00:00:30This program is rated G and is suitable for general audiences.
00:01:00There you go, little buddy.
00:01:07What time's the flight?
00:01:11It's tomorrow.
00:01:12Early.
00:01:13Em, I feel like you've been living out of this suitcase for like a year.
00:01:17Don't you want to just stop?
00:01:18Yeah, well, this is me stopping.
00:01:19I'm stopping in Honolulu and then I'm going 40 minutes to Kauai and I'm going to do nothing but relax.
00:01:24Well, at least pack something cute.
00:01:26You might meet someone.
00:01:27Babe, unless it's a date wrapped in bacon, I'm not interested.
00:01:31It's a relaxation retreat.
00:01:33Morning, Matt.
00:01:34Are you at work already?
00:01:35It's almost 9 o'clock.
00:01:38What?
00:01:40Ugh, I'm late again.
00:01:42I need you to cover for me.
00:01:44And say what?
00:01:45I don't know, just anything.
00:01:46Anything that's better than last time.
00:01:48Uh, people do get their arms caught in vending machines.
00:01:51It's a thing.
00:01:52It's not a thing!
00:01:55See you.
00:01:58Morning, I'm sorry.
00:02:00Oh, God bless you.
00:02:01Morning.
00:02:02Mood?
00:02:03Uh, I don't know.
00:02:06But, he's doing that weird clicking thing with his tongue.
00:02:11Emily, we need to chat.
00:02:15Daryl, I'm supposed to be nursing a sunburn in Hawaii this time tomorrow.
00:02:19Why me?
00:02:20Because you're the best creative director on the floor and I need a miracle here.
00:02:23You're my wounded kind.
00:02:24My Don Draper.
00:02:26Don Draper's one of the most tragic fictional characters in television history.
00:02:29But he had a thing.
00:02:30You have a thing.
00:02:31I need you to do that thing.
00:02:32What thing?
00:02:33That thing where you take a nothing and turn it into a something.
00:02:36A shiny, gold-plated something.
00:02:38Jerry Bell, because he knew his concept was a brick.
00:02:40Look at these.
00:02:41They're awful.
00:02:42Why does he work here?
00:02:43I need you to take that brick and turn it into a wall.
00:02:45No.
00:02:46A fortress.
00:02:47A gold-plated fortress.
00:02:50And I know you know what I mean.
00:02:51No.
00:02:53I know you know what it is.
00:02:54You also know that Jerry's halfway out the door and when he goes,
00:02:57that big, cushy office of his will be up for grabs.
00:03:02I like big.
00:03:03I like cushy.
00:03:04Plus the international stuff.
00:03:05First class.
00:03:06Economy plus.
00:03:08Unlimited peanuts.
00:03:10We've got projects coming in from Toronto, London.
00:03:12A big one in the Caymans.
00:03:14You spend the next five days in Fulton spending this straw into gold,
00:03:18I'll make sure your name goes to the top of the list.
00:03:20I'm sorry.
00:03:21Did you say Fulton?
00:03:22Christmas capital of Illinois.
00:03:23Oh, no.
00:03:24No, Daryl.
00:03:25Anywhere but there.
00:03:26I cannot go to Fulton, Illinois.
00:03:27Can you hear that?
00:03:28Is that the sound of a big, cushy corner office?
00:03:31Station!
00:03:40Super.
00:03:41Mahalo.
00:03:42No, no, Ma.
00:03:43Train departure is at 2.20.
00:03:45The train arrives at 4.40, which means you want to be at the station.
00:03:49You're not writing any of this down, are you?
00:03:52Just relax, okay?
00:03:53You still haven't confirmed whether or not Emily is going to be joining us.
00:03:56Look, uh, Ma.
00:04:00We're playing that one by ear.
00:04:02So, uh, you know, lots on her plate.
00:04:04Well, she's never been here for a Christmas before.
00:04:07And not for nothing, but I think this new series I'm working on would look super cute.
00:04:12Yeah, Ma, that's great.
00:04:13I gotta go.
00:04:14I really do.
00:04:15Okay.
00:04:16But before you go, you're not going to believe what I found the other day of stringing things.
00:04:20Do you remember those little clay paint pots I brought back from my trip to Bloomington for Geraldine's retirement party?
00:04:26I kept saying how much I wished I had bought more of them.
00:04:29Well, the other day I popped into the store to pick up some.
00:04:32Matt?
00:04:33Yeah?
00:04:34Well, what about Hawaii?
00:04:35Wait, wait, wait.
00:04:38Hawaii is on hold.
00:04:39Uh, instead I'm going to spend the next five days in balmy Fulton.
00:04:43Fulton.
00:04:44Isn't that where Jamie's from?
00:04:45Exactly.
00:04:46Where you can't swing a candy cane without hitting a member of his family.
00:04:49Fun.
00:04:50Not to mention, this project needs more work than the Coliseum.
00:04:52Look at this.
00:04:55Jerry.
00:04:56Jerry.
00:04:58So, sayonara to sun, sand, and anything resembling relaxation.
00:05:03I'm sorry, Jenna.
00:05:04Good day, everyone.
00:05:05I know that we are all eager to, uh, screw off for the holidays.
00:05:09But I'll keep this one short.
00:05:16Shhh.
00:05:22You good?
00:05:23I'm good.
00:05:24I'm good, thank you.
00:05:25I'm sorry.
00:05:27Poll numbers are down.
00:05:29Again.
00:05:30Apparently I am too corporate.
00:05:32Too policy focused.
00:05:33Not relatable enough.
00:05:35Gina, where are we with the Christmas Day address?
00:05:37Right on track.
00:05:38I'm still locking down a location, but Martin's been working on the speech.
00:05:41Right.
00:05:42And it reads like a thesis paper on tax reform.
00:05:44Come on, people.
00:05:45This is supposed to get me re-elected.
00:05:47Don't we have anyone who's clever?
00:05:50Funny.
00:05:52Human.
00:05:54Uh, yeah.
00:05:55Jamie can write it.
00:05:59This guy is on the writing team?
00:06:00I'm on the, uh, I'm on the Gina team.
00:06:03I hired him last month.
00:06:04He's been writing copy for your mail outs.
00:06:06That one you talked about with the new state smoking bylaws?
00:06:08No ifs, ands, or buts.
00:06:12About it.
00:06:14Jamie.
00:06:19I need heartwarming, inspiring, relatable.
00:06:24My re-election depends on it.
00:06:26So please, don't let me down.
00:06:29Yes, ma'am.
00:06:30Thank you, everyone.
00:06:32Thank you, Governor.
00:06:34No ifs, ands, or buts.
00:06:36Hey, Gina.
00:06:38What just happened?
00:06:39That sounds like a pretty important campaign shoot, you know?
00:06:41Why do you think I hired you?
00:06:43Pity. I answered too quickly, didn't I?
00:06:45I'm serious. You're here because you can write.
00:06:47Friend or not, I wouldn't have hired you if you couldn't.
00:06:50I don't think the Schmidt campaign would agree with that.
00:06:52Steve Schmidt couldn't get elected if the only person voting was his mother.
00:06:55That had nothing to do with your writing.
00:06:57Okay.
00:06:58Why did you get into politics?
00:07:00To effect change.
00:07:02To inspire, to make a difference.
00:07:04Exactly. And I think you just got your shot.
00:07:07Gee, gee.
00:07:09If I blow this,
00:07:11I'm not going to be able to get a job writing parking tickets.
00:07:13So don't.
00:07:14You'll have lots of time to think about it on the train.
00:07:24Okay.
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:44Look who the cat dragged in.
00:07:46Oh, thank goodness, Becca.
00:07:47I thought for sure Mom got the time note.
00:07:49She did.
00:07:50She wrote down seven.
00:07:51But this is the last train today.
00:07:52So, obviously.
00:07:53Emily!
00:07:54You came!
00:07:56Jamie was being so dodgy.
00:07:57I thought for sure maybe you guys were broken up or something.
00:07:59He just hadn't told anyone.
00:08:01This is amazing!
00:08:02I'm going to take this. Here.
00:08:03Alright. Dad's double parked. Let's go.
00:08:05No, I'm not...
00:08:06Em? What are you doing here?
00:08:08Working.
00:08:09Uh, hey.
00:08:10Just now your sister said she thought we broke up and you didn't tell anyone.
00:08:13Which feels like we broke up and you didn't tell anyone.
00:08:16Yeah, I noticed that too. It's weird.
00:08:18Are you kidding me with this?
00:08:19Guess who's here?
00:08:21Oh, there they are. Huh?
00:08:23Merry Christmas.
00:08:24Hi, Mom.
00:08:26We weren't sure if you were coming.
00:08:27Here, let me grab those.
00:08:28Oh, no, no, no.
00:08:29Oh, that's no problem.
00:08:30Hey, we've got to hurry though.
00:08:31They weren't joking about those tickets around here.
00:08:32Your mom's going to be thrilled.
00:08:33I'm going to explain everything, I promise.
00:08:35Just give me...
00:08:36Okay.
00:08:42I've got the decorations for your tasteful this year, Pop.
00:08:44Oh, I'm not done yet. I was waiting for you.
00:08:46I've got a few more surprises up my sleeve.
00:08:48Okay. Good.
00:08:56Okay, whatever this is.
00:08:58Room!
00:08:59And you're not going to believe who's here.
00:09:01And you're not going to believe who's here.
00:09:03I see Emily!
00:09:04Oh, my gosh, honey.
00:09:05Who are you?
00:09:06Oh, my, you got so big.
00:09:07Come here, come here.
00:09:08You remember?
00:09:09Little bitch.
00:09:10Ah, so close.
00:09:11All right, all right.
00:09:12I'm also here.
00:09:13Can you have a candy cane?
00:09:14Just one this time.
00:09:15Of course.
00:09:16Oh, wow.
00:09:17Extra small for you, buddy.
00:09:19You can have a little bit.
00:09:20Like two licks, okay?
00:09:21Two licks.
00:09:22Come on, Mom.
00:09:23Come on, Mom.
00:09:24Is that paint?
00:09:25All right, all right.
00:09:26Oh, so happy.
00:09:27Hi, Diane.
00:09:28Yes, I'm here, but...
00:09:29I knew something was up with you two.
00:09:30Oh, my goodness.
00:09:31I could feel it.
00:09:32You wanted this to be a surprise.
