[woman] Alex can't stand hearing Christmas music

before Thanksgiving.

I completely understand. Neither can I.

He just gets nervous.

Starts acting like he's gonna bite somebody's head off.

We can't have that, now, can we, Alex?

Especially 'cause he's so, uh, docile.

[woman] Wow, I think it's just a conspiracy by retailers

to steal our money.

Well, I think what we have to do with Alex is find a way

to soothe him while he's listening to Christmas music

so we replace his feelings of rage.

How do you suggest that we do that?

I suggest you use positive reinforcement.

[Thomas] How can I be positive when Christmas is coming?

Do you know how stressful that is?

Yes, Thomas, I realize

that Christmas is a very stressful time of year.

I don't think you do.

I just think for Howard's sanity it would be best

if you didn't divulge your true feelings around him,

because, you know, dogs are, they're very sensitive.

Yes, and I'm sensitive, too.

So what am I gonna do now that you're moving away?

Well, I'm gonna find you another canine therapist.

I mean, New York is full of reputable ones

who might even be better than me.

No one is better than you.

You can't leave us, Erin.

It's only because of you that my boys don't eat

all of the pillows in my apartment.

If we don't see you once a week,

I might not have a couch anymore.

Jade, I'm so sorry.

I got a job offer that I, I can't turn down and...

And Travis and I made this decision

that a move would be really good for our relationship.

In fact, I'm getting married on Monday at City Hall.

Well, I think your clients should come first.

My boys... will not be the same.

Do you mind changing the station?

It's not even Christmas yet.

[taxi driver] Sorry, lady, they're all pre-programmed.

Hey, babe, um, it's me.

I'm-I'm finally done work and I'm gonna be home probably

in, like, the next five, ten minutes.

And Taylor's running late, so all we have to do is

heat up the turkey and the dressing

and everything'll be ready for Thanksgiving.

Okay, I love you. Bye.

[Erin] Hey, beautiful! Thank you so much.

Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!

[instrumental music]

-[barks] -[door unlocking]

[Taylor] Listen... [Travis] What? Yeah...

[indistinct chatter]

Hi, Mr. G. How are you?

[Travis] Okay, all right, here we go.

[Taylor] Hand me the salt, please?

[Travis] You want more salt, too?

Is papa making the food already?

Even though I told him to wait?

-[barks] -[indistinct chatter]

[Taylor] You just should back up.

-[Travis] Okay. -Taylor?

-[Erin] Travis. -Hey.

[Erin] What are you doing here so early?

Honey, uh, Taylor came over here early to help warm up

the wonderful food that you made.

And it's a good thing she did, too, because otherwise

I probably would've burned everything.

[sighs] Babe, I can handle it.

Oh, Erin, I'm sorry, I didn't think it'd be a problem.

No, I just, I just wanted everything to be perfect.

-That's all. -I know. I'm so sorry, baby.

I thought that you'd be tired from work and I just wanted

to have everything made when you got here.

I know, but making it is, like, the best part.

That's the tradition.

We still have to make the sweet potatoes.

-Sure. -Yeah.

Uh, you guys do that and I'll go get cleaned up.

-I'll be right back. -Mm-hmm.

-Hey. I'm sorry. -No, it's fine, it's fine.

I just was following his lead, I...

-It's all good. Yeah. -Okay.

-Let's cook. -Let's do it.

Okay, there's lots to eat, there's lots to do.

Well, Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday growing up,

'cause my parents had this open-door policy,

'cause every year we'd have over, like, 50 people,

which was kind of nice.

[Travis] Ah, it sounds like you got some great memories.

Yeah, I'm just glad I get to celebrate Thanksgiving

with two of my favorite people.

And now my closest friends are my family for the holidays.

Well, family is everything. The most important people.

Yeah. That's why we're getting married, right?

-Right. -I love you.

All right. I know you're a man of few words. It's fine.

Sorry, I just feel like every time I open my mouth,

I stick my foot in it, so--

Even if it's just to say I love you, back, love you back?

[laughs] That's fine, it's fine. I don't need to hear it.

So, anyway, I was wondering today

why would a tech company want a dog therapist.

Hm, well, it's not just any tech company,

this is a tech company that has a GPS locator.

And they're looking for somebody who's also good

with dogs and people.

Well, they certainly found the right person.

Yup, let me tell you, Erin knows dogs best.

What is that supposed to mean?

Nothing, honey. It's just, I...

It just means that you're really good with dogs.

It's just usually you say that I treat my dog patients

better than I treat you.

Well, you kind of do.

Uh, I mean, like, you're, you're good with dogs...

I mean, you're-you're good with people, too, but like you're--

[Erin] But I'm better with dogs? [Travis] Yeah.

You're really good with dogs.

Well, then why don't I go be with my dog?

-Oh. Come on, Erin. -[Erin] It's okay, it's okay.

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

[sighs] Erin?

[traffic bustling]

Hey.

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.

So are you going to miss this view or what?

Of course I'm gonna miss it.

I mean, New York is in my blood. It's who I am.

-What about you? -Yeah, I'd miss it if I left.

-Travis, you are leaving. -[stammers]

I just meant, uh, I'm not there mentally yet.

Okay, well, you better get there

because we're leaving on Monday night.

Yeah, um...

-Coffee's ready. -Um...

Uh, yeah, coffee sounds great.

Uh, what do you say, Erin?

Yeah, sure.

We'll talk about this later, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

[Travis] Oh, you look gorgeous. [Erin] Oh.

You don't look so bad yourself.

And neither do you.

[instrumental "Wedding March"]

[Erin exhales and chuckles]

-We're really doing this. -Yeah.

[exhales] All right.

[music continues]

You all right?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. All good. I'm fine.

You good, 'cause you look like you're about to,

you know, throw up all over the place.

Well, I am. Uh, but that's a good thing, right?

Because if I didn't have butterflies,

it just wouldn't feel right.

You know, getting hitched is a big moment in a man's life.

-Hitched? -I-I mean, married.

-Uh, it's just a saying. -No, I, I totally understand.

I think you should keep those butterflies flying.

Yeah.

[growling]

Um, why does he hate me so much?

Oh. He's, he's just really protective of me.

Yeah, you'd think that'd stop now that we're getting hitched.

-Married. -Right.

Yeah, um, you know, I think that...

he wants to marry you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm good. Uh...

Well, I-I think this is, uh, this is gonna be our stop.

[instrumental music]

[Travis] Oh, shit. [Erin] Come on, Trav!

[Travis] Uh...

You really are nervous, aren't you?

Yeah.

-Why are you sweating? -[clears throat]

It's like 30 degrees out.

Uh... Can you tell him to stop barking at me, please?

Hey. Hey.

Travis, it's me.

I mean, this should be the most important moment of your life.

