I'll set the scene: Breck Van Cortlandt just graduated from Boston U with a double major in Marketing and Real Estate Investment. He had a job reserved (VP, no less) at his father's development firm, which one day, he will own...

In one line of dialogue, what comes next in the movie?
 
(Brett, in a dark room, on his cellphone) Hello, Melissa, I'm sorry but I'm calling off the wedding.
 
Father: "They need to push this project through by 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve. You are booked on the redeye to San Francisco to close the deal."
 
I've had the idea of making Lifetime/Hallmark holiday movie bingo cards, with boxes for things like "snowmobile scene," "uptight boss," "Black best friend," "cute kid with no lines, "random stranger turns out to be Santa," "failing business in danger of closing," "lead characters realize they are standing under mistletoe," etc.

I really should just print and sell these. I don't think there would be any legal issues since it's satire and I'm not using trademarks.

In other news, it's too bad Danica McKellar moved over to GAC--we don't get that channel on Dish. :-( I'll watch anything she's in, though, even if it's test patterns. :love:
