- [Elizabeth] Melissa,
these cupcakes are amazing.

5
00:00:51,552 --> 00:00:52,927
You've outdone yourself.

00:00:54,722 --> 00:00:56,514
- Well, I'm glad you like them.

00:00:56,515 --> 00:00:58,641
Merry Christmas, Elizabeth.

9
00:00:58,642 --> 00:01:00,352
- [Elizabeth] Merry Christmas.

10
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:01,896
- I'm sorry.

11
00:01:02,021 --> 00:01:03,813
I really need to talk to her.

12
00:01:03,814 --> 00:01:05,608
- Tyler,
I have customers waiting.

13
00:01:08,027 --> 00:01:09,652
- I'll pay for everyone's order.

15
00:01:13,157 --> 00:01:15,451
- Melissa, the man needs
to talk to you.

16
00:01:16,702 --> 00:01:18,578
- Melissa, I am sorry.

17
00:01:18,579 --> 00:01:19,955
- It's too late for sorry.

18
00:01:21,832 --> 00:01:23,584
Everyone, I'll be right back.

[chair scrapes]

21
00:01:31,550 --> 00:01:34,302
- I've loved you
since we were kids, Melissa.

22
00:01:34,303 --> 00:01:35,261
That hasn't changed.

23
00:01:35,262 --> 00:01:37,305
- We're not kids anymore.

24
00:01:37,306 --> 00:01:38,389
You can't just come back here

25
00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:41,017
and expect everything
to be as it was.

26
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:43,770
You have your life
and your career in the city.

27
00:01:43,771 --> 00:01:45,439
I'm a country girl.

28
00:01:46,357 --> 00:01:47,857
We've both moved on,

29
00:01:47,858 --> 00:01:51,111
and you were never happy
living here in Travelers Rest,

30
00:01:52,488 --> 00:01:55,241
and I don't see myself
being happy anywhere else.

31
00:01:57,868 --> 00:01:59,078
What are you doing?

32
00:02:01,247 --> 00:02:04,874
- I can be happy
living anywhere in the world

33
00:02:04,875 --> 00:02:07,502
as long as you are
there with me.

34
00:02:07,503 --> 00:02:12,132
[lighthearted music]

35
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:16,970
I love you, Melissa.

36
00:02:16,971 --> 00:02:18,514
I always have
and I always will.

37
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,517
Marry me.

38
00:02:22,518 --> 00:02:24,269
- Yes.

39
00:02:24,270 --> 00:02:29,108
[lighthearted music continues]

40
00:02:34,572 --> 00:02:36,030
- [Kim] And cut!

41
00:02:36,031 --> 00:02:37,448
Okay, I'm happy with that.

42
00:02:37,449 --> 00:02:39,325
Let's move on.

43
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:41,452
Can we be ready to roll again,
please, in 10 minutes?

44
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:43,204
Please and thank you.

45
00:02:43,205 --> 00:02:44,414
- Hey, Willow.
- Hey.

46
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:45,874
- Are we all set
for the church tomorrow?

47
00:02:45,875 --> 00:02:47,625
- Uh, yeah,
I can run over and check.

48
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,335
- Amazing. Thank you so much.
- [Willow] Mm-hm.

49
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:51,838
By the way,
this bakery is perfect.

50
00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:54,465
- Yeah. It's a good bakery.

51
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:55,717
Thanks, Kim.

52
00:02:55,718 --> 00:02:57,635
Oh, hey,
and have you thought any more

53
00:02:57,636 --> 00:02:59,846
about hiring me
as an assistant director

54
00:02:59,847 --> 00:03:01,389
for your next picture?

55
00:03:01,390 --> 00:03:03,391
- Girl, you know that
is not up to me.

56
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:04,976
It is entirely Miranda.

57
00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:06,519
- [soft groan]

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,646
- But she is coming by later,
and I will talk to her about it.

59
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:11,065
- Okay?
- [softly] Okay.

60
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:12,525
- She does have
another project coming up.

61
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:13,735
- [Willow]
What's the project?

62
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:15,361
- A Christmas movie about an inn.

63
00:03:15,362 --> 00:03:17,739
- Are we saving the inn
from foreclosure?

64
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:18,865
- Yeah.

65
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:20,366
- And there's probably a bakery.

66
00:03:20,367 --> 00:03:21,826
- Also yeah.

67
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:25,872
- Okay. All right, well,
I'll find a little cozy downtown

68
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:29,584
with lights everywhere,
bustling with Christmas cheer.

69
00:03:29,585 --> 00:03:31,920
- Okay, I'm sensing
some sarcasm here.

70
00:03:31,921 --> 00:03:33,338
- Sorry.

71
00:03:33,339 --> 00:03:36,132
I mean, but--I mean,
we already have a bakery.

72
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:38,259
This looks like
every other cozy bakery

73
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:40,470
in every other cozy
Christmas movie.

74
00:03:40,471 --> 00:03:42,680
We can just move
some cupcakes around

75
00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:44,974
and add a pretty blonde
and a hunk.

76
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,476
Change some dialog.

77
00:03:46,477 --> 00:03:48,061
That's our next ten features.

78
00:03:48,062 --> 00:03:50,105
- We don't even have to leave.
- Okay.

79
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,316
This is a successful
Christmas film formula, Willow.

80
00:03:53,317 --> 00:03:55,568
Okay? This is what
the public wants.

81
00:03:55,569 --> 00:03:57,737
Besides, what Christmas movie
do you want to make?

82
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:58,947
- Well, I sent you it.

83
00:03:58,948 --> 00:04:00,240
Have you read it yet?

84
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:04,744
- I promise I will get to it
on our next break.

85
00:04:04,745 --> 00:04:06,788
- Okay? Sorry.
- [Willow clears throat]

86
00:04:06,789 --> 00:04:08,582
- Meet me for dinner?
- Yep.

87

[zipping]

88
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:14,921
- Christmas cupcake?

89
00:04:14,922 --> 00:04:17,757
- Ah. Yeah. Thanks.

90
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:19,385

- Ooh.

94
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:50,915
- [Brett] Hey, Willow.

95
00:04:50,916 --> 00:04:52,834
- Oh, hey, Brett.
- Hey.

96
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:53,918
- Hey, you wanna get dinner?

97
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:56,797
- Um... shoot. Sorry.

98
00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,841
I--I have plans.

99
00:04:59,842 --> 00:05:02,468
- Uh, breakfast tomorrow?

100
00:05:02,469 --> 00:05:04,805
- Um, I'm going home tomorrow.

101
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:09,100
- So, this is it?

102
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:11,227
Were you gonna tell me?

103
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,439
- I'm not really good
with goodbyes.

104
00:05:13,564 --> 00:05:15,566
- [Brett] Well, why does this
have to be goodbye?

105
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:19,695
- I think we both know
what this is.

106
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:24,073
- What do you think this is?

107
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:27,160
- This is two people
who enjoyed their time together,

108
00:05:27,161 --> 00:05:30,997
and now they know
that the time has to end.

109
00:05:30,998 --> 00:05:32,458
This is my life.

110
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:34,710
Sorry.

Thank you so much
for meeting

132
00:07:08,679 --> 00:07:10,555
- with me.
- Of course, of course.

133
00:07:10,556 --> 00:07:12,515
You know, the congregation
is so excited

134

about being
in a Christmas movie.

- [Willow chuckles]

136
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:18,104
- The choir wanted to know,

137
00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:20,189
should they wear
their white robes

138
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:21,524
or their red robes?

139
00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:23,276
- Oh, you know, that is
a wardrobe question,

140
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:25,778
- but I'll find out for you.
- [Pastor] Hm.

141
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:28,364
- I've been practicing my lines.
- Oh, have you?

142
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:31,159
- I have to admit
I'm still a little nervous,

143
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,578
but, um, want to hear them?

144

- [clears throat]

147
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,007
"And there were
in the same country,

00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:48,718
shepherds abiding in the field,

keeping watch
over their flocks by night.

150
00:07:51,597 --> 00:07:55,766
Lo, an angel of the Lord
came upon them,

151
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:59,104
and the glory shone
around them brightly,

152
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:01,480
and they were sore afraid.

153
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:05,818
The angel said unto them,
'Fear not, for behold,

154
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:09,322
I bring unto you good tidings
of great joy,

155

161
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:37,725
So what do you think?

162
00:08:37,726 --> 00:08:41,563
- Uh, Linus couldn't have
said it better himself.

163
00:08:41,688 --> 00:08:44,023
- [chuckles] So will you be
staying here for Christmas?

164
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:45,191
- No, I'm going home.

165
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:47,318
- Ah, be with family.

166
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:49,612
- Well, I don't really
do Christmas.

00:08:49,613 --> 00:08:50,821
- Why not?

168
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:54,450
- Well, I celebrate Christmas
364 days a year,

169
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:57,036
so I kind of take Christmas off.

170
00:08:57,037 --> 00:09:01,415
- [chuckling] But don't you miss
seeing your family and friends

171
00:09:01,416 --> 00:09:03,876
and celebrating Christmas
with them?

172
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:08,839
- Maybe before this job,
but now it's just another day.

173
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,343
- But didn't you hear the passage
that I just read?

00:09:12,344 --> 00:09:15,888
It's much more
than just another day.

Christmas is the celebration
of the ultimate love.

181
00:09:37,786 --> 00:09:38,954
- [Willow] Mm-hm?

182
00:09:40,372 --> 00:09:41,873
- Merry Christmas.

like none other."

[ringing stops]

189
00:10:10,819 --> 00:10:12,194
Hey, Jan.

190
00:10:12,195 --> 00:10:14,530
- Hello, Willow. How are you?

191
00:10:14,531 --> 00:10:15,865
- [Willow] Oh, I'm okay.

192
00:10:15,866 --> 00:10:17,867
I'm about to wrap
on Christmas Cupcake.

193
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:19,660
- How'd it go?

194
00:10:19,661 --> 00:10:22,538
- Um, another cozy
bakery in trouble.

195
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:24,957
- Well, that sounds fun.

196
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:28,002
- It's a successful
Christmas film formula, Jan.

197
00:10:28,003 --> 00:10:33,591
It's what the public wants,
and the public is always right.

198
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:34,675
- [Jan] Well, I love it.

199
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:37,970
Me and millions of fans.

200
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:42,725
Cozy Christmas fun,
courtesy of Willow Bends.

201
00:10:42,726 --> 00:10:45,936
- Yeah. Well, this is my
last Christmas movie.

202
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:47,356
- Well, you said that
about this one

203
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:49,023
and the one before.

204
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:51,567
And what was that,
Comfort and Joy ?

205
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:55,988
- That one had a bakery too
and an inn.

206
00:10:55,989 --> 00:11:00,034
In fact,
they all had bakeries or inns.

207
00:11:00,035 --> 00:11:02,078
- [Jan] Okay, sis,
I'm just gonna say this

208
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:03,954
because I love you,

209
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:06,999
but you're too young
to be this cynical,

210
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,127
and you have a job that people
would kill for.

211
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:15,549
Movie stars, travel, salary,
and the food.

212
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:19,720
- I do like craft services.
- [Jan chuckles] Yeah, you do,

213
00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:22,139
and you're really good
at your job.

214
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:23,557
Okay, I'm just gonna ask you,

215
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:26,352
are you coming home
for Christmas this year?

216
00:11:26,353 --> 00:11:29,855
- Oh. Um... I don't think so.

217
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:31,023
- [Jan] It's been a few years,

218
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:33,652
and the kids really miss
their Aunt Willow.

219
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,155
Kids, say hi
to your Aunt Willow.

220
00:11:38,156 --> 00:11:39,573
- Hi, Aunt Willow.

221
00:11:39,574 --> 00:11:42,618
We miss you, Aunt Willow.

222
00:11:42,619 --> 00:11:44,203
- That's not fair.

223
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:47,206
Your mom put you up to this,
didn't she?

224
00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:48,667
Can you put her back on?

225
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,919
Hey, Jan. All right,

226
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,171
I'm about to put my feet up
and binge on some takeout

227
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:57,633
and watch anything other
than a Christmas movie.

228
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:03,013
- Well, that just sounds...
that sounds sad.

229
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:05,099
- Well, I'll see you
New Year's Eve.

230
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:06,184
Okay?

231
00:12:07,769 --> 00:12:09,145
[phone clicks]

232
00:12:09,146 --> 00:12:13,233
[inhales, blows raspberry]

233
00:12:15,694 --> 00:12:19,572
[gentle music]

234
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:21,240
- Hey, how was the church?

235
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,868
- Oh, good. Yeah.
Everything's all set.

236
00:12:23,869 --> 00:12:26,912
Pastor's been practicing
his lines.

237
00:12:26,913 --> 00:12:30,833
Oh, and he wanted to know red
or white for the choir robes.

238
00:12:30,834 --> 00:12:32,001
- Okay.

239
00:12:32,002 --> 00:12:34,211
- Hey, did you read my script?

240
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:35,463
- I did.

241
00:12:35,464 --> 00:12:37,047
- What do you think?

242
00:12:37,048 --> 00:12:38,632
- It's good.

243
00:12:38,633 --> 00:12:41,051
- When someone says
something's good,

244
00:12:41,052 --> 00:12:42,720
they mean that
it's really not good.

245
00:12:42,721 --> 00:12:44,930
So just tell me,
what'd you really think?

246
00:12:44,931 --> 00:12:47,517
Just be brutally honest.

247
00:12:48,685 --> 00:12:50,603
- It needs work.

248
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:53,397
- Hmm. Okay,
so it's not good.

249
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:54,648
- Not what I said.

250
00:12:54,649 --> 00:12:56,233
Uh, it's just that--

251
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:57,610
- Just what?

252
00:12:57,611 --> 00:12:59,237
- It lacks structure.

253
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:03,491
- Okay. What else?

254
00:13:03,492 --> 00:13:04,867
- There's no through storyline,

255
00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:06,952
and I didn't like
any of the characters.

256
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:10,122
- You know, I wrote the
lead character based on myself.

257
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:11,791
- Yeah, I got that part.

258
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:15,879
- Well, I mean,
it's a work in progress.

259
00:13:18,423 --> 00:13:20,674
- Miranda came by.
- Oh, yeah?

260
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:22,968
Did you ask her
if I could A.D. for you?

261
00:13:22,969 --> 00:13:24,929
- Yeah, she's gonna call you
and talk to you about it.

262
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:25,805
- Cool.

263
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:28,849
- Are you gonna see Brett
before you leave?

264
00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:30,142
- Oh, I already did.

265
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:33,729
- [Kim] Oh? And?

266
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:36,649
- I just told him I was leaving
in the morning.

267
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:39,944
- And how did he take that?
- He's fine.

268
00:13:39,945 --> 00:13:42,655
I mean, he knew that I was only
here a couple weeks,

269
00:13:42,656 --> 00:13:44,949
and we were just casual.

270
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:46,242
He's a nice guy.

271
00:13:46,243 --> 00:13:48,702
- Yeah, like a really nice guy.

272
00:13:48,703 --> 00:13:50,037
Just because you're leaving

273
00:13:50,038 --> 00:13:51,497
doesn't mean you have
to end things.

274
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:52,706
- And how would that work?

275
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:53,874
I mean, really?

276
00:13:53,875 --> 00:13:56,835
I'm a big city girl
with a big city job,

277
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,754
and he's a big country boy.

278
00:13:58,755 --> 00:14:00,422
He was never gonna be happy.

279
00:14:00,423 --> 00:14:02,508
- Ha-ha, very funny.

280
00:14:02,509 --> 00:14:03,759
Well, the rest of the crew

281
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,679
is gonna go
and maybe do karaoke tonight.

282
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,556
- You should come.
- Ah.

283
00:14:08,557 --> 00:14:11,225
I think I'm just gonna watch
a movie and go to bed...

