something like that. I mean--

112
00:05:57,291 --> 00:05:59,208

alumni and the parents

113
00:05:59,291 --> 00:06:02,875

the program alive.

in the winter, so--

355
00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:49,125
Right, of course.
I should have known.

356
00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:50,792
Everything revolves
around sports.

357
00:16:50,875 --> 00:16:51,834
Yep.

358
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:55,000
Why let a silly thing like
the seasons switch you up?

359
00:16:55,083 --> 00:16:56,875
No, you kids
cannot be out here.

360
00:16:56,959 --> 00:16:58,291
Hi, hi--

361
00:16:58,375 --> 00:17:00,125
It's Ken and, um--

362
00:17:00,208 --> 00:17:01,041
Diana.

363
00:17:01,375 --> 00:17:03,792
(laughing) I thought
you were a couple.

364
00:17:03,875 --> 00:17:08,041
I guess I better get that
laser eye surgery, huh?

365
00:17:08,125 --> 00:17:10,875
Well, glad to see you
two finally getting along.

366
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:11,750
See ya inside.

367
00:17:11,834 --> 00:17:12,333
Okay...

368
00:17:12,417 --> 00:17:13,417
Okay.

369
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:22,000
Hmmm...they must consider
this a pretty important post.

370
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:24,333
Getting two people to
patrol it like this, huh?

371
00:17:24,417 --> 00:17:25,041
Are you kidding?

372
00:17:25,417 --> 00:17:26,834
Parking lot of a
high school dance?

373
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:28,959
Number one action spot.
Don't you remember?

374
00:17:29,041 --> 00:17:29,917
(laughing)

375
00:17:30,333 --> 00:17:32,667
No, I was, uh, more
likely to be in the band

376
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:35,125
than on the dance floor,
to tell you the truth.

377
00:17:35,208 --> 00:17:37,667
And our family vehicle
was actually a hearse.

378
00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:38,750
You're kidding.

379
00:17:38,834 --> 00:17:41,792
No, no, my stepdad
was an undertaker.

380
00:17:41,875 --> 00:17:43,166
(laughing)

381
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:45,417
He didn't see reason
to buy a new vehicle

382
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,667
we had a perfectly good 1972
"death master" in the garage.

383
00:17:50,041 --> 00:17:52,667
Well, we had an AMC
Pacer that was not only

384
00:17:52,750 --> 00:17:55,500
the ugliest car ever built,
but it was completely glass

385
00:17:55,583 --> 00:17:57,125
so you could
see through it.

386
00:17:57,208 --> 00:18:00,583
My dad knew exactly what he was
doing when he bought that car.

387
00:18:00,667 --> 00:18:02,709
(laughing)
I bet.

388
00:18:02,792 --> 00:18:03,792
Look at this--

389
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:06,208
(laughing)

390
00:18:07,417 --> 00:18:09,959
(tap-tap-tap)
Hey--

391
00:18:10,041 --> 00:18:12,208
Come on, guys.
You know better than this.

392
00:18:12,291 --> 00:18:13,125
Inside.

393
00:18:13,208 --> 00:18:14,583
You can't hangout
out here.

394
00:18:15,667 --> 00:18:16,667
Inside.

395
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:23,083
So, you were
in a band, huh?

396
00:18:23,166 --> 00:18:26,959
Uh...yeah, yeah,
yeah. I was...um--

397
00:18:27,041 --> 00:18:29,375
Any good?

398
00:18:29,458 --> 00:18:31,542
We thought we were,
but we really weren't.

399
00:18:31,625 --> 00:18:33,583
Oh, you were probably
better than you think.

400
00:18:33,667 --> 00:18:34,667
We weren't.

401
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:36,083
(laughing)

402
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:38,166
What'd your parents
think about that?

403
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:41,959
Oh, God, my mom
hated...HATED the idea

404
00:18:42,041 --> 00:18:43,792
that I wanted to
become a musician.

405
00:18:43,875 --> 00:18:45,875
Totally fought me
every step of the way.

406
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:47,875
So, she was overjoyed
when I actually got

407
00:18:47,959 --> 00:18:49,000
my education degree.

408
00:18:50,250 --> 00:18:52,583
What about you?
Are you a performer?

409
00:18:52,667 --> 00:18:55,625
Um...obligatory
piano, recitals,

410
00:18:55,709 --> 00:18:58,041
that sort of thing, but
no real performing, no.

411
00:18:58,125 --> 00:18:59,000
Yeah?

412
00:18:59,375 --> 00:19:01,125
You sure that's not you
tickling the ivories

413
00:19:01,208 --> 00:19:04,125
to Billy Joel's lesser
known Turn-styles album?

414
00:19:04,208 --> 00:19:07,375
No, I sort of tend more
to a Chopin Polonaise.

415
00:19:07,458 --> 00:19:09,583
Right, right--
Well, you're very good.

416
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:11,333
I've heard you play
for your class.

417
00:19:11,417 --> 00:19:12,750
Thank you.

418
00:19:12,834 --> 00:19:14,542
Good enough for
a high school class,

419
00:19:14,625 --> 00:19:16,291
but not quite good
enough to perform.

420
00:19:16,375 --> 00:19:17,583
No, don't sell
yourself short.

421
00:19:17,667 --> 00:19:19,125
I've heard professional
keyboardists who aren't

422
00:19:19,208 --> 00:19:20,542
half as good
as you are.

423
00:19:20,625 --> 00:19:23,417
Oh, yeah, but that's pop.
That's not as demanding.

424
00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:25,417
What? Popular music
isn't demanding?

425
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:26,959
Um...

426
00:19:27,041 --> 00:19:29,792
No. Not really. Not if you
want me to be honest.

427
00:19:29,875 --> 00:19:31,125
So, anyone
can do it?

428
00:19:31,208 --> 00:19:33,542
Well, no-- I mean, it's
usually three or four chords

429
00:19:33,625 --> 00:19:36,333
played over and over again,
in not much of a melody.

430
00:19:36,417 --> 00:19:38,333
Yeah, but you have
to feel it though.

431
00:19:38,417 --> 00:19:40,291
That's the difference. You
can't hide behind technique.

432
00:19:40,375 --> 00:19:41,792
You don't just rely
on technique,

433
00:19:41,875 --> 00:19:43,583
you do require
skill to learn it.

434
00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:44,667
And discipline.

435
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:46,125
Yeah, it's gotta
come from the heart.

