00:00:00Music
00:00:23I love this time of year.
00:00:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too.
00:00:35Which is why I think you should reconsider moving to New York with me.
00:00:41You know that if I could, I would, right?
00:00:43It's just I don't understand why you can't.
00:00:45And you know that it would mean a lot to me.
00:00:47And you're just a teacher.
00:00:48You know, they can get a substitute.
00:00:50I know, but it's the Christmas showcase.
00:00:52Nice. Nicky depends on me.
00:00:54Look, you know that I think it is amazing that you do these after-school activities.
00:00:58I mean, you know that I do, but Tyler told me that I have a chance to make partner by next year.
00:01:03Andrew, that's great news.
00:01:04George, I finally have a chance to make some real money.
00:01:06You know, we can live the life that we've always wanted.
00:01:08You'll never have to work again.
00:01:11I know, but you know that I love my job.
00:01:16Yeah, yeah, I know you do.
00:01:19Hey, I almost forgot I managed to score us.
00:01:22A couple tickets to the Christmas ball.
00:01:26That's Christmas Eve.
00:01:27Yeah, so?
00:01:29It's the night of the showcase.
00:01:31I mean, you don't actually have to be there, do you?
00:01:35No, but I want to.
00:01:37Besides, your niece has a really cute part in the play.
00:01:39Don't you want to see that?
00:01:40Yes, yeah, of course I do.
00:01:42But I mean, we have a chance to mingle with the ninth richest family in America.
00:01:45I think she'll understand.
00:01:46Plus, I thought any woman would kill for the chance to meet the infamous Chase Knightley.
00:01:51Well, not this woman.
00:01:52These people do nothing good for the community.
00:01:54And Chase, well, he's everything wrong with America.
00:01:59Oh, okay.
00:02:01You see?
00:02:02I'm sorry.
00:02:03I just, I don't want to go.
00:02:04Yeah.
00:02:05Christmas is about spending time with family and friends, not with people who are famous
00:02:10for being rich.
00:02:13Georgia, I think that you're wonderful.
00:02:20You're probably the nicest person that I know.
00:02:22I just don't think that I'm altruistic like you are.
00:02:24And I don't know if I want to be, you know?
00:02:26I'm not afraid to succeed.
00:02:27I think the last time, Becky, I'm looking at you.
00:02:30All right, let's go.
00:02:34Good throw.
00:02:35Okay, if you get hit, go to the side.
00:02:38Coach Brown?
00:02:40I understand your concern.
00:02:42What am I supposed to do?
00:02:43All right, my job is to help these kids burn off their energy.
00:02:45Just look at them.
00:02:47Yeah, but how are we supposed to set up for the showcase?
00:02:52Go over there in the corner.
00:02:53Coach Brown, arts and sports are supposed to share the space?
00:02:59I am sharing.
00:03:01Now, if you needed more space, you should have negotiated that in advance.
00:03:05Wow.
00:03:05Thank you for that wonderful suggestion.
00:03:08You know what you do need?
00:03:09Someone who plays well with others.
00:03:11Cute, but no.
00:03:11Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 53rd Annual Christmas Showcase!
00:03:23An emcee.
00:03:25Look, you guys need an emcee, and I just happen to be free on the 24th, now that my mother's
00:03:30going to go visit Gary in Florida for Christmas.
00:03:33Good to know.
00:03:34Yeah.
00:03:35Just look at this energy.
00:03:37It's like this building is festering.
00:03:39Oh!
00:03:39Okay, all right.
00:03:41You guys want to get out of here, okay?
00:03:42I've seen this before.
00:03:43It's about to go to another level.
00:03:45Nothing says Christmas like dodgeball.
00:03:47Chase?
00:04:09What?
00:04:10You didn't talk the entire flight.
00:04:11We need to talk about this.
00:04:13Talk about what, Burton?
00:04:14This?
00:04:15All of last week?
00:04:16Oh, okay.
00:04:21Then let's talk about the merger.
00:04:23EDT International is worried.
00:04:25Your father is worried.
00:04:27All right?
00:04:27You know, Fortune's only interested in deploying into Barrington Knightley for its image, which
00:04:32is an image that you seem to be trying to ruin full-time.
00:04:35We've got to figure out a way to fix this.
00:04:36I am fixing it.
00:04:38I'm going to lay low for one.
00:04:40At least until the merger's signed.
00:04:42That's what's best for everyone.
00:04:43I disagree.
00:04:44What's best for everyone is for you to get involved in the merger.
00:04:48Right.
00:04:49I read your analysis.
00:04:50It's good.
00:04:50You just have to share it with your father.
00:04:51I have shared it with him, Brandon.
00:04:53He doesn't care.
00:04:54He's not interested in anything.
00:04:55He has Kevin.
00:04:56Kevin's not his son.
00:04:57Exactly.
00:04:58You see, the fact that I have an MBA and I'm a lawyer don't seem to matter at all to my
00:05:02father.
00:05:03Okay?
00:05:03I just need him to disagree.
00:05:06Unfortunately, I don't know if that's going to be enough this time.
00:05:10You need an image makeover.
00:05:12Good luck with that.
00:05:14The car's going to be another minute.
00:05:17You should wait inside.
00:05:21Hey, there he is.
00:05:23Come on.
00:05:24Mr. Knightley, are you here to help with the ball?
00:05:26Do you want to comment on your big plan?
00:05:28By that, I mean you're planning to ruin your family's reputation.
00:05:32Are you here to hide?
00:05:34Or are you going to keep partying and hoping nobody notices?
00:05:37Strife.
00:05:38Please.
00:05:44Great.
00:05:47Well, well, well, well.
00:05:49Randall, pleasure as always.
00:05:51Another day in paradise.
00:05:52So are you hiding your boy until the big merger?
00:05:55My boy?
