I will always love you *

[crowd cheering and clapping]
[Man] We love you Dolly!

[Dolly]
Oh, thank you! Thank you!

How about a big hand
for my mighty fine band?

And the mighty fine singers?
Thank you!

You have made this little
Smoky Mountain girl really happy

and I will see you somewhere
else, thank you! God bless you!

Ooh Lordy, I'm hot.
Give me a sip of water, Steve.

Okay.

Dry as a bell, hey?

Oh, as long as I have
worked with you

that one always gets me.

Oh Judy, don't start
crying on me,

you're gonna
rust my rhinestones.

Now we gotta get you outta here

before they
tear this place apart.

-But first.
-Yeah.

[Crowd] Dolly! Dolly!
Dolly! Dolly!

Well you're not gonna stop,
are you?

Well then I'm not done yet!

* Working 9 to 5
what a way to make a living *

* Barely getting by it's all
taking and no giving *

* They just use your mind *

[Dolly] [sighs]

It's snowing!
Oh my gosh, it's snowing!

I have an idea.

[phone ringing]

Come on, come on.

Dolly Rebecca.

Hey Sam, where did I
wake you up from this time?

I'm wrapping a movie in Atlanta.

Well, I'm sorry to call you
at this ridiculous hour

but I think I have an idea

for the next TV show
we can produce together.

Yeah? Let's hear it.

Well, you know,
I'm always trying to do

fun, uplifting,
positive projects?

Yes, I do.

[Dolly]
Well, that's why I'm calling.

It is snowing in Tahoe.

[Sam] Oh, must be beautiful!

And it's making me homesick

for how it snows back home
at Christmas!

So magical and peaceful.
But Sam, it is only mid-October.

And I'm thinking
that is some kind of a sign.

Maybe some of that magic dust
you're always talking about.

Well honestly I do think it's
more than a coincidence.

I think it's a sign that I
should bring some of that

mountain magic to everybody
this Christmas.

Why don't we
do a special from Dollywood?

I think that's a great idea.

So why don't you call
Susan Roberts at NBC

and see if they'd be interested?

[Sam] Right yeah, yeah, yeah,
we've had good luck there

with the Coat of Many Colorsand
the Christmas of Many Colors.

And with you riding a tidal wave
of popularity right now.

Well I'm gonna start
getting songs together,

why don't you start
getting ideas together?

I'm already thinking about
who we can invite

to be our guest stars.

Well now we need to start with
some of my friends

'cause I want the show
to reflect

the things that are
meaningful to me.

Maybe like sharing my love of
reading with children?

Hey maybe we'll get kids
to start asking

Santa for books
in addition to toys.

Well if anyone could
pull that off, it's you.

And I want to use some of our
Dollywood family

because we have the best

singers, dancers,
and musicians available

and they look good, too.

I'm getting the Christmas spirit
just thinking about it.

Well great,
well we'll talk later

but I gotta get back
to the snow!

Oh, I love it, I love it,
I love it!

It's snowing,
I can't believe it.

* Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm *

* Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm *

* Mountain magic I can feel it
all around me *

* Mountain magic as pure as
mountain snow *

* Mountain people are as sweet
as mountain honey *

* I can feel the mountain magic
in my soul *

* I love to wake up early to the
sounds and sights of nature *

* Get up before the sun
to watch it rise *

* Walk down the lane and marvel
at God's wondrous creations *

* It's magic when these
mountains come alive *

* Mountain magic I can feel it
all around me *

* Mountain magic as pure as
mountain snow *

* Mountain people are as sweet
as mountain honey *

* I can feel the mountain magic
in my soul *

I love it! Dolly Parton,
Christmas, Dollywood!

I'm starting to cry just
thinking about it, wow.

I can't help it, you know why?

Because this is exactly
what we need right now.

I mean, everyone is so

disheartened and tense
and gloomy.

And nobody lifts up an audience
better than Dolly.

Exactly, so let's pull out all
the stops, make it Dolly 2.0!

I want the biggest, splashiest,
most Christmas-y show ever!

I mean dancers, guest stars,
Santa Claus, kids,

get a whole bunch of kids,
people love kids.

I mean give me all that,
and then give me some more.

You know who we should get
to stage it,

and Dolly loves her,
Kathryn Burns.

Yes! Oh, that would be perfect.
Oh! But wait,

Let's make it an event.
We'll do a live show.

Whoa uh, a live special?

No, a live holiday event.

I mean,
wouldn't that be fantastic?

Uh yes, but you know,
it takes like 6 months or more

to pull off a live event um...
We only have 10 weeks.

You and Dolly can do anything.

Just use some of that
mountain magic. [chuckles]

[chuckles]

But make it big! [giggles]

[Susan] Ah, I love Christmas!

[music]

[car honking]

[music]

-Kathryn, welcome to Dollywood!
-Sam!

-Hey.
-Hi, here's my

assistant choreographer,
Jasmine.

-Oh.
-Well come on.

- Say hello to Sam Haskell.
-[Sam] [chuckles]

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Hi.
-Oh, wow.

I feel like I'm
Alice in Wonderland.

Oh, here's
writer producer David Rambo.

-Hi!
-I'm a big fan.

Oh my gosh, thank you.

And producers,
Hudson Hickman and Billy Levin.

Hello, hello!
Ugh, Jasmine, picture it.

Dozens of dancers uh,
Dolly leading us

through the park,
arms wide open, we crane up,

and it's Merry Christmas
with a mountain on top.

-Yes! [giggles]
-Budget's kinda tight so uh,

-maybe not too big.
-Big is what you hired me for.

[Dolly]
Hey, you're just in time!

We're decorating the park
for Christmas!

Go tell it!

[Crowd] Tell it! Tell it!

Go tell it!

[Crowd] Tell it! Tell it!

Spread the word!

[Crowd] Spread the word!

Jesus Christ is born!

[Crowd] Hallelujah! He is born!

* Oh go tell it, tell it,
go tell it, tell it *

* Go tell it, tell it,
go tell it, tell it *

* Go tell it on the mountain *

* over the hills
and everywhere *

* Go tell it on the mountain *

* That Jesus Christ is born *

* Oh go tell it
on the mountain *

* over the hills
and everywhere *

* Go tell it on the mountain *

* That Jesus Christ is born *

* Go tell it, tell it,
Jesus Christ is born *

* Away in a manger *

* no crib for his bed *

* The little lord Jesus *

* Lay down his sweet head *

* The stars in the sky *

* look down where he lay *

* The little lord Jesus *

* Asleep in the hay *

* Go tell it, tell it,
go tell it, tell it *

* Go tell it, tell it,
go tell it, tell it *

* Go tell it on the mountain *

* Over the hills
and everywhere *

* Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born *

* He's alive, he's alive,
he's alive *

* Go tell it, tell it,
he's alive *

* He's alive, he's alive,
he's alive, he's alive *

* He's alive,
go tell it, tell it *

* He's alive, he's alive,
he's alive, oh he's alive *

* He's alive, he's alive
and I'm forgiven *

* heaven's gates are open wide,
he's alive, he's alive *

* Oh he's alive, he's alive *

* He's alive and I'm forgiven *

* Heaven's gates are open wide *

* He's alive, he's alive *

-How's my girl today?
-Oh, well I'm fine and dandy.

