

Not just work.

Your family?

- But Magdalena is your family too.

- What about your family?

Does Emma really like her gift?

- Yeah, I haven't seen her this happy,

this lively in such a long time.

- She really loves that

tablet of hers, doesn't she?

- Like someone else I know.

Okay, sorry. I will stop it.

You know, when we lost her mother,

I wasn't the father I should have been.

Lost, distant.

So I gave her the tablet

to make her happy,

to distract her, but this was

such a short term solution.

You know, your grandfather

helped me become myself again,

become the father I needed to be.

But then Emma found it

hard to make friends.

She lost herself in the

internet and those games.

But it's starting to

change because of you.

- A small penance for

creating the Cookie Coco game

in the first place.

- Well, everyone has to start somewhere.

Thinking about your pitch?

- Yeah, you know, I haven't

thought about it all day,

having too much fun.

But now it's just, it's

all rushing back to me.

I have to figure something

out or I am toast.

- Let me show you something.

- Okay.

Do you have all your good

ideas in Nagypapa's workshop?

- Of course not. Only the good ones.

- I know what you're thinking, believe me,

I've thought about it already.

- Hey, you and I should

create prototypes of toys.

No plastic, no apps, just playful things

that will awaken the

imagination in children.

Just like the Bobita

films have always done.

- Just because it's what you and I want

doesn't mean it's what

Pelly Games wants, okay?

You can't, you can't

leverage a wooden toy into

millions upon millions of

dollars in micro transactions.

- I don't have a clue what that means.

But isn't it missing the

fundamental question?

- Which is?

What is really important in a toy?

Not what you or I want.

Not what Pelly or your boss want,

but what children want.

And if these last few

days have proven anything,

it's that children do want toys like this.

They just haven't gotten

them in a very long time.

- It's a big gamble.

- Well, you are almost

already fired anyway.

What's wrong with a little gamble?

At least I'll have gone

out doing something I love.

Right?

Alright, let's get to work.

- Okay, I think she's ready.

What do you think?

- I love her, but I think

there's only one critic in town

honest enough to let us know

if she's actually any good.

- True.

Then we better go ask her.

Get the official seal of approval, please.

- Yes, sir.

- And maybe you should wash your face,

just, oh no, it's better.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Well, well, well,

what's this gift for me?

You really shouldn't have.

Well, if you insist.

- Oh, I am so sorry, Hilarius.

But this gift is not you.

- Who is it for then?

- I don't know.

Children of the world, maybe.

- Yeah, children.

Always gifts for children,

never gifts for Hilarius.

Ay yi yi yi.

- Ay yi yi.

Why are you in such a hurry?

- I'm here to see you.

Open it, please.

I want you to be the first to see it.

Now it's just a prototype,

so it's still a bit rough

around the edges, but.

Did you make this?

I designed it

and I did the painting,

but Andras did the sculpting.

I think it's gonna be my pitch to Horvath.

- Oh, your grandfather

would've been so proud.

She's fabulous, isn't she?

- She's a fortune fairy

in the Bobita movie.

A fortune fairy you say?

Hello, fortune fairy.

I hope you'll forgive

me some small questions.

Let's see.

Will tomorrow's party go well?

Will Hilarius ever stop

treating me like an old woman?

- Will Olivia's pitch be successful?

And what about this?

Will Andras ask Olivia

to dance at the party?

- Hi Mom.

- Hi dear. Just calling for an update.

Did you get your flight booked?

- Actually, well, I've been thinking

Nagymama seems really happy here

and I don't know that she

should come home for Christmas.

- Oh, you mean you are

not bringing her back?

- She's having a really good time.

There's a party here tonight

and Andras, well, he-

- Who's Andras?

- He's her next door neighbor.

He has a daughter too, Emma.

They help look after nagymama and-

- Tell me about this Andras character.

Young, handsome?

- Mom, it's not like that.

- Your grandmother needs to be home.

Her home with us.

Please don't let me down.

- Okay, I'll try.

Bye.

Wow, don't you look like a Christmas card?

- I am the president of the

Christmas market, my dear.

I need to look the part.

- Well, you should bring that whole outfit

back to America with us for Christmas.

- But we aren't-

- Next year when we go back

to America for Christmas.

Maybe I will.

Are you all right, dear?

- Yeah.

Fine.

Never better.

- Oh.

- Are you ready?

- Yes, I am.

