- Shut up!

I can't hear anything over this damn music.

Yeah, I have her.

Yeah I have her, I have her, yes!

I have her something blue.

I will be right there, don't worry.

Yeah I'm leaving now.

Okay, okay.

Janey!

I am trying to get out the door, why,

oh, Diane, hi.

I thought, I'm sorry, I thought that was someone else.

No I can't be there right now.

Would you excuse me for just one moment?

Knock it off!

I'm sorry, where were we?

I will get that fixed, don't worry.

Yes, Diane, everything will be ready by,

for our grand opening party on New Year's Eve.

Everything.

Bye-bye.

Hi, I need a favor.

Do you know of any good welder?

Yes, I know that he is out of town.

That is why I need you to suggest someone.

Okay, well can you, can you give her a call

and get her into the brewery tomorrow?

Yes, I know.

You know, I don't care.

I know that it is Sunday tomorrow

and that it is almost Christmas.

I will double her rate.

I don't care what you have to do to convince her.

Just convince her!

Okay yeah, no, Bill, I really gotta go.

Yeah okay, okay thanks, bye.

Oh hey!

Hey, can you hold the door open please?

My hands are kinda full.

Hey, door!

Yeah, thanks for the help.

Sure you're gonna make some beautiful babies.

- Iris?

Honey?

I need to know what you wanna do about the catering

for the reception?

I'm afraid it's non-refundable at this point.

- What?

- The food for the reception.

What do you wanna do about it?

- Just, maybe we can have it delivered to a soup kitchen?

Homeless people will like caprese crostinis

and beef tartare, right?

Right?

- They'll love it.

I'll take care of the food.

Can you guys just focus on getting her home?

- You'll be home again tonight, right?

- I think I'll just get a hotel room, give you some privacy.

- No, please just stay at our place

like we originally planned.

Besides, it'd be nice to have you around.

In case Theo decides to return your calls.

- You think you're up to saying goodbye

to some of the guests?

Everyone is waiting outside.

They just wanna make sure everything's okay.

- Help me out of my dress first.

- This is nice.

You just come from a banquet?

Or a wedding?

Is that what you're in town for?

Glad you could make time for me.

Whoops, I'm gonna get another bottle.

You want some?

- No, thank you.

- Please don't tell me

you're still doing that sobriety thing.

Oh well, more for me.

Make yourself at home, I'll be right back.

- Theo, where the hell did you go?

Where are you?

- Look, I'm heading to the airport.

- The airport?

- Calm down, I'll only be gone a few days.

- Theo, please just go home and talk to Iris.

She needs you right now.

- She doesn't need me.

You know as well as I do that Iris will be fine without me.

She'll handle all of this the way she handles everything.

- Alone?

- No, perfectly.

She'll handle this perfectly.

Can you do me a favor?

- Sure.

- Can you check in on her?

She never asks for help

and I just need to know if she's okay.

Please?

- Sure.

- Thanks, I gotta go.

Love you.

Sorry about today.

- I gotta go.

I'll text you tomorrow.

- Cheers to us,

to the most beautiful and best wedding party ever.

Clink clink clink clink.

- Clink, yes.

- Oh oh oh oh oh.

- Oh, what a shame.

No, you pick up this glass.

- Oh okay, again? - Pick it up.

- Again.

You toast with me.

To, to us!

- To us.

Eye contact, eye contact, eye contact

- All right, I think that's the last drink for the night.

Yes? Yes. - No, no.

- Or you should at least put

a little something in your belly

before starting another glass. - Yes, yes!

That's a good plan!

I need some...

We're related.

- Yeah, I know, prima. - I know.

- This is America.

- Yeah.

- Have you ever seen her like this before?

- No, have you?

You guys ever party together in college?

- Have you met your cousin?

Iris doesn't party!

Someone's gonna have to stay here with her tonight.

Isn't Mardou supposed to come tonight?

- Yes!

Mardou will be here at some point

so you stay 'til she gets here.

- Oh no, I can't.

- Why not?

- Because I'm gonna go see my girlfriend.

I haven't seen her in six months.

Are you kidding me?

It's a reunion, finally.

What's your excuse?

- 'Cause my investor, Diane Michelle Ness,

went by the brewery today and found all kinds of problems.

I have to be there tomorrow.

- Clearly my excuse is better than yours, all right?

And you're her best friend!

- And you're her cousin.

What now?

- Oh my god.

- Okay.

Oh thank god.

- Whose idea was this?

- I...

- I did this. I did all of this!

This is all my fault!

