00:00:10 Morning, Evan.
00:00:20 Donut?
00:00:20 >> Yes, thanks, Lila.
00:00:22 [MUSIC]
00:00:24 Here, let me get that for you.
00:00:25 >> Thank you.
00:00:26 >> Mm-hm.
00:00:26 [MUSIC]
00:00:29 >> Morning.
00:00:31 >> Thank you.
00:00:32 >> You're welcome.
00:00:33 >> Yes, any of the cream-filled kind?
00:00:36 >> Of course.
00:00:39 >> I got you.
00:00:40 >> Thanks.
00:00:41 >> Thank you.
00:00:43 >> Thank you.
00:00:45 >> You're welcome.
00:00:45 >> Don't forget to get one for yourself.
00:00:47 >> Never.
00:00:47 [MUSIC]
00:00:52 >> Perfect timing.
00:00:52 >> Hungry?
00:00:53 >> Yes, but the board's all here already.
00:00:55 >> Okay.
00:00:56 Wait, take these to the break room.
00:00:58 >> Yes, okay.
00:00:58 >> Thank you.
00:01:01 Audience feedback has been very positive so
00:01:03 far with the Christmas Carol production.
00:01:05 We have three more weeks in the smaller theater with that show.
00:01:08 And then after Thanksgiving weekend, we will be in final preparations for
00:01:12 the Nutcracker in the Grand Theater.
00:01:15 >> Good.
00:01:15 Sales could be stronger overall.
00:01:18 We're lagging by 30% compared to last year.
00:01:21 >> Well, I think that- >> This really is not a criticism of
00:01:24 your performance, Lila.
00:01:25 But we need additional measures.
00:01:28 >> Okay, well, from what I've seen in rehearsal,
00:01:32 the Nutcracker is going to be spectacular.
00:01:34 >> Wonderful.
00:01:36 However, I have decided to take this a step further and bring somebody in to
00:01:42 fill the vacancy that Marty left when he retired as marketing director.
00:01:46 >> Okay, that's great.
00:01:47 >> His name is Glenn McCornish.
00:01:48 >> Send him in.
00:01:50 >> Glenn has recently returned local to our area, and in my opinion,
00:01:55 the powerhouse we need to just infuse energy into our ticket sales.
00:01:59 [MUSIC]
00:02:01 >> Glenn, welcome.
00:02:02 >> Hi, glad to be here.
00:02:03 Thank you.
00:02:04 >> So you probably recognize some of our board members, especially Trent Davis,
00:02:08 Elaine Morley, and Lila Ramsey, our fairly new theater manager.
00:02:12 >> It's a pleasure.
00:02:15 >> Now, I know that the ink is barely dry on your contract, but
00:02:18 we've been talking about your purpose here and our numbers for the holiday season.
00:02:21 So do you have some ideas you'd like to share?
00:02:24 >> Actually, I do.
00:02:25 May I?
00:02:26 >> Please.
00:02:27 >> I'm sure you'll recognize her, Flora Shelley Haynes.
00:02:31 I recommend that she be our guest ballerina at the Nutcracker.
00:02:34 >> This late?
00:02:36 We already have all the parts cast.
00:02:38 >> Then we shuffle them around.
00:02:39 I know it's a hassle, but it'll be worth it.
00:02:42 If I can market her as a sugar pump fairy, the theater will have a record turnout.
00:02:46 >> Well, how are we ever going to get Flora Shelley Haynes to agree to this,
00:02:51 especially this late in the season?
00:02:53 >> I've pulled some strings.
00:02:55 All I need now is the green light here on the extra cost.
00:02:58 [MUSIC]
00:03:03 >> What do you think?
00:03:04 >> Yeah, I like it.
00:03:06 >> Well, you have it.
00:03:10 >> Excellent.
00:03:12 >> Thank you, everyone.
00:03:14 That'll be all.
00:03:15 [MUSIC]
00:03:17 >> Thank you.
00:03:17 These are no good now.
00:03:22 We're gonna have to reprint these to show off Flora Shelley Haynes.
00:03:25 >> But they just came in.
00:03:26 >> That's a shame.
00:03:28 Such a waste.
00:03:31 >> Are you all right?
00:03:34 >> Glenn McCornish, of all people.
00:03:39 He came on a bit strong, but I thought his idea was interesting.
00:03:42 >> Don't praise him.
00:03:43 >> Wait, do you know him?
00:03:45 >> Unfortunately.
00:03:47 >> How?
00:03:48 >> High school.
00:03:50 He was horrible back then, constantly pulling pranks on me.
00:03:53 One time, he put dye in my soda and it turned my teeth and
00:03:57 mouth black for three days.
00:03:58 >> That's really bad.
00:04:01 >> That's not funny.
00:04:02 Did you see what he said about the Flyers?
00:04:05 It's like he's trying to spite me.
00:04:07 >> Well, what are you gonna do about it?
00:04:09 I mean, you can't hold a grudge and work together.
00:04:11 It's been years, so maybe now is the time to let it go.
00:04:15 >> You're right, and I have.
00:04:18 But it doesn't mean I have to be all buddy-buddy with him.
00:04:20 >> Right, well, what do you want me to do with these Flyers, then?
00:04:23 >> Give them to Glenn.
00:04:25 [MUSIC]
00:04:29 >> We're gonna need a little more for the set pieces.
00:04:31 >> Really?
00:04:32 >> Tobias wants spectacular.
00:04:34 >> I want on budget.
00:04:35 Do you have a pen?
00:04:37 Thank you.
00:04:38 Can you make it work if you cut these two line items in half?
00:04:44 >> If I repurpose some materials from the fall show.
00:04:46 >> Okay, go ahead.
00:04:47 >> Thanks, Steve.
00:04:48 [MUSIC]
00:04:53 >> Hi.
00:04:54 >> Hi.
00:04:55 >> Wait, wait.
00:04:56 I didn't mean to step on Anita's back there with the board.
00:04:59 >> Tell that to the ballet director.
00:05:00 I'm talking to him next about casting.
00:05:02 >> I'm just looking out for what's best for the theater.
00:05:04 >> And I'm not.
00:05:05 >> Okay, let's back up.
00:05:07 Hi, Lila.
00:05:09 It's nice to see you again.
00:05:10 >> That's it?
00:05:13 >> What?
00:05:14 >> I had to endure high school with you and that's all you have to say?
00:05:17 >> We didn't date, did we?
00:05:21 [MUSIC]
00:05:31 >> Smells good, Amy.
00:05:41 >> Thanks.
00:05:44 >> You're both cooking.
00:05:46 >> You're here on time even.
00:05:48 >> Lacey and Lila's here, honey.
00:05:50 >> I told you I would be, but I do have to go back to the theater after intermission
00:05:55 and check on a few things.
00:05:56 >> Well, I hope you are hungry.
00:05:57 We are trying new recipes.
00:05:59 >> Yum.
00:06:00 >> You came.
00:06:02 >> How was your day?
00:06:04 >> Good, we got out the Christmas tree.
00:06:06 Mom and Dad said that I can start decorating.
00:06:08 >> Already?
00:06:09 >> She's been wearing us down earlier every year.
00:06:10 >> I see who's in charge here.
00:06:14 How was work?
00:06:15 >> Do you remember Glenn McCornish?
00:06:17 >> No.
00:06:19 >> From high school?
00:06:20 It was after you graduated, but he was the one who tormented me.
00:06:23 >> Right, that guy, yeah.
00:06:27 >> Yeah, the theater just hired him as our new marketing director.
00:06:30 >> No.
00:06:32 >> So that was my day.
00:06:33 >> Sorry.
00:06:34 >> Well, did he apologize at all?
00:06:36 >> He didn't even recognize me.
00:06:38 Well, he kind of did, but no, no apologies, nothing.
00:06:42 >> Just all smiles like we were old pals.
00:06:45 >> Unbelievable.
00:06:46 [MUSIC]
00:06:54 >> Hey, guys.
00:06:56 >> Good, you're here.
00:06:57 >> I came as soon as I could.
00:06:59 What's wrong?
00:07:00 >> My mouth guard fell down the drain.
00:07:03 >> That's no good.
00:07:03 Hey, Dad.
00:07:05 Is that my Christmas present?
00:07:09 Just checking.
00:07:13 It looks good.
00:07:13 Whoever gets it's lucky.
00:07:14 >> Mine?
00:07:18 I still have it.
00:07:18 It's over there.
00:07:19 You think I'd lose that?
00:07:22 It's my favorite scarf.
00:07:23 >> I grind my teeth if I don't have this thing.
00:07:27 And then my dentist gets all in it for us.
00:07:29 I tell him, at my age, me having teeth at all should be the benchmark.
00:07:34 >> Let me take a look.
00:07:34 [MUSIC]
00:07:39 >> How was your first day?
00:07:41 >> It was good.
00:07:43 >> Were the people nice at the theater?
00:07:44 >> Yeah, mostly.
00:07:45 >> Mm-hm.
00:07:47 >> Hey, do you remember Lila Ramsey?
00:07:49 >> Mm, no.
00:07:52 >> She and I were in the same classes in school, a lot.
00:07:56 >> An old friend?
00:07:57 >> No, she didn't really appreciate my sense of humor back then.
00:08:03 >> Well, kids will be kids.
00:08:05 I'm sure she realizes that now.
00:08:06 >> I wish.
00:08:09 Today I pretended like I didn't remember how things were.
00:08:12 That might have made things worse.
00:08:15 >> You know, your father was the kindest soul when we were kids.
00:08:21 I, on the other hand, was a handful.
00:08:23 I chased him all over the playground.
00:08:26 >> A bit of a flirt, Mom?
00:08:27 >> No, I yelled at him a lot.
00:08:30 It's a miracle he realized I secretly liked him.
00:08:33 >> Yeah, that's not what it was like between Mom and me.
00:08:38 >> Well, maybe a good old apology is all that's in order.
00:08:42 It never hurts to say sorry.
00:08:43 >> Got it.
00:08:46 >> Wonderful.
