* Have yourself
A merry little Christmas *

* Let your heart be light *

* Next year all our troubles
Will be out of sight *

How about this one, Mom?

Oh, it's nice, but we need
to keep it under 9 feet.

Twelve-footer, ma'am. You won't
find a prettier tree than that.

Thanks, but our ceilings
aren't that high.

There's another one
over here.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

JESSICA:
How do we get the tree
on top of the car?

I don't know.

Mom, I think
we should call Dad.

Hi, Clare.
Why?

To come put the tree
on top of the car.

No, Jess,
we can do it.

We can't reach.
It's heavy, Mom.

No, I'm listening.
Stop talking about him.

It makes her feel bad.

I know we decided on a matte
finish for the master bath.

JACKIE:
I thought
you were in Tahiti.

I didn't go.
Henry had a meeting in China.

How fast can you get here?

You are so good
to come, Jackie,

but the painters took off. And I
have this tasting...

Hi, kids.
WILL: Hi.

...with the caterer for
Henry's Christmas party.

I'm so sorry.
I'll call you tomorrow.

JACKIE:
Okay.

[CAR STARTING]

We just drove
a half an hour to get here.

I know, sweetie.

You should fire her.

[CHUCKLES]
I can't fire her.
She's my client.

So, fire her anyway.

No. She's my boss.
It doesn't work that way.

Come on,
honey.

Come on, Mom. Careful!

Oh, Mom...
JACKIE: Yeah, I'm fine.

Take this, Will.
WILL: Okay.

Okay.
JESSICA: This way.

Okay. So, I'm gonna
put this together

and then we'll put
the Christmas tree
through here.

You guys will
lift it up and hold it

and I will
tighten the screws.

JESSICA:
Well, Daddy has
a very smart one.

Yeah, Dad has the new
no-tip, no-tilt,
tap-a-toe stand.

Well, we have this
perfectly lovely little
Christmas tree stand

that's been around
since before you were born.

It's very old.

Well, we don't trade it in

just because there's
something new out there.

So, we are gonna honor
this Christmas tree stand.

[LOUD CLANKING]

Even if it is old.

[SIGHS]

There.

Can we put
the lights on?

Yeah.

You know, let's take
a break and eat.

WILL:
No, not yet.

[SIGHS]
Melinda lets us eat
when we want.

That's because Melinda
is Daddy's girlfriend
and not your mother,

and it's not her job
to tell you when to eat.
It's mine.

So let's eat.

I just think that
when you're dealing
with a print fabric,

it's always best to coordinate
from the background color.

And keep the accents
the same throughout?
The magnolia white?

Or Barcelona white,
which is warmer.

Mmm.

[SIGHS]
And one last thing
I meant to ask you.

This Christmas party, Jackie,
we'd love to have you.

I know it's your first
Christmas since the divorce.

Oh, well, thank you.
That's so sweet,

but I'm spending Christmas Eve
with my kids.

But thanks
for thinking of me.

I know how
the holidays can be.

Yeah. I appreciate it.

See you in the morning.

Okay.

[LIGHTS SHATTERING]

[EXCLAIMS]

[SIGHS]

WILL:
Ah, that looks so good.

Okay, we've got 10 minutes.
Will, would you get the music?

Can I DJ?
Yes, you can.

Yes.
And Jess, um... Ah!

Put these in the dining room.
Okay.

And that on the bar. Great.
Okay.

Hi, Daddy.
Hey, Jess. Merry Christmas!

Hi, Melinda.

Merry Christmas.
Hi.

Thought we would save
some time in the morning

by delivering
the presents tonight.

Uh, Dan, my Christmas
party's about to start.

It is?
Hi, Melinda.

Hi, Jackie.

Could you just put those
presents under the tree?

That'd be great.
Okay.

I see you got Will
a snowboard.

Yeah. I wanted him
to have it for the trip.

I thought we said
no big gifts. We agreed.

It's not
a competition, Jackie.

Can I turn this off?

Yeah, you know what?
I'm running late.

Don't let the kids stay up
too late tonight.

I need them by 9:00.
Flight's at noon.

Jackie, this one's for you.

Daniel said it's
your birthday this week.

It is. Thank you.

Turning the big
4-0. Wow.

It's designer sweats.
Juicy Couture.

I know how you totally
live in your sweatshirt.

So I thought maybe you'd like
a new one. A fancier one?

It's really comfy.

Well, that's
so thoughtful of you.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

Um, can I open this later?

Okay. Sure.
Yeah, sure.

Okay.
Well, merry Christmas.

[TURNS ON BLENDER]

* Dashing through the snow *

* In a one-horse open sleigh *

Hey!
KRISTINE: No, I'm listening.

So, they're just
standing there, waiting
for me to open this gift.

What a jerk.

Will, don't forget next week.
Your mom's birthday.

WILL: I know.
What a jerk.

You think it's jerky?
Absolutely.

To come here unannounced
with Melinda on Christmas Eve?

Jackie, you're
way too forgiving.

I totally would've
chewed his head off.

Do you think I totally
live in this sweatshirt?

Um, you have been in it
a lot lately,

and I think I was with you
when you bought it
20 years ago.

Oh, give me a break.
I didn't have time to change.

But, um, do you...
Do you agree with Melinda?

Well, who cares?

Clearly, you're in that
"don't pay attention to me

"'cause I'm broken
and healing,

"and I'm closed for shop
and mentally not interested
in sex" phase.

Trust me,
you'll get over it.

What are you talking about?
Daniel's girlfriend.

Oh, my God,
I meant to tell you.

I saw her at the supermarket
last week. She's, like, 16.

Ah, nice, Annie,
not helpful.

What? I'm sorry,
but it's true.

Jackie's prettier,
of course, and smarter.

What was Daniel
thinking?

Uh, he's thinking she looks 16.
Mmm-hmm.

Is Melinda
the one-night stand
or the other one?

Oh, no, no, no.
She's the girlfriend.

Six months, and
she's not 16. She's 28.

Does anybody want
more champagne?

No, thank you.
I'm driving.

No, we're having
wine with dinner.

We gotta get going.
ANNIE: Oh.

MAN: You ready to roll?
ANNIE: Mmm-hmm.

No, wait.
Where are you going?

Well, we have
reservations at 8:00.

Well, I made
all of this food for...

Oh.
You're not leaving, right?

Oh, crap, I'm sorry,
sweetie. Are you okay?

You know what? Never mind.
Brian and I will stay.

We can stay, too.
No, no, no. I'm sorry.

You know what? I just didn't
want my party to end.

It's okay.
You guys go.

We understand.
Just go. Have a good time.

Oh, sweetie, are you
sure? You okay?

You're doing great.

ANNIE: We'll make it up to you.
Okay.

Mischa!
Thank you.

Um, you know, we gotta
get to the grandparents,

but, um, we'll be back
for the leftovers.

Hi, sweetie.
Time to go.

Okay.
Okay.

Yay, yay.

[***]

Mom, I'll help.

Oh, no, no.
You need your sleep.

It's an early
morning tomorrow.

Your birthday's coming up.
December 30th?

Yeah. Yeah.
Thirtieth.

Maybe we shouldn't
go skiing.

Why not?

Maybe we should
be here.

For my birthday?

