1
00:01:11,905 --> 00:01:13,823
Okay, well, your parents are gonna call

2
00:01:13,865 --> 00:01:15,575
once they land in London, but until then,

3
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:17,994
are you ready for our next holiday adventure?

4
00:01:19,496 --> 00:01:21,081
First up on the list is...

5
00:01:21,122 --> 00:01:22,415
Christmas cookies.

6
00:01:25,502 --> 00:01:26,878
Hey, what was that?

7
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:28,838
What? I-I don't see anything.

8
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,964
Oh.

9
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:31,466
It was probably nothing.

10
00:01:31,966 --> 00:01:34,636
Wait till you see the Christmas cookie cutters I got.

11
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:46,523
So, what do you think?

12
00:01:46,564 --> 00:01:47,857
It's pretty amazing, right?

13
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:51,402
It's perfect.

14
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:52,904
Isn't it?

15
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:58,910
It is from my vision boards everything I have ever wanted.

16
00:01:58,952 --> 00:02:00,161
- Perfect. - Mm-hmm.

17
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:03,164
And it is move-in ready.

18
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:04,374
Wha...

19
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:06,084
What's the catch?

20
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,210
Catch?

21
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:08,795
We've been looking for three years

22
00:02:08,837 --> 00:02:12,132
and you have never shown me a place this nice.

23
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:16,386
Okay, there may be a teeny-tiny catch.

24
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:18,054
Oh, there it is.

25
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:20,765
Look, I am aware of your price range.

26
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,809
Which is realtor speak for out of my budget.

27
00:02:22,851 --> 00:02:24,102
Not necessarily.

28
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,979
The mortgage payments could be in your budget.

29
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:27,396
If...

30
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,833
If you have a bigger down payment.

31
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:30,066
How much bigger?

32
00:02:30,108 --> 00:02:31,025
Twenty-five percent.

33
00:02:31,067 --> 00:02:32,026
Twen...

34
00:02:32,068 --> 00:02:33,820
- Victoria! - Olivia.

35
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:35,905
You run your own marketing company, okay?

36
00:02:35,947 --> 00:02:37,448
You make good money.

37
00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:39,701
There's normal people good money,

38
00:02:39,742 --> 00:02:40,785
and then there's,

39
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,538
"I wanna buy in Rock Ridge" good money.

40
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:44,831
They are not the same thing.

41
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,041
That is more reason to jump on this unit

42
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:48,543
while you still can, okay?

43
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:51,379
Opportunities like this one, they move fast.

44
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:53,673
An extra five percent?

45
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:56,342
That's not an insignificant amount.

46
00:02:56,384 --> 00:02:58,052
I feel like I've been saving forever.

47
00:02:58,094 --> 00:03:00,388
It is a great place.

48
00:03:00,430 --> 00:03:01,973
It could be a great home.

49
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:05,143
It's what you've always wanted.

50
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:06,269
I know.

51
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,021
Hmm.

52
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:11,107
That's a great point.

53
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:12,400
And I agree.

54
00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:16,154
But if we move the promotion up by two days,

55
00:03:16,195 --> 00:03:18,156
we can catch people before they leave town.

56
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:19,550
That's a key demographic.

57
00:03:19,574 --> 00:03:22,410
Mmhmm. Yes, exactly.

58
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:25,038
We can reframe it as a holiday send-off.

59
00:03:25,079 --> 00:03:26,998
- Oh, I'd like that. - Ah, great!

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,751
Okay, well, I will email you the updated roll out timeline

61
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:32,295
for the pop-up gifting suites by end of day.

62
00:03:32,337 --> 00:03:34,505
- That timing works well. - Ah, wonderful.

63
00:03:34,547 --> 00:03:36,049
Thank you, Claire.

64
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:45,683
Huh? A meeting about my aunt's estate.

65
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:48,728
What's that about?

66
00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:50,563
A cat café.

67
00:03:50,605 --> 00:03:52,023
- Did you just... - Yes.

68
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:53,524
- Say... - Yes.

69
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:54,984
- A cat... - Café.

70
00:03:55,026 --> 00:03:56,611
- Is in a café... - With cats.

71
00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:59,197
In Felicity, New York, which your great Aunt Esther

72
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,740
left you half-owner of in her will.

73
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:02,659
Wow.

74
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,494
Her only listed assets were the house,

75
00:04:04,535 --> 00:04:06,013
which still has a significant mortgage

76
00:04:06,037 --> 00:04:07,497
that the bank is looking to recover,

77
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:08,706
and the café.

78
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,792
So, you are the sole benefactor.

79
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:12,877
Wait, I'm sorry. Did you say I'm half-owner?

80
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,630
Correct. Yourself and Ben Kane,

81
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:17,090
who owned it with Esther.

82
00:04:17,507 --> 00:04:19,175
You each have an equal share.

83
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:22,762
Do you happen to know if this Ben Kane person wants to sell?

84
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:24,430
If he's just an investor?

85
00:04:24,472 --> 00:04:25,765
I haven't asked.

86
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,934
If he does, and if the sale goes fast enough,

87
00:04:27,976 --> 00:04:30,061
I can have enough for a down payment for this

88
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,230
dream condo.

89
00:04:32,271 --> 00:04:36,359
It-it would be the Christmas miracle I'm looking for.

90
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:38,194
Oh, well, actually,

91
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:40,363
I've been contacted by Walter Morley.

92
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:43,074
He buys and sells property in that area of upstate New York.

93
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,534
He's interested in buying the café.

94
00:04:44,575 --> 00:04:45,660
Would you like his number?

95
00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:47,453
I would love his number.

96
00:04:47,495 --> 00:04:50,123
Do you have any way to contact this Ben person?

97
00:04:50,164 --> 00:04:51,749
I can arrange a meeting if you'd like.

98
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:53,042
I would love.

99
00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:00,300
Boomer is doing great.

100
00:05:00,341 --> 00:05:01,843
But I would like to see him back here

101
00:05:01,884 --> 00:05:03,386
again next week, though.

102
00:05:04,178 --> 00:05:06,097
- So soon? - Yeah.

103
00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:07,515
Ah, Christmas is just,

104
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:09,976
so busy this time of year.

105
00:05:10,518 --> 00:05:11,811
Ah... yes.

106
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:13,604
Uh... free of charge.

107
00:05:15,857 --> 00:05:18,026
We wanna make sure Boomer is 100 percent.

108
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:21,446
I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.

109
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:23,990
I'll make sure to bring you some of my famous

110
00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:25,241
snickerdoodle cookies.

111
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,994
I can't wait, they're my favorite.

112
00:05:28,036 --> 00:05:29,036
Hey.

113
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:30,621
Tell you what.

114
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:32,248
You stay safe out there, okay?

115
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:33,499
You take care of yourself.

116
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:35,710
Merry Christmas.

117
00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:37,169
Okay.

118
00:05:37,336 --> 00:05:38,838
We are gonna see Boomer next week.

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,550
Margaret is going to give us a batch of her snickerdoodles.

120
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:43,676
Mm-hmm.

121
00:05:47,346 --> 00:05:49,140
Is that it for today?

122
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,726
There was only supposed to be one appointment after 4:00.

123
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:54,437
I know, but then Gladys cornered me in the supermarket

124
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,397
because Sadie was lethargic.

125
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,525
And Mr. Lane was worried because Odin had eaten too much cheese.

126
00:05:59,567 --> 00:06:01,861
You know, now might be a good time to remind you

127
00:06:01,903 --> 00:06:04,864
that while treats are lovely, it's hard to keep the lights on

128
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:06,616
with gingerbread and sugar cookies.

129
00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:09,035
You know, now is not a great time to remind me.

130
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:11,162
Also, I do say no. Okay?

131
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:12,914
- Mm-hmm. - Occasionally, so...

132
00:06:13,372 --> 00:06:15,208
You know what else would really help

133
00:06:15,249 --> 00:06:16,727
- right about now? - Nope, don't even say it.

134
00:06:16,751 --> 00:06:17,770
- Don't even... - Another vet.

135
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:19,253
I said don't even say it.

136
00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:21,714
Not saying something never made anything not be true.

137
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:25,635
There's too many negatives in that sentence.

138
00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:27,720
- Ben! - Oh... yes.

139
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:29,305
Hello, Mrs. Lombardo.

140
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:31,265
Now, don't forget to stop by the house tonight

141
00:06:31,307 --> 00:06:32,975
about that squeaky door.

142
00:06:33,017 --> 00:06:35,269
I haven't forgotten. You tell Mr. Lombardo

143
00:06:35,311 --> 00:06:36,955
that I will be there tonight with mince pies

144
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:39,565
from The Hash House and treats for Fluffle-stiltskin.

145
00:06:39,857 --> 00:06:42,193
Oh, you spoil us.

146
00:06:42,235 --> 00:06:43,152
The least I could do.

147
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:44,946
It's you who spoils me.

148
00:06:44,987 --> 00:06:46,340
- Oh, thank you. - I'll see you tonight.

149
00:06:46,364 --> 00:06:47,782
You bet. Okay.

150
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:50,284
Uh...

151
00:06:51,327 --> 00:06:52,495
What?

152
00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:53,931
Mr. Lombardo's hips are not so great.

153
00:06:53,955 --> 00:06:55,039
You are such a softy.

154
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:56,541
You say that like it's a bad thing.

155
00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:57,582
I am.

156
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,211
Millie. You're up.

157
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:05,049
These decorations are looking perfect.

158
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:06,175
No, it looks great.

159
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:07,927
So, did you know she owned one?

160
00:07:08,302 --> 00:07:10,513
Your aunt, I mean, with the cat café.

161
00:07:10,555 --> 00:07:11,931
Not a clue.

162
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,474
I want a cat.

163
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:14,350
Oh...

164
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:16,769
- You do? - Cat?

165
00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:19,147
Well, I guess we'll have to go visit the café then.

166
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:21,691
After I moved out west

167
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:23,234
life just got so busy.

168
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:25,528
I'd get updates from my mom about her, but...

169
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,698
I just really wish I'd worked harder to keep in touch.

170
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:31,200
Yeah, I mean, but... it's life.

171
00:07:31,242 --> 00:07:33,161
It's full of distractions.

172
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:36,038
And the saddest part is I missed her funeral.

173
00:07:36,664 --> 00:07:38,332
Hmm. How'd that happen?

174
00:07:38,374 --> 00:07:41,502
I was working, I was at a conference in Fiji, and

175
00:07:41,544 --> 00:07:43,212
it all happened so fast,

176
00:07:43,254 --> 00:07:45,254
and there were these limited flights, and I just...

177
00:07:45,715 --> 00:07:46,924
I couldn't make it home.

178
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,927
She clearly felt close enough to you to leave you

179
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:51,429
half of a café.

180
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:52,722
Okay.

181
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:55,266
Hey, when do you go there, by the way?

182
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,768
Um, I fly to Buffalo day after tomorrow,

183
00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:00,354
and then I'm driving up to Felicity, where the café is.

184
00:08:00,396 --> 00:08:02,190
Thank goodness it is the holidays

185
00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:04,650
so work is slow and I can work remotely.

186
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,194
Mmhmm.

187
00:08:06,235 --> 00:08:08,654
I'm gonna stay there until I make sure that café is sold.

188
00:08:08,696 --> 00:08:09,780
Yes.

189
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:11,407
Well, we are going to miss you.

190
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:12,742
I'll miss you too.

191
00:08:12,783 --> 00:08:13,910
I'm all done!

192
00:08:13,951 --> 00:08:15,578
Oh!

193
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,914
Well, look at this artist.

194
00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:19,582
What is that you're making?

195
00:08:19,624 --> 00:08:20,583
A turtle.

196
00:08:50,112 --> 00:08:51,322
Oh, oh!

197
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:52,490
- Sorry! - Careful!

198
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:54,033
- Ah! - Are you okay?

199
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:30,820
Well, hello there, cutie.

200
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:34,699
I bet you're not as grumpy as you look.

201
00:09:42,164 --> 00:09:43,164
Hi, there.

202
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:44,749
Hi.

203
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,044
Don't mind him, he's just naturally grumpy.

204
00:09:48,337 --> 00:09:50,097
Welcome. Can I get you started with anything?

205
00:09:50,214 --> 00:09:51,340
Coffee. Black.

206
00:09:51,382 --> 00:09:52,550
- Sure. - Thank you.

207
00:09:52,591 --> 00:09:53,777
Actually, what kind of beans do you use?

208
00:09:53,801 --> 00:09:54,802
Beans.

209
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:56,596
- Um... - Never mind.

210
00:09:56,929 --> 00:09:57,888
Earl gray tea.

211
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:59,640
- Coming right up. - Thank you.

212
00:10:00,224 --> 00:10:01,559
Saw you with the cat there.

213
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,311
Just so you know, uh, all the cats are

214
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:04,997
available for adoption, if you're interested.

215
00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:06,272
Oh, I'm not here for the cats.

216
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:08,774
I'm here to meet somebody.

217
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:10,651
I think that might be me.

218
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:12,652
Oh.

219
00:10:14,655 --> 00:10:15,781
- Hi. - hi.

220
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:18,951
No, I mean, I'm actually here to meet somebody,

221
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:20,244
as in, it was planned.

222
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,038
Oh, I see.

223
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:23,414
Still, I think that might be m.

224
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,374
If you're Olivia Pierce.

225
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:27,752
- So, you're... - Not a creeper, no.

226
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,021
I'm the guy you planned to meet.

227
00:10:29,045 --> 00:10:30,212
- Ben Kane. - Ben Kane.

228
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:32,048
Thrilled to finally meet you, hi.

229
00:10:32,089 --> 00:10:33,841
- Oh! - Aww. Here.

230
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:35,718
Nice to finally meet you both.

231
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,802
This is Holly.

232
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:39,096
When I was contacted by Mr. Henry,

233
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:41,474
I was curious to know who the other owner was.

234
00:10:41,515 --> 00:10:43,476
I was happy it was Esther's niece.

235
00:10:43,517 --> 00:10:44,644
We all were.

236
00:10:46,270 --> 00:10:48,189
- My aunt never told me. - Seriously?

237
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:50,232
Wow. Then this must...

238
00:10:50,274 --> 00:10:51,609
This must be quite the surprise.

239
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:53,944
Uh, welcome to the Catnip Café.

240
00:10:55,112 --> 00:10:57,073
Thank you. And it is a surprise.

241
00:10:57,114 --> 00:10:59,033
For so many reasons.

242
00:10:59,075 --> 00:11:01,327
Yeah, uh, good ones, I hope.

243
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,953
Uh, do you wanna sit?

244
00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:04,330
Frank, would you mind?

245
00:11:04,372 --> 00:11:05,206
Coming right up.

246
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:05,998
Thank you.

247
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,832
Hmm.

248
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:08,793
Um, well, uh...

249
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,795
There-there is one good reason.

250
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:14,298
I found the perfect condo for me.

251
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,008
- I love it. - Great. Okay.

252
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,803
Yeah, but I don't have enough money for the down payment.

253
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:23,724
So that's why all of this is incredible timing.

254
00:11:27,436 --> 00:11:28,646
Aww.

255
00:11:28,687 --> 00:11:30,407
Got a little friend there. Uh, well

256
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:32,817
the café is beloved, but unfortunately,

257
00:11:32,858 --> 00:11:34,777
it's anything but a lucrative venture.

258
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:36,195
Well, I never assumed that

259
00:11:36,237 --> 00:11:37,947
the café was actually profitable.

260
00:11:37,988 --> 00:11:38,989
Oh.

261
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:40,658
It's a cat café in a small town.

262
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,910
It's not exactly a resort in Vegas.

263
00:11:42,952 --> 00:11:44,620
Um, excuse me, ma'am, would you

264
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:46,247
good girl.

265
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:47,790
Uh... yeah.

266
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:50,501
You know, most resorts in Vegas would actually be so lucky

267
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:52,294
to have the impact

268
00:11:52,336 --> 00:11:54,714
on a community that the Catnip has on Felicity.

