Okay. There you go.
15
00:01:21,349 --> 00:01:23,425
There's a bench right over there
you can put them on.
16
00:01:23,514 --> 00:01:25,679
Please, let me know
if you need any help.
17
00:01:25,762 --> 00:01:27,053
Have fun.
18
00:01:30,509 --> 00:01:32,299
Yeah...
19
00:01:38,586 --> 00:01:40,001
Can you get up?
20
00:01:42,124 --> 00:01:42,999
Can you wait just one minute?
21
00:01:43,124 --> 00:01:44,414
I'll be right back.
22
00:01:52,617 --> 00:01:54,865
Oh, May I?
23
00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:57,572
It's okay. I used
to fall down a lot!
24
00:01:57,655 --> 00:01:58,779
Let me help you up.
25
00:01:58,904 --> 00:02:00,362
Ooh, got it.
26
00:02:00,445 --> 00:02:01,443
What's your name?
27
00:02:01,486 --> 00:02:02,817
Grace.
28
00:02:02,943 --> 00:02:04,733
Grace, I'm Courtney
it's nice to meet you.
29
00:02:04,858 --> 00:02:06,357
You're doing great.
30
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,105
Have you ever skated before?
31
00:02:08,231 --> 00:02:10,937
A couple times.
32
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:13,602
I learned to skate right
here on this rink
33
00:02:13,726 --> 00:02:15,184
(giggles)
34
00:02:16,308 --> 00:02:18,098
Hey, you're doing great.
35
00:02:18,224 --> 00:02:22,553
Now just push to
the side and glide.
36
00:02:22,678 --> 00:02:25,384
That's it. That's it.
37
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:26,675
Awesome.
38
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,716
Now I'm going to let you
do it on your own, okay?
39
00:02:28,757 --> 00:02:32,505
Okay.
40
00:02:32,588 --> 00:02:35,752
You're doing it!
41
00:02:35,877 --> 00:02:37,126
My Ompa works in there.
42
00:02:37,209 --> 00:02:38,833
Oh, wow, he works for the city?
43
00:02:38,957 --> 00:02:40,248
Uh‐huh.
44
00:02:40,332 --> 00:02:41,372
Nice.
45
00:02:41,498 --> 00:02:44,038
‐Whoa! ‐Oh, whoops. I got you.
46
00:02:44,162 --> 00:02:46,702
Now you try.
47
00:02:46,827 --> 00:02:49,492
‐Thank you. ‐Of course.
48
00:02:49,575 --> 00:02:51,990
We have class on Tuesday
and Thursday afternoon
49
00:02:52,115 --> 00:02:53,632
for kids her age
if she'd like to join.
50
00:02:53,697 --> 00:02:56,695
And we do a show at
the Christmas Carnival.
51
00:02:56,819 --> 00:02:58,943
‐Merry Christmas!
‐Merry Christmas!
52
00:03:17,637 --> 00:03:18,845
See you tomorrow, Trevor.
53
00:03:18,970 --> 00:03:20,594
You betcha. Have a great night.
54
00:03:20,677 --> 00:03:21,759
You, too.
55
00:03:21,843 --> 00:03:23,425
(phone vibrates)
56
00:03:27,630 --> 00:03:30,587
Hello?
57
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:32,918
Oh, hi, Mr. Greenwood.
58
00:03:33,001 --> 00:03:36,748
Sure, tomorrow at 9:00AM,
no problem.
59
00:03:36,874 --> 00:03:38,581
Okay, see you then. Bye.
60
00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:45,700
Hey, Trev.
61
00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:47,657
Can you cover for me
tomorrow morning?
62
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:49,156
I have an early meeting.
63
00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:53,944
Only if you introduce me
to your roommate.
64
00:03:54,069 --> 00:03:55,235
Seriously?
65
00:03:55,317 --> 00:03:58,190
I wasn't scheduled
to come in until noon.
66
00:03:59,398 --> 00:04:00,814
Okay, fine.
67
00:04:00,897 --> 00:04:02,288
But I already told you.
You're not her type.
68
00:04:02,312 --> 00:04:04,811
How would she know
if she hasn't met me?
69
00:04:04,894 --> 00:04:06,185
You're impossible.
70
00:04:06,309 --> 00:04:08,975
Not impossible, just persistent.
71
00:04:16,677 --> 00:04:18,176
(whistling)
72
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:31,874
Hey!
73
00:04:31,999 --> 00:04:35,038
‐Hey, it's Sheila Sugarplum.
‐In the flesh.
74
00:04:35,122 --> 00:04:36,787
That costume is so cute.
75
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:39,536
Thanks. Whatcha making?
76
00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:41,325
Mmm, mm‐hmm.
77
00:04:41,409 --> 00:04:45,531
So, I got a weird call from
your boss just as I was leaving.
78
00:04:45,614 --> 00:04:46,655
Which one?
79
00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:48,113
Santa or the Mayor?
80
00:04:48,154 --> 00:04:49,902
I wish it was Santa.
81
00:04:49,985 --> 00:04:51,943
Mmm. I was afraid of that.
82
00:04:52,026 --> 00:04:53,358
Do you know what it's about?
83
00:04:53,483 --> 00:04:56,065
I know he was in a
long budget meeting
84
00:04:56,148 --> 00:04:57,938
with the city council today.
85
00:04:58,021 --> 00:05:00,187
I only hear from him
when it's bad news,
86
00:05:00,311 --> 00:05:01,976
so I thought I'd make
him some cupcakes.
87
00:05:03,601 --> 00:05:06,723
Buttering up the mayor
is always a good idea.
88
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:09,638
Sorry, though.
I wish I knew more.
89
00:05:09,721 --> 00:05:13,052
Okay, well, I shouldn't
be too late.
90
00:05:15,925 --> 00:05:18,382
Hey, don't worry.
91
00:05:18,465 --> 00:05:19,506
It's gonna be okay.
92
00:05:19,589 --> 00:05:20,755
Are you sure?
93
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,168
Yeah, it's Christmas!
94
00:05:28,249 --> 00:05:30,164
Oh, by the way,
Trevor wants to meet you.
95
00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:31,330
Who?
96
00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:33,371
Trevor. The Zamboni
driver at the rink.
97
00:05:33,496 --> 00:05:34,702
Oh, why?
98
00:05:34,786 --> 00:05:36,035
Why not?
99
00:05:36,118 --> 00:05:38,575
Mmm‐mm. No. He's not my type.
100
00:05:38,658 --> 00:05:41,406
Well, how do you know
if you haven't met him yet?
101
00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:42,988
Oh, I know.
102
00:05:43,113 --> 00:05:45,861
Please? I owe him one.
103
00:05:49,525 --> 00:05:51,107
Fine.
104
00:05:51,191 --> 00:05:52,647
Good.
105
00:05:52,773 --> 00:05:54,250
I hope you don't have
too many criers.
106
00:05:54,355 --> 00:05:55,896
Yeah, me too.
107
00:05:56,020 --> 00:05:58,019
You know, you should
publish a book
108
00:05:58,144 --> 00:06:00,808
of crying babies with
Santa pictures.
109
00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:02,682
You might be on to something.
110
00:06:02,807 --> 00:06:04,638
That could really sell!
111
00:06:04,764 --> 00:06:06,304
All right, see you later.
112
00:06:06,387 --> 00:06:07,970
Bye.
113
00:06:09,011 --> 00:06:10,301
(phone vibrates)
114
00:06:13,174 --> 00:06:14,840
Hey, Mom.
115
00:06:14,922 --> 00:06:16,629
Hello, sweetheart, how are you?
116
00:06:16,713 --> 00:06:18,087
I'm good. How's Santa Barbara?
117
00:06:18,171 --> 00:06:20,127
Oh, it's just lovely out here.
118
00:06:20,210 --> 00:06:21,917
Sunny and in the 70s today.
119
00:06:22,001 --> 00:06:23,791
What I want to know is,
how do you get in
120
00:06:23,916 --> 00:06:25,373
the Christmas spirit
on the beach?
121
00:06:25,457 --> 00:06:27,997
You know how your father
and I hate the cold.
122
00:06:28,121 --> 00:06:29,746
Cold?
123
00:06:29,828 --> 00:06:31,369
Are you serious?
124
00:06:31,453 --> 00:06:33,343
How many days did you and Dad
spend with me at the rink
125
00:06:33,367 --> 00:06:34,783
when I was little?
126
00:06:34,908 --> 00:06:38,114
Oh, I know. We miss you, honey.
127
00:06:38,197 --> 00:06:39,588
Is there any chance
you could come out here
128
00:06:39,612 --> 00:06:41,737
for the holidays this year?
129
00:06:41,778 --> 00:06:45,151
It's my busiest time of year.
130
00:06:45,276 --> 00:06:47,190
I'll try to get out
there after New Years.
131
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:49,064
Well, we love you, sweetheart.
132
00:06:49,189 --> 00:06:51,563
Whenever you can come,
we'd love to see you.
133
00:06:51,645 --> 00:06:52,770
I love you too, Mom.
134
00:06:52,894 --> 00:06:54,727
Okay, bye, sweetheart.
135
00:06:54,768 --> 00:06:55,976
Bye.
136
00:07:07,925 --> 00:07:09,716
[whispers] I don't have all day.
137
00:07:09,841 --> 00:07:11,172
Should just be a few minutes.
138
00:07:12,505 --> 00:07:14,087
Hey!
139
00:07:14,212 --> 00:07:15,295
Come here.
140
00:07:19,667 --> 00:07:20,749
You know who's in there?
141
00:07:20,874 --> 00:07:22,040
‐Who? ‐Noah Tremblay.
142
00:07:22,164 --> 00:07:23,664
Who?
143
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:24,954
The hockey player.
144
00:07:25,037 --> 00:07:26,235
He played for the Maple Leafs.
145
00:07:26,328 --> 00:07:27,078
So?
146
00:07:27,203 --> 00:07:28,827
So he's kind of a big deal.
147
00:07:28,868 --> 00:07:30,908
I don't care if he's
Patrice Bergeron.
148
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:32,990
I've got stuff to do.
149
00:07:33,115 --> 00:07:34,780
‐Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
‐Thank you.
150
00:07:34,863 --> 00:07:36,405
Oh... excuse me.
151
00:07:36,529 --> 00:07:37,736
I'm sorry.
152
00:07:37,861 --> 00:07:39,694
No, I'm sorry.
Here, let me help you.
153
00:07:39,819 --> 00:07:42,983
No, no, I got it. Here.
154
00:07:43,108 --> 00:07:44,107
Thanks.
155
00:07:45,189 --> 00:07:46,647
Courtney.
156
00:07:46,772 --> 00:07:48,603
I see you already
met Noah Tremblay.
157
00:07:48,728 --> 00:07:50,103
Ah... yes. Hello.
158
00:07:50,186 --> 00:07:51,935
Hi.
159
00:07:52,059 --> 00:07:54,391
Courtney runs the Skating Oval
in the park.
160
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,847
Oh, yes, nice to meet you.
161
00:07:56,973 --> 00:07:58,180
You two have a lot in common.
162
00:07:58,304 --> 00:07:59,304
Really?
163
00:07:59,428 --> 00:08:00,928
Mm‐hmm, Noah just built
164
00:08:01,053 --> 00:08:04,591
the new indoor ice complex
in the canal district.
165
00:08:04,675 --> 00:08:07,090
They're going to have their
grand opening in a couple weeks.
166
00:08:07,173 --> 00:08:09,047
‐Right, Noah?
‐Yeah, that's right.
167
00:08:09,130 --> 00:08:10,128
Hmm.
168
00:08:10,213 --> 00:08:11,711
Well, you wanted to
see me Mr. Mayor?
169
00:08:11,795 --> 00:08:13,793
Yeah, come on in.
170
00:08:13,876 --> 00:08:15,917
‐Thank you. ‐Take care.
171
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,748
I hope I bump into you
again, Courtney.
172
00:08:22,870 --> 00:08:25,035
‐Beth, would take care
of that for me?
‐Sure.
173
00:08:25,118 --> 00:08:26,991
If you can find a place
to work on that desk.
174
00:08:29,032 --> 00:08:32,196
I was impressed to hear about
your skating career in college.
175
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,028
Thank you.
176
00:08:34,153 --> 00:08:36,776
State champion is
quite an accomplishment.
177
00:08:38,733 --> 00:08:39,608
Such a shame you got injured.
178
00:08:39,732 --> 00:08:41,148
It happens.
179
00:08:41,232 --> 00:08:43,063
I'm just glad I can
share the joy of skating
180
00:08:43,188 --> 00:08:44,229
with the kids now.
181
00:08:44,312 --> 00:08:46,852
Yes, well about that.
182
00:08:46,936 --> 00:08:48,368
We've been going over
the budget and the city
183
00:08:48,392 --> 00:08:51,599
is just not going to be able
to subsidize the cost
184
00:08:51,723 --> 00:08:53,430
of running the Skating Oval
any longer.
185
00:08:53,555 --> 00:08:54,888
What?
186
00:08:54,971 --> 00:08:58,177
But, rentals are up this year
187
00:08:58,219 --> 00:09:00,300
and I've been recruiting
more and more kids
188
00:09:00,383 --> 00:09:02,757
for the after school
skating program every day.
189
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,463
That's nice, but
the Skating Oval is a luxury
190
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:08,711
that the city just can't afford.
191
00:09:08,836 --> 00:09:10,626
But, Mr. Greenwood,
192
00:09:10,709 --> 00:09:12,583
the skating means
so much to the kids
193
00:09:12,666 --> 00:09:14,373
and it's Christmas!
194
00:09:14,498 --> 00:09:16,247
Well, Noah's new
indoor ice complex
195
00:09:16,331 --> 00:09:18,786
is going to have all kinds
of programs for the kids.
196
00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:21,285
Have you seen it?
It's really very impressive.
197
00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:23,450
But that's not free.
198
00:09:23,533 --> 00:09:25,090
What about the kids
who can't afford it?
199
00:09:25,157 --> 00:09:27,090
That's why we're going to
keep the Skating Oval open
200
00:09:27,114 --> 00:09:29,404
through the holidays
and then shut it down
201
00:09:29,487 --> 00:09:30,777
right after the new year.
202
00:09:32,152 --> 00:09:34,941
What about the Christmas
Carnival on Christmas Eve?
203
00:09:35,025 --> 00:09:37,981
That is exactly the
kind of event
204
00:09:38,064 --> 00:09:40,062
that makes the Skating Oval
unsustainable.
