1
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:29,604
Whoops!
Hey!

2
00:00:29,604 --> 00:00:32,271
- What are you doing?
- Oh, um, sorry!

3
00:00:32,271 --> 00:00:34,563
I was just...
just trying to fix it.

4
00:00:34,563 --> 00:00:36,646
You're that news lady.

5
00:00:36,646 --> 00:00:37,730
Yes, ma'am!

6
00:00:37,730 --> 00:00:40,229
Lori Marshall, Loop Line Media.

7
00:00:40,229 --> 00:00:42,021
You are one persistent woman.

8
00:00:42,021 --> 00:00:43,354
Yes!

9
00:00:43,354 --> 00:00:45,354
What is your sudden
interest in my studio?

10
00:00:45,354 --> 00:00:47,021
You're on the list of
arts organizations

11
00:00:47,021 --> 00:00:48,688
that lost funding
in the new city budget.

12
00:00:48,688 --> 00:00:49,813
So?

13
00:00:49,813 --> 00:00:51,271
I used to dance
when I was young

14
00:00:51,271 --> 00:00:54,438
and I was greatly enriched
by the experience.

15
00:00:54,438 --> 00:00:56,021
These are the stories
we need to be sharing.

16
00:00:56,021 --> 00:00:57,271
No.

17
00:00:57,271 --> 00:00:59,271
Access to the arts
is vital to our community

18
00:00:59,271 --> 00:01:00,396
and our young people.

19
00:01:00,396 --> 00:01:03,104
And I believe
that your holiday recital

20
00:01:03,104 --> 00:01:05,104
is the perfect example of that.

21
00:01:06,896 --> 00:01:08,521
Come on...

22
00:01:08,521 --> 00:01:10,229
A little bump in your profile
can't hurt, can it?

23
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:13,479
Alright.
Alright.

24
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:14,938
Great! Great, um...

25
00:01:14,938 --> 00:01:17,312
Actually, can I just get
a shot of you walking up

26
00:01:17,312 --> 00:01:19,855
and coming in?

27
00:01:19,855 --> 00:01:23,688
Ooh, okay.

28
00:01:24,813 --> 00:01:25,688
Alright!

29
00:01:30,604 --> 00:01:32,855
Phew!

30
00:01:32,855 --> 00:01:35,855
- My turn today.
- So Christmassy!

31
00:01:35,855 --> 00:01:37,896
Love it! I am so ready
for the holidays.

32
00:01:37,896 --> 00:01:39,771
When are you leaving
for your parents' house?

33
00:01:39,771 --> 00:01:41,312
Susan's meeting me for lunch

34
00:01:41,312 --> 00:01:43,104
so we can make a plan.

35
00:01:46,021 --> 00:01:48,229
Maxine is looking fierce today!

36
00:01:48,229 --> 00:01:50,730
Did you put your résumé in
for the new division?

37
00:01:50,730 --> 00:01:51,938
- Of course I did.
- Mm-hm?

38
00:01:51,938 --> 00:01:53,563
Building a department
from the ground up?

39
00:01:53,563 --> 00:01:55,229
I know I can do that job.

40
00:01:55,229 --> 00:01:57,062
And, I get to choose
the stories!

41
00:01:57,062 --> 00:01:58,646
Mm-hm!

42
00:01:58,646 --> 00:02:00,646
You should bump into her
on the elevator.

43
00:02:00,646 --> 00:02:02,730
Ask her for a recommendation!

44
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:03,771
Be assertive.

45
00:02:03,771 --> 00:02:04,855
Seriously, now?

46
00:02:04,855 --> 00:02:06,563
She hasn't even
had her coffee yet.

47
00:02:06,563 --> 00:02:08,479
Yes, now!
Be the early bird!

48
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:10,021
Ms. Graham?

49
00:02:13,146 --> 00:02:14,396
Ms. Graham!

50
00:02:14,396 --> 00:02:16,187
A moment, please?

51
00:02:19,563 --> 00:02:22,479
Oh, nope,
we don't know her!

52
00:02:31,354 --> 00:02:34,021
Um, is there something
you're forgetting to ask me?

53
00:02:34,021 --> 00:02:36,938
Did the South Side muralist
send those portfolio images?

54
00:02:36,938 --> 00:02:38,396
No!

55
00:02:38,396 --> 00:02:40,479
It was my pre-Christmas brunch
with Darren yesterday!

56
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:41,604
Right! Of course.

57
00:02:41,604 --> 00:02:42,855
How was it?

58
00:02:42,855 --> 00:02:45,229
Oh, it was only
the most gorgeous day, ever!

59
00:02:45,229 --> 00:02:46,938
I made crepes
with cranberry sauce.

60
00:02:46,938 --> 00:02:48,521
Delicious!

61
00:02:48,521 --> 00:02:50,938
And we got pedicures at that
new place where Casey saw Oprah.

62
00:02:50,938 --> 00:02:52,271
It was not Oprah!

63
00:02:52,271 --> 00:02:54,771
And then we snuggled
on the couch

64
00:02:54,771 --> 00:02:56,563
and we watched
that new action movie.

65
00:02:56,563 --> 00:02:59,980
I was even still awake
when the credits rolled.

66
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,271
He's a lucky guy.

67
00:03:02,271 --> 00:03:04,479
You're just saying that so that
I'll let you get back to work.

68
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,312
This is true!

69
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:09,563
I think you should
try again with Maxine.

70
00:03:09,563 --> 00:03:11,354
I want you to be management--

71
00:03:11,354 --> 00:03:14,354
and I want Fridays
to end at noon!

72
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:25,354
And it totally was Oprah!

73
00:03:30,604 --> 00:03:33,187
Lori Mitchell?

74
00:03:33,187 --> 00:03:35,396
- It's Marshall.
- Come in.

75
00:03:35,396 --> 00:03:36,938
- I was just--
- Sit down.

76
00:03:36,938 --> 00:03:40,604
I understand you submitted
for the new division chief job.

77
00:03:40,604 --> 00:03:43,396
Yes!
Not that I'm not happy...

78
00:03:46,146 --> 00:03:48,271
You know the application
has to be accompanied

79
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:51,229
by a strong portfolio piece.

80
00:03:51,229 --> 00:03:53,312
I do, and I have one.

81
00:03:53,312 --> 00:03:55,312
It's about the challenges
around arts education

82
00:03:55,312 --> 00:03:56,980
and its value to the community.

83
00:03:56,980 --> 00:04:00,021
I have a great interview
with a dance studio owner

84
00:04:00,021 --> 00:04:02,521
and I think the viewers
will really respond to it.

85
00:04:02,521 --> 00:04:04,229
Here's the deal.

86
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:09,771
Each existing division has been
tasked with delivering a story

87
00:04:09,771 --> 00:04:12,187
in line with
the new division mandate.

88
00:04:12,187 --> 00:04:15,146
If the new chief is
going to be an internal hire,

89
00:04:15,146 --> 00:04:18,271
I want it to be
someone from my team.

90
00:04:18,271 --> 00:04:21,646
I need to put forward
someone who really understands

91
00:04:21,646 --> 00:04:23,604
what's riding
on this assignment.

92
00:04:23,604 --> 00:04:25,688
Someone with skin in the game.

93
00:04:25,688 --> 00:04:27,396
- Can you handle it?
- Yes.

94
00:04:27,396 --> 00:04:30,604
I want a tight 13 minutes
on how people are feeling

95
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:33,688
about losing the Ice Palace

96
00:04:33,688 --> 00:04:36,813
and the holiday traditions
that go with it.

97
00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:38,855
You're from Michigan,
aren't you?

98
00:04:38,855 --> 00:04:42,062
I'm sorry, is this
the Ice Palace in Greenhill?

99
00:04:42,062 --> 00:04:43,730
Yes.

100
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:45,271
I can't-- I can't do that.

101
00:04:45,271 --> 00:04:46,438
I can't go there.

102
00:04:46,438 --> 00:04:47,730
If you turn this down,

103
00:04:47,730 --> 00:04:50,104
you aren't gonna
get another shot.

104
00:04:50,104 --> 00:04:52,271
I'm sorry...

105
00:04:52,271 --> 00:04:53,688
I can't.

106
00:05:02,146 --> 00:05:03,813
But...

107
00:05:03,813 --> 00:05:05,271
But why?

108
00:05:05,271 --> 00:05:07,271
You worked so hard for this.

109
00:05:07,271 --> 00:05:08,855
It's complicated.

110
00:05:08,855 --> 00:05:11,855
I want the job, but I-I just...

111
00:05:11,855 --> 00:05:14,104
I can't go back to that town.

112
00:05:14,104 --> 00:05:17,938
- There's Susan-- ah!
- Don't tell her.

113
00:05:17,938 --> 00:05:19,604
Tell her what?

114
00:05:19,604 --> 00:05:21,104
Come on, I'm your sister!

115
00:05:22,312 --> 00:05:24,229
Remember I told you
about that new division,

116
00:05:24,229 --> 00:05:25,312
the job?

117
00:05:25,312 --> 00:05:26,771
Yeah?

118
00:05:26,771 --> 00:05:29,187
Well, our boss has a story
that she wants me to do

119
00:05:29,187 --> 00:05:30,980
that would really
help with my application.

120
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:33,229
Great!

121
00:05:33,229 --> 00:05:34,396
What's the problem?

122
00:05:34,396 --> 00:05:35,521
There isn't one!

123
00:05:35,521 --> 00:05:36,896
She's lost her mind!

124
00:05:36,896 --> 00:05:38,688
You turned it down?

125
00:05:38,688 --> 00:05:40,521
It's about the Ice Palace.

126
00:05:40,521 --> 00:05:42,855
Oh...
"Oh"?

127
00:05:42,855 --> 00:05:45,771
What do you mean, "Oh"?
What is happening right now?

128
00:05:45,771 --> 00:05:47,855
I told you I used to
figure skate competitively

129
00:05:47,855 --> 00:05:49,271
when I was a kid.

130
00:05:49,271 --> 00:05:51,521
Yes, but you've denied me
all the photograph evidence

131
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:53,146
I so deeply desire.

132
00:05:53,146 --> 00:05:57,104
- Maybe Susan will...
- I never told you why I stopped.

133
00:05:57,104 --> 00:05:58,229
Well?

134
00:05:58,229 --> 00:05:59,479
She fell.

135
00:05:59,479 --> 00:06:01,021
And? Everybody falls.

136
00:06:01,021 --> 00:06:02,855
Not at Olympic qualifiers.

137
00:06:02,855 --> 00:06:05,104
Nobody falls
at Olympic qualifiers.

138
00:06:05,104 --> 00:06:08,521
And to add insult to injury,
I had home ice advantage.

139
00:06:08,521 --> 00:06:10,479
It was in front of
my whole town.

140
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:13,896
On my own rink.
It was horrifying.

141
00:06:13,896 --> 00:06:16,354
Everything is horrifying
when you're 16.

142
00:06:16,354 --> 00:06:18,604
At the Ice Palace?

143
00:06:18,604 --> 00:06:20,980
I never skated again.

144
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:23,354
So what's the angle?
Why the Ice Palace?

145
00:06:23,354 --> 00:06:24,688
They're tearing it down.

146
00:06:24,688 --> 00:06:27,438
They're putting up
a condo/shopping complex.

147
00:06:27,438 --> 00:06:30,438
Old traditions versus
innovation and progress.

148
00:06:30,438 --> 00:06:33,521
Wow, I can't imagine
Christmas in Greenhill

149
00:06:33,521 --> 00:06:34,896
without the Ice Palace.

150
00:06:34,896 --> 00:06:37,104
Honestly, I think it
could be a moving story,

151
00:06:37,104 --> 00:06:38,938
and who better
to tell it than you?

152
00:06:38,938 --> 00:06:40,563
It's a fair point.

153
00:06:40,563 --> 00:06:43,104
Let's just change the subject!
For Christmas, I was thinking--

154
00:06:43,104 --> 00:06:45,855
Wait, I have
another item on the agenda!

155
00:06:45,855 --> 00:06:48,646
I'm extremely worried about you,
Lori Marshall.

156
00:06:48,646 --> 00:06:51,604
You haven't been
on a date in 13 months.

157
00:06:51,604 --> 00:06:53,396
It's like having
a gap on your résumé:

158
00:06:53,396 --> 00:06:54,938
people are going
to have questions.

159
00:06:54,938 --> 00:06:57,354
Has it really been
that long since Steve?

160
00:06:57,354 --> 00:06:59,479
No, it has not been 13 months!

161
00:06:59,479 --> 00:07:01,813
And I'm just not ready
to start dating again.

162
00:07:01,813 --> 00:07:03,896
Thirteen and a half!

163
00:07:03,896 --> 00:07:06,896
And Steve? Hmph!

164
00:07:06,896 --> 00:07:09,021
You need to get back
up on the horse.

165
00:07:09,021 --> 00:07:11,521
- It's embarrassing.
- Thanks.

166
00:07:11,521 --> 00:07:13,438
When are you driving
to Mom and Dad's?

167
00:07:13,438 --> 00:07:15,271
We can convoy again
with the walkie talkies.

168
00:07:15,271 --> 00:07:16,646
The girls really loved that.

169
00:07:16,646 --> 00:07:20,104
That's actually
why I came to see you.

170
00:07:20,104 --> 00:07:23,146
Chuck's company is rewarding him
for all the extra work--

171
00:07:23,146 --> 00:07:25,938
they're sending us
to Mexico for Christmas!

172
00:07:25,938 --> 00:07:28,062
Mexico?

173
00:07:28,062 --> 00:07:29,354
For Christmas?

174
00:07:29,354 --> 00:07:32,563
A family villa
at a fancy resort, on the beach.

175
00:07:32,563 --> 00:07:36,021
Five bedrooms, a private pool,
and an actual butler,

176
00:07:36,021 --> 00:07:38,730
- who buttles, or whatever.
- Oh.

177
00:07:38,855 --> 00:07:41,479
Mom and Dad fly on the 20th.
When can you get away?

178
00:07:41,479 --> 00:07:44,604
Wait, wait, wait, what about
all the Christmas stuff

179
00:07:44,604 --> 00:07:45,938
that we do?

180
00:07:45,938 --> 00:07:48,312
The wrapping the gifts,
the carolling, the baking,

181
00:07:48,312 --> 00:07:50,396
all the family stuff?

182
00:07:50,396 --> 00:07:52,688
We'll still do
all the family stuff.

183
00:07:52,688 --> 00:07:54,021
We'll just do them
with the assistance

184
00:07:54,021 --> 00:07:55,438
of an esteemed butler.

185
00:07:55,438 --> 00:07:56,646
What about
the snowball tournament?

186
00:07:56,646 --> 00:07:57,938
Yeah, I won't miss that;

187
00:07:57,938 --> 00:07:59,938
still had that shiner
on Valentine's Day.

188
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:01,354
Mexico!

189
00:08:01,354 --> 00:08:03,563
Sounds like the kind of reward

190
00:08:03,563 --> 00:08:06,354
that comes after a big,
difficult assignment!

191
00:08:06,354 --> 00:08:08,771
And it can't be
all bad memories, right?

192
00:08:08,771 --> 00:08:11,229
Remember when Dad's
bowling league had their banquet

193
00:08:11,229 --> 00:08:13,855
at the Ice Palace
and then crashed into the band

194
00:08:13,855 --> 00:08:15,229
trying the dirty dancing lift?

195
00:08:15,229 --> 00:08:17,229
And Principal Watson
drove them home

196
00:08:17,229 --> 00:08:19,062
and lectured them
about being responsible.

197
00:08:19,062 --> 00:08:20,646
Mom was so ashamed,

198
00:08:20,646 --> 00:08:23,187
she wore sunglasses in
the grocery store for weeks!

199
00:08:23,187 --> 00:08:25,312
Oh, and there was that time
that you dropped

200
00:08:25,312 --> 00:08:27,479
my tenth birthday cake
on the ice, you remember that?

201
00:08:27,479 --> 00:08:29,062
Okay, look, the point is

202
00:08:29,062 --> 00:08:31,813
there's a lot of good memories
at the Ice Palace as well,

203
00:08:31,813 --> 00:08:33,563
ones worth revisiting.

204
00:08:33,563 --> 00:08:35,646
I think you should
go and take a last look.

205
00:08:35,646 --> 00:08:37,438
For both of us.

206
00:08:37,438 --> 00:08:39,104
Thank you!

207
00:08:46,187 --> 00:08:48,062
Break time!

208
00:08:48,062 --> 00:08:49,855
You have to stop doing that.

209
00:08:49,855 --> 00:08:52,021
So if you're not into
a Mexican Christmas,

210
00:08:52,021 --> 00:08:54,062
you have to come
and have Christmas with us.

211
00:08:54,062 --> 00:08:55,730
We're doing a turkey
and everything.

212
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:57,396
We'd love to have you.

213
00:08:57,396 --> 00:08:59,730
That's so nice,
but I don't want to impose.

