I can smell 'em upstairs.

- Hmm. - Oh hi! You look nice!

Grandma's biscuits, baby.

Yeah.

I hate to eat and run, but I gots to go

Not before giving me some sugar.

Ew.

What do you mean, ew?

How do you think you got here, little man? Huh?

- A stork? - Stork.

Go get some breakfast with your granny.

What's up? I thought you said your sister was coming over.

Yeah. You know Lisa, always late.

Late Lisa.

Yeah. I gotta go.

I'm gonna be late just like her.

Bye, Dalton.

Ma, I can't eat myself. I gotta run too.

Oh, you two work too hard.

This holiday jubilee isn't gonna plan itself.

No, it's not.

Man, all these years later, it's still going strong.

We had some good times there, didn't we?

Sure did.

And when they asked me to run the show this year,

you know I couldn't say no.

Of course you couldn't.

It's gonna be great, too.

I hope so.

They keep cutting my budget,

so we'll be lucky to have one.

Well, I'm here if you need my help, baby.

You coming to help with Dylan is more than enough, Ma.

Like you could keep me from my grandbabies.

I know!

Thank you so much.

- I love you. - Oh, I love you. Love you.

Oh, and you'll see Esta

when she comes from campus later on.

I can't believe the girl is almost outta college.

You and me both.

All right, Ma, I gotta go.

- All right. Be careful. - All right, bubba.

See you later.

Bye, Mom. Love you.

I love you too.

Be good for Granny, okay?

Careful on those roads, baby.

I will.

Alright, Dyl, it's just you and me.

Eat those waffles, and after breakfast, guess what?

We're gonna do a puzzle with Granny.

Oh yes. 1,000 piece.

Great State of Maine.

Oh, yeah, we're gonna start up at Presque Isle.

Then we're gonna go down the coast.

We're gonna go to Portland.

We're gonna go to Worcester Park.

I already have the lobster done.

Looking for the tentacles.

You can find the tentacles.

Then we got the apple orchard.

We got the potato farm.

Listen, I care about the community just as much as you do.

So believe me when I say

that the mixed-use commercial district is a good thing.

It'll bring more revenue to the city and more jobs.

Trust me. It's a win for all.

Ah, you tripping now.

What about the kids?

Unfortunately, we're out of time for today's meeting.

We will table any new concerns at the next town hall.

Have a good holiday season.

If you wanna make this happen,

we gonna have to find a way to make some room in the budget.

We've already made major cuts across the board.

Schools, infrastructure, public safety.

There's nothing else left to cut.

Well, there is this.

Oh!

So what's it gonna be?

I know you wanna get back to your wife's delicious eggnog.

We have a deal or what?

Looks like Christmas came early, gentlemen.

I'm in.

I'll send over the signed counter on Monday.

Yes, sir.

And as always, it's a pleasure doing business with you.

And Merry Christmas.

My man!

Yeah.

Yes.

Whew, man.

I almost thought we was gonna lose that one, bro.

I was scared for a second, but we made it happen.

Yes, sir. I'm just glad it's done.

Now I can officially relax, get outta work mode.

Get ready to spend Christmas with the fam.

You know what I'm talking about?

What about you?

Going down to the Bahamas? See your pops?

I'm not really thinking of that right now, okay?

Come on now, Jay.

What? It's been like two years now.

Dalton.

Hey, all right. I'm not gonna pry.

- Good. - I'm not gonna pry.

Besides, I have bigger issues.

What's that?

So my apartment got flooded this morning.

- What? - Yeah.

And I hope that that's the maintenance man calling

to let me know when it's gonna be ready.

Gotta take this.

All right.

Handle your business, bro.

Hello?

What's up?

You can't be serious.

Well, do you have another unit for me to stay in

until you get this fixed?

Good. When will it be ready?

The day after Christmas?

What am I supposed to do 'til then?

You know what? Nevermind, okay.

I'll get a hotel room at your expense.

Rubbish!

Bro, you good?

My apartment.

They won't have my unit ready

until the day after Christmas.

So you gonna be homeless for Christmas?

Nah, it's fine, man.

I'll get a hotel room or something.

Bro. In a hotel for the holiday?

That's crazy, man.

Look, you can stay with me and my family.

I can't do that, bro.

I insist, bro.

Like I said, you're family.

Work family is still family, all right.

We got plenty of room.

I can't let you go out like that.

Look, bro, I appreciate the offer, okay?

But don't worry about me, man. I'll be fine.

You go spend time with your family.

It's Christmas.

All right.

Well, if you change your mind,

the offer still stands, all right?

Just lemme know.

And Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Handle your business, all right?

Ah, working hard or hardly working?

That depends. Who's asking?

Oh!

Oh gosh.

Huh?

This, huh?

Should go perfectly right?

That's a good combination.

Okay. Yeah.

I'm so glad you volunteered this year, Patricia.

You've been a lifesaver.

Well, I figured it'd be a good way

to get integrated back

into my old little, you know, stomping ground.

I didn't know you were from here.

Oh yeah.

I went to high school here and graduated,

and then went on to college and never came back.

Until now.

Until now.

I gotta take this.

Hey, I'm so glad you called.

I was gonna ask you about the caterer for the Jubilee.

So I was thinking...

I see.

I understand.

Yeah.

Okay.

Roz? What's going on?

Our funding's been cut.

Wait, so does this mean that...

I guess we should start packing all this stuff up.

No.

I'll take it home.

Hi, how can I help you?

Yes, I'll do the blueberry muffin.

Okay. Is that all?

- Yes, please. Thank you. - Okay.

Let's go wash my hands.

Finally.

I'm so sorry.

There was someone sitting here,

but I guess he decided to leave.

You wouldn't happen to want a blueberry muffin, would you?

Oh, girl. That's exactly what I came in here for.

Well, here you go.

It's yours and it's on the house.

Oh, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

No problem. You have a merry Christmas.

You as well.

I believe you're on the wrong seat.

Excuse me?

Is that my muffin?

Your muffin?

The waitress you said that you left.

I went to wash my hands.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Well, look, with the day I've been having,

- I think I deserve my muffin. - Listen, wait, wait,

let's not even talk about the day you had.

Now if you'd excuse me...

Wait, you just...

You gonna take the paper off of my muffin?

You gonna bite into my muffin?

Mm-mm-mm.