269
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:55,965
You seem a little annoyed.

270
00:11:56,006 --> 00:11:57,508
- I'm not annoyed. - You sure?

271
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:59,135
- 'Cause... - Yeah. Nope.

272
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:02,096
Uh, the estate lawyer, Mr. Henry,

273
00:12:02,138 --> 00:12:04,157
said that you wanted to talk to me about something, so.

274
00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:05,941
I wanted to make sure we're on the same page.

275
00:12:05,975 --> 00:12:07,810
What page is that, that you're on?

276
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:10,855
I- I'm so touched that my aunt thought to give me this gift,

277
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:13,816
but I don't have any space in my life for a café,

278
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:16,235
let alone one that's centered around animals.

279
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:17,337
Um...

280
00:12:17,361 --> 00:12:18,821
Please tell me

281
00:12:18,863 --> 00:12:20,340
that what you're about to say is that you are planning

282
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:21,866
to be an owner in absentia.

283
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:23,576
I wanna sell. ASAP.

284
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:26,036
Mr. Henry told me that there's a developer that's interested,

285
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:27,329
so it'll go quickly.

286
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:28,955
Ben.

287
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:32,668
Ms. Pierce, it seems that we are not on the same page,

288
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:35,004
because I absolutely do not want to sell.

289
00:12:35,045 --> 00:12:38,299
I'm not just an investor. This café means the world to m.

290
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:39,592
I can understand that.

291
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:41,177
Then buy me out.

292
00:12:41,218 --> 00:12:42,178
I wish that I could.

293
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:43,679
My money is tied up in my clinic.

294
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:45,431
Then I guess we're at an impasse.

295
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:46,724
Guess we are.

296
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Hm.

297
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:45,533
Okay, pass me the plug.

298
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:46,951
Okay. There we go.

299
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:47,992
Oh.

300
00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:49,453
The lights don't work.

301
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:51,121
That's because one of them is out

302
00:13:51,163 --> 00:13:52,998
and it's up to us to find it, fix it,

303
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,960
so that this string of lights can shine again.

304
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,258
I got it!

305
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:06,679
Perfect.

306
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:13,352
Oh. Mr. Henry, hi.

307
00:14:13,394 --> 00:14:14,770
Hi.

308
00:14:14,812 --> 00:14:15,997
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

309
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:17,481
- Of course. - Uh...

310
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:19,942
What I was wondering is if he doesn't wanna sell

311
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:22,152
his half, what are my options?

312
00:14:22,194 --> 00:14:24,530
You could file a partition action with the courts,

313
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:26,865
legally forcing the sale of the café

314
00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:28,284
and dividing the proceeds.

315
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:29,952
Well, how long does that take?

316
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:32,121
Year. Year and a half, maybe.

317
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:34,707
Depending on if Dr. Kane wants to delay things.

318
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,500
Which he will.

319
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:39,336
And by that time, the condo will be sold.

320
00:14:40,921 --> 00:14:43,299
Bye-bye Christmas miracle.

321
00:14:45,926 --> 00:14:48,012
Thank you very much.

322
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,347
- Bye-bye. - Okay. Take care. Bye.

323
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:58,981
I just don't understand why Esther would leave the café

324
00:14:59,023 --> 00:15:00,566
to someone who wouldn't appreciate it.

325
00:15:00,608 --> 00:15:03,319
Olivia Pierce can't appreciate what she doesn't know,

326
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,528
which takes time.

327
00:15:04,570 --> 00:15:06,405
Yeah, well, I don't have time.

328
00:15:06,697 --> 00:15:07,990
Okay, well, speaking of time,

329
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:10,701
I need to get back to Dan and the kids.

330
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:11,827
Yes. Go.

331
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,622
- Also... - Yeah.

332
00:15:14,663 --> 00:15:16,498
- Mom called. - Mm-hmm.

333
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:19,168
She wants to know if you're bringing someone to Christmas.

334
00:15:19,209 --> 00:15:21,462
Oh, does she? What'd you tell her?

335
00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:23,726
I said we all wanna know if you're bringing

336
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:24,840
someone to Christmas.

337
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:26,592
Yeah, well, you know what?

338
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:29,928
Next time you can just say... someday.

339
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:32,181
You and Abby ended seven years ago,

340
00:15:32,222 --> 00:15:35,017
so you're kind of heading in the wrong direction of someday.

341
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:37,061
Yeah, well, you know, with running the clinic

342
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,812
and, uh, the café,

343
00:15:38,854 --> 00:15:41,148
and being the town's de facto handyman,

344
00:15:41,398 --> 00:15:42,775
I haven't had a lot of time

345
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:45,027
to find the perfect person to, you know,

346
00:15:45,069 --> 00:15:46,320
spend the rest of my life with.

347
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:48,322
But, um, I'll put it on the list for tomorrow.

348
00:15:48,364 --> 00:15:50,616
By the way, I cannot for the life of me

349
00:15:50,658 --> 00:15:53,452
find Esther's Christmas binder and I'm kinda freaking out.

350
00:15:53,494 --> 00:15:54,929
Yeah, sorry, I haven't seen it, but...

351
00:15:54,953 --> 00:15:56,246
I'll keep an eye out for it.

352
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:57,288
Great.

353
00:15:57,581 --> 00:15:59,583
Great, great, great, great, great, great.

354
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:00,626
Great.

355
00:16:30,906 --> 00:16:32,241
- You. - Me.

356
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,660
What are you doing here?

357
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:36,078
Oh, you know, just, uh,

358
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,581
returning home from a long day of caring for animals

359
00:16:39,623 --> 00:16:43,252
and meeting my new co-owner of a café who wants to sell,

360
00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:46,839
regardless of the impact to the townsfolk and felines alike.

361
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,173
You said returning home?

362
00:16:48,716 --> 00:16:49,758
Yeah.

363
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,010
I live, uh, just down the block.

364
00:16:52,594 --> 00:16:54,013
What are you doing here?

365
00:16:54,054 --> 00:16:55,782
I told Mr. Henry I'd help pack up my aunt's things

366
00:16:55,806 --> 00:16:57,057
to prepare for the bank sale.

367
00:16:57,099 --> 00:16:58,726
So, I'm staying here while I'm in town.

368
00:16:58,767 --> 00:17:01,645
Well, I just stopped by to find something

369
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,605
that I'm hoping is inside the house, and

370
00:17:03,647 --> 00:17:04,606
noticed the lights were on.

371
00:17:04,648 --> 00:17:05,983
- You have a key? - Yeah.

372
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:07,568
Esther and I were really close.

373
00:17:07,609 --> 00:17:09,862
I used to look after the place occasionally.

374
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:13,073
Um, I don't suppose you've seen a...

375
00:17:13,115 --> 00:17:16,618
Christmas binder for the café lying around anywhere by chance?

376
00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:18,388
Actually, I think I know what you're talking about.

377
00:17:18,412 --> 00:17:19,455
Hang on one sec.

378
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:28,005
A-ha!

379
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:31,467
- This is it? - Yeah.

380
00:17:31,508 --> 00:17:33,343
- Yeah, it was in a box. - Great.

381
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:37,848
That is a road map for all things Catnip Christmas.

382
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:39,850
We've been doing it for the last five years.

383
00:17:40,517 --> 00:17:42,811
It looks like quite the production.

384
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:45,522
It was Esther's pride and joy.

385
00:17:46,648 --> 00:17:48,400
My aunt did all this by herself?

386
00:17:48,442 --> 00:17:49,777
Essentially.

387
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:51,463
Although she wasn't trying to run a vet clinic

388
00:17:51,487 --> 00:17:52,863
at the same time.

389
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:55,699
I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it on my own.

390
00:17:56,533 --> 00:17:57,659
Should be interesting.

391
00:17:57,701 --> 00:17:59,912
I will take that.

392
00:17:59,953 --> 00:18:01,139
You don't need that. Thank you.

393
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:02,414
But you do need these.

394
00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:04,833
Night.

395
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:06,502
Wait.

396
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:10,422
I can help you.

397
00:18:11,089 --> 00:18:12,132
With that.

398
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,093
Why would you do that?

399
00:18:16,386 --> 00:18:17,346
In exchange...

400
00:18:17,387 --> 00:18:18,597
There it is.

401
00:18:18,639 --> 00:18:20,724
You don't delay the sale of the café.

402
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:22,433
Ha!

403
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:24,853
I think I was pretty clear.

404
00:18:25,562 --> 00:18:26,897
I don't wanna sell.

405
00:18:26,939 --> 00:18:28,398
I know you don't wanna sell,

406
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,652
but I think you also know that you can't stop the sale.

407
00:18:31,693 --> 00:18:33,529
You can only slow it down.

408
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:35,155
And I need this to go quickly.

409
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:42,454
You know, that would mean

410
00:18:42,996 --> 00:18:44,289
three whole weeks

411
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:47,960
working very closely in and around that café.

412
00:18:48,585 --> 00:18:50,629
As long as it results in you agreeing to sell

413
00:18:50,671 --> 00:18:51,880
your half of the café...

414
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:53,757
I'm good.

415
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:55,193
Yeah, or you realizing how important the café is

416
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:57,010
to the community and deciding not to sell.

417
00:18:57,761 --> 00:18:59,137
Won't happen.

418
00:18:59,179 --> 00:19:00,514
Tell you what.

419
00:19:00,556 --> 00:19:01,556
Uh...

420
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:04,309
You study that tonight.

421
00:19:04,893 --> 00:19:07,312
And tomorrow we will go over the whole thing.

422
00:19:08,146 --> 00:19:09,481
- Does this mean... - Oh, yes.

423
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:11,316
We have a deal.

424
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:14,570
I still think it's gonna happen.

425
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:16,655
I still think you're wrong.

426
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:17,656
We'll see.

427
00:19:17,698 --> 00:19:18,949
Yeah, we will.

428
00:19:32,045 --> 00:19:34,590
What possessed you to make such an all-or-nothing deal?

429
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,884
Well, I didn't really have a choice, did I?

430
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:38,969
Besides, you said it yourself.

431
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:40,679
Olivia Pierce doesn't know the Catnip,

432
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:42,601
or Felicity, for that matter, and it takes time.

433
00:19:42,639 --> 00:19:44,474
Well, now we have time.

434
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:48,645
Heart sounds great. There's no murmur.

435
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:51,440
And you think three weeks is enough time

436
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:52,691
for her to change her mind?

437
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:54,401
Better be, 'cause it's all we got.

438
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:57,362
That and cute cats to disarm her.

439
00:19:57,404 --> 00:19:58,798
You want a piece of me?

440
00:20:00,073 --> 00:20:01,176
Does she know everything that's involved?

441
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,218
Well, I gave her the binder.

442
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:03,744
Esther handled it, and she was 80.

443
00:20:03,785 --> 00:20:04,953
Yeah, but Esther...

444
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:08,207
She was a special person.

445
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:09,248
Yeah.

446
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:10,667
She sure was.

447
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:12,920
I hope she knew what she was doing

448
00:20:12,961 --> 00:20:14,963
when she put Olivia in her will like this.

449
00:20:15,005 --> 00:20:16,506
You and me both.

450
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,008
All right.

451
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,069
Let's get you outta here, you're healthy as a horse.

452
00:20:20,093 --> 00:20:22,095
A very little horse.

453
00:20:26,516 --> 00:20:28,435
- Hello? - Olivia Pierce.

454
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:29,519
That's me.

455
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:30,729
I'm Walter Morley.

456
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:32,081
I got your number from your aunt's lawyer.

457
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:33,231
Yes. Hi.

458
00:20:33,273 --> 00:20:34,942
You're the developer he mentioned.

459
00:20:34,983 --> 00:20:36,401
That's right.

460
00:20:36,443 --> 00:20:38,046
I heard you were interested in selling the cat café.

461
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,738
I am, and quickly.

462
00:20:39,780 --> 00:20:41,156
Well, I don't know about quickly.

463
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:42,634
I've already spoken to your co-owner.

464
00:20:42,658 --> 00:20:44,117
He's a firm "no" on selling.

465
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:45,243
I know.

466
00:20:45,827 --> 00:20:47,621
But I am working on that.

467
00:20:47,663 --> 00:20:49,039
Glad to hear it.

468
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:51,201
Thank you for calling. I'll talk to you soon.

469
00:21:03,261 --> 00:21:04,346
Hello.

470
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:05,388
Hi.

471
00:21:08,141 --> 00:21:09,184
Three weeks.

472
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:10,560
Olivia, three weeks.

473
00:21:11,395 --> 00:21:12,521
You can do this.

474
00:21:15,065 --> 00:21:16,065
Hm.

475
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:26,201
Joshy, we have to get going now.

476
00:21:26,994 --> 00:21:29,037
Time to say goodbye to Snowball, okay?

477
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:30,706
Okay, Molly.

478
00:21:32,416 --> 00:21:33,875
Goodbye, little buddy.

479
00:21:33,917 --> 00:21:35,002
See you next time.

480
00:21:51,601 --> 00:21:53,854
Look, look how sweet they are at four weeks.

481
00:21:53,895 --> 00:21:54,938
Oh, come on.

482
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:56,773
Look, this one reminds me of Bailey.

483
00:21:57,357 --> 00:21:58,483
Same eyes.

484
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:01,028
He was such a good boy.

485
00:22:01,069 --> 00:22:02,904
Oh, he was such a good boy.

486
00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:05,049
Grant's cousin said they'll be old enough in a few weeks

487
00:22:05,073 --> 00:22:06,742
if you're ready to adopt one.

488
00:22:06,783 --> 00:22:09,161
You know I would consider another puppy, but

489
00:22:09,202 --> 00:22:11,496
life's a little complicated right now.

490
00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:13,915
Speaking of.

491
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:15,542
Hi. Sorry I'm late.

492
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:17,711
I went by the café to get the lay of the land.

493
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:19,588
Uh, Abby, this is Olivia Pierce.

494
00:22:19,629 --> 00:22:21,548
- Olivia, this is Abby Carter. - Hey.

495
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:24,343
Uh, Abby and her husband Grant own the Juniper and Pine.

496
00:22:24,384 --> 00:22:25,886
Oh, nice to meet you.

497
00:22:25,927 --> 00:22:27,429
Your place is beautiful.

498
00:22:27,471 --> 00:22:29,056
Nice to meet you too, and thank you.

499
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:30,891
Christmas makes everything look better.

500
00:22:30,932 --> 00:22:32,768
- True. - Oh, Ben, uh, one more thing.

501
00:22:32,809 --> 00:22:35,645
Grant wanted me to ask you, can he borrow your...

502
00:22:35,687 --> 00:22:37,040
- Gutter... scoop. - Gutter scoop. Yes!

503
00:22:37,064 --> 00:22:38,774
- Yeah. - Yes, it's a disaster.

504
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:40,293
And apparently, this thing's a wonder.

505
00:22:40,317 --> 00:22:41,711
I will bring it by the house.

506
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:42,861
Thank you.

507
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:44,339
If you need anything, just let me know.

508
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,364
Thank you.

509
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:47,949
She seems lovely.

510
00:22:47,991 --> 00:22:49,493
She is very nice.

511
00:22:49,534 --> 00:22:52,120
I'm assuming you've had a chance to go over the binder?

512
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:56,917
Yes, and there are so many great options for events.

513
00:22:56,958 --> 00:22:58,043
Options?

514
00:22:58,085 --> 00:22:59,795
But the trick is which event to pick.

515
00:22:59,836 --> 00:23:02,214
The sock puppet idea, that is a no go.

516
00:23:02,255 --> 00:23:04,007
That is a little odd.

517
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:05,342
The big Christmas party.

518
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:06,903
We are too close to the date to pull that off.

519
00:23:06,927 --> 00:23:08,970
I don't know what a Merry Mistletoe Market is,

520
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:10,823
so maybe you could explain that to me sometime.

521
00:23:10,847 --> 00:23:12,224
Oh, absolutely.

