Original subtitles

Seriously, how do they get tangled inside the box?

Did the movers shake it up like a snow globe?

Thank you, Boop.

High-five. Thank you.

Lights. We're gonna write lights.

Lights, right here, you see that? Lights.

Morning! I can't find a match for any of my work socks.

What are you doing?

You know, I may or may not have started to unpack

the Christmas decorations and by may, I mean, I am.

- You are. - Don't worry.

- I got you covered. - What's that?

This is an early Christmas gift

for your official first day as the Chief of Cardiac Surgery.

I designed them online and then I had them printed.

Are you kidding me? The hearts!

These are perfect! You're amazing.

I love them and I love you. Thank you.

Hey, what time will you be home?

We have to get a Christmas tree.

I don't know, but also, Little Miss Eager,

three weeks 'til Christmas. Plenty of time to get a tree,

- decorate it... - I know, I just want this place

- to feel like a home. - You know what?

This apartment could be empty and feel like home to me.

Why? Because you're here, Cooper's here,

my family's around the corner.

How's your mom? You heard from your mom?

Uh, she's still on a river cruise with number four,

aka, Steve number two.

I thought there were three Steves.

No, she doesn't count the bald one.

Well, that's cruel. Okay, I love you.

Hey, um...

Do you want me to walk you to the hospital?

And we could grab morning coffee

like we used to do during your residency?

Yeah, I gotta tell you, I would love that, but I can't.

I gotta go in early and meet the board.

Right, okay. Well, I'll just stay here

and continue unpacking,

and hopefully, find your socks.

Hey, Erin. I know.

You're disappointed we had to leave Boston

before this year's charity gala.

But it's in good hands...

Oh, it's in great hands. It's...

Just not in my hands.

Right.

20 second hug?

Oh.

There it is.

You know what? You can just get involved

in the gala they're throwing here.

Oh, I already have a meeting this afternoon

with the head of the foundation.

- Oh, yeah? - Vivienne Vandershall.

- Oh, my. - By side note,

if I had that name, I would monogram everything.

Double Vs! Well, she'll be thrilled

to have someone with your background.

- Thanks for the socks! - You're welcome!

I love you!

It is so impressive

what your foundation accomplished in Boston.

Thank you.

We raised enough money

to fund 62 pro bono cardiac surgeries

last year alone. We had families coming in

from all over the country.

And, well, we would love to do that here at Bowman.

Didn't Dr. Connolly tell you?

We already have a non-profit set up for pro bono surgeries.

The Lodington Foundation.

I'm the director.

That's great. I... Adam forgot to mention that.

But, you know, I really understand

everything that goes into coordinating this, you know?

The family intake, the donor relations,

the event planning.

In fact, I spearheaded

our biggest charity event last year,

the Christmas Eve Gala.

Oh! We have a Christmas Gala too,

going on ten years now.

You and Dr. Connolly are invited, of course.

Oh! Well, thank you very much.

But I... I'd love to get involved

as more than just a guest.

Well, that's very generous of you,

but I don't really know what else we'd need.

Considering we're only three weeks out!

I mean, to be honest,

my biggest worry right now is what to wear!

Well, I used to help some of our donors

pick out their gowns.

I could do that for you if you want?

Thank you, but I have a stylist

who would kill me if I cheated on her.

But, you know, if you love clothes,

I just thought of a way that you might help

the night of the gala.

I'm in! What is it?

We still need help with the coat check.

Listen, it is a really important job, actually.

Last year, somebody walked off with a Max Mara

that wasn't theirs, and well...

You can imagine!

Well, say no more, coat check it is.

Wonderful.

Oh, listen, I've got to run,

but it is such a pleasure to finally meet you.

I'll see you soon.

Bye, thank you.

Hey, look, I'm sorry. All the tree lots being closed

by the time I get off work, classic.

You know what we could do? We could stop by the bodega,

- get a little small one. - No, the last time

we got a small tree, Cooper tried to carry it around

like it was a giant stick!

He was adorable!

I thought that you were gonna have more control

over your schedule now that you're the fancy, in-charge guy?

That's what I thought. But I guess you and I

should know that when it comes to surgery,

regular hours are theoretical.

I know, you're right. I guess it just felt different

- when I was busy. - I know that.

You've done so much to get us here,

you've sacrificed so much. What do you want to do?

Well, what I was doing before we moved here.

Right, well, you can't. At least, not yet.

Know what you could try?

No, don't tell me to get a hobby.

I wasn't gonna say get a hobby like needlepoint.

Um, look, it's just...

You know, I want you to enjoy this.

This should feel like the top of the mountain.

Yeah, well, it feels like your mountain.

Hey! Coffee shop's still here. Let's go in.

Okay. Do you want the usual?

Hi. What can I get you?

Wait, you really remember?

Of course, I remember.

Oh!

Dark chocolate base, cayenne, crushed espresso beans,

salted caramel drizzle,

and two giant marshmallows on the side.

- Wow. - Mm-hmm.

Props. Here you go.

Oh, wow!

- Ah. - There it is!

- My fee. - That's it.

History was made here. 25 years ago.

- It's true. - In this very spot.

- I stood here... - Right there.

And this total stranger comes up,

taps me on the shoulder, and says, "Do you trust me?"

And he said...

"I don't even know you."

And then I said, "I'm Erin."

- And the rest is history. - Yeah.

- Here we are. - Yeah.

And we call this the Franken-cocoa.

That's right, the Franken-cocoa.

So, um... Do you remember mine?

Yeah.

Oh! Right. So, she'll have, um...

The lady will have, uh...

Don't, don't, don't...

Don't help me, I got this, it's, uh...

- I want to say butterscotch... - No, no, it's...

It's okay, I gotcha.

- Okay. - Uh...

- Milk chocolate base. - Right...

Right? And toasted marshmallow.

- Yes. - Peppermint sprinkles.

- Right. - And a cinnamon stick.

- Cinnamon stick. - That's right.

So the lady will have... what she just said.

Thank you. Sure.

I really hope I get this place unpacked by Christmas.

Yeah. Yeah, no rush.

You know, as long as we have enough room for everyone

for tomorrow night.

- What? - For the happy hour.

What happy hour?

Well, the... Wait.

My dad, the family wants to throw us

a little housewarming happy hour.

It's in the group chat.

Oh, did I not add you to the group chat?

- Mm-mm. - No, I didn't. That's my bad.

Adding you now.

There you go.

