(cellphone chimes)

6
00:00:57,813 --> 00:00:59,106
- Huh.

7
00:01:00,733 --> 00:01:03,360
Sis, this single is quite happy
not to mingle.

8
00:01:17,666 --> 00:01:19,335
Take 2 Heart.

00:01:20,419 --> 00:01:23,214
(■■)

10
00:01:34,016 --> 00:01:35,226
(cellphone vibrating)

(cellphone chimes)

12
00:01:39,647 --> 00:01:41,232
It's not until 9:30.

13
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:42,983
I'll be there with plenty of
time to spare.

14
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,235
(cellphone chimes)

15
00:01:45,736 --> 00:01:47,029
(sighs)

16
00:01:47,488 --> 00:01:48,614
I'll be there in five.

17
00:01:48,864 --> 00:01:50,950
(■■)

18
00:01:51,325 --> 00:01:52,409
(elevator chimes)

19
00:01:55,621 --> 00:01:57,957
Can you pass these out? The
names are on the tags.

20
00:02:02,211 --> 00:02:04,546
Ah. Hello, everyone.

21
00:02:05,047 --> 00:02:07,716
Ah, merry almost Christmas.

22
00:02:08,175 --> 00:02:10,010
I must've missed the 9:30

23
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,055
actually means 9:00 memo in the
chat group.

24
00:02:13,389 --> 00:02:15,266
- Uh, Nora,

25
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:18,811
we felt this board meeting was
of particular importance

26
00:02:19,478 --> 00:02:21,272
given the current state of the
company.

27
00:02:22,106 --> 00:02:24,900
- Well, that is quite cryptic,
Christine.

28
00:02:25,567 --> 00:02:28,445
I mean, our readership has
dipped a bit.

29
00:02:28,988 --> 00:02:32,241
- Oh, not a dip, a major drop.

30
00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:36,203
- Well, usually Christmas is our
biggest reader season

31
00:02:36,829 --> 00:02:38,122
and our biggest advertising
season.

32
00:02:38,831 --> 00:02:40,082
- Well, that may have been true
in the past,

33
00:02:40,791 --> 00:02:42,626
uh, but it has been brought to
our attention

34
00:02:43,460 --> 00:02:46,171
that Level Eleven has taken a
bite out of our audience.

35
00:02:46,839 --> 00:02:48,257
We are missing out on a key
demographic

36
00:02:49,049 --> 00:02:50,342
that our advertisers are very
interested in reaching,

37
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:52,886
people aged 18-39.

38
00:02:53,262 --> 00:02:56,390
- Ha! Oh. Um...

39
00:02:57,725 --> 00:03:00,311
- Max... - Nora...

40
00:03:01,228 --> 00:03:04,356
- I know that you feel you have
a certain stature on the board

41
00:03:05,107 --> 00:03:08,027
because of your recent move to
chairperson but--

42
00:03:08,485 --> 00:03:09,570
- My father handed over

43
00:03:10,237 --> 00:03:11,530
a multi-million dollar hedge
fund to me

44
00:03:12,323 --> 00:03:14,033
and I nearly doubled its value
in less than a year.

45
00:03:14,491 --> 00:03:15,617
It's that same hedge fund

46
00:03:16,285 --> 00:03:17,328
that allowed you to build this
company.

47
00:03:17,911 --> 00:03:20,331
People, the board, me.

48
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,375
I am thirsty for a Nora Winters
column.

49
00:03:24,084 --> 00:03:27,421
Now look, we have run all of the
online data

50
00:03:28,255 --> 00:03:30,799
and we have found a partner with
some stellar potential.

51
00:03:31,425 --> 00:03:32,843
One that's gonna help bring
readers

52
00:03:33,427 --> 00:03:34,928
into this new target
demographic.

53
00:03:35,554 --> 00:03:37,556
Have you ever heard of "Take 2
Heart"?

54
00:03:39,308 --> 00:03:41,518
Oh, Nora, get out from under
that rock.

55
00:03:42,144 --> 00:03:43,270
It's a revolutionary new dating
app

56
00:03:43,979 --> 00:03:44,897
that pushes people out of their
comfort zone

57
00:03:45,314 --> 00:03:46,315
and into situations

58
00:03:47,024 --> 00:03:48,025
they wouldn't normally find
themselves in,

59
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:49,526
to meet people the old-fashioned
way,

60
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:51,070
face to face.

61
00:03:53,113 --> 00:03:54,156
- What does this have to do with
Prism?

62
00:03:54,573 --> 00:03:55,783
- Oh well, you know,

63
00:03:56,533 --> 00:03:58,660
Christmas is the most romantic
time of the year.

64
00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:01,538
- Oh, it is. - What about
Valentine's Day?

65
00:04:02,206 --> 00:04:04,375
- It's too cliché. Christmas is
magical.

66
00:04:04,708 --> 00:04:06,752
It's cozy.

67
00:04:07,044 --> 00:04:09,129
- Hmm.

68
00:04:09,755 --> 00:04:11,423
- The program on Take 2 Heart's
app

69
00:04:12,091 --> 00:04:13,342
will be used to prove that
Christmas is

70
00:04:13,967 --> 00:04:15,219
the best time of year to fall in
love.

71
00:04:16,095 --> 00:04:17,721
And the person who is gonna test
out this theory will be...

72
00:04:18,347 --> 00:04:20,849
Drum roll, Christine. Nora
Winters!

73
00:04:21,183 --> 00:04:22,684
- Excuse me?

74
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:26,980
- So, you are gonna follow Take
2 Heart's multi-step plan

75
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:28,816
on how to fall in love.

76
00:04:29,691 --> 00:04:31,777
And while doing so, you're gonna
create a series of columns

77
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:33,404
to be posted on the Prism site,

78
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,198
with some exclusive content
along the way.

79
00:04:36,824 --> 00:04:38,200
Romance and Christmas poll very
high

80
00:04:38,659 --> 00:04:39,618
with this new demographic

81
00:04:40,411 --> 00:04:41,995
and you poll very high with the
current demographic,

82
00:04:42,663 --> 00:04:44,331
so it's a win-win for everyone.
- Hmm.

83
00:04:45,999 --> 00:04:47,084
Except me.

84
00:04:47,501 --> 00:04:48,919
(laughs awkwardly)

85
00:04:49,169 --> 00:04:50,003
Oh!

86
00:04:50,504 --> 00:04:52,256
I'm not doing a dating app

87
00:04:52,881 --> 00:04:54,633
and I'm not writing a dating
column.

88
00:04:55,217 --> 00:04:57,928
- You don't really have a
choice.

89
00:04:58,345 --> 00:05:00,431
- It's my company.

90
00:05:01,056 --> 00:05:03,434
- No, it's a public company,

91
00:05:04,476 --> 00:05:06,145
of which my hedge fund owns the
majority of voting shares.

92
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,272
(clicks tongue)

93
00:05:09,022 --> 00:05:12,443
Okay, look, this-this is a fun
and engaging idea,

94
00:05:13,527 --> 00:05:17,156
however, if you really do wanna
go after this new demographic,

95
00:05:17,781 --> 00:05:18,657
I'm sure that there are other
ways.

96
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:20,909
- Nora, your way is costing us.

97
00:05:23,078 --> 00:05:25,247
- And if I don't do this?

98
00:05:25,998 --> 00:05:28,459
- Hypothetically, the board
could vote you out

99
00:05:29,209 --> 00:05:30,752
as CEO and put in someone else
who's willing

100
00:05:31,545 --> 00:05:33,088
to do what it takes to ensure
the future of Prism.

101
00:05:33,547 --> 00:05:34,756
- Are you serious, Max?

102
00:05:35,299 --> 00:05:36,800
- Your way is not working, Nora.

103
00:05:37,259 --> 00:05:39,470
- Let's put it to a vote.

104
00:05:40,137 --> 00:05:43,724
All those in favor of me doing
this silly,

105
00:05:44,224 --> 00:05:46,810
likely momentary dating app.

106
00:05:51,023 --> 00:05:52,357
- All opposed?

107
00:05:55,277 --> 00:05:56,737
I'm gonna send over everything
you need to get started.

108
00:05:57,529 --> 00:05:58,697
Take 2 Heart would like to start
publishing articles

109
00:05:59,031 --> 00:05:59,698
by Wednesday.

110
00:06:00,115 --> 00:06:01,450
- That's two days!

111
00:06:02,117 --> 00:06:02,868
- Well, Christmas is only two
weeks away!

112
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:05,287
Time is of the essence. I, for
one, am looking forward

113
00:06:06,038 --> 00:06:07,623
to seeing what you create. Come
on, Christine.

114
00:06:14,296 --> 00:06:15,839
(sighs)

115
00:06:16,173 --> 00:06:17,508
(chuckles)

116
00:06:18,967 --> 00:06:21,053
(soft music)

117
00:06:22,804 --> 00:06:25,224
The Take 2 Heart steps for
success.

118
00:06:25,599 --> 00:06:29,061
(joyful music)

119
00:06:29,895 --> 00:06:31,522
- Okay, so you just stand like,
right like that. Good?

120
00:06:32,272 --> 00:06:33,106
- You do realize I can't sing,
right?

121
00:06:33,607 --> 00:06:34,149
- That's okay, that's okay.

122
00:06:34,733 --> 00:06:35,609
Sandy will balance out the
altos.

123
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,153
You're just here to sort of
balance out visually.

124
00:06:38,612 --> 00:06:40,113
- Okay, thanks. Ugh...

125
00:06:40,781 --> 00:06:42,908
This Take 2 Heart thing is just
so much!

126
00:06:43,659 --> 00:06:45,953
Adley, they want me to stage my
own meet cute.

127
00:06:46,328 --> 00:06:47,579
That's insane!

128
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:49,540
- Well, how else are you
supposed to fall in love?

129
00:06:50,123 --> 00:06:51,208
- I'm gonna write a great
article

130
00:06:51,917 --> 00:06:53,126
and make everyone think I'm
falling in love.

131
00:06:53,835 --> 00:06:55,254
I'm just gonna write it.
Nobody's gonna know.

132
00:06:56,046 --> 00:06:57,422
- Or you could actually put
yourself out there again.

133
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,924
- No. - Just saying.

134
00:06:59,633 --> 00:07:00,884
- What I need to do is I need to
find someone

135
00:07:01,385 --> 00:07:02,719
to fake fall in love with.

136
00:07:03,470 --> 00:07:04,888
- You seen a romantic comedy.
All you have to do

137
00:07:05,597 --> 00:07:07,015
is spill your hot cocoa on
someone, and boom,

138
00:07:07,766 --> 00:07:09,476
you got a meet cute. - Or a
second-degree burn.

139
00:07:09,935 --> 00:07:11,853
- Ah, shoot. It's Clark.

140
00:07:12,563 --> 00:07:13,981
He's just running things down at
the bakery.

141
00:07:14,398 --> 00:07:17,192
Hi, honey! Yeah. Oh.

142
00:07:17,484 --> 00:07:19,069
(sighs)

143
00:07:23,156 --> 00:07:26,285
- Hey, Reader, so I know it's
been a while

144
00:07:26,827 --> 00:07:31,582
but I think this is all insane

145
00:07:32,165 --> 00:07:33,709
and what did I get myself into?

146
00:07:34,126 --> 00:07:36,753
Ah! What am I doing?

147
00:07:39,673 --> 00:07:41,258
(light music)

148
00:07:46,888 --> 00:07:48,765
Okay, it's not real. None of
it's real.

149
00:07:49,224 --> 00:07:52,144
Just do the meet cute.

150
00:07:53,937 --> 00:07:56,565
Make the board happy and keep
your job

151
00:07:57,190 --> 00:07:58,984
from a whiny little nepo baby.
Hmm.

152
00:08:01,153 --> 00:08:03,614
Oh! Oh, I can't...oh...(sighs)

153
00:08:04,072 --> 00:08:08,076
(hands clap slowly)

154
00:08:09,494 --> 00:08:12,623
- Wow, I mean uh, that's... you
nailed that.

155
00:08:12,956 --> 00:08:14,291
- Excuse me?

156
00:08:14,666 --> 00:08:16,460
- That meet cute

157
00:08:17,127 --> 00:08:18,086
that you just tried to stage for
yourself?

158
00:08:18,754 --> 00:08:20,422
- I don't know what you're
talking about.

159
00:08:21,048 --> 00:08:21,965
- Right, no, it's a, it's a
classic.

160
00:08:22,633 --> 00:08:23,634
I've only ever seen it in
movies, though.

161
00:08:24,468 --> 00:08:25,135
I've never actually seen it in
real life.

162
00:08:25,886 --> 00:08:28,472
- Again, I don't know what
you're talking about.

163
00:08:29,222 --> 00:08:30,390
- So you were just trying to
pour piping hot cocoa

164
00:08:31,016 --> 00:08:32,059
on some poor, unsuspecting
stranger?

165
00:08:32,893 --> 00:08:36,355
That's... that's almost worse! -
No! It was... for work.

166
00:08:36,855 --> 00:08:39,358
(laughs) - Why is that funny?

167
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,986
- No, I just... Ah, that's good.

168
00:08:43,654 --> 00:08:44,821
- Well, it's too bad I didn't
choose you.

169
00:08:45,447 --> 00:08:48,283
- Hmm, yeah. Yeah. Huge, huge
bummer.

170
00:08:50,077 --> 00:08:51,536
Look, whatever it is you were
trying to do meet someone there,

171
00:08:52,037 --> 00:08:54,206
I hope it works out for ya.

172
00:08:54,956 --> 00:08:58,627
- Okay, I wasn't. I wasn't
trying... I'm not...

173
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,254
Oh, whatever.

174
00:09:03,423 --> 00:09:04,966
- Is everything okay? - Oh.

175
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:06,426
- What happened to you? (gasps)

176
00:09:06,802 --> 00:09:08,011
Wait, did you?

177
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,472
- Yeah. Yeah, I did, and it was
a huge fail.

178
00:09:11,056 --> 00:09:11,973
- Oh, by the way, (clears
throat)

179
00:09:12,724 --> 00:09:14,142
Lola wanted to come straight to
you from college,

180
00:09:14,768 --> 00:09:15,686
so would it be okay if you
brought her

181
00:09:16,478 --> 00:09:17,104
to dinner tonight? - Oh! Of
course,

182
00:09:17,813 --> 00:09:20,273
I can't wait to see her. - Okay,
great. Okay!

183
00:09:20,732 --> 00:09:22,651
- Okay. - It's go time.

184
00:09:23,110 --> 00:09:24,569
There you go, first page.

185
00:09:25,195 --> 00:09:26,029
- Hmm, well you remember I'm
miming.

186
00:09:26,321 --> 00:09:27,114
- Yes.

187
00:09:27,531 --> 00:09:28,782
■ A merry Christmas ■

188
00:09:29,366 --> 00:09:31,410
■ We wish you a merry Christmas
■

189
00:09:31,993 --> 00:09:33,704
■ We wish you a merry Christmas
■

190
00:09:34,329 --> 00:09:36,540
■ And a happy new year ■■

191
00:09:36,957 --> 00:09:37,749
(Lola): Hey, Nora?

192
00:09:39,376 --> 00:09:40,711
Hello? (Nora): Lola!

193
00:09:41,336 --> 00:09:42,170
I didn't hear you come in! -
Hey!

194
00:09:42,546 --> 00:09:43,714
(Nora laughs) Oh!

195
00:09:44,339 --> 00:09:46,174
- Oh, oh! - Okay, wait, wait,
wait.

196
00:09:46,842 --> 00:09:48,385
- I hope nothing in there was
breakable.

197
00:09:49,094 --> 00:09:51,430
(screaming excitedly) I missed
you so much!

198
00:09:52,055 --> 00:09:53,807
- I missed you too, aunt Nora.
Wait.

199
00:09:54,516 --> 00:09:55,976
So this thing with Take 2 Heart
seems cool.

200
00:09:56,268 --> 00:09:57,728
- What?

201
00:09:58,395 --> 00:10:00,397
- You dating, using their
program...

202
00:10:00,897 --> 00:10:02,733
- Wait, how do you know that?

203
00:10:03,483 --> 00:10:06,111
- Oh, I mean, it's all over the
socials.

204
00:10:06,737 --> 00:10:08,864
I was just looking at it. Right
here.

205
00:10:10,824 --> 00:10:11,742
- Huh!

206
00:10:12,409 --> 00:10:13,785
"Nora Winter trust Take 2 Heart

207
00:10:14,369 --> 00:10:15,287
to fall in love before
Christmas."

208
00:10:15,537 --> 00:10:16,538
Wow.

209
00:10:17,038 --> 00:10:18,540
- There's something wrong?

210
00:10:18,957 --> 00:10:21,042
- Uh... No, nothing.

211
00:10:21,543 --> 00:10:23,086
Okay, we should go. - Yes.

212
00:10:23,962 --> 00:10:25,714
- Your mom will not be thrilled
if we are late for dinner.

213
00:10:26,381 --> 00:10:28,049
- No, especially giving your
track record

214
00:10:28,884 --> 00:10:30,677
of family dinners recently. -
Okay, don't bring that up.

215
00:10:31,303 --> 00:10:31,970
I'll help you carry these
presents.

216
00:10:32,387 --> 00:10:33,764
- Okay. Thank you.

217
00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:36,016
- Oh! You got it? - Yep!

218
00:10:36,391 --> 00:10:37,768
(laughing softly)

219
00:10:38,477 --> 00:10:39,144
(Clark): Wait, you're doing
what?

220
00:10:39,895 --> 00:10:41,396
- It's called "How to Fall in
Love by Christmas".

221
00:10:41,938 --> 00:10:43,231
- That sounds like so much fun.

222
00:10:43,899 --> 00:10:44,900
And you've been so focused on
your work.

223
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,359
- You haven't dated anyone

224
00:10:46,985 --> 00:10:47,861
for like, as long as I can
remember.

225
00:10:48,403 --> 00:10:49,571
- I have been a tiny bit busy.

226
00:10:50,197 --> 00:10:50,989
- This will be really good for
you.

227
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:52,991
Get you out of your shell, into
new experiences.

228
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,076
- Yeah, and if you really do
fall in love--

229
00:10:55,744 --> 00:10:57,204
- Okay, it's just the name of
the series.

230
00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:59,664
- But it wouldn't be the worst
thing.

231
00:11:00,457 --> 00:11:01,833
I mean, just have a little fun,
sis. It's Christmas.

232
00:11:02,459 --> 00:11:04,920
- I saw the invites to the
fundraiser

233
00:11:05,337 --> 00:11:06,379
and they look great.

234
00:11:06,838 --> 00:11:08,256
- Well, Lola designed it.

235
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,802
- Oh. How's the foundation
doing?

236
00:11:12,427 --> 00:11:15,013
- Well, uh, the invites

237
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:16,890
for the charity event all went
out.

238
00:11:17,349 --> 00:11:19,810
- What was that? - What?

239
00:11:20,143 --> 00:11:21,770
- That look?

240
00:11:22,187 --> 00:11:23,939
- There was no look.

241
00:11:24,606 --> 00:11:26,316
- Okay, you always play with
your earring

242
00:11:26,942 --> 00:11:27,818
when you're not telling the
truth.

