1
00:00:02,890 --> 00:00:09,110
This is the start of something new. Look
in your eyes and the world comes into

2
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:13,490
view. I got a feeling like this
Christmas gonna be a little different.

3
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:20,510
I would crumple up my wish list and
trade it all for you and all you

4
00:00:20,510 --> 00:00:26,070
need to say to make it a Merry Christmas
Day.

5
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,750
Did you know Christmas is the best time
to fall in love?

6
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:36,330
It's like scientifically proven.

7
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,550
And love is scientific.

8
00:00:38,870 --> 00:00:43,790
Chemistry. Think about it. People are
more social during the holiday season.

9
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:46,630
They're more open to getting out of
their comfort zone.

10
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Sis, this single is quite happy not to
mingle.

11
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:09,960
So therefore, people who are open to the
magic of Christmas time open themselves

12
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:16,020
up more to love. This episode, we'll be
diving into a hot new dating app. Take

13
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:17,100
to heart.

14
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:18,580
Take to heart.

15
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:42,510
It's not until 9.30 I'll be there with
plenty of time to spare.

16
00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:47,670
I'll be there in five.

17
00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:56,430
Can you pass these Halloween show me
tickets?

18
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:03,510
Hello, everyone.

19
00:02:04,590 --> 00:02:06,170
Merry almost Christmas.

20
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,800
I must have missed the 9.30 actually
means 9 memo in the chat room.

21
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:19,340
Nora, we felt this board meeting was of
particular importance given the current

22
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,340
state of the company.

23
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:28,020
Well, that is quite cryptic, Christine.
I mean, our readership has dipped a bit.

24
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Oh, not a dip. A major drop.

25
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:32,820
Well, usually.

26
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Christmas is our biggest reader season
and our biggest advertising season.

27
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:41,500
Well, that may have been true in the
past, but it has been brought to our

28
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,960
attention that level 11 is taking a bite
out of our audience.

29
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:49,340
We are missing out on a key demographic
that our advertisers are very interested

30
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:50,239
in reaching.

31
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120
People aged 18 to 39.

32
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:55,700
Max.

33
00:02:58,300 --> 00:02:59,300
Nora.

34
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,040
I know that you feel you have a...

35
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,780
certain stature on the board because of
your recent move to chairperson. My

36
00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:11,560
father handed over a multi-million
dollar hedge fund to me and I nearly

37
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,340
doubled its value in less than a year.

38
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,640
It's that same hedge fund that allowed
you to build this company.

39
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,500
People, the board, me, I am thirsty for
a Nora Winters column.

40
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:28,500
Now look, we have run all of the online
data and we have found a partner with

41
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,900
some stellar potential.

42
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000
One that's going to help bring readers
into this new target demographic.

43
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,900
Have you ever heard of Take to Heart?

44
00:03:38,460 --> 00:03:42,820
Oh, Nora, get out from under that rock.
It's a revolutionary new dating app that

45
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:46,200
pushes people out of their comfort zone
and into situations they wouldn't

46
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,960
normally find themselves in to meet
people the old-fashioned way, face-to

47
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,960
-face.

48
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:53,280
What does this have to do with Prism?

49
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,940
Well, you know, Christmas is the most
romantic time of the year. Oh, it is.

50
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,840
What about Valentine's Day?

51
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,120
It's too cliche.

52
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:05,800
Christmas is magical. It's cozy.

53
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,840
The program on Take to Heart's app will
be used to prove that Christmas is the

54
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,279
best time of year to fall in love. And
the person who is going to test out this

55
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,920
theory will be, drumroll Christine, Nora
Winters.

56
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:22,180
Excuse me?

57
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:27,080
So, you are going to follow Take to
Heart's multi-step plan on how to fall

58
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,919
in love.

59
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,740
And... While doing so, you're going to
create a series of columns to be posted

60
00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:34,900
on the Prism site with some exclusive
content along the way.

61
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:39,960
Romance and Christmas pull very high
with new demographic and you pull very

62
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,080
high with the current demographic.

63
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,740
So it's a win-win for everyone.

64
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:46,320
Except me.

65
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,100
I'm not doing a dating app and I'm not
writing a dating column.

66
00:04:54,380 --> 00:04:56,680
You don't really have a choice.

67
00:04:57,870 --> 00:04:59,770
It's my company. No.

68
00:05:01,130 --> 00:05:05,070
It's a public company of which my hedge
fund owns the majority of voting shares.

69
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:11,570
Okay, look, this is a fun and engaging
idea.

70
00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:17,170
However, if you really do want to go
after this new demographic, I'm sure

71
00:05:17,170 --> 00:05:19,890
that there are other ways. Nora, your
way is costing us.

72
00:05:22,410 --> 00:05:24,170
And if I don't do this?

73
00:05:25,690 --> 00:05:29,980
Hypothetically. The board could vote you
out as CEO and put in someone else who

74
00:05:29,980 --> 00:05:33,520
is willing to do what it takes to ensure
the future of PRISM. Are you serious,

75
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,820
Max? Your way is not working, Nora.

76
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Let's put it to a vote.

77
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:45,900
All those in favor of me doing this
silly, likely momentary dating app...

78
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:51,780
All opposed...

79
00:05:53,979 --> 00:05:55,940
I'm going to send over everything you
need to get started.

80
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Take to Heart would like to start
publishing articles by Wednesday.

81
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:00,420
That's two days.

82
00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:03,160
Well, Christmas is only two weeks away.
Time is of the essence.

83
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:05,940
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing
what you create.

84
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Come on, Christine.

85
00:06:22,030 --> 00:06:23,950
The take to heart steps for success.

86
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:32,510
Okay, so you just stand like right like
that. I do realize I can't sing, right?

87
00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:35,590
That's okay. That's okay. Sandy will
balance out the altos. You're just here

88
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:37,050
to sort of balance out visually.

89
00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:38,069
Okay, thanks.

90
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:44,290
Oh, this take to heart thing is just so
much. Adley, they want me to stage my

91
00:06:44,290 --> 00:06:45,290
own meet cute.

92
00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:46,470
That's insane.

93
00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:48,530
Well, how else are you supposed to fall
in love?

94
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,060
I'm going to write a great article and
make everyone think I'm falling in love.

95
00:06:52,260 --> 00:06:54,120
I'm just going to write it. Nobody's
going to know.

96
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,660
Or you could actually put yourself out
there again. I'm just saying.

97
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,740
What I need to do is I need to find
someone to fake fall in love with.

98
00:07:02,220 --> 00:07:05,380
You've seen a romantic comedy. All you
have to do is spill your hot cocoa on

99
00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:08,400
someone and boom, you've got a meet
cute. Or a second degree burn.

100
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:10,100
Ah, shoot.

101
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960
It's Clark. He's just running things
down at the bakery.

102
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Hi, honey.

103
00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:16,220
Yeah. Oh.

104
00:07:22,210 --> 00:07:28,770
Hey, reader, so I know it's been a
while, but I think

105
00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:32,550
this is all insane, and what did I get
myself into?

106
00:07:33,190 --> 00:07:35,490
What am I doing?

107
00:07:45,450 --> 00:07:47,730
Okay, it's not real. None of it's real.

108
00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:51,210
Just do the meet-cute.

109
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:57,380
Make the board happy keep your job from
a whiny little nepo, baby

110
00:07:57,380 --> 00:08:02,680
Wow,

111
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,600
I mean that

112
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:16,380
that's you nailed that Excuse me That
meet cute that you just tried to

113
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:20,620
stage for yourself. I don't know what
you're talking about right? No, it's a

114
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:23,720
it's a classic I've only ever seen it in
movies, though. I've never actually seen

115
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,720
it in real life.

116
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:26,720
Again, I don't know what you're talking
about.

117
00:08:27,260 --> 00:08:30,580
So you're just trying to pour piping hot
cocoa on some poor, unsuspecting

118
00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:32,299
stranger? That's almost worse.

119
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,080
No, it was for work.

120
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:38,179
Why is that funny?

121
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
No, I just... That's good.

122
00:08:42,220 --> 00:08:43,900
Well, it's too bad I didn't choose you.

123
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:45,620
Yeah, yeah.

124
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,460
Huge, huge bummer.

125
00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:51,140
Look, whatever it is you were trying to
do to meet someone there, I...

126
00:08:51,790 --> 00:08:53,410
I hope it works out for you. Okay.

127
00:08:53,850 --> 00:08:55,570
I wasn't. I wasn't trying.

128
00:08:56,490 --> 00:08:57,490
I'm not.

129
00:08:57,950 --> 00:08:58,950
Oh, whatever.

130
00:09:01,850 --> 00:09:02,950
Is everything okay?

131
00:09:03,470 --> 00:09:04,710
What happened to you?

132
00:09:05,610 --> 00:09:06,970
Wait. Did you?

133
00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:09,450
Yeah. Yeah, I did. And it was a huge
fail.

134
00:09:09,710 --> 00:09:14,070
Oh, by the way, Lola wanted to come
straight to you from college. So would

135
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:17,030
it be okay if you brought her to dinner
tonight? Oh, of course. I can't wait to

136
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:18,030
see her.

137
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:20,070
Okay. Okay.

138
00:09:20,390 --> 00:09:23,130
Go time. Here you go. First page.

139
00:09:23,410 --> 00:09:25,030
Well, you remember I'm miming.

140

A merry Christmas we wish you. A merry
Christmas we wish you. A merry Christmas

141
00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:35,230
and a happy new year.

142
00:09:35,950 --> 00:09:36,950
Aunt Nora?

143
00:09:37,890 --> 00:09:41,210
Hello? Lola? I didn't hear you come in.

144
00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:43,070
Oh,

145
00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:44,690
oh, wait, wait, wait.

146
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:51,990
I hope nothing in there is breakable. I
miss you so much. I missed you too, Aunt

147
00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:54,970
Nora. Wait, so this thing with Take to
Heart seems cool.

148
00:09:55,510 --> 00:09:56,510
What?

149
00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:59,010
You, dating, using the program.

150
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:01,330
Wait, how do you know about that?

151
00:10:02,170 --> 00:10:07,490
I mean, it's all over. There's socials.
I was just looking at it. Right here.

152
00:10:11,029 --> 00:10:16,430
Nor winters trust take to heart to fall
in love before Christmas Wow Is

153
00:10:16,430 --> 00:10:17,430
something wrong?

154
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:20,110
Uh No, nothing.

155
00:10:20,490 --> 00:10:22,050
Okay, we should go. Yes.

156
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:26,610
Your mom will not be thrilled if we are
late for dinner No, especially given

157
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:28,290
your track record with family dinners
recently.

158
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:30,910
Don't bring that up and I'll help you
carry these presents.

159
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:34,950
Okay. Thank you You got it. Yep

160
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:38,310
Wait, you're doing what?

161
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:40,190
It's called How to Fall in Love by
Christmas.

162
00:10:40,530 --> 00:10:41,690
That sounds like so much fun.

163
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:45,990
And you've been so focused on your work.
And you haven't dated anyone for, like,

164
00:10:46,010 --> 00:10:47,070
as long as I can remember.

165
00:10:47,330 --> 00:10:50,450
I have been a tiny bit busy. This will
be really good for you. Get you out of

166
00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:51,730
your shell, into new experiences.

167
00:10:52,290 --> 00:10:55,750
Yeah, and if you really do fall in
love... Okay, it's just the name of the

168
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:59,850
series. But it wouldn't be the worst
thing. I mean, just have a little fun,

169
00:10:59,970 --> 00:11:00,970
sis. It's Christmas.

170
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:05,330
I saw the invites to the fundraiser, and
they look great.

171
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:07,950
Well, Lola designed it. Oh.

172
00:11:09,490 --> 00:11:10,570
How's the foundation doing?

173
00:11:11,870 --> 00:11:16,590
Well, uh, the invites for the charity
event all went out. What was that?

174
00:11:18,170 --> 00:11:20,430
What? That look.

175
00:11:21,150 --> 00:11:22,150
There was no look?

176
00:11:23,470 --> 00:11:26,630
Okay, you always play with your earring
when you're not telling the truth.

177
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:27,910
Just tell her, Mom.

178
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:28,970
Tell me what?

179
00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:33,210
Well, I don't know if you've seen the
foundation's financial report.

180
00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:34,770
I have been preoccupied.

181
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:42,220
We've been a little overextended this
year and, you know, what with the after

182
00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:43,220
-school baking classes.

183
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:44,300
And the free seniors programs.

