'Cause got the auditions tomorrow and...

Oh my god, are gonna propose--

- Break up with you.

- [Kelly] What?

- I'm sorry.

- You're serious?

- This just isn't for you.

- Well, Ben, what does that even mean?

- Kell, I haven't seen you in two weeks.

Two weeks!

- Yeah I-- - That's not a relationship.

- Because I've been working.

- Yeah, I know.

Trust me, I know.

- Look, we've been through this.

- Many times and you've clearly laid out

what's important for you.

Your awards, your clients. - No.

- Your coworkers.

I'm not on that list.

And I am done trying to be.

- Look Ben, listen, I can--

- What, what, work less?

No Kell, I don't want you to change who you are for me.

That's not fair to you and it's not fair to me.

Like I said, this, it's just not for you.

(sighs)

- Wow. (phone chimes)

(horn honks)

- Hey, why don't you take this one, huh?

- Look, Ben, just take it.

I don't wanna ruin your perfect Ryde rating

by being a hysterical mess.

So just.

Ben just please go.

(gentle music)

(scoffs)

(determined music)

(scoffs)

(twinkling)

- [Santa] Kelly, Kelly Hartwick?

- Hey.

I'm sorry, I forgot your name.

- Well that's never happened before.

Can I sit down?

It's my busy season and I gotta rest the old legs.

- Course.

- Oh congratulations.

- Oh thank you.

- It's a great spot.

- Oh you, you were great in it.

We're actually, we're doing a follow up one to it.

And well, it's not so great.

Yeah.

- Oh well, here's my updated headshot.

- That's, I mean that's okay, I have it on file.

- Well maybe, but this one's better.

- Okay.

Wow.

You had that handy.

(happy music)

(twinkling)

- There's a beautiful world in front of you, Kelly.

If you're not careful, it'll pass you by.

(thoughtful music)

- I love Christmas too.

Do you wanna know why I love it so much?

Family, friends,

giving back to your fellow man, right?

- End of the year, end of the 4th quarter,

bonus season, and with you as my secret santa,

finding me every single possible loophole imaginable,

you're worth your weight in gold, kid.

- Well thank you.

- You're single.

- I'm sorry, what?

- I noticed your Irish ring.

The heart's facing out.

- Oh, yeah, actually I am.

- I prefer my financial advisors

have committed long term relationships.

It shows stability.

- I wouldn't worry about that.

If you ask anybody here, I'm the kinda guy

once I dive into something,

whether it's a workout regimen or a client, I'm all in.

- That's great to hear.

Keep up the great work, Chris.

- Thanks for coming by.

- Nice to see you here past seven.

- Yeah well I was just--

- You're doing a great job, Chris.

Clients love ya, we love ya.

The janitor loves, he cleans your office three times a day.

- Alfonso yeah.

- Yeah, it's weird, I gotta look into that.

- Listen the point is we're gonna miss you

in the Pacific Northwest.

- Okay sorry, I'm not really following you.

- Congratulations, partner.

- Wow!

You serious?

- Yeah, yeah, just two months shy of setting a record

for fastest associate to make partner.

- What, sorry, just rewind it for a second,

'cause you said something about missing me.

So how does that, what does that have to do with this?

- Here's the bonus.

The office is our California office.

- California.

- Is that problem?

- I'm going to California?

- 'Cause I just thought you'd jump at the chance

'cause you're like super alone here.

No, I mean on offense.

- No, it's all good.

That's fine.

So when would I be starting exactly?

- Right after the holidays.

- That soon. - That soon.

- Just like that. - Just like that.

Drink some egg nog, say hi to Santa.

- Bang. - Bang, on a plane.

Say goodbye rain, say hello sun.

(chuckling)

Congratulations.

- Thanks. - You earned this Chris.

- Yes.

- Good job.

- California.

(playfully suspenseful music)

What just happened?

(playful music)

- Yikes.

Oh wow, wow.

Francis these auditions, they are terrible.

Why didn't you use version four?

- We did.

- No you didn't.

- Why weren't you at the audition?

- Don't even get me started on that.

I told you I needed a day. Why didn't you use version four.

- Jillian? - Yeah.

- Hey, what version of the audition script did we use?

- Three.

- See?

Told you so.

How many times did I say use version four?

I can call Ben, I bet he counted,

that's probably why he dumped me.

- Kelly.

- (groans) I can't believe you used version three.

You went with all that love at first sight crap.

Hey, listen, I know that I've been

a little rough around the edges the last couple days.

- I saw the auditions.

They were terrible.

- I know, they used version three.

- Version four isn't much better.

- LooK, I'm gonna work it out, okay?

- I look forward to seeing version five.

- Okay.

- Hey, let's go check out that new Irish bar.

Celebrate your partnership.

- Oh man, no I'm good, but have fun.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

(thoughtful music)

- Hey Kelly, I'm checking out

that new Irish bar Bailey's later, you wanna come?

- No, I gotta rework this pitch.

Have fun!

Hey Dad, thanks for the call congratulating me on my award.

I only need two more and then we're tied.

(laughs)

'Kay, love you, give me a call.

(both exclaiming)

- Oh, oh I'm sorry.

That was totally my fault.

I apologize.

Sorry.

- No, that was me.

I just, oh I'm sorry.

- What's your?

What's your name?

Sorry.

- I'm, I'm Kelly.

I can't hear you.

- Your name?

(phone chimes)

(horn honks)

- I know.

Oh I gotta go.

(energetic music)

(phone chimes)

(melancholy music)

What is this?

George Bailey figured it out, so will you.

For days gone by the clock is ticking.

And that means...

George Bailey.

Wow.

George Bailey is the protagonist

of the 1946 movie "It's a Wonderful Life".

Hmm.

And that has to do with?

Call Jills.

Hey, did you say you were going to Bailey's?

(thoughtful music)

("Joy to the World")

(peppy music)

Jillian!

- Hi, hey.

I got you a beer, I hope that's okay.

- Thank you.

Did you notice the logo?

- I did.

Very Irish.

Not unlike myself.

I am so glad you came out tonight.

- I know, me too.

It's been, it's been a hectic week to say the least.

- That's because you're working too hard, as usual.

- That's my thing.

- Kell?

Kelly! - Yeah.

- What you looking for?

- Have you seen a guy, he's tall,

he's got dark hair, he's got these beautiful blue eyes

and this killer smile.

- No.

Did you meet somebody?

- Okay, so I bumped into this guy on Pine Street.

- [Jillian] Okay.

