it goes over the holidays

okay sorry do you mind if I set up front

no no uh not at

all

great where to Mr Williams Drake Hotel

please this your first time in Chicago

sir no I grew up here just haven't been

back in a while well then welcome home

sir I am so happy to be here today to

talk to you guys about the history of

the parade so Chicago's first parade was

called the Christmas parade and it was

held on December 7th

1934 it was a record cold day but

everyone came out to see it

anyway it was first televised in 2007

when many of you were just

toddlers there are enormous helium

balloons as you know but also 1,000 High

School band members appear in the parade

every year and you know who's going to

be there on the last float right please

we not 5 years

old you're right you guys are way older

he's not really Santa Claus

what no the real Santa Claus cannot

leave the North Pole on Thanksgiving he

is way too busy getting everything ready

for

Christmas but sometimes if he gets all

of his toys done early he will come to

Chicago to be in the

parade of course we never know if he's

going to make it so we always hire a guy

in a Santa suit just in case watch the

parade really closely to see if it's the

real Santa or if it's just a good

lookalike

hey Linda it's me any

messages tell Grant I'll be in Chicago

for about 3

weeks oh I sent you the perspective on

La Tech they want to stay competitive

they'll have to downsize by half

diversify their Holdings and consider

moving their Factory out of the country

it's not popular but it's cost

effective be buying some retail property

here so tell Sam to expect the bank to

contact him

[Music]

