00:00:00Santa bring my baby back to me
00:00:30The tree is ready
00:00:31The candles all it blows
00:00:33But with my baby far away
00:00:36The good is a mistletoe
00:00:38Santa bring my baby back to me
00:00:44Santa bring my baby back to me
00:00:46Santa bring my baby back to me
00:00:49Oh, juggling presents and presentations
00:00:54Laurel, you're amazing
00:00:56I don't know how you do it
00:00:57I'm just trying not to wrap Emma's doll in my pie chart
00:00:59Well, if anyone can multitask, it's you
00:01:02I better get going
00:01:05I lose my sitter at 5.30
00:01:07And I promised Emma that I'd help her build a snowman
00:01:09For a school art project
00:01:11Good luck
00:01:11Incoming
00:01:13Ready for Memphis, Laurel?
00:01:17Absolutely, Mr. Hatcher
00:01:18Leaving the day after tomorrow
00:01:20Hard at work, I see
00:01:22Oh, sorry
00:01:23I was just trying to get my Christmas wrapping done
00:01:26So I can focus on my meetings in Memphis
00:01:28Well, I'm counting on that Southern charm of yours
00:01:31The local touch might be just what we need to get them off the fence
00:01:33Acquiring Cypress Savings and Loan would give Chicago Financial the foothold we need in the South
00:01:38I'll make sure it goes perfectly
00:01:40Are you planning any R&R while you're down there?
00:01:42Well, I'm just there for a week
00:01:44So when I'm not in meetings, I'll be prepping for the next one
00:01:46Right answer
00:01:48If you close this deal, you might just find a promotion in your Christmas stocking
00:01:51Oh, uh, before you leave tonight
00:01:55We need to talk over the revisions to the proposal
00:01:57I want to review their list of fixed assets and depreciation schedule
00:02:00Or I could just maybe email you my thoughts later tonight
00:02:04I'd prefer to go over it now
00:02:06Yes, sir, Mr. Hatcher
00:02:30Mrs. Novak, I'm so sorry I'm late
00:02:57Oh, please, she's an angel
00:02:58I just tucked her in, but I think she's still awake
00:03:00You are a lifesaver, thank you so much
00:03:04You're welcome, dear
00:03:05I hope you get a little time to relax over the holidays
00:03:08Merry Christmas, thank you so much
00:03:10Oh, before you leave, I got you a little something
00:03:13It's not much, but I hope you like it
00:03:15Thank you
00:03:16Merry Christmas
00:03:28Hi, Mommy
00:03:37Hello, my little angel
00:03:40I made a snowman
00:03:42Oh, I saw the picture
00:03:44I'm so sorry I wasn't here to help
00:03:47It's okay
00:03:49I know you tried
00:03:51You know what?
00:03:55I'm going to have a great Christmas in Memphis
00:03:57I promise
00:03:58Okay, Mommy
00:04:01I love you, goodnight
00:04:03I love you too, sweetie
00:04:04Mom, will Santa be able to find us in Memphis?
00:04:16Of course he will
00:04:17He can find good kids wherever they are
00:04:19Are you going to be working?
00:04:20Yeah, just a bit
00:04:21But when I'm in meetings
00:04:23You'll be with my friend Sally and her family
00:04:25You might not remember Sally
00:04:27She's my old college roommate
00:04:29She has a daughter about your age, too
00:04:31And if we have time
00:04:33I'll get to show you Gracelyn at Christmas
00:04:35Just like Grandma and Grandpa showed you
00:04:38Oh, it's lights and Christmas everywhere you look
00:04:42Can I bring my stockings?
00:04:44Why not?
00:04:46We can hang our stockings here
00:04:47We can certainly hang them in our hotel room
00:04:49Alright, I'm going to pack you some books for the plane
00:04:52Your school had auditions for a Christmas party?
00:04:59Bridget, why didn't you tell me?
00:05:02You know, what's wrong, honey?
00:05:03I just didn't want to sing in front of all those people
00:05:06Aw, well, it can be fun to try new things
00:05:09Aren't you glad I talked to you in a sledding with me last year?
00:05:14Yeah
00:05:14Yeah?
00:05:16Alright
00:05:16You ready?
00:05:18Let's rock and roll
00:05:19Memphis is so pretty
00:05:35Why did Grandpa move to Arizona anyway?
00:05:39Grandpa prefers sand to snow
00:05:41But I love snow
00:05:43Me too, honey
00:05:44And there was nothing that Grandma loved more than Christmas in Memphis
00:05:49Hey, I want to show you something
00:05:54That's the house I grew up in
00:06:03The porch swing's still there
00:06:05I used to sit on that swing with my mom
00:06:07Looks like whoever lives there still loves Christmas
00:06:11Yeah, looks like they do
00:06:14Alright
00:06:25Mom, can we decorate like this at home?
00:06:31I'd love to, sweetie
00:06:32But I'm not sure where the roof reindeer are going to go in her condo
00:06:36Sally!
00:06:38Merry Christmas!
00:06:41So good to see you
00:06:43Oh my gosh
00:06:44Look
00:06:45Hi, Emma
00:06:46Do you remember me?
00:06:47I'm Sally
00:06:48Oh, you've grown so much since the last time I saw you
00:06:52Yeah
00:06:52I cannot believe you're here
00:06:55No
00:06:55Oh, how about to drive in?
00:06:57The city's still as beautiful as ever
00:06:58We took a detour past Shelby Farms
00:07:01They still do the most amazing Christmas lights
00:07:04Right?
00:07:05Well, come on inside
00:07:06Here, watch this sit, watch this
00:07:07Ted, Merry Christmas
00:07:08Merry Christmas, love
00:07:09Oh, so good to see you
00:07:10See you too
00:07:11And welcome back to Memphis
00:07:12Thank you, love
00:07:12This is my daughter, Emma
00:07:14And Merry Christmas to you too, little lady
00:07:16Here, let me take your coat
00:07:17Oh, great
00:07:18Sal, these decorations are amazing
00:07:20Sal
00:07:20That's what happens when a graphic designer falls in love with a handsome electrician
00:07:25Like a couple of turtle doves
00:07:26Look at you, baby
00:07:27Of course
00:07:27Hi
00:07:28Hi
00:07:29Hey
00:07:29Emma, you probably don't remember Lainey
00:07:31Since the last time you two saw each other, you were both elf size
00:07:34We're making mason jar snow globes
00:07:36That is so cute
00:07:38Mom, look how tiny the Santa and Slay are
00:07:41You add glitter to the mason jars and a drop or two of glycerin
00:07:44And before you can say Kris Kringle
00:07:45Instant mason jar snow globes
00:07:48Wow
00:07:48Voila
00:07:48Can I try?
00:07:50It's okay, honey, go have fun
00:07:52Can I have fun?
00:07:53Give me a sec to hang these up, then it's eggnog all around
00:07:55All right, I love me some eggnog
00:07:57Lainey is so sweet
00:07:59Emma can be a little shy so she doesn't have too many friends back home
00:08:03Lainey will make her feel welcome
00:08:04Yeah
00:08:05God, it's so good to see you
00:08:06It's so good to have you home
00:08:08Yes
00:08:09You know, if it weren't for work, then
00:08:10I don't know when I'd have been able to come back
00:08:12You know, after mom passed, I just, I wasn't ready
00:08:15But Emma's never seen Memphis
00:08:17And I've always wanted to show her a great one, especially at Christmas
00:08:20And to see me, of course
00:08:21Of course
00:08:22Oh, Sal, you got a backyard
00:08:26I remember those
00:08:28Couldn't you find a house in the Chicago suburbs?
00:08:31I noticed a pattern at work
00:08:32The longer you spend commuting, the less time you have at home
00:08:35Shame you have to work over the holidays
00:08:37Yeah, but if this week is a success, then I'm in line for a VP
00:08:40So that will hopefully afford me more time to spend with Emma
00:08:43Yeah
00:08:44Sal, oh my gosh, I can't believe you kept these
00:08:48Let alone frame them
00:08:49It's my history, too
00:08:51I practically went to all of your shows
00:08:53You know, I think the reason Clay and I booked so many gigs
00:08:55Was the awesome posters you designed for us
00:08:57Well
00:08:58Speaking of, do you ever see him around?
00:09:02I bump into him every once in a while
00:09:04Uh-huh
00:09:04He's doing well
00:09:05Oh, good
00:09:05Still full of surprises, I'm sure
00:09:07I bet
00:09:08Yeah, he always did have 20 different things going on
00:09:10Even back in third grade
00:09:12Restless
00:09:13Spent more time in the corner
00:09:14Than at his desk
00:09:16Gosh
00:09:17Here you are, ladies
00:09:19As promised
00:09:20Thank you, Tad
00:09:21Christmas
00:09:22Christmas
00:09:24Christmas
00:09:26Christmas
00:09:27Christmas
00:09:30Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
00:09:33And the snow is falling on the ground
00:09:37This was Elvis' home
00:09:39Elves lived here?
00:09:40No, honey
00:09:41Elvis, the king of rock and roll
00:09:43Do all these other people live here, too?
00:09:47No, honey
00:09:47But Elvis always loved having family here at Christmas
00:09:50It's just a bigger family these days
00:09:52What's it like inside?
00:09:55It's so beautiful
00:09:56We'll try to take a tour later this week
00:09:58In the meantime, I want to get your picture in front of those lights
00:10:00Come here
00:10:01All right
00:10:01All right
00:10:02Right up there
00:10:04All right
00:10:04Hang on, Emma
00:10:05I can't get as much of the mansion in it as I can
00:10:08Merry Christmas
00:10:08Oh, my goodness
00:10:09I'm so sorry
00:10:10Laura?
00:10:12Look at Clay
00:10:13What are you doing here?
00:10:15I'm in town on business
00:10:16What are you doing here?
