1
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,743
Do you want some help?
2
00:01:16,826 --> 00:01:18,870
Yes please.
3
00:01:22,123 --> 00:01:23,875
Okay, that's cute.
4
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:25,126
{\an8}Thank you so much.
5
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:26,711
{\an8}Hi! Ooh, hi, honey!
6
00:01:26,795 --> 00:01:28,171
{\an8}Oh, hey, girl!
7
00:01:28,254 --> 00:01:29,881
{\an8}Is it just me, or do Christmas trees
8
00:01:29,964 --> 00:01:31,591
{\an8}just get bigger every year?
9
00:01:31,674 --> 00:01:33,927
{\an8}Uh, have you considered
maybe you're shrinking?
10
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:36,346
{\an8}No, really. I mean,
don't you feel like Christmas
11
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:38,348
{\an8}just gets bigger, every year?
12
00:01:38,431 --> 00:01:39,974
{\an8}Okay, I sense a tirade,
13
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:42,310
{\an8}and I'm totally here for it,
bigger in what way?
14
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:45,522
{\an8}- Just, longer. You know?
- More ornate, more complex.
15
00:01:45,605 --> 00:01:47,148
{\an8}Give me an example.
16
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:50,318
{\an8}- Take Christmas flavours, okay?
- So, first it was peppermint.
17
00:01:50,401 --> 00:01:52,529
{\an8}- Then it was peppermint mocha.
- Yeah.
18
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:54,212
{\an8}Now it's peppermint mocha
creme cookie!
19
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,032
{\an8}You love peppermint mocha
creme cookie!
20
00:01:56,115 --> 00:01:57,659
{\an8}I know, I'm not complaining,
21
00:01:57,742 --> 00:01:59,577
{\an8}I'm just asking if you ever noticed.
22
00:01:59,661 --> 00:02:00,888
{\an8}I'll tell you what I've noticed.
23
00:02:00,912 --> 00:02:03,498
{\an8}Christmas has never been
more romantic.
24
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:04,624
{\an8}What do you mean?
25
00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:06,027
{\an8}Every Christmas card I've gotten
26
00:02:06,084 --> 00:02:08,294
{\an8}is a wedding announcement,
or a baby announcement.
27
00:02:08,378 --> 00:02:11,005
{\an8}My street is a thoroughfare of mistletoe.
28
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:12,632
{\an8}- Yeah.
- Even the cocoa's coupled!
29
00:02:12,715 --> 00:02:13,716
{\an8}Hmm?
30
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,510
{\an8}The coffee shop by my house,
31
00:02:15,593 --> 00:02:18,179
{\an8}it's the sign insisting
that cocoa is perfect for two.
32
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:21,975
{\an8}Yeah, I get it. I mean, it's
not just you, I see it, too.
33
00:02:22,058 --> 00:02:24,727
{\an8}We're just at the age where
everyone's getting married.
34
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:26,604
{\an8}Wait, so Christmas
is just supposed to be
35
00:02:26,688 --> 00:02:27,772
{\an8}for couples and romance?
36
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:29,566
{\an8}Christmas is for everyone.
37
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,317
{\an8}Including singles, and including you!
38
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:34,487
{\an8}Mmm. Then, why does it take two people
39
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:35,989
to carry a Christmas tree?
40
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:37,407
Ugh!
41
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:39,492
Got it?
42
00:02:39,576 --> 00:02:40,618
There we go.
43
00:02:40,702 --> 00:02:42,620
- We can do it!
- We can do it!
44
00:02:46,749 --> 00:02:48,293
Merry Christmas, donation.
45
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:51,671
Tell me you got us
the Montclair Chalet Suites.
46
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:54,966
Accessible only by private gondola!
47
00:02:55,049 --> 00:02:56,634
And the Olympic ski instructors?
48
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:59,554
Reserved! Along with
the après-ski caviar
49
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:00,722
service you wanted.
50
00:03:00,805 --> 00:03:03,224
The gold standard of Aspen ski trips!
51
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,560
Love it, yeah.
52
00:03:05,643 --> 00:03:08,897
Ugh, Santa's giving me a migraine.
53
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:11,691
- Who let him in the building?
- I assume someone interested
54
00:03:11,774 --> 00:03:14,819
- in giving back at the holidays.
- Could we call somebody?
55
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:16,589
No, I'll handle it,
I'm just heading out anyway.
56
00:03:16,613 --> 00:03:20,033
- Have a good day.
- Yeah. Take care, slacker.
57
00:03:20,116 --> 00:03:21,993
Here for the needy.
58
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:24,746
Santa, I think you could use this.
59
00:03:24,829 --> 00:03:26,080
Oh, that's kind of you.
60
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,124
Uh...
61
00:03:28,207 --> 00:03:31,127
Oh, that's very kind of you!
62
00:03:31,211 --> 00:03:32,688
Yeah, I assume you're not
having much luck
63
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:33,796
with my colleagues.
64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,274
Ho-ho-ho, your assumption is correct!
65
00:03:35,298 --> 00:03:37,338
There's a children's
non-profit a few floors down,
66
00:03:37,383 --> 00:03:38,676
you might do better there.
67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Your colleagues want me to scram?
68
00:03:40,178 --> 00:03:41,906
Yeah, don't take it personally, they're all
69
00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:43,490
on the naughty list!
It's just their personality.
70
00:03:43,514 --> 00:03:45,642
Come on, I'll take you.
71
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,604
Oh, hey. Ask your neighbor
to hold the door.
72
00:03:49,687 --> 00:03:52,065
- What? No, please, no!
- Why not?
73
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,817
Because chit chat with him
always requires a shuffle.
74
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:56,277
What's a shuffle?
75
00:03:56,361 --> 00:03:58,380
You know, like, safe topics
of conversation shuffle
76
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:00,990
where you have to talk about the
weather for exactly 90 seconds.
77
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:02,343
Oh yeah, cause any shorter's rude,
78
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:03,844
- and any longer's intrusive.
- Exactly!
79
00:04:03,868 --> 00:04:05,828
Okay, but you and I
are not going to be able
80
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:07,956
to get that door open
while carrying this tree.
81
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,584
- Fair point. Hey, Cooper!
- Can you hold the door?
82
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:13,336
Yeah.
83
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:15,296
- I got you.
- Oh, gosh.
84
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:20,176
- There you go.
- Okay. Okay.
85
00:04:20,259 --> 00:04:21,844
- Thank you!
- Yeah.
86
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,847
Um, Cooper this is my friend, so...
87
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,766
Yeah, uh, Emily, right?
88
00:04:26,849 --> 00:04:29,310
- Julia.
- Julia, right.
89
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:31,187
Yeah.
90
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:33,314
So uh, cold out tonight, eh?
91
00:04:33,398 --> 00:04:36,359
Oh, yes. Hoo! Jack Frost is nipping!
92
00:04:36,442 --> 00:04:37,735
Oh yeah!
93
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,698
- So, what are you doing?
- So, any big holiday plans?
94
00:04:41,781 --> 00:04:43,408
Oh, Christma..., you, you go.
95
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:47,286
Um, I'm going to Aspen,
skiing with a work colleague.
96
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,580
It's gonna be awesome.
97
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:53,710
What about you?
98
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:55,253
Um, well...
99
00:04:55,336 --> 00:04:57,213
For the last ten years,
100
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:59,177
I usually go to Ohio,
but this year, my family's
101
00:04:59,257 --> 00:05:00,341
coming here to Chicago.
102
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:01,843
Cool, nice.
103
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,349
I'm gonna check my mail.
Yup, just, coming through!
104
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:10,226
- Bye!
- Yeah.
105
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:11,978
God, no!
106
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:16,232
Huh?
107
00:05:16,315 --> 00:05:18,401
Oooh!
108
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:19,986
What do you think?
109
00:05:20,069 --> 00:05:22,488
I think Christmas trees
actually have gotten bigger.
110
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:23,948
And more beautiful.
111
00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:25,491
Hmm, only when you pick them!
112
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:28,161
I'm level 12 excited
for Christmas this year!
113
00:05:28,244 --> 00:05:30,246
Oh, I know! I mean, you finally get to do
114
00:05:30,329 --> 00:05:32,141
all the fun Chicago things
you missed out on every year.
115
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,334
Yes, and show my parents my life.
116
00:05:34,417 --> 00:05:35,519
And hopefully make them proud.
117
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:37,336
Girl, of course they're proud of you.
118
00:05:37,420 --> 00:05:39,422
Oh, one second.
119
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,593
- Hey, Mom!
- Hi, sweetie.
120
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:45,094
Oh! Hi, Mama Duke!
121
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:46,929
Oh, Merry Christmas, girls!
122
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,348
In 17 hours, you will be
123
00:05:49,432 --> 00:05:50,350
what's the matter?
124
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:52,477
Bad news, honey.
125
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,937
Uncle Eli fell and fractured his hip.
126
00:05:55,021 --> 00:05:56,397
Oh no, is he okay?
127
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:57,857
No, no, he'll be fine.
128
00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:00,193
But I do feel like I should stay with him.
129
00:06:00,276 --> 00:06:03,112
Yeah, yeah, of,
of course, bring him here!
130
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,530
Oh, he can stay at my place
131
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:06,074
while Dave and me are in Madison.
132
00:06:06,157 --> 00:06:07,717
Well, that's very generous of you two,
133
00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,094
but he can't travel right now, so...
134
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:12,455
- So you can't come to Chicago?
- Um, what about Dad?
135
00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,582
Oh well, you know your father,
136
00:06:14,665 --> 00:06:16,709
he'll go wherever he's needed most.
137
00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:20,129
Well, of course, that's
with you and Uncle Eli.
138
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,756
It's fine, I'm gonna be fine,
139
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,317
I have, I have Rose and Sasha coming.
140
00:06:23,341 --> 00:06:25,760
Actually, hey Mom,
that's Rose on the other line.
141
00:06:25,843 --> 00:06:26,761
I'll call you back, okay?
142
00:06:26,844 --> 00:06:28,387
Of course! Muah!
143
00:06:28,471 --> 00:06:29,764
- Hi, Rose!
- Sasha, did you
144
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:32,767
- pack the presents?
- Rose! Did you butt dial me?
145
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:34,936
Oh no! Sorry, Nelly belly,
no, I meant to call you,
146
00:06:35,019 --> 00:06:37,939
but I just got distracted trying
to get the car packed.
147
00:06:38,022 --> 00:06:39,690
What? You're driving here?
148
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:41,818
No, I'm so sorry,
149
00:06:41,901 --> 00:06:44,570
Sasha's sister went
into labor a month early.
150
00:06:44,654 --> 00:06:46,256
I tried to tell her not to eat spicy food,
151
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:47,990
but what do I know?
152
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:50,243
So, we have to go to Columbus
to watch Sasha's nephews.
153
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:53,376
Wait, so you're not
coming to Chicago either?
154
00:06:53,454 --> 00:06:55,706
No, I'm so sorry!
155
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,458
But, you can come to Columbus!
156
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,627
You can meet the baby.
157
00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:03,089
No, I think being at my
brother-in-law's sister's house
158
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:06,217
with their brand new baby
could potentially be awkward.
159
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:07,885
But you can't spend Christmas alone!
160
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:09,554
That's so depressing.
161
00:07:09,637 --> 00:07:11,437
I'm not gonna be alone,
I have friends here!
162
00:07:11,514 --> 00:07:13,432
- I'll be fine.
- Sasha! Did you pack
163
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:14,934
- the presents?
- Bye.
164
00:07:15,017 --> 00:07:16,537
- Love you, Nelly belly. Bye.
- Okay, girl?
165
00:07:16,561 --> 00:07:19,105
Grab your bags, you're coming
to Madison with Dave and me.
166
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:22,191
As much as I love your
in-laws, no, I'm gonna be fine.
167
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:25,111
But I need you for moral
support, because we're telling
168
00:07:25,194 --> 00:07:28,698
them that um...
169
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,950
- You're pregnant?
- Yeah!
170
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:33,369
You're pregnant! Oh my God!
171
00:07:33,452 --> 00:07:36,456
Oh my gosh! Is it a girl?
Is it a boy? Do you know?
172
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:38,434
We're not finding out,
just as long as it's healthy.
173
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:40,334
Of course, of course!
174
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:42,295
Oh my gosh, this is the best news!
175
00:07:42,378 --> 00:07:45,923
Thank you! Just, please come
to dinner with me and Dave.
176
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:48,509
I mean, yeah, he's cooking,
but don't be scared, okay?
177
00:07:48,593 --> 00:07:50,673
I'm still traumatized
from the last time he cooked!
178
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,264
No, I'm gonna be fine.
I'm gonna order Chinese food,
179
00:07:53,347 --> 00:07:55,975
I'll decorate my tree,
and start new Nell traditions.
180
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:00,938
I'm gonna be fine, I've got
a laundry list of things to do.
181
00:08:25,463 --> 00:08:27,423
- Hello?
- Jade Garden with your order.
182
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,091
I'll be right down.
183
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,411
I just don't understand
why you can't go skiing
184
00:08:39,435 --> 00:08:42,313
- some other time!
- Dad, we've been through this.
185
00:08:42,396 --> 00:08:44,106
But you're gonna miss the craft fair,
186
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:45,524
and our holiday party.
187
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:47,443
Look, I will see you before I go,
188
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,112
take you and Mom out
for a nice lunch or something.
189
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:52,198
Or, we could all watch Rudolph
190
00:08:52,281 --> 00:08:54,283
and eat gingerbread in matching pj's!
191
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,969
Come on! It's your
favorite Christmas movie!
192
00:08:55,993 --> 00:08:57,787
Circle back on that,
193
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,413
I, I gotta focus on packing, okay?
194
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:00,998
Alright! Love you.
195
00:09:01,082 --> 00:09:02,875
I love you too, bye.
196
00:09:04,043 --> 00:09:05,044
Ohh.
197
00:09:12,051 --> 00:09:13,851
To my favorite customer.
198
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:15,846
You say that to all of your customers!
199
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:17,890
I do, it's true, but I don't put extra
200
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:20,351
- fortune cookies in for everyone.
- Whaaat?
201
00:09:20,434 --> 00:09:22,436
They better be the
winning lotto numbers!
202
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,938
They are. Just in the wrong order!
203
00:09:24,021 --> 00:09:25,898
See you later!
204
00:09:25,982 --> 00:09:27,650
Have a good night!
205
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:49,297
Whew! It's so cold out.
206
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:52,383
Yeah, yeah, still pretty cold.
207
00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:55,177
Well, thanks again!
208
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,096
Not a problem.
209
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,860
Okay honey, bye.
210
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:14,989
Um, so our super's out of town,
but I left a message for Julia
211
00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:17,867
and hopefully she'll get the
message soon, so I'll just,
212
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:19,785
thank you, go wait over there.
213
00:10:19,869 --> 00:10:23,789
In the hall? No! It's cool,
just wait here for her.
214
00:10:23,873 --> 00:10:27,501
Sure. Well, my Chinese food's
getting cold, so um,
215
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:30,296
can I repay your generosity
with egg rolls?
