00:00:00I'm not ready for Christmas. Don't need a gift list. Don't give a spit. How many shopping days are left this holiday season? Give me one reason. I sure believe it's ever gonna change it.
00:00:19Hey, I'm gonna be a little bit late coming into the office today. I'm looking everywhere for a taxi and they don't seem to be out this morning for some weird reason. I have to pick up my car from the mechanic on the way in so we have to bump the 9 o'clock with Ben Cameron. Are you sure? We've already cancelled on him once this week. Oh, send in one of those holiday cookie baskets. Tell him I had to get on a flight to Dallas to put out a fire. That ought to do the trick. Okay, sure. But you'd better hurry up and get in for your 10 o'clock conference call.
00:00:46Um, I should be able to make that. Call the mechanic and tell him to have my car ready to drive off the instant I get there.
00:00:52Your usual, ma'am. Okay, bye.
00:00:55Thank you very much. Thanks. Taxi? Taxi!
00:01:03Oh, hi. Are you trying to get this? Um, kind of, but if you're in a rush...
00:01:08Oh, I am in a very big rush, actually. Yeah, my sister is actually in the hospital, so I gotta get there. Lickety-split.
00:01:17Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. No, it's actually a good thing. She's having a baby, but her husband is gone, so I have to be there for moral support.
00:01:25Yeah, of course. It's all yours. Yeah? That's very nice of you. Thank you.
00:01:30Boy or girl? I'm sorry?
00:01:33Your sister. Is she having a boy or girl?
00:01:35A baby, yeah. A baby. Uh, it's a little girl. Yeah. Anna.
00:01:40That's a beautiful name.
00:01:41That's very sweet of you to say. Yes.
00:01:45Well, I should let you go. Don't want to keep your sister white.
00:01:48That's a very good point.
00:01:50Yes, thank you.
00:01:53Congratulations, Auntie.
00:01:54Oh, Miss Nolan.
00:02:23How are you enjoying your new, uh, parking space?
00:02:28Not as much as you are going to enjoy your Christmas Day basketball tickets.
00:02:32Oh, my grandson would be so excited.
00:02:34Well, he is lucky to have such an amazing grandpa.
00:02:36You get those basketball tickets for old Brumhard at the front desk yet?
00:02:45I'm trying, but Christmas games are tough.
00:02:47How's my day looking?
00:02:48Tight.
00:02:49And don't forget you have a three o'clock Christmas tree wedding at your niece's school.
00:02:52Anna.
00:02:53Hopefully you can make it to the office Christmas party later?
00:02:55Well, if I'm still standing by then.
00:02:56Oh, and forget about your lunch break.
00:02:59Mr. O'Connell just scheduled a staff meeting at one o'clock to talk about some huge client
00:03:04that he's trying to land.
00:03:06It's Graydon DuPois.
00:03:09Fashion designer?
00:03:11Good girl.
00:03:13Anything else?
00:03:13No, that'll do it.
00:03:17Hey!
00:03:18On second thought, there is something.
00:03:20Come on in.
00:03:21Close the door.
00:03:25I can't emphasize enough how important this new account would be if we can land it.
00:03:31And that's why I want to make sure that I get the best possible person from our team
00:03:35to run point on the pitch.
00:03:37And I've narrowed it down to the two biggest movers this year.
00:03:40Holly and Ted.
00:03:41Thank you so much, Mr. O'Connell.
00:03:44That's a real honor.
00:03:46So, who's the potential client?
00:03:48Oh, excuse me one second.
00:03:51Sorry.
00:03:55Hello?
00:03:57Oh.
00:03:59What a delight, Mr. DuPois.
00:04:01To what do I owe the privilege?
00:04:06Tomorrow, the symphony.
00:04:08Wow, I didn't even know they were still in session.
00:04:12Seven o'clock.
00:04:13That would be delightful.
00:04:16Do you need me to call you again?
00:04:18No, I'm good, Mr. DuPois.
00:04:22Graydon.
00:04:22I don't know why I keep doing that.
00:04:26Silly me.
00:04:27Bye.
00:04:32I am so sorry about that.
00:04:34What did I miss?
00:04:34Hey, you guys.
00:04:50I'm so, so sorry.
00:04:52I got a call from an angry client on my way over.
00:04:55I had to stop by there and smooth things over.
00:04:57I'm so sorry I missed your tree lighting ceremony.
00:05:00It's okay, Aunt Holly.
00:05:01It's really not okay.
00:05:03But I promise you, I will be at your next one.
00:05:06I have a holiday music show tomorrow night if you want to come to that.
00:05:10I'm singing a solo.
00:05:11We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:05:13Oh, I love that song.
00:05:15So, will you be there?
00:05:16I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:05:19Yes, I will be there.
00:05:20Yes, I love you, Aunt Holly.
00:05:22I love you, too, Anna.
00:05:25Hey, kiddo.
00:05:26Can you give us a minute?
00:05:28Mm-hmm.
00:05:33Tree lighting and pizza.
00:05:34How hard could that be?
00:05:36Well, it was in the middle of my work day.
00:05:39Kind of hard to get away at 3 in the afternoon.
00:05:41And if it had been 4.30, it would have been no problem.
00:05:43Your work can't be a get-out-of-jail-free card anymore.
00:05:49You make a promise, especially to Anna.
00:05:53You've got to follow through.
00:05:55Hopefully, because you want to.
00:05:57All right.
00:06:08Oh, St. Nick's got a new bag of tricks.
00:06:12He's landing on the way.
00:06:12Hello.
00:06:13Oh, hey, there you are.
00:06:15I didn't think you were going to make it.
00:06:16Oh, yeah, of course.
00:06:17I just had a little traffic on my way in.
00:06:19And what did I miss?
00:06:20No one's dancing on the table yet, so...
00:06:23Oh, there's Mr. Shaker.
00:06:25So, Ted, did your wife come?
00:06:26No, she had a conflict.
00:06:29I figured you'd bring Graydon DuPois as your date
00:06:32since you two are so close.
00:06:34You may have fooled O'Connell,
00:06:36but given your track record with the truth,
00:06:39I'm pretty confident that you and iconic fashion designers
00:06:43don't run in the same circle.
00:06:45I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:06:47DuPois and I go way back.
00:06:49We met at Fashion Week in Miami a couple of years ago.
00:06:52Now he calls me whenever he comes through Denver.
00:06:54Look, Holly.
00:06:54You're smart.
00:06:57And you're good at your job.
00:06:59But I am, too.
00:07:01So you're saying that there's no way
00:07:02I could have actually won this account because I earned it?
00:07:05No, that's just the point.
00:07:06You could.
00:07:07But now, we'll never know.
00:07:09What was that about?
00:07:15Oh, nothing.
00:07:16Definitely need a drink, though.
00:07:17Are you all set?
00:07:18Oh, no, thank you.
00:07:19I'm good.
00:07:26Here.
00:07:27Hey, it's you.
00:07:33Oh, taxi cab guy.
00:07:35Exactly.
00:07:36So why aren't you with your sister at the hospital?
00:07:38Oh, my sister.
00:07:40I mean, she just had a baby, so she needs some sleep.
00:07:44But everything went okay with the birth and all?
00:07:46Oh, absolutely.
00:07:47It was perfect.
00:07:48Beautiful, healthy baby girl.
00:07:51Anna.
00:07:52Really good memory.
00:07:53Well, I'm good with names, I guess.
00:07:56True.
00:07:57Holly.
00:07:58Okay, Holly.
00:07:59Well, it looks like we got another minute or two to kill.
00:08:01So what exactly do you do?
00:08:03I'm in advertising.
00:08:04Cool.
00:08:05You like it?
00:08:06I love it, actually.
00:08:08My job, basically, is to sell people what they want the truth to be.
00:08:14And I'm very, very good at that.
00:08:18How about you?
00:08:20Wait.
00:08:21Don't tell me.
00:08:21Um, head of a charity?
00:08:25Grade school music teacher.
00:08:27No.
00:08:28Seriously?
00:08:28Mm-hmm.
00:08:29That's really sweet.
00:08:31Good sweet or condescending sweet?
00:08:35Good sweet.
00:08:38So, has advertising always been your dream job?
00:08:47Let me put it this way.
00:08:50If things go well, I might actually get to work with Graydon Dubois.
