5
00:00:10,133 --> 00:00:13,867
Far, far away at the
very top of the North Pole,

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,667
right next to Santa's Village
lives a very special man,

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,533
his name is the
Christmas Prince,

8
00:00:21,667 --> 00:00:24,367
the magical ruler
of the North Pole.

9
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:28,433
(soft orchestral music)

10
00:00:28,567 --> 00:00:31,533
Every day, the Christmas
Prince, he tours the North Pole,

11
00:00:31,667 --> 00:00:34,867
granting wishes for the
reindeer and the elves

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,533
and even Santa and Mrs. Claus

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,367
and at the end of the day,
he heads to his palace

14
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:46,100
to make hot chocolate
with peppermint sticks

15
00:00:46,233 --> 00:00:49,700
and when he's finished,
he invites Santa

16
00:00:49,834 --> 00:00:52,767
and Mrs. Claus and all the elves

17
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:57,100
to a Christmas tea in
his royal dining room

18
00:00:57,233 --> 00:01:01,734
to thank them for all their
hard work for making toys.

19
00:01:01,867 --> 00:01:05,233
And after they've eaten
and drank their fill,

20
00:01:05,367 --> 00:01:10,200
he hooks up his beautiful,
white horse, Snowball

21
00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:13,000
and takes them on a merry ride

22
00:01:13,133 --> 00:01:16,100
around Santa's village
in his royal carriage.

23
00:01:16,233 --> 00:01:20,166
Tell them about the wishes
he granted to the elves, Mommy.

24
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:24,767
Well, one elf got a sweater

25
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,767
knitted from the hair of
the Abominable Snowman.

26
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:30,000
[Kids] Whoa!

27
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:31,767
But here's the
really special thing

28
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:33,934
about the Christmas Prince,

29
00:01:34,066 --> 00:01:36,600
he was so good at spreading joy,

30
00:01:36,734 --> 00:01:39,433
Santa gave him a new job.

31
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:42,066
Each year, during
the Christmas season,

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,433
the Christmas Prince would
choose one boy or girl

33
00:01:46,567 --> 00:01:49,500
to be his king or queen

34
00:01:49,633 --> 00:01:54,100
and that lucky boy or
girl gets 12 wishes,

35
00:01:54,233 --> 00:01:57,000
one for each day
leading up to Christmas.

36
00:01:57,133 --> 00:02:01,066
How come my mom and dad
never told me about this guy?

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,734
Not everybody knows
about the Christmas Prince,

38
00:02:03,867 --> 00:02:06,967
just my family, my
dad told me about him,

39
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:08,900
my grandpa told my dad

40
00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:12,667
and my great grandpa
told my grandpa.

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,834
Okay, kids, Story
Time is done for today.

42
00:02:14,967 --> 00:02:16,900
Tomorrow, Sherman's mom's coming

43
00:02:17,033 --> 00:02:19,400
to read Sherman's
favorite Christmas book.

44
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:22,000
But for now, Miss Shelby
has to be getting to work.

45
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:23,500
My mom builds rockets,

46
00:02:23,633 --> 00:02:26,900
so they can answer all the
questions of the universe.

47
00:02:27,033 --> 00:02:28,900
Let's say thank
you to Grace's mom

48
00:02:29,033 --> 00:02:30,667
for coming to Parent Story Time.

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,800
[Kids] Thank you.

50
00:02:31,934 --> 00:02:32,767
You're welcome.

51
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:35,900
All right, Princess, bye, muah!

52
00:02:36,033 --> 00:02:37,633
- Bye, Mommy.
- Bye.

53
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:41,066
(soft orchestral music)

54
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:50,834
[Engineer] 10,
nine, eight, seven,

55
00:02:50,967 --> 00:02:53,834
six, five, four,

56
00:02:53,967 --> 00:02:58,300
three, two, one, zero,

57
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:00,133
(rocket roaring)
lift off.

58
00:03:00,266 --> 00:03:02,633
- Whoo!
- Yes!

59
00:03:02,767 --> 00:03:05,467
(all cheering and applauding)

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,200
[Shelby] Whoo hoo hoo!

61
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:09,233
- We did it!
- We did it!

62
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,066
Oh!
- Oh!

63
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,567
Oh!

64
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:15,734
- A toast.
- Yes.

65
00:03:15,867 --> 00:03:18,867
To the culmination
of seven years

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,633
and to the best
supervisor in history.

67
00:03:21,767 --> 00:03:25,367
And to one of the
best rocket engineers

68
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:27,633
I have ever worked with.

69
00:03:27,767 --> 00:03:30,233
(glasses clinking)
(both laughing)

70
00:03:30,367 --> 00:03:31,467
That feels good.

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,967
Oh, and to our fearless
leader, Dr. Spock

72
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:40,900
called the worst
director in history.

73
00:03:41,033 --> 00:03:44,533
Finally emerged from
the Vulcan Cave, I see.

74
00:03:44,667 --> 00:03:45,967
You know, I'm still not sure

75
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,467
if he even knows my first name.

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,066
You've been working
here for four years,

77
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,633
how is that even possible?

78
00:03:50,767 --> 00:03:52,633
Same reason he doesn't know
you're a single mom, I guess.

79
00:03:52,767 --> 00:03:53,900
It's almost kind of impressive

80
00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:56,233
how he can consistently
be so oblivious.

81
00:03:56,367 --> 00:03:59,133
That's his superpower clearly.

82
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:02,100
The Board is very
happy about this launch.

83
00:04:02,233 --> 00:04:05,633
Thank you, Scott, frankly,
I was a little worried,

84
00:04:05,767 --> 00:04:08,200
when you said you wanted
to speak with me today.

85
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,600
Actually, I was easing
my way into this next part.

86
00:04:10,734 --> 00:04:12,867
Can we talk in your office?

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,367
Ah, okay, yeah.

88
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,467
Bottom line, the
Board is concerned

89
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,934
about your performance.

90
00:04:19,066 --> 00:04:20,433
But you just said-

91
00:04:20,567 --> 00:04:22,266
It's not your technical
skills that are the problem,

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,633
it's your management.

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,800
I see.

94
00:04:25,934 --> 00:04:28,934
(background people chattering)

95
00:04:29,066 --> 00:04:31,266
Losing three key players
in the last six months

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,367
is way above norm
and they all cite you

97
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,800
as the reason for leaving.
- I understand that-

98
00:04:34,934 --> 00:04:36,200
Look, the point is,

99
00:04:36,333 --> 00:04:38,533
we can't afford to
lose any more people.

100
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,633
The Board's concerned
you're gonna fall behind

101
00:04:40,767 --> 00:04:42,367
on this next phase and
if we miss the window

102
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:44,266
for the deployment
of the solar array.

103
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,200
I understand, it
will cost us millions.

104
00:04:47,333 --> 00:04:48,967
It won't be a problem,

105
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,100
I'll make sure that everyone
puts in some extra hours.

106
00:04:52,233 --> 00:04:55,266
Don't push so hard and if
you lose any more employees,

107
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,467
you're headed for review.

108
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,533
I didn't realize
it was that dire.

109
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:01,433
Look, I personally
love the fact,

110
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,934
that you don't have a life,
but it might be good for you

111
00:05:04,066 --> 00:05:06,300
to remember that some
of your employees do.

112
00:05:07,567 --> 00:05:10,266
(soft melodic music)

113
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,734
Okay.

114
00:05:14,233 --> 00:05:17,166
And try to have a little fun.

115
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:19,533
(door clicking)

116
00:05:19,667 --> 00:05:23,367
All right, next is
Mars. (laughing)

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,700
(soft orchestral music)

118
00:05:32,834 --> 00:05:35,600
(gasping) Yay!

119
00:05:35,734 --> 00:05:40,166
You did it on your own this
year, you are growing so fast.

120
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,100
That's what Daddy
always used to say.

121
00:05:44,233 --> 00:05:48,867
He did say that, didn't he?

122
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:54,934
Hm, what do you think?

123
00:05:55,066 --> 00:05:58,266
Hm.

124
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,600
A couple more ornaments maybe?

125
00:06:01,734 --> 00:06:03,066
Okay.

126
00:06:04,967 --> 00:06:07,233
How was school today?

127
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:08,767
Sherman told me
he didn't think

128
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:11,266
the Christmas Prince was real.

129
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,600
Well, Sherman doesn't
know everything.

130
00:06:14,734 --> 00:06:16,033
I know.

131
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,934
All my friends like the
Christmas Prince story

132
00:06:22,066 --> 00:06:24,266
better than any of
the other stories

133
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,000
the other moms and dads
told for Story Time.

134
00:06:28,133 --> 00:06:31,066
I'm glad, love bug,
that makes me happy.

135
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,100
Okay, snuggle in.

136
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:42,500
Mommy, is the
Christmas Prince real?

137
00:06:42,633 --> 00:06:44,767
He is if you believe in him.

138
00:06:46,233 --> 00:06:50,767
But how would I know him,
you know, if I saw him?

139
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:52,433
Well,

140
00:06:52,567 --> 00:06:55,000
he is tall,

141
00:06:55,133 --> 00:06:58,333
dark and very handsome

142
00:06:58,467 --> 00:06:59,934
and most of all,

143
00:07:00,133 --> 00:07:05,100
the Prince has a little
mark on his hand right here,

144
00:07:06,266 --> 00:07:10,000
where Rudolph kissed
him when he was a baby.

145
00:07:10,133 --> 00:07:13,400
(Shelby imitating kissing)

146
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:15,100
Wow, that's cool.

147
00:07:16,033 --> 00:07:17,333
I know.

148
00:07:17,467 --> 00:07:19,300
Okay, are you snug as a bug?

149
00:07:19,433 --> 00:07:20,967
Yep.

150
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:22,834
One kiss?

151
00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:23,900
[Shelby] Muah!

152
00:07:24,033 --> 00:07:25,066
Two kiss?

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,400
[Shelby] Muah, muah!

154
00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:27,333
Three kiss?

155
00:07:27,467 --> 00:07:28,567
Muah, muah, muah!

156
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:29,800
Four kiss?

157
00:07:29,934 --> 00:07:31,567
[Shelby] Muah,
muah, muah, muah!

158
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:32,834
And.
(Shelby gasping)

159
00:07:32,967 --> 00:07:33,934
Last kiss.

160
00:07:35,467 --> 00:07:38,400
Muah!

161
00:07:38,533 --> 00:07:39,500
Sleep tight, love bug.

162
00:07:39,633 --> 00:07:41,100
Night, Mommy.

163
00:07:48,700 --> 00:07:52,834
Christmas Prince,
it's me, Grace.

164
00:07:52,967 --> 00:07:54,734
I wanted to ask you a favor.

165
00:07:54,867 --> 00:07:57,900
See, it's been a
really hard year.

166
00:07:58,033 --> 00:08:00,467
Sherman bugs me and
since I moved schools,

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,467
I still don't have
a lot of friends,

168
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,500
but most of all, I really,
really miss my daddy.

169
00:08:09,433 --> 00:08:10,800
So it would be really nice,

170
00:08:10,934 --> 00:08:14,233
if you could make me your
queen this year, please.

171
00:08:15,367 --> 00:08:19,133
(soft orchestral music)

172
00:08:33,166 --> 00:08:37,867
(Shelby knocking)

173
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,734
- Hey!
- Hey!

174
00:08:38,867 --> 00:08:41,233
You saved my life.

175
00:08:41,367 --> 00:08:42,900
The boss is
tightening the screws.

176
00:08:43,033 --> 00:08:44,633
- Oh, that's unusual.
- Right?

177
00:08:44,767 --> 00:08:47,133
I owe you like 123 pickups.

178
00:08:47,266 --> 00:08:49,967
124, not that I'm counting.

179
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,300
Oh, hey, heads up, Grace
was a little outta sorts,

180
00:08:52,433 --> 00:08:54,867
when I picked her up today.
- What happened? Hi, honey.

181
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,734
The school announced
that they're having

182
00:08:56,867 --> 00:09:00,367
the annual Christmas Dance
when we bring the whole family.

183
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,200
Perfect. What
are you gonna do?

184
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:04,867
Luckily my brother said
he'd come, so that helps.

185
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,867
Sometimes I really wonder why
I moved away from my family.

186
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,467
Hey, you have
me and the group,

187
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,633
what more could a gal want?

188
00:09:11,767 --> 00:09:13,967
True and speaking
of the group,

189
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:15,367
Toy Drive wrapping tonight?

190
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:17,300
Yep. Jessie, we gotta go, hun.

191
00:09:17,433 --> 00:09:19,700
Six o'clock at my place.
- Okay, I'll be there.

192
00:09:19,834 --> 00:09:20,767
All right, bye.

193
00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:21,934
Bye, guys.

194
00:09:22,066 --> 00:09:25,367
(soft orchestral music)

195
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,633
You're gonna have to
stay in the break room

196
00:09:29,767 --> 00:09:31,767
and play on your iPad, okay?

197
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:33,033
Okay.

198
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:36,367
My boss is sort of
a Grumpus, remember?

199
00:09:37,433 --> 00:09:39,767
So no coming out.

200
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:42,100
Okay.

201
00:09:42,233 --> 00:09:45,033
Hey,

202
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:47,767
Nicole said that
you were worried

203
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:49,700
about that Christmas Dance.

204
00:09:50,900 --> 00:09:52,300
Kinda.

205
00:09:52,433 --> 00:09:55,767
Well, you know, some families
only have a couple of people

206
00:09:55,900 --> 00:09:58,633
and that's okay, right?

207
00:09:58,767 --> 00:10:01,467
Not everybody has a big family.

208
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,934
I know, just not
anyone in my school.

209
00:10:06,066 --> 00:10:08,867
Don't worry, I'm
gonna make this

210
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,567
the best Christmas ever,

211
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,367
I promise.

212
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:15,567
Okay?
- Okay.

213
00:10:17,667 --> 00:10:19,367
Love you, love bug.

214
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:20,367
Bye.

215
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:21,867
Bye.

216
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,100
(background people chattering)

217
00:10:26,233 --> 00:10:30,200
Ah, (clears throat)
excuse me, everyone.

218
00:10:31,266 --> 00:10:34,967
I-I have an announcement.

219
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,867
As we all know, a successful
launch, while positive

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,133
is hardly a time to
run a victory life.

221
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:42,467
He's gonna ask us
to work on Christmas.

222
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,467
No, he's not, even
for him, that's just-

223
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,800
I understand it's
the holiday season,

224
00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:53,200
but since we are
slightly understaffed,

225
00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:55,600
we are all going to have
to put in some extra hours

226
00:10:55,734 --> 00:10:57,100
to hit our target date-
- No, no, no.

227
00:10:57,233 --> 00:10:58,600
Please don't say it.
- For the next phase.