216
00:10:30,379 --> 00:10:32,423
Well, actually, I'm,
I'm doing keto right now,
217
00:10:32,506 --> 00:10:36,093
everyone in my office is really like, keto.
218
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:38,095
So...
219
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:41,057
But hey, it's a holiday, so sure.
220
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,476
Okay! Speaking of holidays,
221
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,144
what's your embargo on decorating?
222
00:10:45,227 --> 00:10:47,438
Oh, no embargo. Just uh,
223
00:10:47,521 --> 00:10:48,981
I haven't got around to decorating.
224
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:50,983
- Oh.
- Mm.
225
00:10:51,067 --> 00:10:53,653
If you're in the market,
I do know a lot of local artists
226
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:56,197
who make beautiful holiday crafts.
227
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,783
Yeah um, I'm not gonna really need it
228
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:00,534
cause I'm gonna be away for Christmas.
229
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:04,622
Ah, Aspen trip. Sounds fancy.
230
00:11:04,705 --> 00:11:06,957
Well, fancy's kind of in my line of work.
231
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,087
What do you do?
232
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:13,673
I'm an analyst for a hedge fund.
233
00:11:13,756 --> 00:11:16,175
And if I'm a good boy,
one day I'll be a manager,
234
00:11:16,258 --> 00:11:17,843
what do you do?
235
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:19,845
Oh um, I work in endowments
236
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:22,223
for the Chicago Riverfront University.
237
00:11:22,306 --> 00:11:23,682
And I'm on the scholarship team,
238
00:11:23,766 --> 00:11:26,185
I help raise money and award funds.
239
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:27,520
Cool.
240
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:31,524
You like it?
241
00:11:31,607 --> 00:11:33,734
I do, it's my dream job.
242
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:35,986
It's a combo of academia
and philanthropy
243
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:37,321
and throwing parties.
244
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:49,500
You want a cookie?
245
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:51,751
Sure.
246
00:11:56,966 --> 00:12:00,970
Confucius says,
"A great adventure awaits you."
247
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:02,513
Hmm.
248
00:12:05,766 --> 00:12:07,351
Mine's blank!
249
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,703
Well, maybe the cookie's telling you
250
00:12:08,727 --> 00:12:10,062
to write your own fortune.
251
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:16,944
Here we go. This one says,
252
00:12:17,027 --> 00:12:19,739
"Your last fortune will come true."
253
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:24,618
You look really disappointed.
254
00:12:25,494 --> 00:12:27,788
What did you want
your cookie to for tell?
255
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:29,999
Oh, "The love you seek
is closer than you think."
256
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:34,128
Oh. Okay so, you seek love.
257
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,088
Forget it! I'm just
having a really bad day.
258
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,340
Have an egg roll.
259
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:40,342
- You wanna talk about it?
- About the egg roll?
260
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:42,219
What? No! About your bad day.
261
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:44,889
Oh.
262
00:12:44,972 --> 00:12:47,391
My family had to cancel
their plans here, and I just,
263
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:49,351
I spent a really long time curating like,
264
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,103
the perfect holiday for them,
265
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:52,998
and now I have to cancel
everything and eat the costs.
266
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:54,482
Why?
267
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:56,626
Well, cause most of the things
I booked are non-refundable.
268
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:58,819
- No, no, no.
- Why do you have to cancel?
269
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:02,573
Because I'm obviously
gonna go home to Cleveland
270
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:04,909
for the holidays, be with my family.
271
00:13:04,992 --> 00:13:06,994
But, why wouldn't you just have your
272
00:13:07,077 --> 00:13:08,370
perfect week here as planned?
273
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:11,957
Because I don't wanna be
alone on Christmas.
274
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:13,417
Have an egg roll.
275
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:15,562
But when you're alone, you get
to eat all the egg rolls!
276
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:18,672
Well, I would rather eat half an egg roll,
277
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,156
and be with the people that I love.
278
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:21,342
No, I hear that, I do.
279
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,469
But I believe that we have slots in life.
280
00:13:23,552 --> 00:13:25,054
What are you talking about?
281
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:27,681
You know, like places where we belong.
282
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:29,645
Now, you could go
with your family in Cleveland,
283
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:32,770
or you could stay here,
and have your perfect Christmas.
284
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:34,355
With yourself.
285
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:39,777
Coming. You know what?
286
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:42,863
Finish the leftovers, thank you!
287
00:13:42,947 --> 00:13:44,448
Yeah.
288
00:13:45,950 --> 00:13:48,452
Okay great.
289
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:54,208
Hmm, interesting.
290
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:57,419
- What are you doing?
- I'm unpacking.
291
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,231
You're unpacking, you,
you're not going to Cleveland?
292
00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:00,714
I'm not gonna go to Cleveland.
293
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,943
Okay, I don't like the idea
of you here all by yourself.
294
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,553
- But I am by myself.
- I live alone, I'm always alone.
295
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:07,555
Why is being alone
at Christmas any different?
296
00:14:07,638 --> 00:14:09,181
Okay, what are you saying?
297
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:11,225
I mean, Cooper said something.
298
00:14:11,308 --> 00:14:13,143
He, he was talking about,
like, slots in life.
299
00:14:13,227 --> 00:14:15,896
And, I think that's what
I've been experiencing lately.
300
00:14:15,980 --> 00:14:18,315
I don't follow, but okay, continue.
301
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,943
Earlier, I was looking at a
childhood Christmas photo album.
302
00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:25,114
And I think that I was realizing
that like, when I'm a kid,
303
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:26,991
my slot in life was with my family, right?
304
00:14:27,074 --> 00:14:28,844
And then when you get older,
it's with your partner,
305
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:30,119
and then with your kids.
306
00:14:32,496 --> 00:14:35,165
And then I was thinking,
307
00:14:35,249 --> 00:14:37,668
maybe those people are just
stuck in singles land
308
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:39,837
because they're waiting for
one day to meet the like
309
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,257
perfect person, and then
their real life will begin.
310
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:45,718
Aw, Nell, is... is that what you think?
311
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:48,429
I think I used to, but I don't anymore.
312
00:14:48,512 --> 00:14:50,347
I'm letting go of that fantasy!
313
00:14:50,431 --> 00:14:51,724
Okay, what does that even mean?
314
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:55,519
Why should I cancel my
perfectly curated Christmas,
315
00:14:55,603 --> 00:14:57,163
just because I would be doing it alone?
316
00:14:58,147 --> 00:14:59,857
I, I guess you shouldn't?
317
00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:02,651
Right, like, isn't it okay
to just be by myself?
318
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,335
That is totally okay to be by yourself!
319
00:15:04,361 --> 00:15:05,654
- Right?
- Yeah!
320
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,823
So that's what I'm gonna do!
321
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:10,993
I am going to celebrate my dream holiday
322
00:15:11,076 --> 00:15:12,411
and I'm gonna enjoy it. Alone!
323
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:14,413
- Yeah!
- All by myself!
324
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:16,665
I'm gonna be single on the 25th.
325
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,417
And I'm gonna love it!
326
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:22,421
Are you sure I can't send you
a ticket to Cleveland?
327
00:15:22,504 --> 00:15:25,841
No, I'm fine. I have a week
packed with holiday fun.
328
00:15:25,924 --> 00:15:29,595
Starting with a carriage ride
today, but first
329
00:15:29,678 --> 00:15:32,306
a Christmas gift of service for a friend
330
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:33,599
in need of help decorating.
331
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,684
Ooh. Who's it for?
332
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,495
My neighbor. Actually,
I should probably catch him
333
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:40,230
before he heads to his trip.
I-I-I'll be right back.
334
00:15:40,314 --> 00:15:41,941
Oh, oh um, one thing.
335
00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:44,026
Uncle Eli just sent you a Christmas gift,
336
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:46,236
and it should arrive today,
so keep an eye out. Okay?
337
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,571
Okay, tell him thank you!
338
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:49,156
Bye - Bye, Mom!
339
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:55,955
- Hi!
- Hi!
340
00:15:56,038 --> 00:15:58,457
I just wanted to give you
this, as a thank you
341
00:15:58,540 --> 00:16:00,352
for last night. Plus, you said
you didn't have any decor.
342
00:16:00,376 --> 00:16:03,170
Oh, the way I said it made
it seem like I wanted some?
343
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:07,633
- Was that a thank you?
- Yes, yes, thank you.
344
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:10,761
Also, I want you to know,
I took your advice,
345
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:13,931
and I am going to embrace my slot in life.
346
00:16:14,014 --> 00:16:16,058
Cause I'm okay by myself!
347
00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:17,661
"To be alone is the best of company,"
348
00:16:17,685 --> 00:16:18,769
that's my life's motto.
349
00:16:21,063 --> 00:16:22,856
Oh, but I gotta head to work!
350
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:25,043
- Oh yeah, yeah. No, totally.
- Me too, I gotta go to work.
351
00:16:25,067 --> 00:16:26,402
Actually, I cancelled work,
352
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:27,820
my family was coming to town,
353
00:16:27,903 --> 00:16:29,506
but then they cancelled.
Anyway, okay, cool.
354
00:16:29,530 --> 00:16:31,532
- Thanks for that.
- Okay, bye!
355
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:56,974
Have a nice day.
356
00:16:57,057 --> 00:16:59,768
- Hey!
- Oh! Morning, Nell! Usual?
357
00:16:59,852 --> 00:17:02,438
- Yes, please and thank you!
- Large peppermint mocha.
358
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,399
So, is your family already in?
359
00:17:05,482 --> 00:17:08,193
- No, change of plans.
- I'm flying solo this Christmas.
360
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:09,778
- Oh no!
- No, no, no, no,
361
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,781
it's gonna be okay, it's gonna
be a Venn diagram of holiday fun
362
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:14,408
meets aspirational self-growth.
363
00:17:14,491 --> 00:17:16,118
- Sounds complex.
- No, it's simple.
364
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:17,661
- Okay.
- I even wrote myself
365
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,913
a little holiday card,
with self-care instructions!
366
00:17:19,997 --> 00:17:21,665
Oh, this I gotta see! C'mon, c'mon!
367
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:25,169
Number one: Be the star
on my own tree.
368
00:17:25,252 --> 00:17:26,503
- Mm-hmm!
- Number two:
369
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:29,006
Deck the halls the way I like.
370
00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:31,383
And number three: Egg nog all day!
371
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:32,926
I love this for you.
372
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:36,764
Yeah, it's gonna be a
Christmas just the way I want.
373
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:39,266
Yeah, I'm gonna bake
gingerbread in my pajamas
374
00:17:39,349 --> 00:17:41,059
with the thermostat
cranked all the way up!
375
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:42,394
Get wild, girl!
376
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:51,278
Coop, my man! Did you catch
the game last night?
377
00:17:51,361 --> 00:17:53,155
Yeah. Yeah, we killed 'em.
378
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:55,616
Absolutely insane!
379
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:57,868
Oh, Code Red, boss incoming!
380
00:17:57,951 --> 00:17:59,286
Yes, good morning, boss!
381
00:17:59,369 --> 00:18:00,788
Morning, Melanie!
382
00:18:00,871 --> 00:18:03,123
So, we just signed the Lindts.
383
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:04,833
Our biggest client yet.
384
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:06,210
That, that's fantastic!
385
00:18:06,293 --> 00:18:07,711
Huzzah for us!
386
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:09,630
And previous to this,
387
00:18:09,713 --> 00:18:11,553
we planned on doing an
internal holiday dinner,
388
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:13,050
but now we're thinking something
389
00:18:13,133 --> 00:18:14,301
outward facing for clients.
390
00:18:14,384 --> 00:18:16,386
- Yup, makes total sense!
- Makes total sense!
391
00:18:16,470 --> 00:18:17,930
And I need a point person on it.
392
00:18:18,013 --> 00:18:21,308
You know what? I'd love to help, but no,
393
00:18:21,391 --> 00:18:23,602
unfortunately I am gonna be
in Aspen... ah!
394
00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:25,395
Okay. Then Cooper,
you're on the project.
395
00:18:25,479 --> 00:18:27,332
- We uh, are actually get...
- Hire a party planner,
396
00:18:27,356 --> 00:18:28,941
farm it out, whatever.
397
00:18:29,024 --> 00:18:31,693
Just get it done right,
and be there to oversee it.
398
00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:33,445
- Yes boss.
- And Thomas.
399
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:36,156
- Yeah?
- Have fun in Aspen!
400
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,574
I'll try!
401
00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:43,914
Oh man, I'll make it up to you!
402
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:51,505
Woo!
403
00:19:47,936 --> 00:19:49,396
Your package got delivered to me.
404
00:19:49,479 --> 00:19:51,815
Oh, it must be my Christmas
gift from Uncle Eli.
405
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:54,693
Oh wow. Smells good in there!
406
00:19:54,776 --> 00:19:56,945
Oh, thanks. I'm baking
gingerbread cookies.
407
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,072
Did you wanna come in?
408
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:01,909
Uh sure, thanks.
409
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:05,537
Yeah, I do love a good
gingerbread. Plus, I completely
410
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:08,290
- fell off the keto wagon.
- Hm.
411
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:11,126
Wow, decorations look great!
412
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:14,212
Oh, thanks. I have, I have
extra of everything
413
00:20:14,296 --> 00:20:15,815
if you want anything
to help your apartment's
414
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:17,799
oh, you're going to Aspen, of course.
415
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:21,803
- Uh, no actually, not anymore.
- Work thing came up.
416
00:20:21,887 --> 00:20:23,513
Sorry.
417
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:27,267
Ah, it is what it is, it's
gonna be fine. Just, just fine.
418
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:29,561
- Okay.
- Yeah.
419
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:35,525
Oh, that, this is great
gingerbread. Mmm!
420
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:37,569
So how's it going,
being in the best of company?
421
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:39,988
Amazing! Fantastic, yes.
422
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,199
- Yeah?
- Yes. Although,
423
00:20:42,282 --> 00:20:45,786
I have realized that some
Christmas activities
424
00:20:45,869 --> 00:20:49,248
have an inherent romantic component.
425
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:50,958
Like what?
426
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:53,293
Like, baking gingerbread cookies.
427
00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:55,504
I'm pretty sure people bake alone.
428
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,506
Well yeah, that's true.
429
00:20:57,589 --> 00:20:59,967
But, you know, you can't
accidentally reach
430
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:01,551
for the rolling pin at the same time
431
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:03,821
and graze each other's hands,
or sprinkle flour in the air
432
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:06,139
and maybe it gets on your nose
and then laugh, and then...
433
00:21:06,223 --> 00:21:08,433
You know, there are
advantages to being alone.
434
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:10,560
Yeah, absolutely. You know?
435
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:14,439
I can turn my thermostat up
all the way, as high as I want,
436
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:16,984
and I can dance to my favorite
carol on repeat!
437
00:21:17,067 --> 00:21:18,652
Not that I was doing that, or anything!
438
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:20,320
Uh-huh.
