00:00:00I wait for Christmas all year long
00:00:16How I wish that I could only change it
00:00:23Take the calendar and rearrange it
00:00:27Then every day would be so nice
00:00:31Keep an open mind. Don't look for a reason to run.
00:00:43Sam?
00:00:44Dr. Vance de Blaine.
00:00:46I'm so sorry I'm late. Surgery ran long.
00:00:48All good. Nice to finally meet you.
00:00:51Same. I know we said drinks, but should we grab a table?
00:00:57Most people think a tonsillectomy is just for when you're young, but a lot of adults have them, too.
00:01:01Is that so?
00:01:02It is.
00:01:04So, Sam, your profile said you're a business manager?
00:01:08Vague. I know.
00:01:10Basically, I help high net worth clients manage their money and assets and guide them to hopefully make prudent decisions.
00:01:16Right now, I'm trying to convince one client not to buy a social media company.
00:01:19Kids are so cute at that age.
00:01:25Hmm?
00:01:26Don't mind me. I'm kid crazy right now.
00:01:28My brother and his wife just had twins back in August.
00:01:31My first time being an uncle.
00:01:32Oh.
00:01:34Want to see pictures of them?
00:01:34Oh, no, that's okay.
00:01:35I... Oh, yes, there they are.
00:01:37There are two of them.
00:01:39Leah and Chloe.
00:01:40They live in Portland.
00:01:41Can't wait to see them for Christmas.
00:01:43Makes me want to have twins when I get married.
00:01:44Mm-hmm.
00:01:46Okay.
00:01:47Do you have any, uh, nieces or nephews?
00:01:49Hmm?
00:01:51Uh, yes.
00:01:52One of each.
00:01:53Miles and Dania.
00:01:54They live with my sister and brother-in-law in Brayden.
00:01:57It's not too far away.
00:01:58You must see them all the time.
00:01:59Not really.
00:02:00Uh, being self-employed means working 24-7.
00:02:03You know, plus I find the suburbs confusing with all the peace and quiet and lawn gnomes in front of the identical houses.
00:02:11Will you see them for Christmas?
00:02:12No.
00:02:13I will be on a plane to Hawaii in T-minus 22 hours and four minutes.
00:02:19It's my first attempt at relaxation in longer than I care to admit because, well, it'll just depress me.
00:02:24Wait, you're going to Hawaii for Christmas?
00:02:26That's right.
00:02:27Without your family?
00:02:28Yes.
00:02:29I'm sorry, Murph.
00:02:56No time for fetch.
00:02:58Off to work I go.
00:03:01Hey, Mom.
00:03:02Hello, my baby boy.
00:03:04Would you like to come over for lunch?
00:03:05I made extra lasagna.
00:03:07And Arabella is here while your brother's at the store.
00:03:10I wish I could, but I'm off to work on Kathleen and Nate's nursery.
00:03:13You know, their babies do New Year's.
00:03:15That's right.
00:03:16Hey, did they give you any tips on adopting?
00:03:19Yeah, they did.
00:03:20And, uh, I'm looking over some documents.
00:03:22Oh, and I have an appointment with their lawyer in January.
00:03:24This is so exciting.
00:03:26Maybe by next Christmas I'll be a grandma again.
00:03:28Oh, tap the brakes.
00:03:34I can practically see you knitting booties now.
00:03:36Look, this is going to take some time.
00:03:38And it's a surprisingly hefty retainer fee for me to get things in place.
00:03:41Well, don't wait too long.
00:03:42Your brothers and sisters have a head start on you.
00:03:44I'm starting to lose count of how many grandkids I have.
00:03:47Grandma?
00:03:48This is very funny.
00:03:50I'll call you later.
00:03:50Bye-bye, honey.
00:03:55Good morning.
00:03:56Morning.
00:04:03You are in such trouble.
00:04:07Now?
00:04:07Now.
00:04:08But that's...
00:04:09Two weeks early.
00:04:10I thought we were having a New Year's baby.
00:04:12Christmas.
00:04:12We're not ready.
00:04:14Tell that to the baby.
00:04:15Oh, I'm bringing it up when she's 18.
00:04:17We need to focus.
00:04:18Ampac.
00:04:20Okay.
00:04:20Okay.
00:04:20Yeah.
00:04:26Lydia said the birth mother just started having real contractions.
00:04:29Okay, so we may have a bit of time.
00:04:30I think so.
00:04:31The drive from here to Buffalo is nine hours.
00:04:33Yeah, and that huge snowstorm is a couple of days away.