00:05:56No.
00:05:56He's here to help with the Christmas ball.
00:05:58That's all.
00:05:59Oh, so what you're saying is that has nothing to do with this.
00:06:02Wouldn't know.
00:06:03Never seen it.
00:06:04Sure, you ass.
00:06:05Okay.
00:06:06Come on, tell us the story.
00:06:08Oh, okay.
00:06:08Well, here's the story, Randall.
00:06:10Yes?
00:06:15Let's get your change.
00:06:16One, two, three, four.
00:06:18Try to lose any of you.
00:06:20All right.
00:06:21Get your change.
00:06:23Bye.
00:06:23Bye.
00:06:27So, what do you think?
00:06:31You'll rehearse with the kids at the school, and I will work on the sets here by the cleaning
00:06:35supplies at night.
00:06:36It's not like I have any other plans.
00:06:38I know.
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:42Do you want me to pick up the fabrics?
00:06:44If you don't mind, yeah.
00:06:45I'm going to wait with Zoe.
00:06:47You should go get changed before your dad gets here.
00:06:50All right.
00:06:51And listen.
00:06:52Cheer up.
00:06:53I know you're going to meet a guy in the most unexpected way.
00:06:56I can feel it.
00:06:58Yeah, yeah.
00:07:02So, how do we turn this place into a magical, moonlit desert?
00:07:06Why did Miss Finley tell you to cheer up?
00:07:09What?
00:07:10I think you're hearing things.
00:07:11Are you sad because my uncle?
00:07:14What are you, Columbo?
00:07:15More like Matlock.
00:07:18Okay, Matlock.
00:07:19Yes, I'm a little bit sad, but that's okay.
00:07:23Being sad is just one of the many emotions that we feel.
00:07:25Well, now go get changed.
00:07:55Get your hands out.
00:08:25I forgot my keys.
00:08:28Um, is there, like, a sushi place right here?
00:08:31Around here?
00:08:34Okay, I mean, I just need a place to hang out for a minute.
00:08:36Uh, there's a community center up the road.
00:08:40Mm-hmm. Great.
00:08:43Sorry, my dad's always late.
00:08:46Mom says he'll be late to his funeral.
00:08:49That's okay.
00:08:50It's probably the highlight of my evening.
00:08:52Cool.
00:08:53Do you want to shoot some hoops?
00:08:55Let's see what you got.
00:09:01Is this the community center?
00:09:03Yep.
00:09:07Great.
00:09:09Thanks, man.
00:09:11This is crazy, man.
00:09:25Why do you make my life more difficult?
00:09:36Change plans.
00:09:39Take a shot.
00:09:40Let's see.
00:09:40Whoa, that was so good.
00:09:46So, do you know if your uncle's going with a Christmas ball?
00:09:50Do you know?
00:09:51Just hope he doesn't come here.
00:09:53How come?
00:09:54Because he made you sad.
00:09:57So, wait.
00:09:58You want to get back together?
00:09:59It's complicated.
00:10:03You shouldn't.
00:10:03You can do better.
00:10:05What?
00:10:08That's what my mom said.
00:10:10That's what your mom said?
00:10:12Yeah, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear it.
00:10:15Well, what else did she say that you weren't supposed to hear, huh?
00:10:18Listen, you don't have to be mad at your uncle, okay?
00:10:25Breakups are hard, and it's a loss, so we mourn a little bit.
00:10:29I'm sure it wasn't easy for him, either.
00:10:33Hello.
00:10:35Andrew.
00:10:37We were just talking about you.
00:10:39Are you here to pick up Zoe?
00:10:41Yeah, Trev's going to work late again tonight.
00:10:43Hey, could we talk?
00:10:45Sure.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:47You go, buddy.
00:10:48How's the showcase coming along?
00:10:58Some work in progress.
00:10:59Can't see much yet, but...
00:11:01How was New York?
00:11:04That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:11:07I wanted to let you know that...
00:11:10We're engaged!
00:11:14I'm Megan.
00:11:15You must be Georgia.
00:11:16Wow!
00:11:20It's so big!
00:11:23Congratulations!
00:11:24I know it's all a little fast.
00:11:25I hope that you're okay.
00:11:27Oh, yeah.
00:11:29Yeah, I'm fine.
00:11:32Well, come on, Zoe.
00:11:33My name is Zoe.
00:11:35My bad.
00:11:36Sorry.
00:11:38Anyways, we do have to get going.
00:11:39We have so much to do!
00:11:41Andrew here got us tickets to the nightly ball, and I need you now.
00:11:44Plus, we're also going back to New York City for New Year's, so it's just busy, busy, busy.
00:11:48And what about you?
00:11:50Do you have any plans?
00:11:52Andrew said that you prefer to stay here for New Year's?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57Yeah.
00:11:58Well, that's okay, too.
00:12:02Hey, sorry for taking so long.
00:12:06Hey, Zoe, how are you?
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08I was, uh, working on the details of her New Year's trip to Paris.
00:12:13Oh!
00:12:14Hey, Chase Knightley, how are you?
00:12:17Oh, she's just surprised I found the time to get away.
00:12:22All right, so, um, plan's fueled up, ready to go?
00:12:25Okay.
00:12:26We have an appointment with Stella McCartney.
00:12:28She's designing a gown just for Georgia.
00:12:30Smile for the camera.
00:12:33All right, got her hands.
00:12:35Everyone wants her picture.
00:12:35All right, ciao.
00:12:42She's dating Chase Knightley?
00:12:44Only three weeks after we broke up.
00:12:51Leave you alone for three minutes.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:17Get here.
00:13:21This way.
00:13:24Okay, what is going on?
00:13:25Shh.
00:13:36There.
00:13:36There, there.
00:13:37I think they're gone.
00:13:52They don't give up that easy.
