00:00 Bernie. Hey. How you doing man? Very badly.
00:04 I'd missed my daughter's birthday.
00:09 I'm gonna take Eve to my mom's.
00:11 My wife left me and then I got fired.
00:13 I want you out today.
00:15 That's when I happened upon this old antique jewellery box.
00:19 And then it robbed you.
00:20 Oh my God!
00:27 Who are you? I am a genie.
00:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:30 Your wish is my command.
00:32 Okay. I wish I had my very own camel.
00:34 If you're an actual genie,
00:41 you can explain the whole three wishes thing.
00:43 Fairytale stuff.
00:44 Real genies, unlimited wishes.
00:47 I wish I had large pizza, pepperoni, extra cheese.
00:52 This is just a triangle of red bread.
00:57 Go and try it.
00:59 Wait an ever loving minute.
01:02 This is heaven.
01:03 This place is big.
01:06 You've obviously been inside that box slightly longer than you think.
01:09 What the hell are we talking about?
01:11 Look what I found.
01:12 Two thousand years.
01:13 What do you call it?
01:14 A sanitiser.
01:15 Sanitiser.
01:16 Mmm. It's zesty.
01:19 I need to get my wife and kids to love me again.
01:22 And for us to be happy.
01:23 Sarah was kind of sprucing up the place.
01:26 Uh, go on. Make it the Mona Lisa.
01:28 I mean, she could have smiled, right?
01:33 Years from now,
01:37 I want you to remember
01:38 the very best present I ever had.
01:40 You're gonna love this.
01:55 So tell me about this whole Christmas thing of yours.
01:57 It was meant to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
01:59 Jesus? Are you talking about Mary's kid?
02:01 You actually met him.
02:02 What did he do to get so famous?
02:04 He turned out to be the son of God.
02:05 Oh no, I thought he was kidding.
02:08 I thought he was kidding.