Yeah. I mean,
you shouldn't be alone,

like, all by yourself
on your birthday.

I'm not gonna be alone.
I'll be with my girlfriends.

You don't have
to worry about that.

But shouldn't we
have a party?

You know what? We'll have
cake when you get back.

But you're gonna
have some fun
on the day, right?

Yes. I am gonna
have so much fun

that I'm gonna
track you down, call you,

and make you sing
Happy Birthdaytome.

Promise?
Promise. Go to bed.

Night, Mom.
Good night.

Love you.
Love you, too.

[SIGHS]

This chocolate Santa
was in your stocking.

But you're not really
eating sweets, right?

No, you can have it.
Just don't eat it
for breakfast.

Yeah. I love you.
I love you.

I love you.
I love you.

JESSICA: Bye, Mom.
I love you, Mom.

I love you, too.
Have fun.

Merry Christmas!

BOTH:
Merry Christmas!

Hey, when are
your kids back?

The day
before New Year's.

Oh.

I thought you guys
were two-weeks on,
two-weeks off?

Yeah, usually we are.
It's just, you know,
the holidays.

Why?

Happy birthday.

I'm taking you to Hawaii
for your birthday.

What?

A quickie,
three days, three nights,

at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

We'll get tans and massages
and drink pretty drinks
poolside.

Kristine!

What?
You're my best friend.

You're turning 40,
and so am I soon,

and we absolutely
deserve this.

Thank you.

I don't know
if it can work, Jackie.
We got a party that night.

Uh, well, can you
hire a sitter?

Think I'll find somebody
on New Year's Eve?

Dad totally sucks
at board sports!

Well, thank you, Will.
Dad bailed seven times!

Thank you. May I have
my phone back, please?

Listen, I'm gonna
have to ask Melinda.

What, wait. My first
vacation in three years

is being held hostage
by a 28-year-old?

She's gonna be 29
in March.

Oh, she's that old?

DANIEL:
All right.
I'll see what I can do.

No, just let me know
as soon as you can.

[WOMAN ANNOUNCING ON PA]

Jackie! Jackie.
Hey.

My grandmother fell
and broke her hip.

Oh, my...
Is she gonna be okay?

I hope so. I've gotta
go to the hospital

and speak with the doctors.

There's no one else
to do it.

She sounds
really scared.

Oh, God. Okay, let's go.
Where are you going?

I'm gonna drive you.
You're getting on this flight.

No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.

No, I am not.

Jackie!
Kristine, I am not.

Jackie, stop acting
like a five-year-old.

But...
Everything is paid for.

This is... This is
your birthday present.

What am I gonna do alone?

Same thing we would
do together.

Get tanned, get massaged,
sleep in.

Besides, if you don't go,
I'll feel really horrible.

Oh, I know.

You know, you're right.
I have to go.

I promised Will.
You promised Will what?

I promised him
I would do something
fun on my birthday.

So I told him I was going.
And he was very excited.

Great. Wonderful.
Go for Will, then.

You martyr.

Oh, thank you so much.

You're welcome.
Have fun.

Okay.
I'm gonna have fun.

Okay. You have fun. Yes.
Love to your grandma.

Get on the plane.

Thank you!

Of course.
Call me when you settle in.

Give me all the details,
so I can be jealous.

Our friends hate
that we got divorced.

You know. But, I mean,
me and Daniel,
we had our differences.

And not to mention
that he was cheating.

But my point is, I've never
been on vacation by myself.

Ever.

Mmm.

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you. You get
what I'm saying?

Yes. I think
I get it.

Is that it?

Yeah.

Mmm.

My only point was
is that I'm almost 40,

and I feel like I'm
my daughter starting
school, you know?

"Will it be fun?
Will I make friends?"

Have you ever
felt that way?

No. I like
to travel alone.

Oh, right. Oh, you're
working. I see that.

I have a book.
So I'll read my book.

Quiet.

Aloha, welcome to
the Royal Hawaiian.

Thank you.

Aloha, Ms. Laurens.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

WAITER:
Ma'am, let me get you
a lounge chair.

Oh, thank you.

Ma'am.

Oh, I didn't
order a drink.

This is from the gentleman
across the pool.

JACKIE: Thank you.
WAITER: My pleasure.

[EXCLAIMS]

Hi, I'm Michael.

Hi, Michael.

I sent the drink over.
Yeah, thanks.

So, you're on vacation?

Yeah, yeah.
Uh, just got here.

Yeah, we've been here
since before Christmas.

Kind of a work-play,
sort of hybrid trip.

Conventions and all that stuff.
Hmm.

We're orthodontists.
Oh, okay.

Did you have any work
done on your teeth?
They're perfect.

Not since I was 12.

That was what,
last year?

Ha.

So, I don't think
I caught your name.

I don't think
I threw it.

Great. You're not
one of those ladies

who's gonna go around
giving guys a hard time?

'Cause I gotta tell you,
I'm not getting off this chair

until you agree
to have dinner with me.

KYLE:
Excuse me, miss.

I believe you signed up
for a surf lesson today,

and it looks like
you're running late.

So, I'll grab your bag
and towel, but, uh...

If you want to come with me
to the beach right now...

Oh, yeah.
Surf lesson.

That's why I came to Hawaii.
To learn how to surf.

Yeah, and I'm sorry
I kept you.

Yeah. No worries at all.
Okay.

Um...

JACKIE:
Sorry, Michael.
Nice to meet you.

Thank you for saving me.
Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas
to you, too.

So, how about a lesson?

For real?
Why not?

Why? You can't teach
an old dog new tricks.

What dog?
And who's old?

[CHUCKLING]

Well, thanks,
but I... No.

Okay. Well, if you
change your mind, I'm around.

By the way,
the name's Kyle.

Kyle. I'm Jackie.

Thanks again for rescuing me.
It was my pleasure.

[EXCLAIMING]

JACKIE:
Shoot! Hot sand.

Hi. Are you here
for a lesson?

Um, yes.

Let me take your name
and room number.

Yeah, it's Jackie, Room 276.
Jackie.

Jackie, 276. Do you have
an instructor in mind?

No.
No?

Good, I'll sign you up
with Karen.

Oh, wait. You know what?
There's someone I met.

Uh, Kyle.

Um...
Kyle's booked.

Can I give you a call
if someone cancels?

No, no. Oh, no.
That won't be necessary.

Oh, it's no bother. Really.
No. No bother. I'm good.

"Old dog"?
You actually said that?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, he made me
so nervous.

Yeah, but that was
your excuse?

That you're 40 and you can't
try something new?

Well, it does sound stupid
hearing it back.

It is stupid.

Okay. Hey, how is
your grandmother?

Oh, scared. And hates hospitals.
I'm really glad I stayed.

Mmm, I'm sorry.

How's the room?

Oh, the room is gorgeous,
Kristine. Thank you so much.

KYLE:
Jackie?

Um, Kris,
can I call you back?

Sure.

Hi.
You were looking for me?

No.

Really? 'Cause Tommy said
you came by for a lesson.

Oh, yeah, that.
Well, you convinced me.

And you know,
you're all booked.

Actually, I have a cancellation
tomorrow at 5:00.

So, last session
of the day?

No, no. That's okay.
I'm good.