Did you, have you heard from him yet?

Is Theo coming home?

- No.

But he did want me to make sure that you're okay,

which is ridiculous because you're obviously not okay.

- I'm just fine, thank you very much.

- Yes, you're obviously just fine.

- But you're gonna stay here tonight, right?

Like we planned?

- Yeah, sure.

I'll stay here tonight.

- Thank you.

- Okay, all right.

But if I'm staying here as a temporary roommate,

I'm gonna ask that we stop drinking for now

and we get you to bed.

Okay?

- Boop.

- Come on.

'Kay, say goodnight.

- Goodnight.

What is this?

- It's a bobby pin.

You can keep it in, it's okay.

Again!

- Thank you!

Thank you, we're gonna take 15.

Take that time to fill up those glasses,

maybe fill up our glasses if you're so kind

and tip Allen

We'll be back.

- That was great.

- I messed up that last chord.

- That's all right.

- We nailed it.

- We nailed it.

- Yeah we did.

- I think we're fine.

Do you think, I think we're fine

if you need to go to the reception

for the next set. - Are you guys sure?

- Yeah yeah yeah, get out of here.

- Oh my god, thank you so much.

All right guys. - Say hi to Janey for us.

- I will.

- Shit.

Theo!

I almost killed you.

What the hell are you doing here?

- What am I doing here? I live here.

What're you doing here?

- You told me to check on Iris. I'm checking on her.

I thought you said you were going away for a while.

- I still am, just had to come get this first.

You didn't have any, did you?

- No.

No I didn't.

Why'd you do it?

You could've married the perfect woman.

I mean the perfect woman. - Look, I know!

- Shh!

- I know, but I cannot begin to explain the kind of pressure

I'm under to be her equally perfect husband.

And to give her a perfect life

with perfect children and a perfect future.

You know, after four years with her,

I still don't know who she truly is.

She never lets me see her, like really see her.

I don't know if she knows me either.

How are two people who don't even know each other anymore

supposed to get married?

- Did you think to maybe, I don't know, talk to her

about this before your wedding day?

- You think I haven't tried?

'Cause I have.

Things might change for a week or two

but it all eventually goes back to the way it was.

And it got so much worse after I proposed.

Wedding planning became her life.

She's so concerned with proving to her family

how perfect we are but I don't care what they think.

I just wanna feel like she loves me

and for her to know I love her.

Our flaws included.

- Women, even when we're perfect we're not perfect enough.

- Oh, don't start that shit with me.

I love Iris.

I love every part of her.

I just don't know if I'm in love with her.

- Were you?

Ever?

- I don't know.

- So what,

you're just gonna go on your honeymoon alone?

- No, unfortunately, I'm taking a business trip.

Yeah, Iris never planned the honeymoon for us.

She wanted us to stay home instead

and throw a Christmas party so we can show everyone

how happily married we are.

- What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to tell her you were here or--

- No, just tell her what you want I guess.

But let her know I'll do whatever that she wants.

If she wants me to leave,

I'll have my stuff packed up and gone in a day.

It didn't feel right.

The wedding.

Marrying her, I just...

- Everything's going to be okay.

- I love you, sis.

- I love you too.

- Oh hey, good morning!

Good morning to you too.

- Something smells delicious.

- Morning.

You look like you need a coffee.

You got in pretty late last night.

Must've been at Iris' for a while.

- No, actually, I ended up going to Flanagan's to see Sue.

She came home with me last night.

- You finally get a chance to catch up?

- Mom.

- Oh, relax.

Does she need some coffee too?

- No, she left already.

She left before you even woke up.

- I think she is the only person on the planet

more excited than me to see you again.

- Yeah.

Hey, Mom?

- Hm?

- I need to show you something,

but you need to promise that you're not gonna freak out.

- Promise, okay.

- Say something?

- Well, Jane, it doesn't exactly surprise me.

We all knew this would happen eventually

but after what happened yesterday,

just promise me you won't get cold feet?

- Cold feet?

No, Mom, I know that Sue and I have been

on again and off again but that's just

because we spend more time apart than together.

Now that I'm lucky enough to be stationed here

for the next few years, I think it's time

that I finally make her part of my family.

She's my person.

I love her.

- I know you do.

When you thinking of asking her?

- I don't know.

Maybe after I get everything out of storage

and I move into my new place.

Make sure her mom feels a little bit better.

She just got back into remission.

It'll happen. - Mm-hmm.

- Just maybe I'll take her on vacation and ask her then.

- I was thinking you could ask her Christmas Eve.

