1
00:00:01,740 --> 00:00:03,003
? Dashing through the snow ?
2
00:00:03,090 --> 00:00:04,656
? Yeah, wee ?
3
00:00:04,787 --> 00:00:06,702
? In a one-horse open sleigh ?
4
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:09,835
? Ha ?
5
00:00:09,922 --> 00:00:12,360
? O'er fields we go ?
6
00:00:13,622 --> 00:00:16,320
? Laughing all the way ?
7
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,891
? Bells on bobtails ring, yeah ?
8
00:00:23,632 --> 00:00:25,851
? Making spirits bright ?
9
00:00:28,289 --> 00:00:32,032
? What fun it is
to ride and sing ?
10
00:00:32,162 --> 00:00:35,774
? A sleighing song tonight ?
11
00:00:35,905 --> 00:00:38,516
? Oh, I said Jingle Bells ?
12
00:00:38,603 --> 00:00:40,431
Mommy Amber,
13
00:00:40,562 --> 00:00:42,433
this Christmas is gonna be
the greatest!
14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,261
My mom always said,
15
00:00:44,392 --> 00:00:46,350
a great tree and great music
makes the season.
16
00:00:46,481 --> 00:00:49,962
? Oh, what fun it is to ride ?
17
00:00:50,093 --> 00:00:51,573
Hang that bit over there, yeah?
18
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:53,923
The tree looks beautiful!
19
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:55,577
You know it, Girl.
20
00:00:55,664 --> 00:00:57,796
Hmm! Ahem.
21
00:00:57,927 --> 00:00:59,276
? Jingle Bells ?
22
00:01:02,845 --> 00:01:04,412
Can you believe I've had this
23
00:01:04,542 --> 00:01:06,501
ever since I was your age?
24
00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:08,329
Yes!
25
00:01:08,416 --> 00:01:10,418
I used to cover
our tree with it,
26
00:01:10,505 --> 00:01:12,420
but this is all that's left.
27
00:01:14,813 --> 00:01:17,077
No matter how many
new decorations I get,
28
00:01:17,164 --> 00:01:19,688
I always leave room for
29
00:01:19,775 --> 00:01:22,082
a little piece of tradition.
30
00:01:23,257 --> 00:01:24,954
What's tradition?
31
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:29,437
Something you carry with you
your whole life
32
00:01:29,567 --> 00:01:31,569
because it has special
meaning to you.
33
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,397
Is all of this tradition?
34
00:01:33,528 --> 00:01:35,182
Oh, yes.
35
00:01:35,312 --> 00:01:37,053
Uh, decorating the tree,
36
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:39,447
uh, hot chocolate...
37
00:01:39,577 --> 00:01:42,189
Listening to the Motown
Christmas album?
38
00:01:42,276 --> 00:01:45,105
Oh, on a very old
record player I got
39
00:01:45,235 --> 00:01:47,933
a hundred Christmases ago.
40
00:01:48,064 --> 00:01:49,935
You know, when I was
a little girl,
41
00:01:50,066 --> 00:01:52,634
we used to decorate the tree,
42
00:01:54,375 --> 00:01:56,116
snuggle up by the fire.
43
00:01:56,203 --> 00:01:57,639
My dad, he'd fall asleep,
44
00:01:58,857 --> 00:02:00,772
and my mom and I,
45
00:02:00,859 --> 00:02:02,905
we'd watch
"Miracle on 34th Street."
46
00:02:04,689 --> 00:02:06,822
That was our favorite.
47
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:08,867
Are we gonna watch it tonight?!
48
00:02:08,954 --> 00:02:11,131
Hmmm. It's tradition!
49
00:02:12,393 --> 00:02:14,873
Okay, smarty!
50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,789
Yay! High five! Yes!
51
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:24,187
Thank you, God, for Mommy Amber
52
00:02:24,318 --> 00:02:25,928
and for letting me stay with her
53
00:02:26,058 --> 00:02:28,235
until I get a forever home.
54
00:02:28,365 --> 00:02:30,628
She is really the best
Christmas gift ever.
55
00:02:32,021 --> 00:02:33,457
Amen. Amen.
56
00:02:50,779 --> 00:02:52,302
All right, kiddo.
57
00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:58,308
Good night.
58
00:02:59,962 --> 00:03:01,311
Good night.
59
00:03:01,398 --> 00:03:03,139
Good night.
60
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:15,847
Rev. People like to say
61
00:03:15,978 --> 00:03:18,154
"we're counting down the days."
62
00:03:18,285 --> 00:03:19,405
Well, let's talk about that.
63
00:03:22,593 --> 00:03:25,248
Y'all know sweet little Lily.
64
00:03:25,379 --> 00:03:27,139
Lily's been with my daughter
for five months
65
00:03:27,163 --> 00:03:28,991
and she's spent half that time
66
00:03:29,121 --> 00:03:30,645
counting down to Christmas.
67
00:03:32,255 --> 00:03:34,388
Well, here we are,
68
00:03:34,518 --> 00:03:36,955
just two weeks before
the big day.
69
00:03:37,042 --> 00:03:38,740
What do you think Mary was doing
70
00:03:38,827 --> 00:03:40,350
two weeks before Christmas?
71
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:44,112
Getting ready to board
a donkey to Bethlehem?
72
00:03:44,136 --> 00:03:45,225
Yes.
73
00:03:46,704 --> 00:03:48,967
But like any mother-to-be,
74
00:03:49,098 --> 00:03:52,057
I imagine she was counting down
to the big day.
75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,365
The day when she would bring
her precious son
76
00:03:55,496 --> 00:03:57,759
into the world.
77
00:03:57,889 --> 00:04:00,892
Think about the hardship
she had to endure
78
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:03,417
giving birth to our Lord
and Savior,
79
00:04:03,504 --> 00:04:05,462
and ask yourself,
80
00:04:05,593 --> 00:04:06,918
what will you be doing
with your two weeks
81
00:04:06,942 --> 00:04:08,813
before Christmas?
82
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:10,641
On Christmas day...
83
00:04:10,728 --> 00:04:12,513
and beyond...
84
00:04:13,731 --> 00:04:15,864
what gift will you give
to the world?
85
00:04:17,082 --> 00:04:20,303
To your closest friends?
Your family?
86
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:22,436
To the one person
who needs you the most?
87
00:04:23,698 --> 00:04:26,266
What gift will you give
this Christmas?
88
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:32,446
? Angels we have heard on high ?
89
00:04:33,969 --> 00:04:37,929
? Sweetly singing
o'er the plains ?
90
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:40,584
? And the mountains in reply ?
91
00:04:42,151 --> 00:04:44,719
? Echoing their joyous strains ?
92
00:04:45,894 --> 00:04:47,809
? Glo-o-o ?
93
00:04:47,896 --> 00:04:49,419
? O-o-o-o ?
94
00:04:49,506 --> 00:04:51,943
? -O-o-ria ?
95
00:04:52,030 --> 00:04:53,660
I heard you up there,
big brother,
96
00:04:53,684 --> 00:04:55,773
calling folks out.
97
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,776
"What are you gonna do
with your two weeks"
98
00:04:58,863 --> 00:05:01,301
"before Christmas?"
99
00:05:01,431 --> 00:05:03,215
And...?!
100
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,348
Well, I'm doing
what I always do.
101
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:08,046
I'm putting on
the Christmas pageant.
102
00:05:08,177 --> 00:05:11,006
Hmm, you know Glenda Harris
is always on point!
103
00:05:13,356 --> 00:05:15,315
Lily's gonna be
in the pageant this year!
104
00:05:15,445 --> 00:05:17,752
Mm-hmm!
I'm singing "Silent Night!"
105
00:05:17,882 --> 00:05:19,797
Her very first solo!
106
00:05:19,928 --> 00:05:21,712
Aw, yes.
107
00:05:21,799 --> 00:05:23,801
You're gonna be amazing.
108
00:05:23,888 --> 00:05:25,605
Do you think the pageant's
gonna bring in enough
109
00:05:25,629 --> 00:05:27,544
for the roof repairs, Sis?
110
00:05:27,631 --> 00:05:29,807
I promised you that we would
have a new roof
111
00:05:29,894 --> 00:05:31,548
for the centennial celebration
112
00:05:31,679 --> 00:05:33,724
and we will!
113
00:05:33,855 --> 00:05:35,900
Well, let me know
if you want help, Auntie.
114
00:05:36,031 --> 00:05:39,077
Amber, your mom and I
started this pageant
115
00:05:39,208 --> 00:05:40,688
when we were in college.
116
00:05:42,298 --> 00:05:44,822
Since she passed over,
it's been up to me
117
00:05:44,953 --> 00:05:46,868
to keep the tradition going
118
00:05:46,998 --> 00:05:48,348
and I have remained
119
00:05:49,958 --> 00:05:52,830
one thousand percent
committed to that...
120
00:05:54,745 --> 00:05:57,531
Oh.
121
00:05:57,618 --> 00:06:00,098
Mm-mm, didn't Pastor say
no phones at the table?
122
00:06:00,185 --> 00:06:03,014
Hush boy. My baby's calling.
123
00:06:03,101 --> 00:06:05,060
Hey, Elaine! Oh... Melvin?
124
00:06:06,409 --> 00:06:08,280
That was a great message
today, Pastor.
125
00:06:08,411 --> 00:06:10,051
Thank you.
Yeah, he only slept through
126
00:06:10,108 --> 00:06:12,067
like half of it.
127
00:06:12,197 --> 00:06:13,938
Just like
when we were in school?
128
00:06:14,069 --> 00:06:16,158
Elaine had the twins! What?!
129
00:06:16,288 --> 00:06:17,855
Uh huh! Two weeks early?!
130
00:06:17,942 --> 00:06:19,422
Yes. What?!
131
00:06:19,553 --> 00:06:21,468
Ha, ha!
132
00:06:21,598 --> 00:06:23,228
I gotta go to Texas.
She's gonna need her mama.
133
00:06:23,252 --> 00:06:24,688
Um, what do I-
what do I need to do?
134
00:06:24,819 --> 00:06:26,516
I'll book a flight. Right.
135
00:06:26,647 --> 00:06:27,754
Ham can drive you
to the airport.
136
00:06:27,778 --> 00:06:30,607
Um, I, I'm a grandma y'all!
I'm a grandma!
137
00:06:30,694 --> 00:06:32,392
Oh!
138
00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:36,787
Aw! Oh, my goodness.
139
00:06:36,918 --> 00:06:39,268
She got me, she got me.
Come on, I gotta go.
140
00:06:41,226 --> 00:06:43,751
Wait! What about the pageant?!
141
00:06:45,753 --> 00:06:47,798
Oh.
142
00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:49,844
I can do it.
143
00:06:49,974 --> 00:06:51,541
Uh, are-are you sure, Amber?
144
00:06:51,628 --> 00:06:53,630
I know how your schedule gets
145
00:06:53,761 --> 00:06:55,545
and being a social worker
is not always about
146
00:06:55,632 --> 00:06:57,939
nine to five.
True, but I took time off
147
00:06:58,069 --> 00:07:00,158
for the holidays, so I'm good.
148
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:03,597
Besides, I've watched you
and mom all these years.
149
00:07:03,684 --> 00:07:05,686
Just give me a to-do list
150
00:07:05,773 --> 00:07:07,949
and I'll take care
of everything.
151
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:11,169
Okay, but just do
what I tell you.
152
00:07:11,256 --> 00:07:13,084
Nothing more, nothing less.
153
00:07:13,171 --> 00:07:15,304
Got it! I mean it.
154
00:07:15,435 --> 00:07:17,785
Auntie, I got you. Go!
Okay, bye!
155
00:07:19,047 --> 00:07:21,571
Mwah!
156
00:07:21,658 --> 00:07:23,921
Okay, I'm gone y'all.
Nicole, save me some pie.
157
00:07:24,008 --> 00:07:25,967
No promises. Wonderful!
158
00:07:32,408 --> 00:07:33,928
Thanks for staying to help, Dad.
159
00:07:38,066 --> 00:07:39,807
I had no idea
how much work went into
160
00:07:39,894 --> 00:07:41,852
this Christmas pageant.
161
00:07:41,983 --> 00:07:43,680
Your aunt is a tough act
to follow.
162
00:07:43,811 --> 00:07:45,682
I know!
163
00:07:45,769 --> 00:07:47,989
I just need something big.
164
00:07:48,119 --> 00:07:49,991
Something special...
165
00:07:50,078 --> 00:07:52,384
so that we can raise
all the money in one pop.
166
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:54,580
And Mt. Joy can look good
for her hundredth birthday.
167
00:07:54,604 --> 00:07:56,606
Exactly.
168
00:07:56,693 --> 00:07:58,695
Mommy Amber,
169
00:07:58,782 --> 00:08:01,393
has Motown Records been around
for a hundred years too?
170
00:08:01,524 --> 00:08:03,178
Uh oh, first your mom,
171
00:08:03,308 --> 00:08:04,832
then you, now Lily?
172
00:08:04,962 --> 00:08:07,399
Heh, the Motown love is real.
Mm-hmm.
173
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:10,272
Mom was all about Diana Ross
174
00:08:10,402 --> 00:08:11,969
and the Supremes, remember?
175
00:08:12,056 --> 00:08:13,971
Oh, I remember.
176
00:08:14,102 --> 00:08:15,973
And you like Smokey Robinson!
177
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:18,193
See, Dad,
my girl knows what's up.
178
00:08:20,848 --> 00:08:23,168
You should play some of his
songs at the Christmas Pageant.
179
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,855
Oh my gosh.
That's actually a great idea!
180
00:08:29,465 --> 00:08:32,642
The pageant should be inspired
by Motown Christmas music!
181
00:08:34,165 --> 00:08:36,516
That would be a nice spin. Yes!
182
00:08:36,603 --> 00:08:39,997
Even if people don't know
Mt. Joy, they know Motown.
183
00:08:40,084 --> 00:08:41,521
That's the special hook!
184
00:08:42,826 --> 00:08:45,873
Lily, you are a genius!
You know that?
185
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,353
I know.
186
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,181
Come here, Sweetie. Aw.
187
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:54,107
Thanks again for coming,
Deaconess Jones.
188
00:08:55,752 --> 00:08:58,233
You know, I used to sing
background for Marvin
189
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,540
back in the day.
190
00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:02,933
Everybody in Detroit
sang background for somebody
191
00:09:03,064 --> 00:09:05,632
back in the day.
Well, I'm just saying,
192
00:09:05,762 --> 00:09:07,764
that if we're going to go
with this Motown theme,
193
00:09:07,851 --> 00:09:09,940
we should actually pull in
some church members
194
00:09:10,071 --> 00:09:13,117
who actually sang for Motown.
Or better yet,
195
00:09:13,204 --> 00:09:15,511
get a famous Motown artist
196
00:09:15,598 --> 00:09:17,557
to make an appearance!
197
00:09:17,644 --> 00:09:18,993
Now that would be nice!
198
00:09:19,123 --> 00:09:20,864
I vote for Smokey! Oh!
199
00:09:20,995 --> 00:09:24,085
Oh yes! That sounds great,
200
00:09:24,215 --> 00:09:26,522
but how are we gonna get
Smokey Robinson
201
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:28,480
to our church on Christmas Eve?
202
00:09:28,611 --> 00:09:29,917
Oh, come on, Nicole!
203
00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:31,701
You know I always have
the perfect plan.
204
00:09:31,788 --> 00:09:33,573
Ooh.
205
00:09:33,703 --> 00:09:35,792
I do not have the perfect plan.
206
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,926
I called Smokey's publicist,
his agent, his manager,
207
00:09:39,056 --> 00:09:41,058
they said that he's booked solid
208
00:09:41,145 --> 00:09:43,345
and there's no way he can
squeeze in another appearance.
209
00:09:43,408 --> 00:09:45,062
Well, at least you tried.
210
00:09:45,149 --> 00:09:47,369
Only other option is...
Find someone else?
211
00:09:47,499 --> 00:09:50,285
No. Go around his people
212
00:09:50,372 --> 00:09:51,939
and get straight to Smokey.
213
00:09:52,026 --> 00:09:54,332
Told you. What?
214
00:09:54,463 --> 00:09:56,291
She told me you were gonna
latch onto this
215
00:09:56,378 --> 00:09:58,336
like a pit bull.
Just like in middle school.
216
00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:00,271
Remember when you wrote
a letter to the principal
217
00:10:00,295 --> 00:10:01,925
asking her to add
chocolate milk to the menu
218
00:10:01,949 --> 00:10:03,994
and she said no?
