(Kate)Jingle Bells!

Hey Kate. What's up?

The trees are arriving
and I don't have

the layout that
you sent me.

Once they're up, they're up.
I'm not moving them.

They were supposed
to come at 9:30.

I anticipate a lot
with these tree guys

but being early is never something to worry about.

Especially not
two hours early.

They must be motivated by
the spirit of Christmas.

I'm on my way.

Just, tell them to
go get a coffee.

(indistinct airport announcement)

(Lucas)
Ca, c'est pas mal.

Merci beaucoup,
Jeff, pour le vol.

Reposez-vous bien et profitez
de ces quelque jours.

Vous aussi.

(phone buzzes)

(phone buzzes)

Bonjour Monsieur Lucas.

Have you arrived
at the photo shoot?

(Lucas)Apologies Kate.

I've been delayed
thanks to a blizzard.

I've just landed in Montana.

I really wanted you to
come to the shoot today.

We're shooting one
of our products.

You know, just to
observe, see how we work

before stepping in front
of the camera yourself.

Unfortunately, I think I
will miss this opportunity

to see how your people work.

Well even we Fortunes
can't beat Mother Nature.

Perhaps you'll get
there before they wrap.

(Lucas) Precisely. The car should be waiting for me.

I'll be there as
soon as I can.

(Kate) Okay, well you get
yourself here safely.

And we'll launch right into

our fragrance partnership
when you arrive.

And I'll try to put the
shoot back, if I can.

(Kate)A bientot!

A bientot.

How's my favorite art
director this morning?

Great. I get to meet
Lucas Beaudin today.

(Kate) Yes. Right.
Lucas has been delayed.

So we're going to have to
push the photo shoot back.

I really want him
to see how we work.

Oh. Well people are already
working on the set,

but I can probably push
it back an hour or two.

Good. We'll meet with him

on the fragrance partnership after that.

I want that deal closed.

(Robin) There he is at his nightclub in Paris.

And on his vineyard.
His life is a party every night.

Yeah, but those are
solid investments.

I mean, in addition
to his tech assets,

his winery has
great terroir.

His wines, they win awards.

I know, I captured
everything in my mood boards.

I think he's
perfect for you.

(scoffs) No, this is
just strictly business.

First of all, my clubbing
shoes are a little dusty.

And second of all, my
age, I'm more like his...

Aunt.

Oh well. Let's talk about
our favorite subject.

(both together)
Christmas!

I've rescued the trees.

And I'll have
everything in place

as soon as we clear out the greenhouse after the shoot.

Ah good, yes.

About that, I was wondering
if you could just stand in?

Because our model is
grounded in New York.

(scoffs)
No chance.

You helped me put my
modeling career behind me.

It was time.
We agreed.

I know. But you still
have those perfect lips.

And I always will.

It's just a few hours.
New York. Snowstorm. Grounded.

But the Sugarplum
Celebration is my priority.

December 26th is
coming up fast.

(Kate) It's not like
I have forgotten.

I mean, it's the second best day of the year after Christmas.

And you always make that
look so beautiful, Robin.

Your guests have very
high expectations.

I have to make this party
even better than last years.

By the way,

thank you for live streaming
the whole event this year.

No pressure.
At all.

Well if I can throw a hot
ticket Christmas party

like my annual
Sugarplum Celebration

and get social hits for our company at the same time...

Why wouldn't I?
Pretty please?

No. Just no.
Not these lips.

Okay, fine.
Well...

Just send everybody
home then.

Tell them all good bye.

Call the photographer,
and the makeup artist,

and the hairstylist,
that we don't need them.

Oh, and your inspiration
for the greenhouse,

you know,
it's all for naught.

Fine.
For the test shoot only.

How can I say no to my Boss and my Godmother at the same time?

Well you can't.

I am so glad that
the company,

and the lip gloss and
I, can count on you.

(Robin)
Merry Christmas.

Christmas is coming!

(phone rings)

(voicemail notification
from phone)

(voicemail message)Lucas. It's Gerald Fortune.

I...
(Lucas beeps playback off)

(Lucas breathes heavily)

(Camille chuckling
on video call) Lucas!

Lucas!
Ah, let me guess.

A beautiful woman, uh.

You should see what they
do for Christmas here!

(laughs) Is she a model?

Don't...

Don't what?
Judge you?

I judge you because you forget
that a beautiful woman...

Is also a real
woman, darling.

I know that.
I sometimes just forget.

When she's exceptionally
beautiful.

And I've seen her as the Face of Fortune on a hundred billboards.

Wow!

Do you still think you will come home for Christmas Eve?

(Camille) I heard that in
Montana next week

the weather will be
well below freezing.

You could get frostbite.

Ne t'inquiete pas, Maman.

I won't be here more than a few days. Don't worry.

I know.

You are importing
wine into the U.S.

and the publicity you
will get from the perfume

will double your media
exposure and drive your brand.

Apparently, my
son's a 'brand'.

(Camille laughs)

Apparently, this 'brand'
is about to go global.

Darling,you're in the city where
your biological father lives.

This could be a good
chance to meet him.

I am my own man, Maman.

I haven't needed
him in the past.

I don't need him now.

Ah la la la la...

All this ambition.

I wish you'd
gotten it from me.

Maman.

Allez. Bisous.

Bisous.

(big sigh)

(indistinct chattering)

Dressed a little fancy for the weather, don't you think?

The Face of Fortune.

Former.
Former Face of Fortune.

Come warm up.

(Robin) Great. We're ready for our last look everyone.

Ah, no. Over there.

Great. Let's see
our test shots.