We've been waiting to do this for three years.

Yeah. Uh...

Um...

I'm sorry, Erin.

I can't.

You can't what?

[sighs] I can't marry you.

-What? -You know...

We just don't get along

like a married couple should.

What is that supposed to mean?

Well, it just means that, that I don't get from you

what I get from Taylor.

[instrumental music]

Hi.

[Erin] I love you.

Coffee's ready.

Oh, my God.

-[growling] -[Erin] Okay.

[Erin] Ha-ha-ha... Okay.

Okay, you... You and Taylor.

You've been cheating on me with my best friend. Okay.

I'm so sorry, Erin.

How long has this been going on?

-[growling] -Ow! Ow!

How long has this been going on?

-Only six months. -Oh, six months.

You've been doing this behind my back for six months?

-Please don't hate me. -Oh, no, I don't hate you.

I don't... I despise you.

How could you do this to me?

I didn't do this to you. I, I can't explain it.

It just happened. We're in love.

You guys are in love?

Yes.

But...

It's just, I just thought that

I just needed to have one more fling before I got married,

you know, just to get it out of my system, b-but, but then

Taylor and I just started hanging out

and one thing led to another

and, well... here we are.

Why would you lead me on?

Why would you let me put this wedding dress on

when you knew how much it meant to me? Why would you do that?

I know, Erin. I-I'm sorry.

I just didn't have the heart to tell you.

Why are you crying? I'm the one whose life you just destroyed.

No. No. It's not destroyed.

Look at it this way, I saved you

from years of pain and suffering.

You both are really disgusting.

And I never want to see you again.

I'm gonna go back to the house,

and I do not want you to come back until I'm gone!

And you, oh, my God,

you've just done the most disgusting thing

a friend can do to another friend

and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I am. I'm so ashamed.

But I'm in love with him.

[growling]

[Erin] Merry Christmas.

I hope she can forgive us.

[Travis] Yeah, yeah, I think she will

after she hunts us both down and kills us.

[traffic bustling]

Taxi. Taxi.

You know, maybe he was right, maybe...

Maybe I am better with dogs than I am with people.

[man] What, did you get dumped at City Hall?

[Erin] Mind your business!

[echoing] Mind your business!

[instrumental music]

-Hi. -Hi.

Well, welcome to Doggone Hotel.

You've got all this luggage. I'm totally joking.

-You must be Erin. -Yes.

-We've been expecting you. -Oh, you have?

We have. You know what, leave all that there.

-Come over here, follow me. -Just leave it?

Yeah, leave it. I'll take care of it.

Follow me, I'm gonna show you where Carly is.

She's waiting for you. Is this your cute little dog?

-Yes. -Hi.

Hey, Carly. Erin's here.

-Hey. -Oh, my God, hi!

-Erin! -Oh, okay.

It is so nice to finally meet you.

-Yeah, you, too. -Oh, and this is Goliath?

-Oh. -Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy.

He doesn't... Like, hold the butt thing.

Okay. Hold the butt, got it. Okay.

Um, is that the collar?

Yeah, that-that's it.

It's so

not... small.

Yeah, uh, I know, yeah.

You should've seen the last version, though.

-Le-let me show you your office. -I get an office?

You can't do therapy in the bull pen, right?

Oh, wow!

Oh, this is amazing. Yeah, it's so nice.

Okay, and we even have a couch for you and a comfy chair

for all your therapy sessions

and a dog bed and toys for all your canine patients.

Thank you.

Everyone's really excited that you're here

and just so excited to bring their dogs to you.

Okay, um, what if I put, like, a sign-in sheet

on my front door?

-Totally fine. Yeah. -Mi casa su casa.

Yeah. yeah, exactly.

-Is this her? -[Carly] Yes. This is Erin.

My office, ten minutes.

Sure thing, boss.

-Is that Mr. Young? -Yeah. That's your new boss.

[laughs] I tell you, he is way better looking in person.

[Erin] But anyway, he seemed brilliant

and I, I can't wait to get to know him.

But the thing is, I wish he were more brilliant

because if he were, then we wouldn't be on the edge

of losing the entire company, so...

If you're about to lose the company, then why was I hired?

Wouldn't there be a hiring freeze?

I'm hoping you can save the company.

Wait, what?

What is that supposed to mean?

You'll find out.

Mr. Young, Erin, your new employee, is here.

Go on, have a seat.

Try not to run this one off, okay?

Funny.

[door shuts]

So what is it that a...

canine therapist does?

You, oh, you-you don't know?

If I knew I wouldn't have asked.

I help, um, people and dogs learn to live better

through non-verbal communication, emotions,

feelings, I mean, dogs are only happy

if their owners are happy and vice versa.

Sounds very honorable of you.

Yeah, it's a very satisfying job.

Probably more so than mine.

Tell me, why would you move all the way

across the country to work here?

Well, because this is a great opportunity

to bring my canine behavioral studies

into a research-and-development environment.

Okay, but what I'm failing to grasp is,

how's a doggy shrink gonna help me make GPS locators?

Then why would you hire me?

I didn't hire you. My sister did.

Who's your sister?

Carly.

[laughs] I tell you, he is way better looking in person.

Yeah, that's your new boss.

Carly's, Carly's your sister?

She didn't really tell me that, you know?

Hm.

Sounds like there's a lot that you don't know.

You are telling me.

Well, you've come this far.

Might as well go and put you to work.

Yeah, that's great. What would you like me to do?

Follow me.

[instrumental music]

[puppies barking]

Oh, my God. Uh, puppies!

[gasps] Oh, my God, so cute!

Aww! Aww, look at these!

[Martin] I'm gonna need you to get rid of these little monsters

by Christmas.

And if they're not out of here before then,

they're gonna be sent to an animal shelter where they will--

[mumbles]

-Where they will, uh... -[mumbles]

-Don't say that. -Oh, my God, my, my...

[Erin] Don't just talk like that especially in front of them.

[Martin] It's not like they can understand me.

[Erin] Why are they here?

Some incompetent ad agency left them here after a photo shoot.

[Erin] Well, an office is a terrible place for a dog,

especially a puppy. Why don't you guys just take 'em home?

Well, because Martin hates dogs.

I don't hate dogs.

-I just... -Hate them.

I'd really appreciate it if you didn't put words in my mouth.

You know, can you believe that he makes dog collars,

but he hates dogs?

-Why? -It's a long story.

-You hate puppies? -I don't hate dogs of any kind.

I just really don't like to be around them.

[Erin] Well, you really need to get over it.

Say whatever you want, I just need them gone.

They're destroying my carpets, her first job here

is to get rid of all 12 pups before Christmas.

No. That is, that is not why she's here.

Well, perhaps later on you can tell me why she is,

because I don't have a clue.

