All language subtitles for The Road Home For Christmas [2019] YTS

I'm trying to call him.

I can't believe he's my partner.

I told you.

You could have said no and just done
artist nights on Wednesday.

No, that's only one night.

Plus, it's half the amount of tips that
I make with this doofus.

That's because the audience likes y
'all.

I think it's the actual contempt they
can feel from all of the piano dueling.

It's under my skin.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Where have you been?

Car troubles.

Hello, we were supposed to go on ten
minutes ago.

Let me guess, Lindsay, you're upset
about something.

Yeah, that talent manager's here
tonight.

Right. I'm not going to let you mess
this up for me.

I know that you're new to this.

But managers, they don't like to be kept
waiting. I totally forgot that he was

coming.

Well, go.

adieu and no introduction necessary.

Keys on Bourbon welcomes you to Dueling
Pianos with Lindsay Scott and Wes

Bailey.

Christmas edition.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Ho, ho, ho.

We are just Five short days away from
Christmas, if you can believe it.

And we're just really happy that you
could be here with us tonight

So here's how this works.

We are dueling for your favor.

You see those tip jars right there?

That is how we know who has won the
duel. The more that you put in one,

how you show us who you want your winner
to be.

Now, we're going to play some fun songs
for you guys tonight.

And if you like what I'm doing, I'm sure
that you will.

Fill up my jar.

Should we get started?

Ready when you are.

Do it.

the wonderful Erica will tabulate your
generous tips to see who won the piano

duel. Oh, I think we all know who this
amazing audience is going to choose.

Before we begin our final medley of the
night, I just want to share a sentiment

that my mom always used to say.

Christmas is about...

Spending time with the ones that you
love.

You know, sitting on the couch,
unwrapping a gift, or putting together a

toy, setting up the VCR.

This was the 90s, kids. Remember that?

Thank you so much for coming out with us
tonight. Merry Christmas to all of you,

and I hope you spend this season with
the ones that you love.

First Noel the angels did sing, was to
serve them poor

shepherds in fields as they lay.

of the Christmas season. So thank you so
much for coming.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

So you haven't booked your flight yet? I
told you, I keep tracking it every

single day, but the cheapest flight I
could get is January 2nd.

Really expensive.

Well, baby Rudolph is due January 3rd,
and it won't wait just because you're

late. I know, I know.

I promise the second I get the money
from the governor's party, I'm going to

book my flight. It'll be nonstop, first
class.

Or at least nonstop.

So the governor's party is that
important, huh?

Allie. We've been over the... I'm just
saying, you're missing Christmas with

whole family.

I know.

I know.

But it's 500 people at the governor's
mansion, and he's asked me to play.

He's asked us to play.

Plus, I really need the money. You know,
and that way I can take two weeks off

to see little baby Rudolph get born.
Okay.

Yes, I appreciate that.

I know we're kidding with this whole
Rudolph thing, but it's kind of growing

me.

Yeah, like Mom would let that happen.

Besides, she's moved on to another
reindeer.

She didn't like that Rudolph was a boy's
name, you know, because we were trying

to keep the baby's sex a secret.

Oh, Rudolph for a boy and Rudy for a
girl? That's pretty cute. Well, get here

sooner and maybe you'll have a say.

Okay, I gotta go. I'm gonna call you
tomorrow, okay?

Slight. Book it.

Okay, will do.

Wes! Lindsay!

This is Robbie Mailer from French
Quarter Music Management.

Great to meet you, Wes.

Hey there, gorgeous.

Listen, I don't have long. My car's
outside, but I just wanted to pop by and

that you guys were so great. I mean, so
great.

I'm sure we'll be in touch.

Oh, you know what? I have this for you.

Some covers and some original music I've
been working on.

Excellent. Excellent.

Yeah, and by the way, if you ever want
to jam or anything, I'm pretty flexible.

Studio, on the road, whatever. Makes no
difference to me.

Yeah, dude. I like it.

Whoa. Dude.

Arm. Hard as a rock.

Tell me you golf.

Yeah. You know what? We got to go
golfing.

Go. All right. Go. I'll tell you what.
I'll give you a ring. Sounds good. All

right. See you later, Wes. All right.

Oh, you forgot the...

Thanks.

Good show, you guys.

Ticket sales, door count, and tips.

Split 50 -50.

Oh, before I forget, the governor's
assistant called tonight, and he has to

cancel the party.

What?

Cancel? Why?

Apparently his entire family caught the
ox blue.

I'm sorry, ox blue?

Yeah, that's what he said.

So we had to cancel.

It's less than five days until
Christmas. Can he even do that?

Uh, yeah.

Great.

Now what are we supposed to do?

I don't know.

Go home for Christmas?

Hey, Wes.

Can you hang back a bit?

Lindsay. Lindsay.

Hey.

Hey, Lindsay.

