00:00:28Music
00:00:32Oh, could you hand me that?
00:00:34This is a little more Christmas than I was expecting.
00:00:39It's just a couple snowflakes.
00:00:42Chloe, I thought I said no tree.
00:00:45You said no babe tree, and it's modern. You'll barely even notice it.
00:00:50Morning, Simon.
00:00:56Drop your other cases. You need to work exclusively on this one.
00:01:01It's going arbitration. Any questions? Ask me directly.
00:01:04Of course. I'll get right on it.
00:01:06And Zara, the Bensons are long time clients of ours. Can't afford to lose them.
00:01:13This could be your opportunity to move up the ranks. Or down.
00:01:19Great. So this will either make me or break me.
00:01:26And I'm just the thing to cheer you up.
00:01:29That wind. Yeah.
00:01:46Hey, Halloween is over?
00:01:51He's right. We look ridiculous.
00:01:56We look in character. People don't just wear costumes at Halloween.
00:02:01I'll have to get this dry cleaned before I return it. And these boots are killing me.
00:02:06How did women walk back then?
00:02:08Rich ones didn't. They had carriages.
00:02:10I could use one of those right now. Let's go back and rent one.
00:02:14Look, I know the holidays are hard for you. But you promise you try to have fun.
00:02:19Don't be such a Scrooge.
00:02:21These clothes aren't practical.
00:02:23Okay, well, I'm happy to stop her for one night as a Victorian fashion victim.
00:02:28Hi, Simon. They have. I understand. I'll have them to you as soon as possible.
00:02:35Yeah. Okay. Bye. Hey.
00:02:39You're working your life away. Come on. I don't want to miss out on any of this.
00:02:44The yummy food and getting to tour a beautiful old house. Come on.
00:02:49Victorian-era houses often had brickwork. These were painted over in a horrible green.
00:02:55Do you think you could explain the entire history of brickwork indoors? Preferably by a radiator?
00:03:03Well, you wouldn't believe it. The other side of these bricks were perfectly fine.
00:03:06So we cut them out and turned each and every one of them around and voila! Come along.
00:03:12This is just the thing to get you in the holiday spirit. The problem is...
00:03:17The holidays creep up earlier and earlier. I never feel prepared or ready. I always end up last-minute shop.
00:03:23Forget that. Get ready to leave modern times and to enter the 19th century.
00:03:28Only the century would let me go. How bad is it?
00:03:34I know a greasing dress. We'll figure it out later.
00:03:38That's a situation.
00:03:42I know a guy.
00:03:46There's warmer in here. That's nice.
00:03:50Aw.
00:03:52Whisper you, quick.
00:03:54You know what you're doing.
00:03:56Okay.
00:03:57Alice, can you please take a picture of Zara and me here?
00:04:01Of course.
00:04:02You girls would fit right into the Victorian era.
00:04:05Thank you, you.
00:04:07Sorry.
00:04:08I think it's just my allergy to the smoke.
00:04:12That's OK.
00:04:13We'll try another.
00:04:18Oh, OK.
00:04:20We're good.
00:04:21OK.
00:04:23Oh!
00:04:27Let me fix, let me fix, let me fix.
00:04:30OK, it's good, OK, it's good.
00:04:32Here we go.
00:04:34I took quite a few.
00:04:36I need to make sure the main dish is ready.
00:04:42Oh, don't eat those.
00:04:44No, they're not all bad.
00:04:45There's some good ones here.
00:04:46Look, those are terrible.
00:04:50Look at that.
00:04:51OK, OK, fine.
00:04:53I promise, no more photos.
00:04:57They look beautiful.
00:05:08This is our priceless collection of Victorian dolls.
00:05:11Aren't they gorgeous?
00:05:13Those are a bit too lifelike for me.
00:05:16They're creeping me out.
00:05:17Me too.
00:05:18I've seen way too many scary movies with creepy dolls that come to life.
00:05:21A toast to the beginning of our Dickens dinner and the holidays.
00:05:28Now, during the Victorian era, salad was reserved for the upper class because lettuce was expensive and perishable, especially during the winter months.
00:05:38Mmm.
00:05:39Thank goodness for refrigerators.
00:05:40And chilled champagne.
00:05:41Could you pass the Yorkshire pudding, please?
00:05:59I don't see any pudding, Alice.
00:06:02Oh.
00:06:03I had no idea this is what pudding looks like.
00:06:15How is it?
00:06:16It's kind of dry.
00:06:17The best and really only way to eat it is with gravy.
00:06:21Oh.
00:06:22I'm so full.
00:06:36Whoa!
00:06:37Oh!
00:06:38What?
00:06:39What happened?
00:06:40Are you OK?
00:06:41Oh.
00:06:42OK.
00:06:43Just hang in there.
00:06:44The evening's almost over.
00:06:45Come on.
00:06:46Put in your purse or something.
00:06:47If I eat another bite, I'm going to explode out of this dress.
00:06:50Oh.
00:06:51I have room for dessert.
00:06:52Especially if he's dishing it out.
00:06:54Hmm?
00:06:55These antiques are so temperamental.
00:06:58Now, last but not least, I'd like to introduce you.
00:07:01I'd like to introduce you.
00:07:02You're welcome.
00:07:03You're welcome.
00:07:04You're welcome.
00:07:05You're welcome.
00:07:06You're welcome.
00:07:07You're welcome.
00:07:08You're welcome.
00:07:09You're welcome.
00:07:10You're welcome.
00:07:11You're welcome.
00:07:12You're welcome.
00:07:13And last but not least, I'd like to introduce our host for the dessert course, Rafe Morrissey
00:07:19and his son, Nate, and his friend, Austin.
00:07:22But before they delight us with their scrumptious desserts, Rafe is going to explain a little bit
00:07:29about the history of the home.
00:07:31Oh.
00:07:32Good evening, folks.
00:07:33I apologize.
00:07:34I don't really speak in public often, so thanks for bearing with me.
00:07:37This house had belonged to my aunt and uncle.
00:07:40It's been in my family for years.
00:07:42When they passed away, their son had left it vacant.
00:07:46He eventually accepted our offer to donate it to the Historical Society.
00:07:51Well, I've been left in charge of renovating it.
00:07:54Aw, Steve.
00:07:55I'm a general contractor, but my passion is renovating old homes.
00:07:59Anyway, we had to restore the entire house because the top floor was left uninhabitable due to water damage.