184
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:45,800
And other charity donations.

185
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:48,200
We might be in the red.

186
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,860
How much in the red?

187
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,880
From what I've gathered, better than a
poinsettia.

188
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:58,840
But we always find a way to bounce back.

189
00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:03,290
And the bakery is humming along, and I'm
not going to let this stop us from

190
00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:06,590
making as much money as possible at the
charity fundraiser.

191
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:07,810
Which we will.

192
00:12:08,670 --> 00:12:09,670
Okay.

193
00:12:10,830 --> 00:12:15,390
So, your mom tells me that you have been
taking a patisserie class. Oh my gosh.

194
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:16,470
Yes, yes.

195
00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:27,630
Okay, so, cool news. You see the photos
from that recent billionaire space trip?

196
00:12:28,290 --> 00:12:32,820
Amazing. Right? The guy who shot it just
moved to town, like, literally just got

197
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:35,420
here, and we hired him to photograph the
series.

198
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:36,940
What? Why?

199
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,360
Because his fans are a totally different
demo than the readers of Prism and the

200
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,760
users of Take to Heart, so it's kind of
like this perfect Venn diagram of new

201
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,679
potential readers.

202
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:47,280
Okay, do we really need a photographer?

203
00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:49,940
I mean, I think my writing speaks for
itself.

204
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,340
No, not in this day and age of short
attention spans and visual media.

205
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:55,560
We need pics.

206
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:59,350
But, like... cool, edgy, shareable pics
that are likely to get stellar

207
00:12:59,350 --> 00:13:02,790
impressions. Plus, Take to Heart wants
to make sure you're actually going for

208
00:13:02,790 --> 00:13:04,370
it and really holding up your end of the
bargain.

209
00:13:04,590 --> 00:13:07,410
Hey, uh, Jack, can you come in here,
please? This photographer's incredible.

210
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:08,670
You're gonna love him.

211
00:13:12,670 --> 00:13:13,670
You.

212
00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:15,230
And you.

213
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:17,410
You two know each other?

214
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:19,370
Uh, no. No, we... We met.

215
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:24,710
Yesterday. When she tried to stage her
own meet-cute. Okay, no, uh, we...

216
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Kind of meant we didn't really meet me.

217
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:27,840
No, we definitely met.

218
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,280
What's my name?

219
00:13:31,420 --> 00:13:32,420
See, we didn't meet.

220
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,220
What is your name?

221
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,840
Nora. Oh, cute.

222
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:40,660
What a weird thing to say, especially to
a CEO.

223
00:13:41,420 --> 00:13:45,580
This is kind of stellar, right? You guys
already have natural chemistry.

224
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Oh, no, no, we don't. No, I try to have
chemistry with everyone I meet.

225
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Right.

226
00:13:51,420 --> 00:13:52,840
Okay, so, Jack.

227
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,420
You are going to capture Nora's journey
to love by showing the magic of the

228
00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:59,420
season. People love love.

229
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:01,340
People love Christmas.

230
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,980
People love Nora Winters.

231
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,060
I think that we should keep my dates
anonymous.

232
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,540
I mean, if we keep the guys anonymous,
then I think there's a higher

233
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:16,880
probability that I will make a
connection with someone who isn't dating

234
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,880
me for the wrong reason.

235
00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:19,860
Yes, that is why we pay you the big
bucks.

236
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:24,730
Dig it. Okay, so, Jack, you are going to
capture Nora's face in that stellar

237
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,130
style of yours and keep the guys
obscured and anonymous.

238
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:28,850
All right.

239
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:31,850
I am very excited to see what you two
cook up.

240
00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:34,210
I'm free now. You want to get started?

241
00:14:34,430 --> 00:14:36,650
Go. Uh, yeah, yes.

242
00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:44,050
I just, uh, have to, um, find my wallet.
Uh, so

243
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,830
I will see you back here soon.

244
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:51,790
I got a signed Sammy Sosa rookie card.
You want to see it?

245
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:54,590
Uh, sure.

246
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:56,970
What do I do?

247
00:14:57,150 --> 00:14:59,530
He saw me stage my own meet cute.

248
00:14:59,770 --> 00:15:01,570
You're blowing this way out of
proportion.

249
00:15:02,490 --> 00:15:04,650
Adley, he slow clapped.

250
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:07,210
All right, it's not ideal. I'll give you
that.

251
00:15:07,430 --> 00:15:08,650
What other options do you have?

252
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:12,910
Oh, shoot. I gotta run. Taking for the
fundraiser is in full swing.

253
00:15:13,190 --> 00:15:14,830
I love you. I'll talk to you later,
okay?

254
00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:19,910
You find it?

255
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:22,290
My wallet?

256
00:15:22,570 --> 00:15:23,570
No,

257
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:26,170
it's probably in my purse.

258
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:30,950
We have a lot of work to do. We should
probably get started.

259
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:32,330
Sure.

260
00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:38,750
So the way I see it, I will meet
someone, we will go on a few festive

261
00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:42,430
dates, get in the holiday spirit, and
then we can end with this fundraiser

262
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:45,370
that my family does every year that
benefits my mother's bakery and her

263
00:15:45,370 --> 00:15:46,370
charitable foundation.

264
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,880
The fundraiser could serve as the climax
to our column, wrapping up our magical

265
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480
love story with a bow and call it a day.

266
00:15:54,940 --> 00:15:57,100
I think that sounds perfect.

267
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,020
Unrealistic, but perfect.

268
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,420
Perfect's what I'm going for.

269
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Okay.

270
00:16:02,860 --> 00:16:07,340
We'll come back to that. My vision for
the series is high art.

271
00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:08,960
Raw, alter realism.

272
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,120
We need it to feel romantic.

273
00:16:12,010 --> 00:16:16,870
We want the reader to really believe
that I am actually falling in love.

274
00:16:17,530 --> 00:16:19,890
Do you plan on not actually falling in
love?

275
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:23,930
No one has to know. We just need them to
feel like I'm falling in love.

276
00:16:24,390 --> 00:16:29,850
It feels a bit deceptive. Think of it
like writing beautiful fiction.

277
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:36,790
And now, the way I see the style is to
frame it like a classic romance movie.

278
00:16:37,330 --> 00:16:39,210
Give the people something aspiration.

279
00:16:40,490 --> 00:16:42,810
We need real, not fake, aspiration.

280
00:16:43,310 --> 00:16:44,830
Well, it's not fake.

281
00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:49,470
But you just said you don't actually
plan to fall in love, which, for the

282
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:50,490
record, I don't support.

283
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:57,350
So I say we go in the opposite
direction. We go for drama, high impact.

284
00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:00,270
Put yourself out there, you get hurt.
Real.

285
00:17:00,650 --> 00:17:01,650
Raw.

286
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:04,550
You actually think I could fall in love?

287
00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:07,790
I think you have a better chance of
doing so if you come at it with an open

288
00:17:07,790 --> 00:17:10,970
mind. I mean, what are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid of anything, except

289
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:12,670
sharks in storm drains.

290
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:20,270
Right. So, we follow the
back-to-square-one plan from take

291
00:17:20,270 --> 00:17:21,270
to heart, and we should be set.

292
00:17:21,510 --> 00:17:22,510
What is that?

293
00:17:22,930 --> 00:17:25,750
It's for people who want to put
themselves out there but haven't dated

294
00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:26,750
in a while.

295
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:29,030
What makes you think I haven't dated in
a while?

296
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,660
Anyway, I have an idea.

297
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:36,340
Should we get started?

298
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:42,220
We are on a tight deadline, but I am
sure that I... Yes, I have back-to-back

299
00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:45,260
meetings today, so how about tomorrow
morning?

300
00:17:45,620 --> 00:17:46,620
Great. Great.

301
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:48,360
Fine. Fine.

302
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,520
Hey,

303
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,380
Sarah. My favorite client.

304
00:17:58,860 --> 00:18:01,040
This is huge for both you and the
agency.

305
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:03,360
Yeah, yeah, we'll see.

306
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,980
Not sure how real this is going to be.
But have you heard any word back yet on

307
00:18:07,980 --> 00:18:09,720
the proposed exhibition at the Smith and
White Gallery?

308
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Not yet.

309
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,600
However, with this announcement, I do
have some news.

310
00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:20,300
Prisons' rival, Level 11, is keeping a
very close eye on you.

311
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,920
Why? Because they're super competitive
with each other. And Level 11 is looking

312
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,000
to bring on someone full-time.

313
00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:31,620
Ever since they saw the post about you
working with Nora Winters, they have

314
00:18:31,620 --> 00:18:32,820
been chomping at the bit.

315
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,440
You crush this, and you could have more
offers than you know what to do with.

316
00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:39,620
Then maybe Smith and White will give us a
second look.

317
00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:42,020
Maybe. I will follow up with them soon.

318
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:58,100
Dear reader, Christmas is the most...

319
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:05,080
wonderful time of the year but what if
it was also

320
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:11,080
the most wonderful time of the year to
fall in love

321
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:18,080
stay tuned to see if the

322
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:24,860
holiday meet cute is true or a work

323
00:19:24,860 --> 00:19:25,860
of

324
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:50,490
You're late.

325
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:52,650
Time is just a construct.

326
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:55,850
And infuriating. One of my better
qualities.

327
00:19:56,210 --> 00:19:57,210
Right.

328
00:19:57,970 --> 00:20:01,350
Look, I'm sorry. My nephew's staying
with me for the holidays. He lost his

329
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:02,350
shoes. He?

330
00:20:03,170 --> 00:20:04,170
Anyway, you're right.

331
00:20:04,490 --> 00:20:07,530
I should have let you know I was
running, literally running behind.

332
00:20:08,270 --> 00:20:09,270
Hmm.

333
00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:10,950
Name's Kyle.

334
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:12,450
He's my half-sister's son.

335
00:20:12,890 --> 00:20:13,970
He loses everything.

336
00:20:14,390 --> 00:20:15,390
Do you want to know where his shoe was?

337
00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:17,630
On the ceiling fan.

338
00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:21,550
How does a fifth grader get a shoe on a
ceiling fan in the first place? Okay, I

339
00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:23,170
believe you, kind of.

340
00:20:23,470 --> 00:20:24,470
Let's go.

341
00:20:24,810 --> 00:20:25,810
After you.

342
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:32,590
This is the surprise?

343
00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:34,370
I love this place.

344
00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:37,770
You've been here before? Well, then it
doesn't fit the brief.

345
00:20:37,990 --> 00:20:39,070
Oh, I think it's perfect.

346
00:20:39,490 --> 00:20:41,270
Huh. Let the mingling begin.

347
00:20:46,170 --> 00:20:47,330
And you have...

348
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:48,630
How many cats?

349
00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:57,990
Uh, no. I don't think I could see myself
living in a bunker full time.

350
00:21:00,790 --> 00:21:04,750
And that's, um, whose hair?

351
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:11,870
This isn't working.

352
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:13,750
I don't disagree with you.

353
00:21:14,090 --> 00:21:16,810
How many times have you been at this
Christmas market over the years?

354
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Quite a few.

355
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,800
Exactly. The take to heart step says to
meet someone outside your comfort zone.

356
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,520
This is, well, seems to be well within
your comfort zone.

357
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,780
You think that's the reason that I'm not
meeting anybody here?

358
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:31,520
I think you're not following the
instructions on the app.

359
00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:35,560
Look, I know you said you're going to
write fiction, but isn't fiction better

360
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,100
if it's based in reality just a little
bit?

361
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,640
What would you suggest?

362
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:51,220
I didn't know they had skating in here.

363
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,440
This is the same place that my family
holds their Christmas fundraiser every

364
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,680
year. Okay.

365
00:21:57,460 --> 00:21:58,480
We need a new place.

366
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,180
Oh, no. No, I can confidently say that
skating is outside of my comfort zone.

367
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,140
Perfect. And the light's great in here.

368
00:22:05,380 --> 00:22:07,140
Well, go run some skates and get out
there.

369
00:22:07,420 --> 00:22:09,300
You only have a few days left to fall in
love, right?

370
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,319
You gonna be okay?

371
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,440
Yeah. Yeah, just need to get my sea
legs.

372
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:35,260
I got this.

373
00:22:35,820 --> 00:22:36,820
You sure?

374
00:22:37,820 --> 00:22:39,160
Just get your shot.

375
00:22:43,340 --> 00:22:44,900
You've got great technique.

376
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,740
Those are some serious skates. I totally
agree.

377
00:23:00,660 --> 00:23:02,200
Are they custom?