Hey, Lindsay.

Hey, Lindsay, Lindsay.

Hold on. What do you want?

Listen,

I needed that money to help pay for my
ticket so I could go see my new niece

nephew, so I'm just really upset right
now. No, I know, I know, I know, I know.

Me too.

Do you need something, Wes?

Uh, can I get a ride?

My car's down here.

Hey, so your sister's having a baby,
huh? Yep. That's cool.

Now I just have to get to Akron.

Akron? You're from Akron?

Not Akron. A small town outside of Akron
called Rootstown.

I'm from Kent.

Kent in Ohio?

I went to Kent, Roosevelt.

We played you guys in football.

Senior year.

Homecoming. Beat you.

You know what? I was the senior class
president, and you guys totally ruined

vibe of our homecoming dance. Well, as I
remember it, that DJ did play nothing

but Enya. Enya, I know.

Although at the end of the dance, the
music did get pretty good.

That's because I fired the guy and
totally took over.

I can't believe we've never talked about
this before. That's crazy.

Wow.

Okay.

So... You want to go home for Christmas.
I want to go home for Christmas.

Flights are too expensive.

So?

So?

Road trip.

No.

Yeah, what do you say? We meet first
thing in the morning. It's a 15 -hour

drive. We can get there before Christmas
with plenty of time to spare. No, we're

not going on a road trip.

Not that bad.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Road trip home for Christmas? Yeah.

I'm not so sure I am.

Fine.

What's going to happen?

It was fine.

Did that music manager guy show up?
Yeah, he was there.

And did you talk to him? Did you give
him that sample thing you were working

I mean, a little bit. And yes, I did.
But it wasn't even finished.

Stupid.

Probably just another rejection.

Well, you never know.

And now tell me again who this boy is
that you're driving with.

He's my dueling piano partner, Mom.

Completely obnoxious and...

He's already making us late.

Well, I know you're not so happy about
the governor's party being canceled, but

I am so happy you're coming home for
Christmas.

I know, me too. I can't wait to see you
guys and meet baby Blitzen.

Don't get me started on all that
silliness. Won't even tell the

it's a boy or a girl.

Anyway, I was thinking about this, and I
know you needed the money from the

party. Mom, I...

No, no, I'm an adult.

You know, I'm also a musician.

Gigs get canceled.

Plus, I budget for these things.

I'm good. Don't worry.

Well, as long as you say so.

I just can't help but wonder if all of
this is a sign or something.

You know, the governor's party got
canceled. That music manager barely

my direction.

Maybe I'm getting tired.

Oh, don't say that, honey.

All right, Mom.

I got to go. I love you.

Morning. You're late.

Charming.

By the way, we're going to have to trade
out driving every, like, hour or so.

I got to bat back.

Of course you do.

Okay. Well, it's going to seriously
affect our driving schedule.

You made an actual driving schedule.

Don't roll your eyes at me.

This is going to get us there faster so
we can spend the least amount of time

together. Ooh, good thinking.

Uh -oh, look at that. You forgot
something.

What? That's impossible.

Yeah, no, look. You forgot the schedule.
Show annoying driving schedule to Wes.

Look, now we're two minutes behind.

Oh, you know what I did remember to
schedule, though?

Quiet time for Wes.

And that starts right now.

Hey, do you mind if we just switch up
the music a little bit? Yeah.

What about Cassie's Christmas record?

Oh, you're a Cassie fan, huh?

Huge Cassie fan. She was actually the
reason I became a singer.

Actually, my buddy Mark, he's on tour
with her right now. He plays guitar in

band.

How are you so well connected?

I'm a pretty well -liked person.

I don't know if you know what that would
be like. I talk to people, they talk to

me back.

Okay, whatever. I just need a little
change from the jazz for a second. I

care what we listen to. Come on, you
live in New Orleans and you don't like

jazz? No, I'm not saying that I don't
like jazz.

That's kind of more your thing, you
know? I'm a classically trained pianist.

That explains it.

Explains what?

Why you can't improvise. What?

I'm just saying, you're not good at it.

It's the classical training. They beat
it out of everyone.

Excuse me. I took a jazz improv class at
Tulane University.

Of course you did.

Okay, fine. I will admit, that is not my
specialty.

At least I can sing on key.

I'm just saying.

Wow.

Wow, okay. Okay, you know what? I can
admit my weaknesses.

You might have a better voice than I do,
but I'm the better improviser. Okay,

fine.

And for the record, I'll give...

Perfect pitch or anything.

Just saying. You know what? Let's just
stop talking.

All right, guys. Yeah, it sounds great.
I'm going to email you right now. Let's

do it.

What was that?

What?

The Santas.

Oh, they invited me to use their
timeshare in Palm Springs.

Evidently, the wives just love it.

What? It was a long line.

And the Santa thing?