00:08:49 >> You'll wash this, right?
00:08:51 >> Yes.
00:08:52 >> Mom, Mom, not here, no.
00:08:56 >> Sorry.
00:08:57 >> Yeah.
00:08:57 [MUSIC]
00:09:02 >> Mr. McCornish.
00:09:03 >> It's Glenn.
00:09:04 I'm Zeke, your new assistant.
00:09:06 >> Mrs. Lilienfield, the owner?
00:09:08 >> You know who she is.
00:09:09 She pulled me aside and said help me get settled and all that.
00:09:12 Not that you need it, but I'm just here if you need me.
00:09:16 >> Okay, then.
00:09:17 How long have you worked here, Zeke?
00:09:18 >> One year.
00:09:19 >> Well, 15 months, but it's kind of weird around a bike that.
00:09:22 >> You like it?
00:09:23 >> I do.
00:09:24 I love theater.
00:09:25 Everyone's so nice and yeah, it's great.
00:09:29 Tell me about the new manager.
00:09:30 >> Lila.
00:09:32 She's been the manager for four months now.
00:09:33 But from what I've heard, she's been here for years before that.
00:09:37 Super on the ball, keeps things going, keeps people happy.
00:09:40 Everyone loves her.
00:09:41 >> Really?
00:09:43 >> Yes.
00:09:44 >> Okay.
00:09:45 >> You may not have heard, but there's a meeting.
00:09:47 Not really a meeting, more like a gathering, but you don't wanna miss it.
00:09:50 >> When and why?
00:09:52 >> Right.
00:09:53 The whole company's drawing names for Secret Santas.
00:09:56 >> Excuse me?
00:09:57 >> How many presents are we supposed to give this year?
00:10:01 >> I think there's time for six.
00:10:03 >> No stealing stuff from the break room, that doesn't count.
00:10:06 >> Depends on who you ask.
00:10:07 >> Yeah.
00:10:09 >> Okay, so when I figure out who my Secret Santa is way before you,
00:10:12 what do I win?
00:10:13 >> Hey, I almost won last year.
00:10:15 >> No, you didn't.
00:10:17 I just told you that so you'd feel better.
00:10:19 >> So what are the stakes?
00:10:22 >> Okay, winner is treated to a pedicure.
00:10:26 >> Yes, I need one of those.
00:10:28 It's a deal.
00:10:29 >> All right, everyone, let's get started.
00:10:33 >> When I started this five years ago,
00:10:36 I could hardly imagine it would be as dear to me as it is now.
00:10:39 So I hope that everyone can let some Christmas spirit in
00:10:44 with our annual Secret Santa gift exchange.
00:10:45 Now, am I forgetting anything before we draw?
00:10:49 >> No, just remember we each draw one name, keep it a secret,
00:10:54 anonymously leave one gift each week till Christmas.
00:10:58 Then after the final gift, you may reveal your identity.
00:11:03 With that, I'll go first.
00:11:05 [MUSIC]
00:11:11 >> Always count on Tobias to add a little drama.
00:11:13 [LAUGH] All right, everyone come take a turn.
00:11:16 Now I know there's some people that haven't come in yet, so
00:11:18 don't worry if there's some names left over.
00:11:20 Every name will be drawn.
00:11:22 >> Okay, let's go get one while there's loads left.
00:11:24 >> Why does it matter?
00:11:25 >> Because then it'll be more random.
00:11:26 [MUSIC]
00:11:28 >> Want me to get you one?
00:11:30 >> Yeah, sure.
00:11:31 [MUSIC]
00:11:40 >> Who'd you get?
00:11:41 >> I'm not telling, let me see.
00:11:42 [MUSIC]
00:11:53 >> Thanks.
00:11:54 [MUSIC]
00:11:57 >> [LAUGH] Cool.
00:12:00 >> Who is this?
00:12:01 >> That's- >> You got Lila?
00:12:04 >> Yes.
00:12:05 >> Shh.
00:12:07 Switch with me.
00:12:08 >> I don't know if that's really allowed.
00:12:11 >> But yeah, sure, it's probably fine.
00:12:15 >> Why do you want her?
00:12:16 >> No reason.
00:12:17 >> I thought maybe you just had a crush or something.
00:12:20 >> Or not.
00:12:21 [MUSIC]
00:12:31 >> Enjoy the show.
00:12:36 >> Thank you.
00:12:37 [MUSIC]
00:12:46 >> Still here?
00:12:47 >> The show's about to start.
00:12:49 >> I know, you staying for it?
00:12:51 >> I always do.
00:12:53 >> The whole time?
00:12:54 >> Usually.
00:12:56 >> Why?
00:12:58 >> Because the theater is my responsibility.
00:13:00 >> So you just sit and you watch every night?
00:13:02 >> No, but I'm here and ready in case something goes wrong.
00:13:05 >> Like what, like an asteroid hit in the theater?
00:13:07 >> No, like a malfunction or an injury or a customer complaint.
00:13:13 Things I can handle.
00:13:14 >> Don't we have a stage manager for that?
00:13:17 And Tobias and Jill down at customer service and
00:13:19 like ten other people who can handle those things?
00:13:21 >> Well, lucky for you, you're not one of those ten people.
00:13:24 So you can go home.
00:13:26 >> All right, suit yourself, Madame Micro-Manager.
00:13:29 [MUSIC]
00:13:35 >> I have Tobias, talk about pressure.
00:13:39 >> Come on, he's easy to buy for.
00:13:40 >> Not really, he's a ballet director, so he's so creative.
00:13:45 And also, he can be a little extreme sometimes.
00:13:48 >> You should talk to him more.
00:13:49 He's actually pretty down to earth the further you get him from the stage.
00:13:53 >> Who have you got, one of the stage crew, right?
00:13:56 >> Steve, I've got some ideas for him.
00:14:00 >> Oh.
00:14:01 [MUSIC]
00:14:03 >> Sorry, it's my brother.
00:14:06 He wants to see when we can get together to take family photos for
00:14:09 my mom's Christmas card.
00:14:10 >> Aw, that's sweet.
00:14:12 >> Yeah, but it's becoming more of a chore each year.
00:14:15 >> Really?
00:14:16 How hard can it be?
00:14:17 You wanna see the text thread about what to wear?
00:14:19 >> All right, do a red or green sweater and some jeans.
00:14:24 >> Done.
00:14:26 I keep lobbying for us to use the same photo as last year, but
00:14:29 mom's convinced that people keep their Christmas cards.
00:14:32 >> I do, but that's just because I always forget to throw the other ones away.
00:14:36 [LAUGH]
00:14:37 [MUSIC]
00:14:41 >> Good morning, Glenn.
00:14:43 >> Morning, what's that?
00:14:45 >> First gift from my secret Santa person.
00:14:46 >> Any chance you wanna swap names back?
00:14:50 >> I worry about everything, like all of the gifts.
00:14:53 But I mean, I guess- >> Don't worry about it, it's fine.
00:14:56 >> Don't know what to get her?
00:14:57 She likes those little cookies from the vending machine.
00:15:00 >> They have vending machines here?
00:15:01 >> Yeah, but I mean, I'd get her more than one pack, but it's just an idea.
00:15:05 Or the store around the corner sells them in a bigger bag.
00:15:09 >> Thanks.
00:15:11 [MUSIC]
00:15:21 >> Who cares?
00:15:31 [MUSIC]
00:15:35 No.
00:15:38 >> Hey.
00:15:39 >> I was just wondering if you've signed off on the floor Shelly Haynes contract
00:15:42 terms yet.
00:15:42 >> I haven't seen it.
00:15:44 >> No?
00:15:45 I'll go get you a copy then.
00:15:47 >> Okay.
00:15:48 [MUSIC]
00:15:58 I love these.
00:16:06 These look fat.
00:16:09 >> My secret Santa.
00:16:11 >> How do they know?
00:16:13 >> Good guess.
00:16:16 These are my guilty pleasure.
00:16:18 >> I've never had one.
00:16:22 That wasn't a backhanded way of asking, but.
00:16:25 [MUSIC]
00:16:34 These are really good.
00:16:35 >> Right?
00:16:37 >> Wow.
00:16:37 Is that the contract?
00:16:39 >> Yeah.
00:16:41 >> Isn't this legal's job?
00:16:43 >> Yes, but I don't dare start my marketing strategy until I know for
00:16:47 sure that she has signed and locked in.
00:16:49 >> Okay, we'll just leave it here and I'll get to it when I get a chance.
00:16:54 >> Come on, I'm trying to wrap this up, just sign it.
00:16:56 >> How'd you even get her to agree to this?
00:16:59 >> I'm all in good terms with her management team.
00:17:02 They said she was available.
00:17:03 Everybody says she's great to work with.
00:17:05 >> She better be with how much extra she's gonna cost the theater.
00:17:08 >> Hey, that's at the discounted friends and family rate.
00:17:10 >> Her management team must not consider you much of a friend.
00:17:13 >> I'm just trying to get this job done.
00:17:15 Why don't you do the same?
00:17:17 >> Okay.
00:17:18 Ow. >> Hey, you okay?
00:17:19 >> Yeah.
00:17:21 Paper cut.
00:17:23 I am doing my job by not signing off on this blindly.
00:17:28 I will get to it when I get a chance.
00:17:32 >> Can I get another one?
00:17:35 >> No, you were only getting one.
00:17:37 >> Why?
00:17:38 >> Because only nice people get these.
00:17:41 >> Aha.
00:17:44 >> Thieves.
00:17:45 [MUSIC]
00:17:54 >> Mom, it's fine.
00:17:55 >> Are you sure?
00:17:56 I have another blouse for you.
00:17:57 >> No jewel tone verdant.
00:18:00 >> Calling it verdant doesn't change the fact that it's green.
00:18:02 I wore green last year.
00:18:04 >> Chris, how's the camera?
00:18:05 >> Good, timer is set and here we go.
00:18:08 >> Great, okay, come over here behind Lacey and then Mom and then me.
00:18:13 >> I still like the green better.
