[SING STEPH, "FAVORITE DISTRACTION"]
How you got me losing focus
I can't stay away
All that good loving make me want to lay you
You're my favorite distraction, ha
You're my favorite distraction, oh, ha
You're my favorite distraction
Oh, you got me losing focus
I can't stay away
All that good you love me make me want to lay you
You're my favorite destruction
[phone beeping]
You're my favorite destruction, ha
[yawning]
You're my favorite destruction ha
[phone beeping]
[gentle melody]
(SINGING) This is part of it, my world
This Christmas
Hanging there as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town,
They do
Oh, yeah
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer
And you
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's going to be with you?
This Christmas, the fireside is blazing bright
But we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be a very special Christmas with me
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Sing a song, sing a song about
Good morning, Jules.
Nick.
Now, how is it that you're always late
and the offices inside the house?
Did somebody wake up on the other side of the bed
with Mr. Scrooge?
Please, that old geezer wishes he was in my bed.
Now, I sense your plan is in motion
despite my desperate pleas for you not to go through with it.
Well, they don't call me the love doctor for nothing.
And they don't call it a woman's
intuition for nothing, either.
Just take the L gracefully.
So who we got up first?
Debbie.
The lady with the gland problem?
No, you thinking about Sweaty Debbie.
This is Teddy Debbie.
The lady who refuses to not sleep with the teddy
from when she was a baby?
Yep.
I can handle her.
Sweaty Debbie though, that lady needs to see a real doctor.
My office is like a kiddie by the time we're done.
And you know you ain't funny.
I'll make sure to get you some floaties the next time she's in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell Mr. Scrooge I said hi.
So Chloe, tell me about your love life or lack thereof.
And don't worry.
I hear more horror stories than Hallmark movies in this chair.
[laughing]
OK, here's the deal.
The holidays can be a great time for love,
but for some, they can be a minefield
of awkward family dinners and romantic mishaps,
which is where I come in.
I'm going to be your personal Santa's little Cupid
here to help guide you through the emotional blizzard
and land you with the right person.
Nobody deserves to be alone during the most
festive time of the season.
We all deserve that special someone to share it with.
Don't you think?
I think so.
So tell me, Chloe, are you ready to write your own love
story this holiday season?
I think so.
Quiet as a little church mouse, aren't you?
[laughter]
Oh, excellent.
Let's get started.
BARBARA: Tell me now--
child, are they going to have to amputate?
No, but these are some serious foot corns, Aunt Barbara.
We're going to have to get you to a podiatrist
and have them shave them down.
They can use a damn power sander
on these bad boys for all I care,
as long as it doesn't require surgery.
EMMA: Nope, no surgery, but maybe
stay off your feet for a bit.
Oh, I can't do that.
It's all some night at the cantina.
And you know you're aunt love some chili
peppers, if you get my drift.
Oh, and speaking of, how's your love life?
Love life?
I've already told you.
I'm not dating right now.
BARBARA: Nonsense.
Are beautiful, intelligent woman.
You deserve a handsome prince jumping out of a present
wrapped only in a bow.
[laughter]
EMMA: Yeah, but I need to focus on myself
and work, and everything else.
Emma, that's the problem, honey.
You work too darn much.
You need a man to sweep you off your feet
and whisk you away to a romantic cabin in the woods.
Bang, bang.
Bang, bang?
You know what I mean.
No.
[laughs] No I don't think about it.
Sounds good-- not realistic.
Love you.
Thank you.
Not if you go see the love doctor.
The love doctor?
Yeah, a friend suggested it.
Apparently, he's a very dedicated
relationship consultant.
I might go see him myself.
You know, I'll think about it.
Fantastic.
Now, let's get you some hot cocoa with some peppermint
snaps.
Yeah, going to work.
BARBARA: So?
So I will see you later.
No, you should be saying that to your husband when you leave home
and not me.
Think about it.
I was trying to help you out.
Help me out by locking my door before you go.
Love you.
Oh, you don't love me.
But I love me.
And I'm going to salsa.
[laughs] [vocalizing]
[latin music]
(SINGING) Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer over you
Yes.
Here is Christmas
Hanging there as walk around
How much fun it's gonna be together this Christmas?
Fireside is blazing bright
Carolyn through the night
Whoa!
Come on, you can--
And this Christmas will be special
For me
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer with you this Christmas
And as I look around, your eyes outshine the town
They do
And this Christmas and fireside is blazing
We're caroling through the night
[atiya artis, "alone"]
I've been all alone
I've been dealing with my problems
I've been healing from my trauma
So tell me why am I unsatisfied
I don't want a date a guy if it don't feel right
Don't want to waste my time
I don't want to do life all by myself
I admit I need a little help
Cause I've been all alone
[phone ringing]
[phone vibrating]
Sidney.
Hello.
Is anyone there?
Hi.
I was calling for the love doctor.
And who exactly is this?
Oh.
I'm sorry.
This is Emma.
I didn't think you would even answer this late.
I suppose my sister forgot to reroute
my calls to our voicemail.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to inconvenience you.
I can call back, actually, tomorrow.
I'll just-- I'll just do that.
NICK (ON PHONE): No, no, it's fine, really.
I never turn someone away looking for love.
How can I help you, Emma?
I guess-- I guess I want to make an appointment.
How about tomorrow?
Tomorrow-- that's kind of soon.
NICK (ON PHONE): No time like the present
in the season of giving.
OK.
Do you have anything at, like, 11?
I can make time.
I'll see you tomorrow.
OK.
Thank you, love doctor.
Well, Nick.
Have a good night, Emma.
And don't worry.
We'll find you, love.
EMMA (ON PHONE): Good night.
A I love doctor.
It comes to that.
(SINGING) I've been all alone
No one left to hold
I've been all alone
No one left to hold
I've been all alone
No one left to hold
[door creaks]
Hey there.
Are you looking for the love doctor?
Hi.
Is it that obvious? - Oh, what?
No. This is his office.
He works from his house.
So everybody gets confused when they come for the first time.
- OK. - OK.
Come on. Girl, it's cold out here.
Let's get you checked in.
So Emma, you're the reason I got in trouble with the boss
this morning for not routing his calls correctly?
Oh, I'm sorry about that. I should go.
Oh, girl, relax.
I'm just kidding.
Have a seat.
So do you know Nick?
It's not that often first time clients are
on a first name basis with him.
What do you mean?
Out there, you said you had an appointment with Nick.
So I'm assuming you guys had a prior relationship.
Oh, no, someone gave me his card.
Relax, girl.
I'm kidding again.
He'll be out in a second.
OK.
[laughs] Is this him?
JULES: Yeah, that's Nick.
Oh, I didn't think he'd be that--
you know. - That what?
NICK: You're going to be the belle of the retirement
home, Ms. Sawyer.
Just be yourself.
And those men are going to be tripping all over their walkers
to get your number.
Let me get this for you.
Thank you.
Absolutely.
And have a merry Christmas.
Thank you.
See you soon.
JULES: Nick, Emma's here.
Emma, Emma, Emma.
Hi.
NICK: Yes.
