1
00:00:40,490 --> 00:00:45,810
Hey, I loved seeing you two out
celebrating.

2
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:49,050
Hey, listen, it's almost time for the
tree lighting. Are you going to join us?

3
00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:52,010
Yeah, just give me one minute. I'm
making a few more notes on a book I'm

4
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:56,750
editing. Okay, well, don't work too
hard. It's the season to be jolly. It's

5
00:00:56,750 --> 00:00:58,050
a few weeks before Christmas.

6
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:00,630
Welcome,

7
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:05,890
and good evening, everyone. Welcome to
tonight's tree lighting ceremony.

8
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Before we start tonight's celebration,
this is just a reminder to check out all

9
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,840
the information on this year's seasonal
events, including caroling, the toy

10
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,540
drive, and of course, a chance to ride
on Santa's sleigh.

11
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,560
And that's all happening right here.

12
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Now, can I ask for a volunteer to come
up here and help me light the tree?

13
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,780
You, sir, in that... Snappy overcoat and
plaid scarf.

14
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Come on up.

15
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:40,560
At your service.

16
00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:42,240
You look familiar.

17
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,640
What's your name, son?

18
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:45,100
Ryan McDonald.

19
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,960
Ryan, of course. All right, on my count.

20
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,720
In three, two, one.

21
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:15,260
It has been a while.

22
00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:16,539
Brian McDonald.

23
00:02:16,540 --> 00:02:17,700
I can hardly believe it.

24
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,740
Are you here for Christmas?

25
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,140
Oh, no. Just a quick trip to sign some
papers for my family's estate.

26
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,220
You know, I still think of your folks
every time I go down your old street.

27
00:02:27,580 --> 00:02:28,960
They were such lovely people.

28
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:30,439
Thank you.

29
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,040
You know, they were big fans of yours,
too.

30
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:36,000
So, I see Angel Falls hasn't changed a
bit.

31
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:39,820
You know what? That is totally not true.
We have a new multiplex movie theater.

32
00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:40,980
Wow.

33
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Oh, so I guess you get to watch all the
action movies on the big screen now. Oh,

34
00:02:44,700 --> 00:02:45,940
no, I prefer dramas.

35
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,620
Less fewer car chases, more stirring
monologues.

36
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,300
I mean, not that I have time to go,
anyway.

37
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,700
Really? Not even time for movies based
on your favorite novels?

38
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,240
Fine. Yes, I make an exception for
those.

39
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,700
I knew it. I knew it.

40
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,340
Hey, wait, wait, wait. Where are you
going?

41
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Can I at least buy you a free hot
chocolate? We can catch up. Oh, come on.

42
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320
don't know all my highlights. My mom
keeps me up to date on yours. Is that

43
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:09,439
Mm -hmm.

44
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,760
Let's see. You went to college in New
York, and you're still there, and you

45
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,880
an apartment with a view of the park,
and apparently a terrible taste in

46
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:20,560
Okay. Okay. All right, my turn.

47
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,820
You graduated, top of your class, came
back to Angel Falls, and your favorite

48
00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:30,060
color is pink.

49
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,060
What? No, come on. Green. All the way.

50
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,060
Anyway, I really should get back to
work.

51
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,160
I guess some things never change.

52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,480
What are you working on? A follow -up to
the bookworm. I heard about the

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,480
bookworm. That sounded cute.

54
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,300
It is thought -provoking, not cute.

55
00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:44,660
How were the numbers?

56
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,820
They were adequate.

57
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Maybe you didn't have enough of a
marketing strategy. See, if I was in

58
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,380
would have done a whole... Well, you
know what? At the press, we do things a

59
00:03:52,380 --> 00:03:54,680
little differently than you fancy New
York publishers do.

60
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,360
I was just trying to help.

61
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,540
Okay. Well, I should go.

62
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,280
It was nice running into you after so
long. Yeah, it was nice seeing you.

63
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:06,740
See you around.

64
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,180
Merry Christmas.

65
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:14,660
Merry Christmas.

66
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:15,980
Oh, candy cane.

67
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,620
Merry Christmas.

68
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:21,220
Candy cane.

69
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Rafi. Anthony.

70
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,000
Welcome to Angel Falls, my friend. It
has been too long. Indeed it has.

71
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:44,000
You know, Michael said you were the best
choice for this assignment.

72
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,360
He's too kind.

73
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,400
I am looking forward to offering my
guidance.

74
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,740
It won't be straightforward, though. It
never is, even for us guardian angels.

75
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:54,860
When will they learn?

76
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,900
Love is so simple and so pure.

77
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,100
Yet so complicated.

78
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:00,040
Anything can happen.

79
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:10,870
Merry Christmas.

80
00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:21,830
What can I get you?

81
00:05:22,130 --> 00:05:24,030
Yeah, um, just a small coffee.

82
00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:25,450
And your name?

83
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:29,310
Tina. Are you interested in joining our
rewards program?

84
00:05:29,770 --> 00:05:31,890
No, thanks. I don't know how long I'll
be in town.

85
00:05:32,690 --> 00:05:35,270
Well, Merry Christmas.

86
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:37,890
Right.

87
00:05:38,190 --> 00:05:39,190
Thank you.

88
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:47,820
So good to see you, buddy.

89
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,840
It's been so long. Yeah.

90
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,339
Since what?

91
00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:52,380
Senior year of college?

92
00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:56,200
Yeah, I think since my parents' funeral.
It's been a while.

93
00:05:59,260 --> 00:06:03,800
So, your uncle has been managing the
estate and the house as the trustee, but

94
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,520
you want to take things over. He retired
earlier this year, and I want to take

95
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,339
it off his plate.

96
00:06:08,340 --> 00:06:12,480
Okay. Yeah, well, I can easily execute
that transfer into your name. So what

97
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,379
does that entail?

98
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:14,660
Mostly signing a lot of documents.

99
00:06:15,539 --> 00:06:18,660
And if you're still considering putting
the house up for sale, we'll have to

100
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:19,660
list it.

101
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:21,340
In the meantime, I found a new tenant.

102
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,880
Great. Great.

103
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,520
Well,

104
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,280
let's get started. I was hoping to drive
back to New York tonight.

105
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:30,660
These documents will take a lot of time
to process, and there'll be more papers

106
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:31,660
to sign. Wow.

107
00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:35,800
Couldn't we tackle these over e -mail or
courier? I mean, Angel Falls is only a

108
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,100
couple hours from New York. We could,
but it would be a lot smoother with you

109
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:40,100
here in person.

110
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,840
Aren't you headed to your aunt and
uncle's for Christmas?

111
00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:44,940
No, they're on a Christmas cruise this
year. Then why don't you stay for the

112
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:45,940
holidays?

113
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,680
We could hit up some of the local
activities.

114
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:49,660
Yeah, maybe.

115
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Let me think about that. Great.

116
00:06:52,580 --> 00:06:56,260
Okay. I have a conference call this
evening, so if you could get the key to

117
00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:58,420
Tina, the new tenant, that would really
help me out.

118
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,480
Okay.

119
00:07:15,820 --> 00:07:17,000
We've reached the printed press.

120
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,880
Sure, one moment.

121
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:23,780
Um, hey, Mom.

122
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:26,640
Any luck on finding a front desk
replacement?

123
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:28,440
I've been putting posters all over town.

124
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,800
Actually, I'm interviewing someone
today.

125
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:34,740
And I have a surprise visitor popping by
this morning.

126
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:37,180
Hello!

127
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Ryan! Hey, twice in two days.

128
00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:41,940
Told you I'd be seeing you around.

129
00:07:42,910 --> 00:07:46,730
A trip to Angel Falls is not complete
without seeing my mother's closest

130
00:07:48,290 --> 00:07:49,790
I miss her every day, you know.

131
00:07:51,770 --> 00:07:55,310
Your parents would be so proud of the
fine man you've become. Thank you,

132
00:07:55,570 --> 00:07:56,670
I hope that's true.

133
00:07:58,110 --> 00:08:02,350
So, how have you been? How's Lowell?
How's the company? The website looks

134
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:03,970
Lowell is good, thanks.

135
00:08:04,370 --> 00:08:06,050
And the company is fine.

136
00:08:06,990 --> 00:08:11,190
We've had some success with Jason
Davidson's memoir, and our history books

137
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:12,950
really popular in academic circles.

138
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:19,310
But now we're looking to expand our
reach. So Hannah has suggested that we

139
00:08:19,310 --> 00:08:21,590
into another part of the market. Yeah,
we're thinking about getting into

140
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:23,610
cookbooks and travel guides. Oh, that's
great.

141
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:26,290
But have you thought about expanding
your fiction department?

142
00:08:26,910 --> 00:08:30,450
Well, we release a few novels each year,
but it's never been our focus. Well, I

143
00:08:30,450 --> 00:08:32,289
thought fiction was your favorite thing.

144
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,720
Well, as a reader, sure.

145
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,179
But it's nearly impossible to make a
dent in that side of the industry. Yeah,

146
00:08:37,220 --> 00:08:39,760
that's why enhancing our non -fiction
catalog is a safer bet.

147
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,280
Well, obviously, and this is your
decision, but if you could land a

148
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,020
talent to join your roster, you could
leverage that for more publicity.

149
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,600
That may be too big a step for us.

150
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,060
But hey, I have a thought.

151
00:08:54,980 --> 00:08:57,320
Since you'll be here longer than
expected...

152
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,460
Would you consider coming in and
reviewing some of our ideas? Oh, but I'm

153
00:09:01,460 --> 00:09:02,399
done with my proposal.

154
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,440
Brian has years of experience in book
promotion.

155
00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:08,620
We could use his insights, like a
special consultant.

156
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Oh, that is an impressive title. I like
the way that sounds. Yeah, aren't you

157
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,400
working at Pages Publishing? I mean, it
seems like it would be a conflict of

158
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520
interest. I'm actually in between jobs
right now.

159
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,660
You left Paget? Yeah, just recently.

160
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:23,460
Leslie, I would be more than willing to
help any way I can. It's the least I can

161
00:09:23,460 --> 00:09:26,240
do after how kind you've been to me over
the years. I just checked in on you

162
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,480
from time to time. Your mother would
expect nothing less.

163
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000
Well, it's meant the world to me.

164
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,400
Why don't you look around?

165
00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:36,620
Okay, I will.

166
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:41,360
Mom, Ryan is our consultant?

167
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,900
I know. I'm surprised you said yes, too.

168
00:09:45,140 --> 00:09:47,220
Look, you two are going to have a great
time brainstorming together.

169
00:09:53,540 --> 00:09:56,320
Okay, slow down.

170
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,220
So your mother asked an old friend...
No, we were friends when we were

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,960
but once we got to high school, I was
always in his shadow.

172
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,560
That must have been hard to handle.

173
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,400
It was, and you know what? He was a
model student. He was top of our class,

174
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,560
captain of the basketball team.

175
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:09,560
Senior year, he beat me out for class
president.

176
00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:11,730
Okay, that was so long ago.

177
00:10:11,970 --> 00:10:14,610
Senior year of college, I applied for my
dream job at Pages Publishing.

178
00:10:14,890 --> 00:10:16,990
I thought you always wanted to take over
the press.

179
00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:20,990
Well, yes, but I wanted to start at a
bigger company first, and I had my heart

180
00:10:20,990 --> 00:10:21,990
set on Pages for years.

181
00:10:22,650 --> 00:10:26,850
Okay, so you applied. I mentioned it to
Ryan offhand, and next thing I know, he

182
00:10:26,850 --> 00:10:29,590
applies, turns supervisor, and
inevitably gets it for himself.

183
00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:33,670
Ouch. No wonder you don't want him
around the press even temporarily.

184
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:37,670
Exactly. Okay, let's take your mind off
of this. Come here.

185
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,440
Humorous essays. Okay, this is no
laughing matter. I mean, the guys are

186
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,520
lofty suggestions about expanding our
fiction department.

187
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,140
Inspirational self -help. I know you're
a really good friend, but I am in no

188
00:10:52,140 --> 00:10:53,140
mood to be inspired.

189
00:10:57,860 --> 00:10:59,260
Time to bring out the big guns.

190
00:10:59,980 --> 00:11:02,600
Some Tina Finn again, please? Oh,
Christmas romance. Yes.

191
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:04,680
Oh, I love her work.

192
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:09,030
I wonder when her next book is coming
out. I heard she left her publisher a

193
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:11,310
months ago. There's no word on what
she's releasing next.

194
00:11:11,690 --> 00:11:12,690
Too bad.

195
00:11:13,030 --> 00:11:14,890
Is Ryan's idea really that terrible?

196
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:19,330
I mean, you are a literature expert, and
you wanted to have more experience at a

197
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:22,570
bigger company. You could create a
bigger company right here. The idea of

198
00:11:22,570 --> 00:11:25,850
expanding our entire roster of authors
would be a huge undertaking.

199
00:11:26,390 --> 00:11:28,670
What if I put the entire company in
jeopardy and then fail?

200
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:30,170
What if you were a total success?

201
00:11:30,870 --> 00:11:32,010
Just think about it.