243
00:11:28,568 --> 00:11:29,986
- Just tell her, Mom. - Tell me
what?

244
00:11:30,403 --> 00:11:31,446
(chuckles nervously)

245
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:32,823
Well, I don't know if you've
seen

246
00:11:33,573 --> 00:11:34,407
the foundation's financial
report.

247
00:11:34,908 --> 00:11:36,743
- I have been preoccupied.

248
00:11:37,452 --> 00:11:40,831
- We've been a little
overextended this year

249
00:11:41,373 --> 00:11:42,499
and uh, you know,

250
00:11:43,124 --> 00:11:44,125
with the after school baking
classes.

251
00:11:44,709 --> 00:11:45,919
- And the free seniors'
programs.

252
00:11:46,711 --> 00:11:49,881
- And other charity donations,
we might be in the red.

253
00:11:50,340 --> 00:11:51,842
- How much in the red?

254
00:11:54,261 --> 00:11:56,388
- From what I've gathered,
redder than a poinsettia.

255
00:11:57,097 --> 00:12:00,267
- But we always find a way to
bounce back.

256
00:12:00,809 --> 00:12:02,477
And the bakery is humming along

257
00:12:03,103 --> 00:12:04,229
and I'm not gonna let this stop
us

258
00:12:04,855 --> 00:12:06,147
from making as much money as
possible

259
00:12:06,857 --> 00:12:08,859
at the charity fundraiser. -
Which we will.

260
00:12:09,150 --> 00:12:10,318
- Okay.

261
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:14,030
So, your mom tells me

262
00:12:14,739 --> 00:12:15,866
that you have been taking a
patisserie class.

263
00:12:16,324 --> 00:12:17,868
- Oh my gosh! Yes! Yes!

264
00:12:18,285 --> 00:12:20,370
(soft music)

265
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:26,918
- Okay, so cool news. Did you
see the photos

266
00:12:27,586 --> 00:12:28,587
from that recent billionaire's
space trip?

267
00:12:28,962 --> 00:12:30,589
Amazing, right?

268
00:12:31,256 --> 00:12:32,674
The guy who shot it just moved
to town,

269
00:12:33,174 --> 00:12:34,342
like literally just got here,

270
00:12:35,051 --> 00:12:36,887
and we hired him to photograph
this series.

271
00:12:37,220 --> 00:12:38,305
- What? Why?

272
00:12:39,055 --> 00:12:40,348
- Because his fans are a totally
different demo

273
00:12:41,182 --> 00:12:42,517
than the readers of Prism and
the users of Take 2 Heart,

274
00:12:43,268 --> 00:12:45,395
so it's kind of like this
perfect Venn diagram

275
00:12:45,979 --> 00:12:47,355
of new potential readers. -
Okay,

276
00:12:47,939 --> 00:12:48,899
do we really need a
photographer?

277
00:12:49,733 --> 00:12:51,359
I mean, I think my writing
speaks for itself.

278
00:12:52,152 --> 00:12:54,738
- No, not in this day and age of
short attention spans

279
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,823
and visual media. We need pics.

280
00:12:57,449 --> 00:12:59,326
But like cool, edgy, shareable
pics,

281
00:13:00,035 --> 00:13:01,286
that are likely to get stellar
impressions.

282
00:13:01,912 --> 00:13:02,913
Plus, Take 2 Heart wants to make
sure

283
00:13:03,413 --> 00:13:04,080
you're actually going for it

284
00:13:04,789 --> 00:13:05,916
and really holding up your end
of the bargain.

285
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:07,500
Hey, uh Jack, can you come in
here, please?

286
00:13:08,335 --> 00:13:09,169
This photographer's incredible.
You're gonna love him.

287
00:13:09,461 --> 00:13:10,545
- Uh...

288
00:13:11,838 --> 00:13:13,673
(light music)

289
00:13:13,965 --> 00:13:15,133
- You.

290
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:16,927
- And you.

291
00:13:17,427 --> 00:13:18,762
- You two know each other?

292
00:13:19,262 --> 00:13:20,597
- Uh, no. No, we-- - We met.

293
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:21,973
Yesterday.

294
00:13:22,682 --> 00:13:23,934
When she tried to stage her own
meet cute.

295
00:13:24,809 --> 00:13:27,979
- Okay, no uh, we kinda met. We
didn't really meet, meet.

296
00:13:28,396 --> 00:13:29,981
- We definitely met.

297
00:13:30,357 --> 00:13:31,608
- What's my name?

298
00:13:32,108 --> 00:13:33,818
(sighs) See, we didn't meet.

299
00:13:34,235 --> 00:13:35,779
- What is your name?

300
00:13:36,196 --> 00:13:38,740
- Nora. - Ah, cute.

301
00:13:39,491 --> 00:13:42,410
- What a weird thing to say.
Especially to a CEO.

302
00:13:42,953 --> 00:13:45,038
- This is kinda stellar, right?

303
00:13:45,705 --> 00:13:46,957
You guys already have natural
chemistry.

304
00:13:47,666 --> 00:13:48,959
- Oh, no, no, we don't. - No, I
try

305
00:13:49,668 --> 00:13:51,294
to have chemistry with everyone
I meet, so.

306
00:13:51,795 --> 00:13:54,339
- Right. Uh, okay, so, Jack,

307
00:13:55,090 --> 00:13:57,092
you are going to capture Nora's
journey to love

308
00:13:57,717 --> 00:13:58,969
by showing the magic of the
season.

309
00:13:59,678 --> 00:14:02,931
People love love and people love
Christmas.

310
00:14:03,390 --> 00:14:05,225
People love Nora Winters.

311
00:14:05,976 --> 00:14:09,479
- I think that we should keep my
dates anonymous.

312
00:14:10,105 --> 00:14:11,982
I mean, if we keep the guys
anonymous

313
00:14:12,649 --> 00:14:13,984
then I think there's a higher
probability

314
00:14:14,859 --> 00:14:16,152
that I will make a connection
with someone

315
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:19,155
who isn't dating me for the
wrong reason.

316
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:21,825
- Yes, that is why we pay you
the big bucks. I dig it.

317
00:14:22,617 --> 00:14:25,286
Okay, so Jack you are going to
capture Nora's face,

318
00:14:25,829 --> 00:14:26,830
in that stellar style of yours,

319
00:14:27,497 --> 00:14:28,999
and keep the guys obscured and
anonymous.

320
00:14:29,416 --> 00:14:30,250
All right!

321
00:14:31,001 --> 00:14:33,294
I am very excited to see what
you two cook up.

322
00:14:34,004 --> 00:14:35,880
- Hmm, I'm free now. You wanna
get started?

323
00:14:36,256 --> 00:14:38,133
- Uh, yeah. Yes.

324
00:14:38,591 --> 00:14:41,261
I just, I have to um...

325
00:14:41,636 --> 00:14:44,014
Find my wallet.

326
00:14:44,681 --> 00:14:47,600
Uh, so I will see you back here
soon.

327
00:14:50,270 --> 00:14:52,230
- I got a signed Sammy Sosa
rookie card.

328
00:14:52,605 --> 00:14:54,274
You wanna see it?

329
00:14:54,607 --> 00:14:56,109
- Uh, sure.

330
00:14:57,444 --> 00:14:58,194
- What do I do?

331
00:14:58,778 --> 00:15:00,905
He saw me stage my own meet
cute.

332
00:15:01,614 --> 00:15:03,408
- You're blowing this way out of
proportion.

333
00:15:03,867 --> 00:15:06,244
- Adley, he slow clapped.

334
00:15:06,745 --> 00:15:07,454
- All right, it's not ideal.

335
00:15:11,041 --> 00:15:12,125
Oh shoot, I gotta run.

336
00:15:12,834 --> 00:15:14,586
Baking for the fundraiser is in
full swing.

337
00:15:15,253 --> 00:15:16,546
I love you. I'll talk to you
later, okay?

338
00:15:16,921 --> 00:15:19,174
- Oh. Ugh. Oh!

339
00:15:19,549 --> 00:15:21,885
- You find it?

340
00:15:22,302 --> 00:15:24,345
- My wallet. Uh...

341
00:15:24,888 --> 00:15:27,724
No, it's probably in my purse.

342
00:15:28,641 --> 00:15:32,228
We uh, have a lot of work to do.
We should probably get started.

343
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,480
- Sure.

344
00:15:34,731 --> 00:15:36,399
(jazzy music)

345
00:15:37,108 --> 00:15:38,985
- So, the way I see it, I will
meet someone,

346
00:15:39,611 --> 00:15:40,278
we will go on a few festive
dates,

347
00:15:40,987 --> 00:15:42,530
get in the holiday spirit, and
then we can end

348
00:15:43,323 --> 00:15:45,033
with this fundraiser that my
family does every year

349
00:15:45,950 --> 00:15:48,078
that benefits my mother's bakery
and her charitable foundation.

350
00:15:48,995 --> 00:15:51,956
The fundraiser could serve as
the climax to our column.

351
00:15:52,665 --> 00:15:54,501
Wrapping up our magical love
story with a bow,

352
00:15:54,918 --> 00:15:56,336
and call it a day.

353
00:15:56,878 --> 00:15:59,089
- I think that sounds perfect.

354
00:15:59,631 --> 00:16:01,091
Unrealistic, but perfect.

355
00:16:01,633 --> 00:16:02,759
- Perfect's what I'm going for.

356
00:16:03,301 --> 00:16:06,096
- Okay. We'll come back to that.

357
00:16:06,763 --> 00:16:08,681
Um, my vision for this series is
high art.

358
00:16:09,099 --> 00:16:10,350
Raw, alter-realism.

359
00:16:10,892 --> 00:16:13,144
- We need it to feel romantic.

360
00:16:13,770 --> 00:16:16,272
We want the reader to really
believe

361
00:16:16,898 --> 00:16:18,775
that I am actually falling in
love.

362
00:16:19,526 --> 00:16:21,528
- Do you plan on not actually
falling in love?

363
00:16:22,278 --> 00:16:23,738
- No one has to know. We just
need them to feel

364
00:16:24,197 --> 00:16:25,323
like I'm falling in love.

365
00:16:25,824 --> 00:16:27,575
- It feels a bit deceptive.

366
00:16:28,284 --> 00:16:32,122
- Think of it like writing
beautiful fiction.

367
00:16:32,956 --> 00:16:34,999
And now, the way I see the style
is say,

368
00:16:35,667 --> 00:16:38,294
frame it like a classic romance
movie.

369
00:16:38,962 --> 00:16:41,131
Give the people something
aspirational.

370
00:16:41,965 --> 00:16:44,676
- Hmm. We need real, not fake
aspiration.

371
00:16:45,135 --> 00:16:46,553
- Well, it's not fake.

372
00:16:47,262 --> 00:16:48,429
- But you just said you don't
actually plan

373
00:16:49,097 --> 00:16:51,015
to fall in love, which, for the
record,

374
00:16:51,474 --> 00:16:53,643
I don't support. (sighs)

375
00:16:54,352 --> 00:16:57,147
- So, I say we go in the
opposite direction.

376
00:16:57,647 --> 00:16:59,149
We go for drama, high impact.

377
00:16:59,941 --> 00:17:02,902
You put yourself out there, you
get hurt. Real. Raw.

378
00:17:03,570 --> 00:17:05,947
- You actually think I could
fall in love?

379
00:17:06,698 --> 00:17:07,991
- I think you have a better
chance at doing so

380
00:17:08,616 --> 00:17:09,576
if you come at it with an open
mind.

381
00:17:10,451 --> 00:17:11,828
I mean, what are you afraid of?
- I'm not afraid of anything.

382
00:17:12,453 --> 00:17:14,289
Except sharks. Uh, and storm
drains.

383
00:17:14,664 --> 00:17:16,583
- Right. So...

384
00:17:17,250 --> 00:17:20,920
We follow the "Back to Square
One" plan

385
00:17:21,588 --> 00:17:22,630
from Take 2 Heart and we should
be set.

386
00:17:23,006 --> 00:17:24,132
- What is that?

387
00:17:24,924 --> 00:17:26,176
- It's for people who wanna put
themselves out there

388
00:17:26,718 --> 00:17:27,635
but haven't dated in a while.

389
00:17:29,053 --> 00:17:30,388
- What makes you think I haven't
dated in a while?

390
00:17:31,806 --> 00:17:33,141
Oh.

391
00:17:33,474 --> 00:17:34,684
(chuckles)

392
00:17:35,476 --> 00:17:38,062
- Anyway, I-I have an idea.
Should we get started?

393
00:17:38,897 --> 00:17:42,192
- We are on a tight deadline but
I uh, am sure that I...

394
00:17:43,026 --> 00:17:45,028
Yes, I have back-to-back
meetings today

395
00:17:45,570 --> 00:17:46,654
so, how about tomorrow morning?

396
00:17:47,030 --> 00:17:48,781
- Great. - Great.

397
00:17:49,157 --> 00:17:50,200
- Fine. - Fine.

398
00:17:51,326 --> 00:17:52,202
(sighs)

399
00:17:52,744 --> 00:17:54,204
(joyful music)

400
00:17:54,621 --> 00:17:55,580
(cellphone chimes)

401
00:17:56,915 --> 00:17:58,625
- Hey, Sara.

402
00:18:00,877 --> 00:18:03,213
This is huge for both you and
the agency.

403
00:18:03,671 --> 00:18:05,298
- Yeah. Yeah, we'll see.

404
00:18:05,924 --> 00:18:07,175
Not sure how real this is gonna
be.

405
00:18:10,011 --> 00:18:11,554
on the proposed exhibition at
the Smithton White Gallery?

406
00:18:14,015 --> 00:18:16,601
with this announcement, I do
have some news.

407
00:18:17,101 --> 00:18:19,437
Prism's rival, Level Eleven,

408
00:18:22,899 --> 00:18:24,317
- Why?

409
00:18:25,109 --> 00:18:26,819
- Because they're super
competitive with each other.

410
00:18:27,654 --> 00:18:29,614
And Level Eleven is looking to
bring on someone full time.

411
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,366
Ever since they saw the post
about you

412
00:18:31,866 --> 00:18:32,825
working with Nora Winters,

413
00:18:33,451 --> 00:18:34,702
they have been chomping at the
bit.

414
00:18:35,286 --> 00:18:36,371
You crush this and you could
have

415
00:18:37,038 --> 00:18:38,039
more offers than you know what
to do with.

416
00:18:38,873 --> 00:18:41,209
- Then maybe Smithton White will
give us a second look.

417
00:18:42,794 --> 00:18:44,087
I will follow up with them soon.

418
00:18:49,801 --> 00:18:53,054
(soft music)

419
00:18:55,390 --> 00:18:56,975
- "Dear Reader,

420
00:18:57,725 --> 00:19:02,313
Christmas is the most wonderful
time of the year.

421
00:19:02,772 --> 00:19:06,859
But what if it was also

422
00:19:07,485 --> 00:19:10,822
the most wonderful time of the
year

423
00:19:11,197 --> 00:19:13,408
to fall in love?"

424
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:14,909
Blech.

425
00:19:16,369 --> 00:19:19,122
Stay tuned to see

426
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:22,792
if the holiday meet cute

427
00:19:23,084 --> 00:19:24,711
is true

428
00:19:25,128 --> 00:19:29,173
or a work of fiction.

429
00:19:32,260 --> 00:19:34,012
(sighs)

430
00:19:34,345 --> 00:19:36,639
(soft music)

431
00:19:38,933 --> 00:19:40,310
(Nora sighs)

432
00:19:45,523 --> 00:19:46,899
Well, just --

433
00:19:47,275 --> 00:19:48,318
(elevator chimes)

434
00:19:51,654 --> 00:19:54,657
You're late. - Oh, time is just
a construct.

435
00:19:55,408 --> 00:19:57,744
- And infuriating. - One of my
better qualities.

436
00:19:58,244 --> 00:20:00,330
- Right. - Look, I'm sorry.

437
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,956
My nephew is staying with me for
the holidays.

438
00:20:02,373 --> 00:20:03,333
He lost his shoes.

439
00:20:03,875 --> 00:20:05,376
(scoffs) - Anyway, you're right.

440
00:20:06,044 --> 00:20:07,503
I should've let you know I was
running,

441
00:20:08,004 --> 00:20:09,297
literally, running behind.

442
00:20:09,589 --> 00:20:11,174
- Hmm.

443
00:20:11,841 --> 00:20:14,302
- Name's Kyle. He's my
half-sister's son.

444
00:20:14,719 --> 00:20:15,595
He loses everything.

445
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:17,430
Do you wanna know where his shoe
was?

446
00:20:18,097 --> 00:20:20,099
On the ceiling fan. How does a
5th grader

447
00:20:20,850 --> 00:20:21,893
get his shoe on a ceiling fan in
the first place?

448
00:20:22,435 --> 00:20:24,771
- Okay, I believe you. Kind of.

449
00:20:25,229 --> 00:20:27,357
Let's go. - After you.

450
00:20:28,608 --> 00:20:30,735
(light music)

451
00:20:33,654 --> 00:20:36,240
- This is the surprise? I love
this place.

452
00:20:36,741 --> 00:20:37,742
- You've been here before?

453
00:20:38,368 --> 00:20:39,577
Well, then it doesn't fit the
brief.

454
00:20:40,203 --> 00:20:41,454
- Oh, I think it's perfect. -
Huh.

455
00:20:41,913 --> 00:20:43,664
Let the mingling begin.

456
00:20:43,998 --> 00:20:45,500
(jazzy music)

457
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:51,381
- And you have how many cats?

458
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,717
(camera shutter snaps)

459
00:20:55,426 --> 00:20:58,221
- Uh no, I-I don't think I could
see myself

460
00:20:58,846 --> 00:21:00,640
living in a bunker full time.
Hmm.

461
00:21:01,099 --> 00:21:02,392
(camera shutter snaps)

462
00:21:02,934 --> 00:21:05,395
And that's um...

463
00:21:05,853 --> 00:21:06,938
whose hair?

464
00:21:07,188 --> 00:21:10,608
(■■)

465
00:21:13,069 --> 00:21:15,363
This isn't working. - I don't
disagree with you.

466
00:21:15,863 --> 00:21:16,948
How many times have you been

467
00:21:17,615 --> 00:21:18,574
at this Christmas market over
the years?

468
00:21:19,033 --> 00:21:21,160
- Quite a few. - Exactly.

469
00:21:21,661 --> 00:21:22,495
The Take 2 Heart step says

470
00:21:23,162 --> 00:21:24,247
to meet someone outside your
comfort zone.

471
00:21:25,123 --> 00:21:27,208
This is, well, it seems to be
well within your comfort zone.

472
00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:29,001
- You think that's the reason

473
00:21:29,585 --> 00:21:30,878
that I'm not meeting anybody
here.

474
00:21:31,754 --> 00:21:34,257
- I think you're not following
the instructions on the app.

475
00:21:35,007 --> 00:21:36,342
Look, I know you said you're
gonna write fiction

476
00:21:37,093 --> 00:21:38,594
but isn't fiction better if it's
based in reality

477
00:21:39,011 --> 00:21:40,430
just a little bit?

478
00:21:41,013 --> 00:21:42,432
- What would you suggest?