205
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:42,561
You're cancelling the
Christmas Carnival?
206
00:09:42,644 --> 00:09:44,934
The kids will be heart broken.
207
00:09:45,059 --> 00:09:48,515
Running a city means making
tough choices, Ms. Bennett.
208
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:50,929
With all due respect,
I think you're making
a mistake.
209
00:09:51,013 --> 00:09:53,553
The kids aside,
the Skating Oval represents
210
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:55,885
a commitment
to revitalize downtown,
211
00:09:56,009 --> 00:09:58,799
to make the city more
accessible and family friendly.
212
00:09:58,882 --> 00:10:01,547
If it closes that would
be a major step backward.
213
00:10:01,589 --> 00:10:05,170
The city council is
dead set on this.
214
00:10:05,252 --> 00:10:07,084
The numbers are the numbers.
215
00:10:07,168 --> 00:10:09,291
But you could convince
them otherwise.
216
00:10:09,374 --> 00:10:11,081
What would it take?
217
00:10:11,206 --> 00:10:12,955
Money.
218
00:10:13,038 --> 00:10:15,953
Make the Skating Oval
a revenue source for the city
219
00:10:16,078 --> 00:10:20,449
instead of a negative line item
that it is right now.
220
00:10:20,575 --> 00:10:21,990
So, how do we make that happen?
221
00:10:24,779 --> 00:10:27,361
A Christmas miracle.
222
00:10:27,444 --> 00:10:29,440
Okay, then I'll get to work
on a Christmas miracle.
223
00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:35,688
Merry Christmas, Mr. Greenwood.
224
00:10:38,270 --> 00:10:39,977
Merry Christmas.
225
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:54,216
I can't believe
he's closing the Oval
226
00:10:54,299 --> 00:10:56,257
and cancelling
the Christmas Carnival.
227
00:10:56,339 --> 00:10:58,255
The kids look forward
to this all year long!
228
00:10:58,338 --> 00:10:59,962
It's not just the kids.
229
00:11:00,045 --> 00:11:03,543
This is the biggest event
for Santa and me every year.
230
00:11:03,626 --> 00:11:04,917
Did you know about this?
231
00:11:04,999 --> 00:11:06,397
Did somebody call
to cancel you yet?
232
00:11:06,457 --> 00:11:09,080
No, I just assumed we were on.
233
00:11:09,163 --> 00:11:11,745
We've been doing the Christmas
Carnival for years.
234
00:11:11,828 --> 00:11:13,910
What am I going to do?
235
00:11:13,993 --> 00:11:15,177
You're going to figure it out.
236
00:11:15,201 --> 00:11:16,533
But how?
237
00:11:16,616 --> 00:11:18,032
Come on,
238
00:11:18,116 --> 00:11:20,571
you've got to get those
competitive juices flowing.
239
00:11:20,655 --> 00:11:22,903
Fight for what you believe in.
240
00:11:23,028 --> 00:11:24,610
Is Santa looking
for another elf?
241
00:11:24,735 --> 00:11:26,376
Because I'm gonna be out
of a job next Christmas.
242
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,878
Look. He told you
what you have to do.
243
00:11:27,941 --> 00:11:29,898
You need to find a way
to fund the rink
244
00:11:29,981 --> 00:11:31,873
and the carnival and take
the cost off his ledger.
245
00:11:31,897 --> 00:11:33,437
That's easier said than done.
246
00:11:33,521 --> 00:11:35,435
I didn't say it
was going to be easy.
247
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:36,558
(store bell chimes)
248
00:11:36,601 --> 00:11:37,600
Hey.
249
00:11:37,643 --> 00:11:40,598
Oh, hi, Trevor.
250
00:11:40,723 --> 00:11:43,180
Beth this is Trevor.
Trevor, my roommate Beth.
251
00:11:43,263 --> 00:11:45,345
‐Hi. ‐Hi.
252
00:11:47,426 --> 00:11:49,009
I gotta go.
253
00:11:49,093 --> 00:11:51,548
I'll just leave you two
to get to know each other.
254
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:53,090
Have fun.
255
00:11:54,713 --> 00:11:56,110
[whispers]
What are you doing to me?
256
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:01,208
So...
257
00:12:16,073 --> 00:12:18,029
That's her, Daddy.
258
00:12:50,505 --> 00:12:52,046
(chuckles)
259
00:12:53,669 --> 00:12:56,251
Hi, Grace! You came back!
260
00:12:56,334 --> 00:12:58,583
Hi, Courtney. This is my Dad.
261
00:12:58,707 --> 00:13:00,873
I'm Courtney Bennett.
262
00:13:00,955 --> 00:13:02,121
Oh, it's you!
263
00:13:02,246 --> 00:13:05,411
‐Yeah, we've met. ‐Yeah, we did.
264
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,284
How could I forget.
265
00:13:07,409 --> 00:13:09,408
You skate beautifully.
266
00:13:09,533 --> 00:13:11,198
Thank you.
267
00:13:11,281 --> 00:13:13,506
I actually had the pleasure of
skating with Grace yesterday.
268
00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:15,737
So she said.
269
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:17,402
Well, if she's interested,
270
00:13:17,485 --> 00:13:19,793
we have a beginner's class that
starts in about ten minutes.
271
00:13:19,817 --> 00:13:22,107
Really sweet group
of girls just her age.
272
00:13:22,189 --> 00:13:23,397
We meet twice a week.
273
00:13:23,522 --> 00:13:25,396
How much does it cost?
274
00:13:25,479 --> 00:13:28,060
Nothing, actually. It's free.
275
00:13:28,185 --> 00:13:29,351
‐It's free? ‐Yeah.
276
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,766
Can I Dad? Can I?
277
00:13:31,891 --> 00:13:33,265
So the city subsidizes it?
278
00:13:33,390 --> 00:13:36,637
Yeah. Well, for now.
279
00:13:36,721 --> 00:13:38,636
Huh.
280
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,883
Are you sure you want to take
skating lessons with Courtney?
281
00:13:42,009 --> 00:13:44,257
Yeah!
282
00:13:44,382 --> 00:13:46,672
Okay, great.
283
00:13:46,797 --> 00:13:48,878
Well, we'd love to
have you join our class.
284
00:13:49,004 --> 00:13:51,210
‐And I see you already
have skates.
‐Yup.
285
00:13:51,335 --> 00:13:52,543
Why don't you go put them on?
286
00:13:52,667 --> 00:13:54,166
'Kay, but I need help
tying them.
287
00:13:54,291 --> 00:13:55,374
Sure, I'll be right there.
288
00:13:55,498 --> 00:13:56,664
Thank you.
289
00:13:59,496 --> 00:14:01,036
I've got a sign up
sheet in the shack.
290
00:14:05,825 --> 00:14:07,342
All right, so everyone's
in the circle.
291
00:14:07,407 --> 00:14:09,321
Perfect, make your circle.
292
00:14:09,446 --> 00:14:11,153
And... yep, perfect.
293
00:14:11,278 --> 00:14:13,236
And then heels together.
294
00:14:13,318 --> 00:14:15,067
Great, and then arms.
295
00:14:15,150 --> 00:14:19,647
Start. You go up, and out.
296
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:21,105
And then swizzle in.
297
00:14:21,230 --> 00:14:22,687
And then left arm.
298
00:14:22,812 --> 00:14:25,434
And then grab each
other's hands.
299
00:14:25,518 --> 00:14:26,826
Okay, you just undo the hooks
like this.
300
00:14:26,850 --> 00:14:28,265
Oh, okay.
301
00:14:28,349 --> 00:14:29,449
‐Then it's like
a regular shoe.
‐Oh.
302
00:14:29,473 --> 00:14:30,931
Courtney, thank you.
303
00:14:32,554 --> 00:14:34,095
Grace really had fun,
I could tell.
304
00:14:34,178 --> 00:14:35,386
She's a great kid.
305
00:14:35,469 --> 00:14:37,676
With real skating
potential, too.
306
00:14:37,801 --> 00:14:39,317
Yeah, I mean she just never
really showed
307
00:14:39,341 --> 00:14:40,566
much interest in
skating with me.
308
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:42,255
You were a hockey player, right?
309
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:43,421
That's right, yeah.
310
00:14:43,546 --> 00:14:44,896
I learned to skate
before I could walk.
311
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,877
Maybe she's just
not interested in hockey.
312
00:14:48,168 --> 00:14:49,750
Maybe not.
313
00:14:49,833 --> 00:14:51,499
Well, Grace is doing
really well.
314
00:14:51,582 --> 00:14:53,331
She's a natural.
315
00:14:53,414 --> 00:14:55,038
Takes after her old man.
316
00:14:55,163 --> 00:14:57,078
Guess so.
317
00:14:57,161 --> 00:14:58,452
Well, I...
318
00:14:58,577 --> 00:15:00,368
guess we'll see you on Thursday.
319
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:01,950
Sounds good.
Have a great evening.
320
00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:04,323
‐You, too. ‐Bye.
321
00:15:04,406 --> 00:15:07,279
Oh, Courtney, wait.
322
00:15:07,403 --> 00:15:08,945
I really had fun
at class, thank you.
323
00:15:09,069 --> 00:15:11,525
You're so welcome.
I'll see you next time!
324
00:15:11,609 --> 00:15:13,107
‐Yup! Bye. ‐Bye.
325
00:15:18,188 --> 00:15:19,811
‐Hi. ‐Hi.
326
00:15:19,895 --> 00:15:20,602
How was Trevor?
327
00:15:20,685 --> 00:15:22,101
You owe me big time!
328
00:15:22,225 --> 00:15:24,515
Oh, no, sorry.
329
00:15:24,557 --> 00:15:26,931
Eh, he's not actually
as bad as I expected.
330
00:15:27,971 --> 00:15:29,554
But, forget about Trevor.
331
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,178
What was that all about?
332
00:15:31,303 --> 00:15:33,426
What, Noah?
333
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:34,859
His daughter joined
my class today.
334
00:15:34,883 --> 00:15:37,132
Oh, so we're on a first
name basis already?
335
00:15:37,214 --> 00:15:39,047
So...
336
00:15:39,130 --> 00:15:41,587
So, he's gorgeous, rich...
337
00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:43,668
And oh, right, single.
338
00:15:43,793 --> 00:15:46,458
And a typical jock,
full of himself.
339
00:15:46,541 --> 00:15:48,041
Okay... and that's a problem?
340
00:15:49,497 --> 00:15:50,895
Wonder what happened
to Grace's mom.
341
00:15:53,869 --> 00:15:55,118
So you are interested.
342
00:15:55,243 --> 00:15:57,117
Please.
343
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,865
He's only the most eligible
bachelor in Worcester.
344
00:15:59,948 --> 00:16:02,238
And, he owns the
indoor ice complex.
345
00:16:02,322 --> 00:16:04,717
He's the main reason why the
Oval is going to be closed down.
346
00:16:04,819 --> 00:16:07,526
Your boss was drooling over
that facility the other day.
347
00:16:07,609 --> 00:16:09,482
Ooh, hadn't thought of that.
348
00:16:10,732 --> 00:16:12,329
I'll introduce you
next time he comes by.
349
00:16:12,355 --> 00:16:14,812
Nah, I, uh...
350
00:16:14,937 --> 00:16:18,018
I'm going out to dinner
with Trevor tomorrow night.
351
00:16:18,101 --> 00:16:20,391
Oh, you are?
352
00:16:20,516 --> 00:16:22,556
I figured I'd give him a chance.
353
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:24,471
So, I owe you why?
354
00:16:24,597 --> 00:16:27,012
Okay, see ya!
I gotta go make some kids cry.
355
00:16:27,095 --> 00:16:28,677
Okay.
356
00:17:04,192 --> 00:17:06,232
(sighs)
357
00:17:06,357 --> 00:17:08,689
(chattering)
358
00:17:45,286 --> 00:17:46,911
(shouting on hockey rink)
359
00:18:04,939 --> 00:18:06,479
Oh, hi.
360
00:18:06,604 --> 00:18:08,187
What a nice surprise.
361
00:18:08,269 --> 00:18:09,519
Hi.
362
00:18:09,602 --> 00:18:10,893
Um...
363
00:18:11,018 --> 00:18:13,766
I can't believe I haven't
been in here before.
364
00:18:13,849 --> 00:18:15,764
It's incredible.
365
00:18:15,889 --> 00:18:17,138
Well, thank you, yeah.
366
00:18:17,222 --> 00:18:19,012
I thought you weren't open yet.
367
00:18:19,136 --> 00:18:21,593
Oh, a couple of local skaters
and teams needed some ice time,
368
00:18:21,676 --> 00:18:24,050
so I gave them a
little soft opening
369
00:18:24,133 --> 00:18:26,215
before the big unveiling
in a few weeks.
370
00:18:26,298 --> 00:18:28,047
Hmm.
371
00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:30,004
How can I compete with this?
372
00:18:30,128 --> 00:18:31,794
Excuse me?
373
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:33,335
How can I compete with this?
374
00:18:33,418 --> 00:18:35,416
Hey, hey, hold up.
375
00:18:35,541 --> 00:18:37,457
Hold on.
What are you talking about?
376
00:18:37,539 --> 00:18:40,537
You're not even open yet
and this place is bustling
with activity.
377
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:43,452
There's athletes,
their families, their coaches.
378
00:18:43,535 --> 00:18:46,075
Restaurants, a coffee shop!
379
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:47,948
You don't have
to compete with this.
380
00:18:48,032 --> 00:18:49,531
Apparently I do!
381
00:18:49,655 --> 00:18:51,821
The Mayor wants
to close us down.
382
00:18:51,904 --> 00:18:54,360
‐He said that? ‐Yes.
383
00:18:54,486 --> 00:18:56,942
"The Skating Oval is a luxury
the city can't afford."
384
00:18:57,025 --> 00:18:58,899
Huh.
385
00:18:58,982 --> 00:19:01,248
It's the centerpiece
of the Worcester's
recreational offerings
386
00:19:01,272 --> 00:19:03,104
and it's right downtown.
387
00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:04,246
Have you ever skated out there?
388
00:19:04,270 --> 00:19:06,102
No, actually I haven't.
389
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:10,682
Nothing beats skating outdoors,
especially at Christmastime!
390
00:19:10,766 --> 00:19:14,304
I've certainly done
my fair share of
outdoor skating.
391
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:16,261
Then you know.
392
00:19:16,386 --> 00:19:18,509
Yeah, I do.
393
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:23,423
Well, I hope I wasn't
intruding by stopping by.