Emma.
Yes, of course.
Right.
Right this way-- up the stairs and to the left.
OK.
[gentle melody]
So Emma, can I offer you anything,
coffee, box of fruitcake?
A box of fruitcake is wild.
NICK: Try to pawn it off on everybody hoping somebody
takes the bait.
I've actually never met anybody who likes that stuff.
Yet it's one of the most common gifts you
can give during the holidays.
Yeah.
It was very nice that you're helping that older lady.
NICK: Ms. Sawyer?
She doesn't need my help.
She's going to have all those men
filling out Viagra prescriptions on her own.
[laughter]
So tell me about yourself.
I'm a nurse.
That says plenty.
Any hobbies?
No.
I just work a whole lot.
What about when you're not at work?
Maybe you're having a glass of wine
or a cheesy romcom on Netflix.
I'm more of a whiskey on the rocks, cheesy
horror film kind of girl.
Really?
Really.
Aha.
Probably why I'm single.
No.
Listen, that's amazing. You own what you like.
And you're not afraid to say it.
Plus, any woman who's down to drink some Macallan on the rocks
is good in my book.
So what kind of traits do you like in men?
The usual.
Which is?
Has a job, doesn't cheat.
Uh-huh.
Well, can we narrow that down?
No.
[laughs] No, I mean, most people think that that's out there.
But men these days-- they don't have those two qualities.
There are.
We just got to find them for you.
I mean, I've been looking my whole life and nothing.
And is that why you're here?
You've given up on Love and I'm your last resort?
No.
I've given up on love a long time ago.
I'm here because my aunt gave me your number.
And it's Christmas time.
And I need a date so that I don't
have to partake in the usual Christmas dating conversation.
NICK: Ah!
The dreaded why are you still single conversation.
EMMA: Hmm.
Then I take it, you won't be opposed to speed dating.
Christmas is right around the corner.
Speed dating?
I feel like if I'm going to do this, I should do it right--
take my time.
But I mean, I don't know, because then again, I
was going to hire a gigolo just to be with me
Christmas dinner because all I really need is a warm body.
[laughs]
[wacky music]
It was a joke.
It didn't land?
[laughter]
Oh.
OK.
So here's what I think we should do.
I'm going to set you up on a date with three different men.
Wait.
What's this?
Three different men?
Listen, it's going to sound cliche as hell.
But it does take two to tango.
You're going to get the effort back that you put in.
So if you're not willing to put any in,
you can't expect someone else to do otherwise.
OK, I put in effort.
NICK: I'm sure you do.
But you see, it's my job to set you up with a date with a man
that I think that you're compatible with.
If you're not going to let me do that, then why are you here?
OK.
Three dates.
[lively music]
I guess I'm just really into, like, indoor gardening.
Love it.
Love it all of it-- all the gardening, all the greens.
Hmm.
Oh.
I'm excited to try this place.
Hi.
Spicy stir fry-- extra spice.
Well, I came-- I came prepared-- little gas pills.
[laughs] So you be on dates?
So I told my interns three times, back up.
Our stock leads on the server in a different location.
You know something crazy, Dalton?
Sure.
My grandfather's name was Dalton.
Oh, wow, that's wonderful.
It was wonderful until we found out
that he was a serial killer.
What?
Convicted 31 years.
Just asparagus?
You-- you just love it.
Asparagus is fantastic.
Did you know it's a flowering plant?
I did not know.
It's from the lily family.
Yay!
Woo!
It's hot.
My eyes are-- my eyes are watering.
Ooh.
We actually named the dog Dalton, before we knew.
Dalton didn't have vocal chords.
So he would just always bark like, [barking].
Oh, I-- I'm not really into asparagus much.
I don't like the way that it smells going in and out.
But-- - You don't listen to that.
It's a myth.
OK?
It's not true.
I know.
I've tested it.
[coughing] Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I'll be back, real quick.
So I mean, your name, are you married to it?
I kind of am.
It's my name.
Because my ex--
his name was Dalton--
hate him.
Oh, I'm cursed.
I just feel like if we were to be together,
you'd have to change your name.
And you would have to be used to the idea
that I need to be alone a lot of the time.
Like, we could be together, but we'd have to be apart.
- a whole bucket of asparagus one time and nothing happened.
Nothing.
Wow, that's-- was that a ring?
Are you married?
I don't know what they put in this.
Baby, y'all got cakes?
Yes.
Like a plum cake?
Check, please.
Well, the cake first, then the check all on his.
Check.
Check, please.
WAITER: Check.
[barking]
Waiter, check, please.
But-- [barks] [laughs]
So what do you think went wrong?
I don't think it went wrong.
It didn't go right.
But I think just sometimes I get a little nervous.
And when I get a little nervous, I start joking and start lying.
Dalton-- he was nice though.
I don't even know any he Dalton though.
That's besides that Dalton.
So I don't even know where that came from.
So you think you're pushing these men out on purpose?
Don't try to make this like a therapy thing.
It's just dating.
Well, relationship consultants are low key therapists as well.
EMMA: Yeah.
You know what?
This is-- I'm sorry.
I'm wasting your time.
This is your job.
I-- this isn't for me.
So I'm actually going to go.
Thank you for--
Uh-uh.
No, no, no, no, no, Emma.
Please sit down.
I don't give up that easily.
And I don't expect my clients to either.
Let's just start afresh.
It's obvious I failed you.
And I got to do a better job of learning you
and what your desires are.
OK.
So how about we go to dinner tonight, if you're free,
that is?
Like, me and you go to dinner?
Yeah.
Sometimes it's best to get outside the office,
so I can get to know you in a more relaxed environment.
[romantic music]
I'm paying.
And so like a date?
Date-- A mock date.
A mock date.
Meet me back here around seven?
OK.
I'll be here at seven.
Good.
I'll see you at seven.
Sounds like this one is going to give
you a run for your money.
Women are like porcelain-- beautiful inside and out,
but delicate.
Handle them the wrong way and they'll break.
Is that right?
[door creaks]
So men aren't delicate and can't break, too?
I mean, we can.
So I can compare men to something like a spare tire.
There when you need them.
And as soon as you hit a few bumps in the road,
they pop and leave you, too.
OK.
So comparing the porcelain statue to that of a spare tire--
it's just not the same thing.
I said what I said.
[door opens]
Listen, I know things with you and Sidney ended kind of rough.
But you might want to focus more on yourself than tough eggs
to crack like this one.
And I mean that as a client and a love interest.
Love interest?
Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do.
But I can completely handle my client relationships on my own,
OK?
[mumbling]
[sweeping music]
EMMA: Hey.
Hi.
[thump]
Hi, hi, hi.
You look so-- you look so--
He's trying to say you look great.
Thank you.
JULES: Well, although this conversation is riveting,
I'm going to go ahead and go home and let you
guys get to your date--
I mean, mock date.
You kids have fun.
So should we?
Yes, yes, we should.
How was your drive over?
Oh, it was fine.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I guess I just get nervous living
up to my parents' expectations.
You know, they've been together something like 17 years.
And they make it seem so easy.
