00:00:30Sorry, excuse me.
00:01:00Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:01:29Oh, I don't have any. I'm here to see Amanda Clark.
00:01:33Oh, well-checked at the concierge. I hope you've made an appointment. She's a very busy lady this time of year.
00:01:39Actually, I'm going to be working here.
00:01:40Oh, really?
00:01:41Yeah. I'm doing research for the plaza about...
00:01:44Oh, Christmas!
00:01:45Oh, you've heard?
00:01:46Yes, yes. We've been talking about it for weeks. We're all very excited about that.
00:01:50Oh, good.
00:01:52So, now, why don't you hold on to that? There may be more hot cocoa ahead.
00:01:56Thank you. I'm Jessica Cooper.
00:01:58I'm Reginald Brookwater, head bellman at your service.
00:02:03So, you're here to study our grand lady.
00:02:06The plaza provided a grant to the university, and I'm the archival historian in charge of the project.
00:02:11You have a very impressive title.
00:02:13I'm not as important as it sounds.
00:02:16I wouldn't be so sure of that. You know what we say around here.
00:02:19What do you say around here?
00:02:20Nothing unimportant ever happens at the plaza.
00:02:31Hi, Dennis.
00:02:32Hi.
00:02:33It's all set. We fly out at JFK on Christmas Eve.
00:02:36This is so exciting. I can't wait to meet your parents. I just hope they're not disappointed.
00:02:40Why would they be disappointed?
00:02:42Because their son is dating somebody who's using her Ph.D. to study Christmas trees.
00:02:46How did your mom take the news that you won't be home for Christmas this year?
00:02:48It's surprisingly well she's going to go on that Caribbean cruise she always wanted to.
00:02:54Dennis, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:02:57Who leads a ladder just standing around?
00:03:00I do.
00:03:01Oh. Oh, no. Um, hang on.
00:03:05Good idea.
00:03:09I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were up there.
00:03:11Must have been an important phone call.
00:03:13Oh.
00:03:18I was talking to my boyfriend.
00:03:20Oh.
00:03:21Well, with boyfriends you get an automatic free pass.
00:03:24Just maybe watch where you're going next time, huh?
00:03:26Or maybe put up a sign next time.
00:03:29Like that one?
00:03:30Hey, Merry Christmas.
00:03:43One suit, sponged and pressed for Mr. George Kaplan.
00:03:47Room 796.
00:03:48Anything else?
00:03:50Of course, Mr. Kaplan.
00:03:51My pleasure.
00:03:54Good morning.
00:03:54How may I help you?
00:03:55Theater tickets?
00:03:56No, thank you.
00:03:57Dinner reservations?
00:03:58No, I...
00:03:59You need car service.
00:04:00Actually, I'm looking for...
00:04:01Here you are.
00:04:02And right on time, too.
00:04:04I like punctuality.
00:04:05It shows character.
00:04:06Good morning, Ms. Clark.
00:04:08Amanda.
00:04:08Amanda, thank you.
00:04:10And I see you've met Kenny, our head concierge.
00:04:13Hi.
00:04:13Hi.
00:04:14Anything you need.
00:04:16He's here to help.
00:04:17Isn't that right, Kenny?
00:04:18That's right, Amanda.
00:04:22Ms. Clark.
00:04:25This way.
00:04:28This is where I think we should place the installation.
00:04:39I must tell you, we are all very eager to see what you have in mind.
00:04:46Christmas traditions are very important to us here.
00:04:50And what better place to honor the legacy of Christmas at the Plaza than our historic Oak Room?
00:05:03About that, I was hoping you could give me some idea of what you're really looking for.
00:05:07I was thinking, a sort of museum, art gallery combination.
00:05:14You know, panels and pedestals.
00:05:18And of course, there will be an opening night party with champagne.
00:05:21That's not quite what I mean.
00:05:23When I'm developing an archival history presentation, I like to have some kind of point of view.
00:05:29You know, like a through line or a...
00:05:31A Christmas story.
00:05:32Well, not exactly a...
00:05:34That sounds perfect.
00:05:36What does?
00:05:36We need a Christmas story.
00:05:38And since you're the expert, I'm going to let you come up with one.
00:05:43I'm not really a story person.
00:05:46I deal in facts.
00:05:48Facts.
00:05:49Yes.
00:05:50You see, the thing about history is you don't have to make anything up.
00:05:54The story's already happened.
00:05:56That just makes it easier, then.
00:05:58Our records room is this way.
00:06:11All you have to do is go through the hotel files.
00:06:14There are plenty of references to Christmas parties and tree lighting, carol singing, special holiday events.
00:06:24It shouldn't be very difficult.
00:06:28Wow.
00:06:37Yes.
00:06:38Isn't it something?
00:06:39Most of these are pre-internet, so they haven't been scanned or digitally preserved.
00:06:45These are the original files.
00:06:47How far back does all of this date?
00:06:49I don't really know.
00:06:50But I don't think anything would have been thrown out, so it could be over a hundred years' worth.
00:06:57Well, I'll leave you to it.
00:06:59Which ones are the Christmas files?
00:07:00I have no idea.
00:07:04You mean they're not categorized?
00:07:07Well, no.
00:07:08That's why you're here.
00:07:10Miss Clark.
00:07:11Amanda.
00:07:13Amanda.
00:07:14Going through all these records could take a year, at least.
00:07:17Well, you certainly don't have a year.
00:07:21Opening night of the display is planned for December 15th.
00:07:24Uh, but that's only three weeks away.
00:07:27Oh, I know.
00:07:29But, fortunately, you won't have to do it all alone.
00:07:33You'll be coordinating with our Christmas decorator.
00:07:35Christmas decorator?
00:07:36There he is now.
00:07:38Mr. Pirelli, I'd like you to meet someone.
00:07:40This is Jessica Cooper.
00:07:42She's in charge of the history of Christmas at the Plaza display.
00:07:46Jessica Cooper.
00:07:47Nick Pirelli.
00:07:49Surprise.
00:07:51Surprise.
00:07:52You two know each other?
00:07:53We've met.
00:07:56Well, that's good.
00:07:57Because you'll be working together this Christmas.
00:08:08What are you supposed to be looking for?
00:08:10Christmas.
00:08:13What kind of Christmas?
00:08:15Uh, like celebrations, events, photographs.
00:08:19Anything that connects the plaza to the holiday season.
00:08:21What is that?
00:08:22To create an historic installation celebrating the legacy of Christmas at the plaza.
00:08:28Oh, like a museum.
00:08:29Yeah, like a museum.
00:08:32You do that for a living?
00:08:34Yeah, I have degrees in anthropology, urban archaeology, and social genealogical studies.
00:08:38You know what they say about people who hang on to the past.
00:08:52They're afraid of the future.
00:08:53I don't think that's true.
00:08:56Can you not touch anything, please?
00:09:04Sorry.
00:09:06In historic terms, we call this an artifact.
00:09:09In New York terms, we call this a newspaper.
00:09:10Don't you have trees to put up?
00:09:16Well, I thought we were supposed to be working together.
00:09:18We are.
00:09:19And if I need you, I'll call.
00:09:20Okay.
00:09:23Enjoy your artifacts.
00:09:24Do you think I was rude to him?
00:09:43No.
00:09:44He sounds pushy, overbearing, and full of himself.