And then you and Eddie
219
00:10:04,125 --> 00:10:05,953
staged a sit in until
they met your demands?
220
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,390
What, everybody loves
chocolate milk.
221
00:10:08,477 --> 00:10:11,262
Oh. Looks like you
ran out of glitter.
222
00:10:11,349 --> 00:10:12,699
Here, let me grab some.
223
00:10:16,703 --> 00:10:18,530
We have a situation
on our hands.
224
00:10:18,661 --> 00:10:20,707
Amber is not gonna rest
until we get Smokey.
225
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:22,954
Which means we're not gonna
rest until we get Smokey.
226
00:10:23,057 --> 00:10:26,234
We need to call for back up.
227
00:10:26,364 --> 00:10:27,820
Yeah. Someone whose-who goes
all crazy over this stuff
228
00:10:27,844 --> 00:10:29,411
like she does.
229
00:10:31,413 --> 00:10:32,762
Eddie Root!
230
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,644
This is a nice one.
231
00:10:48,169 --> 00:10:49,769
Uh, I don't think
that's how you hold it.
232
00:10:49,866 --> 00:10:51,825
Is that how you hold it?
233
00:10:51,912 --> 00:10:53,522
May I?
234
00:10:54,175 --> 00:10:56,307
Yes. Please. Hey. How you doin'?
235
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:58,527
Good. You good?
236
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:01,008
Okay, you just
hold it like that.
237
00:11:01,138 --> 00:11:03,097
That's perfect.
And then you just strum.
238
00:11:06,274 --> 00:11:08,580
There you go. Yeah.
What do you think, Baby?
239
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:09,948
I'm no baby! I'm six years old!
240
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,119
Well, I was a whole
six years old
241
00:11:14,238 --> 00:11:16,260
when my uncle taught me
how to play guitar and piano.
242
00:11:16,284 --> 00:11:18,329
Hmm.
243
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:20,636
Yeah, you just strum.
244
00:11:20,767 --> 00:11:22,594
Move your fingers around
a little bit.
245
00:11:22,725 --> 00:11:25,249
Yeah, there you go,
that's perfect.
246
00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:27,469
So, I'll leave you to it.
And uh,
247
00:11:27,599 --> 00:11:29,534
as a Christmas bonus, I'll
throw in three free lessons.
248
00:11:29,558 --> 00:11:30,777
Oh, thank you. Yes! Okay?
249
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:32,039
Yeah. Okay.
250
00:11:33,257 --> 00:11:35,172
You like it?
251
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:37,305
Oh, two calls in a row.
This must be good!
252
00:11:37,435 --> 00:11:39,829
I don't have much time.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
253
00:11:39,916 --> 00:11:41,613
The church wants
Smokey Robinson to come
254
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,461
to the Christmas Pageant
because we have a leaky roof
255
00:11:43,485 --> 00:11:45,269
and next year is our centennial
256
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,560
and I know you used to play
with Smokey back in the day
257
00:11:47,619 --> 00:11:49,883
so, I was hoping maybe you
could pull like a one-two...
258
00:11:50,013 --> 00:11:51,293
Whoa, whoa, whoa, first of all,
259
00:11:51,319 --> 00:11:53,321
I didn't play with Smokey.
My uncle did.
260
00:11:53,408 --> 00:11:55,192
Okay. I just tagged along
with him.
261
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,319
I was like 12-years-old.
You didn't keep in touch?
262
00:11:57,368 --> 00:11:59,283
Who doesn't keep in touch
with Smokey Robinson?
263
00:11:59,370 --> 00:12:02,069
Are you serious?
Eddie. I'm desperate here.
264
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:05,028
Come on, man,
help a brother out.
265
00:12:05,115 --> 00:12:06,247
Make some calls.
266
00:12:07,204 --> 00:12:08,858
Please.
267
00:12:08,945 --> 00:12:10,686
Okay, okay,
I guess I could try to find
268
00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:12,470
one of Uncle Acer's old
bandmates.
269
00:12:12,557 --> 00:12:14,298
Hey, that's my dude! Okay.
270
00:12:14,385 --> 00:12:16,213
Let me know what he says. Peace!
271
00:12:16,300 --> 00:12:17,737
Hey, Ham, how is Am...
272
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,828
Hey. Ah, okay. All right.
273
00:12:21,958 --> 00:12:23,544
I'll pick it up later.
Okay, good choice.
274
00:12:23,568 --> 00:12:24,568
Thanks.
275
00:12:25,483 --> 00:12:27,485
Is he coming?!
He's gonna make some calls
276
00:12:27,616 --> 00:12:29,313
and then get back to me.
Ham! Noooo!
277
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,030
He needs to come to Detroit
so he and you-know-who
278
00:12:31,054 --> 00:12:33,056
can work on this together.
279
00:12:33,143 --> 00:12:35,624
Wait, so this isn't just
about him getting Smokey?
280
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:37,384
Of course not!
Why would you think that?
281
00:12:37,408 --> 00:12:40,063
Um, well, because?
282
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:43,110
Ham, do I have to spell
everything out?
283
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,696
I mean, yeah it would
probably help.
284
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,766
Really, Ham? Eddie, Amber.
285
00:12:49,377 --> 00:12:51,901
Oh. You're right. Okay.
286
00:12:51,988 --> 00:12:53,903
I'll call him back.
287
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,521
Dude, I have not
had the chance to...
288
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,394
Change of plans.
You gotta come to Detroit.
289
00:13:06,481 --> 00:13:08,178
We need your help
with the pageant.
290
00:13:08,309 --> 00:13:10,137
I thought I was helping
with Smokey.
291
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:12,139
Well, you can help more
when you're here.
292
00:13:12,226 --> 00:13:14,619
Detroit in December? Hard pass.
293
00:13:14,706 --> 00:13:16,336
Why do I get the feeling that
you're up to something, Ham?
294
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,622
No, no. I just um...
295
00:13:19,973 --> 00:13:21,975
okay you're gonna
make me say it?
296
00:13:23,498 --> 00:13:25,717
I miss you, bro.
297
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:27,768
Christmases haven't been
the same since you left.
298
00:13:29,417 --> 00:13:30,984
You good? Yeah.
299
00:13:31,071 --> 00:13:33,160
Yeah.
300
00:13:34,596 --> 00:13:35,815
All right. Too much?
301
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:39,862
I have some time off
for the holidays.
302
00:13:39,993 --> 00:13:41,821
All right, let's go. Okay.
303
00:13:41,951 --> 00:13:43,997
Yeah um,
304
00:13:44,127 --> 00:13:46,129
I guess I could hang out
for a few days.
305
00:13:46,216 --> 00:13:48,653
Wait... you serious? Yeah.
306
00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:51,308
It's about time I came home.
Yes!
307
00:13:51,395 --> 00:13:53,528
Okay, great yeah, you can stay
with me and Nicole.
308
00:13:55,138 --> 00:13:56,705
Oh uh, sorry,
one more thing man:
309
00:13:58,925 --> 00:14:00,622
you still good at making
wreaths?
310
00:14:03,059 --> 00:14:04,408
? It's time for the fire
311
00:14:04,495 --> 00:14:07,020
Okay. Okay.
312
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:08,848
So, you take the wreath. Yeah.
313
00:14:08,978 --> 00:14:10,327
You hang it on Ms. Clara's door.
314
00:14:10,414 --> 00:14:12,634
Uh-huh. She'll come outside,
315
00:14:12,764 --> 00:14:14,766
Yeah. and she'll see
316
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:16,812
a nice surprise.
Like a present from Santa.
317
00:14:16,899 --> 00:14:19,075
Exactly. You ready?
Come on, okay. Sh-sh-sh.
318
00:14:19,162 --> 00:14:20,487
? Up on the tree we'll be
hanging all the trimmings ?
319
00:14:20,511 --> 00:14:23,558
Okay.
320
00:14:23,645 --> 00:14:25,342
? We'll be hanging
all the trimmings ?
321
00:14:25,473 --> 00:14:27,562
Okay. Eeee! Okay, come on.
322
00:14:29,172 --> 00:14:30,584
? Santa knows
what he'll be bringing ?
323
00:14:30,608 --> 00:14:32,610
Oh. Oh.
324
00:14:32,697 --> 00:14:34,569
? 'Cause he'll be bringing ?
325
00:14:34,699 --> 00:14:36,614
? You for me, me for you,
you for me ?
326
00:14:36,745 --> 00:14:38,834
Why thank you, Lily!
327
00:14:38,921 --> 00:14:41,271
Th-this is lovely.
328
00:14:41,358 --> 00:14:43,317
Merry Christmas.
329
00:14:43,447 --> 00:14:46,363
Merry Christmas, Ms. Clara.
Aw, Merry Christmas.
330
00:14:46,494 --> 00:14:48,148
? And I know what
he'll be bringin' ?
331
00:14:48,278 --> 00:14:50,193
? 'Cause he'll be bringin' ?
332
00:14:50,324 --> 00:14:52,021
? You for me, me for you ?
333
00:14:52,108 --> 00:14:53,631
Oh, I have some news!
334
00:14:53,718 --> 00:14:56,721
We have sold 150
of our 500 seats.
335
00:14:56,808 --> 00:14:59,115
Oh! And our online sales
336
00:14:59,246 --> 00:15:01,988
are picking up like crazy!
Great, but um...
337
00:15:02,118 --> 00:15:04,468
As soon as people heard
that Smokey Robinson
338
00:15:04,599 --> 00:15:06,688
is gonna make an appearance
well oh...
339
00:15:06,818 --> 00:15:09,256
Deaconess Jones, I don't
think we should tell people
340
00:15:09,386 --> 00:15:11,998
he's coming.
Nothing is confirmed.
341
00:15:12,128 --> 00:15:14,063
Should I pull his picture
from our social media pages?
342
00:15:14,087 --> 00:15:16,263
Yes. Oh well.
343
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,700
Then maybe I'll say uh,
344
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:20,896
"featuring a special appearance
from a Motown Great."
345
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,313
Uh, don't know
about that either.
346
00:15:23,444 --> 00:15:25,925
Guys, we need...
A Christmas miracle!
347
00:15:27,752 --> 00:15:30,016
Eddie Root!
348
00:15:30,103 --> 00:15:31,756
Ha, ha! Eddie!
349
00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:36,065
What a surprise!
Dude, you just called.
350
00:15:36,152 --> 00:15:37,980
Welcome home, Eddie! Hey.
351
00:15:38,111 --> 00:15:39,939
Oh, my goodness.
Good to see you.
352
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:42,637
How ya doin'?
Heh, heh! Eddie Root.
353
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:49,644
Hey you.
354
00:15:50,906 --> 00:15:53,822
Wow! This is a surprise.
355
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,476
Yeah.
356
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:57,434
What brings you back to Detroit?
357
00:15:57,565 --> 00:15:59,567
Uh, Ham called me,
but apparently,
358
00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:01,743
you weren't supposed
to know about that.
359
00:16:01,830 --> 00:16:03,614
Apparently.
360
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:05,486
Yeah, he said something
about a fundraiser
361
00:16:05,616 --> 00:16:07,416
and Smokey Robinson
and how he needed my help.
362
00:16:09,011 --> 00:16:11,666
But he mentioned
everything except you.
363
00:16:11,796 --> 00:16:14,843
Well, this is
my dad's church so...
364
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:17,106
Right. Right. Ah.
365
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,980
Oh, I just forgot my uh...
366
00:16:23,069 --> 00:16:24,809
this.
367
00:16:27,247 --> 00:16:29,031
You look great!
368
00:16:29,162 --> 00:16:30,902
Thank you.
369
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:32,730
You too. Thanks.
370
00:16:32,817 --> 00:16:35,690
Very... artsy. Hmm.
371
00:16:37,909 --> 00:16:39,781
So, how long are you in town?
372
00:16:39,868 --> 00:16:42,392
I'm just playing it by ear.
373
00:16:42,479 --> 00:16:43,915
You? Yeah!
374
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:45,046
Nah!
375
00:16:46,353 --> 00:16:48,094
Yeah.
376
00:16:48,224 --> 00:16:50,313
You know, the whole way here,
I was practicing
377
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,098
what I'd say when I saw you...
378
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,666
And?
379
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:57,717
Well, the first thing
that came to my mind was...
380
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,719
Wanna get a burger?
381
00:17:12,814 --> 00:17:14,487
Is it me or did these
burgers get smaller?
382
00:17:14,511 --> 00:17:16,600
I'm not sure.
I haven't been here in years.
383
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:18,472
Are you serious?
384
00:17:18,602 --> 00:17:20,474
This was our spot! Mm-hmm.
385
00:17:20,561 --> 00:17:22,041
And this was our booth.
386
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:26,741
Wow. Christmas Eve, 2001.
387
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:30,571
You were there, and I was here.
388
00:17:30,701 --> 00:17:32,486
Smokey was playing
in the background.
389
00:17:32,616 --> 00:17:35,271
Right, right. And...
390
00:17:35,358 --> 00:17:37,438
I asked you to be my girl.
And you said yes and we...
391
00:17:39,449 --> 00:17:40,885
Wait a second...
392
00:17:43,366 --> 00:17:45,368
Wow.
393
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:50,765
So how ya been, Eddie?
394
00:17:50,895 --> 00:17:52,569
You know, the last time
we were here you told me
395
00:17:52,593 --> 00:17:55,030
you were off to LA,
396
00:17:55,117 --> 00:17:56,771
uh, New York, London.
397
00:17:59,121 --> 00:18:01,341
Yeah, that uh, that didn't
go according to plan.
398
00:18:01,428 --> 00:18:03,473
I um, I moved to Atlanta,
399
00:18:03,604 --> 00:18:05,693
then Austin,
and then uh, New Orleans,
400
00:18:05,823 --> 00:18:07,410
and I'm working in a music
store in the French Quarter.
401
00:18:07,434 --> 00:18:09,088
Hmm.
402
00:18:09,218 --> 00:18:11,394
Yeah, yeah, flexible hours,
you know.
403
00:18:11,525 --> 00:18:13,396
Allows me to pick up gigs.
404
00:18:15,181 --> 00:18:17,357
Sounds perfect for you.
405
00:18:17,444 --> 00:18:19,315
Yeah. So, what about you?
406
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:21,404
You still trying to save
the world?
407
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:23,058
Still trying.
408
00:18:23,189 --> 00:18:25,452
I love being a social worker.
409
00:18:25,539 --> 00:18:27,106
Helping families, kids.
410
00:18:28,977 --> 00:18:30,805
That means a lot to me. Yeah.
411
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:36,202
Oh shoot! Um...
412
00:18:36,289 --> 00:18:38,136
you know, I hate to cut
this short. I have to...
413
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,249
Oh.
414
00:18:40,336 --> 00:18:42,599
Why don't you come over later?
415
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:44,862
There's someone I'd like
for you to meet.
416
00:18:44,949 --> 00:18:46,864
Sure. Yeah. I'd love that.
417
00:18:46,995 --> 00:18:49,737
Uh, 7-ish? Same address?
418
00:18:49,824 --> 00:18:51,304
Yep. Okay. I'll see you then.
419
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:54,611
It's nice seeing you, Eddie.
420
00:18:54,698 --> 00:18:57,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really good
to see you too, Amber.
421
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,190
Okay.
422
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,283
Okay. Uh...
423
00:19:15,545 --> 00:19:17,460
You okay, Mommy Amber?
424
00:19:17,591 --> 00:19:19,680
Yes, I'm fine. Why?
425
00:19:19,810 --> 00:19:22,161
You seem nervous.
426
00:19:22,248 --> 00:19:24,859
Nope, mommy is just getting
ready for a meeting.
427
00:19:26,469 --> 00:19:28,534
Can I work on the shoeboxes
for the children's home?
428
00:19:28,558 --> 00:19:30,865
Yes, the wrapping paper's
in the closet.
429
00:19:40,831 --> 00:19:42,591
Please tell me that's
the exact same wreath
430
00:19:42,616 --> 00:19:44,139
you made when we were kids.
431
00:19:44,226 --> 00:19:46,097
It is the exact same wreath.
432
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,317
Come on in.
433
00:19:49,710 --> 00:19:51,538
Thanks. Mm-hmm.
434
00:19:51,668 --> 00:19:53,670
Mommy Amber!
435
00:19:53,801 --> 00:19:55,977
Oh, hello!
436
00:19:56,064 --> 00:19:57,718
Hi.