228
00:10:58,734 --> 00:11:00,600
You really don't, really
don't have to say it.

229
00:11:00,734 --> 00:11:02,533
So everyone should
expect to work

230
00:11:02,667 --> 00:11:04,433
a full day on Christmas Eve

231
00:11:04,567 --> 00:11:07,333
and if necessary, a
half day on Christmas.

232
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:08,800
Are you crazy?

233
00:11:09,734 --> 00:11:11,200
She doesn't mean that.

234
00:11:11,333 --> 00:11:14,600
No, no, that is
exactly what I mean.

235
00:11:14,734 --> 00:11:19,100
People have families
and problems.

236
00:11:19,233 --> 00:11:23,100
And in the spirit
of this happy season,

237
00:11:23,233 --> 00:11:26,667
let's all take a
deep breath and-

238
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,533
And just be happy, huh?

239
00:11:33,834 --> 00:11:35,433
So Merry Christmas Time

240
00:11:35,567 --> 00:11:39,266
and thank you for
understanding and listening.

241
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,333
(soft melodic music)

242
00:11:42,467 --> 00:11:44,700
That's it, he's leaving?

243
00:11:44,834 --> 00:11:46,367
You're just leaving?

244
00:11:47,567 --> 00:11:49,934
(clears throat) I'm,
I'm sorry you find this

245
00:11:50,066 --> 00:11:53,433
so distressing, but this
is not a normal job.

246
00:11:53,567 --> 00:11:55,934
We are rocket
engineers, scientists.

247
00:11:56,066 --> 00:11:58,700
Which is why I work
weekends, over time

248
00:11:58,834 --> 00:12:01,266
and more holidays than
I can care to remember.

249
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,433
Well then, you understand
the importance of sacrifice,

250
00:12:03,567 --> 00:12:05,500
even on Christmas and
if you don't like it,

251
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:06,734
then you can just-

252
00:12:06,867 --> 00:12:08,767
What?

253
00:12:08,900 --> 00:12:11,400
Quit?

254
00:12:11,533 --> 00:12:13,767
If you insist on being
so inflexible, then-

255
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,667
Inflexible? (laughs
incredulously)

256
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,834
I'm the one who's inflexible?

257
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,934
That's it, I am out of here.

258
00:12:23,066 --> 00:12:24,767
This is very inappropriate.

259
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:25,934
Inappropriate?

260
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:27,734
You're the one
who's inappropriate

261
00:12:27,867 --> 00:12:29,433
with your Merry Christmas
work on Christmas,

262
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:31,500
because I'm a rocking
engineer speech.

263
00:12:31,633 --> 00:12:35,033
Why do you think people are
dropping like flies around here?

264
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:39,767
(soft melodic music)
(objects clattering)

265
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:41,266
I need a box.

266
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,533
- Shelby, please don't go.
- Does anybody have a box?

267
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,433
Don't help.

268
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,834
(objects clattering)

269
00:12:49,967 --> 00:12:50,667
Thank you.

270
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,100
You're making a scene.

271
00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:56,600
I realize that.

272
00:12:56,734 --> 00:13:00,667
And...

273
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,066
That is all I have to say.

274
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,166
(soft melodic music)

275
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:08,834
Mommy, my iPad isn't working.

276
00:13:08,967 --> 00:13:10,233
Honey, we are leaving.

277
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:15,834
(soft orchestral music)

278
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:17,834
You came, you came.

279
00:13:17,967 --> 00:13:18,667
Ah.

280
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,633
I knew you'd come.

281
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:21,734
Hm.

282
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:23,500
Grace, stop
hugging the nice man.

283
00:13:23,633 --> 00:13:27,667
He's not the nice man,
he's the Christmas Prince.

284
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,166
- Honey.
- The what?

285
00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:31,500
He's my boss, he is
not the Christmas Prince.

286
00:13:31,633 --> 00:13:32,600
He is too.

287
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:39,000
Look, he has a reindeer
kiss burn mark.

288
00:13:39,133 --> 00:13:42,667
This is gonna be the
best Christmas ever.

289
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,900
(soft melodic music)

290
00:13:48,867 --> 00:13:50,300
(melodic piano music)

291
00:13:50,433 --> 00:13:51,834
She thinks you're who?

292
00:13:51,967 --> 00:13:53,667
The Christmas Prince,

293
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,333
whatever that is, very odd.

294
00:13:57,467 --> 00:13:58,900
So what's the plan, genius?

295
00:13:59,033 --> 00:14:01,233
You know, I hate it
when you call me that.

296
00:14:01,367 --> 00:14:04,066
Fine, what's the
plan, brainiac?

297
00:14:05,266 --> 00:14:07,900
I don't have one, only
I can't let her quit.

298
00:14:08,033 --> 00:14:10,133
I thought she did quit.

299
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:12,233
She did, although
I'm surprised I noticed

300
00:14:12,367 --> 00:14:15,467
with her daughter clinging
to my pant leg like she was.

301
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,133
Have you told your
boss any of this?

302
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:19,633
Not yet.

303
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:22,400
Good, then all you have
to do is butter her up,

304
00:14:22,533 --> 00:14:23,967
get her back before
you get booted.

305
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:25,333
Butter her up?

306
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,400
I may be wrong, but I
don't think I'm skilled

307
00:14:28,533 --> 00:14:29,734
at buttering up anyone.

308
00:14:29,867 --> 00:14:31,734
Then you'd better learn quick.

309
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,967
You do revel in
torturing me, don't you?

310
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,967
I'm your sister, it's my job.

311
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:40,033
It's probably too late anyway,

312
00:14:40,166 --> 00:14:43,133
she probably had it worked
out to the finest detail.

313
00:14:43,266 --> 00:14:44,734
No one quits without
a backup plan.

314
00:14:44,867 --> 00:14:48,233
Hm, you'd be surprised.

315
00:14:52,533 --> 00:14:56,033
(cheerful Christmas music)

316
00:14:56,166 --> 00:14:58,400
I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

317
00:14:58,533 --> 00:15:01,533
The one thing I do know is
that I made a complete idiot

318
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,700
of myself in front
of my entire team.

319
00:15:03,834 --> 00:15:05,100
What happened?

320
00:15:05,233 --> 00:15:07,700
Please, I don't
wanna relive it.

321
00:15:07,834 --> 00:15:12,200
The point is, I can't
not just have a job,

322
00:15:12,333 --> 00:15:13,700
especially now, it's Christmas.

323
00:15:13,834 --> 00:15:16,133
Well, what about that
other job you applied to

324
00:15:16,266 --> 00:15:17,800
at Skyrocket a while ago?

325
00:15:17,934 --> 00:15:20,200
Oh yeah, you said
that was your dream job.

326
00:15:20,333 --> 00:15:22,367
Well, it wasn't really
a serious application

327
00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:25,533
and landing a job like
that is next to impossible.

328
00:15:25,667 --> 00:15:28,967
Besides, I love my work,

329
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:30,800
it's Evan I can't stand.

330
00:15:30,934 --> 00:15:33,800
Oh, which still
isn't a terrible reason
to take a new job.

331
00:15:33,934 --> 00:15:35,767
Skyrocket's in California,

332
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:37,867
besides, Grace has
had a hard enough time

333
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,934
changing schools in
the same district,

334
00:15:40,066 --> 00:15:42,100
let alone moving to
a different state.

335
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:43,700
And then she'd have
to make all new friends.

336
00:15:43,834 --> 00:15:45,934
And you wouldn't
have all of us.

337
00:15:46,066 --> 00:15:48,200
I don't have the
Skyrocket job anyway.

338
00:15:48,333 --> 00:15:51,967
Okay, okay, let's remember
our number one rule.

339
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:53,934
One thing at a time.
(Shelby sighing)

340
00:15:54,066 --> 00:15:55,033
What are you gonna do

341
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:57,567
about this whole
Christmas Prince thing?

342
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:01,033
Well, I mean, I
can't tell Grace

343
00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:05,100
the Christmas Prince
isn't, you know, real.

344
00:16:05,233 --> 00:16:07,533
What is the Christmas
Prince anyway?

345
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,934
It's this story that has
been in our family for years

346
00:16:13,066 --> 00:16:15,767
and it's Grace's
favorite Christmas thing.

347
00:16:15,900 --> 00:16:17,600
No, no, danger.
(all laughing)

348
00:16:17,734 --> 00:16:21,100
I know, right and
the worst part is

349
00:16:21,233 --> 00:16:25,333
the Prince's magical powers
have grown every year.

350
00:16:25,467 --> 00:16:26,767
(Nicole laughing)
- I know your pain,

351
00:16:26,900 --> 00:16:28,867
our Christmas elf went from
showing up in a new room

352
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,834
every morning to
arriving with a gift,

353
00:16:30,967 --> 00:16:32,867
then it was arriving
with a gift and a poem

354
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,367
and then it was a clue to
some elaborate scavenger hunt

355
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:37,500
to find the elf, the
gift and the poem

356
00:16:37,633 --> 00:16:41,934
and this happens every
single day until Christmas.

357
00:16:42,066 --> 00:16:44,834
So what are you gonna do?

358
00:16:44,967 --> 00:16:46,867
Well, I'm not
gonna ask my boss

359
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,367
to be the Christmas
Prince, that's for sure.

360
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,934
(soft orchestral music)

361
00:16:55,066 --> 00:16:58,700
Okay, no, I am
not gonna do that.

362
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,834
He wouldn't even
do it, trust me.

363
00:17:04,967 --> 00:17:08,667
I don't know, too bad you
don't have some dirt on him.

364
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,266
Oh, yeah, you
could blackmail him

365
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,333
into being the Christmas Prince.

366
00:17:12,467 --> 00:17:14,333
Solved it.
(hands slapping)

367
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:15,834
Blackmail it is.

368
00:17:15,967 --> 00:17:17,200
Wait a minute,

369
00:17:18,467 --> 00:17:23,333
that actually is the
perfect solution.

370
00:17:23,467 --> 00:17:26,100
So you're blackmailing me?

371
00:17:26,233 --> 00:17:30,834
Think of it more as
a symbiotic bargain.

372
00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:34,834
I won't quit if you play the
role of the Christmas Prince.

373
00:17:34,967 --> 00:17:37,433
Who is magical and
grants every single wish

374
00:17:37,567 --> 00:17:39,266
your daughter comes up with.

375
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,333
In a nutshell, yes.

376
00:17:41,467 --> 00:17:44,166
(soft melodic music)

377
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:45,767
I have a counter offer.

378
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:49,166
Okay, there are professionals
that do this kind of thing.

379
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,600
Okay, so you don't quit
and I will cover the cost

380
00:17:52,734 --> 00:17:54,433
for you to hire a pro.

381
00:17:55,367 --> 00:17:57,333
No, it has to be you.

382
00:17:57,467 --> 00:18:01,834
Why? Look, I-I am
not good with children.

383
00:18:01,967 --> 00:18:04,066
Heck, I wasn't good at
being a child myself.

384
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,567
It's because you
have that on your hand.

385
00:18:07,700 --> 00:18:09,066
What, my birthmark?

386
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,266
It's the mark left when
Rudolph kissed the baby Prince.

387
00:18:13,367 --> 00:18:14,066
Rudolph?

388
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,333
Rudolph.

389
00:18:15,467 --> 00:18:18,166
Why would you keep up
such a ludicrous facade?

390
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:19,734
Well, excuse me, for trying

391
00:18:19,867 --> 00:18:21,667
to keep the magic
alive for my daughter,

392
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,300
goodness knows, she'll
get her innocence

393
00:18:23,433 --> 00:18:24,734
knocked right out
of her soon enough.

394
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:26,500
I just don't understand
why parents keep up-

395
00:18:26,633 --> 00:18:28,633
You don't have to understand.

396
00:18:28,767 --> 00:18:31,233
Do you want the deal or not?

397
00:18:33,467 --> 00:18:38,300
(sighing) Um, what type of
wishes are we talking about?

398
00:18:38,433 --> 00:18:42,734
I will take care of that,
nothing too outrageous.

399
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,066
If you don't wanna be the
Christmas Prince for Grace,

400
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,166
then ask yourself this,
do you really wanna gamble

401
00:18:53,367 --> 00:18:55,767
on losing another
employee right now?

402
00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,967
(soft melodic music)

403
00:19:03,633 --> 00:19:07,266
(snowballs thudding)

404
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,533
So Egon the Terrible

405
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:12,433
is actually going to be
the Christmas Prince?

406
00:19:12,567 --> 00:19:16,367
Strange, but apparently true.

407
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:18,767
How is he gonna
pull off 12 wishes?

408
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:20,367
Oh, please don't
say that out loud.

409
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:22,266
What, you're the one
who came up with it.

410
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,500
Don't say that
out loud either.

411
00:19:24,633 --> 00:19:25,867
So what's the plan?

412
00:19:26,967 --> 00:19:28,934
I'll have a talk with Grace.

413
00:19:29,066 --> 00:19:31,100
Maybe I can get her down
to one or two wishes.

414
00:19:31,233 --> 00:19:32,700
[Sherman] The Christmas
Prince isn't real.

415
00:19:32,834 --> 00:19:34,433
[Grace] You don't know what
you're talking about, Sherman.

416
00:19:34,567 --> 00:19:36,266
Oh-oh, looks like we've
got a showdown in the yard.

417
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,000
It is too and I
am so going to be

418
00:19:38,133 --> 00:19:40,000
the Christmas Princess
Queen this year.

419
00:19:40,133 --> 00:19:41,200
I don't believe you.

420
00:19:41,333 --> 00:19:42,500
You're gonna feel
like a dumb-dumb,

421
00:19:42,633 --> 00:19:44,367
when he grants all
of Grace's wishes

422
00:19:44,500 --> 00:19:46,667
and you only get stuff
from Santa Claus.

423
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Don't say dumb-dumb,
Jess, it's not polite.

424
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:53,033
But Sherman said the Christmas
Prince isn't real again.

425
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:55,934
Grace, let's not
fight with our friends.

426
00:19:56,066 --> 00:19:58,333
Sometimes they believe
in different things

427
00:19:58,467 --> 00:19:59,700
and it doesn't make-
- But you're the one,

428
00:19:59,834 --> 00:20:02,300
who says Sherman
doesn't know everything.

429
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,700
Well, I might have
mentioned something like that,

430
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:08,266
but I didn't mean it.
- Even if he is real,

431
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,700
you're probably gonna
ask for something easy,

432
00:20:10,834 --> 00:20:13,367
so that your mom can
make it come true.

433
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:15,500
Oh yeah, wanna see my list?

434
00:20:15,633 --> 00:20:18,333
Grace, no, no, now
is not the time to do-

435
00:20:18,467 --> 00:20:20,934
(soft melodic music)

436
00:20:21,066 --> 00:20:23,967
Whoa, you're gonna get a
pony to live in your closet?