479
00:21:42,849 --> 00:21:45,143
(soft rhythmic music)

480
00:21:49,397 --> 00:21:52,942
- Ha, I didn't know they had
skating in here.

481
00:21:53,568 --> 00:21:55,445
This is the same place that my
family

482
00:21:56,154 --> 00:21:57,780
holds their Christmas fundraiser
every year.

483
00:21:58,406 --> 00:22:00,533
- Okay. We need a new place. -
Oh, no.

484
00:22:00,992 --> 00:22:02,493
No, I can confidently say

485
00:22:03,202 --> 00:22:05,121
that skating is outside of my
comfort zone.

486
00:22:05,788 --> 00:22:07,081
- Perfect. And the light's great
in here.

487
00:22:07,790 --> 00:22:09,250
Well, go rent some skates and
get out there.

488
00:22:10,042 --> 00:22:11,335
You only have a few days left to
fall in love, right?

489
00:22:11,627 --> 00:22:12,837
- Uh-huh.

490
00:22:13,963 --> 00:22:16,466
(■■)

491
00:22:19,594 --> 00:22:22,054
- Are you gonna be okay?

492
00:22:22,847 --> 00:22:26,434
- Yeah. Yeah, just uh, ha, need
to get my sea legs.

493
00:22:26,726 --> 00:22:27,852
- Huh.

494
00:22:28,227 --> 00:22:30,688
(rhythmic music)

495
00:22:36,194 --> 00:22:38,571
(Nora): I got this. Ha. - You
sure?

496
00:22:38,988 --> 00:22:41,199
- Just get your shot.

497
00:22:41,449 --> 00:22:44,160
(■■)

498
00:22:44,702 --> 00:22:47,121
Huh, you've got great technique.

499
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:48,039
(camera shutter snaps)

500
00:22:48,456 --> 00:22:49,540
(indistinct chatter)

501
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:52,168
(sighs)

502
00:22:53,836 --> 00:22:56,005
(■■)

503
00:22:56,631 --> 00:22:59,717
Hey, those are some serious
skates.

504
00:23:00,134 --> 00:23:01,385
- I totally agree.

505
00:23:03,095 --> 00:23:05,264
- Are they custom? - Yes.

506
00:23:05,806 --> 00:23:07,975
- Oh, neat. Where'd you get 'em?

507
00:23:08,267 --> 00:23:09,519
- Uh-huh.

508
00:23:10,102 --> 00:23:11,020
I'll meet you guys later.

509
00:23:11,312 --> 00:23:12,939
(sighs)

510
00:23:15,775 --> 00:23:17,527
Oh! - Oh!

511
00:23:18,486 --> 00:23:21,531
- Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry. - No,
it's fine. Are you okay?

512
00:23:22,073 --> 00:23:23,908
- I am. - Great.

513
00:23:24,242 --> 00:23:26,911
(light music)

514
00:23:27,411 --> 00:23:30,706
Ooh! Sorry. - Ooh! I got you.

515
00:23:32,124 --> 00:23:33,543
(camera shutter snaps)

516
00:23:34,085 --> 00:23:35,086
(Nora): Oh, we're doing good.

517
00:23:36,504 --> 00:23:37,630
Thanks for skating with me.

518
00:23:38,339 --> 00:23:40,550
(Steve): It's not bad. (camera
shutter snaps)

519
00:23:42,802 --> 00:23:44,804
(laughs)

520
00:23:45,304 --> 00:23:47,098
- That was surprisingly fun.

521
00:23:47,682 --> 00:23:49,559
I'd love to do it again
sometime.

522
00:23:50,226 --> 00:23:51,811
- Well, I'm actually seeing
someone.

523
00:23:52,311 --> 00:23:54,564
So, have a merry Christmas.

524
00:23:57,358 --> 00:24:00,152
(Jack): Well, that could've gone
better.

525
00:24:00,570 --> 00:24:02,572
- Yeah, right? Ouch.

526
00:24:03,656 --> 00:24:06,158
- Yeah, he was never into you. -
Why did he skate with me then?

527
00:24:06,826 --> 00:24:07,994
- 'Cause he was just trying to
be nice.

528
00:24:08,452 --> 00:24:09,579
You were kinda desperate.

529
00:24:10,037 --> 00:24:11,247
- I am not desperate.

530
00:24:12,748 --> 00:24:14,250
I'm not that desperate.

531
00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:16,544
- But the photos look great.

532
00:24:17,253 --> 00:24:19,046
I'm gonna grab something from
the snack bar.

533
00:24:19,505 --> 00:24:20,673
You want anything? - No.

534
00:24:21,299 --> 00:24:22,508
I'm just gonna return these
skates.

535
00:24:22,967 --> 00:24:24,176
I'll meet you back here.

536
00:24:27,054 --> 00:24:30,725
(light music)

537
00:24:32,518 --> 00:24:34,312
- Is this seat taken?

538
00:24:34,937 --> 00:24:37,106
- Oh, no not taken in the
slightest.

539
00:24:40,735 --> 00:24:42,069
- Have you been here before?

540
00:24:42,695 --> 00:24:45,239
- Uh, first time. You? - First
time.

541
00:24:45,906 --> 00:24:47,783
- Yeah, not as brave as I was as
a kid.

542
00:24:48,367 --> 00:24:50,494
- Right? - Yeah. Fear of
falling.

543
00:24:50,953 --> 00:24:52,705
- None at all. - Oh, no.

544
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,206
(both laugh)

545
00:24:55,541 --> 00:24:56,626
- Leo.

546
00:24:57,209 --> 00:24:59,920
- Oh, uh, Nora. Nice to meet
you.

547
00:25:05,384 --> 00:25:06,636
- This might sound a little
crazy,

548
00:25:07,136 --> 00:25:11,140
but it's the holidays, right?

549
00:25:11,807 --> 00:25:13,684
Would you like to get a drink
sometime?

550
00:25:16,103 --> 00:25:17,647
- That doesn't sound crazy at
all.

551
00:25:18,189 --> 00:25:19,815
Um, I would love that.

552
00:25:22,276 --> 00:25:23,819
My number's on the back.

553
00:25:24,528 --> 00:25:27,657
Um, just text me and we'll set
something up.

554
00:25:28,366 --> 00:25:30,660
- Cool. It was nice to meet you.

555
00:25:31,285 --> 00:25:32,662
- Nice to meet you too, Leo.

556
00:25:35,164 --> 00:25:36,832
Ah!

557
00:25:37,458 --> 00:25:39,418
- Now, that's what I'm talking
about.

558
00:25:40,044 --> 00:25:42,296
- Oh! What? - Is that him
already?

559
00:25:42,755 --> 00:25:43,673
Ah, that's a good sign.

560
00:25:44,382 --> 00:25:47,259
- Yeah, he asked me out for
tomorrow.

561
00:25:47,885 --> 00:25:49,929
- Great! Still think you need
backup.

562
00:25:50,388 --> 00:25:52,264
- What? Why? He just...

563
00:25:52,682 --> 00:25:53,683
He just asked me out.

564
00:25:54,433 --> 00:25:57,103
- You need insurance this series
will work, right?

565
00:25:57,436 --> 00:25:59,563
So, humor me.

566
00:26:00,064 --> 00:26:01,691
A former colleague of mine

567
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,275
is having a Christmas mixer
tonight.

568
00:26:03,734 --> 00:26:05,444
Come by, have a drink.

569
00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:07,697
Meet someone who could be your
backup

570
00:26:08,614 --> 00:26:11,409
in case option one here isn't
actually the one.

571
00:26:12,076 --> 00:26:15,037
- Okay, well, I don't believe in
the one.

572
00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:17,832
- Says the woman famous for
writing a dating column.

573
00:26:18,082 --> 00:26:19,834
Huh.

574
00:26:20,292 --> 00:26:22,002
I'll pick you up at 8:00.

575
00:26:22,378 --> 00:26:24,714
(gentle music)

576
00:26:31,971 --> 00:26:33,639
- Dear Reader,

577
00:26:34,098 --> 00:26:36,726
I am surprised to report

578
00:26:37,435 --> 00:26:41,731
that the holiday meet cute might
have worked.

579
00:26:43,315 --> 00:26:46,736
I met someone out of my comfort
zone.

580
00:26:48,487 --> 00:26:51,741
We'll call him Mr. L.

581
00:26:52,450 --> 00:26:56,495
Will he be the romantic
connection

582
00:26:57,246 --> 00:26:59,373
that this writer is seeking this
holiday season,

583
00:26:59,707 --> 00:27:02,460
or will he be

584
00:27:03,169 --> 00:27:06,380
the proverbial lump of coal in
my stocking?

585
00:27:06,714 --> 00:27:08,632
(chuckles)

586
00:27:12,136 --> 00:27:13,721
(Olivia):

587
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,058
- It's going fine. I mean,
you've signed the kid up

588
00:27:18,934 --> 00:27:20,770
for enough holiday activities to
fill his whole winter break.

589
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,688
- Well, that's the idea to keep
him entertained

590
00:27:23,022 --> 00:27:23,981
and you sane.

591
00:27:24,732 --> 00:27:26,108
I know how hard it can be moving
to a new city.

592
00:27:26,859 --> 00:27:28,694
- And how are things at the
hospital, Superwoman?

593
00:27:29,195 --> 00:27:31,447
- Chaotic and short-staffed.

594
00:27:32,072 --> 00:27:33,407
- Well, they're lucky to have
you.

595
00:27:34,033 --> 00:27:34,658
- Oh, I'm sorry. They're paging
me.

596
00:27:35,117 --> 00:27:35,951
I gotta run. But um...

597
00:27:36,577 --> 00:27:37,828
I'm gonna text you my Christmas
plans

598
00:27:38,537 --> 00:27:39,705
and I'll let you know if I can
make it, okay?

599
00:27:40,247 --> 00:27:41,624
- Sounds good. - I love ya, bye.

600
00:27:42,416 --> 00:27:44,210
(joyful music)

601
00:27:48,047 --> 00:27:50,216
(sighs)

602
00:27:52,426 --> 00:27:53,552
(Adley chuckles) - What?

603
00:27:54,220 --> 00:27:55,805
- Did you forget how to roll out
dough?

604
00:27:56,639 --> 00:27:58,766
- It's been a while since
rolling dough

605
00:27:59,391 --> 00:28:00,226
is part of my day-to-day
activities.

606
00:28:00,643 --> 00:28:02,061
- Uh-huh, I can tell.

607
00:28:02,645 --> 00:28:04,939
So, I went online and I saw
Jack,

608
00:28:05,314 --> 00:28:06,816
and he is cute!

609
00:28:07,149 --> 00:28:08,734
And single.

610
00:28:09,443 --> 00:28:11,487
- And mildly infuriating and
full of himself.

611
00:28:12,238 --> 00:28:14,824
- But I saw the post. You said
you met someone.

612
00:28:15,324 --> 00:28:17,827
- Yeah, in theory.

613
00:28:18,536 --> 00:28:19,870
As long as the board and Take 2
Heart

614
00:28:20,496 --> 00:28:21,831
believe I'm really falling in
love,

615
00:28:22,665 --> 00:28:23,874
who cares if I fluff it up a
little bit.

616
00:28:24,708 --> 00:28:26,585
They want a good story, I'm
gonna give 'em a good story.

617
00:28:27,086 --> 00:28:28,462
(cellphone vibrating) Ugh.

618
00:28:29,004 --> 00:28:31,131
Hey, Max, what can I do for you?

619
00:28:31,882 --> 00:28:33,592
- Take 2 Heart just sent notes
on your article.

620
00:28:34,301 --> 00:28:36,262
That roller rink bit, that was
cute, on brand,

621
00:28:36,971 --> 00:28:38,347
and they loved that fail with
the first guy.

622
00:28:40,391 --> 00:28:42,101
But they do have some tweaks.

623
00:28:42,476 --> 00:28:44,061
- Oh, do they?

624
00:28:47,147 --> 00:28:48,607
I know that you and I don't
always see eye to eye,

625
00:28:49,108 --> 00:28:50,526
but I am on your team here.

626
00:29:00,911 --> 00:29:01,871
and for the crossover of users
to happen,

627
00:29:02,496 --> 00:29:02,955
I need to know what you're
feeling.

628
00:29:03,455 --> 00:29:04,290
Not just what's happening.

629
00:29:08,085 --> 00:29:09,837
Give me the old Nora Winters.

630
00:29:10,254 --> 00:29:12,381
Okay? I gotta bounce.

631
00:29:12,631 --> 00:29:14,717
- Oh.

632
00:29:15,134 --> 00:29:16,218
- I agree with him.

633
00:29:17,052 --> 00:29:19,430
I think you really gotta open up
if this is gonna work.

634
00:29:20,055 --> 00:29:20,890
- How many of these snowmen
cookie

635
00:29:21,348 --> 00:29:21,849
do we have to make?

636
00:29:22,391 --> 00:29:23,142
- For the fundraiser, about 100.

637
00:29:23,434 --> 00:29:24,393
- Hmm.

638
00:29:25,019 --> 00:29:25,769
- What, are you getting soft on
me?

639
00:29:26,395 --> 00:29:28,564
- I admit, I am a bit out of
practice.

640
00:29:28,939 --> 00:29:31,817
(rhythmic music)

641
00:29:38,490 --> 00:29:39,575
(Jack): Hey, guys! - Hi!

642
00:29:39,867 --> 00:29:40,326
- Hey!

643
00:29:40,701 --> 00:29:42,578
(scoffs) - Uh.

644
00:29:42,828 --> 00:29:43,954
- Oh!

645
00:29:44,371 --> 00:29:46,415
- Hey, how you doing?

646
00:29:46,790 --> 00:29:48,375
(phone buzzes)

647
00:29:54,632 --> 00:29:55,716
(cellphone chimes)

648
00:29:56,091 --> 00:29:57,509
(clicks tongue)

649
00:29:59,261 --> 00:30:00,930
(exhales)

650
00:30:01,764 --> 00:30:03,223
Hey, uh, I just need to do a
quick lap.

651
00:30:03,807 --> 00:30:05,559
- Uh, sure, yeah. Yeah.
Whatever.

652
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:07,937
Do you whatever you need to do.
- Are you sure?

653
00:30:08,979 --> 00:30:09,939
I just don't wanna bail on you
since you don't know anyone.

654
00:30:10,522 --> 00:30:11,941
- You're not bailing. Not at
all.

655
00:30:15,152 --> 00:30:17,196
- Why are you acting weird? -
I'm not acting weird.

656
00:30:17,696 --> 00:30:20,240
Not, not me, no. Not weird.

657
00:30:20,532 --> 00:30:21,784
- Okay.

658
00:30:22,201 --> 00:30:23,494
Meet back here in 20?

659
00:30:23,911 --> 00:30:25,454
- 10-4, good buddy.

660
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,957
(chuckles) - Yeah, that was
weird.

661
00:30:35,255 --> 00:30:36,966
(light music)

662
00:31:00,614 --> 00:31:03,993
- Oh! Oh, I'm so sorry.

663
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:07,538
Um, I-I didn't know anybody was
in here.

664
00:31:07,913 --> 00:31:09,415
- I'm Geoffrey.

665
00:31:09,748 --> 00:31:11,166
(soft music)

666
00:31:11,458 --> 00:31:13,085
- Nora.

667
00:31:13,419 --> 00:31:15,045
(chuckles)

668
00:31:18,382 --> 00:31:20,050
- And I never played another
game

669
00:31:20,592 --> 00:31:21,802
of mini golf again in my life.

670
00:31:22,136 --> 00:31:23,345
(both laugh)

671
00:31:23,971 --> 00:31:25,014
It just flew right out of his
hands.

672
00:31:25,431 --> 00:31:26,098
It was incredible.

673
00:31:26,432 --> 00:31:27,933
(laughing)

674
00:31:28,308 --> 00:31:29,560
(gentle music)

675
00:31:29,893 --> 00:31:31,979
(chuckling)

676
00:31:32,479 --> 00:31:33,731
(cellphone chimes) Excuse me.

677
00:31:35,149 --> 00:31:38,027
Uh, I am so sorry.

678
00:31:38,527 --> 00:31:40,654
I'm gonna have to go. - Okay.

679
00:31:41,363 --> 00:31:43,032
- But I would love to take you
out sometime.

680
00:31:43,574 --> 00:31:45,409
You know, if you'd like.

681
00:31:45,826 --> 00:31:47,619
- I would love that.

682
00:31:48,370 --> 00:31:51,206
Have you ever been to Gregson's
Christmas Market?

683
00:31:51,707 --> 00:31:54,376
- No. But it sounds magical.

684
00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:56,503
- Oh, it is.

685
00:31:56,837 --> 00:31:58,088
(chuckles)

686
00:31:58,547 --> 00:31:59,673
(camera shutter snaps)

687
00:32:00,632 --> 00:32:02,051
(Nora laughs)

688
00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:06,972
(jazzy music) (indistinct
chatter)

689
00:32:07,681 --> 00:32:10,434
- It is so nice to meet you. -
Oh, you too.

690
00:32:10,768 --> 00:32:12,102
(chuckles)

691
00:32:14,021 --> 00:32:15,064
(sighs happily)

692
00:32:16,190 --> 00:32:17,983
Jack.

693
00:32:18,233 --> 00:32:19,485
Jack!

694
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:21,528
- Oh, excuse me.

695
00:32:22,029 --> 00:32:23,405
So, it looks like you found

696
00:32:24,114 --> 00:32:26,075
a very photogenic insurance
policy, I see.

697
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:28,744
(Nora): Oh, aren't you sneaky.

698
00:32:29,453 --> 00:32:31,330
That's fantastic. We can
definitely use that.

699
00:32:31,955 --> 00:32:33,415
Which leads me to, I should go
home.

700
00:32:34,166 --> 00:32:37,044
- I'll walk you. - I am all the
way across town.

701
00:32:37,503 --> 00:32:39,088
- Ah, I love the subway.

702
00:32:39,463 --> 00:32:40,464
- Okay.

703
00:32:41,757 --> 00:32:43,675
(soft music)

704
00:32:44,301 --> 00:32:46,095
(Jack): So, this fundraiser
thing.

705
00:32:46,762 --> 00:32:48,555
- Oh, well, my parents started
it, um,

706
00:32:49,264 --> 00:32:51,642
to raise money to give back to
the community.

707
00:32:52,309 --> 00:32:54,269
Uh, they offered all these free
programs,

708
00:32:54,937 --> 00:32:58,941
baking lessons for kids, senior
events.

709
00:32:59,399 --> 00:33:00,275
And so now, my sister,

710
00:33:00,901 --> 00:33:03,237
she still does the thing once a
year,

711
00:33:03,862 --> 00:33:05,656
and the funds that they raise,
well,

712
00:33:06,323 --> 00:33:08,283
it pretty much covers the whole
thing.

713
00:33:09,034 --> 00:33:11,662
I used to be really involved but
as Prism grew,

714
00:33:12,204 --> 00:33:13,997
I just couldn't juggle it all.

715
00:33:14,706 --> 00:33:16,959
- Sounds important. Look, I have
some ideas

716
00:33:17,543 --> 00:33:18,210
for dates that I wanna run by
you

717
00:33:18,961 --> 00:33:20,129
and I think they're fully Take 2
Heart approved.

