173
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:22,197
is that he beat me
for senior class president,

174
00:08:22,284 --> 00:08:25,853
and he did it by being
manipulative and cunning and--

175
00:08:25,983 --> 00:08:27,507
Charming?

176
00:08:27,637 --> 00:08:29,030
You were crazy about him
in high school.

177
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,032
And don't you even try
to deny it.

178
00:08:31,162 --> 00:08:32,860
You two were inseparable
senior year.

179
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:34,688
Yeah, well,
that was before he...

180
00:08:37,212 --> 00:08:40,476
Never mind. Whatever.

181
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:43,305
You seem more upset about
losing an election that happened

182
00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:46,482
ten years ago than you are about
the one you lost last week.

183
00:08:46,613 --> 00:08:49,790
Of course I'm not.
Parker just gets under my skin.

184
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,749
He's a good guy, Julia.
Pretty much a town hero.

185
00:08:52,836 --> 00:08:55,273
And on top of being principal,
he runs a leadership program.

186
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,449
Yes, I know.

187
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,930
And he organized all
the holiday events this year.

188
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:02,237
Oh, writing his biography,
are you?

189
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:04,239
The first draft's done,
but I'm hoping

190
00:09:04,369 --> 00:09:06,807
you become a bigger character
in the rewrite.

191
00:09:06,894 --> 00:09:09,331
Anyways, makes sense
that he planned all the events

192
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:12,943
as our mayor needs to be big
on Christmas.

193
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,076
You know,
I'm still conflicted about that.

194
00:09:15,163 --> 00:09:17,687
I know Mayor Rodriguez's plan
helped boost the town

195
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:21,473
when the mill closed, but that
leaves other areas neglected.

196
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,127
You sound like Parker.

197
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:24,520
That's why
the leadership program

198
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:26,348
is the center of his platform.

199
00:09:28,089 --> 00:09:30,091
Platform?
What are you talking about?

200
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:34,443
Well, Parker is set to be
our new mayor.

201
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,619
Wait, what?

202
00:09:36,706 --> 00:09:39,622
Uh, what are you talking about?
Like, mayor of North Falls?

203
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:41,624
Yes.

204
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:44,714
- You've got to be kidding me.
- No, I'm not.

205
00:09:44,801 --> 00:09:47,021
Okay, I didn't seen any signs
around town.

206
00:09:47,151 --> 00:09:49,806
I guess when you're running
unopposed, you don't need signs.

207
00:09:49,893 --> 00:09:51,373
Unopposed?

208
00:09:53,157 --> 00:09:55,116
Wait, what kind of race is that?

209
00:09:55,203 --> 00:09:56,552
I mean,
a job as important as mayor

210
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,380
shouldn't just be handed
to someone.

211
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,382
People should have a choice.

212
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:02,819
No one else stepped up,
and I heard Mayor Rodriguez

213
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,561
had to work her magic
to persuade Parker to run.

214
00:10:07,215 --> 00:10:10,827
Parker Conroy,
mayor of North Falls?

215
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:11,915
[door shuts]

216
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:18,226
- Noah!
- Aunt Julia!

217
00:10:18,313 --> 00:10:20,402
- Hey, hey!
- Hi.

218
00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:22,578
Mm, wait, I thought I wasn't

219
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,406
gonna see you until tomorrow.
Where's your mom?

220
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:26,713
Uh, she had an emergency
Angel Flight to California,

221
00:10:26,843 --> 00:10:27,844
so I'm staying with you!

222
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:29,541
You two are sneaky.

223
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,631
Dad said
he was going to the store.

224
00:10:31,761 --> 00:10:33,110
Noah made me promise
not to tell.

225
00:10:33,241 --> 00:10:35,330
Hey, sorry about your campaign.

226
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:37,549
Next time you should focus
on swing voters.

227
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,248
Boston has almost
600,000 undecided.

228
00:10:40,378 --> 00:10:42,772
Where were you when I was
looking for my campaign manager?

229
00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,644
Probably in gym class
staring at some boy.

230
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:48,125
If you're not 6"4,
I'm not interested.

231
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:50,650
Come on, come inside.
We were just making cookies.

232
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,262
[Lucy] <i>
Are you over Christmas yet?</i>

233
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:56,264
<i>You are, right?
You ready to come home.</i>

234
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,006
Are you really trying to deny me
my mom's homemade eggnog?

235
00:10:59,136 --> 00:11:01,225
- That's just unjolly. <i>
- Sorry.</i>

236
00:11:01,312 --> 00:11:03,706
<i>I thought you wanted to win
your next race.</i>

237
00:11:03,793 --> 00:11:06,491
Of course I do.
I just need to reset, Lucy.

238
00:11:06,622 --> 00:11:08,493
Being home always grounds me.

239
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:09,973
Well, then you need to lay off
the eggnog.

240
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:12,584
That is the opposite
of what I need to do.

241
00:11:12,715 --> 00:11:15,544
Is there something
that you wanna tell me?

242
00:11:15,631 --> 00:11:18,765
- I don't think so.
-[Lucy] <i>Nothing at all?</i>

243
00:11:18,852 --> 00:11:20,680
Well, if you're talking
about Parker...

244
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:23,073
<i>-Wait, who's Parker?
- Who, what?</i>

245
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:27,469
I've, I've...
No one. I just, um...

246
00:11:27,599 --> 00:11:29,689
Yeah, uh, I don't even know
what you're talking about.

247
00:11:29,776 --> 00:11:32,126
Okay, uh,
what's with the stammering?

248
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:34,215
It's not... I'm not...

249
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:36,347
I'm, I'm not stammering.
I'm-I'm...

250
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:39,307
Okay, relax, I'm not talking
about a Parker Whosie-whatsit.

251
00:11:39,437 --> 00:11:42,397
Why did I have to hear from Gwen
that she offered you a job?

252
00:11:42,527 --> 00:11:43,746
<i>I mean, were you even gonna
tell me?</i>

253
00:11:43,877 --> 00:11:45,574
Well...

254
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,925
[sighs] You weren't.
Okay, that's cool.

255
00:11:49,012 --> 00:11:50,405
I'll just be over here
in the dark,

256
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:51,841
you know,
trying to manage your career.

257
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:53,800
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

258
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:55,627
I just needed some time
to think about it.

259
00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:57,194
<i>Well, I think
you should meet with her.</i>

260
00:11:57,281 --> 00:11:58,630
I mean, you've always admired

261
00:11:58,761 --> 00:12:00,763
the Greener Earth Initiative,
Julia.

262
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:02,286
And this'll give you
great exposure

263
00:12:02,373 --> 00:12:04,201
before your next election.

264
00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:06,421
<i>You need to keep
your options open.</i>

265
00:12:06,551 --> 00:12:08,162
Okay, so when
does she wanna meet?

266
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:11,600
Uh, the 24th, in Boston.

267
00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:13,602
They wanna choose someone
before the new year.

268
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:16,126
Who sets a meeting
on Christmas Eve?

269
00:12:16,213 --> 00:12:19,347
- Terrible people.
- Who you want me to work for.

270
00:12:19,477 --> 00:12:22,698
Correct! Gwen doesn't keep
Santa's schedule.

271
00:12:22,785 --> 00:12:25,875
This opportunity will pass
if you don't take the meeting.

272
00:12:26,006 --> 00:12:29,226
<i>-Fine. One meeting.
- Good.</i>

273
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:33,622
Now, go back to your eggnog
and Parker Whosie-whatsit.

274
00:12:33,709 --> 00:12:36,712
Well, stop.
I'm hanging up now. I'm--

275
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,453
Is he hot? What does he
look like? Send me a...

276
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:40,890
-[call disconnects]
- Oh. Damn.

277
00:12:42,413 --> 00:12:44,415
Okay.

278
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:45,852
Once they're in,
you just wanna make sure

279
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:47,854
they're hanging straight.

280
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:49,943
I feel like such a dad
right now.

281
00:12:50,073 --> 00:12:51,771
Did your dad teach you
how to do this?

282
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,252
Nah. He wasn't around much.

283
00:12:56,993 --> 00:12:59,256
I, uh, can relate.

284
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:03,565
You know, there's more than
one way to have a family.

285
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,089
I have my grandpa,
and when I was your age,

286
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:08,091
he taught me how to hang lights.

287
00:13:09,963 --> 00:13:10,877
Thanks.

288
00:13:12,704 --> 00:13:13,836
- Hey, there it is!
- Hey!

289
00:13:13,967 --> 00:13:16,143
[indistinct chatter]

290
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:19,842
[Parker] You can't be
missing me already.

291
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:22,192
You just saw me yesterday.

292
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:24,934
[sighs, mumbles]

293
00:13:25,021 --> 00:13:27,937
And there's the Parker I knew.

294
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:29,939
I told you he was annoying.

295
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:32,463
My old friend, Julia Chen,
former debate-team champion.

296
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:36,380
- You were talking about me?
- Oh, she was.

297
00:13:36,511 --> 00:13:38,992
Uh, Noah, this is Jax.
He just moved to town.

298
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:42,125
How tall are you?

299
00:13:42,212 --> 00:13:44,040
Six-foot-one.

300
00:13:44,127 --> 00:13:46,782
Oof, what a shame.

301
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:49,045
-[Noah] Nice to meet you.
- Same here.

302
00:13:49,132 --> 00:13:51,221
Now, back to you
talking about me.

303
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:52,875
You know, I was only saying
how I'm gonna be pulling

304
00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:54,485
pine needles out of my hair
for a month.

305
00:13:54,572 --> 00:13:56,400
That's a little bit dramatic,
and who doesn't love

306
00:13:56,531 --> 00:13:58,576
the smell of pine,
especially at Christmas?

307
00:13:58,707 --> 00:14:01,362
My mom happened to mention
that you're running for mayor.

308
00:14:01,492 --> 00:14:03,538
Why didn't you mention that
yesterday?

309
00:14:03,625 --> 00:14:06,367
It just felt with our past,

310
00:14:06,497 --> 00:14:09,283
it seemed
a little bit sensitive.

311
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:13,635
What? No way. I'm, I'm good.

312
00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:15,724
- I'm happy for you.
- Thank you.

313
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:17,552
This town has given me
everything,

314
00:14:17,682 --> 00:14:20,990
and now I have the chance
to give back,

315
00:14:21,121 --> 00:14:23,906
so I'm taking it.

316
00:14:24,037 --> 00:14:26,039
Look, are you gonna be at the
tree-lighting ceremony tonight?

317
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:28,563
The least I can do
is buy you a hot chocolate.

318
00:14:28,650 --> 00:14:31,566
You know,
as tempting as that is, um,

319
00:14:31,653 --> 00:14:34,743
I've got a work call with my
campaign manager tonight, so...

320
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,527
I thought you had that
last night.

321
00:14:36,614 --> 00:14:38,312
[Julia] We still have
other things to talk about.

322
00:14:38,442 --> 00:14:41,097
Anyways, uh, my parents' tree
is not gonna decorate itself

323
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:43,230
so, uh, bye.

324
00:14:43,317 --> 00:14:45,449
Bye. See you tonight, then!

325
00:14:45,536 --> 00:14:47,190
Nope. Probably not.

326
00:14:47,321 --> 00:14:50,541
- But probably...
- Not.

327
00:14:50,672 --> 00:14:52,761
- Bye, Noah.
- Bye, Jax.

328
00:14:56,852 --> 00:14:59,420
- Stop.
- I didn't say anything.

329
00:14:59,550 --> 00:15:01,422
[Julia] Okay, and we're ready.

330
00:15:04,947 --> 00:15:07,819
- Oh, that looks so good!
- Oh!

331
00:15:07,950 --> 00:15:10,953
Beautiful! Thank you so much
for your hard work.

332
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:14,130
- Uh, grandma, that was not work.
- Mm-hmm.

333
00:15:14,217 --> 00:15:15,827
- We were happy to do it, mom.
- You know, it's getting dark.

334
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:19,570
- We better get to the ceremony.
- Uh, yeah, you guys go ahead.

335
00:15:19,657 --> 00:15:21,964
I've got a date with George
Bailey and a gallon of eggnog.

336
00:15:22,095 --> 00:15:24,358
Nonsense.
I made you a hot chocolate.

337
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:26,273
And I know you don't want it
go to waste.

338
00:15:30,103 --> 00:15:32,714
Okay, fine, only 'cause I love
your hot chocolate.

339
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:34,977
Let me grab my jacket.
I'll be right back.

[exhales] I can never get sick
of this.

346
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,740
They add more lights every year.

347
00:15:58,827 --> 00:16:01,786
- And still no solar options?
- With what money?

348
00:16:01,917 --> 00:16:04,659
All the extra funds went
in a new gazebo.

349
00:16:04,746 --> 00:16:08,184
Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Chen!
H-how's the tree?

350
00:16:08,271 --> 00:16:11,971
Beautiful! Julia and Noah
just finished decorating it.

351
00:16:12,058 --> 00:16:14,582
Speaking of, where's Julia?

352
00:16:16,453 --> 00:16:18,107
She's, uh...

353
00:16:18,238 --> 00:16:21,415
- Oh, hey!
-[Parker] Hey!

354
00:16:21,502 --> 00:16:24,070
Looks like your phone meeting
was cancelled.

355
00:16:24,157 --> 00:16:26,333
- What phone meeting?
- It's nothing, dad.

356
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,943
It's no big deal.

357
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,727
So how about that hot chocolate?

358
00:16:29,814 --> 00:16:32,121
Oh, you know,
my mom already made some,

359
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:35,081
and no one else's can compare.

360
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:37,866
I'm sure you're right about
that. Some other time, then.

361
00:16:37,953 --> 00:16:39,955
Parker? Parker, come here.

362
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:42,305
Okay, duty calls.
You all have a lovely evening.

363
00:16:42,436 --> 00:16:43,480
Thank you.

364
00:16:45,134 --> 00:16:47,919
- What?
-[Parker] What's going on? Hey.

365
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,660
They moved up
my daughter's induction

366
00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:51,749
to the day after Christmas,
we're, we're gonna have

367
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,013
to move the election
to the 24th.

368
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:56,537
Wa-wa-wait, the-the 24th?
That's only two weeks away.

369
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,887
Yeah, I have to pack,
finish the baby's quilt

370
00:16:58,974 --> 00:17:01,150
and, plus, I'm trying
to campaign for the baby to have

371
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:03,065
a non-gender conforming name.

372
00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:04,893
- Oh, wow, that's great.
- What do you think of River?

373
00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:06,547
I like River.
Isn't that your name?

