Safe travels, everyone!
3
00:00:31,581 --> 00:00:35,949
Merry Christmas! Merry Kwanzaa.
Happy Hanukkah.
4
00:00:42,223 --> 00:00:44,522
Bye! So long!
5
00:00:51,896 --> 00:00:53,416
What?
6
00:00:53,698 --> 00:00:55,031
Allie!
7
00:00:55,133 --> 00:00:57,432
- Hi!
- What's going on?
8
00:00:58,135 --> 00:00:59,534
Wow!
9
00:00:59,636 --> 00:01:01,302
What are you doing here?
10
00:01:01,404 --> 00:01:03,771
I just thought I'd come by
and say hello and...
11
00:01:04,340 --> 00:01:06,851
Maybe see if you needed any help
here at the community centre.
12
00:01:06,875 --> 00:01:09,219
Oh, no. What happened to your
job at the middle school?
13
00:01:09,243 --> 00:01:10,809
Budget cuts.
14
00:01:10,911 --> 00:01:12,689
- The arts
always gets it first.
- Hm.
15
00:01:12,713 --> 00:01:15,072
They said they might rehire
people after the new year
16
00:01:15,114 --> 00:01:16,992
but I could really use
a job during the holidays.
17
00:01:17,016 --> 00:01:18,760
I really wish I could
help out but of course,
18
00:01:18,784 --> 00:01:20,528
I'm all staffed up by volunteers
here.
19
00:01:20,552 --> 00:01:22,751
Plus all the other folk
just left on that bus
20
00:01:22,820 --> 00:01:24,353
to go to The Bahamas.
21
00:01:24,455 --> 00:01:26,532
So, there's no one left
here to look after.
22
00:01:26,556 --> 00:01:28,956
Tony, can you help
me with the decorations
23
00:01:29,059 --> 00:01:30,791
for the Christmas tree?
24
00:01:30,893 --> 00:01:33,204
Connie, I thought you were
on that bus to The Bahamas.
25
00:01:33,228 --> 00:01:34,927
What's going on?
26
00:01:35,029 --> 00:01:36,774
What and leave you here
all alone for Christmas?
27
00:01:36,798 --> 00:01:38,229
Don't be silly!
28
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:41,678
And here I thought
I had a week off.
29
00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:44,535
Well, can you keep the centre
open just for one person?
30
00:01:45,671 --> 00:01:48,938
Tony, the TV in the
great room's on the Fritz again.
31
00:01:49,841 --> 00:01:52,341
I'll deal with that
in a minute there, bill.
32
00:01:52,443 --> 00:01:53,443
Okay.
33
00:01:54,478 --> 00:01:56,177
Make that two persons.
34
00:01:56,279 --> 00:01:57,511
Yeah.
35
00:01:58,114 --> 00:02:00,413
Okay, you're hired.
36
00:02:00,515 --> 00:02:02,716
I wonder if you could start
today.
37
00:02:03,551 --> 00:02:05,384
Do you know how to fix TVs?
38
00:02:14,126 --> 00:02:15,603
What's wrong?
You look upset.
39
00:02:15,627 --> 00:02:16,926
Of course I am.
40
00:02:17,028 --> 00:02:19,195
This is supposed
to be an angel with wings
41
00:02:19,297 --> 00:02:21,240
and it looks
like a pigeon exploded.
42
00:02:21,264 --> 00:02:23,531
It kind of does.
43
00:02:23,633 --> 00:02:25,077
I'm Connie.
Nice to meet you.
44
00:02:25,101 --> 00:02:26,300
I'm Allie.
45
00:02:26,402 --> 00:02:28,102
Are you Tony's girlfriend?
46
00:02:28,204 --> 00:02:29,403
Oh, no, we're just friends.
47
00:02:29,471 --> 00:02:30,671
We went to school together.
48
00:02:30,739 --> 00:02:31,739
Oh, okay.
49
00:02:32,374 --> 00:02:34,172
So no spark or anything, huh?
50
00:02:34,274 --> 00:02:36,314
- No. Not really.
- No. Okay.
51
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:40,077
Allie, sit down.
Take a load off, talk to me.
52
00:02:41,514 --> 00:02:44,347
So you didn't want to go
on the Christmas cruise, Connie?
53
00:02:44,449 --> 00:02:47,116
Oh, and leave poor old bill
all by himself?
54
00:02:47,218 --> 00:02:49,396
You see, he told me
that he gets seasick.
55
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:51,886
So a cruise is out of
the question.
56
00:02:51,988 --> 00:02:54,021
And I just thought
I'd stay behind
57
00:02:54,124 --> 00:02:55,834
to see if I can help him,
the poor dear.
58
00:02:55,858 --> 00:02:58,991
Oh, so you
and bill are a couple.
59
00:03:00,395 --> 00:03:02,194
Allie, that's awfully personal.
60
00:03:02,296 --> 00:03:04,129
Oh, okay.
61
00:03:10,936 --> 00:03:12,113
Good movie?
62
00:03:12,137 --> 00:03:14,137
Nah, there's nothing on.
63
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:17,305
Bill, wouldn't you
prefer to be at home?
64
00:03:17,408 --> 00:03:18,651
Where you could put your feet up
65
00:03:18,675 --> 00:03:20,119
and crack a beer open?
66
00:03:20,143 --> 00:03:22,143
Well, to be honest.
67
00:03:22,245 --> 00:03:24,844
I didn't want to leave Connie
all by herself.
68
00:03:25,981 --> 00:03:27,781
She doesn't have any family.
69
00:03:27,883 --> 00:03:30,315
And when I found out she wasn't
gonna go on the cruise,
70
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:31,984
I thought to myself, heck,
71
00:03:32,086 --> 00:03:35,286
I can't let her
spend Christmas all alone.
72
00:03:36,755 --> 00:03:39,222
I told her I got
seasick.
73
00:03:39,658 --> 00:03:40,956
Seasick?
74
00:03:41,058 --> 00:03:42,591
Yeah.
75
00:03:43,795 --> 00:03:46,161
Bill, weren't you a
captain in the Navy?
76
00:03:46,263 --> 00:03:49,630
Well, yeah, I commanded
a cruiser in the pacific.
77
00:03:50,766 --> 00:03:52,310
I had dreams of being
an architect
78
00:03:52,334 --> 00:03:53,866
when I was a young pup.
79
00:03:53,968 --> 00:03:55,880
But my dad and my grandpa were
in the Navy
80
00:03:55,904 --> 00:03:57,647
and I just followed
in their footsteps.
81
00:03:57,671 --> 00:03:59,249
Well, you know, that's something
82
00:03:59,273 --> 00:04:00,884
we could take care of
in the new year.
83
00:04:00,908 --> 00:04:03,018
We could arrange for
you to take architecture classes
84
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:04,475
or something.
85
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:06,187
No, no. I'm too
old to get involved
86
00:04:06,211 --> 00:04:07,877
in that kind of thing anymore.
87
00:04:13,784 --> 00:04:15,183
Well, I don't know.
88
00:04:15,285 --> 00:04:17,062
Maybe there's ways for you
to stay young.
89
00:04:19,188 --> 00:04:21,354
Huh? Sorry?
Oh, yeah, sure.
90
00:04:21,457 --> 00:04:23,322
Yeah, of course.
91
00:04:24,559 --> 00:04:27,026
Well, why don't you let me
know if you need anything.
92
00:04:27,128 --> 00:04:28,626
Sure, Tony.
93
00:04:28,728 --> 00:04:30,261
Yeah, thank you.
94
00:04:30,363 --> 00:04:31,940
Listen, we are gonna have
all the activities
95
00:04:31,964 --> 00:04:33,742
that we planned to have this
week, aren't we?
96
00:04:33,766 --> 00:04:35,698
Yeah. Looks that way, bill.
97
00:04:36,935 --> 00:04:38,401
Seasick.
98
00:04:39,537 --> 00:04:41,203
So, let's cut to the chase.
99
00:04:41,305 --> 00:04:42,849
How goes the search
for Mr. Right?
100
00:04:42,873 --> 00:04:44,238
My search?
101
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:45,751
Oh, I'm not
looking for Mr. Right.
102
00:04:45,775 --> 00:04:47,808
Oh, honey.
Don't kid a kidder.
103
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:50,043
A good-looking gal like you?
104
00:04:50,145 --> 00:04:52,511
Not in the
market for a sweetheart?
105
00:04:52,613 --> 00:04:54,825
Well, actually, I just
got out of a relationship.
106
00:04:54,849 --> 00:04:56,460
So I'm kind of
putting all that on hold.
107
00:04:56,484 --> 00:04:58,643
Besides it's hard
finding the right person.
108
00:04:58,685 --> 00:05:00,485
What, are you kidding?
109
00:05:00,587 --> 00:05:02,797
With all the snaps and apps
and tubes and tweeties
110
00:05:02,821 --> 00:05:05,099
I bet you I can find you
a good catch in two minutes.
111
00:05:05,123 --> 00:05:07,323
- Here, give me your phone.
- No! No!
112
00:05:08,626 --> 00:05:10,736
Well, would you like
to meet my grandson Nathaniel?
113
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,894
He's very handsome,
lovely smile.
114
00:05:12,996 --> 00:05:14,194
Nice boy.
115
00:05:14,296 --> 00:05:15,762
Oh. No, thank you, Connie.
116
00:05:15,865 --> 00:05:17,464
I could find my own dates,
117
00:05:17,566 --> 00:05:20,299
but I'm not really in the dating
frame of mind right now.
118
00:05:20,401 --> 00:05:22,041
- Really?
- Yeah.
119
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:24,069
Yeah.
120
00:05:24,938 --> 00:05:28,539
Oh, well, I guess love can wait
while we finish our decorations,
121
00:05:28,641 --> 00:05:30,486
but just remember,
keep your eyes open.
122
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:32,775
You never know
when you'll find Mr. Right.
123
00:05:38,949 --> 00:05:41,082
You were just
missing the angel's head.
124
00:05:41,184 --> 00:05:42,517
That's beautiful. Thank you.
125
00:05:42,619 --> 00:05:44,284
My pleasure.
126
00:05:46,321 --> 00:05:48,754
Allie! Wait up.
Wait up.
127
00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:50,934
Thank you for
all your help today.
128
00:05:50,958 --> 00:05:52,323
Oh, it was my pleasure.
129
00:05:52,425 --> 00:05:54,170
Bill and Connie were
very entertaining.
130
00:05:54,194 --> 00:05:56,238
Yes, if by entertaining you mean
a handful? Absolutely.
131
00:05:56,262 --> 00:05:58,206
I'd hate to lose you
after just one day
132
00:05:58,230 --> 00:06:00,474
but I thought maybe this might
be of some interest to you.
133
00:06:00,498 --> 00:06:01,498
What is it?
134
00:06:01,599 --> 00:06:03,132
Looks like a help wanted poster.
135
00:06:03,234 --> 00:06:04,066
It's on the bulletin board
136
00:06:04,168 --> 00:06:05,700
"the Santa squad
137
00:06:05,802 --> 00:06:07,380
can help make your Christmas
dreams come true.
138
00:06:07,404 --> 00:06:09,181
Do you need someone
to help shop for you,
139
00:06:09,205 --> 00:06:11,171
decorate your tree,
wrap presents?
140
00:06:11,274 --> 00:06:13,673
The Santa squad offers a ho-ho-
whole range of services
141
00:06:13,742 --> 00:06:15,953
to help make your spirits
bright all season long.
142
00:06:15,977 --> 00:06:17,053
I'd be perfect for this job.
143
00:06:17,077 --> 00:06:18,210
Right?
144
00:06:18,312 --> 00:06:19,589
First of all, I love Christmas.
145
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:21,179
I can vouch for that.
146
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:22,992
I've heard you sing
"jingle bells" in July.
147
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:25,060
I can shop. Christmas
shopping is so much fun!
148
00:06:25,084 --> 00:06:27,284
I decorate.
I've decorated numerous times.
149
00:06:27,386 --> 00:06:28,963
I could almost
call myself a decorator.
150
00:06:28,987 --> 00:06:30,486
Too far, I think.
151
00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:32,332
I'll call them and
see how much they pay.
152
00:06:32,356 --> 00:06:33,800
Great.
153
00:06:33,824 --> 00:06:35,067
They'll probably make you wear
154
00:06:35,091 --> 00:06:36,291
one of those elf costumes.
155
00:06:36,393 --> 00:06:37,703
No way.
That's too corny.
156
00:06:37,727 --> 00:06:39,493
Is it?
157
00:06:45,567 --> 00:06:48,066
Could you point me
to the hiring office?
158
00:06:48,168 --> 00:06:49,768
Right over there.
159
00:06:51,237 --> 00:06:52,536
Oh.
160
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:55,605
Um, hello.
161
00:06:56,308 --> 00:06:59,541
Oh, hi. Did you bring
the pastrami sandwich?
162
00:06:59,877 --> 00:07:01,343
No, I'm here about a job.
163
00:07:01,445 --> 00:07:04,245
Oh, well, that's too bad.
164
00:07:07,883 --> 00:07:09,482
So you're not hiring?
165
00:07:09,585 --> 00:07:12,184
No. No, I meant too
bad about the pastrami.
166
00:07:12,286 --> 00:07:14,420
Oh, right. Okay,
but you are hiring.
167
00:07:14,522 --> 00:07:15,421
Oh, yes. Yes.
168
00:07:15,523 --> 00:07:17,655
We always need elves.
169
00:07:17,757 --> 00:07:19,991
Tell me, what
kind of elf work have you done?
170
00:07:20,093 --> 00:07:22,993
Up until recently, I was an art
teacher at a middle school.
171
00:07:23,095 --> 00:07:24,805
So we had to
do a lot of artsy things
172
00:07:24,829 --> 00:07:26,662
that required artistic skill.
173
00:07:26,764 --> 00:07:28,509
Oh, and i'm
in charge of decorating
174
00:07:28,533 --> 00:07:30,009
the community centre
for the holidays.
175
00:07:30,033 --> 00:07:32,178
Six big rooms with a Christmas
tree in each one
176
00:07:32,202 --> 00:07:34,802
plus handmade streamers,
177
00:07:34,904 --> 00:07:36,915
life-size reindeer
made out of chicken wire
178
00:07:36,939 --> 00:07:38,438
and papier maché.
179
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:40,473
Oh, for the love of...
180
00:07:40,575 --> 00:07:41,974
Would you look at that?
181
00:07:42,076 --> 00:07:43,609
Oh, um...
182
00:07:43,711 --> 00:07:45,143
Oh.
183
00:07:45,446 --> 00:07:46,978
There you go.
184
00:07:47,747 --> 00:07:50,513
Oh, ho ho. Nicely done.
185
00:07:50,616 --> 00:07:53,049
Yes, good instincts.
186
00:07:53,151 --> 00:07:55,028
Excellent
problem-solving skills.
187
00:07:55,052 --> 00:07:56,932
Oh, yes.
I have those as well.
188
00:07:57,655 --> 00:08:00,488
All right, I'm gonna
give you a hypothetical.
189
00:08:00,590 --> 00:08:02,923
It's Christmas Eve and
you get a call from a guy
190
00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:06,126
saying he forgot to get his
wife a Christmas present.
191
00:08:06,228 --> 00:08:08,027
What do you tell him to do?
192
00:08:08,129 --> 00:08:10,596
- Oh, um...
- Tick-tock, Christmas Eve.
193
00:08:10,698 --> 00:08:12,864
I would tell
him to clean the bathroom.
194
00:08:12,966 --> 00:08:14,366
Excuse me?
195
00:08:14,468 --> 00:08:16,178
Make that
bathroom shine like a diamond.
196
00:08:16,202 --> 00:08:17,701
That's what I'd say.
197
00:08:17,803 --> 00:08:19,003
All right.
198
00:08:19,771 --> 00:08:21,537
I think it's a little...
199
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,640
Okay.
200
00:08:23,108 --> 00:08:24,439
Hello, doll. It's me.
201
00:08:24,541 --> 00:08:26,274
Let me ask you.
202
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:30,344
What would you think if I
cleaned the bathroom by myself?
203
00:08:31,981 --> 00:08:32,980
Really?
204
00:08:34,049 --> 00:08:37,850
Oh, really? Well,
thank you, my love.
205
00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:39,652
All right, bye bye.
206
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:42,999
Well, you just got my
wife to say sweet things
207
00:08:43,023 --> 00:08:44,988
I haven't heard in years.
208
00:08:47,393 --> 00:08:49,558
All right,
I'm gonna give you a shot...
209
00:08:49,661 --> 00:08:50,860
The church file.
210
00:08:50,962 --> 00:08:52,206
The church file?
211
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:53,762
Yes, it's a very important job.
212
00:08:53,864 --> 00:08:55,196
One of the biggest.
213
00:08:55,298 --> 00:08:57,631
Talk to Holly,
Holly at the counter
214
00:08:57,733 --> 00:08:59,344
and she'll
get you all squared away.
215
00:08:59,368 --> 00:09:01,968
Oh, and thanks
for the gum balls.
216
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:06,638
Church file.
217
00:09:16,381 --> 00:09:18,381
This isn't a church.
218
00:09:18,483 --> 00:09:20,149
This is bigger than a church.
219
00:09:20,251 --> 00:09:22,518
This is bigger than a cathedral.
220
00:09:30,259 --> 00:09:32,024
You're in my way.
