Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:40,518 --> 00:01:41,853
Hey, Hope. Is that you?
2
00:01:41,853 --> 00:01:44,146
Yep. It's the first day
of December,
3
00:01:44,146 --> 00:01:46,315
and that means
it's time.
4
00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:48,191
Thank you for helping me
get it to school.
5
00:01:48,191 --> 00:01:49,986
You know how much
this means to me.
6
00:01:49,986 --> 00:01:52,154
- On my way.
- Great. I'll see you soon.
7
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:16,512
Nate.
8
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:18,014
So glad you're here.
9
00:02:18,014 --> 00:02:20,016
- So very, very glad.
- Likewise.
10
00:02:20,016 --> 00:02:22,101
- Please have a seat.
- Thank you.
11
00:02:23,185 --> 00:02:24,436
I have to say,
12
00:02:24,436 --> 00:02:26,355
it's so great
to be back in Larchmont Falls.
13
00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:29,274
Oh, that's right.
You grew up here.
14
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,234
Yeah. It's always been my dream
to move back here.
15
00:02:31,234 --> 00:02:33,195
As you know, we haven't had
a city manager
16
00:02:33,195 --> 00:02:34,906
for a several months now,
17
00:02:34,906 --> 00:02:37,366
which is why we brought you in
so fast.
18
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:40,036
I mean, the Jingle Bell Jubilee
is racing towards us
19
00:02:40,036 --> 00:02:41,120
like a runaway train.
20
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,455
Ah. The annual
Jingle Bell Jubilee.
21
00:02:43,455 --> 00:02:46,084
That was the highlight
of my childhood every Christmas.
22
00:02:46,084 --> 00:02:48,168
- Ah.
- Uh, but it's December now.
23
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:49,796
You must have everything
planned.
24
00:02:49,796 --> 00:02:52,674
Well, um...
25
00:02:52,674 --> 00:02:55,134
That's only
a few weeks away.
26
00:02:55,134 --> 00:02:57,929
Well, like I said, we haven't
had someone in the position
27
00:02:57,929 --> 00:02:59,639
for some time.
28
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,891
Oh. I get it.
Yeah.
29
00:03:01,891 --> 00:03:04,476
Which is why we need you to hit
the ground running on this.
30
00:03:04,476 --> 00:03:05,895
Sure.
31
00:03:05,895 --> 00:03:07,479
There are plenty
of jubilee planning documents
32
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:09,857
from past years
on our computer network.
33
00:03:09,857 --> 00:03:11,274
Ah.
34
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:13,569
You're a smart
young man, Nate.
35
00:03:13,569 --> 00:03:15,947
You accomplished
a lot back in Arbor City.
36
00:03:15,947 --> 00:03:17,824
I'm sure you can
handle this.
37
00:03:19,408 --> 00:03:21,661
Of course.
38
00:03:36,801 --> 00:03:38,803
Ah, the first sign
of Christmas.
39
00:03:38,803 --> 00:03:41,304
Hope Wilson decorates
her cedar chest.
40
00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:45,434
Well, Allison, it's the official
kickoff day of Regiftmas.
41
00:03:45,434 --> 00:03:47,979
Did you know that there are
four other teachers here
42
00:03:47,979 --> 00:03:49,605
who are doing it
this year?
43
00:03:49,605 --> 00:03:51,398
And I even heard that there are
a couple of teachers
44
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:52,817
from the elementary school
who are doing it.
45
00:03:52,817 --> 00:03:55,111
Wouldn't it be great
if everyone did it?
46
00:03:55,111 --> 00:03:57,071
You are
the eternal optimist.
47
00:03:57,071 --> 00:03:58,363
Hey. You never know.
48
00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:02,284
- See you later.
- Sounds good.
49
00:04:15,631 --> 00:04:17,633
Oh, hey, Brandon.
Hold up.
50
00:04:17,633 --> 00:04:19,051
We need to get
your school records,
51
00:04:19,051 --> 00:04:23,305
which are in
one of these moving boxes.
52
00:04:23,305 --> 00:04:25,183
Oh, boy.
53
00:04:25,183 --> 00:04:26,976
Hey, no worries.
We'll find it.
54
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:30,312
- So, Dad?
- Yeah?
55
00:04:30,312 --> 00:04:32,272
I was just wondering,
56
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:35,526
'cause it's almost
Christmas break already.
57
00:04:35,526 --> 00:04:37,612
I can always just
start school after New Year's.
58
00:04:37,612 --> 00:04:39,238
Oh, hey.
Nice try.
59
00:04:39,238 --> 00:04:40,489
But you can't miss
too much school.
60
00:04:40,489 --> 00:04:41,866
That's not good.
61
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,039
This is a new city.
62
00:04:48,039 --> 00:04:50,041
You're going to make
a lot of new friends,
63
00:04:50,041 --> 00:04:51,834
get to know your teachers,
64
00:04:51,834 --> 00:04:53,586
and get to experience
the Jingle Bell Jubilee
65
00:04:53,586 --> 00:04:55,337
for the first time.
66
00:04:55,337 --> 00:04:56,964
Jingle Bell Jubilee?
67
00:04:56,964 --> 00:04:59,801
Oh. The Larchmont Falls
Jingle Bell Jubilee
68
00:04:59,801 --> 00:05:02,261
is only the greatest
Christmas celebration
69
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:03,805
on the entire planet.
70
00:05:03,805 --> 00:05:06,389
So, every year, on the week
leading up to Christmas,
71
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:08,601
City Hall opens up
for this big festival.
72
00:05:08,601 --> 00:05:10,812
Music, food,
events and games,
73
00:05:10,812 --> 00:05:13,105
and then,
the Jingle Bell Jubilee dance
74
00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:15,357
on Christmas Eve
for the big finale.
75
00:05:15,357 --> 00:05:17,693
Okay.
That sounds like fun.
76
00:05:17,693 --> 00:05:18,945
Oh, oh.
It's super fun.
77
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:27,703
Just bear with me,
Mr. Albertson.
78
00:05:27,703 --> 00:05:30,998
I'm entering Brandon's
information into our system.
79
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:33,876
You can call me Nate.
80
00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:35,878
Okay, Nate.
81
00:05:37,462 --> 00:05:39,507
I think you and your son
are going to love it here.
82
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:42,467
Oh. Uh, my dad
actually grew up here.
83
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,178
Oh.
84
00:05:44,178 --> 00:05:45,721
Yeah. My father got transferred
out west
85
00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:48,516
right when I was about to start
my senior year of high school.
86
00:05:48,516 --> 00:05:50,433
So, I guess
I never got over leaving.
87
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:53,187
Well, I'm happy
you made your way back.
88
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:55,273
What do you do for work,
if I may ask?
89
00:05:55,273 --> 00:05:57,775
He's the new city manager.
90
00:05:57,775 --> 00:05:59,359
Really?
91
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:01,654
Yeah. I have a lot of experience
in government,
92
00:06:01,654 --> 00:06:03,656
so when I saw there was
an open position...
93
00:06:03,656 --> 00:06:06,158
...you grabbed it.
Smart move.
94
00:06:06,158 --> 00:06:08,911
We'll see.
There is a lot to do.
95
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:11,706
Well, I'm sure you'll be up
for the challenge.
96
00:06:11,706 --> 00:06:13,207
I am.
97
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:18,337
Oh. I will need Brandon's
previous school records.
98
00:06:18,337 --> 00:06:21,549
Oh. I think I left them
on the back seat.
99
00:06:21,549 --> 00:06:22,925
I will go get them.
100
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:25,136
No problem, Nate.
101
00:06:25,136 --> 00:06:27,179
How about I give you
a little tour of the school
102
00:06:27,179 --> 00:06:28,681
while your dad gets us
what we need?
103
00:06:28,681 --> 00:06:30,892
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, sure.
104
00:06:30,892 --> 00:06:32,727
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
105
00:06:32,727 --> 00:06:34,604
Great.
106
00:06:35,938 --> 00:06:38,190
Okay.
Uh, you almost have it.
107
00:06:38,190 --> 00:06:40,192
This is much better.
You just--
108
00:06:40,192 --> 00:06:41,611
You need to clean up
the opening.
109
00:06:41,611 --> 00:06:44,404
Give me one more example
in the middle, and...
110
00:06:49,535 --> 00:06:51,453
It's really solid.
111
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:53,789
Your thesis
is really strong.
112
00:06:53,789 --> 00:06:55,708
But the description
in the last paragraph
113
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:58,210
needs to be
a little more detailed.
114
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:00,296
Okay?
See you tomorrow.
115
00:07:01,505 --> 00:07:02,757
Oh, thank you.
116
00:07:02,757 --> 00:07:04,383
Bye.
117
00:07:07,803 --> 00:07:10,014
I thought
I recognized you.
118
00:07:10,014 --> 00:07:12,016
Can I help you
with something?
119
00:07:12,016 --> 00:07:13,976
You're Hope Wilson, right?
120
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:15,477
That's me.
121
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:18,397
I'm Nate.
Nate Albertson.
122
00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:20,149
We were
in calculus together.
123
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:22,985
Right in this very school,
as a matter of fact.
124
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:27,073
Oh, yeah. Nate.
Now I do recognize you.
125
00:07:27,073 --> 00:07:29,408
Actually, you look exactly
the same.
126
00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:32,119
Well, if you don't count
a few minor wrinkles.
127
00:07:33,245 --> 00:07:34,956
Come in.
128
00:07:34,956 --> 00:07:37,124
So, what brings you
to my classroom?
129
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:38,542
Looking to brush up on
your Shakespeare?
130
00:07:39,794 --> 00:07:43,130
No. My son's starting school
here tomorrow.
131
00:07:43,130 --> 00:07:45,091
I was signing him up, and
I saw you from the doorway.
132
00:07:45,091 --> 00:07:47,176
Tomorrow?
So close to Christmas?
133
00:07:47,176 --> 00:07:49,220
Yeah. We just came over
from Arbor City.
134
00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:50,805
I'm the new city manager,
135
00:07:50,805 --> 00:07:52,348
so they wanted me
to get started right away,
136
00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:54,141
with the Jingle Bell Jubilee
coming up.
137
00:07:54,141 --> 00:07:57,895
Well, it's nice to meet you,
Mr. City Manager.
138
00:07:57,895 --> 00:07:59,438
Yeah.
Nice to meet you, too.
139
00:07:59,438 --> 00:08:00,982
Again.
140
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,737
So, that's the big tour.
141
00:08:06,737 --> 00:08:08,406
I think you're really going
to like it here.
142
00:08:08,406 --> 00:08:09,615
Yeah. Seems like
a great school.
143
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:11,701
I love
all the Christmas decorations.
144
00:08:11,701 --> 00:08:12,743
Me, too.
145
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:13,828
Yeah. I loved it here.
146
00:08:13,828 --> 00:08:15,079
Been waiting to come back
ever since.
147
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:17,707
- I think I hear my dad.
- Let's go check it out.
148
00:08:19,417 --> 00:08:21,460
You moved away senior year,
right?
149
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:24,296
Yep. My dad got transferred,
and that was it.
150
00:08:24,296 --> 00:08:26,841
I remember.
You were like a mystery man.
151
00:08:26,841 --> 00:08:28,342
Here one minute,
gone the next.
152
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:30,386
But I never forgot this place.
153
00:08:30,386 --> 00:08:32,096
You mean this room?
154
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:36,142
Yeah. I keep feeling like maybe
my English class was in here.
155
00:08:36,142 --> 00:08:37,560
Oh, maybe.
156
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:40,896
I remember Mrs. Fitzsimmons
was in here at one point.
157
00:08:40,896 --> 00:08:42,314
Yeah.
158
00:08:42,314 --> 00:08:44,567
Ah, Mr. Albertson. I see you've
already met Ms. Wilson.
159
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:47,528
Sort of.
We actually know each other.
160
00:08:47,528 --> 00:08:48,529
Oh.
161
00:08:48,529 --> 00:08:50,072
We went
to school here together.
162
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:51,991
Oh, wow.
Small world.
163
00:08:51,991 --> 00:08:55,369
And now, Ms. Wilson will be
Brandon's homeroom teacher.
164
00:08:55,369 --> 00:08:57,455
- Hi.
- Really? That's great.
165
00:08:57,455 --> 00:09:02,251
Uh, we should get you
back home so I can get to work.
166
00:09:02,251 --> 00:09:05,963
Huh. "Regiftmas"?
167
00:09:05,963 --> 00:09:09,383
Uh, yeah.
It's just a little thing I do.
168
00:09:09,383 --> 00:09:11,802
It's not little.
169
00:09:11,802 --> 00:09:14,847
Oh. Is this cedar?
I love that smell.
170
00:09:14,847 --> 00:09:16,932
Yeah.
It's my Grandmother Helen's.
171
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:19,185
She was a teacher, too.
172
00:09:19,185 --> 00:09:21,604
She started it, right?
173
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:25,232
Started what?
I'm confused.
174
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:28,027
Well, when I was a little girl,
my grandmother used to say
175
00:09:28,027 --> 00:09:31,197
that Christmas had become
too much about shopping,
176
00:09:31,197 --> 00:09:32,782
about getting things,
177
00:09:32,782 --> 00:09:34,909
when most of us had been given
so much already
178
00:09:34,909 --> 00:09:37,369
and had so many things
we just didn't use.
179
00:09:37,369 --> 00:09:39,580
She just--
She thought there should be
180
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:42,208
more gratitude involved.
181
00:09:42,208 --> 00:09:43,918
I like that.
182
00:09:45,002 --> 00:09:48,214
Yeah. Well,
it wasn't just talk.
183
00:09:48,214 --> 00:09:50,509
There was a needy family
in her neighborhood,
184
00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:52,343
and she was worried
185
00:09:52,343 --> 00:09:56,347
what they would have
for Christmas.
186
00:09:56,347 --> 00:10:01,102
So, she started putting things
in this cedar chest,
187
00:10:01,102 --> 00:10:03,604
things that she owned
and loved,
188
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:06,690
but didn't use
for whatever reason.
189
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:08,317
And then,
at Christmastime,
190
00:10:08,317 --> 00:10:11,862
she surprised the family
with all of these presents.
191
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:14,281
They were so touched that
192
00:10:14,281 --> 00:10:18,160
she decided to do it
for a needy family every year.
193
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,663
All year long, my grandma
would put things
194
00:10:20,663 --> 00:10:22,039
in this chest.
195
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,333
And eventually,
other family members
196
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:26,919
started re-gifting
and contributing,
197
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:29,589
and, well, she was able to help
a bunch of families
198
00:10:29,589 --> 00:10:31,423
every Christmas.
199
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:33,759
Regiftmas.
200
00:10:35,094 --> 00:10:36,804
Exactly.
201
00:10:48,525 --> 00:10:51,443
This is not helpful.
202
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:53,904
Hey, Dad. Do you know where
the box with my books is?
203
00:10:53,904 --> 00:10:55,990
I thought maybe I should
donate some to Regiftmas.
204
00:10:58,784 --> 00:11:00,579
- Dad?
- Huh?
205
00:11:00,579 --> 00:11:02,288
- My books?
- Uh, oh, no.
206
00:11:02,288 --> 00:11:04,165
I don't know, buddy.
207
00:11:04,165 --> 00:11:06,000
But they've got to be somewhere
over there.
208
00:11:07,418 --> 00:11:09,170
What are you doing?
209
00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:12,464
I am going through
the old jubilee plans
210
00:11:12,464 --> 00:11:14,842
on the city's database.
211
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:18,721
Where I also found the menu
212
00:11:18,721 --> 00:11:21,432
for the Chamber of Commerce's
spring get-together.
213
00:11:21,432 --> 00:11:22,808
Fruit cup appetizer.
214
00:11:22,808 --> 00:11:26,353
Yeah? Wow.
That's, uh... healthy.
215
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:27,647
Yeah.
216
00:11:27,647 --> 00:11:30,316
Just not very helpful.
217
00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:34,028
This looks so good.
218
00:11:34,028 --> 00:11:37,532
Just wait
until you try it.
219
00:11:37,532 --> 00:11:39,491
Mmm!
220
00:11:39,491 --> 00:11:41,202
- Right?
- Dark hot chocolate.
221
00:11:41,202 --> 00:11:42,786
Greatest thing about winter.
222
00:11:42,786 --> 00:11:44,914
- Besides Christmas, of course.
- Obviously.
223
00:11:46,290 --> 00:11:48,417
Oh. So, what
should we go see?
224
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:51,754
Mmm... Oh. How about
"Christmas at the Drive-In?"
225
00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:54,549
It just came out.
I heard it's really good.
226
00:11:54,549 --> 00:11:56,509
Got it.
It's playing at 9:00.
227
00:11:56,509 --> 00:11:58,595
Great.
228
00:11:58,595 --> 00:12:02,264
But first, there's something
I want to talk to you about.
229
00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:03,432
What's that?
230
00:12:03,432 --> 00:12:05,560
How well
do you know Nate?
231
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:06,686
Nate?
232
00:12:06,686 --> 00:12:09,313
Nate Albertson?
233
00:12:09,313 --> 00:12:10,940
The new dad who came into
your class after school.