♪ (groovy music) ♪

-Ready?
-Yes.

All right.

(camera clicking)

(Photographer) So good.

(Photographer) Yes.
Play with the dress.

(Photographer)Show the gloss.

Just like that again.

(Photographer) Amazing!
Ah, yes. Play with it!

One more with the shoulder.

(Photographer)
Incredible. That's the one.

Phenomenal.
Let's check these out.

Very beautiful.

Well, I guess.

We must have met in Paris?

Unlikely. We seem to have run
in very different crowds.

You are spectacular
in your ads.

I really like number
eight, Jessie.

Are you producing today too?

Well no.

I'm the Head of Art Direction for Fortune Industries.

And sometimes
pinch hitter model.

I used to like modeling
but I love the creativity

behind the art of
advertising, photography,

campaign creation,
so much more.

Impressive. So why were
you pinch hitting?

Our model's stuck in
New York due to weather.

I can never say no to Kate. Especially at Christmas.

She has a particular way
of charming everyone

into bending to her will. Especially family.

So you're related?

Not by blood but
by godparent.

She was my Mom's
best friend.

Was?
Have they fallen out?

No, not like that.

My Mother passed away.

I'm sorry.
I overstepped.

I thought Kate
was coming here

but she must've gotten
caught up on a call.

I'll take you to her when
we're done the shoot.

-Thank you.
-Okay.

(Photographer) All right. We're going to do a couple more.

(door closes)

(Robin)
It's right this way.

(sliding door opens)

Ah!

Bonjour, Lucas!

Bonjour.

Parlerons-nous francais?

Oh, English is fine,
Ms. Fortune.

Evidemment.

Although I really should
practice my French more.

But it's better than
my Mandarin, so...

And call me Kate.
And we are celebrating!

We are celebrating our
partnership and Christmas.

Stay with us Robin.

Merci.

Cheers.

(Lucas)
Enchanté.

And welcome.

Merci.

So, you've read my proposal.

Fortune Industries is branching into Europe with its first...

Men's fragrance.

Very smart.

It will help to grow
your top line in Europe.

You need that.

So you've done your homework
on Fortune Industries.

What can I say, I like
research, I like numbers.

I know what I need to know
about Fortune Family.

And I like your
personal brand.

Your nightclub.
Your winery.

And your team does social
media night and day.

And now your business is at the point, were if you to expand

to the U.S. market, you either need a major marketing effort

here in the States, or voila,

join forces with a men's fragrance and let what we plan

for advertising do
the heavy lifting.

True, I want to expand my
brand in the U.S. and beyond.

And on that note,

I need the numbers you're committing to the advertising.

Well, that depends on
if you'll finally agree

that it's your image
and not your club

that will be what the
campaign focuses on.

Yes, I understand that
will be part of the price

I'll be paying.

But I have to admit, the deal was too attractive to refuse.

And you've turned
us down in the past.

But I'm not my
brother Gerald.

The deal works.

And I don't go into
a business to fail.

Neither do I.

Ever since Gerald got sick and I took control of this company,

I've been expanding it.

How is Gerald doing?

He's tough as nails.

And 100 percent behind this.

For Fortune Industries, men's fragrance is the new frontier.

You remind me a lot of him.

I am nothing like that man.

Beaudin for Men.

It's all about you.

Astute. Savvy.

Why the sudden interest?

The time is right.

Male fragrance sales
are skyrocketing.

And your personal brand
speaks to that mysterious,

successful business man that
women love and men want to be.

We can benefit
your core business.

And you can benefit ours.
It's a win win.

But I think we both know

that our interest
in you isn't sudden.

It's purely business to me.

I lend my image to
my brand every day.

Your social media support
is pure brilliance.

My team is excellent.

Ah, you're being humble.
It's perfect.

Your product blended with
a just enough of your

personality to legitimize
the connection.

That's an interesting
choice of words.

Whether it's my wine,
my club, I curate it.

And I control it.

Yes. Clear.

You wouldn't be a successful entrepreneur if you didn't.

I need final approval
on the creative

and the product quality.

And I need final approval
on manufacturing

and the international
roll out.

Agreed.

Agreed!

Fastest negotiation ever. (laughs)

So, Lucas, has Robin
given you the tour?

Ah a little.

The greenhouses
are enchanting.

The greenhouses.

Those have been
Robin's playhouse

since she was
a little girl.

Her Mother loved flowers.

And that's probably why
her art direction includes

so much lovely greenery
and flowing bouquets.

Especially at
Christmas time.

For her Foyer this year,

it's been inspired by
the 'Magic of Paris'.

That magic is
close to my heart.

And to yours, I'm sure?

Oh, not so much anymore.

I've discarded all of
my Parisian dreams,

thanks to not one but
two French husbands.

(everyone chuckles)

Those dreams are
all Robin's now.

Well, I have to re-schedule
the campaign photographer

to tomorrow afternoon, so we've
booked you at the Hiltshire.

Excuse me, I have to
go make those calls.

I will email you
the schedule.

Sure. Thank you.

Je dois y aller aussi.

Oh, thank you so much.

And I will have
my staff get you

a more appropriate
winter coat.

Oh. Okay.
Thank you.

-Au revoir.
-Au revoir.

(door slides open and closed)

Gerald?

You're my brother and I love
you, but -

Yes, he's here.
I just met with him.

And you know the only reason
I could have gotten him here

so quickly was to jump
the gun and set up

the campaign photography
without the deal signed.

I had to give up
product and creative.

So you're welcome.

What do I think of him?

I think your apple hasn't
fallen far from the tree,

that's what I think.

Oh, yes. Our tree.

I stand corrected.

