It's going to be a long month.

13
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:23,842
Just one?
Coming right up.

14
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,914
Wow, I didn't know anyone
read newspapers anymore.

15
00:02:29,015 --> 00:02:29,882
Very old school.

16
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,617
Well, I work for the paper,

17
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:33,485
so I like
to keep the illusion going.

18
00:02:33,586 --> 00:02:34,453
Writer?

19
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:35,721
I wish.

20
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:36,688
Copy editor.

21
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:38,991
I get all the news
I need to know online.

22
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:41,793
Mm, yes,
they do such in-depth reporting

23
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:43,462
on Facebook and Twitter.

24
00:02:43,563 --> 00:02:44,530
Well, sometimes,
you need to know

25
00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:45,597
what your friends had for lunch.

26
00:02:46,799 --> 00:02:48,333
Miss?

27
00:02:48,434 --> 00:02:50,302
Um, medium drip,
room for milk, please?

28
00:02:50,403 --> 00:02:51,503
House, or Christmas blend?

29
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:53,238
What makes it
a "Christmas blend?"

30
00:02:53,339 --> 00:02:54,773
Is it brewed by elves?

31
00:02:54,874 --> 00:02:55,807
I don't know...

32
00:02:55,909 --> 00:02:56,775
It's just a thing...

33
00:02:56,876 --> 00:02:57,776
For the holidays.

34
00:02:57,877 --> 00:02:59,011
People like it.

35
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,546
You want it?

36
00:03:00,647 --> 00:03:02,214
Mm, that's okay,
I'll stick with the house.

37
00:03:04,817 --> 00:03:06,985
Sure you don't want
to roll the dice?

38
00:03:07,086 --> 00:03:09,488
Not with my coffee, no.

39
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:11,557
Oh, can I also get
a multigrain, gluten-free bagel,

40
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:13,058
exactly one tablespoon
of light cream cheese?

41
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:15,060
Thank you!

42
00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:16,495
Wow, you are
a thrill-seeker.

43
00:03:18,264 --> 00:03:21,433
And you've got paint
on your face, and in your hair.

44
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:24,970
Hazard of the profession.
Artist.

45
00:03:27,106 --> 00:03:27,973
Hey!

46
00:03:28,074 --> 00:03:29,641
"Deck the halls."
That's my favorite.

47
00:03:29,742 --> 00:03:31,777
Mm... that makes one of us.

48
00:03:32,912 --> 00:03:34,346
Hi.

49
00:03:34,447 --> 00:03:36,748
I'll take a Christmas
coffee, please.

50
00:03:36,849 --> 00:03:37,849
Extra large.

51
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,394
Ooh, is that
their Christmas blend?

52
00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:50,362
Oh, hey, hales.

53
00:03:50,463 --> 00:03:53,599
No, it's holiday-free
coffee, thankfully.

54
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:54,766
Uh-oh, here
it comes again...

55
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:56,235
The I-hate-Christmas-blues.

56
00:03:56,336 --> 00:03:58,003
You have such
a vivid imagination.

57
00:03:58,104 --> 00:03:59,905
No wonder you work
in the creative department.

58
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:01,540
You do realize
it's been two christmases

59
00:04:01,641 --> 00:04:02,674
since Steve proved

60
00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:04,643
what a worthless excuse
for a boyfriend he was.

61
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,612
Isn't it time you gave
the holidays a break?

62
00:04:06,713 --> 00:04:09,581
I am overflowing
with Christmas cheer.

63
00:04:09,682 --> 00:04:11,316
Hey, watch it
with the reindeer!

64
00:04:13,386 --> 00:04:15,053
You are so not
overflowing with cheer.

65
00:04:15,154 --> 00:04:16,054
I'm stressed.

66
00:04:16,155 --> 00:04:17,055
I have a meeting
with yvette

67
00:04:17,156 --> 00:04:18,023
about my story pitch.

68
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:19,324
Oh, the one
about the dog weddings?

69
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,493
That's great! That must mean
she really likes it.

70
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,096
Or she just wants
to reject me face to face.

71
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:25,163
Again.

72
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:31,870
I'm sorry, it's a pass.

73
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,139
Really?

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,641
'Cause I feel like
a lot of our readers

75
00:04:35,742 --> 00:04:36,575
who love dogs would...

76
00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:37,809
Susan...

77
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:40,112
Maybe you were just meant
to edit other writers' work.

78
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,147
There's no shame in that.

79
00:04:42,248 --> 00:04:43,382
It's a compliment.

80
00:04:43,483 --> 00:04:46,485
Thanks, yvette, but I'm tired of
being a copy editor.

81
00:04:46,586 --> 00:04:48,020
I mean, I want to be a writer.

82
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,955
Well, then bring me an idea
with some magic.

83
00:04:50,056 --> 00:04:52,190
Something authentic,
emotional...

84
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:53,925
Personal.

85
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:56,128
I mean...
Do you even have a dog?

86
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:58,363
No, but...

87
00:04:58,464 --> 00:04:59,965
I rest my case.

88
00:05:03,736 --> 00:05:05,404
Susan?

89
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:06,405
Okay, fine,

90
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:07,372
I'm going to give you
one more chance.

91
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:11,209
Something just fell through
for the Christmas day edition.

92
00:05:13,112 --> 00:05:15,180
Pitch me
an amazing holiday story,

93
00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:16,214
and the slot is yours.

94
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,217
You are into Christmas,
aren't you?

95
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:22,020
Christmas?

96
00:05:22,121 --> 00:05:23,021
Me?

97
00:05:23,122 --> 00:05:24,022
Are you kidding?

98
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:25,891
I live for Christmas!

99
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,826
I mean, I am, like,
the queen of Christmas.

100
00:05:31,564 --> 00:05:33,265
Okay.
Outline on my desk in two days.

101
00:05:33,366 --> 00:05:34,533
Two days.
Two days!

102
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,613
Why do you still bother
with these lights?

103
00:05:48,715 --> 00:05:49,915
Half of them don't work,
they always get tangled up,

104
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:51,616
and you just end up
throwing them out.

105
00:05:51,718 --> 00:05:53,185
And buying new ones.

106
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:54,319
That's just what we do,
sweetie.

107
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:57,055
Well, it doesn't seem
very practical.

108
00:05:57,156 --> 00:05:58,990
You should write about this.

109
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:02,994
A story
about an old piece of wood...

110
00:06:03,096 --> 00:06:04,029
I smell pulitzer.

111
00:06:04,130 --> 00:06:05,764
You can make jokes,

112
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:07,432
but this "old piece of wood"
is a story...

113
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:09,134
One filled with magic.

114
00:06:09,235 --> 00:06:10,969
Oh, mom, please,
not that again.

115
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:14,005
Well, be "cynical susie,"
if you want,

116
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:16,074
but this little angel
brings people together.

117
00:06:16,175 --> 00:06:17,843
Oh, hon,
that's old family folklore.

118
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:20,045
How did you and I meet?

119
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:22,647
Is that a trick question?

120
00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:24,750
You met on a blind date.

121
00:06:24,851 --> 00:06:26,752
So?

122
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:28,153
So what was I doing
the first time

123
00:06:28,254 --> 00:06:29,321
your father called
to ask me out?

124
00:06:29,422 --> 00:06:30,856
I was decorating our...

125
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:32,791
Family Christmas tree!

126
00:06:32,892 --> 00:06:35,427
You were "literally
placing the angel on top of it

127
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:36,928
when the phone rang."

128
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:38,263
That's right...

129
00:06:39,332 --> 00:06:42,567
And 10 months later,
I was walking down the aisle.

130
00:06:42,635 --> 00:06:45,303
Mom, it's sentimental,
but it's not a feature story.

131
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,338
Thank you, though.

132
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:49,574
I'll tell you what...

133
00:06:49,675 --> 00:06:50,709
Take it,
it's yours.

134
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:51,777
What?

135
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,044
How is it mine?

136
00:06:53,146 --> 00:06:54,045
Don't I have to get married

137
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:55,680
before
the big "angel pass-down"?

138
00:06:55,782 --> 00:06:56,748
Isn't that the family rule?

139
00:06:57,717 --> 00:06:58,917
Rules are made to be broken.

140
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:01,052
Since when?

141
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:04,122
Maybe the angel will help
inspire your article.

142
00:07:04,223 --> 00:07:06,858
Which is to say,
help find you a boyfriend.

143
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:08,860
Preferably before
the holidays!

144
00:07:08,961 --> 00:07:09,861
Oh, hon...

145
00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:11,630
And someone special, please.

146
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:12,764
Thank you, mom,

147
00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:15,300
but I'm not looking
for "someone special," okay?

148
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:16,668
Not right now, anyway.

149
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,804
That just might be
up to this little angel here.

150
00:07:21,741 --> 00:07:23,208
Oh!

151
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,177
Got it!

152
00:07:35,188 --> 00:07:37,856
And then
it seems my great-grandpa

153
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:39,090
carved the angel
for this actress he fell for,

154
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,860
but, in the end, he married
my great-grandma Maggie...

155
00:07:41,961 --> 00:07:43,295
And gave the angel to her.

156
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,397
You should at least
write about it.

157
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:47,232
Maybe the thing with your
great-grandpa and the actress

158
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:48,166
was really romantic...

159
00:07:48,267 --> 00:07:50,635
Or, better yet, tragic!

160
00:07:50,736 --> 00:07:52,471
The problem is,
no one knows much about it.

161
00:07:52,572 --> 00:07:53,438
According to my mom,

162
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:55,407
he never talked
about the actress.

163
00:07:55,508 --> 00:07:57,976
Well, maybe not to your mom.

164
00:07:58,077 --> 00:07:59,177
Look, you want
to be a journalist, right?

165
00:07:59,278 --> 00:08:01,179
So go investigate...

166
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,648
And would you please get
that angel a Christmas tree?

167
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:04,916
She works one month
out of the year.

168
00:08:05,017 --> 00:08:06,751
Don't deprive her!

169
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:09,387
Even if I wanted to,
I can't, remember?

170
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:10,789
No backyard.

171
00:08:11,757 --> 00:08:12,891
Oh, right.

172
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:16,127
Your wacky family custom...
Outdoor Christmas trees only.

173
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:18,129
Who started
that brilliant idea, anyway?

174
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:20,866
Mm, my great-great-grandfather,

175
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:22,367
ages ago, in wales.

176
00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:24,936
"So the tree
could look up to God."

177
00:08:25,037 --> 00:08:26,771
That part's actually
sort of nice.

178
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:27,973
Yeah, it is.

179
00:08:28,074 --> 00:08:30,208
Sweetie,
you nail this article,

180
00:08:30,309 --> 00:08:31,843
the sky's the limit.

181
00:08:31,944 --> 00:08:34,880
Wow, you are an optimist.

182
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:36,581
Gotta think
outside the box, sister.

183
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:44,689
♪ Silent night ♪

184
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,875
- Hi. How's that pitch coming?
- Oh!

185
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:07,245
Fabulous, yvette...
Fabulous.

186
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:08,213
Uh, can't wait for you
to read it.

187
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:09,881
And I can't wait, period.

188
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:11,983
If it's not on my desk tomorrow,
I look elsewhere. Understood?

189
00:09:12,084 --> 00:09:13,285
Mm-hmm.

190
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:16,888
You know,
for "the queen of Christmas,"

191
00:09:16,989 --> 00:09:18,189
you're a little light
on your decorations.

192
00:09:37,476 --> 00:09:38,577
Mm...

193
00:09:55,861 --> 00:09:57,495
Okay...

194
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:58,930
You win.

195
00:10:26,158 --> 00:10:27,125
I read your pitch.

196
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:34,466
You hated it.
Message received.

197
00:10:34,567 --> 00:10:36,635
Maybe I'm not meant
to be a writer after all...

198
00:10:36,736 --> 00:10:38,136
And you know what?

199
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:39,971
That's okay
because I'm thinking,

200
00:10:40,072 --> 00:10:40,939
maybe I should just quit
altogether...

201
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,040
Susan, I liked it.

202
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:43,375
Just pack up my stuff...
Wait, what?

203
00:10:43,476 --> 00:10:44,909
What'd you just say?

204
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:46,911
I said, I liked it!

205
00:10:47,013 --> 00:10:47,946
It's good!

206
00:10:48,047 --> 00:10:48,913
It's the perfect
Christmas piece.

207
00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:50,682
It has hope, love,
enchantment...

208
00:10:50,783 --> 00:10:53,018
And a teaspoon of mystery
to Polish it off.

209
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:55,854
Best of all?
It's true.

210
00:10:55,955 --> 00:10:59,391
Wow...
Yvette, I'm so glad.

211
00:10:59,492 --> 00:11:00,458
Of course,
you could drive a truck

212
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,293
through the holes
in the story.

213
00:11:02,395 --> 00:11:05,196
Number one, who was this actress
your great-grandfather loved,

214
00:11:05,297 --> 00:11:06,231
and whatever became of her?

215
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,599
I will find out everything.

216
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,034
And I don't need
to remind you

217
00:11:09,135 --> 00:11:10,135
that you need an ending.

218
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:12,270
"Angel comes full circle,
family mystery solved,"

219
00:11:12,371 --> 00:11:13,238
that sort of thing.

220
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:15,640
There's a great ending here.
I know it.

221
00:11:16,609 --> 00:11:17,909
3,000 words by December 24th.

222
00:11:18,911 --> 00:11:21,212
Thanks, yvette!
Thank you.

223
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:24,649
So?

224
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,184
How'd it go?

225
00:11:26,285 --> 00:11:28,720
She actually used
the word "perfect."

226
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:30,622
Oh my gosh,
that's fantastic!

227
00:11:30,723 --> 00:11:32,457
See, I told you
it would happen!

228
00:11:32,558 --> 00:11:33,558
What's "fantastic?"

229
00:11:33,659 --> 00:11:34,693
Susan's writing
the new feature

230
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:35,927
for the Christmas day issue.

231
00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:38,396
Ambitious.
I like that. Congratulations.

232
00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:39,664
Thank you!

233
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:41,833
Right back at you, Mr. new
vice president of advertising.

234
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:44,235
We should go out
and celebrate our victories.

235
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:46,271
Cafe solana?
Tomorrow night?

236
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,672
Doesn't that place have,
like, a six-month wait?

237
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:49,174
The owner's
an old family friend.

238
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:51,443
That's a really tempting offer,
thank you,

239
00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:53,178
but I've got
a lot of work to do.

240
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,145
No problem.

241
00:11:54,246 --> 00:11:55,914
If you change your mind,
let me know.

242
00:11:58,084 --> 00:11:59,284
"I've got a lot
of work to do?"

243
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:00,285
What?

244
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:01,653
I can't go out with
someone I work with.

245
00:12:01,754 --> 00:12:02,787
Steve worked here.

246
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:05,457
And there you have it.

247
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:06,925
I gotta go...
3,000 words to write!

248
00:12:31,117 --> 00:12:31,983
So, I just have to figure out

249
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:33,318
how my great-grandpa
met this actress,

250
00:12:33,419 --> 00:12:34,819
who she was,

251
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,187
why he carved her the angel
for her,

252
00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:37,822
and why they broke up.