Why don't you start

by taking the first one?

'Cause I think it'd really help if you

were to face your phobias straight on.

No, that's not gonna happen.

Absolutely not.

Oh, well, I think it is a fantastic idea.

No, not now, or will I ever own another dog.

Why, do you have some sort of

deep-rooted association with dogs?

[Martin] No, no, no, don't start trying to analyze me.

-It's not gonna work. -Oh, why not?

Maybe Erin can help figure out what's wrong with you.

There's nothing wrong with me, besides,

if anybody can get rid of all 12 dogs,

it's gotta be a doggy doctor, right?

No, she just got here. She doesn't even know anybody yet.

[Martin] I have a great idea. You can help her.

Carly, it's fine.

Your brother is my new boss, so...

So I have to do whatever he says, right?

Right. She has until Christmas to get rid of all of them.

Now I'm gonna head back to my office and come up with

more tasks for the doggy doctor to do.

-Canine therapist. -Whatever.

Erin, I'm sorry, this was not part of the plan.

Carly, just out of curiosity,

what was your plan?

Well, we're an animal company, okay,

and we clearly have a problem with animals.

So I thought we could use someone of your expertise.

You know, you are not an animal company.

You're a consumer-product company.

If you were an animal company, you wouldn't have an animal

running the show.

He's not an animal.

He's actually a really good guy.

Yeah, okay, well, anybody who doesn't like dogs

and imprisons 12 puppies in an office is an animal.

Ugh! That's not exactly what happened.

What kind of person doesn't like dogs, especially puppies,

and then makes a business?

Erin, I'm really sorry that I dragged you from Brooklyn

all of the way out here and even worse,

I did it during the holiday season.

Okay, you can blame me.

No, it's fine, it's fine.

It's, it's actually probably the best thing

to have happened to me.

My fiance,he, uh...

You know, he kinda of, like, dumped me on my wedding day,

so I just kinda needed to get away.

I know.

You knew?

Oh. No.

Not at all, I don't know. What do you mean? I... No.

-How would I know? -That would be so weird.

That would be really creepy.

No, I mean, I know 'cause you told me,

but, like, I didn't know before that, you know, so, yeah.

So how are we gonna find 12 really good families

for these little potatoes?

[Carly chuckles]

I actually think I have an idea where we can start.

Yeah. I'll be back.

Little pupsies.

[instrumental music]

Is this it?

[Carly] I think you'll be a lot happier here than in a hotel.

And a lot of us from the company live here, so...

Wait, you live here, too?

Yeah. Actually, I, uh, I own the house.

I bought it after the first dot-com

I worked for went public.

And it's, I mean, fully furnished, so you're-you're set.

How many dot-coms have you worked for?

Nine.

Ka-ching.

[Carly] You know, it's just what you do

when you live in the valley and you're a tech guru like me--

-Wait, so are you a programmer? -Mm-hmm. Yes.

Uh, an engineer, social expert, graphic designer.

Real renaissance woman, Carly. I kinda like that.

But I'm not a doggy therapist. I mean, psychologist.

-Carly. -[barks]

-Canine therapist. I'm sorry. -It's okay.

I, if I can communicate with my dog like you do,

maybe my dog won't eat all my clothes.

Well, I can help you with that.

Oh, I would be indebted to you forever.

I mean, se-seriously, this is the last dress that I own

that doesn't have a hole in it.

I'm so excited for you to move in.

We're gonna be, like, roomies.

I can't wait to hear my echo! Whoa...

Okay, so your apartment has two entrances,

the side one over here and then the back one.

But I'm gonna show you the back one.

It's pretty cool. I think you'll like it. I'm hoping.

Whoa! Okay, you weren't kidding.

All I had to do was pack a suitcase.

[laughs] Everything you need should be here.

And your boxes have all arrived.

And we have, I mean, if you need anything else,

just let me know. But we even have a Christmas tree for you.

Oh. Thank you.

The last renter was kind of a bit of a Christmas freak,

but I don't think you mind that.

She sort of just left everything last week

when she ran off and got married, so...

Well, good for her, hopefully her fiance's

nothing like mine was. Ugh!

Hm. Yeah, I hope not.

Anyway, um, we're having a party tonight.

And we'd really like for you to come.

Really?

Well, you have to come

because it's a party in your honor.

-It's in my honor? -Yeah.

Everyone's coming, so you don't have a choice.

Well, then I guess I'll be there.

Perfect. We'll see you tonight at 7:00 on the back patio.

-Carly? -Mm. Mm-hmm?

Thank you for everything.

Of course. You're part of our family now.

Hm, that means more

than you could possibly imagine.

And, hey, maybe you'll find a new boyfriend while you're here.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I am, I'm here for work.

I'm focusing on, you know, success.

[laughs] I'm not gonna, no...

I mean, if somebody were to be cute, like, in the face

or whatever, I might, um, just, like, say hi, but...

So it... So it's a yeah.

-No. No. -So it's a yes.

No, the door's closed, but it's not, it's not locked.

-It's ajar. -It's open.

Carly, see you later. Get out of here.

Keep that attitude going, girlfriend.

If I was a good canine therapist,

I would say that you guys

are all... hungry?

-Are you hungry? -[puppies yelping]

-Are you starving? -[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

Hi. Ooh, look at you, you're on your third.

-Ooh, yes! -There she is.

[Carly] Everybody, Erin's here!

-[woman] Hi! -Hello. Hi. How are you?

Good to see you.

-This is your new family. -Aww.

[Carly] So we all live here, and also work for DogGone.

It's kind of a live, work together situation.

Okay, well, thank you for welcoming me. I appreciate it.

Hey, Erin, I'm Wally. It's nice to meet you.

I read all about you on your website.

You do some really cool stuff.

Maybe you could help me with my two crazy cats,

Franny and Zooey, they're a little...

Yeah, cats are kind of jerks though. I don't think so.

-[all laughing] -Yeah, give it a go.

Hey, Erin, I'm-I'm Tabitha.

I work in the marketing department

and we can really use your help.

Not only is the product hardly selling, but the dogs won't even

wear it even when we do sell one.

Well, welcome to the family.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

My family has passed on.

It's so nice to be with people that are alive.

-And call them family. -[all laughing]

That's exactly what we were hoping for.

-Amazing. -Anyway...

Let's let loose and have fun, right?

While the rest of Silicon Valley is trying to save the world,

we're just trying to save dogs.

So a toast to Erin, right?

May she bring prosperity to the company, save lots of dogs

and put our initial public offering through the roof.

-And make us all very rich. -Ooh.

-Oh, yeah. -No pressure.

Yup, I believe in you. We believe in you.

-You're gonna do it. -Woof, woof!

[laughing] Sorry.

