Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Hi honey. I'm on my way. Hey, why do I get the feeling you're not on a train? Probably
00:00:09because I'm not, but I'm in the vicinity of one. Jo, you said you left hours ago. You're
00:00:14gonna miss your train. I know, but they just added another train to the route. I promise
00:00:18I'll catch it. That seems risky. Pardon me. I'm sorry. There was a massive emergency at
00:00:24work. What? Oh, is everyone okay? Oh, um, I mean more massive by PR standards. There
00:00:28was a gap with the spring face serum campaign. Sorry. I'm sorry, but I just got to my train.
00:00:35Switching to video. Oh no. Yeah. Oh no. I don't want to meet your parents for the first
00:00:41time without you here. This is important. Okay. All right. I'll just, I'll just go wait
00:00:46for you at a coffee shop. Okay. No, it's too late. They're watching you from the window.
00:00:56Oh, one piece of advice. No matter what you do, do not under any circumstances, ask them
00:01:05battery. It's fine. He'll be fine. Joanna hammer. Please leave a message. What I do
00:01:32under any circumstance, don't ask them what you forgot to charge your phone again. Hey,
00:01:46Chris, Chris B. Chris cross. Oh, you made it buddy. Thanks for having me. Mr. Hamlet.
00:01:53No, no, no. It's Dave. Dave Davey Davros dog. You're scaring him dog. Hi, I'm now Joe stepmom
00:02:01and you must be cold. Let's get you inside Dave suitcase. Wow. Dave is running a little
00:02:11behind in time. You'll find it charming. Let me help you out. Oh, thank you. I'll take
00:02:17this. Thanks. Yep. So where's Joe? Oh, she took a later train, but she'll be here in
00:02:23time for the party. Also, she suggested I get a fruit cake. You do like fruit cake.
00:02:30You eat it year round. Thank you. Help us set up for the party. Our theme is every sweater
00:02:35for themselves. Huh? Welcome to the Christmas train. No ugly sweater love. I didn't get
00:02:47the memo. But if I may ask, what's with the sweaters? Today's the start of the ugly sweater
00:02:53convention in Hartford. It's the 10 year anniversary. Yes, of course it is. You can
00:03:03have the honor. Oh, uh, Sisyphean tasks are my specialty. Yeah. Must be if you're here
00:03:10to woo the parents. The Amherst were actually one of Arbor's founding families and one of
00:03:22the families to stay after the witch trials. He's joking. This is how he jokes. Oh, fruit
00:03:31cake. Really? Amherst have been Arbor for almost a century and hosting this party for
00:03:3637 years. Oh, thanks. And hosting the Arbor Christmas Festival, right? Joe told me. Yeah,
00:03:42my grandpa started. It's just kind of a family Christmas event. They grew into the social
00:03:47event of the season. After my dad passed, there was a little hiatus for a bit. And then
00:03:52I started up again 10 years ago. But actually, it's Joe who's got to get the credit. She
00:03:56tends to be. Yeah. Here's that fruit cake you brought. Oh, no, thank you. I have a slightly
00:04:02fatal nut allergy. Oh, well, we wouldn't want to poison you. Or would we? Again, this is
00:04:10how he jokes. Yeah. So how did you two meet? Oh, actually, it's just about 10 years ago
00:04:35that we met. That's why the theme of the party is sweaters. Yeah, we met on a train full
00:04:41of ugly Christmas sweaters. Actually, it's pretty funny story.
00:05:06It was love at first sight. Nell doesn't believe in love at first sight. Or I'm sorry. No,
00:05:20she won't admit it. I don't. I don't. But he was very cute. Oh, I'm still cute. Excuse
00:05:30me. Is this seat taken? It's all yours. Wow. What is up with all these ugly Christmas
00:05:46sweaters? Solid opener. Thank you. Always best to start with a question. But seriously,
00:05:53do you know? I do actually. It's Hartford's inaugural ugly sweater convention. Oh, that
00:05:59could possibly something that's going to last. Absolutely not. First and last. So chit
00:06:10chat is hard. Did he actually say that? Did he ever? And what did you say? I said chit
00:06:18chat is the worst. Mm hmm. I'd like to ban chit chat to the realm of people who leave
00:06:23their shopping cart next to your car or people who take too long in their parking space when
00:06:27they know you're waiting. Or people who can't decide what to eat. It's not hard. There are
00:06:31three options. And what are they? Restaurant, farm, starve. Green Line Express. Tickets
00:06:38out. Have your tickets ready. Can't find your ticket. You better find that ticket. Yeah.
00:06:51No, I am. Better hurry. He's coming. About to get kicked off the train. Ah, just in the
00:07:00nick of time. I'm Dave Bell. Dave? No. Bell. Nice to meet you. So you both got each other's
00:07:13names wrong. But wouldn't your right names come up in conversation? Why would they, Chris?
00:07:19Yeah, Chris. How often do you address someone by their name? Doesn't it seem a little unnatural,
00:07:24Chris? Okay. Point taken, Dave and Nell. Are you by chance thirsty because this train has
00:07:38a mean hot chocolate? Sure, yeah. I love a wicked cocoa. Two, please. Thank you. Thank
00:07:47you. So let me guess. You live in Vermont. You run an organic fair trade coffee shop.
00:07:55One of those places that takes about 20 minutes to make an Americano but leaves you with a
00:07:59feeling of family the entire time you're there. Well, I am flattered. But not even close.
00:08:06No? No. Let me try. No, no, no, no. It's my turn now. You live in Boston and you're
00:08:14a lawyer. Ouch. No, no, no, no. But a good one. Like human rights or the environment.
00:08:19And you carry around a faux leather attaché. So first impressions of me are that I am noble
00:08:26and pretentious. And first impressions of me are I'm ineffective yet caffeinated. Ouch.
00:08:32Where are we stopping? Folks, we got ice on the tracks. So there'll be a short delay.
00:08:4330, maybe 45 minutes. I guess we're stuck together a little longer. I don't mind that.
00:08:51Oh, wow. They have Fredo's fruitcake. You know Fredo's? It's my favorite. It's mine
00:09:09too. I eat it year round. Me too. But have you had it heated up with chocolate chips?
00:09:14No. But have you ever had it stuffed in a mug and soaked with eggnog? No. And I won't
00:09:19be doing that. But major points for creativity. I'm going to get you one. What? Yes, I am
00:09:27going to get you one. No, what if the train leaves? No, no, the conductor said half an
00:09:31hour, maybe more. It's plenty of time. I'll give you that. Your knight in shining fruitcake
00:09:39shall return. Be right back. Actually, folks, track's all clear. We'll be on our way. Wait,
00:10:01somebody got a... Sir? Just one, please. Perfect. Thank you.
00:10:11Then how did you two finally meet? Determination. Whatever it was, I was in love. I can remember
00:10:40exactly the moment that I met Joe. I mean, it was only nine months ago, but my company
00:10:46was hired to do forensic accounting for her company and then I walked into the wrong conference
00:10:50room and... Actually, maybe this story's boring. No. No love story's boring. Exactly. Plus,
00:11:01we're curious to hear it from your point of view. So you were walking in the conference
00:11:05room and... All right. Well, I stammered and then I said something dumb and I excused
00:11:16myself and she followed me out into the hall and she asked me out for coffee. It was kind
00:11:22of like a knowing, like I just knew. That is exactly how we felt. Speak for yourself.
00:11:32We're so happy for you. You make Joe happy. Or rather, even more happy, right? Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:44Anyway, so you two were Gabe and Belle, separated by fate, fruitcake and a speeding train. So
00:11:51finding each other seems impossible without... Determination. So my train left the station,
00:12:01literally and figuratively. Loved training with my soulmate. Dad, you knew her for 10
00:12:06minutes. Oh, it was at least an hour. Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I just think when
00:12:11you know, you know. Did you ever know with my mom? Well, yeah, it was different. We were
00:12:18so young. Yeah, we knew. Sometimes knowing isn't forever. I find that thought worrying,
00:12:27but I'm just going to shelve that for adulthood. How are you going to find Belle? I don't know.