253
00:12:37,923 --> 00:12:39,557
Piece of cake, right?

254
00:12:39,658 --> 00:12:41,092
My money's on you...

255
00:12:41,193 --> 00:12:42,994
And the magic angel you carry
around with you, of course.

256
00:12:43,095 --> 00:12:44,395
Oh, stop it.

257
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,597
I just didn't want
to leave it at work.

258
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:46,798
It's not magic.

259
00:12:46,899 --> 00:12:47,799
Ugh, I forgot...

260
00:12:47,900 --> 00:12:50,235
I promised I'd go
to this gallery opening.

261
00:12:50,336 --> 00:12:51,202
Wait, come with me!

262
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:53,471
What? No, hayley,
I have to get home

263
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:54,472
and start my research.

264
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:55,607
Oh, come on,
it's right around the corner.

265
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,242
- Five minutes.
- No, no, no, no, no.

266
00:12:57,343 --> 00:12:58,243
Come on.
You're coming with me.

267
00:12:58,344 --> 00:12:59,177
But, but... no!

268
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:00,178
You're coming with me!

269
00:13:12,691 --> 00:13:13,758
This is interesting...

270
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:17,996
Look at this...

271
00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:20,799
"Broadway at Christmas, 1925."

272
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:22,700
That actress was probably
starring in a play

273
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,235
right then and there!

274
00:13:24,336 --> 00:13:25,236
Hmm...

275
00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:27,505
I never thought of them
meeting in New York.

276
00:13:27,606 --> 00:13:29,174
See how much more
you already know?

277
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:32,177
Oh, look at this one!

278
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:37,816
This one's
my favorite.

279
00:13:37,917 --> 00:13:39,851
I especially dig how the light
is cast on the lovers' faces,

280
00:13:39,952 --> 00:13:40,885
and it's all reflected

281
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:42,086
in the store window's
Christmas display.

282
00:13:43,088 --> 00:13:44,055
Coffee shop guy?

283
00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:46,891
Newspaper girl!

284
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:48,560
Wait, you two
know each other?

285
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:49,594
No, not really.

286
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:50,929
Well, we crossed swords
the other day

287
00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:52,063
at the brewing station

288
00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:54,432
'cause I like "deck the halls,"
and she does not.

289
00:13:56,368 --> 00:13:57,836
Uh, Brady howe,
assistant gallery manager

290
00:13:57,937 --> 00:14:00,338
and artist in residence.

291
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:01,406
Mm.

292
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:03,842
Oh, yikes, I'm sorry.

293
00:14:06,579 --> 00:14:07,712
Yep.

294
00:14:09,615 --> 00:14:10,949
Hi. I'm hayley.

295
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:12,183
Hi.

296
00:14:12,284 --> 00:14:13,284
Tell the nice man your name,
sweetie.

297
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:15,787
Oh, Susan.
Susan Nicholas. Hello.

298
00:14:17,489 --> 00:14:19,991
So, "artist in residence."
What does that mean exactly?

299
00:14:20,092 --> 00:14:21,826
Uh, basically means

300
00:14:21,927 --> 00:14:23,695
that the gallery owners
let me use their storeroom

301
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:24,796
to work on my masterpieces...

302
00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:27,599
That is, when I'm not hosting
gallery openings

303
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:28,566
and giving my two cents

304
00:14:28,667 --> 00:14:29,534
about what's hanging
on the walls.

305
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:31,703
Your "masterpieces"?

306
00:14:31,804 --> 00:14:33,238
Well, you've got to aim high.

307
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,640
Anybody want a guided tour?

308
00:14:35,741 --> 00:14:37,675
Oh, yeah, it's just so late... I
feel like...

309
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:38,643
We'd love one.

310
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:39,611
Uh, yes.

311
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:41,312
Awesome.
Follow me.

312
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,714
Great, great.

313
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:50,388
And this one's is called
"Christmas at the white house,

314
00:14:50,489 --> 00:14:51,923
1955..."

315
00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:55,894
Even though it's really just
a white house in Ohio somewhere,

316
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:57,295
but what's cool about it

317
00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:58,496
is the way that the light
lands in a way...

318
00:14:58,597 --> 00:14:59,764
It looks like it's daytime above
the house,

319
00:14:59,865 --> 00:15:01,199
but night time below.

320
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:02,400
Exactly!

321
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:04,969
Uh, hayley,
we really have to go.

322
00:15:05,070 --> 00:15:07,238
But Brady's not done yet.
Are you, Brady?

323
00:15:07,339 --> 00:15:08,406
Honestly,

324
00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:09,374
I could talk about this stuff
for days,

325
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:10,341
so you should probably
get out of here

326
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:11,342
while you have the chance.

327
00:15:11,443 --> 00:15:13,645
Okay, well,
thank you for the tour.

328
00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:15,179
You are a wealth
of information.

329
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:16,648
It was a pleasure.

330
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:17,982
Um...

331
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:19,951
There's one important thing
I don't know, though.

332
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:21,319
Uh, what's that?

333
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,855
Whether or not I could take you
for an adult drink sometime.

334
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:25,723
Wh...

335
00:15:25,824 --> 00:15:26,691
Martini?

336
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:27,892
Wine?

337
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:29,727
Eggnog if you're into the whole
seasonal beverage thing?

338
00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:32,063
Please don't make me drink
alone.

339
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:34,832
Does that line really work
for you?

340
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,367
Don't know.
Does it?

341
00:15:36,468 --> 00:15:38,770
Mm... not so much.

342
00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:39,737
Pity.

343
00:15:39,838 --> 00:15:40,872
I'm excellent company.

344
00:15:46,145 --> 00:15:47,145
Taxi!

345
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,149
Are you insane?
He was adorable!

346
00:15:51,250 --> 00:15:52,483
I don't trust artsy types.

347
00:15:52,584 --> 00:15:54,385
I'm an artsy type!

348
00:15:54,486 --> 00:15:55,687
Are we dating?

349
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:56,654
You're not dating anyone!

350
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:58,222
There is nothing on earth

351
00:15:58,324 --> 00:16:00,158
that could make me
consider that idea.

352
00:16:00,259 --> 00:16:01,192
Hey, hey!

353
00:16:03,028 --> 00:16:04,529
Sorry for invading
your umbrella space.

354
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:05,997
You forgot this
in the coat room.

355
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:08,032
Oh...
Uh, thank you.

356
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:09,667
No problem.

357
00:16:09,768 --> 00:16:11,135
Nice meeting you.

358
00:16:13,739 --> 00:16:15,373
Absolutely nothing
on earth, huh?

359
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:24,015
Hello.
She's coming.

360
00:16:24,116 --> 00:16:25,249
Oh! Coming!

361
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,690
I see someone's getting
her caffeine fix.

362
00:16:32,791 --> 00:16:33,825
Hi, Derek.

363
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:35,093
Yeah, 3:00 rolls around,

364
00:16:35,194 --> 00:16:37,662
and it's either this
or a power nap...

365
00:16:37,763 --> 00:16:38,596
And since
no one ever got a raise

366
00:16:38,697 --> 00:16:40,531
by dozing in their cubicle...

367
00:16:40,632 --> 00:16:42,100
Say no more.
I'm with you.

368
00:16:43,102 --> 00:16:44,035
How's your Christmas story
going?

369
00:16:45,471 --> 00:16:47,005
You all swept up
in the holiday spirit?

370
00:16:48,407 --> 00:16:50,875
Not sure "swept up"
would exactly describe it.

371
00:16:50,976 --> 00:16:53,678
Anyway,
I'm still in research mode.

372
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:55,747
How about you?
Are you a holiday kind of a guy?

373
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:57,215
Can I be completely honest
with you?

374
00:16:57,316 --> 00:16:58,549
Mm-hmm.

375
00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:00,385
I'm not a big fan
of Christmas or new year's.

376
00:17:00,486 --> 00:17:01,886
Really?

377
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:04,889
It all feels so forced
and manufactured.

378
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:06,324
I mostly can't wait
for the week to pass

379
00:17:06,425 --> 00:17:09,694
so I can get back on schedule
and back to work...

380
00:17:09,795 --> 00:17:10,962
And I know it's early December,

381
00:17:11,063 --> 00:17:13,464
but if I have to hear
"deck the halls" one more time,

382
00:17:13,565 --> 00:17:14,732
I can't be responsible
for my actions.

383
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:17,802
A man after my own heart.

384
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:22,273
I mean...

385
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,075
I feel your pain.

386
00:17:24,176 --> 00:17:25,777
Hey, enjoy your coffee!

387
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:30,081
Ugh...

388
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,807
Hey there!

389
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,476
What? What?
Hi, Brady! Hi.

390
00:17:58,577 --> 00:17:59,744
Susan Nicholas.

391
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:00,745
Leaving so soon?

392
00:18:00,846 --> 00:18:02,180
What? No, no, no.

393
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:03,414
I mean,
I didn't even see you here.

394
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,482
I was just walking...

395
00:18:06,652 --> 00:18:08,219
That is a lovely angel.

396
00:18:09,988 --> 00:18:11,956
Careful, she sees all
and knows all.

397
00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:13,825
If you believe in angels.

398
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,326
Let me guess... you don't.

399
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:17,095
Let me guess...
You do.

400
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:19,263
Well, in art,
angels are everywhere,

401
00:18:19,364 --> 00:18:20,698
so it's hard not to.

402
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:25,002
So what are you doing here
other than window watching?

403
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,872
Actually, I was about
to pop in somewhere warm.

404
00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:28,840
You up for that drink?

405
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:31,509
Oh, no,
I have to get home.

406
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:32,777
Work to do for tomorrow.

407
00:18:33,912 --> 00:18:35,546
Yet here we are...

408
00:18:35,647 --> 00:18:37,615
You, me... an angel.

409
00:18:37,716 --> 00:18:39,550
Something's going on.

410
00:18:39,651 --> 00:18:40,952
Come on, one drink.

411
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,321
Then you can go back and be
the responsible employee.

412
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:47,091
You know,
you have paint on your nose.

413
00:18:49,294 --> 00:18:50,261
Kidding.

414
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:53,631
I'm going to take that
as a yes.

415
00:19:01,907 --> 00:19:03,908
It warms the cockles
of me heart.

416
00:19:04,009 --> 00:19:05,276
Best Irish coffee in the city.

417
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:10,148
Sorry,
just a little crazy in here,

418
00:19:10,249 --> 00:19:11,983
and I've got a lot on my mind.

419
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:13,684
Everybody needs
to relax sometimes.

420
00:19:13,785 --> 00:19:16,254
That's not a word
on my schedule right now.

421
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:18,189
Is it ever?

422
00:19:20,058 --> 00:19:22,927
Brady, with all due respect,
you don't know me.

423
00:19:23,028 --> 00:19:24,795
No, um...

424
00:19:24,897 --> 00:19:25,763
I'm trying to.

425
00:19:25,864 --> 00:19:27,165
Want to give me a hand here?

426
00:19:29,034 --> 00:19:30,067
Fine...

427
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:31,602
I'm kind of stressed out

428
00:19:31,703 --> 00:19:33,771
about this Christmas article
I'm doing.

429
00:19:34,873 --> 00:19:36,574
So you're writing.
That's great.

430
00:19:36,675 --> 00:19:37,842
Your wish came true.

431
00:19:37,943 --> 00:19:39,310
I feel like I'm driving
without a map.

432
00:19:39,411 --> 00:19:41,212
I mean,
I know where I have to go,

433
00:19:41,313 --> 00:19:44,081
I just don't know how,
or even if I'll get there.

434
00:19:45,450 --> 00:19:47,885
Enjoy the ride...
The destination will unfold.

435
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:51,189
And did you just
make that up now,

436
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:52,356
or steal it
from an old "Star Trek?"

437
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:54,659
That's funny.

438
00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:59,697
So, tell me
about your art.

439
00:19:59,798 --> 00:20:01,732
What are you working on?

440
00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:04,001
Oh... all kinds of stuff.

441
00:20:04,102 --> 00:20:06,404
Portraits, landscapes...

442
00:20:06,505 --> 00:20:07,538
Abstracts.

443
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:09,807
Sculptures, mosaics,
mixed-media... you name it.

444
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,342
Well, at least
you've narrowed it down.

445
00:20:11,443 --> 00:20:13,578
Choice is
one of life's great luxuries.

446
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:17,081
You think you'll choose
to run your own gallery one day?

447
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:20,084
No idea.

448
00:20:20,185 --> 00:20:22,320
Have a buddy, Zack...
He found a space a while back.

449
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:24,288
He thought we could go in
on one together...

450
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:26,357
But I don't know.
I just...

451
00:20:26,458 --> 00:20:28,192
I want to create.
I want to stay liberated.

452
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:30,161
Yeah...

453
00:20:30,262 --> 00:20:31,495
But think about it...

454
00:20:31,597 --> 00:20:32,663
If you had your own gallery,
you could show your work

455
00:20:32,764 --> 00:20:34,198
without anyone else's
permission.

456
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,801
That's liberation.

457
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,473
It's good, right?

458
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:43,441
It's not bad.

459
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:48,279
Well, if it doesn't work out
with your article,

460
00:20:48,380 --> 00:20:49,981
at least you have Christmas
to look forward to.

461
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,583
Mm...

462
00:20:52,684 --> 00:20:54,285
Okay.

463
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:56,153
Let's just say I have
a complicated relationship

464
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,755
with Christmas.

465
00:20:57,856 --> 00:20:58,990
Have you seen
a couples' counselor?

466
00:20:59,091 --> 00:20:59,991
I tried.

467
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,659
Santa kept missing
the appointment.

468
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,028
Something about
his "busy season?" I don't know.

469
00:21:04,129 --> 00:21:05,796
I'm all about Christmas.

470
00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:07,131
Yeah? You should
meet my mother.

471
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:09,567
On second thought...

472
00:21:09,668 --> 00:21:10,735
Hey, what are you doing
tomorrow night?

473
00:21:12,704 --> 00:21:13,971
Brady...

474
00:21:14,072 --> 00:21:15,673
This was nice.

475
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:17,508
I mean, you're...
Interesting.

476
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:22,546
I just don't have room
in my life right now.

477
00:21:22,648 --> 00:21:24,382
I just asked you what
you were doing tomorrow night.

478
00:21:24,483 --> 00:21:27,451
How do you know?
Maybe I'm taking a poll.

479
00:21:27,552 --> 00:21:29,053
What are you doing
tomorrow night?

480
00:21:32,924 --> 00:21:33,858
Thanks for the drink.

481
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:38,829
Bye, Brady.

482
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:40,097
See you.

483
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,214
Susie q!

484
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:58,783
Hi, grandpa!
Sorry I'm late.

485
00:21:59,751 --> 00:22:00,685
I'm just glad you made it.

486
00:22:01,953 --> 00:22:03,187
I was afraid you might
need a passport

487
00:22:03,288 --> 00:22:05,122
to come all the way out
to long island.

488
00:22:06,191 --> 00:22:08,426
Well, I don't know exactly
what I'm looking for, anyway.

489
00:22:08,527 --> 00:22:10,961
Just some history
of great grandpa Owen's life...