374
00:17:06,677 --> 00:17:08,810
Oh, yeah.

375
00:17:08,897 --> 00:17:10,899
I thought I had
until after the new year.

376
00:17:10,986 --> 00:17:12,814
I still have to find
my replacement,

377
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:15,077
and the leadership program has
no volunteers this time of year.

378
00:17:15,164 --> 00:17:17,036
[Rodriguez] No problems,
only solutions.

379
00:17:17,123 --> 00:17:19,299
Your first assignment
as North Falls' newest mayor

380
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:21,649
is to put your big-boy pants on
and make it work!

381
00:17:21,736 --> 00:17:23,825
- Okay?
- Okay. I'll try.

382
00:17:23,955 --> 00:17:26,045
I'm gonna be a grandma! Oh!

383
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:27,742
Best Christmas present ever!

384
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:31,224
Congratulations.

385
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:35,097
Hello, my beloved North Falls!

386
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:37,969
Isn't it a perfect night
for a Christmas tree lighting?

387
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,885
[applauding, cheering]

388
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:47,849
This is my 12th year
doing this. Can you believe it?

389
00:17:47,936 --> 00:17:50,112
Who knew back then
that North Falls would become

390
00:17:50,243 --> 00:17:52,767
New England's
number-one holiday destination?

391
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:56,727
I have loved every minute of it.

392
00:17:56,814 --> 00:18:00,340
But as you all know,
my time here is coming to an end

393
00:18:00,427 --> 00:18:02,733
and I'm announcing tonight
that I will be leaving

394
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,997
sooner than expected.
No, for a very happy reason.

395
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:09,653
My grandbaby is coming
sooner than we thought!

396
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:12,003
So we're gonna be having
the election on the 24th.

397
00:18:12,134 --> 00:18:13,614
Of course, it's just a formality

398
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:15,529
because Parker is running
unopposed--

399
00:18:15,616 --> 00:18:17,574
No, he's not!

400
00:18:17,705 --> 00:18:18,706
[indistinct chatter]

401
00:18:20,838 --> 00:18:23,276
Did she just...

402
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:26,235
You can't have a proper election
without being given a choice.

403
00:18:27,802 --> 00:18:31,110
So... I'll give you one.

404
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,592
- I'll run against Parker!
-[indistinct chatter]

405
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:38,378
Julia! Of course!

406
00:18:38,465 --> 00:18:41,337
Oh, I love
a little healthy competition.

407
00:18:41,468 --> 00:18:43,383
Come up here, both of you.
Come up, Parker.

408
00:18:43,513 --> 00:18:44,819
- Come on up.
- Wow.

409
00:18:49,693 --> 00:18:52,479
Ah, I think Julia makes a worthy
opponent, don't you, Parker?

410
00:18:52,566 --> 00:18:55,003
You are not wrong, mayor.

411
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,744
All right,
well, you have two weeks.

412
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:58,746
Shortest campaign ever,
I'm sure.

413
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:02,315
But what a fitting way to end
my term, with a Christmas...

414
00:19:02,402 --> 00:19:06,101
Ooh, wait. Let's call it
a Candy Cane Campaign.

415
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,147
- Oh, I love it!
- That's good.

416
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:10,061
Will you two do the honors?

417
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:11,324
- Yes.
- Sure.

418
00:19:13,064 --> 00:19:15,110
[Parker chuckles]

419
00:19:15,241 --> 00:19:16,851
Are we really doing this again?

420
00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:18,679
Oh, it's on.

421
00:19:18,766 --> 00:19:22,161
Three, two, one!

422
00:19:22,248 --> 00:19:23,727
-[laughter]
-[applause]

423
00:19:23,858 --> 00:19:26,687
[Rodriquez] Beautiful!

424
00:19:26,817 --> 00:19:28,863
- Got to be quick.
- Oh, I'm quick.

[instrumental music]

426
00:19:39,743 --> 00:19:41,702
Hey. Do you really
wanna be mayor?

427
00:19:43,704 --> 00:19:46,097
[sighs] You know,
when I first got back here,

428
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:49,318
all I wanted to do was
lose myself in the holidays.

429
00:19:49,405 --> 00:19:53,714
That's hard for me. I keep
fighting the urge to fix things.

430
00:19:53,844 --> 00:19:55,368
You think
North Falls needs fixing?

431
00:19:55,455 --> 00:19:57,631
I feel like we're so
concerned about keeping the town

432
00:19:57,718 --> 00:20:00,460
authentic for Christmas
that we ignore everything else.

433
00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:02,592
Like, our infrastructure,
it's so antiquated,

434
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:04,594
which means
our emissions are sky high.

435
00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:07,162
Our recycling program,
it's so outdated.

436
00:20:07,249 --> 00:20:08,685
And we have no social programs
to bring awareness

437
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:11,862
to conservation. Sorry.

438
00:20:11,949 --> 00:20:13,864
I get a little carried away
sometimes.

439
00:20:13,995 --> 00:20:17,172
Um, I think it's called passion,
and voters are gonna love it.

440
00:20:17,303 --> 00:20:19,740
- So, keep it up.
- Thanks.

441
00:20:22,046 --> 00:20:26,703
I guess when my hand shot up,
I wasn't even thinking.

442
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,444
Sounds like
your heart made a decision

443
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:30,794
before your mind even knew
what was happening.

444
00:20:30,881 --> 00:20:33,580
[chuckles]
Are you sure you're 16?

445
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:36,278
[chuckles] Mom says I was born
an 80-year-old.

446
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:38,280
But, you know,
I feel more like 32.

447
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:39,499
- Oh, so we're the same age.
- Yeah.

448
00:20:39,586 --> 00:20:41,240
I guess I'm an old soul, huh?

449
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:46,810
[sighs] I miss your mom.
I wish she was home.

450
00:20:46,941 --> 00:20:48,769
Hey, we should call her.

451
00:20:48,856 --> 00:20:51,075
Yeah, it's three hours earlier
in California. It's...

452
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,170
[Julia] Hi!
[Noah] Hi!

453
00:20:59,301 --> 00:21:01,956
<i>Oh, I'm so happy
to see your faces!</i>

454
00:21:02,043 --> 00:21:03,087
- Come home!
- Yeah.

455
00:21:03,174 --> 00:21:04,306
You've missed a ton already.

456
00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:07,178
Hey, Aunt Julia
is gonna be mayor.

457
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:10,181
<i>-Wait, what?
- Running for mayor.</i>

458
00:21:10,312 --> 00:21:12,488
I still have to beat
Mr. Town Hero.

459
00:21:12,575 --> 00:21:14,534
<i>Wait, you're running against
Parker Conroy?</i>

460
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:17,928
Seriously, I say "Town Hero"
and you knew it was Parker?

461
00:21:18,015 --> 00:21:19,930
<i>Everyone knows that,
but you have</i>

462
00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:21,845
<i>just as much of a chance
as he does.</i>

463
00:21:21,932 --> 00:21:23,760
- Thank you.
- Hey, mom.

464
00:21:23,891 --> 00:21:25,936
Uh, do you think you'll be home
in time for Christmas?

465
00:21:26,023 --> 00:21:28,243
<i>I hope so, but my boss said</i>

466
00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:30,289
<i>that there might be
a few more transports.</i>

467
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:31,725
Well, you better be home
for Christmas Eve

468
00:21:31,812 --> 00:21:33,117
'cause I'm gonna need your vote.

469
00:21:33,248 --> 00:21:34,728
Oh, well,
I'm gonna have to review

470
00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:36,991
all the literature
before I make any decisions.

471
00:21:37,078 --> 00:21:39,776
Yeah, ma'am! I'll be sending you
my resume and bio.

- Oh.</i>

to take off.</i>

00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:46,653

<i>Bye! I love you.</i>

- Night, Aunt Julia.
- Goodnight, sweetie.

[instrumental music]

478
00:22:01,407 --> 00:22:03,191
Hey, gramps,
where do you want this?

479
00:22:03,278 --> 00:22:07,021
Okay, uh, to the left.

480
00:22:07,151 --> 00:22:10,111
-[Joe] B-back left. Yeah.
- Left?

- Okay. Back. Ba... Okay, b-back.
- This way?

482
00:22:13,027 --> 00:22:16,247
- Yeah. Turn it on its head.
- Again?

483
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:19,120
- What?
- This gets him every time.

484
00:22:19,207 --> 00:22:21,601
Oh, this is, this is all
for your enjoyment, huh?

485
00:22:21,688 --> 00:22:23,167
-[laughter]
- He's hilarious.

486
00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:26,736
Ah. But it's starting
to come together.

487
00:22:26,823 --> 00:22:28,521
Thanks for your help, Jax.

488
00:22:28,608 --> 00:22:30,349
Well, we had to make things
a little extra special,

489
00:22:30,436 --> 00:22:32,220
considering the Christmas Eve Sock Hop

490
00:22:32,307 --> 00:22:34,831
will basically be
your victory party.

491
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,356
All right, slow down there,
slick. I have to win first.

492
00:22:37,443 --> 00:22:40,097
Julia isn't an easy opponent,
trust me.

493
00:22:40,184 --> 00:22:43,187
I'm having a <i>deja vu</i> over here.

494
00:22:43,274 --> 00:22:44,885
I can't believe,
after all these years,

495
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:47,061
you two are going at it again.

496
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:48,628
Wait, what does that mean?

497
00:22:48,715 --> 00:22:49,890
We ran against each other

498
00:22:49,977 --> 00:22:51,326
for senior class president.

499
00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:53,197
- Ooh-wee!
- Well...

500
00:22:53,328 --> 00:22:55,548
If it hadn't been for that race,

501
00:22:55,678 --> 00:22:57,288
you never would've gotten close.

502
00:22:57,376 --> 00:23:00,248
The plot thickens,
the tea is hot.

503
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:02,598
Tell me more, gramps.

504
00:23:02,685 --> 00:23:07,429
Well, those two used to go at it
like cats and dogs

505
00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:10,737
until they competed
against each other.

506
00:23:10,824 --> 00:23:13,043
Then they found out
they had more in common than

507
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:15,611
they realized,
became best of friends.

508
00:23:15,742 --> 00:23:17,787
Yeah,
until she stopped talking to me.

509
00:23:17,918 --> 00:23:19,049
What happened?

510
00:23:20,964 --> 00:23:23,010
Honestly, I still don't know.

511
00:23:23,097 --> 00:23:25,316
[Joe] But she's back.

512
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:28,189
And I always loved stories
about second chances.

513
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,497
All right, you need to lay off
the Christmas TV movies,

514
00:23:31,584 --> 00:23:33,194
grandpa. He's watching them--

515
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:35,239
Who doesn't love a happy ending?

516
00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:37,633
Yeah, well,
what's my happy ending?

517
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:41,289
Something tells me
it's not to be mayor.

518
00:23:41,376 --> 00:23:44,248
You've already got a job
that you love.

519
00:23:44,379 --> 00:23:46,599
You've barely been there a year.

520
00:23:46,729 --> 00:23:48,688
Wait, so if you win, does that

521
00:23:48,775 --> 00:23:49,863
mean you won't be able
to hang out anymore?

522
00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:51,952
What, no. No, I'm sure--

523
00:23:52,082 --> 00:23:53,127
That's exactly what it means.

524
00:23:53,257 --> 00:23:54,650
Grandpa, the town needed someone

525
00:23:54,737 --> 00:23:56,522
to step up, so I did.

526
00:23:56,609 --> 00:24:00,090
I wanted to do it.
I'm, I'm happy to do it.

527
00:24:00,221 --> 00:24:02,441
I just hope it's worth it.

528
00:24:07,402 --> 00:24:10,187
Mom says she might not be home
in time for Christmas.

529
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:12,625
Well, don't give up hope
just yet.

530
00:24:12,755 --> 00:24:14,844
- Oh, I gotta go.
- Why are you so rushed?

531
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:16,411
At least have some congee.

532
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:18,239
I can't, I have an appointment

533
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:20,154
at the mayor's office,
filing for my candidacy.

534
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:23,113
Will Mr. Conroy be there
with his sidekick?

535
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,507
- What's his name? Jack?
- I don't think so.

536
00:24:25,594 --> 00:24:28,510
Parker already filed.
And, uh, his name is Jax.

537
00:24:28,641 --> 00:24:31,818
But I'm sure
you already knew that.

538
00:24:31,948 --> 00:24:34,951
Hey, hey, hey, pot in
dishwasher. You know the rules.

539
00:24:35,082 --> 00:24:36,170
Your lack of planning is not...

540
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:37,519
[Julia and Noah] My emergency.

541
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:39,478
I know, mom, but I've got to go.
Okay.

542
00:24:42,176 --> 00:24:43,003
[Sylvie] Hold it.

543
00:24:45,396 --> 00:24:47,007
We haven't had any time
to talk about

544
00:24:47,137 --> 00:24:48,835
what is actually happening.

545
00:24:48,922 --> 00:24:51,490
I hope you've thought
this thing through, Julia.

546
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:54,057
Washington was always your dream.

547
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:56,059
You came here
with a whole other life plan

548
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:59,541
and now, poof, you suddenly
want to become mayor?

549
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:01,369
Would that be so bad?

550
00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:03,937
I mean, it takes so long to get
things done at the state level.

551
00:25:04,024 --> 00:25:06,679
Being mayor,
I could take action right away.

552
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:08,855
I feel like this could actually
be a better move for me.

553
00:25:08,985 --> 00:25:12,554
Nothing would make me happier
than having you back home.

554
00:25:12,641 --> 00:25:15,252
Well, I still have to win first,
mom, so don't get your hopes up.

555
00:25:15,339 --> 00:25:16,515
You'd better
get down there, then.

556
00:25:16,602 --> 00:25:18,386
Parker needs a proper opponent.

557
00:25:19,343 --> 00:25:21,345
Thanks, mom.

558
00:25:21,476 --> 00:25:23,739
And don't forget about Christmas
Pictionary tonight at Perked.

559
00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:25,654
Mom, I have so much
on my to-do list.

560
00:25:25,785 --> 00:25:28,657
And Christmas Pictionary
should be at the top.

561
00:25:28,744 --> 00:25:32,008
- It's a tradition.
- I'll be there.

562
00:25:32,139 --> 00:25:34,837
[instrumental music]

563
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:40,669
[Nick] Okay,
Mr. Candy Cane Candidate.

564
00:25:40,756 --> 00:25:42,889
Why are you here?
Haven't you already filed?