00:09:47Is he single?
00:09:48I don't know.
00:09:49Why?
00:09:50Ask him if he likes almost famous musical theater actors.
00:09:54I'm in the market for my next ex-boyfriend.
00:09:57Speaking of bad relationships, how's Dennis?
00:10:01Cass, don't start.
00:10:03Let's try here.
00:10:05You know I'm right.
00:10:07You've been dating for how long?
00:10:09Two years next week.
00:10:11Exactly.
00:10:12And that finger is still bare.
00:10:14And I'm okay with that.
00:10:15Of course you are, because you're afraid of commitment.
00:10:17You know, just because you took one psychology course in school doesn't mean...
00:10:21Let's try over there.
00:10:24I've watched it happen.
00:10:25Every time a guy gets serious, you bail.
00:10:27That's why your relationship with Dennis has lasted this long.
00:10:30You're afraid of commitment, and he's afraid to commit.
00:10:32You know, face it, Jess.
00:10:34You're stuck in a dead-ed relationship.
00:10:35For your information, Dennis has made a commitment.
00:10:38He's taking me to meet his parents.
00:10:40In Florida.
00:10:41Really?
00:10:42Mm-hmm.
00:10:42We fly out on Christmas Eve.
00:10:44Ah!
00:10:44Mm-hmm.
00:10:46Uh, back there.
00:10:47Yeah.
00:10:47Whose idea was that?
00:10:49What do you mean?
00:10:50Well, to meet the parents.
00:10:52I don't know.
00:10:53Well, who bought the tickets?
00:10:54Was it Dennis or the parents?
00:10:55What difference does it make?
00:10:57Maybe none.
00:10:58But if Dennis bought the tickets, it means that he's serious about a relationship.
00:11:02If his parents bought the tickets...
00:11:05Oh, gotta go.
00:11:08I am filling in as one of Santa's elves in the park.
00:11:11And it takes me 20 minutes to get into those tights.
00:11:14Thank you.
00:11:15Oh, you're welcome.
00:11:16See you soon.
00:11:17Sorry.
00:11:36Sorry.
00:11:36I had to get the funding application in for next year.
00:11:39The university committee is being impossible as usual.
00:11:43Is that hot cider?
00:11:44It was, 20 minutes ago.
00:11:46Don't forget, we have the faculty Christmas party a week Thursday.
00:11:50Franklin Collins is going to be there.
00:11:51He's the committee chair, and I'm hoping to get a word with him.
00:11:55Who knew clinical biology could be so exciting?
00:11:57Who knew?
00:11:58How's your project going?
00:11:59I'm not sure yet.
00:12:01There was just so much material in the archives, I don't even know where to begin.
00:12:04And if by some miracle I did know where to begin, there's no way I'm going to finish by the deadline.
00:12:10I think taking this project might have been a big mistake.
00:12:14What do you have to do to get a drink around here?
00:12:19Dennis?
00:12:21Yeah?
00:12:22How about the trip?
00:12:24To see your parents?
00:12:26Yeah?
00:12:26Yeah?
00:12:30Nothing.
00:12:31Never mind.
00:12:32I don't know.
00:12:43I don't know.
00:12:50I don't know.
00:12:55I don't know.
00:14:29I don't think this is my project
00:14:31I beg your pardon?
00:14:33Yeah, I don't think this is going to work out after all
00:14:36I need to go talk to Amanda
00:14:37You're not thinking of quitting, are you?
00:14:40It's probably for the best
00:14:41Well, I hope you'll reconsider
00:14:44Opportunities like this don't come along every day
00:14:47Nobody regrets the ones they take, just the ones they don't
00:14:51Anyway, I'm sure you'll make the right choice
00:14:56Looks beautiful
00:15:11Thanks
00:15:13Plaza has so much great history, I figure it deserves the best, huh?
00:15:18So you're not the only one who respects the past
00:15:20Look, Nick, I'm sorry
00:15:24About what I said yesterday, I know you were just trying to help
00:15:28Don't worry about it
00:15:31So you're done for the day?
00:15:35Actually, I've decided to step away from the project
00:15:37Seriously?
00:15:41I'm going to talk to the university about finding a replacement
00:15:43That's too bad
00:15:45I mean, I know Amanda will be really disappointed
00:15:49I know, and I feel awful about it
00:15:51But like you said, the plaza deserves the best
00:15:55And I just, I don't think I'm the right person for this project
00:15:59I'm sorry to hear that
00:16:01It was nice to meet you, Jessica Cooper
00:16:04And you too, Nick Pirelli
00:16:07Oh, hey
00:16:11How about a souvenir?
00:16:15Think of it as an early Christmas present
00:16:16Merry Christmas
00:16:22Thank you
00:16:25Merry Christmas
00:16:37I'm sorry
00:16:49Miss Clark's in the middle of a very important call
00:16:52Is there anything I can help you with?
00:16:54No, thank you
00:16:55I need to speak with her myself
00:16:57I'll wait
00:16:58Beautiful, isn't it?
00:17:05I think this year's tree topper is my favorite
00:17:07I mean, Phinelle d'Abre
00:17:10Miss Clark prefers we use a proper name
00:17:12I was supposed to bring it downstairs to the decorating team
00:17:14But I kind of like keeping it myself
00:17:16It is beautiful
00:17:18You said this year's?
00:17:22Reginald showed me a photograph with a different tree topper
00:17:25How many have there been?
00:17:26I guess as many as there have been Christmas trees at the plaza
00:17:29And they've had a Christmas tree here at the hotel
00:17:32Ever since it opened in 1907
00:17:34It's a tradition
00:17:36I'll tell Miss Clark you're here
00:17:38Uh, no, that's okay
00:17:40Don't bother her
00:17:41All right, well
00:17:43Do you want me to give her a message for you?
00:17:45Yes, please
00:17:46Tell her
00:17:47Tell her I found our Christmas story
00:17:51So that's a dozen cherry tomatoes
00:17:57Three almonds
00:17:58One bottle of champagne
00:17:59Pink, of course, Miss Thompson
00:18:01Will there be anything else?
00:18:03My pleasure
00:18:03Good morning, Miss Cooper
00:18:05How can I help you today?
00:18:06Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
00:18:07It doesn't show signs of stopping
00:18:11And I brought some corn for popping
00:18:14The lights are turned way down low
00:18:17Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
00:18:20When we finally kiss goodnight
00:18:23Now I'll hate going out in the storm
00:18:26But if you really hold me tight
00:18:29All the way home I'll be warm
00:18:32The fire is slowly dying
00:18:35And my dear, we're still good-bye
00:18:38But as long as you love me so
00:18:41Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
00:18:44Please don't worry about this flurry
00:18:54We're warming our bungalow
00:18:56Just listen for Santa going ho, ho, ho
00:19:00Let it snow, let it snow
00:19:02Let it snow
00:19:05And put one more in that corner over there
00:19:12Needs a little Christmas
00:19:13Who's Nick?
00:19:20Nick, it's me
00:19:21Alicia?
00:19:23Hi, how are you?
00:19:25Uh, fine
00:19:26Been a while
00:19:27I know, too long
00:19:29Something I could do for you?