490
00:22:14,066 --> 00:22:15,032
Whoa.

491
00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:17,034
Like my organizing system?

492
00:22:17,135 --> 00:22:20,304
You really don't throw
anything away, do you?

493
00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:21,739
Yep... ever since
your grandma rose passed,

494
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,575
I...

495
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:26,544
Yeah, I kind of just
let things pile up.

496
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:28,579
Uh, your great grandpa
Owen's stuff

497
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,649
should be
in one of these boxes.

498
00:22:33,218 --> 00:22:34,385
Not there.

499
00:22:36,521 --> 00:22:37,955
Oh, boy...

500
00:22:39,091 --> 00:22:40,758
I haven't seen this thing
in ages.

501
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:41,959
I remember that.

502
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:43,327
Yeah, it was
grandma's favorite.

503
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:44,862
She painted it herself.

504
00:22:46,131 --> 00:22:47,531
Well...

505
00:22:47,632 --> 00:22:48,999
Our family loves
its angels, huh?

506
00:22:49,101 --> 00:22:50,968
Oh, yeah.

507
00:22:51,069 --> 00:22:53,504
Does your mom still have
the family angel?

508
00:22:53,605 --> 00:22:55,940
Actually...
She gave it to me.

509
00:22:56,041 --> 00:22:58,209
That's kind of what got
this whole thing started.

510
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:59,276
Mm.

511
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:03,647
Yeah, my dad was so proud
of that thing.

512
00:23:07,018 --> 00:23:09,920
He used to say it was...
"It was made with love."

513
00:23:11,289 --> 00:23:13,958
<i>He carved it back in 1926.</i>

514
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:16,694
<i>He spent weeks working on it,</i>
<i>as I recall.</i>

515
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:19,730
<i>He wanted to get every detail</i>
<i>just right.</i>

516
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:22,833
Did he ever talk about
the woman he carved it for?

517
00:23:22,934 --> 00:23:24,135
That actress?

518
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:28,005
The actress...

519
00:23:28,106 --> 00:23:29,640
Of course!

520
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:33,677
Fashioned the angel
after her...

521
00:23:33,779 --> 00:23:34,745
Especially the eyes.

522
00:23:35,981 --> 00:23:39,116
At least... that was
what he told us.

523
00:23:39,217 --> 00:23:40,584
Any idea how they met?

524
00:23:40,685 --> 00:23:42,153
How they met...

525
00:23:43,221 --> 00:23:44,188
How they met...

526
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:46,557
Actually, I do know.

527
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,427
It was Christmas time...

528
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:51,962
I want to say
around 1925.

529
00:23:53,198 --> 00:23:54,832
<i>My father took a trip</i>
<i>into Manhattan...</i>

530
00:23:57,035 --> 00:23:58,569
<i>And one night,</i>
<i>he went to see a play,</i>

531
00:23:58,637 --> 00:23:59,970
<i>on Broadway...</i>

532
00:24:02,874 --> 00:24:04,708
<i>...and it was there</i>
<i>that he laid his eyes</i>

533
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,912
<i>upon the most beautiful woman</i>
<i>he had ever seen.</i>

534
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:11,715
<i>She was an actress performing</i>
<i>in the play that night.</i>

535
00:24:16,221 --> 00:24:17,421
<i>I remember him telling me</i>

536
00:24:17,522 --> 00:24:21,091
<i>about her long, golden hair</i>
<i>and beautiful lavender eyes.</i>

537
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:24,895
<i>He said it looked as though</i>
<i>she were sent from heaven.</i>

538
00:24:46,852 --> 00:24:47,685
Yes? May I help you?

539
00:24:47,786 --> 00:24:49,653
I'm, uh, Owen Thomas.

540
00:24:49,754 --> 00:24:52,323
I'm visiting
from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

541
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:54,992
Oh, thank you.

542
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:57,161
Please don't be taken aback,

543
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:59,029
but I loved your performance
this evening,

544
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:00,264
and I also happen to think

545
00:25:00,365 --> 00:25:03,234
you're the most beautiful
woman I've ever seen.

546
00:25:04,636 --> 00:25:06,270
Well,
that's quite a declaration,

547
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:07,671
Owen Thomas from Bethlehem.

548
00:25:07,772 --> 00:25:09,573
I know...

549
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,408
And I realize
it's Christmas week,

550
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,277
but...

551
00:25:13,378 --> 00:25:14,512
If you have any free time,

552
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:15,613
I'd be honored
if you'd spend it with me

553
00:25:15,714 --> 00:25:16,714
while I'm here in New York.

554
00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:19,049
Wow...

555
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:21,485
That was a pretty bold move.

556
00:25:23,488 --> 00:25:26,156
It must've worked...
Because she said yes.

557
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:28,726
Unlike me, who would've filed
a restraining order.

558
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:31,128
Never turn your back on love,
susie q.

559
00:25:34,065 --> 00:25:35,499
You wouldn't happen
to remember the actress's name,

560
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,567
would you?

561
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:41,272
Nope, can't say that I do.

562
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:44,608
My father said they wrote
to each other for about a year,

563
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:46,010
but that was it.
He never mentioned it again.

564
00:25:46,111 --> 00:25:47,278
Really?

565
00:25:47,345 --> 00:25:48,946
Yep.

566
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:51,415
In fact, it usually took
a couple of slugs of scotch

567
00:25:51,516 --> 00:25:53,017
for him to bring it up
in the first place.

568
00:25:54,185 --> 00:25:55,819
Well...

569
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,423
Sorry it's such a mess.

570
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:03,260
So, do you think

571
00:26:03,361 --> 00:26:05,863
our family angel
has magic powers?

572
00:26:05,964 --> 00:26:07,164
Mom seems to think
it's the next best thing

573
00:26:07,265 --> 00:26:09,066
to having a matchmaker.

574
00:26:09,167 --> 00:26:11,602
Well, you know how I met
grandma rose, don't you?

575
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:13,871
In a supermarket, right?

576
00:26:13,972 --> 00:26:15,606
No. Hardware store.

577
00:26:15,707 --> 00:26:16,574
Oh.

578
00:26:16,675 --> 00:26:17,575
One Christmas Eve,

579
00:26:17,676 --> 00:26:20,544
I dropped the angel
and broke its nose.

580
00:26:20,645 --> 00:26:23,047
When I went out
to get some wood glue,

581
00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:25,015
who was in the next aisle
buying Christmas lights?

582
00:26:26,217 --> 00:26:28,018
Only the prettiest gal
I'd ever seen.

583
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:33,023
Coincidence?
Special powers?

584
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:34,725
Who knows...

585
00:26:34,826 --> 00:26:36,293
But I'm sure glad
I dropped the darn thing.

586
00:26:36,394 --> 00:26:38,128
Yeah.

587
00:26:39,564 --> 00:26:40,664
That moment changed my life.

588
00:27:00,151 --> 00:27:01,051
How's the
busiest bee in the hive?

589
00:27:01,152 --> 00:27:02,486
Oh, ha...

590
00:27:02,587 --> 00:27:03,787
New tie?

591
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:05,189
What's the occasion?

592
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:07,658
Wining and dining
some prospective advertisers.

593
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:08,626
Big spenders.

594
00:27:08,727 --> 00:27:10,561
Could help me reach
my annual goal.

595
00:27:10,662 --> 00:27:11,629
Goals are good.

596
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:12,796
Well, I've got
a million of them.

597
00:27:12,897 --> 00:27:15,666
Really? Name three.

598
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:16,667
Make v.P. By next year.

599
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:18,068
Buy a condo.

600
00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:19,403
Meet the woman of my dreams.

601
00:27:19,504 --> 00:27:21,105
That shouldn't be
too hard for you.

602
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:23,941
It is when she's too busy
to go out with me.

603
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:26,310
I meant, like,
to buy a condo.

604
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:29,213
What's with, um...

605
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:30,180
All the angels?

606
00:27:30,281 --> 00:27:31,582
Oh, yeah...

607
00:27:31,683 --> 00:27:32,549
They're for this article
I'm writing.

608
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:33,951
Long story.

609
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,420
The only angels I believe in
play in the baseball team.

610
00:27:37,489 --> 00:27:39,790
Mm-hmm, yeah.

611
00:27:39,891 --> 00:27:41,191
Yeah... oh!

612
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:44,261
My offer to celebrate
still stands, you know.

613
00:27:44,362 --> 00:27:46,797
We could go out...
Or stay in.

614
00:27:46,898 --> 00:27:48,732
I cook a superb branzino.

615
00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:51,602
Well...
I love branzino,

616
00:27:51,703 --> 00:27:53,637
but I love my job more.

617
00:27:53,738 --> 00:27:56,240
I need to focus
on this.

618
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:57,708
Gotcha...

619
00:27:57,809 --> 00:27:59,443
But we all have to eat,

620
00:27:59,544 --> 00:28:01,612
so call me
when you come up for air, okay?

621
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:04,748
Maybe.

622
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:12,456
No, no, no, no...

623
00:28:43,288 --> 00:28:45,989
Maybe... it... should... be...

624
00:29:56,094 --> 00:29:58,061
I already know
what you think I should do.

625
00:30:18,449 --> 00:30:19,883
Hmm...

626
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:21,451
Back to the scene
of the crime.

627
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:24,087
Interesting choice
of words.

628
00:30:26,457 --> 00:30:27,858
Glad you came.

629
00:30:27,959 --> 00:30:29,126
Why did you?

630
00:30:29,227 --> 00:30:31,628
I thought maybe if I did,
you'd finally leave me alone.

631
00:30:33,164 --> 00:30:34,198
That's as good
a reason as any.

632
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:36,834
So why am I here,
again?

633
00:30:37,936 --> 00:30:39,703
You, my new student,

634
00:30:39,804 --> 00:30:42,339
desperately need
your Christmas spirit back,

635
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,641
and I'm going to be your guide
to all things yuletide.

636
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:46,777
What if I say no?

637
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,345
Then you'll never
get rid of me...

638
00:30:48,446 --> 00:30:50,013
Unless you change
your cell phone.

639
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:50,981
That might work, too.

640
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:54,218
Where are we going?

641
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:55,419
It's a surprise.

642
00:30:55,486 --> 00:30:56,353
Oh, no. No, no, no.

643
00:30:56,454 --> 00:30:57,821
I'm not big
on surprises.

644
00:30:57,922 --> 00:30:59,790
Shocker!

645
00:30:59,891 --> 00:31:02,993
Well, kiss that boring chapter
of your life goodbye.

646
00:31:07,065 --> 00:31:08,765
This is
why I hate surprises.

647
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,067
Why,
'cause you might have fun?

648
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:13,570
No, because
I'm a total klutz.

649
00:31:13,671 --> 00:31:15,439
Oh, come on,
you're doing awesome.

650
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:16,473
Yeah...

651
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:18,375
I think I'll quit
while I'm ahead.

652
00:31:18,476 --> 00:31:20,744
Just take my hand.

653
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:22,212
Now who's got
commitment issues?

654
00:31:22,313 --> 00:31:23,213
Ah!

655
00:31:23,314 --> 00:31:24,248
Ooh!

656
00:31:26,517 --> 00:31:29,486
Brady, this isn't
the class I signed up for.

657
00:31:29,587 --> 00:31:31,121
What about
your Christmas spirit?

658
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:34,524
The world will live
without it.

659
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:36,326
Yeah, but will you?

660
00:32:05,456 --> 00:32:06,356
What's that,
your guardian angel?

661
00:32:06,457 --> 00:32:07,591
Oh! Oh...

662
00:32:07,692 --> 00:32:09,960
Oh, my gosh.
Derek, I'm so sorry!

663
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:11,094
Are you okay?

664
00:32:11,195 --> 00:32:12,562
Boy, I don't think
that angel likes me.

665
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:15,198
Uh, can I get you
a tissue or something?

666
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:16,533
No, no, no.
It's okay.

667
00:32:16,634 --> 00:32:17,634
It's fine, really.
I...

668
00:32:19,404 --> 00:32:20,404
Oh, great!

669
00:32:20,505 --> 00:32:22,973
Coffee
on my brand-new Hugo boss tie.

670
00:32:23,074 --> 00:32:24,107
There's 100 bucks
down the drain!

671
00:32:24,208 --> 00:32:25,676
Listen, I will pay
for that dry cleaning.

672
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,177
Susan,
you can't dry clean a tie.

673
00:32:27,278 --> 00:32:28,245
They're never the same.

674
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:31,581
What are you doing
with that thing, anyway?

675
00:32:31,683 --> 00:32:32,716
Uh, it's being photographed
for my article.

676
00:32:32,817 --> 00:32:34,818
Listen, I said I was sorry.

677
00:32:34,919 --> 00:32:36,153
Oh, Susan, good,
you're here.

678
00:32:36,254 --> 00:32:37,554
We're all set up for the...

679
00:32:37,655 --> 00:32:38,689
What happened to you?

680
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,524
Well, you could say
I was "touched by an angel."

681
00:32:42,126 --> 00:32:43,393
Hmm. Clumsy one,
from the looks of it.

682
00:32:43,494 --> 00:32:44,394
We're shooting in my office.

683
00:32:44,495 --> 00:32:46,096
Okay, I'll be right there.

684
00:32:47,298 --> 00:32:50,067
I just wanted to look good
for my new client meeting today.

685
00:32:50,201 --> 00:32:51,868
I know it was just an accident.

686
00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:55,639
Then again, maybe
there are no accidents, huh?

687
00:33:06,584 --> 00:33:08,719
Mom, come on...
You can't really believe

688
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:11,221
the angel was trying
to tell me something.

689
00:33:12,623 --> 00:33:13,623
Do you like this Derek?

690
00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:16,259
I might.

691
00:33:16,361 --> 00:33:17,427
I don't know, maybe a little...

692
00:33:17,528 --> 00:33:20,430
But since the tie incident,
I'm not so sure.

693
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:22,799
Well...

694
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:24,134
Angels see all
and know all.

695
00:33:26,037 --> 00:33:27,104
That's exactly
what Brady said.

696
00:33:28,072 --> 00:33:29,006
Smart man.

697
00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:33,443
Who's Brady?

698
00:33:34,712 --> 00:33:36,613
He's this artist I met.

699
00:33:36,714 --> 00:33:39,216
Really?

700
00:33:39,317 --> 00:33:40,183
Do you like him?

701
00:33:40,284 --> 00:33:41,985
Mom, I barely know him.

702
00:33:42,086 --> 00:33:44,287
That wasn't what I asked.

703
00:33:45,256 --> 00:33:47,557
Well, I'll say this...
He's different.

704
00:33:48,593 --> 00:33:49,960
Now, that sounds promising.

705
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,028
Okay, you're just saying that

706
00:33:51,129 --> 00:33:52,863
because he's male
and breathing.

707
00:33:54,098 --> 00:33:55,632
No.

708
00:33:55,733 --> 00:33:57,768
I'm saying it because
nothing would make me happier

709
00:33:57,869 --> 00:33:58,935
than to see
my only daughter happy...

710
00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:01,405
And don't thank me.

711
00:34:02,407 --> 00:34:03,340
It's my job.

712
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:53,156
So were you surprised
to get my text?