00:14:00Can I see your phone for a sec?
00:14:02What?
00:14:03No.
00:14:04I just want to send a text.
00:14:08It'll help us get out of here quicker.
00:14:18What's this room called?
00:14:21Activity room.
00:14:23Cool.
00:14:28Oh, wow, that was fast.
00:14:32What was?
00:14:34Chase's new girlfriend?
00:14:37You're welcome.
00:14:39I think you won this breakup.
00:14:40What?
00:14:42Did you see the look on his face?
00:14:44His new girlfriend wishes she was you.
00:14:47Full of yourself much?
00:14:48I'm sure she couldn't care less.
00:14:51Okay.
00:14:56She does custom.
00:14:58Maybe I should do custom.
00:14:59Hey, wouldn't it be great if Stella McCartney designed me a custom gown?
00:15:05Oh, my gosh.
00:15:07Wouldn't it be amazing if Chase Knightley came to our wedding?
00:15:10I don't want anyone thinking I'm your girlfriend.
00:15:23Why not?
00:15:25It'll elevate your status in the world, even if it's temporary.
00:15:28You're even more egotistical than I thought in that saying a lot.
00:15:32I'm just being realistic.
00:15:35You might actually benefit from this little charade.
00:15:38More like the other way around.
00:15:40Okay.
00:15:42Says the woman working in a rundown nothing of a community center.
00:15:45Where are you going?
00:15:50I just realized.
00:15:52I don't need to hide.
00:15:53They're after you.
00:15:54No, wait.
00:15:55Sorry.
00:15:55That was a dumb thing to say.
00:15:57I was being a jerk.
00:15:58Sorry.
00:16:00What do you want from me?
00:16:02I honestly just like to help.
00:16:05I don't like the way they were treating you.
00:16:07But it was wrong.
00:16:09And, um...
00:16:11I'm sorry.
00:16:12Once I get my phone back, I'll fix all this.
00:16:14I'm sorry.
00:16:16Probably right, actually.
00:16:17My father and the entire murder team were probably breathing a sigh of relief at the idea of us dating.
00:16:23Guess I'll just have to disappoint him again.
00:16:27Sorry, I guess.
00:16:29Yeah, whatever.
00:16:32You know what?
00:16:34I may have a proposition.
00:16:36What kind of proposition?
00:16:39A lucrative kind.
00:16:40Or I pay you to be my girlfriend until Christmas.
00:16:43It'll be fine.
00:16:44It took you long enough.
00:16:52Oh, there you are.
00:16:53Sorry, I was cleaning up one of your previous messes.
00:16:55I didn't know I needed to clean up another one.
00:16:57Are they gone?
00:16:58Yes, I told them you got into a cab.
00:16:59Also, there's a woman downstairs who says that you're both invited to her wedding.
00:17:02Who is he?
00:17:03I am Brayden Winthrop, the personal executive assistant of Mr. Chase Knightley.
00:17:08George Jackson, school teacher.
00:17:11Pleasure.
00:17:11Although I'm still not 100% sure why the internet believes that you are his girlfriend.
00:17:14Hmm.
00:17:15Hmm.
00:17:18It's just a silly game.
00:17:19That's usually where I start to get worried.
00:17:22You're the one that said I needed an image makeover.
00:17:26Voila.
00:17:26Yeah, that's not at all what I meant.
00:17:31But you're right.
00:17:32She's perfect.
00:17:33Okay, she is standing right here and would very much like to understand what is going on.
00:17:37Allow me.
00:17:38Mr. Knightley doesn't exactly have the best reputation.
00:17:42You, on the other hand, are a beloved girl-next-door elementary school teacher.
00:17:48Mr. Knightley would like to borrow that belovedness in exchange for a healthy compensation package
00:17:54just until a merger goes through.
00:17:56Exactly.
00:17:57Oh, you want to buy your way out of a problem.
00:18:01Figures.
00:18:02But even if I did agree to this, no one would believe it.
00:18:05Ah, the internet, in its infinite wisdom, already believes it.
00:18:08And what about my family and friends?
00:18:10Just tell them you were waiting for the right time.
00:18:13Trust me, there would be no right time for this.
00:18:15Georgia.
00:18:17Please.
00:18:20I can pay you more money than you make in a year.
00:18:23You really are something.
00:18:25You think you can just buy everything.
00:18:27Well, not me.
00:18:29You couldn't pay me enough.
00:18:31Try me.
00:18:33Throw a number at me.
00:18:36A new community center.
00:18:38What?
00:18:39I want you and your family to donate the cost of building us a new rec center.
00:18:43Something you should have done a long time ago with all the money you have.
00:18:46This one is apparently run down.
00:18:50It's pretty run down.
00:18:55Deal.
00:18:56What?
00:18:56Mm-hmm.
00:18:57Seriously?
00:18:58Yeah.
00:18:59So you'll do it?
00:19:03Fine.
00:19:03I will pretend to date you, and you build us a new community center.
00:19:08After Christmas, this is done.
00:19:11Perfect.
00:19:15Okay.
00:19:17This day just keeps getting better.
00:19:18I can't believe I'm doing this.
00:19:24Doing what?
00:19:26Uh, Miss Jackson was just saying she's feeling a little bit overwhelmed with all of the Christmas
00:19:31activities she's taking on.
00:19:32Now, why don't I believe that?
00:19:35Because you might hate Christmas.
00:19:38Are you sure you want to be part of the charade?
00:19:40Charade?
00:19:40What an ugly word to use, Randall.
00:19:43Okay?
00:19:43We're just trying to keep a relationship under wraps until tonight.
00:19:46Why?
00:19:47What's tonight?
00:19:49He's meeting her parents.
00:19:52Excuse us.
00:19:53There's something fishy.
00:19:56I'm gonna prove it.