565
00:25:42,976 --> 00:25:46,327
Oh, hi to you, too. I'm doing
well. Thank you for asking.

566
00:25:46,457 --> 00:25:50,592
Hey, what do you think? <i>
Night Sky</i> mayor or <i>GQ</i> mayor?

567
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:52,551
- You're an idiot.
- Well...

568
00:25:52,638 --> 00:25:54,683
Our current mayor thought
it'd be a good idea if I met you

569
00:25:54,770 --> 00:25:57,904
here for a photo op, you know,
just to kick off the race.

570
00:25:57,991 --> 00:25:59,253
Hey, what do you think, Nick,
maybe a-a picture

571
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:00,820
in front of the Christmas tree?

572
00:26:00,950 --> 00:26:03,126
- What a good idea.
- I don't think that's a good...

573
00:26:03,257 --> 00:26:04,911
[Parker] Okay. Great.

574
00:26:07,261 --> 00:26:08,262
[Julia] Okay.

575
00:26:14,007 --> 00:26:16,575
-[Julia exhales] Okay.
- Uh, why don't you shake hands?

576
00:26:22,058 --> 00:26:24,321
Can you at least act like
I don't smell? For the picture.

577
00:26:24,408 --> 00:26:26,236
Oh, well, for the record,
you do smell.

578
00:26:26,367 --> 00:26:29,152
Like motor oil and cheese.

579
00:26:29,239 --> 00:26:30,937
Yeah, well, you still smell
like pine needles.

580
00:26:31,024 --> 00:26:33,809
-[laughs]
-[Nick] Okay.

581
00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:35,463
That should be good.
I got some good ones.

582
00:26:35,550 --> 00:26:37,987
- Great.
-[Nick] That's a nice smile.

583
00:26:38,118 --> 00:26:39,510
Thank you.

584
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,513
- Oh, I was talking about Parker.
- Oh.

585
00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:44,298
Second time
our hands have touched.

586
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,388
Are you keeping track?

587
00:26:47,518 --> 00:26:49,042
I assume
you'll both be attending

588
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:50,521
all the holiday festivities?

589
00:26:50,652 --> 00:26:51,784
I'd like to make
sure I have a photographer

590
00:26:51,914 --> 00:26:54,047
to get shots of each event.

591
00:26:54,177 --> 00:26:56,266
Uh, well, I planned them all,
so I'll definitely be there.

592
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:58,399
I'll be there. And I'll have
a few events planned of my own.

593
00:26:58,486 --> 00:27:00,662
- Oh? Really? Like, what?
- Mm-hmm.

594
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:02,011
- Wouldn't you like to know?
- Huh.

595
00:27:02,142 --> 00:27:04,797
I'd like to know.
It's for the paper.

596
00:27:08,322 --> 00:27:10,541
Christmas Pictionary.

597
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,848
Tonight at Perked,
seven o'clock.

598
00:27:12,935 --> 00:27:14,328
- Sounds fun. I'll be there.
- Hm.

599
00:27:15,764 --> 00:27:16,983
- Yay.
-[scatting]

600
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,335
-[indistinct chatter]
-[scatting]

601
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:26,775
[Parker] Hey,
sorry, Jax couldn't be here.

602
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:29,169
Oh. I didn't even notice.

603
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:33,347
Welcome, everyone.
We're ready to start.

604
00:27:33,434 --> 00:27:35,175
So let's get into our teams.

605
00:27:35,262 --> 00:27:37,307
I wanna be on Parker's team.

606
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:39,658
- Hey.
- Hoo!

607
00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:42,182
We are totally gonna lose.
He thinks he's Michelangelo.

608
00:27:42,269 --> 00:27:45,402
Hey, don't forget, grandpa,
we're being timed.

609
00:27:45,533 --> 00:27:46,839
Yeah, I got it,
I got it, I got it.

610
00:27:51,234 --> 00:27:52,540
Julia will start.

611
00:27:56,457 --> 00:27:59,199
[upbeat music]

612
00:28:02,506 --> 00:28:04,291
[George]
Uh, it's-it's an ornament.

613
00:28:04,421 --> 00:28:06,293
A-a donut! C-cookie!

614
00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:08,817
Uh, the-the wedding ring I lost.

615
00:28:08,904 --> 00:28:11,733
A-a Santa. It's Santa.

616
00:28:11,864 --> 00:28:13,039
It's Santa.

617
00:28:14,518 --> 00:28:16,651
I... see...

618
00:28:16,782 --> 00:28:19,393
I see you when you're sleeping?

619
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,527
[Noah] Uh, Santa, Santa,
Santa grinds his teeth.

620
00:28:23,614 --> 00:28:25,442
Santa has a nervous breakdown
and becomes

621
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:27,227
one of those people
who fish in the city--

622
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,446
It's a comb! Comb!

623
00:28:29,533 --> 00:28:32,449
S-saw? Saw!

624
00:28:32,536 --> 00:28:33,799
- Ten seconds!
- Uh...

625
00:28:33,886 --> 00:28:34,800
[George] Santa's cutting down

626
00:28:34,930 --> 00:28:35,844
a Christmas tree.

627
00:28:35,931 --> 00:28:38,412
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus!

628
00:28:38,499 --> 00:28:41,241
[cheering]

629
00:28:46,376 --> 00:28:48,509
-[clears throat]
- Good job.

630
00:28:48,639 --> 00:28:49,902
Y... Yeah, you, too.

631
00:28:52,382 --> 00:28:53,253
Okay.

632
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,127
That was actually really fun.

633
00:28:58,214 --> 00:29:00,347
- It was, huh?
- Mm.

634
00:29:00,477 --> 00:29:03,393
Too bad Jax couldn't make it.
I think Noah was bummed.

635
00:29:03,524 --> 00:29:06,483
Yeah, they, uh, they definitely
seem to have hit it off.

636
00:29:06,614 --> 00:29:08,268
- Yeah.
-[chuckles]

637
00:29:08,355 --> 00:29:10,487
Unlike us when we first met.

638
00:29:10,618 --> 00:29:11,837
And the first thing you did
was make fun

639
00:29:11,924 --> 00:29:13,229
of my below the knee pony boots.

640
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,970
That never happened.

641
00:29:15,057 --> 00:29:16,102
I don't even know
what those are.

642
00:29:16,189 --> 00:29:17,581
What do you mean?

643
00:29:17,668 --> 00:29:20,584
I remember
because I bought them that day.

644
00:29:20,715 --> 00:29:23,196
Well, you know what people say,
when you make fun of someone,

645
00:29:23,283 --> 00:29:25,546
it's because you like them.

646
00:29:25,676 --> 00:29:27,243
So you do remember.

647
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:31,682
Do you remember

648
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,554
the annual
Christmas Eve Sock Hop

649
00:29:33,641 --> 00:29:35,774
at my grandpa's barn?

650
00:29:35,904 --> 00:29:37,297
It's a North Falls tradition.

651
00:29:37,427 --> 00:29:39,778
Yeah, I haven't seen you there
in years.

652
00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:42,650
- Not since senior year.
- Why is that?

653
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:45,653
It doesn't matter anymore.

654
00:29:48,264 --> 00:29:50,614
Okay.

655
00:29:50,701 --> 00:29:52,834
Well, since the election
is on Christmas Eve,

656
00:29:52,921 --> 00:29:54,009
I was thinking
maybe we could have

657
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:57,404
joint, uh,
election night parties.

658
00:29:57,491 --> 00:29:59,449
I mean, the whole town will
already be at the barn, so--

659
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,539
Wait, excuse, you just assume
everyone's gonna be at the barn?

660
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:05,804
Like you said,
North Falls tradition.

661
00:30:05,891 --> 00:30:08,371
Candidates can't have
joint election night parties.

662
00:30:08,458 --> 00:30:09,503
Why not?

663
00:30:09,633 --> 00:30:11,635
Because that's not how it works.

664
00:30:11,722 --> 00:30:15,378
Okay. Well,
what are you gonna do instead?

665
00:30:15,465 --> 00:30:17,293
It's none of your business,
okay?

666
00:30:18,468 --> 00:30:19,992
Anyways, I'm gonna go.

667
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:23,473
Bye.

668
00:30:26,433 --> 00:30:29,131
I did make fun of those boots.
They were so ridiculous.

669
00:30:34,484 --> 00:30:35,572
[instrumental music]

670
00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:37,444
What about Candy Land? Yeah.

671
00:30:37,574 --> 00:30:40,403
We could have different booths
of cookies and candies and--

672
00:30:40,534 --> 00:30:44,407
Ooh, ooh, okay, slow down,
Willie Wonka. I like it.

673
00:30:44,538 --> 00:30:45,844
Wait, but the Christmas
craft fair already offers

674
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:48,237
all that stuff.

675
00:30:48,324 --> 00:30:51,153
You two look like
you're planning a heist.

676
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,547
Oh, we are. We're planning
on taking the election.

677
00:30:53,634 --> 00:30:56,376
Boom! And you're our accomplice,
grandpa.

678
00:30:56,463 --> 00:30:58,465
Well, he can be anything
but the lookout.

679
00:30:58,595 --> 00:31:01,033
All it takes is a peppermint
snickerdoodle to distract him.

680
00:31:01,163 --> 00:31:03,774
Hey, only if it's
your mother's recipe.

681
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,211
So, how can I help?

682
00:31:05,341 --> 00:31:06,647
Can you think
of any Christmas events

683
00:31:06,777 --> 00:31:08,649
that haven't already been done?

684
00:31:08,779 --> 00:31:11,260
You know, this reminds me
of how you and Stella would plan

685
00:31:11,347 --> 00:31:15,482
entire events for your dolls
when you were little.

686
00:31:15,612 --> 00:31:18,615
Then you'd just play with them
for a day and lose interest.

687
00:31:18,702 --> 00:31:20,791
I used to make my dolls
have secret naps together.

688
00:31:20,922 --> 00:31:24,795
Wait, wait, wait. That's it.
Great idea, dad.

689
00:31:24,926 --> 00:31:26,580
We'll do a toy drive.

690
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:28,495
People can donate
their gently-used toys

691
00:31:28,582 --> 00:31:30,018
to kids who need it most.

692
00:31:30,105 --> 00:31:32,412
And it will get people
to recycle.

693
00:31:32,542 --> 00:31:35,154
Yes, because 90 percent
of all toys are plastic.

694
00:31:35,284 --> 00:31:37,591
Yeah, and you could fulfill
your campaign promises

695
00:31:37,678 --> 00:31:38,766
right here in North Falls.

696
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,420
Oh, that's perfect!

697
00:31:40,507 --> 00:31:42,857
Dad, thank you so much.

698
00:31:42,988 --> 00:31:45,599
Okay, um, well,
now we just need to figure out

699
00:31:45,686 --> 00:31:47,383
where to have the toy drive.

700
00:31:47,514 --> 00:31:50,125
To be continued. All right.

701
00:31:50,212 --> 00:31:51,735
- Uh, well, where are you going?
- Uh...

702
00:31:51,822 --> 00:31:53,868
Meet-the-candidate event
at the high school.

703
00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:56,088
I'd ask you to come, but, um,

704
00:31:56,175 --> 00:31:58,307
I think mom just made
a fresh batch.

705
00:31:58,394 --> 00:32:01,049
Oh, well, I think
she's gonna need a taste tester.

706
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:02,616
So, okay, have fun, see ya.

707
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:09,536
Thank you do much for coming.

708
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:11,581
We never turn down free stuff.

709
00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:14,149
Ooh, muffins. Mm.

710
00:32:14,236 --> 00:32:16,543
I would love to talk to you
about my campaign.

711
00:32:16,673 --> 00:32:18,719
I was hoping that you two
would consider voting for me.

712
00:32:18,806 --> 00:32:20,895
We're voting for Parker, dear.

713
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:24,377
You know, Parker doesn't have
the experience that I do.

714
00:32:24,507 --> 00:32:26,988
Oh, it wouldn't be right for us
not to vote for him.

715
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,122
- He's teaching me how to swim.
- What?

716
00:32:30,209 --> 00:32:34,735
She could totally write
a novella about that red Speedo.

717
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:37,085
Oh, there he is now,
the man of the hour.

718
00:32:37,172 --> 00:32:39,087
Hello, Parker.

719
00:32:39,174 --> 00:32:40,567
You know he's single.

720
00:32:40,654 --> 00:32:43,396
[upbeat music]

721
00:33:05,635 --> 00:33:08,508
[inaudible]

722
00:33:11,163 --> 00:33:13,643
Hey, nice to see you. Hi.

723
00:33:16,516 --> 00:33:18,083
[indistinct chatter]

724
00:33:18,170 --> 00:33:19,606
Why are you here, Parker?

725
00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:24,698
You are aware I'm a candidate
in this race, right?

726
00:33:24,785 --> 00:33:26,569
You're asking me why I'm
at a meet-the-candidate event?

727
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,354
The candidate not candidates,
right?

728
00:33:28,441 --> 00:33:29,572
There's no S
at the end of that sentence.

729
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:31,879
Oh, you assumed
when Mayor Rodriguez

730
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,707
set this up,
it was just for you?

731
00:33:33,794 --> 00:33:34,969
There's no S!

732
00:33:35,056 --> 00:33:36,623
She probably ordered that sign

733
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:38,277
before you even joined the race,
which actually

734
00:33:38,364 --> 00:33:39,669
means it was made for me,
I mean,

735
00:33:39,756 --> 00:33:41,541
I was her first pick, after all.

736
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:44,761
- Hm.
- Come on.

737
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:47,677
Just a little friendly
competition, that's all.

738
00:33:47,764 --> 00:33:49,853
It doesn't feel very friendly.

739
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:52,508
I do enjoy riling you up.

740
00:33:52,595 --> 00:33:55,685
You think you have the power
to rile me up?

741
00:33:55,816 --> 00:33:57,252
I am in control
of my own emotions.

742
00:33:57,383 --> 00:33:59,385
Okay, you are aware
you get that little wrinkle

743
00:33:59,472 --> 00:34:01,735
in your brow when you get mad,
I see that hasn't changed

744
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:03,998
since high school.
Well, nothing has, really.

745
00:34:04,129 --> 00:34:06,696
Oh, my... You know,
a lot has changed, okay?

746
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:09,830
- I have changed. Yeah.
- Really?

747
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,138
We're in our high school
campaigning against each other,

748
00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:14,835
driving each other nuts.

749
00:34:14,922 --> 00:34:16,576
- Hm.
- See, there it is again.

750
00:34:18,534 --> 00:34:21,450
Just stay on your side,
and I'll stay on mine.

