All language subtitles for Christmas Eve 45 (2012)

No empty cups, please,
on the tables.

Great party.
Oh, thank you so much.

Well?

I told you that a Christmas-
themed bar mitzvah

would never work.

Just look at
this disaster.

I'’m going to have to decide
how to properly punish you.

I can assure you that
it will never happen again.

Good, because
if you keep this up,

there'’ll be bigger things
on your plate.

Hug rule.

Table four would like to
know if their wassail is kosher.

You can tell that it is.
Okay.

Will you excuse me?
I have to

go do some of my trademark
obsessing and compulsing

that you'’ve learned to
love and admire about me.

Obsess and compulse away.

We'’ll continue this in my
office tomorrow morning.

Nice work, Wright.

Thank you.

Wait, so the Dragon Lady
actually gave you props?

You have no idea
how lucky you are

that you work for yourself.

Lucky?
Okay, my boss

makes me work long hours,
overtime every night.

She never gives me a raise,

plus I'’ve got to find
an artist to do the bar'’s

Christmas mural.

It just never ends.

I think I'’m gonna head home.

We'’ve paid enough homage
to my little triumph today.

No way.
You'’re about to ditch me

for ten days in Vermont
with your hipster prince.

This is our night.

Fifteen minutes.

Twenty.

Fine, but you owe me.

What you drinking?

Oh, it'’s a little
embarrassing, actually.

Couldn'’t be more embarrassing
than a pineapple daiquiri.

Hey, back off, okay?
That'’s

like my favorite drink in the
world.

Cheers.

I see you'’ve already
passed my man-of-taste-

and-refinement test,

not to mention you'’re
so clearly comfortable

with your manhood.

Wow. Five minutes,
we'’re already talking

about my manhood?

You'’re bad.

I'’ve been called that
and many other things,

but my friends call me Aidan.

Eve.

How about a refill?

You look thirsty.

What are you doing?

I put myself through college
behind a bar.

So, what do you do?

No, wait, don'’t tell me.

Let me guess. Uh...

Artist.

Artist, huh?

Or female professional golfer.
That was my second guess.

I actually was the captain of
the mini golf team in high
school.

I did go
to art school, though.

Aha!

In the real world, I'’m
an event planner. Hmm.

I actually just came back
from a Christmas-themed

bar mitzvah.
Go figure.

That'’s quite
an interesting combination.

What do you do
for a living?

You mean other than whip up
girly drinks for complete

strangers?

Besides that.

Tech stuff.

I'’m actually in town meeting
with some venture capitalists.

How long
are you staying?

Out first thing in the morning,
unfortunately.

You know what?
I'’m gonna

let you get back to your friend
before she gets the wrong idea.

Yeah, I'’ll probably go home.

Gonna watch I t'’s a
Wonderful Lifeand hit the sack.

Well, it was very nice
meeting you, Eve.

It was nice
meeting you, too.

And if you ever have
any party planning needs in

the greater New York Metro area,

you should give me a call.

Absolutely.

Well, well, well!

I cannot leave you alone
for one minute.

I have a boyfriend,
remember?

Funny, I didn'’t hear you
mention that to him.

He'’s leaving tomorrow.
I'’m

probably never gonna see him
again.

Just like that, okay, bud?

Heard the bar mitzvah
went okay.

You'’d probably tell
Michelangelo he just did okay

with the Sistine Chapel, too,
wouldn'’t you?

Heard the news? You
finally got a mail order bride?

No. Buzz at the water cooler is
Elizabeth is planning some

sort of big announcement.

Such as?

Opening an office
in Los Angeles.

Really?

Question is, which talented
up-and-coming protégé

is she going
to get to run it?

I don'’t know, Matt. You?

I'’ll put in a good word for you
if you want to come work for me.

What would I do without you?

I need you. Now.

Right away, Ms. Cole.

No. Wright. Come.

You'’ve heard of a company
called Gobble?

Yes, of course, the
next generation social network.

Well, they are throwing a no-
expense

-spared Christmas Eve party

with the hopes of attracting
some important investors

before their
official relaunch.

Guess who they want
to plan it.

No expenses spared, huh?

This account can propel us
past our annual target.

If we do it right,

we can own half of the
tech sector next Christmas.

Well--

You know things
have been tight.

We need to meet
our quarterly goals

if we want
to expand, Wright.

Wait a minute.
This says that

they'’re
based in Los Angeles.

Beverly Hills,
to be specific.

I can'’t go to Los Angeles.
I have my trip.

I told you about my trip.

The CEO of Gobble
requested you personally.

That'’s ridiculous. I don't
know who the CEO of Gobble is.

Aidan Green,
this is Ms. Wright.

Ms. Right, huh?

Wright with a W.

Well, I'’ve heard fantastic
things about your work,

Ms. Wright with a W.

My friend says
your Christmas-themed

bar mitzvah was amazing.

Clearly your friend
has very good taste.

Three years ago I'’m having lunch
at this bistro on 38th Street

at my wit'’s end, trying to plan
this impossible book launch,

when here comes this
starving artist out of the blue,

just hands me a sketch.

Just went for it, huh?
Hired her on the spot.

My first and only impulsive move
in 17 years of owning a company.

Very impressive.

Your event is
in excellent hands.

Oh, um, I'’m so flattered
that your friend

recommended me so highly,

but I'’m actually
unavailable.

Mr. Green, would you mind
if I had a moment alone

with Ms.
Wright?

Yeah. I'’ll wait right outside.

May I remind you that,
at the moment,

you are still
in my good graces.

So I suggest you choose your
next words very carefully.

I just--
I can'’t do it.

Darren'’s taking me to Vermont
for Christmas.

Have I not made it clear
how important this is to

the future of my company?

No, you have.

