"Come on, Sam.  Everyone's gone."

"I know, Guv."

"So what're you standing under that mistletoe for?"

"Waiting for a kiss?"

"What you'll get, Tyler, is a boot up the jacksy.  Come on, I'm takin' you home."

"Don't wanna go home."

"My home.  Missus is spending Christmas with her sister."

"Hell, Guv, I'm sorry.  I mean... I didn't know."

"Yeah, well, not something to brag about is it, but there's food in the house and me for company if you want.  So bring the mistletoe."

"The mistletoe?"

"If you're game enough to take me on, Sammy boy."

"I'll get it now!"