Why wouldn't I be
with you and Kathryn in charge?

And I'm glad to see you didn't
forget your right arm,

-morning Judy.
-Morning.

Oh, don't worry,
she never forgets me.

Sam you remember
my little grand nephew, Liam.

-Hi, Liam.
-Yeah, his mom and daddy

are busy today so I'm putting
him to work on the show.

Wouldn't he make the perfect
little elf for our show?

-He sure would.
-They're gonna get you

-in a costume.
-Perfect.

How are we doing getting your
sisters and family

here for their big number?

Everything--

Um, um, uh okay,
production meeting, right now.

[Man] Can we get the set deck
out here?

Yeah, where is Gentry?
-[Kathryn] Wanna talk through

some logistics that are hap--

-Good morning, everybody!
-[Dancers] Good morning!

-How's it going?
-Good, I was just

reminding everyone that the
clock's ticking down

for our live broadcast tonight,
so today is all about

our final dress rehearsal
of each of the numbers,

costumes, cameras,
full out energy, okay?

And we'll also be going out into
Dollywood to do some pre-tapes

of some of the numbers so we can
swap them into the live show.

Like Dolly's duet with Jimmy
Fallon, and then we also--

[Man] Look out!
Has anybody found Gentry yet?

Again? I mean when something
happens once

I'd say that's an accident,
but twice?

I think that's a sign
I need to be doing something.

Then on page 37 where Dolly's
supposed to say--

Isn't it a little late
for dialogue changes?

-Absolutely.
-We are now officially

-A half hour behind schedule.
[chattering]

Hello, Dolly! [chuckles]
What can we do for you?

Well you could start by wiping
those fake smiles off your faces

I know what's going on.
We're supposed to be doing

a dress rehearsal
and we're not ready.

-[sighs] Of all the luck.
-What's the matter?

Oh, it's nothing.

Oh, I think it's more than
nothing, what is it?

Well, wouldn't you know it

just when I have my dream job
working with you,

my other lifelong dream
just came calling

to choreograph
the Radio City Rockettes.

-[Dolly] Oh!
-[Kathryn] But I'd have to be

on a plane like right away so
it's okay, I'm turning it down.

No! You can't do that.

That's a puff of magic dust,
you have to take it!

[Dolly]
That's your dream coming true.

No, no, no, no,
she can't leave, no, no,

we're in the middle
of dress rehearsal,

yeah, we go live tonight.

Oh Jasmine can handle it
from here, right Jasmine?

-Sure.
-Thank you.

[Dolly] You gotta
live your dream.

-Oh, really? You mean it?
-[Dolly] I mean it.

Scat, Kat.

Thank you,
thank you so much, Dolly.

Jasmine if you need
anything at all,

remember I'm just
a phone call away, okay?

Have a good show, y'all.
Merry Christmas!

Magic dust my butt.

Well, okay then.
Let's go people!

Over to the Jimmy Fallon
pre-tape, now!

Okay yeah, no, the network loves
how we're doing this number, so.

Cool.

Good thing the park's closed
today or she'd be mobbed.

She's the pied piper,
she knows how to draw a crowd.

[phone ringing]
-Oh no.

-Hello, Susan.
-[Susan] Please tell me

your choreographer didn't leave
the day of your live broadcast.

Well, yes but don't worry,
her assistant's got everything

running like clockwork.

[Jasmine] People, we are hours
behind schedule.

Get your butts in gear!

[Susan] I heard that.

Sam, the show tonight
has to be perfect, okay?

The world needs it, I need it.
Sam, you have no idea how much

pressure I am under right now,
okay? I really, I need a break.

I need like a therapeutic
escape somewhere.

I'm counting on you.
Merry Christmas.

Merry-- [sighs]

Well how is my favorite
New York city bad boy?

How's my favorite smoky mountain
greasy chick right?

-[giggles]
-Oh!

We're dressed the part,
how do you like

the jacket I designed for you?

It's subtle, it's subtle.
What are we gonna get to eat?

-Milkshake.
-Milkshake.

-Jinx.
-[giggles]

-Alright we'll start with that--
-So, Jimmy, hi.

This is the number
that I taught you up in New York

-Yeah.
-but since you and Dolly

have not had a chance
to run it together,

I say let's rehearse one.

Well we're running
so late already, Jasmine,

why don't we just go for one,
let's do a take.

-We know what we're doing.
-Sure.

Alright, then. Marks!
Let's roll!

Oh, the mouse
has learned to roar.

I don't care if she roars,
clucks, or cackles

as long as she keeps us from
getting any further behind.

Okay, Almost Too Early for
Christmaspre-tape.

Take one, action!

Woo!

[Both] And you thought we
couldn't dance.

[clapping]

Got it in one take!
[clapping]

That should put us
back on schedule.

No.

Ooh-wee!
Dolly, that was amazing!

Oh, I always have
a good time with you, Jimmy.

Why do you look troubled as a

tap dancer with a
piece of corn in her shoe?

Sorry, these mountains bring out
the folksy similes in me.

Well, maybe it's just that
Smoky Mountain magic.

Oh now you got me
blushing like a,

like a dry paintbrush
full of barn paint.

You got me red like a bubbling
fruit pie in the oven.

-I'm like a wet cow who's--
-Hey Jimmy, I get the idea.

Okay, sorry.
But I got you to smile, right?

You always make me smile
but you know what?

I admit you caught me thinking.
See I been thinking about those

wonderful magical
Smoky Mountain Christmases

that I had as a child

and I'm not sure our show
is gonna have that.

Sounds like you're hankering to
connect with your past.

You know, I admit
you might have a point there.

Everything on this park
is about my life,

I mean we even got
the old cabin I grew up in,

we got the church I went to,

there's even that old gristmill
we used to play in.

[music]

[chimes]

Willie? This must be
some sort of magic dust.

Willie?
What's, what's going on here?

Just think of me as a
wise old mountain man.

-I'm full of wisdom.
-Well, I know you're full of it.

But how wise are you, Willie?

Wise enough to know that
you're troubled,

my intuition told me that.

And I've known you
a long time, Doll.

-Intuition, huh?
-Yeah, come here

and sit with me,
we've got some talking to do.

We do?

[music]

How in the world did you find
our old family album?