436
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:48,375
There's no reason the brain
can't get involved, though.

437
00:19:48,458 --> 00:19:49,834
Oh, so pop
music is mindless?

438
00:19:49,917 --> 00:19:52,625
I didn't say that. Why you
putting words in my mouth?

439
00:19:52,709 --> 00:19:54,917
I'm not putting words in
your mouth, just repeating

440
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,625
what I'm hearing
here. That's it.

441
00:19:57,709 --> 00:19:59,875
Let's just stop arguing
about this. It's silly--

442
00:19:59,959 --> 00:20:01,125
Who's arguing?

443
00:20:01,542 --> 00:20:04,125
We're not arguing, we're just
talking about what we think.

444
00:20:04,208 --> 00:20:06,458
Well, you want to
know what I think?

445
00:20:06,542 --> 00:20:09,208
I think I'm going to
beat you in this contest.

446
00:20:11,208 --> 00:20:13,709
Okay, maybe if all the
judges are over 80

447
00:20:13,792 --> 00:20:15,208
you might have
a chance.

448
00:20:15,291 --> 00:20:16,917
O...kay.

449
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:17,625
Wow.

450
00:20:17,709 --> 00:20:18,542
Well, we'll see.

451
00:20:18,625 --> 00:20:19,417
Yeah--

452
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:21,417
Yes...we will.

453
00:20:24,834 --> 00:20:30,041
♪

454
00:20:30,125 --> 00:20:31,875
You made the right choice.
I promise.

455
00:20:31,959 --> 00:20:34,083
Christmas carols
can be a lot of fun.

456
00:20:34,166 --> 00:20:36,250
We don't really celebrate
Christmas at my house.

457
00:20:36,333 --> 00:20:38,041
Don't celebrate
Christmas?

458
00:20:38,125 --> 00:20:39,333
Who doesn't
celebrate Christmas?

459
00:20:39,709 --> 00:20:42,917
My mom thinks that consumerism
has corrupted the message.

460
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,667
Well, you don't have
to celebrate Christmas

461
00:20:44,750 --> 00:20:47,625
to enjoy the music.
Take it from me.

462
00:20:47,709 --> 00:20:49,625
Liz, Amy--
Amy, Liz.

463
00:20:49,709 --> 00:20:50,208
Hey!

464
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:51,291
Hey--

465
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:54,083
So, can I just tell you?
I'm like crazy excited.

466
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,125
I've never been on
television before.

467
00:20:56,208 --> 00:20:57,917
Well, except
on youtube.

468
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,041
You're on youtube?

469
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:01,417
Someone posted a clip
of me at a party.

470
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:03,417
I didn't find out
until a week later.

471
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,458
By that time, it
already had 300 likes.

472
00:21:05,542 --> 00:21:07,166
Okay--
You know, let's, uh--

473
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:08,667
Let's get started.

474
00:21:08,750 --> 00:21:11,917
I want you to take this home,
work on it on your own

475
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,458
before we start
putting it together.

476
00:21:13,542 --> 00:21:14,792
What song
did you pick?

477
00:21:15,792 --> 00:21:17,250
Here you go.

478
00:21:18,625 --> 00:21:20,583
Angels we have
heard on high?

479
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:22,375
In two-part
harmony.

480
00:21:25,667 --> 00:21:26,625
What's the matter?

481
00:21:26,709 --> 00:21:28,917
My mother sings this.
In church.

482
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,125
It's totally lame.

483
00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:32,917
Then it will be up to us
to make it exciting.

484
00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:35,208
We'll sound like old
bags singing this.

485
00:21:35,291 --> 00:21:38,208
It's all in the
arrangement, I promise.

486
00:21:38,291 --> 00:21:39,709
Let's at
least try it.

487
00:21:40,750 --> 00:21:44,500
I mean...yeah it's
really old-fashioned,

488
00:21:44,583 --> 00:21:47,667
but it's got a basic melody that
we could really embellish.

489
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:48,875
Embellish?

490
00:21:48,959 --> 00:21:50,959
It means, you
know, decorate.

491
00:21:51,041 --> 00:21:52,333
I know what
it means.

492
00:21:52,417 --> 00:21:53,750
I've just--
I've never heard

493
00:21:53,834 --> 00:21:55,667
anyone use it in
conversation before.

494
00:21:57,458 --> 00:21:59,458
Just try it.

495
00:21:59,542 --> 00:22:01,792
If the arrangement's too
complicated, I could help you.

496
00:22:01,875 --> 00:22:04,667
I think I can figure it
out for myself, thanks.

497
00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:05,959
See ya.

498
00:22:06,041 --> 00:22:07,166
Bye, Liz...

499
00:22:08,333 --> 00:22:09,333
Don't worry
about her.

500
00:22:09,834 --> 00:22:11,834
She'll be fine when she starts
working on the material.

501
00:22:11,917 --> 00:22:14,834
You just learn
your part.

502
00:22:14,917 --> 00:22:16,667
You can be the
good example.

503
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:17,917
Right,
Ms. Deason.

504
00:22:21,417 --> 00:22:22,542
Diana!

505
00:22:25,458 --> 00:22:27,417
I'm glad I got you
before you left.

506
00:22:28,583 --> 00:22:30,542
Do you have plans
for next Saturday night?

507
00:22:30,625 --> 00:22:32,792
Um...not that
I'm aware of, no.

508
00:22:33,583 --> 00:22:35,542
Well, then I apologize
for the late invitation,

509
00:22:35,625 --> 00:22:39,083
but I am hoping you can join me
for Christmas dinner practice.

510
00:22:40,250 --> 00:22:41,333
Christmas dinner
practice?

511
00:22:41,417 --> 00:22:42,333
Yeah.

512
00:22:42,667 --> 00:22:44,625
It's part of my stress
reduction program.

513
00:22:44,709 --> 00:22:47,166
I have always been concerned
about Christmas dinner

514
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,917
being perfect,
but no longer.

515
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:51,709
Okay!

516
00:22:51,792 --> 00:22:53,667
I'm having a
trial run.

517
00:22:55,917 --> 00:22:57,333
You're making
Christmas dinner twice.

518
00:22:57,417 --> 00:22:58,834
(laughing)
Right.

519
00:22:58,917 --> 00:23:00,417
And...that's going
to be less stressful?

520
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:02,291
This way I can get
food reviews

521
00:23:02,375 --> 00:23:04,542
before I serve it to
the real guests.