751
00:34:21,581 --> 00:34:25,106
Okay. It's hard to tell
which is your side. Hm.

752
00:34:25,237 --> 00:34:27,369
[instrumental music]

753
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:29,545
I have so many ideas
about how we can bring

754
00:34:29,676 --> 00:34:31,286
clean energy to North Falls.

755
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:33,636
Uh, we can do so much
to reduce our footprint.

756
00:34:33,723 --> 00:34:35,551
Absolutely,
that's a great question.

757
00:34:35,638 --> 00:34:38,163
My focus is on youth programs.

758
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:40,426
But as the mayor,
my goal is to implement

759
00:34:40,556 --> 00:34:42,384
social services
for the whole community.

760
00:34:44,256 --> 00:34:46,084
[indistinct chatter]

761
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:49,696
This is a chicken teriyaki.

762
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:53,091
Oh, I can smell that.
Thank you.

763
00:35:08,454 --> 00:35:10,586
Rudolph the Red Velvet.

764
00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:12,675
Is it GF and dairy-free?

765
00:35:12,806 --> 00:35:15,678
Uh, maybe.

766
00:35:15,809 --> 00:35:19,726
- I'll take it anyway.
- What are you writing?

767
00:35:19,856 --> 00:35:22,337
I'm logging all my interactions
with the voters.

768
00:35:22,468 --> 00:35:24,557
Aren't you doing the same thing
for Mr. Conroy?

769
00:35:24,687 --> 00:35:27,168
No. I'm just talking to them.

770
00:35:27,255 --> 00:35:29,997
Well, yeah, but you have
to keep track of their votes.

771
00:35:30,084 --> 00:35:33,261
I mean, you don't wanna
go into this election blind.

772
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:36,743
But if you spend all that time
with your nose in a clipboard,

773
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:39,789
you might miss out
on a connection.

774
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,487
That's what Mr. C
always says anyways.

775
00:35:44,925 --> 00:35:48,058
So, um, why'd you move here?

776
00:35:48,189 --> 00:35:50,931
Mm, wasn't really working
and all for me back home.

777
00:35:51,018 --> 00:35:52,976
I kept changing schools, so...

778
00:35:53,063 --> 00:35:55,675
So this is all kind of like
a new beginning for you, then?

779
00:35:55,805 --> 00:36:00,245
Yeah. And I'm starting off by
helping Mr. C win his campaign.

780
00:36:00,332 --> 00:36:02,334
Okay, well, I think
Aunt Julia's the professional,

781
00:36:02,464 --> 00:36:04,074
so she knows what she's doing.

782
00:36:04,205 --> 00:36:08,644
Yeah, but didn't she lose,
like, her last campaign?

783
00:36:08,731 --> 00:36:13,171
Ouch! Hey, what happened
to the easy-going aloof guy?

784
00:36:13,301 --> 00:36:15,869
I think
I kinda liked him better.

785
00:36:15,999 --> 00:36:17,392
Hey, you ever played
this or that?

786
00:36:17,523 --> 00:36:21,396
- Yeah, it's a great way...
- To get to know someone.

787
00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:23,616
- Dogs or cats?
- Oh, dogs. No question.

788
00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:25,835
Cats are better.

789
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:30,318
[Julia] Hey, Lucy,
what's going on?

790
00:36:30,449 --> 00:36:33,103
Just finished my second
therapy session of the week.

791
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:36,585
- She was full of compliments.
-[Julia] <i>Nice.</i>

792
00:36:36,716 --> 00:36:39,632
Okay, I'm gonna say this
as calmy as possible.

793
00:36:39,762 --> 00:36:42,504
What is going on, Julia?

794
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:45,507
Wow! Okay. Jumping right in.

795
00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:47,553
Look, I know you're upset, but--

796
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,817
Is-is there some reason that
I had to hear this through Gwen?

797
00:36:50,947 --> 00:36:52,775
What? How does she even know?

798
00:36:52,906 --> 00:36:54,951
[Lucy] <i>It's in the paper, Julia.
Everybody knows.</i>

799
00:36:55,038 --> 00:36:56,431
The point that you seem to be
missing is that

800
00:36:56,518 --> 00:36:58,216
I am the last one.

801
00:36:58,346 --> 00:36:59,739
Okay, I'm sorry
I didn't tell you.

802
00:36:59,869 --> 00:37:01,784
Honestly,
it happened all so fast.

803
00:37:01,915 --> 00:37:05,223
So much for relaxing
during the holidays, huh?

804
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:07,921
Does this have something to do
with whosie-whatsit?

805
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:10,184
Parker? No.

806
00:37:10,271 --> 00:37:12,317
I mean, okay, he's running
against me, but has no--

807
00:37:12,404 --> 00:37:14,275
Yeah, I saw that
in the paper, too.

808
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:17,191
There was a photo of him.
The guy looks like a model.

809
00:37:17,278 --> 00:37:19,846
He's not a model.
He wishes he was a model.

810
00:37:19,976 --> 00:37:22,457
No model is worth changing
your whole life plan, Julia.

811
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:25,721
Okay, I made that mistake
2.5 times.

812
00:37:25,808 --> 00:37:28,507
- What's the 0.5?
- Catalogue model.

813
00:37:28,594 --> 00:37:30,378
Okay, just come back home
to Boston

814
00:37:30,509 --> 00:37:32,337
and I'll get you back on track.

815
00:37:32,424 --> 00:37:34,556
I can help you prep
with your interview with Gwen.

816
00:37:34,643 --> 00:37:36,036
Okay, you have to admit,

817
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:37,516
being mayor would be
a great experience.

818
00:37:37,603 --> 00:37:40,040
- And if I run next time--
- Ooh. If?

819
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:42,956
I-if? When did running again
become an if?

820
00:37:43,086 --> 00:37:44,740
Don't freak out,
you're the one who said

821
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:46,873
I should keep my options open.

822
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,441
I know that North Falls is
a small town, but being mayor

823
00:37:49,528 --> 00:37:51,965
is still a step up
from city council, Lucy.

824
00:37:52,052 --> 00:37:54,837
You might have a point. Okay,
I think we can work this out.

825
00:37:54,924 --> 00:37:57,187
I'll figure out a way
to spin it.

826
00:37:57,275 --> 00:38:00,234
There's nothing to spin.
I wanna serve my community.

827
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,236
Why can't that community be
North Falls?

828
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:06,893
What if this job is your chance
at Washington, Julia?

829
00:38:07,023 --> 00:38:08,460
Just take the meeting, you know,

830
00:38:08,590 --> 00:38:11,289
even if you are running
for mayor.

831
00:38:11,376 --> 00:38:14,379
Fine, but I need to be back
for my victory party.

832
00:38:14,509 --> 00:38:16,468
Okay, I love
that we're visualizing a win.

833
00:38:16,555 --> 00:38:18,339
But just be realistic, okay?

834
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:21,690
I'll see you in Boston.
I promise.

835
00:38:21,821 --> 00:38:24,476
[instrumental music]

836
00:38:36,749 --> 00:38:38,925
[sighs]
Let's just go.

837
00:38:41,536 --> 00:38:43,451
Did you tweak tables
so you can spy on me?

838
00:38:43,582 --> 00:38:45,540
Maybe I was the one in charge
of the table assignments.

839
00:38:45,671 --> 00:38:47,673
Who knows how these things work?
It's weird.

840
00:38:47,803 --> 00:38:50,676
Either way,
it was to spy on you.

841
00:38:50,806 --> 00:38:51,851
Hi, Jax.

842
00:38:53,983 --> 00:38:55,507
Uh, here,
let me help you with that.

843
00:38:56,812 --> 00:38:58,553
Thanks, Jax.

844
00:38:58,684 --> 00:38:59,815
Why weren't you like that
in high school?

845
00:38:59,902 --> 00:39:01,426
I was moody and misunderstood.

846
00:39:01,513 --> 00:39:03,645
- So emo.
- I was brooding.

847
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:05,473
Are we still talking about you?

848
00:39:09,521 --> 00:39:11,653
Oh.

849
00:39:11,740 --> 00:39:13,873
Forgot the rest of the calendars
in the car.

850
00:39:14,003 --> 00:39:15,614
- I'll get them.
- No, no, it's fine. It's fine.

851
00:39:15,701 --> 00:39:18,225
I got it.
You're already settled.

852
00:39:22,403 --> 00:39:24,492
Uh, so do you live
with your aunt?

853
00:39:24,623 --> 00:39:26,494
No, um, my mom's
out of town for work,

854
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:28,540
so I'm staying at my grandma's.

855
00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:31,499
Oh. Vote Julia Chen for mayor.
Thanks.

856
00:39:34,067 --> 00:39:36,635
- You're still a type-A.
- Proudly.

857
00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:43,859
[instrumental music]

858
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:56,437
Look at us.

859
00:39:56,568 --> 00:39:58,134
Right?

860
00:39:58,221 --> 00:39:59,571
[Parker] You look cute.

861
00:39:59,701 --> 00:40:02,182
You did. You, you did look...

862
00:40:02,312 --> 00:40:04,880
You, you work here... You work.

863
00:40:04,967 --> 00:40:07,100
It's not like it's....

864
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:10,973
That was great English.

865
00:40:11,104 --> 00:40:12,235
It's a good photo.

866
00:40:14,237 --> 00:40:17,763
You have to admit,
we had a blast even if I...

867
00:40:17,893 --> 00:40:20,287
[laughs]
drove you out of your mind.

868
00:40:20,374 --> 00:40:24,291
Yeah. I mean,
you weren't that horrible.

869
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:25,858
Okay.

870
00:40:25,988 --> 00:40:28,730
- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you, I think.

871
00:40:28,817 --> 00:40:31,603
[chuckles] Okay, let me
spin that into a positive.

872
00:40:31,733 --> 00:40:35,258
- Ah, like a good politician.
- Mm-hmm.

873
00:40:35,345 --> 00:40:38,914
There were times where you were
actually pretty tolerable.

874
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:40,612
- Tolerable?
- Yeah.

875
00:40:40,742 --> 00:40:43,789
A half compliment
from Julia Chen. I'll take it.

876
00:40:46,182 --> 00:40:48,750
Wait, wait, wait.

877
00:40:48,837 --> 00:40:50,883
Wasn't this your locker?

878
00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:52,667
You remember
where my locker was?

879
00:40:52,754 --> 00:40:56,671
I do, because mine
was right at the end there,

880
00:40:56,758 --> 00:40:59,544
and I might have seen you
flirting with Travis Hart...

881
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:01,937
- Oh, what?
- A time or two. Yeah.

882
00:41:02,024 --> 00:41:05,419
I wasn't flirting. Oh, no,
I don't even know how to flirt.

883
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:06,855
- Really?
- Yes.

884
00:41:06,986 --> 00:41:09,162
What was this?

885
00:41:09,249 --> 00:41:11,556
[imitating Julia chuckling]

886
00:41:11,686 --> 00:41:14,950
"Travis, my locker is stuck.
Can you help me?"

887
00:41:15,037 --> 00:41:18,432
Okay, that did happen.
But my locker was really stuck.

888
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:20,434
Okay.

889
00:41:20,565 --> 00:41:22,654
Wow, you got a good memory.

890
00:41:28,964 --> 00:41:32,185
- Hm.
- What are you looking for?

891
00:41:32,315 --> 00:41:35,884
All my life goals
used to be written right here.

892
00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:37,669
- Guess they wiped them away.
- Hm.

893
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:41,673
Have they changed?

894
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,979
Well, I mean,
I don't intend on marrying

895
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:47,896
a member of NSYNC,
so, yeah, maybe a little.

896
00:41:47,983 --> 00:41:49,985
I would have taken you
for a Backstreet Boys girl.

897
00:41:50,116 --> 00:41:52,074
-[Julia] A Backstreet Boys girl?
- Just from what I know about ya.

898
00:41:52,205 --> 00:41:53,032
So much.

899
00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:56,078
Thank you. Take these.

900
00:41:56,209 --> 00:41:57,776
Okay. For you. Enjoy.

901
00:41:57,906 --> 00:42:00,300
Thank you so much.

902
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:02,520
Are you bribing people
to come to your sock hop?

903
00:42:02,607 --> 00:42:05,305
My platform is based
on community outreach.

904
00:42:05,435 --> 00:42:07,960
Everyone needs a pair of socks,
so one might say

905
00:42:08,047 --> 00:42:10,136
I'm doing a service.
Here you go.

906
00:42:10,223 --> 00:42:12,442
[chuckles] Okay.

907
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:15,576
I see you live up to your word,
a 100 percent recycled paper.

908
00:42:15,663 --> 00:42:18,013
Yup.
And it's a dual-purpose item.

909
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:19,406
You know,
everyone needs a calendar,

910
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:22,148
so one might say
I'm doing a service, too.

911
00:42:22,278 --> 00:42:25,151
With a toy drive
scheduled on Christmas Eve?

912
00:42:25,281 --> 00:42:28,850
Yeah. Told you I would have
an event. That's it, so...

913
00:42:28,981 --> 00:42:30,460
Well, you know the whole town
has been coming to the barn

914
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,940
for, like, 40 years.

915
00:42:32,071 --> 00:42:33,507
Okay, I'm aware,
but that's because

916
00:42:33,594 --> 00:42:35,248
they've never had
any other options.

917
00:42:35,335 --> 00:42:37,032
There's a difference
between options

918
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:38,425
and splitting the town apart.

919
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:40,514
I am not trying to split
the town apart.

920
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:42,560
Okay? I'm just trying
to give them choices.

921
00:42:45,824 --> 00:42:47,434
People should be together
on Christmas Eve.

922
00:42:49,828 --> 00:42:51,090
Whatever, Parker.

923
00:43:02,231 --> 00:43:03,798
[instrumental music]

924
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,800
Ooh, what about the town square?

925
00:43:05,887 --> 00:43:07,367
Isn't it at night?
We would freeze.

926
00:43:07,454 --> 00:43:09,108
[Sylvie] How about
the high school?

927
00:43:09,238 --> 00:43:12,633
[groans] Parker's high school?

928
00:43:12,764 --> 00:43:13,939
I mean, he has his hands
in everything.

929
00:43:14,026 --> 00:43:15,767
No wonder the mayor
sided with him.

930
00:43:15,854 --> 00:43:17,856
What are you talking about?

931
00:43:17,986 --> 00:43:20,336
Mayor Rodriguez suggested
we do joint events so that

932
00:43:20,423 --> 00:43:22,730
the whole town could be there
when she reads the results.