00:10:17I'm promoting a show here
00:10:19But I still live in Memphis
00:10:20And you're in Chicago?
00:10:21Chicago, yeah
00:10:22Wow, it's been years
00:10:23Yeah
00:10:24Ten of them, I think
00:10:25Wow, is
00:10:27Is this a third-grade reunion?
00:10:29Oh, look at you
00:10:30Wearing a tie
00:10:31Tied myself, yeah
00:10:32Mom
00:10:33Mom, come and look at this
00:10:34Gotta go, mommy dude
00:10:35Yeah, yeah
00:10:35Wow, you look fantastic
00:10:37Thank you
00:10:38And who's this?
00:10:40This is my daughter, Emma
00:10:41Emma, this is Clay
00:10:42Hi, Clay
00:10:43How are you, Emma?
00:10:44I'm seven
00:10:45Did you know I was seven when I met your mom?
00:10:49Pretty cool, right?
00:10:50So, a Christmas concert
00:10:52Does that mean you're still performing?
00:10:53I'm still in music
00:10:54But on the other side of the piano now
00:10:55I'm a concert promoter
00:10:56So we're actually doing the concert here at Graceland
00:10:59That's wonderful
00:10:59Are you a performer like your mom was?
00:11:02She was awesome
00:11:04She had a voice you'd never forget
00:11:07Clearly, you're in promotion
00:11:09Oh, yeah
00:11:10Clay and I used to perform together
00:11:13I sang and played guitar
00:11:14And he played piano
00:11:15She never told you about her musical past?
00:11:18Huh
00:11:19Would you look at the time?
00:11:20Our hotel room at the guest house is ready
00:11:22Ready, baby?
00:11:23You guys mind if I walk you over?
00:11:26Uh, sure
00:11:27I guess, yeah
00:11:28If you have time
00:11:28Let's go
00:11:29So I miss the first time in Memphis, huh?
00:11:32Yeah
00:11:32Did your husband meet you at the hotel?
00:11:34He's not in the picture anymore
00:11:35Oh, sorry to hear that
00:11:36How about you?
00:11:38Married?
00:11:39Only in my work
00:11:40And it's a pretty rocky marriage at the moment
00:11:42Hmm
00:11:43These things can turn on you in a minute
00:11:45Well, you and a tie is certainly new
00:11:47It's kind of a requirement now
00:11:48Ah
00:11:49So a concert promoter
00:11:51Surprised you didn't stay on the creative side
00:11:54Ah, well
00:11:55These days I'm on the pain side
00:11:57Organizing these things to me
00:11:58Like wrangling cats in a circus
00:12:00It's where, uh
00:12:01Dreaming meets practicality
00:12:03Sounds like us back in the day
00:12:04Oh, we were no pipe dream
00:12:06We were on our way
00:12:07Have you already forgot about our final performance?
00:12:10Okay, so we had one show that didn't go so well
00:12:12That's putting it kindly
00:12:13It was more like a train wreck
00:12:14That was a long time ago
00:12:16How long are you in town?
00:12:18Just a week
00:12:19Okay, so you can take Emma on the Grayson tour?
00:12:21I'm gonna try, but I'm in meetings all week, so
00:12:24Whoa
00:12:24You've come all the way to Memphis
00:12:26And you're not gonna let her take a peek inside the mansion
00:12:28When it's decorated for Christmas?
00:12:31You know what?
00:12:32I think I can pull a few strings
00:12:34If you can do it tomorrow, early
00:12:358 a.m.
00:12:37Seriously?
00:12:38I'll get it done
00:12:39Alright
00:12:40Mom, hurry up!
00:12:41Hey girls, wait up!
00:12:42Okay
00:12:42Brings you back to the guest house
00:12:44Back in the front
00:12:46Guest house?
00:12:54You never would have guessed it
00:12:55Thanks again for walking us back
00:12:58Pleasure
00:12:58Cat's to wrangle
00:13:02Never ends
00:13:03Okay, so we're gonna meet in the lobby tomorrow at 8 a.m.
00:13:05And you
00:13:06I promise you're gonna get your mom to play a song
00:13:09Uh-huh
00:13:10Naughty list
00:13:14Same old Clay
00:13:17I'd say he hadn't changed a bit
00:13:19Clay could always make me smile
00:13:21Alright, we gotta go
00:13:24Okay
00:13:24Bye
00:13:25Oh, so you'll drop Emma off in the morning?
00:13:28Yeah, on my way into town
00:13:29Okay
00:13:30So great to see you, Sal
00:13:31I'm so glad I have you home for Christmas
00:13:33Bye, honey
00:13:35Bye
00:13:35Bye
00:13:36Come on
00:13:38Come on
00:13:39My goodness
00:13:43Wow
00:13:44You're gonna say that again
00:13:46Merry Christmas
00:13:48Hi
00:13:49Merry Christmas
00:13:50Welcome to the guest house at Graceland
00:13:52I'm Kathy
00:13:53And I'll be your concierge while you're here
00:13:55I'm Laurel Cooper
00:13:56And this is my daughter Emma
00:13:57What's a concierge, Mommy?
00:13:58It's someone who makes sure you have everything you need while you're here
00:14:02Emma, are you looking forward to Christmas?
00:14:07She's a little sad to be away from home over Christmas
00:14:09Wants to make sure Santa can still find her
00:14:12Are you kidding?
00:14:14Santa knows this hotel like the back of his mitten
00:14:16Hey, I think we need some Christmas cookies here, Spat
00:14:19I'll go talk to the elves in the kitchen and see what we can do about that, okay?
00:14:23You have elves in the kitchen?
00:14:25Of course
00:14:26All around
00:14:27You just have to know where to look
00:14:29Y'all make yourselves at home, I'll be right back
00:14:33Look at that tree and the beautiful
00:14:36It's so big
00:14:37No elves in here, Mom
00:14:41Keep looking, honey
00:14:43It's so cool we have our own piano
00:14:47It's really a beautiful room
00:14:49But
00:14:50Still missing something
00:14:52To remind you of home?
00:14:56Oh, yeah
00:14:56We can't forget those
00:14:58Right
00:14:58The cookies are here!
00:15:01Just a couple of those, almost bedtime
00:15:02Hello
00:15:07Hello
00:15:08Hello
00:15:08Hello
00:15:09Hello
00:15:09Hi
00:15:10This just arrived for you, ma'am
00:15:12Thank you
00:15:13You ladies have a good evening
00:15:15Merry Christmas
00:15:15Merry Christmas
00:15:16Thank you, sir
00:15:17Merry Christmas, bye!
00:15:18Oh, my God
00:15:19Oh, my God
00:15:20What in the world?
00:15:20What in the world?
00:15:21A guitar?
00:15:22Who's it for, Mommy?
00:15:24Actually, it's for you
00:15:25For me?
00:15:26Let's see
00:15:27Dear Emma
00:15:29Ten years ago
00:15:31Your mom left this behind
00:15:34Maybe she'll even play you a song
00:15:37This is better than cookies
00:15:40Do you really know how to play?
00:15:42Yeah, but not as well as I'm being played
00:15:43Can you play me something?
00:15:45One short bedtime song?
00:15:47All right
00:15:47Joy to the world
00:15:58The Lord is come
00:16:02And now
00:16:04It's time
00:16:05For bed
00:16:08All right
00:16:12Good night, baby
00:16:12Mmm
00:16:13Clay was right, though
00:16:20He played a song
00:16:22Good night
00:16:24Good night, Mommy
00:16:25Honey, you almost ready?
00:16:42Just brushing my teeth
00:16:43Hello
00:16:49Good morning
00:16:51How's the sweet?
00:16:52It's stunning, actually
00:16:53Strangest thing, though
00:16:55Someone delivered a guitar to our room
00:16:57And yes, I played a song
00:16:59Ha
00:17:00I knew you would
00:17:01So, we're almost ready
00:17:02Are you in the lobby?
00:17:04Uh, no
00:17:04No, in the restaurant, actually
00:17:06One of my acts just dropped out of the concert
00:17:08So I'm a little bit in crisis, though
00:17:10Ah, unpredictability
00:17:11Another thing I don't miss about the music business
00:17:14Clay, thanks for trying
00:17:15No, I was just thinking maybe we'd push the tour towards the end of the day
00:17:18Say, I don't know, around 7 o'clock
00:17:20Don't be Mr. Promises
00:17:22There are kids involved
00:17:23Think you can trust me?
00:17:25Look, I have some PR work to do at the radio studio next to the museum
00:17:28So, uh, just meet me there
00:17:30We'll be there with bells on
00:17:32All right
00:17:33See you then
00:17:34Yes, Mr. Hatcher
00:17:41I'm headed in to meet with Mr. Franklin now
00:17:43And I will call you as soon as we're through
00:17:45Bye
00:17:45Oh, I'm sorry
00:17:52Sorry
00:17:54A little Christmas help, if you please, young lady
00:17:56Of course
00:17:57Thank you
00:17:57Sir
00:17:58Is there something I can help you with, miss?
00:18:01If you could point me to Mr. Franklin, then I'll be on my way
00:18:04Certainly
00:18:05Because that's me
00:18:08Mr. Franklin
00:18:09You're Mr. Franklin, the company president?
00:18:12One and the same
00:18:12You must be from Chicago Financial
00:18:14Yes, sir
00:18:15I'm Laurel Cooper
00:18:16And I'm William Franklin
00:18:17I'm delighted to meet you
00:18:18My pleasure
00:18:19This is a lovely Christmas display you have here
00:18:22Well, thank you
00:18:22Since the cypress trees I logo, we tend to do Christmas big around here
00:18:26Though my wife drew the line at Live Reindeer
00:18:28We've even been giving out snowman piggy banks for Christmas
00:18:32Oh, how cute
00:18:33You have kids?