She's having a little too much fun, huh?

Yeah, I'm just, I'm so tired.

Today was such a big day and then tomorrow's

my first, like, real day, so I just wanna go to bed,

be fresh for tomorrow. Is that okay?

Of course. Yes. Of course it's okay.

Thank you so much for doing all that.

Yeah. Well, we appreciate you.

We're happy you're here.

I-I know you're gonna go in for a hug, I can feel it.

I know. I was waiting for you to call me out. Oh.

Okay, I'm gonna go to the kitchen, I'll take these.

-Ooh. -Yeah, I'll go clean.

Oh, what a good guest.

Thanks, girl.

Excuse me, Erin?

Oh, hi, Mr. Young. I didn't even know you were here.

I came late.

Wasn't planning on coming at all.

Look, I can't eat, I can't sleep

and I'm a complete mess and I...

[sighs] I just want to see if we could talk.

I... Yeah.

Sure, what's up?

What's wrong?

It's, uh, it's the company.

If I don't figure out a way to sell these dog locators,

then I am dead in the water...

so is every single person that works for me.

And I am almost out of money to keep this company afloat.

Wh-what makes you think that I can help you?

-You're a therapist. -I'm a canine therapist.

People are an entirely different--

But you've taken human psychology, right?

Yes, but that is--

Look, the computer geeks that work for me,

they don't understand people, let alone dogs.

And I'm thinking, it might just be you

that is the key to selling this product.

Martin, that is a lot of pressure for my first day.

You didn't come all this way to not be challenged,

am I right?

Look, I would love to help you.

I, I just need you to let me be

completely honest and open with you.

Yes, of course. Open and honest, 100%.

Why is your company called DogGone?

Because when a dog owner

loses their pet, it's gone.

-DogGone. It just makes sense. -It's stupid.

-What? -And it's also really negative.

What dog owner's gonna wanna buy a product

to keep their dog safe if it's called DogGone?

T-the first thing you wanna do

is change the name of my company?

-Yeah. -To what?

To anything other than what you are calling it.

To DogSave, DogFound, Animal Tracker...

I mean, don't you think any of those names

just make much more sense?

Um, I think you might be on to something.

Secondly, can we talk about the dimensions of this collar?

-I know. -The thing is huge.

What, like, dog owner's gonna wanna

put that collar on their dog? And what about little dogs?

That thing is, like, way bigger than them.

I know, but the technology

just doesn't exist yet.

Come on, that's baloney.

You're telling me that you can't

reverse-engineer a cell phone

to fit all the Wi-Fi components

into a collar?

I think your engineers

are much smarter than that.

-You're right. -I know.

So what you're saying is we could take

the cellular and Wi-Fi components of a cell phone,

spread them out over the course of a dog collar.

That wouldn't be more than, what, five inches

and the smallest dog's neck

is six inches, so...

So...

[chuckles]

It could work.

-You are brilliant. -So then do it.

-Brilliant. -Then do it.

I can't get it done before Christmas Eve.

What is with your Christmas Eve deadlines? It's killing me.

My investors have put a cap on my funding.

If I don't show them a workable product

by our meeting on Christmas Eve in New York City,

then they pull my financing.

And then I have no choice

but to declare bankruptcy.

That's terrible.

They would do that to you on Christmas Eve?

Of course they would. I would.

This isn't a charity, it's a business.

And this business isn't making any money.

Not yet.

-I like the way you think. -Well, thank you.

So as your new therapist,

I think one of the first things I'd like to do is tackle

your disdain for dogs head-on.

No, no.

Martin, you can't have

a company for dogs if you don't like them.

And I bet, if you had a positive relationship with a dog,

this company would be much more successful.

Okay, fine. Whatever it takes, right?

All right.

I want you to meet me here

tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock.

What for?

You'll see.

She's good, huh?

Where did you find her?

I have my ways.

W-what's that supposed to mean?

I don't know, brother, you tell me.

[crickets chirping]

Goliath?

[Goliath whining]

Where are you?

[Erin gasps]

Hi, baby.

You guys were supposed to be asleep.

Ah, they're really acting crazy, aren't they?

You doin' okay?

[barking]

[sighs] Mommy was just meeting all her new friends.

You guys have a lot of energy.

It's, like, what time is it? It's, it's like after midnight.

Well...

at least we still have each other, right?

Wanna go to sleep?

Do you wanna stay here with the puppies?

I didn't think so. They're crazy.

Bye, little cutie pies.

[instrumental music]

[tea pot whistling]

Calm down! It's just a teapot.

You guys are lucky you're cute.

What are we gonna do without these guys

when they find their loving families, huh?

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

Can you guys be quiet? I can't hear who's at the door.

Hi.

Erin, please, open the door.

What are you doing here?

[Taylor] I wanna talk with you, please.

Well, I don't wanna talk to you.

[Taylor] Erin, please.

You are not my friend.

I know.

But I still wanna talk to you.

I moved 3000 miles so I can try to make this right.

Why, so you can feel better about yourself

for sleeping with my fiance?

[Taylor] No, no, I just, I want to explain what happened.

I miss you, I love you, and I'm so sorry.

Your friendship is more important to me

than anything with any man, I swear.

I should not be opening up this door right now.

[growling]

I know.

Thank you.

Can we talk?

[pups barking]

-Where did they come from? -My completely insane new boss.

-It's a very long story. -Wait, where are you going?

Uh, some of us have to work for a living, Taylor, so...

You can look after the dogs.

Wait. What? No. No!

I'm not good with dogs.

Well, then you're gonna have to learn.

And also they haven't eaten yet.

So their food is in the closet.

And they're not potty-trained,

so they're just gonna pee and poo

all over the place. So please clean that up.

But there must be, like, eight of them there.

[Erin] There's actually 13 including Goliath,

and I know how much Goliath just loves you.

Oh, oh. Oh.

-All right. Enjoy. -Great.

Isn't karma such a bitch?

But when can we talk?

When I feel like it.

Ugh...

Uh...

Ew.

[sniffs] Goliath!

Hi. Yeah, I'm a cat person.

[Martin] So when are you gonna tell me what's going on?

522, Durrey Street, please.

Yeah.

Uh, okay, this is it. Um, just right here to the left.

This is what? What are we doing here?

We're accomplishing my first task.

We're giving away a dog.

[puppy whining]

Come here, you little baby. Aw, come here.

Erin, is it really necessary for me to be here?

[Martin] I do have more important things to do, like--

[Erin] Martin, you asked me to help you.

So can you please be patient? Hello.

-You must be Erin. -[Erin] Yes, I am!

-And this is my friend, Martin. -Hi.

And this is your new puppy.

-Oh. Okay. -You got her?

Um, aren't you a beaut?

