RIP-FIXES-SYNC
by VaVooM
3
00:01:01,551 --> 00:01:02,590
Thank you.
4
00:01:04,126 --> 00:01:05,158
Look at this.
5
00:01:06,094 --> 00:01:07,861
Let's see what we got.
6
00:01:11,767 --> 00:01:13,967
Bring enough for the whole
class, Devin?
7
00:01:14,002 --> 00:01:16,503
Absolutely.
My sister goes above and beyond.
8
00:01:16,538 --> 00:01:18,138
How about you?
Get anything from home?
9
00:01:18,173 --> 00:01:20,775
This is home.
Enjoy.
10
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:23,276
Sergeant Evans.
11
00:01:25,213 --> 00:01:27,313
From my sister's coffee
shop in Branford.
12
00:01:27,349 --> 00:01:30,617
She roasts it herself.
You'll love it.
13
00:01:30,685 --> 00:01:32,051
Thank you.
14
00:01:32,087 --> 00:01:33,153
Merry Christmas.
15
00:01:36,291 --> 00:01:37,435
Dear Miss Brown,
16
00:01:37,459 --> 00:01:39,159
I hope it's okay
that I'm writing to you.
17
00:01:39,194 --> 00:01:42,095
Your brother Devin gave me your
address so I could thank you
18
00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:44,430
for your amazing coffee
that he'd shared with me.
19
00:01:44,466 --> 00:01:47,300
It reminded me so much of home
at the holidays.
20
00:01:47,335 --> 00:01:49,247
I'm trying to ration it out
so I can extend my Christmas
21
00:01:49,271 --> 00:01:52,772
into January and February,
maybe all year.
22
00:01:54,242 --> 00:01:56,176
Dear First Sergeant Evans,
23
00:01:56,244 --> 00:01:58,211
I'm so happy
you like the coffee.
24
00:01:58,246 --> 00:02:01,481
When it comes to Christmas spirit,
I operate at a 10.
25
00:02:01,516 --> 00:02:03,449
I try to stretch out the season
as best I can,
26
00:02:03,485 --> 00:02:06,219
but by February
I already miss it.
27
00:02:06,254 --> 00:02:07,899
I don't want you to have
to ration your coffee,
28
00:02:07,923 --> 00:02:10,824
so as long as you promise
to celebrate Christmas
29
00:02:10,859 --> 00:02:13,626
every month, I promise
to keep sending more.
30
00:02:13,695 --> 00:02:15,028
Take care,
31
00:02:15,063 --> 00:02:16,063
Audrey.
32
00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:20,633
I'm doing my best to keep up
my end of the bargain here.
33
00:02:20,702 --> 00:02:22,702
This month I celebrated
by gift giving.
34
00:02:22,737 --> 00:02:25,238
Red barn coffee went with me
into a village today
35
00:02:25,273 --> 00:02:27,106
and helped me make
a few new friends.
36
00:02:27,142 --> 00:02:30,176
Let's just say your coffee
is an international success.
37
00:02:30,212 --> 00:02:32,145
You may want to prepare
for some more orders.
38
00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:34,615
Your caffeinated pen pal,
Matt.
39
00:02:35,383 --> 00:02:36,983
Four specials, you got it.
40
00:02:37,018 --> 00:02:38,429
That's amazing news!
41
00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:40,653
We've been talking about
expanding the business.
42
00:02:40,722 --> 00:02:43,022
Maybe we should take it overseas.
43
00:02:43,058 --> 00:02:44,958
My Christmas in July trick
is to sneak over
44
00:02:44,993 --> 00:02:47,894
to the local hockey rink
real early with my skates.
45
00:02:47,929 --> 00:02:52,799
The ice always has a way of
bringing me back to Christmas.
46
00:02:54,002 --> 00:02:55,568
I'm so jealous.
47
00:02:55,604 --> 00:02:56,569
I'm a true Minnesota boy,
so I could live on the ice.
48
00:02:56,605 --> 00:02:58,671
Take a lap around
the rink for me.
49
00:02:58,707 --> 00:03:00,673
I need it, 'cause
Christmas in September
50
00:03:00,709 --> 00:03:03,610
has been a tough
one to come up with.
51
00:03:03,645 --> 00:03:05,578
In times like this, I
think of George Washington
52
00:03:05,614 --> 00:03:08,414
crossing the Delaware
on Christmas night.
53
00:03:08,450 --> 00:03:10,750
I'm gonna borrow
from his brave example.
54
00:03:10,785 --> 00:03:14,220
Thank you for your letters.
They mean a lot out here.
55
00:03:14,289 --> 00:03:18,358
I love that you're so into history.
My dad was the same way.
56
00:03:18,393 --> 00:03:21,127
It's officially November,
so decorations are going up,
57
00:03:21,162 --> 00:03:24,163
and I start planning the Holiday
for Heroes event again.
58
00:03:24,232 --> 00:03:26,366
It's our way to thank
the local service men and women
59
00:03:26,401 --> 00:03:28,902
and give presents
to the families in need.
60
00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:30,703
It's the highlight
of the Christmas season
61
00:03:30,739 --> 00:03:32,906
here in Branford.
62
00:03:32,941 --> 00:03:34,607
Can you believe
it's coming up on a year
63
00:03:34,676 --> 00:03:36,309
that we've been writing?
64
00:03:36,344 --> 00:03:37,911
It went by so fast.
65
00:03:37,946 --> 00:03:40,580
Anyway, I'm glad
you've enjoyed my letters.
66
00:03:40,615 --> 00:03:42,682
It's been great
hearing from you as well.
67
00:03:42,717 --> 00:03:45,852
Let's keep the tradition going,
shall we?
68
00:03:45,921 --> 00:03:48,388
- Morning, Carlos!
- Good morning, Audrey.
69
00:03:48,423 --> 00:03:51,224
- How ya doin'?
- I am fantastic!
70
00:03:51,293 --> 00:03:52,770
You know, your artwork
just gets better
71
00:03:52,794 --> 00:03:54,160
and better every year.
72
00:03:54,229 --> 00:03:56,229
Why thank you, Audrey.
73
00:03:56,264 --> 00:03:58,164
So I brought you
some extra decorations.
74
00:03:59,267 --> 00:04:02,135
You didn't have to.
I know you're busy.
75
00:04:02,203 --> 00:04:03,347
How's our Rosa doing,
by the way?
76
00:04:03,371 --> 00:04:04,570
Six weeks to go.
77
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:06,940
Juliana has a countdown going
and everything.
78
00:04:06,975 --> 00:04:08,152
I'm doing the same thing
for Devin.
79
00:04:08,176 --> 00:04:09,042
Good.
80
00:04:09,077 --> 00:04:11,744
I can't wait to celebrate them
at the Holiday for Heroes Party.
81
00:04:11,813 --> 00:04:13,813
It's gonna be amazing.
82
00:04:13,848 --> 00:04:16,382
Because you make it amazing
every year.
83
00:04:16,418 --> 00:04:18,084
It's because I have
an amazing caterer.
84
00:04:18,119 --> 00:04:20,787
Well he does make a mean tamale.
85
00:04:20,822 --> 00:04:21,788
Speaking of, I'm gonna need
86
00:04:21,823 --> 00:04:23,256
to sample those
very soon please.
87
00:04:23,291 --> 00:04:24,023
You got it.
88
00:04:24,059 --> 00:04:25,836
- How about tomorrow?
- Sounds like a plan to me.
89
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:27,493
- There you go!
- See you then.
90
00:04:27,529 --> 00:04:28,962
All right, we'll see you.
91
00:04:28,997 --> 00:04:30,441
Dear Audrey,
as much as I would like
92
00:04:30,465 --> 00:04:32,432
to continue our letter
writing tradition,
93
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,334
I'm afraid I won't be able to.
94
00:04:34,369 --> 00:04:35,768
Don't worry, it's good news.
95
00:04:35,804 --> 00:04:37,070
Hey!
96
00:04:37,105 --> 00:04:38,237
You are never gonna believe
97
00:04:38,273 --> 00:04:39,350
where they're sending me
to finish up.
98
00:04:39,374 --> 00:04:40,206
Where?
99
00:04:40,241 --> 00:04:41,207
Branford.
100
00:04:41,242 --> 00:04:44,177
No way, that's crazy!
I'll be there for Christmas.
101
00:04:44,245 --> 00:04:47,046
- Well I'll see you back home, huh?
- Look forward to it.
102
00:04:47,082 --> 00:04:48,559
My first stop
after work will be your shop.
103
00:04:48,583 --> 00:04:52,118
Can we have a cup of Christmas
in December coffee together?
104
00:04:52,153 --> 00:04:53,252
This one's on me.
105
00:05:00,261 --> 00:05:01,261
Audrey!
106
00:05:01,896 --> 00:05:03,463
- 11 days!
- 11 days!
107
00:05:04,666 --> 00:05:06,933
- I'm so ready to have Keenan back.
- I know.
108
00:05:06,968 --> 00:05:08,735
I plan to spoil Devin rotten
this Christmas,
109
00:05:08,770 --> 00:05:11,304
partly because I need his help
decorating the barn,
110
00:05:11,339 --> 00:05:13,506
but mostly just 'cause
I miss him so much.
111
00:05:13,575 --> 00:05:16,009
You haven't decorated?
Who kidnapped the real Audrey?
112
00:05:16,044 --> 00:05:17,310
I know.
113
00:05:17,345 --> 00:05:20,480
But I just didn't want to do it
without him.
114
00:05:20,515 --> 00:05:21,914
What is this?
115
00:05:27,655 --> 00:05:29,956
Merry Christmas.
116
00:05:30,025 --> 00:05:31,557
Can I pick 'em or what?
117
00:05:31,593 --> 00:05:32,593
Yeah.
118
00:05:34,963 --> 00:05:37,230
Sure can!
119
00:05:37,265 --> 00:05:39,132
No, I'm good.
Thanks, okay.
120
00:05:49,077 --> 00:05:51,244
Did you know the dress shop
was relocating?
121
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,679
They must have
moved out overnight.
122
00:05:53,715 --> 00:05:55,782
We're thinking
the same thing, right?
123
00:05:55,817 --> 00:05:57,550
All of this space?
124
00:05:57,585 --> 00:05:59,730
I mean, we could do everything
we've been talking about.
125
00:05:59,754 --> 00:06:04,090
Break through the wall,
connect the spaces.
126
00:06:04,125 --> 00:06:05,291
Let's go back.
127
00:06:09,697 --> 00:06:12,298
Do you think we can afford it?
128
00:06:13,802 --> 00:06:15,168
Doesn't hurt to ask.
129
00:06:15,203 --> 00:06:18,471
Okay, I'll ask Luke about it tomorrow
at the Christmas tree lighting.
130
00:06:18,506 --> 00:06:20,940
Are you ladies talking
about me again?
131
00:06:21,009 --> 00:06:22,909
- Hey, Luke.
- Hi, Luke.
132
00:06:22,977 --> 00:06:24,021
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
133
00:06:24,045 --> 00:06:25,912
- The usual?
- Yup.
134
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:29,749
Hey.
135
00:06:29,818 --> 00:06:32,752
But seriously, is there something
you wanted to talk to me about?
136
00:06:32,787 --> 00:06:35,288
Yeah, actually, it's about
the space next door.
137
00:06:35,356 --> 00:06:37,857
- We're thinking about expanding.
- That would be amazing.
138
00:06:37,892 --> 00:06:40,460
I am totally booked up today
and tomorrow,
139
00:06:40,495 --> 00:06:44,363
but I could show you around
Wednesday, noon-ish?
140
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,499
Yeah, that's be great actually.
141
00:06:46,534 --> 00:06:47,534
It's a date.
142
00:06:52,307 --> 00:06:54,207
What do you think?
143
00:06:54,242 --> 00:06:56,042
It's perfect, right?
144
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,780
Let's put some lights on it.
145
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:09,088
Is there anything more romantic
than a decorated Christmas tree?
146
00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:10,957
Still writing
your pen pal, I see.
147
00:07:11,025 --> 00:07:13,593
I'm just finishing
my to-do list for the party.
148
00:07:13,661 --> 00:07:15,695
Pen pal?
How do I not know about this?
149
00:07:15,763 --> 00:07:17,764
- We're friends.
- Maybe.
150
00:07:17,799 --> 00:07:19,110
But you look forward
to his letters.
151
00:07:19,134 --> 00:07:20,566
Real life love letters?
152
00:07:20,602 --> 00:07:21,734
That's even more romantic.
153
00:07:21,803 --> 00:07:23,803
Okay, I've never even met
the guy.
154
00:07:23,838 --> 00:07:26,272
Besides, he stopped writing me.
155
00:07:26,341 --> 00:07:27,840
- Was he hurt?
- No.
156
00:07:27,876 --> 00:07:30,143
No, nothing like that.
I asked Devin.
157
00:07:30,178 --> 00:07:33,913
Maybe he's planning to show up here
and sweep you off your feet.
158
00:07:33,948 --> 00:07:37,350
Okay, can everybody just relax
for a second please?
159
00:07:37,385 --> 00:07:40,119
I have too much work to do
than to focus on that stuff.
160
00:07:40,155 --> 00:07:43,289
Besides, he's thousands
of miles away.
161
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,367
Your office will be
over there, Evans.
162
00:07:54,402 --> 00:07:56,747
Now, I know this is different
from your positions in the field,
163
00:07:56,771 --> 00:07:59,605
but we need a hand
with per stats.
164
00:07:59,641 --> 00:08:02,141
Personal statistics?
Great.
165
00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:03,743
No, I have a little
experience there.
166
00:08:03,778 --> 00:08:06,012
Well, we have
some new regulations.
167
00:08:06,047 --> 00:08:08,447
Familiarize yourself
with those, will ya?
168
00:08:08,483 --> 00:08:09,849
Yes, sir.
169
00:08:09,884 --> 00:08:11,717
Evans!
Are you kidding me?
170
00:08:11,753 --> 00:08:14,453
Oh, come on!
What am I, back in basic?
171
00:08:14,489 --> 00:08:16,923
- Thought you retired, Tom.
- From the army.
172
00:08:16,958 --> 00:08:18,324
Teaching high school now.
173
00:08:18,359 --> 00:08:20,359
- They got me coaching hockey.
- No!
174
00:08:20,395 --> 00:08:21,260
Well what are you doing here?
175
00:08:21,296 --> 00:08:23,796
I'm trying to get the brass
of public affairs to sponsor us.
176
00:08:23,865 --> 00:08:25,164
That's great.
177
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,032
How long have you been
in the States?
178
00:08:26,067 --> 00:08:28,935
Long enough to unpack.
179
00:08:28,970 --> 00:08:32,038
I got a month left
on my contract.
180
00:08:32,073 --> 00:08:33,339
And they put me here.
181
00:08:35,109 --> 00:08:36,287
This is not the Evans I know.
182
00:08:36,311 --> 00:08:37,311
Right?
183
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:39,213
But...
184
00:08:40,348 --> 00:08:42,281
It is nice to be stateside
for the holidays.
185
00:08:42,317 --> 00:08:43,249
Yeah.
186
00:08:43,284 --> 00:08:45,751
- Hey, you played hockey, right?
- Lakeville High.
187
00:08:45,787 --> 00:08:47,753
Two-time Minnesota State champ.
188
00:08:47,822 --> 00:08:51,791
- Still bragging about that.
- To anybody who will listen, buddy.
189
00:08:51,826 --> 00:08:54,060
Well hey, I got a way for you
to relive the glory days.
190
00:08:54,095 --> 00:08:55,506
Why don't you come help out
with the team?
191
00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:57,363
They don't need
a Second Drill Sergeant.
192
00:08:57,432 --> 00:08:58,397
No, I think
they'd really benefit
193
00:08:58,433 --> 00:08:59,966
from someone
that knows the game.
194
00:09:00,034 --> 00:09:04,170
I mean, I was pretty good,
but I wasn't All-State.
195
00:09:04,205 --> 00:09:05,205
Playing to my ego, huh?
196
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,872
- Is it working?
- A little bit.
197
00:09:06,908 --> 00:09:08,107
Yeah, that would be great.
198
00:09:08,176 --> 00:09:08,908
It would be fun
to get back on the ice.
199
00:09:08,943 --> 00:09:10,743
- Yeah, thanks.
- All right!
200
00:09:10,778 --> 00:09:13,546
- Practice tonight, six o'clock.
- Tonight I can't.
201
00:09:13,581 --> 00:09:14,581
I have a...
202
00:09:15,783 --> 00:09:17,550
Meeting with someone.
203
00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:19,785
Okay.
204
00:09:19,821 --> 00:09:21,887
- Tomorrow, 18:00 hours sharp?
- I'll be there.
205
00:09:21,923 --> 00:09:25,358
- All right.