00:18:35Yes, sir, I do
00:18:35A daughter
00:18:36Here you go
00:18:37She will love it
00:18:38Thank you so much
00:18:39What next?
00:18:40Christmas stockings instead of safe deposit boxes
00:18:43You just may have an idea there
00:18:45So, this is our main branch
00:18:47Though there are three others in the Memphis area
00:18:49It's just sad letting go of the reins
00:18:52I need a way to make sure that all this continues
00:18:55For our employees and bank family
00:18:57I understand
00:18:58Well, Chicago Financial would make a great partner
00:19:01Yes, of course
00:19:02But I need to be sure that when I pass on those reins
00:19:05The sleigh is in good hands
00:19:06I understand
00:19:07I brought the formal proposal down for you to look at
00:19:10Great
00:19:10Please, have a seat
00:19:11Thank you
00:19:16Perfect
00:19:17Now, Laurel, I'll be honest with you
00:19:20I'm a little wary about being gobbled up by a big corporation
00:19:24We're all about family looking after each other down here
00:19:27Well, that is the Memphis spirit
00:19:29You sound like a local
00:19:30Are you from Memphis?
00:19:32I am, born and raised, sir
00:19:33Okay, best barbecue here in Memphis?
00:19:36Rendezvous, of course
00:19:37Brisket and pork ribs?
00:19:38Slaw on the side
00:19:39Exactly
00:19:40Best Christmas decorations in town
00:19:43Most people say Starry Nights
00:19:45Or the Enchanted Forest at the Pink Palace
00:19:48But Graceland has always been my personal favorite
00:19:51Outstanding
00:19:52Now, forgive all the questions
00:19:53But we do like to get to know the folks we do business with
00:19:56So you have any plans for Christmas fun this week?
00:19:58Well, just working on this deal, 100%
00:20:00How about this?
00:20:02I'll look over the proposal tomorrow
00:20:03And then maybe you can join us Wednesday
00:20:05We're having a Christmas gathering at company headquarters
00:20:08It'll be a great way for you to meet the rest of the bank family
00:20:11I'm sure
00:20:13And feel free to bring a small gift if you like
00:20:15We do a gift exchange
00:20:16It's a little tradition my father started years ago
00:20:19Wednesday, company headquarters
00:20:22It's a deal
00:20:23Outstanding
00:20:25Fact of it is, Christmas was Elvis' favorite time of year
00:20:29So Clay, since you're heading up this year's Christmas concert at Graceland
00:20:32What can fans expect?
00:20:33Argo fans can expect an amazing lap
00:20:35We have everyone from major superstars to
00:20:38With Graceland Mansion decked out in Christmas lights
00:20:42It should be an amazing event
00:20:43Well, it sounds like a Christmas celebration
00:20:45The king of rock and roll would approve of
00:20:47You will definitely see me there
00:20:49Be sure to get your tickets before they're gone
00:20:51Clay Shepard, everybody
00:20:52Argo, pleasure
00:20:53You could always break my concentration
00:20:55But now you?
00:20:57What did you do today?
00:20:58I painted Christmas plates for Santa's milk and cookies
00:21:00It's fun
00:21:01Sally sure knows her Christmas crafts
00:21:03How'd your meeting go?
00:21:05It was fun, I guess
00:21:06Mr. Franklin is quite the character
00:21:07You know, I was armed with facts and figures
00:21:10But all I wanted to talk about was barbecue
00:21:12My kind of guy
00:21:13How's your family?
00:21:16Good
00:21:16Folks who retired the Smokies
00:21:17And have a sister on each coast
00:21:19Well, they must be proud of you
00:21:21Seems like you're doing well for yourself
00:21:22Hit a little bit of a wall in Memphis
00:21:24But if you want to move up, you gotta move on
00:21:26Really?
00:21:28The VP of Gotham Global is flying in from New York
00:21:30And they promote concerts all over the world
00:21:31So if this show goes well, they might offer me a gig
00:21:34You'd leave Memphis
00:21:36No reason for me to stay
00:21:38To see the world
00:21:39Tour with bands
00:21:40Well, it sounds like the perfect job
00:21:42You never were one to settle down
00:21:45Hmm
00:21:46Well, ladies, welcome back to Graceland
00:21:52Okay, who's ready to go inside?
00:21:58Me!
00:21:59Wait, Clay, where is everybody?
00:22:01Oh, it's just a little private tour set up
00:22:03You're kidding
00:22:05Guess Mr. Promise is delivered
00:22:08Wow
00:22:15What do you guys think?
00:22:17It's beautiful
00:22:18Mom, look at the peacocks
00:22:21I bet the North Pole isn't even this pretty
00:22:27And look
00:22:27Elvis's piano
00:22:29Wow
00:22:31Those keys could talk
00:22:33I bet they'd share some stories
00:22:35So, I mean, come on
00:22:37Just being here has got to make you miss performing a little bit
00:22:42Sure, I miss it
00:22:44When I've found a daydream, which is rare
00:22:48Sounds like you miss performing plenty
00:22:51Occasional open mic night, but
00:22:54It's not the same
00:22:55Think it's your concert crisis?
00:22:58No, I still can't find an act to fill the spot
00:23:01You and I could do it
00:23:05Funny
00:23:07Why is that funny?
00:23:10Why?
00:23:12The band that dropped out was a local favorite
00:23:13And if you forgot, you were a star in Memphis
00:23:16Mom, you were a star?
00:23:18No, honey, not really
00:23:20I bet she still sounds fantastic
00:23:21She does
00:23:23She sings in the shower all the time
00:23:25Hmm
00:23:26Now you two are gangin' up on me
00:23:28Okay, we'll stop
00:23:29For now
00:23:30I saw that
00:23:33You had fun today?
00:23:44It was great
00:23:45Mom?
00:23:47Yeah?
00:23:49Is it true that people would come to hear you and Clay sing?
00:23:52Mostly just friends tagging along to concerts
00:23:54Do you miss it?
00:23:57A little sometimes
00:23:58It's just a little dream of mine
00:24:00Then why'd you stop?
00:24:02Well, you know you have dreams
00:24:04And then you grow up
00:24:06And then you have responsibilities
00:24:08But can't you have both?
00:24:10Not always
00:24:16Sometimes you have to choose one or the other
00:24:18And my most important responsibility is being your mommy
00:24:22Alright, it's really time for bed
00:24:26I love you, baby
00:24:27I love you too, Mom
00:24:31Good night, love
00:24:31Hey, what's your hotel policy on Christmas trees?
00:24:55We can get anything?
00:25:02Even the biggest tree here?
00:25:04Well, anything that'll fit in our hotel room
00:25:06Mom
00:25:07And how does Santa get into the hotel without a chimney?
00:25:11Same way as back home
00:25:13Magic
00:25:13And then what do the reindeer do while they're here?
00:25:17They hit up the breakfast buffet
00:25:19Any more questions, little Miss Curious?
00:25:22Do you think Clay's funny?
00:25:24He has his moments, I suppose
00:25:28That's it
00:25:30That's the tree
00:25:32Not too tall
00:25:34Perfect width
00:25:36I'd say
00:25:37It's the keeper
00:25:38Look at that
00:25:40Christmas delivery
00:25:42Excuse us
00:25:43Excuse us
00:25:44Christmas delivery
00:25:46Good morning
00:25:49What are we making today?
00:25:53Birdseed ornament
00:25:54Oh, cool
00:25:54Let's go hang these up
00:25:56Come on
00:25:57Bye, Mommy
00:26:00Bye, love
00:26:00How'd the great son to our last night go?
00:26:03Clay kept trying to convince me we should try singing again while I'm here
00:26:06Why not? It's a great idea
00:26:08Oh, sorry, Sal
00:26:12I gotta run
00:26:13See you at the Christmas festival after work?
00:26:14Yeah
00:26:15Thanks again for keeping it up
00:26:16No problem
00:26:17He said he's reviewing our proposal
00:26:19And in the meantime
00:26:20He invited me to some
00:26:22Some kind of company shindig tomorrow
00:26:24Shindig?
00:26:26A company gathering
00:26:27Okay, look
00:26:28Just keep the pressure on
00:26:30One lesson I've learned
00:26:31Is that when it comes to negotiations
00:26:33You gotta keep the clock ticking
00:26:35Stay on the offensive
00:26:36Yes, sir
00:26:37Oh my goodness
00:26:55I forgot how much I love this festival, y'all
00:26:58Don't they have Christmas festivals in Chicago?
00:27:02Well, sure
00:27:03But they can never get the pecan pie quite right
00:27:05See, it's like you've had a great day today
00:27:08Especially since you found the perfect gift for Mr. Franklin
00:27:10And Sal, you're sure you have time to put your fancy touch on it?
00:27:14Absolutely
00:27:15It would be so much fun
00:27:16Hey, girls
00:27:17What did you ask Santa for?
00:27:19Mom, we cannot tell you
00:27:21Or it won't come true
00:27:23Ooh, right
00:27:24And look who's here
00:27:27Hello
00:27:27Great
00:27:28What's happening?
00:27:30How's it going?
00:27:31Quired bank?
00:27:32Not yet
00:27:33Did you find a new act yet?
00:27:34Not yet
00:27:35You know anyone?
00:27:36Nope
00:27:36We'll let you two catch up
00:27:39Are you girls ready to go Christmas shopping?
00:27:41I am
00:27:41Well, I can come with y'all
00:27:43No, Mom
00:27:44I'm sorry
00:27:45I can't
00:27:45Because we're shopping for your present
00:27:48Ooh
00:27:49Well, in that case
00:27:50We'll drop Emma off at the hotel in a couple of hours
00:27:52Y'all have fun
00:27:53Bye, Mom
00:27:54Bye, honey
00:27:55Need some cocoa?