So you're searching for the perfect man.
And if he has a trait that you might not like,
you sabotage him.
I mean, why not?
Like, I'm not doing this thing for fun.
I'm not in my 20s anymore.
If I'm going to do it, it's got to be right right off the bat.
Right of the gate-- that is a lot
of pressure to put on yourself and the man that you choose.
No.
What else am I doing that for?
For the fun of it?
And have you seen divorce rates?
No, dating these days is like--
like a free trial of HBO Max.
You know, once Game of Thrones is over, what you do?
Cancel.
Cancel immediately.
[laughter]
I don't want that.
I want commitment-- you know, no subscriptions,
no password sharing, just me, the other person, locked in.
And you deserve that.
So what is funny?
It-- it's not, but you are.
It's nice to just actually see you.
Oh, what do you see?
(SINGING) think I like the things you do
I do
You find humor in the unexpected.
And you have the courage to laugh at yourself.
[laughs] Because you have no idea.
Last month I was on a Tinder date.
- Aha. - Tinder.
- That's-- - Tinder.
- I got it. - OK.
I met a guy that was great until he told me that he
communicates with squirrels.
[laughs] Oh, please tell me you asked him to demonstrate.
Oh, I didn't have to.
We pulled up to my apartment, right?
There's a little squirrel outside.
I'm like, oh, my God.
Squirrel outside-- he looks at it.
It looks at me.
He goes, oh, Emma, his name's Chester.
He's nuts about you.
Yo, please, please stop.
What?
Stop, for real.
What's sad about it, though, is like,
I try to convince myself, like, yo,
this guy cares about something.
I should give him a chance.
Do you see that?
Right there, that's why you--
you have this incredible ability to see the good
in everything, even the absurd.
Or I've lowered my standards.
[laughter]
But I mean, I guess--
I guess I've always tried to see the silver lining in things.
And that is why you deserve to find
someone who appreciates your sense of humor, your kindness.
Someone who-- who can share a laugh with you
with all of life's ridiculous moments.
[laughs]
What about you?
Me?
While I-- I mean, I do appreciate
all of that about you, Emma. And--
Oh, my God, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I was saying, like, you were dating.
Are you with someone?
Oh.
Yeah.
Woo.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
- Oh. - Right.
Yeah.
That's nonexistent as of now.
What?
Yes.
You mean the-- the love doctor.
He doesn't have a woman to call his own?
Well, the love doctor did.
Things have changed.
I'm sorry.
I-- I didn't realize.
I was just kind of joking and--
No, it's fine.
It's really fresh, that's all.
No big deal.
So maybe you should see a counselor.
Yeah, right.
I'm far too busy for that.
And my clients-- you--
you Emma, are my priority.
It's a really beautiful trait, Nick.
I love that you put others first.
And even though we met in a really weird way, I'm--
I'm just happy that we did.
[sing steph, "superhero"]
Me, too.
Cheers to love.
(SINGING) No Cape on, Superman got nothing on me
Faster than a locomotive
Got me running fast to see
She my baby
She means the world to me
She my little kryptonite
Take the breath right out of me
Oh, trust me I can show you much more
I won't hurt you like they did you before
Anything you want you know I got it
Anything you need you know I got it
I got you back, don't ever doubt it for sure
Let me be your superhero
I want to be, I gotta be your superhero
I want to be, I gotta be the one who will come to your rescue
Only one you give your love to
Your superhero
I want to be, I gotta be your superhero
Your superhero
Trust me, I can show you much more
I won't hurt you like I did you before
Anything you want you know I got it
Anything you need you know I got it
I got your back, don't ever doubt it for sure
Let me be your superhero
You know what?
Let me run to the restroom very quickly.
Go ahead.
Take your time.
[whimsical music]
You two make a great couple.
Thanks, man.
Wait.
She's a client of mine.
We're not together.
Could have fooled me.
Who you looking for?
Nothing.
[chuckles] OK.
Cheers.
Uh-uh, see?
Uh-uh I-- I knew it.
I knew it.
Look, I'm not going to pursue the girl or anything.
She's a client.
Yeah, a client you have feelings for.
It's not ethical.
Plus, I told her I'd help her find love.
Well, it looks like you already did.
You think she's into me?
Well, what does it matter?
You're not going to pursue it anyway, are you?
Jules.
Nick.
Ooh.
Uh-uh.
Does she like me?
Hey, you have, like, a lot of foam.
Foam like?
On-- in your everything.
Wait.
Oh. - Yeah.
Maybe--
That's-- that's embarrassing.
Oh, this is great.
So I have a meeting in half an hour
that apparently I was going to have a coffee mustache for.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Yeah, the coffee demons are out to get me today.
But--
Yeah, maybe invest in, like, a travel mug with the lid.
Travel mug.
That'll help you.
Or a sippy cup.
You know, I'd say my day is off to a horrible start,
but seems to have brightened up a bit.
Are you-- are you OK?
I'm sorry.
What is your name?
Oh, I'm Emma.
And it seems like you're handling your day fairly well.
Oh.
Well, disaster management is my middle name--
Ben is my first.
Well, hi Ben.
Oh, hey.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Hey.
No, I'm at the coffee shop.
Oh, you got me.
OK.
Well, I'm on my way.
You already got me coffee. - Look at that.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, Emma.
Complete shot in the dark here, and I probably already
know the answer to this.
But would you be open to having dinner later?
I mean, I at least owe you for the napkins.
Oh.
Right.
I should be on my way.
No.
Sure.
Really?
Really.
[chuckling]
That's great.
Can I put your number on my phone?
- Yeah. - All right.
That's great.
Great.
Listen, I know a spot around the corner
that makes a serious cocktail.
Oh, you're going to love it.
Oh, sounds good, but I'm actually a whiskey girl.
- Whiskey? - Whiskey.
OK, see, I don't think this is going to work.
I don't do whiskey.
I'm just kidding.
I know a whiskey bar we can move it to.
It'll be great.
OK.
Yeah.
OK.
Sounds good.
Hey, Ben, why'd you think I'd say no?
I-- I haven't had much luck finding women
who have the complete package.
But I guess my luck has changed.
Well, that is, outside of the coffee, of course.
[laughs] Well, yeah, I'll see you tonight, Ben.
See you tonight, Emma.
NICK: So how you been?
I haven't seen you in a while.
I was beginning to think you were done mock dating me.
[laughter]
I know it's-- it's been a minute.
Mhm.
I actually came by to tell you that I met someone.
Oh, that's great.
Who is he?
His name is Ben.
He's a senior executive at a financial firm.
Older guy?
No, same age.
He just put his career path ahead
of everything else like me, and climbed that corporate ladder.
And now you two meet.
Sounds like perfect timing.
Yeah, we go to the same coffee shop.
Convenient.
That's great.
I suppose that means that you and I
won't be seeing more of each other,
and fingers crossed, of course.
Yeah you know, came by because I wanted
to talk about this situation.
OK.
I just--
I'm in my head.
I do this thing where I just can't let things be great.
You know, I have this perfect guy who--
he has a career, he's attentive, he's communicative.
