Dad, that is a horrible idea.

Because you get seasick.

Okay, well, what if the boat sinks?

Well, dad, that's what daughters do.

Okay, well, I am meeting brad.

It's the anniversary of our first date.

Yes, he is in town of christmas.

I will, I love you.

- Yeah, brad thomas, we have a reservation at eight o'clock.

- I'm not finding that reservation.

- Are you sure?

'cause well, it's a really special night,

so maybe there's...

- No, nothing under a brad thomas.

Perhaps another name I could try.

- There must just be a little mistake.

Do you have a table for two?

- Yes, right this way.

- All right, thank you.

- Oh, hun, she was watching and loving every second of it.

- Okay, okay!

(laughing)

- dad.

- What?

- All right, we're just gonna dig in here,

and have a truce on that. - You can have mine

since I did that.

- Please dig in. - Dig in.

- Oh okay, let me just.

(both laughing)

(puppy whimpering)

Oh.

Oh, you poor thing. (sighs)

you okay, huh?

Hi.

Hi, come here.

Oh, sweet thing.

Aww, you're so sweet.

Okay, come on, let's go inside.

I need some help.

- Poor baby.

- Yeah.

She gonna be okay?

- A little dirty and it looks like she hasn't eaten

in a couple days, but I'll call animal control.

- No, no.

- We do not take strays.

It's your dad's policy.

- Well, then it's gonna have to be our little secret.

Please, just give her an iv and just do whatever it takes.

- And who's gonna pay for it?

- I will until she's well.

- Hm, okay.

- What is that?

- My new friend.

- That's the fifth time this month.

- I'm a bleeding heart.

- You are.

Here, take this for me, thank you.

I'll take a look at him.

So, how are things?

- What you mean besides the fact that your retirement

is going to include rough seas

and that we still don't have anyone interested

in buying the vet clinic?

- No no no, I meant last night.

You know, karaoke, ice cream.

Oh, let's see, he stood you up again, right?

- He stood me up.

- Well, what was his excuse this time?

- Non-comunicato

and I'm not even gonna answer the phone

even if he does call.

I think he might be allergic to commitment.

- Well, he's flying around the world,

he's closing big deals, you know?

I don't know, something might've happened.

I'd give him some more time.

- Dad, you know he is promoting a concert

in the florida keys and his phone works just fine.

Nah, it doesn't matter 'cause I really am tired

of this long-distance thing.

I mean, he's not gonna move here

and I'm not gonna move to some tropical island.

- Why not?

- Dad, as soon as we sell this clinic,

I'm opening up my music store and I'm teaching full time.

I need clients, not monkeys.

- Doctor, your first patient is in room one.

- All right, thank you.

I'll be right there.

You know, when I met your mother,

I wasn't looking for love.

Love just found me.

- I think love just found me

on the front doorstep of our vet clinic.

- I am in a band actually.

- Wow, that's so cool.

I've actually been taking singing lessons

at the singing studio in la.

- [todd] really?

- Yeah. - That's awesome.

Once I can make enough money to fix my van,

I'm out of here.

I mean, for real hitting the road with my boys,

all the way to the big time.

Yeah, hitting the stage.

Everyone's gonna be cheering my name.

Can't you see it?

Todd, todd, todd.

- Todd!

You know what I don't see?

Soup bowl.

- Soup bowls, got it.

Sophie, keep singing.

And rach, good to see you.

- Hey todd.

- Singer, you're a singer, huh?

- I'm trying to be.

I've just been looking up stuff about vocal registers.

- Oh, you should check out eileen farrell.

She's got a book on mixing registers.

I think it's wonderful.

- Eileen?

- Yes, farrell.

I took a sabbatical for the winter semester after I...

- A sabbatical, huh?

- I teach english.

- Wow, you're a renaissance man, too.

That's pretty cool.

(michael laughs)

- no.

Okay, I'll be back with your order.

- My dad's shy.

- Your dad?

Oh, and your mom?

- She's passed.

- I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay.

- So, how do you like our little town?

- Oh, it's fine I guess.

I've actually been missing my lessons though,

and I keep messing up this song.

- Oh, what song is it?