- Good to see you, Tom.
206
00:09:29,264 --> 00:09:30,696
Have a great day.
207
00:09:32,166 --> 00:09:33,744
I'll have a cup
of your Christmas roast to go.
208
00:09:33,768 --> 00:09:34,768
Got it.
209
00:09:37,905 --> 00:09:39,672
There's no charge.
210
00:09:41,376 --> 00:09:43,142
I really appreciate that.
211
00:09:43,211 --> 00:09:45,544
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
212
00:09:47,215 --> 00:09:49,293
That's more than double
what her coffee would have cost.
213
00:09:49,317 --> 00:09:51,050
So generous of her.
214
00:09:51,085 --> 00:09:53,085
Let's add it
to the toy drive donation box.
215
00:09:53,154 --> 00:09:55,221
Pay it forward.
I like it.
216
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:57,568
Jade, we should really go back
to storage and look at the books.
217
00:09:57,592 --> 00:09:59,069
I say we call it
the conference room.
218
00:09:59,093 --> 00:10:01,961
- It sounds classier.
- Your silly!
219
00:10:13,207 --> 00:10:14,674
I don't know, Nathan.
220
00:10:14,709 --> 00:10:17,476
You might need to wait
until your father gets back.
221
00:10:17,512 --> 00:10:20,379
But my paper's due before then.
222
00:10:21,582 --> 00:10:24,617
You know I'm only helpful
with the math.
223
00:10:24,652 --> 00:10:26,819
Hey, what can I get for you?
224
00:10:26,888 --> 00:10:29,722
I'd like a cup
of the Christmas roast.
225
00:10:29,757 --> 00:10:33,492
- I hear it's best in December.
- Yeah.
226
00:10:33,561 --> 00:10:37,330
Can I get a name for the order,
Sergeant Evans?
227
00:10:37,365 --> 00:10:38,631
It's Matt.
228
00:10:38,666 --> 00:10:42,935
Coffee's free for servicemen.
I'll call your name when it's ready.
229
00:10:43,004 --> 00:10:44,804
You know, as a history buff,
230
00:10:44,839 --> 00:10:46,183
did you know that
this building was used
231
00:10:46,207 --> 00:10:48,808
as a munitions stockpile
during the revolutionary war?
232
00:10:48,876 --> 00:10:51,711
No.
But I bet my boss does.
233
00:10:52,714 --> 00:10:53,714
Audrey!
234
00:10:55,917 --> 00:10:57,750
You must be Pam.
235
00:10:57,785 --> 00:10:59,218
Wait.
236
00:10:59,253 --> 00:11:00,986
Are you psychic?
237
00:11:01,022 --> 00:11:02,022
No.
238
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:04,390
Is everything okay?
239
00:11:04,425 --> 00:11:06,370
Yeah, the Sergeant wants
to tell you a historical fact.
240
00:11:06,394 --> 00:11:07,394
What was it?
241
00:11:08,429 --> 00:11:10,430
- Matt?
- Yeah.
242
00:11:14,001 --> 00:11:15,801
I can't believe
I'm actually here.
243
00:11:15,837 --> 00:11:18,070
- Is this your pen pal?
- No.
244
00:11:18,106 --> 00:11:21,307
Yes, but I don't call you that.
245
00:11:21,342 --> 00:11:23,109
It's all right.
246
00:11:23,144 --> 00:11:24,810
I don't mean to act surprised.
247
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:26,946
It's just been a while
since I heard from you.
248
00:11:27,014 --> 00:11:30,015
- Since like September, right?
- September?
249
00:11:30,051 --> 00:11:31,729
You didn't get the one
that I mailed last month,
250
00:11:31,753 --> 00:11:34,420
saying I was stationed here
in Branford?
251
00:11:34,489 --> 00:11:37,056
That's amazing, but no, no,
I didn't get that one, no.
252
00:11:37,091 --> 00:11:39,892
Well then sorry to just show up
and surprise you.
253
00:11:39,927 --> 00:11:41,694
It's okay.
I love surprises.
254
00:11:41,729 --> 00:11:42,729
I do.
255
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:46,599
- Should we sit?
- Sure.
256
00:11:51,339 --> 00:11:52,571
What a great place.
257
00:11:52,607 --> 00:11:54,607
I mean, I didn't know
how to picture it.
258
00:11:54,642 --> 00:11:56,410
- Probably bigger.
- No, not at all.
259
00:11:56,444 --> 00:11:58,210
It's perfect.
260
00:11:58,279 --> 00:12:00,746
So, you're stationed here now?
261
00:12:00,782 --> 00:12:03,048
Until I figure out what's next,
262
00:12:03,084 --> 00:12:06,786
they gave me a desk job
over at the base,
263
00:12:06,821 --> 00:12:09,088
which I wasn't expecting,
264
00:12:09,123 --> 00:12:11,891
but I was happy to get
the opportunity to come here,
265
00:12:11,926 --> 00:12:15,728
and have a cup of coffee,
and meet you.
266
00:12:15,763 --> 00:12:18,030
It's nice to finally
be face to face.
267
00:12:18,065 --> 00:12:20,166
I know.
268
00:12:21,102 --> 00:12:22,334
And now that you're here,
269
00:12:22,403 --> 00:12:23,580
you can come to all
of our Christmas events,
270
00:12:23,604 --> 00:12:25,738
especially the Holiday
for Heroes Party.
271
00:12:25,773 --> 00:12:27,217
I was secretly hoping
to get that invite.
272
00:12:27,241 --> 00:12:29,209
Are you kidding?
Of course.
273
00:12:33,481 --> 00:12:34,481
So?
274
00:12:34,515 --> 00:12:36,348
What do you think,
a 10 out of 10?
275
00:12:36,417 --> 00:12:39,251
It's better in person.
276
00:12:39,287 --> 00:12:41,020
It takes me back
to Christmas morning.
277
00:12:41,055 --> 00:12:43,989
See the snow falling
on our porch.
278
00:12:44,058 --> 00:12:47,059
At your grandma's house
on Orchard Lake.
279
00:12:47,895 --> 00:12:49,395
You remembered that.
Nice!
280
00:12:49,464 --> 00:12:50,963
Yeah.
281
00:12:50,998 --> 00:12:52,965
What about you?
282
00:12:53,034 --> 00:12:55,201
Well, mostly it just
makes me think of Devin.
283
00:12:55,236 --> 00:12:56,936
It's his favorite.
284
00:12:56,971 --> 00:12:58,504
Devin's a great guy.
285
00:12:58,573 --> 00:12:59,905
Great soldier.
286
00:12:59,941 --> 00:13:02,374
I was proud to serve with him.
287
00:13:04,111 --> 00:13:05,111
Excuse me.
288
00:13:08,716 --> 00:13:10,316
His ears must be ringing.
289
00:13:10,351 --> 00:13:11,650
That's so funny.
290
00:13:11,686 --> 00:13:12,818
Hey!
291
00:13:12,854 --> 00:13:15,399
Devin, you're never gonna believe
who I'm sitting with right now.
292
00:13:15,423 --> 00:13:17,323
First Sergeant Matt Evans.
293
00:13:17,358 --> 00:13:18,491
That's great.
294
00:13:18,526 --> 00:13:21,327
Hey, Audrey, listen,
I need to make this quick.
295
00:13:21,395 --> 00:13:22,895
I'm so sorry,
but we just got word
296
00:13:22,930 --> 00:13:25,564
they need us in the field here
a few more weeks.
297
00:13:25,633 --> 00:13:27,933
I won't be home for Christmas.
298
00:13:27,969 --> 00:13:30,236
How long will you be delayed?
299
00:13:30,271 --> 00:13:34,340
Not sure, but it's the same
for the whole company.
300
00:13:34,408 --> 00:13:35,641
Well, this is for sure?
301
00:13:35,710 --> 00:13:37,221
I mean, we have so much planned
for everyone.
302
00:13:37,245 --> 00:13:38,844
It seems pretty certain.
303
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,713
We're just undermanned
right now.
304
00:13:40,781 --> 00:13:43,749
But I'll check in again
in a couple of days, okay?
305
00:13:43,784 --> 00:13:46,719
- Love you, sis.
- I love you too, Dev.
306
00:13:50,591 --> 00:13:51,591
Sorry.
307
00:13:55,496 --> 00:13:58,430
I'm guessing you know exactly
how this feels.
308
00:13:58,466 --> 00:13:59,498
All too well.
309
00:14:05,573 --> 00:14:06,573
Hey.
310
00:14:08,209 --> 00:14:11,510
I understand,
you have a job to do.
311
00:14:11,579 --> 00:14:14,380
Yeah.
Don't worry about us.
312
00:14:19,086 --> 00:14:20,686
I miss you, dad.
313
00:14:22,156 --> 00:14:23,156
Yes, sir.
314
00:14:38,606 --> 00:14:39,606
You okay?
315
00:14:40,675 --> 00:14:41,675
Yeah.
316
00:14:45,947 --> 00:14:47,313
You know what?
317
00:14:48,449 --> 00:14:50,382
Go ahead, I'm gonna...
318
00:14:50,418 --> 00:14:51,984
I'm gonna go unpack.
319
00:14:53,387 --> 00:14:55,287
But I would love
to continue this.
320
00:14:55,323 --> 00:14:56,956
That sounds good.
321
00:14:57,024 --> 00:14:59,658
Maybe I'll come by later.
322
00:14:59,694 --> 00:15:00,759
I'd like that.
323
00:15:15,176 --> 00:15:19,078
All right, half ice drill,
then we pack it up!
324
00:15:21,716 --> 00:15:23,115
They look good.
325
00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:24,216
Yeah.
326
00:15:24,251 --> 00:15:25,918
Except for Nathan.
327
00:15:25,953 --> 00:15:28,387
He's a little off today.
328
00:15:28,422 --> 00:15:32,057
You know, he just found out
his dad's not coming home for Christmas.
329
00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:33,292
I'll talk to him.
330
00:15:34,762 --> 00:15:37,029
Hey, how'd your meeting go
last night?
331
00:15:37,098 --> 00:15:38,832
- It was good.
- Yeah?
332
00:15:40,234 --> 00:15:44,003
Until she found out her brother
wasn't coming home either.
333
00:15:44,038 --> 00:15:46,105
That's rough.
334
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:47,773
How do you know this girl?
335
00:15:47,808 --> 00:15:50,843
We were writing letters back
and forth while I was deployed.
336
00:15:50,878 --> 00:15:51,810
Emails?
337
00:15:51,846 --> 00:15:53,912
No, no.
Actual letters.
338
00:15:55,449 --> 00:15:56,893
And as it turns out,
she wasn't expecting me,
339
00:15:56,917 --> 00:15:59,618
so I caught her a little
off guard, and it was...
340
00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:01,621
- Awkward.
- Yeah.
341
00:16:01,656 --> 00:16:03,266
What are you thinking?
You can't show up unannounced.
342
00:16:03,290 --> 00:16:06,792
Cut me a little slack.
I haven't done this in a while.
343
00:16:06,827 --> 00:16:10,329
I think it's great
you're making the effort.
344
00:16:10,364 --> 00:16:13,499
You know, I knew we wrote
back and forth for a year,
345
00:16:13,534 --> 00:16:16,935
but I met this girl one time,
it's like I know her forever.
346
00:16:16,971 --> 00:16:19,238
- But I should've called?
- Yeah, yeah.
347
00:16:20,307 --> 00:16:22,285
What's that Winston Churchill speech
you were always quoting?
348
00:16:22,309 --> 00:16:24,610
Never give up.
Never, never, never.
349
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:26,078
No.
350
00:16:26,147 --> 00:16:29,081
What he actually said was
"never give in".
351
00:16:29,116 --> 00:16:31,083
Never, never, never.
352
00:16:31,118 --> 00:16:33,385
In nothing, great or small.
353
00:16:34,188 --> 00:16:35,832
- You know what I mean.
- I know what you mean.
354
00:16:35,856 --> 00:16:37,956
- All right.
- And I will not give in.
355
00:16:37,992 --> 00:16:38,857
Good.
356
00:16:38,893 --> 00:16:39,893
All right, let's go boys!
357
00:16:49,837 --> 00:16:52,237
You're closing already?
358
00:16:52,273 --> 00:16:54,173
Sorry.
Christmas tree lighting tonight.
359
00:16:54,208 --> 00:16:56,442
That's right.
360
00:16:56,477 --> 00:16:58,277
It's Jade, right?
361
00:16:58,312 --> 00:16:59,244
I'm Matt.
362
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,413
Nice to meet you officially.
363
00:17:01,449 --> 00:17:02,449
You too.
364
00:17:03,884 --> 00:17:05,117
You know where Audrey is?
365
00:17:05,152 --> 00:17:06,263
I was just trying
to catch up with her.
366
00:17:06,287 --> 00:17:09,021
I'll give you one guess.
367
00:17:09,056 --> 00:17:10,355
Tree lighting.
368
00:17:10,391 --> 00:17:12,591
Right, yeah.
That was stupid.
369
00:17:14,962 --> 00:17:16,995
You're gonna be keeping an eye
on me, aren't you?
370
00:17:18,399 --> 00:17:19,865
I respect that.
371
00:17:20,801 --> 00:17:22,768
We're gonna be friends,
me and you.
372
00:17:22,837 --> 00:17:24,703
Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
373
00:17:24,739 --> 00:17:25,739
Hey coach.
374
00:17:25,773 --> 00:17:27,673
Hey!
There he is.
375
00:17:27,742 --> 00:17:28,919
Hardest working hockey player
we got.
376
00:17:28,943 --> 00:17:30,175
Got a good kid here.
377
00:17:30,211 --> 00:17:33,545
So, where would I find
this tree lighting?
378
00:17:33,614 --> 00:17:35,647
You want to walk with us?
379
00:17:35,716 --> 00:17:36,716
Thank you.
380
00:17:40,955 --> 00:17:43,255
Yes, the Holiday for Heroes
Party is still on.
381
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:46,225
It's gonna be great.
Everything's going according to plan.
382
00:17:46,260 --> 00:17:47,493
- It's exciting.
- Hey!
383
00:17:47,528 --> 00:17:49,128
Zoe!
Hi!
384
00:17:49,163 --> 00:17:51,130
- Hi.
- Hi there!
385
00:17:51,198 --> 00:17:54,066
I'm so sorry about Devin
and the rest of the company.
386
00:17:54,135 --> 00:17:55,634
Thanks.
387
00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:56,913
On behalf of the hotel,
I want to let you know
388
00:17:56,937 --> 00:17:58,570
we are fully onboard
to have the party.
389
00:17:58,606 --> 00:18:00,072
I really appreciate that.
390
00:18:00,107 --> 00:18:00,973
Even though we're missing
some of our heroes,
391
00:18:01,008 --> 00:18:02,207
I think it's really important
392
00:18:02,276 --> 00:18:03,909
that we celebrate them,
you know?
393
00:18:03,944 --> 00:18:05,744
Are we still gonna have
the toy soldier dance?
394
00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:09,648
- That's my favorite!
- Well we're gonna try our best.
395
00:18:09,683 --> 00:18:12,317
Enjoy the tree lighting.
396
00:18:12,386 --> 00:18:13,386
Audrey!
397
00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:15,587
Hey, Luke!
398
00:18:15,656 --> 00:18:16,967
Hey, I'm excited
for our date tomorrow.
399
00:18:16,991 --> 00:18:18,257
I know, me too.
400
00:18:18,292 --> 00:18:20,959
- You guys are gonna love it.
- I'm so excited!
401
00:18:21,028 --> 00:18:22,161
I can't wait.
402
00:18:22,196 --> 00:18:23,507
You're gonna be big time now.
403
00:18:23,531 --> 00:18:25,464
We have some exciting
Christmas activities
404
00:18:25,499 --> 00:18:28,200
that involve a lot of calories.
405
00:18:29,436 --> 00:18:30,814
We've got the s'mores
festival happening
406
00:18:30,838 --> 00:18:32,604
on the weekend
and in Murray Park,
407
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,108
our traditional Christmas caroling
downtown on the 17th,
408
00:18:36,177 --> 00:18:40,345
and our classic traditional
egg nog competition on the 21st.
409
00:18:43,984 --> 00:18:46,051
Plus, we've got ice skating
and sleigh rides
410
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,620
happening downtown
all month long.
411
00:18:48,656 --> 00:18:51,356
Did she forget the Holiday
for Heroes Party?
412
00:18:51,392 --> 00:18:52,869
Honoring our daughter
and the other troops?
413
00:18:52,893 --> 00:18:54,693
That's our favorite
part of Christmas.
414
00:18:54,728 --> 00:18:56,695
Are they not doing it
this year?
415
00:18:56,730 --> 00:18:58,764
I'm sure she just forgot.
416
00:19:00,234 --> 00:19:03,635
- Are you ready to light the tree?
