00:00:30♪♪
00:00:37Now, this is exactly what I was looking for, Alex.
00:00:40Now, you get home and see your family.
00:00:42Don't stay too late, okay?
00:00:44♪♪
00:00:46Ms. Williams, if you would just take a look
00:00:48at the numbers here, we have put together
00:00:50an extensive report.
00:00:52Call me Roger.
00:00:53Roger.
00:00:54I mean, I'm just not sure.
00:00:56This is a lot to take in.
00:00:58♪♪
00:00:59Well, you'll see we've actually interviewed
00:01:0137 employees, both here and at various regional offices.
00:01:05We have analyzed their work flow systems, processes,
00:01:08and we've identified areas where there are inefficiencies
00:01:13and or redundancies.
00:01:15You should actually see the recommendations on page 12.
00:01:17Oh.
00:01:19I don't know.
00:01:20I'm never gonna make it.
00:01:23Uh, why don't you take some time over the holidays
00:01:26to think about what we've proposed?
00:01:29I know that these decisions are never easy to make.
00:01:32Well, I was hoping to take care of this before the holidays,
00:01:35so it's not looming over me at the start of the year.
00:01:39But perhaps you're right.
00:01:40I agree.
00:01:41Yeah, you know, sometimes all you need
00:01:43is just a little bit of time to put things into perspective.
00:01:48All right.
00:01:49Let's regroup at the start of the year.
00:01:51Thanks again for all your help and suggestions.
00:01:53Oh, thank you.
00:01:54You're most welcome.
00:01:55Have the best holiday.
00:01:57Okay.
00:01:58Yeah.
00:01:59I've made it to the airport in less time before.
00:02:02I like my chances.
00:02:03I have faith in you, but you are cutting it pretty close.
00:02:06I once made it from a meeting in midtown Manhattan
00:02:09to my seat on the plane in less than 30 minutes.
00:02:12Yeah, but it wasn't Christmas.
00:02:14And don't forget, we owe the boss man
00:02:16our proposal for BL Tech as soon as we're back.
00:02:18You know me.
00:02:19I will work on it on the plane.
00:02:20Now go.
00:02:21Go enjoy your holiday.
00:02:22Oh, and tell your wife I said Merry Christmas.
00:02:28Hey, I just finished my meeting
00:02:30and I'm rushing to get to the airport.
00:02:32Uh, I'm pretty sure I can make it.
00:02:34Are you still going to pick me up?
00:02:36Of course.
00:02:37I can't wait to see you.
00:02:39Looks beautiful.
00:02:40Where are you?
00:02:41I stopped by Mom's and Dad's
00:02:44to borrow from Mom's gigantic collection
00:02:46of Christmas gift bags from years past.
00:02:48Who is that?
00:02:49Is that Emily?
00:02:53I'm making your favorite cookies right now.
00:02:56You hear that?
00:02:57Yes, it's Em.
00:02:59Tell her we say hi and can't wait to see her.
00:03:01They taking good care of you?
00:03:03Very.
00:03:04I'm barely allowed to set the table.
00:03:07And I will not miss the birth, okay?
00:03:11I would not miss it for the world.
00:03:14Thank you.
00:03:15I know how much that means to you.
00:03:18And you're okay coming alone this year?
00:03:22Yeah, it's fine.
00:03:24It's been ten months since we broke up.
00:03:26Plus, this will give me more time
00:03:29to focus on you, Mom and Dad.
00:03:32Yeah, I really miss you guys.
00:03:34Well, then get home.
00:03:36We can't wait to see you.
00:03:39Right.
00:03:40The weather's getting worse.
00:03:42But I'm going to have to let you go
00:03:44because my ride share will be here in...
00:03:46Whoa.
00:03:47Before you can say two turtle doves.
00:03:49I gotta go.
00:03:50Okay, see you soon.
00:04:04Oh, I am so sorry.
00:04:08Here you go.
00:04:10Merry Christmas.
00:04:16Here you go.
00:04:19That's okay.
00:04:20Thank you.
00:04:34Oh, hi.
00:04:35Uh, excuse me.
00:04:37Let me get out of your way.
00:04:38That's my car!
00:04:39That's my car!
00:04:40No!
00:04:41Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:04:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:45Watch out!
00:04:49I am so sorry.
00:04:53Are you okay?
00:04:57Let's get you up.
00:05:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:07I'm never gonna make it in time for my flight.
00:05:10I feel absolutely terrible about that.
00:05:13This is my car here.
00:05:14I'm heading to the airport right now.
00:05:16Give you a lift, it's the least I can do.
00:05:18Uh, yes, that's really kind of you.
00:05:21I really appreciate it.
00:05:22Is that okay?
00:05:23Yeah.
00:05:24I'm Simon.
00:05:26Emily.
00:05:28Thanks again.
00:05:30Sorry if I was a little bit short with you earlier.
00:05:32It's just, it's been a long day,
00:05:34and, uh, I'm running late for my flight.
00:05:36Oh, no problem at all.
00:05:38I'm actually cutting it pretty close myself.
00:05:41Where are you headed?
00:05:44I was, I was in a meeting today.
00:05:46I thought it would never end,
00:05:48but I'm in sales,
00:05:49so I couldn't just tell the client
00:05:51I got a flight to catch.
00:05:52That would just be a waste of time.
00:05:56I got a flight to catch.
00:05:57That would just be...
00:05:59Yeah, um, it's all about the sale, right?
00:06:05Yeah, so, uh, what do you do?
00:06:07Huh?
00:06:09I said, what do you do?
00:06:11Sorry, I'm just trying to update my family.
00:06:14I am so sorry.
00:06:16I have a, you know,
00:06:17tendency just to talk people's ears off.
00:06:19I'm a people person.
00:06:20Always asking questions.
00:06:26Did you say something?
00:06:29Oh, no, uh, you do what you gotta do.
00:06:31No, it's just work.
00:06:33This late before the holiday, huh?
00:06:35Yeah, they expect you to be on 24-7,
00:06:37but if I get what I need done now,
00:06:39then I can just relax when I get to my parents.
00:06:42Oh, fair enough.
00:06:45So, how's your day?
00:06:56Thanks again for the ride.
00:06:57You are a lifesaver.
00:06:59Merry Christmas.
00:07:00Merry Christmas.
00:07:02Oh, wait, let me help you with your bag.
00:07:06You've been selected for an additional security check.
00:07:08Is this your bag?
00:07:09Did you pack it yourself?
00:07:11You've got to be kidding me.
00:07:20Okay, I'm sorry.
00:07:21I know that this is your job,
00:07:22but my flight is boarding,
00:07:25and I need to get home, so if...
00:07:27You and everyone else.
00:07:29Yes.
00:07:30Oh, okay.
00:07:32That's...
00:07:36Okay, I'll just send it.
00:07:38Sorry.
00:07:47It's a Christmas morning family tradition.
00:07:50Comfortable.
00:07:56Okay.
00:08:02Am I good to go?
00:08:04Okay.
00:08:08Merry Christmas.
00:08:19Oh, hi.
00:08:20You just made it.
00:08:21We were about to close the door.
00:08:24Oh, I'm sorry, miss.
00:08:26Because you weren't here 20 minutes prior to boarding,
00:08:28we gave away your seat.
00:08:29Seriously?
00:08:30I mean, I'm here now,
00:08:31so is there anything you can do?
00:08:34Well, I can't get you back your bulkhead seat,
00:08:36but I might have something for you
00:08:41in the exit row.
00:08:42Is that okay?
00:08:44Is there nothing you can do, Miss Monroe?
00:08:48Miss Monroe,
00:08:49I'm actually one of your elite members, so...
00:08:53I truly, truly appreciate your business.
00:08:56But unfortunately,
00:08:57with it being the holidays
00:08:58and everybody trying to get home,
00:09:00well, the best I can do is an exit seat.
00:09:03Yeah, okay.
00:09:04I appreciate it.
00:09:05I mean, I guess the most important thing
00:09:06is getting home, right?
00:09:09What a small world.
00:09:10Emily, right?
00:09:11Oh, right.
00:09:13I'm so sorry.
00:09:14I feel awful,
00:09:15but I forgot your name.
00:09:17Simon.
00:09:18Oh, right.
00:09:19Simon.
00:09:20Right.
00:09:21Simon.
00:09:22I guess so.
00:09:23I mean, I gave away my original seat
00:09:25because I was stuck at security,
00:09:26so now I have a middle seat.
00:09:28Oh, wow.
00:09:30I'm sorry to hear that.
00:09:32You know what, though?
00:09:33I have an aisle seat.
00:09:34Just one second.