You gonna stare me in my eyes while you savor

the goodness, the sweet goodness of my muffin?

You can have that little funky muffin.

You can have that muffin.

That's why you got crumbs on your mouth.

So good.

Merry Christmas.

Reservation.

Hi.

I've been calling all the hotels in town

and you are the last on my list.

Please tell me you have a room available.

That's fine. I understand.

Thank you.

Merry freaking Christmas.

Hey, Dalton.

Does that offer still stand?

See? See? Look at that. Look.

That's a foul.

- That's a foul. - That would've never happened

- when MJ was playing, boy. - I don't know.

Exactly.

You gotta let me come down.

You can't intrude my space

and then they gonna call it a foul.

Exactly. Yeah.

- Let them play basketball- - You know about MJ?

- The way you're- - I talked about the GOAT,

- right? - Supposed to

play basketball.

Hey, man. So this guy who's coming over, right?

He doesn't have any family?

What's up with that?

I mean, he has his pops,

but he said they haven't spoken in years, so...

In years?

You know how that go.

Yeah. That's deep, bro.

Yeah.

I just wish I could help him get back on track, man.

Because at the end of the day, whatever it is,

you know, it's not worth it.

No, I feel you on that.

I feel you on that.

You definitely don't get that time back though.

Right?

That's a tough one.

And look, I know you mean well,

but sometimes you gotta let these things play out

on their own.

Right.

It's just how it is.

Oh, here she come.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

What's up baby? You all right?

Nothing a hot shower won't fix.

Come on, Dylan.

- Let's go read with Granny. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You sure you don't wanna stay with Daddy and the boys?

Yeah!

It's man time.

- Right here. - My man.

Blow it up. Bam.

He trying to crack the knuckle now too

because, you know, boom.

Uncle Pete got bricks for hands!

Hey, Roz, before you go and I come in peace-

Every time you say I come in peace,

I know you're about to do the exact opposite.

I feel attacked by your words right now.

What is it, Tim? I have to get dinner started.

Yeah, well, actually it is about dinner.

Could you put real salt in the chicken this time,

because last time that pink stuff just was not it.

Am I right fellas?

You coming for my chicken?

Well, it's just giving,

oh, what do the kids say? Unseasoned.

- Unseasoned? - Yeah.

You don't need salt anyway

with your blood pressure climbing Mount Everest.

Shots fired.

Yes. I think you look cute today.

Got 'em!

Wow.

Wow.

That was personal.

I feel...

You gonna learn, bro.

Why did she have to bring up my blood pressure?

You see my ring? You gonna learn something.

She knows I'm sensitive about my blood pressure.

You ain't ready for that.

That's the Himalayan.

You gotta put a little extra.

- Once the Himalayan- - We're talking about.

Get the grinder.

Chicken, man.

- Come on. - Sea salt.

- Yours is high too! - You sensitive.

- She ain't lying. - Mine?

- You know yours is high! - The only thing high

- is my bank account. - Anyway.

Those meatballs smell good.

Ooh, thank you, Mama.

And these greens are gonna be good

once I get them all clean.

Yeah, you gotta put some elbow grease into those.

Like my mother did.

- Yes. - Back in the day.

Hey.

Hey, sis.

Hey.

Hold up.

Lisa, you eating a vegetable instead of some dessert?

Who are you?

Roz, what have you done to my daughter?

Oh, look, I would've had a muffin,

but Scrooge stole it right from under me.

Come again?

It's a long story.

Any luck finding an apartment?

Not really.

I mean, I saw a place that I liked,

but the unit is available the day after Christmas so...

- So soon. - Yeah.

So I passed on it, but I saw a condo that I really liked

and it's available in six months, so we'll see.

Yeah.

Well, you know, I gotta be honest, honey.

I'm gonna be sad with both my girls,

you know, moving miles away from me.

- Oh, Ma. - Are you crying?

But look, at least we will be in the same city.

Tweedledee, Tweedledum.

Tweedledee, Tweedledum.

Wait, am I Tweedledum?

Sometimes. Yeah, but I still love you.

I love you.

I'm still gonna be sad, you know?

Mom, you can always move closer to us.

Yeah.

It's a nice thought, honey.

But the only moving I'm be doing at my age is picking up

this remote control,

changing the channel on my television set.

It's a flat screen.

Okay. It's the same thing. Stop.

Oh God.

When I think back to all the ripping

and running I did with your father, God rest his soul,

and my career, raising you two girls.

I'm good.

I'm actually settled.

I'm really happy just doing me.

Yeah.

Doing me.

Wait, doing me?

Yeah, doing me. You know?

- Wait, Mama done found a man. - Yes.

You are silly.

Out of my business.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

When they start getting secretive,

there's always a Miss Shirley or Mr. Willy.

- Okay! - Lurking around.

I still got it going on.

- I told you. - See!

I told you!

Mama got a man!

Stop it!

You all are a mess.

You all are a mess.

Okay, look, look, look,

I don't have time for all this foolishness.

We have dinner to finish.

If you're not gonna help, outta my kitchen, please.

That's fine with me.

I need to get off my feet.

And besides this hair is killing me.

I need to take this wig off, 'cause it hurts.

- All right, Ms. Wig. - Mm-hm.

Okay.

Oh, just pull it back

and put it in a nice ponytail like I used to do.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, some pomade.

Oh.

Can't stand it.

Hey, Mama, I need to take this.

Can you watch the pot for me please?

Honey, do you.

You know I got dinner.

Thank you.

That should do the trick.

Roz, hey, girl.

Hey. Patricia, is this true?

Mm-hm.

Girl, I'm afraid so.

They are trying to tear down the area

where your community center is

and rebuild it with mixed-use commercial real estate.

What do you have?

South Side news alerts on or something?

Well, my sorority sister's an assignment editor

at the local station.

It ran across her desk from an insider at the board.

I heard Eleanor Bradley is the deciding vote.

And she's speeding it up by voting the day after Christmas.

Huh?

Why am I not surprised?

It's one thing to cancel the jubilee,

but does she care nothing about sick children?

See, the proceeds, were supposed

to go to the Wishful Thinking Foundation.

So what about them? Just forget about them, right?

And she's speeding it up

by voting the day after Christmas.

That's crazy.

I'll talk to you later, Patricia.

I'll see you.

Okay, bye-bye.

It's been a while.