933
00:43:22,817 --> 00:43:24,602
She might have a point, honey.

934
00:43:24,689 --> 00:43:27,343
Some people are afraid
of change, especially in a town

935
00:43:27,474 --> 00:43:29,563
where tradition
is their livelihood.

936
00:43:29,650 --> 00:43:32,392
Mom, I'm not trying to change
our tradition.

937
00:43:32,479 --> 00:43:35,917
Okay, I just wanna give people
a chance to make new ones.

938
00:43:36,004 --> 00:43:38,441
Besides, if I go to the barn,
it'll be all about Parker.

939
00:43:38,572 --> 00:43:40,226
That's exactly what he wants.

940
00:43:40,356 --> 00:43:43,359
That's not the Parker
I've come to know, Julia.

941
00:43:43,490 --> 00:43:45,579
If you stop letting the past
cloud your judgment,

942
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:47,450
you'd see that.

943
00:43:47,537 --> 00:43:49,975
[scoffs] Okay, I know
a thing or two about politics,

944
00:43:50,062 --> 00:43:51,933
and Parker is playing
straight from the manual.

945
00:43:52,020 --> 00:43:54,675
This is North Falls,
not <i>House Of Cards.</i>

946
00:43:54,762 --> 00:43:57,547
And Parker isn't Luke.

947
00:43:57,635 --> 00:43:59,375
He's not intimidated
by strong women.

948
00:43:59,506 --> 00:44:02,596
- Wait, Luke? Who's Luke?
- Yeah, who's Luke?

949
00:44:02,683 --> 00:44:04,424
Julia's ex-fiance.

950
00:44:04,554 --> 00:44:07,688
Oh, Luke. My ex-fiance.

951
00:44:07,775 --> 00:44:11,126
You know, it's okay to open up
and trust people.

952
00:44:11,213 --> 00:44:13,215
I'm doing the toy drive, okay?

953
00:44:13,302 --> 00:44:14,564
The kids of North Falls
need that

954
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:16,349
more than they need a sock hop.

955
00:44:16,479 --> 00:44:18,046
Now, that I agree with,
just take

956
00:44:18,133 --> 00:44:20,092
Parker out of the whole equation.

957
00:44:20,179 --> 00:44:22,137
How am I supposed to do that?

958
00:44:22,224 --> 00:44:24,444
I'm running against him.
I mean, he's all I think about.

959
00:44:24,531 --> 00:44:26,359
That's abundantly clear.

960
00:44:28,056 --> 00:44:30,319
Ask yourself
why are you doing this.

961
00:44:30,450 --> 00:44:33,453
Focus on that, and you'll get
all the answers you need.

962
00:44:33,583 --> 00:44:36,325
I'm trying, but then
he says or does something,

963
00:44:36,412 --> 00:44:38,545
and I go right back to acting
like I'm in high school.

964
00:44:38,632 --> 00:44:40,242
So basically you're saying

965
00:44:40,329 --> 00:44:41,896
nothing changes
after high school?

966
00:44:41,983 --> 00:44:44,290
It changes. I promise.

967
00:44:44,377 --> 00:44:46,858
I'm not the same person as I was
back then.

968
00:44:46,945 --> 00:44:50,557
And if you've changed,
is it possible Parker has, too?

969
00:44:57,433 --> 00:44:58,565
[Parker] All right same deal,
guys.

970
00:44:58,652 --> 00:45:00,219
Bounce! Right-hand bounce.

971
00:45:00,349 --> 00:45:02,874
There we go. Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig.

972
00:45:02,961 --> 00:45:05,441
Right hand. Get low.
That's what I'm talking about.

973
00:45:05,572 --> 00:45:06,878
Jax, eyes up.

974
00:45:07,008 --> 00:45:10,142
Really good work. Dig. Dig. Dig.

975
00:45:10,229 --> 00:45:11,709
Keep pushing, guys.

976
00:45:13,928 --> 00:45:15,408
All right. All right. All right.

977
00:45:18,150 --> 00:45:19,891
[whistle blows]

978
00:45:21,501 --> 00:45:23,372
Great job, guys.
Uh, water break.

979
00:45:30,292 --> 00:45:32,164
Figured you'd be here.

980
00:45:32,251 --> 00:45:33,948
If you came here looking
to continue our argument--

981
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:35,428
You really have made
a positive impact

982
00:45:35,558 --> 00:45:37,517
to the people in this town.

983
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:39,258
Just came here to tell you that.

984
00:45:44,785 --> 00:45:46,047
So, no apology?

985
00:45:50,617 --> 00:45:54,664
Joke. It was, it was a bad joke.

986
00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,102
I did forget to tell you
one thing.

987
00:45:58,625 --> 00:45:59,757
Let me see this.

988
00:46:04,979 --> 00:46:08,069
[all cheering]

989
00:46:08,156 --> 00:46:10,768
- I'm still gonna beat you.
- All right, bring it on, Chen.

990
00:46:10,855 --> 00:46:12,770
Um, yeah, she's on my team!

991
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,816
All right, here we go, guys,
four on four. Julia, you're in.

992
00:46:15,903 --> 00:46:18,645
[R&B song playing]

993
00:46:32,615 --> 00:46:33,573
Close.

994
00:46:33,703 --> 00:46:36,489
[R&B song playing]

995
00:46:54,072 --> 00:46:55,160
[cell phone ringing]

996
00:47:05,126 --> 00:47:06,606
You know, it's bad enough
they smoke me every time,

997
00:47:06,736 --> 00:47:08,173
now you have to help them?

998
00:47:08,303 --> 00:47:11,002
Hey, they didn't need my help.

999
00:47:11,089 --> 00:47:12,568
They're all pretty much
superheroes.

1000
00:47:12,655 --> 00:47:14,266
- Right?
- You know...

1001
00:47:14,353 --> 00:47:16,311
It's clear they feel
the same way about you.

1002
00:47:18,618 --> 00:47:19,837
All right, watch this.

1003
00:47:22,709 --> 00:47:24,929
- That game was just my warm-up.
- Oh!

1004
00:47:25,059 --> 00:47:26,147
- Okay?
- Okay.

1005
00:47:28,062 --> 00:47:29,629
[laughs]

1006
00:47:29,716 --> 00:47:32,327
And that's how you guys lost.

1007
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:36,201
- What happened?
- Uh, don't worry.

1008
00:47:36,331 --> 00:47:37,985
They'll come back on.
They always do.

1009
00:47:38,116 --> 00:47:40,335
[electricity crackling]

1010
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,515
See? Clockwork.

1011
00:47:46,602 --> 00:47:49,867
Okay, this place needs some TLC.

1012
00:47:49,997 --> 00:47:53,871
Well, the electrical system
is as old as the building,

1013
00:47:53,958 --> 00:47:56,134
but city council
would rather spend money

1014
00:47:56,221 --> 00:47:58,876
on creating
an authentic holiday experience.

1015
00:47:59,006 --> 00:48:02,488
A rundown gym for local kids
is somehow not as important

1016
00:48:02,618 --> 00:48:06,274
as a new gazebo
and a tree-lighting ceremony.

1017
00:48:06,361 --> 00:48:09,538
Uh, what about everybody
that lives here all year round?

1018
00:48:09,669 --> 00:48:13,238
Authentic is one thing,
but, Parker, this is rundown.

1019
00:48:16,458 --> 00:48:19,374
So why didn't you make this
a part of your campaign?

1020
00:48:19,461 --> 00:48:22,682
Because my campaign is focused
on community outreach.

1021
00:48:22,812 --> 00:48:24,292
As far as I'm concerned,
nothing is more important--

1022
00:48:24,379 --> 00:48:27,208
Okay, I get it,
but the gym is a part of that.

1023
00:48:36,957 --> 00:48:39,612
Okay, how about

1024
00:48:39,742 --> 00:48:41,962
I make it a part of my campaign?

1025
00:48:42,049 --> 00:48:43,616
Right, we can do
the toy drive here.

1026
00:48:43,703 --> 00:48:48,055
We can, um, we can get raffles
and, um, sponsors.

1027
00:48:48,142 --> 00:48:49,970
We can use that money
to fix this place up.

1028
00:48:50,101 --> 00:48:53,626
In an eco-friendly way,
of course.

1029
00:48:53,756 --> 00:48:55,976
Look, I guess it's worth a shot.

1030
00:48:56,063 --> 00:48:58,152
But honestly, I don't know
if it's gonna do anything.

1031
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,502
Well, all we can do is try.
Right?

1032
00:49:00,633 --> 00:49:01,851
We have to bring awareness
to the problem

1033
00:49:01,982 --> 00:49:03,549
before we can fix it.

1034
00:49:03,636 --> 00:49:05,029
And we're gonna need people
to do the work,

1035
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:09,598
so it fits perfectly
with my jobs program.

1036
00:49:09,685 --> 00:49:12,645
I don't know if it's gonna work,
but I like your enthusiasm.

1037
00:49:15,648 --> 00:49:18,172
[Julia] He's pretty great, huh?

1038
00:49:18,259 --> 00:49:20,479
Even if he's not 6"4.

1039
00:49:20,566 --> 00:49:23,090
We're, we're just friends.

1040
00:49:23,221 --> 00:49:26,702
So if you're just friends,
why are you avoiding him?

1041
00:49:26,833 --> 00:49:28,661
I'm not avoiding him.

1042
00:49:28,748 --> 00:49:31,794
Yeah, I'm just busy
with this wreath.

1043
00:49:31,925 --> 00:49:34,667
Noah, I've got these wreaths.

1044
00:49:39,411 --> 00:49:40,978
Living is so challenging.

1045
00:49:44,851 --> 00:49:45,983
You look great.

1046
00:49:56,254 --> 00:49:58,473
Hi. You look happy.

1047
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,998
I am. What are you doing here?

1048
00:50:01,128 --> 00:50:02,260
Thought you could use some help.

1049
00:50:02,347 --> 00:50:04,218
That's nice of you.

1050
00:50:04,305 --> 00:50:06,046
But we're almost finished.

1051
00:50:06,133 --> 00:50:08,570
Wait, shouldn't you be out
canvassing?

1052
00:50:08,701 --> 00:50:10,268
I don't want you to miss out
on any votes.

1053
00:50:10,355 --> 00:50:12,922
Well, I could say the same
for you.

1054
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:16,709
I'm sure Jax and Mr. Smooth
could finish up.

1055
00:50:16,839 --> 00:50:19,712
No. This is where I wanna be.

1056
00:50:19,842 --> 00:50:22,454
And this place looks amazing.

1057
00:50:22,584 --> 00:50:25,283
I, I can't believe
how much you guys have done

1058
00:50:25,413 --> 00:50:27,067
in such a short time.

1059
00:50:27,154 --> 00:50:30,897
You know, my last campaign

1060
00:50:30,984 --> 00:50:34,205
was all about shaking hands
and making speeches.

1061
00:50:34,292 --> 00:50:36,424
And it was so exhausting
that I think I forgot

1062
00:50:36,511 --> 00:50:38,209
why I was doing it
in the first place.

1063
00:50:39,775 --> 00:50:42,387
Then I came back here and, um...

1064
00:50:43,431 --> 00:50:44,693
I remembered.

1065
00:50:49,524 --> 00:50:53,006
Anyways, I, uh, I need a place
for my toy drive,

1066
00:50:53,137 --> 00:50:55,269
so it's a win-win.

1067
00:50:55,356 --> 00:50:57,576
Well, if this turns out
as well as I think it will,

1068
00:50:57,706 --> 00:50:59,708
I might just have to crash
this party.

1069
00:50:59,795 --> 00:51:02,189
- Crash my party, Parker?
- I might just have--

1070
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,800
- Stay away! Mm-hmm.
- It looks like a pretty party.

1071
00:51:04,931 --> 00:51:07,803
Aww... It's so cute
when old people flirt.

1072
00:51:07,890 --> 00:51:09,588
[indistinct chatter]

1073
00:51:10,763 --> 00:51:12,330
Yeah, and then it was...

1074
00:51:12,417 --> 00:51:14,201
My grandma thinks that
they fell for each other

1075
00:51:14,332 --> 00:51:15,724
when they were our age.

1076
00:51:15,811 --> 00:51:18,553
- Ugh! Cheesy.
- So cheesy.

1077
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,339
- Uh, what are they doing?
- I have no idea.

1078
00:51:21,469 --> 00:51:23,993
[Jax] Oh, is he dancing again?
[Noah] Oh, yeah.

1079
00:51:24,124 --> 00:51:26,605
They need to stop.
Uh, it's embarrassing.

1080
00:51:28,389 --> 00:51:30,652
- Doing it now? It's time?
- I am.

1081
00:51:30,783 --> 00:51:34,439
Okay, all right.
Gather up, everyone. Focus.

1082
00:51:34,526 --> 00:51:38,225
Ready? Three, two, one.

1083
00:51:38,356 --> 00:51:41,402
- Hey!
- Hey! Wow!

1084
00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:44,710
Guys, I can't thank you enough
for helping out today.

1085
00:51:44,797 --> 00:51:46,886
I mean, look at this place!

1086
00:51:46,973 --> 00:51:49,106
Hey, everyone,
a round of applause for Julia.

1087
00:51:52,892 --> 00:51:55,721
Flip-flops or toe shoes?

1088
00:51:55,808 --> 00:51:59,246
- Oh. Flip-flops.
- Yeah, okay.

1089
00:52:00,987 --> 00:52:02,467
I don't want this day to end.

1090
00:52:03,903 --> 00:52:05,252
Well, it's not over yet.

1091
00:52:07,036 --> 00:52:10,257
- Come on. Gents.
- What are you guys up to?

1092
00:52:10,344 --> 00:52:12,129
What are you guys up to?

1093
00:52:18,004 --> 00:52:20,615
<i>♪ Joy to the world
the Lord is come ♪</i>

1094
00:52:20,746 --> 00:52:23,140
<i>♪ Let Earth receive ♪</i>

1095
00:52:23,227 --> 00:52:24,880
You know, all of this
is really helping Noah forget

1096
00:52:24,967 --> 00:52:27,970
his mom might not be home
for Christmas.

1097
00:52:28,101 --> 00:52:30,582
I'm sure having Jax around,
it doesn't hurt much either.

1098
00:52:30,669 --> 00:52:34,760
<i>♪ Heaven and nature sing
and heaven and nature sing ♪</i>

1099
00:52:34,847 --> 00:52:39,765
<i>♪ And heaven and heaven
and nature sing ♪</i>

1100
00:52:39,852 --> 00:52:41,419
- Yeah! Whoo!
- Whoo!