284
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:12,978
by myself.

285
00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:16,647
- [waitress]
Can I get your order?

286
00:14:16,648 --> 00:14:19,359
- Yeah,
I'll take a glass of red.

Hey, Miranda.

289
00:14:28,535 --> 00:14:31,412
- Willow, Kim said you did
a great job on Cupcake.

290
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:32,788
- Oh, thanks.

291
00:14:32,789 --> 00:14:34,748
Hey. Did she talk
to you about me

292
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:36,584
assistant directing
her next feature?

293
00:14:36,585 --> 00:14:38,377
- Yes, she did.

294
00:14:38,378 --> 00:14:39,795
- What do you think?

295
00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:41,964
- You're a great location scout,
Willow,

296
00:14:41,965 --> 00:14:44,383
and that's where
I need you now.

297
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,594
- Kim and I were talking
about our next project.

298
00:14:46,595 --> 00:14:49,179
It's been moved up.
We'd like to shoot it this year.

299
00:14:49,180 --> 00:14:52,016
- This year?
Well, that's not much time.

300
00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:53,559
I mean,
there's only three weeks left.

301
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,769
- It's called Christmas Inn.

302
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:57,896
I'm going to need a cozy inn
in a small town.

303
00:14:57,897 --> 00:14:59,273
Maybe a bakery.

304
00:14:59,274 --> 00:15:01,066
All the usual
Christmas locations.

305
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,193
- Can we do something different?

306
00:15:03,194 --> 00:15:06,572
- Let's not change
what's working.

307
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,240
- Okay. When do you need it by?

308
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:09,408
- Leave tomorrow.

309
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:10,367
Start shooting in a week.

310
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:11,869
I'll send you the script.

311
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:13,246

Mistletoe.

321

We're not in foreclosure.

- Foreclosure?

323
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:56,163
- Why did you say that?
- I said we're not.

324
00:15:56,164 --> 00:15:57,665
- Then why say the word?

325
00:15:57,666 --> 00:15:59,083
- Cause I don't want you
to worry.

326
00:15:59,084 --> 00:16:01,043
- The word foreclosure
has me worried.

327
00:16:01,044 --> 00:16:02,878
- I'm just preparing you
for the worst.

328
00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:04,588
- What's the worst?

329
00:16:04,589 --> 00:16:06,256
- Foreclosure.

[Zach sighs]

331
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:09,134
- Mom, we don't have a choice.

332
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:11,470
We're gonna have to put the inn
up for sale after Christmas.

333
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,263
- Not gonna happen.

334
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:16,809
All the rooms are already
booked for the Mistletoe Ball.

335
00:16:16,810 --> 00:16:19,186
Well, almost booked.
Half booked,

336
00:16:19,187 --> 00:16:21,064
but it'll be enough to get us
through the holidays.

337
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:22,856
I don't want you worrying.

338
00:16:22,857 --> 00:16:25,025
Your dad and I always got by.

339
00:16:25,026 --> 00:16:26,694
- We can't
keep going like this.

340
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:28,028
- It'll be fine.

341
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:29,947
It always works out.

342
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:31,323

with the ball.

- Mom.

346
00:16:36,329 --> 00:16:38,497
- You need a date for the ball,
and she's here.

347
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:41,208
- That's your minimum requirement
for a date for me?

348
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:42,835
That she's here?

349
00:16:42,836 --> 00:16:44,545
- She's a nice girl.

350
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:46,423
She likes you.

351
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,764

I got this.

00:16:55,974 --> 00:16:57,516

to save the inn.

for the Mistletoe Ball?

You know I've offered to help.

you offered to volunteer.

again this year?

398
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:21,911
- Uh, to City Hall.
To see the mayor.

around the corner that way.

- Nice.
- Yeah. Oh.

403
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:34,673
- [Zach] Sorry.
- [Willow] No, it's okay.

404
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:36,508
- [Zach] Yeah.
- [Willow chuckles awkwardly]

405
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:39,136

- [Zach] Yep.

00:19:39,137 --> 00:19:40,804
I'm sure he can help you
with whatever you need.

I'm--I'm Zach.

408
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:43,474
- Oh, I'm Willow.

409
00:19:45,101 --> 00:19:46,810
- Are you here
for the Mistletoe Ball?

410
00:19:46,811 --> 00:19:48,061
- No. What's that?

411
00:19:48,062 --> 00:19:50,440
- Oh, every Christmas,
there's a black-tie ball

412
00:19:50,565 --> 00:19:52,190
at the Fitzgerald.

413
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,192
It's a Christmas party
for the whole town.

414
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,611
Attracts a lot of visitors.

415
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:57,362
So I thought, you know,
that might be why you're--

416
00:19:57,363 --> 00:19:59,531
- No, but that sounds great.

417
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,909
- Or the Mistletoe
Winter Festival?

418
00:20:01,910 --> 00:20:03,285
- Winter Festival?

419
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:05,245
Wow, this just keeps
getting better.

420
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:07,080
- It's like, big light shows.

421
00:20:07,081 --> 00:20:08,665
There's a Santa village.

422
00:20:08,666 --> 00:20:10,000
A Christmas mart.

423
00:20:10,001 --> 00:20:13,378
- Very Christmas cozy.
- [Zach chuckles]

424
00:20:13,379 --> 00:20:16,131
- Yeah, um...
well, I hope to see you around.

425
00:20:16,132 --> 00:20:18,675
- Yeah, you probably will.

426
00:20:18,676 --> 00:20:20,595
- Yeah. Okay.

May I help you?

- Uh, yeah.
I'd like to see the mayor.

431
00:20:42,158 --> 00:20:44,035
- Let me get him for you.

[phone keys clack]

433
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:49,957
Hi. I have a--

434
00:20:49,958 --> 00:20:51,750
I'm sorry.
What was your name?

435
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:55,796
- Willow Bends.

436
00:20:55,797 --> 00:20:57,130
Yes, I'll tell her.

437
00:20:57,131 --> 00:20:58,966
[chuckles]

438
00:20:58,967 --> 00:21:01,009
Zach will be right out.

439
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:02,595
- [mouths] Okay.

440
00:21:05,848 --> 00:21:06,723
[Willow clears throat]

441
00:21:06,724 --> 00:21:07,724
- [Zach] Hi, Willow.

442
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:09,643
I am the mayor.

443
00:21:09,644 --> 00:21:11,937
- The mayor?

444
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:13,564
- Sorry again for the,
you know...

445
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:15,440
- Oh, no, no, no.
I was taking pictures,

446
00:21:15,441 --> 00:21:17,359
not looking where I was going.
[chuckles]

447
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:18,986
- What can I do for you?

448
00:21:18,987 --> 00:21:21,989
- I'd like to see the town.
For a movie.

449
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:23,198
I'm a location scout,

450
00:21:23,199 --> 00:21:25,200
and we are looking
for a small town

451
00:21:25,201 --> 00:21:27,995
- for a Christmas movie--
- [gasps] Oh! Oh!

452
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:29,621
That's wonderful.

453
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:33,250
I watch those movies
all the time.

454
00:21:33,251 --> 00:21:34,751
- [Willow chuckles awkwardly]
- We're a small town.

455
00:21:34,752 --> 00:21:36,336
- Yeah, I see that.

456
00:21:36,337 --> 00:21:37,963
- Tell me more about the movie.

457
00:21:37,964 --> 00:21:40,007
- Red Herring Films,
they're the production company.

458
00:21:40,008 --> 00:21:41,425
They do a lot
of Christmas movies.

459
00:21:41,426 --> 00:21:43,427
Christmas Cupcake just wrapped,

460
00:21:43,428 --> 00:21:46,054
and now they're doing
another Christmas movie

461
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:48,223
about an inn.
In trouble.

462
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:50,308
You know, boy meets girl,
they fall in love,

463
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:51,601
they save the inn,

464
00:21:51,602 --> 00:21:54,397
and they have a happily
ever after Christmas.

465
00:21:54,522 --> 00:21:56,481
- You know, you really sparkle
when you tell that tale.

466
00:21:56,482 --> 00:21:58,275
- I've told it a lot.

467
00:21:58,276 --> 00:22:00,235
- Well, I can--
I can show you around town.

468
00:22:00,236 --> 00:22:01,778
Where are you staying?

469
00:22:01,779 --> 00:22:04,156
- I actually haven't gotten
that far yet.

470
00:22:04,157 --> 00:22:06,033
I used my film
location algorithm,

471
00:22:06,034 --> 00:22:09,786
a very sophisticated system,
and Mistletoe popped up.

472
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:12,372
And what could be more perfect
for a Christmas movie

473
00:22:12,373 --> 00:22:14,374
than a town called Mistletoe?

474
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:17,252
It's almost too perfect.

475
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:18,879
- And here you are.

476
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,506
- I am here. [chuckles]

477
00:22:22,925 --> 00:22:25,594
So who do I need to talk
to about permits?

478
00:22:25,595 --> 00:22:27,637
- Our town attorney,
Don Worley...

479
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,181
Let him know.

480
00:22:29,182 --> 00:22:31,224
And how about
we get you a room,

481
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:33,101
and we can talk more
after you settle in?

482
00:22:33,102 --> 00:22:35,645
- Great. Do you think
that you might have an inn

483
00:22:35,646 --> 00:22:37,898
that we could use
for the movie?

484
00:22:37,899 --> 00:22:39,983
- I think so.

485
00:22:39,984 --> 00:22:41,860
Uh... give me a couple minutes.

486
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,530
Ruth, uh, can you come back?

487
00:22:51,913 --> 00:22:52,954
- [Abby] So...

488
00:22:52,955 --> 00:22:54,831
Tell me more about the movie.

489
00:22:54,832 --> 00:22:56,667
[Willow chuckles]

490
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:03,341
[gentle holiday music]

491
00:23:06,344 --> 00:23:08,679

[door latch clicks]

493
00:23:19,690 --> 00:23:21,359
Oh.

494
00:23:23,236 --> 00:23:25,570
- [Zach]
Mom, this is Willow Bends.

495
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:26,738
- [Mary] Hi, Willow.
I'm Mary.

496
00:23:26,739 --> 00:23:28,323
Very nice to...

497
00:23:28,324 --> 00:23:30,909
- Uh, Willow is a
movie location scout,

498
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:33,328
so she's gonna need a room

499
00:23:33,329 --> 00:23:35,747
and an inn
for a Christmas movie.

500
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:36,998
- [Mary] Really?

501
00:23:36,999 --> 00:23:40,961
- This place is perfect.

502
00:23:40,962 --> 00:23:44,131
I could not write a better
description for a screenplay

503
00:23:44,132 --> 00:23:45,715
of a Christmas inn.

504
00:23:45,716 --> 00:23:47,759
- [Mary]
Welcome to the Mistletoe Inn.

505
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,427
- Well, why don't we get
Willow a room,

506
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:51,097
and then we can go into detail
about the movie?

507
00:23:52,515 --> 00:23:54,975
- [Mary] Terra, come here.

508
00:23:54,976 --> 00:23:56,226
Terra, this is Willow.

509
00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:58,478
She'll be staying in room 210.

510
00:23:58,479 --> 00:24:00,272
Willow, if I could get you
to sign the registry.

511
00:24:00,273 --> 00:24:01,440
- [Willow] Sure.

512
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,153
- [Mary] And how long
will you be staying?

513
00:24:06,154 --> 00:24:10,615
- Um, I think until Christmas.

514
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:12,576
- Let me take you to your room.

515
00:24:12,577 --> 00:24:14,286
- Okay.

516
00:24:14,287 --> 00:24:15,912
- See you in a bit.
- Yeah.

517
00:24:15,913 --> 00:24:20,751
[heavy footsteps]

518
00:24:26,048 --> 00:24:27,757
- [Terra] Are you here
for the Mistletoe Ball?

519
00:24:27,758 --> 00:24:31,052
- [Willow] Uh, no. I'm actually
here scouting locations

520
00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:32,304
for a Christmas movie.

521
00:24:32,305 --> 00:24:35,307
- [gasps] I'm in theater at WKU.

522
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,767
I want to be an actress.

523
00:24:37,768 --> 00:24:39,312
- That's nice.

524
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:42,356
Oh.

525
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,363
- Do you think
I could read for a part?

526
00:24:50,364 --> 00:24:51,615
Last year,
I played Lady Witherton

527
00:24:51,616 --> 00:24:52,782
in The Magic of Christmas.

528
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:55,035
- Do you know the play?
- No.

529
00:24:55,036 --> 00:24:56,328

Daily Bulletin

531
00:24:57,622 --> 00:24:59,706
said I was a young,
upcoming actress to watch.

532
00:24:59,707 --> 00:25:01,499
Their words, not mine.

533
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:03,335
I could do a scene for you.

534
00:25:03,336 --> 00:25:05,253
- I... I just...

535
00:25:05,254 --> 00:25:07,088
- [keys jingle]
- find locations.

536
00:25:07,089 --> 00:25:08,715
- Okay. I understand.

537
00:25:08,716 --> 00:25:10,342
[phone ringing]

538
00:25:10,343 --> 00:25:12,844
Um, if you need anything,
I'm just down the hall.

539
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:16,348
Like blankets or pillows,
or you want me to read a scene.

540
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:18,600
- I--I need to take this.

541
00:25:18,601 --> 00:25:20,018
- Okay.

542
00:25:20,019 --> 00:25:20,937
[phone ringing stops]

543
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:24,022
- Hey, Miranda.

544
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,066
Yeah, not only did
I find an inn,

545
00:25:26,067 --> 00:25:28,610
I am sitting in it right now.

546
00:25:28,611 --> 00:25:29,444
- [Miranda] Great.

547
00:25:29,445 --> 00:25:31,238
We added horses.

548
00:25:31,239 --> 00:25:32,989
Oh, gotta take this.

549
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:34,075
[phone clicks]

00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:39,079

[lighthearted music]

552
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:51,883
- [Mary] That's Violet.

553
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:52,968
- [Willow] Aw.

554
00:25:52,969 --> 00:25:54,553
Hey, Violet.

555
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:58,223
[Willow chuckles]

556
00:25:58,224 --> 00:26:00,892
So tell me about
the Mistletoe Inn.

557
00:26:00,893 --> 00:26:04,855
- The Mistletoe Inn opened
on Christmas Eve, 1903.

558
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:07,899
Mrs. Astor hosted a party
for the New York 400

559
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,276
who came here
for the winter fox hunts.

560
00:26:09,277 --> 00:26:10,652
- Wow.
- [Mary] The theme

561
00:26:10,653 --> 00:26:13,738
was Mistletoe Madness,
and everyone wore mistletoe.

562
00:26:13,739 --> 00:26:15,407
After the popularity
of the party,

563
00:26:15,408 --> 00:26:17,575
the town was named Mistletoe.

564
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,328
- Well, Miranda,
my executive producer,

565
00:26:20,329 --> 00:26:22,998
she will absolutely love
to film here.

566
00:26:22,999 --> 00:26:24,374
- Not gonna happen.

567
00:26:24,375 --> 00:26:25,917
- What? Why?

568
00:26:25,918 --> 00:26:28,920
You don't want the Mistletoe Inn
to be in a Christmas movie?

569
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:31,423
- I don't care much for the idea
of a lot of Hollywood folks

570
00:26:31,424 --> 00:26:33,925
taking over the inn,
breaking things,

571
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:35,927
doing whatever they do
in Hollywood.

572
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:38,555
- Well, our production company
is from Atlanta, not Hollywood.

573
00:26:38,556 --> 00:26:40,140
- Half a dozen of one...

574
00:26:40,141 --> 00:26:43,435
- I can assure you,
nothing bad will happen.