00:08:06Shall we go take a look?
00:08:13Wait.
00:08:14Go slow.
00:08:15Go slow.
00:08:16Now, I'm on my feet all the time, so my favorite way to relax is to sit down with a good book.
00:08:22Most of these have been here since my aunt and uncle lived here.
00:08:25Again.
00:08:27One more thing about this house, that we have a ghost.
00:08:34Don't worry.
00:08:35He's not scary.
00:08:36It's been known to occur in these old houses.
00:08:38Yeah.
00:08:39This happens all the time, often with the lingering smell of the pipe.
00:08:43I would find a misplaced book, often about Charles Dickens, and usually in the bathroom.
00:08:48I guess our ghost enjoyed leisurely baths while reading when he was alive.
00:08:52Well, my, it's time for dessert, everybody.
00:08:57Nope.
00:08:58We need to tell the ghost to stay put so that he doesn't follow us.
00:09:01I don't believe in ghosts.
00:09:02Well, I could show them to you if you'd like.
00:09:05Come here.
00:09:06This is my ancestor, Aubrey Morrissey, the original owner.
00:09:11That's him with his wife, Eliza, and his son, Henry.
00:09:14Oh.
00:09:15They looked happy.
00:09:16Well, they used to be until Eliza died giving birth to her second child.
00:09:21Oh.
00:09:22Yeah.
00:09:23How sad.
00:09:24I didn't know Aubrey was a man's name.
00:09:26Well, it was back then.
00:09:31OMG.
00:09:33I just, I just saw the ghost.
00:09:37I took a photo.
00:09:38I thought we said no more photos.
00:09:39I lied.
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:42He's not in here.
00:09:43Because he doesn't exist.
00:09:44Or maybe he didn't want to be seen by us.
00:09:46And just you.
00:09:49I'm Chloe.
00:09:50And this is Zara.
00:09:51Don't encourage her.
00:09:52Okay.
00:09:53Well, ladies, I'm sure you can find your way back to the living room.
00:09:56I'm gonna go take care of dessert.
00:10:01Hmm?
00:10:05Can't control what you post.
00:10:07Just don't tag me.
00:10:09My clients will never take me seriously when they see me like this.
00:10:12Nobody reads your boring legal blogs.
00:10:15At least you'll get some nice with this one.
00:10:17I keep saying you need better social media presence.
00:10:28Here you go.
00:10:31Zara, I noticed you were limping.
00:10:33You okay?
00:10:34Oh.
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:36Fine.
00:10:37I'm just not cut out for Victorian times, unfortunately.
00:10:40It's been one wardrobe malfunction after another.
00:10:43Um, I could try to fix one of those for you.
00:10:47Give me your boot.
00:10:49Really?
00:10:50Come on, give me your boot.
00:10:53Let's see.
00:10:54Do you insist?
00:10:55Yeah, let's see.
00:10:56Wow.
00:10:58Look at that.
00:10:59Okay.
00:11:04In this colorful dish, we have trifle, which is fruit and sponge cake soaked in sherry and custard.
00:11:12Now, the other one is a traditional Christmas pudding, which some of you may have had before.
00:11:17Mm.
00:11:18Compliments to the chef.
00:11:21I don't think I have enough room for dessert.
00:11:24Everyone has room for dessert.
00:11:25Mm.
00:11:26I agree.
00:11:27And dessert has two S's in it, so I'm gonna have both.
00:11:32I'm not gonna eat for a week.
00:11:35Okay.
00:11:36Um.
00:11:38Uh, here.
00:11:39Allow me.
00:11:40Please.
00:11:41Oh, um, are you sure?
00:11:42Let's try it.
00:11:43Sure.
00:11:44Okay.
00:11:45That's fast.
00:11:50There you go.
00:11:51Good old superglue did the trick.
00:11:54Dad.
00:11:55Um, I'm sorry, uh, kitchen emergency.
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:04That was like your Cinderella, and he's Prince Torming.
00:12:07Except I'm not wearing glass slippers, and I don't remember superglue being part of the story.
00:12:11Mm.
00:12:12I'm gonna need more of this truffle.
00:12:14It's pronounced trifle.
00:12:31How much sherry was in that trifle?
00:12:33Well, that's, uh, my Welsh grandmother's recipe.
00:12:37I wonder if she always went for a wee nap after Christmas dinner.
00:12:50Sorry.
00:12:51Forgot my mask.
00:12:52Well, that brings us to the end of a wonderful evening, and I'd like to thank our generous
00:12:57host.
00:12:59And I hope everybody had a great night.
00:13:04Oh.
00:13:05Oh.
00:13:08I'm so sorry.
00:13:09Oh, no, no, no.
00:13:10It's okay.
00:13:11I should have secured a battery.
00:13:13Nice catch, Austin.
00:13:15Do you play baseball?
00:13:16Uh, no.
00:13:17Hockey.
00:13:18I'm goalies.
00:13:20Nate's on the team, too.
00:13:21It explains why you have quick reflexes.
00:13:24You okay?
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:26Fine.
00:13:29And the house is beautiful.
00:13:30Oh, well, it was our pleasure.
00:13:33You know, Zara likes to read, too.
00:13:36Uh, what kind of books?
00:13:37Well, as a lawyer, I really only have time to read legal briefs.
00:13:41Oh.
00:13:42So.
00:13:43I understand.
00:13:44Um, hey, uh, sorry, I only have one left.
00:13:49Oh, it's okay.
00:13:50Give it to Chloe.
00:13:51I'll get your info from her.
00:13:53Sure.
00:13:55Well, if you ever need any work done on your home, I'm your man.
00:13:58Thanks.
00:13:59And if you ever need any legal help, Zara's your girl.
00:14:03Okay.
00:14:05Thanks, Rafe.
00:14:06I'm gonna go say goodbye to Alice.
00:14:08Goodnight.
00:14:09Yes.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11I'm sorry.
00:14:12I can't take another step in these.
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:15Um, I wouldn't really make a habit of that.
00:14:18We're supposed to get a hard freeze.
00:14:21Really?
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:23Don't worry.
00:14:24I won't.
00:14:26Well, it's nice meeting you.
00:14:28Yeah.
00:14:29Goodnight.
00:14:30Goodnight.
00:14:32Oh, that is cold.
00:14:33Oh, come on, Chloe.
00:14:35Oh.