- Oh. - Oh! That's the group chat.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Oh, look at your dad,

he still signs his texts, "Love, Dad."

- Sweet. - So sweet.

- So is it okay? - Yeah!

Yeah, great. I need to get out of this suit.

- Hi! - Hi!

Oh, I can't believe you took the first train

- from Boston here. - Of course!

Anything for my "beef"!

- Short for BFF. - Oh.

I thought we settled on "bi-fee-fee"?

Oh, honey, no. Let's agree to disagree on that.

Sorry, just confirming an appointment for later.

Oh, I see. You were already coming to the city, weren't you?

Okay, yes! But I would've come for you anyway.

See, this is why you are on the best of everything list.

Yeah, well, if you hadn't taken a chance

and hired me to cater that hospital gala

all those years ago, I probably would still be

cooking for a delivery service.

Well, listen, when you started making seven-course meals

out of our dorm on a hot plate with mac and cheese mix,

I knew you were going places.

So how's our gala?

Or the gala formerly known as ours?

- It's going great. - Hmm? Hmm.

Hmm... I know it's hard, but you should be proud

you built something so solid, E.

It's living on after you're gone, that's your legacy.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, I did see a cute little Christmas market

on my way up here.

What do you say about a little sip and shop?

Oh. I can sip and shop.

Ah, adorable.

Ah! See, we don't need to Christmas shop anywhere else,

- this is perfect! - So cute.

Oh!

Hey. Do you still need a dress for the Christmas Gala?

Why do you ask?

Because left to your own devices,

you would wear a chef's coat.

Hey. It would be a chiffon chef's coat.

Okay, wise guy.

Let's see. Oh, oh!

This colour, ah!

This would look beautiful on you.

You think so?

Who am I kidding? You're always right about this stuff.

Alright. Hey, what are you wearing to the Bowman Gala?

A name tag.

Huh.

It's very special, isn't it? It's one of a kind.

My husband is a cardiac surgeon.

He would love this.

Oh, it's a little out of my price range.

Can't put a price on matters of the heart.

It's beautiful.

This is a Margot Braymire!

You've got a good eye.

Well, I studied her in college.

Oh, are you in the fashion industry?

No, I decided to do something else.

But her work is so beautiful and detailed.

I wanted to be her.

- Okay! Kinda love this! - Ooh.

I did not think this would look good on me,

but I think Kevin might faint when he sees me in this.

You know, which is fine, because we'll be in

- a room full of doctors. - Ah.

See, you never know until you try.

Well, looks like somebody else should be taking that advice.

What do you mean?

E, people would kill for the chance

to move somewhere new and reinvent themselves!

Now you're kinda being forced to.

You know, you're not tied to Adam's job anymore,

you could do something new.

Or something that you used to love to do

before you met Adam.

Oh, it's way too late for that.

It's never too late.

- Except for me, I need my jacket. - Yeah, it's cold.

Oh, I really didn't want anyone to come here

until this place was unpacked.

Why do you think you can stop this freight train of a family?

Hmm. Choo-choo!

Okay.

Oh, wow. That's amazing!

- Where do you want it? - Oh! Yeah, right over there.

- Hello! - Hi, Aunty Erin!

Oh, gosh. Have you gotten taller since Thanksgiving?

I'm a teenager, that's sort of our thing.

Maya, can we not with the sass?

- Aunty Erin, was that sass? - It was, like, sass-adjacent.

Isaac sends his love, he's still in Korea for work.

- Well, tell him I said hi. - So, what do you think?

Good tree, right?

I got them to throw in a wreath, gratis.

- Oh, great! Great, great. - Bill, it's perfect, thank you.

We just want you to feel at home

so that you two will never move away again...

- Aw. - Ever, so...

You don't have to worry, Dad. We're not going anywhere.

Good.

That's, uh...

You know what? Hold on.

Oh, the super gave me a head's up.

I'm sorry I didn't get to cook for you guys.

I didn't unpack the kitchen yet.

No, it's great. Gives us a chance

to try all the Chinese places in the new neighborhood.

It's a good start.

Oh, here we go, yup.

This one is from first year residency.

Oh, so much snow.

So much snow.

Ah! That's Vienna.

Well, I saw Vienna.

You saw the inside of a Mariott.

That is true.

Well, it was worth it, wasn't it? Look at you now.

Absolutely worth it.

Oh, so Rico and Evelyn gave us yet another Santa mug.

Every year, the Garcia family has with Rico is because of him.

No, it's also because of Erin.

She's the one who got them to me.

You know what we should do?

We should stop by the Christmas market and visit their booth.

Great idea.

Erin, Adam tells us that you're jumping in

to help a Bowman.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm trying.

Um, you know what, I'm gonna get some more cookies?

You know, I think I'm gonna give Cooper a walk.

Oh, great, thanks Dad.

Erin...

He wouldn't be here without you.

You know that, right?

I just don't think I can make a difference here.

You'll find your purpose.

You always do.

Auntie Erin, do you have a sweater I could borrow?

I'm freezing.

Yes, come on.

Let's see what I have hidden away.

- Try that on, hold that up. - Oh my gosh.

That's gonna look so good. Oh!

I'm would have the perfect shirt for this.

You can wear that with anything.

You could put that over a cute black dress.

Oh wow, I have not seen that in forever.

- That's so many sequins. - That is a lot of sequins.

This would be so cute.

Gold. Oh wow, polka dots.

My goodness.

What's this?

Oh wow, I haven't seen that in years.

These are amazing.

Did you draw these?

Well, I did. A long time ago.

But... This isn't even in fashion anymore.

Everything comes back around eventually.

Umm, can I borrow some of these for tomorrow?

I'm meeting up with some friends in Chelsea and I would just...

Wait.

I thought your mom said you were studying

for the SAT this weekend.

Ah. Why bother?

I don't even think I'm gonna go to college anyway, so...

Maya...

Maya.

I know you think you know what you want,

but that could change.

Don't block your path before you even get there.

I'll tell you what.

You can borrow any of this stuff

after you take the SAT.

Fine.

But only because this stuff is fire, okay?

Oh, bye Mom.

Thank you for that.

She needed to hear it from someone

other than her mom.

Any time Nat, I mean that.

Let's go join the others.

Yes.

Your family is so happy to have you living

near them again.

Honestly, actually I think they're just happy

that you're close to them.

And Cooper.

Me, they could take or leave.

Well, at least you have your super fans at the hospital.

I have super fans?

