[music ends]

Hey, uh, Rachel.
We're having an all-hands meeting.

Would you mind joining us in
the conference room, please?

He obviously forgot.

Well, have fun today.

It looks like Adrian needs the executive
staff to stay and work on a new project.

You mean the meeting in
the boardroom right now?

Yes.

But don't worry. I'll fill you in after.

Thanks, Diane. I appreciate that.

[clears throat]

[Adrian] Good morning everybody.

Now, I've got some big news,
and I'm going to need

all of you on board
as quickly as possible.

We're bidding on a villa in Tuscany.

Now, Natalie is going to
go ahead and e-mail out

all the details we have so far,

but the short story is
it's a multi-building,

twenty-acre property that was
originally built in the 1600s.

It's beautiful.

I mean it's practically
a European fantasy.

-Are you going to fly over there?
-Well, we'd love to.

But we're not quite there yet.

The lion's share owner is Richard Bouchard
and he lives in Paris.

And he's going to be in the States
with his family over the holidays.

-We can pitch in person?
-Exactly.

And I've already invited him

to the Grand Lafayette Resort
to hear the pitch.

So, Diane, I'd like to get
together as quickly as possible.

I'm thinking you can put
together an architectural brief.

I don't need all the specifics,

-we just want to impress.
-Okay.

And Natalie, if you could
go ahead and research

-all the building materials over there.
-Sure.

Jerry, it's the same
thing with production.

If you can go ahead and handle logistics,

make it seem like we
know what we're doing.

Ray, give me a couple of prelim drawings,

something to make them
feel warm and snuggly.

-Okay.
-You got it.

Excellent.

Rachel.

If you wouldn't mind coming together with

a big picture marketing sell,
something that makes sense?

Tuscan villa as European fantasy?

Yes, yes.
With an emphasis on getaway or escape.

-Something...
-Romantic?

Romantic!

Let's all keep that word in mind.
Okay. Romantica.

It's Italia, sì?

Grazie. Rrrrr.

All right, guys. Well, that's everything.

So if you want to go ahead
and hunker down, get to work.

This could seriously be
a game changer for us.

Ah, Natalie.

Are we doing casual Mondays now?

It's team building day, Mr. Blackstone.

The bus is leaving in five minutes.

Ahh. Excuse me.

-That was fantastic.
-[laughing, indistinct chattering]

So, is the next group ready to go?

-[all together] Yes!
-Good.

That's the energy you'll need
for what's coming up next.

After lunch, you'll get to meet the dogs
and we'll head out on the trail.

Let's go eat.

[indistinct chattering]

[Rachel] Is she flirting
with him or just sucking up?

She definitely missed the workplace
sexual harassment workshop.

If I had a Masters in Architecture,

I'd like to think I'd
have a little more poise.

So I was thinking maybe
we should share a room

at the Lafayette, like old times.

I don't think so.

I don't want to send the wrong signals.

To the client or to me?

Would you mind passing the salt?

You know, the timing might be better now.

It could be the perfect getaway
for us to talk about what happened.

I'd rather keep the weekend
professional, Diane.

In fact, I'm thinking about
bringing another team member

just to help strengthen the pitch.

[clears throat]

-Oh. Really?
-Uh-huh.

Who?

I don't know.

Maybe Natalie.

Maybe Jerry.

[Tonya] Say hello to some
of your new team members.

Look at you, beauty!

[dog barks happily]

I love dogs.

Yeah, me too.

[Rachel] My apartment doesn't allow pets.

Mine either.

You're a good girl.

So let's get the next group going.

You two make a good team.

And you two will be the other team.

I'll take the lead ahead.

-But first, let's go outside.
-[dog barks]

[dog panting happily]

So the trickiest part is making sure
the lines are straight

so that you get a good tension.

Are you listening, Hudson?

We'll be keeping our eyes
on you, troublemaker!

All right. Looks like
you two are ready to go.

Oh, and remember to keep your hands
on the bar while you're driving.

And do you remember the brakes?

Slow is "easy".

And "Whoa" is stop
and you step on the brakes.

All right. We've got some good listeners!
All right. Here we go!

[dogs barking, yelping]

[“In The Wild” playing]

-Woo hoo!
-[laughing]

♪ In the wild with me ♪

♪ In the wild with me ♪

♪ We can learn to fly ♪

♪ We can touch the sky ♪

♪ Come take a walk in the wild ♪

♪ Take a walk in the wild with me ♪

♪ Come take a walk in the wild ♪

♪ Take a walk in the wild with me ♪

[Rachel] It was fun!
We should go some time.

[Henry] Two of your favorite things,
dogs and winter.

You always loved winter.

It wasn't enough for just a snowman.

-You built a whole snow family.
-[all laugh]

Well, I should go.

I got a new assignment at work.

We are bidding on a Tuscan villa.

Oh, honey that sounds so exciting!

You know your Father and I
honeymooned in Tuscany.

I forgot about that.

Tell me something I can use.
What was it like?

Delicious. Everything was delicious.

And beautiful.

The colors. Oh, the earth tones.

Terra cotta tile, orange bricks.

And the sunshine was like
a fuzzy yellow blanket over everything.

Wow, a fuzzy yellow blanket.

She's right. You could eat the sunshine.

You couldn't eat the sunshine, Henry.
What are you talking about?

I'm telling you, those beams
of light would come through

that old wooden farmhouse and it felt like
life itself was on a platter.

Your father's such a romantic.

Well, I love you guys.
And I can't wait for our ski trip.

[Marilyn] Oh, my gosh.
February seems eons away!

Are you sure you're going to be okay
on your own for Christmas?

Come down here, sweetie.
We'll miss you too much.