575
00:26:43,436 --> 00:26:45,562
- The best way
to not let bad things happen

576
00:26:45,563 --> 00:26:47,314
is to not do them.

577
00:26:47,315 --> 00:26:50,025
So I pass.

578
00:26:50,026 --> 00:26:51,776
It was nice to meet you, Willow.

579
00:26:51,777 --> 00:26:53,571
I've got to go feed the horses.

580
00:26:55,865 --> 00:26:57,949
- Zach, can you talk to her?

581
00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:59,909
- She doesn't take well
to Hollywood types.

582
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,077
- It's Atlanta.

583
00:27:01,078 --> 00:27:02,704
- But the inn needs this.

584
00:27:02,705 --> 00:27:04,539
I'm gonna make sure it happens.

585
00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:05,999
- Oh.

586
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,335
- How about I show you around?

587
00:27:09,211 --> 00:27:10,545
- Sure. [soft chuckle]

588
00:27:10,546 --> 00:27:13,131
- [Zach] Stay. Good girl.
- Bye.

- [passerby] Hi, Mayor.
- How's it going?

598
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:58,385
Right?

You okay?

602
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:05,892
- [Willow] Sorry.

- [Willow] Yeah. [laughs]

604
00:28:07,978 --> 00:28:12,148
- So, uh, how'd you get
into film?

605
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:15,402
- Oh, uh, well,
I've always loved movies,

606
00:28:15,403 --> 00:28:17,779
you know,
sitting in a dark theater,

607
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:19,948
getting lost in a story.

608
00:28:19,949 --> 00:28:22,534
In that moment,
the character's world

609
00:28:22,535 --> 00:28:24,702
becomes your world
through the camera's lens.

610
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,247
It's magical.

611
00:28:27,248 --> 00:28:31,084
I went to school in LA
to study directing.

612
00:28:31,085 --> 00:28:34,838
- You should be directing films,
not scouting movie locations.

613
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:37,132
- Yeah, well, at least
I'm working in film.

614
00:28:37,133 --> 00:28:39,050
But what about you?

615
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:40,844
How'd you get started
in politics?

616
00:28:40,845 --> 00:28:42,637
- Well, my family's
always been involved

617
00:28:42,638 --> 00:28:44,180
in Mistletoe politics.

618
00:28:44,181 --> 00:28:46,933
My dad, he was
on the city council for years.

619
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:48,601
- [Willow] Mm-hm.

620
00:28:48,602 --> 00:28:51,104
- So when the mayor retired,
I ran and won.

621
00:28:51,105 --> 00:28:52,565
- [Willow] Mm.

622
00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:56,776
So what's next?
Senator? Governor? President?

623
00:28:56,777 --> 00:29:00,489
- Uh... I think I'm okay
with mayor for now.

624
00:29:02,575 --> 00:29:04,242
You want to grab
a hot chocolate?

625
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:05,410
There's a great place
right over here.

626
00:29:05,411 --> 00:29:06,870
- Yeah, sure.

627
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:07,872
- Awesome. Come on.

628
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:11,499
- So, tell me,
how do I get Mary

629
00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:12,959
to let me use the inn?

630
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,587
- Okay, don't worry.
Mom--or Mary--

631
00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:17,172
and the rest of the town,

632
00:29:17,173 --> 00:29:18,715
they'll warm up to you.

633
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:20,884
You just gotta give them a
little time to get to know you.

634
00:29:20,885 --> 00:29:22,635
- Well, that might be a problem.

635
00:29:22,636 --> 00:29:25,847
I'm not exactly known
for my warmth.

636
00:29:25,848 --> 00:29:28,308
Sarcastic, snarky,

637
00:29:28,309 --> 00:29:30,310
maybe on a good day apathetic...

638
00:29:30,311 --> 00:29:33,689
but warm, not so much.

639
00:29:33,814 --> 00:29:37,193
- I--I don't know.
I find you, uh...

640
00:29:38,694 --> 00:29:40,653
- likable.
- [scoffs] Likable.

641
00:29:40,654 --> 00:29:43,698
That's a pretty high bar to set.

642
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:45,867
I've become
a little bit cynical...

643
00:29:45,868 --> 00:29:47,827
so my sister says.

644
00:29:47,828 --> 00:29:50,705
It's just all these
Christmas movie happy endings

645
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:55,251
made me realize I'll never find
that kind of happiness.

646
00:29:55,252 --> 00:29:57,253
- [Zach] I still find you
very likable,

647
00:29:57,254 --> 00:29:58,588
and I think
the rest of the town's

648
00:29:58,589 --> 00:30:00,216
gonna find you likable too.

649
00:30:01,509 --> 00:30:03,635
I wouldn't give up
on happy endings just yet,

650
00:30:03,636 --> 00:30:05,179
Willow Bends.

651
00:30:07,056 --> 00:30:09,182
Happy endings,
they don't just happen.

652
00:30:09,183 --> 00:30:11,059
It's up to us to write them.

654
00:30:13,687 --> 00:30:14,979
- [Willow] Hm.

655
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:16,981
- [Zach]
So, where you from?

656
00:30:16,982 --> 00:30:19,484
- I'm from Chicago.

657
00:30:19,485 --> 00:30:21,110
- Do you have any family there?

658
00:30:21,111 --> 00:30:24,864
- Yeah, my sister
and my niece and nephew.

659
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:27,367
- You going home for Christmas?

660
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:29,160
- I don't really do Christmas.

661
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:32,038
I mean, I'm usually scouting
a Christmas movie in a town

662
00:30:32,039 --> 00:30:34,499
I've already forgotten
the name of.

663
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,753
Christmas is kind of just
another workday for me.

664
00:30:38,796 --> 00:30:41,339
- I think there's
a town ordinance

665
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:44,133
against bah humbug.

666
00:30:44,134 --> 00:30:45,635
I'm gonna have to check it out,

667
00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:47,720
but I'm pretty sure
you're not allowed

668
00:30:47,721 --> 00:30:50,181
to not love Christmas
in Mistletoe.

669
00:30:50,182 --> 00:30:51,100
[Willow chuckles]

670
00:30:53,435 --> 00:30:58,148
Um, is there anyone at home
waiting for you?

671
00:31:00,276 --> 00:31:01,484
- What about you?

672
00:31:01,485 --> 00:31:04,487
Is there a Mrs. Mayor somewhere?

673
00:31:04,488 --> 00:31:05,947
- No, no.

674
00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:07,824
Um, there was a girl.

675
00:31:07,825 --> 00:31:09,951
I followed her to New York.

676
00:31:09,952 --> 00:31:14,581
Worked there for a few years,
but just wasn't for me.

677
00:31:14,582 --> 00:31:16,583
- When did you know?

678
00:31:16,584 --> 00:31:20,503
- I was sitting in my room
watching a Christmas movie,

679
00:31:20,504 --> 00:31:23,047
and it reminded me of home,

680
00:31:23,048 --> 00:31:26,384
and I realized there
was nowhere else I'd rather be,

681
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:28,761
so I came back to...

682
00:31:28,762 --> 00:31:31,639
- [Willow] Mistletoe.
- [Zach] Yes, Mistletoe.

683
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,891
- [Willow] So you said
that the inn needs this.

684
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,435
What did you mean?

685
00:31:35,436 --> 00:31:39,606
- Uh... Well, since my dad died,
the inn's been struggling,

686
00:31:39,607 --> 00:31:41,149
you know, and I help out
when I can,

687
00:31:41,150 --> 00:31:43,151
but it's a lot for my mom.

688
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:44,569
You know,
she depends on Christmas

689
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,029
for most of the year's income.

690
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:48,364
- Well, I can't think
of a better way to drive tourism

691
00:31:48,365 --> 00:31:51,409
into town than to shoot
a Christmas movie

692
00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:54,037
in a town called Mistletoe.

693
00:31:54,038 --> 00:31:55,247
- [Zach] Hm.

694
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:58,958
- Thanks for showing me
around today

695
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:02,086
and for not issuing me
a bah humbug ticket.

696
00:32:02,087 --> 00:32:04,213
- Well, the first one's just
a warning,

697
00:32:04,214 --> 00:32:07,425
but I got my eyes on you,
Willow Bends.

698
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:08,802
- Noted.

699
00:32:09,845 --> 00:32:12,847
I'm glad we bumped
into each other.

700
00:32:12,848 --> 00:32:15,725
- Well, actually,
you bumped into me.

701
00:32:15,726 --> 00:32:19,270
- [chuckles]
- Right.

702
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:20,606
- Good night, Willow.

703
00:32:21,690 --> 00:32:25,903
- [scoffs] Good night, Zach.

704
00:32:28,572 --> 00:32:31,949
No, Willow. No.

705
00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:36,121
You are on set a couple weeks,
and then you move on.

706
00:32:37,665 --> 00:32:38,916
[Willow groans]

707
00:32:40,501 --> 00:32:41,584
[Willow blows raspberry]

708
00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:43,211
- [Terra]
Oh, good, you're back.

709
00:32:43,212 --> 00:32:44,754
This is Bradley.

710
00:32:44,755 --> 00:32:46,589
He'll be reading
Lord Witherton.

711
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:47,925
- What's happening?

712
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:50,426
[Bradley clears throat]

713
00:32:50,427 --> 00:32:53,096
- Um, Lady Witherton,
my goodness...

714
00:32:53,097 --> 00:32:55,264
- Isn't it wonderful?

715
00:32:55,265 --> 00:32:58,434
- The guests will arrive soon,
and you dally by this tree.

716
00:32:58,435 --> 00:33:01,854
- Details are the very measure
of perfection, Lord Witherton.

717
00:33:01,855 --> 00:33:03,272
Everything must be perfect

718
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:06,526
for our first Christmas ball
as husband and wife.

719
00:33:06,527 --> 00:33:11,531
Just imagine the candles aglow
as music fills the room

720
00:33:11,532 --> 00:33:14,742
as couples entwined in
an embrace dance a waltz.

721
00:33:14,743 --> 00:33:18,955
That is the very measure
of perfection, Lord Witherton.

722
00:33:18,956 --> 00:33:20,498
- It's as fabulous as you are.

723
00:33:20,499 --> 00:33:23,919
- [giggling] Lord Witherton,
you flatter me.

724
00:33:27,381 --> 00:33:30,091
At this point, Lord Witherton
takes Lady Witherton's hand

725
00:33:30,092 --> 00:33:31,844
and pulls her in for a kiss.

726
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:34,303
Bradley!

727
00:33:34,304 --> 00:33:36,055
[Terra giggling]

728
00:33:36,056 --> 00:33:37,932
The guests,
what will they think?

729
00:33:37,933 --> 00:33:40,268
- Let them think what they want.

730
00:33:40,269 --> 00:33:41,936
- Oh, dear husband,

731
00:33:41,937 --> 00:33:44,897
the joy that fills me
to be here with you

732
00:33:44,898 --> 00:33:48,735
as we celebrate Christmas
at Witherton Abbey.

733
00:33:48,736 --> 00:33:51,028
- Uh, Terra...
- We can start over.

734
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:52,113
I haven't read in a while,
and I'm kind of rusty,

735
00:33:52,114 --> 00:33:53,239
and Bradley was really nervous.

736
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:54,782
- Terra--
- I--

737
00:33:54,783 --> 00:33:57,326
You didn't like it, did you?
I--I can do a different scene.

738
00:33:57,327 --> 00:34:00,747
- No, no. It--it was fine.
It was great.

739
00:34:00,748 --> 00:34:02,874
I just, I don't do casting.

740
00:34:02,875 --> 00:34:04,333
- Can you get me an audition?
[chuckles]

741
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:07,920
- [chuckles] Um, look, I'm...
I'm really tired.

742
00:34:07,921 --> 00:34:10,089
I'm sorry, but, um,
I'm gonna go to bed.

743
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:11,549
But good job.

744
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:14,343
Good night.
Terra and Brent.

745
00:34:14,344 --> 00:34:15,720
It... it's Bradley.

746
00:34:15,721 --> 00:34:17,764
- Ssshhh.

747
00:34:17,765 --> 00:34:22,978
[playful tune]

748
00:34:26,607 --> 00:34:29,484
[footsteps]

749
00:34:29,485 --> 00:34:31,527
- Oh, hey, Mary.

750
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:33,362
- [Mary] Willow, how are you?
How was your room?

751
00:34:33,363 --> 00:34:35,323
- [Willow] Great.
Everything's great.

752
00:34:35,324 --> 00:34:36,991
Um, hey,
have you thought any more

753
00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:38,743
about letting us film
at the inn?

754
00:34:38,744 --> 00:34:40,661
I mean,
it's so cozy and charming.

755
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:43,122
It would look magical on screen.

756
00:34:43,123 --> 00:34:45,792
I mean, think of everybody
at Christmastime

757
00:34:45,793 --> 00:34:47,543
huddled around
the Christmas tree

758
00:34:47,544 --> 00:34:52,089
watching movies,
and they see Mistletoe Inn.

759
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:54,467
- It's not gonna happen.
- [Willow groans]

760
00:34:54,468 --> 00:34:56,260
- Feel free to grab a scarf
on your way out.

761
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:57,512
It's cold today.

762
00:34:57,513 --> 00:34:58,721

This is perfect.

This town is perfect.

781
00:36:09,251 --> 00:36:11,836
- Thank you.
- [Willow] Oh. Excuse me?

782
00:36:11,837 --> 00:36:14,130
- Mistletoe is perfect.

783
00:36:14,131 --> 00:36:15,882
I'm Don Worley,
the town's attorney.

784
00:36:15,883 --> 00:36:17,341
- Oh, Mr. Worley,
nice to meet you.

785
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:18,509
I'm Willow Bends.

786
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:20,469
I've actually been meaning
to talk to you

787
00:36:20,470 --> 00:36:22,680
about getting some permits
for shooting around town.

788
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:24,265
- [Don] I heard.

789
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,100
We're actually having
a town hall meeting tonight

790
00:36:26,101 --> 00:36:28,853
about your movie
at the Mistletoe Inn.

791
00:36:28,854 --> 00:36:31,606
- I'd like for you to be there.
- Of course. I appreciate it.

792
00:36:31,607 --> 00:36:33,649
- Zach has pretty much
convinced everyone

793
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:35,693
that your movie will
be great for Mistletoe,

794
00:36:35,694 --> 00:36:39,155
but I'd like to learn more
before I decide that's true.

795
00:36:39,156 --> 00:36:40,781
I do expect Hollywood
to dot all their I's

796
00:36:40,782 --> 00:36:41,949
and cross all their T's.

797
00:36:41,950 --> 00:36:43,451
- Well, Atlanta,
not Hollywood.

798
00:36:43,452 --> 00:36:45,119
- Half a dozen of one.

799
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,332
- I have scouted a hundred towns
for a hundred Christmas movies.

800
00:36:49,333 --> 00:36:50,875
I've worked with
small independent

801
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:52,251
production companies,

802
00:36:52,252 --> 00:36:54,295
and I have worked
with big studios.

803
00:36:54,296 --> 00:36:56,756
And one thing remains constant:

804
00:36:56,757 --> 00:37:00,259
I always leave a town
better than when I found it.

805
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:03,262
My name precedes me,
and my actions follow me.

806
00:37:03,263 --> 00:37:06,057
And I promise you
I will treat Mistletoe

807
00:37:06,058 --> 00:37:08,809
as though it is
my own hometown.

808
00:37:08,810 --> 00:37:10,436
- And what's your hometown?

809
00:37:10,437 --> 00:37:11,854
- Chicago.

810
00:37:11,855 --> 00:37:13,941
- Hmm.

811
00:37:14,066 --> 00:37:16,651
Well, anyway,
Zach is a great guy.

812
00:37:16,652 --> 00:37:17,985
His name precedes you,

813
00:37:17,986 --> 00:37:19,737
and your actions
will follow him.

