Kennedy Heart: Dear Santa.

Kennedy Heart here.

I think I've been pretty
good this year.

I do my homework
when my dad asks.

I help do chores all around
the house all year.

I know you're busy,
reading lots of letters.

So I'm really hoping
you see mine.

I have a great dad but sometimes
I feel like I need someone

different, like a mom.

I know that's a big ask, but my
dad always says you never let

anyone down.

If I could get a few more other
things too, it would also be a

puppy, new shoes, and winning my
basketball championship today.

Lastly, my dad never
asks for anything.

So I'm gonna ask for him.

Maybe you can bring him
someone who makes him happy.

Sometimes he's just
really lonely.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Love, Kennedy Heart.

know what Santa could bring.

Johnathan: Okay, all right,
with that I say, "Goodnight.

See you in the morning."

Kennedy: Make sure to put
the star on the tree.

Johnathan: Oh, did you want
to do it before you go?

Kennedy: No, I'm gonna
save it for Dr. Frosty.

Danielle: She is
something special.

Johnathan: Yeah, she is a
special handful, that's what she

is, man.

I appreciate you going
with us today.

It meant a lot to her.

Danielle: Yeah, Christmas was
always my favorite holiday.

Last couple of months, I've been
a little bit of a grinch.

So today was the first time
I kind of felt like myself.

So, thank you.

Johnathan: You're welcome.

It also meant a lot to me.

I enjoyed you as well.

Danielle: Well, there's
only one thing left to do.

Johnathan: Yeah.

Danielle: Put the
star on the tree!

Johnathan: Yeah, right.

Danielle: Gimme, gimme.

Johnathan: You like it?

Danielle: Yes, she's so pretty.

Johnathan: Yeah, it's always
meant a lot to put the star on

the tree.

Danielle: Can you help
me, please, sir?

Johnathan: I can do that.

Danielle: Let's do it.

All right.

Let's see.

It's perfect.

Johnathan: Perfect.

[knocking on door]

Danielle: Are you
expecting someone?

Johnathan: Definitely not.
I'll get rid of 'em, okay?

Scarlett: Honey, I'm home.

I've always wanted to say that.

Now, where is my baby girl?

Johnathan: What are you
doing here, Stephanie?

Scarlett: It's Scarlett
Gray now, you know that.

Johnathan: Excuse me if I
don't follow your Hollywood

stage name.

Danielle: Is everything okay?

Scarlett: Scarlett Gray.

Danielle: Hi.

Scarlett: She's cute.

Johnathan: This is
Kennedy's mother.

Kennedy: What?
Scarlett Gray's my mom?

I knew Santa would come through.

Scarlett: Oh, Honey.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, what happened to your arm?

Kennedy: I broke it playing
basketball but Dr. Frosty put a

cast and drew the school dog.

Scarlett: Oh, isn't
that so cute?

Mommy's gonna have to
autograph it for you later.

Oh, so you're a doctor?

Danielle: Orthopedic surgeon.

Scarlett: And how long
have you two been dating?

Johnathan: Okay, that's enough.

Scarlett: Hey, let Mommy take
you out to get some dinner.

Johnathan: Well, she's
already eaten.

Scarlett: Okay, how about we get
some ice cream tomorrow morning?

Johnathan: She has
school tomorrow.

Scarlett: Well,
obviously after school.

Gee, Johnathan.

Oh, baby, listen.

I am here to stay.

I'm not going anywhere.

Mama is home.

Danielle: Yeah, I'm
gonna head out.

Scarlett: Oh.

Danielle: Good to see
you again, Kennedy.

Thank you for letting me
put the star on the tree.

Kennedy: You're
welcome, Dr. Frosty.

Lovely meeting you, Scarlett.

Scarlett: Oh, you too, Frosty.

Johnathan: It's Frost.

Scarlett: Frost, Frosty,
Snowman, whichever.

Danielle: Good
evening, everyone.

Johnathan: Let me get our coats.

Scarlett: Oh, baby.

Johnathan: Stephanie, I'm gonna
need you to go sit in your car.

Kennedy: Who's Stephanie?