00:19:58Good.
00:19:59You go ahead and prove it.
00:20:02Good seeing you again, Randall.
00:20:03New lens?
00:20:04Makes you look slimmer.
00:20:06Funny guy.
00:20:09Funny guy!
00:20:11What is that?
00:20:12A new briefcase?
00:20:16Tell me your parents live here.
00:20:18Okay, this is crazy.
00:20:19Could you please stop the car?
00:20:20I'm grateful for parents.
00:20:24Tell her.
00:20:25Did you really want me to answer that?
00:20:26Okay, enough.
00:20:27Both of you.
00:20:28Seriously.
00:20:29Could you stop the car, please?
00:20:33This is not going to work.
00:20:35I've never lied to them before.
00:20:37They'll know.
00:20:38What if we took them to Paris for dinner?
00:20:41You really do live in a different world.
00:20:44If we're going to do this and convince anyone that I'd actually go out with you,
00:20:47then we need to do normal things.
00:20:50What are normal things?
00:20:53Chestnuts, eggnog, secret Santa, any of that ring a bell?
00:20:57Besides, I have to help with the Christmas showcase.
00:21:00You can too, for a week.
00:21:02Pretend you are an average person who doesn't fly to Europe to have dinner.
00:21:06I don't see why we can't do both.
00:21:08Okay, this is over.
00:21:09Okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:21:11Do it your way.
00:21:13Then we can't show up in this car.
00:21:14Why?
00:21:16What's wrong with this car?
00:21:27Should we have called?
00:21:29Have you brought food or something?
00:21:30No, I'm not really.
00:21:31No, I have a key.
00:21:33Besides, my mom always has me low-carrying.
00:21:36Really?
00:21:36Always.
00:21:37And besides, we don't want to eat dinner here.
00:21:40We just want to make a quick introduction and we want to get up.
00:21:43Well, you have a very nice home.
00:22:03You make candles, right?
00:22:05That must be so interesting.
00:22:07How do you do it?
00:22:09We use wax.
00:22:11Right.
00:22:13So, how did you two meet each other?
00:22:18At school.
00:22:20At a school function.
00:22:22Oh, I didn't know you had a function at school.
00:22:25When was this?
00:22:28Recently.
00:22:33Forgive me, Chase, but I thought you didn't like the nightlies.
00:22:38Well, I guess she couldn't help but fall in love with me.
00:22:41Isn't that right, sweetie?
00:22:44How could I not?
00:22:45Yeah.
00:22:46Especially after you offered to build a new community center.
00:22:49Really?
00:22:50You're building a new center?
00:22:51Yes.
00:22:52With a large auditorium and a big gym and a swimming pool.
00:22:57Well, the plans are still in flux.
00:22:59Well, what's a few million dollars more when you're in love?
00:23:02Isn't that right?
00:23:02Mm-hmm.
00:23:03Mm-hmm.
00:23:03Mm-hmm.
00:23:04Sure.
00:23:04Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:23:07I don't understand.
00:23:11Three weeks ago, you and Andrew broke up because he wanted to take you to a nightly's ball.
00:23:18Now, that was just a function.
00:23:20And now, you're dating one.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:28Ever since she was about three years old, Georgia was begging us for a little brother, a little sister.
00:23:48Unfortunately, God's plan didn't see fit for us to have any more children.
00:23:52I'm sorry.
00:23:53Oh, no.
00:23:55No, she always loved kids.
00:23:57When she was one herself, as soon as she turned 12, she went and got her babysitter's license.
00:24:03I was looking after all the other kids in the neighborhood.
00:24:07She's the nicest person, the kindest heart, and I...
00:24:13Look, I just have one request.
00:24:18Please don't drag her into any of your scandals.
00:24:22All right?
00:24:24Because unlike you, she can't just hop on a plane and fly away from all of her problems.
00:24:30She has to live here in this town.
00:24:35Yeah.
00:24:41What's going on?
00:24:42Oh, nothing, Pumpkin.
00:24:44We're just chatting about Christmas.
00:24:46I hope you're being nice.
00:24:48Of course you are.
00:24:49Well, I'm going to go help your mother.
00:24:54Okay.
00:24:55It's good to talk.
00:24:56Thanks.
00:24:59Cute.
00:24:59Okay.
00:25:07On Christmas Eve, my father will announce the merger.
00:25:20And then you and I just have to make a quick appearance at the Christmas party.
00:25:23And then the next day, I'll tell the reporters that the pressure of dating Knightley was too much.
00:25:28And you want it to end things.
00:25:29No, no scandal, no story.
00:25:31Just please respect your privacy.
00:25:34And you really think that this is going to help the merger?
00:25:37It has to.
00:25:40Can't fail because of me.
00:25:42What happened?
00:25:43I jeopardized something my father worked on all year.
00:25:48Why?
00:25:53It doesn't matter.
00:25:54Can I ask you a question?
00:25:56Did you and Andrew really break up because of her Christmas ball?
00:25:59There were many reasons, but yes, it was one of them.
00:26:10You were unlike anyone I've ever met.
00:26:14Is that a good thing?
00:26:17I don't know here.
00:26:18We had a meatloaf.
00:26:38Meatloaf?
00:26:38Hmm.
00:26:39It was like meat in the shape of a loaf.
00:26:42I never would have guessed.
00:26:44It's actually pretty good.
00:26:45Oh, it's great.
00:26:46Glad to hear.
00:26:46It's...
00:26:47It's...
00:27:16What are you doing here?
00:27:21What is that?
00:27:23Can we come in?
00:27:27You do realize I have an actual job, right?
00:27:30Yeah, I spoke to your principal.
00:27:33She said, uh, since it's so close to the winter break, as long as the Christmas showcase is
00:27:38on track, she's okay with you taking a little bit of personal time.