439
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:22,614
And, I get to prove to everyone
440
00:21:22,698 --> 00:21:25,784
that I am totally okay on my own!
441
00:21:27,577 --> 00:21:29,121
What is it?
442
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:30,789
It's a self-help book about love.
443
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:32,541
Use it as kindling.
444
00:21:32,624 --> 00:21:35,419
They are fairy tales, sold to
push a Prince Charming fantasy.
445
00:21:35,502 --> 00:21:38,672
I don't have a Prince Charming fantasy!
446
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:41,883
My carriage is here!
447
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:45,470
Carriage? And there it is!
448
00:21:45,554 --> 00:21:48,724
So every year, I see these
very beautifully decorated
449
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:52,477
Christmas carriages, and I'm
like, that looks so magical,
450
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:54,604
so I booked one for our family.
451
00:21:56,898 --> 00:22:02,195
Oh. I didn't realize
it would look so romantic.
452
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:03,905
Well maybe you should call a friend.
453
00:22:03,989 --> 00:22:06,908
Oh, I tried that, everyone's
busy or with their own families.
454
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:11,955
Okay, well, no. This is gonna be
great. Okay, yeah!
455
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,249
It's gonna be wonderful,
I'm gonna love this!
456
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,667
- Yeah.
- Hey, guys!
457
00:22:15,751 --> 00:22:17,544
- Hi!
- You two ready to ride?
458
00:22:17,627 --> 00:22:19,337
- Oh it's just me!
- Oh, it's just her!
459
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:20,881
Just you?
460
00:22:21,631 --> 00:22:24,926
Okay well, inside
you'll find some champagne,
461
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,888
some cozy blankets and pillows,
462
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:31,391
and well, there's the mistletoe
bell. When you ring that,
463
00:22:31,475 --> 00:22:35,020
uh, I'll stop so you can uh,
464
00:22:35,103 --> 00:22:37,272
I don't know
465
00:22:37,355 --> 00:22:40,525
take in the sights or something, right?
466
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,822
Tk tk tk tk.
467
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:50,410
I mean, look at you!
468
00:22:50,494 --> 00:22:51,953
Taking in the Christmas magic!
469
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:54,122
That's me, Christmas magic,
left and right!
470
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,291
- Alright, I'll see ya.
- Okay.
471
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:58,251
- Have a good night!
- Okay, see ya!
472
00:23:00,087 --> 00:23:01,546
My gosh!
473
00:23:04,091 --> 00:23:06,968
- Oh uh, you again!
- Still me.
474
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,720
You know, for what it's worth,
475
00:23:08,804 --> 00:23:10,597
I think what you're doing is cool.
476
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,058
You're having the Christmas you want!
477
00:23:13,141 --> 00:23:15,477
You're not wasting your life
in standby for romance mode,
478
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,840
waiting for somebody to be with.
479
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:19,689
Right.
480
00:23:20,607 --> 00:23:22,984
Just your shortest route, thanks!
481
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:28,740
Oh, my God...
482
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:47,467
Hi!
483
00:23:47,551 --> 00:23:49,719
Hey! How was the carriage ride?
484
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:52,514
Uh, it was bucket list material!
485
00:23:52,597 --> 00:23:53,807
Uh-huh.
486
00:23:53,890 --> 00:23:55,851
How did the baby news go?
487
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:57,978
Oh, they laughed,
they cried, they kvelled!?
488
00:23:58,061 --> 00:23:59,521
It was really sweet.
489
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:01,231
Wait... are you sure you're doing okay?
490
00:24:01,314 --> 00:24:04,484
Oh yeah! Yeah, no,
I'm living my best life. Yeah.
491
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:06,778
Alright. But, if you want the company,
492
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:08,363
there is a single support group
493
00:24:08,446 --> 00:24:09,906
at the Lakedale Community Center.
494
00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:11,741
Well, that seems silly!
495
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:13,585
It's not like I need
support for the tragedy
496
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:15,162
that is my unpartnered life!
497
00:24:15,245 --> 00:24:16,830
Besides, I'm super busy.
498
00:24:16,913 --> 00:24:19,291
Yeah, in fact, I should
probably go right now,
499
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:20,584
I've got things to do, okay?
500
00:24:20,667 --> 00:24:22,544
- I'll call you later, bye!
- Love you, girl!
501
00:24:29,593 --> 00:24:31,219
- Thanks, Mom.
- Fits you so well!
502
00:24:31,303 --> 00:24:32,780
- Thanks, Mom!
- Ah, doesn't he look good?
503
00:24:32,804 --> 00:24:34,764
Of course, yes, he does.
504
00:24:35,473 --> 00:24:37,851
Nell? Hi!
505
00:24:37,934 --> 00:24:39,811
Hi! Oh!
506
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:42,355
- Uh, this is my mom, Chloe.
- Hi!
507
00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:44,232
- And my dad, Mike.
- Hi.
508
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:45,692
Nell is my neighbor.
509
00:24:45,775 --> 00:24:47,235
Oh, hi!
510
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:49,422
- Oh gosh, this is beautiful.
- Is this a lace stitch?
511
00:24:49,446 --> 00:24:50,947
Yes?
512
00:24:51,031 --> 00:24:52,031
Do you knit?
513
00:24:52,073 --> 00:24:53,384
Oh, I dabble. My aunt taught me.
514
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:54,951
Well, Chloe is the ultimate knitter.
515
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:56,536
- Hmm.
- In fact, she has a booth
516
00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:58,580
at the holiday crafts market,
you should come.
517
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:00,141
Obviously, my husband
does my marketing!
518
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,125
Mike and Chloe?
519
00:25:02,209 --> 00:25:03,293
- Yup.
- Ah, perfect!
520
00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,086
- Nice to meet you!
- Nice to meet you!
521
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,838
- Nice to meet you!
- Nice to meet you!
522
00:25:06,922 --> 00:25:08,757
- Oh. Here, Mom.
- Oh, this looks good!
523
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,383
- I'll be over in a second.
- Sure.
524
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:11,801
Yeah.
525
00:25:11,885 --> 00:25:13,925
Since when do you take
cream in your coffee?
526
00:25:14,888 --> 00:25:16,223
- Hi.
- Hi.
527
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:18,016
Your parents are very sweet.
528
00:25:18,099 --> 00:25:20,060
- Yeah, they are.
- It must skip a generation.
529
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:23,396
No, you are sweeter than you let on.
530
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,148
I've witnessed it.
531
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:27,567
You off to work?
532
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:29,903
Yeah, full day of work and then uh,
533
00:25:29,986 --> 00:25:31,613
got my company's holiday party to plan.
534
00:25:31,696 --> 00:25:33,406
That's why I had to skip Aspen.
535
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:36,409
Oh no! Although I guess,
that's for a good reason.
536
00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:37,786
Holiday celebration.
537
00:25:37,869 --> 00:25:42,040
Hey, you said that you do
a lot of event planning,
538
00:25:42,123 --> 00:25:45,669
and I'm wondering if you have
the number for a good
539
00:25:45,752 --> 00:25:47,170
last-minute party planner.
540
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,131
Oh well, that tends to be me.
541
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:52,759
Ah! Okay.
542
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:55,679
So uh, what are you,
what are you up to today?
543
00:25:55,762 --> 00:25:58,640
I uh, I think I'm gonna do a photo shoot
544
00:25:58,723 --> 00:25:59,975
for a Christmas card.
545
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:02,310
Oh, my, my parents love those.
546
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:04,437
So do mine, I, I got it for them as a gift,
547
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:06,398
for their card next year, and I don't know,
548
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:08,292
I was gonna cancel it,
and then I thought about those
549
00:26:08,316 --> 00:26:09,567
ironic single people cards.
550
00:26:09,651 --> 00:26:11,695
Oh yeah. Yeah, like someone
looking depressed,
551
00:26:11,778 --> 00:26:14,489
guzzling a bottle of wine with
the caption "Holiday Spirits."
552
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,333
Exactly! Except, I'm gonna do
the opposite,
553
00:26:16,366 --> 00:26:18,952
it's just gonna be happy me on the card.
554
00:26:19,035 --> 00:26:20,578
Way to break the mold!
555
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:22,782
I got the deluxe package
with the multiple sittings,
556
00:26:22,831 --> 00:26:25,000
if you need a Christmas card,
you can come,
557
00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:26,602
it's at Timeless Frames at six!
558
00:26:26,626 --> 00:26:29,838
You know what I think? I think
you find it hard to be alone.
559
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:33,383
- Hey! No, no, don't pity me!
- I am having the time of my life!
560
00:26:33,466 --> 00:26:35,343
I can tell!
561
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,804
By the way, I noticed you
haven't hung up my wreath yet!
562
00:26:37,887 --> 00:26:39,431
Well, you gifted it to me,
563
00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:41,599
so I think that makes it my wreath!
564
00:26:41,683 --> 00:26:43,059
Hmm.
565
00:26:47,063 --> 00:26:49,357
Hi! I am looking for a party planner
566
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:52,193
for a work party on the 23rd.
567
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:54,404
December 23rd, yeah, five days away.
568
00:26:55,739 --> 00:26:59,242
I... I gather that's not
supportive laughter right there!
569
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:03,413
Listen, I, I just.
570
00:27:03,496 --> 00:27:05,498
- And they hung up!
- How's it going?
571
00:27:05,582 --> 00:27:08,626
Oh! Perfect. Great, couldn't be better.
572
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:11,963
I have no doubt. And Cooper,
from my family to yours!
573
00:27:12,047 --> 00:27:14,215
Thank you, boss!
574
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:31,316
Great. Oh, hi!
575
00:27:31,399 --> 00:27:33,943
I'll be right with you
in one moment, okay?
576
00:27:34,027 --> 00:27:36,821
Yeah, keep the reindeer vibe alive!
577
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:38,406
- Hey!
- Oh, you came!
578
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:40,384
Oh yeah, I realized I could
use a Christmas card
579
00:27:40,408 --> 00:27:42,243
to send to clients next year.
580
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,663
And uh, well nothing says good
business relationships
581
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:48,041
like that antler headband
thing she's wearing, so.
582
00:27:48,124 --> 00:27:50,001
Mm-hmm.
583
00:27:50,085 --> 00:27:52,063
You're not here because
you feel bad for me, are you?
584
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:54,673
No! No, I'm here because
us single people,
585
00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:56,591
we need to stick together!
586
00:27:56,674 --> 00:28:02,180
Plus, I think your solo
Christmas card is a great idea.
587
00:28:02,263 --> 00:28:05,350
Challenge the narrative. Fight the Man.
588
00:28:05,433 --> 00:28:07,185
- The snowman!
- Yeah!
589
00:28:07,268 --> 00:28:09,854
No, I agree. Cause when men are single,
590
00:28:09,938 --> 00:28:12,649
it's looked like a choice,
and when women are single,
591
00:28:12,732 --> 00:28:14,234
it seems like a character defect.
592
00:28:14,317 --> 00:28:17,737
That's some
Pride and Prejudice right there!
593
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,281
You know, when Elizabeth Bennett
rejects Mr. Darcy,
594
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:23,660
refusing to be grateful
for his condescending love.
595
00:28:23,743 --> 00:28:25,471
I didn't know you liked
Pride and Prejudice!
596
00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:27,622
The onion that is Cooper
keeps getting peeled.
597
00:28:27,705 --> 00:28:30,625
Thank so much!
Happy Ho Ho Ho!
598
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:33,044
Alright. I am ready for you two.
599
00:28:33,128 --> 00:28:34,754
Oh, we're not a two.
600
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:36,714
- No.
- We're a, we're a one,
601
00:28:36,798 --> 00:28:39,092
- uh, two ones.
- Ones.
602
00:28:39,175 --> 00:28:41,886
- Separate packages.
- Right.
603
00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:43,763
Okay then, who's first? Got it.
604
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:45,306
Please, show me how it's done!
605
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,016
- I'm up first.
- Great!
606
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:58,570
Um, maybe less job interview, and more
607
00:28:58,653 --> 00:28:59,693
happiest time of the year?
608
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:00,864
That's the same for him!
609
00:29:00,947 --> 00:29:02,532
Good one. Hilarious!
610
00:29:04,033 --> 00:29:06,286
Oh, there's a smile! That is it.
611
00:29:06,369 --> 00:29:08,037
I think, I think we got it!
612
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,832
Um, do you guys want one together?
613
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:13,168
Uh, that's totally up to you!
614
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:15,003
Yeah, you want one together!
615
00:29:15,086 --> 00:29:16,566
You'll be happy you did it, let's go!
616
00:29:16,629 --> 00:29:19,632
Okay, it's gonna be painless, I promise!
617
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:23,094
Maybe loosen it up a little bit?
618
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:26,181
Oh dear, that's the opposite
of loosen. Okay, could you try
619
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:27,891
acting like you know each other?
620
00:29:27,974 --> 00:29:30,310
And, could you look at his eyes?
621
00:29:30,393 --> 00:29:33,730
Just, okay. Mmm,
622
00:29:33,813 --> 00:29:36,775
oooh! Yeah, uh-huh! Oh, that's a smile!
623
00:29:36,858 --> 00:29:38,485
Yeah, you can touch him, that's alright.
624
00:29:38,568 --> 00:29:39,861
Yeah, I think that'll work.
625
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:41,154
- Now, you alone!
- Right.
626
00:29:41,237 --> 00:29:42,989
- Right.
- Okay.
627
00:29:44,657 --> 00:29:47,368
Sorry, I'm not very good
in front of the camera.
628
00:29:47,452 --> 00:29:48,536
- Oh.
- Oh, come on!
629
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:49,829
You know you're gorgeous.
630
00:29:51,289 --> 00:29:52,332
What he said!
631
00:29:52,415 --> 00:29:55,001
There's a smile!
632
00:29:55,084 --> 00:29:56,628
Oh, you are so gorgeous,
633
00:29:56,711 --> 00:29:57,879
I love it.
634
00:29:58,505 --> 00:29:59,923
It's perfect!
635
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:01,966
Okay, just give me a second
to do a little mockup.
636
00:30:04,135 --> 00:30:05,720
Alright!
637
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,806
And what do you think of that?
638
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:10,975
What's wrong?
639
00:30:11,059 --> 00:30:12,769
Um
640
00:30:12,852 --> 00:30:13,937
Just,
641
00:30:14,020 --> 00:30:15,980
it just looks lonely.
642
00:30:16,064 --> 00:30:17,774
Wha?
643
00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:20,902
I mean, I, I could add
some graphics to fill it out.
644
00:30:20,985 --> 00:30:22,779
Or you could just take the photo again.
645
00:30:22,862 --> 00:30:25,949
No, no. It's just a picture of me alone.
646
00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:28,451
- Um.
- That's uh,
647
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:29,661
kind of the point, right?
648
00:30:30,578 --> 00:30:31,764
Uh, how long until they're ready?
649
00:30:31,788 --> 00:30:34,040
A couple of days and I can send it to you.
650
00:30:34,123 --> 00:30:35,708
Okay. Thank you.
