All language subtitles for Party of Five s03e13 Christmas

Okay. See these three guys?

They're the wise men.

They were kings who came
and brought presents.

Well, only not like GoBots.

They brought gold and
frankincense and myrrh.

What's myrrh?

It's like, um...
wine or something.

It's a spice. What's Baby
Jesus gonna do with wine?

Oh, yeah, but he's got
lots of uses for a spice.

I think I like the
other creche better.

You know, the one where
Joseph looks like Elvis?

Hey, what's this doing in
with the Christmas stuff?

-Isn't that Kirsten's?
-Yeah.

And these are her books and
her Harry Belafonte CDs.

All this stuff is Kirsten's.

Hey, put that away. The UPS guy's gonna
be here in, like, seven seconds.

Why are you sending
her stuff away?

Because it's hers, and it should be
in Chicago where she is and not here

where she's not.

[tape tears]

Don't you think maybe you should
take your time with this, Charlie?

I mean, what's the rush?

The rush is the UPS guy's gonna
be pissed off if he has to wait.

Or even worse, he'll just leave
without getting all this.

You know, maybe what you should do instead of
shoving her stuff out the door is let yourself,

I don't know,

feel this.

[Julia] I mean, this is...
This is...

Sad.

Yes, it is sad. But
you know what?

It's also smart,

'Cause I'm never gonna start
over if I start every day

taking my toothbrush from
her toothbrush holder,

and end every night
setting her alarm clock.

[doorbell rings]

Tell him to wait two minutes.

I really think that maybe you're
doing this too fast, Charlie.

Well, I'll tell you what.

You throw away the
most important thing

that you've ever had in your
life and then we'll talk.

[Claudia] You're gonna
have to wait two minutes.

Grandpa?

[Jake] How's my little girl?
[Claudia] Great.

Oh.

Merry Christmas, kids.

I got a lot of stuff here. So,
uh, show me the way to the tree.

[theme song playing]

? Everybody wants to live ?

? Like they wanna live ?

? And everybody wants to love ?

? Like they wanna love ?

? Everybody wants to be ?

? Closer to free ?

? Closer to free ?

[Jake] What do you
mean, no tree?

[Julia] We wanted to go get
one in Charlie's truck,

but that would necessitate
Charlie actually being there.

And as you just saw, he's pretty much Mr.
Disappearing Act these days.

Where did that guy run
off to so fast anyway?

[Claudia] The restaurant.

He pretty much spends all
of his time there now.

Why? He's not having
business problems, is he?

More like personal ones.

He had a pretty rough fall.

Kind of took the holiday
spirit out of him.

Oh.

Well, what about Bailey?

Ha. I can't even remember
the last time I saw Bailey.

[Julia] He's got
his own place now.

You know, college and all. And, frankly,
he's kind of in a bad way too, so...

So the guys are in a funk,

and you two are just gonna give
up on Christmas. That's it, huh?

Well, I mean, it's not like
we have much of a choice.

Even with the few
decorations up,

the house is still really
depressing with everyone gone.

Maybe we should just
bag the whole thing.

You know, let the rest of the
world celebrate Christmas,

and we'll just have Wednesday.

Oh, no, nothing doing. I brought a lot
of darn nice Christmas gifts here.

But first, they've gotta sit
under a Christmas tree.

So come on, let's get our coats
and get going. You too, kiddo.

Where are we going?

We're gonna march down to that lot
I saw at the base of the hill.

We're gonna pick out the
finest-looking Christmas tree

we can find, and then we're gonna drag
it back up the hill to the house.

Callie? You still here?

[machine beeps]

[Callie over machine] Okay.
I'm gone.

My checks for rent and phone are
on the mantel. Send them. Bye.

Yeah, lot of warmth there.

[Sarah] Bailey, are you there?

I'm leaving for the airport,
and I just thought...

I don't know that we
should talk before I go.

Okay, maybe I'll try back. Bye.

[machine beeps]

[Claudia] It's me. When are
you coming home? Call.

Bye.