- "hark! The herald angels sing."

- yeah, I sang that song in the christmas pageant.

It's hard.

- Sophia just got given that same task.

- Really?

Well, I could actually help you.

So I teach singing lessons and piano at night.

So if you want, I could rearrange my schedule

and help you out.

- Dad?

- No.

Thank you, but you don't have

to rearrange your schedule for us.

- Actually, it would my pleasure.

- Dad, come on.

- I'm sorry, we can't right now.

- Oh.

- But thank you very much.

Enjoy your soup.

- Sure.

- Eat your soup.

- [sophia] okay, dad.

- So, has she made a lot of new friends while she's here?

- No, not really.

- Oh.

- She's had a little bit of a hard time, you know.

That's partly my fault.

- Oh, well.

- But she loves your class.

- Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.

- Yeah, me too.

- So, do you sing?

- No, no.

No, she definitely gets her voice from her mom.

- [rachael] well, come on, I think there's a singer

in there somewhere.

I'm sure things will pick up.

- I don't think so.

Keto's in, sugar's out.

Okay, I said veggies and bacon bites,

but someone vetoed me.

- How festive are bacon bites?

- Unilaterally festive.

Dollars?

- [ellen] yes.

- For costumes?

- They're authentic.

- Was that from zero b.C. Or would that be a.D.?

- Maybe they turn the sundials back a little.

- They could've.

- How are we gonna sell all these sweets?

- Okay, well...

Oh, what's happening in that head of yours over there?

- I got a little idea. - Yeah, what is it?

- A little cookie-off.

- Okay. - Whoever sells

the least cookies, buys the other one dinner.

It's not like that.

It's a bet.

- Italian food, got it.

- Yeah, and also a really sore loser.

- Is he? (laughs)

- okay.

Good luck.

- Oh, this is as close to a japanese kimono

that I could get.

And I'm celebrating the emperor's birthday,

and it's a national holiday.

- In japan.

Why are you celebrating it?

- It gives me a chance to wear something different.

How much for a bag of cookies?

- 50-- - no, dad.

You are pre-diabetic.

- I'm pre-disposed to kick your butt

unless you sell me a bag of cookies.

Otherwise I'm going over there to your competition.

- Oh, you wouldn't.

All right, then, $50.

- 50?

I see the game you're playing.

Trying to price me out, right?

This is for the children.

Okay, oh, oh dad, don't look now, but donna's here.

- Don't look now?

I've been trying to get a date with her for 10 years.

- Dad, that's brad's mom.

- Yeah, well, it upset her, sweetheart.

Anyway, it's all a front.

She can't keep her mind off of me.

- Hello.

- [michael] hi.

- I heard that there was a bake sale competition.

- Well there just happens to be a bake sale competition.

- What's going on over there?

- And it's against them?

- Oh.

- Oh, it's against them.

- Then I'll buy whatever you have left.

- Yes.

Yes!

- Does this cover it?

- Wow.

- I think I do.

- 1500, 1600, and 1700.

The winner is michael.

- Yes! - Okay,

I demand a recount!

- And in the true spirit of christmas,

we have enough to buy costumes, a manger,

and a glowing baby jesus.

- [rachael] love that.

- Ellen!

Ellen! - Wow.

- I guess I'm buying dinner.

- Oh, that's okay.

I gotta take sophia home.

- Oh, no, no no.

I'm gonna take soph home

and you guys are gonna have a good night.

- I won't wait up.

- I'm sorry, what?

- I like this one.

- Good.

- So, what are you up for?

- Oh.

I'm gonna go with lady's choice.

- All right, I have something in mind.

- no, I am, I'm a total foodie.

I just, japanese food, I can't do the chopsticks.

- [both] thank you.

- Oh yeah, no, chopsticks?

- Yeah. - All in the thumb.

- Yeah, but see I have really small thumbs though.

- I'm sorry, you have what?

- Oh, I have small thumbs.

Look at that, I know.

I know.

- They are not small.

They're fine, they're great.

You have great thumbs. - Okay.

You're just being nice now.

- I don't really hear that.

- [rachael] oh, no, why not?