651
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:37,252
Yeah, thank you.
652
00:31:42,066 --> 00:31:42,984
Happiest of holidays
653
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,694
from AB Knightsford.
654
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:47,530
Your call is important to us,
please remain on the line.
655
00:31:47,614 --> 00:31:49,616
Thank you.
656
00:31:55,204 --> 00:31:56,748
Hey, watch ya doing?
657
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:59,375
Hey! I'm just hanging my wreath, finally.
658
00:31:59,459 --> 00:32:00,919
- Ohhh!
- What are you doing?
659
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:02,545
Uh, I'm calling AB Knightsford,
660
00:32:02,629 --> 00:32:04,732
I have a reservation for tonight
I have to cancel, and I'm hoping
661
00:32:04,756 --> 00:32:07,133
they give me a refund.
I had to put a credit card down.
662
00:32:07,216 --> 00:32:09,552
Why would you cancel?
663
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:11,071
Heard it's the best meal in Chicago,
664
00:32:11,095 --> 00:32:12,722
especially their holiday prix fixe.
665
00:32:12,805 --> 00:32:15,200
I know, right? It took me like
a decade to get a reservation,
666
00:32:15,224 --> 00:32:16,684
but you know, it's a lot of cash
667
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:17,935
to drop just by myself.
668
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:19,288
AB Knightsford.
669
00:32:19,312 --> 00:32:20,897
- Oh!
- Hello?
670
00:32:20,980 --> 00:32:22,899
Yeah, hi! Um, I have
a reservation tonight
671
00:32:22,982 --> 00:32:25,193
for Nell, and I was hoping to cancel
672
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:27,153
and get a refund? No refunds.
673
00:32:28,905 --> 00:32:30,782
They're not known for their
customer service.
674
00:32:30,865 --> 00:32:33,326
I'm learning that, yeah.
675
00:32:33,409 --> 00:32:35,703
I guess I'll just eat the deposit.
676
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:37,330
Or you could just eat the meal.
677
00:32:37,413 --> 00:32:40,875
What if I went with you? With a caveat.
678
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,752
What's the caveat?
679
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,132
Hi, um, reservation under Nell Duke,
680
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:49,693
but it's just gonna be the two of us.
681
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,761
Actually, can I talk to you
for just a second?
682
00:32:51,844 --> 00:32:53,054
Mm-hmm.
683
00:32:58,309 --> 00:32:59,769
Thank you.
684
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,401
What a beautiful spot.
685
00:33:07,443 --> 00:33:09,821
Hey, what was that about?
686
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:13,533
I'm just guaranteeing
we get a good table.
687
00:33:13,616 --> 00:33:16,369
Never by the kitchen,
never by the bathroom.
688
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:18,830
Not in the corner.
689
00:33:18,913 --> 00:33:20,623
Thank you.
690
00:33:31,426 --> 00:33:35,263
- What's happening?
- We are eating alone.
691
00:33:35,972 --> 00:33:38,099
Alone, together?
692
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:41,686
Welcome to...
693
00:33:41,769 --> 00:33:43,187
Welcome to AB Knightsford.
694
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:45,523
Tonight, we'll be serving our
holiday prix fixe.
695
00:33:45,606 --> 00:33:47,400
I'll be back with fresh bread.
696
00:33:50,403 --> 00:33:53,156
Huh. Have you never eaten
alone before?
697
00:33:53,239 --> 00:33:56,659
No! I was saving that great
joy for Christmas Eve dinner.
698
00:33:56,743 --> 00:33:59,162
Now I get to do it
under your watchful eye!
699
00:33:59,245 --> 00:34:01,497
Well, I can offer my expertise.
700
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:03,791
Spent most of my
school life eating alone.
701
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,752
You, unpopular? I don't believe it.
702
00:34:05,835 --> 00:34:08,838
Believe it! I had
almost every school lunch alone.
703
00:34:08,921 --> 00:34:11,299
Sometimes, sitting in the corner,
704
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:12,759
all the way up until college.
705
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:14,218
But you just seem so cool!
706
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:17,013
This, this is a very
carefully cultivated coolness.
707
00:34:17,096 --> 00:34:18,556
- Hmmm.
- Guess I,
708
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:21,225
- always had trouble, uh.
- What?
709
00:34:21,309 --> 00:34:22,453
Being yourself around others?
710
00:34:22,477 --> 00:34:24,479
Exactly.
711
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:26,939
- Is it that obvious?
- No.
712
00:34:29,484 --> 00:34:32,070
Let me ask you a question.
713
00:34:32,153 --> 00:34:34,822
When have you felt most yourself?
714
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:38,910
When I was a kid,
715
00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:41,704
I had this polka CD.
716
00:34:41,788 --> 00:34:43,223
It was these four guys in pinstripe suits,
717
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:47,668
and they would play covers
of modern songs.
718
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:51,088
And they were terrible!
719
00:34:51,172 --> 00:34:53,216
Really bad, but I loved it!
720
00:34:53,299 --> 00:34:55,676
But you felt like yourself!
721
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,400
Yeah. And I would come home
from school,
722
00:34:57,428 --> 00:35:00,848
from a day of hiding and trying to fit in.
723
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:05,520
And I would go to my room
and put on that polka music,
724
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:08,022
full blast and just shake off the day!
725
00:35:09,857 --> 00:35:11,526
Yeah, I know that feeling.
726
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:15,530
My parents, they fell in love
at 19, they had these epic
727
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:19,367
love stories, and I, of course,
got a full ride to college,
728
00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:23,121
but then, all they could really see was
729
00:35:23,204 --> 00:35:25,123
that I'm, I'm still alone.
730
00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:28,251
Well, I hope that's not all you see.
731
00:35:28,334 --> 00:35:30,002
I try not to.
732
00:35:31,128 --> 00:35:32,213
But?
733
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,844
Tomorrow is my college mixer,
734
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:39,863
and everyone's gonna be coupled
and it's just gonna be
735
00:35:39,887 --> 00:35:41,264
a reminder of...
736
00:35:41,347 --> 00:35:42,932
May I take your drink orders?
737
00:35:43,015 --> 00:35:44,451
Yeah, I'll just have
some sparkling water, please.
738
00:35:44,475 --> 00:35:47,520
- Really, come on!
- This is your special dinner.
739
00:35:49,272 --> 00:35:51,691
I'll have, um, your best bubbly!
740
00:35:52,650 --> 00:35:56,654
And I will have your best glass of red.
741
00:35:56,737 --> 00:35:58,364
Thank you.
742
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:04,787
First rule of the Solo Supper Club:
743
00:36:04,871 --> 00:36:06,706
Don't stare at the couples.
744
00:36:06,789 --> 00:36:09,458
- Oh, okay.
- Second, no!
745
00:36:09,542 --> 00:36:11,294
Don't get your phone.
746
00:36:11,377 --> 00:36:13,462
That's the second rule,
no staring at your phone.
747
00:36:13,546 --> 00:36:17,425
And third, whoo.
748
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:19,719
Just relax. Look,
749
00:36:19,802 --> 00:36:22,763
I like to think of this as free theatre.
750
00:36:22,847 --> 00:36:25,808
There is something nice about
just being an observer.
751
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:29,687
But Nell, you're not just an observer.
752
00:36:29,770 --> 00:36:30,897
You're the main character.
753
00:36:34,692 --> 00:36:36,068
Thank you.
754
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:38,779
So, how is everything over here?
755
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:41,199
Do we have any
special occasion tonight?
756
00:36:42,575 --> 00:36:44,285
Do we?
757
00:36:44,368 --> 00:36:45,703
Yes, I do!
758
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,125
Hmm!
759
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:02,178
Hey, you wanna see something?
760
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:03,554
Uh, sure!
761
00:37:06,766 --> 00:37:08,100
Ooh!
762
00:37:08,184 --> 00:37:12,104
That's uh, it's for the
telescope, so we can see better.
763
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:14,190
Tonight is the solstice.
764
00:37:14,273 --> 00:37:15,691
Oh.
765
00:37:15,775 --> 00:37:18,110
Now, let me adjust.
766
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:22,865
Oh, perfect timing.
Okay, have a look in there.
767
00:37:22,949 --> 00:37:24,116
Okay.
768
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,994
And you can, you put your hand
here, to adjust,
769
00:37:27,078 --> 00:37:28,329
adjust if you need it.
770
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:34,669
And that is Venus,
771
00:37:34,752 --> 00:37:37,255
the Christmas star.
772
00:37:37,338 --> 00:37:38,589
Wow!
773
00:37:38,673 --> 00:37:40,484
The Greeks and the Romans
believed that Venus
774
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:42,885
was the heart of cosmic sympathy.
775
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:46,681
That everything is connected,
and influences everything else,
776
00:37:46,764 --> 00:37:50,017
like the cosmos is dictating our fate.
777
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:53,854
So they were like the
original fortune cookies.
778
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:56,148
What do they say?
779
00:37:56,232 --> 00:37:59,694
Well, they don't say your fortune is blank.
780
00:37:59,777 --> 00:38:03,322
They say you can write your own fortune.
781
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:05,574
If I still wanted to say
782
00:38:05,658 --> 00:38:07,368
the love you seek
is closer than you think?
783
00:38:08,369 --> 00:38:10,955
Then you have to remind
yourself that uh,
784
00:38:11,038 --> 00:38:13,874
it's not about finding
joy in Christmas alone,
785
00:38:13,958 --> 00:38:16,669
it's about finding joy in life alone.
786
00:38:18,295 --> 00:38:20,840
Look, I hear what you're saying. I just...
787
00:38:22,967 --> 00:38:24,927
I don't always know how to achieve it.
788
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:29,390
Yeah. Well, like the solstice reminds us,
789
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,517
it's always darkest before dawn.
790
00:38:34,854 --> 00:38:37,732
You know, I'm pretty good at being alone.
791
00:38:37,815 --> 00:38:39,275
Been doing it most of my life.
792
00:38:39,358 --> 00:38:41,527
Yeah, you're your
best company. I've heard it.
793
00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:44,322
Right. And so, I'm a wealth
of tips and tricks
794
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:47,950
on how to survive
in a world full of couples.
795
00:38:48,034 --> 00:38:51,996
You know, I'm completely open
to receiving your knowledge.
796
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:55,875
Good. Cause I have an idea.
797
00:38:55,958 --> 00:39:00,546
I was thinking that in exchange
for my teachings,
798
00:39:00,629 --> 00:39:02,691
- maybe you could help me...
- Plan your holiday party,
799
00:39:02,715 --> 00:39:03,715
for your work shindig?
800
00:39:04,592 --> 00:39:05,301
You read my mind!
801
00:39:05,384 --> 00:39:06,302
I would love to!
802
00:39:06,385 --> 00:39:08,012
Thanks!
803
00:39:09,722 --> 00:39:11,891
Is that a shooting star?
804
00:39:11,974 --> 00:39:14,351
Well, now you gotta make a wish!
805
00:39:30,242 --> 00:39:32,578
- Hey!
- Oh! Hi!
806
00:39:32,661 --> 00:39:34,914
I was looking at some
venues for your work party.
807
00:39:34,997 --> 00:39:38,209
Can we hold that thought for
a moment, while you follow me?
808
00:39:38,292 --> 00:39:39,710
Okay.
809
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:51,972
You were saying you felt
awkward flying solo
810
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:55,810
at holiday parties.
So, welcome to Cooper's...
811
00:39:55,893 --> 00:39:58,896
College Mixer Survival Bootcamp.
812
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:01,899
Wait, are you trying to teach
me how to be single
813
00:40:01,982 --> 00:40:03,651
at a party full of couples?
814
00:40:03,734 --> 00:40:06,821
- I'm gonna try.
- Uh.
815
00:40:06,904 --> 00:40:10,574
So. First tip, position
yourself somewhere where
816
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:13,119
you feel powerful, rather than adrift.
817
00:40:13,202 --> 00:40:15,621
And the bar works very well.
818
00:40:15,704 --> 00:40:17,623
- Okay.
- Cheers!
819
00:40:17,706 --> 00:40:19,792
- Cheers!
- Cheers, cheers!
820
00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:23,212
Okay, now follow me to the buffet!
821
00:40:23,295 --> 00:40:26,423
Now, the buffet, in the event of dreaded
822
00:40:26,507 --> 00:40:28,551
chit chat, your mouth is full.
823
00:40:28,634 --> 00:40:32,138
Wow, this paté looks wonderful!
824
00:40:32,221 --> 00:40:34,682
That's cat food... You have a cat?
825
00:40:34,765 --> 00:40:38,686
No. Speaking of dreaded chit chat...
826
00:40:38,769 --> 00:40:40,020
I want you to pretend
827
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,856
I am your most tactless college friend.
828
00:40:41,939 --> 00:40:43,524
Okay, say no more.
829
00:40:45,234 --> 00:40:48,070
Nell. You're still single.
830
00:40:48,154 --> 00:40:50,614
Why? Hmm?
831
00:40:51,365 --> 00:40:53,492
Hmmm.
832
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:55,536
Wait, wait, are you asking
as the pretend friend,
833
00:40:55,619 --> 00:40:57,037
or do you really want an answer?
834
00:40:57,121 --> 00:41:00,499
Oh, uh sure, yeah.
835
00:41:00,583 --> 00:41:02,501
I want the answer if you want to share.
836
00:41:02,585 --> 00:41:05,296
Oh, I guess I'm just kind
of a niche market!
837
00:41:05,379 --> 00:41:08,507
Or maybe like you, I also have
a hard time being myself
838
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:10,384
around others.
839
00:41:10,467 --> 00:41:11,844
Hmm.
840
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:13,929
Follow me.
841
00:41:14,763 --> 00:41:19,143
I have created holiday singles Bingo!
842
00:41:19,226 --> 00:41:20,519
- What?
- Yeah.
843
00:41:20,603 --> 00:41:24,064
- Wait, you made this?
- Well yeah, it's just
844
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:27,526
a bunch of my favorite
dating quotes and situations.
845
00:41:27,610 --> 00:41:29,945
"Have you tried online dating?" Ugh!
846
00:41:30,029 --> 00:41:32,781
"Bickering couple drags you
into their conversation!"
847
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,742
The center space here.
848
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:36,952
"You'll find someone
when you stop looking!"
849
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:39,121
If I had a dime!
850
00:41:39,205 --> 00:41:40,789
This is really sweet.
851
00:41:40,873 --> 00:41:44,084
Oh, it's just a lifetime of
wisdom collected being single.
852
00:41:45,461 --> 00:41:47,046
What's your key takeaway?
853
00:41:48,130 --> 00:41:51,926
That we will be okay on our own.
854
00:41:52,009 --> 00:41:55,304
That we are okay on our own.
855
00:41:58,849 --> 00:42:00,351
Oh.
856
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,521
Ah, my folks want me to stop
by the market.
857
00:42:03,604 --> 00:42:05,606
- Oh, small world!
- I was just gonna go there
858
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:07,250
to get holiday decorations for your party.
859
00:42:07,274 --> 00:42:09,044
- Do you want to go together?