522
00:23:04,625 --> 00:23:07,000
Oh-- Not that you're
not a real guest.

523
00:23:07,083 --> 00:23:08,583
So, it wouldn't
just be me?

524
00:23:08,667 --> 00:23:09,583
Oh, no, no, no!

525
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:11,041
I need more
than one opinion.

526
00:23:11,125 --> 00:23:14,542
My nephew
will be coming.

527
00:23:14,625 --> 00:23:17,041
He has just come out of a

of the Christmas meal.

640
00:27:29,875 --> 00:27:31,375
Not the eating
until you're stuffed,

641
00:27:31,458 --> 00:27:33,375
but the conversation
afterwards.

642
00:27:33,458 --> 00:27:35,250
It's different than
the talking before?

643
00:27:35,333 --> 00:27:37,083
Oh, yeah.
Sure. Absolutely.

644
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:40,000

catching up and you know,

645
00:27:40,083 --> 00:27:42,291
what's going on in your
life, blah, blah, blah--

646
00:27:42,375 --> 00:27:45,000
But, after, everybody's
just sort of skirting

647
00:27:45,083 --> 00:27:48,417
on the edge
of falling asleep.

648
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,291
People tend to...

649
00:27:50,375 --> 00:27:53,834
talk a bit slower,
they let their guard down.

650
00:27:53,917 --> 00:27:56,625
And it's less about just
socializing than it is

651
00:27:56,709 --> 00:27:59,667
really communicating.
You know what I mean?

652
00:27:59,750 --> 00:28:01,709

it like that before.

00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,583
You both did.

710
00:30:17,917 --> 00:30:19,041
We're gonnna
win this thing.

711
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:20,250
Cool.

712
00:30:20,333 --> 00:30:22,125
So, what are
we singing?

713
00:30:22,208 --> 00:30:23,375
Uh... I haven't
decided yet.

714
00:30:23,458 --> 00:30:26,166
But, I will let you
know as soon as I do.

715
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:29,041
And I'll have a rehearsal
schedule posted as well.

716
00:30:29,125 --> 00:30:31,291
Well, I'm available pretty
much whenever, so--

717
00:30:31,375 --> 00:30:32,208
Perfect.

718
00:30:32,542 --> 00:30:34,667
I have to work around
wrestling practice.

719
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:35,875
(sigh)

720
00:30:36,250 --> 00:30:38,542
Billy, I told you at the
audition if you were chosen,

721
00:30:38,625 --> 00:30:40,291
it would have to take
priority, right?

722
00:30:40,375 --> 00:30:42,333
Yeah, but I'm captain
of the team now.

723
00:30:42,417 --> 00:30:44,041
I kind of have
to show up.

724
00:30:44,125 --> 00:30:45,834
Don't worry.
I'll figure something out.

725
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:47,750
See ya.

726
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:50,542
Come ready to work!

727
00:30:50,625 --> 00:30:51,917
You got it!

Liz, you're singing
behind the beat.

734
00:31:14,166 --> 00:31:15,625
I always sing
behind the beat.

735
00:31:15,709 --> 00:31:18,333
Well, you can't when you
have a partner, though.

736
00:31:18,417 --> 00:31:19,875
That's what
the notes are for.

737
00:31:19,959 --> 00:31:22,166
Let's just-- Let's try it
one more time. Okay?

738
00:31:24,458 --> 00:31:25,208

Perfectly together,
pitch is great,

745
00:31:47,125 --> 00:31:49,583
but Amy, you're partners
with Liz, not backup.

746
00:31:49,667 --> 00:31:52,166
So, just raise
your voice a bit.

747
00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:54,000
While we stopped,
have we thought

748
00:31:54,083 --> 00:31:56,041
about how we want
to stage this?

749
00:31:56,125 --> 00:31:57,000
Stage it?

750
00:31:57,083 --> 00:31:59,250
Yeah, I was
thinking just simple.

751
00:31:59,333 --> 00:32:00,917
We just play
to the camera.

752
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,458

00:32:03,542 --> 00:32:07,542

can do that...

00:32:13,875 --> 00:32:14,792
Liz...no.

757
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:16,291
The camera
will love it.

758
00:32:16,375 --> 00:32:17,542
Yeah, it's--

759
00:32:17,625 --> 00:32:18,834
It's a Christmas
carol, though.

760
00:32:18,917 --> 00:32:20,792
That doesn't mean
we can't sell it.

761
00:32:20,875 --> 00:32:23,166
Let's just rely on our
mastery of the material.

762
00:32:23,250 --> 00:32:24,208
Okay?

763
00:32:24,959 --> 00:32:26,083
You want to win?

764
00:32:26,166 --> 00:32:28,375
You use every trick
you've got up your sleeve.

765
00:32:28,458 --> 00:32:30,959
All right, this time let's
just sing every single word

766
00:32:31,041 --> 00:32:32,458
exactly together,
okay?

767
00:32:32,542 --> 00:32:34,417
That's what
the beat's for.

Diana--
A word.

774
00:33:03,709 --> 00:33:07,750
I just learned that Estelle
Barlow is judging the contest.

775
00:33:07,834 --> 00:33:08,917
Who's she?

776
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,125
She is an alumna
of this school!

777
00:33:13,375 --> 00:33:16,083
Wouldn't that be
a conflict of interest?

778
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:18,959
I mean, the TV station
might disqualify her.

779
00:33:19,041 --> 00:33:20,625
I don't think so.

780
00:33:20,709 --> 00:33:23,667
She owns the
TV station.

781
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:25,458
Then that's great
for us, isn't it?

782
00:33:25,542 --> 00:33:26,709
I don't know.

783
00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:30,083
She may hold you to a higher
standard to appear unbiased,

784
00:33:30,166 --> 00:33:31,000
you know?

785
00:33:31,083 --> 00:33:32,375
Is she a musician?

786
00:33:32,458 --> 00:33:35,417
Well--
Let's just that she's--

787
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:40,417
She's very enthusiastic about
the arts, but she doesn't--

788
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,208
Doesn't really know
anything about them.

789
00:33:45,250 --> 00:33:47,625
So... how's
she going to judge?

790
00:33:47,709 --> 00:33:50,625
Well, she's going to rely very
heavily on the phone-in vote.

791
00:33:50,709 --> 00:33:52,583
Well, if she's insecure,
she might just go

792
00:33:52,667 --> 00:33:58,250
for the tried and true sort of
classical Christmas carol.

