00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Safe travels, everyone.
3
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,660
Merry Christmas.
4
00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:46,780
Merry Kwanzaa. Happy Hanukkah.
5
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:55,540
Bye. So long.
6
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,820
What? Hey.
7
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,500
Allie. Hi.
8
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,180
What's going on?
9
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:10,268
Come on.
10
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:11,270
Wow.
11
00:01:12,510 --> 00:01:13,650
What are you doing here?
12
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:15,130
I just thought I'd come by and say
hello.
13
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:19,430
And maybe see if you needed any help
here at the community center.
14
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:21,950
No, what happened to your job at the
middle school?
15
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:23,490
Budget cuts.
16
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:25,190
The arts always gets it first.
17
00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:29,010
They said they might rehire people after
the new year, but you could really use
18
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:30,010
a job during the holidays.
19
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:32,890
You know, I really wish I could help
out, but of course I'm all staffed up by
20
00:01:32,890 --> 00:01:36,530
volunteers here. Plus all the other folk
just left on that bus to go to the
21
00:01:36,530 --> 00:01:39,410
Bahamas. So there's no one left here to
look after.
22
00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:43,830
Tony, can you help me with the
decorations for the Christmas tree?
23
00:01:44,350 --> 00:01:47,590
Connie, I thought you were on that bus
to the Bahamas. What's going on?
24
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:51,230
What? And leave you here all alone for
Christmas? Don't be silly.
25
00:01:53,570 --> 00:01:55,050
And here I thought I had a week off.
26
00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:57,770
Well, can you keep the center open just
for one person?
27
00:01:58,050 --> 00:01:59,050
What?
28
00:01:59,570 --> 00:02:02,510
Tony, the TV in the great room's on the
fritz again.
29
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:05,910
I'll deal with that in a minute there,
Bill.
30
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Okay. Make that two persons.
31
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,100
Yeah. Okay,
32
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,400
you're hired. I'm wondering if you could
start today.
33
00:02:17,980 --> 00:02:19,460
Do you know how to fix TVs?
34
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,600
What's wrong? You look upset.
35
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:32,220
Of course I am.
36
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:35,770
This isn't supposed to be an angel with
wings and it looks like a pigeon
37
00:02:35,770 --> 00:02:37,930
exploded. It kind of does.
38
00:02:39,130 --> 00:02:41,270
Well, I'm Connie. Nice to meet you. I'm
Allie.
39
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:43,290
Are you Tony's girlfriend?
40
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:46,150
Oh, no, we're just friends. We went to
school together.
41
00:02:46,410 --> 00:02:47,410
Oh, okay.
42
00:02:48,270 --> 00:02:50,710
So no farting or anything? No, not
really.
43
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:51,950
Okay.
44
00:02:53,650 --> 00:02:55,650
Allie, sit down. Take a load off. Talk
to me.
45
00:02:57,610 --> 00:03:00,250
So, you didn't want to go on the
Christmas cruise, Connie?
46
00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:02,950
What, leave poor old Bill all by
himself?
47
00:03:03,390 --> 00:03:08,130
You see, he told me that he gets
seasick, so a cruise is out of the
48
00:03:08,750 --> 00:03:11,850
And I just thought I'd stay behind and
see if I could help him, the poor dear.
49
00:03:12,510 --> 00:03:15,530
Oh, so you and Bill are a couple?
50
00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:18,730
Well, Allie, that's awfully personal.
51
00:03:19,270 --> 00:03:20,930
Oh. Mm -hmm.
52
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:26,930
Good movie.
53
00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:30,750
Nah, there's nothing on.
54
00:03:32,450 --> 00:03:35,730
Bill, wouldn't you prefer to be at home,
you know, where you could put your feet
55
00:03:35,730 --> 00:03:37,170
up and crack a beer open?
56
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:41,850
Well, to be honest, I didn't want to
leave Connie all by herself.
57
00:03:43,650 --> 00:03:45,070
She doesn't have any family.
58
00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:49,390
And when I found out she wasn't going to
go on the cruise, I thought to myself,
59
00:03:49,610 --> 00:03:52,670
I can't let her spend Christmas all
alone.
60
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:56,690
I told her I got seasick.
61
00:03:58,290 --> 00:03:59,290
Seasick?
62
00:03:59,859 --> 00:04:00,859
Yeah.
63
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,260
Bill, weren't you a captain in the Navy?
64
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:07,820
Well, yeah, a commander to cruiser in
the Pacific.
65
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:12,080
I had dreams of being an architect when
I was a young pup.
66
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,360
My dad and my grandpa were in the Navy,
and I just followed in their footsteps.
67
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,120
Well, you know, that's something we
could take care of. In the new year, we
68
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,080
could arrange for you to take
architecture classes or something. Oh,
69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,460
too old to get involved in that kind of
thing anymore.
70
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,300
I don't know. Maybe there's ways for you
to stay young.
71
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,580
Huh? Sorry. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah,
of course.
72
00:04:44,540 --> 00:04:47,200
Well, why don't you let me know if you
need anything?
73
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,540
Sure, sure, Tony. Yeah, yeah, thank you.
74
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,020
Listen, we are going to have all the
activities that we plan to have this
75
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,959
aren't we?
76
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,340
Yeah, looks that way, Bill.
77
00:04:57,780 --> 00:04:58,780
Seasick.
78
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,160
Well, let's cut to the chase. Who goes
to search for Mr.
79
00:05:03,380 --> 00:05:04,390
Wright? My search?
80
00:05:04,610 --> 00:05:06,410
Oh, I'm not looking for Mr. Right.
81
00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:10,770
Oh, honey, don't kid a kidder. A good
-looking gal like you?
82
00:05:11,050 --> 00:05:12,830
Not in the market for a sweetheart?
83
00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:16,810
Well, actually, I just got out of a
relationship, so I'm kind of putting all
84
00:05:16,810 --> 00:05:17,810
that on hold. Yeah.
85
00:05:18,190 --> 00:05:20,030
Besides, it's hard finding the right
person.
86
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:24,090
What? What are you kidding? With all the
snaps and apps and tubes and tweeties?
87
00:05:24,170 --> 00:05:27,210
I bet you I can find you a good catch in
two minutes. Here, give me your phone.
88
00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:28,310
Oh, no.
89
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:29,790
Well,
90
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:32,210
would you like to meet my grandson, Ms.
Daniel?
91
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,480
Very handsome, lovely smile.
92
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:35,740
Nice boy.
93
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,740
Aw. No, thank you, Connie.
94
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:41,540
I could find my own date, but I'm not
really in the dating frame of mind right
95
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:42,600
now. Really?
96
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:44,100
Yeah.
97
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:45,920
Yeah.
98
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,060
Oh, well, I guess love can wait while we
finish our decorations.
99
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:54,240
But just remember, keep your eyes open.
You never know when you'll find Mr.
100
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:55,300
Right.
101
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,240
You were just missing the angel's head.
102
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,060
Beautiful. Thank you. My pleasure.
103
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,900
Allie, wait up, wait up.
104
00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:14,140
Thank you for all your help today.
105
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,259
Oh, it was my pleasure.
106
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:16,760
Bill and Connie were very entertaining.
107
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:19,100
Yes, if by entertaining you mean a
handful, absolutely.
108
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,940
I'd hate to lose you after just one day,
but something that might interest you.
109
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:25,039
What is it?
110
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,940
Looks like a Help Wanted poster. It's on
the community bulletin board.
111
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:30,740
The Santa quad can help make your
Christmas dreams come true.
112
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,480
Do you need someone to help shop for
you, decorate your tree, wrap presents?
113
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,660
Santa Squad offers a ho -ho -whole range
of services to help make your spirits
114
00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:39,660
bright all season long.
115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,460
I'd be perfect for this job. Right? I
mean, first of all, I love Christmas. I
116
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:47,440
can vouch for that. I've heard you sing
Jingle Bells in July. I can shop.
117
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:49,040
Christmas shopping is so much fun.
118
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,320
I decorate.
119
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,120
I've decorated numerous times. I could
almost call myself a decorator. Too far,
120
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:54,999
I think.
121
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,660
Well, I'll call them and see how much
they pay.
122
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,600
Great. You know, they'll probably make
you wear one of those elf costumes,
123
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,720
right? Oh, no way.
124
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,380
Oh, no, that's too corny. Is it?
125
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Um, could you point me to the hiring
office?
126
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,080
Um, hello.
127
00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:24,160
Oh, hi. Hi. Did you bring the patrami
sandwich?
128
00:07:24,660 --> 00:07:26,740
Uh, no, I'm here about a job.
129
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Oh, well, that's too bad.
130
00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:35,150
So you're not hiring?
131
00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:37,850
Oh, no, no. I meant too bad about the
pastrami.
132
00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:39,170
Oh, right.
133
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:42,750
Okay, but you are hiring. Oh, yes, yes.
We always need out.
134
00:07:43,470 --> 00:07:48,410
Tell me, what kind of elf work have you
done? Up until recently, I was an art
135
00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:51,890
teacher at a middle school, so we had to
do a lot of artsy things that required
136
00:07:51,890 --> 00:07:56,330
artistic skill. Oh, and I'm in charge of
decorating the community center for the
137
00:07:56,330 --> 00:08:00,550
holidays. Six big rooms with a Christmas
tree in each one, plus handmade.
138
00:08:01,159 --> 00:08:04,580
Streamers, lifetime reindeer, made out
of chicken wire and paper mache.
139
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,800
Oh, I love them.
140
00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:08,400
Would you look at that?
141
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:13,180
Oh, um... There you go.
142
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:17,100
Oh, nicely done.
143
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,940
Yes, good instinct.
144
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:22,260
Excellent problem -solving skills.
145
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,860
Oh, yes, I have those as well.
146
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,140
All right, I'm going to give you a
hypothetical.
147
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,539
It's Christmas Eve, and you get a call
from a guy saying he forgot to get his
148
00:08:32,539 --> 00:08:33,580
wife a Christmas present.
149
00:08:33,940 --> 00:08:35,580
What do you tell him to do?
150
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:40,220
Oh, uh... Tick -tock, tick -tock,
Christmas Eve. I would tell him to clean
151
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:41,220
bathroom.
152
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,599
Excuse me?
153
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Make that bathroom shine like a diamond,
that's what I'd say.
154
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:47,020
All right.
155
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,340
Let me get a little... Oh,
156
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:56,860
hello, doll, it's me. Let me ask you,
what would you think if I...
157
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,960
cleaned the bathroom by myself.
158
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:01,660
Really?
159
00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:03,860
Oh, really.
160
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:06,140
Well, thank you, my love.
161
00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:12,940
Oh, yes. All right. Well, you just got
my wife to say sweet things I haven't
162
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:13,940
heard in years.
163
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:17,420
All right.
164
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,220
I'm going to give you a shot at the
church file.
165
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:24,480
The church file? Yes. It's a very
important job. One of the biggest.
166
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,220
Talk to Holly.
167
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,880
Holly at the counter, and she'll get you
all squared away. Oh, and thanks for
168
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,880
the gumballs.
169
00:09:35,140 --> 00:09:36,140
Church file.
170
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:39,840
This
171
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:47,440
isn't
172
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,440
a church.
173
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:52,300
This is bigger than a cathedral.
174
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:02,740
You're in my way!
175
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:04,980
Oh, sorry!
176
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:06,380
Sorry!
177
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Ow,
178
00:10:17,540 --> 00:10:18,540
you're in my spot.
179
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Alrighty, then.
180
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,620
Yes? Hi, I'm Allie from the Santa Squad,
the personal holiday service. I'm
181
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:03,440
Daniel Hyde. I'm Mr. Church's personal
assistant.
182
00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:04,780
Come. Come, come.
183
00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:08,340
Oh, I... I'm so sorry.
184
00:11:08,860 --> 00:11:15,340
the driveway and i oh wow met kimmy
that's mr church's lady friend mr
185
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:21,240
oh oh church is the family name for some
reason i thought i was going to an
186
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,800
actual church but then i thought why
would they gift her up it's a church but
187
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,400
then i thought what the heck i mean
maybe they have some gifts they want to
188
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,360
to the people you'll be assisting mr
gordon church and his daughters iris and
189
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,060
rose did you bring a resume oh yes i did
190
00:11:35,050 --> 00:11:38,630
And you've been alerted to your
responsibilities and your obligations
191
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:39,630
church household?
192
00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:44,330
I mean, they told me that I was
responsible for taking care of setting
193
00:11:44,330 --> 00:11:47,970
Christmas. You know, the presents,
decorations, etc.
194
00:11:48,310 --> 00:11:49,710
Any outstanding warrants?
195
00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:52,010
Outstanding? No.
196
00:11:52,030 --> 00:11:53,350
Liens on your personal property?