jacine where are you Emily close your

eyes okay

open it's beautiful the 1953 vintage

original possibly worn by someone who

lived here in the city just came in

yesterday oh it's perfect it's more than

perfect can I afford it it doesn't

matter because I'm willing to rob a bank

can I borrow a mask a gun in a getaway

car you don't need to it's your wedding

gift a thank you but he hasn't asked yet

but he's going to I

know oh I love it thank you so much oh

I'm vintage

Cinderella have you told him yet no well

if you're going to marry him he needs to

know I know I'm working on

it don't worry I'm going to tell him

okay you know you can get over your fear

of boats okay okay okay I'm going to try

again before he gets home what oh what

happened at the bookstore it's closed

not just closed out of business for

good what is happening to our city well

historical landmarks are being discarded

and destroyed I wonder how many books

were sold here over the past 50 years

you know we should chain ourselves to

the building and go on a reading and

hunger strike and protest you know I

would if I thought it would make a

difference it

wouldn't this building is a structural

Hazard needs to be torn down before it

falls down and who exactly are you to

say

that I'm the guy that cared enough about

this dilapidated building to buy it tear

it down and rebuild it into the

profitable retail opportunity deserves

to be oh so we should thank you for

destroying this beloved land Mark of

literature do you wash your clothes iig

do you have a really great sweater one

that feels right every time you put it

on when that brings out the Green in

your eyes and makes you feel confident

and happy and cozy I don't well you

don't throw that sweater away because it

gets a little mustard on the elbow you

don't burn it because it loses a button

or it frays at the elbow no You Mend it

and you wash it and you sew on a new

button why because it's a great sweater

and it deserves to be cared for and

respected and repaired I'm sorry is the

sweater a metaphor for this termite

ridden death trap I bought my first

Nancy Drew here I bought my first Agatha

Christie here no one buys books anymore

they download

them oh my God I know right he's so

obnoxious I was going to say he's

totally

hot not Santa not Santa not Santa

m not Santa definitely not Santa are you

kidding me okay these are the best ones

we got this

year you told me we need to finish

booking Everyone by the end of the week

and it is the end of the week one of

those guys doesn't even have a

beard maybe they could grow one the

Santa float is the finale of the parade

his presence signals the start of the

holiday season people will have been

standing in the snow for more than 3

hours it's going to snow

maybe the point is for some people this

will be their first parade and for

others sadly it will be their

last we are responsible for creating

those memories

okay okay got

it going to be a little different for a

few days thank you for joining us Emily

as I was saying the city is hired an

operations Management Consultant to come

in and evaluate the Parade's Revenue

potential what the mayor wants to see if

the parade is cost effective for the

city that's ridiculous the parade isn't

about money this guy is responsible for

reorganizing and rebuilding the Falcon

Center in Miami the Falcon Center was

completely destroyed they took out most

of the seats and they built private

boxes he tripled their revenue and added

300 jobs for the city yes but at what

cost Emily none of us are happy about

this but we have no choice the mayor is

involved I want you to work with this

guy introduce him to everyone make sure

he has access to all the department

heads make a good

impression the parade and our jobs may

depend on it can you pretend to be

Charming I'm totally

Charming

hi sorry I'm late no

way no way

we got so lucky to get this

guy Henry this is Emily Jones our

operations manager and unofficial

historical archivist there's nothing

about our parade she doesn't know she'll

introduce you to everyone and get you

whatever information you need great well

I'm a big fan of the parade I grew up

watching

[Music]

it

[Music]

nice to see you again you too so that is

Tracy she is our PR director right

behind her is Linda she's our director

of marketing she works with our sponsors

and retailers and this is not going to

work I beg you pardon you being here you

could conceivably destroy the parade you

need to come up with an exit plan you

can say you need to leave for personal

reasons perhaps some sort of rehab look

I appreciate your loyalty and dedication

to the parade but I'm not here to

destroy anything I'm just here to

evaluate you say you grew up here I did

grw up here went to school here yes who

is O'Hare Airport named after Lieutenant

Commander Edward H oare who earned a

Congressional Medal of Honor in

1942 for shooting down five Japanese

planes everyone knows

that what year was the Willis Tower

built

1971 and it is 110 stories it's a trick

question because it was originally

called a Sears

Tower

satisfied where did you watch the parade

the penthouse of the barisford to on

state in Madison of

course what that's bad that's why you

can't understand what the parade means

you watched it from up above you were

warm and cozy with your Rich family

sipping hot totties I was on State

Street with the real people of Chicago I

was freezing my butt off up on my dad's

shoulders I was holding my breath

waiting for the moment Santa Claus would

appear and wave I thought he waved only

to

me look we don't have to like each other

but over the next few weeks we do have

to work together so why don't we start

again tomorrow you can introduce me to

everyone and show me around

okay my

pleasure

oh tell me he's not married he's not

married are you sure men like him never

get married they just date supermodels

and then they drive around Italy on

their fancy V Bus oh he's George

Clooney

exactly

I've tried my whole

life to please someone

else been taken for

granted and ignoring

myself I had better

advice more than twice somehow you help

me Kure my

glue I couldn't see

clear with people in my

face cloud my

thinking and true in my

space I had wor of

trouble seeing double somehow you

help

me tell me what's wrong Paul hired this

obnoxious jerk to come in and completely

ruin the

parade I see he's supposed to evaluate

everything we're doing wrong and tell us

how to make more money for the city and

basically destroy everything that's

special about the parade operations

Management Consultant I read about these

guys in Newsweek yeah well this guy's a

jerk use your charm you get more with

honey than with lemon I mean show them

what the parade means means to you teach

him about the history you know don't

threaten him Inspire him you are so

[Music]

wise nice

ride how many miles to the kerot again

you wanted me to show you everything

about the parade I thought I would start

by showing you the root

okay

[Music]