-Mountain magic.
-[giggles] You know,

we were really poor
when we were growing up

and we didn't have all that
pretty paper

to wrap our gifts in,
so we used newspapers.

But come Christmas morning,
we thought they were

the prettiest things
in the whole world.

* Pretty paper *

* pretty ribbons of blue *

* Wrap your presents *

* to your darling from you *

* Pretty pencils *

* To write I love you *

* Pretty paper *

* Pretty ribbons of blue *

* Crowded streets *

* Busy feet hustle by him *

* Downtown shoppers *

* Christmas is nigh *

* And there he sits *

* All alone on the sidewalk *

* Hoping that you won't
pass him by *

* Should you stop *

* Better not
much too busy *

* You're in a hurry *

* My how time flies *

* And in the distance *

* The ringing of laughter *

* And in the midst of *

* The laughter he cries *

* Pretty paper *

* Pretty ribbons of blue *

* Wrap your presents *

* To your darling from you *

* Pretty pencils *

* To write I love you *

* Oh pretty paper,
pretty ribbons *

* Of blue *

* Pretty paper, pretty ribbons *

* Of blue *

Willie, you've got me
remembering things that

I forgot that I forgot.

Well, that was the idea. You're
probably wanting something

to write it all down in, right?

My old diary! Oh, look it there.
I mean, everything is in there,

all my childhood memories, boys
I had crushes on, dreams, plans.

[laughs]

And songs I wrote
when I was a little girl.

Don't you wanna write down
what you're thinking about?

[Dolly] You know that, too?

Boy, you are a wise old owl,
ain't you?

-[Willie] Oh, yeah.
-[chuckles]

Pretty pencils to write,
"I love you".

-Aw.
-[Liam] Hi, Gigi.

Liam? What are you doing here?

Willie I'm sorry,
I'm gonna have to go.

Who you talking to?

You don't see anybody?

I am so glad that Willie
helped me remember

those wonderful
Christmases we had.

Now none of us ever expected
to get much and we didn't,

yet somehow everybody got
a little something.

And we were thrilled to have it.
Course, mom and daddy

were as happy as us kids
to get a present.

I think that might be what
Willie wanted me to remember,

everybody is a kid at Christmas,
it's just part of the magic.

Come on, you little elf,
we gotta get out of here

before somebody
realizes we're gone.

[Woman] Places, please
for the opening number.

Please welcome

Grammy and Emmy award winning
superstar, Dolly Parton.

Christmas here in
the great Smokey Mountains

is so special and uplifting.

In fact, you might say
we've got mountain magic.

And we're gonna share a whole

heapin' helping of that
with you tonight.

[music]

* Ah ah ah ah *

* Ah ah ah ah *

* Ah ah ah ah

* Ah ah ah ah *

* Mountain magic,
mountain magic *

* I can feel it all around me
mountain magic, mountain magic *

* pure as mountain snow,
mountain people *

-[Jasmine] Go wider.
-No no no. Stay tight on Dolly.

[Jasmine]
No, take the wide shot.

It's the opening number,
we need to see the dancers.

No, no, no, no, no,
that's not what we talked about.

[Sam] Tight on Dolly.

Are you people serious?
This ain't country.

I'm the damn choreographer now
and I say go wide.

Well, I'm the damn producer and
I say stay on Dolly.

Who's big idea was this
big ass hoop skirt?

I mean, I feel like
one of those dolls

that fits over
a roll of toilet paper.

It's not only over the top,
it's dangerous in here!

[Man] Is Gentry in the building?

Oh, good lord.

Well, I know you worked hard
but I ain't doing it.

But Ms. Parton--

Oh don't, 'But Ms. Parton' me.
I said I ain't doing it.

And I ain't. I don't like it,
I ain't doing it.

Now I know how Elvis felt

trying to do those
Hollywood TV specials.

We're having a big show
but we can't see the star.

It doesn't matter if we're not
having an opening number!

Oh, none of this
feels right to me.

-Come on!
-Oh, come on, yourself.

[grunting

Dang it, ugh!
First we gotta fix this!

Y'all know what's going on here,
don't you?

Hey, Dolly.

[Dolly] All that anger, cussing?

That ain't nothing
but the devil's doings.

We're trying to lift people up

and Satan is trying to
tear us down!

Well Satan, you old ugly devil,

we are going to send you
straight back to hell!

[music]

* Ah *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go back where you belong *

* Get thee behind me, Satan,
just leave me alone *

* You're a cheat, you're a liar,
you're a scoundrel and a thief *

* Go to hell in a handbasket
'cause heaven waits for me *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go to hell, go to hell *

* Go to hell in a handbasket
'cause heaven waits for me *

* Oh I tried hard to conquer
my fears and my doubts *

* Everywhere I turn I see your
evil doings all about *

* I have suffered your sorrow
your heartache and grief *

* You keep dealing me
a bad hand *

* with a trick card
up your sleeve *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go back where you belong *

* Get thee behind me, Satan,
just leave me alone *

* Take all of your bad guys,
your demons and flee *

* Go to hell in a handbasket,
heaven's calling me *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go to hell, go to hell *

* Go to hell in a handbasket
'cause heaven waits for me *

My brothers and my sisters! Ha!

I am here to tell you that
Satan is real! Ha!

He is real and walking around
amongst us.

trying to destroy everything
that's good and beautiful! Ha!

He wants to break our
hearts and minds! Ha!

Destroy our dreams and plans!
Ha!

He wants to tear us up into
little pieces,

break us down
and send us straight to hell!

[Choir] [gasps] Oh, my God.

Aha! You've said a mouthful,
brother.

Oh my God, oh my God
can do anything! Ha!

-[Choir] Hallelujah!
-My god can heal the sick! Ha!

Mend broken hearts and take our
souls to heaven! Ha!

So Satan, listen up! Ha!
In God's name I rebuke you! Ha!

I stand up in his name,
look you in the eye,

and laugh in your ugly face!
Ha, ha, ha!

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go back where you belong *

* Get thee behind me, Satan,
just leave me alone *

* Take your drugs
and your alcohol *

* your lust and your greed *

* Go to hell with your
corruption *

* just get away from me *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go to hell, go to hell *

* Go to hell in a handbasket
'cause heaven waits for me *

* Go to hell, go to hell,
go to hell, go to hell *

* Go to hell in a handbasket
'cause heaven waits for me *

* Go to hell in a handbasket *

* heaven's calling *

* me, heaven,
heaven waits for me *

* So go to hell *

[music]

Well we kicked Satan's butt
straight back to hell.

Now let's get this show started!

Y'all pray for me.
[grunting]

to sit down
like how we practiced.

Moms, I need you in the back,
you're not in the shot.

Kids, please sit down.

When I was coming in here I saw
a whole bunch of kids out there,

did you see some of them
out there?