00:09:34Big surprise.
00:09:35Well, it is possibly the best gift I have ever had.
00:09:38Oh, come on.
00:09:39Get settled.
00:09:40We're about to do the tree.
00:09:41Oh, I love trees.
00:09:42Mom, no, you don't have to do that.
00:09:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:09:44Dad, Dad, you don't...
00:09:46I'm not staying.
00:09:49What?
00:09:50What?
00:09:51I'm...
00:09:52I'm not...
00:09:54staying for the tree decorating.
00:09:56I can't stay because I have a meeting.
00:09:59I have...
00:10:00I was saddled with a last-minute project before we left,
00:10:04and I just need to go to a meeting in town.
00:10:07On a Saturday?
00:10:08With who, the Pentagon?
00:10:09Well, Tom's been baking all day long.
00:10:12Um, can you stay and have a quick nibble?
00:10:14Mom, maybe she doesn't want to have all this...
00:10:15Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah.
00:10:16Yeah, of course.
00:10:17Sure, maybe I can stay for just a few minutes.
00:10:19I'm gonna go see if Grandma's awake,
00:10:21because she is gonna be tickled to see you, right?
00:10:24I guess we're doing this now.
00:10:26Come on in.
00:10:30That's a big tree, Dad.
00:10:32Yeah, isn't she a beauty?
00:10:34Just got her today.
00:10:35I think you need a little more ceiling.
00:10:37Aren't we supposed to let the branches settle
00:10:39before we decorate for balance?
00:10:41I figured I'd just load her up and let gravity take the wheel.
00:10:44Okay, who's ready for cookies?
00:10:46I'll take one.
00:10:47I'll take one.
00:10:48I'll get one in a minute, hon.
00:10:49Thank you, thank you.
00:10:53Jamie, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second, please?
00:10:56Yeah, sure.
00:10:57We can do that.
00:10:58Excuse us.
00:11:00Oh, wow, sugar.
00:11:01That's definitely three cavities at least.
00:11:03Cool, cool, cool.
00:11:04Any chance you might explain to me
00:11:06why your family has no idea that...
00:11:07Plates!
00:11:10I forgot the plates.
00:11:12We're not together anymore.
00:11:14Yeah, that, um...
00:11:16If I had to guess, and I'm just...
00:11:18I'm spitballing.
00:11:19Yeah, just spitball.
00:11:20Okay, yeah, I think it's because I haven't told them.
00:11:22Yeah, I did the math on that.
00:11:24Yeah?
00:11:25When were you planning to tell them?
00:11:27Hot chocolate.
00:11:29Yes.
00:11:30Now, would you be a dear Emily and bring that craft along?
00:11:32Sure.
00:11:41On your mark, get set, go.
00:11:43Ah, go!
00:11:44Atta boy.
00:11:46Okay, do you want to put that, uh, take it over there?
00:11:48Hey, honey, tell them about your artwork and whatnot.
00:11:50I'm painting a whole series of cats.
00:11:52My little Michelle Angela.
00:11:54And she also makes Scotty's costume for the play.
00:11:56Isn't that right, kiddo?
00:11:57I'm a Christmas tree.
00:11:58Mom's directing.
00:11:59That's nice.
00:12:00Wow, good job.
00:12:01Yeah, until they figure out I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:12:03Oh, yes, you do, and it's going to be spectacular.
00:12:06Em, I want to hear more about this, this job you're working on.
00:12:09Oh, yeah, uh, well, it's kind of exciting.
00:12:11It's the Fulton City Planning Commission.
00:12:13They want to attract new residents,
00:12:15so they're starting with a whole multi-seasonal marketing campaign
00:12:17starting with Christmas, and we launch Christmas Day.
00:12:20Sounds like a big job.
00:12:21It is, yeah.
00:12:22It's a promo reel featuring the city.
00:12:24It's print ads, social, and I'm in charge of creative.
00:12:28The really cool news is Jackie Joyner-Kersee is our spokesperson.
00:12:31What?
00:12:32Hooray!
00:12:33Oh, wow.
00:12:35What, you didn't know?
00:12:37Well, I told him on the train.
00:12:39Remember, I told you on the train?
00:12:41Because my camera crew is coming with her tomorrow.
00:12:44Yep.
00:12:45Yeah.
00:12:46I remember that.
00:12:47Uh, I thought you said Jackie Joyner-Percy.
00:12:52I was like, what?
00:12:54The lady from the fluff and fold in Clark?
00:12:56That doesn't make any sense.
00:12:58Three-time Olympic gold medalist.
00:12:59That makes a whole lot more sense.
00:13:01Bzzz!
00:13:03Time's up, kiddo.
00:13:04What's my time?
00:13:05How'd he do?
00:13:06A minute 18.
00:13:07Oh, that's good, right?
00:13:09That's good.
00:13:10Well, anyway, hopefully it's not all work, work, work for you
00:13:12because it can get pretty magical around here at Christmastime.
00:13:15It does.
00:13:16Yeah, right?
00:13:17It certainly does.
00:13:18Yes, and, well, you know, it might inspire some talk of the future.
00:13:21Mom!
00:13:22What?
00:13:23No, no, gee, no time like the present to talk about the future.
00:13:27Especially if these guys are planning to have babies.
00:13:29Oh, my gosh.
00:13:30Whoa.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:32Whoa.
00:13:33I'm sorry.
00:13:34I've got to go.
00:13:35I'm so sorry.
00:13:36Thank you so much.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:38Jamie!
00:13:39Don't worry.
00:13:40I'll tell him.
00:13:41Yeah, you will because I'm not spending the next five nights
00:13:43in some janky pullout in your parents' basement
00:13:45because you didn't have the guts to tell him you dumped me.
00:13:47Could you be talking to four?
00:13:49Too soon.
00:13:50That's too soon.
00:13:51I'm sorry.
00:13:52Two and a half months, Jamie.
00:13:53That's a really long time to be lying to your family.
00:13:55I don't even know what that is.
00:13:56Look, I wanted to tell them, okay?
00:13:57Granddad had passed.
00:13:59I knew they would be upset.
00:14:01I just wanted Christmas to be easy on everyone.
00:14:07Had I known, you'd be at the train station.
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:10I get it.
00:14:14Please just tell them tonight, okay?
00:14:21All right.
00:14:25Thank you for the lift.
00:14:26It's the least I could do.
00:14:28Well, as if the least I could do would be absolutely nothing.
00:14:30I feel like I haven't done that.
00:14:33So it's the least I should do.
00:14:38Good luck with the campaign.
00:14:40Yeah.
00:14:41Good luck with, um, all of it.
00:14:45Merry Christmas.
00:14:46You too.
00:15:01We're not apart.
00:15:02We're just not, um, together.
00:15:06Guys, we just have very different taste in movies.
00:15:11It turns out that she is in the witness protection program and needed to relocate.
00:15:24But the truth is, her career was taking off.
00:15:28Well, mine was in a tailspin, and, uh, I was afraid that I wouldn't be enough.
00:15:40Hello?
00:15:42How far did you get?
00:15:47Not as far as you would think.
00:15:49The reservation was originally booked under Jerry's name,
00:15:51and of course only the person who books the reservation can change the reservation,
00:15:54but nobody's at the office this weekend so I can't call them,
00:15:56and my phone died, which is why I called you on a landline,
00:15:58so I can't even look for another place tonight.
00:16:00So that's what's going on, and here we are.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:04So, Jackie, pull out on the couch, downstairs in the basement?
00:16:08Yeah.
00:16:09Just for the night, please.
00:16:11Oh, hey, um, Em,
00:16:13you still want me to come clean about the whole you and me thing?
00:16:16And be standing on the tracks when that train comes rolling through?
00:16:19No chance.
00:16:20You've lasted this long.
00:16:21What's one more night?
00:16:24I'm good with that.
00:16:30Welcome to the 23rd Annual Dunsmore Family Secret Santanendra!
00:16:41Love it.
00:16:42Okay, everyone's here except for Grandma.
00:16:44Grandma!
00:16:45She's awake!
00:16:46Look at you.
00:16:47You look beautiful.
00:16:48Yeah, I'm 85 and feeling twice that.
00:16:50Oh, look at you.
00:16:51Hi, Estelle.
00:16:52Great to see you.
00:16:53How long has it been since...
00:16:54George's funeral.
00:16:55That's okay.
00:16:56We're not gonna stand here and feel sorry for each other, are we?
00:16:59For ourselves, we're gonna have a draw.
00:17:01You're absolutely right.
00:17:04Grandma.
00:17:05No, oh, guest of honor.
00:17:06Oh, good point.
00:17:07Oh, no, no, I'm not.
00:17:09I'll sit this one out.
00:17:10Wrong answer.
00:17:11No one sits out.
00:17:12Come on.
00:17:13Get in there.
00:17:14Get that paw in there.
00:17:15Okay, get in there.
00:17:16Come on.
00:17:17Come on.
00:17:18Yay!
00:17:20Yay!
00:17:22Hide it, hide it, hide it.
00:17:23Yeah.
00:17:24Top secret.
00:17:25Scotty.
00:17:26Now we're having a party.
00:17:28Thank you for surrendering your room to me.
00:17:31Yeah, I'll be fine in the playroom.
00:17:33It's like a toy store threw up down there.
00:17:35It's all your loss, really.
00:17:39Wow, I forgot what a party pad this place is.
00:17:41Yeah.
00:17:42No, it was very cool.
00:17:44I also placed fourth in a croquet championship, so there's also that.
00:17:48I stand corrected.
00:17:50Okay, so there are extra blankets in the drawers,
00:17:55and there's copies of the New York run of the mattress if you need help falling asleep.
00:17:59Be up early tomorrow.
00:18:00I don't want to field questions from your family without you.
00:18:02Of course.
00:18:06Good night.
00:18:07Good night.
00:18:21No.
00:18:22No.
00:18:23I got it.
00:18:26Not now.
00:18:31That's great.
00:18:50Ah.
00:19:21Hey, there she is.
00:19:23Aren't those flannel sheets something?
00:19:25Wow, they really are.
00:19:26Yeah.
00:19:27Thank you so much.
00:19:28So, how's Jamie?
00:19:30Is he up?
00:19:31He's up yet?
00:19:32I haven't seen him, but breakfast is ready if you're hungry.