- And our eyes locked and this like,

it's like the world stopped.

- Ugh, that's so romantic.

- I know.

I mean have you ever,

and I can't believe that I'm saying this,

but have you ever met someone and you knew that

you're like I wouldn't be complete without them.

- That's a line from your commercial.

- I know, I know.

But this time I actually mean it.

- Have you tried Missed Connections?

- Missed what?

- Missed Connections.

Oh my gosh, it's so sad and romantic

and almost kinda creepy sometimes.

But-- - Sounds lovely.

- But, people post things on there

about people they saw on the street or somewhere

in hopes of finding them.

- Oh. (gasps)

- Oh my gosh, it's a Christmissed connection.

And that's the title of your new campaign.

You're welcome.

(Kelly giggles)

- Okay so it's a site and ya--

- Yeah, no, I'll text you the link.

I can't believe you've never even heard of this.

I mean it's really popular.

- Jills, I will be right back.

- What?

- I just, I just need to talk to someone, okay?

- Well don't forget your coat.

- Thank you. - Um hmm.

- I knew you'd miss me.

Here you are.

- Hey, did you notice that the logo out there

is kinda like the same on this ring.

Did you notice that?

Is that me?

- I don't know, I didn't really look.

Quit playing with that.

You're gonna lose it.

- [Chris] Not gonna lose it.

- Oh there are some good looking girls in here.

- You know, it's the one track mind thing that you have

that worries me, I'm worried for you.

- What, are you all packed up or what, partner?

- No, no, not yet.

Not really.

I mean I'm just gonna,

I'm just gonna pack up my TV and my couch and--

- Okay.

- Listen, I gotta ask you a question.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

- I believe in love at first swipe.

Swipe right.

Hey, you should come over.

Eggplant emoji.

Sent.

- Hey, hey.

Santa.

- [Santa] Oh, hey Kelly.

- What are you doing here?

- Well I volunteer at the soup kitchen.

- Oh. - How are you?

You look much better than the last time we spoke.

What can I do for ya?

- Listen, I was just wondering,

what exactly did you mean by George Bailey and days gone by?

- Well it's a reference to "It's a Wonderful Life",

one of my favorite movies you know.

- Yeah, no I know,

but I mean I'm at Bailey's and you're outside Bailey's.

- Well I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence.

- Pretty sure? - Yep.

- Okay but the clock is still ticking.

- It always is.

- Right.

Okay well it was really great seeing you.

I gotta get home.

I've got so much work to do.

- Well we all need a little guidance, Kelly.

I mean I need Rudolph.

You find that thing that leads you to the light.

Don't let it go.

Don't turn an opportunity into regret.

And don't miss the chance of a lifetime.

- Rudolph?

- Reindeer.

- Yeah, I know, but.

- Oh, you should probably go.

- Yeah well, say hi to Rudolph.

("Joy to the World")

(bright music)

So what do I write?

- You've never asked me that before.

This is a lot of power.

(laughing)

I don't know Kells, just write about what he looks like,

where you saw him.

People will reply who think they're who you're looking for.

- Really? - Yeah.

- That's easy, right?

We ran into each other on Pine Street last Friday.

It's rush hour, we bumped into each other.

You were so sweet and apologized.

I tried to tell you my name, but you couldn't hear me.

You had the most beautiful eyes and warm smile.

And when our eyes met it felt like the whole world stopped

and it was just us.

I know you're out there somewhere.

If you feel the same, please contact me, KH.

Voila, what do you think?

- I like it.

Yeah, I love it, it's great.

- Yeah? Really?

- Yeah. - I mean,

do you think I'm gonna have any responses?

- Well I don't know, I don't see why you wouldn't.

(phone chimes)

Oh shoot, we're late for a status.

- What?

- Yeah. (Kelly growls)

- I'm supposed to be on time.

(frenzied music)

Have it? Thank you. - Yeah, I got it.

- Let's go.

Oh god, Claudia's gonna kill me.

- Missed Connections?

- Missed Connections, you've heard of it.

- Yeah, I use it.

I hear people talking about it all the time.

It just sounds stupid.

- Well I can always count on you for your positivity.

Thank you very much.

- Hey, at least I'm honest.

One outta two ain't bad.

- How else am I supposed to find her?

- Why do you wanna find her?

- Why do I wanna find her?

What kinda question is that?

- You're leaving.

What are you gonna do, hang out with her for three days?

- Yes.

- That's like what, hey I'm Chris.

I might be in love with you but I'm leaving to California.

You're not that kinda guy, Chris.

I'm that kinda guy.

Hey, news flash, women don't like that.

- Okay, I understand it's not rational,

but let me just throw this at you for consideration, okay?

- Okay.

- What if she happens to be from California, huh?

It's possible.

- Women from California don't move here.

What are the odds of that?

Honestly. - What are the odds of that?

One in 50.

You're an accountant, you should be able to figure that out.

- I don't know man.

- Are you gonna help me with this or not?

- Yeah, okay.

- Man, it's like pulling teeth from a stone with you.

- Why would a stone have teeth?

That makes no sense.

- It's a figure of speech.

- Okay from the top, where'd you guys meet?

- She was coming from here, I was coming from over here.

And we kinda just collided here.

We got up, we had like a moment and she walked off

and got into a car and she was gone.

- So...

- What do you think?

- I don't know, maybe she works around here

and she gets off at the same time.

- That's right, that's right, it's a possibility

because it was after work.

It was like 5:30ish, right?

So, she's probably coming from work.

- Right.

Come back tonight, same time.

- Sure.

You know what, I'll come back.

I'll try again tonight.

- Yeah, there you go, that sounds perfect.

Can we go to the bar now.

- Yeah, you've been a big help by the way.

- You're welcome.

("Silent Night")

(wind whistling eerily)

Find her?

- No.

What are you doing here?

- Being supportive.

You know this is borderline stalker behavior.

- Hey, you said this was a good idea.

- Also I tried to call you.

Surprise, surprise, you didn't charge your phone.

What's the matter with you?

(groans)

What's she look like?

- She's like five foot four.

- [Friend] Dark hair?

- [Chris] Yes.

- Like an auburn tint or like auburn hair?

- Yeah.

- Really cute but also looks like pretty smart too?

- Yeah. - Yeah she just walked by.

- What? - Other way.

By the corner. - Hey, hey!

- Do I have to come with you? I gotta come with you.

(tense music)

(playful music)

Oh, I'm outta shape.

You lose her?

- What do you think?

- Yeah, looks like you lost her.