437
00:19:57,848 --> 00:19:59,372
Meet Lily.
438
00:20:07,336 --> 00:20:09,096
I toyed with the idea
of being a foster mom,
439
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,514
but I didn't think I was ready.
440
00:20:13,124 --> 00:20:14,430
Until I met Lily.
441
00:20:14,561 --> 00:20:16,476
You know, she was only supposed
to stay with me
442
00:20:16,563 --> 00:20:18,304
for a couple of weeks.
443
00:20:18,391 --> 00:20:20,044
It's been five months.
444
00:20:20,131 --> 00:20:22,046
She seems like a really
great kid.
445
00:20:22,133 --> 00:20:24,005
Oh. She is such a blessing,
Eddie.
446
00:20:26,181 --> 00:20:28,357
You know, just taking it
a day at a time.
447
00:20:28,444 --> 00:20:29,924
Mm, since when?
448
00:20:31,317 --> 00:20:32,903
The Amber Dupont I know
would have planned
449
00:20:32,927 --> 00:20:34,607
this kid's college
graduation party by now.
450
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:37,061
Well, this Amber Dupont
451
00:20:37,192 --> 00:20:38,933
just wants to find
the perfect family
452
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:40,978
for the perfect little girl.
453
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:46,506
So, Smokey Robinson. Yes.
454
00:20:46,636 --> 00:20:49,509
Any leads?
No, but between the two of us
455
00:20:49,596 --> 00:20:51,815
I mean, we should be able
to come up with something.
456
00:20:51,946 --> 00:20:53,774
I mean, we always did,
didn't we?
457
00:20:53,861 --> 00:20:55,863
I mean, you were always
my favorite duet partner.
458
00:20:55,950 --> 00:20:59,040
Just know I still sing off key.
459
00:20:59,127 --> 00:21:00,998
And one of the things
I love about you.
460
00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:06,352
I mean...
461
00:21:07,788 --> 00:21:09,920
I'll make some calls, and uh,
462
00:21:10,007 --> 00:21:11,357
I'll try to track down
some folks.
463
00:21:12,488 --> 00:21:14,273
Great.
464
00:21:15,926 --> 00:21:17,469
So, is there anything else
that I can help you with...
465
00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:19,539
pageant-wise? Um, yeah!
466
00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:21,758
I do need to choose kids
467
00:21:21,845 --> 00:21:24,195
for the nativity scene
re-enactments.
468
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:26,763
I've got a ton of photos
469
00:21:26,850 --> 00:21:28,809
and I have no idea
where to start.
470
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:30,854
I can help.
471
00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:32,769
We could do it now if you want.
472
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:34,989
Well, Lily and I,
we have to work
473
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,296
on her shepherd's costume.
Oh. Okay.
474
00:21:39,733 --> 00:21:41,996
No worries.
But I guess we could do both.
475
00:21:42,083 --> 00:21:43,963
I mean, we did invent
the art of multitasking.
476
00:21:43,998 --> 00:21:45,956
That we did.
477
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:49,133
All right, kiddo. All done.
478
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:52,049
Now go run to the bathroom
and try it on.
479
00:21:52,136 --> 00:21:53,964
Okay. All right.
480
00:21:54,095 --> 00:21:55,879
Hey Amber,
I think we have a cast.
481
00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:58,229
Yes!
482
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:00,406
? Our own Christmas dream ?
483
00:22:00,536 --> 00:22:02,233
Oh. Yeah, so.
484
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:04,453
She's adorable. Mm-hmm.
485
00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:06,629
Yeah, she's great, she's great.
486
00:22:06,716 --> 00:22:08,849
Um, he's charming.
487
00:22:08,936 --> 00:22:10,720
This little guy, he's
a little charmer.
488
00:22:10,807 --> 00:22:12,461
Look at me, guys!
489
00:22:12,548 --> 00:22:15,072
Oh, my goodness!
490
00:22:15,203 --> 00:22:18,032
The cutest little shepherd
I have ever seen!
491
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,296
I second that emotion!
Right here, kiddo! Mm!
492
00:22:21,383 --> 00:22:22,578
We need to have our own
handshake.
493
00:22:22,602 --> 00:22:24,473
Yeah.
494
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,127
Like that? But yeah, like...
495
00:22:26,257 --> 00:22:27,713
Uh, and you gotta go
backwards too right,
496
00:22:27,737 --> 00:22:29,435
then I'm gonna come like this.
Boom, boom,
497
00:22:29,522 --> 00:22:31,350
do a little shimmy. Yeah.
498
00:22:31,437 --> 00:22:33,003
You know, a little shake. Yeah.
499
00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:34,657
And then... All right,
500
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:35,808
enough fooling around, you two.
Come on.
501
00:22:35,832 --> 00:22:38,052
We gotta finish this up.
All right, how about...
502
00:22:38,139 --> 00:22:39,899
we tie this one like this.
Do you want a bow?
503
00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:41,795
Yeah. Okay.
504
00:23:33,542 --> 00:23:35,414
Thanks for coming.
505
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:36,956
I think it'll be next Christmas
before Ham gets around
506
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:39,069
to getting us a tree.
507
00:23:39,156 --> 00:23:40,984
Figure I'd surprise
Nicole this year.
508
00:23:41,071 --> 00:23:42,899
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown!
509
00:23:42,986 --> 00:23:45,380
And what about you, Linus?
510
00:23:45,511 --> 00:23:47,687
We got Smokey Robinson on deck?
Not yet.
511
00:23:47,817 --> 00:23:49,621
But uh, Amber and I are gonna
work on that though.
512
00:23:49,645 --> 00:23:51,342
Hmm. You always do.
513
00:23:51,473 --> 00:23:52,561
You and Amber.
514
00:23:55,782 --> 00:23:57,847
You know I must say, I am
quite surprised you came home.
515
00:23:57,871 --> 00:24:00,264
Even after my impassioned plea.
516
00:24:01,831 --> 00:24:03,111
Well, you said you needed help.
517
00:24:06,183 --> 00:24:07,924
Okay, I was starting
to miss home.
518
00:24:08,011 --> 00:24:09,752
But you know...
519
00:24:09,883 --> 00:24:12,276
Yeah, I get it.
520
00:24:12,363 --> 00:24:13,887
Everyone thought you were
gonna go off
521
00:24:14,017 --> 00:24:16,324
and become a big star
and you didn't. So.
522
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:18,805
Wow! Just rip the band-aid off.
523
00:24:20,197 --> 00:24:22,809
Last I recall,
he wanted to travel the world.
524
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,484
And I wanted to stay in
Detroit to be a social worker.
525
00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:28,597
It was mutual.
526
00:24:28,684 --> 00:24:30,556
And then, the second time, he...
527
00:24:30,686 --> 00:24:32,732
well, he still wanted
to travel the world
528
00:24:32,819 --> 00:24:35,909
but you wanted to get married
and start a family.
529
00:24:35,996 --> 00:24:37,954
Yeah, but he wasn't ready.
530
00:24:38,041 --> 00:24:39,782
You know, I left here
with a big dream
531
00:24:39,913 --> 00:24:41,610
and now I'm back, empty handed.
532
00:24:42,829 --> 00:24:44,657
You know we don't care
about that, right?
533
00:24:44,744 --> 00:24:46,659
I do.
534
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:48,312
You know, I gave up a lot
for my dream.
535
00:24:49,836 --> 00:24:51,664
A future with Amber...
536
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:53,492
family...
537
00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:56,973
Well, she has Lily so,
538
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:58,627
you know, if she's happy,
I'm happy.
539
00:25:01,151 --> 00:25:03,231
I'm just gonna make a couple
calls while you do this.
540
00:25:04,633 --> 00:25:06,433
What's it like seeing him
after three years?
541
00:25:08,245 --> 00:25:09,856
I mean, it was,
it was, it was fine.
542
00:25:09,986 --> 00:25:12,249
It's-it's fine. It's fine.
543
00:25:12,380 --> 00:25:13,966
Girl, if you say "fine"
one more time...
544
00:25:13,990 --> 00:25:16,253
It was good to see him, okay?
545
00:25:16,384 --> 00:25:18,691
He's, he seems at peace.
546
00:25:19,996 --> 00:25:21,911
Hello, this message
is for J.J. West,
547
00:25:22,042 --> 00:25:24,435
this is Eddie Root,
Acer Root's nephew.
548
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,786
Um, look I was wondering
if you could give me a call.
549
00:25:26,916 --> 00:25:29,049
I was... could really use your
help with something.
550
00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:35,098
You know, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna go, you got this?
551
00:25:35,185 --> 00:25:36,491
Yeah. Okay.
552
00:25:41,888 --> 00:25:43,672
Oh! Oh, hey!
553
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:46,675
Wait, what are you doing here?
554
00:25:46,762 --> 00:25:48,459
Oh, Ham is surprising
Nicole with a tree.
555
00:25:51,027 --> 00:25:52,768
Don't tell me.
556
00:25:52,855 --> 00:25:54,335
Oh my gosh.
557
00:25:56,424 --> 00:25:59,906
Uh, I, um, I left a message
for my uncle's old bandmate.
558
00:25:59,993 --> 00:26:01,579
Uh, well like, I hope
that's still his number,
559
00:26:01,603 --> 00:26:02,972
but he might be able
to help us get Smokey.
560
00:26:02,996 --> 00:26:05,085
Oh. Cool.
561
00:26:05,172 --> 00:26:07,304
Well, I called a friend
at the radio station,
562
00:26:07,391 --> 00:26:09,263
and I told her to keep
an eye out.
563
00:26:09,393 --> 00:26:10,786
Oh. Great. We're gonna get him.
564
00:26:10,917 --> 00:26:12,571
Yes.
565
00:26:12,658 --> 00:26:14,529
Hey Eddie.
566
00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:17,053
Oh. Don't tell Nicole. Or Ham.
567
00:26:17,184 --> 00:26:18,881
See ya back at the ranch. Okay.
568
00:26:24,147 --> 00:26:26,062
Sorry.
569
00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:27,673
Here we go.
570
00:26:30,676 --> 00:26:31,938
Oh, snap!
571
00:26:33,417 --> 00:26:35,134
Okay, whoever has
the best decorated tree,
572
00:26:35,158 --> 00:26:37,421
ahem, me and Ham,
573
00:26:37,508 --> 00:26:40,468
get to relax while the losers...
574
00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:43,079
Amber and Nicole, entertain us.
575
00:26:43,210 --> 00:26:44,994
Listen man, no offense,
576
00:26:45,081 --> 00:26:47,518
but I am awful at decorating
trees,
577
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:49,322
and I've seen your handiwork
and you're no better,
578
00:26:49,346 --> 00:26:51,087
so, I don't know
if that's a good idea.
579
00:26:51,174 --> 00:26:53,220
Okay, so let's make it
interesting.
580
00:26:53,307 --> 00:26:56,397
Me and Ham against
Amber and Eddie.
581
00:26:56,527 --> 00:26:59,095
That way at least one of you
bums has a chance of winning.
582
00:26:59,182 --> 00:27:00,967
Okay. Okay. All right, cool.
583
00:27:01,054 --> 00:27:03,056
Let's do it. Okay.
584
00:27:03,186 --> 00:27:05,885
Well, what say you,
585
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:08,104
oh wise and powerful
Christmas Tree Contest Judge?
586
00:27:08,191 --> 00:27:10,193
I say...
587
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,066
the losers have to dance
to a song
588
00:27:13,196 --> 00:27:16,156
that I get to pick!
Ooh, good one, Lily!
589
00:27:18,332 --> 00:27:20,290
Okay, Madam Judge,
why don't you run off.
590
00:27:20,377 --> 00:27:22,597
We'll call you when we're done.
591
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:25,208
Okay, Joneses, get your
dancing shoes ready!
592
00:27:25,295 --> 00:27:27,558
Mm-hmm,
'cause you're going down!
593
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:29,517
Mm. We'll see about that.
594
00:27:32,607 --> 00:27:34,304
Yeah. I-I wouldn't hang
that there.
595
00:27:34,391 --> 00:27:36,567
That tree looks weak.
596
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:38,415
Eddie, Amber is carrying
you over there.
597
00:27:38,439 --> 00:27:40,310
Hope you two are ready to dance.
598
00:27:40,397 --> 00:27:42,008
You are going down, Root!
599
00:27:42,138 --> 00:27:43,923
That tree's got no style.
600
00:27:44,053 --> 00:27:45,378
? The smell of mama's
Christmas cookies ?
601
00:27:45,402 --> 00:27:46,969
Hmmm?
602
00:27:47,056 --> 00:27:48,251
? And the bells
on an open sleigh ?
603
00:27:48,275 --> 00:27:50,190
Loser. Let's play!
604
00:27:50,277 --> 00:27:52,540
Just don't cry
when Lily picks our tree.
605
00:27:52,627 --> 00:27:55,717
? And I could see those
twinkling lights ?
606
00:27:55,804 --> 00:27:56,868
Come on, Lily. Look hard now.
607
00:27:56,892 --> 00:27:58,589
? And every street lined
with decorations ?
608
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,288
Sorry.
609
00:28:03,333 --> 00:28:05,074
Kindergarten crafts.
Kindergarten.
610
00:28:05,205 --> 00:28:07,076
So.
611
00:28:07,163 --> 00:28:09,165
By unanimous decision...
612
00:28:11,385 --> 00:28:14,040
the winner of the tree
decorating contest is...
613
00:28:19,132 --> 00:28:21,177
this one!
614
00:28:21,264 --> 00:28:23,876
What?! Lily! I mean, come on!
615
00:28:24,006 --> 00:28:26,095
Mm-hmm. Lily knows what's up.
616
00:28:26,226 --> 00:28:29,142
So um, I hope you learned
how to dance
617
00:28:29,229 --> 00:28:30,709
while in New Orleans, Root.
618
00:28:32,145 --> 00:28:34,321
You two got those
costumes on yet?
619
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:38,194
Get in here!
620
00:28:41,807 --> 00:28:44,113
? Oh yeah Okay.
621
00:28:44,244 --> 00:28:46,855
? Candles burnin' low Hey. Okay.
622
00:28:46,942 --> 00:28:49,510
? Lots of mistletoe Okay.
623
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,817
Hey, bring it, Santa! Get it!
624
00:28:51,947 --> 00:28:54,950
? Everywhere we go ?
625
00:28:55,037 --> 00:28:56,952
? Choirs singin' carols
Bring it, Santa!
626
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:58,388
Nice moves! Santa!
627
00:28:58,475 --> 00:29:00,390
You all got moves! Okay.
628
00:29:00,521 --> 00:29:03,350
? All these things and more ?
629
00:29:03,437 --> 00:29:05,047
? All these things and more ?
630
00:29:05,134 --> 00:29:06,198
Ooh! Well done, well done.
631
00:29:06,222 --> 00:29:09,443
? That's what Christmas means
to me, my love ?
632
00:29:09,530 --> 00:29:11,358
? That's what Christmas means
to me, my love ?
633
00:29:11,445 --> 00:29:13,795
? Whoa yeah Ha, ha, yeah ?
634
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:16,319
? And you know I mean
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
635
00:29:16,406 --> 00:29:18,408
The competition
for roles was stiff.
636
00:29:18,539 --> 00:29:20,497
We want you to know
that whatever happens
637
00:29:20,584 --> 00:29:22,499
we are very proud of you.
638
00:29:22,586 --> 00:29:24,347
And you should never
give up on your dream
639
00:29:24,371 --> 00:29:26,291
of starring in a Christmas
Pageant in the future.
640
00:29:27,896 --> 00:29:29,376
It was a tough decision.
641
00:29:32,074 --> 00:29:34,033
Nah, not really.
You're all going through!
642
00:29:37,601 --> 00:29:39,952
Good job. Eh, so proud of you.
643
00:29:40,039 --> 00:29:41,475
There ya go. Good stuff.
644
00:29:41,562 --> 00:29:43,042
Woo-hoo! Good stuff.
645
00:29:44,391 --> 00:29:45,914
That was fun.
646
00:29:46,001 --> 00:29:48,003
Hey, you remember
how stoked we were
647
00:29:48,090 --> 00:29:49,502
when we got into the high
school Christmas pageant?
648
00:29:49,526 --> 00:29:51,354
Uh-huh.
649
00:29:51,485 --> 00:29:53,269
Yeah, you were Joseph
and I was Mary.
650
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,663
Yep. We killed it. Hello?!
651
00:29:55,750 --> 00:29:57,317
Oh um, I'm sorry.