00:09:35Oh, no, no, no.
00:09:36I couldn't.
00:09:37No.
00:09:39If I hadn't gotten in your way on the street,
00:09:41I insist.
00:09:46That's really kind of you.
00:09:48Thank you.
00:09:50Oh, there you go.
00:09:51Thank you.
00:09:52Merry Christmas.
00:09:53Enjoy your flight.
00:09:54Thank you.
00:09:55Merry Christmas.
00:09:56Appreciate it.
00:10:00Well, at least let me buy you a drink on the plane, okay?
00:10:03I will send it over.
00:10:04Deal.
00:10:09Merry Christmas, folks.
00:10:10This is your captain speaking.
00:10:12That polar vortex is putting some weather in our path,
00:10:16so all Seattle flights are being diverted
00:10:19to Butte, Montana.
00:10:20Let's hope the weather clears soon
00:10:22and we can get you all to your final destination.
00:10:34Hey.
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:36Do you mind?
00:10:38Aisle?
00:10:39Middle?
00:10:40Middle is great.
00:10:49Well, better safe than sorry, right?
00:10:52Well, it's not the first time it's happened,
00:10:54and it certainly won't be the last time.
00:10:57I'm sure the weather's going to clear up.
00:11:05So I can't even count how many flights
00:11:07it's been for me this year.
00:11:08I've seen every single in-flight movie there is.
00:11:12I'm not joking.
00:11:16Oh, jeez.
00:11:18Oh, gee, I am...
00:11:19I'm sorry.
00:11:20I've been chatting your ear off this whole time.
00:11:22I've never even asked about you.
00:11:25What you working on?
00:11:26Oh, just spreadsheets.
00:11:27I'm a management consultant.
00:11:29I'm actually working on a proposal for a client right now.
00:11:32Ah.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:35And you're heading home to see your family for the holidays?
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:40Like you, I'm constantly on the road,
00:11:41so getting to spend the holidays with my family
00:11:44means everything to me.
00:11:45Oh.
00:11:46Yeah.
00:11:48That's really sweet.
00:11:49And I know what you mean.
00:11:50I think this is like day 15 or 16 for me on this trip.
00:11:53I honestly lost track by now.
00:11:54That's a really long time.
00:11:56Explains the luggage.
00:11:57Oh, yeah.
00:11:58Hilarious.
00:12:01How many days for you?
00:12:03Eight.
00:12:04Half the time, I don't even know what city I'm in.
00:12:08I know what you mean.
00:12:09This one time, I was coming back to my hotel
00:12:11after a long meeting,
00:12:12and I completely forgot what room I was in.
00:12:14I had to go down to the front desk
00:12:16and ask the clerk.
00:12:17Yikes.
00:12:21So let me guess.
00:12:24You are a Praise Hotels elite member.
00:12:30How did you know?
00:12:31Oh, just a lucky guess.
00:12:33But, you know, based on your job
00:12:34and sort of how you are,
00:12:36it just made sense.
00:12:38And plus, for me,
00:12:39it's part of my job to know how to read people
00:12:41so I can sell to them.
00:12:43Well, that's pretty impressive.
00:12:46Actually, I'm really sorry.
00:12:48I don't mean to be rude,
00:12:49but it has been a long day,
00:12:51and I would just love it
00:12:52if I could just, you know,
00:12:53put in my headphones
00:12:54and just listen to a little music
00:12:56and try and get this done.
00:12:58Of course, yeah.
00:13:00I'm sorry about that.
00:13:01As a fellow road warrior,
00:13:02I totally get it.
00:13:04Great.
00:13:05Thank you.
00:13:16What happened?
00:13:18Oh, oh, I'm, I'm so sorry.
00:13:21What?
00:13:22I seem to have this effect on women.
00:13:26No, I just had the weirdest dream,
00:13:28or maybe it was a nightmare.
00:13:30I don't know.
00:13:32You're all good.
00:13:33It's going to be smooth sailing from here.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:38I'm sorry.
00:13:40I'm sorry.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
00:13:44I'm sorry.
00:13:46Attention passengers
00:13:47on flight 645 to Seattle.
00:13:49We thought we were going to be able
00:13:51to get you all home tonight,
00:13:52but I've just been told
00:13:53there's now a ground stop in effect,
00:13:55which means it looks like
00:13:56there won't be another flight out tonight.
00:13:59So, what are you, uh,
00:14:00going to do with this unexpected night
00:14:02in the middle of nowhere?
00:14:03Well, to be honest,
00:14:04I just want to get to a hotel,
00:14:05take a nice long shower,
00:14:07and just pray that I will get
00:14:08on the first flight out tomorrow.
00:14:11From your lips.
00:14:14Oh, and, uh,
00:14:15Simon, it was a pleasure to meet you.
00:14:16Uh, if I don't see you again,
00:14:17I hope you have a great holiday.
00:14:19Okay.
00:14:20Merry Christmas.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:25Hey, folks,
00:14:26I'm going to give you a hand.
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:40Oh.
00:14:46Are you following me?
00:14:48Oh, hey.
00:14:50I'm just kidding,
00:14:51but I knew you were
00:14:52a Praise Hotels person.
00:14:53Yeah, they're usually
00:14:54the closest to the airport,
00:14:55so...
00:14:58You know, it's, uh,
00:14:59it's too bad
00:15:00we're only here overnight.
00:15:01I heard this is a,
00:15:02a really fun town
00:15:03with a great barbecue spot.
00:15:04You like barbecue, right?
00:15:06You always see the positive
00:15:08in every situation, huh?
00:15:11To be honest,
00:15:12I just want a hot shower
00:15:13and my bed.
00:15:16Oh.
00:15:19Oh, uh,
00:15:20do you need help
00:15:21with your bags?
00:15:22Oh, no, I'll,
00:15:23I'll be okay, but thanks.
00:15:24Yeah, okay.
00:15:29Okay, let's go.
00:15:38Hi, uh,
00:15:39reservation under Nichols,
00:15:40first name Emily.
00:15:41Of course, Miss Nichols.
00:15:43We have you all set
00:15:44for one night
00:15:46I just need your ID
00:15:47and a credit card
00:15:48for any incidental charges.
00:15:49Just...
00:15:54No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:56Please, no.
00:15:57Not right now.
00:15:58Is there a problem?
00:16:00I can't seem to find my wallet.
00:16:07I don't have it.
00:16:11Is there any way...
00:16:13Oh, actually,
00:16:15I have a loyalty card
00:16:16stored in the app,
00:16:17so would that work?
00:16:18I am sorry, Miss.
00:16:19Without an ID
00:16:20and credit card,
00:16:21I'm afraid I can't
00:16:22check you in.
00:16:23And with the storm outside,
00:16:24we have a lot of people
00:16:25needing rooms
00:16:26and this is the last one,
00:16:27so I'll need to release it.
00:16:28But I need that room.
00:16:30Again, I am sorry, Miss,
00:16:31but I will need you
00:16:32to step aside.
00:16:42Good evening, uh,
00:16:43Jamie.
00:16:45How are you this evening?
00:16:46Better now.
00:16:47How can I help you?
00:16:48Well,
00:16:49wouldn't you know it,
00:16:50with this crazy storm outside,
00:16:51my flight has been canceled.
00:16:53Don't have a room for the night.
00:16:55Just wondering if you could,
00:16:56uh, help me out.
00:16:58This might be your lucky day.
00:17:00It seems a room
00:17:01just opened up
00:17:02and it's a really nice upgrade
00:17:03from our regular rooms.
00:17:05Would you look at that?
00:17:07I feel like Santa Claus tonight.
00:17:09I can even give it to you
00:17:10for the regular rate.
00:17:12Merry Christmas.
00:17:14But that's, that's my room.
00:17:15I'm sorry, Miss,
00:17:16I had to release it.
00:17:18I'm confused.
00:17:20I, uh,
00:17:21I must have left my wallet
00:17:22at the airport
00:17:23when I had to go
00:17:24through the extra security
00:17:25and now
00:17:26they won't give me my room
00:17:27without my credit card and ID.
00:17:32There's nothing you can do
00:17:33to help this lady out?
00:17:35I'm sorry, sir.
00:17:36She doesn't have a credit card
00:17:37and ID.
00:17:38I can actually vouch for her.
00:17:39You know,
00:17:40I know that she is, uh,
00:17:41top elite, uh,
00:17:42you know,
00:17:43top status.
00:17:44I really wish I could help her, sir,
00:17:45but
00:17:46it's company policy.
00:17:49Company policy.
00:17:52Well,
00:17:53I mean,
00:17:55I have a credit card.
00:17:56Uh,
00:17:58would you like to split the room?