Edna okay this is where it all begins

the floats are lined up right behind us

the marching bands are tuned up set to

play entertainers and equestrian groups

are ready all of the performers have

been through parade camp and are holding

on tight to the giant helium balloons

wait parade camp

yes all of the performers go through a

week of parade Camp to learn how to

manage the helium balloons who pays for

this parade Camp it's a volunteer

program everyone donates their

time the Grand Marshall is in place

people sipping hot chocolate are lined

up on both sides of State Street you can

feel the excitement in the air as giant

helium balloons have begun to appear in

the sky

look there's ELO

are you on any

medication entertainers from all across

the country seem to appear out of

nowhere clowns and acrobats hang on a

second who carries the insurance for the

perip is the city liable for any may I

finish of course sorry thank

you then it happens Santa Claus comes

floating down the street stre to the

Delight of children young and old what

about when all the spectators are gone

they've dropped their styrofoam cups

lost one glove and left a huge mess

behind who's responsible for the cleanup

how does the city recoup the losses in

Revenue when State Street is closed down

for 48

hours if you charged everyone that came

to the

parade you could effectively pay for the

entire cleanup you want to charge people

to come to the parade is that your

recommendation they wouldn't have to

come

it's like sports they could sit at home

and watch it there on TV you realize

that defeats the entire purpose of a

community parade it is about spending

time with your friends and family in the

heart of the city you love you wouldn't

understand because you don't have a

family you know what can you stop stop

please thank you thank you thank you I

will walk back

fine hey wait how do you know I don't

have any family because men like you do

not get married you fly from woman to

woman like a bee collecting pollen

except you're never satisfied with the

pollen they give you no you want more

and more pollen from newer and younger

flowers so hang on I'm the be in your

scenario I don't see a ring on your

finger I about to become engaged to the

most wonderful man in the world a marine

biologist who incidentally wrote a book

about whales that he self-published it

can't be downloaded oh how long You'

been dating 5

years good luck with that

what's that supposed to

mean well if he hasn't married you in 5

years he's not going to you are so wrong

that shouldn't be a shock since you seem

to be wrong about a lot of things I will

bet you $5 that I will be engaged by

Thanksgiving fine you're

on hello hello oh you're still here

haven't you finished your evaluation yet

bless I'm studying it my almost fiance

sent me books and tapes so I can learn

we intend to travel a lot and he wants

me to learn various languages Spanish is

the first language I'm learning I see

you see

what 5 years and he's still trying to

improve you don't you think it's time

you just cut your losses and move on

cynical and sad and exactly what I would

expect from you my say to be will arrive

in 2 weeks I will be planning my wedding

in 2 weeks and one day you know this for

sure Yoo that means I do in Spanish Yoko

means I want in Spanish that's because

there's no exact translation of I do you

know what I hope you're right and you

don't end up like my friend's Aunt Helen

who walks around all day in a robe

calling it her house coat feeding a

bunch of cats she calls her children

well that's not going to happen because

I don't own a robe or have cats of my

[Music]

oh I don't know ask him this ask him if

he thinks you're perfect just the way

you are ask him if he would change

anything about you if he could I'm not

going to ask him that because no one is

perfect and there's always something he

would change about the other person if

you could you don't want to ask him

because you're afraid of the answer you

are so wrong would you like to know a

few things I would change about you if I

could maybe later you sure I have a long

list he

[Music]

he's a pompous jerk I tried to inspire

him about the parade but he's your

typical trust fund entitled Playboy and

he will be 75 years old with a

24-year-old girlfriend living out his

days lounging around his mansion in his

pajamas that's H heckner

exactly that was wonderful good

practice

far by the way I asked Brian if there

was anything he would change about mey

could and he said

no you think he's lying not at all I'm

sure you're perfect no one's perfect

it's about finding the person who really

knows you and accepts you for who you

are that's Brian he really knows you

knows what matters most to you yes then

you're a lucky woman I

am so you grew up here why did you move

away College oh you couldn't get into

Northwestern didn't your Rich family own

some of the dorms or the library or

something I was accepted I chose to go

to Stanford to get out of the cold and

to start a new life where do you live

now I travel from City to City for work

so I basically live in hotels yes where

is your home the place you go to when

you're not traveling and working well

when I'm not traveling and working I go

on vacation and I live in another hotel

home is the most important place in the

world it's where you come from it's the

place you go to feel safe and loved it's

the place you go to remember who you are

home is the only place you can have

naked movie

night

I'm afraid to ask naked movie night is

where you sit in your underwear and you

eat peanut butter out of a jar and you

watch old

movies I mean I do that on the rare

night that I am home

alone here we are best restaurant in

Chicago it's a pizza

[Music]