- Yeah!
417
00:19:05,439 --> 00:19:07,840
Five, four, three, two, one!
418
00:19:22,590 --> 00:19:24,790
Mayor Fielding, mayor Fielding,
mayor Fielding?
419
00:19:24,825 --> 00:19:25,891
Hi, hi.
420
00:19:25,926 --> 00:19:28,227
- Audrey.
- Hi!
421
00:19:28,295 --> 00:19:30,462
You forgot to announce
the Holiday for Heroes Party.
422
00:19:30,497 --> 00:19:32,764
Yes, my office
was supposed to be in touch.
423
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,666
The council voted to cancel
the party this year
424
00:19:34,702 --> 00:19:36,635
because of the extended
deployment.
425
00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:38,103
Well, does the city still plan
426
00:19:38,138 --> 00:19:39,972
to match the donations
for the toy drive?
427
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,685
That's the most important part
of the event.
428
00:19:41,709 --> 00:19:42,975
I'm afraid not.
429
00:19:43,010 --> 00:19:45,510
The families will be
so disappointed.
430
00:19:45,579 --> 00:19:47,190
Yes, but the council thought
that the families
431
00:19:47,214 --> 00:19:48,714
would be more disappointed
if they had
432
00:19:48,749 --> 00:19:51,383
a Holiday for Heroes Party
without the heroes in attendance.
433
00:19:51,452 --> 00:19:53,385
Well, did you ask them?
434
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:55,854
I'm sorry, Audrey.
It's been decided.
435
00:20:03,731 --> 00:20:05,030
Hi, everyone.
436
00:20:06,333 --> 00:20:07,766
I'm Audrey Brown.
437
00:20:09,236 --> 00:20:10,769
Some of you may have noticed
438
00:20:10,838 --> 00:20:13,472
that Holiday for Heroes
was not announced this year.
439
00:20:13,507 --> 00:20:16,241
The town has decided
not to sponsor it.
440
00:20:16,277 --> 00:20:17,743
But that's okay.
441
00:20:17,778 --> 00:20:20,512
I am speaking for the planning
committee when I say
442
00:20:20,547 --> 00:20:21,925
we are going to figure
something out,
443
00:20:21,949 --> 00:20:25,684
and we are going to find
another way to honor our heroes.
444
00:20:28,689 --> 00:20:33,025
I don't know exactly what that is yet,
but if anybody has any ideas
445
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:35,093
on how to plan something
for our troops
446
00:20:35,129 --> 00:20:37,729
and support them during
this difficult time,
447
00:20:37,765 --> 00:20:39,564
you can come to
the Brown Homestead
448
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,301
on Old Oak Drive this Saturday.
449
00:20:42,336 --> 00:20:46,238
And I will make sure
to brew you lots of coffee.
450
00:20:47,608 --> 00:20:48,608
And...
451
00:20:50,945 --> 00:20:53,045
Excuse me.
Hi.
452
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,257
That's great to hear, Audrey.
453
00:20:54,281 --> 00:20:56,014
And Luke Montgomery Realty
is gonna be sure
454
00:20:56,050 --> 00:20:58,083
to sponsor whatever you decide.
455
00:20:58,118 --> 00:21:00,752
So bring your good ideas
and your holiday cheer,
456
00:21:00,788 --> 00:21:02,554
and we'll figure something out.
457
00:21:02,589 --> 00:21:03,822
Yes.
458
00:21:18,073 --> 00:21:21,274
Thank you for stepping up
last night at the tree lighting.
459
00:21:21,343 --> 00:21:22,353
I don't know
what I was thinking.
460
00:21:22,377 --> 00:21:25,278
You were thinking that it was wrong
for the city to cancel the party,
461
00:21:25,314 --> 00:21:27,392
and you wanted to do something
to help the local families.
462
00:21:27,716 --> 00:21:30,383
This girl got herself into
a situation, didn't she?
463
00:21:30,452 --> 00:21:31,732
She does that a lot,
doesn't she?
464
00:21:35,157 --> 00:21:36,157
Here it is!
465
00:21:38,827 --> 00:21:41,295
- There's so much room.
- Yeah.
466
00:21:42,831 --> 00:21:45,932
The refrigerated pastry counter
I've been wanting,
467
00:21:45,967 --> 00:21:48,301
it would fit right here.
468
00:21:48,370 --> 00:21:50,410
Goods could finally get
the space that they deserve.
469
00:21:50,472 --> 00:21:52,150
And we could like to build
a stage over here
470
00:21:52,174 --> 00:21:54,240
and invite local musicians
to play.
471
00:21:54,276 --> 00:21:55,542
I like it.
472
00:21:55,577 --> 00:21:56,577
Hey, Luke?
473
00:21:56,611 --> 00:21:58,923
Do you think the building owners
would let us tear down this wall.
474
00:21:58,947 --> 00:22:00,291
Yeah, I'm sure
they'd consider it.
475
00:22:00,315 --> 00:22:04,350
In the meantime, here are the specs
and the prices on the space.
476
00:22:05,787 --> 00:22:07,453
That's more than
I was expecting.
477
00:22:07,489 --> 00:22:09,689
Well you guys are
in a longterm lease nextdoor,
478
00:22:09,724 --> 00:22:11,724
and the prices
have gone way up since then.
479
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,527
They could honestly get that
or probably even more for the space.
480
00:22:14,596 --> 00:22:15,596
Okay.
481
00:22:15,630 --> 00:22:18,398
I'll put in a good word for you
if you want to make an offer.
482
00:22:18,433 --> 00:22:20,667
You've been really
good tenants for them.
483
00:22:20,702 --> 00:22:22,001
What do you think?
484
00:22:22,037 --> 00:22:24,270
We've been wanting this for so long.
We have to try.
485
00:22:24,306 --> 00:22:25,306
Yeah.
486
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:26,606
All right.
487
00:22:26,641 --> 00:22:27,852
Think of what the best offer
you can make is,
488
00:22:27,876 --> 00:22:29,120
and I'll pass it along
to the owners.
489
00:22:29,144 --> 00:22:31,845
- Okay, yeah, we can do that today.
- Yes!
490
00:22:31,913 --> 00:22:33,880
And now, as someone
who is committed to the cause,
491
00:22:33,915 --> 00:22:37,617
how can I help with
this planning meeting?
492
00:22:37,652 --> 00:22:39,652
How quickly
can you make a flyer?
493
00:22:39,688 --> 00:22:41,855
Planning party at your place.
How fun is that?
494
00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:43,868
Do you want me to cover the shop
while you're at the meeting?
495
00:22:43,892 --> 00:22:45,492
- Would that be okay?
- Yeah, of course.
496
00:22:45,527 --> 00:22:48,728
But, wait, just remember, whatever
you plan, I have dibs on decorating.
497
00:22:48,764 --> 00:22:49,929
Done.
498
00:22:51,566 --> 00:22:52,732
Are you expecting someone?
499
00:22:52,768 --> 00:22:55,769
Every time that door opens,
you light up like a Christmas tree.
500
00:22:55,804 --> 00:22:58,171
I don't know, I thought
Matt would come by again.
501
00:22:58,206 --> 00:23:00,473
He did.
The night of the tree lighting.
502
00:23:00,509 --> 00:23:02,453
I showed him to the town square.
You didn't see him?
503
00:23:02,477 --> 00:23:03,576
No.
504
00:23:04,746 --> 00:23:06,246
Nathan can show him the flyers.
505
00:23:06,314 --> 00:23:09,249
He's helping coach Daniels
with the hockey team.
506
00:23:09,284 --> 00:23:10,695
You want to write a letter
on the back?
507
00:23:10,719 --> 00:23:11,751
Very funny.
508
00:23:12,988 --> 00:23:14,621
Actually...
509
00:23:14,656 --> 00:23:16,923
I'll take it to him myself.
510
00:23:19,427 --> 00:23:22,362
- How do you get so much power?
- You gotta lock your elbows, right?
511
00:23:22,430 --> 00:23:25,398
So the stick flexes against the ice.
You see that?
512
00:23:25,433 --> 00:23:26,399
'Cause then that generates
a lot more power
513
00:23:26,434 --> 00:23:27,834
than we can do on our own.
514
00:23:27,869 --> 00:23:29,269
All right, here.
515
00:23:32,707 --> 00:23:33,707
Come on.
516
00:23:38,346 --> 00:23:40,057
Look, what you gotta do
is you think of your stick
517
00:23:40,081 --> 00:23:43,016
kinda like one of those
medieval catapults, right?
518
00:23:43,051 --> 00:23:44,651
Like you crank back
that wooden arm.
519
00:23:44,686 --> 00:23:48,054
That way, when it releases,
you knock down the castle gate.
520
00:23:48,089 --> 00:23:49,522
All right, come on.
521
00:23:50,325 --> 00:23:51,357
Nice!
522
00:23:51,426 --> 00:23:53,194
That was great!
Did you feel that?
523
00:23:53,228 --> 00:23:54,194
Yeah.
524
00:23:54,229 --> 00:23:55,339
All right,
way to put in the work.
525
00:23:55,363 --> 00:23:56,863
Good job,
I'll see you tomorrow.
526
00:23:56,898 --> 00:23:59,299
Hey coach, seems like you know
a lot about history.
527
00:23:59,334 --> 00:24:01,467
I would hope so.
I majored in it.
528
00:24:01,536 --> 00:24:05,071
Jared Franklin and I are study
partners, and we're way behind.
529
00:24:05,140 --> 00:24:08,107
- Any way you could help tutor us?
- Of course.
530
00:24:08,143 --> 00:24:10,021
You guys figure out a day that works
for you, and we'll get it done.
531
00:24:10,045 --> 00:24:11,010
- All right, cool.
- Good job today.
532
00:24:11,046 --> 00:24:12,946
- You did great.
- Thanks.
533
00:24:19,554 --> 00:24:23,623
- This is a nice surprise.
- I told you, I love surprises.
534
00:24:23,692 --> 00:24:25,859
Well, except for this one.
535
00:24:27,395 --> 00:24:29,395
The city is canceling
the Holiday for Heroes event.
536
00:24:30,332 --> 00:24:33,399
But I still want to think of a way
we can celebrate these families.
537
00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:36,269
Your insight would be really
valuable if you can make it.
538
00:24:36,304 --> 00:24:39,272
- Of course I can make it.
- Great.
539
00:24:39,341 --> 00:24:40,651
And I'd love to still find
that time to talk
540
00:24:40,675 --> 00:24:44,377
or do something else,
do something christmasy.
541
00:24:45,313 --> 00:24:46,913
Well the ice is free now.
542
00:24:46,948 --> 00:24:49,682
'Cause wasn't this your Christmas
in July or something?
543
00:24:49,718 --> 00:24:53,219
Yeah, that's a good memory.
Where are all the decorations?
544
00:24:53,255 --> 00:24:54,754
I know this is a hockey rink,
545
00:24:54,823 --> 00:24:57,624
but this place is like a four
on the Christmas meter.
546
00:24:57,659 --> 00:25:00,960
Oh, right, 'cause
you only operate at a 10.
547
00:25:00,996 --> 00:25:02,195
Thanks.
548
00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:03,663
Well.
549
00:25:03,698 --> 00:25:05,543
No, honestly, I'd love to,
but I have to get back to work.
550
00:25:05,567 --> 00:25:07,934
But some time, yeah, sure.
551
00:25:07,969 --> 00:25:10,370
- I'll hold you to it.
- Great.
552
00:25:10,405 --> 00:25:11,671
Okay.
553
00:25:11,706 --> 00:25:13,473
I'll see you Saturday.
554
00:25:20,348 --> 00:25:22,693
Who are you gonna spend Christmas
with since I can't be there?
555
00:25:22,717 --> 00:25:24,150
Don't remind me.
556
00:25:24,185 --> 00:25:28,154
Hey, you can see the mantle, right?
I hung up our stockings.
557
00:25:28,223 --> 00:25:29,522
It looks great.
558
00:25:29,557 --> 00:25:31,190
But I'm serious.
559
00:25:31,226 --> 00:25:32,992
I don't know.
560
00:25:33,028 --> 00:25:36,529
Maybe I'll open up the shop for people
like me who want a place to go.
561
00:25:36,564 --> 00:25:38,965
- Did you put the tree up yet?
- I can't do it without you.
562
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,334
- It's tradition.
- Don't wait.
563
00:25:41,369 --> 00:25:44,904
This is your Christmas too.
I want you to be happy.
564
00:25:44,940 --> 00:25:48,408
Listen, don't stress so much
about them canceling the event.
565
00:25:48,443 --> 00:25:50,944
We all still know
you're thinking of us.
566
00:25:50,979 --> 00:25:54,147
But you deserve so much more.
567
00:25:54,182 --> 00:25:56,716
What are you talking about?
You spoil me rotten.
568
00:25:56,751 --> 00:25:58,129
I get so many care packages
over here
569
00:25:58,153 --> 00:26:00,320
that I end up sharing 'em
with half the guys.
570
00:26:00,355 --> 00:26:02,989
Doesn't everybody
get care packages?
571
00:26:03,024 --> 00:26:05,625
Not the Audrey Brown treatment.
572
00:26:07,162 --> 00:26:08,561
Well they should.
573
00:26:11,232 --> 00:26:13,833
I know what that look means.
574
00:26:13,868 --> 00:26:15,868
Just promise me
you won't pull a full Audrey
575
00:26:15,904 --> 00:26:17,648
and spend so much time
worrying about everyone else
576
00:26:17,672 --> 00:26:20,073
that you forget about yourself.
577
00:26:20,108 --> 00:26:23,376
Hey, I gotta go.
But I'll talk soon, okay?
578
00:26:23,445 --> 00:26:24,177
- Love you.
- Okay, I love you.
579
00:26:24,212 --> 00:26:25,411
Be safe.
580
00:26:25,447 --> 00:26:26,447
- Bye.
- Bye.
581
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:32,685
Jade.
582
00:26:32,754 --> 00:26:35,455
How quickly can you make
12 dozen snickerdoodles?
583
00:26:54,075 --> 00:26:55,308
Audrey, Jade.
584
00:26:56,578 --> 00:26:58,144
Audrey,
did you organize all this?
585
00:26:58,179 --> 00:27:00,346
With the help of Jade's
amazing baking skills
586
00:27:00,382 --> 00:27:03,116
and wonderful volunteers
who brought donations.
587
00:27:03,151 --> 00:27:05,885
I'm gonna find a home
for these.
588
00:27:09,824 --> 00:27:11,190
Hey coach!
589
00:27:11,226 --> 00:27:13,726
Hey fellas.
What's going on?
590
00:27:13,795 --> 00:27:15,161
Let me see that.
591
00:27:16,664 --> 00:27:18,564
Your friend's here.
592
00:27:21,002 --> 00:27:21,868
Matt.
593
00:27:21,936 --> 00:27:23,603
- Hi.
- Hey.
594
00:27:23,638 --> 00:27:25,772
- I'm glad you could make it.
- Me too.
595
00:27:25,807 --> 00:27:27,640
That looks familiar.
596
00:27:27,675 --> 00:27:31,811
Hey, would you let me
embarrass you for a minute?
597
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,779
That doesn't sound good.
598
00:27:32,814 --> 00:27:34,080
Coach!
599
00:27:34,115 --> 00:27:37,016
Coach, coach, coach,
coach, coach, coach!
600
00:27:39,054 --> 00:27:42,188
Could I get everybody's
attention, please?
601
00:27:42,223 --> 00:27:43,823
Thanks so much.
602
00:27:43,858 --> 00:27:45,458
I just wanted to thank you all
603
00:27:45,493 --> 00:27:47,460
for coming to our
little planning party,
604
00:27:47,529 --> 00:27:51,097
which then turned into
our little care package party.
605
00:27:51,132 --> 00:27:54,767
And I wanted to introduce you
to First Sergeant Matt Evans,
606
00:27:54,803 --> 00:27:56,969
who recently returned
from Afghanistan.
607
00:27:59,974 --> 00:28:01,419
I was hoping you could tell us
a little bit
608
00:28:01,443 --> 00:28:04,377
about what the care packages
mean to the troops.
609
00:28:04,412 --> 00:28:08,114
Honestly, they mean more
than you could ever know.
610
00:28:08,149 --> 00:28:10,450
And it doesn't matter
how big or how little.
611
00:28:10,485 --> 00:28:13,219
Just knowing that someone
back home is thinking of you
612
00:28:13,254 --> 00:28:17,757
can make your whole day, or
even your whole holiday season,
613
00:28:17,826 --> 00:28:20,693
because the reality is,
is that not every soldier
614
00:28:20,762 --> 00:28:22,829
gets something for Christmas.
615
00:28:22,897 --> 00:28:25,364
I know because
I was one of them.