You see what building she went into?

- What do you think?

- You would've gone into the building.

- 'Cause then I would've gone into the building

because I woulda seen where she went.

- Yeah, okay, that makes sense.

(bell jangling)

- Spare some change for the City Mission, boys?

- [Friend] Yeah, no.

- Sorry about my friend.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

We all need a little guidance, Chris.

You know I need Rudolph.

When you find that thing that lights your way,

don't let it go.

Don't turn an opportunity into a regret.

And don't lose the chance of a lifetime.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Rudolph, you know the reindeer.

Red blinking nose.

- Yeah, I know.

- Oh hey, did your check your Connections?

- No, I've been too busy.

- Kelly, check them.

- Probably don't have any.

How do I get there?

(phone dinging)

What?

- What?

- There's 100 connections.

100.

- That's awesome.

Okay, well I'm sure most of them are like ugh.

But--

- Yeah but still, I mean 100.

What am I gonna do with that?

- Well you go through that many e-mails a day.

Just apply that to this. - Ugh, I know, but it's still.

It's too overwhelming.

- Well you know Francis and I can help if you want.

- No.

It's fine. - Are you sure?

- You know what, maybe Ben's right.

Maybe this whole thing, it just, it isn't for me.

- Ben isn't right.

Kelly!

- See you tomorrow.

(thoughtful music)

No, no.

- [Santa] There's a beautiful world in front of you, Kelly.

If you're not careful it'll pass you by.

- Fine!

Okay.

(computer dinging)

200 now?

Okay. (sighs)

You got this, Kelly.

Wow.

So I changed my mind.

- [Jillian] About the Connections?

- Um hmm. - Good!

- I know, I know.

And I actually somehow managed to whittle the list down

to a few guys that might actually be him.

- Really?

How'd you do that?

- Well Jack in IT, he did something called a Bayesian test.

It's what e-mails use to filter through spam.

And anyways, it worked.

- So you're gonna meet some of them?

- I'm thinking maybe just video chat.

You know I don't wanna end up missing or worse.

- Yeah, that's fair.

We don't want that.

- [Chris] Why do I always lose at this game?

- [Friend] Well I don't know.

You not as good as I am.

So thank you, thank you.

- After you. - Thanks for the ride sir.

- All right, how you doing? - Hey.

(tense dramatic music)

(bell jangles)

(playfully suspenseful music)

(melancholy music)

It was a Friday night.

You looked cold.

I was cold too.

We crashed into each other.

You had a Claddagh ring.

I have a Claddagh ring.

We noticed.

You had dark brown hair, or maybe it was a different color.

The street lights can alter the hue.

(chuckles)

But you definitely weren't blond.

I'm looking for you.

I hope you're looking for me.

CK.

(sighs)

(playfully suspenseful music)

(sighs)

Well that went well.

Looking for you.

("Silent Night")

I've been looking for you.

That's not weird.

That's a little weird.

(bright music)

- Okay Kelly, you wanna go through the feedback

now or later?

Kells? - Yeah.

- The internal notes.

- I'm yeah, just a second.

Let me do.

I think I found him.

- Wait, the him?

- Yeah.

Okay so he said that he was on Pine Street

and that he saw me and he describes me perfectly.

- This is so romantic.

- I know.

Okay.

Hit me, feedback.

- Okay so Claudia wanted us to talk to the client.

- You did it, didn't you?

- Yeah. - Yes!

Any luck?

- Well I got 10 responses.

I think three of them are spam though.

- That's still good.

- Yeah? - That's great.

That's more than I've ever gotten to hear people get.

Whatever this is.

- It's double digits, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

That's good.

Anything promising?

- Well I don't know.

I'm gonna have lunch with one of them today, so.

- Oh, nice!

- Yeah. - Come on,

get 'em tiger.

- Thanks. - Let's see a picture.

- Yes, well that's the thing.

She didn't sent a picture.

So I'm not really sure.

- Are you trying to get catfish? She didn't send a picture?

- No, she didn't send a picture.

I didn't wanna ask 'cause I don't wanna feel too pushy

off the top.

- Feel pushy!

Pushy with pictures.

- Yeah. - Yes.

You don't know who this is.

You could be going out with my dad.

(bright music)

- Chris?

- Hey. - Hi.

- It's Nora.

- Hey!

- Hey.

Finally.

That night, my god.

I've thought about it every day since.

- Right.

That night.

- Um hmm.

- With all the.

- Orgasms?

- That's not what I thought you were gonna say.

- Um hmm.

You and Allen were amazing.

- Allen?

- Will he be joining us?

Please say yes? (giggles)

- I don't think I know you.

(playful music)

- Hi, Kelly?

It's Allen.

- Hey.

- Oh, no, there my be some mistake.

- Yeah, I think so too.

But hey, I mean listen, while you're here,

do you wanna grab a coffee?

- Uh no, I can't.

I'm on this mission to find this girl.

Never had a night quite like it.

- I get it.

Well listen, good luck.

Good luck, Allen.

Merry Christmas.

Ugh.

Okay.

Onwards.

Thank you.

- Yeah, I don't know, Kell.

Maybe you should just exchange photos next time.

- That would be a great idea.

- Um hmm.

- Anyways, I mean, I really hope he finds her.

He just seemed really, he seemed really smitten.

- Yeah well it's really nice for him.

- Yeah, well at least someone's happy.

I wonder what's going on over there.

- What?

What are you talking about?

That's your boss talking to your art director.

I'm sure they're talking about, I don't know,

art direction.

- Mmm, I don't know,

it looks like Claudia's up to something.

- Nope, you're paranoid.

Don't be.

We're fine.

- You're absolutely right.

All this Missed Connections stuff is just,

it's making me untrustworthy.

- Well do you have any other promising leads?

- Well there is this one guy, so.

- Um hmm.

- So I don't get it. She said orgasms.

And then you left?

- It wasn't her, okay?

- So what?

- 'Cause she was talking about

inviting some guy named Allen,

like I just...

- What'd he look like?

- I don't know.

The point is, is I'm not gonna start doing stuff like that.

- Okay well who's next?

- I got another blind date.

I think I'm just gonna throw the towel in.

I mean I just can't do it.

It's too awkward.

- I got you, I got you.

Video chat.

- What?

- Like Facetime.

- Yeah.

Yeah, that's a thing, right?

- That's a thing.

That's what I do.

Would do if I was in your shoes.

I'm not, but I would. - Don't have to go anywhere.

- You don't have to go anywhere.

- Yeah.