-Hey, Dolly.
-Well hey, Mary Lane,

I'm so glad you're doing
the show with us.

You're my good luck charm.

-Who's your little elf?
-Well, this is Liam.

This is my little grand nephew
and this is Mary Lane,

she played Ms. Moody the teacher
in the Coat of Many Colorsmovie

the story about me
as a little girl.

-And Christmas of Many Colors.
-That's true,

we've both seen them
lots of times, ain't we Liam?

And she's gonna play Ms. Moody
again as a teacher in our show.

[screaming]

Can everyone-- Alright, I need
you up out of the seats.

Sit down, can you--
Alright, well--

We're already in our second
crew lunch penalty,

I don't have
a budget for a third.

Alright, listen up kids uh,
this is uh,

ho-ho-ho, this is
Santa Claus talking now

and anyone who doesn't
settle down

and do what Ms. Jasmine says
right now

is gonna get nothing but

uh, oatmeal in their stocking
for Christmas.

-Good morning, class.
-[Kids] Good morning, Ms. Moody.

Now children, we have a very
special guest with us today.

-She's known as the book lady.
-[Kids] Hello, book lady.

Well hello, class, I'm glad
to be with you today.

How'd you get that name?

Well, I started a program
called the Imagination Library.

-Does anybody know what that is?
-[Kids] Free books for kids!

-Mhmmm.
-You're absolutely right.

You see, I started this program
in honor of my daddy

who believed that all children
should have a great education

and we started it right here
in my hometown

and then it just
grew and grew and grew

and now it's just
all over the place.

So far, Dolly's Imagination
Library has given away

almost 200 million books.

-[Kids] Wow.
- To children just like you

all around the world.

That's a lot of books.
Who loves books?

-Me.
-I do.

Yeah, so do I.
I even wrote a song about books.

-Would you like to hear it?
-[Kids] Yeah.

Would you like to sing along
with me on it?

Okay, well I got my banjo,
let's do it, here we go.

* Books, books, I love books *

* the way they feel
and smell and look *

* From my first look I was
hooked on books, books, books *

Sing!

* Books, books, I love books *

* The way they feel
and smell and look *

* From my first look I've been
hooked on books, books, books *

* Books, books, books,
I love books *

[clapping]

Sweet, but is it big enough?

It's big enough considering we
go live in--

Shh.

It's big enough.

[Dolly] 'Twas the night
before Christmas

and all through the house

not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas
would soon be there.

[thudding]

What's that? What's that noise?

[Kids] Santa!

Hand me that pretty little
guitar over there.

How special is that? I believe
in Santa Claus, do you?

[Kids] Yeah!

Well, I even wrote a song
about that, here we go!

* I believe in Santa Claus *

* I believe in Santa Claus *

* I believe there's always hope
when all seems lost *

* I believe in Santa Claus *

* I believe in Santa Claus,
I'll tell you why I do *

* 'Cause I believe that dreams
and plans and wishes *

* can come true *

* I believe in miracles,
I believe in magic too *

* I believe in Santa Claus
and I believe in you *

* I believe in Santa Claus *

* I believe in Santa Claus *

* I believe there's always hope
when all seems lost *

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

* Yes, I believe in
Santa Claus *

* Yes, I believe in
Santa Claus *

Excuse me, excuse me. Cut, cut!
Great job, kids.

-Thank you, Dolly.
-Well, you're welcome.

Couldn't Clyde do more
with Dolly?

They have such great chemistry.

My Angela really needs a line.

-[Jasmine] Okay no, no--
[chattering]

The camera loves her!
[chattering]

[music]

[sighs] Liam.

You get up here. [laughs]

What are you doing under there,
you little rascal?

Nothing.

Well, I don't want to catch
you doing nothing again,

don't you know girls get dressed
in here?

-[giggles]
-Yeah, that's what I thought.

I want you to go out in the hall
and wait for me

and I don't want you to get
into any more trouble, okay?

-Okay.
-I gotta get changed!

-Will you take this? Alright?
-Okay, Gigi.

Now how did he get back here
before I did?

Just another puff of magic dust,
I guess. [chuckles]

Ain't he the cutest thing
you ever seen?

You know, I know he's
a special little boy

and I don't know what he's
gonna grow up to be

but it will be
something special.

And whatever it is,
I'm gonna always be proud of him

and I'm gonna accept and love
him no matter what or who he is

because I believe that whoever
you are, be that.

* Whoever you are, be that *

* Whatever you do, do that *

* Anything else is just an act *

* Whoever you are, be that *

* Some may leave you
little choice *

* don't be afraid to find
your voice *

* Speak your mind
and make some noise *

Looking great.

* They call that being free *

* and stand up for
who and what you are *

Let's go!

* God knows the intent
of your heart *

* he doesn't want us
in the dark *

* He's there, he wants to help *

* So whoever you are, be that *

* Whatever you do, do that *

* 'Cause it's your right
and that's a fact *

* Whoever you are, be that *

* No one has a right to say *

* You should be this
or that way *

* And be that as it may I say *

* To thine own self be true *

* God made us all so many ways *

* and he forgives us
when we pray *

* And he's gonna
love us either way *

* He wants you to be you *

* Whoever you are, be that *

* Whatever you do, do that *

* 'Cause anything else
is just an act *

* Whatever you are, be that *

* Whatever you are *

* Whatever you do *

* Whoever you are, what you do *

* Whatever you are, be that *

* Misfits, outcasts,
rebels, strays *

* whatever you are,
you're okay *

Ah yeah, great.
Hey, you know what I wanna be?

-Back on schedule.
-Well whatever you do, do that.

Uh, where's Jimmy Allen?

He's supposed to be doing his
duet with Dolly right now.

I just saw him at catering.
Might be a minute.

There's a line.

Can I please give these
dialogue tweaks

before they run out of
hush puppies?

Nobody's going for hush puppies
or anything else.

We're in trouble here.

We're two hours behind

and we have half the show
left to produce,

the set's falling apart,
and we lost our choreographer,

and her replacement thinks that

we're staging the uh,
the Macy's Parade.

Sam! You know I love you,
I will always love you

but how am I supposed to
lift people up

if you're melting down?

[sighs] I'm gonna go
in my dressing room

'til you simmer down.
[sighs] Just cool it.

[music]

I think Sam finally broke.

-He's talking to himself.
-Oh no, he's praying.

He does that when things go from
bad to really bad.

Being in show business is like
being a doctor.

You gotta have a lot of
patience.

And everybody thinks I got
a lot of patience

but I really don't, it's hard.

Everybody puts me on
some sort of a pedestal,

I don't belong there.

I'm no angel,
I just play one on TV.

And I'm no saint.
But I love that old saying

that every saint has a past
and every sinner has a future

and I'm pretty sure I'm just
like most of you out there.