Oh yeah.

When I left my meeting the other day,

you had a crowd around you like Doctor Paparazzi.

Ah.

I'm proud of you.

And I hope that I can make a difference in this town, too.

You will.

Of course you will.

Honey, just like Boston.

It's just gonna take a little bit of time.

You know?

The people here are gonna love you every inch

as much as Cooper and I do.

Cooper.

Oh, I forgot to get dog food for the morning.

No, no, it's okay.

I'll go.

- Really? - Yeah.

You've been working hard, you just rest.

You relax.

Thank you, my dear.

What do you want for Christmas?

Um... I... I'm fine.

That's not what I asked.

I guess...

Sometimes I wonder what my life would have looked like

if I had chosen a different path.

Merry Christmas.

Whoa.

Whoa.

This is incredible!

Wow, no hair.

This is amazing.

Look at all my shoes.

Oh my gosh.

Look at...

That's my name.

That's my name again.

Wow.

I am really good at this.

What's with the maiden name?

Well, generally this is the part of the dream

where I'm late for my history final

and I can't find my classroom.

There it is.

I knew it was too good to be true.

Okay, well...

Time to get back to reality.

Oh...

What a dream.

Oh.

Adam?

Cooper, come here, boy!

Okay well, I guess we're still doing this.

I'd better not be in a coma.

Oh, coffee.

Now I know I'm dreaming if you're making... coffee.

Adam?

Ooh.

I didn't know you could taste things in your dreams.

Huh.

I wonder what I have to eat.

Wow, that's a lot of shades of green.

Ah, if only.

No.

Not possible.

You're not dressed?

The car's gonna be here in 10 minutes.

Are you sick?

Sorry, who are you?

So you are sick.

Did you have one too many last night at Casa Cipriani?

Oh, I got in?

- Miss Shaw? - Erin.

- No. - Sorry?

Assistants don't do that.

Oh, so you're my assistant, Zoe.

Did you fall in the bathroom?

I knew the marble floor was a bad idea.

How about you pretend I fell and I don't know anything?

You want me to...

Yes, who am I?

Erin Shaw.

And I'm a fashion designer?

You're the fashion designer.

Okay, where's Adam?

- Sorry, who? - My husband?

You're not married.

What?

Call Adam.

I don't see an Adam in your contacts.

Who do you want to call?

Adam Connolly.

I don't see Adam Connolly in you contacts.

Who do you want to call?

Where's my dog?

- Sorry? - My dog, Cooper?

You don't have a dog.

You even avoid them in the elevator

whenever anyone has a dog with them.

Why would I do that?

Because you got bit when you were a kid.

I did. How do you know that?

It's in your profile.

But Miss Shaw, listen.

We have a very busy day, so let's get you ready

and then maybe make a quick pit stop at the hospital.

Oh, or maybe I'm already in the hospital

and none of this is real.

Huh?

"I gave up a lot to get here. Zero regrets."

Really?

Give me 10 minutes.

Carl has a question about your gown for the gala.

There's still a gala.

Of course, why wouldn't there be?

What?

I can't believe it.

Carl still thinks the neckline is too heavy.

What do you think?

You've never asked me what I thought.

Well, I'm asking now.

Too heavy.

What if we adjust the angle of the bodice seam?

Yeah, that could work.

Okay, tell Carl to do that.

And thank you for your input.

Thank you.

- Well, I'm just gonna go to... - In your office?

That's right, mm-hm.

Thank you.

Wow.

Erin Shaw.

Designer of the Year?

Oh, oh!

Wait until Adam sees this.

If I can find him.

He's single?

I'm single?

Oh, I meant to tell you,

Margot Braymire's office called about dinner.

I have dinner with Margot Braymire?

No, she cancelled again.

I think she's still upset about the whole Fashion Week thing.

Why, did I do something wrong?

Well, I mean, you did what you had to do

to get the closing show, right?

Like you always say,

we're not in the business to make friends, right?

Right.

Okay.

Who am I?

Zoe.

Zoe!

What's with this place?

There are hardly any Christmas decorations.

Well, you said it was a distraction.

Excuse me everyone, listen up.

Tomorrow, bring lots of Christmas decorations.

Thank you.

Is this a test?

No.

It's Christmas!

Okay.

Come back! Cooper.

Cooper!

Cooper, stay!

Oh, my goodness, wait, what are you doing here?

Hey, ho! Sorry. Thank you, so sorry.

- Adam! Oh, oh my gosh! - Oh!

Oh, I am so happy to see you.

I mean, you would not believe my life here.

How about you, isn't this crazy?

I'm sorry, do I know you?

- Funny, keep hugging me. - Okay.

So, I'm gonna get my dog and go now. Okay?

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry, I thought you were someone else.

- Clearly. - You must think I'm nuts.

Ah, nuts. I mean, not...

Hang on a second.

Have we met?

Do I know... you look so familiar to me.

This is you, right?

You're Erin Shaw. You're the famous designer.

Yeah. You know, it's funny,

I didn't peg you for a fashion magazine guy.

No. I mean, no. My niece,

Maya is, she's into all that

and I don't get to see her enough, you know

and her and adult, some-that's too much information.

Okay, so I'm Adam Connolly.

Yes, I know.

How do...

Okay. Okay, you read

that Manhattan's 20 Most Eligible Bachelors article?

I had nothing... I mean, I was surprised as the next guy.

Eligible bachelor? What number were you

- just out of curiosity. - I don't-I don't... Seven.

Is that good or is that bad? Do you wanna be higher?

You wanna be lower? You wanna...

- That's me. - Oh. Oh!

- Yeah, that's me right there. - Fancy.

Yeah, I never thought I'd live in a building like this.

Why not? You're Erin Shaw, famous designer.

No, you deserve it, you know?

You don't want to be in a one-bedroom with a small closet

all that, you know?

I'm right here.

- Really? - Yeah.

Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy you still live near your family.

Okay. Okay. You did read the article.

You got me. Yeah, you got me.

Anyway, okay.

Oh, listen if you ever need someone

to watch Boop I could dog sit.

Sorry, what did you say? You said, "Boop."

Did I?

Yeah. You just called him, Boop.

That's what I call him.

Dr. Adam Connolly. I'm so sorry.

Immediate surgery? Yeah. No, I'm on my way.

Okay, I have to go. I'm so sorry.

- So... - Yeah. Yeah.

Well, it was... Maybe I'll see you around.

Catch you in the neighbourhood.