616
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,502
Until Miss Brown was kind enough
to remedy that,
617
00:28:29,571 --> 00:28:31,370
and it changed everything
for me,
618
00:28:31,406 --> 00:28:35,174
so I think this is a great
idea that you're doing.
619
00:28:35,210 --> 00:28:37,610
After hearing that,
I think we can all agree
620
00:28:37,645 --> 00:28:39,912
that no soldier from this base
621
00:28:39,981 --> 00:28:43,015
should go without a care package
this Christmas.
622
00:28:45,687 --> 00:28:47,053
Yeah.
623
00:28:47,088 --> 00:28:50,790
I've gathered a list of all of the names
of those serving who are from Branford,
624
00:28:50,825 --> 00:28:52,859
so let's get packing!
625
00:28:52,894 --> 00:28:55,161
And make sure
you add a personal note.
626
00:28:55,196 --> 00:28:56,529
It really means a lot to them.
627
00:28:56,564 --> 00:28:58,142
Be sure that you tell 'em
that everybody back home
628
00:28:58,166 --> 00:29:00,299
is okay, that you're happy.
629
00:29:00,368 --> 00:29:03,069
It gives them the security
and the peace of mind
630
00:29:03,138 --> 00:29:05,838
to go out and do their jobs
without worrying.
631
00:29:05,907 --> 00:29:07,651
'Cause if you ask them,
they're gonna tell you
632
00:29:07,675 --> 00:29:09,308
that it's the families
who are back home
633
00:29:09,344 --> 00:29:12,812
keeping everything together
who are the heroes.
634
00:29:12,847 --> 00:29:16,082
Which is why
we should still throw
635
00:29:16,151 --> 00:29:17,884
the Holiday for Heroes Party,
636
00:29:17,952 --> 00:29:21,053
in honor of all the heroes
right here in Branford.
637
00:29:21,089 --> 00:29:23,556
- Who's with me?
- We are.
638
00:29:23,591 --> 00:29:24,991
I mean, it would
be a lot of work,
639
00:29:25,026 --> 00:29:27,304
especially since the city's
cut all of our funding, but...
640
00:29:27,328 --> 00:29:30,196
- I'll provide the food again this year.
- And I'm all over deserts.
641
00:29:30,231 --> 00:29:32,798
I'm pretty sure the hotel
can still donate the event space.
642
00:29:32,834 --> 00:29:35,501
- You know I'm great at flyers.
- Amazing!
643
00:29:35,537 --> 00:29:37,103
I mean, we're practically
halfway there.
644
00:29:37,172 --> 00:29:38,883
I would just need some help
with planning and logistics.
645
00:29:38,907 --> 00:29:40,173
I can do that.
646
00:29:40,208 --> 00:29:41,752
I can help
with the planning, logistics.
647
00:29:41,776 --> 00:29:43,242
Thank you, great.
648
00:29:43,278 --> 00:29:45,378
All right, everybody,
spread the word!
649
00:29:45,413 --> 00:29:48,447
The Holiday for Heroes Party
is officially back on!
650
00:29:53,723 --> 00:29:55,256
And I just still have
to check with Zoe
651
00:29:55,292 --> 00:29:57,559
to confirm
that we can use the hotel.
652
00:29:57,594 --> 00:29:59,427
I have a confession.
653
00:29:59,496 --> 00:30:00,662
What?
654
00:30:00,697 --> 00:30:04,599
- I know nothing about planning a party.
- Really?
655
00:30:04,634 --> 00:30:05,874
I just said that I would help
656
00:30:05,902 --> 00:30:09,771
so I could spend
a little time with you.
657
00:30:11,374 --> 00:30:12,774
Well I'm really glad you did.
658
00:30:12,843 --> 00:30:15,121
'Cause you're not the easiest
person in the world to get ahold of.
659
00:30:15,145 --> 00:30:16,578
What?
660
00:30:16,613 --> 00:30:18,646
Okay, I admit I have a hard time
sitting still,
661
00:30:18,715 --> 00:30:20,426
but I just figure
if there's work to be done
662
00:30:20,450 --> 00:30:22,517
and people in need,
I might as well do it.
663
00:30:22,552 --> 00:30:24,085
Best prize life has to offer
664
00:30:24,121 --> 00:30:25,987
is the chance to work hard
on work worth doing.
665
00:30:26,056 --> 00:30:29,057
Teddy Roosevelt,
and I totally agree.
666
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,128
Yeah, Devin says I do too much.
667
00:30:33,163 --> 00:30:36,397
But he's off defending our country,
so he's one to talk.
668
00:30:36,466 --> 00:30:39,400
- You and Dev seem pretty close.
- We are.
669
00:30:39,436 --> 00:30:41,603
Our parents passed away
when I was 18, he was 12,
670
00:30:41,638 --> 00:30:44,205
so I feel like I raised him.
671
00:30:44,241 --> 00:30:46,908
That was quite
the responsibility.
672
00:30:46,943 --> 00:30:49,277
That changed your whole life.
673
00:30:49,346 --> 00:30:51,346
He's my brother.
674
00:30:51,381 --> 00:30:53,781
He means everything to me.
675
00:30:53,817 --> 00:30:57,919
Well, besides maybe being
the best sister in the world,
676
00:30:57,988 --> 00:30:59,754
what do you do for fun
677
00:30:59,789 --> 00:31:03,057
that's not tied to committees
and party planning?
678
00:31:03,093 --> 00:31:04,826
- I do fun things.
- Like what?
679
00:31:04,861 --> 00:31:05,994
Like...
680
00:31:07,464 --> 00:31:10,131
Tonight actually, there's
this Christmas event in town.
681
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,734
Do you want to go with me?
682
00:31:12,802 --> 00:31:15,904
- I would love to.
- Okay.
683
00:31:15,939 --> 00:31:17,850
After we finish this very
important planning session.
684
00:31:17,874 --> 00:31:20,475
I like your attitude.
685
00:31:20,510 --> 00:31:21,854
I just want to make
the party great this year.
686
00:31:21,878 --> 00:31:25,513
So many people can't make it.
It has to be extra special.
687
00:31:35,358 --> 00:31:36,491
I don't even know.
688
00:31:36,526 --> 00:31:38,246
- I think I did it wrong.
- No, it was good.
689
00:31:38,395 --> 00:31:42,163
Hey, Carlos, question for you.
We're talking Holiday for Heroes.
690
00:31:42,199 --> 00:31:45,166
What is the best part
of the event for you?
691
00:31:45,235 --> 00:31:47,502
Besides the toy soldiers?
692
00:31:47,537 --> 00:31:49,037
It's really fun.
693
00:31:49,072 --> 00:31:51,339
No, but honestly,
the best part is when they honor
694
00:31:51,408 --> 00:31:54,108
my daughter Rosa
and all the troops.
695
00:31:54,144 --> 00:31:57,879
It unites the families,
makes them strong.
696
00:31:57,948 --> 00:32:01,583
Hey, I got something for you.
Hold on, stay right there!
697
00:32:02,852 --> 00:32:05,186
You know, I haven't been
to a place this fun
698
00:32:05,222 --> 00:32:07,655
for Christmas in a long time.
699
00:32:08,558 --> 00:32:09,657
Yeah.
700
00:32:09,693 --> 00:32:12,060
So what did you usually do
for Christmas?
701
00:32:12,128 --> 00:32:14,729
Well, I spent a lot of
those years writing papers
702
00:32:14,764 --> 00:32:18,366
every spare moment I had,
trying to finish my degree.
703
00:32:18,401 --> 00:32:22,237
And then, after that
I would find all the guys
704
00:32:22,272 --> 00:32:25,573
who couldn't go home for Christmas,
and we would celebrate.
705
00:32:25,642 --> 00:32:27,108
That's nice.
706
00:32:27,143 --> 00:32:31,045
So what are you doing this year?
Are you heading back to Minnesota?
707
00:32:31,081 --> 00:32:32,880
My grandma passed away
about 10 years ago,
708
00:32:32,916 --> 00:32:35,083
and I've been overseas
ever since.
709
00:32:35,118 --> 00:32:38,186
So, I just don't have an emotional
connection there anymore.
710
00:32:38,221 --> 00:32:40,054
But what was that...
711
00:32:40,090 --> 00:32:41,901
What was the thing Carlos,
the toy solider thing
712
00:32:41,925 --> 00:32:43,157
Carlos was talking about?
713
00:32:43,226 --> 00:32:45,193
Is that like a revolutionary
war reenactment.
714
00:32:45,228 --> 00:32:48,329
- You'd love that, wouldn't you?
- Yes I would!
715
00:32:48,365 --> 00:32:49,831
I hate to disappoint you,
but I think
716
00:32:49,866 --> 00:32:50,732
we're gonna have to cancel it
this year.
717
00:32:50,767 --> 00:32:51,877
I should take it off the list.
718
00:32:51,901 --> 00:32:53,012
Wait, you haven't even told me
what it is.
719
00:32:53,036 --> 00:32:54,636
Well, every year
some of the local troops
720
00:32:54,671 --> 00:32:56,337
do this really great
marching routine
721
00:32:56,373 --> 00:32:58,740
dressed in the uniforms,
dressed like toy soldiers,
722
00:32:58,775 --> 00:33:01,577
the big hats, the red coats.
It's super charming.
723
00:33:01,645 --> 00:33:03,945
All right, okay,
these are for you.
724
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:07,248
I want you to drink this
and tell me what you think.
725
00:33:07,284 --> 00:33:09,384
- Is this your eggnog?
- Oh yeah!
726
00:33:09,452 --> 00:33:13,221
And I put a little extra hint
of Mexican hot chocolate in there.
727
00:33:13,256 --> 00:33:15,523
Ooh, a little kick in there.
I like that!
728
00:33:15,558 --> 00:33:17,792
- Do you think it needs more cinnamon?
- Maybe a pinch.
729
00:33:17,827 --> 00:33:19,027
Sadly, I really shouldn't.
730
00:33:19,095 --> 00:33:20,740
I'm judging the eggnog competition
this year.
731
00:33:20,764 --> 00:33:22,497
I need to remain impartial.
732
00:33:22,532 --> 00:33:25,199
I am not a judge,
nor do I need to remain impartial,
733
00:33:25,268 --> 00:33:26,968
so I want hers as well.
734
00:33:27,003 --> 00:33:28,069
There you go.
735
00:33:28,104 --> 00:33:29,737
That right there
is the Christmas spirit.
736
00:33:33,843 --> 00:33:37,645
So the Christmas thing
that you invited me to tonight,
737
00:33:37,681 --> 00:33:38,980
what's that all about?
738
00:33:39,015 --> 00:33:41,716
Well let's just say
if you like Christmas before,
739
00:33:41,751 --> 00:33:45,520
this is gonna make you
like it even s'more.
740
00:34:01,137 --> 00:34:03,237
What is all this?
741
00:34:03,273 --> 00:34:06,808
Just some extra firewood
and blankets.
742
00:34:06,843 --> 00:34:09,477
You aren't related to
Florence Nightingale, are you?
743
00:34:09,512 --> 00:34:10,812
I can't help myself.
744
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,680
I don't want anyone
to be too cold out here.
745
00:34:12,716 --> 00:34:13,716
Okay.
746
00:34:14,918 --> 00:34:17,452
- We can rest this here if you want.
- Yeah, okay.
747
00:34:17,487 --> 00:34:18,487
Yeah.
748
00:34:21,424 --> 00:34:22,424
Hey there.
749
00:34:23,660 --> 00:34:27,061
We will take the jolly
Saint Nick package please.
750
00:34:32,402 --> 00:34:33,402
Where are the toppings?
751
00:34:33,436 --> 00:34:35,269
Over there.
And there's a lot of options.
752
00:34:35,338 --> 00:34:38,439
There's peanut butter,
there's chocolate covered Espresso beans.
753
00:34:38,475 --> 00:34:40,208
People here
get really creative.
754
00:34:40,243 --> 00:34:43,044
I am an expert at this.
Let me make you one.
755
00:34:43,079 --> 00:34:44,379
What would you like?
756
00:34:44,447 --> 00:34:45,613
Surprise me.
757
00:34:46,583 --> 00:34:48,516
Meet me in 10 minutes.
758
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,608
- Hi.
- Hey.
759
00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:15,576
All right, close your eyes.
760
00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:17,780
Okay.
761
00:35:24,454 --> 00:35:25,454
And open.
762
00:35:27,390 --> 00:35:30,224
How am I supposed to eat this?
763
00:35:30,260 --> 00:35:31,859
Oh no!
764
00:35:31,895 --> 00:35:33,995
It looks good though.
765
00:35:36,866 --> 00:35:39,934
That's good.
I might eat one more bite.
766
00:35:44,507 --> 00:35:47,775
- What is in this?
- Peppermint bar, chocolate drizzle.
767
00:35:47,844 --> 00:35:49,622
This is like a 10 on the
Christmas s'mores scale.
768
00:35:49,646 --> 00:35:51,312
You have to try it.
769
00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:56,517
I don't think I'm ever gonna be able
to eat a regular s'more again.
770
00:35:56,553 --> 00:35:58,986
Do I have anything on my face?
771
00:35:59,022 --> 00:36:01,189
No, it's perfect.
772
00:36:01,224 --> 00:36:02,224
Me?
773
00:36:02,258 --> 00:36:03,491
You're good.
774
00:36:04,828 --> 00:36:06,294
But you know what?
775
00:36:06,329 --> 00:36:09,408
If we don't have this after eating
s'mores, we're just not doing it right.
776
00:36:09,432 --> 00:36:10,432
So true.
777
00:36:12,001 --> 00:36:13,034
How am I?
778
00:36:13,970 --> 00:36:14,702
- Pretty good.
- Yeah?
779
00:36:14,737 --> 00:36:16,170
Yeah.
780
00:36:16,206 --> 00:36:18,284
So, how'd you get pulled into
coaching the hockey team?
781
00:36:18,308 --> 00:36:21,342
Assistant coaching.
Tom asked me to.
782
00:36:22,812 --> 00:36:26,013
You know, I was raised by my
grandma, and a coach stepped in
783
00:36:26,049 --> 00:36:29,817
and it really made
a difference for me.
784
00:36:29,886 --> 00:36:31,719
Paying it forward.
785
00:36:31,754 --> 00:36:32,754
I like it.
786
00:36:39,996 --> 00:36:44,107
Military school in Virginia, huh?
Never saw you as the teaching type.
787
00:36:44,307 --> 00:36:45,632
It's just an interview, sir.
788
00:36:45,701 --> 00:36:47,634
Well, your leave is approved,
789
00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:51,571
but your commander may not
write your letter of rec.
790
00:36:51,607 --> 00:36:52,607
And why is that?
791
00:36:52,641 --> 00:36:56,510
Come on.
You know he wants you to reenlist.
792
00:36:56,545 --> 00:37:00,213
Army always needs good men
like you in the field.
793
00:37:00,249 --> 00:37:03,183
You can teach
when you're gray like me.
794
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,320
Evans.
795
00:37:05,921 --> 00:37:07,187
Think about it.
796
00:37:11,493 --> 00:37:14,928
- How cute is this?
- I love that one!
797
00:37:14,963 --> 00:37:16,897
I had a collection of angels
growing up.
798
00:37:16,965 --> 00:37:19,366
I myself
was a snow globe kind of girl.
799
00:37:20,169 --> 00:37:21,735
You and Devin both.
800
00:37:21,770 --> 00:37:24,237
My parents used to give him one
every Christmas.
801
00:37:24,306 --> 00:37:27,908
After they passed,
I kept up the tradition.
802
00:37:27,943 --> 00:37:29,543
You know, you're
a really good sister.
803
00:37:29,578 --> 00:37:33,513
Well, I had a lot of support.
This whole town was here for us.
804
00:37:33,549 --> 00:37:35,082
That's why I want to give back.
805
00:37:35,117 --> 00:37:37,517
I mean, this toy drive is so
important to so many families.
806
00:37:37,553 --> 00:37:40,020
Hopefully some more donations
will come in soon.
807
00:37:40,055 --> 00:37:41,788
Without the town
matching the donations,
808
00:37:41,824 --> 00:37:44,091
we're not gonna come even close
to what we're used to.
809
00:37:44,126 --> 00:37:46,293
We're doing the best we can.
810
00:37:46,328 --> 00:37:48,829
You know what,
I'm gonna talk to Zoe tonight.
811
00:37:48,864 --> 00:37:51,565
Maybe she can leave
a donation box at the hotel.
812
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,633
And maybe Luke can leave one
at the office.
813
00:37:53,669 --> 00:37:55,309
And I can call
the local news station.
814
00:37:55,337 --> 00:37:57,437
Maybe they can do a story,
and it'll raise awareness.