234
00:12:10,940 --> 00:12:13,652
Oh, right. That Nate.
235
00:12:13,652 --> 00:12:16,362
A little bit.
We had some classes together.
236
00:12:16,362 --> 00:12:17,738
Oh.
237
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:19,406
Why?
238
00:12:19,406 --> 00:12:22,493
Well,
I heard that he's a widower,
239
00:12:22,493 --> 00:12:24,245
and it's been
a few months already
240
00:12:24,245 --> 00:12:25,829
since Adam and I broke up,
241
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:28,791
and Nate is really,
really handsome.
242
00:12:29,959 --> 00:12:31,252
And?
243
00:12:31,252 --> 00:12:34,255
And, well,
244
00:12:34,255 --> 00:12:36,048
I wanted to first see if--
245
00:12:36,048 --> 00:12:38,551
I mean, you're not interested
in him or anything?
246
00:12:38,551 --> 00:12:40,595
No.
Of course not.
247
00:12:40,595 --> 00:12:42,681
It's just, I know you.
248
00:12:42,681 --> 00:12:44,014
And if you
want something,
249
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:46,267
and you think someone else
wants the same thing,
250
00:12:46,267 --> 00:12:47,977
you always
just let them have it.
251
00:12:47,977 --> 00:12:50,229
You never go after
what you want.
252
00:12:50,229 --> 00:12:52,524
I am not interested
in Nate.
253
00:12:52,524 --> 00:12:54,149
I promise.
254
00:12:54,149 --> 00:12:56,986
But I take it you are?
255
00:12:56,986 --> 00:12:59,280
Well, uh, maybe.
256
00:13:01,448 --> 00:13:02,825
Are you sure?
257
00:13:02,825 --> 00:13:04,994
Yes. I'm sure.
258
00:13:04,994 --> 00:13:06,787
I am so sure that
if I see him again,
259
00:13:06,787 --> 00:13:09,832
I'll try to set
you two up.
260
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:11,250
How are you going
to do that?
261
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,670
You said the two of you
hardly know each other.
262
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:15,337
I know.
But he just got here,
263
00:13:15,337 --> 00:13:17,881
so he probably doesn't know
a lot of people.
264
00:13:19,925 --> 00:13:22,762
Wait. Do you remember
my friend Andy?
265
00:13:22,762 --> 00:13:24,346
- The hockey player?
- Yeah. That's the one.
266
00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:26,390
Oh, yeah. You guys went out
a few times, right?
267
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:27,517
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
268
00:13:27,517 --> 00:13:29,435
So, we're still friends,
and he called me
269
00:13:29,435 --> 00:13:31,270
and wanted to know
if I wanted to go
270
00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:32,772
pick out a Christmas tree
with him.
271
00:13:32,772 --> 00:13:34,398
He says I have some sort of
expert eye.
272
00:13:35,941 --> 00:13:37,777
Anyway,
we're going Wednesday night.
273
00:13:37,777 --> 00:13:41,238
What if you came with,
and then maybe
274
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,449
I can invite Nate
to come along, too?
275
00:13:43,449 --> 00:13:46,368
It'll be fun and Christmassy,
and who knows?
276
00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:48,912
Maybe there'll be
some sparks between you two.
277
00:13:48,912 --> 00:13:51,583
Are you sure you feel okay
about doing this for me?
278
00:13:51,583 --> 00:13:53,167
Of course.
279
00:13:54,168 --> 00:13:55,754
You're the best.
280
00:14:05,429 --> 00:14:06,765
Hey.
281
00:14:06,765 --> 00:14:08,891
- Hey.
- Coming to second period?
282
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:11,226
I wish.
Brandon forgot his gym stuff.
283
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:12,853
Oh, and you get a break
from the office.
284
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:15,189
Yeah, except I don't really
have time for one
285
00:14:15,189 --> 00:14:16,691
until December 26th.
286
00:14:16,691 --> 00:14:18,108
'Tis the season.
287
00:14:18,108 --> 00:14:19,943
Uh, here.
I can bring it for you,
288
00:14:19,943 --> 00:14:21,445
and make sure that
he gets it.
289
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:23,072
Oh, thanks.
That would be great.
290
00:14:23,072 --> 00:14:24,406
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
291
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:29,411
Wait. Uh, the vice-principal,
my friend Allison?
292
00:14:29,411 --> 00:14:32,122
Well, we're going to help
my friend Andy
293
00:14:32,122 --> 00:14:33,666
pick out a Christmas tree
tomorrow.
294
00:14:33,666 --> 00:14:35,417
You should come with us.
It'll be fun.
295
00:14:35,417 --> 00:14:37,044
We can all do dinner first.
296
00:14:37,044 --> 00:14:39,046
Thanks for the offer,
but I'm building
297
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:41,256
this annual Jingle Bell Jubilee
brick by brick.
298
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:43,843
So, I will be
burning the midnight oil.
299
00:14:43,843 --> 00:14:46,721
Well, don't burn yourself out.
It's almost Christmas.
300
00:14:46,721 --> 00:14:48,097
Thanks.
I'll do my best.
301
00:14:48,097 --> 00:14:49,682
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
302
00:14:49,682 --> 00:14:52,519
But seriously,
it might be nice for you
303
00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:54,353
to get out
and start reconnecting
304
00:14:54,353 --> 00:14:55,522
with people here, right?
305
00:14:55,522 --> 00:14:57,649
After all,
you are a public servant.
306
00:14:57,649 --> 00:14:59,900
You kind of got to meet
the public.
307
00:15:01,861 --> 00:15:04,446
Okay, okay.
Uh, yeah. I could use a break.
308
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:06,658
Brain overload.
309
00:15:06,658 --> 00:15:08,158
How about...
310
00:15:09,451 --> 00:15:12,580
Here's my number,
and you just text me the deets.
311
00:15:31,056 --> 00:15:33,183
Okay. So, the Christmas
charity drive is over there.
312
00:15:33,183 --> 00:15:35,687
That's that area,
right near the entrance.
313
00:15:35,687 --> 00:15:38,188
And then, instead of having
a Santa booth,
314
00:15:38,188 --> 00:15:40,525
I put Santa
in the middle of it all.
315
00:15:40,525 --> 00:15:44,153
They're just mocking it up
to give us a feel for it.
316
00:15:44,153 --> 00:15:46,865
Well, it's a new arrangement,
but you know what?
317
00:15:46,865 --> 00:15:49,534
I think might work better than
what we had before.
318
00:15:49,534 --> 00:15:50,951
Great.
319
00:15:50,951 --> 00:15:52,244
I've been reconnecting
with the vendors,
320
00:15:52,244 --> 00:15:53,788
and they're going to tell me
what's what.
321
00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:55,330
Help me piece
the rest together.
322
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:57,332
Excellent.
Then I'll be, uh--
323
00:15:57,332 --> 00:16:00,210
Oh, oh. About
the Christmas charity drive.
324
00:16:00,210 --> 00:16:03,506
Um, the donated gifts,
where are they being stored?
325
00:16:03,506 --> 00:16:05,592
I haven't been able
to find them.
326
00:16:05,592 --> 00:16:07,968
Uh, well, um--
327
00:16:09,804 --> 00:16:12,682
Okay. Please don't tell me that
there's no donations.
328
00:16:12,682 --> 00:16:15,267
No. There are some.
329
00:16:15,267 --> 00:16:18,646
From what I've heard, a lot of
people depend on the drive
330
00:16:18,646 --> 00:16:20,690
to have a good Christmas.
331
00:16:20,690 --> 00:16:21,900
Well, of course.
There are some.
332
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:23,943
Just, you know,
not nearly enough.
333
00:16:23,943 --> 00:16:25,862
Again, nobody
has really had the time
334
00:16:25,862 --> 00:16:27,488
to publicize this.
335
00:16:27,488 --> 00:16:28,989
- Okay.
- But you know what?
336
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,408
You're a capable
and a creative individual.
337
00:16:31,408 --> 00:16:33,243
We just need to jump-start
the donations,
338
00:16:33,243 --> 00:16:34,871
and you're just the man
to do it.
339
00:16:34,871 --> 00:16:36,706
But how am I possibly
going to get
340
00:16:36,706 --> 00:16:38,708
that many donations
in time?
341
00:16:38,708 --> 00:16:39,918
Where there's a will,
there's a way.
342
00:16:39,918 --> 00:16:41,711
Hope springs eternal.
343
00:16:49,259 --> 00:16:51,094
Ah. Hope.
344
00:16:54,807 --> 00:16:56,935
Hope.
345
00:17:06,276 --> 00:17:07,904
Oh, Hope.
346
00:17:07,904 --> 00:17:10,280
Oh, hey.
You're here early.
347
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,824
Thank goodness you are, too.
348
00:17:11,824 --> 00:17:13,492
Well, what's going on?
Is everything okay?
349
00:17:13,492 --> 00:17:14,827
I need to talk to you
about something,
350
00:17:14,827 --> 00:17:16,495
it's really,
really important.
351
00:17:16,495 --> 00:17:17,956
What?
352
00:17:25,295 --> 00:17:29,049
So, if the whole school loves
your annual Regiftmas tradition,
353
00:17:29,049 --> 00:17:30,718
then why not the whole city?
354
00:17:30,718 --> 00:17:32,219
I mean,
that could be the spark
355
00:17:32,219 --> 00:17:34,639
that the Christmas gift
drive needs.
356
00:17:34,639 --> 00:17:35,848
Wow, Nate.
357
00:17:35,848 --> 00:17:38,935
Uh, I'm speechless.
358
00:17:38,935 --> 00:17:40,352
So, you like the idea?
359
00:17:40,352 --> 00:17:43,022
I love the idea.
360
00:17:43,022 --> 00:17:46,108
Okay.
Then we got to go fast.
361
00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:47,652
Um, can you make it
to City Hall tomorrow?
362
00:17:47,652 --> 00:17:48,861
We can pitch it
to the mayor.
363
00:17:48,861 --> 00:17:50,153
Me?
364
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:52,657
And me.
What do you say?
365
00:17:54,283 --> 00:17:57,327
Uh... I say
I'll come on my lunch hour.
366
00:17:57,327 --> 00:17:59,329
Okay. Thank you.
367
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:01,081
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
368
00:18:02,792 --> 00:18:04,418
Hey, Allison. Andy.
369
00:18:04,418 --> 00:18:06,713
- Hey, hey.
- Hey.
370
00:18:06,713 --> 00:18:08,881
Yeah. I spotted him in
the parking lot on the way in.
371
00:18:08,881 --> 00:18:12,092
Oh, I watch a lot
of the games.
372
00:18:12,092 --> 00:18:13,886
Oh. The games?
373
00:18:13,886 --> 00:18:15,722
Uh, yeah.
This is my friend Andy.
374
00:18:15,722 --> 00:18:16,889
- He's a semi-pro hockey player.
- Oh.
375
00:18:16,889 --> 00:18:18,516
He's really good.
376
00:18:19,892 --> 00:18:21,811
Andy, this is Nate.
377
00:18:21,811 --> 00:18:24,187
- Good to meet you, Nate.
- Likewise.
378
00:18:24,187 --> 00:18:25,815
Hi, Nate.
379
00:18:25,815 --> 00:18:28,233
Hi, Allison.
Good to see you again.
380
00:18:32,154 --> 00:18:34,699
So, hockey, huh?
That can get a little rough.
381
00:18:34,699 --> 00:18:37,660
Well,
I haven't lost a tooth yet.
382
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:40,788
Ah. Well, that's good for you
and your dentist.
383
00:18:40,788 --> 00:18:42,205
Uh, yeah.
384
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:43,791
Nate just had
the greatest idea.
385
00:18:43,791 --> 00:18:45,585
Well, I hope it is.
386
00:18:45,585 --> 00:18:47,837
We are going to try to do
Regiftmas
387
00:18:47,837 --> 00:18:50,130
for the Jingle Bell Jubilee
Christmas charity drive.
388
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:51,758
Wow.
389
00:18:51,758 --> 00:18:53,383
Wow. That'd be awesome.
390
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:55,260
That's the thing with your
grandmother's cedar chest.
391
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:56,721
- Right?
- Yeah, yeah.
392
00:18:56,721 --> 00:18:59,139
- Nice.
- Where did this come from?
393
00:18:59,139 --> 00:19:00,767
Well, it's kind of
a Hail Mary.
394
00:19:00,767 --> 00:19:02,977
Sorry to pivot sports there,
Andy.
395
00:19:02,977 --> 00:19:04,646
Hmm.
I'll allow it.
396
00:19:04,646 --> 00:19:07,982
But the thing is, I've been so
focused on the nuts and bolts
397
00:19:07,982 --> 00:19:09,609
of getting the jubilee going
398
00:19:09,609 --> 00:19:12,402
that I didn't even realize
the gift drive was in trouble.
399
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:15,197
Basically, we have next to
nothing in terms of donations.
400
00:19:15,197 --> 00:19:16,574
- Oh, no.
- Yeah.
401
00:19:16,574 --> 00:19:18,826
So, I got to find a way
to generate all the donations
402
00:19:18,826 --> 00:19:21,286
in the next couple of weeks,
or else there's going to be
403
00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:23,790
a lot of families missing out
on Christmas this year.
404
00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:26,125
So, maybe Regiftmas
is the answer.
405
00:19:26,125 --> 00:19:27,919
I hope so.
406
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:29,252
I feel your pain.
407
00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:32,297
It's really hard to pull off
these big events.
408
00:19:32,297 --> 00:19:35,510
And people have no idea
how much work goes into it.
409
00:19:35,510 --> 00:19:38,387
But in the end,
it's really fun being able
410
00:19:38,387 --> 00:19:40,515
to put all the pieces together,
isn't it?
411
00:19:40,515 --> 00:19:43,183
You know what? It is.
Hey. I like her.
412
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:45,937
Well, what's not to like?
413
00:19:54,737 --> 00:19:58,741
Yeah. I've been coming
to this tree lot for years now.
414
00:19:58,741 --> 00:20:01,035
- This is really fun.
- It is. Yeah.
415
00:20:01,035 --> 00:20:04,122
I don't normally get a tree
until a little later,
416
00:20:04,122 --> 00:20:05,540
but I don't know.
417
00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:07,625
Maybe I should get one
tonight, too.
418
00:20:07,625 --> 00:20:09,251
I mean, what's the point
419
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:11,504
in wasting time
coming back here, right?
420
00:20:11,504 --> 00:20:12,755
Hey. Efficiency.
421
00:20:12,755 --> 00:20:14,632
That's another point
in your favor.
422
00:20:17,677 --> 00:20:21,597
Hmm. Looks like your setup
is working out.
423
00:20:21,597 --> 00:20:23,265
Well, it's not a setup.
424
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:24,851
It's not even
a date, really.
425
00:20:24,851 --> 00:20:27,352
Oh, come on, Hope.
It's totally a date now.
426
00:20:27,352 --> 00:20:30,106
And first dates
are usually disasters.
427
00:20:30,106 --> 00:20:31,440
Remember ours?
428
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,025
You didn't even know
what the biscuit was.
429
00:20:33,025 --> 00:20:35,444
Yeah.
430
00:20:35,444 --> 00:20:38,656
Come on.
Hope, you don't remember?
431
00:20:38,656 --> 00:20:40,074
That's what we call the puck.
432
00:20:40,074 --> 00:20:43,077
Right.
The puck.
433
00:20:43,077 --> 00:20:45,079
To be fair,
it's been a while, Andy.
434
00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,791
Okay. Let's put that expert eye
of yours to work.
435
00:20:48,791 --> 00:20:50,209
You overestimate my gifts.
436
00:20:50,209 --> 00:20:53,838
Uh, not at all.
You are a tree-whisperer.
437
00:20:53,838 --> 00:20:55,214
All right.
438
00:21:02,597 --> 00:21:04,056
All right.
439
00:21:06,058 --> 00:21:10,270
Not too tall.
Not too small.
440
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:13,356
- Good branch distribution.
- Mm-hmm?
441
00:21:13,356 --> 00:21:15,985
And not dried out.
442
00:21:15,985 --> 00:21:17,444
This is the one.
443
00:21:18,821 --> 00:21:19,947
Awesome.
444
00:21:21,783 --> 00:21:23,743
And I left my wallet
in the truck.
445
00:21:23,743 --> 00:21:25,368
Oh.
As you always do.
446
00:21:25,368 --> 00:21:28,873
Well, everybody's got a skill.
I'm reliable.
447
00:21:32,126 --> 00:21:35,337
So, I've decided I'm going to
get my tree tonight.
448
00:21:35,337 --> 00:21:36,589
Oh, great.
449
00:21:36,589 --> 00:21:38,216
And I have decided
450
00:21:38,216 --> 00:21:39,592
that I'm going to get
some cookies
451
00:21:39,592 --> 00:21:41,384
for me and Brandon to split.
452
00:21:41,384 --> 00:21:43,012
But I was wondering,
453
00:21:43,012 --> 00:21:45,472
Hope, could I talk to you
about something?
454
00:21:45,472 --> 00:21:48,518
I have an idea about
pitching Regiftmas to the mayor.
455
00:21:49,602 --> 00:21:50,728
Sure.
