* Good tidings for Christmas

[phone ringing]

What's up, Ella?

What's up? I'll tell you what's up.

You were supposed to be at my place for dinner last night.

That's what's up.

Really? I thought that was next Sunday.

No, it was last night.

We invited Tom's friend Paul, remember?

Ugh. The ventriloquist? The guy with the dummy?

He was really looking forward to meeting you.

Which one? The ventriloquist or the dummy?

You're so funny.

I'm sorry. I must've forgot.

You only hear what you want to hear

when you want to hear it. You drive me crazy.

I am trying to help, you know.

That's what sisters do for sisters who are...

- Workaholics? - I was gonna say spinsters,

but they both work.

I do appreciate your efforts on my behalf, I really do.

Look, I want you to check out this new website I heard about.

Ugh, please, not another dating site.

It's called MatchMe.com. The guy who designed it

is a mathematical genius or something.

According to the radio,

it's meant to be the next big thing in dating.

Do you believe everything you hear on the radio?

You do realize I work in advertising.

Mom, remind her about this afternoon.

Max wants me to remind you about this afternoon.

Afternoon?

Please don't tell me you've forgotten that, too.

No, of course not.

You're taking him to see Santa

because I'm volunteering at the soup kitchen.

Right!

I'll drop him at your office at 3:00.

3:00, Santa Claus. Got it.

* Can you feel the magic in the air *

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Hey, lady, how about it?

Hey, stop ringing that bell at me.

Do you know how annoying that is?

Yes, I do, but it got your attention, didn't it?

Yeah.

Hey, how much do you make

in, say, an hour's worth of ringing that bell?

I don't know. A couple of bucks.

Five dollars, maybe?

Yeah, sure, maybe.

You know, minimum wage is $8 an hour,

if you get where I'm going with this.

Listen, lady, I got a nighttime job.

I'm only volunteering here to help out, okay?

The money's not for me. It's for the needy.

Hmm. A volunteer. Well, that's different.

All right, I'll give you $5.00.

Stop ringing that bell for the next hour.

- Sheesh. - [ringing]

Can you hear me now? Ho ho ho!

Ho ho ho!

I will have a large.

Three shots today, extra strong and--

Hi. Your usual?

- Two, please. - Great.

Uh, excuse me, there's a line.

I know, but I'm running late today, so if you don't mind...

So I guess the rules just don't apply to you?

Uh, no, of course, they do, but I'm on my way to work.

Oh, like none of us have anywhere we need to be.

I'm sorry. I've upset you.

But you see, I'm an executive, and a lot of people depend on me

to be at a certain place at a certain time or it's chaos.

- But I'll go to the back. - No, no, no!

Since you're running late and you're a busy executive,

- I'll let you cut in front. - Great, thanks.

I'm gonna need to clear it with everyone else in line.

Uh, show of hands. Does anyone have a problem with--

What's your name?

Elizabeth.

With Elizabeth cutting in line in front of you?

Sorry.

Democracy rules.

Here you go.

You are a lifesaver.

You work at the Conroy ad agency, right?

I do.

I just graduated from NYU with a degree in advertising,

and I was wondering if you could maybe take a look at my resume.

You should really submit your resume to human resources

like everyone else does.

Time is money to me,

and I don't work in the employment department.

I'm vice president, so...

Oh. Sorry, I didn't know.

What I meant was, sure, of course. Why not?

Here's my card. E-mail me, and I'll see what I can do.

Really? That's so nice of you.

Don't mention it.

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Ho ho ho!

How about it, sir?

Spare a penny?

Hey, Santa, how's it going?

It's a little slow.

There's a lot of Scrooges out there this year.

I'll bet, but it's guys like you who are changing all that.

Well, I think people should try to care a little bit more.

You're preaching to the choir, Santa.

So how about it, huh?

Well, I'm starting a new job today.

Maybe this will bring me a little luck.

Well, I do know that will certainly bring good luck

to some unfortunate person.

Well, I sincerely hope so.

Well, thank you for your generosity, sir,

and taking the time out to listen to an old man.

Not a problem. And you are not an old man.

You're Santa Claus.

Ho ho ho! Good luck with your new job, sir!

Now, that's a nice man.

Ho ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Ho ho ho ho!

Well, when you consider the impact,

I'm sure that you're gonna see the market potential, yes.

I'd never steer you wrong, Scott.

You can thank me later.

Hey, give the kids a kiss from Uncle Bob.

Wait. Could you hold the door? Hold the door, please?

Yeah.

Got it.

Whoa! Aah!

Ugh!

Jerk.

Good morning, Elizabeth.

Morning, guys.

- You all right? - Fine.

You got a little something right there.

Morning, Liz!

Wait. What happened? Are you okay?

I had a little accident. Sorry.

Don't worry about it. There's a free cappuccino bar

set up in the break room.

- A free cappuccino bar, really? - Yeah.

Somebody paid for the whole thing.

How nice of them.

I printed everything up on the Strohman account,

just like you'd asked.

Oh, thanks, Kevin. Have we heard from Charles?

Mr. Conroy is waiting in his office.

Huh. Wonderful.

People, this company has suffered a serious setback.

But we've just had our best year ever.

Please. Strohman's Cookies?

Fiber Bites Cereal?

We just lost the Janus account to Rossmore Concepts,

our smallest competitor.

And they constituted 25% of our entire business.

25 percent!

Rossmore Concepts? That's impossible.

They don't have an original idea inside their entire building.

Well, I don't know how they did it, but they did.

Now, as your CFO, I am telling you we need new clients.

Clients with deep pockets. It's time to modernize.

Charles, did you know about this?

The company's been backsliding for a while now,

so we had to address this.

Elizabeth, the big ad agencies

aren't family businesses anymore.

They're conglomerates.

We're talking branding,

sales promotions, multimedia productions,

interactive marketing, all the...

You've got 10 days

before these offices close for the Christmas break.

We need to turn up the heat, fast.

A lot can happen in 10 days. What's the quota?

- Wow. - I've got some good news.

You can tell the board of directors that I have a plan.

- Really? A plan? - Yeah.

I'm bringing in someone to assist with our efforts.

That means you're spending more money.

What do you mean, assist?

He's one of the fastest-rising young executives

in our business.

He singlehandedly got the Carter Corporation account

for OmniPublic.

That was a $350 million deal.

Well, who is this miracle worker?

Robert?

Hey, Boss.

You.

Hi.

I'm sorry. I'm at a loss.

I can fix that, though. I'm Robert Morgan.

Elizabeth, Louis, I'd like you to meet

our newest team member Robert.

- How are you, sir? - Robert.

Charles, how could you do this without consulting me first?

This is my VP, Elizabeth Watson.