I think I'm going to be fine.

People say that, and then when
Christmas Eve rolls around,

it's all waterworks.

Henry, she's trying to be independent.

-I am independent!
-[Henry] Of course, you are, honey.

But we'll pay for your flight
if you change your mind.

I love you.

-Love you too!
-Love you!

Hmm.

Fuzzy yellow blanket.

[Rachel] But don't for a moment
sacrifice the comforts

and conveniences of
the twenty-first century.

Slip seamlessly between
the old world and the new

with invisible ultramodern
technology in your kitchen,

bathrooms, everywhere you live and love.

Preserving original
craftsmanship and design

is our passion, while incorporating
every modern comfort is our joy.

Blackstone Historical Renovations...

Old world charm,
state of the art technology.

Your Tuscan villa, lovingly re-imagined.

You did that all in one night?

It's rough, obviously.

I need you to redo the voice-over
so it's the voice of the company.

I'm so blown away right now.

Mamma Mia, Rachel!

That was awesome.
I'm going to move there. I quit.

I got to be honest.
I really didn't know why we hired you.

Now I get it.

Well, sure, it's great on a surface level,

but I think we need to emphasize

the structural work
that's going into the project.

Hit home that we know what we're doing

when it comes to restoring
the actual buildings.

No, I disagree.

I think that promo was perfect.

It keeps the fantasy front of mind.

Yeah, besides,
there's plenty of technical details

in that boring proposal
that they have to read anyway.

-[Adrian's message notification dings]
-Big news everybody.

Bouchard agreed to meet us
at the Grand Lafayette!

So, Adrian.
Are we driving up there together?

We can take my Porsche.

Actually, I was thinking we might
need something a little bigger.

-Maybe I'll bring another team member.
-Who?

Rachel. Are you free this weekend?

Rachel?

You want me to come to the pitch?

But she doesn't know
anything about buildings.

No, it's perfect.

We have the complete picture.

The technical details
and the romantic vision,

side by side.

That does sound perfect.

Great. So we'll take my SUV on Friday.

Well, that is, unless you want to

drive up by yourself
in your Porsche, Diane.

Thank you.

[humming]

[chuckles] I love the antlers!

My niece gave them to me.

She's kind of like my holiday designer.

-Want to help me put them on the car?
-Definitely.

-I'm getting into the spirit too.
-Well, tis the season.

Are you actually going to
put those on your car?

-Well, I was--
-Let's go.

Oh, no, please. After you, Diane.

You know, I'm so glad we've
got some time in the car together

because I wanted to run something by you.

Oh, yeah? Shoot.

Well, I know that your focus is
on historical renovations...

-It's in the name of the company.
-Right.

Well, I know, but I also
wanted to remind you

that with me here, you can offer more.

I'm listening.

Well, for example, imagine
the doors that could open for us

if you pitched architectural innovation

as well as just renovation.

Well, just renovation built this company.

But I appreciate the hustle.

I just don't want to
see you limit yourself

when you have me to cover those bases
and grow the company in new ways.

Well, I tell you what, when something
with that type of potential comes along,

I will definitely listen to your ideas.

That's great.

I have lots of ideas.

-Wow.
-Yeah. Wow.

[Bellhop] Please allow me
to take your bags.

Oh!

Bonjour, Monsieur. Bonjour, Madame.

Et Mademoiselle.

I am Jean-Luc, at your service.

We are so pleased to greet you,
and to let you know

that you have the honorable distinction

of being the first guests to stay
at the newly restored

Mount Lafayette Grand Resort Hotel!

The first, really?

-Absolument.
-That is really cool.

It is very, very cool indeed,
Mademoiselle.

And you have the entire hotel
to yourselves tonight

as first bookings begin tomorrow.

So, the hotel is empty?

You are the only guests until tomorrow.

Monsieur Blackstone
has the special privilege

because he was the one who restored

this beautiful property
to the way it should be.

We are so grateful.

Diane played a big role in it too.

Ah. And you as well?

I'm just riding their coattails.

I only joined the company a few weeks ago.

[laughs] Of course.

Come. Let me show you how everything
has come alive for the Christmas season.

No, no, no, no. Please,
this way is preferred.

To avoid the service elevator maintenance.

Oh, please tell me the main elevators
have already been done.

I do high heels. I don't do stairs.

Of course, Madame.
It was completed yesterday.

I'm going to come up with you.

You're not going to take
the tour with us, Rachel?

I'm going to check in upstairs first,
if that's okay?

Of course.

Oh, make sure my room is up to
my standards, would you, hon?

-Well, the place looks stunning, Jean-Luc.
-Thank you.

-[Diane] What a special time to be here.
-[Jean-Luc] It is very special indeed.

And just wait until you
see the holiday menu.

It is ridiculous. Over the top.

Magnifique!

Mr. Blackstone is in this corner room,

the second room is next door,
and the third is down the hall.

Thank you.

-Can I check this one?
-Of course.

-Wow!
-[door closes]

Yes! Stairs.

Just a question.
Does the third room have a loft, as well?

No, ma'am. It's all on one level.
Very spacious.

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, I guess you don't get to be beside
your Prince Charming, Diane.

Me, I do heels. And I do stairs.

[cell phone rings]

Hey, Natalie.

Hey!

How's it going up there?

It's beautiful.

How's Diane?

Ugh. Insufferable.

She's on a tour of the hotel with Adrian.

I wanted to join, but I needed
a break from that voice.

[laughs] Had enough on the ride up?

Do you want to know how far she's pushing?

She's trying to get Adrian to change
the concept of his company.

-You're kidding.
-I wish I were.

I wonder if she's trying to
rekindle their old romance?

What?

You know they used to date, right?