You could invite Sue and her mom over for dinner.

It would be so nice! - No.

Are you crazy? No!

That's way too soon.

Our family needs a break from weddings, okay?

And plus, Sue is working on Christmas Eve.

- Okay, well just promise me

you'll take her a plate of leftovers.

She would love that.

- I will.

- I am so happy for you!

Speaking of weddings, have you heard

from your cousin yet this morning?

- No.

But that doesn't surprise me because she got super lit.

- Oh, Iris?

- Yes.

- Lit?

- Very.

- Okay, well just make sure you send her a text

later on to check up on her.

- Okay, I will.

- All right.

- Do you want me to check up on Dad

and tell him that breakfast is ready?

- Yeah sure, sure.

Janey?

It's nice having you home again.

- It's good to be home.

- Wow, that is a lot of money.

- Come on!

- Morning.

- Morning.

- If you need something greasy to eat,

I can fix you up something real quick.

Or I can go pick something up, whatever you like.

- That's really nice of you but...

I think...

I'm all right for now.

- Hey.

What you did yesterday?

Donating all that food to the soup kitchen,

the people who use that service were

extremely grateful for you.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Have you heard - Theo stopped

- from Theo yet? - by this morning.

- Wait, he did?

And neither of you thought to wake me up?

Why won't he talk to me?

- He's on a plane right now.

- A plane? Where to?

- I don't know, some work trip.

He only stopped by long enough to grab his passport.

- He didn't wanna see me?

- You know, when Theo and I were little,

we were always getting in trouble.

But regardless of whether it was our knees or elbows

or our feelings that got hurt, our mother always said to us,

"Time spent feeling sorry for yourself is time wasted."

She'd give us two minutes to cry, counted out each second,

and then she would make us pick ourselves back up again.

You've got about a minute left

and then it is time to pick yourself back up again.

You good?

- No, Mardou.

I'm far from good.

But you're right.

I need to keep going.

I just don't know what to do.

- Well, if you could do anything, anything,

what would you wanna do?

- Talk to Theo.

- This is your chance to act selfishly.

So what would you, what would Iris like to do today?

- I don't know.

Maybe see a movie?

- Okay.

Yeah, that is a great start.

- And maybe get something sweet to eat.

Like truffles from that chocolate shop down on Main Street

or Milk Duds - Milk Duds?

- at the movie theater.

I've never had Milk Duds.

- What?

- I've been on a diet since I was like 16 so.

Maybe just for today I'll wear my baggiest item of clothing

and just eat whatever I want.

That would be nice.

- It would.

- Thank you.

- For what?

- Being here.

Making me feel better.

- Of course.

Of course.

Now.

Go get yourself a shower because I am taking you out

to breakfast and a movie.

- The welders are here, boss.

- Great.

- Well hello, there, neighbor.

- Oh my god.

- Do you have a headache?

- I do now.

I can't work with them.

- I'm not sure, did you say you can't work with us?

- I did.

- Why?

- I need professionals to help me finish this job

and you guys are bad neighbors.

I have an opening in 11 days

and I don't need unhelpful, self-absorbed,

loud-sex-having neighbors

who don't even care to help another neighbor out

by holding a door open when she's asking for help.

Not to mention...

- Got full power now, boss!

- Keep going.

Not to mention what?

- Oh shit.

You're deaf?

- Oh no.

A sea witch stole my voice.

- I...

I recognize my mistake.

- Oh, which mistake?

The one where you assumed I was self-absorbed

and not helpful or the one where you assumed

that we are a couple?

- Wait, you're not a couple either?

- Honey, we are as queer as a disco stick.

- So the hot neighbors are gay as well.

- Wait, you're gay too?

- As a disco stick.

So all those times I said hi and all those times I asked you

to hold the door open for me,

you weren't self-absorbed, you were actually--

- Deaf.

Not self-absorbed.

- Noted.

So...

If...

If you're not a couple then which of you is having

the unbelievably loud seismic sex?

- I may be a little bit loud if I have boys over.

- A little loud?

It sounds like two bears fucking in the wood above my head.

- She said I was a bear.

- Good.

Apologize.

- I am sorry about the noise.

I'll be more quiet from now on.

- Apology accepted.

And I'm sorry for calling you bad neighbors

and for thinking you were a self-absorbed straight couple.

- All is forgiven.

So now maybe we should get to work?

- Sure.

Right this way.

- Oh my god, candied pecans.

Can you smell them?

- Yes, do you want some?

- If you're buying, absolutely.