815
00:37:57,473 --> 00:37:59,439
I'm sure everyone
would love to help,
816
00:37:59,508 --> 00:38:00,885
but don't spend
all your time on this.
817
00:38:00,909 --> 00:38:02,809
You should enjoy the holiday too,
you know.
818
00:38:02,845 --> 00:38:04,578
Well, my way of enjoying
the holidays
819
00:38:04,613 --> 00:38:08,348
is making sure everyone else
enjoys them as well.
820
00:38:08,384 --> 00:38:11,885
You certainly help me
to enjoy it.
821
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,254
Especially with Keenan gone.
822
00:38:21,730 --> 00:38:22,730
It's Matt.
823
00:38:25,734 --> 00:38:27,100
Well, pick up.
824
00:38:30,305 --> 00:38:32,272
- Hey.
- Hey, how are you?
825
00:38:32,307 --> 00:38:33,073
I'm great!
826
00:38:33,108 --> 00:38:35,520
I'm here with Jade.
We're wrapping gifts for the toy drive.
827
00:38:35,544 --> 00:38:36,810
Nice.
828
00:38:36,845 --> 00:38:39,112
Hey, I was wondering if...
829
00:38:40,783 --> 00:38:43,417
You would want to join
me for a skate tonight.
830
00:38:43,485 --> 00:38:46,753
- I may even have a surprise for you.
- Tonight?
831
00:38:46,789 --> 00:38:51,658
- I have to work on these donations.
- Actually, I'll do that later.
832
00:38:51,693 --> 00:38:53,660
I'd love to go with you.
833
00:38:55,798 --> 00:38:58,165
You know what,
actually I'd love to go.
834
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,667
Yeah?
Great.
835
00:39:00,702 --> 00:39:02,803
Well maybe we meet at the rink
around six?
836
00:39:02,871 --> 00:39:04,104
Okay.
837
00:39:04,139 --> 00:39:04,871
I'll see you then.
838
00:39:04,907 --> 00:39:06,673
- See you then.
- Bye.
839
00:39:07,843 --> 00:39:09,443
Are you sure this
is a good idea?
840
00:39:09,478 --> 00:39:10,777
We only have a week.
841
00:39:10,813 --> 00:39:13,580
Audrey, I love you,
but you're in desperate need
842
00:39:13,649 --> 00:39:16,750
of a night to relax
and have some fun.
843
00:39:22,057 --> 00:39:26,426
Keep 'em closed, closed.
Slow down, slow.
844
00:39:26,462 --> 00:39:27,462
And...
845
00:39:28,030 --> 00:39:29,062
Open.
846
00:39:36,872 --> 00:39:38,772
It's amazing!
847
00:39:38,807 --> 00:39:40,040
You did this?
848
00:39:40,075 --> 00:39:41,608
I had a little help.
849
00:39:41,677 --> 00:39:45,111
By the way, the hockey moms
can do anything.
850
00:39:46,048 --> 00:39:47,514
It's beautiful.
851
00:39:48,817 --> 00:39:51,318
Well, we started at a four.
852
00:39:51,353 --> 00:39:52,853
- But now?
- An 11.
853
00:39:52,888 --> 00:39:54,287
Definitely an 11.
854
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,560
Ready for that skate?
855
00:40:00,596 --> 00:40:01,596
After you.
856
00:40:32,995 --> 00:40:34,694
- You having fun?
- Yeah.
857
00:40:34,730 --> 00:40:36,730
- Are you?
- It's perfect.
858
00:40:36,765 --> 00:40:40,000
Actually, this isn't
quite your speed, is it?
859
00:40:40,035 --> 00:40:42,202
You used to being out here
with a stick in your hand.
860
00:40:42,271 --> 00:40:43,303
Feels a little wrong.
861
00:40:43,338 --> 00:40:44,104
Right.
862
00:40:44,139 --> 00:40:46,140
Okay.
I'm game.
863
00:40:47,009 --> 00:40:49,442
- Let's go.
- Really?
864
00:40:49,478 --> 00:40:51,778
Come on, coach.
Show me you skill.
865
00:40:57,819 --> 00:41:00,086
So that's pretty much it.
866
00:41:00,122 --> 00:41:02,355
You want to try one?
867
00:41:02,391 --> 00:41:03,391
Sure.
868
00:41:10,532 --> 00:41:11,532
All tied up.
869
00:41:13,268 --> 00:41:14,268
Ambushed.
870
00:41:15,337 --> 00:41:18,471
That changes things for me
a little bit.
871
00:41:22,844 --> 00:41:23,844
Two-one.
872
00:41:25,714 --> 00:41:28,315
Devin was the first freshman
to make varsity.
873
00:41:28,383 --> 00:41:29,950
I am a hockey mom.
874
00:41:32,821 --> 00:41:33,821
Yes!
875
00:41:34,523 --> 00:41:36,056
Two-two.
876
00:41:40,329 --> 00:41:42,062
Looks like
we're a pretty even match.
877
00:41:42,097 --> 00:41:43,097
Tie breaker?
878
00:41:44,533 --> 00:41:45,533
Game on.
879
00:41:50,305 --> 00:41:52,038
- Let's go.
- Okay.
880
00:41:52,074 --> 00:41:53,074
Come on.
881
00:41:54,309 --> 00:41:57,611
So there's this Christmas
caroling event tomorrow.
882
00:41:57,646 --> 00:41:59,546
Would you want to go?
883
00:41:59,581 --> 00:42:00,847
I wish I could.
884
00:42:00,882 --> 00:42:04,150
I'm leaving for Virginia
tomorrow.
885
00:42:04,987 --> 00:42:07,387
- What for?
- I have a job interview.
886
00:42:07,422 --> 00:42:11,458
A history position opened up
at a military school down there.
887
00:42:11,493 --> 00:42:13,294
That's amazing.
Good for you.
888
00:42:13,362 --> 00:42:14,561
We'll see.
889
00:42:14,596 --> 00:42:17,130
I'm not sure
what's gonna come of it.
890
00:42:17,165 --> 00:42:19,532
But hey, I will be back
on Wednesday
891
00:42:19,568 --> 00:42:21,034
if you want to do
something then.
892
00:42:21,069 --> 00:42:22,069
Sure.
893
00:42:23,472 --> 00:42:25,249
Well, why don't you let me do
something for you then.
894
00:42:25,273 --> 00:42:27,774
What was the thing you missed
most when you were overseas?
895
00:42:27,843 --> 00:42:28,843
Food.
896
00:42:29,511 --> 00:42:31,311
Traditional American food.
897
00:42:31,346 --> 00:42:32,779
Like hamburgers?
898
00:42:32,814 --> 00:42:35,382
Yes, and mac and cheese,
and fried chicken,
899
00:42:35,417 --> 00:42:36,983
and Turkey, and everything.
900
00:42:37,019 --> 00:42:41,121
Okay, well, why don't we
make dinner at my place?
901
00:42:41,156 --> 00:42:43,089
- How's Wednesday?
- Seriously?
902
00:42:43,158 --> 00:42:44,224
Yeah.
903
00:42:44,259 --> 00:42:46,527
Yeah, I can't wait.
Thanks.
904
00:42:52,934 --> 00:42:55,535
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I have great news.
905
00:42:55,570 --> 00:42:59,205
Took a little Montgomery magic,
but the owners accepted your offer.
906
00:43:00,208 --> 00:43:01,775
That's great!
907
00:43:01,810 --> 00:43:02,887
Now there's still the cost
of opening the wall,
908
00:43:02,911 --> 00:43:04,911
which they won't cover.
909
00:43:04,946 --> 00:43:06,646
Okay, so what do we do now?
910
00:43:06,682 --> 00:43:07,981
I already called my contractor,
911
00:43:08,016 --> 00:43:10,083
and he's gonna be giving us a bid
this afternoon.
912
00:43:10,118 --> 00:43:13,186
- Luke, you are on it.
- Thanks Pam!
913
00:43:13,221 --> 00:43:14,454
What's all this?
914
00:43:14,489 --> 00:43:17,390
We're starting a donations board
for the Holiday for Heroes event
915
00:43:17,426 --> 00:43:18,703
if you don't mind
spreading the word.
916
00:43:18,727 --> 00:43:19,659
Sure.
917
00:43:19,695 --> 00:43:22,328
How is your helper
working out?
918
00:43:25,967 --> 00:43:29,002
All of my helpers
are working out great.
919
00:43:29,037 --> 00:43:30,570
Thanks.
920
00:43:30,605 --> 00:43:35,175
Well, you have my number,
just in case I can help.
921
00:43:35,210 --> 00:43:36,210
Bye.
922
00:43:37,979 --> 00:43:38,979
Yes!
923
00:43:40,615 --> 00:43:42,482
- Sergeant Evans.
- Commandant.
924
00:43:42,517 --> 00:43:45,185
- So glad you could make it.
- Thank you for inviting me.
925
00:43:45,253 --> 00:43:47,954
- What a beautiful campus you have.
- Yes, it is.
926
00:43:48,023 --> 00:43:50,156
- How you feeling?
- Great.
927
00:43:50,192 --> 00:43:52,959
- Excited for the interview process.
- That's over.
928
00:43:52,994 --> 00:43:54,461
The history faculty
was convinced
929
00:43:54,529 --> 00:43:56,863
form the moment they saw
your resume.
930
00:43:56,898 --> 00:43:58,631
I mean,
you're a decorated soldier
931
00:43:58,667 --> 00:44:02,068
and you finished your education
in the midst of your service.
932
00:44:02,104 --> 00:44:05,605
You're exactly the kind
of role model we want.
933
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,942
Now, I'm ready to offer you the position,
but before you take it,
934
00:44:08,977 --> 00:44:11,544
I want you to really think
about your decision.
935
00:44:11,580 --> 00:44:13,313
I will, and thank you.
936
00:44:13,348 --> 00:44:15,949
Sir, it would be an honor
to be a part of your team.
937
00:44:15,984 --> 00:44:19,352
Well, that's not the decision
I want you to think about, Evans.
938
00:44:19,387 --> 00:44:20,487
Sir?
939
00:44:20,522 --> 00:44:22,622
I spoke with
your company commander,
940
00:44:22,657 --> 00:44:25,358
and he had nothing but great
things to say about you.
941
00:44:25,393 --> 00:44:29,329
He told me you're an excellent
leader, a team player,
942
00:44:29,397 --> 00:44:30,930
and he doesn't want
to lose you.
943
00:44:30,966 --> 00:44:33,967
I'm not telling you to stay
in the army, Matt.
944
00:44:34,002 --> 00:44:36,770
I'm asking you,
before you say yes to this job,
945
00:44:36,805 --> 00:44:37,971
to be certain.
946
00:44:39,374 --> 00:44:42,442
So tell me, are you certain
you're done with the army?
947
00:44:53,988 --> 00:44:55,465
So, we're gonna start decorating
the ballroom
948
00:44:55,489 --> 00:44:56,989
on the morning of the 20th.
949
00:44:57,024 --> 00:44:59,191
That gives us less than a week
to get things organized.
950
00:44:59,260 --> 00:45:01,226
Until then, if you want
to pledge any donations,
951
00:45:01,262 --> 00:45:02,806
feel free to just write them
on the snowflakes
952
00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:04,029
and pin them to the board.
953
00:45:04,064 --> 00:45:05,297
I'm gonna help the kids
954
00:45:05,332 --> 00:45:06,832
build gingerbread houses
at the party.
955
00:45:06,901 --> 00:45:08,411
I think the hotel
has some mini tables in storage
956
00:45:08,435 --> 00:45:09,535
that we can use for that.
957
00:45:09,570 --> 00:45:10,435
Nice!
958
00:45:10,471 --> 00:45:12,671
I'll take photos of the kids.
Ooh, we just need a Santa.
959
00:45:12,706 --> 00:45:15,641
So, let me know if anyone knows
of someone jolly enough for the job.
960
00:45:16,877 --> 00:45:18,410
I'll do the banners
again this year.
961
00:45:20,347 --> 00:45:23,749
- Hey, I think I'll help you with that.
- All right, there you go!
962
00:45:24,685 --> 00:45:26,485
It's gonna be great.
963
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,587
Hey, do you have a minute?
The contractor's here.
964
00:45:28,622 --> 00:45:30,623
- Yeah.
- Great.
965
00:45:31,259 --> 00:45:32,469
But here's where you need
to make a decision.
966
00:45:32,493 --> 00:45:34,994
Now, unfortunately,
this is a load-bearing wall.
967
00:45:35,029 --> 00:45:37,062
It separates this space
from your store.
968
00:45:37,098 --> 00:45:39,398
I can open it up for you,
sure thing.
969
00:45:39,433 --> 00:45:41,166
But it won't be cheap.
970
00:45:42,370 --> 00:45:44,303
Can you give us
an estimate, Pete?
971
00:45:44,338 --> 00:45:47,172
I can put some numbers together
for you.
972
00:45:47,208 --> 00:45:49,509
- Any other questions?
- Yeah.
973
00:45:51,412 --> 00:45:53,078
Have you ever played Santa?
974
00:45:57,518 --> 00:46:00,085
All right, there you go, Don.
Thanks for coming in.
975
00:46:00,121 --> 00:46:02,655
Hey, tell Patricia
I said hi, okay?
976
00:46:04,692 --> 00:46:06,091
I can't believe
you asked him that.
977
00:46:06,126 --> 00:46:07,726
Why?
He's adorable.
978
00:46:07,761 --> 00:46:08,905
And he was thrilled to do it.
979
00:46:08,929 --> 00:46:10,796
You have a one-track mind,
sister.
980
00:46:10,831 --> 00:46:13,632
Pam, we got you a Santa.
981
00:46:14,602 --> 00:46:15,682
It's a Christmas miracle.
982
00:46:17,037 --> 00:46:18,782
Wish he could put
a load-bearing door on his sleigh.
983
00:46:18,806 --> 00:46:19,838
And...
984
00:46:21,141 --> 00:46:22,274
You've got mail.
985
00:46:28,616 --> 00:46:31,049
- Was it from Matt?
- It's the missing letter.
986
00:46:35,923 --> 00:46:38,523
Dear Audrey,
after 20 years in the army,
987
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:41,326
I'm at a place where I have
to make some big decisions.
988
00:46:41,395 --> 00:46:42,873
But you'll never guess
where they're sending me
989
00:46:42,897 --> 00:46:45,063
for my last month
of my enlistment.
990
00:46:45,099 --> 00:46:47,499
Branford, Connecticut.
991
00:46:47,534 --> 00:46:49,534
I'm not sure where life
will take me after that.
992
00:46:49,570 --> 00:46:51,381
I have an interview at
a military school in Virginia
993
00:46:51,405 --> 00:46:53,538
for a teaching position
in the history department.
994
00:46:53,574 --> 00:46:56,008
As you may guess,
that's pretty enticing.
995
00:46:56,076 --> 00:46:59,578
But the army is also pushing
pretty hard for me to reenlist.
996
00:47:00,714 --> 00:47:03,448
I don't know, but I have 30 days
in Branford to make that decision.
997
00:47:03,484 --> 00:47:05,517
And in the meantime,
I'm really looking forward
998
00:47:05,552 --> 00:47:07,319
to meeting you in person,
999
00:47:07,354 --> 00:47:08,354
Matt.
1000
00:47:17,298 --> 00:47:19,432
- Welcome back!
- Merry Christmas.
1001
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,667
What could it be?
1002
00:47:21,702 --> 00:47:23,335
Come inside, come in.
1003
00:47:27,875 --> 00:47:29,875
Thank you.
1004
00:47:29,910 --> 00:47:31,343
Matt.
1005
00:47:31,412 --> 00:47:33,211
I got your letter.
1006
00:47:33,247 --> 00:47:34,880
The lost letter.
1007
00:47:34,915 --> 00:47:36,435
Telling me you were coming
to Branford.
1008
00:47:36,483 --> 00:47:37,516
It came?
1009
00:47:38,652 --> 00:47:41,386
So, you only have 30 days here.
1010
00:47:42,489 --> 00:47:46,558
Even less now, actually.
Why didn't you tell me?
1011
00:47:46,593 --> 00:47:49,728
I don't know.
I should have.
1012
00:47:49,763 --> 00:47:50,763
Sorry.
1013
00:47:51,732 --> 00:47:54,299
It just never felt
like the right time.
1014
00:47:54,335 --> 00:47:57,069
I've just been having
so much fun with you.
1015
00:47:57,104 --> 00:47:58,170
Yeah, me too.
1016
00:48:01,008 --> 00:48:04,710
So tell me about your interview.
I bet they loved you.
1017
00:48:04,745 --> 00:48:06,878
They offered me the job.
1018
00:48:06,947 --> 00:48:08,180
That's great.
1019
00:48:09,383 --> 00:48:11,027
And does the army still
want you to reenlist?