I've got my dancing shoes

on and not even Hilarius

is going to keep me

from dancing all night.

Okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- The belles of the

Christmas ball are here.

Flatterer, don't stop.

- Oh wow. You look great.

- I look like it's 30 degrees out.

- Yeah but when I look at

you, I warm up instantly.

Yeah, you know to like, 31, 32 degrees.

Okay. Shall we?

- I'll wait with you.

- Sure. What's up?

We still have one more

toy to give away?

- Andras.

- This is for you.

- Oh.

- All of the toys have to go

to someone worthy of them.

And I think in the last few days

you have proven more than worthy.

- Thank you.

- And I'm sure that you already know

that your grandfather would

have been very proud of you.

- I love her.

- Shall we?

- Please.

I've never done this dance before.

- Oh, we still have so much to teach you

about Hungarian culture.

- That's funny because you don't look like

you know what you're dancing either.

- Really?

Maybe it's because I'm

not very good dancer.

- I can see that.

- Okay.

Oh, now this.

This is something I can do.

So shall we?

- We shall.

- Okay, so you are at a beautiful party.

You look beautiful as always.

You are dancing with a handsome

guy, if I do say so myself,

yet your mind is a million miles away.

- Oh, my mom called again.

Oh?

- She wants me to bring my nagymama home.

Well, I don't wanna let her down.

I can't let her down.

- But your grandmother

is happy, so are you.

- I know and I'm so

tired of everyone trying

to tell me what to do with my life.

My mom, Francesca.

But these are my obligations.

You know, sometimes what I want, it just,

it doesn't matter.

- Yeah, but sometimes

it's all that matters.

Welcome, welcome,

welcome everyone.

Good evening to you all.

It's cold out here.

So please welcome formally

our most distinct

Christmas market president.

- Thank you for that warm

introduction, Hilarius.

And thank you all

for making this year's

Christmas market such a success.

As you all know,

there have been some significant changes

in my life this year,

but in the spirit of new beginnings,

I want to start a new tradition.

Olivia, if you wouldn't mind,

there is a big wooden

crate in my market stall.

Would you and Andras go and get it for me?

I want to give out the

12 Toys of Christmas

to some of our friends here tonight.

- Um, Nagymama?

The 12 toys are gone.

I, I gave them away.

Oh!

Nagymama, nagymama.

You gave them away?

- I thought that they were forgotten.

I thought it's what

nagypapa would've wanted.

I even used the notes in his ledger book.

- His ledger book? That was mine.

And the notes were mine to give away too,

the toys he gave them to me.

Asked me to pass them

along when he was gone.

- I'm so sorry.

I thought that if we gave them away,

if we followed the tradition,

then you would finally

get the closure you need

and we could go home to

America for Christmas.

- That's what this was all about?

Going back to America for Christmas?

- I didn't want you to be alone.

Especially not this year.

- Olivia, look out there.

Do I look alone to you?

- I'm so sorry.

- I know you are, dear.

So am I.

- Olivia?

- No.

- Olivia, hey.

- No, Andras please don't.

- Please.

- I feel horrible, okay?

I ruined everything.

- No, you didn't.

We can figure this out.

How? How?

I broke my grandmother's heart.

I gave away a piece of my grandfather.

- So the solution is what? Running away?

- I'm not running.

I'm just regrouping.

This has been the worst night ever, okay?

A huge mistake.

Well, it can't get any worse?

Olivia?

- Francesca?

- Olivia, where have you been?

- Um, what are you doing here?

- Trying and failing to get ahold of you.

I called you when I left

London. No response.

And ever since I got to this country,

I haven't been able to

get my phone to work.

It might be the

sim card if you let me.

- What are you doing here?

- It's my mistake, really.

Back in London, I was on the

phone with Laszlo Horvath

and I mentioned you were visiting Pecs.

- And?

- He's flying in tomorrow

to hear the pitch in person.

- He's what?

- That's what I said.

But he was insistent, said he

missed Hungary at Christmas,

which I guess I can see it.

The storybook. Very cute,

cozy, festive, all that jazz.

- That's perfect.

- It is?

- Yeah, because Olivia has

an incredible pitch for you.

Really, you will love it.

Give the gift of these stories

to the next generation.

- I hate it.

- What?

- I don't hate it, but I hate it for Pelly

and I hate it for Bobita.

This was not the agreement, Olivia.