378
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,440
Yes. Oh, neat. Where'd you get them?

379
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:07,300
Uh-huh.

380
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,840
I'll meet you guys later.

381
00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:15,020
Oh! Oh!

382
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,700
Oh, I'm so sorry.

383
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:18,859
No, it's fine.

384
00:23:18,860 --> 00:23:19,860
Are you okay?

385
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:20,960
I am.

386
00:23:21,180 --> 00:23:22,180
Great.

387
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,980
I got you.

388
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,060
Oh, we're doing good.

389
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,100
Thanks for skating with me.

390
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,600
It's not bad.

391
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,820
That was surprisingly fun.

392
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,360
I'd love to do it again sometime.

393
00:23:48,300 --> 00:23:49,800
I'm actually seeing someone.

394
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,920
Have a Merry Christmas.

395
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:57,560
Well, that could have gone better.

396
00:23:59,020 --> 00:24:00,460
Yeah, right? Ouch.

397
00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:02,860
Yeah, he was never into you.

398
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,460
Why did he skate with me?

399
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,620
Because he was just trying to be nice.
You were kind of desperate.

400
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,240
I'm not desperate.

401
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,140
I'm not that desperate.

402
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,160
The photos look great.

403
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,060
I'm going to grab something from the
snack bar.

404
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:18,059
You want anything?

405
00:24:18,060 --> 00:24:21,940
No, I'm just going to return these
skates. I'll meet you back here.

406
00:24:31,150 --> 00:24:32,150
Is this seat taken?

407
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:35,010
Oh, no, not taken in the slightest.

408
00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:40,110
Have you been here before?

409
00:24:40,890 --> 00:24:41,890
First time.

410
00:24:41,910 --> 00:24:43,230
You? First time.

411
00:24:43,450 --> 00:24:46,090
Yeah, not as brave as I was as a kid.

412
00:24:46,370 --> 00:24:47,370
Right? Yeah.

413
00:24:47,550 --> 00:24:48,590
Fear of falling.

414
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:50,550
None at all. Oh, no.

415
00:24:53,870 --> 00:24:56,430
Leo. Oh, Nora.

416
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:57,910
Nice to meet you.

417
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:07,920
This might sound a little crazy, but
it's the holidays, right?

418
00:25:09,940 --> 00:25:11,560
Would you like to get a drink sometime?

419
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,480
That doesn't sound crazy at all.

420
00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:17,880
I would love that.

421
00:25:20,380 --> 00:25:21,560
My number's on the back.

422
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,540
Just text me and we'll set something up.

423
00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:27,460
Cool.

424
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,120
It was nice to meet you. Nice to meet
you too, Leo.

425
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,560
Now that's what I'm talking about.

426
00:25:37,580 --> 00:25:38,580
What?

427
00:25:38,980 --> 00:25:40,080
Is that him already?

428
00:25:40,660 --> 00:25:41,700
That's a good sign.

429
00:25:42,780 --> 00:25:45,360
Yeah, he asked me out for tomorrow.

430
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:47,840
Great. Still think you need a backup?

431
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:49,380
What? Why?

432
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,860
He just asked me out.

433
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,860
You need insurance this series will
work, right?

434
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:57,140
So humor me.

435
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,140
A former colleague of mine is having a
Christmas mixer tonight. Come by, have a

436
00:26:03,140 --> 00:26:08,370
drink. Meet someone who could be your
backup in case option one here isn't

437
00:26:08,370 --> 00:26:09,370
actually the one.

438
00:26:09,630 --> 00:26:12,410
Okay, well, I don't believe in the one.

439
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:15,990
Says the woman famous for writing a
dating column.

440
00:26:16,370 --> 00:26:17,370
Huh.

441
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:20,110
Pick you up at eight.

442
00:26:29,510 --> 00:26:35,650
Dear reader, I am... surprised to report
that the

443
00:26:35,650 --> 00:26:39,370
holiday meet cute might have worked.

444
00:26:40,570 --> 00:26:44,570
I met someone out of my comfort zone.

445
00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:49,270
We'll call him Mr. L.

446
00:26:49,790 --> 00:26:56,530
Will he be the romantic connection that
this writer is seeking this

447
00:26:56,530 --> 00:26:57,950
holiday season or

448
00:26:59,310 --> 00:27:04,410
Will he be the proverbial lump of coal
in my stocking?

449
00:27:10,330 --> 00:27:13,330
I'm just worried about him. It's
Christmas. We're not together.

450
00:27:13,910 --> 00:27:14,910
It's going fine.

451
00:27:15,130 --> 00:27:17,970
He's signed the kid up for enough
holiday activities to fill his whole

452
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:18,829
winter break.

453
00:27:18,830 --> 00:27:21,650
Well, that's the idea, to keep him
entertained and you sane.

454
00:27:21,970 --> 00:27:24,130
I know how hard it can be moving to a
new city.

455
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,630
How are things at the hospital,
Superwoman?

456
00:27:27,140 --> 00:27:28,900
chaotic and short-staffed.

457
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:30,400
Well, they're lucky to have you.

458
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:35,020
Oh, I'm sorry. They're paging me. I got
to run. But I'm going to text you my

459
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:37,140
Christmas plans, and I'll let you know
if I can make it, OK?

460
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:38,559
Sounds good.

461
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,560
I love you. Bye.

462
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:47,760
What?

463
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Did you forget how to roll out dough?

464
00:27:54,140 --> 00:27:58,100
It's been a while since rolling in dough
is part of my day-to-day activities.

465
00:27:58,360 --> 00:27:59,360
I can tell.

466
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,840
So I went online and I saw Jack, and he
is cute and single.

467
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:09,040
And mildly infuriating and full of
himself.

468
00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:12,380
But I saw the post. You said you met
someone.

469
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:14,740
Yeah, in theory.

470
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:19,980
As long as the board and Take to Heart
believe I'm really falling in love, who

471
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:21,420
cares if I fluff it up a little bit?

472
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,380
They want a good story, I'm going to
give them a good story.

473
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,780
Hey, Max, what can I do for you?

474
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:30,920
Take to heart, just sent notes on your
article.

475
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,840
That roller rink bit, that was cute on
brand.

476
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:37,800
And they love that fail with the first
guy. That was actually super real.

477
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,700
But they do have some tweaks.

478
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:41,820
Oh, do they?

479
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,580
Look, Nora, I know that you and I don't
always see eye to eye, but I am on your

480
00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:48,580
team here.

481
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,620
You built Prism from the ground up.

482
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:54,150
And while I agree that there need to be
some changes, I believe that you should

483
00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:55,150
be a part of them.

484
00:28:56,010 --> 00:29:00,370
However, for this series to work and for
the crossover of users to happen, I need

485
00:29:00,370 --> 00:29:02,190
to know what you're feeling, not just
what's happening.

486
00:29:02,470 --> 00:29:04,890
You know, give me gritty, real, honest.

487
00:29:05,670 --> 00:29:07,050
Give me the old Laura Winters.

488
00:29:08,010 --> 00:29:09,010
Okay?

489
00:29:09,390 --> 00:29:10,390
I gotta bounce.

490
00:29:12,410 --> 00:29:13,530
I agree with him.

491
00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:16,990
I think you really gotta open up if this
is gonna work.

492
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,780
How many of these snowmen cookie do we
have to make? For the fundraiser, about

493
00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:21,780
a hundred.

494
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,520
What, you got soft on me?

495
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,920
I admit, I am a bit out of practice.

496
00:29:26,260 --> 00:29:27,260
Oh.

497
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:37,020
Hey, guys.

498
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:40,500
Oh.

499
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,100
Hey, how you doing?

500
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Very kind words.

501
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,240
Hey,

502
00:29:59,420 --> 00:30:00,680
I just need to do a quick lap.

503
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,280
Sure, yeah, yeah, whatever.

504
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,660
Do whatever you need to do.

505
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,560
Are you sure? I just don't want to bail
on you since you don't know anyone.

506
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,400
You're not bailing. Not at all.

507
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,520
Why are you acting weird?

508
00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:16,380
I'm not acting weird. Not me, no.

509
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Not weird.

510
00:30:19,740 --> 00:30:21,000
Okay. Meet back here in 20?

511
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:22,440
10-4, good buddy.

512
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,480
Yeah, that was weird.

513
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,880
I'm so sorry.

514
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,740
I didn't know anybody was in here.

515
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,920
I'm Jeffrey.

516
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Nora.

517
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,520
And I never played another game of mini
golf again in my life.

518
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:23,420
It just flew right out of his hands. It
was incredible.

519
00:31:30,450 --> 00:31:31,450
Excuse me.

520
00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:34,970
I am so sorry.

521
00:31:35,770 --> 00:31:37,090
I'm going to have to go.

522
00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:42,150
Okay. But I would love to take you out
sometime, you know, if you'd like.

523
00:31:43,330 --> 00:31:44,450
I would love that.

524
00:31:45,330 --> 00:31:48,430
Have you ever been to Gregson's
Christmas Market?

525
00:31:49,390 --> 00:31:51,810
No, but it sounds magical.

526
00:31:52,150 --> 00:31:53,870
Oh, it is.

527
00:32:04,940 --> 00:32:07,920
It is so nice to meet you. Oh, you too.

528
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:14,380
Jack.

529
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Jack.

530
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,480
Excuse me.

531
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:23,140
So, it looks like you found a very
photogenic insurance policy, I see.

532
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Oh, aren't you sneaky.

533
00:32:26,540 --> 00:32:27,519
That's fantastic.

534
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,520
We can definitely use that.

535
00:32:29,060 --> 00:32:32,160
Which leads me to, I should go home.
I'll walk you.

536
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,500
I am all the way across town.

537
00:32:34,910 --> 00:32:35,950
I love the subway.

538
00:32:36,870 --> 00:32:37,870
Okay.

539
00:32:41,750 --> 00:32:43,510
So, this fundraiser thing.

540
00:32:43,870 --> 00:32:48,670
Oh, well, my parents started it to raise
money to give back to the community.

541
00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:56,090
They offered all these free programs,
baking lessons for kids, senior events.

542
00:32:56,650 --> 00:33:00,790
And so now my sister, she still does the
thing once a year.

543
00:33:01,170 --> 00:33:05,330
And the funds that they raise, well,
pretty much... Covers the whole thing.

544
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:11,350
I used to be really involved, but as
PRISM grew, I just couldn't juggle it

545
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:12,350
all.

546
00:33:12,370 --> 00:33:13,370
Sounds important.

547
00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:16,530
Look, I have some ideas for dates that I
want to run by you, and I think they're

548
00:33:16,530 --> 00:33:17,610
fully take-to-heart approved.

549
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:21,410
How about bowling?

550
00:33:24,130 --> 00:33:27,470
No, I do not think bowling is on brand
for PRISM.

551
00:33:28,010 --> 00:33:31,350
How about volunteering in a soup
kitchen?

552
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:33,310
Oh, terrible lighting.

553
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,000
But I do fully support the cause.

554
00:33:36,060 --> 00:33:37,880
What about Christmas karaoke?

555
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,140
Absolutely not.

556
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,720
We are going to have to settle this like
adults.

557
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,120
All right.

558
00:33:49,460 --> 00:33:52,120
That's your version of settling
something like an adult.

559
00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:53,740
Yeah. Isn't it yours?

560
00:33:53,940 --> 00:33:55,260
On three? On three.

561
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,060
One, two, three. Ah-ha!

562
00:34:00,780 --> 00:34:04,440
Christmas market it is. It's festive, it
has amazing lighting, so you'll like

563
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,580
that. Plus, we already know our way
around the place. It'll be the perfect

564
00:34:07,580 --> 00:34:08,580
date.

565
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,040
This is me.

566
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:16,000
Thank you for getting me home.

567
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Happy to.

568
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,600
Meet me tomorrow morning at the bakery?

569
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,480
Sounds like a plan.

570
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,239
Who is that?

571
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,380
That's a woman I'm working with.

572
00:34:38,739 --> 00:34:39,739
She's pretty.

573
00:34:40,139 --> 00:34:43,020
I like... that one.

574
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:45,760
Yeah, me too, little man.

575
00:34:47,179 --> 00:34:48,480
Can I call mom before bed?

576
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Oof.

577
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,260
She's probably still at work, but we can
give her a try.

578
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,380
Adults are always at work.

579
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,480
How about this?