202
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,440
can i find a hero like this guys and
those books are a total fantasy after

203
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,560
years of marriage sometimes the most
romantic thing tom does for me is empty

204
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:50,140
dishwasher and i wouldn't have it any
other way wow okay well as for me i will

205
00:11:50,140 --> 00:11:52,100
be snuggled up this as my date

206
00:12:10,089 --> 00:12:11,370
Hi. Tina, right?

207
00:12:12,050 --> 00:12:13,790
I'm Ryan McDonald. This is my house.

208
00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:15,090
Nice to meet you.

209
00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:16,450
Likewise.

210
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:20,810
Did you need to come inside and take a
look around? Oh, no, no. That's not

211
00:12:20,810 --> 00:12:24,450
necessary. I just wanted to come
introduce myself and give you the keys.

212
00:12:25,170 --> 00:12:27,390
I'll be staying at Angel Inn if you need
me.

213
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:29,050
Okay. Here for the holidays?

214
00:12:29,390 --> 00:12:32,350
No, just some long overdue errands.

215
00:12:33,470 --> 00:12:34,470
Wait.

216
00:12:35,330 --> 00:12:37,970
This is your house, but you're not
staying here.

217
00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:39,270
That's right.

218
00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:40,370
Do you have family in town?

219
00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:41,910
No,

220
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:44,190
I don't.

221
00:12:44,570 --> 00:12:46,670
That doesn't make sense.

222
00:12:47,330 --> 00:12:49,150
Is that garage a separate apartment?

223
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:53,650
Yes, it is. Why don't you stay there?

224
00:12:55,090 --> 00:12:58,910
I have not lived on my own for a long
time, and it would actually make me feel

225
00:12:58,910 --> 00:13:00,950
more comfortable having someone around.

226
00:13:01,510 --> 00:13:02,510
Are you sure?

227
00:13:02,610 --> 00:13:03,610
I insist.

228
00:13:04,990 --> 00:13:06,630
Okay, thank you.

229
00:13:46,570 --> 00:13:47,570
Excuse me.

230
00:13:47,670 --> 00:13:52,250
Hi. Can I help you? Hi, I'm Anthony. I'm
the new receptionist. Oh, welcome to

231
00:13:52,250 --> 00:13:53,710
the press. Hi, I'm Hannah. Oh, Hannah.

232
00:13:53,970 --> 00:13:56,950
Delighted to make your acquaintance. Do
you have any messages for me?

233
00:13:57,490 --> 00:14:00,630
No messages, but I do have the latest
bestseller chart.

234
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:02,710
Wow.

235
00:14:02,950 --> 00:14:05,610
That's really helpful info. And on your
first day, it's impressive.

236
00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:09,910
Tina Finnegan's Memories for Christmas
tops the charts again this year.

237
00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:14,870
I say I'll always skyrocket this time of
year, but it's so funny because I was

238
00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:16,610
actually reading that same book last
night.

239
00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:19,290
What's it about? I mean, besides
Christmas.

240
00:14:19,730 --> 00:14:23,730
It's about a soldier who gets amnesia
during the war, but then his memories

241
00:14:23,730 --> 00:14:27,270
return just in time for him to come back
home for the holidays and reunite with

242
00:14:27,270 --> 00:14:28,270
his true love.

243
00:14:28,930 --> 00:14:29,930
It's nice.

244
00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:31,150
Yeah.

245
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:33,310
Morning.

246
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:34,970
Hey.

247
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:38,150
Ryan. Anthony, new receptionist. Nice to
meet you.

248
00:14:38,830 --> 00:14:40,610
Oh, Ina Finnegan.

249
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,120
What a coincidence.

250
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,880
You know her?

251
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,320
She's actually renting my house.

252
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:46,740
She's in Angel Falls?

253
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,640
Yeah. I wasn't expecting her, but there
she was, right at my front door. You're

254
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,740
familiar with her work as well?

255
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,140
Oh, no, not really. Just from the
publishing world. It's really not my cup

256
00:14:57,140 --> 00:15:00,460
tea. Yeah, you're more into sci -fi,
aren't you? I mean, as I recall, you

257
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:02,480
obsessed with a certain fantasy series.

258
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,460
He even, uh...

259
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:10,010
club okay the dread monarch trilogy was
a literary masterpiece and i've moved on

260
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:13,550
to more sophisticated material all right
oh you should put one of tina's books

261
00:15:13,550 --> 00:15:17,710
on your reading list yeah maybe all
right i gotta go i got a meeting with

262
00:15:17,710 --> 00:15:24,070
i wish i could discover an author of
tina's caliber identifying your wish is

263
00:15:24,070 --> 00:15:28,490
only the first step wait what do you
mean well the wish isn't going to grant

264
00:15:28,490 --> 00:15:32,370
itself you have to figure out what
action to take to make it happen

265
00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:35,070
Yeah, but what if your wish is
unrealistic?

266
00:15:36,130 --> 00:15:37,650
Well, you're an editor, aren't you?

267
00:15:38,330 --> 00:15:40,970
Make adjustments to your wish until it
sounds just right.

268
00:15:50,930 --> 00:15:51,930
Hey, honey.

269
00:15:52,450 --> 00:15:53,450
Everything okay?

270
00:15:53,570 --> 00:15:56,790
Yeah. What do you think about signing
Tina Finnegan to our roster?

271
00:15:57,250 --> 00:15:59,410
How? Isn't she with a big publisher in
the city?

272
00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:00,750
Well, apparently not anymore.

273
00:16:00,970 --> 00:16:01,970
Plus, she's here in town.

274
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,500
I want to set up a meeting and tell her
about the press.

275
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,080
Well, she would certainly be a marquee
talent, but taking on someone at her

276
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,500
level would be a major leap.

277
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,760
Also, don't forget, we're about to
confirm how to allocate our resources

278
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,520
next year. It's probably not realistic.

279
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,620
Oh, I'm so sorry, I...

280
00:16:30,730 --> 00:16:31,990
Hey, Ryan. It's you.

281
00:16:33,050 --> 00:16:36,630
It's just me. Does slamming into someone
you know rather than a stranger make it

282
00:16:36,630 --> 00:16:38,550
better or worse? Well, that depends.

283
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:41,690
I mean, a stranger might not try to
interfere with my business plan.

284
00:16:42,190 --> 00:16:43,169
Ah, yes.

285
00:16:43,170 --> 00:16:46,610
Your mom told me about your Tina plan. I
see you finally decided to take my

286
00:16:46,610 --> 00:16:49,270
suggestion. I am considering your
suggestion.

287
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:51,730
I'm actually looking at Tina's contact
information.

288
00:16:52,050 --> 00:16:55,990
Well, you do realize that you have a
direct line to her right in front of

289
00:16:56,130 --> 00:17:00,420
Yes, but I prefer to go through proper
professional channels, so... Okay.

290
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:03,460
Then I guess I'll just tell her that
you're sorry you missed her at wreath

291
00:17:03,460 --> 00:17:04,640
-making. You're going to that?

292
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,599
It is the season. I'm on my way there
right now. Would you... Would you like

293
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:09,680
to... Shall we?

294
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,220
I'm not taking that. Okay, okay.

295
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,839
Oh, wow.

296
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,200
He reached a view from Mark Blair.

297
00:17:19,579 --> 00:17:20,920
Oh, now who's interfering?

298
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:25,880
Look, I'm trying my best here. Well, you
know, I'll give you an A for effort.

299
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,300
I haven't done this in...

300
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,960
I don't know how long.

301
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,980
Well, it's not like I'm exactly a pro
either. I guess I'm pretty rusty myself.

302
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:35,500
Yeah.

303
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,280
You know, I just don't see the point in
going all out anymore.

304
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,000
I live alone. It's not like anybody's
going to see it. Yeah, I'm in the same

305
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,900
boat. I don't decorate the same as I
used to.

306
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,700
Hey, it's getting kind of late.

307
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:48,900
Didn't you say Tina was coming?

308
00:17:49,540 --> 00:17:50,940
Yes, she said she was.

309
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,720
There she is.

310
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,060
Tina.

311
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,320
You made it.

312
00:17:58,729 --> 00:18:02,730
I'd like to introduce you to an old
friend, Hannah Pressman. Hi, Miss

313
00:18:03,210 --> 00:18:10,130
Wow, it is such an honor to meet you. I
was wondering, do you see, I'm a huge

314
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:11,290
fan. Well,

315
00:18:12,170 --> 00:18:16,810
I was thinking if I could talk to you
about... Hannah works for the Printed

316
00:18:16,810 --> 00:18:20,610
Press. They're an amazing little
publishing company in town. Oh, I see.

317
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:24,870
And we have some great ideas on how to
make your next book.

318
00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:28,300
I was hoping that I could talk to you
about your writing future.

319
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,580
I don't have a writing future.

320
00:18:31,140 --> 00:18:35,520
What? I mean, it doesn't matter what you
say or what company you're with. The

321
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,820
fact of the matter is, I've retired.

322
00:18:38,260 --> 00:18:41,120
Well, no, you can't retire. The world
needs more books like yours.

323
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,140
I think I'm going to head home. I'm not
really feeling up to this.

324
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,500
Oh, you just got here.

325
00:18:54,860 --> 00:18:55,880
This isn't for me.

326
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:57,700
It was nice meeting you, Hannah.

327
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:05,280
Oh, it was so nice meeting you, too,
and... Oh, wow. I hope I didn't offend

328
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,320
She seems pretty upset.

329
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,100
I don't know what happened.

330
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:14,600
Good morning, Hannah.

331
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:15,820
Hey, good morning.

332
00:19:16,420 --> 00:19:18,520
You know, I think I need to tweak my
wish again.

333
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,880
Sometimes things unfold in ways you
didn't first imagine.

334
00:19:22,260 --> 00:19:23,780
That doesn't mean your wish wasn't
granted.

335
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:51,100
Hey, do you need me for something?

336
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:53,840
No. Yeah, no. I was going to get coffee.

337
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,320
I wanted to know if you wanted anything.

338
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:56,960
Oh, yeah. That'd be great. Thank you.

339
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:00,060
What are you working on?

340
00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:05,440
Oh, it's a statistical analysis of how
the press could have a greater impact.

341
00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:06,860
Oh.

342
00:20:08,420 --> 00:20:12,900
These are all financial predictions. You
don't have anything about creative

343
00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:13,900
impact.

344
00:20:14,180 --> 00:20:15,700
Yeah, numbers are the priority.

345
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:17,900
Well, not for me. I want to be inspired
by my work.

346
00:20:18,879 --> 00:20:24,780
Well, yeah, I know that's a nice
sentiment, but in business you have to

347
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:30,200
practical. Well, I agree, but, you know,
things aren't always valued by the

348
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:30,819
bottom line.

349
00:20:30,820 --> 00:20:36,320
Well, I can't really calculate
inspiration, but if Tina sees how

350
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,940
could be at the press, then she might
reconsider her retirement.

351
00:20:39,420 --> 00:20:42,600
Oh, yeah, hey, did you ask around? Did
you find out why she left her publisher?

352
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:46,780
I asked around, but nobody knows
anything except for that it was sudden,

353
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:48,160
think it's worth approaching. Hold on.

354
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:54,040
Again? I think, um, I think maybe you
should be familiar with her work.

355
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,960
Yeah, okay, sure. I'll give it a read if
I have a chance.

356
00:20:58,580 --> 00:21:00,480
And I'll email you a copy of this.

357
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,300
Great.

358
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,900
Morning. Hey.

359
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:08,340
Did you see Ryan today?

360
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,700
Yeah, he settled right in.

361
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:12,760
Oh, you got anything in those bags for
me? No peeking.

362
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,240
You'll have to wait till first this
morning.

363
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,840
You know, I had a hard time figuring out
your present this year.

364
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:20,500
Ryan's was no easier.

365
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:23,140
Ryan's? You know I always send him a
gift.

366
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,420
Must be a difficult time of year for
him.

367
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,580
Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

368
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,200
Hey, um, do you think you're going to
invite him to the office Christmas

369
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:32,459
Of course.

370
00:21:32,460 --> 00:21:33,480
Is that a problem?

371
00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:35,360
No, no, it shouldn't be.

372
00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:37,960
You used to be so close.

373
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,460
I never understood why you lost touch.

374
00:21:40,660 --> 00:21:44,220
Oh, well, you know, we're not kids
anymore, Mom, so... It's just we see

375
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:45,220
really differently.

376
00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:47,140
Anyway, I'm going to go get a coffee.
You want one?

377
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Yeah, that would be great. Okay, thanks.

378
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:53,800
So, I've been studying the list of
activities. What do you recommend?

379
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,800
Take a look.

380
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:57,279
Hi, Hannah.

381
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,280
Candy cane?

382
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,760
Ah, okay. No, too early for sweets.

383
00:22:00,980 --> 00:22:01,980
Never too early.

384
00:22:02,180 --> 00:22:03,180
My feelings exactly.

385
00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:05,640
Oh, look here. Caroling tomorrow night.

386
00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:07,300
Oh, I haven't been caroling in years.