00:18:14 >> There's plenty of green in the picture.
00:18:16 >> Everyone smile.
00:18:19 >> I blinked.
00:18:20 >> That's okay, we'll try a few of them just to be safe.
00:18:23 >> Thanksgiving's next week, I'll take care of the turkey and the stuffing.
00:18:26 >> You sure you don't want us to since we're hosting?
00:18:27 I mean, I know it's a pain to haul the turkey from your house to here.
00:18:30 >> I can manage.
00:18:32 You just bring those yummy potatoes instead.
00:18:34 >> I can bring the pies and the rolls, but I can't stay all weekend.
00:18:38 I have to get caught up on work.
00:18:39 >> It's a holiday weekend.
00:18:41 >> I know, but that doesn't make the work magically go away.
00:18:44 There's a lot riding on this season.
00:18:46 >> But you'll play games, won't you?
00:18:48 >> And we have the Supper Santa family to plan for.
00:18:50 >> Sure.
00:18:52 >> Here we go.
00:18:53 Okay, everyone ready?
00:18:56 >> Smile.
00:18:58 [MUSIC]
00:19:08 >> I didn't see who dropped it off.
00:19:15 >> Are you part ninja?
00:19:16 >> No.
00:19:17 Funny you asked, though, I did dress as one for five years for Halloween.
00:19:20 >> Yeah.
00:19:21 [MUSIC]
00:19:25 >> It's cute.
00:19:26 [MUSIC]
00:19:33 >> You done?
00:19:34 >> Yeah.
00:19:36 I do have some app proofs from the design team they sent over.
00:19:38 >> I should go grab it?
00:19:40 >> Yeah.
00:19:41 >> Okay.
00:19:42 [MUSIC]
00:19:45 >> For the record, I'm still not happy about changing the dancers' roles in this
00:19:49 ballet.
00:19:49 >> I agree.
00:19:51 >> Flora Shelley Haynes will guarantee a full house.
00:19:53 I've seen the effect she has on sales.
00:19:55 It'll be worth it.
00:19:55 >> The contract's already signed.
00:19:57 Flora Shelley Haynes' team just needs the rehearsal schedule.
00:20:00 Can we do a fitting on the day she arrives so we have full rehearsals the other days?
00:20:03 >> I think that's a good idea.
00:20:05 We don't usually do an opening day rehearsal, but do you want to in this case?
00:20:10 >> I don't know that Flora Shelley Haynes would go for that.
00:20:13 >> Do we have to keep calling her by all three names or
00:20:15 can we come up with a shorter version?
00:20:17 >> [LAUGH]
00:20:18 [MUSIC]
00:20:21 >> Great.
00:20:25 Thank you for your help on this.
00:20:28 >> When does the press release go out?
00:20:29 >> It's already out.
00:20:31 Has the website been updated with Flora Shelley Haynes on it?
00:20:33 >> I think so.
00:20:35 Let me check with the web designer.
00:20:38 >> You know, we really do need an acronym or something.
00:20:41 Go ahead and let's see, FISH, FISH, but without the I.
00:20:47 >> I think she'll have some objections to being called that.
00:20:49 >> Yeah, but it's just gonna be referring to her between us.
00:20:52 >> That'll backfire.
00:20:54 >> They could just call her Flora.
00:20:56 >> First name, too personal.
00:20:58 >> Sure, and Fish isn't.
00:21:01 Where is my pen?
00:21:05 What are you- >> It's your pen.
00:21:08 >> Thank you.
00:21:13 >> It's almost lunchtime.
00:21:16 >> Yes, it is.
00:21:18 >> You wanna grab something to eat?
00:21:20 >> Together?
00:21:22 >> Yeah.
00:21:25 >> Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
00:21:29 >> I hear this place is great.
00:21:31 I wasn't around before I left, but you know.
00:21:34 >> Yeah, it's good.
00:21:39 >> Didn't you used to work in a place like this in high school?
00:21:42 >> You know I did.
00:21:44 You used to go there with your friends and
00:21:45 make the biggest mess possible when I was cleaning the tables.
00:21:49 >> Oh.
00:21:50 You really don't remember that?
00:21:52 >> No, I do, I do.
00:21:53 I just don't remember it in such detail.
00:21:56 >> Do you remember in the 10th grade when I got sick?
00:21:58 I got one stomach bug and you made up a song about it and
00:22:01 taught it to half the class.
00:22:03 >> That was more than a stomach bug.
00:22:06 >> See, you still think it's funny.
00:22:09 That wasn't even the worst thing you did.
00:22:11 >> Look, it was a joke.
00:22:13 I was just trying to make people laugh.
00:22:14 That's all it was.
00:22:16 >> Well, it was mortifying.
00:22:18 And this was a mistake.
00:22:21 >> Okay, wait, hold on.
00:22:23 I know that my antics back then were too much.
00:22:26 And if there was something I could do about it, I would, but I can't.
00:22:30 All I can do now is, all we can do now is agree to move forward.
00:22:34 >> I would love to.
00:22:35 But just a second ago, you were laughing about a song that you made up to mock me
00:22:39 for a year.
00:22:40 >> Look, I'm trying to be nice here.
00:22:43 If you can't accept my apology and move on like a professional, that's on you.
00:22:48 >> I can be perfectly professional, but I also don't have to make you feel better by
00:22:52 saying everything you did back then is okay now just because you said sorry.
00:22:55 [MUSIC]
00:23:01 >> It's probably cheaper if we just replace the speakers in the practice room.
00:23:05 Or we can get one of those little portable ones.
00:23:07 Sometimes they're just as good.
00:23:08 >> Really? >> Yeah.
00:23:09 >> Okay, let's put that next year's budget.
00:23:11 >> So how was lunch?
00:23:13 >> How did you?
00:23:14 >> I saw you and Glenn leave together.
00:23:17 >> Well, the food was good.
00:23:19 Company, not so much.
00:23:21 >> Really? He seems so nice to everyone else.
00:23:23 >> That's because they don't know the real him.
00:23:27 My senior year of high school, we had this Christmas fair.
00:23:30 They set up a hayride for the whole class.
00:23:33 In a rare moment of politeness, Glenn encouraged me to go first.
00:23:37 He helped me onto the cart and everything.
00:23:40 When I sat down, I found out he shoveled horse manure onto the hay bales and
00:23:44 covered it with a thin layer of straw.
00:23:47 I was humiliated in front of everyone.
00:23:49 It ruined my clothes, which I had to wear for the rest of the day.
00:23:54 And then everyone nicknamed me cow pie for the whole school year.
00:23:59 I ran into a girl in college and she still called me cow pie.
00:24:02 >> Wait, but it wasn't even cow manure.
00:24:05 >> That's not the point.
00:24:06 >> Okay.
00:24:08 >> Just don't be fooled by him.
00:24:11 >> Fine.
00:24:12 He actually sent you a message.
00:24:16 He must be afraid of you because he sent it through Zeke.
00:24:20 >> Ow.
00:24:21 >> What?
00:24:22 >> Paper cut.
00:24:24 >> Have you hit your quota yet for the week?
00:24:26 >> What do you mean?
00:24:27 >> You get more paper cuts than anybody else I've ever met before.
00:24:33 >> Items we have to provide for Flora Shelley Haynes.
00:24:36 >> Here, let me handle it.
00:24:37 >> Are you sure?
00:24:38 It's tedious.
00:24:39 >> It's fine.
00:24:40 I am not the assistant manager for nothing.
00:24:42 [ Music ]
00:24:54 >> I think we need to talk about boundaries, Zeke.
00:24:56 >> Sorry.
00:24:57 You got nothing in.
00:24:58 I think it's the snow globe again.
00:25:00 >> Really?
00:25:01 >> Yeah.
00:25:02 I hear sloshing.
00:25:03 >> All right.
00:25:04 Go on. Open it up.
00:25:05 >> Really?
00:25:05 >> Yeah.
00:25:11 >> Huh.
00:25:13 Do you think next week you'll --
00:25:14 >> Time will tell.
00:25:17 >> Need anything?
00:25:19 >> Ticket sales have had a little uptick.
00:25:21 Not as much as I'd like, but Julie is sending out an e-mail to our customer list for the Thanksgiving weekend.
00:25:25 So that'll probably help.
00:25:27 >> Okay.
00:25:28 I want to see that e-mail before it goes out.
00:25:29 How are we doing on our video ads?
00:25:31 >> Kevin has them ready for you if you can stop by his office.
00:25:33 Anything else?
00:25:35 >> Yeah.
00:25:38 Do you know what else I can get for Lila?
00:25:40 >> More cookies?
00:25:41 >> No, no.
00:25:41 I mean, what else does she like?
00:25:44 >> You could do some more research or whatever, but why don't you get her something generic like smelly lotion or an ornament?
00:25:51 >> Okay.
00:25:53 >> Bingo.
00:26:05 >> Clever.
00:26:14 Go easy on your hands.
00:26:21 >> Is it time yet?
00:26:39 >> Dessert time?
00:26:40 I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
00:26:42 >> No.
00:26:43 We need to pick up family for the sub for Santa.
00:26:47 >> All right, all right.
00:26:48 Let's get to it.
00:26:50 >> Sub for Santa.
00:26:53 >> What are our options?
00:26:55 >> All right.
00:26:56 Okay.
00:26:57 We have a family.
00:26:58 Two kids ages 15 and 17.
00:27:00 >> Ick.
00:27:01 Teenagers.
00:27:03 >> All right.
00:27:04 Here we go.
00:27:05 We have a mom, two kids, a boy age 8 and a girl age 10.
00:27:10 >> Like me.
00:27:11 >> What's on their list?
00:27:12 >> Let's see.
00:27:13 Pajamas, winter coats, a scooter, shoes, and kitchen pans.
00:27:18 >> Sounds promising.
00:27:19 >> Any stuffed animals?
00:27:20 >> Let's see.
00:27:21 Dinosaur, giraffe, and tiger are the requests.
00:27:24 >> Okay, then.
00:27:26 >> Does that meet your approval?
00:27:27 >> Yep.