580
00:34:58,730 --> 00:35:01,990
I have to visit a Christmas tree farm
tomorrow. What do you say you play hooky

581
00:35:01,990 --> 00:35:05,470
and come with me? We could even start
the day with all-you-can-eat pancakes at

582
00:35:05,470 --> 00:35:06,470
the diner.

583
00:35:07,530 --> 00:35:08,530
All right.

584
00:35:11,010 --> 00:35:11,450
Dear

585
00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:20,150
reader,

586
00:35:20,370 --> 00:35:25,490
this writer can confirm for you that
yes...

587
00:35:26,510 --> 00:35:32,410
People are way more willing to be open
to you if you

588
00:35:32,410 --> 00:35:35,450
put yourself out of your comfort zone.

589
00:35:36,330 --> 00:35:43,250
But is it the holiday season or is it
just that I am

590
00:35:43,250 --> 00:35:49,750
finally putting myself out there for the
first time in a very long time?

591
00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:13,710
I have a plan.

592
00:36:13,850 --> 00:36:14,850
Okay.

593
00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:18,170
I might have told everyone that you were
working with the space photographer guy,

594
00:36:18,350 --> 00:36:23,170
and that he's going to be at the
fundraiser, and that Prism is going to

595
00:36:23,170 --> 00:36:27,230
do a write-up on the bakery, and that if
people come to the Christmas charity

596
00:36:27,230 --> 00:36:32,150
event, that they could maybe get a
chance to be featured in your column.

597
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:37,510
Well, that is not a bad plan. I just
wish you'd asked me before you told the

598
00:36:37,510 --> 00:36:38,510
whole town.

599
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:42,170
Okay, yes. Thank you. And if anything
changes...

600
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:43,640
Please, just let us know.

601
00:36:44,260 --> 00:36:45,260
Hey.

602
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,120
Hi. You must be Kyle.

603
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:49,200
I'm Nora. Nice to meet you.

604
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,800
Hi. And you must be Jack, the famed
Jack.

605
00:36:53,220 --> 00:36:55,960
Uncle Jack and I went for pancakes this
morning before the apartment went

606
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,960
underwater.

607
00:36:57,420 --> 00:36:58,420
What?

608
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,160
It was a small leak turned into a
literal flood.

609
00:37:01,580 --> 00:37:03,560
Yeah, we don't know when we can get back
in.

610
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,440
And I'm currently on the hunt for a
hotel room for us, but as it's close to

611
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,580
Christmas... You can stay with us.

612
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,900
I mean, we're just up the road, and
we've got plenty of room at the

613
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:13,900
Metaphorical Inn.

614
00:37:14,220 --> 00:37:15,400
Do you have a Christmas tree?

615
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,680
A big one.

616
00:37:17,380 --> 00:37:18,980
I'm sure they have other offers.

617
00:37:19,820 --> 00:37:21,620
Well, actually, we don't.

618
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,180
Uncle Jack, can we please... From what
I've read online, you're relatively new

619
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:29,420
to the city, so... Are you a stalker
now?

620
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,060
I am new to the city, and my family's
all out west, so... No one should be

621
00:37:34,060 --> 00:37:35,880
without their family during the
holidays.

622
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,320
I insist.

623
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:40,220
Okay? Plus, I could use some help baking
cookies for Santa.

624
00:37:40,540 --> 00:37:42,980
It was very nice to meet you, Kyle and
Jack.

625
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,260
Nora will give you my address and I'll
see you soon.

626
00:37:47,940 --> 00:37:50,880
Well, your sister is very generous.

627
00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:52,280
That she is.

628
00:37:53,620 --> 00:37:54,620
We should go.

629
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,240
Well, that looks like fun.

630
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:09,500
You want to join them?

631
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,160
All right.

632
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:15,120
So, where's your guy?

633
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:16,620
Option A.

634
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,120
His name is Leo, and he is no longer an
option.

635
00:38:22,140 --> 00:38:24,500
So I was right. You did need insurance.

636
00:38:26,180 --> 00:38:28,120
Wait, does that mean no one is coming?

637
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:32,280
Jeffrey was gonna come, and he asked for
a recheck, too.

638
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:38,080
Can we at least look at the trees?

639
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,440
Please?

640
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:41,840
I do still need content.

641
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:43,620
But your date's not here.

642
00:38:44,020 --> 00:38:48,340
I don't have to actually go on a date to
write about a date. Fiction, remember?

643
00:38:49,060 --> 00:38:52,800
What do you say we try to find the
tallest Christmas tree?

644
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,040
Flashcards? Oh, you did not.

645
00:39:02,380 --> 00:39:03,600
They help me stay organized.

646
00:39:04,140 --> 00:39:05,140
For a date?

647
00:39:05,610 --> 00:39:06,610
For the column.

648
00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:13,110
How is a woman like you single? I mean,
you are incredibly successful,

649
00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:14,750
conventionally attractive.

650
00:39:16,090 --> 00:39:19,630
Thanks. I meant that as a compliment.
Okay.

651
00:39:20,570 --> 00:39:25,930
Well, actually, I was married, briefly,
a long time ago, to a fantastic guy.

652
00:39:27,250 --> 00:39:32,490
But it was right when Prism was getting
some traction, and I wanted to grow

653
00:39:32,490 --> 00:39:35,170
that, and he wanted to move to a farm.

654
00:39:35,610 --> 00:39:38,230
and have a big family and live off the
land.

655
00:39:39,550 --> 00:39:43,690
Yeah, we really loved each other, but we
just weren't a good fit.

656
00:39:44,650 --> 00:39:48,810
So after that, prison started to take
off.

657
00:39:50,570 --> 00:39:52,890
So what about you? You ever been
married?

658
00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:55,890
No, no.

659
00:39:56,250 --> 00:39:57,630
Engaged twice.

660
00:39:59,310 --> 00:40:02,930
Both times I literally put everything
ahead of her and it cost me everything.

661
00:40:03,010 --> 00:40:04,570
It's part of the reason for the career
change.

662
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:07,680
I mean, life's too short.

663
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,660
I want to experience as much love and
joy as I can while I'm here.

664
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:14,700
Do you miss writing?

665
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:16,920
Sometimes,

666
00:40:17,460 --> 00:40:18,460
I guess.

667
00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:23,420
But I don't miss baring my soul on the
internet only to be trolled for it.

668
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,380
Says the woman writing a dating column.

669
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:27,820
No, that was not my choice.

670
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,260
I just need the readers to believe that
I am falling in love.

671
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,580
And then the board won't vote me out of
CEO.

672
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,960
No pressure.

673
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,980
No, none at all.

674
00:40:42,700 --> 00:40:43,700
Isn't it perfect?

675
00:40:43,780 --> 00:40:44,780
We need it.

676
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:47,900
Kyle, why did you pick this tree?

677
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,780
Because it's tiny and funny looking.

678
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,060
And I was worried everybody would want
the big fluffier trees.

679
00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,540
And I didn't want this one to be lonely.
So I think we should take it home.

680
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,760
Do you think your sister would like this
Christmas tree?

681
00:41:00,859 --> 00:41:03,900
Kyle, I think she would love it. Yes!

682
00:41:07,260 --> 00:41:09,320
How long is he staying with you?

683
00:41:10,260 --> 00:41:11,260
Until the new year.

684
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,940
My half-sister Olivia, she's a single
mother ER doctor back in Boston, and she

685
00:41:16,940 --> 00:41:20,140
needed a little help this season, so I
offered to take Kyle for a few weeks.

686
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,100
That's nice of you.

687
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,240
It's the least I can do. She's the one
saving lives.

688
00:41:24,540 --> 00:41:28,420
Well, if she comes to town, she is more
than welcome to the fundraiser.

689
00:41:29,070 --> 00:41:30,850
I'll extend the invite. Thank you.

690
00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:34,790
Uncle Jack, can we get hot cocoa after
this?

691
00:41:36,750 --> 00:41:39,150
I would never turn down hot cocoa.

692
00:41:39,590 --> 00:41:40,590
Yes.

693
00:41:48,130 --> 00:41:51,070
All right, I just finished my last gift
for the Michelson family.

694
00:41:52,110 --> 00:41:53,110
Anyone need help?

695
00:41:53,310 --> 00:41:55,610
I just started on the Smiths gifts. Give
me one.

696
00:41:56,570 --> 00:41:58,070
So do you guys do this every year?

697
00:41:58,460 --> 00:41:59,600
Sponsored this many families?

698
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,180
Well, Nora actually started the
tradition.

699
00:42:02,380 --> 00:42:03,500
Oh, we started it together.

700
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,220
So, Jack, why don't you tell us about
yourself?

701
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,500
We know you're a photographer.

702
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,120
Your photos are wonderful.

703
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,400
Thank you. It was actually quite a
career change.

704
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:18,120
What did you do before?

705
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Corporate finance.

706
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,360
Yeah, I worked for the same company for
three decades. But my grandfather,

707
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,080
Franklin Peterson, he was a
photographer.

708
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:28,380
You did wildlife photography, right?

709
00:42:28,940 --> 00:42:29,960
Taught me everything I know.

710
00:42:31,180 --> 00:42:33,020
But you went to corporate finance
anyway?

711
00:42:33,580 --> 00:42:34,580
I took a safer route.

712
00:42:35,700 --> 00:42:39,380
But one day it was like I woke up and I
realized that my life was flying by and

713
00:42:39,380 --> 00:42:43,880
I hadn't done all the things that I
really wanted to do. I was too afraid to

714
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:44,799
do.

715
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,800
So I quit.

716
00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:50,520
I packed my bags, I bought a new camera,
and I traveled around the world taking

717
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,400
photographs of all those places I'd seen
as screensavers.

718
00:42:54,340 --> 00:42:55,440
That's pretty adventurous.

719
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,940
You wouldn't recognize me in my finance
days.

720
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:01,420
You like this version better?

721
00:43:02,660 --> 00:43:03,780
Most of the time.

722
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,280
More so now.

723
00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:08,800
And the column is going well?

724
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,700
It's a... Off to... A start.

725
00:43:17,580 --> 00:43:18,860
It's a solid start.

726
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:24,220
Okay. I mean, I met a guy, and it's
going well.

727
00:43:38,810 --> 00:43:42,710
Nora, don't forget to stop by the train
museum to drop off the deposit for our

728
00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:45,350
space. We have to get it in by 4 p.m. or
we lose the location.

729
00:43:45,670 --> 00:43:46,730
Okay. Thank you.

730
00:43:49,590 --> 00:43:50,590
Night in, Nora.

731
00:43:54,690 --> 00:43:58,310
So, what's the plan? Because your guys
keep bailing.

732
00:43:59,070 --> 00:44:02,150
My guys don't keep bailing. They keep
rain checking.

733
00:44:03,150 --> 00:44:07,130
Which, based on my call, nobody would
know. So, well, kind of.

734
00:44:08,790 --> 00:44:11,730
What have you got to lose? I mean, if
you really put yourself out there.

735
00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:16,090
Nothing other than being mocked,
ridiculed, never taken seriously again?

736
00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:18,030
Well, I'm here to help.

737
00:44:18,490 --> 00:44:19,490
If you need me.

738
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:23,510
I mean, I know how much this series
means to you, so if I can help, then I

739
00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:24,510
want to.

740
00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:27,650
You're going to help me lie to my
readers.

741
00:44:28,210 --> 00:44:31,530
I read that piece you wrote on Kyle and
the Tree. That wasn't a lie.

742
00:44:32,310 --> 00:44:34,950
And you encouraged us dear readers.

743
00:44:36,410 --> 00:44:41,310
to do a small act of kindness this
holiday season so consider this mine it

744
00:44:41,310 --> 00:44:47,550
is the most wonderful time of the year
after all well that is very com thank

745
00:44:47,550 --> 00:44:54,190
you and have a good night at my sister's
house

746
00:44:54,190 --> 00:44:56,090
which will never not be weird

747
00:45:06,730 --> 00:45:12,490
Dear reader, Christmas is a few days
away, and there is a new candidate, Mr.

748
00:45:12,730 --> 00:45:19,030
G, who, after a bumpy start, I am
finally going to get to spend some one

749
00:45:19,030 --> 00:45:20,030
-on-one time with.

750
00:45:20,650 --> 00:45:25,150
Now, I'm not saying that this writer is
no longer a skeptic, because I can

751
00:45:25,150 --> 00:45:32,090
assure you, I still am, but... Be

752
00:45:32,090 --> 00:45:33,510
honest.

753
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,200
Christmas can be a challenging time.

754
00:45:45,260 --> 00:45:47,260
For me, it is.

