[Lara] At some point,
5
00:00:23,133 --> 00:00:24,700
we all ask ourselves
6
00:00:24,834 --> 00:00:27,667
"What is
the meaning of life?"
7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,000
And at some point--
8
00:00:29,133 --> 00:00:31,200
maybe when we fall in love,
9
00:00:31,333 --> 00:00:33,500
maybe when
we lose someone--
10
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:37,266
we find the sudden, fleeting
answer to the question...
11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,667
an answer that reminds us
12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,600
of life's immense possibility
for change.
13
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:47,867
And, sometimes, that change
gets the better of us.
14
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,934
Sometimes,
we lose ourselves in it.

untangling the lights
used to be your favorite job.
19
00:01:05,934 --> 00:01:06,834
What happened?
20
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:08,800
I don't know.
21
00:01:08,934 --> 00:01:10,266
Guess I grew up.
22
00:01:13,033 --> 00:01:15,100
But it's in
those moments of change,
23
00:01:15,233 --> 00:01:17,266
of love, of loss,
24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,834
that we realize
the real question isn't,
25
00:01:19,967 --> 00:01:21,600
"What's the meaning of life?"
26
00:01:21,734 --> 00:01:25,533
but rather, "How do I
give my life more meaning?"
27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,667
And then Christmas comes...
28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,800

00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,500
No, something about
a "Christmas contest"
184
00:07:26,633 --> 00:07:28,166
they want me to apply to.
185
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:29,166
It's, uh...
186
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,567
oh, five contestants...
187
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:33,367
everyone brings a team.
188
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:35,367
Four events.
189
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:37,667
Ooh! Winner gets 50k for
the charity of their choice?
190
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,300
They can't guarantee me a...
191
00:07:40,433 --> 00:07:42,000
They can't guarantee me a spot,
192
00:07:42,133 --> 00:07:43,767
but they're looking for
a "hometown hero" contestant.
193
00:07:45,934 --> 00:07:48,500
Wow. I mean, this could
be great, right?
194
00:07:48,633 --> 00:07:49,633
Free press for the gym,
195
00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:51,133
boost my social,
196
00:07:51,266 --> 00:07:53,367
could get the word out
about my charitable work
197
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,500
with the "Winters Session" kids.
198
00:07:55,633 --> 00:07:57,600
And, oh, plus,
I could plug the jerky.
199
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,433
And...
200
00:08:01,567 --> 00:08:02,433
it's for a good cause.
201
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:04,133
Right.
202
00:08:04,266 --> 00:08:05,600
I led with that.
203
00:08:05,734 --> 00:08:08,233
Well, hey, wish
this "hometown hero" some luck
204
00:08:08,367 --> 00:08:10,800
'cause I am off to apply
to a Christmas contest.
205
00:08:10,934 --> 00:08:12,900
-Ho, ho!
-Okay...
206
00:08:13,033 --> 00:08:16,300
guess I'll just take care
of everything on my own.
207
00:08:16,433 --> 00:08:18,967
Again.
208
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,867
How? I just checked you
an hour ago.
209
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,567
Hey! [knocks]
It's just me.
210
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:33,633
[door shuts]
211
00:08:33,767 --> 00:08:34,734
Whatcha doing?
212
00:08:34,867 --> 00:08:36,066
Eating.
213
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,567
Mm.
214
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,233
Not that I'm not happy
to see you again,
215
00:08:40,367 --> 00:08:42,233
but what are you doing here?
216
00:08:42,367 --> 00:08:43,367
Well, I just wanted to check
217
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:44,533
if you gave that contest
more thought.
218
00:08:44,667 --> 00:08:45,934
Mm.
219
00:08:46,066 --> 00:08:47,734
They're gonna announce
the contestants on Monday.
220
00:08:47,867 --> 00:08:49,066
Oh, there's no harm
221
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,266
in just looking at
the website, right?
222
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Maybe it'll get
that winning spark going?
223
00:08:53,734 --> 00:08:55,734
I sent you the link.
224
00:08:57,934 --> 00:08:59,767
Now, applying
for the Christmas Contest
225
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:01,767
is as easy
as two simple steps.
226
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:05,300
One, create an anonymous,
holiday-inspired handle.
227
00:09:05,433 --> 00:09:08,266
I see you as "Noel-It-All".
228
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,500
Get it?
229
00:09:09,633 --> 00:09:11,800
Oh, I'd be...
"Sleigh the Competition".
230
00:09:11,934 --> 00:09:13,600
If I were doing it,
but I'm not.
231
00:09:13,734 --> 00:09:14,867
[hits key]
232
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,200
And, two,
write a short essay
233
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:17,266
answering the question,
234
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,166
"What is Christmas?"
235
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:20,300
[whacks key]
236
00:09:20,433 --> 00:09:21,800
"What is Christmas?"
237
00:09:21,934 --> 00:09:23,700
What does that even mean?
238
00:09:23,834 --> 00:09:24,767
What's the problem?
239
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:26,433
That seems easy enough.
240
00:09:26,567 --> 00:09:28,433
Are you joking?
241
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:30,367
Answering "What is Christmas?"--
242
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,166
I may as well answer
"What is the meaning of life?"
243
00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:34,800
So? Just figure out
the meaning of life
244
00:09:34,934 --> 00:09:37,433
and just work backwards
to Christmas.
245
00:09:37,567 --> 00:09:39,300
You are welcome.
246
00:09:39,433 --> 00:09:40,700
Okay, I love you,
but goodnight.
247
00:09:40,834 --> 00:09:42,367
[thud]
248
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,333
[Donna sighs]
249
00:09:45,467 --> 00:09:47,266
Okay.
250
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,867
It's just kind of sad
251
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,200
that you're not
doing this contest.
252
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:52,800
You used to love Christmas.
253
00:09:52,934 --> 00:09:54,233
It meant everything to you.
254
00:09:55,767 --> 00:09:57,367
I should let you
get back to work.
255
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,367
Love ya.
256
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,633
Love you.
257
00:10:03,467 --> 00:10:06,300
[♪♪]
258
00:10:12,667 --> 00:10:14,567
"What is Christmas?"
259
00:10:18,633 --> 00:10:19,600
What is Christmas?
260
00:10:19,734 --> 00:10:21,834
Well...
261
00:10:21,967 --> 00:10:24,800
"like life...
262
00:10:24,934 --> 00:10:27,066
it's a time to find meaning..."
263
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,367
[Ben] "What is
the meaning of Christmas?"
264
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:39,600
What is
the meaning of Christmas...
265
00:10:39,734 --> 00:10:41,467
Come on. You gotta spitball
with me here, Grandma.
266
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,633
Just a little help?
267
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,967
It's your essay contest, Benjy.
268
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,567
Figure it out for yourself.
269
00:10:48,333 --> 00:10:49,934
Whatever.
270
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:52,000
All right, well, on
to the next order of business--
271
00:10:52,133 --> 00:10:54,633
Chuck's Grandma is
coming to town for the holidays,
272
00:10:54,767 --> 00:10:58,500
and I thought that maybe you two
could be ladies who lunch.
273
00:10:58,633 --> 00:10:59,533
You know I don't
eat lunch, honey.
274
00:10:59,667 --> 00:11:03,266
Grandma. Listen.
275
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,734
I know that you miss Grandpa,
276
00:11:04,867 --> 00:11:06,433
but, you know,
making some new friends
277
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:08,233
could help that.
278
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:10,900
Let's get you out of the house
and change up your routine.
279
00:11:11,033 --> 00:11:12,834
Your Grandpa's and my routine
worked all these years.
280
00:11:12,967 --> 00:11:14,266
Why change it now?
281
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,700
Okay, well, then...
282
00:11:15,834 --> 00:11:20,333
in one final act of futility
and exasperation--
283
00:11:20,467 --> 00:11:21,734
what do you want for Christmas?
284
00:11:21,867 --> 00:11:22,934
I don't want anything.
285
00:11:23,066 --> 00:11:24,433
I have everything I need!
286
00:11:24,567 --> 00:11:26,700
Really.
287
00:11:26,834 --> 00:11:29,767
All I want for Christmas
is for us to be together.
288
00:11:32,467 --> 00:11:34,066
[claps and grunts]
That's it!
289
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600
That is the answer
to the essay question.
290
00:11:36,734 --> 00:11:38,233
"Christmas is a time
to be together."
291
00:11:38,367 --> 00:11:39,500
[laughs]
292
00:11:39,633 --> 00:11:41,467
Mm! Thank you!
293
00:11:42,834 --> 00:11:45,767
[♪♪]
294
00:11:51,734 --> 00:11:53,533
[Ben humming cheerfully]
295
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:54,834
Hey!
296
00:11:54,967 --> 00:11:55,867
You're late.
The kids are waiting.
297
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Kids?
298
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:58,500
Oh! The baseball camp.
299
00:11:58,633 --> 00:12:00,500
Yes, but the Christmas Contest
finalists
300
00:12:00,633 --> 00:12:02,467
are being announced right now.
301
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:03,633
You know what?
302
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:05,266
Two birds, one ball.
303
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,033
I could use this
as a great opportunity
for a teachable moment.
304
00:12:08,633 --> 00:12:09,667
[exhales]
305
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,700
'Kay.
306
00:12:14,433 --> 00:12:16,533
That good?
307
00:12:17,567 --> 00:12:18,900
You're late!
308
00:12:19,033 --> 00:12:20,467
[dryly] Oh, yeah,
309
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,600
because, obviously,
I was getting my nails done.
310
00:12:22,734 --> 00:12:23,967
Hi.
311
00:12:24,100 --> 00:12:25,400
Oh, look, it's starting.
312
00:12:25,533 --> 00:12:27,266
I just know
you're gonna win.
313
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,066
Okay, Mom,
I love the confidence,
314
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,767
but let's not get
too competitive.
315
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,066
-This is just a little contest.
-Mm. Right.
316
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,000
[Marty]
I just wanted to say
317
00:12:35,133 --> 00:12:36,734
that this contest was inspired
by my love for Christmas,
318
00:12:36,867 --> 00:12:37,734
my love for Denver,
319
00:12:37,867 --> 00:12:39,400
and my desire to create
320
00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:41,300
an event that brings
this great city together.
321
00:12:41,433 --> 00:12:42,900
And with
a thousand essays submitted,
322
00:12:43,033 --> 00:12:44,333
it was nearly impossible
323
00:12:44,467 --> 00:12:46,400
to choose
only five contestants.
324
00:12:46,533 --> 00:12:47,934
-But here goes.
-You're gonna get picked
325
00:12:48,066 --> 00:12:49,734
-for sure.
-Oh, I'm not so sure,
326
00:12:49,867 --> 00:12:51,066
but we can't let
fear of striking out
327
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,600
keep us
from playing the game.
328
00:12:52,734 --> 00:12:53,834
Babe Ruth said that, right?
329
00:12:53,967 --> 00:12:55,100
No, I just made that up
right now.
330
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:56,834
I'm pretty sure
Babe Ruth said that.
331
00:12:56,967 --> 00:12:58,800
Agree to disagree,
but the point is,
332
00:12:58,934 --> 00:13:01,033
not every run
can be a home run.
333
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:02,800
Our first contestant is...
334
00:13:02,934 --> 00:13:04,400
"Winters Wonderland."
335
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:05,734
Oh! But this one is
336
00:13:05,867 --> 00:13:07,567
'cause that's me!
337
00:13:07,700 --> 00:13:10,000
Yes! "Home run, Winters!"
338
00:13:10,133 --> 00:13:11,400
Oh, ho, ho!
339
00:13:11,533 --> 00:13:14,667
[roars] Yeah!
340
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,834
Next...
341
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:18,367
"Rebel Without a Claus."
342
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,533
It's okay.
343
00:13:19,667 --> 00:13:20,700
Next contestant--
344
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:22,600
"Special Snowflake."
345
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,500
-Okay.
-Up next...
346
00:13:26,633 --> 00:13:27,934
"Santa's Little Health."
347
00:13:30,033 --> 00:13:31,767
And our final contestant is...
348
00:13:33,166 --> 00:13:34,066
..."Sleigh the Competition".
349
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,667
[Cottridges shrieking]
350
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,233
Yay! That's my girl.
351
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:38,967
Join me tomorrow
as we meet our contestants
352
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,467
right here on this stage
353
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,500
for the first event--
354
00:13:41,633 --> 00:13:43,133
a Christmas trivia quiz.
355
00:13:43,266 --> 00:13:45,033
Which contestant has...
356
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:47,300
[gasps] Nobody knows
more trivia than you do.
357
00:13:47,433 --> 00:13:49,700
-This event is yours!
-...going ho-ho-home?
358
00:13:49,834 --> 00:13:52,000
We'll find out
right here, tomorrow!