00:19:34We still do a buffet style on Sundays, so get in there before the troops arrive.
00:19:37Thanks.
00:19:38I'm just going to go check and see.
00:19:40You're welcome.
00:19:41I'm hungry.
00:19:42I can make you a plate.
00:19:43No, no, I'm not really hungry.
00:19:44No chocolate at all.
00:19:45I'm going to give you a little bit of everything.
00:19:46There you go.
00:19:47You're such a good cook.
00:19:49Jamie's still sleeping?
00:19:50Sounds like somebody's running a chainsaw down there.
00:19:51Oh, the poor guy.
00:19:52He's probably exhausted.
00:19:53Oh, yeah.
00:19:54Yeah, I bet he is.
00:19:55Yeah, poor guy.
00:19:56I just worry that he's hungry, so I should probably bring him some food.
00:19:57Auntie Emily.
00:19:58Oh, there's tons of food.
00:19:59What is it?
00:20:00A superhero I invented?
00:20:01Yes, I do.
00:20:02I do.
00:20:03Oh, something is burning.
00:20:04Emily, can you crack that window for me, hon?
00:20:05No, and the door.
00:20:06Oh, and the door, too.
00:20:07Okay, okay.
00:20:08Hey, did you want coffee?
00:20:09I can make some more coffee if you want.
00:20:10I'll take some coffee.
00:20:11His name is Christmas Man.
00:20:12Oh, Christmas Man Superboy.
00:20:13Right, I sit next to him.
00:20:15Oh, no.
00:20:16Looks like gravity took the wheel.
00:20:17So you've been pretty busy with work these days, huh?
00:20:18Are you still traveling a fair bit?
00:20:19Yeah, I am.
00:20:20And in fact, I just am up for a big promotion.
00:20:21And if I get it, boy, I'll be in the big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big,
00:20:27big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big,
00:20:38big, big, big, big, big, big, big.
00:20:41I'm up for a big promotion, and if I get it,
00:20:43boy, if I think I'm busy now, better buckle up.
00:20:46Well, it's a wonder you have any time for yourself.
00:20:49So that diving trip you went on sounded like a hoot?
00:20:50Oh, yeah. Diving trip. Not me.
00:20:52What? Wait, no, you went on that trip with your girlfriends.
00:20:55Yeah, that's why you didn't go to Becca's birthday.
00:20:58Oh, that diving trip. Okay.
00:21:00Right. That was so fun.
00:21:02Why'd you go on a diving trip if you don't even dive?
00:21:05Well, um, my friends were diving,
00:21:07but I dove into the margaritas.
00:21:11I will. Good one.
00:21:13What was the name of that resort?
00:21:15I'm going to go wake up our little sleepyhead,
00:21:16see if he can jog my memory.
00:21:18Yeah, well, let him know we're going to be in the yard soon.
00:21:20Yeah. Meet him up here.
00:21:25Oh, what are you doing? What is that?
00:21:26Guess what? It's almost 12.
00:21:28What? It's almost 12.
00:21:29No, it's not. Yes, it is. Look at that.
00:21:30Look what I found. Oh.
00:21:32Oh. What have you been doing?
00:21:34What have I been doing? Gosh, it's just been like a fam jam bonanza.
00:21:37It's been so fun. I was drawing with Scotty.
00:21:39I've been dancing, Jamie. I've been dancing.
00:21:41A dirty, deceitful little jig.
00:21:42And then your parents just brought up my recent scuba diving trip,
00:21:45which is try as I might, I just couldn't remember a single thing about it.
00:21:47Isn't that fun? Uh, it does sound pretty fun.
00:21:49Yeah, it's so fun. What else have you been telling them about us, Jamie?
00:21:52Um. Um, um, I don't want to know.
00:21:54All I want you to do is get up, get dressed,
00:21:56go upstairs into the yard, and then take me to my hotel
00:21:58because my camera crew arrives in two hours, okay?
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:10There he is.
00:22:11Hey, how'd you sleep? Because you're looking a little achy.
00:22:14Oh, good, yeah.
00:22:15I think that mattress is stuffed with broken car parts.
00:22:17What's all this? We're going big this year, pal.
00:22:20Got to keep up with the Joneses.
00:22:21Did the Joneses know that you're keeping up with them?
00:22:23Oh, they will. Yes, baby.
00:22:25Why can't we put this on the roof?
00:22:27Oh, no, buddy. Not since the incident. Come on.
00:22:29Oh. Oh, yeah. It's the incident. It's the incident.
00:22:32Oh, you got to tell her about the incident.
00:22:34No, no, Dad. Come on. Come on. Yeah, you got to tell her.
00:22:36You want to hear this grandpa story? Yeah, sure.
00:22:38It's Christmas morning a few years back.
00:22:40When up on the roof, there arose such a clatter,
00:22:43but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
00:22:46plummeting past the window.
00:22:47Off of the roof, absolutely. No, onto the ground.
00:22:49And Rebecca just starts laughing.
00:22:51It's in the reflex. I know, and then we all start laughing,
00:22:54and we can't help the man. He's stuck up there.
00:22:56Oh, my God, and he's, like, screaming like a banshee.
00:22:58Get me down!
00:23:00Here comes the firetrucks. Whoo-hoo!
00:23:03He was so embarrassed he didn't talk to any of us for a week.
00:23:05Was he okay? No, he was fine.
00:23:07He just wanted a bite in Rudolph's nose with some paint,
00:23:10and he slipped.
00:23:12Yeah, he was a legend.
00:23:17That guy really loved Christmas.
00:23:19Well, how about this? In honor of Granddad.
00:23:22Come on, gather around.
00:23:28Shall we do a countdown? Yeah.
00:23:30Sure, let's do it. All right. Ready?
00:23:32Yeah.
00:23:35Three, two, one.
00:23:46Oh, that's my phone. Sorry.
00:23:51Oh, hi.
00:23:53Hi, Jackie. We finally meet.
00:23:55Emily, hi.
00:23:57I'm afraid I have some bad news.
00:23:59What? No.
00:24:01Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
00:24:03Oh. It's a massive snowstorm.
00:24:05Can you...
00:24:07And the airport is closed.
00:24:09There's no other...
00:24:11I'm so sorry.
00:24:13I'm sorry, too.
00:24:15But I really appreciate your willingness to do this.
00:24:19And thank you so much for trying.
00:24:21Let's connect phone.
00:24:23Okay. Best of luck.
00:24:25We'll talk soon, I'm sure.
00:24:27Okay. Bye. Bye, Emily.
00:24:33Ah!
00:24:43Apparently my...
00:24:45My team and Miss Joyner-Kersee
00:24:47won't be joining me today
00:24:49because everything on the eastern seaboard
00:24:51in the air is canceled because of weather.
00:24:53And neither will I be able to film
00:24:55the lighting of the Christmas tree
00:24:57because of that,
00:24:59which is specifically requested for my client.
00:25:01So, uh, you know,
00:25:03if anybody wants to find me,
00:25:05I'm gonna be hitchhiking across Mexico
00:25:07living out the rest of my sad, jobless life.
00:25:25That's it.
00:25:27I'm just gonna have to tell him it's over.
00:25:29Just do it yourself.
00:25:31Come on, like you used to in the old days.
00:25:33You got a camera?
00:25:35You film. My sister can, uh, shoot.
00:25:37Shoot what? If I don't have a spokesperson,
00:25:39I don't have a campaign.
00:25:41Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:25:43Come back, come back. Sit down, sit down.
00:25:45Hear me out, hear me out.
00:25:47Uh, have a seat.
00:25:49What if
00:25:51I got the, uh...
00:25:53the governor
00:25:55for your campaign?
00:25:57The governor of Illinois?
00:25:59Yep. Yeah.
00:26:01How are you gonna get the governor of Illinois?
00:26:03Hey, Gov, it's J-Mo.
00:26:05Uh, we got anything cooking Christmas Day?
00:26:07Okay, maybe not quite like that,
00:26:09but, uh, yeah, I work with her now.
00:26:11Right.
00:26:15Oh.
00:26:17Really?
00:26:19What are you, speech writing?
00:26:21Yeah.
00:26:23As a matter of fact, I am doing
00:26:25a dress.
00:26:27Congratulations. I'm really happy for you.
00:26:31Okay, so,
00:26:33let me see.
00:26:35What's the catch?
00:26:37What's the catch? Come on.
00:26:39There's no catch.
00:26:41Okay, small catch.
00:26:43You stay here
00:26:45with us for a week.
00:26:47We'll just, you know, play along
00:26:49with the current appearances of things
00:26:51just so that my family
00:26:53is trauma-free, please.
00:26:55Do you understand what a terrible
00:26:57idea that is?
00:26:59Yes.
00:27:01And you still want to do it?
00:27:03Yes.
00:27:05You really think you can get the governor?
00:27:07Oh, yeah. In a heartbeat.
00:27:09She loves me.
00:27:17All right.
00:27:19You got a deal.
00:27:23Sweetie.
00:27:25Wonderful.
00:27:27Dear?
00:27:29All right. Let's go see my sister
00:27:31about dusting off her camera.
00:27:37These are fully necessary?
00:27:39Tradition. For Grandpa.
00:27:41You guys ready? Yeah.
00:27:43All right. Squeeze in.
00:27:45Ready? And peppermints!
00:27:47Peppermints!
00:27:49Five.
00:27:51Four. Three.
00:27:53Two. One.
00:28:01All right. Well, we got that.
00:28:03What's next? I'm thinking funnel cake.
00:28:05Funnel cake!
00:28:07Love the funnel cake.
00:28:09All right. I think we can take this vest off now.
00:28:11Go ahead. Take your shots.
00:28:13All right.
00:28:17Karaoke starts now!
00:28:19Hey, everyone!
00:28:21We have our first volunteers!
00:28:23All right, Dunsmores, let's do this.
00:28:25We gotta go.
00:28:27Come on, you guys.
00:28:29No, I'm just here to record.
00:28:31I'm here to watch her record.
00:28:33You know what? Can you take pictures?
00:28:35Yeah. Let's do this.
00:28:37Nice try, buzzkill.
00:28:39Hey, Dunsmores! Get up here!
00:28:41Lean your ear this way
00:28:43Don't you tell a single soul
00:28:45What I'm going to say
00:28:47Hey!