755
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:57,360
This experiment has offered me more
bites of the apple,

756
00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:01,680
if you will, than I have had in a long
time.

757
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,400
Will that lead to love?

758
00:46:06,890 --> 00:46:08,510
That is yet to be determined.

759
00:46:14,210 --> 00:46:16,390
Okay, everybody, listen up, all right?

760
00:46:16,850 --> 00:46:22,090
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the
annual Winters Family Snowman Building

761
00:46:22,090 --> 00:46:23,090
Contest.

762
00:46:24,030 --> 00:46:30,550
Unfortunately, Clark got stuck at the
bakery, so Kyle, you, and Lola are gonna

763
00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:34,190
be against Jack and Aunt Nora, and I am
gonna be the ref.

764
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:40,860
Whoever builds the best snowman with
full facial features wins.

765
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,800
And for the record, I never lose.

766
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:44,420
I like that attitude.

767
00:46:44,740 --> 00:46:49,400
Okay, on your mark, get set, go!

768
00:47:04,780 --> 00:47:05,780
Looking good guys!

769
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:08,740
Nice

770
00:47:08,740 --> 00:47:17,740
try.

771
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:18,819
Nice try.

772
00:47:18,820 --> 00:47:19,920
Gotta staple it too.

773
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:21,399
Yeah.

774
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Time's up!

775
00:47:49,390 --> 00:47:55,470
You guys only won because we let them

776
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:13,300
Well, see for yourself.

777
00:48:14,740 --> 00:48:16,600
Oh, she's done.

778
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:17,960
She's done.

779
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,780
Oh, that looks fun.

780
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:24,460
Listen, I don't think I'm going to be
making it down tonight.

781
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:28,120
Come on. We still have a few days left
till Christmas.

782
00:48:29,100 --> 00:48:31,760
Yes, and I'm going to try to make it
work, but we're going to need a

783
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,638
Christmas miracle.

784
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,120
We're really short-staffed.

785
00:48:34,540 --> 00:48:35,540
Well, don't worry.

786
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,920
Cows and good, very festive hands.

787
00:48:41,930 --> 00:48:42,930
You look happy.

788
00:48:43,890 --> 00:48:45,010
You know what? I am.

789
00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:48,110
And I think I want to make this a family
tradition.

790
00:48:48,670 --> 00:48:51,850
What? Sleeping over at your co-worker's
sister's house?

791
00:48:52,650 --> 00:48:53,650
Uh, no.

792
00:48:54,110 --> 00:48:55,690
Us spending family time together.

793
00:48:56,390 --> 00:48:59,650
I feel like we're seriously lagging in
the family traditions department.

794
00:49:00,230 --> 00:49:01,370
Yeah, I would like that.

795
00:49:02,210 --> 00:49:04,550
Oh, listen, I gotta go. Love ya. Bye.

796
00:49:07,170 --> 00:49:08,170
Oh,

797
00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:09,950
nice one.

798
00:49:10,230 --> 00:49:11,230
Winning snowman!

799
00:49:13,259 --> 00:49:16,660
Hey, Kyle, do you want to come with me
to the bakery? We're meeting my dad to

800
00:49:16,660 --> 00:49:18,320
finish up some baking for our booth at
the fundraiser.

801
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:23,080
Uncle Jack, can we go too?

802
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,920
Oh,

803
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,820
I've got something else I've got to do.
Nora, don't forget to drop off the

804
00:49:28,820 --> 00:49:31,580
deposit at the train museum. Larry is
going to meet you there at 4.

805
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:32,800
I'll see you later.

806
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:34,578
Come on, kiddo.

807
00:49:34,580 --> 00:49:35,580
Bye.

808
00:49:37,450 --> 00:49:41,390
She cares, man. I know. I just wish
she'd be a bit more present, is all. You

809
00:49:41,390 --> 00:49:43,670
know, holidays are about spending time
with family.

810
00:49:44,410 --> 00:49:46,490
Not trying to cram in as much work as
possible.

811
00:49:46,750 --> 00:49:47,750
I know.

812
00:49:50,790 --> 00:49:52,690
Okay, Max, what is going on?

813
00:49:52,930 --> 00:49:54,710
You might want to sit down for this.

814
00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:56,070
I

815
00:49:56,070 --> 00:50:03,870
know

816
00:50:03,870 --> 00:50:05,110
this whole...

817
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,340
How to fall in love by Christmas thing
is kind of your worst nightmare, but I

818
00:50:09,340 --> 00:50:11,480
think it's kind of great.

819
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:18,100
You and Jack, you're creating something
that's unique, compelling, and kind of

820
00:50:18,100 --> 00:50:19,100
beautiful.

821
00:50:20,660 --> 00:50:22,820
Why do you look like you're going to
pass out?

822
00:50:23,260 --> 00:50:24,440
Because I don't think it's enough.

823
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,860
It's the board, Nora.

824
00:50:29,540 --> 00:50:30,660
CEO evaluation.

825
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,720
They're putting measures in place to
vote you out.

826
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,820
I guess the take-to-heart deal is a bit
shaky after the low engagement.

827
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,580
Why are you telling me this?

828
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:44,420
Because I don't agree with the direction
they want to take Prism in.

829
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,440
Yeah, of course.

830
00:50:49,860 --> 00:50:51,520
So, what do you think?

831
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,360
These are just phenomenal.

832
00:50:54,820 --> 00:50:56,300
Some of your best work yet, Jack.

833
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,300
Well, I'm glad the photography's
authentic because not everything is.

834
00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:01,720
What do you mean?

835
00:51:01,930 --> 00:51:05,150
This whole falling in love thing, I
don't know how real it is.

836
00:51:06,050 --> 00:51:10,930
Well, with work like this, there is no
doubt Prism is going to be offering you

837
00:51:10,930 --> 00:51:11,930
that photography contract.

838
00:51:12,170 --> 00:51:13,310
Get you that home base.

839
00:51:13,630 --> 00:51:17,330
When I said that, I meant a gallery, not
another website.

840
00:51:17,850 --> 00:51:20,790
Another website pays quite a lot of
money.

841
00:51:21,170 --> 00:51:22,670
I don't want to give up on the gallery.

842
00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:28,610
I am going to keep working on it. In the
meantime, you keep killing it like this,

843
00:51:28,610 --> 00:51:31,620
and you are going to have a... a lot of
offers to choose from.

844
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:34,120
I'm gonna follow up with level 11 right
now.

845
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:35,440
Talk soon.

846
00:51:38,140 --> 00:51:39,140
Hi,

847
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:42,560
yeah, this is Sarah Miller.

848
00:51:43,220 --> 00:51:47,640
Look, I have some information I would
just love to share with you about Jack's

849
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,560
assignment with Nora Winters over at
Prism.

850
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,460
Apparently there is some fabrication
going on.

851
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,300
So what do we do?

852
00:51:57,740 --> 00:52:00,600
We find a way to prove to the board that
their motion shouldn't go forward.

853
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,220
Haven't they already made up their
minds?

854
00:52:02,460 --> 00:52:05,260
They still need a majority vote.
Christine, she's on the fence.

855
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,100
Nora? We can fix this. And the way we're
going to do it is through your column.

856
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:46,960
I need some advice.

857
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,880
Can you meet me at the Christmas market?
Hot cocoa's on me.

858
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,120
So... Take to Heart isn't thrilled with
the content, and the prison board is

859
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,040
actively talking about replacing me.

860
00:53:05,620 --> 00:53:06,620
Okay.

861
00:53:07,380 --> 00:53:09,580
Have you ever done a SWAT analysis
before?

862
00:53:10,220 --> 00:53:13,300
Uh, strength, weaknesses...

863
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:15,279
Opportunities threats.

864
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:21,040
Um, yeah, I've done one for my business,
but I've never done it for myself Okay

865
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:26,460
strengths as a CEO I

866
00:53:26,460 --> 00:53:33,240
Am hard-working trustworthy

867
00:53:33,240 --> 00:53:39,100
independent I Founded a company and grew
it to what it is today

868
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:42,040
And your weaknesses

869
00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:53,650
can be narrow-minded to a fault.

870
00:53:56,190 --> 00:54:02,750
You know, we spend our whole lives
trying

871
00:54:02,750 --> 00:54:07,650
to be something, trying to do something,
trying to achieve something.

872
00:54:09,210 --> 00:54:16,050
And, I mean, in the end, this is all
that matters.

873
00:54:17,230 --> 00:54:19,470
This old-fashioned human connection.

874
00:54:20,590 --> 00:54:23,830
Which, I would say, is your opportunity.

875
00:54:26,370 --> 00:54:27,670
And my threat?

876
00:54:28,770 --> 00:54:29,770
Hmm.

877
00:54:30,350 --> 00:54:36,590
That if I don't do this, everything I
built, my lifestyle brand, by women, for

878
00:54:36,590 --> 00:54:39,650
women, to empower women, is just gone.

879
00:54:41,210 --> 00:54:42,530
You know...

880
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,220
I wouldn't even mind bringing in the
younger readers.

881
00:54:47,580 --> 00:54:52,600
I just don't want to lose the connection
we have with the ones that are already

882
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,480
there. I think we're looking at another
opportunity here.

883
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,280
I know it's scary to push yourself out
there, but think of all the women who

884
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,660
could relate to your journey of opening
up your heart again. Partnership would

885
00:55:04,660 --> 00:55:05,660
take to heart or not.

886
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,620
So I dug a little deeper on your work.

887
00:55:13,710 --> 00:55:15,830
Oh, yeah? What did you think?

888
00:55:16,230 --> 00:55:20,290
You have a very unique eye.

889
00:55:21,450 --> 00:55:22,730
Was that a compliment?

890
00:55:23,230 --> 00:55:24,810
It was more of a statement.

891
00:55:25,670 --> 00:55:26,830
Was that a laugh?

892
00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:29,890
More of a positive emotional reaction.

893
00:55:34,070 --> 00:55:35,070
Look,

894
00:55:37,510 --> 00:55:39,430
I know this isn't easy.

895
00:55:40,010 --> 00:55:42,910
But you're embracing the challenge. I
think if you lean into the Christmas

896
00:55:42,910 --> 00:55:47,650
spirit just a little bit more, you might
find exactly what you're looking for.

897
00:55:53,230 --> 00:55:57,590
Whoa, that was... Oh, no.

898
00:55:58,050 --> 00:55:59,190
No way.

899
00:55:59,830 --> 00:56:03,790
Nope. That's like, I mean, I didn't want
to kiss you.

900
00:56:04,050 --> 00:56:06,710
You don't want to kiss me. No. Right.

901
00:56:07,110 --> 00:56:08,410
Gross. Gross.

902
00:56:11,500 --> 00:56:14,420
What do you say? Do you want to get out
of here and grab a bite to eat?

903
00:56:15,260 --> 00:56:21,060
Oh, I'd love to, but I am having dinner
with Jeffrey in an hour.

904
00:56:21,700 --> 00:56:22,800
A real date, huh?

905
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:27,440
Well, do you think I should photograph
it? Get some actual photos with the

906
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,180
actual guy for this new non-fiction
version?

907
00:56:29,380 --> 00:56:31,920
Actually, I think I should fly solo on
this one.

908
00:56:32,860 --> 00:56:37,000
You won't even know I'm there. And this
is kind of the reason for the series,

909
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:38,060
after all.

910
00:56:41,770 --> 00:56:42,749
Okay, fine.

911
00:56:42,750 --> 00:56:46,990
We're going to be at ZD's at 8, and I

912
00:56:46,990 --> 00:56:51,350
won't see you there.

913
00:56:54,010 --> 00:56:56,670
Oh, man.

914
00:56:58,010 --> 00:56:59,010
Hey.

915
00:57:00,810 --> 00:57:02,850
Thank you again for your help.

916
00:57:04,010 --> 00:57:05,010
Happy to.

917
00:57:06,250 --> 00:57:09,070
All right. See you soon.

918
00:57:09,350 --> 00:57:10,350
See you.

919
00:57:56,070 --> 00:58:02,130
Dear reader, I want to tell you a story
about a person in my life.

920
00:58:02,830 --> 00:58:05,350
We will call him Space.

921
00:58:06,910 --> 00:58:13,370
Now, Space has really stepped it up for
me this holiday season.

922
00:58:14,510 --> 00:58:16,670
But he really helped me see

923
00:58:17,580 --> 00:58:22,420
that the people I always thought were so
much happier than I was during the

924
00:58:22,420 --> 00:58:27,100
holidays were just letting themselves be
happy.