Esta?

Esta!

Esta!

Dad!

You know you can't be scaring me like that.

You trying to send me to heaven early?

Just wanna let you know I still got it.

I don't care how old you are,

I can still scare you, little girl.

So you think it's funny, huh?

Oh, it's kind of funny.

You should have saw your face.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so sleepy anyway?

You just got here.

It's been a long day.

Oh, it's been a long day?

You sound like you're a 40-year-old woman.

Well, I am grown.

Oh, now you're grown.

Right.

You not that grown. Not yet.

How was your test?

I know it was finals time and everything.

Oh, well I aced them.

But I know, I know, I'm in control

of my own success or failure.

Exactly.

Mackenzies control their own success and failures.

Good girl.

So what's up with your little boyfriend?

How's Bryan?

Bryan's great.

We're fine.

And actually, I have to go and say hi to the family.

So if you excuse me,

we'll chat later.

I guess we will chat later.

Trying to take my daughter away from me.

No, no. For real.

So I'm standing in line and she says,

"You look like Barack Obama."

I said, "Come on girl. You better stop."

Boy, ain't nobody said you look like no damn Barack Obama.

And I said, "Look, Michelle,

you are making a fool of yourself, so please, hush girl."

And I'm 6"9'.

Well, I mean, in the right shoes.

I'm going to the NBA.

That must be your friend.

Right.

Thank you.

He's right on time too.

I'll be right back guys.

Yes, indeed.

She's lovely. Can I say that?

She is just so effervescent.

Yeah, yeah, I was wondering about that.

Because of "Becoming." I read "Becoming."

Yeah. Yeah. You read that?

Guys, this is my work family, James Pender.

James, this is my real family.

Welcome, James.

Have a seat boss.

This is for you.

I got a seat for you, all right.

You okay, auntie?

Sorry.

We met earlier.

How was my muffin?

Oh, this is Scrooge?

Mm-hm.

Wait, what?

Oh, so I'm Scrooge now?

I am so sorry.

Where are my manners?

Let me go make you a plate.

Thank you. I'm starving.

So there weren't any homeless shelters

available this evening?

Lisa, could you calm down, please?

You know what, brother,

you need to watch the company that you keep

'cause this one right here, he's a muffin thief.

What's so funny?

All this over a $4 muffin.

I thought you were a big girl.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, brother.

It is about the audacity.

It's about the audacity?

Actually, it was 5.69.

Well...

Was it cranberry walnut?

- Blueberry. - Blueberry.

That's not even the good one.

All right, y'all bickering like an old married couple

over a blueberry muffin.

Is that what you telling me?

- Exactly. - You know what?

All I know is

just make sure you don't steal nothing else of mine,

'cause I wanted that sugary goodness.

Are you always this hangry?

- Oh my God, guys. - Hangry?

Can we just relax and enjoy dinner?

Our top story tonight,

South Side Community Center is in fear of closing.

Over to you, Kelly.

Here's what's happening in the community.

Rumors are circulating about plans

to transform South Side into a bustling mixed-use district,

exchanging its humble roots for commercial viability.

The South Side Community Center faces closing

- amid the severe budget cut. - Are you okay?

Let's hope Eleanor Bradley has a change of heart

before the deadline vote.

We'll keep you posted with all the updates.

And as always, I'm Kelly J. Rough, and this is KTLZ.

Are they trying to cancel the Christmas Jubilee?

Can they do that?

If Eleanor Bradley doesn't change her mind, yeah.

Just the city to do something like this.

They only care about capitalism over community.

Yeah, but at what cost?

The South Side Community Center Christmas Jubilee

has been a staple in this community for decades.

I mean, it means so much to the people that live here

and the foundations that they've given to.

This is not cool, man.

You ladies and gentlemen are busting your butt

to make sure this event is special.

Now they just gonna turn their backs on you just like that?

Right. There's gotta be something we can do, right?

Well, they cut my budget this afternoon,

so with no money we're screwed.

There's no catering, no music, no games.

We're done.

No, we are not done, okay?

I don't care if I gotta spend my own money.

I'll cook the food.

Hell, I even wear the Santa Claus outfit.

It is still happening.

Same here. I'm in.

The community deserves this.

- That's right. - Man, I'm in too.

Count us all in. Let's do it.

Exactly.

Just like that. Jubilee is back on, baby.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guys, guys, I am flattered.

But you didn't come here to work.

What about Christmas?

Baby, Christmas is about giving.

And what better way to spend it than this?

Now, not another word, all right?

I want everybody to get a good night's sleep tonight,

because tomorrow we have a what?

A Christmas Jubilee to save!

Yeah!

All right, let's go!

Come on, little mans, come help Grandma clean up.

Really?

You all right?

Yeah.

Hey, I think she likes you.

Now, time is of the essence

so we don't have any of it to waste.

We will be vigilant, we will be resourceful,

and we will be-

Hungry if you don't hurry this up.

What?

Nothing. Just carry on

And we will be winners.

Now, Dalton, I have you down as this year's Santa.

Oh boy.

Esta, you're on cookie duty.

Mom, I have you tasked with the food.

Now, small bites, nothing fancy.

And Pete, I have you and Tim

on breakdown, set up, and cleaning.

What? Why do we get stuck with the heavy lifting?

It's a setup!

Get something light!

Lisa, I have you and James.

Oh, and James?

Yes, James, I have you two on games.

You playing a game.

Sorry I'm late. Traffic.

Oh no, you're right on time.

Everybody, this is-

Patricia?

Huh?

Peter Mackenzie.

You two know each other?

Yeah.

No, we had some history.

Something like that. Yeah.

Okay. Well, Patricia, you know Pete

and here's the rest of the family.

Rest of the family, this is Patricia.

She's been helping me with the jubilee this year.

So anything you need, you just let me know.

Can you help me with the marketing?

I want the community to know this event is going forward,

with or without the state's funding.

You got it!

- Okay. - All right!

All right, Jubilee troops.

Let's get this party started!

Left face, forward march!

Whoa!

Oh my goodness.

I don't think I've ever seen you work that hard.

Yeah.

Shocking myself.

Anything for Roz, though.

- Yes. - Yeah.

Roz is a special woman.

Yeah.

If I recall correctly, you were too.

I heard about your wife.

Oh, she lived an amazing life.

Couldn't have asked for anything more than that. Yeah.