- Okay, wait here.

I will be right back.

- Okay. - Okay?

- I love it when you sing.

- Oh my god, do you think anyone else heard me?

- Not that I could tell.

But would it be so bad if they did?

- Kinda, yeah.

- Why? I feel like you've gotten so good

at playing guitar in front of people.

- Yeah, but singing is different.

When I play guitar, my guitar isn't me.

It's an extension of me.

But when I sing, it's just, it's just me.

And that's terrifying.

- Makes sense.

You have anyone else left on your list?

- Oh yeah, I'm done buying people.

I'm out of money anyways.

- I'm done for now too.

I just have one more person to buy a gift, you,

but I can't do that while you're around so.

- Oh no no no, please don't get me anything.

I can't get you anything so just, please?

- I need this.

I'm buying you a Christmas gift

because it's within my means,

not because I expect you to get me something in return.

Okay?

- Okay.

God, I missed you.

So much.

- I missed you too.

Are you ready to get out of here?

And eat some pecans? - Yes.

Thank you.

- Okay let's go, let's go.

Good right?

- That movie was amazing.

The scene with the chainsaw and the head cages, oh!

Disgusting, but awesome.

Oh no, you didn't like it?

- No, it was okay.

Those horror movies aren't really my thing.

- You should've said something.

I'd gladly see what you wanna see.

- No, today we're doing

what you wanna do, remember?

- Well what if what I wanna do is make sure

you are having fun hanging out with me?

- We could be going to a sports ball game

and I would still have fun with you.

- Really?

- Really.

- Well, I won't make you watch any sports ball,

but would you be up for a quick coffee?

- Your wish is my command.

- But the chainsaws, seriously.

When the blood hit the wall! - No, stop!

Is everything okay in here?

- Yes, yeah.

I just forgot I was having a Christmas dinner party

here this evening.

I made the plans months ago.

Obviously I thought things would be a little different

than they are now, and now the last thing I want is

for family and friends to show up to the undecorated house

of the woman who was dumped two days ago.

- Do you want some help?

- No.

I got it.

- Theo mentioned the party.

- He did?

- Mm-hmm.

- What did he say?

- He said you planned it in lieu of a honeymoon.

That's all.

- That's all.

- Did you want a honeymoon?

- What?

- Did you want a honeymoon?

- No.

I really didn't.

- Why not?

- I don't know, I guess I just thought

of a less exhausting way to spend the holidays.

Theo always has all of these events.

Galas and ceremonies he's invited to during the holidays

and having to always be on

in front of his bosses and colleagues is,

it's a lot.

So I thought if I had a party here,

I would be more in control of who and how I impressed

and we'd just get to stay home for once.

There go my broken dreams.

- Well, I like parties.

We should throw the holiday party.

Invite family and friends and that way,

we don't have to worry about impressing anyone.

Does that sound like a plan?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

So problem solved.

- But what about the coffee?

- Oh, I'll take care of that.

You just relax, okay?

Until I get back.

- Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Hi.

Good morning.

Where's Charlie?

"He lost his voice and I made him stay home today."

Okay.

Well, we can make it work.

Right so, we have full electric today.

Why are you touching me?

You read lips?

You kinda read lips?

What?

Oh.

Okay.

We can do this.

What can I do to help you today?

"We already got the equipment set up yesterday.

"Prepped for welding.

"If I need it, I'll ask Bill to help me."

Okay.

Let me--

Let me know if I can help with anything else?

Oh, Iris.

"Just making sure you can come to the party tonight"?

I was not expecting that, good for her.

"Yes, absolutely.

"I am sending everyone home early, including me."

- You play beautifully.

- Oh, thank you.

- And you have great stage presence.

Do you sing too?

- I can sing, but I don't usually sing when I'm out busking.

So, if you're asking me to sing,

I have to respectfully decline.

- I understand.

Thank you for the song.

It was really great.

Have a nice day.

Oh, thank goodness you're back.

Can you please hand me one of those snowflakes on the table?

Thanks.

Great.

- Please, be careful. - Of course.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I was just trying to decorate.

- Where did you get all of this stuff?

And how many of those are you planning to hang?

- They were in the closet.

And 30.

- 30?

- Yes, and some tinsel, and a couple wreaths,

and I need to wrap garland

around the-- - Hey, Iris.

Iris.

Iris, we said that this party was

for friends and family, right?

- Right.

- So why are you trying so hard to impress them

with all of these decorations

when impressing them was the one thing

you said you didn't wanna worry about doing?