Christmas happens
every year.

This account...
only happens once.

But I suppose I could
get Matt to run point.

It certainly would give him
a boost in running my new

west coast office.

It'’s a shame. I really thought
it was gonna be you.

Fine. I'’ll do it.
I'’ll do it.

Smart girl.

Would you ask Mr. Green
to join us again, please?

Excellent news,
Mr. Green.

Eve will be able to plan
your event after all.

Ah, that is fantastic.

You'’re really helping me
out of a bind here.

I can'’t tell you
what a relief this is.

Don'’t worry.

Your party will be the
must-see event of the year.

Won'’t it, Wright?

It will be spectacular.

Great. Well, I have
a plane to catch,

but I will see you
in Los Angeles tomorrow.

I'’m looking forward to it.

It was a pleasure
meeting you, Ms. Wright.

Mr. Green.

Elizabeth.

I suggest you
go home and pack.

This is gonna be the most
important

two weeks of your life.

Yes, ma'’am.

And you will need help.

I'’ll send Matt.

That would be great.

Hey.
Hola.

Picked up some dinner.
Just put it on the table.

I'’ll get some when I'm
done with this level.

I got some
kinda big news today.

Darren?

Yeah?

Hey, what'’s up?

So, you know how I'’m always
trying to get my boss

to notice me at work?

Yeah.

We signed Gobble
as an account today.

Wow. That'’s--
That'’s like huge.

Yeah. They want this like
super big Christmas Eve party,

and they want it planned
kinda quickly.

That'’s--
That'’s awesome, baby.

I'’m-- I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Could you grab me
some of that Chinese?

Smells great.

Um, so the party'’s in LA.
I leave tomorrow.

For how long?

Till Christmas.

But we go to Vermont
on the 19th.

I was thinking that maybe
we could go to Vermont

for New Year'’s.

I promised Andy
I'’d go to Atlantic City.

We'’ve had this
planned for months.

This is kind of
a big deal for me.

And I'’m not?

But this trip
could be my big break.

We could finally
afford to buy a place.

So you'’re choosing work
over me.

No, of course not.

I don'’t have a BFA in
studio art from NYU like you,

but I know what
making a choice is.

I promise to make it up to you
when I get back.

Hey, maybe you should
still go on the trip.

It could be kinda relaxing.

I do have a buddy that
would like to go skiing.

And a little time apart
could be good for us, you know?

I'’ll make the best of it.

For you, okay?

Thank you.

Mwah!

Chinese food?

You told me you set the alarm!

Ohh... I thought I did.

Taxi!

Hi.

LaGuardia.
And I'’m really late.

10 extra bucks if you can get me
there mostly alive before 7:30.

We were supposed
to meet here at 7:00.

I know.
My alarm didn'’t go off.

I'’m in the cab on my way.

I'’m not missing this plane
on your account.

I know. I'’ll be there
as soon as I can.

Oh, no.

This is the final boarding call
for Flight 815,

nonstop to Los Angeles,
now boarding at gate 211.

Sir, no, no, no!
I'’m here! I'm here! Hi.

Can you open that up, please?

You'’re awesome. I love you.
Thank you. Thanks.

Great. Now I can die happy.

Good morning.
How about

a complimentary drink
before takeoff?

Uh, sure. Thank you.

My pleasure. Enjoy.

This is great.

Oh, no.

Sorry. Oh! Ow!

This is the final boarding call
for Flight 815,

nonstop to Los Angeles,
now boarding at gate 211.

Sir, no, no, no!
I'’m here!

Can you please
open that back up?

Once the gate is closed, it must
remain closed at all times.

Nothing I can do about it. FAA
regulations. No, no.

I just saw you close it.
You can totally open it back up.

Ma'’am--
My job depends on this.

Well!

Okay, since you put it
that way, come through.

Really?
No, not really.

Have a good day.

In the unlikely event of
the loss of cabin pressure,

oxygen masks will automatically
lower from the ceiling.

Place the mask over
your nose and mouth

and pull the elastic
straps to fasten.

Breathe normally.

Please be sure to secure your
own mask before helping others.

Thank you so much and
have a wonderful flight.

Wright, you look like death.

It was a rough trip
to the airport.

Oh. You should try the Manhattan
to LaGuardia helicopter.

It'’s to die for.

Right, for sure,
next time.

Now remember, you'’re
representing me out there.

You kick ass, it'’s on me.
You screw up, it'’s on you.

Either way, I'’m gonna remember
who was running the show

when it comes time to decide
who'’s gonna be running

my west coast office.

Absolutely.

Are you you drinking
at 8:30 in the morning?

Um, no.

Well, why not?

The champagne'’s free in
First Class, for heaven'’s sake.

Indulge a little.

Okay, I will. Thank you.

Okay, well, you give me a call
right after the meeting.

And remember, it'’s
all about Christmas, Eve.

Oh, excuse me.

Another, please?
Right away.

Thanks.

Hi.
Can I help you?

I missed my flight to LA
this morning,

and I have a really important
business meeting this afternoon.

Let me see
what I can do, okay?

Thank you so much.

Sorry, there'’s a major storm
in the Midwest,

and all of our flights
are delayed.

I can get you on
a five o'’clock

that'’ll get you
into LAX at...

7:30 Pacific time.

I'’m sorry.
It'’s the next flight out.

Excuse me.

Wright? Are you still
in the airport?

I thought you'’d be on the
plane by now. Was it delayed?

Actually, I missed my flight.

Excuse me?

My alarm didn'’t go off
this morning,

and then I had trouble
getting a cab,

and I broke my heel
on the way to the gate.

Shh, shh, calm down.

Everything'’s
gonna be okay.

It is? Yes. I'’ve been taking
this new yoga class

that focuses
on inner peace, so...

deep breaths.