Michelle, come quick! Christmas is here.

Oh, oh. He's beautiful!

-Oh, well, he's yours now. -He's gorgeous. Gorgeous.

Look at him.

Now, you see, I found David and Michelle

through a dog-rescue placement agency

and, unfortunately, they cannot have children.

So they were looking for a dog to complete their family.

So I contacted them, and here we are.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

You have no idea how much this means to us.

Well, along with the dog,

Martin's company's gonna provide you

with a GPS locator,

so you are never gonna lose your puppy.

Thank you so much. You're so kind.

-Oh! -Thank you.

Well, enjoy the pup.

-Merry Christmas. -Goodbye.

-My man. All right. -Merry Christmas.

See you later, buddy.

Merry Christmas.

Well, doesn't that feel good?

-Yeah. -Mm-hmm.

It did.

Well, we're not done yet.

What?

[instrumental music]

[car honking]

-Hi. -Hi, Carly. So good to see you.

[Carly] You, too.

Guys, I want you to meet Amy.

-Pleased to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Hello.

So I met Amy last year

while I was volunteering

at a local homeless shelter.

And Amy has completely turned her life around.

She's been able to get her family out of the shelter

and into their own home.

But they've just been missing one thing.

Kids have always wanted... a dog.

[Carly] Ah, well, we have one for you.

[Martin] All right, well, here he is.

-Aw. -Oh, my. He's pretty.

-[Martin] Your very own puppy. -Thank you.

You got him?

Yeah.

[Erin] Aw, he likes you.

Why are you crying?

The kids have dreamed forever

about having a dog.

And it just, it just always felt like an impossibility

until now.

You three show up and you just

make all of our dreams come true.

Well, it is Christmas, right?

-Yes. -And I'm a canine therapist.

So if you're having any problems with that dog,

you just give me a call any time, okay?

And our company's gonna give you a year's supply of food

and our brand-new GPS animal tracker.

So if this little guy ever runs off,

you'll be able to find him.

-Thank you. -[Erin] No, thank you.

Kids, tell them thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Aw, come here.

Well, we'll see you guys soon, okay?

And make sure you potty-train that little rascal.

We will. I promise.

-[Erin] Enjoy your puppy. -Thank you.

-Let's take him inside, okay? -Thank you.

-[Erin] Bye. -Bye.

-Bye, guys. Merry Christmas. -See you guys later.

What should we name him?

Still hate dogs?

I never said I hate dogs.

Oh, did your heart grow a couple of little sizes?

I'm not the Grinch.

Is it... Hey, everybody, just-just gonna hold still.

Hold on. Hold on. Well, she's, she's coming.

She's coming, guys. Don't pee. Don't poop.

No, no, no. Hold still. She's almost here. Okay. Okay.

There you go. Don't go anywhere. Don't go anywhere, please.

Oh, God. Thank God. Thank God. Okay. Thank God you're home.

[laughs] Oh, my God.

What? Why are you laughing at me?

-Because I forgot you were here. -Can you please take some dogs?

How was your day of looking after 12 puppies?

It was terrible! These little monsters terrorized me all day.

All they do is eat, pee and poop.

It's disgusting.

They're dogs. That's what they do.

[sighs] I get it. You think I deserve this.

-Yeah. You do. -Well, you're right. I do.

What I did was unforgivable.

Which is exactly why I can't forgive you.

No woman should ever take another woman's man away.

Especially her best friend.

I didn't take him, Erin.

How... How is that?

He seduced me. He knew all the buttons to push.

It's clear your buttons are easily pressed.

He manipulated me

into making me believe that, that he loved me.

I'm so stupid.

You're right, you are stupid

and weak.

[instrumental music]

Taylor, y-you've always been very weak.

I just didn't think you'd be this weak

to let Travis control you.

I'm not the only one he controlled.

Then I guess I'm as stupid as you are.

[sighs] What can I do to win your friendship back?

I don't know, Taylor, I'm gonna have to think

long and hard about that one.

I understand.

But please know that I know

that I made a huge mistake.

Your friendship means so much to me.

He must have done something to you

for you to travel 3000 miles.

What did he do?

Erin, Travis has girlfriends all over the country.

There's a reason why he's a traveling businessman.

He wasn't just cheating on you with me,

he was cheating on you with five other women.

What?

Yeah.

How do you know?

I found a secret server

with all of his emails.

There were even pictures.

-No. -Yeah, it was bad.

Taylor...

We're gonna have to get revenge on him.

I think we should, uh, kidnap him

and tie him up and tattoo his forehead

and have it say "I'm a serial cheater, punch me in the face."

Yeah. That, I wanna do that.

[chuckles] What?

-N-no. -No!

-Oh, okay. -Oh, my God, no.

That's so weird. I was joking.

Um, okay. Well, what a waste of time.

I can't believe you'd think I would waste my time

on that slime ball.

Mm.

[sighs]

You know what I might do though if I saw him?

I would give him a piece of my mind.

Maybe a piece of something sharp.

He totally deserves that.

I'm gonna go open up a bottle of wine.

That sounds so good. I could really use a glass.

No, you're gonna take this one out.

-He's gotta do his business. -Oh.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Okay.

What does business entail, exactly?

[instrumental music]

[elevator bell rings]

How's Rudolph? How's he doing?

What happened?

Did Rudolph and the gang, did they kick you out of the sled?

Did Mrs. Kringle make you sleep in the outhouse

again?

Okay. Well, you never did get me that kitchen set.

[sighs] Hello.

Hello, Erin.

So Mr. Young wants everyone

to meet in the conference room in 30 minutes.

-Sure, what's up? -I don't know.

But when he called this morning, he was pretty excited.

Hm. Okay. Thank you.

-I was up all night last night. -Yeah. I know.

-I think I'm onto something big. -I can tell.

-Big! -You look kinda crazy right now.

-You think? Yee. -Just slightly.

-Okay, we gotta bring everyone-- -Wish me luck.

-Yeah, good luck. -I feel good.

[Martin] Perfect. Exactly who I'm looking for.

Good morning, Erin. Everybody, please come in.

Okay, Martin, what is this all about?

This is about change.

Change for the better.

I think I'm going to like this meeting.

I have decided to change the name of our company.

To what?

To... You all ready for this?

New name of our company and our product is going to be,

drum roll, please.

[tapping fingers]

Dog And Found.

What? Y'all don't like it?

Let's face it, I mean, DogGone, it's too doggone negative.

But Dog And Found, it's like Lost And Found.

Excuse me, Martin, but, um, Dog And Found

is not a double entendre

or an alliteration for Lost And Found.

Unfortunately, um, i-it doesn't really work.

Grammatically, that is.

I don't get it. I mean, Dog And Found, Lost And Found.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Sorry, bro. I... It doesn't, it doesn't work.