[machine beeps]

[Sarah] Okay. Now we're leaving,

I just thought I should
wish you a Merry Christmas

and vice versa, but... Okay.
I'm, I'm coming.

Okay. I gotta go. Bye.

[machine beeps]

[Julia] Bailey, there's some
stuff going on over here,

and we could really use
you around, so call.

[machine beeps]

[Claudia] Bailey, it's Claudia.

[Julia in background]
I just called him.

[Claudia] Oh.

Well, call already.

Bye.

[phone rings]

[gasps]

[Julia] Now, how's that?

Mm. A little bit this way.

[doorbell rings]

I'll get it.

[Stuart] Merry Christmas.

Stuart, what is this?

I can't say. You gotta open it.
Carefully. It's fragile.

-You got this for me?
-Yeah.

I thought real hard
about what you'd like,

and, well, let's just say I
think I did pretty well.

[car honking]

Oh, I. I gotta go.

I'm helping my mom deliver
latkes to our friends.

Man, I wish I could stay to see
your expression when you open it.

[footsteps approach]

Wow. Someone's trying
to impress you.

Impress me?

Why?

You... You think he
bought me this because...

Because...

Stuart has got a crush.

-No.
-Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no.
He can't. No.

I don't want him to. I don't like him like
that. I barely like him not like that.

What, what am I gonna do?

Well, that's easy. You just make sure the
gift you give him tells him how you feel.

I'm not gonna buy him a present.
He'll think I like him back.

Not if it's a totally
impersonal, completely

pro forma gift that
doesn't mean anything.

Where do you learn this stuff?

["Deck The Halls" playing
over the stereo]

Who do you have to know to
get a drink around here?

Hey, Jake,

what can I get for you?

Oh, I'll have a beer.

I figured this might be my
last chance to talk to you.

You ran out of the house
so fast this morning.

Yeah. It's, uh... It's
crazy around here.

We're all involved in
this homeless shelter,

and I just decided to do a New Year's
party for the first time ever.

Well, it's nice to stay busy
when you got the blues.

Claudia told me about what
happened with your girlfriend.

I, I'm sorry about that.

Your sisters...

miss having you around
the house, Charlie.

They can handle it.

Don't you think you ought to head
back there just for a while?

Look, I, I know you're probably
trying to help here, but...

doing this whole
Christmas thing...

it's just making
me feel kind of...

stuck right now.

So I oughta butt out, huh?

Yes, please.

I gotta... I just... I gotta focus
on new stuff now, get new interests,

find new places
to put my energy.

Because if I do that, then
I'll be able to start over,

you know, and I won't spend
the rest of my life...

paying for one mistake.

I mean, you know how
this is, right?

You made a big mistake
and got past it.

Oh, did I get past it?

Yeah, in some ways, maybe I did.

Yeah.

But in other ways, no.

Well, I'm sorry
about that, but...

that's not gonna happen to me.

[panting, grunting]

[Russ] Bailey.

Oh, man.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Like you're working out at 7:00 at
night in the middle of vacation.

It's 7?

-No way.
-Yeah.

Why? How long you been here?

I don't know. Since 4.

You know, most freshmen are home
right now, eating decent meals,

getting a good night's
sleep for a change.

Yeah?

More power to 'em.

You do have a place to go, right?
Like your family's?

Yeah.

I do. I'm just not going.

[Russ] So, what are you
gonna do for vacation?

You're looking at it.

At least it's good
for me, right?

Actually, it's not.

Students who don't step away
from this place now and then

end up climbing clock towers
with high-powered rifles.

Come on, get out of there.

Why don't you come to my place tomorrow?
I'm gonna watch the game.

I don't think so.

Oh, that wasn't a request.

Kickoff is at 2:00.

I'll see you then, huh?

What about this one, O? The
Night Before Christmas.

Ah.

You want Grandpa to
read it to you, huh?

Oh, is that what he wants?

[chuckles]

Are you gonna read it?

Well, I-I'll tell you what.

I, I gotta be heading out.

But, wait. Where you going?

I'm going back to L.A.

Ugh. Come on, I mean,
just don't leave.

Yeah, you should stay.

It's just starting to
feel like Christmas.