And thank you for the generous gift to the staff.

- It's very thoughtful. - It's my pleasure.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the opportunity to play.

I'm sure it's gonna be great. Cappuccino?

No, thanks. I'm already wearing one.

And no offense, but I am perfectly capable

of handling this situation on my own.

Cappuccino?

- Sure. - Sweetener?

- Sure. - I'm sure you can.

I just want to contribute however possible.

Charles, please.

Elizabeth, no one's doubting your talent or creativy.

It's just that Robert has... people skills.

People what?

Elizabeth, if you really want to succeed in this business,

you have to get the client to like you.

And to do that, you have to listen.

Listen to the client, listen to the marketplace.

I wasn't asking you.

Elizabeth, I'm told you were actually texting

while meeting with one of our clients.

Well, you know, with all the big deals I have spinning around,

I have to stay on top of things.

And besides, it was one of our small clients.

We don't have any small clients.

Thank you.

I understand.

And you know what?

I'm gonna reach the quota.

And I'm gonna do it without your help.

Okay. Well, if we're not gonna do it as teammates,

I'll just figure out another way.

You do that. And you know what?

I can't be bought for the price of a cappuccino!

Excuse me.

I think that went rather well.

Ah!

Oh! Are you okay?

Help me up.

Thank goodness those were iced cappuccinos.

Shut up with the cappuccinos already.

Sorry.

Your 3:00 is here, and it's 4:00.

4:00?

Oh, no.

* Whoo

I don't listen to people? I mean, can you believe it?

Me? What's that all about?

- I don't know. - Me neither.

I mean, I'm listening to you right now, aren't I?

I guess so, but I'm not really saying anything.

Well, that's just my point.

I can hear that you're not saying anything,

which proves I'm listening, right?

I think so.

- This place is so cool! - Mm-hmm.

Oh, I love that game!

I think you're supposed to turn here.

Oh, okay.

Hey, look!

Oh, I'm sorry, Max.

Mom said we had to be here by 4:30.

It's after 5:30 now.

I know. It's all my fault.

I guess I wasn't paying attention

when your mom told me about the time.

Maybe you don't really listen very good after all.

You think?

Hey, kid!

You missed out on seeing Santa.

- I guess so. - It's all my fault.

I was running late from work and--

And now he's gone for the rest of the day,

and you're in a real funk.

That about sums it up.

Maybe I can help.

Really? How?

You know, me and old Mr. C., we're just like that.

So tell you what, come on over here,

tell me what you want for Christmas,

and I'll make sure it gets passed on

all the way to the big guy.

Would you? Could you?

I can and I will.

Gee, that's great!

Come on over here and sit next to Calvin.

There we go.

Now, tell me, what would you like for Christmas?

Danger Dog action figure.

How original.

What's wrong with Danger Dog?

Look, if a magical elf came all the way down from the North Pole

and told me I could have anything I wanted,

I wouldn't waste it on a Danger Dog action figure.

All right then. How about a motorcycle?

Too late. You asked for Danger Dog.

Uh, we'll start with this.

And maybe, just maybe,

if you're a really good boy,

Santa will bring you the real thing on Christmas.

Thanks!

All right. Come on, sister, you're next.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm just-- I'm just here--

Come on over here. Take a load off.

I got a quota.

That's funny. I got a quota too.

Go on, Auntie Liz.

All right.

You know what I'm talking about.

Now, what can I get you for Christmas?

Oh, that's all right. I'm here for my nephew.

My sister's volunteering in a soup kitchen, so.

Soup kitchen?

Wow. She's a really caring person.

Oh, she is. She's very caring.

And I just messed up because I stayed late at work and--

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough.

There must be something you want for Christmas.

How about...

your own personal elf?

Okay, there's someone at work

that says I don't have any people skills,

that clients don't like me,

and I never listen to people.

Oh, so you want some rockin' people skills for Christmas.

Oh, no, that's not it.

I just want to prove to them how wrong they are about me.

Oh, so--

Excuse me, let me do the talking, all right, buddy?

Lay it on me.

I want to understand

what it is that people dislike about me.

I want to know what they're really thinking.

Oh.

That's a heavy responsibility.

Are you sure you're ready for that?

You're not gonna always like what people say.

Well, I thought I could ask for whatever I wanted.

It's not like you're gonna give it to me or anything.

Oh, that is so cheap-looking.

You're never gonna get any girls handing out stuff like that.

Please!

This pin is infused with the magic of Christmas.

The magic of Christmas? How does it work?

Oh, you wait till the stroke of midnight,

and then you look to the Christmas star,

and you make a wish.

Really?

Mm, no, not really.

It's a pin. You wear it.

Thanks, but it's not my style.

Take it.

I don't want it.

Take it. I have a quota.

And this is only for you.

Okay, fine, if it gets me out of here.

You do realize I've only just met you,

and I already dislike you.

Wow. Seriously?

You have no idea.

Oh, wow.

[scoffs] What do you know?

Come on, let's go.

You'd be surprised.

* I'm so sad this Christmas

* This lonely heart walks you around *

That's pretty cool.

And it wasn't even from Santa.

So I heard.

Guess you're pretty lucky that elf came along.

We were.

Sorry about that.

Show Mom what the elf gave you.

Oh, no, that's okay.

It's nothing, really.

Let's see it. Come on.

The height of fashion.

No, it's pretty.

You should wear it.

You think so?

No. I meant it's pretty hideous.

So cheap and gaudy looking.

If you don't like it, why don't you just say so?

Who says I don't like it?

I think it's gorgeous.

Oh. Okay.

And I have a big surprise for you. Paul?

Paul.

Hi.

Hi.

Now, Edgar, don't be rude.

Say hello to the pretty lady.

Hubba hubba hubba!

Edgar!

I'm really sorry. Boys will be boys.

Oh, dear.

Paul forgot his hat here last night

and just dropped by out of the blue to pick it up.

Isn't that great?

Now you two can have dinner together after all.

That is so great.

Wow. What a knockout body on that babe.

Wait, tha-- You're really good at that,

I didn't even see your lips move.

Oh... Mama's gonna need a Christmas miracle

if I'm gonna pull this one off by myself.

"Companies to target."

Any ideas, Bailey?

I didn't think so.

[phone chimes]

"Ella, I can't decide if you really love me

or you really hate me."

MatchMe.com.

"Tired of being alone?

We've got a patented mathematical method

to find you the love of your life."

Gimme a break. Mathematical?

Who writes their copy?

So what do you think, Bailey?

Am I that desperate that I need a website

to find the love of my life?

[Baliey whines]

Hmm, yeah, you're right.

Thank you, Santa, for bringing happiness

to the children of Mars.