522
00:23:12,265 --> 00:23:14,893
That leaves us with the Merry Catmas Story-time,

523
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:16,978
or the Catnip Christmas pajama party movie night,

524
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:18,647
both of which I think sound good.

525
00:23:18,688 --> 00:23:20,482
So, I thought we could do pros and cons

526
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:21,983
for both and then pick one.

527
00:23:22,025 --> 00:23:23,652
Okay, uh, we're not gonna pick one.

528
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:25,195
We're not gonna pick one?

529
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:26,477
No, we're gonna do all of them.

530
00:23:26,738 --> 00:23:28,240
- What? - Yeah, all of 'em.

531
00:23:28,281 --> 00:23:29,825
As in... in totality.

532
00:23:29,866 --> 00:23:31,243
As in each and every.

533
00:23:31,284 --> 00:23:33,537
As in the whole kitten caboodle.

534
00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:34,538
Pun intended.

535
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:35,831
That's impossible.

536
00:23:35,872 --> 00:23:37,958
Now, you can understand why I'm so grateful

537
00:23:37,999 --> 00:23:40,419
for your incredibly generous offer to help.

538
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:43,255
Sorry, you do every one of these events every year?

539
00:23:43,296 --> 00:23:44,714
Esther did, yeah.

540
00:23:45,006 --> 00:23:46,675
Oh, FYI, that, uh,

541
00:23:46,967 --> 00:23:48,260
odd little puppet show?

542
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:49,344
That's tonight.

543
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:50,303
Tonight?

544
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:51,721
Yeah. Oh, sorry. One sec.

545
00:23:52,889 --> 00:23:54,141
You're kidding me.

546
00:23:54,182 --> 00:23:55,976
Well, it looks like my almost 22-minute lunch

547
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:57,477
has come to an abrupt end.

548
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,604
- You're leaving? - Yes. Duty calls.

549
00:23:59,646 --> 00:24:02,816
I will spare you the details, but it involves a Chihuahua

550
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:03,938
and a missing wedding ring.

551
00:24:05,819 --> 00:24:08,530
I will see you at the café tonight and we will

552
00:24:08,572 --> 00:24:10,407
go over all of the events.

553
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:11,616
Uh, oh, and I ordered

554
00:24:11,658 --> 00:24:13,577
a vegetarian beef stew if you're hungry.

555
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:15,036
That's all yours. It's delicious.

556
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:17,164
Thank you... what...

557
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:34,556
You see?

558
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:36,349
See how none of the needles come off easily?

559
00:24:36,391 --> 00:24:38,226
That means it's a fresh tree.

560
00:24:38,768 --> 00:24:40,395
It's not gonna make a mess later.

561
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,939
Oh. It smells so good.

562
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:50,906
Excuse me.

563
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:51,990
Do you deliver?

564
00:24:53,283 --> 00:24:54,826
Perfect. I'd...

565
00:24:57,329 --> 00:24:58,580
The script?

566
00:25:14,221 --> 00:25:15,513
You seem nervous.

567
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:17,098
No, not nervous.

568
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:18,225
I was just

569
00:25:18,266 --> 00:25:19,666
hoping for a little better turnout.

570
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:23,021
Okay, so I can't do this, so I'm just gonna...

571
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:24,063
Oh, no.

572
00:25:24,272 --> 00:25:25,273
No, no, no.

573
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,234
I sent you the script.

574
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:30,153
A half-hour ago. I didn't read it.

575
00:25:30,195 --> 00:25:32,075
Why would I read it? I didn't think I was in it!

576
00:25:32,113 --> 00:25:33,907
Because you signed up for Catnip Christmas

577
00:25:33,949 --> 00:25:35,450
and it's meow time.

578
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:36,535
I don't ad-lib.

579
00:25:40,622 --> 00:25:42,582
I really don't think this is a good idea.

580
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:43,917
Ready?

581
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:45,377
- No. - Too bad.

582
00:25:48,421 --> 00:25:49,923
Good evening.

583
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:54,010
I am your host, Richard Cattenborough.

584
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:55,571
What's up with the accent?

585
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:57,180
I watch a lot of BBC documentaries.

586
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:58,407
Am I supposed to do an accent?

587
00:25:58,431 --> 00:25:59,808
No, Coco doesn't have an accent.

588
00:25:59,849 --> 00:26:02,227
A cat who was searching,

589
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:04,896
for a home.

590
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,066
Is that me?

591
00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:10,151
Coco, the brave

592
00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:12,821
stray kitty followed the twinkle of the magic

593
00:26:12,862 --> 00:26:14,406
Christmas collar

594
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:20,745
all the way to the North Pole, only to find... Santa Paws.

595
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:21,787
Ha!

596
00:26:22,038 --> 00:26:24,332
Ho-ho-ho!

597
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:26,209
Hi.

598
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:31,006
Suddenly, a snowflake landed on Coco's nose.

599
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:34,134
Why would you sneeze?

600
00:26:34,175 --> 00:26:35,719
I... a snowflake fell on her nose.

601
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,738
A cat's not gonna sneeze if a snowflake falls on its nose.

602
00:26:37,762 --> 00:26:39,365
What? Is this really the time to debate this?

603
00:26:39,389 --> 00:26:41,367
'Cause I don't think we should talk about this right now.

604
00:26:41,391 --> 00:26:42,309
Good point.

605
00:26:42,350 --> 00:26:43,350
Coco.

606
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:46,771
- Yeah. - What is your wish?

607
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:48,982
To not be here.

608
00:26:49,024 --> 00:26:50,108
That's too meta.

609
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:51,735
To be somewhere else.

610
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:53,236
Come on, we're losing 'em out there.

611
00:26:53,278 --> 00:26:55,405
To have a warm home

612
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:58,158
with a new family where I can watch the snow.

613
00:26:59,826 --> 00:27:01,161
Granted.

614
00:27:02,537 --> 00:27:04,122
Brief intermission.

615
00:27:04,164 --> 00:27:05,790
Say something about granting your wish.

616
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:08,668
Oh, I'm so happy Santa Paws is granting my wish.

617
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:09,502
Yes.

618
00:27:09,544 --> 00:27:10,962
Coco.

619
00:27:11,004 --> 00:27:14,382
Would you like to join our family and have a cozy home

620
00:27:14,424 --> 00:27:16,593
where you could watch the snow?

621
00:27:16,634 --> 00:27:17,719
Sure! Sounds great.

622
00:27:17,761 --> 00:27:18,845
Seriously?

623
00:27:19,471 --> 00:27:21,431
Wha... more than anything!

624
00:27:21,473 --> 00:27:22,390
There we go.

625
00:27:22,432 --> 00:27:24,267
And that, folks,

626
00:27:24,309 --> 00:27:27,103
is the true magic of Christmas.

627
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:29,356
As long as you listen to your heart,

628
00:27:29,773 --> 00:27:33,026
you will always find your home.

629
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:36,196
The end.

630
00:27:36,237 --> 00:27:37,237
Meow!

631
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,249
Should've practiced the accent.

632
00:27:48,291 --> 00:27:49,918
Esther was so much better at this.

633
00:27:51,378 --> 00:27:52,879
So, you do this every year?

634
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:55,632
Yeah. Last year it was Claw-La Land the Meow-sical.

635
00:27:55,673 --> 00:27:56,673
It was a huge hit.

636
00:27:57,175 --> 00:28:00,136
Hmm, okay, well, we need to bump up the attendance

637
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:02,555
on these events, so I am going to take over.

638
00:28:02,597 --> 00:28:04,265
Merry Catmas story-time.

639
00:28:04,307 --> 00:28:06,601
Which is a sentence I have never before said.

640
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:07,894
As in on your own.

641
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:09,354
You think you can do a better job?

642
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:10,897
Yes.

643
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:12,249
'Cause if there's one thing I do not need a script for,

644
00:28:12,273 --> 00:28:13,608
it is how to market events.

645
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:14,650
I got this.

646
00:28:15,026 --> 00:28:16,111
Perfect.

647
00:28:20,407 --> 00:28:21,991
- That was really cute. - Oh.

648
00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:25,203
- That whole plan. Yeah. - The... oh, yeah.

649
00:28:25,245 --> 00:28:26,371
Thank you.

650
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:27,664
Thanks.

651
00:28:27,705 --> 00:28:29,425
Ah, cats make everything better, am I right?

652
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:31,543
- I like cats. - Me too.

653
00:28:31,584 --> 00:28:32,669
- A lot. - Yeah.

654
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:33,878
- I love them. - Okay.

655
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,088
Yeah.

656
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:36,690
I'm getting that. Yeah. I don't think...

657
00:28:36,714 --> 00:28:39,110
You should really think about adding a fireman to the whole..

658
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:40,135
To the whole thing.

659
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:41,845
- Fireman? In the... - Yeah, cats...

660
00:28:41,886 --> 00:28:43,638
Cats love a man in a uniform.

661
00:28:44,848 --> 00:28:46,349
Isn't that right? Yeah.

662
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:48,101
I have one at home.

663
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:49,436
- A cat. - Fireman.

664
00:28:50,353 --> 00:28:51,604
- And a cat. - Oh.

665
00:28:51,646 --> 00:28:52,646
Two.

666
00:28:52,981 --> 00:28:54,399
Maybe three.

667
00:28:55,692 --> 00:28:56,985
- I'm gonna... - Okay.

668
00:30:18,191 --> 00:30:19,191
Hey.

669
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:21,653
It's okay. Hi.

670
00:30:22,904 --> 00:30:24,697
Did you fall? Come here.

671
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:29,661
Oh my goodness.

672
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:31,162
Aunt Esther?

673
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:32,622
What's the matter, honey?

674
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,916
Oh...

675
00:30:34,958 --> 00:30:36,709
Will you look at that.

676
00:30:37,293 --> 00:30:39,295
Oh. Poor thing.

677
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:42,257
We gotta get her inside and keep her warm.

678
00:30:42,298 --> 00:30:43,299
Come on.

679
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:44,843
Will she be okay?

680
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:47,512
Oh, I think you found her just in time.

681
00:30:48,137 --> 00:30:49,681
- She's purring. - Yeah!

682
00:30:50,848 --> 00:30:53,351
That's because she knows she's safe now.

683
00:30:56,145 --> 00:30:57,647
It's time for dinner.

684
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:58,982
You don't want to go to sleep.

685
00:31:29,262 --> 00:31:30,263
Oh.

686
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:31,681
- Hello. - Hello.

687
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:34,058
One woman caroling troop? Or...

688
00:31:35,184 --> 00:31:37,395
Um, I have a situation.

689
00:31:37,437 --> 00:31:38,438
- Oh. - Hmm.

690
00:31:38,896 --> 00:31:39,896
Tree-related.

691
00:31:40,148 --> 00:31:41,232
Oh, no.

692
00:31:41,274 --> 00:31:42,567
My tree is currently

693
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:44,276
au naturel.

694
00:31:44,652 --> 00:31:47,155
Oh, the old birthday suit.

695
00:31:48,448 --> 00:31:50,241
Most people normally decorate their trees.

696
00:31:50,283 --> 00:31:51,743
I was considering going for

697
00:31:51,784 --> 00:31:53,411
kind of a woodland minimalist theme.

698
00:31:53,453 --> 00:31:55,872
Landed on "gave up before I started"?

699
00:31:55,913 --> 00:31:58,207
Hey now, I have been extremely busy.

700
00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:00,585
Oh, I've seen, yeah, I've seen your posters everywhere.

701
00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:01,878
Even Frank's impressed.

702
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,920
He is.

703
00:32:04,631 --> 00:32:06,883
He doesn't like me, does he?

704
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,219
I don't think he loves the idea of losing his job.

705
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:15,433
Well, maybe

706
00:32:15,475 --> 00:32:17,578
maybe the developer I've been talking to will keep it a café.

707
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:18,770
Walter Morley?

708
00:32:19,312 --> 00:32:21,272
No, he won't. It'll be storage.

709
00:32:22,065 --> 00:32:24,901
But back to the issue of what to do with your tree.

710
00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:26,693
Yes.

711
00:32:26,903 --> 00:32:28,112
So I was wondering

712
00:32:28,905 --> 00:32:30,239
this is a favor...

713
00:32:30,823 --> 00:32:32,426
Do you have any extra Christmas decorations

714
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:33,660
I could borrow while I'm here?

715
00:32:34,827 --> 00:32:36,245
I might have one or two.

716
00:32:38,665 --> 00:32:39,999
- Come on in. - Oh.

717
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:43,961
- Do not judge. - Oh...

718
00:32:44,003 --> 00:32:49,676
Are you running some sort of holiday decoration side hustle?

719
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,357
You know, that sounded a lot like judging.

720
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:53,388
It's a lot.

721
00:32:53,429 --> 00:32:55,240
Yeah, I know. You know what, my mom and sister got me

722
00:32:55,264 --> 00:32:57,934
just a ton of stuff the first year in the house

723
00:32:57,976 --> 00:33:01,354
to make it feel more like home after, um...

724
00:33:01,854 --> 00:33:02,939
After what?

725
00:33:03,731 --> 00:33:06,609
Uh, after I, uh... uh, moved in.

726
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:07,860
Oh.

727
00:33:08,444 --> 00:33:13,908
Well, on top of being some sort of secret decor dealer,

728
00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:16,160
you have a serious vinyl situation happening.

729
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:18,204
Oh, yeah. I mean, it's just a showcase.

730
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:19,622
The milk crates, but...

731
00:33:19,664 --> 00:33:21,165
- Oh, it's working. - Uh...

732
00:33:21,207 --> 00:33:23,751
No, my uncle Teddy was a trombonist

733
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:25,878
in the US Army band, and, uh, -Oh.

734
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,006
He got me hooked on jazz when I was a kid, and...

735
00:33:29,048 --> 00:33:31,217
I don't know, I guess I just kinda ran with it.

736
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:33,427
Hmm.

737
00:33:33,469 --> 00:33:34,721
Uh, these,

738
00:33:34,762 --> 00:33:36,431
believe it or not, one day,

739
00:33:36,472 --> 00:33:38,558
uh, were originally

740
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:39,976
supposed to be shelves.

741
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:42,103
I was gonna turn this into a

742
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:46,023
kinda like a listening music studio for myself.

743
00:33:46,774 --> 00:33:48,234
Oh, it'd be perfect for that.

744
00:33:48,276 --> 00:33:49,152
Yeah.

745
00:33:49,193 --> 00:33:50,570
So, what's stopping you?

746
00:33:51,904 --> 00:33:53,364
Yeah, uh, life?

747
00:33:55,032 --> 00:33:56,909
I know exactly what you mean.

748
00:33:56,951 --> 00:33:57,952
Um...

749
00:33:58,786 --> 00:34:00,055
Tell you what, you start with these.

750
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:01,497
- Oh. - And then, uh,

751
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:03,624
I'll give you these and these.

752
00:34:03,666 --> 00:34:05,227
- And we can just get, let's... - Oh, these are...

753
00:34:10,465 --> 00:34:11,507
Okay.

754
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:14,218
Now, this... is a Christmas tree.

755
00:34:14,260 --> 00:34:15,428
This is a tree.

756
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:16,763
It's beautiful.

757
00:34:17,013 --> 00:34:20,141
Uh, what would your tree be like at home?

758
00:34:20,433 --> 00:34:21,433
Oh.

759
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:23,728
- Petite. - Oh.

760
00:34:23,770 --> 00:34:24,770
Um...

761
00:34:25,188 --> 00:34:28,775
Themed by soft pink twinkle lights.

762
00:34:28,816 --> 00:34:30,026
Glass ornaments.

763
00:34:30,068 --> 00:34:32,028
Glass? Oh, you're brave.

764
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:33,905
You definitely don't have pets.

765
00:34:33,946 --> 00:34:35,490
Neither do you, by the way.

766
00:34:35,531 --> 00:34:36,783
Which I think is

767
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:38,785
honestly, a little odd for a veterinarian.

768
00:34:39,118 --> 00:34:40,745
Uh, I did.

769
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:41,954
I had a dog.

