Oh...
13
00:00:53,888 --> 00:00:54,653
Hi, mom.
14
00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:55,954
Honey.
15
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:56,755
Great to see you, Eve.
16
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:57,523
Hi, John.
17
00:00:57,558 --> 00:01:01,060
Yeah, you too.
18
00:01:01,095 --> 00:01:03,862
You look wonderful.
19
00:01:03,931 --> 00:01:05,064
Just one bag!
20
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:07,066
Mom, I'm only staying
three weeks.
21
00:01:07,101 --> 00:01:08,634
Nella packs this much
for a weekend.
22
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:09,601
Not true.
23
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:11,303
Oh, that is entirely true!
24
00:01:11,338 --> 00:01:12,271
Entirely true.
25
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:14,673
Stop, no ganging up on Mom!
26
00:01:26,353 --> 00:01:28,787
I drove through town
on the way in.
27
00:01:28,823 --> 00:01:30,289
You know, it really is
picture perfect.
28
00:01:30,357 --> 00:01:32,825
Especially at Christmas.
29
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:34,560
I saw the town tree was up.
30
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:36,028
Have they had the lighting
ceremony yet?
31
00:01:36,063 --> 00:01:37,396
Oh, last weekend.
32
00:01:37,465 --> 00:01:39,298
But you know they save
the stars on top.
33
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:40,732
Yes, until Christmas Eve.
34
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:41,867
I remember.
35
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:43,902
And I know how much you love
to decorate
36
00:01:43,938 --> 00:01:46,205
so I did wait to buy a tree
for the bakery
37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,673
so we could go together.
38
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:49,007
Mom, thank you.
39
00:01:49,043 --> 00:01:50,342
You're very sweet.
40
00:01:50,377 --> 00:01:52,644
Wait until you see the bakery
at night all lit up.
41
00:01:52,713 --> 00:01:54,379
Well, what can I say?
42
00:01:54,415 --> 00:01:56,315
I like to celebrate
all the holidays.
43
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:59,084
And Christmas is your favourite.
44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,652
How could it not be?
45
00:02:00,688 --> 00:02:02,821
Family comes together.
46
00:02:04,892 --> 00:02:06,859
Thank you.
47
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:08,494
I have missed you guys.
48
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:10,429
I'm so happy you're here.
49
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:20,572
Abby!
50
00:02:20,608 --> 00:02:22,441
Mrs. Holden's going to be here
any minute to pick you up.
51
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:24,209
Sorry, I was on the phone
with Mom.
52
00:02:24,278 --> 00:02:25,477
Okay.
53
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:27,346
Did you pack a sweater?
54
00:02:27,381 --> 00:02:29,581
Yeah, red one...
uh, snowflakes.
55
00:02:29,617 --> 00:02:30,749
And a headband?
56
00:02:30,784 --> 00:02:32,551
Two so you've got options.
57
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:33,919
What about shoes?
58
00:02:33,954 --> 00:02:35,187
What's wrong with the ones
you're wearing?
59
00:02:35,222 --> 00:02:36,455
They're snow boots.
60
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:37,956
There's snow outside.
61
00:02:37,992 --> 00:02:40,058
I have to take them off when I
have a sleepover at Caroline's.
62
00:02:40,094 --> 00:02:43,729
Okay, so take them off and show
her these awesome reindeer socks
63
00:02:43,764 --> 00:02:44,863
I got you.
64
00:02:44,899 --> 00:02:45,697
Yeah?
65
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:47,232
All right, yeah.
66
00:02:47,301 --> 00:02:48,834
I'll be out in a sec.
67
00:02:50,104 --> 00:02:51,503
I wish you could stay longer.
68
00:02:51,539 --> 00:02:53,305
Mom, this is the longest
I've stayed since your wedding.
69
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:55,140
That was almost four years ago.
70
00:02:55,176 --> 00:02:56,608
Well, it feels like yesterday.
71
00:02:56,677 --> 00:02:59,478
I think I might've been working
in Kansas City at the time.
72
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:01,613
Where haven't you been
by this point?
73
00:03:01,649 --> 00:03:04,149
I like seeing the country.
74
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:05,951
You're just like your dad was.
75
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:07,252
Until he met you.
76
00:03:07,288 --> 00:03:09,388
Is that what it'll take for you
to settle down,
77
00:03:09,423 --> 00:03:11,590
falling in love?
78
00:03:11,625 --> 00:03:12,958
Wow, it took you an hour
and a half
79
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:14,426
to bring up my love life.
80
00:03:14,495 --> 00:03:15,894
You're slowing down on me.
81
00:03:15,963 --> 00:03:19,398
Hush!
[laughing]
82
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:20,966
I am a little serious though.
83
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:23,902
You always take these interim
school superintendent jobs,
84
00:03:23,938 --> 00:03:25,871
never anything permanent.
85
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:27,372
I mean, I will one day.
86
00:03:27,408 --> 00:03:28,941
Here in Franklin, maybe?
87
00:03:28,976 --> 00:03:32,144
If they offer you a permanent
position?
88
00:03:32,179 --> 00:03:35,280
Mom, look...
89
00:03:35,316 --> 00:03:37,516
My contract is to get the school
district out of the red
90
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:40,085
and then make it easier for
the new school superintendent,
91
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,354
whomever that is.
92
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:45,023
Then, fingers crossed,
I'm off to San Diego.
93
00:03:45,059 --> 00:03:47,092
There's a six-month job there
that I would love to get.
94
00:03:47,127 --> 00:03:48,994
California is so far away.
95
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:50,829
Or you could think of it like
you have a daughter
96
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:53,432
next to the Pacific Ocean
that you could come visit.
97
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:56,868
Oh, well... when you put it that
way I suppose it's not so bad.
98
00:03:56,937 --> 00:03:58,403
See?
99
00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:07,379
Hey, um, did the Murphys move?
100
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:09,781
A couple years ago.
101
00:04:09,817 --> 00:04:11,049
That's Liam and Abby.
102
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:12,651
They moved in after the Murphys.
103
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:15,320
Abby is just the sweetest girl.
104
00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:18,357
Yeah, with really good aim.
105
00:04:18,392 --> 00:04:19,291
[laughs]
106
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:22,761
Okay, have fun. All right?
107
00:04:22,796 --> 00:04:23,595
Bye.
108
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:25,063
Don't stay up too late.
109
00:04:25,132 --> 00:04:27,065
Or do, but just tell me
cool stories.
110
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:28,567
Bye.
111
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:02,301
Oh.
112
00:05:02,336 --> 00:05:03,669
Sorry.
113
00:05:03,704 --> 00:05:05,404
Whoa! My goodness.
114
00:05:08,809 --> 00:05:10,909
Uh oh, now they've gone
and done it.
115
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:12,811
What?
116
00:05:12,846 --> 00:05:14,413
Look at them, they bumped
into each other,
117
00:05:14,448 --> 00:05:15,847
spilled coffee.
118
00:05:15,883 --> 00:05:17,382
Classic meet cute.
119
00:05:17,451 --> 00:05:19,451
It looks more messy than cute.
120
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:22,220
No, no, look at their
body language.
121
00:05:22,256 --> 00:05:24,489
They're intrigued.
122
00:05:24,525 --> 00:05:27,259
And they'll try to fight it
but it's pointless.
123
00:05:27,328 --> 00:05:29,628
Fate has intervened.
124
00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:37,736
That could've been you,
you know.
125
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:39,371
Yeah, well I'm super glad
it wasn't.
126
00:05:39,406 --> 00:05:41,807
What if that suit guy was
your one true love?
127
00:05:41,842 --> 00:05:43,375
If suit guy was
my one true love,
128
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:44,743
then the universe
would've made sure
129
00:05:44,812 --> 00:05:46,712
we spilled coffee on each other.
130
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:48,113
That is a very good point.
131
00:05:48,148 --> 00:05:50,082
What makes you such
a meet cute expert?
132
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:52,117
A movie buff, son
of a movie buff dad,
133
00:05:52,152 --> 00:05:53,919
and my movie buff
11-year-old daughter
134
00:05:53,954 --> 00:05:55,854
happens to love a love story.
135
00:05:55,889 --> 00:05:57,356
Whereas it turns out,
136
00:05:57,391 --> 00:05:58,824
people often spill drinks
on each other.
137
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:00,592
And fall in love.
138
00:06:00,627 --> 00:06:02,361
It's a thing, look it up.
139
00:06:02,396 --> 00:06:04,129
I just might.
140
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:07,733
But first I have to go
meet my friend.
141
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:08,900
Yeah, me too.
142
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,302
Good luck keeping your shirt
spill free.
143
00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:11,436
Oh, it's not up to me.
144
00:06:11,472 --> 00:06:12,404
It's the universe.
