182
00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:42,019
We thought you got
fired or something.

183
00:09:42,099 --> 00:09:43,900
Nope. Just home for Christmas

184
00:09:43,981 --> 00:09:47,744
like a normal person for once.

185
00:09:47,824 --> 00:09:51,188
Well, we've got the Harris
get-together tomorrow,

186
00:09:51,268 --> 00:09:54,311
then there's the cocoa
tasting competition,

187
00:09:54,391 --> 00:09:55,832
caroling,
mochi new year's prep, and--

188
00:09:55,912 --> 00:09:57,354
Mom, I--

189
00:09:57,434 --> 00:10:00,117
Thanks, but I gotta
work while I'm here.

190
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,761
Oh.

191
00:10:04,841 --> 00:10:06,843
I mean, I'll definitely have
time for a few things, but--

192
00:10:08,365 --> 00:10:10,447
You just do what you need to do.

193
00:10:12,129 --> 00:10:15,332
I finally might get
promoted to editor!

194
00:10:15,412 --> 00:10:17,494
- Wow.
- Really?

195
00:10:17,574 --> 00:10:19,096
Why didn't you say sooner?!

196
00:10:19,176 --> 00:10:20,978
I mean, maybe. Maybe. Hopefully.

197
00:10:21,058 --> 00:10:23,180
Soon, just gotta
hunker down this next week.

198
00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:26,103
We know how much
this means to you.

199
00:10:26,183 --> 00:10:28,185
We're just glad you're here.

200
00:10:29,266 --> 00:10:31,148
We need to celebrate!

201
00:10:31,228 --> 00:10:33,030
No! Not yet!

202
00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:35,112
Don't jinx it, mom!

What?

Toasted biscuit,
caramel, chocolate,

and roasted malt notes.

227
00:12:08,805 --> 00:12:10,006
We even put it in
barrels to give it

228
00:12:10,087 --> 00:12:12,769
a whiskey-kissed oak flavor.

229
00:12:12,849 --> 00:12:14,571
Best enjoyed while
sitting by the fire.

230
00:12:14,651 --> 00:12:17,214

You made my day, Blake.

232
00:12:18,975 --> 00:12:20,737
Oh, are we going to see
you and your parents tomorrow?

233
00:12:20,817 --> 00:12:22,459
We got an oatmeal
stout waiting for you.

234
00:12:22,539 --> 00:12:23,820
Pairs with the cookies, too.

235
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,983
(chuckling)

236
00:12:32,589 --> 00:12:33,750
How's New York?

237
00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:35,792
Great.

238
00:12:35,872 --> 00:12:37,314
Almost moving up to editor.

239
00:12:37,394 --> 00:12:39,636
Finally!

240
00:12:39,716 --> 00:12:40,997
What about you?

241
00:12:41,077 --> 00:12:43,079
Still working for dad?

242
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,322
He's still brewmaster,

243
00:12:45,402 --> 00:12:47,364
but I'm helping with
the seasonal releases now.

244
00:12:47,444 --> 00:12:49,806
Only a matter of time
before I take over.

245
00:12:49,886 --> 00:12:51,888
Hm.

246
00:12:54,531 --> 00:12:56,893
So, you coming to my mom's

247
00:12:56,973 --> 00:12:58,535
cookie decorating
get-together tomorrow?

248
00:12:58,615 --> 00:12:59,936
I'm hosting.

249
00:13:00,016 --> 00:13:02,219
Thanks, but I gotta work.

250
00:13:02,299 --> 00:13:05,142
Oh, come on, it's Christmas!

251
00:13:05,222 --> 00:13:07,504
I'm busy. I gotta research.

252
00:13:07,584 --> 00:13:09,025
(chuckling)

253
00:13:09,105 --> 00:13:11,708
It's a kid's book,
how long does it take to read?

254
00:13:11,788 --> 00:13:13,790
Well, just like Santa, I gotta
work through the holidays.

255
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:15,031
Don't have a choice.

256
00:13:15,111 --> 00:13:16,112
Oh, come on. You got a choice!

257
00:13:16,193 --> 00:13:18,195
and I say choose cookies.

258
00:13:19,756 --> 00:13:21,358
Not everyone's
lucky enough to inherit

259
00:13:21,438 --> 00:13:22,799
a thriving business, Blake.

260
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:24,881
Some people have to
make it on their own.

261
00:13:27,083 --> 00:13:29,125
I'll tell you what.

262
00:13:29,206 --> 00:13:31,127
Let's make a bet.

263
00:13:31,208 --> 00:13:32,769
Just like old times.

264
00:13:32,849 --> 00:13:35,972
If I lose,

265
00:13:36,052 --> 00:13:37,494
I'll bring you
a platter of cookies.

266
00:13:37,574 --> 00:13:39,376
Mm.

267
00:13:39,456 --> 00:13:42,699
But if you lose, you gotta
live a little this year

268
00:13:42,779 --> 00:13:45,582
and accept every
Christmas invitation.

269
00:13:45,662 --> 00:13:47,224
Starting with my mom's
get-together tomorrow.

270
00:13:47,304 --> 00:13:49,025
You haven't changed.

271
00:13:49,105 --> 00:13:51,107
No, not really.
(laughing)

272
00:13:52,229 --> 00:13:55,592
Okay, well, if I win,

273
00:13:55,672 --> 00:13:58,154
you have to wear an elf costume
onesie every day

274
00:13:58,235 --> 00:13:59,516
until Christmas.

275
00:13:59,596 --> 00:14:00,837
Deal?

276
00:14:00,917 --> 00:14:02,919
Mm. I don't lose.

277
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,162
What's the high-stakes contest?

278
00:14:08,004 --> 00:14:09,966
Now, you know you're not getting
me an elf costume, right?

279
00:14:10,046 --> 00:14:11,208
(both laughing)

280
00:14:11,288 --> 00:14:14,571
We'll see about that.

281
00:14:14,651 --> 00:14:16,132
This one.

282
00:14:16,213 --> 00:14:19,536
I always told my mom
I saw deer eat the bells.

283
00:14:19,616 --> 00:14:21,338
- Okay, I'm going first.
- No, no, no. I'm going first.

284
00:14:21,418 --> 00:14:22,619
Okay, fine. Go.

285
00:14:22,699 --> 00:14:23,820
June!

286
00:14:23,900 --> 00:14:24,861
(laughing)

287
00:14:24,941 --> 00:14:26,623
Saw that a mile away.

288
00:14:26,703 --> 00:14:27,704
Worked when we were kids.

289
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:29,386
No, it didn't!

290
00:14:29,466 --> 00:14:30,387

292
00:14:31,468 --> 00:14:32,629
Pretty rusty there, buddy.

293
00:14:32,709 --> 00:14:34,190
Okay, it's been years. You go.

294
00:14:34,271 --> 00:14:35,712
Alright,
just like riding a bike.

295
00:14:35,792 --> 00:14:37,794
You ready? Watch this. Boom.

296
00:14:41,678 --> 00:14:43,280
Nope. No, I didn't hear it fall!

297
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,001
- Oh, come on.
- It's stuck.

298
00:14:45,081 --> 00:14:46,323
Guess it's a tie, Blakey-boy.

299
00:14:46,403 --> 00:14:47,484
Oh, no, no, no.
Best out of three?

300
00:14:47,564 --> 00:14:48,485
No!

301
00:14:48,565 --> 00:14:49,846
We don't do ties.

302
00:14:49,926 --> 00:14:51,207
Well, I already won.

303
00:14:51,288 --> 00:14:52,649
So, I guess I get to
go back inside now

304
00:14:52,729 --> 00:14:53,970
and get to work.

305
00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:55,572
- No, no, no. Come on.
- Merry Christmas, Blake!

306
00:14:55,652 --> 00:14:57,654
- Don't do that.
- Better luck next year!

307
00:15:00,016 --> 00:15:03,059
I wish June would say yes
to Christmas for once.

308
00:15:03,139 --> 00:15:06,903
At least until Christmas Day.

309
00:15:06,983 --> 00:15:08,985
She deserves it.

There's only one
coffee shop in town.

314
00:15:26,643 --> 00:15:28,164
I bet my money
she'll be there.

315
00:15:28,244 --> 00:15:30,046
Sally's with her kid
so I imagine she'll be heading

316
00:15:30,126 --> 00:15:32,048
into town to do some
Christmas activities as well.

317
00:15:32,128 --> 00:15:33,610
There's a hot cocoa
tasting event

318
00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:35,612
and also a snowman
building contest.

Oh, mom,
I got loads of work to do.

334
00:16:11,888 --> 00:16:13,890
I'm sorry.

335
00:16:15,171 --> 00:16:18,094
What about just dropping by
the Christmas party real quick?

336
00:16:18,174 --> 00:16:21,017
Thanks, but the answer
has to be yes!

337
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,582
Okay, we can walk over there.

338
00:16:25,662 --> 00:16:27,624
No, no, no. There's nothing
more I'd like to do!

I can't wait?

343

Hey, welcome! Come on in.

344
00:16:49,085 --> 00:16:50,286
Merry Christmas.

345
00:16:50,367 --> 00:16:51,568
Same to you,
I'll take your jacket.

346
00:16:51,648 --> 00:16:53,289
- Oh, thank you.
- You look fantastic.

347
00:16:53,370 --> 00:16:55,051
- Thank you.
- Hey, Ted.

348
00:16:55,131 --> 00:16:56,332
Good to see you, Blake.
How are you?

349
00:16:56,413 --> 00:16:57,734
Good, good.

350
00:16:57,814 --> 00:17:01,658
You can take my jacket,
too, sir. Thank you.

351
00:17:01,738 --> 00:17:03,179
So, why'd you decide to come?