713
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:55,292
Probably not as surprised
as you were that you sent it.

714
00:34:55,393 --> 00:34:57,461
Oh, please,
I had a little writer's block.

715
00:34:57,562 --> 00:34:59,062
I thought
it might be good for me

716
00:34:59,163 --> 00:35:00,730
to get out.

717
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:02,165
Fair enough...

718
00:35:02,266 --> 00:35:04,901
So, um, how did you remember

719
00:35:05,002 --> 00:35:06,603
that you used to make
your own Christmas ornaments?

720
00:35:06,704 --> 00:35:07,604
Was that hypnosis?

721
00:35:07,705 --> 00:35:09,940
Regression therapy?

722
00:35:10,007 --> 00:35:11,408
Photographic memory...

723
00:35:11,509 --> 00:35:12,509
My mother's.

724
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:14,845
Well, what better place

725
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,180
to revisit your glory days
of ornament-making

726
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:18,315
than an art studio?

727
00:35:18,416 --> 00:35:20,884
Especially one that comes
with its very own artist.

728
00:35:20,985 --> 00:35:22,586
And a talented one at that.

729
00:35:23,754 --> 00:35:26,523
Why didn't you tell me
you were so good?

730
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:28,091
Oh...

731
00:35:28,192 --> 00:35:30,093
Probably all kinds of things
we haven't told each other.

732
00:35:32,497 --> 00:35:34,998
Worst part was...

733
00:35:35,099 --> 00:35:37,200
He left me
for our yoga instructor.

734
00:35:38,369 --> 00:35:40,971
Here I was, thinking,
"oh, it's so great!

735
00:35:41,072 --> 00:35:42,239
"Steve and I have
so much in common.

736
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,908
We even both love yoga!"

737
00:35:45,009 --> 00:35:47,844
Little did I know
what he loved was the teacher.

738
00:35:48,846 --> 00:35:50,647
That's a bummer.

739
00:35:50,748 --> 00:35:53,483
At least he left you
for a person, though.

740
00:35:53,584 --> 00:35:54,518
My last girlfriend, Anna,

741
00:35:54,619 --> 00:35:56,186
she said
that she would rather be alone

742
00:35:56,287 --> 00:35:57,387
than be with me.

743
00:35:57,488 --> 00:35:59,656
Ugh, that's awful.
You're not that bad.

744
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:01,491
Gee, thanks.

745
00:36:02,727 --> 00:36:04,928
I'm guessing
she didn't dump you

746
00:36:05,029 --> 00:36:06,429
on Christmas day.

747
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:08,265
He did?

748
00:36:08,366 --> 00:36:09,232
Yeah.

749
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:11,668
Yeesh, that's low.

750
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:13,236
No wonder
you're so weird about Christmas.

751
00:36:14,972 --> 00:36:17,140
I've always been kind of funky
about the holidays...

752
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:19,476
All that pressure
to enjoy yourself...

753
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:21,278
I know,
it's such a chore.

754
00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:24,714
After Steve,
it went into overdrive.

755
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:26,183
Well...

756
00:36:26,250 --> 00:36:29,252
When Anna left me,
I was a mess, but...

757
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:31,621
I realized...

758
00:36:31,722 --> 00:36:33,323
It wasn't really her
that I missed that much,

759
00:36:33,424 --> 00:36:34,891
it was just being
part of a couple, you know?

760
00:36:34,992 --> 00:36:35,959
A team.

761
00:36:37,428 --> 00:36:38,395
So I just told myself,

762
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:39,729
"I'm going to go out
and find someone better."

763
00:36:39,830 --> 00:36:42,098
Well, that's impressive.

764
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,601
Me, I just turned in
my yoga mat,

765
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:45,669
called it a day.

766
00:36:45,770 --> 00:36:47,704
Ha!

767
00:36:47,805 --> 00:36:50,173
Yoga's boring, anyway.
Nobody talks.

768
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:54,444
Rule number one,
no rulers.

769
00:36:54,545 --> 00:36:55,445
What? Why?

770
00:36:55,546 --> 00:36:56,913
I don't want
a lopsided gingerbread house.

771
00:36:57,014 --> 00:36:58,515
Just eyeball the pieces
and glue them together.

772
00:36:58,616 --> 00:36:59,482
It's not supposed
to be perfect.

773
00:36:59,584 --> 00:37:01,284
It's supposed
to be handmade.

774
00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,252
See?

775
00:37:02,353 --> 00:37:04,187
No, see, that's just goofy.

776
00:37:05,289 --> 00:37:06,523
I know, right?

777
00:37:09,026 --> 00:37:10,227
So, um...

778
00:37:10,328 --> 00:37:12,862
I was thinking
about what you said...

779
00:37:12,964 --> 00:37:16,299
About running
my own gallery.

780
00:37:17,268 --> 00:37:19,135
It kind of
makes sense.

781
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,972
And you're not worried
this might qualify

782
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:24,507
as an actual life plan?

783
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:25,575
Nope.

784
00:37:25,676 --> 00:37:28,378
I don't make plans...
I... "Envision."

785
00:37:28,479 --> 00:37:31,147
Oh, well,
I stand corrected.

786
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,582
Miss neat,

787
00:37:32,683 --> 00:37:34,117
you've got a little spot
of paint on your face there.

788
00:37:34,218 --> 00:37:35,986
- Where? Here?
- Just...

789
00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:37,287
Here?

790
00:37:37,388 --> 00:37:39,022
There. Here.

791
00:37:43,227 --> 00:37:44,527
There you go.

792
00:37:46,330 --> 00:37:47,464
Good as new.

793
00:37:49,033 --> 00:37:50,000
Thanks.

794
00:38:14,825 --> 00:38:15,792
Mm!

795
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:18,328
Who are those from?

796
00:38:18,429 --> 00:38:19,396
Oh...

797
00:38:20,531 --> 00:38:23,333
"Sorry I snapped.
Please forgive me. Derek."

798
00:38:23,434 --> 00:38:24,434
Nice move.
Point, Derek.

799
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:28,772
I saw Brady again
yesterday.

800
00:38:28,873 --> 00:38:29,939
Point, Brady!

801
00:38:30,041 --> 00:38:31,308
And?

802
00:38:31,409 --> 00:38:32,609
And nothing.

803
00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:33,810
We made Christmas ornaments...

804
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:34,778
And...

805
00:38:34,879 --> 00:38:36,513
And...

806
00:38:36,614 --> 00:38:37,647
He and his favorite bottle
of wine

807
00:38:37,748 --> 00:38:38,648
are coming over later.

808
00:38:38,749 --> 00:38:40,583
I have no idea
what I'm doing.

809
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:41,618
You don't have to know.
You're just hanging out.

810
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:42,585
This is good.

811
00:38:42,687 --> 00:38:43,953
It is?

812
00:38:44,055 --> 00:38:46,656
Because it's feeling
a little whirlwind to me.

813
00:38:46,757 --> 00:38:47,624
Yeah?

814
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:48,725
Lucky you.

815
00:38:57,468 --> 00:38:58,935
Grandpa?
Everything okay?

816
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:01,938
Spring cleaning?
In December?

817
00:39:03,474 --> 00:39:07,677
I figured your grandma's
been gone three years now.

818
00:39:07,778 --> 00:39:09,713
She would have wanted me
to downsize a bit.

819
00:39:10,881 --> 00:39:14,351
Must say, it was quite
the trip down memory Lane.

820
00:39:14,452 --> 00:39:15,719
Wha... grandpa!

821
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:18,154
How in the world
did you do this?

822
00:39:18,255 --> 00:39:20,090
Well, the neighbor kid
needed some Christmas money,

823
00:39:20,191 --> 00:39:21,358
so I hired him as my assistant.

824
00:39:21,459 --> 00:39:24,094
Don't tell anyone,
but he did most of the work!

825
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:27,864
I found this box
stuck in a corner.

826
00:39:27,965 --> 00:39:31,167
It's just a bunch
of old ledgers, invoices...

827
00:39:31,268 --> 00:39:32,268
But...

828
00:39:33,404 --> 00:39:34,704
There was also this.

829
00:39:40,111 --> 00:39:40,944
A blueprint?

830
00:39:41,045 --> 00:39:42,379
Yeah.

831
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:43,613
Of what?

832
00:39:43,714 --> 00:39:45,982
As soon as I saw it,
I remembered

833
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:48,451
a whole other part of that story
my father told me.

834
00:39:49,420 --> 00:39:50,520
Want to hear?

835
00:39:51,522 --> 00:39:52,622
Yes, I want to hear!

836
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:56,226
Well...

837
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:57,460
That first Christmas week
in New York,

838
00:39:57,561 --> 00:40:01,064
before my dad went back home,
he came up with a plan...

839
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:04,868
Next Christmas,

840
00:40:04,969 --> 00:40:07,170
I'd like to come back
to New York...

841
00:40:07,271 --> 00:40:09,939
And bring you home with me,
to Bethlehem.

842
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,910
Owen,
that's a whole year away...

843
00:40:14,011 --> 00:40:15,979
And what exactly
will you be doing all that time?

844
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,547
Building a cabin for us...

845
00:40:17,648 --> 00:40:20,617
With a Christmas tree
outside the front door,

846
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,721
Owen...

847
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:26,256
That sounds so beautiful...

848
00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:30,493
And I'm so flattered,
really and truly...

849
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:33,830
But...

850
00:40:33,931 --> 00:40:37,267
My life is here, in New York.

851
00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:40,737
Maybe so, and I know
you love what you do...

852
00:40:42,339 --> 00:40:44,808
But next year at this time...

853
00:40:44,909 --> 00:40:46,810
I'm hoping you'll say yes.

854
00:40:48,913 --> 00:40:51,181
And this was his design
for the cottage?

855
00:40:51,282 --> 00:40:52,515
Drew it himself.

856
00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:54,217
See his initials
here in the corner?

857
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:56,352
Yeah.
Did he ever build it?

858
00:40:57,354 --> 00:40:59,556
Well, if he did,
I never saw it.

859
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:01,958
Oh!

860
00:41:03,527 --> 00:41:04,828
I found something else...

861
00:41:08,332 --> 00:41:10,633
My parents' wedding picture.

862
00:41:10,734 --> 00:41:12,268
What a lovely couple.

863
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:13,670
Your mother was so beautiful.

864
00:41:13,771 --> 00:41:14,671
Yeah.

865
00:41:14,772 --> 00:41:16,673
"As beautiful
inside as out."

866
00:41:17,908 --> 00:41:19,042
That's what my dad used to say.

867
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:21,578
She'd have to be
to accept that angel he carved

868
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:23,179
with his ex-girlfriend's eyes!

869
00:41:24,548 --> 00:41:26,416
In fact, it was
because of my mom

870
00:41:26,517 --> 00:41:27,484
that he even kept the angel.

871
00:41:27,585 --> 00:41:28,785
How do you mean?

872
00:41:28,886 --> 00:41:32,222
Well, if I remember correctly,

873
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:34,224
it was on the day
they first met,

874
00:41:34,325 --> 00:41:36,426
at their church,
back in Bethlehem...

875
00:41:38,262 --> 00:41:39,229
Excuse me?

876
00:41:40,931 --> 00:41:42,031
Hello!

877
00:41:42,132 --> 00:41:42,999
Can I help you?

878
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:44,701
Is pastor Boyd here?

879
00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:46,269
No...

880
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:48,037
I'm Maggie,
the new church secretary.

881
00:41:48,138 --> 00:41:50,006
Well, um,

882
00:41:50,107 --> 00:41:51,875
Maggie, I'd like
to give this angel

883
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:53,576
to the church,

884
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:55,345
for their Christmas tree.

885
00:41:55,446 --> 00:41:57,780
It's top quality,
handmade.

886
00:41:57,882 --> 00:41:59,716
Let me guess... by you?

887
00:41:59,817 --> 00:42:01,584
How did you know?

888
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:03,620
The way you're holding her.

889
00:42:03,721 --> 00:42:05,088
So proud...

890
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:06,356
Like she's a part of you.

891
00:42:08,192 --> 00:42:09,592
Well, she was, but...

892
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:10,994
Not anymore.

893
00:42:12,129 --> 00:42:13,296
Would you like her?

894
00:42:13,397 --> 00:42:14,264
It's very generous,

895
00:42:14,365 --> 00:42:17,267
and I'm sure pastor Boyd
would be grateful...

896
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:18,334
But just between us...

897
00:42:19,670 --> 00:42:20,537
Why would you want

898
00:42:20,638 --> 00:42:22,605
to give away
something so beautiful?

899
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,574
You should keep her.
She'll bring you luck.

900
00:42:24,675 --> 00:42:26,342
She already has...

901
00:42:26,443 --> 00:42:27,477
Bad luck.

902
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:31,514
Can I make
a suggestion, um...

903
00:42:31,615 --> 00:42:33,850
Owen! Uh...
Owen Thomas.

904
00:42:33,951 --> 00:42:36,586
Okay, Owen Thomas.

905
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:38,254
Here's what I think.

906
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:40,990
Why not keep the angel
until next Christmas?

907
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:42,825
If she doesn't bring you
better luck,

908
00:42:42,927 --> 00:42:44,894
then you can come back
and leave her here with us.

909
00:42:47,064 --> 00:42:49,198
Something tells me
my luck is changing already.

910
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:52,769
<i>And it sure did.</i>

911
00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:54,637
<i>Six months later,</i>
<i>they were married.</i>

912
00:43:01,178 --> 00:43:04,714
So I guess you could say
the angel brought them together.

913
00:43:06,450 --> 00:43:08,885
I mean...
Sort of, in a way.

914
00:43:08,986 --> 00:43:12,355
Honey, take it
from your old grandpa...

915
00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:14,691
If you want to believe,
you have to take a leap...

916
00:43:17,094 --> 00:43:18,795
But look too close,

917
00:43:18,896 --> 00:43:20,229
and the magic's gone...

918
00:43:22,433 --> 00:43:24,968
And, really,
where's the fun in that?

919
00:43:31,041 --> 00:43:33,610
Blueprint aside,
it's just random stuff.

920
00:43:33,711 --> 00:43:34,877
No clues
about the actress...

921
00:43:34,979 --> 00:43:37,480
Unless this carburetor
receipt from 1958

922
00:43:37,548 --> 00:43:38,715
has some hidden meaning!

923
00:43:41,518 --> 00:43:42,752
Well, lookee here...

924
00:43:42,853 --> 00:43:45,388
Baby susie with
great-grandpa Owen.

925
00:43:46,523 --> 00:43:48,191
You were adorable...

926
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:49,192
Of course.

927
00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,294
He died
when I was two.

928
00:43:51,395 --> 00:43:52,895
I just wish
I could've gotten to know him.

929
00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:54,797
Yeah, he could've told you
about the actress first hand,

930
00:43:54,898 --> 00:43:55,898
saved you
all the research.

931
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,668
Right now, I'd just settle
for knowing her name.

932
00:44:00,070 --> 00:44:00,937
I used to have
an old relative

933
00:44:01,038 --> 00:44:03,139
that acted
in the theater, too...

934
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:04,507
According to
my parents, anyway.

935
00:44:04,608 --> 00:44:05,775
Yeah?