Oh, they're on their way to Jackson for
the convention.

Hmm.

Just so we could drive through the
night.

Okay, well, we should probably go to the
bathroom while we have the time.

I don't know if we can.

I don't know if we can divert from the
schedule.

You are so funny, Les Bailey.

Come on.

Hey, Robbie, it's Wes Bailey. Erica said
to give you a call today.

Wes, yeah, awesome.

Listen, I got a great gig for you.

A gig? Really?

Wow, that was fast.

Hey.

Well, hi, gloomy gut.

Sorry, Ali.

So annoyed right now. But you're excited
to see me soon, right?

So what is it? You, my friend, are going
to be touring with Aaron Baker

Longman.

Oh, hey.

Oh, yeah. You're going to love it, too.

Aaron is, of course, great.

The band is awesome.

I think you'll fit right in.

Are you for real?

Serious, bro.

This is the big leagues.

So, uh, your game?

This isn't a game, Allie. This is my
life, okay? I think that... I think Wes

a gig with that manager guy.

Why are you laughing? Is my misery funny
to you? No, no, no.

It's just...

You hate your partner, who happens to be
from the same area as you. Now you're

driving across the country and
surrounded by Santa cosplayers?

Okay, when you say it like that, I guess
it is a little amusing and it's

ridiculous.

Ridiculous!

Yes, yes. I can't wait, bro.

Well, listen, I gotta run, so I will
email you some more deets and we'll chat

later. Yeah, that sounds good.

Looking forward.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

And who is Baby Comet?

I love you.

Bye.

Bye.

Not the rest of mine.

No, thank you.

Y 'all here visiting for our Christmas
night -savory play?

No, we're just passing through for a
bite.

Well, I highly suggest getting some of
our pumpkin pie.

Homemade. It's a can't miss.

We'll take two slices.

To go.

No. Hey, can we get a cup of milk?

Yes. I don't want it. I didn't use the
soy. I know, baby.

I want him to stay at my inn.

I know you do, and I am so glad I do,
but you know why?

You have a part to play, a very
important part in the Christmas story.

And if you don't tell Mary and Joseph
that there's no room in the inn, baby

Jesus will never be born in that manger
with all those sweet baby animals.

You won't get to sing your song.

Remember, it's just a play, honey.

Okay. Okay.

Yes, please.

And the check as well.

I'm ready to go.

Thank you so much.

You know, I parked in the garage down
the street. I didn't know where to stay.

Fine. It's going to take a second.

Then we'll head out.

Wait, Lindsay Scott wants to break the
driving schedule?

Wow.

Come on.

That kid was so cute.

Don't you want to see what happened? Not
really. I thought you wanted to drive

through the night.

Why don't you be a little spontaneous,
Wes Bailey?

Man, you and this driving schedule.

Why don't you live a little?

So Mary and Joseph stopped in Bethlehem
at an inn.

We have no room for you at the inn.

But you can stay for coffee.

So Joseph and Mary stayed in the stables
with camels and sheep.

And Mary gave birth to a son.

In the hills, an angel appeared to the
shepherds and said,

news. Today in Bethlehem, a Savior has
been born unto you. You will find the

baby lying in a manger.

I didn't even want to come to this
thing. If I hadn't shown up, what would

happened? It's a good thing the world
has me.

Okay, compliment ruined.

Hi there.

Sorry, my son has something he would
like to say.

Thank you very much for helping me with
my song.

Do you want one of Santa's cookies?

Whoa, Santa's cookies. You know what,
buddy? I think you should save those for

Santa.

And as for the song, my pleasure.

Hey, we really loved your line about
giving Mary and Joseph coffee. That was

very funny.

Really, though, thank you so much. You
really saved the night.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Good job.

Driving schedule.

All you had to do was park the car.

How was I supposed to know it was going
to close?

They had the huge sign right there, Wes.
How did you miss that?

Guess I was hungry.

I'm just going to stop and think it
over.

Sorry. We only have one room.

We'll take it.

Okay, so we're just going to get up as
soon as the garage opens.

Get on the road bright and early.

Hopefully there won't be too much
traffic in Nashville.

One bed.

Well, I'll take the floor. No, you have
a bad back. I have a perfectly fine

back, so I will take the floor.

Don't be ridiculous.

I will take the floor.

Oh, hello, Santa.

Oh, hello, son.

We used to watch this every year on
Christmas Eve. Oh, really?

Mm -hmm.

Except for we would have pecan pie, not
pumpkin pie. Mm.

What about you?

Nothing specific.

My mom would make pumpkin pie.

Sometimes my aunt would make pecan.

They don't really have many traditions.

Eh, we got tons of traditions in our
family.

Every year, after we open up our
presents and go through our stockings,

old home movies, my mom makes Christmas
sandwiches.

Cranberry crackers?

Mm -hmm.