- Yeah, let's do it.
860
00:42:09,068 --> 00:42:10,444
We'll pick this up later.
861
00:42:10,527 --> 00:42:11,527
- Yeah.
- Cool.
862
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:15,658
Okay, I think I found the
perfect venue for your party,
863
00:42:15,741 --> 00:42:17,284
it's a bank-themed bar.
864
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:18,869
- Bank-themed bar?
- Mm-hmm.
865
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:20,746
- Doesn't sound very charming.
- Oh, it is!
866
00:42:20,829 --> 00:42:22,831
It's warm, it has a ton of character.
867
00:42:22,915 --> 00:42:25,084
Uh, well usually, our parties are
868
00:42:25,167 --> 00:42:27,503
- here we go!
- Oh, thank you!
869
00:42:27,586 --> 00:42:30,965
Okay. Uh, our parties
870
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:33,592
are very bland and sterile,
designed to leave early.
871
00:42:33,676 --> 00:42:36,762
But you're not bland and
sterile, and this is your party.
872
00:42:36,845 --> 00:42:39,056
So let the people see who you are!
873
00:42:39,139 --> 00:42:40,307
And who's that?
874
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:42,101
Well it's not someone wearing a mask!
875
00:42:42,184 --> 00:42:43,769
- Hi!
- Merry Christmas!
876
00:42:43,852 --> 00:42:47,690
Someone kind and there to help others.
877
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:51,485
Let the party reflect you.
878
00:42:51,568 --> 00:42:53,248
Plus, I think you secretly love Christmas.
879
00:42:54,071 --> 00:42:56,448
Hey! Coop, my man!
880
00:42:56,532 --> 00:42:58,784
- Hey! Uh...
- Hey uh, who is this?
881
00:42:58,867 --> 00:43:00,452
This is Nell, my neighbor.
882
00:43:00,536 --> 00:43:01,896
This is Thomas, my work colleague.
883
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:04,193
Thought you left for Aspen, man.
884
00:43:05,165 --> 00:43:06,625
Nah, I cancelled it. You know,
885
00:43:06,709 --> 00:43:08,770
what's the point of the gold
standard if you're alone, right?
886
00:43:08,794 --> 00:43:10,421
- Huh.
- I'm, I'm cold,
887
00:43:10,504 --> 00:43:11,815
I'm gonna head in. Nice to meet you!
888
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:12,839
Yeah.
889
00:43:14,133 --> 00:43:16,427
- You two a thing?
- Oh!
890
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:18,220
No, no.
891
00:43:18,304 --> 00:43:19,555
Definitely not.
892
00:43:19,638 --> 00:43:22,308
She's just a lonely neighbor
having a tough time,
893
00:43:22,391 --> 00:43:23,726
so I'm trying to be supportive.
894
00:43:23,809 --> 00:43:25,936
Ahh, Coop with the heart
of gold, always performing
895
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:28,147
- the charitable act!
- Uhh...
896
00:43:28,230 --> 00:43:29,582
Well, I'll see you at the office.
897
00:43:29,606 --> 00:43:30,858
Yeah man.
898
00:43:33,652 --> 00:43:35,112
Yeah, oh yeah!
899
00:43:35,195 --> 00:43:36,947
He still is! Yeah, yeah!
900
00:43:37,031 --> 00:43:38,351
Speaking of, hey! Cooper!
901
00:43:38,407 --> 00:43:39,617
- Hey, hey!
- Hey!
902
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:41,118
- Hi!
- We were just inviting Nell
903
00:43:41,201 --> 00:43:42,887
- to our holiday dinner!
- Oh yeah, you did?
904
00:43:42,911 --> 00:43:44,955
No, no yeah. Tell her how much fun it is!
905
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,159
I do my best Santa impression,
he dresses like an elf!
906
00:43:48,584 --> 00:43:51,628
You should come! Yeah,
it's a fun-filled evening
907
00:43:51,712 --> 00:43:54,465
of family constantly grilling
me on why I'm still single!
908
00:43:54,548 --> 00:43:56,133
Those are my favorite parties!
909
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:57,819
I would love to come, I'll bake something.
910
00:43:57,843 --> 00:43:59,845
Oh, great! Listen, you two go do a loop,
911
00:43:59,928 --> 00:44:02,056
and report back
on my competition, okay?
912
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:07,728
I love them, they're great.
913
00:44:07,811 --> 00:44:09,980
You know what, it's really
nice to spend this time
914
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:12,149
with them over the holidays.
915
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:15,361
Feels like home.
916
00:44:15,444 --> 00:44:17,988
That's exactly the feeling
I want to bring to your party.
917
00:44:18,072 --> 00:44:20,491
That sense of comfort
and feeling of belonging.
918
00:44:20,574 --> 00:44:22,910
That sounds really nice,
919
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:25,621
but uh, probably
unachievable with my crowd.
920
00:44:25,704 --> 00:44:28,165
No, not at all! It'll be fun and inviting.
921
00:44:28,248 --> 00:44:29,958
We'll, we'll treat the guests like family,
922
00:44:30,042 --> 00:44:32,461
we just, we have to build in meaning.
923
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:35,130
What if we did like a, a fundraiser,
924
00:44:35,214 --> 00:44:38,467
where guests can donate
to a charity of our choice?
925
00:44:38,550 --> 00:44:40,094
That's perfect!
926
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:42,017
And maybe we could do
something a little fun.
927
00:44:42,096 --> 00:44:44,139
Like uh, I don't know,
928
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:46,850
like a build your own
gingerbread Wall Street,
929
00:44:46,934 --> 00:44:49,937
with candy trading floors
and little gum drop brokers!
930
00:44:50,020 --> 00:44:52,064
I knew you liked Christmas!
931
00:44:52,147 --> 00:44:53,690
No, no I don't.
932
00:44:53,774 --> 00:44:55,567
Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful!
933
00:44:55,651 --> 00:44:57,611
Well you should buy it for yourself.
934
00:44:58,779 --> 00:45:00,989
Oh my, is that the price,
or the year it was made?
935
00:45:01,073 --> 00:45:02,825
Oh, that's out of my budget!
936
00:45:02,908 --> 00:45:04,886
But imagine how good you'd
feel walking into your
937
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:06,245
mixer tonight wearing it.
938
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:08,914
I'm just gonna have to live
with imagining it!
939
00:45:08,997 --> 00:45:11,458
Hey, I know this goes
against your teachings,
940
00:45:11,542 --> 00:45:13,502
but do you want to come with me?
941
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:16,046
Give me real-time,
boots on the ground tips?
942
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:18,507
I'd love to!
943
00:45:30,477 --> 00:45:32,730
- Allow me.
- Thank you.
944
00:45:34,022 --> 00:45:35,733
Thank you.
945
00:45:37,192 --> 00:45:40,737
Alright. Put me in, Coach!
946
00:45:40,821 --> 00:45:42,156
- You got this!
- Yeah.
947
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,159
Just uh, don't hide in the corner!
948
00:45:45,242 --> 00:45:48,245
Don't leave early, and don't
think you don't belong.
949
00:45:48,328 --> 00:45:50,122
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
950
00:45:50,831 --> 00:45:54,334
And uh, take the seat you deserve.
951
00:45:56,462 --> 00:45:58,297
- Wish me luck!
- Good luck!
952
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:01,008
So I'm there, all night long,
953
00:46:01,091 --> 00:46:03,427
there's nobody there,
it's totally pitch-dark...
954
00:46:34,708 --> 00:46:36,960
Woo!
955
00:46:37,628 --> 00:46:39,171
Oh! Here she comes!
956
00:46:40,923 --> 00:46:42,633
Yeah!
957
00:46:44,176 --> 00:46:45,052

I love this song.
965
00:47:07,783 --> 00:47:09,063
You should go and dance to it.
966
00:47:09,117 --> 00:47:11,078
On a dance floor full of couples?
967
00:47:11,161 --> 00:47:13,413
Well, better than not dancing at all!
968
00:47:13,497 --> 00:47:14,957
Agree to disagree!
969
00:47:21,838 --> 00:47:23,465
What are you doing?
970
00:47:35,769 --> 00:47:38,897
- Very sweet to be doing this.
- I know. Dance with me.
971
00:47:40,482 --> 00:47:42,651
Okay.
972
00:47:47,823 --> 00:47:49,449
I know you hate this question,
973
00:47:49,533 --> 00:47:53,704
but, you are kind, and smart,
and good-looking.
974
00:47:53,787 --> 00:47:55,080
Why are you single?
975
00:47:56,206 --> 00:47:57,851
Oh, you're right. I do hate that question.
976
00:47:57,875 --> 00:47:59,918
I hate it!
977
00:48:00,002 --> 00:48:02,671
It's, it's just, just
some reason we're single,
978
00:48:02,754 --> 00:48:04,298
like, like some kind of defect.
979
00:48:04,381 --> 00:48:05,632
Yeah, heard that.
980
00:48:05,716 --> 00:48:07,426
In agreement, but
981
00:48:10,262 --> 00:48:12,139
don't you want to be loved?
982
00:48:13,974 --> 00:48:15,934
Oh, I don't know.
983
00:48:16,018 --> 00:48:18,312
- Sometimes.
- Hmm.
984
00:48:18,395 --> 00:48:21,898
But there are a, a lot of
different ways to be loved.
985
00:48:21,982 --> 00:48:24,401
- Sure.
- And, and maybe,
986
00:48:24,484 --> 00:48:28,363
not everyone needs romantic love.
987
00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:33,118
And maybe, not wanting something
is just as good as having it.
988
00:48:33,201 --> 00:48:35,287
Yeah, maybe.
989
00:48:35,370 --> 00:48:37,581
But maybe...
990
00:48:40,208 --> 00:48:41,793
What?
991
00:48:43,629 --> 00:48:45,005
Just say it.
992
00:48:47,090 --> 00:48:50,344
Maybe it's easier to accept
wanting to be alone
993
00:48:50,427 --> 00:48:53,013
than to accept wanting
to be with someone,
994
00:48:53,096 --> 00:48:54,765
and not getting it.
995
00:48:56,224 --> 00:49:01,271
I, I love our self-love, but,
996
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:03,273
isn't it okay to want to be with someone?
997
00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:05,150
Especially during the holidays?

1000

Hey!
1001
00:49:35,222 --> 00:49:37,015
Hey, babe! How's Madison?
1002
00:49:37,099 --> 00:49:39,393
Ahh! It's quiet in the best ways possible!
1003
00:49:39,476 --> 00:49:41,144
I knew it. You're gonna move there!
1004
00:49:41,228 --> 00:49:43,480
The baby to the suburbs pipeline.
1005
00:49:43,563 --> 00:49:45,148
I mean, we'll see.
1006
00:49:45,232 --> 00:49:47,275
Okay, tell me. How was the mixer?
1007
00:49:47,359 --> 00:49:51,571
Uh, it was actually kind of
great! I, I took Cooper with me?
1008
00:49:51,655 --> 00:49:54,533
Cooper? Of the "awkward
neighbor shuffle" Cooper?
1009
00:49:54,616 --> 00:49:57,994
Yeah, we've actually
become kind of friends.
1010
00:49:58,078 --> 00:50:01,206
Uh-huh! I mean, this sounds
like a longer story,
1011
00:50:01,289 --> 00:50:04,501
but for now, if you're
that eager for moral support,
1012
00:50:04,584 --> 00:50:06,854
there's still that singles
support group I told you about.
1013
00:50:06,878 --> 00:50:09,381
I just googled it, and there is
one starting in ten minutes.
1014
00:50:21,768 --> 00:50:23,019
It's a really great point.
1015
00:50:23,103 --> 00:50:25,480
Thank you so much for sharing.
1016
00:50:25,564 --> 00:50:26,564
Hi!
1017
00:50:26,606 --> 00:50:28,400
- Hi.
- Come sit, join us.
1018
00:50:29,317 --> 00:50:32,529
We were just talking about,
and I'm not saying relationships
1019
00:50:32,612 --> 00:50:36,366
aren't hard, but how exhausting
being single can be.
1020
00:50:36,450 --> 00:50:40,078
Yeah, like I am so tired of
feeling like being single means
1021
00:50:40,162 --> 00:50:41,180
there's something wrong with me!
1022
00:50:41,204 --> 00:50:43,707
And even more tired of believing it!
1023
00:50:43,790 --> 00:50:45,083
Tired of feeling left out.
1024
00:50:45,167 --> 00:50:47,669
Like, everyone is moving on without me.
1025
00:50:47,753 --> 00:50:50,505
Yes! Or constantly comparing
my messy life
1026
00:50:50,589 --> 00:50:52,799
to everyone's perfect,
curated relationships
1027
00:50:52,883 --> 00:50:54,468
on social media!
1028
00:50:54,551 --> 00:50:58,054
So, now that we've identified
the thoughts,
1029
00:50:58,138 --> 00:51:00,056
let's talk about
how we can change them. Hmm?
1030
00:51:00,140 --> 00:51:02,768
Floor's open.
1031
00:51:23,747 --> 00:51:25,707
I'll take it!
1032
00:51:29,836 --> 00:51:32,923
Coop, my man! You catch the game?
1033
00:51:33,006 --> 00:51:34,257
Nuh-uh.
1034
00:51:35,801 --> 00:51:37,385
Dude, what are you so hard at work on?
1035
00:51:37,469 --> 00:51:39,429
I'm, I'm putting together
the Christmas party.
1036
00:51:39,513 --> 00:51:41,014
Ooh!
1037
00:51:41,097 --> 00:51:43,266
You're really taking this thing seriously?
1038
00:51:43,350 --> 00:51:45,852
Why? You could just hire
someone to do it for you.
1039
00:51:45,936 --> 00:51:48,396
Well, Nell and I,
1040
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:49,815
my neighbor, we're uh,
1041
00:51:49,898 --> 00:51:51,084
we're gonna do something
different and fun.
1042
00:51:51,108 --> 00:51:53,401
Ahh! No, no, no, no, no!
1043
00:51:53,485 --> 00:51:54,945
That sounds like a misstep, buddy!
1044
00:51:55,737 --> 00:51:57,030
What do you mean?
1045
00:51:57,114 --> 00:51:59,157
Well, cause the Lindts
are gonna be there!
1046
00:51:59,241 --> 00:52:00,659
I mean, we need to impress...
1047
00:52:00,742 --> 00:52:02,035
Fundraising...
1048
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:04,704
How does Santa keep getting
in the building?
1049
00:52:04,788 --> 00:52:06,248
Like, does security not screen?
1050
00:52:08,708 --> 00:52:10,877
Coop, I hope you don't,
you know, fumble the party.
1051
00:52:10,961 --> 00:52:13,797
Yup. Thanks for the vote
of confidence, buddy!
1052
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,340
- Hi, Merry...
- Nah, nah, nah.
1053
00:52:15,423 --> 00:52:16,591
Okay.
1054
00:52:17,884 --> 00:52:19,219
Santa!
1055
00:52:19,302 --> 00:52:20,428
Yeah? Yeah.