456
00:21:50,728 --> 00:21:52,104
Okay.
457
00:22:01,989 --> 00:22:03,908
I think
if you explain it
458
00:22:03,908 --> 00:22:06,994
the same way you did to me,
he'll jump right on it.
459
00:22:06,994 --> 00:22:09,705
I don't know.
He's the mayor.
460
00:22:09,705 --> 00:22:12,708
Yeah, but at this point,
he'll jump on anything.
461
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:14,585
Oh, it's not just anything.
462
00:22:14,585 --> 00:22:18,881
I know, no, it's a...
it's an incredible idea.
463
00:22:18,881 --> 00:22:20,091
And that's why
I want to convince him
464
00:22:20,091 --> 00:22:21,551
to let me run with it.
465
00:22:23,761 --> 00:22:24,887
So, um...
466
00:22:26,013 --> 00:22:29,474
...are you having fun tonight?
467
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:33,896
Yeah. Actually, I am.
Yeah. You were right.
468
00:22:33,896 --> 00:22:36,816
It's nice to get out
and not think about work
469
00:22:36,816 --> 00:22:37,900
for a few hours.
470
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,442
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
471
00:22:39,442 --> 00:22:42,362
And, um...
472
00:22:42,362 --> 00:22:44,907
what do you think
of Allison?
473
00:22:46,868 --> 00:22:48,286
- Allison?
- Yeah.
474
00:22:48,286 --> 00:22:51,747
Wait. This-- This isn't a--
475
00:22:51,747 --> 00:22:53,791
Oh, come on.
476
00:22:53,791 --> 00:22:55,251
Really? Oh.
477
00:22:55,251 --> 00:22:57,169
I'm sorry.
478
00:22:57,169 --> 00:22:58,838
I should have asked.
479
00:22:58,838 --> 00:23:00,798
Are you dating anyone
in Arbor City?
480
00:23:00,798 --> 00:23:03,551
Oh, no, no.
It's nothing to do with that.
481
00:23:03,551 --> 00:23:07,763
Oh. Well,
are you open to dating anyone?
482
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:12,602
Honestly? Um...
483
00:23:13,853 --> 00:23:15,855
...I don't know.
484
00:23:17,857 --> 00:23:19,901
This is none of
my business.
485
00:23:19,901 --> 00:23:22,820
No, it's fine.
It's, uh--
486
00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:25,447
Even Brandon tells me
the same thing,
487
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:27,283
that I need to get out more,
488
00:23:27,283 --> 00:23:28,910
and I know he's right.
489
00:23:31,037 --> 00:23:34,040
It's been three years
since my wife Shelly passed,
490
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,377
and I just haven't seen anyone
at all.
491
00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:42,757
I can't believe
I'm telling you this. Uh...
492
00:23:42,757 --> 00:23:45,509
Oh, it's okay, Nate.
493
00:23:45,509 --> 00:23:47,386
When you're ready,
you're ready.
494
00:23:47,386 --> 00:23:49,429
You'll know.
495
00:23:54,977 --> 00:23:58,438
You know, I suppose
it wouldn't hurt to try.
496
00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:02,318
It doesn't have
to be serious.
497
00:24:05,404 --> 00:24:07,365
Hey, Nate?
498
00:24:07,365 --> 00:24:09,241
Would you come look at
this tree?
499
00:24:09,241 --> 00:24:11,202
I could use a second opinion.
500
00:24:12,745 --> 00:24:14,705
Yeah, yeah.
Of course.
501
00:24:14,705 --> 00:24:17,667
I don't have the expert eye
of Hope, but sure.
502
00:24:24,048 --> 00:24:26,050
So, I kind of had my eye
on this one.
503
00:24:26,050 --> 00:24:28,010
- Yeah?
- What do you think?
504
00:24:29,303 --> 00:24:30,721
- All right.
- Oh.
505
00:24:30,721 --> 00:24:32,932
- Ready to pay.
- Okay.
506
00:24:32,932 --> 00:24:36,644
Now, you're sure this tree
you picked me out is the one?
507
00:24:36,644 --> 00:24:39,313
Are you questioning
the tree-whisperer?
508
00:24:39,313 --> 00:24:40,690
Of course not.
509
00:24:40,690 --> 00:24:42,400
I would never.
510
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:45,778
I miss you.
511
00:24:45,778 --> 00:24:47,613
We should do something
after this.
512
00:24:47,613 --> 00:24:49,699
Oh. Um...
513
00:24:49,699 --> 00:24:52,368
Well, I'm kind of
tired, Andy.
514
00:24:52,368 --> 00:24:55,246
I have more grading to do.
I should probably just get home.
515
00:24:55,246 --> 00:24:56,831
No problem.
516
00:25:01,794 --> 00:25:04,880
They... make
a pretty good couple.
517
00:25:06,215 --> 00:25:08,217
- This is why asked you to come.
- Well, thank you.
518
00:25:08,217 --> 00:25:10,261
- Yeah.
- Uh, yeah.
519
00:25:11,262 --> 00:25:12,513
Yeah. They do.
520
00:25:22,106 --> 00:25:23,649
Okay,
521
00:25:23,649 --> 00:25:25,901
but that's around double
what you charged us last time.
522
00:25:25,901 --> 00:25:28,612
Yes, I know Santa suits
don't grow on trees,
523
00:25:28,612 --> 00:25:31,365
not even Christmas trees.
524
00:25:31,365 --> 00:25:32,533
Uh...
525
00:25:32,533 --> 00:25:33,701
You know what?
526
00:25:33,701 --> 00:25:35,244
There's a great place
in Arbor City
527
00:25:35,244 --> 00:25:36,912
that can send me one
for a much lower price, so--
528
00:25:39,415 --> 00:25:42,460
Okay. Yeah.
That works much better.
529
00:25:42,460 --> 00:25:44,170
Let's consider it a done deal
530
00:25:44,170 --> 00:25:46,506
and thank you
for serving our city.
531
00:25:48,591 --> 00:25:50,843
Wow. I'm happy I at least have
the line budget
532
00:25:50,843 --> 00:25:52,344
for last year's jubilee.
533
00:25:52,344 --> 00:25:54,096
Some of these vendors
are getting pretty tricky.
534
00:25:54,096 --> 00:25:56,640
Such a busy time
of year.
535
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,767
Well, I can imagine.
536
00:25:57,767 --> 00:25:58,851
Uh, have a seat.
537
00:25:58,851 --> 00:26:00,269
I've got so much
work to do
538
00:26:00,269 --> 00:26:01,562
they gave me
the conference room.
539
00:26:01,562 --> 00:26:05,107
Actually, my lunch hour
is really only 45 minutes,
540
00:26:05,107 --> 00:26:07,943
so I only have about
10 minutes to do this with you.
541
00:26:07,943 --> 00:26:11,280
Okay. Uh, well, let's go
see the mayor now, then.
542
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,406
Okay.
543
00:26:13,991 --> 00:26:17,328
I assure you
the Jingle Bell Jubilee
544
00:26:17,328 --> 00:26:20,164
will take place
as it has every year.
545
00:26:20,164 --> 00:26:23,501
We've got Nate Albertson,
our new city manager,
546
00:26:23,501 --> 00:26:25,169
working hard on it.
547
00:26:25,169 --> 00:26:28,881
And he's just here
for a meeting, so I have to go.
548
00:26:28,881 --> 00:26:30,257
Bye-bye.
549
00:26:31,675 --> 00:26:33,010
We may have a problem.
550
00:26:33,010 --> 00:26:34,303
What's that?
551
00:26:34,303 --> 00:26:37,431
That was a reporter
from the Larchmont Gazette.
552
00:26:37,431 --> 00:26:38,974
She's been hearing rumors
553
00:26:38,974 --> 00:26:41,685
that the Jingle Bell Jubilee
isn't going to happen.
554
00:26:41,685 --> 00:26:43,979
Well, we will just have to
prove her wrong, sir.
555
00:26:43,979 --> 00:26:46,315
That's just
what I like to hear.
556
00:26:47,567 --> 00:26:48,734
I'm sorry.
Who are you?
557
00:26:48,734 --> 00:26:50,611
Uh, Hope.
Hope Wilson.
558
00:26:50,611 --> 00:26:52,446
I teach at the high school.
559
00:26:52,446 --> 00:26:55,241
Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you.
560
00:26:55,241 --> 00:26:56,450
The children are our future,
you know.
561
00:26:56,450 --> 00:26:58,119
That's what I've heard.
562
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,329
Uh, we are here
on some urgent business, sir.
563
00:27:00,329 --> 00:27:02,498
Well, talk to me.
564
00:27:02,498 --> 00:27:05,334
Sir, seriously, you don't have
to worry about the jubilee.
565
00:27:05,334 --> 00:27:07,711
Everything's under control
except one thing.
566
00:27:07,711 --> 00:27:09,213
What's that?
567
00:27:09,213 --> 00:27:11,257
The Christmas charity
gift drive.
568
00:27:11,257 --> 00:27:13,425
But Hope here
has an amazing idea
569
00:27:13,425 --> 00:27:15,177
that I believe
will turn things around.
570
00:27:15,177 --> 00:27:17,221
Okay. Let's hear it.
571
00:27:17,221 --> 00:27:21,016
Well, it all started with
my grandmother's cedar chest.
572
00:27:21,016 --> 00:27:22,810
She found that Christmas
had become
573
00:27:22,810 --> 00:27:24,395
too much about shopping,
574
00:27:24,395 --> 00:27:26,355
and thought that we all have
lost the real meaning of it.
575
00:27:28,567 --> 00:27:30,067
That's what people love
about Regiftmas.
576
00:27:30,067 --> 00:27:32,027
It's the idea of gratitude.
577
00:27:32,027 --> 00:27:34,864
That because
they've been given so much,
578
00:27:34,864 --> 00:27:38,367
they're able to pay it forward
to people who really need it.
579
00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:40,244
It's just such
a huge win-win.
580
00:27:42,204 --> 00:27:45,249
And to think it all started with
your grandmother's cedar chest.
581
00:27:47,293 --> 00:27:49,044
It is an amazing idea.
582
00:27:49,044 --> 00:27:53,340
And people won't have to spend
all that time shopping.
583
00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:56,218
With our time frame,
that's a huge advantage.
584
00:27:56,218 --> 00:27:58,262
That's what
I was thinking, sir.
585
00:27:58,262 --> 00:28:00,097
Regiftmas it is.
586
00:28:00,097 --> 00:28:02,474
- Run with it.
- Okay.
587
00:28:02,474 --> 00:28:04,768
We'll have to promote this
with everything we have.
588
00:28:05,978 --> 00:28:09,773
I have to say,
you've impressed me, Hope.
589
00:28:09,773 --> 00:28:10,816
You have
a wonderful heart.
590
00:28:12,527 --> 00:28:14,820
Indeed she does, sir.
591
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:16,656
Well, you're lucky
to have her.
592
00:28:16,656 --> 00:28:19,992
- No.
- Oh, no. We're not, uh--
593
00:28:21,578 --> 00:28:25,372
Well, just keep me apprised
of your progress, Nate.
594
00:28:25,372 --> 00:28:26,707
Hope, it was nice
to meet you.
595
00:28:26,707 --> 00:28:28,627
Thank you, sir.
596
00:28:28,627 --> 00:28:30,753
And, uh, let's get you
back to the school.
597
00:28:30,753 --> 00:28:31,879
Okay.
598
00:28:34,757 --> 00:28:37,301
Regiftmas. Hmm.
599
00:28:37,301 --> 00:28:39,512
Well, I finally got
all the vendors lined up
600
00:28:39,512 --> 00:28:42,139
for the jubilee,
which is a minor miracle.
601
00:28:42,139 --> 00:28:44,016
So, everything seems to be
coming together.
602
00:28:44,016 --> 00:28:46,645
Well, thanks for letting
Regiftmas be a part of it.
603
00:28:46,645 --> 00:28:49,772
Oh, thank you for introducing it
to me in the first place.
604
00:28:49,772 --> 00:28:51,232
You really were great
in there.
605
00:28:51,232 --> 00:28:52,483
I was?
606
00:28:52,483 --> 00:28:55,361
Yeah. You didn't only explain it
to the mayor;
607
00:28:55,361 --> 00:28:57,780
you made him feel
what it's all about,
608
00:28:57,780 --> 00:28:59,532
and not everyone
can do that.
609
00:28:59,532 --> 00:29:01,576
It's just 'cause I know
what Regiftmas is.
610
00:29:01,576 --> 00:29:03,869
I think there's more to it
than that.
611
00:29:05,913 --> 00:29:08,874
So, how are we going to get
the message out about Regiftmas?
612
00:29:08,874 --> 00:29:11,877
I mean, we have to communicate
a whole new idea to people,
613
00:29:11,877 --> 00:29:13,379
and we have, like, no time.
614
00:29:13,379 --> 00:29:15,923
Well, that's mission one
this afternoon.
615
00:29:15,923 --> 00:29:17,258
Awareness campaign.
616
00:29:17,258 --> 00:29:19,552
- Awareness campaign?
- Mm-hmm.
617
00:29:19,552 --> 00:29:22,096
Yeah. Double up the signage
around town.
618
00:29:22,096 --> 00:29:24,890
Double up social media.
Talk to the community leaders.
619
00:29:24,890 --> 00:29:26,685
Sounds like a lot of work.
620
00:29:26,685 --> 00:29:30,437
I wish I could stay and help,
but fifth period is calling.
621
00:29:30,437 --> 00:29:32,189
Well, if you're around
tonight,
622
00:29:32,189 --> 00:29:34,734
maybe I could come by, and we
could talk about the campaign.
623
00:29:34,734 --> 00:29:37,027
Your input
would be valuable.
624
00:29:37,027 --> 00:29:39,029
Uh, sure.
625
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:40,823
Oh, Allison will be there.
626
00:29:40,823 --> 00:29:42,032
She's coming over
to help me finish
627
00:29:42,032 --> 00:29:43,409
decorating my Christmas tree.
628
00:29:43,409 --> 00:29:45,786
But she's really good
at community relations stuff.
629
00:29:45,786 --> 00:29:47,871
Great.
It'll be nice to see her again.
630
00:29:47,871 --> 00:29:49,206
Hmm.
631
00:29:56,756 --> 00:29:59,466
Okay, so here's
my slogan for Regiftmas.
632
00:29:59,466 --> 00:30:02,177
"Give again,
and enjoy Christmas again."
633
00:30:04,681 --> 00:30:07,767
Oh, wow,
you even made charts.
634
00:30:07,767 --> 00:30:08,768
Mm-hm.
635
00:30:08,768 --> 00:30:10,645
Uh, what does
this all mean?
636
00:30:10,645 --> 00:30:13,105
Well, this shows where we're
placing the signs and the ads
637
00:30:13,105 --> 00:30:15,692
and the number of people
we could potentially reach.
638
00:30:15,692 --> 00:30:17,985
This, with our internet ads,
639
00:30:17,985 --> 00:30:20,487
we will be able to
reach a lot of people.
640
00:30:20,487 --> 00:30:22,031
You certainly
know your stuff.
641
00:30:22,031 --> 00:30:23,449
But is it going
to reach people?
642
00:30:23,449 --> 00:30:24,701
Oh, absolutely.
643
00:30:24,701 --> 00:30:26,619
I used to build
campaigns just like this one
644
00:30:26,619 --> 00:30:29,455
when I worked in Arbor City,
and they were very effective.
645
00:30:32,166 --> 00:30:33,334
All right, what's wrong?
646
00:30:35,252 --> 00:30:38,631
When I said "reach people"
I meant is it gonna touch them,
647
00:30:38,631 --> 00:30:41,342
so they feel
motivated to give?
648
00:30:41,342 --> 00:30:43,762
Regiftmas is
kind of a new concept.
649
00:30:43,762 --> 00:30:46,806
I just don't think a simple ad
is going to do the trick.
650
00:30:46,806 --> 00:30:50,518
But, hey, you know what
you're doing, and I don't, so.
651
00:30:50,518 --> 00:30:52,978
Just tell me
what you're thinking,
652
00:30:52,978 --> 00:30:55,774
because if I'm missing something
I want to know.
653
00:30:55,774 --> 00:30:58,400
Okay, well, take our
high school for instance.
654
00:30:58,400 --> 00:30:59,860
Mm-hm.
655
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:02,029
People really connected
with the Regiftmas idea
656
00:31:02,029 --> 00:31:04,490
and ran with it, but that's
because they understood
657
00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:07,201
what it meant to
the families that it helped,
658
00:31:07,201 --> 00:31:10,287
and how that--
how that felt.
659
00:31:10,287 --> 00:31:12,122
If that makes any sense.
660
00:31:12,122 --> 00:31:15,627
Nate, the thing that gets
people excited about Regiftmas
661
00:31:15,627 --> 00:31:17,086
is the way Hope
explains it.
662
00:31:17,086 --> 00:31:18,755
Oh, it doesn't have
to be me.
663
00:31:18,755 --> 00:31:21,633
Just someone to put some...
664
00:31:21,633 --> 00:31:23,843
some heart into it.
665
00:31:23,843 --> 00:31:26,805
But that is you.