00:27:58Let's do it
00:27:59Cheers
00:28:00My mom always loved this festival
00:28:03Used to bring me here every year
00:28:05She was the best
00:28:06She'd be so happy we're back
00:28:09You know your mom was your biggest fan
00:28:11Laurel, I gotta tell you
00:28:14It's not a crime to share your voice
00:28:16You working at a bank is like
00:28:18Da Vinci being an accountant
00:28:20And that's no offense to bankers or accountants
00:28:23Well, you always did believe in me more than I did
00:28:25Rightfully so
00:28:26I mean, I almost had a record here
00:28:28Almost
00:28:29Success was always around the corner
00:28:32And the corner after that
00:28:33And the corner after that
00:28:34And the corner after that
00:28:35Before long you realize you're just running in circles
00:28:37Or you realize that you have to come back to where you started from
00:28:42To find those dreams
00:28:43That looks good
00:28:44You know what I just realized
00:28:46Is that I never properly thanked you for the guitar
00:28:51Or the tour
00:28:55So if you ever need any banking advice
00:28:57You just let me know
00:28:59My pleasure
00:29:00Because you know
00:29:01My mama did not raise me to be
00:29:03Elfish
00:29:05You don't come to think about it
00:29:09There is something you can help me with
00:29:11What's that?
00:29:14Clay, what are we doing here?
00:29:17You'll see
00:29:18Enough privacy for you
00:29:20What is this?
00:29:21Your personal clubhouse?
00:29:25Give it a try
00:29:26You're kidding, really?
00:29:29Oh my gosh
00:29:30It's beautiful
00:29:42Elvis bought this in 1974
00:29:46To replace the gold one
00:29:48That he gave to his Aunt Nash
00:29:49Give it a shot
00:29:51Hey
00:29:54Here it goes
00:29:58You were right about one thing
00:30:19What's that?
00:30:21We work great together
00:30:23As a duo or a couple?
00:30:28Maybe a little bit of both
00:30:29What do you think happened?
00:30:32What do you mean?
00:30:35With us
00:30:35I really did love being out on the road
00:30:40And living out of the suitcase and all
00:30:43But
00:30:43After my mom passed away
00:30:46I just
00:30:47I realized I needed a break
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:50You know we can't remake the past
00:30:54But I think about it on a good note
00:30:57Silent night
00:31:13Holy night
00:31:17All is calm
00:31:22All is bright
00:31:27Round young virgin
00:31:32Mother and child
00:31:35Holy infant
00:31:40So tender and mild
00:31:45Sleep in heavenly peace
00:31:50Sleep in heavenly peace
00:31:54Sleep in heavenly peace
00:32:02You know I had an act
00:32:16Drop out of the
00:32:17Christmas concert
00:32:18And?
00:32:23I still think it should be us
00:32:25You're crazy
00:32:26I can't possibly
00:32:28Prepare a song by the weekend
00:32:30Yeah well
00:32:31You can't
00:32:32We can
00:32:34If I agree
00:32:36Will it get you to stop talking?
00:32:39Maybe
00:32:40Fine I'll think about it
00:32:43I'll take a think about it over a know any day
00:32:47You're crazy
00:32:51Clay Shepard
00:32:58The hardest working man in music
00:33:00Becca
00:33:00Thank you for meeting me so early
00:33:02It's been a crazy morning already
00:33:04When did you get in from New York?
00:33:05Last night
00:33:06Looking forward to the Christmas concert this week
00:33:08You know it should be great
00:33:09I wish I could control the weather
00:33:11But it looks like we have a winter storm coming our way
00:33:13So
00:33:13Well from what I've heard
00:33:15You can handle anything
00:33:15Likewise
00:33:16I understand you threw your hat in the ring for that job opening of ours
00:33:19I think you'd be perfect for it
00:33:21Thank you
00:33:22Um
00:33:22Yes
00:33:23That would be an amazing opportunity
00:33:25We have a lot of resources
00:33:27Imagine not having to manage everything on your own
00:33:29That certainly would have its advantages
00:33:32Well
00:33:33A few of the execs will be in town for the show on Saturday
00:33:35I told them to expect great things
00:33:37Absolutely
00:33:46Come on inside
00:33:47Thank you
00:33:48I wasn't sure if I had the right address
00:33:50I thought we were meeting at the company headquarters
00:33:52Well exactly
00:33:53Which also happens to be my home
00:33:55Oh
00:33:55Now I'd like you to meet my wife Glyndall
00:33:58Hi Laurel
00:33:59Oh it's so nice to meet you
00:34:00Pleasure
00:34:01Welcome
00:34:01Your home is so lovely
00:34:03Oh thank you very much dear
00:34:05Well listen let me take those remarks
00:34:06Oh thank you
00:34:07Sure
00:34:07You're welcome
00:34:08And I'll have you coat
00:34:08Thank you
00:34:09Because I want you to meet everybody
00:34:11Yes
00:34:11So did you have a chance to look over the latest proposal?
00:34:13I did
00:34:14And it is very generous
00:34:16But I flagged some of the reducing redundancies language
00:34:20Well you know in these acquisitions
00:34:22There's always some duplications of jobs
00:34:24So it's about finding ways to streamline things a bit
00:34:27True
00:34:27But there is a larger family I feel an obligation to
00:34:30I have to know that our employees will be protected
00:34:33Well I'm sure we can put your mind at ease
00:34:36I'll try to find ways to cut your operating costs
00:34:39We can discuss business later
00:34:40But now it's time
00:34:42For what?
00:34:43How good are you at pin the nose on the reindeer?
00:34:46How good are you at pin the nose on the reindeer?
00:35:13Okay now I want you to take this over here
00:35:18Would you make sure that that gets to Miss Laurel?
00:35:21The lovely lady
00:35:22That's a good idea
00:35:23Thank you
00:35:23That is so funny
00:35:28Thank you
00:35:29Laura why don't you open the nose on the reindeer wallet?
00:35:37Almost as good as a Christmas stocking safe deposit box?
00:35:40I love it
00:35:41Thank y'all
00:35:42You're very welcome
00:35:44Can I have a little something for you both?
00:35:46Oh
00:35:47Oh boy
00:35:49I can't wait to see what this is
00:35:53Oh my goodness
00:35:54Honey look
00:35:55Circa 1945
00:35:57Circa 1945
00:35:57And if I'm not mistaken
00:35:59That third building down is your bank
00:36:01Where on earth did you find that?
00:36:04Oh I still know my way around the antique stores in town
00:36:06And my friend Sally
00:36:08She restored all the colors
00:36:10That is outstanding
00:36:13Just outstanding
00:36:14Thank you
00:36:15I'm so glad you like it
00:36:17Thank you again for coming Laurel
00:36:21And Merry Christmas
00:36:22Merry Christmas
00:36:23Bye bye Laurel
00:36:24Hello
00:36:26Laurel
00:36:28I've been trying to reach you
00:36:29Yeah well the meeting just wrapped up
00:36:32And how did it go?
00:36:33Well Mr. Franklin wants to take things slow
00:36:35He just has some concerns about retaining the staff and the culture
00:36:38Oh this is starting to sound like a run around
00:36:41My guess is he's stalling
00:36:43Do you think someone else is circling?
00:36:45No I think we're just getting to know each other
00:36:47We are running out of time for that
00:36:49We've got to close this deal for our end of year earnings report
00:36:52I think it's time for me to get involved
00:36:54I want you to set up a video conference for tomorrow
00:36:56So I can walk him through the value proposition
00:36:58I'm not sure that the money is what it's all about for him sir
00:37:01Trust me
00:37:02It's always about the bottom line
00:37:04Now the key to Christmas s'mores is you've got to get your marshmallow perfectly toasted
00:37:16It's all on the wrist
00:37:18Otherwise it's all on the fire
00:37:19It looks so yummy
00:37:21Good evening ladies
00:37:22Clay
00:37:23Hi Clay
00:37:24Do you mind if I join you?
00:37:25Sure
00:37:26What are you guys doing?
00:37:28We're making Christmas s'mores
00:37:29You want to have one?
00:37:30Absolutely
00:37:31It has peppermint chocolate
00:37:32Thank you so much
00:37:34That looks fantastic
00:37:35That was so good
00:37:42Emma
00:37:43Would you like to join us?
00:37:45We're going to read the night before Christmas

00:37:48Absolutely
00:37:49Thank you Kathy
00:37:50So guitar in hand huh?
00:37:54Yes
00:37:54Thought you would have forgot about it
00:37:56Oh no no no
00:37:57No such luck
00:37:58I remember your favorite was Silent Night
00:38:03Mine was Silver Bells
00:38:05Which should we try?
00:38:10Both
00:38:10Both
00:38:12Silent Night
00:38:23Silent Night
00:38:24Holy Night

00:39:17Aw thank you baby
00:39:19I agree
00:39:19But what did you think?
00:39:23I love it
00:39:24Oh
00:39:26What I'm sitting on
00:39:27Well that was just randomly here
00:39:30My name's already in the concert program
00:39:37That was amazing
00:39:38Congratulations
00:39:39Can you please do it mommy?
00:39:41It would be the best best best Christmas present ever
00:39:44And probably the craziest thing I've ever done
00:39:47Why not?
00:39:53If I'm gonna do this
00:39:54You're gonna have to help us out with something
00:39:57There
00:40:08Strung with microwave popcorn
00:40:10And the hotel sewing kit
00:40:11What'd you think?
00:40:12I think it looks great
00:40:13Yeah?
00:40:14I think this is the nicest hotel Christmas tree I've ever seen
00:40:17Do you know she is as creative?
00:40:19You did that
00:40:20Room service again?
00:40:22Get your bright cookie
00:40:23Kathy
00:40:26Come on in
00:40:28Special delivery
00:40:30Whoa
00:40:30Hey
00:40:31Hello
00:40:32My goodness
00:40:33What is all this?