221
00:09:32,827 --> 00:09:35,094
Oh, sorry! Sorry!
222
00:09:35,562 --> 00:09:36,661
Oh...
223
00:09:44,869 --> 00:09:47,603
Now you're in my spot.
224
00:09:53,276 --> 00:09:54,442
Oh...
225
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:03,615
Oh, I am so sorry.
This is my first day here and...
226
00:10:06,753 --> 00:10:08,219
Alrighty then.
227
00:10:21,965 --> 00:10:23,263
Oh!
228
00:10:23,899 --> 00:10:25,143
- Yes?
- Hi.
229
00:10:25,167 --> 00:10:26,799
I'm Allie from the Santa squad.
230
00:10:26,901 --> 00:10:28,379
The personal holiday serv...
231
00:10:28,403 --> 00:10:30,547
I'm Daniel Hyde,
Mr. Church's personal assistant.
232
00:10:30,571 --> 00:10:32,070
Come, come.
233
00:10:32,573 --> 00:10:33,573
Oh.
234
00:10:34,807 --> 00:10:36,552
I'm so sorry.
I was in the driveway and I...
235
00:10:36,576 --> 00:10:38,442
Oh, wow!
236
00:10:38,544 --> 00:10:41,444
That's kimmee.
That's Mr. Church's lady friend.
237
00:10:41,546 --> 00:10:42,746
Mister...?
238
00:10:42,848 --> 00:10:44,847
Oh, church is the family name.
239
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:47,415
For some reason, I thought
I was going to an actual church,
240
00:10:47,517 --> 00:10:49,428
but then I thought
why would they gift-wrap?
241
00:10:49,452 --> 00:10:50,996
It's a church, but then
I thought
242
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:52,797
what the heck,
maybe they have some gifts.
243
00:10:52,821 --> 00:10:54,265
They want to give
to the people...
244
00:10:54,289 --> 00:10:55,866
You'll be assisting
Mr. Gordon church
245
00:10:55,890 --> 00:10:57,768
and his daughters,
Iris and Rose.
246
00:10:57,792 --> 00:10:58,912
Did you bring a resume?
247
00:10:58,993 --> 00:11:00,425
Oh, yes I did.
248
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,972
And you've been alerted as to
your responsibilities
249
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,395
and obligations
vis-a-vis the church household?
250
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:08,243
I mean, they told me
that I was responsible
251
00:11:08,267 --> 00:11:10,566
for taking care of setting
up for Christmas,
252
00:11:10,668 --> 00:11:13,301
you know, the presents,
decorations, et cetera.
253
00:11:13,403 --> 00:11:15,370
Any outstanding warrants?
254
00:11:15,472 --> 00:11:16,705
Outstanding? No.
255
00:11:16,807 --> 00:11:18,584
Liens on your personal property?
256
00:11:18,608 --> 00:11:20,074
No.
257
00:11:20,176 --> 00:11:21,953
Speeding tickets,
unpaid or otherwise?
258
00:11:21,977 --> 00:11:23,943
No. Excuse me,
I'm sorry,
259
00:11:24,045 --> 00:11:26,156
but Mr. Karl at the
Santa squad already went over...
260
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:27,424
One moment, please.
Yes, sir.
261
00:11:27,448 --> 00:11:29,226
Yes, she's here.
I will, sir.
262
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:31,849
Oh, and you asked me to remind
you about the Tokyo call.
263
00:11:31,951 --> 00:11:33,618
The paperwork is on your desk.
264
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,199
Never a dull moment.
One moment
265
00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:41,550
what other kinds of
guidance did you receive
266
00:11:41,592 --> 00:11:42,924
from the Santa squad group?
267
00:11:43,026 --> 00:11:44,604
They gave me
a list of do's and don'ts.
268
00:11:44,628 --> 00:11:47,494
Just general stuff.
A job's a job, right?
269
00:11:47,596 --> 00:11:50,897
The church residence
is not like other jobs.
270
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,639
There are very specific rules
we like to follow.
271
00:11:53,701 --> 00:11:56,635
Rules that have been put into
place for very specific reasons.
272
00:11:56,737 --> 00:11:58,570
Oh, okay. Like what?
273
00:11:58,672 --> 00:12:00,171
I beg your pardon.
274
00:12:00,273 --> 00:12:01,672
What are the specific reasons
275
00:12:01,774 --> 00:12:02,894
for the specific rules?
276
00:12:02,975 --> 00:12:04,474
That's not your concern.
277
00:12:04,576 --> 00:12:06,053
I just thought if I knew the why
278
00:12:06,077 --> 00:12:07,709
it would help with the how.
279
00:12:08,312 --> 00:12:09,778
Charming.
280
00:12:10,247 --> 00:12:12,246
These are
the interior decorations.
281
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:15,883
Garlands for the mantle,
holiday candles, etcetera.
282
00:12:17,019 --> 00:12:19,019
One box for the whole house?
283
00:12:19,121 --> 00:12:20,419
Is that a problem?
284
00:12:20,521 --> 00:12:23,889
No, not at all.
I'm just... it's just...
285
00:12:25,058 --> 00:12:27,859
I'm sure there's a very specific
reason. Please continue.
286
00:12:29,161 --> 00:12:32,429
These...
Are the tree ornaments.
287
00:12:32,997 --> 00:12:36,399
Each one handmade,
each one quite expensive.
288
00:12:36,634 --> 00:12:37,799
That's really impressive.
289
00:12:37,901 --> 00:12:40,001
So be quite careful with those.
290
00:12:40,737 --> 00:12:42,303
The tree is in the family room.
291
00:12:42,405 --> 00:12:44,271
Oh, yes, sir.
292
00:12:44,373 --> 00:12:46,172
Yes. I'll
be right there.
293
00:12:47,108 --> 00:12:48,786
Familiarize yourself
with the contents
294
00:12:48,810 --> 00:12:51,210
then come to the family room.
I'll meet you there.
295
00:12:55,315 --> 00:12:57,615
Arigato gozaimasu, sato-San.
296
00:12:59,484 --> 00:13:01,017
Okay.
297
00:13:04,989 --> 00:13:06,322
How does it look?
298
00:13:06,424 --> 00:13:08,389
I told them tapered.
299
00:13:08,491 --> 00:13:10,458
No, it needs to go back.
300
00:13:11,227 --> 00:13:13,371
How's the new employee
from the Santa squad?
301
00:13:13,395 --> 00:13:14,639
Does she seem up to the task?
302
00:13:14,663 --> 00:13:15,995
That remains to be seen.
303
00:13:16,097 --> 00:13:17,129
How so?
304
00:13:17,232 --> 00:13:18,531
She's a little chatty.
305
00:13:18,633 --> 00:13:19,865
But not obnoxiously, sir.
306
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:21,800
She seems scattered.
307
00:13:21,902 --> 00:13:24,381
But perhaps it's the adrenaline
of starting a new position.
308
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:26,503
As long as she gets
the job done.
309
00:13:27,506 --> 00:13:29,905
If I may ask, how did your
call with the Japanese CEO go?
310
00:13:29,975 --> 00:13:31,307
Well, he's not on board yet.
311
00:13:31,409 --> 00:13:32,652
I feel like they're waiting
for us
312
00:13:32,676 --> 00:13:34,142
to try something new,
313
00:13:34,245 --> 00:13:36,022
something that'll knock
their socks off,
314
00:13:36,046 --> 00:13:38,279
but I'm just not
sure what that is yet.
315
00:13:41,850 --> 00:13:43,595
Are smoothies
healthy in direct relation
316
00:13:43,619 --> 00:13:45,484
to how awful they taste? Ugh.
317
00:13:46,153 --> 00:13:48,353
Eugene will have the
jet ready to roll at six.
318
00:13:48,422 --> 00:13:50,800
You're meeting the football
team owner in his private box.
319
00:13:50,824 --> 00:13:52,090
And the girls?
320
00:13:52,192 --> 00:13:53,236
Iris is practicing her flute.
321
00:13:53,259 --> 00:13:54,625
Good girl.
322
00:13:54,727 --> 00:13:56,605
And Rose is studying
for her last test
323
00:13:56,629 --> 00:13:57,771
before the holiday break.
324
00:13:57,795 --> 00:13:58,895
Good.
325
00:14:00,198 --> 00:14:01,908
You know, I just wish
that she'd make some time
326
00:14:01,932 --> 00:14:04,032
to have some
fun while she's still young.
327
00:14:06,636 --> 00:14:07,801
Is something funny?
328
00:14:07,904 --> 00:14:09,103
No.
329
00:14:09,705 --> 00:14:11,582
No, it's just the idea of Rose
having fun
330
00:14:11,606 --> 00:14:12,839
would be so unusual.
331
00:14:12,941 --> 00:14:15,507
She's so studious
most of the time.
332
00:14:15,609 --> 00:14:17,242
No offense.
333
00:14:17,344 --> 00:14:19,810
I know that she is,
Daniel, and that's on me. I'm...
334
00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:22,446
I've been neglecting them.
335
00:14:22,548 --> 00:14:24,915
You'll have more time
after the holidays.
336
00:14:25,317 --> 00:14:27,316
Yeah, of course.
337
00:14:27,418 --> 00:14:29,351
Thank you, Daniel.
338
00:14:31,454 --> 00:14:33,655
Hm...
339
00:14:40,528 --> 00:14:41,694
Hello.
340
00:14:43,298 --> 00:14:44,963
Hi, I'm Iris. I'm 8.
341
00:14:45,065 --> 00:14:48,033
Hi, I'm Allie.
I'm... pleased to meet you.
342
00:14:48,135 --> 00:14:49,466
Do you work here now?
343
00:14:49,568 --> 00:14:51,235
Um... looks like it.
344
00:14:51,337 --> 00:14:52,969
Are you a gardener?
345
00:14:53,071 --> 00:14:53,937
No.
346
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:55,872
Masseuse? Chef?
347
00:14:55,974 --> 00:14:58,807
Artwork restoration technician?
348
00:14:58,909 --> 00:15:00,487
I'm here to
help out for Christmas.
349
00:15:00,511 --> 00:15:01,742
This Santa squad?
350
00:15:01,844 --> 00:15:02,977
That's right.
351
00:15:03,079 --> 00:15:04,319
Do you think it would be okay
352
00:15:04,347 --> 00:15:05,823
if we did
a little more decorating
353
00:15:05,847 --> 00:15:07,347
than we did last year?
354
00:15:07,449 --> 00:15:08,982
Well, I wasn't here last year,
355
00:15:09,084 --> 00:15:11,684
but, sure, we can have some
fun decorating.
356
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:13,863
But I'd like
to speak to your father first.
357
00:15:13,887 --> 00:15:14,927
Make sure it's okay.
358
00:15:15,021 --> 00:15:17,055
You can do that right now.
359
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:22,525
Oh.
360
00:15:23,861 --> 00:15:25,472
Hi, Mr. Church.
I'm Allie.
361
00:15:25,496 --> 00:15:27,295
Gordon. Church.
362
00:15:32,768 --> 00:15:33,934
The folder, sir.
363
00:15:34,270 --> 00:15:36,369
Hm? Right, right. Oh.
364
00:15:37,172 --> 00:15:39,411
Everything you need
is in the Christmas folder.
365
00:15:39,807 --> 00:15:40,973
Perfect.
366
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,207
When should I start?
367
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:45,554
How do you feel about starting
right now?
368
00:15:45,578 --> 00:15:46,677
Oh.
369
00:15:48,313 --> 00:15:49,679
Sure.
370
00:15:49,781 --> 00:15:51,392
Just let Daniel know
what you need
371
00:15:51,416 --> 00:15:52,960
and meanwhile,
we need to think of something
372
00:15:52,984 --> 00:15:54,350
to impress the Japanese.
373
00:15:54,452 --> 00:15:56,028
We need something
bold for the presentation.
374
00:15:56,052 --> 00:15:57,719
Can you write it backwards?
375
00:15:57,954 --> 00:15:59,387
Come again?
376
00:15:59,823 --> 00:16:01,888
The Japanese,
they read right to left.
377
00:16:01,991 --> 00:16:04,490
That's why their books seem
like they're backwards to us.
378
00:16:04,592 --> 00:16:06,092
We read left to right.
379
00:16:06,194 --> 00:16:07,360
If you don't mind.
380
00:16:07,462 --> 00:16:08,871
No, no.
Hang on, hang on.
381
00:16:08,895 --> 00:16:10,462
Go on.
382
00:16:10,564 --> 00:16:12,774
I'm just thinking.
I teach art to middle schoolers.
383
00:16:12,798 --> 00:16:13,998
And we like to show them
384
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:15,544
how different cultures
do things.
385
00:16:15,568 --> 00:16:17,511
Maybe the Japanese would
appreciate it
386
00:16:17,535 --> 00:16:19,869
if your presentation
matched their cultural style?
387
00:16:21,138 --> 00:16:22,637
That's a great idea, um...
388
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:24,439
Allie.
389
00:16:24,541 --> 00:16:26,580
That's a great idea, Allie.
Thank you.
390
00:16:29,711 --> 00:16:30,910
Goodbye, sweetheart.
391
00:16:31,013 --> 00:16:32,679
Are you going somewhere, daddy?
392
00:16:32,781 --> 00:16:35,914
Yes. I am going to a
football game in Florida.
393
00:16:36,584 --> 00:16:38,361
Why can't you just
watch it here on TV?
394
00:16:38,385 --> 00:16:40,629
Because I'm not really going
to watch the game, pumpkin.
395
00:16:40,653 --> 00:16:41,986
But you just said...
396
00:16:42,088 --> 00:16:43,465
I know it's kind of confusing
397
00:16:43,489 --> 00:16:45,133
but I will
be back in the morning, okay?
398
00:16:45,157 --> 00:16:46,289
Okay.
399
00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:50,792
- Okay?
- Okay.
400
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:52,293
Alright.
401
00:16:52,896 --> 00:16:54,107
You can get
yourself squared away?
402
00:16:54,131 --> 00:16:55,195
Sure.
403
00:16:55,297 --> 00:16:56,363
Okay, then.
404
00:16:58,501 --> 00:16:59,332
Kimmee.
405
00:16:59,434 --> 00:17:00,466
Gordon.
406
00:17:00,568 --> 00:17:01,768
Hi.
407
00:17:05,105 --> 00:17:07,017
Uh, I was just getting Allie
set up.
408
00:17:07,041 --> 00:17:08,650
She's with the Santa squad,
409
00:17:08,674 --> 00:17:10,586
the people that come
to your house and do the...
410
00:17:10,610 --> 00:17:12,020
Yeah, we met outside.
Allie, is it?
411
00:17:12,044 --> 00:17:13,543
Yes, I'm Allie.
412
00:17:13,645 --> 00:17:15,423
Allie, in the future,
you can park in the back
413
00:17:15,447 --> 00:17:17,491
by the servants' entrance.
Would that be okay?
414
00:17:17,515 --> 00:17:20,615
Oh, fine. I'm sorry
about earlier today...
415
00:17:20,717 --> 00:17:22,250
Is the Florida trip still on
416
00:17:22,352 --> 00:17:24,392
or do you need
to help Allie some more?
417
00:17:26,855 --> 00:17:28,088
Let's go.
418
00:17:45,303 --> 00:17:46,368
Hi!
419
00:17:47,771 --> 00:17:49,438
You must be Rose.
420
00:17:49,540 --> 00:17:51,605
I don't know if I must be.
421
00:17:51,841 --> 00:17:52,973
Who are you?
422
00:17:53,076 --> 00:17:55,075
Oh, I... I'm Allie.
423
00:17:55,177 --> 00:17:56,788
I'm here with the Santa squad.
424
00:17:56,812 --> 00:17:58,555
I'll be helping out
around Christmas.
425
00:17:58,579 --> 00:18:01,613
Gift-wrapping,
decorating, all that stuff.
426
00:18:06,519 --> 00:18:09,486
Did you know that some sharks
can live up to five centuries?
427
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:12,588
No, I didn't know that.
428
00:18:13,658 --> 00:18:15,401
Did you know that
the heart of the shrimp
429
00:18:15,425 --> 00:18:16,991
can be found in its head?
430
00:18:17,094 --> 00:18:19,094
I didn't know that either.
431
00:18:19,695 --> 00:18:21,540
Can you guess which
animal features prominently
432
00:18:21,564 --> 00:18:24,163
in the Christmas song
"the twelve days of Christmas"?
433
00:18:24,933 --> 00:18:26,599
Um... let me think.
434
00:18:26,701 --> 00:18:27,701
Birds.
435
00:18:27,802 --> 00:18:29,267
French hens, turtle doves
436
00:18:29,369 --> 00:18:32,169
geese, swan and
the infamous partridge.
437
00:18:32,472 --> 00:18:34,038
You're right.
438
00:18:34,140 --> 00:18:36,406
No, I never thought of it
as a song about birds.
439
00:18:37,542 --> 00:18:39,862
There are those who
theorize that five golden rings
440
00:18:39,945 --> 00:18:41,944
relate to the ring-necked
pheasant.
441
00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:44,946
I'm not so sure.
442
00:18:45,381 --> 00:18:46,747
I see.
443
00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:49,049
Well, you have to be sure.
444
00:18:49,885 --> 00:18:51,318
It's vital.