00:12:33Leave it to fate. Fate hasn't finished any of your other projects. Even working on this
00:12:39for half my life. That is a family heirloom. Two generations of hammers have worked on
00:12:44this thing. Had to do them justice. Got to get it right. Yeah, but it also needs to be
00:12:50done. Yeah. So what do you know about Belle? Well, her eyes sparkle when she laughs. She
00:12:56got this cute little nervous habit about biting her lip and she may or may not be a
00:13:02human rights lawyer from Boston. So you know nothing? No. Great start. OK, how do you plan
00:13:08to find her? Oh, just no. Don't say fate. OK. Destiny. Oh, look at you getting back
00:13:21out there. I am not getting back out anywhere. It was some flirty banter with a handsome
00:13:26stranger. Yeah, but that's the first stop in forgetting Eli. Eli who? Eli, your ex-fiance?
00:13:34Izzy. I'm joking. Of course, I remember the man who broke my heart, inspired me to quit
00:13:39my job, moved to this town to start over in a futile attempt to combat unrelenting, inescapable
00:13:44heartbreak. Oh, I thought you moved here to be close to your bestie. Oh, that is just
00:13:48a silver lining for which I will be eternally grateful. Anyways, this is supposed to be
00:13:55a work meeting. Yeah. So apologies. Oh, uh oh. As head of Arborist Park and Rec, it's
00:14:02my job to inform you that the Christmas festival has been approved. Yay. Well, as the new town
00:14:10comptroller, it is my job to inform you that Arbor can't afford it. We are barely in the
00:14:15green as it is. Where am I supposed to get this money? Ask Santa? Well, I don't know.
00:14:19That's your job. But the town loves the festival. The mayor really wants this to happen. Plus,
00:14:23the festival organizer has already been notified. Oh, God. Dad, where'd you put your phone?
00:14:35I don't know. Found it. Thanks. I was looking for that yesterday. Dad, there's an email
00:14:47here from Parks and Rec. The festival's been approved. What? No, I mean, that's shocking,
00:14:54right? No, totally expected. You're going to be the best festival organizer ever. Yeah.
00:15:05What? I don't know. It's just first time doing it without Gramps. Bound to be a few speed bumps.
00:15:13Dad, we got this. You're the Christmas Festivator. The Festivus Maximus. Festivus Prime. No?
00:15:22Too much? All right, what do we got? Okay, listen to this. TLDR. The festival has been
00:15:27approved, but the town's concerned with the budget and feasibility, as they should be.
00:15:34So they paired you with the town controller, Eleanor Spear. Great. Team. Oh, great. A team.
00:15:40And Eleanor's number is in the email. Okay, so what do you think? Should I give her a call,
00:15:44get her as excited as I am? You know what? I am going to call this David and establish
00:15:51some clear parameters.
00:16:06What's wrong?
00:16:12Well, I guess Eli has a new girlfriend. Are you okay?
00:16:21I'm fine. I'm fine. I got to call David and I'm going to get back to work.
00:16:35Hello? Hey, Eleanor. This is David.
00:16:39The festival organizer? That's me. Voice sounds familiar.
00:16:44I just wanted to call and tell you how excited I am to be teaming up.
00:16:49Um, full disclosure, I am staunchly against this festival.
00:16:56What, you just hate Christmas? Dad, what? No, I don't hate Christmas.
00:17:01I don't, I don't hate Christmas. I love it in moderation.
00:17:06But you know what I love more than Christmas? Logic.
00:17:10Sad for you. Dad, be nice.
00:17:13Uh, sorry, look, um, look, I know we're asking for a lot, but this, this festival,
00:17:18it's a rejuvenation of the town's spirit and its history and, um...
00:17:23No, what this festival is, is a waste of resources.
00:17:27Okay, well, that's your very harshly doled out opinion.
00:17:30You should probably know that I'm pouring my heart into this waste of resources.
00:17:33And you should know that I will be pouring all my heart into ensuring that you do not bankrupt this town.
00:17:39Oh, this sounds like a winning partnership then.
00:17:42No, because you and I are not partners.
00:17:45I am the town comptroller, and you are receiving funds from me,
00:17:49and you will be held accountable for every single cent.
00:17:52Good day, Mr. Amber.
00:17:58Good day, Ms. Spear.
00:18:00She seemed nice. Yeah.
00:18:02So, basically, how you met was complete serendipity.
00:18:08All right, fire this up.
00:18:12Yeah, there she is.
00:18:15Beautiful.
00:18:17You did good, kid.
00:18:19I did? Yeah.
00:18:20Teamwork.
00:18:25There are so many different kinds of ugly sweaters.
00:18:28Classic, comedic, ironic, movie.
00:18:33Sorry, folks, slight delay.
00:18:43Ooh, yes.
00:18:46Those are perfect.
00:18:51Jo's probably okay, right?
00:18:53Definitely.
00:18:55Question is, are you okay being here with us by yourself?
00:18:59I mean, I know your parents are coming on Christmas morning, but I'm sure you're missing some of the festivities.
00:19:04Yeah, I mean, kind of.
00:19:06We never really had holidays like this.
00:19:08There's no cookie decorating or tree tinseling.
00:19:10Not that my parents are scrooges, they're just practical to a fault.
00:19:13You know what they are? They're utilitarian.
00:19:16I used to be like that, too.
00:19:18Really?
00:19:20Well, it changed.
00:19:22I met Dave.
00:19:24Yeah, I feel the same way about meeting Jo.
00:19:27She makes me feel that life could be one big, impractical adventure in all the best ways.
00:19:33I know.
00:19:35There is a word for that.
00:19:36There is a word for that.
00:19:38Um...
00:19:40Anyway, so how did you and Dave finally meet? You two were working on the festival together?
00:19:46Nope. David and Eleanor were working on the festival together.
00:19:56Sweetheart, you should be out doing what other teenagers are doing on Christmas break.
00:20:01What they do is stare dead-eyed at their phones.
00:20:03And if I'm going to do that, at least let it be for a good cause.
00:20:07Like the festival.
00:20:09Anyway, I revised the budget and made a to-do.
00:20:13You need to lock in the trees, the heaters, generators, the fire inspection...
00:20:19I think we should take a break.
00:20:21But we just got started.
00:20:24Go to the bean, grab some decaf.
00:20:26Fine.
00:20:28But while I'm gone, I'm going to email Eleanor the budget.
00:20:31Cool. Do you need my phone?
00:20:33Why wouldn't you?
00:20:35Oh, so you hacked my email?
00:20:37No. You put it in there for the next time you lose your phone, remember?
00:20:41Very, very forward-thinking of me. I like it.
00:20:44No, Dad. Forward-thinking would be not losing your phone.
00:20:48Well...
00:20:50Go on.
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:57Oh, thank you.
00:20:59My pleasure.
00:21:10Could I please get a four-shot peppermint mocha?
00:21:18Incending budget...
00:21:20Set.
00:21:24Absolutely not happening.
00:21:29Sorry.
00:21:31What? Gabe!
00:21:33No.
00:21:35Okay, so do we have doppelgangers that were flirting on a train, or did we just get each other's names wrong?
00:21:40Hopefully both.
00:21:43TMI. I was really worried I wasn't going to see you again.
00:21:46Not TMI. I... I was too.
00:21:49So, what are you doing in Arbor?
00:21:52I moved here. I was living in the city, and I... needed a change.
00:21:58My best friend lives here, so I thought, why not?
00:22:00That's amazing. I live here too, with my daughter.
00:22:03You have a daughter?
00:22:05Yeah. Yeah, she's 16, and she's the coolest. She's just wise beyond her years. She's an amazing kid.