- My students call me professor try hard.

- What, why?

- I give 'em a lot of homework.

- Oh, no, really?

- Yeah.

Great literature is only learned

by turning the pages of time.

There's a lot of pages.

- I definitely love to read.

You will not find a television in my bedroom.

- Me too.

- Okay, Sunday's are for?

- Easy, mediation, hiking, reading.

- Okay, did my dad clue you in?

He must've.

- No.

Speaking of your dad.

- Mm-hm?

- How long has he been grooming you

to take over the family biz?

- Oh man.

Seriously, as long as I can remember.

I was just a little kid and I was elbow deep inside.

I mean, I was helping with the birthing

and that was not something that you say at a dinner date.

But I liked it.

I really liked it.

- You liked it?

- No, I mean, not that part.

I mean, I like helping animals.

It was really, it was a lot of hard work,

but it was really rewarding.

- Now that I understand.

Try that with college kids.

- Oh yeah, no.

- So, what's next?

- Well, I mean, as soon as we sell the clinic,

my dad wants to travel.

I'm just really worried about his health.

- No no no.

What's next with rachael?

- Music store.

- Nice.

- Oh yeah, my mom was a music teacher,

and I just love loved listening to her sing

and play piano.

And you know, I just thought to myself,

well just why not be around that more?

- So no more animals?

- Not for now.

You know, maybe someday.

But I'm in a place in my life

that if a opportunity shows up,

I gotta go for it.

'cause it might not come around again.

- Are you single?

- Well that was pretty forward.

- But you are out on a date with, you know.

- With...

- Me.

- Oh.

- Single dad, beautiful daughter, I have to protect.

I just can't let anybody into our circle.

- There's no one else.

Just me.

- Can I get you guys anything else?

- Would you mind taking our picture?

- Sure.

- Is that weird?

- No. - Okay.

Thank you.

Come on, we just meet.

- Well, what should I call it then?

- A shared dinner engagement.

- Oh, come on.

Engagement, date, what's the difference?

All right, all right, what time does sadler come?

- Three o'clock.

- Three o'clock, oh, I'm so busy then.

- No, dad, no.

No, he needs to see the clinic in action.

- Why do I have to sell the clinic?

I don't need the money.

- Because if you don't sell the clinic,

you're never going to retire.

- Is that so bad?

- Yes, dad, please.

Come on, this is for your health.

- My health?

Look at me, I'm fit as a fiddle.

- Okay, I can't keep having this conversation.

I got a chihuahua in two.

- Okay.

- Dad.

- What, he's cute.

I got a barn call, I'll be back.

You've been buzz'n since you got in here.

Life is good.

I was also thinking about making christmas dinner.

- I'm pretty sure that's my gig.

- I know, but you do it like 365 days a year.

I'm pretty sure you can take a break.

I was also thinking about inviting a few people over.

- Rachael?

- No.

Todd.

- What?

- Todd's got a crush on you.

- Yeah, I noticed that.

Yeah, yeah.

- Should I?

- Invite todd?

I think you should invite rachael.

But I'm gonna be cooking.

- [both] yeah.

- You serious?

Come on, man.

(michael chuckles)

- are you sure these rooms can handle farm animals?

- Oh yeah.

We had goldfish in here this morning.

And our facility does offer on-site services

to dozens of different farms in the area

with plenty of room to grow.

It's just that my dad, he slowed down a little bit.

- Good.

And the asking price?

- Well, I mean, it's negotiable,

but honestly, it's really fair.

I mean, we're giving you an established clientele

and a storefront.

You know, my dad has built this place

over the last 40 years.

It's a little comfortable. - I know she's here.

I hear her voice.

- Hey.

- Brad, what are you doing here?

- Wow, good to see you too.

Brought you some roses.

- Nope.

- Aw.

Hey buddy.

- How you doing? - Brad thomas.

You really buying this place?

Wow, your daddy giving you a little loan?

- I'm paying cash.

- Wow, doctor sadler, here's my card

and I think I might have a deal for you.

And that's exclusive, that's just for you.

Come on, sweetie, I miss us.

- See right there, that is the problem

There's only brad.