No, I had no idea.

It wasn't serious and they
were not a good match.

I shouldn't have mentioned anything.
I just assumed that you knew.

-I assumed everyone knew.
-Right.

He looks uncomfortable
any time she comes around.

I think that he wants to
keep it all professional,

all business
and she's just pressuring him.

And now I suppose you'll be
dining with her this evening?

You got it.

We're the only guests
in the hotel tonight.

What? Really? That place is huge.

And somehow I can't avoid Diane.

Well. Good luck with that.

[chuckles] I got to go.
I'll see you when you get back, okay?

Yeah. I'll see you
when I get back. Bye bye.

Really?

Ms. Carter, you look refreshed.

You look smashing, too, Jean-Luc.

And please call me Rachel.

Bien sur, Ms. Rachel.

Your table for three is ready.

Un verre de vin?

Absolutely.

A "grandy" one?

Grand.

-Grand.
-Excellent.

[chuckles]

-Merci.
-De rien.

The potential that we have is so amazing.

But I didn't want to be
the one to point out

that if they'd just done it my way,
we wouldn't be in this predicament.

-[Adrian's cell phone rings]
-Oh, Sarah's calling. Excuse me.

I want to thank her for all this.

Sarah.

So, tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow.

-The big pitch.
-We're all good at what we do, right?

We?

Are you doing it alone?

Well, I just think that less
is more when it comes

to the "marketing department".

We let the promo
you made speak for itself,

then I'll hit the buyers
with the technical aspect,

and Adrian can close
the deal with his charm.

I'm glad we don't have
to rely on your charm.

More great news!

Sarah's got some more work for us.
And it's right here on the property.

-We can scout it this weekend.
-[Diane] Oh, that's great!

And, you're not going to believe this,
Diane, but you're getting your wish.

Apparently they have cabins
scattered all across

this property and not only do
they want us to restore them

just like we did the hotel,

but they want a quote on three new cabins.

-Wow!
-Full construction,

just like you proposed in the car.

Oh wow. Wow.

Well, talk about quickly
manifesting greatness.

-But, it does change our weekend slightly.
-How so?

I'm going to need you to go over to
the other side of the mountain

first thing tomorrow to scout the cabins.

Get all the details and specs you can.

Now Sarah's contractor Fred,
he's going to come out and meet you.

-Tomorrow morning?
-Uh-huh.

That's the pitch!

Oh, I know. It's a good thing
we brought Rachel along.

I'm going to need all the help I can get.
Especially with you gone.

Me gone?

It's full construction design.
This is exactly what you wanted, Diane!

But Rachel is not
qualified to do this job.

Oh, come on. We'll have your binder.

It's no big deal.

Everything is in there
that they need to know about

building structure and integrity.

Plus this is more of a big
picture meeting anyway.

"Marketing stuff."

Wow!

Nailing two gigs in one day.

Go team!

So, Fred's going to meet
you at 7:30 in the morning.

Jean-Luc has already
arranged a pick up at 6:45.

You'll be back by mid-afternoon.

Great.

[keyboard clacking]

[laptop closes]

I am so in over my head.

Have fun, Diane.

-Oh! Sorry!
-No, it's fine.

At least we're in sync.

Are you okay?

I've never been better.

Let's go to the boardroom.

Good idea.

They should be here any minute.

Fantastic.

Ready to go.

[Adrian breathing heavily]

You know what?
Why don't we go over the details again?

I'm a little nervous.

I mean, Tuscany, right?

[breathing heavily] Tuscany.

Wait. What do I know about Tuscany again?

Well. You know that Natalie
found a great wood supplier

-who can match the age of the villas.
-That's something I know.

And you know how to do
all the nitty-gritty nuts and bolts stuff.

You create magic from nothing.
You're the real deal.

I'm the real deal.

Plus, I heard you can whittle.

Who told you that?

Natalie's got a cool little
wooden pumpkin on her desk

and I asked her about it.

Well her birthday's in
October, so I figured pumpkin.

Hmm.

I whittle sometimes when I'm nervous.

My kingdom for a block
of wood and a knife.

Why? I'm not nervous right now.

I just wish we could focus
on the work, you know.

-Instead of having to do this whole...
-Dog and pony show?

Why would they even consider
an American company?

We've got to be the long shot.

Why?

Look at what you did with this place.
And it's ten times the size of the villas.

Listen, if you go into this comparing
yourself to other companies,

then you've already lost.

Focus on the positive.

All the reasons
you are perfect for the job.

And then none of the reasons you're not.

Clearly somebody was paying attention
during team building day.

[chuckles] No, I was just
playing with the dogs.

[knocking at door]

Oh, here we go.

You are going to kill it.

That's a good thing, right?

Ace it?

Much better option.

Ah, I am sorry to interrupt,
but I have some news.

What is it, Jean-Luc?

It seems that the snow has
been falling and falling.

Your client is not going to
make it to the resort today.

You're kidding?

Oh-ho-ho.

I do not joke about blocked roads.

And, I don't know how to say this, but...

No one is coming to the resort today.

Wait. Just let me get this straight.

Rachel and I are literally the only guests
in a 350-room hotel?

[Rachel] What about Diane? Is she safe?

Oh, yes.

Our driver has confirmed that
he saw her meet with Fred.

But don't worry.
Fred is not just a contractor,

but also an avid outdoorsman.

So, he will definitely keep her safe.

[wind howling]

No! No! No!

This is not happening.

I'm supposed to be snuggled by the fire
with Adrian in a five-star resort,

and not freezing with
a barbarian in a dusty old cabin.

If you want, I'll lend you my parka.

I do not want your parka!

I want to get back to the Lafayette.

Read my lips, The roads are closed.