How about yourself?

No.

Never?

No.

I almost got engaged

and then I called it off.

Why'd you do that?

My heart wasn't in it.

Yeah, it's getting late.

I should probably get back to the house.

Yeah.

I should probably leave too.

I have a lot to do on my list.

- Okay. - Thanks to Roz.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Probably gonna need to soak in a hot tub after tonight.

Yeah, just make sure you get home safely.

Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah.

Oh, I should be here tomorrow.

All right.

I'm here.

Yep.

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh man.

Hey, hey.

Happy holidays.

Look, I need you to do me a favor, man.

I need you to locate a William Pender for me.

He's down in the Bahamas.

Yeah. It's kinda important.

Thank you, bro.

Good morning, Dad.

Hey, little girl.

Where are you off to?

Just gonna meet some friends at the mall.

The mall? I thought you were on cookie duty.

What's up with that?

Trust me, I already baked a gazillion yesterday.

Did you now?

Mm-hm.

Okay, what's up with your little boyfriend, Bryan?

I haven't seen him around since you've been back.

Actually, I'm running late.

So I'll see y'all later.

So it's like that?

Oh hey, girl.

Oh, bro.

I feel like I'm working a second job

messing around with your wife.

You know, she got us out here.

We need to have some benefits

for all this work we've been doing.

That's why I'm leaving.

That's my cue.

No, no, no, come on now.

No, no, you deal with that.

I got stuff to do.

Really? You gonna leave?

- Mm-mm, you deal with it. - Are you serious?

That's your sister, baby.

That's your wife, and you married her!

Twice, two times.

First time wasn't enough.

Dare I say good morning?

Oh, I was hoping you wouldn't.

So is it a normal occurrence for you

to always wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

So is waking up on the wrong side

of the bed a normal occurrence for you?

Come on.

You know what, just hurry up

and get something to eat so we can get

to this doggone center.

Uh-huh?

Okay, did I mention there'll be lots of press?

And to top it off, half of the research is going

to the children's hospital

where they can further cancer research,

and the other half is going to make wishes come true

for those same cancer patients

through the Wishful Thinking Foundation.

Now, if that doesn't pull at your heart,

do you even have one?

Thank you. You are doing a great thing.

And I will be on the lookout for the wire.

Okay.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about!

Hey. Whoa.

Peter, I didn't know that you were still here.

Yeah.

I'm just trying to finish up

some decorations last minute before noon.

That way, I could just relax and chill.

Okay. So where's Tim?

You know, your guess is as good as mine.

I guess I need a new partner.

That you do.

He hasn't changed.

Not one bit.

Oh my goodness.

So what are you so excited about?

Oh, okay.

So look, you are looking at someone

who just scored a major sponsorship

with Nolan Brands,

and they are going to cover most of the event!

Girl, you a bad mother!

Gimme some.

- Yes! - The woman!

How'd you make that happen?

Oh, well, I just happen to have the gift of gab.

You always had the gift of gab.

Stop!

So this is really gonna happen?

- Yes. Yes. - Wow.

Congratulations, Patricia.

- That is so nice. - Thank you.

- Come on. Right? - Thank you.

Yes.

Patricia.

Patricia, Patricia.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just...

Did I do something wrong?

No, you didn't do anything wrong.

You're doing everything right.

It's me. It's not you.

It's just, I dunno, it just still feels wrong.

I know it's weird, but it feels like I'm still married.

I mean, yeah.

I'm just a friend. An old friend, right?

Oh, actually, you're more than that.

Would this have anything to do with how we ended?

I mean, I went off to college

on a athletic scholarship halfway across the country.

I didn't think I was ever gonna see you again.

So I kind of gave up on us.

You don't have to explain.

Oh, I know I don't have to explain,

but I think I least owe you that.

What I felt for you was real.

I never thought I'd feel that way again.

And then I met Clara and she was amazing

and fell in love.

We got married, and I mean...

And here I thought that I wasn't good enough for you.

Come on! What?

God no!

I'm sorry you felt that way for all those years.

I'm glad I got a chance to see you again

so I can give you the apology that you deserve.

Ooh. Yeah.

So...

Ooh!

Roz should be here.

And by now it's...

- Right. - I'm gonna go.

Right.

So I'm gonna go, okay?

Okay. Nice. It was good seeing you.

It's been way, way too long.

Yeah, you too.

Yeah.

You know, maybe we should have dinner sometime, like,

but whenever you are ready.

I'm ready.

How about tonight?

Tonight?

I'd like that.

Good.

You have my number right?

Yeah. I got your number.

Stop playing.

I told you I'm the corn hole queen, sweetie.

What you are is lucky.

- Now, watch this. - Mm.

Okay.

I told you I had

to school my brother-in-law a couple years ago.

Now it's your turn.

Whatever.

I just hope those kids enjoy this boring game.

Boring?

Ain't nothing boring about this game.

You need to expand your mind.

Coming from a lady who grew up playing duck-duck-goose

and red light, green light.

I hear you. Watch.

Huh?

You know, jealousy doesn't look good on you.

Are you saying I look good?

Anyway.

Woo!

You see it!

Down with it.

Give a little shuffle with it.

You feel me?

That was a good one. That was a good one.

But seriously though,

our budget for this game is really thin.

So we have to choose between this

and red light, green light.

Kids.

I choose this game. Corn hole.

You know what?

You got a problem with it?

Let's race to it then.

The first person down those poles wins their choice.

Deal?

Wait, you wanna race me?

Oh yeah.

You wanna smoke me?

Oh yeah.

Like a brisket.

Let's go get these biscuits.

Don't say I didn't tell you.

You feel me though?

You ready for this?

You ready for this?

You don't want the smoke, though.

- We'll see how it goes. - Let's go, let's go.

Stretch now.

I don't want you over here complaining,

talking about I didn't stretch good enough.

Get in there.

Whoa, whoa.

Okay. You ready?

Mm-hm, yeah.

- On your mark. - Let's go, let's go.

- Get set. - Okay. Call it.

Go!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, slow down, slow down.

I got you, I got you.

Oh.

Is it me or is it getting a little warm in here?

Oh and you smell like old water and cool spices.

Ooh.

Well, you better get off me before somebody get pregnant.

I'll keep my hands to myself.

Hey, you got some good news for me?

Ah, yeah, I understand.