00:14:40Well, that was fun.
00:14:45One candy cane gingerbread latte with extra whip.
00:14:47Yum.
00:14:49Mmm.
00:14:50Mmm.
00:14:51I didn't think I'd get here today with these icy roads.
00:14:53Someone warned me about what we were in for, so for once, I was prepared.
00:14:56Hey, are you, uh, seeing someone?
00:14:59You know I'm not.
00:15:05Chloe?
00:15:06Can I see that place?
00:15:14Great!
00:15:15Yeah.
00:15:16Now my mom thinks I have a boyfriend I haven't told her about.
00:15:18Look, 50 people liked it.
00:15:19Well, loved it.
00:15:20Isn't that cool?
00:15:21Not cool.
00:15:22I don't know if I'm getting the wrong idea.
00:15:24Goodness, he hasn't seen it.
00:15:26He has.
00:15:28And he liked it.
00:15:29And we followed each other.
00:15:30And I tagged him.
00:15:32Why did you have to post this photo?
00:15:36Would you rather I post the one of you mid-sneeze?
00:15:41I'll put Rafe's contact info into your phone.
00:15:44Hand me the Benson file, please.
00:15:49Okay.
00:15:50We have to prove that Fresnelli remodeling was at fault for the wall coming down at the Benson residence.
00:15:54I need you to go over the contract with a fine-tooth comb.
00:15:58I got my comb, and I'm ready to fine-tooth it.
00:16:04You're welcome.
00:16:12Did you not go to lunch?
00:16:14I wanted to get through this.
00:16:15You drive me crazy, but you're the best paralegal assistant and friend.
00:16:23I know.
00:16:40Oh, no!
00:16:45What?
00:17:03Is that a pipe?
00:17:07Chloe, you have gone too far this time.
00:17:16Hi.
00:17:29Hello?
00:17:30Hi.
00:17:32Is this Rafe?
00:17:33Yes, it is.
00:17:34Hi.
00:17:35It's, uh, Zara.
00:17:37From the Victorians here.
00:17:39Hey, Trina.
00:17:40I'm not listening.
00:17:41Sorry to interrupt.
00:17:42No, no.
00:17:43It's fine.
00:17:44Good to hear from you.
00:17:45Well, you might want to wait to hear why I'm calling before you say that.
00:17:49What's going on?
00:17:50I came home to a soggy carpet.
00:17:54I can come by now if you'd like.
00:17:56Oh.
00:17:57No, you don't have to come over right now.
00:17:59Are you sure?
00:18:01Yes.
00:18:02Yes.
00:18:03No, it's too late.
00:18:04I can handle it for now if you just maybe tell me what to do.
00:18:08Okay.
00:18:09Well, first you're going to want to turn off the water main.
00:18:11Do you know where that is?
00:18:12In the furnace room.
00:18:13Okay.
00:18:14Then you're going to want to dry the carpet as much as possible.
00:18:17As soon as possible.
00:18:18Do you have a fan or some rags and towels?
00:18:21I have one fan and a few rags.
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Well, then you're going to want to soak up as much water as you can with the rags and
00:18:28just keep drying it with a fan.
00:18:29Great.
00:18:30Okay.
00:18:31Sounds, sounds good.
00:18:33Um, I'll just text you my address then.
00:18:36Sure.
00:18:37I'll see you first thing in the morning.
00:18:39See you then.
00:19:06Good morning.
00:19:07Morning.
00:19:08Come in.
00:19:09Thanks.
00:19:10Thanks so much for coming.
00:19:11Yeah, don't mention it.
00:19:12I'm glad I could help.
00:19:13Glad to see you.
00:19:15You know where the leak started?
00:19:16Yeah.
00:19:17I'm glad I could help.
00:19:18Good morning.
00:19:19Good morning.
00:19:20Morning.
00:19:21Come in.
00:19:22Thanks.
00:19:23Thanks so much for coming.
00:19:24Yeah.
00:19:25Don't mention it.
00:19:26Glad I could help.
00:19:27Glad to see you.
00:19:29You know where the leak started?
00:19:31Uh, yeah.
00:19:32Just, um, over here.
00:19:33Uh, yeah.
00:19:34Your garage is beneath this.
00:19:36I'm assuming that a pipe had burst because of the cold snap.
00:19:39Great.
00:19:40Do you think you can fix it?
00:19:41Well, I'll have to go down and take a look.
00:19:42Good.
00:19:43Bless you.
00:19:44Thanks.
00:19:45Anyways, yes.
00:19:46I can fix it.
00:19:47A question?
00:19:48Do you know where the leak started?
00:19:49Uh, yeah.
00:19:50Just, um, over here.
00:19:52Uh, yeah.
00:19:53Your garage is beneath this.
00:19:54I'm assuming that a pipe had burst because of the cold snap.
00:19:57Great.
00:19:58Yeah.
00:19:59Do you think you can fix it?
00:20:00Well, I'll have to go down and take a look.
00:20:03Bless you.

00:21:17however it ended up with me I'm sorry um please take it back
00:21:23no no you know what um you keep it really I read somewhere something about a book being
00:21:31destined to find the right person at the exact time and needed it most so
00:21:36okay thanks you know a book lives through its characters and is alive long after its author is
00:21:47aren't you the philosopher nah I just like to read maybe that book will give you a chance to
00:21:53escape the legal world maybe
00:21:55shall I show you the garage sure
00:21:59not funny Chloe
00:22:04oh Charles Dickens love stories

00:22:09because you took it from Rafe's library and hid it in my computer bag
00:22:13what no I didn't
00:22:15smells like a pipe
00:22:18Chloe you were playing matchmaker all evening
00:22:22you put the book in my bag along with this card
00:22:25it wasn't me Zara
00:22:28right
00:22:29forgot my mouth
00:22:30I did
00:22:31I swear I didn't do anything this time okay
00:22:34I was actually looking for that card yesterday and it disappeared
00:22:37uh-oh
00:22:39we forgot to tell the ghost to stay put
00:22:42he followed us well I mean you and brought the book with him
00:22:46you mean you forgot to tell the ghost to stay put
00:22:47I can't believe we're having this conversation
00:22:50enough with the ghost already
00:22:51I actually saw him
00:22:52what happened
00:22:56you're never late
00:22:57a pipe burst
00:23:00Rafe came over
00:23:01Rafe huh
00:23:02mm-hmm
00:23:03I had to find someone to fix it
00:23:05I was looking for his card and then I remembered he gave it to you
00:23:08which is when I found it
00:23:10in that book
00:23:11in my bag
00:23:12I think the ghost is the one playing the matchmaker
00:23:15there is no ghost
00:23:16okay well if the book suddenly appeared then maybe it's a magical book
00:23:19a magical book
00:23:20right
00:23:21do you at least believe it wasn't me
00:23:23fine
00:23:26but there has to be a logical explanation for how I found it
00:23:30yeah I think the book was supposed to find you
00:23:32you sound just like Rafe
00:23:34I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:36I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:37I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:38I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:39I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:40I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:41I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:42I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:43I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:44I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:45I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:46I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:47I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:48I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:49and I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:50I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:23:51I think the book was supposed to be a good one
00:24:04What in the world?