"The roads are closed."
We made it out here this morning.

Surely we can get back?

Listen, there is nothing I'd like
more than to get away from you.

But we're stuck.

At least we made it to
the Triple Pine cabin

before we got buried by that blizzard.

We have been walking for hours.

Where are we? At the North Pole?

We've been walking for
less than twenty minutes.

-Is there even a bathroom?
-Yeah, sure.

It has an outhouse.

[whimpering] I can't do this.

What are you doing?

Just keep it until we get
this place warmed up.

I'm not going to risk
you getting frostbite.

I have a feeling you're a litigious woman.

Litigious.

That's a big word for a mountain man.

I'm from Pittsburgh, lady.

Whatever.

Mmm.

[Rachel laughs]

[laughs] Excuse me!

Let me guess. We're sitting here?

Ha ha. I love a woman with intuition.

Oh.

I'm starving. What's on the menu?

There must have some restrictions
because of the blizzard?

[clears throat]

Jean-Luc, what's wrong?

-I have to confess.
-Confess?

This weekend has been looming
in my mind for months.

It has been my raison d'être.

I had the staff arrive early for training.

We are at peak readiness.

And now...

There's no one here.

I'm sure the snow will
be cleared up by tomorrow...

Attendez!

J'ai une bonne idée.

My staff will use this weekend
to fine tune their training. Hmm?

So what that we only have the two guests?

You two guests will receive the absolute

top of the line service that is possible.

You will eat like a king and queen,

drink the finest wines,
enjoy every amenity.

This hotel will be your
personal playground,

and we will make it happen.

After all, I pay these people.

They need to be working.

So, let us begin.

What is your heart's
desire out of everything

that is possible in this entire universe?

Coffee?

-Me too.
-Okay.

Coffee fit for the gods!

[Rachel giggles]

Well, it's pretty early.

We'd better come up with
a long list of things to do.

It feels like we're
playing hooky, doesn't it?

I know.

We're supposed to be in the boardroom

sweating our way through a business pitch.
And instead we're...

[French accent]
Eating like a king and queen.

[Rachel laughs]

Oh, Jean-Luc, that's beautiful.

Enjoy.

-Traffic jam at the spa lounge.
-Yeah, you would think that

they would be able to separate
our appointments a little bit?

The nerve!

Serious question.

Am I supposed to eat these
or do I put them on my eyes?

[laughs] Be my guest.

Rachel, Adrian. I'm Patty, one of your
massage therapists today.

I just wanted to let you know that we have
a couple's massage room available that is

the absolute most luxurious
room in the whole spa.

Actually, we're not a couple.

Oh! My mistake. I'm so sorry.

Well, you're still welcome
to enjoy the room.

We can put a silk screen between you
so there's no chance of...

Peeking?

All right. Well in that case, Patty,
bring on the screen.

After you.

[Rachel groans]

[groaning]

Are you relaxed?

It's the best thing that's ever happened.

I've never had a manicure before.

How do you like it?

I am giving serious
consideration to pink pearl?

Listen, it's the holidays.

Red or red are your choices.

Red.

[together] The Wi-Fi's down.

What are we going to do without Wi-Fi?

We might actually have
to talk to each other.

-Oh.
-Monsieur, Mademoiselle.

I apologize but the Wi-Fi,
it has gone kaput.

So I took the liberty of
ordering your favorite foods.

The surveys we filled out.

It was very helpful.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

-You like sardines too?
-Oh, any fish in a can.

-Really?
-Uh-huh.

I thought I was the only one.

Nope.

Come on.

Nope!

Nothing.

All right. We need heat.

There's no kindling.

You can help by gathering
some sticks outside.

[scoffs] Gathering sticks?

What am I, a girl scout?

If you were, we could sure use
those skills right about now.

I'm not gathering sticks.

You want to know what happens to people

who don't gather sticks
once a blizzard hits?

They freeze to death.

Do you want to die, or do
you want to get some sticks?

I want to die!

I find that hard to believe coming from
someone as self-important as you.

I'm self-important?

You are the one who's been bragging about
how well you know these woods.

Yet we're stuck out here
like a couple of tourists.

We've got about half an hour
before our bodies are going

to run out of steam in this cold.

I have to split wood with this axe.

But the fire won't catch without
some sticks to build underneath it.

You know how buildings work, right?

You're an architect, aren't you?

Sticks are our foundation.

Thank you.

Hello?

Rachel? What's going on?
You're not responding to any of my texts?

The Wi-Fi's down and no
one's getting service.

I'm surprised that your call came through.

How are you?

Me? Who cares?

How's everything going with you and Diane?

Okay, so, Diane got sent to the other side
of the mountain to go check out a gig.

And then a blizzard started
and now she can't get back.

So the pitch was just you and Adrian?

No pitch.

Bouchard can't get here either.
We are literally the only guests.

That's crazy!
So what are you doing all day?

Shopping and going to the spa.

Ha! I can't believe it.

And what's that like with Adrian?

Honestly, he's really fun.

Well, I'm glad he can relax a little bit.

I thought he was going to give himself
an aneurysm over this new job.

I just think he really wants this one.

So what happens now?

I guess we just wait out the storm.

Okay. Well, I just called to
see if you got the account,

but I guess everything's on hold.

Thanks for checking in. Bye.

[knock at door]

Adrian!

Fancy meeting you here.

Clearly, I didn't get
the casual dinner memo.

Come in. I'll just be a minute.

[Adrian clears throat]

Wow.

No, seriously.

That dress looks absolutely incredible.

Well, you started it with
that finely tailored suit.

Who would have thought all this pampering
would work up such an appetite?

Shall we?

[door opens]

[door closes]

-It's beautiful.
-It's wonderful.