00:22:10Sixteen. Wow.
00:22:13Yeah, yeah. No, I was a young dad. Her mom and I were high school sweethearts, but we separated years ago.
00:22:19And hell, from a train. What are the odds?
00:22:23I could probably do the math.
00:22:25Oh, no. You can't do math. I'm magic.
00:22:26So, are you free right now? I know a place that has a sinister hot chocolate.
00:22:31Oh, the Coco's Graduated from the Inspirited. Sinister.
00:22:37I would love that.
00:22:39Great.
00:22:46Three-year budget. Absolutely not happening.
00:22:50Send revised budget and breakdown at one-fourth the cost?
00:22:55A quarter of the budget? We can't do the festival on that.
00:23:04Oh. Sorry, excuse me one second.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:21Hello? Hello?
00:23:26You've reached Joanna Hammer. Please leave a message.
00:23:31I am so sorry. My daughter just texted me SOS, and now she's not answering her phone.
00:23:36Oh.
00:23:38No, it's okay. She's just at a coffee shop around the corner. Will you wait for me? I'll be right back.
00:23:42I've waited this long. What is a little longer?
00:23:46I'll be right back.
00:23:50Come on.
00:23:58Jo! Hey, you okay?
00:24:01We have a festival emergency.
00:24:03Are you kidding? You texted me SOS and then you didn't respond.
00:24:07Yeah, my phone died.
00:24:09Oh, you gotta charge that thing.
00:24:11That's funny, coming from my dad who can't even find his phone.
00:24:13Okay, maybe it's genetic, but the point is, I thought you were in a ditch.
00:24:16A coffee shop ditch?
00:24:18But this is SOS. Eleanor cut our budget.
00:24:21Okay, yes, but I found Nell. Train Nell, okay?
00:24:25So relax, take a little break. I'll be right back, okay?
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:32Sorry.
00:24:34These are Italian leather.
00:24:36Okay, what can I do?
00:24:38Club soda. Stat. Right.
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:42I just...
00:24:48Oh.
00:24:50Ma'am?
00:24:52Is this your car?
00:24:54Yes, and I know. I just saw it. I need a few more minutes.
00:25:00It's a fire hydrant, ma'am. You need to move your car.
00:25:03Right.
00:25:05But see, I'm waiting for someone.
00:25:07Okay, okay. Yep.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:27Oh no.
00:25:28Oh no.
00:25:47Oh no.
00:25:49Are you serious? You two missed each other again? By like a minute?
00:25:52Hmm.
00:25:54Oh, Joe was texting me from someone else's number.
00:25:57It says, phone died, train still not moving, ETA three question marks.
00:26:04I wonder why she didn't text me.
00:26:07Ah, you know. Fathers and daughters.
00:26:10Yeah. Hopefully she can still make it here tonight. That'd work out.
00:26:15Which is a good segue back to Nell and my story.
00:26:19And he never came back. Maybe this guy just isn't that into me.
00:26:23Or maybe he really did have an emergency. But he lives in town, so you...
00:26:27There's a one in 12,000 chance of me finding him.
00:26:30Oh, so you're saying there's a chance. Ha.
00:26:32Do you know what you should do? Post a misconnection.
00:26:35Nobody reads those.
00:26:37No, she just left. Maybe she's not into me.
00:26:41Or maybe she had to go somewhere.
00:26:44So, be assertive. Find her. Look on socials or post a misconnection.
00:26:49Come on, nobody reads those things.
00:26:53Alright, well, I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a Yule log.
00:26:56Shhh.
00:27:10Looking for my Christmas wish.
00:27:16Shhh.
00:27:25So, this used to be a daytime family festival, but it was so successful,
00:27:29we added dancing for adults at night.
00:27:32Three days to be transformed into Christmas magic.
00:27:34Three days? That seems soon.
00:27:37Think we should start setting up for it?
00:27:39Nah, no worries. It's a well-oiled machine.
00:27:41Hey, come on. You haven't seen the Christmas market yet.
00:27:43You know, this Christmas market is where Nell and I first exchanged numbers ten years ago.
00:27:48Ah, so you finally exchanged numbers.
00:27:50No, Chris, we've been married for eight years and we still communicate by telegram.
00:27:53Come on. But really, I don't get it.
00:27:56You two lived in the same smallish town.
00:27:58Couldn't you have just Googled or Facebooked each other or something?
00:28:00Well, what did I search?
00:28:02Harbour Dave, Train Nell.
00:28:04Good point.
00:28:06So, then, let's hear it.
00:28:08How did you two finally exchange numbers?
00:28:10Well, the universe decided to play matchmaker.
00:28:13Okay, don't forget you have a meeting with Eleanor at four today to go over the festival budget.
00:28:19I will not forget.
00:28:21Hello?
00:28:23Come on in.
00:28:25Hello, Jojo.
00:28:27Hi, Mom.
00:28:29I brought gifts.
00:28:33Okay, bye, Dad.
00:28:35And she's gone.
00:28:37Okay.
00:28:38Anything there for me?
00:28:40Of course. Making the rounds today.
00:28:41Oh, I know a Chloe stress tactic when I see one.
00:28:44Hubby off on another one of his extreme sports adventures.
00:28:47Dan is hella skiing with his brother.
00:28:49Fancy.
00:28:51Come on in.
00:28:53Thanks.
00:28:55So, little birdie told me that you met someone.
00:28:59Tell me everything.
00:29:01Well, I hope I met someone.
00:29:04We met, got separated, met again, got separated again.
00:29:08But, I don't know.
00:29:11Kind of feels like fate.
00:29:13You know I don't believe in fate.
00:29:15But I do.
00:29:17At least I believe everything happens for a reason.
00:29:19Like you and I, you know?
00:29:21We met so that we could bring Jojo into this world.
00:29:23Aw, I think we met so that you could bring me a daily dose of rosy-coloured optimism.
00:29:28So tell me, what is this woman like?
00:29:31Um, well, she's hilarious.
00:29:34Beautiful.
00:29:35She's laid back.
00:29:37You know, she's really go with the flow.
00:29:39So nothing like me.
00:29:41I don't even want to say anything.
00:29:43I don't know. I think I need chill.
00:29:45With someone like me, someone that just plays it loose.
00:29:48I was up all night earmarking the new budget and schedule that David sent.
00:29:52It's a total mess.
00:29:55This festival is going to implode and it's all going to end up on my head as the new hire.
00:30:01Oh, ooh, that's nice.
00:30:03I'll probably lose my job.
00:30:06Why do you always catastrophize?
00:30:08Because I have lived in catastrophe.
00:30:11I came from nothing, had nothing, and I've spent a whole lifetime trying to have some semblance of stability.
00:30:18And now this agent of chaos is putting my job on the line.
00:30:22No, your job will be fine.
00:30:24That's very comforting. Thank you. I like this one.
00:30:28Okay, did you ever write a misconnection to train man?
00:30:30Izzy, no one reads those except for people that hang out on the internet all day.
00:30:35And Dave's not that person?
00:30:37No. Dave strikes me as a very laid-back, can-do guy. You know, very down-to-earth.
00:30:45So he strikes you as the opposite of Eli?
00:30:48Yes. Yes, he does.
00:30:52Hi, I'd like to get this.
00:30:54I don't think you need more chill vibes in your life.
00:30:57If you want my advice, you need more focus.
00:31:00Dave, I've known you since you were 12 years old.
00:31:04You're a good guy to the core, but you are endlessly distractible.
00:31:08Wow.
00:31:10You're a great father and a great carpenter.
00:31:14But when it comes to running your business and finishing the Santa throne, you need to be more focused.
00:31:18And you should probably be with someone who's more focused.
00:31:22Like, really focused. And probably really driven.
00:31:25Thank you for the feedback.
00:31:27I'll try to remember that not all unsolicited advice is criticism.
00:31:30With love.