And he Christmas spirit to all of us.

Sure. From the bottom of my heart,

I wish you and yours

the very best of everything.

Ho ho ho!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Captain Claus is here!

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!

[laughter]

All right, hope you're hungry, buddy.

[mumbles]

Did you just say something?

[growls]

Okay, no more all-nighters for me.

[mumbles]

Look, if you wanna say something, just say it.

Huh. That's what I thought.

- Wish me luck. - [mumbles]

[bell ringing]

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny!

Oh, great.

Here comes Miss Grumpy Pants.

Wait, what did you just call me?

What?

You just called me a name.

Don't tempt me, lady.

I didn't say anything, ma'am.

Would you like to make a donation?

Don't get greedy.

Ho ho ho!

Great. I was hoping I'd never have to run into her again.

Are you talking to me?

Hi, Elizabeth. Usual?

Are you really gonna cut the line again?

Um, no. I came in today

to tell you that I'm not cutting the line today.

I don't need any coffee, so there.

Ugh, get real.

Should I mention the resume?

Why didn't I ask if she got it?

Oh, your resume! I completely forgot.

But I promise I'll get to it ASAP.

Oh, I wasn't even gonna bring it up.

I know you're busy.

Yeah, busy making people miserable.

Hey, I'm working on that.

What? I--

Uh--

How weird was that?

See you tomorrow.

Wow. Where's she get that cheap, junky-looking pin?

Hey, Elizabeth. Coffee?

Uh, yeah. Thanks.

Man, she is looking hot today.

I wonder if she's into younger guys?

Just so you know, I'm barely 30.

You-- You look much younger.

You're darn right I do.

Wonder if he's into younger guys?

I'm glad you're here.

I thought maybe something had happened to you.

I just got caught up in a late show,

and I overslept.

She's probably nursing a hangover.

Thanks, Kevin. I'm fine.

- What? - Oh, you know what.

You know what? Just keep your thoughts to yourself.

Liz, are you okay? Are you having a migraine?

I'm not having a migraine! I'm not.

Sorry. I'm just... stressed.

Oh, not to add to it,

but Charles said he'd like an update on your new clients.

Okay, well, get the books.

I'm already on it. But are you?

Shouldn't you be leaving just now?

Right.

Oh, hey, there she is.

So, any progress?

Progress.

Clients?

The quotas.

Leads.

Oh, as a matter of fact, I have a couple of leads.

Hot ones. Hot.

Sure you do. You are so faking it.

I am not.

Excuse me?

She's having a migraine.

No, I told you I'm not having.

I'm not-- [laughs]

You said mi-- You--

Migraine.

I'm having a migraine. I need to sit down.

You're looking a little pale.

I have to go. I'm not feeling well.

But we have a lot of work to do.

I really want a latte, but my dietician would kill me.

The cashier is single.

Guess I 'll be spending another Christmas alone.

Next year will be different.

This brownie tastes like cardboard.

What am I gonna get her for Christmas?

[several people talking at once]

[talking stops]

It stopped.

I don't hear anything.

Maybe Kevin was right. It was just a migraine.

That or I'm going crazy.

What a lousy tip.

Maybe I can buy a stick of gum with it later.

[talking continues]

[talking stops]

What is going on?

[talking continues]

This isn't possible.

So you see, the naughtier you are,

the more of a reverse sort of energy field you can make.

So that's good, you know?

The naughtier, the better.

You! We need to talk.

Hold that thought.

Wait, so you're telling me that this pin

allows me to hear other people's thoughts?

Will you pipe down?

Do you know how much trouble I would be in

if the big guy heard that I gave a human magical powers

for Christmas?

[laughs]

This just keeps getting better and better.

So now you're telling me that you're a real elf,

like from the North Pole.

You want proof?

Here's proof.

Here.

This is Max's wish list.

I saw him give it to the mailman like 3 weeks ago.

How did you get this?

Okay, so let's just say, hypothetically,

you're a real elf.

Why would you give me a magical pin?

Because I thought, hypothetically,

that you being able to hear what other people were thinking

might give you a lesson in how to listen.

We're not always supposed to know

why things are the way they are.

If you want change,

you have to effect change from within yourself.

So true.

Good. Now can I have my pin back?

Oh, no, don't be silly. This thing is priceless.

I just have to learn how to use it and control it better.

Just shut out the voices I don't want to hear.

That's not exactly the lesson I wanted you to learn.

Maybe so, but a gift is a gift is a gift.

Thank you.

This is gonna be my ticket to the top.

- You wouldn't. - Oh, but I would.

Merry Christmas.

Cheaters never prosper.

Oh, don't worry.

I'm just gonna use it to become a better...

people person.

Oh, now I've really messed things up.

Tonight on Eye on Frisco,

we have a special guest in studio.

And, ladies, hang on to your hats on this one

because we have a mega action movie star,

not to mention a regular He-Man, Larry Eastwood.

Larry, thanks for dropping by.

Thanks, Biff. It's great to be here in the city by the bay.

After your last stinker,

I'm surprised they didn't dump you in the bay.

You are here to promote your new movie, Larry of Arabia,

which way hits theaters this weekend.

Gimme some details on that.

That's right, Biff, and I'm very happy to be engaging

in the type of film my fans have been requesting for years,

a nice, light romantic comedy.

And the ladies definitely line up

when Larry Eastwood puts a pic in the theaters.

Yeah, they line up to get their money back.

Well, you know, Biff, after the success of my first film,

Something About Larry,

I started getting into action films.

But now I feel like there's a new way to go.

I'm tired of all that gunplay, the gratuitous violence,

the fightings, the bloodshed.

But you had some success with the movie

you filmed last year in San Francisco.

What was that movie?

That's right. Dirty Larry broke box-office records.

Yeah, it broke the record for being

the worst film of the year.

Wow.

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen...

This thing is good.

Larry Eastwood, it's a pleasure to see you in the studio.

Thanks, Biff, my pleasure.

Robert Morgan, you're never gonna know what hit you.

[chime]

MatchMe.com?

Ella, you don't know when to give up, do you?

Bailey, Mama's gonna be back later tonight.

And if all goes well, I'm gonna get you a big juicy steak.

[woof]

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[whines]

Ho ho ho!

Spare a penny, help the homeless!

Ho ho ho!

- Spare a penny, he-- - Morning, Santa!

You again. Here comes another lecture.

Good morning, miss.

Here you go.

Have a good one.

Wow. Wonder what got into her? Oy vey!

Double espresso no-foam latte, just the way you like it.

Go on, bring it up. You have to ask her.

Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to get to your resume yet.

Yesterday was a little crazy, but I promise I'll look at it

as soon as I can.