197
00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:56,630
No. Speeding tickets, unpaid or
otherwise?
198
00:11:57,010 --> 00:12:01,610
No. Excuse me, I'm sorry, but Mr. Carl
at the Santa Squad already went over a
199
00:12:01,610 --> 00:12:03,810
little bit. One moment. Yes, sir. Yes,
you sir.
200
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:07,380
I will, sir. Oh, and you asked me to
remind you about the Tokyo call. The
201
00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:08,440
paperwork is on your desk.
202
00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:11,240
Never a dull moment. One moment.
203
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:18,500
What other kinds of guidance did you
receive from the Santa Squad group?
204
00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:21,420
Oh, they gave me a list of do's and
don'ts. Just general stuff.
205
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:22,940
Job's a job, right?
206
00:12:23,460 --> 00:12:26,380
The church residence is not like other
jobs.
207
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,400
There are very specific rules we like to
follow. Rules that have been put into
208
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:32,740
place for very specific reasons.
209
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,999
Oh, okay.
210
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Like what?
211
00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:36,100
I beg your pardon?
212
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,160
What are the specific reasons for the
specific rules? Well, that's not your
213
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,640
concern. I just thought if I knew the
why, it would help with the how.
214
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:46,620
Charming.
215
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,140
These are the interior decorations.
Garland for the mantle, holiday candles,
216
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:52,300
etc., etc.
217
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,400
One box for the whole house?
218
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Is that a problem?
219
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,820
No, not at all. I'm just...
220
00:13:02,180 --> 00:13:04,600
I'm sure there's a very specific reason.
Please continue.
221
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,660
These are the tree ornaments.
222
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Each one handmade.
223
00:13:11,420 --> 00:13:13,180
Each one quite expensive.
224
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:15,680
That's really impressive.
225
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:17,200
So be quite careful with those.
226
00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:20,760
The tree is in the family room. Oh.
227
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,420
Yes, sir. Yes, I'll be right there.
228
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,900
Familiarize yourself with the contents,
then come to the family room. I'll meet
229
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:28,900
you there.
230
00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:35,690
Arigato, Gozama Sato -san.
231
00:13:38,490 --> 00:13:39,490
Okay.
232
00:13:43,930 --> 00:13:44,930
How's it look?
233
00:13:45,330 --> 00:13:48,610
I told them, okay, but no, it needs to
go back.
234
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:53,470
How's the new employee from the Santa
squad? Did you see him up to the task?
235
00:13:53,770 --> 00:13:55,750
That remains to be seen. How so?
236
00:13:56,610 --> 00:14:00,090
She's a little chatty, but not
obnoxiously so. Did you see that?
237
00:14:00,710 --> 00:14:03,370
scattered, but perhaps it's the
adrenaline of starting a new position.
238
00:14:03,650 --> 00:14:05,610
Well, as long as she gets the job done.
239
00:14:06,590 --> 00:14:09,150
If I may ask, how did your call with the
Japanese CEO go?
240
00:14:09,990 --> 00:14:11,290
Well, he's not on board yet.
241
00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:14,470
I feel like they're waiting for us to
try something new, something that'll
242
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:17,550
their socks off, but I'm just not sure
what that is yet.
243
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:24,870
Are smoothies healthy in direct relation
to how awful they taste?
244
00:14:25,930 --> 00:14:28,210
Eugene will have the jet ready to roll
at six.
245
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:31,530
They're meeting the football team owner
in his private box.
246
00:14:31,730 --> 00:14:32,669
And the girls?
247
00:14:32,670 --> 00:14:34,110
Iris is practicing her flute.
248
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:38,150
Good girl. And Rose is studying for her
last test before the holiday break.
249
00:14:38,530 --> 00:14:39,530
Good.
250
00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:44,030
You know, I just wish that she'd make
some time to have some fun while she's
251
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:45,030
still young.
252
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:48,670
Are you still having some fun?
253
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:50,130
No.
254
00:14:50,630 --> 00:14:53,770
No, it's just the idea of Rose having
fun would be so unusual.
255
00:14:54,270 --> 00:14:56,670
She's so studious most of the time.
256
00:14:57,170 --> 00:14:58,170
No offense.
257
00:14:58,570 --> 00:15:03,530
I know that she's Daniel, and that's on
me. I'm... I've been neglecting him.
258
00:15:04,330 --> 00:15:05,930
You'll have more time after the
holidays.
259
00:15:07,010 --> 00:15:08,230
Yeah, of course.
260
00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:10,570
Thank you, Daniel.
261
00:15:27,850 --> 00:15:29,710
Allie, I'm pleased to meet you.
262
00:15:30,150 --> 00:15:31,250
Do you work here now?
263
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:33,110
Um, looks like it.
264
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:34,810
Are you a gardener?
265
00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:36,230
Nope.
266
00:15:36,630 --> 00:15:37,970
Missy? Chef?
267
00:15:38,870 --> 00:15:40,230
Artwork restoration technician?
268
00:15:41,350 --> 00:15:42,650
I'm here to help out for Christmas.
269
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:44,230
The Santa Squad?
270
00:15:44,530 --> 00:15:45,530
That's right.
271
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:49,250
Do you think it would be okay if we did
a little more decorating than we did
272
00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:50,250
last year?
273
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:54,590
Well, I wasn't here last year, but sure,
we can have some fun decorating.
274
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,700
But I'd like to speak to your father
first. Make sure it's okay.
275
00:15:58,060 --> 00:15:59,560
You can do that right now.
276
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Oh.
277
00:16:06,980 --> 00:16:09,900
Hi, Mr. Church. I'm Allie. Gordon.
Church.
278
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,520
The folder, sir?
279
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400
Right, right. Oh, yeah.
280
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:22,600
Everything you need is in the Christmas
folder.
281
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,180
Oh, perfect.
282
00:16:25,750 --> 00:16:26,890
When should I start?
283
00:16:27,790 --> 00:16:29,090
How do you feel about starting right
now?
284
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:30,990
Oh.
285
00:16:32,570 --> 00:16:33,570
Sure.
286
00:16:34,250 --> 00:16:37,290
Okay, just let Daniel know what you
need. And meanwhile, we need to think of
287
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:39,670
something to impress the Japanese deal.
We need something bold.
288
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:41,790
Can you write it backwards?
289
00:16:42,930 --> 00:16:43,930
Come again?
290
00:16:44,350 --> 00:16:46,630
The Japanese, they read right to left.
291
00:16:47,070 --> 00:16:50,150
That's why their books seem like they're
backwards to us. We read left to right.
292
00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:53,090
If you don't mind. No, no, hang on, hang
on.
293
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:55,230
Go on.
294
00:16:55,469 --> 00:16:59,250
Oh, I'm just thinking. I teach art to
middle schoolers, and we like to show
295
00:16:59,250 --> 00:17:00,310
how different cultures do things.
296
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:04,210
Maybe the Japanese would appreciate it
if your presentation matched their
297
00:17:04,210 --> 00:17:05,210
cultural style?
298
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:07,510
That's a great idea.
299
00:17:08,770 --> 00:17:09,770
Allie.
300
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:11,650
That's a great idea, Allie. Thank you.
301
00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,589
Bye, sweetheart.
302
00:17:16,770 --> 00:17:18,210
Are you going somewhere, Daddy?
303
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:21,770
Yes, I am going to a football game in
Florida.
304
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:24,310
Why can't you just watch it here on TV?
305
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,460
Because I'm not really going to watch
the game, Pumpkin.
306
00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:30,260
But you just said... I know it's kind of
confusing, but I will be back in the
307
00:17:30,260 --> 00:17:31,260
morning, okay?
308
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,600
Okay.
309
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:36,620
Okay? Okay.
310
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,800
All right.
311
00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:40,660
You can get yourself squared away?
312
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:41,900
Sure.
313
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,160
Okay, then.
314
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,880
Kimmy. Gordon.
315
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Kimmy. Hi.
316
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,710
Uh... I was just getting Allie set up.
317
00:17:54,970 --> 00:17:57,790
She's with the fan squad, the people
that come to your house to do the...
318
00:17:57,790 --> 00:17:58,689
we met outside.
319
00:17:58,690 --> 00:17:59,690
Allie, is it?
320
00:17:59,790 --> 00:18:00,790
Yes, I'm Allie.
321
00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:04,110
Allie, in the future, you can park in
the back by the servant's entrance.
322
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:05,069
Would that be okay?
323
00:18:05,070 --> 00:18:06,090
Oh, fine.
324
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:07,850
I'm sorry about earlier.
325
00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:11,450
Is the Florida trip still on, or do you
need to help Allie some more?
326
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:15,930
Let's go.
327
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:37,350
Hi. You must be Rose.
328
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:39,730
I don't know if I must be.
329
00:18:40,530 --> 00:18:41,530
Who are you?
330
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:43,570
I'm Allie.
331
00:18:44,110 --> 00:18:45,390
I'm here with the Santa Squad.
332
00:18:45,670 --> 00:18:47,210
I'll be helping out around Christmas.
333
00:18:47,630 --> 00:18:50,110
Gift wrapping, decorating, all that
stuff.
334
00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:58,550
Did you know that some sharks can live
up to five centuries?
335
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:01,470
No, I didn't know that.
336
00:19:03,150 --> 00:19:06,090
Did you know that the heart of the
shrimp can be found in its head?
337
00:19:06,730 --> 00:19:08,050
I didn't know that either.
338
00:19:09,070 --> 00:19:12,670
Can you guess which animal features
prominently in the Christmas song, The
339
00:19:12,670 --> 00:19:13,670
Twelve Days of Christmas?
340
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:16,470
Um, let me think.
341
00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:21,690
Birds. French hens, turtle doves, geese,
swan, and the infamous partridge.
342
00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:23,650
You're right.
343
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:26,210
No, I never thought of it as a song
about birds.
344
00:19:27,770 --> 00:19:31,730
There are those who theorize that five
golden rings relate to the ring -necked
345
00:19:31,730 --> 00:19:32,730
pheasant.
346
00:19:34,090 --> 00:19:35,090
I'm not so sure.
347
00:19:36,110 --> 00:19:37,110
I see.
348
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:39,270
Well, you have to be sure.
349
00:19:40,810 --> 00:19:41,810
It's vital.
350
00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:50,030
Well, maybe Jingle Bells is really a
song about birds that, I don't know,
351
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:51,030
jingle sound.
352
00:19:52,430 --> 00:19:53,450
Birds don't jingle.
353
00:20:03,210 --> 00:20:04,210
Nice to meet you.
354
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:32,760
Do you like that one?
355
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:34,500
Well, yes.
356
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,560
It's amazing.
357
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:43,540
Iris, do you want to help decorate the
tree?
358
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,120
We can ask Rose, too.
359
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,440
I'm not allowed to touch those
decorations.
360
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,500
Well, that's too bad.
361
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,120
Decorating the tree is one of the most
fun things you can do at Christmas time.
362
00:20:53,420 --> 00:20:54,420
Not around here.
363
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,440
Does your family have any ornaments that
aren't so expensive?
364
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,240
I mean, these are incredible, but do you
have some personal ones you girls made
365
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,879
in school?
366
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,200
They don't do stuff like that at the
kinds of schools we go to.
367
00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:25,420
Now, the Christmas gifts have been
ordered and should be arriving within
368
00:21:25,420 --> 00:21:26,419
next few days.
369
00:21:26,420 --> 00:21:29,240
So, all the gifts are being delivered
from online stores?
370
00:21:29,660 --> 00:21:30,660
Yes, of course.
371
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,540
Would there be any opportunity for me to
do any private shopping?
372
00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:35,960
I'm very good in a mall.
373
00:21:37,220 --> 00:21:41,880
Be that as it may, this is how we sort
the Christmas gifts. Now, most of them
374
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,540
will come wrapped, but you'll be
responsible for taking care of the ones
375
00:21:44,540 --> 00:21:47,800
aren't. I'll be expecting perfectly
creased corners, nothing gaudy.
376
00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:49,940
Conservative bows, classic colors.
377
00:21:50,220 --> 00:21:54,080
Oh, about that. I thought the most
amazing cellophane shells, you just
378
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,980
over the gift boxes and you top it with
shredded bows.
379
00:21:56,220 --> 00:21:57,440
No. Oh, but... No.
380
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,240
Are we clear?
381
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,960
Yes, we are.
382
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,200
The girls are adorable.
383
00:22:11,780 --> 00:22:16,320
And the dad, you know, he seems nice,
but the house feels empty, lifeless.
384
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:19,040
I mean, well, the way you describe that
big old mansion, it sounds like it'll
385
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,120
take a hundred people or more to fill it
up.
386
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:25,420
So the dad, Mr. Church, he's dating this
woman.