145
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:13,905
Hmm-mmm.
146
00:06:13,974 --> 00:06:15,340
Oh, you're here!
147
00:06:15,376 --> 00:06:16,908
Oh!
148
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:18,577
For longer than a weekend this time.
149
00:06:18,612 --> 00:06:20,078
Yeah, but not by much.
150
00:06:20,147 --> 00:06:22,314
I'll take what I can get.
151
00:06:22,349 --> 00:06:23,315
Hi honey.
152
00:06:23,384 --> 00:06:24,182
Hi Mom.
153
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:24,916
Hi Darcy.
154
00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:25,917
Hi Nella.
155
00:06:25,953 --> 00:06:27,519
Your favourite.
156
00:06:27,588 --> 00:06:28,754
Thank you.
157
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:31,356
Enjoy.
158
00:06:31,392 --> 00:06:32,657
I love your mom.
159
00:06:32,693 --> 00:06:33,759
She loves you.
160
00:06:33,794 --> 00:06:35,127
Aww.
161
00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:36,428
Are you sure you're not
giving up a showing to meet me?
162
00:06:36,497 --> 00:06:37,629
It is Saturday.
163
00:06:37,664 --> 00:06:39,030
No, no!
164
00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:40,298
I sold a house last week and
I got a commission cheque
165
00:06:40,334 --> 00:06:41,366
on a condo.
166
00:06:41,402 --> 00:06:42,401
You're buying then!
167
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:43,735
Yeah, right? I got your coffee
for you.
168
00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:45,237
Thank you.
169
00:06:45,272 --> 00:06:48,106
So now you can just launch into
telling me who that guy was.
170
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:51,076
Uh... just someone
I didn't bump into.
171
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:52,611
What does that mean?
172
00:06:52,646 --> 00:06:56,314
[Laughing]
173
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:57,449
Who is she?
174
00:06:57,484 --> 00:06:59,484
She's my neighbour's daughter.
175
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,552
Forgot to get her name.
176
00:07:00,621 --> 00:07:01,686
You didn't ask her name?
177
00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:02,921
No.
178
00:07:02,956 --> 00:07:05,590
Seriously, you're out
of practice my friend.
179
00:07:05,659 --> 00:07:09,060
I'm a single dad, full-time job,
brain fully occupied.
180
00:07:09,096 --> 00:07:10,295
Yeah, you can only use
that excuse
181
00:07:10,364 --> 00:07:11,897
for so many years
before it expires.
182
00:07:11,965 --> 00:07:13,198
Okay, how about this?
183
00:07:13,267 --> 00:07:15,934
Working nonstop on the school's
Christmas program.
184
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:17,068
How's that going?
185
00:07:17,104 --> 00:07:18,069
It's good.
186
00:07:18,138 --> 00:07:19,171
We got a talented group of kids.
187
00:07:19,206 --> 00:07:20,305
You're a good teacher.
188
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:21,773
For now.
189
00:07:21,842 --> 00:07:24,209
You hear any more rumours
about this new superintendent?
190
00:07:24,278 --> 00:07:27,879
Just that he or she
is temporary.
191
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:28,814
Why temporary?
192
00:07:28,849 --> 00:07:30,115
My guess is the budget.
193
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:31,650
They're always brought in
to do the dirty work.
194
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:33,084
There will be cuts.
195
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,456
Arts programs are always
first on the chopping block.
196
00:07:37,491 --> 00:07:38,890
Wow.
197
00:07:38,926 --> 00:07:42,294
Your mom and step-dad
are so cute.
198
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:44,296
How's it going with John,
by the way?
199
00:07:44,364 --> 00:07:45,497
What do you mean?
200
00:07:45,532 --> 00:07:47,299
Well, I mean this will have been
201
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:49,267
the most time you've spent
with him, right?
202
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:51,970
Yeah, it is and he's
a really nice guy.
203
00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:53,805
My mom's crazy about him, so.
204
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:55,307
Well, that's what's important.
205
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:56,441
Yeah.
206
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:58,677
I'm just so glad
that she's happy.
207
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:01,780
She was so sad for so long
after dad.
208
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:02,747
Yeah.
209
00:08:02,783 --> 00:08:03,849
You too.
210
00:08:03,884 --> 00:08:04,783
Me? No.
211
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,651
Yeah, I was there.
212
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,053
Yeah, well it's not the same.
213
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:09,855
No, no it is not the same.
214
00:08:09,890 --> 00:08:12,657
But it was hard on you.
215
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,161
I mean you gave up music.
216
00:08:16,196 --> 00:08:18,396
Well, that was for the best.
217
00:08:18,432 --> 00:08:19,564
I disagree.
218
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,899
You had a beautiful voice.
219
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:22,100
You have a beautiful voice
220
00:08:22,135 --> 00:08:23,435
if you would just let yourself.
221
00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:26,004
Well, thank you, but what
purpose does that serve
222
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:27,706
for a school superintendent?
223
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:31,109
Hmm?
224
00:08:31,178 --> 00:08:33,645
♪
225
00:08:37,184 --> 00:08:38,650
Thank you so much
for meeting me here.
226
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:41,286
My husband's in bed with a cold
so I'm on skate duty.
227
00:08:41,321 --> 00:08:42,420
No problem, Ms. Harris.
228
00:08:42,456 --> 00:08:43,522
Penelope, please.
229
00:08:43,557 --> 00:08:45,156
And this is just
an informal meet
230
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:46,892
so that you're not left
feeling alone.
231
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:49,661
Getting all the board members
together at the same time
232
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:51,496
is like herding cats.
233
00:08:51,532 --> 00:08:53,598
Well I do appreciate
your guidance.
234
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:54,766
You've looked over the budget?
235
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:56,201
Normally I would
suggest taking
236
00:08:56,236 --> 00:08:57,602
small cuts from everywhere,
but...
237
00:08:57,638 --> 00:08:59,104
We've already done that.
238
00:08:59,139 --> 00:09:00,839
Yes, which doesn't leave us
with many options
239
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:02,774
unless you have a pot of gold
lying around somewhere.
240
00:09:02,809 --> 00:09:04,109
I wish.
241
00:09:04,144 --> 00:09:05,777
And getting people to step up
for fundraising,
242
00:09:05,846 --> 00:09:07,245
it's getting harder.
243
00:09:07,314 --> 00:09:10,615
Parents feel like their
donations just go into a void.
244
00:09:10,651 --> 00:09:12,918
Yes, I have seen that
in a lot of places.
245
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:15,086
I've also seen some of
the districts have success
246
00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:17,122
with shortening the school week
to four days.
247
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,658
Parents would riot here.
248
00:09:19,693 --> 00:09:22,193
Well... that leaves us
with freezing all hiring
249
00:09:22,229 --> 00:09:25,697
and eliminating all
non-essential jobs and programs.
250
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:33,638
Music and art departments.
251
00:09:33,707 --> 00:09:36,408
Across the district,
all grades.
252
00:09:43,617 --> 00:09:45,183
How on earth can you
propose that?
253
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:46,818
It's not something I want to do.
254
00:09:46,853 --> 00:09:48,453
But we have to prioritize
at this point
255
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:51,923
and arts and music
just aren't necessary.
256
00:09:51,992 --> 00:09:53,024
I beg to differ.
257
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:54,159
And your dad would too.
258
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:55,293
Of course he would've,
he was a musician.
259
00:09:55,329 --> 00:09:56,428
So are you.
260
00:09:56,463 --> 00:09:57,796
No, I'm not.
261
00:09:57,831 --> 00:09:59,931
And I haven't been
for a long time.
262
00:09:59,967 --> 00:10:01,967
But music was such a big part
of your life
263
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:03,101
when you were growing up.
264
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:05,470
How can you now say
it isn't important?
265
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:07,606
Because I'm the perfect example.
266
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:08,807
When it was time,
I put away music
267
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:12,077
and I focused on my career.
268
00:10:12,112 --> 00:10:13,545
That's not why you quit singing.
269
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:14,879
Mom.
270
00:10:14,915 --> 00:10:16,481
I'm just saying.
271
00:10:16,516 --> 00:10:20,652
It's not a coincidence that you
stopped after your dad passed.
272
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:42,407
How can I help you,
Miss Morgan?
273
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:44,309
Thank you for meeting me
on such short notice.
274
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:47,312