00:19:31I heard you were decorating the plaza
00:19:34It's amazing, congratulations
00:19:35Thanks
00:19:36I would love to come and see it
00:19:39Maybe we could grab a drink after
00:19:40Hey, listen, I'm really busy right now
00:19:45I gotta go
00:19:45Oh, alright
00:19:47Well, Merry Christmas
00:19:49Yeah
00:19:50Yeah, Merry Christmas
00:19:51Baby, you're coming, everyone
00:19:53I'm very sorry
00:19:54She's way too long
00:19:56I have to pick up device
00:19:58This might be nice
00:20:00I have to pick up our partners
00:20:01Come and listen I can bring it down
00:20:01бум��을ется
00:20:02But I also have to three
00:20:03Of course
00:20:04You can have to calm down
00:20:05I can turn out
00:20:05Then let it snow
00:20:07I can turn out
00:20:07You can't停
00:20:08It's a divine
00:20:08hurry
00:20:08I can turn out
00:20:09You can turn out
00:20:10To do that
00:20:10What I will forget
00:20:11You can turn out
00:20:12You can turn out
00:20:13But I
00:20:13can turn out
00:20:14You can see it
00:20:51Yeah, that's... good. What changed your mind?
00:20:56Well, did you know the plaza has had a different finialed opera every Christmas for over a hundred years?
00:21:01Uh, what?
00:21:02Oh, Tree Topper.
00:21:03Ah, I did not know that.
00:21:05Yeah, each one is handmade and unique to that specific year.
00:21:08I did not know that either.
00:21:09This one, for example, is from 1949. See here? Signed by the artist, making it a priceless piece of socio-historic memorabilia.
00:21:17Who knows how many more of them are hidden away inside these boxes?
00:21:20Yeah, who knows?
00:21:23Nick, this is a major find. Each of these Tree Toppers represents an artist with an individual story.
00:21:30The cultural importance of the passage of time represented by the artisanal craftsmanship in this room is simply staggering.
00:21:36They make really nice Christmas ornaments, too.
00:21:39Are you just going to stand there or are you going to help?
00:21:41What would you like me to do?
00:21:47Grab a box...
00:21:49And look for Christmas.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:54So, why history?
00:22:04What do you mean?
00:22:05Well, you obviously love it, but where's the attraction?
00:22:08I think it's important to understand the way politics and social moors have impacted events throughout time.
00:22:13Come on, that sounds like a classroom lecture.
00:22:16What's the real reason?
00:22:19The real reason?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:25Please.
00:22:31My dad was in the diplomatic corps, so we moved around a lot when I was young.
00:22:35There was always a different town, a different school.
00:22:38I never knew where we were going to be or what was going to happen.
00:22:43It was pretty tough on a little kid.
00:22:44I started studying history.
00:22:47Felt safe.
00:22:49Because you always knew exactly what was going to happen next?
00:22:52When you can't depend on the future, there's something kind of comforting about the past.
00:22:58You still feel that way?
00:23:02Sometimes.
00:23:04Oh, I took the liberty of bringing you some fresh coffee.
00:23:08You've been down here for hours.
00:23:09Thank you, Reginald.
00:23:14I guess we lost track of time.
00:23:16Well, the grand lady reveals her secrets slowly, doesn't she?
00:23:21By the way, I'm glad you changed your mind.
00:23:25And I believe the work you're doing here is very important.
00:23:29I mean, this place means a lot to me.
00:23:32To all of us.
00:23:33Thank you, Reginald.
00:23:35Hey, look at this.
00:23:37What is it?
00:23:37I found one.
00:23:41It's beautiful.
00:23:43Ooh, that is magnificent, isn't it?
00:23:46Look at the fine work around the edges there.
00:23:49It takes years to learn that.
00:23:50That makes five we found so far.
00:23:52Only 10,000 more boxes to go through.
00:23:55Well, good thing there are two of you.
00:24:06Good thing.
00:24:07Yeah, so I don't know.
00:24:34So what?
00:24:35It's New York.
00:24:37You look great.
00:24:38Right?
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:40It's like stepping into a time machine in there.
00:24:42Every box I open is another piece of history.
00:24:44And Nick found some incredible photographs from 1922.
00:24:48Nick?
00:24:49Pushy, overbearing Nick.
00:24:51Oh, it wasn't really his fault.
00:24:52I overreacted.
00:24:53He's actually a very nice guy.
00:24:55Really?
00:24:56And you two are working together?
00:24:58Mm-hmm.
00:24:58Mm-hmm.
00:25:00Alone?
00:25:00I know what you're thinking, and you can stop thinking it.
00:25:06There's nothing going on between Nick and me except Christmas.
00:25:10Oh, gotta go.
00:25:12Santa's finished feeding the reindeer, and he hates it when his elves are late.
00:25:15Sorry about lunch.
00:25:16I'll grab a candy cane at work.
00:25:17Uh-oh.
00:25:18Hey, did you ever find out if Nick was single?
00:25:21I don't care.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:23I believe you.
00:25:24Do you believe you?
00:25:25Uh-oh.
00:25:26Uh-oh.
00:25:36Uh-oh.
00:25:38Uh-oh.
00:25:39Uh-oh.
00:25:39Sous-titrage MFP.
00:26:09Sous-titrage MFP.
00:26:39Sous-titrage MFP.
00:27:09A what?
00:27:11A tree topper.
00:27:13Oh, interesting.
00:27:14That's not the interesting part.
00:27:16Look at the picture on the table, the top one.
00:27:20The Christmas tree?
00:27:21See, no tree topper.
00:27:24Fascinating.
00:27:25Isn't it?
00:27:26What happened to the tree topper and why that year?
00:27:28I don't know.
00:27:29Jess, we're going to be late.
00:27:32Okay, I'm ready.
00:27:35Choose.
00:27:41Right.
00:27:42I'll meet you in the car.
00:27:43I'll meet you in the car.
00:27:43I'll meet you in the car.
00:27:45Wow.
00:27:46...
00:28:15...
00:28:17There's Franklin Collins.
00:28:19Come on, let's go say hello.
00:28:20Uh, love to.
00:28:24Evening, Mr. Collins.
00:28:26Oh, Dennis!
00:28:28Well, I'm glad you made it.
00:28:30This is Dennis Park, one of our newest faculty members.
00:28:34I read your paper, Dennis.
00:28:36It was interesting, very interesting.
00:28:39I'd like to talk to you some more about it.
00:28:40That would be great, sir. Thank you.
00:28:45This is my, uh, Jessica Cooper.
00:28:49How do you do?
00:28:50Well, a pleasure to meet you, Jessica.
00:28:52You probably know most of the people here.
00:28:54I'm not...
00:28:55Oh, well, Jessica's an alum.
00:28:56Sociology and anthropology.
00:28:59What are you doing these days, dear?
00:29:01Jessica's working on a very important archival research project.
00:29:06Oh, and what subject?
00:29:07A history of the finial darbers at the plaza.
00:29:11Finial darbers? Uh, isn't that Christmas ornaments?
00:29:15That's right.
00:29:17How interesting.
00:29:19It's actually an important study from a cultural and historic point of view.
00:29:23That's good.
00:29:38Of course it is, dear.
00:29:40So, Dennis, uh, tell me, uh, what are your plans?
00:29:47Uh, well, I have a little bit more work to do on this paper, but, uh...
00:29:50Oh, no, I think this draft that you did...
00:29:52I think this is a draft that you did...