793
00:33:58,333 --> 00:33:59,291
That's true.

794
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,583
Or, you know, she may want
to push the envelope

795
00:34:01,667 --> 00:34:03,625
and award the prize
to something

796
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:05,709
I don't know
new and exciting.

797
00:34:05,792 --> 00:34:08,166
You two cannot second
guess this too much.

798
00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:10,709
Just make sure that
your teams are good,

799
00:34:10,792 --> 00:34:13,750
because she will be watching
you especially closely.

800
00:34:13,834 --> 00:34:14,834
We'll be ready.

We're gonna
knock 'em dead.

805
00:34:28,959 --> 00:34:29,709
Hey!

806
00:34:30,041 --> 00:34:32,542
Sorry, guys.
Wrestling ran over.

807
00:34:33,375 --> 00:34:35,208
We did talk
about this, correct?

808
00:34:35,291 --> 00:34:36,333
Right.

809
00:34:36,792 --> 00:34:38,875
Yeah. There's only a few weeks
left before the contest.

810
00:34:38,959 --> 00:34:40,333
Yep. But,
it's one song.

811
00:34:40,417 --> 00:34:42,166
I mean, how long
could it take?

812
00:34:42,250 --> 00:34:43,875
That's up to you.

813
00:34:43,959 --> 00:34:45,750
But, it's got
to be perfect.

814
00:34:46,333 --> 00:34:47,625
Okay.

815
00:34:47,709 --> 00:34:49,041
So, what are
we singing?

816
00:34:52,041 --> 00:34:54,166
You're singing...

817
00:34:54,250 --> 00:34:56,458
The First Noel.

818
00:34:56,542 --> 00:34:57,625
You're kidding,
right?

819
00:34:57,709 --> 00:34:58,333
Nope.

820
00:34:58,417 --> 00:34:59,125
You know it?

821
00:34:59,208 --> 00:35:00,625
Well, yeah,
everyone does.

822
00:35:00,709 --> 00:35:03,750
It's the same old
da-da-dum song, right?

823
00:35:03,834 --> 00:35:05,250
I mean,
it's really boring.

824
00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:06,625
Not necessarily.

825
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,667
Well, yeah, sure the
basic motif is simple,

826
00:35:11,750 --> 00:35:14,625
but we can go in a lot
of directions with it.

827
00:35:14,709 --> 00:35:15,917
Like what?

828
00:35:16,291 --> 00:35:19,667
Okay, yeah-- Well, for example
think of it as a boogie-woogie.

829
00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:21,875
You know, that same
repeating base line.

830
00:35:21,959 --> 00:35:24,750
You can do anything. Like a
doo-wop, or an up tempo--

831
00:35:24,834 --> 00:35:26,917
Could even do a disco
beat if you wanted.

832
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,166
(laughing)
Absolutely.

833
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:29,875
He's right, Billy.
I've got a lot of ideas.

834
00:35:29,959 --> 00:35:31,875
Just trust me,
it will not be boring.

835
00:35:31,959 --> 00:35:33,750
I guess I'm out-voted
anyways, so...

836
00:35:33,834 --> 00:35:36,917
Let's just
give it a try.

837
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,625
Yeah-- Fine,
fine, let's do it.

00:35:54,375 --> 00:35:56,792
It's not just the tune, think
about what you're singing.

Yep, okay.

Yep.

871
00:37:00,625 --> 00:37:02,250
So we'll sing it
together, guys.

872
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:03,291
It's good guys.

873
00:37:03,375 --> 00:37:05,041
Sounding good,
it's getting there.

874
00:37:16,333 --> 00:37:18,041
Ms. Deason?

875
00:37:18,125 --> 00:37:19,250
Hi.

876
00:37:19,333 --> 00:37:20,625
I'm Amy's mother.

877
00:37:20,709 --> 00:37:23,417
She told me this morning
about the singing contest.

878
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:26,125
Oh, she didn't
tell you before?

879
00:37:26,208 --> 00:37:29,208
No, because she
knew what I would say.

880
00:37:29,291 --> 00:37:32,291
I wish you'd asked my
permission before casting her.

881
00:37:32,375 --> 00:37:34,041
I don't want
her competing.

882
00:37:34,125 --> 00:37:35,834
But, Amy has such
a gorgeous voice

883
00:37:35,917 --> 00:37:37,625
and she's so excited
about the contest--

884
00:37:37,709 --> 00:37:38,917
I know all that.

885
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,542
But, Amy can't
handle the stress.

886
00:37:41,625 --> 00:37:42,917
Things build up
inside her.

887
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,291
She-- She can't
sleep or eat

888
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:46,917
and finally she's
a nervous wreck.

889
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:49,250
With all due respect,
Mrs. Barnes,

890
00:37:49,333 --> 00:37:51,166
I think you're underestimating
your daughter.

891
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,333
I think Amy can handle
more than you think she can.

892
00:37:55,417 --> 00:37:57,583
And what better way
to prepare for life than

893
00:37:57,667 --> 00:38:00,834
to take on things that
challenge and scare us?

894
00:38:04,542 --> 00:38:07,250
With all due respect
to you, Ms. Deason,

895
00:38:07,333 --> 00:38:09,583
my husband and I have
gone to great lengths

896
00:38:09,667 --> 00:38:12,250
to teach our daughter the
true values of Christmas--

897
00:38:12,333 --> 00:38:15,750
giving, love,
togetherness--

898
00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:17,959
We've done missions
in Mexico just to get away

899
00:38:18,041 --> 00:38:19,875
from the very
commercialism

900
00:38:19,959 --> 00:38:21,208
and consumerism
Christmas has become.

901
00:38:21,291 --> 00:38:23,750
Now you want to put
her on a television show,

902
00:38:23,834 --> 00:38:25,625
sponsored by the very
consumerism we loathe,

903
00:38:25,709 --> 00:38:28,083
so she can sing like
some kind of trick animal?!

904
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:29,083
Oh--

905
00:38:30,041 --> 00:38:31,875
I don't think so.

906
00:38:31,959 --> 00:38:34,500
Your job is to
teach, Ms. Deason.

907
00:38:34,583 --> 00:38:35,750
I'll do the parenting.

908
00:38:35,834 --> 00:38:37,583
I would never, ever
allow your daughter

909
00:38:37,667 --> 00:38:41,417
to be treated like some
sort of trick animal.