You know, you take the turkey and the
stuffing, the cranberry, and you put it

all in a sandwich.

Sounds good.

It's pretty good. I mean, it's kind of
better than the meal itself.

We'd always have a power up.

Really?

I thought you didn't have any
traditions.

Like what?

If we hurry, we can get back in time for
Christmas Eve.

Stop! Watch!

There's a bug in there!

This place is disgusting!

It's just a bug. Relax.

I can't sleep on the floor with that
thing on the loose.

So now my back's not an issue for you?

No, wait.

I have an idea.

Okay, don't worry about me.

I'll get the lights.

A Clint Allman.

Oh, I love this song.

Oh, so good. Me too.

Hey, have you heard the live recording
from Radio City Musical?

What? That's my fave.

Okay, you gotta play it for my phone.

Hold on, you have it? Yep.

What's this?

This is actually pretty good. You write
this? It's just something that I've been

working on.

This is you.

You compose this.

Don't come so surprised.

I've just been playing around with it,
trying to write my own stuff.

Well, you should keep doing it.

You write lyrics, too? I mean, I try to.

Nothing really that good, so I just wind
up throwing them away.

You can't take some pressure off
yourself, Lindsay.

What do you mean?

I mean, you're always so perfect all the
time.

Art's not supposed to be perfect. It
just has to be truthful.

Yeah, I guess.

Wow.

This is way better than anything I could
ever do. I can't sit still long enough

to focus on anything.

Do you want to be a songwriter?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I don't know if I have the discipline to
even try.

And as much as I hate to admit it, this
is actually really good.

Thanks.

Okay, we have to stop at my favorite
natural cafe.

I cannot tell

you how glad I am to see you.

You hear that?

Told you people love me. By the way,
this is Lindsey. I'm sorry. I am so

Lindsey.

Maybe this is like a Christmas miracle.

I'm playing with Cassie, right? The
keyboardist just came down with the

Oxford. That's really going around.

Our backup's all the way in London. He
can't be here till tomorrow night.

Wes, you gotta do it.

We've been scrambling to find someone,
and you're perfect, man. I cannot

that you're here.

Listen, Mark, I appreciate that, but
we're on a tight schedule, and we're

already half a day behind.

Plus, I don't know any of her songs.

We can go over that right now, but since
you're one of the best improvisers I

know, you'll do fine.

We'll get your hotel room, food's calm,
it's good.

Oh. It's the Grand Music Hall.

Wait, wait, wait.

Grand Music Hall?

With the one and only Cassie? You gotta
do it.

Yeah? Yeah.

Doing it.

Yes! Dude, thank you.

I get a backstage pass, though, right?

The Grand Music Hall.

She's going to be performing.

That is her crew setting up the drums
and the bass.

Here we have the background singer,
Sykes.

And this is me in front of the stage.

Okay, this is so exciting.

This is your piano.

Oh, wow. Which I think I'm going to sit
at. Really quickly.

You guys are leaving?

So what? Just knew a guy?

Why are you playing again?

You know all her songs.

I told you. It's one of his friends.

See, honey, this is why networking is so
important.

Did you read that article I sent you?
Yes, Mom. I read the article.

And I network.

But Wes is just more connected than I
am.

I don't know how he does it.

Oh, the baby just kicked.

I think the baby likes you playing.

And musical.

That's not your impression of me, is it?

Okay.

Cassie, I'm such a huge fan of yours,
and I've been listening to your

music ever since I was a kid, and they
just wanted to hear me play something.

Well, you've got a nice set of pipes,
don't you?

I don't know.

Well, I didn't just fall off the turnip
truck, honey. I know a good voice when I

hear one.

So Mark over there was telling me that
this guy, Wes, was a great piano player.

I think you could rival him.

And you got the voice on top of it.

I can't believe you're saying this to me
right now.

Just to say thanks, dear.

Thank you.

Okay, here it is.

So, uh, you've listened to all my
Christmas albums, huh?

Yeah.

Every year since I can remember.

Wouldn't you know it, one of my
background singers woke up with a little

in her throat.

And, I mean, I don't want her to get
full -on ox flu, do I?

No.

Why don't you take her place this
evening?

What? Well, you said you know all my
songs.

Yes, but I've never sung them in front
of a crowd before.

Oh, honey, if ants and buds were candy
and nuts, it'd be Christmas every day.

excuses.

Huh?

Say yes.

Yes? Great.

I don't have anything to wear.

Oh, I've got plenty to share.

You will be living high on the hog
tonight, girl.

Oh, come on.

Let's get this going. All right.

Hey, how are you? Hi.

It took about five people to make me
look like this.

Wow.

Wish me luck.

You're not going to need it.

It's lovely weather for us to ride
together with you.

The snow is falling and friends are
calling you.

It's lovely weather for us to ride
together with you.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go.

Let's look at the show.