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Thanks for the hug. - Yeah, you're welcome.

- Okay. - Yeah.

Cooper!

Wait a minute.

Adam's here, that means Kelly is here too.

Kelly, I really need to talk to you, where are you?

Oh. Uh...

Kelly! Oh!

- Okay, we're gonna hug. Oh! - I am so glad you're here!

Okay, I guess you must really be hungry.

Yeah. Yeah, sorry. That's right, I'm starving.

Uh, so, how are you?

I'm fine. You?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you sure you're okay?

Sorry, what's going on here?

We were roommates in college, weren't we? Freshman Year?

Yeah, for about two seconds

'til you moved into an apartment

with a bunch of other fashion majors.

You never mentioned it before.

I just figured you didn't recognize me.

- I'm sorry, I didn't until now. - Whatever, it doesn't matter.

Look, if there's nothing wrong,

I really have to keep going on my deliveries.

Right, of course.

I really hope your Bouche de Noelle is in there.

You never order dessert.

Plus, I'm not the chef,

I just execute the vision of the chef proprietor.

Wait, this isn't even your business?

Girl, is it any of yours?

There's the Kelly I know.

Phewf.

I'll bring a Bouche de Noelle next time.

Okay, hair and makeup will be here in 10 minutes.

For?

The Dazzle Magazine Christmas Party.

It's been on your schedule for weeks.

Right. Of course.

What am I wearing?

You always wear something

from next year's holiday collection. So...

Yes, I do.

And where might I find this collection?

In here.

Those are mine?

I really am good at this, aren't I?

You're the best.

Oh! Miss Shaw!

- Oh! - Miss Shaw, over here!

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

The Post wants five minutes, Harper's wants ten.

Woman's World wants a comment

on the Bergdorf window situation.

What window situation?

Oh, yes, exactly. Rise above it.

Is that Gwyneth...

Yes! You know who it is. You're the one that invited her.

Did I? Oh!

Kelly!

Hi. We will have your special gluten-free

appetizer plate, just one second.

I'm gluten-free?

Do you have any of your chestnut bisque?

How do you know about that?

I've never made it for you before.

It's one of my private recipes.

Oh, I heard about it.

From where?

Uh, the internet?

Right.

Well, I am making some for the Christmas market,

I have a booth there this weekend if you want

- I could make you some extra. - Amazing.

- I have to get back to work. - Okay.

Hi. Hi. Yes. I just need you two minutes. Two minutes.

We just have to finalize

those designs we've been talking about.

Erin! Oh!

Vivienne Vandershall, in charge of the Christmas gala.

Oh, I guess some things haven't changed.

- All right. - Ah, Vivienne.

You look incredible tonight, Erin. Absolutely stunning.

Oh, thank you.

How are things going with the Gala?

Oh, well, we're just getting some confirmations

from a few of the donors here tonight but I'm pretty certain

that we're gonna raise just as much money as ever.

Is there anything I can do?

You mean aside from being the reason that anybody

even shows up?

- Oh, come on. - Oh.

That's very nice of you to say.

Well, I mean everybody is so excited to see

what you're gonna wear for the theme.

Isn't the theme Christmas?

Oh!

I'll be in touch.

The theme is, What If?

- How'd you know I forgot? - Wild guess.

Oh, Ms. Braymire. Over here!

Margot Braymire.

Erin.

Margot.

I didn't expect to see you until the Christmas gala.

Oh, so you're actually gonna go to an event with me?

Why would I miss the most important fashion event

of the year?

Well, it's more than just about the fashion, isn't it?

Indeed. It's about bragging rights.

I assume you will be wearing your own design as usual?

- I think so. - As will I.

May the best dress win.

Oh, man, she really doesn't like me.

Didn't you tell me, if you cared about

who liked you or not, you're in the wrong business?

Did I say that?

That's Dr. Adam Connolly, Chief of Cardiac Surgery

at Bowman Hospital.

Don't follow me.

Hey, neighbour.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi - Hi.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

- Yeah, I made this myself. - Yeah, I figured. I, uh

bought this myself.

- Very impressive. - Thank you very much.

- What can I get you? - Uh, Santa's Sipper.

- Hey, Jack. - Yeah.

Two of those please. For mine can you switch

the Bourbon for tequila and put maple sugar on the rim?

- Thank you. - Ew.

What do you mean, ew? No, it's great.

You'll see. I call that drink the Franken-cocktail.

- Hm! - What?

What's funny?

Nothing. You should try that in hot cocoa.

Hey, how's Cooper?

Cooper keeps trying to get into your building.

- Aw, really? - Mm-hmm. Adorable.

Dr. Connolly?

I didn't know that you and Miss Shaw were acquainted.

Oh yeah, we go way back.

Wonderful.

So, does this mean that you will be attending the Christmas Gala?

Let me get back to you on that.

Oh.

You're seriously considering not going?

Yeah, I'm busy. I'm...

You're nosey. I have a full schedule, thank you very much.

And those parties are all schmooze over substance,

It's not my thing.

H-how can you say that?

It's just, not my thing.

- Okay, well I gonna get going. - Well, I'll walk you home.

Nah. It's not necessary.

Basically, we live in the same place.

You know what? I'll walk in your orbit. Or

you can walk in mine.

Does that line actually work?

No. No, it's terrible.

- Uh-huh. - It sounded so cool in my head

- and then... - No. Not so much.

- Shall we? - Okay.

Okay.

Miss Shaw!

- Okay, thank you. Thank you. - Can I get your autograph?!

Miss Shaw!

I should get a tree.

Don't you have one?

Well, one that I can decorate.

I mean, the one in the penthouse,

I didn't do that, I don't think.

Okay, so walk me through your plan, you wanna grab

one of these ten-footers and hoist it up

to that penthouse in your fancy gown and heels?

Maybe I'll get one for my desk.

Better. All right.

Oh...

It's from Charlie Brown.

- I know what it's from. - Do you? It's my favourite.

I know that, it's my favourite.

- Oh, is it? - Yes!

I can tell you the real meaning of Christmas,

Charlie Brown. I can quote the whole thing.

I won't but I could. Well, this is done.

This is the one.

No, no! I got it. I got it.

Well, please allow me.

- Oh, thank you. - Keep the change. Thank you.

Oh...

Didn't look so heavy in the cartoon. I got it!

- My hero. - I work out.

Oh, hang on a second, that's me.

I need to take this, might be the hospital.