214
00:08:59,730 --> 00:09:01,312
It's your first
real Christmas together.

215
00:09:01,312 --> 00:09:03,479
And you are part
of our family now!

216
00:09:03,479 --> 00:09:06,604
We should start
some new traditions.

217
00:09:08,980 --> 00:09:11,855
Aw, you should get me
a butler for Christmas!

218
00:09:11,855 --> 00:09:14,271
Then you won't
have to help with dishes.

219
00:09:20,062 --> 00:09:21,646
I knew you'd change your mind.

220
00:09:21,646 --> 00:09:23,396
If that was some
kind of tactic...

221
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:24,980
It wasn't.

222
00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:26,187
I'm sorry.

223
00:09:26,187 --> 00:09:27,688
It'll be fine.

224
00:09:27,688 --> 00:09:28,688
I want the assignment.

225
00:09:28,688 --> 00:09:30,521
Of course you do.

226
00:09:30,521 --> 00:09:33,688
And maybe whatever history
you have with the town

227
00:09:33,688 --> 00:09:35,896
will give your story
some flavour.

228
00:09:35,896 --> 00:09:38,896
Well, I haven't been
to Greenhill in years, so...

229
00:09:38,896 --> 00:09:41,104
I hired a local
camera operator.

230
00:09:41,104 --> 00:09:44,855
If all goes well, you'll need
to get used to managing staff.

231
00:09:44,855 --> 00:09:47,479
The train leaves in two hours.

232
00:09:47,479 --> 00:09:49,438
Drop by Accounting
on the way out.

233
00:09:49,438 --> 00:09:50,980
Great!

234
00:10:11,312 --> 00:10:12,938
Those are
beautiful new skates.

235
00:10:12,938 --> 00:10:14,271
Are they a Christmas present?

236
00:10:14,271 --> 00:10:15,521
Yeah.

237
00:10:15,521 --> 00:10:17,646
I only got a few days
to break 'em in.

238
00:10:17,646 --> 00:10:19,021
Hit them with the hair dryer.

239
00:10:19,021 --> 00:10:20,938
The heat will mould
them to your feet.

240
00:10:20,938 --> 00:10:22,062
I've never tried that before.

241
00:10:22,062 --> 00:10:23,730
Thanks!

242
00:10:25,396 --> 00:10:27,146
What train are you waiting for?

243
00:10:27,146 --> 00:10:28,938
The 1:15 to Greenhill.

244
00:10:28,938 --> 00:10:30,396
Same!
Do you live there, too?

245
00:10:30,396 --> 00:10:32,021
I used to.

246
00:10:32,021 --> 00:10:33,980
It's only my
third time in Chicago.

247
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:35,438
Dad had a fancy meeting.

248
00:10:35,438 --> 00:10:37,896
He got a new suit
and I got new skates.

249
00:10:37,896 --> 00:10:39,813
Sounds like a really good trip.

250
00:10:39,813 --> 00:10:42,104
Are you coming to Greenhill
for the skating tournament?

251
00:10:42,104 --> 00:10:44,187
Amtrak service to Milwaukee

252
00:10:44,187 --> 00:10:46,104
is now departing on Track 6.

253
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:48,813
No, but maybe
I'll check it out.

254
00:10:48,813 --> 00:10:51,688
You should.
It's gonna be epic.

255
00:10:51,688 --> 00:10:55,271
Okay, here we go, sweetie.

256
00:10:55,271 --> 00:10:58,479
I even got my first
real manicure-- and panicure!

257
00:10:58,479 --> 00:10:59,938
Uh, pedicure.

258
00:10:59,938 --> 00:11:01,563
It's called a pedicure.

259
00:11:01,563 --> 00:11:04,062
- Dad got one, too!
- That-- that was our secret!

260
00:11:05,771 --> 00:11:06,896
Well, that's
a really nice colour.

261
00:11:06,896 --> 00:11:08,312
We've met before.

262
00:11:08,312 --> 00:11:09,813
You're Susan Marshall's sister,
right? Lori?

263
00:11:09,813 --> 00:11:11,396
Nope.

264
00:11:11,396 --> 00:11:13,980
No, um, you probably have me
mixed up with someone else.

265
00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:16,104
Amtrak service to Detroit,

266
00:11:16,104 --> 00:11:19,229
stopping in Kalamazoo,
Greenhill, and Ann Arbor,

267
00:11:19,229 --> 00:11:20,896
is now boarding on Track 6.

268
00:11:20,896 --> 00:11:23,771
- Come on, Dad, that's our train.
- Okay.

269
00:11:23,771 --> 00:11:25,521
After you.

270
00:11:25,521 --> 00:11:27,604
Alright, just wait up, okay?
Wait up!

271
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:30,104
- Whoa!
- Oh, geez, I'm sorry.

272
00:11:30,104 --> 00:11:33,271
Oh...

273
00:11:33,271 --> 00:11:35,271
It's, uh...

274
00:11:35,271 --> 00:11:37,771
It's for a fitness program
I'm trying to get going.

275
00:11:37,771 --> 00:11:39,438
Do you skate?

276
00:11:39,438 --> 00:11:40,604
No.

277
00:11:40,604 --> 00:11:43,229
But you're...
headed for Greenhill?

278
00:11:43,229 --> 00:11:45,646
It's a work trip.
In and out.

279
00:11:45,646 --> 00:11:47,104
Ah.

280
00:11:47,104 --> 00:11:48,354
Last call for Amtrak service

281
00:11:48,354 --> 00:11:49,855
to Detroit, boarding on Track 6.

282
00:11:49,855 --> 00:11:50,980
Well, that's too bad.

283
00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:52,396
You're gonna miss
the Christmas Ball.

284
00:11:52,396 --> 00:11:54,354
It's the highlight of
the Greenhill social calendar.

285
00:11:54,354 --> 00:11:56,229
Sounds like fun.

286
00:11:56,229 --> 00:11:59,146
Enjoy and, um, happy holidays!

287
00:12:01,146 --> 00:12:02,813
Happy holidays!

288
00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:14,438
Hello!

289
00:12:14,438 --> 00:12:16,813
Reservation for Lori Marshall.

290
00:12:16,813 --> 00:12:18,688
I just saw that a moment ago.

291
00:12:18,688 --> 00:12:21,146
Hang on.
Give me a second.

292
00:12:27,771 --> 00:12:29,062
Where did you get these?

293
00:12:29,062 --> 00:12:31,771
Oh!
Uh, the Ice Palace.

294
00:12:31,771 --> 00:12:34,646
The manager there loaned them
to us for our display.

295
00:12:34,646 --> 00:12:36,104
They're beautiful.

296
00:12:36,104 --> 00:12:37,896
Your name sounds familiar.

297
00:12:37,896 --> 00:12:39,354
Do I know you?

298
00:12:39,354 --> 00:12:42,271
No. Um, actually,
I've never stayed here before.

299
00:12:42,271 --> 00:12:44,187
Oh. Well, um...

300
00:12:46,187 --> 00:12:47,438
It's Room 4.

301
00:12:47,438 --> 00:12:49,146
It's just up the stairs.

302
00:12:49,146 --> 00:12:51,271
And we have you here for...

303
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:53,438
four nights.

304
00:12:53,438 --> 00:12:54,813
You're not going to the ball?

305
00:12:54,813 --> 00:12:57,396
No, I-I won't be here for that.

306
00:12:57,396 --> 00:13:00,813
Well, the room's available
if you change your mind.

307
00:13:00,813 --> 00:13:03,438
The theme this year
is Paris On Ice.

308
00:13:03,438 --> 00:13:07,354
That sounds like fun,
but I have other plans.

309
00:13:07,354 --> 00:13:09,479
Do you mind if I leave
my bag behind the desk?

310
00:13:09,479 --> 00:13:11,146
I'm late for a meeting.

311
00:13:11,146 --> 00:13:12,688
I could put it
in the room for you.

312
00:13:12,688 --> 00:13:14,563
Okay, great!
Thanks.

313
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:37,312
Lori?
Lori Marshall.

314
00:13:37,312 --> 00:13:38,730
- Yeah.
- Jen, camera operator.

315
00:13:38,730 --> 00:13:40,646
- Great to meet you.
- Likewise.

316
00:13:40,646 --> 00:13:42,980
Now, your, uh,
boss lady's pretty intense.

317
00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:45,104
Yeah, among other things.

318
00:13:45,104 --> 00:13:47,312
Do you get a lot of
freelance work around here?

319
00:13:47,312 --> 00:13:49,896
Yeah, a lot of weddings,
the occasional bar mitzvah,

320
00:13:49,896 --> 00:13:52,229
stringers for the news,
state and local.

321
00:13:52,229 --> 00:13:54,438
Pretty steady
documentary-type requests.

322
00:13:54,438 --> 00:13:56,980
- Nice.
- People are obsessed with bears.

323
00:13:56,980 --> 00:13:59,521
Why don't we grab a coffee
and we'll start chatting?

324
00:13:59,521 --> 00:14:01,521
I'll take you for a hot toddy
over at Gary's,

325
00:14:01,521 --> 00:14:02,604
just up the street.

326
00:14:02,604 --> 00:14:04,187
Best dive bar north of Lansing.

327
00:14:04,187 --> 00:14:07,062
Actually, I have got a couple
of free drinks coming to me,

328
00:14:07,062 --> 00:14:10,396
thanks to a particularly
bad pool player in town.

329
00:14:10,396 --> 00:14:12,521
Ah-ha-ha!
Speak of the devil!

330
00:14:12,521 --> 00:14:14,479
And a howdy-do to you, too.

331
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:17,021
So are you scouting
for your new corner office?

332
00:14:17,021 --> 00:14:20,062
Hope the view makes you
feel better about sellin' out!

333
00:14:20,062 --> 00:14:24,229
Look, Jen, I am an architect
in Greenhill, Michigan, alright?

334
00:14:24,229 --> 00:14:25,771
I can't afford
to stand on principle

335
00:14:25,771 --> 00:14:27,187
when a huge development
comes into town.

336
00:14:27,187 --> 00:14:28,062
- Yeah, sure, sure.
- Sorry.

337
00:14:28,062 --> 00:14:29,771
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

338
00:14:29,771 --> 00:14:32,021
Well, at least your principles
are better than your pool game!

339
00:14:32,021 --> 00:14:34,396
This is Lori.
She's a reporter from Chicago.

340
00:14:34,396 --> 00:14:36,312
- Good to meet you.
- Likewise, I'm Tyler.

341
00:14:36,312 --> 00:14:38,396
We were just heading over
for some hot toddies.

342
00:14:38,396 --> 00:14:40,229
- Nice.
- And you're buying!

343
00:14:40,229 --> 00:14:41,563
- Am I now?
- Yeah.

344
00:14:41,563 --> 00:14:43,229
I guess I am.

345
00:15:17,104 --> 00:15:18,938
Nothing beats fresh ice,
you know?

346
00:15:18,938 --> 00:15:23,438
It's like a painter's canvas,
fresh out of the plastic.

347
00:15:23,438 --> 00:15:25,479
Pleasure to make
your acquaintance,

348
00:15:25,479 --> 00:15:27,730
for the very first time, again.

349
00:15:27,730 --> 00:15:29,479
Mark Johnson.

350
00:15:29,479 --> 00:15:31,771
- Lori Marshall.
- Mm-hm.

351
00:15:31,771 --> 00:15:34,062
See, I knew I recognized
you at the station!

352
00:15:34,062 --> 00:15:35,396
You're a local legend
around here.

353
00:15:35,396 --> 00:15:36,855
You almost made it
to the Olympics!

354
00:15:36,855 --> 00:15:38,062
Zoe's gonna be so thrilled

355
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:39,521
that you're back
for the tournament.

356
00:15:39,521 --> 00:15:42,479
Yeah, I'm not gonna
be here for that.

357
00:15:42,479 --> 00:15:45,521
So I saw
the Steak and Potato closed down.

358
00:15:45,521 --> 00:15:47,855
Where do people go for
a good meal these days?

359
00:15:47,855 --> 00:15:50,354
Yeah, uh, Gary's got
a pretty mean chicken wing game.

360
00:15:50,354 --> 00:15:52,604
Or Chloe's Kitchen
over on Main Street.

361
00:15:52,604 --> 00:15:54,146
Yeah, I just came from Gary's.

362
00:15:54,146 --> 00:15:56,354
The chicken wings
are a little too...

363
00:15:56,354 --> 00:15:57,730
greasy for my taste.

364
00:15:57,730 --> 00:15:59,521
A lot, actually.

365
00:15:59,521 --> 00:16:00,771
You know,
if you're a food critic,

366
00:16:00,771 --> 00:16:02,438
you have to tell me, right?
It's the law.

367
00:16:02,438 --> 00:16:05,646
I'm a journalist;
not a critic, though.

368
00:16:05,646 --> 00:16:07,479
I should go.

369
00:16:07,479 --> 00:16:09,021
Sure, yeah.

370
00:16:09,021 --> 00:16:10,730
Well, I hope to, uh,
see you again.

371
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:12,187
You should come back
for a skate.

372
00:16:12,187 --> 00:16:13,938
You could show the kids
how it's done.

373
00:16:13,938 --> 00:16:15,271
Yeah, uh, no.

374
00:16:15,271 --> 00:16:17,438
Probably not.

375
00:16:17,438 --> 00:16:18,604
Thanks.

376
00:16:18,604 --> 00:16:20,354
Yeah.

377
00:16:23,104 --> 00:16:24,312
Hi!

378
00:16:24,312 --> 00:16:25,980
[on phone] Have you
run into any old friends?

379
00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:27,646
Or any boyfriends?

380
00:16:27,646 --> 00:16:30,229
No old boyfriends.

381
00:16:30,229 --> 00:16:33,104
I did run into
this guy, Mark...

382
00:16:33,104 --> 00:16:35,021
He graduated with my sister.

383
00:16:35,021 --> 00:16:37,938
Oh, a long-lost
childhood crush!

384
00:16:37,938 --> 00:16:39,938
Maybe it was your destiny
to meet him again.

385
00:16:39,938 --> 00:16:42,563
It's my destiny
to be division chief.

386
00:16:42,563 --> 00:16:44,938
Not as fun, but okay.
Are you eating?

387
00:16:44,938 --> 00:16:46,938
I'm walking up to
the restaurant now, Mom!

388
00:16:46,938 --> 00:16:48,813
Call me when you
get back to your room!

389
00:16:48,813 --> 00:16:51,646
I want to hear all the stories
about the high school hottie.

390
00:16:51,646 --> 00:16:53,229
Have a good night, Ken!

391
00:16:53,229 --> 00:16:54,980
At least tell me he was
wearing a flannel shirt!

392
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:56,438
Hanging up now!

393
00:17:06,354 --> 00:17:07,688
- Hey there!
- Hi!

394
00:17:07,688 --> 00:17:09,730
I'm Chloe.
Welcome to the Kitchen.

395
00:17:09,730 --> 00:17:11,688
- Table for one?
- Uh, to go, please.

396
00:17:11,688 --> 00:17:13,021
Alright,
I'll give you a minute.

397
00:17:13,021 --> 00:17:14,312
Thanks.

398
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:22,021
Funny meeting you here.

399
00:17:22,021 --> 00:17:23,938
Glad you took my recommendation.

400
00:17:23,938 --> 00:17:27,021
It's not like
I was flush with choices.

401
00:17:27,021 --> 00:17:28,521
Ow...

402
00:17:28,521 --> 00:17:30,146
I'm sorry, what was that?

403
00:17:30,146 --> 00:17:32,730
I just said that there
was a lot of good choices.

404
00:17:32,730 --> 00:17:34,396
Ah, yeah.

405
00:17:34,396 --> 00:17:35,980
What do you suggest?

406
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:37,730
Uh, well,
Chloe's lasagna is incredible.

407
00:17:37,730 --> 00:17:39,104
I just ordered two trays

408
00:17:39,104 --> 00:17:40,479
for the volunteer
board meeting tomorrow.

409
00:17:40,479 --> 00:17:42,730
- Volunteers for the tournament?
- Yeah.

410
00:17:42,730 --> 00:17:45,187
And the Christmas Ball,
and the tree-lighting,

411
00:17:45,187 --> 00:17:46,730
which is tomorrow night.

412
00:17:46,730 --> 00:17:48,312
There's a lot of great things
happening at the Ice Palace.

413
00:17:48,312 --> 00:17:49,604
You should come check it out.

414
00:17:49,604 --> 00:17:51,104
We could always use more help.

415
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:52,771
Well, that's exactly
why I'm here.

416
00:17:52,771 --> 00:17:54,813
The story I'm working on
is about the Ice Palace.

417
00:17:54,813 --> 00:17:56,021
Oh, yeah?

418
00:17:56,021 --> 00:17:57,896
Well, what's the angle?

419
00:17:57,896 --> 00:17:59,855
The new development, actually.

420
00:17:59,855 --> 00:18:01,896
How losing the Ice Palace
will affect the community.