394
00:19:23,505 --> 00:19:25,879
Not at all. Come by anytime.
395
00:19:27,253 --> 00:19:28,918
Hey, Noah.
396
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:30,751
If you have this whole complex,
397
00:19:30,876 --> 00:19:33,707
why do you bring Grace
to the Oval for lessons?
398
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,995
Well, uh...
399
00:19:38,078 --> 00:19:39,869
she chose it.
400
00:19:39,952 --> 00:19:40,951
Really?
401
00:19:42,575 --> 00:19:43,991
Yeah.
402
00:19:44,074 --> 00:19:45,698
She chose it because of you.
403
00:19:58,063 --> 00:19:59,479
Nice, girls.
404
00:20:04,891 --> 00:20:05,933
Gracie!
405
00:20:08,056 --> 00:20:10,513
Daddy, look!
I can skate backwards.
406
00:20:10,595 --> 00:20:12,885
That is wonderful sweetheart.
407
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:18,215
Hello, Noah.
408
00:20:18,340 --> 00:20:20,005
Hi. Look at that,
409
00:20:20,131 --> 00:20:21,546
she's skating backwards!
410
00:20:21,671 --> 00:20:23,586
I know, she's making
great progress.
411
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:25,210
Yeah, she sure is.
412
00:20:25,293 --> 00:20:28,333
Hey, I had something
I wanted to discuss with you.
413
00:20:28,416 --> 00:20:31,123
Maybe you have time for a
coffee, after you're done?
414
00:20:31,247 --> 00:20:33,246
Oh, um, today?
415
00:20:33,329 --> 00:20:34,620
Yeah, why not.
416
00:20:34,703 --> 00:20:36,785
No time like the present, right?
417
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:39,408
Uh... yeah, okay.
418
00:20:39,491 --> 00:20:40,824
Great.
419
00:20:42,155 --> 00:20:43,697
All right, girls
let's do the star.
420
00:20:46,152 --> 00:20:48,360
Nice. Nice!
421
00:20:54,854 --> 00:20:58,810
So, what do you do in
the summers when
there's no ice?
422
00:20:58,893 --> 00:21:01,392
I run the kids sailing
program down at the lake.
423
00:21:01,475 --> 00:21:04,139
Do your parents ever ask you
when you're getting a real job?
424
00:21:04,264 --> 00:21:06,680
Excuse me?
425
00:21:06,763 --> 00:21:08,261
I'm kidding...
426
00:21:08,387 --> 00:21:10,802
That's a great compliment to
what you do in the winter.
427
00:21:12,925 --> 00:21:14,216
Thank you.
428
00:21:14,340 --> 00:21:16,547
Meanwhile, I'm working
on my Masters.
429
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:17,879
Really? In what?
430
00:21:18,004 --> 00:21:19,461
Education.
431
00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:21,669
That's perfect for you.
You're a natural teacher.
432
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,373
So, what did you
want to talk about?
433
00:21:26,498 --> 00:21:29,371
Well, I was really impressed
with the way
434
00:21:29,412 --> 00:21:30,703
you interacted with the kids.
435
00:21:30,828 --> 00:21:32,452
Wow, thanks.
436
00:21:32,577 --> 00:21:35,075
And Grace has really
taken to you.
437
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,532
I mean...
438
00:21:36,616 --> 00:21:39,405
Haven't seen her light up
like that...
439
00:21:39,530 --> 00:21:42,486
about anything for... forever.
440
00:21:43,361 --> 00:21:45,193
She's a great kid.
441
00:21:45,317 --> 00:21:47,191
So I want to offer you a job.
442
00:21:48,898 --> 00:21:50,980
Wait, what?
443
00:21:51,104 --> 00:21:53,770
Yeah, I want you to
teach skating for me.
444
00:21:55,019 --> 00:21:57,309
Okay... I didn't
see that coming.
445
00:21:58,974 --> 00:22:01,513
Well? What do you think?
446
00:22:04,345 --> 00:22:06,135
I see what you're doing.
447
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:07,967
You're trying to
eliminate the competition.
448
00:22:08,051 --> 00:22:10,215
No, that's not what
I'm doing, really.
449
00:22:10,341 --> 00:22:11,649
Here's the thing.
I already have a job.
450
00:22:11,673 --> 00:22:12,963
And I only have a couple weeks
451
00:22:13,088 --> 00:22:14,421
to figure out a plan to save it.
452
00:22:14,504 --> 00:22:18,251
Yeah, right, this is
a year 'round position.
453
00:22:19,667 --> 00:22:22,332
As long as you're not
trying to sabotage me...
454
00:22:22,457 --> 00:22:25,204
I'm not trying to sabotage you.
455
00:22:25,288 --> 00:22:26,953
Maybe we could work together
456
00:22:27,078 --> 00:22:29,452
to figure out a way
to save the Oval.
457
00:22:29,576 --> 00:22:31,366
Okay, what did you have in mind?
458
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:33,198
Either we raise a lot of money
459
00:22:33,282 --> 00:22:35,478
or we convince the city that
it's in their best interest
460
00:22:35,530 --> 00:22:36,779
not to close it.
461
00:22:36,904 --> 00:22:38,570
‐Or both. ‐Exactly.
462
00:22:38,695 --> 00:22:41,109
I bet those are things
you're pretty good at.
463
00:22:41,192 --> 00:22:42,567
That's interesting.
464
00:22:42,650 --> 00:22:45,523
Do you have a business plan
or a proposal doc?
465
00:22:45,606 --> 00:22:46,980
Not yet.
466
00:22:47,105 --> 00:22:48,455
I only just heard
of the mayor's plans.
467
00:22:48,478 --> 00:22:50,561
The problem is we
don't have much time.
468
00:22:50,644 --> 00:22:53,225
‐Right, how much do
you need to raise?
‐I'm working on the budget
469
00:22:53,350 --> 00:22:56,764
and how much it costs
to run the rink each year.
470
00:22:56,889 --> 00:23:00,053
What do you think?
Would you be willing to help?
471
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:02,052
Okay, way to ask for the order.
472
00:23:02,094 --> 00:23:03,931
I should have offered
you a job in group sales!
473
00:23:06,008 --> 00:23:07,464
This is important to me.
474
00:23:10,796 --> 00:23:11,794
I can see that.
475
00:23:14,585 --> 00:23:17,041
Okay, um...
476
00:23:17,166 --> 00:23:19,956
Let me take a look
at the numbers.
477
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,162
Fair enough.
478
00:23:22,246 --> 00:23:24,162
Let me do some homework
and I'll get back to you.
479
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:40,399
(sniffling)
480
00:23:44,646 --> 00:23:46,436
Are you crying?
481
00:23:46,561 --> 00:23:48,143
Yeah, so?
482
00:23:48,268 --> 00:23:50,516
Oh, you're so sappy.
483
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:52,473
I can't help it.
484
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:54,680
I love Christmas movies.
485
00:23:56,554 --> 00:23:58,593
What's up?
486
00:23:58,677 --> 00:24:01,633
Well... Noah's not as
bad as I thought.
487
00:24:01,758 --> 00:24:03,215
Oh, you saw him again?
488
00:24:03,298 --> 00:24:05,214
He invited me for coffee.
489
00:24:05,297 --> 00:24:07,878
Ooh, coffee. Trouble.
490
00:24:07,962 --> 00:24:09,794
I think I'm in over my head.
491
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:11,126
Wow, already?
492
00:24:11,251 --> 00:24:13,416
Not with Noah. With the Oval.
493
00:24:13,541 --> 00:24:15,456
Oh. How?
494
00:24:15,581 --> 00:24:17,746
I need a business plan, stat.
495
00:24:17,829 --> 00:24:19,245
Okay.
496
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:21,202
Do you know how
to write a business plan?
497
00:24:21,285 --> 00:24:23,824
As a matter of fact, I do.
498
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:25,615
‐Really. ‐Yeah.
499
00:24:25,740 --> 00:24:28,155
How do you think Santa and
I got our start up funding?
500
00:24:28,239 --> 00:24:30,237
How'd you learn how to do that?
501
00:24:30,362 --> 00:24:31,360
YouTube.
502
00:24:31,402 --> 00:24:33,527
You can learn
anything on YouTube.
503
00:24:33,609 --> 00:24:35,067
No kidding?
504
00:24:35,192 --> 00:24:38,065
Can YouTube help me find out
how much it costs the city
505
00:24:38,189 --> 00:24:39,480
to operate the Oval each year
506
00:24:39,563 --> 00:24:42,311
including the
Christmas Carnival?
507
00:24:42,394 --> 00:24:45,142
No, probably not, but
it's all public record.
508
00:24:45,226 --> 00:24:47,557
So I can just dig
it out tomorrow.
509
00:24:47,682 --> 00:24:49,097
Piece of cake.
510
00:24:49,223 --> 00:24:52,387
‐Thank you. ‐Mm‐hmm, sure.
511
00:24:52,513 --> 00:24:54,302
Okay.
512
00:24:54,385 --> 00:24:56,343
He offered me a job, you know.
513
00:24:56,426 --> 00:24:58,758
Oh, that's nice.
514
00:24:58,841 --> 00:25:00,131
You might need one.
515
00:25:01,089 --> 00:25:03,587
Okay, now can I watch my movie?
516
00:25:03,712 --> 00:25:05,294
Yeah, what's happened so far?
517
00:25:05,377 --> 00:25:07,667
Ugh, I can't even tell you
or I'll start to cry.
518
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:09,790
It's that sad.
519
00:25:09,874 --> 00:25:11,081
So bad.
520
00:25:11,165 --> 00:25:12,830
‐Do you want one? ‐No.
521
00:25:12,955 --> 00:25:14,163
‐Pre‐emptive? ‐No.
522
00:25:16,578 --> 00:25:18,451
Hi, returning?
523
00:25:18,534 --> 00:25:21,948
All right. Have a good one,
see you soon.
524
00:25:30,484 --> 00:25:31,733
(phone vibrating)
525
00:25:35,646 --> 00:25:37,395
Hey.
526
00:25:37,479 --> 00:25:40,268
So, with set up and breakdown
costs in the Fall and Spring,
527
00:25:40,393 --> 00:25:43,058
the off‐season storage of
the boards and the Zamboni,
528
00:25:43,141 --> 00:25:45,389
maintaining the ice,
refrigeration, electricity,
529
00:25:45,473 --> 00:25:47,597
your salary and
Trevor's it looks like
530
00:25:47,638 --> 00:25:51,843
the Skating Oval costs the
city about $135,000 a year.
531
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:53,633
Wow.
532
00:25:53,717 --> 00:25:56,548
And that doesn't even count the
cost of the Christmas Carnival.
533
00:25:56,673 --> 00:25:58,172
Nope.
534
00:25:58,255 --> 00:26:00,712
The cost to decorate
the Commons is $25,000.
535
00:26:00,837 --> 00:26:03,334
Well, they have
to do that anyway.
536
00:26:03,418 --> 00:26:04,709
True.
537
00:26:07,748 --> 00:26:09,663
Hello?
538
00:26:09,746 --> 00:26:10,871
You there?
539
00:26:10,996 --> 00:26:13,244
‐It's him. ‐Who?
540
00:26:13,369 --> 00:26:15,534
It's Noah.
541
00:26:15,617 --> 00:26:17,740
And he's carrying his skates.
542
00:26:17,866 --> 00:26:20,572
Oh, really?
543
00:26:20,655 --> 00:26:22,571
‐Talk later. ‐Okay, bye.
544
00:26:23,986 --> 00:26:25,609
‐Hi. ‐Hi.
545
00:26:25,693 --> 00:26:27,234
What are you doing here?
546
00:26:27,316 --> 00:26:31,231
Well, I actually haven't
skated outside
since I was a kid
547
00:26:31,313 --> 00:26:33,396
playing shinny hockey
with my friends.
548
00:26:33,521 --> 00:26:34,520
You're kidding, really!?
549
00:26:34,645 --> 00:26:36,018
Yeah.
550
00:26:36,144 --> 00:26:38,017
So you got me intrigued.
551
00:26:38,143 --> 00:26:39,974
How much for
a lunch break skate?
552
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:44,138
Without rentals?
$5.00 for an hour.
553
00:26:44,221 --> 00:26:45,262
Okay.
554
00:26:47,344 --> 00:26:49,175
Great.
555
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:51,674
Would you, um...
would you care to join me?
556
00:26:52,756 --> 00:26:57,294
Um... okay, sure.
557
00:26:58,877 --> 00:27:00,042
Great.
558
00:27:00,917 --> 00:27:02,166
I'll see you out there.
559
00:27:04,997 --> 00:27:06,371
Wow, this is great.
560
00:27:06,454 --> 00:27:07,971
I can't believe I haven't
done this before.
561
00:27:07,995 --> 00:27:09,619
Isn't it great?
562
00:27:09,744 --> 00:27:11,534
It's wonderful.
563
00:27:11,659 --> 00:27:13,865
So did you think about my offer?
564
00:27:14,824 --> 00:27:16,280
I thought I made it clear
565
00:27:16,364 --> 00:27:18,821
I'm not really looking
for a job right now.
566
00:27:18,946 --> 00:27:21,111
Okay. No pressure.
567
00:27:23,109 --> 00:27:26,065
You know, your passion
is pretty contagious.
568
00:27:26,107 --> 00:27:27,564
Where does that come from?
569
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:30,187
I was a pretty competitive
skater when I was younger.
570
00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:31,644
I heard.
571
00:27:31,769 --> 00:27:32,685
Massachusetts state champ?
572
00:27:32,768 --> 00:27:33,893
Yeah.
573
00:27:33,975 --> 00:27:35,849
I almost made the US Team,
574
00:27:35,933 --> 00:27:37,224
but then I blew out my knee.
575
00:27:37,349 --> 00:27:40,429
So now I share my love
of skating with the kids.
576
00:27:40,554 --> 00:27:41,821
Yeah. How'd you wreck your knee?
577
00:27:41,845 --> 00:27:43,885
Playing soccer.
578
00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:45,259
‐Ooh. ‐Yeah.
579
00:27:45,385 --> 00:27:47,508
My skating coach was really mad.
580
00:27:47,591 --> 00:27:50,671
I rehabbed it like crazy,
but as soon as I got back
out on the ice,
581
00:27:50,755 --> 00:27:52,462
it just wasn't the same.
582
00:27:52,545 --> 00:27:55,585
It was 90% there, but
I lost my trust in it.
583
00:27:55,710 --> 00:27:58,208
Yeah, I know what you mean.