00:29:53I think this is a draft that you did...
00:29:54I think it's a draft.
00:29:55I think it's a draft.
00:29:56It's a draft.
00:29:57Wow.
00:29:58Ah, Jessica.
00:29:59Did you have to bring up that whole Christmas decorations thing?
00:30:16Why?
00:30:17It's just I'm trying to impress Collins, and it doesn't sound very, uh, academic.
00:30:21Well, they asked.
00:30:23Anyway, he wants to see the rest of my research, but he's totally behind my proposal.
00:30:28He actually told me he's gonna personally resubmit it to the committee himself.
00:30:32Can you believe it?
00:30:33That's great.
00:30:34Isn't it?
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:36Wow, I mean...
00:30:38Good party, right?
00:30:40You having fun?
00:30:41Actually, I'm a little tired.
00:30:43It's been a long day, and I'm...
00:30:45Oh, of course.
00:30:46I'm...
00:30:47Sorry.
00:30:48You've been at work all day.
00:30:49I...
00:30:50I...
00:30:51I should've thought of that.
00:30:52You wanna go home?
00:30:53Would that be okay?
00:30:54Absolutely.
00:30:57I'll call you the car.
00:31:02I would go with you, but I really gotta seal this deal with Collins.
00:31:05Oh, of course.
00:31:07You don't mind, do you?
00:31:08Me?
00:31:09No.
00:31:10Not at all.
00:31:11Thanks for understanding.
00:31:12How was your night?
00:31:13I've had better.
00:31:27Do you like Christmas songs?
00:31:28I could play one for you if you like.
00:31:29Maybe it'll cheer you up.
00:31:30Thanks.
00:31:31Do you want anything special for Christmas?
00:31:32I'm gonna go meet my boyfriend's parents.
00:31:33Oh, sounds serious.
00:31:34I'm not sure about that.
00:31:35Where is he right now?
00:31:36Back at that party.
00:31:37Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:31:38You know what?
00:31:39Maybe I'm overreacting.
00:31:40I mean, it's not like you made me walk home.
00:31:41I don't know.
00:31:42I don't know.
00:31:43I don't know.
00:31:44Do you like Christmas songs?
00:31:45I could play one for you if you like.
00:31:46Maybe it'll cheer you up.
00:31:47Thanks.
00:31:48Do you want anything special for Christmas?
00:31:49I'm gonna go meet my boyfriend's parents.
00:31:50Oh, sounds serious.
00:31:52I'm not sure about that.
00:31:54Where is he right now?
00:31:55Back at that party.
00:31:59Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:32:03You know what?
00:32:04Maybe I'm overreacting.
00:32:05I mean, it's not like you made me walk home.
00:32:07True.
00:32:08What if Cassidy's right?
00:32:10About what?
00:32:11What if I really am afraid of commitment?
00:32:13I mean, this is my usual pattern.
00:32:14I fall for a guy, he gets serious, I get nervous, I break it off.
00:32:18Cassidy's your boyfriend?
00:32:20No, Dennis is my boyfriend.
00:32:22Who's Cassidy?
00:32:23She's an elf.
00:32:26You know what?
00:32:27I changed my mind.
00:32:28I don't want to go home right now.
00:32:29I don't blame you.
00:32:30So where to now?
00:32:38Happy holidays.
00:32:39I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.
00:33:06Miss Cooper.
00:33:08Good evening.
00:33:09Everything all right?
00:33:10I guess so.
00:33:11You're working late.
00:33:13Oh, well, sometimes I just like to stick around till everybody goes home at night or gets tucked into bed upstairs,
00:33:19and then I just listen for a while.
00:33:23To what?
00:33:24To the sound of the grand lady sleeping.
00:33:31She snores sometimes, you know.
00:33:41What are you doing here?
00:33:43I'm having some trouble with the lights.
00:33:44Huh?
00:33:47Seems okay to me.
00:33:48Yeah, well, it's my first time decorating the plaza.
00:33:51It's kind of a game changer for my business.
00:33:53I don't want okay, I want perfect.
00:33:59Well, I better make my rounds.
00:34:02Good night, folks.
00:34:03Good night.
00:34:04What are you doing here?
00:34:07What are you doing here?
00:34:08I need to find a missing tree topper.
00:34:10The one from 1969.
00:34:12There's still a lot of boxes to go through down there.
00:34:16A little overdressed for the records room?
00:34:19I was at a Christmas party.
00:34:21Must have been a nice party.
00:34:23You look great.
00:34:26Thank you.
00:34:27So how was the food?
00:34:31I always eat too much of those things.
00:34:34I didn't actually get any.
00:34:35You didn't get any?
00:34:36Why not?
00:34:38Bad timing.
00:34:40Huh.
00:34:42Well, if you're still hungry,
00:34:45and all places stays open late,
00:34:47I was gonna go get something to eat.
00:34:49I grabbed some dinner.
00:34:51That's very nice of you, Nick.
00:34:53Really, but the thing is...
00:34:55I know. I know.
00:34:57You have a boyfriend.
00:34:59Still gotta eat.
00:35:02I feel about Italian.
00:35:07Well, it was my dad's business originally.
00:35:09Mostly party rentals,
00:35:10but when I took it over,
00:35:11I focused on Christmas.
00:35:13That's where the real money is.
00:35:15But between you and me,
00:35:17we do it for free.
00:35:18You love it that much?
00:35:20Oh, yeah.
00:35:21A house like a blank canvas to me.
00:35:22And there's that moment
00:35:23when you gather the family out front,
00:35:24and you flip the switch
00:35:25and the whole thing lights up
00:35:26with the look on their faces.
00:35:28That's Christmas.
00:35:30You decorate for your family, too?
00:35:32Mm-hmm.
00:35:33It's a mob scene.
00:35:34I got three brothers and two sisters,
00:35:35and they're all married,
00:35:36and they've all got kids,
00:35:37so pressure's on.
00:35:38What about you?
00:35:39Anybody special?
00:35:42There was a couple years ago,
00:35:43but it didn't work out.
00:35:45It happens.
00:35:47So what's your boyfriend do?
00:35:51Dennis?
00:35:52Mm-hmm.
00:35:53He's in clinical research
00:35:54at the university.
00:35:55Impressive.
00:35:56He's a very intelligent man.
00:35:59You're no slight yourself
00:36:00with all those degrees
00:36:01at the end of your name.
00:36:03I don't know about that.
00:36:06You're kidding me, right?
00:36:08When I first started out at university,
00:36:10I had all these really lofty goals, you know?
00:36:12I wanted to use my education
00:36:14to speak to the human condition,
00:36:16help people understand history
00:36:18and make it relevant in their lives.
00:36:21Maybe make a difference in the world.
00:36:24And?
00:36:26And here I am,
00:36:28cataloging Christmas ornaments.
00:36:32Oh, I'm sorry.
00:36:33That's...
00:36:35I didn't...
00:36:36I didn't mean it to come out like that.
00:36:37I'm sorry.
00:36:38It's fine.
00:36:39It's fine. Don't worry about it.
00:36:41But you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, though.
00:36:43I know.
00:36:44I just always thought
00:36:45I'd be doing something
00:36:46more important with my life.
00:36:48I get that.
00:36:49But think about it this way.
00:36:51The storage room
00:36:52in the basement of the plaza.