- I don't know, I guess I just thought

if I didn't do enough to decorate,

they would read into it in some kind of negative way,

like maybe I'm depressed over what happened at the wedding.

- And are you?

- No.

I don't think I am.

- Okay.

Okay.

So putting aside that one particular concern,

what would you then wanna do to get ready for this party?

- I guess I would not wanna do any of it.

- Done.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- First, I'm getting you your coffee.

And then I'm going to hang the snowflakes,

but only 10 of them by the way, where you tell me to.

- But you have to measure the distance

from the other snowflake to make sure that it's...

I mean, that's fine.

We don't have to measure anything.

We could put the snowflakes wherever.

I mean, who needs precision

when we can just hang decorations by eye?

Right there is the perfect spot for the next one.

- And the next?

- Maybe there?

- Here?

- Yeah.

- Don't you look beautiful?

- Oh, thanks.

Good, you ate everything!

- It was so delicious.

That must be Janey.

- Oh god, she's early.

I told her to honk when she got here.

Hi.

You're early.

Good.

- I know you told me to wait in the car

but I had to come in and say hi to your mom.

- I'd be upset if you didn't.

So nice to see you, Janey.

You happy to be home?

- Of course I am.

- Now that you're stationed here,

you can stick around for a while?

- Yeah, that's the plan.

- It's only for two years, Mum.

- Two years can be a lifetime

if you spend it with the one you love.

- You look amazing.

Are you ready to go?

- Yeah.

- Good to see you, Miss Linder.

- And you, Janey.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye, my darling.

Try to have some fun.

- Janey, hey, Sue.

It's so good seeing you.

You too.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Mardou, this is Sue, my girlfriend.

- Hi.

- Hi, I believe we've actually already met.

Earlier this morning.

- Oh, that was you!

- That was me, yeah.

You know, she's a hell of a guitar player.

- You should hear her sing. - No, shh.

- That's what I said.

- Are you ladies hungry?

We have plenty of food.

- Yeah, god yeah, my stomach thinks my throat's been slit.

Follow me.

- I like her.

- I do too.

- I'm gonna get some food.

- Okay.

They're cute, huh?

- Yeah.

They met in high school and became best friends

when their parents were stationed in London.

They were separated for a while but ended up together again

when their families both retired here.

It was no surprise to any of us when they fell in love.

- They're each other's destiny.

- Yes, they are.

- Where are you going and what are those?

- So, you know the welder that I got the other day?

Well, she left her gloves at work

so I told her to meet me here so I can return them.

- Wait.

She Carol'd you?

Is that her at the door? - Yeah, it should be.

- Hello!

Come on in!

Come in.

Lou, you wanna introduce your friends or?

- Iris, this is Kenna and Charlie.

They're helping me with the brewery.

- It's nice to meet you too.

I don't know if you had plans tonight,

but since you're here, would you like to stay a while?

- We would love to, thank you.

- Great!

You can help yourself to drinks right through the kitchen.

There's a whole station.

- Thank you so much.

- So how do you know them?

- Okay, you know those neighbors I always say I envy

because they're beautiful and they fuck all the time

but who I also loathe because they're beautiful

and they fuck all the time?

- That's them?!

Oh my god, that's them?

That's them?

- Sort of.

He's the fucker and she is the welder

that's currently repairing the brewery.

Also I think maybe I love her.

I don't know, it's too early to tell.

- I'm confused.

- Yeah me too.

- Thank you.

- This is a really great party that you've thrown.

- I did nothing to make this happen.

This is all because of you.

Romance in the air.

- Oh?

- Lou wasn't looking for love, that's for sure.

But, look look.

- Well most of us aren't when we find it.

- Ooh. - Ooh.

Not all of us have game,

that's for sure.

That's so bad.

Oh no, turn away.

Are you having fun?

- I am.

- Question.

The woman talking to your cousin, who is she?

- Mardou?

That's Theo's sister.

- Hm, interesting.

- Interesting?

What do you mean?

- Oh come on, Janey.

That right there?

That's exactly the way you looked at me in high school.

- Oh, I have no idea what you're talking about.

- Really?

- You girls are beautiful.

- Mm, thanks.

- Don't leave so soon.

- Pendejo.

- What the fuck?

- Keep your hands off us!

- I was just being friendly. - What's going on?

- This guy's being an asshole.

- Come on, I was just being friendly.

- I think you should go.

- You know I meant nothing by it.

You know I'm not one of those guys who disrespects women.

I respect women.

No one respects women as much as me.

- Hre's a tip.