Sounds like the perfect match.
Yeah, but I don't--
I don't feel that spark.
You know, that-- that spark that you feel
when you're with your person.
I know the feeling.
Yeah, it's like the spark that I feel when I'm--
it's the spark.
It will come.
I should actually go.
Emma.
[sweeping music]
I wish you and Ben the very best of luck.
Merry Christmas.
Yeah.
Merry-- merry Christmas.
[door closes]
OK, now spill it.
This is silent night, deadly night two.
And I usually have to tape your mouth shut
from laughing so damn hard.
It's Emma.
I just can't get her off my mind.
I knew it.
You can't get a thing past me.
Go on gloat all you want.
Well, it's no fun when you're a sad puppy dog.
What should I do?
Should I say something to her?
Are you asking me what I think you should do,
or what she wants you to do?
Both.
Well, speaking for you, I don't want to see you
make the same mistake twice.
You keep all your feelings bottled up.
And you let these situations get out of hand.
Like what?
Come on now.
Sidney ran your life.
She ran all over you like a runway at Paris Fashion Week.
And when she was done with you, she hung you out to dry.
You know what?
I just didn't ask for a Sidney bash session, OK?
JULES: No, I'm not.
I'm just telling you what you did and you're still doing.
Now, if you have feelings for Emma,
you need to just let her know.
Is that what you think she wants me to do?
Well, according to you, she and this Ben guy
are hitting it off.
I think a few weeks ago, she wanted you to say something.
But now, it may be a little complicated.
OK.
So now I'm getting two different answers.
Trust yourself.
Life is full of regrets.
If you truly believe in something,
you have to at least try.
[gentle melody]
OK.
Yeah.
I know I'm right again.
And come on and enjoy this horrible movie with me.
Hey, you know this--
[chainsaw noises]
[screaming]
MAN (ON RECORDING): Now repeat after me.
I am strong.
[knocking]
I am confident.
MAN (ON RECORDING): I will set goals.
NICK: I will set goals and achieve them.
I am irresistible.
[laughs] This stuff is so cringe.
Hey.
Emma, hey.
I was just doing some research for a client of mine.
They're big fans of the self-help stuff.
Oh.
OK.
Anyways, thanks for coming.
You know, I was surprised when you called.
Yeah.
Well, there were a few things I wanted to share with you.
- Yeah. - Things you deserve to know.
Emma, you know I--
[phone rings]
Do you need to get that?
No, no, no, no, it's-- it's--
that's fine.
Emma, I really enjoy these mock dates we went on.
And I've been thinking a lot about it.
And you know, you and I just really have to--
[phone rings]
Do you want to just get it?
It could be important.
It would just be a minute.
Do you mind waiting in the reception office?
Oh, no problem.
Sid, is everything OK?
[ominous music]
I-- I miss you, too.
Hey, you OK?
Yeah.
Is Sidney Nick's ex?
Yeah.
Why?
Will you-- something came up.
Will you just tell him I had to go?
OK.
OK, sure.
[door closes]
Where's Emma?
Something came up and she had to leave,
but not before asking me who Sidney was.
Come on.
I told you.
I told you, Nick.
I told you.
You gotta learn to listen to me.
So listen, I'm still at the office.
And I'm talking to Fred like, hey,
man, what are you doing, right?
And so-- you don't like the flowers, do you?
I'm telling you.
I said I should get violet.
I knew I should have.
No, no, no, no, I love the flowers.
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I just--
Hey, no, no, no, we're not apologizing.
[chuckles] Listen, I know that you
have some things going on that you probably
don't want to talk to me about.
But I want you to know that you can.
And I'm here.
No, I'm--
I'm fine.
OK.
Well, if you're good, I'm good.
All right?
Because it's about trust, you know, and I
have a lot of that for you.
It's of the things I like about you.
Honestly, there's quite a few things I like about you.
Emma, I've never met another woman like you.
And I was hoping that you could do me this early Christmas gift.
And let's make this official.
Oh, make it official?
Yeah.
Well--
You know what?
I'm sorry.
You know what?
I'm being pushy.
I didn't mean that.
It's OK, actually.
It's fine.
I live by casual rules Friday.
So we don't even have to--
No, no, no.
Yeah.
Let's do it. Let's make it official.
No, no, listen because I don't want you being pressured.
No.
No, Ben.
I'm serious.
Let's-- let's make it official.
Let's make it official.
[laughter]
OK.
All right.
Do you want to call your mom first, or should I call mine?
You could call yours.
OK.
I can't wait.
Oh, I can't wait.
Baby, thank you so much for allowing
me to do this over here.
Your father is like a toddler when it comes
to sneaking peeks at presents.
[laughs] Hey, remember that one year
the shelf fell on him because he was trying
to sneak a look at presents?
And then he had the nerve to blame me-- talking about,
hey, why you always putting those presents
so high up on the shelf?
He had knots everywhere. boom, boom,
boom-- looked like he was swallowing golf balls.
Please tell me you have more.
Oh, yeah, right over there in the cabinet over there.
OK.
SANDRA: The love doctor?
Emma, you do not need the services of any love doctor.
I'm not using the services of the love doctor.
- Oh, no? - No.
Oh, good.
I met this little guy at church.
He sings with me in the choir.
He would be the perfect match for you.
Not interested.
OK, well, there's also this young guy that I
met at the grocery store.
You know he traveled all the way out into the car
to bring me my purse that I left at the checkout stand?
Now, wait.
You're getting numbers from me now?
Yes, because you're not doing anything.
And you are not getting any younger.
Oh, gee, thanks.
Listen, honey, I don't want you
to be like your aunt Barbara--
old without a man.
OK.
I have a man.
You do?
Yes, I have a boyfriend.
So when are you going to bring him out.
Am I going to meet him tonight?
No, he's on a work trip.
But he gets back Christmas eve.
And we'll be at Christmas dinner.
[excited] Oh, thank God.
Thank God for Christmas miracles.
My daughter's not going to be a spinster.
[mellow music]
OK, let's--
Oh, look at the service.
Merry Christmas eve, Jules.
Merry indeed.
Listen, wash your hands, get to cutting.
Oh, see, I know you planning to put me to work.
What you thought?
Well, I do appreciate you working with me today.
OK.
Now, should I be expecting a surprise guest?
What do you mean?
You're cooking a feast.
I always do.
Besides, who else would be coming?
I don't know.
Maybe Sidney might come.
No.
I told you that's done, done.
Yeah, until she call you to come down Santa's chimney.
[laughter]
Well, listen, even though she called last time,
I told her that there's no reason
for her to call again because I don't see us working out.
It took you two years too long, but I'm proud.
Well, sometimes it's comforting
just finding someone who wants to be with you,
even if it's toxic.
It's not like I have anybody else to call family.
I know you did not just say that to my face.
Nobody else besides you, Jules.
Mhm.
I'm going to let you slide.
But you're on thin ice.
OK, look, let me see if I can fix that.
Hmm.
Hold on.
Is that better?
Keep pouring.
We almost cool again.
[laughter]
Always?