I'm just here trying to do the
best I can.

Trying to make a difference
if I can.

I wrote this song and I think
it's gonna fit a lot of you

just like it does me.

* I am a seeker,
a poor, sinful creature *

* There is no weaker than I am *

* I am a seeker
and you are a teacher *

* And you are the leader
so reach down *

* Would you reach out
and lead me? *

* Guide me, keep me
in the shelter of your care *

* Each day *

* 'Cause I am a seeker *

* And you are a teacher *

* And you are the leader *

* won't you show me the way *

* Lord won't you show me *

* show me the way *

You know, I think I heard what
Willie was trying to say to me.

Am I really doing what I'm
supposed to be doing?

Am I doing God's will,
my will, or theirs?

* Hello God, are you out there
Can you hear me *

* Are you listening anymore *

* Hello God, if we're still on
speaking terms *

* can you help me like before *

* I have questioned your
existence my resistance *

* leaves me cold can you help me
go the distance *

* Hello God, hello, hello *

* This whole world has
gone to pieces *

* Can we fix it
Is there time *

* Hate and violence
just increases *

* we're so selfish,
cruel, and blind *

* We fight and kill each other *

* In your name defending you *

* as if you love some
more than others *

* Well I can't believe
that's true *

* Hello God,
we really need you *

* We can't make it without you *

* Hello God
please forgive us *

* For we know not what we do *

* And the free will
you have given *

* we have made a mockery of *

* This is no way to be living *

* We're in great need
of your love *

* Hello God are you out there
Can you hear me *

* Are you listening anymore *

I'm good! I'm Prancer.

I don't know, in that outfit
you're more like a Vixen.

-Aw, thank you, thank you.
-Sorry I'm late I was uh,

in a dessert line and I do
love me some funnel cakes.

Oh I love them too,
I can't resist them.

[Jasmine]
Dolly and Jimmy? We're ready.

-Places, please.
-Sound man, hit me!

-Hey, Dolly!
-Hey!

* Out of all the reindeer you
know you're the mastermind *

Oh you're the king, Rudolph!

* Run, run, Rudolph Randolph
ain't too far behind *

* Run, run, Rudolph Santa's
gotta make it to town *

* Santa, make him hurry *

* tell him he can take
the freeway down *

* Oh yeah *

* Run, run, Rudolph I reelin'
like a merry go round *

* Said Santa to the boy child *

* "What have you been
longing for?" *

Oh I bet you want
something special.

* All I want for Christmas is a
rock and roll electric guitar *

He wants a big old
electric guitar.

* Then away went Rudolph
whizzing like a shooting star *

I see him as he's goin'.

* Run, run, Rudolph Santa's
gotta make it to town *

* Santa make him hurry, tell him
he can take the freeway down *

* Run, run, Rudolph I'm reelin'
like a merry go round *

* Oh yeah *

* Santa said to the girl child *

* "What would please you most
to get?" *

Come on, now.

* A little baby doll that can
cry, sleep, drink and wet *

* Then away went Rudolph
whizzin' like a Saber jet *

I see him.

* Run, run, Rudolph Santa's
gotta make it to town *

* Santa make him hurry, tell him
he can take the freeway down *

* Run, run, Rudolph I'm reelin'
like a merry go round *

* Run, run, Rudolph Santa's
gotta make it to town *

* Yeah yeah *

And cut!
That was perfect!

-I like that one!
-Oh, that was fun.

-But it's not big enough.
-Ugh, Jasmine.

What happened to that
shy little thing

that was hiding in
Kathryn's shadow?

Well, you nailed it
when you said

I wanted to stage the
Macy's Day Parade.

When I was a kid I was always
staging something like that

in my imagination.

Or the Oscars
or Super Bowl halftime show.

Dreams like that kept me alive
growing up in foster homes.

-Bless your heart.
-I don't have family.

I spend Christmas watching
holiday rom-coms

crying into my popcorn.

So to get the opportunity to
stage something like this?

Sam, this is what I have been
dreaming of my whole...

I know what it needs!

Chimney sweeps dancing
with the reindeer, yes!

Okay, props, dancers,
on stage, now!

Judy, we've known each other
long time,

since grammar school maybe

-12 years. [giggles]
-15 years ago.

Something like that.

But seriously, I need to ask
your opinion on something.

You're the only person
I can really trust

to tell me the truth.

Don't you think that
all the scenery,

all the dancers,
all the costumes,

is just a little bit
over the top?

That coming from a girl
with hooves and antlers

and a rhinestone reindeer suit?

-Really?
-[giggles]

But seriously though, I need a
little bit of time by myself.

You see, I need to think

because my head is just
really screwed up.

Well why don't you try
unscrewing your antlers?

Well that's a good idea,
I wanna get out of all this garb

and my hooves are just
killing me.

-I bet.
-[laughs]

So why don't you just hurry on
out of here and let me be alone

-'cause I need to ponder.
-Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

[train whistling]

[chimes]

[train chugging]
[chimes]

[train whistling]
[chimes]

Dolly! What you doing, girl?

Billy Ray, how'd you get on
that train?

It's not even running today.

Boy, it must be
some of that mountain magic.

You know, my buddy Willie said

you might be in need of some
wise advice.

-Well, have you got some for me?
-I might.

Huh, really? Well, come sit down
and tell me about it.

-'Cause I've been struggling.
-What's your problem?

Well I'm trying to do this big
uplifting Christmas special

here in my hometown and,
you know,

I wanted everybody to be
happy like I remembered,

I wanted the snow to be falling

but it's not feeling right
and there's no snow.

Dolly, now you of all people,
you know you don't need

all that stuff to make it feel
like Christmas.

You know,
I think you might be right.

* Now I don't need Central Park
or snowy weather *

* And I don't care
if it's 98 degrees *

* Just as long as we can be
together *

* Anywhere you are is
fine by me *

* Well now I don't need to
wrap up boxes *

* Or put lights on a tree *

* All I want is you
right here beside me *

* Your love is the only gift
I need *

* Well I don't need
tinsel and lights *

* or a tree with a star *

* All I need, all I need
is to hold you tight *

* No matter how near or far *

* We can have Christmas
where we are *

* Christmas where we are
hmm hmm *

* You can have your
Tennessee Christmas *

* And your evergreens *

* We can keep this spirit
with us *

* wherever it may lead *

* Oh oh oh *

* Oh oh oh *

* I can be your silent night *

* and I'll be your noel *

* All the joy you bring
to my life is *

* sweeter than silver bells *

* Oh I don't need
tinsel and lights *

* or a tree with a star *

* All I need, all I need
is to hold you tight *

* No matter how near or far
it don't matter baby *

* No matter how near or far *

* We can have Christmas
where we are *

* We can have Christmas
where we are *

* Hmm hmm,
oh Merry Christmas, baby *

* Merry Christmas baby *

* Let's have Christmas
where we are *

[giggles] That was good!