00:28:49Christmas Eve is coming soon
00:28:51Now you hear old man
00:28:53Whisper what you'll bring to me
00:28:55Tell me if you can
00:28:57When the clock is striking twelve
00:28:59When I'm fast asleep
00:29:01Down the chimney broad and black
00:29:03With your pack you'll creep
00:29:05All the stockings you will see
00:29:07Hanging in a rack
00:29:09All the stockings you will see
00:29:11Hanging in a row
00:29:13Mine will be the shortest one
00:29:15You'll be sure to know
00:29:17Whoo!
00:29:23So did you get all the shots you need?
00:29:25Yeah, I did.
00:29:27You know, your sister is really good.
00:29:29She should be doing this professionally.
00:29:31Yeah. I mean, I think that was the idea, you know?
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:35But the best laid plans...
00:29:37It's too early to tell,
00:29:39but I think
00:29:41Gran's got a real bright future
00:29:43as a rock star.
00:29:45Hey, don't shortchange yourself there, Elvis.
00:29:47No. Get out of here.
00:29:49I wasn't even singing.
00:29:51Yeah, but you had presents.
00:29:53No. Really?
00:29:55No. You looked like you wanted the stage to swallow you alive.
00:29:57Of course not.
00:29:59You had the same look on your face as you did the night we met
00:30:01at Susie's Broadway karaoke night.
00:30:03Oh, no. What was I doing there?
00:30:05I talked to no one.
00:30:07You talked to me.
00:30:09Yeah. That's where the exit was.
00:30:11Please. I remember the dress I was wearing that night.
00:30:13Yeah. I remember that, too.
00:30:15You were so sweet.
00:30:17Giving me your sweater,
00:30:19getting me a cab,
00:30:21getting my number.
00:30:23It was a cashmere sweater.
00:30:25I had to make sure I got it back.
00:30:29Well, you better make it good.
00:30:31Yes. We're at seven years bad luck.
00:30:33Come on.
00:30:37Oh!
00:30:39That's a good one.
00:30:43Uncle Jamie, come watch me play candy cane toss.
00:30:45Yeah.
00:31:03All right.
00:31:05So, you're gonna go right here.
00:31:07Where? Sorry.
00:31:09Okay.
00:31:11Hey. We're solid, right?
00:31:13This governor thing is happening.
00:31:15Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:31:17A hundred percent.
00:31:19Okay. Thank you.
00:31:21Good luck.
00:31:33Talk.
00:31:35Come on, Gina.
00:31:37I need you to come through here.
00:31:41The governor was on a tear today.
00:31:43How's the speech? Where are we at?
00:31:45Good. Good. Yeah.
00:31:47I mean, Rome wasn't built in a day.
00:31:49She's on me. This needs to make an impact.
00:31:51Did you pitch my idea
00:31:53about doing the speech here?
00:31:55She could shake some hands, kiss some babies,
00:31:57slide down the hill in a homemade toboggan.
00:31:59Doesn't get more relatable than that, Gina.
00:32:01We're traveling on Christmas morning.
00:32:03It's a tough sell.
00:32:05I hear you.
00:32:07But just stay on her, you know?
00:32:09Definitely just stay on her.
00:32:11Because it's a good idea,
00:32:13and I think you should just stay on her.
00:32:17What do you mean Jackie's not coming?
00:32:19Her flight was canceled due to weather,
00:32:21so there's nothing...
00:32:23But that's our whole campaign.
00:32:25Yes.
00:32:27If you can't beat her, join her.
00:32:29What are you waiting for here?
00:32:31Well, I'm just...
00:32:33I think we're gonna push the whole thing, okay?
00:32:35Thank you for your time.
00:32:37No, what if I told you that I could get you
00:32:39a big, splashy, televised Christmas Day speech
00:32:41right on your front lawn?
00:32:43From who?
00:32:45The governor of Illinois.
00:32:47Let's say you have our attention.
00:32:49Okay.
00:32:59What are you hiding?
00:33:01What?
00:33:03You're hiding something.
00:33:05What is it?
00:33:07Is it something with Emily?
00:33:09No.
00:33:11No, we're just stressed.
00:33:13Big dreams.
00:33:15Big pressure.
00:33:17Tell me about it.
00:33:19Oh, come on.
00:33:21This is great.
00:33:23You've been talking about directing one of these things for years.
00:33:25It's not exactly how I imagined using my film degree.
00:33:28It's not exactly how I imagined anything.
00:33:30How's the love life these days?
00:33:32Anybody special catching your eye?
00:33:34Well, let's see.
00:33:36I'm a single mom who works part-time at an art gallery
00:33:38and lives with my parents,
00:33:40so I'm better luck finding romance
00:33:42at the bottom of a cereal box.
00:33:44Okay, come on. It can't be that bad.
00:33:46Well, there was one.
00:33:48Really?
00:33:50Smart. Okay.
00:33:52Ambitious. Yeah?
00:33:54Funny. And?
00:33:56We fell in love.
00:33:58And then we got married.
00:34:00And I realized I wanted to adopt.
00:34:02She decided she didn't and moved to L.A.
00:34:04Permission to get real with you for a second?
00:34:06I'd prefer it if you didn't.
00:34:08Okay, here we go. Becca?
00:34:10You have so much to offer,
00:34:12and you are gonna find that person.
00:34:14Again, maybe you need to change things up a little bit.
00:34:16Why don't you come to Chicago?
00:34:18Scotty would thrive there.
00:34:20Yeah, I know, I know.
00:34:22It's just... it's big.
00:34:24Starting all over again.
00:34:26Yeah?
00:34:28As much as I complain about Mom and Dad,
00:34:30having them around, it's like it...
00:34:32just fills in the missing pieces.
00:34:34Yeah, I get that.
00:34:36Um...
00:34:40I knew it.
00:34:42I look ridiculous.
00:34:44No, buddy, come on. You look...
00:34:46You look perfect.
00:34:48Perfect?
00:34:50Is it the best costume?
00:34:52But does it matter? No.
00:34:54No.
00:34:56Because you know, and I know, and Uncle Jamie knows...
00:34:58I know.
00:35:00No matter what anybody says,
00:35:02you are extraordinary.
00:35:04Yeah, powerful.
00:35:06Powerful, yes, and unique.
00:35:08Unique, that's the word.
00:35:10I'm here.
00:35:22Hey.
00:35:28You're at his parents' place?
00:35:30Are you nuts? Are you guys...
00:35:32No. I mean, it's complicated.
00:35:34Also, hi.
00:35:36So you're not back together, but you kind of are.
00:35:38Em, you were shattered.
00:35:40I know, believe me.
00:35:42I remember, but, you know,
00:35:44I kind of don't have a choice.
00:35:46He got me the governor.
00:35:48Whoa, legit?
00:35:50I've worked this entire concept,
00:35:52and I'm just...
00:35:54Right now, I'm really not seeing it.
00:35:56Auntie Em, charades are starting.
00:35:58Okay. All right, I gotta go.
00:36:00We're gonna do Christmas charades.
00:36:02I really hope you know what you're doing.
00:36:04Jumping, excited, excited!
00:36:06Reindeer, reindeer, jumping!
00:36:08Crazy, come on!
00:36:10Grandma, grandma, grandma!
00:36:12Run over by a reindeer!
00:36:14You got the best!
00:36:16She's pointing at you, right?
00:36:18She's got to be rude.
00:36:20It's okay.
00:36:22Go!
00:36:24First word. Sorry.
00:36:26She's really sad.
00:36:28Sad monkey.
00:36:30Oh, it's a sad song you're talking about.
00:36:32Too many drinks? Drink too much?
00:36:34Second word, second word, second word.
00:36:36She looks like she's leaving.
00:36:38One might say she had too many drinks.
00:36:40Say too many drinks one more time, please.
00:36:42Three!
00:36:44It's sad face plus lula!
00:36:46You look like you're coming home from the bar.
00:36:48Lula Hawaii! I'm supposed to be there in like three days.
00:36:50You know this!
00:36:52What? Did you... what did you just say?
00:36:54You just said you're going to Hawaii.
00:36:56On Christmas Day?
00:36:58No, I'm not, because I'm staying.
00:37:00I'm here, so I'm not.
00:37:02It was a gift for me.
00:37:04You weren't gonna go?
00:37:06No. No, no. I don't like...
00:37:08Fun? Or anything resembling it?
00:37:10Yeah, that.
00:37:12Why would we?
00:37:14Would we go lay on the beach?
00:37:16I mean, why would anybody do that on Christmas?
00:37:18Silly. That's so silly.
00:37:20When you could be...
00:37:22Here. Yeah. Family.
00:37:24We're glad you stayed.
00:37:26I need to refill anybody else,
00:37:28and then I think we should do another round.
00:37:30Can you make something?
00:37:32Winner takes the crown. Winner takes the crown.
00:37:34Oh, I hope you have a pencil,
00:37:36because I'm gonna give you my hat sack.
00:37:38One.
00:37:42One.
00:37:48Boy, there's something weird going on.
00:37:50You got some explaining to do.
00:38:04Turn on back a she-shed.
00:38:08Wow. I love what you've done with the place.
00:38:10Spill it. Everything. Now.
00:38:14I ended things in October,
00:38:16and for reasons I would rather not discuss,
00:38:18decided not to tell anybody.
00:38:20Okay. Yeah.
00:38:22So, why is she still here?
00:38:24For work.
00:38:26Believe it or not.
00:38:28Meeting at the train station was just a fluke,
00:38:30and then Dad suddenly hauling her luggage to the car,
00:38:32and, well, here we are now.
00:38:34So she got Dunsmored?
00:38:36The most.
00:38:38The most.
00:38:40Oh, no.
00:38:42I'm sorry. That's funny.
00:38:44Good. I'm glad you're enjoying this.
00:38:46When her team canceled,
00:38:48we made a deal.
00:38:50I would get the governor for her campaign,
00:38:52and she would, um...
00:38:54You know.
00:38:56Pretend like you're still together?
00:38:58Yes.
00:39:00Uh-huh.
00:39:02Ow! Why?
00:39:04What is wrong with you?
00:39:06I am well aware
00:39:08of how much you guys love her.
00:39:10And grad dad has happened,
00:39:12and Christmas, everybody's favorite holiday
00:39:14is right around the corner,
00:39:16and I didn't want you guys
00:39:18to be hurting like I was hurting.