00:31:32Anyway, on that note, I gotta get going.
00:31:35Someone at the Christmas market is donating some decorations.
00:31:38Yes, I should get out of here.
00:31:40Mrs. Santa has more presents to deliver.
00:31:55I can't believe it. It's you.
00:31:57It's you!
00:31:59Does this make you think that we've just been ships for the last four months, not noticing each other?
00:32:03Oh, no, I would definitely notice you.
00:32:05I'm so sorry about the other day. I had a cocoa missing.
00:32:08I had a car thing.
00:32:10I came back and you weren't there.
00:32:12I came back and you weren't there.
00:32:14Okay, well this time I'm going to take you to the Christmas market.
00:32:17I'm sorry.
00:32:19It's okay.
00:32:20I came back and you weren't there.
00:32:23Okay, well this time I'm going to take your number so that next time we don't meet up by chance.
00:32:28Pros and cons to that.
00:32:34Come on.
00:32:36I think I left my phone in my truck.
00:32:38But it's fine. It's fine. I've got a memory like a steel trap.
00:32:42Are you sure?
00:32:44Oh, yeah. Hit me with those digits and I'll put them in my phone later.
00:32:47Okay. 555.
00:32:50288.
00:32:524617.
00:32:57Easy peasy.
00:32:59You know what? I'm going to get your number just in case.
00:33:01Very forward.
00:33:03555.
00:33:05904.
00:33:079896.
00:33:09Your number seems familiar to me.
00:33:12Yeah, yours seems familiar too.
00:33:17Well, I have a four o'clock. I have to run.
00:33:20No, I have a meeting too, but I'll call you later.
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:31288. 4617.
00:33:33Mugs for sale. Two for twenty. Three for twenty-five.
00:33:364617.
00:33:38Twenty-five dollars helps ten children.
00:33:40Two for six.
00:33:42Two for twenty. Three for twenty-five.
00:33:44Mugs for sale. Two for twenty. Three for twenty-five.
00:33:47It's okay. She got my number.
00:33:51Oh!
00:33:54Please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
00:33:59No!
00:34:11Hey. What's wrong?
00:34:13Oh, just everything.
00:34:15Broke my phone, losing Trane Dave's number.
00:34:17And the festival organizer stood me up for a meeting.
00:34:20Maybe head home for the day.
00:34:22Do anything other than wait by the phone for Dave to call.
00:34:27Or, I am going to send this festival organizer a little email.
00:34:34Oh? Standing me up? Nope.
00:34:47Hey. Hey. How'd the meeting go?
00:34:50What meeting?
00:34:52You forgot? How could you forget?
00:34:55Because I ran into Nell again, and I got excited because she gave me her number.
00:35:00And then I forgot it. And then I forgot the donated decorations.
00:35:03But then I remembered the decorations, but I forgot the meeting.
00:35:06It's okay. I'll head over there right now.
00:35:09Dad, you're an hour late.
00:35:11And Eleanor just emailed threatening to cancel the festival.
00:35:15Oh, come on.
00:35:17It's okay. It's okay. I'll sort it out. Just focus on the positives here.
00:35:21What could possibly be a positive?
00:35:24Nell has my number.
00:35:30Most knitters go to the craft store for their yarn, but I source mine directly from the alpaca farm.
00:35:36Bad news, folks. We can't fix the engines, and the train is inoperable.
00:35:42Unfortunately, we're going to have to ask everyone to get off.
00:35:46I'm sorry.
00:35:50It's nice to meet you.
00:35:56Hey. What's wrong?
00:35:59Oh, just my train's been canceled.
00:36:01What's wrong?
00:36:03Oh, just my train's been canceled, and I'm sitting in a bar in the middle of nowhere, and I'm cold, and I'm tired, and I'm sorry.
00:36:12It's okay, Jay. Let's just focus on getting here. Where are you?
00:36:15I'm in Putney.
00:36:17Isn't that where the fruitcake you told me to bring your folks is made?
00:36:19Oh, yeah. You're right.
00:36:21Okay. Well, I'll come get you. It's only like three hours or something.
00:36:24No, don't. The party's starting soon, and I really want you to be there.
00:36:28I'll find a way home.
00:36:29Find a way home?
00:36:31In time for the party?
00:36:33Ideally.
00:36:35But more likely in time for the festival set up tomorrow.
00:36:39Just please get here before my parents do.
00:36:42That's three days away.
00:36:44Exactly.
00:36:46I'm sorry. Really.
00:36:51How's it going over there? How's family time?
00:36:54It's going great. All good, of course.
00:36:57Call me later, okay?
00:37:04She'll be here soon.
00:37:06Yeah. She's not going to leave you alone with us too much longer.
00:37:09Oh, no. I'm enjoying being with you. I mean, your story is riveting.
00:37:14Oh, well then. Buckle up, pal.
00:37:18So, any word from Trainman?
00:37:21Nope.
00:37:22Well, maybe he forgot your number and is expecting you to call.
00:37:26Maybe.
00:37:29After Eli, it felt impossible to imagine that I would find someone else again.
00:37:34And then, out of nowhere, it felt possible.
00:37:38So put some legwork in. At least attempt a missed connection.
00:37:43Come on.
00:37:45Oh, okay. I'm going to be late.
00:37:52Okay.
00:38:03Looking for my Christmas wish.
00:38:07Nell, it's Dave. I came back to find you, but you weren't there.
00:38:11If you see this, message me.
00:38:17It's right here, right?
00:38:19Yep. Perfect.
00:38:23Dave, how strange. I came on here to write my own missed connection, and I found yours.
00:38:30My phone broke shortly after I took your number, so I couldn't call.
00:38:33I'm assuming you lost mine as well, despite your steel trap of a mind.
00:38:38Steel trap. Lol.
00:38:41I did forget. A thousand apologies. But can I make it up to you?
00:38:46I'm really good at this.
00:38:49I'm hosting a Christmas party tonight. Could you be my date?
00:38:54I would love to. I'll bring the fruitcake.
00:39:01Can't wait. 120 Viscano. Theme is red and green.
00:39:05We did it! We did it!
00:39:11What's happening there, Jojo?
00:39:12Oh, you know, just me getting you the best Christmas present ever.
00:39:17Really?
00:39:19I found Nell.
00:39:21What? No, how?
00:39:23Remember that missed connection that you refused to make?
00:39:26Well, I made it.
00:39:30Okay, wait, isn't that kind of weird? Nell getting a post with my daughter?
00:39:34Um, well.
00:39:36Jo?
00:39:37For the sake of preserving the romance, I might have kind of pretended to be you.
00:39:42Oh, so just mild identity theft?
00:39:45More like good-natured teenage hijinks.
00:39:47How about we just focus on the part where Nell is coming to the party tonight?
00:39:51What? Uh, what am I wearing?
00:39:59Hi, honey!
00:40:01Hey! Merry Christmas!
00:40:04Honey, are you okay?
00:40:05Honey, are you okay?
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:11Why don't you come with us?
00:40:13Yeah, you know, you can tell us anything.
00:40:16Why don't we just head over here, and we can have just a little chat.
00:40:20You're gonna have a little snack.
00:40:22Yeah, but let's talk.
00:40:24Before a snack.
00:40:26Okay, yeah.
00:40:28Talk to us.
00:40:30I know, I know that Jo loves this party, and so I thought it might be a good time to tell her that I love her for the first time.
00:40:44Maybe temper your excitement, because if she's not here, maybe it's not a good idea.
00:40:51Why not?
00:40:53I've never said I love you to anyone before.
00:40:55Oh.
00:40:57But with Jo, I do know. I mean, I always question every decision, which college, which job, which city.
00:41:07But with Jo, I just knew right from the jump.
00:41:12You will find the perfect time to say I love you.
00:41:19Oh, yeah.
00:41:23Yeah, okay.
00:41:25Oh, by the way.
