LINDSAY: We've talked a lot this
semester about the infinite potential

that each of us carry
within ourselves,

with theories from Sartre,
to Rogers, to Maslow.

But now, with Christmas
rapidly approaching,

I regret to say that

we've reached the
end of our class.

(ALL MOANING)

I know.

But as we leave
the class behind,

I hope that each of you can take
a moment and ask yourselves...

(INHALES SHARPLY)

What can you take
away from it all?

It's tough to get enlightened.

(ALL LAUGH)

So true, Ryan.

And how do we get there?

How do we become people

who always strive to be better?

How can any of us live

a truly inspired life?

For each of us, the answer
is maybe different.

But what's important is
asking the questions.

"What matters to me?

"What fulfills me?

"What gives my life meaning?

"What is it that I really want?"

Pretty simple, straightforward
questions, right?

(ALL LAUGH)

Don't be fooled.

The answers don't
always come easily.

And if we're really
honest with ourselves,

they might not always
be what we expect.

Okay, here we go, miss.

My personal favorite. Enjoy. Thank you.
Looks delicious.

Oh, oops! Almost forgot. Mmm.

Aww!

He never kisses me like that.
Me, neither.

No comment.

(SCOFFS) Andi, Kathy,
don't be jealous.

Dorothy and I, we just
have a special connection.

Hey, Lindsay. Hey, Becca.

I hear he's been kissing the
customers behind my back.

You're supposed to be
looking out for me.

Sorry. He's the boss.

Hey, what? I thought us girls were
supposed to look out for each together.

I inspire loyalty in my staff.

Oh, hey, uh... New
desserts are ready.

I'm still tweaking
the recipes, so,

curious to know what you think.

They look amazing.
Have you tried them?

Well, they're pastries,
so I just love them all.

That's why I need my
official taste tester.

Well, it's a hardship,
but I'll do it for you.

Whoa! These are really good.

Yeah? Yeah.

I mean, maybe, like, a
touch more cinnamon.

Yeah. Yeah, I know, I was...
Yeah.

That's what it is. Yeah.
Right? Yeah.

Okay.

(MOUTHING INDISTINCTLY)

All right, I'm out of here.

Hey, before you go, um...

I was kind of hoping

I could take you out
to dinner tonight.

I was thinking maybe Ginos?

Ginos? What's the occasion?

No occasion. Just, you know,
we're young, we're in love.

What more reason do we need?
(CHUCKLES)

Oh, you know, I'm
supposed to help my mom

with the Senior
Holiday food drive,

so can we rain check?

Uh... (MOUTHING) No!

Well... (CHUCKLES) So, wait,

you're saying that you are
choosing canned goods over Ginos?

How about if I bribed your mother
with an extra box of pastries?

Okay? Extra coffee?

Do you think that maybe
she'd let you off the hook?

Okay, if you're gonna
go to those lengths...

You want to come pick me up?

Why don't we meet there?
Say, like, 8:00?

I've just got a bunch
of stuff to do here.

Yeah. Of course. Sounds good,
I'll see you there. Bye.

Love you. Bye.

Love you, too.

(BECCA CHUCKLING) (EXHALES)

Yeah, nailed it.

Smooth. Yeah.

What?

(WHISTLING)

(SIGHS)

Mrs. Jamison.

Let me help you.

Oh, I'm fine. I don't
need your help.

No, I know, I know, but,
really, it's no problem.

I said, I'm fine. Okay.

I'm not an invalid, you know.

No, I know that.

Leave those there.

I'll get them in a minute.

You're welcome.

I'm home.

Mom. Grandpa.

Hey. GRANDPA BOB: Hi, honey.

Hey. How's it going?

(EXCLAIMING) Don't look!
Don't look!

Do not come into this room!
I'm wrapping presents.

Don't look!

I'm not looking! I'm
wrapping presents!

I'm not looking.
Don't worry, but...

Do not come into this room!

LINDSAY: I'm not looking,
but if I was, and...

(LAUGHING)

And, clearly, I'm not.

I would say that that dress that
you're trying so hard to hide,

the one that looks incredibly similar
to the one from my wish list,

it's perfect.

It's so perfect, in fact, I,
kind of, sort of, really,

truly, wanna have it right now.

Hi, Mom. There you are.

We were about to send
out a search party.

Sorry, I stopped
in to see Jason,

and then I just bumped into Mrs.
Jamison.

Try to cut her some slack.
She's lonely.

Don't worry, she's not
going to get me down.

This is my favorite
time of year.

Oh, Mom, here.

Jason sent these, and these,
for the delivery tonight.

How sweet of him.

Speaking of Jason, is it okay if I
pass on coming with you tonight?

He asked me on a date.

At Ginos. Yeah, that's fine.

Merry Christmas.

(GASPS AND CHUCKLES)

Oh, Grandpa. Thank you. Oh!

(CHUCKLING)

I love it.

So I'm a sucker. (LAUGHS)

This girl sure has you wrapped
around her little finger, Daddy.

Well, I wonder who
she takes after.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you.

Well, that is some dress.
(CHUCKLES)

I know.

I feel kind of guilty.
It's expensive.

Well, you can always return it.

Yeah, I don't feel that guilty.

(BOTH LAUGH)

So, another semester down.

Your father would be so proud
to see you living your dream.

Yeah, if only my dream were
to live at home forever

and make just enough to get by.

I love having you here.

It'd be quiet without you.

Well, that's why you
need to sign on

to that singles website
that we signed you up for.

Oh! No. That is not romantic.

Come on, how else are you
going to meet a guy?

It's time.

(CHUCKLES)

So, Ginos, huh?

(CHUCKLES)

What's the special occasion?

Apparently, we don't need one,

because "we're young,
and we're in love,"

and that's all the
reason we need.

Huh.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

It's just Ginos.

The most expensive
place in this town?

(CHUCKLES)

No...

You don't think?

(CHUCKLES)

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

No, no, he said
there's no occasion.

I'm just going to
take him at his word.

Well, all right, then.

(LAUGHS)

You okay?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. I think I
just stood up too fast.

(SIGHS) I am gonna
finish up here.

Why don't you go get
yourself dolled up?

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS)

Going home, girls.

LINDSAY: Wait, Grandpa.
What do you think?

(GRANDPA BOB EXHALES)

(GRANDPA BOB CHUCKLES)

You look stunning, my dear.

(LAUGHS) Simply stunning.

Thank you. You have great taste.

Uh...

Hey, what are you doing going
out without your coat on?

You're going to catch pneumonia.

I think I can survive
crossing the street.

(CHUCKLES)

You have a great night.
Thank you.

Huh. SHANNON: Wait, Lindsay.

Hang on a sec.

Bye, Dad. Bye, Shannon.

Here's your purse, your coat...
Thank you.

And a message came for you.