Always.
Cheers.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Jules.
Come on, Ben.
[phone rings]
Hey, you at the airport?
Ah, yeah.
What's wrong?
Well, my flight's canceled, and so are the flights
at every other nearby airport.
Apparently, there's a bad storm.
No.
What about flights in the morning?
Well, I'm trying, but so is everyone else.
They said the morning flights are even in doubt.
Not even Rudolf could light his way through this storm.
My parents are never going to believe this.
I'm sorry, Emma.
If I could control the weather, I'd be there.
Oh, no, I wasn't saying it like that.
I just-- I was really excited to be able to introduce you
to everyone.
Well, I'll meet them soon.
I'm not going anywhere.
Right.
Remember?
And I'm sorry that this is happening.
Spending Christmas in the airport is no fun.
It's OK.
I'll keep you posted if anything happens.
Yeah?
Yes, please do.
Have a good night.
You too.
So once again, no date.
Well, Nick-- could call Nick.
No, well, you can't call Nick.
Let me show you.
Oh, no, she going to-- she going to get him
tomorrow at the thing.
At the adult singing daycare?
At the singing--
[laughter]
I love Ms. Sawyer.
[laughs]
OK.
I think I owe Emma an apology.
I let my emotions get in the way of helping the client.
And I want her to know, just as long as she's happy,
then so am I.
OK.
Well, that's a nice thought.
Maybe keep it that way until after the holidays, though.
Why?
You're the one who told me, if I feel strongly about something,
to speak my mind.
Oh, God, I have created a monster.
Look, it'll be quick.
I'll say my piece and then I'm happy closing this chapter out
just like I did with Sidney.
OK, wait a minute.
Wait, I'm not--
OK.
Now I'm ready.
I'm doing it.
Do it.
[phone rings]
[chuckling]
Hey, you.
NICK (ON PHONE): Hey, Emma.
Are you busy?
No.
I mean, you know how it is.
It is Christmas eve.
And things are pretty busy.
But you called at a pretty calm window.
So I have some time.
I won't take up too much of your time.
I just wanted to call and apologize for everything.
Everything?
Well, not everything.
Just the things I said on our dates.
Our mock dates.
Right.
Mock dates.
Emma, honestly, I meant every word.
And I just want you to know that I think you're an amazing woman.
And I truly--
I just want you to be happy.
I'm long shot here, but do you-- do you have
plans for Christmas tomorrow?
No.
I don't.
Would you want to come to dinner with my parents and I?
What she say?
Yes.
Yeah.
I would love to come to your parents' house
tomorrow for dinner.
Oh.
OK.
Great.
I'll-- I'll text you the address.
Yes.
Yes, send it on over.
Send it-- send it over.
Talk to you later.
Bye, bye.
Bye.
[gentle melody]
[laughter]
You got it together.
Keep it calm. Keep it calm.
It's just a-- - [mumbling]
It's just a little coaching.
[laughter]
- Cheers. - Cheers.
To love.
Yes.
And the holidays.
Oh.
Not you going to the parents' house for dinner?
Well, they don't call me the love doctor--
Not for nothing, baby.
- for nothing.
[laughter]
(SINGING) Love is like a satellite, oh
St. Nick, St. Nick, and all the holiday gifts.
I'm ready, baby.
We've seen most of these.
[door bell]
No, Mom.
Oh, girl, come on.
Let's not keep him waiting.
[door creaks]
Merry Christmas.
EMMA: Hey, Merry Christmas.
Come in.
Hi.
Nick, this is my mom, Sandra.
Mom, this is my friend--
Hi, Nick.
What a pleasure?
Oh, my goodness, it's so great to meet you.
I cannot tell you how long we've been waiting for this moment.
Isn't that right, Emma?
Yep.
So you thirsty?
You want something to drink?
Let me take this.
Come on in, baby.
[laughter]
After you.
Wow.
Good to see you.
Bae, come down.
Emma's boyfriend's here.
Boyfriend?
Can you just go with it?
OK.
All right.
George.
Nick.
Thank you for inviting me to your beautiful home.
Well, I didn't invite you, Emma did.
OK.
[chuckles] I'm just kidding.
You know, Sandra couldn't sleep all night
waiting for your arrival.
You better not disappoint. - All right.
Right.
Let's sit down
Oh, yeah.
Emma, come on.
Sit-- sit on the love seat with Nick.
It's only fitting.
[laughter]
Wow.
That's no love sit.
That's a couch.
George.
So tell us everything.
Well, there's not really much to tell.
Well, how'd you two meet, then?
You can tell them.
No, you can.
No, no, no, sweetheart.
No.
You got it, Nick. You got it.
Well, let somebody say something.
We want to know.
Well, we met when I was in a really dark space.
I mean, you guys know I don't really talk
about my feelings a whole lot.
But things were really lonely.
And so I took a chance.
And whenever I met Nick, I realized that maybe I won't
have to be lonely anymore.
OK, all that's cute, but it still
doesn't tell us how you met.
Well--
A dating service.
A dating service?
Oh.
Yeah.
I thought you said you didn't use that love doctor.
Well--
Love doctor?
Is that some kind of sex cult or something?
A sex cult?
Dad.
What?
It's nothing like that, George.
It's legit.
Besides, they did something right.
And they matched us.
They did.
It's the best decision I ever made in my life.
Well, I'm glad because those love doctors are scammers--
taking advantage of poor, brokenhearted people.
Sinful.
you know, there's a special place
in hell for people like that.
Surely, not all relationship consultants are like that,
right?
Right.
I mean, ours really had our best interests at heart.
I mean, I actually felt like he genuinely cared about me
and really wanted me to find love,
whether he found it or it found me.
Well, I am for one over the moon for you two.
Emma, you want to help me in the kitchen?
Oh, mom, you know I don't really cook.
Emma, you want to help me in the kitchen?
- Oh, yeah. - OK, come on.
Thank you.
All right.
[wacky music]
So dating service, ha?
Man gotta be kind of desperate to use that, don't they?
Not necessarily, George.
Personally, I find that most people
don't allow themselves time to find love, but still want it.
Some things take precedence, like careers and whatnot.
Ah.
You sitting over there sounding like you're
an expert in the field.
[laughs] Let's just say I really believe in it.
Ha.
So tell me what your priorities are.
Work.
Definitely work.
And what do you do?
Coding.
As in computer coding?
APIs, firewalls, you name it--
I can't get enough of it, George.
Oh, well, I dabbled a little bit myself.
You don't-- you don't say.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, I got tired of the stigma that old people don't
know how to use computers.
So I started taking classes.
Right.
Now, APIs are really interesting, right?
Are you into restful or soap APIs?
Hmm, well, that really depends on the--
the context because flexibility, George, is key.
Exactly.
Now, firewalls-- are you into stateful or stateless firewalls?
Firewalls.
Wow.
OK, so listen, firewalls are all about security.
Right?
Aha.
Keeping the bad guys out--
that's the name of the game.
Well, security is paramount.
But there are different protocols at play, right?
So now, are you familiar with Gitkraken for version control?