00:08:54That's right.
00:08:55The fashion guy?
00:08:56Mm-hmm.
00:08:58Handsome, rich, trendsetting.
00:09:01Who knows?
00:09:02I may end up becoming the next Mrs. Dubois.
00:09:06Running his company alongside him.
00:09:08I'm just kidding.
00:09:14Cheers.
00:09:17Cheers.
00:09:21Would you maybe like to get together again sometime?
00:09:24Oh, I'm not really looking for anything right now.
00:09:28So, my job doesn't leave me much time for dating this time of year.
00:09:32Okay, great.
00:09:32So, how about January?
00:09:35It was nice meeting you, Drew.
00:09:37It was nice meeting you, too, Holly.
00:09:38It was nice meeting you, too, Holly.
00:09:56Yes?
00:09:58Oh, please, come in.
00:10:00Sit.
00:10:01Wow, I love what you've done in here.
00:10:03Great Christmas vibe.
00:10:05I overheard your call yesterday at the meeting with Graydon Dubois.
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:11Oh, he would fire his own mom.
00:10:14It's not like he would show me any preferential treatment.
00:10:16Well, while your personal relationship certainly doesn't hurt,
00:10:20it was more of a tiebreaker.
00:10:22Tiebreaker?
00:10:23Ted's done a lot of great work for us.
00:10:25But I'm going to give you a go at landing the Dubois account.
00:10:28And if it goes well, then a partnership's yours, too.
00:10:33Wow.
00:10:34Um, I don't know what to say.
00:10:38Oh, sure you do.
00:10:40Thank you, sir.
00:10:41I will knock this out of the park.
00:10:44All right.
00:10:48Hey, sweetie.
00:10:49Getting excited for your big show tonight?
00:10:51So excited.
00:10:53Oh, me too.
00:10:54I can't wait.
00:10:55Remember, Aunt Holly, you promised you'll make it.
00:10:59Yeah, I'll be there.
00:11:00Please just make this one, okay?
00:11:04I don't mean to intrude, even though I am.
00:11:13Where are my manners?
00:11:14My friends and enemies call me Grady DuPois.
00:11:16I know who you are.
00:11:17It's so nice to meet you, Mr. DuPois.
00:11:19I'm Holly.
00:11:20I just wanted to congratulate you on being chosen to try and land the campaign.
00:11:24And now that I've met you, to ask you to join me for an early dinner.
00:11:28I like Domini's.
00:11:306.30 tonight?
00:11:31That sounds incredible.
00:11:33Is there any chance that we could do that tomorrow night instead?
00:11:37Well, if you plan to be in Miami, then.
00:11:39Oh, tonight at 6.30, Domini's sounds perfect.
00:11:43Wunderbar.
00:11:44See you then.
00:11:51Sit.
00:11:53You're okay.
00:11:56Okay.
00:11:58Okay, we're going to save this seat for your Aunt Holly, okay?
00:12:09Everything okay, Anna?
00:12:11It's my aunt.
00:12:12She promised to be here.
00:12:14Well, if she misses this, it's her loss.
00:12:16Because you're going to be absolutely amazing tonight.
00:12:26Ladies and gentlemen, will you please take your seats?
00:12:29We are about to begin tonight's Christmas recital.
00:12:35So what you're saying is, if you can't be number one, why bother?
00:12:39In my line of work, Holly, you either leave from the front or you get buried.
00:12:44Of course.
00:12:44I completely understand that, which is why my job is to figure out what it is that's going
00:12:48to attract the consumer to your brand above all others.
00:12:52Well, innovative design.
00:12:54Right.
00:12:54But that's your job.
00:12:57Reasonable pricing.
00:12:58True.
00:12:59But if customers mainly want inexpensive clothing, they're going to just buy cheap knockoffs or
00:13:05go to discount outlets.
00:13:06So that's not really the angle you're looking for.
00:13:08Well, then, an emphasis on quality.
00:13:11We never use synthetics.
00:13:12Our fabrics are of the highest grade.
00:13:15And contrary to industry norm, strictly made in America.
00:13:21And as a Brit, I'm proud of that fact.
00:13:24That's it.
00:13:25What?
00:13:26That's it.
00:13:27Made in the USA.
00:13:30You imagine that'll sell clothes?
00:13:32Oh, absolutely.
00:13:33Given the patriotic mood in this country right now.
00:13:35Yes.
00:13:36Made in the USA.
00:13:38It's not just a slogan.
00:13:40It's the right thing to do.
00:13:42You're serious?
00:13:44Dead serious.
00:13:46Well, in that case, I'm afraid we are done with this wine.
00:13:50Garcon?
00:13:51Young man.
00:13:52Yes, sir.
00:13:54Bring us some of your finest champagne.
00:13:56With pleasure, sir.
00:14:00I like it.
00:14:02Wait, you do?
00:14:05Of course, I want to sleep on it.
00:14:07But, uh, you're on to something.
00:14:10Well, thank you very much, Mr. DuPois.
00:14:13Graydon.
00:14:14Graydon.
00:14:22And that's pretty much my story.
00:14:39Oh.
00:14:41One minor detail.
00:14:42Is there a Mr. Holly Nolan?
00:14:44Oh, no.
00:14:46I'm married to my work.
00:14:47Ah, I should have known that about you, since we're such old friends.
00:14:53Or at least I gather that's what your boss thinks.
00:14:56He does?
00:14:57That's so strange.
00:14:59Where would he have gotten an idea like that?
00:15:02Don't kid a kidder, Miss Nolan.
00:15:04Your secret's safe with me.
00:15:06Or at least say fish.
00:15:13Well, all right then.
00:15:15And our next holiday treat will be sung by fourth grader, Anna Geller.
00:15:23Anna?
00:15:23Anna?
00:15:23We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:15:43We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:15:46We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:15:48And a happy new year.
00:15:50Good tidings we bring to you and your kin.
00:15:56We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:15:59And a happy new year.
00:16:01We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:16:04We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:16:07We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:16:12And a happy new year.
00:16:17We wish you a merry Christmas.
00:16:46Mommy, can I have some money to give to Santa?
00:16:53Uh, yes, sweetie.
00:16:55Here you go.
00:17:02Ah, I'm glad you caught me.
00:17:04I just got back from feeding my reindeer.
00:17:07They need to eat at exactly 8 o'clock on the dot every night.
00:17:12Finicky little critters.
00:17:14I'm just glad you're here now.
00:17:16Oh, well, thank you, Anna.
00:17:18That's very sweet of you.
00:17:19Now, what is it you most want for Christmas?
00:17:26Hmm?
00:17:28I wish my aunt would tell the truth about everything.
00:17:31Like when she promises to be somewhere.
00:17:33Ah.
00:17:35Did she promise to be at your show, but not make it?
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:40She's not a bad person, but my mom thinks she tells too many fits.
00:17:44If she just tells the truth, then I won't get my hopes up all the time.
00:17:48Oh.
00:17:50Well.
00:17:52I'll see what I can do, sweetheart.
00:17:54Thank you, Santa.
00:17:55I can't wait till my wish comes true.
00:17:57Good night.
00:18:00Good night.
00:18:03Hey, kiddo.
00:18:04What'd you wish for?
00:18:06Is it Channing Tatum?
00:18:07I'd like Channing Tatum.
00:18:08Excuse me.
00:18:22Is my niece, Anna, still...
00:18:24Oh.
00:18:30You're the aunt who missed the concert.
00:18:33So your sister's newborn is actually a fourth grader.
00:18:38Well.
00:18:39It's okay.
00:18:41I get it.
00:18:44If it means anything, I did really have a nice time with you.
00:18:48It doesn't.
00:18:50It doesn't.
00:18:50I don't know.
00:19:20Why does such a pretty lady look so down?
00:19:26I'm not really one to share deeply personal things with strangers with white beards and red suits.
00:19:34Well, I'm not just any stranger with a white beard.
00:19:37And this isn't just any red suit.
00:19:42Okay, well, I missed my niece's concert tonight.
00:19:47I couldn't get away from work.
00:19:49You sure you couldn't get away?
00:19:52It's been nice chatting with you.
00:19:54Holly, I'm going to make sure Anna gets what she wants for Christmas.