910
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:42,583
I mean, I really--

911
00:38:42,667 --> 00:38:44,875
I truly believe this has
been great for Amy.

912
00:38:44,959 --> 00:38:49,083
Ever since she's been singing,
she has come alive in class.

913
00:38:49,166 --> 00:38:51,792
She participates, she raises
her hand, she's involved--

914
00:38:51,875 --> 00:38:55,333
She's really starting to
come out of her shell.

915
00:38:55,417 --> 00:38:58,750
I genuinely think
this is good for her.

916
00:39:00,542 --> 00:39:02,625
Would you
please reconsider?

917
00:39:04,959 --> 00:39:08,542
If I can see that it's too much
for her, I'm pulling her out.

918
00:39:08,625 --> 00:39:10,500
Agreed.

919
00:39:11,625 --> 00:39:12,834
Thank you.

920
00:39:12,917 --> 00:39:14,375

Wow. Who hates
Christmas that much?

923
00:39:33,500 --> 00:39:36,166
I don't think it even has
anything to do with Christmas.

924
00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:39,166
I think she is a mother
so afraid of her child

925
00:39:39,250 --> 00:39:41,792
getting hurt that she'll do
anything to protect her.

926
00:39:41,875 --> 00:39:45,333
Which just ends up hurting the
child more in the long run.

927
00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:47,333
Obviously I can't
tell her that.

928
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:49,959
Yeah, no.
Obviously.

929

inflection in your voice?

Nothing.

Uh... I'm a person who makes
my living using my ears,

932
00:39:58,083 --> 00:40:00,458
I know a strange inflection
when I hear one.

933
00:40:00,542 --> 00:40:02,750
It's just kind of funny

Nothing.

What do you think
I'm sabotaging?

938
00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:11,792

00:40:11,875 --> 00:40:15,041
about how you haven't
had a personal life A.D.

940

I know.
You know how I know?

946
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:25,417
Because you've been
saying the same thing

947
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:28,333
for the last four years.
You just said at lunch

948
00:40:28,417 --> 00:40:31,083
how you're going to spend
another Christmas alone.

it's not.

about you.

Where you
can go on it

962
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,792

where you can meet men.

963
00:41:04,208 --> 00:41:07,041
I just don't think-- I don't
know...I can't do that.

964
00:41:07,125 --> 00:41:10,125
Why? You just look at it like a
screening process, you know?

965
00:41:10,208 --> 00:41:12,750
You find somebody,
have a drink.

966
00:41:12,834 --> 00:41:13,834
Go for dinner.

967
00:41:13,917 --> 00:41:15,500

spark who cares?

You just start over.

969
00:41:18,291 --> 00:41:20,542
Maybe. It would be
nice to meet someone.

Yes!

971
00:41:21,917 --> 00:41:23,208
Right now, I've
gotta concentrate

this contest.

973
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,208
Yeah.

Hey, did you hear this 'Estelle
Barlow' is one of the judges?

975
00:41:29,250 --> 00:41:31,000
Yeah. She's on the
board of governors.

976
00:41:31,083 --> 00:41:32,000
You knew that?
Right?

977
00:41:32,083 --> 00:41:33,166
I just found out.

978
00:41:33,583 --> 00:41:35,417
This is starting to feel less
like a Christmas concert

979
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:37,000
and more like
a job interview.

980
00:41:37,083 --> 00:41:39,000
This is crazy, I can't
that you're gonna

981
00:41:39,083 --> 00:41:41,667
lose your job if
you lose the contest.

982
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:44,208

more everyday.

What's up?

991
00:41:58,917 --> 00:42:01,542
I just heard Ms. Deason
say she may lose her job

992

if we don't win
this contest.

993

Stoddard loses?

00:44:42,709 --> 00:44:43,667
Not a lot.

1058
00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:44,792
No, you look great.

1059
00:44:44,875 --> 00:44:45,750
Thank you.

1060
00:44:45,834 --> 00:44:48,125
You look beautiful,
actually.

1061
00:44:48,208 --> 00:44:49,458
Oh...

1062
00:44:49,542 --> 00:44:50,834
Thanks again.

1063
00:44:50,917 --> 00:44:53,375
Did you wanna sit down,
have a glass of wine?

1064
00:44:53,458 --> 00:44:55,250
We can figure out
how this happened?

1065
00:44:55,333 --> 00:44:56,250
Yeah.
(laughing)

1066
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,125
Oh, thank you.

1067
00:45:07,875 --> 00:45:10,667
So, why did you say your
favorite music was classical?

1068
00:45:10,750 --> 00:45:12,125
Uh, because it is.

1069
00:45:13,333 --> 00:45:15,500
What I teach in class
doesn't necessarily reflect

1070
00:45:15,583 --> 00:45:17,041
what I listen
to at home.

1071
00:45:17,834 --> 00:45:18,667
Like Brahms?

1072
00:45:18,750 --> 00:45:20,500
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.

1073
00:45:20,583 --> 00:45:23,041
I can barely get through his
horn trio without crying.

1074
00:45:25,250 --> 00:45:27,458
I played the piano
part in a recital once,

1075
00:45:27,542 --> 00:45:30,625
it was one of the most
incredible moments of my life.

1076
00:45:30,709 --> 00:45:31,625
Do you, uh?

1077
00:45:31,709 --> 00:45:32,917
Yeah.

1078
00:45:36,083 --> 00:45:37,625
So, do you have
classical training?

1079
00:45:37,709 --> 00:45:39,166
Me?
Oh no, no.

1080
00:45:39,250 --> 00:45:44,417
I'm more of a pop kind of guy
when it comes to performing.

1081
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:46,041
Oh, you don't
like pop.

1082
00:45:46,125 --> 00:45:46,625
I forgot.

1083
00:45:46,709 --> 00:45:47,417
That's not true!

1084
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:49,083
No, no.
It's enjoyable.

1085
00:45:49,166 --> 00:45:50,291
But it's not
important.

1086
00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:52,875
Well, important like
Beethoven or Brahms?

1087
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:54,500
No. I don't
think it is.

1088
00:45:54,583 --> 00:45:56,333
So, what is your
definition of important?

1089
00:45:56,417 --> 00:45:59,667
Will people a hundred years
from today be performing it?

1090
00:45:59,750 --> 00:46:02,166
But do we live a hundred
years from today, though?

1091
00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:03,208
You know? I...