- There you go.

Video chat.

Let me know how it goes.

- Video chat.

How do I do that?

(tense dramatic music)

(sighs)

(computer ringing)

It's gonna be fine.

Gonna be fine.

All right.

Here goes.

(computer ringing)

- Hi!

- [Man] What's up, babe?

- What's up?

- Well I'm an accountant at Drew & Hester.

(computer dings)

Hello?

Hello?

- I know, nice isn't it?

(laughs)

(groans)

- You know what, I'm done.

I am done trying to find this girl.

- [Man On Chat] This is a little unfair.

- How so?

- Why don't you get a bit more comfortable?

Like me.

- A bit more.

No, no, no, wait, no!

Okay that is it.

I am done trying to find this guy.

(playfully suspenseful music)

(thoughtful music)

- Rudolph?

(tense dramatic music)

- Oh, can you turn down the heat in here?

- Sorry miss, the heat switch is broken.

- [Jillian] So it wasn't him?

- No, no.

And I'm just really starting to think

that this is a bad idea.

- It wasn't.

No, it wasn't.

- I mean honestly what did I think,

that this guy that I accidentally ran into

is gonna somehow magically appear

on a site I've never even heard of? I mean for all I know

he could be halfway across the world right now

and never even thinking about me.

- Well he's cute.

- Who?

- Him. - That's him!

- No, really? - Yes, no I'm positive.

That's him! - Are you sure?

Driver, driver, please open the window.

- [Driver] I'm sorry miss, it's broken.

- It doesn't open? - Hey no, hey, hey!

- Hey, hey hey! - Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, you should flash him?

- What?

I'm not gonna flash him. - Do you want me to?

I'll flash him. - No, Jillian!

- Hey, hey! - Hey, hey!

Can you beep your horn?

- [Driver] Sorry miss, the horn is--

- Broken, right. - Buddy!

- Hey, hey hey!

Hey hey, no, no, no, no, no!

- [Jillian] No, no!

- [Kelly] He's gone.

- No!

Shoot!

- I mean that is ridiculous.

(phone dings)

- Oh shoot, Kells.

We're gonna be so late.

Can you step on it?

- Francis, so sorry.

- You guys used to be so punctual.

- What did we miss?

- Oh nothing, only everything.

It's okay though.

I handled it.

Clients loved me.

- Are you sure?

- [Francis] Yeah.

Of course.

- [Kelly] So, did it go well?

- Yeah. - Did they--

- Well they liked what I did with it, so.

- You mean what we did with it?

- Yeah, I mean sure, we could say that.

- Francis, what is with you?

Francis?

- Oh, you two!

- (sighs) You know what, just relax, okay?

Whatever.

(scoffs)

(thoughtful music)

- Hey. - Hi.

What's that?

- I have no idea.

It's like counting sheets, balanced to, I don't know.

I think this is for someone else.

- Who's it from?

- Rudolph and Associates.

- Hmm?

What?

Never heard of 'em.

Anyways Kelly, I just, I just wanted to say

I was sorry. - You know what,

I'm gonna be right back.

I have to step out, okay?

Thanks Francis.

(sighs)

- [Francis] Okay.

(tense dramatic music)

- [Santa] Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

- Santa, hey!

- Merry Christmas, Kelly.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

Can you spare some change for the mission?

- Yeah, yeah.

So listen, I received this package.

It's clearly not for me, but it's addressed here,

to a Rudolph and Associates?

- I think the answer's right in front of you, Kelly.

(bell jangles)

- Hi there.

- Can I help you?

- Yes, is there a Rudolph and Associates here?

It might be an accounting firm?

(laughs)

What's so funny?

- A young man was just here

asking about that same firm.

- Really?

- Never had two people looking for something

that wasn't here before.

- Is he still here? (phone rings)

Because I just, I really need to.

Sorry, one second, one second.

Claudia, hi.

Yeah, hello?

I'm gonna be right back.

Just the reception's bad.

Ma'am?

- [Chris] Coming right now.

- [Receptionist] Sir!

- Claudia!

Yeah, yes.

No, no, no, I will, I'm gonna be right back.

Right.

- Hey, yeah, I just had to step out.

- No, it's just gonna be 10 minutes

and I'll be right back, okay?

Okay, I will.

I will pick it up.

Ugh, no!

(sighs)

(playful music)

Well, that was a bust.

Anyways, I've gotta get back to work.

- Yes, I know, I overheard your phone conversation.

- Right.

Listen I just, I mean, I still don't get it.

- Like I said, Kelly, the answer was right in front of you.

- Okay.

- Kelly, remember, when you hold a heart in two hands,

(twinkling)

then there's only week left.

(playful music)

- Right.

(tense dramatic music)

- Coffee?

- Yeah.

You know I actually don't even like coffee?

- You don't?

- No. (chuckles)

- If you don't like coffee, what are we going for then?

- You asked.

I don't normally say no to you.

- I just wanted an excuse to walk and talk.

- Oh.

- Guessing we can go back up then.

- Guess so.

You don't like the Christmas campaign, do you?

- I wouldn't say that.

- I don't.

I mean, it's not her best work.

She's taken a step back, a big step back.

And I don't know if she--

- You know I wouldn't worry.

She'll pull through, she always does.

- Yeah, with your help.

- With everybody's help.

- Do you want her job?

- Do I wanna be a creative director?

Yeah, yeah absolutely.

- No Francis, do you want her job?

- I think I'll take that coffee now.

- Hmm.

(thoughtful music)

- Where are you?

(bright music)

- [Santa] Spare some change?

- Oh no, sorry, I don't think I have any.

- Well don't you have any left over

after buying your coffee this morning?

- You know what, look at that.

I have some.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, Chris.

(phone chimes)

- Aw man.

My Rydshr canceled.

- Oh, well go down around the block to Pike Street.

There's a Ryde line up over there.

- Over there?

Thanks.

Hey, have we, have we talked before?

- Well I am Santa, after all.

- (laughing) Right, of course.

Silly me.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- So Santa Claus, you're being stalked by Santa Claus?

- Yeah, well I mean not the Santa Claus,

but the guy we hired for our spot.

- And you talk to him?

- Yeah. - And he talks to you?

- Yes, it's the,

it is the actor that plays Santa Claus.

He's a real person.

- You sound like my dad when he was in longterm care.

- (laughs) Jills, I'm not suffering from dementia.

- Oh no, no, no, neither was he.

He had a urinary tract infection.

He just needed some antibiotics and he was good to go.