00:36:54Imagine how many Christmas memories are there,
00:36:57just tucked away in all those boxes.
00:36:59And you're part of that history now.
00:37:01And you're gonna bring happiness
00:37:02to who knows how many people this Christmas.
00:37:06What's more important than that?
00:37:08What do you mean?
00:37:10What do you mean?
00:37:11You're a good thing.
00:37:12What do you mean?
00:37:13You're just gonna have to go in.
00:37:14And if you're not a little bit,
00:37:15I'll have to go see who else is.
00:37:16Well, you're supposed to go in.
00:37:18I'm sorry, you're supposed to go home.
00:37:19But I do have to go in.
00:37:21I don't know anything about that.
00:37:22This is me.
00:37:24Hey.
00:37:25Nice place.
00:37:26Thanks.
00:37:27Hey, nice place.
00:37:32Thanks.
00:37:33My mom and dad were in real estate, so I got it when they retired.
00:37:37I see a big blank canvas.
00:37:39In case you haven't noticed, I've been a bit busy lately.
00:37:42So I'm sorry I haven't quite gotten around to decorating out here yet.
00:37:47Well, if you need some help, I got a guy.
00:37:57Does he have any references?
00:38:01Not in my whole life.
00:38:03I'll think about it.
00:38:06Good night.
00:38:07Good night.
00:38:27Good night.
00:38:57C'est parti.
00:39:27C'est magnifique. C'est le équilibre de l'histoire et de l'artiste.
00:39:34Go back, s'il vous plaît.
00:39:37Bien sûr.
00:39:38C'est là, c'est là.
00:39:40C'est ce que je ne peux pas trouver.
00:39:43Il n'y a pas de record de qu'il n'y a jamais été un treetopper en 1969.
00:39:48C'est impossible. C'est une tradition de l'artiste.
00:39:51C'est ce que je pensais, mais...
00:39:52Nous ne pouvons pas avoir un gap dans le temps de l'artiste de l'artiste de l'artiste.
00:39:56C'est nous semblant incompetent.
00:39:59Je ne sais pas ce que je peux faire pour ça.
00:40:02C'est quelque chose, je espère.
00:40:05C'est votre problème, Jessica.
00:40:08Vous avez besoin de l'arrêt.
00:40:09C'est parti.
00:40:39Non, c'est 있ant ce qu'il dit.
00:40:41Il m'a donné un petit peu à la fin de la soirée.
00:40:44Ça a l'air a l'air.
00:40:45C'est bon pour toi.
00:40:46M'a fait un double.
00:40:48Vous savez, ce n'est pas fair.
00:40:50Ce n'est pas fair.
00:40:51Je veux dire, je suis là terminée d'un jour,
00:40:53et vous avez deux gars à vous de vous de vous.
00:40:55Je n'ai pas deux gars, Cass.
00:40:57Je m'ai un boyfriend et je m'ai un co-worker.
00:41:01Ah, donc Nick est juste votre co-worker.
00:41:04C'est tout.
00:41:05Et vous avez dit votre co-worker à votre co-worker ?
00:41:08Non, ça ne vient pas dans cette conversation.
00:41:12Oui, c'est bon.
00:41:14C'est bon, Cassidy, la façon dont votre co-worker fonctionne...
00:41:18Oh, tu veux cette receipt ou peux-tu avoir ça ?
00:41:20Ma accountant dit que je peux déductir
00:41:21les choses à la fin de la fin de la fin de la fin de la fin de la fin.
00:41:29Quoi ?
00:41:38Hi.
00:41:42Jessica, guess what ?
00:41:43They approved my grant.
00:41:46Oh, that's wonderful news, Dennis.
00:41:48I'm so happy for...
00:41:49Listen, I got an important question I want to ask you.
00:41:51Okay.
00:41:52Not over the phone.
00:41:53Meet me at Crawford's, 6 o'clock.
00:41:55All right.
00:41:56Great, see you then.
00:42:05I thought I might find you down here.
00:42:06You okay ?
00:42:08Look at this.
00:42:10Receipt ?
00:42:11In 1969, the Plaza Tree didn't have a Feniel D'Abra.
00:42:14Really ?
00:42:15Nobody seems to know why.
00:42:18Our full Christmas boutique received from the Plaza Hotel.
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:22It's for the treetopper they ordered that year,
00:42:24but they didn't put it on the tree.
00:42:26Well, maybe they didn't get it.
00:42:27Or maybe it's still there.
00:42:28We're sorry.
00:42:31The number you have reached...
00:42:32Number's out of service.
00:42:35Well, they used to be down in the East Village.
00:42:38We're here to go check it out,
00:42:39see if they're still in business.
00:42:40It's been so long.
00:42:41It's probably a waste of time.
00:42:43Well, you want to find that missing Feniel D'Abra,
00:42:44don't you ?
00:42:45I gotta meet with some suppliers down there anyways.
00:42:48Come on.
00:42:51Feniel D'Abra.
00:42:52Hey, what are you waiting for?
00:42:57Christmas?
00:43:14Whoa, look at this one.
00:43:16Look at the detail work.
00:43:18It must have taken them days to set this up.
00:43:19That is beautiful.
00:43:21Come on, let's take a picture.
00:43:22Give me your phone.
00:43:23No, it's okay.
00:43:24Come on, Christmas only comes once a year.
00:43:31Thank you.
00:43:41Chestnuts.
00:43:43Come on.
00:43:47Don't you just love roasted chestnuts?
00:43:49Believe it or not, I've never had any.
00:43:51Seriously?
00:43:51I actually didn't think they were a real thing.
00:43:54I thought they were just from that song.
00:43:56Well, you are in for an authentic Christmas tree.
00:43:59Two, please.
00:44:02Why did we park so far away?
00:44:05Did we?
00:44:06We've been walking for blocks.
00:44:08Well, yeah, but then we got to see the skaters of 30 Rock
00:44:10and the merry-go-round at Bryant Park
00:44:11and the Christmas windows and the big Christmas tree.
00:44:12If I didn't know better, I'd say you did this on purpose.
00:44:16Hey, the store.
00:44:18Ah-ha, the Plaza Tree Topper.
00:44:36I knew I heard this story before.
00:44:39It's part of my family history.
00:44:41Back when my grandpa used to own the business,
00:44:43we'd buy most of the stuff.
00:44:45But back in the day, I had an uncle who worked here.
00:44:48He used to design and build everything by hand.
00:44:51So this would have been a really important commission for him.
00:44:53How so?
00:44:54Well, the Plaza would usually sell replicas
00:44:56of their annual tree topper in the gift shop.
00:44:59So that would have been a big boost for the family business.
00:45:01You said would have been?
00:45:03What happened?
00:45:04Nobody really knows.
00:45:06Apparently, my uncle just lost interest and didn't finish it.
00:45:09But do you know why?
00:45:10No.
00:45:11He stopped designing and never made another Christmas decoration.
00:45:15He quit the whole family business.
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:19That's him.
00:45:24Our Brookwater.
00:45:26Yep.
00:45:27That's my uncle.
00:45:29How long has he been gone?
00:45:31Gone?
00:45:32No, he's not gone.
00:45:34You mean your uncle's still alive?
00:45:37Yeah.
00:45:38I thought you knew.
00:45:39Uncle Reggie works at the Plaza.
00:45:43Reginald Brookwater?