445
00:18:52,621 --> 00:18:54,987
Well, maybe "jingle bells"
446
00:18:55,089 --> 00:18:57,589
is really a song
about birds that...
447
00:18:57,991 --> 00:18:59,951
I don't know,
make a jingle sound.
448
00:19:01,194 --> 00:19:02,726
Birds don't jingle.
449
00:19:10,968 --> 00:19:12,467
Nice to meet you.
450
00:19:14,837 --> 00:19:16,537
Whew.
451
00:19:37,355 --> 00:19:38,587
Gosh.
452
00:19:38,689 --> 00:19:40,528
Do you like that one?
453
00:19:40,957 --> 00:19:43,358
Yes, it's amazing.
454
00:19:48,663 --> 00:19:50,708
Iris, do you want to
help decorate the tree?
455
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:52,265
We could ask Rose, too.
456
00:19:52,366 --> 00:19:54,799
We're not allowed to touch
those decorations.
457
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:55,800
Well, that's too bad.
458
00:19:55,903 --> 00:19:57,368
Decorating the tree
459
00:19:57,470 --> 00:19:59,081
is one of the most
fun things you can do
460
00:19:59,105 --> 00:19:59,970
at Christmas time.
461
00:20:00,072 --> 00:20:01,538
Not around here.
462
00:20:03,175 --> 00:20:05,051
Well, does your family have
any ornaments
463
00:20:05,075 --> 00:20:06,835
that aren't so expensive?
464
00:20:07,178 --> 00:20:08,977
I mean, these are incredible
465
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,723
but do you have
some personal ones
466
00:20:10,747 --> 00:20:12,013
you girls made in school?
467
00:20:12,115 --> 00:20:13,459
They don't do stuff like that
468
00:20:13,482 --> 00:20:15,849
at the kinds
of schools we go to.
469
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:29,671
Now the Christmas gifts
have been ordered
470
00:20:29,695 --> 00:20:31,805
and should be arriving
within the next few days.
471
00:20:31,829 --> 00:20:34,597
So, all the gifts are being
delivered from online stores?
472
00:20:34,698 --> 00:20:36,031
Yes, of course.
473
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:38,511
Would there be
any opportunity for me
474
00:20:38,535 --> 00:20:39,934
to do any private shopping?
475
00:20:40,036 --> 00:20:41,502
I'm very good in a mall.
476
00:20:41,904 --> 00:20:43,236
Be that as it may
477
00:20:43,338 --> 00:20:45,283
this is how we
sort the Christmas gifts.
478
00:20:45,307 --> 00:20:46,717
Now, most of
them will come wrapped.
479
00:20:46,741 --> 00:20:48,440
But you'll be responsible
480
00:20:48,542 --> 00:20:50,287
for taking care of the ones
that aren't.
481
00:20:50,311 --> 00:20:52,188
I'll be expecting
perfectly creased corners.
482
00:20:52,212 --> 00:20:53,578
Nothing gaudy.
483
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,790
Conservative bows.
Classic colors.
484
00:20:54,814 --> 00:20:56,279
Oh, about that.
485
00:20:56,381 --> 00:20:57,859
I saw the most
amazing cellophane shells.
486
00:20:57,883 --> 00:20:59,294
You just slide it
over the gift boxes
487
00:20:59,318 --> 00:21:00,427
and you top it with
shredded bows...
488
00:21:00,451 --> 00:21:01,695
- No.
- But...
489
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:02,719
No.
490
00:21:03,487 --> 00:21:04,852
Are we clear?
491
00:21:04,955 --> 00:21:06,554
Yes, we are.
492
00:21:13,628 --> 00:21:16,928
The girls are adorable
and the dad, he seems nice,
493
00:21:17,030 --> 00:21:19,464
but the house
just feels empty, lifeless.
494
00:21:19,566 --> 00:21:20,910
Yeah, well, the way you describe
495
00:21:20,934 --> 00:21:22,678
that big old mansion sounds like
496
00:21:22,702 --> 00:21:24,947
it'll take a hundred people
are more to fill it up.
497
00:21:24,971 --> 00:21:27,437
So the dad, Mr. Church,
498
00:21:27,539 --> 00:21:29,272
he's dating this woman.
499
00:21:29,374 --> 00:21:31,493
I think she wants
to scratch my eyes out.
500
00:21:31,542 --> 00:21:32,975
I'm sure you just imagined it.
501
00:21:33,077 --> 00:21:34,609
Oh, she looks at me like.
502
00:21:34,711 --> 00:21:36,077
Oh my goodness.
503
00:21:36,179 --> 00:21:38,011
I... I'm sure it's nothing.
504
00:21:38,113 --> 00:21:40,058
I just want to loosen
the girls up,
505
00:21:40,082 --> 00:21:41,926
you know, find the joy of
Christmas.
506
00:21:41,950 --> 00:21:43,694
All they need is a little
guidance.
507
00:21:43,718 --> 00:21:45,662
I don't know, Allie.
Don't get involved.
508
00:21:45,686 --> 00:21:47,630
I think you should just walk
through these next few weeks,
509
00:21:47,654 --> 00:21:49,632
but a little something
in your bank account.
510
00:21:49,656 --> 00:21:51,600
Hit the ground
running for the new year.
511
00:21:51,624 --> 00:21:54,157
Maybe I can bring
some creativity to the job.
512
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:56,237
Change things
up in the church household.
513
00:21:56,261 --> 00:21:57,994
Uh oh.
514
00:21:58,096 --> 00:21:59,806
You're getting that Lucille
ball look in your eyes.
515
00:21:59,830 --> 00:22:01,196
There it is, that's it.
516
00:22:01,298 --> 00:22:02,375
I don't like it.
What are you thinking?
517
00:22:02,399 --> 00:22:03,831
Well, first of all,
518
00:22:03,933 --> 00:22:05,410
can I use some of the
community centre's
519
00:22:05,434 --> 00:22:06,714
leftover Christmas decorations?
520
00:22:06,769 --> 00:22:08,434
Of course.
521
00:22:08,536 --> 00:22:10,870
We've got enough to last us
a few years at least.
522
00:22:12,573 --> 00:22:14,784
Well, we've heard of the
Christmas presents list.
523
00:22:14,808 --> 00:22:15,874
Uh huh.
524
00:22:15,976 --> 00:22:17,775
The naughty and nice list.
525
00:22:17,844 --> 00:22:19,043
Sure.
526
00:22:19,145 --> 00:22:21,024
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
527
00:22:21,113 --> 00:22:22,946
we introduce to you
528
00:22:23,048 --> 00:22:27,016
the master list of fun
Christmas activities.
529
00:22:31,388 --> 00:22:32,919
You look underwhelmed.
530
00:22:33,022 --> 00:22:35,182
That's because
you forgot to sell it with...
531
00:22:35,557 --> 00:22:36,923
Ta-da!
532
00:22:37,625 --> 00:22:39,058
Ta-da!
533
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,871
Wow. Okay,
that's a really good idea.
534
00:22:40,895 --> 00:22:42,472
- Good, right?
- Yeah.
535
00:22:42,496 --> 00:22:44,496
I think it'll work.
536
00:22:46,966 --> 00:22:49,133
Iris! Rose!
537
00:22:50,201 --> 00:22:51,968
What is it, Allie?
538
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:53,803
You guys busy?
539
00:22:53,905 --> 00:22:56,104
I'm studying for my big
biology test.
540
00:22:56,206 --> 00:22:57,839
She's been studying for a month.
541
00:22:57,941 --> 00:23:01,709
She's gonna get an a
plus plus plus plus plus.
542
00:23:02,278 --> 00:23:03,843
There is no such grade.
543
00:23:03,945 --> 00:23:05,556
- Is too!
- Is not.
544
00:23:05,580 --> 00:23:07,224
Ladies, come on, it's Christmas.
545
00:23:07,248 --> 00:23:08,947
And I've come up
546
00:23:09,050 --> 00:23:11,282
with the master list
of Christmas activities.
547
00:23:14,554 --> 00:23:16,119
Ta-da!
548
00:23:18,057 --> 00:23:19,755
No? Okay.
549
00:23:19,857 --> 00:23:22,191
Anyway, how'd you like
to help me decorate the house?
550
00:23:22,293 --> 00:23:23,758
Isn't that your job?
551
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:26,361
Well, yes, but it's so
much fun to do together.
552
00:23:26,463 --> 00:23:28,629
We've never decorated before.
553
00:23:28,731 --> 00:23:30,971
Well, that's the
beauty of Christmas activities.
554
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,566
You don't need experience.
Just a little elbow grease.
555
00:23:33,668 --> 00:23:35,388
Come on.
Give it a try.
556
00:23:37,871 --> 00:23:39,004
Come on.
557
00:23:43,509 --> 00:23:46,876

558
00:23:47,713 --> 00:23:49,312

Oh, no.
565
00:24:07,828 --> 00:24:10,028
No, no, no.
566
00:24:10,529 --> 00:24:11,962
No.
567
00:24:16,501 --> 00:24:18,301
Oh, no.
568
00:24:19,703 --> 00:24:21,303
Daniel!
569
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,105
Yes, kimmee.
I didn't see you there.
570
00:24:25,641 --> 00:24:26,741
What is all this?
571
00:24:26,843 --> 00:24:28,308
I look away for one second
572
00:24:28,410 --> 00:24:30,650
and the house is overrun
by whimsy and merriment.
573
00:24:30,679 --> 00:24:32,456
I mean that's not
what Christmas is about.
574
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,215
No, no. Christmas
is about luxury and elegance.
575
00:24:37,317 --> 00:24:40,050
Artistry and
the exquisite refinement
576
00:24:40,152 --> 00:24:43,286
of the tasteful and chic.
577
00:24:43,888 --> 00:24:45,354
I'll see what I can do.
578
00:24:45,456 --> 00:24:47,790
Yes, you go do that.
579
00:24:48,225 --> 00:24:49,302
- Go.
- Yeah.
580
00:24:49,326 --> 00:24:50,458
Go.
581
00:24:54,029 --> 00:24:55,996
No.
582
00:24:58,933 --> 00:25:02,334
Did you know that snails
could sleep for 3 years?
583
00:25:02,436 --> 00:25:05,569
Yes! And slugs
can have four noses, huh?
584
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:08,439
Huh! Well, it actually
reminded me
585
00:25:08,541 --> 00:25:11,241
that sometimes we can get stuck
for a long time
586
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,343
doing the same things
over and over
587
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:15,489
when there might be a fun way
to break the routine.
588
00:25:15,513 --> 00:25:17,212
How so?
589
00:25:17,314 --> 00:25:19,914
Well... maybe you could take
a break from your studies
590
00:25:20,016 --> 00:25:21,482
and help Iris and me
591
00:25:21,584 --> 00:25:23,850
make homemade Christmas tree
decorations.
592
00:25:25,020 --> 00:25:27,379
It's next on the master
list of Christmas activities.
593
00:25:27,422 --> 00:25:29,889
That's not
a real thing.
594
00:25:29,991 --> 00:25:31,156
Is it?
595
00:25:31,258 --> 00:25:32,757
Well, no.
596
00:25:32,859 --> 00:25:34,770
But it
sounds like it can be fun.
597
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,238
- Yeah?
- Yes.
598
00:25:36,262 --> 00:25:37,394
Great!
599
00:25:37,496 --> 00:25:40,530
Is... is that glue gun?
600
00:25:40,999 --> 00:25:43,765
Yes, and I have pipe cleaners
601
00:25:43,867 --> 00:25:46,935
and sparkles and scissors
and construction paper.
602
00:25:47,037 --> 00:25:48,135
Because...?
603
00:25:48,671 --> 00:25:49,782
I thought it'd be fun
for the girls
604
00:25:49,806 --> 00:25:51,272
to make their own ornaments.
605
00:25:51,374 --> 00:25:53,017
Kind of get in the
spirit of the season.
606
00:25:53,041 --> 00:25:54,240
Surely not on this table.
607
00:25:54,342 --> 00:25:55,642
It's an antique.
608
00:25:55,743 --> 00:25:58,243
We'll be so careful.
Won't we, Allie?
609
00:25:58,345 --> 00:26:00,945
Yeah, we can put newspaper down.
610
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:20,160
There, now, isn't that better?
611
00:26:20,262 --> 00:26:22,421
Now you can make all your
little art things
612
00:26:22,464 --> 00:26:24,163
in the bright light of the day.
613
00:26:24,265 --> 00:26:27,032
It's sort of cold out
here, Daniel.
614
00:26:27,134 --> 00:26:29,700
Yes, well it's a good thing
you're wearing your gloves.
615
00:26:32,104 --> 00:26:34,437
I trust this is the final
decorating activity
616
00:26:34,539 --> 00:26:36,172
for the season.
617
00:26:36,274 --> 00:26:37,507
More or less.
618
00:26:41,612 --> 00:26:44,156
So tell me a little
bit about
619
00:26:44,180 --> 00:26:45,925
what you guys usually do
for Christmas.
620
00:26:45,949 --> 00:26:47,392
Do you guys get your
dad a present
621
00:26:47,416 --> 00:26:48,827
just from the two of you?
622
00:26:48,851 --> 00:26:50,595
I can help you do that
if you want.
623
00:26:50,618 --> 00:26:53,285
I can't think of anything
he doesn't already have.
624
00:26:53,387 --> 00:26:55,820
All the Christmas gifts for us
have been picked out.
625
00:26:55,922 --> 00:26:57,700
They're in the folder
Daniel gave you.
626
00:26:57,724 --> 00:26:58,756
Right.
627
00:26:58,859 --> 00:27:00,591
Yes, I did see that.
628
00:27:01,794 --> 00:27:04,271
What about getting him something
a little more personal
629
00:27:04,295 --> 00:27:06,329
like a handmade card
630
00:27:06,431 --> 00:27:09,631
or a poem or a photo album?
631
00:27:09,733 --> 00:27:11,566
Something from the heart.
632
00:27:11,668 --> 00:27:14,034
We don't really do those kinds
of things.
633
00:27:14,136 --> 00:27:16,236
Daddy travel so much
634
00:27:16,338 --> 00:27:18,082
we just got used to picking
out our presents
635
00:27:18,106 --> 00:27:19,639
from catalogs.
636
00:27:20,207 --> 00:27:22,118
But don't you guys
ever want to be surprised?
637
00:27:22,142 --> 00:27:23,887
And receive something we didn't
ask for?
638
00:27:23,911 --> 00:27:25,943
Yeah! Maybe get a present
639
00:27:26,045 --> 00:27:27,378
you didn't know you needed.
640
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,557
Like?
641
00:27:28,581 --> 00:27:30,280
Like a bicycle?
642
00:27:30,382 --> 00:27:31,548
We already have those.
643
00:27:31,650 --> 00:27:33,148
A puppy?
644
00:27:33,251 --> 00:27:34,617
I'm allergic.
645
00:27:34,719 --> 00:27:35,818
Okay.
646
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Oh!
647
00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:41,955
Now that was a surprise.
648
00:27:44,393 --> 00:27:46,859
Allie, you look like
a Christmas tree!
649
00:27:46,961 --> 00:27:48,327
Perfect.
650
00:28:00,338 --> 00:28:01,504
Good morning, Allie.
651
00:28:01,606 --> 00:28:03,672
Hi! Sorry
about this.
652
00:28:03,774 --> 00:28:05,854
I don't usually wear glitter
on my face.
653
00:28:05,943 --> 00:28:07,575
Oh, here, you missed some.
654
00:28:07,677 --> 00:28:09,010
Oh.
655
00:28:13,315 --> 00:28:16,148
Uh... can offer you a coffee?
656
00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:18,450
Oh, um, no thanks.
657
00:28:18,786 --> 00:28:20,852
So the decorations look nice.
658
00:28:20,954 --> 00:28:23,165
I don't think we've ever had
this much Christmas
659
00:28:23,189 --> 00:28:24,421
in our house before.
660
00:28:24,523 --> 00:28:26,323
I hope that's okay.
661
00:28:26,425 --> 00:28:29,191
Of course. I heard you
persuaded the girls to help you.
662
00:28:29,294 --> 00:28:30,793
Oh didn't take much persuading.
663
00:28:30,895 --> 00:28:32,472
They were
really excited to pitch in.
664
00:28:32,496 --> 00:28:33,695
Really? Even Rose?
665
00:28:33,797 --> 00:28:35,363
- Yeah!
- Hm.
666
00:28:35,465 --> 00:28:37,142
I think when kids are young
they don't realize
667
00:28:37,166 --> 00:28:39,244
the fun that can be had
with simple activities.
668
00:28:39,268 --> 00:28:40,800
They're all so fixated
669
00:28:40,902 --> 00:28:42,480
by their devices and screens.
670
00:28:42,504 --> 00:28:44,170
They forget there's a big world
671
00:28:44,272 --> 00:28:45,549
just waiting to be experienced.
672
00:28:45,573 --> 00:28:47,317
I'm afraid I fit into
that category.
673
00:28:47,341 --> 00:28:49,084
No matter how
many phone calls I make
674
00:28:49,108 --> 00:28:50,953
I'm always five calls behind.
675
00:28:50,977 --> 00:28:52,877
So what's on the agenda today?
676
00:28:52,979 --> 00:28:54,377
Oh, um...
677
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:57,213
Iris and I were just making
some homemade...
678
00:28:57,316 --> 00:28:59,415
Ornaments for the tree.