421
00:18:01,896 --> 00:18:03,229
Yeah.

422
00:18:03,229 --> 00:18:04,938
So how long have you
worked at the Palace for?

423
00:18:04,938 --> 00:18:08,104
I, um...

424
00:18:08,104 --> 00:18:09,438
I actually own the Ice Palace.

425
00:18:09,438 --> 00:18:11,396
- Really?
- Yeah.

426
00:18:11,396 --> 00:18:14,479
- Well, can I get an interview?
- Absolutely.

427
00:18:14,479 --> 00:18:16,646
I would be more than happy
to tell you

428
00:18:16,646 --> 00:18:18,855
and the rest of the world that
no matter what anyone says,

429
00:18:18,855 --> 00:18:22,438
the Ice Palace
isn't going anywhere.

430
00:18:22,438 --> 00:18:24,021
Okay.

431
00:18:28,604 --> 00:18:30,521
The Ice Palace is over
a hundred years old.

432
00:18:30,521 --> 00:18:32,438
It's the oldest arena
in the Midwest.

433
00:18:32,438 --> 00:18:34,187
It's a true historical landmark.

434
00:18:34,187 --> 00:18:35,563
Has your family always owned it?

435
00:18:35,563 --> 00:18:37,146
Yes.

436
00:18:37,146 --> 00:18:38,896
My great-grandfather built it
on land leased from the town,

437
00:18:38,896 --> 00:18:40,438
and it was the most
modern arena--

438
00:18:40,438 --> 00:18:42,938
Mark, can we have a word?

439
00:18:42,938 --> 00:18:44,104
Now?

440
00:18:44,104 --> 00:18:45,604
If it's not, uh,
too much trouble.

441
00:18:45,604 --> 00:18:47,187
Is everything okay?

442
00:18:47,187 --> 00:18:48,896
Lori,
this is Chad Reynolds,

443
00:18:48,896 --> 00:18:50,938
the man who wants to destroy
this historical landmark.

444
00:18:50,938 --> 00:18:52,855
Out with the old,
in with the new.

445
00:18:52,855 --> 00:18:55,229
But he needs the land lease.
My land lease.

446
00:18:55,229 --> 00:18:58,271
Yours for the next few days.

447
00:18:58,271 --> 00:18:59,771
My apologies!

448
00:18:59,771 --> 00:19:00,980
Chad Reynolds,

449
00:19:00,980 --> 00:19:02,438
Reynolds and Reynolds
Developments.

450
00:19:02,438 --> 00:19:03,730
Who's the other Reynolds?

451
00:19:03,730 --> 00:19:05,229
There isn't one.
He just thinks it sounds better.

452
00:19:05,229 --> 00:19:06,396
Mm.
- Yeah.

453
00:19:06,396 --> 00:19:07,855
Are you the journalist
from Chicago?

454
00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:09,813
I heard someone was doing
a story about my development.

455
00:19:09,813 --> 00:19:12,229
I am, and I'd love to
talk to you as well.

456
00:19:12,229 --> 00:19:13,771
I'm sure that can be arranged.

457
00:19:13,771 --> 00:19:17,021
Okay, Lori, will you excuse us
for a moment? Thanks.

458
00:19:17,021 --> 00:19:18,563
- You know that guy?
- A little.

459
00:19:18,563 --> 00:19:20,521
He's been in and out of town
the last few months.

460
00:19:20,521 --> 00:19:22,271
- And...?
- Just another suit

461
00:19:22,271 --> 00:19:24,604
with a haircut
that costs more than my car.

462
00:19:24,604 --> 00:19:26,980
If we're not careful,
we might end up with a monorail.

463
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:29,730
- You got trouble?
- Right here in River City!

464
00:19:29,730 --> 00:19:31,521
The deadline's coming up quick.

465
00:19:31,521 --> 00:19:33,396
Cinderella gets
to have the ball,

466
00:19:33,396 --> 00:19:35,104
but you turn into
a pumpkin at midnight.

467
00:19:35,104 --> 00:19:36,396
Okay, you know what?

468
00:19:36,396 --> 00:19:37,980
It's not over yet.

469
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:39,312
If you lose the lease,

470
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:41,646
all the building code
grandfathering goes with it.

471
00:19:41,646 --> 00:19:44,813
The council will condemn;
they won't have a choice.

472
00:19:44,813 --> 00:19:46,104
I'm not giving up.

473
00:19:46,104 --> 00:19:47,604
Look at it like
everyone else does.

474
00:19:47,604 --> 00:19:50,438
My development
will bring new housing,

475
00:19:50,438 --> 00:19:52,104
parking, more shops,
more customers!

476
00:19:52,104 --> 00:19:54,271
Parking...

477
00:19:54,271 --> 00:19:57,187
Chad, this is the beating heart
of our town, okay?

478
00:19:57,187 --> 00:19:59,104
This is where everybody
comes for Christmas.

479
00:19:59,104 --> 00:20:01,312
I bought a piece of land off
the highway where the town

480
00:20:01,312 --> 00:20:04,396
can build a new arena.
Everybody wins.

481
00:20:04,396 --> 00:20:06,062
You've made a good
go of it, okay?

482
00:20:06,062 --> 00:20:09,980
Don't go down with the ship.

483
00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:12,396
We done here?

484
00:20:12,396 --> 00:20:14,312
For now.

485
00:20:19,062 --> 00:20:22,980
I am so sorry
to keep you all waiting.

486
00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:26,396
We are so happy we get to
welcome you home, Ms. Marshall.

487
00:20:26,396 --> 00:20:29,521
I honestly couldn't believe it
when I heard you were back.

488
00:20:29,521 --> 00:20:30,938
Are you still skating?

489
00:20:30,938 --> 00:20:33,980
No, I'm a journalist.

490
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:35,938
Are you ready?

491
00:20:35,938 --> 00:20:38,312
Yes, yes!
- Rolling, rolling.

492
00:20:38,312 --> 00:20:41,396
So, Madam Mayor,
I understand that the new arena

493
00:20:41,396 --> 00:20:43,187
will be on
the outskirts of town.

494
00:20:43,187 --> 00:20:45,855
How will that better serve
the people of Greenhill?

495
00:20:45,855 --> 00:20:48,563
Well, we anticipate
that there will be challenges

496
00:20:48,563 --> 00:20:51,896
to work through
in the transitionary period,

497
00:20:51,896 --> 00:20:54,813
but, you know,
ultimately, we will adapt.

498
00:20:54,813 --> 00:20:58,021
The owner of the Palace,
Mark Johnson,

499
00:20:58,021 --> 00:21:00,730
he insists that
it's not going anywhere.

500
00:21:00,730 --> 00:21:03,354
We certainly wish
we could support him.

501
00:21:03,354 --> 00:21:06,604
But unfortunately,
the renewal of the land lease

502
00:21:06,604 --> 00:21:08,980
is conditional on improvements,

503
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:11,730
and Mr. Johnson
has not secured the funding

504
00:21:11,730 --> 00:21:14,104
to make those upgrades.

505
00:21:14,104 --> 00:21:17,896
If the original lease expires,

506
00:21:17,896 --> 00:21:20,146
our hands will be tied.

507
00:21:20,146 --> 00:21:21,771
The exemptions cease

508
00:21:21,771 --> 00:21:24,146
and the building
will be condemned.

509
00:21:24,146 --> 00:21:27,521
And after that,
it will be open to proposals

510
00:21:27,521 --> 00:21:30,604
that incorporate demolishing
the existing building.

511
00:21:30,604 --> 00:21:34,062
Right now,
we do have one proposal.

512
00:21:34,062 --> 00:21:36,104
For the shopping/condo complex?

513
00:21:36,104 --> 00:21:38,521
It's very attractive.

514
00:21:38,521 --> 00:21:41,479
Why do you think Mark Johnson is
having a hard time letting go?

515
00:21:41,479 --> 00:21:44,104
The Ice Palace has been
in the Johnson Family

516
00:21:44,104 --> 00:21:46,229
for generations.

517
00:21:46,229 --> 00:21:48,855
Of course Mark is attached;
we all are.

518
00:21:48,855 --> 00:21:51,646
But Mark is a very fine man.

519
00:21:51,646 --> 00:21:56,187
You know, he actually
adopted a baby in need

520
00:21:56,187 --> 00:21:58,604
and is single-handedly
raising her

521
00:21:58,604 --> 00:22:00,521
to be a wonderful woman,

522
00:22:00,521 --> 00:22:03,021
all the while
running a small business.

523
00:22:03,021 --> 00:22:04,980
He sounds like
a very devoted father.

524
00:22:04,980 --> 00:22:07,312
The best of the best.

525
00:22:15,438 --> 00:22:17,229
- Hey.
- Hey.

526
00:22:23,646 --> 00:22:28,354
So... sounds like you were quite
the skater back in your time.

527
00:22:28,354 --> 00:22:29,813
Yeah.

528
00:22:29,813 --> 00:22:31,730
I should have told you
that I was from Greenhill.

529
00:22:31,730 --> 00:22:33,229
Mm-hm!

530
00:22:33,229 --> 00:22:36,521
My sister left for college
and my dad was offered a job

531
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:39,354
at a big hospital in Chicago,

532
00:22:39,354 --> 00:22:41,104
so then we moved.

533
00:22:41,104 --> 00:22:42,563
I started over.

534
00:22:42,563 --> 00:22:44,646
- Wow.
- Mm-hm.

535
00:22:44,646 --> 00:22:47,312
- Hey, can I ask you a question?
- Mm-hm.

536
00:22:47,312 --> 00:22:51,813
Will losing the Ice Palace
affect your family's Christmas?

537
00:22:51,813 --> 00:22:54,688
Well, it'll certainly
change where we go,

538
00:22:54,688 --> 00:22:58,771
but I don't think it's gonna
change who we are, you know?

539
00:22:58,771 --> 00:23:03,229
Christmas,
it's about gratitude and love

540
00:23:03,229 --> 00:23:06,312
and old memories
and new beginnings.

541
00:23:06,312 --> 00:23:09,396
Christmas,
it's in your heart, right?

542
00:23:09,396 --> 00:23:10,771
It's like your family.

543
00:23:10,771 --> 00:23:14,688
It's with us
wherever we celebrate.

544
00:23:14,688 --> 00:23:19,354
- That was deep, Jen.
- Yeah, I'm pretty insightful.

545
00:23:19,354 --> 00:23:22,563
I spend a lot of time
alone in the woods...

546
00:23:22,563 --> 00:23:24,021
waiting for bears.

547
00:23:27,187 --> 00:23:28,980
So, you going to the ball?

548
00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:32,730
I would but, you know,
it's for couples.

549
00:23:32,730 --> 00:23:35,479
I thought Christmas
was about new beginnings.

550
00:23:35,479 --> 00:23:36,980
What about Tyler?

551
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:38,563
Oh...

552
00:23:38,563 --> 00:23:40,896
You two seem to be
playing pool pretty regularly!

553
00:23:40,896 --> 00:23:44,021
Ooh, you noticed?

554
00:23:44,021 --> 00:23:47,479
Oh, he--
oh, he's a great guy,

555
00:23:47,479 --> 00:23:51,646
but he is just
completely oblivious

556
00:23:51,646 --> 00:23:53,354
when it comes to
this kind of thing.

557
00:23:53,354 --> 00:23:55,312
Well, have you tried
dropping hints?

558
00:23:55,312 --> 00:23:57,396
- You know, flirting?
- Uh, yes!

559
00:23:57,396 --> 00:24:00,021
- All the time.
- Okay!

560
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:03,730
Okay, okay. Our secret...

561
00:24:03,730 --> 00:24:06,521
Sometimes I will
even throw the game.

562
00:24:06,521 --> 00:24:07,813
No... No!

563
00:24:07,813 --> 00:24:09,563
Just so that
we have to keep playing!

564
00:24:09,563 --> 00:24:11,938
Oh, just, you know,
best out of three.

565
00:24:13,604 --> 00:24:17,730
Oh, but like I said,
he is completely oblivious!

566
00:24:19,396 --> 00:24:23,021
Well, lucky for you,
I'm an expert wing-woman.

567
00:24:23,021 --> 00:24:25,354
You're looking
at a six-time maid of honour.

568
00:24:25,354 --> 00:24:27,354
- Get out!
- I'm top gun, baby.

569
00:24:27,354 --> 00:24:29,062
I'm the best of the best.

570
00:24:29,062 --> 00:24:31,813
- So, then that makes me Goose?
- Exactly!

571
00:24:31,813 --> 00:24:33,938
You know that he dies?

572
00:24:33,938 --> 00:24:35,604
Okay, spoiler!

573
00:24:38,396 --> 00:24:39,688
Alright.
Welcome, everyone,

574
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:43,563
to the 127th Annual
Ice Palace Tree Lighting.

575
00:24:43,563 --> 00:24:47,146
Great to see some new faces
joining in the fun.

576
00:24:47,146 --> 00:24:49,479
Tonight we kick off
the festivities.

577
00:24:49,479 --> 00:24:52,396
Now, if you are able,
any and all donations

578
00:24:52,396 --> 00:24:54,604
are greatly appreciated
to our fundraising efforts.

579
00:24:54,604 --> 00:24:56,521
It is not too late
to save the Ice Palace!

580
00:24:56,521 --> 00:25:00,521
Right?

581
00:25:00,521 --> 00:25:02,730
Alright.
Well, without any further ado,

582
00:25:02,730 --> 00:25:04,688
I think it's time
to light the tree.

583
00:25:04,688 --> 00:25:07,146
Madam Mayor,
the honour is all yours.

584
00:25:07,146 --> 00:25:08,438
Thank you.

585
00:25:08,438 --> 00:25:09,771
Three...

586
00:25:09,771 --> 00:25:11,021
two...

587
00:25:11,021 --> 00:25:13,563
one...

588
00:25:16,146 --> 00:25:19,229
Merry Christmas, everyone!

589
00:25:19,229 --> 00:25:20,604
Happy holidays, everyone!

590
00:25:20,604 --> 00:25:22,354
Get yourself a hot chocolate
and a pretzel,

591
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,354

<i>♪ This is all I want ♪</i>

609
00:27:47,479 --> 00:27:50,271
So when my parents retied,
I took over, and since then,

610
00:27:50,271 --> 00:27:52,980
among other things,
I have absolutely mastered

611
00:27:52,980 --> 00:27:54,563
the Ice Palace pretzel.

612
00:27:54,563 --> 00:27:57,479
- I have to say, it's excellent.
- Mm-hm!

613
00:27:57,479 --> 00:28:00,062
Now, I'm opposed to
this redevelopment

614
00:28:00,062 --> 00:28:03,521
because the Ice Palace
is the heart and soul

615
00:28:03,521 --> 00:28:05,146
of Christmas in Greenhill, okay?

616
00:28:05,146 --> 00:28:07,938
Nobody lives in a small town
because of its luxury condos.

617
00:28:07,938 --> 00:28:10,604
It's places like this,
where your grandparents met

618
00:28:10,604 --> 00:28:12,604
or your grandchildren
played hockey,

619
00:28:12,604 --> 00:28:14,813
that keep our community
so vibrant.

620
00:28:14,813 --> 00:28:16,563
What if you lose?

621
00:28:16,563 --> 00:28:19,396
Do you have a back-up plan?

622
00:28:19,396 --> 00:28:21,855
Do I need one?
What have you heard?

623
00:28:23,688 --> 00:28:25,730
Did you know
that the initial proposal

624
00:28:25,730 --> 00:28:27,563
for a new and improved
Ice Palace?

625
00:28:27,563 --> 00:28:29,771
I mean, it was
the best of both worlds.

626
00:28:29,771 --> 00:28:32,146
But that proposal just quietly
disappeared and this new design

627
00:28:32,146 --> 00:28:35,813
with fancy shops
and condo units took its place.

628
00:28:35,813 --> 00:28:37,896
But don't worry, they are
gonna build a new rink...

629
00:28:37,896 --> 00:28:40,062
out on the highway,
between the truck stop

630
00:28:40,062 --> 00:28:42,021
and an abandoned storage lot.

631
00:28:45,271 --> 00:28:46,980
The mayor says
they don't really know

632
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:48,521
when the arena will be ready.

633
00:28:48,521 --> 00:28:51,062
Exactly, or even
if it will get built at all.

634
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:53,312
So until I get
the official boot,

635
00:28:53,312 --> 00:28:55,980
it just needs
to be full steam ahead.

636
00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:57,563
I'm actually waiting
to hear about funding

637
00:28:57,563 --> 00:29:00,563
for an on-ice exercise program
I've called SkateFit.

638
00:29:00,563 --> 00:29:01,980
If it goes through,

639
00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:04,896
it'll push our fundraising
efforts over the top.

640
00:29:04,896 --> 00:29:07,730
You really are passionate
about this place.

641
00:29:07,730 --> 00:29:09,312
Well...

642
00:29:09,312 --> 00:29:11,229
I mean, I'm passionate
about community,

643
00:29:11,229 --> 00:29:13,438
and the people that are in it,

644
00:29:13,438 --> 00:29:16,813
and the institutions
that serve it.