00:20:27,133 --> 00:20:29,667
holiday-inspired treats
of epic proportions.
543
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,567
But our contestants
won't be baking alone.
544
00:20:31,700 --> 00:20:33,567
Throughout the contest,
545
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:35,567
they'll be helped by teams
of three friends or family.
546
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:38,300
Because remember,
this is about community.
547
00:20:38,433 --> 00:20:40,066
-Lara. Hi.
-Hi.
548
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,333
Oh. Did some Christmas shopping?
549
00:20:43,467 --> 00:20:44,500
Oh, just some stuff
for the bake-off.
550
00:20:44,633 --> 00:20:47,066
This is a very nice dress
to be baking in.
551
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,400
Oh, and look.
552
00:20:48,533 --> 00:20:50,467
Designer heels to match.
553
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,600
I bake in heels
all the time.
554
00:20:53,633 --> 00:20:55,033
Sometimes.
555
00:20:55,166 --> 00:20:57,266
Never.
556
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,867
Is this about your ex?
557
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,567
This is about
being camera-ready.
558
00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,233
Oh, Lara, come on.
559
00:21:05,367 --> 00:21:06,867
I remember you and Ben.
560
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,533
You two were twin flames--
a real power couple.
561
00:21:09,667 --> 00:21:12,433
You were great together,
but also...
562
00:21:12,567 --> 00:21:13,633
intense.
563
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:15,934
"Intense"?
564
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:16,967
Intense!
565
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,967
Okay.
566
00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:20,734
I have to go.
567
00:21:20,867 --> 00:21:22,266
I know we're trying
to wrap up the year,
568
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,066
but I will be back
online tonight,
569
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,900
and I will pull
an all-nighter,
570
00:21:26,033 --> 00:21:29,233
but for now, I have to wrangle
my Christmas Contest team.
571
00:21:29,367 --> 00:21:30,900
[packages rustling]
572
00:21:31,033 --> 00:21:33,000
[♪♪]
573
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:35,533
Here are the blueprints
for the yule-log cake.
574
00:21:35,667 --> 00:21:38,767
This is very complicated.
575
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:41,300
Think perhaps
you've gone a bit overboard?
576
00:21:41,433 --> 00:21:44,133
What happened to
"It's just a little contest"?
577
00:21:44,266 --> 00:21:46,367
Ben happened!
578
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:47,367
Yep, Ben happened.
579
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:49,400
So this contest has gone
580
00:21:49,533 --> 00:21:52,467
from "community spirit"
and "spreading holiday cheer"
581
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,233
to "long-awaited moment of
liberating personal catharsis."
582
00:21:55,367 --> 00:21:56,367
Mm.
583
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,600
Girls, Lara dating Ben
584
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:00,600
was four years
of her being treated
585
00:22:00,734 --> 00:22:02,633
like she was never
good enough.
586
00:22:02,767 --> 00:22:04,433
This is her chance to prove
587
00:22:04,567 --> 00:22:06,100
that she's not
just good enough,
588
00:22:06,233 --> 00:22:07,367
she is better.
589
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,600
Just... [sighs]
590
00:22:09,734 --> 00:22:11,166
...this seems a tad
591
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:12,533
petty.
592
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:16,166
You wouldn't want
Santa to skip you.
593
00:22:16,300 --> 00:22:17,667
Oh, Lara has been good
this year.
594
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,100
Santa will forgive
595
00:22:20,233 --> 00:22:21,967
one tiny
Vesuvian act of revenge.
596
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:23,166
Ooh.
597
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:26,133
Girls, this contest
is ours to lose,
598
00:22:26,266 --> 00:22:28,100
because when Lara sets her mind
on something,
599
00:22:28,233 --> 00:22:30,000
it's hers.
600
00:22:30,133 --> 00:22:32,367
My girl is a winner.
601
00:22:33,667 --> 00:22:35,834
Again, no pressure.
602
00:22:35,967 --> 00:22:37,133
Okay, Team Sleigh
the Competition...
603
00:22:37,266 --> 00:22:38,500
Mm.
604
00:22:38,633 --> 00:22:39,633
All hands on deck?
605
00:22:39,767 --> 00:22:40,800
Yes!
606
00:22:42,467 --> 00:22:44,000
[slap]
607
00:22:44,133 --> 00:22:45,000
Oh, yeah!
608
00:22:45,133 --> 00:22:46,233
Break!
609
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,367
[♪♪]
610
00:22:50,834 --> 00:22:52,800
Perfect!
I'll get back to you.
611
00:22:52,934 --> 00:22:55,433
Hey. Thanks for covering.
I was on with Daytime Denver.
612
00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:57,200
Oh, yeah?
613
00:22:57,333 --> 00:22:59,033
Hey, what's his story?
614
00:22:59,166 --> 00:23:00,333
Oh, that's Jayce.
615
00:23:00,467 --> 00:23:02,400
He can be very focused,
very determined.
616
00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:03,600
Not the best social skills.
617
00:23:03,734 --> 00:23:05,567
He's got a lot to prove.
618
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:08,100
Reminds me of myself
at that age.
619
00:23:08,233 --> 00:23:09,600
Anyway, so I just
pitched Daytime Denver
620
00:23:09,734 --> 00:23:11,000
a brilliant idea.
621
00:23:11,133 --> 00:23:12,433
You know how we need a team
for the Christmas Contest?
622
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:14,500
Well, I was thinking,
623
00:23:14,633 --> 00:23:16,333
what if the team was made up
of a few of these kids?
624
00:23:16,467 --> 00:23:17,400
I mean, imagine--
625
00:23:17,533 --> 00:23:18,500
me, and the kids,
Yuletide cheer?
626
00:23:18,633 --> 00:23:20,900
It's adorable-overload.
627
00:23:21,033 --> 00:23:23,500
What's that I hear--
a sure win?
628
00:23:23,633 --> 00:23:26,100
[chuckles] And do I smell
the sweet scent of endorsements?
629
00:23:26,233 --> 00:23:27,767
It would also be a great
experience for the boys.
630
00:23:27,900 --> 00:23:29,867
Yes, I just said that.
631
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,400
Liam and Ellis
are natural hams.
632
00:23:32,533 --> 00:23:34,100
-I'm sure they'd love it.
-But I need three.
633
00:23:34,233 --> 00:23:35,367
What about Jayce?
634
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:36,433
Sure, Jayce. Yeah.
635
00:23:36,567 --> 00:23:38,100
Good.
636
00:23:38,233 --> 00:23:39,166
So can you call the parents
and see what they think?
637
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:40,166
-Yeah.
-Great.
638
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:41,767
-One more thing.
-Mm-hmm?
639
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:43,934
Using the kids as your team
wouldn't have anything to do
640
00:23:44,066 --> 00:23:46,033
with you trying to get back
at your ex-fiancée, would it?
641
00:23:46,166 --> 00:23:48,500
Oh-- [scoffs]
Pfft. 'Course not.
642
00:23:48,633 --> 00:23:50,333
No, actually,
me competing against Lara
643
00:23:50,467 --> 00:23:51,667
is a great opportunity
for me to show
644
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:52,900
how much I've matured.
645
00:23:53,033 --> 00:23:55,433
Because this contest
is not about my ego.
646
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:57,767
Nope.
647
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:00,567
It's about me
doing good in the world.
648
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:02,767
Which could also
benefit your ego.
649
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:04,333
Sure. Maybe.
650
00:24:04,467 --> 00:24:05,734
But no time
for self-awareness now.
651
00:24:05,867 --> 00:24:07,133
I've got places to be.
652
00:24:07,266 --> 00:24:08,300
All right, my man.
653
00:24:08,433 --> 00:24:10,900
Hey. Just keep
your back elbow up.
654
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:12,567
Square up your shoulders.
Lead leg out in front.
655
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:14,533
Step into it.
Throw your hips.
656
00:24:15,767 --> 00:24:17,166
Nice.
657
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:19,166
Thanks.
658
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:21,266
Okay, so anyways, I gotta do
a recon of the bake-off site.
659
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,300
You good here?
660
00:24:22,433 --> 00:24:23,333
Well--
661
00:24:23,467 --> 00:24:25,100
[sighs] Sure!
662
00:24:25,233 --> 00:24:26,233
[thump]
663
00:24:26,367 --> 00:24:27,233
[sighs louder]
664
00:24:27,367 --> 00:24:29,333
[♪♪]
665
00:24:29,467 --> 00:24:31,367
[indistinct exchange]
666
00:24:37,367 --> 00:24:39,834
[♪♪]
667
00:24:42,433 --> 00:24:43,467
Lara.
668
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,500
Wow.
669
00:24:45,633 --> 00:24:46,900
Come here often?
670
00:24:47,033 --> 00:24:49,400
Or you just popped by
to do a little recon?
671
00:24:49,533 --> 00:24:50,800
Happened to be walking by.
672
00:24:50,934 --> 00:24:52,333
Strange. Me too.
673
00:24:52,467 --> 00:24:53,600
Mm.
674
00:24:53,734 --> 00:24:55,166
I guess
great minds think alike.
675
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:58,200
Great minds and... exes.
676
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:02,667
You know, Ben, it's good
we bumped into each other
677
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,000
so we can get a handle
on this sitch,
678
00:25:05,133 --> 00:25:06,400
because,
while the banter is fun--
679
00:25:06,533 --> 00:25:07,834
It is, right?
680
00:25:07,967 --> 00:25:09,834
...It's also
incredibly immature.
681
00:25:11,333 --> 00:25:13,767
And we can be adults, right?
We can be civil.
682
00:25:15,033 --> 00:25:17,300
So, Ben, are you ready
683
00:25:17,433 --> 00:25:19,400
to bake a giant
Christmas dessert tomorrow?
684
00:25:19,533 --> 00:25:21,633
Of course.
685
00:25:21,767 --> 00:25:23,633
What, are you suggesting
686
00:25:23,767 --> 00:25:24,700
that baking
a giant Christmas dessert
687
00:25:24,834 --> 00:25:25,900
is hard?
688
00:25:26,033 --> 00:25:28,000
Only as a rule, yes.
689
00:25:28,133 --> 00:25:29,900
So I suggest
you get yourself a recipe.
690
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:31,400
Oh, but I forgot.
691
00:25:31,533 --> 00:25:33,900
You hate recipes
692
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:37,367
and anything related
to instructions or directions.
693
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,867
So is this
you being civil, or...
694
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,567
and I don't hate them,
I just don't need them.
695
00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:42,900
My bookshelf?
696
00:25:43,033 --> 00:25:44,400
Which I built
without instructions?
697
00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:46,400
That collapsed the first time
I put a book on it?
698
00:25:46,533 --> 00:25:48,367
We couldn't prove
that was an assembly issue.
699
00:25:48,500 --> 00:25:50,467
Well, good luck
with your baking.
700
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,467
And good luck with your baking.
701
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,700
Just make sure to ask the judges
702
00:25:53,834 --> 00:25:55,266
if they prefer raw
or undercooked.
703
00:25:56,533 --> 00:25:58,567
Har, har, har.
704
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:01,300
Well, historically,
705
00:26:01,433 --> 00:26:03,767
my baking may have leaned
towards the less-well-done,
706
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,066
but you, undoubtedly,
707
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,934
will burn
your bake-off creation.
708
00:26:08,066 --> 00:26:09,867
-Ah.
-And from the burnt crumbs
709
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,700
of your giant dessert,
710
00:26:11,834 --> 00:26:13,867
my dessert will emerge
711
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,133
like a Phoenix
rising from your sugary ashes!
712
00:26:17,266 --> 00:26:19,700
Wow! Are you really
gonna be this competitive
713
00:26:19,834 --> 00:26:21,300
about a bake-off?
714
00:26:21,433 --> 00:26:23,600
[snaps] Oh, this is about
more than a bake-off, Ben,
715
00:26:23,734 --> 00:26:26,467
and you know it!
716
00:26:29,333 --> 00:26:31,900
[calmly] Okay. Being civil
is obviously too ambitious.
717
00:26:32,033 --> 00:26:34,767
How about, instead,
718
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:36,767
we are just
competitors on-camera
719
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:39,266
and mature adults off-camera?
720
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,834
Okay?
721
00:26:49,967 --> 00:26:51,600
Lara, you look beautiful.
722
00:26:51,734 --> 00:26:53,166
Oh, thank you.
723
00:26:53,300 --> 00:26:55,767
Honey, are you gonna bake
for four hours in stilettos?
724
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:58,867
Oh. They're not stilettos.
They're... pumps.
725
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Besides, I brought sneakers.
726
00:27:00,734 --> 00:27:02,667
Oh! Shoot!
I forgot my sneakers.
727
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:05,667
Hi, Donna.
728
00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:08,433
It's so nice to see you again.
729
00:27:08,567 --> 00:27:09,667
[darkly] Hello, Ben.
730
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,433
Oh, wow, that was the most
terrifying "hello" of my life.
731
00:27:17,967 --> 00:27:19,200
-Oh! My team!
-Hey, Coach Ben.
732
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,066
What? No! No, no, no.
733
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,900
You can't have kids
on your team.
734
00:27:24,033 --> 00:27:25,967
Oh, really, and why not?
735
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:29,400
Because you're just using them
for their adorable factor.
736
00:27:29,533 --> 00:27:31,333
You think it's gonna work?
737
00:27:31,467 --> 00:27:33,433
I'm not using them.
How cynical of you.
738
00:27:33,567 --> 00:27:35,500
I'm merely trying
to offer these kids
739
00:27:35,633 --> 00:27:37,967
a once-in-a-lifetime
holiday experience.
740
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,433
Oh, hey, Marty,
question for you.
741
00:27:40,567 --> 00:27:42,667
Um... can we have
whomever we want on our team?
742
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,867
-Yep.
-Thanks.
743
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,767
My guys! Get in here.
744
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:48,200
-[laughing]
-[boys] Hey, coach.
745
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,166
I'm sorry, were you
complaining about something?
746
00:27:52,633 --> 00:27:53,600
[groans] Oh!
747
00:27:54,967 --> 00:27:56,800
[grunts victoriously]
Who's ready to bake?
748
00:27:56,934 --> 00:27:57,934
Oh, ho. Thank you.
749
00:27:58,066 --> 00:27:59,200
And vanilla.
750
00:28:00,633 --> 00:28:02,867
Ben's team is all kids!
751
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,333
How am I supposed
to beat children?
752
00:28:05,467 --> 00:28:06,734
Oh... wow.
753
00:28:06,867 --> 00:28:08,166
Listen to the words
coming out of my mouth.
754
00:28:09,266 --> 00:28:11,567
No. No stress.
It's all good.
755
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:14,500
Kids or no kids,
our dessert is still a winner.
756
00:28:14,633 --> 00:28:17,467
Uh, except
that Beth just called.
757
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,500
It seems that her granddaughter
just went into labor early,
758
00:28:20,633 --> 00:28:21,633
so Beth is off
to Fort Collins.
759
00:28:21,767 --> 00:28:23,400
Till New Year's.
760
00:28:23,533 --> 00:28:25,767
So we're down a team member?
761
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,934
[♪♪]
762
00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:33,767
Looks like luck
is on our side!
763
00:28:34,834 --> 00:28:37,166
[♪♪]
764
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:41,633
Bernie! Hi!
It's nice to see you.
765
00:28:41,767 --> 00:28:43,567
And you, Lara!
766
00:28:43,700 --> 00:28:45,000
I've missed you!
767
00:28:45,133 --> 00:28:47,166
Oh. Me too, really.
768
00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:49,467
So are you on Ben's team
for the bake-off?
769
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,967
No, I'm just here
for moral support.
770
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:52,033
Oh, good.
771
00:28:52,166 --> 00:28:53,867
Well, then, question--
772
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,066
What's going on?
773
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,834
Uh, actually,
I was just about
774
00:28:58,967 --> 00:29:00,967
to ask Bernie
if she'd like to join my team.
775
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:02,467
-What?
-What?
776
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,066
After all, our team can be
whomever we want, right?
777
00:29:06,667 --> 00:29:08,567
I want Bernie.
778
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:10,767
Well, thank you,
but I couldn't.
779
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:12,934
Wouldn't want
to "Et tu, Grandma?"
780
00:29:13,066 --> 00:29:15,767
[Martha and Donna giggling]
781
00:29:15,900 --> 00:29:17,967
[♪♪]
782
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:19,633
No, Grandma...
783
00:29:19,767 --> 00:29:21,633
you should do it.
784
00:29:21,767 --> 00:29:22,967
What? R-- Really?
785
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:25,633
Yeah, really. Definitely.
786
00:29:25,767 --> 00:29:27,900
It'll be fun and, uh,
787
00:29:28,033 --> 00:29:29,300
Lara could use your help.
788
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,767
Okay, fine.
789
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:33,400
But just for today.
790
00:29:33,533 --> 00:29:35,633
Thank you!
791
00:29:38,934 --> 00:29:40,066
What?
792
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,533
Grandma, this will be good.
793
00:29:42,667 --> 00:29:44,066
You can make some new friends.
794
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,900
Change up your routine.
795
00:29:47,066 --> 00:29:48,667
Okay?
796
00:29:50,066 --> 00:29:52,500
[distractedly] Okay...
797
00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:57,767
Hi, Donna.
798
00:29:57,900 --> 00:30:00,033
Hi!
799
00:30:00,166 --> 00:30:01,033
Do you remember who I am?
800
00:30:01,166 --> 00:30:02,433
Of course.
801
00:30:02,567 --> 00:30:03,467
Why, did you forget?
802
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,467
[laughing]
803
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,767
Get over here!
804
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:07,133
Oh, hey.
805
00:30:07,266 --> 00:30:09,367
Oh, it's been way too long.
806
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:11,433
It looks like
I'm on your team.
807
00:30:11,567 --> 00:30:12,967
Really? Well, then
let's get you an apron!
808
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,633
Come on. [laughs]
809
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,233
[♪♪]
810
00:30:23,934 --> 00:30:25,633
So what do you think?
811
00:30:25,767 --> 00:30:28,734
It's a "gym-gerbread" house.
812
00:30:28,867 --> 00:30:29,934
It's clever, right?
813
00:30:30,066 --> 00:30:32,867
A gym made of cookies?
814
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,734
-Mm-hmm.
-Sure makes sense to me.
815
00:30:36,166 --> 00:30:37,767
Oh, and your dessert is better?
816
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:39,567
[chuckles] Behold...
817
00:30:39,700 --> 00:30:41,934
Operation: "Yule Be Sorry."
818
00:30:42,066 --> 00:30:43,100
Whoa.
819
00:30:43,233 --> 00:30:45,367
In honor
of the stalwart reindeer,
820
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,133
we're doing a magical
"Christmas forest" theme.
821
00:30:47,266 --> 00:30:48,734
Oh... be careful.
822
00:30:48,867 --> 00:30:50,533
My reindeer's very fragile.
823
00:30:50,667 --> 00:30:51,767
I thought he was stalwart?
824
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:53,033
[thumps table]
825
00:30:53,166 --> 00:30:54,033
All right,
we had two days to prepare.
826
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:55,467
How did you pull this off?
827
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,967
I called in a few favors
from friends.
828
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,934
Bakers, architects,
project managers.
829
00:31:01,066 --> 00:31:02,200
-Oh!
-But don't worry.
830
00:31:02,333 --> 00:31:04,967
Since you can't beat me,
831
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:07,033
just make sure
you don't come in last.
832
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:09,467
Now, please,
may I have my reindeer?
833
00:31:10,967 --> 00:31:12,967
See? All you had to do
was ask nicely.
834
00:31:15,967 --> 00:31:17,100
Okay, folks!
835
00:31:17,233 --> 00:31:18,567
We're gonna start rolling soon.
836
00:31:20,133 --> 00:31:22,533
Okay.
837
00:31:24,333 --> 00:31:25,633
Ah! Have you guys
ever baked before?
838
00:31:25,767 --> 00:31:27,800
[♪♪]
839
00:31:34,133 --> 00:31:36,300
...So there I was, retired,
840
00:31:36,433 --> 00:31:38,500
with no idea
what to do with myself,
841
00:31:38,633 --> 00:31:39,867
then I caught wind
of a poker game
842
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,934
over at the senior center...
843
00:31:41,066 --> 00:31:42,200
and the rest is history!
844
00:31:42,333 --> 00:31:43,667
[both laughing]
845
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,166
Oh, but enough about me.
846
00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:47,200
How about you?
How is Charlie?
847
00:31:47,333 --> 00:31:49,800
Actually, he passed last year.
848
00:31:49,934 --> 00:31:51,867
Oh, Bernie.
849
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,066
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
850
00:31:56,066 --> 00:31:58,133
Would you two mind
trying this for us?
851
00:32:01,867 --> 00:32:04,066
Mm...
852
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,166
So, what do you think?
853
00:32:05,300 --> 00:32:06,600
Delicious!
854
00:32:06,734 --> 00:32:07,934
Heaven in butter form.
855
00:32:08,066 --> 00:32:09,233
Ooh! Yes.
856
00:32:09,367 --> 00:32:10,834
So good.
857
00:32:10,967 --> 00:32:13,133
-Camera.
-Camera!
858
00:32:21,233 --> 00:32:23,100
What happened?
859
00:32:23,233 --> 00:32:26,000
I turned my back on them
for three seconds and...
860
00:32:26,133 --> 00:32:28,867
Guys, we are supposed to have
our eyes on the prize.
861
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
I know,
but Ellis started it.
862
00:32:31,133 --> 00:32:32,600
Only after Liam spilled on me.
863
00:32:32,734 --> 00:32:33,767
-Guys. Guys!
-Stop!
864
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:35,700
We are a team, all right?
865
00:32:35,834 --> 00:32:38,000
So go with Chuck,
make up, get cleaned up,
866
00:32:38,133 --> 00:32:39,266
and get back to work.
867
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,200
There's less than an hour to go!
868
00:32:41,333 --> 00:32:42,300
Let's go.
869
00:32:43,967 --> 00:32:46,266
Oh, my goodness.
870
00:32:52,233 --> 00:32:55,200
Dude!
You're a really good baker.
871
00:32:55,333 --> 00:32:58,600
Well, I live with my grandma,
so I bake with her a lot.
872
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:02,000
You know, I was raised
by my grandma, too.
873
00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:03,667
Yeah, I know.
874
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,367
I've heard you talk about it
in interviews.