"Stephanie Jackman"? Who's that?

I don't know. She just said it was
important. She asked you to call back.

(INHALES SHARPLY) Hmm...

(LINE RINGING)

DEAN JACKMAN: Hello. You've reached Dean
Jackman's office at Yale University.

Please leave a detailed message.

(CHUCKLES) (BEEPS)

Yeah, hello.

Hi, Dean Jackman at Yale University.
This is Lindsay Rogers.

I'm returning your call. I'm
sorry to be calling so late.

I just wanted to
let you know that

I will be available
throughout the holidays

if you want to reach me at all.

Hello. (CHUCKLES)

Hi, Dean Jackman.
Yeah, hi. Um...

I didn't realize you
were still there.

I was just leaving but
I'm glad you called.

I was forwarded your thesis
by our University Press.

Right. My gosh, I'm very
eager to get it published.

We all think it is
an impressive work.

And if it's still available, on
behalf of the University Press,

I would like to extend an
offer to have it published.

(LAUGHS)

Wow! That is, um...

I'm very happy to
hear you say that.

We believe that your work could
resonate with the general public.

Now, I don't like to toss around
phrases like "bestseller,"

but the Press thinks that there is a
mass-market potential for your work.

It could use some
tailoring, of course.

Wait, you think that "Inspired: A
Study in Self-Conceptualization

"and its Quantifiable Impact on
Interpersonal Paradigm Outcomes"

could be a bestseller?

(CHUCKLES) So maybe the
title could use some work.

How does the title
"Inspired" sound to you?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Wow. And while you're
considering that,

we also have an Associate Professorship
opening in our Psychology department.

Now, I can't make any guarantees
at this time, of course,

but it is a full
tenure-track position.

I think that you
could be a good fit.

Now, if you're interested, I'd like
to fly you here to Connecticut,

show you around our department and
introduce you to our faculty.

(STUTTERS AND CHUCKLES) I, um...

I'm genuinely at a loss...
I don't...

I don't know what to say.

I'm hoping you'll say "yes."

(DOORKNOB RATTLING)

JASON: Hey, you reached me.
You know what to do.

Hi, babe. Sorry to be the bearer
of bad news, but Ginos is closed.

Oh, scusi, signorina, please.

I'm so sorry, I didn't see you.

Please, come in. Come in.
You are open.

Oh, si. Please, your table is waiting.
Come in, please.

Okay. (SPEAKING ITALIAN)

It's...

You look very beautiful this evening.
This is really nice.

Yes. You look come una stella.

Like a star.

Please. Mr. Stewart will
be here very shortly.

Thanks.

Oh, um...

Do you think someone could
maybe tell me what's going on?

Certainly. While
you are waiting,

Mr. Stewart has arranged a private
screening of a very special little movie.

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

It's beautiful.

Uh... (CHUCKLES) Grazie, grazie.

Enjoy. Thank you.

Oh, hello. I didn't see you there.
Welcome to our show.

I'm so glad that you could join me.
(LAUGHS)

Tonight, we bring
you a love story.

And not just any love story, this
i The Story of Jason and Lindsay.

Or, as your family
would call it...

The Story of Lindsay and Jason.

Though we both grew up in the
quiet little town of Harborview,

only a few blocks away
from one another,

our epic love didn't really
begin until the sixth grade,

when I played Joseph to your Mary
in the annual Christmas pageant.

And like many great
thespians before me,

I followed the time-honored tradition of
falling in love with my leading lady.

But, sadly, it was a love that went
unrequited for many long, lonely years.

Alas, the "Years of Exile."

The years when you,
Lindsay Anne Rogers,

blossomed into the ravishing
beauty you are today, while I...

Well, let's just say the awkward
years weren't kind to me.

(WHISTLES) (CHUCKLES)

But, fortunately,
as you grew up,

and moved off to college,
then came back home,

I grew out of my braces and transformed
into the ruggedly handsome,

chiseled man you
know me as today.

(CHUCKLES) Well, I got
my braces off, anyway.

The point is, the
day finally came

when you walked into my coffee
shop and back into my life.

And that moment, when
we first saw each other

after all those
years, was magical.

I instantly knew it was love at
first sight, all over again.

For you?

I don't know.

I mean, maybe my world-famous
dark-chocolate double espresso

had something to do with it.

But whatever it was,

the day finally came when
you fell in love with me

like I had fallen in love with
you, all those years before.

And that's why, sweetheart,

the man behind you has something
he would like to ask you.

Okay, so in my mind, I thought that
that was gonna be really cool,

but watching it now, I
feel like a total idiot,

so I'm hoping that we can just
forget that that ever happened.

And, I'm hoping that...

You would do me the
honor of marrying me

and spending the rest
of your life with me.

JASON: Lindsay?

Lindsay.

I'm sorry, I just need
a little bit of air.

I was so sure that
you'd say yes.

I thought you'd be happy.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.
I... (BREATHING HEAVILY)

Lindsay, what is this?
What's going on?

Just before I got here, I
was offered a job at Yale.

Yale?

Wow!

It's an Associate Professorship
that just opened up.

They also wanna publish my work.

That's amazing.

But so... I don't understand.
Like...

So you applied for a job? No.

No, I didn't apply for a job.

I mean, obviously, I submitted my
thesis for publication, you knew that,

but I didn't know that a
position was opening up.

But, Jason, I mean, they're
talking about full tenure.

I mean, I could be a
full professor at Yale.

That's incredible. Um...

But I just re-upped
my lease on the shop.

I know.

Lindsay, this is
amazing news, for you,

but I just asked
you to marry me,

and it sounds like you suddenly wanna
walk away from everything we have here.

Okay.

That's not really fair.
It's not?

This is huge for me, Jason.

What about us? There
can still be an us.

In Connecticut.

I don't... Wow... (CHUCKLES)

This really did not go the
way I thought it would,

I have to say.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, here. Just...
You can take this.

Keep it. Or sell it.
Or throw it away.

I just... I don't want it. I
don't want to see it ever again.

(GASPS)

Jason, will you...

Jason.

(LINE RINGING)

JASON: Hey, you've reached me.
You know what to do.

Jason. Please just call me back.

(DIALING)

(LINE RINGING)

ZUZU ON TV: Look, Daddy.

Teacher says, "Every time a bell
rings, an angel gets his wings."

(PHONE RINGING) GEORGE: That's right.
That's right.

(MUSIC STOPS ON TV)

Hey, baby. I was wondering when
I was gonna hear from you.

Hey, Mom.

What happened? Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm okay.

You don't sound fine.

What's going on?

Well, you were right. Um...

Jason proposed tonight.

And what did you say?

Well, I didn't say the one word
he was hoping I would say.

Okay.

You wanna tell me
what's going on?

(SOBS)

Why did it have to be tonight?

Honey, where are you?

I don't know what to do.