936
00:44:05,876 --> 00:44:08,011
I think every family has
at least one starry-eyed member

937
00:44:08,112 --> 00:44:09,746
who tried acting
at some point.

938
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:12,448
Hey, look at this.

939
00:44:13,884 --> 00:44:16,386
"Opening night crowd
enjoys the Christmas surprise."

940
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:19,288
December 3rd, 1926.

941
00:44:19,390 --> 00:44:20,456
His second Christmas
in New York.

942
00:44:20,557 --> 00:44:23,292
Wait, is that...?

943
00:44:23,394 --> 00:44:25,962
I think that's
my great grandfather.

944
00:44:26,063 --> 00:44:27,063
Well, at least
we know he was there.

945
00:44:28,399 --> 00:44:29,332
We still don't know

946
00:44:29,433 --> 00:44:31,834
the name of the actress
he fell for.

947
00:44:31,902 --> 00:44:34,037
Google the title,
see what comes up.

948
00:44:38,575 --> 00:44:40,843
"The Christmas surprise."

949
00:44:42,513 --> 00:44:43,846
Premiered on Broadway, 1926

950
00:44:43,947 --> 00:44:46,282
at the orpheum theater
in Manhattan.

951
00:44:46,383 --> 00:44:47,350
That's all it says.

952
00:44:48,352 --> 00:44:49,652
It's a dead end.

953
00:44:49,753 --> 00:44:50,720
Not necessarily.

954
00:44:50,821 --> 00:44:52,255
That theater's still there.

955
00:44:52,356 --> 00:44:53,322
Might be worth a visit.

956
00:44:54,792 --> 00:44:55,992
Brady!

957
00:44:56,093 --> 00:44:57,293
You're a genius!

958
00:45:00,164 --> 00:45:02,131
I mean,
thank you.

959
00:45:02,232 --> 00:45:03,199
Any time.

960
00:45:15,946 --> 00:45:17,880
They're all Austrian crystal.

961
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:19,849
Wow, it's just beautiful.

962
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:21,751
It's one of the oldest
theaters on the Broadway.

963
00:45:21,852 --> 00:45:22,752
Really?

964
00:45:22,853 --> 00:45:25,421
Now, as I told you
on the phone, miss Nicholas,

965
00:45:25,522 --> 00:45:27,724
we're very proud of our history
here at the orpheum theater.

966
00:45:27,825 --> 00:45:28,758
So you think
you can help me?

967
00:45:28,859 --> 00:45:29,826
I know I can.

968
00:45:33,731 --> 00:45:34,964
If we're going
to find anything,

969
00:45:35,065 --> 00:45:37,500
it will be in this.

970
00:45:37,601 --> 00:45:39,035
How long have you
worked here at the theater?

971
00:45:39,136 --> 00:45:40,002
All my life.

972
00:45:40,104 --> 00:45:40,970
Really?

973
00:45:41,071 --> 00:45:43,706
Yes. I started as an actor,
you know?

974
00:45:43,807 --> 00:45:44,907
Now, here we go.

975
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:46,609
1926.

976
00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:47,910
Great.

977
00:45:48,011 --> 00:45:53,116
This is October, November...

978
00:45:53,217 --> 00:45:54,183
Oh, December!

979
00:45:56,987 --> 00:45:57,820
Let's see
what's in here.

980
00:45:57,921 --> 00:45:58,788
Wait, there.

981
00:45:58,889 --> 00:45:59,756
Oh.

982
00:45:59,857 --> 00:46:01,190
Ah.

983
00:46:02,726 --> 00:46:05,528
"The Christmas surprise."

984
00:46:07,197 --> 00:46:08,397
Well...

985
00:46:08,499 --> 00:46:10,533
No wonder my great-grandfather
was crazy about her.

986
00:46:11,835 --> 00:46:13,269
She was a beauty.

987
00:46:14,271 --> 00:46:15,271
"Jessica rose.

988
00:46:15,372 --> 00:46:17,640
The girl with
the lavender eyes."

989
00:46:20,978 --> 00:46:22,812
"Did 'the girl
with the lavender eyes'

990
00:46:22,913 --> 00:46:24,413
"ever truly consider a life

991
00:46:24,515 --> 00:46:25,982
"with the Pennsylvania
coal miner?

992
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:28,551
"Did she ever really see beyond
the lights of Broadway

993
00:46:28,652 --> 00:46:31,721
"to ponder a future with someone
as kind and loving and true

994
00:46:31,822 --> 00:46:33,823
as her unexpected admirer?"

995
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:36,859
Readers are going
to eat this up.

996
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,929
It's so emotional, so romantic.

997
00:46:40,030 --> 00:46:41,798
Yet with
a zippy yuletide twist!

998
00:46:41,899 --> 00:46:42,865
Oh, and get this...

999
00:46:42,966 --> 00:46:43,833
The angel's eyes?

1000
00:46:43,934 --> 00:46:45,001
Lavender.

1001
00:46:45,102 --> 00:46:47,036
Just like Jessica's.

1002
00:46:47,137 --> 00:46:48,538
Sweet, or creepy?

1003
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:49,605
Totally sweet.

1004
00:46:51,208 --> 00:46:54,944
Meanwhile, how's "the boy
with the hot hazel eyes"?

1005
00:46:55,045 --> 00:46:56,579
How do you remember
what color Brady's eyes were?

1006
00:46:58,382 --> 00:46:59,749
Actually, they...

1007
00:46:59,850 --> 00:47:01,250
They have these
little gold flecks in them.

1008
00:47:01,351 --> 00:47:03,486
How close to them did we get?

1009
00:47:03,587 --> 00:47:04,520
What?

1010
00:47:04,621 --> 00:47:05,788
I need a refill.

1011
00:47:09,026 --> 00:47:10,893
Is all forgiven,
or am I still an idiot?

1012
00:47:10,994 --> 00:47:11,861
Forgiven,

1013
00:47:11,962 --> 00:47:14,096
at least by me.

1014
00:47:14,198 --> 00:47:15,598
I can't vouch for her.

1015
00:47:17,367 --> 00:47:18,301
Put in a good word for me,
would you?

1016
00:47:18,402 --> 00:47:19,268
Just in case.

1017
00:47:19,369 --> 00:47:21,137
Will do.

1018
00:47:21,238 --> 00:47:22,271
Thank you, by the way,

1019
00:47:22,372 --> 00:47:23,272
for those flowers.

1020
00:47:23,373 --> 00:47:24,707
They're gorgeous.

1021
00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:26,742
My sentiments exactly.

1022
00:47:33,650 --> 00:47:34,517
What was that?

1023
00:47:34,618 --> 00:47:35,484
What? What was what?

1024
00:47:35,586 --> 00:47:37,353
You tell me, flirty mcflirt.

1025
00:47:37,454 --> 00:47:38,988
What about Brady
and his gold flecks?

1026
00:47:39,089 --> 00:47:41,891
Brady and I
are just hanging out.

1027
00:47:41,992 --> 00:47:43,092
You said it yourself.

1028
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:46,162
Which makes Derek, what,
some handy diversionary tactic?

1029
00:47:46,263 --> 00:47:47,363
Now, see, there's goes

1030
00:47:47,464 --> 00:47:50,032
that vivid
imagination of yours again.

1031
00:47:55,572 --> 00:47:57,573
Now, choosing
a Christmas tree

1032
00:47:57,674 --> 00:47:59,542
is one of the most important
decisions of the holiday season.

1033
00:48:01,979 --> 00:48:05,381
So, which tree
has your name on it?

1034
00:48:05,482 --> 00:48:07,783
Which one doesn't?

1035
00:48:07,885 --> 00:48:09,485
Although
I do have to go small.

1036
00:48:09,586 --> 00:48:11,220
You know, apartment living.

1037
00:48:11,321 --> 00:48:14,657
Well, if I was getting a tree,
it'd be that one,

1038
00:48:14,758 --> 00:48:17,093
and I'd put my great-grandpa's
angel right on top.

1039
00:48:17,194 --> 00:48:18,861
Oh, yeah?

1040
00:48:18,962 --> 00:48:21,030
Your angel might find
a home this Christmas.

1041
00:48:21,131 --> 00:48:22,031
No, no.

1042
00:48:22,132 --> 00:48:23,165
You're not talking about

1043
00:48:23,267 --> 00:48:25,234
that little Charlie brown
tree, are you?

1044
00:48:25,335 --> 00:48:26,168
Actually, I was thinking

1045
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:27,169
it would look awesome

1046
00:48:27,271 --> 00:48:28,137
on the tree outside
our country house.

1047
00:48:28,238 --> 00:48:31,574
You have
a country house?

1048
00:48:31,675 --> 00:48:33,109
LA-di-da.

1049
00:48:33,210 --> 00:48:34,710
Relax, it's my parents'.

1050
00:48:34,811 --> 00:48:37,313
And it's more of a cabin.

1051
00:48:37,381 --> 00:48:40,283
My great-grandparents bought it
ages ago as a vacation place.

1052
00:48:40,384 --> 00:48:41,751
Sounds nice. Is it?

1053
00:48:41,852 --> 00:48:44,620
It's totally nice.

1054
00:48:44,721 --> 00:48:45,655
Just a few hours
west of here,

1055
00:48:45,756 --> 00:48:47,056
murphysburg,
Pennsylvania.

1056
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:48,891
We should go!

1057
00:48:48,992 --> 00:48:49,859
Christmas Eve.

1058
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,193
What? No.

1059
00:48:52,963 --> 00:48:54,330
My article's due that day.

1060
00:48:54,431 --> 00:48:55,731
And anyway,

1061
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:57,833
I'm not going away with you.

1062
00:48:57,935 --> 00:48:59,268
I've known you
for all of, what, two weeks?

1063
00:48:59,369 --> 00:49:01,871
Well, by then,
it will have been 23 days,

1064
00:49:01,972 --> 00:49:04,040
which is the life span
of a worker bee.

1065
00:49:04,141 --> 00:49:05,041
Oh, wow.

1066
00:49:05,142 --> 00:49:06,842
Thank you
for that little factoid,

1067
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:07,944
and for the offer,

1068
00:49:08,045 --> 00:49:09,645
but I will pass.

1069
00:49:10,747 --> 00:49:12,114
Okay.

1070
00:49:12,215 --> 00:49:13,382
Guess I'll just have to
figure out something else

1071
00:49:13,483 --> 00:49:14,784
closer to home.

1072
00:49:17,187 --> 00:49:19,155
Think this'll fit
in the back of an uber?

1073
00:49:19,256 --> 00:49:21,257
I think it could fit
in the glove compartment.

1074
00:49:21,358 --> 00:49:22,258
That's very funny

1075
00:49:22,359 --> 00:49:23,259
for someone who managed

1076
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,327
to get out of there
Christmas-tree-less.

1077
00:49:24,428 --> 00:49:25,428
Uh, hello...

1078
00:49:25,529 --> 00:49:27,163
These bags weren't going
to carry themselves!

1079
00:49:27,264 --> 00:49:28,130
Susan?

1080
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:29,131
Oh!

1081
00:49:29,232 --> 00:49:30,933
- Hi!
- Hey.

1082
00:49:31,034 --> 00:49:31,901
Derek!

1083
00:49:32,002 --> 00:49:33,035
What are you doing here?

1084
00:49:33,136 --> 00:49:35,071
I just made an offer
on a condo around the corner.

1085
00:49:35,172 --> 00:49:36,372
That's fantastic.

1086
00:49:36,473 --> 00:49:37,707
You two look like

1087
00:49:37,808 --> 00:49:39,675
you've been doing
some shopping yourselves.

1088
00:49:39,776 --> 00:49:41,444
Yeah...

1089
00:49:41,545 --> 00:49:44,347
Brady, this is Derek.
We work together.

1090
00:49:44,448 --> 00:49:47,416
Derek, meet Brady. We...

1091
00:49:47,517 --> 00:49:48,417
What do we do?

1092
00:49:48,518 --> 00:49:50,953
We annoy each other.

1093
00:49:51,054 --> 00:49:52,054
It's actually
pretty entertaining.

1094
00:49:54,324 --> 00:49:55,291
That's quite
the fashion statement.

1095
00:49:55,392 --> 00:49:56,792
Oh...

1096
00:49:56,893 --> 00:49:58,694
Yeah, it's all part of
"operation jump start."

1097
00:49:58,795 --> 00:49:59,762
Which is...

1098
00:49:59,863 --> 00:50:03,499
Brady's personal mission

1099
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,568
to revive
my Christmas spirit.

1100
00:50:05,669 --> 00:50:06,969
That's a joke, right?

1101
00:50:07,070 --> 00:50:09,405
No, it's as real as
the santas on that scarf.

1102
00:50:09,506 --> 00:50:10,706
It's... complicated.

1103
00:50:10,807 --> 00:50:12,241
I'm sure it is.

1104
00:50:12,342 --> 00:50:13,709
Not really.

1105
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:19,215
Hey, good luck with your condo.

1106
00:50:19,316 --> 00:50:21,917
I'll see you
at the office, okay?

1107
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:22,985
Merry Christmas!

1108
00:50:28,458 --> 00:50:30,960
Wow. Should I be jealous?

1109
00:50:31,061 --> 00:50:32,294
Of who?

1110
00:50:32,396 --> 00:50:37,900
The male model-looking,
condo-buying office guy

1111
00:50:38,001 --> 00:50:40,336
that has zero appreciation
for Christmas wear.

1112
00:50:40,437 --> 00:50:42,905
Well, I don't know.
That depends.

1113
00:50:44,274 --> 00:50:46,409
What exactly are we?

1114
00:50:46,510 --> 00:50:49,111
Aside from two people
who annoy each other?

1115
00:50:50,414 --> 00:50:52,148
More than that, I hope.

1116
00:50:54,384 --> 00:50:55,418
Don't you?

1117
00:50:59,956 --> 00:51:00,823
You're right.

1118
00:51:00,924 --> 00:51:01,924
He has no appreciation

1119
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:03,325
for Christmas wear.

1120
00:51:03,427 --> 00:51:04,994
Whatsoever.

1121
00:51:11,902 --> 00:51:15,004
Hey, so why are we
on your roof?

1122
00:51:15,105 --> 00:51:18,574
Okay, we have
this weird tradition

1123
00:51:18,675 --> 00:51:20,509
in my family.

1124
00:51:20,610 --> 00:51:24,947
We only put up
our Christmas trees outside.

1125
00:51:26,450 --> 00:51:28,784
The idea is
that it helps them...

1126
00:51:28,885 --> 00:51:30,119
Look up to God.

1127
00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:35,024
Brady, this is unbelievable.

1128
00:51:36,860 --> 00:51:39,995
My family has
the same tradition.

1129
00:51:40,097 --> 00:51:40,963
Come on. No way!

1130
00:51:41,064 --> 00:51:42,531
That's crazy.

1131
00:51:42,632 --> 00:51:43,833
No, we've done it forever!

1132
00:51:43,934 --> 00:51:45,768
I just thought
it was an old welsh custom.

1133
00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:47,403
Well, apparently,

1134
00:51:47,504 --> 00:51:49,371
a few irishmen
picked it up along the way.