00:20:01Anna told you what happened tonight, didn't she?
00:20:03Well, for whatever it's worth, I am going to be better with her.
00:20:09I promise.
00:20:10Oh, I know you are.
00:20:11Thank you kindly.
00:20:21I would.
00:20:44Oh, my God.
00:21:14Yes, Nolan. I told my grandson about those basketball tickets. I have never seen him so excited.
00:21:21Oh, I don't actually have those tickets. I just keep telling you I do because I don't want to lose that primo parking spot out front.
00:21:32Whoa, someone's in a hurry to get to work.
00:21:35And somebody is in a hurry to stick his nose where it doesn't belong.
00:21:37The stress of stealing the DuBois account must be getting to you. Let me know if you need any help.
00:21:48Me asking you for help would be like admitting that you deserve this account as much, if not more, than I do, which you totally do.
00:21:54Hey, is everything okay? You've been totally holed up in here all day.
00:22:10Is that a yes or a no?
00:22:12That's a no, no.
00:22:15You know what? I am not okay. I am about as far from okay as you can possibly get.
00:22:20Is there anything I can do to help?
00:22:22Do you have a doctorate in psychiatry that I don't know about?
00:22:24Uh-uh.
00:22:25Then no.
00:22:26So, I know you told me last week that we're way too busy to let me take a break before Christmas, but my grandma is super sick.
00:22:37And I just really want to spend some time with her. I would only need like two days.
00:22:41That's no problem. You can take a couple of days off because the truth is we don't really need you anyway because you mostly just do fluffy stuff.
00:22:49I am so sorry, Jordan. I totally meant that.
00:22:53Wow. Okay. Thank you.
00:23:09Hello, Anna.
00:23:14You're welcome, Santa.
00:23:18Anna?
00:23:23I can walk home with my friends.
00:23:26I know you're really mad at me right now.
00:23:29I don't blame you.
00:23:30I'm really, really sorry.
00:23:34Okay, are you going to stay mad at me like this forever?
00:23:37Because you're going to be a teenager soon,
00:23:39and then you'll be mad at everything,
00:23:41and I'll have no chance.
00:23:43That depends on how many times you're going to lie to me.
00:23:46Hey, Anna.
00:23:48All I wanted was to have you at my show.
00:23:50It was a really big deal to me.
00:23:53Well, I was with a client, and it was more important to me than your show.
00:24:02Um, oh, goodness.
00:24:04I, uh...
00:24:09I...
00:24:11Okay, listen.
00:24:13I know you don't like me very much right now,
00:24:15but I know what you do like.
00:24:20Thank you very much.
00:24:23I swear, you are the only person I know that orders triple frosting.
00:24:28I mean, aren't you afraid that there won't be any left for all the other kids?
00:24:32Like, for their birthday parties and stuff?
00:24:34No.
00:24:35You stop being funny.
00:24:36It makes it hard to stay mad at you.
00:24:38You should be mad at me.
00:24:40Which is true, but I mostly just set it to deflect and make you feel guilty for being angry at me,
00:24:44so everything would be cool between us again.
00:24:49What's up with you today?
00:24:50You're acting weird.
00:24:52I...
00:24:53I feel weird today.
00:24:55Weird how?
00:24:56Since last night.
00:24:59I...
00:25:00I just keep saying things I don't mean to say.
00:25:02Things you don't want to say?
00:25:03Well, things that are true that are in my head, but they just come out before I can stop them.
00:25:09But if they are true, then why shouldn't you say them?
00:25:13Well, I don't know how to put this, but...
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:16Adults, sometimes, just have to bend the truth a little bit to function.
00:25:22You mean like telling a fib?
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25Technically, I guess you could call it that.
00:25:28So, you used to tell fizz, but since last night, you can't do it anymore?
00:25:32Yeah.
00:25:33It sounds crazy, right?
00:25:37Remember when you promised to take me to the movies, but you had to cancel it because of a business trip to Boston?
00:25:42Mm-hmm.
00:25:43Although, actually, I was just getting my nails done because I had a meeting the next day that I thought I had to look absolutely perfect for.
00:25:49Um, wow.
00:25:50That's...
00:25:51I just did it again.
00:25:52That's exactly what I'm talking about.
00:25:55I want you to take me ice skating Saturday.
00:25:58Pick me up at 11.
00:26:00Anna.
00:26:02Are you free then?
00:26:04Uh-huh.
00:26:07No fibbing?
00:26:08No.
00:26:09I...
00:26:10Honest.
00:26:12It's a promise then.
00:26:13Awesome.
00:26:23Yeah, I must have at least 30 items here, but I've convinced myself that my time is more important than following your rules.
00:26:31Late to concerts?
00:26:33But right on time to clog up the express lane.
00:26:35Oh, uh, yeah, I'm just trying to sneak through an entire cart full of things at a checkout that's only equipped to handle a couple.
00:26:43Well, you get an A for candor.
00:26:45Which is flattering coming for you because you're a teacher.
00:26:48Oh, you're still really bothered by the whole taxi thing, aren't you?
00:26:54And you not showing up to your niece's show.
00:26:57I'm seeing a pattern here.
00:26:58Yeah, I-I completely understand, and to be honest, if I were in your shoes, I would probably be doing the same thing you're doing, looking away, pretending you can't hear anything I'm saying and pretending I'm not standing here and just basically ignoring me.
00:27:12You're something, you know that?
00:27:15Yeah, I do know that.
00:27:18Okay, I had a really good time with you the other night, and the truth is I just work really hard at my job, and I'm in the process of trying to make partner, and I don't give very much priority to dating.
00:27:33But if you would be willing, I'd really love to take you out for a coffee or something.
00:27:42I suppose I could use your help with something tonight.
00:27:46You know, just so you can make it up to me.
00:27:54Oh, I should pay her.
00:27:56You need to be more decisive. Just pick one.
00:28:04Holly, you can't rush perfection.
00:28:07Oh, come on. You are making this way too hard.
00:28:10Seriously, all you have to do is visualize what your perfect tree looks like, and then it will appear.
00:28:18This is not something you can just use a checklist for. You have to feel it.
00:28:24Very zen.
00:28:28Sorry, we're almost done.
00:28:30A beautiful young couple in love.
00:28:32There's no hurry.
00:28:36Um, we are just friends. I am helping him pick out a tree.
00:28:40Whatever you say.
00:28:42We are just friends, but actually I'm hoping to change that because I think he's really handsome.
00:28:48I can see that.
00:28:50Are you ladies talking about me?
00:28:51Yes.
00:28:52No.
00:29:01Oh, this is a fine vintage.
00:29:04Agreed. Smooth and full bodied.
00:29:06So why do I get the feeling you've done this before?
00:29:19We had an artificial tree as kids, so I can appreciate the real thing.
00:29:23So I come here every year to pick out the perfect one.
00:29:28Hm.
00:29:30My parents, my sister and I always used to come pick out a tree.
00:29:35A lot almost exactly like this one.
00:29:40Your folks live around here?
00:29:41Is that a bad topic?
00:29:47No, no, they, they passed away when I was 13.
00:29:51Car accident.
00:29:52Holly.
00:29:53Holly.
00:29:55Holly, I'm so sorry.
00:29:56That's okay.
00:29:58My sister, though, she did a remarkable job of raising me almost all by herself.
00:30:04You guys must be really close.
00:30:05We were.
00:30:06We're not as close as I'd like right now.
00:30:11So, since this is obviously a two-person job, I have to ask, did you have someone else originally lined up to help you at this time?
00:30:18I mean, before you asked me.
00:30:20You totally don't have to go there if you don't want to, but I'm more curious than you could possibly believe beneath this facade of mild indifference.
00:30:36Well, I was too excited to be able to do anything.
00:30:41I was too excited to be able to do anything when I found out my last girlfriend was seeing her German co-worker the whole time.
00:30:55Gunther.
00:30:57Yeah, they're now living in Munich together.
00:31:01It's a little jarring when you find out your whole relationship is based on a lie you never saw coming.
00:31:07Wow, that's really awful. I'm so sorry.
00:31:14But not sorry enough to wish you were still with her, because I don't.
00:31:18I'm glad you're not with her.
00:31:21Thanks, I think.
00:31:23It's better to not be in a relationship than be with someone who doesn't actually love you.
