Vivian: Philip, should I talk to them? Or do you want to?
Philip: No, I'll give it a try.
Carlton: Dad, can I offer a suggestion?
Philip: Sure.
Carlton: Well, they're our neighbors and they're upset. And it's up to us to make sure that this doesn't ruin their Christmas. There's only one way to do that. I think we should write a few checks.
Philip: Sit down, Carlton.
Carlton: As you wish, Father.