666
00:31:26,805 --> 00:31:29,348
The way you talk about it,
it's like...
667
00:31:29,348 --> 00:31:31,810
I don't know.
You're just so full of love.
668
00:31:31,810 --> 00:31:34,103
Like something's
lighting you up from within.
669
00:31:34,103 --> 00:31:36,188
Okay, that's a little much.
670
00:31:36,188 --> 00:31:39,024
No, I'm serious.
671
00:31:39,024 --> 00:31:41,778
When you lead with your heart,
it's really powerful.
672
00:31:41,778 --> 00:31:43,112
You move people.
673
00:31:44,614 --> 00:31:46,490
Okay, okay,
I get it,
674
00:31:46,490 --> 00:31:48,992
but it's not like we can ask
Hope to go door-to-door
675
00:31:48,992 --> 00:31:52,037
just telling people about her
grandma's cedar chest, right?
676
00:31:52,037 --> 00:31:53,748
No, obviously not,
677
00:31:53,748 --> 00:31:58,628
but we still need to get them
to feel what this is all about.
678
00:31:58,628 --> 00:32:01,756
Why it's so in
the spirit of Christmas.
679
00:32:01,756 --> 00:32:05,802
She makes a good point, Nate.
Not that you don't.
680
00:32:05,802 --> 00:32:10,723
If we deliver the right message
people will get it.
681
00:32:10,723 --> 00:32:13,350
The most important thing is
just getting the message out
682
00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:15,185
to as many people
as possible.
683
00:32:15,185 --> 00:32:17,980
Of course,
you're the professional, so.
684
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:19,440
Very professional.
685
00:32:21,568 --> 00:32:24,069
Ah, well,
it's getting pretty late.
686
00:32:24,069 --> 00:32:25,362
Yeah.
687
00:32:25,362 --> 00:32:27,322
I've got more work to do
and I gotta make sure
688
00:32:27,322 --> 00:32:28,700
Brandon gets
his homework done.
689
00:32:28,700 --> 00:32:30,951
Oh, I wouldn't worry about him.
He's a really good kid.
690
00:32:30,951 --> 00:32:33,454
He said that you were
a really great teacher, too.
691
00:32:33,454 --> 00:32:36,791
Oh, that's really
kind of him.
692
00:32:36,791 --> 00:32:39,084
But, yeah,
we should wrap this up,
693
00:32:39,084 --> 00:32:41,336
because I have
more grading to do,
694
00:32:41,336 --> 00:32:44,089
and Christmas break is
only a couple days away.
695
00:32:44,089 --> 00:32:45,550
All right.
696
00:32:45,550 --> 00:32:49,261
Hey, do you want to go see
the ice sculptures in the park?
697
00:32:49,261 --> 00:32:51,972
They do them every year,
and they're gorgeous.
698
00:32:51,972 --> 00:32:54,642
Uh, sure,
if we can be pretty quick.
699
00:32:54,642 --> 00:32:56,728
Sure. Wonderful.
700
00:32:56,728 --> 00:32:57,770
Have fun, you two.
701
00:32:57,770 --> 00:32:59,188
Bye.
702
00:32:59,188 --> 00:33:00,314
Yes, Ms. Wilson.
703
00:33:04,777 --> 00:33:06,654
So, you at least have,
like, 20 minutes, right?
704
00:33:06,654 --> 00:33:09,406
Well, that depends if
there's a hot chocolate bar.
705
00:33:09,406 --> 00:33:11,701
There definitely will be.
706
00:33:11,701 --> 00:33:13,160
Ooh.
707
00:33:31,053 --> 00:33:32,805
Very impressed, Nate.
708
00:33:32,805 --> 00:33:35,808
You have done a lot,
quickly and well.
709
00:33:35,808 --> 00:33:36,976
Sir?
710
00:33:36,976 --> 00:33:39,186
I've seen online ads
all over the place.
711
00:33:39,186 --> 00:33:41,731
Oh, and the wife and I
went out last night.
712
00:33:41,731 --> 00:33:44,901
Guess what? Lo and behold,
in the restaurant window
713
00:33:44,901 --> 00:33:46,986
was a Regiftmas sign.
714
00:33:46,986 --> 00:33:50,823
I bet those donations
are just pouring in.
715
00:33:50,823 --> 00:33:54,368
Well, it always takes a little
while to get these things going.
716
00:33:54,368 --> 00:33:57,079
So, they're not
pouring in?
717
00:33:57,079 --> 00:34:00,249
Oh, it's still
very early.
718
00:34:00,249 --> 00:34:02,627
Not according to the calendar,
there are only 10 days left.
719
00:34:04,461 --> 00:34:06,756
No worries.
I got it covered.
720
00:34:06,756 --> 00:34:09,174
Good.
Counting on ya, Nate.
721
00:34:21,938 --> 00:34:24,481
Thanks for helping me
with those donation boxes.
722
00:34:24,481 --> 00:34:26,609
Yeah, no sweat. Happy to help.
723
00:34:26,609 --> 00:34:28,861
So, is my dad in here?
724
00:34:28,861 --> 00:34:32,364
Oh, well, remember,
he moved away after junior year.
725
00:34:32,364 --> 00:34:33,866
Yearbook pictures are
mostly from senior year.
726
00:34:36,744 --> 00:34:39,038
Nope.
No, there he is.
727
00:34:40,582 --> 00:34:41,708
Let me see.
728
00:34:43,585 --> 00:34:45,085
Oh, yeah, that is him.
729
00:34:45,085 --> 00:34:49,674
That's probably from homecoming,
the year before.
730
00:34:49,674 --> 00:34:52,426
There's me,
right behind him.
731
00:34:52,426 --> 00:34:54,177
What a weird haircut.
732
00:34:54,177 --> 00:34:55,722
Him or me?
733
00:34:55,722 --> 00:34:57,347
Um... Definitely him.
734
00:34:59,517 --> 00:35:00,852
Oh!
735
00:35:08,901 --> 00:35:10,028
- Hey!
- Hey.
736
00:35:10,028 --> 00:35:13,031
Whoa, is that
one of our old yearbooks?
737
00:35:13,031 --> 00:35:16,450
Yeah, Dad, out of all
the weird haircuts in here,
738
00:35:16,450 --> 00:35:18,118
I'm going to say
you're the clear champion.
739
00:35:18,118 --> 00:35:19,871
Oh, wait.
I'm actually in there?
740
00:35:19,871 --> 00:35:21,288
I'd call it more of a cameo.
741
00:35:21,288 --> 00:35:24,124
Oh, wow. Nice.
742
00:35:27,503 --> 00:35:28,796
So, you kidnapped my son.
743
00:35:28,796 --> 00:35:30,757
He volunteered to
help me bring some boxes
744
00:35:30,757 --> 00:35:32,299
of regifts
home for wrapping,
745
00:35:32,299 --> 00:35:35,344
and then he found
our yearbook on my shelf.
746
00:35:35,344 --> 00:35:36,512
Oh, and here we are.
747
00:35:37,972 --> 00:35:40,140
You could have called.
I would have brought him home.
748
00:35:40,140 --> 00:35:42,309
I know how busy you are.
749
00:35:42,309 --> 00:35:43,895
Oh, no, I needed the break.
I've been sampling food
750
00:35:43,895 --> 00:35:46,188
for the Jubilee.
Too much funnel cake.
751
00:35:46,188 --> 00:35:47,481
No such thing as
too much funnel cake.
752
00:35:47,481 --> 00:35:50,610
See before today,
I would have agreed.
753
00:35:52,028 --> 00:35:53,403
Um, actually,
there's something else
754
00:35:53,403 --> 00:35:56,281
- I wanted to talk to you about.
- Yeah, what is it?
755
00:35:56,281 --> 00:35:57,784
Well, we've been
running our Regiftmas ads
756
00:35:57,784 --> 00:36:00,953
for the last two days,
posted up all the extra signs
757
00:36:00,953 --> 00:36:02,538
- around town.
- And?
758
00:36:02,538 --> 00:36:05,958
But hardly anything's coming in.
Barely even a trickle.
759
00:36:05,958 --> 00:36:09,671
Well, Dad,
that doesn't sound good.
760
00:36:09,671 --> 00:36:11,756
Well, maybe we just
need to leave them up
761
00:36:11,756 --> 00:36:13,758
for a couple more days.
762
00:36:13,758 --> 00:36:16,886
Unfortunately, I don't have
another couple of days though.
763
00:36:16,886 --> 00:36:18,513
We're running out of time.
764
00:36:20,389 --> 00:36:22,058
I think you
and Allison were right.
765
00:36:22,058 --> 00:36:24,476
Right about what?
766
00:36:24,476 --> 00:36:26,020
I need you.
767
00:36:27,479 --> 00:36:29,691
I need you to
tell people your story.
768
00:36:29,691 --> 00:36:32,026
It's true.
769
00:36:32,026 --> 00:36:34,070
I've seen you talk about it
a couple times at school,
770
00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:36,363
and you know
exactly what to say.
771
00:36:36,363 --> 00:36:38,991
But I thought
we all agreed
772
00:36:38,991 --> 00:36:41,869
that there's no practical
way to do that.
773
00:36:41,869 --> 00:36:44,496
Actually, there is.
774
00:36:44,496 --> 00:36:45,957
What are you doing
tomorrow?
775
00:37:45,641 --> 00:37:47,685
I can't believe we're
going to be on the news.
776
00:37:47,685 --> 00:37:49,812
This way you'll be
able to explain Regiftmas
777
00:37:49,812 --> 00:37:51,063
in your own way.
778
00:37:51,063 --> 00:37:52,648
Well, it sure beats
having to go door-to-door.
779
00:37:52,648 --> 00:37:54,233
I think you'd lose your voice
780
00:37:54,233 --> 00:37:56,485
by the time you
finished the first block.
781
00:37:56,485 --> 00:37:58,988
I think
this is going to work.
782
00:37:58,988 --> 00:38:00,865
Allison is right,
you're the secret.
783
00:38:00,865 --> 00:38:01,908
The secret?
784
00:38:01,908 --> 00:38:03,618
The secret to Regiftmas.
785
00:38:03,618 --> 00:38:06,453
If people hear you
explain what it's all about,
786
00:38:06,453 --> 00:38:08,164
that will
motivate them to donate.
787
00:38:08,164 --> 00:38:10,541
Well, I will give it my all,
trust me.
788
00:38:10,541 --> 00:38:11,626
You always do.
789
00:38:13,836 --> 00:38:15,797
I think this is going
to turn things around.
790
00:38:15,797 --> 00:38:17,882
Oh, and I wrote up
a bit of a script.
791
00:38:17,882 --> 00:38:19,424
I know
it's last minute, but...
792
00:38:19,424 --> 00:38:21,177
- Oh. Oh.
- He's just micing you up.
793
00:38:21,177 --> 00:38:25,014
Sorry. I've never done
anything like this before.
794
00:38:25,014 --> 00:38:27,474
Oh, wow, this is
a lot to memorize.
795
00:38:27,474 --> 00:38:28,768
Oh, I know. Sorry.
796
00:38:28,768 --> 00:38:30,310
I wrote it last minute,
797
00:38:30,310 --> 00:38:33,396
but it doesn't need
to be word-for-word.
798
00:38:33,396 --> 00:38:37,610
"Regiftmas is
just like Christmas,
799
00:38:37,610 --> 00:38:40,655
only with regifting."
800
00:38:40,655 --> 00:38:42,782
Yeah, um, I don't know...
801
00:38:42,782 --> 00:38:45,660
Again, this isn't
the kind of language
802
00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:47,620
I would use
to explain it.
803
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:49,371
I know, but this is
going on TV,
804
00:38:49,371 --> 00:38:51,207
so it's gotta be
polished and professional.
805
00:38:51,207 --> 00:38:54,417
Of course, and I so appreciate
your doing this, it--
806
00:38:54,417 --> 00:38:56,629
it doesn't sound like me.
Maybe I--
807
00:38:56,629 --> 00:38:59,048
It's a clear
and direct message.
808
00:39:00,925 --> 00:39:03,970
Trust me, I've done it before.
You'll be great.
809
00:39:03,970 --> 00:39:05,470
Okay.
810
00:39:05,470 --> 00:39:08,015
Well, hello, everybody.
811
00:39:08,015 --> 00:39:10,560
Oh, uh, sir,
I didn't know you were coming.
812
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,186
Well, I couldn't help myself.
813
00:39:12,186 --> 00:39:16,315
I'm so excited about this idea,
I thought that I'd come watch.
814
00:39:16,315 --> 00:39:19,735
Oh, is that a script?
May I?
815
00:39:24,364 --> 00:39:26,909
Hm.
Uh-huh.
816
00:39:26,909 --> 00:39:29,494
Uh-huh.
817
00:39:29,494 --> 00:39:31,998
Is everything all right?
818
00:39:31,998 --> 00:39:35,543
Well, uh,
it reads like a...
819
00:39:35,543 --> 00:39:36,711
a commercial.
820
00:39:38,212 --> 00:39:41,716
Well, it is in a sense,
so that's a good thing, right?
821
00:39:41,716 --> 00:39:44,426
Nate, uh,
you're a great communicator,
822
00:39:44,426 --> 00:39:47,638
but, uh, this is
a different kind of marketing.
823
00:39:47,638 --> 00:39:51,684
You need to explain it
like you explained it to me.
824
00:39:51,684 --> 00:39:54,604
It doesn't matter if
the wording is imperfect.
825
00:39:54,604 --> 00:39:59,525
It's better if it's, uh,
uh, what's the word? Um...
826
00:39:59,525 --> 00:40:01,360
Unprofessional.
827
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,653
Exactly!
828
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:07,116
Are you ready?
829
00:40:07,116 --> 00:40:09,160
Definitely. I've been
telling the story a lot.
830
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,163
I just need to stay focused.
831
00:40:12,163 --> 00:40:13,623
That's why I thought
a script might be good,
832
00:40:13,623 --> 00:40:15,415
but maybe
we could rehearse?
833
00:40:15,415 --> 00:40:16,918
No, no, no.
Let's just do it.
834
00:40:16,918 --> 00:40:19,003
The less time I have to
think about it, the better.
835
00:40:19,003 --> 00:40:21,213
Okay.
Let's get rolling, everyone.
836
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,216
Just smile at the camera.
837
00:40:24,216 --> 00:40:26,177
And here we go.
838
00:40:28,137 --> 00:40:30,056
Hello, everyone,
in Larchmont Falls.
839
00:40:30,056 --> 00:40:32,391
We've got some exciting
news about this year's
840
00:40:32,391 --> 00:40:33,559
Jingle Bell Jubilee.
841
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:35,728
I'm Nate Albertson,
the new city manager,
842
00:40:35,728 --> 00:40:38,272
and over here is Hope Wilson,
an English teacher
843
00:40:38,272 --> 00:40:40,024
over at Larchmont High.
844
00:40:40,024 --> 00:40:43,069
Hello, and don't worry,
I won't be grading anyone today.
845
00:40:43,069 --> 00:40:47,865
We would like
to tell you all about Regiftmas.
846
00:40:47,865 --> 00:40:50,034
It has a very
special meaning to me,
847
00:40:50,034 --> 00:40:52,578
and I'd like to
tell you all why.
848
00:40:52,578 --> 00:40:55,373
My grandmother found
that Christmas had become
849
00:40:55,373 --> 00:40:57,083
too much about shopping,
850
00:40:57,083 --> 00:41:00,378
and worried that we had all lost
the real meaning of Christmas.
851
00:41:00,378 --> 00:41:02,171
So, she decided to do
something about it.
852
00:41:02,171 --> 00:41:03,798
First, she led by example,
853
00:41:03,798 --> 00:41:05,091
then all her
neighbors joined in.
854
00:41:05,091 --> 00:41:06,842
And when my grandmother
brought over the presents
855
00:41:06,842 --> 00:41:10,262
on Christmas Eve,
the families were so grateful.
856
00:41:10,262 --> 00:41:12,223
They couldn't believe
that someone cared enough
857
00:41:12,223 --> 00:41:15,559
to make sure that they had
a real merry Christmas.
858
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:18,478
I just-- I loved the tradition
so much that I started doing it
859
00:41:18,478 --> 00:41:21,607
in my own classroom,
uh, with my grandmother's
860
00:41:21,607 --> 00:41:23,693
very own cedar chest.
861
00:41:23,693 --> 00:41:26,779
My students bring their presents
a month before Christmas,
862
00:41:26,779 --> 00:41:29,156
and then we donate them all
to the Jingle Bell Jubilee
863
00:41:29,156 --> 00:41:30,574
charity drive.
864
00:41:30,574 --> 00:41:33,661
So, we're asking you
to do the same thing.
865
00:41:33,661 --> 00:41:36,330
I want to be honest, we
desperately need donations
866
00:41:36,330 --> 00:41:37,707
this year, otherwise--
867
00:41:37,707 --> 00:41:41,377
Though I have faith that
there won't be an otherwise.
868
00:41:41,377 --> 00:41:44,588
Yeah, I have faith that
everyone watching right now
869
00:41:44,588 --> 00:41:47,008
has that special present
just waiting to be
870
00:41:47,008 --> 00:41:48,718
regifted to
the right person.