718
00:33:22,131 --> 00:33:24,133
How about bowling?

719
00:33:24,424 --> 00:33:25,884
(laughs)

720
00:33:26,135 --> 00:33:27,136
- No.

721
00:33:28,011 --> 00:33:30,097
I do not think bowling is on
brand for Prism.

722
00:33:30,806 --> 00:33:33,809
How about... volunteering at a
soup kitchen?

723
00:33:34,226 --> 00:33:35,686
- Ugh, terrible idea.

724
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:37,771
But I do fully support the
cause.

725
00:33:38,438 --> 00:33:40,190
- Hmm. - What about Christmas
karaoke?

726
00:33:40,566 --> 00:33:42,776
- Absolutely not.

727
00:33:43,068 --> 00:33:44,903
(sighs)

728
00:33:45,612 --> 00:33:47,573
We are gonna have to settle this
like adults.

729
00:33:47,906 --> 00:33:50,075
- All right.

730
00:33:50,367 --> 00:33:51,577
(laughs)

731
00:33:51,994 --> 00:33:52,911
- That's your version

732
00:33:53,537 --> 00:33:54,496
of settling something like an
adult?

733
00:33:55,122 --> 00:33:57,166
- Yeah. Isn't it yours? - On
three?

734
00:33:57,624 --> 00:33:58,458
- On three.

735
00:33:58,876 --> 00:34:00,460
- One, two, three.

736
00:34:00,836 --> 00:34:02,421
A-ha! (chuckles)

737
00:34:03,046 --> 00:34:04,673
Christmas market it is. It's
festive,

738
00:34:05,382 --> 00:34:07,301
it has amazing lighting, so
you'll like that.

739
00:34:08,051 --> 00:34:09,178
Plus, we already know our way
around the place.

740
00:34:09,761 --> 00:34:10,512
It'll be the perfect date.

741
00:34:11,930 --> 00:34:13,932
This is me.

742
00:34:14,266 --> 00:34:16,351
(soft music)

743
00:34:16,894 --> 00:34:19,188
Thank you for getting me home.

744
00:34:19,688 --> 00:34:21,565
- Happy to.

745
00:34:22,232 --> 00:34:24,359
- Meet me tomorrow morning at
the bakery?

746
00:34:24,776 --> 00:34:26,445
- Sounds like a plan.

747
00:34:31,491 --> 00:34:35,204
(■■)

748
00:34:37,664 --> 00:34:39,208
- Who is that?

749
00:34:39,833 --> 00:34:41,084
- That's a woman I'm working
with.

750
00:34:41,460 --> 00:34:42,044
- She's pretty.

751
00:34:42,336 --> 00:34:44,213
I like...

752
00:34:44,630 --> 00:34:46,256
That one.

753
00:34:46,757 --> 00:34:49,051
- Yeah, me too, little man.

754
00:34:49,551 --> 00:34:51,220
- Can I call Mom before bed?

755
00:34:52,012 --> 00:34:53,680
- Oof, she's probably still at
work

756
00:34:54,181 --> 00:34:55,098
but we can give her a try.

757
00:34:55,599 --> 00:34:57,017
- Adults are always at work.

758
00:34:59,228 --> 00:35:00,938
- How about this?

759
00:35:01,688 --> 00:35:03,190
I have to visit a Christmas tree
farm tomorrow.

760
00:35:03,941 --> 00:35:05,359
What do you say you play hooky
and come with me?

761
00:35:06,109 --> 00:35:07,319
We could even start the day with
all you can eat

762
00:35:07,778 --> 00:35:08,862
pancakes at the diner.

763
00:35:09,780 --> 00:35:11,448
All right.

764
00:35:13,575 --> 00:35:16,119
(soft music)

765
00:35:21,416 --> 00:35:23,961
(lips smacking) - Dear reader,

766
00:35:24,670 --> 00:35:28,590
this writer can confirm for you
that, yes,

767
00:35:29,299 --> 00:35:34,221
people are way more willing to
be open to you

768
00:35:34,930 --> 00:35:38,976
if you put yourself out of your
comfort zone.

769
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:43,522
But is it the holiday season
or...

770
00:35:44,022 --> 00:35:47,234
is it just that I am finally

771
00:35:47,943 --> 00:35:49,486
putting myself out there for the
first time

772
00:35:49,903 --> 00:35:52,781
in a very long time?

773
00:35:54,533 --> 00:35:55,784
Hmm.

774
00:36:00,664 --> 00:36:01,999
(cellphone pings)

775
00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:05,627
(cellphone chimes)

776
00:36:09,339 --> 00:36:10,382
(sighs)

777
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,843
(bell on door jingles)

778
00:36:14,303 --> 00:36:17,014
- So, I have a plan. - Okay.

779
00:36:17,514 --> 00:36:19,308
- I might have told everyone

780
00:36:20,225 --> 00:36:21,393
that you were working with the
space photographer guy

781
00:36:22,060 --> 00:36:23,854
and that he's gonna be at the
fundraiser.

782
00:36:24,646 --> 00:36:26,690
And that Prism is gonna do a
write-up on the bakery.

783
00:36:27,482 --> 00:36:30,277
And that if people come to the
Christmas charity event

784
00:36:30,902 --> 00:36:32,821
that they could maybe get a
chance

785
00:36:33,363 --> 00:36:35,699
to be featured in your column.

786
00:36:36,241 --> 00:36:38,243
- Well, that is not a bad plan,

787
00:36:39,077 --> 00:36:41,204
I just wish you'd asked me
before you told the whole town.

788
00:36:41,705 --> 00:36:43,332
(Jack): Okay, yes, thank you.

789
00:36:44,207 --> 00:36:46,335
And if anything changes, please
just let us know.

790
00:36:46,835 --> 00:36:50,047
- Hey. Hi! You must be Kyle.

791
00:36:50,547 --> 00:36:51,965
I'm Nora. Nice to meet you.

792
00:36:52,674 --> 00:36:55,510
- Hi. And you must be Jack, the
famed Jack.

793
00:36:56,261 --> 00:36:57,429
- Uncle Jack and I went for
pancakes this morning

794
00:36:58,096 --> 00:36:59,348
before the apartment went under
water.

795
00:36:59,806 --> 00:37:01,266
- What?

796
00:37:02,017 --> 00:37:04,311
- It was a small leak turned
into a literal flood.

797
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:06,188
Yeah, we don't know when we can
get back in.

798
00:37:07,022 --> 00:37:09,024
And I am currently on the hunt
for a hotel room for us,

799
00:37:09,566 --> 00:37:10,359
but as it's close to Christmas--

800
00:37:11,068 --> 00:37:12,277
- You can stay with us. - Adley.

801
00:37:12,944 --> 00:37:14,196
- What? I mean, we're just up
the road

802
00:37:14,988 --> 00:37:16,907
and we've got plenty of room at
the metaphorical inn.

803
00:37:17,616 --> 00:37:19,159
- Do you have a Christmas tree?
- A big one.

804
00:37:19,743 --> 00:37:22,371
- I'm sure they have other
offers.

805
00:37:22,913 --> 00:37:24,414
- Well, actually, we don't.

806
00:37:24,915 --> 00:37:26,958
- Uncle Jack, can we? Please?

807
00:37:27,459 --> 00:37:28,960
- From what I've read online,

808
00:37:29,628 --> 00:37:30,837
you're relatively new to the
city, so...

809
00:37:31,296 --> 00:37:32,464
- Are you a stalker now?

810
00:37:32,923 --> 00:37:34,091
- I am new to the city

811
00:37:34,716 --> 00:37:35,967
and my family's all out west,
so...

812
00:37:36,635 --> 00:37:37,427
- No one should be without their
family

813
00:37:37,844 --> 00:37:38,887
during the holidays.

814
00:37:39,262 --> 00:37:40,680
I insist. Okay?

815
00:37:41,473 --> 00:37:43,266
Plus, I could use some help
baking cookies for Santa.

816
00:37:43,975 --> 00:37:45,894
It was very nice to meet you,
Kyle and Jack.

817
00:37:46,686 --> 00:37:48,980
Nora will give you my address
and I'll see you soon.

818
00:37:51,108 --> 00:37:53,402
- Well, your sister is very
generous.

819
00:37:53,777 --> 00:37:55,987
- That she is.

820
00:37:56,321 --> 00:37:57,656
We should go.

821
00:38:02,744 --> 00:38:05,038
(light music)

822
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,044
(Jack): Well, that looks like
fun.

823
00:38:11,461 --> 00:38:12,421
You wanna join them?

824
00:38:12,796 --> 00:38:13,922
All right.

825
00:38:16,007 --> 00:38:19,469
So, where's your guy, Option A?

826
00:38:20,220 --> 00:38:24,516
- His name is Leo and he is no
longer an option.

827
00:38:25,225 --> 00:38:27,436
- So, I was right. You did need
insurance.

828
00:38:29,771 --> 00:38:31,064
Wait, does that mean no one is
coming?

829
00:38:31,523 --> 00:38:32,441
- Geoffrey was gonna come

830
00:38:33,191 --> 00:38:35,444
and he asked for a raincheck
too.

831
00:38:39,197 --> 00:38:42,033
- Can we at least look at the
trees, please?

832
00:38:42,534 --> 00:38:44,744
- I do still need content.

833
00:38:45,245 --> 00:38:46,538
- But your date's not here.

834
00:38:47,414 --> 00:38:49,708
- I don't have to actually go on
a date to write about a date.

835
00:38:50,125 --> 00:38:51,460
Fiction, remember?

836
00:38:52,294 --> 00:38:55,589
What do you say we try to find
the tallest Christmas tree?

837
00:38:55,964 --> 00:38:57,466
(Nora chuckles)

838
00:38:57,883 --> 00:39:00,844
(light music)

839
00:39:03,430 --> 00:39:06,808
- Flash cards? Oh, you did not!
- They help me stay organized.

840
00:39:07,350 --> 00:39:09,478
- For a date? - For the column.

841
00:39:10,020 --> 00:39:11,480
(sighs mockingly)

842
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:14,316
- How is a woman like you
single?

843
00:39:14,941 --> 00:39:16,359
I mean, you are incredibly
successful,

844
00:39:17,027 --> 00:39:19,571
conventionally attractive. - Oh,
thanks.

845
00:39:20,238 --> 00:39:22,782
- I meant that as a compliment.
- Okay.

846
00:39:23,408 --> 00:39:24,618
Um, well, actually, I was
married.

847
00:39:25,076 --> 00:39:26,870
Briefly. Long time ago.

848
00:39:27,287 --> 00:39:29,164
To a fantastic guy.

849
00:39:29,956 --> 00:39:33,919
But it was right when Prism was
getting some traction

850
00:39:34,419 --> 00:39:36,213
and I wanted to grow that,

851
00:39:36,755 --> 00:39:38,340
and he wanted to move to a farm,

852
00:39:39,174 --> 00:39:43,345
and have a big family, and live
off the land and yeah,

853
00:39:44,221 --> 00:39:46,515
we really loved each other, but
we just weren't a good fit.

854
00:39:46,890 --> 00:39:49,935
So, after that,

855
00:39:50,477 --> 00:39:52,521
Prism started to take off and...

856
00:39:54,272 --> 00:39:56,441
And what about you? Have you
ever been married?

857
00:39:56,775 --> 00:39:58,860
- Uh, no. No.

858
00:39:59,319 --> 00:40:01,780
Engaged, twice. - Hmm.

859
00:40:02,656 --> 00:40:04,366
- Yeah, both times, I literally
put everything ahead of her

860
00:40:04,866 --> 00:40:05,867
and it cost me everything.

861
00:40:06,618 --> 00:40:08,370
It's part of the reason for the
career change.

862
00:40:09,746 --> 00:40:10,789
- I mean, life's too short.

863
00:40:11,623 --> 00:40:13,708
I uh, I want to experience as
much love and joy as I can

864
00:40:14,084 --> 00:40:16,086
while I'm here.

865
00:40:16,503 --> 00:40:17,921
Do you miss writing?

866
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,924
- Uh, sometimes, I guess.

867
00:40:21,675 --> 00:40:24,386
But I don't miss bearing my soul
on the internet,

868
00:40:24,886 --> 00:40:26,137
only to be trolled for it.

869
00:40:26,805 --> 00:40:28,431
- Says the woman writing a
dating column.

870
00:40:28,932 --> 00:40:30,767
- No, that was not my choice.

871
00:40:31,434 --> 00:40:34,563
I just... I need the readers to
believe

872
00:40:35,146 --> 00:40:36,439
that I am falling in love,

873
00:40:37,148 --> 00:40:39,734
and then, the board won't vote
me out of CEO.

874
00:40:40,443 --> 00:40:44,197
- Whew, no pressure. - Ha, no,
none at all.

875
00:40:44,739 --> 00:40:47,409
- Isn't it perfect? We need it.

876
00:40:48,034 --> 00:40:50,579
- Kyle, why did you pick this
tree?

877
00:40:51,371 --> 00:40:52,872
- 'Cause it's tiny and funny
looking.

878
00:40:53,540 --> 00:40:54,583
And I was worried everybody
would want

879
00:40:55,083 --> 00:40:56,084
the big, fluffier trees.

880
00:40:56,751 --> 00:40:58,211
And I didn't want this one to be
lonely.

881
00:40:58,837 --> 00:41:00,589
So, I think we should take it
home.

882
00:41:01,506 --> 00:41:02,632
Do you think you sister would
like this Christmas tree?

883
00:41:03,216 --> 00:41:06,177
- Kyle, I think she would love
it.

884
00:41:06,469 --> 00:41:07,762
- Yes!

885
00:41:08,054 --> 00:41:08,930
(laughs)

886
00:41:11,016 --> 00:41:12,225
How long is he staying with you?

887
00:41:12,976 --> 00:41:15,604
- Uh, until the new year. My
half-sister, Olivia,

888
00:41:16,354 --> 00:41:18,106
she's a single mother ER doctor
back in Boston,

889
00:41:18,898 --> 00:41:21,109
and uh, well, she needed a
little help this season,

890
00:41:21,818 --> 00:41:23,028
so I offered to take Kyle for a
few weeks.

891
00:41:23,486 --> 00:41:24,738
- Oh, that's nice of you.

892
00:41:25,614 --> 00:41:27,198
- Well, it's the least I can do.
She's the one saving lives.

893
00:41:27,699 --> 00:41:29,242
- Well, if she comes to town,

894
00:41:29,951 --> 00:41:30,952
she is more than welcome to the
fundraiser.

895
00:41:31,578 --> 00:41:33,997
- I'll extend the invite. Thank
you.

896
00:41:34,331 --> 00:41:35,665
- Uncle Jack,

897
00:41:36,207 --> 00:41:37,667
can we get hot cocoa after this?

898
00:41:40,170 --> 00:41:42,339
- I would never turn down hot
cocoa.

899
00:41:42,631 --> 00:41:44,174
- Yes.

900
00:41:44,549 --> 00:41:46,676
(joyful music)

901
00:41:51,264 --> 00:41:52,849
- All right, I just finished my
last gift

902
00:41:53,350 --> 00:41:54,184
for the Michaelson family.

903
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:55,852
Anyone need help?

904
00:41:56,519 --> 00:41:57,771
- I just started on the Smiths'
gifts.

905
00:41:58,188 --> 00:41:59,481
- Well, give me one.

906
00:42:00,106 --> 00:42:01,107
- So, do you guys do this every
year?

907
00:42:01,608 --> 00:42:02,651
Sponsor this many families?

908
00:42:03,485 --> 00:42:04,819
- Well, Nora actually started
the tradition.

909
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:06,696
- Oh, we started it together.

910
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,117
- So, Jack, why don't you tell
us about yourself?

911
00:42:11,993 --> 00:42:15,205
We know you're a photographer
and your photos are wonderful.

912
00:42:15,538 --> 00:42:16,498
- Thank you.

913
00:42:17,207 --> 00:42:19,542
Uh, it was actually quite a
career change.

914
00:42:20,335 --> 00:42:22,671
- Well, what did you do before?
- Corporate finance.

915
00:42:23,213 --> 00:42:24,673
- Hmm. - Yeah, I uh,

916
00:42:25,507 --> 00:42:26,675
worked for the same company for
three decades.

917
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:28,176
But my grandfather, Franklin
Peterson,

918
00:42:28,635 --> 00:42:29,344
he was a photographer.

919
00:42:29,969 --> 00:42:31,846
- He did wildlife photography,
right?

920
00:42:32,389 --> 00:42:33,890
- Taught me everything I know.

921
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:36,184
- But you went to corporate
finance anyway?

922
00:42:36,643 --> 00:42:38,478
- I took a safer route.

923
00:42:39,104 --> 00:42:40,146
But one day, it was like I woke
up

924
00:42:40,814 --> 00:42:41,815
and I realized that my life was
flying by

925
00:42:42,357 --> 00:42:43,149
and I hadn't done all the things

926
00:42:43,650 --> 00:42:45,110
that I really wanted to do.

927
00:42:45,568 --> 00:42:47,278
I was too afraid to do.

928
00:42:47,612 --> 00:42:50,031
So, I quit.

929
00:42:50,699 --> 00:42:52,575
I packed my bags, I bought a new
camera,

930
00:42:53,368 --> 00:42:54,619
and I travelled around the world
taking photographs

931
00:42:55,328 --> 00:42:56,579
of all those places I'd seen in
screensavers.

932
00:42:57,163 --> 00:42:59,082
- Hey, that's pretty
adventurous.

933
00:42:59,833 --> 00:43:01,960
- You wouldn't recognize me in
my finance days.

934
00:43:02,502 --> 00:43:05,088
- You like this version better?

935
00:43:05,588 --> 00:43:07,340
- Most of the time. - Hmm.

936
00:43:07,716 --> 00:43:08,675
- More so now.

937
00:43:10,385 --> 00:43:12,721
- And the column is going well?

938
00:43:13,054 --> 00:43:14,806
- It's uh...

939
00:43:15,265 --> 00:43:17,892
- Off to... - A start.

940
00:43:18,226 --> 00:43:20,770
(both laugh)

941
00:43:21,271 --> 00:43:22,856
It's a solid start. - Okay.

942
00:43:23,481 --> 00:43:25,442
- Um, I mean, I met a guy, and
it's...

943
00:43:26,025 --> 00:43:27,360
(cellphone pings) It's going
well.

944
00:43:27,694 --> 00:43:29,028
(chuckles)

945
00:43:30,947 --> 00:43:32,115
(cellphone chimes)

946
00:43:36,453 --> 00:43:37,537
(cellphone chimes)

947
00:43:41,291 --> 00:43:43,835
- Oh, Nora, don't forget to stop
by the train museum

948
00:43:44,502 --> 00:43:46,129
to drop off the deposit for our
space.

949
00:43:46,713 --> 00:43:47,630
We have to get it in by 4:00
p.m.

950
00:43:48,173 --> 00:43:48,840
or we lose the location. - Okay.

951
00:43:49,174 --> 00:43:51,009
- Thank you.

952
00:43:51,634 --> 00:43:53,762
(chuckling) (Lola): Night, Aunt
Nora.