352
00:17:03,259 --> 00:17:05,702
Just wanted to take
joy in proving you wrong.

353
00:17:05,782 --> 00:17:08,344
Oh. Well, prove away then.

354
00:17:08,425 --> 00:17:10,226
Can I get you a drink?

355
00:17:10,306 --> 00:17:11,668
Cocoa or cider would be nice.

356
00:17:11,748 --> 00:17:13,510
Alright, you got it.

357
00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:17,994
You're here?
What a wonderful surprise!

358
00:17:18,074 --> 00:17:19,796
Good to see you, June.

359
00:17:19,876 --> 00:17:23,239
It is finally nice to have her
back for Christmas this year.

360
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,562
She's a children's book editor!

Associate editor, Mom. Hi.

362
00:17:28,525 --> 00:17:30,447
Henry: She actually showed up?

363
00:17:30,527 --> 00:17:31,728
Good to see you!

364
00:17:31,808 --> 00:17:33,329
- Good to see you, too, Henry.
- Merry Christmas.

365
00:17:33,410 --> 00:17:34,611
Merry Christmas.

366
00:17:34,691 --> 00:17:37,013
So, it's been, what, five years?

367
00:17:37,093 --> 00:17:38,575
No, has it?

368
00:17:38,655 --> 00:17:40,256
Since you two were in college.

369
00:17:40,336 --> 00:17:43,219
Well, I'm back.

370
00:17:43,299 --> 00:17:45,462
Well, good.

371
00:17:45,542 --> 00:17:47,544
Your parents really
miss you during the holidays.

372
00:17:51,748 --> 00:17:54,030
Sounds like you got
a lot of catching up to do.

373
00:17:54,110 --> 00:17:55,832
I guess so.

374
00:17:55,912 --> 00:17:56,873
Both?!

375
00:17:56,953 --> 00:17:58,074
Yeah, I couldn't decide.

376
00:17:58,154 --> 00:18:00,276
(laughing)
Thank you.

377
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,402
Okay, mom, you gotta take this,
'cause Blake gave me two.

378
00:18:06,483 --> 00:18:08,044
Definitely that one.

379
00:18:08,124 --> 00:18:09,205
- Okay.
- Thank you.

380
00:18:09,285 --> 00:18:11,087
- Cheers.
- Cheers, my love.

385
00:18:28,384 --> 00:18:31,387
Clearly it is a tie!

386
00:18:31,468 --> 00:18:33,550
(laughing)
Okay. No. Not even close!

387
00:18:33,630 --> 00:18:35,311
What?
Let's get another judge then.

388
00:18:35,391 --> 00:18:37,714
No, come on, Blake. You lost.

389
00:18:37,794 --> 00:18:39,796
Okay, just live with it.

390
00:18:41,157 --> 00:18:43,159
This was fun.

391
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:46,362
I needed a break.

392
00:18:48,364 --> 00:18:52,168
But now, yeah. I gotta go.

393
00:18:52,248 --> 00:18:54,170
Hey, since you proved me
wrong with one invitation,

394
00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:55,812
you want to do it again?

395
00:18:55,892 --> 00:18:57,894
Blake, I got this
big opportunity--

396
00:18:57,974 --> 00:19:00,537
I'm doing this Christmas
charity event at the brewery

397
00:19:00,617 --> 00:19:03,179
and I am desperate
for volunteer help.

398
00:19:03,259 --> 00:19:05,782
Thanks, but I'd love to!

399
00:19:06,863 --> 00:19:09,826
(chuckling)
No really. Yes!

400
00:19:09,906 --> 00:19:12,789
Wait, I mean yes!

401
00:19:12,869 --> 00:19:14,631
You are just full
of surprises today.

402
00:19:14,711 --> 00:19:17,273
You don't understand,
I can't waste time...

403
00:19:17,353 --> 00:19:18,955
...not helping!

404
00:19:19,035 --> 00:19:20,677
So, then would
you mind helping me with

405
00:19:20,757 --> 00:19:22,398
Christmas decorations, too?

406
00:19:22,478 --> 00:19:24,841
You'd be a lifesaver,
I mean, everyone else is busy.

407
00:19:24,921 --> 00:19:26,923
Yes!

408
00:19:28,484 --> 00:19:30,486
Great. Hey, everyone.

409
00:19:31,768 --> 00:19:34,851
June has graciously
offered to help me

410

with the Harris Brewery
Christmas Wish event!

414
00:19:47,183 --> 00:19:49,586
One second. Okay.

415
00:19:54,551 --> 00:19:56,152
Okay.

416
00:19:56,232 --> 00:19:58,234
Thank you?

417
00:19:59,676 --> 00:20:02,719
So, does this mean
you're going to be at

418
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,921
the snowman building, too?

419
00:20:05,001 --> 00:20:06,162
Yes!

420

Of course, yes.

Ah, Christmas Eve countdown?

00:20:10,967 --> 00:20:13,730
Absolutely! Okay!

424
00:20:15,852 --> 00:20:17,934

took over and made me say yes.

You're fine, dear.

467

Maybe just need a little
more rest or something.

468
00:22:17,573 --> 00:22:20,737
Are you going to join us for
the holiday pinecone decoupage?

Yes, let's do it!

See? Totally normal.

471
00:22:28,264 --> 00:22:30,867
No, okay. Look, Dad.

472
00:22:30,947 --> 00:22:32,428
I couldn't say no
to helping Blake.

473
00:22:32,508 --> 00:22:34,510
I didn't want to say yes.
I wanted to say no.

474
00:22:41,037 --> 00:22:44,040
Um, do you want to give me
a hand in the kitchen?

475
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,282
I do. I really do.

Thank you.

Look. It wasn't some joke.

480
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:05,902
Okay, I was forced!

481
00:23:05,982 --> 00:23:08,985
No one's forcing you
or guilting you into anything.

482
00:23:09,065 --> 00:23:10,266
You can say no.

483
00:23:10,346 --> 00:23:12,348
No, I literally can't.

484
00:23:14,871 --> 00:23:17,073
Look, I'm still
going to help you, okay?

485
00:23:17,153 --> 00:23:18,194
I promise.

486
00:23:18,274 --> 00:23:19,836
Hey, no worries.

487
00:23:19,916 --> 00:23:21,918

Just text me the details, okay?

Yeah.

00:23:47,663 --> 00:23:49,185
Show her around?

496
00:23:49,265 --> 00:23:50,466
Give her local tips.

497
00:23:50,546 --> 00:23:53,269
Pedestrian, but sure.

498
00:23:53,349 --> 00:23:55,471
Oh, make me a dinner reservation
tonight at Sombrillo's.

Listen, June. I know I've been
a little tough on you lately,

502
00:24:01,237 --> 00:24:04,200
but it's just because I want
you to meet your potential.

503
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,803
Hey June, you coming
to our chestnut roast?

504

meet my potential!

You dropping by our tent
at the cocoa competition?

I can't believe
you didn't ask me earlier!

509
00:24:18,254 --> 00:24:19,295
Who are you talking to?

510
00:24:19,375 --> 00:24:21,978
My mom is having people over.

511

What about our gift-wrap-a-thon?

512
00:24:25,141 --> 00:24:28,264
Well, if you can close Sally,
then you're ready.

513

For sure!

514

00:25:51,547 --> 00:25:54,430
Are you going to the cocoa
tasting competition tomorrow?

544
00:25:54,510 --> 00:25:56,312
Oh? Where is that?

545
00:25:56,392 --> 00:25:58,274
We're not from around here.

546
00:25:58,354 --> 00:25:59,595
It's in the town square.

547
00:25:59,675 --> 00:26:01,397
I've been going
ever since I was a kid.

548
00:26:01,477 --> 00:26:02,959
I want to go!

549
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,441
Oh, well. Yeah, sure.

550
00:26:05,521 --> 00:26:06,482
Thanks for telling us!

551
00:26:06,562 --> 00:26:08,564
Yeah.

552
00:26:09,285 --> 00:26:11,647
You're not Sally Wells
by any chance?

553
00:26:11,727 --> 00:26:14,330
I don't usually get recognized

554
00:26:14,410 --> 00:26:17,333
by anyone taller than four feet.

555
00:26:17,413 --> 00:26:18,935
I'm a huge fan.

556
00:26:19,015 --> 00:26:21,337
Elf For Hire was my favorite
picture book as a kid.

557
00:26:21,417 --> 00:26:23,699
It inspired me to
get into publishing.

558
00:26:23,779 --> 00:26:25,061
Wow.

559
00:26:25,141 --> 00:26:26,502
Yeah, it made me feel seen,

560
00:26:26,582 --> 00:26:28,504
and I figured if
a kid's book did that for me,

561
00:26:28,584 --> 00:26:30,826
that's something special
I'd like to be part of.

562
00:26:30,906 --> 00:26:32,748
You made my day.

563
00:26:32,828 --> 00:26:34,790
- (laughing)
- Thank you.

564
00:26:34,870 --> 00:26:36,232
I didn't get your name?

565
00:26:36,312 --> 00:26:39,475
June. It's so nice to meet you.

566
00:26:39,555 --> 00:26:41,477
So, what do you do in
publishing?

567
00:26:41,557 --> 00:26:44,200
I work as an associate editor
at Kainer & Smith.

568
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,602
Oh. Top place.

569
00:26:48,724 --> 00:26:52,488
Well, there's also
sledding in the park,

570
00:26:52,568 --> 00:26:54,890
snowman building, and other fun
Christmas activities,

571
00:26:54,971 --> 00:26:56,412
if you'd like some
more local tips?

572
00:26:56,492 --> 00:27:00,616
Yeah, we've been skiing,
but I think we're looking

573
00:27:00,696 --> 00:27:02,498
for some other things to do.