00:24:10I just need to get some rest.
00:24:14That's what this is.
00:24:19David Copperfield and the perfect love triangle.
00:24:22David's wife, flighty and childish Dora,
00:24:26was incapable of anything but painting flowers.
00:24:29Agnes is the true heroine.
00:24:31As David's best friend and moral compass,
00:24:33she warns him against the bad angels in his life.
00:24:37He loves her as a sister until the end.
00:24:40After Dora dies, David realizes Agnes is his true love.
00:24:50No two people were more equally matched than David and Agnes.
00:25:03How's it going?
00:25:20Bored out of my skull.
00:25:23If Simon asks me to make one more note to this pre-arbitration doc, I'll screen.
00:25:27I meant reading the ghost book.
00:25:28The ghost book?
00:25:31Yeah, I was reading it last night and I was a bit overtired.
00:25:34But yeah, it's old-fashioned.
00:25:36Like David Copperfield, who's infatuated with Dora,
00:25:40even though she's all wrong for him, but he marries her anyway.
00:25:42And then before she dies, she convinces him to marry Agnes,
00:25:45his true love and best friend.
00:25:47Wasn't your true love supposed to be your best friend?
00:25:50That's why I'm still single.
00:25:51You're right.
00:25:52My standards are sky high, too.
00:25:53I swear I'd never set them.
00:25:55Yes.
00:25:57Uh, Rafe's just finishing something up at the house.
00:26:00I'll just answer him.
00:26:02Speaking of high standards, I think he fits the bill.
00:26:06We're from two different worlds.
00:26:07Well, at least you're both from the world of the living.
00:26:08All right, these need to be signed before the end of the day.
00:26:14Get on it.
00:26:23Wow.
00:26:25That makes such a difference.
00:26:27The room looks so much bigger.
00:26:28Yeah, it sure does.
00:26:32Must be getting old.
00:26:33The floor seems so much further than it used to.
00:26:35You were here so early that I went to a bakery and got us breakfast.
00:26:39I hope that's okay.
00:26:41Yeah, of course.
00:26:45So, do you have any butter or jam?
00:26:50Oh, when you have the perfect croissant, like this one,
00:26:53you don't need to add anything.
00:26:55Look.
00:26:56This is pure butter heaven, mon ami.
00:26:59And this is how they eat it in France.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:10You're right.
00:27:11Perfect just the way it is.
00:27:13You have a crumb.
00:27:15Oh.
00:27:16Thanks.
00:27:18So, have you ever been to Paris?
00:27:20Once, with my high school French class.
00:27:23Now all I can remember is,
00:27:25let me guess,
00:27:28private school and then university?
00:27:31Mm-hmm.
00:27:32I never made it past Springer Pines Community College.
00:27:35There's nothing wrong with that.
00:27:36Oh, I know.
00:27:37I did get my business degree.
00:27:39I actually took an architecture class while I was there.
00:27:42Just loved old buildings.
00:27:44So that's how you got into restoring old houses?
00:27:45That's right.
00:27:46Yeah.
00:27:47But man, I would love to go to Paris one day, you know,
00:27:50see the Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph,
00:27:54the modern pyramid, that Louvre,
00:27:56and all those old, cool houses, you know,
00:27:59on El St. Louis.
00:28:01Just, ah.
00:28:03Well, maybe when Nate's done high school.
00:28:05Yeah, that would be great.
00:28:08Have you started reading the book?
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:13Just the beginning.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15More exciting than the law documents you usually read
00:28:17or just as dry?
00:28:18It's been pretty interesting, actually.
00:28:24I'm glad that Aubrey chose a bestseller for you.
00:28:27Mm-hmm.
00:28:29Ah.
00:28:30You don't believe in ghosts.
00:28:33Well.
00:28:35Look, um, I should probably finish up here.
00:28:38I'll grab all this.
00:28:40Oh, no, don't worry about that.
00:28:41I can take care of it later.
00:28:42You sure?
00:28:43It'll only take me a couple minutes to wash up.
00:28:45Yeah, I have to go into the office anyway.
00:28:47You're working on Saturdays?
00:28:49Well, you are.
00:28:52Touche.
00:28:59Text me if you need anything,
00:29:00or if anything goes wrong.
00:29:02Sure.
00:29:03I'll just be in the garage most of the day,
00:29:05painting the walls.
00:29:06I'll lock up when I leave.
00:29:07Great.
00:29:08Thanks.
00:29:09Have a great day.
00:29:10No two people were more equally matched
00:29:24than David and Agnes.
00:29:26I'll just be in the garage most of the day.
00:29:27Thanks.
00:29:28Thanks.
00:29:28Thanks.
00:29:29Thanks.
00:29:29Thanks.
00:29:30Thanks.
00:29:30Thanks.
00:29:31Thanks.
00:29:31Thanks.
00:29:32Thanks.
00:29:32Thanks.
00:29:33Thanks.
00:29:33Thanks.
00:29:34Thanks.
00:29:34Thanks.
00:29:35Thanks.
00:29:35Thanks.
00:29:36Thanks.
00:29:36Thanks.
00:29:37Thanks.
00:29:38Thanks.
00:29:39Thanks.
00:29:40Thanks.
00:29:41Thanks.
00:29:42Thanks.
00:29:43Thanks.
00:29:44Thanks.
00:29:45Thanks.
00:29:46Thanks.
00:29:47Thanks.
00:29:48Thanks.
00:29:49Thanks.
00:29:50Thanks.
00:29:51Thanks.
00:29:52Thanks.
00:29:53Thanks.