876
00:33:19,266 --> 00:33:20,633
Oh.
877
00:33:20,767 --> 00:33:21,834
Great minds again.
878
00:33:21,967 --> 00:33:23,633
[overlapping] Go ahead.
879

[wrapper crinkling]
881
00:33:32,233 --> 00:33:33,967
Just use scissors.
882
00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:35,333
No. That's why
God invented hands.
883
00:33:35,467 --> 00:33:37,734
Oh, I can assure you,
God did not invent hands
884
00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:39,300
to open up
packages of candy.
885
00:33:39,433 --> 00:33:40,800
And you know you're just gonna
886
00:33:40,934 --> 00:33:42,767
burst open that bag
and gumdrops are gonna
887
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:44,266

-No, I'm not!

Well done, ladies!
892
00:34:08,166 --> 00:34:10,333
Just one more thing.

897
00:34:21,467 --> 00:34:24,133
I slipped on a gumdrop.
898
00:34:24,266 --> 00:34:28,500
This is the most humiliating
moment of my life.
899
00:34:28,633 --> 00:34:31,567
The most humiliating moment
of your life so far.
900

Come on, honey.
We'll get you cleaned up.

Sabotage. Just sabotage!
904
00:34:51,867 --> 00:34:53,867
Ben did this.
905
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,166
Oh...
906
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,300
I'm sorry.
I'll leave.
907
00:34:57,433 --> 00:34:59,300
Oh, no, Bernie, it's fine.
908
00:34:59,433 --> 00:35:01,300
[sternly] And, of course,
Ben didn't do this.
909
00:35:01,433 --> 00:35:04,066
Mom. You have to stop.
910
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,533
I know you have
your feelings about Ben
911
00:35:06,667 --> 00:35:07,900
and I know you want me to win,
912
00:35:08,033 --> 00:35:09,800
and I know what the center
means to you.
913
00:35:09,934 --> 00:35:12,734
Sweetheart, this whole contest
is about you.
914
00:35:12,867 --> 00:35:15,200
I've been watching
your magic start to fade
915
00:35:15,333 --> 00:35:18,133
and I just thought
you could use a little fun,
916
00:35:18,266 --> 00:35:21,266
otherwise, I would've entered
the contest myself.
917
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,967
I'm sorry.
918
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,633
[laughing] Oh!
919
00:35:24,767 --> 00:35:28,233
Well, despite being covered
in yule log and blisters
920
00:35:28,367 --> 00:35:31,400
and awaiting
a humiliating elimination...
921
00:35:32,500 --> 00:35:34,400
...it has been kinda fun.
922
00:35:34,533 --> 00:35:37,433
I just wish I'd spent
more time enjoying it
923
00:35:37,567 --> 00:35:38,900
instead of bickering with Ben.
924
00:35:39,033 --> 00:35:40,734
[Bernie] I'm sure
he feels the same way.
925
00:35:40,867 --> 00:35:43,033
Now, let's finish
cleaning you up
926
00:35:43,166 --> 00:35:44,266
and get you back to set.
927
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,400
Oh...
928
00:35:46,533 --> 00:35:48,033
It's now time to reveal
929
00:35:48,166 --> 00:35:49,400
which of
our bake-off contestants
930
00:35:49,533 --> 00:35:51,300
will be leaving us now.
931
00:35:51,433 --> 00:35:53,300
You've all performed admirably.
932
00:35:53,433 --> 00:35:55,633
Lara, your yule log notably
suffered in appearances,
933
00:35:55,767 --> 00:35:57,934
but the cake was moist,
the frosting rich,
934
00:35:58,066 --> 00:35:59,400
and the flavors incredible,
935
00:35:59,533 --> 00:36:01,200
which makes this decision...
[sighs]
936
00:36:01,333 --> 00:36:02,967
...especially difficult.
937
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:05,433
So, the Christmas Contestant
938
00:36:05,567 --> 00:36:08,500
who will be receiving $1,000
for the charity of their choice,
939
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:10,200
but, sadly, heading home is...
940
00:36:11,667 --> 00:36:13,834
...Special Snowflake.
941
00:36:13,967 --> 00:36:14,867
[dejected whimper]
942
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,166
Aww.
943
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:18,967
[Marty] But we'll be excited
944
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,100
to see
our three remaining contestants
945
00:36:21,233 --> 00:36:22,934
back on-air in two days,
946
00:36:23,066 --> 00:36:24,266
for Christmas caroling.
947
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:31,333
[♪♪]
948
00:36:31,467 --> 00:36:34,367
I'm playing for my best friend
and mother, Donna.
949
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,000
I'm playing for the kids
on my team.
950
00:36:36,133 --> 00:36:38,033
If I win, the money will go
951
00:36:38,166 --> 00:36:40,133
to the senior center
where my mom socializes.
952
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:41,967
When I win...
953
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,400
...uh, I'm gonna
donate the money
954
00:36:43,533 --> 00:36:45,967
to sports scholarships
to help the kids on my team
955
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:48,033
with clinics and summer camps
and equipment.
956
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:50,133
I know, people think
senior centers
957
00:36:50,266 --> 00:36:53,133
are just shuffleboard
and applesauce, but...
958
00:36:53,266 --> 00:36:55,834
really, they're centerpieces
of the community.
959
00:36:55,967 --> 00:36:58,500
I know people say
that sports are just a game,
960
00:36:58,633 --> 00:36:59,900
but they're so much more
than that.
961
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:02,367
It's about, you know,
finding a sense of self,
962
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:03,467
about work ethic.
963
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,967
They bring connection
964
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:07,367
to people who might otherwise
feel isolated.
965
00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:10,867
I know it's given my mom
a sense of... belonging.
966
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,133
It's about a place
where you belong.
967
00:37:12,266 --> 00:37:14,567
Is it true...
968
00:37:14,700 --> 00:37:17,734
Ben keeps jerky
in his pocket?
969
00:37:17,867 --> 00:37:19,633
You know what else
goes good with sports?
970
00:37:19,767 --> 00:37:22,233
Winters Christmas Jerky!
971
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:25,967
[groans disdainfully]
972
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:30,367
[♪♪]
973
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:32,266
[laughing]
974
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,200
Mom! What are you doing?
975
00:37:34,333 --> 00:37:36,300
I am teaching Martha...
976
00:37:36,433 --> 00:37:37,533
...the Dougie.
977
00:37:37,667 --> 00:37:39,200
But I don't know who Dougie is.
978
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:40,367
[laughing]
979
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:42,233
It's our Christmas carol
choreography.
980
00:37:42,367 --> 00:37:43,467
Oh! Well,
981
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,133
I appreciate the initiative,
982
00:37:45,266 --> 00:37:46,300
but I don't think
we're gonna Dougie.
983
00:37:46,433 --> 00:37:47,467
Oh...
984
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,967
Where's Bernie?
985
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:51,467
Oh. She was a no-show.
986
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:52,834
We haven't even heard from her.
987
00:37:52,967 --> 00:37:54,834
[♪♪]
988
00:38:01,667 --> 00:38:03,500
Oh, ho! Great.
989
00:38:03,633 --> 00:38:05,166
You're alive.
990
00:38:05,300 --> 00:38:06,633
So why did the principal call,
991
00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:10,033
telling me
you're playing hooky, huh?
992
00:38:10,166 --> 00:38:12,300
Lara called,
asking why you didn't show up
993
00:38:12,433 --> 00:38:13,367
to carol practice.
994
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:14,867
Oh, that? No.
995
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,967
Joining her team
was a one-time thing.
996
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:18,333
Why?
997
00:38:18,467 --> 00:38:19,667
You had fun baking!
998
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,200
I saw you chatting it up
with Donna,
999
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:22,867
so go get caroling.
1000
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,500
Go hang out
at the senior center.
1001
00:38:24,633 --> 00:38:26,100
Make some friends.
1002
00:38:26,233 --> 00:38:27,300
Why? What's the point?
1003
00:38:27,433 --> 00:38:29,834
I don't know.
Human connection?
1004
00:38:29,967 --> 00:38:32,000
I have heard
it makes the world go round,
1005
00:38:32,133 --> 00:38:34,000
but who knows?
1006
00:38:34,133 --> 00:38:36,633
Grandma, the point is,
I worry about you,
1007
00:38:36,767 --> 00:38:38,567
here alone, all day,
you know?
1008
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,800
And Grandpa would've wanted it.
1009
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,166
Well, just to keep
the frustration going--
1010
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:50,133
there's ten days
till Christmas.
1011
00:38:50,266 --> 00:38:52,700
I'm out of ideas
for gifts for you,
1012
00:38:52,834 --> 00:38:55,367
and so can you please
just tell me what you want?
1013
00:38:55,500 --> 00:38:56,533
[laughs]
1014
00:38:56,667 --> 00:38:58,266
What?
1015
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,600
It's just you're reminding me
so much of your grandpa.
1016
00:39:00,734 --> 00:39:03,333
I used to have
this exact conversation with him
1017
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:04,734
every Christmas.
1018
00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:06,033
He'd never know what to get me
1019
00:39:06,166 --> 00:39:07,367
and threaten
that if I didn't tell him,
1020
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,667
he'd buy me
a diamond tennis bracelet.
1021
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,867
Not such a bad threat.
1022
00:39:13,233 --> 00:39:14,400
So did he ever get it for you?
1023
00:39:14,533 --> 00:39:16,100
No.
1024
00:39:16,233 --> 00:39:17,700
He wanted to...
1025
00:39:17,834 --> 00:39:19,600
but I would never let him.
1026
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,433
So back to joining
Lara's team--
1027
00:39:24,567 --> 00:39:26,934
listen, I'm on my way over
to Santa's Grotto,
1028
00:39:27,066 --> 00:39:28,367
and I could easily
drop you off on the way.
1029
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:30,100
And if you say no,
1030
00:39:30,233 --> 00:39:32,867
I'm just gonna have to buy you
a diamond tennis bracelet.
1031
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,934
No tennis bracelet.
Promise me!
1032
00:39:36,066 --> 00:39:39,333
I promise I won't buy you
a diamond tennis bracelet,
1033
00:39:39,467 --> 00:39:40,600
if you join Lara's team.
1034
00:39:40,734 --> 00:39:42,266
Wow! What a great deal for you!
1035
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,700
Get your coat.
1036
00:39:46,467 --> 00:39:47,333
[shutter snapping]
1037
00:39:47,467 --> 00:39:49,467
[♪♪]
1038
00:39:53,367 --> 00:39:54,600
Hi.
1039
00:39:54,734 --> 00:39:57,867
You're like a whack-a-mole.
1040
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,834
Why? Because you want to hit me
repeatedly with a giant mallet?
1041
00:39:59,967 --> 00:40:02,567
That,
and you're everywhere.
1042
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:04,734
Oh. Well, I saw you
eyeing these chimney cakes.
1043
00:40:04,867 --> 00:40:06,433
I've always loved 'em.
1044
00:40:06,567 --> 00:40:07,533
I know.
1045
00:40:07,667 --> 00:40:08,767
I could get you one.
1046
00:40:10,066 --> 00:40:11,667
Ooh!
What is she gonna decide?
1047
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,600
Cake? Or no cake?
1048
00:40:13,734 --> 00:40:17,333
It's a real nail-biter, folks.
1049
00:40:17,467 --> 00:40:19,266
Fine, Winters.
Buy me a chimney cake.
1050
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,367
What was that?
1051
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:22,266
Was that a... "Thank you"?
1052
00:40:30,233 --> 00:40:31,533
Sorry.
1053
00:40:31,667 --> 00:40:32,767
Old habits die hard.
1054
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:34,734
[laughs] No worries.
1055
00:40:34,867 --> 00:40:36,166
I still don't
like whipped cream
1056
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:37,967
and you still obviously
like extra.
1057
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,567
Know what?
Fill me in on the last decade.
1058
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,667