You know, surf wisdom says
that you've gotta swim out

of your comfort zone
to catch the wave that's
gonna change your life.

Surfing's going
to change my life?

See you tomorrow
at 5:00.

[***]

KYLE:
Great. Now, just keep
your knees bent

and your head in the center
of the board.

Just like you're dancing.
Aah!

All right. It tips, remember?
Uh...

Yeah. You know,
can't we go out when
it's a little less wavy?

No, no. See, we actually
want waves. We're looking
for that. Waves, uh...

Waves are good.

That good?

Remember to keep your head
in the center of the board,
and relax.

Here we go.

Watch your step.

Scootch down on your board.

Little more.
More?

Little more.
More?

A little more. You're good.
More?

Aah!
Paddle.

I want you to
get to your knees,
relax and paddle.

[GRUNTING]

All right, let's find you
a good wave.

One, two, three, go!

Paddle. There you go. Paddle!
Good job!

Up on your knees,
Jackie. Your knees.

Nice. Your feet.

[YELLING]

Almost. What happened?

[GROANING]

I lost my balance.

Right. 'Cause you didn't
keep your head

in the center of the board
like I told you.

Next time
do as you're told.

Come on.

Paddle.

Up on your feet,
Jackie! Up!

[EXCLAIMING]

Yeah! Go! Go!

[SCREAMING]

All right, you're
getting up next time.
I guarantee it.

What makes you say that?

There are guys who are
78 years old out here,

doing this every day.
Plus, you're a natural.

Now stop stalling
and get back on the board.

Come on, up and at 'em.
Let's go.

How much have I taught you?
What did we practice
on the beach?

Get on here.
Up and at 'em.

And start paddling.
Let's go.

Paddling?
Paddling.

Me?
Yes.

That's what you're for.

I'm doing it.

Go, Jackie!

Are you watching?

That was great!

Awesome!

How about a drink?
On me.

Yeah. Cool.

[JACKIE LAUGHING]

So, what brings you
to Hawaii? Vacation or work?

Vacation.

Actually, this was a gift
from a friend of mine,

but she couldn't come
because her grandmother fell.

It's for my birthday.
My 40th.

Nice. When's your birthday?

Tomorrow. Or tonight
in a few hours.

Well, happy birthday.

[SOMBERLY]
Thanks. Woo-hoo.

So, you're from Malibu?

Yeah.
Why did you move to Hawaii?

The long version
or the short?

I have time.
Okay. Um...

Well, for starters, my dad
is an avid sailor, right?

So, when I was
12 years old,

he competed in this race
called the Transpacific.

It goes from LA to Hawaii.
And they brought me along.

So, after we...
Closer to the end
of the race...

Hi, here you are.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Here you go.

Yeah?

It's 12 long days
at sea.

We're at the end
of this race here.

And we're sailing through
the Molokai Channel,

and there's just
an incredible sunrise.

And we go on,
we see Diamond Head.

It's amazing.

We keep going.
We just come up,

we see rows and rows
of surfers just hitting
the curl at dawn.

And as cheesy
as this may sound,

it was one of
the most beautiful things
I've ever seen in my life.

So I said to myself
that I had to live
here someday.

And now I do.

Wow. It's a good story.
It's definitely
beautiful here.

What?

No. Nothing.

No, what?

You are really beautiful.

Thank you.

I remember that
compliment long ago.

You know, Kyle, um...

When I asked you for a drink,
I wasn't hitting on you.

I mean, I haven't
been with anyone

but my husband
since I was 26.

You know, so this was
a drink. That's it.

Yeah.

[MOANING]

MAN:
Get a room, will you?

Do you have a room?
Well, actually, I do.

What's wrong?

It feels like
it's the first time.

Because it is.

With me.

Did you have fun?

I did. Thank you.

It was my pleasure.

Thank you.

Mmm.
I gotta run.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SNIFFLING]

[CRYING]

JACKIE:
So, the door slams
and he's gone

and I... I end up
blubbering like a baby
till 3:00 in the morning.

And that's how
I rang in my 40th.

But, I mean,
that's not the point.

My point is, is that,
as a grown-up,

aren't I supposed
to be able to handle

these ridiculously stupid
decisions that I make,

and not end up in a ball
all wet and snotty
all night?

Oh, okay. So,
[DOORBELL RINGS]

it's a sign of maturity
to have zero feelings?

Well, thank God
my coffee's here. Hang on.

Hi.

Good morning.

I'll call you back.

Call me back.

What are you doing here?

I decided
I would take the day off

to help you
celebrate your birthday.

Oh. Well, I...
I already ordered breakfast.

Great. I'm starving.

I had no idea fish
could be so beautiful.

Gorgeous, huh?
Amazing.

[WOMAN YELLING IN FRENCH]

[BOY GROANING]

Ooh, buddy. He got
stung by a jellyfish.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I don't speak English
very well.

[BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH]

Hey, could you grab
the bottle of vinegar
from my bag, please?

KYLE:
You're gonna be okay.

Thank you very much.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I know it stings.
You're okay.

[GROANING]
Here you go, buddy.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

JACKIE:
Will, that's so sweet
of you to call.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Thanks, hun.
Is Jessica there?

It's Mom.

Happy birthday!

Hey, Jess!

Are you having fun
in Hawaii?

Oh, yes. I saw
the most beautiful fish.

And we saw a turtle, too.

No way! A big one?
You wouldn't believe how...

Mom, I have to go because
we're having hot chocolate

and Melinda's back.

Okay.

I wish you were here,
but we got you a present.

Oh, well, I can't wait.
I love you, honey.

Love you.
Happy birthday.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Lunch.

You were really good
with that boy today.

Oh, thanks. I've seen
that injury a few times.

All right, so, I got
my three favorite things,

Mahi tacos
with pineapple relish,

Portuguese rolls
with guava jelly.

Amazing. And Kona coffee
to wash it all down.

I'm sorry.
But I'm not that hungry.

That's funny how
you keep saying that,
but I just don't believe it.

Eat.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

[MUMBLING]

There you go, see,
got a mouthful.

It's good. It's really good.
Mmm.

Really?
Really good.

Okay, now try a bite
of this Portuguese roll.

Who's a big girl?
Come on.

Oh, wow!

Why does everything
taste better outdoors?

It does, right?

I think I'll have
another bite.

Dig in.

So, where'd you learn
to speak French?

I spent a year
surfing in France. You?

I took it in high school.

Then I went to
the Sorbonne in Paris
for grad school in design.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]
You're ringing.

Ah, it's a client.
I have to take this.

What do you mean?
It's your birthday.

Blow them off.
I wish I could, but I can't.

Wait, what?
Why can't you?

She's one of
my biggest clients.

Okay, well, then tell her
you lost your phone
in a waterfall.

What waterfall?
Waihi.

Waihi?
Mmm-hmm.

It's absolutely beautiful.
I'm not gonna let you miss it.

Unlike this call,
which you just did.

Oops.

Come on, kook.

Did you call me kook?

Watch your step.

Wow. It's beautiful.

Check it out.

[WHOOPING]

This is it.

Oh, wow.
It's really lovely.

Yeah. All 800 square
feet of it.

[CHUCKLING]
No, it is.
I mean, I like it.

Takes a lot of thought to make
a home clean and simple.