- I know, it's been hard for me

and I'm still not use to exposing myself to someone.

- Literally, you know you have problems.

- Come on, sweetie.

I know I've made mistakes and I've really thought about it.

And now I know, I know what I want.

I want you.

- Brad, I'm not an asset.

- Come on, sweetie.

Let's travel the world.

Let's live on an island.

- No no no no no.

You, you want to live on an island.

I like it here, I'm comfortable.

- You're comfortable?

In this dump?

No, you're not.

You're trapped and I'm the guy that's holding

that door wide open for you.

- Oh yeah?

If it's open, why don't you go use it

and just leave me alone, okay?

I got a pug with a personality disorder

so I have to go.

- Okay, can I call you?

- From the belly of a shark.

- (laughs) that's why I love you, rachael.

Princess. (laughs)

merry christmas, sweetheart.

- Merry christmas.

- [michael] sophia.

(boys laughing)

- I got this, everything okay.

Hey!

Come on, no laughing.

- Come on, come on.

Soph, come on, hun.

Soph.

- [sophia] I'm never coming out, dad.

- Come on, you were great.

Nobody even noticed.

- Oh see, you noticed.

- Hey sophie, it's rachael.

So you know, some of the most successful people in life

make the most mistakes.

Because they are always trying

and they use their mistakes to make themselves better.

So, if you messed up but you gave it your all,

well, then you've got nothing to be ashamed of.

You have to believe in yourself.

I know I believe in you.

- You do?

- Yeah, I do.

- Thank you.

(michael chuckles)

(wind howling)

- what is a marsupial?

Hey, thank you.

I hear brad's back in town.

- Shark ate his phone.

- That makes perfect sense.

Who is charles darwin?

- [tv] who is charles darwin?

- What did you say?

- We're done.

- Oh good.

'cause it'd be very strange me dating donna.

- Dad, you know that she just tolerates you, right?

- No no.

You know, you've been on a playground, right?

You know the way a girl pretends not to like the boy

so the boy likes her.

Same concept, it's classic doctor spock.

- The vulcan?

- Him too, mm-hm.

Any man that doesn't treat you like the queen of England,

off with his head.

(phone ringing)

- oh.

Hello.

Oh, no, michael, it's me.

I was just...

- That prince charming.

- [rachael] hi, yes.

- Tell him to live long and prosper.

- [rachael] no, I haven't eaten.

- Ooh! - Yeah, yeah.

I can come over for dinner.

- What is an invertebrate?

- No, veggies give her gas

and I'm talking silent but deadlies

that'll coat your nostrils for days.

So, what are you gonna do about rachael?

- Well, she's not speaking to me right now.

- You think your father and I always got along?

- No.

I mean, I'm not sure.

- Has dennis sold the clinic?

- He had a young doctor looking at this afternoon.

- Hm, any idea what it's going for?

- Two million.

- Wow, you're kidding?

Gee, another millionaire in town.

It's been so lonely on top.

How long you staying?

- I don't know, maybe a couple weeks.

- Oh good, I'm taking a new years cruise.

So you can stay and watch mrs. Pickles.

- [rachael] I literally can't eat one more bite of this.

- Emma's a really good cook.

- [rachael] she really is.

- Let me grab these for you guys.

- Thank you. - Oh, I will help.

- She's adorable.

- Yeah, she says I smother her.

- Okay, my dad says the exact same thing.

I don't think that would call that smothering though.

I mean, look, I get it.

I'm a little protective, but he's all I got.

When I was young, he would put us in the car

and we would drive around for hours

with absolutely no destination in mind.

We would just go and explore

and go rock hunting and we'd go see caves.

And we'd go on picnics.

We'd do everything together.

- Sounds to me like driving wasn't the thing that he loved.

- Yep, I never thought about it like that.

- To driving.

- Here's to driving.

- And we said good night like normal people.

- Oh, you like a normal person?

- That's right.

I had the best first date.

Thank you for cooking me dinner,

and I love you for it.

- You have really bad morning breath.

- So? - It's disgusting.

You need to check out that.

Disgusting!

Can you make coffee?

- Yep.

- Morning.