If you make a woman uncomfortable,

it's not respectful.

- You know I didn't understand why Theo left you at first,

but I get it now.

I'm leaving.

I went to Yale!

- Anyone want drinks?

- Bye darling.

- Oh yeah, I'm done buying people, I'm out of money.

- Maybe this will help.

- That was special.

Oh.

That's why we're here.

- When did you say you were going

to dinner with your family?

- What?

- When are you leaving for dinner?

Iris.

When are you leaving for dinner?

- Sex. I mean, six!

Six o'clock.

Six.

Do, you're invited too.

You know, if you wanna come.

- Thanks, but I have a thing.

- Oh, a thing?

- A date.

I have a date.

- Oh.

Well should I expect you back home

or not? - I don't know just yet.

Have fun at your thing.

- Thanks.

- I wanted to say thank you for helping me.

I appreciate you.

Please accept my gift.

Yes, please.

It's my first batch.

I wanted you to have it.

You're welcome?

Welcome.

You're welcome.

Beer.

What did I say?

Oh, bitch!

I'm sorry.

Beer.

Bitch.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize that you were entertaining a lady.

- Oh, I'm not, she's not.

I...

Just wanted to bring you a small gift, say thank you.

I appreciate you.

Without you I would've lost my investor.

Well thank you, that's very nice.

- You're welcome. - But, you know what?

Maybe you can save me a couple

and I'll drink them tomorrow.

I've already had a lot to drink today

and I need to take a nap.

So thank you for the gift.

- You're welcome.

- And you can stay as long as you want.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Okay, I'm going to go.

So I...

Wow.

You're close.

And beautiful.

Oh my god this is happening.

I can't believe this is really happening.

This is all I wanted to happen since you moved in last year.

Okay.

I can't do this.

I want to, I really really want to.

But I can't.

- Because I also want a brewery

and I have to meet with my investor tomorrow.

- Yeah.

- 'Kay, bye.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I brought you some leftovers from dinner.

- Thanks.

Ooh, scrumptious.

- How was your date?

- What?

- Your date.

How was it?

- Oh, my date.

Yeah, I didn't go.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

That's too bad.

- Not really.

I don't know about you,

but leftovers are a far more appealing way

to spend Christmas Eve.

I mean, who needs holiday dates and sex anyways?

- Not me.

- And certainly not me.

- I mean, this is not how I imagined

my Christmas Eve would go.

But the amount of time I've been able to spend

with my friends and family, and with you.

I don't think I'd change anything about it.

- Neither would I.

- Mm, this is so delicious.

Compliments to the chef.

- I will pass the message along to my mom.

Hey, I helped out too.

- Did you actually?

- Mm-hmm, I'm excellent.

You know what else I'm good at?

- What?

- Writing songs.

Uh-huh. - Oh yeah?

- Yeah you're not the only musically gifted one around here.

- Picked that up in the desert did you?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Do you want me to play something for you?

- Yes.

- You ready for this performance?

It's dinner and a show. - Yeah, baby.

Okay.

- Just for you.

- Oh yeah.

- One night only?

- One night only.

- Special, exclusive, intimate concert for you.

Here we go.

Do you like my song, babe?

- I love it.

- It took a lot of effort.

- Hey.

Good morning, wake up.

- What is it?

Is something wrong?

- No, nothing's wrong.

But I need you to get up and get dressed in something warm.

- Why?

- Just get up.

I'll explain in the car.

- The car?

We're going somewhere?

But it's Christmas morning.

- I have coffee

and chocolate croissants waiting for you!

- I'm up.

- Hi.

- I have to go home now, make Mum some breakfast okay?

- Do you want me to go with you?

I make some really good pancakes.

- Well it's sweet for you to offer, baby.

You should stay here with your family.

- You take such good care of your mom.

I just wanna make sure you take some time for you too.

Have you?

- What? Have I what?

- Taken care of yourself?

- Yeah, I mean all I have time for

at the moment really is just taking care of Mum and working.

Things are tight.

But we're making do, you know?

And unless you came up with some magical genie lamp

whilst you were in the desert,

not really sure I can do to make time for myself.

- Let me help.

If we shared responsibilities,

maybe I can give you more time.

- Look, I just don't wanna have to count on anyone, okay?

- 'Kay.

I get it.

I do, I just wish I could help you and your mom.

- Please let me be the one to do it?

- Okay.

Wait, let me at least take you home

so you don't have to take the bus.

- No no, honestly it's fine.

I like taking the bus anyways.

Gives me time to think.