He's a lot like us.

I like him.

I think I've met my
match and then some.

Just remember who
got him here - me.

And who needs to
speak with him - you.

So, this baton
has been passed.

Great job today, Jessie.

Thank you so much.

And I'll see you
at the shoot.

-Yeah.
-All right.

You look ridiculous.

When in Montana...
Kate insisted.

You live here.

Would you be able to recommend
a restaurant for dinner?

Ah, Eileen's.
It never disappoints.

Any chance you can
join me tonight.

Ha! No thank you.

Here's my card.

Now that I have creative
approval, we need to talk.

I reviewed the mood boards.

They don't work for me.

Not a problem.
Send me your notes.

Where do I even start?

Frivolity. Excess.

Portraying my life as
pointless, immature, shallow.

You're saying I need to
re-think the whole direction?

Yes, I am.

The creative doesn't
align with me personally.

I'm saying you don't
know me at all.

I'm saying you
should postpone.

And I'm saying that nicely.

Dinner?

Ah, let's make it breakfast. Eight a.m. tomorrow.

My hotel.

(cell phone rings)

Hey Becca.

Come out to Karaoke tonight!

I am just looking at what a
crack social media team can do.

(Becca) You need to come
out once in a while!

I miss your
terrible singing.

Please say you'll come.

(Robin) Next week.
I promise.

Have fun.

(horse neighs)
(Robin) Hey there, Prince.

Hey.

Are you the best Prince
Charming there ever was?

How's my birdie?

I'm fine, Dad.

Oh no. You're not fine.
Come here.

Give me a hug.

So. Is it work?
Or is it personal?

Or just life in general?

Oh, it's work.

Someone didn't like my
vision for a campaign today.

No! That's not possible.

(Robin laughs)
True, though.

"Not aligned with
me personally".

Oh, okay. So you don't understand this person then?

Harsh, Dad.

No. He's just pulling rank. Because he can.

Well is he right?

Maybe.

You like to get right
to the tough stuff.

I do what I can.

Well, you might
have a point.

Possibly he's coming from
a deeper level on this.

Maybe he's not as
superficial as I thought.

People thought
you were superficial

when you were a model.
Right?

I mean, you're a human being, but people didn't see that.

Most people kind of assume
that models are a little flaky.

And I just did
that to a handsome

French night club owner.

Oh!

Yeah, I walked away from
being the Face of Fortune

because it never represented
who I truly was.

I think that's where
I was going with this.

He's not his brand image.
That's his team.

He's, he's smart.

Okay. Now this guy definitely
sounds interesting.

(they both laugh)

And I need to apologize.
And re-think.

Thanks, Dad.
Your hugs cure all.

Best Dad ever.

Oh. Well. I try.

You know I'm a
pretty good listener.

And I've noticed that these
last three weeks that you've

missed Karaoke night
with your friends.

Come on!
You've got to get there.

Go, have some fun.

I will.

But tonight, I have a
date with my Prince.

(horse neighs)

Are you going to ride
out to your Mom's marker?

Yeah. I need to be
there sometimes.

It helps me think.

Yeah, I know.

It's been a very
difficult year for us.

It's our first
Christmas without her.

I miss her every day, Dad.

I do too.

You know, it was the way
that she showed us love

at this time of year.

I mean, she just made us
both feel very very special.

And she succeeded too.

I'm trying to get in the
spirit to honor her.

But sometimes I
still get so sad.

Hey, come here.

Now, you're going
to get out there.

I don't care if it's
Karaoke or riding horses.

But you're going to
start having some fun.

I'll sing it
from the saddle.

(they both laugh)

I love you, sweetheart.

I love you too, Dad.

(reading) Famous tycoon Gerald Fortune is finally

going public with his long battle with cancer.

I don't owe you a call.

I don't owe you anything.

(phone ringing)

Someone must miss his
Maman to be calling me

so early in
the morning.

Oh, desole.

I should have
checked the time.

It's all right.
I was up feeding the cat.

For our Christmas,
family Christmas,

do you want me to bring
anything? I don't know.

Lucas, I know you did
not call me at this hour

to talk about
Christmas plans.

Have you seen him?

No.

I'm sure that you
have questions.

Otherwise you wouldn't
be in Montana at all.

And definitely not
visiting aunt Kate.

Yeah.
Maybe you're right.

Maybe a part of me is
a little bit curious.

I'm sure.

And perhaps for one moment
you could think about

where your talent for
business comes from. Hmm?

It's too little,
it's too late.

He missed a lot of your
life, but it's not too late.

He's your Father, Lucas.

He's nothing.

Maman, I'm sorry.
My lawyer's calling.

(restaurant din)

And a very Merry Christmas
to you, young lady.

Merry Christmas to
you, too, Santa.

Do the elves have
everything ready?

Ho ho ho!

Good morning, Robin.
Coffee?

Please.

Coffee please.

Lucas, I want to sincerely
apologize to you

for making assumptions
about you for the campaign.

Thank you.

I like the way
you start the day.

I just went with the
lowest common denominator

of your nightclub-and-wine
playboy persona.

I didn't take the time to
dig beneath the surface

and get to know who
you really are.

I went with the obvious.

I suppose it is obvious.

But this is not the
full truth about me.

I know, it's
superficial, one note.

There's no depth, no
complexity to my art direction.

The games room, playing
poker, stark lighting.

Over-used stereotypes
of masculinity.

What? Do you mean this
man is "a player"?

Well. If your social
media is to be believed.

But there's more
to me than that.

Passion for business.
Drive.

I love Christmas.

And I can't wait to
celebrate with my Mom.