Oh, no. Sorry.

Dad. Wh...

Um, right now?

I... No, it's fine. Happy to do it.

Yeah, all right. I'll see you soon.

Yeah, love you too.

Okay, so, irony of ironies, my dad picked this moment

to actually buy a 10-footer himself and now needs help

hoisting that upstairs, so I'm gonna go help him.

I should probably drop you off. I'm sorry.

Oh, don't ever apologize for being with your family.

Well, I'm just glad I was there this time.

What do you mean, this time?

When I became head of Cardiac Surgery I thought well,

"I'm the head of Cardiac Surgery

I'll have a lot more flexibility with my schedule

- "more time to see my family or..." - Or date.

Yeah, but you know how that is. It's just,

you don't have any time.

No, I know. I know.

- Yeah, I thought you would. - Yeah.

- I thought you could relate. - Yeah, no. More than you know.

It's the job but also, all the other stuff

you have to do for it. Like all the events.

Oh right. Exactly. Like the,

well, the event tonight.

Right, well actually, tonight

tonight's event got a whole lot better when I saw you there.

Still more comfortable in an OR than a ballroom but...

Must be incredible

to be you and to help people the way that you do.

It's amazing.

You're in the OR with your team, if you do it right

a heart restarts.

Someone gets a new life.

That is amazing.

Especially around the holidays.

I lost my dad a few years ago around Christmas.

I lost my mom around the same time.

That's the reason that I wanted to come up.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

Not a great thing to have in common.

I guess we really don't know how much time we have left

with our loved ones.

Right.

I-I would really like to talk to you

about the Christmas Gala the next time I see you.

I have to tell you, my idea of high-fashion is, uh

monogrammed scrubs, so uh,

I think you might be disappointed.

Well...

Oh.

Good night.

Good night.

And thank you for walking me home.

My pleasure.

And for picking out this beautiful tree.

Good night. Good night.

I'm just finishing up at the party,

do you need me to come over?

No, no, I just need to ask you a question

about the Christmas Gala.

It's for Bowman Hospital, right?

For pro bono surgeries?

No, it's for the design museum's permanent collection,

like always.

What? What does the hospital do for their charity?

I literally have no idea.

Thanks...

Hi. Looks like everyone's really enjoying your soup,

but I'm not surprised. It's the best thing you make.

Where have you had it before? I can't figure it out.

Um, last year's market.

Right. Well, just do me a favor, please

don't tell me boss. She already thinks I'm plotting against her.

You really should go out on your own. You're so talented.

Hey, can I ask why you're so interested in my career?

I'm your biggest fan, aside from Kevin, of course.

Kevin?

You're not married to Kevin Brown?

What? No. Uh...

No, we broke up after college because he moved to Boston.

You didn't go with him?

Move to a whole new city after

not even being engaged? No. No, no, no, I'm

not that big a risk taker.

Well, I-I lived in Boston for a while.

We could've been roommates.

Didn't really work out too well the first time.

That's not tr... Oh, never mind. Um...

There's a really cool Christmas vintage booth across the park,

you want to check it out?

You know what? I should probably just stay here.

Right. Could I at least get some soup?

Knock yourself out.

Thank you.

- Evelyn? - Yes. Do we know each other?

Well...

Let's just say I have quite a few of your pieces.

- Oh. - Where's Rico?

He's at home.

His heart is too weak.

Wait, he didn't have surgery?

No, he's still waiting,

and we can't afford to not be here, so...

Evelyn, I'm so sorry.

How many mugs do you have?

- Mm, 20. - I'll take 'em all.

Box up five, and I'll come back for the rest.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Evelyn. Bring more mugs tomorrow, I have a feeling

you're gonna sell out.

Hi, everyone! Oh, better!

Yeah! Hi!

Much better. Ooh...

Even better.

What are you working on?

Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't... I didn't mean to...

You... Doodling. Just doodling.

Can I see it?

It's, uh...

No, it's not ready. I'm not ready.

Okay. Well, when you are, let me know. Oh!

I got soup!

Oh, okay! Thanks!

Hmm...

No, something's not right.

Adam?

Bill!

Uh, yes...

Do I know you?

- Hey! - There you are.

- Just dropping Cooper off. - Thanks. Hey!

- Hey, buddy! - But, uh, clearly

he has met a new friend.

Yeah, this is my neighbor, Erin. Cooper

absolutely loves her!

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Bill, but you

seemed to already know that.

Well, you just look like a Bill, I guess.

Look, are you sure you can't come tonight?

We're decorating the cookies.

I know, Dad, but you know, the schedule.

Fine. You're busy.

- I'm saving lives. - I get it.

I'll, uh... save you some cookies.

Alright, thanks, Dad.

- It was a pleasure to meet you. - Thank you.

- You behave. - Cooper!

- Adam... - What.

You should really be with your family.

You're right.

On one condition.

- Hey, Dad? - Hmm?

- Yep? - We got room for one more?

Oh no, I don't want to impose.

Oh... yes! We do.

Are you sure?

It would be our pleasure to have you.

- I would love to, thank you. - Great.

- See you tonight. - Bye, Dad.

- Yeah. - See ya.

Come on in.

Let me take your coat.

Wow! I... I can't believe it, this is...

This is our apartment.

- Sorry? - Um...

Uh, from a photo shoot, I-I mean.

- Um... - Okay.

Yeah. You know what? I hope,

I hope they don't think that we, um...

No, I told them we're just friends.

Oh, right, of course, just friends.

Oh, that's my phone.

Oh, it's Zoe. Just give me ten seconds.

Go ahead. Yeah, sure.

Hey! Oh, hey!

- Hey! Little help. - Hi, Maya! How are you?

Hi, Uncle Adam.

Long time, no see. How's school?

- Um... - Tell him.

- Uh-oh. - School is... fine.

Mm. She skipped her SATs.

She was hanging out with friends at a vintage shop in SOHO.

- What?! - Erin Shaw!

- Erin Shaw! - Uh, who's this?

Erin Shaw! She's Erin Shaw! You're Erin Shaw!

- She's not Erin Shaw. - This is Erin Shaw.

- Yeah... - I... love you! Um...

Okay, so... Alright, okay. So, Erin, um,

this is my sister, Natalie... Maya!

Nice to meet you.

And my niece...

- Maya! I am Maya! - Hi, Maya.

I... I'm freaking out right now. Um...

Yeah, told you. She's into all this.

Can you, uh... Here, it's in here somewhere.