00:04:35That's not our biggest problem right now.
00:04:37What's our biggest problem right now?
00:04:39Who's going to watch Miles and Donya while we're gone?
00:04:41Yeah, the kids.
00:04:42What about your mom?
00:04:43She's still at her art retreat in Italy.
00:04:44She's not supposed to fly in until the day after Christmas.
00:04:47Yeah, my parents are still on vacation in Sydney.
00:04:48Where's Frank?
00:04:49Dad's at his fishing cabin with no service.
00:04:52What about Miles watching Donya?
00:04:54I mean, he's 13 now.
00:04:56Right, yeah.
00:04:57Terrible idea.
00:04:57Forget I suggested it.
00:04:58Whoever it is has to be trustworthy and responsible.
00:05:02And have nothing else going on.
00:05:04Four days before Christmas.
00:05:07I'm not saying that you can't buy the yacht, Stavros.
00:05:14I'm asking if it's truly the best use of your bonus, considering you already have one.
00:05:23Yes, you did.
00:05:25Last year.
00:05:27There you go, exactly.
00:05:28Okay, so, there are many things we can do.
00:05:30We can take the...
00:05:31Tigers are legal.
00:05:36Uh, Stavros, I'm gonna have to call you back on my way to Hawaii, okay?
00:05:42Just, just don't buy anything.
00:05:45What?
00:05:45Shut the front door.
00:05:47That's why she was acting so weird.
00:05:49Yeah, it turns out she was planning the world's most romantic proposal.
00:05:52Did she dress up in a suit of armor and ride a horse with a jousting pole and a ring on it?
00:05:56Did one of your clients do that?
00:05:58Omar, don't ask me how I found the jousting pole.
00:06:00Never, and no, she didn't.
00:06:02It was roses, I love you, and this ring.
00:06:07It's perfect.
00:06:08This deserves a toast.
00:06:11Oh, my God, I knew you'd have two champagne blutes handy.
00:06:14In my line of work, you always have to be ready to celebrate in case a big deal goes through.
00:06:20And this pretty much qualifies as a big deal.
00:06:25Boom!
00:06:26It's exciting!
00:06:27Okay, but really, can you believe it?
00:06:30Like, I'm engaged.
00:06:31Honestly, Ellie, I can't.
00:06:34Didn't we always say that marriage is for other people?
00:06:38Yeah.
00:06:39Well, I don't know.
00:06:42Things change when you meet the one.
00:06:44Ew, I heard it.
00:06:44It's cliche, but it's true.
00:06:46I'll take your word for it.
00:06:48Hey, you know what?
00:06:48It could happen for you, too, though.
00:06:50Oh, wait.
00:06:52It can't.
00:06:53Because that means that you'd have to make it to a second date and, like, you know, oh, that thing you do where you look for a reason to run.
00:06:59You can't do that.
00:07:01Then what?
00:07:02Move to the suburbs and settle down like my sister?
00:07:04Or me and Abby.
00:07:05We're talking about moving there.
00:07:07We could be neighbors again.
00:07:08Please.
00:07:10Can you imagine me in the suburbs with a husband, a dog, and an SUV?
00:07:17Why not?
00:07:18Sam, more than anything, I just, you know, I hope one day you find a guy that makes you want to break open a bottle of champagne and, you know, have it just be for you.
00:07:31Congrats.
00:07:32Uncle Jason.
00:07:38Oh, hey, Arabella.
00:07:39Grandma told me to bring this to you in case you get hungry.
00:07:42Oh, thanks.
00:07:43Lasagna.
00:07:45Of course.
00:07:46Hi, Arabella.
00:07:48Hey, Miles.
00:07:49Are you going to be at the playtrouts tomorrow?
00:07:52Yeah.
00:07:53Sure.
00:07:54Totally.
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:55Cool.
00:07:55See you there.
00:07:57Bye, Uncle Jason.
00:07:58Bye, Arabella.
00:07:58Bye.
00:07:59Bye.
00:08:02So, the community center is doing the life and times of Santa Claus this year.
00:08:05Arabella is the elf queen.
00:08:07And the kid who's supposed to be the narrator has to go out of town, so they're looking for a replacement ASAP.
00:08:11Got it.
00:08:12I can text your parents the info if you really want to audition.
00:08:16Yeah, I do, thanks.
00:08:20I'm going to get you.
00:08:21Okay, you two.
00:08:24Anything?
00:08:25Aunt Martha's in Oklahoma.
00:08:27What about the Huntons?