00:29:54Thanks.
00:29:55Huh.
00:30:25Hello?
00:30:30I said to leave the dishes.
00:30:32Wow, it's no biggie.
00:30:35The least I could do since you made breakfast.
00:30:38I didn't make anything but the coffee.
00:30:40The Grand Parisian Bakery did the rest.
00:30:42But anyway, I appreciate it.
00:30:45I figured the last thing you needed was to come home to a bunch of dirty dishes to wash.
00:30:49Actually, I was gonna cheat and put them in the dishwasher.
00:30:52Oh, well, how do you know that's not what I did?
00:30:56Well, thank you.
00:30:58And the floor looks beautiful.
00:31:02When should I expect your bill?
00:31:07I'll email it this week.
00:31:10Great.
00:31:11Sounds good.
00:31:14Uh...
00:31:15Good night, then.
00:31:16Right. Good night.
00:31:18I'll see you around.
00:31:20Thanks for your business.
00:31:28Those were his last words.
00:31:29Thank you for your business?
00:31:31Yeah.
00:31:32I was expecting something a little more...
00:31:35friendly.
00:31:36Okay, what did you say before that?
00:31:38See you around.
00:31:39That's more promising.
00:31:41Is it?
00:31:42See me around where?
00:31:44When?
00:31:45Shopping or, um...
00:31:48The gym.
00:31:49Ugh!
00:31:50I feel like we're back in high school and we're dissecting Brian's reply to my invitation to the Sadie Hawkins dance.
00:31:55What did he say again?
00:31:56He said no!
00:31:57Oh.
00:31:58Right.
00:31:59Why am I even wasting my time discussing this?
00:32:01We should be looking at the details of the Benson's money warranty that was included in their contract.
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:06Right.
00:32:07Cause that's so much more fascinating.
00:32:08Um...
00:32:09I can't work late on Friday.
00:32:12You know...
00:32:13You remember?
00:32:14The weekend when people forget about work.
00:32:17I'll try.
00:32:18This isn't happening.
00:32:32I'm losing my mind.
00:32:34I'm losing my mind.
00:32:36Great expectations.
00:32:38Okay, I read this one.
00:32:40Ages ago.
00:32:41And my mind is just conjuring up memories from that.
00:32:45That's what's going on.
00:32:47That has to be it.
00:32:52One of the themes is deceptive first impressions.
00:32:55Pip comes from better parents than Estella.
00:32:57But when they meet, she thinks she's above him and makes fun of his clothes.
00:33:01Her name does mean Star.
00:33:03However, it comes to light that her parents were criminals.
00:33:06There's always more to someone than we think.
00:33:08There are actually two endings to Great Expectations.
00:33:12Wait, what?
00:33:13In Dickens' original ending, Pip and Estella meet after many years.
00:33:17And he sees her for the heartless woman she is.
00:33:19And they part ways.
00:33:21However, one of his fellow writers convinced him his readers wanted a happy ending.
00:33:25So Pip returns to where they met and a changed Estella appears.
00:33:29We are led to believe that they reunite forever.
00:33:38Of course, it's a happy ending.
00:33:39This room needs something.
00:33:49Bookedathon comes from Jun psych journal.
00:33:52Prejudice opening
00:33:55Hello?
00:33:57Bselfish...
00:33:58Bselfish...
00:33:59Bselfish...
00:34:00Bselfish...
00:34:01Bselfish...
00:34:02Bselfish...
00:34:03Bselfish...
00:34:04C ،
00:34:05Gallocque...
00:34:06Grab your궁 heart.
00:34:07Hello?
00:34:08How in the world did you get here?
00:34:38Wouldn't be so dusty if I could store it in the house.
00:35:07Coming, Mom.
00:35:20Here it is.
00:35:25Oh.
00:35:26Sorry I didn't call you back last week.
00:35:30I've just been swamped at work.
00:35:32Well, you shouldn't be.
00:35:34This is the holiday season.
00:35:35It's a time to relax and have fun.
00:35:39Tell that to my boss.
00:35:41Good point.
00:35:42Could you pass the flower?
00:35:48I'm dying of curiosity.
00:35:49Who was that charming man on Chloe's post?
00:35:53Well, he's not my boyfriend.
00:35:56He was just one of the hosts at the Dickens there that Chloe dragged me to.
00:36:02That looked like a lot of fun.
00:36:04It was, actually.
00:36:06Since you broke up with Mike, I've been worrying that you might end up a poor old maid like Miss Havisham.
00:36:14Miss Havisham?
00:36:16From Great Expectations.
00:36:18I know who she is.
00:36:20I was just reading a book about it.
00:36:21Well, that is so funny.
00:36:24Hilarious, Mom.
00:36:25No, well, I went into our old bookstore and there was a new edition that had come in, so I bought it and I've been reading it, too.
00:36:33Here comes more snow.
00:36:34I know the holidays are difficult for all of us, honey, but it will be good to spend them together.
00:36:54Yeah.
00:36:55Yeah.
00:36:56It will.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:36:58Oh, dear.
00:36:59Beats me.
00:37:00I wish your dad was here to help, but, you know, he's not very handy, so...
00:37:15Call an electrician?
00:37:17Hmm.
00:37:18I'll ice the cookies at home.
00:37:21Bye, darling.
00:37:22Good luck.
00:37:23Thanks.
00:37:24This is Rafe.
00:37:25Please leave me a number and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
00:37:40Hi.
00:37:41I bet you weren't expecting to hear from me again so soon.
00:37:46I have another problem that, uh, I need help with.
00:37:51Actually, two.
00:37:52So, um, call me back?
00:37:53It's Zara, by the way.
00:37:54Hey, I think I found it.
00:37:56Mm-hmm.
00:37:57Power's back in the kitchen.
00:37:58What do you think caused the fuse to blow in the first place?
00:38:01Usually it's from excess current.
00:38:02I just turned on a mixer.
00:38:03You know, I haven't felt Aubrey's presence since the other day at dinner.
00:38:08You and Chloe and that ghost.
00:38:09Are you trying to move all this by yourself?
00:38:11I try to move all this by yourself?
00:38:12I try to, yes.
00:38:13You know, Nate and I could maybe come by on Saturday and help you move it all.
00:38:14Extra pair of hands.
00:38:15Would you?
00:38:16Yeah.
00:38:17I could bring this up for you, too.
00:38:18That old thing?