00:27:41So you're organizing my life now?
00:27:44You'll get used to it.
00:27:45I'm glad you said that, actually.
00:27:46The PR team wants you to help out with the showcase.
00:27:49Painting sets.
00:27:50Anything that Miss Jackson deems necessary.
00:27:53Really?
00:27:54I can make you a list.
00:27:55Even you can follow.
00:27:59Remember, we're trying to rebuild your image here.
00:28:01Okay?
00:28:02Great.
00:28:04Why is your tree lying on the floor?
00:28:08Just haven't gotten around to decorating it yet.
00:28:12Totally normal.
00:28:13I also selected a couple of things that might help us actually sell this little fairy tale.
00:28:22Great.
00:28:23A new pantsuit.
00:28:26Where would I even wear this?
00:28:28As most of you know, Farrington Knightley Enterprises has been in talks with EDT International
00:28:33regarding a potential merger since January this year.
00:28:36Now, I am not permitted to divulge anything definitive on that matter,
00:28:39except to say that on Christmas Eve, before our annual Christmas Night Meagall,
00:28:45we'll have an official announcement you won't want to miss.
00:28:50Yes.
00:28:51Will there be EDT International representatives?
00:28:54Well, if I told you that, I'd be giving away the punchline.
00:28:58I guess the schoolteacher-girlfriend tactic worked.
00:29:02Not sure what you mean?
00:29:04Sure you do.
00:29:05Your sudden relationship with Georgia Jackson seems all too convenient and a little mismatched.
00:29:14Mismatched?
00:29:16Well, you must be referring to Georgia's grace and beauty against my many inadequate attributes.
00:29:21No.
00:29:22I'm referring to your wealth.
00:29:25As compared to her more humble station.
00:29:30Well, as far as I understand it, she doesn't hold my money against me.
00:29:33Well, if that should change, I'll let you know.
00:29:37But for now, I'm just thankful that we have the resources that allow us to build a new community center for this town
00:29:42at Georgia's past.
00:29:46When will the work begin?
00:29:47Is it going to be in the same location?
00:29:49Uh, in the new year, and yes, probably.
00:29:51I'm sorry, that's all the details I have at the moment.
00:29:54Thank you all for coming, and see you Saturday.
00:29:56One more.
00:29:57Oh, Miss Jackson.
00:29:59Did you have to convince Mr. Knightley to build the rec center?
00:30:03No.
00:30:04The Knightley family, and Chase in particular, would like to get deeper involved in communities
00:30:07across the country, starting with the states that they have a significant footprint in.
00:30:11Just one more question.
00:30:13What will you be wearing to the ball?
00:30:16I'm not sure, but when I find out, I can let you know.
00:30:20Okay.
00:30:20Thank you very much, everybody.
00:30:22Hey, um, we're going to have some, uh, exclusive, uh, photo opportunities this week coming up,
00:30:30starting tonight, if you're interested.
00:30:32Really?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:34Randall, grab a donut.
00:30:39My score.
00:30:41Thanks.
00:30:43You know, I can help you dig deeper, get to the heart of the story, if you'd like.
00:30:48I need all the help I can get.
00:30:50Well, I can be helpful sometime.
00:30:59You have to tell me everything!
00:31:04So, you get to keep all this?
00:31:06I don't know, I didn't ask.
00:31:08Okay, well, if you do, can I have this one?
00:31:10Sure.
00:31:11I-I don't know.
00:31:12Are you listening to a thing I'm saying?
00:31:14Of course I am.
00:31:15And?
00:31:16Uh, and I think I should have been the one to wait with Zoe.
00:31:21I'm serious.
00:31:23I'm serious, too.
00:31:25Georgia, you get to play Cinderella for a week.
00:31:29Do things that you would otherwise never get to do.
00:31:31Attend a literal ball with the most eligible bachelor in America.
00:31:36I'm sorry, but I failed to see the downside.
00:31:37The downside is, is that I'm lying to everyone.
00:31:42And I kind of agreed to not doing anything extravagant.
00:31:46Ugh, you were still the wrong girl for this.
00:31:48You know, I could switch, you know?
00:31:50I'm a school teacher.
00:31:52I just do it for the clothes.
00:31:54I can't wear this.
00:32:03I think it suits you.
00:32:05Do I have to?
00:32:07Well, we typically wear them while decorating our Christmas tree,
00:32:10but since you missed out on that...
00:32:12Looks like you're wearing it now.
00:32:17In public.
00:32:19You're loving it, aren't you?
00:32:20A little bit, yeah.
00:32:20Mm-hmm.
00:32:24Does your family have any Christmas traditions?
00:32:29Uh, not really.
00:32:31I mean, the Christmas nightly ball, I guess.
00:32:35Well, maybe you two can start some of your own.
00:32:39Mom, I don't think we're ready for that.
00:32:41Yeah, I'm not really a good traditions kind of guy.
00:32:45Traditions are how you make memories.
00:32:46It's how you build bonds with your family.
00:32:49Okay, okay.
00:32:51Let the boy be.
00:32:52I'm sure he has plenty of wonderful family memories, don't you?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:33:02Um.
00:33:07Oh, actually, one summer, I think I was like nine,
00:33:12um, I told my parents I wanted to go camping.
00:33:14So we rented a camper and went to this lake in Oklahoma where nobody knew us.
00:33:20And, uh, me and my dad just fished all day.
00:33:26And then at night, we all just sat by the fire.
00:33:30No phones, no emails, nothing.
00:33:33Just the three of us.
00:33:34Yeah, it's probably my favorite family memory.
00:33:41That sounds lovely, doesn't it?
00:33:51Speaking of tradition...
00:33:52Super embarrassing.
00:33:54We could probably skip over it this year.
00:33:56Uh, no, not a chance.
00:33:57What is it?