953
00:43:54,179 --> 00:43:55,764
(soft music)

954
00:43:58,433 --> 00:44:01,519
- So, what's the plan? 'Cause
your guys keep bailing.

955
00:44:02,353 --> 00:44:05,482
- My guys don't keep bailing,
they keep rain-checking,

956
00:44:06,191 --> 00:44:08,234
which based on my column, nobody
would know.

957
00:44:08,651 --> 00:44:10,695
So, well, kind of.

958
00:44:11,196 --> 00:44:12,781
- What have you got to lose?

959
00:44:13,615 --> 00:44:14,741
I mean, if you really put
yourself out there?

960
00:44:15,450 --> 00:44:17,702
- Nothing other than being
mocked, ridiculed,

961
00:44:18,203 --> 00:44:19,454
never taken seriously again.

962
00:44:20,121 --> 00:44:22,791
- Well, I'm here to help. If you
need me.

963
00:44:23,541 --> 00:44:24,793
I mean, I know how much this
series means to you,

964
00:44:25,376 --> 00:44:27,796
so if I can help then I want to.

965
00:44:28,505 --> 00:44:31,341
- You're gonna help me lie to my
readers?

966
00:44:32,133 --> 00:44:33,802
- I read that piece you wrote on
Kyle and the tree.

967
00:44:34,260 --> 00:44:35,220
That wasn't a lie.

968
00:44:35,887 --> 00:44:37,806
And you encouraged us, dear
readers...

969
00:44:38,139 --> 00:44:39,557
(chuckles)

970
00:44:40,350 --> 00:44:41,810
...to do a small act of kindness
this holiday season.

971
00:44:42,268 --> 00:44:43,978
So, consider this mine.

972
00:44:44,771 --> 00:44:46,731
It is the most wonderful time of
the year after all.

973
00:44:47,232 --> 00:44:50,026
- Well, that is very kind.

974
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,028
Thank you.

975
00:44:52,737 --> 00:44:57,367
And have a good night at my
sister's house,

976
00:44:57,909 --> 00:44:59,828
which will never not be weird.

977
00:45:02,956 --> 00:45:06,209
(soft music)

978
00:45:07,460 --> 00:45:09,838
(soft music)

979
00:45:10,672 --> 00:45:12,841
(Nora): Dear Reader, Christmas
is a few days away

980
00:45:13,550 --> 00:45:16,803
and there is a new candidate,
Mr. G.,

981
00:45:17,262 --> 00:45:19,138
who after a bumpy start,

982
00:45:19,722 --> 00:45:21,516
I am finally going to get to
spend

983
00:45:22,016 --> 00:45:23,852
some one-on-one time with.

984
00:45:24,644 --> 00:45:25,854
Now, I'm not saying that this
writer

985
00:45:26,604 --> 00:45:28,773
is no longer a skeptic, because
I can assure you,

986
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:31,150
I still am, but...

987
00:45:34,279 --> 00:45:35,446
(sighs)

988
00:45:35,822 --> 00:45:37,782
Be honest. Okay.

989
00:45:42,495 --> 00:45:46,457
Christmas can be a challenging
time.

990
00:45:48,835 --> 00:45:51,296
For me, it is.

991
00:45:53,089 --> 00:45:54,132
(sighs)

992
00:45:56,384 --> 00:46:00,138
This experiment has offered me
more bites of the apple,

993
00:46:00,471 --> 00:46:02,140
if you will,

994
00:46:02,682 --> 00:46:05,643
than I have had in a long time.

995
00:46:06,144 --> 00:46:09,814
Well, will that lead to love?

996
00:46:10,315 --> 00:46:12,108
That is yet to be determined.

997
00:46:13,568 --> 00:46:17,572
(soft music)

998
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,532
- Okay, everybody, listen up,
all right?

999
00:46:20,074 --> 00:46:22,076
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

1000
00:46:22,869 --> 00:46:26,414
to the annual Winters Family
snowman building contest!

1001
00:46:27,123 --> 00:46:29,334
Unfortunately, Clark got stuck
at the bakery,

1002
00:46:29,751 --> 00:46:33,212
so Kyle, you and Lola

1003
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,840
are gonna be against Jack and
Aunt Nora,

1004
00:46:36,341 --> 00:46:37,467
and I am gonna be the ref.

1005
00:46:38,009 --> 00:46:41,095
Whoever builds the best snowman,

1006
00:46:41,638 --> 00:46:44,140
with full facial features, wins.

1007
00:46:44,766 --> 00:46:46,100
- And for the record, I never
lose.

1008
00:46:46,601 --> 00:46:47,977
- Ooh! I like that attitude.

1009
00:46:48,561 --> 00:46:52,565
- Okay, on your mark, get set,
go!

1010
00:46:52,941 --> 00:46:55,902
(all giggling)

1011
00:46:57,946 --> 00:46:58,947
(Adley): Perfect. (Kyle): All
right.

1012
00:46:59,238 --> 00:47:00,281
(grunts)

1013
00:47:01,824 --> 00:47:02,951
- Hmm, pretty good, pretty good.
- Let go. Right here.

1014
00:47:03,743 --> 00:47:05,620
- Perfect. On the top? (Kyle):
Uh, yeah.

1015
00:47:06,329 --> 00:47:07,038
- I think we have buttons in
here somewhere.

1016
00:47:08,206 --> 00:47:08,873
- Looking good, guys.

1017
00:47:09,374 --> 00:47:12,961
(overlapping excited chatter)

1018
00:47:13,294 --> 00:47:14,712
- Uh...

1019
00:47:15,463 --> 00:47:17,548
(Kyle): Okay, okay, look.
(Lola): Don't touch it.

1020
00:47:17,882 --> 00:47:19,968
(laughing)

1021
00:47:20,426 --> 00:47:21,761
- Nice try. - Nice try.

1022
00:47:22,178 --> 00:47:23,054
Gotta stable it, too.

1023
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:25,556
(Kyle): Yeah. - Aunt Nora's a
thief!

1024
00:47:26,182 --> 00:47:27,392
(Kyle): Uh-oh, oh, where's the
other--

1025
00:47:27,767 --> 00:47:28,977
Oh, there it is.

1026
00:47:29,686 --> 00:47:30,478
- Ah! (Adley): You lost your
hat!

1027
00:47:31,104 --> 00:47:33,147
- No! - Okay, I think I'm set,
okay.

1028
00:47:33,439 --> 00:47:34,649
- And...

1029
00:47:35,483 --> 00:47:36,234
Time's up.

1030
00:47:36,526 --> 00:47:37,902
- Yeah!

1031
00:47:39,237 --> 00:47:40,738
- Hmm.

1032
00:47:42,407 --> 00:47:44,617
The winner is...

1033
00:47:46,244 --> 00:47:47,829
...Kyle and Lola. - Yes! Yes!

1034
00:47:48,162 --> 00:47:48,997
- Good job!

1035
00:47:49,831 --> 00:47:50,748
- You two are the winners, you
get to open

1036
00:47:51,541 --> 00:47:52,291
the Christmas presents first on
Christmas morning!

1037
00:47:52,583 --> 00:47:53,793
- Yeah!

1038
00:47:54,460 --> 00:47:55,461
- You just picked it 'cause it's
a baker.

1039
00:47:55,962 --> 00:47:57,130
- No, no. - You know what?

1040
00:47:57,755 --> 00:47:59,007
You guys only won because we let
them.

1041
00:47:59,340 --> 00:48:00,925
- Yeah, okay.

1042
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:02,927
(all laughing)

1043
00:48:03,386 --> 00:48:04,220
- Can we call it even?

1044
00:48:04,971 --> 00:48:07,682
(Nora): I got her this time. -
You totally got me!

1045
00:48:08,474 --> 00:48:09,767
- I'm going low. You go high. -
Okay, I'm going high.

1046
00:48:10,268 --> 00:48:11,936
(all cheering indistinctly)

1047
00:48:12,854 --> 00:48:14,272
(Nora): Right in the chest. Oh!

1048
00:48:14,814 --> 00:48:17,775
- Really well. See for yourself.

1049
00:48:18,443 --> 00:48:22,155
- High five! - Oh, she's done!
She's done!

1050
00:48:22,572 --> 00:48:25,158
- Oh, that looks fun.

1051
00:48:26,034 --> 00:48:28,453
Listen, I don't think I'm gonna
be making it down tonight.

1052
00:48:29,287 --> 00:48:31,706
- Come on, we still have a few
days left until Christmas.

1053
00:48:32,373 --> 00:48:33,916
- Yes, and I'm gonna try to make
it work

1054
00:48:34,584 --> 00:48:36,044
but we're gonna need a Christmas
miracle.

1055
00:48:36,586 --> 00:48:37,587
We're really short staffed.

1056
00:48:38,004 --> 00:48:39,297
- Well, don't worry.

1057
00:48:39,922 --> 00:48:41,841
Kyle's in good, very festive
hands.

1058
00:48:42,300 --> 00:48:43,885
- Switch. - Oh that's it.

1059
00:48:44,343 --> 00:48:45,136
- Can we call it even?

1060
00:48:45,511 --> 00:48:47,055
- You look happy.

1061
00:48:47,513 --> 00:48:49,265
- You know what? I am.

1062
00:48:50,016 --> 00:48:51,726
And I think I wanna make this a
family tradition.

1063
00:48:52,143 --> 00:48:53,561
- What, sleeping over

1064
00:48:54,187 --> 00:48:55,480
at your co-worker's sister's
house?

1065
00:48:55,772 --> 00:48:57,523
- Uh, no.

1066
00:48:58,107 --> 00:48:59,275
Us spending family time
together.

1067
00:48:59,901 --> 00:49:01,778
I feel like we're seriously
lagging

1068
00:49:02,403 --> 00:49:03,279
in the family traditions
department.

1069
00:49:03,988 --> 00:49:05,656
- Yeah, I would like that.
(cellphone pings)

1070
00:49:06,282 --> 00:49:08,284
Oh, listen, I gotta go. Love ya.
Bye!

1071
00:49:08,659 --> 00:49:10,620
- Come on, Sis.

1072
00:49:10,953 --> 00:49:13,331
Oh, nice one.

1073
00:49:13,831 --> 00:49:16,334
- Winning snowman! - Cheese!

1074
00:49:17,168 --> 00:49:18,920
Hey, Kyle, uh, do you wanna come
with me to the bakery?

1075
00:49:19,629 --> 00:49:20,421
We're meeting my dad to finish
up some baking

1076
00:49:20,963 --> 00:49:22,048
for our booth at the fundraiser.

1077
00:49:22,465 --> 00:49:23,925
(cellphone chimes)

1078
00:49:24,425 --> 00:49:26,594
- Uncle Jack, can we go too?

1079
00:49:26,886 --> 00:49:28,096
- Uh...

1080
00:49:28,846 --> 00:49:30,640
- Oh, um, I've got something
else I've gotta do.

1081
00:49:31,557 --> 00:49:33,101
- Nora, don't forget to drop off
the deposit at the train museum.

1082
00:49:33,851 --> 00:49:35,144
Larry is gonna meet you there at
4:00.

1083
00:49:35,853 --> 00:49:37,980
- Okay, I'll see you later. -
Come on, kiddo.

1084
00:49:38,272 --> 00:49:39,273
- Bye.

1085
00:49:40,983 --> 00:49:42,443
- She cares, Mom. - I know.

1086
00:49:43,194 --> 00:49:44,612
I just wish she'd be a bit more
present, is all.

1087
00:49:45,446 --> 00:49:47,240
You know, holidays are about
spending time with family.

1088
00:49:47,990 --> 00:49:50,118
Not trying to cram in as much as
work as possible.

1089
00:49:50,409 --> 00:49:51,536
- I know.

1090
00:49:52,537 --> 00:49:54,122
(soft music)

1091
00:49:54,664 --> 00:49:56,124
- Okay, Max, what is going on?

1092
00:49:56,791 --> 00:49:58,251
- You might wanna sit down for
this.

1093
00:49:58,501 --> 00:50:00,002
- Oh.

1094
00:50:06,342 --> 00:50:08,136
- I know this whole

1095
00:50:08,845 --> 00:50:10,555
how to fall in love by Christmas
thing

1096
00:50:11,222 --> 00:50:13,141
is kinda your worst nightmare. -
Uh-huh.

1097
00:50:13,808 --> 00:50:15,560
- But I think it's kinda great.

1098
00:50:16,394 --> 00:50:18,437
You and Jack, you're creating
something that's unique,

1099
00:50:18,980 --> 00:50:22,150
compelling, and kinda beautiful.

1100
00:50:22,650 --> 00:50:23,860
(light music)

1101
00:50:24,569 --> 00:50:26,737
- Why do you look like you're
gonna pass out?

1102
00:50:27,363 --> 00:50:29,073
- Because I don't think it's
enough.

1103
00:50:29,490 --> 00:50:31,534
It's the board, Nora.

1104
00:50:31,909 --> 00:50:34,662
CEO evaluation.

1105
00:50:35,454 --> 00:50:37,206
They're putting measures in
place to vote you out.

1106
00:50:37,915 --> 00:50:40,001
I guess the Take 2 Heart deal is
a bit shaky

1107
00:50:40,459 --> 00:50:42,336
after the low engagement.

1108
00:50:42,879 --> 00:50:44,505
- Why are you telling me this?

1109
00:50:45,173 --> 00:50:46,257
- Because I don't agree with the
direction

1110
00:50:46,716 --> 00:50:48,176
they wanna take Prism in.

1111
00:50:51,971 --> 00:50:55,266
- Yeah, of course. So, what do
you think?

1112
00:50:55,766 --> 00:50:58,186
- These are just phenomenal.

1113
00:50:58,895 --> 00:51:00,146
Some of your best work yet,
Jack.

1114
00:51:00,855 --> 00:51:02,190
- Well, I'm glad the
photography's authentic

1115
00:51:02,690 --> 00:51:04,192
because not everything is.

1116
00:51:04,609 --> 00:51:05,651
- What do you mean?

1117
00:51:06,277 --> 00:51:07,570
- This whole falling in love
thing.

1118
00:51:08,070 --> 00:51:09,280
I don't know how real it is.

1119
00:51:09,989 --> 00:51:12,783
- Well, with work like this,
there is no doubt

1120
00:51:13,618 --> 00:51:15,203
Prism is gonna be offering you
that photography contract.

1121
00:51:15,703 --> 00:51:16,829
Get you that home base.

1122
00:51:17,496 --> 00:51:19,290
- When I said that, I meant a
gallery,

1123
00:51:19,707 --> 00:51:20,958
not another website.

1124
00:51:21,667 --> 00:51:24,462
- Another website pays quite a
lot of money.

1125
00:51:25,129 --> 00:51:26,672
- I don't wanna give up on the
gallery.

1126
00:51:27,215 --> 00:51:28,341
- I'm gonna keep working on it.

1127
00:51:28,716 --> 00:51:30,218
In the meantime,

1128
00:51:31,093 --> 00:51:33,221
you keep killing it like this
and you are going to have

1129
00:51:37,141 --> 00:51:38,935
with Level Eleven right now.
Talk soon.

1130
00:51:43,981 --> 00:51:46,400
Hi. Yeah, this is Sara Miller.

1131
00:51:46,901 --> 00:51:48,152
Look, I have some information

1132
00:51:48,778 --> 00:51:50,238
I would just love to share with
you

1133
00:51:51,113 --> 00:51:53,241
about Jack's assignment with
Nora Winters over at Prism.

1134
00:51:53,991 --> 00:51:56,244
Apparently, there is some
fabrication going on.

1135
00:51:58,704 --> 00:52:00,915
- Hmm. So, what do we do?

1136
00:52:01,540 --> 00:52:02,625
- We find a way to prove to the
board

1137
00:52:03,292 --> 00:52:04,001
that their motion shouldn't go
forward.

1138
00:52:04,710 --> 00:52:06,212
- Haven't they already made up
their minds?

1139
00:52:06,796 --> 00:52:07,588
- They still need a majority
vote.

1140
00:52:08,130 --> 00:52:09,507
Christine, she's on the fence.

1141
00:52:09,966 --> 00:52:11,592
Nora, we can fix this.

1142
00:52:12,385 --> 00:52:13,970
And the way we're gonna do it is
through your column.

1143
00:52:15,221 --> 00:52:16,347
(sighs)

1144
00:52:16,681 --> 00:52:20,226
(soft music)

1145
00:52:21,894 --> 00:52:22,979
(sighs)

1146
00:52:25,523 --> 00:52:26,482
(cellphone pings)

1147
00:52:31,153 --> 00:52:32,280
- Hmm.

1148
00:52:48,754 --> 00:52:50,798
I need some advice.

1149
00:52:51,465 --> 00:52:52,425
Can you meet me at the Christmas
market?

1150
00:52:52,842 --> 00:52:53,968
Hot cocoa's on me.

1151
00:52:54,302 --> 00:52:56,554
(soft music)

1152
00:53:00,057 --> 00:53:03,311
So, Take 2 Heart

1153
00:53:04,270 --> 00:53:06,188
isn't thrilled with the content
and the Prism board

1154
00:53:06,856 --> 00:53:08,524
is actively talking about
replacing me.

1155
00:53:08,816 --> 00:53:10,318
- Okay.

1156
00:53:11,110 --> 00:53:13,529
Have you ever done a SWOT
analysis before?

1157
00:53:14,030 --> 00:53:17,158
- Uh, strength, weaknesses,

1158
00:53:17,616 --> 00:53:19,327
opportunities, threats.

1159
00:53:20,119 --> 00:53:21,620
Um, yeah, I've done one for my
business

1160
00:53:22,204 --> 00:53:23,748
but I've never done it for
myself.

1161
00:53:24,248 --> 00:53:27,043
- Okay. Strengths as a CEO.

1162
00:53:29,045 --> 00:53:30,338
- Uh...

1163
00:53:32,173 --> 00:53:34,633
I...

1164
00:53:35,301 --> 00:53:38,095
am hardworking, trustworthy,
independent.

1165
00:53:40,139 --> 00:53:43,351
I founded a company and grew it
to what it is today.

1166
00:53:44,894 --> 00:53:46,354
- And your weaknesses?

1167
00:53:48,272 --> 00:53:50,107
- Uh...

1168
00:53:50,441 --> 00:53:52,818
I can be...

1169
00:53:54,737 --> 00:53:56,072
...narrow-minded,

1170
00:53:56,405 --> 00:53:58,532
to a fault.

1171
00:53:58,824 --> 00:54:00,201
(sighs)

1172
00:54:00,493 --> 00:54:02,661
You know,

1173
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,498
we spend our whole lives

1174
00:54:05,956 --> 00:54:07,875
trying to be something,

1175
00:54:08,334 --> 00:54:09,377
trying to do something,

1176
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,629
trying to achieve something.

1177
00:54:13,255 --> 00:54:15,925
And I mean, in the end...

1178
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,388
...this is all that matters.
This...

1179
00:54:21,180 --> 00:54:24,350
This old-fashioned human
connection.

1180
00:54:25,059 --> 00:54:27,645
- Which, I would say, is your
opportunity.

1181
00:54:30,398 --> 00:54:32,358
- And my threat?

1182
00:54:32,608 --> 00:54:34,026
Hmm.