00:08:29Hattie said that they're going to pass families in Michigan tomorrow.
00:08:31Yeah, we're just so close to Christmas.
00:08:34What about Jason?
00:08:36He's babysat the kids before and he's thinking about adopting.
00:08:39This could be a trial run.
00:08:40You know, we just hired him as the contractor for the nursery.
00:08:43It feels like a lot to ask more than an evening.
00:08:45You know, like we're...
00:08:46Yeah, taking advantage.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:51We could ask your brother.
00:08:55Are you kidding?
00:08:56Don't you remember what happened last time?
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:09:01I'll totally pay for that.
00:09:18He did pay for it.
00:09:21That's not the point.
00:09:22Sam doesn't know the first thing about kids.
00:09:24Plus, he'd probably say no anyhow.
00:09:25He hasn't visited us since...
00:09:30You know, Sam's family.
00:09:33He's only a couple of hours away and, hon,
00:09:35it's kind of our only option.
00:09:36Is everything okay?
00:10:00Why do you say it like that?
00:10:01Because we haven't talked since...
00:10:04Did mom tell you that Nate and I are adopting again?
00:10:10Yeah, she mentioned something about that a few months ago.
00:10:12How's it going, by the way?
00:10:14The birth mother just went into labor.
00:10:16Ah, so going soon then?
00:10:18Sooner than expected.
00:10:19She wasn't supposed to arrive till New Year's.
00:10:21And mom was going to help, but she's not set to arrive till the 26th to watch Miles and Donya,
00:10:27and we have to drive out to Buffalo to get the baby today.
00:10:31It'll cost her a kidney to rebook this close to Christmas.
00:10:34That's what she said.
00:10:35Anyway, we need to find someone ASAP to come here and be with the kids until we get back.
00:10:41Wait.
00:10:41Are you asking me to babysit?
00:10:46I know it's been a really long time since you've been drafted into service.
00:10:49Years.
00:10:50It's been years, Kath.
00:10:51We're obviously desperate, but you are the only person who never goes anywhere for the holidays.
00:10:56Ah.
00:10:57And you can make all of your work calls here, when you're not with the kids, of course.
00:11:04Ugh.
00:11:05God.
00:11:07You're going to make me do it, aren't you?
00:11:09Fine.
00:11:10I'm calling in the Calvin card.
00:11:12What?
00:11:13It has been 22 years!
00:11:16You made me lie to mom and dad about where you were on senior night in high school
00:11:19when you snuck out with Calvin Karnacki to Central Park,
00:11:22and I told them that you were with Sonia Perez and Lola Kurtz
00:11:25so that you wouldn't get grounded for the whole entire summer.
00:11:28You totally owe me big time.
00:11:30God, I can't believe you're calling that in!
00:11:34Desperate times, desperate measures.
00:11:36Isn't there, like, a professional Mary Poppins service out there you can hire?
00:11:40Someone who has the slightest clue on what to do with children
00:11:43and who didn't blow up the house last time they tried.
00:11:47You know what?
00:11:48I knew better than to ask,
00:11:50but Nate pulled his Sam's Family Jedi mind tricks and I fell for it.
00:11:54I guess I'm just going to have to leave Miles in charge after all.
00:11:57Merry Christmas, Sam.
00:12:08Miles being in charge was sarcasm, right?
00:12:10He's 13. Of course it was sarcasm.
00:12:12Just checking.
00:12:13How long would this arrangement entail?
00:12:17Two days.
00:12:18Probably.
00:12:19Probably?
00:12:19You know, Sam, babies have their own schedules, but you won't.
00:12:23I will leave you a detailed one and make sure that you don't have to worry about a thing.
00:12:29Ah!
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:32Seriously?
00:12:33Okay.
00:12:34Wow.
00:12:35But I don't have to cook.
00:12:37Absolutely not.
00:12:37Best behavior from both of you, okay?
00:12:47Okay.
00:12:48Jason's going to watch over you until Uncle Sam gets here.
00:12:50I don't need a babysitter anymore.
00:12:52Well, your sister does.
00:12:54Unless you want to do all the cooking and cleaning for her while I'm gone?
00:12:56No.
00:12:57No.
00:12:57I'll stay until your brother gets here.
00:12:59And I'll finish at the nursery before you get back.
00:13:01You're amazing.
00:13:02Thank you so much.
00:13:03Okay, car is packed.
00:13:05Christmas is in four days.
00:13:07You'll be back in time, right?
00:13:08Of course, sweetie.
00:13:11Promise?