[Erin] How about you, like, can you not make it

so specific to dogs?

You know, just, just call it what it is.

Animal Tracker.

Kind of sounds like animal cracker.

-I like that. -Yeah, it's simple.

-It's straightforward. -It's easy to remember.

Animal Tracker.

Seems like there's an all-around consensus

and everybody likes Animal Tracker.

But we'll shorten it to Animal Track.

Right. Now for something even more important.

Guys, I was up all night last night

working on some electrical engineering diagrams,

and I found a way to take the cellular and GPS technology

to track our pets and fit it into a collar.

But not just any collar.

A collar small enough to fit a Chihuahua

or, uh, an iguana or a chinchilla,

whatever animal it is that you wanna track.

Now with a new name and a product that actually works,

I can now go back to our investors

and get another round of funding

to not only keep this company open,

but for us to turn a profit.

So I wanna offer each and every one of you

a new round of stock options.

[cheering]

-[Martin] Merry Christmas. -Ooh.

I want us all to reap the rewards

and the profits that I know, guys,

are gonna be very, very big.

Um, is he on something?

I mean, how did he go from Scrooge to Santa overnight?

Um... Uh, here's to Martin.

[applauding]

Martin! Martin! Martin!

[chanting] Martin! Martin! Martin...

[sarcastically] Martin! Martin!

Martin! Martin! Martin!

Martin! Martin! Martin...

So it feels like a really,

mostly one-sided kind of thing.

Excuse me, Erin, can I talk to you for a second?

Sure.

First of all, I wanna say thank you

for everything that you did for me.

Oh, I didn't do anything for you.

Yes. You did.

You were honest with me, you told me the truth.

There's a lot to be said for that.

Oh, jeez.

Well, my mom did teach me that honesty is the best policy.

[chuckles] My mother taught me the same.

Seems like honesty has been hard for me lately.

The value really can bring out the worst in people.

[Erin] I noticed.

You noticed what?

When you claimed my ideas as yours

and you didn't give me any credit.

-What? Yes, I did. -No, you didn't.

But you know what? I get it.

I mean, you're the face of this company

and if any of your employees found out

that your new doggie shrink was coming up with ways

for you to fix your company,

you would look like a fool.

You're right.

I'm sorry. What was that?

Erin, you were right.

It wouldn't be good for business if I look like a fool.

But it does clearly state in your contract

that any ideas you have while working here

is sole propriety of the company.

Hm. That's just great.

Indentured servitude.

Come on, Erin. Don't be so juvenile.

[laughs]

I'm acting juvenile. Okay.

[sighs] I shouldn't have said that.

I am sorry, again.

[sighs]

Let me make it up to you.

-How? -Come to New York with me.

You want me to go to your investor's meeting?

Yes.

I-I'm just, like, a therapist.

Like, I don't know anything about finance.

You don't need to know anything about finance.

Erin, you know people.

You definitely know how to turn around a company.

Okay, you need to calm down, okay?

I have been here for two days,

and the company is not turned around.

And I might even be completely wrong.

No. You're not.

You have instinct.

The most successful people here, they run on instinct.

They didn't know anything about starting up a business

or how to run a company,

but because of an instinct and the intestinal fortitude

to take the risk, start their own company

and become successful.

Erin, you have that.

You wanna use me.

I pay you. I would hardly call that using you. Look...

You really don't have a choice. I'm being nice by asking.

I can't even go

because your puppies need me.

I can get anyone to watch the puppies.

Skylar in accounting would pay me to watch the puppies.

Look, if it's taking you this long to make a decision,

I can make it easy on you.

Either you're going or you're fired.

Oh, when you put it like that...

-Uh, I quit. -What?

-Yeah, I quit. -No, come on.

-I qu-u-uit. -Erin, no, no, no.

Erin, come with me. Say yes. Please.

Oh, my God, I'm so enjoying seeing you grovel.

I'll beg, too.

Say whatever you need me to, just come.

I am so humiliated for you and your future offspring.

-[chuckles] -Ah...

I'll go, okay? Just don't do that.

Just get up. Just don't ever do that again.

...'cause it would have been really awkward to fire you

on your second day.

Well, I guess I'm going home.

No, we're going to New York on business.

This is your home here in Cupertino.

We have a lot of work to do.

We need the entire office working on all cylinders

to get us ready for this meeting.

New graphics, packaging, markup,

I need a working prototype of the collar etcetera.

-Are you excited? -No.

-I am. Is everybody ready? -[applauding]

This is gonna be the best Christmas ever!

Yes!

I think you just set a world record.

For what?

For the quickest rise

to the top in corporate America.

Well, it's this close to being the quickest fall

in corporate America.

Well, I'm glad you're on top.

So am I, I guess.

I'm gonna need your help.

I have to find ten very good families

for these puppies before Christmas.

Do not worry. We're gonna figure it out.

Okay. Come on.

Ooh. We're in first class.

Look at that. First class. Okay.

[mumbles] Oh. Can you take that?

Can you put that up? Thank you.

Hi, buddy. Stay, stay, stay.

[pilot on intercom] Good evening and welcome aboard.

We've been scheduled for departure

and we'll be pushing back

from the gate momentarily.

Have a great flight.

What, are you afraid of flying?

-How could you tell? -Well, don't be.

I mean, the physics of an airplane are impossible.

Just...

just pray the engines work.

Thanks a lot.

It's all right. You're a realist.

-What was that? -I think the engine's failing.

Hey, is it a problem if the wing is on fire?

-What? -I mean, it's not.

But if it were, would it be a problem for you?

Yes, that would be a huge problem.

-It's not on fire, is it? -Come on.

We haven't even left the ground yet.

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

[aircraft droning]

-What was that? -It's called takeoff.

You know, when the plane goes up in the air?

Yes, I know what a takeoff is.

Well, you're enjoying yourself, aren't you?

I just love seeing you squirm.

Why?

'Cause you're kind of a jerk.

Is this what you call therapy?

I-I told you, I'm not a human therapist.

Canine therapy is very different.

I see that.

Wait, why am I a jerk?

Well, you know, you took all of my ideas

and you claimed them as your own

and you didn't give me any credit.

-Yes, I did. -No, you did not.

That was even after we talked about it.

And I'm actually just using me as an example.

I see you do this with Wally, with Tabitha

and especially to Carly.

-I do? -Yes, you do.

I don't mean to.

-Sure you do. -What's that supposed to mean?

It means you belittle people

to make yourself feel better about yourself.

No. I do not. I do a lot of charity.

No. [mumbles] you do charity.

-I do. -Oh, sure.

Okay, so when you're doing this alleged charity,

are you doing it because, uh, you care

or are you doing it to make yourself feel better?