1183
00:54:34,443 --> 00:54:35,903
If I don't do this,

1184
00:54:36,570 --> 00:54:38,864
everything I built, my lifestyle
brand,

1185
00:54:39,532 --> 00:54:42,410
by women, for women, to empower
women,

1186
00:54:42,785 --> 00:54:44,787
is just gone.

1187
00:54:45,079 --> 00:54:46,414
You know?

1188
00:54:48,332 --> 00:54:51,001
I wouldn't even mind bringing in
the younger readers,

1189
00:54:51,669 --> 00:54:54,422
I just don't wanna lose the
connection

1190
00:54:55,214 --> 00:54:57,133
we have with the ones that are
already there.

1191
00:54:57,967 --> 00:55:00,219
- Well, I think we're looking at
another opportunity here.

1192
00:55:00,928 --> 00:55:03,347
I know it's scary to put
yourself out there

1193
00:55:04,056 --> 00:55:05,433
but think of all the women who
could relate

1194
00:55:06,308 --> 00:55:07,435
to your journey of opening up
your heart again.

1195
00:55:08,060 --> 00:55:09,728
Partnership with Take 2 Heart,
or not.

1196
00:55:11,772 --> 00:55:13,149
- Uh.

1197
00:55:13,816 --> 00:55:17,278
So, I dug a little deeper on
your work.

1198
00:55:17,653 --> 00:55:18,571
- Oh yeah? - Hmm.

1199
00:55:19,071 --> 00:55:21,532
- What'd you think? - Hmm.

1200
00:55:22,032 --> 00:55:24,118
You have a very unique eye.

1201
00:55:25,453 --> 00:55:26,620
- Was that a compliment?

1202
00:55:27,121 --> 00:55:28,456
- It was more of a statement.

1203
00:55:29,081 --> 00:55:30,541
(laughs) - Was that a laugh?

1204
00:55:31,250 --> 00:55:33,586
- Um, more of a positive
emotional reaction.

1205
00:55:33,919 --> 00:55:35,546
(both laugh)

1206
00:55:37,173 --> 00:55:38,340
Oh.

1207
00:55:41,135 --> 00:55:43,304
- Look, I... I know this isn't
easy

1208
00:55:43,929 --> 00:55:45,181
but you're embracing the
challenge.

1209
00:55:45,931 --> 00:55:47,183
And I think if you lean into the
Christmas spirit

1210
00:55:47,850 --> 00:55:49,477
just a little bit more, you
might find

1211
00:55:50,186 --> 00:55:51,645
exactly what you're looking for.

1212
00:55:53,022 --> 00:55:55,524
(soft music)

1213
00:55:56,066 --> 00:55:58,486
Hmm. Whoa, that's, that was...

1214
00:55:59,028 --> 00:56:00,154
- Oh. (laughs)

1215
00:56:00,529 --> 00:56:02,156
Oh, no. - Yeah.

1216
00:56:02,531 --> 00:56:04,283
- No way. - Nope.

1217
00:56:04,742 --> 00:56:05,701
- That's like, I mean,

1218
00:56:06,285 --> 00:56:08,370
I didn't wanna kiss you and
yeah,

1219
00:56:08,913 --> 00:56:09,914
I mean, you don't wanna kiss me.

1220
00:56:10,456 --> 00:56:11,415
- No, it -- - No, right. Gross.

1221
00:56:11,707 --> 00:56:12,500
- Gross.

1222
00:56:12,875 --> 00:56:14,502
(both chuckle)

1223
00:56:15,169 --> 00:56:16,629
What do you say, do you wanna,

1224
00:56:17,421 --> 00:56:18,631
do you wanna get outta here and
grab a bite to eat?

1225
00:56:19,048 --> 00:56:20,799
- Oh, I, I'd love to

1226
00:56:21,550 --> 00:56:25,262
but I am having dinner with
Geoffrey in an hour.

1227
00:56:25,679 --> 00:56:26,972
- A real date, huh?

1228
00:56:27,681 --> 00:56:29,225
Well, do you think I should
photograph it?

1229
00:56:29,934 --> 00:56:31,519
Get some actual photos with the
actual guy

1230
00:56:32,144 --> 00:56:33,229
for this new non-fiction
version?

1231
00:56:33,979 --> 00:56:35,648
- Actually, I think I should fly
solo on this one.

1232
00:56:36,190 --> 00:56:37,942
- You won't even know I'm there.

1233
00:56:38,776 --> 00:56:41,278
And this is kinda the reason for
the series, after all.

1234
00:56:41,570 --> 00:56:42,696
(sighs)

1235
00:56:44,323 --> 00:56:46,200
- Okay. Okay, fine.

1236
00:56:46,784 --> 00:56:49,453
We're gonna be at Zini's at
8:00.

1237
00:56:49,745 --> 00:56:51,372
And um...

1238
00:56:52,623 --> 00:56:54,875
I-I won't see you there.

1239
00:56:55,167 --> 00:56:56,085
(laughs)

1240
00:56:57,545 --> 00:56:58,546
(sighs)

1241
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,257
Oh, man.

1242
00:57:01,715 --> 00:57:02,967
(clears throat) Hey...

1243
00:57:04,468 --> 00:57:07,054
Thank you again for your help.

1244
00:57:07,388 --> 00:57:09,640
- Happy to.

1245
00:57:10,182 --> 00:57:13,060
- Hmm. All right. See ya soon.

1246
00:57:13,352 --> 00:57:14,562
- See ya.

1247
00:57:18,065 --> 00:57:19,233
(chuckles)

1248
00:57:19,567 --> 00:57:21,569
(soft music)

1249
00:57:29,535 --> 00:57:30,911
(sending a text)

1250
00:57:34,707 --> 00:57:36,041
(cellphone pings)

1251
00:57:41,672 --> 00:57:42,673
(sending a text)

1252
00:57:48,262 --> 00:57:50,598
(joyful music)

1253
00:57:52,433 --> 00:57:54,310
(Nora sighs)

1254
00:57:55,978 --> 00:57:57,271
(sighs)

1255
00:57:58,522 --> 00:58:00,065
(sighs)

1256
00:58:00,441 --> 00:58:02,276
- Dear Reader,

1257
00:58:03,068 --> 00:58:06,030
I wanna tell you a story about a
person in my life.

1258
00:58:06,488 --> 00:58:09,617
We will call him Space.

1259
00:58:11,619 --> 00:58:15,497
Now, Space has really stepped it
up for me

1260
00:58:15,914 --> 00:58:17,541
this holiday season

1261
00:58:18,042 --> 00:58:21,337
but he really helped me see

1262
00:58:21,962 --> 00:58:23,422
that the people that I always
thought

1263
00:58:24,214 --> 00:58:27,092
were so much happier than I was
during the holidays

1264
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,639
were just letting themselves be
happy.

1265
00:58:32,389 --> 00:58:36,435
They were leaning in to the
magic of the season.

1266
00:58:36,852 --> 00:58:39,396
Which, dear reader,

1267
00:58:40,022 --> 00:58:42,149
is something I am going to try
to do.

1268
00:58:42,566 --> 00:58:44,610
For real, this time.

1269
00:58:44,902 --> 00:58:45,986
(sighs)

1270
00:58:46,236 --> 00:58:47,112
Hmm.

1271
00:58:48,530 --> 00:58:49,823
Ahh.

1272
00:58:51,116 --> 00:58:54,828
(joyful music)

1273
00:59:02,211 --> 00:59:04,254
(Nora): Are you kidding me?

1274
00:59:05,005 --> 00:59:06,590
- I would never kid about
something as serious

1275
00:59:07,049 --> 00:59:07,925
as radio show contests.

1276
00:59:08,717 --> 00:59:11,679
- It's just so wild. You won
multiple prizes on air.

1277
00:59:12,388 --> 00:59:13,681
- Well, what can I say, I'm a
lucky guy.

1278
00:59:14,223 --> 00:59:15,974
- Oh. - In more ways than one.

1279
00:59:16,225 --> 00:59:17,643
- Aw.

1280
00:59:19,353 --> 00:59:21,146
It was fun tonight. (Geoffrey):
Yeah, I agree.

1281
00:59:21,772 --> 00:59:22,981
(camera shutter snaps) (Nora
chuckles)

1282
00:59:23,482 --> 00:59:24,775
- Listen, my sister is having

1283
00:59:25,442 --> 00:59:26,944
this dinner thing at her house
tomorrow

1284
00:59:27,778 --> 00:59:29,196
and I know we just started
seeing each other but I was --

1285
00:59:29,822 --> 00:59:31,115
- I would love to go. - You
would?

1286
00:59:31,490 --> 00:59:32,574
- Yes, I would.

1287
00:59:33,033 --> 00:59:34,410
(camera shutter snaps)

1288
00:59:39,873 --> 00:59:43,711
(soft music)

1289
00:59:53,303 --> 00:59:55,222
- Okay, so according to Adley's
list,

1290
00:59:55,764 --> 00:59:57,474
we need to make custom ornaments

1291
00:59:58,142 --> 00:59:59,727
for all of the silent auction
winners,

1292
01:00:00,769 --> 01:00:03,021
and she gave me a rough sketch
of what they should look like.

1293
01:00:03,731 --> 01:00:05,649
- Do you guys always do this
level of detail?

1294
01:00:05,983 --> 01:00:07,568
- We try to.

1295
01:00:08,068 --> 01:00:09,737
Actually, the last few years,

1296
01:00:10,529 --> 01:00:12,614
Adley really has had to shoulder
most of it.

1297
01:00:13,157 --> 01:00:15,576
But she has done a fantastic job

1298
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,745
keeping my mother's vision
alive.

1299
01:00:19,747 --> 01:00:21,749
(cellphone vibrates) Oh.

1300
01:00:22,458 --> 01:00:24,501
Shoot. Sorry. - No, no, go
ahead.

1301
01:00:24,793 --> 01:00:26,378
- Hello?

1302
01:00:27,004 --> 01:00:28,756
- Okay, so, good news and bad
news.

1303
01:00:29,214 --> 01:00:30,007
I feel like you and Jack

1304
01:00:30,674 --> 01:00:31,550
are really starting to find your
groove.

1305
01:00:32,259 --> 01:00:35,345
But Take 2 Heart wants to avoid
any potential

1306
01:00:36,180 --> 01:00:38,557
girl falls in love with a guy
right under her nose angle.

1307
01:00:39,850 --> 01:00:40,768
It's a little too convenient.

1308
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,478
I'd stick with Mr. G., if I were
you.

1309
01:00:42,978 --> 01:00:44,313
Lean into that. - Yeah, okay.

1310
01:00:44,980 --> 01:00:47,149
Um, I'm... I don't have feelings
for Jack.

1311
01:00:47,608 --> 01:00:48,984
I mean, I mean, Space.

1312
01:00:49,651 --> 01:00:50,944
- Sorry, I can't really talk
right now.

1313
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:52,488
Chat soon. Bye.

1314
01:00:52,780 --> 01:00:54,490
- But...

1315
01:00:59,244 --> 01:01:00,788
Sorry about that.

1316
01:01:03,499 --> 01:01:04,917
- Should I uh, stick to
photography?

1317
01:01:05,209 --> 01:01:07,044
(laughs)

1318
01:01:07,711 --> 01:01:09,338
You might wanna not quit your
day job.

1319
01:01:09,963 --> 01:01:11,590
- Okay. I mean, it's -- - It's
cute.

1320
01:01:12,216 --> 01:01:13,592
- It's like a tr-- - Oh, now
it's a,

1321
01:01:14,176 --> 01:01:14,885
I see it's a tree. - There you
go,

1322
01:01:15,594 --> 01:01:16,762
there's the tree. - Yeah,
there's the tree.

1323
01:01:17,137 --> 01:01:18,806
(joyful music)

1324
01:01:20,808 --> 01:01:22,351
- We'll take care of it. We'll
take care of it.

1325
01:01:22,851 --> 01:01:24,102
- I got the fancy ornaments.

1326
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,688
(sighs) - You forgot.

1327
01:01:27,147 --> 01:01:28,774
- What? I... I forgot?

1328
01:01:29,191 --> 01:01:30,317
(gasps) Oh, the form!

1329
01:01:30,943 --> 01:01:32,569
Oh, Adley, I'm sorry. You know
what?

1330
01:01:33,278 --> 01:01:33,987
I'll go talk to him. I've got my
checkbook.

1331
01:01:34,488 --> 01:01:36,240
- No, no, no, I handled it.

1332
01:01:36,740 --> 01:01:40,244
- Oh. Okay, then we're good?

1333
01:01:40,786 --> 01:01:44,373
- No. No, we're not good, Nora.

1334
01:01:44,706 --> 01:01:45,833
(sighs) Look,

1335
01:01:46,458 --> 01:01:48,418
I know that Prism is important
to you,

1336
01:01:49,086 --> 01:01:51,964
but you and I, we made a promise
to Mom

1337
01:01:52,506 --> 01:01:54,800
to run this foundation together.

1338
01:01:55,509 --> 01:01:57,094
And sometimes it feels like I am
the only one

1339
01:01:57,678 --> 01:01:58,846
who takes that promise
seriously.

1340
01:01:59,721 --> 01:02:01,390
- Okay, Adley, you do this. You
do this every time.

1341
01:02:02,182 --> 01:02:05,811
It's every time this idea that I
abandoned the family,

1342
01:02:06,562 --> 01:02:08,605
or whatever, because didn't take
over the bakery.

1343
01:02:09,231 --> 01:02:10,440
- That's kinda exactly what you
did.

1344
01:02:10,983 --> 01:02:11,859
- You know what? You're right.

1345
01:02:12,651 --> 01:02:13,777
I did follow my passions and my
dreams,

1346
01:02:14,444 --> 01:02:15,362
and they didn't involve making
cookies.

1347
01:02:15,904 --> 01:02:17,281
But I am always there for you.

1348
01:02:17,948 --> 01:02:20,701
- Actions speak louder than
words, Nora,

1349
01:02:21,368 --> 01:02:22,953
and your actions speak loud and
clear.

1350
01:02:23,245 --> 01:02:24,454
(sighs)

1351
01:02:26,540 --> 01:02:29,293
- Everything okay? - Uh, no.
Apparently not.

1352
01:02:29,918 --> 01:02:30,878
- She's just stressed. - Yeah,
okay.

1353
01:02:31,336 --> 01:02:32,963
You should take those.

1354
01:02:33,463 --> 01:02:35,257
I should go. - No, hey, no.

1355
01:02:35,757 --> 01:02:38,343
I think quite the opposite.

1356
01:02:38,886 --> 01:02:40,679
I think you're very wanted here.

1357
01:02:41,805 --> 01:02:43,223
Come on.

1358
01:02:47,477 --> 01:02:49,897
(soft music)

1359
01:02:50,647 --> 01:02:51,481
- And I told him, "No, there's
no way

1360
01:02:52,316 --> 01:02:54,151
we're gonna take that deal. My
client deserves better."

1361
01:02:54,776 --> 01:02:55,819
Excuse me, pass the potatoes,
please.

1362
01:02:56,486 --> 01:02:57,487
- You know, that reminds me of
the time--

1363
01:02:58,196 --> 01:02:58,989
- And they did, they came up on
their offer,

1364
01:02:59,489 --> 01:03:00,282
which of course, I always do.

1365
01:03:00,949 --> 01:03:01,909
You know, I say the client comes
first.

1366
01:03:02,367 --> 01:03:03,911
That's my motto.

1367
01:03:04,703 --> 01:03:05,829
And then, of course, there was
another time,

1368
01:03:06,580 --> 01:03:07,414
ooh, hold on here for a second,
they got away,

1369
01:03:07,998 --> 01:03:09,207
and then, there was another
time,

1370
01:03:09,833 --> 01:03:11,001
a client comes in from out of
town...

1371
01:03:13,378 --> 01:03:14,713
...and you know, he says,

1372
01:03:15,380 --> 01:03:16,882
"Hey, I need you to do
something, right?"

1373
01:03:17,507 --> 01:03:17,925
He comes in completely
unannounced.

1374
01:03:18,425 --> 01:03:18,926
And you know. He says,

1375
01:03:19,509 --> 01:03:20,510
"I need you to take care of
XYZ."

1376
01:03:21,219 --> 01:03:22,596
And I can't tell you what XYZ
is, of course,

1377
01:03:23,388 --> 01:03:24,640
'cause that's completely
confidential, but he says,

1378
01:03:25,390 --> 01:03:27,684
"Need it to be done, ASAP." So,
and-and I did it.

1379
01:03:28,435 --> 01:03:29,728
You know, what can I say? I'm
good at what I do.

1380
01:03:30,395 --> 01:03:31,939
You know what I mean? Client
comes first.

1381
01:03:36,318 --> 01:03:37,903
(Nora): I'm glad you liked the
potatoes.

1382
01:03:38,445 --> 01:03:39,321
- Oh, everything was wonderful.

1383
01:03:39,821 --> 01:03:41,281
The roast was a little dry,

1384
01:03:41,907 --> 01:03:43,533
but a trick my mother used to
use,

1385
01:03:44,409 --> 01:03:45,953
she'd put just a little bit of
water in the base of the tin.

1386
01:03:46,578 --> 01:03:47,496
Keeps everything nice and moist.

1387
01:03:48,246 --> 01:03:49,456
- Oh, well, I'll make sure I
pass along the tip.

1388
01:03:49,790 --> 01:03:51,124
(chuckles)

1389
01:03:55,170 --> 01:03:56,088
Ooh.

1390
01:03:56,505 --> 01:03:58,215
(chuckles awkwardly)

1391
01:03:58,757 --> 01:04:00,801
- So, I will see you tomorrow.

1392
01:04:01,343 --> 01:04:02,427
I'm excited for the fundraiser.

1393
01:04:03,011 --> 01:04:05,305
- Oh, I'll see you there. -
Okay.

1394
01:04:05,681 --> 01:04:06,974
(door opening)

1395
01:04:10,519 --> 01:04:11,436
(sighs)

1396
01:04:14,398 --> 01:04:15,816
- Don't say anything.

1397
01:04:16,149 --> 01:04:17,818
- It's late.

1398
01:04:18,568 --> 01:04:19,444
You should probably just stay
here for the night.

1399
01:04:19,945 --> 01:04:20,862
Your room's already made up.

1400
01:04:21,238 --> 01:04:21,989
- You know what?

1401
01:04:22,698 --> 01:04:23,991
I should uh, I should put Kyle
to bed.

1402
01:04:26,743 --> 01:04:27,536
- I don't know, I think I
should--

1403
01:04:27,953 --> 01:04:29,121
- I just miss you.

1404
01:04:30,455 --> 01:04:32,416
I know that you have so much
going on.

1405
01:04:32,916 --> 01:04:35,711
It's honestly so impressive.

1406
01:04:36,128 --> 01:04:37,754
- Well, look at you.

1407
01:04:38,296 --> 01:04:39,881
You have this beautiful family,

1408
01:04:40,507 --> 01:04:42,551
and this business that people
love.

1409
01:04:43,176 --> 01:04:44,845
And every year, you throw this
event

1410
01:04:45,387 --> 01:04:46,013
that actually makes a difference

1411
01:04:46,513 --> 01:04:47,180
in people's lives.