I saw you're the C.O.O.
of McLeeds now?
1059
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,333
I mean, congratulations.
1060
00:40:45,467 --> 00:40:46,834
How's it feel to have
everything you ever wanted?
1061
00:40:46,967 --> 00:40:49,600
Yeah. It's a dream come true.
1062
00:40:49,734 --> 00:40:52,600
It's been an honor to help
lead such a great company.
1063
00:40:52,734 --> 00:40:54,400
Wow! I sound like
a bad press release.
1064
00:40:54,533 --> 00:40:56,166
[laughing]
1065
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:57,667
I don't know, I've worked
my butt off to get here.
1066
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,100
I have everything
I've wanted,
1067
00:40:59,233 --> 00:41:01,200
and I have nothing
to complain about.
1068
00:41:02,767 --> 00:41:03,734
But I don't know,
I just...
1069
00:41:03,867 --> 00:41:05,333
I work a lot.
1070
00:41:05,467 --> 00:41:06,633
Ahh.
1071
00:41:06,767 --> 00:41:07,767
And sometimes
because I have to,
1072
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:10,100
but sometimes because, um,
1073
00:41:10,233 --> 00:41:12,433
I don't know what else
to do with myself.
1074
00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:15,467
And if I'm being
totally honest...
1075
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,800
it's not just work.
1076
00:41:17,934 --> 00:41:19,834
It's like sometimes my life...
1077
00:41:19,967 --> 00:41:21,500
feels a little empty,
1078
00:41:21,633 --> 00:41:22,900
a little flat.
1079
00:41:23,033 --> 00:41:25,166
No, I get it, really,
you know.
1080
00:41:25,300 --> 00:41:28,300
I mean, shilling my celebrity
to the milk-processing board
1081
00:41:28,433 --> 00:41:30,767
is about as fulfilling
as I thought it would be.
1082
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:32,100
[deep voice] "Got eggnog?"
1083
00:41:33,467 --> 00:41:34,834
I know.
1084
00:41:34,967 --> 00:41:37,500
Sometimes, I feel like
my best days are behind me,
1085
00:41:37,633 --> 00:41:39,800
that I...
1086
00:41:39,934 --> 00:41:41,400
I don't mean anything anymore,
1087
00:41:41,533 --> 00:41:43,600
or that...
1088
00:41:43,734 --> 00:41:45,166
that I never meant anything.
1089
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:46,867
It's...
1090
00:41:49,633 --> 00:41:51,133
Well...
1091
00:41:51,266 --> 00:41:52,600
these chimney cakes
1092
00:41:52,734 --> 00:41:54,367
aren't gonna
eat themselves, so.
1093
00:41:59,266 --> 00:42:00,900
Mm!
1094
00:42:02,367 --> 00:42:03,700
You know what?
1095
00:42:03,834 --> 00:42:05,800
It's easy to remember
the bad between us,
1096
00:42:05,934 --> 00:42:09,200
but chatting back there
reminded me of the good.
1097
00:42:09,333 --> 00:42:10,633
How you could always see
right through me,
1098
00:42:10,767 --> 00:42:12,066
get me talking,
1099
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,533
how comfortable
you could make me feel.
1100
00:42:14,667 --> 00:42:17,867
Well, I won't tell,
if you don't.
1101
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,667
But, yeah...
1102
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,533
we had something special.
1103
00:42:21,667 --> 00:42:22,567
Eek!
1104
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:24,800
Is that Lara and Ben?
1105
00:42:24,934 --> 00:42:27,233
It's the Christmas Contest
couple!
1106
00:42:27,367 --> 00:42:28,667
O.M.G.
1107
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,900
Would you both take a photo
with Santa
1108
00:42:30,033 --> 00:42:31,233
for the Grotto's social?
1109
00:42:31,367 --> 00:42:32,567
-Oh...
-Oh!
1110
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:33,800
-Sure.
-Yeah.
1111
00:42:33,934 --> 00:42:35,300
-[Ben chuckles]
-Hi, Santa.
1112
00:42:35,433 --> 00:42:37,333
A pic where you're both
pecking Santa on the cheek?
1113
00:42:38,834 --> 00:42:40,100
-Oh. Uh...
-Yeah.
1114
00:42:44,467 --> 00:42:46,166
-[snap]
-Ho, ho.
1115
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,500
Perfect! [gasps]
1116
00:42:50,633 --> 00:42:52,633
Oh! Please don't post that!
1117
00:42:52,767 --> 00:42:54,633
Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.
1118
00:42:54,767 --> 00:42:55,700
I mean, how many people
1119
00:42:55,834 --> 00:42:57,200
are actually looking
at that account?
1120
00:42:57,333 --> 00:42:58,867
No offense, Santa.
1121
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,967
[groans]
1122
00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:03,767
[Donna] Pull up
the Daytime Denver website.
1123
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:06,367
Really, Mom? You texted "911."
1124
00:43:06,500 --> 00:43:08,300
Pull... up... the website.
1125
00:43:12,266 --> 00:43:13,734
"Looks like
the King and Queen of Christmas
1126
00:43:13,867 --> 00:43:15,300
are an item again.
1127
00:43:15,433 --> 00:43:17,467
These two obviously
make music together,
1128
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:18,934
but do they make music apart?
1129
00:43:19,066 --> 00:43:20,800
Tune in
to the carol-off tomorrow."
1130
00:43:20,934 --> 00:43:22,266
Mom.
1131
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,700
Don't worry,
it'll blow over by tonight.
1132
00:43:24,834 --> 00:43:26,567
Yeah, well, maybe it would've,
1133
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:28,867
if the tabloids
hadn't just picked it up.
1134
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,967
I'll send you the link.
1135
00:43:31,100 --> 00:43:32,400
[text chimes]
1136
00:43:34,767 --> 00:43:36,333
[groans]
1137
00:43:45,133 --> 00:43:46,333
We didn't kiss!
1138
00:43:46,467 --> 00:43:47,567
Yeah, we kissed!
1139
00:43:47,700 --> 00:43:49,934
It was just
a Santa staging mishap.
1140
00:43:50,066 --> 00:43:52,433
It was just...
amazing.
1141
00:43:52,567 --> 00:43:53,734
Like always.
1142
00:43:53,867 --> 00:43:54,834
Something between us?
1143
00:43:54,967 --> 00:43:55,834
No!
1144
00:43:55,967 --> 00:43:57,800
Definitely not.
1145
00:43:57,934 --> 00:43:59,900
There'll always be
something between me and Lara.
1146
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:03,533
Ben has always had the power
to turn my world upside-down,
1147
00:44:03,667 --> 00:44:05,967
but you can't
live upside-down.
1148
00:44:06,100 --> 00:44:07,834
Losing her was
the biggest regret of my life.
1149
00:44:07,967 --> 00:44:09,000
Why did we call it off?
1150
00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:10,600
Why did we call it off...?
1151
00:44:11,667 --> 00:44:13,233
"We" didn't.
1152
00:44:13,367 --> 00:44:16,767
Well, I guess,
despite a life of team sports...
1153
00:44:18,266 --> 00:44:19,633
I'm a lone wolf at heart.
1154
00:44:19,767 --> 00:44:22,900
[♪♪]
1155
00:44:25,934 --> 00:44:27,233
[exhales] Come on.
1156
00:44:29,367 --> 00:44:31,066
Oh! You're here.
I was worried. Any trouble?
1157
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,233
Nothing easier
than wrangling elves, Ben.
1158
00:44:33,367 --> 00:44:34,266
Ah. Great.
1159
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,734
Ooh. My man, Liam.
1160
00:44:35,867 --> 00:44:36,867
Hi, Coach Ben.
1161
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:37,967
Ooh! Ellis in the house!
1162
00:44:38,100 --> 00:44:39,734
My mom made us cookies.
1163
00:44:39,867 --> 00:44:42,200
[Ben] Victory cookies.
Digging it! Thanks, Mom.
1164
00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:43,567
[inhales deeply]
There he is.
1165
00:44:43,700 --> 00:44:44,867
My MVP.
1166
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:45,867
You ready, Jayce?
1167
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,133
Yeah.
1168
00:44:47,266 --> 00:44:49,433
[chuckles] Yeah, you are.
1169
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,734
Adorable overload.
1170
00:44:55,867 --> 00:44:57,700
Yeah. The kids are cute,
too, right?
1171
00:44:57,834 --> 00:45:00,467
They definitely have
hero worship.
1172
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,200
I'd just call it being honest.
1173
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:04,467
Hey, you'd better be bringing it
today, Cottridge,
1174
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,934
because Winters Wonderland
definitely is.
1175
00:45:07,066 --> 00:45:09,734
Uh, well, get ready
for a challenge.
1176
00:45:09,867 --> 00:45:11,300
You know I love a challenge.
1177
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,900
All right, Ben.
You're up next, Ben.
1178
00:45:16,033 --> 00:45:18,066
All right, boys.
Let's do it. Come on.
1179
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,100
[boys] We got this.
1180
00:45:20,233 --> 00:45:22,233
What?
1181
00:45:22,367 --> 00:45:24,400
"You know
I love a challenge," huh?
1182
00:45:24,533 --> 00:45:25,734
I get it.
1183
00:45:25,867 --> 00:45:28,033
That boy is
your great white buffalo.
1184
00:45:28,166 --> 00:45:30,233
My "great white buffalo"?
1185
00:45:30,367 --> 00:45:33,200
Ma, are you quoting Ted Nugent
on the dangers of overhunting?
1186
00:45:33,333 --> 00:45:35,300
It means
"the one who got away."
1187
00:45:35,433 --> 00:45:36,867
Mom, Ben is not
"the one who got awa--"
1188
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,867
I have more regret
1189
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,600
over ordering pizza instead of
calzone for lunch yesterday.
1190
00:45:40,734 --> 00:45:41,900
Right.
1191
00:45:42,033 --> 00:45:43,600
[sighs]
1192
00:45:43,734 --> 00:45:45,300
Okay, fine.
1193
00:45:45,433 --> 00:45:48,867
Maybe there's a smidge
of residual emotion,
1194
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,200
but not regret.
1195
00:45:50,333 --> 00:45:51,967
And Ben didn't "get away,"
1196
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:54,467
Ben pushed me away.
1197
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,633
And if we can be civil,
then that's a win.
1198
00:45:57,767 --> 00:45:58,900
'Cause I don't want to spend
another ten years
1199
00:45:59,033 --> 00:46:00,500
harboring a grudge against him.
1200
00:46:00,633 --> 00:46:02,667
Agree.
1201
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,166
I'm just saying...
1202
00:46:04,300 --> 00:46:05,934
please, be careful with him.
1203
00:46:06,066 --> 00:46:07,200
Yeah, I get it.
1204
00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:09,133
You were never a fan.
1205
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:12,200
Oh, Ben Winters
has enough fans.
1206
00:46:12,333 --> 00:46:13,667
I just don't want him
to hurt you again.
1207
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:14,667
Okay?
1208
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,834
[♪♪]
1209
00:46:17,967 --> 00:46:20,767
Now, let's get this
scrunched up.
1210
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:22,467
[laughing] Mom.
1211
00:46:23,834 --> 00:46:26,967
Okay, guys.
1212
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:28,600
-[slap]
-Let's do it.
1213
00:46:28,734 --> 00:46:29,767
Hi. Ready?
1214
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:31,133
[quietly] Yeah.
1215
00:46:31,266 --> 00:46:32,867
What's up? You nervous?
1216
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,033
I don't know.
1217
00:46:35,166 --> 00:46:37,100
Maybe a little.
1218
00:46:37,233 --> 00:46:38,633
I mean, what if I make us lose?
1219
00:46:40,767 --> 00:46:42,300
Oh. Uh...
1220
00:46:44,667 --> 00:46:46,800
One, you won't, okay?
1221
00:46:46,934 --> 00:46:48,934
And, two...
1222
00:46:49,066 --> 00:46:52,533
winning,
it isn't everything.
1223
00:46:52,667 --> 00:46:54,700
Of course, it is,
1224
00:46:54,834 --> 00:46:58,133
because if you win,
then people like you.
1225
00:46:58,266 --> 00:47:01,500
What do you mean by that?
1226
00:47:01,633 --> 00:47:03,567
Like, if I get
a baseball scholarship
1227
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:04,700
and go pro,
1228
00:47:04,834 --> 00:47:07,000
then I'll be famous
1229
00:47:07,133 --> 00:47:08,834
and everyone will know me.
1230
00:47:08,967 --> 00:47:11,500
I'll be someone.
1231
00:47:11,633 --> 00:47:12,600
Like you.
1232
00:47:14,834 --> 00:47:17,100
[Marty] Let's welcome
Winters Wonderland
1233
00:47:17,233 --> 00:47:19,734
and his team of elves
to the stage.
1234
00:47:19,867 --> 00:47:21,100
You got this. Okay?
1235
00:47:21,233 --> 00:47:22,433
Let's go.
1236
00:47:22,567 --> 00:47:24,934
Okay. We got this.
Let's go, guys. Come on.
1237
00:47:25,066 --> 00:47:27,467
Let's do it.
All right. Here we go.
1238
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,266
Are you good?
You ready? You guys ready?
1239
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,667
Okay. Here we go.