1056
00:52:20,512 --> 00:52:22,347
You free on the 23rd?
1057
00:52:38,947 --> 00:52:41,199
Hey! Aren't you cold?
1058
00:52:41,283 --> 00:52:43,910
Uh no! The cocoa's keeping me warm.
1059
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:46,037
Now, that is a crazy amount
of hot chocolate.
1060
00:52:46,121 --> 00:52:48,456
Well, there's a sign over
there that's assuring me
1061
00:52:48,540 --> 00:52:50,417
that I can't possibly enjoy
this cocoa alone.
1062
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:53,837
Yeah, yeah. Look at you,
proving it wrong!
1063
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,005
Right?
1064
00:52:55,088 --> 00:52:56,214
Yeah!
1065
00:52:56,965 --> 00:52:58,800
Do you, do you want to sit?
1066
00:52:58,884 --> 00:53:00,343
You know, I'm not sure.
1067
00:53:00,427 --> 00:53:04,097
I'm not sure I wanna interrupt
your cocoa revolution here!
1068
00:53:04,181 --> 00:53:06,391
Your concern is noted,
but I think I'll be okay!
1069
00:53:07,642 --> 00:53:11,605
Hey, I uh, I got your email
about the Christmas party.
1070
00:53:11,688 --> 00:53:13,082
It looks great. Thank you for that.
1071
00:53:13,106 --> 00:53:14,024
Yeah.
1072
00:53:14,107 --> 00:53:15,609
So, what's on the docket today?
1073
00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:17,736
- It's movie night.
- Oh!
1074
00:53:17,819 --> 00:53:20,113
Yeah, it was a family tradition every year
1075
00:53:20,197 --> 00:53:21,531
to watch the original Rudolph.
1076
00:53:21,615 --> 00:53:23,009
The Claymation one where he runs away
1077
00:53:23,033 --> 00:53:24,284
to the Island of Misfit Toys?
1078
00:53:24,367 --> 00:53:26,411
- Yeah, that's my favorite one!
- No, mine too!
1079
00:53:26,494 --> 00:53:29,039
- The cowboy, riding the ostrich?
- The Charlie-in-the-box?
1080
00:53:29,122 --> 00:53:31,142
- Yes! And the bird that swims...
- Instead of flies!
1081
00:53:31,166 --> 00:53:33,251
Yes! I've seen it like a thousand times!
1082
00:53:33,335 --> 00:53:35,795
- I knew you liked Christmas!
- No I - fine, I do!
1083
00:53:35,879 --> 00:53:37,631
I love Christmas!
1084
00:53:37,714 --> 00:53:39,007
You got me.
1085
00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:41,426
It was, it was a big deal in our house.
1086
00:53:41,509 --> 00:53:43,970
A few days before Christmas,
we'd, we would make popcorn,
1087
00:53:44,054 --> 00:53:47,515
and a fire, and watch the movie.
1088
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:50,936
At my house, we would wear
matching footsie pj's,
1089
00:53:51,019 --> 00:53:53,730
and eat gingerbread till we were sick!
1090
00:53:53,813 --> 00:53:55,565
Pic or it didn't happen!
1091
00:53:55,649 --> 00:53:58,818
No, I, I destroyed all the
evidence a long time ago.
1092
00:53:58,902 --> 00:54:01,196
Oh, that's convenient!
1093
00:54:02,197 --> 00:54:06,576
- But you reminded me, I'm...
- kind of overdue for a rewatch.
1094
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,287
Oh.
1095
00:54:09,371 --> 00:54:12,248
Yeah. Well, you should
rewatch it, and then you should
1096
00:54:12,332 --> 00:54:14,125
get back to me and then,
1097
00:54:14,209 --> 00:54:16,503
you should let me know
if it's still a classic.
1098
00:54:16,586 --> 00:54:19,631
Yeah. Yeah, I'll do that. You too.
1099
00:54:27,555 --> 00:54:31,101
Oh. I think I got one
of your packages again.
1100
00:54:31,935 --> 00:54:33,520
- Great!
- What's the big secret?
1101
00:54:33,603 --> 00:54:34,604
Nothing!
1102
00:54:34,688 --> 00:54:37,399
Hey! Nell!
1103
00:55:04,217 --> 00:55:05,844
Mmm!
1104
00:55:22,652 --> 00:55:24,154
- Ohh.
- Hey!
1105
00:55:24,237 --> 00:55:25,905
Sorry, are you expecting someone?
1106
00:55:25,989 --> 00:55:28,867
Oh, no. I am, you.
1107
00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:31,578
I was just about to text you.
1108
00:55:31,661 --> 00:55:33,371
- Oh.
- Well, I, I figured
1109
00:55:33,455 --> 00:55:34,914
you're watching Rudolph tonight,
1110
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:36,684
I'm watching Rudolph tonight,
why don't we just...
1111
00:55:36,708 --> 00:55:38,877
- Watch Rudolph together?
- Right!
1112
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,754
For like, efficiency's sake!
1113
00:55:40,837 --> 00:55:42,773
Yeah, I mean totally, just
like for efficiency's sake.
1114
00:55:42,797 --> 00:55:44,799
- Yeah.
- Also, um, I got this for you.
1115
00:55:44,883 --> 00:55:48,678
Oh! Thank you! That...
1116
00:56:08,948 --> 00:56:10,283
Rudolph really holds up!
1117
00:56:10,367 --> 00:56:13,369
I totally remember why I love
this movie so much.
1118
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:14,746
Tell me more.
1119
00:56:14,829 --> 00:56:18,249
Well, it's about, it's about
finding belonging,
1120
00:56:18,333 --> 00:56:21,669
even though you've been
rejected by society.
1121
00:56:23,713 --> 00:56:29,219
Yeah, it's a good reminder
that no one's a misfit toy.
1122
00:56:29,969 --> 00:56:34,474
Nope. And that we, uh
1123
00:56:34,557 --> 00:56:35,934
we all fit in somewhere.
1124
00:56:37,102 --> 00:56:40,605
Right. Cause the bird that swims
1125
00:56:40,688 --> 00:56:42,649
catches twice as many fish.
1126
00:56:45,068 --> 00:56:49,656
Yup. I guess there are uh
1127
00:56:49,739 --> 00:56:51,032
a lot of fish in the sea.
1128
00:56:55,578 --> 00:56:57,997
You should probably open your present!
1129
00:56:58,081 --> 00:57:01,626
Oh! No, shouldn't I...
1130
00:57:01,709 --> 00:57:03,145
Well, shouldn't I wait till Christmas?
1131
00:57:03,169 --> 00:57:04,754
No, there's a zero percent chance
1132
00:57:04,838 --> 00:57:06,840
that I'm not gonna ruin it
if you wait that long.
1133
00:57:06,923 --> 00:57:08,567
In fact, there'll be
a zero percent chance that
1134
00:57:08,591 --> 00:57:10,051
I won't ruin it if you don't open it
1135
00:57:10,135 --> 00:57:13,513
- in the next three, two, one!
- Okay! Okay.
1136
00:57:25,733 --> 00:57:27,277
No way!
1137
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,946
Ooh, I hope it's the right
one! I mean, there's only
1138
00:57:30,029 --> 00:57:32,407
- so many pinstripe polka...
- What? No! This it!
1139
00:57:32,490 --> 00:57:34,593
- This is it! This is the one!
- Quartet... Okay, good!
1140
00:57:34,617 --> 00:57:37,704
- This is, it's amazing!
- Yes, how did you find this?
1141
00:57:40,165 --> 00:57:43,168
Yeah. Now you can put it on,
and dance around your apartment,
1142
00:57:43,251 --> 00:57:45,170
and feel like yourself.
1143
00:57:47,130 --> 00:57:49,382
Thank you.
1144
00:57:49,465 --> 00:57:51,050
I love it.
1145
00:57:55,889 --> 00:57:59,017
But um, I didn't get you anything.
1146
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:02,020
Yes, you did!
1147
00:58:48,566 --> 00:58:50,401
Hey!
1148
00:58:50,485 --> 00:58:52,487
I'll be sure to put that on my fridge!
1149
00:58:52,570 --> 00:58:54,590
Oh, you're very presumptious
to think you're getting one!
1150
00:58:54,614 --> 00:58:56,658
- Am I not?
- Oh, maybe!
1151
00:58:58,451 --> 00:59:00,095
So, remind me, what's on the
schedule today?
1152
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:02,038
- I'm baking for your parents!
- That's right!
1153
00:59:02,121 --> 00:59:04,415
Please, tell me you're baking
that gingerbread again!
1154
00:59:04,499 --> 00:59:06,084
For you, anything!
1155
00:59:07,919 --> 00:59:10,088
Uh, you know what? I'll help you bake,
1156
00:59:10,171 --> 00:59:12,382
after I finish the, the work party prep.
1157
00:59:12,465 --> 00:59:14,509
Well, vice versa, I'm your
official party planner!
1158
00:59:14,592 --> 00:59:17,345
- That's right, you are!
- Let's get to it.
1159
00:59:17,428 --> 00:59:19,055
- Now?
- Yeah!
1160
00:59:19,138 --> 00:59:21,391
Oh cool - So...
1161
00:59:21,474 --> 00:59:25,019
- Nice.
- Right?!
1162
00:59:27,105 --> 00:59:28,815
Okay, I got it.
1163
00:59:28,898 --> 00:59:30,275
Perfect, I love it!
1164
00:59:31,609 --> 00:59:33,194
Is that a hat.
1165
00:59:40,785 --> 00:59:42,912
Oh, oh gosh! I got it.
1166
00:59:59,596 --> 01:00:00,680
Oh.
1167
01:00:11,774 --> 01:00:14,193
- You okay?
- Yeah, yeah.
1168
01:00:14,277 --> 01:00:17,989
Listen. We're about to walk
into three hours plus
1169
01:00:18,072 --> 01:00:20,116
of family drilling me on why
I'm still single.
1170
01:00:20,199 --> 01:00:22,285
That doesn't usually seem to bother you.
1171
01:00:22,368 --> 01:00:24,912
No, no, but when it's family,
1172
01:00:24,996 --> 01:00:28,333
I don't know, I kind of feel
like I'm a disappointment, I...
1173
01:00:28,416 --> 01:00:29,792
That's my territory.
1174
01:00:29,876 --> 01:00:32,378
Maybe it's time for the student
to become the master!
1175
01:00:32,462 --> 01:00:34,172
- Oh yeah?
- Stick with me, I got ya!
1176
01:00:34,255 --> 01:00:35,715
Teach me, Obi-Wan!
1177
01:00:37,717 --> 01:00:41,262
Oh, tip one. Holiday paraphernalia.
1178
01:00:41,346 --> 01:00:42,805
Oh yeah!
1179
01:00:42,889 --> 01:00:45,034
Cause if I look dumb, no one's
gonna want to talk to me!
1180
01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:47,310
Exactly! And, it's a great
conversation redirection,
1181
01:00:47,393 --> 01:00:48,787
it's like a laser pointer for a cat!
1182
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:50,229
Ooh.
1183
01:00:50,313 --> 01:00:53,858
- Come here! Ahh, no!
- What?
1184
01:00:53,941 --> 01:00:55,902
We're about to have an
inescapable conversation
1185
01:00:55,985 --> 01:00:57,820
of how men of my generation
can't commit!
1186
01:00:58,946 --> 01:01:01,282
Cooper! Mini Coop!
1187
01:01:01,366 --> 01:01:03,409
- Uncle Donnie.
- Still single, or uh...
1188
01:01:03,493 --> 01:01:05,203
Look, it lights up!
1189
01:01:05,286 --> 01:01:07,705
I...
1190
01:01:07,789 --> 01:01:10,583
Okay, tip two. Defensive positioning.
1191
01:01:10,666 --> 01:01:12,335
Oh yeah, so I don't get cornered in
1192
01:01:12,418 --> 01:01:13,729
the kitchen with my chatty aunts!
1193
01:01:13,753 --> 01:01:15,393
Well, if they're anything like my aunts,
1194
01:01:15,421 --> 01:01:17,507
they'll want a complete
rundown of your entire life
1195
01:01:17,590 --> 01:01:19,230
in order to extract information from you!
1196
01:01:19,258 --> 01:01:21,135
- A thousand percent!
- Tip three,
1197
01:01:21,219 --> 01:01:23,137
- stay close to the buffet.
- Ahh.
1198
01:01:23,221 --> 01:01:25,056
It's really the sweet spot, you know?
1199
01:01:25,139 --> 01:01:28,893
Well, no one can chat to me if
I've got a mouth full of food!
1200
01:01:28,976 --> 01:01:31,479
Cooper!
1201
01:01:31,562 --> 01:01:35,900
Look at you! So handsome!
1202
01:01:35,983 --> 01:01:38,528
And with a big job in finance!
1203
01:01:39,904 --> 01:01:41,948
So, dating anyone?
1204
01:01:42,031 --> 01:01:43,741
Oh...
1205
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:44,742
Let's get you some water!
1206
01:01:46,953 --> 01:01:49,372
Hey, well that worked!
1207
01:01:49,455 --> 01:01:51,374
- Mm-hmm!
- Okay, tip four.
1208
01:01:51,457 --> 01:01:52,333
Mm-hmm.
1209
01:01:52,417 --> 01:01:54,627
Play with kids and pets.
1210
01:01:54,710 --> 01:01:57,255
Yeah, because they can't ask
me about my dating life!
1211
01:01:57,338 --> 01:02:00,007
Okay, but what if a dog does ask you?
1212
01:02:00,091 --> 01:02:02,301
Then you and I have more fun
problems to deal with!
1213
01:02:04,178 --> 01:02:06,597
Tip five, document this ridiculousness
1214
01:02:06,681 --> 01:02:08,266
so we can laugh about it later!
1215
01:02:08,349 --> 01:02:09,600
- Deal!
- There they are!
1216
01:02:09,684 --> 01:02:10,852
- Wooo!
- They made it!
1217
01:02:10,935 --> 01:02:11,954
Dad, Mom, Merry Christmas!
1218
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:13,080
Ah, you're wearing the sweater!
1219
01:02:13,104 --> 01:02:14,856
- Hi!
- Nell! Christmas cocktail.
1220
01:02:14,939 --> 01:02:16,190
- Hey!
- Uh no, thanks,
1221
01:02:16,274 --> 01:02:17,608
- I know what's in there!
- Mmm.
1222
01:02:17,692 --> 01:02:18,818
Oh, what's in it?
1223
01:02:18,901 --> 01:02:21,446
Uh, it's Dad's special recipe.
1224
01:02:21,529 --> 01:02:22,822
Wow, I'm intrigued!
1225
01:02:22,905 --> 01:02:24,758
Also, Nell, do you have plans
for Christmas Eve?
1226
01:02:24,782 --> 01:02:26,093
Because we'd love
to have you for dinner!
1227
01:02:26,117 --> 01:02:28,119
You know what, I would love
to, but I actually,
1228
01:02:28,202 --> 01:02:29,787
I have a reservation I can't cancel.