00:31:30Yeah, you're right.
00:31:37I had a really fun night.
00:31:46So I'd really like to do this again soon, because I think you're really cute and funny.
00:31:52I, I, wow, I'm, I don't know why. It just came leaking out.
00:31:59No, I'm glad it just leaked out, because I feel exactly the same way about you.
00:32:06Well, good then.
00:32:09Bye.
00:32:11Bye.
00:32:12Bye.
00:32:14Bye.
00:32:15Hi, Aunt Holly. Excited for skating this weekend?
00:32:16Don't miss it, kid sister. I'll give you a major swirly.
00:32:17Would you like all the things?
00:32:18Bye.
00:32:19Bye.
00:32:20Bye.
00:32:21Bye.
00:32:22Bye.
00:32:23Bye.
00:32:24Bye.
00:32:25Bye.
00:32:26Bye.
00:32:27Bye.
00:32:28Bye.
00:32:29Bye.
00:32:30Bye.
00:32:31Bye.
00:32:32Bye.
00:32:33Bye.
00:32:34Bye.
00:32:35Bye.
00:32:36Bye.
00:32:37Bye.
00:32:39Bye.
00:32:40Bye.
00:32:41Bye.
00:32:42Bye.
00:32:43Bye.
00:32:44Bye.
00:32:45Bye.
00:32:46Bye.
00:32:47Bye.
00:32:48Bye.
00:32:49Bye.
00:32:50Bye.
00:32:51Bye.
00:32:52Bye.
00:32:53Bye.
00:32:54Bye.
00:32:55Bye.
00:32:56Bye.
00:32:57Bye.
00:32:58Bye.
00:32:59Bye.
00:33:00Bye.
00:33:01Bye.
00:33:02Bye.
00:33:03Bye.
00:33:04Bye.
00:33:05Bye.
00:33:06Bye.
00:33:07Bye.
00:33:08Bye.
00:33:09Bye.
00:33:10Bye.
00:33:11Bye.
00:33:12Bye.
00:33:13Bye.
00:33:14Bye.
00:33:15I am so glad you're still here.
00:33:42Good evening, Harley.
00:33:44Nice to see you.
00:33:45Is there something special you want for Christmas?
00:33:48Um, control over my life again would be a nice start.
00:33:53Well, I've been told I'm a pretty good listener.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:58No, you'll never believe me.
00:34:00The guy who delivers toys to several billion children in one evening?
00:34:05Won't believe you.
00:34:06Well, it's just been a lot of weird things happening in my life right now.
00:34:16A lot of changes.
00:34:18Really strange changes, actually.
00:34:20Well, we all go through times that turn us a little upside down.
00:34:26I mean, look at me.
00:34:27Toy technology moves forward every year at warp speed, and I have to try and stay ahead of it.
00:34:33But it's how we deal with these moments, these truly challenging times that count.
00:34:41They can even make us better than we were before.
00:34:43It's just been a lot to deal with.
00:34:49Before all this happened to you, were you happy?
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:58And no.
00:34:59Ah.
00:35:01Ah.
00:35:02Then give it a little more time.
00:35:03See how it plays out.
00:35:06Maybe they'll end up being something really good, these changes of yours.
00:35:11That's very generous of you.
00:35:24My pleasure.
00:35:32That's the Graydon DuPois collection.
00:35:36I'd like to get your thoughts about my new city bag,
00:35:39which we intend to market as a made-in-the-U.S.A. answer to Louis Vuitton.
00:35:46All right, so let's pass it around the room and have each of you describe it.
00:35:52It's an intriguing fusion of form and function.
00:35:57Clean, chic, practical.
00:36:03Classic, yet cutting edge.
00:36:05Uh, timeless and handsome.
00:36:12Well, I want one.
00:36:15I'd rather not.
00:36:17Good.
00:36:18Your boss has bragged to me about your keen eye for detail.
00:36:22Let's hear it.
00:36:23Oh.
00:36:23It's a bag, and you can put things in it.
00:36:37That aspect did not escape us on the design end.
00:36:40Anything else?
00:36:41I could probably find a more stylish and useful one at the first street vendor that I walked to.
00:36:51Go on.
00:36:53And when I first saw it, I thought of my 82-year-old grandmother,
00:36:56but then it occurred to me she probably wouldn't want it either.
00:36:58You and me on site right now.
00:37:03Now, would you excuse us just for a minute?
00:37:11What was that?
00:37:12I have no idea.
00:37:13I'm serious.
00:37:13You probably cost me a $20 million deal.
00:37:16I'm going to be under some serious pressure to fire you immediately.
00:37:21Oh, Mr. DePauw, I want to apologize for Ms. Nolan's behavior.
00:37:25I assure you I'm relieving her of her duties on the campaign, and I will personally be leading it.
00:37:29No, that's a shame, because I just made up my mind.
00:37:32The campaign?
00:37:33It's yours.
00:37:35The kind of honesty and straight shooting just displayed by Ms. Nolan, Holly,
00:37:41is exactly what my company needs.
00:37:43What your boss doesn't know is that that bag actually was just bought from a street vendor before I came up here.
00:37:50I needed to know that someone had the guts to tell me.
00:37:53Oh, I'll be needing your best mock-ups for both print and TV within three days.
00:38:00A unique Christmas Eve show could well turn out to be the biggest event of your career to date.
00:38:05Let's go to work.
00:38:06I'm not ready for Christmas
00:38:12Don't need a gift list
00:38:15Don't give a spit
00:38:17How many shopping days
00:38:19I'm back this holiday season
00:38:22Give me one reason
00:38:24I should believe
00:38:26It's ever gonna change
00:38:28Why should I be married
00:38:30Every January
00:38:33I come back so very brokenhearted
00:38:37I'm not ready for Christmas
00:38:40I think I'll skip this one
00:38:43And Santa
00:38:45I will see you next year
00:38:48Miss Nolan
00:39:09There you are
00:39:11It seems someone must have finally called the police to have you towed from that illegal spot out front
00:39:17I tried to call your office, but no one answered
00:39:20A shame
00:39:22Come help me with this, Mom
00:39:31Oh, okay, okay
00:39:33Run around
00:39:34So listen, sweetheart
00:39:35You know that your Aunt Holly might not make it
00:39:38Because sometimes things come up for her, right?
00:39:40She promised me
00:39:41So she'll be here
00:39:42I wish I could bottle your outlook
00:39:45You sweet little thing
00:39:46I'm not a sweet little thing
00:39:48You are my sweet little thing
00:39:49That's her
00:39:50Hey, come here, come here
00:39:52Okay
00:39:54Bye, Mom
00:39:55Okay
00:39:55Hey, sweetheart
00:40:05Hey, Aunt Holly
00:40:06Hop on back
00:40:07Okay
00:40:08This is gonna be so much fun
00:40:15Though I kind of wish I had my own skates
00:40:18To smell a little bit like the corned beef and cabbage
00:40:21Your grandma used to make on St. Patrick's Day when I was little
00:40:24You, you really need to put new skates on your Christmas list this year
00:40:29You can do this more often
00:40:31Consider it done
00:40:32Stinky skates or not
00:40:35I love this place
00:40:36I have my eighth birthday party here
00:40:38Only one kid broke the bone that day
00:40:40Oh, that's really encouraging
00:40:42Thank you
00:40:43Okay, let's go this way a little bit
00:40:50No, don't do that
00:40:52Oh, that's breathing
00:40:55Oh, that's breathing
00:40:55Oh, my God
00:40:56That's so cool
00:40:57I'm stuck
00:41:02Woo
00:41:04When did this whole superstar skating thing happen?
00:41:11Mom took me a few times since we went last
00:41:13Well, you are just awesome
00:41:15And you kind of stink
00:41:17But in a cool way
00:41:20Thank you very much, I think
00:41:23So, how are things going at home?
00:41:29I miss my dad a lot
00:41:30It's weird
00:41:31The longer he's gone, the less I remember the bad things
00:41:34Do you know where he is now?
00:41:36In Texas
00:41:37Mom said you got engaged last month
00:41:39To some big-haired Dallas girl
00:41:41Really?
00:41:42She didn't tell you?