770
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,750
George Bailey, uh, but he, uh,

771
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,835
crossed the Rainbow Bridge a couple of years ago.

772
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,023
I don't know, I guess I thought about getting another one.

773
00:34:51,047 --> 00:34:52,840
I just, I don't have the capacity.

774
00:34:54,133 --> 00:34:55,259
The capacity?

775
00:34:55,676 --> 00:34:57,762
I don't know, I'm... I'm busy.

776
00:34:57,804 --> 00:35:00,348
I'm a busy guy. I'm busy with stuff.

777
00:35:00,389 --> 00:35:01,307
- Got it. - And...

778
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:02,642
I'm a very important man.

779
00:35:02,683 --> 00:35:04,268
Oh, I see. Very important.

780
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:05,936
Well...

781
00:35:06,687 --> 00:35:09,315
You know, it is okay to take some time for yourself.

782
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:11,442
Noted.

783
00:35:15,404 --> 00:35:16,405
I'm gonna...

784
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:17,865
Yeah.

785
00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:19,534
Well, thank you for all of this.

786
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:20,535
Oh, yeah.

787
00:35:20,576 --> 00:35:21,994
You really did have a lot of extra.

788
00:35:22,036 --> 00:35:25,373
Listen, make no mistake, this is very calculated.

789
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:28,626
This is part of my charm offensive.

790
00:35:28,668 --> 00:35:30,503
So you will see the error of your ways

791
00:35:30,545 --> 00:35:31,879
in selling the café.

792
00:35:34,006 --> 00:35:35,633
Not gonna happen, Busy Ben.

793
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:37,468
Not with that attitude.

794
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:41,304
Bye.

795
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:47,561
Hmm.

796
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:01,810
- There you go. - Thank you for coming.

797
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:04,453
Hello.

798
00:36:04,495 --> 00:36:07,248
Oh, hello, ladies. Oh, and they're gone.

799
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:08,875
- Okay. - Hi.

800
00:36:08,916 --> 00:36:10,001
Hey, Mere.

801
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:11,919
- Sorry I'm late. - Yeah, no problem.

802
00:36:11,961 --> 00:36:13,588
- Dan had a work also. - Of course.

803
00:36:13,629 --> 00:36:16,507
Hey, uh, Olivia, this is Meredith, my sister.

804
00:36:16,549 --> 00:36:19,552
Mere, this is, uh, Olivia Pierce.

805
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:21,137
Oh, nice to meet you.

806
00:36:21,179 --> 00:36:22,805
I have heard so much about you.

807
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:26,434
Good things... mostly.

808
00:36:26,475 --> 00:36:27,935
Sorry, I need to go chase the kids.

809
00:36:27,977 --> 00:36:28,977
Thank you.

810
00:36:30,563 --> 00:36:31,689
Decent turnout.

811
00:36:32,607 --> 00:36:33,733
Yeah.

812
00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:35,526
Well, it's no puppet show.

813
00:36:35,568 --> 00:36:36,568
- Ouch. - Mmm.

814
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:38,279
Uh, we're ready.

815
00:36:38,321 --> 00:36:39,572
Why don't you, uh...

816
00:36:39,947 --> 00:36:41,866
- What? - Go up, say some words.

817
00:36:41,908 --> 00:36:43,117
Introduce it.

818
00:36:43,159 --> 00:36:45,161
We didn't say anything before the puppet show.

819
00:36:45,202 --> 00:36:47,163
Well, this is no puppet show.

820
00:36:47,204 --> 00:36:48,873
- Oh... - Well, we got more people here.

821
00:36:48,915 --> 00:36:50,583
You're a victim of your moderate success.

822
00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:52,269
- Get up there. - I don't know what to say.

823
00:36:52,293 --> 00:36:53,628
Just say whatever comes to min.

824
00:36:53,669 --> 00:36:54,837
Nothing comes to mind.

825
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:56,339
You saw me at the puppet show.

826
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:58,007
I don't ad-lib.

827
00:36:58,257 --> 00:36:59,342
Yeah. Good point.

828
00:36:59,383 --> 00:37:00,301
All right.

829
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:02,219
Gather ye round, everyone.

830
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:03,638
Gather ye round.

831
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:08,768
We shall begineth Merry Catmas story-time.

832
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:11,062
Friends, find your felines. Take a seat.

833
00:37:11,103 --> 00:37:12,605
First of all, I would just like

834
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:15,233
to thank everyone so much for being here.

835
00:37:15,274 --> 00:37:18,444
It's so incredibly important that we spend this time

836
00:37:18,486 --> 00:37:19,528
with these little guys,

837
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:21,239
because it builds social skills

838
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,658
that are so important when they're looking at adoption.

839
00:37:23,699 --> 00:37:24,742
So, thank you.

840
00:37:24,784 --> 00:37:26,077
Uh, full credit

841
00:37:26,118 --> 00:37:29,205
to Ms. Olivia Pierce, who organized the big event.

842
00:37:29,246 --> 00:37:32,625
In fact, she just informed me she has prepared a speech

843
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:35,419
that she would like to deliver so let's get her up here.

844
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:38,381
How about a big round of applause for Olivia Pierce.

845
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,721
- Thank you... for that, Ben. - Yeah. You bet.

846
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:47,032
Um, thank you for the warm welcome.

847
00:37:47,056 --> 00:37:48,057
Hi, everybody.

848
00:37:48,641 --> 00:37:51,811
Merry Catmas!

849
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:53,980
Uh, well, the idea is simple.

850
00:37:54,021 --> 00:37:55,523
You've already picked your kitties,

851
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:56,833
and now you're gonna pick a book

852
00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:58,317
and you're gonna read to them.

853
00:37:58,359 --> 00:38:00,479
Although I have to admit, I've never done this before.

854
00:38:00,528 --> 00:38:02,071
Super easy to read them.

855
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:03,990
Cats are very good listeners.

856
00:38:04,031 --> 00:38:05,408
Thank you for telling me.

857
00:38:05,449 --> 00:38:07,284
I'm excited to find out.

858
00:38:07,827 --> 00:38:09,120
And it's true.

859
00:38:09,161 --> 00:38:11,163
Stories are very important for people and pets...

860
00:38:13,708 --> 00:38:14,917
Wa... I have an idea.

861
00:38:15,751 --> 00:38:17,831
How about after we read them their Christmas stories,

862
00:38:18,045 --> 00:38:20,047
we tell their stories.

863
00:38:20,089 --> 00:38:22,675
Oh, maybe we could even draw their picture.

864
00:38:22,717 --> 00:38:24,343
And then we can use them

865
00:38:24,385 --> 00:38:27,805
for potential adopters to get to know their cats better.

866
00:38:28,431 --> 00:38:29,515
How does that sound?

867
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:31,517
Yeah! Yeah!

868
00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:32,727
Great.

869
00:38:32,768 --> 00:38:34,061
Uh, wonderful.

870
00:38:34,103 --> 00:38:37,064
Well, uh, grab your books and let's get reading.

871
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,566
Enjoy, everyone.

872
00:38:39,275 --> 00:38:41,420
You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were

873
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:43,362
getting a little soft for these cats.

874
00:38:43,404 --> 00:38:44,697
Oh, don't read into that.

875
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:46,615
I'm just doing what I do.

876
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:48,326
Yeah. Marketing. Yeah, I know.

877
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:49,660
Cold. Calculated.

878
00:38:51,454 --> 00:38:53,205
Oh, no one's reading to that cat?

879
00:38:54,623 --> 00:38:56,667
Oh, that's, uh, Gingerbread.

880
00:38:57,501 --> 00:38:59,587
He's actually been here the longest.

881
00:39:00,212 --> 00:39:01,922
Really? How long?

882
00:39:01,964 --> 00:39:03,507
Three years, give or take.

883
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:05,301
Why so long?

884
00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:09,805
He is a cat of particular taste.

885
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:12,308
Hasn't found his person yet.

886
00:39:14,727 --> 00:39:15,727
What's that?

887
00:39:16,062 --> 00:39:18,439
Story-time. Oh, yes. Of course, sorry.

888
00:39:18,481 --> 00:39:19,481
I gotta go.

889
00:39:43,672 --> 00:39:46,175
T'was the night before Christmas

890
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:48,177
when all through the house.

891
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:51,305
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

892
00:39:52,348 --> 00:39:54,266
That's good, 'cause you'd probably chase it.

893
00:39:55,726 --> 00:39:58,687
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

894
00:39:59,605 --> 00:40:01,398
Think Mom and Dad will let me keep her?

895
00:40:02,983 --> 00:40:04,026
We'll see.

896
00:40:07,696 --> 00:40:09,031
She needs a name.

897
00:40:11,158 --> 00:40:12,952
Noelle. Because it's Christmas.

898
00:40:12,993 --> 00:40:14,245
Oh...

899
00:40:14,286 --> 00:40:15,830
Noelle.

900
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:17,164
You're so sweet.

901
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:20,084
Look at you.

902
00:40:46,861 --> 00:40:47,861
Okay.

903
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:50,656
And there it is.

904
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:54,617
Oh.

905
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:57,288
Okay. I think it looks like you're settling in.

906
00:40:57,329 --> 00:40:59,248
Only until Christmas.

907
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:01,917
Then the sale is fast-tracked and I am on a plane back

908
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:03,586
to buy my dream condo.

909
00:41:03,627 --> 00:41:05,796
And you don't think that this veterinarian's gonna try

910
00:41:05,838 --> 00:41:07,423
to slow things down?

911
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:08,799
He gave me his word.

912
00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:11,844
And he is practically a boy scout he's so considerate.

913
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,220
Okay.

914
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:15,097
Are my ears deceiving me, or did you just get

915
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:16,307
a little, uh,

916
00:41:16,348 --> 00:41:18,142
dreamy when you talk about the good doctor?

917
00:41:18,184 --> 00:41:19,810
No.

918
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,122
I'm just telling you why, when he gives his word,

919
00:41:22,146 --> 00:41:23,355
I know he means it.

920
00:41:23,898 --> 00:41:24,982
Okay.

921
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:28,110
What are you doing over there?

922
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:31,906
I am looking at Ben Kane, doctor of veterinary medici...

923
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:33,699
Yep. Okay.

924
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:35,618
Yeah, there it is. Just as I suspected.

925
00:41:35,659 --> 00:41:37,369
He is cute.

926
00:41:37,745 --> 00:41:40,247
Vic, there is nothing going on between me and

927
00:41:41,415 --> 00:41:43,501
the admittedly cute vet.

928
00:41:44,126 --> 00:41:47,421
Other than planning a bunch of cat-themed holiday events.

929
00:41:47,463 --> 00:41:49,632
Okay, if you say so.

930
00:41:49,924 --> 00:41:54,053
So, what is next on your list of Christmas Catnip things?

931
00:41:55,554 --> 00:41:57,640
Mistletoe.

932
00:41:58,390 --> 00:41:59,642
I like mistletoe.

933
00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:12,130
Feel free to come by any time.

934
00:42:12,154 --> 00:42:13,656
Thank you, guys. Enjoy your evening.

935
00:42:15,991 --> 00:42:16,992
Whoa, hey!

936
00:42:17,534 --> 00:42:19,012
Are you trying to get Snowball adopted

937
00:42:19,036 --> 00:42:20,287
by someone other than Joshy?

938
00:42:20,329 --> 00:42:21,622
I would never.

939
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:23,499
No, Snowball is the ambassador for the event

940
00:42:23,541 --> 00:42:24,583
because he's so mellow.

941
00:42:24,625 --> 00:42:25,626
Smart.

942
00:42:25,668 --> 00:42:28,003
Mistletoe!

943
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:32,590
Uh-oh.

944
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:46,730
Very good. Very, very good.

945
00:42:46,772 --> 00:42:47,815
Bravo!

946
00:42:50,150 --> 00:42:52,653
Oh, that is a Merry Mistletoe Market tradition.

947
00:42:52,695 --> 00:42:54,071
You might notice that there's

948
00:42:54,113 --> 00:42:56,156
bundles of mistletoe hanging all over the market.

949
00:42:56,198 --> 00:42:59,326
And if you get caught standing underneath one by somebody else,

950
00:42:59,368 --> 00:43:00,536
then you have two choices.

951
00:43:00,577 --> 00:43:02,121
You can kiss, or...

952
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:05,791
You can sing a Christmas song loudly in public.

953
00:43:08,544 --> 00:43:09,628
Oh, I already checked.

954
00:43:10,296 --> 00:43:11,630
I looked. We're safe.

955
00:43:12,172 --> 00:43:13,465
But step lightly.

956
00:43:13,507 --> 00:43:14,633
It's dangerous out there.

957
00:43:21,056 --> 00:43:22,224
Hi, Snowball.

958
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:24,893
Joshy, sweetie.

959
00:43:24,935 --> 00:43:26,579
We'll be at the booth next to you, okay?

960
00:43:26,603 --> 00:43:27,605
Okay, Molly.

961
00:43:31,191 --> 00:43:33,277
Oh, Joshy loves that cat.

962
00:43:33,319 --> 00:43:34,987
- Yeah. - He's such a sweetheart.

963
00:43:35,029 --> 00:43:37,281
Actually, I don't know if you know his story, but...

964
00:43:37,323 --> 00:43:39,158
Joshy is in foster care,

965
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:41,785
and Molly and Luke are looking after him.

966
00:43:41,827 --> 00:43:43,707
They bring him by the café a couple times a week

967
00:43:43,746 --> 00:43:45,331
to play with Snowball.

968
00:43:45,372 --> 00:43:47,458
It's kind of his safe space.

969
00:43:47,499 --> 00:43:48,499
Oh.

970
00:43:48,917 --> 00:43:50,794
Well why don't they adopt Snowball?

971
00:43:50,836 --> 00:43:52,147
They're waiting for Joshy's adoption

972
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:53,213
to go through first.

973
00:43:53,255 --> 00:43:54,590
It just hasn't happened yet.

974
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:55,883
Oh. Why?

975
00:43:55,924 --> 00:43:58,510
I guess adoption is rarely linear.

976
00:43:58,552 --> 00:44:00,152
They have no idea how long it could take.

977
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:01,180
It could take months.

978
00:44:02,890 --> 00:44:04,516
And the café could be sold by then.

979
00:44:07,936 --> 00:44:10,606
Mistletoe!

980
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:14,817
Yeah.

981
00:44:29,958 --> 00:44:30,918
Thank you.

982
00:44:30,959 --> 00:44:32,252
A lovely rendition.

983
00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:33,962
Olivia Pierce.

984
00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:35,047
Walter Morley.

985
00:44:35,089 --> 00:44:36,548
Nice to finally meet you in person.

986
00:44:43,263 --> 00:44:44,973
Walter Morley, it's very nice to meet you.

987
00:44:45,015 --> 00:44:46,141
It's great that you came.

988
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,810
Walter.

989
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:49,371
Surprised to see you out shopping local.

990
00:44:49,395 --> 00:44:50,979
I make an exception for the holidays.

991
00:44:51,855 --> 00:44:54,233
It's hard to resist the Merry Mistletoe Market.

992
00:44:54,566 --> 00:44:56,169
Made a lot of changes to the booth this year.

993
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:58,070
It's been a lot of unexpected fun.

994
00:44:58,112 --> 00:44:59,905
Good. Listen, I'll have the paperwork ready

995
00:44:59,947 --> 00:45:02,116
in time for the Christmas party, like we discussed.

996
00:45:02,157 --> 00:45:03,242
Christmas party?

997
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:05,994
It's the last of the events I committed to,

998
00:45:06,036 --> 00:45:07,913
so everything should be wrapped up by then.

999
00:45:07,955 --> 00:45:09,415
Perfect! Once you're done

1000
00:45:09,456 --> 00:45:11,250
with your Catnip Christmas obligations,

1001
00:45:11,291 --> 00:45:13,544
we can all sign and make the sale official.

1002
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:14,628
I'll see you both then.

1003
00:45:14,670 --> 00:45:16,171
Okay, great. Good night, Walter.