Come sit. Oh, I love singing
with you Billy Ray.

We've been friends a long time,
ain't we? Yeah.

You know, you've got me thinking
on some things

I wanted to remember.

I just wish I had something
to write it down on.

Oh yeah, I just so happen
to have this.

Willie said you
carry your own pencil.

Oh so Willie told you
about that too, huh?

I know all these years y'all
thought I was chesty.

I'm just packing a lot of stuff
in here.

Boy, you wise guys sure know how
to show up just when I need you.

Who you calling a wise guy?

Judy said you needed
some time alone and

I figured I'd find you up here.

You know, Willie taught me to
remember that at Christmas,

we'll always be the kids that we
were in Christmases past.

And now,
Billy Ray's got me realizing

that it's who you're with
in the present

that really makes it Christmas.

But you still haven't told me,
who you calling a wise guy?

Well I, I'm calling you a wise
guy, Steve, you are so wise.

I mean, that's why I count on
you for everything.

-Good lord how'd you get so big?
-Ah, same way you got so small.

-God's doings.
-God's doings?

[laughter]

I'd have been as tall as you

if I hadn't got so bunched up
at the top.

Oh now, you know,
I wish it would snow.

Oh Steve, you don't really
need snow

to make it a Christmas
full of magic,

it's all about who you're with.

[crashing]

[Miley] Whoa!
Man, what was that?

-Miley? Is that you?
-[Man] Where's Gentry?

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I just dodged

some falling scenery,
but it's okay.

-Well golly, you look beautiful.
-Merry Christmas, Aunt Dolly.

-Merry Christmas.
-So do you.

I'm still in my robe,
you're all dressed up.

-You look fabulous.
-Oh well, thank you.

I'm sorry I'm running late,
Aunt Dolly.

Well I know where you were.

How many roller coasters
have you ridden today?

All of them, some of them
two or three times.

Are you a speed freak
or an adrenaline junkie?

I'm all of it
now let's get back to work

so I can get on the Wild Eagle.

Well we'll get you back to work
and on the Wild Eagle

but I just wanted to take a
minute to say something to you

and I mean this
from the bottom of my heart.

I'm really proud of you,
I've always been proud of you

and I'm proud to be your
fairy godmother and you know

one thing that touches me most
of all is when you had me

on the Hannah Montana show
back years ago?

You really helped my career,

you introduced me
to a whole new set of fans!

Young ones!
Course, they're not all

as young as they used to be now.

Well, you wrote the handbook
on how to stay young.

Well I've got the doctor bills
to prove that.

And when the time comes, you're
giving me all the numbers.

Oh, I'm saving them for you.

I bet it looks like
the yellow pages by now.

-Oh, ain't you funny.
-[Jasmine] Alright everyone,

-on their marks.
-[Dolly] Okay smiley Miley,

-are you ready?
-I'm ready, Aunt Dolly.

Here we go.
[music]

* Hmm hmm, uh-huh, mhmmm *

* Christmas is a time for caring
being at your best *

* Christmas is a time
for sharing *

* knowing you've been blessed *

* Christmas is a time for giving
love is made of this *

* That's what Christmas is *

* Christmas is a joyful time
if you're the lucky ones *

* Some are blessed with gifts
and trinkets others have none *

* Some have feasts upon the
table others having crumbs *

* There are the haves
and the have nots *

* and you could be either one *

* It's all about kindness,
love, and compassion *

* Better to give than receive *

* That is a true fact
for those who don't know that *

* Well they are
the poorest indeed *

* And I hope you remember *

* Every December *

* That bright shining light
from above *

* The promise from God's lips
the greatest of all gifts *

* Wrapped up in his wondrous
love, his wondrous love *

* so rejoice in his glory,
glory *

* the great Christmas story *

* And to all
that you're sharing it with *

* uh-huh *

* You go tell it with passion
and love everlasting *

* 'Cause that's what Christmas *

* Is *

* it's a time for caring
being at your best *

* Christmas is
a time for sharing *

* knowing you've been blessed *

* Christmas is a time for giving
love is made of this *

* That's what Christmas *

* Is *

* hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm, hmm *

* That's what Christmas is
that's what Christmas is *

You had to have the last word,
didn't you?

-[Miley] [laughs]
-[Dolly] I'm cold in here,

-are you cold?
-Yeah.

I think they're afraid they're
gonna melt the fake snow.

-Oh great, thank you.
-[Jasmine] That was good, good!

-But it needs more.
-No, I thought it was great

-like it was, pure and simple.
-I love it.

-We like it.
-And I love funnel cake.

You're not gonna finish that,
right?

I got it.
So, I know what it needs.

-More carolers and, and--
-No, it was great.

When the music swells,
they make the tree dance.

[Sam] Jasmine, no, we don't have
time for that.

No more carolers,
no dancing trees.

[Jasmine] I can stage it
in 10 minutes.

[Sam] No flaming popcorn balls,
nothing.

[Jasmine] I just need more
lights maybe, more--

[Sam] I don't think you're
listening to me,

-there's no money.
-[Jasmine] What if we get

the little elf to just run
across the stage

at the same time?

[Sam] We're at the point
where less is more.

[Jasmine] No, no!
It's Dolly and it's Miley

-La, la, la, la.
-and it's a big moment!

Can't hear you adding things
when we can't add anything.

[chimes]

[music]

Zach Williams, don't tell me
you're another one of those

wise mountain men
that I'm gonna see today.

Well I don't know how wise I am
but I do know

a wiser man than both of us and

he's telling me
you could use a friend.

Well you see,

I wanted my special to be
fun and full of joy, you know,

like those great mountain
Christmases of a long time ago.

-Mhmmm.
-And I know everybody's

trying to do their best
to try to make it right.

But it's just kinda like
a balloon, you know,

that just keeps getting puffed
up bigger and bigger and bigger

-and you know what happens then.
-Yes, ma'am.

Well that's why I pray every day
for guidance.

Well I definitely know a thing
or two about needing guidance.

Well, I think we all
need some guidance.