Okay. Deep breaths.

Okay, okay, okay,
this is what'’s gonna happen.

I'’m going to drop my three
New York holiday projects,

cancel my trip to Aspen,

charter my friend'’s
Cessna to get me to

Los Angeles later today

so I can save what'’s left
of the Gobble account,

along with
my company'’s reputation.

I don'’t understand.

No, you don'’t.

Otherwise, you would'’ve
made that flight.

You would'’ve hired a car
to get you to the airport.

You would have gotten there
three hours early.

Clearly I misjudged you,
Wright.

Look, I'’m gonna just
take a later flight today,

and I'’ll there in time to
have drinks with the client.

Life does not wait
for missed flights,

at least not on my team.

Now I suggest you use
whatever money you have left

to take a bus home

and hope your parents
can use your help in

that bookstore of theirs.

And, Wright, before you
even think about filing

for unemployment,

let me remind you that
you were contracted

as a consultant.

Elizabeth, you don'’t have
to do this. Please.

Oh, sweetie,
I already have.

Well, look at the queen bee
presiding over her new kingdom.

I'’m sorry.
What'’d you say?

Nothing.
Just saying hello.

Isn'’t this crazy?

Here, you want one?
I get free refills.

No, I actually prefer
flying coach.

It gives me some insight into
how

the common person thinks.

That'’s usually who we're trying
to connect with, right?

I mean, we'’re not
too interested in that guy.

The real people...
are back there.

I know that you have
a psych degree from Cornell.

I'’m guessing this is
some kind of play to get me

to switch seats with you.

I'’m sorry, sir, I'm gonna have
to ask you to return to your
seat.

No worries.
I'’m sitting next

to a cheerleader from Hofstra
anyway.

Enjoy the rest of your flight
with the one-percenters.

Thank you.

Darren, I'’m home.

Darren?

Darren?

Baby, hey! Uh...

You-- You'’re not
supposed to be here.

What are you doing here?

Don'’t you think a better
question

is who are you doing here?

Just chill, okay?
Let me explain.

Explain? Okay,
this should be good.

Tiffany'’s been going through
a rough time, and I was just

trying to be a friend.

A friend. And it just--
it just happened.

How sweet of you.

I forgot what a sensitive
and giving man you are.

Is that the friend that you
were gonna take to Vermont?

Don'’t be ridiculous.
Wait a minute.

So does this mean that
I'’m not going to Vermont?

It was so nice
to meet you.

Hope we can do this
again sometime.

Get out of my house now.
Get out. Eve...

I don'’t wanna hear anything that
you
have to say, okay? You need to
leave.

This is just
a huge mistake.

Since you don'’t contribute to
the rent or bills or anything,

don'’t worry about
settling up.

I love you.

I just threw up
in my mouth a little bit.

And every second that I look at
you
is making it that much worse.

Okay, okay, why don'’t I just let
you cool off for a little while,

and then
I'’ll call you later.

Don'’t bother.

My boots.

Darren, get out!

"So,
welcome

to the life of a corporate
executive.

Enjoy yourself, but bring your
'’A' game to the meeting today

and every other day.

When I'’m not there, you're me.
Remember that.

I took the liberty of sending
over

some more appropriate attire.

Warmest regards,
Elizabeth."

Evelyn Wright,
welcome to the big time.

This is it. I'’m not
going back to New York.

I'’m just gonna stay
right here.

May I help you?

Evelyn Wright and Matt
Hamilton for Aidan Green.

Hey!

Glad you both
made it safely.

Welcome to Gobble.

It'’s a beautiful building.
Thank you.

I like the scooter.

Oh. Gets great mileage.

This is my project assistant
Matt Hamilton.

Like the pitcher?

The Rangers?

Of course.
Yeah, I love baseball.

Well, let me
show you around.

You don'’t know anything about
baseball, do you? That'’s not
true.

What city do the Rangers
play for? Cincinnati.

It means a lot to me that
you guys got out here so fast.

Like Elizabeth said, we make it
happen
for our clients no matter what.

While you'’re here, you're going
to meet my rainmaker Tino Costa.

Thanks to him, we'’re gearing up
for a major

relaunch of the site in the
first quarter.

Not to add any extra pressure,
but this Christmas Eve party

is our last chance to attract
some serious investor attention,

so it better be
pretty amazing.

Well, lucky for you, "pretty
amazing"

happens to be our specialty.

That should be your slogan.
It'’s pretty good.

Actually,
it'’s "pretty amazing."

Well, I know it'’s
a little last-minute,

but Tino'’s assembled a guest
list of 300 heavy-hitters,

and we'’re going to have it
at the old Hugo Sable estate.

Hugo Sable,
the movie star?

Wait'’ll you see it,
It'’s great.

So I'’m guessing you'll want
some kind of live entertainment.

I'’ll put together a roster
of some available talent.

And then I'’m just seeing
a really solid visual thing,

something that really ties
everything all together.

I got as far as the DJ and a
chocolate
fountain and realized I

needed help.

We can have a chocolate
fountain, too, if you'’d like.

She is good.

Oh, yeah.

Men.

W-W-Wait. Hold up.

You'’re saying that he had
that little tramp in your bed?

She was mostly little,
except for her big, fake...

Yours are more natural.

Thank you, sweetie.

I'’m just giving up on men.

They'’re not even
worth the trouble.

Now, don'’t talk like that.
Not all men are dogs.

Really?

Really.
Really.

Honey, look, you are
way too young and pretty

and smart
to just be giving up.

And I totally agree.

Cheer up. I'’m absolutely certain
things are gonna get better.

Good night.

Good night.
Good night.

I just feel like I wasted
two years of my life.

And I was ready to
put on the white dress

for this guy, you know?