645
00:29:16,813 --> 00:29:19,604
A lot of very passionate people
have passed through here.

646
00:29:33,521 --> 00:29:36,396
Ohh...

647
00:29:36,396 --> 00:29:38,229
You know what?
I'll catch up with you later.

648
00:29:38,229 --> 00:29:39,604
Yeah, okay.

649
00:29:39,604 --> 00:29:41,604
Remember, though, we got
the interview with Chad

650
00:29:41,604 --> 00:29:42,855
- in the morning.
- Mm-hm.

651
00:29:47,021 --> 00:29:48,104
Lori!

652
00:29:48,104 --> 00:29:49,146
That was close, right?

653
00:29:49,146 --> 00:29:51,229
It was.

654
00:29:51,229 --> 00:29:53,938
Try picking up some speed

655
00:29:53,938 --> 00:29:56,604
and focus on putting
your weight on your back foot.

656
00:30:05,604 --> 00:30:07,688
- That still counts.
- It totally does.

657
00:30:07,688 --> 00:30:09,062
You should come
and skate with me.

658
00:30:09,062 --> 00:30:11,896
- Where's your coach?
- She left a month ago.

659
00:30:11,896 --> 00:30:13,855
But I'm still gonna do great
in the tournament.

660
00:30:13,855 --> 00:30:15,187
Of course you are.

661
00:30:15,187 --> 00:30:16,688
- I'm gonna try again.
- Okay!

662
00:30:16,688 --> 00:30:18,229
Go ahead!

663
00:30:29,354 --> 00:30:31,980
Okay,
three hot chocolates.

664
00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:33,980
Make sure they get some.

665
00:30:38,563 --> 00:30:40,271
Hey, you're still here!

666
00:30:40,271 --> 00:30:41,563
You must like it.

667
00:30:41,563 --> 00:30:43,146
I got sidetracked.

668
00:30:43,146 --> 00:30:44,730
Zoe's quite the skater.

669
00:30:44,730 --> 00:30:46,104
She works really hard.

670
00:30:46,104 --> 00:30:47,688
Yeah!

671
00:30:47,688 --> 00:30:49,688
Yeah, she was actually looking
to improve on a good finish

672
00:30:49,688 --> 00:30:50,688
in last year's tournament.

673
00:30:50,688 --> 00:30:52,062
She's got real potential.

674
00:30:52,062 --> 00:30:54,146
Do you mind if I give her
a few pointers?

675
00:30:54,146 --> 00:30:55,771
Yeah, I mean,
it's not every day

676
00:30:55,771 --> 00:30:57,062
she gets tips
from am Olympic skater.

677
00:30:57,062 --> 00:30:59,187
I didn't go to the Olympics.

678
00:30:59,187 --> 00:31:01,521
Well, you should have.

679
00:31:01,521 --> 00:31:03,521
That's very kind of you.

680
00:31:03,521 --> 00:31:05,479
I'll come by tomorrow.
Same time?

681
00:31:05,479 --> 00:31:07,354
Yeah, yeah, we'll be here.

682
00:31:07,354 --> 00:31:09,354
We'll actually be setting up
for the ball and the tournament,

683
00:31:09,354 --> 00:31:10,730
so you can meet
all the volunteers

684
00:31:10,730 --> 00:31:11,855
who actually make this possible.

685
00:31:11,855 --> 00:31:13,062
Sounds good.

686
00:31:13,062 --> 00:31:14,229
Thanks.

687
00:31:14,229 --> 00:31:15,521
Enjoy.

688
00:31:17,354 --> 00:31:19,521
And if we do lose the Palace,

689
00:31:19,521 --> 00:31:21,688
at least I'll know I tried.

690
00:31:49,354 --> 00:31:51,104
Tell me everything you remember.

691
00:31:52,521 --> 00:31:54,521
Hey, uh,
you need new string lights.

692
00:31:54,521 --> 00:31:55,896
Like half of these are dead.

693
00:31:55,896 --> 00:31:57,938
Uh, thank you for
getting all that stuff ready.

694
00:31:57,938 --> 00:31:59,730
I will pick some up
on the way home.

695
00:32:00,855 --> 00:32:02,021
Uh-oh...

696
00:32:03,104 --> 00:32:04,312
What's up?

697
00:32:04,312 --> 00:32:07,021
Something isn't sitting
right with me, okay?

698
00:32:07,021 --> 00:32:09,479
Everyone was on board with
the new and improved Ice Palace,

699
00:32:09,479 --> 00:32:11,771
and then along comes
Chad Reynolds

700
00:32:11,771 --> 00:32:13,771
with these condos
and a new arena

701
00:32:13,771 --> 00:32:16,563
on a parcel of land that
he conveniently already owns.

702
00:32:16,563 --> 00:32:19,062
I don't know, I just need
more time for fundraising.

703
00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:23,187
Hey, you know I love the Palace
almost as much as you do,

704
00:32:23,187 --> 00:32:26,813
but you're fighting
a losing battle here.

705
00:32:26,813 --> 00:32:30,104
You should focus on reframing
this as an opportunity.

706
00:32:30,104 --> 00:32:32,688
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

707
00:32:32,688 --> 00:32:34,396
And I will think about
what you said.

708
00:33:04,021 --> 00:33:06,271
Well, don't stop on my account.

709
00:33:06,271 --> 00:33:08,229
What gave me away?

710
00:33:08,229 --> 00:33:10,062
Uh, I've been meaning
to grease that old door

711
00:33:10,062 --> 00:33:13,104
for about five years.

712
00:33:13,104 --> 00:33:14,521
Love your retro skates.

713
00:33:14,521 --> 00:33:17,438
Yeah, I got them from Ronald,
sort of.

714
00:33:17,438 --> 00:33:18,980
They look a little small.

715
00:33:18,980 --> 00:33:21,354
Yeah, they're a bit tight!

716
00:33:21,354 --> 00:33:23,563
Maybe these
will be a bit better.

717
00:33:23,563 --> 00:33:26,021
I just sharpened them.
Size 7, right?

718
00:33:26,021 --> 00:33:27,479
Wow.

719
00:33:27,479 --> 00:33:30,271
Thank you.
Good guess!

720
00:33:30,271 --> 00:33:31,980
Yeah.

721
00:33:31,980 --> 00:33:34,479
Look, if you are still trying
to pretend that you are not

722
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:36,604
Lori Marshall,
Greenhill skating legend,

723
00:33:36,604 --> 00:33:38,187
then I would probably stay...

724
00:33:38,187 --> 00:33:39,855
...off the ice!

725
00:33:39,855 --> 00:33:41,521
Yeah, I don't know.

726
00:33:41,521 --> 00:33:45,855
Ever since I've come back,
I just want to skate.

727
00:33:45,855 --> 00:33:47,104
What took you so long?

728
00:33:47,104 --> 00:33:48,646
I don't know.

729
00:33:48,646 --> 00:33:50,980
But I'd rather skate about it
than talk about it.

730
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:52,604
Fair enough.

731
00:33:52,604 --> 00:33:55,187
Well, you are welcome to process
your feelings on skating

732
00:33:55,187 --> 00:33:59,521
on my rink any time, but I am
gonna lock the garage door.

733
00:33:59,521 --> 00:34:03,104
This key gets you
in the side door.

734
00:34:05,229 --> 00:34:06,938
Don't forget to lock up.

735
00:34:06,938 --> 00:34:08,646
I won't.

736
00:34:08,646 --> 00:34:09,688
Thank you.

737
00:34:09,688 --> 00:34:10,730
Yeah.

738
00:34:20,021 --> 00:34:22,062
Looks pretty tall
for a small town.

739
00:34:22,062 --> 00:34:23,938
It's certainly
going to have a view.

740
00:34:23,938 --> 00:34:26,271
And there's, uh,
underground parking.

741
00:34:26,271 --> 00:34:28,896
And why weren't you able to
incorporate a new Ice Palace

742
00:34:28,896 --> 00:34:31,104
into this development?

743
00:34:31,104 --> 00:34:33,062
Uh, I can
answer that for you.

744
00:34:33,062 --> 00:34:34,855
Lori, this is Tyler Douglas,

745
00:34:34,855 --> 00:34:37,271
Chief Architect
and, uh, Greenhill local.

746
00:34:37,271 --> 00:34:38,646
Please don't do that.
Uh...

747
00:34:38,646 --> 00:34:39,771
Hello again.

748
00:34:39,771 --> 00:34:41,646
I'm gonna want to
talk to you as well.

749
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:43,396
- Yeah, Jen said--
- And to answer your question,

750
00:34:43,396 --> 00:34:46,646
Lori, this isn't some
single-use sport facility,

751
00:34:46,646 --> 00:34:50,479
it's a community hub, servicing
a wide array of businesses,

752
00:34:50,479 --> 00:34:52,146
activities, and lifestyles.

753
00:34:52,146 --> 00:34:53,771
And what about Christmas?

754
00:34:53,771 --> 00:34:56,021
Well, we can put up a tree
and throw some tinsel around.

755
00:34:56,021 --> 00:34:57,271
Why not?

756
00:34:57,271 --> 00:34:59,813
So no Christmas Ball
or skating tournament?

757
00:34:59,813 --> 00:35:01,396
Well, people can skate
at the new arena.

758
00:35:01,396 --> 00:35:02,646
On the outskirts of town,

759
00:35:02,646 --> 00:35:05,062
which makes it harder
for people to access.

760
00:35:07,646 --> 00:35:10,062
When Mr. Reynolds hired me
to design this development,

761
00:35:10,062 --> 00:35:13,521
his analysis showed that,
uh, condo and retail units

762
00:35:13,521 --> 00:35:16,062
would bring far more people
into the downtown area.

763
00:35:16,062 --> 00:35:17,730
The numbers
on the revamped Ice Palace,

764
00:35:17,730 --> 00:35:19,438
it just didn't compare.

765
00:35:19,438 --> 00:35:22,396
This development
is gonna be great for business,

766
00:35:22,396 --> 00:35:25,479
but it's also super healthy
for the community as a whole.

767
00:35:25,479 --> 00:35:28,104
And again, there
will be a new arena!

768
00:35:28,104 --> 00:35:30,146
I purchased land
specifically for it.

769
00:35:30,146 --> 00:35:32,479
The focus of this development
is really bringing more life

770
00:35:32,479 --> 00:35:34,980
to the downtown core.

771
00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:38,187
You know, perhaps you and I
need to sit down over coffee

772
00:35:38,187 --> 00:35:40,730
so I can really explain it
to you properly.

773
00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:43,312
There's a lot of nuance
you've probably missed.

774
00:35:43,312 --> 00:35:45,021
I'm good. Um...

775
00:35:45,021 --> 00:35:47,021
I think-- I think we got it.

776
00:35:47,021 --> 00:35:49,521
That's it?
The interview's over?

777
00:35:49,521 --> 00:35:50,896
That's just half my vision.

778
00:35:50,896 --> 00:35:52,438
I have what I need.

779
00:35:52,438 --> 00:35:54,563
It was really nice
talking to you, Mr. Reynolds.

780
00:35:54,563 --> 00:35:56,479
Chad. Call me Chad.

781
00:35:56,479 --> 00:35:58,146
- Yeah...
- Please.

782
00:36:01,146 --> 00:36:02,021
That went well!

783
00:36:29,813 --> 00:36:32,104
Okay, try it
without looking at your feet.

784
00:36:32,104 --> 00:36:33,688
You just gotta trust in them.

785
00:36:33,688 --> 00:36:35,396
Feel it.

786
00:36:44,104 --> 00:36:46,354
That was it!
That was perfect!

787
00:36:46,354 --> 00:36:49,896
Okay, do it again so I can film
you so you can watch it after.

788
00:36:58,521 --> 00:37:00,563
Now will you show me
the double axel?

789
00:37:00,563 --> 00:37:02,896
Okay, easy there, tiger.

790
00:37:02,896 --> 00:37:04,855
Let's just focus
on the single first

791
00:37:04,855 --> 00:37:07,688
and then we can talk about
some different challenges.

792
00:37:15,938 --> 00:37:17,271
Hey.

793
00:37:19,563 --> 00:37:20,980
This looks amazing.

794
00:37:20,980 --> 00:37:23,021
I like the little Eiffel Towers.

795
00:37:23,021 --> 00:37:25,021
Yeah, yeah,
the Paris On Ice theme

796
00:37:25,021 --> 00:37:27,646
is a throwback to the very
first Christmas Ball, actually.

797
00:37:27,646 --> 00:37:29,354
My great-great-grandmother

798
00:37:29,354 --> 00:37:31,938
was inspired by this
little picture book

799
00:37:31,938 --> 00:37:35,271
from the 1889 World's Fair.

800
00:37:35,271 --> 00:37:36,479
Just like that.

801
00:37:36,479 --> 00:37:38,021
Sounds like
it's gonna be a fun night.

802
00:37:38,021 --> 00:37:39,604
Always is.

803
00:37:39,604 --> 00:37:41,896
I think you left before you were
old enough for the ball, right?

804
00:37:41,896 --> 00:37:43,563
Yeah, my sister
got to go, though.

805
00:37:43,563 --> 00:37:45,896
She said it was a blast.
Well worth the wait.

806
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:47,855
Yeah, I mean, not only
is it the biggest

807
00:37:47,855 --> 00:37:49,354
and best party of the year...

808
00:37:49,354 --> 00:37:51,646
and believe me,
it's a real rager-- he knows!

809
00:37:51,646 --> 00:37:53,563
But it's also an opportunity
for the community

810
00:37:53,563 --> 00:37:55,521
to come together
and for us to celebrate

811
00:37:55,521 --> 00:37:57,396
everything we've been
able to achieve together.

812
00:37:57,396 --> 00:37:59,646
And it's also
a fundraising effort

813
00:37:59,646 --> 00:38:02,021
for next year's
skating tournament.

814
00:38:02,021 --> 00:38:03,354
It's really
all about the children.

815
00:38:03,354 --> 00:38:05,354
But the adults get
to have all the fun.

816
00:38:05,354 --> 00:38:08,563
Well, you know,
life isn't always fair.

817
00:38:08,563 --> 00:38:10,062
And kids need to learn that,
don't they?

818
00:38:10,062 --> 00:38:11,396
Sounds nice.

819
00:38:11,396 --> 00:38:13,187
I actually have to
get back to the city.

820
00:38:13,187 --> 00:38:14,980
I'm spending Christmas
with my friends.

821
00:38:14,980 --> 00:38:17,354
My family
is in Mexico this year.

822
00:38:17,354 --> 00:38:20,688
Wait, so you chose
Chicago over Mexico?

823
00:38:20,688 --> 00:38:22,688
I like a traditional Christmas.

824
00:38:22,688 --> 00:38:25,938
With snow, not sand.

825
00:38:25,938 --> 00:38:28,563
You look pretty invested
in that centrepiece...

826
00:38:28,563 --> 00:38:31,438
You still sure about
the new development?

827
00:38:31,438 --> 00:38:34,396
Are you sure
you're only here for work?

828
00:38:38,271 --> 00:38:41,062
Listen, can I get
your opinion on something?

829
00:38:41,062 --> 00:38:43,229
Uh, yeah. Of course.

830
00:38:43,229 --> 00:38:45,688
Okay, so Zoe really wants
new leg warmers

831
00:38:45,688 --> 00:38:48,354
and I want to surprise her.

832
00:38:48,354 --> 00:38:50,187
Which of these
do you think she'd like best,

833
00:38:50,187 --> 00:38:53,438
those... or those?

834
00:38:53,438 --> 00:38:55,104
Honestly?

835
00:38:55,104 --> 00:38:56,563
- Neither.
- What?

836
00:38:56,563 --> 00:38:58,604
- Really?
- Is that SpongeBob?

837
00:38:58,604 --> 00:39:01,271
I think it's like
a SpongeBob knock-off.

838
00:39:01,271 --> 00:39:03,104
Well, what is she wearing
to the tournament?

839
00:39:03,104 --> 00:39:04,563
Well, last year's
dress still fits.

840
00:39:04,563 --> 00:39:07,438
A girl with an axel
in her arsenal

841
00:39:07,438 --> 00:39:10,146
should not be wearing
last year's dress.

842
00:39:10,146 --> 00:39:12,563
Okay. You win!

843
00:39:12,563 --> 00:39:15,855
But, I mean, where, oh where,

844
00:39:15,855 --> 00:39:18,396
am I gonna find somebody
with an eye for skating styles

845
00:39:18,396 --> 00:39:20,354
that's gonna help me out?

846
00:39:21,980 --> 00:39:23,938
Okay, okay, don't twist my arm.

847
00:39:31,104 --> 00:39:32,104
Hello?

848
00:39:32,104 --> 00:39:33,229
Your story.

849
00:39:33,229 --> 00:39:35,563
It's missing something.

850
00:39:35,563 --> 00:39:38,396
This Mark guy is interesting.