00:38:19That old thing?
00:38:20Yeah.
00:38:21I'm not a mixer.
00:38:22You know, I haven't felt Aubrey's presence since the other day at dinner.
00:38:27You and Chloe and that ghost.
00:38:31Are you trying to move all this by yourself?
00:38:35I try to, yes.
00:38:36You know, Nate and I could maybe come by on Saturday and help you move it all.
00:38:42Extra pair of hands.
00:38:43Would you?
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:45I could bring this up for you, too.
00:38:47That old thing?
00:38:48That was here when I bought the house.
00:38:49Yeah, it would look perfect in your living room.
00:38:51I could refurbish it for you.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:55Knock yourself out.
00:38:56Okay.
00:38:57Uh, sorry.
00:38:58I gotta get going.
00:38:59I'm coaching Nate's hockey team.
00:39:01Hockey?
00:39:02Cool.
00:39:03Well, it's not big time.
00:39:06Maybe you want to come and watch a practice?
00:39:08We could head over there Saturday after I'm done here.
00:39:11Oh, no.
00:39:12Um, no, thank you.
00:39:13I have plans on Saturday night.
00:39:16Okay.
00:39:18Sure.
00:39:33I'm Zara.
00:39:34I give up.
00:39:47This is beyond bizarre.
00:39:50There's nothing I can do about it.
00:39:54The Pickwick Paper's perfect Christmas.
00:40:01Try saying that ten times in a row.
00:40:05Christmas was close at hand.
00:40:07In all his bluff and hearty honesty,
00:40:09it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness.
00:40:13Poor soap is slain.
00:40:16Over the fields we go.
00:40:18Laughing all the way.
00:40:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:40:22There's a lot of filtering.
00:40:24Making spirits bright.
00:40:27What fun it is.
00:40:29What a thing.
00:40:30What a thing.
00:40:31What a thing.
00:40:32What a thing.
00:40:33What a thing.
00:40:34What a thing.
00:40:35What a thing.
00:40:36What a thing.
00:40:37What a thing.
00:40:38What a thing.
00:40:39This week flew by.
00:40:46Hey, Simon, would you like some coffee?
00:40:51Uh, no thanks.
00:40:53I was just telling Zara here about my friend.
00:40:56She's being threatened with eviction because her landlord changed the rules
00:40:59and now she can only have one cat instead of two.
00:41:01Easy solution.
00:41:03She needs to get rid of one of the cats.
00:41:05How could you ask someone to make such a heartless decision?
00:41:07She needs legal advice.
00:41:10Well, I don't think you have time for that.
00:41:14Benson arbitration hearing is a few weeks away.
00:41:29When was the last time you decorated for Christmas?
00:41:32Well, based on how much dust is on these, a very, very long time.
00:41:38This is so cool.
00:41:40Yeah, we, I, I was really into trains when I was a kid.
00:41:44My mom loved trains too.
00:41:45Really?
00:41:46It's nice you had that in common.
00:41:48Oh, look at all this.
00:41:51I am so sorry.
00:41:53Oh, it's okay.
00:41:54I'm sure I can find someone who might be able to fix it.
00:41:57Not exactly my area of expertise, but give it a try.
00:42:03And here's the locomotive.
00:42:05So we should be in business.
00:42:11So cool.
00:42:14All right, well, we're gonna get going in a few minutes, okay?
00:42:16Um, hey, do you need any help moving these?
00:42:19Oh, uh, no, thanks.
00:42:21I'm good.
00:42:22Zara, did you want to come watch our practice?
00:42:25Uh, I don't think so.
00:42:26She probably has plans.
00:42:28It's Saturdays.
00:42:29No, I just...
00:42:30We're in this huge Christmas tournament.
00:42:32I think she already said no, though.
00:42:34Um, excuse me.
00:42:35Hello?
00:42:36Oh, okay, it, it's not working at all.
00:42:40I-I know it's freezing.
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:42Okay, uh, yes, okay, I'll, I'll, I'll be there right away.
00:42:53Um, hey, um, I hate to ask this.
00:42:57Um, my client has a broken furnace and no other heating source.
00:43:01Would you mind taking Nate to his hockey practice?
00:43:04I can't miss practice.
00:43:05All you need to do is just drop him off and pick him up.
00:43:09All right.
00:43:11Yeah, thank you.
00:43:12Um, I'll send you the address.
00:43:14You sure?
00:43:15You don't mind?
00:43:16Yeah, no.
00:43:22Why isn't this thing working?
00:43:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:40Woo-hoo!
00:43:41Ah!

00:44:16coming. I know, but work's got me pretty busy. I know, but, uh, here, just in case.
00:44:38Hey, buddy, come on. Time to get up. I thought only figure skaters had to get up this early.
00:44:44Well, they got our time slot today. So, come on, please. Now.
00:44:56Hey, is your mom coming to the game tonight?
00:44:58I hope so. She might be working.
00:45:01She used to come to all our games.
00:45:02I know, but, um, she's taking on extra shifts since, uh, she and my dad separated.
00:45:14Is Austin getting ready for Fashion Week?
00:45:36Hmm?
00:45:40Dad?
00:45:41Yeah?
00:45:42Do you like Zara?
00:45:44Of course I like her.
00:45:46No, but do you, like, like her?
00:45:52She's very nice. But, like I said, she's not my girlfriend.
00:45:56Well, she could be, but you'd have to ask her out on a date first.
00:45:58You know, I don't even know if I know how to do that anymore.
00:46:05I haven't asked anyone out since your mom.
00:46:10I think mom would like her.
00:46:12She likes trains and hockey.
00:46:15I don't know about the hockey, but I think that's why you like her.
00:46:22There he is.
00:46:24It's about time.
00:46:25Come on. Get in.
00:46:32That looks nice.
00:46:33Glad we get it out of the garage.
00:46:38Oh.
00:46:43Beauty is in the details.
00:46:45Um, may I?
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:55Look, um, I don't know why, but seems like there's a broken furnace epidemic in this town, and, well, Austin's mom is not free, and I know you're busy.
00:47:16Okay.
00:47:18Just one more time.
00:47:21Great.

01:01:04I love you, too.
01:01:06Bye, darling.
01:01:07Bye.
01:01:13I can't wait for this to be over.
01:01:33I thought you liked proving people wrong.
01:01:35I do.