871
00:41:48,718 --> 00:41:52,346
This is an opportunity
to show our gratitude
872
00:41:52,346 --> 00:41:53,848
for everything
that we've been given,
873
00:41:53,848 --> 00:41:56,475
and pay it forward to
people who really need it.
874
00:41:57,935 --> 00:42:00,187
So, please,
open your hearts and donate.
875
00:42:00,187 --> 00:42:03,107
Please bring your
regifts down to City Hall,
876
00:42:03,107 --> 00:42:06,068
where we already have a special
kiosk set up for Regiftmas.
877
00:42:06,068 --> 00:42:08,112
And, by participating,
you'll show these families
878
00:42:08,112 --> 00:42:09,864
that they are loved.
879
00:42:09,864 --> 00:42:12,658
'Cause after all, isn't that
what Christmas is all about?
880
00:42:12,658 --> 00:42:15,995
Just spreading the love
from one heart to another?
881
00:42:15,995 --> 00:42:18,873
And letting the love
in from a higher place.
882
00:42:18,873 --> 00:42:22,334
A love that warms
and lights up the world.
883
00:42:22,334 --> 00:42:25,880
Merry Christmas, everyone,
and please remember
884
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,841
to bring your donation down
to the regift kiosk
885
00:42:28,841 --> 00:42:31,260
inside the City Hall ballroom
by December 20th.
886
00:42:31,260 --> 00:42:34,221
And please give.
887
00:42:38,184 --> 00:42:39,477
Good job.
888
00:42:43,314 --> 00:42:47,485
Great work, really.
Hey, thanks, everyone.
889
00:42:47,485 --> 00:42:50,154
Many thanks to you
and to Hope.
890
00:42:50,154 --> 00:42:54,116
You knocked it out of the park
and you spoke from the heart,
891
00:42:54,116 --> 00:42:55,409
which makes
all the difference.
892
00:42:55,409 --> 00:42:56,952
Thank you, sir.
893
00:42:56,952 --> 00:42:58,829
I'm so happy to have
the opportunity to do this.
894
00:42:58,829 --> 00:43:00,664
Well, I'm glad you did it.
895
00:43:00,664 --> 00:43:02,083
See you back
at the office, Nate,
896
00:43:02,083 --> 00:43:03,876
and great job as always.
897
00:43:03,876 --> 00:43:04,960
Thank you, sir.
898
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,045
Bye-bye.
899
00:43:08,255 --> 00:43:11,008
You know what? I think
we make a pretty good team.
900
00:43:11,008 --> 00:43:12,468
Uh...
901
00:43:12,468 --> 00:43:13,594
We do.
902
00:43:17,098 --> 00:43:20,267
Uh, I'm going to go
help with the pack up.
903
00:43:54,426 --> 00:43:56,387
- Hey.
- Hey.
904
00:43:56,387 --> 00:43:59,140
I guess a few people
saw us on the news.
905
00:43:59,140 --> 00:44:00,808
I just came down to see
if anyone would show up,
906
00:44:00,808 --> 00:44:04,728
but I can't believe this.
How is this even possible?
907
00:44:04,728 --> 00:44:07,398
Well, because we didn't
use my script.
908
00:44:07,398 --> 00:44:09,900
Oh, no.
Nate, don't do that.
909
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:11,777
There was nothing
wrong with your script.
910
00:44:11,777 --> 00:44:13,737
I disagree.
You were right.
911
00:44:14,989 --> 00:44:17,825
And there was one
big thing wrong with it.
912
00:44:17,825 --> 00:44:20,077
It didn't have heart.
913
00:44:20,077 --> 00:44:22,746
And that's just something
I couldn't get down on paper.
914
00:44:22,746 --> 00:44:24,665
Well, you have it in there.
915
00:44:24,665 --> 00:44:26,585
I know you do.
916
00:44:28,377 --> 00:44:31,631
Well, speaking of
having a heart,
917
00:44:31,631 --> 00:44:34,049
do you think you could
apologize to Allison for me?
918
00:44:34,049 --> 00:44:35,510
What for?
919
00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:37,887
Well, I feel like I didn't
really connect with her,
920
00:44:37,887 --> 00:44:39,763
and I don't want her
to think that I was
921
00:44:39,763 --> 00:44:42,099
avoiding her or something.
I just didn't have the time.
922
00:44:42,099 --> 00:44:45,769
Well... you've
been a little busy.
923
00:44:45,769 --> 00:44:47,564
Oh, yeah,
with the Jingle Bell Jubilee
924
00:44:47,564 --> 00:44:50,441
less than a week away,
and then doing all this,
925
00:44:50,441 --> 00:44:52,026
you can tell that
my hands are full.
926
00:44:54,361 --> 00:44:57,114
Is that what
I think it is? Oh!
927
00:45:00,117 --> 00:45:02,786
The Mr. and Mrs. Santa
photo board!
928
00:45:02,786 --> 00:45:05,956
Yeah, I found it in storage.
929
00:45:05,956 --> 00:45:09,168
Honestly, I don't know why
we ever stopped using it.
930
00:45:09,168 --> 00:45:11,504
My family used to
love that when I was a kid.
931
00:45:11,504 --> 00:45:13,130
We have all these
photos lined up
932
00:45:13,130 --> 00:45:15,090
of us poking
our heads through.
933
00:45:15,090 --> 00:45:17,510
Yeah, so did we,
except Dad always managed
934
00:45:17,510 --> 00:45:19,887
to have his eyes closed in,
like, every photo.
935
00:45:19,887 --> 00:45:22,806
Oh, yeah.
936
00:45:22,806 --> 00:45:24,141
Well, should we do it?
937
00:45:24,141 --> 00:45:27,770
Oh, well,
there's no one to work it.
938
00:45:27,770 --> 00:45:29,396
Oh, we don't need that.
939
00:45:29,396 --> 00:45:31,065
We updated the tech,
so now people
940
00:45:31,065 --> 00:45:32,942
can take
the photos themselves.
941
00:45:34,193 --> 00:45:36,237
Yes, please.
942
00:45:36,237 --> 00:45:38,155
I'm assuming you
know how it works?
943
00:45:39,448 --> 00:45:44,119
Uh, well, I'm not sure
if I remember...
944
00:45:48,708 --> 00:45:51,168
Step right up, lovely lady,
945
00:45:51,168 --> 00:45:53,087
and celebrate
the Christmas spirit
946
00:45:53,087 --> 00:45:55,839
with a magical
Yuletide photo.
947
00:45:57,550 --> 00:46:00,886
All you need is
a handsome gentleman
948
00:46:00,886 --> 00:46:02,179
to be in the photo
with you.
949
00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:08,728
Oh, goodness,
but wherever shall I find
950
00:46:08,728 --> 00:46:10,479
this handsome gentleman?
951
00:46:15,067 --> 00:46:17,361
Well, confidentially, now,
952
00:46:17,361 --> 00:46:20,155
I'm not supposed
to be doing this,
953
00:46:20,155 --> 00:46:22,950
but I might be
willing to help you.
954
00:46:22,950 --> 00:46:25,662
Oh, well, that's nice.
955
00:46:25,662 --> 00:46:27,454
But are you
handsome enough?
956
00:46:27,454 --> 00:46:30,332
Mm...
957
00:46:30,332 --> 00:46:32,876
I suppose you'll do.
958
00:46:32,876 --> 00:46:36,506
She's in.
Let me take your coat.
959
00:46:39,551 --> 00:46:41,594
Thank you.
960
00:46:45,389 --> 00:46:46,932
Okay, I'm ready
for my close-up!
961
00:46:46,932 --> 00:46:48,768
Hurry up,
this offer doesn't last long!
962
00:46:53,314 --> 00:46:55,567
Okay, how does my hair look?
963
00:46:55,567 --> 00:46:57,569
Don't look at me,
look at the camera.
964
00:47:09,163 --> 00:47:10,414
What was that?
965
00:47:10,414 --> 00:47:12,166
That means
our photo's ready.
966
00:47:19,006 --> 00:47:22,510
Oh, wow. Like father like
daughter with the eyes closed.
967
00:47:22,510 --> 00:47:24,345
It's a good look.
968
00:47:26,180 --> 00:47:29,016
You know, uh,
you really managed to bring back
969
00:47:29,016 --> 00:47:31,268
the spirit of the Jubilee.
970
00:47:31,268 --> 00:47:32,604
Well, thank you.
971
00:47:32,604 --> 00:47:35,105
It's honestly been
really nice to rebuild it,
972
00:47:35,105 --> 00:47:37,900
make it special, the same way
it was for me when I was a kid,
973
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:40,612
and now for everyone
in town.
974
00:47:40,612 --> 00:47:42,154
And you.
975
00:47:44,281 --> 00:47:46,075
Oh, there you are!
976
00:47:46,075 --> 00:47:48,787
Nate, oh, you two
really did it.
977
00:47:48,787 --> 00:47:50,954
Our Regiftmas chest
runneth over.
978
00:47:53,583 --> 00:47:56,043
That's the Mr. and Mrs. Clause
photo board.
979
00:47:56,043 --> 00:47:57,336
That was my favorite.
980
00:47:57,336 --> 00:48:00,005
Hey, ours too!
981
00:48:00,005 --> 00:48:03,384
Whoa, you two need
a retake.
982
00:48:03,384 --> 00:48:06,470
Oh, we'll get
right on that, sir.
983
00:48:16,021 --> 00:48:18,315
This is great. Yeah.
984
00:48:18,315 --> 00:48:21,528
Yeah, well,
I'm glad we did a retake.
985
00:48:21,528 --> 00:48:24,321
Yeah, this is cool.
986
00:48:24,321 --> 00:48:26,448
But I'm sorry, no matter
how well we fit these roles,
987
00:48:26,448 --> 00:48:28,951
I am not moving to
the North Pole with you.
988
00:48:28,951 --> 00:48:32,037
Hey, I'm just impressed I got
you out of the office for lunch.
989
00:48:32,037 --> 00:48:35,667
Oh, yeah, I have definitely been
living off of energy bars
990
00:48:35,667 --> 00:48:38,919
lately, so not the healthiest
time, but this is on me.
991
00:48:38,919 --> 00:48:40,921
My way of saying
thanks again for everything.
992
00:48:40,921 --> 00:48:43,758
Thank you.
993
00:48:43,758 --> 00:48:45,593
Hey, how's Brandon doing?
994
00:48:45,593 --> 00:48:47,637
Is he enjoying
Christmas break?
995
00:48:47,637 --> 00:48:49,848
Oh, yeah, he's made
a bunch of new friends already
996
00:48:49,848 --> 00:48:51,974
he's hanging out with.
997
00:48:51,974 --> 00:48:55,310
I'm surprised at
how well he's adjusted.
998
00:48:55,310 --> 00:48:58,397
It's tough switching towns
during high school, you know?
999
00:48:58,397 --> 00:49:01,108
Yeah, well,
he's a great kid,
1000
00:49:01,108 --> 00:49:04,027
which means that
you must be a great dad.
1001
00:49:04,027 --> 00:49:05,864
Oh, I do what I can.
1002
00:49:05,864 --> 00:49:07,448
It's a lot easier now
that he's older.
1003
00:49:07,448 --> 00:49:10,325
I'm, uh, I'm not
hanging on for dear life.
1004
00:49:10,325 --> 00:49:11,452
Yeah.
1005
00:49:11,452 --> 00:49:12,453
Yeah.
1006
00:49:12,453 --> 00:49:13,454
Oh.
1007
00:49:15,790 --> 00:49:17,374
Oh, this is my assistant.
Can I take--
1008
00:49:17,374 --> 00:49:19,460
- Yeah. Of course.
- Thanks.
1009
00:49:19,460 --> 00:49:20,502
Yeah, AJ?
1010
00:49:23,506 --> 00:49:24,965
Oh, no. Um...
1011
00:49:24,965 --> 00:49:29,178
I don't know why
I didn't think about that.
1012
00:49:29,178 --> 00:49:31,138
Yeah, you know what?
Yeah.
1013
00:49:31,138 --> 00:49:33,600
Okay, okay.
Uh, let me figure that out.
1014
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,809
Okay, thanks.
1015
00:49:36,351 --> 00:49:37,520
Is everything okay?
1016
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,565
Uh, yes,
1017
00:49:40,565 --> 00:49:43,693
but the plan was
to wrap the donations
1018
00:49:43,693 --> 00:49:46,403
after we inspected them,
make them look like gifts.
1019
00:49:46,403 --> 00:49:48,698
Of course,
it's Christmas.
1020
00:49:48,698 --> 00:49:51,743
Um, yeah, but we never
imagined we would receive
1021
00:49:51,743 --> 00:49:53,494
so many donations so quickly.
1022
00:49:53,494 --> 00:49:57,456
So, now my staff can't possibly
wrap them all in time.
1023
00:49:57,456 --> 00:50:01,210
Uh, yeah, I don't know why
I didn't think that through.
1024
00:50:01,210 --> 00:50:03,505
Well, how could you
possibly have known?
1025
00:50:03,505 --> 00:50:05,715
Besides, this is
a good problem to have.
1026
00:50:05,715 --> 00:50:08,217
I-- Yeah, that's true.
1027
00:50:08,217 --> 00:50:11,136
What about a wrap party?
1028
00:50:11,136 --> 00:50:13,765
A wrap party?
1029
00:50:13,765 --> 00:50:15,390
Yeah, a gift wrap party.
1030
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:17,852
Okay, my mom used to
hold one for all the parents
1031
00:50:17,852 --> 00:50:20,688
in the neighborhood,
and they would all come over
1032
00:50:20,688 --> 00:50:24,526
and wrap their presents at this
big long table that we'd set up,
1033
00:50:24,526 --> 00:50:28,362
and there would be eggnog
and then Christmas carols
1034
00:50:28,362 --> 00:50:31,533
and, um, when I was
old enough I got to help,
1035
00:50:31,533 --> 00:50:33,535
and it was a lot of fun.
1036
00:50:34,869 --> 00:50:38,873
Um, that could
definitely work.
1037
00:50:38,873 --> 00:50:40,207
How about this weekend?
1038
00:50:40,207 --> 00:50:42,001
We would just have
to get started ASAP,
1039
00:50:42,001 --> 00:50:44,169
especially since
donations keep coming in.
1040
00:50:44,169 --> 00:50:48,675
Yeah, uh, Saturday night.
I'll host.
1041
00:50:48,675 --> 00:50:50,677
I can even invite Allison.
1042
00:50:50,677 --> 00:50:54,263
Oh, and Andy.
That guy's got a ton of energy.
1043
00:50:54,263 --> 00:50:55,640
We could put it to use.
1044
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,267
Yeah, yeah.
Good idea.
1045
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:01,521
And now we sprinkle.
1046
00:51:04,774 --> 00:51:07,735
I am going to eat way
too many of these.
1047
00:51:07,735 --> 00:51:11,614
Discipline! There's a lot
more Christmas eating to come.
1048
00:51:13,032 --> 00:51:14,784
Hey, thanks for
coming early to help.
1049
00:51:14,784 --> 00:51:17,369
Thank you for getting me
together with Nate again.
1050
00:51:17,369 --> 00:51:19,872
I didn't think I'd see him
'til after the new year.
1051
00:51:21,415 --> 00:51:23,333
So, you really like him.
1052
00:51:23,333 --> 00:51:25,502
Yeah! Actually...
1053
00:51:26,963 --> 00:51:30,299
I haven't spent enough
time with him, to be honest.
1054
00:51:30,299 --> 00:51:33,011
I mean, he's certainly
everything I want,
1055
00:51:33,011 --> 00:51:34,177
at least on paper.
1056
00:51:34,177 --> 00:51:36,055
Ticks all the boxes,
as they say.
1057
00:51:36,055 --> 00:51:38,766
Yeah.
1058
00:51:38,766 --> 00:51:39,767
Okay.
1059
00:51:41,226 --> 00:51:44,229
In about 20 minutes
1060
00:51:44,229 --> 00:51:47,274
we'll have more
Christmas deliciousness.
1061
00:51:47,274 --> 00:51:50,028
Now, onto the eggnog.
1062
00:51:51,403 --> 00:51:52,614
I will say, though,
1063
00:51:52,614 --> 00:51:57,035
Nate seems like a bit of
a tough nut to crack.
1064
00:51:57,035 --> 00:51:58,578
He's a little distant.
1065
00:51:58,578 --> 00:52:01,246
Yeah, well,
don't give up on him.
1066
00:52:01,246 --> 00:52:04,374
He told me that
he hasn't dated anyone
1067
00:52:04,374 --> 00:52:07,461
since his wife passed away,
and he just isn't sure
1068
00:52:07,461 --> 00:52:09,756
if he's ready to be
serious about someone yet.
1069
00:52:09,756 --> 00:52:12,215
I didn't know
it was like that.
1070
00:52:12,215 --> 00:52:14,384
Well, it doesn't have
to be a bad thing.
1071
00:52:14,384 --> 00:52:17,387
Just look at it like
he's taking baby steps.
1072
00:52:18,472 --> 00:52:19,932
But he'll get there.
1073
00:52:19,932 --> 00:52:23,143
It's good advice.
Thanks, Hope.