I'm happy when I'm
walking, out on my land

or in the back
streets of Paris.

I hear you.

I know, it sounds kind of
strange because I've never

actually lived there,
but I feel homesick

for the streets
of Paris.

Long walks, observing life.
It's very French.

I must've been there
a hundred times

because of my modeling.

And my Mom was
always with me.

We hung out all
day and night.

But we never had time to
actually see the city.

It was always airports, taxis,
dressing rooms, runways.

C’est dommage.

A pity?
Yes and no.

I loved modeling.

All work and no play.
That is a pity.

That was a long time ago.

I still dream of
finding the time

to go back there and
wander, explore.

Enough about me.

It's you I need
to get to know

if we're going to
pull this off.

I need to understand what it
is you want to represent.

Well, I like to know the
person I'm working with

so let's agree that the
best course of action

is to get to know each
other a little more

than what the glossy ads
and the insta feeds show us.

Fine. We should schedule
more time then.

Later today? Four?

I will have the
limousine pick you up.

Oh no.
My place.

We're doing this
on my terms.

You know what you want.
I like it.

Honestly?

I never lie to
anyone I'm dating.

(laughs) Well,
we're not dating.

Are you seeing anyone?

Not at the moment.

There are some crummy guys.

Some nice ones. But even then, they were just nice.

None for the long term.

I can't find the right
woman to begin with.

I feel like women
are interested in

my public persona not
the person I really am.

It's not really the winner's
circle for either of us.

Four p.m.
I'll send the address.

Oh, and I know what you should get your Mom for Christmas.

You haven't even met her.

She's a Mom, isn't she?
Yes, she'll love it.

Come here.

Oh.

(Lucas voice over)For your tree in the foyer.

Paris is filled
with romance.

Montana is filled

From, Santa.

Ah, it's cute.

I'll find the
perfect place for it.

Maybe on my Dad's tree.

You do understand that Lucas
is flirting with you, right?

And you know the
devastating year I've had.

The last thing I need is a

French millionaire
playboy in my heart.

And how's it that I even
know one of those anyway?

It sounds ridiculous
saying the words

"French millionaire playboy".

And what exactly is not
positive about that?

It's kind of funny.

I'm just not ready yet.

Back to work.

(Lucas reading from note)
Meet me in the stables.

No white dress tonight?

Despite what you saw
at work yesterday,

I don't do formal wear.

Somehow you look perfect
in anything you put on.

Thanks, but this
fits me best.

You could use
another layer or two.

-So we're actually...
-What?

Going out on a one
horse open sleigh?

One horse. Sleigh.

So my favorite place to be is
wherever there are horses.

Lucas - meet Prince.

(horse neighs)

Prince.

My favorite place to be is
wherever there are cocktails.

I dressed for dinner.

I thought you'd like a
real Montana experience.

A legendary sleigh ride.

And I can hear a little
bit more about France

while I show
you my world.

Be careful around
the horses.

I'll be back in a minute.

Thanks!

Right!
Harder than I expected.

Hey Betty.

Hi there, my friend.
Prince, right?

(Lucas indistinct
chattering to horse)

I did not see that coming.
I'm impressed!

Do you want me to harness
him or find us some blankets?

You're speaking my language.

I actually don't have a

as much as I'd like.

Yeah? You just make yourself
right at home. Okay?

This is all kind of new
to me because Robin,

she never invites
anyone here.

Dad!

That's an honor,
I assure you.

Yeah, okay.
Right back.

I hope you like sugar.

This is the icing.

We use that to stick the
walls and the roof together.

Kind of like mortar.

The icing helps to hide
the burnt bits, too.

No?

We don't normally

Really?

It's beautiful.

I can see the Notre
Dame Cathedral.

Well it would be, with
some good lighting.

So, tell me something
about Robin.

Preferably
embarrassing and funny.

Okay. Well, firstly,
she's very motivated.

She's passionate.

I mean, she was with her
schooling, her modeling,

and then her career.

And secondly, she loves
animals. So sweet.

When she was two, she was
obsessed with chickens,

in a weird sort
of way. Baaak!

So embarrassing!

(Lucas giggles)

Third, she's kind
of a date fumbler.

Yeah, I don't know
what's wrong with her.

-Dad!
-It's just so sad.

Maybe we could focus on my
competitive riding days.

Allow me! Allow me guys!

(all laughing)

(whispering)
Are you seeing this?

(whispering)
I'm admitting defeat.

I have tried but I cannot
find a single fault.

(whispering) Well, please tell me you will not fumble this.

(whispering) I was counting
on you to fumble it.

At the least, you could
give him a hard time!

(whispering)
Honey? A hard time?

The guy does dishes.

(Robin groans)

(Cliff) That's Robin
on a family trip.

Oh, and there she is with
her braces that she just

loved so much, she
didn't want removed.

Isn't that right?
(laughs)

Do you have any
with crimped hair?

Oh yeah!

When will this end?

(Lucas)Who is this lovely lady?

(Cliff) That's my late
wife, Veronica.

Oh, elle est tres belle.

Yes, she was beautiful.

Umm. If you'll excuse me.

I'm going to give you
two some alone time.

Loosing someone is hard.

Last year must have been
tough on you and your Dad.

It was.

It still is.

You must miss her a lot.

I do.

She gave me everything.

My love for horses.
My love for flowers.

I am who I am
because of her.

She sounds like a
wonderful woman.

I wish I could have met her.

She saw the best in people.

She made you want
to be better.

She would've seen right
through all that stuff

that's out there about you.

Unlike me.

Hey. It's easy not
to see the real me.

Sometimes it's
convenient for me

to hide behind
my public image.