00:13:13I promise.
00:13:14We will absolutely be back in time for Christmas.
00:13:20And we'll bring your new baby sister, too.
00:13:23See you later, buddy.
00:13:29I'm sorry.
00:13:30You gave up Hawaii.
00:13:32To babysit?
00:13:33Didn't give up.
00:13:34I merely delayed my departure.
00:13:35But my baby sister hasn't asked me to watch the kids since...
00:13:39Since you almost burned down their kitchen making an omelet.
00:13:41It was a minor fire quickly extinguished.
00:13:44Plus, my plan is just to order in everything.
00:13:47That's expensive.
00:13:48Cheaper than a remodel.
00:13:49Sam, you have an aversion to kids.
00:13:52No, no.
00:13:52Not an aversion.
00:13:53I'm awkward and uncomfortable.
00:13:56Mainly when they're tiny.
00:13:57But Miles is like 13.
00:13:59He's practically in college now.
00:14:00What?
00:14:01And Dania is...
00:14:01Well, she's somewhere between, like, 6 and 10.
00:14:08So, we're gonna be able to communicate like adults.
00:14:10It's gonna be a disaster.
00:14:12Ah, ye of little faith.
00:14:14I'm going to rock these two nights of Guncle Hood.
00:14:17And then it's off to checking work emails on sandy beaches, sipping Mai Tais.
00:14:23I got this.
00:14:24You got this.
00:14:25Yeah.
00:14:29I got this.
00:14:30Sorry.
00:14:45Yeah!
00:14:46Let's go!
00:14:47That's it.
00:14:49Time for you to hit the hay.
00:14:50Oh, come on.
00:14:51This is just because you lost.
00:14:52And because it's 15 minutes past when your mom said she wanted you to be in bed.
00:14:56But, in deference to your victory, I'll clean up.
00:15:01Yes!
00:15:01I think this is the place.
00:15:30Thanks for the ride.
00:15:38Yep, I got it.
00:15:40No problemo.
00:15:44Good to go!

00:33:01play this year and he said that the only reason that miles got the part is because the other kid

00:33:09boy ah yes young love is tough old love's not much better what do we do well i was thinking since you

00:47:13Congratulations.
00:47:15When can you get home?
00:47:16We're going to video call with Kathleen and Nate soon.
00:47:19I'm on my way.
00:47:28Hello, hello, hello.
00:47:39Oh, you're so cute.
00:47:40Look at her.
00:47:43What's her name?
00:47:44Uh, we're still working on that.
00:47:47Are you going to make it back in time for Christmas?
00:47:49Uh, we're going to do our best, honey.
00:47:50Yeah, it's still very hard outside, though.
00:47:53But you promised.
00:47:55We did.
00:47:56And we're going to be there.
00:47:58Can your sedan handle traveling and so much snow?
00:48:00I'm not sure.
00:48:01What about an airplane?
00:48:03We can't take your sister on an airplane, sweetie.
00:48:05She's just too young.
00:48:07Have you asked Dad for help?
00:48:08His cabin's less than an hour from Buffalo,
00:48:10and he's got that huge SUV you guys could drive together to be safe.
00:48:14Dad would be great if we could reach him,
00:48:16but he has no cell reception, and he never answers the landline.
00:48:19What about Mr. Biddle?
00:48:20He's a neighbor closer to town.
00:48:22Mom calls him to drive up to Dad's place to tell him to call her all the time.
00:48:25But Mom's in Italy.
00:48:26I guess I could try to get her attention to get Mr. Biddle's number.
00:48:30I have his number.
00:48:31You do?
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:33I went fishing there every summer with Dad until I was 16.
00:48:36You fished?
00:48:36Weird, right?
00:48:37That's a good idea.
00:48:38That's a really good idea, Sam.
00:48:48Did you see the look in Danya's eyes?
00:48:50If we're not back in time for Christmas, she will never forgive us.
00:48:54Sam will reach your dad, and he'll drive a lead for us.
00:48:58We'll make it home in time for Christmas.
00:49:00But we have to be safe about it.
00:49:02Right?
00:49:02Thank you so much, Mr. Biddle.
00:49:09It's really important that I talk to Dad.
00:49:12Oh, no.
00:49:13It's tough, Rose.
00:49:15What was that?
00:49:17Oh, yeah.
00:49:17It has been a while since I've been fishing.
00:49:19Uh-huh.
00:49:21This summer.
00:49:22Okay.
00:49:22Um, maybe we can do that.
00:49:24We can come up with Dad, go to the cabin.