- Okay, I was telling you

that I was being stalked by a Santa Claus

and then suddenly we derailed onto,

I don't know, whatever this is.

- No, I know, I just,

I'm sorry, I guess I'm just nervous about the client.

- What? Why?

- Well if it goes poorly you and Francis--

- No, it won't.

- You guys are a team.

If you go, he goes.

- Hey, you're on our team too, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

- Oh yeah, I trust you.

Hey, you wanna check out this place?

- Sure.

What are we gonna get Claudia?

- Oh, do we have to get her anything?

- (groans) I know.

Hey!

- You don't wanna go in there.

- Oh my god, he is a stalker.

- I know.

- Oh no, no, I just have a list and I check it.

But trust me, you don't wanna go in there.

- Oh really?

And why is that?

- Well it's, it's overpriced and,

and you wouldn't like it.

- Okay.

- Maybe you should try the store across the street.

(twinkling)

- It's him!

- Of course it's him, it's Santa Claus.

He's dressed up as him.

- No, Jills, it's him!

It's, hey!

- Hey, hey buddy!

- Hey. - Hey, hey you.

You stop!

- I think I finally got it.

(tense music)

- Well, well, yeah I'm just jumping in a ride now,

back at the office soon.

Okay, bye.

- No, wait wait. - How you doing?

- Hey, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- Oh come on! - Hey, hey, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Stop, stop, top.

Stop, stop.

Oh come on!

What does a girl gotta do to get a guy's attention?

Put it sky writing?

- I told you, you just should've flashed him in the car.

- Stop it. - What?

Oh man.

- What's that?

(thoughtful music)

- A heart in two hands.

- Kelly.

- A heart in two hands.

- That is just like your ring and that is a sign.

- Okay, now what did Santa say?

He said a week.

I mean what is in a week?

- Well it's Christmas.

(clock chimes)

That's another sign.

You should post it on Missed Connections.

- No, I'm done with that.

- Come on.

Kelly, come on! - I'm done with that.

- He'll be looking for it.

- No, no, no, no. - Come on!

- No, no. - Just post it

on the stupid site. - No, no, no, no.

- [Jillian] Kelly!

(playfully suspenseful music)

- And voila.

What do you think?

- Not what I woulda done with it.

- Wow, that's very solid feedback, Frank.

I'm joking.

Are you okay?

- It's not getting better.

It's getting less better.

I didn't wanna say worse.

- Ouch.

- [Jillian] Hey, do you have a second?

- [Francis] Who do you want?

- Kelly, obviously.

- Great, I'm getting a refill.

- Okay, when you're refilling,

try to think of some constructive criticism.

- Has Francis been acting weird?

- Yeah.

Yeah, he's really moody.

I mean something's going on. (phone dinging)

- [Jillian] Is it going well in here?

- Yeah Jills, you know we'll figure it out.

- What?

Kelly what?

- I just have to step out for a bit.

- Is it him?

It's him.

Oh my goodness, it's him.

Okay.

- I don't know, but I'm gonna meet him for coffee

and we'll see.

- [Jillian] Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay, go.

(tense dramatic music)

- I'm heading out, I'll be back.

- Okay. - See you in a bit.

- Hey.

- What? - You lose your ring?

I told you, you're gonna lose your ring.

- Can we talk about this later?

I gotta meet somebody or I'm gonna be late.

- Because of me?

- Yes, because of you.

- Who, the girl?

- No, Santa Claus.

Yeah, the girl.

- What are you talking to me for? Go meet the girl.

(scoffs)

What's the matter with you?

(laughing)

- I thought it was you.

- What?

- I thought that he seemed familiar.

But you know honestly, it's been so great catching up.

I mean cyber catching up.

It's been a long time.

- It's only been a month.

- Yeah, I know, but you still, you still look good.

Listen Ben, I don't want this to be awkward,

but I think I met someone else.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

I mean this is still really romantic.

- [Woman In Red] What's really romantic?

- Um, he asked me to meet him here.

We've been talking on Missed Connections.

- [Both] What?

(tense dramatic music)

(mutters)

- You told me you never used that site.

- No, Nina, I have no idea what she's talking about.

- Okay, time out.

I mean, I may have made a mistake.

He, he dumped me a month ago.

- One month ago.

Today's our two month anniversary.

You can have him back.

- Oh I, I don't want him.

- Thanks, Kell.

Don't you have a meeting or something to be at?

(babbles)

(sighs)

(playful music)

- Spreading Christmas cheer as usual?

- How did you know I'd be here?

- I didn't, I was just passing by.

Can I join you?

- Take a load off.

- So, you haven't noticed a pattern yet?

You're a smart cookie.

I'd figure you had it by now.

- A pattern with you?

- Maybe not as smart as I thought.

- [Kelly] Hey!

- You're close, but you're not there yet.

Neither of you are.

Too focused on other things.

And the clock is still ticking.

- Could you just be a little more specific?

- I'm afraid not, Kelly.

I can only show you the door.

You're the one that has to walk through it.

(phone rings)

- One second.

Sorry, Santa.

Francis, hi.

Yeah, I'll be right back.

I'm just down the street.

Yes, I'm aware that is this weekend.

I will be right there.

Sorry, work.

Look, I don't know exactly what you are trying to tell me,

but hopefully I'll figure it out.

- I hope so Kelly.

(playful music)

(playful music)

(tense dramatic music)

(sighs)

- It just is missing something, you know?

- Hmm?

- The spot.

It's missing something.

- All good on my end.

(sighs)

(lullaby music)

- Good morning.

- Hey.

Where's everybody?

- [Jillian] It's Sunday.

- Right.

Coffee?

- I'm good, but you could clearly use one.

- So funny.

Whoa.

- [Woman On Answering Machine] Just wanted to say

thanks again for missing your niece and nephew's birthdays.

That's three years in a row now, Kell.

You're on track to break Dad's record.

Hope you're proud.

- Oh no. - What?

- Oh Kelly! - What happened?

- I forgot my nieces' birthday.

- Again. - Again.

- Didn't Francis miss his brother's wedding last year?

- That's true.

Speaking of.

- I don't know where.

Bye.

- Hey.

- I put Francis in charge of the campaign.

He did the internal review this morning and it went well.

- You put Francis in charge of the campaign.

- You were sleeping.

- And then no one thought to wake me up?

- We didn't have to wake Francis up.

- Claudia, it's my campaign.

- It's the agency's.

(Kelly scoffs)

- Fine.

Okay.

Well then I guess there's really no reason

for me to be here.