574
00:27:02,578 --> 00:27:05,021
Great. There's this
short hike I'd recommend,

575
00:27:05,101 --> 00:27:07,823
and the carolers meet
in the square nightly.

576
00:27:07,903 --> 00:27:10,146
Thank you.

577
00:27:10,226 --> 00:27:11,747
You bought half the shop.

578
00:27:11,827 --> 00:27:15,471
Yes, I did.
I could show you around.

579
00:27:15,551 --> 00:27:19,115
Uh, well, thank you, June.

580
00:27:19,195 --> 00:27:20,116
See you around?

581
00:27:20,196 --> 00:27:23,599
I'll see you around!

582
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:25,721
Oh. Here you go.

583
00:27:29,525 --> 00:27:31,527
Thank you.

584
00:27:33,409 --> 00:27:35,611
Okay, this is
getting really weird.

585
00:27:37,013 --> 00:27:38,894
- June?
- Hey.

586
00:27:38,974 --> 00:27:40,656
Got a lot of stuff there.

587
00:27:40,736 --> 00:27:41,897
I thought you were working?

588
00:27:41,977 --> 00:27:45,981
Yeah, I was,
but what are you doing?

589
00:27:46,062 --> 00:27:48,464
Ah, ran out of
chocolate Stevia bits.

590
00:27:51,107 --> 00:27:53,989
Hey, if you're not working,
I could use some help

591
00:27:54,070 --> 00:27:56,072
later today putting up
Christmas decorations?

592
00:27:56,152 --> 00:27:58,794
Thanks, but yes!

593
00:27:58,874 --> 00:28:00,596
Great!

594
00:28:00,676 --> 00:28:02,038
You want to meet me
at the town square,

595
00:28:02,118 --> 00:28:04,120
say around 3:00?

596
00:28:05,801 --> 00:28:07,803
- Got it.
- Awesome!

597
00:28:21,497 --> 00:28:23,379
So, is it possible
to do an exorcism of

598
00:28:23,459 --> 00:28:24,700
the Christmas spirit?

599
00:28:24,780 --> 00:28:26,782
Why would anyone
want to do that?

600
00:28:26,862 --> 00:28:28,864
It's getting in the way of work.

601
00:28:29,825 --> 00:28:31,026
Would you like
your fortune read?

602
00:28:31,107 --> 00:28:32,588
No.

603
00:28:32,668 --> 00:28:34,110
I thought you said
you can't say no.

604
00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:36,192
I said no.

605
00:28:37,353 --> 00:28:38,514
I said no?

606
00:28:38,594 --> 00:28:41,317
Christmas tea to heal your aura?

607
00:28:41,397 --> 00:28:43,399
Oh--

608
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,122
Yes!

609
00:28:46,202 --> 00:28:48,444
(chuckling)

610
00:28:48,524 --> 00:28:50,526
So, I can't say no to tea?

611
00:28:52,608 --> 00:28:54,610
Thank you.

612
00:28:57,052 --> 00:28:59,495
Would you like some quartz
Christmas ornaments as well?

613
00:29:04,260 --> 00:29:06,021
Yes!

614
00:29:06,102 --> 00:29:08,104
I can't say no to ornaments?

615
00:29:10,466 --> 00:29:12,468
I can't say no
to anything Christmas

616
00:29:14,110 --> 00:29:16,352
Well, what am I supposed to do!?

617
00:29:16,432 --> 00:29:18,434
Say yes.

618
00:29:23,439 --> 00:29:25,281
There you are! You're late!

619
00:29:25,361 --> 00:29:26,802
Hi.

620
00:29:26,882 --> 00:29:29,325
Hey. Can I talk
to you for a sec?

621
00:29:29,405 --> 00:29:31,407
Thank you. Excuse me.

622
00:29:39,175 --> 00:29:40,656
I can't say no
to Christmas things.

623
00:29:40,736 --> 00:29:43,299
Great, I think
it's good you get out.

624
00:29:43,379 --> 00:29:44,820
Take your mind off
of work for once.

625
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:48,824
No, for real,
I can't decline an invitation.

626
00:29:48,904 --> 00:29:50,826
It's like I have some sort of
condition where I say yes now.

627
00:29:50,906 --> 00:29:53,309
Well, that's a positive
outlook for life.

628
00:29:53,389 --> 00:29:55,231
No, Mom,
that's not what I'm saying.

629
00:29:55,311 --> 00:29:57,473
I don't understand.

630
00:29:57,553 --> 00:30:02,198
Look, if it's Christmas
related in any which way,

631
00:30:02,278 --> 00:30:04,320
it's like I'm forced to say yes
even though I don't want to.

632
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,202
Like-- It's like
I'm a puppet or something.

633
00:30:06,282 --> 00:30:07,963
A puppet?

634
00:30:08,043 --> 00:30:09,765
Listen, you don't
have to make up some

635
00:30:09,845 --> 00:30:11,126
silly excuse for me, okay?

636
00:30:11,207 --> 00:30:12,968
- No, it's not an excuse, mom.
- It's okay, it's okay!

637
00:30:13,048 --> 00:30:15,611
I get it! Do your own thing.

638
00:30:15,691 --> 00:30:17,813

Alright, no problem.

Hey, have you had a chance to
look at those web design quotes?

Why can't we just
update the current site?

645
00:30:49,245 --> 00:30:53,289
I mean, we want our customers
to interact with us online.

It makes sense.

We'll talk about it later.

Yeah, sorry, just thinking
about my Dad, you know?

Hm.

He's old school. Purist.

This new brewery just
opened up in Wallace.

this charity holiday experience,

00:32:22,618 --> 00:32:25,060
was my sneaky way to do
a sip-eat-learn event to

676
00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:27,943
show him that we could
actually pull it off.

677
00:32:28,023 --> 00:32:30,466

You are really
proving me wrong today!

So, when you do
actually become an editor,

688
00:33:02,097 --> 00:33:04,219
who's the first person
you'll sign to a book deal?

689
00:33:07,262 --> 00:33:09,264
Well, hopefully Sally Wells.

Bestselling children's books?

692
00:33:17,433 --> 00:33:18,834
Silly Shoe series?

693
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:20,716

It's all about finding
your purpose, your passion.

699
00:33:34,370 --> 00:33:36,692
That book is the reason
I got into publishing.

700

follow your passion.

703
00:33:47,783 --> 00:33:49,785
Yeah.

00:34:15,571 --> 00:34:17,372
Yeah. You're putting

Well, that's one way to put it.

712

You know, when you said you
wanted to get into publishing,

713
00:34:27,503 --> 00:34:30,986

how hard you worked,

715

Of course I was
going to work hard, dad.

717
00:34:37,272 --> 00:34:40,916

then you just, you keep going.

720
00:34:50,526 --> 00:34:52,528
Your mom misses you.

721
00:34:54,329 --> 00:34:56,452
You know, maybe we could
make more of an effort to

722
00:34:56,532 --> 00:34:58,173
come and visit you
in the city more often.

723
00:34:58,253 --> 00:35:00,976
Yeah. I'd like that.

724
00:35:01,056 --> 00:35:03,058
Okay.

725
00:35:11,547 --> 00:35:19,234
♪

726
00:35:19,314 --> 00:35:21,396
Mm.

727
00:35:21,477 --> 00:35:23,479
Still the best.

728
00:35:29,244 --> 00:35:32,808
Got marshmallows going.
Oh, this is nice.

729
00:35:32,888 --> 00:35:34,570
Hey, hey, hey.
This is not a race.

730
00:35:34,650 --> 00:35:36,572
We're late!

731
00:35:36,652 --> 00:35:39,615
I mean, I just want to make sure
we get to see all the stations.

732
00:35:39,695 --> 00:35:41,216
It's open for two hours.

733
00:35:41,296 --> 00:35:43,298
Hey, why don't we go
check this out? Come on.

734
00:35:44,419 --> 00:35:45,701
- Hey!
- Hey, how you doing?

735
00:35:45,781 --> 00:35:46,702
Hey, guys. How are you?

736
00:35:46,782 --> 00:35:48,383
Hi, Phil.

737
00:35:48,463 --> 00:35:51,907
This in the historic style
of the Viennese royal court.

738
00:35:51,987 --> 00:35:54,389
Chocolate, rose blossom water,

739
00:35:54,469 --> 00:35:56,391
cinnamon, vanilla.

740
00:35:56,471 --> 00:35:58,634
Ooh, that sounds nice.

741
00:36:02,277 --> 00:36:04,199
I hate it. It's terrible.

742
00:36:04,279 --> 00:36:05,440
(chuckling)

743
00:36:05,521 --> 00:36:06,481
Soo good, Phil.

744
00:36:06,562 --> 00:36:07,803
Here, here.

745
00:36:07,883 --> 00:36:09,044
Oh, thank you so much.

746
00:36:09,124 --> 00:36:11,286
- Thank you so much.
- Enjoy.

747
00:36:11,366 --> 00:36:14,970
You've outdone yourself.
This is good.

748
00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:17,452
Um. Hey, I'll be
back in a minute.

749
00:36:17,533 --> 00:36:19,535
Yeah, okay.

750
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:22,217
Hey!

751
00:36:22,297 --> 00:36:23,899
And the dessert fiend returns!

752
00:36:23,979 --> 00:36:24,940
(laughing)

753
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:26,421
Yup. That's me.

754
00:36:26,501 --> 00:36:29,104
Thanks so much for
telling us about this.

755
00:36:29,184 --> 00:36:30,626
The cocoa is phenomenal!

756
00:36:30,706 --> 00:36:31,867
Yeah, of course.

757
00:36:31,947 --> 00:36:34,309
So, any other local tips?

758
00:36:34,389 --> 00:36:36,431
Yes, so many.