1101
00:52:41,506 --> 00:52:43,160
[cheering and applause]

1102
00:52:49,122 --> 00:52:51,037
They make love look so easy.

1103
00:52:53,518 --> 00:52:56,173
Why didn't you date anyone
in high school?

1104
00:52:58,827 --> 00:53:02,701
Um, too busy, I guess.

1105
00:53:04,616 --> 00:53:07,140
But you weren't, were you?

1106
00:53:07,271 --> 00:53:09,142
You had Laura Combs.

1107
00:53:09,229 --> 00:53:11,536
Laura Combs? No.

1108
00:53:11,666 --> 00:53:13,625
- Come on. You two dated.
- No.

1109
00:53:13,712 --> 00:53:15,975
No, no, no. Absolutely not.

1110
00:53:16,062 --> 00:53:18,195
I saw you two
at the Christmas Eve Sock Hop,

1111
00:53:18,282 --> 00:53:19,892
senior year.

1112
00:53:20,022 --> 00:53:22,416
Slow dancing and then a kiss.

1113
00:53:22,547 --> 00:53:23,374
Okay.

1114
00:53:24,984 --> 00:53:27,247
This is what actually happened.

1115
00:53:27,334 --> 00:53:29,902
She asked me to dance,

1116
00:53:29,989 --> 00:53:32,426
we were under the mistletoe,

1117
00:53:32,513 --> 00:53:34,515
she leaned in, I panicked.

1118
00:53:35,821 --> 00:53:36,909
We kissed.

1119
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:40,565
But that was it,
it didn't mean anything.

1120
00:53:42,784 --> 00:53:45,439
How do you even remember that?

1121
00:53:45,526 --> 00:53:48,225
It was memorable...

1122
00:53:48,312 --> 00:53:50,227
because I wanted to be
in her place.

1123
00:53:55,319 --> 00:53:58,278
You know, that's why I haven't
been in a sock hop since.

1124
00:53:58,409 --> 00:54:01,890
That's why
you stopped talking to me?

1125
00:54:02,021 --> 00:54:04,415
I was pretty beat up about that
if you wanna know the truth.

1126
00:54:04,502 --> 00:54:07,983
I was gonna tell you I liked you
that night, but then...

1127
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:10,986
- Laura.
- Laura.

1128
00:54:11,117 --> 00:54:12,510
You know,
I had a whole speech planned

1129
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,077
with the pros and cons
of us being together.

1130
00:54:15,164 --> 00:54:18,603
You modeled your love profession
after a debate round?

1131
00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:20,169
It seemed very logical to me.
Okay.

1132
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:22,694
And "love"
is pushing it a little.

1133
00:54:22,824 --> 00:54:25,174
Don't let your head get all big
over this. Okay?

1134
00:54:25,262 --> 00:54:27,351
- That was a long time ago.
-[Jax] Ahem.

1135
00:54:27,438 --> 00:54:29,266
- Uh...
- Yes, Jax?

1136
00:54:29,396 --> 00:54:31,616
- We wanna take a photo.
- Sure.

1137
00:54:31,703 --> 00:54:33,705
I mean, photos are a big part
of the campaign trail.

1138
00:54:33,835 --> 00:54:36,490
So go ahead. You wanna
just shoot us right here?

1139
00:54:36,577 --> 00:54:38,144
- How do I look?
- You look great.

1140
00:54:39,450 --> 00:54:41,974
Oh-oh, we-we meant of-of us.

1141
00:54:42,104 --> 00:54:44,977
- Like, take a photo of us.
- Yeah.

1142
00:54:45,064 --> 00:54:46,674
- That's what... That's what...
- Yeah, of course.

1143
00:54:46,805 --> 00:54:48,023
- We knew that.
- That's what we meant.

1144
00:54:48,154 --> 00:54:48,981
- We'll take a photo of you.
- Yeah.

1145
00:54:49,111 --> 00:54:51,288
Cool.

1146
00:54:51,375 --> 00:54:53,072
[Julia] Well, how do I turn off
the flash?

1147
00:54:53,159 --> 00:54:55,640
[Parker] Turn off the flash?
It's right there.

1148
00:54:55,727 --> 00:54:57,903
Since when does it take
two people to take a photo?

1149
00:54:57,990 --> 00:54:59,818
- Apparently, today.
- Yeah.

1150
00:54:59,905 --> 00:55:02,211
How about you guys join us?

1151
00:55:02,299 --> 00:55:04,431
Come. N-n-no, no, it's all good.

1152
00:55:04,518 --> 00:55:06,651
Come, come, come.
We'll-we'll show you.

1153
00:55:06,781 --> 00:55:09,088
- I mean, if you guys insist.
- We'll show you all the way.

1154
00:55:09,218 --> 00:55:11,177
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Only because you asked.

1155
00:55:11,264 --> 00:55:13,440
- Okay? It's fine.
- All right, let's get everyone.

1156
00:55:13,571 --> 00:55:15,790
- So it's the button at the top--
- I'm gonna smack you.

1157
00:55:15,921 --> 00:55:18,837
Everyone's in? All right,
lean in. Ready, one, two, three.

1158
00:55:21,187 --> 00:55:23,624
All right. Thank you.

1159
00:55:23,711 --> 00:55:26,497
- Thank you.
- Well, good job, you guys.

1160
00:55:26,584 --> 00:55:29,891
Okay, well, we should call it.
We have our debate tomorrow.

1161
00:55:29,978 --> 00:55:32,154
Debate? What debate?

1162
00:55:32,241 --> 00:55:34,592
Shoot, sorry. I think I forgot
to send you that email.

1163
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:37,290
I was hanging out with Jax.

1164
00:55:37,421 --> 00:55:38,683
What were you guys doing?

1165
00:55:38,770 --> 00:55:40,206
- Shopping.

1166
00:55:40,293 --> 00:55:42,295
- Toy drive.
- Shopping.

1167
00:55:42,382 --> 00:55:45,603
- We were, I mean, together.
- Hanging out.

1168
00:55:45,690 --> 00:55:48,040
Pretty clear
that's what you guys were doing.

1169
00:55:48,127 --> 00:55:49,563
- Thanks.
- Sorry.

1170
00:55:49,650 --> 00:55:52,349
[instrumental music]

1171
00:56:01,270 --> 00:56:03,229
[indistinct whispering]

1172
00:56:04,752 --> 00:56:06,232
This is exciting.

1173
00:56:07,755 --> 00:56:09,670
Is that blazer from high school?

1174
00:56:09,801 --> 00:56:12,107
- It is.
- Still fits.

1175
00:56:12,238 --> 00:56:13,065
Thank you.

1176
00:56:15,110 --> 00:56:16,547
I see you still don't believe
in note cards.

1177
00:56:16,677 --> 00:56:17,983
I see you still over-prepare.

1178
00:56:18,070 --> 00:56:19,767
Well, winging it

1179
00:56:19,854 --> 00:56:21,508
isn't exactly
a winning strategy.

1180
00:56:21,595 --> 00:56:23,597
No, but speaking
from your heart is.

1181
00:56:23,684 --> 00:56:26,034
People would rather hear that
than some canned speech.

1182
00:56:26,165 --> 00:56:28,472
It's only canned if you don't
know what you're talking about.

1183
00:56:28,602 --> 00:56:30,648
Welcome to North Falls
Candy Cane Candidate

1184
00:56:30,778 --> 00:56:32,040
Mayoral Debate!

1185
00:56:32,127 --> 00:56:33,564
[applauding]

1186
00:56:35,696 --> 00:56:38,351
We thought it'd be fun
to film in the very classroom

1187
00:56:38,438 --> 00:56:41,006
Julia and Parker faced off
against each other

1188
00:56:41,093 --> 00:56:43,008
in speech and debate
when they were students

1189
00:56:43,095 --> 00:56:44,357
right here at North Falls High.

1190
00:56:44,444 --> 00:56:46,533
- So fun.
- So fun.

1191
00:56:46,664 --> 00:56:50,842
And to the viewers at home,
tomorrow is the big day.

1192
00:56:50,929 --> 00:56:53,888
And I know replacing me
is gonna be tough.

1193
00:56:53,975 --> 00:56:56,325
Impossible, even.

1194
00:56:56,413 --> 00:56:58,371
You might be thinking
to yourself,

1195
00:56:58,502 --> 00:57:02,897
[sighs] "Why bother?
It's only downhill from here."

1196
00:57:02,984 --> 00:57:04,899
But we're hoping
this little debate will help

1197
00:57:04,986 --> 00:57:07,162
make your decision
a little bit easier.

1198
00:57:07,249 --> 00:57:11,384
So without further ado,
please welcome Julia Chen.

1199
00:57:11,515 --> 00:57:13,212
Try to keep up, and it's okay
if you don't know

1200
00:57:13,299 --> 00:57:14,953
what our steering measures mean.

1201
00:57:15,083 --> 00:57:16,433
[applauding]

1202
00:57:18,783 --> 00:57:20,828
I have a vague understanding
of what it means.

1203
00:57:20,915 --> 00:57:23,614
[instrumental music]

1204
00:57:28,923 --> 00:57:30,316
[applauding]

1205
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:33,841
Thank you all
for being here tonight.

1206
00:57:33,972 --> 00:57:36,148
And thank you, mayor,
for having me.

1207
00:57:36,278 --> 00:57:39,020
Next up, standing at 6-foot-2,

1208
00:57:39,151 --> 00:57:41,066
and no signs
of visibly thinning hair,

1209
00:57:41,196 --> 00:57:43,851
it's Parker Conroy!

1210
00:57:43,938 --> 00:57:45,636
[applauding]

1211
00:57:46,854 --> 00:57:49,466
[upbeat music]

1212
00:57:55,994 --> 00:57:58,649
[audience cheering]

1213
00:58:12,184 --> 00:58:13,881
Oh, hi, Mr. President.

1214
00:58:14,012 --> 00:58:15,666
Thanks for wishing me luck
on the debate.

1215
00:58:20,888 --> 00:58:22,847
Good luck, candidates.

1216
00:58:22,977 --> 00:58:26,415
Oh, first question is for you,
Parker.

1217
00:58:26,503 --> 00:58:30,376
Mr. Conroy, what makes you
qualify to be our next mayor?

1218
00:58:32,291 --> 00:58:34,032
[Parker] Uh, good question.

1219
00:58:36,295 --> 00:58:39,254
Uh, does love for my community
count?

1220
00:58:39,341 --> 00:58:41,953
- Absolutely.
-[Parker chuckles]

1221
00:58:42,083 --> 00:58:45,565
Look, I don't have
any experience in politics.

1222
00:58:45,696 --> 00:58:47,262
- That's true.
-[Parker] That's true.

1223
00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:50,048
But I do have the experience
in helping people.

1224
00:58:50,135 --> 00:58:52,485
I've dedicated
the last ten years of my life

1225
00:58:52,572 --> 00:58:54,226
in service to this community,

1226
00:58:54,313 --> 00:58:56,576
and I will continue to do that
as your mayor.

1227
00:58:56,663 --> 00:58:58,970
So if you want your next mayor
to focus on people

1228
00:58:59,057 --> 00:59:00,711
and not politics...

1229
00:59:00,798 --> 00:59:02,277
[woman] Yes.
[man] Yeah.

1230
00:59:02,408 --> 00:59:03,235
I'm your guy.

1231
00:59:03,365 --> 00:59:06,194
[applauding]

1232
00:59:08,196 --> 00:59:12,679
Okay, Ms. Chen, uh, this
question is from Ms. Nelson.

1233
00:59:12,810 --> 00:59:14,551
Why would we vote for you
when you've been away

1234
00:59:14,681 --> 00:59:18,076
from North Falls for so long?

1235
00:59:18,163 --> 00:59:19,468
You know, after spending
the holidays with you all

1236
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:21,601
these past few weeks,

1237
00:59:21,732 --> 00:59:24,082
the bigger question
I have for myself is

1238
00:59:24,169 --> 00:59:25,692
"Why did I leave?"

1239
00:59:25,779 --> 00:59:27,564
I mean, we are a town
steeped in history.

1240
00:59:27,694 --> 00:59:29,522
And I would never change that.

1241
00:59:29,609 --> 00:59:31,524
But we can keep our tradition

1242
00:59:31,611 --> 00:59:34,266
and still make positive changes
for the future.

1243
00:59:34,353 --> 00:59:37,443
I wanna bring sustainable
development to North Falls.

1244
00:59:37,530 --> 00:59:39,663
I wanna commit us
to reducing global warming.

1245
00:59:39,793 --> 00:59:42,970
And by doing that, we can create
more opportunities

1246
00:59:43,057 --> 00:59:47,235
with higher-paying jobs and jobs
that last all year round, right,

1247
00:59:47,366 --> 00:59:49,368
so we wouldn't have to rely on
the Christmas rush to get us by.

1248
00:59:49,455 --> 00:59:51,239
That's a nice sound bite,
Ms. Chen.

1249
00:59:51,370 --> 00:59:54,112
But sustainable development
would need a massive budget.

1250
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:56,418
How do you plan
on acquiring the funds?

1251
00:59:56,505 --> 00:59:58,290
Well, that's where
my experience in politics

1252
00:59:58,377 --> 01:00:01,554
comes in, Mr. Conroy.

1253
01:00:01,641 --> 01:00:03,382
North Falls needs a mayor
who has experience

1254
01:00:03,469 --> 01:00:05,819
in fund-raising and partnership.

1255
01:00:05,906 --> 01:00:08,126
So thank you for allowing me
to highlight that.

1256
01:00:08,213 --> 01:00:12,086
Now, if I can finish answering
my original question,

1257
01:00:12,217 --> 01:00:14,567
you should vote for me because
I see North Falls for what it is

1258
01:00:14,698 --> 01:00:17,091
and for what it could be.

1259
01:00:17,222 --> 01:00:19,485
Nothing would make me prouder
than to use my experiences

1260
01:00:19,616 --> 01:00:22,314
while away
to serve this community.

1261
01:00:22,444 --> 01:00:23,968
-[woman] Whoo!
- Thank you.

1262
01:00:24,098 --> 01:00:25,534
[applauding]

1263
01:00:25,665 --> 01:00:28,320
[Rodriguez] Mr. Conroy,
do you have a rebuttal?

1264
01:00:30,801 --> 01:00:33,325
That was pretty good. Um...

1265
01:00:33,455 --> 01:00:34,935
How am I supposed
to follow that?