Don't worry.

If you're too busy, I understand.

Why did I just say that?

I'm such an idiot.

Nonsense. A promise is a promise.

Morning.

Please just stay away from me.

There she is. Just the person I was looking for.

Hey, Elizabeth.

You know, we haven't had a chance to talk

since Robert came onboard.

So how are you holding up?

I know she's a hard worker.

I just need to make sure the company's in good hands.

Actually, things are looking up,

and I think I'm gonna make our quota without any difficulty.

Oh, I wish I believed her.

That's good news.

Don't worry. Things are about to change.

If you want change, you have to effect change.

My dad used to say that all the time.

So true.

I ever tell you that my father wanted to give this business

to my Uncle Jake and not to me?

No.

He wanted me to be a priest.

- Can you imagine that? - No.

Me neither, but I promised him I could handle it,

and this company would always be in good hands.

It is in good hands.

Then why am I so worried?

Don't be.

I'm gonna turn things around.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

The way you say that, I almost believe you.

You can.

Listen, can you meet me and Robert in my office

- in 10 minutes? - Certainly.

Great. I'll see you up there.

Morning, boys!

Oh, and, Philip, I'm afraid he's not your type.

What?

Dude, what's she talking about?

I-I don't know.

No need to get the straitjacket.

All I needed was a good night's sleep.

Any messages?

Yeah, your sister called.

She wanted to know if you got her text message

about that MatchMe.com website.

Ugh. Unfortunately, yes.

Oh, and there's a resume in my inbox

from a recent graduate named Jenny.

Make sure it gets to human resources.

Absolutely.

Oh, yeah, and then she said-- Yeah.

- Great time. - Morning, Robert.

Hey, good morning.

Feeling better?

Much, thanks.

You look like a million bucks today.

Well, first of all,

I'd like to apologize for my behavior yesterday.

I had a severe migraine.

I'm sorry about that.

Now where are we on meeting our quota?

Well, I was just thinking about that, actually.

Actually, over at OmniPublic,

we had been looking at pharmaceuticals.

A lot of really strong firms coming into play right now.

If you look, especially just turn to page 47...

Medical companies are so unpredictable.

Of course, uh, pharmaceuticals can be very unpredictable.

Unpredictable.

And if the board is already nervous,

then we might want to go with something a little more firm.

Not bad. Maybe something in tech.

Something a little more firm.

I was thinking something in the technology sector.

Uh, maybe dot-coms?

We'd have to make sure there isn't another bubble.

That was a disaster.

Now, I know that the tech bubble hit hard,

but a lot of these companies have found their footing now.

In fact, there are a lot of opportunities

in some smaller firms.

She's actually not bad. Beauty and brains.

So could you do some research on those firms

and give us some revenue reports?

Of course.

You know...

if you were to choose a whale,

a company that stands out from all the other startups,

one company,

what would you choose?

Well, um, uh...

Uh-oh! Busted.

How about, um...

MatchMe.com?

The online dating site?

Why didn't I think of that? I'm even a member.

You are? You?

Uh, what?

Well, it's not just a dating site.

My research shows me that, um,

it actually is...

a very, um, advanced way of...

matching people together, yeah.

She doesn't know what it's about at all.

Be more specific. Tell me exactly how it works.

Well, it's all very scientific, really.

Um, they use advanced algorithms

to pair people based on compatibility and...

Interests, occupation, education.

Interests, occupation, education.

Whoa, that was spooky.

How many members do they have?

Oh, a million or...

Try 10 million.

Ten million, actually.

10 or even 11,

give or take a few lonely-hearts.

Robert, didn't you say

that you were a member of MatchMe?

I've heard of them, but who hasn't?

I like this, Elizabeth, I like this idea a lot.

And when I land them as a client,

it'll be bigger than the Janus account.

Go!

Get out there! Make it happen!

Sorry to interrupt your pharmaceutical thing.

Your instincts are uncanny, Elizabeth.

I may have misjudged you.

Well, it's all in the research.

I'll bet.

So how did you know that I was on that site?

Didn't you mention it?

Nope, never mentioned it to anyone.

Huh. Lucky mistake, I guess.

Hmm.

Could she be spying on me?

Nah.

Tonight on Eye on Frisco,

we have a special guest in the studio, Kroeger Johnson.

Of course, Kroeger from Kroeger, Nash, and Barnholtz.

He'll be performing at Pier 87 New Year's Eve.

Kroeger, welcome to the show.

Peace out, brother.

Does this guy even know where he is right now?

[laughs]

I understand you'll be performing all of your big hits

from the '60s and early '70s at the show, correct?

That is, if you can remember the words.

[laughs]

I-I think that's right, yeah.

Fantastic. Can't wait.

I can't wait to get the hell out of here.

[laughs]

Is that New Year's Eve?

Kroeger, New Year's Eve is next weekend.

Oh!

Maybe I should come back then.

Please don't.

This is the best show ever.

All right, Kevin,

let's see if we can't beat Robert Morgan at his own game.

I've made a list of all up-and-coming tech firms

and dot-coms in the city.

- Let's set up meetings. - Sure.

Call MatchMe and set up a meet-and-greet.

I want to sign them before Robert Morgan does.

I'll track down their number.

Great.

Okay, let's see what you can really do.

Now if I'm right, I'm sensing hesitation about effectiveness.

I can offer your site an accumulative audience

across the board.

I'd say it's like you're reading my mind.

Deal.

Ms. Watson, you have an uncanny ability

to know the answers to all my questions

even before I ask them.

I try.

You strike me as someone probably concerned with value.

What would you say about a flat rate with a forced combination?

I would say we both think alike.

I'm guessing you might be interested in a broader target

than the other guys are offering.

Have you ever thought about a scatter package?

It's amazing.

You seem to know exactly what I like.

Well, thank you, Mr. Carter.

And yes, I'm a natural blonde.

I'd like to get my hands on that.

Shame on you, Mr. Carter!

What?

It's amazing, Liz.

It's like you were in tune to exactly what they needed.

I try.

Five clients? Not only is she beautiful,

but she's got the magic touch as well.

You're darn right I do.

She's on fire.

Louis, heard you wanted to see me.

Yeah, come on, sit down.

Are you sure this is a good time?

You look a little occupied.

"Worried" is the proper term, and who wouldn't be?

I have a lot to be worried about.

Well, I hope that I can alleviate some of that.

Yeah.

That's what concerns me.

What do you mean?

Robert, you have a sterling reputation.

Real go-getter.

As Charles pointed out, you're a people person.

- I like to think so. - Yeah, and yet,

here you are, just a few days before Christmas,

available to drop in on a moment's notice

and save the day.

Why is that?

Why is what?