1074
00:52:25,563 --> 00:52:28,524
Oh, I guess the eggnog
will have to wait.
1075
00:52:28,524 --> 00:52:30,275
They're here.
1076
00:52:30,275 --> 00:52:32,235
Come on.
1077
00:52:32,235 --> 00:52:35,447
Come in,
it's open.
1078
00:52:35,447 --> 00:52:38,241
Okay. Gift wrap,
scotch tape,
1079
00:52:38,241 --> 00:52:41,328
ribbons, extra scissors,
we've got it covered.
1080
00:52:41,328 --> 00:52:43,831
Yeah, we bought out
the store down the street,
1081
00:52:43,831 --> 00:52:46,125
and this is just
the first round of donations.
1082
00:52:46,125 --> 00:52:47,459
- Wow.
- Wow, good for you,
1083
00:52:47,459 --> 00:52:48,795
my overgrown elves.
1084
00:52:50,212 --> 00:52:54,092
Hey, Andy. Hi, Nate.
It's good to see you again.
1085
00:52:54,092 --> 00:52:55,384
You, too.
1086
00:52:56,803 --> 00:52:58,261
Uh, so, why don't
you guys get started,
1087
00:52:58,261 --> 00:53:00,890
and eggnog and cookies
in just a few minutes.
1088
00:53:00,890 --> 00:53:04,102
Cookies.
Great, I'm starving.
1089
00:53:04,102 --> 00:53:06,353
Okay, where should
we get set up?
1090
00:53:06,353 --> 00:53:07,980
Oh, uh-- Oh!
1091
00:53:09,732 --> 00:53:11,109
Thank you so much.
1092
00:53:11,109 --> 00:53:15,154
Uh, gift wrapping central will
be right over there.
1093
00:53:15,154 --> 00:53:16,739
- Okay.
- This way, come on.
1094
00:53:16,739 --> 00:53:18,783
I'm going to grab the rest of
the donations out of the car.
1095
00:53:18,783 --> 00:53:20,535
Nate and I had to caravan.
1096
00:53:20,535 --> 00:53:22,704
- Okay.
- Thanks, Andy! Okay.
1097
00:53:22,704 --> 00:53:25,623
Wow, you really do
have it covered.
1098
00:53:25,623 --> 00:53:26,916
Oh, yeah,
we got a lot of stuff.
1099
00:53:26,916 --> 00:53:28,918
Ribbon, tape.
It's so cute.
1100
00:53:28,918 --> 00:53:31,003
It is so cute.
This is going to be great.
1101
00:53:31,003 --> 00:53:32,171
This one's my favorite.
Aww!
1102
00:53:38,218 --> 00:53:40,387
Come on, Andy.
There's one snowman left.
1103
00:53:40,387 --> 00:53:41,556
It's your favorite.
1104
00:53:41,556 --> 00:53:42,557
Coming!
1105
00:53:46,144 --> 00:53:49,021
Yeah, I'm having some
trouble with this one.
1106
00:53:49,021 --> 00:53:50,523
Oh, Andy...
1107
00:53:52,066 --> 00:53:54,276
Yeah, I'm not really
a crafts person.
1108
00:53:54,276 --> 00:53:57,822
Yeah, maybe I should
just redo this one.
1109
00:53:57,822 --> 00:53:59,907
Yeah. Thanks.
1110
00:53:59,907 --> 00:54:02,952
I'm a better skater than
I am wrapper, I promise.
1111
00:54:02,952 --> 00:54:05,412
Hey, don't sweat it,
we're getting a lot done.
1112
00:54:05,412 --> 00:54:09,000
There is no way we could have
done this all at the office.
1113
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:10,918
Thank you so much
for all your help.
1114
00:54:10,918 --> 00:54:14,547
Yeah, it's been really amazing
seeing Regiftmas come to life
1115
00:54:14,547 --> 00:54:15,715
for the whole city.
1116
00:54:15,715 --> 00:54:17,299
My hands are tired.
1117
00:54:18,801 --> 00:54:20,803
But I'm glad we weren't playing
tonight so I could help out.
1118
00:54:20,803 --> 00:54:24,347
Well, we are so close
to done.
1119
00:54:24,347 --> 00:54:27,392
Why don't I start clearing some
of this stuff out of the way?
1120
00:54:27,392 --> 00:54:29,979
Oh, let me help you.
I'll grab some paper towel.
1121
00:54:29,979 --> 00:54:31,438
Do you need some help?
1122
00:54:31,438 --> 00:54:32,857
Oh, it's okay.
I got this.
1123
00:54:37,236 --> 00:54:38,613
You still watching
our games?
1124
00:54:38,613 --> 00:54:40,198
Oh, I wouldn't miss 'em.
1125
00:54:40,198 --> 00:54:42,033
You guys are on
a real winning streak.
1126
00:54:42,033 --> 00:54:43,408
Yeah, we've been lucky.
1127
00:54:44,994 --> 00:54:48,497
I gotta tell you, I don't meet
a lot of women who watch hockey.
1128
00:54:48,497 --> 00:54:51,667
Neither do I,
1129
00:54:51,667 --> 00:54:54,545
but, honestly, I would go
to every single game in person
1130
00:54:54,545 --> 00:54:56,047
if I could afford it.
1131
00:54:56,047 --> 00:54:58,465
You know, you don't
have to worry about that.
1132
00:54:58,465 --> 00:54:59,884
What do you mean?
1133
00:54:59,884 --> 00:55:01,844
I could leave a pass
for you at the box office.
1134
00:55:01,844 --> 00:55:03,805
We get free tickets
to every game.
1135
00:55:03,805 --> 00:55:05,056
You know, why should
they go to waste?
1136
00:55:05,056 --> 00:55:06,599
You would do that for me?
1137
00:55:06,599 --> 00:55:08,726
Well, it's honestly
not that big of a deal.
1138
00:55:08,726 --> 00:55:11,145
I would love that.
Thanks, Andy.
1139
00:55:11,145 --> 00:55:12,688
Yeah. Cool.
1140
00:55:14,397 --> 00:55:18,027
Okay, we are going to
make this place spotl--
1141
00:55:18,027 --> 00:55:19,278
- Oh!
- Oh!
1142
00:55:19,278 --> 00:55:22,698
I will get some
more paper towel.
1143
00:55:23,783 --> 00:55:24,951
It's okay.
1144
00:55:32,750 --> 00:55:34,710
Uh...
1145
00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:37,088
Nate knocked over
some nog.
1146
00:55:37,088 --> 00:55:38,297
Oh.
1147
00:55:38,297 --> 00:55:40,132
Oh, I got it. You're in
the middle of all that.
1148
00:55:46,681 --> 00:55:47,932
What?
1149
00:55:47,932 --> 00:55:50,017
It's just, um...
1150
00:55:51,602 --> 00:55:52,854
You're really nice,
1151
00:55:52,854 --> 00:55:56,524
and so, um, understanding
1152
00:55:56,524 --> 00:55:57,984
about everything.
1153
00:55:57,984 --> 00:56:02,404
I just wanted you to know
that I really appreciate you.
1154
00:56:03,405 --> 00:56:04,866
Oh, um...
1155
00:56:06,868 --> 00:56:08,661
Thanks, Andy.
1156
00:56:08,661 --> 00:56:11,831
I appreciate you, too.
1157
00:56:11,831 --> 00:56:16,794
Why don't I help you
with that mess?
1158
00:56:16,794 --> 00:56:17,837
Yeah.
1159
00:56:20,422 --> 00:56:22,758
What's going on
with you?
1160
00:56:22,758 --> 00:56:26,554
Sorry, I'm just, uh...
1161
00:56:26,554 --> 00:56:28,681
I'm lost
in my own head.
1162
00:56:28,681 --> 00:56:30,224
You know how it is.
1163
00:56:30,224 --> 00:56:32,935
Yeah, sure I do.
1164
00:56:32,935 --> 00:56:34,729
Um... uh...
1165
00:56:34,729 --> 00:56:38,816
Let's go mop up that nog,
why don't we?
1166
00:56:38,816 --> 00:56:39,901
- Yes, after you.
- Okay.
1167
00:56:46,448 --> 00:56:48,491
Sorry, my bad.
1168
00:56:48,491 --> 00:56:53,039
Nate, it's Christmas.
All is forgiven.
1169
00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:55,333
Hey, Andy's going
to be playing
1170
00:56:55,333 --> 00:56:57,293
in a special
Christmas tournament.
1171
00:56:57,293 --> 00:57:00,171
He can get us free passes.
Would you want to go?
1172
00:57:00,171 --> 00:57:03,341
You'll be done with
the Jingle Bell Jubilee by then.
1173
00:57:03,341 --> 00:57:04,634
Oh, sure.
1174
00:57:04,634 --> 00:57:07,136
I can probably get
a ticket for Brandon, too,
1175
00:57:07,136 --> 00:57:08,262
if he was interested.
1176
00:57:08,262 --> 00:57:11,265
He'd probably love that.
I'll let him know.
1177
00:57:11,265 --> 00:57:13,017
Hope?
1178
00:57:13,017 --> 00:57:14,894
Oh, it's very
sweet of you, Andy,
1179
00:57:14,894 --> 00:57:16,270
but hockey's not
really my thing.
1180
00:57:17,479 --> 00:57:18,981
I remember.
1181
00:57:19,982 --> 00:57:21,943
Here, why don't
I finish this off?
1182
00:57:21,943 --> 00:57:23,110
- Oh.
- Oh, nice.
1183
00:57:23,110 --> 00:57:24,111
That'll do it.
1184
00:57:24,111 --> 00:57:25,655
That's about it.
1185
00:57:25,655 --> 00:57:27,907
Now we just have to load
the presents into the vehicles.
1186
00:57:27,907 --> 00:57:29,659
Yeah, we got
a lot done tonight.
1187
00:57:29,659 --> 00:57:31,285
We sure did.
1188
00:57:31,285 --> 00:57:34,664
We are a lean, mean
gift-wrapping machine.
1189
00:57:34,664 --> 00:57:36,540
I'll go throw these
out for you.
1190
00:57:36,540 --> 00:57:37,541
Sorry.
1191
00:57:37,541 --> 00:57:38,584
No, no. I'll help.
1192
00:57:43,005 --> 00:57:44,423
Thanks again
for hosting this.
1193
00:57:44,423 --> 00:57:45,967
My staff was dreading
1194
00:57:45,967 --> 00:57:48,260
trying to put all this together
on their own.
1195
00:57:48,260 --> 00:57:50,221
You're going to make me
look like a hero at work.
1196
00:57:50,221 --> 00:57:52,348
Well, I feel like
you already do
1197
00:57:52,348 --> 00:57:55,475
with everything you did with
the Jubilee and Regiftmas.
1198
00:57:55,475 --> 00:57:57,103
Nate, it really
means a lot to me.
1199
00:57:57,103 --> 00:58:00,314
It means a lot to me, too.
1200
00:58:00,314 --> 00:58:02,149
You really saved
the charity drive.
1201
00:58:03,734 --> 00:58:04,735
Oh.
1202
00:58:16,789 --> 00:58:18,666
Um...
1203
00:58:18,666 --> 00:58:21,794
I-- I should go
help with the gifts.
1204
00:58:23,004 --> 00:58:24,005
Okay.
1205
00:58:38,436 --> 00:58:41,063
Knock, knock.
1206
00:58:41,063 --> 00:58:43,524
Oh. Hey, Andy.
Come on in.
1207
00:58:43,524 --> 00:58:46,193
I, uh, unloaded the presents
where you told me to,
1208
00:58:46,193 --> 00:58:47,945
so you're good to go, bro.
1209
00:58:47,945 --> 00:58:49,196
Good to go!
Thank you.
1210
00:58:54,618 --> 00:58:56,120
Is-- Is everything
else okay?
1211
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,580
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1212
00:58:57,580 --> 00:59:00,666
You know, just Christmas.
It's right around the corner.
1213
00:59:00,666 --> 00:59:02,501
Yeah, right around the corner.
1214
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,884
So, Hope's really awesome.
1215
00:59:09,884 --> 00:59:11,761
I love having her around.
1216
00:59:11,761 --> 00:59:15,056
Yeah, yeah. It's great getting
to catch up with her again
1217
00:59:15,056 --> 00:59:16,098
after all these years.
1218
00:59:16,098 --> 00:59:17,141
Oh, I bet.
1219
00:59:17,141 --> 00:59:18,184
Yeah.
1220
00:59:19,351 --> 00:59:22,772
How are, uh,
you and Allison getting along?
1221
00:59:22,772 --> 00:59:25,149
Oh, uh, we're good.
I mean...
1222
00:59:26,609 --> 00:59:28,360
We're just getting
to know each other.
1223
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,655
So, like, no big deal, or...
1224
00:59:31,655 --> 00:59:33,491
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
1225
00:59:36,577 --> 00:59:37,578
Okay.
1226
00:59:41,165 --> 00:59:44,210
Hey, Andy is something
else on your mind or?
1227
00:59:46,546 --> 00:59:47,671
I, uh...
1228
00:59:49,423 --> 00:59:51,884
I need to talk to Hope
about something important,
1229
00:59:51,884 --> 00:59:55,471
and I, uh...
I don't know how to do it,
1230
00:59:55,471 --> 00:59:57,264
I don't know what
she's going to say.
1231
00:59:57,264 --> 00:59:58,766
Okay, about what?
1232
01:00:01,143 --> 01:00:03,646
Uh, I don't want to say.
1233
01:00:03,646 --> 01:00:08,025
Is that cool? I just need
to talk to Hope first.
1234
01:00:08,025 --> 01:00:09,235
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
1235
01:00:13,989 --> 01:00:16,367
Yeah, okay.
Well, uh...
1236
01:00:16,367 --> 01:00:17,660
Gotta get to practice.
1237
01:00:19,036 --> 01:00:23,499
Well, if you do want to
talk about whatever, you--
1238
01:00:23,499 --> 01:00:25,376
Yeah, I know where to come.
1239
01:00:25,376 --> 01:00:26,418
City Hall.
1240
01:00:26,418 --> 01:00:28,045
Yeah.
1241
01:00:28,045 --> 01:00:30,881
Um, well, thanks again
for bringing the gifts,
1242
01:00:30,881 --> 01:00:33,175
not to mention all
the wrapping you've done.
1243
01:00:33,175 --> 01:00:34,511
It's been a big help.
1244
01:00:34,511 --> 01:00:36,929
It's no problem.
Have a good day, boss.
1245
01:00:36,929 --> 01:00:38,389
Yeah, you too.
1246
01:00:52,111 --> 01:00:54,196
I thought some
hot tea might be nice.
1247
01:00:54,196 --> 01:00:55,739
Well, you thought right.
1248
01:00:55,739 --> 01:00:56,866
Thank you, sir.
1249
01:00:56,866 --> 01:00:59,326
Oh, that is
the least I could do
1250
01:00:59,326 --> 01:01:03,664
after you helped fix the great
gift wrapping catastrophe.
1251
01:01:03,664 --> 01:01:06,083
Andy tried his best.
1252
01:01:06,083 --> 01:01:08,210
Yes, but his unique approach to
gift wrapping didn't go over
1253
01:01:08,210 --> 01:01:11,463
too well with my staff,
which is why I asked you quietly
1254
01:01:11,463 --> 01:01:15,594
to come over and fix his more...
challenging attempts.
1255
01:01:15,594 --> 01:01:17,303
I didn't want to
hurt his feelings.
1256
01:01:17,303 --> 01:01:19,471
Could have asked Allison.
1257
01:01:19,471 --> 01:01:20,557
No one wraps like you do,
1258
01:01:20,557 --> 01:01:22,725
and I didn't want
to take any chances.
1259
01:01:22,725 --> 01:01:24,603
Well, you're right. All our
regifts need to look beautiful
1260
01:01:24,603 --> 01:01:26,353
for everyone
who's getting them.
1261
01:01:26,353 --> 01:01:30,232
And basically, never let Andy
near a roll of gift wrap again.
1262
01:01:30,232 --> 01:01:32,151
Oh, don't be so hard on him.
1263
01:01:32,151 --> 01:01:33,528
Maybe it was meant to be.
1264
01:01:35,530 --> 01:01:39,742
With great regifting
comes great rewrapping. Hm?
1265
01:01:39,742 --> 01:01:41,744
You might be on
to something.
1266
01:01:43,287 --> 01:01:44,288
Huh.
1267
01:01:49,919 --> 01:01:52,004
So, what's the deal
with you two?
1268
01:01:52,004 --> 01:01:53,797
With who two?
1269
01:01:53,797 --> 01:01:55,341
You and Andy.
1270
01:01:55,341 --> 01:01:57,552
Me and Andy? Uh...
1271
01:01:57,552 --> 01:01:59,720
Nothing, we're
just friends.
1272
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,473
Oh, so you two
never dated?
1273
01:02:02,473 --> 01:02:04,225
Oh.
1274
01:02:04,225 --> 01:02:06,352
Yeah, well, we went out
a couple of times,
1275
01:02:06,352 --> 01:02:09,021
but it never went anywhere.
1276
01:02:09,021 --> 01:02:12,107
You know, he's a hockey player,
always on the road and...