00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:13,444
Liam.
368
00:15:14,981 --> 00:15:15,947
Eve.
369
00:15:15,982 --> 00:15:17,115
And you are...
370
00:15:17,150 --> 00:15:19,384
Abby's father.
371
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:20,585
The teacher.
372
00:15:20,654 --> 00:15:21,619
Yeah.
373
00:15:21,655 --> 00:15:23,154
And you're Nella's daughter,
right?
374
00:15:23,223 --> 00:15:24,355
Yeah.
375
00:15:24,391 --> 00:15:26,391
Miss Morgan, there you are.
376
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:27,959
Principal Watt is back
in her office
377
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:29,127
whenever you're ready.
378
00:15:29,162 --> 00:15:31,095
Thank you.
379
00:15:31,164 --> 00:15:32,730
No...
380
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:33,464
Yeah.
381
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:34,599
You're the...
382
00:15:34,634 --> 00:15:36,601
Interim school superintendent.
383
00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:38,403
Okay.
384
00:15:38,471 --> 00:15:40,071
Can I talk to you for a second?
385
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:42,507
Sure.
386
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:44,175
Everything okay?
387
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:45,610
Yeah. All good, pumpkin.
388
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:49,180
Just need to, um, go over
some things with Miss Morgan.
389
00:15:50,884 --> 00:15:52,250
So, I guess you know
why I'm here?
390
00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:53,551
Everyone knows
why you're here.
391
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:55,019
The only thing that
travels faster
392
00:15:55,055 --> 00:15:59,223
than small town school gossip
is light.
393
00:15:59,259 --> 00:16:00,425
How bad is it?
394
00:16:00,493 --> 00:16:02,260
I absolutely cannot talk to you
about this.
395
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:03,294
Okay.
396
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:05,096
Will you nod if I guess right?
397
00:16:05,131 --> 00:16:07,365
No, I will not!
398
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,967
Music departments?
399
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:09,934
I have to go.
400
00:16:09,970 --> 00:16:10,935
Art departments?
401
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:12,837
It was nice to meet you, Abby.
402
00:16:12,872 --> 00:16:14,339
Is it all of the departments?
403
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:15,974
Goodbye, Liam.
404
00:16:18,878 --> 00:16:20,411
Is this one of those
conversations
405
00:16:20,447 --> 00:16:22,447
that kids aren't supposed
to ask about?
406
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:25,850
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
407
00:16:27,721 --> 00:16:29,821
(Liam) I can't believe she live across the street.
408
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:30,655
She seemed nice.
409
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:33,725
Should I not like her now?
410
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,793
No, you can like her.
411
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:37,095
It's just a long story.
412
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:40,031
That just means you don't want
to tell me.
413
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:41,232
When did you get so smart?
414
00:16:41,301 --> 00:16:42,800
Always.
415
00:16:42,836 --> 00:16:43,668
That's true.
416
00:16:43,737 --> 00:16:44,736
Oh, don't forget we're supposed
417
00:16:44,771 --> 00:16:47,505
to get our Christmas tree
this week.
418
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:49,140
You forgot.
419
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:50,141
No.
420
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:52,010
I just... I have a lot
on my mind.
421
00:16:52,045 --> 00:16:53,811
Caroline already has hers up.
422
00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:56,447
Well, Caroline is gonna shake
in her shoes
423
00:16:56,483 --> 00:17:01,185
when she sees how sick our
Christmas tree's gonna be.
424
00:17:01,221 --> 00:17:02,687
Don't worry, I'm gonna
get it done.
425
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:05,456
I'm not, I know you're busy.
426
00:17:05,492 --> 00:17:06,924
Hey... I am not so busy
427
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,660
that I cannot get us
a Christmas tree, okay?
428
00:17:09,696 --> 00:17:12,964
Tomorrow, you be here or
you'll be square because we,
429
00:17:12,999 --> 00:17:15,066
you and me, we're getting
the greatest
430
00:17:15,101 --> 00:17:16,534
Christmas tree of all time.
431
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:17,668
You're so weird.
432
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:21,005
I know, I'm the weirdest.
433
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:22,607
Who's there?
434
00:17:24,344 --> 00:17:25,710
Hey. Am I interrupting?
435
00:17:25,745 --> 00:17:28,179
Nope, you are right on time.
436
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:30,648
Come on in.
437
00:17:37,323 --> 00:17:39,257
[Laughing]
438
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:41,392
Is that really you?
439
00:17:41,428 --> 00:17:42,560
It sure is, buddy.
440
00:17:42,595 --> 00:17:44,195
You know, one day you two
can grow up
441
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:46,264
to make questionable
fashion choices.
442
00:17:46,299 --> 00:17:47,899
Your hair is funny.
443
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:48,733
[Laughing]
444
00:17:48,768 --> 00:17:49,233
Is it?
445
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:50,501
Oh!
446
00:17:50,537 --> 00:17:52,804
Uh, do you want to see a photo
of your dad's hair
447
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,072
when he was younger?
448
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:55,673
Okay, bath time!
449
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:57,075
[Laughing]
450
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:58,242
Do you need any help?
451
00:17:58,278 --> 00:17:59,944
No. You guys are reminiscing,
I got this.
452
00:18:00,013 --> 00:18:01,646
Okay boys, upstairs.
453
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:02,914
Bath!
454
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:03,681
No?
455
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:06,017
Wyatt, Tate...
456
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:07,785
go with Daddy and then we can
add another present
457
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:09,320
to the family Christmas
wish list later,
458
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:10,288
like we planned.
459
00:18:10,323 --> 00:18:11,255
Ooh!
460
00:18:11,291 --> 00:18:12,090
Up and over!
461
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:14,692
Okay, guys...
462
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:16,894
You're a genius.
463
00:18:16,930 --> 00:18:19,097
The family Christmas wish list?
464
00:18:19,165 --> 00:18:20,832
It's Brad's latest invention.
465
00:18:20,867 --> 00:18:23,267
He has created a website
for all of the presents
466
00:18:23,303 --> 00:18:24,802
we want for Christmas,
467
00:18:24,838 --> 00:18:27,271
including links, just to avoid
leaving anything up to chance.
468
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:28,606
Like a bridal registry?
469
00:18:28,641 --> 00:18:32,944
That's what happens
when you marry a man in I.T.
470
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:35,746
I still cannot believe you have
two kids and a husband.
471
00:18:35,782 --> 00:18:37,782
Me either!
472
00:18:37,817 --> 00:18:40,151
I just feel so left out
by comparison.
473
00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:42,086
Oh please, you're off
adventuring to the far corners
474
00:18:42,155 --> 00:18:43,187
of the country.
475
00:18:43,223 --> 00:18:45,723
And I have the postcards
to prove it.
476
00:18:45,758 --> 00:18:47,859
Okay, so tell me
how it went today.
477
00:18:47,894 --> 00:18:50,495
Well... everybody hates me.
478
00:18:50,563 --> 00:18:51,462
I don't hate you.
479
00:18:51,498 --> 00:18:52,663
Thanks.
480
00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:54,198
Everybody not related to me
by birth
481
00:18:54,234 --> 00:18:56,167
or that grew up with me,
hates me.
482
00:18:56,236 --> 00:18:57,735
Yeah, but you always say that
when you come
483
00:18:57,770 --> 00:18:59,537
into a new community.
484
00:18:59,572 --> 00:19:01,205
Yeah, but I don't know.
485
00:19:01,274 --> 00:19:03,774
It's different.
It's Franklin.
486
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:05,843
Are you saying you have a soft
spot for our home town?
487
00:19:05,879 --> 00:19:07,945
Because I will sell you a house
like that if you let me.
488
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:09,680
No, no. I mean...
489
00:19:09,716 --> 00:19:10,748
Sorry, yes.
490
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:11,816
Thank you.
491
00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:14,118
I do have a soft spot
for Franklin.
492
00:19:14,154 --> 00:19:18,990
I mean, you and your family are
here and Mom and John are here,
493
00:19:19,025 --> 00:19:20,758
and... I have so many
fond memories of this place
494
00:19:20,793 --> 00:19:26,797
but I don't know, it's...
I can't explain it.
495
00:19:26,866 --> 00:19:29,834
Well, if you ever decide
to stop being a tumbleweed
496
00:19:29,869 --> 00:19:32,870
and you'd like to finally settle
down, please let me know. I...
497
00:19:32,906 --> 00:19:33,738
[Rumbling from upstairs]
498
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:34,672
'Kay...
499
00:19:34,707 --> 00:19:35,473
Oh, wow.
500
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:36,307
That sounded really bad.
501
00:19:36,342 --> 00:19:37,475
I know.
502
00:19:37,544 --> 00:19:39,243
Coming!
503
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:40,545
Go. Do your thing.
504
00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:41,312
I'll be right back.
505
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:42,580
Go.
506
00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:43,881
Ugh!
507
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,587
(Brad) Honey!
508
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:50,655
(Darcy) Oh!
509
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:52,223
Oh my...
510
00:20:15,648 --> 00:20:16,414
Hello, Eve.
511
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:17,715
Hi John.
512
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:19,717
Oh... Christmas cookies,
my favourite!
513
00:20:19,752 --> 00:20:21,152
Mmm.
514
00:20:21,187 --> 00:20:23,054
Nella doesn't want me eating
sugar after 8:00 at night
515
00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:27,024
so enjoy that little perk
of youth while you can.
516
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:31,429
Oh, hey... why were you
at the Baileys?
517
00:20:31,497 --> 00:20:32,463
Baileys?
518
00:20:32,498 --> 00:20:34,131
Yeah.
519
00:20:35,368 --> 00:20:39,036
You know... Liam, Abby...
Baileys.
520
00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:40,938
I saw you coming back
from there.
521
00:20:40,974 --> 00:20:46,244
Yeah, being neighbourly.
522
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:48,512
Oh... okay.
523
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:51,916
I'll get this back to your mom.
524
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,828
You got your gloomy face on.
525