Johnathan: I'm not leaving
you in here by yourself.

Scarlett: Why?

Nothing's gonna
happen, Johnathan.

Kennedy: It's okay, Dad.

Scarlett: I'm not
going anywhere.

Oh, man.

Oh, look at you,
you're so beautiful.

I've missed you so much.

We have so much to do.

Oh, wow, hot chocolate.

He lets you have
all that sugar?

You eat those cookies?

Okay, well, Mama's gonna make
some changes around here.

Yeah, Mama's gonna
make some changes.

Now I put the star on.

[Scarlett giggling]

Johnathan: Uh.

Danielle: Oh, so, that
was, yeah, uh--

Johnathan: Something.

I'm sorry about that.

Danielle: So, Scarlett
Gray is your ex?

Johnathan: Yes.

She left 7 years ago
and never came back.

I haven't heard from
her till tonight.

Danielle: Well, that's
great for Kennedy.

She can have her mom back.

Johnathan: No, she's no mother.

A mother doesn't leave her
daughter and then just shows

back up like nothing happened.

I mean, you saw that
in there, right?

So, what does that--what
does that mean for us?

Danielle: I don't
know, Johnathan.

I got so much going on in my
life, I can't add any drama

to it.

Johnathan: Listen, come here.

This won't affect us, okay?

Danielle: Well...

I will see you
around, Mr. Heart.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Scarlett Gray is sorry.

Scarlett: Now, what do

Johnathan: I wanna know why you
felt it necessary to come back

or, before you answer that,
tell me why you left in the

first place.

Scarlett: Johnathan,
you know I had a dream.

Johnathan: You had a daughter.

A daughter, Stephanie, a
daughter you chose to leave on

her first birthday.

Just get out.

Get out of my house.

Don't ever come back here.

Kennedy: Dad, are
you mad at Mom?

Johnathan: She is
not your mother.

Kennedy: I told you all I wanted
for Christmas was a puppy and

a mom.

Santa gave me a mom.

Is that a bad present?

Scarlett: No, no, it's
not a bad gift, okay?

So Daddy is dealing with some
really big emotions right now,

and rightfully so, but I want
you to know that Santa gave you

your wish and Mommy's gonna be
here for you and for Dad from

here on out, okay?

Can Mommy have a hug?

Mm.

going into work today?

Johnathan: No, that means I

Scarlett: Johnathan,

I'm sorry, I had to go.

I had to take that chance.

I couldn't live with

Johnathan: Even if it meant
deserting your family, huh?

Scarlett: You have every right

I know, I left, but I knew

I didn't know she would

I can't help but thinking
that maybe we had something

between us.

The tree, the star, kiss.

You also left your scarf, so I

Scarlett: I told her she had to
check with you first to make

sure it was okay.

Kennedy: Please, Dad?

Scarlett: Please, Dad?

Johnathan: Okay.

Kennedy: Yay!

Johnathan: There's a few
things you need to know.

She gets out at 2:23.

Not 2:30, not 2:25.

Scarlett: Got it.

Johnathan: Also, if you're going
to get sundaes, then you need to

know she's allergic to bananas.

So no banana flavors,
no banana toppings.

Sometimes she gets excited, she
just wants to put everything on

her sundae.

Scarlett: Okay.

Johnathan: Okay, well, last
thing is you need to make sure

you got your overnight bag
packed to go to Morgan's house

tonight because she's
spending the night tonight.

So when I come home, I'm
gonna take you, okay?

Scarlett: Well, I can take her

Johnathan: So now you want
all the responsibility?

Scarlett: Whatever
you're comfortable with.

Kennedy: Got my overnight bag.

Ready to go, Captain?

Johnathan: Have fun at school.

Be safe.

You got my number if
you need me, right?

Kennedy: It's right

Johnathan: All right.

Kennedy: See you later.

Scarlett: Give Dad a kiss.

Johnathan: All right.
All right.

Scarlett: Thank you for this.

Have a good day, Dad.

Krystal: Gentlemen, truly, you
guys have outdone yourself.

This is better than I
could have imagined.

Tony: Listen, all credit goes

I'm just a face.