1412
01:04:47,848 --> 01:04:49,933
I mean, you're the one that's
impressive.

1413
01:04:51,643 --> 01:04:53,687
And I'm sorry I don't tell you
that enough.

1414
01:04:55,689 --> 01:04:57,941
And I miss you, too.

1415
01:04:58,275 --> 01:05:00,277
I love you.

1416
01:05:00,569 --> 01:05:02,362
(sniffs)

1417
01:05:02,654 --> 01:05:04,281
(sniffs)

1418
01:05:04,698 --> 01:05:07,034
- Don't cry. (laughs)

1419
01:05:07,868 --> 01:05:09,244
I guess you should just uh, stay
the night, then?

1420
01:05:09,995 --> 01:05:13,123
- Can I borrow some pajamas? -
Yeah, I got lots.

1421
01:05:13,498 --> 01:05:15,709
So, Geoffrey...

1422
01:05:16,084 --> 01:05:18,003
He seems nice.

1423
01:05:18,462 --> 01:05:19,796
- Yeah, he is, I think.

1424
01:05:20,338 --> 01:05:21,506
I mean, we have a lot in common.

1425
01:05:22,007 --> 01:05:25,260
- Jack... he's a lovely guy.

1426
01:05:25,677 --> 01:05:26,762
- He's just a friend.

1427
01:05:27,471 --> 01:05:29,264
- I always thought that was a
funny saying.

1428
01:05:29,681 --> 01:05:30,974
- What do you mean?

1429
01:05:31,391 --> 01:05:33,727
- I think a soulmate

1430
01:05:34,102 --> 01:05:35,854
is just a friend

1431
01:05:36,521 --> 01:05:38,065
you happen to have deeper
chemistry with.

1432
01:05:38,899 --> 01:05:41,651
You know, the kind of friend
your soul just knows.

1433
01:05:42,069 --> 01:05:44,279
- That is so cheesy.

1434
01:05:45,030 --> 01:05:47,449
- I know, I know, but I'm just
saying, you know,

1435
01:05:48,241 --> 01:05:49,076
there's a lot of people out
there that you'll have

1436
01:05:49,910 --> 01:05:51,078
a deeper chemistry with in your
lifetime.

1437
01:05:53,371 --> 01:05:56,625
But not everyone will make you
feel like home.

1438
01:05:56,917 --> 01:05:58,251
- Hmm.

1439
01:05:58,585 --> 01:06:00,921
(soft music)

1440
01:06:03,882 --> 01:06:04,883
(sighs)

1441
01:06:05,967 --> 01:06:07,094
(cellphone chimes)

1442
01:06:08,678 --> 01:06:10,639
- Sara? -

1443
01:06:11,306 --> 01:06:13,100
Level Eleven is sending over a
job offer.

1444
01:06:16,728 --> 01:06:18,146
and they absolutely love it.

1445
01:06:18,522 --> 01:06:20,440
- Is that legal?

1446
01:06:21,233 --> 01:06:22,984
I mean, my work for Prism is
owned by Prism, right?

1447
01:06:23,652 --> 01:06:24,111
- It's not like they're
publishing it,

1448
01:06:24,778 --> 01:06:25,445
they're just using it to
evaluate you.

1449
01:06:26,154 --> 01:06:28,115
Anyhow, there should be an offer
coming soon.

1450
01:06:28,782 --> 01:06:30,117
Keep an eye on your email.

1451
01:06:30,617 --> 01:06:31,451
Gotta go. Bye.

1452
01:06:32,994 --> 01:06:35,288
(both sigh)

1453
01:06:38,208 --> 01:06:39,292
(sighs)

1454
01:06:42,420 --> 01:06:43,797
(groans)

1455
01:06:45,882 --> 01:06:48,093
(soft music)

1456
01:06:51,304 --> 01:06:54,141
(Nora): Ooh! What are you doing
up?

1457
01:06:54,641 --> 01:06:56,226
- What are you doing up?

1458
01:06:56,768 --> 01:06:59,396
- I asked you first. (giggles)

1459
01:06:59,980 --> 01:07:02,149
Oh, I was having trouble
sleeping.

1460
01:07:04,151 --> 01:07:05,861
Thought I'd get a midnight
snack.

1461
01:07:06,236 --> 01:07:09,030
- Hmm. Chestnut?

1462
01:07:09,447 --> 01:07:10,657
- Don't mind if I do.

1463
01:07:12,325 --> 01:07:14,703
(breathes deeply)

1464
01:07:15,370 --> 01:07:17,080
- I wanted to edit some of the
new photos.

1465
01:07:17,581 --> 01:07:19,332
This is one of my favorites.

1466
01:07:19,624 --> 01:07:21,293
- Hmm.

1467
01:07:21,918 --> 01:07:24,045
- I love how alive you look in
these.

1468
01:07:24,713 --> 01:07:26,882
- You always shoot in black and
white?

1469
01:07:27,382 --> 01:07:29,009
- It was my grandpa's style.

1470
01:07:29,676 --> 01:07:31,178
Said it got rid of anything
superfluous.

1471
01:07:32,596 --> 01:07:34,181
- I like that.

1472
01:07:35,140 --> 01:07:36,892
- And this gallery placement
that I'm trying to land,

1473
01:07:37,601 --> 01:07:39,186
it was the first gallery to
feature his work

1474
01:07:39,603 --> 01:07:40,979
all those years ago.

1475
01:07:41,479 --> 01:07:43,023
Yeah, he loved that place.

1476
01:07:43,815 --> 01:07:45,901
- Hmm. I think it's really brave
that you went for it.

1477
01:07:46,651 --> 01:07:48,361
- I just got tired of feeling
like I wasn't doing

1478
01:07:49,070 --> 01:07:52,324
everything I could to live the
life I loved.

1479
01:07:52,616 --> 01:07:54,201
- Hmm.

1480
01:07:55,952 --> 01:07:58,121
Life you love. Hmm.

1481
01:08:00,707 --> 01:08:02,500
I'm gonna take another chestnut.

1482
01:08:02,834 --> 01:08:04,794
(chuckles)

1483
01:08:05,295 --> 01:08:06,796
I'll see you in the morning?

1484
01:08:07,255 --> 01:08:08,548
- Night, Nora. - Night.

1485
01:08:08,882 --> 01:08:11,218
(soft music)

1486
01:08:13,637 --> 01:08:16,598
(■■)

1487
01:08:19,726 --> 01:08:24,064
So, Adley and Clark finished all
the baking last night.

1488
01:08:24,689 --> 01:08:27,192
And they are at the museum
setting up

1489
01:08:27,984 --> 01:08:31,613
and they want us to finish
stuffing these gift boxes.

1490
01:08:32,030 --> 01:08:33,823
- You got it, boss.

1491
01:08:34,407 --> 01:08:36,618
- We wanna put one Christmas
tree

1492
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:38,995
and one gingerbread in each box.

1493
01:08:39,454 --> 01:08:40,497
- Okay. - Here's a glove.

1494
01:08:40,789 --> 01:08:42,082
- Thanks.

1495
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:44,251
(cellphone pings) - Oh!

1496
01:08:45,835 --> 01:08:47,254
I've been waiting for this.

1497
01:08:48,421 --> 01:08:49,547
Oh.

1498
01:08:51,633 --> 01:08:53,969
- What's up? - It's from Max.

1499
01:08:54,719 --> 01:08:57,847
The board has scheduled a call
for later today.

1500
01:08:58,473 --> 01:08:59,975
- That's not such a bad thing,
is it?

1501
01:09:00,725 --> 01:09:03,186
- No, but the fit of that
glove's a bad thing.

1502
01:09:04,062 --> 01:09:06,940
Um, why don't you take the boxes
and I will touch the cookies.

1503
01:09:07,649 --> 01:09:11,444
- Deal. So, are you, are you
really worried?

1504
01:09:12,195 --> 01:09:15,824
- I feel like this whole thing
is manufactured.

1505
01:09:16,241 --> 01:09:18,702
Love can't be rushed.

1506
01:09:19,202 --> 01:09:20,287
I mean, if you plant a seed,

1507
01:09:21,037 --> 01:09:23,540
you don't get a plant the next
day.

1508
01:09:24,082 --> 01:09:26,626
It has to grow. It takes time.

1509
01:09:28,503 --> 01:09:31,923
- Nora Winters, are you a
romantic?

1510
01:09:32,382 --> 01:09:35,593
- No. No, of course not.

1511
01:09:35,885 --> 01:09:37,304
I just...

1512
01:09:38,096 --> 01:09:38,972
I don't know why I thought I
could get away

1513
01:09:39,472 --> 01:09:41,057
with faking the whole thing.

1514
01:09:41,599 --> 01:09:43,101
No wonder the board's not happy.

1515
01:09:43,893 --> 01:09:46,271
I never used to write like this.
- And why is that?

1516
01:09:46,938 --> 01:09:48,690
- Well, I used to be a different
person.

1517
01:09:49,274 --> 01:09:51,276
You know, when I started
writing,

1518
01:09:51,943 --> 01:09:53,778
I didn't think about what was
gonna be

1519
01:09:54,529 --> 01:09:56,781
in the comments section, I just
wrote what I felt

1520
01:09:57,198 --> 01:09:58,199
and pushed publish,

1521
01:09:58,825 --> 01:10:00,243
and never gave it a second
thought.

1522
01:10:00,660 --> 01:10:01,786
We need more boxes.

1523
01:10:02,495 --> 01:10:05,081
- Well, that's what made you so
successful.

1524
01:10:05,582 --> 01:10:08,335
- Yeah. But at some point,

1525
01:10:09,002 --> 01:10:10,378
as the site grew and grew and
grew,

1526
01:10:10,795 --> 01:10:12,297
then you know what?

1527
01:10:12,964 --> 01:10:15,467
The scrutiny on me grew and grew
and grew.

1528
01:10:16,343 --> 01:10:19,512
- I think you're admitting that
you're afraid of something.

1529
01:10:20,055 --> 01:10:21,890
Before I took this assignment,

1530
01:10:22,599 --> 01:10:23,600
I went back and I read all your
old writing.

1531
01:10:24,225 --> 01:10:27,604
And you're right, you're not the
same.

1532
01:10:27,979 --> 01:10:29,356
You're better.

1533
01:10:30,982 --> 01:10:33,360
You, you're more thoughtful.

1534
01:10:34,110 --> 01:10:35,820
You come at things from a
stronger point of view.

1535
01:10:36,446 --> 01:10:38,365
And look, I understand your
concerns

1536
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,243
but I don't think you actually
have anything to be afraid of.

1537
01:10:43,411 --> 01:10:45,372
- I just don't wanna be a fraud.

1538
01:10:45,747 --> 01:10:47,123
- So, don't be.

1539
01:10:47,540 --> 01:10:49,376
If they want honest,

1540
01:10:49,751 --> 01:10:51,002
give them honest.

1541
01:10:52,670 --> 01:10:53,630
Look, tell the board and your
readers

1542
01:10:54,005 --> 01:10:55,673
that Mr. Haircut,

1543
01:10:56,383 --> 01:10:58,218
or whatever anonymous name you
gave Geoffrey,

1544
01:10:58,676 --> 01:10:59,719
is handsome and charming,

1545
01:11:00,345 --> 01:11:02,180
but you just don't feel it with
him.

1546
01:11:03,807 --> 01:11:04,849
I mean, who cares if you don't
actually

1547
01:11:05,392 --> 01:11:06,684
fall in love before Christmas?

1548
01:11:07,352 --> 01:11:09,396
- Well, that is the title of the
series.

1549
01:11:09,979 --> 01:11:12,107
It would literally ruin it.

1550
01:11:13,608 --> 01:11:14,901
- Not if you're real.

1551
01:11:16,361 --> 01:11:19,614
What are you really feeling,
Nora Winters?

1552
01:11:20,490 --> 01:11:22,409
(soft music)

1553
01:11:28,248 --> 01:11:30,667
- Because if, I mean, if you
write about that,

1554
01:11:31,334 --> 01:11:33,253
I think you'll get your stellar
content.

1555
01:11:33,586 --> 01:11:35,380
(chuckles)

1556
01:11:35,713 --> 01:11:37,424
Which I need.

1557
01:11:37,924 --> 01:11:39,509
- Cheers. (both laugh)

1558
01:11:40,802 --> 01:11:43,138
(soft music)

1559
01:11:43,555 --> 01:11:44,722
(cellphone chimes)

1560
01:11:46,683 --> 01:11:47,725
- Hey.

1561
01:11:48,601 --> 01:11:50,311
(Sara):

1562
01:11:52,605 --> 01:11:54,107
just offered you the full-time
position!

1563
01:11:54,441 --> 01:11:55,316
They want you

1564
01:11:55,942 --> 01:11:56,443
at their holiday company party
tonight

1565
01:11:57,068 --> 01:11:58,153
so they can introduce you to the
team.

1566
01:11:58,945 --> 01:12:00,363
- But I'm in the middle of the
assignment for Prism.

1567
01:12:01,030 --> 01:12:02,073
- Yeah, but you're finished that
tomorrow

1568
01:12:02,782 --> 01:12:04,284
so you can just sneak out a few
hours early.

1569
01:12:04,993 --> 01:12:06,494
- Well, who'd finish shooting
Nora's series?

1570
01:12:07,245 --> 01:12:09,956
- Jack, did you hear the words
that I'm saying?

1571
01:12:10,290 --> 01:12:12,417
Level Eleven.

1572
01:12:12,834 --> 01:12:14,502
Full-time position.

1573
01:12:14,794 --> 01:12:16,004
Big deal.

1574
01:12:21,176 --> 01:12:22,719
- Okay, well, where are we at
with the gallery?

1575
01:12:23,386 --> 01:12:25,763
- Jack, you are being offered
more money

1576
01:12:26,514 --> 01:12:28,475
than any client I've ever had in
my entire career.

1577
01:12:29,142 --> 01:12:30,477
Why are you still thinking so
small?

1578
01:12:31,269 --> 01:12:33,480
- You knew a gallery exhibition
was always the goal.

1579
01:12:33,980 --> 01:12:34,939
- And it will be.

1580
01:12:35,565 --> 01:12:37,484
While you're crushing it at
Level.

1581
01:12:38,151 --> 01:12:39,110
What time can I tell them you'll
be there?

1582
01:12:39,444 --> 01:12:41,154
(soft music)

1583
01:12:41,571 --> 01:12:44,115
- No, I'm not going.

1584
01:12:44,574 --> 01:12:45,492
- Jack, don't be silly.

1585
01:12:47,911 --> 01:12:49,120
you took a chance on me all
those years ago,

1586
01:12:49,829 --> 01:12:52,248
and I'll be forever grateful but
I think...

1587
01:12:53,041 --> 01:12:55,043
I think it's time for me to
focus on other things.

1588
01:12:55,376 --> 01:12:57,337
- Like what?

1589
01:12:58,046 --> 01:13:01,341
- A gallery exhibition. Time
with loved ones.

1590
01:13:01,883 --> 01:13:04,219
Look, I just, I need a change.

1591
01:13:05,011 --> 01:13:08,056
Thank you for everything but I'm
not bailing on Nora.

1592
01:13:08,389 --> 01:13:10,058
She need me.

1593
01:13:10,683 --> 01:13:12,769
This series means too much to
her.

1594
01:13:13,144 --> 01:13:14,479
I'm not going.

1595
01:13:14,771 --> 01:13:16,523
- Wow.

1596
01:13:17,982 --> 01:13:18,983
- Whew.

1597
01:13:19,984 --> 01:13:22,153
(sighs happily)

1598
01:13:23,404 --> 01:13:26,241
(soft music)

1599
01:13:31,996 --> 01:13:34,624
- Look at you. That looks
stunning.

1600
01:13:34,958 --> 01:13:36,125
- Thank you!

1601
01:13:36,834 --> 01:13:38,628
I actually just learned this new
makeup tip.

1602
01:13:39,254 --> 01:13:40,547
You put the white in your water
line

1603
01:13:41,339 --> 01:13:43,258
and then just like, a dash of
glitter in your corner,

1604
01:13:43,758 --> 01:13:44,634
and it makes your eyes pop.

1605
01:13:45,468 --> 01:13:48,555
And then, you use this primer to
smooth out your pores,

1606
01:13:49,264 --> 01:13:53,351
which you literally don't have,
but I do.

1607
01:13:53,768 --> 01:13:55,270
- I didn't realize

1608
01:13:55,895 --> 01:13:56,771
that you knew so much about
makeup.

1609
01:13:57,230 --> 01:13:58,982
- Hmm, trial and error.

1610
01:13:59,607 --> 01:14:00,567
- Listen, I know that you still
have

1611
01:14:01,150 --> 01:14:02,569
another semester at school

1612
01:14:03,403 --> 01:14:05,738
but would you have any interest
in writing for the site?

1613
01:14:06,364 --> 01:14:08,992
I mean, maybe doing a monthly
roundup

1614
01:14:09,659 --> 01:14:11,703
of makeup products, tips you've
learned,

1615
01:14:12,328 --> 01:14:13,413
that kinda thing? - Are you
serious?

1616
01:14:13,955 --> 01:14:15,915
I'd love to. Writing for Prism

1617
01:14:16,583 --> 01:14:18,251
has been my goal since I was
like, eight.

1618
01:14:18,876 --> 01:14:20,587
- Why didn't you ever say
anything?

1619
01:14:21,004 --> 01:14:22,797
- I... I mean...

1620
01:14:23,506 --> 01:14:26,384
I guess I didn't think I had
anything to say.

1621
01:14:27,010 --> 01:14:28,595
I mean, you're such a legend. -
Oh.

1622
01:14:29,304 --> 01:14:31,389
- And I know you took a break
from writing,

1623
01:14:31,931 --> 01:14:33,266
but this thing that you're doing

1624
01:14:33,808 --> 01:14:36,144
with Take 2 Heart, it's so cool.

1625
01:14:37,020 --> 01:14:39,439
And plus, you and Jack are like,
the ultimate creative duo.

1626
01:14:39,814 --> 01:14:41,816
- Oh. (chuckles)

1627
01:14:42,275 --> 01:14:44,944
Well, he is... Talented.

1628
01:14:45,653 --> 01:14:47,530
- Hmm, and he definitely has a
crush on you.

1629
01:14:47,905 --> 01:14:49,574
- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

1630
01:14:49,907 --> 01:14:50,825
(chuckling)

1631
01:14:51,159 --> 01:14:52,702
- So, tell me

1632
01:14:53,411 --> 01:14:54,954
whatever other magic makeup
tricks you have.

1633
01:14:55,288 --> 01:14:56,539
- Oh! Okay.

1634
01:14:57,957 --> 01:15:00,627
(joyful music)

1635
01:15:03,212 --> 01:15:04,756
(Adley): Oh no! - Whoa, whoa! I
got it!

1636
01:15:05,173 --> 01:15:07,216
- Oh no! Oh, gosh.

1637
01:15:07,634 --> 01:15:08,760
- Okay. - Oh, sorry.

1638
01:15:09,469 --> 01:15:11,721
I thought I was tall enough to
reach the top.

1639
01:15:12,347 --> 01:15:14,557
- Oh, well, allow me. - Thank
you.