925
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,400
They were leaning in to the magic of the
season.

926
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:39,800
Which, dear reader, is something I am
going to try to do for

927
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,820
real this time?

928
00:58:59,180 --> 00:59:03,140
Are you kidding me? I would never kid
about something as serious as a radio

929
00:59:03,140 --> 00:59:03,919
show contest.

930
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,560
It's just so wild. You won multiple
prizes on air.

931
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:09,340
Well, what can I say? I'm a lucky guy.

932
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:11,840
In more ways than one.

933
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:13,500
Oh.

934
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,080
It was fun tonight.

935
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:17,520
Yeah, I agree.

936
00:59:19,460 --> 00:59:23,680
Listen, my sister is having this dinner
thing at her house tomorrow, and I know

937
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,000
we just started seeing each other, but I
was... I would love to go.

938
00:59:26,580 --> 00:59:27,459
You would?

939
00:59:27,460 --> 00:59:28,460
Yes, I would.

940
00:59:48,970 --> 00:59:54,510
Okay, so according to Adley's list, we
need to make custom ornaments for all of

941
00:59:54,510 --> 00:59:58,690
the silent auction winners, and she gave
me a rough sketch of what they should

942
00:59:58,690 --> 00:59:59,368
look like.

943
00:59:59,370 --> 01:00:01,270
Do you guys always do this level of
detail?

944
01:00:01,570 --> 01:00:02,570
We try to.

945
01:00:03,790 --> 01:00:08,550
Actually, the last few years, Adley
really has had to shoulder most of it.

946
01:00:08,970 --> 01:00:13,570
But she has done a fantastic job keeping
my mother's vision alive.

947
01:00:16,230 --> 01:00:17,230
Oh.

948
01:00:17,890 --> 01:00:19,110
Shoot. Sorry.

949
01:00:19,330 --> 01:00:20,330
No, no, go ahead.

950
01:00:21,850 --> 01:00:24,610
Hello? Okay, so, good news and bad news.

951
01:00:24,950 --> 01:00:27,270
I feel like you and Jack are really
starting to find your groove.

952
01:00:27,950 --> 01:00:32,890
But, take to heart wants to avoid any
potential girl falls in love with a guy

953
01:00:32,890 --> 01:00:33,970
right under her nose angle.

954
01:00:35,890 --> 01:00:36,890
It's a little too convenient.

955
01:00:37,190 --> 01:00:39,390
I'd stick with Mr. G if I were you. Lean
into that.

956
01:00:39,810 --> 01:00:40,649
Yeah, okay.

957
01:00:40,650 --> 01:00:43,050
I don't have feelings for Jack.

958
01:00:43,310 --> 01:00:44,330
I mean, space.

959
01:00:45,390 --> 01:00:48,050
Sorry, I can't really talk right now.
Chat soon. Bye.

960
01:00:52,630 --> 01:00:55,830
But... Sorry about that.

961
01:00:58,730 --> 01:01:00,610
Should I stick to photography?

962
01:01:01,530 --> 01:01:05,150
You might want to not quit your day job.
Okay.

963
01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:06,910
I mean, it's... It's cute.

964
01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:11,590
It's like... Oh, now it's a... There we
go. There's the tree. Yeah, there's the

965
01:01:11,590 --> 01:01:12,590
tree.

966
01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:17,150
We'll take care of it.

967
01:01:17,370 --> 01:01:18,348
We'll take care of it.

968
01:01:18,350 --> 01:01:19,710
I got the fancy ornaments.

969
01:01:20,890 --> 01:01:21,890
You forgot.

970
01:01:22,650 --> 01:01:24,490
What? I forgot?

971
01:01:25,470 --> 01:01:26,470
The form.

972
01:01:26,690 --> 01:01:27,910
Oh, Adley, I'm sorry.

973
01:01:28,170 --> 01:01:28,709
You know what?

974
01:01:28,710 --> 01:01:32,010
I'll go talk to him. I got my check. No,
no, no. No. I handled it.

975
01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:33,870
Oh.

976
01:01:34,230 --> 01:01:35,990
Okay, then we're good?

977
01:01:36,590 --> 01:01:40,010
No. No, we're not good, Nora.

978
01:01:41,190 --> 01:01:44,430
Look, I know that Prism is important to
you.

979
01:01:44,690 --> 01:01:46,890
But you and I, we made a promise.

980
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:48,178
To mom.

981
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:49,800
To run this foundation together.

982
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,920
And sometimes it feels like I am the
only one who takes that promise

983
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,040
seriously. Okay, Adley, you do this. You
do this every time.

984
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:03,440
Every time this idea that I abandoned
the family or whatever because I didn't

985
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:04,440
take over the bakery.

986
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:08,540
That's kind of exactly what you did. You
know what? You're right. I did follow my

987
01:02:08,540 --> 01:02:12,400
passions and my dreams, and they didn't
involve making cookies. But I am always

988
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,440
there for you.

989
01:02:14,670 --> 01:02:19,070
Actions speak louder than words, Nora.
And your actions speak loud and clear.

990
01:02:20,090 --> 01:02:22,650
Everything okay?

991
01:02:22,970 --> 01:02:23,970
Uh, no.

992
01:02:24,030 --> 01:02:25,030
Apparently not.

993
01:02:25,270 --> 01:02:26,270
She's just stressed.

994
01:02:26,510 --> 01:02:27,870
Yeah, okay. You should take those.

995
01:02:29,230 --> 01:02:30,230
I should go.

996
01:02:30,430 --> 01:02:33,330
Hey, no. I think quite the opposite.

997
01:02:34,590 --> 01:02:36,090
I think you're very wanted here.

998
01:02:37,670 --> 01:02:38,670
Come on.

999
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,300
And I told him, no, there's no way we're
going to take that deal. My client

1000
01:02:49,300 --> 01:02:51,380
deserves better. Excuse me, pass the
potatoes, please.

1001
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,600
You know, that reminds me of the time.
And they did. They came up on their

1002
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,160
offer, which, of course, I always do.

1003
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,920
You know, I say the client comes first.

1004
01:02:58,180 --> 01:02:59,180
That's my motto.

1005
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,080
And then, of course, there was another
time. Hold on for a second. They got

1006
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:04,680
away. And then there was another time.

1007
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:06,680
Client comes in from out of town.

1008
01:03:08,900 --> 01:03:11,100
And, you know, he says, hey.

1009
01:03:11,530 --> 01:03:13,930
I need you to do something, right? He
comes in completely unannounced.

1010
01:03:14,190 --> 01:03:16,990
And, you know, he says, I need you to
take care of X, Y, Z. And I can't tell

1011
01:03:16,990 --> 01:03:19,910
you what X, Y, Z is, of course, because
that's completely confidential. But he

1012
01:03:19,910 --> 01:03:21,610
says, needed to be done ASAP.

1013
01:03:22,310 --> 01:03:24,270
So I did it. You know, what can I say?

1014
01:03:24,550 --> 01:03:25,890
I'm good at what I do. You know what I
mean?

1015
01:03:26,450 --> 01:03:27,450
Client comes first.

1016
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,900
I'm glad you like the potatoes. Oh,
everything was wonderful.

1017
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,660
The roast was a little dry, but a trick
my mother used to use, she'd put just a

1018
01:03:39,660 --> 01:03:41,600
little bit of water on the base of the
tin.

1019
01:03:41,900 --> 01:03:43,320
Keeps everything nice and moist.

1020
01:03:43,540 --> 01:03:45,280
I'll make sure I pass along the tip.

1021
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:55,540
So I will see you tomorrow.

1022
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,140
I'm excited for the fundraiser.

1023
01:03:59,140 --> 01:04:00,140
I'll see you there.

1024
01:04:10,339 --> 01:04:11,339
Don't say anything.

1025
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:13,760
It's late.

1026
01:04:13,980 --> 01:04:16,480
You should probably just stay here for
the night. Your room's already made up.

1027
01:04:17,020 --> 01:04:19,480
You know what? I should, uh, I should
put Kyle to bed.

1028
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,000
I don't know. I think I should. I just
miss you.

1029
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,080
I know that you have so much going on.

1030
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,140
It's honestly so impressive.

1031
01:04:31,540 --> 01:04:32,540
Look at you.

1032
01:04:33,540 --> 01:04:38,300
You have this beautiful family and this
business that people love and...

1033
01:04:38,730 --> 01:04:42,490
Every year you throw this event that
actually makes a difference in people's

1034
01:04:42,490 --> 01:04:45,290
lives. I mean, you're the one that's
impressive.

1035
01:04:46,770 --> 01:04:48,850
And I'm sorry I don't tell you that
enough.

1036
01:04:51,330 --> 01:04:53,230
And I miss you, too.

1037
01:04:53,870 --> 01:04:54,890
I love you.

1038
01:05:00,490 --> 01:05:01,490
Don't cry.

1039
01:05:02,470 --> 01:05:06,310
I guess you should just stay the night,
then. Can I borrow some pajamas?

1040
01:05:06,730 --> 01:05:08,120
Yeah. I got lots.

1041
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:10,820
So, Jeffrey.

1042
01:05:12,340 --> 01:05:13,520
He seems nice.

1043
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,200
Yeah, he is, I think.

1044
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,140
I mean, we have a lot in common.

1045
01:05:18,020 --> 01:05:19,020
Jack.

1046
01:05:19,820 --> 01:05:20,860
He's a lovely guy.

1047
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:22,200
He's just a friend.

1048
01:05:22,740 --> 01:05:24,580
I always thought that was a funny
saying.

1049
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:26,640
What do you mean?

1050
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:33,540
I think a soulmate is just a friend you
happen to have deeper chemistry with.

1051
01:05:33,660 --> 01:05:36,220
You know, the kind of friend your soul
just...

1052
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,780
Nose. That is so cheesy.

1053
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:44,600
I know, I know, but I'm just saying, you
know, there's a lot of people out there

1054
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,720
that you'll have a deeper chemistry with
in your lifetime.

1055
01:05:48,580 --> 01:05:52,060
But not everyone will make you feel like
home.

1056
01:05:59,740 --> 01:06:00,740
Sarah?

1057
01:06:05,140 --> 01:06:06,140
Jack.

1058
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:11,180
Level 11 is sending over a job offer. I
forwarded them a sneak peek of your

1059
01:06:11,180 --> 01:06:13,580
latest work. And they absolutely love
it.

1060
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:15,940
Is that legal?

1061
01:06:16,220 --> 01:06:18,420
I mean, my work for PRISM is owned by
PRISM, right?

1062
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,220
It's not like they're publishing it.
They're just using it to evaluate you.

1063
01:06:21,820 --> 01:06:23,660
Anyhow, there should be an offer coming
soon.

1064
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,220
Keep an eye on your email.

1065
01:06:25,980 --> 01:06:26,980
Gotta go. Bye.

1066
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:49,780
What are you doing up?

1067
01:06:50,340 --> 01:06:51,460
What are you doing up?

1068
01:06:51,900 --> 01:06:52,960
I asked you first.

1069
01:06:55,380 --> 01:06:57,340
Oh, I was having trouble sleeping.

1070
01:06:59,340 --> 01:07:00,860
Thought I'd get a midnight snack.

1071
01:07:02,140 --> 01:07:03,600
Test that?

1072
01:07:04,540 --> 01:07:05,820
I don't mind if I do.

1073
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,420
I wanted to edit some of the new photos.

1074
01:07:12,980 --> 01:07:15,180
This is one of my favorites.

1075
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:19,380
I love how alive you look in these.

1076
01:07:20,420 --> 01:07:21,920
You always shoot in black and white?

1077
01:07:22,380 --> 01:07:23,700
It was my grandpa's style.

1078
01:07:24,700 --> 01:07:26,620
Said he got rid of anything superfluous.

1079
01:07:28,220 --> 01:07:29,220
I like that.

1080
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,860
And this gallery placement that I'm
trying to land? It was the first gallery

1081
01:07:33,860 --> 01:07:35,740
to feature his work all those years ago.

1082
01:07:36,580 --> 01:07:37,920
Yeah, he loved that place.

1083
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,020
I think it's really brave that you went
for it.

1084
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,780
I just got tired of feeling like I
wasn't doing everything I could to live.

1085
01:07:46,540 --> 01:07:47,540
The life I loved.

1086
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:49,200
Mm.

1087
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:52,460
Life you love.

1088
01:07:56,060 --> 01:07:57,660
I'm gonna take another chestnut.