437
00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:31,934
Wow, Grace really brought
out the big guns, huh?

438
00:20:32,066 --> 00:20:34,600
(sighing) Pony is the
least of my concern.

439
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:40,600
Evan's gonna be the
Christmas Prince.

440
00:20:40,734 --> 00:20:43,200
You're right, the pony is
the least of your concerns.

441
00:20:43,333 --> 00:20:45,700
I know, it's bad.

442
00:20:45,834 --> 00:20:47,100
He's actually doing it?

443
00:20:47,233 --> 00:20:48,100
He'd better.

444
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,500
(clears throat) Morning.

445
00:20:52,633 --> 00:20:54,500
Yes, it is.

446
00:20:54,633 --> 00:20:57,633
(soft melodic music)

447
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:02,233
Good chat, gotta work.

448
00:21:02,367 --> 00:21:05,367
(soft melodic music)

449
00:21:06,367 --> 00:21:10,333
So you take cream, huh?

450
00:21:10,467 --> 00:21:12,667
Is there a reason I shouldn't?

451
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,000
No, no, no, no, I was,
I was just noticing.

452
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:23,400
(soft melodic music)

453
00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:25,066
Did you want something?

454
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,767
Actually, yes.

455
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:29,200
Would you mind if I get
you a cup of coffee?

456
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,433
A good one.

457
00:21:33,567 --> 00:21:36,667
(soft melodic music)

458
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:42,600
Okay, "Watch a Christmas
movie with Santa and the elves.

459
00:21:42,734 --> 00:21:45,266
A giant size gingerbread
house to play in.

460
00:21:47,633 --> 00:21:52,767
A pony to live in my closet.

461
00:21:52,900 --> 00:21:56,000
A grand piano.

462
00:21:56,133 --> 00:21:58,433
A ride with Snowball?"

463
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:00,734
Who, who's Snowball?

464
00:22:00,867 --> 00:22:03,734
You know, the horse that
pulls your Christmas carriage.

465
00:22:03,867 --> 00:22:05,166
The elves love it.

466
00:22:06,533 --> 00:22:08,800
Why would you put something
like that in a story?

467
00:22:08,934 --> 00:22:11,667
I don't know, it sounded
good when I made it up.

468
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,266
And the list goes on,
"Make a snowman come to life.

469
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:22,834
(sighing) Kiss a
reindeer." Ah-huh.

470
00:22:22,967 --> 00:22:26,900
"First prize at the
most Christmassy house."

471
00:22:27,033 --> 00:22:28,166
What?

472
00:22:28,300 --> 00:22:31,633
Our block has this
thing, the Williams,

473
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:33,633
they have won 20 years in a row,

474
00:22:33,767 --> 00:22:36,667
so that, that one might
be a little tricky.

475
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,500
Oh, okay and top it all
off with, "Tea at La Maison."

476
00:22:41,633 --> 00:22:43,500
That last one
shouldn't be too hard.

477
00:22:43,633 --> 00:22:45,800
If you're the President
or an A-list celebrity.

478
00:22:45,934 --> 00:22:47,667
No reason to be hyperbolic.

479
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,000
No one gets a
reservation there.

480
00:22:49,133 --> 00:22:51,166
Like they say in my group,

481
00:22:51,300 --> 00:22:53,667
let's just focus on
one thing at a time.

482
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,333
Which practically
speaking means what?

483
00:22:56,467 --> 00:22:58,734
If you're gonna play the
role of the Christmas Prince,

484
00:22:58,867 --> 00:23:02,233
you have got to lose the
pocket protector vibe.

485
00:23:02,367 --> 00:23:03,734
I like my pocket protector,

486
00:23:03,867 --> 00:23:04,967
it keeps pen marks off my shirt.

487
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,367
Well, the Christmas
Prince doesn't wear one.

488
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,133
How would you
know? He is not real.

489
00:23:08,266 --> 00:23:09,734
Well, he is now
and you're him.

490
00:23:09,867 --> 00:23:11,467
Meaning what exactly?

491
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,400
(soft melodic music)

492
00:23:13,533 --> 00:23:16,233
(Shelby sighing)

493
00:23:17,667 --> 00:23:20,133
Sorry, I might be a little
late picking up Grace.

494
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:21,967
Oh, that's okay.

495
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,633
(background people chattering)
(background melodic music)

496
00:23:24,767 --> 00:23:26,066
Absolutely not.

497
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,467
Hold on, Nicole.

498
00:23:28,700 --> 00:23:30,133
Why not?

499
00:23:30,266 --> 00:23:31,567
Um, I don't know, maybe
because I'm not accustomed

500
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:33,233
to wearing jingle bells.

501
00:23:33,367 --> 00:23:35,133
(Shelby laughing)

502
00:23:35,266 --> 00:23:37,333
I'm sorry, I
actually was kidding.

503
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,367
Here, try this.

504
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,967
(background people chattering)
(background melodic music)

505
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:46,734
(Shelby exhaling heavily)

506
00:23:46,867 --> 00:23:50,233
So how's My Fair
Scrooge's makeover coming?

507
00:23:50,367 --> 00:23:52,066
About as bad as
you might expect.

508
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,400
Oh, I wish I could
be a fly on the wall.

509
00:23:54,533 --> 00:23:55,900
Why of all people
in the universe

510
00:23:56,033 --> 00:23:58,133
did Grace choose
Evan for this job?

511
00:23:58,266 --> 00:24:00,633
Hey, maybe he is
the Christmas Prince.

512
00:24:00,767 --> 00:24:02,367
I mean, what are the chances

513
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,533
he would have a reindeer
kiss on his wrist?

514
00:24:04,667 --> 00:24:06,033
It's a birthmark, Nicole

515
00:24:06,166 --> 00:24:08,233
and I am too
stressed for sarcasm.

516
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:12,100
(soft melodic music)

517
00:24:12,233 --> 00:24:13,233
I gotta go.

518
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:19,867
(Shelby clearing throat)

519
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,767
That'll be fine.

520
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:24,467
Now all we have to do is
make sure that Grace's list

521
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,967
is a little more manageable.

522
00:24:31,433 --> 00:24:33,367
(background people chattering)

523
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:36,934
Wow, very Prince
Harry-ish, Ev,

524
00:24:37,066 --> 00:24:39,467
I didn't know you had it in you.

525
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,967
This sweater was $200.

526
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:43,033
So?

527
00:24:43,166 --> 00:24:45,133
Who pays $200 for a sweater?

528
00:24:45,266 --> 00:24:47,100
It's obviously cashmere and
you can more than afford it.

529
00:24:47,233 --> 00:24:48,800
Well, that doesn't
change the fact,

530
00:24:48,934 --> 00:24:51,200
that it is completely impractical.

531
00:24:51,333 --> 00:24:53,367
Look at this, it's
dry cleaning only,

532
00:24:53,500 --> 00:24:55,200
who buys something
that you can't wash?

533
00:24:55,333 --> 00:24:58,033
Everyone in the universe
except you obviously.

534
00:24:58,166 --> 00:24:59,467
Just roll with it.

535
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,367
I don't see how, this
entire charade is ridiculous

536
00:25:03,500 --> 00:25:07,200
on many levels, least of
which it is very unlikely,

537
00:25:07,333 --> 00:25:08,433
that I can convince a child,

538
00:25:08,567 --> 00:25:10,367
that I am anything
other than what I am.

539
00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:12,867
I for one, think it
will be good for you.

540
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,333
Why?

541
00:25:14,467 --> 00:25:16,867
It'll help you get in
touch with your inner child.

542
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,100
I never had an inner
child to begin with.

543
00:25:20,233 --> 00:25:22,533
True, you were the only
kid I'd ever heard of,

544
00:25:22,667 --> 00:25:25,000
who hated recess.
- Never saw the point of it.

545
00:25:25,133 --> 00:25:27,533
It's called fun, I
highly recommend it.

546
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:30,033
Yeah, well, that's
easy for you to say

547
00:25:30,166 --> 00:25:33,967
and you've always been
comfortable around everyone.

548
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:36,767
I'm not hardwired like that.

549
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:40,033
You just need a little
loosening up, that's all

550
00:25:40,166 --> 00:25:42,500
and you're gonna rock it.

551
00:25:42,633 --> 00:25:45,100
(background people chattering)

552
00:25:45,233 --> 00:25:46,834
(Shelby sighing)

553
00:25:46,967 --> 00:25:49,533
You're in good hands.
- Meaning what exactly?

554
00:25:49,667 --> 00:25:53,200
I don't know, just that
Shelby is not only brilliant

555
00:25:53,333 --> 00:25:55,700
and accomplished, but
she's also very pretty.

556
00:25:57,066 --> 00:25:57,867
I never noticed.

557
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,367
Well, maybe you should.

558
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:03,767
Okay, I'm going back to work.

559
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:05,166
(soft melodic music)

560
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:06,633
Bye.

561
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:19,934
Frosty, thanks, Mommy.

562
00:26:20,066 --> 00:26:21,767
You're very welcome.

563
00:26:21,900 --> 00:26:24,500
I still have one wish
left to figure out,

564
00:26:24,633 --> 00:26:28,433
I can't decide between a
sleepover or 100 more wishes.

565
00:26:28,567 --> 00:26:30,767
A sleepover sounds
much more fun.

566
00:26:31,633 --> 00:26:35,500
Yeah, I guess you're right,

567
00:26:35,633 --> 00:26:39,100
sleepover.

568
00:26:39,233 --> 00:26:43,000
You know, maybe we
should make your wishes

569
00:26:43,133 --> 00:26:44,233
a little less ambitious?

570
00:26:44,367 --> 00:26:45,767
What does that mean?

571
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,934
Well, remember how we talked

572
00:26:48,066 --> 00:26:49,667
about asking Santa for things?

573
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,000
Yeah.

574
00:26:51,133 --> 00:26:52,734
What did we say?

575
00:26:52,867 --> 00:26:55,600
That it's not polite to
ask for too many big things,

576
00:26:55,734 --> 00:26:58,266
'cause Santa has lots
of presents to give out.

577
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,166
That's right and it's
exactly the same thing

578
00:27:02,300 --> 00:27:05,900
with the Christmas
Prince and wishes.

579
00:27:06,033 --> 00:27:08,567
But doesn't the Christmas
Prince only have one person

580
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,500
to give wishes for?
(soft melodic music)

581
00:27:11,633 --> 00:27:12,667
Yes.

582
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,166
So then we have
nothing to worry about.

583
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:19,066
That is true, but you wouldn't
want the Christmas Prince

584
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,667
to think you're
greedy, you know?

585
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,800
Hm, okay, then I'll
cross off the pony,

586
00:27:26,934 --> 00:27:28,467
then I'll get the
Christmas Prince to help

587
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,133
with your group's Toy
Drive for needy children

588
00:27:31,266 --> 00:27:32,834
and then I'll keep
the rest of the wishes

589
00:27:32,967 --> 00:27:34,734
just the way they are.

590
00:27:34,867 --> 00:27:37,934
(soft melodic music)

591
00:27:40,633 --> 00:27:42,967
I thought you said you were
going to manage the wishes.

592
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,734
At least we don't have
to come up with a pony.

593
00:27:45,867 --> 00:27:47,734
Don't try and
spin this positive.

594
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:49,834
You didn't let me finish.

595
00:27:49,967 --> 00:27:51,900
I talked Grace out
of kissing a reindeer

596
00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:55,233
and making a snowman come
alive, that would've been tough.

597
00:27:57,100 --> 00:28:00,300
I still have to come
up with 12 wishes.

598
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:04,066
No, I convinced her that
you were super slammed

599
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,900
with royal business
during the week,

600
00:28:06,033 --> 00:28:09,567
so instead of 12 wishes,
you only have eight.

601
00:28:09,700 --> 00:28:11,867
Where did that
number come from?

602
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,867
Well, you're doing royal stuff

603
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,300
during Monday through Friday,

604
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:20,066
which just leaves us three
weekends until Christmas,

605
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,400
add two wishes per weekend.

606
00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:25,066
It's been a
relatively long time,

607
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,300
since I solved a word problem,

608
00:28:26,433 --> 00:28:28,333
but I'm pretty sure
that's six wishes.

609
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:31,066
I threw in a couple
for good behavior,

610
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,300
she's been brushing her
teeth for two minutes now.

611
00:28:33,433 --> 00:28:34,700
And that buys two wishes?

612
00:28:34,834 --> 00:28:36,066
Two minutes of teeth brushing

613
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,734
is a really big deal
for a seven year old.

614
00:28:38,867 --> 00:28:41,633
Why am I attempting to
speak in logical terms?

615
00:28:41,767 --> 00:28:44,700
I mean, this whole
thing is insanity.

616
00:28:44,834 --> 00:28:49,200
Anyways, your first wish
is really, really easy.

617
00:28:49,333 --> 00:28:53,133
You can, you know, kind of
work your way into the role.

618
00:28:53,266 --> 00:28:55,900
Okay, well, what's
my first wish?

619
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,266
A Christmas-themed sleepover
with Grace's friends.

620
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,200
You want me to sleep
over with children?

621
00:29:04,333 --> 00:29:05,467
No, no.

622
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:06,633
Okay.

623
00:29:06,767 --> 00:29:08,300
You're just meeting
them, you know.

624
00:29:08,433 --> 00:29:09,700
[Evan] Okay.

625
00:29:09,834 --> 00:29:13,433
So that Grace can introduce
you and show everyone

626
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:16,967
what a kind,

627
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:20,533
generous and fun Prince you are.

628
00:29:23,834 --> 00:29:27,867
Okay, when is this Christmas
sleepover supposed to happen?

629
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,200
- Tonight.
- What?

630
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:31,367
It'll be over in no time.
(Evan gasping)

631
00:29:31,500 --> 00:29:34,200
Oh, my gosh, oh, my
gosh, are you okay?

632
00:29:34,333 --> 00:29:36,133
Calm down, calm down.

633
00:29:36,266 --> 00:29:39,033
Okay, look, just
introduce yourself,

634
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:42,400
maybe answer a quick question
or two and you'll be done.

635
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,967
Easy peasy.

636
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:50,033
Huh.

637
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:54,633
(soft Christmas music)

638
00:29:56,667 --> 00:30:01,633
(kids shrieking excitedly)

639
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:04,233
I did tell you I wasn't
good with children, didn't I?

640
00:30:04,367 --> 00:30:06,567
I think you might
have mentioned that.

641
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:07,900
- Yeah, I can't do this.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes,

642
00:30:08,033 --> 00:30:11,567
yes, you can, you can,
I am here to help.

643
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:12,800
How?