And the craziest part is
that I probably would have

if I hadn'’t have
missed that flight.

Fate can be a powerful
drug, baby girl.

Oh, sweetie.

Why can'’t I find
one nice guy?

Like just one guy who'’s not
gonna wring my heart out

like a ShamWow.

Trust me.
This is for the best.

You were way too good
for that d-bag.

This is a sign.

A sign?

What sign, yield?

You know, maybe it would be
easier for me to find a guy

if I had a job or if I had just
even a shred of self respect.

Stop it. You are the nicest,
smartest, prettiest

and coolest girl
I have ever known.

Preach.
Preach.

The best things
are yet to come for you.

All right?

You'’re just sayin' that
'’cause you have to.

All right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, good!
Next round'’s on me.

Okay, Lila!
Yes, let'’s make another mess.

It'’s gonna perk you right up.
It'’s the holidays, Eve.

Oh, yummy!

So since you'’re holding the
party
at a vintage Hollywood location,

for the theme I was thinking
Hollywood glamour

but rebooted
for the Internet age

with a stylish Christmas
twist, of course.

That'’s great. I love it.

Which brings me to--

Uh, hold on. I'’m sorry.

Sorry. Once second.

Oh, you gotta get me
some copies of these.

Uh, these are from
a girls'’ trip last year.

Matt.
Uh...

Here.

So, um, as I was saying,

we are designing the space to r
eflect

the Golden Age of Los Angeles.

What about
the entertainment?

That'’s the best part.
We just

secured
Diana Degarmo from American Idol

Diana Degarmo?

Unless you would
prefer a DJ.

No, no, no, no. I'’ll tell
you what. I like this very much.

I like the concept,
I like the idea,

and most of all, I like you.

And I'’ll tell you what.

You pull this off, you'’re gonna
get offers from Facebook,

from Google, from Yahoo,

not to mention... Al Kim.

Is he coming?

Yeah. I'’ve got him coming in
from Korea on the 23rd.

Evidently, he wants to find
an American tech company

to invest
a few billion wons in.

Ms. Wright,
I gotta hand it to you.

Excellent work.

Fantastic job.

Thank you.

Save some time for me
on that dance floor, huh?

All right.

My work is done here.

That'’s Tino.

Happy?

Fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks.

Eve. Eve, hold on.

I'’m sorry. I don't know
what happened in there.

I knew that you wanted
the LA account,

but I didn'’t how far you were
willing to go to get it.

We are on the same team.

Really? Are we? Because if you
pull anything like that ever
again,

I will fire you with a smile,
do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

I'’m gonna look at lighting
bids in an hour. Go.

Yes, ma'’am.
Sound just like Elizabeth.

I'’m sorry about what happened
in there. No, no.

It wasn'’t exactly
a Kardashian tape, but--

You seriously like the plan
though? I love the plan.

I want to marry the plan.

And Tino can'’t stop
talking about it.

It'’s probably
the bikini pictures.

He was serious about
getting copies of those.

Why are you so nice?

I built this whole company
out of my parents'’ garage

with five bucks
in my pocket and a dream.

I guess I just know how
to appreciate hard work.

Do you wanna... grab a drink
tonight?

After work?

Is everything
all right?

Yeah, no, it'’s fine. Um...

I should probably work.
We have a long road ahead of us.

Right, so rain check.

Definitely.

Okay. I'’ll see you then.
Okay.

Later.
Bye.

Worst hangover ever.

Great.

I can'’t believe
I'’m about to do this.

Hi. You'’ve reached
Ellen and Wesley.

We'’re not here right now so
leave

a message, and we'’ll call you
back.

Did you get it?
Yeah, I think

so.
I think it'’s off, honey.

Hi, Mom, it'’s me.

Um, I know it'’s still like
a week before Christmas, and...

things just haven'’t really been
going

all that well here for me,

so I was wondering if I could
come spend time with you guys.

Maybe you need some help
in the bookstore,

and I could lend a hand.

Uh, call me. Love you.

They said they can only do
hydrangeas at that quantity.

Well, Aidan specifically
requested asiatic lilies.

What is his deal
with asiatic lilies?

Does he know that'’s
a grandma'’s flower?

Maybe you need to think
outside the flower box.

They'’re a retailer.
They use the

same suppliers as most of their
competitors.

Call them, ask them
to do something about it.

If they don'’t, we drop them
and do it ourselves.

If they say no?

They won'’t.
Anything else?

Catering wants to charge
an additional $18 a head.

Something about the fires.
I don'’t know what that means.

So what'’s the difference
come to?

3,600.

No. Get a manager
on the phone,

put him on hold and then
get me exactly a minute later.

Done.

Evelyn Wright.

Evelyn Wright.

Wow. Sounds so grown up.

Hey. What'’s up?

I was just in the car,
driving to Vermont,

and I wanted to say hi.

There'’s nothing wrong
with that, is there?

Vermont, right.
I'’m kinda busy right now.

Can I call you back in a little
bit, maybe later tonight?

Sure.

Was Cole excited
about the trip?

Oh, yeah. Super excited.

I hope our room
has a hot tub.

Shh. I'’m on the phone.

So I will talk to you
later then.

Drive safe.

Will do.

Sorry about that.

Darren, I told you,
I'’m really busy.

Hello.
Is this the party planner

who'’s insisting on asiatic
lilies?

Yes, it is.
May I ask who'’s speaking?

My name is
Garland McAdams III.

I'’m the customer
relations specialist

who'’s responsible
for problem accounts.

Well, I'’m hardly think
that I'’m a problem account,

although that might change.

You know,
you sound kind of sexy.

Would you mind telling me
what you have on right now?

Excuse me?

I picture you wearing
a smart business suit,

small diamond studded
earrings,

hair down
around your shoulders,

stylish shoes,
but nothing too formal.