652
00:29:57,404 --> 00:29:59,536
My friend from the radio
station she just text me:
653
00:29:59,623 --> 00:30:01,234
Smokey's in Detroit!
654
00:30:01,321 --> 00:30:03,149
What? Mm-hmm.
655
00:30:03,236 --> 00:30:06,282
He's gonna be interviewed
during the 7 to 10 shift.
656
00:30:06,369 --> 00:30:08,328
We have to catch him
on his way in.
657
00:30:08,415 --> 00:30:10,393
And not let him leave until
he commits to our fundraiser.
658
00:30:10,417 --> 00:30:12,114
And kidnap him if he says no.
659
00:30:14,421 --> 00:30:16,162
Or not. We don't have to do
all that.
660
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:18,425
Come on, silly!
661
00:30:18,512 --> 00:30:20,253
? The first snow was fallin' ?
662
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:22,298
Hmm.
663
00:30:22,385 --> 00:30:24,735
? Sleigh bells are callin' ?
664
00:30:24,866 --> 00:30:27,564
? And I just wanna
be here with you ?
665
00:30:30,219 --> 00:30:32,004
I'll be back.
666
00:30:32,091 --> 00:30:34,180
? Children are singin' ?
667
00:30:34,267 --> 00:30:36,878
? But this year is bringin'
me the blues ?
668
00:30:36,965 --> 00:30:38,575
Smokey is not here.
669
00:30:38,662 --> 00:30:41,404
? Now I stand here alone ?
670
00:30:41,491 --> 00:30:43,319
What?
671
00:30:46,888 --> 00:30:48,300
Do you know that interview
that was supposed to happen
672
00:30:48,324 --> 00:30:50,109
at 7 o'clock? Yeah.
673
00:30:50,196 --> 00:30:52,851
Well, it happened at 7 A.M..
674
00:31:05,385 --> 00:31:07,213
Looking for someone?
675
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:09,432
What? No.
676
00:31:09,563 --> 00:31:11,782
I was just noticing that we
have a great turnout today.
677
00:31:11,870 --> 00:31:14,481
Rev. Before we get into
today's message,
678
00:31:14,568 --> 00:31:17,397
we'd like to bless you with one
more song from our choir.
679
00:31:18,615 --> 00:31:21,357
Joining them would be
a young man
680
00:31:21,444 --> 00:31:23,838
that I've known
since he was a boy.
681
00:31:23,925 --> 00:31:25,325
We're just tickled
to have him home.
682
00:31:26,754 --> 00:31:27,886
Come on out here, Eddie.
683
00:31:32,586 --> 00:31:34,327
Hi, everybody.
684
00:31:34,457 --> 00:31:36,459
It's good to be home.
685
00:31:36,590 --> 00:31:38,766
It's good to be back at Mt. Joy.
686
00:31:38,853 --> 00:31:41,421
This place holds so many
special memories for me.
687
00:31:41,508 --> 00:31:44,641
This song I sang at my
very first Christmas pageant.
688
00:31:44,728 --> 00:31:46,750
I guess I did a good job
because it caught the attention
689
00:31:46,774 --> 00:31:48,080
of the prettiest girl in school.
690
00:31:52,867 --> 00:31:55,914
? The First Noel ?
691
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:01,093
? The Angels did say ?
692
00:32:02,964 --> 00:32:06,054
? Was to certain poor
shepherds ?
693
00:32:07,664 --> 00:32:10,798
? In fields where they lay ?
694
00:32:12,321 --> 00:32:15,934
? In fields where they lay ?
695
00:32:17,544 --> 00:32:20,764
? Keeping their sheep ?
696
00:32:23,158 --> 00:32:25,291
? On a cold winter's night ?
697
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,296
? That was so deep ?
698
00:32:32,037 --> 00:32:34,300
? Noel, Noel ?
699
00:32:36,867 --> 00:32:40,306
? Noel, Noel ?
700
00:32:42,656 --> 00:32:45,311
? Born is the King ?
701
00:32:47,008 --> 00:32:49,968
? Of Israel ?
702
00:32:51,795 --> 00:32:54,798
? They looked up ?
703
00:32:56,496 --> 00:32:58,802
? And saw a star ?
704
00:33:02,415 --> 00:33:04,088
Smokey Robinson used
to pop up all over town
705
00:33:04,112 --> 00:33:05,853
when I was a kid. Right?
706
00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:07,811
And now he's gone ghost.
707
00:33:07,898 --> 00:33:09,639
Sister Palmer saw him
in Greek Town.
708
00:33:09,726 --> 00:33:11,791
Mm-hmm, and Brother Perry
saw him at a Pistons game.
709
00:33:11,815 --> 00:33:14,296
So, he's just roaming around
Detroit like nobody's business?
710
00:33:14,383 --> 00:33:16,429
If anybody can find
Smokey Robinson,
711
00:33:16,516 --> 00:33:18,387
it's you and Eddie.
712
00:33:18,518 --> 00:33:20,824
Well Dad, it's not like
we haven't tried.
713
00:33:20,911 --> 00:33:22,522
He's always two steps
ahead of us.
714
00:33:22,609 --> 00:33:24,369
Well, you're four steps
behind Deaconess Jones.
715
00:33:24,393 --> 00:33:26,265
'Cause she's a ticket-selling
machine!
716
00:33:26,395 --> 00:33:28,112
Yeah, and if we don't
find Smokey, we might have
717
00:33:28,136 --> 00:33:29,833
to give back all that money
she brought in.
718
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,097
Okay, so what are we
supposed to do?
719
00:33:32,227 --> 00:33:35,491
Go to all of Smokey Robinson's
favorite places in Detroit
720
00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:37,189
hoping that we'll run into him?
721
00:33:38,755 --> 00:33:39,974
Yeah!
722
00:33:42,281 --> 00:33:44,283
We do sorta know his
favorite places in Detroit.
723
00:33:44,413 --> 00:33:46,502
Most of them are our
favorite places too.
724
00:33:49,418 --> 00:33:52,552
Lily, how would you like
to go on a little adventure
725
00:33:52,639 --> 00:33:55,207
with Eddie and me? Yay!
726
00:33:55,294 --> 00:33:57,861
All right.
727
00:33:57,948 --> 00:33:59,559
Let's go find Smokey.
728
00:33:59,646 --> 00:34:01,474
It's gonna take a miracle.
729
00:34:01,561 --> 00:34:03,389
A kid after my own heart.
730
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:05,652
I know exactly where to start.
731
00:34:05,782 --> 00:34:07,349
Hitsville!
732
00:34:09,003 --> 00:34:11,310
I can't believe we
missed Smokey and what's worse,
733
00:34:11,397 --> 00:34:13,529
I've been promising her
that we would come,
734
00:34:13,616 --> 00:34:16,750
but the one day we do,
it's closed.
735
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,520
I totally forgot
it's not open on Sundays.
736
00:34:18,621 --> 00:34:20,362
Yeah, me too.
737
00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:22,147
But I know what will
cheer her up.
738
00:34:23,757 --> 00:34:25,541
Let's go, kiddo!
739
00:34:27,282 --> 00:34:29,067
Hey! Wait for me!
740
00:34:32,418 --> 00:34:34,298
Don't worry, Lily,
we'll come back another time.
741
00:34:36,335 --> 00:34:38,163
This was "the" spot
in high school.
742
00:34:38,293 --> 00:34:39,293
Every Friday night.
743
00:34:41,253 --> 00:34:42,515
It's a yummy spot!
744
00:34:45,909 --> 00:34:48,062
Ham would devour four or five
of these in one sitting.
745
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,261
Mm-hmm.
746
00:34:51,306 --> 00:34:53,569
What else did you guys
like to do?
747
00:34:53,656 --> 00:34:56,746
Well, on a typical
Friday night...
748
00:34:56,833 --> 00:34:58,400
We'd start here... And then...
749
00:35:00,054 --> 00:35:02,056
What? Ah okay!
750
00:35:02,143 --> 00:35:03,381
I remember what came next!
Mm-hmm.
751
00:35:03,405 --> 00:35:05,842
What? Tell me!
752
00:35:05,973 --> 00:35:08,018
Might be more fun
if we show you. Hmm?
753
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,977
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay.
754
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:11,370
Come on, let's go. Let's go.
755
00:35:24,644 --> 00:35:26,689
I've never been skating before!
756
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,083
Oh, well, we might
have to add this
757
00:35:29,170 --> 00:35:30,737
to the list of our
Christmas traditions.
758
00:35:32,260 --> 00:35:34,088
Okay. There you go.
759
00:35:34,219 --> 00:35:37,265
So, how is New Orleans?
You like it?
760
00:35:37,352 --> 00:35:39,485
N'Awlins is cool.
I'm gonna go watch.
761
00:35:39,615 --> 00:35:41,139
But I... I miss Detroit.
762
00:35:43,010 --> 00:35:44,881
But not enough to come back.
763
00:35:45,012 --> 00:35:46,405
I thought about it a few times.
764
00:35:48,233 --> 00:35:50,278
Ah. I guess I was uh...
765
00:35:51,671 --> 00:35:53,629
I was scared.
766
00:35:53,716 --> 00:35:55,718
Of what?
767
00:35:55,805 --> 00:35:57,416
What I would find...
768
00:35:57,503 --> 00:35:59,331
or who I would find...
769
00:35:59,418 --> 00:36:01,985
with you.
770
00:36:02,072 --> 00:36:04,074
That sounds weird
after three years.
771
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:08,078
No. No weirder than me
trying to pry info from Ham
772
00:36:08,166 --> 00:36:11,038
or stalk your social media.
773
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,303
Neither of which
turned up a thing.
774
00:36:15,434 --> 00:36:16,674
Well, what do you wanna know?
775
00:36:18,611 --> 00:36:21,135
Okay. Did you find
what you were looking for?
776
00:36:23,355 --> 00:36:24,355
In some ways, yes.
777
00:36:26,401 --> 00:36:28,186
But...
778
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:29,709
I didn't find what I wanted.
779
00:36:31,798 --> 00:36:35,541
How do I look?
Oh. Perfect! Let's do this!
780
00:36:37,804 --> 00:36:39,604
Are we still gonna
look for Smokey Robinson?
781
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,808
Oh, of course.
782
00:36:41,938 --> 00:36:44,202
After you learn how to skate!
783
00:36:44,332 --> 00:36:45,899
Come on, let's go! Let's go.
784
00:36:52,427 --> 00:36:54,473
You got it? Yeah.
785
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,909
Woo-hoo!
786
00:36:57,476 --> 00:36:59,367
Yeah, so you put one foot
in front of the next.
787
00:36:59,391 --> 00:37:01,107
Just like that. Oh! Oh! Oh!
There you go. There you go.
788
00:37:01,131 --> 00:37:02,611
We're gonna go right over there.
789
00:37:02,698 --> 00:37:04,091
Okay, yeah.
790
00:37:06,615 --> 00:37:08,704
Yay! Yay!
791
00:37:08,791 --> 00:37:11,229
Good job! High five. High five!
792
00:37:11,316 --> 00:37:13,013
Oh yeah. Let me get one.
793
00:37:14,667 --> 00:37:16,756
? Silent night ?
794
00:37:18,148 --> 00:37:20,934
? Holy night ?
795
00:37:22,370 --> 00:37:24,416
? All is calm ?
796
00:37:26,766 --> 00:37:29,029
? And all is bright ?
797
00:37:31,074 --> 00:37:33,555
? Round yon virgin ?
798
00:37:34,904 --> 00:37:37,559
? Mother and child ?
799
00:37:38,865 --> 00:37:42,260
? Holy infant ?
800
00:37:42,347 --> 00:37:44,174
? So tender and mild ?
801
00:37:47,656 --> 00:37:51,704
? Sleep in heavenly peace ?
802
00:37:53,793 --> 00:37:55,751
? Ooh-ooh ?
803
00:37:55,838 --> 00:37:58,276
? Sleep in heavenly peace ?
804
00:38:03,324 --> 00:38:06,284
? Silent night ?
805
00:38:43,016 --> 00:38:44,844
She's knocked out.
806
00:38:44,974 --> 00:38:46,846
Ah, oh, busy day, right.
807
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:50,240
But uh, still no Smokey.
808
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:52,591
Yeah. Everybody's meeting
at the church tomorrow
809
00:38:52,678 --> 00:38:54,810
to build sets and decorate.
810
00:38:56,159 --> 00:38:58,858
Ugh, I know I'm gonna be
bombarded with questions.
811
00:38:58,988 --> 00:39:00,773
Well, I mean, I could,
I could come too.
812
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:03,079
I'll have your back.
813
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:06,474
Thanks. I... I appreciate that.
814
00:39:06,561 --> 00:39:08,433
Yeah. We're gonna find him.
815
00:39:08,563 --> 00:39:11,000
You know what everybody says...
If anybody can do it,
816
00:39:11,087 --> 00:39:12,915
Eddie and Amber can.
That's right.
817
00:39:17,267 --> 00:39:20,183
Well, I guess I better go.
818
00:39:23,491 --> 00:39:25,493
You know...
819
00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:26,900
even though we didn't
find Smokey,
820
00:39:28,278 --> 00:39:30,672
today was nice.
821
00:39:30,759 --> 00:39:32,239
Yeah, it was.
822
00:39:35,242 --> 00:39:37,287
Okay. I can see myself out.
823
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:39,681
Sweet dreams. Good night.
824
00:40:04,793 --> 00:40:06,249
Okay. Do we have enough material
825
00:40:06,273 --> 00:40:08,623
to make the rest of
the nativity costumes?
826
00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:10,514
Yes, your aunt took care
of that before she left.
827
00:40:10,538 --> 00:40:12,538
What about the wood
and the paint for the manger?
828
00:40:13,498 --> 00:40:15,064
Ha, perfect!
829
00:40:15,195 --> 00:40:17,023
We have to come up
with another plan.
830
00:40:17,110 --> 00:40:18,790
Maybe go for someone else
besides Smokey?
831
00:40:20,113 --> 00:40:22,245
We want Smokey.
We'll get Smokey.
832
00:40:22,332 --> 00:40:24,030
Okay. We'll figure
something out.
833
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,685
Root! Root!
834
00:40:26,815 --> 00:40:28,687
Attention, everyone!
835
00:40:28,774 --> 00:40:30,863
We have 100 seats left!
836
00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:32,952
And we've raised $2000
837
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:35,128
from online sales.
838
00:40:35,215 --> 00:40:37,870
And with the matching funds,
that takes us to $12,000!
839
00:40:40,176 --> 00:40:42,570
We're almost there!
840
00:40:42,657 --> 00:40:44,224
You see what you
would have missed
841
00:40:44,311 --> 00:40:45,921
if you stayed in New Orleans?
842
00:40:46,008 --> 00:40:48,010
Yeah.
843
00:40:48,097 --> 00:40:51,144
Guys. I just got an email
from Smokey's office!
844
00:40:51,231 --> 00:40:52,841
Yes! What does it say?
845
00:40:52,928 --> 00:40:55,211
Well, it's not his personal
email; I'm on the mailing list.
846
00:40:55,235 --> 00:40:57,455
Okay, so, what'd they say?
Guess who's kicking off
847
00:40:57,542 --> 00:40:59,500
the Twelve Days of Caroling
at the Mall?!
848
00:40:59,587 --> 00:41:01,328
No way! When? Today!
849
00:41:01,415 --> 00:41:02,721
What time? Now!
850
00:41:02,851 --> 00:41:04,766
Well at least 10 minutes ago.
851
00:41:04,853 --> 00:41:06,483
So, he's probably still
there. Let's go!
852
00:41:06,507 --> 00:41:08,466
Okay. Wait, wait, wait!
What about Lily!?
853
00:41:08,553 --> 00:41:10,337
We'll take care of Lily. Go!
Okay!
854
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:20,042
Ah, missed him again!
855
00:41:20,173 --> 00:41:22,436
He still should
be around, right?
856
00:41:22,567 --> 00:41:23,959
Let's check
the back parking lot!
857
00:41:24,090 --> 00:41:25,961
Oh, uh, this way! Right! Right.
858
00:41:28,268 --> 00:41:30,313
Here we go! We love you, Smokey!
859
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,795
We love you!
860
00:41:37,407 --> 00:41:40,410
It's always great to be home!
861
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:42,761
I see him.
He's talking to reporters.
862
00:41:42,848 --> 00:41:44,648
And I'm so grateful
for the love and support
863
00:41:44,763 --> 00:41:47,592
everyone has given me
all these years.