644
00:30:12,934 --> 00:30:14,734
I, well, I'm not
exactly sure, but-

645
00:30:14,867 --> 00:30:16,967
No, no, no, no, no,
that's it, I can't do this,

646
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:18,467
I really can't do this, okay,

647
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,800
I am the last person in
the world that can do this.

648
00:30:19,934 --> 00:30:21,567
Don't you think I know that?

649
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:24,367
Good, okay, then tell Grace
that I got sick for the year

650
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,033
or-or something.
- No, no.

651
00:30:26,166 --> 00:30:27,700
You are the Christmas Prince,

652
00:30:27,834 --> 00:30:30,400
this is a wish and you
do not have a choice.

653
00:30:30,533 --> 00:30:33,867
I have a choice, okay and
I'm choosing not to do this.

654
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,800
Yes, you are, my daughter
has had a hard life

655
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:37,567
and I am not gonna let
her down just because you-

656
00:30:37,700 --> 00:30:39,033
- Oh, my goodness!
- Oh!

657
00:30:39,166 --> 00:30:40,467
Did she see me?

658
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,300
Yep, she's, she's
coming out here.

659
00:30:42,433 --> 00:30:44,033
Get down, smile.
- No.

660
00:30:44,166 --> 00:30:46,000
Come on, stop it.

661
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,367
Smile like a good Prince.

662
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:51,300
I have no idea what a
good Prince smiles like.

663
00:30:51,433 --> 00:30:53,166
Christmas Prince you came!

664
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,567
My friends can't
wait to meet you.

665
00:30:57,700 --> 00:30:58,667
Wonderful.

666
00:31:01,767 --> 00:31:04,800
(tense melodic music)

667
00:31:07,834 --> 00:31:10,633
How did you get to
be Santa's best friend?

668
00:31:10,767 --> 00:31:13,300
Well, that is a, a
very good question.

669
00:31:13,433 --> 00:31:14,934
What do elves like to eat?

670
00:31:15,066 --> 00:31:17,767
You-you mean the-the little
people with the-the pointy-

671
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:20,300
Why don't you have
a Christmas Princess?

672
00:31:20,433 --> 00:31:22,934
(kids giggling)

673
00:31:23,066 --> 00:31:26,433
Okay, girls, let's not
ask the Christmas Prince

674
00:31:26,567 --> 00:31:28,867
all of our questions at once.

675
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600
I know, tell us a story.

676
00:31:31,734 --> 00:31:32,834
A-a story?

677
00:31:32,967 --> 00:31:34,967
The Christmas Prince
is the best storyteller

678
00:31:35,100 --> 00:31:36,567
of the whole North Pole.

679
00:31:37,767 --> 00:31:41,200
A-actually, the-the
North Pole's population

680
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:44,367
is-is pretty low,
so I'm not really-

681
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,867
Tell us the one about
you and the elves,

682
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,767
I love that story, it's really
funny, but then it gets sad

683
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:52,967
and there's a surprise
twist at the end

684
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:54,400
and you'll never guess.

685
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:57,300
(soft melodic music)

686
00:31:57,433 --> 00:32:01,200
You know, Christmas
Prince, once upon a time.

687
00:32:01,333 --> 00:32:03,967
Right, yes, once upon a time.

688
00:32:05,467 --> 00:32:07,000
A week before Christmas.

689
00:32:07,133 --> 00:32:09,100
Yes.

690
00:32:09,233 --> 00:32:11,600
The elves were running behind

691
00:32:11,734 --> 00:32:13,200
on their toy making, because-

692
00:32:13,333 --> 00:32:16,200
Mommy, let the
Christmas Prince tell it.

693
00:32:16,333 --> 00:32:20,266
(clears throat) Okay,
um, once upon a time,

694
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,700
a-a week before Christmas,
the elves were off schedule

695
00:32:24,834 --> 00:32:28,533
with their, ah,
toy manufacturing.

696
00:32:28,667 --> 00:32:30,367
Tell them why.

697
00:32:31,633 --> 00:32:35,433
Because there was a, ah,

698
00:32:35,567 --> 00:32:37,367
reindeer plague.

699
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:40,533
(soft melodic music)

700
00:32:43,166 --> 00:32:46,767
Then Santa Claus, he um,

701
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:51,867
passed the legislation with
a protracted court battle

702
00:32:52,633 --> 00:32:58,367
and Godzilla moved out.

703
00:32:58,500 --> 00:33:00,667
The end. (laughs awkwardly)

704
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,867
(soft melodic music)

705
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:09,433
That was the single most
humiliating thing of my life.

706
00:33:09,567 --> 00:33:11,600
It was worse watching it.

707
00:33:11,734 --> 00:33:13,600
You're welcome very much.

708
00:33:13,734 --> 00:33:18,266
I'm sorry, but Godzilla
living at the North Pole?

709
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,233
It was the only
story I can remember.

710
00:33:20,367 --> 00:33:21,567
This isn't gonna work.

711
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:23,166
That is exactly what I
was trying to tell you.

712
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:24,767
Well, what am I
gonna tell Grace?

713
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:26,500
Anything that
doesn't involve me.

714
00:33:26,633 --> 00:33:28,734
Christmas Prince,
Christmas Prince,

715
00:33:28,867 --> 00:33:31,100
I didn't get to say goodbye,
my friends love you,

716
00:33:31,233 --> 00:33:33,200
they think you're really funny.

717
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,734
Oh, um,

718
00:33:35,867 --> 00:33:38,433
w-well, good, I-I suppose.

719
00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,333
I made you this.

720
00:33:41,467 --> 00:33:44,767
(soft orchestral music)

721
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:49,333
Is this me and-and you?

722
00:33:49,467 --> 00:33:50,533
Ah-huh, I made you fairy hands

723
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:57,333
and see, I made your eyes
brown just like mine.

724
00:33:57,467 --> 00:33:58,767
But we're-we're holding hands.

725
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:02,166
Do you like it?

726
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,767
I do very much.

727
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:09,967
Good, because I've decided
to change one of my wishes,

728
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:13,000
I want you guys to go
on a real life date.

729
00:34:13,133 --> 00:34:16,166
(soft melodic music)

730
00:34:18,867 --> 00:34:20,567
Are you kidding me right now?

731
00:34:20,700 --> 00:34:22,400
You're going on a
date with Mr. Spock?

732
00:34:22,533 --> 00:34:23,433
It's not funny.

733
00:34:24,967 --> 00:34:27,567
I'm nominating you for Best
Mother of the Year Award.

734
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:28,800
(Shelby laughing)

735
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:31,233
This is, this is
beyond the pale.

736
00:34:31,367 --> 00:34:34,000
I knew I can count on
you to make me feel worse.

737
00:34:34,133 --> 00:34:37,500
Can you video it? I wanna
put it on my Insta Story.

738
00:34:37,633 --> 00:34:39,066
It's not funny!

739
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,266
Okay, okay.

740
00:34:42,367 --> 00:34:47,400
(Shelby sighing heavily)

741
00:34:47,533 --> 00:34:49,066
But it kind of is.

742
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,000
(both laughing)
- Stop.

743
00:34:52,133 --> 00:34:54,567
If it's that bad, can't
you just talk her out of it?

744
00:34:54,700 --> 00:34:58,633
No, not now, he's
the Christmas Prince

745
00:34:58,767 --> 00:35:01,033
and he has chosen her.

746
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:02,200
Meaning?

747
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,567
The Christmas
Prince is a huge deal,

748
00:35:04,700 --> 00:35:08,066
to her, the Christmas Prince
is the biggest A-list celebrity

749
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,567
of all times and if
we were up to Grace,

750
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:13,567
she would want me to marry
the Christmas Prince.

751
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:21,467
(soft melodic music)
(background people chattering)

752
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:22,467
Let's not even go there.

753
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:23,567
Good idea.

754
00:35:28,533 --> 00:35:32,834
(melodic piano music)
(background people chattering)

755
00:35:41,867 --> 00:35:43,400
So.

756
00:35:43,533 --> 00:35:46,567
I guess,

757
00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:49,467
I see you have carrots.

758
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,400
Yep, I have carrots.

759
00:35:54,533 --> 00:35:57,300
Do you eat carrots often?

760
00:35:57,433 --> 00:36:03,767
(melodic piano music)
(background people chattering)

761
00:36:03,900 --> 00:36:06,633
So have you always wanted
to be a rocket scientist?

762
00:36:06,767 --> 00:36:09,266
Ah, (clears throat) yes,

763
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,467
as a young boy, my father
used to spin stories

764
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,433
about the stars
and constellations

765
00:36:14,567 --> 00:36:17,033
and I've been
fascinated ever since.

766
00:36:17,166 --> 00:36:18,500
You?

767
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,700
I guess I always wanted
to answer questions

768
00:36:21,834 --> 00:36:25,867
about the universe that people
have asked for centuries.

769
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,300
Not many people get
to do stuff like that.

770
00:36:29,567 --> 00:36:31,800
I absolutely agree.

771
00:36:31,934 --> 00:36:35,400
I feel very lucky to have a
profession that I love so much,

772
00:36:36,734 --> 00:36:42,633
even if the managing
portion is challenging.

773
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:49,800
Really, why is that, if
you don't mind me asking?

774
00:36:49,934 --> 00:36:54,633
Well, it's a bit
difficult to connect,

775
00:36:54,767 --> 00:36:57,066
when your moniker is Dr. Spock.

776
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:02,433
It's not unwarranted,
rubbing elbows with employees

777
00:37:02,567 --> 00:37:04,533
never really interested me.

778
00:37:04,667 --> 00:37:06,767
So you just don't care?

779
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:08,200
No, I didn't say that.

780
00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:11,200
It's just that some
people aren't comfortable

781
00:37:11,333 --> 00:37:14,533
being, I don't know,
social butterflies.

782
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:17,867
Okay, fine,

783
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,266
but you really could try.

784
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,533
How?

785
00:37:22,667 --> 00:37:26,200
Engage, do something
for your employees,

786
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:30,934
ask about their lives, tell
them you appreciate them.

787
00:37:31,066 --> 00:37:32,867
Just don't hide in
your office 24/7.

788
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,967
Okay, I get it, yeah, thanks.

789
00:37:37,734 --> 00:37:39,934
Well, (sighing)

790
00:37:40,066 --> 00:37:41,367
this is-
- Excruciating.

791
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:43,433
I was gonna say interesting,
but I mean, you know,

792
00:37:43,567 --> 00:37:45,433
I'm just trying to
make the best of it.

793
00:37:45,567 --> 00:37:47,033
(Evan sighing)

794
00:37:47,166 --> 00:37:51,300
Can we just pretend that we
went on a date and just leave?

795
00:37:53,066 --> 00:37:55,433
If we say we are going on a
date, we are going on a date,

796
00:37:55,567 --> 00:37:56,867
I don't lie to my daughter.

797
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,700
This entire thing is a lie.

798
00:37:59,834 --> 00:38:02,233
Not really, it's a Santa lie.

799
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:04,100
- What's that?
- When you make something up

800
00:38:04,233 --> 00:38:07,166
to make your kid's
life more magical.

801
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:08,400
If I was a parent,

802
00:38:08,533 --> 00:38:10,500
I wouldn't fill my kid's
head with fantasies.

803
00:38:10,633 --> 00:38:12,433
That is exactly
what your father did,

804
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:13,667
you wouldn't be who you are,

805
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,100
if he didn't fill your
head with fantasies.

806
00:38:15,233 --> 00:38:17,433
Well, that may be,

807
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:20,567
but this entire ruse
with Grace is excessive.

808
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:23,600
I really don't understand why
you keep on going so far with-

809
00:38:23,734 --> 00:38:25,533
(sighing) If you
really wanna know,

810
00:38:26,567 --> 00:38:28,600
Grace has had a very hard life.

811
00:38:28,734 --> 00:38:31,266
Okay, you keep saying that,
but how hard could it be?

812
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,500
She's eight.
- Her father died,

813
00:38:32,633 --> 00:38:34,166
when she was five.

814
00:38:35,467 --> 00:38:39,166
That was kind of hard, okay.

815
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:41,500
Ah,

816
00:38:41,633 --> 00:38:44,000
I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't know.

817
00:38:44,133 --> 00:38:48,333
Why would you, you only
authorized my bereavement leave?

818
00:38:48,467 --> 00:38:51,433
(soft melodic music)

819
00:38:51,567 --> 00:38:52,400
I don't remember that.

820
00:38:52,533 --> 00:38:54,700
You didn't even ask who died.

821
00:38:56,133 --> 00:38:59,333
(soft melodic music)

822
00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:01,400
Maybe we should go.

823
00:39:01,533 --> 00:39:02,867
Of course.

824
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:08,834
Excuse me, I'll take
the check please.

825
00:39:16,934 --> 00:39:20,533
(sighing) It was bad.

826
00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:22,633
It hurts my teeth
just thinking about it.

827
00:39:22,767 --> 00:39:24,467
And we have four wishes left.

828
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,734
Well, what's next?

829
00:39:25,867 --> 00:39:27,967
We're driving to La
Maison this afternoon

830
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,734
to beg the maitre d' for a
table for their Christmas Tea.

831
00:39:31,867 --> 00:39:35,066
Are you kidding? That place
is impossible to get into.

832
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,333
I mean, good luck with that.

833
00:39:38,433 --> 00:39:40,734
(Shelby sighing)

834
00:39:40,867 --> 00:39:44,734
(background people chattering)

835
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:48,133
- Let me talk to him.
- No, let me,

836
00:39:48,266 --> 00:39:50,800
An old colleague of
mine has connections,

837
00:39:50,934 --> 00:39:52,900
he's already spoken
with the maitre d'.

838
00:39:53,033 --> 00:39:55,233
Fine, but I'm better with
people and I can handle-

839
00:39:55,367 --> 00:39:56,233
May I help you?

840
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,233
[Both] Yes.

841
00:40:00,367 --> 00:40:02,033
Ah, Eric Grunewald
told you I'd be coming,

842
00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:04,133
my name is Evan McCormick.
- About a reservation

843
00:40:04,266 --> 00:40:06,467
for our Christmas Tea
tomorrow, I believe?

844
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,734
Yes, about 4:30 works
very nicely for us.

845
00:40:08,867 --> 00:40:11,467
I'm sorry, sir, but
we're completely booked.

846
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,967
There must be something
that you can do.

847
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:17,066
I'm afraid not, as I said,
sir, we're completely booked.

848
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,467
Yes, you've already
said that, but-

849
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,000
Would you like to see
tomorrow's seating chart?

850
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,567
Yes, that is an
excellent idea.

851
00:40:25,700 --> 00:40:29,200
(background people chattering)
(background piano music)

852
00:40:29,333 --> 00:40:32,400
I have a solution, simply
move this table of five here

853
00:40:32,533 --> 00:40:36,233
and these tables of two and
three to these corners here

854
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:39,400
and that will open up plenty
of room for a table of two,

855
00:40:39,533 --> 00:40:40,633
we'll take that.