1277
01:02:15,110 --> 01:02:17,738
- What?
- Nothing.
1278
01:02:17,738 --> 01:02:22,117
It's just, we had a very strange
conversation earlier.
1279
01:02:22,117 --> 01:02:24,912
First, he asked how things were
going with me and Allison.
1280
01:02:24,912 --> 01:02:26,497
Oh?
1281
01:02:26,497 --> 01:02:30,251
Mm-hm. At which I said
things were going fine.
1282
01:02:30,251 --> 01:02:33,672
Yeah, she does
really like you,
1283
01:02:33,672 --> 01:02:37,717
and you guys seem to have
a lot of fun together.
1284
01:02:37,717 --> 01:02:41,387
Honestly, it's just fun getting
to go out with adults again
1285
01:02:41,387 --> 01:02:44,056
after being
a single dad for so long.
1286
01:02:44,056 --> 01:02:46,726
Yeah, I bet.
1287
01:02:46,726 --> 01:02:48,477
I know this is
new territory for you.
1288
01:02:48,477 --> 01:02:51,105
So, good for you
for taking it on.
1289
01:02:55,276 --> 01:02:58,279
So, um,
what was the other thing?
1290
01:02:58,279 --> 01:03:00,615
Uh, what other thing?
1291
01:03:00,615 --> 01:03:02,408
What else
did Andy say?
1292
01:03:02,408 --> 01:03:06,787
Nothing. He just started
talking about how great you are.
1293
01:03:06,787 --> 01:03:09,957
Oh, okay.
That's odd.
1294
01:03:09,957 --> 01:03:11,166
In what way?
1295
01:03:11,166 --> 01:03:13,168
Well, when we were in
the kitchen yesterday,
1296
01:03:13,168 --> 01:03:15,337
he told me
he appreciated me,
1297
01:03:15,337 --> 01:03:17,965
and then he just kind of
stared at me for a few seconds.
1298
01:03:17,965 --> 01:03:19,425
Really?
1299
01:03:19,425 --> 01:03:22,637
Yeah. I feel like he was
trying to get at something.
1300
01:03:24,639 --> 01:03:26,098
I shouldn't have
said anything.
1301
01:03:27,474 --> 01:03:29,435
Never mind.
1302
01:03:29,435 --> 01:03:31,604
Never mind what?
1303
01:03:31,604 --> 01:03:33,773
- I shouldn't--
- Shouldn't what?
1304
01:03:33,773 --> 01:03:35,941
He said he wanted
to ask you something.
1305
01:03:35,941 --> 01:03:39,654
Something, and I quote,
"important."
1306
01:03:39,654 --> 01:03:41,822
Well, did he say
anything else?
1307
01:03:41,822 --> 01:03:44,825
No, he just seemed serious.
1308
01:03:44,825 --> 01:03:48,580
No. No.
Andy is never that serious.
1309
01:03:48,580 --> 01:03:51,290
I know, but he was
definitely serious.
1310
01:03:53,375 --> 01:03:55,461
I mean, he's been spending
a lot of time with you,
1311
01:03:55,461 --> 01:03:57,838
helping out for Regiftmas.
1312
01:03:57,838 --> 01:04:00,257
Maybe he realized something.
1313
01:04:02,384 --> 01:04:05,387
Could you possibly be
a little bit more vague?
1314
01:04:05,387 --> 01:04:09,016
Oh, maybe Mister Hockey Star
wants another shot.
1315
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:11,644
With you.
1316
01:04:43,384 --> 01:04:45,094
Nate really did a great job
1317
01:04:45,094 --> 01:04:46,387
putting this
whole thing together.
1318
01:04:46,387 --> 01:04:49,014
Yeah, he sure did.
1319
01:04:49,014 --> 01:04:50,725
Shows what hard work can do.
1320
01:04:50,725 --> 01:04:54,937
Or, correction,
hard work and heart.
1321
01:04:54,937 --> 01:04:56,438
Your heart.
1322
01:04:57,981 --> 01:05:00,109
Thanks for coming
with me today.
1323
01:05:00,109 --> 01:05:01,611
Oh, yeah.
Sure, Andy.
1324
01:05:01,611 --> 01:05:04,614
That's what friends are for.
1325
01:05:06,907 --> 01:05:09,284
Oh, look!
1326
01:05:10,994 --> 01:05:14,415
That's the coolest hat.
Great hat.
1327
01:05:17,376 --> 01:05:18,919
Oh, hi, Ms. Wilson.
1328
01:05:18,919 --> 01:05:21,380
Hey, Brandon.
Hi, Brandon's dad.
1329
01:05:21,380 --> 01:05:25,008
Hey. Can you believe it?
People are still donating.
1330
01:05:25,008 --> 01:05:27,428
We're going to have to
have another wrapping party.
1331
01:05:28,429 --> 01:05:30,347
It's beyond
my wildest dreams.
1332
01:05:30,347 --> 01:05:32,517
Yeah.
How are you guys doing?
1333
01:05:32,517 --> 01:05:34,435
Doing good?
Having fun?
1334
01:05:34,435 --> 01:05:37,730
Yes. Yeah.
We're-- We're good.
1335
01:05:39,816 --> 01:05:42,610
Nate, you did
an amazing job.
1336
01:05:42,610 --> 01:05:44,069
Thank you.
1337
01:05:47,364 --> 01:05:49,992
Hey, uh, we'll pop back
by in a little bit.
1338
01:05:49,992 --> 01:05:51,285
Come with me.
1339
01:05:51,285 --> 01:05:52,537
I want to buy you
a Santa cupcake
1340
01:05:52,537 --> 01:05:54,204
at the hot chocolate kiosk.
1341
01:05:54,204 --> 01:05:56,331
His hat... all icing.
1342
01:05:56,331 --> 01:05:59,752
Oh, okay. Well, that's a sugar
high waiting to happen.
1343
01:05:59,752 --> 01:06:02,839
Bye.
1344
01:06:02,839 --> 01:06:03,923
Bye.
1345
01:06:14,684 --> 01:06:18,855
Andy, uh,
is something going on?
1346
01:06:18,855 --> 01:06:20,690
Did Nate tell you?
1347
01:06:20,690 --> 01:06:22,274
Tell me what?
1348
01:06:22,274 --> 01:06:24,903
That I wanted to
ask you something.
1349
01:06:24,903 --> 01:06:27,572
He was looking at us
like something was going on.
1350
01:06:27,572 --> 01:06:30,783
He did tell me that you had
something important to ask me.
1351
01:06:30,783 --> 01:06:33,368
I wish he hadn't.
1352
01:06:33,368 --> 01:06:35,496
I know.
I'm sorry, but look,
1353
01:06:35,496 --> 01:06:37,749
I'm good to just
let the whole thing go.
1354
01:06:37,749 --> 01:06:40,835
But there is something
that I want to ask you.
1355
01:06:40,835 --> 01:06:44,171
Okay. Just ask it.
1356
01:06:44,171 --> 01:06:46,340
I'm just hoping that
you're going to be okay
1357
01:06:46,340 --> 01:06:47,382
with what I'm about to say.
1358
01:06:47,382 --> 01:06:48,593
Andy, just ask it.
1359
01:06:53,973 --> 01:06:55,432
It's just it's really hard.
1360
01:06:55,432 --> 01:06:57,100
Why?
1361
01:06:57,100 --> 01:06:59,646
Well, you and I went out
a couple of times,
1362
01:06:59,646 --> 01:07:03,148
and I don't know how
you feel about me, but--
1363
01:07:03,148 --> 01:07:05,985
I feel that--
1364
01:07:05,985 --> 01:07:10,489
that you are
a really great...
1365
01:07:10,489 --> 01:07:11,490
...friend.
1366
01:07:11,490 --> 01:07:13,325
Yes, exactly,
1367
01:07:13,325 --> 01:07:15,118
and it's good to
keep it that way.
1368
01:07:15,118 --> 01:07:17,329
Uh, yeah?
1369
01:07:19,206 --> 01:07:21,793
Okay, this is maybe going to
be easier than I thought.
1370
01:07:21,793 --> 01:07:25,630
I wanted to
ask you about Allison.
1371
01:07:25,630 --> 01:07:27,757
Allison?
1372
01:07:27,757 --> 01:07:30,760
I kinda
have a crush on her.
1373
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,512
You do!?
1374
01:07:32,512 --> 01:07:34,681
I've been wondering
for a little while.
1375
01:07:34,681 --> 01:07:37,767
I think that she may
have a crush on you, too.
1376
01:07:37,767 --> 01:07:40,019
She does?
1377
01:07:40,019 --> 01:07:42,187
Well, what about Nate?
1378
01:07:42,187 --> 01:07:45,608
I mean, I would ask her myself,
but if they're getting along
1379
01:07:45,608 --> 01:07:47,359
then I don't want
to interfere.
1380
01:07:47,359 --> 01:07:49,111
I'm not really sure.
1381
01:07:49,111 --> 01:07:50,947
Could you find out?
1382
01:07:50,947 --> 01:07:53,448
Andy, that's kind of
a big ask,
1383
01:07:53,448 --> 01:07:56,326
but Allison and I do
tell each other everything,
1384
01:07:56,326 --> 01:07:58,161
and she's supposed
to drop by here soon.
1385
01:07:58,161 --> 01:08:00,497
So, I can't make
any promises--
1386
01:08:00,497 --> 01:08:02,499
Yes, thank you!
Thank you, Hope!
1387
01:08:02,499 --> 01:08:05,712
Easy, big guy.
1388
01:08:11,759 --> 01:08:14,469
I wish my house
was this delicious.
1389
01:08:14,469 --> 01:08:17,849
Yeah, but then it would slowly
disappear piece by piece.
1390
01:08:17,849 --> 01:08:19,058
Oh, well, not slowly,
1391
01:08:19,058 --> 01:08:21,226
and then I'd just
bake another one.
1392
01:08:21,226 --> 01:08:25,397
You know, Nate insisted on
bringing this booth back, too.
1393
01:08:25,397 --> 01:08:27,609
He remembered it
from when we were kids.
1394
01:08:27,609 --> 01:08:30,528
Well, he is
one smart cookie.
1395
01:08:30,528 --> 01:08:32,739
He sure is.
1396
01:08:35,992 --> 01:08:38,995
I just wish that, uh...
1397
01:08:41,039 --> 01:08:42,331
What?
1398
01:08:42,331 --> 01:08:45,292
I thought you two
had a lot in common.
1399
01:08:45,292 --> 01:08:46,586
No, we do, but...
1400
01:08:48,211 --> 01:08:49,839
I just think
that's the problem.
1401
01:08:51,465 --> 01:08:53,425
The other night, when we
were out for hot chocolate--
1402
01:08:53,425 --> 01:08:54,927
Yeah?
1403
01:08:54,927 --> 01:08:59,139
--we ended up talking about
management theories for an hour.
1404
01:08:59,139 --> 01:09:00,432
Not very romantic.
1405
01:09:00,432 --> 01:09:01,726
No.
1406
01:09:01,726 --> 01:09:04,020
Yeah, and to be honest
it didn't really feel
1407
01:09:04,020 --> 01:09:06,105
like we had much else
to talk about.
1408
01:09:06,105 --> 01:09:08,231
Our get-togethers are
starting to feel more like...
1409
01:09:08,231 --> 01:09:09,942
staff meetings.
1410
01:09:09,942 --> 01:09:11,401
- Ouch.
- Mm-hm.
1411
01:09:11,401 --> 01:09:15,948
So, we talked it out,
and we decided no more dates.
1412
01:09:17,659 --> 01:09:18,743
Oh.
1413
01:09:18,743 --> 01:09:19,911
Yeah.
1414
01:09:19,911 --> 01:09:21,621
I-- I'm sorry.
1415
01:09:21,621 --> 01:09:25,165
I thought you two
would really hit it off.
1416
01:09:25,165 --> 01:09:27,710
Well, it's okay.
You tried.
1417
01:09:27,710 --> 01:09:29,837
I tried and even
Nate tried.
1418
01:09:29,837 --> 01:09:32,464
So, no harm no foul.
1419
01:09:34,383 --> 01:09:36,969
Well, then, I guess
I should tell you, um...
1420
01:09:38,428 --> 01:09:41,599
Well, I found out what
Andy wanted to ask me about.
1421
01:09:41,599 --> 01:09:42,934
Okay?
1422
01:09:42,934 --> 01:09:46,646
Turns out the person he wanted
to ask about was...
1423
01:09:46,646 --> 01:09:48,564
you.
1424
01:09:48,564 --> 01:09:50,525
- Me?
- He likes you.
1425
01:09:50,525 --> 01:09:51,526
- What?
- Like, a lot.
1426
01:09:51,526 --> 01:09:54,319
- Really?
- Really.
1427
01:09:54,319 --> 01:09:57,364
Oh, this is
the best Christmas present
1428
01:09:57,364 --> 01:09:58,991
a girl could ever ask for.
1429
01:09:58,991 --> 01:09:59,992
Aww.
1430
01:10:01,451 --> 01:10:03,412
Hey.
1431
01:10:03,412 --> 01:10:05,372
- Oh, hi.
- Hey.
1432
01:10:05,372 --> 01:10:08,543
Who's watching
the Regiftmas booth?
1433
01:10:08,543 --> 01:10:11,461
Oh, Brandon
and some of his buddies.
1434
01:10:11,461 --> 01:10:14,339
Uh, but listen, the mayor
is making his speech soon,
1435
01:10:14,339 --> 01:10:16,134
and he wants us to
stand on stage with him.
1436
01:10:16,134 --> 01:10:19,512
Us?
Us, like me and you?
1437
01:10:19,512 --> 01:10:21,430
Yeah, like me and you.
1438
01:10:21,430 --> 01:10:24,433
Okay.
1439
01:10:24,433 --> 01:10:26,393
Oh.
1440
01:10:26,393 --> 01:10:28,771
Hey, um, can you two
give us a minute?
1441
01:10:28,771 --> 01:10:30,690
Uh, yeah.
Sure. Yeah.
1442
01:10:30,690 --> 01:10:32,399
We'll catch up
with you guys later.
1443
01:10:36,571 --> 01:10:39,031
Don't they make
such a great couple?
1444
01:10:40,074 --> 01:10:41,993
Wait, what?
1445
01:10:41,993 --> 01:10:45,121
I thought Andy was
going to ask you out again.
1446
01:10:45,121 --> 01:10:48,290
Uh, no. Turns out Andy just
wanted to know if it was okay
1447
01:10:48,290 --> 01:10:50,292
if he could ask Allison out.
1448
01:10:50,292 --> 01:10:52,252
That's a twist.
1449
01:10:54,254 --> 01:10:56,841
So, you and Nate,
1450
01:10:56,841 --> 01:10:59,844
that's more of
a friendship thing?
1451
01:10:59,844 --> 01:11:00,928
Yeah.
1452
01:11:02,638 --> 01:11:06,308
So, would it be okay,
if we went out sometime?
1453
01:11:06,308 --> 01:11:07,434
Like, you and me?
1454
01:11:09,145 --> 01:11:11,147
Andy, I would love that.
1455
01:11:11,147 --> 01:11:12,940
Me, too.
1456
01:11:12,940 --> 01:11:14,483
Great.
1457
01:11:14,483 --> 01:11:17,402
Hey, do you want to go
get some hot chocolate?
1458
01:11:17,402 --> 01:11:19,655
I would love that.
1459
01:11:19,655 --> 01:11:22,742
Plus, I heard they have
those Santa cupcakes.
1460
01:11:22,742 --> 01:11:23,826
Even better.
1461
01:11:28,371 --> 01:11:29,957
Hey, it's them.
There they are!
1462
01:11:29,957 --> 01:11:31,083
I saw them on TV.
1463
01:11:34,796 --> 01:11:36,005
What, are we
celebrities now?
1464
01:11:36,005 --> 01:11:37,131
Yeah, exactly.
1465
01:11:41,135 --> 01:11:42,804
I think
it's the news report.
1466
01:11:42,804 --> 01:11:44,304
You wouldn't believe
how many people came up to me
1467
01:11:44,304 --> 01:11:46,974
in the booth and thought
we were, like, um...
1468
01:11:46,974 --> 01:11:48,684
Like, um, what?
1469
01:11:48,684 --> 01:11:50,477
Uh, a couple
or something.
1470
01:11:50,477 --> 01:11:51,896
Oh.
1471
01:11:51,896 --> 01:11:55,398
Well, hey, maybe we should
hold hands once in a while.
1472
01:11:55,398 --> 01:11:57,317
Give the people
what they want.
1473
01:12:12,250 --> 01:12:16,087
I think my experience with
Allison has taught me something.
1474
01:12:16,087 --> 01:12:19,298
That is...
I'm definitely not ready.
1475
01:12:22,009 --> 01:12:24,762
Uh, how do you know that?
1476
01:12:24,762 --> 01:12:27,430
Oh, well,
1477
01:12:27,430 --> 01:12:29,308
while Allison and I
were hanging out...
1478
01:12:31,102 --> 01:12:34,479
...I just kept avoiding
anything that would make it
1479
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,901
more of a real relationship,
and I think that is a red flag.