Can you... sign this?

Wow, of... Uh, of course I can.

- Come on in, everyone! - Hey!

You... You remember my dad.

Yes. Hi, Bill.

Welcome. My home is your home.

Oh, well, yeah. Thank you.

Oh, um, Bill, I... I got you this bottle of wine.

Thank you. It... It's my favorite.

- Oh! - Wow. Well, I'll, uh,

I'll put it away for a special occasion.

Oh, no, Nat, you open it.

Anytime we are together for Christmas is special.

- Hey! - Hey!

Wow!

Cooper's treating you like an old friend.

Oh, I-I used to have a dog that looked just like him.

Isn't that right, Boop?

It's...

Let's get started, shall we?

Adam, you are on ugly Christmas sweater cookie duty.

- Got it. - Um... So I made these

so we could make ugly Christmas dresses.

- Ah! - I don't think Erin

wants to make ugly anything.

- No, I kinda like it. - Really?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Um... Okay, let's start with blue, then.

I could sell these for so much money.

- Maya! - I'm kidding! Kind of...

Listen, I admire you for being entrepreneurial.

It's a good skill to have, no matter what you do in life.

Well, my parents think I'm going to ruin my life

- if I don't go to college, so... - Mm-hmm.

Well, I don't know about ruin,

but... I think it's good to have the choice

to do what you want to do when the time comes,

instead of letting life choose for you.

But what if I already know what I want to do?

You might find this hard to believe,

but you could change your mind by the time you get older.

I would just study hard

and keep those doors open.

Is that what you did?

I let a few doors close.

Then suddenly, they were open,

and I'd kind of like to keep it that way.

Oh no.

What, Dad?

We're out of powdered sugar.

Oh no, I think we have plenty of fre...

Nope! We are definitely

Out of powdered sugar.

Um, Adam?

- Yes, Dad. - Why don't you and Erin

take a nice walk down to the bodega and get some?

Get some powdered sugar?

- Yes. - Mm-hmm.

Shall we?

Uh, yep. Bodega powdered sugar it is.

Okay, I'm gonna look over here.

Thank you. Thanks.

- Alright, mission accomplished. - Me too.

These would be perfect on you.

Okay, I'm not really a novelty sock guy.

No, no, you are a novelty sock guy,

trapped in a boring sock guy's body.

- Boring? - Mm-hmm.

I'll have you know, I do serious work.

I do serious surgery. These are unserious socks.

Don't you think your patients

who are nervous about their serious surgeries

would like to know their surgeon has a personality?

My patients are gonna know

that I have a personality because of my socks?

And what's my personality? Christmas pug?

Adam. This is something for them to talk about

when they're feeling scared.

Yeah, you're right. Okay.

And also, I guess if a world-famous fashion designer

thinks they're adequate, who am I to argue?

But that means I get to get you something.

Okay. Oh. Oh, hmm...

- Mittens. - Hmm.

Okay, I can tell from your poker face you don't

think they're great, but I'll tell you what,

if paparazzi shows up, you don't have to put 'em on.

Oh, no! I am at peace with my cringe.

Good, then let's get you a scarf.

No, no, no... Less is more. Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you for inviting me tonight.

Your family is wonderful.

I'm glad you came.

That's the best night I've had in a long time.

- Me too. - Good.

- Hey, can I ask you a question? - Mm-hmm?

Does Bowman have a pro bono cardiac surgery foundation?

You know, for people that might want to see you

but can't afford to?

Not officially.

We got a very large donation a few years back.

- From your friend, actually. - A friend of mine?

The woman you were talking to at the party.

Margot Braymire. I was her husband's surgeon,

and she had a press conference. I thought it would draw more in,

but I guess the New York City charity scene

is a little competitive.

- Hmm. - Especially at Christmas time.

Maybe that's where I come in.

We're back.

- Hi! Here's the sugar. - The what?

The sugar that you so desperately wanted, Dad.

Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah, just... Close your eyes.

Okay.

- Ta-da! - What is this for?

You won the decorating contest.

Congratulations!

Oh, this is the most prestigious award I've ever won.

Oh, really? Even more than all those designing ones?

Mm-hmm, to be honest, I barely remember winning those.

Uh, can I get a selfie?

It's just to prove to my friends that you were here.

Of course! You can even tag me.

Okay.

You are the best.

Just remember what I told you earlier.

Yeah, okay.

- Everyone, come on in! - Oh, okay.

Oh!

Phil, thank you so much.

You have no idea how much this meant to me.

I don't know what it is.

Ever since we met,

we have felt like family.

Hey, Erin, I had to get two cars.

- Oh. - I have to go to the hospital.

I just got called in to do emergency surgery.

- Oh, I understand. Good luck. - Yeah, thanks.

- I'm really glad you came. - Me too.

- Dad. - Night, son.

Ugh, socks.

Oh, I knew it was in there.

Hello, Margot?

Can I help with anything?

No, I'm all set. Just doing my job.

What? What's wrong?

Oh, nothing! Nothing at all.

You're just so in your element right now.

Everything smells so good.

Well, just be sure to follow my instructions after I leave.

Or you could stay for dinner, sit at the table with us?

- Why are you doing this? - Doing what?

Whatever this is.

We knew each other for like two days 25 years ago

and now, what, you're buying all my soup,

asking me to stay for dinner? I don't get it.

I just think we could be friends, that's all.

Based on what? The fact that you like my cooking?

Friendship is worth a lot more than that.

I know it is.

Look, I'm sorry if I'm pushing too hard.

I guess I just needed someone to talk to,

there's a lot going on.

Must be pretty lonely at the top, huh?

Pasta goes in boiling water, eight minutes, do not overcook.

Bisque is in the terrine, the scallops are resting.

It'll be ready as soon as your guests sit down.

I hope your din...

I hope your dinner goes well.

I hope it goes well too.

Come on in.

Thank you for the bottle of wine, should I open it now?

- Sure, yeah. - Hey, where is Cooper?

He was invited too, you know.

Um, Cooper?

No, I could not subject strangers doing baby face.

Oh, you're right. That is hard to resist.

So you...

You've been awfully cryptic about this dinner.

You gonna tell me what it's all about?

Well, it's about the woman who made this mug, for one.

Evelyn Garcia.

Her husband has a heart condition,

he's homebound and he needs the kind of surgery

that you pioneered.

Garcia... I don't remember a Garcia.

That's because if they want to see you,

they have to pay out of network,

and we know how much that would cost.