Madamoiselle, Monsieur.

I would like you to meet the chef
who is responsible for

all the amazing creations
you have been enjoying.

I present Monica DiAngelo,
and this is her staff.

-It's so very nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too.

Thank you for taking such good care of us.

It must be strange to have
two guests instead of...

-A hungry mob?
-[everyone laughs]

It's a pleasure to be
cooking for you tonight.

Your meal will be out shortly.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

I'm officially excited.

Wow!

Thank you.

Lobster at Christmas.

I could get used to this.

It's going to be a rude awakening
to get home

and have to make a meal for myself.

Let's not think about home.

Cheers.

Cheers.

[wolf howling]

You've got to be kidding.

Wait. I'm not finished.

There you go.

Now it's festive.

You know, you could be a little grateful.

[scoffs] Grateful!

You know what? If you hadn't insisted
on meeting me at dawn,

this whole thing would have been canceled

and I'd be sleeping on
600 thread-count sheets tonight.

You think that was my idea?

I was doing Sarah a favor.

No good deed goes unpunished.

You can say that again.

[gags]

I can't eat this.

[English accent] Feel free to
peruse the pantry, your majesty.

Well, there's salt.

Oh.

We could cure a buffalo.

Come on, that was funny.

-Was it?
-We've got food, water, heat.

Trust me, things could be much worse.

I'm supposed to be reconnecting with
my ex-boyfriend right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Aren't you up here for work?

He's also my boss.

[whoops]

That sounds awkward.

That sounds awkward?

That sounds awkward?

Let me tell you what's awkward.

Awkward is being stuck in
a glorified pile of wood

with a complete stranger. That's awkward.

You could ask me something about myself.

What?

I mean, you could ask me something.

Then I wouldn't be a complete stranger.

All right. You win.

Let's see... Fred.

I know.

What brought you here from Pittsburgh?

I don't want to talk about it.

That's it. Tapping out.

Oh, it was so good.

Thank you so much. It was great.

[clears throat]

[Rachel chuckling]

So, tell me something about yourself.

-You grew up in Boston, right?
-No.

My Dad was in the Air Force,
so we moved around a lot.

By the time we got to Boston,
I was almost 20

so it was time for me to move out.

And I really liked it there,

so I didn't join them on the next stop.

Where did they go next?

Ohio.

But they're in Florida now.

Like smart older people do.

Is that where your parents are?

No, they're dumb. They live in Vermont.

[Rachel laughs]

-Is that where you grew up?
-Uh-huh.

Mom was a retired schoolteacher.

Dad's a retired carpenter.

Of course, I think I read
that on the company bio.

Yeah, he did teach me a lot.

I bet.

Is that where you are
going to go for Christmas?

Oh, every year.

Rural Vermont in
the winter screams Christmas.

That's how I feel about Boston.

I like the seasons.
As much as I love to go

visit my parents on the beach...

Oh, so they live right on the water?

Oh, there is a pelican roosting
on their balcony as we speak.

Wow, that has got to be some
impressive poop to clean up.

[laughs] That's what I said.

So you're going down there
for a green Christmas?

No, actually.

We have a plan to meet in
February for a ski trip,

so we're going to do Christmas then.

You don't seem very convinced.

It sounds good when you're
planning it in October,

but in reality, drinking
mulled wine by yourself

on Christmas Eve totally sucks.

And that's your Christmas tradition?

No, not really.

We did it last year because I was working
and couldn't get away.

It was cool because it gave me something
to look forward to in February.

But December limped along?

Well, I was really busy
so I didn't notice as much.

But you know, then when
the actual holiday comes around

and the whole world shuts down,

it feels weird not to be with your family.

My parents and I usually
go somewhere in Vermont

but this year they're staying with me.

You should join us.

-What? Are you serious?
-Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Christmas with my new boss?

Wow. When you put it that
way it sounds awful.

-Never mind.
-No, no, no.

-I...
-No, no, no. It sounds weird and creepy.

- No.
-Just forget I even said it.

I blame the circumstance.

Being all alone together
in this huge hotel.

It's intense.

So you feel it too?

Oh, I feel it.

Do you want to know what I'm
thinking about right now?

Oh. What?

Pie.

What? Were you thinking
about something else?

Chocolate.

Oh!

[Jean-Luc] Oh! Mon dieu.

Ms. Rachel. Monsieur Blackstone.

Are you okay?

Jean-Luc, we're fine.

Speak for yourself.
I'm terrified of the dark!

Oh. Please come with me.
We are replacing you.

Oh. Replacing us?

With whom? I demand to know.

Ah, alors. No, no, no. Not 'replace'.

Ah, we are placing you in another area.

Where are you moving us to?

Why?

Are you afraid?

Noooo!

[everyone laughs]

You should be. Come along. Come.

[owl hooting]

You know, it could be worse.

I seriously doubt that.

I mean, you could be stuck with
someone not so handsome.

This is spectacular.

Your eyes have flecks of green in them.

I never noticed that before.

There is only one thing that I could
think of that would make this day better.

[Jean-Luc] Dessert!

[both] Dessert!

Thank you.

Merci.

Now, Monica, she wants me to
tell you that what we have here

is a peach tart with
a bourbon brown sugar sauce,

and this is a flourless chocolate cake
with a raspberry coulis.

-Bon appetit!
-Merci.

Jean-Luc!

Well, it's official.

This day's perfect.

Is it over? Oh!

You know, we haven't had
our after-dinner drinks yet.

It's good for digestion.

Digestion? I can be convinced.

I'll meet you there.

I just need to freshen up.

Don't mind if I do.

[sighs]

No, no.

You are falling for your boss, you idiot.