00:21:03,896 --> 00:21:06,430
Well I have been going over this
budget for the millionth time,
526
00:21:06,466 --> 00:21:07,965
hoping for a miracle.
527
00:21:08,001 --> 00:21:10,101
So far nada.
528
00:21:10,136 --> 00:21:12,036
How'd you like doing something
529
00:21:12,071 --> 00:21:15,106
I can guarantee is a whole lot
more fun.
530
00:21:15,141 --> 00:21:16,941
Such as?
531
00:21:17,010 --> 00:21:19,610
Christmas tree shopping
with your mom?
532
00:21:21,381 --> 00:21:22,880
Okay.
533
00:21:22,915 --> 00:21:25,216
I'll get my coat!
534
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:28,119
I haven't done this in so long.
535
00:21:28,187 --> 00:21:29,520
It's right here every year.
536
00:21:29,555 --> 00:21:30,621
Yes Mom, I know.
537
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:33,224
I'm glad.
538
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:34,859
You act like I never come home.
539
00:21:34,894 --> 00:21:36,994
It's never enough for me.
540
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:40,431
Now, if I recall, you are
awfully particular
541
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:41,866
about your Christmas trees.
542
00:21:41,901 --> 00:21:42,967
I am.
543
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:44,635
Balsam Fir, at least
seven feet tall...
544
00:21:44,704 --> 00:21:45,369
Mmhmm.
545
00:21:45,405 --> 00:21:46,070
No gaps.
546
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:47,471
Okay.
547
00:21:49,442 --> 00:21:51,375
No, it's a little short.
548
00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:54,578
Ooh...
549
00:21:58,751 --> 00:22:01,018
Just like this one.
550
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:03,921
Oh, hi.
551
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:05,389
Hi.
552
00:22:06,459 --> 00:22:07,091
Hello there, you two.
553
00:22:07,126 --> 00:22:09,193
Hi Miss Bell.
554
00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:11,028
Uh, you both have met?
555
00:22:11,064 --> 00:22:12,330
We have.
556
00:22:12,398 --> 00:22:13,731
Earlier.
557
00:22:13,766 --> 00:22:14,765
Hi Eve.
558
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:15,733
Hi Abby.
559
00:22:15,802 --> 00:22:18,636
We're finally get our tree.
560
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,738
I'm letting Eve choose the one
for the bakery.
561
00:22:20,773 --> 00:22:22,073
Which is this one.
562
00:22:22,141 --> 00:22:24,275
Well that's impossible
because this one's ours,
563
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:24,975
we just chose it.
564
00:22:25,044 --> 00:22:26,210
So did I.
565
00:22:26,245 --> 00:22:29,914
You would deny a child
her chance at a tree?
566
00:22:29,949 --> 00:22:31,615
Wow.
567
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:32,883
That's low.
568
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:34,518
But effective?
569
00:22:37,990 --> 00:22:39,023
Fine.
570
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:40,157
But only for Abby.
571
00:22:40,193 --> 00:22:41,192
Thanks Eve.
572
00:22:41,227 --> 00:22:44,562
You're welcome... Abby.
573
00:22:44,597 --> 00:22:46,597
Who wants some hot cocoa?
574
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:48,599
We still have to find our tree.
575
00:22:48,634 --> 00:22:52,670
There's another one identical
to this one right over there.
576
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:54,605
Well, why didn't you
say something?
577
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,174
You two were too busy
going at it!
578
00:22:57,210 --> 00:22:59,110
Let's get some cocoa.
579
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:09,019
Well, you know, if you hadn't
been there,
580
00:23:09,055 --> 00:23:11,589
I think that would've been
a knock-down drag-out fight.
581
00:23:11,624 --> 00:23:12,890
Mmhmm.
582
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:16,227
Hey, I'm sorry if we got off
on the wrong foot.
583
00:23:16,262 --> 00:23:17,461
We got off on a great foot.
584
00:23:17,530 --> 00:23:19,363
It was the second step
that was the problem.
585
00:23:19,399 --> 00:23:21,098
Hey Mr. Bailey!
586
00:23:21,134 --> 00:23:22,600
Janelle, what's up?
587
00:23:22,635 --> 00:23:23,667
Guys.
588
00:23:23,703 --> 00:23:24,869
Dwayne.
589
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:25,669
Hi buddy.
590
00:23:25,705 --> 00:23:26,937
Hi Mr. Bailey.
591
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:28,639
Do we still have practice
at your house tomorrow?
592
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:29,673
We do.
593
00:23:29,709 --> 00:23:31,175
Abby and I are making cookies.
594
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:32,943
Yes! Nice.
595
00:23:32,979 --> 00:23:36,414
Are you Mr. Bailey's girlfriend?
596
00:23:36,482 --> 00:23:37,615
No.
597
00:23:37,650 --> 00:23:38,849
No. Guys, this is Miss Morgan.
598
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:41,352
She is the interim school
superintendent.
599
00:23:41,387 --> 00:23:42,686
Hi.
600
00:23:42,722 --> 00:23:44,822
I'll have you know, Mr. Bailey
is the best teacher ever
601
00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:46,924
and this year's program
will be amazing!
602
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:48,726
All right, all right,
enough of the smooth talk.
603
00:23:48,795 --> 00:23:49,827
You're all getting A's.
604
00:23:49,862 --> 00:23:50,895
I'll see you tomorrow.
605
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:51,762
Bye, Mr. Bailey.
606
00:23:51,798 --> 00:23:52,563
Bring your A-game.
607
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:53,431
Bye, Mr. Bailey.
608
00:23:53,499 --> 00:23:54,832
Later, guys.
609
00:23:54,867 --> 00:23:56,000
Program, huh?
610
00:23:56,068 --> 00:23:57,568
Yeah, the Christmas program.
611
00:23:57,603 --> 00:24:00,371
Each school in the district puts
on a concert for the holiday.
612
00:24:00,406 --> 00:24:03,274
It's not much, we barely
break even,
613
00:24:03,309 --> 00:24:06,177
but it's a good way to bring
people together, you know.
614
00:24:06,212 --> 00:24:08,412
People like music this time
of year.
615
00:24:08,448 --> 00:24:09,847
And you run it
for Franklin High?
616
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:12,316
I do.
617
00:24:12,351 --> 00:24:15,886
So, when did you start teaching?
618
00:24:15,922 --> 00:24:17,955
Maybe nine, ten years.
619
00:24:17,990 --> 00:24:20,458
Abby was one when I started.
620
00:24:20,526 --> 00:24:22,526
It's a lot more stable
than trying to make it
621
00:24:22,562 --> 00:24:24,528
in a rock band.
622
00:24:24,597 --> 00:24:26,030
A rock band?
623
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:28,499
Bingo Jones.
624
00:24:28,534 --> 00:24:30,034
How did you come up
with that name?
625
00:24:30,102 --> 00:24:32,736
I know... it was my buddy Rick's
dog's name.
626
00:24:32,772 --> 00:24:34,371
Wow. Okay.
627
00:24:34,407 --> 00:24:37,741
So... what instrument
did you play?
628
00:24:37,777 --> 00:24:39,577
Pretty much most of them.
629
00:24:39,645 --> 00:24:41,645
Piano, guitar, drums.
630
00:24:41,681 --> 00:24:44,014
My parents owned a music shop
when I was growing up
631
00:24:44,050 --> 00:24:46,650
so by the time I was five, I
pretty much learned them all.
632
00:24:46,686 --> 00:24:47,818
What was your favourite?
633
00:24:47,854 --> 00:24:49,420
Piano.
634
00:24:49,455 --> 00:24:52,056
Oh, and you write too?
635
00:24:52,124 --> 00:24:54,425
Well Abby was playing one of
your songs when we met
636
00:24:54,460 --> 00:24:56,026
and it was really beautiful.
637
00:24:56,062 --> 00:24:57,795
Oh, okay.
638
00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:59,897
What, is it not okay that
I heard one of your songs?
639
00:24:59,932 --> 00:25:01,365
No, of course.
640
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,766
I just, I haven't had somebody
hear one of my songs
641
00:25:02,802 --> 00:25:04,301
in a long time.
642
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:06,570
Not since Abby.
643
00:25:06,606 --> 00:25:08,005
Well, do you still write?
644
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,673
No, no I don't.
645
00:25:09,709 --> 00:25:12,710
Life kind of got in the way,
you know?
646
00:25:12,745 --> 00:25:13,911
Yeah.
647
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:15,846
It has a way of doing that.
648
00:25:19,085 --> 00:25:21,719
Enjoy your tree.
649
00:25:21,754 --> 00:25:23,320
Thanks.
650
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:29,760
Now you are gonna help me
651
00:25:29,795 --> 00:25:32,263
decorate the bakery tree
tomorrow, right?
652
00:25:32,298 --> 00:25:34,398
Uh... yeah.
653
00:25:38,137 --> 00:25:39,803
Okay.
654
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,840
Go. Be neighbourly.
655
00:25:42,909 --> 00:25:44,341
Fine.
656
00:25:46,178 --> 00:25:47,044
Come on.
657
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:48,312
Let me help.
658
00:25:50,249 --> 00:25:51,415
I don't think I needed
that much help.
659
00:25:51,484 --> 00:25:52,449
You got it?
660
00:25:52,485 --> 00:25:53,951
Yes.
661
00:25:53,986 --> 00:25:56,120
You had to pick the big tree.
662
00:25:56,188 --> 00:25:57,254
You picked it too, you know?
663
00:25:57,323 --> 00:25:58,656
Mmhmm.
664
00:25:58,691 --> 00:25:59,657
Did you put the thing down?
665
00:25:59,692 --> 00:26:00,457
Yeah.
666
00:26:00,493 --> 00:26:01,525
Okay, good.
667
00:26:01,561 --> 00:26:03,360
We may have to lift this a bit.
668
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:04,428
Ooh!
669
00:26:04,463 --> 00:26:05,930
[Laughing]
670
00:26:05,965 --> 00:26:06,630
Nice and easy.
671
00:26:06,699 --> 00:26:08,098
Lift it up.
672
00:26:08,167 --> 00:26:09,300
Good thing I've never been
to the gym before in my life.
673
00:26:09,335 --> 00:26:10,634
[Laughing]
674
00:26:12,405 --> 00:26:14,872
All right, we are done.
675
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:17,107
All right, you guys be good
to my tree.
676
00:26:17,143 --> 00:26:18,208
Hey, now.
677
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:20,044
Hey sweetie, let me help you.
678
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:21,645
You pull like that.
679
00:26:21,681 --> 00:26:23,080
When I was your age,
680
00:26:23,115 --> 00:26:25,249
decorating the tree was my
favourite part of Christmas.
681
00:26:25,284 --> 00:26:27,284
You wanna decorate with us?
682
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,720
I don't know.
683
00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:31,055
Dad, can't Eve help us?
684
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:33,457
You always say it's more fun
with other people.
685
00:26:35,728 --> 00:26:37,561
I don't say that.
686
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:42,032
Okay, I do say that.
687
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:44,935
Please? It's kinda
your tree too.
688
00:26:44,971 --> 00:26:47,538
All right, well when you put it
that way.
689
00:26:48,908 --> 00:26:50,107
All right, here we go.
690
00:26:50,142 --> 00:26:51,775
So...
691
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:53,777
Thank you.
692
00:26:53,846 --> 00:26:54,545
Let's see what we've got.
693
00:26:54,580 --> 00:26:56,380
One of these guys.
694
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:58,916
This needs to go right in here
it looks like.
695
00:27:00,486 --> 00:27:01,318
You want to take this over?
696
00:27:01,354 --> 00:27:02,186
Yes.
697
00:27:02,254 --> 00:27:03,020
[Laughing]
698
00:27:03,089 --> 00:27:03,887
All right, you're in charge.
699
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:05,456
Thank you.
700
00:27:07,226 --> 00:27:08,359