00:39:20Jamie.
00:39:22For the last two years, every word out of your mouth
00:39:24has been, Emily this, Emily that.
00:39:26I thought you were ready to get down on one knee for that girl.
00:39:28Things change. People change.
00:39:30I decided it wasn't a good fit
00:39:32long term.
00:39:34Why? Because she's amazing?
00:39:36Smart?
00:39:38Funny? Crushing it career-wise?
00:39:40Exactly.
00:39:42I'm not.
00:39:44We were going two different directions.
00:39:46Two very different directions.
00:39:48And I didn't want to be the one
00:39:52to hold her back.
00:39:56And now you're not holding her at all.
00:39:58Yeah.
00:40:00Look, can you please just keep this to yourself?
00:40:04She leaves Christmas Day, I'll break the news
00:40:06when she's gone.
00:40:11I love you.
00:40:13And I support you.
00:40:15But you're wrong here.
00:40:17So if you don't marry her,
00:40:19I'm gonna have to marry her myself
00:40:21because one way or another, we're keeping that girl in this family.
00:40:23Good morning.
00:40:25How's your speech coming?
00:40:27Good. Powerful.
00:40:29Where are you going?
00:40:31I'm just gonna go out in town
00:40:33and see if I can find some inspiration of my own.
00:40:35Oh, that's nice.
00:40:37Um, maybe, can I make a suggestion?
00:40:39Sure.
00:40:41You know, I'm just gonna go out
00:40:43and see if I can find some inspiration of my own.
00:40:45Oh, that's nice.
00:40:47Um, maybe, can I make a suggestion?
00:40:49Sure.
00:40:51Um, maybe, can I make a suggestion?
00:40:53Sure.
00:40:55If you go somewhere, go hit State Street
00:40:57or Winter Gardens.
00:40:59But don't enter from Maine.
00:41:01Go to the park.
00:41:03Actually, no, Brier.
00:41:05You know what? Maybe I should go with you.
00:41:07I could use a break. This is going so well.
00:41:09Are you procrastinating?
00:41:11Am I your excuse?
00:41:13No, no, this is going really well.
00:41:15All right, come on.
00:41:17So the campaign...
00:41:19Sorry, the campaign is
00:41:21about Fulton, but it can't just be, like...
00:41:23Here, can you hold this?
00:41:25Yeah, yeah.
00:41:27It can't just be a bunch of boring stock photos
00:41:29or even a celebrity spokesperson.
00:41:31It really needs to be a hook.
00:41:33A hook.
00:41:35Like a story within a story.
00:41:37Within the story.
00:41:39You know what I mean?
00:41:41You know what? I'll never forget.
00:41:43Remember the campaign you came up with for that tea company?
00:41:45Yes, this was brilliant.
00:41:49Although, if you recall,
00:41:51you're actually the one who came up with that verbiage.
00:41:53I just sort of unearthed the concept.
00:41:55I think you're giving me too much credit.
00:41:57Okay.
00:41:59You ready?
00:42:01Yeah, where to?
00:42:03Turn around.
00:42:05I give you State Street.
00:42:07Once a paltry pit stop
00:42:09for one of the busiest trade routes in the Midwest,
00:42:11now a thriving shopping and entertainment district.
00:42:13How am I doing?
00:42:15Great. I'm riveted. Yeah, continue.
00:42:17We shall walk, we shall eat,
00:42:19we shall endeavor to unearth
00:42:21the story within the story
00:42:23that is Fulton, Illinois.
00:42:25Oh, I left my camera in the coffee shop.
00:42:31Thank you, my friend.
00:42:33Break a sweat yet?
00:42:37These hot dogs are like lunch for a week.
00:42:39I know. Here, wash this down.
00:42:41You can finish it, but you'll win a car.
00:42:43You know, my school used to be right over there.
00:42:45Where?
00:42:47Right there. You see it?
00:42:49Oh, that's so cool.
00:42:51Yeah.
00:42:53How was that?
00:42:55Your mom working at the front office
00:42:57and your dad driving the bus.
00:42:59Oh, yeah, it was so cool.
00:43:01I thought it was open mic night every day.
00:43:03It was singing
00:43:05and wearing funny T-shirts
00:43:07and joking around.
00:43:09It was the best, but...
00:43:11But?
00:43:13I got teased for it so much.
00:43:15Oh, really?
00:43:17Yes.
00:43:19Stinks? Yeah, not for me.
00:43:21Kids can be mean.
00:43:23Yeah.
00:43:25Do you think that's why you're
00:43:27maybe so particular?
00:43:29Like, if everything's perfect,
00:43:31there's nothing to poke fun at?
00:43:33I don't know.
00:43:35I never thought about that.
00:43:37I'm not judging you.
00:43:39You know my story, bouncing around
00:43:41from military base to base.
00:43:43It's hard to let people in
00:43:45if you know you're gonna leave.
00:43:47Yeah.
00:43:49Sounds lonely
00:43:51for both of us.
00:43:53Yeah.
00:43:55And here we are, full circle.
00:43:57Locals call this area Little Chicago.
00:43:59In fact, Melody's,
00:44:01once a famous mob hangout,
00:44:03is where the man himself, Al Capone,
00:44:05used to sing Christmas carols.
00:44:07Really?
00:44:09That's right.
00:44:11Wow.
00:44:13Politicians, movie stars,
00:44:15it was a who's who.
00:44:17He would dress up as Santa
00:44:19and hand out cash, jewelry,
00:44:21make everybody sing Christmas carols.
00:44:23Really?
00:44:25No, no, I made that part up.
00:44:27Why do I always fall for your
00:44:29ridiculous stories?
00:44:31Because you secretly love them.
00:44:33Did you notice something
00:44:35a little bit off about Jamie lately?
00:44:37Especially when he's around Emily.
00:44:39Could be anything.
00:44:41Remember the week I proposed?
00:44:43It's like my body was taken over
00:44:45by an alien.
00:44:47Wait a sec.
00:44:49I read somewhere that Christmas day
00:44:51is the most popular day of the year
00:44:53to propose.
00:44:55And when I mentioned it to Jamie
00:44:57the other night, he got really
00:44:59uncomfortable.
00:45:01Oh!
00:45:03Best Christmas ever!
00:45:05Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
00:45:07Okay, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:45:09Hey, a walker
00:45:11or two? Down front, right.
00:45:13Okay, thank you.
00:45:15Sir, go ahead. Please, please, after you.
00:45:17Thank you very much.
00:45:21Haven't done this in a while.
00:45:23Oh, thank you. No, we haven't.
00:45:25No, we haven't.
00:45:27Cheers.
00:45:29So, work good?
00:45:31Yeah, works great.
00:45:33Yeah, I've been having fun.
00:45:35And, um,
00:45:37the guy that I told you about, Jerry,
00:45:39the guy who does all the international stuff?
00:45:41Yes. He's on his way out.
00:45:43Oh, no way. So I'm next in line.
00:45:45Wow, you get to pick up the international
00:45:47stuff. That's what you've always wanted.
00:45:49Yep. That's exciting.
00:45:51And you, the governor, I mean, how did that happen?
00:45:53Oh, Gina. Yeah, she brought me on
00:45:55about a month ago. And you're doing the Christmas day
00:45:57address, and wow.
00:45:59Cool. I mean, you have been...
00:46:01Struggling? You can say it.
00:46:03No, I was going to say you've been working really hard.
00:46:05You've been working hard to get to this point.
00:46:09It's really great. So what's the gist of the speech?
00:46:11Uh, well, you know, it's the usual.
00:46:13It's like Christmas
00:46:15and political stuff.
00:46:21Okay, it was a few weeks
00:46:23after we met, and you were
00:46:25writing copy at City Hall, and I was
00:46:27in the old buildings in the West Loop.
00:46:29Yeah, yeah. And there was that place.
00:46:31What was that place called? We would meet there. It had the pink...
00:46:33Pink umbrellas. Patio umbrellas.
00:46:35Yes, yes, yes. I love that place.
00:46:37We would sit there for hours and just
00:46:39talk about
00:46:41everything, and life, and
00:46:43dreams, and...
00:46:48What happened to that?
00:46:50Well, you, uh,
00:46:52you jumped up to creative director.
00:46:54Started taking the out-of-town jobs, and...
00:46:56It's hard to stay up all night
00:46:58talking 1,500 miles apart.
00:47:09You want me to take one?
00:47:11For the lovely couple?
00:47:13Oh, no, we're not together. Thanks.
00:47:15My apologies. Just pretending to be.
00:47:17Nah, she's kidding. We're a couple.
00:47:19Nah, I'm kidding. We're a couple of frauds.
00:47:21I mean, we used to be together until this guy decided to pull
00:47:23a ripcord. I really wish I hadn't
00:47:25stepped out of a meeting to take that call.
00:47:27I found out that his family
00:47:29doesn't know that we're not together,
00:47:31and so now I am staying with them
00:47:33until Christmas in exchange for the governor
00:47:35of Illinois.
00:47:38Well, we've all been there. Right?
00:47:40Thank you so much.
00:47:45I'm glad we did that.
00:47:55Yes, and they're smiling at me.
00:47:57It's like they're mocking me,
00:47:59and I can't look at her the same since then.
00:48:01Oh, God. I'm sorry.
00:48:03There it is. Don't you apologize for that.
00:48:05It's never a successful day unless
00:48:07I get one snort laugh.
00:48:09Great. Well, then, success.
00:48:11Yes. Yes.
00:48:13Cheers.
00:48:19Seriously, though,
00:48:21today was...
00:48:23Yeah, yeah, it was...
00:48:25And informative.
00:48:27Yep. Educational, even.
00:48:34I love these homemade ornaments.
00:48:36Each one tells a little story.
00:48:38Very unique.
00:48:40Granddad used to have us make them every year.
00:48:42The collection just kept growing and growing.
00:48:45It's like a little map of your childhood.
00:48:47It's really sweet.
00:48:49I never had anything like that.
00:48:51I don't know.
00:48:53Here's this little done one.
00:48:55Looks like some kind of young model, I think.
00:48:57No, I know that's you.
00:48:59I would know that face anywhere,
00:49:01bowl cut or not.
00:49:03Look at those eyes.
00:49:05Same eyes.
00:49:07Yep. Still close together.
00:49:09No. Curious.