1004
00:45:16,839 --> 00:45:18,257
So, he's gonna bring the paperwork

1005
00:45:18,757 --> 00:45:20,008
to the Christmas party.

1006
00:45:20,717 --> 00:45:22,803
Yeah, there's no reason to drag things out.

1007
00:45:22,845 --> 00:45:23,846
Yeah. No, no.

1008
00:45:24,388 --> 00:45:26,640
Ben... you said you wouldn't drag this out.

1009
00:45:26,682 --> 00:45:27,882
I'm not gonna drag things out.

1010
00:45:34,231 --> 00:45:36,191
Do you wanna race? Race to the kitties!

1011
00:45:36,775 --> 00:45:38,360
What's the password?

1012
00:45:38,402 --> 00:45:40,529
Oh, there you are.

1013
00:45:40,571 --> 00:45:43,574
The twins insisted on seeing Uncle Ben before we left.

1014
00:45:43,615 --> 00:45:45,033
Okay, I gotta get this.

1015
00:45:45,075 --> 00:45:46,577
Hold on. Oh...

1016
00:45:46,618 --> 00:45:48,746
Very nice. Okay, okay.

1017
00:45:48,787 --> 00:45:50,748
Okay, I'm sending these to Mom and Dad right now

1018
00:45:50,789 --> 00:45:53,041
because they have been begging me for updates.

1019
00:45:53,083 --> 00:45:54,585
Hi, I'm Dan, Meredith's husband.

1020
00:45:54,626 --> 00:45:56,462
Hi. It's nice to meet you.

1021
00:45:56,503 --> 00:45:58,022
Mere told me you knocked it outta the park

1022
00:45:58,046 --> 00:45:59,173
with the Catmas story-time.

1023
00:45:59,214 --> 00:46:00,757
She did an incredible job.

1024
00:46:00,799 --> 00:46:01,884
- Truly. - Oh.

1025
00:46:01,925 --> 00:46:03,343
Speaking of fun things,

1026
00:46:03,385 --> 00:46:05,196
Olivia, do you have plans for dinner tomorrow night?

1027
00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:06,597
I don't have any plans.

1028
00:46:06,638 --> 00:46:08,032
Just coming up with ideas for the Christmas party.

1029
00:46:08,056 --> 00:46:09,349
Perfect!

1030
00:46:09,391 --> 00:46:11,894
We can discuss ideas over dinner at our place.

1031
00:46:11,935 --> 00:46:15,022
Dan makes the most amazing lasagne.

1032
00:46:15,814 --> 00:46:17,483
Not gonna lie, it's pretty good.

1033
00:46:17,524 --> 00:46:18,567
And, Ben.

1034
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:20,360
You're on dessert duty. Again.

1035
00:46:20,402 --> 00:46:21,695
Like, every Sunday.

1036
00:46:21,737 --> 00:46:23,256
Well, that's a great way to find out. Thank you.

1037
00:46:24,656 --> 00:46:27,075
I'd love to, but I insist on bringing something.

1038
00:46:27,117 --> 00:46:28,744
Oh, no, that's not necessary.

1039
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:30,162
I will not say no.

1040
00:46:30,204 --> 00:46:31,371
Bring whatever you like.

1041
00:46:36,418 --> 00:46:38,021
That's wonderful, thank you. I'll be in touch.

1042
00:46:38,045 --> 00:46:39,421
Thank you so much.

1043
00:46:39,463 --> 00:46:40,463
Have a good night.

1044
00:46:41,215 --> 00:46:42,215
So.

1045
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:44,235
What should I bring to Meredith tomorrow night?

1046
00:46:44,259 --> 00:46:45,219
- Oh. - Food wise.

1047
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:46,178
Yeah. Good question.

1048
00:46:46,220 --> 00:46:47,763
Uh, whatever you like.

1049
00:46:47,804 --> 00:46:48,931
Ooh.

1050
00:46:48,972 --> 00:46:50,432
I don't know if I have any cookware.

1051
00:46:51,266 --> 00:46:52,559
Might all be in boxes.

1052
00:46:52,601 --> 00:46:54,770
Well, you could always come to my place and

1053
00:46:55,145 --> 00:46:57,345
cook there, and then, you know we'll head over together.

1054
00:46:58,023 --> 00:46:58,941
Are you sure?

1055
00:46:58,982 --> 00:46:59,982
Yeah.

1056
00:47:00,984 --> 00:47:01,902
Tomorrow night.

1057
00:47:01,944 --> 00:47:02,944
Okay.

1058
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:04,905
- Should we pack up? - Yes.

1059
00:47:04,947 --> 00:47:05,989
Wonderful.

1060
00:47:15,457 --> 00:47:17,417
I never thought I'd meet someone who shared

1061
00:47:17,459 --> 00:47:19,378
my appreciation for espresso.

1062
00:47:19,419 --> 00:47:21,129
Well, you play your cards right,

1063
00:47:21,171 --> 00:47:22,982
maybe I'll bring one to your house one morning.

1064
00:47:23,006 --> 00:47:24,006
Oh.

1065
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:25,425
What kinda beans you use?

1066
00:47:25,467 --> 00:47:26,802
St. Helena's.

1067
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:29,096
Mere says that I'm a coffee snob,

1068
00:47:29,137 --> 00:47:31,181
but I prefer just a general snob.

1069
00:47:32,474 --> 00:47:34,685
So, that's why you partnered on the café.

1070
00:47:34,726 --> 00:47:36,478
You have surprising layers, Ben.

1071
00:47:37,396 --> 00:47:38,939
Much like this dish that we're making.

1072
00:47:38,981 --> 00:47:39,940
What is this?

1073
00:47:39,982 --> 00:47:41,900
Oh, this is a Christmas tian.

1074
00:47:42,276 --> 00:47:43,610
What makes it Christmas?

1075
00:47:44,486 --> 00:47:46,363
- Mostly the colors I'm using. - Oh.

1076
00:47:46,405 --> 00:47:48,699
Red tomatoes, white onions, green zucchinis.

1077
00:47:49,449 --> 00:47:52,536
My mom learned to make it one December in Provence.

1078
00:47:52,578 --> 00:47:55,247
And then after that, she would make it most holidays.

1079
00:47:55,289 --> 00:47:56,915
Well, whenever we were somewhere

1080
00:47:56,957 --> 00:47:58,117
that would allow for cooking.

1081
00:47:58,709 --> 00:47:59,918
Allow for cooking?

1082
00:48:02,504 --> 00:48:04,464
My parents were nomads.

1083
00:48:04,506 --> 00:48:06,800
Mom was a photographer, Dad's in finance.

1084
00:48:06,842 --> 00:48:08,677
So, we traveled so much when I was growing up,

1085
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,846
you would think we were running from the authorities.

1086
00:48:12,139 --> 00:48:14,224
- We weren't. - Okay, good, 'cause...

1087
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:16,306
- That you know of. - I'm not a big fan of criminal.

1088
00:48:18,312 --> 00:48:20,105
Where are they now? Your folks.

1089
00:48:20,147 --> 00:48:22,190
Oh, they are currently in Mallorca,

1090
00:48:22,232 --> 00:48:24,860
till the end of the year, and then they go to Cape Town,

1091
00:48:24,902 --> 00:48:25,736
I believe.

1092
00:48:25,777 --> 00:48:27,029
- Wow. - What about yours?

1093
00:48:27,070 --> 00:48:28,322
Uh, Arizona.

1094
00:48:28,363 --> 00:48:29,531
They retired there.

1095
00:48:29,573 --> 00:48:31,408
They move around quite a bit too.

1096
00:48:31,450 --> 00:48:33,744
You know, golf course to the pool, pool to the patio.

1097
00:48:33,785 --> 00:48:35,430
Maybe back in the pool, depending on the day.

1098
00:48:35,454 --> 00:48:37,998
Well, that doesn't sound so bad.

1099
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,916
Doesn't sound so bad.

1100
00:48:39,958 --> 00:48:44,212
So, do you have a place that you would consider home?

1101
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:46,757
No, we were never in any place long enough.

1102
00:48:46,798 --> 00:48:48,467
I mean, not anything like you have here.

1103
00:48:48,508 --> 00:48:49,760
Hmm.

1104
00:48:49,801 --> 00:48:51,470
Although I guess the closest thing I have

1105
00:48:51,511 --> 00:48:52,763
is my Aunt Esther's.

1106
00:48:53,513 --> 00:48:55,325
My parents would occasionally leave me with her

1107
00:48:55,349 --> 00:48:56,949
if they were going out of town for work.

1108
00:48:57,559 --> 00:48:58,894
She talked about you.

1109
00:49:00,938 --> 00:49:01,938
She did?

1110
00:49:02,522 --> 00:49:05,651
Every time you would send a postcard from one of your

1111
00:49:06,193 --> 00:49:09,613
far-flung destinations, she'd put it up in the café.

1112
00:49:09,655 --> 00:49:12,074
She'd brag about you to anybody who would listen.

1113
00:49:12,115 --> 00:49:13,116
It was really sweet.

1114
00:49:14,201 --> 00:49:15,952
I didn't even make it home for her memorial.

1115
00:49:17,037 --> 00:49:18,455
It happened really fast.

1116
00:49:19,206 --> 00:49:21,083
Yeah, I still feel really badly about it.

1117
00:49:21,708 --> 00:49:23,502
And that I didn't spend enough time with her.

1118
00:49:27,839 --> 00:49:30,342
And then she gave me half the cat café, which...

1119
00:49:30,384 --> 00:49:31,802
I still don't know why.

1120
00:49:33,303 --> 00:49:35,430
Maybe it was as simple as she loved you.

1121
00:49:50,779 --> 00:49:52,614
Oh, I can't eat another bite, I'm sorry.

1122
00:49:52,656 --> 00:49:54,825
Oh, come on, it's pecan pie. It's your favorite.

1123
00:49:54,866 --> 00:49:56,493
- Maybe one more bite. - Yeah.

1124
00:49:56,535 --> 00:49:57,619
That's what I thought.

1125
00:49:57,661 --> 00:50:00,831
The monsters are officially asleep.

1126
00:50:01,748 --> 00:50:04,918
Uncle Ben's powers of bedtime story reading

1127
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,295
are officially undefeated.

1128
00:50:08,005 --> 00:50:09,881
They adore you.

1129
00:50:09,923 --> 00:50:11,842
Oh, they adore stalling bedtime.

1130
00:50:12,634 --> 00:50:14,553
- Yeah. - They do.

1131
00:50:14,594 --> 00:50:18,014
Olivia, the vegetable tian was amazing.

1132
00:50:18,056 --> 00:50:19,933
Thank you. Well, I can't take all the credit.

1133
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:20,976
Ben helped.

1134
00:50:21,018 --> 00:50:22,978
Yes, I, uh, watched.

1135
00:50:23,019 --> 00:50:24,288
- Moral support. - Yes.

1136
00:50:24,312 --> 00:50:25,790
- Which you need when cooking. - That's big.

1137
00:50:25,814 --> 00:50:26,857
That's a big piece.

1138
00:50:26,898 --> 00:50:29,359
You two should team up more often.

1139
00:50:33,196 --> 00:50:36,283
So, what's the next big event at the Catnip Café?

1140
00:50:36,324 --> 00:50:38,994
Uh, Catnip pajama party and movie night.

1141
00:50:39,036 --> 00:50:40,620
And we've got a special screening of.

1142
00:50:40,662 --> 00:50:42,706
The "Sassy Cat Saves Christmas".

1143
00:50:42,748 --> 00:50:43,748
Oh.

1144
00:50:44,207 --> 00:50:45,643
- Ben asked for that. - What?

1145
00:50:45,667 --> 00:50:47,127
- Mm-hmm. - It's a classic.

1146
00:50:47,169 --> 00:50:48,253
It's... it's great.

1147
00:50:48,295 --> 00:50:49,647
And what about the Christmas party?

1148
00:50:49,671 --> 00:50:51,006
Where is that gonna be?

1149
00:50:51,047 --> 00:50:52,734
Oh, I have been talking to Abby and her husband

1150
00:50:52,758 --> 00:50:54,092
at Juniper and Pine.

1151
00:50:58,054 --> 00:50:59,181
What?

1152
00:50:59,222 --> 00:51:00,724
No, don't. Don't do that.

1153
00:51:00,766 --> 00:51:02,559
There's no what. There's... no.

1154
00:51:02,601 --> 00:51:03,786
- Did I... I... - no.

1155
00:51:03,810 --> 00:51:05,329
I thought you guys were friends, 'cause.

1156
00:51:05,353 --> 00:51:07,773
- Yes, we are friends. - You had the gutter scoop thin.

1157
00:51:07,814 --> 00:51:10,025
- Yes. They're lovely people. - Okay.

1158
00:51:10,067 --> 00:51:11,568
Tell me I didn't put my foot in it.

1159
00:51:11,610 --> 00:51:12,569
You did not.

1160
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:14,279
Abby's Ben's ex-fiancée.

1161
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:15,989
There it is. Okay.

1162
00:51:16,031 --> 00:51:17,115
Oh.

1163
00:51:17,157 --> 00:51:18,217
They were high school sweethearts,

1164
00:51:18,241 --> 00:51:20,202
and then Abby went away to college.

1165
00:51:20,243 --> 00:51:22,329
They found each other again years later,

1166
00:51:22,370 --> 00:51:23,410
and then they got engaged.

1167
00:51:23,789 --> 00:51:27,584
Yes, and then we decided that we were better off

1168
00:51:27,626 --> 00:51:29,377
as friends, which we are.

1169
00:51:29,419 --> 00:51:31,171
Thank you for that, uh,

1170
00:51:31,213 --> 00:51:34,508
incredibly detailed re-telling of my failed love life.

1171
00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:37,135
Oh, I'm sure the right person will come along someday.

1172
00:51:41,056 --> 00:51:42,682
Um... wine?

1173
00:51:43,141 --> 00:51:44,101
Olivia?

1174
00:51:44,142 --> 00:51:45,244
I would love some, thank you.

1175
00:51:45,268 --> 00:51:46,353
- Dan? Mere? - Please, yeah.

1176
00:51:46,394 --> 00:51:47,562
Uh, no thank you.

1177
00:51:54,236 --> 00:51:56,279
Well, I guess the secret's out.

1178
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,280
What?

1179
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:01,660
What? What se... what?

1180
00:52:01,701 --> 00:52:03,161
You're gonna be an uncle again.

1181
00:52:10,752 --> 00:52:12,295
- For real? - Yes!

1182
00:52:13,713 --> 00:52:16,007
Aww, congratulations!

1183
00:52:16,049 --> 00:52:17,509
Thank you, thank you.

1184
00:52:19,678 --> 00:52:21,680
- Thanks, man. - Oh my gosh!

1185
00:52:21,721 --> 00:52:23,682
Wow, that's a pretty good secret.

1186
00:52:23,723 --> 00:52:25,141
- Yeah. - Are you nuts?

1187
00:52:25,183 --> 00:52:26,869
- I don't know. Maybe. - What are you thinking?

1188
00:52:26,893 --> 00:52:28,895
She is. She is. And so am I!

1189
00:52:28,937 --> 00:52:30,438
It takes two to tango, pal.

1190
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:31,481
I'm so happy.

1191
00:52:47,581 --> 00:52:48,581
So.

1192
00:52:49,124 --> 00:52:51,585
When Meredith mentioned having another baby,

1193
00:52:52,419 --> 00:52:54,129
did I misread or

1194
00:52:54,754 --> 00:52:56,047
did you have a reaction?

1195
00:52:57,632 --> 00:52:58,925
- Caught that, did ya? - Hmm.

1196
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,470
Uh, no, y-you didn't misread.

1197
00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:05,140
It kinda of just slipped out.

1198
00:53:05,765 --> 00:53:07,392
Uh, I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm...

1199
00:53:07,434 --> 00:53:10,186
I'm a thousand percent happy for those guys.

1200
00:53:11,771 --> 00:53:12,771
But...