I-I don't know. What's the difference?

There's a very big difference.

Uh, can we...

please just talk about this later?

[Erin] Yeah, sure.

Talking about it now just got over your fear of flying.

We're already at 10,000 feet.

[instrumental music]

Wow.

You're good.

You were just saying all those really mean things to make me

get over my greatest fear in life.

No, I was doing it to tell you

how much of a jerk I think you are.

You know I can't get rid of you

'cause the investors already know you're coming.

Exactly.

You're not only good.

-Smart, too. -I'm going to sleep.

Are you gonna stare at me the whole flight, dog?

[instrumental music]

[Erin] Please help me understand your fear of dogs.

What happened to you as a child?

Look, if you don't talk about it you're never gonna get over it.

I don't have a fear of dogs. I never did.

Yeah, but you don't love them.

So just open up, tell me what happened.

When I was ten...

my family, we had this...

[chuckles]

most beautiful yellow lab.

His name was Coby. He had a big old head.

And he was a family dog.

But the truth is, he, well, he was my dog.

He slept at the foot of my bed, followed me around everywhere.

Coby!

[Martin] And then one day I came home

from school and...

Coby!

Coby, he, he wasn't there.

[Erin] What do you think happened?

[Martin] An animal? A dog-napper.

That's the thing, not knowing. I-I have no idea.

That was the worst Christmas ever.

My parents, they tried to make me feel better

by getting me another puppy,

but nothing could replace Coby.

I knew then that I,

I never wanted to own a dog again.

I didn't wanna feel attached.

I didn't wanna feel any love for one,

because... I never wanted to feel the pain

that I felt when I lost him.

-[flight attendant] Coffee? -Can we have a little bit wine?

-[flight attendant] Okay. -A little bit.

-Yeah. Some coffee. -Maybe two.

[chuckles]

Well, a little night cap.

Peanut.

[instrumental music]

[Martin] It's beautiful, isn't it?

[Erin] Yeah, there's something so magical

about New York during Christmas.

You know, when I was a kid,

I used to wander up and down these streets,

and I'd sneak into buildings

so I could go up to the rooftop and look down.

-Love the view. -You did that?

Sure did.

Did you grow up here?

No, no, I grew up in Connecticut,

but my grandparents, they lived here in the city,

and I'd come up every Friday on the train to see them.

Mm. That's very sweet.

Yeah, they were the best.

Especially after I lost Coby.

What about you? Where did you grow up?

Well, I grew up in Staten Island.

So, so every day I took the ferry to school

and I would look across that skyline and just...

fall in love.

Hey, we should be talking business, okay?

-You're distracting me. -[Martin laughs]

Why don't you prep me, talk to me,

tell me about Mr. Akibota and his team?

I've actually never met the man.

We were brought together through a third-party deal.

You mean, you've never met him in person

or even talked to him on the phone?

[Martin] No. [Erin] Okay.

He believed in the product. Business still worked out.

All right. We're going into this a little bit blind,

but that's okay.

-Have faith. It'll work out. -Okay.

[instrumental music]

-Hi. -Welcome. Enjoy your stay.

-Oh, thank you. -Manny!

-Hello, sir. -It's good to be back.

-Have fun. -Thank you.

-It's beautiful. -I love this city.

Oh, look at you. Penthouse.

Like I said, home away from home.

You know, you never did answer my question.

Excuse me?

How's Rudolph?

-[elevator bell dings] -And that's me.

What? I thought, I thought you were in the penthouse.

No. Penthouse is yours this trip.

You deserve it. Breakfast, 8:00 a.m.

Well, I have all day to talk strategy.

I really enjoyed getting to know you this trip, Erin.

Same here.

Goodnight.

[instrumental music]

[Erin] You have got to be kidding me.

What do you think? You like it?

-Hey, Taylor. -[Taylor] Hey, Erin.

-How are you? -I'm good.

I think things are gonna be okay.

Good. Things are really good here, too.

You know, we've given away

four more dogs to four more homes.

In fact, there was this widower who needed a companion,

and listen to this, a rancher who needed a bird dog.

Isn't that amazing? We only have four to go.

That's great news. You see...

You keep giving, and goodness will come back into your life.

[Taylor on phone] It actually already has.

-Really? -I met Wally.

Wally? Wait, Wally from the office?

[Taylor] Mm-hmm. He's so nice.

He's like the polar opposite of Travis.

I didn't realize you were into computer geeks.

I guess I am now.

Well, did you make sure that

he's not engaged to anybody else?

Because that would be really terrible

if you broke up another relationship.

That's not funny, but I deserve it.

Yeah, you do.

Well, anyway, I was just calling to say hi

and update you on the puppies.

In fact, Carly has another family coming by tomorrow.

-That's great news. -Yeah.

You know, I really like it here.

I might stay in this town for a while.

-All right. Bye. -[Taylor] Bye.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music on TV]

[cell phone vibrating]

Hey, what are you still doing up?

You have a big day tomorrow.

I could say the same to you.

[Erin on phone] Everything that you've worked for

is on the line.

Are you watching the same movie as me?

[Erin] The one where the guy follows the girl

to New York City and then he proposes to her

on the Empire State Building, that one?

[Martin] Yeah, that one.

It's a really good movie. It reminds me of us.

Why?

[Martin] 'Cause we're in New York

and I'm falling in love with you.

What?

I am so sorry.

I, I shouldn't have said that.

No, it's-it's-it's all right.

Look, I should get going. That was very stupid of me.

No, it's-it's okay. It's okay.

I haven't just...

I have never met someone like you before

in my entire life.

You, you challenge me...

but with a grace I've never experienced before.

Erin, you're a very special woman.

I'm, I'm happy to know you.

Ever since I saw you in that elevator that first day, I--

I knew you were Santa Claus, I knew the whole time.

Yeah. You caught me.

That was me.

Why did you dress like that?

Because I take presents to kids at local homeless shelter.

[laughs] S-sorry.

You dress like Santa Claus?

Like, you do that on the regular?

Yeah. Why is that so funny?

You were just, like, the last person on Earth

that I would ever suspect would do such a thing, that's all.

[Martin] Well, I guess you're learning a lot about me,

aren't you?

Yup.

Well, maybe I can learn more about you.

Okay. Hold on.

Hold on, there's someone at the door.

Who is it?

Hi.

Hi.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

-[Goliath whimpers] -Hi, baby.

Good morning.

What?

"Erin, you're an amazing woman.

I can't wait to see what our future holds.

See you downstairs at 8:00 a.m."

[sniffs]

Boop.

[sniffs]

[dramatic music]

Erin?

I didn't expect to see you back in New York so soon.

Did you miss me?

You are such a pig.

How dare you even talk to me?

Erin, I don't wanna lose you again.