00:49:11Even then,
00:49:13you had a whole world going on
00:49:15that nobody else had access to.
00:49:17Oh.
00:49:19Guess I haven't changed much.
00:49:24Well, don't.
00:49:26It's part of your charm.
00:49:28I mean...
00:49:30No, no, leave it there.
00:49:32That was very nice.
00:49:34Where are you going?
00:49:36What?
00:49:41I can't believe I didn't think to show you this earlier.
00:49:43This is one of my favorite things.
00:49:45Come here.
00:49:47Well, beautiful.
00:49:49What's the thing about being at 11, 13 in the evening?
00:49:51Oh, when has that ever bothered you?
00:49:53Come here.
00:49:55You made that comment
00:49:57about how each ornament tells a little story,
00:49:59and I realized that the real heartbeat of this town,
00:50:01of any town, really,
00:50:03it's not hot dog stands or jazz clubs.
00:50:05It's the people.
00:50:07And their stories.
00:50:09I'm holding this.
00:50:11What are you...
00:50:15Come here, give me your hand.
00:50:19Oh, what is this?
00:50:21Oh, they all have writing on them.
00:50:23Yes, they do.
00:50:25Since forever, it's been a Fulton tradition
00:50:27that every couple that gets married here
00:50:29writes their initials on a stone and drops it in the fountain.
00:50:31Well, that's a little bit romantic.
00:50:33Yes, and I've always been fascinated
00:50:35by the idea that each stone
00:50:37tells a story of two entirely separate worlds
00:50:39forged together as one.
00:50:41And with each stone placed,
00:50:43the story is born anew.
00:50:45And the promise of chapters
00:50:47yet to be written.
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:51Chapters, stories, chapters.
00:50:53I like this.
00:50:55Fulton, your stories begin.
00:50:57Chapter...
00:50:59Fulton, your story starts here.
00:51:01That's so good.
00:51:03That's it.
00:51:05Good hook.
00:51:07Okay, good.
00:51:09Yay, that's it.
00:51:11Fulton, your story starts here.
00:51:13Yes, now put the stone back so it's somebody else's story.
00:51:15Oh, yes, here.
00:51:17Be free, be happy, Fulton.
00:51:19Fulton, Fulton, your story starts here.
00:51:21That's right, don't let anybody sleep tonight.
00:51:25Come here, let's go.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:29Let's go.
00:51:35This is fun.
00:51:37You happy you figured that out?
00:51:39Mm-hmm.
00:51:41Thank you
00:51:43for all of this, for everything.
00:51:45And the governor.
00:51:47I know that was not an easy ask.
00:51:49You really came through.
00:51:53Yeah.
00:51:58Hey, Gina.
00:52:00I hate to bug you again,
00:52:02but I really need you to push
00:52:04something that happened here.
00:52:06It's incredibly important to me.
00:52:08And the truth is,
00:52:10I've been a bit of a blind.
00:52:12Okay, call me back.
00:52:20Shopping for anybody in particular?
00:52:22Yes.
00:52:24No.
00:52:26You?
00:52:28Yes.
00:52:30Me?
00:52:32Sweet.
00:52:36Well, either you sorely misjudged Scotty's sock size
00:52:38or you pulled your dad's name.
00:52:40Socks, really?
00:52:42Have you ever had a good pair of socks?
00:52:44And they're practical.
00:52:46Yeah, but so is homeowner's insurance.
00:52:48Nobody wants to get it for Christmas.
00:52:50Right.
00:52:52Look, look at these.
00:52:54Get your dad something he can use, like these.
00:52:56Look, we got potholders, we got an apron.
00:52:58Look at that cute little apron.
00:53:00I know he's not Martha Stewart.
00:53:02Your dad knows that he's not a good cook,
00:53:04but he loves it anyway,
00:53:06and there's something to be said for that.
00:53:08There's also something to be said for warm feet.
00:53:10Don't you have your own shopping to do?
00:53:12Yeah, I'm not buying socks.
00:53:14Hold on, I gotta take this.
00:53:16Excuse me.
00:53:18Gee, hey, any word?
00:53:20The word is, you owe me big.
00:53:22She's in. She wants hands to shake,
00:53:24babies to kiss, the whole thing.
00:53:26Gina, I cannot.
00:53:28I'm sorry.
00:53:30Looks like I'm spending Christmas in Fulton.
00:53:36Hi.
00:53:38Hi. Did you win a cruise?
00:53:40Better.
00:53:42What?
00:53:44There was a fire.
00:53:46My musical director just busted an ankle,
00:53:48and he's in the show, so I have to recast the part.
00:53:50No time.
00:53:52That's strange.
00:53:54What size are you?
00:53:58Ooh.
00:54:00Nope. Not in a million years am I wearing that.
00:54:02On that.
00:54:04Uh, yeah, you are, because if you don't, I'll tell.
00:54:06Tell what?
00:54:08What, are you eight?
00:54:10You gonna tell on me?
00:54:12Does she know? Do you know?
00:54:14Oh, I do know.
00:54:16And I know we'd like to think I'm above resorting to something like this,
00:54:18but desperate times, my friends.
00:54:20You do the play, or I spill the beans.
00:54:22We don't negotiate with terrorists.
00:54:24Hi, Mom. Jamie has something he'd like to tell you.
00:54:26Jamie? Is everything all right?
00:54:28Yeah.
00:54:30Um...
00:54:32Look.
00:54:34The thing is...
00:54:36Yeah?
00:54:38I'm in a play now.
00:54:40Oh, honey, that's so exciting.
00:54:42It's so exciting.
00:54:44I don't know why you're smiling.
00:54:46You're gonna be running the confetti cannon.
00:54:48Welcome to showbiz, kids.
00:54:50What are you doing out here?
00:54:52I'm probably not qualified for that.
00:54:54If I'm doing it, you're doing it.
00:55:00Both of you have witnessed me dance, okay?
00:55:02It's not natural.
00:55:04It's like someone swinging around a bag of random body parts.
00:55:06I really need to work.
00:55:08I'm not hearing it.
00:55:10Maybe this hasn't occurred to you,
00:55:12but there will be fallout from this little farce of yours,
00:55:14and who's gonna be left picking up the pieces, huh?
00:55:16Okay.
00:55:18I'll see you next time at the end of my play.
00:55:20And you're doing it. End of story.
00:55:26All right, this has been fun.
00:55:28I gotta go pick up Gina from the train station.
00:55:30She's coming into prep. Can I borrow your car?
00:55:32You don't drive stick.
00:55:34Can I borrow your car with you inside of it driving?
00:55:36Thank you kindly.
00:55:38Oh, wow.
00:55:40I can't believe you never learned to drive stick.
00:55:42Oh, hi.
00:55:44Working, are you?
00:55:46Oh, well, I'm gonna finish that one.
00:55:48All right, what does she look like?
00:55:50I don't know.
00:55:52She's got brown hair, two eyes, a face.
00:55:54She kind of looks like, uh...
00:55:56Jamie.
00:55:58Like that. Gina!
00:56:00Thank you so much.
00:56:02Anything for you.
00:56:04Yes. This is my sister.
00:56:06Hi. Hi. Gina. Becca.
00:56:08I've heard so much about you.
00:56:10Jamie invited me out for dinner tonight. Will you be joining?
00:56:12Um...
00:56:14Yep. Come on.
00:56:18I always wanted a cat, too.
00:56:20Really?
00:56:22Yeah, but, um, and I'm not allergic,
00:56:24but I grew up moving around so much
00:56:26that, um, I guess it just wasn't very practical
00:56:28to have a pet, and now I'm always on the go,
00:56:30so...
00:56:32Yeah, too many houses
00:56:34and never really a home.
00:56:38You know, we think the world of you.
00:56:40You always have a home here with us.
00:56:42Thanks.
00:56:49All right, so, Jamie,
00:56:51tell us about your part in the play.
00:56:53Jamie's filling in for Mr. Price.
00:56:55I heard.
00:56:57Yeah. You're in a play?
00:56:59Barely, barely.
00:57:01If by barely you mean closing out the entire show...
00:57:03Welcome to Mama Maroney's.
00:57:07Could you get some water?
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:11It's all that trash.
00:57:13It's terrible.
00:57:15You know, you look really familiar.
00:57:17I know what it is.
00:57:19You guys came into Melody's the other night.
00:57:21I was your server.
00:57:23You told me that crazy story.
00:57:25Who's in charge here?
00:57:27This table has quite the wobble.
00:57:29Em, a little help?
00:57:31Great idea. Nothing suspicious about this.
00:57:33We need to escape. We need to escape.
00:57:35How, Batman?
00:57:37You guys good?
00:57:39Just got it.
00:57:41It's just, uh...
00:57:43Oh, he's got the coaster. Problem solved.
00:57:45His little feet.
00:57:47His little sabotaging feet.
00:57:49All right, I'll, uh,
00:57:51give you folks a little time with the menus, yeah?
00:57:53Okay, yeah, sounds good.
00:57:55What are we doing?
00:57:57I think I got a plan.
00:57:59Follow my lead.
00:58:01I don't know.
00:58:03Want to eat?
00:58:05Max, have you had a chance to look at the menu yet?
00:58:07There you go.
00:58:09You know what I'm getting at.
00:58:11Oh, yeah.
00:58:13What to eat? What to eat?
00:58:15What is going on?
00:58:17He knows. The server knows.
00:58:19It's my fault I did that.
00:58:21You got to get rid of him, Bex. You got to get rid of him now.
00:58:23How? This is the Godfather.
00:58:25I don't know. Pull him aside. Order for the table.
00:58:27Pay with your credit card and tell him you don't want to be disturbed.
00:58:29I'm sorry, my credit card?
00:58:31Ah, didn't think you'd catch that.
00:58:33Thanks for dinner.
00:58:35Yeah.
00:58:37Has anyone tried the gnocchi?
00:58:39So, do you normally ditch your family
00:58:41at restaurants, or...
00:58:43It's probably 50-50.
00:58:45Well, I appreciate the lift.
00:58:47I hope Emily and Jamie don't mind walking.
00:58:49Whatever. I'm sure one of them has a scarf
00:58:51they can share.
00:58:53Oh, my goodness.
00:58:55I panicked.
00:58:57I had nothing, all right?
00:58:59What did we learn about divulging sensitive
00:59:02information to waitstaff in small towns?
00:59:04Our lesson.