00:41:45Your mom and I love each other very much
00:41:47But I don't always make as much time to spend with her as I should
00:41:51She says you're totally self-absorbed
00:41:53Whatever that is
00:41:55That's when you only think about yourself
00:41:58And I guess she's kind of right
00:42:01There's something that I need to tell you
00:42:05Yeah, what is it?
00:42:11I...
00:42:11I want to skate some more
00:42:13Okay, go ahead
00:42:15Um...
00:42:24Is this Grandma?
00:42:26She's looking kind of fit
00:42:28Holly, what are you doing here?
00:42:30I was going to ask you the same thing
00:42:32Give me a minute
00:42:34So you lied to me
00:42:37I'm so sorry
00:42:39And embarrassed
00:42:40I'll do anything to make it up to you
00:42:41How am I supposed to trust you again?
00:42:46Was there something you wanted to say?
00:42:48Okay, look
00:42:49No intended disrespect
00:42:50But I've sort of watched you bend the truth a lot
00:42:53And I just thought that it'd be okay if I did it sometimes too
00:42:56Am I in trouble?
00:43:00No
00:43:01Let's just call it even
00:43:03Okay
00:43:04Cool
00:43:05Thanks
00:43:06Who's that?
00:43:10I thought it was just someone from work
00:43:11I'm having a great time with you today, Aunt Holly
00:43:15I'm having so much fun with you too
00:43:18Do you promise you'll do this with me again?
00:43:20Yes, I promise
00:43:21Do you want to go skate some more?
00:43:24Do I have to?
00:43:25Yes, pat
00:43:26Okay
00:43:26Here are your keys, ma'am
00:43:31Oh, thank you very much
00:43:32And, uh, I have something for you
00:43:36Uh
00:43:37I, I don't have anything, actually
00:43:42I don't know why I'm doing this thing with my hands
00:43:45Where I'm patting myself down as if I have money
00:43:47Because I don't have any money to tip you
00:43:48And I won't be able to tip you
00:43:50Because I was going to go to the ATM earlier
00:43:51And then I got stuck in traffic
00:43:53And I had
00:43:53Well, it's the thought that counts
00:43:57Mm-hmm
00:43:59Do you see what I'm talking about?
00:44:04That's exactly what I mean
00:44:06I have no idea why I said all that stuff
00:44:07I can't even stop myself
00:44:08Well, well, well
00:44:26Look who's here again
00:44:28Yeah, well, I was driving back home
00:44:31And I was sort of on my way
00:44:33So I figured I'd stop and give you another donation
00:44:36Well, thank you, Holly
00:44:37And how are things with you and your niece?
00:44:40Wow, you have a really good memory
00:44:41Eh, it's part of the job
00:44:43Long list, separating naughty and nice
00:44:46That kind of thing
00:44:47Sure
00:44:48Well, yeah, things are, things are better
00:44:50Between me and Anna
00:44:51Well, that's good to hear
00:44:53So
00:44:54Well, with everything going so well
00:44:57Is there anything else you'd like to talk about?
00:45:00Yes, yes
00:45:01Um, okay
00:45:03This is kind of hard to explain
00:45:05But for the last few days
00:45:08I keep having these really strange urges
00:45:11To tell the truth
00:45:12And I don't mean just in a normal way
00:45:14I mean about everything
00:45:16Like all the time
00:45:18You're an expert at telling the truth, right?
00:45:21So
00:45:22What do you think?
00:45:24Can you help?
00:45:26Well, I don't know how much I can do for you
00:45:28But I
00:45:29Can offer you one very good piece of advice
00:45:33Yes, anything
00:45:34Thank you
00:45:34Keep living your life
00:45:37Just as you are now
00:45:39You might like what you end up finding
00:45:43Thank you
00:45:46You've actually just given me a really good idea
00:45:50And so it suddenly dawned on me
00:45:56That you'd be the perfect person
00:45:57With your musical expertise
00:45:59To lead our Christmas caroling
00:46:01In the old neighborhood
00:46:02I'm more than happy to do it
00:46:05It's going to be so awesome tonight
00:46:08I have to admit
00:46:10I've been kind of trying to get out of it
00:46:12For a while
00:46:13They keep asking me to volunteer
00:46:14But
00:46:15The truth is
00:46:16I'm just using tonight
00:46:18As an excuse to spend more time with you
00:46:20Wow
00:46:22That's putting your cards on the table
00:46:24Are we all going to sing together?
00:46:28Yes, we are, Anna
00:46:29Now, I know your credentials
00:46:31But your aunts are a little more shaky
00:46:33From what I hear
00:46:34I don't know what my wonderful niece
00:46:40Has been telling you
00:46:41But
00:46:42I can carry it
00:46:43I am a terrible singer
00:46:51Happy?
00:46:55So, is everyone ready?
00:46:57Not really

00:50:46you
00:50:49you
00:50:51you
00:50:54you
00:50:58you
00:50:58Hi.
00:51:09Hi.
00:51:15It's so unlike you to just drop by and see me in the Republic of Suburbia.
00:51:20Well, I missed you.
00:51:22It's been a while since you and I got to just sit down and talk.
00:51:26Is that sentimentality I hear?
00:51:29Mm-hmm.
00:51:30I thought you seemed happier lately.
00:51:33Well, there might be another reason why I'm a little happier lately, too.
00:51:37It's Anna's music teacher, isn't it?
00:51:39Maybe.
00:51:40Well, I hope so, because he is super cute.
00:51:44He's also incredibly nice.
00:51:47I didn't think your work left much time for relationships.
00:51:50Well, maybe it does now.
00:51:52What? What's wrong?
00:51:58What do you really want?
00:52:00What are you talking about?
00:52:02Well, you're following through with Anna,
00:52:05coming here to see me,
00:52:07talking boy talk for the first time in years.
00:52:12Got to be a reason.
00:52:14I told you I'm trying to make up for lost time.
00:52:16I mean, with Anna, but with you, too.
00:52:22And that is so nice.
00:52:25But what's different now?
00:52:28I can no longer tell lies.
00:52:31What?
00:52:32Mm-hmm.
00:52:35Are you kidding?
00:52:36Since when?
00:52:37You have been the best liar I've known.
00:52:39This is going to sound bizarre,
00:52:41but ever since I missed Anna's concert that other night,
00:52:45I walked outside.
00:52:46I talked to this Santa Claus that was standing there,
00:52:49and I don't know, a cold wind blew,
00:52:53there was a full moon, and everything changed.
00:52:56Maybe you should be talking to someone
00:52:58a little more qualified than me.
00:53:01I'm not crazy.
00:53:03All right, let me test out your theory, okay?
00:53:06Last summer,
00:53:10when you said you had a business trip in Toronto,
00:53:15when I asked if you could watch Anna
00:53:16over my reunion weekend...
00:53:18I was in wine country trying to win a new account.
00:53:23Okay.
00:53:26Um...
00:53:27New Year's Eve.
00:53:29Two years ago.
00:53:31Oh.
00:53:33Did you really forget to put my name on the guest list
00:53:35at that VIP ball downtown?
00:53:37No, I had to use that spot for a potential new client,
00:53:40and I tried to text you,
00:53:41but it was too late, so...
00:53:44Okay.
00:53:49Um...
00:53:50Last one.
00:53:55Has Anna ever come before your job?
00:53:58No.
00:54:01But I want to change that now.
00:54:04With all my heart.
00:54:05No, no way is it better.
00:54:14Seriously?
00:54:15I thought you were more old school.
00:54:17I am old school,
00:54:19but what could be more old school awesome
00:54:21than Jimmy Stewart and a kindly angel?
00:54:24Scrooge!
00:54:25Ebenezer Scrooge, that's who.
00:54:27You are sorely mistaken.
00:54:30Well, we'll have to continue this tomorrow night at dinner.
00:54:33I've got to get some sleep.
00:54:35Okay.
00:54:36I'll prove you wrong then.
00:54:37I'm really looking forward to it.
00:54:39Plus, we haven't kissed yet,
00:54:40so there should be some really fun tension on tap.
00:54:47Please tell me you'd hung up before I said that.
00:54:50I'd hung up before you said that.
00:54:54See you tomorrow.
00:54:55See you tomorrow.
00:54:58Good night, Drew.
00:54:59Good night, Holly.
00:55:04Some really great tension on tap.