Okay, well, first why don'’t you
tell

me what you have on right now.

Ma'’am?

You heard me.

I want to know
what you have on right now.

Well, I don'’t see what--

Because I'’m picturing
a casual look.

You know, brown sweater,
navy jacket, slim fitted pants,

I think you'’re the kind of guy
who wears sneakers

with his suits.

Classic and understated.

Expensive,
but not crazy expensive.

And you try just hard enough
to look like you'’re not trying.

Plus you probably
ride around in one of

those little scooters, too.

Actually, I--
Actually, um, um...

I'’m not wearing anything
right now.

That'’s crazy
'’cause neither am I.

Yup. I'’m just sitting
in my office, supervising,

naked as the day
I was born.

Is that so?

Am I interrupting anything?

No, no. It was just
a wrong number.

Yeah. Me, too.

Crazy, huh?

So...

How are things shaping up?

You'’re gonna be
blown away.

Wow. And she'’s humble.

Knock on wood.

Naw. I'’m sure
that won'’t be necessary.

You'’re gonna do great.

It'’s kinda weird not being in
New York for Christmas.

I was there last year with
my parents on Long Island.

Well, sometimes it'’s good
to be out of your comfort zone.

I am so totally outside
of my comfort zone.

Good.

You should
probably get that.

This is Aidan.

Yeah.

Evelyn!
What are you doing here?

Honey!
Hi, Mom.

Oh! Wesley, get down here!
Look who'’s home!

Honey, what are you--
I thought you were in California

for Christmas with your job.

Didn'’t you get my
messages? Oh. I'’m sorry.

I still haven'’t gotten the hang
of that voice box thingy.

It'’s voice mail, Mom.
Whatever.

The world was a better place
when

all we had was answering
machines.

Wesley, where are you?

So my LA trip got canceled,
and I have some free time.

Ellen, check out--

Butter chops!

I thought you were
in Los Angeles.

I kinda lost my job.

Uh, I have some free time,
so I was thinking if you guys

need help at the bookstore,

I could be your girl.

Are you guys
going somewhere?

We forgot to tell you.

Your father won
a trip to Bermuda!

Bermuda?

Two-week cruise.

He says he wants
to rekindle the flame.

TMI, Mom.

Oh, what?
We have needs, too.

And if we didn'’t,
you wouldn'’t be here.

Right on.

Eww.
Darling!

What?

Honey, what about Darren?

I thought you two
were going to Vermont.

We broke up.

What? Oh, no.
Sweetheart, what happened?

He cheated on me.

No!

I'’m actually okay.

I just kinda wanted to
spend some time at home.

What now?

Well, you know how your mother
always wanted a sewing room.

You guys turned my room
into a sewing room?

Only half.

The other half is your
father'’s treadmill.

It'’s an elliptical.

His doctor says his back
needs strengthening.

We'’ll be strengthening it
this weekend.

You guys, I'’m literally
right here!

Honey, I'’m sorry. Look,

we just thought it looked like
things

were going so well for you.

It is. It was.

We have the pull-out couch.

It'’s okay.
Don'’t worry about it, Dad.

I'’ll go spend a couple days
with Lila in the city.

It'’s not a big deal.

Baby, I'’m so sorry.

Don'’t be.

You guys go have fun.

Not before a big Wright
family hug. Come on.

Bring it in.
Let'’s go.

Yes.

Now, doesn'’t that
feel good?

Yeah.

Okay, so just let me know when
the

lilies arrive.

Evelyn Wright.

I heard from Aidan that things
are progressing very nicely.

No, no, no! That tree
goes ten feet to the left.

Your other left.

Thank you. I'’m sorry.

There'’s so much to do
and so little time.

No need to apologize.
You'’re

doing
exactly what needs to be done.

This party must be
absolutely perfect.

Well, thank you for
giving me this opportunity.

I really appreciate it.

Thank the woman
in the mirror.

She'’s the reason
you'’re there.

Oh, can I call you back
in a minute? Diana just arrived.

Sure. Call me
if you need anything.

But remember,
think perfection.

Consider perfection thought.

Ciao.

Hi.
Hi!

Thank you so much
for being here.

Absolutely.

This is gonna be fun.
Yeah.

And it looks great.

Thank you so much. And, hey,
if you'’re ever in New York,

I would love to make this up
to you somehow.

I just might take you up
on that. Okay.

Oh, Matt, could you show Diane
to her dressing room, please?

Yes, right this way,
Ms. Degarmo.

I'’ll see you in a
little bit. Bye.

What do you think?
I think I

just
saw Diana Degarmo in person.

And I think this is gonna be
the party of a lifetime.

Oh. Thank goodness you'’re not
racking up the pressure.

Have you taken any time for
yourself since you'’ve been here?

I'’ve been eating,
sleeping a little bit,

bathing, occasionally getting
to go to the bathroom.

What do you think about taking a
step back, have a little fun?

Fun? Now?

Well, I'’m the client,
right?

Yes.

So basically you have
to do whatever I say.

I don'’t have to do
whatever you say.

Well, as a client, I am
requesting

that you have some fun.

What are you suggesting?

I got it.

Oh, no.
No, it'’s a good one.

I'’m scared. Two hours, we'll
have you back to all this.

One hour.

You don'’t happen to have
a change of clothes, do you?

Okay.

And up next
we have Aidan Green

lining up for what is surely
to be the most important putt

of his storied career.

Okay, there'’s enough
pressure as it is.

Think you can back off,
Jim Nantz?

Hey, if this doesn'’t work out,
there'’s always caddy school.

I might end up there anyway
if your party doesn'’t work out.

Don'’t you worry about me,
okay? You just focus.

You east coast girls
are so cutthroat.