01:01:36In the case of Benson v. Frinelli,
01:01:39prosecution, are you ready for your opening statement?
01:01:42Yes, Madam Arbitrator.
01:01:44We're here to prove the guilt of Frinelli remodeling
01:01:47for negligent construction in the Victorian home
01:01:49of my clients, Tom and Nancy Benson.
01:01:52Removing a wall calls the Upper Florida Cave-In.
01:01:54My clients are requesting damages proportionate
01:01:56to the cost of repairs and in accordance to their warranty.
01:02:03Frinelli remodeling.
01:02:05And that's confirmed to be called.
01:02:09All right, welcome.
01:02:12Mr. Frinelli was not qualified to make that decision, regretfully.
01:02:28Madam Arbitrator, we'd like to call in our expert witness
01:02:31for the defense.
01:02:32His testimony will support Mr. Frinelli's unwillingness
01:02:35to remove the wall in the Benson's home in the first place
01:02:37and the clause in the warranty entitling him to do so.
01:02:40You may proceed.
01:02:44Uh-oh.
01:02:52Please state your name for the record.
01:02:54Uh, objection.
01:02:56The defense hasn't disclosed a change in witness.
01:02:58Overruled.
01:02:59Please state your name.
01:03:03I'm, uh, Rafe Morrissey, Your Honor.
01:03:06I'm not a judge.
01:03:08But do you swear to tell the truth,
01:03:09the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
01:03:12I do.
01:03:14Mr. Morrissey, what is your profession?
01:03:17I'm, uh, an independent contractor.
01:03:19Hmm.
01:03:20Do you know my client, Mr. Frinelli?
01:03:23I do not.
01:03:25Do you know the prosecution's clients,
01:03:27Mr. and, uh, Mrs. Benson?
01:03:30No, I don't know them either.
01:03:32Doesn't this constitute conflict of interest?
01:03:35Not unless he's an expert witness for our side.
01:03:37Hmm.
01:03:41What is your specialty in your line of work, Mr. Morrissey?
01:03:45Victorian homes.
01:03:46And you have, uh,
01:03:48several years' experience preserving them?
01:03:50I do, yes.
01:03:51Oh, what can you tell us about Victorian houses?
01:03:54Well, uh, the first rule is do no harm.
01:03:57Like the Hippocratic Oath.
01:03:58Objection.
01:03:59The witness is not a medical expert.
01:04:02Overruled.
01:04:03The witness may answer the question.
01:04:05It's, um, it's kind of like that.
01:04:07See, people who purchase Victorian homes,
01:04:10they often want to make all kinds of changes.
01:04:13But really, they should just be preserving the historical details.
01:04:16They want to take smaller rooms and make them bigger rooms
01:04:19by taking out walls, and it's a huge mistake.
01:04:23Dangerous, even.
01:04:23Hmm.
01:04:24You know, why is that?
01:04:26Because the walls are load-bearing,
01:04:27and they're absolutely necessary.
01:04:29You remove one, and on the floor above,
01:04:32it's going to start to sag.
01:04:33Or, in this case, cave in.
01:04:35Why is my mind a complete blank?
01:04:37I got this.
01:04:38Does the prosecution have any questions for the witness?
01:04:42I do.
01:04:45Mr. Morrissey, you said you're an expert in Victorian homes.
01:04:48I did, yeah.
01:04:50Do you have a degree in engineering or architecture?
01:04:56I do not.
01:04:58What do you have a degree in?
01:05:01Business.
01:05:02No further questions, man, perpetrator.
01:05:08The witness is excused.
01:05:17In the hearing of Benson v. Fresnelli remodeling,
01:05:21I find the defendant guilty.
01:05:24Oh.
01:05:31Congratulations.
01:05:33Congratulations.
01:05:45How could you do that to me?
01:05:49I did what I had to.
01:05:51I had no idea you would testify on their side.
01:05:55They called me last minute.
01:05:56Their original witness got sick.
01:05:59It was nothing personal.
01:06:02It was just my chance to prove myself.
01:06:05At my expense.
01:06:19Thanks, Simon.
01:06:21Yes, I understand.
01:06:24I'll get back to you before the end of the day.
01:06:29Did we get a promotion?
01:06:31We did.
01:06:34Congratulations.
01:06:35That's awesome.
01:06:36Is it?
01:06:38It means I'll be working even more.
01:06:41And so will you.
01:06:42Oh.
01:06:43Well, when you put it like that.
01:06:46I barely have a life as it is.
01:06:48Oh, I know.
01:06:49I manage your calendar.
01:06:49I threw myself into work after Flynn passed away because I needed an escape.
01:06:58I wasn't ready to face life without him.
01:07:01But then once Rafe came into the picture, that changed.
01:07:12Things haven't felt as heavy.
01:07:13Look what I've done.
01:07:14Look what I've done.
01:07:18He probably hates me.
01:07:20Look, I'm sure he'll come around.
01:07:23You were doing your job, Zara.
01:07:25Exactly.
01:07:27If doing my job means pushing him away,
01:07:29I need to figure something else out.
01:07:32I need to find balance.
01:07:37Well, it sounds like you found your answer.
01:07:39I need to find balance.
01:07:40I need to find balance.
01:07:41I need to find balance.
01:07:42I need to find balance.
01:07:47Come on, Zara.
01:07:49Come on.
01:07:49You've got balance.
01:07:51Go ahead.
01:07:51Come on.
01:07:52I need to find balance.
01:07:53I'm not coming back, Simon.
01:08:23Hey, hey, Nate sent me a cryptic text that didn't really make much sense, what happened?
01:08:46Um, I don't know. They're keeping me here overnight just to make sure that I don't have a concussion. But I'm fine.
01:08:56Except for that.
01:08:57Yeah, yeah. The doctor said that I don't need surgery. It's just a minor fracture.
01:09:03That's good. You should really be more careful.
01:09:07I wish. That door opening was like a freak accident.
01:09:12I don't know if I believe in that. Or coincidences anymore.
01:09:20Where's Nate?
01:09:23He said Austin's staying the night.
01:09:26Good. Um...
01:09:29Look, I... I just wanted to apologize for the way that I acted at the arbitration.
01:09:34No, no, it's... it's okay. Yeah.
01:09:37Um, didn't really think you wanted to see me again.
01:09:40I know how much your job means to you.
01:09:44Hmm. Well...
01:09:45About that...
01:09:47Um...