00:18:01Oh, I,
00:18:02I couldn't
00:18:03do that.
00:18:05What, are you gonna sleep
00:18:06on the floor of the airport?
00:18:09You're a lifesaver.
00:18:10I, I will send you the money
00:18:11I owe you,
00:18:12right now.
00:18:13Let's not worry
00:18:14right now about that.
00:18:15Uh, you know,
00:18:16that's, we're both very tired
00:18:17and let's just
00:18:18get a good night's rest
00:18:19and
00:18:20we can sort this out later.
00:18:27Here we are.

00:19:11Well,
00:19:12it is our honeymoon.
00:19:15Uh.
00:19:17I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
00:19:18I got the couch.
00:19:20I mean, I,
00:19:21I couldn't let you.
00:19:22You're the one who got us
00:19:23the room after all.
00:19:24Listen, I'm not gonna
00:19:25make you sleep
00:19:26on the couch.
00:19:28I feel bad.
00:19:29The hope.
00:19:32Look, my mother
00:19:33raised me right, Emily.
00:19:34If she had any idea
00:19:36that I made you sleep
00:19:37on the couch,
00:19:38she would kill me.
00:19:39Are you sure?
00:19:41Yes, I'm sure.
00:19:42Okay, thanks.
00:19:43And, and,
00:19:44thank you to your mother.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:54Hey, uh,
00:19:55do you need to use the bathroom
00:19:56before I get in there?
00:19:57I just have a night leave routine
00:19:58that might take a little while.
00:19:59Um,
00:20:01yeah, that would be great.
00:20:02Just one sec.
00:20:08Thanks.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:20Hey.
00:20:22So,
00:20:23you're in the honeymoon suite
00:20:24with a hot guy?
00:20:25I'm waiting for the bad part.
00:20:27You're the one
00:20:28who's always complaining
00:20:29that you never meet anyone.
00:20:30Maybe this is the universe
00:20:31sending you a sign.
00:20:33The guy, he's handsome,
00:20:34but that's not the point.
00:20:35I mean,
00:20:36he talked about you
00:20:37off at the airport
00:20:38and in the ride share
00:20:39and the shuttle.
00:20:40Is he married?
00:20:41Single?
00:20:42How would I know that?
00:20:43You didn't look for a ring?
00:20:44Why would I do that?
00:20:46Please,
00:20:47when I was single
00:20:48and saw a cute guy,
00:20:49that was the first thing
00:20:50I looked for.
00:20:52You need to take
00:20:53more of an interest
00:20:54in people, Em.
00:20:55Oh, I think he's coming.
00:20:56Okay,
00:20:57check his ring finger.
00:20:58Also,
00:20:59I need a pic
00:21:00or it didn't happen.
00:21:01Um,
00:21:02so I'm going to try
00:21:03and get on the very first flight
00:21:04out tomorrow morning.
00:21:05As soon as I have
00:21:06the flight info,
00:21:07I'll text you.
00:21:08Okay, bye.
00:21:09It's all yours.
00:21:15What's, uh,
00:21:16what's that smile for?
00:21:17What?
00:21:18Uh, nothing.
00:21:19Nothing, I'm just, uh,
00:21:20really excited to shower.
00:21:23Oh.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:39Okay.
00:21:58Okay.
00:21:59Yeah.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:20I'm calling the front desk.
00:22:21It doesn't seem like
00:22:22they have hot water here.
00:22:23Oh, oh, my goodness.
00:22:24I am so, so sorry.
00:22:25I didn't mean to.
00:22:26I thought you'd be
00:22:27longer in the shower.
00:22:28I couldn't resist.
00:22:29Mm-hmm.
00:22:30What's that about
00:22:31the front desk?
00:22:32Never mind.
00:22:33It's fine.
00:22:36What's so funny?
00:22:37Oh,
00:22:38I'm glad you're
00:22:39comfortable enough
00:22:40to be like this around me.
00:22:41What?
00:22:42The robe?
00:22:43Or...
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:48Uh...
00:22:50Well, uh,
00:22:51actually,
00:22:52the Plane Am
00:22:53just kind of
00:22:54dries you out,
00:22:55so I find that
00:22:56this helps make the
00:22:57skin a little hydrated,
00:22:58so you should try it.
00:22:59It's good.
00:23:00We all have
00:23:01our little rituals.
00:23:02I like to do, uh,
00:23:03you know, 100 push-ups
00:23:04and 200 crunches
00:23:05before I go to bed.
00:23:06Oh, uh, yeah.
00:23:07I mean...
00:23:11It's working.
00:23:21I don't know about you,
00:23:22but I see treats
00:23:23and I'm starving.
00:23:24Do you want some?
00:23:25It's on me.
00:23:27Uh, well, yeah, sure.
00:23:28But technically,
00:23:29I put my credit card down,
00:23:30so it's, uh,
00:23:31it's on me.
00:23:32Sorry.
00:23:33You've been so kind to me
00:23:34when I've been a little bit,
00:23:35uh,
00:23:36just a little bit...
00:23:37Standoffish?
00:23:39I'm kidding.
00:23:40I'm kidding.
00:23:41Well,
00:23:42maybe just a little bit.
00:23:44It's been a long
00:23:45and stressful day.
00:23:46It's totally understandable.
00:23:49Ooh,
00:23:50so much deliciousness.
00:23:52No contest.
00:23:53Definitely the chalk.
00:24:06Oh, wow.
00:24:07Nice presentation.
00:24:09It's called respect.
00:24:16I bet you like
00:24:17all my favorite things.
00:24:19I think
00:24:20it's actually you
00:24:21who likes my favorite things.
00:24:25Cheers.
00:24:26Cheers.
00:24:29Hey, did I hear
00:24:30your phone ring earlier?
00:24:31Maybe, uh,
00:24:32it was TSA with your wallet.
00:24:33Oh, yeah.
00:24:34I tried to get through
00:24:35to TSA, but, uh,
00:24:36I could only leave them
00:24:37a voicemail, so
00:24:38I'm gonna try them again tomorrow.
00:24:39Well,
00:24:40I'm sure it will turn up.
00:24:41Being on the road all the time,
00:24:42things are
00:24:43bound to go wrong.
00:24:44I mean,
00:24:45you can either be
00:24:46upset about it
00:24:47or you can just go with it.
00:24:48You never know
00:24:49what the situation might bring.
00:24:51Are you always so upbeat
00:24:52about everything?
00:24:54Maybe you're right.
00:24:56You know what?
00:24:57Let's start over.
00:24:59I'm Emily.
00:25:00Emily.
00:25:01Hi, I'm
00:25:02Simon.
00:25:03Nice to meet you.
00:25:04Emily.
00:25:05So,
00:25:06what are your plans
00:25:07for the holiday?
00:25:08Uh, well,
00:25:09I'm an only child
00:25:10and my parents
00:25:11passed away,
00:25:12so I usually just
00:25:13spend it with
00:25:14old college buddies.
00:25:15We have a
00:25:16very tight-knit group.
00:25:17In previous years,
00:25:18we've done
00:25:19Vegas,
00:25:20New Orleans,
00:25:21San Francisco.
00:25:22Sorry to hear
00:25:23about your parents,
00:25:24but your friends,
00:25:25they sound fun.
00:25:26I mean,
00:25:27family comes in
00:25:28all different forms.
00:25:29Hey, maybe it's
00:25:30a TSA.
00:25:31I got your wallet.
00:25:32It'd be amazing
00:25:33if they found it.
00:25:39It's just work.
00:25:41You know what?
00:25:42I need to learn
00:25:43how to take a break
00:25:44once in a while,
00:25:45so here we go.
00:25:47Well,
00:25:48it's definitely important
00:25:49to have some balance
00:25:50in your life.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:52And don't get me wrong,
00:25:53I do love my job,
00:25:54but with all the travel,
00:25:56it's just
00:25:57a lot of work.
00:25:58With all the travel,
00:25:59it gets to be
00:26:00a little lonely at times.
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:05Sorry.
00:26:08Was that your boyfriend?
00:26:10Boyfriend?
00:26:11Oh, I just assumed
00:26:12you had someone
00:26:13waiting for you
00:26:14the way you,
00:26:15you know,
00:26:16answer your phone,
00:26:17smiling,
00:26:18texting all the time.
00:26:19No, no.
00:26:20I wish.
00:26:21I mean,
00:26:22most of my relationships
00:26:23only last a few months.
00:26:24I mean,
00:26:25they always start out
00:26:26really great,
00:26:27and then they just start
00:26:28all over again.
00:26:29And you know what?