387
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,040
Hmm. What about you?

388
00:22:10,199 --> 00:22:13,920
Uh, no, I haven't been caroling since I
was a kid with my parents. You remember

389
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,520
your mom used to always sing so loud.

390
00:22:16,340 --> 00:22:19,280
Remember that? Even though she could not
carry a tune.

391
00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:23,040
Well, if you ask me, it's important to
be a part of one's community.

392
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:25,180
No man's an island, isn't that the
expression?

393
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,680
Yeah, I think so.

394
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:28,660
But I don't really know anybody here
anymore.

395
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,520
All the more reason. If you want to get
to know people, you've got to get out

396
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,040
there and mingle and spend time with
them.

397
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,840
Actually, back in the day, we did pull
off a pretty good duet and choir.

398
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,180
Yeah, but you always sang over me. It's
all about the harmony.

399
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,140
And we could invite Tina.

400
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,020
Like a festive do -over?

401
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:45,980
Exactly. What do you think? You game?

402
00:22:47,260 --> 00:22:48,260
Great.

403
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:01,160
Was there an explosion in there?

404
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,720
Oh, Beth.

405
00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:04,270
I'm baking brownies.

406
00:23:04,570 --> 00:23:05,930
I'll bring you over a batch.

407
00:23:06,190 --> 00:23:07,830
Well, I will not say no to that.

408
00:23:08,930 --> 00:23:10,630
Baked goods aren't why you stopped by,
though.

409
00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:11,990
Did you want to come inside?

410
00:23:12,770 --> 00:23:16,390
Oh, um... Well, um... No, thanks.

411
00:23:17,170 --> 00:23:20,770
The reason I'm here is because I want to
invite you to go caroling with me

412
00:23:20,770 --> 00:23:21,770
tomorrow.

413
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:25,130
That's not... Would it help if I said I
would not take no for an answer?

414
00:23:25,990 --> 00:23:29,170
It's just that there's going to be a lot
of people there that I used to know

415
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:31,150
before my parents passed away, and...

416
00:23:31,550 --> 00:23:35,650
Well, the truth is it's been a little
overwhelming being back here.

417
00:23:36,270 --> 00:23:38,770
Yeah, I can understand that.

418
00:23:39,250 --> 00:23:45,190
And since you're new to town, I figured
that we could be each other's holiday

419
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:46,190
partners in crime.

420
00:23:46,670 --> 00:23:47,990
That's not a real thing.

421
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:52,110
Well, I figured you of all people would
appreciate a little artistic liberty.

422
00:23:53,450 --> 00:23:54,950
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

423
00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:58,190
Bye.

424
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:03,220
According to his list, Tyler wants his
first bicycle.

425
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,240
My nephew is old enough to ride a bike.

426
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,340
A tricycle is a great idea.

427
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,900
Yeah, maybe I'll just get him a
motorcycle.

428
00:24:10,420 --> 00:24:11,420
Sounds fun.

429
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:13,780
Hannah, okay, what is on your mind?

430
00:24:14,180 --> 00:24:16,540
I'm sorry, I just keep thinking of
Ryan's idea.

431
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,500
I wish he would have just kept it to
himself.

432
00:24:18,940 --> 00:24:20,360
Why are you letting him get to you?

433
00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:23,520
Because I had some clear plan and now
I'm all confused.

434
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,980
Yeah, I mean, just because he worked at
some fancy company doesn't mean he knows

435
00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:27,980
what's best for the press.

436
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,840
Meanwhile, my parents want me to look at
marketing ideas.

437
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:33,840
How do they feel about him getting the
job at Pages over you?

438
00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:35,260
They don't know about it.

439
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,940
I was so embarrassed. I didn't want to
bring it up. I felt like such a failure.

440
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,160
One rejection is not a failure.

441
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,900
I think I got the message loud and
clear.

442
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,700
You know what? I was going to go back to
the press after graduation anyway, so

443
00:24:47,700 --> 00:24:49,140
whatever.

444
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,020
I'm sorry things didn't work out with
Tina, but I'm proud of you for trying.

445
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,480
That was a bold step. Oh, thank you.

446
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,180
You know, I'm going to give it one more
try. She seems to go caroling with Ryan,

447
00:24:58,300 --> 00:24:59,720
but it's a long shot.

448
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,760
Well, I don't know what you'll do for
the printed press, but I do know what

449
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,760
you're doing tonight.

450
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,920
What? No, come on. I have so much work
to do. You know, as your best friend,

451
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,480
it's my job to make sure you have fun
this season, which is why I signed you

452
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,060
for the toy drive next week. And
tonight, we skate.

453
00:25:16,220 --> 00:25:17,360
Okay, fine. You know what?

454
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600
We can indulge in some childlike wonder.

455
00:25:28,819 --> 00:25:30,280
Thank you again for dinner.

456
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,480
Yeah, of course.

457
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,940
I'm glad you decided to stick around.

458
00:25:33,580 --> 00:25:37,320
You can finally meet Ashley. Hey, I'm
sorry again about the wedding. I just

459
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,320
couldn't get away.

460
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,380
You missed Hannah's killer speech.

461
00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:42,800
Hannah was in the wedding party? Yep,
yep.

462
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,300
When Ash moved to town after I graduated
law school, Hannah was her first

463
00:25:46,300 --> 00:25:49,240
friend. She really kind of took her
under her wing.

464
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,920
Hey. Since you're here, you have to join
us for Christmas.

465
00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:57,820
That's really thoughtful, but I think
I'll do my own thing.

466
00:25:58,660 --> 00:25:59,660
Which is?

467
00:26:00,420 --> 00:26:02,340
I don't know, probably something in New
York.

468
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:03,920
You should be with your family.

469
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,180
Okay, well, if you change your mind,
you're always welcome.

470
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,380
I appreciate that, but I'm looking
forward to meeting Ashley another time.

471
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:11,920
No time like the present.

472
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,600
The night is young.

473
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:19,560
To make up for the hockey game you're
missing this weekend?

474
00:26:20,770 --> 00:26:21,770
Sort of.

475
00:26:22,910 --> 00:26:24,230
Hey. Hi.

476
00:26:24,610 --> 00:26:25,610
Hi.

477
00:26:27,750 --> 00:26:29,050
Ashley, this is Ryan.

478
00:26:29,610 --> 00:26:32,310
This is the famous Ryan that I've been
hearing all about.

479
00:26:32,650 --> 00:26:38,530
Ah, I see my reputation precedes me. I
said an old classmate was back in town,

480
00:26:38,570 --> 00:26:39,489
that's all.

481
00:26:39,490 --> 00:26:42,510
Well, it's great to finally meet you
after all these years.

482
00:26:42,770 --> 00:26:46,170
Tom says that you own a local bookshop.
I do. You should come by and check out

483
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:47,129
our Christmas sale.

484
00:26:47,130 --> 00:26:50,070
I'd love to. You won't want to miss our
Storytime with Santa event we have next

485
00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:51,029
week.

486
00:26:51,030 --> 00:26:52,030
Which is?

487
00:26:52,330 --> 00:26:55,490
We do a reading of classic Christmas
stories for the kids. The Press is

488
00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:56,490
one of the sponsors.

489
00:26:56,570 --> 00:26:57,570
Wow.

490
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:00,250
I haven't seen anything on the website.

491
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:02,090
Because we don't do it for the
publicity.

492
00:27:02,410 --> 00:27:03,630
No, I wasn't implying.

493
00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:06,710
Do you need any more volunteers?

494
00:27:07,170 --> 00:27:08,950
The more the merrier. Thanks, Ryan.

495
00:27:09,250 --> 00:27:10,250
Okay, great.

496
00:27:10,450 --> 00:27:12,270
So, where do we get some skits?

497
00:27:26,909 --> 00:27:29,190
You want to race around the rink for old
time's sake?

498
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:31,830
I think I'm beyond that.

499
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:34,670
All right. I guess I'll just remain
undefeated.

500
00:27:53,060 --> 00:27:55,440
Yeah, probably for the best for both of
us.

501
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,800
Good morning.

502
00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:11,620
Hey, ready to face the music tonight?

503
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,300
Literally? Yeah. At least it'll be a lot
less perilous than ice skating. Oh,

504
00:28:16,300 --> 00:28:18,320
come on, not for you. Weren't you on the
hockey team at Pages?

505
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,580
You really do know my entire bio, don't
you?

506
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:26,570
Well, your company profile was very
detailed on their website, so... Oh, so

507
00:28:26,570 --> 00:28:27,570
looked me up online.

508
00:28:28,190 --> 00:28:29,190
Got it.

509
00:28:31,510 --> 00:28:33,090
But I was just curious about your work.

510
00:28:38,970 --> 00:28:40,870
I hope I remember the lyrics.

511
00:28:41,210 --> 00:28:44,990
Oh, come on, I don't come back to you.
You just have to get back on the saddle.

512
00:28:46,380 --> 00:28:50,740
Are you referring to my legendary fall
when we took riding lessons? You could

513
00:28:50,740 --> 00:28:51,880
never drop that.

514
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,800
That's because it's the only thing I was
better at than you. That's not true.

515
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:57,140
You were better at me than lots of
things, and you still are.

516
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,700
Hey, your partner in crime has arrived.
Well, it looks like you're all set with

517
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:02,700
Hannah here.

518
00:29:03,220 --> 00:29:06,860
Yeah, but I'm glad you made it. Thank
you for coming. Thank you for inviting

519
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:07,900
Hi, Hannah. Hi.

520
00:29:07,940 --> 00:29:09,300
Good evening, Angel Falls.

521
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,480
I hope you're all feeling the Christmas
spirit.

522
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,460
Well, good night.

523
00:29:16,170 --> 00:29:22,810
We have a very special treat without
further ado the church choir is going to

524
00:29:22,810 --> 00:29:24,810
lead us in our first Carol

525
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,880
You don't remember us, do you? Yes, I
do, Dolores.

526
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,760
Gloria, how are you?

527
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,040
You were right.

528
00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:13,840
Nice to see you, too.

529
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Oh, my goodness.

530
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,620
Ryan, you look so much like your father
when he was your age.

531
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,640
So, does anyone know what song is next?

532
00:30:24,140 --> 00:30:27,580
Gloria, Dolores, this is Tina Finnegan,
author of some of my favorite books.

533
00:30:27,820 --> 00:30:28,819
Oh, what a pleasure.

534
00:30:28,820 --> 00:30:32,780
What have you written? Oh, you would
love her books. So many of them are

535
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:33,780
the magic of Christmas.

536
00:30:34,300 --> 00:30:35,540
Well, then, maybe.

537
00:30:35,950 --> 00:30:38,010
You can settle a debate for us.

538
00:30:38,510 --> 00:30:40,210
Ribbons or popcorn strings?

539
00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:45,110
Well, they're both worthy options. You
know, I say ribbons. They're colorful,

540
00:30:45,250 --> 00:30:47,190
and you can just toss them right on the
plate.

541
00:30:47,490 --> 00:30:49,070
Wrong. It's popcorn strings.

542
00:30:49,950 --> 00:30:52,830
They're delicious, and they look good on
the tree. It's a double threat. It's a

543
00:30:52,830 --> 00:30:54,970
no -brainer. All that needle and
threading takes forever.

544
00:30:55,330 --> 00:30:57,650
I dare you to prove me wrong. Okay, and
if I do?

545
00:30:58,290 --> 00:30:59,470
Cough me on me until you leave.

546
00:30:59,710 --> 00:31:01,810
Throw in a muffin, you got yourself a
deal. I don't.

547
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,020
No, see, they've always been my place.
They used to babysit my son. They remind

548
00:31:06,020 --> 00:31:09,700
me of myself and my husband, Lawrence,
when we were dating. It was all

549
00:31:09,820 --> 00:31:14,260
Oh, no, no, it's not like that. We're
just... Will your husband be joining us?

550
00:31:14,260 --> 00:31:15,260
would love to meet him.

551
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,160
He won't.

552
00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:24,560
It was very nice to meet you. I, um... I
think I'm going to head home. I'm just

553
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,680
feeling a little tired. Thank you for
inviting me out.

554
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,460
Tina, it's not over yet. I'd like to
meet you, too. Bye -bye.

555
00:31:39,459 --> 00:31:40,459
So, how was Caroline?

556
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Successful? If by successful you mean
not spilling hot chocolate on myself,

557
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
yes.

558
00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:50,340
No, actually, Tina ran off before we
were able to spend any time with her.

559
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,000
Really? Oh, I'm sure you'll get another
chance.

560
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:55,600
Yeah, I hope so. I feel like I keep
upsetting her, though.

561
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:56,880
How so?

562
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,500
Well, and last night she left right
after I asked her about her husband.

563
00:32:00,940 --> 00:32:04,380
Oh. Look, relationships are sensitive
subjects.

564
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:07,100
Let her share her personal life in her
own time.

565
00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:08,860
Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't pry.

566
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,160
So besides Tina leaving early, did you
at least enjoy yourself?

567
00:32:13,460 --> 00:32:14,720
Yeah. Yeah, I did.

