Would you give me a hug if I got you under the mistletoe?

Someone must have shot the carrier pigeon for Christmas dinner.

I don't really know what we're doing yet, in terms of actual Christmas dinner or even the day in general, but I'd really like it if you came over and opened your gifts and stuff with us. Ginny can help you carry them, if you need it.

I do not anticipate receiving any gifts.

Also, Mindy has requested my presence for hamburgers and ice skating.

Really? Mindy invited you out?

You're going to get gifts, Rudy. Will you at least come by to unwrap what I got you?

Yes.

...It would be prudent to do so, as I will have gifts to deliver, as well.

To be honest, hamburgers and ice skating sounds a lot better than regular Christmas dinner.

If you're giving me coal, you can just keep it.

However, it bears repeating that I don't skate.

And I am offended by the implication that I am so uncreative as to offer a gift of coal. I would settle for nothing short of nuclear waste.

Because you don't like to or because you don't know how?

Well, I guess it's a good thing I got you a hazmat suit.

I am a conscientious objector.

How marvellous.

It's really not that bad. I went once last year, and it was actually pretty fun. You might have a good time.

Mindy may attempt to kill somebody with an ice skate.

It's Christmas. I think even she'd be able to make an exception.

She may observe that blood on the ice is festive.

[And after a while, he finally permits himself to add: ]

Even so, I anticipate Christmas will be unsatisfactory. As a result of Mike's absence.

If it makes you feel better, I don't think it'll be your blood.

My first year here, after a little while my dad showed up. He wasn't here for very long, but he was here long enough for me to buy him Christmas things. And then he left before Christmas even came. It was hard, and it wasn't nearly as great as it could have been had he still been in the City, but it was still okay. It's going to be tough without Mike, but you don't have to be miserable just because he's not here. Try to let yourself have fun, if you can.

Did you miss him? Upon his departure.