584
00:27:58,333 --> 00:28:00,498
I'm a member of
the torn ACL club myself.
585
00:28:00,623 --> 00:28:02,538
Is that why you
quit playing hockey?
586
00:28:02,662 --> 00:28:04,411
Yeah. Exactly.
587
00:28:04,536 --> 00:28:06,993
I had the surgery,
588
00:28:07,077 --> 00:28:09,908
and my knee just was
never the same.
589
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,405
I think it was in my head.
590
00:28:13,530 --> 00:28:15,903
I just, I lost my edge.
591
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:17,486
Literally and figuratively.
592
00:28:17,610 --> 00:28:18,734
Ha!
593
00:28:18,859 --> 00:28:20,608
Oh, look who's here.
594
00:28:22,024 --> 00:28:23,397
She's really sweet,
by the way...
595
00:28:23,522 --> 00:28:24,772
Grace's baby‐sitter.
596
00:28:24,855 --> 00:28:26,204
‐What's her name?
‐Yeah, she is. Margaret.
597
00:28:26,228 --> 00:28:27,519
I couldn't do it without her.
598
00:28:27,644 --> 00:28:29,477
Single parenting
is pretty tough.
599
00:28:29,602 --> 00:28:32,724
I can't imagine.
What happened to Grace's mom?
600
00:28:32,849 --> 00:28:36,347
We lost her five years ago.
601
00:28:36,472 --> 00:28:39,761
Oh, I'm so sorry.
602
00:28:39,844 --> 00:28:41,925
‐Hi‐ya. ‐Hi.
603
00:28:42,051 --> 00:28:43,632
Hi, sweetheart. How was school?
604
00:28:43,758 --> 00:28:45,131
Good... Hi, Courtney!
605
00:28:45,256 --> 00:28:46,440
Hi Grace, you ready for class?
606
00:28:46,464 --> 00:28:47,755
Yeah!
607
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,938
Why don't you
put on your skates?
608
00:28:48,962 --> 00:28:50,918
‐Okay. ‐Get out here.
609
00:28:51,002 --> 00:28:52,126
Would you mind helping her?
610
00:28:52,251 --> 00:28:53,334
Thank you.
611
00:28:55,915 --> 00:28:57,414
She's pretty awesome.
612
00:29:17,066 --> 00:29:21,105
I had no idea the city wanted
to close down the Skating Oval.
613
00:29:21,230 --> 00:29:22,979
That's a shame.
614
00:29:23,061 --> 00:29:25,852
I know. Which is
why I'm looking
for sponsorships
615
00:29:25,934 --> 00:29:28,266
to help underwrite
the cost of operating
the rink.
616
00:29:28,391 --> 00:29:31,431
They're still going to have
the Christmas Carnival, I hope.
617
00:29:31,556 --> 00:29:33,929
I hope, but that's why
we need to raise money.
618
00:29:34,053 --> 00:29:35,469
Can I put you down for a pledge?
619
00:29:35,553 --> 00:29:37,093
Of course.
620
00:29:37,218 --> 00:29:40,174
I'd be more than happy to
give $100 toward the cause.
621
00:29:40,258 --> 00:29:41,881
$100?
622
00:29:42,006 --> 00:29:44,379
Yes, absolutely.
What do I get for that?
623
00:29:44,504 --> 00:29:45,628
An ad in the program?
624
00:29:45,712 --> 00:29:48,835
Uh, a quarter page ad.
625
00:29:48,959 --> 00:29:51,457
Oh, great. That's great.
626
00:29:51,541 --> 00:29:52,832
Well, thank you.
627
00:29:52,956 --> 00:29:54,039
Great, thank you.
628
00:29:54,163 --> 00:29:55,454
You have a nice day, all right?
629
00:29:55,538 --> 00:29:56,787

What do you think?
642
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,238
What was I thinking?
643
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,570
This is futile.
644
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,194
Even if I spent
months to prepare,
645
00:31:06,277 --> 00:31:09,441
there is no way
I'm going to raise $135,000.
646
00:31:09,524 --> 00:31:11,232
Well, you can't
give up so easily.
647
00:31:11,357 --> 00:31:13,189
Yes, I think I can.
648
00:31:13,313 --> 00:31:15,145
How much did you raise?
649
00:31:15,229 --> 00:31:18,559
$250... in pledges.
650
00:31:18,684 --> 00:31:20,891
Ooh. That's not so good.
651
00:31:20,974 --> 00:31:22,765
No! It's terrible.
652
00:31:22,848 --> 00:31:24,804
I need a whole new plan.
653
00:31:26,762 --> 00:31:28,302
We'll figure this out.
654
00:31:28,385 --> 00:31:31,675
Why doesn't the city see
the value in the Skating Oval?
655
00:31:31,758 --> 00:31:33,196
I think it's like
Mr. Greenwood said,
656
00:31:33,299 --> 00:31:34,797
it's just a budget thing.
657
00:31:34,923 --> 00:31:38,920
C'mon... in the scheme of things
this is not a huge line item.
658
00:31:39,003 --> 00:31:40,959
The city must spend
lots of money on things
659
00:31:41,043 --> 00:31:43,458
much more frivolous
than the Skating Oval.
660
00:31:43,541 --> 00:31:45,207
Yeah.
661
00:31:50,702 --> 00:31:52,367
You know what?
662
00:31:52,492 --> 00:31:56,032
I'm gonna get you a copy
of the city's entire
operating budget.
663
00:31:56,157 --> 00:31:59,529
Ooh, could you?
'Cause that would
be really helpful.
664
00:31:59,654 --> 00:32:00,986
Yeah, sure.
665
00:32:01,111 --> 00:32:04,109
It would give me
some really good ammo.
666
00:32:04,193 --> 00:32:07,274
We need to get your
boss to fight for us.
667
00:32:07,398 --> 00:32:09,897
‐What's his soft spot?
‐I don't think he has one.
668
00:32:09,980 --> 00:32:12,477
Everyone has a soft spot.
Especially at Christmas.
669
00:32:12,603 --> 00:32:16,350
What's his?
670
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:19,265
I'll find it. I promise.
671
00:32:29,091 --> 00:32:31,214
Well?
672
00:32:31,298 --> 00:32:35,378
Well, I think you're right,
it's ambitious.
673
00:32:35,502 --> 00:32:36,960
I know.
674
00:32:37,085 --> 00:32:39,708
Unless we find a true angel,
we just don't have time.
675
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:41,307
See, I think that's
the biggest challenge.
676
00:32:41,331 --> 00:32:45,287
Because otherwise the
proposal makes sense.
677
00:32:45,412 --> 00:32:48,951
Well, I've already thought
about how we could take
a whole different tack.
678
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:50,284
Really?
679
00:32:50,367 --> 00:32:52,074
I was wondering...
680
00:32:52,198 --> 00:32:54,822
Since you seem to know
the mayor pretty well,
681
00:32:54,947 --> 00:32:57,820
would you mind talking
to him on my behalf?
682
00:32:57,944 --> 00:33:00,651
He needs to hear how
much the community
loves the Skating Oval
683
00:33:00,733 --> 00:33:02,691
and he's being such a Scrooge.
684
00:33:02,774 --> 00:33:04,981
Yes, I mean, I do know
him pretty well.
685
00:33:05,106 --> 00:33:06,688
He can be a grump,
686
00:33:06,813 --> 00:33:09,228
but he's not a bad guy
when you get to know him.
687
00:33:09,352 --> 00:33:11,434
What would be the angle?
688
00:33:11,518 --> 00:33:13,932
We appeal to his sense
of charity
689
00:33:14,015 --> 00:33:15,515
and giving at Christmastime.
690
00:33:15,598 --> 00:33:17,721
Melt ol' Ebenezer's cold heart.
691
00:33:17,847 --> 00:33:20,220
Yeah, something like that.
692
00:33:20,344 --> 00:33:21,985
You could be my Jacob Marley
and forewarn him
693
00:33:22,009 --> 00:33:24,550
of the doom and gloom that
will befall the city
694
00:33:24,633 --> 00:33:27,131
if he doesn't keep
the Skating Oval open.
695
00:33:27,214 --> 00:33:30,170
Look, honestly, I don't think
that's the right approach.
696
00:33:30,295 --> 00:33:31,628
Why not?
697
00:33:31,752 --> 00:33:33,418
Because Calvin looks
at my facility
698
00:33:33,501 --> 00:33:36,666
like a shining star in the
revitalization of the city.
699
00:33:36,791 --> 00:33:38,747
It's an economic engine
700
00:33:38,831 --> 00:33:42,411
that provides jobs and
adds to the tax base.
701
00:33:42,537 --> 00:33:43,785
He's all about the money.
702
00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:45,302
But it shouldn't just
be about the money.
703
00:33:45,326 --> 00:33:47,574
No, it shouldn't.
704
00:33:47,658 --> 00:33:49,073
We have to show him
how many people
705
00:33:49,156 --> 00:33:51,072
in the city love the Oval!
706
00:33:51,155 --> 00:33:52,570
But How?
707
00:33:54,444 --> 00:33:57,109
I'm thinking
a Christmas card campaign.
708
00:33:58,732 --> 00:34:00,707
We spread the word and get
as many people as possible
709
00:34:00,731 --> 00:34:02,188
to write him a Christmas card
710
00:34:02,271 --> 00:34:04,354
telling him how much the
Skating Oval means to them.
711
00:34:04,437 --> 00:34:05,936
See, now you're talking!
712
00:34:06,019 --> 00:34:08,059
Let's bury his desk
in Christmas cards!
713
00:34:08,184 --> 00:34:09,724
Okay, I'll reach out to
the community,
714
00:34:09,808 --> 00:34:11,515
and mine will be the first.
715
00:34:11,598 --> 00:34:13,555
I'll tell him how
disappointed Grace will be.
716
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:16,594
Thank you, Noah.
717
00:34:16,677 --> 00:34:18,301
I'm so grateful for your help.
718
00:34:18,384 --> 00:34:19,884
You're welcome.
719
00:34:20,008 --> 00:34:24,838
But now I have a favor
to ask of you.
720
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:27,003
Okay...
721
00:34:27,128 --> 00:34:31,000
Grace and I are going
to get our Christmas tree
this weekend.
722
00:34:31,084 --> 00:34:33,749
And she specifically asked
if you'd like to join us.
723
00:34:33,873 --> 00:34:34,997
Really?
724
00:34:35,039 --> 00:34:37,454
She hasn't really had
a strong female presence
725
00:34:37,537 --> 00:34:39,660
in her life so much
726
00:34:41,326 --> 00:34:42,949
and she really likes you.
727
00:34:43,033 --> 00:34:44,990
That's so sweet.
728
00:34:45,074 --> 00:34:47,946
I told her Christmas was
a family time,
729
00:34:48,030 --> 00:34:51,610
and maybe you have other plans.
730
00:34:51,735 --> 00:34:53,941
Well, my folks
are in California.
731
00:34:54,025 --> 00:34:56,607
They're not
coming back this year.
732
00:34:56,731 --> 00:35:01,436
Okay, so, maybe you
would like to join us?
733
00:35:01,561 --> 00:35:04,143
Is this Grace asking? Or you?
734
00:35:08,015 --> 00:35:09,056
It's me.
735
00:35:13,178 --> 00:35:14,885
I'd love to.
736
00:35:23,836 --> 00:35:27,625
Oh, wonderful.
Thank you, thank you.
737
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:31,414
Hey, before you leave, we're
trying to save the Oval.
738
00:35:31,497 --> 00:35:33,413
So send the mayor
a Christmas car,
739
00:35:33,537 --> 00:35:35,162
it could really
make a difference.
740
00:35:35,244 --> 00:35:36,910
Thanks, bye.
741
00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:40,449
Oh, hey are you
looking to rent skates?
742
00:35:40,574 --> 00:35:43,488
Perfect. Well, until then,
let me give you this.
743
00:35:43,572 --> 00:35:44,863
I'm trying to save the Oval,
744
00:35:44,946 --> 00:35:46,861

Hey, Sheila Sugarplum,
my undercover elf.
794
00:38:55,846 --> 00:38:57,304
Any scoops?
795
00:38:57,386 --> 00:38:59,635
Yeah, so, he got about
20 Christmas cards today.
796
00:38:59,759 --> 00:39:02,674
‐Not bad. ‐No, not at all.
797
00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:05,172
He was definitely half puzzled,
half intrigued.
798
00:39:05,298 --> 00:39:07,753
Well, okay, that's good I guess.
799
00:39:07,837 --> 00:39:09,128
We'll see.
800
00:39:09,211 --> 00:39:11,585
Remember, even if you
change his mind,
801
00:39:11,710 --> 00:39:13,142
he still has to
convince the City Council.
802
00:39:13,166 --> 00:39:15,248
Okay, well, one step at a time.
803
00:39:15,331 --> 00:39:18,912
And, um, there's a photo
of a girl in his office.
804
00:39:19,037 --> 00:39:20,661
I'll send it to you.
805
00:39:20,786 --> 00:39:22,451
She's outside in the picture
806
00:39:22,535 --> 00:39:24,117
and she's got skates
over her shoulder.
807
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,990
Really? Who is she?
808
00:39:27,073 --> 00:39:28,530
That could be his soft spot.
809
00:39:28,613 --> 00:39:30,112
Yeah, that's what
I was thinking.
810
00:39:30,195 --> 00:39:31,486
He says it's his daughter.
811
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:34,401
I know he's divorced because
his ex‐wife calls
812
00:39:34,526 --> 00:39:36,275
once in a while and
announces the fact
813
00:39:36,358 --> 00:39:39,147
that she's his ex pretty
definitively.
814
00:39:39,273 --> 00:39:40,813
Well, that's great.
815
00:39:40,938 --> 00:39:42,371
Let me know if you
learn anything more.
816
00:39:42,395 --> 00:39:43,893
Okay, will do.
817
00:39:43,977 --> 00:39:45,101
Thanks, Sheila!
818
00:39:45,184 --> 00:39:46,559

I thought Grace might
get a kick out of her.
832
00:41:00,171 --> 00:41:01,396
The one who works for the Mayor?
833
00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:03,834
One and the same.

Oh, hey!
836
00:41:07,956 --> 00:41:09,955
Nice outfit. What're you doing?
837
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,912
‐Helping Beth. ‐I can see that.
838
00:41:11,995 --> 00:41:13,712
Just picking up a
few shifts here and there.
839
00:41:13,744 --> 00:41:15,409
Don't worry, I'll be
there for you.