So, bye.

Have fun with it.

- Exit interview not go well?

What's wrong, man?

I can see something's wrong.

- Just makes it all real.

- Ah, you'll be fine.

It's just a girl you barely know.

- It's not about that, it's not just about a girl.

What do we do here?

We spend every waking moment trying to find ways

for rich people to pay less taxes?

- Yeah.

That's what accountants do, Chris.

You're gonna be doing it for even richer people

in California.

- There's just gotta be something more meaningful

you could do with an accounting degree.

- Like what?

- I don't know, I always thought that I'd

help a startup or fund a charity or something, you know?

- Look, we've all had this moment.

I had it, my boss had it,

I'm sure her boss had it.

Then you get your paycheck and you go,

actually nevermind, this is the best.

Hey Chris, you're great at something

and you're paid very well for it.

Not many people get that chance.

You should embrace it.

- I gotta get outta here.

- Oh hey, Jenny.

Yeah, I know, I now.

I missed the kids' birthdays, again.

Yeah.

Hey guys.

I'm sorry I missed your birthday, again.

(sighs)

Oh Kelly.

I don't know what to say.

(groans)

(energetic music)

(twinkling)

("The 12 Days of Christmas")

(phone rings)

Okay.

- No matter how many times I tell people,

they never get the order right.

- What?

- Well Prancer should be where Dasher is.

And look at me, look at the size of my belly.

Is it really that big?

- No!

No, no, you look great!

- Well I appreciate that.

- Listen maybe you can help.

I'm trying to find a present for nieces,

Aiden and Pilar, and I have no idea.

I mean, I've barely seen them since they were born.

- Well you should work on that.

- I know, I know.

And I meant to tell you, I found the ring.

A heart in two hands.

- Oh.

Oh shoot, I need to get back.

I'm the mall santa here and...

- Doesn't surprise me.

- Well you didn't think that I would be

just hanging out at a toy store, did you?

- Get this for Pilar, she'll love it.

And Aiden, get her a guitar.

A real one.

It'll change her life.

In fact, there's a guitar store across the street.

- Really?

Thank you.

Perfect.

(thoughtful music)

That's really good, what is it?

- It's just something I wrote.

- It's great.

- Buying a guitar for your?

- For my niece.

- Does she play?

- Well hopefully she will soon. (chuckles)

- It's a gift that'll last forever.

- Seriously this is beautiful.

Did you write that for someone?

- (sighs) Kinda sorta.

I had this, this chance encounter with this girl

outside my office.

I don't know, I just,

it sounds silly but I never felt such a connection

with total stranger before.

(gentle music)

- Outside your office on Pine Street?

- Yeah.

(happy music)

It's you.

- It's you. - It's you.

Cheers. - Cheers.

- I can't believe that we actually found each other.

- I know, I know.

I mean I, honestly I looked everywhere.

I even, I even tried.

- Missed Connections.

- Yeah. (Chris laughing)

Yes, yes.

- Yeah, I did as well.

- And how did you find it?

- Missed Connections?

Let me think.

It was, it was interesting.

- Um hmm.

- It was very interested.

I met some very interesting people.

(both laughing)

Some of them right here in this coffee shop, in fact.

- [Kelly] So did I.

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean it was interesting, is a good word to describe it.

- Yeah, that's a generous word to describe it.

- Yeah. (laughing)

So what do you do?

- [Chris] I'm an accountant.

- Oh.

You have a real job.

- Yeah, kinda.

What about yourself?

- Advertising.

- Oh, that's cool.

My cousin worked at an advertising agency.

She said it was like being in Kindergarten with booze.

(laughing)

- That's actually a correct way to describe it, um hmm.

I mean it's fun and we're not exactly saving lives,

but I get to be creative.

- I get to be creative too,

you know I get to creatively find my way

around all kinds of tax laws.

- Wow, I nearly fell asleep just thinking about that.

- It's not exciting career, typically.

Not really where I always thought I'd end up.

- What did you have in mind?

- I don't know, I just thought I'd end up

doing something important.

- Well hey, I make whitty 30 second spots

that tug at people's heartstrings

and manipulate them into buying things that they don't want

and probably don't need.

So.

- [Chris] They probably want some of 'em.

- Mm. (Chris laughs)

- So what would you rather do?

- Honestly, nothing.

I really love it.

But, I just wish I could do it on my own terms.

- Yeah, yeah, wouldn't that be nice.

- Hey, I, this might sound strange,

but I actually have something of yours.

- Of mine?

How's that possible?

- Here, follow me.

- Really? - Yeah.

(happy music)

So this is me.

- Oh, this is nice.

- Thank you.

You could just, you just drop those anywhere.

- Sure.

- So you ready?

- [Chris] Yeah.

- Ta da.

- Wow.

Hey, look at that.

I can't believe you found it.

Look at that.

- That means that you're not taken?

- Not yet.

- Hmm. (giggles)

- Do you wanna, get something to eat or?

- Yeah, yeah!

- Great. - Great.

- Come on. - Okay.

(laughing)

So you're an accountant, right?

- Yes, yes I am.

Not the sexiest job in the world, I know.

But yeah, I work at Drew & Hester.

It's a company.

- I might sound a little weird,

but I got a package last week and it was full of

like accounting documents and spreadsheets.

- Okay, wait a second.

That's weird because I got a package last week

addressed to Kelly--

- What?

- It was like a pitch deck or something.

Where, what building do you work in?

- I work at 2435 South--

- Western? - Yes.

- We work in the same building.

- What?

You've got to be kidding me.

- No. - I mean how

have we never run into each other?

- Well we have, actually.

- Literally.

(laughing)

- Wow, that's crazy that we've been in the same building

the whole time. - I know!

- Wow.

Huh.

- You haven't gotten

any like weird signs from a...

- Santa?

- Yes, yes!

I thought that I Was going insane.

- I know, right?

But what is with all the clues

and the puzzle and stuff?

Why can't he just come out and, you know?

- I don't know, right?

But hey, at least here we are.

- [Chris] So, not so vague I guess.

- Cheers.

To Santa.

- Santa.

- [Kelly] If you could do anything, work or career,

what would it be?

- Anything?

- Yeah, like if you woke up tomorrow

and if food didn't cost anything and rent was free

and you could just do anything, whatever makes you happy,

what would you do?

- If rent was free,

you've obviously already thought about this

so why don't you go first?

- But I wanna hear you.

- I promise.

Just let me think about it. - Okay, okay.