00:59:06Good, good.
00:59:08What's that thought?
00:59:10What thought?
00:59:12Come on, I can see it. It's right here.
00:59:14It's this giant thought sitting right here.
00:59:16What is it?
00:59:18I just thought I was crazy to agree to this,
00:59:20but I'm actually enjoying myself.
00:59:22Good, good.
00:59:24Yeah, it feels like when we started dating, you know?
00:59:28Em?
00:59:30I am so sorry
00:59:32for the way things ended.
00:59:34I handled that badly.
00:59:36And I apologize to you.
00:59:40I really appreciate that.
00:59:42It was a surprise.
00:59:44I know.
00:59:46Sometimes I wonder,
00:59:48you know...
00:59:50Wonder what?
00:59:54Here, look at this.
00:59:56A shooting star.
00:59:58Before, look.
01:00:00I don't want that. What do I wish for?
01:00:02Whatever you want.
01:00:04Close your eyes.
01:00:12So you mind if it's only yours?
01:00:18I think I'll wait and see if it comes true.
01:00:24Let's go.
01:00:26Oh, yes, sir.
01:00:31Wow.
01:00:35Hey, where's Emma?
01:00:37Her camera team's finally arrived.
01:00:39She's bringing them up to speed.
01:00:41Where are you off to?
01:00:43I have a meeting.
01:00:45Christmas Eve? No, you don't.
01:00:47It's a coffee meeting.
01:00:49Coffee meeting? With who?
01:00:51It's Gina.
01:00:53Wow.
01:00:55Yeah, you cracked the case, Columbo.
01:00:57How do I look?
01:01:01You look fantastic.
01:01:03Have fun.
01:01:07I kind of want that, too.
01:01:09Yeah, it doesn't look so bad, does it?
01:01:13See you.
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:23See you.
01:01:50He loved them.
01:01:52Some days,
01:01:54he'd spend the whole day
01:01:56in here,
01:01:58lost in the pages.
01:02:00Yeah.
01:02:04I miss him.
01:02:06You know, it's hard not having him here.
01:02:08Oh, he's around.
01:02:10I mean, he's with us.
01:02:12He just can't complain about my cooking anymore.
01:02:16What's that look?
01:02:18Tell me.
01:02:20A speech to write, Grant.
01:02:22It's a big one.
01:02:24It's gonna be the biggest in my career.
01:02:26And, uh,
01:02:28I got nothing.
01:02:30Not a single sentence.
01:02:32This seems to be my
01:02:34thing.
01:02:36When it comes time
01:02:40to find the words that really matter,
01:02:42I...
01:02:44I don't know what happens. I freeze.
01:02:46It's remarkable
01:02:48how much of him I see in you.
01:02:50Your granddad.
01:02:54Everything always had to be just so.
01:02:56Just right.
01:02:59But do you know what he discovered
01:03:01very late?
01:03:03That the pursuit of perfection
01:03:05is a road paved with
01:03:07disappointment.
01:03:09The really important things in life,
01:03:11like love and family
01:03:13and community, I mean,
01:03:15they are very messy.
01:03:17Life is messy.
01:03:19It can never be perfect.
01:03:21Never.
01:03:23So you have to just enjoy
01:03:25the beauty in the mess, Jamie.
01:03:27Success or not, you do not have
01:03:29to prove yourself.
01:03:31We love you just the way
01:03:33you are.
01:03:35And so does she.
01:03:37I just hope Governor Haywood feels
01:03:39that way. I am not talking
01:03:41about the governor.
01:03:43Oh.
01:03:47The tagline is
01:03:49Fulton, your story
01:03:51starts here. Ooh, catchy.
01:03:53Yeah. Come on, help me.
01:03:55I'll be back.
01:04:01Darryl.
01:04:03Hi. I'm here with Risa and Danny.
01:04:05They just landed. Hi. Hey, Darryl.
01:04:07Perfect. Real quick.
01:04:09Forget Hawaii.
01:04:11That project I was telling you about
01:04:13is going to hit January.
01:04:15That project I was telling you about
01:04:17is going to hit January 1st.
01:04:19You're in.
01:04:21Wow.
01:04:23I don't know what to say.
01:04:25I think you do. Finish your meeting.
01:04:27We'll chat details later.
01:04:31So, do you want to go?
01:04:33Yeah, I want to go.
01:04:35Of course I want to go, but...
01:04:41Jamie and I have been kind of
01:04:43I know, I know.
01:04:45I'm not, I'm not.
01:04:47I just...
01:04:49I miss him.
01:04:51You know?
01:04:53And it's been really nice
01:04:55to reconnect. Is that something you want?
01:04:57I don't even know what's going on in his head, okay?
01:04:59The guy's a vault, so it's probably nothing, okay?
01:05:01Hey, Em.
01:05:03Be careful. Yeah.
01:05:07Okay, I gotta run.
01:05:09Bye.
01:05:11All right.
01:05:13Did you get that?
01:05:15Thanks, kiddo.
01:05:17You win, you win!
01:05:19I'm glad you like it.
01:05:21That was very thoughtful.
01:05:23I wanted to bring out your eyes, you know?
01:05:25Yeah, well, I was checking socks.
01:05:27Better than socks, honey.
01:05:29Grandma's next.
01:05:31Oh, yes, Grandma.
01:05:33Excuse me.
01:05:35It's here, right here.
01:05:37Merry Christmas.
01:05:39Oh, sorry.
01:05:41So that is for the tree.
01:05:43In case there's not a new one this year.
01:05:45Oh.
01:05:47It's beautiful, dear. Thank you.
01:05:49Oh, yes.
01:05:51It's of all of us when we're doing karaoke.
01:05:53Oh.
01:05:55That was a big night.
01:05:57Okay, well, that just leaves one more.
01:05:59Okay.
01:06:01And, um, well, here you go.
01:06:05And it's not gonna shed.
01:06:07Oh, that's so sweet.
01:06:09Thank you so much.
01:06:11He's so cute.
01:06:13My very own cat.
01:06:15So thoughtful.
01:06:17I always wondered when I was a kid
01:06:19what it would be like to have a big family Christmas
01:06:21with all the noise and the chaos and the joy.
01:06:23And, you know, you're really lucky, kiddo.
01:06:25You guys answered my question
01:06:27with flying colors
01:06:29and it's just been more than, um,
01:06:31I could imagine.
01:06:35I love you so much, hon,
01:06:37and you deserve it all.
01:06:39You sure do.
01:06:41What cursed luck
01:06:43upon this eve.
01:06:45Oh, wicked storms.
01:06:47I cannot leave.
01:06:49Snap out of it. It's community theater,
01:06:51not the Gettysburg Address.
01:06:53Yeah, yeah, I just, um...
01:06:55You're still madly in love
01:06:57and you feel like a huge dummy for breaking it off.
01:06:59I get it.
01:07:01And you should tell her
01:07:03that I need your head in the game.
01:07:05Do you understand?
01:07:07Yeah.
01:07:09Yeah? Good? Jamie? Make me proud?
01:07:11Okay.
01:07:13As nightfall
01:07:15speeds
01:07:17toward morning light,
01:07:19this stranded slave...
01:07:21Oh, it's true.
01:07:23Shh.
01:07:25Okay, hey.
01:07:27I'm gonna circle out front, okay?
01:07:29Hey, congrats again on the job.
01:07:31Right?
01:07:33Yeah, you need it for TOG.
01:07:35Three months in the Caymans.
01:07:37Doesn't sound bad to me.
01:07:39Caymans, I know.
01:07:41See you later.
01:07:43Cayman.
01:07:49Looking good.
01:07:51Yeah.
01:07:53Hey, I know we haven't talked about
01:07:55what's gonna happen after the speech,
01:07:57but I was thinking, I mean, I was kind of hoping...
01:07:59I'm getting a cab to the train station.
01:08:01I'm gonna need some time alone with my family.
01:08:03Break the news, all right?
01:08:05Place is showtime.
01:08:07Yeah.
01:08:11I shall cast aside
01:08:13my mortal fright and undertake...
01:08:15Hey, okay, listen.
01:08:17You got this.
01:08:19You just gotta go out there and have fun, okay?
01:08:21Leading that energy. Go.
01:08:23Who will guide my sleigh tonight?
01:08:25Who will guide my sleigh tonight?
01:08:37I've come on a mission
01:08:39from the stars up above
01:08:41to save Christmas for all
01:08:43with the power of...
01:08:45Love.
01:08:47Love.
01:08:49Fine. Fine.
01:08:55Ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:09:11Ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:09:13Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:09:25And Christmas was saved!
01:09:33All right.
01:09:35This one will count.
01:09:43Ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:09:51Hey, good show, guys.
01:09:54Hi.
01:09:56Hi. So, what was that?
01:09:58I'm sorry about the confetti.
01:10:00Are you? Or was that, uh, you getting back at me?
01:10:02Yeah, I ruined your sister's play to get back at you.
01:10:04Are you insane?
01:10:06I don't know, Em.
01:10:08Am I?
01:10:10Wow.
01:10:12I'm such an idiot.
01:10:14For falling back into this with you
01:10:16and then thinking that you felt the same way...
01:10:18Ah!
01:10:20Hold on, hold on.
01:10:22Falling back into this how?
01:10:24You're...leaving.
01:10:26What?
01:10:28Did I not just hear your photographer talk to you about going to the Cayman Islands
01:10:30for three months?
01:10:32You got a new job. You're gone.
01:10:34And who knows what.
01:10:36Wow. You have no idea what you're...
01:10:38You have no right to be angry.
01:10:40I was planning on building a life with you
01:10:42and you broke that off.
01:10:44I've been trying to figure out why ever since.
01:10:46And then you broke me into this whole thing
01:10:48with your family and give me every indication
01:10:50that you still have feelings for me
01:10:52only to just rip the rug out again.
01:10:54So I'm just...
01:10:56really tired of feeling like a yo-yo.
01:10:58Please tell me what you want.
01:11:02Tell me what you want, Jamie.
01:11:08That's what I thought.
01:11:10Okay, I'm going to get a hotel room for tonight.
01:11:12Wait, um...
01:11:14Yeah?
01:11:18What do I tell my family?
01:11:20Tell them the truth.
01:11:22That I went along with it
01:11:24so that they wouldn't feel hurt
01:11:26and wouldn't feel foolish.