Just putt.

Oh, yeah.

What'’d I tell ya?

Annoying. My turn.
All right.

You ready for this?
I'’m ready.

I'’m sorry to hear about your
parents. I'’m 30 years old.

I shouldn'’t be concerned
if my 60-year-old parents

wanna hang out with me.

I think you'’re being
a little hard on yourself.

That'’s easy for you to say.

You have it together.

You know what
you'’re doing tomorrow.

Me, I'’m like alone,

and thanks to Elizabeth,
my resume might as well

be in Pig Latin.

Miss that!

Can you stop feeling
sorry for yourself

and let me putt in
peace? Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Oh! Thank you!

Your turn.

All right. You needed this
more than I thought.

Yeah. I'’ll bet you a snow
cone you miss it.

You know, betting on sports is
frowned upon by most companies.

But winning isn'’t.

And snow cones taste so much
better when somebody else buys
it.

Did you just wink at me?
No.

The battle-hardened, poised
Evelyn Wright just winked at me?

I had a bug in my eye.

Was it a winking bug?

Just hit the ball.

All right. Here we go.

That'’s what
I'’m talking about!

Nice, nice.

Wait. I have an idea. Why don'’t
you come work for me?

Lila...

Just a couple days a week.
It'’s not big money,

but a go-getter like yourself
could make a couple hundred

a night, easy.

Or I could just strip.

I'’ll take that as a yes.

Sure. Why not?

Good, okay.
Now, your first assignment

is gonna be painting me
that Christmas mural.

I am your boss now,

and I want you to paint me a
mural

on the front of that window.

I haven'’t signed
any contracts yet.

Come on.
You'’re a talented artist.

I left that part of my life
behind a long time ago.

Maybe you shouldn'’t have.

Maybe you should have been
nurturing your God-given talent

instead of wasting it
inside a cubicle.

Okay, fine.

What the heck?
I'’ll do it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah! Okay.

Move it, girl.
You gonna let me putt?

Be the ball.

Gonna hit you.

You owe me a mural.

It'’s okay.
You'’ll get the next one.

So I turned on some of
my trademark Wright charm,

and the guy had no choice
but to let me on the plane.

And what if
you'’d missed the plane?

Elizabeth
would have fired me,

and I would be playing mini golf
in Astoria right now

with my friend Lila.

So the difference between having
an

amazing, career-defining event

and needing a soup kitchen for
dinner was this last-minute

dash onto a plane?

Technically, although maybe
that'’s a little oversimplified.

I don'’t know. I'm a
believer in pure destiny.

Which is what?

If it'’s meant to be,
it will be.

Somehow, some way.

Simple as that.

That sounds like the
battle cry of a lazy person,

not a successful
executive.

Do you know I played
baseball in college? No.

Full scholarship.
I was headed to the minors.

Wow. What happened?

One day I was out there,
I was up at the plate,

had my bat in my hands
and, uh, it just hit me.

It'’s not where I belonged.

So I left.

In the middle of the game.

The coach had a problem
with that.

I bet.

You hungry?

Wanna grab some lunch?

Here?

A minute ago, you'’re
wagering for snow cones,

now you'’re telling me you can't
handle a pepperoni pizza?

Oh, I can handle
pepperoni pizza.

Prove it.

You'’re on.

All right.

Oh, he'’s so adorable.
He is adorable.

Do you have any kids?

Seven.

Really?

I was very busy
in my early twenties.

Let'’s see there's, uh,

Scott, Jackie,
Darla, Alfalfa...

Not funny.
Buckwheat...

You'’re terrible.

No, in answer
to your question,

I am childless
and alone.

I seriously doubt the latter.

That'’s true.

I recently broke up with
my long-term girlfriend

a couple months ago.

She said she wanted space,
so I gave it to her.

That sucks. I'’m sorry.

At the time I thought
it was for the best,

but lately I'’m-- I'm...

even more sure that it was.

What about you?

Do you have anyone
back in New York?

More drinks?

Uh, yeah, sure.
Sure, thanks.

Oh, I am--

I am so sorry.

Can I help you?

No, no, it'’s okay.
Don'’t worry. Thank you.

I'’m just gonna go to the
bathroom and go clean off.

You can just take it off.
I won'’t mind.

I'’m sure you wouldn't.

What are you doing?

This is crazy.
You have a boyfriend.

He'’s about to propose to you.

"After losing a new client
in California,

Elizabeth Cole has decided to
take

her company in a new direction."

Eve.

Eve, wait up.

Hey.
I'’m running really late.

I'’ll walk with you.

You look, uh, different.

Good different
or bad different?

Good different.
The hair, the makeup.

You look the way you looked
when we first met.

A lot'’s happened.

I got a job.
Bike messenger.

It'’s not great money, but it's
putting takeout on the table.

That'’s great.
I'’m happy for you.

Oh, and before I forget--

for the last month
of utilities and rent.

I'’m sorry for not being
better with that.

And look, I haven'’t had a
second go by since that day

that I haven'’t felt
disgusted with myself.

Good. That makes two of us that
are completely disgusted by you.

I know, and you'’re
totally justified.

There'’s no excuse, and I'm
not trying to make an excuse.

But I know how big
a mistake I made.

And it'’s one that
I will never make again.

What do you want me
to do, Darren? You want me to

take you back into my life again
like nothing happened?

How could I do that?

I'’m never gonna get
that image out of my mind.

I know, but maybe we can
make new images together.

Good ones.

I will literally do anything
to get you back.

Just name it.

Can you go back in time
and not cheat on me?

Can you do that?

I didn'’t think so.

Hi, babe.
Hi.

Just wanted to call
and hear your voice.

See how it was going.

It'’s going.

Yeah? Are you ready
for the party?