851
00:39:38,396 --> 00:39:40,980
Can you dig more
into his back story?

852
00:39:40,980 --> 00:39:42,479
What makes him tick?

853
00:39:42,479 --> 00:39:44,855
Well, it's more about
the mission than the man,

854
00:39:44,855 --> 00:39:46,312
though, right?

855
00:39:46,312 --> 00:39:49,021
You go where the story leads.
Juicier, the better!

856
00:39:49,021 --> 00:39:50,187
Juicy?

857
00:39:50,187 --> 00:39:51,438
Right.

858
00:39:51,438 --> 00:39:52,730
You're a journalist, Lori.

859
00:39:52,730 --> 00:39:55,730
I need to know you've
got the nose for it.

860
00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:58,438
Uh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

861
00:40:00,813 --> 00:40:02,312
Okay.

862
00:40:04,604 --> 00:40:06,229
This looks great.

863
00:40:06,229 --> 00:40:08,062
Hey. Yeah.

864
00:40:08,062 --> 00:40:09,813
- Yeah, you think so?
- Yeah.

865
00:40:09,813 --> 00:40:11,938
Thanks.

866
00:40:11,938 --> 00:40:13,479
What have you got there?

867
00:40:13,479 --> 00:40:16,271
I have a dress
and two leg warmers

868
00:40:16,271 --> 00:40:17,730
so she can switch it up.

869
00:40:17,730 --> 00:40:20,771
- Oh, what? Thank you!
- Of course.

870
00:40:20,771 --> 00:40:21,855
Wow!

871
00:40:21,855 --> 00:40:23,813
Very spiffy.

872
00:40:23,813 --> 00:40:27,646
Would you like to, I don't know,
come to dinner with me?

873
00:40:27,646 --> 00:40:30,312
And Zoe.
And, uh, the both of us.

874
00:40:30,312 --> 00:40:33,104
I mean, you should really,
you know, give these to her,

875
00:40:33,104 --> 00:40:34,771
uh, yourself, so...

876
00:40:34,771 --> 00:40:37,521
Uh, yeah, that sounds lovely.

877
00:40:39,646 --> 00:40:43,146
It's just... I should really
focus on my story tonight.

878
00:40:43,146 --> 00:40:44,855
I have to get this one right.

879
00:40:44,855 --> 00:40:46,563
Yeah. Totally.

880
00:40:46,563 --> 00:40:49,062
- I mean, that's why you're here.
- Mm-hm.

881
00:40:49,062 --> 00:40:51,938
I will, uh, give these to her
myself and let her know

882
00:40:51,938 --> 00:40:53,813
that they're from you.

883
00:40:53,813 --> 00:40:56,104
Can I at least
walk you back to the inn,

884
00:40:56,104 --> 00:40:58,062
your office away
from the office?

885
00:40:58,062 --> 00:40:59,396
Sure.

886
00:40:59,396 --> 00:41:02,021
We can talk about
how horrifying your taste

887
00:41:02,021 --> 00:41:03,771
in leg warmers is.

888
00:41:03,771 --> 00:41:06,312
Or, I don't know,
your complete disdain

889
00:41:06,312 --> 00:41:07,896
for quality chicken wings.

890
00:41:09,730 --> 00:41:12,021
You know,
I've been watching you with Zoe.

891
00:41:12,021 --> 00:41:13,604
You're a natural coach.

892
00:41:13,604 --> 00:41:15,396
She's a natural.

893
00:41:15,396 --> 00:41:18,229
That girl's got
some real potential.

894
00:41:18,229 --> 00:41:20,021
It's been nice having
the ice to myself.

895
00:41:20,021 --> 00:41:22,688
There's just something about

896
00:41:22,688 --> 00:41:24,980
skating in front of
people still.

897
00:41:24,980 --> 00:41:26,521
But isn't that the best part?

898
00:41:26,521 --> 00:41:30,271
I mean, feeling the excitement
of everyone cheering you on.

899
00:41:30,271 --> 00:41:34,396
Most of the time it's great,
but I got sucked in.

900
00:41:34,396 --> 00:41:36,521
As much as I fed off
of the crowd's excitement,

901
00:41:36,521 --> 00:41:39,104
I felt obligated to feed it.

902
00:41:39,104 --> 00:41:43,187
I knew my routine.
I had everything set.

903
00:41:43,187 --> 00:41:46,980
Everyone I knew came to the rink
expecting something incredible,

904
00:41:46,980 --> 00:41:49,563
and that's when
I added the jump.

905
00:41:49,563 --> 00:41:52,938
I wasn't even ready for it.

906
00:41:52,938 --> 00:41:55,604
And then I ruined everything.

907
00:41:55,604 --> 00:41:58,730
I was supposed to medal
in those games and...

908
00:41:58,730 --> 00:42:02,980
that fall meant
I didn't even get to go.

909
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:05,479
Yeah, it was heartbreaking.

910
00:42:05,479 --> 00:42:08,896
We were still proud of you,
even after the fall.

911
00:42:08,896 --> 00:42:12,521
You're still a legend here.

912
00:42:12,521 --> 00:42:15,062
I do still feel pretty
connected to this place.

913
00:42:17,479 --> 00:42:19,354
I guess I just gotta
enjoy the ride.

914
00:42:19,354 --> 00:42:21,896
There you go.
Now you're talking.

915
00:42:21,896 --> 00:42:24,604
You know, our figure skating
club could use a new coach.

916
00:42:24,604 --> 00:42:27,438
The last one
got married and moved away.

917
00:42:27,438 --> 00:42:30,229
Maybe you'd consider it.

918
00:42:30,229 --> 00:42:33,062
Well, that's a sweet offer,
but...

919
00:42:33,062 --> 00:42:36,146
skating's behind me.

920
00:42:36,146 --> 00:42:39,146
I, um, I have a lot of
stories to chase

921
00:42:39,146 --> 00:42:42,479
and a very serious editor
to impress.

922
00:42:42,479 --> 00:42:44,104
Well, I'm already impressed.

923
00:42:44,104 --> 00:42:45,813
The kids, they would love you.

924
00:42:45,813 --> 00:42:47,896
I mean, could you imagine
a champion figure skater

925
00:42:47,896 --> 00:42:49,896
coaching at the Ice Palace?

926
00:42:49,896 --> 00:42:52,604
We'd paint your face
on the wall, 15 feet tall.

927
00:42:52,604 --> 00:42:54,730
Okay, that's not happening!

928
00:42:54,730 --> 00:42:56,771
But I'll think about it.

929
00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:07,479
So, I'll see you later?

930
00:43:07,479 --> 00:43:09,938
Yeah. Yeah, you will.

931
00:43:11,730 --> 00:43:13,521
Goodnight, Lori Marshall.

932
00:43:13,521 --> 00:43:14,980
Goodnight.

933
00:43:49,187 --> 00:43:52,730
Tonight on Country Lovin',
city slicker Lori Marshall

934
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:55,688
may have found her flannel-clad
country bumpkin--

935
00:43:55,688 --> 00:43:58,104
but is she really ready
to trade her Peloton

936
00:43:58,104 --> 00:44:00,146
for a pickup truck, hm?

937
00:44:00,146 --> 00:44:02,688
Okay, A, wearing flannel
doesn't make you a bumpkin.

938
00:44:02,688 --> 00:44:06,104
And B... wait, what are
you still doing at the office?

939
00:44:06,104 --> 00:44:09,646
Ugh, you've inspired me
to be a better journalist.

940
00:44:09,646 --> 00:44:13,438
I'm polishing a story about the
new mailbox design proposals.

941
00:44:13,438 --> 00:44:14,771
Are you there, Pulitzer?

942
00:44:14,771 --> 00:44:17,730
It's me, Ken!

943
00:44:17,730 --> 00:44:20,271
That's nice.

944
00:44:20,271 --> 00:44:21,813
What's wrong?

945
00:44:21,813 --> 00:44:23,438
I don't know.

946
00:44:23,438 --> 00:44:26,438
Maxine's really pushing
for the drama,

947
00:44:26,438 --> 00:44:30,271
but there's so much genuine
joy and community here.

948
00:44:30,271 --> 00:44:32,104
If I submit the story
that she wants,

949
00:44:32,104 --> 00:44:35,604
then I'm going to be
hurting people.

950
00:44:35,604 --> 00:44:38,479
Real people, and...

951
00:44:38,479 --> 00:44:41,354
I don't know, I feel like
I'm losing objectivity.

952
00:44:41,354 --> 00:44:43,312
I feel like I'm losing my mind.

953
00:44:43,312 --> 00:44:45,604
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
easy does it!

954
00:44:45,604 --> 00:44:49,688
You moved to the big city
and built a life, and a career.

955
00:44:49,688 --> 00:44:52,271
You're living the dream.

956
00:44:52,271 --> 00:44:54,396
Don't sabotage yourself
now that you're tiptoeing

957
00:44:54,396 --> 00:44:56,271
on the precipice of victory.

958
00:44:56,271 --> 00:44:58,062
Put your head back in the game.

959
00:44:58,062 --> 00:45:00,438
Finish the story,
get the promotion,

960
00:45:00,438 --> 00:45:03,813
and come home!

961
00:45:03,813 --> 00:45:05,396
Plus, I've already
made a vision board

962
00:45:05,396 --> 00:45:07,521
for your new office.

963
00:45:07,521 --> 00:45:10,312
High back leather is so 2002.

964
00:45:10,312 --> 00:45:11,730
You're right.

965
00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:14,896
Yeah, I'm not gonna
blow this opportunity.

966
00:45:14,896 --> 00:45:16,813
I've worked too hard for this.

967
00:45:16,813 --> 00:45:18,312
Excellent.

968
00:45:18,312 --> 00:45:20,354
And what's wrong
with high back leather?

969
00:45:20,354 --> 00:45:23,813
Please, please, try to keep
your eye on the ball.

970
00:45:29,604 --> 00:45:30,730
Okay...

971
00:46:29,312 --> 00:46:32,312
Show me what you got!

972
00:46:39,646 --> 00:46:41,396
Go ahead.

973
00:46:47,187 --> 00:46:49,062
Woo!
Good job, honey!

974
00:46:49,062 --> 00:46:50,896
Great job, honey!

975
00:46:56,479 --> 00:46:57,521
Did you see that?

976
00:46:57,521 --> 00:47:01,646
- She really is gifted.
- Yeah.

977
00:47:01,646 --> 00:47:03,563
Looks like you almost
made it this time, huh?

978
00:47:03,563 --> 00:47:05,396
Well, it's weird.

979
00:47:05,396 --> 00:47:07,938
Even though everyone's
been so nice, I just...

980
00:47:07,938 --> 00:47:09,730
I can't do it.

981
00:47:09,730 --> 00:47:11,980
Yes, you can, okay?
This whole town loves you.

982
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:14,187
What if I helped you?

983
00:47:14,187 --> 00:47:15,938
- To skate?
- Yeah!

984
00:47:15,938 --> 00:47:17,271
Come on, I do alright.

985
00:47:17,271 --> 00:47:19,646
Right? I mean...

986
00:47:19,646 --> 00:47:23,146
I could distract you with my
charming conversational skill.

987
00:47:23,146 --> 00:47:24,938
Or, you know, better yet,

988
00:47:24,938 --> 00:47:26,229
we could play
some Christmas music.

989
00:47:26,229 --> 00:47:27,604
Maybe that Mariah Carey thing.

990
00:47:27,604 --> 00:47:29,271
You wouldn't even notice
the other skaters.

991
00:47:29,271 --> 00:47:31,312
I don't know.

992
00:47:31,312 --> 00:47:33,062
For the kids?

993
00:47:34,438 --> 00:47:36,980
I did ballet
and I loved it,

994
00:47:36,980 --> 00:47:39,229
but dance classes ran
during the summer,

995
00:47:39,229 --> 00:47:42,354
so my dad signed me up
for the winter skating program.

996
00:47:42,354 --> 00:47:44,354
Ballet?

997
00:47:44,354 --> 00:47:46,312
Zoe's actually been
bugging me about lessons.

998
00:47:46,312 --> 00:47:48,396
Did it...
help with your skating?

999
00:47:48,396 --> 00:47:49,563
Like with the jumping?

1000
00:47:49,563 --> 00:47:51,229
Yeah. I mean, I was six,

1001
00:47:51,229 --> 00:47:54,104
so it's mostly
just about twirling,

1002
00:47:54,104 --> 00:47:56,563
tutus, and wedgies.

1003
00:47:56,563 --> 00:47:59,229
Still, your jump game
was legendary.

1004
00:47:59,229 --> 00:48:00,312
Especially that last one.

1005
00:48:03,521 --> 00:48:05,688
Maybe you did
push a little too far,

1006
00:48:05,688 --> 00:48:08,438
but you were just trying to
challenge yourself to be better.

1007
00:48:08,438 --> 00:48:10,438
That's what made you
an inspiration.

1008
00:48:10,438 --> 00:48:13,187
There's magic about this place.

1009
00:48:13,187 --> 00:48:15,438
Champions grow here,
and I want every--

1010
00:48:15,438 --> 00:48:17,980
Whoops!

1011
00:48:17,980 --> 00:48:19,771
They're rusty champions,

1012
00:48:19,771 --> 00:48:22,980
but they're
champions nonetheless.

1013
00:48:22,980 --> 00:48:25,396
Clearly my best days
are behind me.

1014
00:48:25,396 --> 00:48:27,354
That's not true.

1015
00:48:27,354 --> 00:48:29,396
You're finding it again.

1016
00:48:29,396 --> 00:48:32,730
You still have plenty to give.

1017
00:48:32,730 --> 00:48:34,021
Oh--!

1018
00:48:35,980 --> 00:48:37,563
- There's a bump, guys!
- I don't see it.

1019
00:48:37,563 --> 00:48:38,813
No, that's a well-known bump.

1020
00:48:38,813 --> 00:48:40,855
A bump there.

1021
00:48:42,813 --> 00:48:44,354
Watch this.

1022
00:49:25,104 --> 00:49:27,521
Um...

1023
00:49:27,521 --> 00:49:29,646
I need one more
big favour from you.

1024
00:49:30,938 --> 00:49:32,563
It's Christmas cookies.

1025
00:49:32,563 --> 00:49:34,730
Going for that
deconstructing fad?

1026
00:49:34,730 --> 00:49:37,479
Uh, well,
I got a recipe online.

1027
00:49:37,479 --> 00:49:38,896
And...?

1028
00:49:38,896 --> 00:49:42,479
And I recognize most
of the words but, um...

1029
00:49:42,479 --> 00:49:44,271
You assumed that I could help.

1030
00:49:44,271 --> 00:49:45,688
- It's not like that, alright?
- Mm-hm?

1031
00:49:45,688 --> 00:49:47,229
It's a Christmas tradition,

1032
00:49:47,229 --> 00:49:49,563
and aren't you the master
of Christmas traditions?

1033
00:49:49,563 --> 00:49:51,938
Well, I haven't
gone pro or anything,

1034
00:49:51,938 --> 00:49:53,896
but aren't you the pretzel
maestro or something?

1035
00:49:53,896 --> 00:49:55,938
That is totally
different, okay?

1036
00:49:55,938 --> 00:49:57,771
That recipe is bulletproof,

1037
00:49:57,771 --> 00:50:00,396
and most people are just
in it for the salt, anyway.

1038
00:50:00,396 --> 00:50:03,479
I haven't tried
actual baking since I set fire

1039
00:50:03,479 --> 00:50:05,730
to our attic trying to make
a cake for Zoe's 10th birthday.

1040
00:50:05,730 --> 00:50:07,021
Oh, no!

1041
00:50:07,021 --> 00:50:09,146
Just take pity on me!
I mean, it's Christmas,

1042
00:50:09,146 --> 00:50:10,813
and I'm admitting
a real weakness here.

1043
00:50:10,813 --> 00:50:14,354
And... I even got the hats!

1044
00:50:31,438 --> 00:50:33,104
Do you have a whisk?

1045
00:50:33,104 --> 00:50:34,688
Yeah, yeah.

1046
00:50:34,688 --> 00:50:36,938
Uh... Hmm.

1047
00:50:36,938 --> 00:50:38,479
That's right, uh...

1048
00:50:38,479 --> 00:50:42,688
it's right... hmm, yep!

1049
00:50:42,688 --> 00:50:45,229
That, uh,
that would have been my...

1050
00:50:45,229 --> 00:50:47,646
- sixth guess probably.
- Okay. Yeah?

1051
00:50:47,646 --> 00:50:50,229
Actually, seventh.
What is this thing?

1052
00:50:50,229 --> 00:50:52,896
Just whisk up the eggs.

1053
00:50:52,896 --> 00:50:55,229
Yes, chef.

1054
00:50:55,229 --> 00:50:57,521
My 10th birthday cake
was a disaster, too.

1055
00:50:57,521 --> 00:50:59,229
Oh, yeah?
What happened?