00:26:30Most guys,
00:26:31they just,
00:26:32they can't seem to handle that,
00:26:33you know?
00:26:34So,
00:26:35that is just a,
00:26:36a long-winded way
00:26:37of saying that
00:26:38if you see me smiling,
00:26:39I'm probably talking
00:26:40to my sister.
00:26:41Yeah,
00:26:42she's,
00:26:43she's about to give birth
00:26:44to her first child,
00:26:45and I wouldn't miss her
00:26:46for anything in the world,
00:26:47so.
00:26:50What about you?
00:26:51I mean,
00:26:52I noticed that you don't have
00:26:53a wedding ring,
00:26:54which means
00:26:55you're not married.
00:26:56When did you,
00:26:57when did you notice that?
00:26:58Oh, no,
00:26:59it's,
00:27:00I wasn't, like,
00:27:01looking for it on purpose
00:27:02or anything,
00:27:03I just,
00:27:04happened to notice it
00:27:05at some point.
00:27:06So,
00:27:07anyway,
00:27:08you're evading
00:27:09my question.
00:27:10I'm just wondering
00:27:11if you have
00:27:12someone special
00:27:13waiting for you.
00:27:14If there was,
00:27:15I,
00:27:16I wouldn't be going away
00:27:17with my buddies.
00:27:19I had a girlfriend
00:27:20a while ago,
00:27:21and when I got back
00:27:22from my old job,
00:27:23I was home all the time,
00:27:24and,
00:27:25I don't know,
00:27:26something,
00:27:27something just
00:27:28wasn't clicking anymore.
00:27:30Yeah,
00:27:31sorry to hear that.
00:27:33Now,
00:27:34I don't know what's worse,
00:27:35being on the road
00:27:36or being at home.
00:27:38I would like to think
00:27:39that,
00:27:40with the right person,
00:27:41it wouldn't matter.
00:27:43So,
00:27:45here's to
00:27:46all the fellow
00:27:47road warriors.
00:27:49May we find
00:27:50that special someone
00:27:51who finally understands
00:27:52our
00:27:53crazy, crazy life.
00:27:55Hear, hear.
00:27:59Okay, now,
00:28:00that smile
00:28:01is definitely not
00:28:02for your sister.
00:28:03What?
00:28:04Was I smiling?
00:28:06Oh,
00:28:07I don't...
00:28:08Uh,
00:28:09anyways,
00:28:10I'm actually
00:28:11gonna probably
00:28:12call it a night.
00:28:13I'm just super tired,
00:28:14and, uh,
00:28:15we gotta get up
00:28:16super early, so...
00:28:17Right,
00:28:18and, yeah,
00:28:19let's hope it's weather clear
00:28:20so we can finally,
00:28:21you know,
00:28:22get out of here.
00:28:23Yeah.
00:28:25You know,
00:28:26I'm actually
00:28:27not too tired.
00:28:28Do you
00:28:29mind if I...
00:28:30Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:32:06Oh, thank goodness.
00:32:07Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:32:08Hold on there.
00:32:09I'm not even set up yet.
00:32:10Just give me a moment.
00:32:11Of course, yeah.
00:32:12Sorry about that.
00:32:36Oh.
00:32:42Now,
00:32:43how can I help you?
00:32:44Okay, uh,
00:32:45you will not believe
00:32:46the night I've had, okay?
00:32:47I just need to...
00:32:48Oh, I hear you.
00:32:50I'm about to get
00:32:51hundreds of people
00:32:52just like you who...
00:32:54Yeah, I understand
00:32:55that you have to
00:32:56rebook a lobby.
00:32:57Oh, honey,
00:32:58no one's getting rebooked.
00:32:59Did you see
00:33:00the ice out there?
00:33:01I did.
00:33:02I'm not sure
00:33:03any planes
00:33:04are leaving here today.
00:33:06And the ones that do
00:33:07will be packed.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:10Well, I, uh,
00:33:11I actually need to get home.
00:33:13So if you could just...
00:33:14I understand.
00:33:15Mm-hmm.
00:33:16And I'm trying to help you.
00:33:18But if you want to get home
00:33:20today,
00:33:22I suggest
00:33:24renting a car.
00:33:26And I would get on that now
00:33:27before I tell
00:33:28hundreds of other passengers
00:33:30the same thing.
00:33:31I appreciate it.
00:33:32Yeah, thank you.
00:33:33And, uh,
00:33:34happy holidays.
00:33:36Hi.
00:33:37I'd like to rent a car.
00:33:39Yeah, I see.
00:33:41I'm not ready just yet.
00:33:43You're not ready yet?
00:33:45I...
00:33:47I'm not ready yet.
00:33:49You're not ready yet,
00:33:50then go back to work.
00:33:52Well, I have to go.
00:33:53I'm sorry to hear that.
00:33:54I have to go.
00:33:56You don't want to go back
00:33:57to work?
00:33:58No, I'm not going back.
00:34:00Do you want me to
00:34:01talk to my manager?
00:34:02I'll do it all myself.
00:34:03Hi, I'd like to rent a car. Please one way getting an early start. I see well
00:34:08I was told all the flights are pretty much grounded and I need to get home today
00:34:12Right is Nichols Emily Nichols, and I actually have the loyalty card sorting that right here
00:34:23Well firstly, thank you for being such a loyal
00:34:26Elite member and secondly, I think you're in luck. Looks like I can get you into one of our last cars
00:34:31It's a compact but it sure beats out the 15-person passenger van, which is the only other vehicle I have
00:34:37I'll take it whatever it takes to get me home. That is the compact car not the passenger van
00:34:43Although if I had to I'd even take that
00:34:47Great just a driver's license and a major credit card
00:34:53Right
00:34:56Mr.
00:34:58Rental car agent is it
00:35:01Spencer
00:35:03Spencer
00:35:05Here's the
00:35:07situation so I
00:35:09Lost my wallet yesterday
00:35:11Yeah with my ID and credit card and I'm still waiting for the TSA to let me know if they have it and on top
00:35:17Of that all the flights are grounded. So Spencer you are my only hope
00:35:24To get me home for Christmas
00:35:26Can you yeah, help me out?
00:35:32You know, I would really love to help out
00:35:36Even without a credit card as a elite member, you know, we could figure that out
00:35:41If you didn't have your license physically here, you know, I could make it work if you knew the number
00:35:47The problem is I can't let you drive
00:35:50Car without a driver's license
00:35:57I can rent you a car. Yeah, you just have to have somebody with a valid driver's license drive it for you
00:36:04Oh
00:36:19What's up
00:36:21Spencer, this is Simon. He will be my driver. Uh, hold on one second. What what I'm doing you a favor
00:36:28All the flights are either grounded or booked and Spencer here has one last car left with that and a van fit for a soccer
00:36:34Team. Oh, so so now you need me, huh?
00:36:38Well, how else are you gonna go see your friends tonight? Huh? It's a win-win, right? I
00:36:45Will let you listen to whatever you want on the radio whatever I want. Yes deal deal deal
00:36:59I
00:37:01Did you see those people at the rental counter when they said that no more cars we got lucky. Yeah lucky
00:37:07Lucky is right
00:37:08And I just mapped out the trip looks like we have a little more than eight hours to go
00:37:13Hopefully get you home in time before your sister goes into labor again. That would be amazing. You're a lifesaver again
00:37:21So, are you uh, are you ready to hear my holiday playlist
00:37:26I'm ready
00:37:40I can really tell you like my taste in music
00:37:45I'm I'm just kidding with you. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I do have a killer playlist
00:37:51I can compromise though
00:37:54Radio
00:37:55Yeah, maybe we can just listen to the news, you know hear about the weather and the road conditions with that. Okay
00:38:03Yeah, sure
00:38:11Hey you
00:38:12Sorry about the false alarm. Did you get a flight this morning?