856
00:40:40,767 --> 00:40:42,467
Sir, at the risk
of being redundant.

857
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,633
What was your name?

858
00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:46,066
George.

859
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,066
George, do you
think you can give us

860
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,633
one itsy bitsy second?

861
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:58,400
Just let me handle this.

862
00:40:58,533 --> 00:40:59,967
I don't know what
you can possibly do,

863
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:01,467
that man is clearly unreasonable.

864
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,934
Just let me handle this.

865
00:41:03,066 --> 00:41:04,533
Okay, but if you
just listen to what-

866
00:41:04,667 --> 00:41:06,567
Just, just, just don't talk.

867
00:41:07,834 --> 00:41:11,700
Okay.

868
00:41:11,834 --> 00:41:14,467
George, would it be
possible for you and I

869
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,934
to have a quick moment?

870
00:41:17,066 --> 00:41:18,467
It'll be super duper fast.

871
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,633
If you can assure me that
it will be super duper fast,

872
00:41:21,767 --> 00:41:23,066
I'm about to take my lunch.

873
00:41:26,834 --> 00:41:30,533
(George sobbing)
(Shelby speaking quietly)

874
00:41:30,667 --> 00:41:35,633
(melodic piano music)
(background people chattering)

875
00:41:40,166 --> 00:41:46,600
(melodic piano music)
(background people chattering)

876
00:41:46,734 --> 00:41:48,934
Promise me you'll have
your Aunt Alma call,

877
00:41:49,066 --> 00:41:50,166
you have my number.

878
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:52,300
I do and don't forget
about New Year's Eve,

879
00:41:52,433 --> 00:41:54,867
my house, eight,
heavy hors d'oeuvres.

880
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,033
Please, won't you
let me bring something?

881
00:41:57,166 --> 00:41:59,700
No, no, just yourself.

882
00:41:59,834 --> 00:42:02,533
(both laughing)

883
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,433
Hello, sir, we look
forward to seeing you

884
00:42:07,567 --> 00:42:09,033
tomorrow at our Christmas Tea,

885
00:42:09,166 --> 00:42:12,200
I'll be sure to give
Grace our best table.

886
00:42:12,333 --> 00:42:14,033
Shall we get back to work now?

887
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,433
(melodic piano music)
(background people chattering)

888
00:42:18,567 --> 00:42:20,500
[Evan] What did you do to him?

889
00:42:20,633 --> 00:42:23,867
I was just asking him
questions, that's all.

890
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,600
You got an impossible
to get reservation

891
00:42:26,734 --> 00:42:28,100
by just asking questions?

892
00:42:28,233 --> 00:42:29,867
It's not about
getting something,

893
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,533
it's about getting to
know someone, you know?

894
00:42:32,667 --> 00:42:34,100
Actually, I don't know.

895
00:42:34,233 --> 00:42:36,200
It's simple,
once someone feels

896
00:42:36,333 --> 00:42:37,667
like you're really listening,

897
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,700
they'll usually show
you their chewy center,

898
00:42:40,834 --> 00:42:43,533
no matter how hard the
shelling, once you get that.

899
00:42:45,667 --> 00:42:47,834
Chewy center?

900
00:42:47,967 --> 00:42:55,200
(soft melodic music)

901
00:42:55,333 --> 00:42:57,166
Which one?

902
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:58,600
Hm, you know what?

903
00:42:58,734 --> 00:43:00,834
You should actually
wear your gray suit.

904
00:43:00,967 --> 00:43:02,433
All right

905
00:43:02,567 --> 00:43:04,066
and a tie?

906
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,333
I only own three, I'm, I'm
not sure what they go with.

907
00:43:06,467 --> 00:43:08,734
Evan, it's tea with
a seven year old.

908
00:43:08,867 --> 00:43:10,734
And-and what kind
of questions do I ask?

909
00:43:10,867 --> 00:43:12,233
It's not an interview, Ev,

910
00:43:12,367 --> 00:43:15,200
just, you know,
be in the moment.

911
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,000
Okay, but-but like
what if I'm trying

912
00:43:18,133 --> 00:43:21,166
to get where she's
coming from, you know?

913
00:43:21,300 --> 00:43:24,000
Wow, you're really
starting to care

914
00:43:24,133 --> 00:43:25,934
about this little
girl, aren't you?

915
00:43:26,066 --> 00:43:29,100
No, no, I-I didn't say that.

916
00:43:30,567 --> 00:43:34,266
It's just that her and her mom
have had a, a difficult time

917
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,934
and I feel compelled to
make them feel better,

918
00:43:38,066 --> 00:43:40,367
although I'm not quite sure how.

919
00:43:41,734 --> 00:43:44,266
You've got a huge heart, Ev,

920
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,166
why don't you just try
and let them see that?

921
00:43:47,300 --> 00:43:49,433
I think the rest
will work itself out.

922
00:43:51,734 --> 00:43:58,433
(soft melodic music)

923
00:43:58,567 --> 00:44:01,967
(car door clicking)

924
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:03,834
(gasps) That's
him, that's him,

925
00:44:03,967 --> 00:44:05,500
that's the Christmas Prince!

926
00:44:05,633 --> 00:44:07,333
Hi.

927
00:44:07,467 --> 00:44:09,900
Um, you look fancy.

928
00:44:10,033 --> 00:44:13,333
Thank you, so do you,
only you look handsome.

929
00:44:15,867 --> 00:44:17,400
Are-are you ready for tea?

930
00:44:17,533 --> 00:44:18,667
Ah-huh.

931
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,333
Now remember, this
is a very nice tea,

932
00:44:21,467 --> 00:44:23,300
so be sure to use
your best manners.

933
00:44:23,433 --> 00:44:25,333
Don't worry, Mommy, I will.

934
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:31,333
I've never had a real grown
up tea before, have you?

935
00:44:31,467 --> 00:44:33,567
Actually, I haven't.

936
00:44:33,700 --> 00:44:35,800
(soft orchestral music)

937
00:44:35,934 --> 00:44:37,834
I'll be right here, honey.

938
00:44:37,967 --> 00:44:39,066
Okay, Mommy.

939
00:44:41,533 --> 00:44:51,500
(soft Christmas music)
(background people chattering)

940
00:44:52,133 --> 00:44:55,567
The Christmas music is
so pretty, isn't it?

941
00:44:55,700 --> 00:44:57,000
It is lovely.

942
00:44:57,133 --> 00:44:59,667
I've been wanting to
learn how to play a piano

943
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:00,800
for years and years.

944
00:45:00,934 --> 00:45:02,133
Have you?

945
00:45:02,266 --> 00:45:03,800
Ah-huh, I want
to take lessons,

946
00:45:03,934 --> 00:45:06,800
so I can learn how to play
Christmas songs just like this.

947
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:12,734
Daddy used to like
Christmas songs a lot.

948
00:45:12,867 --> 00:45:16,900
Good afternoon, miss,
may I present our tea?

949
00:45:17,033 --> 00:45:19,567
We have a selection of
Christmas-inspired scones

950
00:45:19,700 --> 00:45:21,066
and pastries and of course,

951
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,400
our world famous
finger sandwiches.

952
00:45:24,867 --> 00:45:26,400
Thank you very much, sir.

953
00:45:26,533 --> 00:45:28,633
You are quite welcome, miss

954
00:45:28,767 --> 00:45:31,066
and please say hello
to your mother for me.

955
00:45:35,700 --> 00:45:37,567
He's nice, isn't he?

956
00:45:37,700 --> 00:45:38,867
Very.

957
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,967
I have a question.

958
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:42,467
All right.

959
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,033
What do you do when
you're not granting wishes

960
00:45:44,166 --> 00:45:45,400
or visiting Santa?

961
00:45:46,934 --> 00:45:49,233
Well, I do enjoy
looking up at the stars.

962
00:45:49,367 --> 00:45:50,800
So does Mommy.

963
00:45:50,934 --> 00:45:54,467
I bet the stars are super
bright at the North Pole.

964
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,233
Yes, I-I suppose they are.

965
00:45:56,367 --> 00:45:58,467
Mommy says they're
filled with stories,

966
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,633
could you tell me one?

967
00:45:59,767 --> 00:46:03,967
I, um, I'm not
sure I know a story.

968
00:46:04,100 --> 00:46:05,367
Oh.

969
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:07,700
(soft Christmas music)
(background people chattering)

970
00:46:07,834 --> 00:46:10,800
(family laughing)

971
00:46:10,934 --> 00:46:14,467
Although have you heard
the one about Pegasus?

972
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,100
What's a Pegasus?

973
00:46:16,233 --> 00:46:17,600
A flying horse.

974
00:46:17,734 --> 00:46:18,700
Cool.

975
00:46:18,834 --> 00:46:20,867
The Pegasus
belonged to Poseidon,

976
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,967
God of the sea,
earthquakes and storms

977
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:26,600
and one day, on one of
his special missions,

978
00:46:26,734 --> 00:46:28,300
Poseidon was in trouble,

979
00:46:28,433 --> 00:46:30,467
so he whistled and
he called for Pegasus

980
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,033
and he came flying out of
the ocean, he saved him.

981
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:41,133
Shall we?

982
00:46:41,266 --> 00:46:47,533
Suddenly, this whole
thing just feels weird.

983
00:46:47,667 --> 00:46:49,033
I don't get it, he's
fulfilling all the wishes,

984
00:46:49,166 --> 00:46:50,967
that's what you wanted, right?

985
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:53,867
I know, but the whole
reason I don't date

986
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,700
is so that Grace
doesn't have to deal

987
00:46:55,834 --> 00:46:57,367
with another man in her life.

988
00:46:57,500 --> 00:47:02,533
Okay, but she's the one
going for tea, not you, so.

989
00:47:03,734 --> 00:47:05,533
So you should just see
the way she lights up,

990
00:47:05,667 --> 00:47:07,367
when she's around Evan.

991
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:09,200
What are you afraid of?

992
00:47:10,633 --> 00:47:14,834
What if Grace gets her
heart broken a second time?

993
00:47:14,967 --> 00:47:17,166
Then I guess you'll just
have to pick up the pieces

994
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:18,600
all over again.

995
00:47:18,734 --> 00:47:22,033
(soft orchestral music)

996
00:47:28,633 --> 00:47:30,166
One more question.

997
00:47:30,300 --> 00:47:31,567
(background people chattering)

998
00:47:31,700 --> 00:47:32,567
All right.

999
00:47:32,700 --> 00:47:34,767
Why don't you have a Princess?

1000
00:47:36,266 --> 00:47:42,333
Well, it's not always easy
to find a Princess sometimes.

1001
00:47:42,467 --> 00:47:45,900
I think it's hard for my
mom to find somebody too.

1002
00:47:46,033 --> 00:47:47,567
Why is that?

1003
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:50,467
Well, Mommy doesn't even
date and she promised me,

1004
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,166
that she'd never
get married again.

1005
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:54,667
I see.

1006
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,300
But I never even asked her

1007
00:47:56,433 --> 00:47:58,633
to make the promise
in the first place.

1008
00:47:58,767 --> 00:48:01,567
Everyone needs someone
to love them the best,

1009
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:04,900
don't you think?

1010
00:48:05,033 --> 00:48:07,400
You are a very smart
young lady, Grace.

1011
00:48:07,533 --> 00:48:08,900
Thanks.

1012
00:48:09,033 --> 00:48:11,900
There's Mommy, hi, Mommy!
(Shelby laughing)

1013
00:48:12,033 --> 00:48:14,200
Hi, love bug,
did you have fun?

1014
00:48:14,333 --> 00:48:16,533
I had the best time ever.

1015
00:48:16,667 --> 00:48:20,900
Yes, I believe we did
have the best time ever.

1016
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,900
That's great.

1017
00:48:25,033 --> 00:48:26,800
Did you say thank you?

1018
00:48:26,934 --> 00:48:30,300
Thank you, you're the
best Christmas Prince ever.

1019
00:48:32,433 --> 00:48:33,367
Thanks.

1020
00:48:33,500 --> 00:48:34,667
My pleasure.

1021
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:39,066
Come on.

1022
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,500
(soft orchestral music)

1023
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:45,800
[Lorenzo] I mean,
it sounds like the tea

1024
00:48:45,934 --> 00:48:47,066
was a big success.

1025
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,567
It was all Grace would
talk about this morning

1026
00:48:50,767 --> 00:48:52,400
and about Evan.

1027
00:48:52,533 --> 00:48:53,900
Stop talking.

1028
00:48:54,033 --> 00:48:56,367
I know and when
he brought her back,

1029
00:48:56,500 --> 00:48:58,867
I, I can't describe it,

1030
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,100
but he actually was

1031
00:49:02,233 --> 00:49:04,200
sort of charming.

1032
00:49:04,333 --> 00:49:05,467
What?

1033
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:08,033
I know, this,
this whole thing is,

1034
00:49:08,166 --> 00:49:10,133
it's-it's a little unnerving.

1035
00:49:10,266 --> 00:49:11,867
Yeah, no kidding.

1036
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:16,467
Do you think he could
actually be good for Grace?

1037
00:49:17,667 --> 00:49:23,367
I mean, even Spock was
half human. (laughing)

1038
00:49:23,500 --> 00:49:25,367
(background people chattering)

1039
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:26,300
Hang on.

1040
00:49:27,567 --> 00:49:30,033
Look, these numbers
can't be right.

1041
00:49:30,166 --> 00:49:32,800
Looks like the
satellite is drifting.

1042
00:49:32,934 --> 00:49:35,100
Let's get Evan in here.

1043
00:49:35,233 --> 00:49:38,533
(soft orchestral music)

1044
00:49:40,834 --> 00:49:43,633
So you're saying we still
have a chance to correct it?

1045
00:49:43,767 --> 00:49:45,700
We think so, but
we're gonna need to run

1046
00:49:45,834 --> 00:49:46,967
a couple of simulations.

1047
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:48,533
And we need to do it now.

1048
00:49:48,667 --> 00:49:50,967
It's gonna be a long night.

1049
00:49:51,100 --> 00:49:52,867
I gotta make a call.

1050
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,800
You have tickets to
that midnight showing

1051
00:49:54,934 --> 00:49:56,800
of "It's a Wonderful
Life," don't you?

1052
00:49:59,166 --> 00:50:04,600
I-I mean, yeah, but I mean,
this is really important.

1053
00:50:04,734 --> 00:50:08,200
No, we could handle
it, can't we, Shelby?

1054
00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:10,867
Ah, sure.

1055
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,367
Good, it's settled then.

1056
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,767
Okay, thank you.