00:49:25It'll be a whole thing.
00:49:26Yep.
00:49:28Yep.
00:49:29Yes, thank you.
00:49:30Thank you so much.
00:49:32Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:49:40Oh.
00:49:42Nice work.
00:49:43Oh, thanks.
00:49:45I always find painting to be soothing.
00:49:49Can I help?
00:49:50You might get paint on your nice sweater.
00:49:52Oh.
00:49:52Uh-huh.
00:49:56So, I changed my departure to Christmas Day.
00:50:12After the presents from Santa have been opened, of course.
00:50:16I mean, even if they do make it back in time for the play,
00:50:18they're going to be wiped out.
00:50:20Makes sense.
00:50:21Oh, and Kathleen wanted me to wrap some presents,
00:50:24so I'm going to do that while you and Miles are at rehearsal.
00:50:28And what about Donya?
00:50:29She'll be around.
00:50:30Right.
00:50:32I'm still getting used to this whole sneaky parent behavior thing.
00:50:36You missed a spot?
00:50:39Yes, dear.
00:50:42I can help you.
00:50:43Grab the presents, if you like.
00:50:45When?
00:50:46After rehearsal.
00:50:47Maybe you and Donya can come, too,
00:50:49and then afterwards you can wrap the presents when they're asleep.
00:50:52I have to earn my uncle consultant keep, after all.
00:51:00So the retainer fee was for the adoption lawyer, huh?
00:51:04Yeah, same as Kathleen and Nance.
00:51:06They're helping me through the process.
00:51:07It's a big step, being a single parent.
00:51:10I mean, I'm exhausted just co-uncling with you.
00:51:13And now you sound like everyone else I know.
00:51:17Especially the guys I used to date back in Los Angeles.
00:51:20Was it bad?
00:51:22Not bad, so much as just disheartening.
00:51:25You know, I date a guy for a while,
00:51:26and then as soon as I got to the,
00:51:28oh, you're serious about having a family thing,
00:51:30I just ghosted.
00:51:32Last guy went to the bathroom, and he just never came back.
00:51:35Seriously?
00:51:36Yeah.
00:51:36So I paid the check,
00:51:39and then started making plans to move home to Brayden.
00:51:42Well, I would never do that to you.
00:51:46Yeah, at least pay the check.
00:51:47Right?
00:51:48Hey.
00:52:05Hey.
00:52:05Hey.
00:52:06How'd it go?
00:52:08Better.
00:52:10And then Arabella came on stage with Declan,
00:52:13and Miles got off track.
00:52:15Well, we still have a day.
00:52:16It's a Christmas play in a community theater.
00:52:20Nobody's expecting Shakespeare.
00:52:22Except maybe a couple of parents.
00:52:26My goal is for the kids to learn and have fun.
00:52:30Doesn't seem like Miles is having any fun.
00:52:34Yeah.
00:52:35And if need be, I can read the narrowest part.
00:52:38That would embarrass Miles even more.
00:52:40Look, brother, favor.
00:52:42Don't decide yet.
00:52:44Sam and I will see what we can do.
00:52:45I will see what we can do.
00:52:49Sure.
00:52:58Hold this.
00:53:00I'll be right back.
00:53:01Dad!
00:53:02Hey!
00:53:03Hey!
00:53:04Burt Biddle came up to my place today
00:53:06to tell me that my family was looking for me.
00:53:08Is everything okay?
00:53:10Yes, actually.
00:53:11The news is all good.
00:53:12You're a grandpa again.
00:53:15From you?
00:53:17What?
00:53:17No.
00:53:18Dad, come on.
00:53:19Right?
00:53:19I mean, that's why I was confused.
00:53:21It's Kathleen and Nate.
00:53:22Remember the baby that was supposed to come New Year's Day?
00:53:25Well, she came early,
00:53:27and they're stuck in a snowstorm,
00:53:28and it's gonna...
00:53:29You know what?
00:53:30Let me back up to the part
00:53:31where you get the chance
00:53:33to save Christmas.
00:53:53I think it looks cute.
00:53:58Oh, okay.
00:54:01So, how are we gonna wrap that?
00:54:05A lot of tape, my friend.
00:54:08Okay.
00:54:09Okay.
00:54:13Nope, not this way.
00:54:14Nope, that's...
00:54:17Okay.
00:54:22Okay.
00:54:26Okay.
00:54:27That's a disaster.
00:54:28No, it's perfect.
00:54:31So bad.
00:54:31So, what do you want to do?