00:38:17Sadly, no, everything was booked or grounded. So we're driving we yes
00:38:23I'm with Simon. He's my designated driver because I don't have my license
00:38:28Simon
00:38:32Well
00:38:37Hi Emily sister, oh
00:38:40And he sounds as cute as he looks
00:38:43Stop it
00:38:45Anyway, I should get to mom and dad's later tonight. Well, everyone is excited to see you
00:38:51Any more contractions, don't worry, I'm crossing my legs to make sure you're here for it. I'll be there. I promise
00:38:58She'll be there
00:39:01Emily's got a boyfriend
00:39:03I'm hanging out. Don't make me regret coming home
00:39:14I have no idea how you can do that while driving that would make me car sick. Here's a practice
00:39:20Actually have my laptop tethered to my phone so that I can access the Internet or check my emails
00:39:25It's like my own little mobile office
00:39:27Oh, and I actually canceled all my credit cards and I reported a lost item request to the TSA for my wallet
00:39:42Also, are you hot in here I feel like I'm in a sauna
00:39:46Seriously, I'm wearing my coat. It's freezing. I love how easy it is to rile you up
00:39:52You're terrible
00:39:53Good thing. We're not a couple because we are totally incompatible
00:39:58Were you
00:40:00Thinking what it might be like if we were dating no
00:40:06You wish
00:40:07All right, let's compromise turn down the heat a bit and in exchange
00:40:13You can have this lovely scarf
00:40:17Deal deal. Oh, this is so soft. Yeah, you may never get this back. Oh
00:40:25You uh, you you're gonna want to see this
00:40:28I
00:40:37Driven through here before plenty of times and I just I just love this view. It's it's beautiful
00:40:45Before I used to just drive by never noticing
00:40:49It's breathtaking
00:40:51I mean, I'm always trying to get to the next place as fast as possible. I I
00:40:57Don't think I've ever actually stopped to take a look at the view
00:41:01Well, you're missing out. You gotta appreciate the little things in life
00:41:09It's gorgeous, thank you sincerely
00:41:16You want to grab a selfie, you know to remember the moment it's not just the place but the people you're with right, okay
00:41:27All right
00:41:29All right, I'm three say Simon's right Emily was wrong, please don't push your luck
00:41:44You gotta keep that
00:41:48Thanks again, that's okay. Really. Oh, uh, I don't know what that was
00:41:55No need to apologize. I know grace botches down the road that serves a killer all-day breakfast. Can we please go?
00:42:19It looks a lot like Christmas to me
00:42:25Oh
00:42:28Table for two sit down anywhere. That's open. I know this looks just like a regular roadside diner
00:42:34But all the food here is super good. The eggs and veggies and meat come from the farm surrounding the area
00:42:40So good
00:42:44Coffee, oh, yes, please. Thank you
00:42:46Yeah, I'll get the holiday classic, please, oh, it's really good house honor and you miss there's so many choices
00:42:55Usually I would just get some yogurt and fruit. But uh
00:42:58What do you recommend the breakfast sandwich is really good poached eggs over breakfast sausage with peppers and onions a slice of melted cheese
00:43:05Served on sourdough toast
00:43:07Sounds delicious. I'll take it
00:43:09Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome
00:43:11It's really good poached eggs with peppers and onions a slice of melted cheese served on sourdough toast
00:43:17Sounds delicious. I'll take it. Oh, could I just make a few substitutions?
00:43:22Firstly I would love it if I could get it with egg whites only I don't love peppers and onions
00:43:27So, uh, maybe instead us slice of avocado and could I get turkey bacon instead of sausage?
00:43:32And if you have it, I would love it
00:43:33If you could just place it all on a croissant instead of the sourdough that would be amazing
00:43:41Looks like you have a new breakfast sandwich on the menu.
00:43:45Oh, and, uh, Stacy, is it?
00:43:48Um, does that come with anything like home fries?
00:43:50Uh-huh.
00:43:51Because I would love to get it with regular french fries instead.
00:43:54They're my only vice.
00:43:55But only, only when they are crispy and hot.
00:43:57So, when they're coming out, could you just please make sure that they're piping hot?
00:44:01Sizzling.
00:44:03Oh, I'll make sure they're hot, all right.
00:44:05All right.
00:44:10But I like fries.
00:44:14A woman after my own heart.
00:44:16Tell me you like watching sports, and I'll just have to marry you.
00:44:22Just the fries.
00:44:23And it looks a lot like Christmas to me.
00:44:29It looks a lot like Christmas to me.
00:44:32I can't believe you're a secret rom-com fan.
00:44:34I can't say I agree with your all-time favorite, but, uh, you show promise.
00:44:39Well, what can I say? I'm a helpless romantic, Emily.
00:44:42Really?
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:44Ew.
00:44:45I mean, I've dated a few women who, they say they want a sensitive guy, and when I am, they don't want to believe it.
00:44:51Well, uh, that's not what I meant.
00:44:55I just, I guess you surprise me.
00:45:00In a good way.
00:45:09So, work again?
00:45:11Yeah, how did you know?
00:45:13You just get this cute crinkle on your nose when you get a work email.
00:45:16Oh, I do?
00:45:21Yeah, I mean, it makes sense though. I've just been so busy this past year that I've missed a bunch of things with my family.
00:45:29So, this was my attempt to make up for it.
00:45:33Coffee?
00:45:34Yeah.
00:45:35Thanks.
00:45:36Thank you so much for joining us. I'll take that when you're ready.
00:45:38I'll get it.
00:45:40Okay.
00:45:42With what exactly?
00:45:44Gonna go wash some dishes?
00:45:46That's right.
00:45:47Sorry.
00:45:48Sorry.
00:45:49I'll put it on your tab.
00:45:51That's for you. Keep the change. Thanks again.
00:45:56Thank you so much. You're lucky to have such a great husband. Be sure to hold on to him. Merry Christmas.
00:46:04Merry Christmas.
00:46:08How did I end up with such a nice husband?
00:46:13I, I want to say it was coercion, but I could be wrong.
00:46:17Yeah. You seem to really have an effect on everyone you meet.
00:46:25I guess I'm just more, matter of fact with people, more transactional.
00:46:31Well, I guess the way I see it, every day has infinite possibilities.
00:46:36There are literally countless people you see on a daily basis, walking by, in a coffee shop, in the elevator.
00:46:43It's kind of cool who you might meet and what kind of impact they could have on your life.
00:46:49I mean, hey, look at us.
00:46:52Right.
00:46:58Should we go?
00:47:06So, next stop, home.
00:47:09Home.
00:47:10Yeah.
00:47:17I still can't get over how good that breakfast was.
00:47:20Yeah, those fries.
00:47:22Yeah, the fries. They were insane. Who would have thought to fry them in clarifying butter?
00:47:28Yeah.
00:47:29Mind blown.
00:47:31Oh, actually, I kind of have a little bit of a confession to make.
00:47:38I secretly love Christmas music. Don't judge me.
00:47:41You? I love Christmas music. I can't believe you didn't say anything earlier.
00:47:46I don't know. I guess I was just a little embarrassed.
00:47:48I didn't know how you would react since I haven't exactly been in a Christmas mood lately.
00:47:53Oh, please. I, I can't trust anybody who doesn't like Christmas music.
00:47:57I, I can't trust anybody who doesn't like Christmas music.
00:48:00Right? What is wrong with those people?
00:48:16What was that?
00:48:18Are you sure we just popped a tire? I'm going to pull over.
00:48:28Shit.
00:48:35Anything?
00:48:37It's bad news. Looks like we blew a tire.
00:48:40Are you serious?
00:48:44Please tell me you have the rental agreement in the car. There's got to be a number for roadside assistance in there.
00:48:50Pop the truck.
00:48:51What?
00:48:52Pop the truck.
00:48:54What are you doing?
00:48:55What does it look like?
00:48:58You know how to do that?
00:49:00You don't?
00:49:02Okay.
00:49:04My dad taught me because he wanted to make sure that I was never stranded.
00:49:08So, do you mind just loosening the lug nuts?
00:49:12The lug what?
00:49:16Are you serious?
00:49:18In order to put a spare on and take the bum tire off, we need to loosen the lug nuts.
00:49:23I actually like it when you say lug nuts.
00:49:26Wait, wait, wait.
00:49:28So, when you loosen it, you want to make sure that you put it back in a star pattern. See?
00:49:37Like this.
00:49:42I got it. I got it.
00:49:44You know, the roadside assistance people are never usually this helpful, but I kind of like it.
00:49:50Okay.
00:49:56Pick up the phone.
00:50:00I have a signal.
00:50:02Okay, there is a train station about 20 miles away. We can make that.
00:50:05I will just call and see if they can just pick up a rental car at the station.
00:50:10Thanks.
00:50:24Okay, I'm just going to go check the counter and get us some tickets.
00:50:26Sounds good.
00:50:28Okay.
00:50:30Hey, I need to get some tickets.
00:50:38Dad?
00:50:39Hey, Em. Is everything alright? Your sister says you're with some strange guy.
00:50:44It's fine. He's harmless. I mean, he can't even change a tire.
00:50:47Yeah, great. He already sounds better than your last boyfriend.
00:50:52Okay.
00:50:54Still think you'll make it by tonight?
00:50:55I hope so. I mean, we had a little bit of an issue with the rental car, but we're going to catch the train instead.
00:51:01I got good news and bad news.
00:51:17Dad, I have to go, but I will call you as soon as we get a better sense of when we'll get there.