1057
00:50:17,900 --> 00:50:21,200
(soft orchestral music)

1058
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,533
Now,
(keyboard tapping)

1059
00:50:29,667 --> 00:50:31,200
now that should be,

1060
00:50:34,333 --> 00:50:36,633
(keyboard tapping)
it.

1061
00:50:36,767 --> 00:50:38,800
Now all we have to do
is run the simulator,

1062
00:50:38,934 --> 00:50:40,567
it should take an hour or two.

1063
00:50:46,233 --> 00:50:49,700
I think I'm gonna grab a coffee

1064
00:50:49,834 --> 00:50:51,567
and head to the roof.

1065
00:50:52,834 --> 00:50:57,633
Do you wanna join me?

1066
00:50:57,767 --> 00:50:59,133
Sure.

1067
00:50:59,266 --> 00:51:02,633
(soft orchestral music)

1068
00:51:09,967 --> 00:51:13,033
Shelby,

1069
00:51:13,166 --> 00:51:17,433
what's it like being
a, a single mom?

1070
00:51:17,567 --> 00:51:19,867
It can be a little
tricky sometimes,

1071
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:23,100
being both Mom and Dad.

1072
00:51:23,233 --> 00:51:26,700
Does it ever get lonely?

1073
00:51:26,834 --> 00:51:27,633
Sometimes,

1074
00:51:29,734 --> 00:51:32,767
but I have Grace and my group.

1075
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:35,266
Your-your group?

1076
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,800
Yeah, it takes a village.

1077
00:51:39,066 --> 00:51:40,934
It's a parent support
group I formed

1078
00:51:41,066 --> 00:51:43,100
after my husband passed.

1079
00:51:43,233 --> 00:51:44,934
You formed a support group?

1080
00:51:46,734 --> 00:51:50,700
Well, my family was
halfway across the country

1081
00:51:50,834 --> 00:51:52,700
and I didn't wanna quit here,

1082
00:51:52,834 --> 00:51:56,433
'cause I have worked
hard on that mission.

1083
00:51:56,567 --> 00:52:00,100
I looked around, but I
just couldn't find anything

1084
00:52:00,233 --> 00:52:02,667
for single parents, so.

1085
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,433
So you created
your own solution?

1086
00:52:07,066 --> 00:52:10,734
I guess so.

1087
00:52:10,867 --> 00:52:12,100
Shelby?

1088
00:52:12,233 --> 00:52:13,433
Yes?

1089
00:52:13,567 --> 00:52:15,100
I don't believe
I ever told you,

1090
00:52:15,233 --> 00:52:19,266
but I think you are an
extraordinary engineer

1091
00:52:20,700 --> 00:52:25,166
and I really do appreciate
all your hard work.

1092
00:52:25,300 --> 00:52:28,500
Like tonight, for example,

1093
00:52:28,633 --> 00:52:30,567
you're amazing.

1094
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:35,166
(soft orchestral music)

1095
00:52:35,300 --> 00:52:39,500
It's my job.

1096
00:52:39,633 --> 00:52:44,333
Besides, you're the one
going the extra mile for me

1097
00:52:44,467 --> 00:52:48,400
with this whole Christmas
Prince thing, so.

1098
00:52:48,533 --> 00:52:51,600
Well, you did
blackmail me, so.

1099
00:52:51,734 --> 00:52:53,433
Did you just make a joke?

1100
00:52:53,567 --> 00:52:55,166
How'd I do? (laughing)

1101
00:52:55,300 --> 00:52:57,700
(laughing) It was clever.

1102
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:05,000
(soft orchestral music)

1103
00:53:05,133 --> 00:53:07,567
(keyboard clicking)

1104
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:08,500
Hey.

1105
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,500
It looks like the torque
rods and the thrusters

1106
00:53:13,633 --> 00:53:15,667
are gonna be our solution.

1107
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,900
Perfect, that,
that's great news.

1108
00:53:19,033 --> 00:53:21,734
I can make the adjustments
from here on out,

1109
00:53:21,867 --> 00:53:23,166
no need to stay.

1110
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:27,133
Okay, I'll see you
tomorrow afternoon then

1111
00:53:27,266 --> 00:53:30,800
and-and please don't hurry
in, you should get some rest.

1112
00:53:30,934 --> 00:53:34,066
Thanks, Evan, you too.

1113
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:35,000
I'll be fine.

1114
00:53:36,967 --> 00:53:43,900
I guess I'll leave
you to it then.

1115
00:53:44,033 --> 00:53:48,233
Hey, Shelby, something's
been bothering me.

1116
00:53:48,367 --> 00:53:51,166
I was wrong not to say
anything about your husband

1117
00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:53,734
and although it's belated,
I want you to know,

1118
00:53:53,867 --> 00:53:56,433
that I'm truly
sorry for your loss.

1119
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,233
Thanks, Evan,

1120
00:54:01,367 --> 00:54:03,066
I appreciate that.

1121
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,500
(soft orchestral music)

1122
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,867
Something's wrong.

1123
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,367
Everything was fine before I
left, why didn't you call me?

1124
00:54:21,500 --> 00:54:23,433
It's not the satellite,
you're never gonna believe it.

1125
00:54:23,567 --> 00:54:24,900
Come on.

1126
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,934
(background people chattering)

1127
00:54:31,066 --> 00:54:33,934
I think it's some sort
of Christmas party.

1128
00:54:34,066 --> 00:54:36,767
Was this Evan's idea?

1129
00:54:36,900 --> 00:54:38,367
Yep.

1130
00:54:39,734 --> 00:54:42,700
Oh!

1131
00:54:42,834 --> 00:54:46,200
Are we all about to get fired?

1132
00:54:46,333 --> 00:54:48,700
No.

1133
00:54:48,834 --> 00:54:53,200
I think he's trying.

1134
00:54:53,333 --> 00:54:54,667
Cookie?

1135
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,100
(soft orchestral music)

1136
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:04,934
It's a reindeer, I
decorated it myself.

1137
00:55:05,066 --> 00:55:08,600
Have a snowman instead.

1138
00:55:08,734 --> 00:55:11,166
You made a Christmas party?

1139
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:14,266
I hadn't thought of
it exactly that way,

1140
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,200
but I'm glad you think so.

1141
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:19,233
They're good.

1142
00:55:19,367 --> 00:55:20,834
Oh and speaking of Christmas,

1143
00:55:20,967 --> 00:55:22,767
I have to make an announcement.

1144
00:55:22,900 --> 00:55:24,767
Can I have everyone's
attention please?

1145
00:55:27,734 --> 00:55:32,767
As Shelby here pointed
out on a previous date,

1146
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:36,166
many of you have family
obligations during this season

1147
00:55:36,300 --> 00:55:39,433
and well, in keeping
with that idea,

1148
00:55:39,567 --> 00:55:42,500
just this morning, I
spoke with two young,

1149
00:55:42,633 --> 00:55:44,600
excellent candidates
out of Cape Canaveral,

1150
00:55:44,734 --> 00:55:46,433
they're gonna join the team

1151
00:55:46,567 --> 00:55:48,900
and help us with
the solar array,

1152
00:55:49,033 --> 00:55:51,000
which in turn will
allow us to push through

1153
00:55:51,133 --> 00:55:53,934
the next phase in
a timely manner.

1154
00:55:54,066 --> 00:55:56,266
Working on Christmas
and Christmas Eve

1155
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,166
will no longer be necessary.

1156
00:55:58,300 --> 00:56:02,333
(background people chattering)
- Wow!

1157
00:56:02,467 --> 00:56:04,433
So I hope that helps

1158
00:56:05,467 --> 00:56:08,000
and Merry Christmas.

1159
00:56:08,133 --> 00:56:10,667
(soft orchestral music)
(background people chattering)

1160
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,567
This is great news.

1161
00:56:12,700 --> 00:56:14,233
Really good news.

1162
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,233
So what's next on
Grace's wish list?

1163
00:56:19,367 --> 00:56:22,633
Well, the piano
wish is still left,

1164
00:56:22,767 --> 00:56:24,900
which is a little
rough, I checked,

1165
00:56:25,033 --> 00:56:28,900
grand pianos start
at around 20 grand.

1166
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,333
I think I have an idea,
can I bring it over tonight?

1167
00:56:34,467 --> 00:56:35,667
Yeah.

1168
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,000
Okay.

1169
00:56:37,133 --> 00:56:38,000
But how are you gonna, oh!
(phone ringing)

1170
00:56:38,133 --> 00:56:39,834
- Oh, sorry, can you?
- Oh!

1171
00:56:39,967 --> 00:56:40,767
Thank you.

1172
00:56:42,266 --> 00:56:47,500
I just gotta take this in
my office, just one minute.

1173
00:56:47,633 --> 00:56:49,734
Hi, Scott, can you
hold just one moment?

1174
00:56:49,867 --> 00:56:51,734
(door clicking)

1175
00:56:51,867 --> 00:56:54,467
(door thudding)

1176
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,834
Hey, sorry, Scott,
please go ahead.

1177
00:56:57,967 --> 00:57:00,200
Evan, listen, I
wanted to talk to you

1178
00:57:00,333 --> 00:57:02,133
before you heard it
from someone else.

1179
00:57:02,266 --> 00:57:03,633
Heard what?

1180
00:57:03,767 --> 00:57:07,367
The situation's a little
more advanced than I hoped.

1181
00:57:07,500 --> 00:57:09,400
I'm afraid you're under review.

1182
00:57:10,433 --> 00:57:12,133
I am?
(soft melodic music)

1183
00:57:12,266 --> 00:57:14,233
Does that mean
I'm getting fired?

1184
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,300
I really don't know,

1185
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:18,834
we're just gonna
have to wait and see.

1186
00:57:20,266 --> 00:57:25,533
Okay, well, thank you
for letting me know, Scott.

1187
00:57:25,667 --> 00:57:30,500
(soft melodic music)

1188
00:57:34,533 --> 00:57:39,233
(sighing) My tongue is
getting kind of dry and yucky.

1189
00:57:39,367 --> 00:57:43,300
Addressing Christmas cards
is not for the faint of heart.

1190
00:57:43,433 --> 00:57:45,734
(both laughing)

1191
00:57:45,867 --> 00:57:47,066
(doorbell ringing)
(Shelby gasping)

1192
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,233
Who's that?

1193
00:57:48,367 --> 00:57:49,900
Let's go see.

1194
00:57:50,033 --> 00:57:53,967
(soft orchestral music)
(both laughing)

1195
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:56,033
(door clicking)

1196
00:57:56,166 --> 00:57:57,400
Hi, Christmas Prince.

1197
00:57:57,533 --> 00:57:58,633
Hello, Grace.

1198
00:57:58,767 --> 00:58:00,300
What's under your coat?

1199
00:58:00,433 --> 00:58:02,033
One of your wishes.

1200
00:58:02,166 --> 00:58:03,400
Really, what is it?

1201
00:58:04,767 --> 00:58:08,867
Your piano.

1202
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,300
That's a piano?

1203
00:58:12,433 --> 00:58:15,467
It is a piano, but
it's not just any piano.

1204
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,300
You wanna hear the story?

1205
00:58:19,667 --> 00:58:22,367
The elves made this?

1206
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:25,200
They did many, many years ago

1207
00:58:25,333 --> 00:58:29,700
and like all of Santa's
toys, it was very special.

1208
00:58:29,834 --> 00:58:31,200
It was?

1209
00:58:31,333 --> 00:58:34,133
Yes, see, this piano was
meant to bring great joy

1210
00:58:34,266 --> 00:58:36,700
to whoever was lucky
enough to play it,

1211
00:58:36,834 --> 00:58:40,200
but year by year,
nobody wanted it.

1212
00:58:40,333 --> 00:58:41,700
Why not?

1213
00:58:41,834 --> 00:58:45,033
Well, some children
thought it was too small,

1214
00:58:45,166 --> 00:58:48,200
some wanted a grand piano

1215
00:58:48,333 --> 00:58:51,367
and some wanted a piano
made only of wood.

1216
00:58:51,500 --> 00:58:53,633
So each year, this
piano got passed by

1217
00:58:53,767 --> 00:58:56,066
and it became more and more sad.

1218
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:57,200
It did?

1219
00:58:58,333 --> 00:59:00,100
Yes, because
more than anything,

1220
00:59:00,233 --> 00:59:03,200
it just wanted to be
played and enjoyed

1221
00:59:03,333 --> 00:59:06,967
and to bring whoever was
lucky enough to play it great?

1222
00:59:08,166 --> 00:59:09,433
Joy?

1223
00:59:09,567 --> 00:59:14,467
That's right, but it needed
a special, little girl,

1224
00:59:15,667 --> 00:59:19,767
a girl with a big,
generous heart,

1225
00:59:19,900 --> 00:59:22,333
the kind of girl that
cared about others,

1226
00:59:22,467 --> 00:59:25,533
who gave up her own wishes
to help other people

1227
00:59:25,667 --> 00:59:28,934
in things like toy drives.

1228
00:59:29,066 --> 00:59:31,033
It was waiting for me?
(Shelby laughing)

1229
00:59:31,166 --> 00:59:33,700
Yeah, that's exactly right,

1230
00:59:33,834 --> 00:59:37,033
it waited all those
years just for you

1231
00:59:37,166 --> 00:59:40,433
and when you play it,
you both can enjoy it

1232
00:59:40,567 --> 00:59:43,100
the way it was always
meant to be enjoyed.

1233
00:59:43,233 --> 00:59:44,600
Ready?

1234
00:59:44,734 --> 00:59:45,867
Okay.

1235
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,700
(soft melodic music)

1236
00:59:49,834 --> 00:59:52,867
(gentle piano music)

1237
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,533
It's beautiful.

1238
01:00:01,667 --> 01:00:07,934
(soft orchestral music)

1239
01:00:08,066 --> 01:00:10,200
Is she finally asleep?

1240
01:00:10,333 --> 01:00:12,600
I thought she was
gonna be up all night

1241
01:00:12,734 --> 01:00:14,700
on that magical
elf piano of yours.

1242
01:00:14,834 --> 01:00:18,367
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to ruin her bedtime.

1243
01:00:18,500 --> 01:00:19,600
It is a school night.

1244
01:00:21,066 --> 01:00:25,367
I don't know how
to say thank you.

1245
01:00:25,500 --> 01:00:29,934
You've been wonderful.

1246
01:00:30,066 --> 01:00:33,000
She's wonderful
and I understand now

1247
01:00:33,133 --> 01:00:35,100
why you would do
anything for her.

1248
01:00:39,900 --> 01:00:48,867
If you don't mind me asking,
what was your husband like?

1249
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,200
Well,
(gentle orchestral music)

1250
01:00:51,333 --> 01:00:54,600
he was larger than life for one.

1251
01:00:56,734 --> 01:00:59,500
He was a big guy

1252
01:00:59,633 --> 01:01:04,166
with a big laugh

1253
01:01:04,300 --> 01:01:07,934
and even bigger personality.