814
00:37:19,738 --> 00:37:22,365
So tread gently on my town.

815
00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:24,116
And if the rest
of the town signs off,

816
00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:25,785
then you and I are good.

817
00:37:25,786 --> 00:37:27,995
- Yes, sir.

818
00:37:27,996 --> 00:37:31,165
- But I just want you to know
that no matter what you do,

819
00:37:31,166 --> 00:37:32,626
it's not gonna happen.

820
00:37:35,879 --> 00:37:36,922
- Oh.

821
00:37:37,714 --> 00:37:40,800
- Oh, God.
- I am so sorry about last night.

822
00:37:40,801 --> 00:37:42,009
I kind of ambushed you.

823
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:43,260
It's just there's not a lot

824
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:44,804
of acting opportunities
around here.

825
00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:46,555
- No, you're good. Really.

826
00:37:46,556 --> 00:37:49,809
I mean, if, if I had my say,
I--I would cast you.

827
00:37:49,810 --> 00:37:52,770
- Thank you.
I appreciate it.

828
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:56,232
If there's anything you can do,
I'm open to any part.

829
00:37:56,233 --> 00:37:58,359
It--it doesn't have
to be the lead,

830
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,611
unless you think I could be.

831
00:38:00,612 --> 00:38:01,946
You think?

832
00:38:01,947 --> 00:38:03,864
The lead, that would be amazing.

833
00:38:03,865 --> 00:38:05,700
Can you tell me
about the lead?

834
00:38:05,701 --> 00:38:08,661
- Um, 30s, brunette.

835
00:38:08,662 --> 00:38:10,746
Blondes are a little last year.

836
00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:12,623
She's pretty,
but not too pretty.

837
00:38:12,624 --> 00:38:14,583
We need the audience to relate.

838
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:18,337
She's got a twinkle in her eye,
a song in her heart,

839
00:38:18,338 --> 00:38:20,339
with just a dash
of vulnerability.

840
00:38:20,340 --> 00:38:22,800
In 90 minutes,
she saves the inn,

841
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:27,055
meets her true love, and
finds her Christmas... spirit.

842
00:38:28,890 --> 00:38:30,725
- I could dye my hair.

843
00:38:30,726 --> 00:38:33,978
- [chuckles]
Terra, I love your enthusiasm.

844
00:38:33,979 --> 00:38:37,857
Really, I--I do,
but that'll fade

845
00:38:37,858 --> 00:38:39,650
with every audition.

846
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,861
But I mean, I don't know.
If you really want it

847
00:38:41,862 --> 00:38:46,282
and believe in yourself
and keep going,

848
00:38:46,283 --> 00:38:50,828
I... I know that you will--

849
00:38:50,829 --> 00:38:53,080
uh... [chuckles awkwardly]

850
00:38:53,081 --> 00:38:55,458
Well, good luck anyway.

851
00:38:55,459 --> 00:38:57,084
And, um, oh!

852
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:58,669
Do you think
that you could talk to Mary

853
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:00,254
about letting me use the inn?

854
00:39:00,255 --> 00:39:01,964
- I'll talk to her later tonight.

855
00:39:01,965 --> 00:39:04,342
- Oh, okay, great.
Thank you.

856
00:39:12,851 --> 00:39:14,727
[car rumbling]

857
00:39:14,728 --> 00:39:20,066
[playful tune]

858
00:39:20,067 --> 00:39:22,276
- [Zach] Hey, Willow.

859
00:39:22,277 --> 00:39:23,861
- [Willow] Huh?
- [Zach] Something wrong?

860
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,197
- Uh, my car is gone.

861
00:39:26,198 --> 00:39:28,365
- Oh. Well, where'd you park?

862
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,242
- Right there.

863
00:39:30,243 --> 00:39:32,329
- Didn't you see the sign?

864
00:39:36,792 --> 00:39:38,043
- Apparently not.

865
00:39:38,627 --> 00:39:39,752
- That's weird.

866
00:39:39,753 --> 00:39:41,838
- There's usually a cone
blocking the spot.

867
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:47,677
[cone squeaking]

868
00:39:54,434 --> 00:39:56,394
- Well, can you fix it?

869
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:00,189
- Your ticket?
- Yeah.

870
00:40:00,190 --> 00:40:01,857
- You want me to use
my mayoral powers

871
00:40:01,858 --> 00:40:03,400
to fix a parking ticket?

872
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,778
- Yeah, I want you to use
all of your superpowers,

873
00:40:05,779 --> 00:40:07,696
because I need my car.

874
00:40:07,697 --> 00:40:11,283
- Okay. I'll make a call,
but you owe me.

875
00:40:11,284 --> 00:40:13,452
This is the second ticket
I've fixed for you, right?

876
00:40:13,453 --> 00:40:16,539
That bah humbug ticket
is a class three misdemeanor.

877
00:40:16,540 --> 00:40:18,249
You are now a two-time offender.

878
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:19,667
- Wow. Okay,

879
00:40:19,668 --> 00:40:21,085
so the bah humbug law
was serious.

880
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:22,336
- [Zach] Mm-hm.

881
00:40:22,337 --> 00:40:24,338
- [Willow] Are there any
other Christmas laws

882
00:40:24,339 --> 00:40:26,632
or ordinances
that I should be aware of?

883
00:40:26,633 --> 00:40:28,259
- [Zach] Mm.

884
00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:30,678
Well, the day
after Thanksgiving,

885
00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:33,848
all Christmas trees
must be up and decorated.

886
00:40:33,849 --> 00:40:36,142
Hot chocolate
and a Christmas movie

887
00:40:36,143 --> 00:40:38,102
playing while you decorate
is encouraged.

888
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:39,478
- Good to know.

889
00:40:39,479 --> 00:40:42,732
- Every citizen is required
to hum a Christmas song

890
00:40:42,858 --> 00:40:45,192
while they walk
along Main Street.

891
00:40:45,193 --> 00:40:46,652
Christmas sweaters
are encouraged

892
00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:48,195
but not required.

893
00:40:48,196 --> 00:40:49,613
- Should I be humming?

894
00:40:49,614 --> 00:40:52,491
- And if you find yourself
standing under a mistletoe

895
00:40:52,492 --> 00:40:55,202
with someone you care about...

896
00:40:55,203 --> 00:40:57,622
- [Willow] Yeah. What happens?

897
00:41:02,002 --> 00:41:04,211
- Okay, I--I did not plan this.
- [phone ringing]

898
00:41:04,212 --> 00:41:06,130
- Uh-huh.
- We are called Mistletoe.

899
00:41:06,131 --> 00:41:07,883
- It's everywhere.
- Sure.

900
00:41:09,259 --> 00:41:11,595
Oh. Uh, excuse me for a second.

901
00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:14,930
- Hey, Miranda.

902
00:41:14,931 --> 00:41:16,432
- How are the locations?

903
00:41:16,433 --> 00:41:18,184
I need the signed agreements.

904
00:41:18,185 --> 00:41:19,727
- Um, I'm working on it.

905
00:41:19,728 --> 00:41:20,895
- [Miranda] I can't do
the scheduling

906
00:41:20,896 --> 00:41:22,188
without the locations,

907
00:41:22,189 --> 00:41:23,940
and I need to do
the schedule now.

908
00:41:24,065 --> 00:41:25,608
- Well, they're having
a town meeting tonight

909
00:41:25,609 --> 00:41:28,235
to discuss the movie,
so I will call you back.

910
00:41:28,236 --> 00:41:29,820
- Very well, then.

911
00:41:29,821 --> 00:41:31,238
We added a montage.

912
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,783
Find some Christmas cheer.
You know, the usual.

913
00:41:34,784 --> 00:41:35,660
[phone clicks]

914
00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:38,871
[Willow sighs]

915
00:41:38,872 --> 00:41:40,624
- Everything good?
- [Willow] Yeah.

916
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:46,587
- [protesters] Mistletoe says
no, no to Hollywood!

917
00:41:46,588 --> 00:41:57,681
Mistletoe says no,
no to Hollywood!

918
00:41:57,682 --> 00:41:59,266
- [Myrtle]
You must be Willow Bends,

919
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:00,559
that movie director.

920
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,353
I saw you at the coffee shop
the other day.

921
00:42:02,354 --> 00:42:04,939
I'm Myrtle, and this
is my best friend, Grace.

922
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:06,857
- Well, I'm not
a movie director yet.

923
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:09,485
I--I just do locations.
[chuckles awkwardly]

924
00:42:09,486 --> 00:42:11,445
- It is so nice to
meet you, Willow.

925
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:14,031
I hope you're enjoying
your stay in Mistletoe.

926
00:42:14,032 --> 00:42:17,409
- Oh, yeah.
Just like the town sign says,

927
00:42:17,410 --> 00:42:19,495
it's the friendliest
little town.

928
00:42:19,496 --> 00:42:22,039
- Yeah, yeah. Yep.
- We are. [chuckles]

929
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,668
[in unison] Mistletoe says no,
no to Hollywood!

930
00:42:25,669 --> 00:42:32,716
Mistletoe says no,
no to Hollywood!

931
00:42:32,717 --> 00:42:34,885
Mistletoe says no, no...

932
00:42:34,886 --> 00:42:39,516
[tense music]

933
00:42:43,645 --> 00:42:45,272
- I got this. Don't worry.

934
00:42:46,815 --> 00:42:48,899
[indistinct chatter]

935
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:53,989
[tense music]

936
00:42:57,867 --> 00:43:03,163
[indistinct chatter]

937
00:43:03,164 --> 00:43:07,251
[indistinct whispering]

938
00:43:07,252 --> 00:43:13,133
[tense music continues]

939
00:43:25,061 --> 00:43:26,563
Quiet, everyone.

940
00:43:27,439 --> 00:43:28,523
Please.

941
00:43:30,317 --> 00:43:35,112
Everyone knows Willow
is here scouting locations

942
00:43:35,113 --> 00:43:38,073
for a Christmas movie.

943
00:43:38,074 --> 00:43:41,744
And I think it would be great
for Mistletoe,

944
00:43:41,745 --> 00:43:43,830
but I want to get
everyone's input.

945
00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:47,249
Yes, Ruth?

946
00:43:47,250 --> 00:43:50,377
- I, for one, say no.

947
00:43:50,378 --> 00:43:52,714
Mistletoe is a hidden gem.

948
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,175
I think we should stay hidden.

949
00:43:56,176 --> 00:43:58,969
We don't want a lot
of tourists coming to the town

950
00:43:58,970 --> 00:44:02,765
to see the place where
the Christmas movie was filmed.

951
00:44:02,766 --> 00:44:05,643
I don't think we need
that kind of trouble.

952
00:44:07,228 --> 00:44:08,479
- [whispers] Who is that?

953
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,274
- [whispers]
That is Ruth Stern.

954
00:44:11,399 --> 00:44:13,275
She's president of the MF'rs.

955
00:44:13,276 --> 00:44:15,027
- [whispers] Who?

956
00:44:15,028 --> 00:44:16,779
- [whispers] The MF'rs.

957
00:44:16,780 --> 00:44:19,990
- [whispers] I don't think
I'm hearing you right.

958
00:44:19,991 --> 00:44:22,326
- [whispers] The Mistletoe
Founders Restoration Society.

959
00:44:22,327 --> 00:44:23,703
MFRS.

960
00:44:24,621 --> 00:44:26,663
- [whispers]
Oh, that makes more sense.

961
00:44:26,664 --> 00:44:28,374
- [Terra whispers] Yeah.

962
00:44:28,375 --> 00:44:30,000
- [Zach] The Downtown
Development Commission

963
00:44:30,001 --> 00:44:32,211
would welcome tourists.

964
00:44:32,212 --> 00:44:36,256
Believe me, we need people
coming into town,

965
00:44:36,257 --> 00:44:38,967
spending money at restaurants
and businesses.

966
00:44:38,968 --> 00:44:41,387
- Who is this Red Herring Films?

967
00:44:41,388 --> 00:44:44,431
- Oh, they are
a reputable production company

968
00:44:44,432 --> 00:44:47,017
out of Atlanta, not Hollywood.

969
00:44:47,018 --> 00:44:50,312
You know their movies.
Paws for Christmas,

970
00:44:50,313 --> 00:44:51,730
A Christmas Bride,

971
00:44:51,731 --> 00:44:54,775
and they just wrapped
Christmas Cupcake.

972
00:44:54,776 --> 00:44:56,610
I was on set the whole time,

973
00:44:56,611 --> 00:44:58,487
and they were very professional

974
00:44:58,488 --> 00:45:01,199
and respectful
with their locations.

975
00:45:03,118 --> 00:45:07,162
- I can vouch for Willow.
And I'm going to be with her

976
00:45:07,163 --> 00:45:09,623
the entire time
during filming,

977
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:11,251
if we all agree.

978
00:45:13,837 --> 00:45:18,215
So the town of Mistletoe
will be in a Christmas movie.

979
00:45:18,216 --> 00:45:19,341
[Ruth clears throat]

980
00:45:19,342 --> 00:45:24,222
[suspenseful music]

981
00:45:31,271 --> 00:45:33,189
- [unison] No.

982
00:45:34,023 --> 00:45:37,068
- [chuckles]
That decides it, then.

983
00:45:46,327 --> 00:45:48,454
[indistinct whispering]

984
00:45:48,455 --> 00:45:49,831
- [Ruth] Don't worry.

985
00:45:51,374 --> 00:45:53,083
- Hey. This isn't over yet.

986
00:45:53,084 --> 00:45:55,002
- I thought you said
I was likable.

987
00:45:55,003 --> 00:45:57,629
I don't think they
like me very much.

988
00:45:57,630 --> 00:45:59,882
I mean, how do I get
on Ruth's good side?

989
00:45:59,883 --> 00:46:02,009
- Ruth doesn't have a good side.

990
00:46:02,010 --> 00:46:04,011
- All right. Well, it's hopeless.

991
00:46:04,012 --> 00:46:05,762
I mean, I'm gonna have
to find another town.

992
00:46:05,763 --> 00:46:08,725
- No, no. Don't go yet.
Just... one... hold on.

993
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:14,646
- [giggles] Hi. I'm Jennifer.

994
00:46:14,647 --> 00:46:16,483
I'm on the
Mistletoe Ball committee.

995
00:46:16,608 --> 00:46:20,319
So just let me know
if there's anything you need.

996
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,487
Okay?

997
00:46:21,488 --> 00:46:24,574
- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.

998
00:46:25,825 --> 00:46:28,328
[footsteps receding]

999
00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:35,667
- [Willow]
Hey, Miranda, it's Willow.

1000
00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:36,877
- [Miranda] Yes.

1001
00:46:36,878 --> 00:46:40,088
- We may have run
into a little bit of a snag.

1002
00:46:40,089 --> 00:46:42,132
- [Miranda] What kind of snag?

1003
00:46:42,133 --> 00:46:43,675
- It's the MF'rs.

1004
00:46:43,676 --> 00:46:46,053
- There's no need to use
that kind of language.

1005
00:46:46,054 --> 00:46:50,349
- No. The Mistletoe Founders
Restoration Society.

1006
00:46:50,350 --> 00:46:52,226
- What's the problem?

1007
00:46:52,227 --> 00:46:54,102
- They won't let us film.

1008
00:46:54,103 --> 00:46:55,062
- [Miranda] Why not?

1009
00:46:55,063 --> 00:46:56,647
- I don't know.

1010
00:46:56,648 --> 00:46:58,857
- If it doesn't happen
in the next couple of days,

1011
00:46:58,858 --> 00:46:59,984
move on!

1012
00:47:01,236 --> 00:47:02,195
[phone clicks]

1013
00:47:05,406 --> 00:47:08,575
- [Zach] Everything okay?
- [sighs] Um... yeah.