I would love to start a small boutique ad agency,

something that just caters to a smaller clientele,

startups and non-profits

and just helps them get their message out there.

That's what I'd love to do.

I mean I've been telling myself for years

that it's just too risky to go out on your own,

so that's why I haven't.

What?

- Nothing, it's just I was talking to my friend

about how I wanna work with more startups and charities,

so it's interesting that you said that.

- Really? - Yeah.

- So is that what you would do?

- If nothing costs anything?

- [Kelly] Yeah.

- Maybe.

But mostly I think I'd be a musician.

- Whoa, really?

- Yeah. - Wow.

- Yeah look, I know I'm not good enough

to be like a professional or a rock star

or anything like that.

But, I just, I'd find a coffee shop or a pub

and play my songs.

I'd play a lotta covers too, lots of covers.

- Right.

- And right, if people wanted to listen that'd be cool

and if they didn't wanna listen, that'd be cool too.

- Chris, I love that.

I love that.

(chuckles)

Okay, so that music that you were playing in the store,

is that part of a whole song?

- Yeah, yeah, it's an entire song.

- So beautiful.

I would love to hear it.

- Well I can send it to you.

But of course my phone is dead.

(laughing)

- So I'll send it to you when my phone's not dead.

- Sounds good.

- If that ever happens.

(happy music)

- Something's been on my mind.

Do you know something else that Santa said to me?

He kept talking about a clock ticking,

like I was on a deadline.

Did he say anything like that to you?

- Deadline?

No.

- Hmm.

Well whatever he was referring to, Chris I'm just,

I'm really glad that we bumped into each other.

- Yeah, me too.

(twinkling)

(playful music)

I'm leaving.

- Sorry?

- I'm leaving.

- Yeah no, I heard that.

- No, but that's what Santa was referring to

is referring to the fact that I'm leaving.

- Here? - Yes.

- To go somewhere?

- Else.

- [Kelly] Oh.

- Yeah.

- Where?

- California.

Los Angeles.

Hey, you don't happen to be from California, do you?

- No actually I've never even been.

- Great, of course.

- So when?

- A couple days.

(thoughtful music)

- Huh, what for?

- I, I got a promotion.

They're making me partner.

- Wow, congratulations.

That's great.

- Thanks, thanks, yeah.

I wasn't sure about it at first,

I didn't know if I wanted to take the job.

It's a little late to back out now.

- Well and what a great opportunity.

I mean. - Right.

- Yeah. - Sure.

Yeah, it's a great opportunity.

- Um hmm.

But hey, it is a globally connected world.

So we can just, we can keep in touch and--

- And we'll exchange information.

We'll actually do it this time.

- You charge your phone.

- I'll plug my phone in and it'll be charged

and always ready to, you know.

- Right.

Why is it so hot in here.

- 'Cause it's winter.

Okay, so I don't understand.

You finally meet him.

- Yeah.

- And you liked him.

- Yeah, a lot.

- But-- - He's moving.

- To take a promotion in a career he doesn't even like?

- Pretty much all sums it up, yeah.

- Why?

- Because Jills, I'm meant to be single and die alone.

- Stop that.

- I can't believe I'm not creative director

on those anymore.

- You okay with it?

- Yeah.

Yeah Francis, he'll do a good job.

He's ready, I think.

- Yeah I mean, at least he was following

the goals of the brief, right?

- What?

- I mean you kinda did color outside the lines.

- Yeah, well that's our job as creatives.

- [Jillian] To make the brief what the clients wanted?

- Are you being serious?

What?

What is with the two of you, all right?

You and Francis, you haven't been on board

with anything I've been saying recently?

Jills, it is our job to think outside the box.

And hey, last time I checked,

pretty sure they gave me the award.

So, must know what I'm talking about.

- Kelly, I didn't mean it like that.

- Jills, it's fine.

This has been a bad enough day,

I'm just (mutters).

- Kelly, I'm sorry.

(phone dings)

Fantastic, it's fantastic timing, Francis.

("Silent Night")

- Compose text to Kelly.

(thoughtful music)

Dear Kelly, this is for you.

Hope you like it.

(phone buzzes)

(man humming)

♪ Toys and gifts are not enough somehow ♪

♪ But every day of our lives can be like Christmas ♪

♪ If only you were here beside me now ♪

- Okay. (chuckles)

Where is she?

- I hope she's okay.

I mean it's just not like her not to show up.

- Well let's try this again.

Kelly, we're here, we're waiting for you.

The clients are here.

We're here--

- I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

- [Jillian] Thank god, let's go.

- Okay, great.

- Hey are you okay? - Yeah.

- Hey Kell, I'm sorry.

- No Jills, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I yelled at you.

- Shh, it's fine.

- Okay guys, ready?

- Uh yeah, yeah.

- Okay, you got this Francis.

And I'm there if you need me, okay?

- Fantastic?

Awesome.

- Terrible.

- I'm sorry?

- Where's the joy?

Where's the fun?

Where's the--

- This is what you asked for.

- We never would've asked for something like that.

(laughing)

- Kelly?

- Fooled you.

A little Christmas jokes.

Francis, he's such a little prankster.

- [Francis] Christmas prankster, that's me.

- Now we all know that Christmas, it's not about gifts,

it's not about decorations, right?

It's about what really matters the most.

And that is your friends and your family.

Because if you can't count on anyone

and you don't have anyone to count on you,

then really, what is the point?

- [Francis] What is the point, Kelly?

- Well I'll tell you, Francis.

Christmas, it is that one magical time of the year

that you get to spend

with those people that really, really matter.

And your product, it makes that happen.

♪ But every day of our lives can be like Christmas ♪

♪ If only you were here beside me now ♪

- I promised myself I wouldn't cry!

(sighs)

What's wrong?

You look like somebody stole your lunch money.

- I found her.

- You found her?

- Yeah, her.

- Did you guys (whistles)?

- Will you shut up?

- That wasn't a no.

That's a no, yeah, that's a no.

- That's a no.

- Was she from California?

- No.

- Oh for two.

Hey when we knew it was a long shot anyway.

- Yeah.

Just like you said, there's no reason

for me to stay here anyway, right?

- Well I mean you could stay for her.

(laughs) That would be insane.

Turn down the sun and the money of California

for the rain city.

Hey, news flash, this just in,

there's girls in California.

You'll be fine.

(chuckles)

- This is your stapler.

- I was looking for this.

- Hey, come here.

- It's got my name on it.

Oh god, hold on.

Oh come on.

I'm gonna miss ya buddy.