759
00:36:36,511 --> 00:36:39,314
Royal Cafe has a gingerbread
French toast casserole that's,

760
00:36:39,394 --> 00:36:42,117
mwah, amazing.
You guys need to try.

761
00:36:42,197 --> 00:36:44,239
Oh, and did you know
we have two ornament shops here?

762
00:36:44,319 --> 00:36:45,520
I didn't.

763
00:36:45,601 --> 00:36:47,242
Okay, it's pretty cool.
I can show you around town.

764
00:36:47,322 --> 00:36:48,804
Oh, we don't want
to interrupt your--

765
00:36:48,884 --> 00:36:50,606
No! Not at all!

766
00:36:50,686 --> 00:36:53,448
It's the least I could do
for my children's author idol.

767
00:36:53,528 --> 00:36:55,210
Well, only if it's no trouble.

768
00:36:55,290 --> 00:36:56,531
We're about done here.

769
00:36:56,612 --> 00:36:57,573
June!

770
00:36:57,653 --> 00:36:59,655
These churros have coconut!

771
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:02,377
Oh, hi. Sorry.

772
00:37:02,457 --> 00:37:05,661
That's okay.
This is my friend, Blake.

773
00:37:05,741 --> 00:37:07,102
Nice to meet you.

774
00:37:07,182 --> 00:37:09,264
Listen, the next station has
a lavender Christmas cocoa.

775
00:37:09,344 --> 00:37:11,466
You want to go?

776
00:37:11,546 --> 00:37:13,028
- Yes, let's go!
- Alright.

777
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:15,631
Oh, that's a great one!

778
00:37:15,711 --> 00:37:19,675
We-- we don't want to keep you.

779
00:37:19,755 --> 00:37:21,396
Where are the ornament shops?

780
00:37:21,476 --> 00:37:25,120
If you walk down 1st Street,
you'll see it on your right.

781
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,202
Are you going to
the snowman contest later?

782
00:37:27,282 --> 00:37:28,724
We have other plans.

783
00:37:28,804 --> 00:37:30,165
Okay, well,
there's also ice sculptures

784
00:37:30,245 --> 00:37:31,927
in the park tomorrow.
I could show you?

785
00:37:32,007 --> 00:37:34,329
I thought your mom's mochi
making party was tomorrow?

786
00:37:34,409 --> 00:37:35,771
Mochi?

787
00:37:35,851 --> 00:37:37,653
Yeah, my mom always
preps mochi in advance

788
00:37:37,733 --> 00:37:40,375
for Japanese New Years to make
it into a Christmas gathering.

789
00:37:40,455 --> 00:37:42,377
I like mochi ice cream.

790
00:37:42,457 --> 00:37:43,619
Oh, well, you guys should come!

791
00:37:43,699 --> 00:37:45,260
We wouldn't want to impose.

792
00:37:45,340 --> 00:37:47,342
No, seriously. She always
invites a bunch of people.

793
00:37:47,422 --> 00:37:50,465
Couple random cousins are coming
and we always do it around

794
00:37:50,545 --> 00:37:52,027
Christmas so more
people can help!

795
00:37:52,107 --> 00:37:53,709
I could text you the details?

796
00:37:53,789 --> 00:37:55,310
That'd be nice.

797
00:37:55,390 --> 00:37:59,074
Um, here's my... If you want
to give me your number,

798
00:37:59,154 --> 00:38:00,315
I could text you.

799
00:38:00,395 --> 00:38:02,597
Yes, of course. Great.

800
00:38:02,678 --> 00:38:04,159
- Okay. Great.
- Okay. Awesome.

801
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,600
- See you tomorrow.
- I'll see you then.

802
00:38:05,681 --> 00:38:06,601
- Bye.
- Take care.

803
00:38:06,682 --> 00:38:07,602
- Bye.
- You, too.

804
00:38:07,683 --> 00:38:09,925
What's going on?

805
00:38:10,005 --> 00:38:12,087
That was Sally Wells.

806
00:38:12,167 --> 00:38:13,889
Did you know she'd be here?

807
00:38:13,969 --> 00:38:16,692
Yeah, my boss wanted me to
try and convince her to sign

808
00:38:16,772 --> 00:38:18,293
a book deal with us.

809
00:38:18,373 --> 00:38:21,416
Just trying to be nice to her.
Thank you.

810
00:38:21,496 --> 00:38:25,260
Show her around a little bit,
you know?

811
00:38:25,340 --> 00:38:27,622
Well, that explains a lot.

812
00:38:27,703 --> 00:38:28,864
What do you mean?

813
00:38:28,944 --> 00:38:30,265
Why you're here.

814
00:38:30,345 --> 00:38:32,307
I always wish
I could come home, Blake!

815
00:38:32,387 --> 00:38:35,510
My work just doesn't let me.

816
00:38:35,590 --> 00:38:38,473
Don't worry,
I still am going to help you.

817
00:38:38,553 --> 00:38:40,555
Maybe we can help each other?

818
00:38:41,837 --> 00:38:43,558
What do you want?

819
00:38:43,638 --> 00:38:45,640
I'm sorry. I just don't know
what angle you're playing here.

820
00:38:45,721 --> 00:38:46,962
Angle?

821
00:38:47,042 --> 00:38:48,884
Yeah! It just reminded
me of that time

822
00:38:48,964 --> 00:38:50,966
you got me to bite into
a rotten egg when I was sick.

823
00:38:51,046 --> 00:38:52,207
(laughing)

824
00:38:52,287 --> 00:38:53,729
That was not funny.

825
00:38:53,809 --> 00:38:55,210
I mean,
that was a long time ago.

826
00:38:55,290 --> 00:38:57,773
Right?

827
00:38:57,853 --> 00:39:00,615
Yeah, maybe not.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

828
00:39:00,696 --> 00:39:03,138
But look, in all seriousness,

829
00:39:03,218 --> 00:39:06,581
I will help you woo Sally,
you gotta help me,

830
00:39:06,661 --> 00:39:08,223
I mean, like,
seriously help me, though.

831
00:39:08,303 --> 00:39:10,185
With the event, the details.
Everything.

832
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:14,710
Only if you beat me
at some Christmas games.

833
00:39:14,790 --> 00:39:16,271
You gotta be worthy.

834
00:39:16,351 --> 00:39:17,793
Why is everything a competition?

835
00:39:17,873 --> 00:39:19,474
Because it's you.

836
00:39:19,554 --> 00:39:21,276

838
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,360
Hey!

839
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,482
It's the holidays.
Live a little!

840
00:39:27,562 --> 00:39:30,325
Are you gonna enjoy this
beautiful day with me or not?

841
00:39:30,405 --> 00:39:34,209
Sip some cocoa,
take in all this joy around us,

842
00:39:34,289 --> 00:39:36,011
and play some Christmas games?

843
00:39:36,091 --> 00:39:38,093
Yes.

844
00:39:40,135 --> 00:39:42,137
I said yes?

845
00:39:42,497 --> 00:39:44,619
And it wasn't forced?

846
00:39:44,699 --> 00:39:46,822
Is something wrong?

847
00:39:46,902 --> 00:39:48,143
Nothing.

848
00:39:48,223 --> 00:39:50,025
Good.

Say yes to
every opportunity, but...

884
00:41:10,465 --> 00:41:12,667
You know, I wish I could
work on more meaningful

885
00:41:12,747 --> 00:41:13,909
children's books.

886
00:41:13,989 --> 00:41:15,991
Hm.

887
00:41:17,152 --> 00:41:19,474
What's a meaningful book to you?

888
00:41:19,554 --> 00:41:21,917
Something that would speak
to a child on another level.

889
00:41:21,997 --> 00:41:24,960
Make them feel seen. Loved.

890
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,762
There's this one author
that wrote this beautiful

891
00:41:27,843 --> 00:41:29,564
Puerto Rican
Christmas picture book.

892
00:41:29,644 --> 00:41:33,088
A different version of
the snow-covered holiday cliché.

893
00:41:33,168 --> 00:41:35,931
That book deserves to be seen,
but because it doesn't appeal

894
00:41:36,011 --> 00:41:37,292
to the broadest
audience possible,

895
00:41:37,372 --> 00:41:38,613
we don't make it.

896

go somewhere else?

I've put in too much time.

898
00:41:43,178 --> 00:41:44,739
Quitting isn't losing.

899
00:41:44,819 --> 00:41:46,661
I am not going to quit.

900
00:41:46,741 --> 00:41:48,423
I'm not saying that.

901
00:41:48,503 --> 00:41:52,988
I'm just saying following
your heart isn't quitting.

902
00:41:53,068 --> 00:41:56,071
Are you speaking
from experience?

903
00:41:56,151 --> 00:42:00,195
I had a bit of a quarter life
crisis when everyone like you

904
00:42:00,275 --> 00:42:03,999
left town and I was
still working for my dad.

905
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:05,840
Ran off to San Diego for a year.

906
00:42:05,921 --> 00:42:07,762
Left him stranded
at the brewery.

907
00:42:07,842 --> 00:42:10,045
And you know admitting
that my heart belonged here

908
00:42:10,125 --> 00:42:11,486
was the hardest part.

909
00:42:11,566 --> 00:42:13,248
And the deeper I got
into proving a point,

910
00:42:13,328 --> 00:42:16,531
just felt like giving up.

911
00:42:19,374 --> 00:42:21,376
But it wasn't.

912
00:42:24,179 --> 00:42:27,862
Well, my job at Kainer & Smith
will start me off at the top.

913
00:42:27,943 --> 00:42:29,864
And after I put in a couple
more years I'll be able to

914
00:42:29,945 --> 00:42:33,028
get a job at any New York
publishing firm of my choice.

915
00:42:33,108 --> 00:42:35,710
So, watch this.