1056
00:50:59,229 --> 00:51:01,229
My sister dropped it.

1057
00:51:01,229 --> 00:51:02,771
Oh, no.

1058
00:51:02,771 --> 00:51:05,354
It was right over there
on the ice, actually.

1059
00:51:05,354 --> 00:51:06,855
Right, yeah.

1060
00:51:06,855 --> 00:51:09,021
I mean, I pretty much
had to rebuild our roof,

1061
00:51:09,021 --> 00:51:10,563
but that counts.

1062
00:51:12,646 --> 00:51:15,062
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're merenguing those eggs!

1063
00:51:15,062 --> 00:51:16,354
What?

1064
00:51:16,354 --> 00:51:18,896
You just gotta
slow it down a little bit.

1065
00:51:18,896 --> 00:51:20,563
Like this.

1066
00:51:25,021 --> 00:51:26,646
That's better.

1067
00:51:29,438 --> 00:51:32,813
Okay!
Yeah, that's great.

1068
00:51:32,813 --> 00:51:36,896
You can add in
the dry ingredients now.

1069
00:51:36,896 --> 00:51:38,688
Good job.

1070
00:51:38,688 --> 00:51:40,312
Yeah.

1071
00:51:43,896 --> 00:51:45,771
Looking good out there.

1072
00:51:45,771 --> 00:51:47,771
- Thanks.
- So, what's up?

1073
00:51:47,771 --> 00:51:49,855
I have something for you.

1074
00:51:53,146 --> 00:51:55,104
What am I supposed
to do with these?

1075
00:51:55,104 --> 00:51:56,646
Grab the bull by the horns.

1076
00:51:56,646 --> 00:51:59,187
Tyler? Oh, no, no.

1077
00:51:59,187 --> 00:52:01,730
You could spend the rest
of your life dropping hints.

1078
00:52:01,730 --> 00:52:02,980
It's time for
the nuclear option.

1079
00:52:02,980 --> 00:52:04,479
Don't take no for an answer.

1080
00:52:04,479 --> 00:52:05,980
Okay, is that it?

1081
00:52:05,980 --> 00:52:07,813
Because it's
karaoke night at Gary's.

1082
00:52:07,813 --> 00:52:09,479
Go put Tyler to shame.

1083
00:52:09,479 --> 00:52:12,021
That is not humanly possible.

1084
00:52:15,229 --> 00:52:17,021
Okay, moment of truth.

1085
00:52:17,021 --> 00:52:19,104
This is the batch
that I made myself.

1086
00:52:19,104 --> 00:52:21,229
- Ready?
- Okay, one...

1087
00:52:21,229 --> 00:52:22,396
two...

1088
00:52:22,396 --> 00:52:23,646
three...

1089
00:52:27,187 --> 00:52:29,438
Okay.
What? No!

1090
00:52:29,438 --> 00:52:30,563
Gimme that.

1091
00:52:30,563 --> 00:52:32,730
No. Gimme.

1092
00:52:32,730 --> 00:52:34,146
Oh. Salt!

1093
00:52:34,146 --> 00:52:35,855
No, see,
I measured the salt twice.

1094
00:52:35,855 --> 00:52:37,730
It's the exact
right amount of salt.

1095
00:52:37,730 --> 00:52:40,646
And sugar?

1096
00:52:40,646 --> 00:52:42,938
- Sugar...
- Mm-hm?

1097
00:52:42,938 --> 00:52:44,730
Why do salt and sugar
both come in white bags?

1098
00:52:44,730 --> 00:52:47,187
That is a very clear
design flaw.

1099
00:52:47,187 --> 00:52:49,896
Right...

1100
00:52:49,896 --> 00:52:52,187
Yeah, well,
I have enough good ones.

1101
00:52:52,187 --> 00:52:53,813
Anyways, it's time to clear out.

1102
00:52:53,813 --> 00:52:56,229
I gotta flood before
the over-70 league turns up.

1103
00:52:56,229 --> 00:52:58,730
- Hmm, rowdy bunch?
- Oh, you wouldn't believe.

1104
00:52:58,730 --> 00:53:01,104
Mr. Cafferty,
he straps a stick to his walker.

1105
00:53:01,104 --> 00:53:02,521
It's adorable.

1106
00:53:02,521 --> 00:53:04,062
Okay, I'll spread the word.

1107
00:53:04,062 --> 00:53:06,396
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Um...

1108
00:53:06,396 --> 00:53:08,938
I'll be done in 20 minutes.

1109
00:53:08,938 --> 00:53:12,563
And Zoe's wrapping presents
with Grandma and Grandpa,

1110
00:53:12,563 --> 00:53:14,813
so, I don't know,
maybe do you want to

1111
00:53:14,813 --> 00:53:16,604
try that dinner again,
just me this time?

1112
00:53:16,604 --> 00:53:17,688
Oh!

1113
00:53:17,688 --> 00:53:19,813
I mean, only if you, uh--

1114
00:53:19,813 --> 00:53:21,896
I would love to.

1115
00:53:21,896 --> 00:53:22,980
Great.

1116
00:53:24,730 --> 00:53:26,104
What...

1117
00:53:26,104 --> 00:53:28,855
...is that?

1118
00:53:28,855 --> 00:53:30,104
It's Mr. Cafferty.

1119
00:53:30,104 --> 00:53:32,146
He needs help up the steps
with his walker.

1120
00:53:32,146 --> 00:53:34,146
Uh, I'm-- I'm gonna go change!

1121
00:53:34,146 --> 00:53:35,730
Okay, and I'll--

1122
00:53:35,730 --> 00:53:37,104
We'll pick you up--

1123
00:53:37,104 --> 00:53:38,604
Okay.

1124
00:53:57,021 --> 00:53:58,021
Hi!

1125
00:53:58,021 --> 00:53:59,104
You're still in bed?

1126
00:53:59,104 --> 00:54:01,104
- It's almost 10.
- Uh, no.

1127
00:54:01,104 --> 00:54:03,312
No, no, no,
I just went for a run.

1128
00:54:03,312 --> 00:54:05,104
Seizing the day!

1129
00:54:05,104 --> 00:54:07,229
Your story's getting traction.

1130
00:54:07,229 --> 00:54:09,438
The suits upstairs
are eager to talk to you.

1131
00:54:09,438 --> 00:54:10,855
Really?

1132
00:54:10,855 --> 00:54:13,229
First week of January.
Very promising.

1133
00:54:13,354 --> 00:54:15,563
Wow. That soon?

1134
00:54:15,563 --> 00:54:17,730
They want to move up
the new division launch,

1135
00:54:17,730 --> 00:54:20,771
providing they can
get their team in place.

1136
00:54:20,771 --> 00:54:23,896
It just doesn't give me
that much time to think.

1137
00:54:23,896 --> 00:54:25,563
Think about what?

1138
00:54:25,563 --> 00:54:28,271
Well, there's this-- this
skating tournament thing.

1139
00:54:28,271 --> 00:54:32,396
I just feel like I found more
than I was looking for here.

1140
00:54:32,396 --> 00:54:36,604
So, wait, the...
the story is live?

1141
00:54:36,604 --> 00:54:38,312
It's online?

1142
00:54:38,312 --> 00:54:40,521
Went with the 6 am push.

1143
00:54:40,521 --> 00:54:43,187
Okay. Uh, so that means...

1144
00:54:43,187 --> 00:54:45,730
Right, I gotta go.
I gotta go.

1145
00:54:53,563 --> 00:54:56,104
Mark...

1146
00:54:56,104 --> 00:54:57,980
I've come to shake hands.

1147
00:54:57,980 --> 00:55:01,896
You fought valiantly,
but all's fair, right?

1148
00:55:01,896 --> 00:55:04,438
Yeah, aren't you jumping
the gun a bit there, Chad?

1149
00:55:04,438 --> 00:55:07,688
I still have, uh...
oh, 36 hours.

1150
00:55:07,688 --> 00:55:09,479
Plenty of time
for a Christmas miracle.

1151
00:55:09,479 --> 00:55:11,479
Hmph!

1152
00:55:11,479 --> 00:55:13,938
But you... you can't be serious.

1153
00:55:13,938 --> 00:55:15,688
It's over, Mark.

1154
00:55:15,688 --> 00:55:17,312
The obituary's been published.

1155
00:55:17,312 --> 00:55:18,938
Okay, you know what, Chad?

1156
00:55:18,938 --> 00:55:21,396
I woke up in such a good mood
today that even your nonsense

1157
00:55:21,396 --> 00:55:23,146
isn't gonna get under my skin,

1158
00:55:23,146 --> 00:55:26,062
so why don't you just go have
a good day-- somewhere else?

1159
00:55:26,062 --> 00:55:29,896
You actually
haven't seen it yet.

1160
00:55:29,896 --> 00:55:31,271
Seen what?

1161
00:55:31,271 --> 00:55:35,521
Lori Marshall's story
about my development.

1162
00:55:35,521 --> 00:55:37,688
It's published?
She didn't...

1163
00:55:37,688 --> 00:55:39,021
She didn't mention that.

1164
00:55:39,021 --> 00:55:40,271
You know what?

1165
00:55:40,271 --> 00:55:43,104
Let me show you
a few highlights.

1166
00:55:43,104 --> 00:55:44,646
Come on.

1167
00:55:47,980 --> 00:55:50,021
[video] The majority
of people in town are welcoming

1168
00:55:50,021 --> 00:55:51,980
the economic growth
the development will bring.

1169
00:55:51,980 --> 00:55:54,521
New shopping and dining options,
condo units,

1170
00:55:54,521 --> 00:55:57,104
and much-needed accessible
parking will finally usher

1171
00:55:57,104 --> 00:55:59,271
Greenhill into the modern age.

1172
00:55:59,271 --> 00:56:01,479
There is certainly a vocal
minority that is insisting

1173
00:56:01,479 --> 00:56:03,521
that the heritage building
should be maintained,

1174
00:56:03,521 --> 00:56:06,187
but the mayor and her council
are convinced that the town

1175
00:56:06,187 --> 00:56:07,938
will be better served
by the new development.

1176
00:56:07,938 --> 00:56:09,187
Yeah.

1177
00:56:10,771 --> 00:56:12,146
That's gotta sting, huh?

1178
00:56:12,146 --> 00:56:13,521
Ouch.

1179
00:56:13,521 --> 00:56:16,271
But it's best you hear it
from me, isn't it?

1180
00:56:16,271 --> 00:56:18,771
And I was actually thinking,
I'm gonna need someone local

1181
00:56:18,771 --> 00:56:21,187
to, uh, liaise
with the townsfolk,

1182
00:56:21,187 --> 00:56:23,396
just to make sure
everything goes smoothly.

1183
00:56:23,396 --> 00:56:25,855
Maybe you'd be interested.

1184
00:56:25,855 --> 00:56:27,521
No?

1185
00:56:27,521 --> 00:56:30,563
Okay. I'll, uh...
I'll leave you to it, then.

1186
00:56:30,563 --> 00:56:32,896
No hard feelings, big guy.

1187
00:56:32,896 --> 00:56:35,604
Also, um, that tree
is crooked...

1188
00:56:35,604 --> 00:56:38,146
or maybe it's the floor.

1189
00:56:39,646 --> 00:56:41,187
I love winning!

1190
00:56:41,187 --> 00:56:42,438
Ha-ha!

1191
00:56:45,563 --> 00:56:48,688
[on phone] There she is.
Toast of the town!

1192
00:56:48,688 --> 00:56:50,730
Are you on your way
to the train station?

1193
00:56:50,730 --> 00:56:54,646
- No.
- Uh-oh, what's wrong?

1194
00:56:54,646 --> 00:56:56,438
I think I ruined everything.

1195
00:56:56,438 --> 00:56:58,146
What's wrong?
What happened?

1196
00:56:58,146 --> 00:57:00,813
I didn't get the chance
to warn him about the angle.

1197
00:57:00,813 --> 00:57:02,646
It reads pretty objectively.

1198
00:57:02,646 --> 00:57:04,896
It is, but it still hurts.

1199
00:57:04,896 --> 00:57:07,479
He's worked so hard
trying to save the Ice Palace,

1200
00:57:07,479 --> 00:57:09,521
and I was just
so blinded by ambition.

1201
00:57:09,521 --> 00:57:12,730
I just wanted the job so badly!
And...

1202
00:57:12,730 --> 00:57:15,312
I don't know, he doesn't
even want to see me probably.

1203
00:57:15,312 --> 00:57:18,438
I've been working with
Mark's daughter on her skating,

1204
00:57:18,438 --> 00:57:22,187
and we had this truly
amazing dinner last night and--

1205
00:57:22,187 --> 00:57:23,980
You went on a date?

1206
00:57:23,980 --> 00:57:25,771
Marky Mark has a kid?

1207
00:57:25,771 --> 00:57:27,688
Wait-- you're skating again?

1208
00:57:27,688 --> 00:57:30,438
- Yes.
- I'm so proud of you!

1209
00:57:30,438 --> 00:57:31,855
The story's fine.

1210
00:57:31,855 --> 00:57:34,438
Just explain what happened,
and if it's meant to be,

1211
00:57:34,438 --> 00:57:35,730
he'll understand.

1212
00:57:35,730 --> 00:57:37,479
And if not?

1213
00:57:37,479 --> 00:57:39,104
Then you'll come home
to your friends.

1214
00:57:39,104 --> 00:57:40,980
And your promotion.

1215
00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:43,312
And we'll find you
an even better guy.

1216
00:57:43,312 --> 00:57:45,563
You deserve to be happy, Lori,

1217
00:57:45,563 --> 00:57:49,104
but you have to decide
what you want.

1218
00:57:49,104 --> 00:57:51,146
I want to skate.

1219
00:57:51,146 --> 00:57:53,396
I want to help kids like Zoe.

1220
00:57:53,396 --> 00:57:56,521
I want a job that
makes me feel something.

1221
00:57:56,521 --> 00:57:58,229
I want to save the Ice Palace.

1222
00:57:58,229 --> 00:57:59,646
And Marky Mark?

1223
00:57:59,646 --> 00:58:01,312
Yeah!

1224
00:58:01,312 --> 00:58:03,396
Well, there you are, then.

1225
00:58:03,396 --> 00:58:05,021
Go get it.

1226
00:58:05,021 --> 00:58:07,312
I might have to stay
a little longer.

1227
00:58:07,312 --> 00:58:10,021
You might have to stay forever.

1228
00:58:10,021 --> 00:58:11,855
That's fine. We'll visit.

1229
00:58:23,271 --> 00:58:26,187
Thought you'd be
on your way home by now.

1230
00:58:26,187 --> 00:58:28,980
Turns out you really
do belong in Chicago.

1231
00:58:28,980 --> 00:58:30,396
I wanted to explain myself.

1232
00:58:30,396 --> 00:58:32,187
Just...

1233
00:58:32,187 --> 00:58:33,813
It's not necessary.

1234
00:58:33,813 --> 00:58:36,104
[video] The owner of the
Ice Palace is a man out of time,

1235
00:58:36,104 --> 00:58:38,604
struggling against
the inevitability of change.

1236
00:58:38,604 --> 00:58:42,021
His efforts, though valiant,
are futile.

1237
00:58:42,021 --> 00:58:45,021
"Valiant but futile."

1238
00:58:45,021 --> 00:58:47,730
I thought you understood
what I'm trying to save here.

1239
00:58:50,688 --> 00:58:52,521
I think that...

1240
00:58:52,521 --> 00:58:56,646
people are so afraid of...

1241
00:58:56,646 --> 00:59:00,312
of change and failure

1242
00:59:00,312 --> 00:59:02,604
that they put these walls up

1243
00:59:02,604 --> 00:59:07,062
to feel safer.

1244
00:59:07,062 --> 00:59:09,604
But really, it's just we're
missing out on opportunities

1245
00:59:09,604 --> 00:59:14,354
to learn and grow and be better.

1246
00:59:16,896 --> 00:59:20,771
Look, everyone I talked to
said the same thing,

1247
00:59:20,771 --> 00:59:24,521
that they'll miss
the Ice Palace but...

1248
00:59:24,521 --> 00:59:27,980
but it's time to let it go.

1249
00:59:27,980 --> 00:59:31,479
To keep up
with traditions and...

1250
00:59:31,479 --> 00:59:33,521
and keep moving
forward with innovation.

1251
00:59:33,521 --> 00:59:36,021
It doesn't have to be
one or the other.

1252
00:59:36,021 --> 00:59:38,062
Tell that to Chad's
wrecking crew.

1253
00:59:38,062 --> 00:59:39,896
I mean, is this what
you wanted all along?

1254
00:59:39,896 --> 00:59:41,646
Just some story
about a crazy man

1255
00:59:41,646 --> 00:59:42,938
trying to deprive his community?

1256
00:59:42,938 --> 00:59:43,980
No! That's not what--

1257
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:45,604
Is this why you
were helping Zoe?

1258
00:59:45,604 --> 00:59:48,604
Just to get closer to the story?