He's the hands.

Krystal: Well, I am really
excited to get started.

Johnathan: Well, as soon as we
get the permits, we can move

forward, it usually
takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

Krystal: Oh, no, it won't take
that long; I actually know

people in the office,
it'll be quicker.

Tony: This is a great
partnership.

Krystal: Johnathan, do you mind
if I have a word with you?

Johnathan: Sure.

Tony: Well, all right.

Krystal: So, how's
everything going?

Johnathan: My personal life

Krystal: But it does
affect my friend.

Look, Danielle has had a
rough couple of months, okay?

And I don't know what's going
on with you and Scarlett, and

frankly it is none of my

make a decision.

You at least owe her that.

Okay, well, other
than that, good work.

Danielle: Ah, great work
in there today, team.

Ava will be playing with her
baby brother in no time.

I was observing your work.

Very, very impressive,
very impressive.

Danielle: Thank you.

Is there anything
else, Dr. Winters?

Karl: No, I just want to
congratulate you on a job

well done.

Danielle: Thanks.

Karl: Dr. Frost, wait up.

Danielle: I have
another surgery.

Karl: Yeah, 2 hours.

Can you slow down,
just slow down.

Danielle: What can I do
for you, Dr. Winters?

Karl: I was--I was stupid.

I am stupid.

I'm very, very, very stupid.

Danielle: This is new.

Karl: Listen, no,
there's no excuses.

I take full responsibility
for my actions.

Danielle: That's nice, but
it doesn't change the fact

that you--

Karl: You're right.

You are right, there's
nothing that I can say to

change my actions or get rid
of the pain that I caused you.

There's nothing.

Danielle: I am a smart,
beautiful, charismatic woman.

I am the catch and I chose you
with the thought that we could

be a team, personally
and professionally.

How could I have been so wrong?

Out of nowhere--

Karl: I'm scared, Dani.

My dad, he left my mom in the
hospital the day I was born.

I can't help but think, like,
even to this day, how much of a

burden was I, if he couldn't
even--he couldn't even stay

there for 24 hours
to be with me?

Like, I keep waking up every
morning and thinking, like, you

could be gone.

You're an amazing
woman, Danielle.

Please, can we
please start over?

Scarlett: So how was
your day, Sweetheart?

Kennedy: It was great.

Scarlett: Really?
And what made it so great?

Kennedy: I told all my friends
and teachers that my mom's

Scarlett Gray.

Scarlett: You did?

Kennedy: Yup, oh, the ice
cream place is over there.

Scarlett: Okay, so, Sweetheart,
what did they say when you told

them that?

Kennedy: They asked why I was
just finding out this and I

didn't know this before.

I said you've been busy working
and now you're home and taking

me to get ice cream.

Scarlett: Oh, Sweetheart.

I'm so sorry that happened
to you at school today.

Kennedy: It's okay, Mom.

Mom, I like saying "Mom."

I have a mom now.

Scarlett: I never meant
to hurt you, Kennedy.

Kennedy: Mom, the ice cream
place is around the corner.

Scarlett: Sweetheart,
look at me.

I've always wanted the best for
you, but when you were young, I

felt like I had nothing to give.

So I took a chance
on me and I won.

But that does not excuse
me from leaving you.

Kennedy: It's okay, Mom.
You're Scarlett Gray.

Scarlett: Oh, baby.

I haven't always been Scarlett
Gray, but I have always been

your mother and that matters
more than anything.

You matter more than
anything or anyone to me.

What I did was wrong and selfish
and I really should have come

back sooner.

Kennedy: I forgive you, Mom.

You want a hug, don't you?

Scarlett: Yes.

Scarlett: Oh, baby.

Kennedy: Now, can we
get ice cream?

Scarlett: Sure.
Yes, yes, ice cream, okay.

Okey dokey.

Kennedy: Mom, what's happening?

male: Roll it.

male: Okay.

Scarlett: I don't know, Honey.

You know, when you're in movies,
you have to make sure that you

look your best at all times,
because people will get so

excited when they wanna meet
you and they want to follow you

wherever you go, you know,
they wanna talk to you.