Yes! Yes. Aw, dude.
1253
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,400
We have been scooped
by the Bad News Bears!
1254
00:48:16,533 --> 00:48:18,233
What are we gonna do?
"Deck the Halls" was our song.
1255

Those kids are ringers

Oh, Mom,
you're dating yourself.

Oh, why did Ben
have to pick that song?
1260

He knows
it's my second favorite.
1261
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:31,300
Well, maybe he picked it
because he was hoping
1262
00:48:31,433 --> 00:48:33,000
you'd perform
your first-favorite carol.

Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
Not gonna happen.

I did.

Actually, I remembered
a lot of things.

Yeah?
1297
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,433
Well, not "remembered,"
but realized.
1298
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,834
I suddenly understand
how much of my life
1299
00:50:02,967 --> 00:50:05,367
I've spent
trying to be the best.
1300

Trying to win,
trying to...
1301
00:50:07,633 --> 00:50:09,967
win people over to prove
that I was good enough,
1302
00:50:10,100 --> 00:50:11,533
but I-I realize
1303
00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:13,333
I was just trying to prove it
to myself,
1304
00:50:13,467 --> 00:50:14,500
because I didn't believe it.
1305
00:50:15,934 --> 00:50:17,166

I've spent all of these years
blaming you

for what went wrong between us,
1309
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,734
but it was my fault, too.
1310
00:50:28,867 --> 00:50:30,734
Our inability
to be a partnership--
1311
00:50:30,867 --> 00:50:32,000
that was half me,
1312
00:50:32,133 --> 00:50:34,033
so I need to take
responsibility.

Lara, I am so sorry I hurt you.

hurt the ones that we...

a box of chocolates, right?

I mean, you said
you wanted to be famous, right?

You wanted to "be someone"
so people would like you.

Unfortunately, it doesn't really
work like that.

of people liking you

like yourself,

to how things were.