We're riding in the wonderland of snow.

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's
grand.

Just holding your hand.

We're riding along with the song of a
witchery wonder.

I take a nice and rosy and comfy cozy
week.

Cuddled up together like the birds of a
feather would be.

Take the road before us and sing a
chorus or two.

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
together with you.

Christmas party at the home of summer
spray.

It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect
day.

We'll be singing the songs we love to
sing without a single stop. At the

fireplace while we watch the Christmas
pop.

There's a happy feeling nothing in the
world can buy.

As we pass around the coffee and the
pumpkin pie.

It'll nearly be like a Christmas print
for career.

These wonderful things are the things
we'll remember all through our lives.

Just riding along with the song of a
winter -free wonder.

Hear those sleigh bells ring -a -ling,
ting -ting -ting -a -do.

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
together with you.

The snow is falling and friends are
calling you.

It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride
together with you.

What do I do?

Like cookies.

You know, they say that home is where
the heart is.

Well, at Christmas, it's the best time
to open your heart.

When the snow starts falling to the
ground, it's Christmas.

And the children counting days are down
to just a few.

It's the time.

Sam's good? Kids? Yeah? You're great,
man. Awesome. Well, tell my son what's

I will. I will.

It's my wife right now. Right on
schedule for our nightly call.

Take it.

Thanks, Wes.

You bet.

Hey, um, would you want to stay a bit
and grab a drink?

I just sang with Kathy at the Grammy's a
call. I couldn't go to sleep if I

tried.

So I show up. This is my very first gig.
I'm so excited.

I don't even care that I have to dress
up like a princess or whatever character

they need me to be.

I'm getting paid to sing.

It's the best feeling.

Best feeling ever?

Ever.

So I get there, and I find the manager,
and she gives me my costume, and I open

up the bag, and I'm the villain
character.

Oh. Yes, which is like the worst thing
you could possibly be at a kid's

party. So all the kids are like, booing
and crying.

Aw. And that didn't scar you for life
from this horrible industry?

No, actually.

I mean, I got paid to sing, so I was
pretty happy.

So did you major in music?

No.

No, I didn't, actually. I got a football
scholarship.

Football, huh?

Yeah. And then before our first game,
during practice, I slipped, I fell, I

busted myself, I had to have back
surgery, and my career was over before

began. So I moved to New Orleans.

All of a sudden, this hobby is now my
career, my everything.

Wow, you're kind of like fly -by -the
-seat -of -your -pants kind of guy, huh?

Am I?

Well,

I mean, compared to me, you know, I like
things kind of more calculated,

scheduled.

Schedules. Not sure if you know that
about me. Time schedule. Yeah, I love a

driving schedule.

Yeah,

I get that from my dad.

But he passed away when I was in high
school.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it's weird. It's like if I don't
have some sort of structure, I can't

thrive.

If I look around and there's no ladder,
I just, I don't know where to go.

Yeah, I almost feel like there's almost
too many ladders.

Too many ladders.

Like I'll start climbing one ladder, and
then I get distracted.

And then I start climbing another
ladder, and then another ladder, and

ladder. And so, like, all I'm really
doing is climbing the first rung of each

ladder.

Not really going anywhere.

Well, this business is so hard.

At least you know what you want.

Right?

As much as I think it's so nice to be
able to play music for somebody else,

cool would it be to see my own name up
on the marquee?

Hmm.

Hmm. I feel like I've never talked to
you before.

You know, like, really talk to you.

How nice.

Yeah.

Okay, well, this is me.

Good

night.

Good night.

Merry Christmas!

Hey.

My service is so spotty.

Here, try mine. I have visible works
everywhere.

Yeah. Hey, it's Wes.

Wes Bailey.

Glad I caught you. When do you think you
can get out to L .A. for rehearsal?

January 3rd would probably be best.

Right on, right on.

Hey, listen, Aaron is really stoked to
get you on board, man.

Really? Well, listen, I'm going to let
you go.

Okay. Well, let me know if you need
anything else.

Of course, brother.

Later.

So, um... Congratulations.

You heard him?

Is it a chore?

Yeah.

Aaron Baker longed me nine months.

Wow, that's huge.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Aren't you excited?

Yeah, I am.

It's a new ladder.

Well, I'm very excited for you. You
deserve this.

I mean it.

I'm a pianist for a rock star.

I'm sorry, I just didn't know how to
tell you.

We've always been so competitive. I
didn't want to sound like I was

Beth, it's okay.

We're just driving to Ohio together.

You don't owe me any explanation.

Oh.

Looks like Winter Storm Megan's on the
way.

Let's throw this stuff away.

The road blocked off ahead.

Okay,

turn your hudges on.

You okay?

Yeah.

Okay, great. And when do you think
you're going to get somebody out here?

Hello?

Hello?

The phone is dead.