I hope so. How'’s Vermont?

It'’s fun. We even got
a room with a hot tub.

That'’s great.

I miss you.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Were you gonna
propose to me up there?

Wow. You don'’t hold back.

I just-- I need to know.

I feel like we'’ve been together
for a while now, and...

you know, we should be ready
to take that next step.

Come on, baby, I mean,
you know I love you.

I love you, too. I just--

I want to know that
we want the same things.

Come on. The water'’s
not getting any warmer.

Uh... Evie, look,
just don'’t think too hard, okay?

Of course we want things.

It'’s just, um--
I gotta run right now.

I-I-I will talk
to you later, okay?

Okay. Bye.

How long have you been
standing there?

Aidan.

Aidan!

Aidan!

Wright! Why aren'’t you
still in your suit?

It'’s only 10:30 out there.

I work better in pajamas.

I trust things
are still going well.

By all accounts, perfectly.

If I didn'’t know better, I'd
say I'’ve created a monster.

What can I say?
I learned from the best.

Excuse me?

I mean, I--
I didn'’t mean it like that.

I don'’t think
that you'’re a monster.

Of course you did.

But I didn'’t get to where
I am today by being a lapdog.

Now, I don'’t say what I'm
about to say with any frequency.

But I promise I'’ll either deny
it,

blame it on wine or both.

But...

I'’m proud of you.

And in 20 years, I expect to
see you exactly where I am.

Wow, that'’s--

Let me finish.

Sorry.

I'’ve thought hard about
your future with my company.

And if you pull this off
the way I know you will,

the west coast
office is yours.

That'’s... really nice of you.

Nice has nothing
to do with it.

It'’s about what's in the
best interests of my company.

And the best thing for
Elizabeth Cole Events

is to have Evelyn Wright
running the show out west.

Elizabeth, it means a lot
to hear you say that.

Well, this business
takes a lot of sacrifice.

But look at me.
This Christmas,

when most people are
sitting at home by the fire,

wiping snot off the faces
of their little ones,

I'’ll be on
the red eye to Aspen,

into the strong,
capable hands of Hans,

the best Swedish masseuse
in the Western Hemisphere.

Clearly, you have it
all figured out.

Well, we all have to decide
which choices are worth it.

I did what was best for me

as I'’m sure you will do
what is best for you.

I don'’t wanna keep you.
You have work to do.

Ciao.

Oh, no. No. "Ciao" is mine.

You can have "auf wiedersehen"
or "sayonara."

Au revoir?

Fine, okay.

You can have "au revoir."

Testing 1, 2, 3.

That is absolutely
beautiful, Eve.

That is one of the most
beautiful

things I have ever seen.

What'’s wrong with him?
He hasn'’t said a word all day.

Oh, well.
Maybe he'’s just nervous.

Well, I don'’t know
what you did,

but you certainly
did a number on him.

I just want to tell him
I'’m sorry.

You know, I'’m the kind of guy
who goes out there,

and I ask people for money.

I mean, anybody can do it. I
happen to be really good at it.

But Aidan, he looks
at a blank computer screen,

and he creates something
totally original, new.

Now, that is a talent
that I envy.

He'’s a good man.

And since you'’ve been here,
I have never seen him happier.

It'’s like he's suddenly excited
in our company again.

Now it'’s all gone.

Good night, Ms. Wright.

Good night, Tino.

Hey, baby.
How you holding up?

Darren, I don'’t think things
are gonna work out between us.

Oh, really?

I don'’t think our hearts
have been in this for a while,

and I think we might be
holding each other back.

Oh. Don'’t let me
get in the way.

I'’ll be home
in a couple days.

and I think it'’d be better
if you were gone by then.

You are
such a good boyfriend.

Thank you.

Finished?
I remember you.

Oh, yeah?
Yes, I do.

You'’re the girl
with the broken heart.

You working here now?

No. I'’m just helping out
for the holidays.

Well, you look a lot happier
than the last time I saw you.

That was a rough night.

Oh, I hope you don'’t
mind me asking,

but I simply adore that mural
in the front window,

and I was wondering if you might
put me in touch with the artist.

Uh, it depends, I guess.

Well, I run a small gallery
in the village.

Could you make sure
and give them this?

Yes, I will.

Many thanks. Cheers.

Bye.

Did you hear that?

Girl, you are going
to the big time now!

Our own little Eve
in an art gallery.

You go, girlfriend!
You go, girlfriend!

Well, Ms. Lonelyheart from the
bar. What can I do for you?

I wanted you to know that I
gave your message to the artist.

And?

Can she come in
and tell you herself?

Certainly.

Here you go.

Oh, no, thank you.

We'’re all adults here, right?

Most of us. What'’s up?

You know how I sort of felt
this should'’ve been my gig.

I figured that, even though
you were so subtle about it.

Without admitting
that I was wrong,

I can say with a high
degree of probability

I couldn'’t have done
any better than this.

What do you want?
Want?

Yeah.
You'’re sucking up.

Let'’s just cut through the BS
What do you want?

There you go again,
sounding just like Elizabeth.

Thank you. That wasn'’t
a compliment, Eve.

You and I might have
our differences,

but I'’ve always respected you
because

you'’re different than she is.

You'’re the nice one. You treated
people like... people.

But ever since
we'’ve been out here--

What?

I think you should take
a good look at yourself

and ask if this is really
who and what you are.

Fantastic party,
Ms. Wright.

I will have you know that
I'’ve already received several

requests for your business card.

Good. I'’m glad that everyone's
having a nice time.

Yeah, well, you'’re a very
lucky lady, you know.

You have a job that
you really love to do.

Which I really love to
do. A little advice.

May I?

Maybe you can spend a little
less time with the centerpieces

and maybe a little more
time with our host.