00:41:27Guess who asked us how Dave and I met?
00:41:30Oh, our guy.
00:41:32Where did you leave off?
00:41:34Well, the abbreviated version is.
00:41:56Hi.
00:42:16Now.
00:42:17Dave.
00:42:19Or is it Kay?
00:42:20Belle?
00:42:21Are we not double-taped?
00:42:25That's not the first thing I said, but you look absolutely beautiful.
00:42:34Oh, I did try the Fredo's fruitcake in a mug with the eggnog.
00:42:40Okay, what did you think?
00:42:41I thought that I have not made enough bold, creative decisions in my life, and I am ready for more.
00:42:48Dad, why don't you take the fruitcake from her?
00:42:52I'm so sorry.
00:42:53I'm so sorry.
00:42:55This is Nell, my dog, Joanna.
00:42:57Oh, hi.
00:42:58It's so nice to meet you.
00:42:59It's so nice to meet you, too.
00:43:10It's a good party.
00:43:12Just 50 of your closest friends?
00:43:17Well, this is what a life lived almost entirely in the same town looks like.
00:43:21I wouldn't mind having all of this.
00:43:23All of this what?
00:43:26Belonging.
00:43:29You don't feel like you belong?
00:43:31Not really, no.
00:43:33And I never did, where I am now.
00:43:35You don't feel like you belong?
00:43:37Not really, no.
00:43:39And I never did, where I grew up.
00:43:41I think I felt like I belonged once, with a partner, but that ended soon.
00:43:50Well, for what it's worth, I think you belong here.
00:43:59So, what are you doing tomorrow?
00:44:03Want to help me set up a Christmas festival?
00:44:07What?
00:44:08A Christmas festival.
00:44:09Yeah, my grandpa started it.
00:44:11It's an Amher tradition.
00:44:14Amher?
00:44:16Amher, oh, right.
00:44:17Yeah, that's my last name.
00:44:22Because you are David Amher?
00:44:27Yeah.
00:44:28Yeah.
00:44:30Um, yeah, I will be at the Christmas festival.
00:44:36Um, you know what, I'm not feeling very, very, very well, and I think I have to go home.
00:44:42I'm so sorry.
00:44:46Um, wait a second.
00:44:54What just happened?
00:44:59Thank you so much for this ride.
00:45:02I've been trying to get home for, like, 12 hours.
00:45:05Well, happy to help.
00:45:07And happy to have your company.
00:45:15So, Kristoff's perfect.
00:45:17Yeah, he is.
00:45:19He's sweet and funny and tender.
00:45:23So then, what's wrong?
00:45:25What makes you think something's wrong?
00:45:28Nothing.
00:45:34Well, we've been dating for nine months, and we're getting serious.
00:45:38His parents are joining us for Christmas morning, but we haven't said I love you.
00:45:45And sometimes when he looks at me or says something, it's so obvious.
00:45:51It's like everything he's doing or saying means I love you.
00:45:55And yet, neither of us say it.
00:45:58Why? Do you not love him?
00:45:59No, I do.
00:46:01Or, I think I do.
00:46:06I'm happiest when I'm around him.
00:46:09And when I'm not, I feel...
00:46:12homesick.
00:46:16I've heard that when you know, you know.
00:46:18And I usually know, in all arenas.
00:46:21But in this, I just...
00:46:24I just don't.
00:46:25So how do you know? Do you just feel it?
00:46:28Maybe you should ask your parents.
00:46:30I don't think my parents have the answers.
00:46:34Morning.
00:46:35Morning.
00:46:37May I?
00:46:38Oh, yes, please.
00:46:39How did you enjoy the party?
00:46:42It was great.
00:46:44And only slightly overwhelming, meeting everyone Jo's ever known without having her there.
00:46:49Mmm. Do I sense a whiff of annoyance?
00:46:53Maybe a tiny, imperceptible one.
00:46:56Hmm.
00:46:58It's just...
00:47:00I was the one that asked to come home with Jo for Christmas.
00:47:02And then I was the one that suggested our families meet, so...
00:47:06She doesn't show up, but it just leaves me like I'm feeling like I'm the only one that wants this.
00:47:11Jo wants this.
00:47:13Believe me.
00:47:15But you should talk to her.
00:47:18You should tell her everything.
00:47:20Yeah. Maybe.
00:47:23But for now, I would love to hear the rest of the Dave and Nell saga.
00:47:29Oh, um...
00:47:31Yes. Okay.
00:47:32So...
00:47:33After the big revelation...
00:47:38So Dave is David.
00:47:41And David is Dave.
00:47:43And you find that shocking?
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:46Because they're two completely different men.
00:47:48Dave is assertive and charming, and David is contentious and chaotic.
00:47:55Well, sometimes we can see people for who we want them to be instead of who they are.
00:47:59And when those two people don't align, we're disappointed.
00:48:02Ring a bell?
00:48:04I know what I did with Eli, okay?
00:48:08The point is, is if David is actually Dave, I don't think we're a match.
00:48:15And maybe you're not.
00:48:16And maybe you're not.
00:48:18But you should talk to him about it.
00:48:22Nell, he's gonna find out.
00:48:23You still need to work on the festival together.
00:48:26You're still working with him on the festival, right?
00:48:31I may have slightly ghosted.
00:48:36Nell just left.
00:48:37We're having a moment, and she just bolts, Cinderella style.
00:48:42Did I say something wrong? I mean, was my breath bad?
00:48:46Or did she just realize she actually doesn't like me?
00:48:48Or maybe it was a big emotional moment and she got scared.
00:48:53No.
00:48:54Why don't you just call her?
00:48:56Maybe because I still don't have her number?
00:48:59Then get it. Just go for it. Be assertive.
00:49:03And while you're at it, finish the chair.
00:49:07I'm working on it.
00:49:10I also realize I'm kind of worried about finishing it.
00:49:12Maybe I won't do Grandpa Jack and Dad proud, and maybe I'm not up for it.
00:49:17You're up for it, so finish.
00:49:20I'm sure Nell is gonna reach out and give you an explanation.
00:49:24But for now, let's just focus on the festival.
00:49:27Has Eleanor responded to any of your emails?
00:49:29We're supposed to start setting up today.
00:49:31No. Eleanor has ghosted me.
00:49:35You know what? I'm gonna take my new assertive self and head down to her office.
00:49:39And I will join you.
00:49:42In case the situation requires mediation.
00:49:45Which it most definitely will.
00:49:49Hello.
00:49:50Hi. Can I help you?
00:49:51We are here to see Eleanor Spear.
00:49:53Do you have a meeting scheduled?
00:49:55No.
00:49:57Dad, did you not let Eleanor know we were coming?
00:50:00About the surprise, we'll give her the upper hand.
00:50:04Could you please let Eleanor know that David Ammer from the Christmas festival is here?
00:50:07I just transferred her a call, but you can sit and wait.
00:50:11Is there a restroom I could use?
00:50:12Of course. Straight down the hall, take a left.
00:50:15No worries.
00:50:22No. For sure. I'm on top of it.
00:50:25I understand. Absolutely.
00:50:29We are on the same page.
00:50:32Well, let's regroup in the new year and we can discuss then.
00:50:37Merry Christmas to you two.
00:50:41We have to go.
00:50:42What? Why?
00:50:43I just suddenly feel weird.
00:50:44Are you sick? Do you have a fever?
00:50:46We have to go right now!
00:50:54I thought you said someone was here to see me.
00:50:56There was. David Ammer from the Christmas festival.
00:51:05So Dave showed up?
00:51:07Yes.
00:51:08And then he must have put two and two together and then left.
00:51:12Alright, well then just reach out and clear this up like adults.
00:51:17Or I could just disappear.
00:51:21Girl, this is becoming a habit. You just disappeared from your own life.
00:51:25You quit your job, moved, head out here all to avoid heartbreak.
00:51:29No.