Lindsay, you need to come home.

I'm... Mom, I'm sorry I called.
I'm gonna go now, okay?

Honey, don't go.

(PHONE BEEPS)

(SCOFFS)

(SIGHS)

(CAR ALARM BEEPS)

(NEIGHING)

(EXCLAIMING) Whoa!

(SNORTING)

COACHMAN NICK: Hey.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

I was taking Mistletoe back to the stable.
We had some latecomers.

They wanted a ride,

and so now it's way past
our bedtime, I'm afraid.

(LAUGHS)

I didn't know they did
carriage rides out here.

Oh, yeah, every Christmas.
Kids love it.

I mean, it would be better if
I had the use of a sleigh,

but what can I tell you, welcome
to the Pacific Northwest.

Yeah.

Pulling a sleigh without any snow is
no fun, especially for Mistletoe.

(NEIGHING SOFTLY)

Oh, look at that. She likes you.

(CHUCKLES)

She only likes nice people,
so you must be nice.

(CHUCKLES)

Something tells me
she likes everyone.

Busted. (CHUCKLES)

You look like you could
use a carriage ride.

That's all right. I'm fine.

No, come on. Don't be afraid.

Besides, Mistletoe and I
would enjoy your company.

It's okay. It'll
be an adventure.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Okay.

Could you adventure me
up to the parking lot?

Of course. I'd love
to be of service.

Hop in. Thanks.

All right, Mistletoe,
off to the races.

Rough night?

It started out great.

One of the best
nights of my life.

What happened?

My boyfriend proposed to me.

Boy. That's... Monumental.

Yeah.

I also got an
incredible job offer.

One I never imagined
in a million years.

Whoa! Two proposals
on the same night.

Yeah, I guess you could
put it that way.

You're at a real crossroads.

COACHMAN NICK: Funny, isn't it?

Some decisions aren't
as simple as we think.

LINDSAY: I just had this exact
conversation with my students.

You're a teacher?
Down at Harborview.

So, what did you tell your kids?

I asked them to consider
the big questions in life.

You know, to ask themselves
what's really important.

Oh, that sounds
like good advice.

Ah!

You'll figure it out.

Sometimes, all you need...

Is a little time.

Will you look at that?

Whoa!

It looks like the
Northern lights.

Whoa!

Did you see...

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

What?

Seriously?

Professor Rogers.

Hey. I don't believe it.

Hi. Come here. Hi.

Hi. Hi, Ryan. You
remember my name?

You remember my name.
That is so cool.

Welcome back to town.

What's going on?
What do you mean?

I mean... (STUTTERING)

What is this?

Wait, do you not like it?

I can change it.

I don't understand...

I have...

I should go home. Okay.

Okay. Uh...

Are you kidding me?

Jason opened a second shop?

(BELL DINGING)

BECCA: Be right with you.

Becca, what is going on?

What is this?

Lindsay?

What are you doing here? What do
you mean what am I doing here?

I was just walking
down the street,

and then I saw a new shop that Jason
opened that I didn't know anything about.

Huh?

Did Jason open a new
shop without telling me?

Have you gone mental?

Is Jason here? No.

Okay, well, if you
hear from him,

can you tell him that I
need to talk to him now?

Look, he's up in Bellingham.

We're just about to
open another shop.

He's not in Bellingham, Becca. I just
saw him a little while ago at Ginos.

No.

Look, I don't know who
you saw at Ginos,

but I just talked to him a
little while ago myself.

Jason is in Bellingham,
opening up our third store.

(SCOFFS) Third store?

Look, I don't know what it
is that you're doing here,

but it's not amusing, all right?

You take off for years and then
just conveniently pop up now?

(SIGHS)

(POUNDING ON DOOR) Mom!

(KNOCKING)

Mom, my key isn't working!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, wake up!

Mom! What do you
think you're doing?

Have you lost your mind?

Mrs. Jamison. My
key isn't working.

Are you drunk or something?

Is this some kind of a joke?
Is this supposed to be funny?

I'm sorry... Stop
shouting like a banshee.

I'll call the sheriff.

I just... I can't
wake my mom up.

Can't imagine why not.

What's the matter with you?
She's been gone for two years.

You become some kind
of nutjob back east?

(STAMMERS) What?

And where were you when
she had her heart attack?

Huh?

(STUTTERS) What are
you talking about?

Go on, then. Keep on banging.

You'll just have to explain it all
to the deputies when they come.

Mom!

Mom, wake up!

Lindsay?

Grandpa.

Is that you?

Are you my Christmas present?

Ah!

You should have warned
me you were coming.

Warned you?

I just saw you a few hours ago.

I beg your pardon?

Well, when you gave
me this dress.

Honey, are you okay?

That was three years ago.

(GASPS)

Here you go.

Oh! (SNIFFLES)

Ooh, thanks. This'll
warm you up in no time.

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

(EXHALES)

You really don't remember
about your mother?

I swear I saw her, literally,
like, a few hours ago.

I can't believe she's dead.

What?

She's not dead.

She's not? No.

Good grief.

She's in Sweden.

Wait. Sweden? Sure.

After her heart attack, Dr.
Gustaf swept her off her feet.

Love at first sight.

How could you forget this?

I honestly don't know.

That's the craziest
thing I've ever heard.

Turns out, three of her arteries
were completely blocked.

Thank goodness she met Stefan.

The only drawback was that
after they were married,

he decided to take
her to Stockholm.

(CHUCKLES)

I think I'm losing my mind.

I certainly don't think
you're losing your mind.

I mean, I don't know what
other explanation there is.

I don't know...

Time travel?

(CHUCKLES)

Could I have amnesia?

That probably makes a little
more sense than time travel.

I think I must be having
a psychotic break.

I think what you need is
a good night's sleep.

You get some rest,

and I'm sure everything will look
a lot better in the morning.

Hmm... (INHALES DEEPLY)

Thank you.

Love you.

(ALARM CLOCK RINGING)

(GASPS)

Good morning, Grandpa.

Morning.

(CHUCKLES)

(MOANING) Hmm...

(CHUCKLES)

I see you found the clothes
I left out for you.

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

How you feeling?

Any better?

Did last night really happen?

I'm afraid so.

Sorry.

I tried calling your mom,

but Astrid, she's
your step-sister,

said that she was out
running errands.

We'll try calling later.

WOMAN: Good morning.
MAN: Good morning.

I don't remember anything.

I don't remember
anything about Yale.

Would you mind telling when exactly
I supposedly moved to Connecticut?

After Christmas time.

That was three years ago.

(EXHALES) So I just up and left?

Mmm-hmm.

I mean, your mom
came and saw you.

That was a few weeks
before she had her attack.

And then she met some
doctor and she left?

He's an awful nice guy.

It's my considered and professional opinion
that I've officially lost my mind.