568
00:32:14,940 --> 00:32:18,940
But I didn't accomplish anything, so...
The most rewarding experiences occur

569
00:32:18,940 --> 00:32:20,840
when you aren't trying to achieve
something specific.

570
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:22,900
Meaning?

571
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,820
Meaning... Enjoy the moment and don't
worry about the tangible stuff.

572
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:30,880
Do you charge for this wisdom?

573
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,180
I'll put it on your tab.

574
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:35,060
Oh, oh, by the way.

575
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,200
I bought way too many decorations.

576
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,180
Think you can use any of these?

577
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,740
I've already decorated, but that's
really generous.

578
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,899
You know what?

579
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:47,180
Take them anyway. You never know when
the mood's going to strike.

580
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,240
Well,

581
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,820
I'll get this one.

582
00:33:17,199 --> 00:33:21,640
What are you doing out in the cold? I
don't know. Sometimes I like to let my

583
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,220
ideas marinate in the fresh air.

584
00:33:23,420 --> 00:33:25,680
I'm trying to figure out what direction
to take the path.

585
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,920
That's funny.

586
00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:28,240
You think it's silly, don't you?

587
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:30,560
No. I was doing the same thing.

588
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,080
Oh. So you weren't just talking to
yourself back there? No, I was preparing

589
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,959
a job interview.

590
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,700
Yeah, um, how come you left Pages?

591
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,020
I mean, it's like you were climbing the
ladder.

592
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:43,840
I was, but then we got taken over by a
bigger company and everything just

593
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,300
changed. Changed how so?

594
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,320
The, uh, the culture became a lot more
corporate.

595
00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:50,700
What?

596
00:33:51,140 --> 00:33:56,120
Okay, yes, I do care about the bottom
line, but I felt my integrity slipping

597
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,120
that's important to me.

598
00:33:57,260 --> 00:33:58,720
Is there a new job in publishing too?

599
00:33:58,940 --> 00:34:01,800
No, it's in software, but... Marketing
is marketing, right?

600
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,340
Like, Ryan, what are you passionate
about?

601
00:34:03,980 --> 00:34:05,080
That's a good question.

602
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:11,060
I don't know. After school, I started at
Pages, and now you know the rest.

603
00:34:13,139 --> 00:34:17,199
You know, it's getting a little chilly
out, so I think I'm going to head back

604
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,620
work. But good luck with your job
interview.

605
00:34:20,860 --> 00:34:22,060
Thanks. Sure.

606
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,080
I just came by to drop this off.

607
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,800
What is happening in here?

608
00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:36,139
Come in.

609
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,179
I told you we should have just bought
the cookies like last year.

610
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:40,639
This is a disaster.

611
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,260
I thought it would be more special if we
made them ourselves.

612
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,320
Oh, it's just a baking emergency.

613
00:34:47,699 --> 00:34:48,699
Just?

614
00:34:48,739 --> 00:34:51,560
You know what? These cookies are for the
Storytime with Santa event this

615
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,340
afternoon, and we have no cookies, and
you can't have Santa without cookies.

616
00:34:57,230 --> 00:35:00,330
Actually, I may be able to help. You
know how to bake.

617
00:35:00,910 --> 00:35:01,910
Not me.

618
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,600
Hey, do you ladies think you can help
Icey? Yeah. Is that good?

619
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:22,860
For sure.

620
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,720
We are so grateful to you and for Ryan
for bringing you to our rescue.

621
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,560
He seems like quite the gentleman.

622
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,340
Yeah, he did come through for us today.

623
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,740
Hannah is always saying she wishes
chivalry would make a comeback.

624
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,980
Well, considering my bad luck with
dating, I'm just not sure it exists

625
00:35:37,140 --> 00:35:40,760
Is it possible that your ideal match
checklist is a bit unrealistic?

626
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,240
Okay, you know what? If it is
unrealistic to want a guy who's

627
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,360
can make me laugh, and who supports my
ambitions, then I will gladly stay

628
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,120
single. What do you think, Miss
Finnegan?

629
00:35:51,340 --> 00:35:52,540
Yeah, am I aiming too high?

630
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,300
Oh, well, first of all, call me Tina,
please.

631
00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:57,140
And no, not at all.

632
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:00,860
My Lauren, he was exactly like you
described.

633
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,200
When?

634
00:36:06,460 --> 00:36:08,540
He passed away six months ago.

635
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,620
I'm so sorry for your loss.

636
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,380
He sounds like a wonderful man.

637
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,580
We had a beautiful life together.

638
00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:25,840
But, you know, my advice to you is don't
settle.

639
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,800
Yes, ma 'am. I agree.

640
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,160
You know, these are perfect.

641
00:36:30,540 --> 00:36:34,840
You should come by to the party to see
everybody enjoy your treat. Yeah. I

642
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,220
know. I was planning on staying in
tonight.

643
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:39,900
Oh.

644
00:36:40,140 --> 00:36:41,720
Well, you could read one of your
favorite stories.

645
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,060
I would be thrilled to put you on the
list of presenters.

646
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,760
I'll think about stopping by.

647
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:50,620
Okay.

648
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Right?

649
00:36:57,460 --> 00:36:58,460
They look so good.

650
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:02,760
I'm so happy with that. Ryan McDonald
reporting for duty.

651
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:04,020
Great timing.

652
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,780
I just finished rewriting the story
assignment.

653
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,180
Oh, that's great. And just so you know,
I've been practicing my Jack Frost voice

654
00:37:10,180 --> 00:37:11,560
all night, so it's...

655
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,620
That may have been in vain. Our friends
Gabby and Jack got called out of town

656
00:37:15,620 --> 00:37:17,160
last minute. His aunt took ill.

657
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,620
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

658
00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:20,680
But what does it have to do with me?

659
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,520
Oh, you and Hannah are going to take
over for them. You're doing Twas the

660
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,520
Before Christmas.

661
00:37:25,060 --> 00:37:28,780
And... This is your costume.

662
00:37:29,340 --> 00:37:31,360
I was not aware of the dress code.

663
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,160
How come you get off the hook? Oh, I'm
not off the hook.

664
00:37:34,460 --> 00:37:38,460
Wow, that is... Glorious. You look good.
I know. I stand corrected.

665
00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:40,420
Hey.

666
00:37:40,750 --> 00:37:41,970
By the way, how did it go with Tina?

667
00:37:42,230 --> 00:37:45,710
Oh, well, you know, she saved the day.
But listen, I learned that she lost her

668
00:37:45,710 --> 00:37:46,710
husband recently.

669
00:37:46,770 --> 00:37:47,770
Did you know that?

670
00:37:48,170 --> 00:37:49,350
No. Yeah.

671
00:37:49,930 --> 00:37:51,130
Oh, that's awful.

672
00:37:52,150 --> 00:37:54,890
Yeah, so I'm hoping that there's
something we can do to maybe cheer her

673
00:37:54,890 --> 00:37:57,010
little. There she is. Hi, Tina.

674
00:37:57,530 --> 00:38:00,170
Hi. Hey, we're just about to get
started.

675
00:38:01,050 --> 00:38:02,050
Hi.

676
00:38:02,310 --> 00:38:03,310
These are great.

677
00:38:03,370 --> 00:38:04,370
This looks fantastic.

678
00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:09,910
It was the night before Christmas. And
all through the house.

679
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,000
Not a creature was stirring.

680
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,020
Not even a mouse. The stockings were
hung.

681
00:38:15,260 --> 00:38:19,900
By the chimney with care. In hopes that
St. Nicholas would soon be there.

682
00:38:21,660 --> 00:38:25,740
Happy Christmas to all. And to all a
good night.

683
00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:30,240
Mr.

684
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,560
Santa, can I give you a message?

685
00:38:32,940 --> 00:38:34,300
Of course, little girl.

686
00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:39,650
I'm going to my grandma's for Christmas,
and I wanted you to have my address so

687
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:40,650
you could find me.

688
00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:46,370
As long as you've been a good little
girl, Santa will find you no matter

689
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:47,209
you are.

690
00:38:47,210 --> 00:38:49,210
I've been good, Santa, I promise.

691
00:38:49,810 --> 00:38:51,210
He's so good with them.

692
00:38:51,730 --> 00:38:56,550
Ah, then you'll be on my nice list. Now
don't forget to leave some cookies out

693
00:38:56,550 --> 00:38:57,550
for Santa.

694
00:38:59,990 --> 00:39:02,690
Okay, well, I think we have one last
story.

695
00:39:03,010 --> 00:39:04,710
Actually... Could I read something?

696
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:06,650
Sure, by all means.

697
00:39:09,910 --> 00:39:12,090
Thank you.

698
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:13,770
Hi, kids.

699
00:39:14,850 --> 00:39:19,150
I'd like to share a story that my
husband and I always enjoyed during the

700
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:20,150
holidays.

701
00:39:20,450 --> 00:39:25,510
A long time ago, in a gingerbread land,
there were two elves.

702
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:36,140
Merry Christmas.

703
00:39:36,980 --> 00:39:37,980
Hey, Anthony.

704
00:39:38,060 --> 00:39:39,900
Ryan. Hi. What are you up to?

705
00:39:40,340 --> 00:39:44,740
Oh, I am just exploring and meeting new
people. Ah, well, you know, soon you'll

706
00:39:44,740 --> 00:39:46,880
know everything about them. They'll know
everything about you.

707
00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:49,480
The nature of a small town. But did that
bother you?

708
00:39:49,700 --> 00:39:53,460
I don't know. It took me a couple days
to get acclimated, but now I kind of

709
00:39:53,460 --> 00:39:56,180
forward to running into a familiar face.
Case in point, yourself.

710
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,440
You know, I haven't completely gotten my
bearings yet, so if you think of any

711
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,300
gems I should see, please let me know.
Actually, I haven't gotten fully

712
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:03,820
reacquainted with Angel Falls yet.

713
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,120
It's been a while since I thought about
all the details.

714
00:40:06,420 --> 00:40:08,480
That's a complicated thing about
memories, isn't it?

715
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:12,780
Sometimes it seems easier to avoid them
rather than face the pain they can

716
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:16,180
cause. Yeah, I've certainly been guilty
of that.

717
00:40:17,140 --> 00:40:21,020
But when we do that, we miss out on all
the joy those memories can also bring.

718
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,520
Right? Yeah, that's true.

719
00:40:23,140 --> 00:40:24,640
Well, have a great day. Thank you.

720
00:40:34,510 --> 00:40:35,510
I wanted to return this.

721
00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:37,950
Oh. Finished it already?

722
00:40:38,210 --> 00:40:41,610
And enjoyed it, no less. Yeah? Now you
gotta let me recommend something.

723
00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:43,310
Okay, fine. Fair is fair.

724
00:40:43,530 --> 00:40:44,488
Oh, really?

725
00:40:44,490 --> 00:40:48,930
Yeah. Okay. In that case, I'll have a
pile of sci -fi books and action movies

726
00:40:48,930 --> 00:40:51,130
your desk by tomorrow.

727
00:40:51,610 --> 00:40:53,170
Okay, you can bring one thing.

728
00:40:53,750 --> 00:40:54,750
Fine.

729
00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:59,850
Gosh, the Christmas celebrations Tina
described in her book are so elaborate.

730
00:41:00,310 --> 00:41:01,310
Yeah, I know.

731
00:41:02,050 --> 00:41:05,860
Which... It's ironic seeing how we've
had to convince her to come to any

732
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:06,860
seasonal event.

733
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,560
No, I have an idea. What are you doing
tomorrow?

734
00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:13,820
No plans.

735
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,499
All right.

736
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:17,920
Should we get this tree to the car?

737
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,160
Yes. Okay.

738
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,720
Do you take the saw off?

739
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:24,180
You know what?

740
00:41:25,260 --> 00:41:27,440
I've never been an athlete. Oh, yeah.

741
00:41:27,850 --> 00:41:31,570
I know. I remember you in gym class. I'm
not going to lie. A toddler could catch

742
00:41:31,570 --> 00:41:32,509
better than you could.

743
00:41:32,510 --> 00:41:34,450
You know what? I handed out that water
like a pro.

744
00:41:36,450 --> 00:41:37,970
You're good at everything you do.

745
00:41:39,110 --> 00:41:42,150
So, what are you into these days besides
working for the press?

746
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,690
You know, museums, concerts, theater.

747
00:41:46,430 --> 00:41:48,310
Actually, I go to New York a lot to
catch the new show.

748
00:41:49,610 --> 00:41:50,610
What?

749
00:41:50,710 --> 00:41:52,370
You go to New York? You don't call me?

750
00:41:52,690 --> 00:41:54,170
I'm always in and out so fast.

751
00:41:54,490 --> 00:41:56,490
Next time you should call me, I'll go to
a show with you.

752
00:41:57,190 --> 00:42:00,670
I mean, unless you got somebody else
that you'd rather go with.

753
00:42:01,270 --> 00:42:02,950
Are you asking me if I have a boyfriend?

754
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:05,670
No, I don't.

755
00:42:06,230 --> 00:42:07,810
He's been kind of unlucky in love.

