00:00When do I have signed the papers?

00:02Oh gosh.

00:04I hope I'm not the reason you guys are fighting.

00:06I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble.

00:09Oh, hey.

00:11The doctor said you really can't move your wrist.

00:13Let's get you back into bed.

00:15Neil, anything that happened between us, it's nothing.

00:18We used to shower all the time as kids, okay?

00:20It's nothing sexual.

00:21Cool.

00:23Great.

00:23I will say, your wife has a banging bod, and her ass fits perfectly in my hand.

00:36What the hell is wrong with you? Was injuring his hand not enough?

00:40Hey.

00:44This is it, Kira.

00:51It's time to live for myself.

00:53Welcome back.

01:02Ah, here he is.

01:04Man of the hour.

01:06Tim, this is our fearless and brilliant leader, Dr. Neil Waite.

01:10He's the lead astronaut in our Tecton 7 mission to Mars.

01:13He's going to be joining us as we begin training.

01:16He's also going to be overseeing preparation procedures right before liftoff.

01:21Can't wait, sir.

01:24All right, let's go.

01:24Well done, Neil.

01:39Your fitness level and technical knowledge already rivaled the best astronauts in the country.

01:45You passed your training with flying colors, so it's set in stone then.

01:50You will be flying to Mars in a week.

01:54Sounds good to me, sir.

01:54Oh, since it's Christmas in a few days, we thought we'd let you spend the next few days on Earth with your families.

02:03So, uh, here you go.

02:07Happy holidays.

02:09Happy holidays, James.

02:12Huh.

02:13Thirty-four missed calls from Kira.

02:25What does she want?

02:29Neil?

02:30Why the fuck have you been you picked up?

02:32Kira's losing her mind trying to find you.

02:34I mean, like, literally losing her mind.

02:39Kira's looking for me?

02:40Oh, my God.

02:47Neil, you're finally home.

02:49What's the matter, Kira?

02:50You have no idea what I have been through.

02:52I have had three maids come in, and they're completely useless.

02:55I don't even get me started on the chefs, Neil.

02:57They don't understand my dietary restrictions.

02:59Everything they make is just disgusting and an edible,

03:02and I've had to fire like ten of them since you left.

03:04Oh, so that's all it was.

03:07She just couldn't find good help to replace me with.

03:12Where have you been the last few days?

03:14I've been at work, Kira.

03:16Okay.

03:17Look, you really need to quit your job as this research assistant.

03:20They pay you like nothing, and if you quit, you could spend more time with me.

03:24Nothing's changed, Kira.

03:25Kira, it's still all about what you want.

03:28And if you're asking me to give up my dream, a chance to explore another planet,

03:32all just to keep being your personal servant,

03:34well, I won't make the same mistake again.

03:40Look, Neil, I'm really hungry.

03:42Can you please just go make some dinner?

03:44We're divorced, Kira.

03:45I'm not going to cook you dinner.

03:46Okay, stop saying that.

03:47I know you're just saying that to scare me.

03:50Look, I know what this is about.

03:53You're mad about Simon, you're rattling off some stuff about divorce,

03:57and now you don't even want to cook for me?

03:59Look, what happened with Simon was just a one-time thing, Neil.

04:03I only put his towel on for him because he's my friend.

04:06It was a platonic favor for a friend.

04:08You and Simon can do whatever you want.

04:10I don't care anymore.

04:12Neil, he doesn't even live here anymore.

04:13Can you just get over it?

04:16You know what?

04:17What's this?

04:21A gift.

04:22I know you're mad about Simon,

04:23so I got you this to hopefully patch things up.

04:26Merry Christmas, my love.

04:33A yacht?

04:34Yeah.

04:35Yeah, you've always said you want to sail around the world,

04:37and I thought we could take it to Hawaii next summer.

04:43Kira, I can't accept this.

04:45Why?

04:47Look, all I'm saying is I think you should move back in with Kira.

04:51I mean, think about how lonely she'll be at Christmas if you aren't there to celebrate with her.

04:55Oh my God!

04:56Simon, weren't you just talking about how much you love those wave speeder yachts?

05:01Looks like Kira got you one for Christmas.

05:02Kira, you really went all out this year.

05:04You got me a yacht.

05:06Kira loves to splurge on gifts for you.

05:08Beth, are we sure it's not for Neil?

05:10What?

05:11Are you kidding?

05:12They've been together for like five years,

05:14and she's never even bothered to fill his stocking,

05:16let alone get him a Christmas gift.

05:18Right, Kira?

05:19A Christmas gift for me, but five years too late.