387
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:27,840
I think she wants to scratch my eyes
out.
388
00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:32,630
I'm sure you just imagined it. No, she
looks at me like... Oh, my goodness.
389
00:22:33,650 --> 00:22:34,650
I'm sure it's nothing.
390
00:22:35,690 --> 00:22:39,050
I just want to loosen the girl's life,
you know, find the joy of Christmas.
391
00:22:39,370 --> 00:22:40,510
All they need is a little guidance.
392
00:22:40,830 --> 00:22:41,830
I don't know, Allie.
393
00:22:42,390 --> 00:22:43,289
Don't get involved.
394
00:22:43,290 --> 00:22:45,290
I think you should just walk through
these next few weeks, put a little
395
00:22:45,290 --> 00:22:47,550
something in your bank account, hit the
ground running for the new year.
396
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:51,490
Maybe I can bring some creativity to the
job.
397
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:53,570
Change things up in the church
household.
398
00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:55,510
Uh -oh.
399
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,300
You're getting that Lucille Ball look in
your eyes. There it is. That's it. I
400
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:00,320
don't like it. What are you thinking?
401
00:23:00,580 --> 00:23:04,180
Well, first of all, can I use some of
the community center's leftover
402
00:23:04,180 --> 00:23:08,180
decorations? Of course. We've got enough
to last us a few years at least.
403
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:09,700
What are you thinking?
404
00:23:12,140 --> 00:23:13,820
We've heard of the Christmas presents
list.
405
00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:16,640
We've heard of the naughty and nice
list.
406
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:23,860
Sure. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we
introduce to you the master list of
407
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:25,510
fun. Christmas activities.
408
00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:31,650
You look underwhelmed.
409
00:23:31,930 --> 00:23:35,310
Oh, well, that's because you forgot to
fill it with, uh... Ta -da!
410
00:23:35,830 --> 00:23:37,410
Ah! Ta -da!
411
00:23:37,630 --> 00:23:40,450
Hey! Wow, okay, that's a really good
idea, yeah.
412
00:23:40,710 --> 00:23:41,549
Good, right?
413
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:43,350
Yeah. I think it'll work.
414
00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:47,710
Iris! Rose!
415
00:23:49,850 --> 00:23:51,110
What is it, Allie?
416
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:53,230
You guys busy?
417
00:23:53,770 --> 00:23:55,750
I'm studying for my big biology test.
418
00:23:56,090 --> 00:24:02,990
She's been studying for a month. She's
going to get an A+++++. There is
419
00:24:02,990 --> 00:24:05,670
no such grade. Is to, is not.
420
00:24:06,030 --> 00:24:07,530
Ladies, come on, it's Christmas.
421
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:10,510
And I've come up with the master list of
Christmas activities.
422
00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:15,970
Ta -da!
423
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:19,630
No? Okay.
424
00:24:19,950 --> 00:24:22,370
Anyway, how would you like to help me
decorate the house?
425
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,120
Isn't that your job? Well, yes, but it's
so much fun to do it together.
426
00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:28,920
We've never decorated before.
427
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,580
Well, that's the beauty of Christmas
activities.
428
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,240
You don't need to experience this little
elbow grease.
429
00:24:34,860 --> 00:24:35,860
Come on, give it a try.
430
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:40,399
Come on.
431
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,400
Come on.
432
00:25:09,139 --> 00:25:10,139
Oh, no.
433
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,840
No, no, no.
434
00:25:24,939 --> 00:25:26,700
Yes, Kimmy, I didn't see you there.
435
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:30,060
What is all this?
436
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,040
I look away for one second and the house
is overrun by whimsy and merriment. I
437
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,480
mean, that is not what Christmas is
about.
438
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:42,640
No, no, no, that Christmas is about
luxury and elegance and artistry and the
439
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,220
exquisite refinement of the tasteful and
chic.
440
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,040
I'll see what I can do.
441
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,240
Yes, you go do that.
442
00:26:00,230 --> 00:26:01,450
No. Hey, Rose.
443
00:26:01,990 --> 00:26:03,610
I just read an interesting article.
444
00:26:03,950 --> 00:26:06,590
Did you know that snails could sleep for
three years?
445
00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:09,890
Yes. And frogs can have four noses.
446
00:26:10,130 --> 00:26:16,030
Huh. Well, it actually reminded me that
sometimes we can get stuck for a long
447
00:26:16,030 --> 00:26:19,650
time doing the same things over and over
when there might be a fun way to break
448
00:26:19,650 --> 00:26:20,589
the routine.
449
00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:21,590
How so?
450
00:26:22,010 --> 00:26:26,730
Well, maybe you could take a break from
your studies and help Iris and me make
451
00:26:26,730 --> 00:26:28,070
homemade Christmas tree decorations.
452
00:26:29,930 --> 00:26:32,230
It's next on the master list of
Christmas activities.
453
00:26:32,610 --> 00:26:36,170
Oh, that's not a real thing, is it?
454
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:37,950
Well, no.
455
00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:41,690
But it sounds like it can be fun. Yeah?
Yes.
456
00:26:41,950 --> 00:26:46,050
Great. Is that a glue gun?
457
00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:52,190
Yes. And I have pipe cleaners and
sparkles and scissors and construction
458
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:56,470
Because, um... I thought it would be fun
for the girls to make their own
459
00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:59,760
ornaments. You know, kind of... Get in
the spirit of the season. Surely not on
460
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,539
this table.
461
00:27:00,540 --> 00:27:01,540
It's an antique.
462
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,480
We'll be so careful, won't we, Allie?
463
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,740
Yeah, we could put a newspaper down.
464
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,680
Oh, that's so pretty.
465
00:27:25,380 --> 00:27:26,940
There, now isn't that better?
466
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:30,820
Now you can make all your little art
things in the bright light of the day.
467
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,920
It's sort of cold out here, Daniel.
468
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:36,620
Yes, well, it's a good thing you're
wearing your gloves.
469
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,000
I trust this is the final decorating
activity for the season?
470
00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:45,260
More or less.
471
00:27:50,380 --> 00:27:53,280
Tell me a little bit about what you guys
usually do for Christmas.
472
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:56,540
Do you guys get your dad a present just
from the two of you?
473
00:27:56,910 --> 00:27:58,030
I can help you do that if you want.
474
00:27:58,710 --> 00:28:01,590
I can't think of anything he doesn't
already have.
475
00:28:02,130 --> 00:28:04,390
All the Christmas gifts for us have been
picked out.
476
00:28:04,810 --> 00:28:06,970
They're in the folder Daniel gave you.
Right.
477
00:28:07,230 --> 00:28:08,390
Yes, I did see that.
478
00:28:10,150 --> 00:28:15,430
What about getting him something a
little more personal, like a handmade
479
00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:18,590
a poem or a photo album?
480
00:28:18,890 --> 00:28:20,050
Something from the heart.
481
00:28:20,770 --> 00:28:22,690
We don't really do those kind of things.
482
00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:27,580
Daddy travels so much, we just got used
to picking out our presents from
483
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:28,580
catalogs.
484
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,160
Don't you guys ever want to be
surprised?
485
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,660
And receive something you didn't ask
for?
486
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,760
Yeah, maybe get a present you didn't
know you needed.
487
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,200
Like?
488
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,740
Like a bicycle.
489
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,220
You already have those.
490
00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:42,740
A puppy?
491
00:28:43,060 --> 00:28:44,060
I'm allergic.
492
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:45,660
Okay.
493
00:28:55,470 --> 00:28:57,230
You look like a Christmas tree.
494
00:28:57,550 --> 00:28:58,550
Perfect.
495
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:04,930
Good
496
00:29:04,930 --> 00:29:11,890
morning,
497
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:13,150
Ellie. Hi.
498
00:29:13,970 --> 00:29:16,490
Sorry about this. I don't usually wear
glitter on my face.
499
00:29:17,250 --> 00:29:18,250
I hear you're missing.
500
00:29:18,830 --> 00:29:19,830
Oh.
501
00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:27,400
Can I offer you a coffee?
502
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,780
Oh, um, no thanks.
503
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,860
So, the, uh, decorations look nice.
504
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,660
I don't think we've ever had this much
Christmas in our house before.
505
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,340
Oh, I hope that's okay.
506
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,800
Well, of course.
507
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,040
I heard you persuaded the girls to help
you.
508
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,440
Oh, it didn't take much persuading. They
were really excited to pitch in.
509
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:45,640
Really? Even Rose?
510
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Yeah. You know, I think when kids are
young, they don't realize the fun that
511
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,120
be had with simple activities.
512
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,600
They're also...
513
00:29:52,810 --> 00:29:54,670
fixated by their devices and screens.
514
00:29:54,930 --> 00:29:57,650
They forget there's a big world just
waiting to be experienced.
515
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:01,730
I'm afraid I fit into that category. No
matter how many phone calls I make, I'm
516
00:30:01,730 --> 00:30:02,730
always five calls behind.
517
00:30:04,270 --> 00:30:05,830
So, what's on the agenda today?
518
00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:11,850
Oh, um, Iris and I were just making some
homemade ornaments for the tree.
519
00:30:15,090 --> 00:30:18,390
Really? Has Daniel not shown you the
ones we use?
520
00:30:21,370 --> 00:30:22,370
Oh, oh, yes.
521
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,900
And they are so beautiful. I just
thought, you know, why not add a
522
00:30:26,900 --> 00:30:27,900
touch to the tree?
523
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,960
How about you?
524
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:34,500
Me? I'm sure it's been years since you
bedazzled a styrofoam ball.
525
00:30:35,140 --> 00:30:36,860
Oh, I don't think I can.
526
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,400
What's on my schedule this morning?
527
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,800
You're expecting a call with the
arbitration team.
528
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Right.
529
00:30:45,460 --> 00:30:46,460
That...
530
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,180
Can't wait till after the holidays,
though, right?
531
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,160
Let's make an ornament.
532
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Okay.
533
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,400
Good Irish.
534
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:08,500
Hey.
535
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:10,900
Glitter's not really sticking.
536
00:31:11,220 --> 00:31:13,480
I think you have a little too much glue.
537
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:16,860
Okay, well, let me just wipe some of it
off here.
538
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:20,380
Uh -oh.
539
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,580
I need help. Oh, this will be
interesting.
540
00:31:31,260 --> 00:31:35,760
Thank you. Okay, let's try this from the
top again.
541
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:40,420
Here we go.
542
00:31:41,380 --> 00:31:44,220
I think I did it again. I need some more
help. Yeah, thanks.
543
00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:47,580
Oh, no.
544
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Stuck to it, too.
545
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,760
I think we're really stuck here.
546
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,280
Well, isn't this a cozy picture?
547
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,200
Hey, Kimmy, I didn't know you were
coming over today.
548
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,340
Clearly. I thought I'd surprise you with
a lunch date.
549
00:32:10,420 --> 00:32:13,320
That's a great idea. Let me just get
cleaned up and we can get going.
550
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,660
Guys, we'll see you a little bit later,
okay?
551
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,920
Excuse me, guys?
552
00:32:23,980 --> 00:32:24,980
Homemade ornament?
553
00:32:26,890 --> 00:32:29,030
I thought it would be a fun Christmas
activity.
554
00:32:29,330 --> 00:32:30,330
For the girl.
555
00:32:30,890 --> 00:32:31,890
Yeah.
556
00:32:32,290 --> 00:32:36,010
Did they tell you that I personally
selected the ornaments we already have?
557
00:32:37,150 --> 00:32:40,290
No. But they are very beautiful.
558
00:32:41,290 --> 00:32:42,930
Thank you so much, Allie.
559
00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:46,170
I can't tell you what your compliment
means to me. Honestly.
560
00:32:46,930 --> 00:32:47,930
I can't.
561
00:32:58,090 --> 00:32:59,790
What's your favorite part about
Christmas, Rose?
562
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:01,630
Is it the songs on the radio?
563
00:33:01,970 --> 00:33:03,710
Seeing your favorite movies on the TV?
564
00:33:06,210 --> 00:33:08,950
I like it when Christmas Day falls on a
Monday.
565
00:33:09,410 --> 00:33:10,410
How come?
566
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:12,690
Because Mondays are hard.
567
00:33:13,370 --> 00:33:18,470
And Mondays mean I have to go to school
and find out if the work I've done, if
568
00:33:18,470 --> 00:33:19,470
it's good enough.
569
00:33:19,890 --> 00:33:23,210
Oh, Rose, that's a lot of pressure to
put on yourself.
570
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,640
Honey, all you can do, all any of us can
do is try our best.
571
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,000
You can't beat yourself up every time
you don't get an Aeon attached.
572
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,400
But I do.
573
00:33:38,380 --> 00:33:40,540
Rose, what's the bump in your pocket?