I think you'd better
take me to a hospital.

I don't know. (CHUCKLES)

I may not be the sharpest
crayon in the box,

but it seems to me,

committing yourself
might not be so great

for a famous
psychology professor.

Yeah, but, sometimes, a person needs
to know when to ask for help.

Okay. Just tell me.

Well, what would
you like to know?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Well, I can see his
business is doing well.

I mean, he opened a
second location.

But how's he?

Do you see him at all? GRANDPA
BOB: From time to time.

Ran into him a few months ago.

LINDSAY: And?

What?

Well... Uh...

He had some news.

What?

He's getting married.

I've met her, in fact.

She works with him
at the coffee shop.

(SIGHS)

Seems like a nice girl.

Not as nice as you, obviously,

but they seem happy.

I think he said they were getting
married over the holidays.

Well, let's go.

There's no sign of trauma.

And you say you're not on any
prescription drugs or sedatives?

No. Never.

DOCTOR: This is not
really my field,

but retrograde amnesia, the damage
is usually caused by head trauma,

or a stroke, or tumor, and I don't
see anything like that here.

That's good news, right? Well...

Dissociative amnesia is
psychological in nature,

and I'm thinking that
might be more the case.

Yeah. That's what I'm
wondering about.

Still, I think we should wait for
the blood panels to come back.

Is it something that disappears?

Goes away in time?

Retrograde amnesia is
usually temporary, right?

I mean, that's my recollection.

(LAUGHS)

The recollection of an amnesiac.

Now, that's called irony.

(CHUCKLING) Uh... Sorry.

If that's even what it is,
yes, it can be temporary.

But what if that's
not what it is?

Well, let's take
it step by step.

Why don't you try and rest
for the next few days?

We'll re-evaluate and
see how you are then.

See if anything
comes back to you.

Let's go get some lunch.

I think I need to go for a walk.

I'll see you later on.

Excuse me?

Hi. Could you tell me where they
run the carriage rides out of?

You must be at the
wrong park, miss.

Horses are not allowed here.

No, I mean the guy who runs the
carriage rides for Christmas?

I've worked here
close to 30 years.

I never heard of anyone
giving carriage rides.

No. It was literally right...
Right there.

I met him. He was very astute.

Could have been three years ago?

Nope. Not ever.

Okay, thank you.

Sorry to... I'm sorry
to bother you.

What is going on?

(LINDSAY GROANS)

MAN: Is she okay?

I don't know.

WOMAN: Come on, kids. We need to go.
Sorry.

MAN: Come on.

It's all fine.

Don't mind me. I'm
having a total meltdown.

Other than that, it's all good.

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

(MAN CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Is this your car?
(CAR ALARM BEEPS)

Sorry.

I, uh... I think your tire
might be a little low.

Maybe you should get it checked.

They look happy, don't they?

Yeah.

MAN: Merry Christmas.

Lindsay?

Lindsay?

Lindsay, wait! Where
are you going?

Lindsay.

Where are you going? (LAUGHS)

Hey. Jason, hi.

Hi. How are you?

What was that? Nothing.

I, um...

I saw you were busy, so I didn't
wanna, you know, interrupt.

When did you get to town?

Sorry, I shouldn't have come.

I'm just... I can't
believe you're...

You're here.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Congrats on the business.

I see you're expanding.

Yeah, we're doing okay,
but what about you?

Best-selling book and everything.
That's huge.

I hear you're getting married.

Yeah. Yeah. We're finally
going to tie the knot.

In just a couple days, actually.

Um... (CLICKS TONGUE)

Listen, I would invite you
in for a second, but...

No. Of course. No, I get it.

You kind of freaked
Becca out last night.

Yeah. I was just surprised
to see the new shop.

Just tell her I'm sorry.

I will. (CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

I'm gonna go. Okay.

I've got so much to do, so...
Yeah. I bet.

Well, it's good to see you.
Yeah. You, too.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. I don't... Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Bye.

Hey, Lindsay? Uh...

How long are you in town?

I honestly don't know.

If there's one thing I can
absolutely, positively tell you,

it's that I don't know.

Well, congratulations
on the book, you know.

You knew what you wanted,
and you made it happen.

You did good.

(EXHALES)

(PHONE RINGING)

It's for you.

Who is it? I don't know.

Hello? There you are. Finally.

I have been trying
everywhere to reach you.

I'm sorry, who is this?

What do you mean, "Who is this?"

I talked to the folks at
the University Press.

They couldn't get ahold of you.

No one on the faculty
has heard from you,

and your agent is
completely clueless.

Dean Jackman?

I'm sorry, are you
trying to be cute?

Is this you being cute?

'Cause you, my friend, should know
by now that I do not do cute.

Sorry.

Okay, so, do you think
you can explain to me

why I had to track you down using your
emergency contacts in Washington,

when they have you booked on

all the morning shows on
the East Coast next week?

Wait, what?

Really? Yes, really.

Did we not discuss this?

I'm sorry. I just have had some
personal stuff I've been dealing with.

Grandpa, I'm supposed
to be on TV next week.

(CHUCKLES)

So, does this mean that my
book is really a bestseller?

Look, I told you,
I don't do cute.

Now, the University
Press said that

this quarter's royalties
were wired to your account.

Like, how much money
are we talking?

I believe just over two million.

(GASPS AND CHUCKLES)

Two million dollars?

Is everything okay, Lindsay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm great, I just...

Why haven't you been returning
my emails or my calls?

My...

I don't have my computer
and my phone is broken.

What on Earth? How
did you manage that?

Everything got lost or
damaged in my trip.

Go buy yourself some new stuff.

I don't have my purse, either.
Seriously?

Um, do you have any ID?

Nope, nothing.

Okay, we might be able to get
someone to send you a faculty ID.

And your passport.

Because I need you back here
in New Haven, in three days.

Three days? Yes, and listen,

when I told the folks down in
publishing that you might be back home,

they wanted me to ask if you
know Munro's Books in Seattle.

Yeah. I've heard of it.

Okay, well, since you're there,

they would be thrilled if
you could do a signing.

They'll just add it to
their big Christmas push.

I'm gonna have someone set
that up for you, okay?

Okay, great, yeah.

Um, when? They
suggested tomorrow.

We'll tell them 1:00.

I'll have a car sent
to your grandfather's.

Cool. Great.

Dean...

So, it turns out I have
two million dollars.

Well, if that's a problem...

You can give it to me.

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

BECCA: So, the service
should be over around 4:00,

we'll do the photos until 5:00,

and then it's on to Ginos.

There was this huge problem
with the floral arrangements,

but Gino got it all sorted out for
us, and now we're good to go.

Hello?

Jason, did you hear me? Sorry.

Yeah, got it.

You okay?

Of course.

So, we're good?

Absolutely.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah, why wouldn't I be? Why?