1092
00:46:03,625 --> 00:46:05,542
Popular music is important
to people who live today.

1093
00:46:05,625 --> 00:46:07,792
That's fine, I just wanna
show people there's more

1094
00:46:07,875 --> 00:46:10,542
available than what they
hear on the top 100's.

1095
00:46:10,625 --> 00:46:14,041
I mean, there are over 300 years
of some of the most incredible

1096
00:46:14,125 --> 00:46:17,000
sounds man has ever created
just waiting for them.

1097
00:46:17,083 --> 00:46:19,625
Sure, but you can't force
people to like classical music

1098
00:46:19,709 --> 00:46:21,166
by putting down
what they like.

1099
00:46:21,250 --> 00:46:22,375
I'm not
putting it down.

1100
00:46:22,458 --> 00:46:23,333
Mmm.

1101
00:46:23,417 --> 00:46:24,625
You know what?

1102
00:46:25,041 --> 00:46:28,542
Uh, this isn't going to work.
What do I owe you for the wine?

1103
00:46:28,625 --> 00:46:29,375
Don't be silly.

1104
00:46:29,458 --> 00:46:30,458
No, I insist.

1105
00:46:30,834 --> 00:46:34,083
No, really I invited you.
I'll pay for the night.

1106
00:46:35,250 --> 00:46:36,375
Bye.

1107
00:46:36,709 --> 00:46:40,834
Well, thank you for the
short but lovely night.

1108
00:46:40,917 --> 00:46:43,083
Enjoy your dinner.

1109
00:46:48,458 --> 00:46:49,834
She thinks my
music is simplistic

1110
00:46:49,917 --> 00:46:51,875
and my class is a
bunch of imbeciles.

1111
00:46:51,959 --> 00:46:52,667
She said that?

1112
00:46:52,750 --> 00:46:53,166
Yeah.

1113
00:46:53,250 --> 00:46:54,125
She said that?

1114
00:46:54,458 --> 00:46:55,875
Well...some reading
between the lines here,

1115
00:46:55,959 --> 00:46:56,542
but basically...

1116
00:46:56,625 --> 00:46:57,458
That's tough.

1117
00:46:57,792 --> 00:46:59,125
On the lighter side,
at least you know

1118
00:46:59,208 --> 00:47:00,667
the next date's
gonna go better.

1119
00:47:00,750 --> 00:47:02,667
No, there's not gonna
be a next date.

1120
00:47:02,750 --> 00:47:03,959
What are you
talking about?

1121
00:47:04,041 --> 00:47:06,041
Gotta get back on the
saddle when thrown-off.

1122
00:47:06,125 --> 00:47:07,834
That's assuming one
wants to ride again.

1123
00:47:07,917 --> 00:47:09,709
I'm giving up.
I'm done.

1124
00:47:09,792 --> 00:47:11,041
You can't do that.

1125
00:47:11,125 --> 00:47:12,000
Why not?

1126
00:47:12,375 --> 00:47:14,959
So, I'm alone. Big deal?
It's easier that way.

1127
00:47:15,041 --> 00:47:15,583
Easier?

1128
00:47:15,667 --> 00:47:16,792
Yeah.

1129
00:47:16,875 --> 00:47:17,917
Who said anything
about life being easy?

1130
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:18,750
Life is complicated.

1131
00:47:18,834 --> 00:47:19,542
Uh, Gary...

1132
00:47:19,625 --> 00:47:20,291
That make's it
interesting.

1133
00:47:20,375 --> 00:47:21,458
No, listen to me.

1134
00:47:21,542 --> 00:47:22,750
Listen to me.

1135
00:47:22,834 --> 00:47:24,000
You can't
just settle, dude.

1136
00:47:24,083 --> 00:47:25,291
You know what's
settled?

1137
00:47:25,375 --> 00:47:25,834
What?

1138
00:47:25,917 --> 00:47:27,083
The sludge.

1139
00:47:27,166 --> 00:47:29,125
The sludge at the bottom
that nobody wants.

1140
00:47:29,208 --> 00:47:31,458
You've gotta figure out
what you want in life,

1141
00:47:31,542 --> 00:47:33,458
and you've gotta
fight for it.

1142
00:47:33,542 --> 00:47:36,625
Give it
another chance!

1143
00:47:36,709 --> 00:47:37,625
Oh, god.

1144
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,917
Give me the print out
with your answers on it.

1145
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:41,458
Why?

1146
00:47:41,542 --> 00:47:43,250
I have an idea.

1147
00:47:43,333 --> 00:47:45,125
I have an idea.
Hear me out.

1148
00:47:45,208 --> 00:47:47,792
Okay, we are going write
in the opposite answers

1149
00:47:47,875 --> 00:47:49,834
of what you put
in the first time.

1150
00:47:49,917 --> 00:47:51,667
Uh... where is it?

1151
00:47:51,750 --> 00:47:53,208
Favourite food. What's
your favourite food?

1152
00:47:53,291 --> 00:47:54,083
Italian.

1153
00:47:54,166 --> 00:47:55,083
Italian...
All right, Italian.

1154
00:47:55,166 --> 00:47:56,625
Now, it's Thai.

1155
00:47:56,709 --> 00:47:57,709
(sigh)
Why?

1156
00:47:57,792 --> 00:47:59,500
Why you bothering?
What are we doing?

1157
00:47:59,583 --> 00:48:01,500
Because this way we're
guaranteed to find someone

1158
00:48:01,583 --> 00:48:03,917
completely opposite of
what you got tonight.

1159
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,583
That's what you
want, isn't it?

1160
00:48:06,291 --> 00:48:06,959
Yeah.

1161
00:48:07,291 --> 00:48:08,625
Yeah, that's
exactly what I want.

1162
00:48:08,709 --> 00:48:10,000
Okay,
so Thai it is.

1163
00:48:10,917 --> 00:48:13,166
Yeah, but you
can't just give up.

1164
00:48:13,250 --> 00:48:19,250
I'm no good at it, okay?
Romance just isn't my game.

1165
00:48:19,333 --> 00:48:21,083
(laughing)

1166
00:48:21,166 --> 00:48:24,875
Well, now
that's interesting.

1167
00:48:24,959 --> 00:48:27,291
What?

1168
00:48:27,375 --> 00:48:30,333
How you just
described romance.

1169
00:48:30,417 --> 00:48:32,333
Please, no amateur
psychoanalysis.

1170
00:48:32,417 --> 00:48:33,458
Okay.