1014
00:47:08,576 --> 00:47:09,827
It will be.

1015
00:47:11,704 --> 00:47:13,915
- Well, I pulled these up
from the basement.

1016
00:47:15,291 --> 00:47:17,834
It is tradition
at the Mistletoe Inn

1017
00:47:17,835 --> 00:47:20,170
to have guests help
decorate the tree.

1018
00:47:20,171 --> 00:47:21,005
- [Willow] Mm.

1019
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:26,761
Oh. My mom had an ornament
just like this.

1020
00:47:28,221 --> 00:47:29,847
It was her mother's.

1021
00:47:32,392 --> 00:47:33,601
- [Zach] It's beautiful.

1022
00:47:35,436 --> 00:47:37,271
- [Willow] So tell me
about your Christmases

1023
00:47:37,272 --> 00:47:39,566
growing up here in Mistletoe.

1024
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:41,858
- Well, I grew up here
at the inn,

1025
00:47:41,859 --> 00:47:44,778
- [Willow] Mm-hm.
- and every Christmas,

1026
00:47:44,779 --> 00:47:47,239
we would have guests,

1027
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:51,451
and my dad would play Santa,
pass out gifts to all the kids,

1028
00:47:51,452 --> 00:47:56,331
and my mom, she would cook
this big Christmas dinner.

1029
00:47:56,332 --> 00:47:58,875
What about you?

1030
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:02,713
- My mom and sister and I
would bake Christmas cookies

1031
00:48:02,714 --> 00:48:04,840
and watch Christmas movies.

1032
00:48:04,841 --> 00:48:06,883
I used to love
watching Christmas movies.

1033
00:48:06,884 --> 00:48:10,554
[chuckles] And Jan and I--
that's my older sister--

1034
00:48:10,555 --> 00:48:13,223
we would try and stay up
all night Christmas Eve

1035
00:48:13,224 --> 00:48:15,559
and catch Santa.

1036
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,605
It made for a pretty
perfect Christmas.

1037
00:48:20,815 --> 00:48:23,150
Uh... one sec.

1038
00:48:23,151 --> 00:48:24,402
[footsteps]

1039
00:48:30,241 --> 00:48:33,828
I haven't shown anyone
other than my sister this.

1040
00:48:35,705 --> 00:48:37,456
- [Zach] A Perfect Christmas.
- [chuckles]

1041
00:48:37,457 --> 00:48:38,624
It's a working title

1042
00:48:38,625 --> 00:48:41,585
based on my
childhood Christmases.

1043
00:48:41,586 --> 00:48:44,087
I want to direct it someday.

1044
00:48:44,088 --> 00:48:45,839
It's not very good.

1045
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,383
It's definitely
a work in progress.

1046
00:48:48,384 --> 00:48:50,010
- I'd like to read it.

1047
00:48:50,011 --> 00:48:51,762
- Sure. Sometime.

1048
00:48:51,763 --> 00:48:54,514
- I'd really like to read it.

1049
00:48:54,515 --> 00:48:55,808
- Maybe.

1050
00:48:57,226 --> 00:48:59,436
- Now.
- [Willow] Okay.

1051
00:48:59,437 --> 00:49:04,359
[playful tune]

1052
00:49:21,542 --> 00:49:25,922
[playful tune continues]

1053
00:49:49,112 --> 00:49:50,779
So what do you think?

1054
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:51,864
Is it good?

1055
00:49:52,907 --> 00:49:55,076
- Yeah. It's good.

1056
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:59,121
- What's wrong with it?

1057
00:49:59,122 --> 00:50:02,124
- [sighs] Well, like,
the part where the father

1058
00:50:02,125 --> 00:50:05,168
leaves on Christmas Eve.
That's kind of sad.

1059
00:50:05,169 --> 00:50:07,796
- Well, it's based on my life.

1060
00:50:07,797 --> 00:50:10,633
I mean, my dad did leave
on Christmas when I was five.

1061
00:50:12,427 --> 00:50:14,553
- I'm sorry to hear that.

1062
00:50:14,554 --> 00:50:16,222
- What else is wrong with it?

1063
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:20,434
- Okay. Like, well...

1064
00:50:20,435 --> 00:50:22,185
I didn't really connect
with the lead character.

1065
00:50:22,186 --> 00:50:24,104
- I'm the lead character.
- I know.

1066
00:50:24,105 --> 00:50:26,899
- What? So you're not
connecting with me?

1067
00:50:27,024 --> 00:50:30,068
- [Zach] Not in the script,
I'm not.

1068
00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:33,029
- Well, I mean,
what do you know anyway?

1069
00:50:33,030 --> 00:50:34,614
I mean, how many screenplays
have you written?

1070
00:50:34,615 --> 00:50:35,741
- Okay, don't get defensive.

1071
00:50:35,742 --> 00:50:37,242
You asked for my honest opinion.

1072
00:50:37,243 --> 00:50:39,202
- Well, I didn't want you
to actually give it.

1073
00:50:39,203 --> 00:50:40,787
- Well, if you don't want
to hear someone's opinion,

1074
00:50:40,788 --> 00:50:42,457
you shouldn't ask for it.

1075
00:50:45,460 --> 00:50:46,461
[Willow scoffs]

1076
00:50:52,383 --> 00:50:57,929
[fire crackling]

1077
00:50:57,930 --> 00:51:03,019
[tense music]

1078
00:51:09,609 --> 00:51:14,405
[beaters whirring]

1079
00:51:16,115 --> 00:51:17,783
- Oh. Mary. Sorry.

1080
00:51:17,784 --> 00:51:19,409
I didn't know anyone
was in here.

1081
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:21,996
Um, just gonna put this
in the sink.

1082
00:51:24,248 --> 00:51:26,625
- You're causing quite the ruckus
in Mistletoe,

1083
00:51:26,626 --> 00:51:28,376
Willow Bends from Hollywood.

1084
00:51:28,377 --> 00:51:31,630
- Oh, Chicago.
I'm from Chicago.

1085
00:51:31,631 --> 00:51:33,381
- Half a dozen of one.

1086
00:51:33,382 --> 00:51:34,424
Wash your hands.

1087
00:51:34,425 --> 00:51:37,093
- Huh?
- Hands.

1088
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:38,012
- Oh.

1089
00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:46,187
[water running]

1090
00:51:52,193 --> 00:51:56,613
Oh. Okay.

1091
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:59,033
Very Christmassy.

1092
00:52:00,910 --> 00:52:02,828
- You take your butter
and your sugar,

1093
00:52:02,829 --> 00:52:05,205
and you cream them together.

1094
00:52:05,206 --> 00:52:06,873
- Okay.

1095
00:52:06,874 --> 00:52:08,875
- And gently mix in the flour.

1096
00:52:08,876 --> 00:52:10,127
[Willow chuckles]

1097
00:52:19,554 --> 00:52:21,263
- [Mary] Zach has been saying
what a great opportunity

1098
00:52:21,264 --> 00:52:22,931
it would be to have
a movie filmed here.

1099
00:52:22,932 --> 00:52:24,057
- Oh. Well, it would be.

1100
00:52:24,058 --> 00:52:26,142
I mean,
tourism helps the economy,

1101
00:52:26,143 --> 00:52:29,354
and especially in a small town
like Mistletoe.

1102
00:52:29,355 --> 00:52:31,566
- Zach's been saying
nice things about you.

1103
00:52:33,067 --> 00:52:36,152
- What kind of nice things
has he been saying about me?

1104
00:52:36,153 --> 00:52:38,405
- Just that you're not
what we think Hollywood people

1105
00:52:38,406 --> 00:52:39,698
would be like.

1106
00:52:39,699 --> 00:52:43,493
You seem down-to-earth
and normal and sweet...

1107
00:52:43,494 --> 00:52:44,537
and pretty.

1108
00:52:45,997 --> 00:52:47,789
- Zach said I was pretty?

1109
00:52:47,790 --> 00:52:49,499
- Not in so many words,

1110
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:51,711
but I can see
that he's attracted to you.

1111
00:52:53,546 --> 00:52:55,964
- Well, none of that
really matters.

1112
00:52:55,965 --> 00:52:57,340
If I can't get permission
to film,

1113
00:52:57,341 --> 00:53:00,093
I'll have to go
on to another town.

1114
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:02,637
- You will be hard-pressed
changing Ruth's mind.

1115
00:53:02,638 --> 00:53:05,057
- Why doesn't Ruth
want to film in Mistletoe?

1116
00:53:06,142 --> 00:53:08,435
- Ruth is my longtime
close friend.

1117
00:53:08,436 --> 00:53:11,063
She has her reasons,
and I respect that.

1118
00:53:13,316 --> 00:53:15,942
I'm not one to talk
about other people's business.

1119
00:53:15,943 --> 00:53:17,736
That's for her to tell you.

1120
00:53:17,737 --> 00:53:19,030
- [Willow] Mm.

1121
00:53:28,414 --> 00:53:30,290
Mm.

1122
00:53:30,291 --> 00:53:31,876
These are delicious.

1123
00:53:34,003 --> 00:53:36,880
You know, this is really nice.

1124
00:53:36,881 --> 00:53:38,965
Brings back fond memories.

1125
00:53:38,966 --> 00:53:41,301
- That's what Christmas is about.
- [Willow chuckles]

1126
00:53:41,302 --> 00:53:44,512
Celebrating old memories
and creating new ones.

1127
00:53:44,513 --> 00:53:45,640
[Willow chuckles]

1128
00:53:48,184 --> 00:53:48,934
[clatters]

1129
00:53:48,935 --> 00:53:50,519
- [Willow] Whoo!

1130
00:53:54,190 --> 00:53:55,107
- [Jan] Hey, Willow.

1131
00:53:55,232 --> 00:53:56,566
How are you doing?

1132
00:53:56,567 --> 00:53:57,776
- Hey, sis.

1133
00:53:57,777 --> 00:53:58,860
- How's the scouting going?

1134
00:53:58,861 --> 00:54:01,112
- Good.

1135
00:54:01,113 --> 00:54:02,697
Good.
Everything's pretty good.

1136
00:54:02,698 --> 00:54:04,074
- I can't understand you.

1137
00:54:04,075 --> 00:54:06,117
Are you eating something?

1138
00:54:06,118 --> 00:54:07,577
- Yeah, sorry.

1139
00:54:07,578 --> 00:54:09,162
I made a batch
of Christmas cookies,

1140
00:54:09,163 --> 00:54:11,039
and I couldn't resist.

1141
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,832
- Did you say Christmas cookies?

1142
00:54:12,833 --> 00:54:15,168
When was the last time
you baked Christmas cookies?

1143
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:16,920
- With you and Mom.

1144
00:54:16,921 --> 00:54:18,630
- [Jan] You sound strange.

1145
00:54:18,631 --> 00:54:19,714
Is everything okay?

1146
00:54:19,715 --> 00:54:20,757
- Yeah.

1147
00:54:20,758 --> 00:54:22,593
I feel kind of strange.

1148
00:54:23,552 --> 00:54:25,178
Like...

1149
00:54:25,179 --> 00:54:26,638
- Like what?
- Nothing.

1150
00:54:26,639 --> 00:54:30,976
I was just missing you
and Mom and...

1151
00:54:30,977 --> 00:54:32,936
sad I'm not gonna celebrate
Christmas with you.

1152
00:54:32,937 --> 00:54:36,106
- Come home. We miss you.

1153
00:54:36,107 --> 00:54:39,567
- [chuckles] Oh. Hey, Jan.

1154
00:54:39,568 --> 00:54:41,194
- Yeah?

1155
00:54:41,195 --> 00:54:43,029
- I took out my script.

1156
00:54:43,030 --> 00:54:44,572
- [Jan] You took out
your script?

1157
00:54:44,573 --> 00:54:46,783
You haven't done that in years.

1158
00:54:46,784 --> 00:54:48,618
- [Willow] Yeah.

1159
00:54:48,619 --> 00:54:50,537
- What made you do that now?
- [Willow] I don't know.

1160
00:54:50,538 --> 00:54:52,831
I guess just thinking
about you and Mom

1161
00:54:52,832 --> 00:54:55,709
made me want to write again.

1162
00:54:55,710 --> 00:54:57,794
- [Jan] You should.

1163
00:54:57,795 --> 00:55:00,463
You're a really good writer.

1164
00:55:00,464 --> 00:55:04,801
You know, I can hear you
eating a Christmas cookie.

1165
00:55:04,802 --> 00:55:08,179
- Sorry. [chuckles]
It's really good.

1166
00:55:08,180 --> 00:55:09,931
Mary is such a good baker.

1167
00:55:09,932 --> 00:55:12,017
- Wait, who's Mary?

1168
00:55:12,018 --> 00:55:15,395
- Mary. She owns the inn.

1169
00:55:15,396 --> 00:55:16,604
- What inn?

1170
00:55:16,605 --> 00:55:18,773
- Mistletoe Inn.
She's Zach's mom.

1171
00:55:18,774 --> 00:55:20,233
- Who's Zach?

1172
00:55:20,234 --> 00:55:21,818
- Okay, let me bring you
up to speed.

1173
00:55:21,819 --> 00:55:23,236
Remember I'm in Mistletoe?

1174
00:55:23,237 --> 00:55:26,239
- Oh, the mountain town.
- Yes.

1175
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:29,075
And I'm staying
at the Mistletoe Inn,

1176
00:55:29,076 --> 00:55:30,744
the historic inn,
and the mayor--

1177
00:55:30,745 --> 00:55:32,662
- Who's the mayor?

1178
00:55:32,663 --> 00:55:33,913
- Zach's the mayor.

1179
00:55:33,914 --> 00:55:35,749
Wow, you're really not
getting it, are you?

1180
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:37,083
- Sorry.

1181
00:55:37,084 --> 00:55:39,502
- Anyway, Zach's really cute,

1182
00:55:39,503 --> 00:55:42,047
and he's helping me
find locations for this movie.

1183
00:55:42,048 --> 00:55:43,631
- Oh, the mayor.

1184
00:55:43,632 --> 00:55:45,050
He's cute, huh?

1185
00:55:45,051 --> 00:55:46,801
- Yes. Now you're getting it.

1186
00:55:46,802 --> 00:55:49,304
The problem is Ruth.

1187
00:55:49,305 --> 00:55:51,306
- Who's Ruth?
- She's an MF'r.

1188
00:55:51,307 --> 00:55:53,433
- [laughs] Willow!

1189
00:55:53,434 --> 00:55:55,769
That's not very nice!

1190
00:55:55,770 --> 00:55:58,229
No, Ruth is the president

1191
00:55:58,230 --> 00:56:01,858
of the Mistletoe Founders
Restoration Society,

1192
00:56:01,859 --> 00:56:04,694
and she thinks Mistletoe
is a gem of a town,

1193
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:06,071
and she wants
to keep it that way.

1194
00:56:06,072 --> 00:56:07,822
- You'll convince her.

1195
00:56:07,823 --> 00:56:08,990
You're likable.

1196
00:56:08,991 --> 00:56:11,826
- I am very likable, aren't I?

1197
00:56:11,827 --> 00:56:13,370
- Does Zach find you likable?

1198
00:56:16,916 --> 00:56:18,833
Do you find Zach likable?

1199
00:56:18,834 --> 00:56:21,795
- I don't know, Jan.
It isn't high school.

1200
00:56:21,796 --> 00:56:24,255
I don't know.

1201
00:56:24,256 --> 00:56:25,800
- I'm very happy for you, Willow.

1202
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:28,885
[knocks on door]

1203
00:56:28,886 --> 00:56:30,930
- Oh. Sorry, sis.
I gotta go.