916
00:42:37,832 --> 00:42:39,794
- Bam!
- (laughing)

917
00:42:39,874 --> 00:42:41,156
- Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
- That was lucky.

918
00:42:41,236 --> 00:42:42,397
That was lucky,

919
00:42:42,477 --> 00:42:44,319
So, am I worthy
of your help now?

920
00:42:44,399 --> 00:42:46,361
Well, there's still
broom hockey, so.

921
00:42:46,441 --> 00:42:49,004
Ow! Okay, fine.

922
00:42:49,084 --> 00:42:50,845
Where you going?

923
00:42:50,926 --> 00:42:51,927
Broom hockey.

924
00:42:52,007 --> 00:42:54,009
You still gotta win my respect.

925
00:42:57,332 --> 00:43:07,302
♪

926
00:43:11,947 --> 00:43:13,949
(phone vibrating)

927
00:43:14,749 --> 00:43:23,198
♪

928
00:43:36,131 --> 00:43:38,853
June: I was on my way here
and I thought of some ideas.

929
00:43:38,933 --> 00:43:40,815
So, I was thinking,
maybe you could use some

930
00:43:40,895 --> 00:43:43,258
cute little tags
and write flavor notes on them,

931
00:43:43,338 --> 00:43:45,020
and attach them to each glass.

932
00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:47,262
Yeah, and we could have, like,
long plates with hors d'oeuvres

933
00:43:47,342 --> 00:43:48,783
that line up with
each step in the flight.

934
00:43:48,863 --> 00:43:52,227
Yes! I'm excited
and I'm not even a beer person.

935
00:43:52,307 --> 00:43:53,748
Oh, trust me, you will be.

936
00:43:53,828 --> 00:43:54,990
That a threat?

937
00:43:55,070 --> 00:43:56,992
An invitation.

938
00:43:57,072 --> 00:43:58,233
Uh-huh.

939
00:43:58,313 --> 00:44:02,117
In fact...
(clearing throat)

940
00:44:02,197 --> 00:44:05,280
Most people do not appreciate

941
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,362
the complexity that beer offers.

942
00:44:07,442 --> 00:44:10,085
You see, wine has grapes

943
00:44:10,165 --> 00:44:12,967
and aging to experiment with,

944
00:44:13,048 --> 00:44:16,131
but a brewer can play
with barley for sweetness,

945
00:44:16,211 --> 00:44:20,495
hops for bitterness,
spices, nuts.

946
00:44:20,575 --> 00:44:22,017
How am I doing?

947
00:44:22,097 --> 00:44:24,459
- Continue.
- Okay.

948
00:44:24,539 --> 00:44:26,261
When you're picking
the perfect pairing

949
00:44:26,341 --> 00:44:28,343
there are three things
you gotta keep in mind.

950
00:44:28,423 --> 00:44:29,784
The first is contrast,

951
00:44:29,864 --> 00:44:33,068
in an opposites
attract kind of way.

952
00:44:33,148 --> 00:44:36,191
A dish with a dominant flavor
should be paired with a beer

953
00:44:36,271 --> 00:44:37,632
that can shine through.

954
00:44:37,712 --> 00:44:41,036
A dry, bitter stout

955
00:44:41,116 --> 00:44:43,118
can stand up to dark chocolate.

956
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:46,881
Together?

957
00:44:46,961 --> 00:44:48,323
Mm-hm.

958
00:44:48,403 --> 00:44:49,604
Or even oysters,

959
00:44:49,684 --> 00:44:51,886
cutting through
that briny sweetness.

960
00:44:51,966 --> 00:44:53,968
Mm-hm.

961
00:44:56,651 --> 00:44:59,494
Yeah, I guess opposites do work.

962
00:44:59,574 --> 00:45:00,815
Alright.

963
00:45:00,895 --> 00:45:03,578
The next is complementary.

964
00:45:03,658 --> 00:45:06,341
Perfect in what they share.

965
00:45:06,421 --> 00:45:09,864
A sip will evoke
flavors of the past.

966
00:45:09,944 --> 00:45:12,147
A spicy pale ale with

967
00:45:12,227 --> 00:45:14,509
a spicy Vietnamese dish.

968
00:45:14,589 --> 00:45:16,591
Okay.

969
00:45:19,994 --> 00:45:22,597
Yeah, okay.
(laughing)

970
00:45:24,319 --> 00:45:28,002
And last is a palate cleanser.

971
00:45:28,083 --> 00:45:32,127
So that you can fall in love
with each taste again.

972
00:45:41,416 --> 00:45:43,258
It's a bit poetic.

973
00:45:43,338 --> 00:45:45,340
Is that a bad thing?

974
00:45:47,382 --> 00:45:49,384
I didn't know you were so
passionate about this.

975
00:45:51,386 --> 00:45:53,388
I just want people to
love it as much as I do.

976
00:45:58,633 --> 00:46:00,235
Uh, sorry.

977
00:46:00,315 --> 00:46:04,199
So, what about the table decor?

978
00:46:04,279 --> 00:46:07,762
- I mean, if you wouldn't mind--
- I could do it if work--

979
00:46:07,842 --> 00:46:09,083
- I can do it.
- Okay.

980
00:46:09,164 --> 00:46:11,166
It's fine.

981
00:46:12,327 --> 00:46:14,729
You know, it's funny.

982
00:46:14,809 --> 00:46:16,331
I wished you'd
say yes to Christmas,

983
00:46:16,411 --> 00:46:18,613
but I never imagined
you'd be here helping me.

984
00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:21,095
You wished what?

985
00:46:21,176 --> 00:46:24,179
You said you wished I'd say yes?

986
00:46:24,259 --> 00:46:25,900
I mean, I was hoping
you'd come to my mom's party,

987
00:46:25,980 --> 00:46:27,142
'cause everybody misses you.

988
00:46:27,222 --> 00:46:28,463
No, but you said wish.

989
00:46:28,543 --> 00:46:31,746
Yes, I did.

990
00:46:31,826 --> 00:46:34,269
I mean, I was by myself
and I was just hoping,

991
00:46:34,349 --> 00:46:36,711
like, out loud you know,
when we were throwing the bells,

992
00:46:36,791 --> 00:46:39,434
that you'd say yes
to Christmas stuff for once.

993
00:46:39,514 --> 00:46:41,516
Say yes?

994
00:46:42,957 --> 00:46:44,959
Just little a break
until Christmas.

995
00:46:46,441 --> 00:46:47,762
What's the big deal?

996
00:46:47,842 --> 00:46:49,844
That should be your life slogan.

997
00:46:51,206 --> 00:46:53,168
Sorry, what?

998
00:46:53,248 --> 00:46:55,250
Your wish came true, Blake.

999
00:46:56,811 --> 00:46:58,813
- Come on.
- Gosh.

1000
00:46:59,974 --> 00:47:01,135
Okay, go.

1001
00:47:01,216 --> 00:47:02,657
Okay, okay.

1002
00:47:02,737 --> 00:47:03,898
Here.

1003
00:47:03,978 --> 00:47:05,660
Un-wish it.

1004
00:47:05,740 --> 00:47:06,981
This is ridiculous.

1005
00:47:07,061 --> 00:47:08,463
No, I literally can't say no

1006
00:47:08,543 --> 00:47:10,225
to anything Christmas related!
For real.

1007
00:47:10,305 --> 00:47:11,906
Like a positive outlook thing?

1008
00:47:11,986 --> 00:47:14,389
Physically can't say no.

1009
00:47:14,469 --> 00:47:16,431
I'm confused.

1010
00:47:16,511 --> 00:47:19,914
If someone asks me to do
anything Christmas related,

1011
00:47:19,994 --> 00:47:21,996
it's as if I'm not in control,

1012
00:47:22,076 --> 00:47:24,479
like a reflex happens
and I say "Yes" or "Let's go!"

1013
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:26,561
Like I'm someone's
mindless assistant.

1014
00:47:28,563 --> 00:47:31,486
(laughing)
That's funny. I'm sorry.

1015
00:47:31,566 --> 00:47:33,248
It's a good one.

1016
00:47:33,328 --> 00:47:36,251
Okay, ask me to do anything
Christmas-y you know I'd hate.

1017
00:47:36,331 --> 00:47:39,614
You wanna open up yours
Christmas presents early?

1018
00:47:41,536 --> 00:47:42,537
Yes, let's do it now!

1019
00:47:42,617 --> 00:47:43,978
See, now. No. You're pretending.

1020
00:47:44,058 --> 00:47:45,900
This is your idea of some
kind of practical joke, right?

1021
00:47:45,980 --> 00:47:48,062
Gosh, Blake, that's why
I said yes to helping you!

1022
00:47:48,142 --> 00:47:50,184
You can't say no for real?

1023
00:47:53,308 --> 00:47:55,310
You want to put this
Christmas bell up your nose?

1024
00:48:00,114 --> 00:48:01,356
Yes!

1025
00:48:01,436 --> 00:48:03,718
(laughing)

1026
00:48:03,798 --> 00:48:06,601
No, I don't have to actually
do it, I just say yes!

1027
00:48:06,681 --> 00:48:08,042
Well, that's no fun.

1028
00:48:08,122 --> 00:48:09,804
Look, how am I supposed
to work if I'm off at

1029
00:48:09,884 --> 00:48:11,806
- a gift-wrap-a-thon?
- Don't show up.

1030
00:48:11,886 --> 00:48:14,289
Well, that's rude.
It makes my parents look bad.

1031
00:48:14,369 --> 00:48:15,650
My mom already thinks
I'm avoiding her!

1032
00:48:15,730 --> 00:48:17,051
Trying to come up
with excuses to get out

1033
00:48:17,131 --> 00:48:18,333
of spending time with them.

1034
00:48:18,413 --> 00:48:21,296
I don't want to
hurt their feelings.