Thank you for calling.

All right.

Hey, is everything okay?

Yeah, the condo I wanted is just no longer available.

Back to square one.

Oh.

So who's homeless now?

Kidding, okay? I'm just kidding.

It's a joke. Sorry.

Hey, I understand.

I've been there before.

Do you?

Because right now it just feels like everything

that I want is just outta reach.

Even that damn muffin.

Oh, you still on this muffin?

You know what, I gotta figure some things out.

It is freezing, man.

God dang!

So what's been going on with you, bro?

You been looking like somebody stole your bike all damn day.

- Yeah, bro. - Yeah.

I just been thinking a lot, bro.

- I'm thinking, thinking. - Okay.

Tell us something we don't know.

It's about Patricia.

Oh, so that's what this is about.

- Yeah, yeah. - It's always about

a damn girl with this guy, man.

Now, truth be told,

Patricia's holding herself together, man.

- She's still a looker. - Man!

Ooh, she's looking beautiful, bro.

- Yeah. - Little sexy chocolate.

Yes, indeed.

Oh, you trying to get some of that old school,

- light that old flame. - Yeah, light that flame.

Back in the day.

I don't know, bro.

I just, it's been years since my wife died

and I still feel guilty even feeling

that way about somebody.

Am I crazy for that or what?

You not crazy, bro.

But there's no rule book to moving on either.

You can't fault yourself

for having feelings for somebody else.

And that doesn't diminish the feelings

that you already established with your wife either.

That's forever.

That's true.

I can't believe what I'm saying this, but-

Yeah, he's actually sounding intelligent.

Dalton, he actually has a point.

Right.

I mean, I'm the only one with a wife,

you know what I'm saying?

Oh wow.

We must have talked.

Look, the truth is, man,

Claire was a great woman and she was.

But I think she'd want you to be happy.

And if you see something in someone else,

maybe you should explore it.

Right. That's a good point, man.

And you never know,

you might have ran into Patricia for a reason.

Yeah.

But you won't find out

if you keep being stuck in the past.

- That's true, man. - Almost like my feet about

to get stuck to the ground

because it's cold out here, man.

Y'all is tripping.

- But you know what. - What?

I find it funny that I'm the youngest,

but I keep having to give you two relationship advice.

You know what I'm saying?

That means I taught you well then.

- Right. Right. - That's what that means.

- Okay. Yeah. - Take your butt inside, man.

All right, D, man. We'll see you later.

Hey, does Patricia have a sister?

Bruh, can I dip my feet

in the water before you go swimming?

That's on you, man.

I'm just asking about the sister.

Can you do that for me?

Can you do me a solid?

I'll check it out for you, man.

- All right, man. - All right.

Look, you'll be good. It'll work out.

All right.

Crazy.

Hey.

I'm off the clock.

I got you something.

What's this?

Open it.

The blueberry muffin.

The one and only.

I figured since I wasn't being much of a gentleman

the last time,

I'd get you a new one to make up.

Can we start over?

Sure.

Okay.

Good night.

Hey.

Hey, James.

Yeah?

Thank you.

No, really, thank you.

Okay. Yeah, let me go to my room.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Mine is so spacious.

Yeah, it's a nice muffin though.

I'm sure you could enjoy it.

Yeah, it's a really, really big muffin too.

Yeah.

And soft.

You'll love it.

And tasty.

Yeah.

It's really nice.

Very nourishing for the soul.

- And the body. - Yeah.

The bed looks nice and warm.

Yeah.

Okay. You have a good night.

You too.

I must love my family.

I am finally finished.

If I see another chicken wing,

I am gonna absolutely scream.

More chicken?

More chicken.

Ma, you're an angel though.

I couldn't have done this without you.

You either, baby girl.

Well, you know we have your back, Mom.

I do.

I'm still trying to figure out

how you found a sponsor this late in the game.

Then again, I did raise my girls

to turn over every stone until she sees green.

Every stone.

Proud of you, Roz.

Thank you, Ma.

I love you.

I love you too, baby.

- Boom. - Boo-yah.

So what did you get for Dalton?

Come on, tell the truth.

Ooh, I wanna know!

A car detailing service.

Yeah.

That is not a Christmas gift, Roz.

My car stays clean. His car stays clean.

It's very practical.

You are my practical daughter.

- Yes. - I will give you that.

- Yes. - All right, baby.

What did you get for...

I'm still thinking.

Who is that this time of night?

I don't know.

But here, here.

We gotta get some weapons.

- Okay. - Baby girl, right here.

Thank you.

Well, go ahead, Roz.

But, Ma...

- Okay. - I taught you

to be courageous.

Go ahead.

Go on, Mama.

Okay, Esta?

Yeah.

Go ahead, honey.

- Go ahead. - I'm scared!

Don't get scared. Don't be scared.

I raised you to be strong and brave.

- Got your back! - Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Right.

Just cooking!

It's Patricia!

- Hi! - Is this a bad time?

No, no, no.

- Come on, Esta. - Come on in.

Let's give them some privacy.

No, no, no, no, no. You're fine.

Everyone needs to hear this too.

Oh. Oh.

Well, you're scaring me.

What is it?

It turns out that Nolan Brands is playing a major part

in this multi-use development.

And being that my connect's boss is good friends

with Eleanor Bradley,

they don't wanna ruffle any feathers,

you know, considering that she could possibly be running

for mayor in the next election.

Sounds like a lot of politics to me.

Yeah.

I'm afraid so.

Ms. Bradley is only concerned with the golden prize.

Like this development could bring a lot of revenue

to the city and that would look good on her part.

So after all this time and effort,

they're just now considering this?

And we're less than 48 hours away from the event.

So what aren't you saying, Patricia?

Well, Nolan Brand is going

to pull the sponsorship offer.

- Oh. Are you serious? - Wow!

Look, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

No, it's fine. Thank you for telling me.

Okay. I should go.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Roz.

Yeah. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Honey. Don't you worry!

- Mama! - Baby, don't worry.

There must be something that we can do.

Yeah, Mom.

I can call my friends and we can be the talent.

- Yeah. - No.

Or we bake extra cookies.

- Yeah! - No, no.

I failed the community.

- I failed you guys. - What?

Honey, stop talking like that.

Stop talking like that.

You have failed no one.

And wait a minute, you're my daughter.