Okay. No, no, no. No more! No more!

Why did Rudolph get a bad report card?

Why?

Because he went down in history.

[laughs]

What do you call someone
who is terrified of Santa?

Claustrophobic.

-Okay. That's it.
-That's it. I swear. That's all I got.

[romantic music playing]

Do you want to dance?

Where did you learn all those
terrible Christmas jokes?

My nephew. He's six.

That explains it.

Plus I really just love Christmas.

It feels like we're on an entirely
different planet, doesn't it?

Everything's happened so quickly,

I haven't had a chance to think.

Thinking's overrated.

That's true, although there
are some issues to think about.

I mean, I don't have an issue right now.

I'm having a wonderful time, and frankly,

I haven't been this excited
about anyone in a long time.

It's just the work thing, you know.

You're right.

I'm your boss. And, um, this is bad.

This is not bad.
This is the opposite of bad.

No, it feels like we're
breaking some kind of rule.

I'm fine with being a rule-breaker.

Maybe we should just call it a night.

See you later?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.

[notification beep]

[notification beep]

[notification beep]

Yay, the Wi-Fi's back up.

[knock at door]

Mmm.

Come on. Get dressed.

We're going to have some good
old fashioned, wholesome fun.

Could you hurry up, please?
It is literally boiling in here.

Okay, you crazy person.

I don't know what you've
done with my boss,

but I'm going to need my
cappuccino before I go anywhere.

Sorry.

That's it? Done.

Okay.

That was so much fun.

So much fun. Let me get that for you.

Oh. Thank you.

Oh. Would you like some hot chocolate?

-Please make mine a double.
-Coming right up.

[pouring]

-Just what the doctor ordered.
-Yeah.

Mmm. That is so good.

You certainly earned it.

You are quite the skier.

You know you're not so bad yourself.

Wasn't that an amazing snowfall.

I mean I haven't seen
one like that in years.

I remember snow days as a kid,

but I've never had a grown-up snow day.

Snow weekend.

Snow weekend.

Are you okay?

I'm good. I just...

I really enjoyed dancing
with you last night.

It was an incredibly special night.

When you say "special,"

do you mean cherished and fantastic?

Or unique and not likely to happen again?

Before I answer that question,
I'm going to need you

to put your hot chocolate down.

You couldn't possibly be planning
something diabolical, Mr. Blackstone?

Wow.

Wow is good.

Wow is really, really good.

But you know what? Maybe we should think
about this before we...

-Before we?
-Well, you know.

[knocking]

Excuse me, your lunch is ready.

And also, I must inform you that
the other guests will be arriving soon.

Whoa! Other guests?

Did we give permission for that?

I was not aware that...

Kidding, Jean-Luc. Kidding!

[laughing]

You make a joke.

-We'll see you in the dining room shortly.
-Ah, yes, of course.

So how about it?

One last dinner, all alone?

Whatever you say, boss.

Sorry?

Sounds good. I'm hungry.

[sighs]

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

I got you something at the gift shop.

I was going to save it
for the Christmas party,

but since this is our
"last meal alone" and all that,

I thought why not?

Wow. This is...

This is really thoughtful. Thank you.

You said it's what you
do to calm yourself down.

I could have used it last night.

You couldn't sleep either?

No, I was mesmerized by
the Christmas tree in the courtyard.

Me too. The sky was so clear.

Beautiful, wasn't it?

Sad, too.

Why sad?

I knew the fantasy was over
as soon as the snowfall ended.

[birds chirping]

-You made it. Safe and sound.
-Yeah.

You've got plenty of
time for a hot shower.

Forget it. I'm going to head right back
to the city before I get stuck again.

Suit yourself.

Well, thanks for everything, Fred.

I'm glad we didn't die out there.

I didn't think you were
capable of gratitude.

And I do think your idea
for the cabins works.

I like it.

You know how to reach me.

Just so you know,
I'm a big believer in fantasies.

Are you now?

[shudders]

You will not believe what
happened to me out there!

What a disaster.

How were the cabins, Diane?

I'd hardly call them cabins.
More like shacks in the woods.

I don't know about you two, but I'd like
to get on the road as soon as possible.

Sure, that's fine with me.

Oh. After you.

We will miss you. Our first guests.

[chuckling]

Thank you for taking such good care of us.

You really went above and beyond.

Oh, you truly did.
I'm going to be sure to call Sarah

and tell her what
a magical time this all was.

Ah! Merci.

Now the real work begins.

[all laugh]

All right. Let's go.

-You okay back there?
-I'm fine.

So you've been alone
together the entire weekend?

Twenty-four hours, I'd say.

Not that anyone was counting.

Hmm. Oh, Adrian, I need to tell
you right away that I was

on the phone with Bouchard's assistant
and they have invited us to Vail.

So we can pitch tomorrow
if we fly right out.

Well, that's fantastic news.

-So when did you talk to them?
-Oh, just this morning.

And lucky I had still your passport info
from the last time

since they wanted
to book the flights right away.

And you gave them Rachel's info too?

No, I figured since it's
a two-person pitch now,

Rachel doesn't need to waste
another day traveling around.

And I can just get the thumb drive
with your presentation on it, right?

-Of course.
-Perfect.

Besides, aren't you on
the Christmas party planning committee?

Well, that's coming up Friday.
So you'd better get busy.

"I can just get it on
the thumb drive, right?"

[sighs]

Would you rather have punch
or mulled wine at the Christmas party?

Wine.

How on earth did you get roped into
the party planning committee?

There are only 12
employees at Blackstone.

How did you not get roped in?

I hope they didn't screw up
your presentation.

They just really need to press play.

I don't know why Adrian wanted
me there in the first place.