1035
00:48:21,376 --> 00:48:23,378
Just please?

1036
00:48:26,981 --> 00:48:29,824
I wish that June could
say no to Christmas!

1037
00:48:32,787 --> 00:48:34,789
(ringing)

1038
00:48:36,431 --> 00:48:38,553
(pinging)

1039
00:48:38,633 --> 00:48:40,675
Okay, ask me another question.

1040
00:48:40,755 --> 00:48:44,439
Do you want to drink
a full carton of eggnog?

1041
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:46,160
Yes!

1042
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:47,922
(groaning)
You didn't mean it!

1043
00:48:48,002 --> 00:48:49,243
Well, what can I say?

1044
00:48:49,324 --> 00:48:50,645
The first one
was from the heart!

1045
00:48:50,725 --> 00:48:52,046
So sue me.

1046
00:48:52,126 --> 00:48:53,728
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Okay, okay, okay, okay!

1047
00:48:53,808 --> 00:48:56,090
For argument's sake,
you are having fun, right?

1048
00:48:56,170 --> 00:48:58,172
No, this isn't funny! Apologize!

1049
00:48:58,252 --> 00:48:59,854
I'm sorry!

1050
00:48:59,934 --> 00:49:01,736
Yeah, I believe that!
Just like when you apologized

1051
00:49:01,816 --> 00:49:04,819
for duct-taping a harmonica
to my mom's car grill?

1052
00:49:04,899 --> 00:49:06,060
(laughing)

1053
00:49:06,140 --> 00:49:07,782
(grunting)

1054
00:49:07,862 --> 00:49:09,984
Look, at least you only have to
suffer until Christmas, right?

1055
00:49:10,064 --> 00:49:12,066
It's not like people--

1056
00:49:14,949 --> 00:49:16,951
(groaning)

1057
00:49:18,953 --> 00:49:22,517
Release this holiday spell!
That's my Christmas wish!

1058
00:49:22,597 --> 00:49:25,199
(banging pans)

1059
00:49:25,279 --> 00:49:26,441
The deer are going
after the bells!

1060
00:49:26,521 --> 00:49:28,603
What on Earth are you doing?

1061
00:49:28,683 --> 00:49:30,525
Hi, Blake.

1062
00:49:30,605 --> 00:49:32,046
Hi.

1063
00:49:32,126 --> 00:49:36,090
I-- I'm just checking
that everything is secure.

1064
00:49:36,170 --> 00:49:38,132
It's good.

1065
00:49:38,212 --> 00:49:40,575
Um, was this house built
on a reindeer burial ground

1066
00:49:40,655 --> 00:49:41,656
or something?

1067
00:49:41,736 --> 00:49:42,897
What?

1068
00:49:42,977 --> 00:49:45,500
Are you guys
planning on helping us

1069
00:49:45,580 --> 00:49:47,181
prep for
the Christmas mochi party?

1070
00:49:47,261 --> 00:49:49,263
Yes.

1071
00:49:50,825 --> 00:49:52,987
I said yes.

1072
00:49:56,591 --> 00:49:57,952
You owe me.

1073
00:49:58,032 --> 00:50:00,114
Stop hitting me.

1074
00:50:00,194 --> 00:50:02,917
Should have wished
for something bigger, geez.

1075
00:50:02,997 --> 00:50:11,966
♪

1076
00:50:13,247 --> 00:50:16,571
Our Christmas tradition.

1077
00:50:23,217 --> 00:50:25,139
- Hey.
- You ready?

1078
00:50:25,219 --> 00:50:27,341
For what?

1079
00:50:27,422 --> 00:50:30,064
When it gets further along,
we gotta flip it between turns.

1080
00:50:30,144 --> 00:50:32,427
Sorry. What do you
mean by flip it?

1081
00:50:32,507 --> 00:50:34,509
You stick your hand in there
and you turn it.

1082
00:50:36,070 --> 00:50:37,832
It's all about timing and trust.

1083
00:50:37,912 --> 00:50:39,994
Which we have neither.

1084
00:50:40,074 --> 00:50:42,957
Then you better have fast hands.

1085
00:50:43,037 --> 00:50:44,278
(chuckling)

1086
00:50:44,358 --> 00:50:48,763
Yosha! Yosha! Yosha!

1087
00:50:48,843 --> 00:50:51,806
Yosha! Yosha!

1088
00:50:51,886 --> 00:50:55,049
Yosha!
Yosha!

1089
00:50:55,129 --> 00:50:57,852
Yosha! Yosha!

1090
00:50:57,932 --> 00:50:59,414
(cheering)

1091
00:50:59,494 --> 00:51:01,616
Somebody come in here
and take over for this old guy.

1092
00:51:01,696 --> 00:51:03,057
Come on, get in here.

1093
00:51:03,137 --> 00:51:05,219
Here you go.

1094
00:51:05,299 --> 00:51:06,501
Okay.

1095
00:51:06,581 --> 00:51:09,023
Yosha! Yosha!

1096
00:51:09,103 --> 00:51:12,707
Yosha!
Yosha!

1097
00:51:12,787 --> 00:51:15,710
Yosha! Yosha!

1098
00:51:18,713 --> 00:51:20,394
Yosha!

1099
00:51:20,475 --> 00:51:22,797
(laughing)

1100
00:51:22,877 --> 00:51:24,879
Thank you.

1101
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,362
- You ready?
- Define ready.

1102
00:51:28,443 --> 00:51:29,964
You can always just make a wish

1103
00:51:30,044 --> 00:51:31,606
you don't accidentally
get hit, right?

1104
00:51:31,686 --> 00:51:33,247
Let's just do this.

1105
00:51:33,327 --> 00:51:35,369
Go, Blake! Go!

1106
00:51:35,450 --> 00:51:37,532
Faster! Pull it! Turn it!

1107
00:51:37,612 --> 00:51:39,774
Go! Yosha!

1108
00:51:39,854 --> 00:51:42,416
All: Yosha! Yosha!

1109
00:51:42,497 --> 00:51:44,899
Yosha! Yosha!

1110
00:51:44,979 --> 00:51:47,221
Watch it.
You're going to try and hit me?

1111
00:51:47,301 --> 00:51:49,303
Yosha! Yosha!

1112
00:51:49,383 --> 00:51:50,545
You're trying to hit me.

1113
00:51:50,625 --> 00:51:52,587
No, I'm not.

1114
00:51:52,667 --> 00:51:54,669
Do you want your mom to try?

1115
00:52:04,879 --> 00:52:06,200
You didn't embarrass yourself.

1116
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,441
Oh, stop.

1117
00:52:07,522 --> 00:52:09,163
(chuckling)

1118
00:52:09,243 --> 00:52:12,046
Okay, so, just cut a piece
about the size of your palm.

1119
00:52:12,126 --> 00:52:13,768
Oh, it's still warm.

1120
00:52:13,848 --> 00:52:17,732
So, you do this every year?

1121
00:52:17,812 --> 00:52:19,413
Yeah, with everything
that needs to be prepped for

1122
00:52:19,494 --> 00:52:21,536
Japanese New Year,
mom always does this in advance

1123
00:52:21,616 --> 00:52:23,257
as one of
our Christmas traditions.

1124
00:52:23,337 --> 00:52:26,060
Make it into a party since
everyone's already around.

1125
00:52:26,140 --> 00:52:28,743
Must have been fun as a kid.

1126
00:52:28,823 --> 00:52:31,345
Always. Still is.

1127
00:52:31,425 --> 00:52:33,067
You know, in my family,
we didn't have any unique

1128
00:52:33,147 --> 00:52:34,308
traditions like this.

1129
00:52:34,388 --> 00:52:36,390
You're lucky to have this.

1130
00:52:37,391 --> 00:52:39,554
It was important to me
that you had this.

1131
00:52:39,634 --> 00:52:43,758
Sally: So, will you take
over this tradition one day?

1132
00:52:48,282 --> 00:52:49,924
I hope so.

1133
00:52:50,004 --> 00:52:52,006
(chuckling)

1134
00:52:58,292 --> 00:53:00,655
June: Sally, if you
store it in the freezer,

1135
00:53:00,735 --> 00:53:01,776
it'll last a while.

1136
00:53:01,856 --> 00:53:04,058
This was a lot of fun.

1137
00:53:04,138 --> 00:53:06,140
Thank you.

1138
00:53:08,142 --> 00:53:10,865
Listen, you've been
so generous and kind,

1139
00:53:10,945 --> 00:53:12,667
inviting us into your home,

1140
00:53:12,747 --> 00:53:16,030
but I want to be up-front.

1141
00:53:16,110 --> 00:53:19,834
You work for Kainer & Smith
so inevitably it'll come up,

1142
00:53:19,914 --> 00:53:23,758
but I could never
sign a book deal with them.

1143
00:53:23,838 --> 00:53:27,762
Nothing to do
with you of course.

1144
00:53:27,842 --> 00:53:31,966
I just got out of
a long-term exclusive book deal

1145
00:53:32,046 --> 00:53:34,008
that was toxic.

1146
00:53:34,088 --> 00:53:36,771
I want to
figure out what's next.

1147
00:53:36,851 --> 00:53:40,935
Kainer & Smith is the type of
place that puts sales first.

1148
00:53:41,015 --> 00:53:43,417
I'm looking for something more.

1149
00:53:43,497 --> 00:53:46,340
They would let you do anything.

1150
00:53:46,420 --> 00:53:48,102
You're the Sally Wells.

1151
00:53:48,182 --> 00:53:50,184
It's not who they are.

1152
00:53:51,425 --> 00:53:55,710
You know,
Elf For Hire was my first book.

1153
00:53:55,790 --> 00:53:59,634
Before publishers
and editors told me what to do.

