Oh! Hello.
‐ Sir.
‐ At ease, soldier.
‐ General Hays, hi.
It is so nice to officially meet you.
I’m Belle Winter, and these are my parents.
‐ Oh, I know who they are. I’m a big fan.
Georgia and Joe, thank you for agreeing to perform
for the soldiers and their families.
‐ It is an absolute pleasure to meet you, sir.
‐ It’s an honor for us to be a part of this.
‐ And I would be honored if the two of you
would take a photo with me.
‐ Why not? ‐ Absolutely!
‐ And don’t worry, it’s an encrypted phone.
‐ Oh, good, I wouldn’t want our picture
to fall into the wrong hands.
‐ I’m gonna share this photo with the troops.
I think it’ll raise their spirits.
The show is streaming overseas.
‐ Ah, that’s great!
‐ You know, I don’t know anything
about military maneuvers,
but I do know how to put on a concert.
What do you think about getting video messages
from the soldiers overseas and then putting those messages
up on the video screens before the concert?
‐ Yeah, that’s a stellar idea, Georgia.
‐ Yeah?
‐ Captain, I want you to get on that immediately.
‐ Yes, sir.
‐ It was really nice to meet you all.
I wish I could stay, but I have a meeting back at the base.
‐ We totally understand. ‐ Yes, we do.
That’s a pretty darn good idea you had there, Georgia.
‐ Well, thank you. ‐ Pretty darn good?
That was a fantastic idea, Mom.
‐ Thanks, Belle. ‐ It was perfect, ma’am.
‐ Thank you, and you can call me Georgia.
‐ And you can get back to work.
‐ Oh! Yep.
‐ Oh. ‐ Yep, here we go.
Ready?
‐ Your parents really turned it on for the general.
‐ Yeah. ‐ They actually look
like a couple.
Yeah, if you don’t mind me asking,
why’d they ever get divorced?
‐ They’re not divorced.
They separated and had the papers drawn up,
but neither of them ever signed them.
‐ Why’d they even separate?
‐ It all started around the time I went off to college.
My dad had always written all the songs, but he’d hit a wall.
Everything he was writing just wasn’t working.
So the record label wanted them to start singing
other people’s songs, which my dad refused to do.
So my mom agreed to record a solo album without him.
‐ He thought that he was demoted.
‐ Yeah, and then he wrote a song
about their problems, which made Mom madder.
"Christmas Without You"?
‐ That one is a heartbreaker.
‐ It was a hit for Dolly.
My dad kept writing songs, just not for my mom.
My dad thought that my mom didn’t need him anymore,
and she felt the same way.
They were both nominated for Grammys that year,
my mom for Record of the Year and Dad for Song of the Year.
But when my dad went up to accept his award,
he didn’t mention my mom.
He later said he just forgot,
and then when Mom won her award,
she didn’t mention my dad, either.
My dad moved out that night.
It’s been 15 years.
They haven’t performed together since.
‐ So tell me about the Snow Ball.
‐ A lot of our soldiers never come home,
so the Snow Ball raises money for their families.
‐ For example, the song "White Christmas,"
that was actually written about soldiers
who weren’t able to make it back home for the holidays.
‐ Will you be singing "White Christmas"?
‐ Maybe. We’re going to be singing a lot
of everyone’s favorite Christmas songs.
‐ Yes, we will. And who knows?
We might even be singing a brand‐new song.
‐ Oh, we didn’t talk about that.
‐ No. That’s because it’s a surprise.
‐ It sure is.
‐ Yeah, I’ve been writing a little something.
‐ Really? ‐ Well, that sounds promising,
especially coming from a writer
who was just inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame!
‐ Oh! Yeah, hey, let’s not forget
Georgia was just nominated for her 16th Grammy.
‐ Well, thank you, Joe. That’s very sweet of you.
‐ You deserve it. ‐ Thank you.
‐ You’ve both had very good solo careers.
How do you feel about performing together again?
‐ Honestly, I’m a little nervous.
‐ Really?
‐ Yeah, let’s face it.
We haven’t done this together in a very, very long time.
‐ Oh, I think we still have it.
‐ Well, your fans have wanted you
to get back together for years.
‐ Well, we’re very excited
to get back together for this Christmas concert.
‐ Yes, because we love our troops, and we love Christmas.
‐ It’s gonna be a heck of a show.
‐ So, hey, everybody out there,
get your tickets for the Snow Ball
because it’s Joe and Georgia time.
‐ Georgia and Joe time.