679
00:29:01,985 --> 00:29:05,720
Really? Has Daniel not
shown you the ones we use?
680
00:29:08,057 --> 00:29:10,856
Oh, yes! And... and they are
so beautiful.
681
00:29:10,959 --> 00:29:14,826
I just thought you know, why not
add a personal touch of tree.
682
00:29:15,295 --> 00:29:16,461
How about you.
683
00:29:16,563 --> 00:29:17,829
Me?
684
00:29:17,931 --> 00:29:19,296
I'm sure it's been years
685
00:29:19,398 --> 00:29:21,276
since you
bedazzled a Styrofoam ball.
686
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:22,499
Oh, I don't think I can.
687
00:29:22,602 --> 00:29:24,345
What's on my schedule this
morning?
688
00:29:24,369 --> 00:29:26,280
Uh, you have a... you're
expecting a call
689
00:29:26,304 --> 00:29:27,936
with the arbitration team.
690
00:29:28,038 --> 00:29:29,705
Right. Um...
691
00:29:36,445 --> 00:29:39,279
That can wait 'til after
the holidays, though. Right?
692
00:29:41,515 --> 00:29:43,515
Let's make an ornament.
693
00:29:43,618 --> 00:29:45,817
Okay.
694
00:29:54,525 --> 00:29:56,491
The glitter's not really
sticking.
695
00:29:56,994 --> 00:29:58,605
I think you have a
little too much glue.
696
00:29:58,629 --> 00:30:01,762
Okay, well, let me...
Wipe some off here.
697
00:30:03,299 --> 00:30:06,265
Uh oh.
698
00:30:08,269 --> 00:30:10,235
I... I need help.
699
00:30:10,337 --> 00:30:12,204
This will be interesting.
700
00:30:17,310 --> 00:30:19,909
Thank you. Okay, let's... let's
try this from the top again.
701
00:30:25,349 --> 00:30:27,526
I think I did it again.
I need some more help.
702
00:30:27,550 --> 00:30:29,150
Yeah. Thanks.
703
00:30:39,726 --> 00:30:41,646
I think we're really stuck here.
704
00:30:41,962 --> 00:30:43,394
Well...
705
00:30:43,696 --> 00:30:45,362
Isn't this a cozy picture?
706
00:30:45,464 --> 00:30:47,664
Hey, kimmee, um...
707
00:30:48,066 --> 00:30:49,810
I didn't know you were
coming over today.
708
00:30:49,834 --> 00:30:52,501
Clearly. I thought i'd
surprise you with a lunch date.
709
00:30:52,870 --> 00:30:54,269
That's a great idea.
710
00:30:54,371 --> 00:30:56,637
Let me just get cleaned up and
we can get going.
711
00:30:56,739 --> 00:30:59,106
Guys, we'll see you a little bit
later. Okay?
712
00:30:59,475 --> 00:31:01,107
Excuse me, guys.
713
00:31:01,209 --> 00:31:03,490
What's your favourite
part about Christmas, Rose?
714
00:31:03,578 --> 00:31:05,422
Is it the songs on the radio,
715
00:31:05,446 --> 00:31:07,513
seeing your favourite movies
on the TV?
716
00:31:09,482 --> 00:31:12,250
I like it when Christmas day
falls on a Monday.
717
00:31:12,352 --> 00:31:13,583
How come?
718
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:15,819
Because Mondays are hard.
719
00:31:15,921 --> 00:31:18,054
And Mondays mean I have to
go to school
720
00:31:18,156 --> 00:31:20,156
and find
out if the work I've done...
721
00:31:20,725 --> 00:31:22,390
If it's good enough.
722
00:31:22,492 --> 00:31:24,025
Oh, Rose.
723
00:31:24,127 --> 00:31:26,560
That's a lot of pressure to put
on yourself.
724
00:31:26,662 --> 00:31:30,596
Honey, all you can do, all any
of us can do, is try our best.
725
00:31:30,699 --> 00:31:32,276
You can't beat yourself up
726
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,379
every time we don't get
an a on a test.
727
00:31:34,601 --> 00:31:36,034
But I do.
728
00:31:36,303 --> 00:31:37,769
Aw...
729
00:31:40,373 --> 00:31:43,039
Rose, what's that bump in your
pocket?
730
00:31:43,375 --> 00:31:44,841
My ornament.
731
00:31:44,943 --> 00:31:47,342
Wow, that's amazing.
732
00:31:47,445 --> 00:31:49,178
It's the eye of a dragonfly.
733
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,180
Each of their eyes
is made of 30,000 facets
734
00:31:52,282 --> 00:31:55,282
resulting in 360-degree vision.
735
00:31:55,384 --> 00:31:57,517
Well, that is
a gorgeous ornament
736
00:31:57,619 --> 00:31:59,752
and it deserves a place
on the tree.
737
00:31:59,854 --> 00:32:01,353
Come on.
738
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:07,358
Allie, you don't have to keep
coming in here
739
00:32:07,460 --> 00:32:10,027
to hang out with us. There's
really not that much going on.
740
00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:12,740
Well, we don't need a lot of
people for the next item
741
00:32:12,764 --> 00:32:15,031
on our master list of Christmas
activities.
742
00:32:15,133 --> 00:32:16,498
Visiting loved ones.
743
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,567
I see. And who do we have here?
744
00:32:18,669 --> 00:32:20,001
I'm Iris. I'm eight.
745
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:21,635
My name is Tony.
746
00:32:21,738 --> 00:32:24,038
I'm 32.
That's four times that.
747
00:32:24,673 --> 00:32:26,017
And who are
you, pretty little lady?
748
00:32:26,041 --> 00:32:27,140
My name is Rose.
749
00:32:27,242 --> 00:32:28,541
Nice to meet you Rose.
750
00:32:29,143 --> 00:32:30,721
Rose, you're
so good at making ornaments
751
00:32:30,745 --> 00:32:32,578
I thought you could help.
752
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,480
And Iris, you look like you'd be
pretty good with a paintbrush.
753
00:32:35,582 --> 00:32:37,080
I'm not allowed to draw at home.
754
00:32:37,182 --> 00:32:39,783
But can you keep a secret?
755
00:32:39,885 --> 00:32:41,650
Cross my heart.
756
00:32:42,186 --> 00:32:44,465
Well, sometimes when
I'm supposed to be practicing
757
00:32:44,489 --> 00:32:47,188
playing the flute,
I draw and I paint instead
758
00:32:47,290 --> 00:32:49,823
and I hide my
pictures under the bed.
759
00:32:50,860 --> 00:32:53,627
Well, today you can
paid out in the open
760
00:32:53,729 --> 00:32:55,595
in front of everybody.
Deal?
761
00:32:55,697 --> 00:32:57,230
Deal.
762
00:32:58,265 --> 00:33:00,565
Come on, I think
you'll like this. Come here.
763
00:33:04,403 --> 00:33:06,281
Okay. So once the circles are
finished
764
00:33:06,305 --> 00:33:08,049
we're going to string
them all together
765
00:33:08,073 --> 00:33:09,684
and hang
them all around the room.
766
00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:11,073
Oh, that's gonna look so nice.
767
00:33:11,175 --> 00:33:12,552
It'll look like Christmas
lights.
768
00:33:12,576 --> 00:33:13,809
Yeah.
769
00:33:13,911 --> 00:33:16,244
So, um, does this little
one here
770
00:33:16,346 --> 00:33:18,746
Come with a single
father by any chance?
771
00:33:19,481 --> 00:33:21,426
Iris, do you mind going
and filling up
772
00:33:21,450 --> 00:33:23,194
my water glass
for me in the kitchen?
773
00:33:23,218 --> 00:33:25,217
- Sure.
- Thank you.
774
00:33:25,787 --> 00:33:27,219
She's a nice kid.
775
00:33:28,054 --> 00:33:29,465
- Connie!
- Uh huh?
776
00:33:29,489 --> 00:33:31,623
It's a job not an
opportunity for a date.
777
00:33:31,725 --> 00:33:34,558
Allie, everything's
an opportunity to find a date.
778
00:33:34,660 --> 00:33:36,592
No, he has a...
779
00:33:37,562 --> 00:33:39,640
I guess you could call her
his girlfriend.
780
00:33:39,664 --> 00:33:41,163
Really?
781
00:33:41,265 --> 00:33:43,385
I take it you're
not too thrilled with her.
782
00:33:43,467 --> 00:33:46,634
Well, she just
doesn't seem like his type.
783
00:33:46,736 --> 00:33:48,714
She doesn't connect
at all with his daughters.
784
00:33:48,738 --> 00:33:51,604
It's like she thinks
they're in her way or something.
785
00:33:51,706 --> 00:33:53,450
Anyway, it's none of my
business.
786
00:33:53,474 --> 00:33:55,407
No, none of your business.
787
00:33:57,377 --> 00:33:58,609
Well, it isn't.
788
00:33:59,445 --> 00:34:00,445
Is it?
789
00:34:03,282 --> 00:34:04,181
Oh, hey.
790
00:34:04,283 --> 00:34:05,781
The girls are great.
791
00:34:05,883 --> 00:34:07,661
We should bring kids
around here more often.
792
00:34:07,685 --> 00:34:09,185
They make old folks happy.
793
00:34:09,287 --> 00:34:10,663
They're having a great time.
794
00:34:10,687 --> 00:34:12,298
I don't think they get out much.
795
00:34:12,322 --> 00:34:13,933
Their lives are kind of
regimented.
796
00:34:13,957 --> 00:34:15,889
Ah. Would you get a load
of this.
797
00:34:15,991 --> 00:34:17,969
I try to get bill
to open up for weeks.
798
00:34:17,993 --> 00:34:20,092
Ten minutes with this kid,
799
00:34:20,195 --> 00:34:22,727
and she has him gabbin' away
like they're Old Navy buddies.
800
00:34:22,830 --> 00:34:25,730
This is ready
to drink now and serve. Table 2.
801
00:34:30,203 --> 00:34:32,468
What's that, a Christmas cow?
802
00:34:33,238 --> 00:34:35,238
It's a reindeer.
803
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:37,306
Oh, yeah. Huh.
804
00:34:37,408 --> 00:34:40,041
Did you know that reindeers'
eyes turn blue in the winter?
805
00:34:40,143 --> 00:34:41,642
I did know that.
806
00:34:41,744 --> 00:34:43,944
Did you know that cows sleep
standing up
807
00:34:44,046 --> 00:34:45,545
but they dream lying down?
808
00:34:45,647 --> 00:34:46,947
That's a good one.
809
00:34:47,049 --> 00:34:49,088
You are really something.
810
00:34:50,651 --> 00:34:52,517
That woman is staring at you.
811
00:34:53,019 --> 00:34:54,419
Uh, what woman's that?
812
00:34:54,521 --> 00:34:55,987
Over there.
813
00:34:58,190 --> 00:34:59,623
Oh, yeah.
814
00:35:00,125 --> 00:35:02,236
She's probably looking
at the clock on the wall.
815
00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:04,827
I don't think so.
She's wearing a watch.
816
00:35:07,531 --> 00:35:09,064
So she is.
817
00:35:17,571 --> 00:35:18,582
Did you girls have fun?
818
00:35:18,606 --> 00:35:20,217
- I did.
- Me too.
819
00:35:20,241 --> 00:35:22,218
Okay, wait, there's one more
activity tonight.
820
00:35:22,242 --> 00:35:24,108
What is it?
821
00:35:24,210 --> 00:35:26,877
The next item on the master list
of Christmas activities...
822
00:35:26,979 --> 00:35:28,845
Holiday lights!
823
00:35:36,286 --> 00:35:37,286
Come here.
824
00:35:46,127 --> 00:35:48,760
Is this even real?
825
00:35:48,862 --> 00:35:50,607
It's like looking at a
fairy tale.
826
00:35:50,631 --> 00:35:52,463
When I was a girl
827
00:35:52,565 --> 00:35:54,309
we used to drive
around neighborhoods
828
00:35:54,333 --> 00:35:55,743
with lots of Christmas lights.
829
00:35:55,767 --> 00:35:57,500
It was magical.
830
00:35:59,271 --> 00:36:01,248
Did your family
have Christmas lights?
831
00:36:01,272 --> 00:36:02,771
Yeah, we sure did.
832
00:36:02,873 --> 00:36:04,917
We used to get
a big dusty box of decorations
833
00:36:04,941 --> 00:36:07,341
down from the attic and
the whole family would pitch in.
834
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,045
Wait.
835
00:36:23,622 --> 00:36:25,122
They look so happy.
836
00:36:25,223 --> 00:36:28,658
Yeah!
Christmas can do that to people.
837
00:36:29,526 --> 00:36:31,437
Why don't we do things
like that?
838
00:36:31,461 --> 00:36:35,429
- Like what?
- Eat dinner? We do.
839
00:36:35,531 --> 00:36:38,331
No. I mean like play
boardgames.
840
00:36:38,433 --> 00:36:41,334
And we hardly ever go
to see a movie together.
841
00:36:42,269 --> 00:36:45,737
Well, you know
how busy father can be.
842
00:36:46,673 --> 00:36:50,041
I think we should do more
things together as a family.
843
00:36:52,444 --> 00:36:54,077
Yeah.
844
00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:57,179
That could be nice.
845
00:37:00,951 --> 00:37:04,618
Time to get you girls
home for dinner. Come on.
846
00:37:13,694 --> 00:37:16,427
Where on earth have you been?
847
00:37:21,399 --> 00:37:22,765
Iris?
848
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:25,968
She's tired. So am I.
849
00:37:29,138 --> 00:37:30,771
What did you do to them?
850
00:37:31,407 --> 00:37:33,785
Nothing. I just took them to the
community centre, like I said.
851
00:37:33,809 --> 00:37:36,009
You never told
me that you were going to the...
852
00:37:36,211 --> 00:37:38,177
Oh, yes.
Maybe you did.
853
00:37:38,279 --> 00:37:39,890
Just now he went
through the neighbourhood
854
00:37:39,914 --> 00:37:41,245
looking at Christmas lights.
855
00:37:41,348 --> 00:37:42,880
I thought they would enjoy it.
856
00:37:42,983 --> 00:37:44,482
Lights wouldn't upset Iris.
857
00:37:44,584 --> 00:37:46,216
She saw one of the families
858
00:37:46,318 --> 00:37:47,796
through their living room
window.
859
00:37:47,820 --> 00:37:49,486
It seemed to make her...
860
00:37:50,054 --> 00:37:51,699
I don't know, wonder about
her own life.
861
00:37:51,723 --> 00:37:52,989
Oh.
862
00:37:54,825 --> 00:37:56,157
Come with me.
863
00:37:57,894 --> 00:38:00,961
Iris is sensitive girl.
864
00:38:01,063 --> 00:38:02,640
And despite. Mr. Church's
efforts,
865
00:38:02,664 --> 00:38:04,675
his the schedule
doesn't often allow him
866
00:38:04,699 --> 00:38:06,444
to create the
kinds of family scenes
867
00:38:06,468 --> 00:38:08,507
that she
apparently saw in that window.
868
00:38:08,569 --> 00:38:10,313
But kids need those moments.
869
00:38:10,337 --> 00:38:12,570
Well, the girls do have
those moments.
870
00:38:12,672 --> 00:38:14,605
Mr. Church
loves his daughters
871
00:38:14,707 --> 00:38:17,440
but he also runs an
international organization.
872
00:38:18,710 --> 00:38:20,209
It's just that,
873
00:38:20,311 --> 00:38:22,422
you know, the girls won't be
young forever.
874
00:38:22,446 --> 00:38:24,412
And every day that slips past
875
00:38:24,514 --> 00:38:26,881
without a meaningful
relationship with their father,
876
00:38:27,217 --> 00:38:29,349
it's a lost opportunity.
877
00:38:30,619 --> 00:38:33,252
Daniel, would you mind if
I went up and talked to her?
878
00:38:33,354 --> 00:38:34,620
Please do.
879
00:38:43,462 --> 00:38:45,661
Mr. Church. Um,
I was just, we were just...
880
00:38:45,764 --> 00:38:48,498
Daniel, it's...
It's okay.
881
00:38:48,999 --> 00:38:50,532
Allie's right.
882
00:38:51,235 --> 00:38:53,501
Kids do need moments like those.
883
00:38:55,238 --> 00:38:57,049
I've been leaving it up to
somebody else
884
00:38:57,073 --> 00:38:59,472
to do something that I should
have been doing myself.
885
00:39:06,179 --> 00:39:07,979
Come in.
886
00:39:13,285 --> 00:39:15,918
Iris, I'm sorry if
I did anything
887
00:39:16,020 --> 00:39:17,386
to make you feel sad.
888
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:19,054
You didn't.
889
00:39:19,356 --> 00:39:20,455
But you were...
890
00:39:20,557 --> 00:39:21,934
I was just being silly.
891
00:39:21,958 --> 00:39:24,291
Iris, no you weren't.
892
00:39:24,727 --> 00:39:26,471
You were just saying
what you were feeling
893
00:39:26,495 --> 00:39:28,472
and there's
nothing silly about that.
894
00:39:28,496 --> 00:39:29,929
Okay.
895
00:39:33,067 --> 00:39:35,866
Right now I feel
like I have a circus tummy.
896
00:39:35,968 --> 00:39:37,802
What does that mean?
897
00:39:37,904 --> 00:39:42,072
I mean when I'm sad my tummy
feels like it's doing flips.