1254
01:01:08,066 --> 01:01:10,834
But the one thing I
loved most about him

1255
01:01:10,967 --> 01:01:13,867
was that he was so solid

1256
01:01:15,633 --> 01:01:18,567
and dependable.

1257
01:01:18,700 --> 01:01:22,266
I guess that's why
it hurt so badly.

1258
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,400
What do you mean?

1259
01:01:25,533 --> 01:01:27,834
It just never occurred
to me he'd leave.

1260
01:01:27,967 --> 01:01:29,433
He left you?

1261
01:01:29,567 --> 01:01:34,266
Not intentionally, I, I know
this doesn't make any sense.

1262
01:01:35,467 --> 01:01:39,600
He was sick, it wasn't
his fault and it just,

1263
01:01:39,734 --> 01:01:43,767
I couldn't help feeling like,

1264
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:48,066
I don't know, like...

1265
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,000
He just abandoned us.

1266
01:01:51,133 --> 01:01:54,166
(gentle orchestral music)

1267
01:01:54,300 --> 01:01:58,266
Anyway, I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to like get heavy

1268
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:00,467
all of a sudden.
- No, no, no, no,

1269
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,500
I'm glad you feel
like you can tell me.

1270
01:02:10,233 --> 01:02:13,000
(Santa knocking)

1271
01:02:15,533 --> 01:02:17,000
(door clicking)

1272
01:02:17,133 --> 01:02:20,433
What kept you guys? You're late.

1273
01:02:20,567 --> 01:02:21,567
Santa!

1274
01:02:21,700 --> 01:02:23,066
Ho ho ho!

1275
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,433
I hear you'd like to watch
a Christmas movie together?

1276
01:02:25,567 --> 01:02:29,567
Yeah, I've got
popcorn, come on, hurry.

1277
01:02:29,700 --> 01:02:30,934
(Grace laughing)

1278
01:02:31,066 --> 01:02:32,233
(Shelby laughing)

1279
01:02:32,367 --> 01:02:35,667
(door clicking)
Wow, my own gingerbread house!

1280
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,166
(cheerful Christmas music)

1281
01:02:38,300 --> 01:02:40,934
(phone ringing)

1282
01:02:46,633 --> 01:02:50,000
(Shelby laughing)

1283
01:02:50,133 --> 01:02:53,734
(melodic Christmas music)

1284
01:02:53,867 --> 01:02:56,500
I still can't believe the
whole Christmas Prince thing

1285
01:02:56,633 --> 01:02:57,767
is almost over.

1286
01:02:57,900 --> 01:02:59,834
And that he's
doing a good job.

1287
01:02:59,967 --> 01:03:03,000
That really is the
most amazing part.

1288
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,233
It's almost too good to be true.

1289
01:03:06,367 --> 01:03:07,734
So what's left?

1290
01:03:07,867 --> 01:03:10,500
This Toy Drive, of course
and the Christmas Dance.

1291
01:03:10,633 --> 01:03:12,033
I still think it's so cute,

1292
01:03:12,166 --> 01:03:14,300
that Grace is using one of
her wishes for the Toy Drive.

1293
01:03:14,433 --> 01:03:16,633
She's got a heart
of gold, that one.

1294
01:03:16,767 --> 01:03:18,734
Exactly why I can't
stand to break it,

1295
01:03:21,133 --> 01:03:24,000
especially if we end up moving.

1296
01:03:24,133 --> 01:03:26,734
Wait, what?

1297
01:03:26,867 --> 01:03:30,800
Skyrocket called
several times.

1298
01:03:30,934 --> 01:03:33,066
I finally called them back.

1299
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,400
And?

1300
01:03:34,533 --> 01:03:37,233
I got a job
interview for next week

1301
01:03:37,367 --> 01:03:41,667
and they already hinted that
the job is mine, if I want it.

1302
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,000
I thought you said that
job was impossible to get.

1303
01:03:45,133 --> 01:03:47,500
They lost one of
their key engineers.

1304
01:03:47,633 --> 01:03:49,667
Are you serious
about taking it?

1305
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:53,400
I should be, this is
a great opportunity,

1306
01:03:53,533 --> 01:03:56,667
but I'd have to
start right away,

1307
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,400
it was one of
their stipulations.

1308
01:03:59,533 --> 01:04:01,734
Well, right away as in when?

1309
01:04:01,867 --> 01:04:03,467
After the first of the year.

1310
01:04:04,934 --> 01:04:06,734
(soft melodic music)
- What are you gonna do?

1311
01:04:06,867 --> 01:04:11,300
I don't know, everything
is just, it's going so fast,

1312
01:04:11,433 --> 01:04:13,333
I don't know what to think.

1313
01:04:17,100 --> 01:04:18,700
(background kids playing)

1314
01:04:18,834 --> 01:04:21,900
[Grace] The Christmas
Prince is coming to the Dance,

1315
01:04:22,033 --> 01:04:23,300
I know he is.

1316
01:04:23,433 --> 01:04:24,567
- What are you gonna wear?
- I don't know,

1317
01:04:24,700 --> 01:04:26,467
probably something
really pretty.

1318
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:27,633
Same.

1319
01:04:27,767 --> 01:04:28,900
Hi, Grace.

1320
01:04:29,033 --> 01:04:30,533
Hey, Jessie.
- Hi, Sherman.

1321
01:04:30,667 --> 01:04:33,400
The Christmas Dance is
this weekend, you know.

1322
01:04:33,533 --> 01:04:34,300
I know.

1323
01:04:34,433 --> 01:04:35,800
Too bad you guys can't go.

1324
01:04:35,934 --> 01:04:37,367
Yes, we can.

1325
01:04:37,500 --> 01:04:40,133
No, you can't, you guys don't
have any family to go with,

1326
01:04:40,266 --> 01:04:42,200
just moms.
- You don't know anything,

1327
01:04:42,333 --> 01:04:44,467
I'm going with my
mom and my uncle.

1328
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,734
But you don't have an uncle.

1329
01:04:46,867 --> 01:04:50,133
I don't need one, I
have the Christmas Prince.

1330
01:04:50,266 --> 01:04:54,033
He's like family and he's
coming to the Christmas Dance.

1331
01:04:54,166 --> 01:04:56,533
He's a made up Prince,
who's not even gonna come,

1332
01:04:56,667 --> 01:04:58,467
not even if he was real.

1333
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:03,033
Is everything okay?

1334
01:05:03,166 --> 01:05:05,266
I was just kidding
around with Grace.

1335
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:06,800
No, you weren't.

1336
01:05:06,934 --> 01:05:09,533
That's what he always says
when he knows he's wrong,

1337
01:05:09,667 --> 01:05:12,066
even though he really
meant it to begin with.

1338
01:05:13,433 --> 01:05:15,967
Tell your mom I said
hi and thank her again

1339
01:05:16,100 --> 01:05:17,967
for contributing
to the Toy Drive.

1340
01:05:18,100 --> 01:05:20,800
Yeah, the Christmas Prince
is probably waiting for us

1341
01:05:20,934 --> 01:05:23,467
right now to give out
toys because he's nice

1342
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:26,033
and that's what real Princes do.

1343
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,967
See you later, buddy.

1344
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:32,867
[Shelby] Grace, what
has been going on?

1345
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,700
(cheerful Christmas music)
- Merry Christmas.

1346
01:05:35,834 --> 01:05:37,934
This is a really good one.

1347
01:05:38,066 --> 01:05:39,800
I wrapped it, so I know.
- Thank you.

1348
01:05:39,934 --> 01:05:44,900
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

1349
01:05:46,667 --> 01:05:48,934
Everything okay?

1350
01:05:49,066 --> 01:05:51,200
Yeah, why?

1351
01:05:51,333 --> 01:05:56,200
You just seem a
little preoccupied.

1352
01:05:56,333 --> 01:05:57,567
No, I'm good.

1353
01:05:58,500 --> 01:06:00,700
Okay.

1354
01:06:00,834 --> 01:06:02,033
(soft melodic music)
(background people chattering)

1355
01:06:02,166 --> 01:06:03,467
Merry Christmas.

1356
01:06:08,133 --> 01:06:12,500
Four kisses and
last kiss, muah!

1357
01:06:12,633 --> 01:06:14,333
Did you have a good day?

1358
01:06:14,467 --> 01:06:15,467
Super good.

1359
01:06:16,333 --> 01:06:18,533
It's been fun, hasn't it?

1360
01:06:18,667 --> 01:06:19,934
It's not over yet, Mommy,

1361
01:06:20,066 --> 01:06:22,367
we still have the
Christmas Dance.

1362
01:06:22,500 --> 01:06:26,533
Out of all the wishes,
that's the one I want most.

1363
01:06:26,667 --> 01:06:27,867
- Really?
- Yep.

1364
01:06:28,834 --> 01:06:30,700
You're still coming, right?

1365
01:06:30,834 --> 01:06:32,633
I wouldn't miss
it for the world.

1366
01:06:34,734 --> 01:06:39,834
Good, goodnight, Christmas
Prince, I love you.

1367
01:06:39,967 --> 01:06:42,200
I love you too, little one.

1368
01:06:42,333 --> 01:06:45,600
(gentle melodic music)

1369
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,100
(sighing) It's a
beautiful night, isn't it?

1370
01:06:57,233 --> 01:06:58,600
(cicadas chirping)

1371
01:06:58,734 --> 01:07:00,266
Very beautiful.

1372
01:07:03,066 --> 01:07:04,667
You know, I used
to love stories

1373
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:06,266
about the constellation too.

1374
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:07,934
What's your favorite?

1375
01:07:08,066 --> 01:07:10,834
Andromeda. (laughing)

1376
01:07:10,967 --> 01:07:12,834
It's so-
- Romantic.

1377
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:15,767
Yeah.

1378
01:07:15,900 --> 01:07:18,333
It's my favorite too.

1379
01:07:18,467 --> 01:07:20,834
You know, if you would've
told me that a month ago,

1380
01:07:20,967 --> 01:07:22,734
I wouldn't believe you.
- But now?

1381
01:07:22,867 --> 01:07:23,567
I do.

1382
01:07:23,700 --> 01:07:26,266
(both laughing)

1383
01:07:28,567 --> 01:07:31,166
Our satellite is
out there somewhere.

1384
01:07:31,300 --> 01:07:32,367
[Evan] Yes, it is.

1385
01:07:34,633 --> 01:07:40,100
Sometimes I think I would
like to be up there too,

1386
01:07:40,233 --> 01:07:43,433
just floating.

1387
01:07:43,567 --> 01:07:46,600
I used to think
the same thing.

1388
01:07:46,734 --> 01:07:49,066
Used to?

1389
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:56,000
Lately, I'd rather be down
here on earth right where I am.

1390
01:07:56,133 --> 01:07:58,100
Yeah,

1391
01:07:58,233 --> 01:08:00,633
I guess I would too.

1392
01:08:00,767 --> 01:08:03,066
(soft melodic music)

1393
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,500
I want you to know

1394
01:08:05,633 --> 01:08:07,934
this has been the best
Christmas I've ever had

1395
01:08:08,867 --> 01:08:10,667
and I have you to thank for it.

1396
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,834
I should be the
one thanking you.

1397
01:08:23,133 --> 01:08:26,166
I really had fun today.

1398
01:08:26,300 --> 01:08:27,967
Me too.

1399
01:08:28,100 --> 01:08:30,734
Goodnight, Shelby.

1400
01:08:30,867 --> 01:08:34,900
Night, Evan.

1401
01:08:35,033 --> 01:08:41,133
(door clicking)

1402
01:08:41,266 --> 01:08:42,967
(door thudding)

1403
01:08:43,100 --> 01:08:46,400
(soft orchestral music)

1404
01:08:52,967 --> 01:08:54,734
I really wanna say thank you

1405
01:08:54,867 --> 01:08:58,500
for considering me for
the position at Skyrocket,

1406
01:09:00,367 --> 01:09:02,967
but after a lot of thought,

1407
01:09:03,100 --> 01:09:07,200
I've decided to stay

1408
01:09:07,333 --> 01:09:08,467
at my current position.

1409
01:09:14,834 --> 01:09:18,133
Hey, Merry Christmas.

1410
01:09:18,266 --> 01:09:21,300
Oh, thank you, Lorenzo,
you didn't have to do that.

1411
01:09:21,433 --> 01:09:23,734
Oh, it wasn't me.

1412
01:09:23,867 --> 01:09:26,867
There you go, Merry Christmas.

1413
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:27,800
Wow!

1414
01:09:27,934 --> 01:09:29,333
I know, right?

1415
01:09:30,367 --> 01:09:32,233
Personalized and everything,

1416
01:09:32,367 --> 01:09:35,066
I didn't even know he
knew everyone's names.

1417
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,467
I mean, the gifts themselves
aren't personalized,

1418
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:38,867
everybody got the same thing.

1419
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:41,367
It's not exactly something
I had on my list,

1420
01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:42,967
practical, I'll give him that.

1421
01:09:44,533 --> 01:09:47,300
Hey, Brenda.

1422
01:09:47,433 --> 01:09:50,233
I'm sure it's exhausting
with the new baby,

1423
01:09:50,367 --> 01:09:51,567
but if you need more time off,

1424
01:09:51,700 --> 01:09:53,967
just let me know and
we'll work it out.

1425
01:09:55,033 --> 01:09:56,467
(phone ringing)
Oh, sorry.

1426
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:59,734
Let me get this,
Merry Christmas.

1427
01:09:59,867 --> 01:10:01,633
(door clicking)

1428
01:10:01,767 --> 01:10:02,900
Oh, I don't understand.

1429
01:10:03,033 --> 01:10:04,133
(door thudding)

1430
01:10:04,266 --> 01:10:05,700
Why does the Board
wanna meet with me?

1431
01:10:05,834 --> 01:10:09,967
To be honest, I think it
might be not very good news.

1432
01:10:10,100 --> 01:10:11,567
Well, are they firing me?

1433
01:10:11,700 --> 01:10:14,233
I don't know, all I know is
they wanna see you right away

1434
01:10:14,367 --> 01:10:15,500
tomorrow at five p.m.

1435
01:10:16,700 --> 01:10:18,734
Tomorrow?

1436
01:10:18,867 --> 01:10:22,300
I have plans, a Christmas Dance,

1437
01:10:22,433 --> 01:10:23,800
it's very important actually.

1438
01:10:23,934 --> 01:10:26,300
This is not something
you can reschedule,

1439
01:10:26,433 --> 01:10:28,367
they're flying in from
all over the country,

1440
01:10:28,500 --> 01:10:30,467
whatever you have, you're
gonna have to cancel it.

1441
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:31,900
I've gotta go, talk soon.