So you wanna make sure that
you always look your best.

Now, before we get out, which
one of these do you like

the best?

Kennedy: I like that one.

Scarlett: There we go.
Put those on for me.

Okay, all right.

Well, there we go.

Now we're ready.

Okay, now you just
wave and smile.

You let me do all
the talking, okay?

Kennedy: Okay.

male: Scarlett!

Who's that in the back?

female: Is that her daughter?
male: Is that her daughter?

male: Scarlett Gray, what brings
you back to Columbus?

female: Are you done
with Hollywood?

Scarlett: Finished
with Hollywood?

Please know, guys, I'm
just getting started.

male: Well, you haven't
been back to your hometown in

seven years.

You filming your
next movie here?

Scarlett: That's a
good idea, I should

talk to my agent about that.

female: Did you come back
because of the backlash with

your last clip?

Scarlett: No, I came back
to be with my daughter.

male: How come we never
seen your daughter before?

Why is she living here?

Scarlett: I asked for this life,
she didn't, and I needed to make

sure that she was safe, okay?

You haven't seen her because I
didn't want to uproot her from

her environment, that's all.

Kennedy: Can we go
get ice cream now?

Scarlett: Yes, yes,
of course, of course.

Now that's all, guys.
I love you so much.

But if you'll excuse me, we
have to get some ice cream.

what's her name?

Scarlett: Always leave
them wanting more.

what would you like?

Kennedy: Oreo Roll.

Scarlett: Oreo Roll, okay.

And what do you think
Mommy should get?

Kennedy: Fruity Unicorn.

Scarlett: Oh, Fruity Unicorn.

That seems fitting.

Let's do that.

Oreo Roll and Fruity Unicorn.

Tony: Bro, between the Berkeley
and Krystal Kane projects, we're

probably gonna beat
projections by at least 12%.

Johnathan: That's what
I'm talking about.

Tony: Yeah, and maybe we can
hire a few other people, you

know, to give you some time to
get outside of work, you know,

to get to know Dr. Frost.

Johnathan: Yeah, she hasn't
returned my call since Stephanie

came back in town.

Tony: I mean, you
know where she works.

Johnathan: I'm not a stalker.

Coach Landon: No one
likes a stalker.

Tony: Yeah, no one likes a
stalker, but you could call her.

Find her, bro.

You deserve it.

Johnathan: With Kennedy, I'm
just, you know, oh, man.

Tony: Man, Kennedy will be fine.

She's beautiful,
she's intelligent.

She's got you as a father.

I mean, we all want you to have
something better, whether that's

with Danielle or Scarlett.

female: Action star Scarlett
Gray gets mobbed while getting

ice cream in her hometown
with her new daughter?

Kennedy: Can we go
get ice cream now?

Scarlett: Yes, yes,
of course, of course.

female: When asked where this
daughter came from, here was

her response.

Scarlett: I asked to
be in this business.

She didn't.

I needed to make sure that her
life was as normal as possible.

And you haven't seen her simply
because I didn't want to uproot

her from her environment,
guys, that's all.

Johnathan: That's
a bunch of bull.

female: Is this really
Scarlett Gray's daughter?

Where's the father?

Johnathan: I'm right here.

I'm the one who's been
taking care of her.

Tony: Easy, man.

female: I don't know, but as my
grandmother would say, something

in the milk ain't white.

Back to you.

Johnathan: I gotta go.

Tony: Johnathan?

Johnathan: Kennedy?

Kennedy?

Where is she?

Scarlett: I dropped off
at Morgan's house.

Johnathan: See, she wasn't
supposed to be there until

7 o'clock.

Scarlett: Oh, I met Morgan's mom
at school and she said it was

okay that I dropped her
off after ice cream.

Johnathan: Yeah, ice cream.

Yeah, I saw your little
stunt over there.

Scarlett: What are
you talking about?

Johnathan: What's your
angle, Stephanie, huh?

I mean, why are you
really here, huh?

Scarlett: I needed to see
you and I really needed to

see Kennedy.

You have no idea how many nights
I cried myself to sleep for

making that decision.