05:24I don't want your gifts anymore.

05:26Yeah, Beth, I think that Kira got this for Simon, so...

05:30Simon, there you are.

05:33Kira, this is already the best Christmas ever.

05:40You're a good guy, Neil.

05:43Neil.

05:44Kira, I already know what we'll name it.

05:46Violet Horizons.

05:48Remember the restaurant we went to on our first date?

05:51Kira, after Christmas,

05:54I'll be out of your world for good.

06:01Hey.

06:03Uh, tonight's my family's annual Christmas party.

06:06I got this suit tailored just for you.

06:09It's a, uh, Thor and Bentley party.

06:12It's your family.

06:13Not mine.

06:14What are you talking about?

06:16You're my husband.

06:17Plus, you know, my dad put you on the list himself,

06:20so it'd be rude to be a no-show.

06:22I should give David a proper goodbye.

06:25It's Christmas after all.

06:33My, my, Simon.

06:40Those waist-beater yachts are worth 200 million.

06:43Kira must really love you.

06:46Yeah, that's a given.

06:47Kira loves Simon more than any woman has ever loved a man.

06:50All right, come on, Beth.

06:51Let's not joke about that anymore.

06:53Kira's still married to Neil.

06:58Don't worry about them, bud.

06:59We were just talking about how sometimes marriage and love don't always go hand in hand.

07:03Oh, you guys talk about whatever you want.

07:05Pretend I'm not here.

07:06Speaking of which, Simon, you're the one Kira loves.

07:14Not me.

07:15You should be with her.

07:16Look at yourself, Neil.

07:18Fulking like a child, hoping that Kira feels sorry for you.

07:22A real man would try to measure up to Simon, okay?

07:25He wouldn't be throwing himself a little pity party trying to manipulate his wife into staying.

07:29Oh, I'm not manipulating her.

07:32Kira and I are separated.

07:33Yeah, as if you'd ever have the balls to leave Kira.

07:36You should feel grateful that she ever said yes to a dirt-poor orphaned loser like you.

07:42Especially when Simon has you beat in every category.

07:46Family background, net worth, good looks, you name it.

07:51Beth just put a lid on it.

07:53It's Christmas.

07:54Can you just try to be civil?

07:56Beth is just speaking facts, Kira.

07:59I mean, we all saw you and Simon during college.

08:03You guys were so cute together.

08:06I was with Kira on the day you broke up with her.

08:09She was absolutely crushed.

08:11I don't think I've ever seen someone cry so hard in my life.

08:16Well, college was a lifetime ago.

08:18What happened then doesn't even matter now.

08:20Kira, I'm trying to help you out here.

08:24I mean, sure, Simon was gone for a while, but he's back now.

08:29You don't have to hide how you feel anymore.

08:31Exactly.

08:33Kira, we all know how long you've been waiting for this.

08:35Do you remember how devastated you were when you found out that Simon had a new girlfriend?

08:40Simon, she has made it crystal clear that she wants you.

08:45Now that you're back, it's time to make a move.

08:48Ask her out on a date.

08:52Let's have a drink.

08:53All right.

08:55Cheers.

09:04Look, Neil, that was just Beth and Alice trying to get a rise out of me.

09:08Please, please don't be mad.

09:12Not mad, Kira.

09:14Kira, every time they humiliated me in the past, they never once came to my defense.

09:19Was it because deep down you agreed with them?

09:22Look, Kira, be honest.

09:24You've never taken me seriously as a husband.

09:27You've never seen me as an equal.

09:29But Neil.

09:33No, Neil, listen, I...

09:35Merry Christmas, old friend.

09:40Oh, thank you, Neil.

09:41Yeah.

09:42So you're really planning to end things with Kira then?

09:48Yeah.

09:48I think it's time to start focusing on the future.

09:52This is the best for both of us.

09:53You know, I don't blame you.

09:55She's a handful to put up with.

09:57Oh.

09:58Put me through college.

10:00It's a fair trade if you ask me.

10:07Don't be ridiculous, Neil.

10:09All I did was pay your tuition.

10:11You sacrificed five years of your life.

10:15Not only that, you went above and beyond the terms of the contract.

10:18You loved Kira with all of your heart.

10:21I hoped that with time, she would see your devotion.

10:25And regardless, Neil, you're my son.

10:30Forever.

10:31No.

10:32No.

10:33Come on.

10:34You know, Simon got one thing right.

10:35Sometimes love and marriage don't always go hand in hand.

10:38I did love Kira.

10:39I cared for her.

10:40But she didn't feel the same way.