[music]

* Every time I try to make it
on my own *

* Every time I try to stand
and start to fall *

* And all those lonely roads
that I have traveled on *

* There was Jesus *

* When the life I built came
crashing to the ground *

* When the friends I had
were nowhere to be found *

* I couldn't see it then
but I can see it now *

* Well there was Jesus *

* In the waiting,
in the searching *

* in the healing
and the hurting *

* Like a blessing buried in
the broken pieces *

* Every minute, every moment *

* where I've been
and where I'm going *

* Even when I didn't know it
or couldn't see it *

* There was Jesus *

* For this man who needs
amazing kind of grace *

* Hmm, hmm *

* The forgiveness at a price
I couldn't pay *

* I'm not perfect
so I thank God every day *

* Well there was Jesus *

* There was Jesus *

* In the waiting,
in the searching *

* in the healing
and the hurting *

* Like a blessing buried in
the broken pieces *

* Every minute, every moment *

* Where I've been
and where I'm going *

* Even when I didn't know it
or couldn't see it *

* There was Jesus
on the mountain *

* In the valleys,
there was Jesus *

* In the shadows of the alleys
there was Jesus *

* In the fire and the flood *

* There was Jesus *

* Always is and always was *

* No I never walk alone
never walk alone *

* You are always there *

* In the waiting,
and the searching *

* In the healing
and the hurting *

* Like a blessing buried in
the broken pieces *

* Every minute, every minute,
every moment, every moment *

* Where I've been
and where I'm going *

* Even when I didn't know it
or couldn't see it *

* There was Jesus *

* There was Jesus,
there was Jesus *

* There was Jesus *

So I'm thinking you're thinking

you might wanna write
some of this down.

Well is there anything
you wise men don't know?

[chuckles]

You know, I thought this show
was the right thing to do

and I felt like I would know

what was right
and what was wrong.

But I guess I haven't been
paying attention,

that's not unusual for me.

My husband always said,
"You're not hard of hearing,

you're just hard of listening."

Well it's like I've always said,
I've always been just a little

too good to be real bad and a
little too bad to be real good.

But that is gonna change,
right now.

-I'm glad they all got in okay.
-Yeah.

You know you're an honorary
member of this family,

I really think you should join
in on the song with us.

-No, I may have the honor
but I sure didn't get the voice.

[All]
Oh, but we love you anyway.

[laughs] Thanks, Rachel and
Cassie, y'all look so pretty.

-Don't they fix up good?
-Mhmmm.

[laughter]
-[Man] Jasmine, I only have

enough time
to rehearse this once.

Okay, ladies. Clock's ticking,

so if everybody could please
just be perfect.

-Oh, okay we can try that.
-Yeah, we can try.

[laughter]

Well I cannot believe of all the
singing sisters I have

I could only
muster up the two of you.

Muster up? You say that like
we're the worst of the lot.

Yeah, what are we?
Chopped possum?

Chopped possum,
that's a good 'un, Cassie.

I didn't mean that,
I just meant that

trying to get a bunch of
women together is like

trying to herd a bunch of
ground squirrels

so at least let's say hi to 'em.

[All] Hi, everybody!
Merry Christmas!

And hope for snow! [giggles]

You know, I think
I love snow so much

because I was born in
a big old snow storm.

Daddy had to ride down, bring up
Dr. Thomas to deliver you.

We paid for you
with a sack of cornmeal.

Yeah, I know and I have been
raking in the dough ever since.

How many times have we
heard that?

Remember when you wanted to be
a star and you promised

to do our chores for a week
or whatever

if we'd do background singing?

-Yeah.
-And you had the big idea

for us to sing in pig Latin?

I remember working you to death
on that.

Let's see if we can still
remember it.

I bet we can, let's see.

* Oh e-shay as-way eye-may
est-bay end-fray *

* e-shay as-way eye-may
est-bay end-fray *

* ooh she's the friendliest
enemy I believe ever did see *

* And she'd better get my baby
off her mind

* off-ay er-hay ind-may,
she's the friendliest enemy *

* I believe ever did see
better watch your friends *

* or they will steal you blind
eal-stay ou-yay ind-blay *

* Oh e-shay as-way eye-may
est-bay end-fray *

* e-shay as-way eye-may
est-bay end-fray *

* e-shay as-way
eye-may est-bay end-fray *

* e-shay as-way eye-may
est-bay end-fray *

* Ooh *

[giggles] That was fun!

Oh we might've been a little
nicer to you had we known

you were gonna grow up to be

-Dolly Parton.
-Dolly Parton.

-Oh, ain't you something.
-Well, I hope what we did to you

back then didn't hurt your
feelings too much.

Well I think some people deserve
to suffer a little.

-Now ain't you a funny rascal.
-[laughs]

Hey, why don't we bring out
some more of our family

and have them
sing something with us

that's not in pig Latin,
what do you say?

-I think it'd be great.
-Okay, this is all about family.

We know all about that,
don't we?

[music]

* When it's family
you forgive them *

* for they know not
what they do *

* When it's family
you accept them *

* 'cause you have no choice
but to *

* When it's family *

* they're a mirror of
the worst and best in you *

* And they always put you
to the test *

* Never clean up all the mess *

* You just pray for God
to do the rest *

* When it's family *

* Some are preachers,
some are gay *

* some are addicts,
drunks, and strays but *

* Not a one is turned away *

* When it's family *

* Some are lucky, others ain't *

* some are fighters,
others faint *

* Some are sinners,
some are saints *

* And it's all family *

* When it's family *

* You trust them and
your heart's an open door *

* When it's family *

* You tolerate what you'd
kill others for *

* When it's family *

* You love and hate
and take then give some more *

* Somehow you just
defy the mistakes *

* and try to find a better way *

* To solve the problems
day to day *

* in the family *

* You take the trouble
as it comes *

* Love them more than anyone *

* Good or bad or indifferent *

* It's still family *

* You choose your lovers,
you pick your friends *

* But not the family
that you're in *

* They'll be with you
'til the end *

* Family *

* When it's family *

* When it's family *

* Let me be all
that I should be *

* to the family *

* Hmm, hmm, hmm *

[music]

That's me, about 3 or 4 years
old out standing in my field.

Get it? Outstanding in my field?
[chuckles]

And I'd like to think
I still am.

You know when I was little,
I used to stand on the porch,

put a tobacco stick
down in one of the cracks

and I'd put a tin can on top and
just sing my little heart out

to the chickens and the kids
and I was thinking

that I was singing to
the whole wide world out there.

You know I've learned

that what happened yesterday
affects what happens today

and what happens today affects
what happens tomorrow.

Whether that's 24 hours
or 10 years away.

Now that's what any wise man or
any wise woman would tell you.

Yesterday this little girl
had hope

and today this little girl
still has hope

and at Christmas
every kid has hope.

That's magic in the mountains
or any place else.

We can't ever let ourselves
lose that.

Now I know what I have to do.

[Jasmine] Thank you everyone,
we are at half hour.

Let's reset for the
opening number.

Dolly Rebecca,
I can sense a mischievous mind.

Well I promise you the only
thing on my mind is that

now that it's showtime,

I just wanna spread
a little mountain magic.

Hmmm.

[music]

Well that looks good Cheryl Curl
thank you, thank you Fancy.

I guess I'm as good
as I'm gonna get.

Okay, thanks.
See you at showtime!

Dolly, I've never seen you look
more beautiful or so at peace.