00:51:31It's that I just wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere again.
00:51:38And then for a minute, I did feel that.
00:51:44Oh, no.
00:51:47Just email Dave.
00:51:50Okay, I gotta head to a meeting.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:05Hey Dave.
00:52:06So, funny story.
00:52:09You and I actually hate each other.
00:52:14But is that a funny story?
00:52:17No, no.
00:52:18Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete.
00:52:25Hey Dave.
00:52:26I think we should talk about how we hate each other.
00:52:35But do we really hate each other?
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:45Hey Dave.
00:52:50Hey now, can we meet?
00:52:52Well, that's a better opener.
00:52:56Yes, let's meet.
00:53:26Um, hi.
00:53:32This is incredible.
00:53:34But will we get it all done in two days?
00:53:36We'll see.
00:53:37It's controlled chaos.
00:53:38It's a well-oiled machine.
00:53:41Oh, what time is the fire marshal coming for the inspection?
00:53:45You never book the inspection?
00:53:47I did forget.
00:53:48It's fine.
00:53:49Listen, I will call.
00:53:50I'm just kidding.
00:53:51No, you don't have to call. I'll give you guys your responsibilities.
00:53:52I did.
00:53:53Go over here, anywhere else.
00:53:56Okay.
00:54:07I'm so happy to see you.
00:54:08Oh, I'm so happy to see you.
00:54:10I feel like we've been separated for days.
00:54:12I felt like weeks on my end.
00:54:15Was it that bad with the fam?
00:54:17No, no, it's been great.
00:54:18They're giving me the Christmas I begged my entire childhood for.
00:54:21And I genuinely like your folks.
00:54:23I feel like family.
00:54:26Ah, sorry, I missed my train.
00:54:28Oh, no, no.
00:54:29It's all right, as long as it wasn't on purpose.
00:54:32What's that supposed to mean?
00:54:34Nothing, nothing, nothing. I'm just kidding.
00:54:36By the way, before your phone died,
00:54:38you warned me to not, under any circumstances, ask your folks...
00:54:41What?
00:54:42Oh, ask them how they met.
00:54:46You asked them how they met.
00:54:48You bet I did.
00:54:49And they liked me a thousand times more for it, so...
00:54:52Oh, how far into the story are you?
00:54:54Oh, I'm just at the point where you've lured Nell into a coffee shop
00:54:57under the false pretenses of being your dad.
00:55:00Well, someone had to be an adult.
00:55:02So, what happened?
00:55:05Well...
00:55:07So...
00:55:09I've been emailing with you, pretending I'm my dad.
00:55:19So, the missed connections.
00:55:20All me.
00:55:21All me.
00:55:22And your dad doesn't know you're here?
00:55:25No.
00:55:27And he also doesn't know that you're Eleanor Spear, town controller.
00:55:33Got it.
00:55:36But what if he did?
00:55:38I'm not sure.
00:55:39I mean, you two have, like, struggled to work together.
00:55:42That is a gentle euphemism for what happened.
00:55:44Your dad and I have butt heads at every turn.
00:55:47But when you're together as Dave and Nell, it's magic, right?
00:55:52Yes.
00:55:54But maybe it's always magic in the beginning, in the honeymoon phase, you know,
00:55:57before you really know each other.
00:56:01Sorry, ignore my cynicism.
00:56:03I've had my heart broken.
00:56:05You are young and love is easy and perfect.
00:56:08I'll hold you to that.
00:56:09Please don't.
00:56:11But with you and my dad, don't opposites attract?
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:17But it can also make for a difficult life together.
00:56:21Your dad and I just might be too different.
00:56:27Please, just give him a chance.
00:56:30Yeah, he's scatterbrained, but he is such a good guy.
00:56:34And he's the best dad.
00:56:37Just talk to him.
00:56:40Okay.
00:56:42Okay.
00:56:45Okay.
00:56:47How?
00:56:49Leave all the arrangements to me.
00:57:01Hi.
00:57:03Hi.
00:57:09Thought I would try this again.
00:57:14Gabe.
00:57:15Belle.
00:57:16And Fredo's.
00:57:21You know, I thought I wasn't going to see you again.
00:57:25And that this time would be on purpose.
00:57:29I'm sorry.
00:57:30I want to explain.
00:57:36It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
00:57:38No rush.
00:57:40How about I give you a tour of the festival first?
00:57:46That would be nice.
00:57:48Yeah.
00:57:51So, trying to recreate the festival that I grew up in.
00:57:55Recreate the festival that my dad grew up in.
00:57:58Share that emerald feeling of belonging.
00:58:02Yeah, I guess so.
00:58:06But honestly, I'm kind of doubting I can pull it off.
00:58:11I'm not exactly the most organized.
00:58:17Maybe not.
00:58:19But you were clearly pouring your heart into this.
00:58:23And I wish I would have understood that from the start.
00:58:29The start of what?
00:58:30Oh, you know, the start of knowing you.
00:58:34You know, you want to front load the backstory, right?
00:58:37I'm not really following.
00:58:39I wouldn't expect you to.
00:58:41Well, what about you?
00:58:43What did Nell's childhood Christmases look like?
00:58:47Bittersweet.
00:58:49My family didn't have a lot of discretionary spending,
00:58:52so we just kind of cobbled it together.
00:58:56And I think it affected a lot of my life choices.
00:59:00I studied finance, worked at a bank,
00:59:02chased security, stability.
00:59:06But passion, purpose, belonging,
00:59:13that's not something I prioritized until it was too late.
00:59:18Oh, it's not too late.
00:59:20It is still very, very early.
00:59:26So, can I put you to work?
00:59:29Yeah.
00:59:32Either he took the news well, or...
00:59:35I didn't tell him.
00:59:38Look, I'm working up to it. I promise.
00:59:43Come on, Jojo. Let's get home.
00:59:46Hey, no one's around.
00:59:47Now's the time.
00:59:49Cute.
00:59:51See ya. Bye.
00:59:56Okay.
01:00:01Hey.
01:00:02Hey.
01:00:05So, uh...
01:00:08I wanted to explain why I ran away from your party.
01:00:13Right. Is it me?
01:00:14I mean, I know I can come on a little strong sometimes.
01:00:16I just, I get excited about things and I just...
01:00:18No, no, no, no, no, no. It wasn't you.
01:00:21Please do not think that. It was, it was me.
01:00:25And it's okay. I'm excited too.
01:00:28Yeah?
01:00:29Yeah.
01:00:30You know, for a while now I've been telling myself that I'd be okay being alone.
01:00:33And I would be, but also I don't want to be.
01:00:37I want to share this with my person.
01:00:39Me too.
01:00:40Me too.
01:00:41I told myself that life was just going to be this steady, known, plodding, and that would be fine.
01:00:51And since meeting you, life feels unknown, but in the very best way.
01:01:03I guess what I'm saying is...
01:01:06I really like you.
01:01:07I do, and this feels different.
01:01:11Yeah.
01:01:14It feels different.
01:01:19We had this perfect romantic moment.
01:01:21And?
01:01:22And it felt meant to be.
01:01:27Like...
01:01:29Destiny.
01:01:31Wow, girl, you're sprung.
01:01:33What happened to the girl who was white knuckle clutching to a life alone?
01:01:36She fell for someone, or at least part of someone.
01:01:41Wait, does that mean you...
01:01:43Yeah, I didn't tell him.
01:01:56Hey.
01:01:57Hey.
01:01:58Dad, you finished it?
01:02:00Yeah, I'm feeling so motivated.
01:02:02We got working on it all night after Nell and I left the festival.
01:02:06Um, amazing.
01:02:08Yeah, about that.
01:02:09Did Nell tell you anything interesting?
01:02:12Everything she tells me is interesting.
01:02:15Okay, but did she maybe tell you what she does for a living?
01:02:19Uh, no, actually, but I think she used to be in finance.