our Emily's heart no no no no uh this is

a coworker no Brian's not going to be

I'll bring you something

wonderful

sorry

thank

you

PR I've been coming here since I was a

little girl I worked here in high school

and this is where I have Thanksgiving

dinner every year GI cooks for anyone

who shows up oh no time for family and

friends giano is family and friends my

mom died when I was a

baby and my dad raised me he was a cop

best guy in the world he died when I was

17 I'm

sorry that's

him he saved this place from being

robbed when I was like nine the robber

had a gun but my dad took him down

peacefully and no one got

hurt Gio put up his picture as a thank

you and as a warning to other robbers

you must be really proud of your

dad I

am thank you thank you look really happy

in that

picture so was that your best day

ever it was a good day I have this

theory that we all have one best day

ever we can have a lot of days that come

close days that are fun or meaningful

and interesting

but only one day that all others are

measured by

you're not too young or too

old you're not wise enough to know you

can fail or not naeve enough to think

things come

easy and yeah I would say it was my best

day ever so far I think my wedding day

will be my best day

ever how about you if you had your best

day

ever May 2nd 1985 I hit a home run with

two on base

it was a sunny day I ate three hot

dogs now was only eight

but I still remember every minute of

it I can smell the dirt of the field can

see exactly where the chalk dust blew up

when I crossed home

plate and you don't think you're going

to have a day that will knock that day

out of the

park

maybe a day that involves someone other

than just

yourself

no no good idea yeah keep your

expectations low and then you'll never

be

disappointed oh thank you thank

you my favorite this is called

Buddha it's one with

everything there you go no no this one

one this

one oh my

[Music]

God that's the best pizza I've ever had

is there anything you would change about

it if you

could no it's

[Music]

perfect well I believe in true love I

think it's a leap exactly it is a leap

that's the point love is a leap you take

with each other you commit to holding

tight jumping off and facing the world

together you make love sound like a

suicide

fact I just don't believe in love that

lasts forever never seen it work well

I've never seen it work either but I

still believe it's possible I still have

faith that it exists I have a five date

rule I go five dates with the woman if

I'm feeling like it's not going anywhere

I end

it that's insane you can't know

everything there is to know about a

person in five dates I know enough after

five dates a woman starts thinking about

marriage so I end it before she gets

confused you invented the five date Rule

and she's the one who's confused do you

prev epac the parade yes I have to make

sure they're

ready great job guys you're ready woo

[Music]

[Music]

woo what is she doing um interviewing

Santa for the parade it's just a stupid

Santa she's looking for one with a jolly

smile and a twinkle in his

eye and see the the picture on the wall

show you around town I'd be happy to

help I know all the bars I mean where

advice sure you don't want to go out

just one of those guys who breezes into

town all cute and nice then he sucks you

in with his charm and his cool hair and

his green eyes and then he breaks your

heart how did you know you had green

eyes I saw them I glanced at them

they're dreamy look he has a five date

rule he goes on five dates and then when

he realizes you're not perfect he dumps

you shouldn't be a problem then I'm

pretty

perfect true mhm well good luck with

that thank

you

people move pretty

slowly so do you own any clothing from

this

decade I like old clothes

you when my mom died my dad was so sad

Goodwill so you figure if you buy enough

of them you might one day be wearing her

clothes stupid

Starlights they've been dancing in the

parade as long as I can remember most of

messy how could I have been so

wrong I thought he loved

me this is officially the worst night of

my

life well I hope you're right can only

get better from

[Music]

here oh can I tell you a secret now that

I've humiliated myself beyond all reason

sure I'm afraid of boats

I've never even been on about about so

I'm not sure why but

still so don't take a I go down to the

tour deck and I try and get on but then

every time something stops me the

captain of the ship hates me so what

were you going to do if you married

him I didn't really have a

[Music]

plan no oops

what uh one second uh they'll probably

hear

us why don't you just have a seat okay

I'll keep

trying I can't believe this is happening

I'm sick of trying and I left myself I

try and I try try look at me anybody

here I'm still

alone

hello maybe you're afraid of boats

because you were never sure if Brian was

the right guy for

[Music]

you

[Music]