Johnathan: Yeah, and that was
your decision, yours alone.

Scarlett: I knew what I wanted
to do since I was 10 years old,

just like you.

Except it wasn't so cut and dry.

Yes, we had an amazing daughter
and we were in a great

relationship, but--

Johnathan: That
wasn't enough, huh?

Scarlett: I wouldn't have been
able to live with myself if I

didn't at least try to
go after my dream.

And I wouldn't have been able
to love Kennedy the way that a

mother should and I wouldn't
have been able to love you.

I was gonna give it 6 months.

But then my dream became real,
and before you knew it, so much

time had gone by.

Johnathan, you are a great man
and an even better father.

I would have never left her
if I didn't think you could

handle it.

You've been great and thank
you for holding us down.

But I'm here to take the load
off your shoulders now, if you

let me.

Let me in.

it definitely is.

Scarlett: So, why are you
up this early and dressed

like that?

Did you have a meeting with
Santa or the Keebler people?

Johnathan: That's good.
That's good.

No, it's our annual
Christmas Crawl at the gym.

We dress up for it.

Scarlett: Okay, and
you chose that?

Hm.

Johnathan: Yeah.

Well, I didn't--I didn't have a
lot of time to, you know, go get

something else.

Scarlett: Yeah,
that's apparent.

Johnathan: Is it that bad?

Hm?

Scarlett: It's Christmas.

Nothing's that bad.

Johnathan: I killed
Thanksgiving.

Macaroni, four cheeses.

Scarlett: Oh, no,
not four, whoa.

Johnathan: Whatever, okay?

Scarlett: So can I go to
this crawl at the gym?

I think I may have
the perfect outfit.

Think it's--think it could
be better than this one?

Scarlett: Oh, without question.

Johnathan: Let's do it.

Scarlett: You're on.

Johnathan: Okay, get dressed.
Scarlett: All right.

Johnathan: I'll meet
you there, actually.

Scarlett: Okay.

Scarlett: Oh, hey, Coach.

Coach: You good.

Scarlett: Okay.

female: Wow.

Scarlett: The things
you find in L A.

Coach: All right,
everybody, welcome to our

annual Christmas crawl.

And I wanna thank
everybody for dressing up.

You guys look great.

Johnathan: Thanks.

Thank you, appreciate it.

Coach: But Johnathan, at
least you tried, but did kill

Thanksgiving though.

Johnathan: I told
you, four cheeses.

Macaroni, four cheeses.

Coach: Oh, nice of you
to join us, Tony.

Tony: Sorry about that, Coach.

The lines were crazy and I would
have gotten you one, but it

would have been
another 5 minutes.

female: Tony, I was supposed
to be the snowman this year.

I told you last year and
the year before that.

You do this every year, and she
looks like Malibu Barbie and I'm

just a fool and a tool.

Coach: Okay, okay, we got
an 18-minute workout.

It's gonna give us the action
figure abs of our lives.

Like our very own action
star, Miss Scarlett Gray.

Everybody, please welcome her.

Scarlett: Oh.

Tony: Yes, welcome
back, Scarlett Gray.

How long are you
gonna stay this time?

Johnathan: Tony!

Tony: No, bro, it's just a
simple question 'cause it's

easy to come back when you've
got all this controversy

surrounding you.

You know, the hometown is always
gonna show up for you even when

we know she's not
gonna show up for us.

Scarlett: You know what, Tony?

Johnathan: Hey, who's
ready to crawl, huh?

I am.
Let's go.

Danielle: No, kudos on that.
It went over brilliantly.

Dr. Collins: So much better.

Karl: Dr. Frost, can I
have a word with you?

Danielle: Yeah, but I need
some more hot chocolate.

Karl: Huh?

So after last night, that's
all you have to say to me?

Danielle: We had a great
conversation over dinner.

Don't make it more
than what it was.

Karl: We talked like two adults.

Danielle: Uh, true.

Karl: I, you know, understand
our history, my history, but I

think last night
was a good start.

Danielle: Krystal, you
do not work here.

Krystal: When you come bearing
gifts, you get special

privileges, Honey, okay?