1089
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:01,620
I'll see you in the morning.

1090
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,200
Night, Nora.

1091
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:04,480
Night.

1092
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:21,580
So... Adlai and Clark finished all the
baking last night, and they are at the

1093
01:08:21,580 --> 01:08:26,939
museum setting up, and they want us to
finish stuffing these gift boxes.

1094
01:08:27,399 --> 01:08:28,580
You got it, boss.

1095
01:08:28,859 --> 01:08:34,899
We want to put one Christmas tree and
one gingerbread in each box. Okay.

1096
01:08:34,939 --> 01:08:35,939
Here's a glove.

1097
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:37,040
Thanks.

1098
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:39,479
Oh.

1099
01:08:40,819 --> 01:08:42,220
I'm waiting for this.

1100
01:08:43,979 --> 01:08:44,979
Oh.

1101
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:47,920
What's up?

1102
01:08:48,279 --> 01:08:49,279
It's from Max.

1103
01:08:49,399 --> 01:08:52,260
The board has scheduled a call for later
today.

1104
01:08:53,260 --> 01:08:54,859
That's not such a bad thing, is it?

1105
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,000
No, but a fit of that glove is a bad
thing.

1106
01:08:59,060 --> 01:09:02,060
Why don't you take the boxes and I will
touch the cookies?

1107
01:09:02,819 --> 01:09:03,819
Deal.

1108
01:09:05,020 --> 01:09:10,319
So are you really worried? I feel like
this whole thing is manufactured.

1109
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:13,720
Love can't be rushed.

1110
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:18,080
I mean, if you plant a seed, you don't
get a plant the next day.

1111
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,920
It has to grow. It takes time.

1112
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,479
Laura Winters, are you a romantic?

1113
01:09:27,859 --> 01:09:28,859
No.

1114
01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:30,439
No, of course not.

1115
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:35,319
I just... I don't know why I thought I
could get away with faking the whole

1116
01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:36,319
thing.

1117
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,180
No wonder the board's not happy.

1118
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,180
I never used to write like this.

1119
01:09:40,460 --> 01:09:41,460
And why is that?

1120
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,080
I used to be a different person.

1121
01:09:44,590 --> 01:09:49,370
You know, when I started writing, I
didn't think about what was going to be

1122
01:09:49,370 --> 01:09:54,149
in the comments section. I just wrote
what I felt and pushed publish and never

1123
01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:55,150
gave it a second thought.

1124
01:09:55,570 --> 01:09:56,830
We need more boxes.

1125
01:09:58,150 --> 01:10:00,250
Well, that's what made you so
successful.

1126
01:10:00,650 --> 01:10:01,650
Yeah.

1127
01:10:01,870 --> 01:10:07,650
But at some point, as the site grew and
grew and grew, then, you know what? The

1128
01:10:07,650 --> 01:10:10,490
scrutiny on me grew and grew and grew.

1129
01:10:12,430 --> 01:10:14,790
I think you're admitting that you're
afraid of something.

1130
01:10:15,950 --> 01:10:18,830
Before I took this assignment, I went
back and I read all your old writing.

1131
01:10:19,490 --> 01:10:20,490
And you're right.

1132
01:10:21,550 --> 01:10:22,550
You're not the same.

1133
01:10:23,590 --> 01:10:24,590
You're better.

1134
01:10:26,310 --> 01:10:31,170
You... You're more thoughtful. You come
at things from a stronger point of view.

1135
01:10:31,270 --> 01:10:36,390
And, look, I understand your concerns,
but I don't think you actually have

1136
01:10:36,390 --> 01:10:37,390
anything to be afraid of.

1137
01:10:38,470 --> 01:10:40,010
I just don't want to be a fraud.

1138
01:10:40,730 --> 01:10:41,730
So don't be.

1139
01:10:42,990 --> 01:10:44,110
They want honest.

1140
01:10:44,950 --> 01:10:46,130
Give them honest.

1141
01:10:47,730 --> 01:10:49,630
Tell the board and your readers that Mr.

1142
01:10:50,550 --> 01:10:55,370
Haircut or whatever anonymous name you
gave Jeffrey is handsome and charming,

1143
01:10:55,450 --> 01:10:57,310
but you just don't feel it with him.

1144
01:10:58,510 --> 01:11:01,590
I mean, who cares if you don't actually
fall in love before Christmas?

1145
01:11:02,410 --> 01:11:04,770
Well, that is the title of the series.

1146
01:11:05,070 --> 01:11:07,350
It would literally ruin it.

1147
01:11:08,630 --> 01:11:09,670
Not if you're real.

1148
01:11:11,820 --> 01:11:14,660
What are you really feeling, Nora
Winters?

1149
01:11:23,100 --> 01:11:28,640
Because if you write about that, I think
you'll get your stellar content.

1150
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,700
Which I need.

1151
01:11:32,620 --> 01:11:33,620
Cheers.

1152
01:11:42,630 --> 01:11:45,350
Hey. I'm gonna need you to pack your
bags.

1153
01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:49,070
Because Level 11 just offered you the
full-time position.

1154
01:11:49,670 --> 01:11:52,890
They want you at their holiday company
party tonight so they can introduce you

1155
01:11:52,890 --> 01:11:53,809
to the team.

1156
01:11:53,810 --> 01:11:56,710
But I'm in the middle of the assignment
for PRISM. Yeah, but you're finished

1157
01:11:56,710 --> 01:11:59,010
that tomorrow, so you can just sneak out
a few hours early.

1158
01:11:59,890 --> 01:12:01,530
Well, who'd finish shooting Nora's
series?

1159
01:12:02,330 --> 01:12:04,750
Jack, did you hear the words that I'm
saying?

1160
01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:06,970
Level 11.

1161
01:12:07,910 --> 01:12:09,350
Full-time position.

1162
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:11,240
Big deal.

1163
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,660
This is not contract or freelance work.

1164
01:12:16,220 --> 01:12:17,860
Okay, well, where are we at with the
gallery?

1165
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,640
Jack, you are being offered more money
than any client I've ever had in my

1166
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:23,640
entire career.

1167
01:12:23,940 --> 01:12:25,680
Why are you still thinking so small?

1168
01:12:25,980 --> 01:12:28,700
You knew a gallery exhibition was always
the goal.

1169
01:12:28,940 --> 01:12:32,140
And it will be, while you're crushing it
at level.

1170
01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:34,120
What time can I tell them you'll be
there?

1171
01:12:36,740 --> 01:12:37,740
No.

1172
01:12:37,940 --> 01:12:38,940
I'm not going.

1173
01:12:39,330 --> 01:12:40,370
Jack, don't be silly.

1174
01:12:40,970 --> 01:12:45,130
Look, Sarah, you took a chance on me all
those years ago, and I'll be forever

1175
01:12:45,130 --> 01:12:50,030
grateful, but I think... I think it's
time for me to focus on other things.

1176
01:12:51,330 --> 01:12:52,330
Like what?

1177
01:12:53,030 --> 01:12:54,070
A gallery exhibition.

1178
01:12:55,490 --> 01:12:58,610
Time with loved ones. Look, I just... I
need a change.

1179
01:12:59,410 --> 01:13:03,030
Thank you for everything, but... I'm not
bailing on Nora.

1180
01:13:03,490 --> 01:13:04,490
She needs me.

1181
01:13:05,510 --> 01:13:07,110
This series means too much to her.

1182
01:13:08,330 --> 01:13:09,330
I'm not going.

1183
01:13:24,170 --> 01:13:28,410
Look at you.

1184
01:13:28,730 --> 01:13:29,950
That looks stunning.

1185
01:13:30,450 --> 01:13:31,450
Thank you.

1186
01:13:31,550 --> 01:13:33,730
I actually just learned this new makeup
tip.

1187
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,080
You put the white in your waterline and
then just like a dash of glitter in your

1188
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:39,420
corner and it makes your eyes pop.

1189
01:13:39,700 --> 01:13:46,060
And then you use this primer to smooth
out your pores, which you literally

1190
01:13:46,060 --> 01:13:48,020
don't have, but I do.

1191
01:13:49,460 --> 01:13:52,080
I didn't realize that you knew so much
about makeup.

1192
01:13:52,660 --> 01:13:53,660
Trial and error.

1193
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:58,540
Listen, I know that you still have
another semester at school, but would

1194
01:13:58,540 --> 01:14:00,880
you have any interest in writing for the
site?

1195
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:07,420
Maybe doing a monthly roundup of makeup
products, tips you've learned, that kind

1196
01:14:07,420 --> 01:14:08,560
of thing. Are you serious?

1197
01:14:08,780 --> 01:14:09,780
I'd love to.

1198
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,220
Writing for Prism has been my goal since
I was like eight.

1199
01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:14,940
Why didn't you ever say anything?

1200
01:14:16,820 --> 01:14:20,900
I mean, I guess I didn't think I had
anything to say.

1201
01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:22,920
I mean, you're such a legend.

1202
01:14:23,180 --> 01:14:28,380
Oh. And I know you took a break from
writing, but this thing that you're

1203
01:14:28,380 --> 01:14:29,380
doing would take to heart.

1204
01:14:30,410 --> 01:14:31,410
It's so cool.

1205
01:14:31,590 --> 01:14:34,690
And plus, you and Jack are like the
ultimate creative duo.

1206
01:14:35,570 --> 01:14:36,570
Well,

1207
01:14:37,290 --> 01:14:39,530
he is talented.

1208
01:14:40,110 --> 01:14:42,570
And he definitely has a crush on you.

1209
01:14:43,030 --> 01:14:44,030
Okay.

1210
01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:50,770
So, tell me whatever other magic makeup
tricks you have. Okay.

1211
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,760
Whoa, whoa, I got it, I got it, I got
it.

1212
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:02,120
Oh, gosh.

1213
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:03,759
I'm sorry.

1214
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:08,020
I just... I thought I was tall enough to
reach the top. Oh, well, allow me.

1215
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:09,880
Thank you.

1216
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:12,760
There you go.

1217
01:15:13,780 --> 01:15:18,580
Look, I know that Nora didn't
intentionally invite you to our little

1218
01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:22,140
fundraiser, but we are all so glad that
you and Kyle are here.

1219
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:23,480
Are you kidding?

1220
01:15:23,700 --> 01:15:24,780
I'm honored to be here.

1221
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:26,760
And you have a really special family.

1222
01:15:27,340 --> 01:15:29,520
And Nora, well, she's... She's pretty
great.

1223
01:15:33,420 --> 01:15:39,920
Look, I don't mean to overstep, but in
my experience, telling someone how you

1224
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,700
feel, it's always a good idea.

1225
01:15:57,070 --> 01:15:58,070
That's good.

1226
01:16:05,110 --> 01:16:06,110
What?

1227
01:16:12,570 --> 01:16:13,890
Everything looks so good.

1228
01:16:14,370 --> 01:16:15,470
Great setup.

1229
01:16:16,070 --> 01:16:17,070
Hi,

1230
01:16:18,250 --> 01:16:19,250
guys.

1231
01:16:22,530 --> 01:16:25,230
Okay, Winters family, let's get this
party started.

1232
01:16:25,590 --> 01:16:26,590
Bye.

1233
01:16:26,930 --> 01:16:27,930
Oh, my God.

1234
01:16:28,010 --> 01:16:29,010
So exciting.

1235
01:16:38,650 --> 01:16:41,710
Magic. And you know what? Here's a
donation slip in case you want to

1236
01:16:41,710 --> 01:16:43,930
contribute to the bakery's free
programs.

1237
01:16:44,750 --> 01:16:45,750
Hey.

1238
01:16:47,830 --> 01:16:49,530
Sorry. Give back to the community.

1239
01:16:49,870 --> 01:16:52,690
In addition, I'll be giving away a free
photography class to all donors.

1240
01:16:53,430 --> 01:16:54,430
Thank you.

1241
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:57,739
Hi, guys.

1242
01:16:57,740 --> 01:16:59,900
Yeah, if you could just a little closer.
There we go.

1243
01:17:01,100 --> 01:17:03,640
Hi. Thank you for coming. Oh, my
pleasure.

1244
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:05,420
Good to see you. Yeah, you too.

1245
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:07,040
Oh,

1246
01:17:07,500 --> 01:17:08,540
yeah.

1247
01:17:09,260 --> 01:17:12,180
We're getting there, but, you know, it
could be better.

1248
01:17:13,660 --> 01:17:15,680
Well, let me show you. Oh, you remember.