So right now, Evelyn is trying to take care of Rico,

their kids, and make a living.

Sorry to hear that. Really, I am.

But I think I have a way to help families like the Garcias

find their way to you.

I just need to convince a couple of people it's worth the risk.

How can I help?

By being your charming self.

Oh, and you finally get to schmooze with substance.

I can do that. Let's rewind five seconds.

You think I'm charming?

You're getting there.

Margot, thank you so much for coming.

It sounded urgent.

Well, urgent enough to invite a frenemy.

And yes, I know what the word means, I'm not that old.

Margot, I would never think of you that way.

I've been idolizing you since I'm 18!

Really? You have an odd way of showing it.

Well, things are different now.

- Oh, Dr. Connolly! - Hi.

I'm sorry I didn't get to speak to you

at the dazzle party, but you did seem to be

otherwise occupied.

Right. How's Henry doing?

He is paddleboarding in Turks and Caicos,

which is something I absolutely never thought

I would be saying about a 70-year-old man.

All thanks to you.

Well, best news I've gotten all week.

Also, I want to say thank you again

for your generous donation.

- It's a great cause. - It is a great cause indeed.

Oh...

Is that why I'm here?

In a way...

It's really more about the gala.

Oh, you want to cancel it

because you know that my gown

will be the superior one, once again.

I'm sure it will.

I actually want to change it.

Oh?

Oh, that's Vivienne.

I love it. It's gorgeous.

Oh, Margot's here! Lovely to see you.

Hello, hello.

I think it's such a great idea that we just start, you know,

rising and having a good time as you were told.

- Doctor Connolly! - Hello.

Are you also here for the gala?

I just didn't realize that you also had an interest in fashion.

No... Up until last year, I still rented my tux.

Yeah, actually, Doctor Connolly

is not here about this year's gala,

it's more about next year.

I'm not getting the connection.

- Neither. - Uh, well, how about we...

Why don't we...

Yeah, that's a good idea, why don't we enjoy this meal

and then we can talk about it?

- Right. - So mysterious!

What an exceptional meal,

especially the chestnut bisque.

Who was the chef again?

Her name is Kelly Babakin.

Is she available?

I was hoping you would ask, I'll put you in touch.

Excellent.

Much as I love good mystery,

I think it is time that you tell us why we're here.

Well...

You're here because there are families in this city

who can't afford the surgery that saved Henry's life.

But the four of us can change that.

Well, I don't see how we connect the hospital

with a gala celebrating fashion.

Well, I think I have an idea.

What if, starting next year,

we got ten designers to create the most exquisite dresses

and we auction them off that night?

Proceeds go to pro bono surgeries at Bowman.

Instead of competing for bragging rights,

we would be competing for whose gown

brought in the most money for a worthy cause.

It would fund surgeries for a year.

That's a lot of families who would get to stay together.

I can't think of a better Christmas gift.

You should be happy, they said yes!

I am.

I just wish it wasn't a year away.

So much can change in a year.

Or in an instant.

Better late than never, right?

Come on. Come with me.

Where?

Come on.

I gotta say,

I think this is the slowest I've ever walked in the city.

I think they call it strolling.

- Nice, isn't it? - I could get used to it.

Do you want to go inside?

Best hot cocoa in the city.

I've never really been a hot cocoa guy.

Oh... Okay.

Um... Well, we've already had dessert, so.

It was great.

Can I tell you something?

Of course.

So...

I almost didn't show up.

To dinner?

Dinner, cookies with Dad, all of it.

And the reason for that is,

for the last ten years,

I have been telling myself, "You just keep your head down,

you work harder than anyone else, that'll be enough."

And then...

I met you.

You make me

want to want more.

You understand? You make me want to be better.

Thank you.

But the truth is

the guy that wants to do better has always been in there.

You didn't need me.

Well...

I do now.

Let's go to the gala together.

I thought you were undecided about that.

I was but now I have a date.

I didn't say yes.

Hmm... But you did kiss me.

You kissed me!

You're right. Yeah, no, you're right.

Yes, I will be your date.

- Morning! - Morning.

You're going to look great in this dress tonight.

And you'll beat Margot for the bragging rights.

I don't know, it's still not quite right.

But let's see what your dress might look like.

- Mine? - Mm-hmm.

What do you mean?

Well, you left your sketchbook open

and I may or may not have given

the design to Carl to build.

You...

No...

- That-that's my dress! - That is your dress!

But why?

Because I didn't want you to wait so long

that you missed your opportunity.

Thank you.

No one has ever put me in the room before.

Well. I'm happy to do it.

So the hair lady wants to know when you'll be ready.

I still am not sure what I'm wearing yet.

You're not wearing that?

No, it's not ready.

I'm going to save it for next Christmas

when it really matters.

I think... This will do.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Oh, and, Maya? - Mm-hmm?

Thank you for helping out today.

Are you kidding?

This has been the best day of my life.

Well, plenty more days like that ahead for you.

Especially now that you're refocused on college.

Maya, you did sign up for the make-up SAT, right?

What about the advice I gave you?

Didn't that make a difference?

I don't mean to offend you, but...

This is my future and...

And I'm a stranger.

Yeah. Sorry.

And I'm a stranger.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. Wow.

Next year, this event is going to change everything

for you and the hospital.

I know. I can't wait. But first...

Oh, can you hold on one second?

- Where's your dress? - Margot, I'll be right back.

- Hi! - Hey.

Everyone loved your cooking last week,

I'm so excited for you.

- For what? - Didn't Margot call?

Yes, and I said no.

What?

Why? Cooking for her could be life-changing.

Who says I wanted to change my life?

You don't know anything about me.

Merry Christmas, I hope you find what you're looking for.

Oh... Yeah.

Merry Christmas.

Where's your dress?

What do you mean?

Not this rerun, the one you've been working on.

I assumed you'd wear it tonight.

I couldn't finish it.

To be honest, something is missing

and I'm just not sure what it is.

In my experience, when something is missing in a piece,

it usually isn't the piece.

- And what is it? - It's the designer.

Figured out what's missing in your mind?

The dress won't design itself.

Attention, attention.

Let's have a round of applause for our hosts for the evening,

Margot Braymire and Erin Shaw.

Shall we?

You okay?

- I should be, shouldn't I? - Mhm-hmm.

Can I have a 20 second hug?

That's very specific.

It's an endorphin thing, you...

Um, never mind.

Okay.