You know, kind of like a mental reset.

Call you later?

Merry Christmas, love.

- Merry Christmas.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Are you gonna tell me where we're going yet?

- Nope.

- Are we at least doing something fun?

- Yes.

- Are we--

- You will see.

We're here.

We're here.

Do you remember on your wedding day

when you offered to donate all of you catered food?

Well, this is where I brought it all.

Let's go serve up some Christmas breakfast.

- I'm a little overdressed.

I thought...

Take off your jacket.

- This looks good on you.

Better.

Come on.

- Hello hello hello!

- How you doing, girl?

- Good, good.

I'm pretty great. - Good, good.

You have a good morning?

- Hey hey hey hey.

Did you know about this?

I mean, I figured you hadn't seen it yet

'cause you don't do the whole social media thing

but you know that singer?

The one that has that song that's like

Anyway, she saw this video, posted about it,

said your tone is divine, something like that.

Anyway, I wanted to show it to you

before we took the stage tonight because,

come here, come here, come here come here.

All right, all right.

Sue, I think most of these people are here to see you.

- Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

Guys, I'm so sorry this happened, guys.

- Why are you sorry?

Why are you apologizing?

This is, we had no idea that you could sing like this.

This is the greatest thing

that's ever happened to this band.

We were thinking that maybe you could do

a song or two tonight.

You know, give the people what they want.

It'd be awesome.

- Where're you--

- What? Where're you going?

Sue.

- I can't do this.

- Can't what?

- Can't do this.

- Sue, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I need to go take care of my mum.

- Right now?

- This is for you guys.

- Thank you.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

Well crap.

Cookie?

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

And, she cooks.

- Theo.

- Sue.

- Leave me alone, Janey.

- No no no, please wait, wait!

I can-- - Don't touch me!

Janey, how could you?

Why?

Why did you...

You know, it doesn't matter.

- No, I was just trying to help.

You have such a good singing voice.

- This is you helping me?

By posting a video of me on the internet?

I don't get it.

- I didn't think this was gonna happen, okay?

Maybe this could be your big break.

- I was fine without you.

- Iris.

Got a million things planned out in my mind to say to you.

And now I can't think of a single one.

And it all boiled down to how incredibly sorry I am

for the mistake I made.

Iris, I am so sorry.

- I'm gonna go.

- No.

You don't have to.

- No I really think I should let you guys get caught up.

- But-- - Honey?

Let Mardou go if she wants to?

I know you probably have somewhere to be today anyways.

Some hot date or chic party.

- Yeah yeah yeah, actually.

Candace, do you remember Candace?

So anyways, Candace likes me and she...

Anyways we, I'm gonna, she's expecting me

so I'm just gonna run off.

I'll probably crash there tonight so yeah, don't wait up.

- Well thanks for watching Iris these past few days.

It means everything to me.

- Bye.

- Sue, everything okay?

I thought you had to work until 10.

- Everything's fine, Mum.

Shift just got canceled.

- You might have seen this video

scrolling around the internet these past few days

of a mystery woman singing

while Christmas shoppers pass her by.

- Some of today's biggest brightest music stars

have noticed it too and some are asking,

"Who is this woman and how can I make a record with her?"

- How long have you been standing there?

- Long enough to know why you left work early.

Honey, did you know this was happening?

- Nope.

No, I had no idea.

- Who?

- Janey.

Yeah, Janey took the video, Janey posted the video online.

Janey.

- How do you know?

- She turned up at work and admitted to doing it.

She tried to sell me some bullshit story

about how she was proud of me.

She just posted the video because she was proud?

Yeah.

But I don't get it.

She knows me, Mum.

She knows I have anxiety.

Yeah okay, fine.

I'm working on it.

Sure, by working at the pub and busking.

But singing, well that's a whole nother level of anxiety.

- Are you certain that she knows

how bad your anxiety's become?

I mean, when it comes to your feelings,

you're about as clear as mud!

You know, those reporters are right.

You have a gift.

The way you sing, I don't know but sometimes I think

that if I had better able to support your talent--

- Mum, that has nothing to do with it.

- I should've been able to go to all your recitals

and concerts and been cheering in the audience

when you were little.

But I didn't! - Mum, shh.

Mum, that was never in your control.

And it's definitely not your fault either.

- I'm so sorry.

- You don't need to apologize for anything.

- Thank you.

For everything.

What?

You're not cursing me for bringing you here

after our date, are you?

I know I know I know.

Okay.

Only six more days until New Year.

Then I am all yours, I promise.