Nothing, I just, uh...

(CHUCKLES) I'm sorry,
am I imagining things?

I just feel your energy's
been a little bit off lately.

Energy?

Okay, look, to be honest, I
have been thinking, you know,

was Ginos the best choice?

(CHUCKLES)

Jason, what are you talking about?
You chose Ginos.

Yeah, I know, I realize that,
but, I don't know, I just...

I worry that maybe
it's not big enough.

You want to do that now?

You know, it's
pretty last-minute.

I don't know if
we're going to find

another place and... You
know, you're right.

You're right, you're right.

Dumb idea, never mind.

Hey.

This is about her.

What? No, it's not.

Come on, Jason, you haven't been yourself
from the moment I told you she was in town.

Come on, that's not true. I...

Yes, it is, and it's okay.

All right, I get it, you
have a history with Lindsay.

All right? She broke your heart.

And now, all of a
sudden, she's back.

Listen, I'm sorry if I've
been distracted, okay?

But I promise you,
that's all it is.

I love you.

I'm gonna marry you.

And whatever Lindsay and I
had, it's ancient history.

Ancient history?

Okay, well,

I would just like you
to go and talk to her.

What? Please?

I don't need to... Please?

Come on, just do it for me.

Because when we are
standing by that altar,

I have to know that it is
me that you're thinking of.

Okay?

Not the one that got away.

Okay, yeah.

(KNOCKING)

(LINDSAY GASPS)

RICHARD: Dr. Rogers? Hi.

Good morning. My
name is Richard,

and I'm here to take you
down to Munro's Books.

Okay, great. Do you
want to come in?

I'm going to be a few minutes.

Uh, that's all right,
I'll wait by the car.

But I was, however,
instructed to hand you these.

Wow! (CHUCKLES)

Uh, okay. Great. Thank you.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Look at you!

Do you see this blouse?

Three-hundred dollars. Still
had the price tag on it.

Whoa! (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES)

I mean, am I dreaming?

This is real life, right?

Looks real to me.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(CHUCKLES)

Okay, seriously?

I must say, it's a real
honor to meet you.

I read your book,

and it really changed my
perspective on things.

Oh, thank you.

JASON: Lindsay.

Hey.

This is a surprise.

Yeah, sorry, I would've called you,
but I don't have your number anymore.

That's okay.

Um...

Can I talk to you for a second?

Okay.

Over here.

I just... I never felt good
about how we left things.

Does it matter? I mean, you and
Becca are getting married.

I think some closure
would be good.

Don't you?

Closure, right.

RICHARD: Excuse me, miss?

I'm sorry, but if we're
going to get there on time,

we must really be on our way.

Right, of course.
I'll be right there.

I'm sorry, I have to go
do this thing in Seattle,

but maybe we can, I don't
know, talk when I get back?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Okay.

Actually, you know, would it be
okay if I brought along a guest?

Oh, of course, miss,
whatever you wish.

Okay. Hey, maybe we
could talk on the way,

if you want to come with me?

It's okay if you
don't, I understand.

No, that'd be great.

I mean, it's not like
they can fire me

if I don't show up for work, right?
So...

(CHUCKLES)

Okay. Yeah.

Thank you. JASON: Thanks.

JASON: This is how you're rolling, huh?
(LINDSAY CHUCKLES)

LINDSAY: All this is for us?

Yes, miss, help yourself
to anything you'd like.

(CHUCKLES)

Can you believe this?
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

Okay, so, um, closure...

Well, look, I just feel
like if we hurt each other,

maybe we can take some
responsibility now and move on.

I mean, it's about time, right?

Yeah, uh, it doesn't seem
that long ago to me.

Really?

But, um, it was a
monumental choice,

and you didn't really give
me a chance to work it out.

When I visited you at Yale, it definitely
felt like you had worked it out.

I don't remember that.

Selective memory.

No, I mean, I literally
don't recall...

Never mind.

Well, you had, like,
bought furniture.

You had plants and everything.

It was like you were all
settled in, you know?

And let's be real, you
didn't come back.

You asked me to marry you right after
I was given the chance of a lifetime.

I had just hoped that I was going to
be the chance of a lifetime for you.

(SIGHS)

Have you read it?

It's amazing, isn't it?

I couldn't put it
down, honestly.

(KNOCKING ON GLASS)

Hey. Shall we start in five?

Oh, hey, thank you
so much for coming.

It's so exciting
having you here.

You should see the
line-up, down the block.

I'm gonna have to lock the door.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(EXHALES)

You all right?

I am so not ready for this.

Are you kidding?

This crowd will be nothing compared
to your Ivy League classes.

Look, don't be nervous.

Oh, I'm not nervous.

I think I'd describe it as abject terror.
Seriously?

Hey, look, remember sixth grade?

Yeah. End-of-year play?

Oh, no, don't do that.
The Wizard of Oz?

No, don't do it. Oh,
I'm gonna do it.

No, really, don't do it.

"What makes the
Hottentot so hot?"

(LAUGHING) You're so bad at...

"Who puts the 'ape'
in ape-ricot?"

You haven't gotten any better.

You haven't gotten any better.

"What do they got
that I ain't got?"

(CHUCKLES)

Courage. Courage!

See? You know.

So just go on out there and
summon that inner courage.

"What makes the elephant charge his tusk
in the misty mist or the dusky dusk?"

Okay! I don't know
what I'm going to say,

but I'm leaving, just
to get away from you.

Hey, just suck up to the
audience, you know.

Thank them for coming, and then
just throw it open to questions

and see what happens.

Okay, but what if nobody
asks me anything?

(EXHALES) Okay.

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)

So, without further delay,

it is my great pleasure to introduce to
you our special guest this afternoon,

Dr. Lindsay Rogers!

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you. Thanks.
It's very kind.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you.

Uh... (CHUCKLES)

So, uh, first off, I want to,
um, thank you all for coming.

I'm very honored that there's
so many of you, so thank you.

So, today, I figure, since
we put this together fast,

maybe we could open the
floor to some questions?

Maybe there's some things that
you want me to talk about.

Um, sure, yeah, how about we start
with that man there in the back?

Oh, uh, me?

You mean the handsome and charming man
you've known since the sixth grade,

but who, in no way, could
be considered a plant?

(ALL LAUGH)

Yeah, sure.

If the handsome and charming man that
I've known since the sixth grade,

but who, in no way, could be
considered a plant, has a question,

go for it. Great.

Uh, well, it's not in the book,
but I happen to know that

you and your parents
are very close,

and even though your father
is no longer with us,

I know they had a
deep impact on you.

Would you say that they inspired you to
write a book about becoming inspired?

See what I did there? Inspired
about being inspired?

Yeah, thank you. I caught
it the first time.

(CHUCKLES)

Actually, I love that question.