1229
01:02:29,871 --> 01:02:30,872
Oh, with your family?
1230
01:02:30,955 --> 01:02:32,540
No, just myself!
1231
01:02:34,041 --> 01:02:35,751
Uh-oh, Uncle Donnie's at it again.
1232
01:02:35,835 --> 01:02:37,003
- Oh.
- Uh, don't forget,
1233
01:02:37,086 --> 01:02:38,313
- we got that thing.
- You know Donnie!
1234
01:02:38,337 --> 01:02:40,214
I do, I just met him.
1235
01:02:40,673 --> 01:02:42,341
Where are you going on Christmas Eve?
1236
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:45,595
I managed to get another
reservation at AB Knighstford.
1237
01:02:45,678 --> 01:02:47,054
Really? You're going back?
1238
01:02:47,138 --> 01:02:49,515
Yeah, I think I'm finally
ready to be there alone.
1239
01:02:50,349 --> 01:02:52,643
Huh. Oh.
1240
01:02:53,102 --> 01:02:54,270
Hmm?
1241
01:02:54,353 --> 01:02:55,855
My weird cousin Mariesa saw us,
1242
01:02:55,938 --> 01:02:57,178
she's gonna come over and just,
1243
01:02:57,231 --> 01:02:59,400
she asks really intensely
personal questions.
1244
01:02:59,484 --> 01:03:01,284
Well, let's give her an answer
she deserves!
1245
01:03:01,319 --> 01:03:05,156
Cooper, Cooper!
1246
01:03:05,239 --> 01:03:07,074
I heard you're still on the market!
1247
01:03:07,158 --> 01:03:09,911
Why are you still single?
1248
01:03:10,745 --> 01:03:14,373
Mariesa. I mean,
1249
01:03:14,457 --> 01:03:16,876
like dating? In this economy?
1250
01:03:16,959 --> 01:03:19,003
Yeah, and Mercury is in retrograde.
1251
01:03:19,086 --> 01:03:21,756
Yeah, and like, it can't be our looks.
1252
01:03:21,839 --> 01:03:23,382
So it must be our personalities.
1253
01:03:23,466 --> 01:03:25,885
Personalities. Yeah.
1254
01:03:28,471 --> 01:03:30,765
Hmm, that worked.
1255
01:03:30,848 --> 01:03:32,850
You're really good at that!
1256
01:03:35,186 --> 01:03:37,021
Look, I know everyone keeps
asking you this,
1257
01:03:37,104 --> 01:03:38,481
but why are you still single?
1258
01:03:39,815 --> 01:03:41,943
I don't know!
1259
01:03:42,026 --> 01:03:43,277
Do you have an answer?
1260
01:03:44,737 --> 01:03:46,280
I think it's self-protection.
1261
01:03:46,364 --> 01:03:47,490
Uh-huh.
1262
01:03:48,741 --> 01:03:50,243
Why would I do that?
1263
01:03:51,911 --> 01:03:55,623
Because being in love requires
you to be fully seen.
1264
01:03:55,706 --> 01:03:57,666
And that's hard to do
when you're hiding yourself.
1265
01:03:58,918 --> 01:04:01,379
Plus, I think you still
believe that you're that
1266
01:04:01,462 --> 01:04:04,090
little boy that no one wants
to eat lunch with at school.
1267
01:04:04,173 --> 01:04:06,133
And you're not.
1268
01:04:06,217 --> 01:04:07,736
So many people want
to eat lunch with you!
1269
01:04:10,429 --> 01:04:11,931
And back at you, because you're not,
1270
01:04:12,014 --> 01:04:14,433
and you never have been
a niche market!
1271
01:04:16,185 --> 01:04:19,605
Honey! It's Santa time, and
your dad is looking for you!
1272
01:04:19,689 --> 01:04:21,107
- I'm gonna...
- Yeah, take that!
1273
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:23,192
Thanks!
1274
01:04:23,276 --> 01:04:25,403
Oh, so happy you could join
us. Have a seat.
1275
01:04:25,486 --> 01:04:27,196
Oh, thanks.
1276
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,365
Cooper speaks so highly of you.
1277
01:04:30,032 --> 01:04:33,953
Well, at the risk of being
presumptuous about your subtext,
1278
01:04:34,036 --> 01:04:35,288
we're just friends!
1279
01:04:35,371 --> 01:04:37,582
Mm-hmm, so I heard.
1280
01:04:37,665 --> 01:04:41,002
So, he's teaching you how to be alone.
1281
01:04:41,085 --> 01:04:43,963
Well, we're trying to be alone, together.
1282
01:04:44,046 --> 01:04:47,633
Mm-hmm. And when you hear
yourself say that,
1283
01:04:47,717 --> 01:04:48,426
do you buy it?
1284
01:04:50,970 --> 01:04:52,430
I guess I'm trying to.
1285
01:04:53,723 --> 01:04:55,701
All a parent wants
is for their child to be happy.
1286
01:04:55,725 --> 01:04:59,645
And when I see Cooper
with you, he looks happy.
1287
01:05:00,980 --> 01:05:01,981
Aww!
1288
01:05:03,107 --> 01:05:04,275
And so do you!
1289
01:05:05,067 --> 01:05:06,444
- Ho ho ho ho!
- Oh.
1290
01:05:06,527 --> 01:05:08,988
- Oh, It's Santa!
- Merry Christmas!
1291
01:05:09,071 --> 01:05:10,990
Santa's got something for you,
1292
01:05:11,073 --> 01:05:12,617
if you were a good girl!
1293
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:14,535
You're a good girl! Have a present!
1294
01:05:14,619 --> 01:05:17,663
Look at that suit, ho ho ho!
Do your dance, Elf!
1295
01:05:17,747 --> 01:05:20,333
Do the elf dance!
Everybody dance the elf dance!
1296
01:05:20,416 --> 01:05:21,959
Ho ho ho ho!
1297
01:05:37,433 --> 01:05:39,727
Hi! Watchya doing?
1298
01:05:39,810 --> 01:05:42,688
Oh, just having an existential
crisis on whether or not
1299
01:05:42,772 --> 01:05:44,398
I should send someone
a Christmas card!
1300
01:05:44,482 --> 01:05:45,983
Who's the someone?
1301
01:05:46,067 --> 01:05:49,654
Oh! So the new neighbor
shuffle is the one
1302
01:05:49,737 --> 01:05:51,113
where you caught feelings!
1303
01:05:51,197 --> 01:05:52,573
Like the flu!
1304
01:05:52,657 --> 01:05:54,593
And it's ironic too,
because this was the Christmas
1305
01:05:54,617 --> 01:05:56,428
that I was supposed to set
aside romantic fantasies!
1306
01:05:56,452 --> 01:05:58,245
And instead, you have a crush!
1307
01:05:58,329 --> 01:06:00,956
On a man who's convinced
he's meant to be alone.
1308
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,720
I mean, he's trying
to convince me that I'm
1309
01:06:02,750 --> 01:06:04,085
supposed to be alone.
1310
01:06:05,419 --> 01:06:07,129
Any advice from the therapist?
1311
01:06:09,090 --> 01:06:11,425
My advice is to tell him how you feel.
1312
01:06:11,509 --> 01:06:13,344
He can't read your mind.
1313
01:06:13,427 --> 01:06:16,639
Oh, and my advice is also to believe him
1314
01:06:16,722 --> 01:06:18,265
when he tells you who he is.
1315
01:06:21,435 --> 01:06:25,022
Okay, yeah. Thanks, honey.
1316
01:06:43,332 --> 01:06:45,668
No, man!
1317
01:06:45,751 --> 01:06:48,671
Dude, really? I could've gotten you
1318
01:06:48,754 --> 01:06:50,798
a private room at Alinea!
1319
01:06:50,881 --> 01:06:53,384
Oh, that's exactly the
supportive thing to say!
1320
01:06:53,467 --> 01:06:55,094
Whatever, you'll be fine!
1321
01:06:55,177 --> 01:06:57,012
So, guess who my plus one is?
1322
01:06:58,931 --> 01:07:00,659
My pilates teacher
I've been telling you about!
1323
01:07:02,226 --> 01:07:04,186
Yeah! What about you?
1324
01:07:04,270 --> 01:07:05,896
Who am I inviting to the party?
1325
01:07:05,980 --> 01:07:07,815
- Yeah!
- Oh!
1326
01:07:07,898 --> 01:07:10,985
- What?
- No, Nell, my neighbor,
1327
01:07:11,068 --> 01:07:13,487
she's helping me do all of this,
I didn't even invite her.
1328
01:07:13,571 --> 01:07:15,698
Honestly, it kind of seems
like you're into her.
1329
01:07:16,949 --> 01:07:18,367
No, she, it's the holidays,
1330
01:07:18,451 --> 01:07:21,495
she's alone, and she's been great. So...
1331
01:07:21,579 --> 01:07:23,205
- I'll see you tonight!
- Yeah.
1332
01:07:23,289 --> 01:07:25,089
And if you get canned because
of this party,
1333
01:07:25,124 --> 01:07:26,834
can I have your client list?
1334
01:07:26,917 --> 01:07:29,336
- No!
- Dude? Tch!
1335
01:08:00,326 --> 01:08:01,535
Oh, hi!
1336
01:08:01,619 --> 01:08:03,454
Hey!
1337
01:08:05,122 --> 01:08:06,707
What, is it too much?
1338
01:08:06,791 --> 01:08:11,462
No. You look gorgeous.
1339
01:08:11,545 --> 01:08:13,380
Solid main character vibes!
1340
01:08:20,763 --> 01:08:22,598
Have you checked your mail today?
1341
01:08:22,681 --> 01:08:24,725
- Yeah, this morning. Why?
- Oh, I think they do
1342
01:08:24,809 --> 01:08:26,529
an evening drop, you know,
for the holidays.
1343
01:08:27,186 --> 01:08:28,813
Well, I'll check it later.
1344
01:08:37,988 --> 01:08:40,199
Oh! Thanks.
1345
01:08:41,158 --> 01:08:42,284
Dig in!
1346
01:08:42,368 --> 01:08:43,595
It's so you, it's perfect!
1347
01:08:43,619 --> 01:08:45,204
Yeah, it turned out good!
1348
01:08:45,287 --> 01:08:47,373
- Wow!
- Thank you.
1349
01:08:47,456 --> 01:08:49,250
Thank you.
1350
01:08:49,333 --> 01:08:51,377
- Uh, Nell.
- Yeah.
1351
01:08:51,460 --> 01:08:55,589
Uh, just wait one second. Uh...
1352
01:08:58,050 --> 01:09:01,262
I just wanted to say that I...
1353
01:09:05,724 --> 01:09:07,810
Thank you. Thank you for all your help.
1354
01:09:07,893 --> 01:09:09,937
No, thank you for all your help!
1355
01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:11,564
- With what?
- Helping me realize
1356
01:09:11,647 --> 01:09:13,774
I'm okay by myself.
1357
01:09:13,858 --> 01:09:15,734
Yeah. That's great, you know.
1358
01:09:15,818 --> 01:09:19,947
I've been thinking about
that question you asked me,
1359
01:09:20,030 --> 01:09:22,324
a lot, lately.
1360
01:09:22,408 --> 01:09:24,493
Which is?
1361
01:09:24,577 --> 01:09:26,495
Is it so wrong to want
to be with someone,
1362
01:09:26,579 --> 01:09:29,623
especially at the holidays? That one.
1363
01:09:32,376 --> 01:09:36,422
- Merry Christmas, party people!
- Hey, Coop!
1364
01:09:36,505 --> 01:09:38,173
Thomas! Merry Christmas!
1365
01:09:38,257 --> 01:09:39,133
Merry Christmas!
1366
01:09:39,216 --> 01:09:41,093
- Hey, neighbor!
- Howdy!
1367
01:09:41,176 --> 01:09:42,344
Uh, Coop?
1368
01:09:42,428 --> 01:09:43,762
- Melanie's looking for you.
- Oh.
1369
01:09:44,930 --> 01:09:46,515
- Go, I'm fine!
- Thanks.
1370
01:09:57,985 --> 01:09:59,278
Merry Christmas!
1371
01:09:59,820 --> 01:10:02,656
- Merry Christmas!
- Do you work at the company?
1372
01:10:02,740 --> 01:10:05,576
Yeah, but I, I just started,
so I don't really know anyone.
1373
01:10:05,659 --> 01:10:08,287
Plus, I didn't realize I could
have a plus one.
1374
01:10:08,370 --> 01:10:10,831
Not that I have anyone to bring!
1375
01:10:10,915 --> 01:10:12,708
Yeah, I know that feeling all too well.
1376
01:10:12,791 --> 01:10:14,627
That's why I used
to avoid my college mixer!
1377
01:10:14,710 --> 01:10:16,212
So, what changed?
1378
01:10:16,295 --> 01:10:20,216
Uh, I don't know, I guess I changed.
1379
01:10:20,299 --> 01:10:22,551
I uh, I had to learn that my aloneness
1380
01:10:22,635 --> 01:10:24,762
wasn't a problem to be fixed.
1381
01:10:25,888 --> 01:10:27,139
How'd you do that?
1382
01:10:27,222 --> 01:10:31,101
Very slowly! Here's some
unsolicited advice.
1383
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:33,812
Don't shrink.
1384
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:36,941
Don't hide. You're okay.
1385
01:10:37,024 --> 01:10:38,024
We're okay!
1386
01:10:38,692 --> 01:10:41,528
Yeah. Thank you!
1387
01:10:41,612 --> 01:10:42,905
Go get 'em!
1388
01:10:46,033 --> 01:10:47,284
- Nell!
- Hey!
1389
01:10:47,368 --> 01:10:51,789
- Hey! Guess what?
- My boss loves the party.
1390
01:10:53,374 --> 01:10:55,501
Yeah, she said she's had
to suffer through like
1391
01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:57,836
a thousand yacht charters
with caviar service...
1392
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,005
- Oh, that sounds terrible!
- Oh, terrible, right?
1393
01:11:00,089 --> 01:11:02,108
But uh, yeah, this is
the first party she's actually
1394
01:11:02,132 --> 01:11:04,927
having fun at, and she wants
to talk about a promotion.
1395
01:11:05,010 --> 01:11:07,429
- That's fantastic!
- Cooper!
1396
01:11:07,513 --> 01:11:08,931
I want you to meet the Lindts.
1397
01:11:09,682 --> 01:11:10,724
Come!
1398
01:11:12,559 --> 01:11:13,978
Yes sir!
1399
01:11:16,730 --> 01:11:19,024
That's the co-worker
I was telling you about.
1400
01:11:19,108 --> 01:11:21,777
He brought his lonely neighbor
he's been hanging out with,
1401
01:11:21,860 --> 01:11:23,654
because he feels bad for her.
1402
01:11:23,737 --> 01:11:26,991
Dude loves a charitable act!
It's so annoying!
1403
01:11:27,074 --> 01:11:30,452
Hey! Couldn't help but overhear.