1171
00:48:33,542 --> 00:48:34,959
Because it
meant nothing.

1172
00:48:35,041 --> 00:48:35,875
Okay.

1173
00:48:35,959 --> 00:48:37,542
It's just a figure
of speech.

1174
00:48:37,625 --> 00:48:38,667
Okay.

1175
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,750
Would you please stop
saying 'okay' like that?

1176
00:48:40,834 --> 00:48:43,875
Let me ask you a question.
Are you competitive?

1177
00:48:43,959 --> 00:48:45,542
Yeah.
I'm competitive.

1178
00:48:45,625 --> 00:48:46,417
Okay.

1179
00:48:46,792 --> 00:48:49,125
And every time you get
involved in a game,

1180
00:48:49,208 --> 00:48:50,917
what do you
want to do?

1181
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,500
I want to beat
my opponent.

1182
00:48:54,583 --> 00:48:58,750
Diana, in romance, when you
wind up in first place

1183
00:48:58,834 --> 00:49:00,458
you don't win.

1184
00:49:00,542 --> 00:49:03,458

usually really good

1243
00:52:14,625 --> 00:52:16,875

names of composers.

(laughing)

1755
01:15:43,291 --> 01:15:44,834
She'll be great.

1756
01:15:45,417 --> 01:15:46,959
Where are you
gonna be sitting?

1757
01:15:47,041 --> 01:15:49,166
Oh, oh they stuck me
beside Mr. Stoddard,

1758
01:15:49,250 --> 01:15:51,792
but that's all right. It's
just for an hour so...

1759
01:15:51,875 --> 01:15:53,041
Listen, don't
look for me.

1760
01:15:53,125 --> 01:15:56,625
Just focus on your song,
you're gonna be great.

1761
01:15:56,709 --> 01:15:57,625
All right,
that's time.

1762
01:15:57,959 --> 01:15:59,959
Could all the stage
moms, all the coaches

1763
01:16:00,041 --> 01:16:01,959
please find their seats
in the audience?

1764
01:16:02,041 --> 01:16:02,667
Thank you.

1765
01:16:04,041 --> 01:16:05,875
Good luck!

1766
01:16:07,125 --> 01:16:08,083
Look at me.

1767
01:16:08,417 --> 01:16:10,500
Forget everybody else,
okay? They don't matter.

1768
01:16:10,583 --> 01:16:12,083
You're not in
competition with them;

1769
01:16:12,166 --> 01:16:14,125
you're competing
against yourselves.

1770
01:16:14,208 --> 01:16:15,542
That's it.

1771
01:16:15,625 --> 01:16:17,542
You know the material,
you've got the technique,

1772
01:16:17,625 --> 01:16:20,458
you've got everything
you need, okay?

1773
01:16:20,542 --> 01:16:24,000
Just get out there at
just hit your personal best.

1774
01:16:24,083 --> 01:16:25,583
All right?
You can do it.

1775
01:16:25,667 --> 01:16:26,667
You guys are great.

1776
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,208
Mr. Stoddard, just wannna
say how sorry I am for--

1777
01:16:29,291 --> 01:16:31,250
Yeah. It's fine, we'll
talk about it after.

1778
01:16:31,333 --> 01:16:33,792
It was a stupid thing
to do, I feel terrible.

1779
01:16:33,875 --> 01:16:36,500
Agreed, it was, but just
concentrate on the song.

1780
01:16:36,583 --> 01:16:38,333
We'll talk about it
after, okay?

1781
01:16:38,917 --> 01:16:41,792
(whispering) You guys are
gonna be great. Trust it.

1782
01:16:41,875 --> 01:16:43,000
All right,
last call.

1783
01:16:43,417 --> 01:16:45,542
If you're not performing, you
do not belong back stage.

1784
01:16:45,625 --> 01:16:47,542
Please,
find your seats.

1785
01:16:47,625 --> 01:16:48,667
Okay?

1786
01:16:52,625 --> 01:16:56,041
(ring ring)

1787
01:16:56,125 --> 01:16:56,709
Hello?

1788
01:16:56,792 --> 01:16:57,500
It's Amy.

1789
01:16:57,834 --> 01:16:59,125
We're not supposed
to be talking,

1790
01:16:59,208 --> 01:17:00,542
the contest is
about to start.

1791
01:17:00,625 --> 01:17:02,583
I had something to tell you,
just remembered.

1792
01:17:02,667 --> 01:17:05,333
The day we were late for
rehearsal we were walking to

1793
01:17:05,417 --> 01:17:08,166
Liz's car and Mr. Stoddard
asked if we needed a ride.

1794
01:17:08,250 --> 01:17:09,083
He did?

1795
01:17:09,417 --> 01:17:11,542
If he knew our car was
gonna run out of gas

1796
01:17:11,625 --> 01:17:13,542
he wouldn't have
offered us a ride.

1797
01:17:15,333 --> 01:17:16,166
You're right.

1798
01:17:16,250 --> 01:17:17,625
All right, now
is the time

1799
01:17:17,709 --> 01:17:20,208
to turn off all electronic
devices and cell phones.

1800
01:17:21,792 --> 01:17:25,500
I've been totally
wrong about everything.

1801
01:17:25,583 --> 01:17:28,792
I said, now is the time to
give your cell phones a rest.

1802
01:17:28,875 --> 01:17:30,667
Oh, I've gotta go.

1803
01:17:30,750 --> 01:17:32,041
Thank you.

1804
01:17:36,417 --> 01:17:39,000
Ken, I need
to talk to you.

1805
01:17:39,083 --> 01:17:40,208
Great timing.

1806
01:17:40,291 --> 01:17:44,917
(drum roll
and applause)

1807
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:46,208
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome

1808
01:17:46,291 --> 01:17:49,542
to the fifth annual
Christmas Carol Sing-off.

1809
01:17:49,625 --> 01:17:51,625
You're in for night
of incredible music

1810
01:17:51,709 --> 01:17:55,041
and Christmas cheer,
but first, a round of applause

1811
01:17:55,125 --> 01:17:57,583
for the owner of this station
and our very special

1812
01:17:57,667 --> 01:18:00,750
judge tonight,
Ms. Estelle Barlow!

1813
01:18:00,834 --> 01:18:10,792
(applause)

1814
01:18:15,750 --> 01:18:18,041
(applause)

1815
01:18:18,125 --> 01:18:20,542
And now, please give it
up for the dynamic duo

1816
01:18:20,625 --> 01:18:22,583
from Zubignu
Braschinski High.