You know, this is the time
of year when we're all asked

to consider the
importance of goodwill,

but for my parents, every
day was like Christmas.

They found joy in
service and in giving.

They never won any fancy awards,

and they didn't get
much recognition,

but, man, did they
affect people.

My dad, John, was
a social worker.

He was what I would term a
"compassionate empath."

"Everyone deserves kindness."

Those were his words.

And my mom, Shannon,

well, I think I was about five

when she told me that her job was
to help children climb mountains.

I was probably 10 when I realized that
she was actually a history teacher.

(ALL CHUCKLE) But
now, here I am,

helping people climb their
own metaphorical mountains.

And then there's my
grandfather, Robert.

Always with a smile,

and always with a gentle
word of encouragement.

He taught me what it means
to love unconditionally.

And that, in itself,
is truly inspiring.

All right, anyone
else with questions?

(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

WOMAN: Can you make
it out to Joan?

There you go. Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Dr. Rogers!

It's me, Ally.

I am so excited to see you here.

Yeah, hi! How... How are you?

I am doing amazingly.

Good. I'm really happy to hear that.
Oh, yeah.

Taking your course last
year changed my life.

I mean, sure, Dad's
super-upset I dropped out

of the MBA program at Yale.
Oh, boy.

But my mom, she is just
so happy to hear that

I've decided to be
true to myself.

Good, well, you know, that's
what's important, so...

Yeah, I know, right?

I'm pursuing cosmetology.

Ah.

Did I know that's what
you were interested in?

Yeah. I mean, I
like to think of it

as giving people more
confidence in themselves.

Just like you taught.

(CHUCKLES)

Do you remember that essay that
I wrote for you last year?

You know, the one that you
read the whole class?

The essay. Yeah, the essay.

It was so good. (BOTH LAUGH)

Do you remember what
you said to me?

Well, I mean, I don't
remember the exact wording.

Oh, man, it changed
my perspective.

I mean, it gave me the
confidence that I needed

to just, you know,
make that decision.

Right. Right, right.
Right. Yeah.

Could you inscribe it
for me in the book?

Uh... (SIGHS)

You don't need me to
validate you anymore.

Oh, but it meant so much.

Please?

I mean, I don't remember
the exact wording.

I'm sorry, I couldn't
help but overhear.

Lindsay's an old friend of mine,

and I just love to
hear these stories.

What was it that she said?

She just said... She said,

"Be brave, be bold, live the
life you were born to live.

"There is no higher peak
than self-enlightenment."

Just genius.

She's so good. Yeah.

(JASON CHUCKLES)

There you go. Thank you so much.

You're so welcome. Could
you take our photo?

Yeah. Okay.

Thanks. Okay. One, two, three.
"Inspired!"

Yeah. Thank you.

Okay. See you later.

Wow!

Well... (LAUGHING)

Oh, my gosh.

Okay, I think I can safely say that I would
have crashed and burned without you here.

My whole writing career,
professional success, over.

No.

Well, yeah, probably.

Yeah, definitely.

Just kidding.

Well, thank you.

I'm... I'm just...
I'm glad you came.

(LINDSAY LAUGHING)

JASON: All the way up, all
the way up, all the way up,

and the rest for you. LINDSAY:
And the rest is for me.

That's enough, that's
enough, that's enough.

Just topper-upper. A
little more for you.

Yeah, well.

All right. Cheers.

Cheers. (CLINKING)

(CHUCKLES)

To our successes.

This is clearly the life that
you were supposed to live.

You're happy, right?

(STUTTERING)

What? What? I...

I... You're getting married!

I know. It's like...

Cheers. Yeah, cheers.

I never imagined that
you and Becca...

But you're happy, right?

I mean, you're really, you're...
You're happy with her?

Yeah, of course.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, that's all I ever
really wanted for you, so...

That's all I wanted
for you, too.

What about you?

Is there a guy?

(STUTTERING)

No? Really?

Well, I mean, I'm sure
I've dated, but, um...

Well, I mean, there's no
ring here on this finger,

so I guess I'm still single.

Guys on the East Coast
are clearly crazy then.

They don't know a good
thing when they see it.

Can you stop the car, please?

Can you just pull over?
LINDSAY: What?

JASON: I just... I'm
sorry, but I should go.

Wait. Wait. Sorry.

Congratulations on everything.
You really deserve it.

Wait. RICHARD: Ma'am?

Are we going? I just... Sorry.
Just hold on. Wait.

Jason!

(SIGHS)

Jason?

Jason, would you hold on?

No, I...

I'm just... (CHUCKLES)

Listen, I'm just gonna...
I'm gonna call Becca to...

LINDSAY: Please don't do that.

I... It's been years,
and you show up now?

It wasn't intentional. I'm sure.

Jason, I just found
out about all this.

I'm sorry that I
hurt you, all right?

I'm sorry that I showed up at
the worst possible moment,

but I'm kind of having a hard time
wrapping my head around all this.

It's a lot to take in.

One day, you ask
me to marry you,

and the next day, you're
marrying someone else.

Life moves on for all of us.

What if I can't
move on that fast?

What does that mean? How do you
expect me to respond to that?

Jason, wait. How
did this happen?

Can we not do this?

I'd rather not rehash Yale.

Well, obviously, we
didn't resolve it.

I don't know what
you want me to say.

Do you want me to apologize?

I admit I was not very understanding
when we saw each other,

but I was angry.

No, I was furious.

Look, it's yesterday's
news, right?

So, you fell for Becca.

Becca is an amazing woman.

She's been the best
thing in my life.

We share the same passions.

She's been my rock.

And unlike some people, who
shall remain nameless,

she didn't run away and move
clear across the country

when I asked her to spend the
rest of her life with me,

so that was a
definite improvement.

I never wanted to say no to you.

Yes, you did. You just
didn't want to admit it.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello? BILL: Oh, hi, Jason.

It's Bill here.

Hi, I am so sorry,
I totally spaced.

Oh, but you're coming?
Yeah, wait there.

I'm on my way.

I, um... I got to go.
What's wrong?

I'm supposed to meet the
plumber at the cafe.

Well, let me drop you off.

I show up in a limo, the guy's sure
to gouge me more than he is already.

Jason, he is waiting, I've got a car.
Come on.

We can ditch it
when we get closer.

Okay, thanks.

Perfect. Thanks.

All right, Bill.

LINDSAY: Jason, it looks
so great in here.

(CHUCKLES) Thanks.

I think so.

But you know what my
favorite part is?

It's the people.

Yeah, I know, it sounds
hokey, but it's true.

I love the people that we serve.

Our regulars, you know, they
start to feel like family.

I love hearing about Millie
O'Doyle's latest escapade

with her French Bulldog, Pierre.

(CHUCKLES)

And I am completely invested
in Tim Ludwig's son,

Ritchie, getting
into law school.