864
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:49,245
Wow, he looks awesome. Come on.
865
00:41:49,376 --> 00:41:51,204
There's no love
like Motown love.
866
00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:52,988
Welcome home, Smokey!
867
00:41:53,075 --> 00:41:54,729
Merry Christmas to you
and your families
868
00:41:54,860 --> 00:41:56,339
and have a happy,
happy New Year!
869
00:41:56,426 --> 00:41:59,473
Smokey! Smokey!
870
00:42:04,347 --> 00:42:06,567
Huh.
871
00:42:06,698 --> 00:42:08,438
Hmm.
872
00:42:15,141 --> 00:42:17,032
You know, I had a pretty
cool surprise for you,
873
00:42:17,056 --> 00:42:18,797
but I can see that you're
not in the mood
874
00:42:18,884 --> 00:42:20,929
for surprises right now.
875
00:42:21,016 --> 00:42:22,907
This is no time for jokes
Eddie. We need a plan B.
876
00:42:22,931 --> 00:42:25,020
I know. I know.
But in the meantime...
877
00:42:25,151 --> 00:42:27,675
What's this?
878
00:42:27,806 --> 00:42:29,392
You know, I was gonna
wait a couple of days but...
879
00:42:29,416 --> 00:42:30,809
you just look so pitiful so...
880
00:42:37,467 --> 00:42:39,818
Eddie. I...
881
00:42:39,905 --> 00:42:42,124
I can't believe you did this.
882
00:42:42,255 --> 00:42:44,387
Motown Museum?
883
00:42:44,518 --> 00:42:46,104
Lily looked so disappointed
the other day, you know,
884
00:42:46,128 --> 00:42:48,391
so, I just figured...
885
00:42:48,478 --> 00:42:51,351
Oh. That is so sweet.
886
00:42:51,438 --> 00:42:53,222
Thank you. You're welcome.
887
00:42:55,485 --> 00:42:57,923
Um, there's only two.
888
00:42:58,010 --> 00:42:59,683
Yeah, well, I didn't wanna
assume you know...
889
00:42:59,707 --> 00:43:01,796
Yeah. Of course. I mean, I...
890
00:43:01,927 --> 00:43:04,494
I mean, if you have
something else to do it's...
891
00:43:04,625 --> 00:43:06,801
No!
892
00:43:06,888 --> 00:43:09,282
Are you extending a formal
invitation? Because...
893
00:43:11,153 --> 00:43:13,416
if you are,
I wholeheartedly accept!
894
00:43:15,723 --> 00:43:18,683
So, what are the odds
Lily is gonna be stoked?
895
00:43:21,381 --> 00:43:23,775
Very stoked. Cool.
896
00:43:23,862 --> 00:43:25,341
Thank you. Good.
897
00:43:25,472 --> 00:43:27,213
You know, you're welcome.
It's gonna be fun.
898
00:43:34,699 --> 00:43:36,701
In 1959,
899
00:43:36,788 --> 00:43:38,964
Mr. Gordy Berry Jr.
Founded the record company
900
00:43:39,051 --> 00:43:40,748
that became "Motown".
901
00:43:40,835 --> 00:43:42,030
The exhibit gives a voice
902
00:43:42,054 --> 00:43:44,665
to how the power of music
inspired greatness,
903
00:43:44,796 --> 00:43:46,076
broke barriers
and united people.
904
00:43:48,016 --> 00:43:50,105
What does that mean?
905
00:43:50,192 --> 00:43:53,674
Motown was never
just about music.
906
00:43:53,761 --> 00:43:56,459
It's a celebration
907
00:43:56,546 --> 00:43:59,419
of Black culture, art and life.
908
00:43:59,506 --> 00:44:01,334
People everywhere, all races,
909
00:44:01,421 --> 00:44:03,510
from all over the world,
910
00:44:03,597 --> 00:44:05,957
still cherish the music that
was made in this very building.
911
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,168
Look, it's Smokey! Oh yeah.
912
00:44:09,255 --> 00:44:11,170
That's when he was playing
with The Miracles.
913
00:44:17,219 --> 00:44:18,873
? Da doo ?
914
00:44:30,058 --> 00:44:32,339
Right there is where our man,
Smokey Robinson, would sit
915
00:44:32,408 --> 00:44:34,368
while singers were jamming
right here in Studio A.
916
00:44:37,587 --> 00:44:39,807
Mommy Amber,
why do you and Eddie
917
00:44:39,894 --> 00:44:41,679
like Smokey Robinson so much?
918
00:44:43,158 --> 00:44:45,291
Well, um, Eddie and I,
919
00:44:45,378 --> 00:44:47,467
we met in middle school.
920
00:44:47,597 --> 00:44:51,427
I was on a committee to help
organize a Christmas pageant.
921
00:44:51,514 --> 00:44:53,255
I was in the school choir.
922
00:44:53,386 --> 00:44:55,257
The choir director asked
Eddie to sing
923
00:44:55,388 --> 00:44:57,172
"The First Noel"
for the pageant...
924
00:44:57,259 --> 00:44:58,957
That's the song
you sang at church!
925
00:44:59,044 --> 00:45:00,741
Yeah, but I told her
I would only do it
926
00:45:00,872 --> 00:45:02,371
if I could sing Smokey
Robinson's version
927
00:45:02,395 --> 00:45:03,657
of the Motown Christmas album?
928
00:45:03,788 --> 00:45:05,572
Which I loved
929
00:45:05,659 --> 00:45:07,617
because my parents they played
it all the time?
930
00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:08,905
Amber heard me rehearsing...
931
00:45:10,446 --> 00:45:12,710
And we bonded over Smokey...
932
00:45:12,797 --> 00:45:14,320
And you fell in love!
933
00:45:18,977 --> 00:45:20,587
Come on...
934
00:45:38,518 --> 00:45:40,128
I hope you two had a good time?
935
00:45:40,215 --> 00:45:41,826
It was the best day ever!
936
00:45:41,913 --> 00:45:43,741
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
937
00:45:43,828 --> 00:45:46,569
I wanna sing like you
and the Motown singers one day.
938
00:45:46,656 --> 00:45:48,223
You're gonna be better
than all of us.
939
00:45:50,008 --> 00:45:51,487
Oh! Oh!
940
00:45:51,574 --> 00:45:54,099
Eh. Eh. Oh.
941
00:45:56,275 --> 00:45:57,624
Aww.
942
00:46:00,192 --> 00:46:02,020
Wow! A 10-year-old
who appreciates Motown.
943
00:46:02,107 --> 00:46:03,673
You hit the jackpot, Amber.
944
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:04,762
Tell me about it.
945
00:46:07,112 --> 00:46:09,418
What?
946
00:46:09,505 --> 00:46:12,813
You just seem like a proud mama.
947
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:14,780
You know, sometimes
I forget she's not my kid.
948
00:46:17,035 --> 00:46:18,835
If I ever had any doubts
about being a mother,
949
00:46:20,342 --> 00:46:22,040
she's erased them all.
950
00:46:23,693 --> 00:46:25,260
Well...
951
00:46:26,827 --> 00:46:29,438
So I'll talk to you tomorrow?
952
00:46:32,659 --> 00:46:34,269
Night! Night.
953
00:46:39,144 --> 00:46:40,667
Hmm.
954
00:46:44,889 --> 00:46:47,021
Yeah, and guess what,
955
00:46:47,108 --> 00:46:49,110
we even saw where they recorded
songs and stuff,
956
00:46:49,241 --> 00:46:50,982
Grandpa Dupont! It was lit!
957
00:46:56,465 --> 00:46:58,728
Hello?
958
00:46:58,816 --> 00:47:00,513
Hey. I'm good, how about you?
959
00:47:02,471 --> 00:47:04,299
Um, sure, no problem. What's up?
960
00:47:06,301 --> 00:47:08,956
The Baileys. Yeah.
961
00:47:09,087 --> 00:47:11,132
I think they considered
adoption...
962
00:47:15,528 --> 00:47:17,530
They want to adopt Lily?
963
00:47:24,754 --> 00:47:27,453
Dear God, please bless
my awesome family -
964
00:47:28,976 --> 00:47:30,630
Mommy Amber,
965
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,501
Grandpa Dupont,
966
00:47:32,588 --> 00:47:34,373
Aunt Nicole,
967
00:47:35,591 --> 00:47:37,855
Uncle Ham,
968
00:47:37,942 --> 00:47:40,727
Eddie, and everyone
at Mt. Joy Church
969
00:47:42,598 --> 00:47:44,862
and please bless Mom and Dad
in Heaven.
970
00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:48,039
Amen.
971
00:47:51,172 --> 00:47:53,435
Good night.
972
00:47:53,566 --> 00:47:55,742
Oh, and God,
973
00:47:55,873 --> 00:47:57,962
I know Mommy Amber
isn't my real mommy,
974
00:47:58,049 --> 00:48:01,356
but if You get a chance
to give me a new mommy,
975
00:48:01,443 --> 00:48:03,968
please make her just
like Mommy Amber.
976
00:48:04,098 --> 00:48:05,883
Amen.
977
00:48:23,813 --> 00:48:25,859
Good night. Good night.
978
00:48:42,441 --> 00:48:44,269
What's up, Kiddo?
979
00:48:44,356 --> 00:48:46,271
Every house on the block
is decorated outside
980
00:48:46,358 --> 00:48:48,316
except for ours. Oh.
981
00:48:48,447 --> 00:48:50,536
I know, Sweetie.
982
00:48:50,666 --> 00:48:52,706
Look, as soon as I get this
Smokey Robinson stuff...
983
00:48:54,235 --> 00:48:56,803
plus, we can't put up all those
Christmas lights ourselves.
984
00:48:56,890 --> 00:48:58,326
We need help.
985
00:49:06,595 --> 00:49:08,771
Uh, somebody order some elves
986
00:49:08,858 --> 00:49:10,643
for a little Christmas
decorating?
987
00:49:10,773 --> 00:49:12,123
Surprise!
988
00:49:14,212 --> 00:49:16,083
? Baby we... ?
989
00:49:16,170 --> 00:49:17,476
? I'll be there for Christmas ?
990
00:49:19,652 --> 00:49:21,523
? Ooh ooh ooh ?
991
00:49:21,654 --> 00:49:24,700
? I said, I'll be there
for Christmas ?
992
00:49:27,790 --> 00:49:31,577
? Baby, baby,
I'll soon be on my way ?
993
00:49:31,664 --> 00:49:34,493
? Yeah, I'm comin',
I'm comin' your way ?
994
00:49:34,580 --> 00:49:36,756
High five.
995
00:49:36,843 --> 00:49:38,888
? Baby, hitch a ride
on Santa's sleigh ?
996
00:49:39,019 --> 00:49:41,108
One, two, three...
997
00:49:41,195 --> 00:49:43,110
Wooo! Yay!
998
00:49:44,764 --> 00:49:46,524
Rev. So what's left to
do for the pageant, baby girl?
999
00:49:46,548 --> 00:49:48,507
Anything I can help you with?
Nope.
1000
00:49:48,637 --> 00:49:50,197
Everything is pretty much
under control.
1001
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,121
We do need someone to dress up
like Santa though.
1002
00:49:56,863 --> 00:49:58,821
Again.
1003
00:49:58,908 --> 00:50:01,346
Oh, come on. Come on, guys.
1004
00:50:01,433 --> 00:50:03,826
I mean you have been getting
in shape all year, babe.
1005
00:50:03,957 --> 00:50:05,872
Ooh.
1006
00:50:16,491 --> 00:50:17,884
Hmm... Oh wow.
1007
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:23,939
Well, I would get the
smallest stocking, right?
1008
00:50:33,247 --> 00:50:34,857
I hope you had a good time.
1009
00:50:34,944 --> 00:50:36,337
Oh my gosh, always. Aww.
1010
00:50:36,424 --> 00:50:38,035
Drew. Take care, brother.
Be safe.
1011
00:50:38,122 --> 00:50:39,514
Aw, bye Daddy, I love you.
1012
00:50:39,645 --> 00:50:40,863
I love you, Sweetheart.
1013
00:50:42,822 --> 00:50:45,129
Young man. Yes, yes.
1014
00:50:45,216 --> 00:50:47,305
Always good to see you.
Always good to see you too.
1015
00:50:51,352 --> 00:50:52,851
Who wants to help me finish
the shoe boxes?
1016
00:50:58,533 --> 00:51:00,493
I'm glad you came to Detroit
for Christmas, Eddie.
1017
00:51:01,406 --> 00:51:03,451
Me too.
1018
00:51:03,538 --> 00:51:05,618
I'll bet your mommy and daddy
are happy to see you.
1019
00:51:07,107 --> 00:51:08,978
Well, my mommy and daddy um,
1020
00:51:09,066 --> 00:51:10,371
they're in the military
1021
00:51:10,502 --> 00:51:12,547
and they retired overseas
1022
00:51:12,634 --> 00:51:14,723
so I don't get to see them
that much.
1023
00:51:14,810 --> 00:51:16,986
We moved around a lot
when I was a kid.
1024
00:51:17,074 --> 00:51:18,597
Where did you spend Christmases?
1025
00:51:19,946 --> 00:51:21,358
So many different places
I can't remember.
1026
00:51:21,382 --> 00:51:24,255
But it's nice to have a place
to hang my stocking this year.
1027
00:51:27,562 --> 00:51:29,434
Hey.
1028
00:51:29,521 --> 00:51:31,412
Hey, I bet you didn't know
my uncle played guitar
1029
00:51:31,436 --> 00:51:33,177
for Smokey Robinson.
1030
00:51:33,264 --> 00:51:36,093
No way! Yes way!
1031
00:51:36,180 --> 00:51:38,443
He used to drag me around
to all of his
1032
00:51:38,530 --> 00:51:40,575
rehearsals and gigs.
I saw Smokey all the time.
1033
00:51:40,662 --> 00:51:42,031
All right you two,
it's getting late.
1034
00:51:42,055 --> 00:51:44,666
It's time for this one
to go to bed.
1035
00:51:44,753 --> 00:51:48,061
Awww mannnn! Well, come here.
1036
00:51:48,148 --> 00:51:49,715
I'll come in
and tuck you in, okay?
1037
00:51:49,802 --> 00:51:51,195
Okay. All right.
1038
00:51:55,199 --> 00:51:56,200
Oh...
1039
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,117
She's the best.
1040
00:52:04,773 --> 00:52:05,948
Hey.
1041
00:52:08,777 --> 00:52:10,475
Hey.
1042
00:52:10,605 --> 00:52:12,129
You wanna tell me
what's going on?
1043
00:52:17,786 --> 00:52:19,484
For months,
1044
00:52:19,571 --> 00:52:21,877
I waited for the right family
to come along.
1045
00:52:21,964 --> 00:52:23,444
And these people are that?
1046
00:52:23,531 --> 00:52:25,838
Definitely.
1047
00:52:25,925 --> 00:52:28,623
They would make a great
family for Lily.
1048
00:52:28,710 --> 00:52:30,277
But you don't want
to let her go.
1049
00:52:30,364 --> 00:52:32,149
I want what's best for her.
1050
00:52:32,236 --> 00:52:34,063
What about what's best for you?
1051
00:52:34,151 --> 00:52:35,717
Can you see yourself
without her?
1052
00:52:37,763 --> 00:52:39,883
I can't believe I'm having
this conversation with you.
1053
00:52:39,939 --> 00:52:41,680
We never saw eye-to-eye
on stuff like this.
1054
00:52:41,767 --> 00:52:43,807
It doesn't mean that I don't
want you to be happy.
1055
00:52:46,859 --> 00:52:49,122
Look, I had a vision
for my life.
1056
00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:51,037
And so did you.
1057
00:52:51,124 --> 00:52:53,170
You can have all these
hopes and dreams, right?
1058
00:52:54,823 --> 00:52:56,564
And you think they're meant
for you,
1059
00:52:56,695 --> 00:52:58,935
but they don't always work out
the way you envision them.
1060
00:53:00,525 --> 00:53:03,528
"In his heart a man plans
his course,"
1061
00:53:05,791 --> 00:53:08,881
"but the Lord determines
his steps."
1062
00:53:10,274 --> 00:53:11,840
Exactly, Rev. Dupont.
1063
00:53:15,322 --> 00:53:18,064
You and I broke up twice -
1064
00:53:18,151 --> 00:53:20,311
because we saw our lives going
in different directions.
1065
00:53:22,155 --> 00:53:23,548
But here I am,
back here with you.