1480
01:12:41,361 --> 01:12:43,739
Maybe I'll never
be ready.
1481
01:12:43,739 --> 01:12:47,577
Doesn't happen twice and that's
just how it's supposed to be.
1482
01:12:49,787 --> 01:12:53,624
But it's your life, Nate.
1483
01:12:53,624 --> 01:12:55,500
It can be whatever
you want it to be.
1484
01:12:58,254 --> 01:12:59,964
Yeah, I know, I just...
1485
01:13:01,966 --> 01:13:06,386
But it has been nice
spending time with you.
1486
01:13:09,891 --> 01:13:14,394
You make it sound like we'll
never see each other again.
1487
01:13:14,394 --> 01:13:16,689
Oh. Oh, no.
Like, it's just...
1488
01:13:19,609 --> 01:13:21,443
Regiftmas, Christmas,
1489
01:13:21,443 --> 01:13:24,864
the whole
Jingle Bell Jubilee.
1490
01:13:24,864 --> 01:13:28,576
I mean, it'll all be done,
1491
01:13:28,576 --> 01:13:32,288
and soon the Christmas
glow will all be gone,
1492
01:13:32,288 --> 01:13:35,082
and we just gotta
get back to reality.
1493
01:13:37,209 --> 01:13:38,294
I...
1494
01:13:38,294 --> 01:13:40,212
Yeah, yeah. We will...
1495
01:13:40,212 --> 01:13:42,506
Yeah.
1496
01:13:42,506 --> 01:13:45,593
You, uh,
ready to take the stage?
1497
01:13:45,593 --> 01:13:47,511
Yes, sir.
1498
01:13:47,511 --> 01:13:49,513
You know,
maybe it should just be Nate,
1499
01:13:49,513 --> 01:13:52,141
'cause I wasn't
that involved.
1500
01:13:52,141 --> 01:13:56,478
Hope, your Regiftmas idea
has made this a Christmas
1501
01:13:56,478 --> 01:13:59,273
to remember for
a lot of needy families.
1502
01:13:59,273 --> 01:14:01,692
I'm not getting up on
that stage without you.
1503
01:14:02,902 --> 01:14:05,237
Come on.
1504
01:14:14,372 --> 01:14:18,751
And I hope you've all enjoyed
this year's Jingle Bell Jubilee.
1505
01:14:18,751 --> 01:14:21,879
Personally, I think it may
be the best we've ever had.
1506
01:14:25,758 --> 01:14:27,176
Now, on that note,
1507
01:14:27,176 --> 01:14:29,095
I'd like to introduce you
to two people
1508
01:14:29,095 --> 01:14:32,306
that you may already
be acquainted with.
1509
01:14:32,306 --> 01:14:35,101
Our new City Manager
Nate Albertson
1510
01:14:35,101 --> 01:14:39,479
and one brilliant
school teacher, Hope Wilson.
1511
01:14:45,736 --> 01:14:49,824
What you all may not know is
just a little while ago
1512
01:14:49,824 --> 01:14:52,702
our annual Christmas Charity
Drive was in deep,
1513
01:14:52,702 --> 01:14:54,120
deep trouble.
1514
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,623
Then these two young people
found a way
1515
01:14:57,623 --> 01:15:00,251
to turn it around
by introducing all of us
1516
01:15:00,251 --> 01:15:03,587
to the concept of Regiftmas.
1517
01:15:03,587 --> 01:15:04,922
Result?
1518
01:15:04,922 --> 01:15:07,174
A record number
of donations this year,
1519
01:15:07,174 --> 01:15:09,885
far surpassing past efforts!
1520
01:15:09,885 --> 01:15:13,931
Oh, wow! Wow!
1521
01:15:13,931 --> 01:15:18,144
Which is why Nate and Hope
1522
01:15:18,144 --> 01:15:22,064
will each be receiving
special recognition medals
1523
01:15:22,064 --> 01:15:24,233
from the City
of Larchmont Falls
1524
01:15:24,233 --> 01:15:29,113
to honor everything they've
accomplished for our town!
1525
01:15:29,113 --> 01:15:30,698
Take a bow, you two!
1526
01:15:38,998 --> 01:15:40,583
Oh! Oh! One more thing!
1527
01:15:40,583 --> 01:15:44,170
Don't forget about our annual
Christmas Eve Jingle Bell Dance
1528
01:15:44,170 --> 01:15:47,089
tonight at seven right here
in City Hall
1529
01:15:47,089 --> 01:15:50,176
and I want to wish each and
every one of you
1530
01:15:50,176 --> 01:15:52,094
a Merry Christmas.
1531
01:16:01,854 --> 01:16:03,105
Merry Christmas!
1532
01:16:04,857 --> 01:16:07,109
Thanks again, you two.
1533
01:16:07,109 --> 01:16:10,071
I'll see that you get those
medals as soon as possible.
1534
01:16:10,071 --> 01:16:12,323
Nate, who looks after
the medals?
1535
01:16:12,323 --> 01:16:13,866
I do, sir.
1536
01:16:13,866 --> 01:16:15,326
Well, we're
in good hands.
1537
01:16:15,326 --> 01:16:18,204
Now, I expect to see
both of you back here
1538
01:16:18,204 --> 01:16:20,372
at the Jingle Bell Dance
tonight.
1539
01:16:20,372 --> 01:16:22,041
- Oh, I really don't think...
- I don't...
1540
01:16:22,041 --> 01:16:24,126
Oh, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
1541
01:16:24,126 --> 01:16:26,712
This is one of the high points
of the Jubilee
1542
01:16:26,712 --> 01:16:29,632
and I will not take "no"
for an answer.
1543
01:16:29,632 --> 01:16:33,594
You two represent the best this
city has to offer.
1544
01:16:33,594 --> 01:16:35,763
Ergo, you will both be there.
Hmm?
1545
01:16:36,806 --> 01:16:38,517
I'll see you later.
1546
01:16:42,812 --> 01:16:45,022
Well, he is the boss,
1547
01:16:45,022 --> 01:16:46,732
or my boss at least.
1548
01:16:49,569 --> 01:16:51,278
Are you gonna come?
1549
01:16:52,531 --> 01:16:54,698
Uh...
1550
01:16:54,698 --> 01:16:57,536
No.
No, I don't think so.
1551
01:16:57,536 --> 01:16:59,245
I'm pretty wiped out.
1552
01:16:59,245 --> 01:17:01,038
Yeah.
1553
01:17:01,038 --> 01:17:02,206
I get it.
1554
01:17:04,917 --> 01:17:07,253
But still, it might be
nice to...
1555
01:17:09,630 --> 01:17:10,756
I don't know.
1556
01:17:15,554 --> 01:17:17,888
I, yeah, you should, um,
1557
01:17:17,888 --> 01:17:20,182
you should go home and rest.
You did your part.
1558
01:17:22,309 --> 01:17:24,395
Are you sure?
1559
01:17:24,395 --> 01:17:26,772
Because...
1560
01:17:26,772 --> 01:17:28,816
I could--
I could come.
1561
01:17:30,734 --> 01:17:33,487
Uh, no.
1562
01:17:33,487 --> 01:17:34,947
No, that's okay.
1563
01:17:35,948 --> 01:17:37,366
You have done
more than enough.
1564
01:17:41,704 --> 01:17:44,915
Well, if that's
how you look at it...
1565
01:17:50,296 --> 01:17:51,463
Have a good
Christmas, Hope.
1566
01:17:51,463 --> 01:17:53,340
Yeah, you too, Nate.
1567
01:18:18,073 --> 01:18:19,325
See you guys tomorrow.
1568
01:18:19,325 --> 01:18:21,702
Hey! Aren't you coming
to the dance?
1569
01:18:21,702 --> 01:18:24,664
Yeah, 'cause...
guess what?
1570
01:18:24,664 --> 01:18:26,583
What?
1571
01:18:26,583 --> 01:18:29,043
We're going together!
1572
01:18:29,043 --> 01:18:32,963
Oh! That's-- That's so great,
you guys.
1573
01:18:32,963 --> 01:18:36,133
But no. I'm gonna sit
this one out.
1574
01:18:36,133 --> 01:18:37,927
But you guys have fun.
Okay?
1575
01:18:40,221 --> 01:18:41,347
What?
1576
01:18:41,347 --> 01:18:43,224
I-- I don't know.
1577
01:18:43,224 --> 01:18:45,726
We just thought since the two of
us are going together.
1578
01:18:45,726 --> 01:18:48,812
Yeah, you and Nate would
come with and...
1579
01:18:48,812 --> 01:18:50,773
I don't think so, Andy.
1580
01:18:50,773 --> 01:18:52,399
It's not what he wants.
1581
01:18:52,399 --> 01:18:54,109
You don't that.
1582
01:18:54,109 --> 01:18:55,861
No, I-- I do.
1583
01:18:55,861 --> 01:18:58,405
Yeah, he told me that after
everything that happened
1584
01:18:58,405 --> 01:19:02,785
with you, it just kind of proved
to him that he's not ready.
1585
01:19:02,785 --> 01:19:06,665
Okay, but, and this is
just a theory.
1586
01:19:06,665 --> 01:19:09,333
What if the reason Nate didn't
want to be with me
1587
01:19:09,333 --> 01:19:11,961
is because he actually
wants to be with you,
1588
01:19:11,961 --> 01:19:13,254
but he just can't see it?
1589
01:19:14,338 --> 01:19:16,591
Maybe, but...
1590
01:19:16,591 --> 01:19:18,718
- No, I.
- Hope!
1591
01:19:18,718 --> 01:19:21,053
When we're out on the ice and
things are getting hairy,
1592
01:19:21,053 --> 01:19:23,389
sometimes we need
to push one of the guys
1593
01:19:23,389 --> 01:19:25,808
to do the thing that
he needs to do.
1594
01:19:25,808 --> 01:19:28,227
Maybe that's what Nate needs.
A little push.
1595
01:19:28,227 --> 01:19:31,523
Maybe you could
use one, too.
1596
01:19:31,523 --> 01:19:33,608
I really appreciate
the advice, you guys,
1597
01:19:33,608 --> 01:19:37,737
but I need to respect
Nate's wishes.
1598
01:19:37,737 --> 01:19:41,073
Regiftmas is behind us now and--
and it was amazing
1599
01:19:41,073 --> 01:19:43,367
and I am so lucky,
1600
01:19:43,367 --> 01:19:45,786
but I just, I need to move on
with my life.
1601
01:19:47,871 --> 01:19:50,457
But you guys
have fun, okay?
1602
01:19:50,457 --> 01:19:51,875
Really!
1603
01:19:52,876 --> 01:19:54,420
Hope.
1604
01:21:13,123 --> 01:21:14,958
- Ha. Look at you two.
- Yeah!
1605
01:21:14,958 --> 01:21:17,086
It all kind of worked out,
I guess.
1606
01:21:17,086 --> 01:21:18,588
Thanks to you and Hope.
1607
01:21:18,588 --> 01:21:19,798
Great party, by the way.
1608
01:21:19,798 --> 01:21:21,633
Uh, well, you'll have
to give the credit
1609
01:21:21,633 --> 01:21:22,966
to the Chamber of Commerce.
1610
01:21:22,966 --> 01:21:24,844
They handle the
Jingle Bell Dance.
1611
01:21:24,844 --> 01:21:27,722
Which was good for me, because
I had enough on my plate.
1612
01:21:27,722 --> 01:21:30,140
So, Hope didn't show?
1613
01:21:30,140 --> 01:21:32,519
Uh, no, no.
1614
01:21:32,519 --> 01:21:34,521
Yeah, she said
she wasn't going to,
1615
01:21:34,521 --> 01:21:38,023
but we were kind
of hoping that maybe...
1616
01:21:38,023 --> 01:21:40,234
Yeah, yeah,
I sort of was too,
1617
01:21:40,234 --> 01:21:42,695
but I can't blame her.
1618
01:21:42,695 --> 01:21:45,657
Well, you look like you could
use a dance partner.
1619
01:21:45,657 --> 01:21:47,491
Ah, no, no. That's okay.
1620
01:21:47,491 --> 01:21:49,326
You two go ahead.
1621
01:21:49,326 --> 01:21:50,787
After all,
you just got together.
1622
01:21:50,787 --> 01:21:53,455
Oh, come on.
It's just one dance, Nate.
1623
01:21:53,455 --> 01:21:54,998
- Do you mind?
- No!
1624
01:21:54,998 --> 01:21:57,251
He's gonna be better at not
stepping on your toes anyways.
1625
01:21:57,251 --> 01:21:59,712
I'm gonna go get some punch.
1626
01:21:59,712 --> 01:22:00,963
Come on.
1627
01:22:00,963 --> 01:22:03,633
Okay.
1628
01:22:12,057 --> 01:22:14,184
I've wanted to tell you,
Allison,
1629
01:22:14,184 --> 01:22:16,437
I'm sorry you
and I didn't click.
1630
01:22:16,437 --> 01:22:17,938
I just don't think
I was ready.
1631
01:22:19,940 --> 01:22:21,275
Nate.
1632
01:22:21,275 --> 01:22:23,360
Did you ever think that maybe
you weren't ready,
1633
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,320
because I'm not
the right person for you?
1634
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:27,824
And maybe if you were with
the right person...
1635
01:22:29,199 --> 01:22:32,327
You're not talking about
a specific person, are you?
1636
01:22:32,327 --> 01:22:35,164
I'm talking hypothetically.
1637
01:22:35,164 --> 01:22:36,666
Hypothetically?
1638
01:22:36,666 --> 01:22:39,752
Okay, not hypothetically.
1639
01:22:39,752 --> 01:22:41,420
I'm talking about Hope.
1640
01:22:43,213 --> 01:22:46,341
Yeah, I mean, I just...
1641
01:22:46,341 --> 01:22:48,427
I think I pushed her away one
too many times
1642
01:22:48,427 --> 01:22:50,513
and now I can't stop
thinking about her.
1643
01:22:50,513 --> 01:22:52,932
What do you mean?
1644
01:22:52,932 --> 01:22:55,602
I mean, Regiftmas
is over.
1645
01:22:55,602 --> 01:22:57,978
This whole time I was able
to be with Hope
1646
01:22:57,978 --> 01:23:00,355
without admitting to myself
how much it meant to me
1647
01:23:00,355 --> 01:23:03,943
and, uh, I could just tell
myself I was doing my job.
1648
01:23:03,943 --> 01:23:08,155
Nate, everybody knew you weren't
just doing your job.
1649
01:23:11,158 --> 01:23:13,786
Yeah, except the one person
that mattered the most.
1650
01:23:36,308 --> 01:23:39,729
Sorry, Allison,
I think I need to cut in.
1651
01:23:40,897 --> 01:23:42,524
Yeah, you do.
1652
01:24:02,459 --> 01:24:04,003
You showed up.
1653
01:24:04,003 --> 01:24:05,420
Yeah, I did.
1654
01:24:07,882 --> 01:24:09,801
What changed your mind?
1655
01:24:09,801 --> 01:24:11,678
Well...
1656
01:24:11,678 --> 01:24:14,346
I went home and I saw my
grandmother's cedar chest
1657
01:24:14,346 --> 01:24:15,765
right back in my living room
1658
01:24:15,765 --> 01:24:19,434
and I just thought about how she
was so unselfish.
1659
01:24:19,434 --> 01:24:21,980
She always cared so much about
other people.
1660
01:24:21,980 --> 01:24:25,984
Not about herself and I always
tried to be like that.
1661
01:24:25,984 --> 01:24:30,070
What makes me happy is making
other people happy.
1662
01:24:30,070 --> 01:24:31,614
That's why I love
Regiftmas so much.
1663
01:24:31,614 --> 01:24:35,577
- I know.
- But I realized that...
1664
01:24:35,577 --> 01:24:40,330
I was making myself pretend that
I didn't have feelings for you.
1665
01:24:40,330 --> 01:24:42,542
First, because Allison
wanted to date you
1666
01:24:42,542 --> 01:24:44,084
and then because you told me you
weren't ready
1667
01:24:44,084 --> 01:24:46,378
and I wanted
to respect that,
1668
01:24:46,378 --> 01:24:51,300
but then, I couldn't help but
think about how sad you looked
1669
01:24:51,300 --> 01:24:55,847
when I left the ceremony and
I just started to wonder...
1670
01:24:58,057 --> 01:25:01,728
...what if what I want
is really what you want.
1671
01:25:03,062 --> 01:25:05,355
What if those two things,
they just, they line up?
1672
01:25:07,984 --> 01:25:11,445
I started thinking
a lot after you left.
1673
01:25:13,948 --> 01:25:18,077
And I think, Ms. Wilson,
1674
01:25:18,077 --> 01:25:20,203
you might be on
to something.
1675
01:25:21,204 --> 01:25:22,289
Really?
1676
01:25:23,498 --> 01:25:25,334
Really.
1677
01:25:42,852 --> 01:25:46,939
I guess it's not just
what we want.
1678
01:25:46,939 --> 01:25:48,775
What they want.
1679
01:25:49,817 --> 01:25:51,569
So, you know what they say.
1680
01:25:51,569 --> 01:25:54,321
Let's... let's give the people
what they want.