Why is it that a guy like you,

with everything you've accomplished,

needs a job at Christmastime?

Well, let's just say that I'm not perfect.

No!

Yes, I have helped some companies,

but I haven't always made everyone happy doing it.

I think you just lost me.

I tend to be too honest,

or at times, too honest too quickly.

Ah. Meaning you get the job done,

but you ruffle a few corporate feathers along the way.

Yeah, some people think that I make them look bad.

I'm trying to work on that.

That's why I don't wanna step on Elizabeth's toes.

I'm trying to get her to like me,

if that is at all possible.

Well, she is one tough cookie,

but at her core, she's actually a very sweet girl.

Maybe a little bit of a loner,

but I think you could win her over.

Just don't be too aggressive.

Hang around the edges, work your magic from over there.

You think so?

Well, it depends on how badly you want her to like you,

if you catch my drift.

I do.

- Uh-huh. - Appreciate the advice.

It'll cost you.

What do you got for me, Tom?

Ah, there it is. Thank you, sir.

- Oh, hey, Elizabeth. - Hey, Robert.

Uh, productive day for you.

Um, any luck with MatchMe.com?

I've left a couple of messages for the CEO.

So I was thinking that, you know, if we teamed up,

we would be, like, stronger.

Oh, no.

- I'm not falling for that. - Not falling for what?

Look, I know that this whole thing is just one big conquest

for you and your ego,

but this company, these people, are important to me.

Elizabeth, I don't know what you think that you know about me

or what you've heard, but you've got me all wrong.

Not everything that I do has an ulterior motive.

Aha, but some of it does.

Okay, all right.

You've done a pretty good job of reading my mind so far.

What am I thinking now?

How about having lunch with me?

Um, you're thinking... about filling the quota.

Hmm. And?

And I think that you and I should have lunch tomorrow.

Lunch tomorrow. That's a great idea.

I know!

Anything but fish.

How about seafood?

Great, sure.

Seafood tomorrow, good.

Tomorrow, 1:00.

Excellent. Uh, hey, Tom.

Did I just hear that someone

is going to have lunch with Robert Morgan?

Well, you just heard him.

We're stronger if we work together.

So it's strictly work? There's absolutely nothing else?

Me and Robert? No way.

Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah, she likes him.

ed by Mindy Barkett.

She is a candidate in the upcoming spring elections.

Mindy, welcome to the show.

Glad to get the word out, Biff.

I am not getting paid enough for this.

Mindy, I understand you are way ahead in the early polls

amongst voters in your target demographic.

Is this true?

That's what my figures say, Biff.

I think your figure says a lot more than that, baby. Wow!

What exactly is your target demographic?

Oh, cats.

Cats.

Cats and other disadvantaged animals.

Mindy, cats can't vote.

Well, that's what I'm trying to change, Biff.

Please shoot me now. Someone.

Don't worry, Bailey. It'll never happen.

And even if it did, how many cats you know

that are old enough to vote?

Exactly.

* Oh, the countdown's on

* Just a few more days till Christmas comes *

* Gotta decorate Got shopping left to do *

Okay.

Hold still, honey.

It's too itchy!

Hey, listen, if you wanna be a Christmas tree,

then you gotta make some sacrifices, mister.

But it's itchy.

Oh. Sorry, honey.

How's that?

All right, I guess.

[phone ringing]

Hi, Ella.

Hey, I just wanted to remind you about tonight.

Tonight.

Max's show, 8:00.

Oh, right.

Come on, Elizabeth, you promised you'd be there.

And I will.

Sounds like you're in a car. Where you off to?

Lunch with the infamous Robert Morgan.

The guy from the office you don't like?

You know what they say, keep your enemies closer.

Didn't you tell me he had a nice smile?

I said his bright smile made me sick.

There's a difference.

- Uh-huh. - Goodbye, Ella.

See you tonight. Don't blow it.

Very good.

[bells ringing]

So five clients. Wow.

You didn't think I could do it.

- I did not say that. - But you were thinking it.

You just seemed so uncomfortable with the quota, I thought that--

Look at you now.

The magic of Christmas.

I could use a little bit of that magic.

Mmm! All right, so I gotta ask.

Being as you are the MatchMe expert of the office--

Oh, boy, here we go.

I'm wondering, does it really work?

Are you thinking about signing up?

Well, my sister's threatening to stage an intervention on me

if I don't.

Oh, well.

Okay, uh, I have gone out with a few women.

I've had a few drinks, but, uh,

nothing's really stood out for me.

I can get you the full report. I'll even CC your sister.

Wow. Robert Morgan on a dating site.

Why is that so hard to believe?

Well, you just seem so confident, so put-together.

Whoa. Wait a minute.

In a business way.

So what do you think,

that women would just throw themselves at me?

Something like that.

I wish someone like you would.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

This is so cute.

He likes her, she likes him.

Excuse me. We're having a private conversation here.

So what, you don't think

there's a perfect person out there for you?

I think relationships are like business deals.

Everyone has their own best interests at heart,

and then when the business gets bad, they sell.

Uh-oh. Sounds like she's been burned before.

That's one way of looking at it.

That's just how I see it.

I think that it is entirely possible

that two people who march to the beat of the same drum,

who complete each other's sentences,

and who just look at each other

and know exactly what the other person's thinking.

How romantic.

Guess I'm a little gun-shy.

Maybe I could change the way you see things.

I understand.

[phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Hi.

I just got a call back from MatchMe.

And?

They're having a fundraiser tonight,

and the CEO, Mr. Korzo,

seemed open to meeting you.

- Great! - It's at 7:00.

They put your name on the list.

7:00. 7:00 tonight?

I-I can't.

What do you mean? I thought this was the big client.

No, I have that thing at 8:00. My nephew's play, remember?

Korzo's leaving town the night of the 24th.

If you don't do this now,

you won't get another shot at him until after the 1st.

I know, but...

Look, just stop by, say hi,

and then go to the play.

All right, tell him I'll be there.

Great.

Oh, so did you land another big client?

One can only hope.

Well, I would like to propose a toast.

Ah.

To Elizabeth Watson,

the...

[clears throat]

hardest working...

and most interesting woman in advertising.

Thank you.

[gasps]

Robert, is anything wrong?

[pants] I'm fine.

There must've been anchovies in the salad dressing.

Are you allergic to fish?

No, I'm fine.

Check, please.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were allergic to seafood.

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

I just thought you didn't like fish.

- This is my fault. - I'm okay, I'm okay.

You sure there's nothing that I can do to make this up to you?

It's just a little rash. I'm okay, I'm fine.

Are you going up?

No. I'm gonna get some fresh air.

Oh, hey, Robert.