It keeps people
at arm's length.

Although I'm
getting tired of it.

When I saw your impression
of me in the campaign...

No, it made me think
about what I want

the next phase of
my life to be.

I want the campaign
to reflect that.

To reflect you.

I want you to see
who I really am.

My Mom would've loved you.

I mean, she loved France.

In fact, it was our dream.

We had plans to travel.

She will always be with you.

Will you stop saying
all the right things.

I'm really starting to...

And I think she
would have loved you

even more than
my Dad does.

(Lucas chuckles)

(sobs) We were going to go
to Paris this Christmas

and see all
the sights.

It's so hard this year...

Hey.

I think...

Yes?

We should call it a night.

Okay.

(Assistant)
Robin.

(Lucas)
Thank you.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Merry day before
Christmas Eve!

I think Kate's
in her office.

I already signed
the deal with her.

I'm here for you.

I wanted to thank you for
a great time yesterday.

And, I brought you
a little something.

A 'farewell' gift,
if you will.

You're leaving?

Tonight.
Back to Paris.

I promised my Mom I'd
be home for Christmas.

Right.

It's beautiful.

It'll go perfectly
on the tree.

Well, I should
get back to work.

After this I have to
start on the mood boards

for the campaign.

I'll be ready to
present some new ideas

to you as soon
as you're back.

Great.

Au revoir Robin.

I could use some help.

From a Paris
expert, if you will.

Avec plaisir.

Impressively researched.

Ha! Very funny.

(they both laugh)

Oh here. I need you to
taste this mulled wine.

Thank you.

And tell me if tastes like

it really does at the
Christmas markets.

Mmm.
Bravo.

-Good!
-Yeah.

You read my mind.

This is my favorite
part of the holidays.

Oh look!
I actually found...

Macaron decorations.
And real candles.

Okay, real-ish. They're battery operated for safety,

but the mood is the same.

I've never seen anyone so passionate about tree garnish.

And the piece de resistance...

Pearls!

(laughs)
I see.

So what do you say?

Want to help me decorate?

Wow.

It's beautiful.

One more thing.

My Mom made this for me
when I was little girl.

A beautiful Christmas
robin for her Robin.

It's perfect.

There.

Now it's perfect.

Any way you can delay your
plane for a few hours

so we can go downtown
and have lunch?

Sure.

Really?

You said it.
It's my plane.

-It can go anytime.
-Right.

For a minute there, I forgot
you weren't a real person.

(chuckles)
Very funny.

(restaurant din)

Isn't that better than
any fancy French pastry?

It is. But because
I'm eating it here.

It's a Montana classic.
Same with our stew.

I think this new venture

is going to bring
me back here a lot.

Did Kate pay
you to say that?

No, I'm serious.

Are you ready
for your flight?

Ah. I hate to leave.

I'm not ready to
say goodbye to you

but I made a promise I'd
be home for Christmas.

I don't want you
to go either.

But family is important.

Come with me.

To Paris?

-Yes.
-Well...

Because you're right.

Christmas in
Paris is magical.

It would be an honor
to share it with you.

Plus you can get
to know my world.

You know, inspiration
for the shoot.

Just pick up and go?

Ah. Well, ah...

To see the real
you in Paris

would help me with
my mood boards.

To see the real you in
your natural element.

I'll keep the jet fueled.

And you can go
home any time.

I'm sorry.

You probably have
plans with your Father.

He's actually going to his
brother's for Christmas.

To get away.

He'd miss me, but
he'd understand.

Okay.

Check please!

We are going to Paris!

(Lucas) This is one of the many tree-lined streets of Paris.

It's concept came from...

(Robin)
André le Notre.

(Lucas)
Wow!

(Robin) His other works included the design of gardens and parks

at Chantilly, Fontainebleau,
Saint-Germain

and of course Versailles.

(Lucas)
Of course!

(Robin)
His contributions to planning

were also very significant.

At the Tweet... Twee...

Tuileries.

Twee... Twee... Tuileries.

(they both laugh)

He extended the
westward vista,

which later became the
avenue of the Champs-Élysées.

Wow, well, I see you definitely did your Paris research.

No research.

That was straight
up from my Mom.

Show off.

(Lucas) So. This is one
of my favorite gardens.

When things at the office
are a bit too much,

I come here to think.

And when it really snows,
it looks...

Magnifique!

(Robin)
I'm trying to picture it.

You, strolling along, all
alone, having a think.

You know, it's
customary to kiss

in front of the
Centauresse et Faune.

Well, you could be making
that up, but I'll take it!

Am I actually taking

a leisurely stroll

Finally? And not just
driving by in a taxi.

You look natural.

Are you sure you're
not Parisian?

(they both laugh)

Everything about this
city is so romantic!

Thank you for
bringing me here.

And making all my
dreams come true.

I wish this dream
would never end.

I could stay here forever.

Well, we could stay in
my flat in the city.

But I think not.

I want to show you
another side of France.

You like family, right?

Uh huh.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Here we are.

It's like being
in a painting.

This is where I grew up.

Ah, la douceur du foyer.

There's no place like home.

Maman!

Lucas!

Il y a belle lurette!

And I have your
Christmas wish.

Maman je te presente... Robin.

En fin! Une petite amie!

I go get the luggage.

Finally. He brings
home a girl.

It's so nice to meet
you, Madame Beaudin.

Ah, please, call me Camille.

Make yourself at home.

(Robin) You didn't have to
go through all this trouble.

Oh! Trouble? No.

This is what we always
do on Christmas Eve.

We celebrate!

Well, it's gorgeous.
And so elaborate.