840
00:41:15,493 --> 00:41:18,282
I'm not worried,
I'm just amused.
841
00:41:18,365 --> 00:41:21,863
By the way,
that suit is adorable.
842
00:41:23,361 --> 00:41:26,610
Whoa, it's so cool!
843
00:41:26,693 --> 00:41:28,275
Grace, this is my
roommate Beth, er...
844
00:41:28,358 --> 00:41:30,231
‐Sheila Sugarplum. ‐Hi, Grace.
845
00:41:30,315 --> 00:41:32,063
You want a photo with Santa?
846
00:41:32,147 --> 00:41:33,788
Sure. I already wrote
him a letter, though.
847
00:41:33,812 --> 00:41:34,729
So he knows what I want.
848
00:41:34,811 --> 00:41:36,352
Smart.
849
00:41:36,477 --> 00:41:38,684
And this is her Dad.
850
00:41:38,808 --> 00:41:40,117
Very pleased to make your
acquaintance, once again.
851
00:41:40,141 --> 00:41:42,639
Nice to meet you, Sheila.
852
00:41:42,765 --> 00:41:44,530
Courtney, come on, let's
get a picture with Santa.
853
00:41:44,554 --> 00:41:45,637
Okay.
854
00:41:46,511 --> 00:41:49,051
Oh, you guys, so cute.
855
00:41:49,176 --> 00:41:51,632
I love it! So good!
856
00:41:51,758 --> 00:41:53,714
One more, perfect.
857
00:41:53,839 --> 00:41:56,421
Thank you, Santa.
858
00:41:56,546 --> 00:41:59,377
Grace, Courtney and I
are going to see if we
can find a tree.
859
00:41:59,460 --> 00:42:01,167
Do you mind helping
Sheila for a minute?
860
00:42:01,250 --> 00:42:03,874
‐Yes. ‐Yes, great.
861
00:42:03,957 --> 00:42:06,247
Okay, so we are going
to help our next customers.
862
00:42:06,329 --> 00:42:08,203
But you guys have
a Merry Christmas
863
00:42:08,328 --> 00:42:10,202
and, um, stay off
the naughty list!
864
00:42:10,327 --> 00:42:11,617
(giggles)
865
00:42:11,743 --> 00:42:13,200
Hi, you ready?
866
00:42:13,324 --> 00:42:14,615
Thank you.
867
00:42:14,741 --> 00:42:18,029
All right, tell Santa
what you want.
868
00:42:18,155 --> 00:42:20,694
It's not been until
this very moment
869
00:42:20,819 --> 00:42:25,275
I felt like I could actually
be in the Christmas spirit.
870
00:42:25,357 --> 00:42:26,857
So you feel it now?
871
00:42:26,982 --> 00:42:28,480
Yeah.
872
00:42:28,564 --> 00:42:31,644
For the first time in
a long time.
873
00:42:31,769 --> 00:42:33,643
I feel it, too.
874
00:42:33,768 --> 00:42:37,473
What was your Christmas
tradition as a kid?
875
00:42:37,598 --> 00:42:42,220
We had a heavy skating theme for
our Christmas tree decorations.
876
00:42:42,345 --> 00:42:43,927
Ours was hockey.
877
00:42:44,010 --> 00:42:45,426
Not surprising.
878
00:42:46,842 --> 00:42:47,966
What do you and Grace do?
879
00:42:49,965 --> 00:42:55,293
Well, besides the giant blow‐up
Santa on the front lawn?
880
00:42:55,419 --> 00:42:56,875
You have a giant blow‐up Santa?
881
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,581
Yes, we do. Grace's choice.
882
00:43:02,163 --> 00:43:03,454
How can I say no?
883
00:43:03,538 --> 00:43:05,619
What do the neighbors
say about that?
884
00:43:05,744 --> 00:43:07,576
They're good sports.
885
00:43:07,660 --> 00:43:11,532
But I mean asides from that,
we're pretty traditional.
886
00:43:13,447 --> 00:43:15,154
Grace likes gingerbread men.
887
00:43:15,278 --> 00:43:18,069
Gingerbread people...
888
00:43:18,111 --> 00:43:21,316
So we make cookie ornaments
for the tree.
889
00:43:21,441 --> 00:43:24,563
And we decorate them
like her and I,
890
00:43:24,689 --> 00:43:28,436
Oma, Ompa, aunts, and uncles.
891
00:43:30,892 --> 00:43:32,641
And Mom?
892
00:43:33,932 --> 00:43:36,222
Yeah, Mom too.
893
00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:38,428
She's actually the angel
on the top of our tree.
894
00:43:40,593 --> 00:43:43,925
Oh, wow.
895
00:43:46,215 --> 00:43:48,712
I'm sorry. That is so touching.
896
00:43:48,754 --> 00:43:50,544
Don't apologize.
897
00:43:52,543 --> 00:43:53,584
It gets me too.
898
00:43:54,833 --> 00:43:57,082
It was Grace's idea.
899
00:43:57,206 --> 00:43:59,579
It was?
900
00:43:59,704 --> 00:44:00,745
Yeah.
901
00:44:02,203 --> 00:44:05,241
How does she handle it?
Not having her mom around.
902
00:44:06,741 --> 00:44:09,198
She's a trouper.
903
00:44:09,322 --> 00:44:12,153
I think she mostly remembers
the memories I tell her
904
00:44:12,236 --> 00:44:13,860
and the pictures I have.
905
00:44:16,525 --> 00:44:20,106
That's how we keep
her alive, in our hearts.
906
00:44:23,811 --> 00:44:26,077
We don't have to talk about it
if it makes you uncomfortable.
907
00:44:26,101 --> 00:44:27,642
No, no.
908
00:44:28,683 --> 00:44:30,265
No, it's good.
909
00:44:31,264 --> 00:44:33,763
Honestly, I, um...
910
00:44:34,970 --> 00:44:38,009
I haven't had anyone
911
00:44:38,092 --> 00:44:40,758
I felt comfortable talking to.
912
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:41,840
Really?
913
00:44:44,755 --> 00:44:45,754
Yeah, until now.
914
00:44:53,623 --> 00:44:56,495
You guys, I found
a perfect tree!
915
00:44:56,621 --> 00:44:58,702
‐Oh, you did? ‐Yeah, come here.
916
00:44:58,785 --> 00:45:00,576

So good.
927
00:45:39,714 --> 00:45:43,544
So do you save the Christmas
ornaments every year?
928
00:45:43,669 --> 00:45:47,292
We tried that one year
and a mouse ate them.
929
00:45:47,375 --> 00:45:50,831
What? Must have been
one happy mouse!
930
00:45:50,913 --> 00:45:53,328
It was a big mess.
931
00:45:53,453 --> 00:45:55,077
I'll bet!
932
00:45:55,202 --> 00:45:56,553
We'll have to make
you this year, Courtney.

Really?
934
00:45:58,408 --> 00:46:00,615
I thought it was just family.
935
00:46:00,739 --> 00:46:03,280
Family and special people.

00:46:03,363 --> 00:46:04,945
Aw...
937
00:46:05,070 --> 00:46:09,234

Oh, wow. A place of honor.

You deserve it.
948
00:46:54,450 --> 00:46:58,447
And then I'll put me
right next to you.
949
00:47:02,611 --> 00:47:05,526
And Daddy on the other side.
950
00:47:07,273 --> 00:47:09,272
Out of the mouths of babes.
951
00:47:10,396 --> 00:47:12,270
‐What's that mean Daddy?
‐Nothing.
952
00:47:14,685 --> 00:47:17,391
We're going to have a
Merry Christmas this year.
953
00:47:17,517 --> 00:47:19,681
I can feel it.
954
00:47:19,765 --> 00:47:21,721
Me too, sweetheart.
955
00:47:21,846 --> 00:47:22,970
Me too.
956
00:47:23,803 --> 00:47:27,717
Oh, and we have Mom.
957
00:47:27,842 --> 00:47:29,673
Our angel.
958
00:47:29,798 --> 00:47:31,506
Our angel.
959
00:47:31,631 --> 00:47:33,921
‐Let me. ‐Okay.
960
00:47:34,004 --> 00:47:38,292
Three, two, one, blastoff!
961
00:47:38,375 --> 00:47:40,082
There you go.
962
00:48:06,314 --> 00:48:07,480
What's this?
963
00:48:09,478 --> 00:48:10,870
Well, you've been getting
so many Christmas cards
964
00:48:10,894 --> 00:48:12,726
I thought I would display a few.
965
00:48:12,766 --> 00:48:13,974
A few?
966
00:48:14,099 --> 00:48:15,390
Yeah. There's a bunch more here.
967
00:48:15,474 --> 00:48:17,472
Guess a lot of people
just want to wish you
968
00:48:17,597 --> 00:48:18,715
a Merry Christmas this year.
969
00:48:21,552 --> 00:48:22,550
Take these down.
970
00:48:22,593 --> 00:48:25,008
‐But sir... ‐Now!
971
00:48:27,755 --> 00:48:29,255
Well, humbug to you too.
972
00:48:36,458 --> 00:48:38,582
Hey. Here he comes.
973
00:48:47,824 --> 00:48:48,824
Courtney!
974
00:48:48,948 --> 00:48:50,448
Oh, Mr. Greenwood.
975
00:48:50,531 --> 00:48:52,214
You're just the person
I was looking to talk to.
976
00:48:52,238 --> 00:48:54,902
Well, then this
is fortuitous timing.
977
00:48:55,027 --> 00:48:56,152
What's the meaning of this?
978
00:48:56,277 --> 00:48:57,984
Excuse me, I'm not
sure I understand?
979
00:48:58,067 --> 00:49:00,315
I'm being flooded
with Christmas cards.
980
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,897
How nice.
981
00:49:02,022 --> 00:49:04,728
And all of them say
"I want to save the Oval".
982
00:49:04,854 --> 00:49:06,269
Who have you been talking to?
983
00:49:06,352 --> 00:49:07,810
I may have mentioned
to a few people
984
00:49:07,892 --> 00:49:08,993
that the city wants
to shut it down.
985
00:49:09,017 --> 00:49:10,433
Oh, that's very nice,
986
00:49:10,516 --> 00:49:12,433
but it won't change the fact
that we can't afford
987
00:49:12,473 --> 00:49:13,638
to keep it running.
988
00:49:13,763 --> 00:49:15,762
We'll see.
989
00:49:15,846 --> 00:49:17,986
And what're you doing
with all those kids
out there this morning?
990
00:49:18,010 --> 00:49:20,591
I already told you
the Christmas Carnival
is not happening.
991
00:49:20,675 --> 00:49:23,798
I'm still counting on my
Christmas miracle, Mr. Mayor.
992
00:49:23,881 --> 00:49:25,296
Mr. Greenwood!
993
00:49:25,422 --> 00:49:26,938
Rena Blackstone from
the Telegram & Gazette.
994
00:49:26,962 --> 00:49:28,461
Yes, of course, Rena, hi.
995
00:49:28,545 --> 00:49:30,917
Is it true that you are
thinking of pulling
996
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,749
the city's funding
for the Skating Oval?
997
00:49:32,833 --> 00:49:36,080
I'm not prepared to talk about
the city's budget issues.
998
00:49:36,163 --> 00:49:38,287
Right at the moment,
that's a work in progress.
999
00:49:38,412 --> 00:49:40,910
Well, we had a report
that you've received
1000
00:49:40,993 --> 00:49:43,283
more than 1000 Christmas
cards from citizens
1001
00:49:43,367 --> 00:49:45,323
who all want to
save the Skating Oval.
1002
00:49:45,448 --> 00:49:46,906
Do you care to comment?
1003
00:49:46,988 --> 00:49:48,571
Well, I can't confirm the number
1004
00:49:48,655 --> 00:49:50,985
but we have received quite
a lot of Christmas cards.
1005
00:49:51,111 --> 00:49:52,610
We do every Christmas.
1006
00:49:52,734 --> 00:49:57,148
But were they specifically
supporting the Skating Oval?
1007
00:49:57,273 --> 00:49:59,063
As a matter of fact
some of them are.
1008
00:49:59,146 --> 00:50:00,823
I was just discussing
that with Ms. Bennett
1009
00:50:00,895 --> 00:50:05,101
who as I'm sure
you know runs the Oval.
1010
00:50:05,226 --> 00:50:07,640
Are those some of
the cards there?
1011
00:50:25,418 --> 00:50:27,750
This is a PR nightmare.
1012
00:50:27,875 --> 00:50:29,142
We're just trying to
run the city
1013
00:50:29,166 --> 00:50:30,499
in a responsible way
and now this!
1014
00:50:32,330 --> 00:50:34,661
You gotta admit,
it's a pretty clever idea.
1015
00:50:34,745 --> 00:50:36,494
I don't care how clever it is.
1016
00:50:36,577 --> 00:50:39,117
Bottom line is
we can't afford it.
1017
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,948
Have you ever skated out there?
It's pretty special.
1018
00:50:42,032 --> 00:50:45,488
No. And I don't intend to.
1019
00:50:45,528 --> 00:50:47,985
I'm not going to let some
figure skater make me look bad.
1020
00:50:49,068 --> 00:50:51,192
Might be a bit late for that.
1021
00:50:56,229 --> 00:50:59,102
Well, that's why
I need your help.
1022
00:50:59,227 --> 00:51:01,100
We got to save some face here,
1023
00:51:01,184 --> 00:51:03,474
we got to throw the Carnival.
1024
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:04,973
Great, happy to help.
1025
00:51:05,056 --> 00:51:07,721
I want you to do it
at your place.
1026
00:51:07,804 --> 00:51:09,094
No, no, wait a minute...
1027
00:51:09,178 --> 00:51:10,926
No, it's going to be great.
1028
00:51:10,968 --> 00:51:14,091
A huge celebration as part
of your grand opening!
1029
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,838
You can absorb the cost, right?
1030
00:51:19,628 --> 00:51:21,086
Aye, good man. Thank you.
1031
00:51:23,335 --> 00:51:25,832
Yeah, he's in there right now...
1032
00:51:25,915 --> 00:51:27,393
I'll let you know
if I learn anything.
1033
00:51:27,998 --> 00:51:31,870
Yeah. Gotta go. Bye.
1034
00:51:31,911 --> 00:51:33,452
‐Bye, Noah. ‐Bye, Beth.
1035
00:51:36,907 --> 00:51:38,448
That was weird.
1036
00:51:40,447 --> 00:51:42,403
You ready, girls?
1037
00:51:42,486 --> 00:51:43,694
Yeah.