I almost forgot, Mom sent

708
00:27:25,444 --> 00:27:27,077
Well, go and get it.
709
00:27:29,248 --> 00:27:31,181
So, Abby lives with you
most of the time?
710
00:27:31,250 --> 00:27:33,450
Yeah, Rachel's a heart surgeon
in Chicago.
711
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,185
So, during the school year
it makes sense for her
712
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:36,487
to stay with me.
713
00:27:36,522 --> 00:27:37,755
In the summer she spends time
with her mom.
714
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:39,890
Sounds like you have it all
figured out.
715
00:27:39,925 --> 00:27:40,824
Yeah.
716
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:41,959
Yeah, we do.
717
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:44,128
We've had lots of time.
718
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:46,797
Rachel and I were just kids
when we got married
719
00:27:46,832 --> 00:27:48,866
and then Abby came along.
720
00:27:48,934 --> 00:27:50,601
Rachel's career took off
721
00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:56,173
and we realized that we had
different priorities in life.
722
00:27:56,208 --> 00:28:01,045
So, Rachel followed her path
and I stayed here.
723
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,746
With Abby.
724
00:28:02,782 --> 00:28:03,981
Yeah.
725
00:28:04,050 --> 00:28:06,684
With Abby.
726
00:28:06,719 --> 00:28:08,085
Well, whatever you're doing
it's working
727
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:13,223
'cause Abby is pretty amazing.
728
00:28:13,292 --> 00:28:14,925
I completely agree.
729
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,061
I mean she's mine, so...
730
00:28:17,096 --> 00:28:19,096
[phone ringing]
731
00:28:19,131 --> 00:28:20,564
Oh, um... I'm sorry,
732
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:21,965
I have to take this
really quick.
733
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:24,001