Yeah. It's a choice.

It is. You know,
with space and light.

I'm always telling
my clients they need
to get rid of the clutter.

You know,
let in the light.

Exactly.

You know, I think I'm gonna
jump in the shower real quick.

Why don't you?

Speaking of clutter,
do you make drugs?

No.

What is all this?

This is all-natural,
non-petroleum,
non-toxic surf wax.

I make it from scratch.

Surf wax.

You ever heard of the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch?

No. What is it?

It's between
California and Hawaii.

And it's just essentially
a gigantic heap of trash

caught in the vortex
of all these currents, right?

But the thing is massive.
It's like the size of Texas.

Sounds horrible.

So, my stuff
is biodegradable.

That way it doesn't
add to the mess.

It's kind of like my way of,
uh, you know, chipping in.

Check this out.

It's a guy from LA,
Michael Larkin.
He wants to market it.

He made me
an offer up front.

In fact, he still calls me
every other day about it.

Well, have you
called him back?

No.
Why not?

'Cause I'm
an amateur in life

and I prefer to
keep it that way.

So, what are you saying?
You don't like professionals?

No, I'm saying that
not everything needs
to be exploited.

I'm gonna take a shower.

JACKIE:
Yes, this is
Kyle Hamilton's assistant,

calling for Mr. Larkin.

Uh, yeah, can you,
um, tell him

that Mr. Hamilton
would like to
schedule a meeting

the next time
he's in Hawaii?

Thank you.

What did you just do?

Do you want me
to do it for real?

Oh, that was fake?

It's 10:00 in L.A.

Because, you know,
you have to swim out
of your comfort zone

to catch the wave
of your life.
Or something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's... That's it.

So, what you're saying
is that I should just
get over it someday?

Someday.

So, nothing too dressy,
right?

Right. I don't get
to watch you change?

No.

Why not?

Because all
of the lights are on,

and I've had
two children.

I mean,
not that I'm complaining.

As you shouldn't
because you happen
to look beautiful.

Thank you.

Hey, how about this?

That looks great.

Thank you.

How old are you?

Does it matter?

Am I breaking the law?

Twenty-seven.

I'm definitely not
dressing in front of you.

Hey, you know
what you need?

What do I need?

A bikini.

That's exactly
what I don't need.

Get over it.

[JACKIE CHUCKLING]

Someday. Maybe.

KYLE:
Well, what went wrong?

I don't know. Um...

We both met when
we were 24 in Paris.

And two years later,
he proposed.

We got the first house,
had the first child.
Then the second.

And then I realized
I wasn't seeing him anymore.

He was working.
I was working.

But when we would go home,

we'd spend more time
with the kids than each other.

And then?

And then...

My birthday cake came.

Yeah, well, make a wish.

WOMAN ON PA:
Aloha, welcome to Honolulu
International Airport.

Passengers arriving
for Flight 17,
due for Los Angeles,

please proceed
to baggage area...

Well, Kyle.

Well, Jackie.

It's really nice
to meet you.

Come here.

I, uh... I got you
a little something.

Just a token
to remember your stay.

Thank you.
It's nice to meet you.

You already said that.

Right. Take care.

Okay. Have
a safe flight.

Okay.

Happy new year.
Happy new year.

[CROWD CHEERING]

CROWD:
Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three,
two, one.

Happy new year!

Will, I so know what
you feel like on your board.

I mean, I felt like a bird.
Like I was flying.

That's epic sick, Mom!
You got up, brah?

Yeah, brah.
WILL: This is awesome.

Look at me.
I'm sick, too.

You're so sick!
Can I wear this to school?

Yeah. With a long-sleeved
shirt, so you don't freeze
to death.

Mom, we got you stuff.
It's your birthday.

JACKIE: Oh.
It's from both of us.

I drew the card.

Oh, do I have to read it?

Mommy!

I'm sorry. Okay.

"To Mom.
Happy Birthday, Mom.

Love, Jessica and William."

Beautiful. Thank you.
So sweet. I love it.

Oh, wow! It's beautiful.

WILL:
That's an aspen leaf.

It's for your keys.

Oh, I love it.
Thank you.

That's so sweet
of you guys.

You know what?
I missed you so much.

Give me hugs.
Come here.

BOTH:
We missed you, too, Mom.

Oh, we're in
the perfect position
for tickle torture!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[WOMAN LAUGHING]

It was fun.
What more do you want?

Details. Look at her,
she's beaming!

Is this about
the one-night stand?

You had a one-night stand?

Oh, yes. And one night
turned into two

when he showed up
at her room the next morning.

No way.
Start with his name.

His name, Kyle Hamilton.

[CHUCKLING]
How old is he?

Twenty-seven.

[EXCLAIMING]
Twenty-seven?

Twenty-seven
and a surf instructor.

Oh, my goodness!
And you had sex with him?

Two days and two nights
of just amazing...

It was amazing?

You know, and I owe it
all to Kristine.

How does one go about
paying you back?

Oh, well, I'm just glad
to see you happy.

You know, like my grandmama
always said,

"The only way
to get over a man
is to get under another."

Your grandmother said that?

Yes, she did.

Happy birthday, Jackie.
Thank you.

You're moving on.
To moving on.

ALL:
To moving on.

[LADIES LAUGHING]

When I was rushing to pack,
I forgot my charger,

and then I got there
and my phone was dead.

Couldn't you use
the hotel phone?

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Excuse me.
It's Jessica's school.

Hello?
KYLE: What are you wearing?

Jeans and a shirt.
How are you?

I'm good. How are you?
Very busy.

Sounds like
you need a vacation.

I think you should
come back to Hawaii.

I get vacations
every five years.

Come on, Jackie.
That's no way to live.

Probably not.
But I'm with a client.
Can I call you back?

Yeah. Hey,
but think about it.

I'd really like
to see you again.

I'll call you back.

It was a fling.

Yeah. That's what
I thought until he called.

So, was it a fling?

He's a kid, come on.

He's young.
I mean, maybe if
he weren't in his 20s.

Excuse me?
Have you not heard
of the Moore Phenomenon?

Demi? Julianne Moore?

They're both married
to guys that are 10 years
younger than them.

And Katie Couric?
She's in her 50s and
her boyfriend's in his 30s.

Katie Couric's boyfriend
is a banker, not a surfer.

Oh, yes. But Kyle is
a surf instructor.

A surf instructor, um,
who speaks French.

Did I tell you he speaks French?
You mentioned it.

What if he's a psycho?
What if he's stalking you?

What if he's a psycho who stalks
lonely, more mature women?

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Oh, come on,
40 is not that mature.

And she's not lonely.
Well, I'm a little lonely.

No, but you're not, you know,
desperate, are you?

No, maybe Nicole's right.

I mean, maybe he just hits
on a different tourist
every week.

Yeah, and chops them up
into little pieces and
puts them in his freezer.

Oh, he was sweet.
And he was very tender
in a way.

Tender, as in the way
he cooks you, and then
we never see you again.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay, you guys,
give it up. Give it up.

Maybe this guy is
the love of Jackie's life.

There's my baby!

Hi, girls.

So, you're taking
the kids for break?

Are you planning a trip?

Not yet.

Well, I am. So I thought
I'd run this by you.