Plus important,
c'est delicieux.

Delicious.

We always have a traditional

Christmas dinner
on Christmas Eve.

And on Christmas Day
is just for presents.

Tell me everything!

(they both giggle)

One year, Lucas's Uncle Thomas,
dressed up as Pere Noel.

Poor Lucas was so
afraid of the beard.

He hide, he cried.

He cried so much
that he ended up...

What's the word? Umm...

Blah!

Maman! Robin doesn't
want to know that stuff.

Oh yes I do!

Oh la la. And then my poor
boy had an asthma attack.

Oh, I didn't know
you have asthma.

Only when I'm upset
or really stressed.

I'm good.

Each time he wheezed, I would
sit beside him and worry.

Maman, you're wonderful.

Cheers to Camille.
Santé!

Santé!

(Camille)
Santé!

(glasses clink)

(footsteps coming towards Robin)

Thanks again for
a lovely dinner.

Oh, thank you so
much for coming.

Your son can be
very persuasive.

I have never seen
him so happy.

You are the first girlfriend
he's ever brought to meet me.

-Really?
-Uh huh.

I figured there
must've been many.

No. Just you.

Oh perhaps a little girl in
kindergarten named Charlotte.

(Robin laughs)

I'm so happy
he brought you.

Bonne nuit.

Good night.

(cell phone ringing)

Hey Dad.

Merry Christmas from
far away! Ho ho ho!

Your Uncle Jeff says 'Hello'!
So how's Paris?

I just had to follow my heart.

(Cliff)Yeah, of course you did.

You know, your Mom and I,

we almost got married
on our first date.

We drove around Las Vegas
looking for a chapel

but they were all booked.

She'd get so embarrassed
every time I tell that story.

(Cliff sobs)
I miss her something awful.

Me too.

I see her everywhere here.

She'd want us to be
happy for the holidays.

Yeah, I keep trying.

Merry Christmas, Dad.

I'll be back by the
time you get home.

(Robin)Say 'hi' to Uncle Jeff.

I will.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart. Love you.

I love you too.

I'm in France, Mom.

For Christmas Eve.

(cell phone rings)

Hello?

Hello Robin.
It's Gerald Fortune.

(Camille)I'm glad you slept well.

(Robin) I did.
It was so comfortable.

(Camille)Oh!

-Merry Christmas!
-Joyeux Noel!

Joyeux Noel!

(Robin)
It smells delicious.

You haven't cooked in years! It's about time.

It's part of your
Christmas present, Maman.

Although I'm still full
from your feast last night.

Oh la la.

What do you say if we open
presents after we eat?

Presents? There's presents?

(Robin and Camille laugh)

You're funny.

When has Pere Noel ever
forgotten about you? Hmm?

À la table.

Are you up for a drive?

A drive along the French
countryside with you?

Sounds terrible.

I can't believe this place!

Everything is
just so magical.

It has its charms.

-And it's yours?
-Uh huh.

All yours?

(Lucas) Un plaisir non partagé
n'est plaisir qu'à moitié.

What does that mean?

It means this is a place
for sharing. With you.

Whoa! Does anyone
actually live here?

I live here sometimes.

But it's far from the city.
And it can get lonely.

Come, I'll show
you the cellars.

I bought this vineyard
for the old vines.

They produce better wines.

But growing up not too far
away, it feels like home.

A stylish country boy.
With a vineyard.

And his own plane.

I can be a country boy
sometimes, can't I?

-You certainly can.
-Mind your head.

Let me share one of
our favorite vintages.

(Lucas)
You'll tell me.

Cheers.

Ah.

This is stunningly
delicious!

You are stunningly
beautiful.

I'm really glad you
brought me here.

And I'm glad you came.

And I want you to know.

You can tell me anything.
I'd never judge you.

A part of me wants to sell
the nightclub and settle down.

And just, live on my land. Sipping wine. Watching sunsets.

The winery could use a
visionary art director.

You don't need much
art directing here.

There's beauty
everywhere you look.

I couldn't agree more.

Lucas.

I need to tell
you something.

And I also need you to
listen with an open mind

and without judgement.

Anything. It is my
Christmas present.

Gerald Fortune
called me last night.

What?

Why did he call you?

He told me the truth about
his relationship to you.

This man is nothing to me.

You have no right to
interfere with my life.

That man has no right to
interfere with my life.

Kate told him we were
spending Christmas together,

so he called.

Lucas, the man is very sick.

I don't want to hear
anything he has to say.

I know he's hurt you.

He rejected me!

I know.

All my life I've struggled

with knowing my
biological father

never wanted to
get to know me.

He didn't show up.
Even once.

He has never even
acknowledged me. Nothing.

Lucas, I have known
Gerald my whole life.

He's not the same
man he was back then.

He knows how much
he's hurt others.

It's too late for me.
It's just too late.

You must be curious too

or you wouldn't have
done the deal either.

You came to see your
aunt, your family.

I know you think
you're helping.

But this is my life.
Not yours.

Lucas, I'm sorry.

If this is moving
way too fast,

I was just
trying to help.

I never should have
said those things.

I never should have
presumed your feelings.

Or preached to you.

And, really, when
I think about it,

I don't really know
what I'm doing here.

You were right.

This is your world.

Maybe I should just
go back to mine.

Maybe it would be best.

Lucas?

Please. May we talk?

You care about her.

And she cares about you.

She doesn't have any idea.

Lucas, she has a point.

It might be good for you to
find out what he's like.

Ask any questions.

That, that... He didn't want anything to do with me

and now he wants to
come into my life?

Gerald called me too.

That's why you suddenly
want me to meet him.