1066
00:53:30,294 --> 00:53:32,296
Mommy Amber...
1067
00:53:32,426 --> 00:53:34,863
I can't sleep.
1068
00:53:36,952 --> 00:53:39,259
I keep thinking about my solo.
1069
00:53:39,346 --> 00:53:41,783
I think I need some
professional help.
1070
00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:44,133
It's a little late, Honey.
Are you kidding?!
1071
00:53:44,264 --> 00:53:46,005
My voice gets better
after 10 p.m..
1072
00:53:46,135 --> 00:53:47,354
Come here, little Smokey.
1073
00:53:51,402 --> 00:53:53,926
All right. Okay, so.
1074
00:53:56,015 --> 00:53:58,060
The first thing a singer
must do,
1075
00:53:58,191 --> 00:54:00,082
is think about the meaning of
the words that she's singing.
1076
00:54:00,106 --> 00:54:02,195
Okay?
1077
00:54:02,282 --> 00:54:04,284
Do you know what "Silent Night"
is about?
1078
00:54:04,371 --> 00:54:05,894
It's about the night
Jesus was born.
1079
00:54:05,981 --> 00:54:07,592
That's right.
1080
00:54:07,722 --> 00:54:09,376
The night Mary became a mom.
1081
00:54:14,903 --> 00:54:16,427
What is with you?
1082
00:54:20,474 --> 00:54:22,084
Eddie and I kissed last night.
1083
00:54:23,695 --> 00:54:25,392
Yessss! What?
1084
00:54:29,353 --> 00:54:30,753
Do you think he's changed,
Nicole?
1085
00:54:31,833 --> 00:54:33,705
Do you?
1086
00:54:33,835 --> 00:54:34,967
Well, I don't know.
1087
00:54:36,229 --> 00:54:37,970
I mean he,
1088
00:54:38,057 --> 00:54:39,798
he says he's the same guy,
1089
00:54:39,885 --> 00:54:42,714
but in some ways,
he seems different.
1090
00:54:45,543 --> 00:54:47,543
I still think we want
different things out of life.
1091
00:54:49,068 --> 00:54:52,245
Then how come you haven't
had any of them
1092
00:54:52,332 --> 00:54:53,638
after all these years?
1093
00:54:55,727 --> 00:54:59,034
Look, every time you guys
try to do life on your own,
1094
00:54:59,121 --> 00:55:00,993
you end up right back here.
1095
00:55:02,429 --> 00:55:04,349
Face it, Girl, you and Eddie
are better together.
1096
00:55:05,998 --> 00:55:07,347
Everybody says that?
1097
00:55:07,478 --> 00:55:09,262
Because it's true.
1098
00:55:12,570 --> 00:55:15,616
When Eddie and I split up
three years ago,
1099
00:55:15,703 --> 00:55:17,966
we knew it was for good.
1100
00:55:18,053 --> 00:55:19,794
We agreed to be friends
1101
00:55:19,881 --> 00:55:21,492
so we moved on with our lives.
1102
00:55:24,103 --> 00:55:26,497
And uh, kissing
is how you move on?
1103
00:55:31,240 --> 00:55:33,200
What do you want me to do
for the party tonight?
1104
00:55:33,286 --> 00:55:35,549
Oh, so we're changing
the subject now?
1105
00:55:35,636 --> 00:55:37,595
I see.
1106
00:55:39,205 --> 00:55:40,859
I just want you to show up,
Honey.
1107
00:55:40,946 --> 00:55:45,298
I want you and Eddie
to hang out, talk, dance,
1108
00:55:45,385 --> 00:55:48,867
and maybe figure out
what is going on
1109
00:55:48,954 --> 00:55:50,521
between the two of you finally.
1110
00:56:18,810 --> 00:56:20,638
Can I offer you a glass
of egg nog?
1111
00:56:22,248 --> 00:56:23,902
I like your sweater.
1112
00:56:24,032 --> 00:56:25,991
Thank you.
1113
00:56:26,078 --> 00:56:28,080
I have a confession to make.
1114
00:56:29,298 --> 00:56:30,909
I stalked you
on social media too.
1115
00:56:32,214 --> 00:56:34,042
Really? Yeah.
1116
00:56:34,173 --> 00:56:36,044
And I asked Ham about you.
1117
00:56:36,131 --> 00:56:37,698
When?
1118
00:56:37,785 --> 00:56:39,744
Every time I talked to him.
1119
00:56:41,310 --> 00:56:43,530
So, what do you want to know?
1120
00:56:45,097 --> 00:56:46,838
I want to know everything:
1121
00:56:46,925 --> 00:56:50,276
Are you happy?
Was there anyone after me?
1122
00:56:50,363 --> 00:56:52,670
Did you ever fall in love again?
1123
00:56:52,757 --> 00:56:54,541
What did Ham say?
1124
00:56:54,628 --> 00:56:57,936
I'm interested in
what you have to say.
1125
00:57:00,155 --> 00:57:02,897
Did I date? Yes.
1126
00:57:04,159 --> 00:57:06,205
Fall in love? No.
1127
00:57:12,733 --> 00:57:15,736
Amber about last night
when we...
1128
00:57:15,867 --> 00:57:17,912
Hey! No way.
1129
00:57:18,043 --> 00:57:19,958
This is our song! Ooh!
1130
00:57:20,045 --> 00:57:21,936
Remember when they played it
at the Christmas pageant
1131
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,614
and then everybody started
slow dancing?
1132
00:57:23,701 --> 00:57:25,746
No, Ham, you and I started
dancing
1133
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:27,420
and then Eddie and Amber joined
in because they were all,
1134
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:28,464
"why are they slow dancing
to a Christmas carol?"
1135
00:57:28,488 --> 00:57:30,142
Right.
1136
00:57:30,272 --> 00:57:33,450
Well, Mrs. Jones...
1137
00:57:33,537 --> 00:57:36,801
? And heaven and nature sing ?
1138
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:40,326
? And heaven and nature sing
Shall we?
1139
00:57:40,413 --> 00:57:44,548
? Joy... ?
1140
00:57:44,678 --> 00:57:47,812
? Joy...
1141
00:57:47,899 --> 00:57:49,727
? Joy ?
1142
00:57:50,902 --> 00:57:53,948
? Joy ?
1143
00:57:56,995 --> 00:57:58,562
It was so much fun.
Thank you so much.
1144
00:57:58,649 --> 00:58:00,607
Oh, thank you for coming.
1145
00:58:00,738 --> 00:58:02,740
Ah, thank you. Amber.
1146
00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:04,761
The food was incredible.
I'm glad you enjoyed.
1147
00:58:04,785 --> 00:58:06,787
Aw. Bye guys. Okay.
1148
00:58:06,874 --> 00:58:08,615
Bye. Merry Christmas. Be safe.
1149
00:58:10,965 --> 00:58:13,838
So um, you started to say
something earlier.
1150
00:58:16,580 --> 00:58:19,234
Uh, no I was just gonna
say that uh,
1151
00:58:19,321 --> 00:58:21,081
a buddy of mine told me
that Smokey showed up
1152
00:58:21,149 --> 00:58:23,069
for a charitable event
in Lansing last Christmas.
1153
00:58:24,457 --> 00:58:26,198
He just popped in
and surprised them.
1154
00:58:26,285 --> 00:58:28,287
Oh, so he totally does
this kinda stuff?
1155
00:58:28,374 --> 00:58:29,288
Totally! Yeah.
1156
00:58:29,375 --> 00:58:32,117
We're gonna find him. I know it!
1157
00:58:32,247 --> 00:58:33,945
Oh, Smokey is no match for us.
1158
00:58:34,075 --> 00:58:35,686
Ooh.
1159
00:58:37,992 --> 00:58:39,341
Good night, Eddie. Night.
1160
00:58:43,781 --> 00:58:45,522
Thank you. Yeah.
1161
00:58:53,181 --> 00:58:54,879
Yeah.
1162
00:58:54,966 --> 00:58:56,489
Okay.
1163
00:58:57,664 --> 00:58:58,926
All right.
1164
00:58:59,013 --> 00:59:00,537
Oh.
1165
00:59:02,016 --> 00:59:04,279
Great party, man. Thanks, man.
1166
00:59:10,024 --> 00:59:12,070
Hey, man.
1167
00:59:15,073 --> 00:59:16,901
What?
1168
00:59:16,988 --> 00:59:18,555
No, no, no I definitely,
definitely...
1169
00:59:23,908 --> 00:59:25,562
Uh...
1170
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:28,844
listen, can,
can I call you back?
1171
00:59:32,220 --> 00:59:34,100
Yeah, no, no for sure,
I-I'll let you know ASAP.
1172
00:59:36,529 --> 00:59:38,183
Yeah, thanks, man.
1173
00:59:38,270 --> 00:59:39,532
I-I'll call you later.
1174
00:59:44,363 --> 00:59:45,949
I just got offered to go
on a world tour.
1175
00:59:45,973 --> 00:59:47,975
What?
1176
00:59:48,106 --> 00:59:49,779
Yeah! This guitarist
that I've filled in for,
1177
00:59:49,803 --> 00:59:51,500
he's calling it quits,
1178
00:59:51,588 --> 00:59:53,894
and he wants me to be his
permanent replacement.
1179
00:59:53,981 --> 00:59:55,504
The tour starts
in a couple weeks.
1180
00:59:55,635 --> 00:59:57,289
Dude!
1181
00:59:58,769 --> 00:59:59,789
This is what you've been
waiting for!
1182
00:59:59,813 --> 01:00:01,336
Yeah, totally!
1183
01:00:01,467 --> 01:00:03,034
Wow.
1184
01:00:04,862 --> 01:00:07,778
So I guess you'll be taking
off again, huh?
1185
01:00:07,865 --> 01:00:09,954
Yeah.
1186
01:00:10,041 --> 01:00:11,782
This is like deja vu
all over again.
1187
01:00:11,869 --> 01:00:14,349
Yeah, but this time
it's not just me chasing
1188
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,351
a pipe dream, Ham!
This is a real offer,
1189
01:00:16,482 --> 01:00:18,266
this is a real break!
1190
01:00:18,353 --> 01:00:19,790
No, I know, I know, I know.
1191
01:00:21,008 --> 01:00:23,228
No. I'm, I'm happy for you,
brother!
1192
01:00:29,756 --> 01:00:30,777
So I've called, I've text,
1193
01:00:30,801 --> 01:00:32,237
and I've e-mailed everyone
I know
1194
01:00:32,367 --> 01:00:33,238
who might even have
the slightest connection
1195
01:00:33,368 --> 01:00:35,240
to Smokey Robinson. And?
1196
01:00:35,370 --> 01:00:37,808
All those people who claim
to be his best friend
1197
01:00:37,938 --> 01:00:40,854
or his uncle's cousin's
neighbor -
1198
01:00:40,985 --> 01:00:42,682
yeah, well, they don't know him.
1199
01:00:42,769 --> 01:00:44,684
Figures.
1200
01:00:44,771 --> 01:00:47,382
I reached out to a few people
too and no luck.
1201
01:00:47,469 --> 01:00:49,469
I really appreciate you
getting back to me, J.J..
1202
01:00:51,038 --> 01:00:52,358
Yeah, yeah,
it's been a long time.
1203
01:00:52,387 --> 01:00:53,606
How's the family?
1204
01:00:54,868 --> 01:00:56,740
Good.
1205
01:00:56,827 --> 01:00:58,611
Hey listen,
I-I hear Smokey's in town...
1206
01:01:00,352 --> 01:01:01,745
What's next?
1207
01:01:01,832 --> 01:01:05,009
What if I figure out
where he's staying
1208
01:01:05,139 --> 01:01:07,185
and, you know, casually show up?
1209
01:01:08,577 --> 01:01:10,710
There are laws against
stalking, you know.
1210
01:01:10,841 --> 01:01:12,538
What's your point?
1211
01:01:15,889 --> 01:01:17,674
Yep, those were good times,
J.J., yeah.
1212
01:01:19,284 --> 01:01:21,460
No, I'm...
1213
01:01:21,590 --> 01:01:23,525
I-I'm not sure what the next
move is. Hey listen...
1214
01:01:23,549 --> 01:01:25,943
back to Smokey,
you wouldn't happen to know
1215
01:01:26,073 --> 01:01:28,273
how to get in touch with him
while he's here, would you?
1216
01:01:29,468 --> 01:01:31,252
Hey, you know what,
1217
01:01:31,383 --> 01:01:33,187
I gotta take this call.
I'll talk to you later.
1218
01:01:33,211 --> 01:01:34,473
Sure. Okay.
1219
01:01:35,735 --> 01:01:37,563
Hello, this is Amber.
1220
01:01:39,130 --> 01:01:42,699
Oh yes, I called about my
church, Mt. Joy in Detroit.
1221
01:01:45,092 --> 01:01:46,920
Right, right.
1222
01:01:47,007 --> 01:01:49,793
Um, any changes in
Mr. Robinson's availability?
1223
01:01:51,751 --> 01:01:53,579
Attention everyone!
1224
01:01:53,666 --> 01:01:55,450
I am very happy to report,
1225
01:01:55,537 --> 01:01:57,670
that we are completely sold out!
1226
01:01:57,757 --> 01:01:58,976
Congratulations!
1227
01:02:08,942 --> 01:02:10,596
People are coming here
1228
01:02:10,683 --> 01:02:13,077
expecting to see a Motown Great.
1229
01:02:13,164 --> 01:02:15,079
Every time we thought
we had Smokey
1230
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:17,168
he just slipped through
our fingers.
1231
01:02:17,255 --> 01:02:19,823
I never should have promised
I'd get him.
1232
01:02:19,910 --> 01:02:21,694
What was I thinking?
1233
01:02:22,956 --> 01:02:24,673
How long has this church
been here, Amber?
1234
01:02:24,697 --> 01:02:26,177
A hundred years.
1235
01:02:26,264 --> 01:02:28,266
And in that hundred years,
1236
01:02:28,353 --> 01:02:30,007
do you think we've never
had a setback?
1237
01:02:31,443 --> 01:02:33,706
Maybe once or twice.
1238
01:02:35,273 --> 01:02:37,405
Yet, here we are.
1239
01:02:37,492 --> 01:02:40,278
Honey, the pageant
will be wonderful
1240
01:02:40,365 --> 01:02:42,715
with or without Smokey Robinson
1241
01:02:42,802 --> 01:02:45,152
and Christmas will still
be Christmas
1242
01:02:45,283 --> 01:02:47,720
even if we didn't have
a pageant,
1243
01:02:47,807 --> 01:02:49,678
or sing a song or wrap a gift.
1244
01:02:49,766 --> 01:02:51,550
Well, what about our roof?
1245
01:02:51,637 --> 01:02:54,422
I'm betting it'll last
a few more months.
1246
01:02:56,555 --> 01:02:58,905
Thanks for making me feel
better Dad, but...
1247
01:02:58,992 --> 01:03:01,038
I'm just telling you
what's true.
1248
01:03:01,125 --> 01:03:02,779
You know what else is true?
1249
01:03:04,084 --> 01:03:05,912
I'm proud of you -
1250
01:03:05,999 --> 01:03:08,741
not just for making
your two weeks count,
1251
01:03:08,872 --> 01:03:10,743
but for making your life count.
1252
01:03:12,527 --> 01:03:14,965
This pageant comes once a year,
1253
01:03:15,095 --> 01:03:17,794
but what you do everyday
for Lily,
1254
01:03:19,404 --> 01:03:21,798
Honey, that's the stuff
that matters.
1255
01:03:23,016 --> 01:03:24,496
Thanks, Dad.
1256
01:03:26,150 --> 01:03:28,369
You know having her around
makes me feel...
1257
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:30,154
complete.
1258
01:03:32,286 --> 01:03:34,206
I totally get what mom meant
when she used to say
1259
01:03:34,288 --> 01:03:37,074
mother's always think twice.
1260
01:03:37,204 --> 01:03:39,119
Once for themselves...
1261
01:03:39,250 --> 01:03:41,121
And once for her child.
1262
01:03:43,515 --> 01:03:44,995
Now, get over there,
1263
01:03:46,953 --> 01:03:48,607
and get back to working
on your pageant.
1264
01:03:51,218 --> 01:03:52,785
Thanks, Dad.
1265
01:03:57,094 --> 01:04:00,314
All right, Nicole,
let's get started.
1266
01:04:02,099 --> 01:04:05,667
? Silent night ?