1204
00:56:36,102 --> 00:56:37,645
[door hinges creak]

1205
00:56:42,191 --> 00:56:46,111
[gentle piano chords]

1206
00:56:46,112 --> 00:56:47,654
- [Zach]
I'm sorry about the script.

1207
00:56:47,655 --> 00:56:48,863
You're right.

1208
00:56:48,864 --> 00:56:50,824
I don't know what
I'm talking about.

1209
00:56:50,825 --> 00:56:52,951
- No, you're right.

1210
00:56:52,952 --> 00:56:57,705
I asked for your opinion,
and it's not very good.

1211
00:56:57,706 --> 00:57:01,627
[melodic piano]

1212
00:57:04,296 --> 00:57:07,841
- My favorite Christmas movie
is playing tomorrow.

1213
00:57:07,842 --> 00:57:09,301
Do you want to go?

1214
00:57:11,470 --> 00:57:14,139
I'll buy you popcorn.

1215
00:57:14,140 --> 00:57:16,891
Maybe a drink.

1216
00:57:16,892 --> 00:57:18,143
It's a special movie

1217
00:57:18,144 --> 00:57:20,311
they play every year
in Mistletoe.

1218
00:57:20,312 --> 00:57:22,147
- You had me at popcorn.

1219
00:57:22,148 --> 00:57:24,233
[chuckles] I'm in.

1220
00:57:30,030 --> 00:57:31,614
- Okay, I told you.

1221
00:57:31,615 --> 00:57:33,283
We're called Mistletoe.
They're everywhere.

1222
00:57:33,284 --> 00:57:35,786
- Uh-huh. Sure.

1223
00:57:37,663 --> 00:57:39,622
- [Zach sighs awkwardly]
- Good night.

1224
00:57:39,623 --> 00:57:40,916
- [Zach] Good night.
- [door thuds]

1225
00:57:46,005 --> 00:57:48,214
- "It was a Christmas
like no other.

1226
00:57:48,215 --> 00:57:49,799
Not since I was a little girl

1227
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:53,970
had I felt the way
I felt this year."

1228
00:57:53,971 --> 00:57:55,639
That's not so bad.

1229
00:57:56,849 --> 00:57:59,310
[paper rustling]

1230
00:58:01,270 --> 00:58:03,605
"Interior bakery. Day.

1231
00:58:03,606 --> 00:58:06,149
Jennifer, 30s, blonde, pretty,

1232
00:58:06,150 --> 00:58:08,444
hard at work
baking Christmas cookies."

1233
00:58:10,654 --> 00:58:11,989
Ugh.

1234
00:58:14,867 --> 00:58:16,076
[script thuds]

1235
00:58:18,495 --> 00:58:23,500
[gentle piano chords]

1236
00:58:26,045 --> 00:58:30,591
[keyboard clacking]

1237
00:58:45,898 --> 00:58:47,774
[music ends]

1238
00:58:47,775 --> 00:58:51,027
[footsteps]

1239
00:58:51,028 --> 00:58:54,447
[Willow yawning]

1240
00:58:54,448 --> 00:58:56,115
- Oh, good. You're up.

1241
00:58:56,116 --> 00:58:57,533
- Did you dye your hair?

1242
00:58:57,534 --> 00:58:59,285
- It's a wig. Sit down.

1243
00:58:59,286 --> 00:59:01,412
- Just came down for coffee. I--

1244
00:59:01,413 --> 00:59:03,373
- [Terra] Bradley and I
watched Paws for Christmas.

1245
00:59:03,374 --> 00:59:04,874
- What...

1246
00:59:04,875 --> 00:59:06,668
- [Terra] Good movie.
- is happening?

1247
00:59:06,669 --> 00:59:08,461
She's just gonna go.

1248
00:59:08,462 --> 00:59:11,047
- Great locations, Willow.
Nice work.

1249
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:13,675
- I... just need coffee.

1250
00:59:13,676 --> 00:59:14,884
- We rehearsed a scene,

1251
00:59:14,885 --> 00:59:16,678
the one where the dog
gets hit by the car

1252
00:59:16,679 --> 00:59:19,222
and then Lily, the high-powered
marketing executive--

1253
00:59:19,223 --> 00:59:21,891
I'm playing Lily-- rushes him
to the country veterinarian,

1254
00:59:21,892 --> 00:59:23,351
her ex-boyfriend,
Doctor Chad Rivers--

1255
00:59:23,352 --> 00:59:24,979
[shouts] Bradley, get out here!

1256
00:59:28,065 --> 00:59:30,441
Bradley will be
playing Doc Rivers.

1257
00:59:30,442 --> 00:59:33,278
And... action.

1258
00:59:33,279 --> 00:59:36,239
Chad, please save Carly.

1259
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,451
I don't know what
I'll do if he... dies.

1260
00:59:40,619 --> 00:59:43,162
- He'll definitely need surgery.

1261
00:59:43,163 --> 00:59:44,706
- Will the surgery save him?

1262
00:59:44,707 --> 00:59:48,793
Aunt Linda loved him more than
anything in this world,

1263
00:59:48,794 --> 00:59:53,465
and she made me promise
to care for him and the inn.

1264
00:59:55,175 --> 00:59:56,467
- [Bradley] I can save him.

1265
00:59:56,468 --> 00:59:58,761
It'll be a long haul
with daily therapy

1266
00:59:58,762 --> 01:00:01,055
and months of recovery.

1267
01:00:01,056 --> 01:00:03,683
- But I have to leave
for New York tomorrow.

1268
01:00:03,684 --> 01:00:06,477
I have a big presentation
and a board meeting.

1269
01:00:06,478 --> 01:00:11,900
And... is this about Carly...
or you?

1270
01:00:12,026 --> 01:00:13,776
- I would never use Carly
to keep you here,

1271
01:00:13,777 --> 01:00:15,111
no matter how much I love you.

1272
01:00:15,112 --> 01:00:18,156
- You love me?

1273
01:00:18,157 --> 01:00:21,492
[dramatic sob] And... scene.

1274
01:00:21,493 --> 01:00:22,827
Willow, what did you think?

1275
01:00:22,828 --> 01:00:24,705
Bradley flubbed a line, but...

1276
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,750
Willow? Willow?!

1277
01:00:28,751 --> 01:00:30,126
- Uh-huh.

1278
01:00:30,127 --> 01:00:31,794
- We can start over.

1279
01:00:31,795 --> 01:00:33,129
- No, no.

1280
01:00:33,130 --> 01:00:35,465
That was great, Terra.

1281
01:00:35,466 --> 01:00:38,343
Yeah. Nice work, Brian.

1282
01:00:38,344 --> 01:00:40,429
- It's Bradley.
- I need coffee.

1283
01:00:44,016 --> 01:00:47,603
[gentle music]

1284
01:00:50,189 --> 01:00:51,607
[Willow chuckles] Come on.

1285
01:00:55,486 --> 01:00:56,944
Good morning, Mary.

1286
01:00:56,945 --> 01:00:58,780
- Good morning.

1287
01:00:58,781 --> 01:01:00,406
- Come on.

1288
01:01:00,407 --> 01:01:01,741
I enjoyed making
Christmas cookies

1289
01:01:01,742 --> 01:01:03,242
with you last night.

1290
01:01:03,243 --> 01:01:06,622
[indistinct] Oh, hi, Violet.

1291
01:01:07,915 --> 01:01:09,957
Aw.

1292
01:01:09,958 --> 01:01:11,293
[Willow chuckles]

1293
01:01:15,130 --> 01:01:16,547
Do you need any help?

1294
01:01:16,548 --> 01:01:18,716
- Yeah, grab those leaves.

1295
01:01:18,717 --> 01:01:20,260
- Okay.

1296
01:01:23,097 --> 01:01:24,347
- You know, if you keep
petting her,

1297
01:01:24,348 --> 01:01:25,848
she'll never leave you alone.

1298
01:01:25,849 --> 01:01:27,517
- [chuckles] That's okay.

1299
01:01:27,518 --> 01:01:31,062
I don't want her
to leave me alone.

1300
01:01:31,063 --> 01:01:33,649
Aw. [chuckles]

1301
01:01:36,485 --> 01:01:39,153
- I guess you'll be leaving soon?

1302
01:01:39,154 --> 01:01:40,406
- [Willow] Um...

1303
01:01:41,573 --> 01:01:43,367
What makes you say that?

1304
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,662
- I spoke with Ruth.

1305
01:01:47,663 --> 01:01:49,581
She won't be changing
her decision.

1306
01:01:50,874 --> 01:01:53,251
I have to stick
by her on this.

1307
01:01:53,252 --> 01:01:56,379
- So you're telling me
that just because one woman

1308
01:01:56,380 --> 01:01:58,673
doesn't want to make
a Christmas movie in Mistletoe

1309
01:01:58,674 --> 01:02:01,467
that the whole town
has to agree with her?

1310
01:02:01,468 --> 01:02:03,594
I mean, you need this.

1311
01:02:03,595 --> 01:02:05,012
Let me help you.

1312
01:02:05,013 --> 01:02:06,639
- Why would you say I need this?

1313
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,058
- Zach told me
the inn needs help.

1314
01:02:09,059 --> 01:02:11,394
- He told you that I was going
into foreclosure?

1315
01:02:11,395 --> 01:02:12,854
That was not his business
to tell you.

1316
01:02:12,855 --> 01:02:15,524
- Oh, he didn't tell me
foreclosure.

1317
01:02:15,649 --> 01:02:18,234
I--I didn't know
it was that bad.

1318
01:02:18,235 --> 01:02:20,863
Please. Let me help you.

1319
01:02:22,906 --> 01:02:25,825
- Why is Mistletoe
so important to you?

1320
01:02:25,826 --> 01:02:29,997
- Because I didn't
pick Mistletoe.

1321
01:02:30,706 --> 01:02:32,665
Mistletoe picked me.

1322
01:02:32,666 --> 01:02:35,084
- It did, did it?
- Yeah, it did.

1323
01:02:35,085 --> 01:02:38,254
I mean, what are the chances
that I'd close my eyes

1324
01:02:38,255 --> 01:02:40,298
and just put my finger on a map

1325
01:02:40,299 --> 01:02:43,885
and it was Mistletoe
to make a Christmas movie?

1326
01:02:43,886 --> 01:02:46,679
I mean, it wasn't
Syracuse or Hoboken.

1327
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,890
- Hoboken's nice.
I've been there.

1328
01:02:48,891 --> 01:02:50,725
- [chuckles]
And then I have a meet-cute

1329
01:02:50,726 --> 01:02:52,268
with the mayor.

1330
01:02:52,269 --> 01:02:53,769
- You lost me.

1331
01:02:53,770 --> 01:02:57,316
- I bump into the handsome
small-town bachelor.

1332
01:02:57,441 --> 01:02:59,817
- Zach is both of those things.
- [Willow chuckles]

1333
01:02:59,818 --> 01:03:01,861
And then I'm baking
Christmas cookies

1334
01:03:01,862 --> 01:03:03,946
and humming Christmas tunes.

1335
01:03:03,947 --> 01:03:07,867
- Well, that's a town ordinance,
and it all sounds normal.

1336
01:03:07,868 --> 01:03:09,869
- Well, it's not normal for me.

1337
01:03:09,870 --> 01:03:12,831
I'm a disillusioned
Christmas movie scout.

1338
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:17,794
Mistletoe chose me
for a reason.

1339
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:21,423
- Then we have to find
that reason.

1340
01:03:24,718 --> 01:03:30,097
[mellow music]

1341
01:03:30,098 --> 01:03:31,933
- Hey, Willow.
How's the movie coming?

1342
01:03:31,934 --> 01:03:33,935
- About to find out.
Oh, is Zach back there?

1343
01:03:33,936 --> 01:03:36,229
- Oh. Yeah, sure,
go ahead on back.

1344
01:03:36,230 --> 01:03:38,315
Let me know if there's
a part in it for me.

1345
01:03:42,444 --> 01:03:43,653
- [Zach] Hi, Willow.

1346
01:03:43,654 --> 01:03:45,321
What is this?

1347
01:03:45,322 --> 01:03:46,697
- I baked cookies.

1348
01:03:46,698 --> 01:03:49,283
- You baked Christmas cookies?

1349
01:03:49,284 --> 01:03:51,077
- [Willow] Mm-hm.

1350
01:03:51,078 --> 01:03:53,663
- What happened
to the whole bah humbug?

1351
01:03:53,664 --> 01:03:54,789
- They're cookies, Zach.

1352
01:03:54,790 --> 01:03:56,582
You don't need an excuse
to make cookies

1353
01:03:56,583 --> 01:03:58,501
other than you just want
to eat cookies.

1354
01:03:58,502 --> 01:04:00,086
- Mm. Okay.

1355
01:04:00,087 --> 01:04:02,380
[crunching]

1356
01:04:02,381 --> 01:04:03,673
They're great.

1357
01:04:03,674 --> 01:04:04,758
Thank you.

1358
01:04:07,052 --> 01:04:08,469
I wasn't able to get
your permits approved

1359
01:04:08,470 --> 01:04:09,720
to shoot downtown.

1360
01:04:09,721 --> 01:04:11,973
- What? What do you mean?
You're the mayor.

1361
01:04:11,974 --> 01:04:13,933
What happened
to your superpowers?

1362
01:04:13,934 --> 01:04:16,395
- Has to be approved by
a majority of the town council.

1363
01:04:17,729 --> 01:04:20,940
- And let me guess.
Ruth is on the council?

1364
01:04:20,941 --> 01:04:22,109
- Yeah.

1365
01:04:23,277 --> 01:04:24,694
- [Willow] Ah!

1366
01:04:24,695 --> 01:04:27,780
I'm gonna need these back.

1367
01:04:27,781 --> 01:04:29,073
Do you know
where I could find Ruth?

1368
01:04:29,074 --> 01:04:31,200
- Um...

1369
01:04:31,201 --> 01:04:35,413
Yeah, right now, she would be
at the coffeehouse.

1370
01:04:35,414 --> 01:04:36,998
- Great.

1371
01:04:36,999 --> 01:04:38,708
- Okay. Well,
thank you for the cookie.

1372
01:04:38,709 --> 01:04:40,711
Wait. Are we still on
for the movie tonight?

1373
01:04:41,878 --> 01:04:46,675
[tense music]

1374
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:49,678
[car door slams]

1375
01:04:56,602 --> 01:04:57,853
[paper rustles]

1376
01:05:05,444 --> 01:05:07,904
[door hinges creak]

1377
01:05:11,325 --> 01:05:13,576
- These are for you.

1378
01:05:13,577 --> 01:05:14,869
May I sit down?

1379
01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:16,621
- Can I get you
some coffee or tea?

1380
01:05:16,622 --> 01:05:18,624
- She won't be staying.

1381
01:05:20,125 --> 01:05:22,835
- What's it gonna take for you
to say yes to this movie?

1382
01:05:22,836 --> 01:05:24,795
- I thought I made it
perfectly clear.

1383
01:05:24,796 --> 01:05:27,423
We don't want Mistletoe
to be a spectacle

1384
01:05:27,424 --> 01:05:28,966
for ne'er-do-wells.

1385
01:05:28,967 --> 01:05:31,052
- Maybe we should
just listen to her.

1386
01:05:31,053 --> 01:05:33,012
- Zach thinks it's a good idea,

1387
01:05:33,013 --> 01:05:35,890
and he wouldn't do anything
to hurt the town of Mistletoe.

1388
01:05:35,891 --> 01:05:37,851
- I'm going to change your mind.

1389
01:05:40,270 --> 01:05:41,813
Enjoy the cookies.

1390
01:05:43,607 --> 01:05:46,859
[tense music]

1391
01:05:46,860 --> 01:05:48,820
[door hinges creak, door thuds]

1392
01:06:00,415 --> 01:06:01,248
[Willow sighs]

1393
01:06:01,249 --> 01:06:06,171
[phone ringing]

1394
01:06:08,548 --> 01:06:10,049
[Willow sighs]

1395
01:06:10,050 --> 01:06:11,092
Hello?