He's got good instincts.

Yeah, then why is he in Vail with Diane?

She knows how to manipulate him.

-[message notification]
-Oh, no.

Diane is requesting something.

E-mail her back and tell her that
you do not take orders from her.

[message notification]

Oh, now Adrian is emailing me.

I think they wants us
to stay and work late.

Us?

Ah, define us?

Thank you, thank you
everyone for staying late.

And, Ray, I know you're missing
your kid's hockey game

and I feel terrible about it.

Hey, it's okay, Denise is filming it.

We all want to get this account.

Now whatever you need.

The good news is they loved
the video presentation.

And when I say loved,
I mean really loved it.

But they want more technical information
in it, like I had suggested.

Not exactly.

Just let me handle this.

Don't change the original video.

What they want is a second
video that explains

the specs and the technical
with the same style.

They've got a minority investor
who's a real creative type

-and she doesn't look at papers.
-Really eccentric, apparently.

Right. And without her approval,
the deal's a no-go.

Bouchard seems to think with
the video we already have,

it gives us an advantage.

If we could come up
with another one that focuses

on the CAD measurements
and the drawings, well,

that would definitely give us the lead.

And we need an advantage
here because we are clearly

the underdog overseas option.

And let me tell you one thing. There are
plenty of reasons not to go with us.

Okay, boss. Just tell us what you need.

Ray, can you scan your hand
drawing of the fireplace?

But you have the vector version, right?

Yeah, but I want to overlap
your original version

because it has
an organic feel to it more than

the perfect computer lines, you know?

Yeah, yeah. You got it.

Jerry, how's it coming
with the product photos?

Just about there.

I can't find a high resolution sample of
the stone we're going to use.

Which one?

It's called Pale Ironstone?

Try RealWorldMaterials.com.

And fireplace drawing sent, Rachel.

Thank you.

Found it.

You're a genius.

Oh, I know.

[sighs]

Oh!

I don't think caffeine is working anymore.

-Uh-oh.
-But this could be it.

Are you rendering a new one?

I am clicking render right now.

We'd better get this account
or I'm going to be so ticked.

Well, it won't be for lack of trying.

[notification]

The sound of success.

I seriously hope so.

[soft background music]

"A full renovation of this Tuscan retreat

will require expertise in many areas,

and the work will be
undertaken strategically

to make sure that it's livable
throughout the duration.

The main building will be
reinforced from the top to bottom

with period planks
excavated from a nearby farm,

supplemented by lumber from
Florence that matches perfectly."

[background music ends]

[beeping]

That was awesome, Rach.

-I would clap if I wasn't so tired.
-Great.

-You guys go home.
-What about you?

I still need to record the narration.

Go home. I've got this.

-Are you sure?
-Will you be safe?

Please.

Ray's here to protect me.

Go, go, go, go.

[song fades]

Hey! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Here's to a trip to Italy.

Merry Christmas and happy
holidays everybody!

I hope you're enjoying the party.

As you all know, Diane and I
just came back from Vail

where we finished pitching
the Tuscan villa project and...

Did we get it?

-We got it! Whoo!
-[cheering and clapping]

Thank you so much
for everyone's hard work.

Enjoy the party please. All right.

Great job. Great job.

Rachel, Nat, Ray, Jerry, thank you so much
for pulling out all the stops.

Rachel pulled it all together.

She had the vision.

We did all stay up until three am,
so let's not forget that.

I will not soon forget it.

I'm so very grateful
for each and every one of you.

You're welcome, boss.

You fell asleep at 11, Ray.

I'm so happy for you, Adrian.

For us. The company. This is great news.

Let's get some food.

I feel so validated
that I am the one who convinced

Adrian to hire a marketing director.

-I guess my job is safe.
-Mmm!

[laughing, indistinct chattering]

Merry Christmas, Rachel.

Merry Christmas, Diane.

And no hard feelings.

About what?

Oh you know. Adrian.

I don't know what you mean.

Well, I know you must have
thought that you really

connected with Adrian last weekend,

but while we were in Vail we decided
to give things another try.

-Another try?
-Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Adrian and I used to be
an item and then I moved to

New York for a while and
when I came back he asked me

if I wanted to work for him,
strictly work.

And I accepted and that's how it's been.

Until this overnight in Vail.

Oh, really?

It was so romantic.

Well, I just wanted you to know
before you hear it through the grapevine.

That's very thoughtful of you. Thank you.

Of course.

Hey, what's going on? What's wrong?

I think I'm coming down with a cold.

And I don't want to spread it around.
So I'm going to go home. [sniffs]

Text me later.

Come over on Christmas Eve.
There'll be plenty of food.

[Henry] He obviously is an idiot.

Henry, that's not helping.

It is helping.

I want him to be an idiot.

But he's not.

Now who's not helping.

I'll get over it.

We only kissed over a fluke of a weekend.

It's not like we've
been dating for months.

I just didn't see it coming.

Oh, honey, we never see it coming.

Now, you two are acting like this
is normal behavior for a man.

This is not normal.

A man does not act like he
has feelings for a woman

all weekend long, only to
suddenly be hitched up

with someone else two days later.

It just doesn't add up.

Thanks, Dad.

I appreciate you sticking up for me.

Oh, I'm not. I'm sticking up for men.

We might be stupid, but we're not fickle.

No, honey, you're not fickle.
But not all men are as good as you.

Well, I sure miss you guys.

And I wish that we could
be together on Tuesday.

Why, what's Tuesday?

Christmas!

Oh, right.

It's not the same without you, kid.

-We love you, honey.
-I love you too. Bye.

[beep]

[voice message] Hey Rachel, it's Adrian.