00:55:07Who are you, Holly?
00:55:07So you're calling me back
00:55:13because you missed me already, right?
00:55:15No, but I am intrigued.
00:55:18Oh, hello.
00:55:19I'm so sorry.
00:55:20I thought you were someone else.
00:55:22I gathered as much.
00:55:23In my defense,
00:55:24it is a little weird
00:55:26to get a call after nine o'clock from a client,
00:55:28even a really rich one.
00:55:30Look, I know it is a bit spur of the moment,
00:55:32but I need to see where the collection campaign is at.
00:55:35Tomorrow in Aspen.
00:55:36Tomorrow?
00:55:38Aspen?
00:55:39Yeah, well, this is where I am,
00:55:41and so we should meet here.
00:55:43I only need you for 24, 36 hours.
00:55:47I have plans tomorrow,
00:55:50really important plans tomorrow night.
00:55:52I'm glad you agree.
00:55:53You would just email the plane ticket
00:55:55and all of the details.
00:55:56You fly out at 6 a.m.
00:55:58Graydon, I...
00:55:59Unless the next thing out of your mouth is thank you,
00:56:02this conversation is about to go south.
00:56:05Thank you?
00:56:06Good choice.
00:56:07See you in the morning.
00:56:11Ah.
00:56:15Well, I reckon you were being far too modest
00:56:23about your talent on the slopes.
00:56:25It's been a long time since I went skiing,
00:56:27but that was fun.
00:56:28It's like riding a bike, isn't it?
00:56:30I think we should capture this moment for posterity.
00:56:34Oh.
00:56:34With a dreaded selfie.
00:56:35Okay.
00:56:35Won't you spend Christmas here with me?
00:56:44Thank you again so much for having me.
00:56:47It's this beautiful place.
00:56:49Perfect place for work and play.
00:56:57People ask me all the time,
00:56:59how did I manage to build up my brand in 10 short years?
00:57:03And I nearly always say,
00:57:04well, if I tell you,
00:57:07you'll put me out of work.
00:57:08That's funny.
00:57:10I've said almost the same exact thing
00:57:12to many of my co-workers.
00:57:14Co-workers?
00:57:16How quaint that must be to have peers.
00:57:19Well, co-workers or no,
00:57:21I think I stack up pretty well against you.
00:57:25Oh.
00:57:25That's a pretty high bar.
00:57:27Since you'd need my rare mix of business sense,
00:57:30talent,
00:57:31personal charm,
00:57:31and charisma?
00:57:32Don't forget untethered arrogance,
00:57:35tone deafness,
00:57:35and slightly thinning hairline.
00:57:41Feisty.
00:57:41I like it.
00:57:43So what's your poison?
00:57:45Oh, I'm not really that.
00:57:46You know what?
00:57:47I would absolutely love a drink
00:57:48if you have it.
00:57:49I'm just feeling extraordinarily stressed.
00:57:52Well, relax.
00:57:54Because that's what we do here.
00:57:59But do show me what you've got
00:58:01since you're going to be up on the stage
00:58:04with me there.
00:58:06Salute.
00:58:07Cheers.
00:58:07Cheers.
00:58:09Okay.
00:58:10Well, the team and I
00:58:12were working on a couple of concepts,
00:58:14but this is the one
00:58:16I feel is the strongest.
00:58:19This is likely to play well
00:58:21with a suburban demographic
00:58:23that's looking for a touch of city cool,
00:58:26but will probably feel out of touch
00:58:28with or even slightly alienated
00:58:30by the typical big-name label.
00:58:38Spot on.
00:58:42I don't think I've met anyone
00:58:43quite like you in this game before.
00:58:45Classy.
00:58:46Beautiful.
00:58:48Refined killer instinct.
00:58:49I am so very sorry,
00:58:54but I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave.
00:58:56I promised someone
00:58:58that I would be somewhere
00:58:59with them tonight,
00:59:00and I have to keep that promise.
00:59:02Tonight?
00:59:03We've got work to do.
00:59:05And I promise you
00:59:06I will finish it all on Monday,
00:59:08but there's somewhere
00:59:11I have to be with someone
00:59:12I care a lot about.
00:59:13I can't imagine anyone
00:59:15in your place
00:59:16having the nerve
00:59:17to jump ship right now.
00:59:20We're not mad?
00:59:22I'm not used to now.
00:59:25But I believe you
00:59:26when you say
00:59:27you'll finish this by tomorrow.
00:59:29However,
00:59:30if you fail to do so,
00:59:33I'll find someone who can.
00:59:36I know that you will,
00:59:37and you have my word.
00:59:38Well, this is a great place.
00:59:48Yeah.
00:59:48I was hoping
00:59:49you might enjoy the music.
00:59:50I do, very much.
00:59:51It's...
00:59:52That's a good call.
00:59:54So how was your day?
00:59:55Hmm.
00:59:56It was really good.
00:59:57I spent the whole day
00:59:58in Aspen with Graydon DuPois.
01:00:01Oh, I didn't know
01:00:01you and your team
01:00:02were going to be up there today.
01:00:03Pretty quick trip.
01:00:04It wasn't my team.
01:00:05It was just me and him,
01:00:06just the two of us,
01:00:07all day long.
01:00:07We actually went skiing,
01:00:09in fact.
01:00:09It was fun.
01:00:10He took a cute selfie of us.
01:00:12Let me show it to you.
01:00:16That's interesting.
01:00:18Mm-hmm.
01:00:18I'll take that back.
01:00:19Mm-hmm.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:23Okay.
01:00:24I was hoping
01:00:25you weren't going to find out,
01:00:26but I find it impossible
01:00:27to keep any secrets
01:00:28that big, so, yeah.
01:00:31I can understand.
01:00:32Stranger things have happened
01:00:34in marrying him
01:00:34and running his company, right?
01:00:35Mm.
01:00:36No, I said that
01:00:38so long ago, Drew.
01:00:40I was kidding, mostly.
01:00:42Actually, that's not true.
01:00:43I was half telling the truth.
01:00:46I meant it.
01:00:48You meant it?
01:00:49I mean, he's rich.
01:00:50He's handsome.
01:00:51He's very talented.
01:00:52There are worse people
01:00:52and addicts
01:00:53that could befriend.
01:00:57He wanted me
01:00:58to spend the night
01:00:59to work.
01:01:01Just to work.
01:01:03Um, I, I,
01:01:05but I came back
01:01:06because I told him
01:01:08it was very important to me
01:01:09to keep these plans with you,
01:01:11and I said there was
01:01:12someone special
01:01:13that I really wanted
01:01:15to spend time with today,
01:01:16and that's true.
01:01:17There's nobody I'd rather
01:01:18be sitting here with
01:01:19than you.
01:01:20You know I can't lie.
01:01:21So, I actually have
01:01:27some news myself.
01:01:28Oh, good.
01:01:29What is it?
01:01:30The head band director
01:01:31at Northwestern
01:01:32suddenly decided to retire.
01:01:34Oh, Northwestern.
01:01:35The Northwestern in Chicago?
01:01:37Yep.
01:01:38They need someone to start
01:01:39right after New Year's,
01:01:40and they offered
01:01:41the job to me.
01:01:42That's, um,
01:01:45that is really exciting.
01:01:47And what I mean by that
01:01:48is that it's really impressive
01:01:49and not that I want you
01:01:50to take the job
01:01:51because I really, really,
01:01:52really don't want you
01:01:52to take the job.
01:01:58Are you gonna say yes?
01:02:01They offered to double
01:02:02my salary,
01:02:03and it's a cool city.
01:02:05Kind of tough to turn down,
01:02:06don't you think?
01:02:11Hmm.
01:02:12Oh.
01:02:26Let me guess.
01:02:27Great new point?
01:02:28Why do yours look all weird?
01:02:46They're not weird.
01:02:48They're unique.
01:02:50Hmm.
01:02:51They look like gross blobs.
01:02:54They're arty.
01:02:55I get arty this time of year.
01:02:57Okay.
01:03:02I'll get it.
01:03:06Well, he hasn't accepted
01:03:07the job yet.
01:03:08No, but he'd be crazy not to.
01:03:12Does he believe you
01:03:13about DuPois?
01:03:14I think so.