1267
01:04:05,754 --> 01:04:09,541
? Holy night ?
1268
01:04:09,628 --> 01:04:13,066
? All is calm ?
1269
01:04:13,153 --> 01:04:16,722
? All is bright ?
1270
01:04:16,809 --> 01:04:19,333
? You know it's driving
me crazy ?
1271
01:04:19,420 --> 01:04:21,683
? Just being away from you ?
1272
01:04:24,948 --> 01:04:27,559
? It's getting colder
and Babe... ?
1273
01:04:27,646 --> 01:04:30,127
? I don't want
the winter blues ?
1274
01:04:32,651 --> 01:04:35,219
Is it just me or is it twice
as many as you made last year.
1275
01:04:36,568 --> 01:04:38,396
Yes. Unfortunately,
1276
01:04:38,483 --> 01:04:40,702
the children's home
has more kids now.
1277
01:04:47,535 --> 01:04:49,383
You didn't invite me over
here just to eat and bake,
1278
01:04:49,407 --> 01:04:50,887
did you?
1279
01:05:00,635 --> 01:05:02,811
You know, ever since Eddie
and I broke up,
1280
01:05:02,899 --> 01:05:04,857
I've been waiting for the right
man to come along
1281
01:05:04,988 --> 01:05:06,903
for me to start a family.
1282
01:05:08,382 --> 01:05:10,602
I had this idea in my head
1283
01:05:11,951 --> 01:05:14,214
of the perfect person,
1284
01:05:14,345 --> 01:05:15,912
the perfect kid...
1285
01:05:17,522 --> 01:05:19,176
so I waited.
1286
01:05:19,263 --> 01:05:22,353
But, finally, the perfect
person is here,
1287
01:05:24,311 --> 01:05:26,183
and she is the sweetest,
1288
01:05:27,662 --> 01:05:29,403
precious person
1289
01:05:29,490 --> 01:05:31,188
I have ever seen.
1290
01:05:33,581 --> 01:05:36,193
She's the right person, Dad,
1291
01:05:38,238 --> 01:05:39,718
and so am I.
1292
01:05:41,546 --> 01:05:43,896
So, are you saying
what I think...
1293
01:05:45,245 --> 01:05:46,899
what I hope you're saying?
1294
01:05:48,509 --> 01:05:50,772
I'm saying...
1295
01:05:50,903 --> 01:05:53,210
my eyes light up when I see her.
1296
01:05:54,559 --> 01:05:57,388
I'm saying I live for her smile
1297
01:05:57,518 --> 01:05:58,955
and...
1298
01:06:00,782 --> 01:06:02,959
I gush over every little thing
she does.
1299
01:06:04,525 --> 01:06:06,963
I will give my very last
1300
01:06:07,093 --> 01:06:09,617
to make life easier for her.
1301
01:06:11,489 --> 01:06:13,230
I want her to know that,
1302
01:06:13,317 --> 01:06:15,101
that she has a home,
1303
01:06:15,188 --> 01:06:16,508
and I want her home
to be with me.
1304
01:06:17,799 --> 01:06:18,931
So yes, Dad,
1305
01:06:20,193 --> 01:06:22,108
I am saying I am ready
1306
01:06:22,239 --> 01:06:24,415
to be Lily's mom.
1307
01:06:28,375 --> 01:06:30,377
And I'm saying...
1308
01:06:30,508 --> 01:06:32,249
you already are.
1309
01:06:32,379 --> 01:06:34,686
Aw...
1310
01:06:34,773 --> 01:06:36,340
Me too, Dad.
1311
01:06:41,345 --> 01:06:43,347
I'm gonna need your help,
you know!
1312
01:06:43,434 --> 01:06:46,089
Sweetheart,
you got a whole village.
1313
01:06:50,093 --> 01:06:51,746
Wait 'til I tell my sister
1314
01:06:51,877 --> 01:06:53,792
she won't be the only one
having grand babies!
1315
01:06:57,317 --> 01:06:59,276
Oh, Dad.
1316
01:07:04,368 --> 01:07:06,457
Last card.
1317
01:07:06,544 --> 01:07:08,285
Miss a turn.
1318
01:07:08,415 --> 01:07:10,635
I win.
1319
01:07:11,940 --> 01:07:13,507
I never win at this game.
1320
01:07:13,638 --> 01:07:15,031
You guys are just bad. Hmm.
1321
01:07:18,034 --> 01:07:20,949
Hello? Hey, J.J..
1322
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:22,600
Please tell me
you have some good news.
1323
01:07:25,128 --> 01:07:27,043
Are you for real?
Okay, I'm on my way.
1324
01:07:29,567 --> 01:07:31,699
J.J., the trumpet player,
my-my uncle's buddy?
1325
01:07:31,786 --> 01:07:33,025
He's with Smokey Robinson
right now!
1326
01:07:33,049 --> 01:07:34,659
What?!
1327
01:07:34,746 --> 01:07:36,574
I gotta call Amber!
1328
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,578
Come on, pick up! Dude! Dude!
1329
01:07:42,362 --> 01:07:44,277
Dude, why don't you
surprise her?
1330
01:07:44,408 --> 01:07:46,627
Go meet Smokey,
convince him to show up bam!
1331
01:07:46,714 --> 01:07:48,034
You're the hero.
Be a hero, Eddie.
1332
01:07:48,107 --> 01:07:49,587
I gotta go.
1333
01:07:55,593 --> 01:07:57,682
I can't thank you enough
for this J.J..
1334
01:07:57,769 --> 01:07:59,205
Anything for family.
1335
01:07:59,292 --> 01:08:02,252
There he is? The man himself.
1336
01:08:14,133 --> 01:08:15,743
Mr. Robinson?
1337
01:08:15,830 --> 01:08:17,180
Hey.
1338
01:08:19,182 --> 01:08:21,097
Great to see you.
1339
01:08:21,227 --> 01:08:22,465
You know you better
call me Smokey.
1340
01:08:22,489 --> 01:08:24,056
Right.
1341
01:08:24,187 --> 01:08:26,058
J.J. told me you were coming.
1342
01:08:26,189 --> 01:08:27,589
Have a seat.
Sure yeah, thank you.
1343
01:08:28,843 --> 01:08:30,932
Acer Root's nephew. Yeah.
1344
01:08:31,063 --> 01:08:32,954
Man, I remember when you used
to be running around the studio
1345
01:08:32,978 --> 01:08:34,782
picking up every instrument
you could get your hands on.
1346
01:08:34,806 --> 01:08:36,982
You do? You remember me?
Oh yeah.
1347
01:08:37,113 --> 01:08:38,636
You were pretty good
for a youngster.
1348
01:08:38,766 --> 01:08:40,681
Oh, thank you.
I miss your uncle, man.
1349
01:08:40,812 --> 01:08:42,335
Hell of a guitar player.
1350
01:08:42,466 --> 01:08:44,729
Yeah. Yeah, he uh,
1351
01:08:44,816 --> 01:08:47,123
he taught me everything I know.
Yeah.
1352
01:08:47,210 --> 01:08:49,212
J.J. told me about your
church fundraiser.
1353
01:08:49,342 --> 01:08:50,909
Yeah, yeah, Mt. Joy!
1354
01:08:50,996 --> 01:08:52,389
Mr. Robinson...
1355
01:08:52,476 --> 01:08:55,261
Smokey, it would mean the world
to us if you could come.
1356
01:08:56,697 --> 01:08:58,525
I wish I could, man,
1357
01:08:58,656 --> 01:09:00,832
but I've been on the road
for six weeks straight.
1358
01:09:00,919 --> 01:09:03,878
I promised my wife I was gonna
be home for Christmas.
1359
01:09:03,965 --> 01:09:05,706
My flight leaves
on Christmas Eve.
1360
01:09:05,793 --> 01:09:07,143
Ah...
1361
01:09:08,535 --> 01:09:10,450
I understand, I...
1362
01:09:10,581 --> 01:09:12,278
Anything else I can do to help?
1363
01:09:12,409 --> 01:09:14,585
I appreciate it but you...
1364
01:09:15,934 --> 01:09:18,589
Motown, you know,
it just means so much to...
1365
01:09:21,113 --> 01:09:22,984
all of us.
1366
01:09:24,290 --> 01:09:26,379
You got a family, Eddie?
1367
01:09:26,466 --> 01:09:27,946
You mean like a wife and kids?
1368
01:09:28,033 --> 01:09:30,514
Yeah. No.
1369
01:09:30,644 --> 01:09:32,084
You don't know
what you're missing.
1370
01:09:34,300 --> 01:09:35,700
Can I ask you a personal
question?
1371
01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:38,217
Sure. How did you do it?
1372
01:09:38,304 --> 01:09:40,176
How did you juggle family
with your career?
1373
01:09:42,090 --> 01:09:44,136
By remembering the "why."
1374
01:09:44,267 --> 01:09:46,834
Before I was blessed enough
to get into the music business
1375
01:09:46,965 --> 01:09:49,054
it was my impossible dream.
1376
01:09:49,141 --> 01:09:51,796
My perfect prayer.
And I guess God said,
1377
01:09:51,926 --> 01:09:54,246
okay, I'm gonna let you have
this, see what you do with it.
1378
01:09:54,277 --> 01:09:56,322
See how you treat people.
1379
01:09:56,409 --> 01:09:59,107
I got a great wife
and a wonderful family.
1380
01:09:59,238 --> 01:10:01,849
And I love my job.
1381
01:10:01,936 --> 01:10:04,330
I love my wife and my family.
1382
01:10:04,461 --> 01:10:06,742
And I love the fact that they
support me in loving my job.
1383
01:10:08,073 --> 01:10:09,509
And when you got it like that,
1384
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,468
there's no juggling.
1385
01:10:11,555 --> 01:10:13,339
Love leads the way.
1386
01:10:13,470 --> 01:10:15,733
All you gotta do is follow.
1387
01:10:17,648 --> 01:10:20,607
I hear you. Yeah.
1388
01:10:20,694 --> 01:10:23,219
You still got your chops man?
Oh yeah, I got it.
1389
01:10:23,349 --> 01:10:26,047
Let me hear something.
After you.
1390
01:10:26,178 --> 01:10:28,572
Since it's Christmas...
1391
01:10:30,530 --> 01:10:33,838
? Oh holy night ?
1392
01:10:33,925 --> 01:10:37,058
? The stars are brightly
shining ?
1393
01:10:40,236 --> 01:10:44,240
? It is the night of our dear
Saviors birth ?
1394
01:10:46,590 --> 01:10:48,766
Your turn!
1395
01:10:48,853 --> 01:10:51,029
Yeah, okay.
1396
01:10:51,116 --> 01:10:53,074
Let me show you what I got.
All right.
1397
01:11:01,126 --> 01:11:03,346
You still got your chops man.
Thanks.
1398
01:11:03,433 --> 01:11:05,086
That was beautiful. Thank you.
1399
01:11:08,264 --> 01:11:10,135
No Smokey! Yet!
1400
01:11:10,222 --> 01:11:11,832
And why are you just
now telling us this?
1401
01:11:11,963 --> 01:11:13,660
We know you tried your best,
Amber.
1402
01:11:13,791 --> 01:11:15,271
And what about our ticket
sales?!
1403
01:11:15,401 --> 01:11:16,681
Maybe we can find someone else.
1404
01:11:16,794 --> 01:11:18,622
At this late date?
I don't think so.
1405
01:11:18,709 --> 01:11:20,624
And besides, we had our heart
set on Smokey.
1406
01:11:20,754 --> 01:11:22,800
So did we, Deaconess Jones.
1407
01:11:22,930 --> 01:11:25,193
Eddie and I we called
everyone we know.
1408
01:11:25,281 --> 01:11:27,195
We did everything
we could think of
1409
01:11:27,326 --> 01:11:29,763
short of buying commercials
on national TV.
1410
01:11:32,505 --> 01:11:34,986
That's it! No. no.
1411
01:11:35,116 --> 01:11:37,293
We do not have any money
for any TV commercials,
1412
01:11:37,380 --> 01:11:39,033
Amber Dupont. No,
1413
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,384
but we can shoot a video.
1414
01:11:41,471 --> 01:11:43,211
What are you about to do?
1415
01:11:43,342 --> 01:11:44,580
I'm gonna send a message
to Smokey Robinson
1416
01:11:44,604 --> 01:11:46,650
that will knock his socks off!
1417
01:11:54,092 --> 01:11:55,809
You still haven't told Amber
about Smokey?
1418
01:11:55,833 --> 01:11:57,487
No.
1419
01:11:59,489 --> 01:12:01,317
Or about the tour?
1420
01:12:06,017 --> 01:12:08,236
What's wrong with him? He's uh,
1421
01:12:08,367 --> 01:12:10,167
he's just sad because
Smokey went up in smoke.
1422
01:12:11,892 --> 01:12:13,198
How did Amber take it?
1423
01:12:14,417 --> 01:12:16,680
I haven't had the heart
to tell her.
1424
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:19,335
You should call her. At least
let her know you tried.
1425
01:12:19,422 --> 01:12:21,685
I don't know, man,
you really wanna let her know
1426
01:12:21,815 --> 01:12:23,948
you met Smokey
and he turned you down?
1427
01:12:24,078 --> 01:12:26,187
Might be better if she thinks
you just flat out failed.
1428
01:12:26,211 --> 01:12:28,692
Thanks, Ham.
1429
01:12:28,822 --> 01:12:30,365
I can always count on you
for sage advice.
1430
01:12:30,389 --> 01:12:32,043
Yep.
1431
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:37,527
And bacon.
1432
01:12:41,879 --> 01:12:43,794
All right, kiddo. Here you go.
1433
01:12:46,100 --> 01:12:47,928
Did you tell Eddie
about the video?
1434
01:12:48,059 --> 01:12:50,627
No. It's supposed to be
a surprise.
1435
01:12:50,714 --> 01:12:55,153
I sent it to my friend
who works at WJLB.
1436
01:12:55,283 --> 01:12:57,851
And she's gonna post it on all
their social media platforms
1437
01:12:57,938 --> 01:13:00,288
and tag Smokey.
1438
01:13:00,419 --> 01:13:02,900
If we're lucky, he'll see it
and show up tonight.
1439
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:06,120
That would make Eddie so happy!
1440
01:13:06,251 --> 01:13:07,644
Mm-hmm! Us too!
1441
01:13:12,779 --> 01:13:14,781
You know, Sweetie,
1442
01:13:14,868 --> 01:13:18,568
I was going to wait to talk
to you about this,
1443
01:13:18,698 --> 01:13:21,135
but do you remember
when we first met,
1444
01:13:21,222 --> 01:13:23,877
you told me that your dream
1445
01:13:24,008 --> 01:13:26,750
is to have a forever family?
1446
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,447
Yeah.
1447
01:13:28,578 --> 01:13:30,231
Well...
1448
01:13:32,886 --> 01:13:35,106
I love you.
1449
01:13:35,236 --> 01:13:37,543
So I was wondering,
how would you feel
1450
01:13:38,805 --> 01:13:40,503
about having me...
1451
01:13:41,852 --> 01:13:43,506
for a mom?
1452
01:13:44,855 --> 01:13:46,857
My whole mom?
1453
01:13:48,467 --> 01:13:50,338
Your whole mom.
1454
01:13:50,426 --> 01:13:53,080
Like for forever?
1455
01:13:54,952 --> 01:13:57,215
Forever and ever.
1456
01:13:57,302 --> 01:14:00,131
Will we still make cookies
with sprinkles?
1457
01:14:00,218 --> 01:14:01,872
Oh, yes.
1458
01:14:01,959 --> 01:14:03,700
And...
1459
01:14:06,442 --> 01:14:07,882
will we still listen
to Motown music?
1460
01:14:07,921 --> 01:14:09,575
Girl, yes!
1461
01:14:11,359 --> 01:14:14,232
And will you still tuck me
in every night
1462
01:14:14,362 --> 01:14:16,800
and wait for me to say my
prayers before I go to bed?
1463
01:14:18,497 --> 01:14:21,282
Every single night.
1464
01:14:23,154 --> 01:14:26,113
Then, I know what my answer is:
1465
01:14:29,029 --> 01:14:30,422
yes!
1466
01:14:36,602 --> 01:14:39,779
Listen, I love you very much!
1467
01:14:42,869 --> 01:14:44,436
I love you too, Mommy.
1468
01:14:44,523 --> 01:14:46,482
Wow!
1469
01:14:46,612 --> 01:14:49,136
What a difference
two weeks can make, huh?