00:40:35Well I always buy way too many ornaments
00:40:36And this here is no exception
00:40:38Yeah?
00:40:39I thought you could use some
00:40:40Thank you Kathy
00:40:42Thank you
00:40:42You are most welcome
00:40:43And y'all have fun decorating
00:40:44Thank you so much
00:40:45Bye
00:40:45Thank you
00:40:47Alright
00:40:48Are you gonna help me with this?
00:40:49Uh huh
00:40:49Alright let's do it
00:40:50What should we do first?
00:40:54This one
00:40:54This one?
00:40:55Alright
00:40:55I haven't decorated a tree in years
00:40:58But don't you like Christmas?
00:41:01I love Christmas
00:41:02My family used to do huge Christmases
00:41:04And your mom
00:41:05She's come to a couple of them too
00:41:06But my family moved away
00:41:09And I don't do Christmas anymore
00:41:12Why?
00:41:14Because I think Christmas is more fun
00:41:15When you have someone to share it with
00:41:16Well
00:41:17You're with us
00:41:18That's a good point
00:41:20You like that one?
00:41:22Yeah
00:41:23Awesome
00:41:23One more
00:41:25Yep
00:41:26Alright
00:41:27It's time for the lights
00:41:28Let's see it
00:41:29Alright
00:41:30Three
00:41:30Two
00:41:31Not bad
00:41:35It's so pretty
00:41:36Yeah
00:41:37Thanks so much for the help
00:41:42My pleasure
00:41:43You know
00:41:45For someone who never wanted to be tied down with family
00:41:47So you got a knack with kids
00:41:49It doesn't hurt you have an exceptional one
00:41:52Well I have a show to put together so
00:42:02Clay?
00:42:05Yeah
00:42:05Why are you so sad on us performing together again?
00:42:14Maybe I'm not ready to give up on the past
00:42:16Why'd you say yes?
00:42:20Honestly I
00:42:21Trying to raise a girl who's fearless and chases her dreams
00:42:26And yet I realize that I'm the one who's been holding back
00:42:30Maybe it's time I put myself on the line
00:42:34It's kind of ironic
00:42:37You showed up in Memphis when I'm about to say goodbye
00:42:40Mom
00:42:42Timing was never your greatest strength
00:42:44That's true
00:42:46Oh no
00:42:50Sally has a new project that fell in her lap tomorrow
00:42:53Really?
00:42:57Clay Shepard
00:42:58Did you have anything to do with this?
00:43:04She might be doing the Christmas concert posters
00:43:07What?
00:43:08She's the best designer in Memphis
00:43:10And then she found out you were doing the concert
00:43:12What's the problem?
00:43:14The problem is she's supposed to be watching the girls tomorrow
00:43:16Look I'm just juggling a few phone calls tomorrow
00:43:18So if you'd like I can watch the girls
00:43:20You said I have a knack with kids so
00:43:23Well if you think you're up for it
00:43:25I handle show business types all the time
00:43:27I can do this
00:43:28How hard would that be?
00:43:31Well you better get a good night's sleep
00:43:33You get a good night's sleep
00:43:38What?
00:43:46I got a spring in my step and a song in my heart
00:43:48I like how happy you are when you sing
00:43:50Thank you baby
00:43:51This pretty house is here, yeah?
00:43:52And big yards, dude
00:43:54Hey
00:43:55Hey
00:43:56Sal, are you sure about Clay watching the kids while you're at work?
00:43:59Sure, I just need a couple hours to finish up the posters
00:44:01And then pop out to the printers
00:44:02Yeah, but you'll be mostly in earshot in case you hear crying
00:44:05Oh, I'm sure the girls will be fine
00:44:07I meant Clay
00:44:08See you later
00:44:11Thanks, Al
00:44:12Bye, girls
00:44:13Morning
00:44:14Morning
00:44:14You sure about all this?
00:44:16No problem
00:44:17Well, gotta run
00:44:18Thanks again
00:44:19Come on, guys
00:44:25Seriously?
00:44:27I have a big meeting to get to
00:44:29All right, let's go in
00:44:30Bulldog!
00:44:33All right, I'm pulling up the presentation now
00:44:56Oops
00:44:58Sorry, my bad
00:44:59Not at all
00:45:01I'm glad to see you're having a little fun while you're in town
00:45:03I took Emma to Graceland
00:45:05We had the best time
00:45:06And I was able to catch up with some old friends, too
00:45:08Outstanding
00:45:09Oh, and by the way
00:45:10We rented the local ice rink for our employees tonight
00:45:13And everyone's welcome
00:45:14Why don't you bring your daughter and your friends?
00:45:16Oh, well, I don't know
00:45:18If you're going to help preserve our company's culture, shouldn't you experience it firsthand?
00:45:22Good point
00:45:23All right, let's see here
00:45:25Let me get this right
00:45:26There
00:45:28Showtime
00:45:29I mean, we're on
00:45:30Greetings from Chicago
00:45:33Good morning
00:45:33Glad we could all meet up to work this out
00:45:35Well, sir, if your company is as good as the emissary you sent
00:45:38I think great things are in store
00:45:40Although we do have some concerns when it comes to this eliminating redundancies
00:45:46The language is fairly vague
00:45:48And I've been looking for ways to cut costs without layoffs
00:45:51So perhaps we should discuss
00:45:53We can talk about that in a minute
00:45:54But first, Mr. Franklin
00:45:56I want to make sure you fully appreciate the value proposition here
00:46:00Of course, we're offering a very generous stock package
00:46:03But I think there are several other items you're going to find very attractive
00:46:06If we could start by looking at the operations side
00:46:08Mm-hmm
00:46:09Right
00:46:10Yeah, perfect, perfect
00:46:12So the flight should be on time as long as they avoid the snowstorm in Denver
00:46:15Right
00:46:16You know what? I'm going to call you back
00:46:19I think the snowstorm just hit
00:46:20So, as you can see, from the tax benefits alone, you said make a huge profit
00:46:28Yes, that is impressive, but I don't think we're quite reaching each other here
00:46:32Hang on, hang on, I have saved the best for last
00:46:35I haven't even touched on how our stock is projected to spike
00:46:39Perhaps Laurel can run you through some of the projections for our profits next year
00:46:43Laurel, are you with us? Laurel
00:46:46Sorry
00:46:48Yes, sir, um, next year's profits
00:46:50I have them right here
00:46:52How's it going down there?
00:47:02Great!
00:47:03Smeggy and Christmas Krispies
00:47:05By myself
00:47:07Girls, where'd you go?
00:47:10Kinda need a hand in here
00:47:11Uh, you don't want to help Santa Clay?
00:47:14Help me if I was Santa Claus
00:47:15Okay
00:47:18Clay Shepard
00:47:27Speaking
00:47:29Hi, Mr. Hatcher
00:47:34Laurel, what happened back there?
00:47:37I'm sorry, my mind just wandered for a minute
00:47:39Look, you've got to call Franklin right now and remind him this is a limited time offer
00:47:44The clock is ticking
00:47:45I really don't think pressuring him will help, sir
00:47:48But I, I will
00:47:50Laurel?
00:47:51I'm counting on you
00:47:53Merry Christmas
00:48:01Enjoy your cocoa
00:48:02Ah, hot cocoa, Stan
00:48:04What a great idea
00:48:05I think you ladies could set me up with a tall one
00:48:08I need it
00:48:09Here you go, Mommy
00:48:10Thank you, baby
00:48:11Hope you enjoy it
00:48:12Sure
00:48:12Bye
00:48:12Hey, stranger
00:48:15How'd it go?
00:48:17Frustrating
00:48:17But I survived
00:48:18More importantly, did Clay?
00:48:20He left about an hour ago, but yes, Clay survived
00:48:23Actually, the girls had a great time
00:48:26Good, good
00:48:27It's funny, I never picture Clay with kids, but
00:48:29Yeah
00:48:30I guess it figures he'd be good, given that he is one
00:48:32My boss is relentless
00:48:37Mommy, Mommy, Mommy
00:48:38We stole all our cocos
00:48:39Coming snow angels with us
00:48:41You know what?
00:48:45I'm calling back in 10
00:48:45We got some snow angels to make
00:48:47Let's go, baby
00:48:49You can blame me if you get fired
00:48:51These are old programs and photos of when Clay and I used to perform together
00:49:05This one right here was from a show at Shelby Farms
00:49:09This one here was one that your grandma and grandpa came to
00:49:13Grandma looks really pretty
00:49:15Grandma lived her life to music
00:49:18She was the reason I fell in love with singing
00:49:21She'd be so happy that we're back in Memphis for Christmas
00:49:26What's that one?
00:49:29The Orpheum Theater
00:49:30That was my last concert
00:49:33Why?
00:49:35Well, Clay told me he booked us a show
00:49:40A small club
00:49:41Come to find out
00:49:44It was a lot bigger than I expected
00:49:463,000 people in the audience
00:49:48That's a lot
00:49:50Yeah
00:49:51I got scared
00:49:52You did?
00:49:54Lost my voice
00:49:55And Clay had to finish the show by himself
00:49:57That's how I felt about the school Christmas pageant
00:50:01I didn't want all the people staring at me
00:50:03Sometimes facing our fears
00:50:05That's the way to conquer them
00:50:07That's exactly what I'm going to do on Saturday
00:50:09Ho, ho, ho
00:50:13Clay!
00:50:14My favorite elf
00:50:15What are you doing?
00:50:17Mama's showing me old pictures of when you guys performed together
00:50:20Oh, she did
00:50:21Sally kept everything
00:50:23There's even a picture in here of you and I rehearsing in your dad's workshop
00:50:26Well, speaking of rehearsing, who's up for some caroling?
00:50:29I am!
00:50:31Wait, now?