- But it is right for Bobita.

- No use arguing about it now.

Come on, we've got one

night to salvage this thing.

Go and brew some coffee.

It's gonna be a long night.

- Hey Olivia. Wait.

Olivia, what are you doing?

- My job.

- But it's not what you want.

It's not what children want, you said.

- I know what I said, okay?

But I have disappointed everyone.

- What?

- I've hurt my grandmother.

My mom is gonna be heartbroken

that nagymama isn't

going home for Christmas.

And I took away this town's one chance

of starting this beautiful new tradition.

And what's worse is, I don't

know how to fix any of that,

but this, this I can fix.

- It's not true.

You haven't disappointed everyone.

You haven't disappointed me.

- Then maybe you should go before I do.

- Olivia.

- Look, thank you for everything.

It really has been a great few days.

Even if it didn't end

up how I wanted it to.

- Wait.

Would you just take them please?

- Still up?

- Yeah. Long story.

But the headline is boss comes to Hungary

and decides to change the entire pitch

before we meet with

Laszlo Horvath tomorrow.

It's gonna be a really

long night, so coffee.

- She doesn't like your idea?

- It's not an app or

made of plastic, so no.

- What have I always said?

Sometimes the old ways are the best.

- I know. I just wish that she knew that.

- Well, good luck, my dear.

- Thanks.

I'm gonna need it.

Nagy?

I wanted to give you these

to replace the ones that I gave away.

- But these your prototypes.

- I'm not gonna need them anymore.

Plus you deserve them

way more than I ever did.

Oh.

- I'm so sorry.

- About my toys

or the ones you're leaving

behind in this new pitch?

- Both.

- I have faith that both

things will mend soon enough.

- How?

- Christmas Miracle.

- I just wanted to say

what a huge fan I am.

- Thank you.

- Everyone I've talked

to in Pecs says the same.

Is it your first time here?

- No, I used to come here

a lot when I was a boy.

I'm looking forward to

visiting the markets again.

No Christmas markets in Los Angeles.

- You should visit my grandmother's

stall you will love it-

- Olivia, are you ready?

- Yeah.

Of course.

Mr. Horvath, your Bobita

films may have started

as a humble Hungarian puppet

show on local television,

but they have since blossomed

into a multimillion dollar film studio

with international reach.

And why? Because you

understand good business

and working with the toy designers

at Pelly is good business.

And here today, we bring

you the future of Bobita,

integrated gameplay.

- Miss Olivia?

- Yes?

- Do you really love my movies?

- Ever since I was a little girl.

My grandmother got me a VHS tape

of the first Bobita movie.

She brought it to the US with

her when she came to visit.

Before you started doing them in English,

those movies are actually how

I started to learn Hungarian.

- In your opinion,

does a gaming app truly

embody the spirit of my work?

- We at Pelly-

- Excuse me, Miss Olivia?

- If you want my honest opinion,

I think your work is beautiful, tactile.

It encourages the imagination.

It brings us to strange worlds

and takes us on wild adventures.

But it always feels safe, warm, homey.

I don't think an app would

give the same feeling

and it wouldn't give

it to children either.

- What she means to say is that-

- She says what she meant to say.

To tell you the truth, ladies,

I have received seven

different pitches for apps

and I have turned them all down.

I have let Bobita get too far

away from its roots already.

I will not let it become that too.

- Are you saying that you-

- Thank you for making time to pitch me,

especially at the holidays,

but I will not be

partnering with Pelly Games.

- I brought hot chocolate.

- How did you find me?

- The crying wasn't exactly quiet.

- Well, I got fired today.

Then I had to call my mom

and tell her everything.

And when you're adult,

you're going to understand

how everything is just devastating.

- Maybe you could still make things right.

- That's sweet.

But I think that ship has sailed.

- What if you found Laszlo Horvath

and give him this so magic could be made?

- Aren't you just the

sweetest little thing?

- Go on, take it.

- No, no, sweetie, you, you keep her.

Okay?

I'd love to show her to Laszlo,

but I don't think that's gonna be enough

to win him over at this point.

Not with how badly I messed up.

- Well, what if this wasn't

the only toy you had?

What do you mean?

See Olivia?

Finally a gift for Hilarius.

- Your mother called Magdalena.

Magdalena called everyone she knew

and they called everyone they

knew and we want to help.

- Come on!