- Dad, do I really smother you?

- Yes.

Although I prefer to use the term hover.

- It's that bad?

- Well no, I always felt it was coming from a place of love.

Although I may have on occasion felt annoyed.

- Annoyed, I annoy him.

I annoy him.

- All right, let's change this subject

for one minute, shall we?

This little puppy you brought in the other day.

- It's twinkie.

- Of course you gave her a name, didn't you?

I want you to make sure that she's all right

because we have to find a new home for her right away.

- Yeah, why?

- Because sadler came back with an offer

that was better than we were hoping.

- What?

- Time for me to do some traveling,

and it's time for you to maybe grow some wings of your own.

And this puppy right here,

this puppy needs a home.

- I'm on it, I'm on it.

- Okay, we good?

- We're good.

- Okay.

- [brad] I'm telling ya, it could be an emergency.

Please go tell rachael.

- Look, brad, we just closed for the holidays.

- Could you please help my dad in the back, please?

- It's not what it looks like.

It's mrs. Pickles.

She's got bad gas.

(dog farts)

oh, see?

Do you smell that?

- Oh, okay.

Okay, I will have a look at her in the back.

Yeah, you know your mom brings her in here all the time.

She's got stomach issues.

She's a chihuahua, it's normal.

She's gonna be okay, right cutie?

- Okay.

I just want her to be as healthy as possible.

I would be crushed if something happened to her.

- I won't anything happen to her.

Right, cutie?

- Hey, I am sorry about dinner.

And I really wanna earn your trust.

- Yeah, that ship has sailed.

- Can we have dinner tonight?

Please.

- You had four years.

- Okay, we'll do something platonic like the old days.

How about a drive-in movie?

- Really?

- Karaoke.

I'll go get my stuff.

Good job, mrs. Pickles. (laughs)

- uh-huh, no big deal.

of the clinic.

Can we meet up tomorrow? - Yeah.

Thanks for calling.

- [rachael] oh, thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow, bye.

- What was that about?

- Mind your business.

Rachael had something come up.

She just had to cancel sophie's lesson for today.

We're gonna pick it back up tomorrow.

- The christmas eve pageant is tomorrow.

- Mm-hm, morning last minute session.

- Okay, here's the plan.

- Yeah.

- That was the last customer.

Officially the christmas holidays.

So we're gonna go out, we're gonna get drinks.

We're gonna dinner, that's what we're gonna do.

- You know, we're never gonna find a sitter for sophie.

- Okay, soph is almost 14.

Mom left you with me, at what, at 12?

- Yeah, and look at you.

- A very valid point, okay.

So, I'm gonna find her a sitter,

and that's what we're doing.

I said that.

I mean, she's uptight.

- She reminds me a little bit of carol.

- I don't know, maybe a little bit.

But I like that she's different.

I'm not trying to replace carol.

- I know that.

- But she's fun.

I like her.

No.

(rachael sighs)

- [rachael] brad!

- Morning.

Hey.

You mad?

- I don't get mad.

- I can see that.

- You could've told me.

- I know, I know.

I tried.

You were just so happy.

And I really didn't wanna ruin that for you.

- Well, it's gone now.

I still have to explain to sophie.

- Explain what?

- [emma] hey.

- Hi, explain nothing.

- Oh, okay.

Well, I'm ready to go,

so dad, are you taking me?

- Taking you where?

- My vocal lesson with rachael.

- I'm gonna take you to that.

- No no, I'll take her.

Ready?

- Okay.

- [michael] okay, I'll be right out.

- All right.

- Brad, I said no.

You really should've taken this ring.

- Nu-uh, no, you hesitated.

That means there's a yes in there.

You just need some time.

- Brad, it looks so expensive.

You should just come and pick it up.

- I can't, I'm helping the pastor.

- Really, doing what?

- Refreshments.

- Well, don't give anyone food poisoning.

(brad laughs)

- ye of little faith.

(blender whirring) oh!

Shoot!

Oh boy, I gotta go.

- Okay.

Yeah, that is really big.

And really fake.

Ugh, brad.

Oh, no no no.

All right, we're just gonna get you off.

Come on.