[Music]

m

[Music]

[Applause]

oh

good

[Music]

morning well thank you for taking care

of me last night I uh appreciate

everything you probably did for me my

pleasure I'm fairly sure I need to

apologize for my behavior and as soon as

I remember what I did I will take full

responsibility you were a perfect

lady guess we have to do the walk of

shame it appears so oh how am I going to

go in and face everyone at

work you dodged a bullet they'll be

happy for

you come on let shame Walk You

Home are you sure I didn't do anything

embarrassing last night you know there

was that one thing

what I wouldn't worry about it it wasn't

anything bad enough to put on

YouTube

ooh

ooh

[Music]

o I never liked Brian really you never

said anything I said lots of things you

just never listened so I stopped figured

if you were happy who was I to

judge well here you go what no no no

keep it you will wear it one day and you

will be beautiful in

it no I'll never get married what how do

you

know Henry was really sweet though he

rescued me from the worst night of my

life well he's a nice guy yeah yeah too

bad he's a jerk well maybe he's not a

jerk no he's so cute he is a jerk he has

a five date rule he goes on five dates

with a woman and then if she's not

perfect he ends the relationship well

that's actually very sensible you know

enough about a person in five dates to

know whether the chemistry is there yes

but he goes in believing it won't work

again sensible you hold the other person

to a higher standard you have a better

chance of knowing whether you're going

to end up with the right person well

either way he leaves in a week right

after the parade so it doesn't matter

and he he's probably going to recommend

that the city eliminate the parade what

a jerk I told

[Music]

you

morning anything we can do okay listen

up everyone I'm fine stop looking at me

like I'm going to fall apart I'm fine

really now we only have one week until

the parade so everyone really needs to

focus I appreciate your concern but

let's get back to work and let's put on

the best Parade

ever I can't believe he did that to

you fine I wouldn't

be you are really strong thank you I

think I would probably kill myself if

someone did that to me you know we

should get back to work I would feel

like life wasn't worth living I mean the

the disappointment and the

humilation would just be more than I

could take I seriously would fall over

and

die the rain fly I wave goodbye to Sant

all at all it was the kiss cam we did

not have a choice that's what I'm saying

that's exactly what I said yeah well was

worth

repeating oh great okay well thank you

so much that was a really good evening

Emily I

just

you all right

sir let me ask you a

question do you believe in true

love I've been married 16 years sir I I

didn't stand a

chance I fell in love with my wife the

first moment I saw her

how did you know it was true love I I

just

knew found myself thinking about her

when I wasn't with her if she was there

I was

happy I used to drive past her house

late at night just to be close to her

when she slept I asked her to marry me

after our third date but she didn't say

yes until our

fifth

Drake Hotel

[Music]

please you you should tell him how you

feel no it was just one kiss and he made

it clear he's not looking for a serious

relationship and he leaves in 2 days

well no man is looking for a serious

relationship until they fall in love the

right woman comes along and changes

everything like you owe it to yourself

to tell him how you feel if you don't

take a shot then you'll never know I

took a shot with Brian look where that

got me Brian wasn't the one your eyes

never lit up like this when you talked

about Brian I thought I loved him

you loved the idea of him you hardly

ever saw him he was gone more than he

was home we Skyped our relationship for

the last 3

years I think I loved in 5minute

intervals exactly tell Henry how you

feel too risky I already had my heart

broken once this month not sure a heart

can be broken twice in one month without

breaking for

good every relationship needs a hero

okay that that that one person who

stands up and takes a chance and puts

everything on the line look I'm not just

going to go over to his hotel room and

knock on the door and say surprise I

think you're amazing I think you should

stick around and we should find out what

happens well you should take a chance be

his soft place to

fall where did you hear that Dr

Phil I thought I'd come by and say hello

and I was just in the neighborhood and

thought I'd stop by and you know what

the heck throw myself at

you I know you said you're not looking

for a serious relationship but I still

figured I'd give it a shot ma'am are you

okay who is that hotel security we

monitor the elevators I'm just making

sure you're okay I'm fine