898
00:39:43,874 --> 00:39:47,242
Iris, can you maybe show me some
of the pictures you've drawn?
899
00:39:47,678 --> 00:39:49,710
No, they're silly too.
900
00:40:01,922 --> 00:40:04,089
These are incredible.
901
00:40:04,191 --> 00:40:07,291
Iris, please never stop drawing.
902
00:40:07,593 --> 00:40:10,126
You have a genuine gift.
903
00:40:13,297 --> 00:40:16,932
Are you crying? Do my
pictures make you feel sad?
904
00:40:17,667 --> 00:40:21,102
No. You make me very happy.
905
00:40:22,370 --> 00:40:24,904
Iris, you are an artist.
906
00:40:50,693 --> 00:40:53,726
Oh! Don't touch that!
907
00:40:54,195 --> 00:40:57,963
Iris, this ornament
is worth a fortune.
908
00:40:58,899 --> 00:41:00,938
I was just looking at how pretty
it is.
909
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,234
Look but don't touch.
910
00:41:05,804 --> 00:41:08,770
Wait, where are the
ornaments that we made?
911
00:41:08,873 --> 00:41:11,773
Oh, Iris. They really clashed
with the aesthetic of the tree.
912
00:41:11,876 --> 00:41:13,352
I mean, you don't want to ruin
913
00:41:13,376 --> 00:41:15,810
the organic wholeness of
the decor, right?
914
00:41:16,579 --> 00:41:17,744
Where are they?
915
00:41:17,846 --> 00:41:21,013
Hmm? Where did they go?
916
00:41:21,115 --> 00:41:23,983
Yeah, I don't seem to recall.
917
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,486
You threw them away.
918
00:41:29,156 --> 00:41:31,321
No, I was just...
919
00:41:31,423 --> 00:41:33,290
Iris.
920
00:41:36,561 --> 00:41:38,160
Okay...
921
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:45,466
Hm.
922
00:41:45,568 --> 00:41:47,600
Everything changed
when that woman
923
00:41:47,702 --> 00:41:49,002
walked into our lives, Gordon.
924
00:41:49,104 --> 00:41:50,469
I mean she has filled your house
925
00:41:50,571 --> 00:41:52,315
with cheap decorations and she
926
00:41:52,339 --> 00:41:55,173
has absolutely no
respect for the amount of hours
927
00:41:55,275 --> 00:41:58,209
that I put into decorating
this magnificent tree.
928
00:41:58,311 --> 00:42:00,477
Oh, and worst
of all, worst of all,
929
00:42:00,579 --> 00:42:03,245
she has completely taken over
the affections of the girls.
930
00:42:03,748 --> 00:42:05,492
Kimmee, the Santa squad
thing was your idea.
931
00:42:05,516 --> 00:42:08,183
You didn't want to have anything
to do with decorating the house
932
00:42:08,285 --> 00:42:10,296
or shopping for presents.
You said so yourself.
933
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,986
I was planning our
trip to the the islands.
934
00:42:13,088 --> 00:42:15,922
And the girls respond to her
because she makes the effort.
935
00:42:16,624 --> 00:42:18,269
Well, I painted their
nails once.
936
00:42:18,293 --> 00:42:19,759
Okay.
937
00:42:19,861 --> 00:42:21,237
Kimmee, I have two daughters
938
00:42:21,261 --> 00:42:23,206
and nothing's going to change
that fact
939
00:42:23,230 --> 00:42:25,596
and let's be
honest, spending time with them,
940
00:42:25,698 --> 00:42:27,698
it hasn't been
your highest priority.
941
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:29,866
Is it yours, Gordon?
942
00:42:30,969 --> 00:42:33,402
No. No,
it hasn't been.
943
00:42:33,504 --> 00:42:35,037
Yes.
Exactly.
944
00:42:35,139 --> 00:42:38,239
And that's why I thought
it might be a good idea
945
00:42:38,341 --> 00:42:40,461
to consider boarding school
for the girls.
946
00:42:40,777 --> 00:42:41,975
Boarding what?
947
00:42:42,077 --> 00:42:43,743
Don't get me wrong.
948
00:42:43,845 --> 00:42:46,612
I know the transitions
going to be rough but... but...
949
00:42:46,714 --> 00:42:51,382
I thought I could help you with
the transition by moving in.
950
00:42:55,754 --> 00:42:58,132
So you want my girls to move
out so that you can move in.
951
00:42:58,156 --> 00:43:00,276
Yeah, it sounds like
a win-win, doesn't it?
952
00:43:01,226 --> 00:43:03,992
Actually, no.
It doesn't.
953
00:43:09,765 --> 00:43:12,365
What are...?
Gordon, what are you...?
954
00:43:12,467 --> 00:43:13,933
Gordon.
955
00:43:14,269 --> 00:43:15,601
Gordon?
956
00:43:20,773 --> 00:43:22,907
Why can't she just leave?
957
00:43:23,508 --> 00:43:25,748
We need a Christmas
miracle for that to happen.
958
00:43:28,045 --> 00:43:29,211
Hey, girls.
959
00:43:30,581 --> 00:43:32,313
Uh...
960
00:43:32,415 --> 00:43:34,983
I just wanted to let
you know it kimmee and I...
961
00:43:35,752 --> 00:43:37,284
We've ended our relationship.
962
00:43:37,386 --> 00:43:39,052
Nothing else is going to change.
963
00:43:39,154 --> 00:43:40,686
I'm still here.
964
00:43:40,955 --> 00:43:42,499
Our family's gonna stay together
965
00:43:42,523 --> 00:43:45,023
and Christmas is
gonna go on as planned, okay?
966
00:43:45,926 --> 00:43:48,137
Just let me know if
you have any questions, alright?
967
00:43:48,161 --> 00:43:51,629
Oh. Now tomorrow...
968
00:43:52,198 --> 00:43:53,941
We're gonna go find
another tree.
969
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:55,876
One that we
can decorate ourselves.
970
00:43:55,900 --> 00:43:57,699
- Really?
- Yeah.
971
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:01,036
Make sure to tell Allie.
972
00:44:02,805 --> 00:44:04,138
Good night, you two.
973
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:06,159
Good night, daddy!
974
00:44:06,975 --> 00:44:09,109
- Yes!
- Yes!
975
00:44:09,211 --> 00:44:11,977
Kimmee's gone!
976
00:44:12,179 --> 00:44:13,646
Best Christmas ever.
977
00:44:13,748 --> 00:44:15,446
I know!
978
00:44:16,483 --> 00:44:18,016
We should get a big tree.
979
00:44:18,118 --> 00:44:19,861
We already have a big tree.
980
00:44:19,885 --> 00:44:21,885
Then we should get a bigger
tree.
981
00:44:21,987 --> 00:44:23,864
Well, if it's too
tall, we're going to be making
982
00:44:23,888 --> 00:44:25,766
decorations for
months trying to fill it.
983
00:44:25,790 --> 00:44:28,290
Whoa, that
sounds like a lot of glitter.
984
00:44:28,392 --> 00:44:30,225
Would it be against the rules
985
00:44:30,327 --> 00:44:32,237
if we maybe bought a few
decorations?
986
00:44:32,261 --> 00:44:33,772
Yes!
987
00:44:33,796 --> 00:44:35,728
Okay, okay!
988
00:44:35,830 --> 00:44:38,464
Rose and I are gonna look over
there for Christmas trees.
989
00:44:38,566 --> 00:44:40,176
But there's lots of trees
right here!
990
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,768
But the ones over
there are really nice.
991
00:44:42,870 --> 00:44:44,635
Oh, right! Yes.
992
00:44:44,737 --> 00:44:47,638
Iris and I I will be at the
opposite end of the lot.
993
00:44:48,507 --> 00:44:50,618
Way over there, in
case you were wondering.
994
00:44:52,710 --> 00:44:54,143
Duly noted.
995
00:44:54,945 --> 00:44:57,023
I think my girls are having some
big ideas.
996
00:44:57,047 --> 00:44:58,413
Seems that way.
997
00:44:58,515 --> 00:44:59,715
You know, when I was a kid,
998
00:44:59,816 --> 00:45:01,559
my father used to shake
the trees
999
00:45:01,583 --> 00:45:02,994
and if the pine needles fell off
1000
00:45:03,018 --> 00:45:04,518
that meant that they were old
1001
00:45:04,620 --> 00:45:06,530
and that it was probably going
to dry out.
1002
00:45:06,554 --> 00:45:08,020
So it's almost like a science.
1003
00:45:08,456 --> 00:45:10,922
Give it a good shake.
Work it out.
1004
00:45:11,024 --> 00:45:13,104
You want to
be a savvy consumer, right?
1005
00:45:14,126 --> 00:45:15,726
- Uh, sir?
- Huh?
1006
00:45:15,761 --> 00:45:18,127
Would you mind
not shaking the tree?
1007
00:45:19,931 --> 00:45:23,332
Oh, sorry. Yeah, I was
just seeing if the...
1008
00:45:23,434 --> 00:45:24,766
Yeah, I know.
1009
00:45:24,868 --> 00:45:26,067
It's an old wives' tale
1010
00:45:26,169 --> 00:45:27,446
about the pine needles dropping.
1011
00:45:27,470 --> 00:45:29,081
Trees come pretreated nowadays.
1012
00:45:29,105 --> 00:45:30,937
Oh, really?
1013
00:45:31,039 --> 00:45:33,973
Well, uh, thank you very much.
1014
00:45:34,076 --> 00:45:36,241
As you were, carry on.
1015
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,058
You learn
something new every day.
1016
00:45:42,082 --> 00:45:43,313
Yep.
1017
00:45:45,818 --> 00:45:48,150
I'm about to get
us kicked out of this place.
1018
00:45:48,252 --> 00:45:50,252
They're smiling.
That's a good sign.
1019
00:45:50,355 --> 00:45:52,654
Are you sure they're not
grimacing?
1020
00:45:52,756 --> 00:45:55,223
It's hard to tell the
difference from this far away.
1021
00:45:55,325 --> 00:45:57,825
Who grimaces in a tree lot?
1022
00:45:57,927 --> 00:46:00,960
Good point. They're probably
smiling.
1023
00:46:01,463 --> 00:46:03,096
Allie, I just want to say
1024
00:46:03,198 --> 00:46:04,974
thank you for spending so much
time with the girls.
1025
00:46:04,998 --> 00:46:06,276
I know
it's not in the job description.
1026
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:07,666
Oh, no, I love being with them.
1027
00:46:07,768 --> 00:46:09,734
They're so
interesting and sweet.
1028
00:46:09,836 --> 00:46:11,936
They make the
job a real pleasure.
1029
00:46:12,038 --> 00:46:14,604
I'm not sure if you
heard but kimmee and I, we...
1030
00:46:14,806 --> 00:46:16,539
No longer seeing each other.
1031
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,074
Yes, I heard.
Sorry.
1032
00:46:19,176 --> 00:46:20,676
No, it's fine, really.
1033
00:46:20,778 --> 00:46:22,176
It's been a long time coming.
1034
00:46:22,278 --> 00:46:24,090
We haven't been in
a good place for months.
1035
00:46:24,114 --> 00:46:25,590
I think that
she was a little bit jealous
1036
00:46:25,614 --> 00:46:27,359
of the way that
you and girls hit it off.
1037
00:46:27,383 --> 00:46:29,293
I hope I
didn't cause any problems.
1038
00:46:29,317 --> 00:46:31,061
No, you actually
helped me see a problem
1039
00:46:31,085 --> 00:46:33,125
that was there
from the very beginning.
1040
00:46:35,422 --> 00:46:36,454
Excuse me.
1041
00:46:42,494 --> 00:46:43,893
Good news?
1042
00:46:43,995 --> 00:46:45,506
We closed the deal with
the Japanese.
1043
00:46:45,530 --> 00:46:47,696
They loved that we revised
the presentation
1044
00:46:47,798 --> 00:46:49,598
based on your suggestion.
1045
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:51,365
Thank you, Allie!
1046
00:46:53,636 --> 00:46:55,735
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I, uh...
1047
00:46:56,471 --> 00:46:57,370
I got a little carried away
there.
1048
00:46:57,472 --> 00:46:58,805
Of course, perfectly fine.
1049
00:46:58,906 --> 00:47:00,739
I'm just glad I could help.
1050
00:47:02,009 --> 00:47:03,374
You know, it's funny.
1051
00:47:04,277 --> 00:47:06,589
Sometimes the thing you
need is right in front of you
1052
00:47:06,613 --> 00:47:07,811
but you just can't see it.
1053
00:47:08,547 --> 00:47:10,291
Yeah. And then when
you do see it,
1054
00:47:10,315 --> 00:47:12,648
you can't believe you
didn't realize it all along.
1055
00:47:12,750 --> 00:47:13,916
Yeah.
1056
00:47:15,653 --> 00:47:17,352
We found a tree!
1057
00:47:17,454 --> 00:47:18,920
It's the perfect size!
1058
00:47:19,022 --> 00:47:21,355
And we did that
shaky thing you taught us.
1059
00:47:22,758 --> 00:47:24,290
I hope nobody saw you.
1060
00:47:24,392 --> 00:47:26,137
They might have us arrested.-
1061
00:47:26,161 --> 00:47:28,172
- - Okay, let's go!
- Show us!
1062
00:47:30,431 --> 00:47:34,064
Next up on the master list of
Christmas activities
1063
00:47:34,167 --> 00:47:36,333
is tree decoration.
1064
00:47:36,436 --> 00:47:39,736
I never knew you could
decorate a tree with food.
1065
00:47:39,838 --> 00:47:43,705
Okay, so
you take your needle and thread
1066
00:47:43,808 --> 00:47:46,007
and you stick it...
1067
00:47:46,543 --> 00:47:49,043
In the middle of each
popped kernel like this.
1068
00:47:51,213 --> 00:47:52,746
Wow...
1069
00:47:53,515 --> 00:47:56,782
I'm having trouble getting my
thread through a needle.
1070
00:47:57,652 --> 00:48:00,151
I believe this is
mathematically impossible.
1071
00:48:00,253 --> 00:48:04,154
Actually, if I remembered an
old trick my mother taught me.
1072
00:48:04,590 --> 00:48:06,290
Take the needle
1073
00:48:06,392 --> 00:48:10,892
and rub the needle and thread
back and forth like...
1074
00:48:10,994 --> 00:48:12,093
So.
1075
00:48:12,196 --> 00:48:14,329
Wow!
Yay, daddy!
1076
00:48:14,431 --> 00:48:16,341
Well, came in handy
when I was away at college.
1077
00:48:16,365 --> 00:48:18,165
- Nicely done.
- Thank you.
1078
00:48:18,234 --> 00:48:20,099
Okay, now we see
1079
00:48:20,202 --> 00:48:22,602
who can thread the most amount
of popcorn in one minute.
1080
00:48:22,637 --> 00:48:24,570
Ready?
1081
00:48:25,172 --> 00:48:27,439
Set... go.
1082
00:48:28,741 --> 00:48:29,941
This is dangerous.
1083
00:48:30,043 --> 00:48:31,787
- I'm on one.
- Me, too.
1084
00:48:31,810 --> 00:48:33,143
Not so fast!
1085
00:48:33,245 --> 00:48:35,325
Not by the hair of my
chinny-chin-chin!
1086
00:48:35,380 --> 00:48:37,346
Ah! All right, you!
1087
00:48:37,448 --> 00:48:39,815
Oh, man, am I ever slow at this.
1088
00:48:41,151 --> 00:48:42,550
Okay, stop.
1089
00:48:46,755 --> 00:48:47,821
Oh my god!
1090
00:48:49,157 --> 00:48:50,690
Allie, you win.
1091
00:48:50,792 --> 00:48:55,126
I think we all win, Iris.
And we had fun doing it.
1092
00:48:57,730 --> 00:49:00,364
So who wants to do the honors?
1093
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:02,165
Why don't you?
1094
00:49:02,267 --> 00:49:03,733
Why thank you.
1095
00:49:08,305 --> 00:49:09,771
Wow...
1096
00:49:11,875 --> 00:49:13,675
Wow.
1097
00:49:14,443 --> 00:49:17,711
It's so beautiful,
isn't it, daddy?
1098
00:49:18,146 --> 00:49:19,945
It is, isn't it?
1099
00:49:20,882 --> 00:49:23,248
A competent addition to the yule
ritual.
1100
00:49:23,350 --> 00:49:25,670
Now we just need some presents
to put under the tree.
1101
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,329
They've all been ordered.
1102
00:49:27,353 --> 00:49:29,513
They should be
coming by delivery this week.
1103
00:49:29,588 --> 00:49:32,555
I know but I had something
a little different in mind.
1104
00:49:32,657 --> 00:49:34,323
Really? Like what?
1105
00:49:34,425 --> 00:49:37,559
The next item on the master list
of Christmas activities...
1106
00:49:37,661 --> 00:49:39,294
Shopping for presents!
1107
00:49:39,762 --> 00:49:42,062
But I'm sorry. You're
not allowed to participate.
1108
00:49:42,164 --> 00:49:44,797
- What?
- Girls only, daddy.
1109
00:49:44,900 --> 00:49:46,666
Okay, fine.
1110
00:49:46,768 --> 00:49:49,935
Well, then I will just stay
here and eat popcorn by myself.