- Hi. - How was lunch?

Oh, lunch was great. Thanks for asking.

Whoa! Dude, what in the world happened to you?

What, this?

Oh, I've got a little seafood allergy.

It'll be gone in an hour.

Whoa. Who knew?

Well, it's not something to brag about.

Robert, if you're allergic to seafood,

then why did you choose that retaurant?

Oh, I didn't. Liz did.

I thought I could just order the salad and get away with it,

but I must've gotten tripped up on the Caesar dressing.

- Anchovies. - Right.

I'm sure if she knew, she would've--

Oh, yeah, exactly.

But I just-- Every time I feel like she's warming up to me,

something weird happens.

I'm trying to help her, I'm trying to help the company,

and something keeps getting in the way.

Capuccino?

Exactly.

Hey, do you think it would help

if I asked her out for dinner tonight?

No! No, no, no. I don't-- She's busy.

What's she doing?

Um, you know,

just, uh, Christmas stuff.

She going to the MatchMe.com party?

No, no, she's not.

How do you know about that party?

I didn't, but say no more.

I didn't say anything.

- I know. Thank you. - [phone ringing]

I gotta go.

[chuckling]

* Ooh

* Yeah, yeah

* It's the time of the year

* When the church bells ring

* Magic's in the air

* And the children sing

Okay, you can do this.

Just walk in, say hi.

Calvin, work your magic.

Okay.

You must be Elizabeth Watson.

I'm Allie, Mr. Korzo's assistant.

Hi, Allie, nice to meet you.

He's tied up at the moment,

but he's hoping you'll be able to stick around for a while.

Sure.

So, what are you guys raising money for?

It's called Sarah's Dance.

It's a children's charity named after his daughter,

and it's very special to him.

How wonderful.

I'll let him know you're here. Excuse me.

Okay.

Oh, boy.

Okay, come on, come on, come on.

I wonder which one is Korzo.

What are you doing here?

I don't know, I thought maybe you could use a little backup.

I see your rash has gone down.

I'm trying to impress her, and that had to happen.

It was actually quite mild.

It went away very nicely, thank you.

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

I'm fine, I'm okay.

What say we work together, reel him in, and save the day?

Like I said, I'm a one-woman show.

Okay, what is it about me that makes you so dubious?

Is it my hair?

- And your teeth. - And my teeth!

Well, that's great. Well, they're both fake.

The teeth and my hair, they're both fake.

Okay, she just smiled. Maybe this is gonna work out.

Do you have somewhere you need to be?

Why do you ask?

Maybe I should invite her to dinner after this.

I thought you were checking your watch.

Uh, my nephew has a play at 8:00.

Will you excuse me for just a moment?

Sure.

Barkeep?

* Merry Christmas

* Christmas, baby

* Merry Christmas, baby

I take it Korzo hasn't shown his face yet.

You would take that correctly.

Get you a drink?

Ah, I think I'm out of time.

Come on, get up some nerve, ask her out.

- Huh? - What?

I wonder if she'd be my date to the company Christmas party.

Um, it looked like you were about to,

you know, maybe...

Were you gonna ask me something?

[chuckles] Yes, yes, I was.

I was thinking that, maybe when all this blows over,

that you and I could, um,

I don't know...

Yes?

Robert, Elizabeth,

I'd like you to meet Mr. Drew Korzo.

Oh, boy.

Well, well, the wicked witch of the coffee shop.

Oh, you guys know each other.

Well, isn't this interesting.

We had a little misunderstanding.

Great, what a night. I didn't make enough money

to raise my goal, and now this woman.

Robert, I'd be happy to listen to anything you have to say,

but not as long as she's involved.

Mr. Korzo, please don't let what happened between you and I

get in the way of something that could be very beneficial

for your company.

Goodbye.

I'm afraid Mr. Korzo would like you to leave.

If I could just have a moment--

Now.

Great.

* I'm so sad this Christmas

How are you?

So nice to see you again. Hey, so nice to see you.

Thank you so much for that donation.

I really, really appreciate it.

I hope you're having a good night.

See you soon.

Mr. Korzo.

Uh, Robert, is it?

It is. I think we may have gotten off the wrong foot,

and I was wondering if we could maybe talk about that.

Where's your friend?

She left.

Her nephew had a Christmas play across town at 8:00.

Oh. Good luck in making that. It is well past 8:00 now.

Well, I think that's how important this was to her.

It's more of an indication how she puts her own interests

in front of everyone else around her.

That's a little harsh, don't you think, but...

Accurate. Did you know that I see her

almost every morning at the coffee shop?

- I didn't. - Oh, yeah, we're old pals.

She cuts in front of the line every time I see her.

You know, and it's--

it's always the same excuse:

She's very busy and very important.

I can't be in business with someone like that.

See, my whole life, my business,

MatchMe.com, my charity,

it's all about giving of yourself.

Giving back, giving unselfishly.

Well, maybe you're not giving Liz a chance.

I don't have to give her a chance.

This is my party.

But you haven't even heard her ideas.

I know, but what could she possibly tell me

on how you reach out and help those

who are trying to find their one true soulmate?

See, Robert,

her type... never listens.

And if you don't listen,

you'll never hear the heartbeat

of the one that can bring you true happiness.

That's a great campaign right there.

It's yours if you want it.

Just not with her.

I understand.

But I can't cut the line in front of Liz.

I guess that's the point, isn't it?

Indeed.

So, I guess we're done here then, right?

Guess so.

Thank you.

All right.

That was the best performance by a Christmas tree

that I've ever seen.

I wasn't scared at all, Dad.

That was one of the other trees out there shaking like a leaf.

I know. You were really good out there.

Steady as a mighty pine.

I didn't even move a branch.

You were perfect.

Now, if we can just get your father

to bring the car around front.

All right. Be outside in two minutes.

- We'll meet you at the curb. - Okay.

Where's Aunt Elizabeth? I didn't see her.

She said she would be here.

I know she did,

but something really important came up,

and she just couldn't make it.

Oh. What was it?

I think she said she was having a special meeting

with Santa Claus himself.

- Really? - Yeah.

She just wanted to make sure he had your list,

since you guys missed seeing him the other day.

Wow! Isn't Aunt Elizabeth the greatest?

She sure is.

Come on. Let's go wait for Daddy.

I've really messed everything up, haven't I, Bailey?

First Ella, Max, and now Robert.

Call me crazy, but I really felt something special tonight.

Something good.

I just don't know if I deserve it.

You think it's too late to fix everything?

It's never too late to change...

if that's what you really want.

Yeah, but I'm afraid the damage is already done.

I know what you mean,

but it's not like you caused a major catastrophe.

All your troubles are manageable.