Hi, Dr. Collins, I
brought you your gift.

Dr. Collins: Oh, how could
I have been so lucky?

Krystal: You gotta
claim it, all right?

Okay.

What are you guys doing?
Talking about doctor stuff or--

Karl: Krystal.
Krystal: Karl.

Danielle: Krystal.
Krystal: Dani.

Karl: I'll talk to you later.
Danielle: Yeah.

Karl: Yeah.

Krystal: Why are you still
talking to that man when you

have Johnathan Frickin' Heart,
who is in love with you, okay?

What happened last night?

Danielle: I picked up my scarf.

Krystal: Yeah, you did and?

Danielle: He came to
the door, half naked.

Krystal: Okay.

Danielle: With lipstick
on his neck.

Krystal: No.

Danielle: Followed by Scarlett
Gray, handing me my scarf.

Krystal: Damn,
Mama, I'm so sorry.

Danielle: But I kept my
dinner with Karl and it went

surprisingly well.

Krystal: Just be careful, okay?

I don't trust that man.

Danielle: I might give
him another chance.

You should too.

Krystal: Should I?
Danielle: Yeah.

Krystal: No, I love you.
I don't love him.

Danielle: Oh, stop.
What are you doing at my job?

Krystal: Okay, because
Dr. Collins, he wanted

a book and so I came, you
know what I'm sayin'?

I'll see you later.

Johnathan: Oh, it's
cold out here.

Ladies, hot chocolate for you.

Scarlett: Get him, get
him, try to get him.

Johnathan: Oh, really?

Okay, all right.

Oh, okay, okay.

Who wants some?
Who wants some?

Scarlett: Wait, wait, wait.

Johnathan: Oh, I got you.

Oh, okay, that was a big one.

That was a--Scarlett
Gray in the building.

Scarlett: Same time,
same time, ready?

Johnathan: Oh, okay,
hold on, hold on.

See, I just rushed.

Karl: We really thought
they'd appreciate this one.

Danielle: You never know
what Santa could bring.

Krystal: Okay, I really love
the bay windows down here.

I don't know, I'm just wondering
if we can get a little bit more

light in the--in the
master bedroom.

Tony: Well, are you a
evening or morning person?

Krystal: Morning.

Tony: Okay, so we can put
a skylight in, right?

Or we can do floor to ceiling
windows in that room, which

would mean amazing light when
you're waking up in the morning

and that evening privacy when
you're calling it a night.

Krystal: Okay, I like
where your head's at.

Tony: Yeah.

Krystal: So.

Tony: So.

both: What's up
with your friend?

Krystal: I keep telling her that
Karl is all wrong for her.

Tony: And Scarlett is the worst.

Krystal: And she says
that she's happy, so.

Tony: And he's not been grumpy.

Nah, we gotta end this.

Johnathan: Okay, what
are--what are we ending?

Krystal: This meeting.

Truly, gentlemen,
the mockup is great.

Please make those changes that
we talked about, so we can get

that light in, and
I'm really happy.

Tony: Well, if I don't see
you before, Merry Christmas.

Krystal: Merry Christmas.

Okay, Merry Christmas.

You too.

Tony: Nice of you
to finally show up.

Johnathan: No, I got caught
with family breakfast.

You know, Scarlett
makes amazing pancakes.

Tony: Whoa, so we're
calling her Scarlett now?

You gotta be kidding me.

Johnathan: I think she
regret what she did.

Like, I really think she's
here to stay this time.

I should take her back, huh?

Tony: Is that what you want?

Johnathan: I mean, you know my
parents, they were married for

40 years.

And no, everything wasn't
sunshine and rainbows, but we

were a family.

Like, I want that for Kennedy.

Tony: Whatever happens,
Kennedy will be fine.

The question is, will you?

Johnathan: Yeah.

[Danielle humming]

Danielle: So, what do you have
on your agenda for today?

Karl: I am meeting
with some VIP donors.

Danielle: Ugh, the worst.

Karl: What do you mean, why are
you saying that's the worst?

Danielle: Because just because
they give money to the hospital

doesn't mean they should receive
preferential treatment over a

normal person with
the same problems.