1404
01:11:32,621 --> 01:11:33,789
Sorry.
1405
01:11:33,872 --> 01:11:35,632
Sorry? Are you sorry
because it isn't true,
1406
01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:36,834
or because it is?
1407
01:11:38,877 --> 01:11:40,713
Again, sorry.
1408
01:11:45,009 --> 01:11:47,344
- It's about moonshots.
- Yes.
1409
01:11:47,428 --> 01:11:48,971
- You know?
- Absolutely.
1410
01:11:49,054 --> 01:11:52,516
And we, uh scale, we pivot...
1411
01:11:52,599 --> 01:11:55,728
Uh, will you just excuse me
for, for one moment?
1412
01:11:55,811 --> 01:11:57,291
- Sure!
- I'll be right back.
1413
01:11:58,272 --> 01:12:01,525
Nell? Nell?
1414
01:12:01,608 --> 01:12:02,794
- Everything okay?
- Was all this time
1415
01:12:02,818 --> 01:12:04,903
we spent together
because you pitied me?
1416
01:12:04,987 --> 01:12:06,322
- What?
- Be honest,
1417
01:12:06,405 --> 01:12:08,032
am I just another good deed?
1418
01:12:08,907 --> 01:12:10,951
- Of course not!
- Then did you or did you not
1419
01:12:11,035 --> 01:12:12,870
tell Thomas that I am your
lonely neighbor
1420
01:12:12,953 --> 01:12:14,580
that you feel bad for?
1421
01:12:14,663 --> 01:12:17,499
Uh, wait, wait. Okay,
1422
01:12:17,583 --> 01:12:19,835
just slow down, okay?
1423
01:12:19,918 --> 01:12:22,588
Yes, I did say that, but that was,
1424
01:12:22,671 --> 01:12:23,922
that was at the beginning.
1425
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:25,775
You know who you should
feel bad for? Yourself.
1426
01:12:25,799 --> 01:12:29,136
- Nell. I'm sorry.
- Yeah, me too!
1427
01:12:29,219 --> 01:12:31,156
Wait! Are we really gonna
throw away everything between us
1428
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,158
because of something I said
when I didn't even know you?
1429
01:12:33,182 --> 01:12:35,601
You know what? The reality is,
you showed me who you are,
1430
01:12:35,684 --> 01:12:37,269
I just didn't believe you.
1431
01:12:37,353 --> 01:12:39,247
Well, if nothing else,
I hope I made you realize
1432
01:12:39,271 --> 01:12:42,483
the worst thing in life isn't
to end up alone.
1433
01:12:42,566 --> 01:12:45,444
No, the worst thing in life
is to end up with someone
1434
01:12:45,527 --> 01:12:47,154
that makes you feel alone.
1435
01:12:53,243 --> 01:12:54,912
Merry Christmas, Nell!
1436
01:14:01,145 --> 01:14:03,313
Welcome back!
1437
01:14:03,397 --> 01:14:06,483
We're so happy to have you!
1438
01:14:06,567 --> 01:14:08,986
Uh, most people have already shared,
1439
01:14:09,069 --> 01:14:11,822
so why don't you just introduce yourself?
1440
01:14:13,407 --> 01:14:17,327
Um, okay. Hi, I'm Nell!
1441
01:14:17,411 --> 01:14:18,579
Hi, Nell!
1442
01:14:19,496 --> 01:14:22,040
I don't, I don't really know what to say.
1443
01:14:22,124 --> 01:14:24,209
Um, I'm single, is that
1444
01:14:24,293 --> 01:14:25,853
how we're supposed to start?
1445
01:14:25,919 --> 01:14:27,337
Yeah, that's how some of us start!
1446
01:14:27,421 --> 01:14:29,381
- Okay!
- Why don't you just share
1447
01:14:29,465 --> 01:14:30,799
whatever's on your mind?
1448
01:14:33,844 --> 01:14:37,264
I tried very hard to prove to myself
1449
01:14:37,347 --> 01:14:39,600
that I'm okay to be alone this Christmas,
1450
01:14:39,683 --> 01:14:42,603
and I failed miserably.
1451
01:14:42,686 --> 01:14:44,605
Why are you so sure you failed?
1452
01:14:46,273 --> 01:14:49,067
Because I still want love.
1453
01:14:49,151 --> 01:14:51,320
Well, maybe we don't
let go of what we want,
1454
01:14:51,403 --> 01:14:55,157
but rather expand the
possibility of what could be.
1455
01:14:56,867 --> 01:14:58,160
Yeah, I think that's true.
1456
01:14:59,286 --> 01:15:02,915
Why don't you tell us a little
more, dive a little deeper?
1457
01:15:06,752 --> 01:15:11,215
I mean, maybe my life won't look exactly
1458
01:15:11,298 --> 01:15:13,217
how I thought it would,
but it doesn't mean
1459
01:15:13,300 --> 01:15:18,347
that it can't be more rich
and beautiful and meaningful
1460
01:15:18,430 --> 01:15:20,515
than I ever imagined.
1461
01:15:22,684 --> 01:15:24,853
And
1462
01:15:24,937 --> 01:15:27,481
maybe I won't ever want love less.
1463
01:15:28,649 --> 01:15:31,818
That doesn't mean I can't
love myself more.
1464
01:15:31,902 --> 01:15:34,071
- Does that make sense?
- Yeah!
1465
01:15:34,154 --> 01:15:35,739
Absolutely!
1466
01:15:35,822 --> 01:15:39,451
Yeah, a love that stems from
wholeness rather than hunger,
1467
01:15:39,534 --> 01:15:41,995
from want instead of need.
1468
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:43,747
A love that says I'm okay.
1469
01:15:45,582 --> 01:15:48,543
And you know what?
1470
01:15:48,627 --> 01:15:50,504
I am okay.
1471
01:15:52,339 --> 01:15:53,382
I am enough.
1472
01:16:04,518 --> 01:16:07,854
Cooper! Hey, um.
1473
01:16:09,690 --> 01:16:13,193
I just wanted to apologize
for what happened last night
1474
01:16:13,277 --> 01:16:14,778
- with your neighbor.
- It's all good.
1475
01:16:18,448 --> 01:16:22,119
You know what?
Thomas, why did you say that?
1476
01:16:23,704 --> 01:16:26,707
I don't know. Honestly, I...
1477
01:16:26,790 --> 01:16:32,587
Look, sometimes I just do and
say stuff, it's not me, it's...
1478
01:16:32,671 --> 01:16:34,548
Why?
1479
01:16:34,631 --> 01:16:36,734
I don't know, I'm just trying
to fit in around here,
1480
01:16:36,758 --> 01:16:38,635
and get people to like me.
1481
01:16:40,304 --> 01:16:41,471
I get that.
1482
01:16:43,098 --> 01:16:46,226
Especially around here, it can be uh,
1483
01:16:46,310 --> 01:16:47,978
it can be hard.
1484
01:16:48,061 --> 01:16:49,646
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
1485
01:16:49,730 --> 01:16:51,940
Um, one last thing.
1486
01:16:52,024 --> 01:16:54,401
You know how every morning
when you come in, I'm like,
1487
01:16:54,484 --> 01:16:56,820
"Yo, Coop! You watch
the game last night?"
1488
01:16:56,903 --> 01:16:58,655
Yeah. Every morning.
1489
01:16:58,739 --> 01:16:59,740
Yeah, well um.
1490
01:17:02,075 --> 01:17:03,660
I never actually watch them.
1491
01:17:08,999 --> 01:17:10,459
Neither do I.
1492
01:17:10,542 --> 01:17:13,628
No, I check the scores when
I'm coming up in the elevator.
1493
01:17:13,712 --> 01:17:15,088
For real?
1494
01:17:15,172 --> 01:17:16,631
- Yeah!
- For real?
1495
01:17:16,715 --> 01:17:18,342
- For real!
- Ohh!
1496
01:17:25,098 --> 01:17:26,683
- Julia?
- Yeah!
1497
01:17:26,767 --> 01:17:28,852
What? How did you find me?
1498
01:17:28,935 --> 01:17:31,313
Cause I know you!
1499
01:17:31,396 --> 01:17:32,999
And also, because
you share your location!
1500
01:17:33,023 --> 01:17:35,108
- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah!
1501
01:17:35,192 --> 01:17:36,902
Why aren't you in Madison?
1502
01:17:36,985 --> 01:17:38,570
I'm here to bring you back with me.
1503
01:17:38,654 --> 01:17:39,905
Cause I seem so despondent?
1504
01:17:39,988 --> 01:17:41,382
Okay, I wouldn't phrase it that way.
1505
01:17:41,406 --> 01:17:44,368
More like, you just sounded
like you needed a friend.
1506
01:17:44,451 --> 01:17:45,744
But what about your family?
1507
01:17:45,827 --> 01:17:47,162
Girl, you're my family.
1508
01:17:47,245 --> 01:17:50,165
I know, but, things are gonna change.
1509
01:17:50,248 --> 01:17:51,625
You've got the baby coming!
1510
01:17:51,708 --> 01:17:54,127
No. You know, it'll make
things different between us,
1511
01:17:54,211 --> 01:17:55,337
but it won't end them!
1512
01:17:56,338 --> 01:17:59,341
- Promise?
- Yeah, I promise!
1513
01:17:59,424 --> 01:18:03,762
Girl, our paths aren't
diverging, they're broadening.
1514
01:18:03,845 --> 01:18:05,263
And we can walk them together.
1515
01:18:06,431 --> 01:18:08,725
- I'm not gonna cry!
- Okay! Just hold off
1516
01:18:08,809 --> 01:18:11,520
one moment longer,
cause I need to ask you,
1517
01:18:11,603 --> 01:18:13,438
would you be the baby's godmother?
1518
01:18:14,523 --> 01:18:18,402
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
1519
01:18:19,277 --> 01:18:21,029
Oh my gosh, I thought you'd never ask!
1520
01:18:21,113 --> 01:18:22,989
Of course!
1521
01:18:23,073 --> 01:18:24,993
But I'm not gonna
go to Madison with you, okay?
1522
01:18:25,075 --> 01:18:27,244
I'm good! I'm gonna stay here
and finish Christmas off
1523
01:18:27,327 --> 01:18:29,121
with my head held high!
1524
01:18:29,204 --> 01:18:30,622
Good for you.
1525
01:18:51,768 --> 01:18:53,687
Honey? Everything okay?
1526
01:18:53,770 --> 01:18:55,605
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
1527
01:18:55,689 --> 01:18:57,441
Don't make me dig it out of you!
1528
01:19:00,819 --> 01:19:05,157
Just uh, things kind of fell
apart with Nell.
1529
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,284
I mean, not that there was
anything to fall apart
1530
01:19:07,367 --> 01:19:09,953
in the first place.
1531
01:19:10,036 --> 01:19:12,414
Because you two were, what?
1532
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:16,293
I don't know the word for it.
1533
01:19:17,794 --> 01:19:19,629
I just know I loved every minute with her.
1534
01:19:20,505 --> 01:19:21,673
Just like
1535
01:19:23,091 --> 01:19:26,303
everything with her felt right.
1536
01:19:26,386 --> 01:19:27,596
And when you were with her,
1537
01:19:27,679 --> 01:19:29,115
did you feel like you
could truly be yourself?
1538
01:19:29,139 --> 01:19:31,141
Yeah. Yeah,
1539
01:19:31,224 --> 01:19:33,185
like the absolute best version of myself.
1540
01:19:33,268 --> 01:19:35,937
Hm, isn't that the point
of being with someone, hm?
1541
01:19:36,021 --> 01:19:40,650
That they can see you, and love
you for exactly who you are, hm?
1542
01:19:53,038 --> 01:19:55,957
"Cooper. Thank
you for helping me realize"
1543
01:19:56,041 --> 01:19:59,002
what a joy it is to be with myself.
1544
01:19:59,085 --> 01:20:01,838
But more so, thank you
for helping me realize that
1545
01:20:01,922 --> 01:20:04,049
I'd rather be alone with you,
1546
01:20:04,132 --> 01:20:06,718
than together with anyone else.
1547
01:20:06,801 --> 01:20:09,763
"Merry Christmas! Nell."
1548
01:20:11,139 --> 01:20:14,518
Ma? I gotta go.
1549
01:20:26,947 --> 01:20:29,491
Hi, Nell Duke. Party of one.
1550
01:20:29,574 --> 01:20:31,076
Mm-hmm.
1551
01:20:31,159 --> 01:20:32,327
Thank you.
1552
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,392
What are you doing here?
1553
01:20:55,475 --> 01:20:58,812
I know, you wanted to be here alone.
1554
01:20:58,895 --> 01:21:01,439
I know we're single, and
1555
01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:04,109
look, I know I taught you how to do
1556
01:21:04,192 --> 01:21:05,735
- all of this. I am so...
- Cooper.
1557
01:21:06,736 --> 01:21:07,736
I'm fine.
1558
01:21:08,488 --> 01:21:09,573
I know.
1559
01:21:10,574 --> 01:21:11,574
I'm not.
1560
01:21:12,784 --> 01:21:16,746
I um, I realize that you taught me that I,
1561
01:21:16,830 --> 01:21:19,332
I don't wanna be by myself.
1562
01:21:20,876 --> 01:21:22,127
You don't?
1563
01:21:22,794 --> 01:21:24,337
No.
1564
01:21:24,421 --> 01:21:27,090
I don't wanna
1565
01:21:27,173 --> 01:21:30,927
eat alone, together.
1566
01:21:31,011 --> 01:21:33,847
I don't wanna have
Christmas alone, together.
1567
01:21:33,930 --> 01:21:35,307
Then what do you want?
1568
01:21:37,058 --> 01:21:38,310
I just want to be together.
1569
01:21:39,352 --> 01:21:40,645
With you.
1570
01:21:42,689 --> 01:21:44,357
If you'll have me.
1571
01:21:48,278 --> 01:21:51,114
- Uh...
- What's this?
1572
01:21:52,908 --> 01:21:55,702
Well, I'll tell you what it isn't.
1573
01:21:55,785 --> 01:21:58,371
It's not that ring that we saw
at the Christmas park, but no,
1574
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:00,695
because I looked everywhere
for it and I couldn't find it
1575
01:22:00,749 --> 01:22:01,750
anywhere, and I...
1576
01:22:08,423 --> 01:22:09,758
Then, what is it?
1577
01:22:09,841 --> 01:22:11,051
Just open it.
1578
01:22:18,433 --> 01:22:21,686
That's the fortune from the
first night that you came over.
1579
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,316
A great adventure awaits you.
1580
01:22:26,399 --> 01:22:27,567
Yeah.
1581
01:22:29,819 --> 01:22:32,906
And I, I realized that
1582
01:22:32,989 --> 01:22:36,034
my fortune came true because I met you.
1583
01:22:37,243 --> 01:22:40,330
And I think,
1584
01:22:40,413 --> 01:22:41,957
and I think that yours has too.
1585
01:22:50,757 --> 01:22:53,093
The love you seek
is closer than you think.