01:03:15But the thing is,
01:03:16I know he had a really bad
01:03:18experience with his last girlfriend
01:03:19not being honest with him.
01:03:20probably doesn't help matters
01:03:23that I told him every detail
01:03:26of my wonderful day in Aspen
01:03:28with DuPois,
01:03:29and then he saw the flowers.
01:03:30It's gotta be hard on him.
01:03:33Oh, also,
01:03:35I told Drew
01:03:36when I first met him
01:03:37that I could envision myself
01:03:40as Mrs. DuPois.
01:03:42Oops.
01:03:43Yep.
01:03:43It's so strange, too.
01:03:46Now that I can't lie anymore,
01:03:48not only am I honest
01:03:49about everything,
01:03:50but it's like I have
01:03:50no filter whatsoever.
01:03:52Everything just comes
01:03:53blurting out.
01:03:54Like with Drew,
01:03:54I keep telling him
01:03:55about the feelings
01:03:56I have for him,
01:03:57and it's way too soon.
01:04:00I think I might be
01:04:01scaring him off.
01:04:02I feel like this
01:04:04is all my fault.
01:04:05Hey, I thought
01:04:06I sent you to bed.
01:04:08What do you mean,
01:04:08your fault?
01:04:10How could it be your fault?
01:04:12You said you can't lie anymore.
01:04:16I know it sounds
01:04:17a little weird,
01:04:19but yeah,
01:04:20that's more or less
01:04:21what's going on.
01:04:24Why do you look like that?
01:04:27Anna,
01:04:28what's going on?
01:04:30Cut her some slack.
01:04:31She just heard you say
01:04:32that you magically
01:04:33can't lie anymore,
01:04:34and you just think
01:04:35that sounds crazy, right?
01:04:36It just sounds crazy,
01:04:37doesn't it?
01:04:39Right?
01:04:41I asked Santa
01:04:42to make you tell the truth
01:04:43all the time,
01:04:44Aunt Holly.
01:04:46What?
01:04:47It's what I most wanted
01:04:49in the world.
01:04:50Have you be honest with me
01:04:52to keep your promises
01:04:53so I could spend
01:04:54more time with you?
01:04:55I don't understand
01:05:01what happened.
01:05:02I mean,
01:05:02I took your advice.
01:05:04I just kept living my life
01:05:05just like you said.
01:05:09Everything was going so well.
01:05:10I was seeing this
01:05:11great new guy,
01:05:13and my job was going great,
01:05:15and I was reconnecting
01:05:16with my sister
01:05:17and my niece.
01:05:17And now,
01:05:19all of a sudden,
01:05:20everything just feels
01:05:21not real.
01:05:24Not real how?
01:05:25Well,
01:05:26I don't know if I'm just
01:05:28rocking this new account
01:05:30because the client
01:05:31has a crush on me
01:05:32or because I'm actually
01:05:33good at it,
01:05:34and then the awesome
01:05:35new guy I'm seeing
01:05:36thinks there's actually
01:05:37something romantic
01:05:37happening between me
01:05:39and that same client,
01:05:40which there isn't.
01:05:41And things are weird
01:05:42with you and your sister
01:05:43and your niece
01:05:43because Anna asked
01:05:45for a wish for me
01:05:47to stop you
01:05:48from lying.
01:05:50How can you...
01:05:52Please fix this.
01:05:55Sometimes,
01:05:55assembly is required
01:05:56on the presents
01:05:57you get, Holly,
01:05:58especially to good ones.
01:06:00But I don't know
01:06:00how to make this right.
01:06:02Holly,
01:06:02all these wonderful things
01:06:03started happening
01:06:04when you started
01:06:04telling the truth,
01:06:05right?
01:06:06Well, yeah.
01:06:07Wow.
01:06:08Then I think
01:06:09the solution
01:06:10is pretty easy.
01:06:23Hey.
01:06:24Hey.
01:06:24Come on in.
01:06:26You're a hard guy
01:06:26to get a hold of.
01:06:29Yeah.
01:06:30Sorry.
01:06:31I've just been, uh,
01:06:32really busy.
01:06:34What's going on?
01:06:38I decided to take
01:06:39the job at Northwestern.
01:06:44I've been thinking
01:06:45about it quite a bit
01:06:46and it just seems
01:06:47like the right thing
01:06:47to do.
01:06:50Just like that?
01:06:51You're...
01:06:51You're leaving?
01:06:53You can't just
01:06:54leave like that.
01:06:57I love you.
01:06:59Don't.
01:07:00Please don't.
01:07:01Is that really
01:07:02all you have to say?
01:07:03They're just words.
01:07:04They're not just words.
01:07:06Because I mean them.
01:07:10Look,
01:07:11I'm going to Chicago
01:07:12for a semester
01:07:13to see if I like it.
01:07:14You can come and visit.
01:07:16And if things between us
01:07:17are meant to be,
01:07:17then we'll work it out.
01:07:20This is when we're
01:07:20supposed to figure out
01:07:21if things between us
01:07:22are meant to be.
01:07:23Because I've just told you
01:07:24how I feel about you.
01:07:26And now I'm standing here
01:07:27waiting to hear
01:07:29if you feel the same way
01:07:30about me.
01:07:30So do you?
01:07:31Yeah, of course.
01:07:34You know how I feel
01:07:35about you.
01:07:37But you need space
01:07:39to see if you care
01:07:39more about Graydon.
01:07:40I don't need any space.
01:07:43Please don't go.
01:07:45Holly, I have to.
01:07:46I made a promise.
01:07:48I promised I would be there
01:07:49on Christmas Eve
01:07:50for the retirement party
01:07:51and my predecessor
01:07:52to pass the baton.
01:07:56I'm sorry.
01:07:58I'll call you from there, okay?
01:08:00No, it's not okay.
01:08:02It's about as far from
01:08:03okay as anything could be.
01:08:20Didn't we already
01:08:21do this once before?
01:08:23I told you,
01:08:24I have a change
01:08:24I need to make with Santa.
01:08:26This is silly.
01:08:27I don't even think
01:08:28he's still gonna be there.
01:08:30Merry Christmas.
01:08:42Hello, Anna.
01:08:43I'm so glad you're here.
01:08:44I need to take back
01:08:46what I asked you for before.
01:08:47I made a huge mistake.
01:08:49You don't like your aunt
01:08:50telling the truth.
01:08:51No, I do.
01:08:53I did.
01:08:54But things have just
01:08:55gotten too crazy.
01:08:56A lot of bad stuff
01:08:57has happened.
01:08:57And I need to replace
01:08:59that wish
01:08:59with a new wish
01:09:00that involves someone else.
01:09:02Can I do that?
01:09:13Here she is
01:09:14preparing for a big show.
01:09:16Who'd you lose the bet to?
01:09:18Oh, uh, Doreen made this.
01:09:22Ever since she left nursing
01:09:24there have been a few hobbies
01:09:26that leave collateral damage.
01:09:29Anyway, I approved
01:09:30the final spots
01:09:31and print ads
01:09:31for the DuPois account.
01:09:34This is some of your
01:09:35best work ever.
01:09:37Tomorrow night's gonna be
01:09:38incredible for us.
01:09:40And after that,
01:09:42I'm gonna approve you
01:09:43for partnership.
01:09:44You were right
01:09:45not to have any faith in me.
01:09:48I didn't really have
01:09:49any faith in myself.
01:09:51I didn't actually know DuPois
01:09:53before I landed the account.
01:09:55That phone call
01:09:56you overheard,
01:09:57I completely made that up
01:09:59so that you'd give me
01:09:59the account.
01:10:00I completely made that up
01:10:01so that you'd give me
01:10:03the account.
01:10:04I lied too, Holly.
01:10:19I was actually leaning
01:10:20toward Ted before the call.
01:10:22I mean, he's a decent guy
01:10:23and he's done some good work
01:10:25for us for a really long time.
01:10:28I never told you this before,
01:10:30but the DuPois account
01:10:32and the partnership
01:10:33you're about to get
01:10:34probably should have been his.
01:10:37Then give it to him.
01:10:41You've done such a good job
01:10:43on the DuPois project.
01:10:44It's not that clear cut.
01:10:46I don't care.
01:10:47Ted deserves it.
01:10:51What about the DuPois show tomorrow?