1135
00:51:51,641 --> 00:51:53,809
Anyway...

1136
00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:55,077
That's why the small tree.

1137
00:51:56,513 --> 00:51:58,781
Because anything bigger
would blow over up here.

1138
00:51:59,749 --> 00:52:00,683
Make sense?

1139
00:52:00,784 --> 00:52:03,853
About as much sense
as anything right now.

1140
00:52:50,066 --> 00:52:53,636
He arrived in time

1141
00:52:53,737 --> 00:52:55,771
to attend the opening night

1142
00:52:55,872 --> 00:53:00,743
of a new play called
"the Christmas surprise."

1143
00:53:13,723 --> 00:53:17,092
Owen, you made it,
and just in time!

1144
00:53:17,194 --> 00:53:18,360
Curtain is in 20 minutes.

1145
00:53:20,397 --> 00:53:22,364
You made this yourself?
For me?

1146
00:53:23,366 --> 00:53:24,233
It's gorgeous.

1147
00:53:24,334 --> 00:53:26,001
And the eyes...

1148
00:53:26,102 --> 00:53:27,836
They're lavender, like mine.

1149
00:53:27,938 --> 00:53:29,905
You were all I could see
while I was carving it.

1150
00:53:30,941 --> 00:53:32,474
You don't have
a Christmas tree in here?

1151
00:53:32,576 --> 00:53:34,543
I'm surprised.

1152
00:53:34,644 --> 00:53:35,678
Someone once told me

1153
00:53:35,779 --> 00:53:37,479
that the only place
for a Christmas tree

1154
00:53:37,581 --> 00:53:39,481
is outside, where...

1155
00:53:39,583 --> 00:53:41,250
Where it can look up to God.

1156
00:53:42,686 --> 00:53:43,552
Well, marry me,

1157
00:53:43,653 --> 00:53:45,154
and every year,

1158
00:53:45,255 --> 00:53:48,157
the angel will crown the tree
in front of our new house.

1159
00:53:51,127 --> 00:53:53,596
Ten minutes, miss rose.

1160
00:53:53,697 --> 00:53:54,997
You don't have
to decide now.

1161
00:53:55,098 --> 00:53:56,865
Go. Have a magnificent
opening night.

1162
00:53:56,967 --> 00:53:58,968
We'll talk after.

1163
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:00,903
So who was your friend?

1164
00:54:01,004 --> 00:54:01,904
Derek.

1165
00:54:02,005 --> 00:54:03,372
- You scared me.
- Sorry.

1166
00:54:03,473 --> 00:54:05,307
I was saying,
who was your friend?

1167
00:54:05,408 --> 00:54:06,275
From yesterday?

1168
00:54:06,376 --> 00:54:09,044
Oh, Brady?

1169
00:54:09,145 --> 00:54:10,613
He's an artist...

1170
00:54:11,815 --> 00:54:13,315
And a holiday enthusiast.

1171
00:54:13,416 --> 00:54:15,150
And...

1172
00:54:15,252 --> 00:54:17,219
And what?

1173
00:54:19,022 --> 00:54:20,022
Susan, I thought
you were on a deadline?

1174
00:54:20,123 --> 00:54:21,390
I was. I am.

1175
00:54:21,491 --> 00:54:24,360
But dating's not quite as out
of the question as you thought?

1176
00:54:24,461 --> 00:54:26,562
Brady and I
aren't exactly dating.

1177
00:54:26,663 --> 00:54:27,630
Good.

1178
00:54:27,731 --> 00:54:29,331
Then you and I can revisit
the idea of dinner.

1179
00:54:30,700 --> 00:54:32,434
Or even do
something Christmas-y,

1180
00:54:32,535 --> 00:54:34,003
if that helps
your little experiment.

1181
00:54:39,609 --> 00:54:41,210
I'll let you know, okay?

1182
00:54:41,311 --> 00:54:43,078
Fine...

1183
00:54:43,179 --> 00:54:44,713
But I gotta tell you,

1184
00:54:44,814 --> 00:54:45,681
that...

1185
00:54:45,782 --> 00:54:46,749
Angel...

1186
00:55:03,667 --> 00:55:05,134
Wait, why would you order
a backup feature

1187
00:55:05,235 --> 00:55:07,836
from another writer
for my Christmas day slot?

1188
00:55:07,937 --> 00:55:09,204
Just in case.

1189
00:55:09,306 --> 00:55:10,539
In case of what?

1190
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,141
Susan, you've edited

1191
00:55:12,242 --> 00:55:13,609
your share
of backup articles.

1192
00:55:13,710 --> 00:55:14,610
You know how this works.

1193
00:55:14,711 --> 00:55:15,577
Yvette, I've got this.

1194
00:55:15,679 --> 00:55:17,179
You don't need a backup.

1195
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:18,647
Oh, really?

1196
00:55:18,715 --> 00:55:20,916
What if you don't find
your ending?

1197
00:55:21,017 --> 00:55:22,184
Then what?

1198
00:55:22,285 --> 00:55:23,352
Who says
I don't already have it?

1199
00:55:23,453 --> 00:55:24,920
Do you?

1200
00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:28,691
Not... completely...

1201
00:55:28,792 --> 00:55:30,059
But I will.
No question.

1202
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,026
Excellent.

1203
00:55:31,127 --> 00:55:32,561
Then you have nothing
to worry about.

1204
00:55:35,765 --> 00:55:36,632
From now on,

1205
00:55:36,733 --> 00:55:37,933
it is all writing,
all the time!

1206
00:55:38,034 --> 00:55:39,468
In fact, I'm going
to call Brady

1207
00:55:39,569 --> 00:55:40,569
and tell him
I can't see him tonight.

1208
00:55:40,670 --> 00:55:41,503
We'll have to go
caroling another time.

1209
00:55:41,604 --> 00:55:42,471
No, no, no!

1210
00:55:42,572 --> 00:55:43,605
Right now,
being around Brady

1211
00:55:43,707 --> 00:55:45,341
is the best thing for you
and your article.

1212
00:55:45,442 --> 00:55:46,542
How do you figure that?

1213
00:55:46,643 --> 00:55:48,577
Susan, if you want
to be a great writer,

1214
00:55:48,678 --> 00:55:50,079
you have to experience life,

1215
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:52,014
and it's been a while

1216
00:55:52,115 --> 00:55:53,148
since I've seen you
this happy.

1217
00:55:53,249 --> 00:55:54,883
Really?

1218
00:55:54,984 --> 00:55:57,986
Yes, really.

1219
00:55:58,054 --> 00:55:59,988
You've even got
this bounce when you walk,

1220
00:56:00,090 --> 00:56:01,223
and your skin,

1221
00:56:01,324 --> 00:56:04,526
it's glowing like it was lit
by birthday candles.

1222
00:56:04,627 --> 00:56:06,028
- Okay, that's ridiculous.
- No, I'm serious.

1223
00:56:06,129 --> 00:56:08,163
Brady's bringing out
your creative side.

1224
00:56:10,900 --> 00:56:13,836
♪ ...heedless of
the wind and weather ♪

1225
00:56:13,937 --> 00:56:18,273
♪ fa, LA, LA, LA, LA
LA, LA, LA, LA ♪

1226
00:56:20,310 --> 00:56:21,610
Cheers, you guys.

1227
00:56:21,711 --> 00:56:24,546
I think somebody's officially
found their Christmas spirit.

1228
00:56:24,647 --> 00:56:26,181
That was actually
really fun.

1229
00:56:26,282 --> 00:56:27,416
Thank you.

1230
00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:28,951
For the record,
you crushed "deck the halls."

1231
00:56:29,052 --> 00:56:30,085
Yes!

1232
00:56:30,186 --> 00:56:32,020
And there was nothing silent
about your "silent night."

1233
00:56:32,122 --> 00:56:34,189
Oh, and let you sing
louder than me?

1234
00:56:34,290 --> 00:56:35,824
I don't think so, buddy.

1235
00:56:37,427 --> 00:56:38,594
Oh, want to stop for one of

1236
00:56:38,695 --> 00:56:41,096
those "best Irish coffees
in all of Manhattan"?

1237
00:56:41,197 --> 00:56:43,098
My treat.

1238
00:56:43,199 --> 00:56:45,000
How about some place
more private?

1239
00:56:46,503 --> 00:56:47,436
Okay.

1240
00:56:50,507 --> 00:56:51,940
To Saint Nick

1241
00:56:52,041 --> 00:56:54,443
and the sled
he rode in on.

1242
00:56:58,348 --> 00:57:00,048
You working on something new?

1243
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:01,617
Oh, it's just something
I'm messing around with.

1244
00:57:01,718 --> 00:57:03,352
Yeah? Can I take a look?

1245
00:57:03,453 --> 00:57:04,553
Yeah, no...

1246
00:57:04,654 --> 00:57:06,522
Maybe when I'm finished.

1247
00:57:07,657 --> 00:57:09,258
Okay.

1248
00:57:10,293 --> 00:57:11,860
So, you remember
the friend of mine,

1249
00:57:11,961 --> 00:57:12,828
Zack, I was telling you about?

1250
00:57:12,929 --> 00:57:13,796
He was looking
for gallery space?

1251
00:57:13,897 --> 00:57:15,197
Yeah.

1252
00:57:15,298 --> 00:57:16,331
Well, he started looking again

1253
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:18,834
and he found
what he thinks is a primo spot.

1254
00:57:18,935 --> 00:57:20,135
I like what I'm hearing.

1255
00:57:21,871 --> 00:57:23,972
Yeah, he'd put the money up,
I'd run the place.

1256
00:57:24,073 --> 00:57:25,908
We'd split the profits.

1257
00:57:26,009 --> 00:57:27,743
That is fantastic.

1258
00:57:27,844 --> 00:57:29,378
Where is it?
Soho? Chelsea?

1259
00:57:29,479 --> 00:57:30,846
Wait... Brooklyn!

1260
00:57:30,947 --> 00:57:31,814
Los Angeles.

1261
00:57:31,915 --> 00:57:34,149
Los Angeles?

1262
00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:35,117
Place called echo park.

1263
00:57:35,218 --> 00:57:37,252
Real hip.

1264
00:57:37,353 --> 00:57:38,520
Place needs
a ton of work,

1265
00:57:38,621 --> 00:57:39,922
but that's why we can
do the lease.

1266
00:57:40,023 --> 00:57:41,723
Wow, California...

1267
00:57:41,825 --> 00:57:44,026
Yeah, honestly,

1268
00:57:44,127 --> 00:57:45,561
I had no idea
where he was looking.

1269
00:57:45,662 --> 00:57:48,130
I just assumed
it was New York.

1270
00:57:48,231 --> 00:57:49,998
Apparently,
the worst dump

1271
00:57:50,099 --> 00:57:51,767
is, like, through
the roof here, so...

1272
00:57:51,868 --> 00:57:54,536
Brady...

1273
00:57:54,637 --> 00:57:55,671
This is huge.

1274
00:57:55,772 --> 00:57:58,574
Running a gallery in L.A.!

1275
00:57:58,675 --> 00:57:59,808
Think about the work
you can do out there.

1276
00:57:59,909 --> 00:58:02,077
I mean,
the weather alone

1277
00:58:02,178 --> 00:58:03,345
should inspire greatness.

1278
00:58:03,446 --> 00:58:04,713
Congratulations!

1279
00:58:04,814 --> 00:58:07,883
When do you leave?

1280
00:58:07,984 --> 00:58:08,917
Leaving?

1281
00:58:09,018 --> 00:58:10,519
I'm not even sure
I want to do this thing.

1282
00:58:10,587 --> 00:58:12,554
Well, how could you not?
It sounds perfect!

1283
00:58:13,790 --> 00:58:16,024
What if I was trying to leave
myself open for other things?

1284
00:58:16,125 --> 00:58:17,793
Like what?

1285
00:58:17,894 --> 00:58:19,828
This could be
the chance of a lifetime.

1286
00:58:19,929 --> 00:58:20,796
You don't want to blow this.

1287
00:58:20,897 --> 00:58:23,599
If you're talking about us,
I agree.

1288
00:58:29,339 --> 00:58:31,473
Brady...

1289
00:58:31,574 --> 00:58:34,443
You're a talented artist.

1290
00:58:34,544 --> 00:58:35,611
Your should put the work first.

1291
00:58:35,712 --> 00:58:37,513
You have to put
your work first.

1292
00:58:38,515 --> 00:58:40,015
As for us...

1293
00:58:40,116 --> 00:58:41,583
Who knows what we are?

1294
00:58:43,019 --> 00:58:43,886
Look, you're a writer.

1295
00:58:43,987 --> 00:58:44,987
I get that.

1296
00:58:45,088 --> 00:58:46,121
You're all about words,

1297
00:58:46,222 --> 00:58:47,589
but...

1298
00:58:47,690 --> 00:58:48,690
Not everything
has to have a label.

1299
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,595
I think we've started
something really good here.

1300
00:58:53,696 --> 00:58:54,563
I think it can only get better.

1301
00:58:54,664 --> 00:58:57,366
Yeah. Maybe,

1302
00:58:57,467 --> 00:58:58,433
but I'd feel terrible

1303
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:00,202
if you didn't move
because of me.

1304
00:59:00,303 --> 00:59:02,004
You can't do that.

1305
00:59:05,208 --> 00:59:06,174
What?

1306
00:59:08,611 --> 00:59:11,313
Truth?

1307
00:59:11,381 --> 00:59:12,414
I was kind of hoping

1308
00:59:12,515 --> 00:59:14,983
that you were going to try
and talk me out of this.

1309
00:59:19,355 --> 00:59:20,656
How about...

1310
00:59:20,757 --> 00:59:23,592
We table this
conversation for now,

1311
00:59:23,693 --> 00:59:24,826
just finish up
our work,

1312
00:59:24,928 --> 00:59:27,563
and enjoy the holidays?

1313
00:59:28,531 --> 00:59:30,432
Together?

1314
00:59:30,533 --> 00:59:33,001
Yeah. Together.

1315
00:59:38,041 --> 00:59:38,941
Well, Brady,
we're thrilled

1316
00:59:39,042 --> 00:59:39,908
you could
join us tonight.

1317
00:59:40,009 --> 00:59:42,177
We thought
we'd never meet you.

1318
00:59:42,278 --> 00:59:43,312
Mom...

1319
00:59:43,413 --> 00:59:44,713
You'll have to excuse
my wife, Brady.

1320
00:59:44,781 --> 00:59:46,448
When it comes
to matters of the heart,

1321
00:59:46,549 --> 00:59:48,383
she's incorrigible.

1322
00:59:48,484 --> 00:59:50,018
No worries.

1323
00:59:50,119 --> 00:59:51,553
It's good
to finally meet you.

1324
00:59:51,654 --> 00:59:53,288
I'm stoked to help you
decorate this tree.

1325
00:59:53,389 --> 00:59:55,123
And outdoors, too...

1326
00:59:55,224 --> 00:59:57,259
Just like
your folks do it, right?

1327
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:58,427
Yeah. That's
a crazy coincidence, huh?

1328
00:59:58,528 --> 00:59:59,661
Or not.

1329
00:59:59,762 --> 01:00:00,963
Who knows?