00:54:38About Miles?
00:54:40I can talk to him tomorrow.
00:54:43You know, see if I can come up with any techniques
00:54:45that'll help him focus.
00:54:46Well, I can watch Donya while you do.
00:54:49Maybe I can finally get her to make the Christmas stocking.
00:54:52About that.
00:54:54I feel like I'm taking advantage of you.
00:54:56What do you mean?
00:54:57Our original deal was for a couple of days, at most.
00:55:00We're headed into day four.
00:55:01If you count you watching them before I arrived.
00:55:05I don't.
00:55:06But I do.
00:55:09The nursery's almost done.
00:55:10You must have other things you have to do.
00:55:12It slows down around the holidays.
00:55:16Besides, I'd feel like I was quitting in the middle
00:55:17if I left now.
00:55:19But don't consider it part of, you know, payment.
00:55:22Of course I'd consider it part of the payment.
00:55:25I'm not gonna take advantage of your kindness.
00:55:31Uncle Sam.
00:55:33Uncle Sam.
00:55:37Uncle Sam.
00:55:38Hey.
00:55:43What are you doing up?
00:55:45Can we talk?
00:55:48Okay.
00:55:49Knock, knock. Can I come in?
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:07What's going on?
00:56:09I miss Mom and Dad.
00:56:11What if they don't make it back here for Christmas?
00:56:14Well, you know they're doing everything in their power to make it back here in time.
00:56:19But I've got to be safe about it.
00:56:21I know. It's just, I wish they hadn't gone away in the first place.
00:56:29You know, I'm a little bit older than your mom.
00:56:34And so I got to be an only child for a while.
00:56:37And I have to say, I really liked it.
00:56:42Like, a lot.
00:56:44Then one day, my mom and dad told me that I was going to be a big brother.
00:56:50And I didn't like that.
00:56:53You didn't like Mom?
00:56:54No.
00:56:55It wasn't your mom.
00:56:57It was the fact that I wasn't going to be the only one anymore.
00:57:00I was scared my parents wouldn't love me the same.
00:57:07Did they?
00:57:08They did.
00:57:10Just the same.
00:57:12And you having a little sister isn't going to change how your parents feel about you or Miles.
00:57:18They will always love you.
00:57:21Because you are you.
00:57:24You really think so?
00:57:27I know so.
00:57:31Thanks Uncle Sam.
00:57:32Now you need to get some sleep.
00:57:44What did you say?
00:57:53No.
00:57:53No.
00:57:54What?
00:57:57Oh, my God.
00:58:27Oh. Did you order all this in? Nope. Made freshly by yours truly, with plenty of vegan options for m'lady. Thanks. You cooked with fire. Okay, now you make me sound like a caveman, which I strangely like. But yes, I cooked with fire, and yes, the place is still standing. Feel free to put that in your brain and gossip group chat. What?
00:58:57Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Come on. Eat. Eat before it gets cold.
00:59:06Come on.
00:59:09Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open space.
00:59:14Where's Todd?
00:59:18Are you still out of Selma, Rach?
00:59:19We're in upstate New York, not the North Pole.
00:59:23That'll be room service.
00:59:26Dad!
00:59:27Hi.
00:59:29Sam says I'm a grandpa again.
00:59:31Yes, you are.
00:59:33Oh, my goodness.
00:59:38Well done.
00:59:40Do better.
00:59:45Hey.
00:59:46I'm going to take more for a walk and then get ready for tonight.
00:59:50And there's this.
00:59:52This?
00:59:53It's an early Christmas present.
00:59:54Really?
01:00:02Worth it to see that expression right there.
01:00:04Uh, there's more.
01:00:11I figured you'd want something for tonight.
01:00:14And I thought that color would look really good on you.
01:00:22It's perfect.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:27Well, see you later.
01:00:43There you are.
01:00:46I wanted to get it done before Santa shows up.
01:00:51Baby sister.
01:00:52Since we don't know her name.
01:00:55I'll make another one for her next year.
01:01:00Mm-hmm.
01:01:01What?
01:01:05You need one, too.
01:01:12I'll hang them up when we get back from the play tonight.

01:09:12Oh, I'm impressed. You got a dig in in the first five minutes. Well done.
01:09:16You know I'm skilled like that.

01:09:32You know I'm cool with it. What made you change your mind?
01:09:41A lot of things.
01:09:44Jason.
01:09:47I can't thank you enough.
01:09:50You're the best contractor in the world.
01:09:52And a great friend.
01:09:54Glad to help.