- [sophia] rachael!

- [rachael] hi.

- Hey.

- So, are you ready for your lesson?

- Of course.

- All right, why don't you drop your stuff off

and we'll get ready.

Hey, look, about last night.

- Oh, the big real estate deal.

- Right, so I sort of fibbed about that.

- Oh, really?

With brad, that thing.

- Yeah, I should've told you about that.

- No, no need.

- Oh, but see, there's so much more to the story.

- Not to me.

I actually heard everything I need to hear.

But thank you for helping sophia.

She's doing great.

Be back in an hour.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Bye.

(rachael sighs)

(soft somber music)

- what's up?

Whatcha doing?

- When you're open, you can never a real deep clean in.

- On christmas eve?

- It's therapy.

- You wanna talk?

- No.

- [emma] you sure?

- Yep.

- Okay, I'm not gonna leave here until we talk.

- You're gonna be here a long time then.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

I'm just out of the dating game.

Maybe for good.

- Yeah, I get it.

Again, I'm really sorry.

- I'm good.

A little help?

- Me? - Yeah.

- No.

I have some last minute shopping to do.

- Must be nice to be the boss, huh?

(emma laughs)

later.

- [emma] later.

- Nervous, that's just really a given.

- I know. - Right?

- [sophia] I'm excited.

- You are excited?

Good, good. - Yeah.

- You get costume all worked out?

- Yes.

- Oh, hi.

- Hey. - Hey.

- So, tonight's a big night.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- And we got that elusive e, didn't we?

- We did.

- Yeah. - From the diaphragm.

- Good, from the diaphragm.

- You ready?

- Okay.

Bye rach.

- Bye sophia.

- You stoked you got the e?

- I am, I feel good about it.

- You're gonna be so good.

- Thank you.

- You nervous? - Hey, I heard the good news.

Congrats.

- Thanks. - Congratulations.

- Oh, um.

- (gasps) congratulations.

Rachael, I heard the news.

Brad?

Oh, it's gigantic.

- I know, right?

It's fake, yeah.

Get this off.

Please, just come off.

Oh dad! - I was just coming.

- I just can't, please. - What was going on?

- Not now.

- You wanna talk about it?

- Dad, you're in the ladies room.

- Everybody, stay where you are please.

- Get off!

- Let me see it.

Oh, brad, do you love him?

- Not like that!

Oh dad, I made a really big mistake.

- Michael.

- And I don't think there's any way to win him back,

and I can't stop thinking him.

- Okay, okay.

You're a smart woman, rachael.

Just like your mother.

And like your mother you're gonna make

the right decision, okay?

You just follow your heart and you can't go wrong.

- Dad, you gotta get out of the bathroom now.

- Yeah, okay, okay.

Try some dental floss around the top of the finger.

- Does it work?

- Look it up. - Okay.

- Congratulations.

- I need to talk to rachael. Can I use your phone?

- No.

- I need to ask her something.

- Come on, you have the song.

You're gonna be fine.

- No, dad, I have to ask her something.

- No.

- [sophia] why not?

- Because I said so.

- You are acting a kid.

- You don't need rachael to sing better, all right?

Can we just stop talking about this? Please, I wanna eat.

- Okay, you okay?

- Yeah, why?

- Okay, say it, don't spray it.

- How you holding up?

- Not working, not working.

- You finally get what you want,

and now you don't know if you want it anymore.

- I know that I want this thing off my finger.

- You call michael?

- No.

Dad, I don't know what I'm gonna say.

- Sounds to me like you've already made up your mind.

- Dad, it just happened so fast.

- Love's a bullet, baby.

Don't let it take you down.

- Dad, I really hurt him.

- He'll understand.

- And what if he doesn't?

- Do something.

Tell him how you feel.

Yeah?

You're not gonna get him back standing here talking to me.

This...

- Yeah.

- Oof, try some coconut oil on that, all right?

- Coconut, okay.

- Who loves you?

- You.

- I do.

(soft somber music)

- you okay?

- I'm fine.

- Do you remember when we were kids

how I use to break out in hives every time we went camping?

Mom and dad could not figure out what I was allergic to

and we had to leave the campground every year

and go get a hotel.