- [Chris] Yeah, you too buddy.

- That was amazing, Kelly.

You did it again.

- Oh thank you. - Thank you so much.

- Merry Christmas.

- Oh thanks, you too.

- Bye.

- Kelly.

- That was--

- Hey, that's just what I do.

- That was amazing.

No, the song brought it all together.

Where did you find it?

(sighs)

- I mean, I can't believe you kept working on it,

even after Claudia.

- Yeah, I mean of course.

I used a lot of your notes, okay?

You guys, we, we are a team effort.

(phone rings)

- Legend.

- Just a second, guys.

- Claudia, hmm.

Answer it.

Look, I know that she's been

dangling my job for you, Francis.

And if you took it I would totally understand.

- No, well Kell, actually--

- Francis, answer it.

- Hey Claudia.

Hey.

(thoughtful music)

(sighs)

- Hey Dad.

Right now?

Yeah, sure.

(bright music)

So we're doing Christmas Eve at Jenny's?

- [Dad] Um hmm, yep.

- Didn't Doctor Zwarski put you on a diet?

- She did.

- Um hmm.

And how's that going for you?

- It's my cheat day.

(laughs)

- Dad, you had a heart attack.

- A minor heart attack.

Very minor.

It was so minor it doesn't even count.

Anyway, how's that new project at work going?

- Eh.

- I am really sorry I missed your awards dinner.

Again.

- Honestly Dad, I just,

I feel like I'm at a crossroads.

You know I'm just, I'm not into it anymore.

- Well you'll figure it out.

You always do and you always have.

- Thanks.

What about you?

How's work? - Well, it's my busy time, so.

(phone rings) - When is it not busy?

- Sorry.

It never stops.

- You never get tired of it?

- With the job?

Never.

- [Kelly] Really?

- Especially, well it's not work to me.

I'd do it for free if I could.

- Really?

- Well come on, you know what I mean.

When you're creating

and you're finding ideas out of nowhere,

and you hit that sweet spot.

Oh, you love it as much as I do.

That's why you're so good at it.

- (sighs) Right.

- It's who we are, kiddo.

Sorry.

(phone rings)

Sorry.

(sighs)

(tense dramatic music)

- Just the person I was looking for.

You again, ignored the brief, ignored the client's requests.

I hate it.

- Claudia listen--

- This spot, it's terrible. (phone rings)

Who the hell is calling me on Christmas Eve?

What?

Oh hi, Andrea.

Look, I offer my deepest apologies.

I'm so sorry, I just saw.

What?

You love it?

It's the best work we've ever done for you?

(laughs)

Yes, we love it too.

I was only kidding.

Right.

Of course Kelly will head up your new spring campaign.

Thanks, bye.

Well. - Well.

- Look at that.

- I quit.

- [Claudia] You can't quit.

- Oh, but I just did.

- I'll double your salary.

- You just tried to fire me.

- You know what, quit, that's fine.

I don't care, I'll give your work to Francis.

- [Francis] Actually I quit too, so.

- [Jillian] And me.

- What?

- Hey you know, we got hired together.

We might as well resign together, right guys?

- Oh guys.

- You didn't actually think

I was gonna take your job, did you?

- Yeah, she totally did.

- I mean I would've.

- You know what, if you guys leave right now

I will make sure you never work in this industry again.

- Not!

- Our!

- Problem.

- [Francis] Bye.

- Okay, so that happened.

- I can't believe you actually thought

I was gonna take your job.

- I mean, I would've.

- Oh well, I wanted to change my mind then.

- No, I'm just kidding.

Hey, I love you.

It was very sweet.

- I just realized something.

- [Kelly] Tomorrow's Christmas.

- No, no.

I'm unemployed.

- Oh that. - I have rent,

student loans.

- Don't be such a downer.

We'll figure something out.

- Yeah and you know what,

speaking of downers, my treat.

Cheers to quitting.

- Cheers to that.

- I can only have one

and then I've gotta run to my parents'.

- Me too.

I gotta get back to open presents.

- You open presents on Christmas Eve?

- Yeah.

- Don't you wanna wake up on Christmas morning

to a sense of excitement and wonderment?

- No, I wanna wake up with new toys to play with.

(phone dings)

- That's a fair argument.

- Just got an e-mail from Andrea.

- Our client?

- Former client.

- I wouldn't be so sure about that.

You guys, she wants me to start my own agency

and she said that she would move over with us.

- What? - Yeah.

- Really?

- That's amazing!

- Wow. - That's amazing!

- Oh my god.

- Kelly, using that song's gonna change your life.

- Thank you.

(thoughtful music)

Hey there.

Is this Chris' stuff?

- Yeah, we're just finishing up now.

- Is he gone?

- A while ago, yeah.

- Oh.

Thank you.

- Merry Christmas, miss.

- Yeah, merry Christmas.

Come on.

(busy tone beeps)

(sighs)

Hey.

I thought you'd be halfway across the Pacific by now.

- I still have time.

I was helping this guy with his coffee shop

and well, I was done sooner than I thought.

Well you're taking a big step starting your own agency.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Does that scare you a little?

- Oh, it scares me a lot.

- Well that means you're doing the right thing.

- So is that what this whole thing was about,

is that you're encouraging me to?

- No.

I just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas, Kelly Hartwick.

(thoughtful music)

- Merry Christmas, Santa.

(wind whistles)

(chuckles)

(upbeat music)

Ho, ho, ho!

Ah, girls!

Merry Christmas.

Oh merry Christmas.

I missed you oh so, so, much.

Aiden, it's for you.

Pilar, this is for you.

Oh, merry Christmas Dad.

Hey!

- [Woman in Red] Hey, merry Christmas.

- So good to see you.

So, what do you think?

(laughing)

- Kell, these are perfect.

How'd you know what they wanted?

- Well I, I might've had some help

from a guy with a white beard and a red suit, um hmm.

(gentle guitar music)

- What is that?

- One second.

You're here.

I mean, I thought that you left.

- I decided not to go.

I tried to call you, but of course my phone died.

- And then nothing worked in this Ryde guy's car

but apparently he knows you.

- Hey!

- Yes.

Chris, this is crazy.

I mean how are you passing up this incredible opportunity?

I mean, we hardly know each other.

- None of it means anything

if I don't have someone to share it with.

So.

- Really?

- [Chris] Yeah.

What do you say?

(chuckles)

- Don't you just love Christmas?

- Yeah, I really do.

- Me too.

(happy music)

- Gets me every time.