It will, however, require you to hear and see things differently.

I'm trying,

but this thing isn't making it any easier.

You'd think with this kind of power

that my life would be running as smooth as silk,

but it's not.

I tried to warn you.

Are you ready to give the pin back now?

Not quite yet.

Ugh! You're killing me, babe!

You know what I'm thinking, baby?

You know what I'm thinking?

- Should I mention the resume? - Oh, her again.

Now where are we on meeting our quota?

You're so faking it.

That's a heavy responsibility. You sure you're ready for that?

- You know what I'm thinking? - Mention the resume?

- Her again. - Meeting our quota.

- You're so faking it. - Heavy responsibility.

Thinking... Resume... Her again... Quota.

Faking it... Responsibility...

[gasps]

[panting]

This has to stop.

How'd it go?

Let's just say that Liz doesn't have as many friends

at MatchMe.com as we had hoped.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

Yup. The guy who runs the company,

Liz has been rude to him on more than one occasion.

Imagine that.

Go figure. I went back over to him,

I tried to patch things up, but he wasn't having it.

So... no interest at all.

Oh, he's interested, and he'll listen,

but I would have to dump Liz,

and I... am not doing it.

Thanks for that.

Maybe it'll all turn around.

Maybe.

Just not sure how.

Hope it does.

Yeah.

Elizabeth, come in.

- First, let me explain. - We heard what happened.

Before you say anything, I just want to say that--

I know, I know, you did your best,

and it's not your fault, I get it.

It's true that MatchMe would've put our company back on top,

but it's not always about that.

You know, when my grandfather founded this company,

it was just he and his son, my dad,

and my grandmother would come in and cover the phones,

but it was just them.

They didn't have a board of directors or a CFO,

but they always listened to their clients

and heard what they needed.

They made something really special here,

something that has endured to this day.

I can turn MatchMe around. I know it.

It's too late.

It's not!

It'll be a heck of a Christmas party this year.

We can win this client.

If that means rolling up my sleeves with Robert, so be it.

Wow. That is quite a sacrifice you're willing to make.

I would've thought you two would've got it together by now.

You guys could've been a force to be reckoned with, Elizabeth.

If we don't kill each other first.

Got it.

Excuse me, do you know where Elizabeth Watson is?

Thank you.

Any luck?

As soon as I said I was from the Conroy Agency, she hung up.

They also said a few choice words first,

but that's besides the point.

You know, Korzo humiliated you

right in front of everyone at the party,

but you got to bounce back.

If there's anyone who can fix this, it's you.

That's sweet, but it's gonna take

more than a little holiday magic to pull this one off.

Elizabeth, let me help you.

[knocking]

Jenny from the coffee shop.

Hi. I just came in for my interview,

and I wanted to stop by and say thank you.

Jenny just graduated from NYU with a degree in advertising.

She's applied for a position here.

Wow. Great.

- What are you working on? - [chuckles]

Well, remember that guy from the coffee shop

that got angry at me for kinda sorta cutting in line?

- Yeah. - Well, it turns out

he runs this company that we're trying to land.

And they won't return our calls.

He's holding a grudge.

I'd love a chance to help out and prove myself.

Any thoughts?

I'm sure you've already apologized, right?

I would if he'd listen. If only.

Then you'll have to find a way

to make it impossible for him to ignore you.

Such as?

Find something he wants.

But what could we possibly offer him that he couldn't refuse?

I don't know.

His charity.

- His charity? - The fundraiser the other night

didn't raise enough money to reach his goal.

It didn't? How did you know that?

That's not important.

But suppose we were to help fill in the gap?

That would get his attention.

I'll tell Charles to change the Christmas party

into a fundraiser for Korzo's charity.

And then he'll have to hear our pitch.

- Perfect! - Exactly!

That's amazing! I knew you'd think of something.

Jenny, thank you.

You're gonna make a great member of this team.

Hi. Get me MatchMe.com, please?

Thanks, Jenny.

[phone ringing]

Drew Korzo's office.

Hi. Elizabeth Watson from the Conroy Agency.

I already told you, he's not interested.

Actually, I'm calling about Sarah's Dance.

[scoffs] You have two minutes.

Here's what I had in mind.

Girl, I like the way you're thinking.

All right, let's cover all the radio, television, online.

Dinner is served.

Ah, what has the chef prepared this evening?

We have got...

Mmm! Flat noodles in orange sauce.

How Christmassy.

Kevin, why don't you go home and get some sleep?

We're good. I've got a lot of work to do.

No, it's-- it's late. It's fine.

You sure?

Yeah, we got this.

Okay.

Kevin, for the road?

Oh, you're awesome.

All right, then.

All right, let me see it.

I've been working on it all day.

So what do you think?

I don't know if I should be honest.

I know how hard she's worked on this.

Please be honest.

Everything needs to be perfect for tomorrow.

Okay.

I think it's missing something.

What do you mean?

It's just a little too on the surface.

Superficial?

No, not superficial. Maybe something softer.

I've really been listening, more than you know,

and I think this is in tune with what the people want to see.

And I think that that's the problem.

I think it is exactly what people want to see.

I think it is exactly what people will be expecting.

Well, and that's a bad thing?

Yeah, if they don't connect to it.

Liz, where's the risk? Where's the heart?

The heart?

[sighs]

Look, in these few days that I've known you,

I have seen you open up

and connect with so many people around you.

And I want to see that in this campaign.

I want to see that mysterious glint in your eye,

that amazing smile that I saw last night,

that personality that comes out.

Put that into the campaign. It's wonderful.

Just be yourself.

[sighs] That's the problem.

It's not me.

What do you mean, it's not you?

I've been cheating.

What do you mean, you've been cheating?

You're gonna think I'm crazy.

You want exactly what I want. At least I think you do.

We just have get through this one roadblock.

And as far as the crazy thing,

I'm not gonna let you off the hook that easy, migraine girl.

Calvin the elf gave me a magic pin

that lets me hear what other people are thinking.

- Calvin the elf? - No, I'm being serious.

It's how I knew that Drew hadn't met his goal,

how I knew Charles didn't like your pharmaceuticals pitch.

I think you might be a little tired, Liz.

It's how I knew you were on MatchMe.

I'm sorry. What are you talking about?

What are you doing?

You know what? I'm telling you the truth.

Without this pin, I'm nothing but the real me.

Is that so bad?

You just said it yourself.

There's no connection, no risk, no heart.

At Drew Korzo's party last night,

for just a moment,

you were thinking of asking me out.

How'd you know that?

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

I could read your mind.

Look, I don't know what this is,

but I need to get some fresh air.

Robert, what about the pitch, the quota?

Quota? Liz, there's only one prospect

I really wanted to win over,

but I guess you already knew that.