1020
00:48:11,051 --> 00:48:12,250
Yeah.
1021
00:48:12,319 --> 00:48:14,386
I'm getting hit on all sides
with that one.
1022
00:48:14,421 --> 00:48:15,620
You weren't kidding.
1023
00:48:15,656 --> 00:48:18,223
You have a lot of big decisions
to make.
1024
00:48:18,258 --> 00:48:19,658
It's overwhelming.
1025
00:48:19,693 --> 00:48:23,762
Well, what I always do is
make a list of pros and cons.
1026
00:48:23,797 --> 00:48:25,130
I can help you with your list.
1027
00:48:25,199 --> 00:48:26,839
Did you just go into
planning mode for me?
1028
00:48:28,469 --> 00:48:30,969
I guess I can't help myself.
1029
00:48:31,005 --> 00:48:32,304
You know what, Audrey?
1030
00:48:32,373 --> 00:48:34,473
I actually would
really like your help.
1031
00:48:34,508 --> 00:48:36,041
Okay.
1032
00:48:36,110 --> 00:48:39,911
But tonight, I just want to set
that stuff aside and be here with you.
1033
00:48:39,947 --> 00:48:41,013
Is that okay?
1034
00:48:44,084 --> 00:48:46,218
Sorry I didn't say anything.
1035
00:48:49,523 --> 00:48:50,523
Toast?
1036
00:48:52,026 --> 00:48:55,360
To finding our happiness
at Christmas.
1037
00:48:55,396 --> 00:48:56,728
And all year long.
1038
00:49:02,369 --> 00:49:03,835
Okay, now what do you want
to do?
1039
00:49:03,871 --> 00:49:05,281
Do you want to watch
a Christmas movie
1040
00:49:05,305 --> 00:49:07,639
or maybe go out
and take a walk in the snow?
1041
00:49:07,708 --> 00:49:10,375
Actually, Devin said
that I ought to do something,
1042
00:49:10,411 --> 00:49:14,713
and I think I'd like you
to help me if you're up for it.
1043
00:49:14,748 --> 00:49:16,048
Lead the way.
1044
00:49:24,091 --> 00:49:26,491
Bet you didn't know
I was that good with an ax.
1045
00:49:26,527 --> 00:49:27,771
Yeah, you were
like Robert the Bruce
1046
00:49:27,795 --> 00:49:29,895
from the Battle of Bannockburn
out there.
1047
00:49:29,930 --> 00:49:33,099
- I'm guessing that's a good thing.
- It is.
1048
00:49:34,501 --> 00:49:36,379
I can't believe I'm in the
actual barn from the coffee bag.
1049
00:49:36,403 --> 00:49:37,869
Yeah.
1050
00:49:37,905 --> 00:49:39,704
When my great-grandfather
bought this land,
1051
00:49:39,740 --> 00:49:41,673
he couldn't afford to build
a barn and a house,
1052
00:49:41,708 --> 00:49:43,708
so he built the barn first.
1053
00:49:43,744 --> 00:49:45,444
That Christmas,
everyone gathered in here
1054
00:49:45,512 --> 00:49:49,448
and they put up their tree,
and their tradition stuck.
1055
00:49:49,483 --> 00:49:51,083
That's so great.
1056
00:50:01,261 --> 00:50:03,196
Hey.
You okay?
1057
00:50:05,666 --> 00:50:08,066
I'm in here every day
roasting the beans.
1058
00:50:08,102 --> 00:50:11,470
It's just, with the tree
it's different.
1059
00:50:14,541 --> 00:50:19,444
It's the last thing we did
with my parents that night.
1060
00:50:20,614 --> 00:50:22,214
We all decorated
the tree together,
1061
00:50:22,249 --> 00:50:27,119
and I stayed here with Devin,
and they went to a party.
1062
00:50:27,821 --> 00:50:29,121
The weather was nasty.
1063
00:50:29,189 --> 00:50:32,524
There was ice and wind
on these windy roads.
1064
00:50:35,462 --> 00:50:38,230
The other driver
just lost control.
1065
00:50:39,833 --> 00:50:40,833
I'm sorry.
1066
00:50:45,839 --> 00:50:50,041
I thought that I would hate
Christmas after that.
1067
00:50:51,011 --> 00:50:53,545
But I couldn't do that
to Devin.
1068
00:50:53,614 --> 00:50:57,849
So I...
Overdid it every year.
1069
00:50:57,885 --> 00:51:01,686
I wanted to make it
as fun for him as possible.
1070
00:51:03,924 --> 00:51:05,857
But the tree, that's...
1071
00:51:07,461 --> 00:51:09,794
The tree's always really hard.
1072
00:51:10,964 --> 00:51:13,865
That's why I always do it
with Devin.
1073
00:51:15,335 --> 00:51:17,602
Except this year
I don't have his help.
1074
00:51:17,638 --> 00:51:19,538
He's turned the tables on me.
1075
00:51:19,573 --> 00:51:22,007
He wants to make sure
that I still do Christmas
1076
00:51:22,042 --> 00:51:24,176
even though he's not here.
1077
00:51:30,350 --> 00:51:31,917
And I'm honored.
1078
00:51:33,287 --> 00:51:35,120
Where should we put it?
1079
00:51:51,238 --> 00:51:53,638
- You okay that I put that on?
- Of course.
1080
00:51:53,674 --> 00:51:56,741
I'm glad you feel at home.
Comfortable, I mean.
1081
00:52:01,114 --> 00:52:02,114
Come here.
1082
00:52:06,954 --> 00:52:08,486
Happy?
1083
00:52:08,522 --> 00:52:09,588
It's perfect.
1084
00:52:12,726 --> 00:52:13,892
Want to dance?
1085
00:52:24,938 --> 00:52:25,938
Matt.
1086
00:52:28,008 --> 00:52:31,810
- About the job offer.
- Let's not talk about that now.
1087
00:52:33,013 --> 00:52:34,679
I just...
1088
00:52:34,715 --> 00:52:35,780
Want to say...
1089
00:52:37,017 --> 00:52:40,352
If you have to leave,
I'll keep writing you.
1090
00:52:41,688 --> 00:52:42,688
Me too.
1091
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,940
So you bought her
a hockey stick for Christmas?
1092
00:53:01,976 --> 00:53:04,810
Is she still talking to you?
1093
00:53:04,845 --> 00:53:07,446
- She's incredible.
- Well Annette wants to meet her.
1094
00:53:07,481 --> 00:53:08,413
She's been bugging me
to have you over.
1095
00:53:08,449 --> 00:53:09,449
How's Friday?
1096
00:53:09,483 --> 00:53:12,818
I can't Friday.
I got a meeting at the base.
1097
00:53:12,853 --> 00:53:15,254
You know, I took a look
at that new SRB they sent out.
1098
00:53:15,289 --> 00:53:16,700
You thinking about
staying in the army?
1099
00:53:16,724 --> 00:53:17,890
Of course I am.
1100
00:53:17,925 --> 00:53:19,958
That's all I've known,
what I'm good at.
1101
00:53:19,994 --> 00:53:22,105
You take that signing bonus,
that's three more years in,
1102
00:53:22,129 --> 00:53:23,061
first year overseas.
1103
00:53:23,097 --> 00:53:25,063
I know.
I just...
1104
00:53:25,099 --> 00:53:26,431
Want to make
an informed choice.
1105
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:28,511
Hey, Matt, long-distance
relationships are not easy.
1106
00:53:28,535 --> 00:53:30,068
But not impossible.
1107
00:53:30,104 --> 00:53:31,948
That's how Audrey and I started
this whole thing.
1108
00:53:31,972 --> 00:53:33,071
Yeah, sure.
1109
00:53:33,107 --> 00:53:36,041
But things are
different now, right?
1110
00:53:37,344 --> 00:53:39,544
Look, Tom, obviously
I would love to stay here
1111
00:53:39,580 --> 00:53:42,948
and play this out with her,
but I gotta work.
1112
00:53:42,983 --> 00:53:45,417
Right now
I have two great options.
1113
00:53:45,452 --> 00:53:48,353
It's just, unfortunately they're
both taking me down a path
1114
00:53:48,389 --> 00:53:50,055
that's away from her.
1115
00:53:51,492 --> 00:53:54,459
Well maybe there's another path.
1116
00:53:58,999 --> 00:53:59,999
Hold up!
1117
00:54:05,272 --> 00:54:07,039
There's only eight snowflakes
up here.
1118
00:54:07,074 --> 00:54:10,509
Why is it still so empty?
Everyone seemed so excited.
1119
00:54:10,544 --> 00:54:11,843
Give it time.
1120
00:54:14,315 --> 00:54:16,448
Hi ladies.
I have that estimate for you.
1121
00:54:16,517 --> 00:54:18,116
Thank you.
1122
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,752
Is this where you volunteer
1123
00:54:20,788 --> 00:54:22,265
to sign up for the
Holiday for Heroes Party?
1124
00:54:22,289 --> 00:54:23,822
I already signed you up
to be Santa.
1125
00:54:23,857 --> 00:54:25,090
Yes!
1126
00:54:25,125 --> 00:54:28,160
And on top of that,
my wife is making pies.
1127
00:54:28,228 --> 00:54:29,406
She's a middle school teacher,
1128
00:54:29,430 --> 00:54:31,363
and the kids are really excited
to help out.
1129
00:54:31,398 --> 00:54:33,165
Can she make copies of these?
1130
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,800
We'll take all the help
we can get.
1131
00:54:34,835 --> 00:54:36,368
Thanks.
1132
00:54:36,403 --> 00:54:40,405
And let me know if you have
any questions about that bid.
1133
00:54:40,441 --> 00:54:41,673
Bye Santa.
1134
00:54:41,709 --> 00:54:44,476
See?
It is going to happen.
1135
00:54:46,213 --> 00:54:47,546
The party maybe.
1136
00:54:49,116 --> 00:54:50,449
Okay.
1137
00:54:50,484 --> 00:54:52,584
And he even comped
his own labor.
1138
00:54:52,619 --> 00:54:55,153
- It's just so expensive.
- We do have some savings.
1139
00:54:55,189 --> 00:54:58,056
No, our savings are going to the chairs
and the tables at the new space.
1140
00:54:58,092 --> 00:55:00,092
Plus we need
the refrigerated case.
1141
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,728
What's really bothering you?
1142
00:55:04,765 --> 00:55:07,199
What if I'm falling for Matt?
1143
00:55:08,369 --> 00:55:11,136
And he decides to move
to Virginia next month,
1144
00:55:11,171 --> 00:55:12,938
or he gets deployed again?
1145
00:55:12,973 --> 00:55:15,107
Can I tell you what I learned
being married to Keenan?
1146
00:55:15,175 --> 00:55:18,610
- Yes, please.
- You can't live in the what-ifs.
1147
00:55:18,645 --> 00:55:20,846
Instead, I have to live
in the what-I-haves.
1148
00:55:20,881 --> 00:55:23,548
And what I have
is pretty great.
1149
00:55:23,584 --> 00:55:25,350
I have Keenan,
even though he's far away.
1150
00:55:25,419 --> 00:55:28,520
I have Nathan, I have you,
and this shop,
1151
00:55:28,555 --> 00:55:32,190
which is great,
whether we expand it or not.
1152
00:55:32,259 --> 00:55:33,658
And we have...
1153
00:55:33,727 --> 00:55:38,130
Pies, and a really jolly Santa,
and gingerbread houses,
1154
00:55:38,165 --> 00:55:41,633
and a photographer, and help
with set-up and tear-down,
1155
00:55:41,668 --> 00:55:43,735
and something else
I can't read.
1156
00:55:43,771 --> 00:55:47,939
And of course a beautiful venue,
and a few days
1157
00:55:47,975 --> 00:55:50,709
to round up
whatever else we need.
1158
00:55:51,845 --> 00:55:54,613
With Matt,
just enjoy what you have,
1159
00:55:55,649 --> 00:55:57,749
and let it build from there.
1160
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:01,320
Okay.
1161
00:56:06,727 --> 00:56:08,126
You know, there's one task
1162
00:56:08,162 --> 00:56:09,472
that we've been neglecting
for the party.
1163
00:56:09,496 --> 00:56:11,096
Are you serious?
What?
1164
00:56:11,131 --> 00:56:13,165
- The toy soldier routine.
- I don't know.
1165
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,711
All the guys that used to do it
are overseas.
1166
00:56:14,735 --> 00:56:16,268
Everybody seems to love it.
1167
00:56:16,303 --> 00:56:18,904
I'll get guys from the base,
and we'll learn it.
1168
00:56:18,939 --> 00:56:20,372
You're gonna do it?
1169
00:56:20,407 --> 00:56:22,374
Why not?
Is it hard?
1170
00:56:22,443 --> 00:56:23,520
It's like a whole dance thing,
you know?
1171
00:56:23,544 --> 00:56:25,644
Like the tin soldiers.
1172
00:56:25,712 --> 00:56:27,813
Like the robot, like...
1173
00:56:30,818 --> 00:56:31,818
Arms down!
1174
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,353
Those are
some good moves through.
1175
00:56:37,357 --> 00:56:39,491
I think it's our turn.
1176
00:56:45,532 --> 00:56:46,465
Here.
1177
00:56:46,500 --> 00:56:47,532
- Thank you.
- Okay?
1178
00:56:47,568 --> 00:56:48,700
- Yeah.
- There.
1179
00:57:09,423 --> 00:57:11,022
- Hey!
- Hey!
1180
00:57:12,693 --> 00:57:14,593
It's perfect!
1181
00:57:14,628 --> 00:57:15,827
You made this?
1182
00:57:15,896 --> 00:57:17,729
Rosa told me I
needed to paint more.
1183
00:57:17,764 --> 00:57:18,830
I love it.
1184
00:57:18,866 --> 00:57:20,065
Thank you.
1185
00:57:20,134 --> 00:57:22,834
Let's stick it over there.
1186
00:57:22,903 --> 00:57:24,069
Thanks guys!
1187
00:57:31,812 --> 00:57:33,545
- Hey.
- Hi!
1188
00:57:33,580 --> 00:57:36,314
Matt.
You made it.
1189
00:57:36,350 --> 00:57:39,152
- We're just getting started here.
- Great.
1190
00:57:39,953 --> 00:57:41,219
You okay?
1191
00:57:41,255 --> 00:57:42,354
Yeah, yeah.
1192
00:57:43,590 --> 00:57:44,789
Listen.
1193
00:57:44,825 --> 00:57:46,236
- I just had a conversation...
- Audrey.
1194
00:57:46,260 --> 00:57:48,026
I'm so sorry.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
1195
00:57:48,061 --> 00:57:49,828
Of course, Zoe.
What's up?
1196
00:57:49,863 --> 00:57:51,830
Not here.
Can we step outside?
1197
00:57:51,899 --> 00:57:53,031
Okay.
1198
00:57:58,839 --> 00:57:59,839
Hey coach.
1199
00:58:00,941 --> 00:58:02,107
Gentlemen.
1200
00:58:02,176 --> 00:58:04,676
I'm glad to see you're here
giving a hand.
1201
00:58:04,711 --> 00:58:06,055
Coach, what would you say
is the reason
1202
00:58:06,079 --> 00:58:09,414
Hamilton endorsed Jefferson
in the election of 1800?
1203
00:58:09,449 --> 00:58:10,693
Great question,
because Jefferson
1204
00:58:10,717 --> 00:58:12,484
was in the opposing party
as Hamilton, right?
1205
00:58:12,519 --> 00:58:14,452
What was that?
What's going on?
1206
00:58:14,488 --> 00:58:17,255
Guys, I know you're not over here
talking early American politics.
1207
00:58:17,324 --> 00:58:19,324
What's going on?
1208
00:58:19,359 --> 00:58:21,459
Jared and I told the guys
about how you helped us,
1209
00:58:21,495 --> 00:58:23,406
and they wanted to soak up
some of your knowledge
1210
00:58:23,430 --> 00:58:25,630
before our big test coming up.
1211
00:58:25,666 --> 00:58:27,977
Well what do you say we put
a little team study group together?
1212
00:58:28,001 --> 00:58:28,767
That sound good?
1213
00:58:28,802 --> 00:58:29,901
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1214
00:58:29,937 --> 00:58:31,169
All right, we'll do that.
1215
00:58:31,205 --> 00:58:33,338
Hey, can I get
everybody's attention?
1216
00:58:33,373 --> 00:58:34,373
Really fast.
1217
00:58:35,909 --> 00:58:38,076
There's been a bit
of a scheduling mix-up.
1218
00:58:38,111 --> 00:58:41,313
A corporate event
has this space now, so...
1219
00:58:41,348 --> 00:58:42,948
Long story short,
we can't have the room,
1220
00:58:42,983 --> 00:58:44,883
so we have to move out.