Well thank you for the
compliment and I am at peace.

Well then that puts me at peace,
too.

[Sam] 15 minutes to showtime,
15 minutes.

-That's 15.
-That's what I heard.

Well I need to spend
a few of those 15 minutes

getting my thoughts together
if that's alright.

Okay alright, well just holler
at me when you're ready to

shimmy into this outfit.

-Okay, I'll holler.
-Okay.

Oh! Wait, you need to take this
to the band leader.

Don't ask me no questions, take
that to the band leader, okay?

Okay.

-Surprise!
-Well, Susan!

I didn't know you were coming.

Well let me just say I needed
a little dose of vitamin D.

D for Dolly. So I commandeered
the corporate jet and here I am.

-Good, I'm glad you're here.
-Hey, [laughs] Susan!

-Wow, what a surprise.
[laughter]

-You look terrific!
-Well, you know what?

It's Dollywood, the minute I
walked through those gates

all my burdens just disappeared.

-Aw.
-Well wait 'til you see

what Dolly's gonna do
for the rest of us.

That is my Christmas wish,

I hope I get a big gift
from you! [laughs]

-Oh, you're gonna.
-[laughs]

Oh, good luck, Dolly
and thank you.

Well thank you
and I just want you to know

I really appreciate you.

-Oh, I appreciate you! [laughs]
-We both do.

I appreciate you, Sam, but
Dolly, I really appreciate you.

[chuckles] We'll let you
get ready.

Yeah, I need to.
Okay, see you in a bit.

-Sam?
-Mhmmm.

You seem a little tense,
what's going on?

Oh, nothing, it's good.

Yeah smooth, smooth as a
Dollywood milkshake.

Well speaking of, have you tried
a funnel cake?

I mean it is a revelation.
To be honest with you,

I don't really know
if it's good for you.

I guess they must
cook it with a funnel.

Oh, I was so sure it would snow.

-Dolly Rebecca?
-Sam!

-How's my beautiful girl?
-Oh, I'm excited,

I'm getting ready to wish the
whole world Merry Christmas.

Ain't you glad I ain't wearing
that big old hoop skirt?

-Oh yeah, why not?
-Oh I just got tired of

hooting and hollering about it,
that was fun though, wasn't it?

-So great, God bless you.
-Oh, you too, Sam.

-Break a leg.
-Thank you.

Hey, hey you, psst! Come here.
Yeah, you. What's your name?

Uh, Woody Ms., Ms. Dolly.
Ms., Ms. Dolly Parton.

Well Woody, I want you to take
this and I want you...

Okay?

-Just trust me.
-Oh, okay.

-Go!
-[sighs]

Sorry!

'Scuse me!

-Hey!
-Sorry!

Woody!

Sorry, Mr. Haskell, sir.

It's okay, just watch where
you're going next time.

-Sorry.
-Bless.

Okay, places.
On your marks, please.

Jasmine?

Look uh, whatever happens
tonight I just want you to know

I spoke with my wife and
Mary and I would be thrilled

to have you join us
for Christmas this year.

Even after I
exploded your budget

and cost you all those
meal penalties?

You've done an amazing job.
You should be really proud.

Which is all the more reason

I can't let you spend
another Christmas

crying in your popcorn.

So come stay with us.
We got a family full of kids,

and you're great with kids.

I am?

-You're good with kids.
-[laughs]

Sam, this may be the kindest
thing anyone's ever done for me.

I'd be happy to come.

But I'm still mad about
those dancing trees.

Who's that guy
and what's he doing?

[Man] Live in 15 seconds.

Okay, we're live in 15 seconds.

Dolly Parton!

[cheering and applause]

You know, I can't come
to these mountains

without thinking of
mom and daddy.

I can't sing a song or do a show

without thinking of
mom and daddy.

You know the bible says honor
thy father and thy mother.

Well I've tried to do that and
I hope they'd be proud of me.

Now I just wish
they'd lived long enough

to see all the great things

that have happened to me
through the years.

I thank God,

I thank my Uncle Bill
who helped me get started.

And I most of all thank
mom and daddy

and I hope that I haven't
crammed God or Jesus

down anybody's throat,

I hate that when it happened
to me back then

but it 'tis the season.

I guess nobody knows for certain
if there is a heaven.

But if there is, I just hope
to hell I go. [laughs]

That sounds just like something
my daddy would've said

when I used to say things
like that as a kid.

Old mama would get all over me
and daddy would say,

"Oh Abby Lee leave that young'un
alone, she's just being funny.

Don't your bible say a happy
heart does good like medicine

or something like that?"

Well I guess I've just been
trying to make your heart smile.

And I write a lot of
inspirational songs

to try and make people think
because I do think

we need to believe in something
bigger than ourselves.

Now I believe the kingdom of
heaven is within

and God is good and God is love.

Now who wouldn't wanna
believe in that?

[cheering and applause]

[Jasmine] Did anyone know
she rewrote the opening?

Everything'll be fine.

She's working her
mountain magic.

* Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm *

* When life is good again
I'll be a better friend *

* A bigger person when
life is good again *

* More thoughtful than I've been
I'll be so different then *

* More in the moment when
life is good again *

* I'll open up my heart *

* And let the whole world in *

* I'll try to make amends *

* When life is good again *

* We've been brought
to our knees *

* We've been so ill at ease *

* There are no guarantees *

* But you know life goes on
this too shall pass away *

* Bring new and different days *

* We need to change our ways
and right our wrongs *

* Let's open up our hearts *

* and let the whole world in *

* Let's try to make amends *

* When life is good again *

* I'll open up my doors again *

* and hear the message
in the wind *

* Repent of all my sins,
hallelujah *

* When life is good again *

* I'll try to be someone
on which you can depend *

* A helping hand to lend *

* Let's open up our eyes
and see what's going on *

* If we're to move along
from where we've been *

* Let's open up our hearts *

* And let the love shine in,
shine in *

* We've all got knees to bend *

* And we'll just pray
'til the end *

* Ask God's forgiveness when *

* life is good again *

-Gigi, it's snowing!
-It's snowing?

* And it's gonna be good again *

* It's gonna be, mhmmm,
it's gonna be *

* It's gonna be good again *

* It'll be alright,
it'll be alright *

* oh God's the reason
for all things *

* You want rainbows,
you get rain *

* We'll all be forever changed,
forever changed *

* I'll sail my boat
and fly my kite *

* Walk in the park,
go out at night *

* And hold my loved ones
extra tight *

* When everything is
on the mend *

* I'll eat and drink
with my old friends *

* Sing and play my mandolin
do do do do do do *

* We'll make it through
this long dark night *

* Darkness fades
when faced with light *

* Everything's
gonna be alright *

* when life is good again *

* And it's gonna be good again *