00:36:25,851 --> 00:36:27,117
I knew it.
915
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:28,285
The board meets the day
after tomorrow
916
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,819
to finalize my recommendations.
917
00:36:29,888 --> 00:36:31,521
That soon, really?
918
00:36:31,557 --> 00:36:32,689
That's why we have
to move quickly.
919
00:36:32,724 --> 00:36:33,657
Hi Eve!
920
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:35,158
Hey sweetheart.
921
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:37,160
To do what?
922
00:36:37,196 --> 00:36:38,528
Like you said,
we're out of options.
923
00:36:38,564 --> 00:36:40,664
No, conventional options.
924
00:36:40,732 --> 00:36:41,865
John said something
the other night
925
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:43,567
that really got me thinking.
926
00:36:43,602 --> 00:36:44,634
He was talking about
927
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:45,902
how small-town citizens
come together
928
00:36:45,938 --> 00:36:48,238
when they need to
and that's what I want to do.
929
00:36:48,273 --> 00:36:49,706
How?
930
00:36:49,741 --> 00:36:51,641
I've met with all the schools
in the district,
931
00:36:51,677 --> 00:36:54,511
all of the principals and no one
wants to lose their arts.
932
00:36:54,546 --> 00:36:55,679
Of course not.
933
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:57,113
Schools' arts programs
have higher attendance,
934
00:36:57,149 --> 00:36:59,349
they post better scores.
935
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:02,953
We just have to make people
feel the importance of this.
936
00:37:04,756 --> 00:37:07,123
Coffee or hot chocolate?
937
00:37:07,159 --> 00:37:09,559
Don't judge me but I could use
some hot chocolate.
938
00:37:09,595 --> 00:37:11,695
I'm only judging
in the positive.
939
00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:12,996
That makes two of us.
940
00:37:13,031 --> 00:37:14,631
With or without marshmallows?
941
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:17,534
I don't trust anyone who doesn't
take them with marshmallows.
942
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:18,702
Same.
943
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:22,572
So... I'm guessing
that you have a plan.
944
00:37:22,608 --> 00:37:23,807
Yeah, the beginning of one.
945
00:37:23,842 --> 00:37:24,874
Which is?
946
00:37:24,910 --> 00:37:26,910
I want to bring
everyone together.
947
00:37:26,945 --> 00:37:28,745
I want to get all the Christmas
programs in the district
948
00:37:28,780 --> 00:37:30,981
on one stage for a Christmas
concert.
949
00:37:31,016 --> 00:37:32,649
Christmas is in 10 days.
950
00:37:32,684 --> 00:37:34,851
Christmas Eve is in nine.
951
00:37:34,886 --> 00:37:35,819
Are you thinking...
952
00:37:35,854 --> 00:37:37,954
The tree topper
lighting ceremony.
953
00:37:37,990 --> 00:37:40,223
It's one of Franklin's
most unique traditions.
954
00:37:40,259 --> 00:37:42,826
I think we can use that
as part of the draw.
955
00:37:42,861 --> 00:37:44,427
Okay, wow.
956
00:37:44,463 --> 00:37:47,197
Well even if we have
the greatest concert,
957
00:37:47,232 --> 00:37:49,833
it's practically impossible
to cover that budget shortfall.
958
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:51,668
Probably, yes.
959
00:37:51,703 --> 00:37:54,471
I think if people see the music
program in action
960
00:37:54,506 --> 00:37:55,839
then we can make an appeal
for everyone
961
00:37:55,907 --> 00:37:58,008
to be a part of
the bigger solution.
962
00:37:58,043 --> 00:37:59,042
Create a cause.
963
00:37:59,077 --> 00:38:02,379
I get it, I think it's great.
964
00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:03,513
But Eve, to put something
together
965
00:38:03,548 --> 00:38:05,882
that you're talking about,
in nine days...
966
00:38:05,951 --> 00:38:08,518
What, you think
it's impossible?
967
00:38:08,553 --> 00:38:09,653
I think you don't lack
for ambition,
968
00:38:09,688 --> 00:38:11,655
that's for sure.
969
00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:12,789
What, you don't think
we should try?
970
00:38:12,824 --> 00:38:13,990
Oh, we're gonna try.
971
00:38:14,026 --> 00:38:16,159
We might fail but we're
gonna go down fighting.
972
00:38:16,194 --> 00:38:18,161
You're looking good, darlin'!
973
00:38:18,196 --> 00:38:21,264
Skate circles around them!
974
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:22,932
Sorry.
975
00:38:22,968 --> 00:38:26,703
So... let's figure
this thing out.
976
00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:30,874
We have ten schools
in our district.
977
00:38:30,909 --> 00:38:32,742
I was thinking I could put
together a program
978
00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:35,345
that highlights each school.
979
00:38:35,414 --> 00:38:37,580
All right, I'll lead with that
when you meet with the board.
980
00:38:37,616 --> 00:38:39,082
Yeah.
981
00:38:39,151 --> 00:38:41,851
I just want this to jumpstart
our ability to raise money.
982
00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:47,357
I mean... Franklin's ability
to raise money.
983
00:38:47,426 --> 00:38:49,225
Right... 'cause
you won't be here.
984
00:38:49,261 --> 00:38:50,593
Look, Franklin is my home town.
985
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,829
This means a lot to me.
986
00:38:54,099 --> 00:38:55,832
All right. Yeah.
987
00:38:55,867 --> 00:38:57,867
You're right, I'm sorry.
988
00:38:57,936 --> 00:39:00,370
I'm just tired.
Running low on ideas.
989
00:39:00,405 --> 00:39:02,372
You have great ideas.
990
00:39:02,407 --> 00:39:04,407
Oh yeah?
991
00:39:04,443 --> 00:39:06,209
Yeah.
992
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:07,711
You too.
993
00:39:07,746 --> 00:39:08,878
Thank you.
994
00:39:08,947 --> 00:39:10,347
You're welcome.
995
00:39:12,584 --> 00:39:13,917
You know, I really wish
we could just tell people,
996
00:39:13,985 --> 00:39:16,419
"Hey. What we really need is
more clarinets."
997
00:39:16,455 --> 00:39:19,422
Or more paint and paper
for the art department.
998
00:39:19,491 --> 00:39:22,992
Well, I hope we're on
Santa's wish list.
999
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:25,562
Or bridal registry...
1000
00:39:25,630 --> 00:39:27,564
Pretty sure Santa doesn't have
a bridal registry.
1001
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:29,032
No, no, no, wait.
1002
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:32,602
I... I think I'm actually
onto a really good idea here.
1003
00:39:32,637 --> 00:39:34,637
We need a family Christmas wish list.
1004
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:37,006
A what?
1005
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:39,142
A family Christmas wish list.
1006
00:39:39,177 --> 00:39:40,610
Yeah, but for schools.
1007
00:39:40,645 --> 00:39:42,479
That way the donors aren't
just handing over their money
1008
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:44,047
and hoping that it goes
to where they think
1009
00:39:44,116 --> 00:39:44,981
the school needs it most.
1010
00:39:45,016 --> 00:39:46,282
So they can target it, you know?
1011
00:39:46,318 --> 00:39:47,817
Remove the "what if?" factor.
1012
00:39:47,853 --> 00:39:49,686
I am a genius!
1013
00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:51,221
Yes, dear.
1014
00:39:51,256 --> 00:39:53,056
Look, we're hoping to announce
this at the Christmas concert,
1015
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:55,024
so if we get you all of
the schools' information,
1016
00:39:55,060 --> 00:39:58,395
do you think that you could get
the website up in eight days?
1017
00:39:58,430 --> 00:39:59,963
I'll make it happen.
1018
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:01,998
All right, well...
now all that's left to do
1019
00:40:02,033 --> 00:40:03,933
is get permission
for the concert.
1020
00:40:07,606 --> 00:40:09,639
At this late date,
it's impossible.
1021
00:40:09,708 --> 00:40:11,241
I don't see how you
could possibly...
1022
00:40:11,309 --> 00:40:12,442
I don't mean to interrupt
1023
00:40:12,477 --> 00:40:14,978
but you're Dwayne Snodgrass's
aunt, right?
1024
00:40:15,046 --> 00:40:16,346
Is Dwayne one of your students?
1025
00:40:16,381 --> 00:40:18,381
Yes ma'am, he is.
1026
00:40:18,450 --> 00:40:20,450
Uh, the tuba...
best in the district.
1027
00:40:20,485 --> 00:40:24,454
In fact, he would be perfect
for a featured solo.
1028
00:40:26,425 --> 00:40:29,526
Interesting... go on.
1029
00:40:29,561 --> 00:40:32,362
Well there will be press there.
1030
00:40:32,397 --> 00:40:34,464
Yes, and we're going to do
a live feed...
1031
00:40:34,499 --> 00:40:36,199
Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat.
1032
00:40:36,268 --> 00:40:37,000
I like that.
1033
00:40:37,068 --> 00:40:39,436
Mmhmm.
1034
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:41,137
Okay...
1035
00:40:43,275 --> 00:40:45,608
There will be about 800 hoops
you have to jump through
1036
00:40:45,644 --> 00:40:48,111
to pull this off if you can.
1037
00:40:48,146 --> 00:40:50,213
But I'm willing to help.
1038
00:40:50,248 --> 00:40:53,750
And I'll take you up on your
offer of a solo for Dwayne.
1039
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:54,751
Of course.
1040
00:40:54,786 --> 00:40:55,919
The boy is sweet as
Christmas candy
1041
00:40:55,954 --> 00:40:58,021
but doesn't know how
to amplify his talents.
1042
00:40:58,056 --> 00:40:59,422
I do.
1043
00:40:59,458 --> 00:41:01,090
Well that's great because I have
a song that's perfect...
1044
00:41:01,126 --> 00:41:03,359
A vocal solo.
1045
00:41:03,395 --> 00:41:04,127
I'm sorry... what?
1046
00:41:04,162 --> 00:41:04,928
You heard me.
1047
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:05,929
I did.
1048
00:41:05,964 --> 00:41:06,796
But he...
1049
00:41:06,865 --> 00:41:08,731
Will be fantastic.
1050
00:41:08,767 --> 00:41:10,800
Thank you, Miss Mayor.
1051
00:41:18,677 --> 00:41:20,143
Well, can he sing?
1052
00:41:20,178 --> 00:41:21,511
Who knows.
1053
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:23,179
In four years I've never heard
Dwayne Snodgrass string
1054
00:41:23,215 --> 00:41:26,316
three words together, he may be
the quietest kid I've ever met.
1055
00:41:26,351 --> 00:41:27,817
But he sure can play the tuba.
1056
00:41:27,886 --> 00:41:29,118
Well, we don't really have
much of a choice.
1057
00:41:29,187 --> 00:41:31,554
We need the mayor's support
and Dwayne is our key.
1058
00:41:31,623 --> 00:41:32,956
I'll find a way to make it work.
1059
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:34,424
We need to come up
with a name for this thing
1060
00:41:34,459 --> 00:41:37,227
'cause "Christmas program"
is a little too generic.
1061
00:41:37,295 --> 00:41:38,628
Christmas Corus?
1062
00:41:38,663 --> 00:41:39,762
Holiday Happenings?
1063
00:41:39,798 --> 00:41:40,930
Mmm...
1064
00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:43,433
Franklin Fa-la-la-la-la-la?
1065
00:41:43,468 --> 00:41:44,501
Really?
1066
00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:46,336
Just letting it flow.
1067
00:41:46,371 --> 00:41:47,337
Ok.
1068
00:41:53,812 --> 00:41:55,845
You almost look like
you're having fun.
1069
00:41:55,914 --> 00:41:57,547
[laughs]
1070
00:41:57,582 --> 00:41:59,582
You know, I actually kinda am.
1071
00:41:59,618 --> 00:42:01,284
I feel like I'm doing something
productive for the first time
1072
00:42:01,319 --> 00:42:03,720
instead of just swooping in
and swooping out.
1073
00:42:03,755 --> 00:42:05,655
Why don't you ever take
a permanent position?
1074
00:42:05,690 --> 00:42:08,858
That way you can really make
your mark.
1075
00:42:08,894 --> 00:42:09,993
I don't know.
1076
00:42:10,028 --> 00:42:12,862
I guess short term keeps
me free.
1077
00:42:12,931 --> 00:42:14,864
That's what you want?
1078
00:42:16,468 --> 00:42:18,535
You know it's funny...
growing up here,
1079
00:42:18,570 --> 00:42:20,370
I never wanted to leave
this place.
1080
00:42:20,405 --> 00:42:22,372
I had everything I wanted here.
1081
00:42:24,209 --> 00:42:26,276
I mean, I like travelling,
don't get me wrong.
1082
00:42:26,311 --> 00:42:28,545
Mom says I take
after my dad that way.
1083
00:42:28,580 --> 00:42:32,115
But he died when I was 16
1084
00:42:32,183 --> 00:42:35,218
and everything seemed
to change.
1085
00:42:35,287 --> 00:42:38,688
Franklin wasn't just
my home town anymore.
1086
00:42:38,723 --> 00:42:43,426
It was a painful reminder
of what I'd lost.
1087
00:42:43,461 --> 00:42:47,363
I wanted to get as far away
from here as possible.
1088
00:42:47,432 --> 00:42:49,532
So, you did.
1089
00:42:49,568 --> 00:42:51,668