Oh, it is, huh?

Well, I guess I could
stay a little.

[Julia] Of course you can. So...

take the book and read it
to Owen like he asked.

Oh, now, wait a minute. I
don't know about reading--

No, no, see, you can't say no.
House rules.

[Jake] House rules? Then,
uh, I guess I better.

Yes, ahem, here we are.

"'Twas the night
before Christmas,

and all through the house.

Not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse.

The, uh, children...

were tucked...

in their..."

What?

-Beds?
-Nestled.

"Nestled all tight
In their beds,

While visions of sugarplums,
danced in their heads."

[Jake] Uh, "Mama in her
kerchief, and I in my cap,"

"Mama in her kerchief...

and I in my cap,"

[mouthed speech]

Oh, no. "I rose from my bed,

to see what was the matter."

You're on the wrong page.

Oh, oh.

[Jake] So I am. Yeah.

So I am. Yeah.

[Bailey] See, these guys
know how to spend Christmas.

Play a little ball, toss back
a few beers, call it a day.

No caroling, no yule log.

I'm impressed, Bailey. It
usually takes people 35 years

to work up a good
holiday malaise.

I've always been
very precocious.

That's how I ended up at State.

Uh-huh.

Hey, that's coming along.

Yeah. Mandy has one at her
mom's in Connecticut.

We made before the divorce.

I figured if she had one here, it
would feel more like home, you know?

-Hold that, will you?
-Yeah.

I just hope she
hasn't outgrown it.

It's hard to know when you only
see her a few times a year.

How old is she?

-Eleven.
-Yeah?

I have a sister who's 13.
Claudia.

Does she still like doll houses?

Nah, no way.

Oh, but she only just outgrew them.
Really recently.

Hm.

It's crazy, you know.

You feel like there's so much
riding on a stupid present.

That should be dry.

What do you mean?

Well, you know,

what if she hates it?

What if she looks at it and
thinks I don't know her at all?

What if she's right?

[Claudia] He wasn't
even on the right page.

He probably just figured he knew the
poem by heart, and then he forgot.

Uh-uh.

I mean, did you see his face?

He looked... He looked scared.

Maybe he was just confused. You know,
that happens to old people sometimes,

but it's totally normal.

So you really... You really don't
think we should worry about it?

No. No, not at all.

But Stuart's gift on
the other hand...

Hey.

Perfect. Impersonal, yet fun,

distant, yet good-humored.

Cheap, yet cheap.

Hey, do you wanna send a
message or don't you?

I'm gonna have it gift-wrapped.
Paper and no bow.

Sorry about the overflow.

Things get kind of crazy
around Christmas.

It's okay, I just wish somebody from the
office would've called and told me.

I would've made sure
there was enough food.

There is no one at the office. They
cut our funding for a secretary.

Welcome to non-profit. Ho-ho.

[scoffs]

What a world, huh?

Yeah.

You try and do a good thing, you
try and be a decent citizen.

Hi. I'm, uh, Charlie.

Only businessman in town that
treats me like a respectable man.

You bet I'll shake your hand.

So, uh...

I take it you're
having a rough time.

Yeah. So are the Bosnians.

So are the Kurds.
Everybody's got it rough.

Who's Pete Terry to complain?

What right does Pete Terry
have to a better life?

Hey, you know what? Every right.

You don't know that.

For all you know, I
could be a felon.

For all you know, I coulda sold drugs
to make cash after I got laid off.

Is that true? Did you do that?

Ten years with a
pharmaceutical concern.

You think you're secure.
Then bam, "See you."

Four months severance.

Four months later, the
dealer's the only one hiring.

Bam, arrested.

Bam, convicted.

Two and a half years.

Well, now I'm out, but
who's gonna hire me?

I bet lots of people would.
I mean, you did your time.

It doesn't matter.

It's a one-strike game we're
playing here, Charlie.

I swung, I missed.

[sighs]

[Claudia] You sure do take
your time unwrapping things.

No, it's... it's done so beautifully.
I don't wanna ruin your work.

Oh, no, no, no. I didn't do it.