1111
00:49:50,638 --> 00:49:52,070
Father's becoming quite silly.
1112
00:49:52,171 --> 00:49:54,505
I know and I love that.
1113
00:49:59,511 --> 00:50:01,343
All right.
1114
00:50:03,247 --> 00:50:05,079
So your mission today
1115
00:50:05,181 --> 00:50:07,460
is to find and buy Christmas
presents for your father.
1116
00:50:07,484 --> 00:50:10,083
We're just going to have to find
him a gift that surprises him.
1117
00:50:10,185 --> 00:50:11,351
Can we do that?
1118
00:50:11,453 --> 00:50:12,564
Yes.
1119
00:50:12,588 --> 00:50:14,227
Okay, let's do it.
1120
00:50:24,030 --> 00:50:26,763
Two dollars for four
photos.
1121
00:50:26,865 --> 00:50:30,465
A nice frame costs $30 plus tax.
1122
00:50:30,568 --> 00:50:32,267
Nice!
1123
00:50:35,905 --> 00:50:37,972
Okay, how about a big smile?
1124
00:50:38,974 --> 00:50:40,919
Come on, Rose, can't you
do better than that?
1125
00:50:40,943 --> 00:50:42,409
Smiling is a zygomatic response
1126
00:50:42,511 --> 00:50:44,777
involving multiple muscle
systems.
1127
00:50:44,879 --> 00:50:47,378
It'll be obvious if
I only pretend to smile.
1128
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,347
Okay. Well, what if I told you
1129
00:50:49,449 --> 00:50:52,215
I failed high school algebra
and biology?
1130
00:50:53,752 --> 00:50:55,718
That's nearly impossible!
1131
00:51:00,223 --> 00:51:02,557
Allie, one picture left.
Come in and join us.
1132
00:51:02,659 --> 00:51:04,992
Oh, no, I shouldn't.
This is your gift.
1133
00:51:05,094 --> 00:51:07,528
I'd like to have one
of the three of us, please?
1134
00:51:07,630 --> 00:51:09,028
Okay.
1135
00:51:20,806 --> 00:51:22,639
Oh my gosh, look at that one!
1136
00:51:22,741 --> 00:51:25,240
Look at you.
1137
00:51:25,343 --> 00:51:27,576
Oh, he's gonna
love this, guys. Look.
1138
00:51:30,313 --> 00:51:38,311
Hey girls look. It's snowing!
1139
00:51:46,425 --> 00:51:50,361
Okay, so you take a
little snowball like this
1140
00:51:50,462 --> 00:51:54,963
and you roll it on the
ground little by little.
1141
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:58,979
I don't want to get my knee
on the slush.
1142
00:51:59,035 --> 00:52:02,269
It's getting so big.
1143
00:52:03,305 --> 00:52:05,665
The heat of the rolling
motion bonds the ice crystals.
1144
00:52:06,341 --> 00:52:08,440
That's so cool.
1145
00:52:10,878 --> 00:52:12,877
I wish daddy could see me.
1146
00:52:14,881 --> 00:52:16,880
I do see you, Iris.
1147
00:52:20,018 --> 00:52:22,652
You didn't think I was gonna
let you make snowmen without me,
1148
00:52:22,754 --> 00:52:23,754
did you?
1149
00:52:24,454 --> 00:52:26,388
Here, give this a roll.
1150
00:52:26,490 --> 00:52:28,567
Okay, thank you very much.
You guys are doing a good job.
1151
00:52:28,591 --> 00:52:30,257
Okay...
1152
00:52:30,359 --> 00:52:32,737
So you think you guys...
We can put this thing together?
1153
00:52:32,761 --> 00:52:34,460
Yeah. I have a head.
1154
00:52:34,562 --> 00:52:36,107
Okay. Yeah, looks like
you got the head.
1155
00:52:36,131 --> 00:52:37,629
I have the body.
1156
00:52:37,731 --> 00:52:39,097
Roll it on over.
1157
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:40,799
It's cold out here.
1158
00:52:41,634 --> 00:52:43,379
Okay.
So there we go.
1159
00:52:43,403 --> 00:52:44,902
Ready.
1160
00:52:45,171 --> 00:52:47,303
Okay. Oh!
1161
00:52:49,573 --> 00:52:51,974
Pack it in there.
Okay, on the count of 3
1162
00:52:52,076 --> 00:52:55,043
let's let this guy
go and see if he stands.
1163
00:52:55,145 --> 00:52:58,311
You ready?
1, 2, 3.
1164
00:52:58,681 --> 00:53:00,180
Ah!
1165
00:53:00,282 --> 00:53:01,982
Needs a little bit more work.
1166
00:53:02,084 --> 00:53:03,794
We're gonna have to work
on that a little bit.
1167
00:53:03,818 --> 00:53:05,818
A little bit more here.
1168
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:23,231
It's a snow family.
1169
00:53:23,332 --> 00:53:25,299
Not quite.
1170
00:53:25,568 --> 00:53:27,001
Who's that?
1171
00:53:28,904 --> 00:53:30,203
It's Allie.
1172
00:53:33,741 --> 00:53:34,773
May I?
1173
00:53:34,875 --> 00:53:36,514
- You may.
- Boop.
1174
00:53:42,815 --> 00:53:44,947
Want this?
Here you go.
1175
00:53:46,784 --> 00:53:50,885
Okay, you guys maybe
help me make it look good here.
1176
00:53:50,987 --> 00:53:53,026
Just straighten this
out a little bit.
1177
00:53:54,824 --> 00:53:56,123
Here we go.
1178
00:53:58,093 --> 00:54:00,560
Does that look like Allie?
Little bit?
1179
00:54:02,162 --> 00:54:04,096
Right. Now
it's a snow family.
1180
00:54:04,198 --> 00:54:06,030
Well, hang on.
1181
00:54:06,132 --> 00:54:09,333
We need snow angels to keep
watch over the snow family.
1182
00:54:18,042 --> 00:54:20,341
Is she having
a medical incident?
1183
00:54:21,444 --> 00:54:24,010
No, silly.
See?
1184
00:54:26,848 --> 00:54:28,514
Snow angels!
1185
00:54:28,983 --> 00:54:30,549
How about you, Gordon?
1186
00:54:31,251 --> 00:54:33,551
Oh, no, this is cashmere.
I got it in London.
1187
00:54:33,653 --> 00:54:34,853
It cost like...
1188
00:54:36,222 --> 00:54:37,254
Oh, no.
1189
00:54:40,258 --> 00:54:41,824
Who cares how much it cost?
1190
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:53,433
You know what would
go great with hot cocoa?
1191
00:54:54,136 --> 00:54:55,847
I'm not sure but I'll
bet it's next
1192
00:54:55,871 --> 00:54:57,814
on the master list of Christmas
activities.
1193
00:54:57,838 --> 00:54:59,998
You are correct
making... Christmas cookies.
1194
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,405
Mm!
1195
00:55:01,508 --> 00:55:03,841
Do you have
cinnamon and sprinkles?
1196
00:55:03,943 --> 00:55:05,982
I'm gonna go out on a limb
and say no.
1197
00:55:06,011 --> 00:55:07,722
Okay. You know what?
That's okay.
1198
00:55:07,746 --> 00:55:09,256
I have everything we need
back at my place.
1199
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:10,958
So I'll just pop on over
and come right back.
1200
00:55:10,982 --> 00:55:12,114
Great.
1201
00:55:14,351 --> 00:55:17,185
Dad, it was so funny
when you made your snow angels.
1202
00:55:17,287 --> 00:55:18,819
Wasn't it so cold?
1203
00:55:18,921 --> 00:55:21,221
My bottom is still frozen.
1204
00:55:21,323 --> 00:55:22,322
Me too.
1205
00:55:24,259 --> 00:55:26,102
- We have a problem.
- Oh, no.
1206
00:55:26,126 --> 00:55:27,459
My car battery died.
1207
00:55:27,561 --> 00:55:29,728
So no cookies?
1208
00:55:29,830 --> 00:55:31,095
Afraid not.
1209
00:55:31,464 --> 00:55:33,964
Wait, dad, you have a car.
1210
00:55:34,066 --> 00:55:36,105
Yeah, but I don't think
that that's...
1211
00:55:36,134 --> 00:55:38,012
Why don't you drive
Allie to her apartment
1212
00:55:38,036 --> 00:55:39,513
and you can pick up the
ingredients.
1213
00:55:39,537 --> 00:55:41,248
And we can start baking in the
morning!
1214
00:55:41,272 --> 00:55:43,015
Oh,
no girls. That's okay.
1215
00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:44,583
I can just call
someone to jump start my car.
1216
00:55:44,607 --> 00:55:46,218
- It'll only
take a few hours.
- Okay.
1217
00:55:46,242 --> 00:55:48,353
Father, the chivalrous thing
would be to offer
1218
00:55:48,377 --> 00:55:49,843
to drive Allie.
1219
00:55:49,945 --> 00:55:52,444
- Oh, Rose...
- We insist.
1220
00:55:52,547 --> 00:55:55,446
In fact, Daniel was just gonna
watch a movie with us.
1221
00:55:55,549 --> 00:55:56,614
I was?
1222
00:55:57,517 --> 00:55:59,350
Oh!
1223
00:55:59,452 --> 00:56:01,663
Oh yes, of course.
"Santa's something or other."
1224
00:56:01,687 --> 00:56:03,220
Ah.
1225
00:56:03,322 --> 00:56:04,899
Why don't you both go have
dinner somewhere?
1226
00:56:04,923 --> 00:56:05,923
Together.
1227
00:56:05,957 --> 00:56:07,635
- Girls.
- We don't mind.
1228
00:56:07,659 --> 00:56:10,292
You're going to get
the ingredients anyway, right?
1229
00:56:10,394 --> 00:56:12,337
Well, I once heard
that you should never
1230
00:56:12,361 --> 00:56:15,462
get ingredients for baking
cookies on an empty stomach.
1231
00:56:15,565 --> 00:56:17,475
Really? I don't think
I've ever heard that one before.
1232
00:56:17,499 --> 00:56:19,599
I think I read it in a medical
magazine.
1233
00:56:19,701 --> 00:56:21,099
Ah.
1234
00:56:21,202 --> 00:56:24,002
Oh. I think we're out-numbered.
1235
00:56:25,038 --> 00:56:27,672
Allie, may I please escort you
to your apartment
1236
00:56:27,774 --> 00:56:30,340
where we can locate many
delicious ingredients?
1237
00:56:30,843 --> 00:56:32,209
And dinner?
1238
00:56:33,578 --> 00:56:35,878
I'll see what I can whip up.
1239
00:56:37,081 --> 00:56:38,560
Yes!
1240
00:56:42,284 --> 00:56:44,462
I had no idea that my
girls could be so conniving.
1241
00:56:44,486 --> 00:56:46,597
Yeah, well, kids
have skills that would put
1242
00:56:46,621 --> 00:56:48,454
carnival con men to shame.
1243
00:56:48,756 --> 00:56:49,967
Well, here's to them.
1244
00:56:49,991 --> 00:56:51,022
To the girls.
1245
00:56:55,361 --> 00:56:58,295
Oh, I'm so sorry. I have no idea
how old that wine is.
1246
00:56:58,397 --> 00:57:00,864
Oh, it's fine,
totally fine. Thank you.
1247
00:57:06,136 --> 00:57:08,236
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
1248
00:57:09,005 --> 00:57:10,916
Actually, you know,
this gives me a chance
1249
00:57:10,940 --> 00:57:13,051
to thank you again for letting
me work with the girls.
1250
00:57:13,075 --> 00:57:15,453
I know that wasn't exactly on
the Santa squad to-do list
1251
00:57:15,477 --> 00:57:16,775
but they're really great.
1252
00:57:16,878 --> 00:57:18,655
I really enjoyed
spending time with them.
1253
00:57:18,679 --> 00:57:20,245
They like being around you too.
1254
00:57:23,817 --> 00:57:25,856
You know, Allie, my wife
has been gone
1255
00:57:25,918 --> 00:57:27,596
for most of the girls' lives.
1256
00:57:27,620 --> 00:57:29,218
She died a long time ago.
1257
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:30,620
I'm so sorry.
1258
00:57:32,190 --> 00:57:35,056
This week I've seen a spark
1259
00:57:35,158 --> 00:57:38,392
in the girls that I have not
seen in a very, very long time.
1260
00:57:38,494 --> 00:57:41,394
Yeah, they're just
getting excited for Christmas.
1261
00:57:41,496 --> 00:57:42,862
That's part of it.
1262
00:57:43,732 --> 00:57:45,664
But mostly it's because of you.
1263
00:57:48,569 --> 00:57:49,667
Gordon...
1264
00:57:50,370 --> 00:57:52,147
Please don't take this
personally,
1265
00:57:52,171 --> 00:57:54,804
but have you put any thought
1266
00:57:54,907 --> 00:57:56,885
into spending
some more time with the girls?
1267
00:57:56,909 --> 00:57:58,674
I mean after Christmas is over?
1268
00:57:58,776 --> 00:58:00,856
Of course, it's
on my mind all the time.
1269
00:58:01,779 --> 00:58:03,444
I think it's on theirs, too.
1270
00:58:03,546 --> 00:58:04,879
Really?
1271
00:58:05,515 --> 00:58:06,980
Did they say something to you?
1272
00:58:07,082 --> 00:58:10,484
Not in so many words,
but I can tell.
1273
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,687
It's just my schedule, you know,
it's impossible.
1274
00:58:15,789 --> 00:58:17,533
But you have the ability to say
yes or no
1275
00:58:17,557 --> 00:58:19,823
to meetings and trips
though, right?
1276
00:58:22,228 --> 00:58:25,962
When I was a kid, my family,
we had nothing.
1277
00:58:26,064 --> 00:58:30,332
When Christmas came around, as a
kid, all I wanted was one bike,
1278
00:58:30,434 --> 00:58:32,177
this... they call them
spider bikes.
1279
00:58:32,201 --> 00:58:34,413
They have these really
long seats that were amazing.
1280
00:58:34,437 --> 00:58:36,303
These high handlebars,
1281
00:58:36,405 --> 00:58:38,783
and every other kid in the
neighborhood had one but not me.
1282
00:58:38,807 --> 00:58:41,073
And I told
myself that when I grew up,
1283
00:58:42,543 --> 00:58:44,742
I'd be able to buy
myself one of those bikes.
1284
00:58:45,745 --> 00:58:48,712
So I set out to create
my business, my company,
1285
00:58:48,814 --> 00:58:53,149
and I worked very, very hard
and eventually I became CEO.
1286
00:58:54,118 --> 00:58:55,751
Did you ever get that bike?
1287
00:58:55,853 --> 00:58:57,452
No, no.
1288
00:58:57,521 --> 00:58:59,654
No, by the time I was successful
1289
00:58:59,756 --> 00:59:01,800
I was too old
to care about it anymore.
1290
00:59:01,824 --> 00:59:03,557
But my point is that
1291
00:59:04,593 --> 00:59:07,026
my girls will never go without.
1292
00:59:07,762 --> 00:59:10,095
And they will know that
I cared enough about them
1293
00:59:10,197 --> 00:59:12,197
to help them
become self-sufficient.
1294
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:14,765
And loved.
1295
00:59:16,135 --> 00:59:17,201
Yes.
1296
00:59:18,104 --> 00:59:19,202
And loved.
1297
00:59:26,977 --> 00:59:28,821
I think the
ingredients are up here
1298
00:59:28,845 --> 00:59:30,178
on the top shelf.
1299
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:31,957
Okay, we should definitely
grab those.
1300
00:59:31,981 --> 00:59:34,181
- Here, I can get it.
- Oh, no, I reach fine.
1301
00:59:35,650 --> 00:59:36,949
Okay. Oh!
1302
00:59:40,153 --> 00:59:41,186
Nice catch.
1303
00:59:41,288 --> 00:59:42,354
Yeah.
1304
00:59:44,156 --> 00:59:47,725
Um, I think my car battery
is probably replaced by now.
1305
00:59:48,793 --> 00:59:51,033
Yeah, we should
probably get back to the house.
1306
00:59:51,563 --> 00:59:53,602
I"ll put these ingredients
in a bag.
1307
00:59:55,733 --> 00:59:57,064
I will meet you downstairs.
1308
01:00:05,706 --> 01:00:07,072
Thank you.
1309
01:00:07,174 --> 01:00:08,785
I'll put the groceries away
1310
01:00:08,809 --> 01:00:10,386
and tomorrow morning.
We can make cookies.
1311
01:00:10,410 --> 01:00:11,876
Okay. Sounds good.
1312
01:00:13,145 --> 01:00:14,344
Good night.
1313
01:00:14,646 --> 01:00:16,346
Good night.
1314
01:00:34,395 --> 01:00:36,862
I'll be heading home, sir.
If there's nothing else.
1315
01:00:36,964 --> 01:00:38,496
No, that's fine Daniel. You have
1316
01:00:38,598 --> 01:00:40,509
you have an early morning
meeting downtown, sir.
1317
01:00:40,533 --> 01:00:41,732
Should I send the car?
1318
01:00:41,834 --> 01:00:43,633
No, no, I'll drive myself.
1319
01:00:44,369 --> 01:00:46,969
Was the dinner productive?
1320
01:00:47,304 --> 01:00:49,872
Yes, we got what we needed.
1321
01:00:50,808 --> 01:00:51,807
I see.