1201
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,318
Sometimes I feel like everyone around me

1202
00:53:16,359 --> 00:53:18,612
has all these amazing things going on,

1203
00:53:18,653 --> 00:53:19,821
and I'm kinda just

1204
00:53:20,739 --> 00:53:21,781
standing still.

1205
00:53:22,324 --> 00:53:24,993
Like Mere having baby three on the way

1206
00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:28,038
really drove that home for me in a pretty big way.

1207
00:53:29,456 --> 00:53:30,540
Do you want kids?

1208
00:53:31,082 --> 00:53:33,210
I do. I mean, I did, yeah.

1209
00:53:33,251 --> 00:53:35,086
You're still young, you have plenty of time.

1210
00:53:35,128 --> 00:53:36,213
I don't feel young.

1211
00:53:38,381 --> 00:53:40,592
What about you? You want kids?

1212
00:53:40,634 --> 00:53:41,760
Um...

1213
00:53:42,594 --> 00:53:43,678
I do want kids.

1214
00:53:45,388 --> 00:53:46,556
But I am

1215
00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:49,768
so busy I can't take care of an animal,

1216
00:53:49,809 --> 00:53:52,020
let alone a human being.

1217
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:53,355
Well, you know,

1218
00:53:53,939 --> 00:53:57,817
I mean, historically, people have found a partner

1219
00:53:57,859 --> 00:54:00,237
to do the whole kid thing with.

1220
00:54:00,278 --> 00:54:01,655
Helps with, uh,

1221
00:54:01,696 --> 00:54:03,365
bringing groceries in from the car.

1222
00:54:03,406 --> 00:54:04,616
I don't know.

1223
00:54:04,658 --> 00:54:06,135
Maybe someone to have a glass of wine with

1224
00:54:06,159 --> 00:54:07,661
after a long day of

1225
00:54:08,370 --> 00:54:10,288
scraping crayons out of the carpet.

1226
00:54:13,792 --> 00:54:15,001
That would be nice, too.

1227
00:54:20,715 --> 00:54:21,967
- Yeah. - Yeah.

1228
00:54:22,884 --> 00:54:24,260
Well, um...

1229
00:54:25,387 --> 00:54:27,639
Good night.

1230
00:55:20,567 --> 00:55:21,567
Okay.

1231
00:55:22,944 --> 00:55:24,279
I understand.

1232
00:55:26,031 --> 00:55:27,073
Love you too.

1233
00:55:34,205 --> 00:55:35,206
They say no?

1234
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:38,918
Mom said it wouldn't be fair to take care of a kitten

1235
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,879
when they're never home and always busy.

1236
00:55:41,463 --> 00:55:43,173
What's gonna happen to her now?

1237
00:55:43,214 --> 00:55:44,466
Well

1238
00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:46,801
we can take her to a shelter tomorrow and...

1239
00:55:47,385 --> 00:55:48,470
What if no one picks her?

1240
00:55:48,511 --> 00:55:50,221
What if she's all alone at Christmas?

1241
00:55:53,224 --> 00:55:54,224
Or...

1242
00:55:55,894 --> 00:55:57,062
I could keep her.

1243
00:55:57,771 --> 00:55:58,771
Really?

1244
00:55:59,773 --> 00:56:02,400
Suppose I could use a little company around here.

1245
00:56:03,777 --> 00:56:05,362
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

1246
00:56:05,403 --> 00:56:06,613
Oh.

1247
00:56:06,654 --> 00:56:07,822
Oh, you're welcome.

1248
00:56:08,948 --> 00:56:10,784
Okay, kitty cat.

1249
00:56:10,825 --> 00:56:11,826
It's you and me now.

1250
00:56:19,918 --> 00:56:22,879
I knew you had a crush on him.

1251
00:56:23,254 --> 00:56:26,925
Okay, maybe it's a small, little crush. Tiny!

1252
00:56:26,966 --> 00:56:29,803
But there's no point because I'm leaving in a few days.

1253
00:56:29,844 --> 00:56:31,638
Yeah, well, there's never a point

1254
00:56:31,679 --> 00:56:33,181
to a crush, it's just a crush.

1255
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:34,265
Yeah, well,

1256
00:56:35,016 --> 00:56:36,059
I'm still leaving.

1257
00:56:36,101 --> 00:56:37,143
Yeah, but...

1258
00:56:37,185 --> 00:56:38,603
There are laptops

1259
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:40,396
and phones with screens.

1260
00:56:40,438 --> 00:56:42,541
Vic, I don't have time to date someone in my own city,

1261
00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:44,109
let alone someone across the country.

1262
00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:45,443
That is so not true.

1263
00:56:45,485 --> 00:56:47,213
I mean, how many weekend nights have you spent

1264
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:48,696
watching movies with me and Sarah?

1265
00:56:48,738 --> 00:56:50,824
Yeah, but I love spending time with you and Sarah.

1266
00:56:50,865 --> 00:56:52,033
If you met a guy

1267
00:56:52,075 --> 00:56:53,827
who you liked enough to spend time with,

1268
00:56:53,868 --> 00:56:55,203
then you would just find a way.

1269
00:56:58,414 --> 00:56:59,499
Probably.

1270
00:56:59,541 --> 00:57:01,668
Definitely. So, find a way.

1271
00:57:01,709 --> 00:57:03,086
You make it sound so easy.

1272
00:57:03,128 --> 00:57:05,505
Yeah, well, sometimes it just is, okay?

1273
00:57:07,173 --> 00:57:08,842
I have to get going. I am running late.

1274
00:57:08,883 --> 00:57:10,218
Go, go, go! I love you.

1275
00:57:10,260 --> 00:57:11,261
Bye.

1276
00:57:20,478 --> 00:57:21,478
Hello.

1277
00:57:21,980 --> 00:57:22,980
Oh.

1278
00:57:24,023 --> 00:57:25,275
Nice to see your face.

1279
00:57:25,316 --> 00:57:26,818
- Hi. - hi.

1280
00:57:26,860 --> 00:57:28,319
I brought you some excellent beans

1281
00:57:28,361 --> 00:57:29,612
for your excellent machine.

1282
00:57:29,654 --> 00:57:31,865
That was incredibly thoughtful, thank you.

1283
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:34,200
Lovely.

1284
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:36,285
Shelves?

1285
00:57:36,911 --> 00:57:38,037
- Shelves. - Oh.

1286
00:57:38,329 --> 00:57:39,372
Need any help?

1287
00:57:41,166 --> 00:57:42,167
Um...

1288
00:57:42,208 --> 00:57:43,460
Yeah, I would love that.

1289
00:57:43,501 --> 00:57:45,044
Can you operate a sander?

1290
00:57:45,086 --> 00:57:46,086
No.

1291
00:57:47,422 --> 00:57:48,715
But I can stain.

1292
00:57:48,756 --> 00:57:49,674
All right.

1293
00:57:49,716 --> 00:57:50,716
Well...

1294
00:57:51,885 --> 00:57:53,386
Throw those guys on.

1295
00:57:53,928 --> 00:57:54,928
All right.

1296
00:58:11,237 --> 00:58:12,238
Well done.

1297
00:58:13,072 --> 00:58:15,825
Um, thank you, by the way.

1298
00:58:16,117 --> 00:58:17,577
You're welcome, by the way.

1299
00:58:17,619 --> 00:58:20,163
No, I mean, you know, the other night, you, uh,

1300
00:58:20,788 --> 00:58:23,625
you said something pretty profound about, you know,

1301
00:58:23,666 --> 00:58:25,543
taking time for myself, and, uh,

1302
00:58:26,252 --> 00:58:28,505
this is me taking time for myself.

1303
00:58:28,546 --> 00:58:29,546
Yeah.

1304
00:58:32,509 --> 00:58:33,718
- Uh-oh. - Oh...

1305
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,512
Did someone's dog eat a Christmas ribbon?

1306
00:58:35,553 --> 00:58:36,971
Much, much worse.

1307
00:58:37,013 --> 00:58:39,933
Max, the pug, it seems, has had a run-in with a skunk

1308
00:58:39,974 --> 00:58:41,142
- on his walk. - Oh, no, no.

1309
00:58:41,184 --> 00:58:42,852
So, that's my day.

1310
00:58:44,395 --> 00:58:45,939
I- I have

1311
00:58:45,980 --> 00:58:48,775
really enjoyed your company doing these Christmassy events.

1312
00:58:50,401 --> 00:58:51,861
This has been a nightmare for me.

1313
00:58:54,989 --> 00:58:56,532
I've enjoyed it too.

1314
00:58:56,574 --> 00:58:57,784
Um...

1315
00:58:57,825 --> 00:58:59,178
I'm excited to see what you come up with

1316
00:58:59,202 --> 00:59:00,328
for the pajama party.

1317
00:59:00,370 --> 00:59:02,205
Well... picture this.

1318
00:59:02,664 --> 00:59:04,040
- Close your eyes. - Okay.

1319
00:59:04,082 --> 00:59:05,833
Imagine it, see it in your mind's eye.

1320
00:59:05,875 --> 00:59:07,043
Oh, my. There it is.

1321
00:59:07,085 --> 00:59:08,461
A winter wonderland.

1322
00:59:08,503 --> 00:59:09,587
Okay.

1323
00:59:09,629 --> 00:59:10,630
Oh, oh.

1324
00:59:10,672 --> 00:59:12,340
Oh, no. What now?

1325
00:59:12,882 --> 00:59:14,592
Uh, that's my sister threatening to quit

1326
00:59:14,634 --> 00:59:17,011
if I don't deal with the skunk situation, so.

1327
00:59:17,262 --> 00:59:19,681
That is okay, gotta do what you gotta do, so...

1328
00:59:19,722 --> 00:59:22,100
Hey, remember the... the cats can't eat

1329
00:59:22,141 --> 00:59:23,494
- the fake snow. You got it. - The fake snow!

1330
00:59:23,518 --> 00:59:24,936
I know, I read it in the binder.

1331
00:59:24,978 --> 00:59:26,187
You read the binder, okay.

1332
00:59:26,229 --> 00:59:27,605
Good luck.

1333
00:59:41,452 --> 00:59:42,453
Hi, buddy.

1334
00:59:43,288 --> 00:59:45,123
Are you excited for this movie, buddy?

1335
00:59:45,164 --> 00:59:47,250
He always checks to make sure no one's claimed him.

1336
00:59:47,292 --> 00:59:49,627
Oh, well, it looks like Snowball's claimed him.

1337
00:59:55,592 --> 00:59:57,051
Hey, you going inside?

1338
00:59:57,093 --> 00:59:58,970
Or you gonna watch the movie from out here?

1339
00:59:59,012 --> 01:00:00,638
Oh, I was, uh

1340
01:00:01,055 --> 01:00:02,265
yeah, going in.

1341
01:00:02,307 --> 01:00:04,183
- Are you, you going in? - Yeah.

1342
01:00:04,225 --> 01:00:06,436
I wanna talk to Olivia about the Christmas party.

1343
01:00:06,477 --> 01:00:09,606
Plus... cats, movies. Pretty hard to resist.

1344
01:00:10,023 --> 01:00:12,025
It's really good of you and Grant to let her

1345
01:00:12,066 --> 01:00:13,234
use the restaurant.

1346
01:00:13,276 --> 01:00:14,694
Oh, yeah. We're happy to help.

1347
01:00:14,736 --> 01:00:16,946
Maybe we can make it even, like, a... annual thing.

1348
01:00:19,949 --> 01:00:21,492
- What? - Yeah. No.

1349
01:00:21,534 --> 01:00:23,202
Uh, I would love nothing more.

1350
01:00:25,246 --> 01:00:26,331
We should get in there.

1351
01:00:26,372 --> 01:00:27,558
I think they wanna start the movie.

1352
01:00:27,582 --> 01:00:28,582
Oh, you like her.

1353
01:00:29,292 --> 01:00:30,877
- What? - I know that look.

1354
01:00:30,918 --> 01:00:31,919
- Oh, do you? - Yes.

1355
01:00:31,961 --> 01:00:33,004
- Yeah? - I do.

1356
01:00:33,046 --> 01:00:34,630
Okay.

1357
01:00:34,672 --> 01:00:37,884
Ben, no one deserves to find the right person more than you.

1358
01:00:39,635 --> 01:00:40,635
Thanks.

1359
01:00:42,972 --> 01:00:45,034
You could probably use a few more inches on those pant legs.

1360
01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:46,017
All right.

1361
01:00:46,059 --> 01:00:47,161
She's coming.

1362
01:00:47,185 --> 01:00:48,785
You guys, I just gotta get right by you.

1363
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,314
Oh my goodness, hello.

1364
01:00:51,356 --> 01:00:52,357
Hi.

1365
01:00:52,398 --> 01:00:54,150
Oh, thank you for coming.

1366
01:00:56,986 --> 01:00:57,945
Wow.

1367
01:00:57,987 --> 01:00:59,530
Are you wearing a onesie?

1368
01:00:59,572 --> 01:01:01,574
You better believe it. It's a real fleece.

1369
01:01:01,616 --> 01:01:02,784
- Feel it. - Wow.

1370
01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:04,077
- Yeah. - Oh, that is.

1371
01:01:04,118 --> 01:01:05,328
That's right.

1372
01:01:05,370 --> 01:01:06,889
Got this baby the first year we did this.

1373
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:08,081
Saw no reason to change.

1374
01:01:08,122 --> 01:01:09,874
- Very on brand. - Yeah.

1375
01:01:09,916 --> 01:01:11,918
Place looks incredible. What a turnout.

1376
01:01:11,959 --> 01:01:12,877
Thank you.

1377
01:01:12,919 --> 01:01:14,063
I'm glad it meets your approval.

1378
01:01:14,087 --> 01:01:16,255
Yes. And then some.

1379
01:01:16,297 --> 01:01:19,217
Shall we, uh, introduce the-the movie?

1380
01:01:19,258 --> 01:01:22,261
I actually invited Frank to do the honors.

1381
01:01:22,303 --> 01:01:24,972
'Cause if you think about it, this place is partially his to.

1382
01:01:25,556 --> 01:01:26,556
Yeah.

1383
01:01:27,100 --> 01:01:29,102
Okay! Welcome, everyone.

1384
01:01:29,143 --> 01:01:30,311
How are we doing today?

1385
01:01:30,353 --> 01:01:31,646
Yeah?

1386
01:01:32,230 --> 01:01:35,692
Welcome to the Catnip Christmas pajama movie night.

1387
01:01:37,151 --> 01:01:38,277
Yeah!

1388
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:40,697
Everyone, grab a blanket and a buddy.

1389
01:01:40,738 --> 01:01:41,989
It can be a cat

1390
01:01:42,031 --> 01:01:43,324
or a human.

1391
01:01:43,366 --> 01:01:45,535
Tinsel's gonna be my buddy tonight.

1392
01:01:45,576 --> 01:01:48,037
Get comfy and we will start the Christmas show soon.

1393
01:02:18,818 --> 01:02:21,279
Thank you for staying after to help me clean up.

1394
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,614
It's the least I could do.

1395
01:02:24,323 --> 01:02:25,700
Although,

1396
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:27,136
if it's all the same to you, maybe we can hold off

1397
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:29,036
on planning the Christmas party until tomorrow.

1398
01:02:29,078 --> 01:02:32,540
Max's great de-skunking kinda took it outta me.

1399
01:02:32,582 --> 01:02:33,875
Poor Max.

1400
01:02:33,916 --> 01:02:35,251
Poor Max?

1401
01:02:35,293 --> 01:02:37,462
- Poor Ben. - Yeah, thank you.

1402
01:02:37,503 --> 01:02:38,503
Thank you.

1403
01:02:40,465 --> 01:02:42,508
I was thinking, we don't have to have the party

1404
01:02:42,550 --> 01:02:44,302
at Juniper and Pine if you don't want to.

1405
01:02:44,927 --> 01:02:47,180
When I suggested it, I-I didn't know.

1406
01:02:47,221 --> 01:02:48,514
- I didn't... - No.