The, the guy at the store did.

Are you kidding? That
costs a fortune.

No. No, no, no, no. See, it was, uh...
It was free.

You got me this.

Um, yeah.

But...

How did you know
I collect these?

I got the epoxy for you.

They had two.

I tried calling, but
your phone was busy

for, like, forever, so
I just took a guess.

She's not coming.

What?

She's not coming.

A big snowstorm on the east
coast shut down the airports.

That's why I was on the phone.

Well, it has to be better by
tomorrow or the next day, right?

Oh, she was only gonna
be here for three days.

Her mom's taking her to the
Caribbean right after Christmas.

Oh.

Eh, so I'll see her in the spring.
It's only a few months.

You know what?

I'm still not doing anything.

Why don't... Why don't we
do something... tomorrow?

Like, I don't know, go see a
hockey game or something?

Ah, it's okay, Bailey. I know
you got stuff you wanna do.

Yeah. I wanna go to a game.

I think the Sharks are playing.
There's probably some seats left.

What do you say?

What time is face-off?

[Charlie] You like 'em?

Sure.

Whoo. They're thick.

Figured you were, uh, a
34, is that about right?

Well, it depends on how
they fit, waist or hips.

I have wider hips because I took
female hormones when I was a kid

as an experiment, a
medical experiment.

[Pete] It's a study in
hormonal inversion.

I also grabbed you
a couple shirts,

so that when you go
on an interview,

you'll look like somebody
who has his act together.

I don't have any interview.

Aha.

Yet.

Classifieds.

We're gonna sit here, figure out
which ones you should go up for.

Nobody's gonna give me a job.

Hey, listen, you walk in there dressed
right with a positive attitude

and they're gonna see someone
who wants to make a new start.

And they're gonna
wanna help you.

People do get second chances.

So...

Hey, Jake.

Oh, hi.

I, uh, got you a present.

Oh, no. No present
before the big day.

No. It's not a
Christmas present.

Oh.

It's not a Christmas
present, huh?

Here, just press the top.

[recorded voice] Twelve a.m.

I saw you having trouble finding
your watch this morning.

I wasn't having trouble.

That and the book.

You're having trouble
seeing, huh?

No. I'm okay.

Well, I'm an old man.

I've got old eyes.

I'm gonna take you to a doctor.

I have a doctor. He's
a very good doctor.

I'm okay.

This is...

what they call a
degenerative thing.

That's the term.

De...generative? You mean,
you're going blind?

Yes, I will be going blind.

Oh.

God, I'm, uh...

-I'm sorry.
-I'm okay now.

Hey, I can manage the stairs.

I travel, planes, buses.
There's no problem at all.

Now, listen.

I don't want you to tell the
other kids about this thing.

I don't want them treating
me like an invalid.

Okay.

And don't you be sad.

I've lived a long time.
And I've seen, uh,

so many beautiful
things in this life.

And I have them all filed away,

alphabetically.

And now I have a
new one under "C".

Christmas with my grandchildren.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
He's going blind?

Yes.

How do you even know this?
Have you seen him?

God, Bailey, have you even
listened to your messages lately?

He's here. He's staying with us.

[sighs]

I'm sorry. I just...

I've had some other
stuff going on.

But, okay.

Okay, I'll stop by,
and I'll say hi.

Oh, great. Another one
of your drive-bys.

Well, what do you want from me?

I want...

Look, I'm all alone
in this, okay?

I can't talk to Claudia. And Charlie
is at work all the time, so...

so I want you to come
home for Christmas.

I'm not doing
Christmas this year.

Get over yourself, Bailey. Our
grandfather is going blind.

How hard can it be to spend
a little time with him?

I'm not saying it's hard.
I'm just...

I'm busy, actually.

I happen to have someplace
else I have to be.

Okay, Bailey, look,

I know you really wanna
check out right now.

But Jake is family. So
whatever else you have to do,

I think you should cancel it
because this is more important.

[door opens]

-You're late.
-Late for what?

I'm just dropping by to see, if you have any
food you want me to take back to the shelter.

Heh. Yeah. Sure.