00:27:28 >> Okay.
00:27:29 I'll sign us up.
00:27:30 >> When do we need to deliver their gifts?
00:27:32 >> No later than the 21st.
00:27:34 >> Let's plan to get the shopping done soon.
00:27:36 How about we go next weekend?
00:27:37 >> Great.
00:27:39 >> I can't, but I can contribute to the gifts.
00:27:41 >> You pick the day.
00:27:42 >> Honestly, it's so hectic right now.
00:27:44 It will be better if you guys just go without me.
00:27:46 >> That's what you said about the Halloween play you missed.
00:27:49 >> But I watched the recording that your dad sent.
00:27:51 You were so good.
00:27:59 >> How about some cranberry sauce with your leftovers?
00:28:01 >> No, thanks.
00:28:07 Does it matter?
00:28:10 That's what I thought I did.
00:28:15 How's that?
00:28:17 Better?
00:28:22 So work's going well.
00:28:25 I think.
00:28:27 Honestly, I'm hoping this weekend really moves the needle for the ticket sales.
00:28:31 There's a lot of expectations, especially with the marketing budget that I've spent.
00:28:36 I just don't want to disappoint anyone.
00:28:41 There's also this woman at the theater.
00:28:44 She's not my biggest fan, but I'm trying to fix that.
00:28:50 She actually smiled yesterday.
00:28:53 Not at me, but because of something I did.
00:28:56 It was nice.
00:28:58 It was just a moment, though.
00:29:00 I keep wondering how to make her happy.
00:29:03 Maybe that's not the best way to put it.
00:29:05 She's a happy person.
00:29:06 She's just -- she isn't happy with me.
00:29:09 You know all those pranks I used to pull when I was younger?
00:29:13 Well, I know now that it hurt people.
00:29:16 Her.
00:29:19 But I'm not that same person anymore.
00:29:21 So how do I make her see that, though, right?
00:29:26 I don't know why I care what she thinks.
00:29:31 How do I do that?
00:29:49 Hi.
00:29:51 It's just me.
00:29:52 What are you doing here?
00:29:54 I just came to see how sales were doing.
00:29:56 Check in on some things.
00:29:57 Oh.
00:29:58 Me too.
00:30:00 You come here a lot on holiday weekends?
00:30:02 It's the first time I felt like I had to.
00:30:05 Eggnog?
00:30:06 No, I'm not much of a fan of that.
00:30:08 Well, I like it.
00:30:09 And I'm hungry.
00:30:11 Oh, I have Thanksgiving leftovers.
00:30:13 You want some?
00:30:14 No, thanks.
00:30:16 You sure?
00:30:17 Food will actually fill you up.
00:30:19 What is it?
00:30:20 Turkey, stuffing, potatoes.
00:30:23 Gravy?
00:30:24 Oh, yeah.
00:30:26 Did you cook this?
00:30:28 My mom.
00:30:29 Mm, it's good.
00:30:31 Oh, man.
00:30:33 Thank you.
00:30:39 That scarf has seen better days, anyway.
00:30:41 Keeps me warm enough.
00:30:43 Maybe you should tell your secret Santa you need a new one.
00:30:46 My dad made it for me.
00:30:48 Oh, that's sweet.
00:30:49 He knit?
00:30:50 Crochets.
00:30:52 He learned a couple of years ago after he had a stroke.
00:30:54 Oh.
00:30:55 Is he okay now?
00:30:57 Yeah, for the most part.
00:30:58 He lost the ability to speak.
00:31:00 I'm sorry.
00:31:02 Yeah, you do.
00:31:03 But he can do this, though.
00:31:06 It's funny how the brain works, right?
00:31:09 It allowed him to regain some dexterity, and with it, some control in his life.
00:31:14 This was the first scarf he finished.
00:31:17 He's one of a kind, then.
00:31:20 He, uh, he's trying to teach me, and it's a bit of an uphill battle.
00:31:25 I can't really imagine you crocheting.
00:31:27 Yeah, it's not my favorite activity.
00:31:29 But it allows us to spend some time together.
00:31:35 Um, thank you for the food.
00:31:38 Yeah, you're welcome.
00:31:41 See you later.
00:31:43 [music]
00:31:59 God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
00:32:04 For Jesus Christ our Savior was born upon this day.
00:32:09 To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray.
00:32:14 Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
00:32:19 Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
00:32:21 What are you doing?
00:32:22 Shh.
00:32:23 I'm leaving something for my secret Santa person.
00:32:25 Who is it?
00:32:26 I can't tell you.
00:32:28 Which one?
00:32:29 The guy on the left or the right?
00:32:31 It doesn't matter.
00:32:32 Hurry.
00:32:33 I'm gonna need those receipts for the marketing buys you've been making.
00:32:37 Sure, I'll get right on that.
00:32:39 Not so loud.
00:32:41 Did you hear yourself?
00:32:42 Thank you.
00:32:43 Okay.
00:32:44 Yeah, we'll see you later.
00:32:45 And by the way, ad buys happen through contracts, not receipts.
00:32:49 That's not a slushie at a gas station.
00:32:51 Oh, shush.
00:32:52 It's that guy.
00:32:54 When'd you get him?
00:32:55 A multi-tool.
00:32:57 That's so sentimental.
00:32:59 It's useful.
00:33:00 Better than something he'll never use.
00:33:02 Can't argue there.
00:33:03 I have two snow globes taking up space on my desk.
00:33:06 Snow globes.
00:33:08 What?
00:33:09 You know who it is?
00:33:11 Yes, but I'm not telling you.
00:33:14 [music]
00:33:17 [music]
00:33:20 [music]
00:33:23 [music]
00:33:25 Okay.
00:33:28 [music]
00:33:30 [music]
00:33:33 [music]
00:33:37 [music]
00:33:43 [music]
00:33:49 [music]
00:33:51 Lila.
00:34:00 Hey.
00:34:01 It's break time.
00:34:02 Oh, I can't.
00:34:03 Come on.
00:34:04 Meet me in the cheap seats in five minutes.
00:34:06 Okay, fine.
00:34:08 [music]
00:34:10 What is this?
00:34:19 So you'll always know where to go to find a pen.
00:34:23 [sigh]
00:34:25 Five, six, seven, eight.
00:34:29 Watch the extension.
00:34:31 Make it look effortless.
00:34:34 I'm jealous.
00:34:36 Of your mystery person.
00:34:38 I've been impressed.
00:34:40 Everything has been something I need or love.
00:34:43 I think it's a guy.
00:34:45 Really?
00:34:46 Why?
00:34:47 I mean, this bow, it's a nice attempt,
00:34:50 but it shows no real craft experience.
00:34:52 Have you seen me with bows?
00:34:54 I always use the stick-on ones because I can't curl ribbon.
00:34:57 The thoughtfulness of the gift, that makes me think
00:35:00 it might be somebody with a crush on you.
00:35:03 What? Think about it.
00:35:05 Why can't it be someone who just knows me well?
00:35:08 Like who?
00:35:10 Like Richard.
00:35:12 Wait, Richard from the cleaning stuff?
00:35:14 He sees what's in my trash can, he knows what I need,
00:35:17 what I like.
00:35:19 No.
00:35:20 Who then?
00:35:22 Okay, if we are going with my crush theory, um...
00:35:27 Nick.
00:35:29 He has a girlfriend.
00:35:31 Oh, Devin from maintenance.
00:35:33 He thinks my name is Christine.
00:35:35 That's close.
00:35:37 What about...
00:35:39 Evan from accounting?
00:35:42 Oh, he's not observant enough.
00:35:45 Tom from legal?
00:35:47 No, he delegates everything to one of those virtual assistant services.
00:35:50 This is too thoughtful for Tom.
00:35:52 Well, whoever it is, I'm grateful.
00:35:55 It's been really fun so far.
00:35:57 And I still have plenty of time to figure out who it is.
00:36:00 Three more weeks, three more gifts.
00:36:03 Unless I figure it out first.
00:36:06 Okay. So you got chocolates and what else?
00:36:09 Soda, not diet, and some candy.
00:36:13 At least the stuff you like.
00:36:15 Mostly.
00:36:16 The soda was like way past its expiration date.
00:36:19 I started thinking my secret Santa's just clearing out their pantry.
00:36:23 Do you want one? Cream or caramel?
00:36:27 Surprise me. Here.
00:36:29 Maybe it's Janine.
00:36:32 Janine is on a diet from diets.
00:36:34 We need to do more investigation.
00:36:36 We're not going through anyone's office, are we?
00:36:39 No. Okay.
00:36:41 But we should do something fun with all of our potential suspects.
00:36:44 See if any of them let something slip on accident.
00:36:46 What do you have in mind?
00:36:47 We could go ice skating. Tonight, after the show.
00:36:50 But it's so late.
00:36:52 When else are you going to make time for it?
00:36:55 Tonight it is.
00:36:57 Thanks for coming. The thing's been beeping all day.
00:37:05 You're lucky you didn't wake up in the middle of the night.
00:37:08 I don't hear anything at night.
00:37:10 That's because you snore.
00:37:12 I do not.
00:37:16 Uh-huh. Battery?
00:37:18 Ah. The 9-volt.
00:37:22 Which one's that?
00:37:25 The rectangular one. Right here.
00:37:27 Thank you.
00:37:34 [phone rings]
00:37:36 Hold on. About to work.
00:37:38 Hello?
00:37:40 No, I haven't seen it yet. I'm out of the office right now.
00:37:44 I thought you already sent your list over.
00:37:48 Right. Revised. Great.
00:37:51 No, no, no, no. We'll take care of it.
00:37:54 Yeah. Bye.
00:37:56 Is everything alright?
00:37:58 Yeah. It's the ballerina's agent.
00:38:00 Things she wants for while she's here.
00:38:02 What could she possibly want?
00:38:04 I'm trying not to think about it.
00:38:06 I didn't think that was part of your job.
00:38:09 It's not. So I will gladly pass it along to someone else.
00:38:13 Are you sure you're happy over there at the theater?