00:51:22I need good news, so that first.
00:51:24Good news is, there definitely is a train that's going to get us home in time for the holidays.
00:51:30That's great. And what's the bad news?
00:51:32Bad news is, the train only runs once a day and we kind of just missed it.
00:51:39Great.
00:51:41Should we just chance it with the rental car then?
00:51:45Who would have thought we would have taken the car this quickly? I mean...
00:51:48We're stuck here.
00:51:50Kinda, until tomorrow.
00:51:55But there's a motel right there across the street.
00:51:57I say we grab a great night's sleep, catch the train first thing in the morning, and you'll be home just in time for Christmas Eve dinner.
00:52:02Okay, I appreciate your enthusiasm. Really, I do. But I was trying to be better this year.
00:52:07Okay, I had planned to arrive early and spend quality time with my family.
00:52:12But as always, I will be there at the last minute, and that is if everything goes right.
00:52:17And so far, we haven't had the best of luck, so...
00:52:22Well, I'm not the salesman I thought I was.
00:52:26But good news number two, the guy at the ticket counter gave me a voucher for the motel room.
00:52:30So, yay for us.
00:52:33Yay.
00:52:35Too much?
00:52:37Too much.
00:52:38Alright, come on.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:52Oh, I think that's...
00:52:54Oh, sorry.
00:52:55Okay.
00:52:56Oh.
00:52:58Great motel.
00:52:59Alright.
00:53:01We'll get you home tomorrow night?
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:04Great motel.
00:53:06We'll get you home tomorrow in time for Christmas Eve.
00:53:09Yeah, please don't jinx it.
00:53:10Well, hopefully this is the last little hiccup in our trip. I think we've hit the misfortune limit.
00:53:16Yeah, let's hope.
00:53:17Okay, well, see you tomorrow, bright and early.
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:20Sounds good.
00:53:34♪ On the radio and I wish you were here, but I'm miles from home.
00:53:47But I'll be back for Christmas.
00:53:52I'm gonna treasure all its charms.
00:53:57And the only thing that I want this year is to hold you in my arms.
00:54:10Well, the lights are shining across the town.
00:54:15And the streets are humming without festive sound.
00:54:20And the shops are selling all their Christmas cheer.
00:54:24But my heart feels empty without you here.
00:54:35But I'll be back for Christmas.
00:54:40Gonna treasure all its charms.
00:54:45And the only thing that I want this year is to hold you in my arms.
00:54:55And I'll be back for Christmas.
00:55:00I'll treasure all its charms.
00:55:05And the only thing that I want this year is to hold you in my arms.
00:55:18The only thing that I want this year is to hold you in my arms.
00:55:28Simon, you there?
00:55:31Simon? Simon?
00:55:34Hey.
00:55:35Hey. Hey.
00:55:37Hey, nice scarf.
00:55:39Oh, what? Yeah, sorry, I completely forgot. Do you want it back?
00:55:42Oh, no, no, no. You hang on to it. I know how cold you can get.
00:55:46Yeah.
00:55:48Did you need something or do you just miss me?
00:55:52No, I was just wanting to come and see when the train was leaving tomorrow. I know you told me, but I forgot.
00:55:59Uh, I think it's around 10 a.m.
00:56:02Cool.
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04Cool. Uh, yeah, it's just because it's once a day and I just want to make sure I don't want to miss it again or anything.
00:56:11Uh, what's with the cups?
00:56:14Oh, I, uh, wanted to see if you wanted some.
00:56:17Oh. Thanks.
00:56:23So, uh, where were you?
00:56:26Oh, I was actually coming to knock on your door.
00:56:30What, you missed me?
00:56:33I was actually just wondering if you wanted to find some snacks on that cute little main street we passed on the way in.
00:56:40I am starving and the vending machine back there is quite sad. I was wondering if you were hungry too.
00:56:46I am. Yeah, I am. Thanks.
00:56:48Um, I just think, you know, we've just been so cooped up, you know, in the car and the hotel rooms. It would just be nice to get some fresh air.
00:56:57Sounds like a great idea.
00:56:59Yeah. I'll, uh, I'll just grab my jacket quick.
00:57:03Okay.
00:57:08I don't remember the last time I did something like this. It's kind of nice.
00:57:13What, to go walk?
00:57:14Yeah.
00:57:16Well, no, I do walk. I just mean being somewhere with nothing to do.
00:57:23I've been so busy I barely even registered it's Christmas.
00:57:26I'm always running from an airport to a hotel to an office.
00:57:30I, here, I just have no control over the situation, you know, so it's kind of nice.
00:57:36Well, it's a great way to decompress before you see your family.
00:57:40Yeah, I guess. I mean, being with my family, it just reminds me of when life was simple, you know?
00:57:47When I was a kid, a snowball fight would just make me so happy. Don't you dare. Don't you...
00:57:52I'm not going to do it, okay? Just calm down.
00:57:56And plus, I saw your snow angel the first time we met and it was not so graceful.
00:58:01Very funny.
00:58:07Are you done with your hot chocolate?
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:10I'll be right back.
00:58:39What do you have there?
00:58:40You're going to have to pick a hand.
00:58:43Left.
00:58:45Your favorite. Some on your belt.
00:58:49Great.
00:58:51Nice.
00:58:53What's in the other hand?
00:58:54Oh, just snacks and sandwiches. The guy from the store said it would pair best with the wine and everything's closed for the holiday, so this is our little feast.
00:59:02Oh, and there's one more thing to get you in the holiday spirit. May I?
00:59:10Yeah.
00:59:16Oh, thanks. I've already missed so much, so this kind of helps.
00:59:24Well, shall we?
00:59:27Yeah.
00:59:29And what's that in your hand?
00:59:32Oh, I was just wondering if I still have the knife.
00:59:36Hey, you know there's a patio at the hotel we could use for our Christmas feast.
00:59:41You're right. We do have a patio.
00:59:49Yeah, I didn't realize it either. It's not the Ritz, but it'll do.
00:59:55It'll do.
00:59:57It's actually perfect. And on such a beautiful night.
01:00:02Lady.
01:00:09May I interest you in a bottle of our finest French wine?
01:00:15My, why?
01:00:17Oh, Emily, was that supposed to be French? That sounded a little more Australian to me.
01:00:22Stop it. I'm trying.
01:00:23D'accord, mademoiselle.
01:00:28Would you like to smell the bottle cap?
01:00:31No way. That's my favorite line from the Muppet movie.
01:00:34And then Steve Martin with the eye patch. It's a classic.
01:00:37Oh, so good.
01:00:40Okay, fine. Maybe you do have a good taste in movies.
01:00:46That's okay.
01:00:47I am so sorry. I think maybe with the eye patch my perception would have been better.
01:00:53It's totally fine. I'm just gonna clean up real quick so that it doesn't get sticky.
01:00:58You can use my patio door. It's closer if you want.
01:01:01Okay, thanks.
01:01:05Smooth moves, Simon.
01:01:17Thank you.
01:01:18Thank you.
01:01:20Thank you.
01:01:22Thank you.
01:01:46Wow, you're pulling out all the stops, huh?
01:01:48Yeah, I just figured if it's our last night together, it should be special, right?
01:01:53Yeah, let's just hope it's our last night together.
01:01:56Oh, thanks.
01:01:58Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, I just, I'm really enjoying my time with you.
01:02:04It's just, uh, I'd also really like to get home.
01:02:12You make it way too easy. I'm just teasing with you.
01:02:15Cheers.
01:02:18Cheers.
01:02:49Yeah, we'll meet the parents.
01:03:04What? You okay?
01:03:06Yeah, yeah, it's just my buddy can't make it this year. He's going with his girlfriend to meet her parents.
01:03:12I'm sorry. Yeah, it's too bad he'll miss the big guy.
01:03:15I'm sorry. Yeah, it's too bad he'll miss the big guy's weekend.
01:03:19Yeah, all my buddies are dropping like flies. I mean, I'm very happy for him, but pretty soon I'll be the last man standing.
01:03:27Yeah. It's a big step, though, meeting the family.
01:03:31My family, they always grill the guys I bring home.
01:03:34Rightly so. I don't always have the best judgment of guys.
01:03:37I mean, they're always just so perfect on paper, but then in real life, it just—
01:03:42You know what? Um, I'm pretty beat.
01:03:48Oh, what time is it? Oh, wow. How did it get to be so late?
01:03:53We've been out here for hours, but it's been really nice.
01:03:58Yeah, I agree. It's been a perfect way to spend the evening.
01:04:05Our long nightmare is finally coming to an end.
01:04:08Finally coming to an end.