I'm sorry, Xander, I... I
thought you were Pete.

Pete Terry?

Yeah. I'm, uh,

helping him get a job.

Some people already called
to set up interviews.

Are you sure that's such a good idea?
I mean, considering his history.

Hey, the guy only
made one mistake.

People can change.

They can realize where
they went wrong

and turn their lives around.

Yeah. Sure, Charlie. No argument.
It's just that, uh,

it's different when you're
talking about a schizophrenic.

A what?

Pete's a schizophrenic.

The state gives him medication,
which he usually sells.

But when he's off it,
reality's kinda nebulous.

Pete. Um,

where... where are
the clothes we got?

I can't wear 'em now. They make me too
conspicuous. They're in a safe place.

In a little while, I'll get 'em.
I'll come to work.

But not now. They make
me too conspicuous.

Stuart.

It's a thank-you note.

-You couldn't mail it?
-What? This time of year?

We'd be lucky if you
got it by New Year's.

-Wanna know what it says?
-I--

"Dear Claudia, thank you
for the thoughtful gift.

I am moved by the care you
took in selecting it.

Looking forward to our
future with anticipation.

I remain yours truly,

Stuart."

Look, Stuart, you're a nice guy,

but there isn't going to
be any future for us.

I... I don't like you like that.

But that gift...

Was supposed to be impersonal.

I mean, how was I supposed to know
that that would mean something?

I mean, what kind of a person
collects those things?

My kind.

Oh, I... I'm sorry.

That came out wrong.
I didn't mean--

And here I thought you
were this nice person.

-I am nice.
-No, you're not.

A nice person doesn't
lead people on

and then squash their
hearts like a bug.

I never led you on.

Oh, right.

Like I just imagined
the whole thing.

[door slams]

[Russ] Hey, come on in. I'm just
nuking up a Hungry-Man dinner here.

Thanks.

I-I got another one I could heat up
for you. It only takes seven minutes.

We'll still have plenty of time
to make it to the stadium.

Yeah, um, about that.

I can't go.

I'm actually heading home.

Home? You mean, family home?

Yeah.

It turns out there's some stuff
going on there that I should...

Anyway.

I said I'd go.

Oh, sure. I understand.
That's, uh--

But I feel really
bad about this.

You know, I mean,

we said we were gonna do this.

Oh, no, no. No sweat.

It's Christmas Eve. You
should be with your family.

[microwave beeping]

Um, that's my dinner. I gotta...

[chuckles]

[microwave door opens]

Listen, you tell your family I wish
them a very Merry Christmas, huh?

[Jake] He's gonna come
sliding right down there

with a big bag of presents
to leave in the house.

No.

What do you mean "no"?

O-oh, yes, he will.

You wait and see and tomorrow,

all these stockings will be
full of presents left by him.

[Bailey] Okay.

We got moo shu. We got kung pao.

We got pot-stickers.

Traditional Christmas
Eve dinner.

[all laughing]

Around here it is.

Uh, Julia, you didn't
need to do that.

Yes, I did. 'Cause a stocking's
what you hang at Christmas

to say, "This is where I
belong." And you belong here.

Oh, no, kids. I
don't belong here.

I just came by to
leave a few presents

and spend a little time
with you, but, uh...

But, uh, this is, uh...

this is... this is
your home, not mine.

Well, I guess what we're saying

is we like having you
around this time of year.

And that it would be nice if you
were here next Christmas too.

-Right, Bay?
-Yeah.

That would be...
That would be good.

[Claudia] And the one after that.
And the one after that.

We'll do it just like
this, every single year.

No matter what.

Charlie?

When did you get back
from the restaurant?

Um,

half an hour ago, maybe.

So, um, what was
going on down there?

Lots of busy holiday stuff?

I don't know.

What do you mean?

You were... you were there.

Yeah. I just don't
know what's going on.

We're doing the tree downstairs.

Bay was gonna do the lights, but I told him
not to 'cause I know you love to do them.

-It's okay. He can.
-No.

It's your job.

And if someone else does
it, it'd be like saying

you're not here.

And you are.

Right?