1407
01:02:48,556 --> 01:02:50,367
Of course we have to have it there, it's perfect.

1408
01:02:50,391 --> 01:02:51,934
Why? Because of Abby?

1409
01:02:53,102 --> 01:02:54,103
No.

1410
01:02:54,562 --> 01:02:55,562
It's fine.

1411
01:02:55,855 --> 01:02:56,981
It was seven years ago.

1412
01:02:58,524 --> 01:02:59,609
There's

1413
01:02:59,942 --> 01:03:01,736
there's been no one for you since then?

1414
01:03:02,820 --> 01:03:04,447
You know, it's a pretty small town.

1415
01:03:04,489 --> 01:03:07,200
It's not every day a beautiful, eligible woman

1416
01:03:07,241 --> 01:03:08,826
just waltzes in off the street.

1417
01:03:10,912 --> 01:03:12,121
It does happen, though.

1418
01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:13,955
Occasionally.

1419
01:03:15,791 --> 01:03:17,668
How about you? Have you ever, uh

1420
01:03:18,377 --> 01:03:20,630
you know... been in love?

1421
01:03:20,922 --> 01:03:21,923
That whole thing.

1422
01:03:24,967 --> 01:03:26,802
I was married once.

1423
01:03:27,386 --> 01:03:28,888
Right after college.

1424
01:03:28,930 --> 01:03:30,389
- Wow. - Mm-hmm.

1425
01:03:31,682 --> 01:03:33,392
His name was Oliver.

1426
01:03:33,434 --> 01:03:34,435
You're kidding me.

1427
01:03:35,311 --> 01:03:36,479
Oliver and Olivia.

1428
01:03:36,521 --> 01:03:37,522
- Yes. - Good.

1429
01:03:37,563 --> 01:03:38,689
It seemed fated.

1430
01:03:39,315 --> 01:03:40,358
It was not.

1431
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,069
When did you realize it wasn't?

1432
01:03:44,111 --> 01:03:47,156
Well, I figured it out when I realized he thought love was

1433
01:03:47,698 --> 01:03:50,159
all pursuit and passion.

1434
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:53,120
Constant pursuit is exhausting.

1435
01:03:53,162 --> 01:03:54,789
And passion fades.

1436
01:03:55,581 --> 01:03:57,124
Real love takes work.

1437
01:04:00,586 --> 01:04:02,171
A little passion is nice though.

1438
01:04:03,506 --> 01:04:05,091
In my humble experience.

1439
01:04:05,132 --> 01:04:06,259
That's true.

1440
01:04:07,510 --> 01:04:08,970
You know, my parents, they

1441
01:04:09,011 --> 01:04:11,931
they didn't necessarily provide the most stable home life

1442
01:04:11,973 --> 01:04:13,975
for their only child, moi.

1443
01:04:14,016 --> 01:04:15,476
But they did

1444
01:04:15,518 --> 01:04:17,687
provide a perfect example of a healthy relationship.

1445
01:04:18,271 --> 01:04:19,313
Do you speak French?

1446
01:04:20,273 --> 01:04:22,108
Un pet it peu. Et toi?

1447
01:04:22,149 --> 01:04:24,777
Un peu, un peu, a little... a little peu, yeah.

1448
01:04:24,819 --> 01:04:26,179
I always wanted to go to Brussels.

1449
01:04:26,821 --> 01:04:28,072
Still haven't gotten there yet.

1450
01:04:28,114 --> 01:04:30,449
Seems to be kind of a theme for me.

1451
01:04:30,491 --> 01:04:32,034
You know, you can tell people "no".

1452
01:04:34,203 --> 01:04:35,203
Yeah.

1453
01:04:35,496 --> 01:04:37,456
Who am I if I'm not the guy

1454
01:04:37,498 --> 01:04:38,875
that people rely on?

1455
01:04:39,333 --> 01:04:40,835
Who takes care of you?

1456
01:04:44,755 --> 01:04:45,756
No one.

1457
01:05:01,314 --> 01:05:02,914
Gingerbread. No, wait! Come back!

1458
01:05:05,026 --> 01:05:06,485
Oh, oh, here. Oh, wait.

1459
01:05:11,032 --> 01:05:12,032
Oh.

1460
01:05:14,535 --> 01:05:15,870
He's letting you hold him.

1461
01:05:17,788 --> 01:05:19,373
See, isn't this nice?

1462
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:22,376
He seems pretty comfortable.

1463
01:05:26,756 --> 01:05:28,174
I'll bring him to the catio.

1464
01:05:46,233 --> 01:05:47,234
Good morning.

1465
01:05:47,276 --> 01:05:49,111
Morning. I come bearing gifts

1466
01:05:49,153 --> 01:05:50,404
as promised.

1467
01:05:51,405 --> 01:05:52,490
Thank you.

1468
01:05:55,368 --> 01:05:58,371
Um, I'd love to know what you think of the coffee.

1469
01:05:58,412 --> 01:05:59,412
Oh, yes.

1470
01:06:04,210 --> 01:06:05,252
Perfect.

1471
01:06:05,294 --> 01:06:06,295
I was right.

1472
01:06:07,380 --> 01:06:08,380
Lucky me.

1473
01:06:09,382 --> 01:06:10,967
Maybe lucky both of us.

1474
01:06:12,802 --> 01:06:14,553
- Do you wanna come in? - Oh, um.

1475
01:06:14,595 --> 01:06:15,554
No, I would love to.

1476
01:06:15,596 --> 01:06:16,806
I, um...

1477
01:06:17,515 --> 01:06:19,100
I have to go to work.

1478
01:06:19,141 --> 01:06:20,141
Yes.

1479
01:06:22,603 --> 01:06:24,271
Uh, um, I'll see you later.

1480
01:06:24,313 --> 01:06:25,313
Definitely.

1481
01:06:25,606 --> 01:06:27,316
You will definitely see me later.

1482
01:06:27,608 --> 01:06:29,151
Uh, by the way,

1483
01:06:29,193 --> 01:06:31,380
I'm taking point on getting the restaurant ready tonight

1484
01:06:31,404 --> 01:06:32,488
for the Christmas party.

1485
01:06:32,530 --> 01:06:33,674
- No, no, that's... - I'm not

1486
01:06:33,698 --> 01:06:34,925
- too much for one person. - No, I insist.

1487
01:06:34,949 --> 01:06:36,992
I gotta pull my weight. You did the story-time.

1488
01:06:37,034 --> 01:06:38,828
You did the pajama party.

1489
01:06:38,869 --> 01:06:39,954
I got the... I'm doing it.

1490
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:41,831
- Are you sure? - I got it.

1491
01:06:41,872 --> 01:06:42,872
Okay.

1492
01:06:44,542 --> 01:06:45,710
Have a good...

1493
01:06:45,751 --> 01:06:47,795
Day... I will now.

1494
01:07:06,439 --> 01:07:08,065
Those RSVPs keep coming in.

1495
01:07:08,607 --> 01:07:11,027
We've never had this many for the Christmas party.

1496
01:07:11,277 --> 01:07:13,571
I bet we get several adoptions outta this.

1497
01:07:13,612 --> 01:07:14,864
Aww. Good.

1498
01:07:15,448 --> 01:07:17,032
I know Ben was concerned about it.

1499
01:07:17,074 --> 01:07:18,074
Me too.

1500
01:07:18,284 --> 01:07:19,827
- Yeah? - Yeah.

1501
01:07:20,578 --> 01:07:22,705
I didn't anticipate getting so attached, but

1502
01:07:24,039 --> 01:07:25,291
it is hard not to.

1503
01:07:25,916 --> 01:07:26,916
It shows.

1504
01:07:27,585 --> 01:07:30,045
You know, you've really made these Christmas events feel

1505
01:07:30,504 --> 01:07:32,006
different this year.

1506
01:07:32,047 --> 01:07:33,090
In a good way.

1507
01:07:41,223 --> 01:07:43,642
Well, don't you two look nice?

1508
01:07:43,684 --> 01:07:45,478
We wanna put Snowball on hold.

1509
01:07:45,519 --> 01:07:46,896
I'm getting adopted.

1510
01:07:47,229 --> 01:07:49,815
Oh... congratulations!

1511
01:07:50,608 --> 01:07:51,608
Oh.

1512
01:07:52,485 --> 01:07:54,904
Thanks, uh, it's been quite the journey.

1513
01:07:55,196 --> 01:07:56,739
Understatement, but

1514
01:07:56,781 --> 01:07:58,532
we got our own Christmas miracle.

1515
01:07:59,116 --> 01:08:02,244
You know, Snowball has been looking for the perfect person.

1516
01:08:03,412 --> 01:08:05,122
He was looking for me, right?

1517
01:08:05,498 --> 01:08:06,498
Mom?

1518
01:08:10,252 --> 01:08:11,587
That's right, honey.

1519
01:08:16,383 --> 01:08:18,219
Now, let's go see Snowball.

1520
01:08:18,969 --> 01:08:20,095
Let's go see Snowball.

1521
01:08:44,954 --> 01:08:45,954
Hello?

1522
01:08:47,248 --> 01:08:48,707
What are you doing?

1523
01:08:48,749 --> 01:08:50,501
I said I got it.

1524
01:08:50,543 --> 01:08:51,544
Yeah, yeah.

1525
01:08:52,253 --> 01:08:53,254
You know what?

1526
01:08:53,295 --> 01:08:54,463
I'm so glad you're here.

1527
01:08:54,505 --> 01:08:56,549
There's no way I can do this on my own.

1528
01:08:56,590 --> 01:09:00,136
Well, I come bearing helping hands and good news.

1529
01:09:00,177 --> 01:09:01,595
I will take both.

1530
01:09:02,596 --> 01:09:04,014
Joshy got adopted.

1531
01:09:06,308 --> 01:09:08,060
- Oh... - Mmm.

1532
01:09:10,604 --> 01:09:13,023
That means Snowball found his forever home too.

1533
01:09:15,317 --> 01:09:16,360
What is thi...

1534
01:09:16,402 --> 01:09:17,420
Are you kidding? What are you do...

1535
01:09:17,444 --> 01:09:18,821
What is this?

1536
01:09:18,863 --> 01:09:20,423
I hope you don't mind, we brought reinforcements.

1537
01:09:20,447 --> 01:09:21,842
- Are you kidding me? - The more the merrier.

1538
01:09:21,866 --> 01:09:22,950
No.

1539
01:09:22,992 --> 01:09:24,469
Hey, you've always been there for us.

1540
01:09:24,493 --> 01:09:25,870
Olivia called.

1541
01:09:25,911 --> 01:09:27,663
And since you never ask for help.

1542
01:09:27,705 --> 01:09:29,331
She did the asking for you.

1543
01:09:32,126 --> 01:09:33,419
I don't, I...

1544
01:09:33,460 --> 01:09:35,754
This is... look at, look at all of you.

1545
01:09:35,796 --> 01:09:37,298
Thank you for this.

1546
01:09:37,339 --> 01:09:39,341
Truly, I don't even know what to say.

1547
01:09:39,884 --> 01:09:41,302
Aside from

1548
01:09:41,343 --> 01:09:42,511
get to work.

1549
01:09:43,012 --> 01:09:44,305
Yes!

1550
01:09:44,346 --> 01:09:45,764
We should split up into teams.

1551
01:09:45,806 --> 01:09:47,659
I'm gonna set up the tree, if you guys wanna take...

1552
01:10:20,674 --> 01:10:22,051
Looks beautiful.

1553
01:10:22,092 --> 01:10:23,469
Thanks to you.

1554
01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:25,638
Well, thanks to both of us.

1555
01:10:26,013 --> 01:10:27,640
And all the people who showed up

1556
01:10:27,681 --> 01:10:29,266
and wanted to help you in return.

1557
01:10:29,308 --> 01:10:30,809
I still can't believe it.

1558
01:10:30,851 --> 01:10:32,853
Oh. I almost forgot.

1559
01:10:32,895 --> 01:10:34,355
This came in the mail today.

1560
01:10:34,396 --> 01:10:36,065
Said it was, uh, overnighted.

1561
01:10:37,066 --> 01:10:39,693
I gotta head back to the café, finish up some paperwork.

1562
01:10:40,694 --> 01:10:42,321
- Night, Frank. - Thank you.

1563
01:10:42,363 --> 01:10:43,405
Seriously.

1564
01:10:44,281 --> 01:10:45,658
It's from Mr. Henry.

1565
01:10:45,699 --> 01:10:47,552
He said he found something when he was going through.

1566
01:10:47,576 --> 01:10:48,827
Esther's paperwork.

1567
01:10:53,123 --> 01:10:55,626
For the girl who believed saving even one cat

1568
01:10:55,668 --> 01:10:57,002
can make a difference.

1569
01:11:01,131 --> 01:11:02,132
Oh...

1570
01:11:05,261 --> 01:11:06,345
Oh.

1571
01:11:06,679 --> 01:11:07,721
Wow.

1572
01:11:08,597 --> 01:11:09,598
Is that you?

1573
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:10,891
Yep. That's me.

1574
01:11:11,433 --> 01:11:13,227
And the cat I found when I was nine.

1575
01:11:13,894 --> 01:11:15,205
My parents said I couldn't keep it,

1576
01:11:15,229 --> 01:11:16,522
so Aunt Esther did.

1577
01:11:17,731 --> 01:11:19,608
The cat that you found was Noelle?

1578
01:11:20,526 --> 01:11:21,986
- Yeah. - Your aunt used to

1579
01:11:22,027 --> 01:11:23,696
talk about that cat all the time.

1580
01:11:23,737 --> 01:11:25,656
She said that after Noelle,

1581
01:11:25,698 --> 01:11:28,575
she wanted to help every single cat that needed a home.

1582
01:11:28,617 --> 01:11:29,994
Thus the...

1583
01:11:30,035 --> 01:11:31,620
Catnip was born.

1584
01:11:34,832 --> 01:11:37,126
So, that's why she gave me half the café.

1585
01:11:39,128 --> 01:11:40,754
You're the reason it exists.

1586
01:11:45,175 --> 01:11:46,175
Hey.

1587
01:11:47,886 --> 01:11:50,139
I am so grateful that Snowball found a home.

1588
01:11:52,266 --> 01:11:55,269
I hope this last event helps all the cats get adopted.

1589
01:11:56,437 --> 01:11:58,314
That had a bit of a heavy ring to it.

1590
01:11:59,189 --> 01:12:00,189
Do you mean

1591
01:12:00,482 --> 01:12:03,152
last event this Christmas or do you mean

1592
01:12:03,193 --> 01:12:05,362
last event... last event?

1593
01:12:07,531 --> 01:12:08,531
Oh.

1594
01:12:09,324 --> 01:12:10,324
Wow.

1595
01:12:10,659 --> 01:12:12,369
Uh, okay.

1596
01:12:13,078 --> 01:12:14,163
I'm just gonna...

1597
01:12:14,955 --> 01:12:16,457
I'm gonna put this out there.

1598
01:12:16,498 --> 01:12:20,669
Olivia, I think that you should, uh... stay.

1599
01:12:21,378 --> 01:12:25,299
And keep the café for so many reasons.

1600
01:12:25,924 --> 01:12:26,924
Ben...

1601
01:12:28,177 --> 01:12:30,304
I was clear from the beginning.

1602
01:12:30,345 --> 01:12:32,556
I was always intending to sell.

1603
01:12:32,598 --> 01:12:34,266
You-you knew that.

1604
01:12:34,308 --> 01:12:36,185
I have a whole life in California that I...

1605
01:12:36,226 --> 01:12:38,812
I- I worked really hard to build, and...

1606
01:12:40,064 --> 01:12:41,690
I- I need stability.

1607
01:12:41,732 --> 01:12:42,941
I need to settle down,

1608
01:12:42,983 --> 01:12:44,526
I need a home, you know, and that's

1609
01:12:45,486 --> 01:12:46,695
that's within reach.

1610
01:12:47,946 --> 01:12:48,946
Yeah.