1038
00:51:43,777 --> 00:51:45,443
Has anybody seen Grace?
1039
00:51:49,398 --> 00:51:51,439
Well, let's get out there.
1040
00:51:51,564 --> 00:51:52,770
Have fun.
1041
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,141
(chuckling)
1042
00:52:04,013 --> 00:52:06,344
‐Hey! ‐Hi. What's this?
1043
00:52:06,469 --> 00:52:07,843
I took your advice.
1044
00:52:07,926 --> 00:52:09,550
I'm putting together a book.
1045
00:52:09,675 --> 00:52:12,381
‐Crying babies with Santa?
‐Mm‐hmm.
1046
00:52:12,506 --> 00:52:14,463
Remember my uncle who
runs a publishing company?
1047
00:52:14,546 --> 00:52:16,628
Yeah, so I told him
the idea and he loves it.
1048
00:52:16,712 --> 00:52:18,502
Oh my gosh, that's brilliant!
1049
00:52:18,584 --> 00:52:20,084
You're gonna sell
millions of these.
1050
00:52:20,167 --> 00:52:21,666
I hope so!
1051
00:52:21,791 --> 00:52:25,122
And I want to donate half the
proceeds to the Skating Oval.
1052
00:52:25,205 --> 00:52:28,661
Beth, that is ridiculously
generous of you,
1053
00:52:28,786 --> 00:52:30,784
and absolutely not necessary.
1054
00:52:30,909 --> 00:52:32,533
Get your book published first.
1055
00:52:32,658 --> 00:52:34,656
We'll figure this out.
1056
00:52:34,739 --> 00:52:36,738
Here's one for you.
1057
00:52:39,528 --> 00:52:42,775
Oh, it's so cute. Thank you.
1058
00:52:42,817 --> 00:52:44,982
Yeah. Oh, so by the way.
1059
00:52:45,107 --> 00:52:46,690
I was looking at the
city's budget today
1060
00:52:46,814 --> 00:52:47,938
and noticed something.
1061
00:52:48,063 --> 00:52:49,479
What?
1062
00:52:49,603 --> 00:52:51,370
The Skating Oval's funding
falls under Parks and
Recreation.
1063
00:52:51,394 --> 00:52:52,768
That makes sense.
1064
00:52:52,851 --> 00:52:54,891
And the Parks and Rec
budget is pretty tight.
1065
00:52:54,933 --> 00:52:56,473
I can see why
they're looking to cut.
1066
00:52:56,598 --> 00:52:58,222
Yeah.
1067
00:52:58,347 --> 00:53:01,970
But, there is a separate line
item for memorials and statues.
1068
00:53:02,095 --> 00:53:02,927
Really...
1069
00:53:03,052 --> 00:53:05,051
And there's a surplus right now.
1070
00:53:05,133 --> 00:53:07,548
Guess we haven't been erecting
any war memorials recently.
1071
00:53:07,632 --> 00:53:10,879
Huh. Good to know.
1072
00:53:11,004 --> 00:53:11,879
Mm‐hmm.
1073
00:53:12,003 --> 00:53:14,502
And then there's something else.
1074
00:53:14,585 --> 00:53:17,458
It's probably nothing, but
1075
00:53:17,541 --> 00:53:20,331
Noah was really cold when he
left the Mayor's office today.
1076
00:53:20,414 --> 00:53:21,913
Cold?
1077
00:53:22,038 --> 00:53:24,453
Yeah, like he barely
even acknowledged me.
1078
00:53:24,578 --> 00:53:26,202
That's strange.
1079
00:53:26,244 --> 00:53:28,699
I know. Like I said,
it's probably nothing.
1080
00:53:28,783 --> 00:53:30,531
Grace wasn't at
class today, either.
1081
00:53:30,657 --> 00:53:32,197
Really?
1082
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,279
Yeah.
1083
00:53:34,403 --> 00:53:35,694
Hmm.
1084
00:54:06,005 --> 00:54:09,086
Hi, this is Noah, you know
what to do after the beep.
1085
00:54:09,170 --> 00:54:10,336
(phone beeps)
1086
00:54:10,461 --> 00:54:12,126
Hi, it's me, Courtney.
1087
00:54:12,251 --> 00:54:14,291
Missed you and Grace
at class today.
1088
00:54:14,416 --> 00:54:17,914
Just wanted to make
sure everything is okay...
1089
00:54:18,038 --> 00:54:19,662
Okay, bye.
1090
00:54:21,286 --> 00:54:22,993
Hey.
1091
00:54:23,118 --> 00:54:24,509
Hey, so what's up with
the Christmas Carnival?
1092
00:54:24,533 --> 00:54:26,073
You tell me.
1093
00:54:26,199 --> 00:54:28,090
I just got a call from
somebody at Noah's Ice Center
1094
00:54:28,114 --> 00:54:30,987
about booking me and Santa
there, not at the Oval.
1095
00:54:31,112 --> 00:54:32,028
What?!
1096
00:54:32,111 --> 00:54:33,194
(mutters)
1097
00:55:01,214 --> 00:55:02,797
Hey! Noah!
1098
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,879
What the heck is this?
1099
00:55:06,460 --> 00:55:08,269
I've been meaning to talk
to you about that, Courtney.
1100
00:55:08,293 --> 00:55:09,584
How could you?
1101
00:55:09,709 --> 00:55:11,183
I thought we were
getting kind of close.
1102
00:55:11,207 --> 00:55:13,081
I thought maybe I meant
something to you.
1103
00:55:13,205 --> 00:55:14,705
We were, you do.
1104
00:55:14,830 --> 00:55:16,054
Then why would you agree to hold
1105
00:55:16,078 --> 00:55:18,035
the Christmas Carnival
at your place?
1106
00:55:18,161 --> 00:55:19,344
Because the Mayor asked me to.
1107
00:55:19,368 --> 00:55:20,242
You betrayed me.
1108
00:55:20,367 --> 00:55:21,575
No, Courtney.
1109
00:55:21,658 --> 00:55:22,924
Understand, I didn't betray you.
1110
00:55:22,948 --> 00:55:24,382
How could I possibly
understand that?
1111
00:55:24,406 --> 00:55:26,029
You don't know the whole story.
1112
00:55:26,155 --> 00:55:27,528
And why is that Noah?
1113
00:55:27,611 --> 00:55:29,652
Because I haven't
told it to you.
1114
00:55:31,942 --> 00:55:35,398
This job and that Skating Oval
mean the world to me.
1115
00:55:35,523 --> 00:55:37,147
And it breaks my heart
to think that kids
1116
00:55:37,230 --> 00:55:39,686
like Grace won't have
a chance to enjoy it.
1117
00:55:39,769 --> 00:55:40,977
Courtney, listen...
1118
00:55:41,102 --> 00:55:43,683
‐Goodbye, Noah.
‐Please, Courtney.
1119
00:56:13,453 --> 00:56:14,827
(gasps)
1120
00:56:22,238 --> 00:56:23,945
(sighs)
1121
00:56:25,236 --> 00:56:27,068
Courtney?
1122
00:56:27,193 --> 00:56:28,566
Is that you?
1123
00:56:30,232 --> 00:56:33,063
Courtney... Hey!
1124
00:56:33,146 --> 00:56:34,978
Courtney!
1125
00:56:36,602 --> 00:56:37,810
Are you all right?
1126
00:56:37,893 --> 00:56:40,474
I'm fine. It's just my knee.
1127
00:56:40,557 --> 00:56:41,723
Ooh, um...
1128
00:56:41,848 --> 00:56:44,222
Here, let me help you up.
1129
00:56:46,054 --> 00:56:47,677
Oof.
1130
00:56:47,803 --> 00:56:50,467
Oh, that looks...
1131
00:56:50,550 --> 00:56:51,650
Yeah, here, get you
arm around me.
1132
00:56:51,674 --> 00:56:53,590
‐Thank you. ‐Yeah.
1133
00:56:53,714 --> 00:56:55,922
‐How's it feel? ‐Oh! Not good.
1134
00:56:56,046 --> 00:56:58,669
Okay. I'll get you
to a hospital.
1135
00:56:58,753 --> 00:56:59,951
No, no, no, just take me home.
1136
00:57:00,043 --> 00:57:01,667
‐Really? ‐Yeah. I'll be fine.
1137
00:57:01,750 --> 00:57:03,791
I can't deal with
the hospital right now.
1138
00:57:03,874 --> 00:57:04,748
Okay.
1139
00:57:04,831 --> 00:57:06,206
Oh!
1140
00:57:11,951 --> 00:57:13,783
(door opens)
1141
00:57:19,279 --> 00:57:21,111
Hey, sunshine!
1142
00:57:21,235 --> 00:57:22,443
‐Hi. ‐How'd you sleep?
1143
00:57:22,568 --> 00:57:24,150
I'm not sure I did.
1144
00:57:24,275 --> 00:57:26,191
You did.
1145
00:57:26,316 --> 00:57:28,730
I got you an MRI appointment
for later this afternoon.
1146
00:57:28,813 --> 00:57:32,311
Whoa. How'd you do that so fast?
What time is it?
1147
00:57:32,436 --> 00:57:33,976
Well, it's almost noon and
it helps
1148
00:57:34,101 --> 00:57:35,767
when you call
from the Mayor's office.
1149
00:57:35,850 --> 00:57:37,016
Noon?
1150
00:57:37,141 --> 00:57:39,264
Oh, my goodness.
I guess I did sleep.
1151
00:57:39,347 --> 00:57:42,012
Yeah. How's the knee feel?
1152
00:57:42,137 --> 00:57:43,719
Like a balloon.
1153
00:57:43,802 --> 00:57:45,280
Oh, honey.
I'll get you some more ice.
1154
00:57:47,592 --> 00:57:50,465
Trevor was so sweet
to bring me home last night.
1155
00:57:50,589 --> 00:57:52,629
Did I hear somebody say my name?
1156
00:57:52,755 --> 00:57:55,586
Oh, good morning Trevor.
1157
00:57:56,626 --> 00:57:59,000
It's the afternoon.
1158
00:57:59,083 --> 00:58:00,081
Right.
1159
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:04,121
Oh.
1160
00:58:05,245 --> 00:58:07,243
Oh, you might
not want to see that.
1161
00:58:07,368 --> 00:58:09,034
I've already read it.
1162
00:58:09,117 --> 00:58:12,032
I guess we know why
he was ghosting you.
1163
00:58:12,157 --> 00:58:13,322
How could he do this?
1164
00:58:13,406 --> 00:58:15,779
He knows what this means to me.
1165
00:58:15,903 --> 00:58:17,694
My guess is that
he didn't have a choice.
1166
00:58:17,777 --> 00:58:20,109
Of course he had a choice.
You always have a choice.
1167
00:58:21,733 --> 00:58:23,648
‐Wait a sec? ‐What?
1168
00:58:23,732 --> 00:58:26,105
If Trevor is here,
who is at the Oval?
1169
00:58:26,229 --> 00:58:27,729
I closed it for the day.
1170
00:58:27,853 --> 00:58:30,019
‐What!?
‐You were in no shape
to go to work.
1171
00:58:30,144 --> 00:58:31,600
What should I have done?
1172
00:58:31,684 --> 00:58:34,889
That's exactly what they want!
A closed rink.
1173
00:58:36,264 --> 00:58:37,804
Where do you think
you are going?
1174
00:58:37,887 --> 00:58:39,344
To work.
1175
00:58:39,469 --> 00:58:41,759
Wait. Take your ice!
1176
00:58:45,257 --> 00:58:46,880
Thanks for the lift.
1177
00:58:47,755 --> 00:58:49,671
So what exactly did they say?
1178
00:58:49,795 --> 00:58:52,918
It was just an MRI technician.
1179
00:58:53,002 --> 00:58:54,667
Yeah, and...
1180
00:58:54,792 --> 00:58:56,665
We won't know anything
until my doctor
1181
00:58:56,790 --> 00:58:59,579
‐takes a look at it next week.
‐Ugh. Well, how's it feel?
1182
00:58:59,663 --> 00:59:02,452
Like I twisted it.
It's going to be fine.
1183
00:59:02,536 --> 00:59:04,951
You athletes are
so stubbornly stoic.
1184
00:59:05,076 --> 00:59:08,281
Your leg could be falling
off and you'd be like...
1185
00:59:08,365 --> 00:59:12,112
Mm‐mm, put me
in coach, I'm fine.
1186
00:59:12,237 --> 00:59:13,444
Yeah, so?
1187
00:59:15,734 --> 00:59:18,565
So are you sure
you want to do this?
1188
00:59:18,649 --> 00:59:20,606
What? Go to Noah's house?
1189
00:59:20,730 --> 00:59:21,854
No.
1190
00:59:21,938 --> 00:59:24,978
But give Grace her present, yes.
1191
00:59:34,887 --> 00:59:37,302
Just wait here. I won't be long.
1192
00:59:37,426 --> 00:59:38,842
I'm not going anywhere.
1193
00:59:44,089 --> 00:59:45,712
‐Got it? ‐Yeah.
1194
01:00:01,326 --> 01:00:02,658
Oh, Courtney! Hi!
1195
01:00:02,783 --> 01:00:05,031
Hi, Grace.
I've missed you at class.
1196
01:00:05,114 --> 01:00:06,405
Me, too!
1197
01:00:06,530 --> 01:00:08,321
What happened? Are you okay?
1198
01:00:08,445 --> 01:00:10,486
Oh, I'm fine, thanks.
1199
01:00:10,569 --> 01:00:11,693
Dad! Courtney's here.
1200
01:00:11,817 --> 01:00:13,400
Come on in.
1201
01:00:20,770 --> 01:00:23,975
I really just stopped
by to give you this.
1202
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:25,391
Thanks.
1203
01:00:25,516 --> 01:00:27,556
Should I open it now?
1204
01:00:32,053 --> 01:00:34,842
No. No, you should wait
until Christmas day.
1205
01:00:35,842 --> 01:00:38,757
Hey, Courtney.
What happened. You okay?
1206
01:00:38,839 --> 01:00:40,422
I'm fine.
1207
01:00:40,546 --> 01:00:42,663
I just stopped by to give
Grace her Christmas present.
1208
01:00:42,712 --> 01:00:44,585
We really miss her at class.
1209
01:00:44,668 --> 01:00:45,792
Can I go back, Dad?
1210
01:00:48,166 --> 01:00:49,873
We're still rehearsing
1211
01:00:49,956 --> 01:00:51,580
even though it looks
like there won't be
1212
01:00:51,705 --> 01:00:53,079
any Christmas Carnival
at the Oval.