And I think you...

Beautiful.

- That's it, I think.

- Thank you for helping me today.

You didn't have to.

- I know, I wanted to.

- Yeah, but it can't be easy for you.

It certainly isn't easy for me either but--

- Theo, I know I sometimes didn't always show it

the way I should've, but you mean a lot to me.

No matter what.

- You mean a lot to me too.

Let's get this load down to the truck

while it's still light out.

- Hey, guys.

How is everything?

Are you good?

- Perfect, great.

Are you the person that makes the beer?

- Yes.

- And Kenna works with you?

- welder.

What?

- What?

- I said she is my welder.

What is so funny?

- Sorry, so this is the sign for welder.

- Welder.

Okay, so what is this?

- Lesbian.

- Oh!

- You're not wrong.

She is your lesbian.

- I have to go.

Bye.

- Hi.

- So Theo?

- Is gone.

We packed up all of his stuff and moved him out today.

What about you?

This place looks great.

- Oh, thank you.

- And you look like you couldn't be happier.

- I am, I am happy.

- Please tell me you're the one

having all the loud apartment sex now?

- Yup.

- Everything okay?

- Yeah, it's fine.

Everything is good.

- Oh god.

- Everything's going to be okay, honey.

Just play the guitar.

That okay?

- Absolutely.

Nowhere in your contract does it dictate

how you have to do this performance

so if you're just comfortable playing your guitar

then you do that, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

I'm going to go make sure Lou is ready to announce you.

I'll be right back.

Okay, you got this.

- Ready?

Yeah, you're ready.

- Hey, would you do me a favor and check on Sue?

See if she's ready?

- Sure, where is she?

- She is right in my office.

- Great.

- Thank you.

- Hello and good evening everyone,

and welcome to the grand opening of the Bramble Brewery!

- Mardou, what are you...

Hi.

- Hi.

How's Theo?

- He's fine.

We got all of his stuff packed up

and moved out this morning.

- Wait what?

- Why what?

What part of what I said made you say what?

- And now to kick off

what I know is gonna be an amazing new year for us all,

I would like to introduce talented singing sensation

and dear friend, Sue Linder!

- Theo moved out?

Why?

- He didn't tell you?

We decided that we just don't fit very well together

and that we're better off as friends--

- I'm sorry, I shouldn't, I shouldn't have done that.

I just--

What will we tell Theo?

- He already knows.

Everyone knows.

- What?

- Being around you made me realize

I had to think about what I truly wanted.

It turns out, Theo wanted the same thing.

For both of us to be happy.

But happiness isn't something

that he and I can give each other.

When he asked me what makes me happy,

I told him you.

Mardou, all my life I've been so concerned

with being the person I thought everyone wanted me to be

that I forgot who I was.

But you, you made me remember myself.

- And when you told him all of this,

how did he...

- It didn't surprise him.

- It didn't?

- So, he's always known that I'm bi

and he said that-- - Wait.

You're bi?

- Yeah.

He said that he always thought

that you and I would be perfect for each other.

- So did I.

You're bi.

- Oh yeah.

Thank you so much, thank you.

Thanks guys.

Okay and now I would like to invite

some gorgeous human beings to the stage, pretty please.

A round of applause to my gorgeous, gorgeous band.

- Are you okay?

How are you doing?

- I just didn't know Sue was gonna be here.

- We didn't tell anyone.

We didn't make the announcement until yesterday

'cause we didn't wanna get overwhelmed by the turnout.

- Yeah I know, you guys are doing amazing.

This is an amazing turnout.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Your girl's amazing.

- I can get you a drink if you want.

Just stay.

- Look who's coming.

- Can we go talk somewhere?

- Yeah.

- Sue, I-- - Look, I know

what you're gonna say, okay?

So please just let me speak.

You're gonna apologize for betraying my trust,

for hurting me, for sharing a part of me

that wasn't yours to share.

Look, Janey, when you posted that video,

I know that you didn't expect it to become what it did.

But despite your good intentions,

what you did was wrong.

You can't expect me to forgive you for that.

- I know.

- Forgiveness takes time.

Time I don't wanna waste.

Time I refuse to waste.

So I'm not gonna waste it.

Because I love you.

I love you, Janey.

And I'd rather be kissing you right now

than saying all the things that already knew

that we were gonna say.

Kiss me.

I love you.

- I love you too.

- All right, it's almost New Years.

Grab yourselves some champaign, grab your smooch partner,

and let's do the damn thing.

- Five, four, three, two, one, happy new year!