01:02:24My guess is she probably still does.
01:02:28Dad, about Nell...
01:02:30What about Nell?
01:02:32Just...
01:02:38I really like her.
01:02:40And I hope she is who she seems to be.
01:02:44Oh, Jojo.
01:02:46No one's who they seem to be.
01:02:48There's beauty in that.
01:02:50People unfold in the most unexpected ways.
01:03:01Hey.
01:03:02Hey.
01:03:03Do you want to decorate a gingerbread house?
01:03:05Oh, sure.
01:03:07You know, this will actually be the first gingerbread house I've ever decorated.
01:03:11Poor boy.
01:03:13It's a good thing you have me.
01:03:15Okay, so what amenities should our gingerbread house have?
01:03:21Huh, um...
01:03:23Definitely a gumdrop roof.
01:03:26Like Candy O's can lie in for stargazing.
01:03:28I dig it.
01:03:30What else?
01:03:31Oh, a candy cane picket fence to keep the, uh, ginger dog in.
01:03:35A ginger doodle, of course.
01:03:38And then maybe...
01:03:42Some extra space for the, uh, little gingerbreads?
01:03:48Like...
01:03:50Cookie kits?
01:03:52Yeah.
01:03:54I mean, I hope so, some day.
01:03:57Oh.
01:03:59Jo.
01:04:00Um, I think by the...
01:04:06That is not how I saw that going.
01:04:12Yeah.
01:04:14That's not how I saw it going either.
01:04:17I'm gonna go get you some napkins.
01:04:26Hey.
01:04:28Are you okay? Oh.
01:04:31Yeah, yeah, no, I think I'm good.
01:04:34No, I, uh...
01:04:37I think I have whiplash from Jo running off.
01:04:40Well, I know she didn't know what you were gonna say.
01:04:43Oh, no, no, no, she knew.
01:04:45I could see it on her face. She knew and she rejected me.
01:04:49And, uh...
01:04:51And this is the worst feeling ever?
01:04:54Oh, I'm sorry, Chris.
01:04:57If she did run, I know it's because of fear and not rejection.
01:05:01And I also know that it doesn't make it any less hard.
01:05:06And that worst feeling that you're talking about, trust me, I know it very well.
01:05:17Wow, that is beautiful!
01:05:20Who made that?
01:05:21Well, my grandpa started it and my dad added to it.
01:05:26Then I restored it.
01:05:28Another sacred amour tradition.
01:05:31It's gorgeous.
01:05:33Daunting fact, I've been working on it for 15 years.
01:05:36What?
01:05:37Yeah, I wasn't able to finish it until I met you.
01:05:44And why do you think that is?
01:05:46I think you make me want to finish things.
01:05:52Um, I have to talk to you about something that's really important.
01:05:58Okay.
01:06:00Uh, you know the town comptroller, Eleanor?
01:06:05Yeah, Ugg.
01:06:07Ugg?
01:06:08Major Ugg. I mean, I want to give her the benefit of the doubt,
01:06:11but she's made every step of this festival as difficult and tedious as possible.
01:06:15Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do you think that is?
01:06:19Uh, because I think she gets pleasure out of sucking the joy out of things.
01:06:23I'm sorry, look, I'm sorry. I'm being mean and I hate myself for it.
01:06:28Honestly, I feel sorry for her.
01:06:32And why is that?
01:06:36Well, anyone who acts like that has to be hurting in some way.
01:06:41Or lonely.
01:06:42Because without that, I mean, she's just inherently unlikable.
01:06:54Maybe she is.
01:06:56Yeah.
01:06:58Yep. And maybe you should, you know, take some responsibility for the first time in your life.
01:07:13Come on.
01:07:15Good afternoon.
01:07:17Uh, hey. David Hammer. Spoke on the phone.
01:07:20Hey. Is Eleanor Spear around?
01:07:22She told me to report directly to her with my inspection results.
01:07:25Of course she did.
01:07:27Uh, no. No, she's not here.
01:07:30I've actually been having some problems tracking Eleanor down.
01:07:33Oh, no worries. Basically, this festival is one giant fire hazard.
01:07:38I can't sign these permits.
01:07:39What?
01:07:41Oh, come on. We open tomorrow.
01:07:43I'm sorry. No, I...
01:07:46Hey, where did you go?
01:07:49Good luck with that, David.
01:07:54What?
01:08:04Hey.
01:08:06You and Chris okay?
01:08:07I'm not sure.
01:08:09I feel like it's always been so smooth and easy between us, and now it feels like it's falling apart.
01:08:17What's going on, Jojo?
01:08:20Chris tried to say, I love you, and I ran off.
01:08:28Oof.
01:08:29Yeah.
01:08:30Yeah.
01:08:32Well, why'd you run?
01:08:35Why'd you run?
01:08:37Do you not love him?
01:08:39No, I do.
01:08:41Or, I think I do.
01:08:44How do I know? How do you know when you know?
01:08:50How did you and Nell know?
01:08:54Oh.
01:08:55So, you gravely insulted him and then you skulked off?
01:08:59He gravely insulted me first.
01:09:01He called me joyless and unlikable.
01:09:05Which, maybe I am. I mean, isn't that what Eli said about me?
01:09:10Nell, you're full of joy. Easy to like, and even easier to love.
01:09:19And to be fair, Dave's experience with Eleanor is of someone who tried to make his life difficult.
01:09:25But it seems like Dave's experience with Nell is someone who...
01:09:29Who what?
01:09:31Made him feel like he belongs, even though he doesn't mean it.
01:09:34Aww.
01:09:36See girl, you and Dave have something special.
01:09:39And maybe it's a forever thing.
01:09:40And maybe it's a four in hell thing.
01:09:42And maybe it's just fate's way of nudging you both out of complacency and in the right direction.
01:09:47But it's something.
01:09:49So go tell him the truth before something else goes wrong.
01:09:52Something else has gone wrong.
01:09:54What?
01:09:56He's way over budget.
01:10:02Hey.
01:10:06You're back.
01:10:08Again.
01:10:10Just like Christmas.
01:10:12What happened?
01:10:15I'm going to tell you everything.
01:10:19But before I do, I just wanted to say that I know we haven't known each other for that long.
01:10:25But I feel like we've known each other for a long time.
01:10:28For that long.
01:10:30But I feel like we know each other better than we think we do.
01:10:36I guess what I'm trying to say is...
01:10:40I like you, too.
01:10:44A lot.
01:10:46And when I am with you, I feel both this profound excitement and also this quiet trust.
01:10:56You make me feel vulnerable, yet comfortable.
01:11:01Terrified, yet...
01:11:02Good news!
01:11:04You passed inspection.
01:11:05Yes!
01:11:06Oh, and Eleanor, you're here, too.
01:11:07So I can just hand you the report.
01:11:11Hand Eleanor the report?
01:11:15Wait, you're Eleanor Spear?
01:11:18I'll, uh, walk myself out.
01:11:22How long have you known who I am?
01:11:24Look, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
01:11:26How long have you known who I am?
01:11:28This is what I've been trying to tell you.
01:11:32Since your Christmas party.
01:11:36That long?
01:11:38And you...
01:11:40You just dragged it out, what, to make me look like a fool?
01:11:42No, that is not...
01:11:43Yes, it is.
01:11:44That is not what I did.
01:11:45You let me keep courting you.
01:11:46You let me pour my heart out.
01:11:48How could you do that to me? I...
01:11:50I know.
01:11:51I would never do that to you.
01:11:53I know. I know.
01:11:54And I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry.
01:11:58Just please hear me out.
01:12:00I was... I was scared to tell you.
01:12:03Scared to tell me what?
01:12:05I was scared that David and Eleanor could never be together.
01:12:14Maybe they can't.
01:12:16Maybe they can't.
01:12:20I mean, this entire time, this entire time, I thought the universe was sending me signs that we were supposed to be together.