574
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:42,700
My ornament.
575
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,740
Wow, that's amazing.
576
00:33:45,780 --> 00:33:47,360
It's the eye of a dragonfly.
577
00:33:47,620 --> 00:33:53,300
Each of their eyes is made of 30 ,000
facets, resulting in 360 -degree vision.
578
00:33:54,139 --> 00:33:57,940
Well, that is a gorgeous ornament, and
it deserves a place on the tree.
579
00:33:58,900 --> 00:33:59,900
Come on.
580
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,500
How about this one, too?
581
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,840
The one your dad made.
582
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,199
Yeah. Yeah.
583
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,940
There we go.
584
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,080
Oh.
585
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:24,570
Daniel, I was just wondering if...
Sorry, Allie, I don't have time.
586
00:34:24,810 --> 00:34:27,190
Oh, I was just wondering if I could take
the girls on a little skill trip?
587
00:34:27,850 --> 00:34:28,808
Take the girls?
588
00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:29,810
Yeah, this afternoon?
589
00:34:30,810 --> 00:34:33,150
Fine. Where did I put this itinerary?
590
00:34:36,610 --> 00:34:37,610
Iris! Rose!
591
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:46,290
Allie, you don't have to keep coming in
here to hang out with us. There's really
592
00:34:46,290 --> 00:34:47,449
not that much going on.
593
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,659
Well, we don't need a lot of people for
the next item on our master list of
594
00:34:51,659 --> 00:34:52,659
Christmas activities.
595
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:54,159
Visiting loved ones.
596
00:34:54,540 --> 00:34:55,359
I see.
597
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,420
And who do we have here?
598
00:34:56,780 --> 00:34:57,980
I'm Iris. I'm eight.
599
00:34:58,540 --> 00:35:01,760
My name is Tony. I'm 32. That's four
times that.
600
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,180
And who are you, pretty little lady?
601
00:35:04,460 --> 00:35:05,460
My name is Rose.
602
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Nice to meet you, Rose.
603
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,500
Rose, you're so good at making
ornaments, I thought you could help. And
604
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:12,640
you look like you'd be pretty good with
a paintbrush.
605
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:16,380
I'm not allowed to draw at home, but...
606
00:35:17,089 --> 00:35:18,330
Can you keep a secret?
607
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:19,930
Cross my heart.
608
00:35:20,750 --> 00:35:25,330
Well, sometimes when I'm supposed to be
practicing playing the flute, I draw and
609
00:35:25,330 --> 00:35:28,290
I paint instead, and I hide my pictures
under the bed.
610
00:35:29,930 --> 00:35:33,770
Well, today you can paint out in the
open in front of everybody.
611
00:35:34,330 --> 00:35:35,330
Deal?
612
00:35:35,490 --> 00:35:36,490
Deal.
613
00:35:37,490 --> 00:35:39,570
Come on. I think you'll like this. Come
here.
614
00:35:44,930 --> 00:35:48,490
Once the circles are finished, we're
going to string them all together and
615
00:35:48,490 --> 00:35:49,490
them all around the room.
616
00:35:49,570 --> 00:35:52,950
Oh, that's going to look so nice. It'll
look like Christmas lights. Yeah. Yeah.
617
00:35:54,110 --> 00:35:58,970
So, um, does this little one here come
with a single father by any chance?
618
00:35:59,870 --> 00:36:00,709
Hi, Red.
619
00:36:00,710 --> 00:36:03,510
Would you mind going and filling up my
water glass for me in the kitchen?
620
00:36:03,730 --> 00:36:05,170
Sure. Thank you.
621
00:36:06,210 --> 00:36:07,250
She's a nice kid.
622
00:36:08,830 --> 00:36:12,270
Connie. It's a job, not an opportunity
for a date.
623
00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:18,960
Allie. Everything's an opportunity to
find a date. No, he has a... I guess you
624
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,200
could call her his girlfriend.
625
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,920
Really? I take it you're not too
thrilled with her.
626
00:36:24,660 --> 00:36:27,340
Well, she just doesn't seem like his
type.
627
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,560
She doesn't connect at all with his
daughters.
628
00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:32,380
It's like she thinks they're in her way
or something.
629
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,920
Anyway, it's none of my business.
630
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:36,560
No, none of your business.
631
00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:40,060
What is it?
632
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,000
Is it?
633
00:36:45,230 --> 00:36:47,050
Oh, hey, the clothes are great.
634
00:36:47,470 --> 00:36:49,730
You know, we should bring kids around
here more often. They make old folks,
635
00:36:49,830 --> 00:36:50,830
well, happy.
636
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:52,370
They're having a great time.
637
00:36:52,570 --> 00:36:56,070
I don't think they get out much. Their
lives are kind of regimented.
638
00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:57,950
Would you get a load of this?
639
00:36:58,710 --> 00:37:00,770
I tried to get Bill to open up for a
week.
640
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:04,150
Ten minutes with this kid, and she has
him gabbing away like they're old Navy
641
00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:05,150
buddies.
642
00:37:05,370 --> 00:37:07,130
This is ready to drink now and serve.
643
00:37:07,410 --> 00:37:08,410
Table two.
644
00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:14,330
What is that, a Christmas cow?
645
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:17,680
It's a reindeer.
646
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:18,780
Oh, yeah.
647
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:22,780
Yeah. Did you know that reindeer's eyes
turn blue in the winter?
648
00:37:23,260 --> 00:37:24,300
I did know that.
649
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:28,400
Did you know that cows sleep standing up
when they dream lying down?
650
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,220
Oh, that's a good one. You are really
something.
651
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:35,920
That woman is staring at you.
652
00:37:36,580 --> 00:37:37,760
Uh, what woman's that?
653
00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:39,100
Over there.
654
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,360
Uh, she's probably looking at the clock
on the wall.
655
00:37:46,510 --> 00:37:47,510
I don't think so.
656
00:37:47,670 --> 00:37:49,010
She's wearing a watch.
657
00:37:51,710 --> 00:37:52,710
So she is.
658
00:37:57,450 --> 00:38:03,330
Did you girls have fun?
659
00:38:03,550 --> 00:38:04,690
I did. Me too.
660
00:38:04,990 --> 00:38:07,150
Okay, wait. There's one more activity
tonight.
661
00:38:07,430 --> 00:38:12,510
What is it? The next item on the master
list of Christmas activities, holiday
662
00:38:12,510 --> 00:38:13,510
lights.
663
00:38:33,980 --> 00:38:39,640
real it's like looking at a fairy tale
when i was a girl we used to drive
664
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:46,520
neighborhoods with lots of christmas
lights it was magical did your family
665
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:50,660
christmas lights yeah we sure did we
used to get a big dusty box of
666
00:38:50,660 --> 00:38:53,020
down from the attic and the whole family
would pitch it
667
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:12,229
So happy.
668
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:13,230
Yeah.
669
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:15,150
Christmas can do that to people.
670
00:39:16,410 --> 00:39:18,510
Why don't we do things like that?
671
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:20,428
Like what?
672
00:39:20,430 --> 00:39:21,430
Eat dinner?
673
00:39:21,590 --> 00:39:22,590
We do.
674
00:39:23,490 --> 00:39:25,470
I mean like play board games.
675
00:39:25,770 --> 00:39:28,530
And we hardly ever go to see a movie
together.
676
00:39:29,610 --> 00:39:32,890
Well, you know how busy father can be.
677
00:39:33,990 --> 00:39:36,090
I think we should do more things
together.
678
00:39:36,490 --> 00:39:37,530
As a family.
679
00:39:43,340 --> 00:39:44,340
That could be nice.
680
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,920
Time to get you girls home for dinner.
681
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,880
Come on.
682
00:40:02,340 --> 00:40:04,620
Where on earth have you been?
683
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,800
What did you do to them?
684
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,720
Nothing. I just took them to the
community center, like I said. You never
685
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:27,120
me that you were going to the... No,
yes, maybe you did.
686
00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:30,640
Just now we went through the
neighborhood looking at Christmas
687
00:40:31,180 --> 00:40:32,580
I thought they would enjoy it.
688
00:40:33,060 --> 00:40:34,180
Lights wouldn't upset either.
689
00:40:34,420 --> 00:40:37,340
I think she thought of the families
through their living room window.
690
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,400
Seemed to make her, I don't know, wonder
about her own life.
691
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,040
Come with me.
692
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,520
Sensitive girl.
693
00:40:51,020 --> 00:40:55,980
And despite Mr. Church's efforts, his
schedule doesn't often allow him to
694
00:40:55,980 --> 00:40:58,740
the kinds of family scenes that she
apparently saw in that window.
695
00:40:59,220 --> 00:41:00,860
But kids need those moments.
696
00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:03,320
Well, the girls do have those moments.
697
00:41:03,580 --> 00:41:08,100
Mr. Church loves his daughters, but he
also runs an international organization.
698
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:13,040
My sister said, you know, the girls
won't be young forever.
699
00:41:13,420 --> 00:41:17,220
And every day that slips past without a
meaningful relationship with their
700
00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:20,070
father... It's a lost opportunity.
701
00:41:22,170 --> 00:41:24,090
David, would you mind if I went up and
talked to her?
702
00:41:24,890 --> 00:41:25,890
Please do.
703
00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:34,550
Mr.
704
00:41:35,970 --> 00:41:40,450
Church, we were just... Daniel, it's
okay.
705
00:41:41,370 --> 00:41:42,370
Allie's right.
706
00:41:43,570 --> 00:41:45,370
Kids do need moments like those.
707
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:50,680
I've been leaving it up to somebody else
to do something that I should have been
708
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,680
doing myself.
709
00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:00,140
Come in.
710
00:42:06,340 --> 00:42:09,940
Iris, I'm sorry if I did anything to
make you feel sad.
711
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,680
You didn't.
712
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,060
You were... I was just being silly.
713
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,160
Iris, no you weren't.
714
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,840
You were just saying what you were
feeling, and there's nothing silly about
715
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,840
that.
716
00:42:22,340 --> 00:42:23,340
Okay.
717
00:42:26,940 --> 00:42:29,540
Right now, I feel like I have a circus
tummy.
718
00:42:30,060 --> 00:42:31,060
What does that mean?
719
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,400
I mean, when I'm sad, my tummy feels
like it's doing flips.
720
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,040
Iris, can you maybe show me some of the
pictures you've drawn?
721
00:42:41,940 --> 00:42:43,420
No, they're silly, too.
722
00:42:58,930 --> 00:43:01,450
Incredible. Iris, please never stop
drawing.
723
00:43:02,350 --> 00:43:04,250
You have a genuine gift.
724
00:43:08,270 --> 00:43:09,410
Are you crying?
725
00:43:09,690 --> 00:43:11,490
Do my pictures make you feel sad?
726
00:43:12,970 --> 00:43:15,930
No. They make me very happy.
727
00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:19,690
Iris, you are an artist.
728
00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:54,080
An ornament is worth a fortune.
729
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,860
I was just looking at how pretty it is.
730
00:43:58,100 --> 00:43:59,600
Look, but don't touch.
731
00:44:02,980 --> 00:44:06,000
Wait, where are the ornaments that we
made?
732
00:44:06,380 --> 00:44:10,040
Oh, Iris, they really clash with the
aesthetic of the tree. I mean, you don't
733
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,600
want to ruin the organic wholeness of
the decor, right?
734
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,040
Where are they?
735
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Hmm.
736
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,000
Where did they go?
737
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,760
Yeah, I don't seem to recall.
738
00:44:24,910 --> 00:44:25,910
threw them away.
739
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:30,630
That's what I was... I rest.
740
00:44:41,090 --> 00:44:47,530
Everything changed when that woman
walked into our lives, Gordon.
741
00:44:47,790 --> 00:44:51,710
I mean, she has filled your house with
cheap decorations, and she has
742
00:44:51,710 --> 00:44:52,710
no respect.
743
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:57,040
For the amount of hours that I put into
decorating this magnificent tree.
744
00:44:57,500 --> 00:45:01,160
Oh, and worst of all, worst of all, she
has completely taken over the affections
745
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,160
of the girls.
746
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,080
Kimmy, the Santa Squad thing was your
idea.
747
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,820
You didn't want to have anything to do
with decorating the house or shopping
748
00:45:08,820 --> 00:45:09,820
presents. You said so yourself.
749
00:45:10,020 --> 00:45:11,760
I was planning our trip to the islands.
750
00:45:12,620 --> 00:45:15,080
And the girls respond to her because she
makes the effort.
751
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:17,580
I came to their nails once.
752
00:45:19,980 --> 00:45:23,080
Give me I have two daughters and
nothing's gonna change that fact and
753
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:28,860
honest spending time with them It hasn't
been your highest priority Is it yours
754
00:45:28,860 --> 00:45:29,860
Gordon?