00:38:19 Yeah. It's work.
00:38:21 We just think maybe you needed a break.
00:38:23 Jumping back in so quickly might not have been the best thing for you.
00:38:27 We, huh?
00:38:31 I'm fine.
00:38:33 Once I get this first show under my belt, it'll be easier.
00:38:36 Hey Marie.
00:38:43 I'm glad you came.
00:38:45 I didn't know I had a choice. You good?
00:38:47 Where are your gloves?
00:38:49 I couldn't find them.
00:38:50 Girl, you're gonna freeze.
00:38:52 Hi.
00:38:54 Hi.
00:38:56 Glenn! I'm so glad you could make it.
00:38:58 Thank you.
00:39:01 Um, go on then. Get your skates.
00:39:03 Okay.
00:39:05 You invited Glenn?
00:39:13 Yeah.
00:39:14 Why?
00:39:15 Do you not remember the hayride story?
00:39:17 No, I do. It was just with you freezing him out.
00:39:20 Has he had any chance to make any friends at the theater yet?
00:39:23 Am I supposed to be worried about that?
00:39:25 Come on. You're not heartless.
00:39:28 [music]
00:39:30 First time skating, Zeke?
00:39:38 You can tell.
00:39:39 Try to let go of the wall every now and then.
00:39:41 You know, things I like to keep might be done to ground.
00:39:44 You need help, Zeke?
00:39:45 Nope, I'm fine.
00:39:47 We'll holler if you change your mind.
00:39:49 Okay. Good luck.
00:39:55 I'm surprised he came out if he didn't know how to skate.
00:39:58 You have to start somewhere.
00:40:00 So, um, are you feeling comfortable with your job at the theater?
00:40:07 Yeah. I'm getting there.
00:40:09 How did you get into marketing?
00:40:12 Oh, you know, college degree experience.
00:40:16 That sounds vague.
00:40:19 [laughs]
00:40:20 Helen was praising you like you're a huge success.
00:40:23 Oh. What can I say? My resume is impressive.
00:40:27 [laughs]
00:40:28 I was actually fired.
00:40:33 What?
00:40:34 From my last job.
00:40:36 Not for anything terrible.
00:40:38 It's just the product I was promoting failed spectacularly.
00:40:42 Oh, wow. I'm sorry.
00:40:44 No, I know what I do different now.
00:40:46 But when it failed, my boss needed someone to blame.
00:40:50 Well, that's not fair.
00:40:51 Maybe. Maybe not.
00:40:53 But I see their logic.
00:40:55 No grudge?
00:40:57 Just regrets that I didn't find a better way.
00:41:00 But I'm at the theater now.
00:41:03 And just so you don't worry, I'm committed.
00:41:06 I'm giving it my all.
00:41:08 Well, I'm glad you are.
00:41:10 There's so much to do.
00:41:12 Honestly, I should be looking at the shows for next quarter,
00:41:15 but there's never enough time.
00:41:17 You know, Helen mentioned that you were somewhat new to the manager job.
00:41:20 Yeah, but I know the theater inside and out.
00:41:23 What everyone does, how it all fits together.
00:41:26 I just need this season to go well.
00:41:28 Yeah, that sounds like it's kind of my job, too.
00:41:32 In part, but ultimately it falls on me.
00:41:35 Does it?
00:41:37 The dancers, the orchestra, the stage crew?
00:41:40 It doesn't matter what you do if they don't show up with their best.
00:41:43 What's your point?
00:41:45 Just saying. It's not all on your shoulders.
00:41:49 Thanks.
00:41:52 Yeah.
00:41:54 So, why did you come back here?
00:41:59 You've been asking yourself that since the first day of the conference room, haven't you?
00:42:04 Crossed my mind.
00:42:06 I mean, why not stay where you were or start fresh somewhere else?
00:42:13 Well, uh...
00:42:16 Your dad.
00:42:18 Yeah.
00:42:20 Yeah, I wasn't there for the stroke itself, but...
00:42:24 it was really hard on my mom.
00:42:26 I've gotten phone calls from them for a while now,
00:42:29 needing help with this or that.
00:42:31 So after I got fired, I got a place a few miles away from them.
00:42:36 It made sense to be closer to them so I could, you know, be there for them.
00:42:41 Yeah, that's...
00:42:43 Nice?
00:42:44 Unexpected.
00:42:46 Wow. Thank you.
00:42:48 Sorry.
00:42:50 Now, believe it or not, I am capable of being nice.
00:42:53 I'm starting to.
00:42:55 Yeah?
00:42:56 Lila, uh...
00:42:58 I am not good at this.
00:43:01 I don't know how else to say this other than I'm sorry.
00:43:06 For all of the jokes and all of the pranks in high school, I...
00:43:10 I realized none of it was funny to you or to any of the others.
00:43:14 And it may not...
00:43:16 It may not sound like much, but...
00:43:19 I mean it.
00:43:21 Well, that's something.
00:43:25 Is it enough?
00:43:27 It's a start.
00:43:29 Brownie mix.
00:43:39 That's what my secret Santa got me.
00:43:41 Shh. You don't want the whole theater to hear.
00:43:43 I don't care.
00:43:44 Even if you're clearly frustrated, a reaction hurts their feelings.
00:43:48 It is a brownie mix. It's like two dollars at the shop.
00:43:51 The next step up from that bottom rung of a gift would be if they at least made the brownies for me.
00:43:56 I mean, that's a common courtesy.
00:43:58 I think there's some calming tea in here.
00:44:00 What did you get, anyway?
00:44:06 I am that much closer to guessing who my secret Santa is.
00:44:09 Because of gloves?
00:44:11 It has to be someone who was with us at the ice skating rink.
00:44:14 They saw I didn't have gloves on.
00:44:16 Or maybe it's because, you know, winter?
00:44:20 You're just afraid I have a short list of suspects.
00:44:23 Fine. Who are your strong suspicions?
00:44:26 I'm thinking Zeke or Sam.
00:44:30 I still don't think it's Nick, although...
00:44:32 Glenn was there.
00:44:33 But Zeke was acting really...
00:44:35 Well, Zeke is always...
00:44:37 Zeke.
00:44:38 Rita got hurt!
00:44:39 What?
00:44:40 No, really?
00:44:41 Where is she?
00:44:42 This is not good. She's our snow queen.
00:44:46 I know.
00:44:47 We'll have to see what the doctor says, but...
00:44:50 I don't think she'll be better in time to perform.
00:44:52 What happened?
00:44:53 Simple misstep. Like walking down the stairs and blowing out your knee.
00:44:58 Now what do we do about it?
00:44:59 How's the understudy?
00:45:01 She's okay.
00:45:03 Look, Karina is my first choice, but...
00:45:05 Hey, I heard what happened.
00:45:07 Tobias and I are trying to figure out what to do.
00:45:10 What if we bring in whoever was supposed to be the sugar pump fairy before Shelley Haynes?
00:45:15 She's still a little hurt by the shuffle, but...
00:45:19 I can talk her into it.
00:45:22 [music]
00:45:24 Ben!
00:45:33 Hey.
00:45:35 What are you doing here?
00:45:37 Well, hello to you too. Dinner.
00:45:39 Ooh, yum.
00:45:40 Eat quickly.
00:45:41 Why?
00:45:43 We have shopping to do.
00:45:44 Oh, I can't. I had a stressful day at work.
00:45:47 Oh, when is it not? Come on.
00:45:49 Amy and Lacey are at Mom's for Girls Night. It's the perfect time to go shopping for them.
00:45:53 Are the stores even open?
00:45:55 Holiday hours.
00:45:56 I still like the pink one better.
00:46:00 Don't force me to come along and then not trust my shopping instincts.
00:46:04 Everything Lacey has is pink.
00:46:06 Because she likes it.
00:46:07 No, because Amy likes it.
00:46:09 What's that one hoodie she's always wearing?
00:46:12 The purple one?
00:46:13 Bingo.
00:46:16 Lila! Hi.
00:46:19 Hi, Glenn. This is my brother, Chris.
00:46:22 It's good to meet you.
00:46:24 You too.
00:46:25 We're just finding some things for my niece and sister-in-law.
00:46:29 Good. I'm trying to surprise my parents, but the only idea is they've given me a role.
00:46:34 Practical and boring.
00:46:35 Speaking of practical, I'm just gonna duck on over here and get something for Amy.
00:46:43 Oh.
00:46:44 So, do you celebrate Christmas or are you gonna sneak off to the office and get caught up again?
00:46:53 Ha ha. It's not like I love the late hours.
00:46:56 Then why do it?
00:46:57 Because the theater means a lot to me. You know, duty, accountability, all that.
00:47:02 How'd you end up there?
00:47:04 I've always loved the theater. Not just our theater, but live plays and musicals.
00:47:10 Being on stage was always an adventure, but it just wasn't for me as a career.
00:47:16 Wait, did—you did plays in school, right?
00:47:20 Yes.
00:47:21 I booed you, didn't I?
00:47:23 At more than one performance.
00:47:25 Please tell me the reason you're not on stage right now isn't because of me.
00:47:30 No.
00:47:33 Oh. Good.
00:47:36 I mean, I'm sorry.
00:47:38 So why aren't you on stage?
00:47:40 Because I like being involved with everything, not just performing.
00:47:47 With what I do now, I get a front row seat to the casting, the art and stage pieces, the costuming, ticket sales, customer experience.
00:47:57 Seeing it all come together with the story and the emotion, the technical elements, it's—it's amazing.
00:48:05 You really do love it, don't you?
00:48:08 Yeah.
00:48:09 Want to?
00:48:15 What? Santa?
00:48:17 Yeah, come on.
00:48:18 Why?
00:48:20 Because we can.
00:48:21 Wow, that's a lot. That's a big list.
00:48:26 So, what are you going to say?
00:48:28 What I want for Christmas, of course.
00:48:31 Which is?
00:48:34 Nope. Not through his ears only.
00:48:36 What about you?
00:48:38 I'm going to tell him that I wish I wasn't standing in this line.