You going to Hawaii
to see your boy toy?

Annie told Phil.
Phil told me.

God, Jackie.

That's really beneath you.

Actually, I was
thinking of seeing
my mom in Connecticut.

It's my two weeks,
so it's really none of
your business where I go.

Whatever, dude.
Surf's up.

Why do you
even talk to him?

Who?

Dad.

What do you mean?

He always makes you
upset. I saw you.

Oh, sweetheart,
I'm sorry.

Sometimes your dad and I
have disagreements,

and we have to compromise.

I'm sorry
you saw me grumpy.

You were happy
when you got back
from your trip.

Now you're sad again.

[CAR ALARM CHIRPS]

I'm not sad.
Really, I'm not.

I like it better
when you're happy.

KYLE ON ANSWERING MACHINE:
Hey, you've reached
Kyle Hamilton. Leave it here.

Hi, Kyle. It's, um,
Jackie Laurens.

I was just thinking
about what you said

and, um, wondered
if you were still interested

in, you know,
getting together again.

So, there. Okay. Um...

Call me if you want. Bye.

[SIGHING]

WOMAN ON PA:
For your safety,
please do not leave baggage

or personal belongings
unattended.

For your safety,
please do not leave baggage

or personal belongings
unattended.

He's not even here.

[SIGHS]

What am I doing?

That's what I'm doing.

Ah!

Not bad.
You did great.

Thanks.

Did I tell you
Will's into snowboarding?

Mmm-mmm.
He's, um, crazy about it.

He's obsessed with
this Gretchen Bleiler girl.

Oh, yeah. She, uh...
She won the gold
at the X Games, right?

Oh, I don't know
about the X Games,

but blonde, cute, 17.

So Will's into
the older women, too?

Yeah. I guess so.

Smart kid.

How about Jess?

Jessica's more
of the brain.

And she's really smart,
stubborn when she wants to be.

I really miss them.

I bet you do.
No, but they would love it here.

Will would love to
learn how to surf.

Why don't you bring them
out next time?

MAN ON RADIO:
It's hot in downtown Denver
this Fourth of July weekend

with temperatures reaching
into the 90s.

Stay out of the sun,
please, girls.

I can't wait
till summer's over,
and they're back in school.

Nicole, you gotta see
these photos from Jackie.

Did she e-mail you?
No.

Well, apparently
this guy's some kind
of amateur photographer...

She's gone, like, four times
in the last six months.

Wow. She's surfing.
She looks like
she's good at it, too.

It's a six-hour flight.
Half a day there,
half a day back.

This is a colossal waste
of time, don't you think?

I don't know.
I've never been.

Nicole, she's having
a midlife crisis.

But instead of dyeing
her hair and taking yoga,

she's flying halfway
to Japan once a month.

This is serious.

Wow! Is that the guy?

He's hot.

I guess.

No, he is. He's hot.

Oh, my goodness.
Look at those shoulders.
Look at his pecs.

Okay, okay.

We have to talk
some sense into her.

You're probably right.

Go back one.

Ooh.

Hey, I wanna
ask you something.

Shoot.

Actually, I've been meaning
to ask you for a while, but...

Back in Denver, uh...

You're not dating a bunch
of mountain men, are you?

'Cause I just have
this image of these guys
in flannel shirts

with grizzly beards, and...

No.

Okay, good,
'cause I just...

I don't like
the idea of that.

What are you saying?

What am I saying? Um...
I guess I'm saying that...

I really like you.

And I want you
to be my girl.

You like me, and you want me
to be your girl.

Yeah.

And not date anyone else?

No.

What about you?

I'm gonna date
whoever I want.

[BOTH LAUGH]

No, but seriously.
How about it?

I'd love to be your girl.

Wow, you look amazing.

Thank you.
I feel good.

The gang's all here.
Hey, you guys.

Hi.

How was your trip?

It was fine.
What's going on?

You've been to Hawaii
four times since Christmas.

Do you know that?

Yes, I do.
What's the big deal?

If it's not a big deal,
why are you keeping it
such a secret?

Uh, you know,
I'm not.

It's just that
I'm not kissing and
telling all the time.

How are you ever gonna
get used to being single

if you keep running off
to Hawaii?

I'm not single.
I have a boyfriend.

He's your boyfriend now?
Well, what about back here?

There's lots of guys
we could set you up with.

Oh, you guys
have never set me up,

not once this whole year.

We will now.

Nicole's right.
You belong here.

Well, I like Hawaii
and I like Kyle.

So why don't
I belong there?

What you like is
having sex in Hawaii.

That is what you like.

You know, Annie, you don't
know the full story.

He's 13 years
younger than you.

How can this possibly
be going anywhere?

Well, I'm sorry you can't
wrap your head around it,

but it's been going somewhere
for seven months.

Okay, everybody.
Maybe Jackie is right

and she knows
what she's doing.

Besides, we wouldn't even
be having this conversation

if he were 40 and Jackie
were the one that's 27.

No, we shouldn't be
having this
conversation anyway

because it's really
no one's business
but mine.

KRISTINE:
We're your friends.
Your happiness is our business.

And exactly
what part of me
doesn't seem happy?

Because I've
never been happier.

It just seems scary,
that's all.

We don't want you
to get hurt.

And you have to
think about your kids.

Okay, all right,
hold it right there.

I consider my children
in every decision I make.

Jackie. Jackie,
don't leave.

No, you know what?
I don't wanna say anything
that I might regret.

My children are happy
when I'm happy.

We think you deserve better.
Based on what?

'Cause you
haven't even met Kyle.

Or maybe it's about
something else.

Like, gee, suddenly my life
as a single woman

seems fun
instead of depressing
or humiliating.

And maybe my dangerous
little vacations

are better than being
in an office day and night.

Jackie.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR SLAMS]

That went well.

Are you watching the sunset?

It's about to dip under.

Describe it, please.

What are you looking
at in the bathtub?

Describe that
in full detail.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

Oh, hold on.

Hi, Clare.

I'm torn whether to go
with Roman shades
or pleated in the den.

Roman shades
in the den or pleated?

Um, can... Can we
go over this tomorrow?

Henry's leaving early.
Can you come now?

Okay. I'll see you soon.

Thank you.

Sorry, Kyle.
That was a client.
I have to go meet her.

So late on a Sunday night?

Yeah. Her husband's
leaving tomorrow.

So she wants me
to meet him.

Henry and I have decided to
build a second home in Jackson.

Hi, Jackie.
Here are the plans.

Hi, Henry.

7,000-plus
square feet.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Three-car garage
and spa.

Excuse me, ladies.

We would like you
to get a head start

and work with the architect.

Oh, no.
It's a dream job.

One that can land me
in magazines.

Well, congratulations.
Thank you.

It's just the thought
of working for this woman
another year...

Ooh.
Do you have to?

Well, I mean,
it's too amazing.

But I have to figure out
what to do with the kids.

You know,
they're starting school.

All right, well,
get a babysitter.

Oh, Daniel won't let me.
He doesn't trust strangers.

Daniel won't let you?

Well, uh...

Babe, why do you need
Daniel's permission?

You're right. I don't.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

Will, Jess,
this is Lisa.

Hi.
Hey.

She's gonna be
helping us out for
the rest of the summer.