for a while
1433
00:55:21,066 --> 00:55:22,967
and try to find
what gives my life meaning?
1434
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:26,400
Then I'd be proud of you.
1435
00:55:26,533 --> 00:55:27,767
[Lara scoffs lightly]
1436
00:55:27,900 --> 00:55:29,467
Would you really?
1437
00:55:31,567 --> 00:55:33,533
You know, I'm...
1438
00:55:33,667 --> 00:55:35,967
gonna go take these
back to the girls.
1439
00:55:39,367 --> 00:55:41,700
[♪♪]
1440
00:55:46,867 --> 00:55:48,533
What are you doing?
1441
00:55:48,667 --> 00:55:49,867
Proving Camus wrong.
1442
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,233
Here. Let me.
I'm good at this.
1443
00:55:53,367 --> 00:55:54,467
Okay.
1444
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,600
What's going on?
1445
00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:02,200
Oh, come on.
I see you, Cottridge.
1446
00:56:04,367 --> 00:56:05,900
I guess everything
1447
00:56:06,033 --> 00:56:07,467
just kind of
feels off-kilter.
1448
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,233
Hmm.
1449
00:56:09,367 --> 00:56:12,567
Like this was supposed to be
just a fun little contest,
1450
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:14,734
and somehow, it's turned into
way more than that.
1451
00:56:14,867 --> 00:56:16,100
[laughs] Yeah.
1452
00:56:17,467 --> 00:56:18,734
And soon, it'll be over,
1453
00:56:18,867 --> 00:56:20,400
and I don't know
what comes next.
1454
00:56:20,533 --> 00:56:21,467
Well, I get it.
1455
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,800
The last two weeks
have just been--
1456
00:56:23,934 --> 00:56:25,667
they've been amazing,
1457
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,133
and you know,
I never thought I'd say this,
1458
00:56:28,266 --> 00:56:30,667
but I actually love
working with kids.
1459
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,967
Turns out, feeling like
you're making a difference
1460
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:34,300
actually helps you get
out of bed in the morning.
1461
00:56:34,433 --> 00:56:35,867
Who would've thunk?
1462
00:56:37,900 --> 00:56:40,400
Okay. Wow, miracle-worker.
1463
00:56:40,533 --> 00:56:43,100
[Lara] Well, it was
always my favorite job.
1464
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:44,100
Hon'?
1465
00:56:44,233 --> 00:56:45,500
Oh.
1466
00:56:45,633 --> 00:56:47,000
The girls are exhausted
1467
00:56:47,133 --> 00:56:49,233
and want to head back
to the center.
1468
00:56:49,367 --> 00:56:50,967
Want to ride back with us?
1469
00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:52,900
Unwind with
a round of gin rummy?
1470
00:56:53,033 --> 00:56:54,633
Or better yet, some poker?
1471
00:56:54,767 --> 00:56:56,166
I'm behind at work.
1472
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:58,667
I should crunch.
1473
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,967
But, hey, Donna, um...
1474
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:03,133
if, uh, if you're looking
for an extra poker player,
1475
00:57:03,266 --> 00:57:04,233
well...
1476
00:57:05,467 --> 00:57:06,433
I'd be down.
1477
00:57:08,133 --> 00:57:10,433
Sure. If you're in the mood
to get crushed.
1478
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,533
Come on.
1479
00:57:13,667 --> 00:57:16,000
[♪♪]
1480
00:57:26,834 --> 00:57:28,467
"Full House" Winters!
1481
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,734
F.G.W.!
1482
00:57:30,867 --> 00:57:33,433
[Ben grunts victoriously]
1483
00:57:35,033 --> 00:57:38,600
Martha, how about
we scrounge up some cider?
1484
00:57:43,867 --> 00:57:46,667
So are you just upset with
my impressive poker skills
1485
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:47,767
or me in general?
1486
00:57:51,133 --> 00:57:53,367
Donna, I know
you don't like me.
1487
00:57:53,500 --> 00:57:55,667
It's not
that I don't like you, Ben.
1488
00:57:57,500 --> 00:57:58,934
You know, I haven't
been a perfect mother.
1489
00:58:00,934 --> 00:58:04,467
And I may have
unwittingly led by example
1490
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,800
and taught Lara
to guard her heart.
1491
00:58:08,734 --> 00:58:10,767
But you proved me right.
1492
00:58:10,900 --> 00:58:12,467
You broke her heart.
1493
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,300
I know.
1494
00:58:15,433 --> 00:58:17,834
And I can tell you I'm never
gonna forgive myself for that...
1495
00:58:18,934 --> 00:58:19,967
...but...
1496
00:58:21,567 --> 00:58:25,500
...maybe this is my chance
to prove you wrong.
1497
00:58:26,900 --> 00:58:29,233
[♪♪]
1498
00:58:30,667 --> 00:58:31,633
Guess what, Jingle Ladies?
1499
00:58:31,767 --> 00:58:33,033
Ben here just offered
1500
00:58:33,166 --> 00:58:35,467
to use his poker winnings
to buy us all dinner.
1501
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,233
Whoo-hoo!
1502
00:58:39,533 --> 00:58:42,800
Please prove me wrong, Ben.
1503
00:58:46,533 --> 00:58:49,000
[knocking]
1504
00:58:53,867 --> 00:58:56,433
Hi. Come in.
1505
00:58:56,567 --> 00:58:58,633
What are you doing here?
1506
00:58:58,767 --> 00:59:00,700
Your mom wanted me
to bring this to you.
1507
00:59:00,834 --> 00:59:03,600
Something about
a calzone you let get away?
1508
00:59:03,734 --> 00:59:05,533
[Lara snickers]
1509
00:59:06,934 --> 00:59:08,500
How's the work crunch going?
1510
00:59:08,633 --> 00:59:10,767
Oh, it's not.
1511
00:59:10,900 --> 00:59:13,433
Honestly, I'd rather be doing
literally anything else.
1512
00:59:13,567 --> 00:59:15,333
Or nothing at all,
1513
00:59:15,467 --> 00:59:18,934
just lie on the floor
and stare at the ceiling.
1514
00:59:19,066 --> 00:59:21,367
Well, let's lie on the floor
and stare at the ceiling.
1515
00:59:23,567 --> 00:59:24,667
[laughing]
1516
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,166
See? It's a reindeer.
1517
00:59:26,300 --> 00:59:28,967
It really does look
like a reindeer.
1518
00:59:30,567 --> 00:59:33,700
Oh, how do I get by in life,
you may wonder?
1519
00:59:33,834 --> 00:59:34,934
On charm, mainly.
1520
00:59:35,066 --> 00:59:36,767
[Lara chuckles]
1521
00:59:36,900 --> 00:59:38,834
[♪♪]
1522
00:59:38,967 --> 00:59:39,934
What?
1523
00:59:40,066 --> 00:59:41,967
I just forgot...
1524
00:59:42,100 --> 00:59:44,100
or I wanted to forget--
1525
00:59:44,233 --> 00:59:46,400
what a force of nature
you are.
1526
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,967
You know what
I always said about you?
1527
00:59:51,100 --> 00:59:54,200
You have the power
to turn my world upside-down.
1528
00:59:58,133 --> 01:00:00,066
But can you live
upside-down?
1529
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,967
Lara, I've never stopped
thinking about you.
1530
01:00:05,767 --> 01:00:07,367
I've thought about you
all these years
1531
01:00:07,500 --> 01:00:09,767
and I still think about you.
1532
01:00:09,900 --> 01:00:12,300
I'm just scared I'm never gonna
stop thinking about you.
1533
01:00:16,233 --> 01:00:18,967
You know, just...
sharing.
1534
01:00:19,100 --> 01:00:21,133
You can take that
with a grain of salt.
1535
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,667
I take it with
more than a grain of salt, Ben.
1536
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,600
But you loved me...
1537
01:00:28,734 --> 01:00:30,533
you dumped me,
1538
01:00:30,667 --> 01:00:32,834
so...
1539
01:00:32,967 --> 01:00:34,266
you can't expect me
1540
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,633
to once again
run breathless into your arms.
1541
01:00:41,767 --> 01:00:42,633
I should get home.
1542
01:00:42,767 --> 01:00:45,166
[claps his thighs]
1543
01:00:45,300 --> 01:00:47,433
There's still enough time
to waste the entire night
1544
01:00:47,567 --> 01:00:49,667
trying to figure out what to get
my grandma for Christmas.
1545
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,934
Massage gun.
1546
01:00:52,066 --> 01:00:53,800
I did that last year.
She used it as a plunger.
1547
01:00:53,934 --> 01:00:54,867
Ew!
1548
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,033
-[laughs]
-Ew.
1549
01:00:58,166 --> 01:01:00,767
Man, I wish I could
go back in time.
1550
01:01:00,900 --> 01:01:04,200
You know, not just to set
some things right...
1551
01:01:07,867 --> 01:01:09,700
...but to feel
some things twice.
1552
01:01:15,066 --> 01:01:16,767
I'm gonna go.
1553
01:01:19,533 --> 01:01:20,867
Ben.
1554
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,567
Know what my mom said about you?
1555
01:01:26,700 --> 01:01:28,433
[laughs] No,
and I probably don't want to.
1556
01:01:30,533 --> 01:01:32,066
She told me
1557
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:33,467
you're
my great white buffalo...
1558
01:01:35,066 --> 01:01:36,800
...the one who got away.

You're awesome.

01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:04,900
[laughing and chatting,
indistinct]
1563
01:02:06,667 --> 01:02:07,633
Hey.
1564
01:02:07,767 --> 01:02:10,166
Oh.
1565
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:13,600
Shouldn't you be
working on your tree, Benjy?
1566
01:02:13,734 --> 01:02:15,200
Ahh! I have tree-block.
1567
01:02:15,333 --> 01:02:17,367
Grandma, I could use some inspo.
1568
01:02:17,500 --> 01:02:20,567
You gotta tell me--
what's Lara's tree theme?
1569
01:02:21,967 --> 01:02:22,867
-Oh!

1570
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,700
You are such a traitor!
1571
01:02:24,834 --> 01:02:27,266
Well, I got you
a little something.
1572
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,033
It's an early Christmas present.
1573
01:02:29,166 --> 01:02:30,867
It's a spa package
for you and your team.
1574
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,567
Oh...
1575
01:02:33,900 --> 01:02:35,834
But you hate it.
1576
01:02:35,967 --> 01:02:37,333
I don't hate it,
it's just...
1577
01:02:37,467 --> 01:02:40,266
I'm not sure
I'll keep seeing the gals.
1578
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,834
Why not?
You obviously like them.
1579
01:02:41,967 --> 01:02:43,200
Yeah, but...
1580
01:02:43,333 --> 01:02:46,800
I'm old
and I'm settled in my ways.
1581
01:02:46,934 --> 01:02:48,066
Well, you don't have to be.

01:02:56,333 --> 01:02:58,734

[♪♪]
1585
01:03:11,667 --> 01:03:12,533
Oh. Hi.