1817
01:18:22,667 --> 01:18:24,375
(applause)

1818
01:18:25,458 --> 01:18:26,333
Are you crazy?

1819
01:18:26,417 --> 01:18:27,750
Look, they're
in love;

1820
01:18:27,834 --> 01:18:29,625
it's this contest that's
driving them apart.

1821
01:18:29,709 --> 01:18:31,583
Yeah, but all
contests do that.

1822
01:18:31,667 --> 01:18:33,709
But maybe this one
doesn't have to.

1823
01:18:33,792 --> 01:18:35,041
Okay,
I was thinking...

1824
01:18:36,041 --> 01:18:37,166
(whispering)

1825
01:18:38,125 --> 01:18:40,500
I can't!
It has to wait.

1826
01:18:40,834 --> 01:18:42,375
Amy, that's
a great idea!

1827
01:18:42,458 --> 01:18:43,166
Yeah.

1828
01:18:43,625 --> 01:18:45,750
All right, I'll send
a note to the judge.

1829
01:18:45,834 --> 01:18:49,375
And uh... here,
turn around.

1830
01:18:49,458 --> 01:18:51,291
Let's hope she
lets us do it.

1831
01:19:00,792 --> 01:19:02,542
Incredible!
Congratulations!

1832
01:19:02,625 --> 01:19:04,375
Just fantastic.

1833
01:19:04,458 --> 01:19:08,041
Well, we were supposed
to have two more teams

1834
01:19:08,125 --> 01:19:12,417
competing tonight; instead we
have one special surprise.

1835
01:19:12,500 --> 01:19:13,250
Estelle?

1836
01:19:13,333 --> 01:19:18,250
(applause)

1837
01:19:18,333 --> 01:19:21,417
Until a few months ago,
Kasdan and Cresswell

1838
01:19:21,500 --> 01:19:25,667
were two different schools
with two very different ideas

1839
01:19:25,750 --> 01:19:28,166
of how to
teach music.

1840
01:19:28,250 --> 01:19:31,291
When they merged
last summer,

1841
01:19:31,375 --> 01:19:33,709
they kept both
music programs.

1842
01:19:33,792 --> 01:19:39,417
And so we agreed to allow
two separate vocal duos

1843
01:19:39,500 --> 01:19:41,500
to compete
tonight.

1844
01:19:41,583 --> 01:19:48,458
But I learned just before the
program that the teams want

1845
01:19:48,542 --> 01:19:52,000
to merge just as
their schools merged

1846
01:19:52,083 --> 01:19:58,458
and so our final contestant
is the double duo

1847
01:19:58,542 --> 01:20:00,792
of Kasdan-Cresswell!

1848
01:20:00,875 --> 01:20:03,417

neck and neck

computer crashed.

Oh, you must be
so proud!

1896
01:23:36,917 --> 01:23:39,458
I was just talking to Estelle,
who was obviously very

1897
01:23:39,542 --> 01:23:41,542
impressed with what
she saw tonight,

1898
01:23:41,625 --> 01:23:43,333
and we both agreed
that there's just..

1899
01:23:43,417 --> 01:23:45,834
it's just a tragedy when
any excellent teacher

1900
01:23:45,917 --> 01:23:46,792
is made
redundant.

1901
01:23:46,875 --> 01:23:48,375
Well, can't
argue that.

01:23:48,458 --> 01:23:49,417
(laughing)

1903
01:23:49,875 --> 01:23:52,375
Now, you know that she is a
very close friend of many

1904
01:23:52,458 --> 01:23:54,625
of the school's donors
and she knows...

1905
01:23:54,709 --> 01:23:56,166
Well how did
she put it?

1906
01:23:56,250 --> 01:23:58,917
She knows just what
buttons to press

1907
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:00,875
and where all the
skeletons are hidden,

1908
01:24:00,959 --> 01:24:04,166
I have a feeling they will be
able to come up with funding

1909
01:24:04,250 --> 01:24:06,542
for at least one more
year of the program.

1910
01:24:06,625 --> 01:24:07,291
Oh, that's amazing.

1911
01:24:07,375 --> 01:24:08,834
Isn't that great?

1912
01:24:08,917 --> 01:24:09,917

yeah.

01:24:38,208 --> 01:24:39,125
It's not much.

1929
01:24:39,208 --> 01:24:40,458
Are you
kidding me?

1930
01:24:40,542 --> 01:24:41,834
It's not much?

1931
01:24:44,041 --> 01:24:45,834
Elvis Live
In Memphis!

1932
01:24:49,041 --> 01:24:49,834
Wow!

1933
01:24:49,917 --> 01:24:51,625
Um...
This is incredible.

1934
01:24:51,709 --> 01:24:53,291
Where did you
even find this?

1935
01:24:53,375 --> 01:24:55,041
Well, contrary to what
our students think,

1936
01:24:55,125 --> 01:24:57,917
the internet is good for things
other than downloading music.

1937
01:24:58,000 --> 01:24:59,417
(laughing)

1938
01:25:00,125 --> 01:25:01,125
Ebay.

1939
01:25:01,208 --> 01:25:02,208
Wow.

1940
01:25:03,291 --> 01:25:04,792
Diana, I didn't...

1941
01:25:04,875 --> 01:25:06,625
I didn't get you
anything at all.

1942
01:25:06,709 --> 01:25:08,083
Oh, don't be silly.

1943
01:25:08,166 --> 01:25:12,333
This has been the most
amazing Christmas.

1944
01:25:14,834 --> 01:25:15,917
Really.

1945
01:25:18,208 --> 01:25:19,375
I just wanted
to say...

1946
01:25:21,083 --> 01:25:24,542
your father would have been
really proud of you tonight.

1947
01:25:24,625 --> 01:25:28,291
You played beautifully
and from the heart.

1948
01:25:30,417 --> 01:25:31,125
Thank you.

1949
01:25:33,083 --> 01:25:34,041
Yeah.

1950
01:25:35,917 --> 01:25:39,792
Hey, uh... have you got
any plans for Christmas?

1951
01:25:40,250 --> 01:25:42,542
As a matter
of fact I do.

1952
01:25:42,625 --> 01:25:45,917
Oh, really?
What are they?

1953
01:25:46,667 --> 01:25:50,083
I am going to live
every single moment.