00:48:43 Oh, wow. It's not supposed to be a wish. He's not a fountain that you toss a coin at.
00:48:49 Whatever. Either way, I don't really need anything.
00:48:52 Well, Christmas isn't all about what you need. It could be about what you want. Like a new purse.
00:49:00 Is that what you think I want?
00:49:02 It's just an example.
00:49:04 Now, who do we have here? Glenn and Lila.
00:49:06 Oh, boy.
00:49:08 And what would you like? A ring, perhaps?
00:49:10 Oh, no.
00:49:12 How about a photo?
00:49:14 Sure.
00:49:15 Really?
00:49:16 Yeah. That's what friends do.
00:49:17 So we're friends now?
00:49:19 I hope so.
00:49:21 I can have my trusty elf take it.
00:49:23 Thank you.
00:49:26 Okay.
00:49:29 Just a bit closer.
00:49:32 A little closer.
00:49:36 You know what? Just put your arm around her.
00:49:41 Okay. Now, smile and say, "Merry Christmas."
00:49:49 Merry Christmas!
00:49:51 I'll text you the photo.
00:49:55 Thanks.
00:49:56 They were all out of pajamas. Can you believe that?
00:49:58 Oh, that's too bad. We can try another store.
00:50:00 Okay. I'll see you at work. Yeah?
00:50:04 Yeah.
00:50:05 It's good to run into you.
00:50:07 You, too.
00:50:09 You okay?
00:50:14 Yeah. Fine.
00:50:17 Fine.
00:50:18 Hi, Derek.
00:50:30 Hey. I think I know who my secret Santa is.
00:50:38 Who?
00:50:40 Derek.
00:50:41 He was coming in from rehearsal, and he saw me, and he got completely awkward,
00:50:45 and then he turned around and ran the other way to avoid me.
00:50:47 Maybe he's intimidated by you.
00:50:49 No, whatever. We're friendly. We always say hello. This was definitely weird.
00:50:53 So is Derek your final answer?
00:50:55 Yes.
00:50:59 So in order for me to win, you have to be wrong about Derek, and I have to be right about whoever my secret Santa is.
00:51:04 Yes.
00:51:06 But I like my chances. I'm not giving up.
00:51:09 I just have to catch my secret Santa in the act.
00:51:13 [music]
00:51:14 You got another gift.
00:51:41 Snuggle up number four.
00:51:42 Hey, do you know how long Lila will be in her office?
00:51:45 No. Want me to ask her?
00:51:46 No. No. I really need her out of her office, though.
00:51:49 Oh, for your secret Santa gift.
00:51:52 Yeah. But it needs to stay refrigerated.
00:51:54 You want me to put it in the fridge?
00:51:56 No. No, no, no. I'd rather we get her out of her office so I can leave it there.
00:51:59 What if it goes bad? Like if she's away from her desk for too long?
00:52:03 Hmm. How about ice?
00:52:06 Good idea. We'll also need a bowl.
00:52:08 On it.
00:52:10 [music]
00:52:11 Here we go.
00:52:14 Good. Good.
00:52:17 So why are you trying so hard?
00:52:19 What do you mean?
00:52:21 You're like invested.
00:52:22 I'm not. Not any more than my snow globe gifter.
00:52:25 Yo, you're taking it to a higher level.
00:52:28 What do you think?
00:52:30 It needs a bowl.
00:52:34 [music]
00:52:37 [music]
00:52:38 Where?
00:52:44 The mug.
00:52:46 Better.
00:52:49 Now what?
00:52:52 Hey. Got a minute?
00:53:00 Sure. What for?
00:53:02 It's a fish thing. The dressing room for Flora.
00:53:05 We're sticking with fish?
00:53:06 I like it. You want to go take a look?
00:53:09 I just want to make sure everything is as it should be. Her team keeps bugging me about it.
00:53:13 Sorry. I told them to come to me and Marie for that stuff.
00:53:16 No. It's fine.
00:53:18 [music]
00:53:20 We're ready to go as soon as she arrives.
00:53:34 And the driver's going to bring fish here from her hotel.
00:53:36 And everything's ready here, right?
00:53:38 Yes, yes, and yes.
00:53:41 Okay. I think we're all set.
00:53:43 Everyone stay on top of your responsibilities.
00:53:45 Let's show Miss Haynes what a stellar company we can be.
00:53:48 Alright?
00:53:50 Okay. Alright.
00:53:51 Leaving?
00:53:53 Yes. The playbill has finally arrived from the printer so I can breathe again.
00:53:57 Good.
00:53:59 How about we grab a bite to eat?
00:54:01 Why?
00:54:03 Nourishment?
00:54:04 No, I mean, why?
00:54:07 Why not?
00:54:09 Do you ever just watch a show anymore?
00:54:15 I mean, sit down in the theater like a normal person.
00:54:19 It's been a while.
00:54:21 Do you still like it on that side of the stage?
00:54:23 Yeah, I do. There's just never time.
00:54:26 What's your favorite show you've ever seen?
00:54:29 Uh, that's a tough one.
00:54:32 Liar.
00:54:34 What?
00:54:36 You don't have a favorite, I can tell.
00:54:38 I--
00:54:40 Do you even like theater?
00:54:41 Of course.
00:54:42 That was a lie too.
00:54:44 You know, one of those tiny lies, like you're trying not to hurt my feelings.
00:54:47 Fine. I don't enjoy it, per se.
00:54:50 Why not?
00:54:52 I don't know. The jumping around. The singing.
00:54:55 Well, not every show is a musical.
00:54:58 Still, I can almost get pulled into the story, and then something happens and it's too much.
00:55:02 Are you expecting reality?
00:55:04 No.
00:55:06 So you have something against talented singers, actors, and dancers?
00:55:10 No, I'd just rather do something else.
00:55:12 I take it this wasn't part of your interview with Helen.
00:55:15 Thankfully, she sees the value in a skilled worker, not someone who's just another fan.
00:55:19 Okay.
00:55:21 Well, I won't tell her if it makes you feel any better.
00:55:24 Thank you.
00:55:27 That's what fri--
00:55:28 Um, co-workers are for.
00:55:30 Friends.
00:55:32 You were gonna use that word.
00:55:34 No.
00:55:35 Oh, who's the liar now?
00:55:36 It was a slip.
00:55:38 Uh-huh. Which means you really meant it.
00:55:41 Look, I've been--
00:55:44 I've been wondering about
00:55:46 what it would have been like if we would have been friends in high school.
00:55:50 It's kind of hard to imagine.
00:55:52 Yeah, I know. I know.
00:55:56 But think about it.
00:55:57 If we would have been friends, who knows?
00:55:59 We probably would have been hanging out at that cafe that you worked at.
00:56:03 Help study for finals, or AP test in your case.
00:56:06 Or maybe gone to prom.
00:56:09 Yeah, I don't think that would have happened.
00:56:12 Would it really been so bad?
00:56:15 No.
00:56:17 But we can't go back.
00:56:20 Look,
00:56:23 just because things were one way when we were kids doesn't mean they can't be different now.
00:56:26 Right?
00:56:28 You know, his whole thing about being friends kind of sounds like a note of branch.
00:56:39 A lot of how he's been acting has seemed that way.
00:56:42 Is that bad?
00:56:44 I'm not sure.
00:56:46 I can't say I haven't thought about it. Not in depth.
00:56:48 But it's been kind of nice being friendly now.
00:56:52 More than friendly.
00:56:53 Come on, taking you out to dinner kind of sounds like a date.
00:56:57 It wasn't.
00:56:59 Believe me, it's a miracle we're nearly friends.
00:57:02 Well, everything takes time.
00:57:05 I'm not sure time would make much of a difference.
00:57:09 I can only trust him so much.
00:57:11 Part of me still feels like he's pulling a prank on me.
00:57:15 No.
00:57:17 Like he's going to embarrass me, like all of this has been one big joke.
00:57:21 Well, I don't think he would do that.
00:57:23 But if he did, I tell you what, there's not a single person at the theatre who would let him get away with it.
00:57:27 Thanks.
00:57:29 But we're talking about him.
00:57:31 I can't deny I want to trust him more.
00:57:35 And believe what he's been doing has been genuine, but...
00:57:39 I don't know. Do you want some more?
00:57:41 Sure.
00:57:43 Your father thinks we should just throw it away.
00:57:46 Well, it's no trouble to take a look.
00:57:48 That's what I told him.
00:57:51 He's here already. Best to make the most of it.
00:57:54 What's this about?
00:57:56 An old disagreement.
00:57:58 About?
00:58:00 Your father thinks you're over here too much.
00:58:03 Helping us keep up the house and all.
00:58:08 Oh, it's no problem.
00:58:10 And he's afraid it's keeping you from your life.
00:58:13 My life?
00:58:15 You guys are a big part of my life. There's nothing wrong with that.
00:58:19 I think.
00:58:20 Although, whatever happened with that girl? The one at the theatre?
00:58:25 Oh, uh...
00:58:27 Not much.
00:58:29 We're working together. And that's fine.
00:58:32 We went out to dinner, so...
00:58:35 We might be friends now.
00:58:37 Well, that's nice, dear.
00:58:39 Any chances more than that?
00:58:42 No.
00:58:44 Not yet.
00:58:47 [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
00:58:48 Hey, guess what?
00:58:52 What?
00:58:54 The Nutcracker's starting to sell out.
00:58:56 I compared this to last year, and we're already outpacing it.
00:58:59 The first seven days are sold out, except for the Monday night show.
00:59:02 The second week is at 85%, and that's even with the snag the website had with taking orders.
00:59:07 That is great!
00:59:09 Your strategy must really be working.
00:59:12 Thanks. What's wrong?
00:59:15 Nothing. I'm happy for you.
00:59:17 Sold out houses are great.
00:59:22 But I'm just a little anxious about it, especially when we have a star like Flora Shelley Haynes coming.
00:59:27 Don't worry. That'll be fine.
00:59:30 [ENGINE REVS]
00:59:38 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:59:42 [ENGINE REVS]
00:59:44 How was your flight?