Incredible.
I just-- wow.
Of course.
They teach you really a lot of stuff in these classes, George.
I'm impressed.
Gitkraken.
Get cracking--
Yeah.
Right.
Is-- sounds unique.
But version control-- that's on my to do list.
OK, well, if you ever need anybody
to bounce some ideas off of, you,
just give me a call, all right?
You will be first on my list, George.
[laughter]
So are we thinking this is the one?
The one?
Ma, it's still early.
Oh, girl, nonsense.
I knew your father was the one the minute I saw him.
Yeah, well, we're taking things slow.
OK.
Well, I see the way that he looks at you.
And I can tell that he is head over heels.
You-- you really think so?
Oh, yes, girl.
Well, maybe not today or tomorrow,
but I think he's going to tell you that he's in love with you.
And that he was from the minute he saw you.
I mean, I hope so.
OK.
[laughter]
I really hope so.
Oh, he is.
Look, he's taking a grilling from your father.
[laughter]
BARBARA: Christmas joy has entered the lobby.
Mommy.
Uh-oh.
You better get in there, baby.
He's about to get hit with a storm, the likes
of which he has never seen.
GEORGE: How you doing, Barbara?
Oh, existing.
Existing in a world that doesn't appreciate my brilliance.
Oh.
That, and I think I popped my hip out while twerking.
Twerking?
Mhm.
I have to practice my moves for the senior dance.
I aim to make five men have heart attacks that night.
Just five?
Just five.
Been treating him.
Uh-oh.
Who is this tall glass of chocolate milk?
[whimsical music]
Hey, Aunt Barbara.
Mhm.
This is my boyfriend, Nick.
Oh.
Nicholas.
Charmed.
I'm a few other things as well, but I
can't say in a family setting.
Oh.
Well, nice to meet you, Aunt Barb.
Oh, just Barbara or Barbie.
That's what all my lovers call me.
You-- you ain't have a lover since 1989.
Nobody asked you, George.
You know, you look familiar.
Have we met somewhere before?
I hope not.
No.
Maybe I just have one of those faces.
Oh, da, da, da.
I remember--
Hey
- this face.
So the appetizers are ready.
you, are you hungry?
Yeah, yeah.
[chuckles] Nice meeting you.
Mhm.
You just have no shred of dignity, do you?
You don't need dignity with that.
Go get your hot butt over there.
That's what I'm saying. Let's go.
[sean b, "cherish"] Come together
Celebration is the reason for the season
Gotta cherish every moment cause the next one isn't promised
No, it's not about material things
But it's about the joy that love can bring
Yeah
So if I had one wish this Christmas, then that wish
would be
To spend it with you and cherish the moment by showing
love at Christmas time
Turn the page in family matters
It's the same book, yeah, different chapter
Where we cannot control all the laughter
up until the morning after
No, it's not about material things
But it's about the peace forgiveness brings
So if I had one wish this Christmas, then that wish
would be
To spend it with you and cherish the moments by showing
love at Christmas time
Can I cut in?
Not now, Barbs.
Sit down.
I'm really happy you made it.
Me too.
This is the best Christmas I could ever have.
Really?
Definitely.
There's no present Santa can bring me to compare to this.
Besides, I've never had Christmas to share with anybody.
I grew up without parents.
I came up in a foster home.
It's OK.
I made it out all right.
And I wouldn't change this life for anything because it
led me to this moment.
[door bell]
[door creaks]
Hey.
Can I help you?
EMMA: Ben.
[laughter]
Hey, what's up?
What are you-- what are you doing here?
Are you serious?
I wasn't going to miss our first Christmas.
So I wanted to surprise you because I moved heaven and Earth
to get here on time, which is just pretty
much an eight hour drive to the nearest
airport you could fly me in.
Ahem, Emma, who this man?
Oh, this is Ben, my boyfriend.
You what?
My-- he's my boyfriend.
I told you.
That's my girl.
[laughs] Hey, I'm sorry I'm late.
I-- I had some travel issues.
But I'm sure Emma told you all about it.
Can somebody tell me what the hell is going on here?
Yes, it's fine.
Yes.
Ben, we're just about to sit down for dessert.
Please make yourself at home.
And Emma and I will be right back,
OK.
[wacky music]
So how is everybody's Christmas going?
Very entertaining.
Come on, honey.
Let me pour you a drink.
You're going to need it.
All right.
OK.
She got the one--
then she got--
My God, Emma, what is going on?
Spill it.
I tried to tell you and dad.
But you never listen.
Oh, no.
Are you to blame this on us?
Well, it's your fault. Every year it's
the same thing with you two.
Emma, when are you going to get a boyfriend?
Emma, who are you going to bring home for the holidays?
Emma, where are you going to settle down?
Emma got tired of always trying to please you.
So I did this because I couldn't stand
to disappoint you this year.
Listen, honey, we just wanted you to be happy.
This isn't about us.
This is about you.
Mom, it's the same.
And it gets worse every time of year.
It's always, who are you going to bring home?
You try to hook me up with every man you meet.
I couldn't do that this year.
And so I knew I didn't have time for dating.
So I signed up for Nick's dating site.
Nick is the love doctor?
Yes.
Look, all I wanted was someone to bring home for Christmas.
I didn't care if it was going to last.
I just needed someone long enough
to get through this whole thing, so we didn't
have to have the conversation.
Listen, honey, I am so sorry.
We never meant to put this kind of pressure on you.
So you asked Nick to come here and be your pretend boyfriend?
Well, in a way, yeah.
He was more of like, a backup plan.
But he-- he didn't know about it.
So Ben is your actual boyfriend?
Yes, but I didn't know if he was going to make
it because of the storm.
He said he couldn't.
And I was afraid that if he didn't show up,
you would think I was lying.
Poor Nick.
Poor Nick?
Poor me.
Oh, girl, please.
Things between us will be fine.
But it is obvious that boy is in love with you.
No, he's not.
Yes he is.
And it's obvious to me that you're in love with him, too.
I'm not in love with him.
And even if I was, Nick has way too much baggage.
He's still in love with his ex.
And I have Ben.
Ben is the full package.
You guys will see that once you get to spend some time with him.
[melancholy music]
I had such a great time tonight.
But I think it's time I head out.
Thank you for the invite.
And thank you and your husband for the hospitality.
I'm so sorry, baby.
Why don't you let me walk you out?
No, no, no, it's-- it's fine.
You've-- you've got hosting duties.
Merry Christmas, Emma.
Merry Christmas, Nick.
Good night.
Merry Christmas, Nick.
Merry Christmas to you too, George.
[gentle melody]
[phone vibrating]
JULES (ON PHONE): Damn.
You look like you was up all night
fighting a family of street dogs over half a box of donuts.
I'm sure I do.
Well, I'm assuming you weren't up all night having fun.
What happened?
Ben happened.
He showed up.
Well, why the hell would she invite him
if you was going to be there.
Because he wasn't supposed to.
I was her standing boyfriend for the night.
Oh, no.
Here I am thinking I'm getting another shot--
she's using me.
JULES (ON PHONE): That's awkward.