1259
00:59:48,604 --> 00:59:51,896
I love Zoe.

1260
00:59:51,896 --> 00:59:55,896
And I love the Ice Palace.
But...

1261
00:59:55,896 --> 00:59:58,062
it was important

1262
00:59:58,062 --> 00:59:59,604
that I delivered
on this assignment.

1263
00:59:59,604 --> 01:00:02,563
I am planning a ball
and a tournament tomorrow,

1264
01:00:02,563 --> 01:00:05,396
and those are the things
that I think are important.

1265
01:00:09,354 --> 01:00:11,813
Maybe this is
for the best, okay?

1266
01:00:11,813 --> 01:00:15,396
You're Chicago, I'm Greenhill,

1267
01:00:15,396 --> 01:00:16,980
and I'm busy.

1268
01:00:21,187 --> 01:00:22,771
Okay.

1269
01:00:41,563 --> 01:00:43,688
Lori! You stayed!

1270
01:00:43,688 --> 01:00:45,438
Dad said you
went back to Chicago.

1271
01:00:45,438 --> 01:00:46,771
And miss your big moment?

1272
01:00:46,771 --> 01:00:48,062
No way.

1273
01:00:48,062 --> 01:00:49,187
How are you feeling?

1274
01:00:49,187 --> 01:00:51,312
Great,
thanks to all your lessons.

1275
01:00:54,312 --> 01:00:57,688
Uh, you taught me
some really big lessons, too.

1276
01:00:57,688 --> 01:01:00,146
You reminded me
what skating was all about.

1277
01:01:00,146 --> 01:01:01,938
- Winning?
- No!

1278
01:01:01,938 --> 01:01:03,896
Just kidding.

1279
01:01:03,896 --> 01:01:06,479
Do you think I should go
for the double on my first jump?

1280
01:01:06,479 --> 01:01:07,855
I think I've got it now.

1281
01:01:07,855 --> 01:01:10,438
Well, that's a decision
you need to make yourself,

1282
01:01:10,438 --> 01:01:12,938
but you have a lot more
skating ahead of you.

1283
01:01:12,938 --> 01:01:15,980
Maybe it's best to
push your limits, you know,

1284
01:01:15,980 --> 01:01:17,688
not all at once.

1285
01:01:17,688 --> 01:01:19,479
I think I could probably do it,

1286
01:01:19,479 --> 01:01:22,021
but maybe I'll stick with
the single for now.

1287
01:01:22,021 --> 01:01:25,062
You know, I wish I was as
smart as you when I was a kid.

1288
01:01:25,062 --> 01:01:26,563
You're gonna be a champion.

1289
01:01:26,563 --> 01:01:29,021
If you stay in Greenhill,
you could be a champion's coach!

1290
01:01:29,021 --> 01:01:32,312
That's almost as good.

1291
01:01:32,312 --> 01:01:34,229
Morning, Lori.

1292
01:01:34,229 --> 01:01:35,438
How are you today?

1293
01:01:35,438 --> 01:01:37,521
Fine, thanks.

1294
01:01:37,521 --> 01:01:38,563
It's a really good turnout.

1295
01:01:38,563 --> 01:01:41,062
Yeah. Yeah, of course.

1296
01:01:41,062 --> 01:01:42,396
Everybody loves the Palace.

1297
01:01:42,396 --> 01:01:44,146
And the tournament.

1298
01:01:44,146 --> 01:01:46,438
Tournament skaters,
please check in with the judges.

1299
01:01:46,438 --> 01:01:48,396
Skaters to the judge box, please.

1300
01:01:48,396 --> 01:01:50,312
Okay, you got this.

1301
01:01:50,312 --> 01:01:51,646
The ice is all yours.

1302
01:01:51,646 --> 01:01:53,855
You're not competing
against anybody but yourself.

1303
01:01:53,855 --> 01:01:57,438
Make it count,
stay focused, and have fun.

1304
01:01:57,438 --> 01:01:59,688
That's the most important part.

1305
01:01:59,688 --> 01:02:00,771
See you after?

1306
01:02:00,771 --> 01:02:02,771
Yes, I'll be here.

1307
01:02:02,771 --> 01:02:05,229
Aww.

1308
01:02:05,229 --> 01:02:08,062
- Okay, you ready?
- Yeah.

1309
01:02:08,062 --> 01:02:10,563
You show those judges what
the Johnsons are made of, okay?

1310
01:02:10,563 --> 01:02:12,187
Okay.

1311
01:02:12,187 --> 01:02:14,312
You're gonna do great.

1312
01:02:18,021 --> 01:02:20,396
I wanted to return these.

1313
01:02:20,396 --> 01:02:23,438
Thank you
for loaning them to me.

1314
01:02:23,438 --> 01:02:25,146
Look, why don't you
keep them, okay?

1315
01:02:25,146 --> 01:02:27,354
Maybe you'll find
somewhere to skate in Chicago.

1316
01:02:27,354 --> 01:02:29,938
I'll just have them sharpened
and you can pick them up after.

1317
01:02:29,938 --> 01:02:31,563
Thanks.

1318
01:02:32,980 --> 01:02:34,521
I should probably find a seat.

1319
01:02:34,521 --> 01:02:36,354
All the die-hards
got here over an hour ago.

1320
01:04:04,021 --> 01:04:05,896
Hmm...

1321
01:04:26,104 --> 01:04:27,604
Okay, pack it up.

1322
01:04:27,604 --> 01:04:29,563
We're leaving.

1323
01:04:29,563 --> 01:04:30,646
What are you talking about?

1324
01:04:30,646 --> 01:04:32,229
Gary's isn't even open
for hours.

1325
01:04:32,229 --> 01:04:33,479
I got tons of work to do.

1326
01:04:33,479 --> 01:04:35,271
Not today, you don't.

1327
01:04:35,271 --> 01:04:36,646
Tonight's the ball.

1328
01:04:36,646 --> 01:04:39,271
And I, uh, got a hair
appointment I gotta get to,

1329
01:04:39,271 --> 01:04:41,604
and you gotta go home
and get ready.

1330
01:04:41,604 --> 01:04:43,271
The ball?

1331
01:04:43,271 --> 01:04:46,312
What are you talking about?
I'm not going to the ball.

1332
01:04:46,312 --> 01:04:47,855
Yes, you are.

1333
01:04:47,855 --> 01:04:49,730
With me.

1334
01:04:49,730 --> 01:04:51,521
I'm taking you.

1335
01:04:51,521 --> 01:04:52,896
You are my date.

1336
01:04:52,896 --> 01:04:54,396
Ha-ha!

1337
01:04:58,271 --> 01:05:00,521
This is where you say,
"Thanks, Jen!

1338
01:05:00,521 --> 01:05:02,813
"What a wonderful idea!"

1339
01:05:07,980 --> 01:05:09,604
Thanks, Jen.

1340
01:05:09,604 --> 01:05:11,021
What a wonderful idea.

1341
01:05:12,146 --> 01:05:13,896
Ha! Great.

1342
01:05:13,896 --> 01:05:14,938
- Yeah.
- Perfect.

1343
01:05:14,938 --> 01:05:17,396
Okay, alright.
Okay, okay.

1344
01:05:17,396 --> 01:05:20,312
So, I'm-- this--
I'm gonna file this and then--

1345
01:05:20,312 --> 01:05:21,688
Easy!

1346
01:05:21,688 --> 01:05:23,479
And then, um, you just
do what you gotta do,

1347
01:05:23,479 --> 01:05:24,604
and then we'll go!

1348
01:05:24,604 --> 01:05:26,021
Yeah, yeah, I just
need a minute.

1349
01:05:26,021 --> 01:05:29,187
I just need a...
I just need one minute!

1350
01:05:29,187 --> 01:05:30,604
Yes.

1351
01:05:33,312 --> 01:05:35,271
Ooh!

1352
01:05:42,479 --> 01:05:43,938
Oh, this is weird.

1353
01:05:43,938 --> 01:05:45,855
Come look.

1354
01:05:49,187 --> 01:05:50,646
Look.

1355
01:05:55,312 --> 01:05:56,771
Yeah, this is just the--

1356
01:05:56,771 --> 01:05:58,354
you know,
the first set of plans,

1357
01:05:58,354 --> 01:06:01,521
the original design,
for the revamped Ice Palace.

1358
01:06:03,980 --> 01:06:08,062
And this is the deed
for the land that Chad bought

1359
01:06:08,062 --> 01:06:09,938
out on the highway
for the new arena.

1360
01:06:09,938 --> 01:06:11,312
Huh.

1361
01:06:12,896 --> 01:06:15,646
Hang on a second.

1362
01:06:15,646 --> 01:06:16,730
Something looks fishy.

1363
01:06:16,730 --> 01:06:18,646
Can you grab me
the other blueprint?

1364
01:06:18,646 --> 01:06:20,438
Okay, but make it quick.

1365
01:06:35,271 --> 01:06:37,771
You trying to make
an escape without me?

1366
01:06:37,771 --> 01:06:39,062
Just kidding.

1367
01:06:39,062 --> 01:06:40,438
Congratulations on your story.

1368
01:06:40,438 --> 01:06:41,813
I thought it was superb.

1369
01:06:41,813 --> 01:06:44,396
Uh, thanks.
Some mixed reviews.

1370
01:06:44,396 --> 01:06:46,479
Eh, I knew you'd
see things the right way.

1371
01:06:46,479 --> 01:06:50,021
If by "right way"
you mean both sides, then sure.

1372
01:06:50,021 --> 01:06:52,187
I'm glad our interests
have finally aligned.

1373
01:06:53,521 --> 01:06:55,312
So, uh, what time
should I pick you up?

1374
01:06:55,312 --> 01:06:57,146
Pick me up?

1375
01:06:57,146 --> 01:06:58,646
For the ball.

1376
01:06:58,646 --> 01:07:00,688
You know, us city folk
should stick together.

1377
01:07:00,688 --> 01:07:03,813
Uh, no, sorry, I'm not going.

1378
01:07:03,813 --> 01:07:06,104
But thanks for asking.

1379
01:07:06,104 --> 01:07:08,062
Really?
Are you... are you sure?

1380
01:07:08,062 --> 01:07:10,104
Oh, you have other plans.

1381
01:07:10,104 --> 01:07:12,980
No, it's just not why I'm here.

1382
01:07:12,980 --> 01:07:14,730
Our next skater
is from right here

1383
01:07:14,730 --> 01:07:16,146
in Greenhill, Michigan.

1384
01:07:16,146 --> 01:07:17,771
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Zoe Johnson!

1385
01:07:17,771 --> 01:07:19,229
Excuse me.

1386
01:07:19,229 --> 01:07:21,354
I need to see this one.

1387
01:07:21,354 --> 01:07:23,104
Aren't you judging?

1388
01:07:25,104 --> 01:07:27,855
After the first
dozen, they're all the same...

1389
01:07:35,271 --> 01:07:36,938
Let's go, sweetie!

1390
01:07:48,104 --> 01:07:49,563
You got this!

1391
01:07:55,813 --> 01:07:59,479
<i>♪ I've been knocked down
over and over again ♪</i>

1404

Yes!

1405
01:09:01,730 --> 01:09:04,771
I'm so proud of you!
Yes!

1406
01:09:04,771 --> 01:09:06,438
- Hey!
- Hey!

1407
01:09:08,730 --> 01:09:09,980
I made it on the podium, look!

1408
01:09:09,980 --> 01:09:12,104
I know!
I'm so proud of you.

1409
01:09:12,104 --> 01:09:13,771
Congratulations.

1410
01:09:13,771 --> 01:09:15,771
I think it really comes down
to the coaching.

1411
01:09:21,771 --> 01:09:24,104
Hey.

1412
01:09:24,104 --> 01:09:26,813
Look, um...

1413
01:09:26,813 --> 01:09:28,604
I'm sorry for
how I reacted, okay?

1414
01:09:28,604 --> 01:09:30,187
It wasn't fair.

1415
01:09:30,187 --> 01:09:32,062
I just...

1416
01:09:32,062 --> 01:09:34,855
I mean, I was kind of shocked.
I had no idea you felt that way.

1417
01:09:34,855 --> 01:09:36,271
I know. I'm so sorry.

1418
01:09:36,271 --> 01:09:38,813
I should have warned you
before it went live.

1419
01:09:38,813 --> 01:09:41,146
I honestly wasn't sure
until I got the story together.

1420
01:09:41,146 --> 01:09:44,855
I mean, you made
some good points.

1421
01:09:44,855 --> 01:09:46,771
But I am gonna keep fighting
for this community

1422
01:09:46,771 --> 01:09:49,813
and our traditions.

1423
01:09:49,813 --> 01:09:52,730
But on the other hand,
I am going to work on being

1424
01:09:52,730 --> 01:09:54,980
open to new things as well.

1425
01:09:54,980 --> 01:09:58,104
Yeah, me too.

1426
01:09:58,104 --> 01:10:00,813
- You should go celebrate.
- Yeah.

1427
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,438
- How did the tournament go?
- Great.

1428
01:10:19,438 --> 01:10:20,855
Went off without a hitch.

1429
01:10:20,855 --> 01:10:21,980
Zoe got a medal.

1430
01:10:21,980 --> 01:10:23,771
Fantastic.

1431
01:10:23,771 --> 01:10:25,396
- So...?
- So...?

1432
01:10:25,396 --> 01:10:27,521
Are you gonna stay for the ball?

1433
01:10:27,521 --> 01:10:30,438
No, I, uh... I think
it's time for me to go home.

1434
01:10:30,438 --> 01:10:31,896
I booked the 2:30 train.

1435
01:10:31,896 --> 01:10:33,980
But I truly had
a wonderful stay.

1436
01:10:33,980 --> 01:10:35,438
Well, hopefully
we'll see you again real soon.

1437
01:10:35,438 --> 01:10:37,646
Oh, you better get moving!

1438
01:10:37,646 --> 01:10:39,396
I know. It's a little
late for me to walk.

1439
01:10:39,396 --> 01:10:40,730
Do you mind calling me a taxi?

1440
01:10:40,730 --> 01:10:42,396
Sure thing!

1441
01:10:43,688 --> 01:10:46,730
Greenhill Guest House,
Ronald speaking.

1442
01:10:46,730 --> 01:10:48,938
Oh, okay. Thank you.

1443
01:10:48,938 --> 01:10:50,229
Hi!

1444
01:10:50,229 --> 01:10:51,521
What are you still doing here?

1445
01:10:51,521 --> 01:10:53,271
Shouldn't you be
getting ready for the ball?

1446
01:10:53,271 --> 01:10:54,813
Well, actually,
I think I'm just gonna

1447
01:10:54,813 --> 01:10:56,730
- stay in with Zoe tonight.
- Just as well.

1448
01:10:56,730 --> 01:10:59,896
You always did
have two left feet.

1449
01:10:59,896 --> 01:11:03,604
If you must know,
I just can't stand the thought

1450
01:11:03,604 --> 01:11:05,271
that it might be the last one.

1451
01:11:05,271 --> 01:11:08,354
Well, if it really is
the last ball at the Ice Palace,

1452
01:11:08,354 --> 01:11:11,021
why not enjoy it?

1453
01:11:11,021 --> 01:11:13,688
If that story
was just work for Lori,

1454
01:11:13,688 --> 01:11:16,563
she wouldn't have
still been here this morning.

1455
01:11:16,563 --> 01:11:18,104
Oh, please.
She just showed up for Zoe.

1456
01:11:18,104 --> 01:11:19,730
Maybe.

1457
01:11:19,730 --> 01:11:22,646
But if you don't catch her now,
you'll never know for sure...

1458
01:11:24,938 --> 01:11:27,688
Zoe?

1459
01:11:27,688 --> 01:11:29,271
How would you feel
about staying over

1460
01:11:29,271 --> 01:11:30,855
at Grandma
and Grandpa's tonight?

1461
01:11:30,855 --> 01:11:32,229
Does this mean
you're going to the ball?

1462
01:11:32,229 --> 01:11:34,396
With Lori?!

1463
01:11:34,396 --> 01:11:36,312
I don't know.

1464
01:11:36,312 --> 01:11:37,938
I mean, how would I even...

1465
01:11:37,938 --> 01:11:40,396
Like, it's been so long.

1466
01:11:40,396 --> 01:11:42,438
Yes,
it's been such a long time.

1467
01:11:42,438 --> 01:11:44,730
Maybe you could think about it
while you're running.

1468
01:11:44,730 --> 01:11:46,813
- What?
- She's already packing.

1469
01:11:46,813 --> 01:11:48,521
I'll look after Zoe, you go.

1470
01:11:48,521 --> 01:11:51,062
- What, like right now?
- Yes!

1471
01:11:51,062 --> 01:11:54,187
Okay...

1472
01:11:54,187 --> 01:11:56,479
Uh, but--

1473
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,229
Run!

1474
01:12:08,021 --> 01:12:09,479
We need to talk.

1475
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,938
Aren't you going to the ball?