Yeah? Aidan...

Al Kim is here, and I overheard
him speaking to his assistant,

saying that he thinks
Gobble is about to take off.

I'’ll say hi to him in
a minute. Good.

It'’s gonna be a very
Merry Christmas, you two.

Now if you'’ll excuse me,
I noticed some models

by the punch bowl

that might be interested
in some new hardware,

if you know what I mean.

How do I look?

Don'’t answer that.
I know.

Um, look, I'’m sorry if you
feel like I led you on.

I know how it works.

You wanted a new client,
so you turned on the charm.

That'’s not what this was.

Well, congratulations.
You'’re

gonna make your new
company a lot of money.

That'’s not what I want.

None of this
was what I wanted.

I went to art school.
I wanted to paint.

I did have a boyfriend
when I came here.

But he'’s unemployed
and lazy

and could care less
about any of this, so...

Well, it sounds like
he doesn'’t deserve you.

I'’m the one that
doesn'’t deserve you.

And the truth is that this
is the happiest

I'’ve been in
a really long time,

and it has nothing to do
with the job or the party.

It'’s you.

I want another chance,
and not as your client.

What about your boyfriend?

I called him
last night.

It'’s over.

Is that the truth?

Thank you all so much
for coming out tonight.

I'’d love to give a big shout-
out

to my girl and my sorority
sister

Miss Evelyn Wright!

You are an amazing
party planner.

Thank you so much for
putting this all together.

And I have a little special
surprise for everyone.

Hey, babe, are you out there?

Oh, hey, please welcome up
my honey to the stage,

Mr. Ace Young. Hi!

We'’re gonna do a special
little duet for you all,

so I hope you enjoy it.

Do you remember
this song?

It was playing
when we first met.

Do you wanna dance?

Sure.

You know, there'’s a rule
about that stuff.

You did that on purpose.

Maybe.

This isn'’t right.

What?

I'’m sorry.
I think I need to go.

It'’s midnight on Christmas Eve.

I don'’t belong here.

Right in the middle
of the game, huh?

I'’m sorry.

Matt can take over for me.

Merry Christmas, baby.

Merry Christmas.

How about
another drink?

Hey, what are you doing home?

What are you
still doing here?

I thought
I asked you to leave.

I know, but, um--

Oh, it'’s you.

Excuse me?

It'’s not what you think.

How long has this
been going on?

Look, you'’ve got it
all wrong.

Long enough.

Wow. At least I don'’t feel bad
for

breaking up with you anymore.

Evie, can--
Please, can we talk?

Don'’t. Just don't.

Can you give me
one second, please?

You can take that with you.

No, I don'’t wanna talk to you!
I want you to leave!

Get out.

I'’m sorry.

Hey, it'’s Aidan.

Why don'’t you ever
answer your phone?

You'’re giving a guy a complex.

Um, I heard you
flew back to New York.

Listen, I don'’t know
if you meant what you said,

but I'’m-- I can't get you
out of my head.

Call me back.

Oh, Merry Christmas.

Hey.
Looking out your window?

It'’s gonna be a white
Christmas after all.

I, um, caught Darren with
another

woman in our apartment.

I kicked him out.

You'’re kidding.
On Christmas morning?

Yup. It'’s over.

It wasn'’t really the most
pleasant way to end it, but...

I feel like he did me a favor
by getting caught.

You did what you should'’ve
done a long time ago,

and I'’m proud of you, girl.

For real.

Thanks.

Now you can get
with Mr. Right.

Who? You know who I'’m
talking about.

That beautiful man in LA
who wants to jump your bones.

I abandoned him on the most
important night of his life.

I'’ll be lucky
if he doesn'’t sue me.

Well, I saw the way he looked at
you the first time you two met.

No one'’s ever looked
at me like that.

See you soon, okay?

Okay.

Eve, is everything
okay, love?

Have you ever had an experience
that you thought was real,

but it was just a dream?

Well, not since the 70s.

It'’s Christmas.

Don'’t you have
somewhere else to be?

I don'’t know.

Maybe.

Hey, it'’s, um--

Aidan Green...

who you left heart broken in Los
Angeles when you missed your
plane.

How'’d you find me?

Your friend the bartender.

She also showed me
the painting you made.

Very, very nice.

Thank you.
What are you doing here?

Well, after the party
was a complete disaster--

thank you for missing it,
by the way, and sending

your crazy, crazy boss--

I'’m sorry.
She fired me.

I needed to to get away.

And I love this city in the
winter. It'’s perfect.

You do not
get that in LA.

How impressively impulsive.

Slightly out of character,
but what the heck?

People say amazing things
happen every day in New York.

Something told me
I should be here.

So the party
didn'’t go well, huh?

I don'’t know.
Maybe it'’s for the best.

I didn'’t want to be
the next Facebook anyway.

I want to be
the first Gobble.

I'’m just sorry that we
didn'’t have an opportunity

to work together.

You know, I missed that flight
by about ten seconds.

Seriously?

Ten seconds was the difference
of me being out there with you,

doing the party and probably
getting a big promotion.

I'’m a big believer that things
happen for a reason.

So instead of a big promotion
and a fancy new client,

I was supposed to lose my job,
get a job bartending,

show my art
at a small gallery,

and catch my boyfriend
cheating on me.

Can'’t forget that one.

If it'’s meant to be.

Maybe you were meant
to be a great artist.

Maybe you were
with the wrong guy.

I don'’t suppose I could
interest you in a bite to eat,

maybe a hot cocoa?

A guy that drinks
hot cocoa, huh?

I'’m just-- I am--
I am freezing right now!

I really should'’ve
packed more layers.

Come on, what do you say?

You know,
there'’s a rule about that.

You did that on purpose,
didn'’t you?

Maybe.