755
00:45:31,460 --> 00:45:38,400
No, no, it hasn't been yes, exactly
Okay, and that's why I thought it might
756
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,720
be a good idea to consider boarding
school for the girls What I mean don't
757
00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:49,320
me wrong. I know the transition is gonna
be rough, but I thought I could help
758
00:45:49,470 --> 00:45:52,010
you with the transition by moving in.
759
00:45:56,810 --> 00:45:58,910
So you want my girls to move out so you
can move in?
760
00:45:59,430 --> 00:46:00,810
Yeah, it sounds like a win -win, doesn't
it?
761
00:46:02,830 --> 00:46:03,830
Actually, no.
762
00:46:04,170 --> 00:46:05,170
It doesn't.
763
00:46:09,070 --> 00:46:15,150
What are you... Gordon, what are you...
Gordon!
764
00:46:16,310 --> 00:46:17,310
Gordon!
765
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:19,610
He just... threw them away.
766
00:46:21,330 --> 00:46:22,330
It's horrible.
767
00:46:22,810 --> 00:46:24,210
Why can't you just leave?
768
00:46:25,370 --> 00:46:27,710
We need a Christmas miracle for that to
happen.
769
00:46:30,270 --> 00:46:31,270
Hey, girls.
770
00:46:33,050 --> 00:46:38,930
Uh, I just wanted to let you know that
Kimmy and I, we've ended our
771
00:46:38,930 --> 00:46:39,930
relationship.
772
00:46:40,770 --> 00:46:42,690
Nothing else is going to change. I'm
still here.
773
00:46:43,690 --> 00:46:46,870
My family's going to stay together, and
Christmas is going to go on as planned,
774
00:46:46,990 --> 00:46:47,990
okay?
775
00:46:48,780 --> 00:46:50,540
Just let me know if you have any
questions, all right?
776
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:56,460
Oh, uh, and tomorrow, we're going to go
find another tree.
777
00:46:57,500 --> 00:46:58,680
One that we can decorate ourselves.
778
00:46:59,580 --> 00:47:00,580
Really? Yeah.
779
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,280
Make sure to tell Allie.
780
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:07,360
Good night, you two.
781
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,960
Good night, Daddy. Good night, Daddy.
782
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,520
Kimmy's gone.
783
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,560
Best Christmas ever.
784
00:47:17,780 --> 00:47:18,780
I know.
785
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,700
We should get a big tree. We already
have a big tree.
786
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:25,560
Then we should get a bigger tree.
787
00:47:26,220 --> 00:47:29,460
Well, if it's too tall, we're going to
be making decorations for months trying
788
00:47:29,460 --> 00:47:30,178
to fill it.
789
00:47:30,180 --> 00:47:32,300
Whoa, that sounds like a lot of glitter.
790
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,300
Would it be against the rules if we
maybe bought a few decorations?
791
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,000
Yeah. Okay, okay.
792
00:47:40,620 --> 00:47:43,280
Rose and I are going to look over there
for Christmas trees.
793
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,060
But there's lots of trees right here.
794
00:47:45,340 --> 00:47:47,500
But I like the ones over there best.
795
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:49,058
Oh, right.
796
00:47:49,060 --> 00:47:52,240
Yes. Iris and I will be at the opposite
end of the lot.
797
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:56,020
Way over there, in case you were
wondering.
798
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,200
Duly noted.
799
00:48:00,060 --> 00:48:02,360
I think my girls are having some big
ideas.
800
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:03,720
Seems that way.
801
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,620
You know, when I was a kid, my father,
he used to shake the trees, and if the
802
00:48:07,620 --> 00:48:10,540
pine needles fell off, it meant that
they were old and that it was probably
803
00:48:10,540 --> 00:48:12,960
going to dry out. So it's almost like a
science.
804
00:48:14,020 --> 00:48:15,140
Give it a good shake.
805
00:48:15,580 --> 00:48:16,580
Work it out.
806
00:48:17,070 --> 00:48:18,650
You want to be a savvy consumer, right?
807
00:48:18,970 --> 00:48:19,970
Yeah.
808
00:48:20,250 --> 00:48:21,250
Uh, sir?
809
00:48:21,790 --> 00:48:23,930
Huh? Would you mind not shaking the
tree?
810
00:48:26,290 --> 00:48:29,670
Oh, sorry. Yeah, I was just being a
thief.
811
00:48:30,170 --> 00:48:33,770
Yeah, I know. It's an old wives' tale
about the pine needles dropping.
812
00:48:34,030 --> 00:48:35,270
Oh, trees become pre -treated nowadays.
813
00:48:36,870 --> 00:48:40,390
Really? Well, um, thank you very much.
814
00:48:40,990 --> 00:48:41,990
As you were.
815
00:48:42,110 --> 00:48:43,110
Carry on.
816
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,920
You learn something new every day.
817
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:50,600
Yep.
818
00:48:53,060 --> 00:48:54,820
I'm about to get us kicked out of this
place.
819
00:48:55,420 --> 00:48:56,420
They're smiling.
820
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:57,520
That's a good sign.
821
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,560
Are you sure they're not grimacing?
822
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,320
It's hard to tell the difference from
this far away.
823
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,040
Who grimaces in a tree lot?
824
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:06,720
Good point.
825
00:49:06,780 --> 00:49:08,100
They're probably smiling.
826
00:49:10,380 --> 00:49:13,060
Allie, I just want to say thank you for
spending so much time with the girls. I
827
00:49:13,060 --> 00:49:14,220
know it's not in the job description.
828
00:49:14,970 --> 00:49:17,510
I love being with them. They're so
interesting and sweet.
829
00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:19,490
They make the job a real pleasure.
830
00:49:20,310 --> 00:49:24,370
I'm not sure if you heard, but Kimmy and
I, we no longer see each other.
831
00:49:25,210 --> 00:49:26,250
Yes, I heard.
832
00:49:27,210 --> 00:49:29,330
Sorry. No, it's fine, really.
833
00:49:29,810 --> 00:49:30,930
It's been a long time coming.
834
00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:33,650
We haven't been in a good place for
months. You know, I think that she was a
835
00:49:33,650 --> 00:49:35,730
little bit jealous of the way that you
and the girls hit it off.
836
00:49:36,410 --> 00:49:37,970
Oh, I hope I didn't cause any problems.
837
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:40,870
No, no, actually you helped me see a
problem that was there from the very
838
00:49:40,870 --> 00:49:41,870
beginning.
839
00:49:44,660 --> 00:49:45,660
Excuse me.
840
00:49:51,860 --> 00:49:52,860
Good news?
841
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,700
We closed the deal with the Japanese.
842
00:49:55,300 --> 00:49:58,500
They love that we revised the
presentation based on your suggestion.
843
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:00,480
Thank you, Allie.
844
00:50:03,580 --> 00:50:04,680
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
845
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:08,600
I got a little carried away there. No,
it's perfectly fine.
846
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,060
I'm just glad I could help.
847
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:13,100
You know, it's funny.
848
00:50:14,379 --> 00:50:17,360
Sometimes the thing that you need is
right in front of you, but you just
849
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:18,360
see it.
850
00:50:18,660 --> 00:50:22,300
Yeah, and then when you do see it, you
can't believe you didn't realize it all
851
00:50:22,300 --> 00:50:23,300
along.
852
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:27,020
We found a tree!
853
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:29,600
It's the perfect size!
854
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:32,300
And we did that shaky thing you taught
us.
855
00:50:33,220 --> 00:50:36,060
I hope nobody saw you. They might have
us arrested.
856
00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:38,340
Show us! Show us!
857
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,940
Next up on the master list of Christmas
activities is tree decoration.
858
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:50,660
I never knew you could decorate a tree
with food.
859
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:57,960
Okay, so you take your needle and
thread, and you stick it in
860
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,320
the middle of each pop kernel, like
this.
861
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:03,920
Wow.
862
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,180
I'm having trouble getting my thread
through a needle.
863
00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:11,700
I believe this is mathematically
impossible.
864
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:19,000
Actually, if I remember an old trick my
mother taught me, take the needle, rub
865
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,420
the needle, thread back and forth like
so.
866
00:51:24,900 --> 00:51:26,860
Wow. Yay, Daddy.
867
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,080
Well, it came in handy when I was away
at college.
868
00:51:29,380 --> 00:51:30,380
Nicely done.
869
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:31,439
Thank you.
870
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,860
Okay, now we see who can thread the most
amount of popcorn in one minute.
871
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,220
Ready, set, go.
872
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:40,600
Go.
873
00:51:41,860 --> 00:51:42,860
This is dangerous.
874
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:44,620
I'm on one. Me too.
875
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:46,300
Not so fast.
876
00:51:46,620 --> 00:51:48,580
Not by the hair of my shitty chin skin.
877
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,920
Oh, look at you. Oh, man, am I ever slow
at this.
878
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:55,960
Okay, stop.
879
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:01,820
Oh, my God.
880
00:52:03,300 --> 00:52:04,420
Allie, you win.
881
00:52:04,980 --> 00:52:06,660
I think we all win, Iris.
882
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,700
And we had fun doing it.
883
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,200
So, who wants to do the honors?
884
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,120
Why don't you?
885
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:17,920
Why, thank you.
886
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:24,140
Wow.
887
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:26,320
Wow.
888
00:52:29,060 --> 00:52:30,400
It's so beautiful.
889
00:52:30,940 --> 00:52:32,080
Isn't it, Daddy?
890
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,220
It is, isn't it?
891
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,140
A competent addition to the Yule ritual.
892
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,840
Now we just need some presents to put
under the tree.
893
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,180
They've all been ordered. They should be
coming by delivery this week.
894
00:52:44,700 --> 00:52:47,880
I know, but I have something a little
different in mind.
895
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,480
Really? Like what?
896
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:54,340
The next item on the master list of
Christmas activities, shopping for
897
00:52:55,020 --> 00:52:57,200
But I'm sorry, you're not allowed to
participate.
898
00:52:58,060 --> 00:53:00,220
What? Girls only, Daddy.
899
00:53:00,900 --> 00:53:01,900
Okay, fine.
900
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,360
Then I will just stay here and popcorn
by myself.
901
00:53:06,890 --> 00:53:10,010
Father's becoming quite silly. I know,
and I love that.
902
00:53:16,090 --> 00:53:17,330
All right.
903
00:53:19,930 --> 00:53:24,370
So, your mission today is to find and
buy Christmas presents for your father.
904
00:53:24,670 --> 00:53:27,910
We're just going to have to find him a
gift that surprises him. Can we do that?
905
00:53:28,410 --> 00:53:30,530
Yes. Okay, let's do it.
906
00:53:39,050 --> 00:53:40,050
What is it, Iris?
907
00:53:41,950 --> 00:53:43,810
$2 for four photos.
908
00:53:44,570 --> 00:53:47,510
A nice frame costs $30 plus tax.
909
00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:49,950
Nice!
910
00:53:53,830 --> 00:53:55,110
Okay, how about a big smile?
911
00:53:56,450 --> 00:53:58,750
Oh, come on, Rose. Can't you do better
than that?
912
00:53:59,150 --> 00:54:02,630
Smiling is a zygomatic response
involving multiple muscle systems.
913
00:54:03,050 --> 00:54:05,230
It would be obvious if I only pretend to
smile.
914
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,380
Okay, well, what if I told you I failed
high school algebra and biology?
915
00:54:12,220 --> 00:54:13,480
That's nearly impossible.
916
00:54:19,180 --> 00:54:20,460
Allie, one picture left.
917
00:54:20,700 --> 00:54:23,840
Come in and join us. Oh, no, I
shouldn't. This is your gift.
918
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:26,020
I would like to have one of the three of
us, please.
919
00:54:26,620 --> 00:54:27,620
Okay.
920
00:54:40,780 --> 00:54:44,360
Gosh, look at that one. Look at you.
921
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,420
Oh, he's going to love this, guys. Look.
922
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,000
Hey, girls, look. It's snowing.
923
00:54:58,100 --> 00:55:00,580
Let's build snowmen. And snowwomen.
924
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,360
Hey, so you take a little snowball like
this.
925
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,680
And you roll it on the ground little by
little.
926
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,480
I'm going to get my knee on the plush.
927
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,420
It's getting so big.
928
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,200
The heat of the rolling motion burns the
ice crystals.
929
00:55:27,260 --> 00:55:28,380
That's so cool.
930
00:55:31,660 --> 00:55:33,660
I wish Daddy could see me.
931
00:55:35,980 --> 00:55:37,440
I do see you, Iris.
932
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,320
You didn't think I was going to let you
make snowmen without me, did you?
933
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:47,620
Here, give this a roll.
934
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,100
Okay, thank you very much.