Yeah, Claud, I'm here.

So come downstairs.

Come downstairs and
do the lights.

[instrumental music playing]

[Jake] The address
is 33-24 Broadway.

Listen, tell your driver
not to honk, please.

I'll be waiting for him.

Thanks.

Man.

[chuckles]

Thought I had bad staying
power, but you...

I'm not running away
from anything, Charlie.

Right.

Okay. That's what I'll tell
Claudia in the morning.

See you, Jake. It's been real.

Charlie, wait a minute.

I've got an appointment

that I must keep.

I never intended staying.

I've stayed

two days too long already, and...
and now I've simply gotta leave.

What kind of appointment could you
possibly have on Christmas morning?

It's an appointment
for chemotherapy.

What?

Treatment for cancer.

Jake, God, um...

I'm sorry. God,
what I just said--

Don't let it worry you.

You were only trying to stick up for
the kids. You were doing just fine.

Let us help. We're...
we're family.

I don't wanna play that card.

If I'd been around

all the time and had really
been a member of the family,

it'd be a different story but...

That's not the way
it works, Jake.

Claudia was just... so
excited to have you here.

Oh, I think she can handle it.

I know she can handle it better
than losing me little by little.

Don't you think so?

Well, that's the answer.

Now, don't feel bad about this.

But listen, maybe you think
that I don't love those kids.

I'm gonna tell you, I do.
I love them.

And I love you.

I love you all.

[sentimental music playing]

Julia, is this from you?

[Julia] Hm? What?

Santa Claus?

Oh.

"This belonged to my mother,
your great-grandmother.

She was a great music lover
and would be happy to know

it was being worn by her
great-granddaughter, the violinist.

Merry Christmas.

Love, Grandpa."

[sighs] Why is there no
coffee in the machine?

We ran out. Bailey went
to get some, like,

six hours ago. Where's
he buying it, Columbia?

-What'd you get?
-Another candy cane.

Another candy cane?

[laughs]

I'm gonna go wake him up.

Wait. I just said he
went to get coffee.

Not Bailey. Grandpa.

I mean, I'm sure he doesn't wanna
sleep throughout the whole day.

No, Claud, wait. Hang on, um,

he's not there.

What? Well, where is he?

He's, uh... He had to
go, early this morning.

-Wait, he left?
-Candy cane.

Yeah. He didn't want to, though.
Um, he...

Last night he... I guess he started
thinking about his daughter.

And he thought that maybe since
he was here on Christmas Eve,

he should be there
on Christmas Day.

But, why didn't he say anything?

Like I said, it... it didn't occur
to him until late last night. So...

So he just

walked away?

After everything we did for him.

I'm sure he didn't
want to, Claud...

[door opens]

See, my sisters always bitch about
me watching the game on Christmas.

But with you here, that's
like part of your job, right?

-I mean, you have to watch.
-Leave me out of it, huh?

Charlie, Julia, Owen, this is
Russ Petrocelli, my coach.

[Russ] Hi.

He's gonna be hanging
out with us today.

-Hey -If it's all
right with you.

Well, can you cook?

I can peel and chop things.

Good enough. Follow me.

Only until kickoff.

What do you want now, Stuart?

Um, well, I'm here to apologize.

Look, you... you didn't lead me on.
And you're not a mean person.

I only said those things
because I was ashamed.

And now even more ashamed
because I said those things,

and I'm... I'm really sorry, and I feel
really stupid, and I just think that we--

Enough, Stuart.

Apology accepted.

Really?

[sighs] Phew.

Well, okay.

So we can be friends again?

Yeah. Why not?

Great.

[exhales]

You know, I... I couldn't help noticing
all the cooking going on in the kitchen.

Yeah, you know. Christmas
dinner is kind of a big thing.

Turkey, hot cross buns.
Stuff like that.

Really? How interesting,

uh, you... you know, culturally.

Hey, Stuart.

I have an idea.

Why don't you stay?

[chuckles lightly]

[fridge door opens,
bottles clinking]

-Is it halftime?
-No.

Called time out to cart some guy
with a concussion off the field.