01:04:11Nightmare? Oh, jeez, thanks. I was just beginning to think we were having fun.
01:04:17Oh, no, no. I didn't mean it like that. I was just—
01:04:22Sucker.
01:04:24What? You're one of those guys who can dish it, but they can't take it?
01:04:30Well, on that note, I'm gonna call it a night.
01:04:34Hey, I didn't actually really mean what I said. Just ignore me.
01:04:42I'm not sure I could do that if I tried.
01:05:04Hmm, hmm, hmm. Hmm, hmm, hmm.
01:05:10Okay, uh, good night. I'll see you in the morning.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:35Hi. Are you coming home tomorrow? We have to finish decorating the tree and didn't want to do it without you.
01:05:45Aw, I know. I'm trying, trust me. We're gonna be on a train tomorrow morning, so we should get there sometime in the afternoon, hopefully.
01:05:54And how is your boyfriend?
01:05:56He's not my boyfriend. I mean, he's not even—he's just a guy who's really great, actually.
01:06:04I thought he was kind of annoying.
01:06:07He is. Or he was. Or, I don't know. I guess I can be a little too quick to judge sometimes.
01:06:16That doesn't sound like the sister I know.
01:06:19Very funny. The more time I spend with him, the more I see the complete person.
01:06:27Oh, wait. I think someone else wants to talk to you.
01:06:31Hey, Emily. We can't wait for you to come home.
01:06:36Hi, Mom. Me too. We should get there sometime midday tomorrow.
01:06:41We? Oh, are you bringing the guy your sister says you're with?
01:06:46No, no. I didn't mean we as in we. I meant we as in we're traveling together, but we're separate.
01:06:54Oh, maybe you should bring him. Can't be any worse than all the other ones you brought home.
01:06:58Yeah, I know I haven't always chosen winners, Mom.
01:07:01Winners? Yours don't even make the podium.
01:07:05Okay. Oops. Yeah, looks like we lost the connection here. I can't hear you, Mom. Hello? Hello?
01:07:13Very funny. You know I'm kidding. I love you.
01:07:18I love you too. I'll see you tomorrow.
01:07:22Bye!
01:07:28Bye!
01:07:44Well, seeing as it's Christmas Eve, I got you a little present.
01:07:49Oh.
01:07:51Two tickets home. Can you believe it? It's been two airports, two hotels, a rental car,
01:07:59and we're still hundreds of miles from where you have to be, but I'm determined to get you home on time.
01:08:05And I was beginning to think we were never going to make it.
01:08:08Attention passengers on platform two, the inbound train is delayed and we hope to have a new departure time shortly.
01:08:18I knew it was too good to be true. And to think that last part was going to be easy.
01:08:22This is just a minor delay. It happens on the best days.
01:08:25This is just a minor delay. It happens on the best days.
01:08:51I will be right back. Stay here.
01:08:55Sir, are you okay?
01:08:56Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.
01:08:59Here's your bag.
01:09:01You know, I'll be back in one quick sec. Stay there.
01:09:09I don't know where you found him, but don't lose him.
01:09:12Oh, he's not... Thanks.
01:09:17Here, sir.
01:09:18Thank you so much.
01:09:20There.
01:09:22Some lucky kids.
01:09:23Attention please. For everyone waiting on platform two, we're sorry to inform you that your train is stuck at the previous station.
01:09:30There seems to be some sort of mechanical problem. They're working on it, but are not sure when it will be fixed.
01:09:36I don't know if I'm the bad luck or if you are.
01:09:39I'm pretty sure it's you. This literally has never happened. I mean, you're traveling alone.
01:09:42Excuse me. No, I think it's you.
01:09:54Thank you.
01:10:00Looks like your knight in shining armor status is coming back and it's rubbing off on me.
01:10:06Oh, well thank you. Holidays can be absolutely crazy, so I just figured you needed a hand, right?
01:10:12Yeah. You like helping people, huh?
01:10:15It's not like a conscious thing, just doing what anyone else in my position would do, right?
01:10:21Yeah, most people would not do what you just did.
01:10:26Guess I'm just being a good elf.
01:10:38Why don't you grab this one and grab one if you rose back.
01:10:42Okay.
01:10:44Hi.
01:10:45Hi.
01:10:48Are you two together?
01:10:49No, well, we're traveling together, but we're not together together. It's a long story.
01:10:56Well, he's pretty cute. Did you want to sit together? Because if you don't, I may.
01:11:02No, no, no, no, no. I couldn't make you move, but thank you.
01:11:08Actually, you know what? That would be really nice of you.
01:11:11You got it. Merry Christmas.
01:11:13You too.
01:11:14Thanks.
01:11:20Hello? Okay. All right, thank you.
01:11:30Excuse me, miss. Is this seat taken?
01:11:33Very funny.
01:11:35You know, it's the strangest thing, but the woman you're sitting next to just asked to switch seats with me.
01:11:39Something about you snoring. She said she wouldn't be able to put up with that for the next five hours.
01:11:44I figured since we've come this far together, we should just finish the journey together, so.
01:12:03It's been quite the adventure, hasn't it?
01:12:06It has. I know, I can't believe it's almost over.
01:12:11I mean, as much as it's been a total hassle and super, super frustrating, it's been really nice getting to know you.
01:12:19You definitely made it way more fun than it would have been otherwise.
01:12:23I don't know if you've noticed, but I can be a little type A sometimes, and I don't love situations that I don't have control over, so.
01:12:31I would have never guessed.
01:12:33Stop it.
01:12:35Well, I have to say, you know, despite our initial hiccups, you've actually been a great travel companion.
01:12:43What do you say we, you know, bring some life into this bus?
01:12:47What did you have in mind?
01:12:51On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree.
01:13:00Somebody's feeling this.
01:13:02Don't leave me hanging.
01:13:05On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
01:13:17On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three French eggs.
01:13:25Wow, we only have like an hour left.
01:13:27I went bypass.
01:13:29Yeah, and without a single mishap either. I mean, other than that moment you were slightly off key and silent, I bet.
01:13:36I was not. What about you when you just cracked at that high note?
01:13:41I literally have no idea what you're talking about. I have a voice of an angel.
01:13:47So are you excited to see your friends? Have a big boys weekend planned?
01:13:51Yeah, I'm excited. But, you know, for your own health and safety, I would avoid going anywhere in the downtown area.
01:13:59Okay, yeah.
01:14:01And how about you? Is your family picking you up from the station?
01:14:04No, I'm actually grabbing a ride share. Do you want to ride somewhere?
01:14:08Oh no, I'm good. I'll be fine.
01:14:10Are you sure? It's not a problem.
01:14:12It's honestly, it's okay. I'm sure you're probably super ready to get rid of me too.
01:14:21Work?
01:14:24Yeah, it's just something for my boss.
01:14:27Christmas Eve?
01:14:29Yeah, I think he used that as an excuse.
01:14:31Merry Christmas. Oh, and by the way, when you get a chance, could you please send me Brian's suggested headcount reductions for the client?
01:14:39Headcount reductions? What's that all about?
01:14:44I'm a management consultant. I told you that.
01:14:46I thought you said it was about strategy and efficiency though.
01:14:49It is. Yeah, we recommend everything possible to keep a company viable and in business for years.
01:14:54I mean, that is actually what creates jobs in the long run.
01:14:58What?
01:15:00Nothing.
01:15:02What just happened? Your energy just changed.
01:15:04You essentially fire people.
01:15:06No, I don't fire anyone. My boss suggests layoffs as a last resort.
01:15:12So you just shrug?
01:15:14You just shrug? Oh well, these people are your last resort.
01:15:18Of course not. I mean, I hate that it has to happen, but if we don't keep a company healthy, I mean, it can't really employ anyone, can it?
01:15:27Hey, I know it's awful, but it's not like it's personal.
01:15:32No.
01:15:34Maybe, maybe that's your problem, Emily.
01:15:37Emily, nothing is ever personal to you. I mean, what if it was somebody in your family?
01:15:44These are people's lives we're talking about.
01:15:46Simon, come on. Please, just see the bigger picture.
01:15:49I can't believe you're being so nonchalant about this.
01:15:56Simon, come on. We've had such a nice time until now.
01:16:00I mean, aside from the diverted flights and the delayed train and the flat tires.
01:16:07It's been really nice.
01:16:09I just, I really thought I saw a different side to you.
01:16:13Someone who had room in her heart for more than just her family, the people around her.
01:16:20Maybe even right in front of her.
01:16:22I know.
01:16:28Simon, I'm really sorry. Okay, for what it's worth, I think you're amazing.
01:16:35And I know I wasn't super nice to you in the beginning, but I've really grown to see what an incredible person you are.