You know, driving
carpool to camp,
stuff like that.

Why don't you
show her your room?

Sure.
Sweet.

Thanks.

Mom?

Yeah?

I have this girlfriend,
Stephanie...

I didn't know
you had a girlfriend.

I do. I met her
at the Fourth of July.

And yesterday, when I came
second in the swim meet,

she said I didn't win
'cause I'm too small.

She said I would swim faster
if I wasn't so little.

[SIGHS]
First of all, Will,

you're exactly the size
you're supposed to be.

And everyone grows
at different rates.

You know, so no one can
say who's too big
and who's too small.

And judging by your father,

you're gonna be towering
over all of us very soon.

Yeah?

And if Stephanie doesn't
understand that,

and doesn't
appreciate you for you,

and exactly who you are,
then that's her loss.

Where'd you get
this shirt?

Melinda got it for me.

It's cool.
Thanks.

Hey, also, if Stephanie's
your girlfriend,

she shouldn't be saying
mean things to you.

She should be saying
nice things.

Supportive things.

I love you, Will.

I know.

Come on, honey.
I'm only gonna be
gone for five days.

[VIDEO GAME BEEPING]

Jessica, you are
being very rude.

No, I'm not.

You're acting
like a three-year-old.

Then go and
leave me alone.

I would like
to say goodbye.
A proper goodbye.

You know, I don't...
I don't know what
you're so mad about.

I thought you liked
being here with
Daddy and Melinda.

I told you I don't.

Well, we have an agreement.

Go then.

This is because
you're going to Hawaii.

Shut up, Dad!
Will.

She's our mom.
You're not supposed
to be mean to her.

You're supposed
to be supportive.

Will!

He's right, Daniel.

JACKIE:
Oh, I have
something for you.

Really?
Yeah.

For you.
To inspire you.

Thank you.

"Small Business for Dummies."

Oh, that's
sweet of you, babe.

[CHUCKLING]

Are you calling me a dummy?

No, no. I read that book
before I went into business.

Cover to cover.

Hmm.

Let me ask you something.

Would it be easier for you
if I were a CEO instead
of a surf instructor?

Kyle, I'm not trying
to change you.

I'm trying to inspire you.

Yeah, but you already
do inspire me.

And I really like you.

No. I love you, Jackie.

JACKIE:
Do you think it's weird
neither one of us

have met each other's
friends yet?

Maybe a little.

What do you think
we're waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

Honestly? A part of me,

I think, is waiting
for you to turn 30.

Are you embarrassed by my age?
Are you?

I mean, you could be
dating girls 20 years
younger than me.

We're different
generations.

Am I too old for you?

No, sometimes
I actually think
I'm too old for you.

I'm happy to introduce you
to my friends.

I have no issue about it.
Why would I?

You're beautiful.
I'm proud to call you
my girlfriend.

Now, women
in their 20s, um...

Well...

What about my friends?

That's a bit
of a bigger problem.

I just... I don't make it
to the mainland that much.

Ever?

Once a year, tops.

I mean, I don't know.
Can I visit the mainland?
Can I live on the mainland?

Honestly?

Yeah, honestly.

I don't like
to leave the rock.

KYLE:
You think it's selfish, me not
coming to see you in Denver?

JACKIE: Not yet.
KYLE: No?

JACKIE:
Ask me again
in a few months.

KYLE:
You know, I don't know.

All the hustle
on the mainland just
seems insane to me.

I mean, you got this one life
and you're spending it
sitting in rush hour

or working under
fluorescent lights

in a climate-controlled room,
hunched over a computer,

sucking back caffeine.
And for what?

You don't have
to live like that.

I know, but every time
I go to the mainland,

I'm afraid I'm gonna
get sucked back into it.

Well, you do live a more
simple life than most people.

I think
simple's underrated.

I'm being an idiot, right?
Being a stubborn jerk?

Honestly?

Yeah, honestly.

I think you're
acting your age.

[***]

I'll get us
another beer.

You hanging out with Kyle?
Yeah.

I'm Andrew Barry.
Can I get you a drink?

No, no, no.
Kyle's...

Oh, my son has that shirt.

This?
Yeah.

Yeah, this is me.
I'm a pro surfer.

Uh-huh.

How old is your son?

Uh, eleven.
Eleven.

I've got some autographed
T-shirts in my bag.

JACKIE:
Wow.

Here's a nice one.

Shame on you, Drew.
You hitting on my girl?

If that's okay?

No, not unless you enjoy
eating through a straw.

Thank you.
Take care.

And if this doesn't
work out...

Beat it. Go peddle
your shirts elsewhere.

How old is he?

Twenty-one,
and very much into you.

I could be arrested.

Hey, look, I got this
for Will. It's signed.

Wow.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

What?

It's your phone.

Seven messages.
All from Daniel.

[STAMMERING] What?
Something's happened.

[RINGING]

Hey, it's me.

Where you been? I've been
calling you for hours.

[STAMMERING]
I didn't have my phone.

What is the point
of having a cell...

Daniel, what's going on?

[SIGHING]
There's been an accident.

Your babysitter was driving.

Will's fine.
Jess is in surgery now.

Surgery?
A broken arm.

Is it really bad?

No, she's gonna be fine.

What happened?

Some drunk ran a stop sign.

Okay, you know what?
I'll, um... I'll be out
on the first flight.

Well, she has been
asking for you.

Well, um, just
tell her I love her.

I'll be there
as soon as I can. Okay?

Yeah.
Is Will there?

No, he went home
with Melinda.

Look, it's after midnight.
I wouldn't call now.
He's probably sleeping.

Okay. Um, okay.
I'll call you back
when I know about my flight.

I don't care
how many times
I have to switch planes.

Right now,
I'm on a red-eye from
Honolulu to San Francisco.

Now, I just need
San Francisco to Denver.

Okay. Bye.

They've got me on hold.
They're working on it.

Okay. I won't even call
and bother you.

Just let me know how she is
when you come up for air.

Thank you. You know what?
I'll feel much better
when I get home.

Yeah. And I'll send you
all your stuff.

Take care, okay?

WOMAN ON PA:
...is now scheduled
to depart at 10:25.

WOMAN ON PA:
Dr. Ann Lynn,
dial extension 2567.

Extension 2567.

Hey.

I thought you were gonna
catch the first flight out.

I did.
It's almost noon.

No kidding.
What are you wearing?

Oh, it was the only top I had.

Is that his?
What is he, 12?

I got this for Will.

You know, feel free to leave.
I can sit with Jess.

Will is on his way.
Melinda is picking him
up from the swim meet.

No, I asked Lisa
to pick him up.

Well, she's not.
I fired her.

Yeah, she told me,
and I rehired her.

I don't want her
working for us.

Daniel, it was an accident.

And I have custody,
so I get to make
the decisions, not you.

Maybe you shouldn't
have custody.

Be careful.

You're an absent mother.
You're off in Hawaii.

Oh, so you on the road
two weeks out of a month

doesn't make you
an absent father?

That's me making a living.

That's you sleeping around
in New York.

Are we really gonna
get into this here?

Don't speak to my babysitter.
She's my babysitter!

DR. SONNET:
Mr. and Mrs. Laurens?

I'm Dr. Sonnet,
I'm Jessica's surgeon.