1266
01:00:42,116 --> 01:00:43,378
That was actually fun.

1267
01:00:43,465 --> 01:00:44,815
Remember prepping
for the speech

1268
01:00:44,945 --> 01:00:46,817
and debate State Championship?

1269
01:00:46,904 --> 01:00:48,035
You were way tougher on me
than the actual competition.

1270
01:00:48,166 --> 01:00:51,169
Wait, but-but you won.
Didn't you?

1271
01:00:51,299 --> 01:00:52,866
- Yes. I did.
- You did. Yes.

1272
01:00:52,953 --> 01:00:55,303
So what you're saying is
I was good for something.

1273
01:00:55,390 --> 01:00:59,046
- Eh, you had your moments.
- Right?

1274
01:00:59,133 --> 01:01:01,788
You know, no one has ever
challenged me the way you did.

1275
01:01:01,875 --> 01:01:04,791
Or do.

1276
01:01:04,878 --> 01:01:06,793
Is that a good thing
or a bad ting?

1277
01:01:08,752 --> 01:01:10,275
Well, debating you back then
taught me

1278
01:01:10,362 --> 01:01:12,538
that my point of view mattered.

1279
01:01:12,669 --> 01:01:13,931
I never would've gotten
into politics

1280
01:01:14,018 --> 01:01:15,628
if I hadn't experienced that.

1281
01:01:15,715 --> 01:01:17,282
Yeah, you would've,
I don't think

1282
01:01:17,369 --> 01:01:18,544
anything could've stopped you.

1283
01:01:20,851 --> 01:01:24,245
How come you never considered
running at the state level?

1284
01:01:24,376 --> 01:01:27,509
I never wanted to leave
North Falls.

1285
01:01:27,596 --> 01:01:31,688
Christmases were, were horrible
for me when I was a kid.

1286
01:01:31,818 --> 01:01:34,212
But that first Christmas
when I moved here

1287
01:01:34,342 --> 01:01:37,432
just, just changed my life.

1288
01:01:37,563 --> 01:01:40,784
I was finally
part of a community.

1289
01:01:40,871 --> 01:01:42,829
That's when I knew
I never wanted to leave.

1290
01:01:46,528 --> 01:01:48,226
I'm starting to wish
I never left.

1291
01:01:50,924 --> 01:01:51,882
Me, too.

1292
01:01:53,971 --> 01:01:57,714
So, why haven't you
gotten married?

1293
01:01:57,801 --> 01:02:00,325
I've dated.

1294
01:02:00,455 --> 01:02:02,980
But I guess you could say,
as cheesy as it sounds,

1295
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:04,808
I've been married
to North Falls.

1296
01:02:04,938 --> 01:02:06,635
What about you?

1297
01:02:06,723 --> 01:02:09,247
I came close, once.

1298
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:12,511
But, um,

1299
01:02:12,598 --> 01:02:13,991
it was too hard on him
to have a <i>fiancee</i>

1300
01:02:14,078 --> 01:02:15,427
running for office.

1301
01:02:17,255 --> 01:02:20,911
The arguments
became a distraction.

1302
01:02:20,998 --> 01:02:23,870
And it dawned on me,
I don't think a partner

1303
01:02:23,957 --> 01:02:25,611
is supposed to make
life difficult for you.

1304
01:02:28,179 --> 01:02:30,964
I broke up with him the day
I launched my campaign.

1305
01:02:31,095 --> 01:02:33,358
Sounds like you made
the right decision.

1306
01:02:33,445 --> 01:02:37,144
His loss is North Falls' gain.

1307
01:02:37,231 --> 01:02:38,929
Always lookin'
on the bright side.

1308
01:02:43,977 --> 01:02:47,720
- Thanks for a great night.
- You, too.

1309
01:02:47,851 --> 01:02:49,983
Man, I wish you still had
that love confession speech.

1310
01:02:50,114 --> 01:02:51,463
Come on,
what were some of the pros?

1311
01:02:51,550 --> 01:02:54,031
Okay, no way.

1312
01:02:54,118 --> 01:02:55,772
I've already revealed too much.

1313
01:02:57,295 --> 01:02:59,079
- Night.
- Goodnight.

1314
01:03:01,038 --> 01:03:02,126
[cell phone chimes]

1315
01:03:03,388 --> 01:03:06,130
[instrumental music]

1316
01:03:15,095 --> 01:03:17,924
- Morning.
- Oh, don't you look sharp?

1317
01:03:18,055 --> 01:03:21,928
Thanks, mom. I gotta head out
to vote before my...

1318
01:03:22,015 --> 01:03:24,713
- I gotta head out to vote.
- I don't think you should go.

1319
01:03:24,801 --> 01:03:28,065
Noah, I have to vote for myself.
What if no one else does?

1320
01:03:28,152 --> 01:03:29,980
You know I'm talking
about the interview.

1321
01:03:32,069 --> 01:03:35,202
I guess you guys all know.

1322
01:03:35,333 --> 01:03:36,464
Well, I was up all night
reading about

1323
01:03:36,551 --> 01:03:38,205
the Prohibit Plastic Coalition,
and they

1324
01:03:38,292 --> 01:03:40,512
are exactly the kind of
partnership we're looking for.

1325
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:43,907
We? Sounds like Lucy's talking.

1326
01:03:43,994 --> 01:03:46,605
I have to be reasonable. Right?

1327
01:03:46,735 --> 01:03:50,565
I might not win tonight, and
I need to have a back-up plan.

1328
01:03:50,696 --> 01:03:52,437
I'll see you guys tonight
at the toy drive.

1329
01:03:52,567 --> 01:03:54,004
And don't forget to vote.

1330
01:03:57,137 --> 01:03:57,834
Bye.

1331
01:04:02,882 --> 01:04:04,579
You've been stirring that tea
aggressively.

1332
01:04:04,666 --> 01:04:05,624
I know.

1333
01:04:05,754 --> 01:04:08,148
[instrumental music]

1334
01:04:08,279 --> 01:04:10,020
[indistinct chatter]

1335
01:04:10,107 --> 01:04:11,412
- Yeah. Here we go.
- Thanks.

1336
01:04:11,543 --> 01:04:12,544
There you are.

1337
01:04:15,025 --> 01:04:16,374
This is it.

1338
01:04:31,432 --> 01:04:34,044
[music continues]

1339
01:04:42,356 --> 01:04:44,271
- Hi.
- Hi.

1340
01:04:44,358 --> 01:04:47,187
Pretty crazy.
Voting for yourself, huh?

1341
01:04:47,318 --> 01:04:50,147
Yeah. Yeah, pretty crazy.

1342
01:04:50,277 --> 01:04:52,932
I never thought I'd be
in this position, you know?

1343
01:04:53,063 --> 01:04:54,978
Definitely did not see this
coming.

1344
01:04:55,065 --> 01:04:58,024
- Yeah.
- But I'm glad it did.

1345
01:04:58,155 --> 01:05:01,027
No matter what happens.

1346
01:05:01,114 --> 01:05:04,248
So since I won't be
seeing you tonight...

1347
01:05:04,378 --> 01:05:07,512
Feels weird all of a sudden.

1348
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:10,819
I feel like we've been at this
thing the whole time together.

1349
01:05:10,907 --> 01:05:13,648
- Yeah, it's been fun.
- Yeah.

1350
01:05:13,735 --> 01:05:17,217
[chuckles] I should get
an electric car, for sure.

1351
01:05:17,304 --> 01:05:18,871
You really should.

1352
01:05:18,958 --> 01:05:20,307
[Parker chuckles] What's with
the garment bag?

1353
01:05:20,394 --> 01:05:21,918
You skipping town, Chen?

1354
01:05:22,005 --> 01:05:25,443
I am not skipping exactly.

1355
01:05:25,530 --> 01:05:28,620
Uh, I was kidding, but...

1356
01:05:28,707 --> 01:05:30,927
You really going somewhere?

1357
01:05:31,057 --> 01:05:33,277
Boston. Just for a few hours.

1358
01:05:33,364 --> 01:05:36,845
I've got this meeting,
uh, interview.

1359
01:05:36,976 --> 01:05:38,847
Job thing.

1360
01:05:38,978 --> 01:05:40,458
But, uh, I'll be back
for the toy drive.

1361
01:05:40,545 --> 01:05:43,983
An interview? Wait, what?

1362
01:05:44,114 --> 01:05:45,767
A job thing?
What kind of job thing?

1363
01:05:47,813 --> 01:05:50,468
I was gonna tell you.

1364
01:05:50,555 --> 01:05:54,820
Look, Parker, the last few weeks
have been a whirlwind,

1365
01:05:54,907 --> 01:05:57,562
and I've loved being home.

1366
01:05:57,692 --> 01:06:01,174
Let's be real. My chances
of beating you are slim.

1367
01:06:01,261 --> 01:06:03,960
Right? And then what?
What else is here for me?

1368
01:06:07,050 --> 01:06:08,834
If you don't know, maybe
you should go back to Boston.

1369
01:06:13,491 --> 01:06:15,754
You know what,
I was gonna give you this.

1370
01:06:15,841 --> 01:06:17,799
Thought it'd be a nice reminder
of why we're doing all this.

1371
01:06:17,886 --> 01:06:19,976
Hope you get the job,
if that's what you really want.

1372
01:06:31,248 --> 01:06:33,990
[instrumental music]

1373
01:06:39,908 --> 01:06:41,736
[Joe chuckling]

1374
01:06:41,823 --> 01:06:43,608
Okay.

1375
01:06:43,738 --> 01:06:48,221
Well, I think the band
has plenty of room up here.

1376
01:06:48,308 --> 01:06:50,832
What do you think, Parker?

1377
01:06:50,919 --> 01:06:53,879
Parker, do we need to make
more room for the band?

1378
01:06:55,663 --> 01:06:56,534
What?

1379
01:06:57,883 --> 01:07:00,016
No, it's-it's fine. It's fine.

1380
01:07:02,061 --> 01:07:05,282
Oh, you've been somewhere else
all afternoon.

1381
01:07:05,369 --> 01:07:08,241
Are you nervous about tonight?

1382
01:07:08,372 --> 01:07:11,549
Julia has a job interview
in Boston.

1383
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:15,727
Now, that doesn't mean a thing.

1384
01:07:15,814 --> 01:07:19,687
She's probably just covering
her bases, uh, in case you win.

1385
01:07:21,472 --> 01:07:22,908
Do you want to win?

1386
01:07:28,783 --> 01:07:31,395
I'm starting to realize
I have more to lose if I do.

1387
01:07:34,006 --> 01:07:36,574
- Well...
-[cell phone vibrating]

1388
01:07:40,752 --> 01:07:41,927
Jax, what's up?

1389
01:07:44,190 --> 01:07:45,409
Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.

1390
01:07:47,193 --> 01:07:48,412
Yeah, I'm coming now.

1391
01:07:49,891 --> 01:07:51,067
Love you.

1392
01:07:54,113 --> 01:07:55,201
Nice chat.

1393
01:07:59,292 --> 01:08:00,859
- What happened?
- We were setting up the tables.

1394
01:08:00,946 --> 01:08:03,035
And all of a sudden
the lights just went out.

1395
01:08:03,122 --> 01:08:05,907
I checked the electrical panel,
but nothing's been tripped.

1396
01:08:06,038 --> 01:08:07,779
I-it's original to the building.

1397
01:08:07,866 --> 01:08:10,347
It was only a matter of time
before it went out.

1398
01:08:10,434 --> 01:08:12,305
There's no way we can have
the toy drive here tonight.

1399
01:08:12,436 --> 01:08:13,872
Well, has anyone
tried calling Julia?

1400
01:08:13,959 --> 01:08:17,223
I tried calling her twice,
but no response.

1401
01:08:17,354 --> 01:08:20,096
I feel like this is my fault,
I knew that panel was faulty

1402
01:08:20,183 --> 01:08:22,968
and I was too caught up
in other things to address it.

1403
01:08:26,145 --> 01:08:28,626
We should have the toy drive
at the barn.

1404
01:08:28,713 --> 01:08:30,236
Forget the sock hop,
we'll make it formal

1405
01:08:30,367 --> 01:08:32,891
and we'll do it
exactly how Julia would want it.

1406
01:08:33,021 --> 01:08:35,285
- Sounds like a plan.
- Jax, you call everyone ya know.

1407
01:08:35,372 --> 01:08:38,070
And tell them to meet us here.
I'm gonna keep trying Julia.

1408
01:08:38,201 --> 01:08:40,942
[instrumental music]

1409
01:08:49,168 --> 01:08:51,257
I should call Noah
to see how it's going.

1410
01:08:53,825 --> 01:08:55,653
Okay.

1411
01:08:58,482 --> 01:09:00,397
Come on.

1412
01:09:00,527 --> 01:09:03,008
Where are you, phone?

1413
01:09:05,358 --> 01:09:06,490
Seriously?

1414
01:09:10,842 --> 01:09:13,497
[cell phone vibrating]

1415
01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:20,721
Wow, this is comin' along
even better than I thought.

1416
01:09:20,808 --> 01:09:23,028
Thanks. We still have
a long way to go.

1417
01:09:23,115 --> 01:09:25,770
Julia had exact plans
for how she wanted everything,

1418
01:09:25,900 --> 01:09:28,338
and I wanna make sure
we follow them to a tee.

1419
01:09:28,425 --> 01:09:31,254
Don't we need to tell people
about the change?

1420
01:09:31,341 --> 01:09:32,951
Yeah, you're right,
a note on the door at the school

1421
01:09:33,038 --> 01:09:35,127
isn't gonna cut it. Any ideas?

1422
01:09:35,214 --> 01:09:37,216
Jax and I will post it on the
high school social-media page.

1423
01:09:37,303 --> 01:09:38,391
That should reach
a lot of people.

1424
01:09:38,478 --> 01:09:39,436
I'll post it on my TikTok.

1425
01:09:39,523 --> 01:09:40,480
I'll post it on Snapchat.

1426
01:09:40,611 --> 01:09:42,265
I'll go live on Clubhouse.

1427
01:09:42,352 --> 01:09:43,570
I have no idea
what Clubhouse is.

1428
01:09:43,657 --> 01:09:44,876
I know.

1429
01:09:46,791 --> 01:09:48,662
I can pass out some fliers.

1430
01:09:48,749 --> 01:09:51,361
-[Jax and Noah] What's a flier?
- Really?

1431
01:09:51,448 --> 01:09:52,884
Well, other than that,
I don't think

1432
01:09:52,971 --> 01:09:53,972
there's much more we can do.