People do change, mon cher.

Allez. Chocolat chaud.

(Camille)
Look.

I was young and in love.
Once upon a time.

I met Gerald when I was
working as a nanny in Montana.

I thought we were
going to last forever.

I was going to tell him that
I was pregnant with you.

But then I found out that he
was not going to leave his wife.

I was so stupid.

Attends, attends.

You were going to
tell him about me?

But you never did?

You never told him?

I am so sorry.

I wanted to so much.

All those years, I
felt rejected by him.

But he didn't even
know I existed.

How could you?

When he didn't want to leave
his wife, I was so hurt.

He didn't want to have me,

so I didn't want
him to have you.

I came home
pregnant with you.

And I never looked back.

And by the time Gerald
heard about you,

you were already grown.

Maman.

All these years.

(sobbing)
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that I let you believe that you were rejected.

And after all these
years have passed...

I was afraid to tell you
that it was my fault.

And then I realized that
depriving you of your Father

was so much worse than
depriving Gerald of his son.

I wanted to protect you.

But I hurt you instead.
I'm so sorry.

How could you
keep this from me?

Let me think he
abandoned me?

Believe me, if I could do
things differently, I would.

(crying)
I love you.

I understand.

You hated Gerald
your whole life.

You are an adult now.

You have to let go of this
burden or it will destroy you.

I don't know, Maman.
I don't know.

Guilt carries
the same weight.

It almost destroyed Gerald.

He wants to make amends
before it's too late.

I need to take some time.
Right now.

(wheezing)

(breathing heavy)

(crashing)

(breathing heavy, wheezing)

(coughing)

Ah. There he is.

Ca va, Jean.

Merci pour y-allez.

What happened?

I believe you saw
your future slip away

and then you passed out.

But luckily I had
my rescue inhaler.

You take it.

Robin?
Did she come back?

No. She's gone.

May I offer some
motherly advice?

Have I ever been
able to stop you?

(chuckles) You've had more success in business

than you could
ever dream of.

I am so proud of you.

You have everything in
life you could wish for.

Everything except...
Love.

(Camille) All she wanted
to do was to help.

Yes, maybe it was
not her place,

but it came from the heart.

And now you're just
being stubborn.

Like your Father.

(Camille)
Mmm.

Mais vous vous
depassez, Jean.

(Lucas)
You're right, Maman.

Tu as raison.

I just want to meet
him on my own terms.

What? You thought I was
never going to do it?

Not without a little push.
(chuckles)

I hate to say it, but I've
been playing the moment

I meet him in my head
for my whole life.

Will he recognize what I've
accomplished without him?

Understand that,
I don't need him.

Will he be proud of me?

It's so much easier
to push him away

than to open myself
up to rejection.

I have never seen you
take the easy way out.

I won't be able to stand
it if he rejects me again.

Lucas.

He did not reject you then.

He won't reject you now.

And Robin...

She won't refuse
you either.

So, go. Get her.

She's the one.
She's the one.

Merci, Maman.

Fuel the jet.
I'm on my way.

(cell phone rings)

(cell phone continues to ring)

(ringing tone)

(ringing tone)

There's one right
there by the window.

(cell phone ringing)

Hey Robin.

Hey Becca.
What are you doing tonight?

Washing my hair.
Walking my cat.

Want to go to a party?

The Sugar Plum Party?

Yes!

I'm going to the
Sugar Plum Party!

That's right.
That's exactly what I want.

And I want it today.

She doesn't want
to see you, Lucas.

Nothing personal, at least
not from me, anyway.

You have every right to
want to keep me away.

But I came here
to say I'm sorry.

Look, I'm sure
that's genuine.

You don't mind
me saying so,

I'm not sure that you
deserve my Robin.

All she wanted
to do was help.

I know.
She didn't deserve that.

I had years of
anger built up

and I unleashed
it on her.

Well she's not
here right now.

She doesn't want to see you.

I actually came
here to talk to you.

Come on in.

♪ (band plays classical Christmas music) ♪

(indistinct chattering)

Hi. Thanks for coming.

Okay, Lucas.

(big inhale)

Let's do this.

On y va.

(Robin)
Becca! You made it.

I thought you
needed a few hugs.

More than a few. I need
as many as you can spare.

What would I do without you?

Sing Karaoke in tune, maybe?

(they both laugh)

My Mom packed you some of her
homemade Christmas caramels.

Seriously? What would I do without you and your Mom?

And the caramels?

Let's go eat
some in the back.

Cool.

(Kate) I want you to talk
to Mark because...

Please excuse me.

There's my
best-selling face!

Bon soir, Kate.

My handsome nephew.

Welcome to the family. Officially.

Is Robin here?

Ah, you know she'd
rather be anywhere else.

But yes, she's
here under protest.

She says it's jet lag but I
know it's something more.

But before that...
Come with me.

There's someone who's been
waiting a long time to meet you.

I'll let you two
get acquainted.

Play nice.

(door slides closed)

Gerald.

Lucas. It's good to
finally set eyes on you.

You have your Mother's eyes.

Camille!
Her name is Camille.

(Gerald) I haven't
forgotten her. Never will.

I suppose you're
angry with me.

Of course I'm
angry with you.

You lied to my Mother,

and then you threw her away
and went back to your family.

And you expect us - what?

To suddenly have
a relationship now?

Because you say so?

I really don't.

I'm just an old man

who wants to meet his
son and apologize.

I apologized to Camille,

and her heart was big
enough to forgive me.

I'm here because I realized
that I'm tired of resenting you.

Good. Resentment is
a wasted emotion.

It's certainly wasted on me.