1442
01:10:32,834 --> 01:10:41,867
(soft orchestral music)

1443
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,967
(soft orchestral music)

1444
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:51,800
(gasps) You're gonna look
just like a proper Princess.

1445
01:10:51,934 --> 01:10:53,800
You mean a Queen?

1446
01:10:53,934 --> 01:10:57,266
Oh, right, what
was I thinking?

1447
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,934
You know, this has been a
really, really good Christmas,

1448
01:11:01,066 --> 01:11:03,100
hasn't it, Mommy?

1449
01:11:03,233 --> 01:11:04,600
It has.

1450
01:11:04,734 --> 01:11:07,600
It feels like it did
when Daddy was still here,

1451
01:11:07,734 --> 01:11:09,533
don't you think?

1452
01:11:09,667 --> 01:11:10,433
I do.

1453
01:11:11,467 --> 01:11:14,033
What time is it?

1454
01:11:14,166 --> 01:11:16,367
It is a little past 9:30.

1455
01:11:16,500 --> 01:11:20,266
Do you think that's too
early to start getting ready?

1456
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:23,533
Maybe a little, the
Dance isn't until tonight.

1457
01:11:23,667 --> 01:11:24,834
(doorbell ringing)
(Grace gasping)

1458
01:11:24,967 --> 01:11:26,934
I bet that's the
Christmas Prince.

1459
01:11:27,066 --> 01:11:29,033
Maybe it's not too early, Mommy.

1460
01:11:29,166 --> 01:11:30,033
Let's go see.

1461
01:11:32,967 --> 01:11:35,700
Told you it's the
Christmas Prince.

1462
01:11:35,834 --> 01:11:36,767
(door clicking)

1463
01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:38,800
Mommy, I should get my dress on.

1464
01:11:40,667 --> 01:11:42,500
What's wrong?

1465
01:11:42,633 --> 01:11:44,133
I have some bad news.

1466
01:11:45,667 --> 01:11:48,367
Grace, honey, why don't
you go play in your room?

1467
01:11:48,500 --> 01:11:50,467
The Christmas Prince
and I need to talk.

1468
01:11:52,633 --> 01:11:54,033
Can't you reschedule?

1469
01:11:54,166 --> 01:11:57,033
I already asked, but the
entire Board is coming.

1470
01:11:57,166 --> 01:11:59,100
- Why, what's wrong?
- I don't know,

1471
01:11:59,233 --> 01:12:01,433
but it's important if
they're all flying in.

1472
01:12:01,567 --> 01:12:02,934
(Shelby sighing)

1473
01:12:03,066 --> 01:12:04,767
You sure you can't make it?

1474
01:12:04,900 --> 01:12:06,166
I really wish I could.

1475
01:12:09,700 --> 01:12:12,834
You really know how important
this is to her, right?

1476
01:12:12,967 --> 01:12:14,667
Oh, let me talk to
her, I could try to-

1477
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:15,600
No.

1478
01:12:16,633 --> 01:12:17,934
I'll do it.

1479
01:12:18,066 --> 01:12:19,166
Okay, Shelby.

1480
01:12:19,300 --> 01:12:20,900
She's not gonna
understand why.

1481
01:12:21,033 --> 01:12:22,400
The only thing she's
gonna understand

1482
01:12:22,533 --> 01:12:24,567
is that you're not there.

1483
01:12:24,700 --> 01:12:28,333
So you just go and you just
do what you have to do.

1484
01:12:28,467 --> 01:12:30,266
- Okay, Shelby, please.
- No, no, no, no.

1485
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,567
This is my fault,
you were right,

1486
01:12:32,700 --> 01:12:35,333
I should have never lied
to her in the first place.

1487
01:12:35,467 --> 01:12:38,100
I'll just handle it myself.

1488
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,900
[Evan] Okay, Shelby.

1489
01:12:42,033 --> 01:12:51,000
(soft melodic music)

1490
01:12:51,133 --> 01:12:55,000
Is the Christmas
Prince still here?

1491
01:12:55,133 --> 01:12:57,433
No, honey,

1492
01:12:57,567 --> 01:12:59,000
he left.

1493
01:12:59,133 --> 01:13:00,767
What did he want?

1494
01:13:02,033 --> 01:13:07,967
Gracie, (sighing) I
am really, really sorry,

1495
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:11,567
but the Christmas Prince can't
come to the Dance tonight.

1496
01:13:11,700 --> 01:13:14,333
But it was one of my wishes
and the Christmas Prince-

1497
01:13:14,467 --> 01:13:17,667
Maybe the Christmas
Prince isn't as magical

1498
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,500
as we thought he'd be.

1499
01:13:19,633 --> 01:13:20,734
- Yes, he is.
- Gracie.

1500
01:13:20,867 --> 01:13:23,166
No, you're just too
old to believe in magic,

1501
01:13:23,300 --> 01:13:25,967
but that doesn't mean
there's no such thing.

1502
01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:27,500
Grace.

1503
01:13:27,633 --> 01:13:31,567
It's okay, Mommy, you'll
see, he'll come to the Dance.

1504
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,834
He promised he would.

1505
01:13:34,967 --> 01:13:38,000
(soft melodic music)

1506
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:50,166
(soft orchestral music)

1507
01:13:50,433 --> 01:13:57,300
Honey, he'd be here
already if he was coming.

1508
01:13:57,433 --> 01:14:00,400
Look, we don't need
the Christmas Prince

1509
01:14:00,533 --> 01:14:02,166
to have fun at the Dance, do we?

1510
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,467
Oh, come on, we
don't wanna be late.

1511
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:12,633
I'll go get my purse
and we'll go, okay.

1512
01:14:12,767 --> 01:14:15,633
(sighing) Okay.

1513
01:14:15,767 --> 01:14:18,500
(Shelby sighing)

1514
01:14:22,867 --> 01:14:28,967
♪ Christmas is my
baby time with you ♪

1515
01:14:29,100 --> 01:14:31,800
♪ Christmas is my
baby time with you ♪

1516
01:14:31,934 --> 01:14:34,800
(background people chattering)

1517
01:14:34,934 --> 01:14:36,233
Hi.
(both laughing)

1518
01:14:36,367 --> 01:14:37,400
- Hi.
- Hi.

1519
01:14:37,533 --> 01:14:39,200
Hey, Grace, you look pretty.

1520
01:14:39,333 --> 01:14:40,467
Thanks, you too.

1521
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:41,900
I hope Sherman
doesn't show up.

1522
01:14:42,033 --> 01:14:44,367
I know, he's such a bully.

1523
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:46,700
- So where is he?
- Who?

1524
01:14:46,834 --> 01:14:48,800
You know, the
Christmas Prince.

1525
01:14:48,934 --> 01:14:51,000
He'll be here, just,

1526
01:14:51,934 --> 01:14:53,066
just not yet.

1527
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,367
What happened, did
his royal carriage

1528
01:14:55,500 --> 01:14:56,667
break down or something?

1529
01:14:57,934 --> 01:15:03,367
Grace, honey, let's go
get something to drink.

1530
01:15:03,500 --> 01:15:09,800
Grace!

1531
01:15:09,934 --> 01:15:15,300
(Grace sobbing)

1532
01:15:15,433 --> 01:15:18,200
I am so sorry, honey.

1533
01:15:18,333 --> 01:15:21,300
I wish I could just make
him be here for you.

1534
01:15:21,433 --> 01:15:23,967
I'm not sad about that, Mommy.

1535
01:15:24,100 --> 01:15:25,033
You're not?

1536
01:15:25,166 --> 01:15:28,300
Well then, why are you crying?

1537
01:15:28,433 --> 01:15:31,300
I feel like you
don't believe anymore.

1538
01:15:31,433 --> 01:15:32,800
Believe in what?

1539
01:15:32,934 --> 01:15:36,700
In him, the Christmas
Prince, don't you know that?

1540
01:15:36,834 --> 01:15:38,367
(sighing) Oh, Grace.

1541
01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:40,700
No, just because
he's late to the Dance

1542
01:15:40,834 --> 01:15:42,967
doesn't mean he's not
the Christmas Prince.

1543
01:15:43,934 --> 01:15:46,300
He's smart and he's handsome

1544
01:15:46,433 --> 01:15:49,900
and he's a really
good storyteller too

1545
01:15:51,266 --> 01:15:57,467
and he's very, very
kind, just like you said,

1546
01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:59,934
so that's how I know
he's the Christmas Prince

1547
01:16:00,133 --> 01:16:02,033
and you should know that too.

1548
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,367
How did you ever
get to be so smart?

1549
01:16:09,500 --> 01:16:12,800
(soft orchestral music)

1550
01:16:19,467 --> 01:16:22,367
Are you okay, Mommy?

1551
01:16:22,500 --> 01:16:26,533
I will be.

1552
01:16:26,667 --> 01:16:30,934
Muah!

1553
01:16:31,066 --> 01:16:35,867
♪ Jingle bells, jingle
bells, jingle all the way ♪

1554
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,200
Hi, can you watch Grace?

1555
01:16:37,333 --> 01:16:38,667
What's going on?

1556
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:41,333
- I need to do something.
- Sure.

1557
01:16:41,467 --> 01:16:42,266
Thanks.

1558
01:16:43,166 --> 01:16:46,767
(kids chattering excitedly)

1559
01:16:46,900 --> 01:16:47,700
Um.

1560
01:16:51,633 --> 01:16:53,000
(door clicking)l music)

1561
01:16:53,133 --> 01:16:55,100
[Board Member] Probably
the one we want to talk to.

1562
01:16:55,233 --> 01:16:56,500
You'll talk to her.

1563
01:16:56,633 --> 01:16:58,266
Evan, thanks for coming.

1564
01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,200
Take a seat.

1565
01:17:01,633 --> 01:17:03,333
Let me get right to it.

1566
01:17:03,467 --> 01:17:06,000
It's not often that
the Board gets together

1567
01:17:06,133 --> 01:17:09,166
to address a single
issue, namely you,

1568
01:17:09,300 --> 01:17:11,934
but in this case, we
felt it was necessary.

1569
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:14,834
John, why don't
you take the floor?

1570
01:17:14,967 --> 01:17:17,834
Thank you, Evan, I know
that Scott spoke to you

1571
01:17:17,967 --> 01:17:20,166
a few weeks ago about
your performance.

1572
01:17:20,300 --> 01:17:21,667
Ah, yes, he did.

1573
01:17:24,033 --> 01:17:25,667
Listen, if you're gonna fire me,

1574
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:26,900
please just let me
know right now, please.

1575
01:17:27,033 --> 01:17:29,333
Oh, oh, no, look,
we're not firing you,

1576
01:17:29,467 --> 01:17:31,834
we'd like to promote you.

1577
01:17:31,967 --> 01:17:32,767
Excuse me?

1578
01:17:34,467 --> 01:17:36,834
We're interested in exploring

1579
01:17:36,967 --> 01:17:39,000
the habitability
of Saturn's moons.

1580
01:17:39,133 --> 01:17:40,834
And we think
you're the right man

1581
01:17:40,967 --> 01:17:42,166
to head up the probe build.

1582
01:17:42,300 --> 01:17:44,633
I-I don't understand.

1583
01:17:44,767 --> 01:17:48,233
You told me my job
was on the line.

1584
01:17:48,367 --> 01:17:50,000
It was, not anymore.

1585
01:17:50,133 --> 01:17:53,000
We've received some
excellent feedback on you

1586
01:17:53,133 --> 01:17:55,000
in the past several weeks.
- And we were very impressed

1587
01:17:55,133 --> 01:17:57,567
with how you righted
the ship, Evan.

1588
01:17:57,700 --> 01:18:00,567
It takes a big man to realize
he needs to change his ways.

1589
01:18:00,700 --> 01:18:03,200
Oh, plus a little girl
and an amazing woman.

1590
01:18:03,333 --> 01:18:04,300
Excuse me?

1591
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:10,700
A long story, regardless, I
am flattered with your offer

1592
01:18:10,834 --> 01:18:13,633
and of course, I
would love to accept.

1593
01:18:13,767 --> 01:18:17,233
Good, well then, people,
let's get down to discussing

1594
01:18:17,367 --> 01:18:19,567
the details of rolling
out this project.

1595
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:22,400
Most of us have turnaround
flights in the morning.

1596
01:18:22,533 --> 01:18:24,633
I'm sorry, I-I can't.

1597
01:18:24,767 --> 01:18:25,834
What's that?

1598
01:18:26,700 --> 01:18:31,734
I-I can't stay.

1599
01:18:31,867 --> 01:18:33,066
That's funny.

1600
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,400
I always say that Evan
doesn't have a life,

1601
01:18:35,533 --> 01:18:39,233
it's kind of an inside joke
between us, but he can stay.

1602
01:18:39,367 --> 01:18:42,900
Actually, I didn't have
a life, but now I do.

1603
01:18:44,100 --> 01:18:46,400
I would love to discuss
the project further,

1604
01:18:46,533 --> 01:18:48,567
but tonight, I have
a royal appointment.

1605
01:18:50,934 --> 01:18:53,967
Don't ask.

1606
01:18:54,100 --> 01:18:55,367
Ah.
(cheerful Christmas music)

1607
01:18:55,500 --> 01:18:58,066
Three hot chocolates, please.

1608
01:18:59,333 --> 01:19:04,033
My mom's getting
us hot chocolate.

you to see me there ♪

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

1612
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:20,633
He'll come and your
mom will be right back.

1613
01:19:20,767 --> 01:19:22,033
[Evan] Shelby?

1614
01:19:22,166 --> 01:19:24,266
Hi, it's Shelby,

1615
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,433
I mean, I know you know that.

1616
01:19:26,567 --> 01:19:28,433
But anyway-

1617
01:19:28,567 --> 01:19:29,867
- Shelby.
- Wait, can you,

1618
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,800
can you just wait a second?

1619
01:19:31,934 --> 01:19:36,133
There's something I need to
say and it's really hard for me

1620
01:19:36,266 --> 01:19:38,967
and if you could
just not interrupt,

1621
01:19:39,100 --> 01:19:41,967
that would be,
well, really good.

1622
01:19:42,100 --> 01:19:44,367
[Evan] I'm sorry, go ahead.

1623
01:19:44,500 --> 01:19:45,567
The thing is,

1624
01:19:48,500 --> 01:19:53,533
I was afraid for so long,

1625
01:19:53,667 --> 01:19:56,200
that I tried to insulate
Grace and I from everything,

1626
01:19:56,333 --> 01:19:58,367
so neither of us could get hurt.

1627
01:19:58,500 --> 01:20:01,467
(gentle piano music)

1628
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,400
What I'm trying to say is,

1629
01:20:05,266 --> 01:20:08,800
is I don't wanna
do that anymore.

1630
01:20:08,934 --> 01:20:10,467