1221
00:58:44,918 --> 00:58:47,652
- When?
- Immediately.
1222
00:58:47,688 --> 00:58:50,155
So, if everybody doesn't mind
gathering up their stuff
1223
00:58:50,224 --> 00:58:52,991
and putting it in boxes,
I'll hold onto it
1224
00:58:53,026 --> 00:58:55,193
until we find a new venue.
1225
00:58:57,397 --> 00:58:59,097
Where's Zoe?
I'll talk to her.
1226
00:58:59,132 --> 00:59:02,601
No, she feels awful.
She's practically in tears back there.
1227
00:59:02,636 --> 00:59:06,071
I think tonight
all we can focus on is just
1228
00:59:06,106 --> 00:59:07,106
packing up.
1229
00:59:11,278 --> 00:59:12,244
Thank you so much.
1230
00:59:12,279 --> 00:59:13,945
You can just put it
in the truck.
1231
00:59:14,014 --> 00:59:15,480
I appreciate it.
1232
00:59:15,515 --> 00:59:17,215
Okay, we're good in there.
1233
00:59:17,284 --> 00:59:19,718
Is this the last of it?
1234
00:59:19,753 --> 00:59:20,952
It should be.
1235
00:59:21,922 --> 00:59:23,054
Hey, Audrey.
1236
00:59:24,024 --> 00:59:26,791
For what it's worth,
I think sometimes
1237
00:59:26,827 --> 00:59:29,861
we have to give ourselves
permission to fall back
1238
00:59:29,896 --> 00:59:32,030
and regroup for the next
mission, you know?
1239
00:59:32,099 --> 00:59:34,599
Yeah, but I don't have
anywhere else to go.
1240
00:59:34,635 --> 00:59:37,669
It's so last minute.
I mean, canceling this party twice?
1241
00:59:37,704 --> 00:59:40,673
- That sounds devastating.
- I know.
1242
00:59:41,508 --> 00:59:43,908
But we will find another place.
1243
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:47,880
Thank you.
1244
00:59:50,684 --> 00:59:54,252
What were you trying to tell me
earlier before Zoe walked up?
1245
00:59:54,288 --> 00:59:55,632
No, I'll tell you later.
1246
00:59:55,656 --> 00:59:58,189
It's okay, no, it sounded important.
What was it?
1247
00:59:58,225 --> 00:59:59,702
I just had a meeting
over at the base,
1248
00:59:59,726 --> 01:00:02,093
and they want me to reenlist
for at least
1249
01:00:02,129 --> 01:00:06,665
another three years, because
they want me to be an officer,
1250
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:10,635
and they're gonna pay
for my officer training and...
1251
01:00:10,671 --> 01:00:11,903
It's a big offer.
1252
01:00:15,976 --> 01:00:18,611
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
1253
01:00:24,584 --> 01:00:26,751
Look, why don't I just,
I'll follow you back,
1254
01:00:26,787 --> 01:00:27,964
and we can get
this stuff unloaded.
1255
01:00:27,988 --> 01:00:28,720
You know what,
that's okay, I got it.
1256
01:00:28,755 --> 01:00:30,989
- What, no, no.
- Yeah, I...
1257
01:00:31,024 --> 01:00:35,727
I just want to go home and watch
"it's a wonderful life" and recharge.
1258
01:00:35,762 --> 01:00:37,162
I'll see you later.
1259
01:00:39,299 --> 01:00:40,299
Okay.
1260
01:00:57,319 --> 01:00:59,220
- Devin.
- Hey.
1261
01:00:59,288 --> 01:01:01,221
It's so good to hear your voice.
1262
01:01:01,257 --> 01:01:03,123
What are you up to?
1263
01:01:03,192 --> 01:01:05,459
- I'm in the barn.
- Did you put the tree up yet?
1264
01:01:05,494 --> 01:01:08,495
I did.
Actually, Matt helped me.
1265
01:01:08,564 --> 01:01:09,963
Oh, he did, did he?
1266
01:01:10,032 --> 01:01:12,332
Devin, everything
is going wrong.
1267
01:01:12,368 --> 01:01:16,170
Matt may be reenlisting, we
can't afford to expand the shop,
1268
01:01:16,238 --> 01:01:18,216
we lost our venue for
the Holiday for Heroes Party,
1269
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:20,842
and I have nowhere to put all of
those people at the last minute.
1270
01:01:21,610 --> 01:01:23,177
Are you laughing at me?
1271
01:01:23,245 --> 01:01:24,856
Well I can't help you
with the first two problems,
1272
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,980
but the last one
is pretty simple.
1273
01:01:27,016 --> 01:01:28,182
What do you mean?
1274
01:01:28,217 --> 01:01:32,119
Audrey.
Take a look around you.
1275
01:01:32,188 --> 01:01:33,828
Our family has always
had Christmas there.
1276
01:01:33,856 --> 01:01:36,323
Why not share it
with the community?
1277
01:01:36,358 --> 01:01:40,894
Oh, well Dev, I mean, this is
our special place with mom and dad.
1278
01:01:40,930 --> 01:01:44,131
Letting Matt in
was one thing but...
1279
01:01:44,166 --> 01:01:47,234
What would mom and dad
have done?
1280
01:01:47,269 --> 01:01:51,972
Fill the barn with Christmas,
the way it's supposed to be.
1281
01:01:54,343 --> 01:01:58,045
- I miss you so much.
- I miss you too.
1282
01:01:58,113 --> 01:01:59,813
Good thing I called
to save the day, huh?
1283
01:01:59,882 --> 01:02:00,914
Funny.
1284
01:02:03,519 --> 01:02:06,653
Hey, I just got the time's up
signal, so I gotta go,
1285
01:02:06,689 --> 01:02:09,223
but I'll talk to you again
before Christmas, okay?
1286
01:02:09,258 --> 01:02:10,757
Okay.
I love you.
1287
01:02:10,826 --> 01:02:11,658
Love you too.
1288
01:02:11,694 --> 01:02:13,193
All right, talk soon.
1289
01:02:13,262 --> 01:02:14,262
Bye.
1290
01:02:33,882 --> 01:02:37,117
I'm so glad your barn worked out.
I felt terrible about what happened.
1291
01:02:37,152 --> 01:02:38,919
I'm happy to host.
1292
01:02:38,988 --> 01:02:41,321
Hey.
Luke sent you this.
1293
01:02:41,357 --> 01:02:44,591
- Congratulating you on the expansion.
- That was sweet of him.
1294
01:02:44,627 --> 01:02:46,761
- I'll put it on the counter.
- Thanks.
1295
01:02:47,896 --> 01:02:49,529
All right, let's see.
1296
01:02:50,432 --> 01:02:51,698
Okay.
1297
01:02:51,734 --> 01:02:53,378
This attendance list
just keeps getting longer.
1298
01:02:53,402 --> 01:02:55,636
Almost every family in town
is coming.
1299
01:02:55,671 --> 01:02:59,406
I'm worried we're not gonna have
enough gifts for the kids.
1300
01:02:59,441 --> 01:03:01,353
My favorite part of the night
is watching their sweet faces
1301
01:03:01,377 --> 01:03:03,877
as our Santa gives them
all their presents.
1302
01:03:03,912 --> 01:03:05,746
What happens if we run out?
1303
01:03:05,781 --> 01:03:07,592
We've had collection boxes
in almost every business
1304
01:03:07,616 --> 01:03:10,350
in town, but I think
people are tapped out.
1305
01:03:10,386 --> 01:03:11,386
Right.
1306
01:03:12,955 --> 01:03:15,989
I just wish I had more
to offer them.
1307
01:03:18,093 --> 01:03:19,093
Unless...
1308
01:03:20,129 --> 01:03:22,396
I'm sorry, can you excuse me
for a minute?
1309
01:03:22,431 --> 01:03:24,831
Jade?
Conference room.
1310
01:03:26,468 --> 01:03:29,236
- We could match the donations.
- What, how?
1311
01:03:29,271 --> 01:03:32,973
With the money with saved
for the lease on the space next door.
1312
01:03:33,008 --> 01:03:34,919
It would mean we'd have
to wait longer to expand,
1313
01:03:34,943 --> 01:03:37,044
and we'd probably
lose the space.
1314
01:03:37,079 --> 01:03:40,025
Bu I don't know, I've been thinking
a lot about what you said the other day
1315
01:03:40,049 --> 01:03:42,149
about how we need to focus
on what we do have.
1316
01:03:42,217 --> 01:03:43,950
I totally agree.
1317
01:03:44,019 --> 01:03:45,485
What's a few more months
of us having
1318
01:03:45,521 --> 01:03:47,487
to squeeze ourselves
into this back room
1319
01:03:47,523 --> 01:03:50,357
if it means we get to honor
these families the right way?
1320
01:03:50,392 --> 01:03:52,826
You're the best.
You know that, right?
1321
01:03:52,861 --> 01:03:53,894
I've heard.
1322
01:04:00,035 --> 01:04:01,168
Good job.
1323
01:04:07,509 --> 01:04:10,811
- This is a special place.
- It is, right?
1324
01:04:10,879 --> 01:04:13,413
It's the first place that's felt
like home in a long time.
1325
01:04:13,449 --> 01:04:15,660
I'm guessing that's not just
because of your new running partner.
1326
01:04:15,684 --> 01:04:16,684
He's all right.
1327
01:04:18,487 --> 01:04:23,190
There's something with Audrey,
something I've never felt before.
1328
01:04:24,660 --> 01:04:26,393
I just don't know i
f she feels the same way.
1329
01:04:26,428 --> 01:04:29,396
Well I think
you should ask her.
1330
01:04:30,332 --> 01:04:34,368
Okay, look, the problem is I don't know
if she's into me or this other guy, Luke.
1331
01:04:34,403 --> 01:04:35,836
- Montgomery?
- Yeah.
1332
01:04:35,871 --> 01:04:38,171
From the For-Sale signs?
No, don't worry about that guy.
1333
01:04:38,207 --> 01:04:41,274
- You just, you worry about yourself.
- I'm trying, it's just...
1334
01:04:41,310 --> 01:04:42,721
You know, I get these
two great job offers,
1335
01:04:42,745 --> 01:04:44,711
and my head tells me
that I can't pass those up,
1336
01:04:44,780 --> 01:04:47,948
but yet it feels like
I need to stay here
1337
01:04:50,185 --> 01:04:52,152
and see if something happens
with us.
1338
01:04:55,290 --> 01:04:58,024
I think you should
tell her that.
1339
01:04:58,060 --> 01:04:59,926
I think you're right.
1340
01:05:10,773 --> 01:05:12,472
It's pretty good.
1341
01:05:14,977 --> 01:05:15,776
Let's cheers it.
1342
01:05:15,811 --> 01:05:17,444
Bring it.
Green to green.
1343
01:05:17,479 --> 01:05:18,479
Perfect.
1344
01:05:20,883 --> 01:05:21,883
That one's gross.
1345
01:05:22,985 --> 01:05:24,418
Okay, everybody.
1346
01:05:24,453 --> 01:05:27,387
The top three entries
have now been sampled,
1347
01:05:27,423 --> 01:05:32,025
and it's time for the judges
to submit their final votes.
1348
01:05:37,633 --> 01:05:39,800
- There you go.
- Hey.
1349
01:05:39,868 --> 01:05:41,735
Are we all going out after this?
1350
01:05:41,804 --> 01:05:42,981
I have to talk to you
about something.
1351
01:05:43,005 --> 01:05:44,237
I'm all yours.
1352
01:05:44,273 --> 01:05:46,751
Did you get those flowers I sent?
I am so excited for you guys.
1353
01:05:46,775 --> 01:05:50,010
Yes, that was so,
so sweet of you.
1354
01:05:50,045 --> 01:05:52,813
Actually, that's what I have
to talk to you about.
1355
01:05:52,881 --> 01:05:57,984
And the winner of this year's
Christmas eggnog contest is...
1356
01:05:59,721 --> 01:06:00,821
Carlos Gabon!
1357
01:06:01,623 --> 01:06:02,856
I did it!
1358
01:06:04,026 --> 01:06:05,425
Thank you, thank you.
1359
01:06:05,461 --> 01:06:06,827
I'm the eggnog king!
1360
01:06:08,564 --> 01:06:10,364
Thank you, honey.
Thank you so much.
1361
01:06:19,475 --> 01:06:20,373
Matt!
1362
01:06:20,409 --> 01:06:21,274
- Hey, Pam.
- Can I...
1363
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:24,578
Have you seen Audrey anywhere?
I can't get ahold of her.
1364
01:06:24,613 --> 01:06:25,924
She's judging
the eggnog contest tonight.
1365
01:06:25,948 --> 01:06:26,948
Right.
1366
01:06:31,687 --> 01:06:33,653
Did you know that,
although they taste terrible,
1367
01:06:33,689 --> 01:06:35,789
carnations are entirely edible?
1368
01:06:37,526 --> 01:06:39,826
Where is the eggnog contest?
1369
01:06:39,862 --> 01:06:41,795
Downtown bar and grill.
1370
01:06:41,830 --> 01:06:44,431
Hey, let me get you
a free latte.
1371
01:06:45,367 --> 01:06:46,367
No thanks.
1372
01:06:53,342 --> 01:06:54,342
Matt?
1373
01:07:00,048 --> 01:07:01,916
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
1374
01:07:02,885 --> 01:07:04,484
So what's up?
1375
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:08,655
Jade and I can't afford to lease
the space next to ours right now.
1376
01:07:08,690 --> 01:07:10,657
Is this about
the renovation bid?
1377
01:07:10,692 --> 01:07:14,127
No, that was gonna be
a challenge, but...
1378
01:07:15,597 --> 01:07:18,698
The Holiday for Heroes Party
is really important to us.
1379
01:07:18,767 --> 01:07:22,068
So we've decided to use
our down payment money
1380
01:07:22,104 --> 01:07:24,471
to cover the extra expenses.
1381
01:07:27,576 --> 01:07:29,409
I know, you probably
think we're crazy,
1382
01:07:29,444 --> 01:07:31,711
but we both agree
that the community
1383
01:07:31,780 --> 01:07:33,413
really needs it right now.
1384
01:07:33,448 --> 01:07:35,582
You're an amazing women,
Audrey.
1385
01:07:35,617 --> 01:07:37,250
You know that, right?
1386
01:07:39,354 --> 01:07:42,556
I wish I could hold the building
for you, but it's not my call.
1387
01:07:43,592 --> 01:07:45,525
Are you sure about this?
1388
01:07:47,095 --> 01:07:48,095
I am.
1389
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:53,234
Okay.
1390
01:08:02,678 --> 01:08:04,644
To what might have been.
1391
01:08:05,414 --> 01:08:07,547
What might have been.
1392
01:08:17,859 --> 01:08:20,260
Don's meats is donating pigs
in a blanket, 500 of them.
1393
01:08:20,295 --> 01:08:22,862
Look at all these snowflakes.
It's like a blizzard in here.
1394
01:08:22,898 --> 01:08:24,631
How did this happen?
1395
01:08:24,666 --> 01:08:26,800
Apparently Luke
told his colleagues
1396
01:08:26,868 --> 01:08:29,903
about the wonderful sacrifice
his client was making
1397
01:08:29,972 --> 01:08:34,374
for the military families and
that they should help out too.
1398
01:08:34,409 --> 01:08:37,010
Well that was very nice of him.
1399
01:08:40,282 --> 01:08:42,082
This one's new.
1400
01:08:42,117 --> 01:08:43,717
Matt put it up a while ago.
1401
01:08:43,752 --> 01:08:46,753
It got moved around
when you put the new sign up.
1402
01:08:46,788 --> 01:08:50,557
You haven't seen much
of each other since then.
1403
01:08:50,592 --> 01:08:53,126
Not at all, actually.
1404
01:08:53,161 --> 01:08:55,295
Jade, I don't know
what to say to him.
1405
01:08:55,330 --> 01:08:57,697
It's okay to tell him
what you want.
1406
01:08:57,733 --> 01:08:59,966
He hasn't told me
how he feels.
1407
01:09:00,002 --> 01:09:03,269
Well what's important
is how you feel.
1408
01:09:05,574 --> 01:09:06,706
I adore him.
1409
01:09:07,876 --> 01:09:11,077
- Then why haven't you told him that?
- Because it's scary.
1410
01:09:11,113 --> 01:09:12,178
Yes, it is.
1411
01:09:16,785 --> 01:09:20,420
- But I can be brave.
- Yes, you can.
1412
01:09:28,330 --> 01:09:29,396
Matt.
1413
01:09:29,431 --> 01:09:30,163
Matt Evans.
1414
01:09:30,198 --> 01:09:31,398
Meredith Franklin.
1415
01:09:31,433 --> 01:09:33,845
It's the principal of the school.
Her son Jared's on the team.