756
00:42:08,430 --> 00:42:12,090
I've actually kind of given up looking
for that special person, so... Yeah.

757
00:42:12,670 --> 00:42:16,590
Yeah, I get that. It's hard to find
somebody who really understands you and

758
00:42:16,590 --> 00:42:17,529
can trust.

759
00:42:17,530 --> 00:42:18,530
Have you?

760
00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:22,170
Found someone? I mean... No.

761
00:42:23,150 --> 00:42:24,150
Maybe someday.

762
00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:27,910
Yeah, we can't all be lucky like Tina.

763
00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:30,370
Seems like Lawrence was her ideal match.

764
00:42:32,190 --> 00:42:33,190
Yeah.

765
00:42:34,250 --> 00:42:36,290
Well, should we try this again?

766
00:42:36,570 --> 00:42:39,450
Yeah. Okay. All right. Lift with the
legs.

767
00:42:40,110 --> 00:42:41,150
I believe in you.

768
00:42:42,410 --> 00:42:43,410
One of us does.

769
00:42:49,450 --> 00:42:50,730
What is all this?

770
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:54,500
We're here to give the house a Christmas
makeover. Yeah, we figured anyone who

771
00:42:54,500 --> 00:42:56,580
could depict the perfect Christmas
deserves one herself.

772
00:42:57,220 --> 00:42:59,820
There's really no need to do this. Oh,
yes, there is.

773
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,580
You deserve the full holiday experience.
Yeah, and we're going to take care of

774
00:43:03,580 --> 00:43:06,640
everything. It's our way of saying thank
you for all the joy you brought us this

775
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,600
season. So I guess you're coming inside
today.

776
00:43:08,900 --> 00:43:12,200
I thought he was worried he'd get stuck
listening to all my stories. Well, the

777
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:16,500
truth is that I thought it would be hard
to come into the house after all this

778
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:19,200
time, but I think I'm ready.

779
00:43:20,540 --> 00:43:21,860
Okay. Let's do this.

780
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,040
That's perfect.

781
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,160
Yeah, right? Look at this. Look.

782
00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:32,640
Adorable. Mama and baby.

783
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:36,080
Are you okay?

784
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,480
Yeah, I'm fine.

785
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,380
Being in here brings back a lot of
memories.

786
00:43:40,940 --> 00:43:44,520
Our family shared so many happy times
here over the years.

787
00:43:44,740 --> 00:43:45,960
Well, feel free to look around.

788
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,200
Hey, you were right, by the way.

789
00:43:48,420 --> 00:43:49,420
This, uh...

790
00:43:49,690 --> 00:43:52,410
popcorn string really makes for some
tasty decor.

791
00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:53,770
I tried to tell you.

792
00:43:55,410 --> 00:43:56,410
Aw.

793
00:43:57,650 --> 00:43:58,890
What a beautiful couple.

794
00:44:00,370 --> 00:44:02,070
Hey, was that one taking an angel fall?

795
00:44:02,510 --> 00:44:03,510
It was.

796
00:44:04,090 --> 00:44:05,110
Lawrence grew up here.

797
00:44:06,010 --> 00:44:07,570
Is that why you came back to town?

798
00:44:08,030 --> 00:44:11,350
Yeah. Being here makes me feel closer to
him.

799
00:44:11,590 --> 00:44:12,590
I know what you mean.

800
00:44:13,270 --> 00:44:18,030
Keeping in touch with Leslie, that's
Hannah's mom, has always been important

801
00:44:18,030 --> 00:44:18,988
me.

802
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:20,630
Makes me feel closer to town.

803
00:44:20,910 --> 00:44:22,150
I didn't realize that.

804
00:44:23,590 --> 00:44:26,590
Angel Falls seems like an idyllic place
to grow up.

805
00:44:26,890 --> 00:44:28,050
Lawrence loved it here.

806
00:44:28,510 --> 00:44:31,550
And you, do you think you'll make it
your permanent home?

807
00:44:32,170 --> 00:44:34,790
I'm not sure anywhere is going to feel
like home to me.

808
00:44:35,170 --> 00:44:37,950
Well, when it feels right, you'll know
you're home.

809
00:44:38,190 --> 00:44:41,610
Yeah, you know, maybe you just need to
explore the town some more and figure

810
00:44:41,610 --> 00:44:42,810
why Lawrence loved it so much.

811
00:44:43,350 --> 00:44:44,970
Like you said, in memories for
Christmas.

812
00:44:45,650 --> 00:44:47,790
Home isn't a place on the map, it's a...

813
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,520
Feeling in your heart. You do have a way
with words.

814
00:44:50,740 --> 00:44:51,820
I used to, anyway.

815
00:44:52,500 --> 00:44:54,960
I'm afraid the proverbial ink has run
dry.

816
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,920
Well, then, maybe you'd like to read
something that Hannah's worked on. She's

817
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,080
amazing fiction editor.

818
00:45:01,380 --> 00:45:02,560
That doesn't surprise me.

819
00:45:02,780 --> 00:45:06,620
You read novels from the press? Yeah,
your mom sends me copies. You have a

820
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:10,280
instinct. I can tell. Yeah, but, I mean,
we don't have any sci -fi.

821
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,420
I know, but I want to support you.

822
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,880
Support the press, I mean.

823
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:22,470
Well, um, thanks.

824
00:45:25,410 --> 00:45:30,650
We should, uh, finish decorating the
tree. Yeah. I'll be right back.

825
00:45:33,430 --> 00:45:35,870
Did I say something to upset her again?

826
00:45:37,990 --> 00:45:38,990
I don't know.

827
00:45:43,430 --> 00:45:44,430
Wow.

828
00:45:45,450 --> 00:45:46,450
That's beautiful.

829
00:45:47,549 --> 00:45:49,590
Lawrence's old family heirloom.

830
00:45:50,530 --> 00:45:52,090
Who wants to put it on the tree?

831
00:45:52,650 --> 00:45:54,810
Oh, no. We couldn't. No.

832
00:45:55,610 --> 00:45:58,070
Here, here. You do the honors.

833
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:27,240
Hi, Maxine.

834
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,320
First off, I want to thank you for the
interview and the opportunity.

835
00:46:30,720 --> 00:46:35,160
Well, your resume was extremely
impressive, and the reference we

836
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,300
pages was glowing.

837
00:46:36,980 --> 00:46:38,560
Well, that's good to hear.

838
00:46:38,780 --> 00:46:43,260
As for us, we have hundreds of employees
across multiple offices nationwide.

839
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:48,280
You'll be reporting to a team of project
managers, marketing execs, creative

840
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,600
directors, and we'll have an excellent
support staff at your disposal should

841
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:53,600
need them.

842
00:46:56,620 --> 00:46:57,620
Good morning, Hannah.

843
00:46:58,260 --> 00:46:59,260
You're looking chipper.

844
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:02,200
You were right, by the way.

845
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,300
Can you be more specific?

846
00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:10,100
Well, Ryan and I spent some time with
Tina without any agenda, and she really

847
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:10,759
opened up.

848
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,200
So can we classify it as a successful
experience?

849
00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:14,540
Yeah, I think we can.

850
00:47:15,020 --> 00:47:17,800
And it was such an honor, you know,
learning more about her. I mean,

851
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,420
because I'm such a fan of her work. You
know, maybe you can apply this new

852
00:47:20,420 --> 00:47:21,420
philosophy towards others.

853
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,680
You know, actually, Ryan opened up, too,
and he's... surprisingly skillful tree

854
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:28,680
trimmer, by the way.

855
00:47:29,060 --> 00:47:30,720
It sounds like you made a good team.

856
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,960
You know, joining forces to collaborate
can be an excellent idea.

857
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,440
Well, well.

858
00:47:44,140 --> 00:47:47,040
Hey. I would have thought you would have
finished all your Christmas shopping by

859
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,420
now. Oh, mostly, but I wanted to get the
perfect gift for my parents, so I had

860
00:47:50,420 --> 00:47:51,460
to buy and return a few times.

861
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,540
What about that whole it's the thought
that counts thing? Oh, come on. That is

862
00:47:55,540 --> 00:47:57,860
something that people with no gift
-giving imagination say.

863
00:47:58,140 --> 00:47:59,140
Wow, that is harsh.

864
00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:00,580
But true. Yeah, true.

865
00:48:01,020 --> 00:48:03,240
I hope my aunt and uncle like what I'm
sending them.

866
00:48:03,940 --> 00:48:06,600
I'll give you a consultation on your
parents' gift. On the house.

867
00:48:08,140 --> 00:48:09,058
On the gift?

868
00:48:09,060 --> 00:48:10,060
Uh, no.

869
00:48:10,860 --> 00:48:15,140
But, uh, listen, um, would you be
willing to walk me through what you

870
00:48:15,140 --> 00:48:16,360
for the bigger financial department?

871
00:48:17,550 --> 00:48:19,010
I thought you would never ask.

872
00:48:19,270 --> 00:48:21,950
Listen, I'm not sure that I'm willing to
take the risk on that kind of

873
00:48:21,950 --> 00:48:23,670
expansion, but I would like the full
picture.

874
00:48:24,210 --> 00:48:25,570
What are you so worried about?

875
00:48:26,350 --> 00:48:30,090
Rolling the dice and putting the entire
company in financial jeopardy. No big

876
00:48:30,090 --> 00:48:31,090
deal.

877
00:48:31,570 --> 00:48:37,630
Hannah, you are so talented, and you're
passionate about your job.

878
00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:41,030
There's no reason that you can't take it
to the next level and be successful.

879
00:48:41,390 --> 00:48:44,650
I don't know. I'm pretty content with
things the way they are. Are you

880
00:48:44,830 --> 00:48:46,510
or are you just afraid to put yourself
out there?

881
00:48:47,859 --> 00:48:51,040
Because even if Tina doesn't come on
board, there are other writers you can

882
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,040
foster.

883
00:48:52,500 --> 00:48:54,260
Anyone would be happy to work with you.

884
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:57,940
Wow, that's really kind of you to say.

885
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,580
Um, listen, I read that statistical
thing that you emailed me.

886
00:49:05,460 --> 00:49:06,740
Oh, yeah, and?

887
00:49:07,180 --> 00:49:08,880
And the numbers added up.

888
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,120
Pun intended.

889
00:49:10,180 --> 00:49:11,760
You know, you're really savvy with
numbers.

890
00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:14,240
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

891
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,800
Was that a compliment?

892
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,040
No.

893
00:49:17,049 --> 00:49:20,230
Consider it your early Christmas gift,
okay? Thank you. You're so kind.

894
00:49:21,430 --> 00:49:24,850
You know, I think I might overhaul this
door after the holidays.

895
00:49:25,110 --> 00:49:28,750
Change things up a bit. You should ask
Ryan for tips on what to do with your

896
00:49:28,750 --> 00:49:29,750
display.

897
00:49:30,190 --> 00:49:31,190
Okay.

898
00:49:31,530 --> 00:49:33,790
Interesting. What? Why is that
interesting?

899
00:49:34,050 --> 00:49:35,050
You don't want any suggestions?

900
00:49:35,810 --> 00:49:38,350
I'm just surprised that you're
suggesting Ryan to me.

901
00:49:38,590 --> 00:49:40,850
Oh, well, you know, he's not so bad
after all.

902
00:49:41,570 --> 00:49:42,850
It's a Christmas miracle.

903
00:49:49,060 --> 00:49:54,900
Oh, hey, that's actually on the... You
did convince me about popcorn.

904
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:57,000
A woman of her word.

905
00:49:57,220 --> 00:49:58,220
Yeah, and you know what?

906
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,940
Two muffins as well. Wow, thank you.

907
00:50:01,220 --> 00:50:02,220
Yeah.

908
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:06,300
Would you excuse me for a sec? Yeah, of
course.

909
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,120
Hiya.

910
00:50:11,420 --> 00:50:15,020
Hi, Maxine. Good to hear from you. Ryan,
congratulations.

911
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,260
We'd love to offer you the position.

912
00:50:18,260 --> 00:50:19,260
That's amazing.

913
00:50:19,540 --> 00:50:20,880
Thank you so much.

914
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,500
Can I let you know?

915
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:31,420
Okay. But either way, I'm going to need
an answer before Christmas.

916
00:50:32,340 --> 00:50:33,660
Of course. I understand.

917
00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:35,860
And thanks again.

918
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:41,680
Hey, here you go.

919
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:42,800
Thank you. Yeah.

920
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,200
Okay?

921
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:48,980
Yeah, it was just the software company.
They had a few more questions.

922
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:51,520
Promising, right?

923
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:53,200
I think so.

924
00:50:53,740 --> 00:50:56,140
What do you think of this new
development?

925
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,280
There's plenty of time before Christmas.

926
00:51:00,540 --> 00:51:02,540
Everything is going to work out just as
it should.

927
00:51:10,030 --> 00:51:11,030
I have some great news.

928
00:51:11,550 --> 00:51:13,470
Okay, well, don't leave me hanging.

929
00:51:13,730 --> 00:51:14,910
These are the last documents to go.