Do you and your wife
have a moment?

Ex-wife.

Well, Jessica's doing great.
But we'd like to keep her

for a couple of nights
just for observation
if that's okay.

Fine. As long as
she's doing great.

[CHUCKLING]

He's not always
that charming.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks, Dr. Sonnet.

Okay.

Jessica.
Mommy!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!
Are you okay?

Yeah, stop, Mommy.
I feel better.

Oh, I'm so glad.
I'm so sorry I wasn't here.

I know. I know.
It's okay.

Yeah. Well,
when Daddy called,

I went to the airport
right away.

Everyone sent me flowers.
Everyone knows.

Well, everyone
was very concerned
about you, I'm sure.

Yeah. Oh, my gosh,
look at your cast.

You know what?
We're going to have
to get magic markers

and have people sign it.

Yeah, it's still
a little sore.

Yeah. Well, when
it feels better.

Is there anything
I can get you?

Can I please have
my pillow from home?

Yes.

And the food's pretty weird.
There is a lot of JELL-O.

Oh, my gosh,
I'm so glad you're okay.

It was scary.

I bet it was.

Look at all your balloons.

Yeah, they're from
Dad and Melinda.

Huh.

Jessica?

Oh, Jessica, my friend
in Hawaii sent you a gift.

There. All the hula girls
wear these. They're orchids.

They are?
Yeah.

You want me to read the card?
Sure.

"To Jess from Kyle."

"Dear Jessica..."

Mom?

I'm sort of worried
you're settling.

Settling?

Where'd you hear that?

Maybe your boyfriend's
not the best boyfriend
for you.

Maybe you're
better than him.

Oh, no, honey.
That's not true.

Kyle's a wonderful person,
which is why he got you
this lovely gift.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.
He was so worried about you.

And he felt bad that I was
with him instead of here

when your accident happened.

Don't worry, I'm not
going anywhere, okay?

You're not?
I'm not.

Why?

I want to be here.

So, you're not going back
to Hawaii anymore?

No.

Good.

[SIGHS]

JACKIE:
I can't keep leaving my real
life for a fantasy life.

Fantasy life?
That's what it feels like.

SURFER:
See you tomorrow.

Thanks, bud.

Look, Jackie,
you don't have to call it
a fantasy life to end things.

But don't pretend like
what we had wasn't real.

I'm not. I...

I'm saying
it feels that way

because you're
on the other side
of the world.

You know what I think?

I think your daughter
got hurt and it scared
the hell out of you.

As it should have.

But now you're feeling
guilty for it,

so you're crawling back
into your hole.

You don't have
children, Kyle.

So what?

I mean, all of this is
much more complicated for me.

Life is simpler for you.

That may be true.

I don't know what to say.

I'm not good at goodbyes.

Then don't say goodbye.
Say, "I'll see you later."

I don't think
I'll see you later, Kyle.

Take care, Jackie.

You, too.

KRISTINE: Where are you?
Sorry.

[SIGHS]

When was the last time
you spoke to him?

Um, couple months
ago. August.

You know, all I want
to say is that...

I'm sorry
we ever said anything.

You were happy
with him, Jackie.

Jetlagged, but happy.

Now lately
you seem so...

Kristine, I'm fine.
Really.

I mean, you know,
just like Annie said,

kids come first,
and I need to be with them.

You know that
Will has a girlfriend?

And not a two-week girlfriend.
A girlfriend since July.

KRISTINE:
I know we're mothers.

But that doesn't mean
that we should just
lie down and die.

Okay? I'm not gonna martyr
myself for my husband
and my kids 24/7.

Besides, you know
what she told me?

She and Phil haven't had...

[MOUTHING]

...in over a year.

Yeah, well, we all
make sacrifices.

Come on.

What about Kyle?
Can't he come here?

You know what? That's, uh...
That was becoming an issue, too.

All I'm saying is
just give him a call.
Touch base.

Happy Halloween.

You know you want to.

[***]

[DIALING]

[PHONE RINGING]

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Hello?

Hi, is Kyle there, please?

He is, but he's
in the shower right now.

Can I take a message?

No, I'll call back.

Hi, sorry I'm late.

Is something wrong?

You seem preoccupied.

Preoccupied? Clare,
I see you every day.

I see you more than
all of my other clients
put together.

Well, I asked you
to be here at noon.

Yeah, you called me
at 10:00 last night

to change the 4:00
meeting to 12:00.

I got here
as soon as I could.

Fine.
Actually, it's not fine.

I don't think you realize
how much I bend
over backwards

to accommodate you.

From now on you can
call me at home
up until 6:00.

But not after
and not before 8:00
in the morning.

And if you want
to pay me less,
then that's fine.

Done?
Yes.

Feel better?

Yes.

[LADIES LAUGHING]

And then I found out
they'd given partner

to that infuriating
little creep.

ANNIE: No.
What?

And I yelled...

[SCREAMING]

At the top
of my lungs, right?

And everybody turned around
and looked at me like
these people here,

and I said,
"Oh, excuse me, gentlemen,

"that was just the sound
of my head hitting
the glass ceiling."

So take that
shattered glass
and add that to 300 times

my annual salary,
and you'll get
what it will cost

to retrain and recruit
my replacement.

ANNIE: Wow. Smarty.
Yes!

Gosh, you are so brave.
You said that?

No.

But, well,
you quit? Yeah?

No.

No, but that's what
I wanted to say
to those bastards.

They're jerks.
They're jerks.

[SHUSHING]

ANNIE:
I mean, seriously.

It's okay, I'm fine.
I'm over it.

Let us drink and be merry.
Okay?

Party like we agreed.
ANNIE: Okay.

Okay, okay, okay, Annie.
Annie, your quarter,
your quarter.

Whoo!

My quarter.

Phil's leaving me.

We haven't had sex
in seven months,
one week and one day.

He said that
it's my weight.

That it's irresponsible
to our marriage for me

to have "let myself go"
the way I have.

What? That's bull.

[EXCLAIMING]

Drink.
Hell, yeah.

Any other crappy news,
anyone?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, I called Kyle.

[MILDLY EXCLAIMING]

A woman answered
the phone.

[GASPING]

Said he was in the shower.
So, hang up.

Oh.
No.

Oh, Jackie.
I'm so sorry
I was so hard on you.

No, you were
just jealous.

Oh, I was. I was.

That young hard body
jumping your
puny little bones.

All that sex.
All that sex!
Oh, my...

Chad wants to set you up
with someone at Thanksgiving.

He's coming.
KRISTINE: Who?

They play golf.
And he's your age

with a six-figure salary.
Maybe even seven.

I met him once,
and he's totally cute.

Mmm.

Golf?

[CHILDREN GIGGLING]

Here you go, Will. Silly girl.
Thank you.

Okay.

Hey, Amelie, give the kids
some pie when they're done.

And for the big table.

Are you sure
we haven't met?

Yeah. No, actually we have.
Okay. Where?

My daughter
was in an accident
this summer.

You were her surgeon.
Jessica.

Jessica.

It was a leg, right?

No. The arm.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. You know,
I'm sure she'd be
glad to see you.

How is she doing?
Great.

You know, she missed
tennis lessons
during the summer,

but other than that,
you did a great job.