00:50:32We don't have time, Clay
00:50:33We're so scuscating, remember?
00:50:35Oh, I think we'll be okay
00:50:36Trust me
00:50:38Alright
00:50:39I don't know how you've talked me into this
00:50:42It's a gift
00:50:43Mom
00:50:43What, baby?
00:50:45Can I stand here and watch?
00:50:46Why?
00:50:47Are you a little nervous?
00:50:48It's okay
00:50:49Hey, Em, you know the no-one role is in performing?
00:50:52Picture everyone in the audience wearing elf hats
00:50:54The first Noel
00:50:58The angels did say
00:51:02Was to certain poor shepherds
00:51:06In fields as they lay
00:51:09In fields where they lay
00:51:13They'll keep in their sheep
00:51:17On a cold winter's night
00:51:20That was so deep
00:51:24Noelle, Noelle
00:51:27Noelle, Noelle
00:51:29Noelle, Noelle
00:51:31Born is the King of Israel
00:51:37Noelle, Noelle
00:51:42Noelle, Noelle
00:51:46Born is the King of Israel
00:51:52That was lovely
00:51:55Thank you
00:51:56Thank you
00:51:57And Merry Christmas
00:51:58Bye, Merry Christmas
00:52:00Merry Christmas
00:52:00That was great, honey
00:52:02Thanks, Mommy
00:52:03On to the next house
00:52:05Come on, Mommy
00:52:12Emma, be right there, honey
00:52:13I am so glad you could join us
00:52:15Well, an ice rink is a unique place to talk business
00:52:19No, it's the perfect place to talk business
00:52:21It's hardly slippery when you're already on ice
00:52:24Good point
00:52:25So tell me
00:52:27Do you like your job in Chicago?
00:52:30People are great
00:52:31Uh-huh
00:52:31Really friendly
00:52:33Uh-huh
00:52:33But you didn't answer my question
00:52:35Well, I wish I had more time to spend with my daughter, that's for sure
00:52:40Yeah
00:52:40Look, Laurel
00:52:43Your boss's offer is generous
00:52:44But he won't rule out layoffs and branch closings
00:52:47And I would happily give up some of my equity
00:52:49In exchange for some ironclad promises
00:52:51Why don't you make a list for Hatcher
00:52:54With all your must-haves and a counteroffer
00:52:56And in the meantime, I'll look for ways to cut costs in your operations
00:52:59That sounds perfect
00:53:01Now, I'm gonna try to do a little skating with my family
00:53:05Hey
00:53:12Hey
00:53:14You doing okay?
00:53:17I'm just trying to figure out how to get Franklin and Hatcher on the same page
00:53:20They're so different
00:53:21Have a good time
00:53:22Yeah
00:53:23Two instruments can always sound good together if the music's right
00:53:27Like how you put that
00:53:29You remember this rink
00:53:34Oh, you mean our first date?
00:53:39Just an excuse to hold your hand
00:53:40Too bad it was unnecessary, you were so graceful
00:53:43You always were a show-off
00:53:50Well, I could always count on you for an honest opinion
00:53:55I miss that
00:53:58Really?
00:53:59I thought that annoyed you
00:54:00Well
00:54:01No, it's funny
00:54:02The qualities you come to appreciate people
00:54:05Clay
00:54:08Thank you
00:54:10For what?
00:54:12You're pushing me to perform this week
00:54:14You know, after Mom passed away
00:54:16It was tough
00:54:18And, you know, I needed stability
00:54:20I got it
00:54:22But
00:54:22I was missing something else that
00:54:24I didn't even realize
00:54:26Make sense?
00:54:29It does make sense
00:54:29Something was missing with me, too
00:54:32Thank you for this week
00:54:35I haven't had any family around Christmas in a long time
00:54:39I missed it
00:54:41Even with that restless spirit of yours
00:54:43I'm trying to figure out how to settle down without settling
00:54:46You know, get the best of both worlds
00:54:48Hey
00:54:49We managed to combine two carols together
00:54:52I think anything's possible
00:54:54Oh my gosh
00:55:00You having fun yet?
00:55:02Oh, so much fun
00:55:03I did not expect to be doing this on a business trip
00:55:06I always wonder what it would be like to the Aetna left
00:55:11One or that, too, sometimes
00:55:16Woohoo!
00:55:20Come on, come on
00:55:21All right, you want to do a quick selfie?
00:55:24Okay
00:55:24You ready?
00:55:25Okay
00:55:25One, two
00:55:27Got it
00:55:29All right
00:55:30Come on, let's go
00:55:31Come on, let's go
00:55:31Let's go
00:55:31Look how happy she is
00:55:38Look how happy you are
00:55:41Hey, you were supposed to be sleeping
00:56:03I was looking at how pretty you sound
00:56:05Thank you, baby
00:56:06Clay said I should make sure you rehearse for the Christmas concert
00:56:10Thanks, Coach
00:56:12You need any help with the words?
00:56:13Of course
00:56:14Come here, baby
00:56:14All right
00:56:16Silent night
00:56:30Holy night
00:56:34All is calm
00:56:39All is bright
00:56:43Round young virgin
00:56:49Mother and child
00:56:52Holy infant
00:56:57So tender and mild
00:57:01Sleep in heavenly peace
00:57:11Sleep in heavenly peace
00:57:18That means you
00:57:23Good night, Molly
00:57:25Good night, love
00:57:26I love you so much
00:57:28I love you, too
00:57:29Sleep tight
00:57:30Come on
00:57:35Come on
00:57:51Come on, Laurel.
00:58:00We can use something out
00:58:01for us in these cookies.
00:58:02It sucks me
00:58:03because I could sure use
00:58:04a Christmas diversion.
00:58:06Oh, gosh.
00:58:09Hello?
00:58:10Hello?
00:58:11Laurel?
00:58:12Mr. Hatcher.
00:58:13Sorry about the noise.
00:58:15I've got Franklin's counterproposal here.
00:58:17It is ridiculous.
00:58:19There's no layoffs.
00:58:20There's no forced retirement.
00:58:21There's no reduction
00:58:22of employee benefits.
00:58:23Yeah, but he said
00:58:24he's willing to give up
00:58:25stock in return.
00:58:26If they don't play ball,
00:58:28the deal's not worth it.
00:58:29But I found other ways
00:58:30to cut costs.
00:58:31There's unused space
00:58:32in three other branches
00:58:33they could sublet out.
00:58:35And they could boost revenue
00:58:36with online banking
00:58:37to millennial customers.
00:58:38Look, these are all good ideas.
00:58:40They don't change the big picture.
00:58:41I have two more days.
00:58:43I can finesse this.
00:58:44I hope you do.
00:58:46Everything okay?
00:58:47It's like juggling glass ornaments.
00:58:49Take a break.
00:58:50Relax a little.
00:58:51Maybe you should
00:58:52go for a walk.
00:58:53There's a nice house
00:58:54across the street
00:58:55that has great Christmas lights.
00:58:57You mean the cute little house
00:58:58with the for sale sign out front?
00:58:59For sale sign?
00:59:00Does it really?
00:59:01I've always dreamed
00:59:04that we could live
00:59:05next door to each other
00:59:06one day
00:59:06and when I saw
00:59:07the for sale sign,
00:59:08my heart skipped a beat.
00:59:09I mean, just imagine
00:59:10the girls could play,
00:59:11we can alternate dinners,
00:59:13you can babysit.
00:59:14You're missing one thing.
00:59:15My job.
00:59:17You know,
00:59:17I've worked for years
00:59:18to get where I am
00:59:19in Chicago
00:59:19and I can't just
00:59:21walk away now.
00:59:22I just,
00:59:25I really hope
00:59:26this deal goes through.
00:59:28You're you.
00:59:29You'll find a way.
00:59:30Thanks, Sal.
00:59:32All right,
00:59:32I'm gonna run
00:59:33and remember,
00:59:34dinner's on me tonight.
00:59:35I'm gonna roast a turkey.
00:59:36Oh, why don't you
00:59:38drop off a care package
00:59:39for Clay?
00:59:39I just made
00:59:40too many cookies.
00:59:41Somebody's trying
00:59:42to play Christmas Cupid.
00:59:43Well, I am
00:59:44your biggest fan.
00:59:45Then why wouldn't I
00:59:46try to get the band
00:59:47back together?
00:59:49Maybe living across
00:59:50the street isn't
00:59:51a good idea.
00:59:53You are hungry.
00:59:55Starving.
00:59:56Okay.
00:59:58Guess what?
00:59:59What?
01:00:00We have a show
01:00:01in 48 hours.
01:00:03You ready?
01:00:04I'm getting there.
01:00:06Emma's been
01:00:06helping me practice.
01:00:09Bet she has.
01:00:11How about you?
01:00:11Everything okay
01:00:12on this end?
01:00:14Talent stranded
01:00:15in Denver.
01:00:1670% chance
01:00:17of a blizzard.
01:00:19And all the
01:00:19goth and music execs
01:00:20are gonna be there
01:00:21to witness it.
01:00:22So,
01:00:23if I could pull this off,
01:00:24I write my own ticket
01:00:25and if not,
01:00:26I could square one.
01:00:27Might not be a bad thing.
01:00:29What?
01:00:31Clay,
01:00:31I was thinking that
01:00:32if this deal goes through,
01:00:34then maybe I could
01:00:35ask my boss
01:00:35for a transfer
01:00:36here to Memphis.
01:00:38Seriously?
01:00:40I mean,
01:00:40if it's possible,
01:00:41you know,
01:00:42coming back here,
01:00:43it's like coming back home
01:00:44and I really feel like
01:00:46this is a place
01:00:47where Emma would be happy
01:00:48and I found
01:00:49a dream house
01:00:50for my imaginary
01:00:51dream life
01:00:52right down the street
01:00:53from Sally.