935
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:50,520
You guys are doing a good job.
936
00:55:51,180 --> 00:55:54,660
Okay, so do you think you guys, we can
put this thing together?
937
00:55:55,020 --> 00:55:59,120
Yeah. Okay, yeah, it looks like you get
the head. I have the body.
938
00:55:59,660 --> 00:56:00,740
Roll it on over.
939
00:56:00,980 --> 00:56:01,980
It's cold out here.
940
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,480
Okay, so there we go.
941
00:56:05,980 --> 00:56:06,980
Ready? Yeah.
942
00:56:12,330 --> 00:56:17,090
pack it in there okay on the count of
three let's let this guy go and see if
943
00:56:17,090 --> 00:56:20,510
stands okay you ready one two three
944
00:56:20,510 --> 00:56:26,490
we're gonna yeah we have to work on that
a little bit
945
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,120
It's a snow family.
946
00:56:46,860 --> 00:56:48,580
Not quite.
947
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:50,160
Who's that?
948
00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:53,700
Dolly.
949
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:56,080
May I?
950
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:00,100
You may.
951
00:57:05,700 --> 00:57:07,720
Want this?
952
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:10,280
Here you go.
953
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:12,720
Okay, you guys, maybe.
954
00:57:13,279 --> 00:57:15,220
Help me make it look good. There.
955
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:17,340
Sort of just straighten this out a
little bit.
956
00:57:18,580 --> 00:57:20,320
There you go.
957
00:57:22,980 --> 00:57:23,980
Does that look like Ellie?
958
00:57:24,540 --> 00:57:26,040
A little bit? A little bit, yeah.
959
00:57:27,380 --> 00:57:29,400
Right. Now it's a snow family.
960
00:57:29,980 --> 00:57:30,980
Well, hang on.
961
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:34,100
We need snow angels to keep watch over
the snow family.
962
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,000
a medical incident?
963
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,080
No, silly.
964
00:57:48,820 --> 00:57:49,820
See?
965
00:57:52,940 --> 00:57:53,940
No, Angel.
966
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:56,140
How about you, Gordon?
967
00:57:57,220 --> 00:58:03,180
Oh, no, this is cashmere. I got it in
London and it costs like... Oh, no.
968
00:58:06,860 --> 00:58:08,300
You know, who cares how much it costs?
969
00:58:09,900 --> 00:58:14,320
I still, Angel, is.
970
00:58:17,779 --> 00:58:19,740
You know what would go great with hot
cocoa?
971
00:58:21,140 --> 00:58:24,740
I'm not sure, but I'll bet it's next to
the master list of Christmas activities.
972
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,140
You are correct.
973
00:58:26,340 --> 00:58:27,460
Making Christmas cookies.
974
00:58:28,100 --> 00:58:30,860
Do you have cinnamon and sprinkles?
975
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,220
I'm going to go on a limb and say no.
976
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:36,920
Okay, you know what? That's okay. I have
everything we need back at my place, so
977
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:38,440
I'll just pop on over and come right
back.
978
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:39,700
Great.
979
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:44,940
It's so funny when you made your snow
angels.
980
00:58:45,180 --> 00:58:46,400
Yeah, but wasn't it so cold?
981
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,200
My bottom is so frozen.
982
00:58:49,100 --> 00:58:50,100
Me too.
983
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:53,760
We had a problem.
984
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:55,860
My car battery died.
985
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,660
So, no cookies?
986
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,040
Three not.
987
00:58:59,820 --> 00:59:01,880
Wait, Dad, you have a car?
988
00:59:02,940 --> 00:59:06,500
Yeah, but I don't think that that's...
Why don't you drive Allie to her
989
00:59:06,500 --> 00:59:09,680
apartment and you can pick up the
ingredients and we can start baking in
990
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,480
morning. No, girls, that's okay. I can
just call someone to jumpstart my car.
991
00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:14,660
It'll only take a few hours.
992
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,660
Father, the chivalrous thing would be to
offer to drive Allie. Oh, phone.
993
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:21,000
We insist.
994
00:59:21,700 --> 00:59:24,520
In fact, Daniel was just going to watch
a movie with us.
995
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:25,880
I was?
996
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:28,880
Oh, oh, yes, of course.
997
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,300
Santa something or other. Mm -hmm.
998
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,220
Why don't you both go have dinner
somewhere together?
999
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,860
Girls. We don't mind.
1000
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:39,420
You're going to get the ingredients
anyway, right?
1001
00:59:40,430 --> 00:59:44,210
Well, I once heard that you should never
get ingredients for baking cookies on
1002
00:59:44,210 --> 00:59:45,210
an empty stomach.
1003
00:59:45,830 --> 00:59:48,830
Really? I don't think I've ever heard
that one before. I think I read it in a
1004
00:59:48,830 --> 00:59:50,090
medical magazine.
1005
00:59:50,510 --> 00:59:51,510
Oh.
1006
00:59:52,070 --> 00:59:53,510
I think we're outnumbered.
1007
00:59:55,410 --> 00:59:59,790
Allie, may I please escort you to your
apartment where we can locate many
1008
00:59:59,790 --> 01:00:00,790
delicious ingredients?
1009
01:00:01,450 --> 01:00:02,450
And dinner?
1010
01:00:04,270 --> 01:00:05,990
I'll see what I can whip up.
1011
01:00:13,100 --> 01:00:15,580
I had no idea that my girls could be so
conniving.
1012
01:00:15,820 --> 01:00:19,160
Yeah. Well, kids have skills that would
put carnival con men to shame.
1013
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:21,080
Well, here's to them.
1014
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:22,240
To the girls.
1015
01:00:26,820 --> 01:00:30,820
Oh, I'm so sorry. I have no idea how old
that boy is. Oh, fine.
1016
01:00:31,060 --> 01:00:32,460
Totally fine. Thank you. Okay.
1017
01:00:38,180 --> 01:00:39,240
Here you go. Thank you.
1018
01:00:41,230 --> 01:00:44,170
Actually, you know, this gives me a
chance to thank you again for letting me
1019
01:00:44,170 --> 01:00:45,170
work with the girls.
1020
01:00:45,230 --> 01:00:48,530
I know it wasn't exactly on the Santa
Squad to -do list, but they're really
1021
01:00:48,530 --> 01:00:50,610
great. I've really enjoyed spending time
with them.
1022
01:00:50,870 --> 01:00:52,110
Well, they like being around you, too.
1023
01:00:56,530 --> 01:00:59,930
Ali, my wife has been gone for most of
the girls' lives.
1024
01:01:00,270 --> 01:01:01,570
She died a long time ago.
1025
01:01:01,890 --> 01:01:02,890
I'm so sorry.
1026
01:01:04,970 --> 01:01:07,090
This week, I've seen a spark.
1027
01:01:07,940 --> 01:01:11,160
And the girls that I have not seen in a
very, very long time.
1028
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,920
Yeah, they're just getting excited for
Christmas.
1029
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:15,720
That's part of it.
1030
01:01:17,220 --> 01:01:18,480
But mostly it's because of you.
1031
01:01:22,180 --> 01:01:28,780
Gordon, please don't take this
personally, but have you put any thought
1032
01:01:28,780 --> 01:01:30,040
spending some more time with the girls?
1033
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,160
I mean, after Christmas is over?
1034
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,020
Of course, it's on my mind all the time.
1035
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:36,940
I think it's on theirs, too.
1036
01:01:38,990 --> 01:01:40,870
Really? Did they say something to you?
1037
01:01:41,210 --> 01:01:44,030
Not in so many words, but I can tell.
1038
01:01:46,270 --> 01:01:49,010
It's just my schedule, you know? It's
impossible.
1039
01:01:49,990 --> 01:01:53,690
You have the ability to say yes or no to
meetings and trips, though, right?
1040
01:01:55,010 --> 01:01:56,010
Yeah.
1041
01:01:56,970 --> 01:02:00,890
When I was a kid, my family, we had
nothing.
1042
01:02:01,310 --> 01:02:05,150
When Christmas came around, as a kid,
all I wanted was this one bike.
1043
01:02:06,410 --> 01:02:09,330
They called them spider bikes. They had
these really long seats that were
1044
01:02:09,330 --> 01:02:12,510
amazing, these high handlebars, and
every other kid in the neighborhood had
1045
01:02:12,510 --> 01:02:13,510
but not me.
1046
01:02:14,050 --> 01:02:19,230
And I told myself that when I grew up,
I'd be able to buy myself one of those
1047
01:02:19,230 --> 01:02:20,230
bikes.
1048
01:02:20,990 --> 01:02:27,270
So I set out to create my business, my
company, and I worked very, very hard,
1049
01:02:27,310 --> 01:02:28,450
and eventually I became CEO.
1050
01:02:29,970 --> 01:02:31,170
Did you ever get that bike?
1051
01:02:32,010 --> 01:02:33,010
No, no.
1052
01:02:34,030 --> 01:02:38,350
No, by the time I was successful, I was
too old to care about it anymore. But my
1053
01:02:38,350 --> 01:02:42,370
point is that my girls will never go
without.
1054
01:02:43,670 --> 01:02:47,590
And they will know that I cared enough
about them to help them become self
1055
01:02:47,590 --> 01:02:48,590
-sufficient.
1056
01:02:49,870 --> 01:02:50,870
And loved.
1057
01:02:52,730 --> 01:02:53,730
Yes.
1058
01:02:54,490 --> 01:02:55,490
And loved.
1059
01:03:04,830 --> 01:03:08,290
The ingredients are up here in the top
shelf. Okay, we should definitely grab
1060
01:03:08,290 --> 01:03:10,930
those. Here, I can get those. Oh, no,
no, no. I can reach. It's fine.
1061
01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:14,630
Oh. Oh.
1062
01:03:18,010 --> 01:03:18,948
It's okay.
1063
01:03:18,950 --> 01:03:19,950
Yeah.
1064
01:03:21,950 --> 01:03:25,410
Um, I think my car battery's probably
replaced by now.
1065
01:03:26,690 --> 01:03:28,050
Yeah, we should probably get back to the
house.
1066
01:03:29,490 --> 01:03:30,830
I'll put these ingredients in a bag.
1067
01:03:33,740 --> 01:03:34,740
I will meet you downstairs.
1068
01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:44,700
Thank you.
1069
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,960
Put the groceries away, and tomorrow
morning we can make cookies.
1070
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:49,880
Okay. Sounds good.
1071
01:03:51,940 --> 01:03:52,940
Good night.
1072
01:03:53,820 --> 01:03:54,820
Good night.
1073
01:04:13,930 --> 01:04:16,210
I'll be heading home, sir, if there's
nothing else.
1074
01:04:16,530 --> 01:04:20,370
Yeah, that's fine, Daniel. You have an
early morning meeting downtown, so
1075
01:04:20,370 --> 01:04:22,130
I send the car? No, no, no, I'll just
drive myself.
1076
01:04:24,250 --> 01:04:25,990
Was the dinner productive?
1077
01:04:27,510 --> 01:04:28,510
Yeah, yeah.
1078
01:04:28,650 --> 01:04:29,650
Got what we needed.
1079
01:04:30,810 --> 01:04:31,810
I see.
1080
01:04:33,950 --> 01:04:34,950
What's that supposed to mean?
1081
01:04:35,850 --> 01:04:37,810
Well, I've known you for quite a long
time, sir.
1082
01:04:38,610 --> 01:04:42,730
Well, not to speak out of time, but it
does seem to me that she has caught your
1083
01:04:42,730 --> 01:04:43,730
attention.
1084
01:04:46,190 --> 01:04:47,190
She is.
1085
01:04:49,430 --> 01:04:51,270
It's nice to see you happy, sir.
1086
01:05:03,810 --> 01:05:04,910
Hey, sailor.
1087
01:05:05,490 --> 01:05:07,170
Buy a lady a cup of coffee?
1088
01:05:07,850 --> 01:05:09,530
Oh, how do you take it?
1089
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:11,990
Hot?
1090
01:05:12,610 --> 01:05:14,410
One hot cup of coffee coming up.
1091
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:18,280
Thanks.
1092
01:05:20,300 --> 01:05:26,960
Say, did you know that in Taiwan, the
rhesus monkeys get all the sweetest,
1093
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,380
coffee beans and they shoot them up and
they spit them out?
1094
01:05:31,300 --> 01:05:32,238
Is that right?
1095
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,720
Yeah, and then the humans come along and
they gather up all those seeds and they
1096
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,440
roast them for maximum flavor.
1097
01:05:38,380 --> 01:05:40,380
Well, that's absolutely fascinating.
1098
01:05:42,460 --> 01:05:43,460
Tell me more.