Will you try the engine again, please?

I'm telling you, it's not starting. We
keep doing this, we're just going to

drain the battery.

I'm starving.

Oh.

You got jerky.

Jelly beans.

Two reds and a green.

How did you know that?

And I think that was the only
combination left.

Well, I'm still impressed.

I know.

It's getting very cold.

But you know what? In 24 hours or less,
we will...

Probably. Hopefully.

Be home.

I hope so.

I know.

So why do you want to get home so bad
anyway?

My mom.

Your mom?

We've been in this car for three days
and you haven't talked to her or even

one word about her.

She's sick.

Oh.

And it's been affecting her memory
lately.

I am so sorry, Wes. I'm just such a
jerk. No, no, no, no. How would you have

known?

It's okay.

It's just that it's been kind of hard to
talk about, you know.

Lately, she's been getting more and more
forgetful.

Sometimes she gets confused about who I
am.

She's tough, you know. I mean, she's my
mom.

So my Aunt Maggie called last week.

So that she was starting to get even
more forgetful.

So they started her on a new treatment.

I'm just worried that she's not going to
remember any of her favorite Christmas

traditions.

And if I make her favorite gingerbread
or make her pout roast, sing her

favorite hymn, she's not going to
remember. It's not going to mean

Well, it's actually late.

We're going to get you home.

Yeah. We're going to get you to Ohio.

That means we have to walk in the
snowstorm.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold still. Hold still. What are you
doing?

Hold still.

Is something on my face?

Take it away.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

So what's her favorite hymn?

Hmm?

Your mom.

You said she has a favorite hymn.

In the Bleak Midwinter.

I think I know that one.

Like, in the bleak midwinter, something
like that.

That was one of the first songs I ever
learned on piano.

Brought so much joy to my mom.

Me.

You know, last night, when you were
playing for Cassie,

I could totally see that joy that you
were talking about.

It's just amazing to watch.

I could never do what you did.

What are you talking about?

You can.

And you did.

You sung with her.

I was just backup vocal.

I mean, you didn't even know the song,
and you just... Got up there and played.

It was amazing.

If they would have asked me to do that,
I 100 % would have said no. I mean, I'm

not that good.

Yeah, you are.

No, I'm not that brave.

I mean, watching you last night, you're
fearless.

You know, and it's so fun to watch.

I don't know. I just, I feel like I
don't have the same passion that you

And my career has no progress.

I think I'm going to stay in Ohio.

Come on, what?

Yeah. I mean, it'd be kind of nice to
stay close to my family and work with my

mom in the shop.

What, and just abandon your music?

What am I abandoning? I can't even write
lyrics to songs.

It's... I think I've grown stale and the
audience can tell.

That is so untrue.

You're the heart of the show, Lindsay.

I'm telling you, they might laugh harder
at me, but it's your voice.

It's your sentiments they resonate with.
I'm telling you, I'm just a comic

relief. I mean, maybe that levity does
make the sincerity shine brighter.

I think so.

And I think we make a pretty good team.

Yeah, but... You're leaving.

Just don't you dare give up.

Well, we're headed to Cincinnati.

Can I drop you off someplace?

Um, a rental car, please?

There's actually no rental cars
available, but there is a bus that goes

Cincinnati to Akron. It leaves at 3 p
.m. and gets in at midnight. Bus station

it is?

Hop in. All right.

Thank you so, so much for picking us up.
It's really so sweet of you guys.

I'm Wes, and this is Lindsay.

It's a pleasure to have you.

By the way, I love your outfits. Are you
guys, like, actors?

Oh, no.

No, sweetheart, we're carolers.

We've been driving all over the area,
spreading cheer at children's hospitals

and schools. Well, Mr. Catherine has
been driving us. Yeah, we only have one

more stop before we head to the convent
for Christmas Eve service.

Lots to do.

The convent? Oh, of course.

We're from Our Lady of Grace.

You're none!

Well, if I'm not a none, I sure did make
a lot of vows.

We do need to make one more stop before
we get to Cincinnati, if that's okay.

Yeah, I mean, our bus leaves at three,
so as long as we're back by then, it

should be fine.

Wonderful!

Now, you two don't by any chance like to
sing, do you?

Um...

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly. Fa la la la
la, la la la la.

Dawn we now our gay apparel. Fa la la la
la, la la la la.

Troll the ancient yuletide carol. Fa la
la la la, la la la la.

Now kid, we have a special treat for you
today. I know it's Christmas Eve.

But he could just not wait till tonight
to come here.

He's jolly. He's made it from the North
Pole.

It's Santa Claus!

Merry Christmas!

That's right!

You guys know where I'm from?

And what do you want to be when you grow
up?

I want to be an astronaut.

An astronaut?

Just kidding, Houston.

No problem at all. We got Monica.