-I want you back. -Are-are you joking right now?

You literally cheated on me with my best friend.

And Taylor told me that I'm not the only one.

So you and Taylor are talking again?

Yeah.

Is that crazy

that my bond with Taylor is stronger than it is with you?

But, Erin, we spent three wonderful years together.

-We can make this work again. -What happened?

Did all the other women, did they dump you?

Yeah, after Taylor emailed them all and told them

all about each other, yeah.

Then I guess you got what you deserved.

[intense music]

Erin, please, you gotta believe me.

You're the only one I ever truly loved.

You don't know what love is and

I want you to get your hands off me.

No, but listen, you gotta give me one more chance.

-I know we can make this work. -Get your hands off her!

-I love you. -Let go of me!

-[groans] -Hey, guys!

Please, please, come inside. There's a fight going on.

We need your help.

-[Erin] Hey, hey! -[grunts]

-[Erin] Stop! -Whoa. Whoa, whoa.

-Take it easy. Take that out! -[Erin] Stop it!

-Get off of him. -Who is this guy?

He's the loser who dumped me on my wedding day.

-Who are you? -I'm her boyfriend.

-What? -What?

Officer, I just saved her from this man.

He was helping me.

Unfortunately, you'll have to tell it to the judge.

You should've just talked to him first.

You shouldn't have thrown a punch.

Officer, I was saving her from this man.

-He had his hands all over her. -He had his hands on me.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No. She was attacking me.

-You should be arresting her. -What?

All right, you can tell it to the judge.

-Come on. -[Martin] Officer, no.

Oh, Martin, Martin! We have the meeting.

I'm sorry. You're gonna have to go by yourself.

I believe in you. You could do this.

-No. I believe in you. -Shut up!

-[Travis grunts] -Just follow your instinct.

You've got this. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

[cell phone vibrating]

-Hi. -[Martin] Erin. Thank God.

I am so sorry. I have no idea what came over me.

[Erin on phone] Oh, I-I know what came over you.

What?

Love. You were falling in love with me, Martin Young.

Yes, Erin Thomas, I am falling in love with you.

Now I'll just have to get outta here so that we can be together.

[Erin] What is going on?

They said I could see a judge in a couple of hours,

but that means you have to go to the meeting by yourself.

What? I don't know if I can do this without you.

Yes, you can. You got this.

Remember, instinct. I believe in you.

Okay. I got this.

[man] Martin Young?

Uh, look, I've got to go.

Um, you can do this.

-I'll talk to you later. -Bye.

[woman] Ms. Thompson?

Mr. Akibota will see you now.

Okay. Amazing. Thank you.

[Martin] Erin!

Erin!

Erin, I'm back.

-Martin... -I'm late.

-Martin. -What? What happened?

-Talk to me. -It was all going so well.

I, I had that room. I had that room so focused.

For 20 straight minutes I was clear,

I was concise, but...

But what?

Then their translator came into the room.

-Translator? -Yes.

After you spoke so clear and concise?

Yes.

But they didn't need a translator, right?

I mean, they spoke English, right?

No.

Stop it!

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

-That's hilarious. -You don't get it.

They're not gonna invest in us.

They're changing their investment strategy, they've...

No, they've decided they're gonna focus

from-from retail products to the leisure industry.

-It's okay. -No, it's not okay.

-Yes, it is. It's okay. -Why?

When I got out of jail, I reached out

to a potential investor whom I've known

a very, very long time.

I told him about our product, and he loves it.

He wants to finance everything.

-What? -I told him about you.

I told him about your ideas. I told him all of it.

-He can't wait to meet you. -Really?

He's gonna meet us back in Cupertino.

We're gonna show him everything.

And, sweetheart, it's gonna be

a very, very Merry Christmas.

We did it. We did it. We did it!

[kissing]

-[Erin grunting] -[Martin laughs]

-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas. -Merry Christmas!

-You ready to get out of here? -Yes!

Taxi!

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

It's great, I promise you.

[Erin whistles]

-Hi. -Whoa.

-Give me a hug. -Oh, okay. Oh!

Okay, here, I have a present for you.

Wait, what?

-I didn't get you one. -Open it! Just open it.

'Cause I forgot it was Christmas.

[laughs]

-Sorry. -Are you kidding me?

Open it.

[Carly] It's an album of you and all the puppies.

[Erin] Oh, Carly.

[Carly] Do you like it? [Erin] Oh, Carly...

I love it.

Thank you.

Now... you have to tell me

how you found me.

-Well... -Mm-hmm?

My friend brought her dog to you for therapy.

-Who? -Franny.

[Erin] Yes.

And she was so impressed by you,

I mean, raved about you,

that I had to research you.

And I did, and I stalked you just a tiny bit.

I knew that you would be perfect for my brother.

-Oh. -So I offered you a job.

Carly, what if this all went wrong?

No, but, but it didn't.

Oh, you are such a bad girl.

-I know. I know. -You're a bad girl.

I know, I know. I know.

[Martin] Ho-ho-ho. Merry Christmas, everyone. Ho-ho-ho.

If you would, would you all please join me

in the living room?

-Thank you. -It's okay.

[Carly] He is the right one.

Everyone, please, be comfortable.

I wanna wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

My dear family, I have been on a journey,

a journey of self-realization,

discovery and of the heart.

It's all thanks to one person.

Erin, would you please come join me up here?

[chuckles]

I wanna state this very publicly and clearly.

All of our success is due to this woman.

-Right here. -It's true.

[Martin] It was her idea to change the name of our company.

It's true.

It was Erin's idea to shrink down

the components of our product.

True.

But it was Erin that also had the courage

to go meet with Mr. Akibota

all by herself.

But most importantly, it was Erin

that taught me the importance of humility.

I'm sure you all know that I needed that.

[all laughing]

Now, while I was in the New York City police station,

I met a man, a man that not only loves dogs,

loves tech, loves our company,

but most importantly, he loves us.

And though Mr. Akibota told us no,

I found us a new angel investor.

I'd like everyone to meet Jerry.

-My father. -Your father?

Well, not so fast.

You got two strings attached to this.

Number one, don't lose the family money.

And number two, and I know you'll do this, make me proud.

I will do my best to make you proud

and not squander my inheritance.

So, everyone, this is good news for us all.

We are back in business.

Merry Christmas to you all.

I have Christmas presents for everyone.

-That meant a lot. -I only spoke the truth.

-But there is one more thing. -What's that?

I have decided to adopt the rest of the puppies.

-What? -You taught me.

That I don't have to be afraid anymore.

I don't have to be afraid of the feelings I felt

when I lost Coby.

And I know that life comes with its ups and downs.

That's how you handle the downs that makes you who you are.

So thank you. I love you, Erin.

I love you.