1249
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:16,960
Yeah. Hi.

1250
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:17,818
Nice to see you.

1251
01:17:17,820 --> 01:17:19,420
Let me show you the rest of this.
Certainly.

1252
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,120
Hey, Katie, it's Jack Paxton.

1253
01:17:31,020 --> 01:17:32,040
Yeah, it's been a while.

1254
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,440
Hey, listen, is your company still
looking to make some donations before

1255
01:17:35,440 --> 01:17:36,440
the end of the fiscal year?

1256
01:17:38,220 --> 01:17:40,280
I think I might have the perfect charity
for you.

1257
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,360
Yeah, that's so generous. Thank you.

1258
01:17:49,180 --> 01:17:51,820
I am telling you, it is wild, man.

1259
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,680
Well, no, the Nora Winters is actually
writing about me.

1260
01:17:57,340 --> 01:17:59,740
Well, yeah, because I'm Mr. G.

1261
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:05,540
Well, yeah, of course she's nice. She's
great. But, you know, but her name next

1262
01:18:05,540 --> 01:18:06,540
to mine, this is huge.

1263
01:18:07,660 --> 01:18:11,700
Hey, I'll tell you what. See if you can
get me an interview with the Post, and I

1264
01:18:11,700 --> 01:18:13,840
can do one of those kind of, you know,
tell-all kind of things.

1265
01:18:15,100 --> 01:18:16,100
Oh, yeah.

1266
01:18:16,660 --> 01:18:19,360
Yeah, because this will be great for my
business. And you know what? They will

1267
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:20,380
eat this stuff up.

1268
01:18:20,900 --> 01:18:23,960
That's good, right? Oh, we got a couple
more down here.

1269
01:18:26,140 --> 01:18:27,140
Max! Hi.

1270
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:30,180
Nora, I'm sorry to call you on Christmas
Eve, but I wanted you to hear it from

1271
01:18:30,180 --> 01:18:31,180
me.

1272
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,360
Oh, is this about Jack and Level 11?

1273
01:18:33,660 --> 01:18:36,740
Yeah, no, I heard, but this is about you
and the column.

1274
01:18:37,820 --> 01:18:39,520
I'm so sorry.

1275
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,120
I just heard from the board.

1276
01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:43,760
They're pulling the collaboration
between us and Take to Heart.

1277
01:18:44,260 --> 01:18:47,480
I guess they weren't thrilled with some
recent developments.

1278
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:48,760
I just sent you an email.

1279
01:18:54,260 --> 01:18:55,260
Nora Winters.

1280
01:18:56,430 --> 01:19:01,310
How to fall in love by Christmas series
was completely fake, and inside source

1281
01:19:01,310 --> 01:19:02,310
says.

1282
01:19:04,210 --> 01:19:05,210
Wow.

1283
01:19:05,470 --> 01:19:06,670
Any idea who the source is?

1284
01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:09,890
Well, Jack, right? Who else could it be?

1285
01:19:11,170 --> 01:19:12,170
I'm sorry, Nora.

1286
01:19:12,930 --> 01:19:13,930
Merry Christmas.

1287
01:19:16,330 --> 01:19:17,450
I was looking for you.

1288
01:19:17,670 --> 01:19:18,670
Oh, you were?

1289
01:19:19,310 --> 01:19:20,330
Were you going to tell me?

1290
01:19:21,650 --> 01:19:22,650
What is this?

1291
01:19:22,890 --> 01:19:24,470
I don't know, but...

1292
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:29,260
Listen, Jeffrey, he's using you. Jeffrey
is using me. You would say that because

1293
01:19:29,260 --> 01:19:30,740
you use me.

1294
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:32,800
That's not true.

1295
01:19:33,300 --> 01:19:38,820
Oh, so you didn't basically wrap me out
with the work that we did for my column

1296
01:19:38,820 --> 01:19:41,220
by selling it to a rival site for more
money?

1297
01:19:41,580 --> 01:19:43,600
That was my agent.

1298
01:19:44,580 --> 01:19:47,280
And you didn't know that she was doing
that?

1299
01:19:49,420 --> 01:19:52,840
So you're just basically motivated by
money and...

1300
01:19:53,290 --> 01:19:54,330
This was all a lie.

1301
01:19:55,530 --> 01:19:56,530
Says the woman.

1302
01:19:56,650 --> 01:19:58,930
Totally comfortable faking falling in
love.

1303
01:19:59,290 --> 01:20:02,630
Well, at least I'm trying to change.

1304
01:20:03,570 --> 01:20:04,570
Unlike you.

1305
01:20:05,430 --> 01:20:06,590
You know what? Forget it.

1306
01:20:07,390 --> 01:20:09,690
This was a waste of time. Yeah, it was a
waste of time.

1307
01:20:10,030 --> 01:20:14,910
Why don't you just go have a great, fun
Christmas party at your new company?

1308
01:20:20,470 --> 01:20:21,470
Everything all right?

1309
01:20:23,300 --> 01:20:24,300
Uh, yeah.

1310
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:39,680
How we doing?

1311
01:20:40,820 --> 01:20:43,400
Um, might have to cut back a little.

1312
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:48,140
But the foundation, that's not what Mom
would have wanted.

1313
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,420
Sometimes you just have to face the fact
that things don't always go your way.

1314
01:20:53,180 --> 01:20:54,180
What's with you?

1315
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:01,700
This whole silly thing, this partnership
with Take to Heart, I shouldn't have let

1316
01:21:01,700 --> 01:21:02,780
myself get pushed into it.

1317
01:21:03,100 --> 01:21:08,040
But you started writing, and you have
real feelings for someone, yeah?

1318
01:21:09,480 --> 01:21:10,760
Hey, there you are.

1319
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:13,320
I have been looking for you everywhere.

1320
01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:15,500
Did you want to go do the photo booth?

1321
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:17,600
Um...

1322
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:23,640
Are you recording right now?

1323
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,300
Well, uh... Well, yeah.

1324
01:21:27,820 --> 01:21:29,560
I mean, but can you blame me?

1325
01:21:30,140 --> 01:21:34,640
Well, because you're Nora Winters, and I
just thought it would be a good idea if

1326
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:35,640
I had some proof.

1327
01:21:36,740 --> 01:21:37,740
Proof?

1328
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:39,240
That I'm Mr. G.

1329
01:21:40,480 --> 01:21:41,740
Why would you need proof?

1330
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:45,840
Because I am getting so much more
investors interested in my company by

1331
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:46,940
mentioning you in the interviews.

1332
01:21:48,700 --> 01:21:49,940
Interviews? Yeah.

1333
01:21:50,570 --> 01:21:54,490
And I've got another one tomorrow. I
just want to make sure I can, you know,

1334
01:21:54,490 --> 01:21:55,910
quote everything factually.

1335
01:21:56,150 --> 01:21:57,150
Okay, wow.

1336
01:21:58,390 --> 01:22:04,550
I don't think this is going to work out.

1337
01:22:05,070 --> 01:22:06,130
What about your column?

1338
01:22:08,570 --> 01:22:09,590
Nora, hold on. Wait.

1339
01:22:11,310 --> 01:22:14,590
Jeffrey, I think it's time we excuse
ourselves.

1340
01:22:15,490 --> 01:22:16,970
Just come this way.

1341
01:22:17,850 --> 01:22:18,850
It's okay.

1342
01:22:22,020 --> 01:22:23,020
Hey, buddy.

1343
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,600
I think it's time to pack up our things
and head out, okay?

1344
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:27,040
Here.

1345
01:22:27,140 --> 01:22:28,140
Come on.

1346
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,060
I was totally wrong about everything.

1347
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:42,060
I mean, Jeffrey was so obvious. I should
have known what was going on there right

1348
01:22:42,060 --> 01:22:43,520
away. Sure, but Jack?

1349
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:45,800
I mean, I've seen the way you two look
at each other.

1350
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:49,400
Adelaide, he used me as a bargaining
tool.

1351
01:22:49,700 --> 01:22:50,820
No, he didn't.

1352
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:56,460
No, Nora. Last time I saw him, he was
doing everything he could to fundraise.

1353
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,240
He did it.

1354
01:23:00,340 --> 01:23:02,960
Apparently, he knew people who wanted to
donate to that cause.

1355
01:23:03,740 --> 01:23:04,740
We're good.

1356
01:23:04,980 --> 01:23:09,220
He left to go to Level 11's Christmas
party tonight.

1357
01:23:09,440 --> 01:23:10,460
No, he didn't.

1358
01:23:11,480 --> 01:23:17,440
He fired his agent. He turned down the
job at Level 11. I heard him. I heard

1359
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:18,500
him do it with my own two ears.

1360
01:23:22,059 --> 01:23:26,460
Listen, he lights you up in a way I
haven't seen in years.

1361
01:23:27,940 --> 01:23:29,600
You two have something really special.

1362
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,980
And I would think twice about letting it
go.

1363
01:24:37,130 --> 01:24:38,130
Hey, Max.

1364
01:24:40,050 --> 01:24:42,090
I'm going to go live with one more
piece.

1365
01:24:44,210 --> 01:24:46,610
Yes, hi. I'd like to book a hotel room
for a few nights.

1366
01:24:47,250 --> 01:24:49,590
Hey, where are you two headed?

1367
01:24:50,670 --> 01:24:53,770
Santa's coming here in a few hours. This
is the address I told him to go to.

1368
01:24:54,230 --> 01:24:55,710
Mom! Sorry, I'm going to have to call
you back.

1369
01:24:56,890 --> 01:24:57,890
What's a Christmas miracle?

1370
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:00,560
But how?

1371
01:25:00,780 --> 01:25:05,240
I had a little help from Nora and a
little bit of luck. The hospital was

1372
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:06,780
fully staffed. They didn't need me
tonight.

1373
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:08,160
Sorry,

1374
01:25:08,980 --> 01:25:09,980
one sec.

1375
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:15,040
Dear reader, I have to come clean.

1376
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,280
Did I start this series as a skeptic?

1377
01:25:20,420 --> 01:25:21,580
I sure did.

1378
01:25:22,830 --> 01:25:27,650
Did I think it was actually possible to
lean into the magic of the season and

1379
01:25:27,650 --> 01:25:29,730
let that magic open your heart?

1380
01:25:31,650 --> 01:25:32,650
Absolutely not.

1381
01:25:33,870 --> 01:25:35,010
But was I wrong?

1382
01:25:35,370 --> 01:25:36,850
I very much was.

1383
01:25:37,230 --> 01:25:43,330
I am here to tell you that I did, in
fact, fall in love, more or less by

1384
01:25:43,330 --> 01:25:46,130
Christmas, thanks to Take to Heart.

1385
01:25:48,390 --> 01:25:50,810
It happened with someone...

1386
01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:52,430
I never expected.

1387
01:25:53,310 --> 01:25:58,670
Someone who challenged me, supported me,
protected me, encouraged me.

1388
01:26:00,530 --> 01:26:03,370
Someone who took me totally by surprise.

1389
01:26:03,830 --> 01:26:06,090
Nora Winters, I think you just saved
your job.

1390
01:26:06,770 --> 01:26:09,630
I didn't realize it was even happening.

1391
01:26:10,550 --> 01:26:12,650
And that's the best part about love.

1392
01:26:13,250 --> 01:26:17,370
It can surprise you if you stay open to
it.

1393
01:26:18,870 --> 01:26:20,150
What are you waiting for?

1394
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:21,860
Go. Yeah.

1395
01:26:22,300 --> 01:26:23,580
Yeah. Go. Okay.

1396
01:26:49,070 --> 01:26:50,290
Did you read my post?

1397
01:26:52,970 --> 01:26:54,130
I'm very impressed.

1398
01:26:55,730 --> 01:26:57,730
Impressed enough to forgive me?

1399
01:27:12,230 --> 01:27:14,890
It's bad luck not to kiss under the
mistletoe.

1400
01:27:15,710 --> 01:27:16,710
It's gross.

1401
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:26,920
So Jack Paxton, in your professional
opinion, do you think that you can fall

1402
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:27,920
in love by Christmas?

1403
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:30,360
Absolutely.

1404
01:27:30,980 --> 01:27:31,980
Do you?

1405
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:34,920
Absolutely.

1406
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:06,160
the first noel the angels did

1407
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:12,740
say was too certain for shepherds in
fields where they lay

1408
01:28:12,740 --> 01:28:16,020
in fields where they

1409
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:25,520
their sheep on a cold winter's night
that was so deep

1410
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:26,720
no