00:45:45Right.
00:45:45He's the head bellman.
00:45:52Here we go.
00:45:54We need to talk.
00:46:05So, how'd you find out?
00:46:08Your nephew told me.
00:46:09He showed me some of your other pieces.
00:46:11You're a wonderful artist.
00:46:13What exactly are you looking for?
00:46:16Your tree topper.
00:46:17The one you started to make in 1969.
00:46:20I was hoping maybe you still had it
00:46:21for my Christmas at the Plaza display.
00:46:24I'm afraid not.
00:46:25Well, could you draw one for me?
00:46:27I mean, based on your original design, of course.
00:46:29That was a long time ago.
00:46:31I left that life behind me.
00:46:33I understand that, but I really need it to complete the archive.
00:46:36Otherwise, we're missing an important part of the history of...
00:46:39Miss Cooper, I really appreciate what you're trying to do here,
00:46:42but I can't help you.
00:46:43Now, if you'll excuse me, we have a full hotel this week.
00:46:46So, what are you going to do?
00:46:57Well, I can't force the man to make me a Christmas ornament.
00:47:00I guess I'll just have to tell Amanda that we're missing one
00:47:02and that's all there is to it.
00:47:04You think she's going to be okay with that?
00:47:06I doubt it.
00:47:06She doesn't strike me as somebody who sees failure as an option,
00:47:09but I just don't know what else to do.
00:47:12Well, why don't we drown your sorrows in a big plate of linguine and clams?
00:47:17I can't.
00:47:18Oh, come on. It doesn't have to be linguine.
00:47:20No, I mean, I have dinner plans with...
00:47:22Ah, Dennis. Got it.
00:47:24Yeah.
00:47:25He said he's got something very important to talk to me about.
00:47:28Well, you want to get in the way of that.
00:47:32Nick.
00:47:32Okay. Don't worry about it.
00:47:34See you later.
00:47:39Jessica, any progress on our missing Phenial Dara?
00:47:49Actually, Amanda, I'm not having much luck.
00:47:51I thought I'd located it, but I...
00:47:52Well, I have faith in you.
00:47:54I know you don't want to let me down.
00:47:56Or the plaza.
00:47:58No, of course not.
00:47:59But there's not...
00:47:59So I can safely assume that you will continue your search
00:48:02until you find it.
00:48:04Excuse me.
00:48:09Okay, no pushing, no shoving.
00:48:27Everybody gets a chance to see Santa.
00:48:30Here you go.
00:48:33Okay, I'll be right back.
00:48:35Stay in line or get on the naughty list.
00:48:37Just kidding.
00:48:38Hi.
00:48:42I thought I'd stop by for inspection on the way.
00:48:45It's new.
00:48:46Oh, very nice.
00:48:48What's the occasion?
00:48:49Dinner with Dennis.
00:48:50He said he's got something important he wanted to ask me.
00:48:52And what do you think it is?
00:48:54I don't know.
00:48:56Do you think he's going to ask you to marry him?
00:48:59Cassidy, that's the last thing I think he's going to do.
00:49:01No, it makes sense.
00:49:03Almost your two-year dating anniversary.
00:49:05You're going to meet his parents.
00:49:07You think?
00:49:08I do.
00:49:09See what I did there?
00:49:11And if he does, I will officially take back every bad thing I've ever said about him.
00:49:16Aren't we kind of jumping to conclusions here?
00:49:18Maybe, but maybe not.
00:49:21Who knows?
00:49:22This might just be one of the best nights of your life.
00:49:25Well, here you are.
00:49:37Hi.
00:49:38How was your day?
00:49:39Actually, I'm having one of the...
00:49:40That's great.
00:49:41Okay, so listen.
00:49:42I've been trying to figure out the right way to ask you this for a while now, so I'm just
00:49:47going to come right out and say it.
00:49:52Jessica, I trust you more than anyone I've ever known.
00:49:56So I would like to ask you...
00:50:00I would like to ask you if you would work with me on my research project for next year.
00:50:11What?
00:50:15I told you I got the grant, so you could give up that Christmas project and we could work together instead.
00:50:21Wouldn't that be great?
00:50:22That's what you wanted to ask me?
00:50:27To write a paper with you?
00:50:30Well, yeah.
00:50:32What did you think?
00:50:35Something else.
00:50:39Like what?
00:50:42Something I thought I didn't want.
00:50:47Jessica, you're not really making any sense.
00:50:51No.
00:50:52I suppose I'm not.
00:50:55Excuse me.
00:50:56Where are you going?
00:51:00I think I need some fresh air.
00:51:02I'm sorry.
00:51:05I'm sorry.
00:51:14I appreciate it.
00:51:24I don't know.
00:51:24I've definitely opened it in above.
00:51:25I don't eat there again.
00:51:25I don't know.
00:51:25I don't know.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:26I don't know.
00:51:27I don't know.
00:51:28But we don't know.
00:51:28So самое we got there.
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:29I don't know.
00:51:30I think I'm sorry.
00:51:30I don't know.
00:51:31Hey
00:51:39So, how was your dinner?
00:51:44I don't want to talk about it
00:51:46Okay
00:51:47Then we won't talk about it
00:51:50Does your offer still send?
00:51:52I mean, about the linguine
00:51:53I got a better idea
00:51:57I know a place that serves up
00:51:59Good old-fashioned Christmas spirit
00:52:01They're open all night
00:52:02So, you want to talk about it yet?
00:52:14Not really, no
00:52:15Okay
00:52:17It was all my fault
00:52:18I jumped to conclusions
00:52:19I don't want to marry Dennis yet anyway
00:52:21You don't?
00:52:23No
00:52:23How are you supposed to know
00:52:24If you want to spend the rest of your life
00:52:25With somebody after only two years?
00:52:28Well, I've heard it's been done
00:52:30Not only two weeks
00:52:31Yeah, here we are
00:52:35Ah, wow
00:52:45Nick, this is beautiful
00:52:48This must have taken you days
00:52:50Don't you ever get tired of Christmas decorating?
00:52:54Nah
00:52:55Look up there
00:52:57See, some jobs I do for money
00:53:03And some jobs I do for love
00:53:05See the white star?
00:53:09That's how you can tell I did this one for love
00:53:11Oh, I almost forgot
00:53:15I have an extra one you can use
00:53:19What's this for?
00:53:26I'm about to find out
00:53:27Nicky, you're late
00:53:33I know, Ma
00:53:34Sorry, it was working
00:53:35Hello
00:53:35Hi
00:53:36Ma, this is Jessica
00:53:38Jessica, this is my mom
00:53:39Very nice to meet you, Mrs. Ferrelli
00:53:41Call me Lana
00:53:42Everybody else does
00:53:43You've got your sweaters on
00:53:46Great
00:53:46Well, come on in
00:53:47We've got work to do
00:53:48Oh, thanks
00:53:50What is all this?