1640
01:15:16,267 --> 01:15:17,352
- There you go.

1641
01:15:18,353 --> 01:15:19,646
- Look,

1642
01:15:20,396 --> 01:15:22,398
I know that Nora didn't
intentionally invite you

1643
01:15:22,857 --> 01:15:24,525
to our little fundraiser

1644
01:15:25,318 --> 01:15:27,278
but we are all so glad that you
and Kyle are here.

1645
01:15:27,945 --> 01:15:29,656
- Are you kidding? I'm honored
to be here.

1646
01:15:30,281 --> 01:15:32,033
And you have a really special
family.

1647
01:15:32,742 --> 01:15:34,661
And Nora, well, she's -- - She's
pretty great.

1648
01:15:35,161 --> 01:15:36,788
(soft music)

1649
01:15:38,581 --> 01:15:40,667
Look, I don't mean to overstep,

1650
01:15:41,084 --> 01:15:43,252
but in my experience,

1651
01:15:43,753 --> 01:15:45,880
telling someone how you feel,

1652
01:15:46,339 --> 01:15:47,757
it's always a good idea.

1653
01:15:49,175 --> 01:15:50,802
- Hmm.

1654
01:15:54,430 --> 01:15:56,683
(■■)

1655
01:16:00,353 --> 01:16:02,522
- Oh, hey. Looks good.

1656
01:16:05,566 --> 01:16:07,568
(sighs) (cellphone pings)

1657
01:16:09,112 --> 01:16:11,364
(soft music)

1658
01:16:14,867 --> 01:16:16,077
What?!

1659
01:16:18,204 --> 01:16:19,330
- Everything is set up. - Wow!

1660
01:16:19,997 --> 01:16:21,666
Great set-up! (Clark): Nice
work, Jack.

1661
01:16:22,834 --> 01:16:23,835
(Jack): Hi, guys.

1662
01:16:26,170 --> 01:16:27,714
- Yeah, looks good.

1663
01:16:28,589 --> 01:16:30,425
(Lola): Okay, Winters family,
let's get this party started!

1664
01:16:30,883 --> 01:16:32,677
- Yeah! - Bye, see ya.

1665
01:16:33,052 --> 01:16:33,720
- So exciting!

1666
01:16:34,137 --> 01:16:36,013
(orchestral music)

1667
01:16:43,271 --> 01:16:44,856
(camera shutter snaps) - Magic.
And you know what?

1668
01:16:45,648 --> 01:16:47,567
Here's a donation slip in case
you wanna contribute

1669
01:16:48,234 --> 01:16:49,402
to the bakery's free programs
that give--

1670
01:16:49,652 --> 01:16:50,695
Hey.

1671
01:16:53,156 --> 01:16:54,741
Uh, sorry, give back to the
community.

1672
01:16:55,658 --> 01:16:57,118
In addition, I'll be giving away
a free photography class

1673
01:16:57,577 --> 01:16:59,245
to all donors, thank you.

1674
01:17:01,038 --> 01:17:02,749
Hi, guys.

1675
01:17:03,416 --> 01:17:04,167
Yeah, if you can just... a
little closer.

1676
01:17:04,500 --> 01:17:05,877
There we go.

1677
01:17:06,377 --> 01:17:07,754
- Hi. Thank you for coming.

1678
01:17:08,379 --> 01:17:09,380
- Oh, my pleasure. - Good to see
you.

1679
01:17:09,797 --> 01:17:11,758
- Yeah, you too. Oh.

1680
01:17:12,133 --> 01:17:13,760
- Oh... yeah.

1681
01:17:14,385 --> 01:17:15,970
We're getting there, but you
know...

1682
01:17:16,471 --> 01:17:18,181
It could be better. - Mm-hmm.

1683
01:17:18,931 --> 01:17:20,725
- Uh, well, let me show you...
Oh, you remember.

1684
01:17:21,142 --> 01:17:22,018
(Geoffrey): Yeah, hi.

1685
01:17:22,769 --> 01:17:23,770
(Adley): Nice to see you.
(Nora): Let me show you

1686
01:17:24,437 --> 01:17:24,937
the rest of the-- (Geoffrey):
Certainly.

1687
01:17:27,648 --> 01:17:30,526
(surrounding chatter)

1688
01:17:33,529 --> 01:17:35,782
- Hey, Katy, it's Jack Paxton.

1689
01:17:36,365 --> 01:17:37,325
Yeah, it's been a while.

1690
01:17:38,075 --> 01:17:39,452
Hey, listen, is your company
still looking to make

1691
01:17:40,203 --> 01:17:41,954
some donations before the end of
the fiscal year?

1692
01:17:43,748 --> 01:17:45,792
Well, I think I might have the
perfect charity for you.

1693
01:17:47,251 --> 01:17:48,503
Yeah.

1694
01:17:49,045 --> 01:17:51,297
That's so generous, thank you.

1695
01:17:54,425 --> 01:17:57,011
- I am telling you, it is wild,
man.

1696
01:17:57,512 --> 01:17:59,472
Yeah. Well, that Nora Winters

1697
01:17:59,972 --> 01:18:01,849
is actually writing about me.

1698
01:18:02,391 --> 01:18:04,894
Well, yeah, because I'm Mr. G.

1699
01:18:07,104 --> 01:18:08,105
Well, yeah, of course, she's
nice,

1700
01:18:08,606 --> 01:18:09,732
she's great, but you know,

1701
01:18:10,399 --> 01:18:12,235
but her name next to mine, this
is huge.

1702
01:18:12,652 --> 01:18:13,736
Hey, tell you what,

1703
01:18:14,487 --> 01:18:15,822
see if you can get me an
interview with The Post

1704
01:18:16,614 --> 01:18:17,782
and I can do one of those kinda
you know,

1705
01:18:18,241 --> 01:18:19,826
tell-all kinda things.

1706
01:18:20,159 --> 01:18:21,702
Oh yeah.

1707
01:18:22,453 --> 01:18:23,663
Yeah, 'cause this'll be great
for my business.

1708
01:18:24,413 --> 01:18:25,832
And you know what? They will eat
this stuff up.

1709
01:18:26,457 --> 01:18:27,834
- Looks good, right? - Oh!

1710
01:18:28,668 --> 01:18:30,378
(cellphone pings) - Yeah, couple
more down here.

1711
01:18:31,003 --> 01:18:33,130
- Max, hi. -

1712
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:34,841
to call you on Christmas Eve but
I wanted you

1713
01:18:35,341 --> 01:18:35,967
to hear it from me.

1714
01:18:36,634 --> 01:18:38,636
- Oh, is this about Jack and
Level Eleven?

1715
01:18:39,053 --> 01:18:39,846
- Yeah, no, I heard,

1716
01:18:40,555 --> 01:18:42,265
but this is about you and the
column.

1717
01:18:42,598 --> 01:18:44,600
I'm so sorry.

1718
01:18:45,101 --> 01:18:46,310
I just heard from the board.

1719
01:18:51,607 --> 01:18:52,733
thrilled with some recent
developments.

1720
01:18:53,192 --> 01:18:54,151
I just sent you an email.

1721
01:18:59,365 --> 01:19:01,033
- "Nora Winters'

1722
01:19:01,701 --> 01:19:03,327
How to Fall in Love by Christmas
series

1723
01:19:04,036 --> 01:19:06,998
was completely fake, an inside
source says."

1724
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,376
Wow.

1725
01:19:10,877 --> 01:19:12,253
- Any idea who the source is?

1726
01:19:12,962 --> 01:19:15,047
- Well, Jack, right? Who else
could it be?

1727
01:19:16,966 --> 01:19:19,260
- I'm sorry, Nora. Merry
Christmas.

1728
01:19:21,721 --> 01:19:23,890
- Hey, I was looking for you. -
Oh, you were?

1729
01:19:24,390 --> 01:19:25,641
Were you gonna tell me?

1730
01:19:25,975 --> 01:19:27,894
What is this?

1731
01:19:28,686 --> 01:19:31,022
- I don't know but listen,
Geoffrey, he's using you.

1732
01:19:31,480 --> 01:19:33,065
- Geoffrey's using me.

1733
01:19:33,774 --> 01:19:35,902
Ha, you would say that because
you used me.

1734
01:19:36,485 --> 01:19:38,154
- That's not true.

1735
01:19:38,821 --> 01:19:41,824
- Oh, so you didn't basically
rat me out

1736
01:19:42,491 --> 01:19:43,910
with the work that we did for my
column

1737
01:19:44,619 --> 01:19:46,579
by selling it to a rival site
for more money?

1738
01:19:46,996 --> 01:19:48,915
- That was my agent.

1739
01:19:49,707 --> 01:19:52,793
- And you didn't know that she
was doing that?

1740
01:19:55,296 --> 01:19:57,840
So, you're just basically
motivated by money

1741
01:19:58,299 --> 01:20:00,885
and this was all a lie.

1742
01:20:01,510 --> 01:20:02,637
- Says the woman totally
comfortable

1743
01:20:03,095 --> 01:20:04,388
faking falling in love.

1744
01:20:05,014 --> 01:20:08,017
- Well, at least I'm trying to
change.

1745
01:20:08,351 --> 01:20:09,936
Unlike you.

1746
01:20:10,478 --> 01:20:11,938
- You know what? Forget it.

1747
01:20:12,772 --> 01:20:15,066
This was a waste of time. -
Yeah, it was a waste of time.

1748
01:20:15,691 --> 01:20:17,360
Why don't you just go have a
great,

1749
01:20:18,027 --> 01:20:20,780
fun Christmas party at your new
company.

1750
01:20:21,113 --> 01:20:22,949
(soft music)

1751
01:20:26,077 --> 01:20:27,828
- Everything all right?

1752
01:20:28,162 --> 01:20:29,497
- Uh, yeah.

1753
01:20:32,917 --> 01:20:36,963
(soft music)

1754
01:20:44,095 --> 01:20:45,429
- How're we doing?

1755
01:20:46,097 --> 01:20:48,975
- Um... might have to cut back a
little.

1756
01:20:49,392 --> 01:20:51,394
- The foundation,

1757
01:20:52,019 --> 01:20:53,521
that's not what Mom would've
wanted.

1758
01:20:54,230 --> 01:20:55,898
- Sometimes you just have to
face the facts

1759
01:20:56,524 --> 01:20:57,984
that things don't always go your
way.

1760
01:20:58,401 --> 01:20:59,568
- What's with you?

1761
01:20:59,860 --> 01:21:01,445
(sighs)

1762
01:21:01,904 --> 01:21:02,989
This whole silly thing,

1763
01:21:03,698 --> 01:21:05,157
this partnership with Take 2
Heart,

1764
01:21:05,992 --> 01:21:08,160
I just... I shouldn't have let
myself get pushed into it.

1765
01:21:08,703 --> 01:21:10,997
- But you started writing and...

1766
01:21:11,706 --> 01:21:13,416
And you have real feelings for
someone, yeah?

1767
01:21:13,833 --> 01:21:15,751
- Hey, there you are.

1768
01:21:16,419 --> 01:21:19,005
I have been looking for you
everywhere.

1769
01:21:19,755 --> 01:21:21,048
Did you wanna go do the photo
booth?

1770
01:21:21,382 --> 01:21:24,593
- Um... I...

1771
01:21:26,345 --> 01:21:29,015
Are you... Are you recording
right now?

1772
01:21:29,515 --> 01:21:31,100
- Well, uh...

1773
01:21:31,767 --> 01:21:35,021
Well, yeah. I mean, but can you
blame me?

1774
01:21:35,730 --> 01:21:37,773
Well, because you're Nora
Winters

1775
01:21:38,441 --> 01:21:39,608
and I just thought it would be a
good idea

1776
01:21:40,026 --> 01:21:41,402
if I had some proof.

1777
01:21:41,694 --> 01:21:43,029
- Proof?

1778
01:21:43,446 --> 01:21:45,114
- That I'm Mr. G.

1779
01:21:45,614 --> 01:21:47,199
- Why would you need proof?

1780
01:21:47,908 --> 01:21:49,452
- Because I am getting so much
more investors

1781
01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:50,786
interested in my company

1782
01:21:51,412 --> 01:21:52,955
by mentioning you in the
interviews.

1783
01:21:53,372 --> 01:21:55,583
- Interviews? - Yeah.

1784
01:21:56,167 --> 01:21:57,460
And I've got another one
tomorrow.

1785
01:21:58,127 --> 01:21:59,754
I just wanna make sure I can,
you know,

1786
01:22:00,254 --> 01:22:01,255
quote everything factually.

1787
01:22:01,714 --> 01:22:05,468
- Okay, wow. Um, uh...

1788
01:22:06,218 --> 01:22:10,222
I don't... I don't think this is
gonna work out.

1789
01:22:10,681 --> 01:22:12,224
- What about your column?

1790
01:22:12,516 --> 01:22:13,976
- Uh...

1791
01:22:14,435 --> 01:22:16,103
- Nora, hold on. Wait!

1792
01:22:16,604 --> 01:22:18,647
- Geoffrey, um, I think...

1793
01:22:19,315 --> 01:22:20,399
I think it's time we excuse
ourselves.

1794
01:22:20,733 --> 01:22:21,817
I'll just...

1795
01:22:22,485 --> 01:22:23,069
Just, just come this way, okay?
- Ah...

1796
01:22:23,569 --> 01:22:24,445
- It's okay.

1797
01:22:26,739 --> 01:22:28,199
- Hey, buddy.

1798
01:22:29,075 --> 01:22:30,993
I think it's time to pack up our
things and head out, okay?

1799
01:22:31,243 --> 01:22:32,578
Here.

1800
01:22:36,957 --> 01:22:39,710
(indistinct chatter)

1801
01:22:40,377 --> 01:22:42,421
- I was totally wrong about
everything.

1802
01:22:42,963 --> 01:22:45,424
I mean, Geoffrey was so obvious.

1803
01:22:46,092 --> 01:22:47,009
I should've known what was going
on there,

1804
01:22:47,510 --> 01:22:49,095
right away. - Sure, but Jack?

1805
01:22:49,929 --> 01:22:51,097
I mean, I've seen the way you
two look at each other.

1806
01:22:51,889 --> 01:22:55,101
- Adley, he used me as a
bargaining tool.

1807
01:22:55,476 --> 01:22:57,019
- No, he didn't.

1808
01:22:57,561 --> 01:22:59,480
No, Nora, last time I saw him,

1809
01:23:00,189 --> 01:23:02,316
he was doing everything he could
to fundraise.

1810
01:23:02,650 --> 01:23:04,860
He did it.

1811
01:23:05,361 --> 01:23:06,487
Apparently, he knew people

1812
01:23:07,113 --> 01:23:08,656
who wanted to donate to that
cause.

1813
01:23:08,989 --> 01:23:10,407
We're good.

1814
01:23:10,783 --> 01:23:12,118
- He left to go

1815
01:23:12,952 --> 01:23:14,620
to Level Eleven's Christmas
party tonight.

1816
01:23:14,995 --> 01:23:15,788
- No, he didn't.

1817
01:23:17,123 --> 01:23:18,791
He fired his agent,

1818
01:23:19,458 --> 01:23:21,127
he turned down the job at Level
Eleven.

1819
01:23:21,919 --> 01:23:23,629
I heard him. I heard him do it
with my own two ears.

1820
01:23:23,921 --> 01:23:25,506
(exhales)

1821
01:23:25,798 --> 01:23:26,966
- Listen.

1822
01:23:28,425 --> 01:23:32,555
He lights you up in a way I
haven't seen in years.

1823
01:23:33,222 --> 01:23:36,142
You two have something really
special.

1824
01:23:37,017 --> 01:23:39,562
And I would think twice about
letting it go.

1825
01:23:39,895 --> 01:23:42,648
(soft music)

1826
01:23:47,570 --> 01:23:49,155
(sighs)

1827
01:23:51,490 --> 01:23:53,367
(paper crinkling)

1828
01:24:14,555 --> 01:24:19,185
(gentle music)

1829
01:24:32,990 --> 01:24:34,617
(sighs)

1830
01:24:42,583 --> 01:24:45,085
- Hey, Max, um...

1831
01:24:45,753 --> 01:24:47,630
I'm gonna go live with one more
piece.

1832
01:24:49,381 --> 01:24:50,299
- Yes, hi, I'd like

1833
01:24:50,925 --> 01:24:52,468
to book a hotel room for a few
nights.

1834
01:24:53,010 --> 01:24:55,179
- Hey, where are you two headed?

1835
01:24:55,804 --> 01:24:57,431
Santa's coming here in a few
hours.

1836
01:24:58,098 --> 01:24:59,225
This is the address I told him
to go to.

1837
01:24:59,767 --> 01:25:00,476
- Mom! - Sorry,

1838
01:25:01,018 --> 01:25:01,894
I'm gonna have to call you back.

1839
01:25:02,561 --> 01:25:06,190
- It's a Christmas miracle. -
But how?

1840
01:25:07,024 --> 01:25:09,944
- I had a little help from Nora
and a little bit of luck.

1841
01:25:10,819 --> 01:25:12,655
The hospital was fully staffed.
They didn't need me tonight.

1842
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,698
(cellphone pings) - Sorry, one
sec.

1843
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:12,298
- Nora Winters, I think you just
saved your job.

1844
01:26:25,060 --> 01:26:27,021
- What are you waiting for? Go!

1845
01:26:27,438 --> 01:26:28,772
- Yeah? - Yeah, go.

1846
01:26:29,064 --> 01:26:30,316
- Okay.

1847
01:26:33,235 --> 01:26:36,447
(hopeful music)

1848
01:26:36,822 --> 01:26:38,324
(cellphone pings)

1849
01:26:54,923 --> 01:26:56,383
- Did you read my post?

1850
01:26:58,302 --> 01:27:00,679
- I'm very impressed.

1851
01:27:01,263 --> 01:27:03,599
- Impressed enough to forgive
me?

1852
01:27:06,018 --> 01:27:07,770
(soft music)

1853
01:27:19,198 --> 01:27:20,366
- It's bad luck not to kiss
under the mistletoe.

1854
01:27:21,742 --> 01:27:22,409
- It's gross.

1855
01:27:22,701 --> 01:27:24,870
(laughs)

1856
01:27:26,580 --> 01:27:28,665
So, Jack Paxton,

1857
01:27:29,166 --> 01:27:30,918
in your professional opinion,

1858
01:27:31,710 --> 01:27:33,837
do you think that you can fall
in love by Christmas?

1859
01:27:34,171 --> 01:27:36,006
- Absolutely.

1860
01:27:36,298 --> 01:27:37,925
Do you?

1861
01:27:39,343 --> 01:27:41,220
- Absolutely.

1862
01:27:44,890 --> 01:27:47,601
(■■)

1863
01:27:47,893 --> 01:27:49,603
Oh, look!

1864
01:27:50,145 --> 01:27:52,106
(chuckling) (Adley): You guys!

1865
01:27:52,564 --> 01:27:54,525
Look how beautiful. Aw.

1866
01:27:55,067 --> 01:27:57,528
You look very handsome together.

1867
01:27:57,861 --> 01:28:00,572
(soft music)

1868
01:28:00,948 --> 01:28:58,922
(joyful music)