1154
00:53:59,714 --> 00:54:03,517
You reminded me what I lost.

1155
00:54:03,598 --> 00:54:07,041
The other day when you
said it made you feel seen.

1156
00:54:09,844 --> 00:54:11,806
Yeah. You're right.

1157
00:54:11,886 --> 00:54:14,568
But if there's
any way I could help you,

1158
00:54:14,649 --> 00:54:15,810
I would love to.

1159
00:54:15,890 --> 00:54:17,892
You like working there?

1160
00:54:19,974 --> 00:54:22,416
I wish I could work on more
Elf For Hire-type books,

1161
00:54:22,496 --> 00:54:26,180
but it's the top places
that'll open doors for me.

1162
00:54:26,260 --> 00:54:28,262
Make sense.

1163
00:54:30,424 --> 00:54:31,986
Thank you again. Arigato.

1164
00:54:32,066 --> 00:54:34,068
Dou itashimashite!

1165
00:54:36,951 --> 00:54:38,512
I've been at the top.

1166
00:54:38,592 --> 00:54:42,476
Doesn't mean anything
if your heart isn't there.

1167
00:54:42,556 --> 00:54:46,120
For me it was just deferring
who I wanted to be artistically.

1168
00:54:47,601 --> 00:54:50,044
Merry Christmas, June.

1169
00:54:50,124 --> 00:54:52,126
Merry Christmas.

1170
00:54:57,371 --> 00:54:58,853
Did that go as planned?

1171
00:54:58,933 --> 00:55:00,935
Not at all.

1172
00:55:03,217 --> 00:55:07,942
Anything I can do to help?

1173
00:55:08,022 --> 00:55:12,146
I'm home for Christmas
and I'm going to enjoy it.

1174
00:55:12,226 --> 00:55:14,028
Every single tradition
I've been forced to miss

1175
00:55:14,108 --> 00:55:16,110
I'm missing no more.

1176
00:55:17,511 --> 00:55:19,513
(chuckling)

1177
00:55:23,998 --> 00:55:25,920
You want to go see the Christmas
lights at the square?

1178
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,002
Yes, please!

1179
00:55:29,523 --> 00:55:32,286
Yes, I said yes for real.

1180
00:55:32,366 --> 00:55:34,088
That wasn't so hard, now was it?

1181
00:55:34,168 --> 00:55:37,011
Okay, just go.
(laughing)

1182
00:55:38,492 --> 00:55:41,095
I didn't know
how much I needed this.

1183
00:55:41,175 --> 00:55:43,057
You know, Christmas happens
every year?

1184
00:55:43,137 --> 00:55:45,139
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1185
00:55:48,302 --> 00:55:50,464
(both laughing)

1186
00:55:50,544 --> 00:55:52,266
So, what's next on the list?

1187
00:55:52,346 --> 00:55:55,029
Well, there are
ice sculptures by the gazebo.

1188
00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:57,111
Oh, yes. Let's do it!

1189
00:56:00,034 --> 00:56:01,756
Need a partner?

1190
00:56:01,836 --> 00:56:04,598
Ooh, we definitely
didn't do that as kids.

1191
00:56:04,678 --> 00:56:07,922
You were making me dizzy
so I figured I'd join.

1192
00:56:08,002 --> 00:56:11,045
Oh, you know what you're doing.

1193
00:56:11,125 --> 00:56:14,448
Why weren't you nice to me
like this when we were kids?

1194
00:56:14,528 --> 00:56:16,650
You don't know?

1195
00:56:16,731 --> 00:56:19,453
I mean, you weren't mean to me.

1196
00:56:19,533 --> 00:56:21,015
Didn't make me feel
like I didn't fit in,

1197
00:56:21,095 --> 00:56:23,898
but you were
always just annoying.

1198
00:56:23,978 --> 00:56:25,379
(laughing)

1199
00:56:25,459 --> 00:56:27,461
I was.

1200
00:56:28,542 --> 00:56:30,584
You don't know anything
about boys, do you?

1201
00:56:30,664 --> 00:56:35,469
♪ In our favorite time of day ♪

1202
00:56:36,590 --> 00:56:38,592
I had a crush on you.

1203
00:56:39,954 --> 00:56:41,956
You did?

1204
00:56:43,357 --> 00:56:45,760
Yes. I did.

1205
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,763
But clearly
you weren't interested.

1206
00:56:50,284 --> 00:56:53,047
Then we had different
friends in high school,

1207
00:56:53,127 --> 00:56:56,370
I dated Marianne Cole.

1208
00:56:56,450 --> 00:56:57,932
- Okay, alright.
- (laughing)

1209
00:56:58,012 --> 00:57:00,014
Sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm sorry.

1210
00:57:02,937 --> 00:57:05,619
And next minute, you know,

1211
00:57:05,699 --> 00:57:07,701
you left town.

1212
00:57:09,784 --> 00:57:11,786
I didn't know.

1213
00:57:16,030 --> 00:57:18,032
(phone vibrating)

1214
00:57:20,234 --> 00:57:22,236
You want to get that?

1215
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:25,359
I... Yeah. Yeah.

1216
00:57:32,006 --> 00:57:33,007
What's wrong?

1217
00:57:33,087 --> 00:57:36,530
Sally wants to send me her book.

1218
00:57:36,610 --> 00:57:37,892
She wants my thoughts!

1219
00:57:37,972 --> 00:57:40,054
Well, that's awesome, isn't it?

1220
00:57:40,134 --> 00:57:41,575
Yeah, it's more than awesome.

1221
00:57:41,655 --> 00:57:43,417
Listen, if you gotta work,
I can figure things out

1222
00:57:43,497 --> 00:57:44,698
on my own, it's not a problem.

1223
00:57:44,778 --> 00:57:45,779
No, no.

1224
00:57:45,860 --> 00:57:47,862
I'm also going to help you.

1225
00:57:49,743 --> 00:57:53,988
But I should probably get
home now and get back to work.

1226
00:57:54,068 --> 00:57:56,390
This will make up for
ignoring my boss all day.

1227
00:57:56,470 --> 00:57:58,873
Alright. Let's go.

1228
00:57:58,953 --> 00:58:00,955
Okay.

1229
00:58:03,037 --> 00:58:04,518
Has Sally Wells lost it?

1230
00:58:04,598 --> 00:58:06,080
Why are trees so happy?

1231
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:07,801
The trees are happy
because they're going to

1232
00:58:07,882 --> 00:58:08,923
be Christmas trees.

1233
00:58:09,003 --> 00:58:11,725
I know, but it's morbid!

1234
00:58:11,805 --> 00:58:15,169
It just needs a little
nurturing, that's all.

1235
00:58:15,249 --> 00:58:17,411
We don't know how early on
in the process this is.

1236
00:58:17,491 --> 00:58:20,494
No, no, no.

1237
00:58:20,574 --> 00:58:22,456
This can't be the first book
that we publish for her!

1238
00:58:22,536 --> 00:58:24,818
I mean, don't say that,
tell her it's brilliant,

1239
00:58:24,899 --> 00:58:27,461
but it's a tough
sell for mass markets.

1240
00:58:29,263 --> 00:58:32,066
Just convince her to do
something in suburbia with snow.

1241
00:58:32,146 --> 00:58:34,508
A saving Christmas theme
is universally popular.

1242
00:58:34,588 --> 00:58:36,951
Definitely make it
a girl protagonist, that's in.

1243
00:58:37,031 --> 00:58:39,233
Give her a companion to talk to,

1244
00:58:39,313 --> 00:58:41,555
dogs score well,
but anything will do.

1245
00:58:41,635 --> 00:58:44,638
Sally just needs to find
that one magical element

1246
00:58:44,718 --> 00:58:48,082
and unique heartfelt twist!

1247
00:58:48,162 --> 00:58:49,763
Let's get this on
the page already!

1248
00:58:49,843 --> 00:58:53,087
With Sally's name attached,
the merchandise royalties

1249
00:58:53,167 --> 00:58:55,169
will be huge!

1250
00:58:56,570 --> 00:58:58,012
I don't think
she'll want to do that.

1251
00:58:58,092 --> 00:59:00,774
Well, help her help herself.

1252
00:59:02,897 --> 00:59:06,300
Hey, can you close this or not?

1253
00:59:06,380 --> 00:59:09,543
Yes. Of course.

1254
00:59:09,623 --> 00:59:12,106
Update me.

1255
00:59:12,186 --> 00:59:16,510
Okay, so, how many fried
chicken bites will we need?

1256
00:59:16,590 --> 00:59:18,352
For the lager? 80?

1257
00:59:18,432 --> 00:59:19,994
If there's extra,
people can double-up.

1258
00:59:20,074 --> 00:59:21,315
Okay, 80.

1259
00:59:21,395 --> 00:59:23,077
How's Sally book coming along?

1260
00:59:23,157 --> 00:59:27,121
Uh, my boss wants me to tell
her to do something different.

1261
00:59:27,201 --> 00:59:28,322
Safer.

1262
00:59:28,402 --> 00:59:30,124
Hm. What do you think?

1263
00:59:30,204 --> 00:59:32,126
I think it just needs
a little editorial help.

1264
00:59:32,206 --> 00:59:34,208
Then help.

1265
00:59:36,931 --> 00:59:38,132
That's the dream, isn't it?

1266
00:59:38,212 --> 00:59:40,214
Help Sally Wells
do meaningful books?

1267
00:59:44,298 --> 00:59:46,380
So, what would it look like?

1268
00:59:46,460 --> 00:59:48,582
- What?
- Your dream brewery.

1269
00:59:51,425 --> 00:59:53,427
(chuckling)

1270
00:59:54,108 --> 00:59:56,110
Um...

1271
00:59:57,191 --> 00:59:59,193
Long communal tables over there.