About 10 years ago I figured out what it was.

Stress.

And I'm sorry that I wasn't there.

I know when she died, that was really hard on you,

and I should've--

- no no.

No, look at me.

I'm happy.

Come here.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

I forgot to set the alarm at the cafe.

So I'm gonna turn that off.

- No no, I'll get it.

- No.

- Yeah yeah, listen.

Please, go chill with sophie.

The pageant's coming up and she's like...

She's says I'm hovering over here.

I make her nervous.

- She said that?

- Mm-hm.

- Yeah, okay.

- All right, cool, I'll see you there.

- Mm-hm, I'll see you.

- [michael] bye.

- Bye.

- Got it! - Okay, just a little left.

- [ellen] I got it!

- Just a little bit more right.

- I got it.

- [pastor] just a little bit right.

(glass shatters) - don't got it.

I'll fix it.

- It looks like maybe you could use a little help.

- I think you could more than I.

- Yeah, I think I'm just gonna cut the whole finger off.

- I have shears in the green shed if you wanna.

- Oh okay.

Look, can I ask you a question?

- Always go with your instinct.

- My dad said the extra same thing.

- Wise man.

Look, whatever you decide, just consider the fact

that there are three people affected by this decision.

- Three?

- You, michael, and brad.

- [rachael] brad.

- You may not wanna be with him,

but you have to consider his feelings too.

- Yeah, and now on the other hand, michael.

Yeah, I don't think that he's gonna forgive me.

I mean, I lied to him.

- Sounds like a pickle.

- Pickle, mrs. Pickle, she's so cute, right?

- Who?

- The dog, no?

Nevermind.

So, what do I do?

- First, we start by being honest with yourself.

And then you go be honest with them.

- And what happens if they both leave me?

- Then neither one of them was right for you.

God works in mysterious ways.

- Yes.

You're good, you're good.

- Actually I need some refreshments picked up

from brad's house.

Might be a good time to go clear the air?

- Yeah.

Okay.

I really wish that I could get this ring off my.

- Mysterious ways.

(doorbell rings)

- [brad] rachael?

- Hello brad.

- [brad] what are you doing here?

- Okay, two things.

One, I gotta pick up the cookies.

And number two, I really wanna talk.

- Yeah, well, the last batch is cooking.

Gingerbread men.

- Oh, you made gingerbread men?

- I did.

And one of them attacked me

and mrs. Pickles barely saved my life.

She gassed them out.

- Oh stop.

- Brad, who's at the door?

Oh, rachael.

- Hi donna.

- Hi.

Is dennis going to the show tonight?

- I suppose.

- Well, I mean, not that I care.

- Of course not.

- Who said I did?

- No one.

- Well, there's a formal event,

and I should get ready.

I'd like to look my best,

but not for anyone special.

- Who would it be for?

- No one. - Yeah.

- Rachael, sweetie.

- Yeah, look, listen.

Come here, I really wanna talk to you about this

because this has really been weighing really heavy on me.

And well, I can't marry you.

- Oh, well why not?

- I don't love you.

- Okay, so then you hate me.

- No, I don't hate you.

We're good friends

and we're really good at being good friends.

Just with no commitment.

I mean, there's a lot of love here.

I'm just not in love with you.

And, well, I finally know the difference.

- I get it, I do.

- Look, despite everything that we've been through,

I really do think you are gonna make

an amazing husband some day.

- No, no, I'm not.

- [rachael] why?

- You can keep the ring, it's a fake.

- Yeah, I know.

(brad sighs)

- and I wanted to marry you because I'm broke.

- [both women] what?

- I made a bad business investment with tony bruno.

I borrowed $200,000 and if I don't get it back to him,

this will be my last christmas.

- And why didn't you tell me?

- Mom, because you're always hovering around me.

I mean, you're always paying things.

I need some space.

The music festival was gonna be my way out.

But it flopped.

And the artist didn't even show up,

and I had to refund everybody's tickets.

I'm sorry for everything.

- I know, I know.

(brad sighs)

- all right, I'm gonna go get the cookies.

- Okay.