00:53:52Oh, it's just a little something
00:53:53My family puts together every year
00:53:55Do our Christmas shopping early
00:53:57And wrap all the presents
00:53:58To give to a couple of local charities
00:54:00So everybody gets Christmas
00:54:01Wow, that's really nice
00:54:04Everybody
00:54:04Hey, everybody
00:54:06Look who finally showed up
00:54:09Nicky
00:54:11Nicky
00:54:11Hi
00:54:12And this is Jessica
00:54:14Jessica, this is everybody
00:54:17Hi, Jessica
00:54:17Hi
00:54:18Okay, you get to work
00:54:21Jessica, come with me
00:54:23Have fun
00:54:25Welcome to Cookie Command Center
00:54:32We wrap all these up
00:54:34And take them over
00:54:34To the Veterans' Home
00:54:35On Clark Street
00:54:36You do this every year?
00:54:38Oh, it's no big deal
00:54:39We have so much
00:54:41It seems like the right thing to do
00:54:43So, how do you and my Nicky
00:54:46Know each other?
00:54:47Oh, we've been kind of
00:54:48Working together at the Plaza
00:54:49Oh, only work?
00:54:53We're just friends
00:54:54Well, you must be a pretty special friend
00:54:58My son hasn't brought anybody home
00:54:59For Christmas in years
00:55:00Not since he and Alicia
00:55:02Well, in years
00:55:06It's okay
00:55:07He told me about her
00:55:08Did he tell you she broke his heart?
00:55:14How's it going in here?
00:55:16Well, don't expect any miracles
00:55:18I haven't made cookies since I was a kid
00:55:20It's like riding a bike
00:55:22You never really forget how
00:55:23Okay, everybody
00:55:26It's showtime
00:55:28How do we have to?
00:55:31Oh, come on, Nicky
00:55:32You know it's a family tradition
00:55:34Let's go
00:55:35Come on, let's do this
00:55:36I'm sorry about this
00:55:39What's a tradition?
00:55:41I saw three ships come sailing in
00:55:45On Christmas Day in the morning
00:55:49Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you
00:55:53And now you know why I'm married
00:55:57Okay, our final singer in this year's Christmas karaoke will be...
00:56:02Jessica
00:56:05Jessica
00:56:06No, I can't really
00:56:10I'm not good at this sort of thing
00:56:11Oh, Nicky, why don't you help her?
00:56:13All right, all right
00:56:15All right
00:56:16All right
00:56:18Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:56:31Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
00:56:35Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
00:56:40Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
00:56:45You did that on purpose
00:57:06I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about
00:57:09You break the vote, so Jessica and I have to sing together
00:57:12Oh, Nicky
00:57:13What a terrible thing to accuse your mother of doing
00:57:15Shame on you
00:57:16Okay
00:57:17Night, Mom
00:57:21Thank you
00:57:25I had such fun tonight
00:57:26I hope we'll see you again during the holidays
00:57:30But I imagine you have plans
00:57:32Actually, I do
00:57:34You don't seem very happy about it
00:57:37You know what, Lana?
00:57:39I'm not
00:57:40Well, Christmas isn't just about cookies and sing-alongs
00:57:44It's also about reflecting on the past year
00:57:47Where we are
00:57:49Where we're going
00:57:50Maybe this is that kind of Christmas for you
00:57:54Thank you
00:57:57Merry Christmas
00:58:00Sorry about that
00:58:17My family gets a little crazy sometimes
00:58:19Are you kidding?
00:58:20I loved them
00:58:21My mom really liked you, too
00:58:23I could tell
00:58:24She made me feel pretty special
00:58:26She said you hadn't brought anybody home for Christmas in a long time
00:58:29Let me guess
00:58:31She mentioned Alicia
00:58:33Just once
00:58:35My mom talks too much sometimes
00:58:39Alicia and I were engaged
00:58:44Until she decided there was no real future with a guy who decorates Christmas trees
00:58:49I'm sorry
00:58:50It's all right
00:58:51I should be grateful, I guess
00:58:53That's a very healthy attitude
00:58:55She dumped me at Christmas
00:58:58So every year, instead of thinking about it, I decorate it
00:59:01Nothing like a heartbreak to really help your business take off
00:59:04Uh-oh
00:59:12What is it?
00:59:14Looks like we gotta take a detour
00:59:16How about now?
00:59:25Still off
00:59:25I don't get it
00:59:29Fuses are all working
00:59:31The bulbs are all fine
00:59:32Ah, wait a sec
00:59:37Primary connective conductor system isn't achieving maximum wattage polarity due to an oxygen breach
00:59:42I'm sorry?
00:59:44Somebody pulled out the plug
00:59:45It's beautiful, Nick
00:59:51Thanks
00:59:53You know, this place used to be a nightclub
00:59:56Really?
00:59:58Uh-huh
00:59:58It's called the Persian Room
00:59:59It's one of the most elegant places in the city
01:00:02Sinatra used to sing here
01:00:04Who?
01:00:06You're kidding, right?
01:00:07A little
01:00:07And this place right here, this used to be the dance floor
01:00:11My grandparents met here
01:00:13Really?
01:00:15Mm-hmm
01:00:16It was Christmas Eve
01:00:17She was a nurse and he was away on shore leave
01:00:20And he asked her to dance
01:00:22Like this
01:00:23And they danced together all night
01:00:27And when the sun came up, they made a promise to each other that when he got back from the war
01:00:32They would never be apart again
01:00:34And they kept that promise the rest of their lives
01:00:38And so I come here every year on Christmas Eve
01:00:42And I have a glass of champagne in their honor
01:00:44That's a very special Christmas tradition
01:00:47Look, I, uh, I know you don't like to think about the future
01:00:51But, uh, what are you doing on Christmas Eve?
01:00:57Nick
01:00:57I'm sorry
01:00:59I'm sorry, I thought
01:01:00You're a wonderful person
01:01:02You're a wonderful person
01:01:02Really, but, uh
01:01:03I, I can't do this
01:01:06I'm sorry
01:01:06I have to go
01:01:07Go on
01:01:08Go on

01:03:20Oh wow
01:03:25How long has that been in there?
01:03:29Oh, close to 50 years
01:03:32Do me a favor, put on a big pot of hot coffee and crank up some Christmas music and leave me be for a couple hours
01:03:46Okay
01:03:47You got some work to do
01:03:50And alternate the larger and smaller panels along the outside so it creates a flow through
01:04:00Don't forget to leave some room for a couple trees
01:04:03Hi
01:04:05Hi
01:04:07I wasn't sure you'd be here
01:04:09We're a team, right?
01:04:11At least I thought so
01:04:13Nick
01:04:15Just let me finish
01:04:17About the other night
01:04:19I didn't mean for that to happen
01:04:21That's not true
01:04:22I meant for that to happen but
01:04:24I was out of line and I'm sorry
01:04:26No Nick, I'm sorry too
01:04:28Look, I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about you, I do
01:04:34But Dennis and I have been together almost two years
01:04:39I'm gonna go to Florida to meet his parents
01:04:42Sounds...fun
01:04:45The thing is...I'm in a relationship and I can't let my feelings for you get in the way
01:04:54Well, mine either, huh?
01:04:56Nick, don't say that
01:04:58I'm sorry, I just...I promised myself I wouldn't be a sore loser and I guess that's a little...inclusive
01:05:03It's a little easier said than done
01:05:09I should get back to work
01:05:14Wait
01:05:19I still have your Christmas sweater
01:05:23You better keep it
01:05:24I hear it gets cold in Florida at night
01:05:33Okay
01:05:38Dennis
01:05:39My parents have arranged a car to pick us up at the Miami airport
01:05:42And then we'll meet them for dinner at this...oh, oh, oh, oh
01:05:46Sorry
01:05:47That's okay
01:05:48Dennis, you said you had something you wanted to talk about
01:05:52Right
01:05:53The thing is...I was thinking about the other night
01:05:57What about it?