I'm leaving you a good
old fashioned voice mail,

because I'm not sure
you're getting my texts.

I just wanted to make sure
that everything's okay.

Natalie says you weren't
feeling well, so, ah...

Anyway, let me know if you need anything.

My mom mailed me about 500 sugar cookies.

I could bring them over? Or chicken soup?

You have my number.

[sighs]

[Marilyn voice message]
Hi, sweetie, just checking in.

Wanted to make sure you're okay.
That's all!

Meddling mother, that's what I do.

Call me back.

[laughing]

So...

What do you call a person
who's afraid of Santa?

I don't know.

Claustrophobic.

[laughing]

Okay. I got to get going.

-Thanks for stopping by.
-Of course.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[door opens and closes]

[Natalie] Oh.

Hey Rach. You've got a package.

[Adrian voiceover] I've been holding onto
your Christmas gift,

but it looks like I'm not
going to see you in person,

so I'm sending you something
I know you'll appreciate.

[TV playing]

[cell phone rings]

Hey, Rachel! How're you doing?

I'm fine, how are you?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I just wanted to call and check in on you
after the Christmas party.

I was...

I'm fine.

I am just calling to say
thank you for the chocolates

and I hope that we can move forward
with a good working relationship.

Okay.

I think that you are
a fantastic guy, obviously,

but I totally understand
and I truly wish you all the best.

Understand what?

Look, I'm cool.

I just read into it more
than you did, and it happens.

It's no big deal.

What's no big deal?

So, onwards and upwards
and I will see you in the new year.

Unless you'd rather find
a new marketing director?

What? No! Absolutely not.
Why would you even think that?

Okay, I'll see you then.

Goodbye, Adrian.

And have a wonderful Christmas.

What?

[Natalie]
Okay, tough girl.

It's Christmas Eve and I know
you're on your own. Please come over!

My family is not that scary, I swear.

It's better than being alone, right?

Not that there's anything wrong with being
alone if that's what you end up doing.

Okay, you know what? I'm hanging up.

Please come over and stop me from eating
an entire tray of sugar cookies.

You're probably doing yoga right now
and getting even skinnier. I hate you.

You know what, don't come over!

But actually do.

Bring wine.

[knock at door]

Rachel, honey. Merry Christmas!

Mom?

Surprise! Merry Christmas, honey.

Dad!

It's Christmas! We miss you, sweetheart.

We tried to put a red bow on that pelican.

It just wasn't the same.

I can't believe you're here!

How did you get flights on Christmas Eve?

Are you kidding?

It's like a tomb at that airport!

People are where they want
to be already, I guess.

Seeing you...

It's the best Christmas gift
that I could've asked for.

I've been kind of lonely.

No kidding!

Your mother's been going crazy,
worrying about you.

No, no, honey.

I know, you're independent and
you can take care of yourself.

We miss you! That's why we're here.

[beep]

-[laughing]
-[knock at door]

Oh, I'll get it.

Is Rachel here?

-It's the idiot.
-Henry, hush.

You must be Adrian.

I can tell I'm really popular around here.

Mom, Dad, this is Adrian.

My boss at my new job.

Yeah, the one who kissed you
and then went off with the blonde.

-Henry!
-Dad!

What?

I'm too old to pretend.

Wait, you think I'm with Diane?

Diane told me herself that
you got back together in Vail.

Nothing happened with her.

Kind of how nothing happened
to us at the resort.

-Everything happened between us.
-That's what I thought, but...

Listen.

Just listen for a second.

I have never met anyone like you, Rachel.

From the first minute
we were alone together,

I realized just how incredible you are.

You talked me down from
one of my panic attacks

without making me feel like a fool.

And you are so talented.

You are. You think that everyone can do
what you do, but they can't.

You understand the big picture.

You understand feelings.

You create magic from nothing.

You're the real deal.

[clears throat]

I got you something.

Really?

It's beautiful.

I made it with the tools you gave me.

I love it.

You truly are one of a kind, Rachel.

I haven't stopped thinking about you
since that moment we said goodbye.

I was so confused
when Diane told me to back off.

And I am so sorry that
she put you through that.

After the Christmas party I thought
I'd blown it and I had no idea why.

Now I know.

If you could have one thing,
anything for Christmas,

what would it be?

You.

I want you.

Merry Christmas, Rachel.

[clearing throat]

Well, take off your coat and stay a while.

I would but my parents are
arriving in town any minute.

We literally never spent
a Christmas Eve apart.

You should go.

He's going to declare
his love and then leave?

You should come with me. Like all of you.

It might be a little cramped,
but we can make it work.

Wait.

I know where we should go.

What a surprise! [laughing]

My first and favorite guests.

Welcome to you and your...

-Family.
-Ah, bon.

Well, Merry Christmas to you all.

Merry Christmas, Jean-Luc.

And to all, a good night.

[laughing]

Enjoy.

Christmas Eve is a very
important tradition

in our family, and I'm just so grateful
to share it with the three of you.

Yes dear, bringing us all together

is just a delightful gift.

Here's to bringing families together.

To family.

To families!

This is a wonderful Christmas, Adrian.

Thank you.

It is, isn't it?

And you want to know why?

It's all because of you.

I love you, Rachel.

I love you.

We need another toast!

Here's to a New Year of new love.

[all] Cheers.

Okay, you have to try the lobster.

[indistinct chattering]

-Happy New Year!
-Happy New Year!

Wait.

Something happened.
Something happened! Tell me.

[gasp] This happened!

Well, this is incredibly unprofessional.

-Hey. How are you?
-But you know what, Adrian?

I give up on you.

And I found myself a man, a real man.

Somebody who knows how to take care of me.

Whatever's best for you.

Ah, happy new year.