01:10:53I'll still do it
01:10:54and it's still gonna be great.
01:10:57And then once it's over,
01:10:58you can make whatever decision
01:10:59you feel is right
01:11:00regarding my future here.
01:11:02And if you decide
01:11:04to let me go,
01:11:05I'll completely understand.
01:11:21Wow, this is so fancy.
01:11:25Yeah.
01:11:25You look a little nervous.
01:11:33I feel like all my internal organs
01:11:35are fused into one big ball of anxiety.
01:11:38Jordan,
01:11:39would you please get Holly a seltzer?
01:11:41Sure.
01:11:41No, that's okay.
01:11:42I can do it.
01:11:42I could use the walk.
01:11:43What they don't know won't hurt them.
01:11:55Am I right?
01:11:57Made in the USA.
01:11:59Made in good old Malaysia,
01:12:00more like it.
01:12:02Critical.
01:12:03It'll put us back in the black
01:12:04six months ahead of current projections.
01:12:06Your job is to ensure
01:12:09that we keep a lid on it.
01:12:18Are you okay?
01:12:19You look a little green.
01:12:20I just overheard
01:12:21Mr. Made in the USA
01:12:22saying that his entire collection
01:12:23is actually secretly
01:12:24made in Malaysia.
01:12:26What?
01:12:26Yeah, I know.
01:12:27Are you sure?
01:12:28Yeah, I'm absolutely sure
01:12:29I just heard him.
01:12:30So how are we going to play this?
01:12:33Canceling the show
01:12:33would be a good start.
01:12:34Wait, wait.
01:12:35Hold on here.
01:12:37Let's think rational here for a minute.
01:12:39This is rational.
01:12:40He's lying
01:12:40and we cannot be part of this.
01:12:42I hate it.
01:12:43What?
01:12:43Don't call me.
01:12:44Well,
01:12:45are we ready to do this?
01:12:47We sure are.
01:12:49Oh, it's ten.
01:12:50Come on then.
01:12:52Ladies and gentlemen,
01:12:54I give you
01:12:55the Brayden DuPont
01:12:56made in the USA collection.
01:13:30Merry Christmas.
01:13:45Happy Holidays.
01:13:46And in the spirit of the season,
01:13:47the gifts the guys are carrying
01:13:48are all bound for local charities
01:13:50for those less fortunate.
01:13:52Thank you, gentlemen.
01:13:52On a personal note,
01:13:59I want to tell you
01:13:59how proud I am
01:14:00of this new phenomenon
01:14:01in menswear
01:14:02and the fact that it's manufactured
01:14:04right here
01:14:05in the good old U.S. of A.
01:14:07makes it that much more special,
01:14:08doesn't it?
01:14:14And I'd be remiss
01:14:15if I didn't introduce
01:14:16the architect
01:14:17of the Made in America campaign.
01:14:19From the Hartman Hill Agency,
01:14:21the fabulous Holly Nolan.
01:14:23I've been creating
01:14:35ad campaigns
01:14:37for as far back
01:14:39as I can remember.
01:14:42Projecting an image
01:14:43so that whatever
01:14:46I'm selling
01:14:47sells.
01:14:51It's almost become
01:14:52like a game.
01:14:54You say whatever
01:14:55you need to say
01:14:56to get by,
01:14:58no matter what the situation.
01:15:01Living your life like that,
01:15:02you start to wonder
01:15:04what parts
01:15:05are real
01:15:06after a while.
01:15:07maybe some people
01:15:10start to wonder
01:15:11whether you're real.
01:15:15Living my life
01:15:16that way,
01:15:17I realized
01:15:18that I was
01:15:19missing out
01:15:20on some of the
01:15:22very best parts
01:15:23of life.
01:15:27And
01:15:28I decided recently
01:15:30that I'm not going
01:15:30to do that anymore.
01:15:34So
01:15:34today
01:15:36I have
01:15:39finally decided
01:15:41to do the right thing.
01:15:44This
01:15:44is part
01:15:46of a lie
01:15:47that I cannot
01:15:48be a part of.
01:15:49Thank you for sharing
01:15:49a big hand
01:15:50from Ms. Nolan.
01:15:51No, I'm not finished.
01:15:52Here's the thing.
01:15:53The Graydon DuPois
01:15:54collection
01:15:55is in fact
01:15:56not
01:15:57made in the USA.
01:15:58Boss
01:16:06Berkeley O'Connell
01:16:07and I
01:16:08discovered this
01:16:09a few moments ago
01:16:10and
01:16:12I
01:16:12can say
01:16:13with a very
01:16:13clear conscience
01:16:14that I want
01:16:15nothing further
01:16:15to do with a liar
01:16:16like Graydon DuPois
01:16:17and neither
01:16:18should any of you.
01:16:19The kid's got
01:16:20a great sense of humor.
01:16:21Thank you again,
01:16:22everybody
01:16:22and happy,
01:16:23happy holidays.
01:16:24I hope
01:16:29that was worth it
01:16:30to you,
01:16:30Holly,
01:16:31because I am
01:16:32going to sue you
01:16:33and your boss
01:16:34for more money
01:16:35than the DuPois
01:16:36collection
01:16:36would have made me
01:16:37over the next
01:16:38ten years
01:16:39and then
01:16:40I'll start
01:16:41getting nasty.
01:16:42Well,
01:16:42good luck
01:16:43with that
01:16:43because I happen
01:16:44to be a firm
01:16:45believer in that
01:16:46time-tested
01:16:47American axiom.
01:16:50Truth
01:16:50is the best
01:16:51defense.
01:16:51Holly,
01:16:59it dissipated
01:17:00direct order.
01:17:01I know.
01:17:02It would have
01:17:02been so much
01:17:03easier to just
01:17:03stay quiet
01:17:04about DuPois
01:17:05but
01:17:05I can't do
01:17:08that anymore.
01:17:08That's just
01:17:09not who I am.
01:17:10You certainly
01:17:11didn't do it
01:17:12the easy way
01:17:12and you probably
01:17:14cost me a lot
01:17:15of money
01:17:15in the process.
01:17:17Why aren't
01:17:18you yelling
01:17:18at me?
01:17:20I can't yell
01:17:20at somebody
01:17:21who did
01:17:21the right
01:17:21thing.
01:17:22The thing
01:17:23I should
01:17:23have done.
01:17:25I'm sorry
01:17:25for putting
01:17:26all that
01:17:26on you.
01:17:28And that
01:17:28partnership
01:17:29is yours
01:17:30if you
01:17:30want it.
01:17:33Um,
01:17:34I don't
01:17:35know what
01:17:35to say.
01:17:36Thank you,
01:17:37works.
01:17:37Merry Christmas
01:17:38as well.
01:17:38Thank you
01:17:40and Merry
01:17:40Christmas.
01:17:42I just
01:17:43need a little
01:17:43bit of time
01:17:44off though,
01:17:44I think,
01:17:45to think
01:17:46about everything
01:17:47and sort
01:17:48some stuff
01:17:48out.
01:17:48I understand
01:17:49you take
01:17:49as much
01:17:50time as
01:17:50you need.
01:17:51Just know
01:17:52that you're
01:17:52always welcome
01:17:52back here.
01:17:56Okay,
01:17:57that was
01:17:58way cool.
01:18:00He used
01:18:01to be my hero
01:18:01for the wrong
01:18:02reasons,
01:18:02but now you
01:18:03are for the
01:18:04right one.
01:18:09I'm so proud
01:18:10of you.
01:18:11That took
01:18:11incredible guts.
01:18:13That was so
01:18:13cool how you
01:18:14told that
01:18:14mean DuPont
01:18:15guy that
01:18:15guy that
01:18:15he was
01:18:16a liar.
01:18:18Aw,
01:18:18thanks you
01:18:19guys.
01:18:20But it's
01:18:20not like I
01:18:21had any
01:18:21choice but
01:18:22to tell
01:18:22the truth,
01:18:23right?
01:18:26Right?
01:18:28Santa had
01:18:28already taken
01:18:29away the
01:18:30truth-telling
01:18:30wish.
01:18:31That was
01:18:31on you

01:18:32Aunt Holly.
01:18:35Anna,
01:18:36thank you

01:18:39everything.
01:18:41Why are

01:18:42me?
01:18:44Because I