This is where he studies.

And then, remember
Cassie Wilder?

I mean, she's always got some
ridiculous story about online dating.

She's hilarious.

Every once in a while, you know,
we get some jerk in here,

but when we do, I just remind myself that
Millie and Pierre will be back soon.

You're an amazing guy, Jason.

Life would have been an
incredible adventure with you.

Becca is a very lucky woman. No.

I'm getting the better
part of that deal...

No, I mean it. I really...
Trust me.

You have no idea how much...

It's okay.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Right.

Why didn't you ask
me to go with you?

It felt like you were asking me to
choose between my life and yours.

I don't know, I wish I could do
it all over again, you know?

I mean, I...

(SIGHS) I don't...

Lindsay, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, so maybe we better
cancel Ginos after all.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

(BELL JANGLING)

JASON: Okay, like, two minutes.

Less.

Wait!

Wait, listen, I...

I really have to be with Becca,

right now. Of course.

Of course.

So, uh... I'm gonna go now.

Yeah, okay.

I'm gonna go, too.

Okay.

Just tell me one thing.

If I had asked you to come with
me, what would have happened?

Where would our lives be now?

(SIGHS)

I guess we'll never
know, will we?

(SOBBING)

GRANDPA BOB: Got everything?
(LINDSAY CHUCKLES)

ID?

Keys to your house?

Yup. It's all here in the package
that Dean Jackman sent me.

And you have your address?

They have a car picking
me up from the airport.

I'm sorry I have to go. Hey, my
Christmas is complete this year.

I got to see you in person.

And in a few days, I
get to see you on TV.

(HORN HONKING)

Why can't a person have it all?

Who says you can't?

I have to say,

I'm a pretty lucky man.
(CHUCKLES)

I had a beautiful wife,

a wonderful daughter,

a granddaughter I couldn't
be more proud of.

(CHUCKLES)

So, no regrets?

Maybe.

Some, I suppose.

But no point on dwelling
on them, though.

I mean, just look at Mrs.
Jamison.

What about her? GRANDPA BOB: There's
a woman filled with regrets.

She was a dancer, you
know, when she was young.

I didn't know that.

Then she met Bill Jamison.

Fell in love, got married.

He didn't want her working.

Then he died when
she was about 30.

That creates unhappiness.

A lifetime of what-ifs and
what-could-have-beens.

No good.

Thanks.

I don't want to go.

You've got to give it a try.

Maybe when you get home,
it'll all come back to you.

(HORN HONKING) Uh...

Go.

You're gonna miss your plane.

(ENGINE TURNING OVER)

Thank you.

(SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(CHUCKLING)

The Dalai Lama?

How can I forget meeting
the Dalai Lama?

(CHUCKLES)

(POUNDING ON DOOR)

(BELL RINGING)

(POUNDING ON DOOR)

(GASPS)

(POUNDING ON DOOR)

I'm coming!

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Hey. What are you wearing?
Hello.

Ashley Noon and The Noon Show
will be here any minute!

(GROANS) Um, okay.

Did you pick out one of the Christmas
dresses like you promised?

Sorry, I guess it must
have slipped my mind.

I've been out of town.

I knew it. Come on.

Makeup and hair are
right behind me,

and we have to pick out a Christmas
dress for this afternoon as well.

What would you do without me?

Who are you, again?

(LAUGHS) Yeah, funny. Yeah.

MAN: It's in the shot?
MAN 2: Okay, we're good.

Just lower it right into the shot.
Right between them.

Okay, do we have a line there?

All right, everybody,
let's get out of the way.

In five, four, three, two...

It's the more profound
goals in our lives

that often get lost in favor of the
immediacy of our day-to-day desires.

You see, Ashley, most of us
have stopped asking ourselves

what it is that we truly want.

Well, I know what I want.

I want to know,

how does a person who has
truly found inspiration

plan on celebrating
the holiday season?

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Um...

That's a really good question.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

WOMAN: Hi, Sheila.

MAN: One more, please.

There she is.

Merry Christmas! ALL: Yay!

WOMAN: Yes, that's right!

MAN: Merry Christmas
goes to you.

Well, it's always great.

MAN: Hey, hey, hey,
how are you all?

Hey.

What happened to the chipper,
happy Lindsay Rogers?

Sorry? Come on,
it's Christmas Eve.

Are you okay?

Well, come tell Dr. Cesares about that
cute astrophysicist you met in Paris.

I wish I could.

DEAN JACKMAN: Lindsay.

Can I steal her for a sec?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.

You look lovely.

Oh, thank you so much.

I am about to give you

the best Christmas present
you could ever ask for.

You are? Mmm-hmm.

How does tenure sound to you?

Tenure?

(SCOFFS) Really?

Mmm-hmm.

(PHONE CHIMES) Oh.

Go ahead.

It's from Stockholm.
Go ahead, take it.

Sorry.

(PHONE CHIMES)

SHANNON: Merry
Christmas, my darling.

Merry Christmas, Mom.

God Jul, Lindsay!

Oh, yeah. God bless you, too.

(SHANNON LAUGHS)

God Jul means "Merry
Christmas," honey.

Right, right.

So you're spending the
holidays with your friends?

I'm at a party.

Well, it's already
Christmas morning here,

and we've been opening our
presents, having a lovely time.

Wishing you were here.

I wish you were here, Mom.

What is it, honey? What's wrong?

(STUTTERS) Nothing.

What could be wrong? I'm...

Everything's great.

I think I just got tenure.

(GASPS)

Oh, my goodness.

Stefan, Lindsay got tenure!

Of course she did.

Honey, I am beyond thrilled.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's
a dream come true.

So why doesn't it sound like it?

I'm...

I'm so proud of all this,

but it feels like I'm
making a mistake.

I just want to go back.

To Washington?

Oh, you know your grandfather
would sure love to have you.

No.

No, I don't mean that.

What have you told me 100 times?

"An inspired life starts with being
truthful with yourself," isn't that it?

Yeah, but...

What if when you're
truthful with yourself,

you can't get what you want?

What if it's impossible?

Impossible?

Honey, look around you.

Now is the time of year for the
impossible to become possible.

It's Christmas.

Magic is in the air.
Magic's in the air.

LINDSAY: Thank you.

Thanks!

Grandpa!

Grandpa! You came back!

(LAUGHS)

Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

Ah! (EXHALES HEAVILY)

(CHUCKLES)

Wait, what do you remember?

I remember what's important.

That's my girl!

Can I borrow your car keys?

Oh, you...

Hi, sorry.

(NEIGHING)

Ho-ho-whoa, baby. Whoa!

Whoa!

Easy, girl.

I had a feeling I'd
find you here tonight.

(NEIGHS)

I talked to one of
the groundskeepers.

He said he's never heard of anybody
giving out carriage rides here,

and he's worked here for years.