00:59:49 I trust the hotel was satisfactory?
00:59:52 The performance will be magnificent.
00:59:54 Everything you've asked for is ready for you in your dressing room.
00:59:57 The head seamstress is waiting for you for your fitting.
01:00:07 Okay! Everybody should be warmed up. Let's get into positions for the top of Act Two.
01:00:12 And get music playback ready, please!
01:00:15 Ow!
01:00:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:00:28 Lila! Lila, it's Fish. She's... Well, there was an accident.
01:00:44 What?
01:00:46 No, she's fine, but she's not happy.
01:00:48 I can't work in these conditions! I will not jeopardize my safety or my career!
01:00:55 It was a slight mishap and completely fixable.
01:00:57 This time? What if that happened during a show? I won't be humiliated publicly!
01:01:01 Of course not. And we don't want that either.
01:01:03 Get out!
01:01:05 So, slight problem. She's refusing to keep rehearsing.
01:01:10 I'm sorry, but it really was an accident.
01:01:16 What happened?
01:01:18 It's okay, Steve. Just help us understand so we can figure out what to do next.
01:01:22 We had the set pieces right where they needed to go, but somebody changed the blocking with Fish.
01:01:25 Shh! Not so loud. If she hears that nickname, we're gonna have bigger problems.
01:01:28 Wait, they were changing the blocking this late?
01:01:30 She was insisting. So we adjusted the set piece, but before we could lock it off...
01:01:35 Let's just say we got scolded to get out of the way, and one of the other dancers barely bumped it, so it shifted and it scared her.
01:01:42 What do we do now?
01:01:44 Don't worry, guys. Keep doing your work. We'll handle Fish.
01:01:51 Ideas?
01:01:52 Not yet. Can you go sit in her dressing room and make sure she doesn't try and bail on the whole show?
01:01:56 Yeah, go ahead.
01:01:58 Hey, Fish isn't leaving.
01:02:00 How can you be so sure?
01:02:02 Her contract.
01:02:04 And if she accuses us of not having a safe environment, even if it's not true, by the time we work it out, the show is blown.
01:02:09 She's just being a diva.
01:02:11 This is what I get. I knew there was a reason I didn't like this.
01:02:14 What?
01:02:16 I had a feeling this would go south.
01:02:18 Look, we just need to talk her down.
01:02:21 Okay.
01:02:22 I brought eggnog.
01:02:29 What do you want now?
01:02:31 We just want to assure you everything's going to be fine.
01:02:33 Miss Haynes, you've been dancing a long time.
01:02:38 I always admired how early ballerinas start. It must be hard.
01:02:43 Is there a point you're trying to get to?
01:02:48 Not particularly. I was just wondering...
01:02:51 What?
01:02:53 When you started disliking what you do.
01:02:55 I don't... I mean... ballet is my life.
01:03:00 But somewhere along the way it started to feel like work, didn't it?
01:03:03 Maybe.
01:03:06 I get that.
01:03:08 How?
01:03:10 I work at a theater. But I can't just sit back and enjoy the show. Not even at another theater.
01:03:16 It's like I'm betraying this place. It's strange.
01:03:19 Does dancing still make you happy?
01:03:23 Yes.
01:03:25 Just... not all the contracts and travels and... pressure.
01:03:32 You could take a break.
01:03:34 Yeah. Like my manager would allow that.
01:03:37 Well, you don't work for him.
01:03:39 He forgets. So do I sometimes.
01:03:44 Do you want to be here? Because if you don't, it's okay.
01:03:47 Um...
01:03:49 I do.
01:03:51 I just wish it were fun again. You know?
01:03:56 Then let's make it fun. I'm not gonna say relax, because I know it's not that easy.
01:04:02 But you're not alone. We're here too.
01:04:12 Wow, that went better than expected.
01:04:14 Yeah, I...
01:04:16 Glenn!
01:04:18 Yes?
01:04:20 I'm your secret Santa.
01:04:22 Oh, thank you. It's Patty, right?
01:04:26 Yes, and ticket sales. And I saved the best one for last.
01:04:31 I see that.
01:04:33 I know you're new here, and I'm so glad I got your name. Merry Christmas.
01:04:38 Thank you, Patty. Merry Christmas.
01:04:41 So, Patty got your name.
01:04:43 Yeah. That was sweet.
01:04:46 She gives snow globes every year.
01:04:49 The prevailing theory is she collected them her whole life, and she realized it's a pain to dust them all the time.
01:04:55 Wow.
01:05:08 Hey. Glad to see you're leaving at a decent hour.
01:05:11 Why's that?
01:05:13 Because you deserve it. If it wasn't for you, today could have ruined everything.
01:05:17 But you saved it, so... thank you.
01:05:21 You're welcome.
01:05:23 Um...
01:05:25 You wanna take a walk?
01:05:27 There's some cool Christmas displays in a park down the street.
01:05:31 I, um...
01:05:34 Yeah?
01:05:37 Let me put my bags in my car.
01:05:39 What is this?
01:05:51 I like to think of this as the lava game. Like, don't touch the ground.
01:05:55 You just have to put up with the freezing cold.
01:05:58 Wanna try?
01:06:00 Yes.
01:06:01 Whoa!
01:06:06 Careful.
01:06:07 So, Fish. How'd you figure her out?
01:06:12 I just took a chance that she liked to dance still, even though she was acting like it was all a bother.
01:06:19 Normally, you don't do all this if you hate it, right?
01:06:24 So, I just figured maybe something had changed.
01:06:30 Why was she unhappy?
01:06:32 It made sense.
01:06:33 So you could relate, right?
01:06:35 A bit.
01:06:36 I think mostly she just needed to be understood.
01:06:39 Well, good job.
01:06:44 Thanks.
01:06:45 When I came here, I was actually intimidated by you.
01:06:55 Me?
01:06:57 Yeah. Everyone said you were amazing to work with and so pivotal to the theater.
01:07:02 Now, though, I'm glad I got to see firsthand that it's true.
01:07:06 That's nice of you to say.
01:07:09 I mean it.
01:07:10 There's a lot of things that I overlooked when we were younger.
01:07:15 I wish I had, but I'm glad I'm not missing them now.
01:07:19 Thanks.
01:07:21 This is cool. You wanna ride?
01:07:30 What? What's wrong?
01:07:32 Is this a joke?
01:07:33 What? No, I thought this would be nice.
01:07:37 Well, it might have been, but senior year, the Christmas fair?
01:07:41 The hayride.
01:07:45 Lila, that's not what this is.
01:07:49 I want to believe you, but I just keep waiting for the real you to reappear, and I don't want to be hurt when that happens.
01:07:55 Okay, this is the real me. Now.
01:07:59 I was immature and thoughtless, but I've changed. Or at least I'm trying to.
01:08:05 Lila, please.
01:08:08 Maybe we should just keep our interactions work-related and at the theater.
01:08:13 Lila!
01:08:15 Donuts?
01:08:24 No, thanks.
01:08:25 Donuts!
01:08:27 Yes! Thank you so much.
01:08:29 You're welcome.
01:08:30 Hey, Zeke.
01:08:32 I like the maple ones.
01:08:33 Hey.
01:08:37 You can take your pick. I have a call.
01:08:41 Okay. Is she, like, avoiding you?
01:08:45 Kind of. I thought you were getting along.
01:08:48 Yeah, me too.
01:08:50 Who is it?
01:08:55 Chris!
01:08:56 Good! You can let yourself in.
01:08:58 Amy and Lacey made you some brownies.
01:09:02 Hmm, that's nice.
01:09:04 In your pajamas already?
01:09:07 Yes, it's been a long week.
01:09:09 Christmas Carol just finished two days ago, so now we can fully focus on launching the Nutcracker.
01:09:15 We have full rehearsals, the scenery, the works.
01:09:18 Well, when's opening night?
01:09:19 Friday.
01:09:22 That's when we're wrapping and delivering the presents for the sub for Santa family.
01:09:26 Oh. Well, it's a really busy night.
01:09:30 Especially with Flora Shelley Haynes here.
01:09:32 I feel like that name should mean something to me.
01:09:36 Probably not. But I need to be around.
01:09:39 Always some reason, right?
01:09:41 Can we not do this right now? I have a lot on my mind.
01:09:45 Fine.
01:09:46 Hey, pass the popcorn.
01:09:49 Ah.
01:09:50 Please tell me it's caffeine.
01:09:57 In some form, it's fudge.
01:10:04 Expired six months ago.
01:10:08 Any idea who it's from?
01:10:12 Yes, I was right.
01:10:14 Derek told me himself, and then one of the dancers came and said he'd given up sugar, so...
01:10:19 Ah. Well, you win, I guess.
01:10:22 Are you any closer to figuring out who your secret Santa is?
01:10:25 No. And I haven't gotten anything yet this week either.
01:10:29 Maybe he or she is procrastinating? Or shy?
01:10:34 What if it's Glenn?
01:10:36 No. The gifts have been way too nice.
01:10:39 You keep thinking he is incapable of kindness.
01:10:43 Doesn't matter.
01:10:44 If it didn't matter, you would just accept the possibility that he could be your secret Santa, and you wouldn't give it another thought.
01:10:50 Instead, you keep analyzing his motives.
01:10:53 Because I still don't know if I can trust him.
01:10:55 Okay. I do not deny that you have issues with trust.
01:11:00 But it's not just Glenn. I mean, you hang around here constantly as if if you were to leave, the entire thing would fall apart.
01:11:07 That's not true.
01:11:08 Then what is it? Do you not trust that anybody else could fix any problems?
01:11:12 No.
01:11:13 Lila, when are you going to acknowledge how much everyone else does around here?
01:11:17 I do. We have an amazing team.
01:11:20 And yet you don't trust them?
01:11:22 I mean, what are you going to do if Flora Shelley-Haines' costume rips in the middle of the show?
01:11:27 Are you going to rush in and sew her back together in between numbers?
01:11:31 Just think about it.