00:33:59Each year, we buy her a special ornament to serve as a kind of memory of that year.
00:34:05Do you remember this one?
00:34:08Was that last year?
00:34:09No, no.
00:34:10That was this one.
00:34:13I had a three-legged squirrel in the attic.
00:34:15Is it still there?
00:34:16Oh, no.
00:34:16She moved out.
00:34:17But she comes to visit every now and then.
00:34:19How perfect is this?
00:34:21Oh, no.
00:34:22Oh, come on.
00:34:22It's such a cute story.
00:34:24Tell me.
00:34:24When Georgia was about three, we took her to see the ice capades.
00:34:28Well, she was obsessed with it, right?
00:34:31So we enrolled her in a skating class.
00:34:33But when we picked her up after the first class, she was on the verge of tears.
00:34:38Apparently, based on her experience of watching the ice capades,
00:34:41she was expecting flowers to be thrown at her feet.
00:34:45And felt cheated.
00:34:46All she got was a hot chocolate.
00:34:48You knew what you were worth.
00:34:50Uh-huh.
00:34:51What?
00:34:53Wow.
00:34:54I'm not going to hear the end of this, am I?
00:34:56Probably not.
00:34:57Give me that ornament.
00:35:01Wow.
00:35:03Kind of looks like you, too.
00:35:04Cute.
00:35:05Beautiful.
00:35:11Hello.
00:35:12This is Randall Mumphrey.
00:35:14I'm with the Gazette.
00:35:15I'd like to speak to the director of the community center.
00:35:19Could you, uh, point me in that direction?
00:35:22It's about the recent donation from the Knightley family.
00:35:27Oh.
00:35:28I'll hold.
00:35:28Explain to me again how this is all going to work out.
00:35:40It's magic.
00:35:41It's magic.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45So we basically line each side on the inside with some wet cardboard and some adhesive.
00:35:50And then we put it together and let it dry overnight.
00:35:52Once it's dry, we put papier-mâché over it, and then we sand it, and then we paint it.
00:35:58Okay.
00:36:00What animal is this?
00:36:02A dire wolf.
00:36:04There's a dire wolf in the manger?
00:36:06With a camel and sheep.
00:36:08Cool.
00:36:09I'm sure this is all going to look great.
00:36:11I'm already such a critic.
00:36:12What I'm trying to do is create a magical desert night with maybe some moonlight above.
00:36:19So, can I, um, leave you alone with this?
00:36:22Alone?
00:36:23Why?
00:36:23I have to go teach some young minds about Mesopotamia.
00:36:26Besides, Brayden can help.
00:36:29I have no idea how, so...
00:36:31See how easy that is?
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:45Okay, um...
00:36:48Can you hold this thing for a second?
00:36:49I hate anything messy.
00:36:51Sticky.
00:36:52Oh!
00:36:52Tackle foul!
00:36:53Tie guy!
00:36:54Get that!
00:36:56Ooh, you know what?
00:36:57You're going to really want to soak that cardboard, okay?
00:36:59It makes it easier to mold.
00:37:00Yeah, but, uh, surprise myself sometimes.
00:37:03Hey, uh, Ms. Jackson didn't happen to, uh, mention that I could be an invaluable addition
00:37:09to the showcase, has she?
00:37:11I mean, you guys may remember me from my voice.
00:37:14Are you having fun?
00:37:17Ladies and gentlemen, let's make some noise!
00:37:23No, she hasn't mentioned anything.
00:37:26Oh, okay, cool.
00:37:28Probably, uh, probably just slipped her mind, you know?
00:37:30She's busy.
00:37:31I get it.
00:37:32Uh, let me cut out the middleman.
00:37:33Oh, that's me.
00:37:34Coach Brown.
00:37:34Coach, teacher, DJ.
00:37:36Uh, gonna need you to clean this up, though.
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:39Look, I got a basketball game tomorrow.
00:37:41I can't have the kids sticking to the floor, okay?
00:37:42I want to see some hustle and some elbow grease.
00:37:45Go!
00:37:45All right, let's go!
00:37:46Go, go, go, go, go!
00:37:51Wait a minute.
00:37:55Why do you have a leg?
00:37:56That's too many legs.
00:37:57This is an arm.
00:37:57What?
00:37:59It's an arm.
00:38:00I didn't get you.
00:38:02I'd ask how it went, but...
00:38:05We're hoping that the paint will help identify the creatures.
00:38:08So what you're saying is we should have had the kids do this?
00:38:12Probably.
00:38:19Hi, I'm Brayden.
00:38:22Brayden Winthrop.
00:38:23Uh, Nikki Finley.
00:38:25I'm not normally sticky.
00:38:31Uh, so you're the one that orchestrated this little charade.
00:38:36Why does everyone keep calling it that?
00:38:39Which reminds me, actually, Georgia,
00:38:40we should really have a discussion around the secret nature of this secret.
00:38:45Oh, I won't tell anyone, I promise.
00:38:49Hey, so, um, we obviously need to clean this up.
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:53I need to get changed.
00:38:55But, um, I was wondering if you'd be free this evening.
00:38:59Why?
00:39:01It's kind of a surprise.
00:39:03What if I don't like surprises?
00:39:06I think you might like this one.
00:39:10Keep me closed.
00:39:11Closed.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:13Almost there.
00:39:15You said that about an hour ago.
00:39:16Oh, that was like two minutes ago.
00:39:18Okay.
00:39:19Keep me closed.
00:39:20Closed.
00:39:21Shut up.
00:39:22To your left.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:25Ready?
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:36How did you get my shoe size?
00:39:38Well, I have my waist and maybe an ally.
00:39:43My mother.
00:39:45I'll never reveal my source.
00:39:47Hmm.
00:39:48Mm-hmm.
00:39:49I figure you should continue your adventures in figure skating.