1396
01:06:11,093 --> 01:06:13,469
- Do you have
the signed agreement?

1397
01:06:13,470 --> 01:06:14,679
- I'm working on it.

1398
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,014
- What's taking so long?

1399
01:06:17,015 --> 01:06:18,349
If you don't have it
by tomorrow,

1400
01:06:18,350 --> 01:06:19,475
you need to move on.

1401
01:06:19,476 --> 01:06:20,894
- I will.

1402
01:06:21,770 --> 01:06:22,437
[phone clicks]

1403
01:06:31,822 --> 01:06:34,408
- I just don't feel comfortable
with this.

1404
01:06:41,373 --> 01:06:44,291
[crunches]

1405
01:06:44,292 --> 01:06:46,378
- Mm. Good cookie.

1406
01:06:49,214 --> 01:06:51,800
[crunches]

1407
01:06:53,385 --> 01:06:58,181
[gentle music]

1408
01:07:20,412 --> 01:07:22,288
- What?

1409
01:07:22,289 --> 01:07:25,541
- Myrtle and Grace
changed their votes to yes.

1410
01:07:25,542 --> 01:07:27,001
- [crunches] Really?

1411
01:07:27,002 --> 01:07:29,420
- We're making your
Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

1412
01:07:29,421 --> 01:07:31,882
- Oh. So awesome.

1413
01:07:33,675 --> 01:07:35,635
- [woman] It's quite lovely,
don't you think?

1414
01:07:38,513 --> 01:07:40,681
- [Zach] Okay, so this is
a very special movie we watch

1415
01:07:40,682 --> 01:07:43,476
every year here in Mistletoe.

1416
01:07:43,477 --> 01:07:45,103
- Looks familiar.

1417
01:07:46,271 --> 01:07:47,355
- [woman]
There's something missing.

1418
01:07:51,777 --> 01:07:52,902
Mistletoe.

1419
01:07:52,903 --> 01:07:54,612
- [Willow] Mm.

1420
01:07:54,613 --> 01:07:56,822
See how she paused there?

1421
01:07:56,823 --> 01:07:59,658
The director knows
the power of silence.

1422
01:07:59,659 --> 01:08:02,578
Some of the best scenes happen
in between words.

1423
01:08:02,579 --> 01:08:03,996
- [man] ...yet you dally
with the tree.

1424
01:08:03,997 --> 01:08:06,248
- [whispers]
I'm trying to watch the movie.

1425
01:08:06,249 --> 01:08:09,043
- [woman] ...the measure
of perfection, Lord Witherton.

1426
01:08:09,044 --> 01:08:11,253
Everything must be perfect
for our first Christmas ball

1427
01:08:11,254 --> 01:08:12,839
as husband and wife.

1428
01:08:14,591 --> 01:08:16,801
Just imagine the candles aglow.

1429
01:08:16,802 --> 01:08:20,137
Music fills the air as couples
entwined in an embrace

1430
01:08:20,138 --> 01:08:22,264
- dance the waltz.
- What?

1431
01:08:22,265 --> 01:08:23,641
- [woman] That is the
measure of perfection,

1432
01:08:23,642 --> 01:08:25,226
- Lord Witherton.
- I'm just really glad

1433
01:08:25,227 --> 01:08:27,895
my algorithm chose Mistletoe.

1434
01:08:27,896 --> 01:08:29,313
- [woman] Lord Witherton,

1435
01:08:29,314 --> 01:08:30,899
- you flatter me.
- Me too.

1436
01:08:34,736 --> 01:08:39,491
[classical music on screen]

1437
01:08:52,295 --> 01:08:53,379
[music ends]

1438
01:08:53,380 --> 01:08:54,547
[footsteps]

1439
01:08:54,548 --> 01:08:55,715
- Oh.

1440
01:09:00,136 --> 01:09:03,597
Wait. That was Ruth?

1441
01:09:03,598 --> 01:09:04,849
- Yeah.

1442
01:09:04,850 --> 01:09:06,560
Yeah, that was her one movie.

1443
01:09:13,733 --> 01:09:15,818
- I love old black
and white movies.

1444
01:09:15,819 --> 01:09:17,528
[serene piano chords]

1445
01:09:17,529 --> 01:09:18,530
- Come with me.

1446
01:09:24,286 --> 01:09:26,245
[music intensifies]

1447
01:09:26,246 --> 01:09:27,122
- Oh.

1448
01:09:37,549 --> 01:09:38,465
[music ends]

1449
01:09:38,466 --> 01:09:41,135
[Willow humming]

1450
01:09:41,136 --> 01:09:46,141
[magical music]

1451
01:10:11,833 --> 01:10:15,587
[magical music continues]

1452
01:10:44,574 --> 01:10:45,699
[music ends]

1453
01:10:45,700 --> 01:10:47,576
That's a pretty doll.

1454
01:10:47,577 --> 01:10:48,702
- [Adeline] She's a Fresh doll.

1455
01:10:48,703 --> 01:10:50,704
She looks just like me.

1456
01:10:50,705 --> 01:10:52,998
- Do you like Christmas movies?

1457
01:10:52,999 --> 01:10:54,833
Oh. Well,
I'm scouting locations

1458
01:10:54,834 --> 01:10:56,210
for a Christmas movie right now,

1459
01:10:56,211 --> 01:10:58,545
and we need lots of extras,

1460
01:10:58,546 --> 01:11:03,384
and I think that you
and this doll

1461
01:11:03,385 --> 01:11:06,512
would be absolutely perfect
for the movie.

1462
01:11:06,513 --> 01:11:08,138
Do you think you
could take her home

1463
01:11:08,139 --> 01:11:09,890
and watch her
until I start filming?

1464
01:11:09,891 --> 01:11:10,891
- Yeah.

1465
01:11:10,892 --> 01:11:12,017
- Okay.

1466
01:11:12,018 --> 01:11:14,478
Aw. Okay, thanks.

1467
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:15,729
- You're welcome.

1468
01:11:15,730 --> 01:11:17,399
[Willow giggles]

1469
01:11:18,817 --> 01:11:21,068
- That was very kind of you.

1470
01:11:21,069 --> 01:11:23,570
- Oh. Man, I should have
brought my camera.

1471
01:11:23,571 --> 01:11:26,824
I should be taking pictures
for set design.

1472
01:11:26,825 --> 01:11:28,451
- Why don't you
take a night off?

1473
01:11:30,078 --> 01:11:31,370
- Okay.

1474
01:11:31,371 --> 01:11:32,831
- Yeah.

1475
01:11:38,670 --> 01:11:43,466
[lighthearted music]

1476
01:11:48,888 --> 01:11:50,681
What are you doing?

1477
01:11:50,682 --> 01:11:52,267
- Taking the night off.

1478
01:11:54,102 --> 01:11:55,437
- [Zach] Thank you.

1479
01:12:10,577 --> 01:12:13,662
- Hi, Mr. Mayor.
[giggles]

1480
01:12:13,663 --> 01:12:16,582
Have you asked anyone
to the Mistletoe Ball yet?

1481
01:12:16,583 --> 01:12:22,047
I was hoping that we could
go together like last year.

1482
01:12:23,381 --> 01:12:25,841
- Willow, this is Jennifer.

1483
01:12:25,842 --> 01:12:28,719
- Hi.
- Oh.

1484
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,846
Are you two together?

1485
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:34,224
- Oh, um... I don't know.

1486
01:12:34,225 --> 01:12:36,269
Are we together, Mr. Mayor?

1487
01:12:37,854 --> 01:12:39,396
- I've already asked someone.

1488
01:12:39,397 --> 01:12:41,524
- Oh. I understand.

1489
01:12:46,529 --> 01:12:48,113
- So who did you ask

1490
01:12:48,114 --> 01:12:51,242
to the Mistletoe Ball,
Mr. Mayor?

1491
01:12:56,748 --> 01:13:00,876
- You've got a little...
a little something there.

1492
01:13:00,877 --> 01:13:02,086
- Is it gone?
- No.

1493
01:13:02,087 --> 01:13:03,879
There's... there's a bit more.

1494
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:06,800
- Oh.
- Yeah. Yeah.

1495
01:13:07,801 --> 01:13:09,219
- She is cute.

1496
01:13:10,970 --> 01:13:15,725
[music continues]

1497
01:13:34,828 --> 01:13:35,829
[music stops]

1498
01:13:38,206 --> 01:13:39,624
- Oh.

1499
01:13:41,751 --> 01:13:44,044
I better go see
what Ruth wants.

1500
01:13:44,045 --> 01:13:45,630
I'll be right back.

1501
01:13:49,217 --> 01:13:50,802
[Willow sighs]

1502
01:13:53,221 --> 01:13:58,017
[gentle music]

1503
01:14:04,357 --> 01:14:05,274
[music stops]

1504
01:14:05,275 --> 01:14:08,944
- Hello.
- Oh! Hi.

1505
01:14:08,945 --> 01:14:10,237
Do I know you?

1506
01:14:10,238 --> 01:14:11,780
- I'm Kevin.

1507
01:14:11,781 --> 01:14:13,824
- Hi, I'm Willow.

1508
01:14:13,825 --> 01:14:15,076
- Yes, I know.

1509
01:14:16,661 --> 01:14:20,581
- It's nice to meet you, Kevin.
- Nice to meet you too.

1510
01:14:20,582 --> 01:14:22,958
How are you enjoying Winterfest?

1511
01:14:22,959 --> 01:14:24,376
- Uh, it's lovely.

1512
01:14:24,377 --> 01:14:27,546
- Yes, isn't it?
Very nice, huh?

1513
01:14:27,547 --> 01:14:28,922
- Can I help you
with something?

1514
01:14:28,923 --> 01:14:30,799
[awkward chuckle]

1515
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,050
- I'm Kevin.

1516
01:14:32,051 --> 01:14:34,219
- Yep, we've established that.

1517
01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:37,014
- Kevin Parker.

1518
01:14:37,015 --> 01:14:39,600
- Okay. Clears that up.

1519
01:14:39,601 --> 01:14:42,978
- All right. I am the director
of the Winterfest here.

1520
01:14:42,979 --> 01:14:44,813
- Oh. [soft chuckle]

1521
01:14:44,814 --> 01:14:48,400
- And Zach told me you want
to shoot your movie here.

1522
01:14:48,401 --> 01:14:50,235
- Oh, I'm so sorry.

1523
01:14:50,236 --> 01:14:52,237
Zach didn't tell me
that he spoke with you.

1524
01:14:52,238 --> 01:14:54,198
Yes. I mean,
it would be perfect.

1525
01:14:54,199 --> 01:14:56,617
My executive producer, Miranda,

1526
01:14:56,618 --> 01:14:58,827
she would definitely want
to shoot something here.

1527
01:14:58,828 --> 01:15:00,204
- [Kevin] Mm.
- Maybe a montage.

1528
01:15:00,205 --> 01:15:02,372
Christmas movies love montages.

1529
01:15:02,373 --> 01:15:05,000
It's a way
to make hours of backstory

1530
01:15:05,001 --> 01:15:07,794
and condense it into
a little two-minute music video.

1531
01:15:07,795 --> 01:15:09,171
- Yeah, that's good to know,

1532
01:15:09,172 --> 01:15:12,507
and I'm very glad Winterfest
is working fine for you.

1533
01:15:12,508 --> 01:15:14,009
You're enjoying it.

1534
01:15:14,010 --> 01:15:18,972
A montage sounds exciting,
but it's not going to happen.

1535
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:20,432
- Oh.

1536
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:23,852
- Enjoy your stay here,
and Merry Christmas.

1537
01:15:23,853 --> 01:15:24,854
- Merry Christmas.

1538
01:15:27,982 --> 01:15:29,775
- [Santa] Ho-ho-ho.

1539
01:15:29,776 --> 01:15:31,277
Willow Bends.

1540
01:15:33,780 --> 01:15:38,784
[magical music]

1541
01:15:38,785 --> 01:15:43,331
[gentle piano chords]

1542
01:15:50,255 --> 01:15:52,381
- How did you know my name?

1543
01:15:52,382 --> 01:15:54,968
- [Santa] I'm a big fan
of Christmas movies.

1544
01:15:56,177 --> 01:15:57,678
- Well, I have to say,

1545
01:15:57,679 --> 01:16:00,931
you are the best-looking Santa
I think I've ever seen,

1546
01:16:00,932 --> 01:16:03,475
and I've seen a lot of them.

1547
01:16:03,476 --> 01:16:06,395
- Tell me what you want
for Christmas.

1548
01:16:06,396 --> 01:16:08,021
- Well, all I wanted
for Christmas

1549
01:16:08,022 --> 01:16:10,440
was to make a Christmas movie
in Mistletoe.

1550
01:16:10,441 --> 01:16:13,277
So my wish came true.

1551
01:16:13,278 --> 01:16:14,946
- Is that what you really wanted?

1552
01:16:21,577 --> 01:16:24,663
- Well, actually,

1553
01:16:24,664 --> 01:16:27,708
I didn't want to make
a Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

1554
01:16:27,709 --> 01:16:31,587
I wanted to make my
Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

1555
01:16:33,965 --> 01:16:36,717
But I know that'll never happen.

1556
01:16:36,718 --> 01:16:40,887
So, Santa, if you are real--
no offense--

1557
01:16:40,888 --> 01:16:45,976
that would be my Christmas wish.
To make my Christmas movie.

1558
01:16:45,977 --> 01:16:47,644
- [Santa] Faith is believing
in things

1559
01:16:47,645 --> 01:16:49,896
when common sense
tells you not to.

1560
01:16:49,897 --> 01:16:51,231
[phone ringing]

1561
01:16:51,232 --> 01:16:52,775
- [Santa]
I'll see what I can do.

1562
01:16:56,029 --> 01:16:58,196
- [Miranda] Do we have
permission or not?

1563
01:16:58,197 --> 01:16:59,364
- Yes.

1564
01:16:59,365 --> 01:17:02,743
- Good. I'll be there tomorrow.

1565
01:17:02,744 --> 01:17:04,995
And horses are back
in the script.

1566
01:17:04,996 --> 01:17:05,996
[phone clicks]

1567
01:17:05,997 --> 01:17:07,123
- Thank you.

1568
01:17:07,915 --> 01:17:09,000
[sighs]

1569
01:17:12,086 --> 01:17:13,880
Oh. Santa?

1570
01:17:17,592 --> 01:17:18,843
- Who you talking to?

1571
01:17:19,886 --> 01:17:21,220
- Oh, um...

1572
01:17:23,848 --> 01:17:25,932
Miranda.

1573
01:17:25,933 --> 01:17:28,935
- What happened
to taking the night off?

1574
01:17:28,936 --> 01:17:30,396
- Well, um...

1575
01:17:32,482 --> 01:17:34,941
Well, I mean,
what was that with Ruth?

1576
01:17:34,942 --> 01:17:36,194
- [Zach] Touché.

1577
01:17:39,030 --> 01:17:44,035
[lively music]

1578
01:17:46,829 --> 01:17:47,829
Do you ride?

1579
01:17:47,830 --> 01:17:49,624
- [chuckles]

1580
01:17:51,793 --> 01:17:52,959
- [Zach] Take that as a yes.

1581
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,045
- [Willow] Yeah.

1582
01:17:55,254 --> 01:17:56,213
[Zach groans]

1583
01:17:56,214 --> 01:17:57,631
- Yeah. I'm glad to see you

1584
01:17:57,632 --> 01:17:58,757
starting to get
into the holiday s--

1585
01:17:58,758 --> 01:18:00,926
- Oh! Please don't say spirit.