930
00:51:15,450 --> 00:51:16,450
Really?

931
00:51:16,690 --> 00:51:20,370
I thought the process was going to take
more time. I knew you were anxious to be

932
00:51:20,370 --> 00:51:22,010
done with it, so I had a few things
expedited.

933
00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:23,990
The signings.

934
00:51:24,770 --> 00:51:25,770
All right.

935
00:51:25,970 --> 00:51:28,930
And then, um, what happens next?

936
00:51:29,350 --> 00:51:33,810
Now the estate belongs to you, so if you
want to sell the house, the decision is

937
00:51:33,810 --> 00:51:37,790
yours. And if you want, you can head
back to New York for Christmas like you

938
00:51:37,790 --> 00:51:38,790
planned.

939
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:46,460
Well, this is great news.

940
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:53,399
Hey, honey.

941
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:54,760
Hi. What's up?

942
00:51:55,180 --> 00:51:56,300
Well, two things.

943
00:51:56,780 --> 00:51:59,840
First, I've decided to be more welcoming
of Ryan's feedback.

944
00:52:00,220 --> 00:52:03,480
He and I are actually meeting later to
discuss the options for the press, and

945
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,380
then I will be ready to present my
proposal for next year's slate.

946
00:52:06,900 --> 00:52:08,840
Terrific. What's the second thing?

947
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:12,760
Are you free to come over tomorrow?

948
00:52:14,240 --> 00:52:15,240
Sure.

949
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,500
What's the agenda? No agenda, just
family time.

950
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:20,120
Sounds wonderful.

951
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,280
Everything all right?

952
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,600
Actually, I'm not sure.

953
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:36,260
Between you and me, I got a job offer
from the software company.

954
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:37,920
Oh.

955
00:52:39,549 --> 00:52:41,470
Does this mean that you'll be headed
back to New York?

956
00:52:43,170 --> 00:52:44,230
Yeah, I guess soon.

957
00:52:45,730 --> 00:52:52,530
I got my apartment there. I got this new
job waiting for me. It just seems

958
00:52:52,530 --> 00:52:53,810
like the most sensible thing to do.

959
00:52:55,170 --> 00:52:57,150
The sensible thing isn't always the
right thing.

960
00:52:57,770 --> 00:52:58,790
What do you want to do?

961
00:53:03,890 --> 00:53:06,970
Um, I don't know.

962
00:53:08,110 --> 00:53:14,030
I've just been going through the motions
for so long, I haven't really stopped

963
00:53:14,030 --> 00:53:15,030
to think about it.

964
00:53:15,850 --> 00:53:18,870
Well, sometimes it helps to bounce ideas
off another person.

965
00:53:20,650 --> 00:53:22,230
Yeah, that's not really my style.

966
00:53:23,370 --> 00:53:29,870
Just, uh, I've been relying on myself
for so long, I... I

967
00:53:29,870 --> 00:53:32,570
don't even remember to ask other people
for advice.

968
00:53:33,870 --> 00:53:35,690
Well, suit yourself.

969
00:53:36,590 --> 00:53:41,230
But it can be refreshing to put your
guard down, let someone else in.

970
00:53:51,590 --> 00:53:55,890
Welcome to my humble abode.

971
00:53:56,250 --> 00:53:57,249
Thank you.

972
00:53:57,250 --> 00:53:58,250
Chocolate?

973
00:53:58,370 --> 00:53:59,410
Yeah, that would be great.

974
00:54:02,750 --> 00:54:05,190
So just to confirm, you like books,
right?

975
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,140
Just my favorite thing.

976
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:08,960
Yeah, me too.

977
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,300
They've always given me a lot of
comfort.

978
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,480
Is that why you applied to Pages?

979
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:19,920
Uh, well, every time I would visit my
aunt and uncle, my face would always be

980
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,280
a book, trying to keep my mind off
things.

981
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:27,280
And then, um, one day my uncle suggested
that I turn it into something

982
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,380
productive. One day you're studying
business, and then all of a sudden you

983
00:54:31,380 --> 00:54:32,380
my dream job.

984
00:54:33,060 --> 00:54:34,060
Dream job?

985
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,820
What? I applied for everything in New
York.

986
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,040
Any excuse not to return to Angel Falls
and have to live in that house.

987
00:54:41,340 --> 00:54:45,300
Yeah, but... Come on, Ryan, you knew how
much that job meant to me.

988
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:49,040
Well, I asked the interviewer about you.

989
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,580
They said you were amazing, but that all
you could talk about was returning to

990
00:54:52,580 --> 00:54:54,200
the press. I thought you'd turned it
down.

991
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:55,600
Are you serious?

992
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:57,960
No, they never even offered it to me.

993
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,800
I didn't know that.

994
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,260
Wow, I thought you just... dazzled them
with your interview skills.

995
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,960
You know, I've actually been holding
this against you for a really long time.

996
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,040
I wish you would have said something.

997
00:55:15,300 --> 00:55:16,700
I feel horrible.

998
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:21,060
No, I feel horrible. I just, I don't
know, I was embarrassed.

999
00:55:21,340 --> 00:55:26,180
You know, I felt like I was in second
place. I just thought things came so

1000
00:55:26,180 --> 00:55:27,058
to you.

1001
00:55:27,060 --> 00:55:29,760
No, trust me, they did not.

1002
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:32,780
But in all fairness,

1003
00:55:33,580 --> 00:55:37,040
I should have talked to you before I
applied, so... No, no, hey, you've had a

1004
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,080
lot going on back then, and I completely
understand how overwhelmed you must

1005
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:45,880
have been. Yeah, I was, but... I would
never do anything to hurt you.

1006
00:55:46,580 --> 00:55:49,280
I'm just sorry that you've had that
impression of me for so long.

1007
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,260
No, I'm sorry I painted you as a villain
this whole time.

1008
00:55:54,380 --> 00:55:55,380
You know what?

1009
00:55:56,600 --> 00:56:01,380
You... are just like the protagonist
from Poinsettia Lane.

1010
00:56:02,110 --> 00:56:05,110
Wait, wait. You had time to read more of
Tina's book?

1011
00:56:05,730 --> 00:56:08,090
Yeah, I actually have a confession to
make.

1012
00:56:08,310 --> 00:56:11,150
Um, I've read all her books.

1013
00:56:11,550 --> 00:56:12,550
Are you serious?

1014
00:56:12,710 --> 00:56:15,950
Well, don't you remember who introduced
you to her work?

1015
00:56:17,270 --> 00:56:24,030
Oh, my gosh. I... I

1016
00:56:24,030 --> 00:56:26,370
completely forgot your mom gave me this.

1017
00:56:27,310 --> 00:56:28,590
I miss her.

1018
00:56:29,790 --> 00:56:30,790
Both of them.

1019
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:38,680
Yeah. So, Tina, how do you just say you
liked her books?

1020
00:56:39,340 --> 00:56:43,620
Well, when I found out that Tina was my
tenant, I didn't want to bring it up

1021
00:56:43,620 --> 00:56:48,500
with her because I didn't want to
embarrass her. So I just kind of put it

1022
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:51,600
and everything just sort of spiraled out
of control.

1023
00:56:52,020 --> 00:56:54,820
Wait, are you telling me that Ryan
McDonald has insecurities?

1024
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,320
Hannah.

1025
00:56:56,799 --> 00:56:57,799
Everyone does.

1026
00:56:58,220 --> 00:56:59,640
Well, you never seemed insecure to me.

1027
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:02,260
Well, then my efforts must have paid
off.

1028
00:57:04,980 --> 00:57:11,020
I don't know what to say. This is just a
lot to take in. Yeah.

1029
00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:13,360
Do you want to go for a walk?

1030
00:57:14,020 --> 00:57:15,020
Yeah.

1031
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:16,760
Sure.

1032
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:23,960
With your creative vision and my cost
-effective strategy, this could totally

1033
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,720
work. You know, it does make a lot of
sense.

1034
00:57:27,020 --> 00:57:28,880
Probably should have consulted you a few
days ago.

1035
00:57:29,380 --> 00:57:30,380
Oh, oh.

1036
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:32,100
Yeah.

1037
00:57:32,340 --> 00:57:36,800
Hey, how are things going? Did you
settle things with the software company?

1038
00:57:37,140 --> 00:57:38,720
Not yet. We're still in talks.

1039
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:41,260
It's the job that you want there, right?

1040
00:57:42,140 --> 00:57:43,720
I don't even know.

1041
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,120
What do you think?

1042
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,160
I don't know. I think you should do
whatever makes you feel the most

1043
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,118
and inspired.

1044
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,600
You make it sound so easy.

1045
00:57:51,820 --> 00:57:52,940
Because it is.

1046
00:57:53,630 --> 00:57:56,130
I mean, do you think the software
company is going to do that for you?

1047
00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:59,090
Not sure, but probably not.

1048
00:57:59,470 --> 00:58:00,470
Figure it out.

1049
00:58:00,810 --> 00:58:04,030
Just follow your heart. Listen, can we
hop in there really quick?

1050
00:58:04,410 --> 00:58:05,229
Yeah, for sure.

1051
00:58:05,230 --> 00:58:07,130
Great. I need to pick up some things for
the toy drive.

1052
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:08,650
Oh, that's tonight?

1053
00:58:08,750 --> 00:58:12,090
Yeah. Oh, I've got to get something,
too. Thank you for reminding me. What

1054
00:58:12,090 --> 00:58:13,090
you do without me?

1055
00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:17,630
I'd like to welcome everyone to our
annual toy drive.

1056
00:58:18,030 --> 00:58:22,550
If you've brought a contribution, please
take it to the donations table.

1057
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,640
And if you're here to get crap, your
station will be free.

1058
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,200
There you go.

1059
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,820
That'll keep you warm. Okay, great.

1060
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,400
Hey, check it out.

1061
00:58:37,020 --> 00:58:39,960
Tina. Hey. So good to see you out.

1062
00:58:40,340 --> 00:58:43,960
Well, Hannah gave me her number, and I
invited her to come along.

1063
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,240
You know, it turns out that Loris and
Gloria knew Lawrence when they were

1064
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,078
growing up.

1065
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,320
Oh, yeah. And he conducted the craziest.

1066
00:58:52,940 --> 00:58:56,080
experiments in science class. I would
have loved to have met him.

1067
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:57,660
Those look great.

1068
00:58:57,900 --> 00:59:00,060
Aren't they? He's a fastidious rapper.

1069
00:59:00,460 --> 00:59:04,040
And quite the storyteller, as you can
imagine.

1070
00:59:04,260 --> 00:59:07,640
We're going to do Poinsettia Lane in our
next book club.

1071
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,740
Hey, you two, why don't you join us?

1072
00:59:10,180 --> 00:59:15,020
Yes, sure. You rap in all ribbons? That
sounds like a plan.

1073
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:16,320
All right.

1074
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,080
Let's get you set up.

1075
00:59:21,759 --> 00:59:22,759
Okay. Hey,

1076
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:25,799
guys.

1077
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,680
Mind if I snap a pic of you two for the
Angel Falls Gazette? Sure. Okay.

1078
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,020
Have fun.

1079
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,800
That could be the cover of my next book.

1080
00:59:42,020 --> 00:59:44,140
I mean, if there was a next book.

1081
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:57,380
You too, and Merry Christmas.

1082
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,900
Hannah, oh, something troubling you?

1083
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,880
Have you ever misread a situation only
to find out years later that you were

1084
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:07,819
completely wrong?

1085
01:00:07,820 --> 01:00:09,660
As a matter of fact, yes, on more than
one occasion.

1086
01:00:10,980 --> 01:00:13,920
In this case, is the truth better or
worse than you first thought?

1087
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,020
Better, but also really surprising.

1088
01:00:18,100 --> 01:00:22,220
Well, if you're asking for my advice, I
think I'll need a few more details.

1089
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:23,560
It's about Ryan.

1090
01:00:33,460 --> 01:00:35,100
You know we go way back, right?

1091
01:00:35,460 --> 01:00:36,780
Yeah, I gathered that, yes.

1092
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,800
Well, all this time I've been blaming
him for something that he has nothing to

1093
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,840
do with, and the insecurities have been
in my head. I just never realized how

1094
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:45,840
much it was affecting me.

1095
01:00:46,300 --> 01:00:50,020
Insecurities have a way of making us
afraid of taking risks, but sometimes

1096
01:00:50,020 --> 01:00:51,980
right risk is worth it for the right
reward.

1097
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,600
Though afraid of failure that I've been
holding myself back.

1098
01:00:56,820 --> 01:00:58,380
Yeah, but see, you have the awareness
now.

1099
01:00:58,620 --> 01:01:02,660
So, you can stop blaming Ryan and face
your self -doubts head -on instead.

1100
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:11,480
Hey.

1101
01:01:12,060 --> 01:01:14,580
Hey. Tina said you'd be dropping by.

1102
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,740
Yeah, uh, you know, Tina's giving me a
baking lesson.

1103
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:21,500
Well, just so you know, I'm available to
sample anything you may need.