1330
01:00:04,867 --> 01:00:05,968
Brady, there's some cider
on the stove.

1331
01:00:06,069 --> 01:00:07,569
Would you mind
getting it for us?

1332
01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:08,837
Yeah, sure.

1333
01:00:08,938 --> 01:00:10,505
Thank you!

1334
01:00:12,675 --> 01:00:14,376
Oh, I love him!

1335
01:00:14,477 --> 01:00:15,811
I like him, too.

1336
01:00:18,715 --> 01:00:19,615
Honey...

1337
01:00:19,716 --> 01:00:21,617
What's wrong?

1338
01:00:21,718 --> 01:00:25,554
I told Brady we could spend
the holidays together,

1339
01:00:25,655 --> 01:00:27,022
but now I'm thinking
maybe we shouldn't.

1340
01:00:28,324 --> 01:00:29,958
I don't want us
to get too close.

1341
01:00:30,059 --> 01:00:32,694
I mean, if he goes
to L.A., that'll be it.

1342
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:33,662
So, what's the point?

1343
01:00:33,763 --> 01:00:36,865
Yeah, logically speaking,
I can't disagree.

1344
01:00:36,966 --> 01:00:37,899
Honey,

1345
01:00:38,001 --> 01:00:40,702
if you and Brady
are supposed to be together,

1346
01:00:40,803 --> 01:00:41,803
it may already
be out of your hands.

1347
01:00:41,904 --> 01:00:44,439
Mom, please,
I need a real answer.

1348
01:00:44,540 --> 01:00:45,774
Look, when the time comes...

1349
01:00:45,875 --> 01:00:48,210
I mean, if it comes...

1350
01:00:48,311 --> 01:00:49,311
Make the decision together.

1351
01:00:51,648 --> 01:00:54,349
Okay!
Who wants some cider?

1352
01:00:54,450 --> 01:00:56,952
- I want some cider.
- Yes, sir.

1353
01:00:57,053 --> 01:00:58,787
Thank you.

1354
01:01:00,089 --> 01:01:01,957
- For you.
- Thank you.

1355
01:01:02,058 --> 01:01:03,825
Aw this is so nice.

1356
01:01:03,926 --> 01:01:05,394
Merry Christmas!
Ho, ho, ho!

1357
01:01:15,405 --> 01:01:19,241
Does eating dessert
always make you this happy?

1358
01:01:19,342 --> 01:01:20,409
That's part of it.

1359
01:01:21,644 --> 01:01:23,278
Okay, listen,

1360
01:01:23,379 --> 01:01:24,613
I... I told Zack
I'm out of the L.A. deal.

1361
01:01:24,714 --> 01:01:26,782
If he wants to do it,
he's on his own.

1362
01:01:29,052 --> 01:01:30,619
Brady, that's crazy.

1363
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,988
I told you,
you can't not go because of me.

1364
01:01:33,089 --> 01:01:35,023
No, you said

1365
01:01:35,124 --> 01:01:37,092
that you'd feel terrible
if I didn't go because of you,

1366
01:01:37,193 --> 01:01:39,828
but then I realized
I'd feel terrible if I did go,

1367
01:01:39,929 --> 01:01:42,030
so it's on me.

1368
01:01:43,933 --> 01:01:46,068
What?

1369
01:01:46,169 --> 01:01:47,335
I thought we weren't going
to get back into this

1370
01:01:47,437 --> 01:01:48,370
until after the holidays?

1371
01:01:48,438 --> 01:01:51,306
Well, Zack was pushing me
for a decision,

1372
01:01:51,407 --> 01:01:52,374
so I made one.

1373
01:01:52,475 --> 01:01:53,709
Well, we should have
made it together.

1374
01:01:53,810 --> 01:01:55,177
Why, so you could talk me
out of it again?

1375
01:01:55,278 --> 01:01:57,679
Brady, you just...

1376
01:01:57,780 --> 01:01:59,581
You don't know me well enough
or long enough

1377
01:01:59,682 --> 01:02:01,650
to make such a major life choice
like this.

1378
01:02:01,751 --> 01:02:03,518
Okay, so tell me everything
I need to know about you.

1379
01:02:03,619 --> 01:02:04,486
Don't leave anything out.

1380
01:02:04,587 --> 01:02:06,121
It's not that simple.

1381
01:02:06,222 --> 01:02:07,322
See, I think it is.

1382
01:02:07,423 --> 01:02:10,358
Yeah, because you're more...
Freespirited than I am.

1383
01:02:10,460 --> 01:02:12,160
I'm a free-spirit?

1384
01:02:12,261 --> 01:02:14,096
That's not a criticism.

1385
01:02:14,197 --> 01:02:15,163
Did you ever think

1386
01:02:15,264 --> 01:02:16,064
that maybe you're not
free-spirited enough?

1387
01:02:16,165 --> 01:02:18,767
Only every single of my life,

1388
01:02:18,868 --> 01:02:21,436
which is probably why I...
Thought...

1389
01:02:21,537 --> 01:02:22,971
Think...
You could be good for me.

1390
01:02:23,072 --> 01:02:25,307
Just not good enough.

1391
01:02:25,408 --> 01:02:27,142
If I thought that,

1392
01:02:27,243 --> 01:02:28,710
I wouldn't even be here
right now,

1393
01:02:28,811 --> 01:02:30,245
which...

1394
01:02:30,346 --> 01:02:31,246
I probably shouldn't be.

1395
01:02:31,347 --> 01:02:32,481
I should be home
finishing my article.

1396
01:02:32,582 --> 01:02:35,183
Yeah, maybe you should be...

1397
01:02:35,284 --> 01:02:37,085
Or maybe you should take a cue
from your great-grandfather,

1398
01:02:37,186 --> 01:02:39,421
who fell for somebody
that he'd only known for a week,

1399
01:02:39,522 --> 01:02:42,190
yeah, and I think you know
how well that turned out.

1400
01:02:52,835 --> 01:02:53,769
Brady... wait.

1401
01:02:58,641 --> 01:03:01,576
Maybe we should
just slow down a little,

1402
01:03:01,677 --> 01:03:03,111
take some time.

1403
01:03:04,781 --> 01:03:06,348
Just like that?

1404
01:03:08,351 --> 01:03:10,185
What about the holidays?

1405
01:03:10,286 --> 01:03:11,219
I'm sorry.

1406
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,088
I just think it's for the best.

1407
01:03:15,057 --> 01:03:17,225
Okay.

1408
01:03:17,326 --> 01:03:18,727
Just know

1409
01:03:18,828 --> 01:03:20,162
that that jerk

1410
01:03:20,263 --> 01:03:21,396
that dumped you
on Christmas Eve

1411
01:03:21,497 --> 01:03:22,430
for his yoga teacher?

1412
01:03:24,033 --> 01:03:25,567
I am not that guy.

1413
01:03:53,629 --> 01:03:55,363
What if I've totally
blown it?

1414
01:03:55,464 --> 01:03:58,300
I'm sure Brady will accept
your apology in a second.

1415
01:03:58,401 --> 01:03:59,634
My apology?
For what?

1416
01:03:59,735 --> 01:04:01,636
Thinking of his future
and trying not to hold him back?

1417
01:04:01,737 --> 01:04:03,271
I mean my article!

1418
01:04:03,372 --> 01:04:04,339
It's due tomorrow.

1419
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,707
I still don't have
an actual ending

1420
01:04:05,808 --> 01:04:06,741
to the Owen-Jessica saga.

1421
01:04:06,843 --> 01:04:08,210
Couldn't you just
make something up?

1422
01:04:08,311 --> 01:04:09,177
I mean, who's going to know?

1423
01:04:09,278 --> 01:04:11,379
You can't make up the facts.

1424
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:12,881
That's called "fiction."

1425
01:04:12,982 --> 01:04:14,916
I call it flexibility,
but, hey, that's me.

1426
01:04:15,017 --> 01:04:18,787
As for Brady, I'm not sure
what your problem is.

1427
01:04:18,888 --> 01:04:20,322
Who wouldn't want
a guy who puts her first?

1428
01:04:20,423 --> 01:04:21,289
It's too much, too fast,

1429
01:04:21,390 --> 01:04:22,757
and I don't trust it,

1430
01:04:22,859 --> 01:04:24,526
but, hey, that's me.

1431
01:04:24,627 --> 01:04:25,694
More wine? Yes, please.

1432
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:34,970
So, I...

1433
01:04:35,071 --> 01:04:36,404
Evening, ladies.

1434
01:04:36,505 --> 01:04:38,273
Hi.

1435
01:04:38,374 --> 01:04:40,242
Where's your
artist friend?

1436
01:04:40,343 --> 01:04:42,377
Uh, we're...

1437
01:04:42,478 --> 01:04:44,012
Taking kind of a "time out."

1438
01:04:44,113 --> 01:04:46,281
From what,
"not exactly dating"?

1439
01:04:48,117 --> 01:04:49,885
That sounds
about right.

1440
01:04:52,288 --> 01:04:54,189
If you're going
to ask her to dance,

1441
01:04:54,290 --> 01:04:55,156
would you do it already?

1442
01:04:55,258 --> 01:04:57,058
Otherwise,
we're getting a refill.

1443
01:04:57,159 --> 01:04:59,094
Sure, okay.

1444
01:04:59,195 --> 01:05:01,062
Care to dance?

1445
01:05:03,566 --> 01:05:04,499
Sure.

1446
01:05:17,213 --> 01:05:18,513
Perfect timing.

1447
01:05:18,614 --> 01:05:20,916
"Angels we have
heard on high?" Really?

1448
01:05:21,017 --> 01:05:22,851
You can't get away
from Christmas,

1449
01:05:22,952 --> 01:05:24,786
especially at
a Christmas party.

1450
01:05:28,791 --> 01:05:30,191
Good news.

1451
01:05:30,293 --> 01:05:32,027
They accepted
my offer on the condo.

1452
01:05:32,128 --> 01:05:34,562
I close next month.

1453
01:05:34,664 --> 01:05:36,798
Wow. Look at you,

1454
01:05:36,899 --> 01:05:38,833
knocking down those goals
like bowling pins.

1455
01:05:38,935 --> 01:05:39,901
The place looks great.

1456
01:05:41,904 --> 01:05:43,738
I can't wait
for you to see it.

1457
01:05:58,788 --> 01:06:01,356
That was not
perfect timing.

1458
01:06:02,825 --> 01:06:05,226
Or maybe it was.
I don't know...

1459
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:08,430
Derek, I'm so sorry.

1460
01:06:10,466 --> 01:06:11,967
I have to go.

1461
01:06:16,772 --> 01:06:17,639
- Oh!
- Whoa!

1462
01:06:17,740 --> 01:06:18,606
Sorry.

1463
01:06:18,708 --> 01:06:20,008
You having a good time?

1464
01:06:20,109 --> 01:06:21,609
You'll have my article
right on schedule.

1465
01:06:21,711 --> 01:06:23,178
Tomorrow, 4:00 P.M.

1466
01:06:23,279 --> 01:06:24,913
Just so you know,
the backup piece came in,

1467
01:06:25,014 --> 01:06:25,880
and it's pretty terrific...

1468
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:27,215
But I'm expecting yours

1469
01:06:27,316 --> 01:06:28,850
to be even better.

1470
01:06:42,398 --> 01:06:43,598
Got you a tea.

1471
01:06:43,699 --> 01:06:45,000
Thanks.

1472
01:06:54,410 --> 01:07:00,181
I know this isn't news,
but relationships are hard,

1473
01:07:00,282 --> 01:07:02,817
and don't even get me
started on marriage.

1474
01:07:02,918 --> 01:07:05,620
I just wasn't
ready for this.

1475
01:07:05,721 --> 01:07:07,989
Well, I mean,
who's ever ready for love?

1476
01:07:08,090 --> 01:07:10,592
You know, it happens.

1477
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:12,060
You know, it finds you...

1478
01:07:12,161 --> 01:07:15,263
You jump in the deep end
and swim for dear life.

1479
01:07:15,364 --> 01:07:16,364
What if you drown?

1480
01:07:20,603 --> 01:07:23,338
Sweetheart, did I ever tell you

1481
01:07:23,406 --> 01:07:24,873
that your mother and I
almost split up

1482
01:07:24,974 --> 01:07:25,940
that first Christmas Eve

1483
01:07:26,042 --> 01:07:27,108
that we spent together?

1484
01:07:27,209 --> 01:07:28,076
Really?

1485
01:07:28,177 --> 01:07:29,077
She always says

1486
01:07:29,178 --> 01:07:30,311
how you two were

1487
01:07:30,413 --> 01:07:32,347
crazy about each other
right from the start.

1488
01:07:32,448 --> 01:07:34,182
Oh, yeah, we were.

1489
01:07:34,283 --> 01:07:36,551
"Opposites attract,"
and all that...

1490
01:07:36,652 --> 01:07:37,519
But, you know what,

1491
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:39,854
we were both
jockeying for control.

1492
01:07:39,955 --> 01:07:43,391
We had different priorities,
different approaches...

1493
01:07:43,492 --> 01:07:45,560
And on that
particular night...

1494
01:07:45,661 --> 01:07:49,330
Our own ways
of decorating a Christmas tree.

1495
01:07:49,432 --> 01:07:53,001
Uh-oh,
mom and her Christmas trees.

1496
01:07:53,102 --> 01:07:54,969
Oh, yeah.

1497
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:56,137
I wanted to start
at the top and work down,

1498
01:07:56,238 --> 01:07:57,872
she wanted to start
at the bottom up and work up,

1499
01:07:57,973 --> 01:07:58,907
and that was
just the start of it.

1500
01:07:59,008 --> 01:08:00,442
You know, there was
the lights, the tinsel,

1501
01:08:00,543 --> 01:08:02,744
the number of ornaments,
the kind of ornaments.

1502
01:08:02,845 --> 01:08:03,711
I mean, we disagreed

1503
01:08:03,813 --> 01:08:06,014
about absolutely
everything.

1504
01:08:06,115 --> 01:08:09,117
We were both so set
on our own family traditions.

1505
01:08:09,218 --> 01:08:10,885
And I mean,
an outside Christmas tree?

1506
01:08:10,986 --> 01:08:11,853
What was that?

1507
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:16,424
Well, that was the last straw
is what it was.

1508
01:08:16,525 --> 01:08:19,461
We had a...
A huge fight,

1509
01:08:19,562 --> 01:08:21,262
and I got in my car
and I just drove off.

1510
01:08:21,363 --> 01:08:24,099
And I really had no idea
if I was ever coming back.

1511
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,101
But you did.

1512
01:08:27,636 --> 01:08:30,038
Yeah, about an hour later.

1513
01:08:32,241 --> 01:08:33,908
But...

1514
01:08:34,009 --> 01:08:35,944
We never talked about it.

1515
01:08:36,045 --> 01:08:38,680
We just finished
decorating the tree

1516
01:08:38,781 --> 01:08:39,714
and then, together,

1517
01:08:39,815 --> 01:08:41,483
we put
your great-grandfather's angel

1518
01:08:41,584 --> 01:08:43,585
right on the top.