I like your coach.

Even if he lied about
being able to chop.

That was a nice thing you
did asking him here.

I only did it 'cause I had to.

That's not true. You did it
'cause you're a good guy.

Okay. Look, let's be
honest here, Jule, okay?

'Cause that's true, and
you know it's not true.

And in case you forgot
why it's not true,

why don't you give Sarah a call?
I'm sure she'll remind you.

[clanging]

Where the hell is
the bottle opener?

You know what, Bay?

I really think that if
you're gonna punish yourself

this hard for the
bad stuff you do,

you should at least give yourself
some credit for the good things.

I mean, yeah, you
messed up with Sarah,

but like it or not, you're
still the kind of guy

who's not gonna let someone
spend Christmas alone,

and that's...

That's what?

I don't know. But it's
gotta be something.

Oh, I didn't know
you were out here.

-I'll just--
-It's okay. Hey.

What are you doing?

Just looking for someplace
where no one else is, I guess.

How come?

I don't know.

It doesn't really feel
like Christmas in there.

No one wants to be here,

except Stuart.

It's not that I don't
wanna be here, Claud.

Right.

You're probably just sitting there
thinking what your life would be like

if you didn't have to
take care of me and Owen.

You don't really
think that, do you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

[sighs]

I like taking care
of you, Claudia.

I like dropping you
off at school.

I like hearing about what
guy you have a crush on.

I like taking you
to the dentist.

I like it all. I wouldn't trade
that for anything in the world.

Yeah. But it doesn't
make you happy.

It's just

not quite enough.

You know?

I mean, I love you.

But I guess I want a little
more out of life too.

And that's hard

because I was so close
to having that.

Marrying Kirsten would
have been much more.

Much more.

And it's not like I
wanna replace her,

'cause I know that I'm
never gonna have her

or anything like her again.

I just wouldn't mind something.

It doesn't even have to
be a big thing, you know?

Just something small.

For me.

Looks nice, Julia.

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

[screams] Dinner's ready!

[sighs]

Oh, um, we're short a chair,

so someone has to
take the piano stool.

Oh, I will.

[Claudia] This
looks great, Jule.

Yeah, if we can sidestep last
year's salmonella incident.

-Salmonella?
-You had the flu.

It was the flu.

Right.

Well, should we, I don't know,
say a blessing or something?

We could.

[clears throat]

[Owen hums "The
Little Drummer Boy"]

Amen.

-Amen.
-Amen.

Amen.

[laughs]

[Russ] That was very good.

-[indistinct chattering]
-[doorbell rings]

[Bailey] Want some of this, O?

[chattering continues]

-Grace.
-Charlie.

I thought you were in Chicago.

I was. But, uh, now I'm home.

Alone?

Yeah. Well, no. I mean,
my family's here,

but, um... But I'm alone, yeah.

Oh.

Well, I'm sorry.

Well, I don't, uh... I don't wanna keep
you. I just wanted to bring this by.

[laughs] It's cranberry bread.

-Merry Christmas.
-Oh, wow.

-Grace, thanks.
-Oh, it's nothing.

It's just something small.

Listen, um, can you come in?

We're just sitting
down to dinner.

Oh, that's nice. But I've...
I've already eaten.

That's okay. I won't
tell anybody.

[chuckles]

[playing "Silent Night"]

What do you say we
give it a spin, huh?

Here you go. Woo, you wouldn't know
where those wrenches are, would you?

Mrs. Reeves, hi. It's Bailey.

Thanks. You too.

Is Sarah there?

Hi.

I just wanted to wish
you a Merry Christmas.

Thanks.

I'm sorry I didn't call sooner.

Um, things have been kinda
hectic around here.

Yeah.

Yeah. Not bad.

How about you?

How's everything in Florida?

You look so cute.

Uh, actually, that's my
Dad when he was little.

Wow, you really take
after him, don't you?

Maybe. I don't know.

[Owen imitating a motor]

Who's that playing?

Stuart.

Really? For a first-timer, he's
really embracing the holiday.

Hey, as long as he's not embracing
me, I'm not complaining.