1099
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:01,040
Okay, the successful creation of
Christmas cookies is all about timing
1100
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:05,400
preparation. Some common mistakes,
making your dough but forgetting to
1101
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,580
your pan, or icing the cookies when
they're still too warm.
1102
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,700
Go ahead and mix this up.
1103
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:32,280
With this?
1104
01:06:32,580 --> 01:06:36,060
No, with your hands. It's important to
get the mixture just right.
1105
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,980
Oh, it feels like primordial goo.
1106
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:46,100
Okay, that's good. We want to keep
rolling it until the goo feels more like
1107
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:47,900
glop. Glop?
1108
01:06:48,660 --> 01:06:51,060
Then they're ready to be dipped in the
cinnamon sugar.
1109
01:06:55,690 --> 01:06:57,350
Rose, you're making them too big.
1110
01:06:57,550 --> 01:07:00,410
How do you know I'm not making a
gigantic cookie pie?
1111
01:07:00,790 --> 01:07:01,790
Are you?
1112
01:07:02,070 --> 01:07:03,070
No.
1113
01:07:05,550 --> 01:07:06,550
Rose,
1114
01:07:13,710 --> 01:07:14,710
that is so clever.
1115
01:07:16,510 --> 01:07:21,510
It's a cookie pyramid. If my hypothesis
is correct, the weight displacement of
1116
01:07:21,510 --> 01:07:23,870
the foundation will support at least six
levels.
1117
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:25,680
That's so cool.
1118
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,440
Whoa, it's so big.
1119
01:07:37,380 --> 01:07:39,680
Okay, that should just about do it.
1120
01:07:40,700 --> 01:07:44,480
Time to pop that pyramid in the oven.
Rose, why don't you do it since it's
1121
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,620
creation. Just make sure you get the
oven mixed because the shelf will be
1122
01:08:00,330 --> 01:08:01,330
Don't forget the top.
1123
01:08:01,970 --> 01:08:02,970
I will.
1124
01:08:06,050 --> 01:08:08,870
Okay, 15 minutes and we will have a
cookie pyramid.
1125
01:08:09,330 --> 01:08:10,330
Okay. Come on.
1126
01:08:14,250 --> 01:08:17,330
So what was your favorite Christmas when
you were little, Allie?
1127
01:08:17,930 --> 01:08:18,930
Oh, my gosh.
1128
01:08:19,270 --> 01:08:20,689
I've always loved this time of year.
1129
01:08:21,950 --> 01:08:26,550
I guess one of my favorites was when I
was a little younger than you.
1130
01:08:27,470 --> 01:08:31,050
I woke up early on Christmas morning and
I crept downstairs to find my dad
1131
01:08:31,050 --> 01:08:33,770
asleep on the floor, snoring like a jet
engine.
1132
01:08:40,290 --> 01:08:44,529
He had stayed up all night to put
together this Victorian dollhouse I'd
1133
01:08:44,529 --> 01:08:45,529
for.
1134
01:08:45,670 --> 01:08:48,870
He was all thumbs. He couldn't replace a
light bulb without hurting himself.
1135
01:08:50,010 --> 01:08:51,670
But it didn't matter.
1136
01:08:51,970 --> 01:08:56,170
Somehow he built this dollhouse and it,
oh, it was so beautiful.
1137
01:08:56,970 --> 01:08:57,970
Every little detail.
1138
01:08:58,270 --> 01:08:59,569
Fire! What's that?
1139
01:08:59,830 --> 01:09:00,830
What's that?
1140
01:09:01,189 --> 01:09:02,189
Fire!
1141
01:09:02,510 --> 01:09:03,510
Fire!
1142
01:09:06,029 --> 01:09:07,029
Now,
1143
01:09:12,930 --> 01:09:14,370
here's your culprit.
1144
01:09:15,390 --> 01:09:17,569
Somebody forgot to take the oven mitt
out.
1145
01:09:19,890 --> 01:09:21,990
I'm positive I didn't leave that in
there.
1146
01:09:22,649 --> 01:09:23,649
Girls?
1147
01:09:24,689 --> 01:09:25,689
Oh, you're okay.
1148
01:09:29,870 --> 01:09:31,350
Dad, you're squeezing me.
1149
01:09:34,270 --> 01:09:38,770
Gordon, I... There's mostly smoke
damage, but if that fire had gotten any
1150
01:09:38,770 --> 01:09:41,950
larger, the gas line would have caught,
and then we'd have had a really serious
1151
01:09:41,950 --> 01:09:45,210
problem. I don't know how this happened.
Ellie, how could you?
1152
01:09:45,850 --> 01:09:48,830
Did you even stop to think how dangerous
a fire could be to my girls? How could
1153
01:09:48,830 --> 01:09:49,830
you be so careless?
1154
01:09:49,990 --> 01:09:51,410
You could have burnt down the whole
house.
1155
01:09:51,890 --> 01:09:54,050
But I... Look, I'm sorry.
1156
01:09:55,790 --> 01:09:56,790
This is unacceptable.
1157
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:01,280
You don't hear it.
1158
01:10:33,460 --> 01:10:38,840
guess, guess who might be possibly
having a potential date. Maybe.
1159
01:10:41,300 --> 01:10:44,220
Well, don't get yourself too excited.
You might pass out.
1160
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,320
I'm sorry, Connie. I'm just, I'm in a
mood.
1161
01:10:47,980 --> 01:10:49,140
Did you get bad news?
1162
01:10:49,780 --> 01:10:50,820
You could say that.
1163
01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:55,440
I'm sorry. Here I am running off at my
mouth about myself and your suffering.
1164
01:10:56,260 --> 01:10:58,000
Would you like to talk about it or?
1165
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:06,520
There you are.
1166
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:09,780
I was wondering if you want to go catch
a movie.
1167
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,840
No, thank you. I'm busy.
1168
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,320
Really? Because I think they're playing
that funny Christmas one, the one with
1169
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,660
the snowman who comes to life.
1170
01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:21,160
I have to finish my drawing.
1171
01:11:22,460 --> 01:11:23,460
Okay.
1172
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:27,440
You want to string some more popcorn for
the tree?
1173
01:11:28,140 --> 01:11:30,580
I'm tired. I'm going to have to turn in
early tonight.
1174
01:11:31,480 --> 01:11:34,780
And I'm also tired. I'm going to turn in
early for the night.
1175
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,440
Look, this can be a rough time of year.
1176
01:11:44,100 --> 01:11:45,100
I'll say.
1177
01:11:46,740 --> 01:11:51,100
Say, do you want to hit the town just us
two single ladies? I do a mean cha
1178
01:11:51,100 --> 01:11:52,100
-cha.
1179
01:11:52,460 --> 01:11:53,980
Oh, I don't feel like dancing.
1180
01:11:54,460 --> 01:11:56,100
I hardly feel like walking.
1181
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,560
You really are low, aren't you?
1182
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,460
I'm feeling sorry for myself.
1183
01:12:02,260 --> 01:12:05,640
Because you care about someone and
you're afraid they don't feel the same
1184
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,640
No, they do. He does.
1185
01:12:09,500 --> 01:12:10,500
I think.
1186
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,780
Really? Then why are you here instead of
there?
1187
01:12:14,740 --> 01:12:15,740
It's complicated.
1188
01:12:16,220 --> 01:12:20,000
You know, people get their heart set on
something and they hang on to it with
1189
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:20,759
both hands.
1190
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:24,880
Even if they know it just might not come
true. Because it gives them a feeling
1191
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:26,080
of hope.
1192
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,380
So, I should let go of my dreams?
1193
01:12:31,820 --> 01:12:34,440
No, no, no, not at all. Hang on to your
dreams.
1194
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,940
I mean, hopes and dreams and wishes are
the...
1195
01:12:39,330 --> 01:12:42,290
The ingredients you need to still have
faith in something.
1196
01:12:44,110 --> 01:12:48,010
But what if people don't have the same
faith you do?
1197
01:12:49,190 --> 01:12:52,070
Well, miracles have been known to happen
this time of year.
1198
01:12:55,470 --> 01:12:58,930
Anyway, do you want to stick around for
the caroling? Tony's dressing up as
1199
01:12:58,930 --> 01:13:00,210
Santa. I can't wait to see him.
1200
01:13:01,010 --> 01:13:04,010
Thank you, but I have to get back to the
house. I have to pick up my last
1201
01:13:04,010 --> 01:13:05,010
paycheck.
1202
01:13:05,410 --> 01:13:06,410
Okay.
1203
01:13:06,870 --> 01:13:09,370
Hang in there, Allie. You'll figure it
out, honey.
1204
01:13:09,710 --> 01:13:10,710
You will.
1205
01:13:11,110 --> 01:13:12,110
Okay.
1206
01:13:15,910 --> 01:13:19,730
I miss Allie.
1207
01:13:19,930 --> 01:13:22,170
It isn't fair that we don't get to see
her.
1208
01:13:23,210 --> 01:13:27,030
Grown -ups can make as many rules as
they want, and kids have to follow them.
1209
01:13:28,450 --> 01:13:32,430
When I grow up, I'm never going to tell
my kids that they can't see anyone they
1210
01:13:32,430 --> 01:13:36,120
love. Everybody thinks when they grow up
they remember what it's like to be
1211
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,120
young.
1212
01:13:37,180 --> 01:13:38,220
But they never do.
1213
01:13:40,060 --> 01:13:43,620
Just because Ellie made one mistake
doesn't mean that we get punishment.
1214
01:13:46,820 --> 01:13:49,480
I think I'm the one who left the oven
mitt in the oven.
1215
01:13:50,340 --> 01:13:51,340
Really?
1216
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:57,520
Yes. I've thought about it a hundred
times and... I'm pretty sure that was my
1217
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,520
oven mitt.
1218
01:13:59,660 --> 01:14:01,420
I should say something to Father.
1219
01:14:03,090 --> 01:14:04,850
Okay, let's go tell Daddy now.
1220
01:14:13,150 --> 01:14:14,150
Father?
1221
01:14:14,770 --> 01:14:15,770
What is it, girls?
1222
01:14:18,010 --> 01:14:19,590
We have something to tell you.
1223
01:14:37,850 --> 01:14:39,770
I know, I know, I know.
1224
01:14:40,090 --> 01:14:41,750
I was just coming to get my paycheck.
1225
01:14:42,410 --> 01:14:43,410
I see.
1226
01:14:43,510 --> 01:14:46,770
Well, if you don't mind waiting here,
I'll go and get it. I'm Daniel.
1227
01:14:48,070 --> 01:14:49,070
How are the girls?
1228
01:14:49,810 --> 01:14:53,030
Well, of course, they're both sad over
this recent turn in events.
1229
01:14:54,430 --> 01:14:56,110
And, um, Gordon?
1230
01:14:57,450 --> 01:15:00,050
Well, I don't usually talk about my
employer behind his back.
1231
01:15:00,330 --> 01:15:04,390
But in my opinion, Mr. Church is not
entirely pleased with the way things
1232
01:15:04,390 --> 01:15:05,269
turned out.
1233
01:15:05,270 --> 01:15:06,490
I know, I feel...
1234
01:15:06,700 --> 01:15:10,800
terrible about the fire i completely
understand why he reacted the way he did
1235
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:17,260
would you just let him know i would
never do anything to harm those girls
1236
01:15:17,260 --> 01:15:21,160
sorry that something happened while they
were in my care i'm sure he knows all
1237
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,820
that but i will let him know anyway
1238
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:38,060
Thank you for telling me that, girls.
1239
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,460
I think you should go talk to her.
1240
01:15:40,780 --> 01:15:43,900
You know, sometimes you need to think
about the bigger picture, not just the
1241
01:15:43,900 --> 01:15:44,900
things that you want.
1242
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,600
But this thing makes all of us happy.
1243
01:15:48,220 --> 01:15:49,220
Yeah.
1244
01:15:54,700 --> 01:15:56,840
Oh, good evening, sir.
1245
01:15:58,060 --> 01:15:59,760
Daniel, are you going somewhere?
1246
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,820
Uh, just out for a breath of fresh air.
1247
01:16:04,460 --> 01:16:05,460
Ah.
1248
01:16:05,710 --> 01:16:06,830
But it's freezing outside.
1249
01:16:07,170 --> 01:16:09,390
And you don't even have a coat on.
1250
01:16:09,650 --> 01:16:11,050
Well, you know me.
1251
01:16:12,570 --> 01:16:13,790
Like a polar bear.
1252
01:16:15,830 --> 01:16:18,070
You're going outside?
1253
01:16:18,510 --> 01:16:19,510
Yes.
1254
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:40,760
I knew you'd come back.
1255
01:16:41,340 --> 01:16:43,820
I'm not back. I'm just here to pick up
my last paycheck.
1256
01:16:45,220 --> 01:16:46,400
But we miss you.