1519
01:08:45,087 --> 01:08:46,588
You know what?

1520
01:08:46,689 --> 01:08:47,655
Suddenly, everything was okay.

1521
01:08:50,226 --> 01:08:53,027
So, I don't know...

1522
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:55,563
Maybe there is something
about that angel of yours.

1523
01:08:56,732 --> 01:08:58,266
I never knew
that story.

1524
01:09:01,237 --> 01:09:03,338
What exactly
are you trying to tell me?

1525
01:09:04,874 --> 01:09:05,773
He's trying
to tell you

1526
01:09:05,875 --> 01:09:06,741
that running away

1527
01:09:06,842 --> 01:09:08,376
isn't always the only option.

1528
01:09:11,780 --> 01:09:13,414
Isn't that right,
darling?

1529
01:09:13,516 --> 01:09:15,049
Yes, of course, darling.

1530
01:09:22,358 --> 01:09:23,358
"In the end,

1531
01:09:23,459 --> 01:09:24,425
"Owen and Jessica

1532
01:09:24,527 --> 01:09:26,394
clearly made a decision
about their future..."

1533
01:09:27,897 --> 01:09:30,064
"But how?

1534
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:31,699
"And did they regret it
forever,

1535
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,069
or did they stand
by their choices?"

1536
01:09:46,815 --> 01:09:48,516
<i>It's Brady.</i>
<i>Tell me something good.</i>

1537
01:11:41,764 --> 01:11:43,965
Hi. Is Brady there, please?

1538
01:11:44,933 --> 01:11:46,401
No.

1539
01:11:46,502 --> 01:11:48,369
Did he say where he was going?

1540
01:11:49,338 --> 01:11:50,371
His cabin?

1541
01:11:50,472 --> 01:11:54,309
One Christmas blend!
Extra large!

1542
01:12:20,469 --> 01:12:21,669
Excuse me?

1543
01:12:21,770 --> 01:12:24,772
Do you know
where the howe family cabin is?

1544
01:12:59,742 --> 01:13:00,708
Brady?

1545
01:13:07,416 --> 01:13:08,282
Susan?

1546
01:13:08,384 --> 01:13:09,417
Oh, hello! Hi!

1547
01:13:12,287 --> 01:13:13,254
Merry Christmas Eve?

1548
01:13:19,128 --> 01:13:20,595
What are you doing here?

1549
01:13:20,696 --> 01:13:23,898
You said murphysburg, so...

1550
01:13:23,999 --> 01:13:27,201
I asked in town,
and they directed me here.

1551
01:13:27,302 --> 01:13:29,570
This place is lovely,
by the way.

1552
01:13:29,671 --> 01:13:30,972
For somebody
that doesn't like surprises,

1553
01:13:31,073 --> 01:13:32,006
you sure know how to give one.

1554
01:13:33,942 --> 01:13:34,876
You mean,
like the angel painting?

1555
01:13:36,512 --> 01:13:38,846
That was amazing.
Thank you.

1556
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:41,349
You're welcome.

1557
01:13:42,384 --> 01:13:43,251
You know, you could have

1558
01:13:43,352 --> 01:13:44,886
just texted me
thank you, though,

1559
01:13:44,987 --> 01:13:46,921
saved yourself
the trip.

1560
01:13:46,989 --> 01:13:49,991
Yeah, well...
It's Christmas Eve.

1561
01:13:50,092 --> 01:13:51,659
Friends shouldn't let friends
be alone!

1562
01:13:53,996 --> 01:13:55,029
Come on.

1563
01:14:00,702 --> 01:14:02,637
I... I went
to the market earlier.

1564
01:14:02,738 --> 01:14:03,805
I got some groceries,

1565
01:14:03,906 --> 01:14:05,706
because, you know, the whole
"starving artist" thing

1566
01:14:05,808 --> 01:14:07,575
is a little overrated.

1567
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:12,814
Why did you really
come out here, Susan?

1568
01:14:16,285 --> 01:14:18,352
Brady, you were right.

1569
01:14:18,454 --> 01:14:20,087
You're not Steve,
not even close.

1570
01:14:21,256 --> 01:14:22,123
But you're also

1571
01:14:22,224 --> 01:14:24,959
not like
most other guys I meet,

1572
01:14:25,060 --> 01:14:27,328
and for someone like me,
that's scary.

1573
01:14:29,097 --> 01:14:30,498
You throw in
my Christmas angst

1574
01:14:30,599 --> 01:14:32,834
and your whole...
New york/l. A. Thing...

1575
01:14:32,901 --> 01:14:34,635
And there's
so many roadblocks.

1576
01:14:35,871 --> 01:14:38,739
What if I told you I was
rethinking Zack's offer?

1577
01:14:38,841 --> 01:14:39,974
Maybe go on out west
after all?

1578
01:14:41,810 --> 01:14:43,478
I'd say that's great.

1579
01:14:43,579 --> 01:14:45,213
Do it...

1580
01:14:45,314 --> 01:14:46,714
And we'll play it out.

1581
01:14:49,218 --> 01:14:53,988
But for now, let's just have
a fantastic Christmas Eve...

1582
01:14:54,089 --> 01:14:56,390
Together.

1583
01:14:58,093 --> 01:14:59,160
Wow.

1584
01:14:59,261 --> 01:15:02,663
You're... you're okay
with not having a "plan?"

1585
01:15:02,764 --> 01:15:04,165
For us, I mean?

1586
01:15:04,266 --> 01:15:06,000
I still don't have
an actual ending

1587
01:15:06,101 --> 01:15:07,134
for my article,

1588
01:15:07,236 --> 01:15:09,337
but I'm turning
it in anyway.

1589
01:15:09,438 --> 01:15:14,408
So, yeah, yeah.
I guess I am okay.

1590
01:15:15,711 --> 01:15:18,112
You?

1591
01:15:18,213 --> 01:15:19,080
For a "free spirit,"

1592
01:15:19,181 --> 01:15:20,781
I am feeling
weirdly grounded.

1593
01:15:30,392 --> 01:15:32,093
I have to at least try
to wrap this thing up.

1594
01:15:32,194 --> 01:15:33,828
I'm just going
to go grab my laptop.

1595
01:15:35,197 --> 01:15:36,297
There's a really cool old desk
you can work at in here.

1596
01:15:36,398 --> 01:15:37,265
It's been here for ages.

1597
01:15:37,366 --> 01:15:38,933
Used to belong
to my great-grandma.

1598
01:15:39,034 --> 01:15:40,001
Sounds perfect.

1599
01:16:10,866 --> 01:16:12,333
Oh!

1600
01:16:16,238 --> 01:16:17,204
Brady?

1601
01:16:18,774 --> 01:16:19,774
Brady, are you out there?

1602
01:16:22,110 --> 01:16:24,478
"To someone who will one day
write our story."

1603
01:16:25,581 --> 01:16:26,447
Were you calling me?

1604
01:16:26,548 --> 01:16:28,549
Uh, yeah.

1605
01:16:28,650 --> 01:16:30,251
Sorry. I was trying
to find a pen,

1606
01:16:30,352 --> 01:16:31,552
and, uh...

1607
01:16:37,225 --> 01:16:38,526
These are addressed
to my great-grandma mabel,

1608
01:16:38,627 --> 01:16:39,493
in Manhattan.

1609
01:16:39,595 --> 01:16:43,998
Your great-grandma's name
was mabel mcnutt?

1610
01:16:44,099 --> 01:16:45,299
It was her maiden name.

1611
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:46,667
I'm sure she couldn't wait
to change it.

1612
01:16:46,768 --> 01:16:48,102
I know I would.

1613
01:16:48,203 --> 01:16:52,273
Wait, this one's postmarked
"Bethlehem, pa."

1614
01:16:54,176 --> 01:16:55,443
They all are.

1615
01:16:55,544 --> 01:16:57,378
Brady, that's where
my great-grandfather was from!

1616
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,447
Really? That's weird.

1617
01:17:04,319 --> 01:17:05,720
What's wrong?

1618
01:17:12,427 --> 01:17:13,995
"Owen Thomas,

1619
01:17:14,096 --> 01:17:16,931
10 sycamore circle,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania."

1620
01:17:18,300 --> 01:17:19,300
Is that...?

1621
01:17:24,940 --> 01:17:28,476
Why would your great-grandpa

1622
01:17:28,577 --> 01:17:30,778
be writing letters
to my great-grandma?

1623
01:17:34,616 --> 01:17:36,851
Because
she was your old relative

1624
01:17:36,952 --> 01:17:37,852
who acted in the theater,

1625
01:17:37,953 --> 01:17:39,420
who had the world's

1626
01:17:39,521 --> 01:17:43,324
least glamorous name
for an actress,

1627
01:17:43,425 --> 01:17:44,592
so she changed it
to "Jessica rose."

1628
01:17:47,396 --> 01:17:49,230
Brady, do you realize
what this means?

1629
01:17:49,331 --> 01:17:51,365
That your great-grandpa
and my great-grandma

1630
01:17:51,466 --> 01:17:52,466
were once in love?

1631
01:17:56,772 --> 01:17:57,705
And something tells me

1632
01:17:57,806 --> 01:17:58,939
we were supposed
to find these letters.

1633
01:18:01,777 --> 01:18:02,977
Well, go ahead, read one.

1634
01:18:04,546 --> 01:18:05,413
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

1635
01:18:05,514 --> 01:18:06,847
Okay.

1636
01:18:12,587 --> 01:18:13,821
"My darling mabel..."

1637
01:18:13,922 --> 01:18:16,323
He called her "mabel,"
not Jessica.

1638
01:18:16,425 --> 01:18:18,192
"It is with a heavy heart

1639
01:18:18,293 --> 01:18:21,262
that I am forced to say
goodbye to you forever..."

1640
01:18:21,363 --> 01:18:22,530
<i>When you said</i>
<i>accepting the angel</i>

1641
01:18:22,631 --> 01:18:25,066
<i>would mean accepting me</i>
<i>as your husband</i>

1642
01:18:25,167 --> 01:18:27,568
<i>and that your true heart</i>
<i>was in the theater,</i>

1643
01:18:27,669 --> 01:18:29,937
<i>i was crushed.</i>

1644
01:18:30,038 --> 01:18:33,841
<i>But, hard as it is to admit,</i>
<i>i now wonder if that was a</i>
<i>sign,</i>

1645
01:18:33,942 --> 01:18:36,711
<i>maybe even</i>
<i>from the angel herself,</i>

1646
01:18:36,812 --> 01:18:40,014
<i>that we are not destined</i>
<i>to be together,</i>

1647
01:18:40,115 --> 01:18:42,183
<i>and that even greater love</i>
<i>awaits.</i>

1648
01:18:52,027 --> 01:18:53,794
Brady...

1649
01:18:53,895 --> 01:18:58,299
This is the cottage he built
for your great-grandmother,

1650
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,302
with that old blueprint we saw!

1651
01:19:01,403 --> 01:19:02,536
Looks like she found the place
after all.

1652
01:19:02,604 --> 01:19:04,672
And made it
a home away from home

1653
01:19:04,773 --> 01:19:06,240
for her and great-grandpa howe.

1654
01:19:06,341 --> 01:19:08,209
For generations to come.

1655
01:19:08,310 --> 01:19:11,445
So, let's see...

1656
01:19:11,513 --> 01:19:14,248
Owen and mabel
both fell in love again,

1657
01:19:14,349 --> 01:19:16,517
they both had great families,

1658
01:19:16,618 --> 01:19:18,753
and both lived
happily ever after.

1659
01:19:18,854 --> 01:19:20,621
Yeah.

1660
01:19:21,623 --> 01:19:23,424
Looks like that angel knew
what she was doing after all.

1661
01:19:23,525 --> 01:19:26,127
I think she still does.

1662
01:19:26,228 --> 01:19:27,995
Did I tell you she whacked
the heck out of Derek?

1663
01:19:28,096 --> 01:19:30,164
All right!
That's my kind of angel.

1664
01:19:32,634 --> 01:19:34,602
You know what else this means,
don't you?

1665
01:19:36,271 --> 01:19:37,304
Yeah!

1666
01:19:37,405 --> 01:19:40,040
Yes, I now have a phenomenal
ending for my article.

1667
01:19:40,142 --> 01:19:41,041
Oh, not a minute too soon!

1668
01:19:41,143 --> 01:19:43,277
Which is completely great...

1669
01:19:43,378 --> 01:19:44,445
But I wonder

1670
01:19:44,546 --> 01:19:45,980
if maybe the real reason

1671
01:19:46,081 --> 01:19:48,649
our great-grandparents
didn't get together was...

1672
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:49,917
So that we could.

1673
01:19:53,488 --> 01:19:57,758
Are you still thinking
about that move to L.A.?

1674
01:19:57,859 --> 01:20:00,528
Yeah. I'm kind of rethinking
my rethinking.

1675
01:20:00,629 --> 01:20:02,029
Brady, no.

1676
01:20:02,130 --> 01:20:04,231
I told you,
you have to put your work first.

1677
01:20:04,332 --> 01:20:05,533
Why? You didn't.

1678
01:20:05,634 --> 01:20:06,901
What do you mean?

1679
01:20:07,002 --> 01:20:10,938
Um, who left New York without
finishing her do-or-die article

1680
01:20:11,039 --> 01:20:11,939
just to come after me?

1681
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:15,643
Okay, I didn't exactly
"come after" you.

1682
01:20:15,744 --> 01:20:17,411
Oh, you completely did.

1683
01:20:17,512 --> 01:20:20,948
You put me first,
which is huge!

1684
01:20:21,049 --> 01:20:23,050
So, no, I'm not running away...

1685
01:20:25,821 --> 01:20:27,688
And neither are you.

1686
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,267
Actually, you should run away.

1687
01:20:41,436 --> 01:20:42,403
But just for an hour.

1688
01:20:42,504 --> 01:20:43,470
I have an ending to write!

1689
01:20:44,940 --> 01:20:45,940
Okay.

1690
01:21:18,473 --> 01:21:20,207
Make me proud, angel.

1691
01:21:23,645 --> 01:21:25,512
You finished?

1692
01:21:25,614 --> 01:21:28,082
Yep.

1693
01:21:28,183 --> 01:21:29,416
Now we just wait
for tomorrow's paper

1694
01:21:29,517 --> 01:21:31,151
to see if I have a future
as a writer.

1695
01:21:31,253 --> 01:21:33,020
No pressure.

1696
01:21:33,121 --> 01:21:34,388
Well, in the meantime...

1697
01:21:34,489 --> 01:21:36,357
You want to...
Decorate a Christmas tree?

1698
01:21:38,193 --> 01:21:40,194
More than anything.

Congratulations,
Ms. staff writer.

1706
01:22:50,999 --> 01:22:51,899
I couldn't have done it
without you.

1707
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:53,300
No... you couldn't
have done it

1708
01:22:53,401 --> 01:22:54,301
without our
great-grandparents.

1709
01:22:54,402 --> 01:22:56,770
Oh, and the angel,
of course.

1710
01:22:59,774 --> 01:23:01,675
Merry Christmas, Brady.

1711
01:23:01,776 --> 01:23:03,610
Merry Christmas, Susan.