1322
01:00:53,877 --> 01:00:55,209
What's that supposed to mean?
1323
01:00:55,811 --> 01:00:58,051
Well, I've known you for
quite a long time, sir,
1324
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,846
and, well, not to speak out of
turn but it does seem to me
1325
01:01:00,948 --> 01:01:03,249
that she has caught your
attention.
1326
01:01:05,619 --> 01:01:06,718
She has.
1327
01:01:08,687 --> 01:01:10,621
It's nice to see you happy, sir.
1328
01:01:22,698 --> 01:01:26,366
Hey, sailor.
Buy a lady a cup of coffee?
1329
01:01:27,202 --> 01:01:28,868
How do you take it?
1330
01:01:28,970 --> 01:01:29,969
Hot?
1331
01:01:31,539 --> 01:01:33,458
One hot cup of coffee coming up.
1332
01:01:35,208 --> 01:01:36,407
Thanks.
1333
01:01:38,610 --> 01:01:42,545
Say, did you know that in
Taiwan the rhesus monkeys
1334
01:01:42,947 --> 01:01:46,247
get all the sweetest,
best coffee beans
1335
01:01:46,349 --> 01:01:48,950
and they chew them
up and they spit them out?
1336
01:01:49,052 --> 01:01:50,417
Is that right?
1337
01:01:50,519 --> 01:01:51,963
Yeah,
and then the humans come along
1338
01:01:51,987 --> 01:01:53,532
and they gather
up all those seeds
1339
01:01:53,556 --> 01:01:55,499
and they roast them for
maximum flavour.
1340
01:01:55,523 --> 01:01:58,658
Well, that's absolutely
fascinating.
1341
01:01:59,059 --> 01:02:01,393
Tell me more!
1342
01:02:02,930 --> 01:02:05,162
What kind of
monkeys were they again?
1343
01:02:12,002 --> 01:02:15,903
Okay, the successful
creation of Christmas cookies
1344
01:02:16,005 --> 01:02:18,139
is all about timing and
preparation.
1345
01:02:18,241 --> 01:02:19,973
Some common mistakes
1346
01:02:20,075 --> 01:02:22,320
Making your dough but
forgetting to grease your pan
1347
01:02:22,344 --> 01:02:25,311
or icing the cookies
when they're still too warm.
1348
01:02:25,813 --> 01:02:26,879
So.
1349
01:02:41,725 --> 01:02:46,327
Go ahead and mix this up.
1350
01:02:46,429 --> 01:02:47,628
With this?
1351
01:02:47,730 --> 01:02:49,562
No. With your
hands.
1352
01:02:49,664 --> 01:02:51,965
It's important to get the
mixture just right.
1353
01:02:53,968 --> 01:02:57,436
Oh! It feels like
primordial goo!
1354
01:02:57,538 --> 01:02:58,569
Okay, that's good.
1355
01:02:58,671 --> 01:03:00,171
We want to keep rolling it
1356
01:03:00,273 --> 01:03:02,150
until the goo
feels more like glop.
1357
01:03:02,174 --> 01:03:03,073
Glop?
1358
01:03:03,175 --> 01:03:04,541
Then they're ready
1359
01:03:04,643 --> 01:03:06,602
to be dipped
in the cinnamon sugar.
1360
01:03:09,981 --> 01:03:11,980
Rose, you're
making them too big.
1361
01:03:12,082 --> 01:03:14,982
How do you know I'm not making
a gigantic cookie pie?
1362
01:03:15,084 --> 01:03:16,084
Are you?
1363
01:03:16,152 --> 01:03:17,551
No!
1364
01:03:27,027 --> 01:03:29,260
Rose, that is so clever.
1365
01:03:30,229 --> 01:03:32,061
It's a cookie pyramid.
1366
01:03:32,164 --> 01:03:33,730
If my hypothesis is correct
1367
01:03:33,832 --> 01:03:35,951
the weight displacement
of the foundation
1368
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,033
will support at least six
levels.
1369
01:03:38,135 --> 01:03:39,935
That's so cool.
1370
01:03:46,975 --> 01:03:48,341
Whoa...
1371
01:03:48,443 --> 01:03:50,543
It's so big.
1372
01:03:50,645 --> 01:03:53,344
That should just about do it.
1373
01:03:53,713 --> 01:03:55,713
Time to pop that
pyramid in the oven.
1374
01:03:55,782 --> 01:03:58,059
Rose, why don't you do it since
it's your creation?
1375
01:03:58,083 --> 01:03:59,728
Just make sure you get
the oven mitts
1376
01:03:59,752 --> 01:04:01,631
because the shelf will be hot.
1377
01:04:11,427 --> 01:04:14,060
Be careful!
Don't forget the top.
1378
01:04:14,162 --> 01:04:15,361
I will.
1379
01:04:18,165 --> 01:04:21,166
Okay, 15 minutes, and we
will have a cookie pyramid.
1380
01:04:21,268 --> 01:04:22,907
- Okay.
- Come on.
1381
01:04:26,072 --> 01:04:27,649
So what was
your favourite Christmas
1382
01:04:27,673 --> 01:04:29,372
when you were little, Allie?
1383
01:04:29,474 --> 01:04:30,807
Oh my gosh.
1384
01:04:30,908 --> 01:04:32,908
I've always
loved this time of year.
1385
01:04:33,511 --> 01:04:35,350
I guess one of my favorites
1386
01:04:35,412 --> 01:04:38,580
was when I was a little younger
than you.
1387
01:04:38,682 --> 01:04:41,315
I woke up early on Christmas
morning and I crept downstairs
1388
01:04:41,417 --> 01:04:45,451
to find my dad asleep on the
floor snoring like a jet engine.
1389
01:04:51,358 --> 01:04:53,190
He had stayed up all night
1390
01:04:53,292 --> 01:04:55,370
to put together this Victorian
doll house I'd asked for.
1391
01:04:55,394 --> 01:04:57,527
He was all thumbs.
1392
01:04:57,629 --> 01:05:00,263
He couldn't replace a light
bulb without hurting himself.
1393
01:05:00,531 --> 01:05:02,331
But it didn't matter.
1394
01:05:02,433 --> 01:05:04,211
Somehow he built this Dollhouse
1395
01:05:04,235 --> 01:05:06,534
and it... oh, it was so
beautiful.
1396
01:05:06,636 --> 01:05:07,969
Every little detail.
1397
01:05:09,738 --> 01:05:11,171
What's that?!
1398
01:05:13,708 --> 01:05:14,840
Fire!
1399
01:05:22,047 --> 01:05:24,815
Now, here's your culprit.
1400
01:05:25,317 --> 01:05:27,717
Somebody forgot to
take the oven mitt out.
1401
01:05:29,621 --> 01:05:31,786
I'm positive I didn't
leave that in there.
1402
01:05:31,888 --> 01:05:33,121
Girls?
1403
01:05:33,957 --> 01:05:35,489
Oh, you're okay.
1404
01:05:35,591 --> 01:05:36,991
Come here.
1405
01:05:38,727 --> 01:05:41,060
Dad, you're squeezing me.
1406
01:05:42,997 --> 01:05:44,363
Gordon, I... I...
1407
01:05:44,465 --> 01:05:45,964
There's mostly smoke damage.
1408
01:05:46,066 --> 01:05:47,676
But if that fire has gotten
any larger,
1409
01:05:47,700 --> 01:05:49,233
the gas line would have caught
1410
01:05:49,335 --> 01:05:51,512
and then we'd have had a really
serious problem.
1411
01:05:51,536 --> 01:05:53,014
I don't know how this happened.
1412
01:05:53,038 --> 01:05:54,504
Allie, how could you?
1413
01:05:54,606 --> 01:05:56,049
Did you
even stop to think how dangerous
1414
01:05:56,073 --> 01:05:57,184
a fire could be to my girls?
1415
01:05:57,208 --> 01:05:58,674
How could you be so careless?
1416
01:05:58,776 --> 01:06:00,353
You could have burned down
the whole house.
1417
01:06:00,377 --> 01:06:01,476
But I...
1418
01:06:01,578 --> 01:06:03,338
Look, I'm sorry.
1419
01:06:03,812 --> 01:06:05,579
This is unacceptable.
1420
01:06:08,283 --> 01:06:09,448
You're done here.
1421
01:06:09,717 --> 01:06:10,616
What?
1422
01:06:10,718 --> 01:06:11,984
Dad? No!
1423
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,020
They're all I have, Allie.
1424
01:06:27,131 --> 01:06:29,263
Hey, it's okay. Come here.
1425
01:06:39,507 --> 01:06:42,440
Hi! Guess...
Guess who might be
1426
01:06:42,542 --> 01:06:45,643
possibly having a potential
date, maybe?
1427
01:06:47,746 --> 01:06:51,180
Well, don't get yourself too
excited. You might pass out.
1428
01:06:51,282 --> 01:06:54,250
I'm sorry, Connie.
I'm just... I'm in a mood.
1429
01:06:54,352 --> 01:06:55,750
Did you get bad news?
1430
01:06:55,852 --> 01:06:56,863
You could say that.
1431
01:06:56,887 --> 01:06:58,420
I'm sorry.
1432
01:06:58,522 --> 01:07:00,599
Here I am running off at my
mouth about myself
1433
01:07:00,623 --> 01:07:02,156
and you're suffering.
1434
01:07:02,525 --> 01:07:04,564
Would you like
to talk about it or...?
1435
01:07:10,731 --> 01:07:12,263
There you are.
1436
01:07:13,666 --> 01:07:15,610
I was wondering if you
want to go catch a movie.
1437
01:07:15,634 --> 01:07:16,766
No, thank you.
1438
01:07:16,868 --> 01:07:18,068
I'm busy.
1439
01:07:18,170 --> 01:07:19,835
Really?
1440
01:07:19,937 --> 01:07:22,215
Because I think they're playing
that funny Christmas one.
1441
01:07:22,239 --> 01:07:24,672
The one with the
snowman who comes to life.
1442
01:07:24,908 --> 01:07:27,075
I have to finish my drawing.
1443
01:07:27,177 --> 01:07:29,409
Okay, um...
1444
01:07:30,512 --> 01:07:33,012
You want to string some
more popcorn for the tree?
1445
01:07:33,114 --> 01:07:36,082
I'm tired. I'm gonna
turn in early tonight.
1446
01:07:36,651 --> 01:07:40,285
And I'm also tired, gonna
turn in early for the night.
1447
01:07:41,020 --> 01:07:42,219
Okay.
1448
01:07:45,223 --> 01:07:48,458
Look, this can be
a rough time of year.
1449
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,425
I'll say.
1450
01:07:51,562 --> 01:07:54,006
Say, do you want to hit the
town, just us two single ladies?
1451
01:07:54,030 --> 01:07:56,530
I do a mean chacha.
1452
01:07:56,632 --> 01:07:58,798
Oh, I don't feel like dancing.
1453
01:07:58,900 --> 01:08:00,734
I hardly feel like walking.
1454
01:08:00,836 --> 01:08:02,968
You really are low, aren't you?
1455
01:08:04,038 --> 01:08:05,982
I'm just feeling sorry
for myself.
1456
01:08:06,006 --> 01:08:07,717
Because you care about someone
1457
01:08:07,741 --> 01:08:09,885
you're afraid
they don't feel the same way?
1458
01:08:09,909 --> 01:08:13,777
No, they do... he does.
I think.
1459
01:08:13,879 --> 01:08:17,313
Really? Then why are
you here instead of there?
1460
01:08:17,415 --> 01:08:19,414
Ugh. It's complicated.
1461
01:08:19,516 --> 01:08:21,728
You know, people get their
heart set on something
1462
01:08:21,752 --> 01:08:23,791
and they
hang on to it with both hands,
1463
01:08:23,886 --> 01:08:26,353
even if they know it
just might not come true
1464
01:08:26,455 --> 01:08:29,188
because it gives
them a feeling of hope.
1465
01:08:31,559 --> 01:08:34,393
So I should let go of my dreams?
1466
01:08:34,495 --> 01:08:37,395
No, no, no, not at all.
Hang on to your dreams.
1467
01:08:37,497 --> 01:08:40,964
I mean hopes and
dreams and wishes are the...
1468
01:08:42,067 --> 01:08:45,300
The ingredients you need to
still have faith in something.
1469
01:08:47,905 --> 01:08:50,805
But what if people don't
have the same faith you do?
1470
01:08:51,508 --> 01:08:54,641
Well, miracles have been known
to happen this time of year.
1471
01:08:57,211 --> 01:08:59,523
Anyway, do you want to stick
around for the caroling?
1472
01:08:59,547 --> 01:09:01,624
Tony's dressing up as Santa.
I can't wait to see him.
1473
01:09:02,682 --> 01:09:04,015
Oh, thank you,
1474
01:09:04,117 --> 01:09:05,361
but I have
to get back to the house
1475
01:09:05,385 --> 01:09:06,683
to pick up my last paycheck.
1476
01:09:06,786 --> 01:09:07,851
Okay.
1477
01:09:07,953 --> 01:09:09,319
Hang in there, Allie.
1478
01:09:09,422 --> 01:09:11,432
You'll figure it out, honey.
You will.
1479
01:09:11,456 --> 01:09:13,589
- Thank you.
- Okay.
1480
01:09:20,096 --> 01:09:24,097
I miss Allie, it isn't fair that we don't get to see her.
1481
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,576
Grown-ups can make as
many rules as they want
1482
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,734
and kids have to follow them.
1483
01:09:29,603 --> 01:09:31,680
When I grow up, I'm never going
to tell my kids
1484
01:09:31,704 --> 01:09:33,838
that they can't see anyone
they love.
1485
01:09:33,940 --> 01:09:35,617
Everybody
thinks when they grow up
1486
01:09:35,641 --> 01:09:37,619
they remember what it's like
to be young.
1487
01:09:37,643 --> 01:09:39,675
But they never do.
1488
01:09:40,711 --> 01:09:42,878
Just because Allie
made one mistake
1489
01:09:42,980 --> 01:09:45,146
doesn't mean that we get
punishment.
1490
01:09:47,384 --> 01:09:50,417
I think I'm the one who
left the oven mitt in the oven.
1491
01:09:50,519 --> 01:09:52,218
Really?
1492
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,655
Yes. I've thought
about it a hundred times and...
1493
01:09:56,557 --> 01:09:58,597
I'm pretty sure
that was my oven mitt.
1494
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,892
I should say
something to father.
1495
01:10:02,328 --> 01:10:04,528
Okay, let's go and tell
daddy now.
1496
01:10:12,570 --> 01:10:13,968
Father?
1497
01:10:14,070 --> 01:10:15,670
What is it, girls?
1498
01:10:16,539 --> 01:10:18,772
We have something to tell you.
1499
01:10:31,717 --> 01:10:33,050
Allie!
1500
01:10:33,652 --> 01:10:35,184
Allie.
1501
01:10:35,286 --> 01:10:37,164
Allie, you coming here,
it won't change...
1502
01:10:37,188 --> 01:10:38,620
I know, I know, I know.
1503
01:10:38,722 --> 01:10:40,856
I was just coming
to get my paycheck.
1504
01:10:40,958 --> 01:10:43,424
I see. Well, if you
don't mind waiting here,
1505
01:10:43,526 --> 01:10:44,566
I'll go and get it.
1506
01:10:44,627 --> 01:10:45,759
Daniel.
1507
01:10:46,395 --> 01:10:47,827
How are the girls?
1508
01:10:48,296 --> 01:10:49,774
Well, of course they're both sad
1509
01:10:49,798 --> 01:10:51,864
over this recent turn of events.
1510
01:10:52,533 --> 01:10:54,766
And Gordon?
1511
01:10:55,835 --> 01:10:58,280
Well, I don't usually talk about
my employer behind his back.
1512
01:10:58,304 --> 01:11:00,637
But in my opinion, Mr. Church is
not entirely pleased
1513
01:11:00,739 --> 01:11:02,906
with the way
things have turned out.
1514
01:11:03,008 --> 01:11:05,674
I know. I feel
terrible about the fire.
1515
01:11:05,776 --> 01:11:08,910
I completely understand
why he reacted the way he did.
1516
01:11:09,279 --> 01:11:10,812
Would you just let him know
1517
01:11:10,914 --> 01:11:13,680
I would never
do anything to harm those girls.
1518
01:11:13,782 --> 01:11:15,360
I'm so sorry that something
happened
1519
01:11:15,384 --> 01:11:16,916
while they were in my care.
1520
01:11:17,018 --> 01:11:19,151
I'm sure he knows all of that.
1521
01:11:19,254 --> 01:11:21,419
But I will let him know anyway.
1522
01:11:33,098 --> 01:11:35,342
Thank you for telling me that,
girls.
1523
01:11:35,366 --> 01:11:37,077
I think you should talk to her.
1524
01:11:37,101 --> 01:11:39,311
Sometimes you need to think
about the bigger picture
1525
01:11:39,335 --> 01:11:41,569
not just
the things that you want.
1526
01:11:41,671 --> 01:11:44,170
But this thing
makes all of us happy.
1527
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:45,705
Yeah.
1528
01:11:50,610 --> 01:11:53,311
Oh. Good evening, sir.
1529
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,046
Daniel. You going somewhere?
1530
01:11:56,148 --> 01:11:59,682
Uh, just out for a...
Breath of fresh air.