1257
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:51,700
I'm so sorry. I just came to get my
check. I didn't want to disturb you.
1258
01:16:51,700 --> 01:16:54,420
not disturbing us, Allie. We want you to
come back.
1259
01:16:54,660 --> 01:16:56,620
I'm sorry, sweetie. I can't come back.
1260
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,840
I know it's complicated, but I have to
go now.
1261
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:01,840
That's not true.
1262
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:03,000
Yes, it is, Rose.
1263
01:17:03,580 --> 01:17:04,580
And I...
1264
01:17:06,830 --> 01:17:07,769
Oh, no.
1265
01:17:07,770 --> 01:17:08,770
What's the matter?
1266
01:17:09,170 --> 01:17:11,230
Oh, my friend Bill is in the hospital.
1267
01:17:21,170 --> 01:17:22,610
That's the old man I sat with.
1268
01:17:23,150 --> 01:17:24,470
He's my friend, too.
1269
01:17:25,050 --> 01:17:28,350
Girls, we can't just go barging into an
emergency scenario with someone we
1270
01:17:28,350 --> 01:17:29,350
barely know.
1271
01:17:30,410 --> 01:17:34,230
He's over 80 years old. He served on a
cruiser in the war.
1272
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,060
Then he drove a bus for 30 years.
1273
01:17:49,060 --> 01:17:50,760
Okay, come on. Let's go get our coats.
1274
01:17:59,980 --> 01:18:02,980
Um, excuse me. I'm here to see Bill
McCullough. Ali!
1275
01:18:03,950 --> 01:18:04,950
Thanks for coming.
1276
01:18:05,010 --> 01:18:05,929
How is he?
1277
01:18:05,930 --> 01:18:08,910
When I found him, he was just lying
there. I couldn't wake him up. They
1278
01:18:08,910 --> 01:18:09,910
it's something to do with his heart?
1279
01:18:10,250 --> 01:18:11,250
Allie!
1280
01:18:15,190 --> 01:18:16,190
They insisted.
1281
01:18:16,430 --> 01:18:17,430
Is he going to be okay?
1282
01:18:18,410 --> 01:18:19,430
You don't know yet, honey.
1283
01:18:22,070 --> 01:18:23,070
It's okay.
1284
01:18:27,950 --> 01:18:28,970
I'm so dumb.
1285
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,860
I just sat there and made eyes at him
all that time, and I could have just
1286
01:18:32,860 --> 01:18:34,340
up to him and told him how I felt.
1287
01:18:35,860 --> 01:18:39,820
Sometimes telling someone how you feel
is the hardest thing to do.
1288
01:18:45,420 --> 01:18:46,660
Now it might be too late.
1289
01:18:47,060 --> 01:18:48,180
Hey, don't say that.
1290
01:18:48,740 --> 01:18:51,320
Bill's a strong guy. He's not going to
let anything knock him down.
1291
01:18:53,780 --> 01:18:55,580
Oh, Gordon, you should take the girls
home.
1292
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,360
It's officially Christmas Eve.
1293
01:18:57,680 --> 01:18:58,648
I tried.
1294
01:18:58,650 --> 01:18:59,650
I didn't get anywhere.
1295
01:19:00,030 --> 01:19:02,370
I'm not going anywhere until I know he's
okay.
1296
01:19:02,830 --> 01:19:04,190
Rose, that could take days.
1297
01:19:05,190 --> 01:19:06,690
I'm young. I have time.
1298
01:19:13,650 --> 01:19:17,830
Allie, about yesterday... Excuse me,
that's my cue.
1299
01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:20,530
You don't have to say anything.
1300
01:19:21,270 --> 01:19:26,110
Yes, I do. I overreacted and I feel
terrible about it.
1301
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:30,000
You're right, though. They're your
girls. They mean everything to you. You
1302
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,000
a lot to me, too.
1303
01:19:36,340 --> 01:19:39,260
I know this is not the right time or
place, obviously.
1304
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,380
But you've come to mean more to me than
just someone to decorate the house, to
1305
01:19:46,380 --> 01:19:47,660
wrap presents.
1306
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,720
You've brought light into our lives,
Allie.
1307
01:19:55,500 --> 01:19:56,680
I don't know what to say.
1308
01:19:59,660 --> 01:20:01,820
You've shown me things that are right in
front of me.
1309
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,120
Things that I haven't paid enough
attention to until now.
1310
01:20:27,759 --> 01:20:30,160
Iris, I didn't know that you could draw
like that.
1311
01:20:31,620 --> 01:20:34,800
I thought if I told you, you wouldn't
let me anymore.
1312
01:20:36,740 --> 01:20:37,920
No, this is amazing.
1313
01:20:40,980 --> 01:20:41,980
Hey,
1314
01:20:42,820 --> 01:20:43,820
what's wrong?
1315
01:20:44,700 --> 01:20:47,340
I lied about being able to play the
flute.
1316
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:50,600
Well, that's okay.
1317
01:20:53,380 --> 01:20:54,380
It's okay.
1318
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:12,520
Hello.
1319
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:15,760
Good morning.
1320
01:21:16,180 --> 01:21:17,180
Is he okay?
1321
01:21:17,980 --> 01:21:19,040
Are you family?
1322
01:21:20,980 --> 01:21:22,620
Yeah, yeah, yes we are.
1323
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,360
There's my little encyclopedia.
1324
01:21:29,820 --> 01:21:30,759
Oh, you're okay.
1325
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,740
Yeah, just a little mixed up with my
meds. I have to remember to keep my
1326
01:21:34,740 --> 01:21:36,700
cheaters on when I'm looking at those
bottles.
1327
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:38,380
Bill, I...
1328
01:21:38,670 --> 01:21:41,790
So worried about you. Don't ever do that
to me again.
1329
01:21:42,150 --> 01:21:43,890
The girls insist that we stay the night.
1330
01:21:44,750 --> 01:21:48,510
Really? Oh, that's about the nicest
Christmas present I ever got.
1331
01:21:48,970 --> 01:21:49,970
Aside from you.
1332
01:21:51,510 --> 01:21:54,510
Well, the nurses said they were
discharging you today. I was wondering
1333
01:21:54,510 --> 01:21:59,370
and everyone would care to join us at
our house tomorrow for Christmas dinner.
1334
01:22:00,610 --> 01:22:03,150
Oh, I'll have to think about that for a
minute. Yes.
1335
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,119
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1336
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:19,120
Say that again.
1337
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,900
House flies buzz in the key of F. Thumb
sharks glow in the dark. Bats turn left
1338
01:22:24,900 --> 01:22:25,900
when they leave a cave.
1339
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:27,660
Butterflies taste with their feet.
1340
01:22:28,540 --> 01:22:31,600
She's pretty amazing, isn't she? Yeah,
you can say that again.
1341
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:33,300
Sorry, are you connected to Wi -Fi?
1342
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:34,520
No.
1343
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:35,840
She might be at Google.
1344
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:37,760
I've got to get a library card.
1345
01:22:41,420 --> 01:22:42,420
Ho,
1346
01:22:42,700 --> 01:22:43,960
ho, ho, ho.
1347
01:22:45,090 --> 01:22:46,090
Merry Christmas!
1348
01:22:50,910 --> 01:22:53,770
Thank you for the suit, by the way. Hey,
no problem.
1349
01:22:54,690 --> 01:22:57,050
I have got some presents for you guys.
1350
01:22:57,850 --> 01:22:59,390
This is for you.
1351
01:23:02,410 --> 01:23:03,990
And that's for you. Thank you.
1352
01:23:10,890 --> 01:23:15,850
have heard that everybody in this room
has been very good this year so
1353
01:23:15,850 --> 01:23:22,590
gets a present bill i believe that this
is the cruiser that you sailed on
1354
01:23:22,590 --> 01:23:29,430
oh my goodness that's mad
1355
01:23:29,430 --> 01:23:36,030
again it's my cruiser look at that thank
1356
01:23:36,030 --> 01:23:38,650
you you're welcome
1357
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:44,720
And Connie, from what Allie has told me,
you love life and you like trying new
1358
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:46,100
things. So this is for you.
1359
01:23:46,700 --> 01:23:47,700
Thank you.
1360
01:23:49,020 --> 01:23:50,020
What's this?
1361
01:23:51,820 --> 01:23:53,200
Cha -cha lessons for two.
1362
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:57,200
He's good.
1363
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:58,420
It's going to be fun.
1364
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:00,620
Thank you. You're welcome.
1365
01:24:01,740 --> 01:24:06,400
Tony, I understand the community center
is always in need of funding.
1366
01:24:06,980 --> 01:24:08,820
So I've got my company to sponsor.
1367
01:24:09,470 --> 01:24:11,210
The arts program for the coming year.
1368
01:24:12,590 --> 01:24:14,350
Supplies, museum trips, everything.
1369
01:24:16,150 --> 01:24:19,810
Gordon, that's really generous. Wow.
Thank you.
1370
01:24:20,550 --> 01:24:21,870
I don't believe it. Thanks.
1371
01:24:22,950 --> 01:24:23,950
My pleasure.
1372
01:24:24,850 --> 01:24:29,630
Now, Daniel, you are the best right
-hand man ever.
1373
01:24:30,230 --> 01:24:33,870
You've helped me more than I can say and
certainly more than I've thanked you
1374
01:24:33,870 --> 01:24:38,630
for. So, three weeks.
1375
01:24:39,630 --> 01:24:43,050
All expenses paid, luxury resort in...
Tahiti.
1376
01:24:43,550 --> 01:24:44,950
Oh, you wanted to go to Tahiti?
1377
01:24:46,330 --> 01:24:47,330
Yes, Tahiti.
1378
01:24:48,370 --> 01:24:52,550
Oh, the soothing silence, the calming
caress of the trade winds.
1379
01:24:53,070 --> 01:24:54,150
Thank you, sir.
1380
01:24:54,630 --> 01:24:55,630
You're welcome.
1381
01:24:56,770 --> 01:25:01,150
Girls, I'm going to take a leave of
absence from work.
1382
01:25:02,650 --> 01:25:07,150
For the next few months, we're going to
get to know each other again. We're
1383
01:25:07,150 --> 01:25:08,150
going to...
1384
01:25:08,300 --> 01:25:11,600
bake cookies, watch movies, build
snowmen.
1385
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:17,180
But most importantly, we're going to
spend time together because I don't want
1386
01:25:17,180 --> 01:25:19,920
you two growing up not knowing how much
I love you both.
1387
01:25:20,660 --> 01:25:21,660
Okay?
1388
01:25:22,580 --> 01:25:23,020
Merry
1389
01:25:23,020 --> 01:25:29,860
Christmas.
1390
01:25:30,140 --> 01:25:31,140
Merry Christmas.
1391
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:37,480
I'm so happy you could be here.
1392
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,880
Well, I had to... to give you this.
1393
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:52,980
Spider bicycle.
1394
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,200
Yeah, sorry, it's not the same size as
the real one.
1395
01:25:58,660 --> 01:25:59,660
I don't know what to say.
1396
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:03,860
The acceptable social response ritual
would be to say thank you.
1397
01:26:04,620 --> 01:26:05,620
You're right, Rose.
1398
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:07,360
Thank you.
1399
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:11,520
Got a little something for you, too. Oh.
1400
01:26:12,660 --> 01:26:13,660
Somewhere.
1401
01:26:13,820 --> 01:26:15,260
Ah, bottom of the bag here.
1402
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:27,240
It's beautiful.
1403
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:51,800
Now it's beautiful.
1404
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,080
I believe there's one last masterless
Christmas activity that has to happen.
1405
01:26:59,420 --> 01:27:01,260
Which one? I thought we did everything.
1406
01:27:03,820 --> 01:27:05,520
Kissing under the mistletoe!
1407
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:07,240
Oh, my.
1408
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:11,120
Hmm.
1409
01:27:14,220 --> 01:27:16,960
So does this mean you'll let the Santa
Squad come back next year?
1410
01:27:18,500 --> 01:27:23,890
Maybe we can just... Make it simpler and
you can just stay all year round.
1411
01:27:33,770 --> 01:27:34,250
Merry
1412
01:27:34,250 --> 01:27:42,010
Christmas.
1413
01:27:42,390 --> 01:27:43,390
Merry Christmas.
1414
01:27:44,530 --> 01:27:45,990
Merry Christmas.
1415
01:27:49,530 --> 01:27:51,350
Thank you.
1416
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:30,060
When the snow lay round
1417
01:28:30,060 --> 01:28:37,000
about Deep and crisp and even Brightly
shone the moon that night Though
1418
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:43,960
the frost was cruel When a full man came
at night That great winter's due
1419
01:29:12,650 --> 01:29:13,650
them for
1420
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:07,680
Thank you.