1416
01:09:33,869 --> 01:09:36,436
Of course.
Nice to meet you.
1417
01:09:36,471 --> 01:09:38,549
Jared tells me you helped him
with his history paper.
1418
01:09:38,573 --> 01:09:39,739
A little bit.
1419
01:09:39,775 --> 01:09:41,541
He and Nathan were struggling
in that class.
1420
01:09:41,576 --> 01:09:43,421
To their credit, they came by
and asked for help.
1421
01:09:43,445 --> 01:09:45,912
So we stayed after practice
and worked on their papers.
1422
01:09:45,947 --> 01:09:49,649
And when he finished, you
read it and gave him feedback?
1423
01:09:49,685 --> 01:09:52,419
On Jared's, yes,
he asked me to.
1424
01:09:55,524 --> 01:09:57,490
My son has never gotten an a
in his life,
1425
01:09:57,526 --> 01:09:59,459
and definitely not in history.
1426
01:09:59,494 --> 01:10:02,362
Good for him.
Obviously he has it in him.
1427
01:10:02,397 --> 01:10:04,664
The boys work hard for Matt
on the ice too.
1428
01:10:04,700 --> 01:10:07,333
He's good with them.
He's tough, but he's kind.
1429
01:10:07,402 --> 01:10:09,936
We're in good shape this season.
1430
01:10:10,005 --> 01:10:13,373
- Sorry, did I do something wrong?
- Quite the opposite, Mr. Evans.
1431
01:10:13,442 --> 01:10:15,341
Coach Daniels tells me
you've been offered a job
1432
01:10:15,410 --> 01:10:18,812
at some other school, but
he'd prefer to keep you here.
1433
01:10:18,847 --> 01:10:20,213
Oh, he would, would he?
1434
01:10:20,282 --> 01:10:23,850
If you're interested, come
by my office sometime soon.
1435
01:10:23,885 --> 01:10:26,720
I'm sure there's something
we can work out.
1436
01:10:26,788 --> 01:10:28,321
I will, thank you.
1437
01:10:29,991 --> 01:10:30,991
Thanks.
1438
01:10:33,895 --> 01:10:36,796
- Looks like you got another offer.
- Thanks for doing that.
1439
01:10:36,832 --> 01:10:39,866
Well, maybe you can see things
through with Audrey now.
1440
01:10:39,901 --> 01:10:41,501
She's not interested, Tom.
1441
01:10:41,536 --> 01:10:43,970
You saw her talking to another guy.
What's the big deal?
1442
01:10:44,005 --> 01:10:45,271
It's more than that.
1443
01:10:45,307 --> 01:10:48,041
I haven't seen her
since the night of the borrow.
1444
01:10:48,076 --> 01:10:49,654
You told her you might be
shipping of for three years.
1445
01:10:49,678 --> 01:10:51,144
What kind of message
did that send?
1446
01:10:51,179 --> 01:10:54,214
I got a text that said,
"sorry I'm so busy".
1447
01:10:54,249 --> 01:10:56,316
Come on, I can read
between the lines.
1448
01:10:56,351 --> 01:10:57,784
Matt!
1449
01:10:57,819 --> 01:11:00,954
Don't make tactical decisions
based on hearsay.
1450
01:11:01,022 --> 01:11:04,124
First get your intel correct,
soldier.
1451
01:11:11,666 --> 01:11:14,234
Over there is perfect.
1452
01:11:14,269 --> 01:11:16,069
Can you believe
all the help we're getting?
1453
01:11:16,104 --> 01:11:17,303
It's so inspiring.
1454
01:11:17,339 --> 01:11:19,472
I can't believe it.
It's all coming together!
1455
01:11:19,508 --> 01:11:21,207
Hey, you haven't seen
Matt yet, have you?
1456
01:11:21,243 --> 01:11:23,510
No, and you just asked me
10 minutes ago.
1457
01:11:23,545 --> 01:11:24,911
Did he say he was coming?
1458
01:11:24,980 --> 01:11:28,948
Well, I texted him the info,
but he didn't reply.
1459
01:11:28,984 --> 01:11:31,851
You need
a more direct approach.
1460
01:11:31,887 --> 01:11:33,920
What are you doing?
1461
01:11:33,955 --> 01:11:34,955
Jade?
1462
01:11:36,258 --> 01:11:37,258
Jade!
1463
01:11:38,093 --> 01:11:39,492
He's responding!
1464
01:11:40,796 --> 01:11:42,262
I need to talk to you too.
1465
01:11:42,297 --> 01:11:44,898
I can meet you there in 15.
1466
01:11:44,933 --> 01:11:47,467
I can hold down the fort here.
1467
01:12:13,728 --> 01:12:15,261
Hey there.
1468
01:12:15,297 --> 01:12:16,297
Hi.
1469
01:12:22,204 --> 01:12:24,971
I'm sorry that I haven't been
in touch lately.
1470
01:12:25,006 --> 01:12:26,006
I just...
1471
01:12:26,975 --> 01:12:28,408
When I heard
you were leaving town,
1472
01:12:28,443 --> 01:12:30,543
I guess I was just trying
to protect myself.
1473
01:12:30,579 --> 01:12:31,579
I get it.
1474
01:12:33,148 --> 01:12:34,447
Audrey, listen.
1475
01:12:35,717 --> 01:12:37,250
Look, if I'm not...
1476
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,454
If you're interested in somebody
else, you can just tell me.
1477
01:12:41,489 --> 01:12:43,089
Who else would I be
interested in?
1478
01:12:43,124 --> 01:12:45,391
Well I saw you at the bar
with Luke the other night.
1479
01:12:45,460 --> 01:12:47,493
He's my realtor, Matt.
1480
01:12:47,562 --> 01:12:50,530
It's obvious he wants to be
a lot more than that.
1481
01:12:50,565 --> 01:12:53,833
Luke is a really nice guy,
but he's not for me.
1482
01:12:53,869 --> 01:12:55,829
I mean, he spends more time
on his hair than I do.
1483
01:12:57,505 --> 01:12:59,939
And he certainly wouldn't do
the robot in public.
1484
01:12:59,975 --> 01:13:02,242
Matt, we weren't on a date.
1485
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:09,983
Can we start this over?
1486
01:13:10,051 --> 01:13:12,086
- Yes, please.
- Great.
1487
01:13:13,655 --> 01:13:14,988
Hey.
1488
01:13:15,023 --> 01:13:16,256
- I'm Matt.
- Hi.
1489
01:13:16,291 --> 01:13:17,401
We've been writing
letters together all year.
1490
01:13:17,425 --> 01:13:19,259
Okay.
We're going that far back.
1491
01:13:19,294 --> 01:13:20,760
- Yeah, why not?
- Okay.
1492
01:13:20,795 --> 01:13:25,598
- Well, Matt, it's nice to finally meet you.
- Nice to finally meet you too.
1493
01:13:25,634 --> 01:13:27,700
- Would you like a coffee?
- Great.
1494
01:13:27,736 --> 01:13:29,135
Okay.
1495
01:13:31,006 --> 01:13:34,007
You know, those letters
really got me through,
1496
01:13:34,042 --> 01:13:37,944
made me feel like I had someone
to come home to.
1497
01:13:39,147 --> 01:13:40,147
Audrey.
1498
01:13:44,986 --> 01:13:48,087
I thought about you every day.
1499
01:13:48,123 --> 01:13:49,822
- And now...
- No, wait.
1500
01:13:57,732 --> 01:13:59,165
I have to say this.
1501
01:14:01,736 --> 01:14:03,970
Matt, I love talking with you,
1502
01:14:05,473 --> 01:14:09,475
and dancing with you,
and making s'mores with you.
1503
01:14:10,779 --> 01:14:14,681
And I would really love
to spend Christmas with you.
1504
01:14:15,583 --> 01:14:21,487
But I can't ask you to stay.
You have to decide that for yourself.
1505
01:14:22,958 --> 01:14:25,258
But I can tell you how I feel.
1506
01:14:26,294 --> 01:14:28,328
And I am falling for you.
1507
01:14:48,683 --> 01:14:52,418
It's Christmas every
month of the year.
1508
01:14:52,454 --> 01:14:53,786
They're beautiful.
1509
01:14:54,923 --> 01:14:58,291
When I was overseas,
you were my angel.
1510
01:15:03,231 --> 01:15:04,597
And you still are.
1511
01:15:06,868 --> 01:15:08,245
Audrey, you don't have
to ask me to stay,
1512
01:15:08,269 --> 01:15:10,703
because I've already
decided to stay.
1513
01:15:10,739 --> 01:15:12,672
Because I met this girl.
1514
01:15:14,275 --> 01:15:17,076
And there's no way I can leave
1515
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:19,012
without giving it a chance.
1516
01:15:19,047 --> 01:15:21,881
Life is full
of little surprises.
1517
01:15:23,651 --> 01:15:26,452
And I have a couple more.
1518
01:15:26,488 --> 01:15:27,620
I gotta go.
1519
01:15:27,655 --> 01:15:29,555
You're leaving?
1520
01:15:29,591 --> 01:15:32,492
I will see you at the party.
1521
01:15:33,695 --> 01:15:34,727
Wait!
1522
01:15:34,763 --> 01:15:36,729
Can I at least get a hint?
1523
01:15:36,765 --> 01:15:37,765
Nope.
1524
01:15:52,149 --> 01:15:53,448
This is so exciting!
1525
01:15:53,483 --> 01:15:54,749
Why are we here?
1526
01:15:54,785 --> 01:15:56,296
Mysterious meetings
in the middle of the night.
1527
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,153
- What's this all about?
- I don't know.
1528
01:15:58,188 --> 01:16:01,289
- But why is it a secret?
- Is it some kind of town emergency?
1529
01:16:01,325 --> 01:16:03,158
Why did you call this meeting?
1530
01:16:03,193 --> 01:16:05,660
Well, I didn't call
this meeting.
1531
01:16:05,696 --> 01:16:08,930
- Who did?
- My new friend, Matt.
1532
01:16:08,966 --> 01:16:10,332
Thanks, Luke.
1533
01:16:10,367 --> 01:16:13,001
I wanted to ask all of you
for your help.
1534
01:16:13,036 --> 01:16:14,569
Okay.
1535
01:16:24,014 --> 01:16:25,247
Hey, come here.
1536
01:16:25,282 --> 01:16:27,215
- How you doing?
- Good.
1537
01:16:27,284 --> 01:16:28,428
What would you like
for Christmas?
1538
01:16:28,452 --> 01:16:31,086
I would like
a half pony and half unicorn.
1539
01:16:32,089 --> 01:16:33,421
Okay.
1540
01:16:33,490 --> 01:16:36,725
- Let's take a picture on that.
- Say cheese.
1541
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,226
Merry Christmas.
1542
01:16:38,262 --> 01:16:39,828
Thank you.
1543
01:16:39,863 --> 01:16:41,329
Hey, buddy.
1544
01:16:41,365 --> 01:16:42,530
So gorgeous.
1545
01:16:49,273 --> 01:16:51,506
So did you all try the tamales?
1546
01:16:51,575 --> 01:16:53,775
Thank you.
Merry Christmas.
1547
01:16:55,679 --> 01:16:58,280
It looks great in here, right?
1548
01:16:58,315 --> 01:17:00,882
But seriously, I mean,
you're not gonna believe me,
1549
01:17:00,918 --> 01:17:03,518
but December
is the month to buy.
1550
01:17:21,939 --> 01:17:23,972
Congratulations, partner.
1551
01:17:25,375 --> 01:17:28,710
- We know how to throw a party.
- We really do.
1552
01:17:29,913 --> 01:17:32,447
I just wish they could all
be here to see it.
1553
01:17:32,482 --> 01:17:34,683
We'll send them
lots of pictures.
1554
01:17:34,751 --> 01:17:35,951
Okay.
1555
01:17:35,986 --> 01:17:40,221
- I am finally ready to enjoy myself.
- This I have to see!
1556
01:17:45,562 --> 01:17:48,496
- You look great.
- You look great.
1557
01:17:49,299 --> 01:17:50,765
So does the barn.
1558
01:17:53,537 --> 01:17:55,870
- What are you up to?
- What do you mean?
1559
01:17:55,906 --> 01:17:57,305
Matt Evans.
1560
01:17:57,341 --> 01:18:00,709
Would you let me embarrass you
for a minute?
1561
01:18:01,979 --> 01:18:02,979
What?
1562
01:18:05,382 --> 01:18:08,783
Can I get
everybody's attention please?
1563
01:18:16,860 --> 01:18:18,193
Welcome, everyone.
1564
01:18:19,396 --> 01:18:23,698
This is my first year being a part
of the Holiday for Heroes Party.
1565
01:18:23,734 --> 01:18:27,268
While we will still have a lot
of your favorite moments,
1566
01:18:27,304 --> 01:18:30,372
we decided to flip the script
a little bit this year.
1567
01:18:30,407 --> 01:18:32,974
Now, we all know Audrey Brown.
1568
01:18:41,218 --> 01:18:44,586
Who works so hard every year
on this party.
1569
01:18:46,356 --> 01:18:51,226
You know, usually she's up here,
giving a beautiful tribute
1570
01:18:52,696 --> 01:18:55,296
to those whore are serving
in the armed forces.
1571
01:18:55,332 --> 01:18:57,932
Today I stand here
as one of those soldiers
1572
01:18:58,001 --> 01:19:00,001
to give a tribute to her.
1573
01:19:01,838 --> 01:19:04,773
Audrey, you have
such a giving heart.
1574
01:19:04,841 --> 01:19:09,511
You go above and beyond to
make things special for others.
1575
01:19:10,747 --> 01:19:14,115
We all know it,
and we all wanted to say it.
1576
01:19:17,387 --> 01:19:21,389
These are cards thanking you
for everything
1577
01:19:21,458 --> 01:19:25,093
that you do for us at christmastime
and throughout the year.
1578
01:19:25,128 --> 01:19:26,761
But that's not all.
1579
01:19:26,830 --> 01:19:29,364
We also have something else
we want to give you.
1580
01:19:29,433 --> 01:19:31,666
In case you hadn't heard,
Audrey and Jade
1581
01:19:31,735 --> 01:19:34,702
put their dream on hold
so we could be together tonight.
1582
01:19:34,738 --> 01:19:38,139
They used their savings to cover
the extra costs of this party.
1583
01:19:38,175 --> 01:19:42,644
You have both taken care of all of us
over the years in different ways.
1584
01:19:42,679 --> 01:19:46,648
And so now it's our turn
to take care of you.
1585
01:19:46,716 --> 01:19:51,553
We present to you the newly
expanded A&J's coffee shop.
1586
01:20:03,366 --> 01:20:05,300
The town pitched in
to cover the renovation
1587
01:20:05,335 --> 01:20:07,902
and the first year
of the extra lease.
1588
01:20:07,938 --> 01:20:09,904
I can't thank you all enough.
1589
01:20:09,940 --> 01:20:11,906
You have no idea
how much this means to us.
1590
01:20:11,975 --> 01:20:13,908
We love you, Branford!
1591
01:20:18,515 --> 01:20:21,316
Now let's get back to some of our
favorite holiday traditions.
1592
01:20:21,351 --> 01:20:25,019
Ladies and gentlemen,
march of the toy soldiers!
1593
01:21:28,985 --> 01:21:30,385
Devin!
1594
01:21:36,126 --> 01:21:38,059
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome home
1595
01:21:38,094 --> 01:21:44,098
the entire 192nd Infantry Battalion
of the Connecticut National Guard.
1596
01:21:59,616 --> 01:22:01,149
Why didn't you tell me?
1597
01:22:01,184 --> 01:22:03,084
I was going to, but
since you love surprises,
1598
01:22:03,119 --> 01:22:06,254
Matt and I decided it would be
a lot more fun this way.
1599
01:22:06,289 --> 01:22:07,021
Well done.
1600
01:22:07,057 --> 01:22:10,024
Great homecoming top.
Thanks for putting it together.
1601
01:22:10,093 --> 01:22:11,726
I can't believe it!
1602
01:22:14,531 --> 01:22:17,131
You've made this
the best Christmas
1603
01:22:17,167 --> 01:22:19,467
I could ever possible imagine.
1604
01:22:49,599 --> 01:22:53,001
- I can't believe you did all this.
- You deserve it.
1605
01:22:54,571 --> 01:23:00,341
- I do have one more tiny surprise.
- Okay, now you're just spoiling me.
1606
01:23:00,377 --> 01:23:02,243
I just took a job
teaching at the high school.
1607
01:23:02,279 --> 01:23:04,078
In Branford?
1608
01:23:04,114 --> 01:23:05,847
I'm staying here.
1609
01:23:07,150 --> 01:23:10,550
But you can write me
a love letter anytime.
1610
01:23:13,551 --> 01:23:19,550