1104
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:26,380
Noted. Hey, you didn't respond to my
text, by the way. I invited you over to

1105
01:01:26,380 --> 01:01:29,940
place tonight. I'm having my parents
over for a pre -Christmas dinner.

1106
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:31,800
Yeah, I didn't want to impose.

1107
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:33,240
Don't be ridiculous.

1108
01:01:33,620 --> 01:01:36,020
Come on, you're basically an honorary
pressman.

1109
01:01:37,500 --> 01:01:41,860
Okay. Well, can I at least bring my
famous I -bought -it -at -the -grocery

1110
01:01:41,860 --> 01:01:42,859
-store Christmas ham?

1111
01:01:42,860 --> 01:01:44,280
You know, I was hoping you would.

1112
01:01:47,780 --> 01:01:50,460
Hey, stop distracting my new students.

1113
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,910
Okay. I'll leave you to it. I like
shortbread. Okay.

1114
01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:56,190
See you later.

1115
01:01:58,910 --> 01:01:59,910
Hey.

1116
01:02:00,150 --> 01:02:01,650
I made us some tea.

1117
01:02:01,930 --> 01:02:05,530
Oh. And I thought we would start with
gingerbread today.

1118
01:02:05,790 --> 01:02:09,990
Oh, perfect. That sounds good. Hopefully
I can impress Ryan with my gingerbread

1119
01:02:09,990 --> 01:02:10,990
making skills.

1120
01:02:12,070 --> 01:02:14,610
You want to tell me what's going on
between you two?

1121
01:02:15,470 --> 01:02:16,630
There's nothing to tell.

1122
01:02:17,110 --> 01:02:18,210
Oh, honey.

1123
01:02:19,310 --> 01:02:22,890
I may have quit the game, but I've been
a professional romantic for over two

1124
01:02:22,890 --> 01:02:27,230
decades. I know flirtation when I sense
it. Okay, well, I regret to inform you

1125
01:02:27,230 --> 01:02:28,670
that your senses are way off.

1126
01:02:29,730 --> 01:02:32,790
Okay. I should say I'm not convinced.

1127
01:02:33,270 --> 01:02:37,750
Look, it is true, okay? I was hoping
that I'd meet someone like the leading

1128
01:02:37,750 --> 01:02:43,210
in your books, but I'm just not sure
that the thoughtful, generous heroes you

1129
01:02:43,210 --> 01:02:44,630
describe exist in real life.

1130
01:02:46,330 --> 01:02:50,310
Well... My leading men might be
embellished and they might be put in

1131
01:02:50,310 --> 01:02:54,930
circumstances, but they were all rooted
in reality.

1132
01:02:56,450 --> 01:02:57,470
Based on Lawrence?

1133
01:03:00,730 --> 01:03:03,190
A lot of the time, yes.

1134
01:03:04,690 --> 01:03:09,950
Well, I'm just saying that I've never
found a man that measures up to your

1135
01:03:14,090 --> 01:03:16,610
There will never be another like him.

1136
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,580
He was my everything.

1137
01:03:21,140 --> 01:03:25,000
He was my beginning, my middle.

1138
01:03:33,540 --> 01:03:34,540
Wow.

1139
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,040
You know, I'll tell you, no one enjoys a
good story more than I do. But

1140
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:44,160
sometimes you do have to put down your
book so you can see what's right in

1141
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:45,160
of you.

1142
01:03:46,380 --> 01:03:49,100
Hey, what are you doing? tomorrow. My
family's hosting a party for the press.

1143
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,580
Isn't that an office event?

1144
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,180
Technically, yeah, but I mean, we invite
everyone and we would love for you to

1145
01:03:54,180 --> 01:03:55,180
be there.

1146
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:56,640
You're very kind.

1147
01:03:58,260 --> 01:03:59,920
What is that? Outcast. Okay.

1148
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:04,220
Yeah. I told you I'm not good at baking.

1149
01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:06,920
This was wonderful, honey.

1150
01:04:07,180 --> 01:04:08,580
I could not eat another bite.

1151
01:04:09,660 --> 01:04:10,660
Listen,

1152
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:15,100
I know that I didn't want to talk about
business tonight, but there is something

1153
01:04:15,100 --> 01:04:16,100
I want to say.

1154
01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:22,530
I've been afraid of taking a leap at the
press, but after a lot of encouragement

1155
01:04:22,530 --> 01:04:24,830
and collaboration, I think I'm ready.

1156
01:04:25,630 --> 01:04:29,730
When Ryan first suggested that we expand
the fiction department, I didn't think

1157
01:04:29,730 --> 01:04:30,709
it was feasible.

1158
01:04:30,710 --> 01:04:31,710
Neither did we.

1159
01:04:32,050 --> 01:04:33,070
What do you think now?

1160
01:04:33,290 --> 01:04:36,890
Well, after seeing the research, I think
that the company is more than capable

1161
01:04:36,890 --> 01:04:38,130
of taking on the challenge.

1162
01:04:38,370 --> 01:04:39,370
More than capable.

1163
01:04:40,190 --> 01:04:41,190
So what's next?

1164
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,980
Okay, if we put our resources together,
I think that we could expand our fiction

1165
01:04:44,980 --> 01:04:47,000
department and sign new authors to our
roster.

1166
01:04:47,220 --> 01:04:49,720
So no more cookbooks or travel guides?

1167
01:04:50,500 --> 01:04:52,680
Well, it's a bigger risk, but with a
bigger reward.

1168
01:04:53,100 --> 01:04:57,100
And I think it's the right choice,
creatively and financially.

1169
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,480
So if you say you're sure, I say

1170
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:04,980
let's do it.

1171
01:05:06,380 --> 01:05:08,280
We can tell everybody at the party
tomorrow.

1172
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:09,680
Thanks, Mom.

1173
01:05:12,740 --> 01:05:14,340
Okay. Well, that was fun, don't you
think?

1174
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:16,440
Why do you sound so surprised?

1175
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:18,440
Your parents are great.

1176
01:05:19,340 --> 01:05:20,380
Lucky to have them.

1177
01:05:21,460 --> 01:05:26,020
Yeah, well, I'm sorry you haven't had
the support that I've had.

1178
01:05:27,100 --> 01:05:31,200
Oh, well, I know it's not the same, but
my aunt and uncle have always been there

1179
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:32,680
for me if I need somebody to talk to.

1180
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,740
Yeah, well, so am I.

1181
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,240
I mean, if you want to.

1182
01:05:43,540 --> 01:05:45,780
I just may take you up on that.

1183
01:05:49,460 --> 01:05:52,960
Well, I'll leave you to it.

1184
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:54,660
Oh, hang on.

1185
01:05:55,020 --> 01:05:59,480
Oh, no.

1186
01:06:00,780 --> 01:06:01,780
What?

1187
01:06:02,220 --> 01:06:03,540
I didn't get you anything.

1188
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:04,920
No, it's okay.

1189
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,560
You know, it's... Are you sure? Yeah,
it's... Look, it's...

1190
01:06:09,980 --> 01:06:12,140
Just a little something for you to
remember the town.

1191
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:20,120
I just want you to know that, you know,
you can always come home to Angel Falls

1192
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:21,120
if you want to.

1193
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,200
Do you like it?

1194
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:26,600
I love it.

1195
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,600
You know, it's early. Do you want to get
a hot chocolate?

1196
01:06:33,820 --> 01:06:34,820
Yeah.

1197
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:36,400
That sounds good.

1198
01:06:42,350 --> 01:06:45,110
You know, you really should get the full
Angel Falls experience.

1199
01:06:46,990 --> 01:06:47,990
You all right?

1200
01:06:49,150 --> 01:06:50,150
I'm okay.

1201
01:06:50,870 --> 01:06:51,870
Thank you.

1202
01:06:52,910 --> 01:06:58,750
Thank you.

1203
01:07:01,750 --> 01:07:06,070
You two lovebirds ready for a ride. Oh,
we're not all.

1204
01:07:15,830 --> 01:07:16,630
Sure. You

1205
01:07:16,630 --> 01:07:28,230
know

1206
01:07:28,230 --> 01:07:32,010
what? If I end up at this software
company, I'm really going to miss this

1207
01:07:32,770 --> 01:07:33,770
Eh?

1208
01:07:34,350 --> 01:07:35,710
Well, I realize that...

1209
01:07:37,390 --> 01:07:44,390
You're so passionate about your job
because You love it. Yeah, I want that

1210
01:07:44,390 --> 01:07:46,170
for myself Really?

1211
01:07:46,990 --> 01:07:52,850
Yeah Well, I think that's great. I mean
Everyone should do what they appreciate

1212
01:07:52,850 --> 01:07:59,370
most I see that now I think that you

1213
01:07:59,370 --> 01:08:05,190
have inspired me To be inspired

1214
01:08:07,290 --> 01:08:09,350
So, thank you for that.

1215
01:08:10,370 --> 01:08:14,370
Well, you know, you encouraged me to get
out of my comfort zone, so thanks goes

1216
01:08:14,370 --> 01:08:15,370
both ways.

1217
01:08:19,510 --> 01:08:21,029
Thanks for riding with us, folks.

1218
01:08:25,130 --> 01:08:26,270
Hey, you two.

1219
01:08:26,689 --> 01:08:29,270
Hey. Why do you all look so serious?

1220
01:08:29,550 --> 01:08:30,910
We're just a little sad about Tina.

1221
01:08:31,250 --> 01:08:33,910
Why? What happened? She left Angel
Falls.

1222
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,899
No, we have to talk to her. She's
already booked on a 9 p .m. bus to New

1223
01:08:39,140 --> 01:08:41,200
But what are we going to do?

1224
01:08:45,899 --> 01:08:47,680
I think she's making a mistake.

1225
01:08:49,939 --> 01:08:51,580
Anthony. Hello, my friend.

1226
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,680
Oh, you both look quite upset. Is
everything all right? Not really. We

1227
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,380
found out Tina's leaving town with only
three days till Christmas.

1228
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:01,939
She won't answer our phone calls.

1229
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:03,359
I mean...

1230
01:09:03,770 --> 01:09:07,130
I don't know. Maybe we were being too
pushy. Do you think we drove her away?

1231
01:09:07,670 --> 01:09:11,890
Sometimes an impulsive reaction can
really be a mask for something

1232
01:09:12,310 --> 01:09:13,310
Well, that's right.

1233
01:09:13,450 --> 01:09:20,290
I know she was putting up walls because
she was heartbroken, but... I don't

1234
01:09:20,290 --> 01:09:24,270
think Tina retired because she has
nothing left to write. It just hurt her

1235
01:09:24,270 --> 01:09:26,609
much. Do you think we still have time to
catch her?

1236
01:09:26,950 --> 01:09:27,950
It's worth a shot.

1237
01:09:28,109 --> 01:09:29,109
Okay.

1238
01:09:43,770 --> 01:09:48,490
No, we missed it. I just wish... Why?

1239
01:09:48,729 --> 01:09:52,370
I don't know. I just really wish we
could have been there for her. You know,

1240
01:09:52,370 --> 01:09:53,370
just a little more.

1241
01:09:54,710 --> 01:09:56,210
Are you two taking a trip?

1242
01:09:56,710 --> 01:09:57,730
You're not on the bus.

1243
01:09:58,210 --> 01:10:01,010
No, I decided to take the next one.

1244
01:10:01,250 --> 01:10:03,250
I was actually just coming to find you.

1245
01:10:03,650 --> 01:10:08,630
After all you've done for me, I couldn't
leave without saying proper goodbye.

1246
01:10:09,230 --> 01:10:10,490
Well, do you have to leave at all?

1247
01:10:11,980 --> 01:10:17,000
I'm sorry. Being here for Christmas
without Lawrence is just too painful.

1248
01:10:17,860 --> 01:10:24,360
Tina, don't you think Christmas is going
to be hard without Lawrence, no matter

1249
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:25,360
where you are?

1250
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,400
Running isn't the answer.

1251
01:10:28,780 --> 01:10:31,560
It's taken me over a decade to figure
that out for myself.

1252
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,540
We think that you should stay here and
be a part of this community.

1253
01:10:38,260 --> 01:10:40,980
I just, I don't know where I belong now.

1254
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:42,980
You belong in Angel Falls.

1255
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:49,100
Being in Lawrence's hometown has just
brought up so many memories for me.

1256
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:54,620
Now you can face those memories and
remember all the wonderful times that

1257
01:10:54,620 --> 01:10:55,438
had together.

1258
01:10:55,440 --> 01:11:00,080
And we know you miss Lawrence, but Tina,
you deserve to be surrounded by people

1259
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:01,080
who care about you.

1260
01:11:05,300 --> 01:11:07,640
Well, you've rendered this writer
speechless.

1261
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,660
No one should be alone for the holidays.

1262
01:11:12,370 --> 01:11:13,830
Lawrence would say the same thing.

1263
01:11:16,350 --> 01:11:19,410
Boy, when you two team up, you're
certainly persuasive.

1264
01:11:20,090 --> 01:11:21,550
Does that mean that you're going to
stay?

1265
01:11:22,850 --> 01:11:24,670
I should at least stay for a while.