You're definitely not a failure.

I'm not like you, Mama.

And I feel like one.

This feels awful. I feel awful.

I think I'm gonna sleep this off, Mom.

- Really? - Yes.

Oh, honey.

Oh honey, are you sure?

Baby girl, I'll see you in the morning.

- Yes, mom. - Goodnight, Mom.

I just need to sleep this failure off.

- I'll see you in the morning. - Oh, baby, hot chocolate?

No.

Goodnight honey. Sweet dream, sugar plum kisses.

Okay. Get the pans, honey.

Come on. Come on.

We tried.

We did.

We're gonna figure this out.

So what's up with you and my sister-in-law?

Hm?

I've seen the way y'all look at each other.

I mean, she's single, you're single.

I am single.

Single. Okay, good.

Look, Lisa's been through a lot in her last relationship

and she's been trying to move forward.

I just don't want her to lose focus

on something that's not real.

You get what I'm saying?

I hear you.

And I respect that.

For me, I really enjoy spending time with her.

Only time will tell where it goes from there.

Good answer.

But your game needs work

because that, my friend, is checkmate.

Wait, wait.

I told you, brother, I am the master.

No, what you are is lucky.

That's not luck, my friend.

I mean, we could run it back if you want.

No, no, no. You go ahead and run it back.

Okay.

I have to go upstairs and get something.

Yeah, right.

Oh yeah. Your skills? Yeah, they're at the front door.

Oh yeah. Very funny. I hear you.

Okay, but whatever you played out, good one.

- No it's not. - But that was just luck.

Yeah, I'm sure it was.

I'll probably get Dylan to come play with you.

Oh, brother, he can't even tie his shoes.

- Come on, please. - Something sketchy

about this game, I know.

Hey, were you able to connect with him?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

If he's on the other line, go ahead, link him in.

Hello, Mr. Pender.

I apologize for interrupting your holiday,

but I was calling about your son, James.

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna do everything in my power

to get you and James talking again.

Yeah, I know it's gonna be a miracle,

but we can make it happen.

Yes, sir.

You have a good night.

- James. - Who was that?

Did you hear that?

Who was that on the phone?

That was your father, man.

How could you do that?

Y'all need to talk, bro. I mean...

Dalton, respectfully, this does not involve you.

You know I understand that, bro. But-

But nothing!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

This does not have anything to do with you.

Okay, calm down.

All right, my kids are here, man.

All right?

Listen to me.

I used to be just like you, bro,

angry with my father all the time

'cause he would constantly let me down.

And it got to the point where I was fed up

with being disappointed and I cut him off.

And he would call and call and I would never answer.

And then a month later, he got in a car accident

and he was gone.

Just like that.

Now I'm telling you now, man,

there is nothing that I wouldn't give

to have that man call me one more time.

You know how many people wish

they could have a relationship with their father, man?

But you got that chance, you got that opportunity.

And I'm telling you, I know it's not perfect, bro,

but come on.

At least you still got him around.

So come on, James.

I know you mad at me, man,

but at this point, bro, I don't even care.

You need to make things right with your father, man.

He's the only one you got.

Dalton, is everything okay?

Yeah.

James.

- Hey. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Give him some space, baby.

Yeah.

Hey.

I didn't think anybody was up.

Yeah.

Couldn't sleep.

Same.

Are you okay?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Well, you know, sometimes talking helps.

'Cause otherwise you could get emotionally constipated

and then it's stuck in you and it won't come out.

And the next thing you know, you can't get it out of you.

So I'm basically here

to make sure you don't get constipated.

So go ahead.

A couple of years ago, I got a call

that my mother was sick

and had to rush to the hospital.

My parents moved back to the Bahamas after I graduated.

So as for me,

there was no way I could get to her quick enough.

We called and called,

but no one could reach him.

No one could reach who?

My father.

My mother ended up dying alone in a cold room

while my father was busy in bed with another woman.

Oh, James, I'm so sorry.

Since then, every time I think about it, I just get angry.

The selfishness of it all.

I couldn't look at him in the face after all that.

He's tried to reach out to me a couple of times,

but I can't do it.

So here we are.

Look, James,

I don't wanna overstep..

Then don't.

I need to get some rest, okay?

Are we still on for tomorrow?

Yeah. Back on tomorrow.

All right.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

So what's up?

You've been sitting up here like this for a while.

You wanna talk about it?

You have enough problems of your own.

I don't wanna dump mine on you.

It's okay, love.

Just let me know what you need.

At this point, it just is what it is.

I really thought we could pull this off.

Mom did all the food and everyone took the day off.

And for what?

What do you mean?

They did it for you and for the community.

They love you, Roz.

There's nothing else you could've done.

Trust me, baby.

You're just being nice.

I'm telling the truth.

Well, I think I need to be alone for a minute.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

Thank you.

Boo!

I got you good, huh?

Why would you even wanna scare your old man like that?

Well, you look spooky doing that so I guess it's fitting.

Well, it's not Halloween, it's Christmas.

You need to get your holidays together.

Why you even out here messing with me, little girl? Hmm?

What you want?

Nothing much.

Everyone just seems so on edge.

Yeah, I know.

Life has been life-in',

and a lotta disappointing things have been happening.

So, yeah.

With all the drama,

it just doesn't even feel like Christmas.

I know it feels different, but it's still Christmas

and we're all here together.

That's the only thing that matters.

Family, love.

And heck, like Auntie Lisa said,

we took in a homeless man, so...

Mr. James is not homeless.

Homeless or not, we did a good deed.

So we gonna be all right.

"Do not answer."

Who's that?

Anyone ever tell you that you're nosy?

I am nosy.

I'm your father.

I got the right to be nosy,

and I know what do not answer means.

So who was that?

Bryan.

I knew it.

I know everything.

You can't hide nothing from me, girl.

I noticed you took him off all your social media,

and his little big head

behind ain't been popping up at my house.

So what happened?

We broke up.

Well, kind of.

Esta, how do you kinda break up with somebody?

Come on.

I didn't tell him yet.

Now, little girl, you know we don't do that round here.

Accountability.

Hold up.

Did that little boy do something to you?

- What? No. - Did he hurt you, Esta?

- No. - Esta tell me.

You know you can tell me the truth, right?

Dad, no.

Bryan is great. Okay?

It's just, I'm not the same person I was years ago.