01:11:28Even though now I'm the one who's a fool
01:11:30and I'm the one who's getting hurt.
01:11:32I'm sorry.
01:11:34I'm sorry.
01:11:36I'm the one who's getting hurt.
01:11:38You were so focused
01:11:40on keeping up the appearance of being in love
01:11:42that it didn't occur to you.
01:11:44I never stopped.
01:11:46I don't know. Tell them whatever you want.
01:11:48I'm done lying to them.
01:12:06Hey.
01:12:08Nice work up there.
01:12:10Interesting finish.
01:12:12I hate to rain on the moment,
01:12:14but I don't have a speech yet, Jamie.
01:12:16Do I need to be worried here?
01:12:18Gee, I...
01:12:20think you might.
01:12:22I don't have it.
01:12:24I'm so very sorry.
01:12:26Ellie, just get some sense into you.
01:12:32I just want to say
01:12:34I'm sorry.
01:12:36You guys gave me so much love
01:12:38and treated me like family
01:12:40and I'm really sorry
01:12:42that I lied to you.
01:12:44We love you so much
01:12:46and you are family.
01:12:48Merry Christmas.
01:12:50Merry Christmas.
01:12:52Merry Christmas.
01:12:54Merry Christmas.
01:12:56Merry Christmas.
01:12:58Hi, Auntie Emily.
01:13:00Hi.
01:13:02Safe travels.
01:13:04Merry Christmas.
01:13:06Okay.
01:13:08It's raining.
01:13:16Turn on Becca She Shed.
01:13:20Full blackout.
01:13:22You must be serious.
01:13:24Did you forget anything?
01:13:26Yeah.
01:13:30I don't have a glass.
01:13:36You want to talk about it?
01:13:38Nope.
01:13:40Too bad.
01:13:42Because I know you
01:13:44probably better than you know yourself.
01:13:48And I see things you're not even willing to acknowledge.
01:13:50This sounds profound.
01:13:52Please, do. Share.
01:13:54I see a guy who's in love with a girl.
01:13:56Danny is a little
01:13:58broken. He's a little
01:14:00scared.
01:14:02So he's too frightened to do anything about it.
01:14:04Bex, she is...
01:14:06She what? She loves you?
01:14:08You're terrified to put your faith in that
01:14:10because it might not be
01:14:12perfect.
01:14:14You might get your heart broken.
01:14:16And you know what?
01:14:18You might.
01:14:20But it's better than drinking
01:14:22wine alone in a garden shed.
01:14:24I'm not alone.
01:14:26You will be.
01:14:28In about six seconds.
01:14:32Don't stay too long.
01:14:34It's freezing out here.
01:14:36Turn off Becca She Shed.
01:14:42Hey.
01:14:44Hey.
01:14:53Dad.
01:14:55Yeah?
01:14:57It's magnificent.
01:15:01The whole thing.
01:15:05Thanks, pal.
01:15:07I know it's a little over the top, but
01:15:11your mom loves it.
01:15:14I do it for her.
01:15:16How'd you know she was the one?
01:15:18Well, that's easy.
01:15:22Whenever we're apart,
01:15:24I feel like there's a piece of me
01:15:26missing.
01:15:30I gotta go tweak an antler.
01:15:44I love you.
01:15:48I love you.
01:15:50I love you.
01:15:52I love you.
01:15:54I love you.
01:15:56I love you.
01:15:58I love you.
01:16:00I love you.
01:16:02I love you.
01:16:04I love you.
01:16:06I love you.
01:16:08I love you.
01:16:10I love you.
01:16:12I love you.
01:16:18Oh, hey.
01:16:20Merry Christmas.
01:16:22Merry Christmas, Mom.
01:16:24Merry Christmas, pal.
01:16:26Hey, coffee's fresh.
01:16:28Sorry we started without you.
01:16:30This guy was up early.
01:16:32Yeah, too early.
01:16:34Yes, it's my fault.
01:16:36I'm sorry.
01:16:38How's everybody doing?
01:16:40I'm glad the party's not over.
01:16:42There's still one more left for me.
01:16:44This one's for Scotty.
01:16:46Oh.
01:16:48Come on, rip into it.
01:16:50I was looking at that one before.
01:16:52How many presents you got today?
01:16:54There you go.
01:16:56It's an art set.
01:16:58Pops open right here.
01:17:00Oh, it's an art set.
01:17:02I'll teach you.
01:17:04I can give you lessons.
01:17:06I'll show you how to mix colors.
01:17:08Good stuff.
01:17:10What do you think?
01:17:12Thanks, Uncle Jamie.
01:17:14Yeah, pal, of course, of course.
01:17:16It's nice, right?
01:17:18Who's hungry? Anybody still hungry?
01:17:20Breakfast, huh?
01:17:22No, I'm good with coffee.
01:17:24Pop, let's take that apron for a spin.
01:17:26You go ahead, son.
01:17:28I'm not really feeling that hungry.
01:17:30Pancakes? I'll cook.
01:17:32I don't ever cook.
01:17:34I had a granola bar.
01:17:36Okay, I know things down.
01:17:38It didn't go as planned.
01:17:40I know that. I'm sorry. It's my fault.
01:17:42Come on, we can still celebrate.
01:17:44Yeah?
01:17:46It's Christmas.
01:17:48We love Christmas.
01:17:50Yeah, sure.
01:17:52Yeah, you know, it's not that it's your fault, Jamie.
01:17:54We're just, I think...
01:17:56I think all of us are feeling a little off this morning.
01:17:58That's all.
01:18:00It's not the same without Auntie Emily here.
01:18:02It feels like...
01:18:04Yeah.
01:18:06Yeah, I know.
01:18:22Get your coats.
01:18:24You heard him. Get your coats.
01:18:26Time for operation Go Get Emily.
01:18:28Go Get Emily.
01:18:30Okay, now.
01:18:32Hop, step on it.
01:18:39Okay, let's do this.
01:18:43Absolutely.
01:18:45Just glad she's all right.
01:18:47Jamie, I got your email.
01:18:49Thank you so much for the speech. It was perfect.
01:18:51Where is everybody?
01:18:53Where's the governor?
01:18:55She canceled.
01:18:57No.
01:18:59Her daughter had an asthma attack.
01:19:01Okay, uh...
01:19:03Emily?
01:19:05She's gone.
01:19:07She left for the train station a while ago.
01:19:09She was pretty upset.
01:19:11Yeah, I bet.
01:19:15No, no, no, no.
01:19:17Okay, no. I just gotta hustle, right?
01:19:19Okay, thanks, Gina.
01:19:21Oh, wait, Gina.
01:19:23I'm so sorry for me being me.
01:19:25Okay.
01:19:27The governor canceled.
01:19:29We need to get to the train station.
01:19:35Good morning, and Merry Christmas.
01:19:37Unfortunately, our daughter had an asthma attack this morning,
01:19:40and thankfully, she is much better now.
01:19:43However, we were unable to be in the charming little town of Fulton
01:19:48where we originally planned to do this broadcast.
01:19:51If you haven't been,
01:19:53I suggest you visit.
01:19:55It is one of my favorite places in the state.
01:20:00Sometimes, life throws us curveballs,
01:20:03and we have to adapt,
01:20:05especially when it comes to family.
01:20:07Ray, is it still the belt?
01:20:09No, I need a mint.
01:20:11Mint's for who?
01:20:15So rarely do we take a moment.
01:20:17The gifts we already have.
01:20:19Gina!
01:20:21What are you doing here?
01:20:23So romantic.
01:20:25Love, community...
01:20:27Come on, Scotty.
01:20:30...and family.
01:20:32So today, tomorrow,
01:20:34and every day after that,
01:20:36let us strive for that,
01:20:38because that is how we keep Illinois moving forward.
01:20:41Merry Christmas, everyone,
01:20:43to you and your loved ones.
01:20:45Hi.
01:20:47Hi.
01:20:49Did you write that?
01:20:53Yeah, yeah.
01:20:55Jamie, this...
01:20:57No, no, wait, Emma.
01:21:00I am so tired
01:21:02of making decisions out of fear.
01:21:05Fear of failure,
01:21:07fear of falling short.
01:21:09This idea that I have
01:21:11that things have to be
01:21:13perfect in order for me to be happy,
01:21:16successful,
01:21:18valiant.
01:21:20The only thing I have to show for it
01:21:22is a heart that aches for you all the time.
01:21:26Because the truth is,
01:21:28Emma, I never stopped loving you.
01:21:30Ever.
01:21:32I just don't think I believe
01:21:34in myself
01:21:36enough to fight for it.
01:21:40But I'm fighting for it now.
01:21:43I'm asking.
01:21:45Asking what exactly?
01:21:47Will you stay?
01:21:49Will you stay?
01:21:51I know that you have the job in the Caymans,
01:21:53but we can... I turned it down.
01:21:55No, no, no, Emma, that's not what I want.
01:21:57No, that's what I want.
01:21:59I turned it down because I want to stay home.
01:22:01I want to put down roots
01:22:03and start to really let people in.
01:22:06There's this guy I really, um...
01:22:08Well, you know, he's a pain in the neck,
01:22:10but we work well together.
01:22:12He's an amazing speechwriter.
01:22:14Handsome.
01:22:16Yeah.
01:22:20I'm so sorry.
01:22:22I am so sorry.
01:22:27That you deceived me as a unicorn.
01:22:29Ha-ha-ha-ha!
01:22:31That sounds good!
01:22:44If you're looking
01:22:46for a date to the wedding,
01:22:48I'd like that.
01:22:50Oh, yes!
01:22:55Very good.
01:22:57Very good.
01:23:01Oh, my God!
01:23:03Oh, my God!
01:23:05You're here!
01:23:07Hey!
01:23:09Oh, my God!
01:23:11Oh, my God!
01:23:13Oh, my God!
01:23:17We're singing it.
01:23:19Yeah, oh, she's a singer.
01:23:21Okay.
01:23:23I see smiles
01:23:25On the faces of everyone
01:23:27I meet such holiday cheer
01:23:29I want to play it all
01:23:31Like a 7-year-old
01:23:33Under the mistletoe
01:23:35It's that time again
01:23:37Let it shine again
01:23:39It's that time again
01:23:41Let it shine again
01:23:45Oh, it's that time again
01:23:47Let it shine again
01:23:55piano plays