01:09:56And it was a real education.
01:09:57I hope it didn't scare you off of having kids.
01:09:59Just the opposite.
01:10:00Well, you're gonna be a great dad.
01:10:02I second that.
01:10:04I hope so.
01:10:06All right.
01:10:07Well, I'm gonna go get her settled.
01:10:09And...
01:10:10I will see you later.
01:10:12And I will talk to you soon.
01:10:15Okay, bye.
01:10:16I had a lot of fun.
01:10:23So did I.
01:10:25It was nothing like how I thought it would go.
01:10:28It's a really good thing you had an uncle consultant.
01:10:31Right?
01:10:32Right.
01:10:33Um, I almost forgot to give you this.
01:10:37There you go.
01:10:44Oh.
01:10:45It should cover the retainer fee and then some.
01:10:48Well, this is way too generous.
01:10:50Well, I couldn't have done it without you.
01:10:52I bet you could have.
01:10:54Eventually.
01:10:57Hey, Sam.
01:10:58Could you, uh, show Frank to the guest bedroom?
01:11:01I'm gonna go help settle the baby with Kathleen.
01:11:04Yeah, sure.
01:11:05Okay.
01:11:06Thanks.
01:11:09So I think I'm gonna take off.
01:11:11It was nice getting to know you, Sam Dalton.
01:11:14That sounds strangely final.
01:11:16No.
01:11:17No.
01:11:18No.
01:11:19The deal is done and the check is paid.
01:11:21As agreed, so.
01:11:25Merry Christmas.
01:11:28These cookies are great.
01:11:30You didn't make them, did you?
01:11:32No.
01:11:33They were a gift.
01:11:34Oh.
01:11:35Well, they're fantastic.
01:11:47Good morning.

01:13:09Because Uncle Sam is spending all Christmas with us.

01:13:13Amazing.
01:13:25You know what? Right there. Stop.

01:14:26I'm gonna go.
01:14:32I'm gonna go.
01:14:51Oh.
01:14:52You told me about Jason.
01:14:58I like him, sis.
01:15:01Like, I really like him.
01:15:04Yeah.
01:15:05I kind of sensed that.
01:15:08But something went wrong.
01:15:11I don't know what.
01:15:13He gave me back the check that I gave him last night.
01:15:16Why did you give him a check?
01:15:19It was part of our agreement for him helping me.
01:15:24I know that he needed it for his adoption lawyer.
01:15:27That's why I gave him more.
01:15:28So that way he'd have plenty to cover it.
01:15:33And he's gone so far and beyond helping me.
01:15:39And you really like him and wanted to help him in return.
01:15:44Did I do something wrong?
01:15:46I don't think so.
01:15:48Maybe he originally agreed to be paid to help you and then things changed.
01:15:56And it didn't feel right taking the money anymore.
01:15:59What?
01:16:01I'm scared.
01:16:02I don't know if I can be what Jason needs.
01:16:16And his needs are very clear.
01:16:18You don't think you could ever be open to having a family?
01:16:21It's really hard to explain.
01:16:24See, you've known your whole life that marriage and kids were at least an option.
01:16:34That hasn't been my experience.
01:16:38Most of the time I'm told no.
01:16:40Well, not my mom and dad.
01:16:42No, I'm really lucky there.
01:16:44But legally and perception-wise, you know, I faced a whole lot of, uh-uh, not you.
01:16:53And, yeah, it's different to a degree.
01:16:59But my internal voice is still catching up.
01:17:03I think that's why I run.
01:17:06I never make it to a second date.
01:17:11It's hard to flip the switch to yes.
01:17:16Do you think you want to?
01:17:19With Jason?
01:17:21All I know is for the first time in my whole life, I'm thinking maybe.
01:17:39Another year over
01:17:41It's another one gone
01:17:46It's time to reflect upon
01:17:51All said and done
01:17:55I'll be missing you, darling
01:18:00This Christmas day
01:18:04I wish I were close to you
01:18:09But I'm miles away
01:18:14For me Christmas is nothing
01:18:19Without you to hold
01:18:24Wow, this looks amazing.
01:18:26Are you sure you didn't call a caterer?
01:18:28Are you sure you didn't call a caterer?
01:18:30So are you gonna invite Jason?
01:18:34Would you look what my fancy football league sent over
01:18:39To celebrate baby Angie's first Christmas
01:18:44We'll, uh, we'll raise a toast later
01:18:51Why are you staring at the champagne?
