NASH

You’re just jealous you couldn’t have pulled that sweater off and won.

EMMETT

That spawn of the underworld was the stuff of nightmares. I’d rather not have the childhood trauma of small children on my conscience.

NASH

Your children helped create the aforementioned trauma.

RYAN

So you won?

EMMETT

So nice of you to join us.

NASH

They rigged it out of my favour because of spite. #publicenemynumber1 But according to Nana, there was no contest. Tell all the kids thanks. The elves especially were a crowd pleaser.

RYAN

Pretty sure my kid came up with that one.

EMMETT

You wish. It was my Sadie.

NASH

Team effort.

EMMETT

Why you ever wanted five kids to decorate it for you, I’ll never know.

NASH

For precisely this reason.

EMMETT

All these years and you still surprise me.

NASH

Keeps the friendship alive.

RYAN

I’m back. Baby’s not settling tonight.

You’re obviously still alive on enemy turf and all that.