00:39:53Is that what you think?
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:55Impressive.
00:40:02I mean, there's no ice to take, but...
00:40:04You're never going to let that one go, are you?
00:40:06There's no way.
00:40:08I could teach you a few things, maybe.
00:40:11Okay.
00:40:11Maybe we should start by teaching you how to skate backwards.
00:40:16That would be handy.
00:40:17Okay.
00:40:19Nice.
00:40:19Nice.
00:40:20Nice.
00:40:20Nice.
00:40:21Yeah, you got it.
00:40:25Wow.
00:40:26You are a very fast learner.
00:40:29I think so.
00:40:31Very impressive.
00:40:33Don't move.
00:40:34Where are you going?
00:40:35Don't move.
00:40:36Oh, my God.
00:40:49Wow.
00:40:50I believe this is what should happen every time you step on the ice.
00:40:53Exactly.
00:40:54Even beginners deserve flowers, right?
00:40:57That's all I was trying to say.
00:40:58But I am curious.
00:41:00What would I get if I wasn't a beginner?
00:41:03Like if you did little spins?
00:41:05Yeah.
00:41:07Um...
00:41:08Let's see.
00:41:11$32 and a gummack.
00:41:13That's it?
00:41:14That's all I have.
00:41:15What about a new hockey rink?
00:41:20You just learned how to skate backwards.
00:41:22Then you should have nothing to worry about.
00:41:26Okay.
00:41:27For one properly executed jump, you can have hockey rink.
00:41:32I guess you didn't stop your skating lessons, huh?
00:41:46You should see your face right now.
00:41:49I can't wait for that new hockey rink.
00:41:51Oh, boy.
00:41:59Keep digging.
00:42:00I know they're lying about that relationship.
00:42:04But is that the story we want to write about?
00:42:07Shouldn't we chase a story about the merger?
00:42:08Trust me.
00:42:10It'll affect the merger.
00:42:14I think I'll be keeping these photos to myself from now on.
00:42:17I don't need any more advice.
00:42:19You'll never get a real story that way.
00:42:20Okay, fine.
00:42:26I'll do it myself.
00:42:27Hey, Brayden.
00:42:42I'm skating with Georgia, and you're on speakerphone.
00:42:44Skating?
00:42:46Is Brooke there?
00:42:48No.
00:42:49Why?
00:42:50Okay.
00:42:51Maybe you two don't understand this,
00:42:53but this whole arrangement works for one reason
00:42:56and one reason only, okay?
00:42:58This would have been a really amazing PR opportunity for us.
00:43:02Yeah, I understand that, but she wasn't available, okay?
00:43:11Georgia.
00:43:11No, you have to smooth it out,
00:43:24or it'll be lumpy when it dries.
00:43:28You're not very good at this.
00:43:31I'm not, am I?
00:43:33You weren't very good at soaking the cardboard, either.
00:43:36Nope.
00:43:38That's okay.
00:43:40My mom says you just have to find the thing that you're good at.
00:43:42That's all.
00:43:43So, what are you good at?
00:43:45Um, well, I'm a lawyer.
00:43:49Well, are you good at lawyering?
00:43:51I don't know, actually.
00:43:53Well, at least you're sort of helping us now.
00:43:56I think I should qualify to it, sort of.
00:43:58I'm telling you, being a teacher is humbling in so many ways.
00:44:03Bye, my dad's here.
00:44:04Oh, okay.
00:44:05Bye-bye.
00:44:06Bye.
00:44:09You're good.
00:44:12The best.
00:44:14So, listen, um, I have to go, too.
00:44:16My parents are coming to help me decorate my Christmas tree.
00:44:21Are you going to be okay on your own?
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:26Yeah.
00:44:27Okay.
00:44:29Do you want to join us?
00:44:31Before you answer that, you should know there will be no PR.
00:44:34That's even better.
00:44:35I love that.
00:44:35Can we talk about that?
00:44:37You don't have to explain yourself.
00:44:39Just remember to wear your sweater.
00:44:41Okay.
00:44:50Before we plan the future.
00:44:51So, um, listen, I heard you talking about how much you liked going camping and all that.
00:45:04I got to thinking, maybe in the summertime, if you're back here, you and I could go.
00:45:10You know, I know a couple of good spots for fishing.
00:45:13That'd be great.
00:45:14Now, it's nothing fancy.
00:45:16I just, I just use an old tent.
00:45:18That's fine.
00:45:19I love old tents.
00:45:21All right, great.
00:45:21Well, you know, we get up early enough.
00:45:24We could catch ourselves a mighty nice trout.
00:45:26Really?
00:45:27Mm-hmm.
00:45:29What's a fish?
00:45:29A trout.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:39Well, thanks for inviting me.
00:45:41I've actually never decorated a Christmas tree before.
00:45:45Seriously?
00:45:45My mom would just hire service to put all the decorations up and then take them down.
00:45:51Oh.
00:45:54Thank you for organizing this.
00:45:57What do you mean?
00:45:58I just showed up.
00:45:59My mom told me.
00:46:01Oh.
00:46:01Yeah.
00:46:01Well, I didn't want you to be without a Christmas tree.
00:46:14I should probably go.
00:46:16Hey, can I ask you a question?
00:46:19Sure.
00:46:21I'm having a hard time reconciling the guy in the tabloids with the guy standing right in front of me.
00:46:26It's not a question.
00:46:30Why do you do this?
00:46:32I mean, you must know that the press is going to have a field day with it.
00:46:36Yeah, well, apparently photos of me partying sell magazines.
00:46:39Why do you play into it?
00:46:41I mean, why all the partying?
00:46:44You mean, like, why don't I do something constructive with my life?
00:46:46It's just, I feel like you're capable of so much more.
00:46:56Thanks.