01:00:54Crazy, right?
01:00:54No.
01:00:56Not at all.
01:00:56I mean,
01:00:57the past couple days
01:00:57getting to enjoy Christmas
01:00:59with you and Emma
01:01:00back in our hometown.
01:01:02I mean,
01:01:03it's like that old saying,
01:01:04you don't really know
01:01:05what you've missed.
01:01:06Till it's gone.
01:01:07Exactly.
01:01:09It's not gone yet.
01:01:11I've been wanting
01:01:12to get back on the road
01:01:13so bad.
01:01:13I realized
01:01:16what made the road
01:01:18really great
01:01:18was you.
01:01:23There's just so much
01:01:24to figure out.
01:01:25I think sometimes
01:01:27these obstacles
01:01:27are a blessing.
01:01:29How so?
01:01:31Aspires us
01:01:31to dream bigger.
01:01:34Want to see
01:01:35the beautiful stage?
01:01:39How many people
01:01:40are going to be here again?
01:01:43You'll do fine.
01:01:46I'm back.
01:01:47Hey, honey.
01:01:48Hey, honey.
01:01:49I got the turkey
01:01:51and pine cone elves.
01:01:53Sally,
01:01:53you never cease
01:01:54to amaze.
01:01:55I know a joke.
01:01:57What do snowmen
01:01:58like to do on vacation?
01:01:59What?
01:02:00Chill out.
01:02:02Emma really came
01:02:03out of her shell
01:02:04this trip.
01:02:04Oh,
01:02:05made a new friend
01:02:05along the way.
01:02:08Let's see.
01:02:09Sorry.
01:02:10I gotta take this.
01:02:12Mr. Hatcher,
01:02:12I found a few more ways
01:02:13to streamline costs.
01:02:15Laurel,
01:02:15is there anything
01:02:16you'd like to share
01:02:16with me?
01:02:17About the deal,
01:02:18I'm sorry.
01:02:18It's just been a little
01:02:19bit more tricky
01:02:19than I imagined.
01:02:20I think I might know why.
01:02:23Helen in finance
01:02:24just noticed
01:02:24a Laurel Cooper
01:02:26on the website
01:02:26performing in the
01:02:27Graceland Christmas show.
01:02:29It wouldn't have
01:02:30to be you,
01:02:30would it?
01:02:31Um,
01:02:32I...
01:02:33It is,
01:02:35but please let me explain.
01:02:36I was just doing a favor
01:02:37for a friend.
01:02:38I see.
01:02:39Well,
01:02:40we'll discuss it tomorrow
01:02:41when you're back,
01:02:42with or without the deal.
01:02:44Tomorrow,
01:02:45but we're staying
01:02:46through Christmas.
01:02:47I don't mean to be
01:02:48the Scrooge
01:02:49to your Christmas plan.
01:02:50Sometimes the only hope
01:02:51for a deal
01:02:51is to walk away
01:02:52from the table.
01:02:53You get on a plane today,
01:02:54tomorrow at the latest,
01:02:55and get back here.
01:02:56That'll send Franklin
01:02:57a clear message
01:02:58that we mean business.
01:02:59Sir,
01:02:59I understand,
01:03:00but don't you think...
01:03:01Laurel,
01:03:02you've done
01:03:03great work for us.
01:03:05Maybe you just got
01:03:05caught up in things
01:03:07down there.
01:03:07But I still see
01:03:08a big future for you.
01:03:10And I'll see you tomorrow.
01:03:26Well,
01:03:27Laurel,
01:03:28hello.
01:03:28I wasn't sure
01:03:29dropping by was okay,
01:03:30but then I remembered
01:03:31you said that your home is...
01:03:33Company headquarters.
01:03:34That's right.
01:03:34Come on in.
01:03:37Oh, my.
01:03:39Excuse the reindeer games.
01:03:41I'm so sorry
01:03:42for intruding.
01:03:43Mr. Hatcher called,
01:03:45and he wants me
01:03:45back in Chicago tomorrow.
01:03:47Oh.
01:03:48Yeah,
01:03:48he feels that our talks
01:03:49are not advancing,
01:03:50so leaves us
01:03:51no other choice.
01:03:52Mm-hmm.
01:03:53But is there anything
01:03:55we can do
01:03:55to come to some
01:03:56sort of agreement?
01:03:57I know it's not
01:03:58everything you wanted,
01:03:59but...
01:04:00Look, Laurel,
01:04:00I know that you
01:04:02have fought hard
01:04:02to make this work,
01:04:04but there'd still be layoffs.
01:04:07And even a few
01:04:08is too many.
01:04:09Come here,
01:04:10I want to show you
01:04:10something.
01:04:15Now,
01:04:16you see that painting?
01:04:16That's the cypress tree
01:04:19my grandpa planted
01:04:20on our family farm
01:04:21over 80 years ago.
01:04:22That's how our bank
01:04:23got its name.
01:04:24It's beautiful.
01:04:25Mm-hmm.
01:04:26And every year,
01:04:27someone says we ought
01:04:27to cut it down,
01:04:28maybe use it
01:04:29for a Christmas tree.
01:04:30I prefer to see
01:04:31that tree keep growing.
01:04:33Now,
01:04:33I realize it may
01:04:34not last forever,
01:04:36but I know
01:04:37it'll be growing
01:04:37even after I'm gone.
01:04:39So your decision
01:04:44is final?
01:04:47Some things
01:04:48just don't have a price.
01:04:49Then I'll just
01:04:50make do
01:04:51until I find
01:04:51another solution.
01:04:54Well,
01:04:55I'm disappointed.
01:04:58Hmm.
01:04:59But to tell you
01:05:00the truth,
01:05:01if I were you,
01:05:03I'd do the same thing.
01:05:05You would?
01:05:06Yes, sir.
01:05:08It was such a pleasure
01:05:09to meet you.
01:05:10You too.
01:05:10Thank you so much.
01:05:12Merry Christmas.
01:05:13Merry Christmas.
01:05:13William,
01:05:14you can't forget
01:05:15this little item
01:05:16that I picked up.
01:05:17That's right.
01:05:17I almost forgot.
01:05:19Now,
01:05:19I'm sorry we can't
01:05:20send you home
01:05:20with a victory, Laurel,
01:05:21but Glenda and I
01:05:23did get you
01:05:23a little Christmas present.
01:05:24Oh,
01:05:24you shouldn't have.
01:05:25Well,
01:05:25go ahead,
01:05:26open it.
01:05:28Oh,
01:05:28barbecue sauce.
01:05:29I love it.
01:05:31All I need
01:05:31is a little slaw
01:05:32on the side.
01:05:33That's right.
01:05:34I have a little something
01:05:35for you as well.
01:05:36Well,
01:05:36you already gave us a present.
01:05:38It's just a few ideas
01:05:39to help cut costs
01:05:40and boost revenue
01:05:41so that Cypress Bank
01:05:42can continue
01:05:43to grow into the future.
01:05:47Above and beyond.
01:05:51Hey,
01:05:51it's Clay.
01:05:52You know what to do.
01:05:54Clay,
01:05:54it's Laurel again.
01:05:55I know you're busy,
01:05:56but will you please
01:05:58call me when you get this?
01:05:59It's important.
01:05:59It's important.
01:06:00It's important.
01:06:00It's important.
01:06:01It's important.
01:06:02It's important.
01:06:03It's important.
01:06:04It's important.
01:06:05Can't we just stay
01:06:11and have Christmas here?
01:06:13No.
01:06:14No, babe.
01:06:15We have to fly back tomorrow.
01:06:17We'll have a good Christmas
01:06:18in Chicago,
01:06:19I promise.
01:06:21But Laney won't be there.
01:06:23I know, baby.
01:06:24But we have to go.
01:06:26It's Mommy's work.
01:06:27And what about the Christmas concert?
01:06:34I'm afraid the show's
01:06:35going to have to go on.
01:06:37Not about us.
01:06:38Clay?
01:06:49Clay?
01:06:53ASAP as in when?
01:06:56Tomorrow.
01:06:57He thinks leaving the table
01:06:59is the only way
01:06:59to make this still happen.
01:07:00So that's it?
01:07:06Clay,
01:07:07I'm struggling
01:07:09to keep my job
01:07:10and everything I've worked for
01:07:11and performing
01:07:13in this concert
01:07:13is the last thing
01:07:14I need to do
01:07:15to convince my boss
01:07:16that I'm committed.
01:07:17It's fine.
01:07:17I just don't know
01:07:17why I expected
01:07:18anything different.
01:07:19But what's that mean?
01:07:21Does this not seem
01:07:22familiar to you at all?
01:07:24This is history
01:07:25repeating itself.
01:07:25This isn't my choice.
01:07:27Please understand.
01:07:29I do.
01:07:30I was just hoping
01:07:31it'd be different this time.
01:07:32I'm a little bit older,
01:07:33maybe even a little wiser.
01:07:35But in the end,
01:07:36it's just fooled me twice.
01:07:37That's not fair.
01:07:39I think we just,
01:07:40we both took on too much.
01:07:41At least stay for the show.
01:07:43It's Christmas Eve,
01:07:44we can go out on a great note.
01:07:45I'm sorry, I can't.
01:07:46The last flight
01:07:47we could get
01:07:47is tomorrow afternoon.
01:07:50Not sure what else
01:07:51to say then.
01:07:51You would have been great.
01:07:58We
01:07:58would have been great.
01:08:04I'm
01:08:05just do me one favor.
01:08:10Tell him I said goodbye.
01:08:14And Merry Christmas.
01:08:18Clay.
01:08:21I'll have a blue
01:08:36Christmas
01:08:39without you.
01:08:44I'll be so blue
01:08:47just thinking
01:08:49about you.
01:08:54You'll be due
01:08:56when I'm
01:08:58with your
01:09:01Christmas
01:09:02of all.