Karl: That's exactly
what it means.

Normal people don't pay
our salaries; they do.

Danielle: Insurance
pays our salaries.

Karl: You know what I mean.

Look, the cutting edge
technology, it's paid for by

the VIPs.

I think it's only right that
they should get to use it

first, right?

Danielle: Regardless of who
needs it the most or who's next

on the list?

Karl: Oh, look, I--see, I like
that about you, your passion for

the underserved community, but
there's no money, no honey.

I really thought
this was gonna work.

Karl: Look, this
is going to work.

You just have to understand
the dynamics of how

everything works.

You'll learn, okay?

Bye.

I love you.

Johnathan: Ladies,
breakfast ready in five.

Kennedy: It smells
good as usual, Dad.

Johnathan: Thank you.

Your mom hasn't had my cooking
in a while so I had to step my

game up and let her know
what she's missing.

Kennedy: Dad, I forgot to
get Mom a Christmas present.

Today's Christmas Eve.

Can we sneak out
and get something?

Johnathan: How about this?

You figure out how we can get
out of the house without Mom and

I'll let her know
breakfast is ready, deal?

Kennedy: Deal.

Scarlett: Okay, what else?

Marty: I mean, we got
everything we wanted.

You going back to Columbus,
getting shots with your

new daughter.

Scarlett: Okay, she's
not my new daughter.

She's my daughter, Marty.

Marty: I don't care
whose daughter it is.

The publicity you got from this
has the director back on board

and you as the lead.

Scarlett: Well, I mean, I
guess that's good to hear.

Marty: Yeah, they're talking
about a three-picture deal.

No one will remember Jennifer
Lawrence in the "Hunger Games"

when this comes out, right?

[laughing]

Scarlett: This is why
I love you, Marty.

Marty: Now the only thing they
need is for you to sit down with

the director.

Scarlett: Okay, when?
Marty: Tomorrow.

Scarlett: Tomorrow?

But that's Christmas.

Marty: I know, but that's the
only day he could meet

before he goes into full
prep mode for this.

I've already booked you a
redeye out for tonight.

Scarlett: Oh, Marty, I can't
leave my daughter and her father

on Christmas.

No, no, I just got back.

Marty: Scarlett, although it
was caught on the mic, you said

with your real
feelings, remember?

If you want to be a successful
in this business, kids can't be

a part of the equation, or the
baby's father, for that matter.

Look, they wanna shoot all three
movies at one time, so you're

probably gonna be gone
for the next two years.

Listen, I know this is hard, but
this is life-changing for us.

We will get them access to the
set for a couple of days when

you start shooting and, of
course, you can walk with them

on the carpet at the premiere
and just imagine how proud

they're gonna be to see you as
the biggest movie star in the

last decade.

I'll call you in the morning
before the meeting.

Let's close this deal.

Scarlett: Okay, I'll
call you tomorrow.

Marty: And congratulations.

Johnathan: Ladies and gentlemen,
the Academy Award goes to

Scarlett Gray in her
role in "Betrayal 2."

Scarlett: Johnathan, please.

Johnathan: You just used us
to clean up your image.

Scarlett: No, I came back
for you and Kennedy.

Johnathan: Just
stop it, Stephanie.

You don't even believe that.

You're just gonna use us
as a publicity stunt, huh?

And you know what, if it was me,
I'd be fine with it, 'cause I

know what you are.

But to bring our daughter into
this, our daughter, the one

who's looked up to you her whole
life before she even knew you

were her mother?

Scarlett: I came back because
something was missing from

my life.

You both were missing
from my life.

Johnathan: Or it was that
three-picture deal, huh?

Scarlett: No.

No, please listen.

I care so much about
you and Kennedy.

You have to know that.

Johnathan: If you're gonna leave
this time, I'm not covering

for you.

So you're gonna have to look
Kennedy in the eyes yourself.

You, and you're gonna have
to tell her if you wanna be

successful in this business,
kids can't be a part of the

equation, right?

Right?

Say it, say it.

Scarlett: I don't believe that.
No, I'm not saying it.

John, just please,
Johnathan, John.