1213
01:00:53,203 --> 01:00:55,535
No Carnival?
1214
01:00:55,619 --> 01:00:58,742
No, the city moved
it to your Dad's place.
1215
01:00:58,867 --> 01:01:01,239
We can't we do
the show at the Oval?
1216
01:01:01,323 --> 01:01:02,655
I'm afraid not.
1217
01:01:03,571 --> 01:01:05,403
Not unless your Dad and I can
1218
01:01:05,528 --> 01:01:06,985
get the Mayor to reconsider.
1219
01:01:07,110 --> 01:01:09,525
Dad, I'll talk to him.
1220
01:01:09,609 --> 01:01:11,482
Unfortunately,
it's a little late.
1221
01:01:11,607 --> 01:01:13,397
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
1222
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,146
Please Dad, let me talk to him.
1223
01:01:15,229 --> 01:01:17,352
I want to do
the show at the Oval.
1224
01:01:18,518 --> 01:01:20,183
I really tried.
1225
01:01:20,267 --> 01:01:22,515
I'm sorry.
1226
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:25,097
Merry Christmas, Grace.
1227
01:01:32,924 --> 01:01:35,089
Merry Christmas, Courtney.
1228
01:01:40,335 --> 01:01:43,417
Hey. How'd it go?
1229
01:01:47,622 --> 01:01:48,871
Go.
1230
01:01:48,996 --> 01:01:50,328
You okay?
1231
01:01:50,412 --> 01:01:51,619
Just go, please.
1232
01:02:04,318 --> 01:02:06,358
Who is this girl?
1233
01:02:06,483 --> 01:02:09,772
That's the girl from
Mayor Greenwood's office.
1234
01:02:09,856 --> 01:02:10,854
That's his daughter.
1235
01:02:10,896 --> 01:02:12,229
Exactly.
1236
01:02:12,312 --> 01:02:14,519
What's the same photo
doing in Noah's house?
1237
01:02:14,644 --> 01:02:15,518
It is?
1238
01:02:15,643 --> 01:02:17,517
Yeah, right in the front hall.
1239
01:02:17,641 --> 01:02:19,116
I don't know how
I never noticed it before.
1240
01:02:19,140 --> 01:02:22,388
‐That's weird. ‐Right?
1241
01:02:22,471 --> 01:02:26,593
And wait a second, Grace said
she could talk to the Mayor.
1242
01:02:26,677 --> 01:02:29,008
She did?
1243
01:02:29,132 --> 01:02:31,923
And what does Ompa mean?
1244
01:02:32,005 --> 01:02:33,796
Ompa?
1245
01:02:33,921 --> 01:02:35,878
Yeah, I remember
When I first met Grace
1246
01:02:35,962 --> 01:02:39,376
she said that her Ompa
worked for the city.
1247
01:02:39,500 --> 01:02:42,956
I think it's a
pet name for Grandpa.
1248
01:02:47,370 --> 01:02:49,326
Do a Google search
of images of Noah.
1249
01:02:49,409 --> 01:02:52,199
See if anything comes up.
1250
01:02:52,324 --> 01:02:55,113
There are a bunch of
him playing hockey...
1251
01:02:55,239 --> 01:02:57,986
Oh, wait a second.
That must be his wife.
1252
01:02:58,070 --> 01:03:00,211
He doesn't have any pictures
of his wife in their house?
1253
01:03:00,235 --> 01:03:01,942
He must, I just
didn't look closely.
1254
01:03:02,067 --> 01:03:03,690
Figured it was private.
1255
01:03:03,816 --> 01:03:05,272
Plus a little awkward.
1256
01:03:08,229 --> 01:03:10,811
She looks kind of like
the girl in the photo.
1257
01:03:13,767 --> 01:03:14,933
Yeah, she does...
1258
01:03:15,057 --> 01:03:16,847
Wait a sec.
1259
01:03:21,511 --> 01:03:22,927
Oh, my goodness. That's it.
1260
01:03:23,010 --> 01:03:25,133
What?
1261
01:03:25,217 --> 01:03:27,089
We were right.
1262
01:03:27,173 --> 01:03:29,339
What? Show me.
1263
01:03:29,463 --> 01:03:31,087
She was the Mayor's daughter.
1264
01:03:31,170 --> 01:03:32,086
Which makes Noah...
1265
01:03:32,170 --> 01:03:33,627
The mayor's son‐in‐law
1266
01:03:33,710 --> 01:03:36,125
and Grace is the
Mayor's grand‐daughter.
1267
01:03:36,250 --> 01:03:38,457
Oh wow...
1268
01:03:38,499 --> 01:03:39,914
It all makes total sense.
1269
01:03:39,997 --> 01:03:41,413
It sure does.
1270
01:03:44,327 --> 01:03:46,950
She died of Melanoma.
1271
01:03:47,075 --> 01:03:49,782
Melanoma? Oh, that's awful.
1272
01:03:52,362 --> 01:03:53,779
So what do we do now?
1273
01:04:00,357 --> 01:04:02,106
Your daughter, Mr. Mayor.
1274
01:04:02,230 --> 01:04:04,896
Thank you.
1275
01:04:05,020 --> 01:04:06,894
Melanoma runs in my family, too.
1276
01:04:08,601 --> 01:04:10,100
Listen, I appreciate
your concern
1277
01:04:10,224 --> 01:04:12,432
but what is this all about?
1278
01:04:13,473 --> 01:04:15,846
I can't believe
I just figured it out...
1279
01:04:15,928 --> 01:04:18,385
why you didn't fight
harder to save the Oval.
1280
01:04:18,469 --> 01:04:20,568
Why you're moving
the Christmas Carnival
to Noah's place.
1281
01:04:20,592 --> 01:04:22,549
I fought as hard as I could.
1282
01:04:22,632 --> 01:04:24,173
The bottom line
is the bottom line.
1283
01:04:24,256 --> 01:04:26,379
We can't afford it.
1284
01:04:28,128 --> 01:04:30,585
I saw the same photo
at Noah's house.
1285
01:04:32,666 --> 01:04:36,205
So, what, are you going
to sic your reporter friend
1286
01:04:36,289 --> 01:04:37,487
from the Telegram on me again?
1287
01:04:37,580 --> 01:04:39,412
Call it rampant nepotism?
1288
01:04:39,494 --> 01:04:40,952
No, Mr. Mayor, no.
1289
01:04:44,991 --> 01:04:49,654
Losing Sarah was
the hardest thing
1290
01:04:49,738 --> 01:04:51,944
I've ever had to face
in my entire life.
1291
01:04:54,525 --> 01:04:56,982
I'm so sorry, Mr. Greenwood.
1292
01:04:57,107 --> 01:04:58,480
I really am.
1293
01:05:02,019 --> 01:05:04,393
She was an ice skater,
wasn't she?
1294
01:05:05,809 --> 01:05:07,391
Yes, she was.
1295
01:05:18,007 --> 01:05:20,297
I taught her myself up
at Comet pond.
1296
01:05:21,839 --> 01:05:26,419
Some of my happiest
memories are of skating
1297
01:05:26,502 --> 01:05:28,916
with Sarah at the pond...
1298
01:05:32,414 --> 01:05:33,788
...at Christmas time.
1299
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,159
I have an idea
I'd like to propose.
1300
01:05:38,284 --> 01:05:41,366
And what might that be?
1301
01:05:41,449 --> 01:05:45,405
I'd like to name
the Skating Oval after Sarah.
1302
01:05:45,488 --> 01:05:48,943
I'd like to make it the
Sarah Tremblay memorial rink.
1303
01:05:49,068 --> 01:05:53,773
The Christmas Carnival could
be a fundraiser for Melanoma.
1304
01:05:53,898 --> 01:05:55,397
Each year the extra proceeds
1305
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,144
could be donated in her
name to Melanoma research.
1306
01:05:59,269 --> 01:06:02,600
Mr. Mayor, I studied
the city budget
1307
01:06:02,724 --> 01:06:04,033
and there might be a way
to take the rink
1308
01:06:04,057 --> 01:06:05,348
off of parks and rec
1309
01:06:05,473 --> 01:06:07,180
and fund it with money
appropriated
1310
01:06:07,305 --> 01:06:08,762
for statues and memorials,
1311
01:06:08,887 --> 01:06:11,385
which hasn't been
tapped for a few years.
1312
01:06:13,258 --> 01:06:14,924
You've done your homework.
1313
01:06:15,049 --> 01:06:17,006
Yes, sir.
1314
01:06:17,130 --> 01:06:18,338
What do you think?
1315
01:06:21,252 --> 01:06:23,793
You'd need a citizen's petition.
1316
01:06:23,876 --> 01:06:27,123
I got over a thousand people to
send Christmas Cards, didn't I?
1317
01:06:29,039 --> 01:06:30,288
Yes, you did.
1318
01:06:30,371 --> 01:06:32,578
I'll get the signatures.
1319
01:06:32,702 --> 01:06:35,409
But it's too late to change
the venue for the carnival.
1320
01:06:35,533 --> 01:06:37,158
The vendors are already...
1321
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,323
I think Noah can help me there.
1322
01:06:39,406 --> 01:06:43,403
I told you, Mr. Mayor, I
believe in Christmas miracles.
1323
01:06:47,733 --> 01:06:49,732
You're starting to
make me believe, too.
1324
01:06:51,397 --> 01:06:54,436
But, I can't take your
proposal to the city council.
1325
01:06:54,519 --> 01:06:56,310
Why not?
1326
01:06:56,393 --> 01:06:58,267
Because it's in
my daughter's name.
1327
01:06:58,309 --> 01:07:01,889
Oh, right, of course.
That could be misconstrued.
1328
01:07:01,972 --> 01:07:04,679
But you could.
1329
01:07:04,803 --> 01:07:05,845
Me?
1330
01:07:08,635 --> 01:07:13,173
City council meeting
is tomorrow.
1331
01:07:13,256 --> 01:07:15,088
I'll put you on the agenda.
1332
01:07:34,656 --> 01:07:35,655
Hey.
1333
01:07:35,698 --> 01:07:37,196
Hey.
1334
01:07:45,232 --> 01:07:46,731
How's the knee?
1335
01:07:46,856 --> 01:07:47,855
It's fine.
1336
01:07:47,938 --> 01:07:49,354
Nothing's torn, just a sprain.
1337
01:07:50,562 --> 01:07:51,977
You are tough, huh?
1338
01:07:52,060 --> 01:07:53,976
I spoke to your Father‐in‐law.
1339
01:07:54,059 --> 01:07:54,933
You did?
1340
01:07:55,058 --> 01:07:56,266
Why didn't you tell me?
1341
01:07:56,391 --> 01:07:57,889
Look, I didn't want you to think
1342
01:07:57,973 --> 01:07:59,597
I was getting
special consideration.
1343
01:07:59,722 --> 01:08:02,511
And you didn't?
1344
01:08:02,595 --> 01:08:04,843
Look, I didn't come here
to get mad at you again
1345
01:08:04,926 --> 01:08:06,592
and we don't have much time.
1346
01:08:06,717 --> 01:08:08,548
For what?
1347
01:08:08,673 --> 01:08:11,297
There's an alternate way
to fund the rink.
1348
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:12,962
Look, Courtney, I want to
1349
01:08:13,045 --> 01:08:14,627
save the Skating Oval
as much as anyone.
1350
01:08:14,752 --> 01:08:16,126
Especially now that I know you.
1351
01:08:16,251 --> 01:08:18,457
And Calvin does, too,
his hands are just tied.
1352
01:08:18,583 --> 01:08:20,081
Exactly.
1353
01:08:20,164 --> 01:08:21,806
Which is why I'm going before
the city council tomorrow
1354
01:08:21,830 --> 01:08:22,870
with a proposal.
1355
01:08:22,996 --> 01:08:24,120
Really?
1356
01:08:24,203 --> 01:08:26,160
You have to be okay
with this idea.
1357
01:08:26,286 --> 01:08:29,616
And, if it works I'm going
to need your help.
1358
01:08:29,700 --> 01:08:31,781
Okay...
1359
01:08:31,906 --> 01:08:33,131
If we can work together,
we can throw
1360
01:08:33,155 --> 01:08:35,695
the best Christmas
Carnival ever.
1361
01:08:37,985 --> 01:08:39,817
Here's my plan...
1362
01:08:44,313 --> 01:08:48,519
As I told Mayor Greenwood,
I believe in Christmas miracles.
1363
01:08:48,602 --> 01:08:52,100
And I believe
in the Skating Oval...
1364
01:08:52,224 --> 01:08:56,055
its purpose as a gathering
place for public recreation,
1365
01:08:56,138 --> 01:08:57,928
its goal as the center‐piece
1366
01:08:58,053 --> 01:09:00,218
of the downtown
revitalization effort,
1367
01:09:00,343 --> 01:09:05,298
and its gift to
underprivileged children.
1368
01:09:05,422 --> 01:09:08,546
To see it close would
not only cost me my job,
1369
01:09:10,002 --> 01:09:11,544
but it would break my heart.
1370
01:09:13,167 --> 01:09:15,957
Which is why
1371
01:09:16,082 --> 01:09:18,913
I propose re‐dedicating
the Skating Oval
1372
01:09:18,996 --> 01:09:23,535
as a memorial in the name
of Sarah Tremblay
1373
01:09:23,618 --> 01:09:28,781
who tragically lost her life at
far too young an age to cancer.
1374
01:09:28,864 --> 01:09:30,904
Sarah was a native of our city
1375
01:09:31,029 --> 01:09:34,027
who loved the sport
of ice skating,
1376
01:09:34,151 --> 01:09:36,150
she was a young mother,
1377
01:09:36,234 --> 01:09:41,230
and she was the daughter
of our beloved Mayor
1378
01:09:41,355 --> 01:09:44,353
who has served this
city with distinction.
1379
01:09:49,474 --> 01:09:52,596
Thank you for considering
this proposal.
1380
01:10:17,952 --> 01:10:19,202
Well?
1381
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,490
That was quite
an impassioned plea.
1382
01:10:23,615 --> 01:10:25,447
It came from the heart.
1383
01:10:25,572 --> 01:10:27,488
I could tell.
1384
01:10:27,612 --> 01:10:28,694
Did they vote?
1385
01:10:28,777 --> 01:10:30,568
Yes, they did.
1386
01:10:31,859 --> 01:10:33,566
You're killing me
here, Mr. Mayor.
1387
01:10:33,691 --> 01:10:34,689
What did they say?