I didn't let it get that far.
I left before it could.
Here I am, up all night, sick to my stomach, and for what?
Why am the one that feels like this?
Now, listen, I'm no expert.
But I think you're feeling symptoms of being lovesick.
Now, lucky for you, I know a love doctor
that can mend that achy heart.
Jules, I'm not in the mood.
JULES (ON PHONE): Why don't you just tell her how you feel?
In a roundabout way.
Try to spill my heart too, but never really got a chance.
JULES (ON PHONE): Listen, I don't like to step
in on anyone's relationship.
But you know just as well as I do
that if you don't say how you feel,
it is going to devour you on the inside.
It's too late for that.
[phone vibrating]
JULES (ON PHONE): What is it?
She's calling me now.
Answer it and speak your mind, OK?
I can't stand to see you like this.
I'll call you back.
Hello.
EMMA (ON PHONE): Hey, Nick.
How are you?
Peachy.
I just wanted to apologize for putting you in that situation.
It was unfair.
And I really should have been up front about it.
I had no idea Ben was going to show up.
NICK (ON PHONE): It's no big deal.
I was happy to help a client out during the jam.
Oh, OK.
NICK (ON PHONE): Listen, I'm not feeling well.
I didn't get much sleep last night for some reason.
OK, well, I could bring some leftovers over.
You know, you left my mom's vegetable soup.
No that's-- it's OK.
I've got soup here.
OK.
[gentle melody]
I'm glad you won't be needing my services anymore, Emma.
Best of luck.
No, wait.
You really-- she really told you to log in to OnlyFans?
She told me to manage her OnlyFans.
Oh, my God.
Aunt Barbara-- nobody's trying to steal that.
No, I'm telling you, It was a mess everywhere.
It was.
[laughter]
Give me just a second. I'll be right back.
OK.
New boyfriend?
What happened to the other guy?
What?
Oh, Nick?
That's not my boyfriend.
That's my boyfriend.
He said the same thing, but I could have sworn differently.
OK, let's-- let's not mention that.
Mind you're own business, jeez.
[sigh]
Hmm.
No look?
Oh.
I don't feel like it, Jules.
I just came down to get some coffee
and let you know I'm not going to be in for the day.
Well, how long?
You have appointments.
Just push them back.
Till when?
Till I feel like it.
What?
I see you just be testing my gangsta up in here.
I gotta do everything.
[laughter]
Oh, OK. He's coming.
Come on, up, up, up.
Come on.
All right.
Well, you're already full, ha?
Let me tap mine up.
Oh, yeah.
[melancholy music]
Oh, here we go.
OK.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, happy New Year!
[laughs] Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Happy New Year.
Hmm.
You know what?
I need to call my mom.
Be right back, baby.
EMMA: Mom and Dad.
Hey, we're in here.
Hey, baby.
Oh, what a surprise?
Why didn't you tell me you were stopping by?
I would have made you lunch.
I'm not hungry.
Hey, are you OK?
Not really.
Well, who's butt I got a kick that made my baby girl unhappy?
Probably mine.
It's all my fault.
Oh, no, does this have anything to do with Ben?
Mommy, you were right about everything.
I messed up.
I don't know if I could fix it.
Oh, listen, honey, everything is fixable.
No not everything.
George.
No, he's right.
The man that I love doesn't love me.
And the man who loves me is perfect.
But I don't think about him when I wake up in the morning.
I'm just-- I'm confused because I care about Ben.
Like, I really, really do.
Mhm.
But I think I should break up with him because I don't
think I can commit to him.
And he's already committed to me.
Oh, that's a shame.
I think I kind of like Ben.
Wait a minute.
Was that Nick?
What?
BARBARA: Emma!
You here?
[wacky music]
I knew I recognized Nick.
He's the love doctor.
My niece is dating the love doctor.
Oh, no, I'm--
I'm not dating him.
Oh, right.
That's right.
It's the other guy.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Oh, well, that means, heck, he's single.
Oh, that boy don't know what's coming his way,
when I get my hands on him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no, no, no, she's not ready to give up on Nick yet.
Besides, don't nobody want all that.
Excuse you.
SANDRA: Listen, you need to go to Nick
and you tell him just what you told us.
But Mommy, I did.
He was so cold.
He made it perfectly clear that he doesn't want to be with me.
I went from no man to two men, and now most likely
no man again.
You know it'll pass.
Baby, sometimes you go from one man
to three, then back to one, then to five.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we get the point.
As long as the point is made.
I mean, the point is that it's not about there being
other fish in the sea, OK.
Nick is more than that to me.
He's everything.
So even if he never wants me as his lady,
I don't want to lose him as a friend.
The thing is killing me.
And I'm sorry for trauma dumping all of this on you guys.
Oh.
Baby girl, you had to apologize for nothing like that.
Hmm, we family.
Yeah.
We have to listen to your crap.
What she means is that you could tell us anything.
I would never judge you, baby.
Even if I really messed things up
and lied to all of your faces.
The lying part-- but at least you owned up to it, right?
And this is in part, me and your mama's fault,
too, for putting so much pressure on you.
Man, we're just happy with whatever you decide to do, baby.
We always got your back.
And we know that you will always make
the best decision for yourself.
So we'll always support you.
But if not, slip Nick my fans only account.
You know, I got a deal going.
No, no, Aunt Barbara.
No-- no OnlyFans.
Only why.
[laughter]
I try.
I should probably go.
I'm supposed to meet Ben.
Yes.
And I guess I have a lot to think about on the way.
Well, I'll tell you what?
Afterwards come on back here and let pops make you
one of his famous breakup sundaes.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Anything for you, baby.
Yeah, bye.
I'm gonna see you.
Drive safe.
Why did you say that?
What?
Oh, she loves my breakup sundaes.
I'd made them dozens of times. - Right.
And that's the problem.
But this time, we're looking for a different result.
I know better than to trust the matters of the heart
with my daughter.
And I refuse to let this be the end of their story.
Can you let her decide that?
Well, she already decided.
But she can't say it out loud.
So now I'm going to finally help her make her own decision,
instead of getting her to do what I want to do all the time.
Well, where are you going?
To find Nick.
Well, can you take that with you?
No, that's your problem.
You sure you don't want to take that with you?
George.
I need a man's strength to help me with my foot corns.
[wacky music]
Ooh.
George.
[hiss]
Oh, now there's no boyfriend?
Do-- do you want a tip?
I'll bring you a glass of wine on the house.
[gently melody]
Hey, baby.
Hey.
[kiss]
Why do I get the feeling this is more than a spur
of the moment date idea?
Actually, I can pour you one.
OK.
Ben.
This is going to sound really disingenuous,
but sincerely it's not you, Ben.
It's me.
You're ending things.
I don't want to.
And I feel like I have to.
Ben, you are the full package.
And you deserve a love that will love you back
and that will fully come commit.
I can't give you that.
It's the other guy, isn't it?
No.
There's no other guy.
I just-- I feel like I have to be alone for a while.
Well-- well, I guess that means that I can
move on to your Aunt Barbara.