01:11:34 And with Glenn, love him or hate him, but if I'm right,
01:11:40 then he's the one who's been putting a lot of effort into each one of these gifts just to make you smile.
01:11:45 And that means something.
01:12:09 Excuse me, Lila.
01:12:10 Sorry.
01:12:11 Oh, hey. The message just came in. I thought it could wait till tomorrow, but since you're still here.
01:12:22 And just so you know, you're supposed to reveal yourself to your secret Santa this week.
01:12:27 Ah, great. With opening night, that's what everyone needs. Distraction.
01:12:32 Kind of the idea, I like to think. Helps us relax.
01:12:36 Could you give my gift to Lila? I'll bring it in tomorrow.
01:12:39 I could, but don't you want the credit?
01:12:42 At this point, I'm not sure what she'll think.
01:12:46 It's up to you. I'm your assistant and you're the boss.
01:12:49 Well, she might be more of the boss than you, but that's not the point. I can give it to her if that's what you want.
01:12:53 Or you could just leave it for her and not tell her it's you.
01:12:57 I thought you said we had to tell her.
01:12:59 Yeah, but it's Christmas. No one cares about a little mystery.
01:13:02 She'll know it's me pretty easily.
01:13:05 Then even if I give it to her, she'd know, right?
01:13:08 Right. Goodnight.
01:13:11 Hey, it's Chris. Look, I know you probably can't make it tomorrow, but if something changes, we'll be at my house starting around six.
01:13:27 [Christmas music]
01:13:29 So guests will start to arrive in about half an hour?
01:13:38 It'll be fixed in time.
01:13:39 You're amazing. Thank you so much.
01:13:41 Hi. Slight maintenance issue, but we will be ready.
01:13:45 I believe you.
01:13:46 Are you running some errands?
01:13:48 I actually realized I have some things to do with Chris and my mom.
01:13:52 But everything looks great here, so do you mind if I leave it in your hands?
01:13:56 But it's opening night. I think you can handle it.
01:13:59 Yeah, I mean, I can.
01:14:01 Thanks, Marie.
01:14:03 Enjoy your night.
01:14:05 I will.
01:14:06 [doorbell rings]
01:14:08 I'll get it.
01:14:09 Are there still presents for me to wrap?
01:14:15 Look who I found.
01:14:17 Barbara!
01:14:19 Hey, Lacey.
01:14:20 You came!
01:14:21 Well, get over here. Pick some wrapping paper.
01:14:23 [Christmas music]
01:14:27 Okay, what have we here?
01:14:29 Some wrapping paper.
01:14:30 A little silver bread.
01:14:31 Silver.
01:14:34 Silver bread.
01:14:35 Good.
01:14:37 Good job.
01:14:38 We're done.
01:14:39 [Christmas music]
01:14:42 [Christmas music]
01:14:46 [Christmas music]
01:14:48 [applause]
01:15:00 Beautiful work, everyone. Beautiful work.
01:15:11 This is for Curtain Call.
01:15:14 That was an amazing opening night.
01:15:16 Congratulations.
01:15:17 And nothing went wrong. I...
01:15:18 Yeah, Lila would be relieved. Have you seen her?
01:15:20 Uh, yeah. She went home early.
01:15:22 She did?
01:15:23 Yes. It's a miracle, I know.
01:15:25 Yeah. Good for her.
01:15:27 Lacey, wait up.
01:15:31 Come on.
01:15:32 Is this the right address?
01:15:33 Yes.
01:15:34 I double-checked in.
01:15:35 Remember that one year?
01:15:36 Oh, yeah.
01:15:37 Hey, we made a family very happy that year. It's just the wrong one.
01:15:40 Can I knock on the door?
01:15:42 You ready?
01:15:43 Go ahead, Lacey.
01:15:44 [knocking]
01:15:46 Merry Christmas!
01:15:51 [Christmas music]
01:15:54 That's a pretty one.
01:16:00 Do we have any purple icing?
01:16:02 No.
01:16:03 Oh, Chris!
01:16:04 We should have made these earlier to take to the supper Santa family.
01:16:07 Looks like there's more for me tonight, though.
01:16:10 You need it.
01:16:12 Good night, huh?
01:16:13 The best.
01:16:14 I'm glad you made it.
01:16:16 Me too.
01:16:17 Can I ask you what changed your mind?
01:16:21 Yeah.
01:16:22 I guess I figured out that being manager means leading.
01:16:28 And leading doesn't mean doing everything on my own.
01:16:32 Good.
01:16:33 And I was starting to lose the love for it. You know, for the theatre.
01:16:37 I don't want to resent it.
01:16:40 I want to still be able to go and just get lost in the magic.
01:16:45 Aw, look at you. Growing up.
01:16:49 Josh.
01:16:50 So, what's going on with Glenn?
01:16:55 Nothing.
01:16:57 Why not?
01:16:58 You know why.
01:17:00 Hm. It's a shame.
01:17:03 You know, for someone you supposedly hate, I could have sworn I saw some sparks between you two.
01:17:09 Okay, I don't hate him, and there were no sparks.
01:17:12 Sure.
01:17:13 You know, years ago, before Lacey, Amy and I nearly called it quits.
01:17:21 Really? What happened?
01:17:25 We were going through some problems, silly things.
01:17:28 But it all just boiled down to us not listening to each other.
01:17:31 And then us getting upset at each other for it.
01:17:35 And then she asked me, "What did I want? Stay together or not?"
01:17:40 You know, I nearly said the wrong thing.
01:17:43 But then I had this thought, "If I didn't give us one more chance, I'd regret it."
01:17:51 Now look at us.
01:17:54 There's not one thing I would change since then.
01:17:58 I just don't want you to miss out on a chance at being happy.
01:18:04 Who says Glenn has that chance?
01:18:06 Who says he's not?
01:18:09 Lila.
01:18:14 Yes, ma'am. The reviews for the show.
01:18:17 Excellent.
01:18:19 It was fantastic.
01:18:21 Oh, that's great.
01:18:22 Good work.
01:18:23 Thank you. I'll pass that along to everyone. They worked really hard.
01:18:26 Keep it up.
01:18:27 Thanks.
01:18:31 I've got a quote here for the new lighting package.
01:18:34 The one Steve keeps pushing for?
01:18:35 Yeah.
01:18:36 I told him.
01:18:37 What's that?
01:18:39 I think it's for my secret Santa.
01:18:43 "To find your last gift, you'll need to talk with the person who keeps the dancers on their toes."
01:18:50 Cute. It's like a riddle.
01:18:52 Who keeps the dancers on their toes?
01:18:54 Um, Tobias?
01:18:56 Yes, that makes sense.
01:18:57 Is he here yet?
01:18:58 I think so. Let's go.
01:19:00 Tobias?
01:19:05 Lila. I've been expecting you.
01:19:08 You have? So are you...
01:19:11 Am I...
01:19:12 My secret Santa?
01:19:13 Oh, no. But this is for you.
01:19:19 Oh. Thanks.
01:19:22 Another one?
01:19:26 Another one?
01:19:27 I guess.
01:19:28 "You can't buy whiteout without authorization from this department."
01:19:34 Office supplies accounting?
01:19:37 But who?
01:19:38 Oh.
01:19:42 Hey, Evan! They were just coming to see you.
01:19:46 Oh, good.
01:19:47 Is this what you were looking for?
01:19:49 Are you my secret Santa?
01:19:51 Is that what this is about? No. I'm not.
01:19:54 Oh. Who gave you that envelope, then?
01:19:57 I'm guessing I shouldn't tell you.
01:20:00 It's worth a try.
01:20:04 Read it.
01:20:05 "If you need a better seat, this person will find the best one in the house for you."
01:20:10 Oh.
01:20:11 Patty.
01:20:12 Good luck.
01:20:15 Thank you.
01:20:16 "The shows look beautiful thanks to this person."
01:20:23 They're not talking about the dancers again, are they?
01:20:25 "Looks beautiful." Maybe the makeup?
01:20:28 Oh, no. The scenery!
01:20:30 Steve.
01:20:31 Hi, Steve.
01:20:38 Well, it took you long enough.
01:20:40 Do you have an envelope for me?
01:20:42 No. But I was told to give you this.
01:20:47 Go on.
01:20:50 Right.
01:20:52 Oh, nice.
01:20:54 Okay, going with the keeping warm theme.
01:20:57 No, it's crocheted.
01:21:00 Handmade.
01:21:02 Lila?
01:21:07 I know who it's from.
01:21:09 Oh.
01:21:11 This fell.
01:21:13 Thank you.
01:21:15 You're welcome.
01:21:18 This fell.
01:21:19 Thanks.
01:21:21 "The scarf isn't perfect, but neither am I.
01:21:31 If you can overlook that, wear the scarf and meet me at Santa's house for a photo together."
01:21:37 Oh, excuse me.
01:21:47 I'm so sorry. Excuse me.
01:21:49 Nice neckwear.
01:22:08 Thanks. It's new.
01:22:10 This guy I know made it for me.
01:22:12 He made it for you, huh?
01:22:13 It's a pretty rare talent nowadays.
01:22:15 Maybe. But it's the thought that counts.
01:22:18 I hope so.
01:22:20 Thank you for the gifts.
01:22:23 You're welcome.
01:22:24 All of them were really special to me.
01:22:27 They showed me that someone saw me and knew me.
01:22:33 A few weeks ago, I never would have thought that was you.
01:22:36 I understand why.
01:22:39 But you have changed.
01:22:43 And I really admire you for it.
01:22:46 You do?
01:22:48 Thank you.
01:22:50 I was hoping you'd forgive me for so long.
01:22:55 But the thing is, that's not all I've wished for.
01:23:01 What more do you want?
01:23:04 For you to feel something beyond admiration for me.
01:23:11 I think you might have a chance.
01:23:13 I do?
01:23:15 Yeah.
01:23:16 Merry Christmas!
01:23:23 Oh, yeah!
01:23:25 Merry Christmas!
01:23:27 Merry Christmas!
01:23:30 Hello.
01:23:32 Merry Christmas!