Hi.
1587
01:03:13,700 --> 01:03:15,233
Wow.
1588
01:03:15,367 --> 01:03:16,667
Wherever you were right there
1589
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,100
must be almost as beautiful
as you look right now.
1590
01:03:20,533 --> 01:03:21,934
So you happy
with the party prep?
1591
01:03:22,066 --> 01:03:24,033
Very happy.
1592
01:03:24,166 --> 01:03:26,900
I think this is gonna be
the best Christmas party--
1593
01:03:27,033 --> 01:03:28,266
actually...
1594
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,033
best Christmas ever.
1595
01:03:30,166 --> 01:03:31,133
Mm.
1596
01:03:32,333 --> 01:03:34,767
Best Christmas ever so far.
1597
01:03:34,900 --> 01:03:35,900
Mm.
1598
01:03:36,033 --> 01:03:37,467
I stand corrected.
1599
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,100
Can I have this dance?
1600
01:03:41,233 --> 01:03:44,000
They're playing a slow song.
1601
01:03:44,133 --> 01:03:45,266
There's no music.
1602
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,533
Oh, there is in my daydream.
1603
01:03:49,066 --> 01:03:50,600
Oh, so smooth.
1604
01:03:50,734 --> 01:03:51,767
Amongst other things.
1605
01:03:53,066 --> 01:03:54,433
Definitely charming.
1606
01:03:54,567 --> 01:03:57,066
Oh, well, when you're through
being charmed by me,
1607
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,433
I'll make sure to remind you
to find me annoying again.
1608
01:04:01,367 --> 01:04:02,800
[whispers] But what if
1609
01:04:02,934 --> 01:04:05,600
you're never through
being charmed by me?
1610
01:04:05,734 --> 01:04:07,433
[♪♪]
1611
01:04:09,266 --> 01:04:11,300
So you think you're gonna win?
1612
01:04:11,433 --> 01:04:12,633
You think you're gonna win?
1613
01:04:12,767 --> 01:04:14,100
I asked you first.
1614
01:04:14,233 --> 01:04:18,166
Honestly?
1615
01:04:18,300 --> 01:04:20,166
I truly don't care
about winning anymore.
1616
01:04:20,300 --> 01:04:21,900
-Mm.
-What about you?
1617
01:04:22,033 --> 01:04:23,266
I already won.
1618
01:04:24,967 --> 01:04:26,300
As preciously stated,
1619
01:04:26,433 --> 01:04:28,867
so smooth.
1620
01:04:30,867 --> 01:04:34,333
Oh, I have some big news
I wanna share with you.
1621
01:04:34,467 --> 01:04:37,734
So you know how I've been doing
this "Winters Session" camp?
1622
01:04:37,867 --> 01:04:39,333
I have decided to turn it
1623
01:04:39,467 --> 01:04:41,600
into a year-round
sports non-profit for kids.
1624
01:04:43,133 --> 01:04:44,700
Wow... really?
1625
01:04:46,467 --> 01:04:48,300
Yeah, really.
I mean, it's a good idea, right?
1626
01:04:48,433 --> 01:04:50,834
Uh... I...
1627
01:04:50,967 --> 01:04:53,000
Yes, i-it's amazing,
1628
01:04:53,133 --> 01:04:54,433
it's wonderful, noble.
1629
01:04:54,567 --> 01:04:57,300
But it's a huge undertaking.
1630
01:04:57,433 --> 01:04:59,900
There's a massive
difference between
1631
01:05:00,100 --> 01:05:02,000
a ten-day program
1632
01:05:02,133 --> 01:05:04,467
and running
a year-round nonprofit.
1633
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:05,533
Yeah, but different
is good, right?
1634
01:05:05,667 --> 01:05:06,633
I mean, isn't this what we said?
1635
01:05:06,767 --> 01:05:08,066
That we want our lives
to be different?
1636
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:09,567
-Yes.
-Okay.
1637
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:11,500
Well, then we've got
to take a leap.
1638
01:05:11,633 --> 01:05:12,734
I mean, you said
that you're not fulfilled
1639
01:05:12,867 --> 01:05:14,200
in your life and job,
1640
01:05:14,333 --> 01:05:15,300
and you want meaning,
1641
01:05:15,433 --> 01:05:16,467
so do it,
1642
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,800
and do it with me.
1643
01:05:18,934 --> 01:05:21,300
Together or separate--
w-whatever.
1644
01:05:21,433 --> 01:05:22,734
Just find something
that fulfills you.
1645
01:05:22,867 --> 01:05:24,400
You could even work with me
at the nonprofit,
1646
01:05:24,533 --> 01:05:26,400
if you wanted to,
1647
01:05:26,533 --> 01:05:28,200
but let's just burn some bridges
1648
01:05:28,333 --> 01:05:30,266
and let the flames
light the way.
1649
01:05:31,834 --> 01:05:34,300
[♪♪]
1650
01:05:34,433 --> 01:05:36,333
What--
What's that look?
1651
01:05:38,467 --> 01:05:40,567
It's just I have
heard this all before.
1652
01:05:40,700 --> 01:05:43,967
"Let's take the leap,
let's interweave our lives."
1653
01:05:44,100 --> 01:05:46,200
And then you come off your high
1654
01:05:46,333 --> 01:05:49,500
and remember you're just
a "lone wolf at heart."
1655
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,400
I don't know.
Maybe I've changed.
1656
01:05:53,934 --> 01:05:56,100
[♪♪]
1657
01:05:59,433 --> 01:06:00,800
I got to go meet my team.
1658
01:06:03,533 --> 01:06:05,066
[text alert chimes]
1659
01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:12,300
[sighing]
1660
01:06:14,533 --> 01:06:17,066
[♪♪]
1661
01:06:21,066 --> 01:06:23,333
[quietly] Maybe
I'm the one who's changed.
1662
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,233
Working at McLeeds
has been an honor,
1663
01:06:28,367 --> 01:06:31,400
but I've been here
for 12 years,
1664
01:06:31,533 --> 01:06:32,967
and I want a change.
1665
01:06:33,100 --> 01:06:35,900
And I don't know exactly
what that change is,
1666
01:06:36,033 --> 01:06:37,300
but I know I need to make
a first step...
1667
01:06:37,433 --> 01:06:38,867
[deep breath]
1668
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,033
...so I'm resigning as C.O.O.,
1669
01:06:41,166 --> 01:06:42,433
but I'd like to move into
a consulting position,
1670
01:06:42,567 --> 01:06:43,800
if you'll have me.
1671
01:06:43,934 --> 01:06:47,033
Well, of course,
we'll have you, but...
1672
01:06:47,166 --> 01:06:49,033
Lara, are you really sure?
1673
01:06:49,166 --> 01:06:51,367
Maybe you should take some time
to think this over.
1674
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:54,233
I know things have been hectic,
1675
01:06:54,367 --> 01:06:55,734
but we could put a pin in this
until after the holidays,
1676
01:06:55,867 --> 01:06:58,133
when things return
to status quo.
1677
01:06:58,266 --> 01:06:59,633
That's the problem.
1678
01:06:59,767 --> 01:07:02,467
I don't want
to return to status quo.
1679
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,233
But what are you gonna do?
1680
01:07:06,133 --> 01:07:07,967
I don't know.
1681
01:07:08,100 --> 01:07:09,500
I think...
1682
01:07:09,633 --> 01:07:11,667
I'm gonna burn some bridges
1683
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,533
and let the flames
light the way.
1684
01:07:16,233 --> 01:07:18,467
[♪♪]
1685
01:07:20,166 --> 01:07:21,700
Oh, you're late!
1686
01:07:21,834 --> 01:07:23,500
The girls are inside,
waiting to start on the tree.
1687
01:07:23,633 --> 01:07:24,834
Yeah, sorry,
I was held up at work.
1688
01:07:24,967 --> 01:07:26,266
Mm.
1689
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,300
Um... actually, some news.
1690
01:07:30,100 --> 01:07:32,133
I stepped down as C.O.O..
1691
01:07:32,266 --> 01:07:35,200
I'm moving into a consulting
position at McLeeds.
1692
01:07:35,333 --> 01:07:36,333
Okay.
1693
01:07:36,467 --> 01:07:38,266
And I might help
1694
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:40,834
Ben turn his sports camp into
a year-round nonprofit.
1695
01:07:40,967 --> 01:07:42,433
Lara!
1696
01:07:42,567 --> 01:07:44,400
You quit your job for Ben?
1697
01:07:45,500 --> 01:07:46,600
I quit it for me.
1698
01:07:46,734 --> 01:07:48,467
I don't want that life anymore.
1699
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,166
And you could at least try
1700
01:07:50,300 --> 01:07:51,800
to veil
your blatant disapproval.
1701
01:07:51,934 --> 01:07:54,867
I just want you to have
what I couldn't.
1702
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,500
But have you ever asked
if that's what I want, Mom?
1703
01:07:57,633 --> 01:08:00,433
To be a winner?
To be "the best"?
1704
01:08:00,567 --> 01:08:02,934
And if I can't be
who you want me to be--
1705
01:08:03,066 --> 01:08:06,266
if you can't live through me--
1706
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,333
can you still love me?
1707
01:08:08,467 --> 01:08:09,800
How could you
even think that?
1708
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:14,500
I'm gonna head in.
1709
01:08:14,633 --> 01:08:16,133
The girls are waiting.

[♪♪]
1711
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:30,433
Hey. Big day tomorrow.
1712
01:08:30,567 --> 01:08:32,033
You finish your tree?
1713
01:08:32,166 --> 01:08:33,433
Uh, just about.
1714
01:08:33,567 --> 01:08:35,367
Mom and the girls left
a little while ago.
1715
01:08:35,500 --> 01:08:36,867
-You?
-Yeah.
1716
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,700
Yeah, the boys were tired.
Chuck took 'em home.
1717
01:08:39,834 --> 01:08:41,600
So, obviously, we need to talk.
1718
01:08:41,734 --> 01:08:43,367
Yes, we do.
1719
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:44,967
I know I kind of
shut down yesterday,
1720
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:47,133
but I've been thinking
a lot more about what you said--
1721
01:08:47,266 --> 01:08:49,033
just taking the leap,
1722
01:08:49,166 --> 01:08:50,567
separately, together--
1723
01:08:50,700 --> 01:08:52,300
building something
with meaning.
1724
01:08:52,433 --> 01:08:55,066
And yes, I am scared
but I'm also...
1725
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,967
What's that expression?
1726
01:08:58,100 --> 01:08:59,567
I-I don't know.
1727
01:08:59,700 --> 01:09:01,667
I've also been thinking
about what you said yesterday,
1728
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,300
and you know,
maybe you're right.
1729
01:09:04,433 --> 01:09:06,333
I mean, what happens if,
when I come off my high,
1730
01:09:06,467 --> 01:09:08,367
and I am still
just a lone wolf,
1731
01:09:08,500 --> 01:09:09,433
and I hurt you?
1732
01:09:09,567 --> 01:09:10,467
So I'm thinking that maybe
1733
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:12,633
we slow our roll a little
1734
01:09:12,767 --> 01:09:14,433
and we hold steady a while.
1735
01:09:14,567 --> 01:09:16,467
and I stick with endorsements
and you stay at McLeeds,
1736
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,467
and then we see
what shakes out.
1737
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:20,700
Ben, that would be
a great option
1738
01:09:20,834 --> 01:09:23,367
if I hadn't just quit my job
this morning.
1739
01:09:23,500 --> 01:09:24,667
What? You quit your job?
1740
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,967
Ben, come on.
I know you're scared, but...
1741
01:09:29,667 --> 01:09:31,166
Actually, no.
1742
01:09:31,300 --> 01:09:34,133
No, I am not doing this again.
1743
01:09:34,266 --> 01:09:36,533
I'm not gonna
beg you to be with me.
1744
01:09:36,667 --> 01:09:38,100
I'm freaking amazing!
1745
01:09:38,233 --> 01:09:41,333
But I want you to know
that I believe you can change.
1746
01:09:41,467 --> 01:09:43,433
I believe you can be better.
1747
01:09:43,567 --> 01:09:45,200
Because I know
who you really are,
1748
01:09:45,333 --> 01:09:46,333
and I can't even believe
1749
01:09:46,467 --> 01:09:47,500
you're not trying
to be that person,
1750
01:09:47,633 --> 01:09:49,100
because I am trying.
1751
01:09:49,233 --> 01:09:50,600
Lara, we both know
that you're better than me.
1752
01:09:50,734 --> 01:09:51,867
-Oh!
-You're too good for me and--
1753
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,000
Oh, wow. We are right back
to where we were.
1754
01:09:55,133 --> 01:09:56,800
But of course we are,
because how could I think
1755
01:09:56,934 --> 01:09:59,734
that anything would be different
when we'd always be the same?
1756
01:10:01,433 --> 01:10:03,033
We will never
be a partnership.
1757
01:10:03,166 --> 01:10:04,700
We'll never be a team.
1758
01:10:04,834 --> 01:10:06,533
We'll always be a zero-sum game,
1759
01:10:06,667 --> 01:10:09,467
where someone will win
and someone will lose,
1760
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,033
except we both lose.
1761
01:10:11,166 --> 01:10:12,300
-Lara.
-No.
1762
01:10:12,433 --> 01:10:13,500
We have
to get through tomorrow.
1763
01:10:13,633 --> 01:10:14,533
Lara, I'm sorry, I--
1764
01:10:14,667 --> 01:10:16,300
No. Go.
1765
01:10:16,433 --> 01:10:18,567