Excuse me.
She slipped me her number before she headed out.
[chuckles] Of course she did.
May I?
Oh, Ben, I really am sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
No, but for what it's worth, Emma, I really
do hope you find your happy.
I do.
You deserve it.
Bye, Ben.
[knocking]
Nick.
Come on.
I know you're in there.
Open up.
Who is it?
SANDRA: Me.
[door opens]
Sandra?
What are you doing here?
Well, I was told you were a little under the weather.
So I brought you a care package.
You need a maid, too.
Yeah, I actually didn't put there
for anybody to stop by today.
Listen, honey, don't even worry about that.
Put all that stuff down.
I just came over here to talk to you for a little bit.
Sit down.
Now, first and foremost, do you love my daughter?
Actually, don't even answer that.
I know that you love her.
It's clear as the blue sky.
But are you willing to do something about it?
Well, there's not anything to do when Emma
wants nothing to do with me.
You know that's funny.
She said the exact same thing.
Sandra, I overheard your conversation
in the kitchen on Christmas-- how she
wants nothing to do with me.
And she wants to be with Ben.
Oh, baby, you didn't hear everything.
Emma is bound and determined to make her father and I happy.
And I'm foolish enough to have pushed her into that situation.
She did mention that your husband
and your relationship was a key factor in her decision-making,
but--
Ben is a good choice.
He's husband material.
And if he'd been one of my clients,
I would have matched them anyway.
Yeah, but I know my daughter.
And Ben is a good choice.
He's just not the best choice for Emma.
You are.
Did Emma tell you that?
She sure did.
And if you love my daughter like I know you love my daughter,
then you're going to go and get your woman.
[laughter]
Yeah.
I'm going to go get that woman.
You talking about now or in the next lifetime?
Oh, like-- like right now.
Like right now. I came over here to pick you up.
So let's go. - Let's go.
- Get the keys? - Yep.
Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait a minute, baby.
Now, you gotta shower and do something with your face.
You gonna freshen up, right?
I have to go brush my teeth, too.
Yeah, I wasn't going to say nothing.
But good thing you're good looking.
Come on, baby, let's go.
[wacky music]
[door opens]
What are you doing, Nick?
Sandra, I appreciate you trying to help.
But I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
Oh, what's the worst that could happen?
Well--
Well, she could tell you she doesn't like you like that,
and then hit you on the back of the head,
and then turn you out into the cold, hard street,
and then leave you there for dead?
Yeah.
Essentially.
Sandra.
Sandra do not.
Sandra-- what are you doing?
- Look, are you a man? - Yes.
And do you love my daughter?
I do.
Then what are you doing still sitting in that car?
Look, I'm going to play the love doctor and give you some advice.
Regret is the worst feeling in the world,
especially when you regret something that you
could have easily changed.
Now, are you cool with never knowing what could have been?
Or are you happy sitting in your potential mother in law's car,
never knowing the happiness that you and my daughter
could have shared?
You're right.
I should see this thing through no matter what happens.
Absolutely.
I'm always right.
Then get out.
You done used up all my gas.
Oh, jeez.
[door shuts]
Oh, that looks good.
Uh-uh.
Aw.
Nobody hurt you.
You know I have delicate bones.
Are you honestly going to eat that whole thing?
Mhm.
Well, yeah, she will.
She'll have seconds, too.
[laughter]
Oh, baby, let daddy go get you some more chocolate for you
ice cream, ha?
How about that?
[door bell]
Oh, saved by the bell.
[door creaks]
Oh, St. Nicholas.
I knew you couldn't resist my chimney.
There ain't nobody down that chimney in decades.
SANDRA: All right, you two.
Let's give Emma and Nick the room, shall we?
Oh, no, she had her chance.
Mr. Doctor Love, well, I'm very sick.
And I need a cure only you that could provide.
Guess what, Barbara?
Baby, if you're sick, we're going to go call the vet, OK?
Let's go.
Good luck.
You got this.
OK?
All Right.
Hey.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
No, I--
Should I?
Yeah, you first.
I'm sorry for the way I acted the day after Christmas
when you called.
I overheard you and your mom talking in the kitchen, and--
Oh, no, I didn't mean--
It's OK.
She stopped by earlier and cleared everything up.
What?
Like, she came to your house?
I mean, she does make an amazing food basket.
[laughter]
OK.
The truth is this, OK?
I've fallen for you.
And I couldn't deal with the fact
that I might have lost my chance.
I wish that I could just go back and share with you what I
felt back then on those dates.
You know?
Yep, them mock dates.
No.
They were real to me.
And I wish I could go back and tell you how I felt.
And this may not even be fair to say, but Emma, I need to say it.
Emma, I love you.
And I've helped so many people find love.
I've always wished that I could secretly feel the way they felt.
I thought I had it.
And now that I do have it, I know that I never did before.
Thank you for coming back.
And I'm sorry for all of the drama, you know,
especially because those mock dates were realer than anything
I've experienced in my whole life, which is why
I broke things off with Ben.
And then I tried to convince myself
that maybe I'd be better alone.
So thank God for mom for coming to get
you because I love you, too.
[romantic music]
[laughter]
That is some Hallmark Channel stuff--
that right there.
Thank you, Auntie.
Yeah.
[laughter]
I never thought I would be happy that my family
meddled in my relationship.
[laughter]
This is going to make one hell of a wedding tell story.
Oh.
Dad.
Wedding-- Wedding--
Wedding?
- toast.
No.
Too soon?
Just a little bit.
OK.
Well, let's have some champagne to celebrate.
- Yeah. - How about that?
I'll get it. - I'll get the glasses.
OK.
(SINGING) what makes the season special
is having those special someones to share it with
And like a blanket on a cold night
Cheers to the start of something
wonderful and something I know will last a lifetime.
And for the craziest, most uncertain, but all
around most amazing Christmas I've ever had
into my very own love doctor.
[jubilation]
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, another round, anybody?
What? Really?
Really.
[laughter]
OK, let me pour it for you.
Oh, I'll get it.
(SINGING) So make sure you keep giving
your love at Christmas time.
So as long as you keep living
Make sure you keep giving love, love at Christmas time
What makes this life worth living?
It's the love we're giving each and every day
Even with this frightful weather,
love will make it better
And move the clouds away
Oh, presents and cards are nice
But I rather give you something that will last your whole life
Cherish these special times
Let your love shine cause it's Christmas time
It's the gift that keeps on giving
So make sure you keep giving love, love at Christmas time
So as long as you keep living
Make sure you keep giving love, love at Christmas time
It's the gift that keeps on giving
So make sure you keep giving love, love at--
Yo, this has been a huge process.
I don't ever want to stop this.
I want us to all continue to build off of each other
and get to wherever we want to go in our careers.
And I think, together we can do that.
And I always end with this beautiful quote.
And that's, if you want to go fast, go alone.
And if you want to go far, go together.
I am blessed and fortunate to go far with all of you guys.
And this is just the very beginning.
Y'all, we're going to the moon. - Yes.
And I mean, we're going to land amongst the stars.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
[cheering, applause]