‐ Joe, no! You were supposed to hold me like this‐‐
‐ No, that’s the other verse. ‐ Not do the twirl.
‐ No, no. It’s first verse one twirl, second verse two.
Every time we’ve done this dance,
that’s exactly how we’ve done it.
‐ Well, I don’t know who you were dancing with,
but it certainly wasn’t me.
‐ Seriously?

‐ No, your father has not forgotten how to dance.
Your father is dancing Denver.
Your mother is dancing Dallas. There’s a difference.
‐ Sweetheart, I don’t think we need a big dance number.

‐ Oh, honey, I don’t want to talk about your dad and me,
especially now.
‐ I thought things were going so well.
‐ They were going too well.
Your dad and I were getting emotionally close again.
‐ You say that like it’s a bad thing.
‐ It is.
I don’t wanna get hurt again.
‐ I don’t understand. You seemed okay yesterday.
‐ Well, I wasn’t. It’s just that I get so angry.
‐ Angry with him? ‐ No, no.
With me, how I feel.
‐ I think you still love him.
‐ Oh, honey, I’ll always love your dad.
But I’m fine without him.
‐ I don’t believe you.
‐ All right, the band is really tight,
and I got all the cues for the lighting guy.
‐ Sounds good, Duke. Sounds good.
Wait. What?
What did you‐‐ You sit down.
‐ You are really out of it, Joe.
Georgia must have gotten really under your skin again.
‐ You could say that.
I’ll tell you what, when I accepted this job,
I never dreamed I was going to fall back in love with Georgia.
‐ The rest of us did.
We saw it a mile away. You two should be together.
You’re meant for each other.
‐ Maybe part of me always thought that...
we might get back together.
Maybe I took this job so I could see
if there was still something there, but there’s not.
‐ There is. ‐ No. There is not.
You wanna know a secret?
‐ Sure.
‐ I never stopped wearing my wedding ring.
No, no, not there.
Here.
‐ Oh, wow.
‐ I’ve worn this thing for so long.
‐ You should tell her, Joe.
‐ No, I can’t and neither can you.
Okay, Georgia’s made it very clear she’s not interested.
‐ Honey, don’t worry about it.
We’re gonna put on a fantastic show,
and then maybe we can finally sign those divorce papers.
Maybe we’ve both been holding on to something
we should have let go of a long time ago.
‐ So, that’s it?
‐ We were only doing this for you and the Army.
Nothing else.
‐ I don’t care about the show, Mom.
I just want you to be happy.
‐ Oh, baby girl, I’ve got you.
I am happy.
‐ Hey, I’ve been looking for you.
What’s wrong?
‐ I just wanted my parents to get back together.
I know it’s a childish fantasy.
‐ No, it’s not. I totally understand.
‐ Now I wish I wouldn’t have taken this job.
and then I wouldn’t have this false sense of hope.
‐ I’m glad you took this job
because if you didn’t, you and I wouldn’t
have reconnected.
Sorry. It’s not the best time to talk about that.
‐ Troy, you have been the absolute best part of this job.
‐ You know, I think I fall in love at Christmas,
the first time, with you.
‐ Me too.

‐ We love you, Georgia! Wow!
‐ It’s been so long, Georgia! ‐ Whoo!
‐ Hello, Joe.
‐ Well, hello, Georgia.
‐ Fancy meeting you here.
‐ Fancy meeting you here, too.
But then, of course, we always do meet
in the nicest of places.
‐ And, with the nicest people, like the U. S. Armed Services
and you nice folks for coming out
tonight to the Snow Ball event.
‐ And, hey, before the show tonight,
you saw some wonderful video
up here of some soldiers who are very proud,
who are not able to make it home for Christmas this year.
‐ So, we’re going to stream the entire concert tonight
to send to our men and women in uniform
all around the world.

‐ Stop.
‐ The reason Joe wrote this song is because
we haven’t been together for Christmas in a while.
‐ No, we haven’t in quite a while,
but like the song says,
I needed Christmas
to find my way back to you and me.
‐ Joe, what are you doing? We didn’t rehearse this.
‐ That’s because you don’t rehearse apologies, Georgia.
They come from the heart,
and I am so sorry I broke yours.
I made a huge mistake when I said goodbye to you.
Georgia, I fell in love with you the first moment
I heard that gorgeous voice of yours.
Do you remember?
‐ Yeah.
‐ You make everyone better.
You make me want to be so much better,
and I’m never going to say goodbye again.
No.
We’ve been apart a long time,
but I never took off my wedding ring.
‐ Oh, Joe.
‐ Georgia, would you please,
please stay married to me?
‐ You beat me to it.
Would you please stay married to me?
‐ Always.
‐ You may now kiss the bride.
‐ I love you, Joe Winter.
‐ I love you, Georgia Winter.
What do you say we finish our song?