Robert, wait, wait.

Robert.

[door closes]

[bell ringing]

* Promises, promises

* Hope's gonna find me

* When it feels like the opposite *

* You're there to remind me

Rough night?

I lost a big account.

I let my family down,

my company down.

And all I have to show for it is this empty glass.

It's Christmas.

Don't you believe in holiday magic?

Trust me, it ain't enough.

You're far too young to be giving up.

When you get to be my age, then we can talk.

Thanks, Joe.

Yeah, see you tomorrow, Sam.

What do you want?

Ella, you have every right to be mad at me,

but I really need someone to talk to.

Look, Liz, I'm not as mad at you as I am disappointed.

And you don't need someone to talk to.

You need someone to talk at.

I'm really sorry for being late for the play.

Late? You missed the entire thing.

Nothing seems to matter to you anymore.

I just don't understand you.

I'm trying to change.

I really am, okay?

Well, you're doing a lousy job of it.

Good night.

Who was that?

Nobody.

Okay.

Hey, this is Robert.

Leave a message, and I'll call you back.

At the tone, please record your message.

What a mess you've made of things!

You!

I thought you said I could change.

And you have!

Some change.

I mean, look at me. I'm a wreck.

My life's a wreck,

and everyone I care about hates me.

You can turn it all around. You've already started.

You just don't realize it.

First thing you need to do is give up that pin.

It was never really your friend to begin with.

Oh, all right.

You win.

Yes!

Now, on your own merits,

I want you to go out there

and take hold of what you really want in life.

Grab the bull by the horns and don't let go.

With my luck, the bull will probably drag me to death.

Trust me this one last time.

I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

- Hey. - Hey.

Mr. Korzo just arrived with his daughter.

Good. Have you seen Robert?

Hey, don't worry. You're gonna be great.

You don't need him.

Gosh, why are they all sitting down?

That's a bad sign.

God, I wish I knew what he was thinking.

Guess I'll never know.

Is that so bad?

[phone ringing]

It's Charles.

Hi, Charles. It's almost time for the pitch.

I've decided to let you carry the ball alone on this event.

What?

Yeah, you planned it. It's your baby.

I think you and Robert can handle it without me.

Uh, well, Robert and I--

I don't wanna hear another word about it.

You said you could turn this around,

and now it's your time to prove it.

I'm just gonna hang back and let you do your thing.

It's gonna be fine.

I wish I was as confident as you think I am.

Just follow your heart, Elizabeth.

And don't blow it.

Well, it looks like we're on our own.

Look, you're gonna be fine, okay?

[tapping microphone]

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have your attention, please?

I'd like to begin by thanking Sarah

for allowing The Conroy Agency to host this party

in honor of the charity that bears her name.

Now I know it's not normal

to start a pitch off with an apology,

but there are people here that I need to apologize to.

Mr. Korzo, I can only imagine what you thought of me

that day we met in the coffee shop.

If I'd taken the time to listen to you,

I would've seen earlier

the amazng work of your charity, Sarah's Dance.

I shouldn't have behaved like that.

I'm sorry.

Robert, I should've given you more credit.

But to be honest,

when you came onboard, I felt threatened.

Conroy might not be the biggest agency around,

but it's the best.

And it's the best because at its heart,

it's the same company it's always been,

started by a very smart man many years ago

and run by that same man's grandson today.

It's not about multinational conglomerates

or 10-digit accounts.

It's about people,

what they think, what they want,

and how they feel.

Mr. Korzo, I was the type of person

who spent my free time alone,

working, trying to get ahead.

My career came first, before friends,

before family, before love.

That's why I didn't believe in the concept of MatchMe.com,

a website that claimed to have a mathematical formula

to help you find your soulmate?

I thought that was absurd.

But that's the thing about love.

Sometimes you have to go to the ends of the earth,

sometimes you need a website,

and sometimes you just need to bump into someone

on the way to work.

My match was staring at me in the face,

and I didn't even see him.

I'm sorry, Robert.

I learned that sometimes you have to stop and listen.

You have to open yourself up to people.

And that's what MatchMe.com did for me.

It showed me that you have to trust the facts

that are in front of you.

It helped me listen.

I'm just a regular girl telling you her story,

and maybe, just maybe,

for those of you out there who are searching,

it'll help you find your soulmate.

Thank you.

Robert, I'm sorry.

I never doubted you.

Well, that was one of the most brilliant pitches I've heard.

And the little touch of you looking at him throughout

really got to me right here.

And the money that you're raising for Sarah's Dance...

What you've done here today means a lot to me.

So does that mean I'm forgiven?

No.

But I am going to sign with you guys anyway.

Oh!

Thank you.

So where's little Sarah?

Here she is.

Hey! There's my baby girl.

Hi, Daddy.

So, what do you think of the party so far?

It's wonderful, but it would be even better if you would...

...dance with me, Daddy.

I would be honored.

Excuse me. I'm wanted on the dance floor.

Come on.

Can I have this dance?

- You're asking me to dance? - I am.

How can I say no?

* You can't imagine

* How good it feels to hold you *

* Right here in my arms

* At this holiday season

* I'd like to make a wish upon a shooting star *

* And ask for just one dance

* When I have you near me

* I never want to let you go

* Just one dance

* I'm living a dream come true *

* As long as I am here with you *

* Here with you

* Here with you

* Just one dance with you

[doorbell rings]

Hi, Ella.

Hey, Tom, look who's here.

- Hey! Merry Christmas, Liz. - Merry Christmas.

I wasn't sure if we'd be seeing you this year.

Well, Merry Christmas, everyone.

So, who's Mr. Handsome over here?

Robert Morgan.

Ella. It's a real pleasure.

- Hi, Ella. Robert. - Hey. Tom. Great to meet you.

Hey, Tom, how are you?

Max, come say hello to your aunt and her friend.

- Hey, Max. - Hey, Aunt Elizabeth.

Listen, I'm sorry I missed your show the other night,

but I heard you were awesome.

Thanks, Aunt Elizabeth.

Max, I'm Robert.

So you're my aunt's boyfriend, huh?

Well, she seems to think so.

- Cool. - Yeah, it is pretty cool.

What's that?

Well, Santa left this for you at my house.

Really? Can I open it now, Mom?

Go for it.

A Danger Dog action figure set!

Awesome!

Wow! That's some response.

I wonder who does their advertising?

Can we wait until after Christmas?

Okay.

Can I get you guys a drink?

- All right. - Let's do it.

Hey, you know what I was thinking?

No. You're gonna have to tell me.

Oh, huh.

Hey, look, Mom! They're under the mistletoe!

And I'm thinking that kid read my mind.