01:12:28And if anything, I think it's just trying to keep us apart.
01:12:30I don't think...
01:12:31You know what? Because maybe we don't work.
01:12:38Maybe we don't walk.
01:12:46I love you.
01:12:50Uh, yeah, that's great. Um, I'll talk to Dave.
01:13:02What's going on with us?
01:13:04Come on, Jo, you know.
01:13:06No.
01:13:09Alright.
01:13:11Yesterday while making the gingerbread house, did you know what I was going to say?
01:13:16Yeah, I knew.
01:13:18And why didn't you want me to say it?
01:13:21Because I'm scared.
01:13:23Because I feel like I'm supposed to say it back, like I'm supposed to also know.
01:13:27You don't know?
01:13:31You know everything else in your life, but not this, I'm the only thing that you're uncertain about?
01:13:42I think it's best if I just head back to the city.
01:13:46I'll tell my parents not to come for Christmas morning.
01:13:48Yes.
01:14:02Thanks, honey.
01:14:04Oh, why aren't you dressed?
01:14:06I'm not going.
01:14:09Chris is gone.
01:14:11Oh, sweetheart.
01:14:12Oh, honey. I'm so sorry.
01:14:16Are you okay? How are you feeling?
01:14:19Like there's a giant hole in my chest and my heart is going to fall out.
01:14:26And then there's this other feeling.
01:14:30Yeah, what is it?
01:14:32It's...
01:14:37Annoying.
01:14:38Annoying.
01:14:41Because I kept wondering, how do you know when you know?
01:14:46But now I know and I know because I lost him.
01:14:49Come here. Come here.
01:14:52It's going to be okay.
01:14:54You know, not knowing can be scary.
01:14:57Yeah.
01:14:58Sometimes knowing can be more terrifying.
01:15:01Because your life starts taking shape in a way that you never imagined.
01:15:04And yes, that is scary.
01:15:07But it's also beautiful.
01:15:09Right?
01:15:12Hey, come on.
01:15:14We're going to be late. All right? You go upstairs and get dressed. It'll be okay.
01:15:16Yeah.
01:15:17It's okay.
01:15:18It looks...
01:15:20Hey, all couples fight, right?
01:15:24It's not the end, even though it feels like it.
01:15:28Believe me, we had a feeling really well.
01:15:32Yeah.
01:15:34Yeah.
01:15:43Hey, are you doing okay?
01:15:46Did you know?
01:15:48Yeah.
01:15:50I figured it out when we went to our office.
01:15:53I should have told you. I'm sorry. I...
01:15:55No, no, no. Don't apologize.
01:15:58I should have never been involved with this.
01:16:01I need to be more of an adult.
01:16:02You are an adult, Dad.
01:16:04I'm also a mess.
01:16:05No, you're not.
01:16:08Yeah, so you misplace things and you forget appointments.
01:16:12But you're also always there for the people you love.
01:16:16So who cares if you can't find your phone?
01:16:21It's in my pocket.
01:16:22See? That's growth.
01:16:28You'll figure it out.
01:16:29Thanks, kiddo.
01:16:31But right now, you've got a festival to run.
01:16:34Right. Let's get back to it.
01:16:35Here, help me out.
01:16:49Do I really have to be here?
01:16:51The mayor said all hands on deck.
01:16:53Dave does not want me here.
01:16:55You don't know that.
01:16:56Yes, I do.
01:16:58I feel terrible for being here.
01:17:00I mean, look at these happy faces.
01:17:02Look how magical this is.
01:17:05And to think that I almost stood in his way.
01:17:07I almost killed Christmas.
01:17:09Here we go.
01:17:11Wow.
01:17:13This is magical.
01:17:18Why? Because I pulled it off?
01:17:20Stop being so disparaging. You did good.
01:17:23You're making a lot of people happy.
01:17:25And you continued the tradition so Joe could do the same.
01:17:30So the question is, if everything looks so wonderful, why do you look so sad?
01:17:37Because.
01:17:40Because I miss her.
01:17:42Go find her.
01:17:43No, I don't know. Maybe we don't work.
01:17:45I mean, maybe we are just too different.
01:17:47But at least you find out.
01:17:53Yeah.
01:17:54Yeah, no, yeah, you're right.
01:17:56How are you going to find her?
01:17:58Just go talk to him.
01:18:00Izzy, I tried. He was not receptive at all.
01:18:04So then try again.
01:18:05At this point, you have nothing left to lose but Dave himself.
01:18:08Right, you're right.
01:18:11How are you going to find him?
01:18:14Fate.
01:18:15Determination.
01:18:30Determination.
01:18:56Hey, I'm looking for you.
01:18:58I'm looking for you.
01:19:00You okay, sweetie?
01:19:01Any word from Chris?
01:19:03No.
01:19:04I think he's long gone.
01:19:07Well, then go after him.
01:19:10Yeah, go after him.
01:19:13Trust us on this.
01:19:14You will not forgive yourself if you don't.
01:19:29If I was Dave, where would I be?
01:19:35Oh, come on. If I was Nell, where would I be?
01:19:47I was wrong.
01:19:49You do take responsibility.
01:19:51All of this.
01:19:52All of this.
01:19:53All of this.
01:19:54All of this.
01:19:55All of this.
01:19:56You do take responsibility.
01:19:58All of this.
01:19:59All of it.
01:20:00Is you taking responsibility to bring people joy, and I love it.
01:20:05I want it.
01:20:06I want that in my life.
01:20:10Look, I am so sorry.
01:20:12I don't think you're unlikable.
01:20:14If anything, I think you are terrifyingly, unbelievably likable.
01:20:20And I don't think the universe is trying to keep us apart.
01:20:22I think it was waiting for us to make a decision.
01:20:25And when it did, it was going to move heaven and earth to make us happy.
01:20:28Look, I understand we are at the beginning, and sometimes I can come on a little strong.
01:20:32I just, I have this feeling that...
01:20:35You're my fate.
01:20:38Well, I was going to say we belong, but...
01:20:42I like your line, too.
01:20:56The world feels upside down
01:21:00You turn it back around
01:21:03Through wind and snow
01:21:05You are my northern star
01:21:10Baby, baby, turn on the Christmas tree
01:21:14Take me home and set me free
01:21:17A blanket's good, but your love's even better
01:21:23Baby, baby, put on the classic songs
01:21:27You make me wanna sing along
01:21:30Your heart's good, making me remember
01:21:35It's gonna be sweet
01:21:38I said I got scared because I wasn't sure that I knew.
01:21:41But I know.
01:21:43I've always known.
01:21:45And maybe I haven't said it out loud, but I meant it.
01:21:49And every day that I've spent with you,
01:21:52every touch, every word that I've uttered,
01:21:55it was really just another way of saying...
01:21:58I love you.
01:22:01I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
01:22:06I love you, too.
01:22:10Baby, baby, turn on the Christmas tree
01:22:14Take me home and set me free
01:22:17A blanket's good, but your love's even better
01:22:21I love you so much.
01:22:24Anne, I have a great idea I want to pitch you.
01:22:27You do?
01:22:28A summer festival.
01:22:30It's gonna be sweet
01:22:32December
01:22:34December
01:22:36Oh, it's gonna be you
01:22:38Merry Christmas! Welcome to the Hammer House.
01:22:40Dave, Nell, these are my parents, Mike and Mary.
01:22:43Very nice to meet you.
01:22:44Hi, so nice to meet you.
01:22:46Merry Christmas!
01:22:54Oh, do you like fruitcake?
01:22:55I can't say I've ever had fruitcake.
01:22:57Yeah, me neither.
01:22:58Oh, do you want to try it stuffed in a mug?
01:23:00Soaked with eggnog?
01:23:01I think we should take it one step at a time.
01:23:03He gets very excited.
01:23:04That's fair.
01:23:05Yeah.
01:23:06We'll go grab it.