1476
01:12:11,938 --> 01:12:13,646
No, I'm going to Chicago.

1477
01:12:13,646 --> 01:12:15,062
Okay, we'll talk
about that after.

1478
01:12:15,062 --> 01:12:17,062
- This is important.
- You need to see this.

1479
01:12:17,062 --> 01:12:19,396
Look. Chad's original plan
for the development.

1480
01:12:19,396 --> 01:12:21,563
This design incorporates
a renovated Ice Palace

1481
01:12:21,563 --> 01:12:23,354
and more community space.

1482
01:12:23,354 --> 01:12:24,980
It's what Mark always wanted!

1483
01:12:24,980 --> 01:12:27,062
There's no shopping,
there's no parking, no condos.

1484
01:12:27,062 --> 01:12:28,730
So why didn't
the town go for it?

1485
01:12:28,730 --> 01:12:30,438
Well, Chad inflated the costs
and made the renovation

1486
01:12:30,438 --> 01:12:31,813
look too expensive.

1487
01:12:31,813 --> 01:12:33,563
And then he pitched
the alternative:

1488
01:12:33,563 --> 01:12:34,896
the more lucrative
condo development

1489
01:12:34,896 --> 01:12:36,771
along with the arena
out by the highway.

1490
01:12:36,771 --> 01:12:38,563
On land that Reynolds and
Reynolds already purchased!

1491
01:12:38,563 --> 01:12:40,146
Except he didn't!

1492
01:12:40,146 --> 01:12:41,271
He didn't what?

1493
01:12:43,604 --> 01:12:45,438
- So this means--
- Exactly!

1494
01:12:45,438 --> 01:12:47,730
- So he can't--
- He never intended to.

1495
01:12:47,730 --> 01:12:50,438
But when the clock strikes 12--

1496
01:12:50,438 --> 01:12:52,438
Yes!

1497
01:12:52,438 --> 01:12:55,146
We need to talk
to the Mayor and to Mark.

1498
01:12:55,146 --> 01:12:57,062
To the Batmobile!

1499
01:12:59,438 --> 01:13:00,479
Sorry.

1500
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,104
Seemed appropriate.

1501
01:13:02,104 --> 01:13:05,146
- Okay, let's go, let's go!
- Just go, just go!

1502
01:13:05,146 --> 01:13:06,062
Woop!

1503
01:13:08,312 --> 01:13:09,604
Ronald!

1504
01:13:09,604 --> 01:13:11,604
I need to...
talk to Lori!

1505
01:13:11,604 --> 01:13:14,354
Oh, you missed her.

1506
01:13:14,354 --> 01:13:17,146
Really?

1507
01:13:23,938 --> 01:13:25,938
Let her-- Oof!

1508
01:13:28,438 --> 01:13:30,896
Okay, um...

1509
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,146
We're looking for Mark!
Have you seen him?

1510
01:13:35,146 --> 01:13:36,271
Isn't he with you?

1511
01:13:36,271 --> 01:13:38,104
He just went to chase you down.

1512
01:13:38,104 --> 01:13:39,730
- Really? Why?
- Focus, focus!

1513
01:13:39,730 --> 01:13:41,271
Okay, uh, there's
a huge problem

1514
01:13:41,271 --> 01:13:42,688
with the development proposal

1515
01:13:42,688 --> 01:13:44,479
and we need to do something
about it before midnight.

1516
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:45,813
And if
the deadline passes,

1517
01:13:45,813 --> 01:13:47,062
then the Reynolds and Reynolds bid

1518
01:13:47,062 --> 01:13:48,563
is gonna be automatically
certified.

1519
01:13:48,563 --> 01:13:50,563
But it's the only
qualifying bid we have.

1520
01:13:50,563 --> 01:13:52,479
- But it's a fraud!
- And there might be

1521
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:54,229
something we can do
to save the Ice Palace.

1522
01:13:54,229 --> 01:13:55,396
Okay, okay.

1523
01:13:55,396 --> 01:13:57,146
If there's really
something that we can do,

1524
01:13:57,146 --> 01:13:59,229
then you have my attention.

1525
01:13:59,229 --> 01:14:02,396
Let's just all...

1526
01:14:02,396 --> 01:14:05,646
calm... down.
Good.

1527
01:14:05,646 --> 01:14:07,438
First things first.

1528
01:14:07,438 --> 01:14:09,563
Jen, you need to keep
your hair appointment.

1529
01:14:09,563 --> 01:14:11,021
Take my car.

1530
01:14:11,021 --> 01:14:13,146
Zoe's in it
and she's got the keys.

1531
01:14:13,146 --> 01:14:14,855
Now, this town
has waited long enough

1532
01:14:14,855 --> 01:14:16,855
for you two to get it together.

1533
01:14:16,855 --> 01:14:19,438
You will not be making
your long-awaited debut

1534
01:14:19,438 --> 01:14:20,563
looking like...

1535
01:14:20,563 --> 01:14:22,062
ragamuffins.

1536
01:14:22,062 --> 01:14:24,396
- How did you--
- I know everything.

1537
01:14:24,396 --> 01:14:25,938
Just go.

1538
01:14:25,938 --> 01:14:28,062
Drop Zoe at the Johnsons'.

1539
01:14:28,062 --> 01:14:30,146
Marjorie is expecting her.

1540
01:14:30,146 --> 01:14:31,604
Scoot!

1541
01:14:34,354 --> 01:14:37,062
Now, just give me
a minute to call Ron.

1542
01:14:37,062 --> 01:14:38,646
Ron?

1543
01:14:38,646 --> 01:14:40,521
As in Guest House Ron?

1544
01:14:40,521 --> 01:14:43,229
As in "my house" Ron.

1545
01:14:43,229 --> 01:14:45,563
He's my husband!

1546
01:14:45,563 --> 01:14:48,229
I hope you have a suit,
young man, a nice one.

1547
01:14:48,229 --> 01:14:49,771
And iron your shirt.

1548
01:14:49,771 --> 01:14:51,855
It really only takes
a couple of minutes

1549
01:14:51,855 --> 01:14:54,646
and it makes
a world of difference.

1550
01:14:54,646 --> 01:14:55,813
Oh...

1551
01:14:55,813 --> 01:14:57,563
what about you?

1552
01:14:57,563 --> 01:14:59,354
What about me?

1553
01:14:59,354 --> 01:15:02,021
Diane's home from college.
She's my daughter.

1554
01:15:02,021 --> 01:15:03,730
She'll find you
something to wear!

1555
01:15:03,730 --> 01:15:05,813
- Oh, no, I'm not going--
- Shh!

1556
01:15:07,438 --> 01:15:09,312
Hi, it's me.

1557
01:15:11,938 --> 01:15:14,062
Well, I'm glad
that you changed your mind

1558
01:15:14,062 --> 01:15:15,688
about going to the ball.

1559
01:15:15,688 --> 01:15:18,813
It would be such a shame
for you to miss it.

1560
01:15:18,813 --> 01:15:20,813
Well, I was gonna go.

1561
01:15:20,813 --> 01:15:22,438
When I thought I had a date.

1562
01:15:22,438 --> 01:15:26,271
You don't need a date
to show up for your community,

1563
01:15:26,271 --> 01:15:29,271
to thank them for all the help
and the support

1564
01:15:29,271 --> 01:15:30,980
that they've given you and Zoe

1565
01:15:30,980 --> 01:15:33,938
and the Ice Palace
all these years.

1566
01:15:33,938 --> 01:15:36,229
You're right.

1567
01:15:36,229 --> 01:15:38,021
Of course you're right.

1568
01:15:38,021 --> 01:15:39,146
Will I see you there?

1569
01:15:39,146 --> 01:15:40,438
Oh, absolutely.

1570
01:15:40,438 --> 01:15:41,771
It's Christmas Eve!

1571
01:15:41,771 --> 01:15:42,896
Ha!

1572
01:15:42,896 --> 01:15:44,855
Well, that's taken care of.

1573
01:15:44,855 --> 01:15:47,730
Now, Tyler,
we'll go in your car,

1574
01:15:47,730 --> 01:15:52,187
and you can take us to my house,
and you can explain on the way.

1575
01:15:52,187 --> 01:15:54,479
To the Batmobile!

1576
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:55,563
Oh, wait!

1577
01:15:55,563 --> 01:15:57,813
I have an idea.

1578
01:15:57,813 --> 01:15:59,312
Do you have Chad's number?

1579
01:15:59,312 --> 01:16:00,980
- Why?
- Why?

1580
01:16:00,980 --> 01:16:02,563
Well, I'm going to the ball...

1581
01:16:02,563 --> 01:16:04,271
I'm gonna need a date!

1592
01:16:58,730 --> 01:17:01,563
I'm so glad
you changed your mind.

1593
01:17:03,396 --> 01:17:04,563
I wouldn't say that...

1594
01:17:04,563 --> 01:17:06,021
Do you wanna mingle?

1595
01:17:06,021 --> 01:17:08,896
I invited some potential
investors for my next project.

1596
01:17:08,896 --> 01:17:11,312
I'm getting into casinos.

1597
01:17:11,312 --> 01:17:13,271
You and I are gonna do
good things for each other

1598
01:17:13,271 --> 01:17:15,021
back in Chicago.

1599
01:17:15,021 --> 01:17:16,604
Have you seen Mark?

1600
01:17:16,604 --> 01:17:17,855
No.

1601
01:17:17,855 --> 01:17:19,104
I thought you wanted
to meet me here?

1602
01:17:19,104 --> 01:17:21,980
I did. I have, um...

1603
01:17:21,980 --> 01:17:23,688
Let's go find Mark.

1606
01:17:55,896 --> 01:17:58,730
What are you doing here?!

1607
01:17:58,730 --> 01:18:00,980
Bonsoir, mon ami magnifique!

1608
01:18:00,980 --> 01:18:03,104
Bienvenue à gay Par-is!

1609
01:18:03,104 --> 01:18:04,771
But, but how?

1610
01:18:04,771 --> 01:18:07,104
Oh, I thought you needed
some in-person support.

1611
01:18:07,104 --> 01:18:10,021
And we got
a little cabin in the woods!

1612
01:18:10,021 --> 01:18:12,438
Very L.L. Bean...

1613
01:18:12,438 --> 01:18:14,855
Oh, we also got all the
Christmas fixings for tomorrow.

1614
01:18:14,855 --> 01:18:17,521
Hmm? Maxine's here, too.

1615
01:18:17,521 --> 01:18:19,730
- Really?
- Eh, no.

1616
01:18:19,730 --> 01:18:23,146
But she did mention you weren't
so hot on the big job, hmm?

1617
01:18:23,146 --> 01:18:25,104
I'm thinking about
going freelance.

1618
01:18:25,104 --> 01:18:28,604
You know, pick my own stories,
work from wherever I want.

1619
01:18:28,604 --> 01:18:30,688
I have so much to tell you,
but later.

1620
01:18:30,688 --> 01:18:31,896
I have to find someone
right now.

1621
01:18:31,896 --> 01:18:35,021
Uh, is this, uh, Mark?

1622
01:18:35,021 --> 01:18:36,104
Where?

1623
01:18:36,104 --> 01:18:38,271
- I'm Chad Reynolds.
- Oh, you're...

1624
01:18:38,271 --> 01:18:41,062
No.
Obviously not.

1625
01:18:41,062 --> 01:18:43,563
What?

1626
01:18:47,146 --> 01:18:48,563
Here, take this.

1627
01:18:48,563 --> 01:18:51,521
This champagne's terrible.

1628
01:18:51,521 --> 01:18:53,104
Hmph!

1629

<i>♪ So bring it out here ♪</i>

1631
01:19:00,438 --> 01:19:02,146
I've been looking
everywhere for you.

1632
01:19:04,146 --> 01:19:05,646
Wow, you look--

1633
01:19:05,646 --> 01:19:07,187
You're...

1634
01:19:07,187 --> 01:19:08,813
You look amazing.

1635
01:19:08,813 --> 01:19:10,730
You look pretty good yourself.

1636
01:19:13,062 --> 01:19:14,354
What's he doing here?

1637
01:19:14,354 --> 01:19:16,021
Chad!

1638
01:19:16,021 --> 01:19:19,730
So glad you could make it!

1639
01:19:19,730 --> 01:19:22,479
Uh...?

1640
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,104
You need to see this.

1641
01:19:24,104 --> 01:19:25,354
Okay...

1642
01:19:28,021 --> 01:19:30,771
This is Mr. Reynolds' original
plan for the redevelopment

1643
01:19:30,771 --> 01:19:32,771
of the Ice Palace.

1644
01:19:32,771 --> 01:19:35,354
And this design includes
a brand-new Ice Palace

1645
01:19:35,354 --> 01:19:37,479
right here where
the current one stands.

1646
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:39,855
That's not mine; I've never
seen this before in my life!

1647
01:19:39,855 --> 01:19:41,479
This is none of your business.

1648
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:44,229
Hang on, this is the one that I
supported right from the start.

1649
01:19:44,229 --> 01:19:46,646
Mr. Reynolds realized
he could make a lot more money

1650
01:19:46,646 --> 01:19:48,438
if he got rid
of the rink completely.

1651
01:19:48,438 --> 01:19:50,521
He promised town council
that he'd build

1652
01:19:50,521 --> 01:19:52,771
a brand-new arena
on the outskirts of town

1653
01:19:52,771 --> 01:19:54,688
on land he bought
for that purpose.

1654
01:19:54,688 --> 01:19:58,062
And lease it back to us
at a reasonable rate.

1655
01:19:58,062 --> 01:20:00,771
Then he hired me
to do the new design,

1656
01:20:00,771 --> 01:20:03,688
with the shopping
and the condo complex.

1657
01:20:03,688 --> 01:20:07,187
This right here
is a deed of ownership

1658
01:20:07,187 --> 01:20:09,062
indicating that
Reynolds and Reynolds

1659
01:20:09,062 --> 01:20:11,563
owns a huge parcel of land
out by the highway.

1660
01:20:11,563 --> 01:20:12,771
But it's fake.

1661
01:20:12,771 --> 01:20:14,104
Counterfeit.

1662
01:20:14,104 --> 01:20:16,688
But by the time
we would have realized that,

1663
01:20:16,688 --> 01:20:19,021
he would have
destroyed the Ice Palace

1664
01:20:19,021 --> 01:20:21,312
and started
his new construction.

1665
01:20:21,312 --> 01:20:23,604
You lied to me, Mr. Reynolds,

1666
01:20:23,604 --> 01:20:27,271
and you tried to pull
a fast one on our community.

1667
01:20:27,271 --> 01:20:31,062
Your permissions are revoked
and your proposal is cancelled.

1668
01:20:31,062 --> 01:20:33,354
And I've already reported
you and your company

1669
01:20:33,354 --> 01:20:34,771
to the state authorities.

1670
01:20:34,771 --> 01:20:37,062
You wasted
our time and our money,

1671
01:20:37,062 --> 01:20:40,396
and you can expect
a huge legal action.

1672
01:20:40,396 --> 01:20:41,688
This is all your fault,

1673
01:20:41,688 --> 01:20:43,021
you and your
stupid little story!

1674
01:20:43,021 --> 01:20:44,062
Oh!

1675
01:20:44,062 --> 01:20:45,312
You can't do this.

1676
01:20:45,312 --> 01:20:47,646
I'll sue.
My lawyers will bury you alive.

1677
01:20:47,646 --> 01:20:48,980
Ha, I don't think so!

1678
01:20:48,980 --> 01:20:51,688
We've just signed a retainer
with Michigan's finest

1679
01:20:51,688 --> 01:20:54,438
retired solicitor-general.

1680
01:20:54,438 --> 01:20:55,938
Pro bono!

1681
01:20:57,938 --> 01:20:59,771
Outta my way.

1682
01:20:59,771 --> 01:21:03,813
Oh, I am so sorry
about this, Mark.

1683
01:21:03,813 --> 01:21:06,938
Unfortunately, the lease
still expires at midnight.

1684
01:21:06,938 --> 01:21:10,271
Without secured funding,
I don't think there's anything

1685
01:21:10,271 --> 01:21:13,479
we can do to stop the building
from being condemned.

1686
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,730
But we've still got tonight, right?

1687
01:21:15,730 --> 01:21:17,146
Yeah, of course we do.

1688
01:21:17,146 --> 01:21:19,688
You still have all year
to come up with a new plan

1689
01:21:19,688 --> 01:21:21,146
for next Christmas.

1690
01:21:21,146 --> 01:21:23,354
Well, actually,
I've got some news, too.

1691
01:21:23,354 --> 01:21:25,896
I just got an email
from the investors in Chicago.

1692
01:21:25,896 --> 01:21:30,021
They want to finance and
franchise my SkateFit program.

1693
01:21:30,021 --> 01:21:32,021
So we can renew your lease!

1694
01:21:32,021 --> 01:21:34,479
So why don't we celebrate
the best Christmas

1695
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,521

- Yes!

1696

01:21:39,187 --> 01:21:40,688