Nagymama.

- I told you, Christmas miracle.

- It is. It really is.

Thank you.

Thank you all so much.

- Now the only question is how

do we get to Laszlo Horvath?

- He said he was gonna go to

the Christmas markets tonight.

We could catch him there.

But I need to stop by nagypapa's workshop

to get the prototypes first.

- Okay then by all means, everyone hurry.

We have to corner Laszlo

before he can leave.

Buy us enough time to make it.

Well, how

are you gonna do that?

- Hilarius.

Hilarius.

- Yes ma'am.

- Get that preposterous

wheelchair of yours.

We're going to need it!

- Okay.

- I heard about you told

Laszlo about the toys.

I'm very proud of you.

- I couldn't have done it without you.

- No, I know you would have.

That courage has always been in you.

I knew it for the first time when we met

and you gave me a little piece

of your very, very beautiful mind.

- Oh, what are you doing?

We are in a deadline here.

- Oh, there he is.

Oh, this had better work, Hilarius.

- It's your plan, so it will work.

My most wise matriarch.

- Oh, be quiet and drive.

- Okay, certainly.

Oh. Oh, look at you.

Look at you, are you Mr. Laszlo Horvath?

- Oh.

- I was about to leave.

- I cannot believe.

I cannot believe Laszlo

Horvath in my own little town.

I wanted to bring her

to you because she's old.

She's sick, and it would

be such an honor for her

if you would tell one of

your excellent stories.

- Usually I would be delighted, but-

- Please, just a short one.

Just a short one.

She doesn't have too much for this life.

So please, it would be

such a nice sendoff.

- Okay.

Of course.

Across seven countries

through the old French era,

through the Glass Mountains

were the curly-tailed pig doves.

- Hurry up, you are going to miss it.

- Well, it's hard to

walk in stilettos here.

- Olivia has something

truly spectacular planned.

Let's meet her over at it.

- Not if I break an ankle.

- And who let herself.

- Oh no, oh no, oh no.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Oh no, are you okay?

- Water.

- Okay, I'll get you

some, I'll get you some.

- One of those down there at the main hub.

- What is this?

- This is the real pitch,

the one I originally wanted to do for you.

If you have a few minutes,

would you mind hearing me out?

This is where you started,

where Bobita started

with a few pieces of woods, some shapes,

and stories with a lot

of heart and big dreams.

What I want for your next toy line

is to go back to those original ideas

and to do it right here in Hungary.

Our friend, Hilarius, he has a factory.

The people of Pecs, they

would make the toys.

And Andras, my grandfather's apprentice,

he would craft these new prototypes and I,

well, I would design them

with your guidance, of course.

Next year when the children

open their Christmas presents,

let them find toys like these,

something that will inspire them.

Just like the stories of

your childhood inspired you.

- Laszlo, I am so sorry.

This was totally unsanctioned.

- This is just what I

played with as a boy.

This is just what I wanted.

They're perfect.

Well, thank you very much

for believing in my stories.

- No, thank you for believing in our toys.

- I'm looking forward to a long

and happy partnership with you

and with Pecs.

- I have to hand it to you.

You were right.

- Does that mean I have my job back?

- I'll do you one better.

Head of Hungarian operations.

Full control of the Bobita account.

We'll talk through the

details after New Year.

- I can't believe that worked.

- I can.

The old ways are the best ways sometimes.

Except in my factory.

We are going to build

brand new carving machines

to help our craftsmen to bring

the children of the world

the best toys ever.

- I like the sound of that.

Thank you so much, nagymama.

- Don't thank me.

Now you have to live in Hungary

and I am going to be even more

of a meddlesome grandmother.

- I can't wait.

It's officially Christmas Eve.

- So it is.

You know what happens in Hungary

on Christmas Eve, don't you?

- What happens?

- So there is this old superstition.

If you don't kiss the prettiest

lady on Christmas Eve,

there will be an entire

year of terrible luck.

Yeah.

And if you are the

prettiest lady and you are,

you must kiss the most handsome guy.

Otherwise, bad luck.

So you see, you and I,

we must kiss, I'm afraid.

Is that so?

- Maybe, maybe not.

But would you risk an

entire year of bad luck?

Let's see.

I'm getting into really big new job,

launching an entire line of toys

and I'm starting to see a cute guy.

- This is going well.

- I think so.

But you're right.

I shouldn't risk it.