I've been following
your successes.

And your life from afar.

And for what it's worth,
I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

Look, I don't want
or need anything

from the Fortune family.
This isn't about money.

If I thought it was,

do you think I'd try so
hard to track you down?

I just wanted to
set eyes on you,

see what kind
of man you are.

So what kind of man am I?

A much better man than I am. That's for sure.

I wasn't expecting that.

I hear you may be spending
more time in Montana

with this deal that
Kate's cooked up?

That, and, Montana
has its charms.

(chuckles)
That it does.

You know you and I
are quite similar.

Successful, and ambitious...

Unable to commit.

I'm sorry for what I did
to your Mother. And you.

Didn't you love your wife?

Oh I did.

I just didn't appreciate
her the way I should have.

But that's where I
believe we are different.

(Lucas)
I hope so.

I know so.

You're too smart to make
the same mistakes I did.

Maybe not the same mistakes.

But I've fallen head over
heels for someone

and I pushed her away.

I assume we're
talking about Robin.

I saw her downstairs and she
looks as beautiful as ever.

But she seemed to be
lacking that spark.

Do you want her back?

Oh, absolument.
Pour le reste de ma vie.

Alors, jamais
laissez partir.

I've known Robin ever
since she was little.

And she's always had an
infinity for the color purple.

This...
was your Grandmother's.

My Mother's.

I think you could
put it to good use.

I, I couldn't.

Besides, I have my own.

It's beautiful.

But what does
it mean to you?

That means...

That I know the top
jewelers in New York.

This means I know my family.

Thank you.

Do you think that I'd be
able to see you again?

Yes. I think so.

Thank you.

That's more than I expected.

More than I deserve.

(indistinct chattering)

How'd it go?

Better than I ever expected.

I want to thank
you for everything.

I solve problems.
That's what I do.

And this family has
a lot of problems.

-Sorry.
-Oh sure.

Here he comes.

(Lucas)
Robin!

Don't.

I don't want to hear
what you have to say.

I'm sorry.
I behaved horribly.

Well, you're not wrong.

But I had no right
to be angry with you.

We should have
talked about it.

I'm just not used
to being so open.

Well, I'm sorry too.

I'm sorry that I forced
you into a situation

that you weren't
ready for.

I'm sorry that I went
to Paris with you...

Je suis fou de toi.
I'm crazy about you.

That's all I know.

Oh, please stop.
I'm here for work.

(Kate)
There you are, Robin.

How about you show us your
new vision for the campaign?

Ah, I'm so excited!

Sure.

Oh good. Sorry to take you
away from all the fun.

It'll just be a moment.
Come on.

(Robin)
It's crisp, clear-headed, real.

It's just you
and your world.

It's about fresh air, and
moving through the world

exactly the way you want to.

It's inspiration for how
you curate your life.

That's the most beautiful
thing ever said

about any human being.

Well. What do you
think, Lucas?

I mean, this campaign
is so genuine.

Like the real you.

I think you're the first
person ever to see the real me.

Thank you, Robin.

So then, you approve?
Robin can set up the shoot?

Not quite.

First, I want to shoot at
least some of the campaign

in France for authenticity.

Second, having Robin,
the face of Fortune,

in these ads will join
our brands and family.

I want you with me, Robin.

And I won't move
forward without that.

I've just given you my
best creative vision.

And now you want
my image, too?

You know I'm done
with modeling.

And with a lot
of other things.

You two are part of the family that I care about.

I want to bring together.

That's beautiful.

But it really
is up to Robin.

Me?

I'm done.

(door closes)

So things are not okay then.

I'm fine.

He just that he has a lot
of positive qualities.

You're on his side?

I'm not on a side.

It's just that he
wanted to let you in.

You know, he showed you
his home, his country.

Well, he didn't try to
stop me when I left.

Well, maybe you should look at this from a male perspective.

You know, guys, we
need help sometimes.

Oh by all means. Please.
Explain it to me Dad.

It's just, you forced
Lucas to face something

that he wasn't
ready to.

Maybe it's easy for you to
face your feelings,

but a lot of guys, we have
a hard time with that.

Oh poor men.

Look, I'm just saying - he
got angry, you're upset.

That's a huge mess.

I can agree with you on
the 'huge mess' part.

Thanks, Dad.

I meant what I said, Robin.

I want you with me.

So we can pick up our
public personas again?

And I can be
forced to pretend

I'm a part of your world?

No. Not just in the photos.

That would never be enough.

I want you to be with me.
In my life.

I want you to be with me. Forever.

(Robin gasps)

I love you, Robin.

I knew it from the
minute I met you.

You... you love me?

I love you.

You came into my life and you
brought happiness and hope.

Please, with you
I am a better man.

Will you marry me?

I'm sorry.

But the answer is no.

'No'?

You don't love me?

That's not the point.

You can't just buy me with
gifts and flowery words.

I need you to know who I am.

I want you to
know what I like,

what I fear,
what I dream...

You wear purple

because that was your
Mother's favorite color.

Your work is not just your
work, it feeds your soul.

If you don't want to be the
face of Fortune anymore,

that's fine.
I'm not asking you to be.

Your new campaign reveals
the real me to the world,

but it's not complete,
I am not complete...

Without you.

I am in love with you.

And whether we're
sleighing through Montana

or walking alongside
the Champs-Élysées,

you are where
I want to be.

Lucas...

This ring... is a part of
the history of my family.

The family you
helped me to know.

And, it would be my
honor if you will accept.

I already asked your Dad and
he gave me his permission.

At least I took his
bear hug as a yes.

(they both laugh)

Yes!

(guests clapping and cheering)