1470
01:14:58,755 --> 01:15:01,235
You ready? Yep, you?
1471
01:15:01,366 --> 01:15:03,411
Yeah listen, I know things
are crazy right now,
1472
01:15:03,499 --> 01:15:04,848
but I need to tell you
something.
1473
01:15:04,935 --> 01:15:06,980
Um, I need to tell you
something too.
1474
01:15:07,067 --> 01:15:09,045
Eddie! Eddie! Amber! Amber!
1475
01:15:09,069 --> 01:15:10,917
After this is over,
everything on the table, okay?
1476
01:15:10,941 --> 01:15:12,421
Yeah. Sure.
Everything on the table.
1477
01:15:12,508 --> 01:15:14,031
All right.
1478
01:15:16,642 --> 01:15:20,211
I wanna give a big
shout out to our homeboy,
1479
01:15:20,298 --> 01:15:23,736
Smokey Robinson, for helping us
do it up big this Christmas.
1480
01:15:23,823 --> 01:15:26,086
One of our sales reps shared
a touching video
1481
01:15:26,217 --> 01:15:28,132
from a young lady
who's been trying
1482
01:15:28,262 --> 01:15:30,221
to get Smokey's attention
for a couple weeks.
1483
01:15:30,351 --> 01:15:32,571
Smokey, if you're listening,
1484
01:15:32,658 --> 01:15:34,747
check it out on our social
media platforms.
1485
01:15:34,834 --> 01:15:36,836
I think you'll be as touched
by it as I was.
1486
01:15:45,410 --> 01:15:47,673
Hello everyone, ho, ho, ho!
1487
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:50,589
Hello children.
How are we all doing today?
1488
01:15:50,676 --> 01:15:52,983
Are you all ready
for the pageant today?
1489
01:15:53,070 --> 01:15:55,594
Ho ho ho!
1490
01:15:55,681 --> 01:15:57,465
Merry Christmas, everyone!
1491
01:15:57,596 --> 01:16:00,207
Merry Christmas!
1492
01:16:00,294 --> 01:16:02,296
All right, everyone,
1493
01:16:02,427 --> 01:16:03,950
it's showtime!
1494
01:16:10,391 --> 01:16:11,711
Oh. Amber, Amber.
1495
01:16:13,177 --> 01:16:16,267
Is he coming, Amber?
Is anyone coming?
1496
01:16:25,232 --> 01:16:28,061
Hello. My name is Amber Dupont.
1497
01:16:28,192 --> 01:16:31,108
And these are my family,
1498
01:16:31,195 --> 01:16:33,589
my friends and my loved ones.
1499
01:16:34,807 --> 01:16:38,158
I'm hoping this message gets
to Mr. Robinson.
1500
01:16:38,245 --> 01:16:41,901
But even if he's unable
to attend our pageant,
1501
01:16:42,032 --> 01:16:43,773
the spirit of love and joy
1502
01:16:45,949 --> 01:16:49,082
that he and Motown
has inspired in all of us
1503
01:16:49,213 --> 01:16:51,215
will be in full effect
1504
01:16:51,302 --> 01:16:53,609
and a community of God-fearing
1505
01:16:54,697 --> 01:16:57,700
men and women,
and boys and girls
1506
01:16:57,787 --> 01:16:59,963
will be there celebrating
1507
01:17:00,050 --> 01:17:04,097
the birth of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
1508
01:17:04,228 --> 01:17:06,709
Thank you Mr. Robinson,
1509
01:17:06,839 --> 01:17:09,102
and Motown,
1510
01:17:09,189 --> 01:17:11,148
for providing the soundtrack
1511
01:17:11,278 --> 01:17:13,411
of some of the best moments
1512
01:17:13,541 --> 01:17:15,805
of my and our lives.
1513
01:17:17,502 --> 01:17:18,808
Thank you.
1514
01:17:24,291 --> 01:17:26,642
Child: And Joseph went up
from Galilee,
1515
01:17:26,729 --> 01:17:29,209
out of the city of Nazareth
into Judea
1516
01:17:29,296 --> 01:17:32,038
unto the City of David
which is called Bethlehem
1517
01:17:32,125 --> 01:17:34,780
to be taxed with Mary,
his espoused wife
1518
01:17:34,911 --> 01:17:36,826
being great with child.
1519
01:17:38,871 --> 01:17:41,091
And so it was, that,
while they were there,
1520
01:17:41,178 --> 01:17:43,702
the days were accomplished
that she should be delivered.
1521
01:17:43,833 --> 01:17:46,705
And she brought forth
her firstborn son,
1522
01:17:46,792 --> 01:17:48,751
and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes,
1523
01:17:48,838 --> 01:17:51,014
and laid Him in a manger;
1524
01:17:51,101 --> 01:17:53,190
because there was no room
for them in the inn.
1525
01:17:57,890 --> 01:17:59,718
You ready?
1526
01:18:03,766 --> 01:18:05,550
Lily, "Silent Night."
1527
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,554
? Silent night ?
1528
01:18:11,425 --> 01:18:13,993
? Holy night ?
1529
01:18:16,256 --> 01:18:17,954
? All is calm ?
1530
01:18:18,041 --> 01:18:20,260
? All... ?
1531
01:18:20,391 --> 01:18:22,031
You got this, Little Smokey.
You got it.
1532
01:18:23,002 --> 01:18:24,874
? All is bright ?
1533
01:18:26,266 --> 01:18:28,878
? Silent night ?
1534
01:18:28,965 --> 01:18:30,793
Oh my goodness!
1535
01:18:30,923 --> 01:18:33,143
? Holy night ?
1536
01:18:33,230 --> 01:18:35,406
Is that Smokey?! It's Smokey!
1537
01:18:35,536 --> 01:18:37,843
? All is calm It's Smokey!
1538
01:18:39,627 --> 01:18:41,891
It's actually him!
? All is bright ?
1539
01:18:44,371 --> 01:18:47,418
? Round yon virgin ?
1540
01:18:49,115 --> 01:18:51,248
? Mother and child ?
1541
01:18:53,424 --> 01:18:55,426
? Holy infant ?
1542
01:18:57,167 --> 01:19:00,431
? So tender and mild ?
1543
01:19:02,215 --> 01:19:06,263
? Sleep in heavenly peace ?
1544
01:19:11,572 --> 01:19:15,446
? Sleep in heavenly peace ?
1545
01:19:18,231 --> 01:19:20,320
Shhh.
1546
01:19:20,451 --> 01:19:23,454
? Silent night ?
1547
01:19:25,325 --> 01:19:27,110
? Holy night ?
1548
01:19:29,460 --> 01:19:32,115
? Shepherds quake ?
1549
01:19:33,812 --> 01:19:36,249
? At the sight ?
1550
01:19:38,686 --> 01:19:42,255
? Glory streams ?
1551
01:19:42,342 --> 01:19:44,954
? From heaven afar ?
1552
01:19:47,913 --> 01:19:50,437
? Heavenly hosts ?
1553
01:19:51,612 --> 01:19:54,790
? Sing, alleluia ?
1554
01:19:57,401 --> 01:20:01,448
? Christ the savior is born ?
1555
01:20:06,149 --> 01:20:10,501
? Christ the savior is born ?
1556
01:20:15,419 --> 01:20:18,509
? Christ the savior is born ?
1557
01:20:39,486 --> 01:20:40,705
Bravo!
1558
01:20:48,060 --> 01:20:50,846
You know,
a couple of Sundays ago,
1559
01:20:50,933 --> 01:20:54,501
my dad asked us
what are we gonna do
1560
01:20:54,588 --> 01:20:57,374
with our two weeks
before Christmas.
1561
01:20:57,461 --> 01:20:59,419
At the time, I didn't think
that I would be
1562
01:20:59,550 --> 01:21:01,857
taking on this pageant
1563
01:21:01,944 --> 01:21:04,685
and it would reunite me
1564
01:21:04,816 --> 01:21:07,036
with a man that means
so much to me.
1565
01:21:08,515 --> 01:21:11,257
I didn't know that I would be
making a decision
1566
01:21:11,388 --> 01:21:13,869
that would change
someone's life...
1567
01:21:13,956 --> 01:21:16,045
and mine.
1568
01:21:16,132 --> 01:21:18,003
I didn't know that I would be
standing next to
1569
01:21:18,134 --> 01:21:20,527
a musical legend.
1570
01:21:20,614 --> 01:21:23,704
This has truly been
the best two weeks
1571
01:21:23,791 --> 01:21:25,881
of my life.
1572
01:21:25,968 --> 01:21:28,144
I could not end tonight
1573
01:21:28,231 --> 01:21:30,015
without thanking this dear man
1574
01:21:30,146 --> 01:21:32,583
who took the time
1575
01:21:32,713 --> 01:21:35,107
to join us tonight.
1576
01:21:35,194 --> 01:21:38,415
You have no idea how much
this means to all of us.
1577
01:21:40,634 --> 01:21:42,767
Mr. Robinson, please...
1578
01:21:42,854 --> 01:21:44,595
Thank you.
1579
01:21:47,076 --> 01:21:49,339
I recently had a conversation
with a fellow musician.
1580
01:21:51,210 --> 01:21:53,386
We talked about love?
1581
01:21:53,517 --> 01:21:55,649
And that's what I see
in this room.
1582
01:21:55,736 --> 01:21:57,913
I often say love
is an action word.
1583
01:21:59,610 --> 01:22:01,770
What good is it to love someone
if you don't show them?
1584
01:22:03,309 --> 01:22:04,789
Many times we hold on to love
1585
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:07,320
thinking that we're waiting for
the right time to deliver it.
1586
01:22:08,314 --> 01:22:10,664
I say, deliver it now.
1587
01:22:10,751 --> 01:22:12,405
That's what God did
1588
01:22:12,536 --> 01:22:14,712
when He sent His son
to save the world
1589
01:22:14,799 --> 01:22:17,584
and that's what you've
done here at Mt. Joy
1590
01:22:17,671 --> 01:22:19,111
and I'm honored to be
a part of that.
1591
01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:22,633
Eddie, thanks for coming
to get me, man,
1592
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,306
and showing me how much
you love this church
1593
01:22:24,330 --> 01:22:26,245
and these people.
1594
01:22:26,332 --> 01:22:27,855
I didn't think
I'd be able to make it,
1595
01:22:27,986 --> 01:22:30,032
but when I saw Amber's video,
1596
01:22:30,119 --> 01:22:32,469
I knew I had to come.
1597
01:22:32,599 --> 01:22:34,427
And I'm glad I did.
1598
01:22:42,305 --> 01:22:43,959
Lily is a lucky little girl.
1599
01:22:45,525 --> 01:22:47,485
Thank you so much,
for everything, Mr. Robinson.
1600
01:22:48,702 --> 01:22:50,052
Call me Smokey.
1601
01:22:51,270 --> 01:22:53,011
Merry Christmas!
1602
01:22:53,098 --> 01:22:54,293
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Smokey.
1603
01:22:54,317 --> 01:22:55,753
Merry Christmas, Smokey. Bye!
1604
01:22:57,276 --> 01:22:58,974
Um, what was he talking about?
1605
01:23:00,192 --> 01:23:02,194
What video?
1606
01:23:02,325 --> 01:23:04,109
You know what?
It-it doesn't even matter.
1607
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,503
What matters is he came, and...
1608
01:23:08,070 --> 01:23:10,110
he said some things that
really make a lot of sense.
1609
01:23:11,421 --> 01:23:14,380
See, I have a situation, Amber,
1610
01:23:14,511 --> 01:23:15,751
and what I do about it, well...
1611
01:23:17,949 --> 01:23:19,907
it depends on you.
1612
01:23:19,995 --> 01:23:21,387
I got an offer to go on tour.
1613
01:23:21,518 --> 01:23:23,520
The international leg starts
right away.
1614
01:23:23,607 --> 01:23:25,063
And then after that we come
back to the States
1615
01:23:25,087 --> 01:23:26,697
for a few months.
1616
01:23:29,700 --> 01:23:31,484
That's awesome, Eddie.
1617
01:23:33,486 --> 01:23:35,010
This is a dream come true!
1618
01:23:36,707 --> 01:23:38,013
Yeah. It is.
1619
01:23:39,536 --> 01:23:40,841
You're happy about it. Right?
1620
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:44,019
I am happy, Amber. I'm...
1621
01:23:45,411 --> 01:23:46,891
I'm happy here with you.
1622
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,200
I-I'm turning down the gig.
1623
01:23:53,245 --> 01:23:54,899
You have no idea you how badly
1624
01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:56,553
I wanted to come back home
to Detroit.
1625
01:23:58,076 --> 01:23:59,469
Why didn't you?
1626
01:24:00,774 --> 01:24:03,516
Fear. Pride. Stupidity.
1627
01:24:05,083 --> 01:24:07,129
I-I was waiting for
an invitation,
1628
01:24:08,521 --> 01:24:10,523
an opportunity, an excuse,
1629
01:24:12,438 --> 01:24:13,874
when all I needed was a reason.
1630
01:24:15,833 --> 01:24:17,574
Love was the reason
1631
01:24:17,661 --> 01:24:18,923
and I had it all along.
1632
01:24:24,624 --> 01:24:25,886
I waited too, I guess.
1633
01:24:27,845 --> 01:24:29,064
For the perfect love,
1634
01:24:30,717 --> 01:24:32,589
the perfect partner.
1635
01:24:34,765 --> 01:24:35,896
Maybe that's you.
1636
01:24:37,246 --> 01:24:39,248
Maybe it's always been you.
1637
01:24:42,642 --> 01:24:44,514
But, there's something you
should know.
1638
01:24:46,037 --> 01:24:48,779
I'm adopting Lily.
1639
01:24:48,866 --> 01:24:51,086
I understand if that changes
things for you,
1640
01:24:51,173 --> 01:24:54,219
but I love her very much,
1641
01:24:55,873 --> 01:24:57,962
and I want her in my life?
1642
01:24:59,442 --> 01:25:01,444
For the rest of my life.
1643
01:25:03,924 --> 01:25:05,839
Well, in that case?
1644
01:25:05,970 --> 01:25:07,450
Lily,
1645
01:25:12,716 --> 01:25:14,476
do I have your permission
to date your mommy?
1646
01:25:16,459 --> 01:25:18,330
Hmm,
1647
01:25:18,417 --> 01:25:19,984
let me see...
1648
01:25:22,291 --> 01:25:23,770
Yes!
1649
01:25:25,685 --> 01:25:27,687
You know,
if anybody can do this?
1650
01:25:27,774 --> 01:25:28,819
Eddie and Amber...
1651
01:25:30,647 --> 01:25:32,388
and Lily can.
1652
01:25:32,475 --> 01:25:34,564
? Prepare Him room ?
1653
01:25:34,651 --> 01:25:36,261
? And heaven and nature sing ?
1654
01:25:36,392 --> 01:25:38,611
? And heaven and nature sing ?
1655
01:25:38,698 --> 01:25:40,178
Ladies and gentlemen,
1656
01:25:40,265 --> 01:25:43,268
I'm very happy to report
as of five minutes ago,
1657
01:25:43,355 --> 01:25:46,053
that we have met our
fundraising goals!
1658
01:25:46,184 --> 01:25:48,273
We now have enough money
1659
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,276
to cover the all cost
of our repairs!
1660
01:25:51,363 --> 01:25:53,800
You did it, Amber, you did it!
1661
01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:58,370
Yes, Ham!
1662
01:25:58,501 --> 01:26:01,460
? Joy to the world
The Savior reigns ?
1663
01:26:01,591 --> 01:26:04,246
? Let men their songs employ ?
1664
01:26:04,333 --> 01:26:07,249
? While fields and floods ?
1665
01:26:07,379 --> 01:26:09,338
? Rocks, hills and plains ?
1666
01:26:09,468 --> 01:26:11,557
Father, we thank you
for this beautiful Christmas.
1667
01:26:11,688 --> 01:26:14,865
We thank you for our family,
our friends,
1668
01:26:14,952 --> 01:26:17,694
and the generosity of those
who came to our aid.
1669
01:26:19,174 --> 01:26:21,828
It is in his name we pray. Amen.
1670
01:26:21,959 --> 01:26:23,308
Amen.
1671
01:26:25,702 --> 01:26:27,486
Guess what everybody? What?
1672
01:26:27,617 --> 01:26:30,663
Only 364 days
'til next Christmas!
1673
01:26:39,019 --> 01:26:42,719
? On Christmas day ?