01:09:05But I
01:09:06have a blue
01:09:09blue
01:09:10Christmas
01:09:11Christmas
01:09:16You'll be
01:09:18doing
01:09:19with your
01:09:22Christmas
01:09:24of all.
01:09:27But I
01:09:28have a blue
01:09:31blue
01:09:32Christmas
01:09:32Christmas
01:09:33We're so sorry to see you go.
01:09:44It's been a pleasure having you here.
01:09:46I wish we could stay.
01:09:48Well, the sign of a good trip is when you hate for it to come to an end.
01:09:52But the way I see it, anyone who loves Christmas so much they put a Christmas tree in their room,
01:10:00well, that's my kind of guest.
01:10:01This is for you, Miss Emma.
01:10:04Go ahead, open it.
01:10:07A snow globe of Graceland.
01:10:10So you'll remember us.
01:10:13Thank you, Miss Happy.
01:10:15You're welcome.
01:10:16And when you get to Chicago, don't you forget all your friends here in Memphis.
01:10:21I won't. I promise.
01:10:24I'll have the valet pull your car up front.
01:10:27This way, please.
01:10:28All right.
01:10:29How sweet.
01:10:30Thank you, honey.
01:10:32All right. You ready?
01:10:33I guess so.
01:10:34All right. Come on.
01:10:36Oh, my gosh. What are you guys doing here?
01:10:38Landy wanted to wish you one more Merry Christmas in person before we went over to the concert.
01:10:42I'm sorry you're going.
01:10:44So am I.
01:10:45Is Chicago closer than North Pole?
01:10:47I guess so.
01:10:48Santa finds us every year, so probably.
01:10:50I'm so glad y'all came by.
01:10:52We're going to miss you, Rumi.
01:10:54I'm going to miss you, too.
01:10:57Hey.
01:10:58My Christmas promise is that it won't be yours before we see each other again.
01:11:02I'm going to hold you to that.
01:11:03I know you will.
01:11:04I'm going to miss you, too.
01:11:06Oh, all right.
01:11:08Let's go.
01:11:08Let's go.
01:11:15It'll be great to be home in Chicago for Christmas, won't it?
01:11:19You'll have your own room again.
01:11:21We'll even hang our stockings up.
01:11:23Mom.
01:11:24What?
01:11:24I just wish we could be here for Christmas.
01:11:28Me, too, Angel.
01:11:28How about a little music?
01:11:34Okay.
01:11:42I like this one.
01:11:47This was one of your grandma's favorites, too.
01:11:52Everyone has a favorite carol.
01:11:58What is it, Mommy?
01:12:04I just need to make a quick call.
01:12:18Shockley and Fields, ladies and gentlemen.
01:12:21Just a couple more friends of Elvis here to ring in Christmas Eve
01:12:24at the Graceland Christmas Concert Spectacular.
01:12:28I gotta say, Clay, this is going really well.
01:12:32The execs are going to be awfully pleased.
01:12:36Appreciate it.
01:12:37I'll catch you up with the show.
01:12:38Oh, come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant.
01:12:58Oh, come, ye, oh, come, ye to be, yeah.
01:13:06Hey, Clay, we're almost done.
01:13:08You ready to wrap it up?
01:13:11Clay?
01:13:12Hey, you with me, buddy?
01:13:15Hey, yeah, sorry.
01:13:18Stand by to wrap things up.
01:13:21Clay?
01:13:21I know the show is almost over, but we were driving
01:13:30and something just guided us back here.
01:13:34You look beautiful.
01:13:37Quick change in the car before a concert?
01:13:40Reminds me of old times.
01:13:41Maybe we're going our separate ways, but how about one last song for the road?
01:13:51Let's do this.
01:13:57Guys, thank you so much.
01:13:58I want to leave with a special thank you to the people of Graceland
01:14:01for allowing us to be here tonight for such a wonderful thing.
01:14:04But before we close the show, we have one last addition.
01:14:07Please give a warm Christmas welcome to Memphis' own Laurel Cooley.
01:14:24Mom, just remember, picture him all wearing elf hats.
01:14:30Thank you, baby.
01:14:32I believe in you.
01:14:33I love you.
01:14:34I love you, too.
01:14:48The last time I performed in front of so many people,
01:14:53it didn't end so well.
01:14:56All those folks looking at me and whatnot,
01:15:00I just kind of froze like a Christmas snowman.
01:15:05When I was a little girl,
01:15:07my parents brought me here every Christmas to Graceland.
01:15:12And now I get to be here with my own daughter tonight.
01:15:18So I'd love to share a song with y'all.
01:15:21Clay?
01:15:21Clay?
01:15:22Silent night, holy night.
01:15:34All is calm, all is bright.
01:15:40City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style.
01:15:47In the air there's a feeling of Christmas.
01:15:52Silent night, holy night.
01:15:57All is calm, all is bright.
01:16:04Round young virgin mother and child.
01:16:09Trays of straight lights, even stoplights.
01:16:12Blank and bright red and green.
01:16:15As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
01:16:22Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch.
01:16:26There's the sound of big scene.
01:16:29And above all this bustle, you'll hear
01:16:35Silver bells, silver bells, silver bells.
01:16:41Silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city.
01:16:49Ring a ring, hear the ring.
01:16:54Soon it will be Christmas day.
01:17:11What do you guys say?
01:17:12We kicked this up a notch, Memphis style.
01:17:13Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:17:22Baby, look at the crowd.
01:17:32Come on, come on.
01:17:36Come on, y'all.
01:17:37Joy.
01:17:37Here we go.
01:17:39Joy, joy, joy, joy.
01:17:44Joy to the world.
01:17:48The Lord is come.
01:17:50Let every receiver king
01:17:55Let every heart prepare him new
01:17:59In heaven and nature sing
01:18:01In the nature sing
01:18:03In heaven and nature sing
01:18:07Joy to the world
01:18:10Joy to the world
01:18:12Joy to the world
01:18:14Joy to the world
01:18:16Joy to the world
01:18:38Joy to the world
01:18:42Joy to the world
01:18:46Joy to the world
01:18:48Joy to the world
01:18:50Joy to the world
01:18:52Joy to the world
01:18:54Joy to the world
01:18:56Joy to the world
01:18:58Joy to the world
01:19:00Joy to the world
01:19:02Joy to the world
01:19:04Joy to the world
01:19:06Joy to the world
01:19:08Joy to the world
01:19:10Joy to the world
01:19:12Joy to the world
01:19:14That was great, Angel.
01:19:42I'm so proud of you.
01:19:46Laurel.
01:19:47Mr. and Mrs. Franklin, thank you all so much for being here tonight.
01:19:51Now, if there was ever evidence that you are still a local young lady, that performance just proved it.
01:19:57Well, you can't be Christmas at Graceland.
01:19:59Now, Laurel, I know that you're still planning on going back to Chicago.
01:20:04That's the plan, sir.
01:20:05I'm looking for somebody with your kind of smarts to be on our team.
01:20:09That was an incredible show.
01:20:11Somebody who fights for what they believe in and who knows that not every extra penny really is a profit.
01:20:18Do you know anyone like that?
01:20:19I think I might, sir.
01:20:21Well, I'm not sure it can match the pay of some hotshot Chicago firm.
01:20:26But we never work weekends, and we leave every day at five to be with our families.
01:20:31That's right.
01:20:32How does that sound?
01:20:35Sounds perfect to me, sir.
01:20:37Great.
01:20:37Then we'll talk about it the first of the year.
01:20:39Merry Christmas.
01:20:42Merry Christmas, Laurel.
01:20:43Welcome to the family.
01:20:49You did it.
01:20:50You pulled it off.
01:20:52I appreciate that.
01:20:53I'd say after what I saw tonight, you're shoo-in for that job in New York.
01:20:59Merry Christmas.
01:21:00Merry Christmas.
01:21:01Thanks for a great show.
01:21:02You are amazing.
01:21:12You too.
01:21:13It's just like old times.
01:21:15Hey, you like surprises, right?
01:21:20Franklin offered me a job.
01:21:23You serious?
01:21:24Yeah.
01:21:25And I'm going to take it.
01:21:29You know, it's funny.
01:21:30I was thinking about sticking around, too.
01:21:35But I thought you said you were more than ready to leave this town.
01:21:39Well, it took almost leaving to realize what's been here all along.
01:21:46Hey, the snow held off till now.
01:21:50Well, that was a good time.
01:21:53So, no New York for you?
01:21:57New York has its pluses, but...
01:22:00My heart's in minutes.
01:22:03Are you...
01:22:03You really moving back?
01:22:05Everything I want is here.
01:22:08Especially you.
01:22:08I love you.
01:22:20And I always have.
01:22:25I love you, too.
01:22:27Always will.
01:22:28You know, I might have booked us a little gig.
01:22:38I hope you don't mind.
01:22:39New York's Eve.
01:22:41Does that work for you?
01:22:43What?
01:22:45Just like old times.
01:22:49Yes, it is.
01:22:50Where did you come from?
01:22:55And black on you.
01:23:04Please pass now.
01:23:10And bear selt up.
01:23:15And bear selt up.
01:23:16And bear selt up.
01:23:17And bear selt up.
01:23:18And bear selt up.
01:23:19And bear selt up.
01:23:20Now that movie really rocked.
01:23:22Thanks for kicking off Hallmark's nine-night Thanksgiving movie event with me.
01:23:26I hope you enjoy that special peek inside Graceland.
01:23:29The event continues with all new original holiday movies and surprises all week long.
01:23:34Tomorrow night, join me on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries for the first ever Miracles of Thanksgiving movie event.
01:23:39So you think everything that happened is God-winking at me?
01:23:43A God-wink Christmas premieres tomorrow night at nine.
01:23:46See you then.