are due for another performance.
1271
00:50:36,034 --> 00:50:37,466
What do you say, Abby?
1272
00:50:37,502 --> 00:50:39,268
I say yes.
1273
00:50:44,909 --> 00:50:46,242
Okay.
1274
00:50:46,277 --> 00:50:47,143
[Laughing]
1275
00:50:47,178 --> 00:50:48,010
We'll do it.
1276
00:50:48,046 --> 00:50:49,011
Yes!
1277
00:50:51,449 --> 00:50:54,483
Wait... what if I get
scared singing?
1278
00:50:54,519 --> 00:50:58,154
Sweetie, you are going
to be amazing.
1279
00:50:58,189 --> 00:51:00,589
Do you want to know something
my dad taught me?
1280
00:51:00,625 --> 00:51:02,258
He taught me not
to get distracted
1281
00:51:02,293 --> 00:51:04,093
by the whole picture
from the start.
1282
00:51:04,162 --> 00:51:05,995
You just go line by line,
note by note,
1283
00:51:06,030 --> 00:51:08,864
and before you know it
you're at the end of the song.
1284
00:51:08,900 --> 00:51:10,199
And if that doesn't work
just close your eyes
1285
00:51:10,234 --> 00:51:12,001
and pretend like
you're somewhere else.
1286
00:51:12,036 --> 00:51:13,502
People will think
you're really passionate.
1287
00:51:13,571 --> 00:51:17,373
[Laughing]
1288
00:51:17,442 --> 00:51:20,609
Um... I should get going.
1289
00:51:20,678 --> 00:51:22,011
Yeah.
1290
00:51:22,046 --> 00:51:23,813
Wait, do you have to go?
1291
00:51:23,848 --> 00:51:25,414
You could do cinema club
with us.
1292
00:51:25,450 --> 00:51:28,150
Cinema club?
1293
00:51:28,186 --> 00:51:30,286
Remember how I told you
I was a movie buff,
1294
00:51:30,321 --> 00:51:33,422
son of a movie buff
with a movie buff daughter?
1295
00:51:33,491 --> 00:51:34,657
Yes.
1296
00:51:34,692 --> 00:51:38,060
Well... let's go.
1297
00:51:38,096 --> 00:51:39,662
Okay.
1298
00:51:48,539 --> 00:51:52,174
All right, we are watching
a movie outside in December.
1299
00:51:52,210 --> 00:51:54,410
And we paid good money to do it.
1300
00:51:54,445 --> 00:51:55,511
It's A Christmas Carol.
1301
00:51:55,546 --> 00:51:56,846
I love this version.
1302
00:51:56,881 --> 00:51:58,280
Wait, how many versions
have you seen?
1303
00:51:58,316 --> 00:51:59,448
16.
1304
00:51:59,484 --> 00:52:01,617
That's my movie buff daughter
right there.
1305
00:52:01,686 --> 00:52:04,286
It's about to start,
we've better get our seats.
1306
00:52:05,823 --> 00:52:08,557
Ebenezer Scrooge...
1307
00:52:08,626 --> 00:52:11,293
ah, but he was a tight fisted..
1308
00:52:11,329 --> 00:52:12,528
Blankets.
1309
00:52:12,563 --> 00:52:15,097
That's you.
1310
00:52:15,133 --> 00:52:16,499
You're going to go green, ok?
1311
00:52:16,567 --> 00:52:20,169
...scraping, scraping,
clutching... sinner...
1312
00:52:20,204 --> 00:52:25,107
And once upon a time, of all
the good days of the year,
1313
00:52:25,143 --> 00:52:27,409
one Christmas Eve...
1314
00:52:40,391 --> 00:52:42,158
...merry Christmas everyone!
1315
00:52:42,193 --> 00:52:45,794
Mr. Scrooge, I don't know how we can ever repay you.
1316
00:52:45,830 --> 00:52:47,830
[laughing]
1317
00:52:51,002 --> 00:52:53,202
This is her idea.
1318
00:52:53,237 --> 00:52:54,570
You weren't too cold, were you?
1319
00:52:54,639 --> 00:52:57,973
No, um... actually I have
a confession to make.
1320
00:52:58,042 --> 00:52:58,874
Oh, wow.
1321
00:52:58,910 --> 00:53:00,676
Do tell.
1322
00:53:00,711 --> 00:53:03,946
Well, in the winter, I like
to eat ice cream.
1323
00:53:03,981 --> 00:53:04,713
Ice cream!
1324
00:53:04,749 --> 00:53:06,182
Peppermint.
1325
00:53:06,217 --> 00:53:09,418
I'll file that away up here.
1326
00:53:09,453 --> 00:53:11,754
All right, now it's your turn
to tell me something.
1327
00:53:11,822 --> 00:53:13,589
What's that.
1328
00:53:13,658 --> 00:53:16,592
Why did you stopti?
1329
00:53:16,627 --> 00:53:17,860
I already told you.
1330
00:53:17,895 --> 00:53:19,061
No.
1331
00:53:19,096 --> 00:53:22,298
Not the "life got in the way"
excuse.
1332
00:53:22,333 --> 00:53:24,233
The real reason.
1333
00:53:30,274 --> 00:53:32,174
I didn't have anyone
in my corner.
1334
00:53:32,210 --> 00:53:34,076
It was just me.
1335
00:53:34,111 --> 00:53:38,914
Abby was little and Rachel
was gone doing her thing,
1336
00:53:38,950 --> 00:53:43,652
chasing her dreams
and I was here.
1337
00:53:43,688 --> 00:53:45,554
By myself.
1338
00:53:45,590 --> 00:53:47,756
And that didn't leave
much time for me
1339
00:53:47,825 --> 00:53:52,928
to chase my own star.
1340
00:53:52,964 --> 00:53:58,667
So... something had to give,
you know.
1341
00:53:58,703 --> 00:54:03,138
After a while it became easier
not to write.
1342
00:54:03,207 --> 00:54:05,341
Well, for someone who's been
lucky enough
1343
00:54:05,376 --> 00:54:07,476
to hear one of your songs,
1344
00:54:07,511 --> 00:54:13,983
I promise you... you are
really amazing.
1345
00:54:14,018 --> 00:54:15,284
Thank you.
1346
00:54:19,957 --> 00:54:22,091
What'd I miss?
1347
00:54:22,126 --> 00:54:24,493
[Laughing]
1348
00:54:24,528 --> 00:54:27,029
Just the whole movie,
that's all.
1349
00:54:31,636 --> 00:54:32,935
Dad?
1350
00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:35,804
Yeah.
1351
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,473
When is Eve leaving?
1352
00:54:37,508 --> 00:54:40,009
Uh... sometime after Christmas.
1353
00:54:40,044 --> 00:54:42,678
That's really close.
1354
00:54:42,747 --> 00:54:45,214
Yeah.
1355
00:54:45,249 --> 00:54:47,049
It is.
1356
00:54:51,489 --> 00:54:57,326
If she was just superintendent,
would she stay?
1357
00:54:57,361 --> 00:55:03,065
Uh... I don't know, honey.
1358
00:55:06,737 --> 00:55:09,338
Good night.
1359
00:55:09,373 --> 00:55:11,473

I don't know why I'm so nervous.

Why would you be nervous?
1366
00:56:03,594 --> 00:56:05,894
Well, John's been sneaky lately

so I know he has something
planned but I can't think what.

Yeah, me too.
1378
00:56:28,386 --> 00:56:31,420
John is really, really sweet.

he makes you smile.

I have.

Yes.

Oh, I have a green tie
I could switch out.

No, no, no.

Hey, don't worry about this.

Maybe I shouldn't do the song.
1393
00:57:06,390 --> 00:57:08,490
You are absolutely doing
the song!
1394
00:57:08,526 --> 00:57:10,225
You've rehearsed.
1395
00:57:10,261 --> 00:57:14,329
And it's important.
1396
00:57:14,365 --> 00:57:17,399

Eve.

00:57:17,435 --> 00:57:18,834

I'm going to put you
in charge
1432
01:00:00,798 --> 01:00:01,663
because you're my favourite.
1433
01:00:01,699 --> 01:00:02,831
Mmhmm.
1434
01:00:02,866 --> 01:00:04,099
I didn't mean that,
she's not my favourite.
1435
01:00:04,168 --> 01:00:05,334
She is my favourite.
1436
01:00:05,369 --> 01:00:07,336
Okay, so look... we can
stay warm in there.
1437
01:00:07,404 --> 01:00:09,271
For the most part
we're going to be inside.
1438
01:00:09,306 --> 01:00:11,206
We're going to come out
when we do the performance
1439
01:00:11,241 --> 01:00:12,474
but generally we're
gonna be inside.
1440
01:00:12,509 --> 01:00:13,508
Okay guys?
1441
01:00:13,577 --> 01:00:14,743
Copy that?
1442
01:00:14,778 --> 01:00:15,577
All right.
1443
01:00:15,613 --> 01:00:17,379
Anybody excited for this?
1444
01:00:17,448 --> 01:00:18,513
Yeah, okay.
1445
01:00:18,582 --> 01:00:21,049
We got a few smiles.
1446
01:00:21,085 --> 01:00:22,384
We want to make sure
the students at Franklin
1447
01:00:22,419 --> 01:00:25,253
have every advantage they need
to become smart,
1448
01:00:25,289 --> 01:00:27,322
well-rounded, successful adults.
1449
01:00:27,358 --> 01:00:29,324