Monica, you can be whatever you want to
be when you grow up because you are

strong and smart and brave.

You really think so?

Mm -hmm.

Will you sing me my favorite Christmas
song, Jolly Old Saint Nicholas?

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas?

That's a good one. But only if my
helper, Lindsay, sings with me.

Let's do it.

Christmas Eve is coming soon. Now you
dear old man, whisper

what you'll bring to me.

The shortest one, you'll be sure to
know.

Oh, yeah.

You

know,

I think you guys really made those kids
Christmas this year.

We never get to bring Santa with us.

And you two are fantastic.

You should sing professionally.

You know, I keep telling her that.

We should do that when we get home.

Have a concert, raise some money, then
we go and we visit and sing with kids.

You're going on tour?

Yeah, after?

Yeah, maybe.

Oh, my gosh.

What? My sister's in labor.

She's ten days early.

When did this happen? I don't know.

A baby?

What a blessing.

A Christmas miracle.

Well, let's get you kids home.

Okay, so I have your address, and I
promise to send you a Christmas card

all of my family on it. Oh, I'm looking
forward to it. And keep singing, my

dear. Your voice is a beautiful gift.
Use it.

Thank you.

I will.

I think all of this was part of a larger
plan.

I think so.

She's something special.

I can see it in your eyes.

Your journey is just beginning.

Okay. Get some bus tickets.

Hi.

Can we get two tickets to Akron, please?

Ooh, today?

We've got one seat left.

Huh?

Uh, we'll take it.

Okay.

Leave in 15 minutes.

Gate B5.

Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Take it. No.

I'm not going to take it.

Take it. I won't. You have to go home to
see your mom.

Your sister's in labor.

The baby's not going to know that I
wasn't there.

Not as my mom.

You don't know that, Wes.

Take it.

No way.

There'll be another bus tomorrow.

They're going to get you there after
midnight.

After Christmas.

Yeah, well, maybe you'll all happen to
come across another caravan of caroling

nuns who happen to be passing right
through Akron.

I won't get on.

Okay.

Let me see if they've got a standby
ticket or something.

Do you happen to have, like, a standby
ticket?

No. Okay.

Can you maybe do me a favor and print
out like a voided ticket?

We don't do that.

I got a ticket for tomorrow.

Okay. There you are.

You know what? I'm just going to...

Bathroom, real fast.

Okay. Will you send me a feed? Sure.
Okay.

What?

What's going on?

Don't get off.

I knew it.

There are no seats left.

What are you going to do?

I'll get home.

I got a ticket for tomorrow.

I'll get back after Christmas.

I wish you would let me switch with you.

You promised me you'll come back to New
Orleans and I'll see you there.

Are you going to even be there if I come
back?

Good luck with everything.

With the chore, you really deserve it.

And keep in touch.

Okay?

Hello? Wes, oh, glad I caught you.
Listen, just heard from Aaron. He's

that the whole band fly in earlier for
rehearsal.

And instead of L .A., he'd like everyone
to come to his cabin in Colorado.

It's about a three -hour drive from
Denver.

Okay. And he'd like everyone to get
there by tomorrow night for an early

rehearsal on the 26th.

Wow, tomorrow night?

Tomorrow's Christmas Day.

I haven't even gotten home yet. I'm
still here in Cincinnati.

Oh, well, uh, that's even better.

Look, do this.

Fly out of Cincinnati, okay? Take a taxi
from the Denver airport.

Now, I'll text you the address, and
that'll give you more time for your

fetish.

A costume?

Look, I don't know. He's an artist.

You know how they are, bro.

Hey, uh, Robbie?

I'll have to call you back.

All right, so keep an eye on the I -71.

You're saying, what, about four hours?

Yeah, pretty much.

Okay, wait, turn.

Oh, Wes?

Oh, my gosh.

What are you doing here?

You know, our car got snowed in on the
way in from Louisville. Oh.

What are you guys doing here? I figured
you'd already be up in New York by now.

Oh, we got stuck in the same blizzard.

I mean, we were trying to make it to the
concert, but I mean, that ain't

happening.

We're just trying to get everybody home
to their families for Christmas.

Hey, where's your friend?

She got on the bus today.

I'm catching the one tomorrow.

There's only one in the Akron today.

Well, we're heading to Cleveland.

Hop in.

What? Are you serious?

Yes. Come on.

Hey, guys.

Look who I just picked up.

Are you all okay if we make a quick pit
stop in Akron and just drop him off to

be with his family?

Let's go.

Mom,

did I miss anything? Oh, man.

Oh, no.

Not yet.

Why? Why are you crying, Mom?

I'm just so happy you're here.

And we're all together.

You're going to make me cry.

Sit down, sit down. I'm crocheting a
stocking for the baby.

What? Mom, it's nearly midnight on
Christmas Eve.

My procrastination has become quite a
tradition.