1433
01:09:54,059 --> 01:09:55,321
Cross our fingers and hope that

1434
01:09:55,408 --> 01:09:56,757
people show up here
and not there.

1435
01:09:56,888 --> 01:09:58,194
I'm trying her again.

1436
01:10:00,021 --> 01:10:01,197
Do you even know
how to play that?

1437
01:10:03,111 --> 01:10:05,897
[instrumental music]

1438
01:10:08,421 --> 01:10:11,032
Well, hello, Ms. Green-thumb.

1439
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:12,686
You know I turned
an old football field

1440
01:10:12,773 --> 01:10:14,122
into an outdoor greenhouse
in college.

1441
01:10:14,210 --> 01:10:15,950
Yes, yes, I do know that.

1442
01:10:16,081 --> 01:10:17,996
I saw that
on your campaign website.

1443
01:10:18,083 --> 01:10:19,780
- You did?
- No, no, I didn't.

1444
01:10:19,867 --> 01:10:21,782
'Cause I have a life
and I have a job

1445
01:10:21,869 --> 01:10:24,220
and I have a daughter who is
constantly trying to convince me

1446
01:10:24,307 --> 01:10:26,570
that I am part
of the oppressive class.

1447
01:10:26,657 --> 01:10:29,050
- And how's that going for her?
- Actually not very well.

1448
01:10:32,271 --> 01:10:35,579
So, the, uh,
big election's tonight.

1449
01:10:35,666 --> 01:10:37,711
Lucy tells me
it doesn't look good.

1450
01:10:41,411 --> 01:10:43,543
- It's a close race.
- No, it's not.

1451
01:10:43,630 --> 01:10:45,589
You're in need of a job.

1452
01:10:45,719 --> 01:10:47,895
You're staying with your parents

1453
01:10:47,982 --> 01:10:51,203
and you're flirting with
the hottie from high school,

1454
01:10:51,290 --> 01:10:53,901
who's gonna beat you,
just on his looks alone.

1455
01:10:53,988 --> 01:10:56,077
- It's not a beauty pageant.
- Oh, okay.

1456
01:10:57,296 --> 01:10:58,993
Let me cut to the chase.

1457
01:10:59,124 --> 01:11:02,823
We want you, you need us.
True story.

1458
01:11:02,910 --> 01:11:03,955
So far
I haven't heard much that's

1459
01:11:04,085 --> 01:11:05,522
making me wanna come onboard.

1460
01:11:05,609 --> 01:11:08,699
We both know
this is the right move for you.

1461
01:11:08,829 --> 01:11:11,267
You get a few years
at a successful non-profit

1462
01:11:11,397 --> 01:11:15,096
under your belt, and then
you can run for the big time.

1463
01:11:15,183 --> 01:11:16,794
Isn't that
what you've always wanted?

1464
01:11:18,970 --> 01:11:21,625
I see you in Washington.

1465
01:11:21,712 --> 01:11:24,105
And I know you see it, too.

1466
01:11:24,192 --> 01:11:26,107
This is your best shot
at getting there.

1467
01:11:27,805 --> 01:11:28,893
And because
of our partnership with

1468
01:11:28,980 --> 01:11:30,677
The Prohibit Plastic Coalition,

1469
01:11:30,808 --> 01:11:32,766
you'll get the chance
to draft legislation

1470
01:11:32,897 --> 01:11:35,291
that could really make a
difference for the environment.

1471
01:11:36,988 --> 01:11:39,164
You'd finally be
a real changemaker.

1472
01:11:41,601 --> 01:11:43,429
You really should've led
with that.

1473
01:11:43,516 --> 01:11:46,127
Even if you do win tonight,
you should concede.

1474
01:11:46,258 --> 01:11:48,129
This job's a much better fit.

1475
01:11:49,914 --> 01:11:52,177
Well, can't deny
I'm thinking about it.

1476
01:11:52,264 --> 01:11:54,614
Well, don't take too long.

1477
01:11:54,701 --> 01:11:57,878
I need an answer
before the new year.

1478
01:11:57,965 --> 01:12:00,838
Go on, head on back so you can
make your concession speech.

1479
01:12:02,666 --> 01:12:05,712
- And Merry Christmas.
- Thanks, Gwen.

1480
01:12:05,799 --> 01:12:07,018
Merry Christmas.

1481
01:12:09,542 --> 01:12:13,329
Um, there's something
I wanna talk to you about.

1482
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,728
[Sylvie] Julia
is going to love it!

1483
01:12:21,815 --> 01:12:23,426
It's picture-perfect.

1484
01:12:23,513 --> 01:12:26,342
I just hope she isn't mad about
us having joint parties.

1485
01:12:26,429 --> 01:12:28,256
Why would she be mad at you?

1486
01:12:28,344 --> 01:12:30,476
The power outage
was not your fault.

1487
01:12:30,563 --> 01:12:32,086
I should've done something about

1488
01:12:32,173 --> 01:12:34,219
the school's issues
a long time ago.

1489
01:12:34,306 --> 01:12:37,178
Parker, she'll appreciate
what you've done for her.

1490
01:12:37,265 --> 01:12:40,138
She'd better,
or I didn't raise her right.

1491
01:12:40,268 --> 01:12:42,836
There's another reason
why she's mad at me. I, um...

1492
01:12:46,536 --> 01:12:50,235
I kind of told her
she should move back to Boston.

1493
01:12:58,809 --> 01:13:01,725
Out of context,
that sounds pretty bad.

1494
01:13:01,812 --> 01:13:05,076
I was upset when I found out
about her interview.

1495
01:13:07,252 --> 01:13:08,819
I guess I was
kind of getting used to the idea

1496
01:13:08,906 --> 01:13:11,648
of her sticking around,
you know?

1497
01:13:11,778 --> 01:13:13,693
You're not the only one.

1498
01:13:13,824 --> 01:13:16,174
I think she's getting
pretty used to the idea herself.

1499
01:13:16,261 --> 01:13:17,088
I don't know.

1500
01:13:19,395 --> 01:13:21,092
She said
there's nothing here for her

1501
01:13:21,179 --> 01:13:22,572
if she doesn't become mayor.

1502
01:13:22,659 --> 01:13:24,965
She doesn't mean it, Parker.

1503
01:13:25,052 --> 01:13:27,577
She faces
so much rejection at work.

1504
01:13:27,707 --> 01:13:30,362
You'd be surprised on how many
doors are slammed in her face

1505
01:13:30,449 --> 01:13:31,972
on a daily basis,

1506
01:13:32,103 --> 01:13:35,585
and she brushes it off
and keeps going.

1507
01:13:35,715 --> 01:13:39,197
But when it comes
to her personal life--

1508
01:13:39,327 --> 01:13:42,243
She would rather be the one
to slam the door first.

1509
01:13:42,330 --> 01:13:43,941
You didn't hear it from me.

1510
01:13:45,333 --> 01:13:46,596
Thank you, Sylvie.

1511
01:13:51,470 --> 01:13:53,124
Thank you.

1512
01:13:53,254 --> 01:13:55,431
Oh, you're a good guy, Parker.

1513
01:13:58,608 --> 01:14:01,088
- Where are you going?
- To get dressed.

1514
01:14:01,175 --> 01:14:03,613
I wanna look decent when
I tell her she can slam the door

1515
01:14:03,743 --> 01:14:06,442
as many times as she wants,
but I'm not going anywhere.

1516
01:14:10,924 --> 01:14:14,014
Come on, don't be mad at me.
I only told her the truth.

1517
01:14:14,101 --> 01:14:16,234
I ran the numbers. I didn't
think you could pull it off.

1518
01:14:16,321 --> 01:14:18,628
[Julia] Well, aren't you
the election day optimist.

1519
01:14:18,715 --> 01:14:20,325
I tried to warn you, Julia.

1520
01:14:20,456 --> 01:14:22,806
My whole job is to tell it
like it is.

1521
01:14:22,936 --> 01:14:26,462
Oh, and I called your mom about
your phone, still no answer.

1522
01:14:26,549 --> 01:14:28,986
[Julia] Can't believe
I forgot it. Today of all days.

1523
01:14:32,076 --> 01:14:33,773
All right, are you ready?

1524
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:35,775
Yeah, come on out.

1525
01:14:38,561 --> 01:14:41,477
[Lucy] Ah, wow.

1526
01:14:41,564 --> 01:14:44,175
Parker is gonna pass out
when he sees you.

1527
01:14:44,262 --> 01:14:46,482
Well, this isn't for Parker.

1528
01:14:46,612 --> 01:14:49,659
And since when did you start
calling him by his actual name?

1529
01:14:49,746 --> 01:14:52,009
When I realized how hard my best
friend was falling for him.

1530
01:14:52,096 --> 01:14:53,619
Okay, that's not what's...

1531
01:14:57,318 --> 01:14:59,843
- I'm so confused.
- I'm not.

1532
01:15:03,847 --> 01:15:04,978
I just...

1533
01:15:11,681 --> 01:15:12,986
From Parker.

1534
01:15:14,161 --> 01:15:15,206
Open it.

1535
01:15:24,345 --> 01:15:28,001
Oh. Wow!

1536
01:15:28,088 --> 01:15:31,178
You two already look like
you've been together forever.

1537
01:15:31,265 --> 01:15:33,659
He said he got this
to remind me.

1538
01:15:33,746 --> 01:15:36,706
Remind you of what?
How hot he is?

1539
01:15:36,793 --> 01:15:39,056
Oh, and how hot you were.
Look at you.

1540
01:15:42,842 --> 01:15:45,062
Uh, Julia,
what's going on up there?

1541
01:15:46,672 --> 01:15:50,284
Uh... Ju... Oh, I was... Okay.

1542
01:15:50,371 --> 01:15:52,548

to follow you?

stepped out of a Pinterest page!

1555
01:16:54,784 --> 01:16:56,873
- When did you get here?
- Just now.

1556
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,526
Wait, what happened
at the high school?

1557
01:16:58,614 --> 01:17:00,920
You didn't hear? We lost power.

1558
01:17:01,051 --> 01:17:03,053
I-I tried calling you,
like, a million times, but I--

1559
01:17:03,140 --> 01:17:04,663
- I left my phone at mom's.
- Yeah.

Hey, you're gonna love it.

1561
01:17:09,015 --> 01:17:11,409
I gave Parker all your notes,
and he made it look

1562
01:17:11,539 --> 01:17:13,150
just how you wanted.

1563
01:17:20,810 --> 01:17:22,638

01:17:50,535 --> 01:17:53,016
Thank you. So do you.

1568
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:57,455
And this...

1569
01:17:57,542 --> 01:18:00,197
is even more spectacular
than I could ever imagine.

1570
01:18:00,327 --> 01:18:03,069
Well, you said you wanted
rustic elegance.

1571
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,332
It's the perfect blend
of the both of us.

1572
01:18:07,465 --> 01:18:09,815

you were gonna be mad.

Oh, I was at first.

1574
01:18:12,557 --> 01:18:14,907
And then I wasn't.

1575
01:18:15,038 --> 01:18:17,693
Driving here,
I realized that you've been

1576

1577
01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:23,655

a reason why

You didn't do anything.

01:18:39,366 --> 01:18:41,717
I'm sorry for not seeing you.

1585
01:18:43,980 --> 01:18:45,721
You know, my mom always says,
"When someone shows you

1586
01:18:45,808 --> 01:18:47,897
who they are, believe them."

1587
01:18:49,942 --> 01:18:52,728

I didn't mean it.

1590
01:18:58,646 --> 01:19:00,213
I know.

1591
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:01,432
But are you?

But there can only be one.

1603
01:19:37,685 --> 01:19:39,296
So without further ado,

1604
01:19:39,426 --> 01:19:42,908

thank you for reminding me

1617
01:20:25,429 --> 01:20:27,823
of why I got into politics
in the first place.

1618
01:20:30,129 --> 01:20:31,957
Thank you to my family

1619
01:20:32,088 --> 01:20:34,699
and to all the kids
in the leadership program.

1620
01:20:34,786 --> 01:20:38,007
This event is made possible
because of you.

1621
01:20:38,094 --> 01:20:39,747
And to everyone who donated,

1622
01:20:39,878 --> 01:20:42,968
thank you for giving back
to the community.

could use it right about now.

1624
01:20:46,972 --> 01:20:51,107
And on that note,
I have some good news.

1625
01:20:51,194 --> 01:20:52,804
Earlier today I had a meeting

1626
01:20:52,891 --> 01:20:54,632
with The Greener Earth
Initiative and told them

1627
01:20:54,719 --> 01:20:57,374
about our plans
to renovate the high school.

1628
01:20:57,461 --> 01:21:00,246
And they have agreed to partner
with North Falls

1629
01:21:00,333 --> 01:21:03,467
and make us Massachusetts'
first sustainable community

1630
01:21:03,554 --> 01:21:06,949
and have donated $50,000!

1631
01:21:07,079 --> 01:21:08,864
Wow. Yeah.

1632
01:21:11,475 --> 01:21:12,998

1633

for entrusting me
with such an important job.

01:21:16,828 --> 01:21:20,527
It will be the greatest joy of
my life to serve this community.

I want us to always honor

I've been trying to make Boston
a green city my entire career.

And then I realized that
the only way to make that happen

1650
01:22:20,718 --> 01:22:23,895
is to start with a smaller
test community first.

1651
01:22:23,982 --> 01:22:25,288
Greener Earth agreed.

01:22:27,159 --> 01:22:29,640
Wow. Amazing.

- More than okay.

"Everyone thinks
he should be a model,

1692
01:24:36,245 --> 01:24:38,943
which inflates
his already big ego."

1693
01:24:39,030 --> 01:24:41,554
Hurts my feelings a bit,
but it's true.

1694
01:24:41,685 --> 01:24:43,426
"He makes me happy."

1695
01:24:46,907 --> 01:24:48,909
How is making you happy a con?

1696
01:24:50,998 --> 01:24:54,437
The way I felt about you
back then, it scared me.

1697
01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:58,267
But it doesn't anymore.

1698
01:25:01,008 --> 01:25:03,533
Okay, I just wanna be
completely clear...

I know. You won the election.

1702
01:25:23,770 --> 01:25:26,425
Parker, I'm not leaving ever.

1703
01:25:28,775 --> 01:25:33,040
I decided to turn down the job
before I even got here tonight.

1704
01:25:33,128 --> 01:25:34,781
This is where
I'm supposed to be.

1705
01:25:37,349 --> 01:25:41,397
I wanna commit to this community