1272
01:00:01,795 --> 01:00:04,158
Bookshelves with games on them.

1273
01:00:04,238 --> 01:00:06,240
A garage door,

1274
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,602
you know, that opens up
when the weather's good.

1275
01:00:08,682 --> 01:00:11,125
Um, fire pits outside.

1276
01:00:11,205 --> 01:00:13,927
Maybe even like a garden,
you know?

1277
01:00:14,008 --> 01:00:16,890
For family lawn games and
picnicking.

1278
01:00:16,971 --> 01:00:19,974
A nice little, you know, family
room over here, with like,

1279
01:00:20,054 --> 01:00:21,935
- couches and chairs and stuff.
- Oh yeah.

1280
01:00:22,016 --> 01:00:24,258
So people can learn how
to brew too,

1281
01:00:24,338 --> 01:00:27,221
at home, get their hands dirty.
You know?

1282
01:00:28,782 --> 01:00:30,704
Not that I've been thinking
about it a lot.

1283
01:00:30,784 --> 01:00:32,306

1284
01:00:32,386 --> 01:00:34,388
(sighing)

1285
01:00:43,677 --> 01:00:45,679
I even got this logo too.

1286
01:00:47,201 --> 01:00:49,203
June:
It's special, Blake.

1287
01:00:51,405 --> 01:00:53,407
I hope to see it.

1288
01:00:53,847 --> 01:00:55,849
I hope you drop by.

'Cause I don't live here, so...

1294
01:01:27,521 --> 01:01:29,043
Because we've gotta get this
event done first,

1295
01:01:29,123 --> 01:01:30,724
because that's the most
important thing,

1296

- is the event.
- Yeah, yeah, the event.

1297
01:01:33,287 --> 01:01:35,849
Should we work on the chalkboard
flight menu?

1298
01:01:35,929 --> 01:01:37,211
Yes, I love designing signage.

1299
01:01:37,291 --> 01:01:39,373
Awesome. Awesome.

1300
01:01:39,453 --> 01:01:40,974
I'm gonna get some batteries for
these,

1301
01:01:41,055 --> 01:01:42,856

see you later.

So you're going on a date with
this guy from the Santa Crawl?

1304
01:01:51,105 --> 01:01:53,107
Erika (on phone):
I'm waiting for him now.

1305
01:01:53,187 --> 01:01:55,669
Oh, we spent the entire crawl
together,

1306
01:01:55,749 --> 01:01:57,791
and then at the end,
he took his beard off.

1307
01:01:57,871 --> 01:02:00,274
Thank God he was cute.

1308
01:02:00,354 --> 01:02:03,357
I'm sorry I missed that night.

1309
01:02:03,437 --> 01:02:05,839
- How is being home?
- A lot of fun.

1310
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,082
Relaxing.

1311
01:02:08,162 --> 01:02:10,844
- Relaxing?
- Yeah.

1312
01:02:10,924 --> 01:02:12,326
I didn't realize how much
I needed it.

1313
01:02:12,406 --> 01:02:14,488
You slowing down?

1314
01:02:14,568 --> 01:02:16,930
June:
Yes, it's been energizing.

1315
01:02:17,010 --> 01:02:19,973
Spending time with my parents,
doing lots of Christmas stuff.

1316
01:02:21,175 --> 01:02:23,737
I forgot how much I miss it.

1317
01:02:23,817 --> 01:02:27,181
And I also ran into a childhood
friend, Blake.

1318
01:02:27,261 --> 01:02:30,304
Oooh! A childhood friend,

1319
01:02:30,384 --> 01:02:32,426
now manhood friend.

1320
01:02:32,506 --> 01:02:35,109
Stop! It's not like that.

1321
01:02:35,189 --> 01:02:36,870
Okay, we're just...

1322
01:02:36,950 --> 01:02:38,632
we're just childhood friends.

1323
01:02:38,712 --> 01:02:40,474
Friends and friends and friends,
that's all.

1324
01:02:40,554 --> 01:02:42,556
Okay. Sure. Got it.

1325
01:02:43,357 --> 01:02:44,598
My life is back there.

1326
01:02:44,678 --> 01:02:47,561
- What life?
- You know what I mean?

1327
01:02:47,641 --> 01:02:50,324
In fact, let's make some plans.

1328
01:02:50,404 --> 01:02:52,246
Okay, what have you done
with June?

1329
01:02:52,326 --> 01:02:54,608
Text me a date,
I'll say yes.

1330
01:02:54,688 --> 01:02:56,850
Who are you?

1331
01:02:56,930 --> 01:02:59,453
I'm starting to like this June
imposter better already.

1332
01:02:59,533 --> 01:03:02,216
- June: Hey!
- New year, new you.

1333
01:03:02,296 --> 01:03:04,858
I think it will be good,
seriously.

1334
01:03:04,938 --> 01:03:06,940
I'm looking forward to it.

1335
01:03:08,622 --> 01:03:10,944
- I've gotta go.
- Have fun.

1336
01:03:11,024 --> 01:03:13,907
- Merry Christmas, Erika.
- Merry Christmas.

1337
01:03:26,079 --> 01:03:27,921
- June: Okay, flip it over.
- Blake: Yeah.

1338
01:03:28,001 --> 01:03:30,244
June: And then turn
that corner in,

1339
01:03:30,324 --> 01:03:33,247
and then right,
and then fold it up,

1340
01:03:33,327 --> 01:03:34,808
and then fold it in half.

1341
01:03:34,888 --> 01:03:36,250
- Hey!
- Yeah, now you see it.

1342
01:03:36,330 --> 01:03:37,771
Do you see it?
Do you see it now?

1343
01:03:37,851 --> 01:03:39,012
Blake:
Oh!

1344
01:03:39,092 --> 01:03:41,014
And then turn it, and then...

1345
01:03:41,094 --> 01:03:42,256
Blake:
Hold on, wait, wait, wait.

1346
01:03:42,336 --> 01:03:44,418
- Boom!
- June: There you go.

1347
01:03:44,498 --> 01:03:45,699

1348
01:03:45,779 --> 01:03:47,781
Nice.

1349
01:03:49,423 --> 01:03:52,466
So what party favors are you
putting in the boxes this year?

1350
01:03:52,546 --> 01:03:55,709
Well, I guess you'll just
have to come.

1351
01:03:55,789 --> 01:03:58,952
My mother was always fussy
about presentation.

1352
01:03:59,032 --> 01:04:02,196
Gifts, party favors, needed to
be wrapped up perfectly.

1353
01:04:02,276 --> 01:04:04,758
- Otherwise they're hadaka.
- (giggling)

1354
01:04:04,838 --> 01:04:06,840
Uh, hadaka?

1355
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:08,802
Oh, naked.

1356
01:04:08,882 --> 01:04:11,525

1357
01:04:11,605 --> 01:04:13,447
You guys always go all out
for Christmas.

1358

That's my side of the family.

1359
01:04:17,251 --> 01:04:20,254
My mother was the postwar
generation.

1360
01:04:20,334 --> 01:04:24,218
After internment,
Obaachan and Ojiichan,

1361
01:04:24,298 --> 01:04:26,179
my grandparents,

1362
01:04:26,260 --> 01:04:29,062
they raised my mother and uncle
to embrace

1363
01:04:29,142 --> 01:04:32,065
American Christmas traditions
with all their heart.

1364
01:04:32,145 --> 01:04:36,350
Not in a religious way
but in a "togetherness" way.

1365
01:04:36,430 --> 01:04:38,312
Family. Joy.

1366
01:04:38,392 --> 01:04:39,953
Giving.

1367
01:04:40,033 --> 01:04:42,035
Fitting in.

1368
01:04:43,317 --> 01:04:45,239
Alongside other traditions,

1369
01:04:45,319 --> 01:04:47,321
like Japanese New Year,
of course.

1370
01:04:48,201 --> 01:04:49,803
I had no idea.

1371
01:04:49,883 --> 01:04:51,164
I just always thought
you were into

1372
01:04:51,245 --> 01:04:52,606
all this silly Christmas stuff.

1373
01:04:52,686 --> 01:04:54,688
Oh, I am. It's fun.

your touch.

1377
01:05:00,574 --> 01:05:02,576
I'd hope not.

And maybe a miso dressing salad
for the saison?

I mean, the fruity flavor
of the saison

Yes, sir.

Just say yes.

because my boss

1451
01:08:45,799 --> 01:08:47,601
wanted me to try and sign Sally,

1452
01:08:47,681 --> 01:08:52,245
but being home,
and saying yes to Christmas

1453
01:08:52,325 --> 01:08:55,408
has made me rethink what's
important to me.

1454
01:08:55,489 --> 01:08:57,531
And I don't know what that means
yet, but...

Can we do a bit earlier
or later?

1471

- Why?
- I have a commitment.

1472
01:09:41,414 --> 01:09:43,136
- What commitment?
- A charity event.

1473
01:09:43,216 --> 01:09:45,899
A charity event?
Over your career?

1474
01:09:45,979 --> 01:09:47,821

Do I have to explain my reasons
to you now?

1479
01:09:57,310 --> 01:09:59,793
I have a shareholders' call
that morning,

1480

to meet with our editor-in-chief

1481

No matter how amazing this event
is going to be tomorrow,

01:13:29,362 --> 01:13:31,364
it won't change your dad's mind.

01:13:32,485 --> 01:13:34,127
Did you talk to him?

No, but it's obvious, Blake,
I know you.

You can't ever own up to your
own mess-ups.

on me.

going well.

1557
01:13:44,217 --> 01:13:45,618

You know, I realized,

when we were kids...

And maybe I was clueless.

1562
01:13:58,832 --> 01:14:02,275
But you never once apologized so
I didn't know you cared.