1266
01:11:27,930 --> 01:11:31,810
Well, then, first order of business on
the calendar is our party tomorrow.

1267
01:11:32,570 --> 01:11:33,750
I wouldn't miss it.

1268
01:11:50,510 --> 01:11:52,250
We welcome you to the Printed Press
Christmas party.

1269
01:11:55,250 --> 01:11:59,830
We've had an exceptional year and our
community has grown closer than ever.

1270
01:12:00,170 --> 01:12:03,170
We've seen some new faces and some old
friends returning.

1271
01:12:03,930 --> 01:12:07,890
At the Printed Press, our team and our
supporters mean so much to us.

1272
01:12:08,130 --> 01:12:13,230
So on behalf of the Pressman family and
everyone at the Printed Press, here's to

1273
01:12:13,230 --> 01:12:15,750
a happy holiday and an exceptional new
year.

1274
01:12:26,730 --> 01:12:28,970
So that's the offer from the software
company?

1275
01:12:29,470 --> 01:12:33,950
Yes. It's very generous, and there's a
potential for growth.

1276
01:12:34,590 --> 01:12:36,790
They must really want you on their team.

1277
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:38,370
Not that I blame them.

1278
01:12:38,890 --> 01:12:39,889
Thank you.

1279
01:12:39,890 --> 01:12:42,910
And they want me to come in and sort
things out with HR immediately.

1280
01:12:43,350 --> 01:12:44,350
You believe that?

1281
01:12:44,790 --> 01:12:47,870
It's very difficult to walk away from an
opportunity like this.

1282
01:12:48,910 --> 01:12:50,290
Yes, it sure is.

1283
01:12:51,650 --> 01:12:55,130
So, I don't know, I gotta get out of
here soon and sort things out.

1284
01:12:57,960 --> 01:12:59,560
Are you okay? What's going on?

1285
01:12:59,780 --> 01:13:03,020
It doesn't matter. It's my call about
celebrating the press and the holidays.

1286
01:13:06,660 --> 01:13:08,800
You pulled off a terrific party, Hannah.

1287
01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:10,320
Oh, thank you, Gloria.

1288
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,140
My son wrote me this tweet card.

1289
01:13:13,440 --> 01:13:17,600
I think you should read it. Honestly, I
think we may have another budding writer

1290
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:18,840
for you to check in to.

1291
01:13:19,100 --> 01:13:20,100
Perfect.

1292
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,500
Sorry to interrupt. Can I steal Hannah
for a second?

1293
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:25,960
She's all yours.

1294
01:13:32,210 --> 01:13:33,370
Hey. What is it?

1295
01:13:34,550 --> 01:13:38,910
I know you're busy, but everybody's
going to get eggnog at the square later,

1296
01:13:38,910 --> 01:13:40,730
I was wondering if we could grab a
drink.

1297
01:13:42,290 --> 01:13:43,590
It's been kind of a long day.

1298
01:13:44,490 --> 01:13:47,290
It's kind of important. I would really
like to talk to you.

1299
01:13:47,990 --> 01:13:50,210
You know what? I think I already know
what you're going to say.

1300
01:13:50,990 --> 01:13:51,989
You do?

1301
01:13:51,990 --> 01:13:54,110
Yeah, you didn't think I'd find out what
you told my mother?

1302
01:13:55,350 --> 01:13:59,370
Oh, yeah, but I wanted to be the one to
tell you.

1303
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:02,980
Well, it's disappointing.

1304
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,540
I mean, I thought you really changed
your perspective.

1305
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,560
Uh, what? What are you talking about?

1306
01:14:10,860 --> 01:14:13,820
I mean, you told me that you wanted to
be inspired by what you did.

1307
01:14:14,860 --> 01:14:18,540
Were you just mocking me? No, I meant
every word I said. You've been an

1308
01:14:18,540 --> 01:14:19,540
inspiration to me.

1309
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,240
You just tell me that you've been
offered the job at the software company.

1310
01:14:22,480 --> 01:14:24,500
I mean, I thought we were really
starting to open up to each other.

1311
01:14:25,500 --> 01:14:30,600
I just, I wanted to have it all sorted
out before I told you about it.

1312
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:34,410
Oh. Well, it's all sorted out now. I'm
sure you can't wait to get back to New

1313
01:14:34,410 --> 01:14:35,410
York.

1314
01:14:36,010 --> 01:14:38,630
And you know what? It's completely fine.
You know why you couldn't turn it down?

1315
01:14:38,710 --> 01:14:40,270
I mean, you love being practical in
business.

1316
01:14:42,050 --> 01:14:43,230
I don't think that's fair.

1317
01:14:44,490 --> 01:14:45,510
Is everything all right?

1318
01:14:46,430 --> 01:14:47,430
Yeah.

1319
01:14:47,670 --> 01:14:48,670
Yeah.

1320
01:14:49,090 --> 01:14:50,090
It's fine.

1321
01:14:50,550 --> 01:14:52,090
I actually have to go.

1322
01:14:53,290 --> 01:14:54,290
I'll see you around, Hannah.

1323
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:06,520
Making another field call on me?

1324
01:15:06,980 --> 01:15:08,180
The clock is ticking.

1325
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:10,880
Think you'll have this all straightened
out in time?

1326
01:15:13,300 --> 01:15:14,880
Christmas is still two days away.

1327
01:15:15,540 --> 01:15:16,840
Sometimes you have to have vision.

1328
01:15:26,940 --> 01:15:29,240
Everyone's having a wonderful time,
don't you think?

1329
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:30,800
Totally.

1330
01:15:31,020 --> 01:15:33,080
Wow, you sound the opposite of festive.

1331
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,000
I just think Ryan made the wrong
decision about the new job.

1332
01:15:36,860 --> 01:15:38,320
You think he should have accepted it?

1333
01:15:40,460 --> 01:15:41,460
Wait, what?

1334
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,100
I thought he had. He was going on and on
to Mom about it. No, he wasn't.

1335
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,220
He asked my advice.

1336
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,720
Ultimately, he decided it wasn't for
him. But he said he couldn't wait to

1337
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,560
Angel Falls. I thought he was just
waiting to wrap up on the paperwork.

1338
01:15:55,940 --> 01:15:57,120
We finished all that days ago.

1339
01:15:58,520 --> 01:15:59,780
He chose to stay in town.

1340
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:01,320
With you.

1341
01:16:02,669 --> 01:16:06,570
No, I... I gotta go. I gotta find him.

1342
01:16:07,330 --> 01:16:08,770
He's already left town.

1343
01:16:29,650 --> 01:16:30,970
Hi. Hi.

1344
01:16:31,430 --> 01:16:33,610
Why aren't you at the party? I'm just on
my way there myself.

1345
01:16:34,450 --> 01:16:35,930
I have to go back to New York.

1346
01:16:37,590 --> 01:16:38,590
You're leaving now?

1347
01:16:39,490 --> 01:16:40,770
You don't want to be here for Christmas?

1348
01:16:42,050 --> 01:16:43,150
No, not anymore.

1349
01:16:43,670 --> 01:16:47,150
If you see Hannah, would you please give
that to her for me?

1350
01:16:49,070 --> 01:16:52,110
I will, but you could give it to her
yourself.

1351
01:16:53,450 --> 01:16:55,630
No, I don't think she wants anything
from me.

1352
01:16:56,770 --> 01:16:58,930
I should go.

1353
01:16:59,190 --> 01:17:00,290
Ryan! Yeah.

1354
01:17:01,740 --> 01:17:04,180
You the one that told me running wasn't
the answer.

1355
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,220
Are you really going to leave without
telling Hannah how you feel?

1356
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,420
Well, we should get cracking on a list
of writers for next year.

1357
01:17:33,620 --> 01:17:38,480
Actually, I may have a few names for
you, including mine.

1358
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,960
Tina Hayek. These are my parents, Leslie
and Lowell. It's so lovely meeting you,

1359
01:17:44,020 --> 01:17:45,020
Tina.

1360
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:46,340
Likewise. Pleasure.

1361
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:51,380
I've heard all about Hannah's vision for
the press, and, well, if you'll have

1362
01:17:51,380 --> 01:17:53,900
me, I'd like to be a part of it.

1363
01:17:54,620 --> 01:17:56,200
With senior unretiring?

1364
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:57,500
I am.

1365
01:17:58,700 --> 01:18:00,440
And I want to stay in Angel Falls.

1366
01:18:01,860 --> 01:18:06,140
I was thinking about writing a romance
based on my relationship with Lawrence.

1367
01:18:06,660 --> 01:18:07,980
I think that's a great idea.

1368
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:09,580
This is great news.

1369
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,960
Enjoy the party and we'll firm up the
details in a minute.

1370
01:18:13,480 --> 01:18:14,480
Right.

1371
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:16,640
Wow.

1372
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:21,400
And this is for you. Oh.

1373
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:29,600
a list of emerging writers?

1374
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:31,940
Ryan really believes in you.

1375
01:18:32,220 --> 01:18:34,080
He just dropped that off at the house.

1376
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:36,060
Wait, he hasn't left town yet?

1377
01:18:36,300 --> 01:18:39,280
No, I tried to convince him to stay, but
he wouldn't listen.

1378
01:19:10,060 --> 01:19:11,060
You should go here.

1379
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:12,800
Yeah.

1380
01:19:15,300 --> 01:19:21,660
I was about to go, but... There's
something I have to say before I do.

1381
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:22,980
Me first, please.

1382
01:19:24,620 --> 01:19:26,020
I know you didn't take the job.

1383
01:19:26,780 --> 01:19:28,760
I misunderstood everything.

1384
01:19:30,020 --> 01:19:31,700
Sorry I didn't tell you about the offer.

1385
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,180
I didn't know if you'd react the way I
hoped.

1386
01:19:36,940 --> 01:19:38,280
What were you hoping I'd say?

1387
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,800
That I should turn it down.

1388
01:19:45,900 --> 01:19:52,360
And that I belonged here in Angel Falls.

1389
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,780
Well, you do belong here in Angel Falls.

1390
01:19:55,060 --> 01:20:01,600
And, Ryan, I'm so sorry for what I said.
I was hurt because I thought you were

1391
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:02,860
going to leave without saying anything.

1392
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:05,700
I wouldn't do that.

1393
01:20:07,540 --> 01:20:08,540
I know.

1394
01:20:09,850 --> 01:20:10,850
Because you're right.

1395
01:20:11,510 --> 01:20:13,030
I do jump to conclusions.

1396
01:20:14,430 --> 01:20:19,170
Even after I laid into you so unfairly,
don't give that with Tina for me.

1397
01:20:20,350 --> 01:20:24,190
It's because I want to support you.

1398
01:20:26,130 --> 01:20:27,230
And I always have.

1399
01:20:30,110 --> 01:20:33,510
Well, what did you want to say to me?

1400
01:20:38,570 --> 01:20:40,590
That you are an extraordinary person.

1401
01:20:43,550 --> 01:20:48,750
And that all the inspiration I've been
looking for is right here with you.

1402
01:20:50,230 --> 01:20:51,290
You're coming back.

1403
01:20:53,870 --> 01:20:55,310
As fast as I can.

1404
01:20:58,330 --> 01:21:04,730
Well, then I'm really happy that I got
to know the real you

1405
01:21:04,730 --> 01:21:05,730
because...

1406
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,180
The man that I've fallen for.

1407
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:23,880
Did you just say you've fallen for me?
Yeah, I did. And you know what? I think

1408
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:25,360
that I could say the same thing for you.

1409
01:21:49,990 --> 01:21:51,790
Anthony, you did it.

1410
01:21:52,350 --> 01:21:54,710
Oh, I just provide a little nudge here
and there.

1411
01:21:54,990 --> 01:21:58,410
No, you, sir, are a master in the
arbitration of champs.

1412
01:21:59,310 --> 01:22:02,590
I'm just happy that Tina found a
Christmas spirit on her way home.

1413
01:22:03,830 --> 01:22:08,570
So, Hannah and Ryan, a happy accident?

1414
01:22:09,430 --> 01:22:10,430
Really.

1415
01:22:10,670 --> 01:22:14,830
Let's just say that while orchestrating
Tina's path, I realized I needed to

1416
01:22:14,830 --> 01:22:20,350
enlist some... Extra help and in return,
love.

1417
01:22:22,070 --> 01:22:24,630
Simple and pure, yet so complicated.

1418
01:22:25,730 --> 01:22:26,870
Anything can happen.

1419
01:22:30,390 --> 01:22:34,530
You know, Rafi, I am really going to
miss this place.

1420
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:57,360
Merry Christmas, Ryan.

1421
01:22:58,480 --> 01:22:59,740
Merry Christmas, Hannah.

1422
01:23:30,050 --> 01:23:32,550
There's a huge hole in the past two
years of my life.

1423
01:23:34,310 --> 01:23:35,470
It's like old times.

1424
01:23:36,490 --> 01:23:42,630
Christmas on My Mind premieres Saturday
night at 9, only on Hallmark Movies and

1425
01:23:42,630 --> 01:23:43,630
Mysteries.