01:05:58I was thinking about...
01:06:02Why you left
01:06:05If you don't want to write the paper with me, I understand
01:06:07It's not about the paper
01:06:09It's not
01:06:10Who bought the tickets?
01:06:20What do you mean?
01:06:21For a trip to Florida
01:06:23Who bought the plane tickets?
01:06:25My parents
01:06:26It's only fair, it was their idea
01:06:28Why?
01:06:29Why?
01:06:34Dennis
01:06:35You're a very nice guy
01:06:37You're smart
01:06:38And I know you mean well
01:06:40But...
01:06:43I need more than that
01:06:47What kind of more?
01:06:50We've been together two years
01:06:51Almost two years
01:06:53Right
01:06:55Almost two years
01:06:56And I thought I didn't want a commitment
01:06:57Because that meant thinking about the future
01:06:59And that was scary
01:07:03But I've seen what the future can look like
01:07:05And I'm not scared anymore
01:07:09Are you talking about...
01:07:12Marriage?
01:07:15I don't know exactly what I'm talking about, Dennis
01:07:18But whatever it is
01:07:20I know it's not this
01:07:24Wait...
01:07:26Are you breaking up with me?
01:07:28I'm not sure there was anything to break up
01:07:31Are you sure about this?
01:07:33I am
01:07:40I'm...
01:07:42Sorry, I...
01:07:44I guess I always knew this was gonna happen
01:07:46I just...
01:07:47I didn't want to admit it
01:07:49Take care of yourself, Dennis
01:07:52You too
01:07:54Merry Christmas
01:07:56Merry Christmas
01:07:57Merry Christmas
01:07:58I mean, gez
01:07:59Let's...
01:08:00I'm gonna make you all, thanks
01:08:01Christmas
01:08:07Merry Christmas
01:08:08Yes
01:08:19Yheese
01:08:26I think we're up first
01:08:27Are you sure?
01:08:28Oh, Miss Cooper
01:08:35I have a package for you
01:08:38It was left here sometime last night
01:08:42With your name on it
01:08:43I didn't see a card or anything
01:08:46I know who sent it
01:08:54Thank you
01:08:55Oh, I thought maybe you'd like it
01:08:57But you said
01:08:59I did
01:09:00I stopped making things like that a long time ago
01:09:03You never said why you quit
01:09:06Gloves
01:09:09It was 1969
01:09:15Her name was Marie
01:09:17And I was going to marry her
01:09:18And I was making the treetopper that year
01:09:22In her honor
01:09:23And I was going to propose to her on Christmas Eve
01:09:26But her parents didn't approve of us
01:09:29Me, actually
01:09:31So they thought of me as someone who made Christmas decorations
01:09:35And what kind of life could I provide for their daughter
01:09:38And so they made us stop seeing each other
01:09:42And every time I looked at that thing, it reminded me of her
01:09:46And I couldn't throw it away
01:09:48So I hid it and tried to forget about it
01:09:51Like it never even existed at all
01:09:53And you never made anything again?
01:09:55Well, my heart wasn't in it anymore
01:09:59You know, I made things with love
01:10:02I guess
01:10:03And I guess I just stopped believing in that
01:10:05So why are you giving this to me?
01:10:11Working at the plaza all these years
01:10:13I've seen honeymooners and newlyweds
01:10:17And proposals and weddings
01:10:19And then watching this Christmas
01:10:21You and Nick together
01:10:23I thought
01:10:25Maybe one shouldn't give up on love
01:10:28How can we be in love?
01:10:31Nick and I barely know each other
01:10:33We just met
01:10:34Yes, but you met him at this hotel
01:10:36And you know what we say around here
01:10:38Nothing unimportant ever happens at the plaza
01:10:44And run another string of lights through there
01:10:52I don't want the place to sparkle
01:10:54Nick
01:10:57Alicia
01:11:00What are you doing here?
01:11:06When I heard your voice the other day
01:11:07It brought back so many memories
01:11:09So I thought I'd come and say hi
01:11:11Why?
01:11:13How you doing?
01:11:15Exhausted
01:11:15I just finished a really intense Spain class
01:11:17You've done a great job here, Nick
01:11:19It's beautiful
01:11:20Thanks
01:11:22This is going to open up so many possibilities for you
01:11:25I hope so
01:11:26I have always been very proud of you
01:11:29You know?
01:11:33Missed you, Nick
01:11:34Miss us
01:11:36Hey, what are you doing?
01:11:47What does it look like?
01:11:49At least we've been over for a long time
01:11:51I know, but that's in the past
01:11:54I know
01:11:55I'm sorry, but I think that's where I should stay
01:11:58I feel like I gotta get back to work
01:12:02Merry Christmas
01:12:05Merry Christmas
01:12:07Have yourself a merry little Christmas
01:12:19Let your heart be light
01:12:25From now on
01:12:29From now on
01:12:31Our troubles
01:12:32Will be out of sight
01:12:35Through the years
01:12:44We all will be together
01:12:48If the fates allow
01:12:49If the fates allow
01:12:53Hang a shining star
01:13:00Upon the highest bar
01:13:02Upon the highest bar
01:13:05And have your seat
01:13:07A merry little Christmas
01:13:19Night
01:13:20The plaza has many stories to tell
01:13:29Especially around the holidays
01:13:31And this year
01:13:32With this wonderful
01:13:34History of Christmas display
01:13:36We hope to share some of them
01:13:39With all of you
01:13:40Please welcome
01:13:42The very talented historian
01:13:45Who put all of this together for us
01:13:47Jessica Cooper
01:13:49Thank you so much
01:13:57Such an honor to have been entrusted
01:14:00With the legacy of the Plaza Hotel
01:14:02But I also want to acknowledge
01:14:04Another very important part of that legacy
01:14:06My wonderful friend
01:14:08Reginald Brookwater
01:14:10Who generously brought us
01:14:12A long lost piece of history
01:14:13From a Christmas past
01:14:15Christmas is
01:14:25Christmas is
01:14:34A time for celebration
01:14:35But also
01:14:38Maybe a time for reflection
01:14:40Not just the history
01:14:43Of all of this
01:14:44But the history of all of us
01:14:46These beautiful decorations
01:14:49Are an important part
01:14:50Of the holidays
01:14:51But
01:14:52I don't think it's the decorations
01:14:54That make Christmas memories
01:14:56It's the decorating
01:14:58It's the coming together
01:15:01It's the coming together
01:15:01To put up a tree
01:15:02Hang some lights
01:15:04Make cookies
01:15:05Even sing Christmas songs
01:15:06Sometimes badly
01:15:09I
01:15:11I guess what I'm trying to say is
01:15:14It's not just what we do
01:15:16It's not just what we do
01:15:16That makes the holidays special
01:15:18It's
01:15:18It's what we are to each other
01:15:21And it's what's in our hearts
01:15:23That makes us all a part
01:15:25Of the history of Christmas
01:15:26Thank you
01:15:29Thank you
01:15:33About a nice week
01:15:34Thank you
01:15:34Thank you
01:15:37Thank you
01:15:37Thank you
01:15:38Thank you