And you know how I feel about tradition.

All right.

Tell me everything.

Well, it was supposed to be 15 hours,
and it turned into four days, so it was

pretty rough.

But it was also pretty great.

Maybe it's not always the journey that
matters, but rather who you take it

Yeah, maybe.

You know, I heard a doctor on TV once
talk about how feelings of hate and love

are both controlled by the same part of
the brain.

As they say, sometimes love can be found
in the least likely of places.

Mom.

What? I know what you're getting at.

And yet it was completely different than
what I expected.

But he's going on tour.

And yet we connected in ways that I
never have before and possibly never

again. But it's just not that simple.

Okay? Okay.

Okay.

But what if it is?

What'd you look at that?

Just after midnight.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry
Christmas.

Silent night, holy night.

All is calm,

all is bright.

Round yon virgin,

mother and child.

Holy infant so tender.

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glorious dreams from heaven afar.

The heavenly hosts sing hallelujah.

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas.

Hi.

He's perfect.

I know.

I can't believe how much I love him.

Did you decide on a name?

Yeah, we were thinking Owen Paul.

After Dad.

He would love that.

Yes, he would.

Thanks, Mommy.

Hey, Allie, can you just turn up the TV
really quickly?

Singer sensation Cassie was spotted
outside Akron. It's unknown what the...

the multi -Grammy -winning singer
-songwriter was doing here. No concerts

scheduled. Can't he hear?

He made it.

Thank you.

For everything.

What can I ever do to repay you?

Oh, just knowing you're going to be with
your family on Christmas.

It's the best gift ever.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

And a happy new year. Go.

Let's go.

Hey. Hey, Maggie.

Hi, honey.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

How's she doing?

You know, she's comfortable.

It's something.

She fell asleep. She was waiting up for
you. She insisted you wake her up,

though, because she wanted to tell you
Merry Christmas.

Hi, Lindsay.

Yeah, hi.

What a family.

I need to meet you. Me too.

It's me.

Mama Dwight.

Can we wish you a Merry Christmas, Mom?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

In the bleak midwinter, the fall

will come.

Hi.

Yeah,

I'm right here.

You made it.

Merry Christmas, Mom.

Hi.

Hi.

I wanted to thank you for earlier.

I don't know how you knew that I needed
you, but I did.

And... I really can't thank you enough.

I just saw something on TV.

It just felt like I was being pulled,
and I knew I needed to see you.

brave with.

Is the treatment working?

I'm so happy.

She's tired.

She's going to be okay, though.

The law's going to be okay.

You know that's what I wish for?

In the car.

I know it's only been 12 hours, but... I
know, and I've missed you.

I know, me too.

Merry Christmas, Wes.

Merry Christmas, love.

Hi.

Hi.

Come in. It's freezing.

Yeah, yeah.

Everyone's at the hospital.

Allie and Justin, the baby.

I guess the baby controls everything
now, so you're supposed to sleep when

baby sleeps.

Yeah, that's what I heard. You're
supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps.

what you just said. Yeah. Yeah, my mom
and my aunt are sleeping too. They're

napping as well.

Yep.

Oh. So, so.

Think.

Yeah.

You know, I wanted to tell you, I, uh...
I called that manager guy.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

I'm, um... I'm not doing the tour.

What? Why?

I don't know.

I want to play music with good people
who care about family and friends.

I want to play music with you.

I kind of like seeing you a couple times
a week. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing

you a couple more times a week.

Tell me you're not staying in Ohio.

You know, it's funny. I was thinking
about it last night, and I can't abandon

music. You know, music moves people.

It changes people.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Yeah.

I think that you've been touching
people's hearts for a lot longer than

realize.

Yeah? Yeah.

And I've been thinking a lot lately.

Lindsay, I've never felt this way about
anybody.

I miss you when you're not around. I
think about you all the time.

You came by last night. I didn't want
you to leave. I wanted you to stay.

I wanted to stay.

I want to watch your home videos and I
want to eat your Christmas sandwiches

I want to play music with you and I want
to be with you.

As sure as the reindeer got in the
sleigh Bring us joy and

good cheer That'll last us all year
There's love in our hearts We're never

have these two back again for this one
night only concert.

They've not only dropped their first
original album together, but they've

been touring most of the year. The
opening act for Cassie.

That was their last song tonight.

So please, give it up one last time for
Lindsay Scott.

We'd like to wish all of you a very
Merry Christmas.

And we hope all of you are able to spend
this holiday season surrounded by the

ones that you love the most.

We've really enjoyed being back here
performing for you all, and we hope you

enjoyed it as well.

And now we've got to go, because we have
a long car ride ahead of us.

Just kidding.

We're taking a plane.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas.

If I could have one wish this Christmas
I'd only ask to

be with you Tell me that you'll be with
me when Christmas Eve comes round