01:09:48I quit.
01:09:51Winning the case wasn't worth it if it meant losing you.
01:09:55And besides, now I get to spend more time with my family over the holidays, which...
01:09:59I haven't in years, because...
01:10:01I've always been trying to get ahead.
01:10:06Maybe spend more time with Nate and me.
01:10:10I'd love that.
01:10:12Yeah.
01:10:17One last chapter.
01:10:19Little Dorit.
01:10:20I haven't read that one.
01:10:22Yeah, they're right.
01:10:23I just watched the show.
01:10:25Look, um...
01:10:26I'm not...
01:10:27really used to sitting in a room doing nothing.
01:10:32Maybe we could read it together.
01:10:35Okay.
01:10:36Yeah.
01:10:38But there's...
01:10:39something I didn't tell you about this book.
01:10:44What's that?
01:10:47Wait.
01:10:48Is it?
01:10:49Us, as the main characters?
01:10:51Yes.
01:10:52You not only have a ghost in your house, but a magical book.
01:10:58I guess I can't wait to read it.
01:11:00Well, maybe I'll lend it to you one day.
01:11:02What?
01:11:03Well...
01:11:04It was my book.
01:11:05Yeah, but you said that Aubrey meant for me to keep it.
01:11:08Remember?
01:11:09Okay.
01:11:11I'm a man of my word.
01:11:14This story is about this poor girl, Amy,
01:11:16whose father is in debtor's prison.
01:11:18And she gets a job as a maid for this mean old lady.
01:11:20And she meets her son, Arthur.
01:11:22And Arthur tries to pay off her family's debts,
01:11:25but then her father finds out that he's an heir to a fortune,
01:11:27and he ends up in prison.
01:11:30And are Amy and Arthur in love?
01:11:32Of course.
01:11:33But, as always,
01:11:35they don't figure it out until the end.
01:11:37Of course.
01:11:42There's a recurrent theme of self-sacrifice
01:11:44with Arthur wanting to help Amy's father's debts,
01:11:46and by Amy giving up her inheritance
01:11:48in order to be with Arthur,
01:11:50he's lost his fortune
01:11:51and finds himself in debtor's prison.
01:11:53I have thought about you every day.
01:11:56Every hour.
01:11:58Every minute that I've been in here.
01:12:00Did I say that right?
01:12:01Yeah.
01:12:02Yeah.
01:12:03That was perfect.
01:12:04Good.
01:12:04You should get into acting.
01:12:06Yeah, sure.
01:12:09Never depart, my dearest Arthur.
01:12:13Never anymore until the last.
01:12:16I was never rich before.
01:12:17I was never proud before.
01:12:19I never was happy before.
01:12:22I'm rich in being taken by you.
01:12:25What is so funny?
01:12:26She's declaring her love for him.
01:12:29I know.
01:12:30I know.
01:12:30I'm just, uh...
01:12:32I like seeing you like this.
01:12:36Stop interrupting.
01:12:37Okay.
01:12:37I love you dearly.
01:12:41I would rather pass my life here with you
01:12:43and go out working for our bread
01:12:45than have the greatest fortune that was ever told.
01:12:49Well, I better go.
01:13:06Um, but you, uh, take care.
01:13:11Okay.
01:13:12Nice.
01:13:13Not today.
01:13:25Hey.
01:13:33Hey.
01:13:35What are you doing?
01:13:38Huge favor to ask.
01:13:39Hey, you made it.
01:13:43I wouldn't miss your tournament for the world.
01:13:45You remember Chloe?
01:13:46Yeah, of course.
01:13:47Hi.
01:13:47Hi.
01:13:48Okay, boys, listen up.
01:13:49Okay, we're still in this.
01:13:50Our offense is on point,
01:13:52and the defense is rock solid.
01:13:53So how about we get out there and win this, all right?
01:13:55What?
01:13:55I forgot the most important thing.
01:13:58What's that?
01:13:59Have fun.
01:14:02Yeah!
01:14:07I saw someone selling hot chocolate over there.
01:14:09Would you like one?
01:14:10You can't leave now.
01:14:11We've already missed the first period.
01:14:13What?
01:14:13How many periods are there?
01:14:14Three.
01:14:15Unless there's a tie,
01:14:16and then there's an extra period.
01:14:17Okay, and if they're still tied after that?
01:14:19Then it's a shootout.
01:14:21A goalie's worst nightmare.
01:14:23I'll be right back.
01:14:24And I thought football was complicated.
01:14:28Oop.
01:14:29Yes!
01:14:34Yes!
01:14:35Yes!
01:14:57Yes!
01:15:04Hello?
01:15:05Penalty?
01:15:06I know.
01:15:07He must not have seen it.
01:15:08Can't have eyes everywhere, I guess.
01:15:23Yes.
01:15:24Finally, power play for us.
01:15:27Awesome.
01:15:28Nate could be pros someday.
01:15:35Come on, guys.
01:15:38Come on.
01:15:39Come on.
01:15:40Come on.
01:15:41Come on.
01:15:51It's so better than us.
01:15:54Hey, you just scored and now we're tied.
01:15:56The game isn't over yet.
01:15:57Yeah, don't remind me.
01:15:58Stay out of your head.
01:16:00Trust yourself.
01:16:01You got this.
01:16:02You're doing good.
01:16:03You guys all are.
01:16:05You're so close.
01:16:06Yeah.
01:16:07I told them to pull out all the stops, but it looks like we might need an extra period.
01:16:15Or maybe they have what it takes to do it in three.
01:16:19There's your pep talk, Coach.
01:16:21Thanks.
01:16:22Hey, listen.
01:16:23Do you like to have dinner again?
01:16:26Maybe make up for last time?
01:16:28Yeah.
01:16:29That'd be nice.
01:16:30Good.
01:16:31Oh, okay.
01:16:32Who are we playing again?
01:16:33The Bellevue Foxes.
01:16:34Foxes and wolves.
01:16:35You gotta admit, their logos are kinda similar.
01:16:36Just focus on the colors.
01:16:37We're blue.
01:16:38Okay, got it.
01:16:39Now if only the puck was a fluorescent pink, then I could see it.
01:16:44Thanks for coming.
01:16:45I know this isn't how you expected to spend your Saturday.
01:16:47It's no worries.
01:16:48It's so much fun with you.

01:17:14Totally.

01:17:21and make a break for it when you can.