1531
01:11:59,784 --> 01:12:01,017
Ah.
1532
01:12:01,119 --> 01:12:02,785
But it's freezing outside.
1533
01:12:02,886 --> 01:12:04,853
And you don't
even have a coat on.
1534
01:12:04,955 --> 01:12:06,788
Well, you know me.
1535
01:12:07,823 --> 01:12:10,157
Like a polar bear.
1536
01:12:11,260 --> 01:12:13,526
You're, um... you're
going outside.
1537
01:12:13,628 --> 01:12:14,494
Yes.
1538
01:12:14,596 --> 01:12:15,761
Hmm.
1539
01:12:17,531 --> 01:12:18,697
Yes, I am.
1540
01:12:21,401 --> 01:12:22,600
Allie?
1541
01:12:23,036 --> 01:12:25,068
- Allie!
- Girls...
1542
01:12:26,538 --> 01:12:28,018
Ah.
1543
01:12:31,509 --> 01:12:33,041
Hi.
1544
01:12:33,143 --> 01:12:34,943
We knew you'd come back.
1545
01:12:35,045 --> 01:12:36,578
Oh, I'm not back.
1546
01:12:36,679 --> 01:12:38,799
I'm just here to pick up my
last paycheck.
1547
01:12:39,214 --> 01:12:41,047
But we miss you.
1548
01:12:41,149 --> 01:12:43,683
I'm so sorry.
I just came to get my check.
1549
01:12:43,785 --> 01:12:45,584
I didn't want to disturb you.
1550
01:12:45,686 --> 01:12:48,286
You're not disturbing us, Allie.
We want you to come back.
1551
01:12:48,388 --> 01:12:51,099
I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't
come back.
1552
01:12:51,123 --> 01:12:53,068
I know it's complicated but
I have to go now.
1553
01:12:54,426 --> 01:12:55,858
That's not true.
1554
01:12:55,961 --> 01:12:57,104
Yes, it is, Rose.
1555
01:12:57,128 --> 01:12:58,727
And I...
1556
01:12:59,863 --> 01:13:00,896
Oh, no.
1557
01:13:00,998 --> 01:13:02,496
What's the matter?
1558
01:13:02,599 --> 01:13:04,999
Oh, my friend
bill is in the hospital.
1559
01:13:13,741 --> 01:13:15,873
That's the old man I sat with.
1560
01:13:15,976 --> 01:13:17,609
He's my friend too!
1561
01:13:17,711 --> 01:13:19,610
Girls, we can't just go barging
1562
01:13:19,712 --> 01:13:22,212
into an emergency scenario with
someone we barely know.
1563
01:13:23,015 --> 01:13:24,714
He's over 80 years old.
1564
01:13:24,816 --> 01:13:27,149
He served in a cruiser
in the war.
1565
01:13:27,584 --> 01:13:29,951
Then he drove a bus for
30 years.
1566
01:13:40,928 --> 01:13:43,228
Okay, come on.
Let's go get our coats.
1567
01:13:51,536 --> 01:13:53,869
Excuse me. I'm here to see
bill McCulloch.
1568
01:13:53,971 --> 01:13:55,771
Allie! Thanks for
coming.
1569
01:13:55,873 --> 01:13:57,372
How is he?
1570
01:13:57,474 --> 01:13:59,185
When I found him he
was just lying there.
1571
01:13:59,209 --> 01:14:00,329
I couldn't wake him up.
1572
01:14:00,410 --> 01:14:01,575
They think it's his heart.
1573
01:14:01,677 --> 01:14:03,197
Allie!
1574
01:14:06,014 --> 01:14:07,213
They insisted.
1575
01:14:07,315 --> 01:14:08,959
Is he gonna be okay?
1576
01:14:08,983 --> 01:14:10,882
We don't know yet, honey.
1577
01:14:12,953 --> 01:14:14,084
It's okay.
1578
01:14:18,256 --> 01:14:19,889
I'm so dumb.
1579
01:14:19,991 --> 01:14:22,269
I just sat there and made
eyes at him all that time.
1580
01:14:22,292 --> 01:14:25,293
And I should have just gone up
to him and told him how I felt.
1581
01:14:26,263 --> 01:14:28,040
Well, sometimes telling
someone how you feel
1582
01:14:28,064 --> 01:14:30,297
is the hardest thing to do.
1583
01:14:34,836 --> 01:14:36,835
And now it might be too late.
1584
01:14:36,937 --> 01:14:38,437
Hey, don't say that.
1585
01:14:38,539 --> 01:14:40,038
Bill's a strong guy.
1586
01:14:40,140 --> 01:14:42,300
He's not gonna let anything
knock him down.
1587
01:14:43,243 --> 01:14:45,362
Oh, Gordon, you should
take the girls home.
1588
01:14:45,444 --> 01:14:47,144
It's officially Christmas Eve.
1589
01:14:47,246 --> 01:14:49,278
I tried.
I didn't get anywhere.
1590
01:14:49,881 --> 01:14:52,113
I'm not going anywhere
until I know he's okay.
1591
01:14:52,215 --> 01:14:54,315
Rose, that could take days.
1592
01:14:54,418 --> 01:14:56,617
I'm young. I have time.
1593
01:15:02,357 --> 01:15:03,556
Allie.
1594
01:15:03,658 --> 01:15:04,890
About yesterday...
1595
01:15:04,992 --> 01:15:07,626
Excuse me, that's my cue.
1596
01:15:08,228 --> 01:15:09,694
You don't have to say anything.
1597
01:15:09,796 --> 01:15:13,229
Yes, I do. I...
I overreacted and I feel...
1598
01:15:13,632 --> 01:15:15,131
Terrible about it.
1599
01:15:15,233 --> 01:15:16,944
You're right, though.
They're your girls.
1600
01:15:16,968 --> 01:15:18,245
They mean everything to you.
1601
01:15:18,269 --> 01:15:19,802
You mean a lot to me, too.
1602
01:15:24,574 --> 01:15:28,075
I know this is not the
right time or place, obviously.
1603
01:15:30,678 --> 01:15:32,638
But you've come to mean
more to me
1604
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:36,047
than just someone to decorate
the house, to wrap presents.
1605
01:15:38,718 --> 01:15:41,819
You've brought
light into our lives, Allie.
1606
01:15:43,088 --> 01:15:44,654
I don't know what to say.
1607
01:15:46,990 --> 01:15:49,624
You've shown me things
that are right in front of me.
1608
01:15:50,794 --> 01:15:53,861
Things that I haven't paid
enough attention to until now.
1609
01:15:56,298 --> 01:15:57,564
Like that.
1610
01:16:13,077 --> 01:16:17,278
Iris... I didn't know
you could draw like that.
1611
01:16:18,515 --> 01:16:21,548
I thought if I told you
you wouldn't love me anymore.
1612
01:16:22,852 --> 01:16:24,851
No, this is amazing.
1613
01:16:27,155 --> 01:16:28,187
Hey.
1614
01:16:28,289 --> 01:16:30,122
What's wrong?
1615
01:16:30,891 --> 01:16:33,824
I lied about being
able to play the flute.
1616
01:16:35,261 --> 01:16:36,927
Well, that's okay.
1617
01:16:38,964 --> 01:16:40,463
It's okay.
1618
01:16:45,703 --> 01:16:47,168
It's okay.
1619
01:16:56,344 --> 01:16:57,543
Hello?
1620
01:16:59,446 --> 01:17:00,823
Good morning.
1621
01:17:00,847 --> 01:17:02,514
Is he okay?
1622
01:17:02,616 --> 01:17:04,248
Are you family?
1623
01:17:05,518 --> 01:17:07,583
Yes, yeah.
Yes, we are.
1624
01:17:11,755 --> 01:17:13,199
There's my little encyclopedia.
1625
01:17:13,223 --> 01:17:14,756
You're okay!
1626
01:17:14,858 --> 01:17:17,291
Yeah, just a little mix-up
with my meds.
1627
01:17:17,393 --> 01:17:19,171
I have to remember to keep
my cheaters on
1628
01:17:19,195 --> 01:17:21,105
when I'm looking at
those bottles.
1629
01:17:21,129 --> 01:17:24,096
Bill, I was so worried
about you.
1630
01:17:24,198 --> 01:17:26,078
Don't ever do that to me again.
1631
01:17:26,133 --> 01:17:27,844
The girls
insisted we stay the night.
1632
01:17:27,868 --> 01:17:29,734
Really?
1633
01:17:29,836 --> 01:17:32,214
Oh, that's about the nicest
Christmas present I ever got
1634
01:17:32,238 --> 01:17:34,070
aside from you.
1635
01:17:34,973 --> 01:17:36,750
Bill, the nurses said they
were discharging you today.
1636
01:17:36,774 --> 01:17:39,175
I was wondering if you and...
1637
01:17:39,811 --> 01:17:41,721
Well, everyone care to join
us at our house tomorrow
1638
01:17:41,745 --> 01:17:43,077
for Christmas dinner.
1639
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,199
Oh, I'll have to think
about that for a minute... yes.
1640
01:17:50,752 --> 01:17:52,272
Yes!
1641
01:17:58,624 --> 01:17:59,902
Thank you.
1642
01:17:59,926 --> 01:18:01,991
Okay, whoa, whoa.
Say that again.
1643
01:18:02,828 --> 01:18:05,094
Houseflies buzz in the key of f.
1644
01:18:05,197 --> 01:18:06,807
Some sharks glow in the dark.
1645
01:18:06,831 --> 01:18:08,475
Bats turn left when they
leave a cave.
1646
01:18:08,499 --> 01:18:10,598
Butterflies
taste with their feet.
1647
01:18:10,700 --> 01:18:12,400
She's pretty amazing, isn't she?
1648
01:18:12,502 --> 01:18:13,968
Yeah, you can say that again.
1649
01:18:14,070 --> 01:18:15,869
So are you connected to Wi-Fi?
1650
01:18:15,971 --> 01:18:16,971
No!
1651
01:18:17,005 --> 01:18:18,505
She might be a Google.
1652
01:18:18,607 --> 01:18:20,272
I gotta get a library card.
1653
01:18:23,577 --> 01:18:26,044
Ho, ho, ho!
1654
01:18:26,146 --> 01:18:27,811
Merry Christmas!
1655
01:18:29,381 --> 01:18:31,114
Ho!
1656
01:18:32,917 --> 01:18:34,328
Thank you for the suit,
by the way.
1657
01:18:34,352 --> 01:18:35,817
Hey, no problem.
1658
01:18:36,453 --> 01:18:38,920
I have got some
presents for you guys.
1659
01:18:39,022 --> 01:18:40,955
This is for you.
1660
01:18:43,593 --> 01:18:45,469
- And that's for you.
- Thank you!
1661
01:18:45,493 --> 01:18:46,960
Come here.
1662
01:18:47,062 --> 01:18:48,328
Oh!
1663
01:18:50,464 --> 01:18:53,130
And I have heard that
everybody in this room
1664
01:18:53,233 --> 01:18:54,866
has been very good this year.
1665
01:18:54,968 --> 01:18:57,667
So... everybody gets a present.
1666
01:18:58,170 --> 01:19:01,136
Bill, I believe that this...
1667
01:19:01,239 --> 01:19:03,116
Is the cruiser
that you sailed on.
1668
01:19:03,140 --> 01:19:04,974
Oh, my goodness.
1669
01:19:08,345 --> 01:19:10,477
The s.S. Mattigans?
1670
01:19:10,579 --> 01:19:12,339
- It's my cruiser.
- Oh!
1671
01:19:13,182 --> 01:19:14,592
Look at that!
1672
01:19:14,616 --> 01:19:16,182
Oh...
1673
01:19:16,718 --> 01:19:17,750
Thank you.
1674
01:19:17,852 --> 01:19:19,351
You're very welcome.
1675
01:19:19,653 --> 01:19:21,753
And, Connie, from what
Allie has told me
1676
01:19:21,855 --> 01:19:24,355
you love life and you
like trying new things.
1677
01:19:24,457 --> 01:19:26,223
So this is for you.
1678
01:19:26,325 --> 01:19:28,135
- Thank you!
- You're welcome.
1679
01:19:28,159 --> 01:19:30,371
- What is this now?
- Oh, my goodness.
1680
01:19:30,395 --> 01:19:32,561
Cha-cha lessons for two!
1681
01:19:35,965 --> 01:19:37,698
Oh! It's gonna be fun!
1682
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:38,800
Thank you.
1683
01:19:38,902 --> 01:19:40,433
You're welcome.
1684
01:19:40,535 --> 01:19:41,735
Tony.
1685
01:19:42,304 --> 01:19:43,714
I understand
the community centre
1686
01:19:43,738 --> 01:19:45,618
is always in need of funding.
1687
01:19:46,007 --> 01:19:48,006
So I've
got my company to sponsor
1688
01:19:48,108 --> 01:19:50,308
the arts program
for the coming year.
1689
01:19:51,177 --> 01:19:53,543
Supplies, museum trips,
everything.
1690
01:19:54,546 --> 01:19:56,045
Gordon, that's...
1691
01:19:56,147 --> 01:19:58,781
That's really
generous. Wow, thank you.
1692
01:19:58,883 --> 01:20:00,660
I don't believe it. Thanks.
1693
01:20:03,220 --> 01:20:04,319
Daniel.
1694
01:20:05,187 --> 01:20:07,588
You are the best right-hand
man ever.
1695
01:20:08,424 --> 01:20:10,356
You've helped
me more than I can say
1696
01:20:10,458 --> 01:20:12,892
and certainly more
than I thank you for. So...
1697
01:20:15,796 --> 01:20:18,396
Three weeks, all expenses paid
1698
01:20:18,498 --> 01:20:19,830
luxury resort in...
1699
01:20:19,933 --> 01:20:21,165
Tahiti?
1700
01:20:21,267 --> 01:20:22,999
Oh, you want to go to Tahiti?
1701
01:20:23,735 --> 01:20:25,575
- Yes, Tahiti!
- Oh!
1702
01:20:25,770 --> 01:20:27,603
Oh, the soothing silence!
1703
01:20:27,705 --> 01:20:30,038
Oh, the calming
caress of the trade winds.
1704
01:20:30,440 --> 01:20:31,906
Thank you, sir.
1705
01:20:32,008 --> 01:20:33,441
You're welcome.
1706
01:20:33,643 --> 01:20:35,475
Now, girls, um...
1707
01:20:35,978 --> 01:20:38,218
I'm going to take a
leave of absence from work.
1708
01:20:39,747 --> 01:20:41,314
For the next few months
1709
01:20:41,416 --> 01:20:43,259
we're going to get to know
each other again.
1710
01:20:43,283 --> 01:20:44,950
We're gonna...
1711
01:20:45,052 --> 01:20:48,485
Bake cookies,
watch movies, build snowmen.
1712
01:20:48,587 --> 01:20:51,854
But most importantly we're gonna
spend time together because...
1713
01:20:52,757 --> 01:20:54,457
I don't want you two growing up
1714
01:20:54,559 --> 01:20:56,725
not knowing
how much I love you both.
1715
01:20:56,827 --> 01:20:57,926
Okay?
1716
01:20:58,595 --> 01:21:00,227
Come here.
1717
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:07,800
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
1718
01:21:11,539 --> 01:21:13,771
I'm so happy you could be here.
1719
01:21:13,873 --> 01:21:15,673
Well, I had to.
1720
01:21:16,608 --> 01:21:18,108
To give you this.
1721
01:21:27,084 --> 01:21:28,817
Spider bicycle.
1722
01:21:28,919 --> 01:21:31,752
Yeah, sorry. It's not the same
size as the real one.
1723
01:21:33,655 --> 01:21:35,188
I don't know what to say.
1724
01:21:35,290 --> 01:21:37,234
The acceptable social
response ritual
1725
01:21:37,258 --> 01:21:39,057
would be to say thank you.
1726
01:21:39,159 --> 01:21:42,093
You're right, Rose.
Thank you.
1727
01:21:44,464 --> 01:21:46,463
Got a little
something for you, too.
1728
01:21:47,065 --> 01:21:50,099
Somewhere at the...
Bottom of the bag here.
1729
01:22:00,109 --> 01:22:01,575
It's beautiful.
1730
01:22:23,427 --> 01:22:24,959
Now it's beautiful.
1731
01:22:26,763 --> 01:22:28,528
I believe
1732
01:22:28,630 --> 01:22:30,808
there's one last master list
Christmas activity
1733
01:22:30,832 --> 01:22:32,332
that has to happen.
1734
01:22:32,433 --> 01:22:34,666
Which one?
I thought we did everything.
1735
01:22:35,970 --> 01:22:38,169
Kissing under the mistletoe!
1736
01:22:38,271 --> 01:22:39,782
Oh, my...
1737
01:22:42,207 --> 01:22:43,306
Hmm.
1738
01:22:46,277 --> 01:22:47,943
So does this mean
1739
01:22:48,046 --> 01:22:50,285
you'll let the Santa squad come
back next year?
1740
01:22:50,714 --> 01:22:53,214
Maybe we can just
make it simpler and...
1741
01:22:54,617 --> 01:22:56,537
You can just
stay all year round.
1742
01:23:12,697 --> 01:23:14,696
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
1743
01:23:16,700 --> 01:23:17,978
- Merry Christmas!
- Woo!
1743
01:23:18,305 --> 01:24:18,701