Phew.

Phew is right.

Well, you know what?
I'm gonna check on the kids.

DR. SONNET:
Okay. Sure.

So, how's Suzie doing?

JACKIE:
Hey.

Did you hear?
Daniel and Melinda broke up.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

No, he didn't
mention it.

Yeah. Phil told Annie,
Annie told me.

Mmm.

How's the doctor?

Oh, you're not
gonna believe this.

He was Jessica's surgeon
this summer.

You like him?

Stop.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

For instance,
if you take a procedure

like a laparoscopic
splenectomy, for instance,

which you would use for
certain immunological disorders

like an idiopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura,
for instance...

I'm sorry.
Am I boring you?

No.
You sure?

No.
Great.

Well, it's something
you can only do on...

Could I interest you
in a dessert menu?

Oh, no,
thank you very much.

I don't think we're
gonna have any dessert.

I really gotta
watch my calories.

Check, please.

Very well, sir.
Thank you.

Where was I?

Hey.

JACKIE:
I'm so glad you're here.

I take it
the date didn't go well.

Oh, my gosh, he wouldn't
let me order dessert
or coffee.

KRISTINE:
Uh, what's that?
What are you doing?

I'm making lists.
Excuse me?

Lists of possibilities.
Lists of things that
I gave up on, like Kyle.

You didn't
give up on Kyle.

Okay. Okay. You did.

Did I ever tell you
I had this fantasy
of going to Argentina

to live there for a month
and learn to tango?

And one day, I just thought
it wasn't practical.

Hmm.

But you know what?
I'm doing it.

Summer vacation.
Taking the kids.

Good.
Yeah.

And may I?

Oh, yeah.
I have 59 things.

Learning to cook French.

"Climb Mount Rainier."

"Save the environment."
That's a big one.

Yeah. But you know what?
We can do something
about it. We're only 40.

I mean, we might have
60 more years of life.

I'm not gonna
spend the rest of it

pretending that I care about
something when I don't,

like skipping dessert.
Mmm.

No. Not when I can be...

When you could be what?

Surfing.

BOY: I'm open. I'm open.
Over here!

COACH:
That's it. Attaboy!

WOMAN: Yeah, good teamwork!
BOY: I'm open.

I heard you and Melinda
broke up. I'm sorry.

[SCOFFS]
Sure you are.

No, I am.
I care about you.

Let's not get into it.

Get into what?

Wait...

I care about you.
And you care about me.

You just talk to me
with such...

What?

Contempt.

You know, I hate
what you're doing
to the memory of us.

Acting like what we had
together wasn't real,
and it was real.

You know,
maybe it didn't last,

but it was real
at the time.

COACH:
Stick with 'em. Stick with 'em.

I know it was real.

You're right.

When Melinda left me,
she said the same thing.

She said that...
Said she didn't like
the way I spoke to her.

She wants to have kids.
Wow.

Can I do that? I'm 42.
Can I be having babies now?

Of course you can.
You're a great father,
you know.

Why wouldn't you?

I thought you'd freak.

If she makes you happy,

just try
and work things out.

Don't do what I did.

You're not seeing
your guy anymore?

No.

And one and two
and three and four.

And one and two
and three and four.

JACKIE:
You know, I'm going
to Hawaii for Christmas.

You are?
What?

You are?

I'm taking the kids.

Are you going to Oahu?
Yeah.

KRISTINE: Did you call Kyle?
You know, I haven't yet.

Maybe I will
when I get there.

What if he's still
with someone?

You know, if he's moved on,
then that's fine.

We'll still have
a wonderful week there.

And Will will get to surf,
and so will I.

So, how's packing going?
Good.

Jess wants to know
if Santa will be able
to find us in Hawaii.

What did you tell her?
I told her yes.

Smart move.
Here's sunblock.

Uh, Kyle called.

Kyle called?
About an hour ago.

Kyle Hamilton?
Did he leave a message?

Uh, he said not to try him.
He said he'd call back.

Thanks.

So, the surfer closer
to the break
gets the right of way.

And the break is
the white part of the wave.

I know what
the break is, Mom.

Oh, do you, now?
ANNIE: Merry Christmas!

Hey!
Hi.

Thank you for having us.

I'm keeping it simple
this year. I ordered pizza.

Ooh, pizza! That's perfect.
It's freezing.

[DOORBELL RINGING]
There it is.

Oh, no, no, no. No, no, no.
I'm getting it.

You guys are not
gonna believe this.

ANNIE:
Jackie, you have guests.

[LADIES CHUCKLING]

WILL:
Hi.

Hey.
Hi.

Hi.

Oh.

I'm, um... I'm taking Will
and Jess to Hawaii tomorrow
for Christmas.

You're kidding me.

No. The whole
Christmas vacation.

And my friends came over early
to celebrate Christmas.

And this is Annie.

Hey. It's a pleasure
to meet you, Annie.

And you. Yeah.

Jackie, this is Sabrina.

Oh, I'm sorry. Hello.

My sister.

Hi.
So nice to meet you.

You, too. I've heard
so much about you.

What are you doing here?

Business. There was
a surf and ski expo
at the Denver Center.

[LAUGHING]

I love this.

Oh, my God, you are lit up.
I've never seen you
look happier.

He does that to me.

He is beautiful.

SCROOGE ON TV: What is today?
BOY: Today?

SCROOGE:
What is today, my fine fellow?

BOY:
Today? Why,
it's Christmas Day.

SCROOGE:
It's Christmas Day! Yes!

[CHATTERING CONTINUES ON TV]

Excuse me.

KYLE:
Take a look.

What is it?

Open it.

Oh, wow! Is this yours?
It's beautiful.

I didn't think you were ever
going to leave the rock.

Well, you weren't
coming back,

so I had to figure
something out.

The surf expo
was a good excuse
to come find you.

Well, you look
so professional.

What have you been doing?

Acting my age, I guess.

Me, too.

You look great.

I can't believe
that we're going to Hawaii,

and you're not
gonna be there.

I'll be there.

* The sun will always shine *

* The seasons never change *

* Something's gonna
Last forever *

* It's perfect where you lie *

* No need to rearrange *

* Hold on to this sight
Forever *

* And in the morning
Afternoon *

* No need to wait
For the moon *

* The sun will always shine *

* This is gonna last *

* Gonna last forever *

* You know there's no need
To wait for the moon *

* The sun will always shine *

* The seasons never change *

* This is gonna last *

* Gonna last forever *

MAN:
Good sticks.

I learned it
in high school.

Is that what I say?
So, where did you...

So, where did you...

Where did you learn to take...

I'm sorry.
I can't do it that way.

Ow!

[SCREAMS]

MAN:
Marker.

What?

MAN ON RADIO:
Take the sunglasses off.

Oh, thank you.

I said... Yeah.
What do I say?

Ooh! Ouch!
Does that hurt?

No, it doesn't hurt.
Does that? Or does that?

[LAUGHING]
That's sweet. That's cool.

Sorry.

And look like this?

Hi, hi.

Is it great?

Does it look great?

Oh, I forgot
I was working with him.

Sorry.

Sorry.

[PHONE RINGING]

Not home.
So good.

Look who has their commercial
on Logo Channel.

Scene.
MAN: And cut!