- Let's just keep dancing. Yeah. - Alright.

Erin, I need to tell you something.

Come with me.

So, I had a call yesterday

from The Global Health Fellowship.

There's a new cardiac centre opening.

It's all pro bono work donated by surgeons

from around the world and they want me

to build the program.

- Adam, that's amazing. - Right?

I'm so excited for you!

Yeah, no, it's great. It's

great. It's

not local.

Where is it?

Geneva.

The one in Switzerland.

So, I would be gone for a year.

I see.

I couldn't stop thinking about all of it.

Everything that you've said. Getting better and wanting more.

Helping people get to me, it just

made me want to do something right away, and...

Now, I can.

Thanks to you. You...

You inspired me.

Oh yeah, I inspired you right out the door.

Ah, I'll be back.

In time for next year's gala, I promise.

Right.

And this thing between us?

It's great.

It was going somewhere,

but I also feel like I need to do this. So...

I'm sorry, Erin.

I know it wouldn't be fair to ask you that.

Wait. I guess...

I'm still not ready yet.

That's okay.

I know somebody who already is.

Oh! Really?

So I had competition this whole time?

Uh-huh, kinda. I mean, not...

- Been separated. - Ah.

But he's been trying to change the world for 25 years,

and I've always been by his side.

I just made one mistake.

I didn't tell him what I needed.

You don't strike me as the kind of person

that keeps that kind of thing to herself.

Well, I'm not. Not anymore.

I think I just didn't want him to feel bad

about everything I gave up for him.

Not that he asked me to give anything up.

Maybe you should just tell him that you've changed.

I wish I could.

Well, hey.

It's Christmas.

You never know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I hope he knows how lucky he is.

I'm the lucky one.

Please bring me home.

No!

Please, I just want to go home.

Please, just let me go home.

Please, please, please...

I just want to go.

Cooper?

Cooper, how did you get in here? Oh, my goodness.

Oh, I missed you so much.

Oh... Cooper.

I thought I wanted all of this.

Turns out I had everything I needed.

What

is going on?

Hey, what happened?

Nothing, nothing, I'm just... I'm just so glad you're here.

Where, where else would I be?

In Geneva.

What?

Never mind. Sounds silly.

Cooper, what's happening?

Wait, where is it?

You okay? What's going on?

I had... I had a really strange dream, last night,

but it was so real.

Okay.

It made me realize that

there's something I've been afraid to say out loud.

Well

- you can tell me anything. - I know. I...

I haven't.

Until now.

Look, your job matters.

People like Rico Garcia

are living longer lives because of you,

and I never wanted you to think that came at a cost.

Are you saying that it did?

I stopped asking for things for myself a long time ago,

and I told myself it was because your job was more important,

but that wasn't fair.

To either one of us.

I'm sorry, I have been holding you back.

No.

Adam, you never asked me to give up my dreams.

That was on me, I did that.

I... I didn't speak up.

Right.

But I didn't ask.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me your dream.

Well, I'd like to show you.

Please.

I remember that sketchbook.

Yeah, I lost it for a while, but...

Now I found it.

Oh. Wow!

These are beautiful.

I used to wonder

if I could do that for a living,

but now I know I can.

Of course, you can!

And you know what? You don't have to do it alone.

I'm here to help. Anything you need.

I'll get you coffee, I'll sharpen your pencils,

I'll carry around your sewing machine.

I don't have a sewing machine.

I'm gonna get you a sewing machine.

Maybe two, this Christmas.

What I want is you by my side.

Oh, and a

20-second hug?

That I can do.

- Oh, I got it. - Okay.

Hello? Hey! Kelly!

- Hello, Doctor Conolly. Hi! - Kelly!

Hi, I just wanted to drop off some bisque before I go.

She, uh, she had a vivid dream last night.

No, no, it was wild.

You broke up with Kevin, you didn't even move to Boston,

and the worst part, we weren't best friends.

Okay, that sounds like a nightmare.

But I am so glad to be back. Oh, and do me a favor?

Of course, anything. You're my beef.

Next year, keep Christmas Eve open.

You got it.

This is a good photo.

I don't remember us taking this photo.

I do.

Wanna get some cocoa?

Sure.

Hi, okay.

In her cocoa, the lady will have...

Milk chocolate base, toasted marshmallow,

peppermint sprinkles... and a cinnamon stick.

Wow, you remembered.

Just needed a little nudge.

- I'll have the same, please. - Coming right up.

What? I can change.

I can see that.

Ah, there they are, thank you.

Oh, wait, wait.

- Your fee. - Aw.

Thank you.

Zoe?

Do I know you?

Oh, let's just say our paths have crossed.

- What are you doing here? - Just waiting for my boss.

You're Margot Braymire's assistant?

- Yeah. - Miss Braymire.

Allow me to introduce you to my wife, Erin.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ma...

Mrs. Braymire.

Your husband is a brilliant surgeon.

He saved my husband's life a few years ago.

Oh, he's very good at what he does.

I'm gonna get a table.

Just like you are very good at what you do.

In fact, I'm wearing one of your dresses tonight.

Really? What's the occasion?

A hospital fundraiser.

Well, I'm happy to make a donation. Zoe...

Actually, um, I have an idea

on how you could really help out next year.

Could I talk to you for a couple of minutes?

Um, of course.

Okay, Zoe, show her your sketches. Take your shot.

How do you...

I know things.

Oh, there's Zoe!

Thank you.

Oh!

There's Kelly.

Your gown is gorgeous.

I'm so glad that you finished it.

Thank you. I finally figured out what was missing.

There's a lot of buzz tonight

about some of the newer designers.

As a matter of fact,

one dress is particular is getting a lot of attention.

Zoe's?

Call me in January,

I think we could do some wonderful work together.

Oh, please, let that be real.

Of course it is, and you know what?

You deserve it.

That's the reason we're here.

Everybody is over the moon tonight, Erin.

- Oh! - Thank you!

I'm so glad that we got you off the coat check.

Thanks.

You did it.

Well, we all did it.

- Erin. - Hm?

I need to tell you something.

What?

I'm just so incredibly proud

to be your husband.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Where did we get that?

It was a gift.

I like it.

Kind of works on a couple of levels, doesn't it?

I think that's why it was given to me.

It's us.

It's us.

Mm-hmm.

Can you imagine

if you never came up to me at that coffee shop counter,

all those years ago.

Where would we be now?

I don't want to think about what if

when I'm so happy with what is.