01:16:53I love you.
01:17:07I love you too.
01:17:23So?
01:17:25So?
01:17:27I guess this is goodbye then.
01:17:30Yeah, it's been an experience.
01:17:33Yeah, I bet it has.
01:17:36Thank you, sincerely. I mean, you've been so kind and wonderful and helpful.
01:17:44I mean, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have made it home for Christmas.
01:17:48Well, you definitely made it more fun too.
01:17:51I mean, maybe not in the beginning, but you certainly grew on me.
01:17:55I grew on you?
01:17:57Yeah, I just wish I didn't learn that last bit.
01:18:03Simon, I really hope that you don't define me by my job.
01:18:08I mean, I just, I hate this note that we're leaving on.
01:18:11I was kind of starting to think that maybe...
01:18:14Well, yeah, me too. I just, I think we're different people, right?
01:18:22Yeah. Yeah, you're right.
01:18:26Well, Simon, I really hope that you know how sorry I am.
01:18:32I just, I really wish that we could just pretend that the last ten minutes didn't happen.
01:18:36That would be, that would be really nice.
01:18:44Simon, you're really special, and I'm glad I got to know you.
01:18:52Merry Christmas.
01:18:56Merry Christmas.
01:19:00Actually, do you want me to wait maybe until your friends get here?
01:19:03Actually, do you want me to wait maybe until your friends get here?
01:19:06Oh, no, no, please. You've already missed two days with your family.
01:19:09Really, I don't mind.
01:19:11Emily, just, just please go.
01:19:17Okay.
01:19:25Emily?
01:19:27I, uh, I forgot something.
01:19:29I forgot something?
01:19:35Scarf?
01:19:39Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry, I completely forgot. Here you go.
01:19:45Thanks. And, you know, once I have a moment to tally everything up, I'll send you the bill.
01:19:53Yeah, and I will make sure to send you the money as soon as you do.
01:19:57So, do you need my number?
01:20:00No, I already have it from the first day. So I guess we're, uh, I guess we're good.
01:20:08Yeah, I guess so. Okay.
01:20:28Oh.
01:20:30Oh.
01:20:55Hey.
01:20:57What happened?
01:20:59Look, I'm a consultant who sometimes has to recommend layoffs.
01:21:04Not exactly the most attractive career to someone as big-hearted as Simon.
01:21:09That's not fair.
01:21:11Yeah, well, neither is getting laid off, so.
01:21:14I actually said it's not personal. Like, I'm such a fool. Yuck.
01:21:19Any chance he might come around? Seemed like there was a real spark between the two of you, no?
01:21:25There was. Well, until...
01:21:29Did you get his number? Maybe you can call him later and smooth things over.
01:21:34Is that Emily?
01:21:36Is she on her way? Is she bringing the boy?
01:21:39Oh.
01:21:41Yeah, he is mine. You don't have to invoice me for all the money I owe him.
01:21:46Yeah, but I know you are more than your job. And I'm sure he has seen that too. So...
01:21:53What?
01:21:55So...
01:21:57What?
01:21:59Go back. Tell him how you feel.
01:22:03No. I'm just, I'm so close. I mean, finally. I've already lost out on way, way too much with you. No, Grace.
01:22:12Em, we'll still be here later.
01:22:15I was just so afraid of missing out on the most important day of your life.
01:22:21I know that you love me. And so do Mom and Dad. And so will my baby.
01:22:28But if you have feelings for Simon, you need to make sure he knows it too.
01:22:35I'm scared.
01:22:38Come on. Take a chance.
01:22:41Stop being that conservative consultant hiding behind your computer and spreadsheets.
01:22:47And show him the warm, caring person that I know you are.
01:22:53I'm not sure I can do it. No. I can't do it. I can't do it.
01:22:58Do it.
01:23:00Do it!
01:23:02Do it!
01:23:04Do it!
01:23:06Excuse me. Do you mind taking me back to the station?
01:23:10Okay.
01:23:22He's not here. He must have left.
01:23:26Stupid idea.
01:23:31Simon!
01:23:33Emily! What are you doing here? Did you forget something?
01:23:40You could say that.
01:23:42Just stay there. I'll be down in a sec.
01:23:48Simon! What are you still doing here? Where are all your friends?
01:23:55They're not coming.
01:23:56They're not coming.
01:23:59But what do you mean?
01:24:03Truth is, they all have their own families now and just kind of do their own thing.
01:24:08But you said that...
01:24:10I know. I know. I just didn't want to sound like a loser, you know?
01:24:16I was supposed to meet my friend Paul, but he was the one who had to bail to his girlfriends and I just... I am now the last man standing.
01:24:23Wait, so you were just going to spend Christmas Eve by yourself in a strange city?
01:24:28I'm just going to be alone tonight and tomorrow I'm heading to the toy drive, you know? Handing out the toys to the kids.
01:24:35And here, I thought you were just over packed, but apparently you're Santa.
01:24:40I mean on a much, much smaller scale. A few of my buddies, we pick a different city every year and we just do what we can.
01:24:46Simon, I'm really sorry for everything. I know how awful it is to lose a job and I hate that a part of my work hurts people.
01:25:01I know, and I'm really sorry too. I should have never taken that out on you. It wasn't fair.
01:25:08So, you want to come home with me for Christmas?
01:25:12That's not very nice.
01:25:14Simon. Simon, you got me home. And I mean, after everything we've been through, you're practically family.
01:25:24I just... I don't want to impose I know how much you love spending time with your family. I can't.
01:25:30Simon, seriously, okay? Christmas is about the gifts or the people.
01:25:38Christmas is about the gifts or the people in our lives, whether we've known them for 30 hours or for 30 years.
01:25:48You taught me that. I can't believe it took me this long to realize it, but you are my Christmas gift this year.
01:26:08Are you sure your parents aren't going to find some strange boy coming over?
01:26:18I'm sure. Trust me, you are a huge step up from all the other boyfriends that I bring home every year.
01:26:25Is that so? Well, I guess in this scenario, would that make me your, you know, your boyfriend?
01:26:41Um, yeah. Just don't believe any of the stories they tell you. They're all lies.
01:26:55You got this.
01:27:00Welcome. Hi.
01:27:04Welcome. Come in. You must be the famous Simon. Oh, I'm famous, am I?
01:27:13I may have mentioned you during the course of our misadventures. Mr. Nichols.
01:27:17Simon, welcome. Nice to meet you.
01:27:19You look beautiful. You made it.
01:27:29Oh, he's much more handsome than the picture you sent Grace.
01:27:33Okay, Mom, if you could just…
01:27:35What?
01:27:39Welcome.
01:27:41You took a picture of me? I hope you got my good side.
01:27:44Yeah, I did, actually.
01:27:45That was delicious. Thank you again.
01:27:49I'm so thankful to have my family all at home at the same time.
01:27:54Hear, hear. And I'm thankful for this delicious dinner.
01:27:58I'm so thankful for my loving husband.
01:28:01And we're both thankful for the baby who will be in our lives any day now.
01:28:06And I'm thankful for Simon because he got me home to see all of you.
01:28:15Simon, how about you?
01:28:18Oh, no, I thought this was like a, you know, family only thing.
01:28:22If you're here, you're family.
01:28:24Well, in that case, I just want to say to everyone, thank you incredibly, you know, for letting me into your beautiful home.
01:28:33And having your delicious food and getting to spend the holidays with you guys.
01:28:38So this truly does mean a lot to me and I just feel very blessed.
01:28:44So, thank you.
01:28:46Thank you.
01:28:47This truly does mean a lot to me and I just feel very blessed.
01:28:52So, thank you.
01:28:54Cheers.
01:28:56Cheers.
01:28:58Merry Christmas.
01:29:00Cheers, Mom.
01:29:02Cheers.
01:29:04Well, since I am part of the family now and I certainly did not help an inch with dinner, I shall clean up for you guys.
01:29:13So, that's the least I can do.
01:29:15I like him more and more.
01:29:38Merry Christmas, Simon.
01:29:40Merry Christmas, Emily.
01:29:44Merry Christmas.
01:30:14It's Christmas magic with you under the mistletoe.
01:30:23Maybe I'm dreaming but I hear the sleigh bells ringing.
01:30:29It's Christmas magic and I never want to let it go.
01:30:36Now we can put the past behind us and let Christmas magic carry us away.
01:30:50Christmas magic.
01:30:52Carry us away.
01:30:54Christmas magic.
01:30:56Carry us away.
01:30:58Christmas magic.
01:31:00Carry us away.
01:31:02Christmas magic.
01:31:04Carry us away.