1388
01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:39,853
You have a lot of work to do.
1389
01:10:39,936 --> 01:10:41,727
They approved it.
1390
01:10:41,810 --> 01:10:43,309
They did?
1391
01:10:43,434 --> 01:10:44,765
Yes, they did.
1392
01:10:44,891 --> 01:10:47,015
Oh, thank you Mr. Greenwood.
1393
01:10:47,097 --> 01:10:50,220
No, thank you.
Please... call me Calvin.
1394
01:10:52,926 --> 01:10:54,426
This means so much.
1395
01:10:58,797 --> 01:10:59,921

Hi, Ompa! You're doing great!
1410
01:12:10,619 --> 01:12:12,243
Thank you, sweetheart.
1411
01:12:14,117 --> 01:12:16,008
I can't believe I haven't
ever skated out here before.
1412
01:12:16,032 --> 01:12:17,531
This wonderful.
1413
01:12:17,614 --> 01:12:19,196
Not bad, Huh?
1414
01:12:19,279 --> 01:12:21,860
Especially at Christmastime.
1415
01:12:28,481 --> 01:12:29,854
She's a keeper, Noah.
1416
01:12:32,686 --> 01:12:33,851
I know.
1417
01:12:35,518 --> 01:12:36,849
I want you to be happy.
1418
01:12:38,473 --> 01:12:41,180
Sarah will always be
with us in our hearts.
1419
01:12:42,887 --> 01:12:44,594
But I want you to be happy.
1420
01:12:49,548 --> 01:12:51,145
You don't know how
much that means to me.
1421
01:12:54,128 --> 01:12:56,543
This will be a wonderful way
to remember her.
1422
01:12:59,084 --> 01:13:02,373
Yeah, it certainly will.
1423
01:13:06,411 --> 01:13:07,409
(chuckles)
1424
01:13:21,733 --> 01:13:23,149
What do you think?
1425
01:13:23,273 --> 01:13:24,106
It's adorable!
1426
01:13:24,231 --> 01:13:26,313
You look beautiful, sweetheart.
1427
01:13:26,438 --> 01:13:28,603
I can't wait for
the show tomorrow!
1428
01:13:28,728 --> 01:13:30,893
You're going to be so great!
1429
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:35,431
Thank you.
1430
01:13:35,514 --> 01:13:37,472
Why are you thanking me?
1431
01:13:37,596 --> 01:13:39,280
You're the one that's
making Grace's Christmas.
1432
01:13:39,304 --> 01:13:40,927
I've never seen her this happy.
1433
01:13:41,011 --> 01:13:43,467
She is so excited,
and that costume is perfect.
1434
01:13:45,174 --> 01:13:48,464
But I wanted to thank you for
sharing this all this with me.
1435
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,377
It's our pleasure.
1436
01:13:51,461 --> 01:13:54,459
I mean, I have a gingerbread
person on your tree.
1437
01:13:56,291 --> 01:13:58,789
Yeah.
It kind of feels like
you belong there...
1438
01:13:59,996 --> 01:14:01,870
Like you belong here.
1439
01:14:03,077 --> 01:14:05,659
Honestly, I do feel
like I belong here.
1440
01:14:05,742 --> 01:14:07,949
I haven't been this happy
in a long time.
1441
01:14:09,281 --> 01:14:10,780
I'm glad.
1442
01:14:13,737 --> 01:14:14,943
Hey!
1443
01:14:15,068 --> 01:14:16,626
Can I have another
cup of hot chocolate?
1444
01:14:16,734 --> 01:14:19,024
Oh, yeah.
Of course you can, honey.
1445
01:14:19,065 --> 01:14:20,481
I'll get it! I'll get it.
1446
01:14:22,063 --> 01:14:23,562
With marshmallows, please.
1447
01:14:23,645 --> 01:14:24,520
‐Got it. ‐Yes, please.
1448
01:14:24,645 --> 01:14:25,893
Thanks, Courtney.
1449
01:14:26,019 --> 01:14:28,142
Okay Mom, I miss you too.
1450
01:14:28,267 --> 01:14:29,725
Give my love to Dad,
1451
01:14:29,850 --> 01:14:31,199
and tell him I'll
call Christmas morning...
1452
01:14:31,223 --> 01:14:33,887
Okay. Love you, too, bye.
1453
01:14:36,303 --> 01:14:38,592
Tough being away from home
for Christmas isn't it?
1454
01:14:38,676 --> 01:14:41,507
Yeah. Christmas is family time.
1455
01:14:41,632 --> 01:14:43,755
‐I really miss them. ‐Me, too.
1456
01:14:43,839 --> 01:14:46,129
But hey, we're like
family, right?
1457
01:14:46,170 --> 01:14:47,628
Yeah, we are.
1458
01:14:47,752 --> 01:14:48,960
Thank you so much.
1459
01:14:49,085 --> 01:14:50,477
I couldn't have done
this without you.
1460
01:14:50,501 --> 01:14:51,667
Ah, no, it was nothing.
1461
01:14:51,791 --> 01:14:53,456
And hey, I got you
a little something.
1462
01:14:53,581 --> 01:14:56,579
I got you a little
something, too,
but let's wait.
1463
01:14:56,663 --> 01:14:57,846
There's only two days
'til Christmas.
1464
01:14:57,870 --> 01:14:59,619
Nah, I want you to see this.
1465
01:14:59,703 --> 01:15:01,450
C'mon. Open it.
1466
01:15:01,534 --> 01:15:02,992
All right.
1467
01:15:08,779 --> 01:15:11,069
Oh my gosh, what?
1468
01:15:11,152 --> 01:15:12,567
How did you get it
printed so fast!?
1469
01:15:12,651 --> 01:15:13,809
My uncle pulled some strings.
1470
01:15:13,900 --> 01:15:16,398
It's an advance copy.
1471
01:15:16,523 --> 01:15:17,689
Doesn't it look great?
1472
01:15:17,772 --> 01:15:20,229
It looks amazing.
1473
01:15:20,312 --> 01:15:21,395
Congratulations!
1474
01:15:21,436 --> 01:15:23,060
Thanks.
1475
01:15:23,185 --> 01:15:26,848
And I'm serious about
donating the proceeds
to the rink.
1476
01:15:26,932 --> 01:15:28,847
Beth, that is too sweet,
1477
01:15:28,931 --> 01:15:31,679
but let's wait and
see what happens tonight.
1478
01:15:31,762 --> 01:15:33,261
Okay.
1479
01:16:03,529 --> 01:16:06,569
Three, two, one!
1480
01:16:06,694 --> 01:16:08,859
Merry Christmas!
1481
01:16:14,605 --> 01:16:15,914
I think I know you
from somewhere.
1482
01:16:15,938 --> 01:16:17,394
I think it's the nose.
1483
01:16:17,519 --> 01:16:19,809
‐Rudolph. ‐Oh, yeah!
1484
01:16:19,893 --> 01:16:21,142
Oh my goodness.
1485
01:16:21,226 --> 01:16:24,972

1486
01:16:32,467 --> 01:16:35,215

1487

(cheering)
1488
01:17:44,580 --> 01:17:46,328
Weren't they beautiful?
1489
01:17:46,412 --> 01:17:48,119
I know, right?
1490
01:17:48,202 --> 01:17:52,199
So many people came together
to make this evening possible.
1491
01:17:52,324 --> 01:17:53,699
First I'd like to thank
1492
01:17:53,823 --> 01:17:57,445
the hundreds of citizens
who sent me Christmas Cards.
1493
01:17:57,529 --> 01:18:00,277
What an outpouring of support.
Thank you.
1494
01:18:03,150 --> 01:18:05,565
And to our vendors and sponsors,
1495
01:18:05,648 --> 01:18:08,021
a heartfelt thanks to
each and every one of you.
1496
01:18:11,768 --> 01:18:16,099
And to the city council
who had the wisdom
1497
01:18:16,223 --> 01:18:18,763
to make this...
1498
01:18:18,847 --> 01:18:23,468
this magical Skating Oval
a memorial...
1499
01:18:23,593 --> 01:18:24,758
thank you.
1500
01:18:26,924 --> 01:18:30,130
But most of all,
I want to thank a woman
1501
01:18:30,255 --> 01:18:33,585
whose boundless energy
and enthusiasm,
1502
01:18:33,669 --> 01:18:37,125
whose tireless work
and dedication
1503
01:18:37,250 --> 01:18:39,705
and whose...
1504
01:18:39,831 --> 01:18:45,535
whose valuable
and thoughtful advice
1505
01:18:45,576 --> 01:18:47,700
made this whole
thing possible...
1506
01:18:48,616 --> 01:18:50,115
Courtney Bennett.
1507

(cheering)
1508
01:18:53,987 --> 01:18:56,652
Before I ask Courtney
to come out here,
1509
01:18:56,735 --> 01:18:58,172
I'd want to introduce
you to somebody
1510
01:18:58,234 --> 01:19:01,357
that most of you
probably already know.
1511
01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:03,688
Former Toronto Maple Leaf's star
1512
01:19:03,772 --> 01:19:06,977
and my son‐in‐law,
Noah Tremblay!
1513
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:09,725
Come on out here, Noah.
1514
01:19:21,009 --> 01:19:22,216
Noah Tremblay.
1515
01:19:27,004 --> 01:19:30,127
Thank you, Calvin.
1516
01:19:30,251 --> 01:19:33,957
What a a wonderful tribute
for the mayor's daughter...
1517
01:19:35,456 --> 01:19:38,454
and my wife, Sarah,
1518
01:19:38,579 --> 01:19:42,826
who we tragically
lost 5 years ago.
1519
01:19:42,950 --> 01:19:45,782
You know, Sarah, she loved
the sport of ice skating
1520
01:19:45,865 --> 01:19:48,613
and for our family
to know that this rink
1521
01:19:48,696 --> 01:19:51,778
will forever be known as
the Sarah Tremblay Skating Oval
1522
01:19:51,903 --> 01:19:55,941
is a tribute and an honor
beyond our wildest dreams.
1523
01:19:57,856 --> 01:19:59,334
Hey, Grace, you want
to come out here?
1524
01:20:04,102 --> 01:20:06,558
When I heard that we were
going to have this dedication
1525
01:20:06,641 --> 01:20:08,432
this Christmas,
1526
01:20:08,557 --> 01:20:11,513
I reached out to
some of my NHL alumni
1527
01:20:11,596 --> 01:20:14,719
and we pieced together
a little something.
1528
01:20:14,802 --> 01:20:15,843
Honey?
1529
01:20:24,129 --> 01:20:25,711
With this $100,000 donation,
1530
01:20:25,836 --> 01:20:27,418
I'd like to announce
the formation
1531
01:20:27,543 --> 01:20:29,059
of the Courtney Bennett
Scholarship fund
1532
01:20:29,083 --> 01:20:31,831
for the advancement of
youth skating in the city.
1533
01:20:31,914 --> 01:20:33,830
And if today's show
is any indication,
1534
01:20:33,913 --> 01:20:36,037
we are off to a great start!
1535
01:20:36,162 --> 01:20:38,868
(cheering)
1536
01:20:38,951 --> 01:20:40,991
Courtney is single‐handedly
responsible
1537
01:20:41,116 --> 01:20:42,698
for saving this rink
1538
01:20:42,823 --> 01:20:45,571
and has given of her time
and her talent
1539
01:20:45,696 --> 01:20:48,610
to help the youth of this
city for many, many years.
1540
01:20:48,694 --> 01:20:50,900
And we hope that with
this little kick start,
1541
01:20:51,026 --> 01:20:54,148
that she'll be able
to do that for many,
many more years to come.
1542
01:20:54,231 --> 01:20:57,687
Courtney, would you come out
here and join us on the ice?
1543
01:21:18,921 --> 01:21:20,753
This is truly
a Christmas miracle.
1544
01:21:20,878 --> 01:21:21,919
Thank you.
1545
01:21:21,961 --> 01:21:23,668
No, I should be thanking you.
1546
01:21:28,289 --> 01:21:30,038
Merry Christmas, Courtney.
1547
01:21:30,122 --> 01:21:32,577
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
1548
01:21:44,361 --> 01:21:45,527
Wow.
1549
01:21:46,442 --> 01:21:47,650
Wow.
1550
01:21:59,808 --> 01:22:02,014
I'm going to put it
right by my bed.
1551
01:22:03,138 --> 01:22:04,304
Thank you, Courtney.
1552
01:22:04,388 --> 01:22:06,095
I'm so glad you like it.
1553
01:22:08,718 --> 01:22:10,342
Can we roast some
marshmallows now?
1554
01:22:10,467 --> 01:22:13,173
Of course!
That's why we brought them!
1555
01:22:13,256 --> 01:22:14,422
Grab a stick.
1556
01:22:20,334 --> 01:22:22,832
This is the best Christmas ever.
1557
01:22:24,997 --> 01:22:27,870
You know, you're really
great with her.
1558
01:22:27,995 --> 01:22:31,451
She's such a sweet girl
it's not difficult.
1559
01:22:31,534 --> 01:22:35,822
This has also been my best
Christmas in a long time.
1560
01:22:35,906 --> 01:22:37,571
Mine, too.
1561
01:22:39,362 --> 01:22:40,903
And it's because of you.
1562
01:22:44,650 --> 01:22:47,272
You know, there's something
I wanted to do
1563
01:22:47,397 --> 01:22:49,188
with you out on that
stage yesterday,
1564
01:22:49,313 --> 01:22:51,770
that wasn't
appropriate in public.
1565
01:22:51,894 --> 01:22:53,101
Oh, yeah?
1566
01:22:53,185 --> 01:22:54,934
What was that?
1567
01:22:56,224 --> 01:22:57,681
This.
1568
01:23:08,341 --> 01:23:09,381
Merry Christmas.
1569
01:23:09,465 --> 01:23:11,130
Merry Christmas.
1570
01:23:12,837 --> 01:23:14,128
Let's do it.
1571
01:23:14,252 --> 01:23:15,793
‐Let's do it. ‐Let's do it.
1572
01:23:16,918 --> 01:23:18,416
How's the marshmallow?
1573
01:23:18,499 --> 01:23:20,415
Good. So good.
1574
01:23:22,122 --> 01:23:23,537
‐You want some? ‐Sure.
1575
01:23:28,075 --> 01:23:29,158
Really good.
1576
01:23:29,241 --> 01:23:30,158
You want a bite, Daddy?
1577
01:23:30,241 --> 01:23:31,365
Yes, please.