and arts
1450
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,394
are a crucial part of providing
that type of education.
1451
01:00:32,429 --> 01:00:34,396
So please, tell all your friends
about the concert.
1452
01:00:34,465 --> 01:00:36,498
Come on down to see
Christmas Under the Stars.
1453
01:00:36,567 --> 01:00:38,233
Stay for the Christmas Tree
Topper lighting
1454
01:00:38,268 --> 01:00:40,002
and stay for what promises to be
1455
01:00:40,037 --> 01:00:41,937
a wonderful night
for the whole family.
1456
01:00:41,972 --> 01:00:43,739
Thank you.
1457
01:00:43,774 --> 01:00:46,041
Thank you.
1458
01:00:46,076 --> 01:00:48,443
Well, looks awesome!
1459
01:00:48,479 --> 01:00:49,611
Is that it for the interviews?
1460
01:00:49,647 --> 01:00:50,612
Until someone else calls.
1461
01:00:50,681 --> 01:00:52,381
Well I will do
any interview needed.
1462
01:00:52,449 --> 01:00:55,217
Next year we're gonna have
to make sure that the... uh,
1463
01:00:55,252 --> 01:00:56,118
I mean...
1464
01:00:56,186 --> 01:00:57,319
Oh!
1465
01:00:57,354 --> 01:00:58,587
Well, whoever's running this
event next year
1466
01:00:58,622 --> 01:01:00,122
will have to make sure they have
a press secretary.
1467
01:01:00,157 --> 01:01:02,391
Yes, well hopefully
there will be an event.
1468
01:01:02,426 --> 01:01:04,526
And a fundraising program.
1469
01:01:04,595 --> 01:01:06,061
How's Brad coming
along with that?
1470
01:01:06,096 --> 01:01:07,362
Hmm.
1471
01:01:07,398 --> 01:01:09,164
Brad... Brad... yeah, I remember
a guy named Brad.
1472
01:01:09,199 --> 01:01:11,500
Kinda cute but then he spent
all of his spare time
1473
01:01:11,568 --> 01:01:13,502
helping my best friend on
a special project, so...
1474
01:01:13,537 --> 01:01:14,569
I am so sorry.
1475
01:01:14,638 --> 01:01:15,937
Don't be.
1476
01:01:15,973 --> 01:01:18,240
He is so excited to be helping.
1477
01:01:18,275 --> 01:01:19,908
And I'm so happy that we get
to work together like this.
1478
01:01:19,977 --> 01:01:21,109
I've missed that.
1479
01:01:21,145 --> 01:01:22,010
I've missed you.
1480
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:23,311
We talk all the time.
1481
01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:25,514
I know but it's not the same
as having you here.
1482
01:01:25,549 --> 01:01:27,683
It's hugging distance!
1483
01:01:31,255 --> 01:01:33,188
Go back inside, grab your stuff.
1484
01:01:33,257 --> 01:01:35,390
I'll see you back here
in like five minutes.
1485
01:01:35,426 --> 01:01:36,391
Get outta here.
1486
01:01:36,427 --> 01:01:38,326
Dwayne, hang back, come here.
1487
01:01:38,362 --> 01:01:41,396
I wanted to check in with you
about the Christmas program.
1488
01:01:41,432 --> 01:01:42,597
Mmhmm.
1489
01:01:42,666 --> 01:01:46,101
Uh... did you have a particular
song in mind?
1490
01:01:50,607 --> 01:01:52,140
Silent Night.
1491
01:01:52,209 --> 01:01:53,775
Seriously?
1492
01:01:53,844 --> 01:01:55,243
That's appropriate.
1493
01:01:55,312 --> 01:01:56,645
Yeah let's just hope he's not
doing some interpretation
1494
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,347
where he stands there silently
for 30 minutes.
1495
01:02:01,618 --> 01:02:02,584
Hey, is that the...?
1496
01:02:02,619 --> 01:02:04,720
It's the coffee couple.
1497
01:02:07,825 --> 01:02:09,324
Told you.
1498
01:02:35,819 --> 01:02:38,820
Okay folks, so... both Taft
and Franklin high school
1499
01:02:38,856 --> 01:02:40,756
will remain on stage throughout.
1500
01:02:40,824 --> 01:02:41,957
Teachers standing by.
1501
01:02:41,992 --> 01:02:43,592
As for the elementary groups,
1502
01:02:43,627 --> 01:02:46,661
I'll have somebody side stage
to help you, okay?
1503
01:02:46,697 --> 01:02:47,529
How's it going?
1504
01:02:47,564 --> 01:02:48,663
Both servers are ready to go.
1505
01:02:48,699 --> 01:02:50,532
As long as we survive
the initial surge,
1506
01:02:50,567 --> 01:02:52,067
we'll be okay.
1507
01:02:52,102 --> 01:02:54,002
Well let's hope we have enough
action to actually have a surge.
1508
01:02:54,037 --> 01:02:57,005
Hey... thank you so much.
1509
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,206
We're all in this together.
1510
01:02:58,242 --> 01:03:00,008

Thank you.
1513
01:03:17,461 --> 01:03:20,162
Welcome ladies and gentlemen
of Franklin.
1514
01:03:20,197 --> 01:03:23,431
As you know, this event is
so special to our community.
1515
01:03:23,467 --> 01:03:27,369
Tonight is for you, for our
students and for our town.
1516
01:03:27,404 --> 01:03:29,337
The Franklin school district
put out a call for help
1517
01:03:29,406 --> 01:03:31,273
and you answered.
1518
01:03:31,341 --> 01:03:33,975
Through your generous donations
of time and resources
1519
01:03:34,011 --> 01:03:37,279
and by fully showing up
with open hearts.
1520
01:03:37,347 --> 01:03:39,714
And we have another way
that you can help.
1521
01:03:39,783 --> 01:03:43,118
Tonight, we're announcing the
creation of Santa's Wish List,
1522
01:03:43,187 --> 01:03:45,020
which is a way for everyone
to help sponsor
1523
01:03:45,055 --> 01:03:46,955
specific school needs,
1524
01:03:46,990 --> 01:03:48,924
including within the music
and arts department...
1525
01:03:48,959 --> 01:03:51,793
which is the reason
that we are here tonight.
1526
01:03:51,829 --> 01:03:55,397
Because in the end, we
all want the same thing.
1527
01:03:55,432 --> 01:03:59,701
To give our children a strong,
well-rounded education
1528
01:03:59,736 --> 01:04:02,337
for the best possible future.
1529
01:04:02,372 --> 01:04:06,041
All right, that is enough
business for you guys.
1530
01:04:06,076 --> 01:04:08,076

You're not singing
to that whole crowd.

then great.

call me.

And that's exactly what
we want here... permanently.
1726
01:13:59,702 --> 01:14:01,469
At least think about it?
1727
01:14:01,504 --> 01:14:02,703

1735

1736
01:14:41,411 --> 01:14:42,510
Uh, yeah.
1737
01:14:42,545 --> 01:14:43,678
Actually, there was way more
than enough
1738
01:14:43,713 --> 01:14:46,147
and Brad's making sure
the website stays up
1739
01:14:46,216 --> 01:14:50,284
because we got
so much traffic.
1740
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,520
Then what is it?
1741
01:14:52,555 --> 01:14:54,655
I got the job in San Diego.
1742
01:14:54,691 --> 01:14:56,591
Oh, congratulations!
1743
01:14:59,562 --> 01:15:01,996
Oh, I'll, uh... I'll go start
the car.
1744
01:15:02,031 --> 01:15:03,164
Did you still want
to come out with us?
1745
01:15:03,233 --> 01:15:05,433
No, please... go without me.
1746
01:15:05,468 --> 01:15:07,368
I'll see you later.
1747
01:15:09,305 --> 01:15:11,973
You want to talk about it?
1748
01:15:12,008 --> 01:15:13,574
Not right now.
1749
01:15:13,610 --> 01:15:16,377
Okay.
1750
01:15:16,412 --> 01:15:19,013
Let me just say this.
1751
01:15:19,082 --> 01:15:24,619
It's been such a joy having you
home these past couple of weeks.
1752
01:15:24,654 --> 01:15:28,923
Well, it is always good
to have you here, but...
1753

the girl that you were
1754

when you were growing up.
1755
01:15:35,999 --> 01:15:39,367
You seem happier.
1756
01:15:39,402 --> 01:15:42,937

to hold on to.
1759
01:15:50,613 --> 01:15:52,713
I don't know what to do, Mom.
1760
01:15:52,782 --> 01:15:55,683
Oh, sweetheart.
1761
01:15:55,718 --> 01:15:59,020
Oh.
1762
01:15:59,088 --> 01:16:00,821
My beautiful girl.
1763
01:16:00,890 --> 01:16:03,824
You have a choice to make
1764
01:16:03,860 --> 01:16:06,827
and when I'm in that
situation...
1765
01:16:06,863 --> 01:16:11,766
I listen to my heart 'cause
it always tells us what to do.
1766
01:16:11,801 --> 01:16:14,335
If we trust it.
1767
01:16:17,507 --> 01:16:19,707
Sweetheart.
1768
01:17:50,299 --> 01:17:54,969
Eve, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet your dad.
1769
01:17:55,004 --> 01:17:56,904
If he's anything like you,
1770
01:17:56,939 --> 01:17:59,974
he must have been wonderful.
1771
01:18:00,009 --> 01:18:03,244
I only hope that this would have made him proud.
1772
01:18:03,279 --> 01:18:07,314
And thank you for encouraging me to write again,

1807
01:21:52,541 --> 01:21:55,509
I opened your Christmas gift.
1808
01:21:55,544 --> 01:21:56,443
I know I probably
should've waited,
1809
01:21:56,479 --> 01:21:58,979
but I couldn't, so...
1810
01:21:59,048 --> 01:22:02,316
I opened it and it got
me thinking...
1811
01:22:02,351 --> 01:22:05,786
feeling... so many things.
1812
01:22:05,821 --> 01:22:09,156
And I thought I'd come over
and tell you all of them.
1813
01:22:09,191 --> 01:22:12,726
Like how beautiful that song
is and how much it meant to me
1814
01:22:12,795 --> 01:22:16,263
that you would do something
like that for me.
1815
01:22:16,299 --> 01:22:19,833
And I wanted you to know
that I turned down San Diego
1816
01:22:19,869 --> 01:22:22,503
and I plan on calling Penelope
and the board first thing
1817
01:22:22,538 --> 01:22:26,740
after Christmas to ask
for the job here permanently.
1818
01:22:26,776 --> 01:22:28,542
Wow.
1819
01:22:30,846 --> 01:22:31,812
And now seeing
you like this,
1820
01:22:31,847 --> 01:22:35,582
I just have one question.
1821
01:22:35,651 --> 01:22:37,084
Is that hot?
1822
01:22:37,119 --> 01:22:38,786
No, I...
1823
01:22:41,090 --> 01:22:43,624
[Laughing]
1824
01:22:47,897 --> 01:22:49,630
Finally.
1825
01:22:57,373 --> 01:23:00,140
I got sick of waiting
on the universe.
1826
01:23:00,176 --> 01:23:02,443
Good.
1827
01:23:02,478 --> 01:23:03,911
You've had a long day.
1828
01:23:03,980 --> 01:23:05,679
You want to come inside?
1829
01:23:05,715 --> 01:23:07,414
I would love nothing more
than that.
1830
01:23:07,450 --> 01:23:09,650
Okay.
1831
01:23:12,121 --> 01:23:12,920
I need to change my shirt.
1832
01:23:12,955 --> 01:23:14,521
Don't you dare!
1833
01:23:19,128 --> 01:23:20,861