1586
01:18:00,927 --> 01:18:03,595
It's in every single
Christmas movie I've ever done.

1587
01:18:03,596 --> 01:18:06,390
- Okay. How about cheer or...
- Stop.

1588
01:18:06,391 --> 01:18:10,602
- Glee. Joy. Happiness?

1589
01:18:10,603 --> 01:18:12,145
- No. I mean,
don't get me wrong.

1590
01:18:12,146 --> 01:18:14,981
It's not that I don't
love holiday traditions.

1591
01:18:14,982 --> 01:18:17,109
I mean, especially
Christmas movies.

1592
01:18:17,110 --> 01:18:19,945
- I do.
- What is it?

1593
01:18:19,946 --> 01:18:21,863
- Well, it's just not realistic.

1594
01:18:21,864 --> 01:18:23,740
I mean, people don't just bump
into each other

1595
01:18:23,741 --> 01:18:25,617
and fall in love at first sight

1596
01:18:25,618 --> 01:18:30,038
with a backdrop of mistletoe
and carolers.

1597
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:34,292
- Willow, we are on a carousel
with Christmas music playing

1598
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:36,837
in a town called Mistletoe.

1599
01:18:36,838 --> 01:18:39,381
- We did have
a pretty good meet-cute.

1600
01:18:39,382 --> 01:18:40,799
- Huh?

1601
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,843
- When we bumped into each other
at City Hall.

1602
01:18:42,844 --> 01:18:44,678
If we were in
a Christmas movie,

1603
01:18:44,679 --> 01:18:47,973
we would be in the third act
just waiting to kiss,

1604
01:18:47,974 --> 01:18:50,892
but unfortunately,
something would stop us,

1605
01:18:50,893 --> 01:18:53,937
because in the script,
it's just too soon to kiss.

1606
01:18:53,938 --> 01:18:55,021
- Mm.

1607
01:18:55,022 --> 01:18:57,190
Okay, so for,
like, argument's sake,

1608
01:18:57,191 --> 01:18:59,985
let's say that we were
in a Christmas movie.

1609
01:18:59,986 --> 01:19:01,987
How soon until we kiss?

1610
01:19:01,988 --> 01:19:07,909
- Mm... until we fall deeply,
hopelessly in love.

1611
01:19:07,910 --> 01:19:11,872
- Do you think two people could
fall in love in 90 minutes?

1612
01:19:11,873 --> 01:19:16,376
- Well, for me personally, no,

1613
01:19:16,377 --> 01:19:18,003
but in a Christmas movie?

1614
01:19:18,004 --> 01:19:19,589
Absolutely.

1615
01:19:24,969 --> 01:19:27,846
- So. You think I'm pretty?
- What?

1616
01:19:27,847 --> 01:19:30,015
- You think I'm pretty?

1617
01:19:30,016 --> 01:19:31,892
- I didn't--I didn't say that.

1618
01:19:31,893 --> 01:19:33,059
Where'd you hear that?

1619
01:19:33,060 --> 01:19:34,561
- Oh, so you don't think
I'm pretty?

1620
01:19:34,562 --> 01:19:36,730
- No. I... Yes. I mean--

1621
01:19:36,731 --> 01:19:39,692
- Oh, so you do think
I'm pretty.

1622
01:19:39,817 --> 01:19:42,110
- Yes. I think you
are the prettiest

1623
01:19:42,111 --> 01:19:45,113
Christmas movie location scout
I've ever seen.

1624
01:19:45,114 --> 01:19:47,866
- Oh. Well, then you must
have seen a lot of us.

1625
01:19:47,867 --> 01:19:50,161
- Dozens. Maybe hundreds.

1626
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,291
[gentle music]

1627
01:19:56,292 --> 01:19:58,211
Will you go with me
to the Mistletoe Ball?

1628
01:20:03,382 --> 01:20:04,508
[carousel shutting down]

1629
01:20:04,509 --> 01:20:05,927
- [Willow] Oh.

1630
01:20:09,388 --> 01:20:12,642
[both laugh]

1631
01:20:21,817 --> 01:20:23,360
- Bradley and I watched
A Princely Christmas ,

1632
01:20:23,361 --> 01:20:25,278
and we prepared a scene.

1633
01:20:25,279 --> 01:20:29,491
- I--I talked to my producer,
and we have a part for you.

1634
01:20:29,492 --> 01:20:30,951
Oh, it's a small part.

1635
01:20:30,952 --> 01:20:33,119
It's only a couple of lines.

1636
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,996
[Willow laughs]

1637
01:20:34,997 --> 01:20:37,832
Look, I'll read it with you
after the Mistletoe Ball.

1638
01:20:37,833 --> 01:20:39,584
Oh, and Bradley,
there's a part for you too.

1639
01:20:39,585 --> 01:20:41,712
- Oh. You said Bradley.

1640
01:20:52,974 --> 01:20:54,808
- What are you working on?

1641
01:20:54,809 --> 01:20:57,644
- I'm making mistletoe corsages
for the ball.

1642
01:20:57,645 --> 01:21:00,021
- You know, Grace and Myrtle
changed their vote.

1643
01:21:00,022 --> 01:21:02,274
- I heard.

1644
01:21:02,275 --> 01:21:06,778
- And, um, Zach asked me
to go to the ball with him.

1645
01:21:06,779 --> 01:21:08,154
- He did, did he?

1646
01:21:08,155 --> 01:21:10,365
[Willow chuckles]

1647
01:21:10,366 --> 01:21:13,785
- I just, I don't have
anything to wear.

1648
01:21:13,786 --> 01:21:16,288
- I can find something.

1649
01:21:16,289 --> 01:21:19,416
[door opens]

1650
01:21:19,417 --> 01:21:21,585
[door closes]

1651
01:21:21,586 --> 01:21:23,796
I should leave you two to talk.

1652
01:21:29,302 --> 01:21:33,889
[soft, tense music]

1653
01:21:38,978 --> 01:21:41,814
- I'm sorry that things
had to be this way.

1654
01:21:42,857 --> 01:21:46,610
I don't know why you hate me.

1655
01:21:46,611 --> 01:21:49,029
- This wasn't about you.

1656
01:21:49,030 --> 01:21:51,615
- Kind of feels
like it was, Ruth.

1657
01:21:51,616 --> 01:21:53,826
- I know what Hollywood's about.

1658
01:21:54,910 --> 01:21:55,285
They take what they want,

1659
01:21:55,286 --> 01:21:56,828
and then they just
toss you aside

1660
01:21:56,829 --> 01:21:58,956
when you're no longer useful.

1661
01:22:00,333 --> 01:22:03,418
I couldn't let that happen
to Mistletoe.

1662
01:22:03,419 --> 01:22:06,046
I love this town.

1663
01:22:06,047 --> 01:22:09,884
- But I love this town too,
and I won't let that happen.

1664
01:22:12,970 --> 01:22:16,307
Here. I... I want you
to have this.

1665
01:22:19,226 --> 01:22:20,644
- What is it?

1666
01:22:20,645 --> 01:22:23,813
- [Willow] It's a script
I've been working on.

1667
01:22:23,814 --> 01:22:25,940
A little town opens its heart

1668
01:22:25,941 --> 01:22:29,778
to some disillusioned
movie scout.

1669
01:22:29,779 --> 01:22:31,529
She thinks
she's saving the town,

1670
01:22:31,530 --> 01:22:36,785
but really it's the town
that saves her.

1671
01:22:36,786 --> 01:22:38,537
- Well, I have something for you.

1672
01:22:42,375 --> 01:22:44,959
This is an injunction
blocking Red Herring

1673
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,796
from filming in Mistletoe.

1674
01:22:48,506 --> 01:22:50,632
I have powerful friends.

1675
01:22:50,633 --> 01:22:52,343
I don't like to lose.

1676
01:22:56,472 --> 01:23:02,311
[cane thudding]

1677
01:23:07,024 --> 01:23:08,858
- Leaving now.

1678
01:23:08,859 --> 01:23:11,111
- [Willow] Don't bother coming.

1679
01:23:11,112 --> 01:23:12,279
- Why not?

1680
01:23:13,364 --> 01:23:15,323
- We just got served
an injunction

1681
01:23:15,324 --> 01:23:17,242
prohibiting us from filming
in Mistletoe.

1682
01:23:17,243 --> 01:23:19,494
- How did you let that happen?!

1683
01:23:19,495 --> 01:23:21,329
- I didn't let it happen.

1684
01:23:21,330 --> 01:23:23,373
It just happened.

1685
01:23:23,374 --> 01:23:24,874
- [Miranda] I had a feeling
you've been trying

1686
01:23:24,875 --> 01:23:27,419
to sabotage my film
from the beginning.

1687
01:23:27,420 --> 01:23:29,337
- Why would you say that?

1688
01:23:29,338 --> 01:23:31,715
- Cynical snarkiness
and apathy for the art

1689
01:23:31,716 --> 01:23:33,967
that I'm creating
is evident.

1690
01:23:33,968 --> 01:23:35,802
I don't even think you tried.

1691
01:23:35,803 --> 01:23:38,972
- This is the first film
in literally years

1692
01:23:38,973 --> 01:23:42,308
that I've actually put
my heart into.

1693
01:23:42,309 --> 01:23:43,768
I love this town.

1694
01:23:43,769 --> 01:23:45,520
I would do anything
to shoot here.

1695
01:23:45,521 --> 01:23:46,312
- [Miranda]
I don't believe you.

1696
01:23:46,313 --> 01:23:47,772
You're off the project.

1697
01:23:47,773 --> 01:23:51,192
In fact, you'll never work
on a Red Herring Film again.

1698
01:23:51,193 --> 01:23:52,819
You're fired!

1699
01:23:52,820 --> 01:23:53,863
[phone clicks]

1700
01:23:54,530 --> 01:23:55,698
[Willow scoffs]

1701
01:23:58,409 --> 01:23:59,534
[Willow sighs]

1702
01:23:59,535 --> 01:24:01,911
[Willow sniffles]

1703
01:24:01,912 --> 01:24:04,956
[phone ringing]

1704
01:24:04,957 --> 01:24:06,958
- Quiet. It's your Aunt Willow.

1705
01:24:06,959 --> 01:24:08,585
- Hi, Aunt Willow.

1706
01:24:08,586 --> 01:24:11,755
We really, really miss you.

1707
01:24:11,756 --> 01:24:13,965
- Hey. How's it going?

1708
01:24:13,966 --> 01:24:16,760
- Miranda fired me.

1709
01:24:16,761 --> 01:24:18,928
- What? What happened?

1710
01:24:18,929 --> 01:24:21,097
- Doesn't matter.

1711
01:24:21,098 --> 01:24:22,557
I'm coming home tomorrow.

1712
01:24:22,558 --> 01:24:24,018
- But what about Zach?

1713
01:24:25,811 --> 01:24:27,937
You're falling in love
with him,

1714
01:24:27,938 --> 01:24:31,734
and you're afraid
he's gonna leave you.

1715
01:24:31,859 --> 01:24:34,778
Zach is not Dad, Willow.

1716
01:24:34,779 --> 01:24:37,405
You deserve happiness.

1717
01:24:37,406 --> 01:24:39,449
Run to it.

1718
01:24:39,450 --> 01:24:41,910
Let it happen to you.

1719
01:24:41,911 --> 01:24:45,205
You deserve your
happy ending too.

1720
01:24:45,206 --> 01:24:48,167
- Happy endings
don't just happen.

1721
01:24:49,794 --> 01:24:51,587
It's up to us to write them.

1722
01:24:54,089 --> 01:24:56,549
I just don't know how.

1723
01:24:56,550 --> 01:24:59,302
[melancholic music]

1724
01:24:59,303 --> 01:25:00,387
[phone clicks]

1725
01:25:04,642 --> 01:25:07,352
[Willow sighs deeply]

1726
01:25:07,353 --> 01:25:11,190
[scratching]

1727
01:25:20,449 --> 01:25:21,783
[Willow] Oh, hi.

1728
01:25:21,784 --> 01:25:24,703
Come here. Oh.

1729
01:25:27,790 --> 01:25:32,294
[melancholic music continues]

1730
01:25:46,100 --> 01:25:48,476
- Willow! Where are you going?

1731
01:25:48,477 --> 01:25:51,646
- I'm--I'm leaving.

1732
01:25:51,647 --> 01:25:55,608
- I'm sorry about Ruth,
but you don't have to leave.

1733
01:25:55,609 --> 01:25:58,529
- Just tell Zach I'm sorry.

1734
01:26:05,786 --> 01:26:09,247
- I wore this gown
for the first Mistletoe Ball.

1735
01:26:09,248 --> 01:26:11,375
It was my first date
with my husband, Bill.

1736
01:26:13,002 --> 01:26:14,127
As we danced together
that night,

1737
01:26:14,128 --> 01:26:17,005
I knew we'd be together forever.

1738
01:26:17,006 --> 01:26:18,339
We still will.

1739
01:26:18,340 --> 01:26:21,093
He just started
a little sooner than me.

1740
01:26:33,939 --> 01:26:38,569
[cheerful holiday music]

1741
01:26:42,197 --> 01:26:44,575
[indistinct chatter]

1742
01:27:22,029 --> 01:27:24,198
[muted chatter]

1743
01:27:25,574 --> 01:27:26,784
[muted chatter]

1744
01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,006
- Good evening, everyone.

1745
01:27:42,007 --> 01:27:44,133
My name is Kevin.

1746
01:27:44,134 --> 01:27:45,885
- Kevin Parker.
- [clapping]

1747
01:27:45,886 --> 01:27:48,388
Thank you. Thank you.

1748
01:27:48,389 --> 01:27:49,640
Thank you.

1749
01:27:52,059 --> 01:27:54,979
And welcome

1752
01:28:03,821 --> 01:28:07,907
Ruth and her MF'rs have outdone
themselves this year.

1753

Zach, I can't do this.

I'm so sorry.
I just can't.

It has to.

1778
01:31:12,217 --> 01:31:14,635
- It doesn't have to end, Willow.

1779
01:31:14,636 --> 01:31:18,055
- We both know what this is.

1780
01:31:18,056 --> 01:31:19,933
- What do you think this is?

1781
01:31:23,312 --> 01:31:25,605
- This is me falling in love

1782
01:31:25,606 --> 01:31:29,109
and then having my heart broken
when I have to leave.

1783
01:31:29,234 --> 01:31:31,277

1784

Isn't it wonderful?

1798
01:34:01,261 --> 01:34:02,762

and yet you dally
with the tree.

1800
01:34:06,391 --> 01:34:08,018
- [Ruth] I read your script.

1801
01:34:11,063 --> 01:34:16,651
I don't say this often,
but I was wrong... about you.

1802
01:34:20,655 --> 01:34:22,616
You know the magic
of Christmas.

why I only made one movie?

Everything must be perfect

1805
01:34:31,458 --> 01:34:33,960
for our first Christmas ball
as husband and wife.

1806
01:34:39,007 --> 01:34:41,635
I fell in love
with my leading man.

1807
01:34:42,886 --> 01:34:44,638
He asked me to marry him,

1808
01:34:47,057 --> 01:34:49,600
but I was too afraid
to give him my heart

1809
01:34:49,601 --> 01:34:53,562
because I couldn't stand it
if he broke it.

1810
01:34:53,563 --> 01:34:55,523
- [young Ruth]
Just imagine the candles aglow.

1811
01:34:55,524 --> 01:34:56,982
Music fills the air

1812
01:34:56,983 --> 01:35:00,445
as couples entwined
in an embrace dance the waltz.

1813
01:35:01,988 --> 01:35:03,615
- [Ruth]
I ran home to Mistletoe.

1814
01:35:10,163 --> 01:35:11,831
Not a day goes by