1611
01:12:50,199 --> 01:12:51,199
I just

1612
01:12:51,867 --> 01:12:54,203
thought maybe the place was winning you over.

1613
01:12:55,746 --> 01:12:56,997
Maybe I was

1614
01:12:58,499 --> 01:12:59,708
winning you over.

1615
01:13:01,126 --> 01:13:02,252
You have.

1616
01:13:04,213 --> 01:13:06,840
I- I didn't anticipate feeling this way.

1617
01:13:10,719 --> 01:13:11,929
I really like you.

1618
01:13:16,934 --> 01:13:19,269
Uh, well, I've made a deal,

1619
01:13:20,270 --> 01:13:23,399
and I'm a man of my word, and I will agree to sell.

1620
01:13:24,274 --> 01:13:26,026
I wish it was different.

1621
01:13:27,820 --> 01:13:29,446
Walking away from my life,

1622
01:13:30,364 --> 01:13:33,283
that's not a small thing to ask.

1623
01:13:34,159 --> 01:13:35,159
I know.

1624
01:13:38,372 --> 01:13:39,456
I just...

1625
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:43,168
That kiss seemed really real.

1626
01:13:48,549 --> 01:13:49,842
Anyway, um.

1627
01:13:51,468 --> 01:13:54,555
Uh... Yeah. Everything is good.

1628
01:13:54,596 --> 01:13:56,265
This is good here.

1629
01:13:56,306 --> 01:14:00,018
And you have more than fulfilled your half of the deal.

1630
01:14:00,060 --> 01:14:03,188
Um, I see no reason to stay for the Christmas party.

1631
01:14:03,230 --> 01:14:05,149
I will finalize things with Walter,

1632
01:14:05,190 --> 01:14:06,692
and you're free to go.

1633
01:14:11,989 --> 01:14:13,157
Right.

1634
01:14:13,198 --> 01:14:14,198
Um...

1635
01:14:20,873 --> 01:14:22,332
Maybe that's for the best.

1636
01:14:56,742 --> 01:14:58,160
Do my eyes deceive me

1637
01:14:58,202 --> 01:15:01,079
or are we getting out on time on Christmas Eve?

1638
01:15:01,330 --> 01:15:03,248
Gotta get ready for the Christmas party.

1639
01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:05,501
Uh, thank you again, by the way,

1640
01:15:05,542 --> 01:15:06,585
for helping last night.

1641
01:15:06,627 --> 01:15:08,462
- That was... - Of course.

1642
01:15:08,503 --> 01:15:10,255
When Olivia called to say you needed help,

1643
01:15:10,297 --> 01:15:11,715
everyone jumped in.

1644
01:15:11,757 --> 01:15:12,757
Yeah.

1645
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:16,428
Uh, well, I might need help around here, too.

1646
01:15:16,929 --> 01:15:18,013
- Oh? - Yeah.

1647
01:15:19,014 --> 01:15:20,694
I think it's time to look for another vet.

1648
01:15:21,642 --> 01:15:22,935
- Are you serious? - Yeah.

1649
01:15:23,602 --> 01:15:25,562
Oh, I already have job postings ready...

1650
01:15:25,604 --> 01:15:27,189
- After Christmas. - Okay.

1651
01:15:27,481 --> 01:15:28,750
I'm gonna get ready for the party.

1652
01:15:28,774 --> 01:15:29,733
Okay.

1653
01:15:29,775 --> 01:15:30,775
Hey.

1654
01:15:32,069 --> 01:15:33,111
Are you good?

1655
01:15:34,905 --> 01:15:35,989
Yeah.

1656
01:15:41,703 --> 01:15:43,580
The snow is really coming down.

1657
01:15:43,622 --> 01:15:44,623
Where are you?

1658
01:15:44,665 --> 01:15:46,250
I'm a couple hours out of Buffalo.

1659
01:15:46,291 --> 01:15:47,834
My flight is in eight hours.

1660
01:15:48,377 --> 01:15:49,628
Eight hours?

1661
01:15:50,295 --> 01:15:51,338
It's Christmas Eve.

1662
01:15:51,380 --> 01:15:52,923
It's the only flight I could find.

1663
01:15:52,965 --> 01:15:54,442
Well, you still could've gone to the party

1664
01:15:54,466 --> 01:15:55,509
and made your flight.

1665
01:15:55,551 --> 01:15:56,802
There's Santa Claus!

1666
01:15:56,843 --> 01:15:58,262
Ben doesn't want me there.

1667
01:15:58,303 --> 01:15:59,179
Okay.

1668
01:15:59,221 --> 01:16:00,973
Yes, he does. He...

1669
01:16:02,307 --> 01:16:03,392
He was just upset.

1670
01:16:03,642 --> 01:16:05,394
Do you honestly believe that?

1671
01:16:05,435 --> 01:16:06,812
He was so hurt.

1672
01:16:08,146 --> 01:16:11,525
I didn't know what to say, I just froze.

1673
01:16:12,442 --> 01:16:14,403
I am not a good ad-libber.

1674
01:16:14,444 --> 01:16:15,988
What would you have said if you were?

1675
01:16:16,029 --> 01:16:16,697
Maybe...

1676
01:16:17,030 --> 01:16:18,573
I know this is complicated.

1677
01:16:19,408 --> 01:16:20,951
I don't know.

1678
01:16:21,785 --> 01:16:24,037
Let's go to Brussels for an espresso.

1679
01:16:25,998 --> 01:16:26,873
What?

1680
01:16:26,915 --> 01:16:27,915
It's a long story.

1681
01:16:28,583 --> 01:16:30,127
So what about the condo?

1682
01:16:30,168 --> 01:16:31,211
Are we making an offer?

1683
01:16:31,878 --> 01:16:33,588
I'm at a gas station, I gotta go.

1684
01:16:33,630 --> 01:16:35,110
I'll call you back, okay? I love you.

1685
01:16:35,340 --> 01:16:36,758
You got this. Love you.

1686
01:16:50,856 --> 01:16:52,858
Hi. Uh, cashier's inside.

1687
01:16:52,899 --> 01:16:53,899
Oh.

1688
01:16:53,984 --> 01:16:54,985
Uh, no.

1689
01:16:55,027 --> 01:16:56,612
I just heard the music.

1690
01:17:00,198 --> 01:17:01,199
Hi, kitty.

1691
01:17:02,326 --> 01:17:03,452
This is Guy.

1692
01:17:03,493 --> 01:17:04,493
He's my buddy.

1693
01:17:06,496 --> 01:17:08,290
Likes to watch me work.

1694
01:17:08,332 --> 01:17:09,458
I rescued him.

1695
01:17:11,585 --> 01:17:12,919
Did you say he was a rescue?

1696
01:17:14,004 --> 01:17:17,341
There's this cat café over there in Felicity,

1697
01:17:17,382 --> 01:17:18,717
and, um...

1698
01:17:18,759 --> 01:17:21,511
I got him from this really nice lady about, um

1699
01:17:22,054 --> 01:17:23,054
about six years ago.

1700
01:17:30,228 --> 01:17:31,228
Thank you.

1701
01:17:34,399 --> 01:17:35,484
Do you have a cat?

1702
01:17:40,155 --> 01:17:41,155
Not yet.

1703
01:17:44,826 --> 01:17:45,826
Thank you.

1704
01:17:48,955 --> 01:17:51,625
- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

1705
01:18:02,552 --> 01:18:04,096
So, you're really gonna sell?

1706
01:18:04,137 --> 01:18:05,639
I'm so sorry.

1707
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,100
I- I know how much the café means to you.

1708
01:18:08,141 --> 01:18:09,393
How much Olivia...

1709
01:18:09,434 --> 01:18:10,434
Yeah.

1710
01:18:10,852 --> 01:18:11,852
Thank you.

1711
01:18:12,938 --> 01:18:15,857
She made her choice, though, and I have to respect that.

1712
01:18:19,444 --> 01:18:21,196
Hey, maybe after New Year's,

1713
01:18:21,238 --> 01:18:23,407
you could show me those puppies again.

1714
01:18:23,448 --> 01:18:24,449
Really?

1715
01:18:25,283 --> 01:18:26,368
I think it's time.

1716
01:18:27,244 --> 01:18:28,244
Okay.

1717
01:18:30,414 --> 01:18:32,457
Will you, uh, excuse me?

1718
01:18:34,292 --> 01:18:35,292
Walter.

1719
01:18:35,877 --> 01:18:37,504
Olivia will not be joining us.

1720
01:18:37,546 --> 01:18:38,797
I got your message.

1721
01:18:38,839 --> 01:18:40,924
But you're here and...

1722
01:18:40,966 --> 01:18:42,551
Do you wanna sign now, or...?

1723
01:18:42,592 --> 01:18:43,719
No need to wait.

1724
01:18:56,273 --> 01:18:58,275
Is he about to attack?

1725
01:18:58,316 --> 01:19:00,735
Probably, yeah. He's pretty dangerous.

1726
01:19:03,321 --> 01:19:04,406
I think that's it.

1727
01:19:11,913 --> 01:19:13,915
He likes it when you scratch behind his ears.

1728
01:19:23,884 --> 01:19:25,302
Excuse me, thank you.

1729
01:19:28,346 --> 01:19:29,931
- Ben. - Liv?

1730
01:19:30,932 --> 01:19:32,869
I thought you were halfway to Buffalo, what are you...

1731
01:19:32,893 --> 01:19:34,352
I had to come back. I just, I fe...

1732
01:19:35,020 --> 01:19:39,441
I felt like my Aunt Esther was reaching down from heaven,

1733
01:19:39,483 --> 01:19:41,193
telling me I was making a mistake.

1734
01:19:41,234 --> 01:19:42,486
A mistake? Uh...

1735
01:19:46,072 --> 01:19:47,616
Wait, is that the contract?

1736
01:19:48,241 --> 01:19:50,035
Yeah, I-I signed.

1737
01:19:50,076 --> 01:19:51,244
No!

1738
01:19:51,286 --> 01:19:53,580
No, no. Hey, listen. Uh, we made a deal.

1739
01:19:53,622 --> 01:19:55,165
I- I made you a promise,

1740
01:19:55,665 --> 01:19:57,059
and you fulfilled your end of that.

1741
01:19:57,083 --> 01:19:58,352
And I made some bad assumptions,

1742
01:19:58,376 --> 01:19:59,836
but I signed it.

1743
01:19:59,878 --> 01:20:01,713
I just want you to be happy.

1744
01:20:01,755 --> 01:20:02,672
No.

1745
01:20:02,714 --> 01:20:04,174
No, the café is not for sale.

1746
01:20:06,384 --> 01:20:07,385
Mr. Morley.

1747
01:20:07,719 --> 01:20:08,719
Olivia.

1748
01:20:09,054 --> 01:20:10,263
I think he likes me.

1749
01:20:10,597 --> 01:20:11,640
Here's the deal.

1750
01:20:12,974 --> 01:20:15,060
I thought I always knew what I wanted,

1751
01:20:15,101 --> 01:20:16,394
but my aunt,

1752
01:20:16,436 --> 01:20:18,396
she-she gave me a chance at something better.

1753
01:20:18,897 --> 01:20:21,483
To continue what she started.

1754
01:20:21,525 --> 01:20:22,567
A place where

1755
01:20:22,609 --> 01:20:24,694
people and animals, they find

1756
01:20:25,278 --> 01:20:26,404
connection.

1757
01:20:27,364 --> 01:20:28,364
Belonging.

1758
01:20:29,032 --> 01:20:31,493
The Catnip Café is my aunt's legacy,

1759
01:20:31,535 --> 01:20:33,537
and I intend to keep that going.

1760
01:20:34,287 --> 01:20:35,539
For her. For me.

1761
01:20:36,706 --> 01:20:37,916
I'm not selling.

1762
01:20:39,668 --> 01:20:40,668
Okay.

1763
01:20:41,878 --> 01:20:42,878
Okay?

1764
01:20:43,421 --> 01:20:44,421
Yeah.

1765
01:20:45,006 --> 01:20:46,341
I didn't come for a fight.

1766
01:20:46,675 --> 01:20:47,968
I came for signatures.

1767
01:20:48,844 --> 01:20:50,720
But then this guy jumped into my lap.

1768
01:20:51,555 --> 01:20:53,098
I didn't have the heart to move him.

1769
01:20:53,139 --> 01:20:54,182
He's too cute.

1770
01:20:54,432 --> 01:20:55,432
Well

1771
01:20:55,892 --> 01:20:57,894
the kids have been asking for a while, so.

1772
01:21:08,780 --> 01:21:09,864
Thank you.

1773
01:21:10,991 --> 01:21:12,033
Merry Christmas.

1774
01:21:13,785 --> 01:21:14,785
Aww.

1775
01:21:15,328 --> 01:21:16,830
And I'm happy for you.

1776
01:21:22,711 --> 01:21:23,711
Hi.

1777
01:21:25,338 --> 01:21:26,715
Are you sure?

1778
01:21:26,756 --> 01:21:27,757
Absolutely.

1779
01:21:28,925 --> 01:21:30,010
I realized

1780
01:21:30,677 --> 01:21:32,429
all I've ever wanted is home.

1781
01:21:33,179 --> 01:21:34,180
I found that.

1782
01:21:34,764 --> 01:21:35,764
Here.

1783
01:21:36,182 --> 01:21:37,267
With the café.

1784
01:21:38,059 --> 01:21:39,060
With the town.

1785
01:21:40,312 --> 01:21:41,312
With...

1786
01:21:41,646 --> 01:21:42,647
With me.

1787
01:21:44,274 --> 01:21:45,650
Unless I read that wrong.

1788
01:21:47,027 --> 01:21:48,027
No.

1789
01:21:48,778 --> 01:21:50,322
You didn't read that wrong.

1790
01:21:52,657 --> 01:21:54,075
Let's go tell everybody the news.

1791
01:22:00,832 --> 01:22:02,208
Eventful evening.

1792
01:22:02,792 --> 01:22:04,169
It was.

1793
01:22:05,795 --> 01:22:07,172
So, we have

1794
01:22:07,881 --> 01:22:10,342
three applications to foster.

1795
01:22:10,383 --> 01:22:12,636
- Wow. - Four holds to adopt.

1796
01:22:12,677 --> 01:22:13,678
Okay.

1797
01:22:14,179 --> 01:22:15,347
And one adoption.

1798
01:22:15,639 --> 01:22:16,639
Who's the one?

1799
01:22:16,973 --> 01:22:17,973
Me.

1800
01:22:18,224 --> 01:22:19,309
For Gingerbread.

1801
01:22:19,351 --> 01:22:20,560
Okay.

1802
01:22:21,061 --> 01:22:23,480
You know, he's a cat of particular taste.

1803
01:22:24,481 --> 01:22:25,815
Oh. Well...

1804
01:22:26,691 --> 01:22:28,860
I am a woman of particular taste.

1805
01:22:28,902 --> 01:22:29,902
Clearly.

1806
01:22:32,238 --> 01:22:33,448
I was also thinking.

1807
01:22:33,490 --> 01:22:34,490
Hmm.

1808
01:22:37,535 --> 01:22:38,703
How

1809
01:22:38,953 --> 01:22:40,163
would you feel

1810
01:22:40,497 --> 01:22:42,165
about being neighbors?

1811
01:22:42,207 --> 01:22:43,207
Ooh.

1812
01:22:43,458 --> 01:22:44,685
'Cause there is this charming older house

1813
01:22:44,709 --> 01:22:45,794
that I have my eyes on.

1814
01:22:45,835 --> 01:22:47,003
- Yeah? - Yeah.

1815
01:22:47,045 --> 01:22:48,481
Heard there's a grumpy guy down the block.

1816
01:22:50,382 --> 01:22:51,800
I think I can win him over.

1817
01:22:52,425 --> 01:22:53,802
Then I think it's perfect.

1818
01:23:03,436 --> 01:23:05,730
My man, we've got to work on your timing.

1819
01:23:09,275 --> 01:23:10,860
I'm just gonna steal her for a second.