We just feel like two different people now.

Baby, that's just a part of growing up.

People grow apart.

There's nothing wrong with that.

He's my best friend though, and I don't wanna hurt him.

So you gonna keep hurting him by lying to him

and not telling him the truth?

I guess you're right.

I know I'm right 'cause I'm the daddy.

Okay, well, looks like I have a phone call to make, huh?

Yeah, you do.

I'm gonna go upstairs and try to get my mind right.

You do that.

Let him down easy.

Wish me luck.

You don't need luck.

You're a Mackenzie.

My little girl's not a baby no more.

Hey, Bryan, can we talk?

Can you meet me at the youth center now?

Yeah. Okay, see you then.

Oh. Roz?

Noel.

I thought that was you.

Oh my goodness.

What are you doing around this way?

You know, I'm all over.

I was out taking a quick run, you know,

to clear up the mind.

Join the club.

Yeah.

Looks like there's something heavy on yours.

Is it that obvious?

Go ahead, lay it on your old friend.

What's bothering you?

You know, I have my son now,

trying to create new memories

and holiday traditions for him.

And I've taken on this jubilee

and it just seems like at every turn,

someone's trying to shut it down.

Shut it down?

Yeah. That damn Eleanor Bradley.

Cutting funding from all the community programs

and redeveloping the district

into this mixed-use commercial space.

It's crazy.

Ah, I see.

Well, can you find a sponsor

that might invest in the event this year,

just to get you through?

Had one.

The most promising one backed out at the last minute

to not ruffle feathers.

A whole community tradition just obliterated.

So what are you gonna do, Roz?

I don't know.

Eleanor Bradley's office isn't taking my calls,

so I give up.

Roz, you never struck me as a type that just quit.

Yeah. Well, do you have any suggestions?

'Cause I don't know what to do.

Yes.

If they are not gonna come to you,

then you take the fight to them.

Take the fight to them?

Oh, I don't know.

Noel?

What in the world?

Hey, Roz, where are you off to with such a hurry?

To Eleanor Bradley's house.

Oh, wait, wait. Did I hear you correctly?

You heard me right,

and don't try to talk me out of it.

- Roz... - Tim, the community

deserves a holiday event

and I'm gonna see to it that we have one.

Okay, so what are you gonna do?

Just show up on her doorstep unannounced?

And then what?

I didn't think that far, but I'm going and that's that.

I'll see you when I get back.

Hold on. I'm coming with you.

Why haven't I heard from you?

I needed some space.

Was it something I did?

No, it's not you. It's me.

Why is this sounding like a breakup?

I figured as much.

Things between us have been weird.

Why didn't you say anything?

I guess I didn't want to face the inevitable

This past year, I've been thinking

a lot about what I want my future to look like

and hit me like a ton of bricks.

I don't know exactly what I want,

but I know it's not this.

That's definitely not what I wanted to hear.

But I'm glad you told me.

But I still want us to be friends.

You're my best friend, Esta.

That's never gonna change.

Come on, bring it in.

See no one's here. Let's go.

No, Tim.

Can I help you?

As a matter of fact, you can.

Oh, this is already going well.

My name is Rozalyn Mackenzie,

and I'm in charge of putting on the Christmas Jubilee

for the Southern District.

The same district your team just stripped funding from.

I beg your pardon?

I mean no disrespect,

but my team has been working hard all fall

to put on this event.

And no funding means all of our work was in vain.

You do realize you are trespassing on private property?

You also realize that's a crime, right?

Yes. And it's a risk we are willing to take.

It was a hard enough blow

when arts was taken out of schools.

But to remove the only thing

that this community looks forward

to year after year every year,

that's too much to bear.

We need youth centers

and things like this to bring us together.

While I appreciate your passion,

this isn't the time or the place for this conversation.

Ms. Bradley, wait, wait, wait.

Excuse me?

Please hear us out.

We're not troublemakers.

We just happen to be two people

who really care about this event.

Make your point, fast.

I happen to be a product of this community,

and it was at this very youth center

where I honed my athletic skills

which have allowed me to go to college on a scholarship.

It kept me off the streets.

I made friends and mentors who became like family to me.

And we used to always look forward to the Christmas Jubilee

because, for one moment in time,

no matter what was going on in the world,

we came together and we celebrated with each other.

To strip that away from a community

that needs everything now would be unfortunate.

We humbly ask that you reconsider your position on this.

- Please. - Please.

Hey, hey. It's okay.

Look, Roz, I mean,

sometimes things just don't work out, right?

All the time things don't.

I guess you guys don't want this money?

Mrs. Bradley, are you for real?

Are you for real?

Took a lotta guts to come here today.

Wasn't very smart, but

I get your point.

Don't look. Don't look at the check.

I can't guarantee what's gonna happen next year,

but for this year's Jubilee,

this should cover all of the expenses.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Yeah.

You two go on and put on an amazing show

and let me worry about everything else.

Thank you.

- Merry Christmas. - Yeah.

- Merry Christmas. - Yeah, merry Christmas

to you.

- And all a good night. - And all of your friends

- and family. - Your dog.

- Everybody and the dog. - And people that you know.

She gave us this money!

We didn't get arrested.

We didn't get arrested.

She wrote a check.

She wrote a check.

She wrote check.

She got the money, hey!

- We gotta call Dalton! - Okay, call him, call him,

call him.

- Hey, Dalton. - It's Tim.

And Roz.

We did it.

Tell everyone the Christmas Jubilee is back on.

Back on!

We got the money, we got...

Get outta this neighborhood.

Hey, how are you?

Can we talk?

I thought you were avoiding me.

Okay. I deserve that.

Yeah.

It would be really important if we could talk

and we could step outside away from everybody.

And I really do have something that I'd like to say.

Please?

Let me get my coat.

- Lead the way. - All right.

Did you want fried or baked?

Okay. Here you go.

Okay.

And here's some salad.

Here's some salad. There you go.

Mama, when is our break?

Because this food is looking good and I'm hungry.

Well, it smells good too.

I mean, I think this is the last push of the afternoon

and after that, you should be in luck.

What?

It's the leasing office.

Well, answer it.

It could be good news.

And use your professional voice.

I don't wanna use my professional voice.

Roll your Rs.

- Okay. Okay, Mom. - Don't play with me.

All right.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Lisa.