So I'm asking you, who are you?

(STUTTERING) I'm...

(SCOFFS)

Why don't you think of
me as someone who cares?

That's all.

Really? Are you serious?

Yeah. That's all you're
going to give me?

What did you do to me?

(SIGHS)

You look like someone who
could use a carriage ride.

Yeah, I don't think so.

Oh, come on, don't be afraid.
Come on up here.

Besides, Mistletoe and I
would enjoy your company.

Step up there, Mistletoe.

(CLICKING TONGUE)

LINDSAY: Okay, so talk.

Please.

And please don't give me any of
this "someone who cares" business.

COACHMAN NICK: (STAMMERING) I
don't know what you want from me.

LINDSAY: Oh, come on, I
don't want to play games.

I just...

I need your help, okay?

Of course. What
can I do for you?

I don't know, maybe filling me in on
three years of memories or something?

Funny how life can be.

Sometimes

all you need is
little perspective.

Whoa!

Am I going crazy or something,

or did this happen the
last time I saw you?

Whoa!

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Whoa!

That's exactly what
happened last time.

(LAUGHING)

Please be there, please be
there, please be there.

(LAUGHING) Yes!

Yes! (CAR ALARM BEEPS)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLING)

(GASPS)

Ryan! I just...
Professor Rogers, hey.

Gosh, I love what you've done
with your window display.

Okay.

You know what I love most about it?
It's full of books.

Lots and lots of
different books.

Do you know this
is a book store?

And the best thing is not
one of them is mine.

You wrote a book?

I did, but it's not here,
and it's not a bestseller.

That's a good thing?

Yes.

See you.

Oh, have a Merry
Christmas, Ryan.

Just have the merriest
Christmas ever.

See you next semester! Bye!

Merry Christmas. Bye, bye!

(CHUCKLES)

(CHUCKLES)

I'm home.

(CHUCKLES)

SHANNON: Honey?

Honey, you had us so worried.

(SIGHS)

Sweetie, it's okay.

It's all gonna work
out, you'll see.

If you don't want to marry
Jason, you don't marry Jason.

Mom, it's okay.

I love you so much.

I never tell you that enough.

Grandpa!

(EXCLAIMS) Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

You okay there?

Yeah.

Did I ever tell you that
you're one of the finest men

I've ever known?

Ah!

I think you've
just given us both

about the best Christmas present
anyone could ever ask for.

(CHUCKLING)

Now, Grandpa. Yeah?

Do you want to know what
we're going to do on Monday?

We're taking this wonderful
woman to see the doctor.

What? Yeah.

You've been having dizzy spells.

You keep saying that it's
nothing, but it's not.

I'm fine. No, Mom.

It's nothing to worry about. No.

You have a problem, so we're going to
take you to see a specialist, okay?

Specialist? Yeah.

And I know just the perfect one.

His name is Dr. Stefan Gustaf,

and trust me, you're
going to love him.

Now I have to go.

There's someone
else I have to see.

I love you. God Jul.

God Jul?

Dr. Stefan Gustaf?

(CHUCKLES) I don't know.

Sounds foreign to me.

(CHUCKLES)

(RUMBLING)

Good evening, Mrs. Jamison!

Don't see what's
so good about it.

(CHUCKLES) Do you need help? No!

I didn't think so, but I wanted to
wish you a Merry Christmas anyways.

Eh!

Oh... Mrs. Jamison?

What is it? Can't
you see I'm busy?

I was wondering if you
might be available

to come over and have
Christmas dinner with us?

If you're free, that is,
'cause we'd love to have you.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, and did you know that they're doing
The Nutcracker down at McCaw Hall?

I understand that you
used to be a dancer,

and I was going to get tickets,

and I would just love if
you could come with me.

(CHUCKLING) No,
no, don't say no.

Merry Christmas.

(CLATTERING)

(SIGHS)

(PHONE CHIMES)

(PHONE CHIMES)

(PHONE CHIMES)

(KNOCKING ON GLASS)

Can I help you?

Scusate, scusi, scusi, scusi...

(SPEAKING ITALIAN)

What?

You got a kitchen in this place?

Yeah, yeah, it's
just right here.

But would somebody mind
telling me what's going on?

Don't ask me, ask la signorina.

Jason, this has been... Is...

I mean, it will be the most
amazing Christmas of my life.

Is that right? Yeah.

I was super-confused, but
then I met this guy,

and there was Mistletoe,

and he took me for this ride...

Wait, what?

Never mind. Listen,
I'm not going to lie.

There are things that I
want to do with my life,

and Yale and publishing
a book are part of it.

And I don't want to have
to throw that all away.

But, Jason, any
success that I have,

and I will be successful, it won't
matter if I can't share it with you.

So if you'll still have me,

if you still want to marry me, and you
still want to give me this ring, then...

Then my answer is yes.

Can I ask you a question? Yeah.

This strange and mysterious
"Yale" of which you speak,

you think they have
coffee shops there?

(CHUCKLES)

We can google it, but I'm
pretty sure they do.

Okay then, can I propose that
you just accept this ring?

Why don't we get married, and why
don't I look into selling this place,

and maybe opening
something in Connecticut?

Okay, let's do that.
On one condition.

If we ever have a child,

and that child asks us
how we got engaged,

can we please just tell them that I
popped the question and you said, "Yes"?

Yeah. I can live with that.

(BOTH CHUCKLE AND MOAN)

Let's eat! (SIGHS) Ah!

All right! This looks amazing.
Thank you!

Benvenuti. Hey, second
time's the charm, right?

Si, si, si, si.

Oh, thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you, Gino.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

JASON: Lindsay Anne Rogers,

you are the perk
in my percolator,

the caffeine in my coffee,

and I promise I will follow
you wherever you go,

till the ends of the Earth.

No, Connecticut
should be far enough.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I vow to honor and
cherish your wisdom,

to make you dark chocolate double
espressos whenever you want,

in sickness and in health,

till death do us part.

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Jason Michael Stewart,

you give me the courage
to live an inspired life.

I promise that I will cherish
every moment with you,

today, tomorrow, and the Christmas
season three years from now.

That's very specific.

And for all time.

And I will never take
you for granted.

I vow to be your
official taste tester.

(ALL CHUCKLE)

In sickness and in health,

till death do us part.

REVEREND BROWN: And so,

Jason Michael Stewart,

do you take Lindsay Anne
Rogers to be your wife?

Yeah, I do.

(CHUCKLES)

(ALL CHEERING)

Thank you.

Throw the bouquet!

(ALL EXCLAIMING) Over here!

ALL: Aww!

Mrs. Jamison.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Grandpa.

Sweetie.

Look at you.

Sweetie.

WOMAN: Congratulations!

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

He definitely doesn't
kiss me like that.

Me, neither.

All right, see you
guys at Ginos.