- Well, I guess this is the eve for coming clean.

So, tell your father to save a seat for moi.

- Okay.

- Excuse me.

- [michael] sorry, we're closed for christmas eve.

- No, I'm not here for the food.

Dennis, we meet the other night.

- How are you, dennis?

- How are you, man?

- Good.

- Do you have a second that I could maybe talk to you?

- Sure, have a seat.

- Okay.

Just take a minute.

- [michael] sure.

- I'm sure rachael's talked to you about her mom.

- Mm-hm.

- Elizabeth, spectacular woman, outstanding.

Every much like rachael.

Independent and resilient and thick-headed, yeah?

(laughs)

when we met, she was engaged

to the high school quarterback star.

He had a giant scholarship to yale, right?

I was this scrawny kid.

I had no business picking up the homecoming queen.

Much less, bobby's finance, right?

But man, I was driven, you know?

She really make me feel alive.

I heard no a lot more than I heard yes,

but being the tenacious son-of-a-gun that I am,

I persisted and eventually I stole her from bobby, right?

- Dennis.

I get it.

- Okay.

- But she didn't tell me about brad,

and I have to protect sophia.

I've only dated one woman since sophia's mom passed.

And when things went wrong and affected her,

I just have to be really careful right now.

That's where I'm at, you understand that, right?

- Yes, and I commend you for that.

I mean, that was very honorable.

But michael, everybody make mistakes.

She thought brad was long gone.

And speaking for myself,

I never thought he was in the running in the first place.

All right, I know I'm rambling.

Dennis, come on, get to the point.

Okay, the real test of love is forgiveness.

Can you forgive her for what she did?

Because I've never seen her act the way she's acting

around another man.

And michael, that makes you special.

That's my whole spiel.

(michael sighs)

- and I appreciate you.

- All right, thanks for taking a minute to listen to me.

- Merry christmas.

- Merry christmas.

(michael sighs)

(crickets chirping)

(church bell ringing)

- [emma] you look great.

- Thanks.

- [emma] how you feeling?

- Like I'm gonna mess up.

- ho ho ho!

- Sophia, sophia, I just wanna say

that that was so wonderful.

Thank you, young lady.

- Yeah, and you know, I have not had chills like that

since luciano pavarotti.

And his voice did things.

- I actually have all his albums.

- Oh, you do?

- Michael pryor?

I'm sorry, is michael pryor still here?

Oh, there you are.

Okay, you're here, hi.

Hi, sophie, that was a great job by the way.

Yeah.

Woo, it's really hot in here, isn't it?

Kinda a little hot.

I'm up here having to say something

and I realized I am making a fool out of myself.

It's kind of embarrassing.

Michael, I lied and I hurt you.

And you don't deserve it.

And well, what I wanna say to you

is that this happened so fast

and this was just so unexpected.

You know, what I realized is that I have been in love

with an idea of something.

I didn't even know what it was until I met you.

From the moment we met, you have just lifted up my heart,

and I have not been on solid ground since.

It's really beautiful.

And it's really scary.

And I think the most terrifying thing

would just be that if you left

and I didn't say I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

(uplifting music)

(crowd applauding)

- a wise man once told me

that a true test of love is forgiveness.

- A wise man, huh?

- Mm-hm.

He's always meddling.

(michael chuckles)

(singing in foreign language)

- tony, relax, I'm getting ya the money.

My mom's gonna cut a check tomorrow morning.

Right when she...

Oh, hold on, tony.

Hold on, hold on.

- Well, hello there.

I hear you're the business of promoting concerts.

- Well, I'm not sure I'm very good at it.

- Well, have you ever thought of promoting a concert

at the north pole?

- Wow, when?

- Tomorrow night.

You get me a super star, and I'll get you enough money

to pay off tony.

- (laughs) yes, thank you.

- You're welcome, brad.

I'll just finish up here,

and I'll see myself out.

Merry christmas, brad.

- Merry christmas.

Tony, you're not gonna believe

who's in my living room right now.

- Thanks.

- There's strawberries in there.

- And todd.

- Todd.

- Oh, that smells delicious.

- So yummy.

- Wow, thank you so much