Yeah, that sounds perfect.

Yeah.

I can come in tomorrow to sign the papers.

Yeah. Yeah.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah. Happy Kwanzaa.

Alright. You too. Thank you.

- Well? You... - I got the apartment!

Oh, honey!

I knew you could do it.

I am so proud of you, baby.

Oh, thank you, Mama.

I feel a little bad

'cause we leaving you all by yourself

and you gonna be alone and nobody to talk to.

You should feel bad.

No, I'm just kidding.

Honey, don't feel bad, baby,

because Mama may have..

Hey?

A special friend.

Is this a special friend dance?

- Wait, you snapping, Mama? - Uh-huh.

You snapping!

I knew it. I knew it! I knew it!

I told you, I knew it!

I knew it!

Who you been spending time with? Mr. Jones?

Outta my business.

Wait, wait, did you just tell me

to get outta your business?

Oh, I did.

Oh, you told me to get off your street?

Get in the car, Mama. Get in the car.

You told me to get off your street.

- Okay. - Get in the car.

Close the door.

Speed bump!

Oh, Mom.

You're so silly.

- I love you. - I love you, too, Mama.

Oh, baby.

All right, enough about my business.

Let's get back to the business of serving

so you can take your little break.

Okay, well I know what you been serving up,

them breasts and them thighs.

Stop and talk about some drumsticks and the wings.

Mm-hm, them wings, them chickens be clucking.

You know what I mean?

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

I see you, Mama!

Would you stop?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Stop!

Shoot.

Them wings was flap, flap, flap, flap.

James.

Hey, man.

I just wanna apologize about the other night.

It wasn't my position to say anything.

I'm sorry, bro.

Well, I appreciate you owning up to that.

Just wanna make sure you good, man. That's all.

I'm good, bro. Good.

Cool.

Let me go find my wife.

I know she's around here somewhere.

My dad called.

Yeah?

The other day, I heard you loud and clear.

And you were right.

My Dad and I, we need to talk.

Proud of you man.

Love you, brother.

Love you too, brother.

Hey, Dad.

Long time.

I miss you.

Yeah, everything is going well.

Sorry about dinner the other night.

I just figured you got cold feet.

Yeah. It's that obvious?

Peter, I've been knowing you for years. Okay?

I knew an excuse when I hear one.

Well, thank you for not calling me out on that.

Why would I?

Clearly you weren't ready,

and I had to respect that.

You know, sometimes I forget how selfless you are.

I often wonder what would've happened between us

if distance hadn't kept us apart.

I'm sorry.

Please don't apologize.

That was years ago and we were young.

Just think that you think I'm awful for thinking that way.

Peter, I'm not trying to replace your wife.

Those shoes can never be filled.

So stop thinking that, okay?

Yeah, I know.

I appreciate you saying that.

You know, no one knows the guilt that you feel

for sometimes even wanting to move forward.

I must say when I saw you again, Patricia,

I felt alive.

I haven't felt that way in quite a while.

I think I'm ready.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I know I am ready to explore that.

You leave in a couple of days.

I do. I do.

But until I'm gone, there's always dinner.

Oh, so we gonna go for real this time, okay?

Yeah, let's do it for real this time.

And if everything goes well,

there just might be a plane ticket waiting for you.

I'd love that.

Sounds good.

I like that too.

This way, pretty lady.

Oh my gosh. You always had a way with words.

Yes, indeed.

Hey, you.

I was wondering where you went.

Hey.

What's going on?

You want the good news or the bad news?

I'll take the good news first.

I spoke to my dad today.

What? James!

I need to know the details.

When? How?

I just go off the phone with him.

It was something we needed, you know?

Felt so good talking to him.

Wow. That's incredible.

Well, what's next for you two.

Well, I plan to go out there to go see him in a few days.

It's been a while.

So what's the bad news then?

The bad news is my apartment called me today

to tell me that they have a unit ready for me.

Well, that's good news, right?

Not really.

Well, why is that?

Because I don't get to wake up every morning to see you.

Are you flirting with me, sir?

Look, I know my flirting game is off,

so just cut me some slack, okay?

It needs a little help.

I mean, it needs a little something.

Yeah, I know. I know.

Getting to know you this past week has been amazing,

and you and Dalton, you guys have really changed my life.

And for that, I'm really grateful.

Well, look, I would've did it for anybody.

Oh, just anybody? So I'm not special?

I mean, you might be a little special.

What? Just a little?

Like a little bit.

Like about, you know, about around there.

Oh.

Gimme your phone.

Here's my number.

Call me.

Maybe I will.

I could only be so lucky.

So when do you plan to move out here?

Oh, I didn't tell you?

I'm coming in February.

I found a place

and I just gotta tie up a few loose ends.

Well, when you move here,

I'd like to take you out for dinner.

I would like that.

Bet you would.

Anyway, I gotta run.

I need to make it to the liaison office before they close.

You know,

there's something else.

Merry Christmas, Miss Lisa.

Oh!

Merry Christmas.

Feliz Navidad, ooh.

Let's go. It starts at home.

Focus son. Let's go.

Okay, and Mackenzie.

- That was close. - Close, yeah. Yeah.

Really close.

All right, one more time.

Let's go. Let's go.

I believe in you.

- Yes! Yes! - Yes!

That's what I'm talking about!

Right here.

That's my son!

Mrs. Bradley.

Please, call me Eleanor.

To what do we owe this pleasure?

Well, I wanted to check out the Jubilee for myself.

And job well done.

As a matter of fact,

I appreciate what you're doing for the community.

The money you raise for the Wishful Thinking Foundation,

it's incredible.

Thank you.

It was challenging this year, but we exceeded our goals.

That you did.

And to see this all for myself,

I see things differently now.

What does this mean, Eleanor?

This means that I'm voting

to keep the South Side in place.

This area needs things like this.

So thank you for reminding me of what's important.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it. Everyone appreciates it.

Thank you.

Well, you definitely pulled off a Christmas miracle.

Oh, Merry Christmas!

Oh, okay.

Merry freaking Christmas, son! Yes!

Come on, let's party.

We pulled this thing off.

I am so grateful.

You guys have saved this holiday.

You've been superheroes for me,

and I love and appreciate you so much.

Of course, Mom.

We love you and appreciate you.

Anything for you, baby.

We love you.

Aw.

Merry Christmas.