01:18:54I'm gonna tell Jason how I feel
01:18:56Amazing! I'm so proud of you
01:19:01So why are you staring at the champagne?
01:19:03I told my friend Ellie that big deals should be celebrated
01:19:08And this is a really big deal
01:19:14You're still in your Christmas pajamas?
01:19:16I like Sam
01:19:25But I need someone who puts his family first
01:19:28Not flies to Hawaii on Christmas
01:19:30Excuse me, but from what you told me
01:19:31Didn't he drop everything to take care of his niece and nephew?
01:19:34I mean, that's pretty much the definition of putting family first, isn't it?
01:19:37For a couple of days
01:19:39I need someone for the long haul, Pete
01:19:42Buddy, there's no guarantees in life
01:19:44How'd you leave it?
01:19:46Well, he paid me for our time together
01:19:47And that tells me what he thinks
01:19:49So he followed through on paying you what you agreed to?
01:19:52Felt transactional
01:19:53Because it was a transaction, not a declaration
01:19:55Look, here's what I know, okay?
01:19:57Sam is the first guy in a long time to make you look really happy
01:20:02I suppose I can call him after Christmas
01:20:05Yeah, yeah
01:20:06Yeah
01:20:07I mean, unless you meet somebody while he's away, alone in paradise
01:20:11I didn't think about that
01:20:13Should I call him now?
01:20:14Train station's ten minutes away, go in person
01:20:16It's Chase
01:20:18Take care of that
01:20:24Go get him!
01:20:27I don't know what I'm doing
01:20:28You're risking your heart
01:20:30Is it always this terrifying?
01:20:31Yep
01:20:32I hate to tell you, but it is
01:20:34I love you
01:20:35I love you
01:20:36I love you too
01:20:40Now, go get your guy
01:20:43Go!
01:20:44Wait
01:20:45Wait
01:20:46You know it's driving me crazy
01:20:50Just being away from you
01:20:53Ooh
01:20:55Hey
01:20:57He's at his house
01:21:01Get him
01:21:02Get him
01:21:03Yeah, I knew we've been here before
01:21:06You've been all alone
01:21:08When the first year
01:21:10Guys, he's going to his house
01:21:12This time I'm telling you
01:21:13Baby we are
01:21:14Baby we are
01:21:15Baby we are
01:21:16Baby we are
01:21:17Baby we are
01:21:18Baby we are
01:21:19Baby we are
01:21:23Whoa
01:21:24Sam?
01:21:25Hey
01:21:26I'm sorry I gave you that check
01:21:27No, I was being too sensitive
01:21:28No
01:21:29We had an agreement
01:21:30But
01:21:31Things changed
01:21:32Shit, I don't care about the agreement
01:21:34You're what's important to me
01:21:35And that's
01:21:36What I was coming to tell you
01:21:37Before you left for Hawaii
01:21:38I'm not going to Hawaii
01:21:40Wonderful state
01:21:41Can't wait to visit
01:21:42But
01:21:43What I want is here
01:21:46Or what's important to me too
01:21:48I should have said this to you last night
01:21:50But
01:21:51Seeing you leave it
01:21:52It threw me off
01:21:54Pretending to have
01:21:55A husband
01:21:56And
01:21:57Kids
01:21:58And a dog
01:21:59And even
01:22:00A minivan
01:22:01It's not something
01:22:02I ever saw for myself
01:22:04Or even thought that I could have
01:22:08And
01:22:09I know we were in kind of our own little bubble
01:22:12But
01:22:14I really like that bubble
01:22:18A lot
01:22:19Yeah
01:22:20Me too
01:22:21It felt
01:22:22Right
01:22:23You felt
01:22:24Right
01:22:25You feel right
01:22:26More than any other guy I've ever met in my whole life
01:22:29And I can't make forever a guarantee
01:22:31I know that
01:22:32But I think that there might be a way
01:22:33Wait
01:22:34No
01:22:35No
01:22:36No
01:22:37No
01:22:38No
01:22:39No
01:22:40No
01:22:41No
01:22:42No
01:22:43No
01:22:44No
01:22:45No
01:22:46No
01:22:47No
01:22:48Do you want to have brunch with my family for Christmas?
01:22:50Yes I do
01:22:51And then do you want to have Christmas dinner with mine?
01:22:52Sounds perfect
01:22:53Merry Christmas
01:22:54Merry Christmas
01:22:55Merry Christmas
01:22:56Merry Christmas
01:22:58Merry Christmas
01:22:59Merry Christmas
01:23:00Merry Christmas

01:23:04Thank you