All I ever wanted
1784
01:11:53,567 --> 01:11:57,200
was to teach you to be strong,
and independent,
1785
01:11:57,333 --> 01:11:59,100
and prepared for this world,
1786
01:11:59,233 --> 01:12:00,266
like I wasn't.
1787
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,066
But in doing that,
1788
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:04,800
I forgot to teach you
the importance
1789
01:12:04,934 --> 01:12:07,367
of also being soft
and vulnerable.
1790
01:12:08,533 --> 01:12:10,467
And I am sorry.
1791
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,400
I'm not perfect.
1792
01:12:12,533 --> 01:12:15,000
And being your mom
has been some work.
1793
01:12:17,133 --> 01:12:19,667
But you also
blew my heart wide open
1794
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,533
and you've taught me
a better person.
1795
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,767
Thank you, Lara,
for this work.
1796
01:12:26,900 --> 01:12:29,000
Thank you for teaching me.
1797
01:12:29,133 --> 01:12:31,834
And I know that things
need to change--
1798
01:12:31,967 --> 01:12:33,333
we need some boundaries.
1799
01:12:35,133 --> 01:12:38,700
I know that I cannot keep
living my life through you.
1800
01:12:40,233 --> 01:12:42,667
So please just be patient
with me, huh?
1801
01:12:46,033 --> 01:12:47,166
[Donna breathes deeply]
1802
01:12:47,300 --> 01:12:49,333
Okay.
1803
01:12:49,467 --> 01:12:52,500
Now, what are
we gonna do about Ben?
1804
01:12:52,633 --> 01:12:54,166
Oh...
1805
01:12:54,300 --> 01:12:56,533
There's nothing to do.
1806
01:12:59,533 --> 01:13:02,967
But these past few weeks,
I have been...
1807
01:13:03,100 --> 01:13:06,567
shown something I've needed
to realize for years--
1808
01:13:06,700 --> 01:13:08,734
that I want
things to be different.
1809
01:13:08,867 --> 01:13:11,400
I want my relationships
to be different
1810
01:13:11,533 --> 01:13:15,567
with... with work and love,
with you.
1811
01:13:15,700 --> 01:13:17,834
And most importantly,
with myself.
1812
01:13:17,967 --> 01:13:18,934
[sniffles]
1813
01:13:20,867 --> 01:13:22,667
But as for me and Ben?
1814
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:23,967
We will always be the same,
1815
01:13:24,100 --> 01:13:26,500
so there's nothing to do.
1816
01:13:28,133 --> 01:13:29,800
But I am grateful
I re-met him,
1817
01:13:29,934 --> 01:13:31,233
'cause he's always had
1818
01:13:31,367 --> 01:13:34,734
the power to turn my world
upside-down and...
1819
01:13:34,867 --> 01:13:37,767
my world needed
an upside-downing.
1820
01:13:40,667 --> 01:13:42,834
[♪♪]
1821
01:13:44,867 --> 01:13:46,233
Hey, Grandma.
1822
01:13:46,367 --> 01:13:48,233
What happened?
1823
01:13:48,367 --> 01:13:53,200
Oh, I guess she remembered
who I really am
1824
01:13:53,333 --> 01:13:55,700
and realized that people
don't actually change.
1825
01:13:55,834 --> 01:13:57,200
Benjy.
1826
01:13:57,333 --> 01:14:00,300
Remember how I told you
about Grandpa Charlie
1827
01:14:00,433 --> 01:14:02,433
and the tennis bracelet
he wanted to buy?
1828
01:14:02,567 --> 01:14:03,700
Of course.
1829
01:14:03,834 --> 01:14:06,367
The truth is,
1830
01:14:06,500 --> 01:14:08,867
it was more than
just a bracelet to him.
1831
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,433
It was a symbol.
1832
01:14:10,567 --> 01:14:11,934
It was Charlie's way of saying
1833
01:14:12,066 --> 01:14:15,900
he wanted
a grow-together kind of love.
1834
01:14:16,033 --> 01:14:17,967
And now, not a day goes by
1835
01:14:18,100 --> 01:14:20,467
that I don't wish
I could've given him that time,
1836
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,300
that growth...
1837
01:14:23,867 --> 01:14:25,633
And he would've wanted me
to grow,
1838
01:14:25,767 --> 01:14:28,266
even after he's gone.
1839
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,100
And he would've been
so grateful to you
1840
01:14:30,233 --> 01:14:31,367
for pushing me
out of my comfort zone.
1841
01:14:31,500 --> 01:14:33,567
[Ben] Ah.
1842
01:14:33,700 --> 01:14:36,233
Hey, Bernie.
1843
01:14:36,367 --> 01:14:38,867
Well, if you're here to tell me
that I proved you right--
1844
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,800
you are right.
1845
01:14:40,934 --> 01:14:42,934
Lara's better off
without me.
1846
01:14:43,066 --> 01:14:45,834
So? What are you
gonna do about it?
1847
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,800
What should I do about it?
1848
01:14:48,934 --> 01:14:50,133
Well, fight for her!
1849
01:14:51,734 --> 01:14:52,967
Ben, listen.
1850
01:14:54,367 --> 01:14:57,767
Life is a hand each
of wonder and loss.
1851
01:14:57,900 --> 01:15:00,533
We search for meaning
1852
01:15:00,667 --> 01:15:02,500
and we find it...
1853
01:15:02,633 --> 01:15:04,033
we lose it.
1854
01:15:04,166 --> 01:15:06,600
And we search again...
1855
01:15:06,734 --> 01:15:09,100
not realizing
1856
01:15:09,233 --> 01:15:12,233
that the answer is right there,
in front of us the whole time.
1857
01:15:13,734 --> 01:15:16,867
So... you know
the meaning of life?
1858
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,500
Of course we do!
1859
01:15:18,633 --> 01:15:19,800
And so do you.
1860
01:15:19,934 --> 01:15:22,367
Oh, and Ben,
um, I checked out your tree.
1861
01:15:22,500 --> 01:15:24,533
It is so cute!
1862
01:15:24,667 --> 01:15:26,600
But we need way more
than cute here, okay?
1863
01:15:26,734 --> 01:15:28,033
-I...
-So, luckily,
1864
01:15:28,166 --> 01:15:30,133
I called in reinforcements.
1865
01:15:32,066 --> 01:15:33,867
Come on, Bernie.
1866
01:15:37,900 --> 01:15:40,500
Look, I appreciate
you being here,
1867
01:15:40,633 --> 01:15:42,200
but you shouldn't have
to pick up my slack.
1868
01:15:42,333 --> 01:15:43,700
Hey, man, this time,
it's my pleasure.
1869
01:15:43,834 --> 01:15:45,367
[Ben chuckles]
1870
01:15:45,500 --> 01:15:47,233
You are a good employee.
1871
01:15:49,900 --> 01:15:51,700
No, you're a good friend.
1872
01:15:51,834 --> 01:15:52,700
There you go.
1873
01:15:52,834 --> 01:15:55,133
You bet I am.
1874
01:15:55,266 --> 01:15:57,467
All right,
what's the game plan?
1875
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:05,533
Let's follow
those ladies' lead.
1876

1877
01:16:09,166 --> 01:16:10,900
The party is wonderful, Lara.
1878
01:16:11,033 --> 01:16:12,700
It's such a success!
1879
01:16:12,834 --> 01:16:13,734
And honey.
1880
01:16:13,867 --> 01:16:15,867
you are such a success.
1881
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,567
In every way.
I'm just so proud of you.
1882

Oh, thanks, Mom.
You inspire me.

-Mm.
-You all do.
1884
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:25,033
You are amazing ladies.

Hello, Denver,
1892
01:16:38,900 --> 01:16:41,033
and welcome
to the most anticipated event
1893
01:16:41,166 --> 01:16:42,033
of the holiday season--
1894
01:16:42,166 --> 01:16:44,867
the Christmas Contest finale!
1895
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,834
[applauding and cheering]
1896
01:16:50,066 --> 01:16:52,767
Today, our contestants will
read their application essay
1897
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:54,900
and then unveil their trees.
1898
01:16:55,033 --> 01:16:57,000
So... take it away, Lara.
1899
01:16:58,734 --> 01:16:59,867
Uh...
1900
01:17:00,066 --> 01:17:03,867
my original essay
said something like,
1901
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,000
"What is Christmas?
1902
01:17:06,133 --> 01:17:09,967
Like life,
it's a time to find meaning."
1903
01:17:10,100 --> 01:17:12,367
But I'm not gonna read
my essay,
1904
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:15,266
because while I managed to wax
philosophical on the topic,
1905
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,033
I-I really didn't know
what I wanted to say,
1906
01:17:18,166 --> 01:17:21,033
but now I do.
1907
01:17:21,166 --> 01:17:24,100
At some point,
we all ask ourselves,
1908
01:17:24,233 --> 01:17:25,767
"What is the meaning of life?"
1909
01:17:25,900 --> 01:17:28,000
And at some point,
1910
01:17:28,133 --> 01:17:29,533
maybe when we fall in love...
1911
01:17:30,967 --> 01:17:32,934
...maybe when
we lose someone...
1912
01:17:33,066 --> 01:17:37,100
we learn the sudden, fleeting
answer to the question--
1913
01:17:37,233 --> 01:17:39,000
an answer that reminds us
1914
01:17:39,133 --> 01:17:42,367
of life's immense possibility
for change.
1915
01:17:42,500 --> 01:17:46,300
Sometimes, that change
gets the better of us.
1916
01:17:46,433 --> 01:17:49,166
Sometimes,
we lose ourselves in it.
1917
01:17:49,300 --> 01:17:51,800
But it's during those moments
of change,
1918
01:17:51,934 --> 01:17:54,266
of love, of loss...
1919
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,166
that we realize
the real question isn't,
1920
01:17:58,300 --> 01:18:00,100
"What is the meaning of life?"
1921
01:18:00,233 --> 01:18:04,800
but rather, "How do I
give my life more meaning?"
1922
01:18:05,900 --> 01:18:07,200
And then...
1923
01:18:07,333 --> 01:18:10,300
Christmas comes
with all the answers.
1924
01:18:11,700 --> 01:18:13,166
Oh.

1926
01:18:19,967 --> 01:18:21,133

[♪♪]
1928
01:18:26,066 --> 01:18:27,200
I didn't decorate it,
1929
01:18:27,333 --> 01:18:29,900
I'm not competing anymore,
1930
01:18:30,033 --> 01:18:32,967
because life
isn't a competition.
1931
01:18:35,367 --> 01:18:37,367
Christmas isn't a competition.

01:18:40,333 --> 01:18:44,367
I'm also
not competing anymore
1933
01:18:44,500 --> 01:18:46,900
and I'm not gonna read my essay
because, well,
1934
01:18:47,033 --> 01:18:49,467
frankly, I didn't mean it
when I wrote it...
1935
01:18:51,133 --> 01:18:52,667
...but I mean it now.
1936
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,633
See, I said that, "Christmas
is a time to be together."
1937
01:18:56,066 --> 01:18:57,600
And that's true.
1938
01:18:57,734 --> 01:18:58,767
Because I learned
1939
01:18:58,900 --> 01:19:01,300
that connection
is all that matters,
1940
01:19:01,433 --> 01:19:04,133
and I... second Lara.
1941
01:19:04,266 --> 01:19:07,133
You know, we spend
so much of our lives
1942
01:19:07,266 --> 01:19:08,266
searching for meaning,
1943
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:09,834
but all I know now
1944
01:19:09,967 --> 01:19:11,834
is that whatever
the meaning of life...
1945
01:19:14,533 --> 01:19:15,934
...we don't find it alone.

just not for the contest,
but...
1950
01:19:34,300 --> 01:19:35,367

you turn my world upside-down.

01:20:16,467 --> 01:20:20,633
and I know that I have
a lot of work to do on myself,
1961
01:20:20,767 --> 01:20:24,100
but I just really hope that
you give me a third chance,
1962
01:20:24,233 --> 01:20:26,467
because I have spent
so much of my life
1963
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:29,100
trying to prove
that I mean something,
1964
01:20:29,233 --> 01:20:30,900
not knowing
what that something is.
1965
01:20:31,033 --> 01:20:34,633
With you, I know.
1966
01:20:34,767 --> 01:20:36,367
We're each other's
great white buffalo.
1967
01:20:39,967 --> 01:20:41,200
Are you ready?
1968
01:20:46,066 --> 01:20:48,233
[♪♪]
1969
01:20:48,367 --> 01:20:50,300
Well, despite neither
contestant following the rules,
1970
01:20:50,433 --> 01:20:53,600
the Christmas Contest winner
is...
1971
01:20:55,133 --> 01:20:56,667
...Lara and Ben!
1972
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,667
[gasping and cheering]
1973
01:20:58,800 --> 01:20:59,867
[all applauding]
1974
01:21:02,333 --> 01:21:03,800
It's a tie!
1975
01:21:03,934 --> 01:21:06,333
So Lara and Ben
will split the money.
1976
01:21:06,467 --> 01:21:08,233
Half will go
to the senior center
1977
01:21:08,367 --> 01:21:11,133
and half will go
to Ben's sports program.
1978
01:21:11,266 --> 01:21:13,066
[audience applauding]
1979
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:14,500
This is perfect!
1980
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:18,367
So this means we can
keep training with you?
1981
01:21:18,500 --> 01:21:20,900
Always, dude.
I'm your coach!
1982
01:21:21,033 --> 01:21:22,800
Yes!
1983
01:21:22,934 --> 01:21:25,100
[♪♪]
1984
01:21:27,300 --> 01:21:29,133
[snapping]
1985
01:21:29,266 --> 01:21:31,000
[quietly]
So are we in this together?
1986
01:21:31,133 --> 01:21:34,066
Are you talking about
the sports program, or...
1987
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:36,533
I'm talking about everything.
1988
01:21:36,667 --> 01:21:38,100
Well, then, I guess
you could say...
1989
01:21:40,367 --> 01:21:43,800
...I am finally ready to fall
breathlessly into your arms.
1990
01:21:43,934 --> 01:21:46,133
[♪♪]
1991
01:21:46,266 --> 01:21:47,467
[ladies giggling]
1992
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:49,233
Come on,
let's celebrate, guys.
1993
01:21:49,367 --> 01:21:52,400
Aw, thank you so much.
1994
01:21:56,033 --> 01:21:57,467
Definitely not
1995
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,367
the best Cottridge
Christmas Eve dinner ever.
1996
01:21:59,500 --> 01:22:01,100
I think it's perfect.
1997
01:22:01,233 --> 01:22:03,467
Oh.
1998
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,967
[♪♪]
1999
01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:11,400
Here, Grandma.
2000
01:22:11,533 --> 01:22:13,500
Thank you.
2001
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:19,233
Hon'. I told you
not to get me anything.
2002
01:22:19,367 --> 01:22:20,734
This one's not from me.
2003
01:22:27,333 --> 01:22:29,000
Oh! [laughing]
2004
01:22:30,500 --> 01:22:33,400
[♪♪]
2005
01:22:52,667 --> 01:22:55,266
Hi. I need to talk to you
about something.
2006
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:56,900
I think I discovered
the meaning of life.
2007
01:22:57,033 --> 01:22:58,467
Oh, yeah?
2008
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,066
-Yeah.
-You gonna tell me?
2009
01:23:01,333 --> 01:23:04,266
Well, I can't tell you...
2010
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:05,400
but, um...
2011
01:23:07,333 --> 01:23:08,900
I can show you.
2012
01:23:10,266 --> 01:23:12,133
[♪♪]
2013
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:22,533
Best kiss ever?
2014
01:23:23,767 --> 01:23:25,200
It's not a contest, Winters.
2015
01:23:26,500 --> 01:23:27,700
But...
2016
01:23:29,066 --> 01:23:31,100
...best kiss ever so far.
2017
01:23:31,233 --> 01:23:33,633
Oh. Well, then...
2018
01:23:35,233 --> 01:23:36,200