00:47:04Tonight it almost felt real.
00:47:05Hello, it's Randall.
00:47:22Hey, thank you for calling me back.
00:47:25Yeah, I just wanted to ask you some questions about the donation.
00:47:32Uh-huh.
00:47:34Uh-huh.
00:47:35They're here.
00:47:50Well, this can't be good.
00:47:54Evie!
00:47:56Sir?
00:47:57Oh, nice sweater.
00:47:59Oh, thanks.
00:48:02You, uh, came home early?
00:48:03Just a couple of days.
00:48:04We missed you.
00:48:05I missed you too.
00:48:09And we wanted to hear about Georgia.
00:48:12Oh, and why are we building a rec center here?
00:48:14I thought we already had one.
00:48:17Why don't we take a seat, sit down, talk to us?
00:48:21Okay.
00:48:23So, who is this Georgia?
00:48:26I've asked around and she's not in any of our circles.
00:48:28Barrington.
00:48:29We just want to know more about her, that's all.
00:48:34Well, she's smart, kind, beautiful.
00:48:39And she's great with kids.
00:48:42She seems very different from the kind of girls you usually date.
00:48:47She is.
00:48:48In a good way.
00:48:49Um, since you're here early, could we maybe talk about the merger?
00:48:57Yeah, sure.
00:48:58Things have calmed down a bit.
00:48:59We should be able to sign a schedule.
00:49:01I'm not talking about that.
00:49:03I just...
00:49:04I don't think that the way this deal is structured is great for either one of us.
00:49:10Have you had a chance to look at my numbers?
00:49:11No, I have not.
00:49:13But Sam said to you, I could change anything.
00:49:14I gave those to you months ago.
00:49:16There will be other opportunities.
00:49:19Right.
00:49:19Oh, and son, have you, uh, asked Georgia to attend the press conference?
00:49:24It'd be good for the cameras.
00:49:28Yes, she'll be there.
00:49:29Oh, and do we really have to build the new rec center?
00:49:32Yes, father.
00:49:34We do.
00:49:39I don't know.
00:49:41So I was thinking we'll just put this dire donkey sort of tucked behind everything.
00:49:45So, you know, maybe, just maybe, no one will realize that it's not an animal that exists in nature.
00:49:53Chase?
00:49:55You know, I like a dire donkey.
00:49:58Hmm.
00:49:59It's cool.
00:49:59Hello.
00:50:01Sir.
00:50:02Um, Georgia, these, uh, these are my parents, even Barrington Knightley.
00:50:08This is Georgia.
00:50:10So great to meet you both.
00:50:11Thank you so much for donating this new facility.
00:50:14It's really going to help us.
00:50:15It is our pleasure.
00:50:17You are utterly charming, my dear.
00:50:19No wonder the press are gushing about you.
00:50:22Well, don't believe everything you read.
00:50:25This is just wonderful.
00:50:28Well, your son helped with it.
00:50:30In fact, he's an integral part of it.
00:50:33What are you doing here?
00:50:34Oh, just thought we'd come by, see what you've been keeping yourself busy with.
00:50:38What kind of animal is that?
00:50:40I'm sure the children made those, darling.
00:50:43Did you make this?
00:50:47Yes.
00:50:48Apparently I did.
00:50:50See?
00:50:50You've got to find someone else to harass.
00:50:56I've got to hand it to you.
00:50:59I'm really impressed with how far you'll go to prove this thing is real.
00:51:02Well, because you and I both know it isn't.
00:51:08Mr. Michaels, the director of this place, he didn't find out about the donation until the press conference.
00:51:15So I've got to ask myself, how does that make sense?
00:51:20Unless it's a last-minute idea you had to save the merger?
00:51:27Actually, that was my fault.
00:51:30I wanted it to be a surprise.
00:51:32Now, if you'll excuse us, we actually have a lot of work to do before the showcase.
00:51:36Here's an idea.
00:51:37Why don't you write about that?
00:51:39People donating their time.
00:51:41Sounds like a great Christmas story.
00:51:45This isn't over.
00:51:49Not by a long shot.
00:51:56What's going on?
00:51:58Why would he think that your relationship's not real?
00:52:01It's just Randall being Randall, sir.
00:52:03Needs a headline.
00:52:05I'm afraid that's something you must get used to if you're around us.
00:52:08I've heard that Chase has met your parents.
00:52:11Yes, he has.
00:52:12And I would love for the two of you to meet them as well, if you had the time.
00:52:16Of course, we would love to meet them.
00:52:19Wouldn't we, Barrington?
00:52:21Yes, we would.
00:52:24I have an idea.
00:52:25So, Barrington.
00:52:56Chase tells me you like fishing.
00:52:58I do.
00:52:59I haven't gone for, well, I can't remember how many years now.
00:53:03Probably when we were in Oklahoma.
00:53:06Well, he speaks very highly of your camping trip.
00:53:09Maybe when you're all back here, you know, in the summer, we could all go together.
00:53:13I'd like that.
00:53:18I kind of thought we'd all be building one gingerbread house together.
00:53:22But it's kind of hard when we all have a different skill level.
00:53:25Oh, wow.
00:53:26Oh, she's competitive.
00:53:28I like it.
00:53:30You have no idea.
00:53:31No.
00:53:32Hey.
00:53:32I'm afraid Chase has fallen victim to another one of George's hustles.
00:53:37Really?
00:53:38Yeah, let's just say the Rex Center now has a hockey ring.
00:53:42Oh.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:43I can't believe you did it.
00:53:52I know.
00:53:53We got your parents to make a gingerbread house.
00:53:56No, I'm not talking about that.
00:53:58Um, you and your parents got a dinner invite.
00:54:00That never happens.
00:54:04You always win this trophy, don't you?
00:54:05Yeah, I do.
00:54:08I suspect a French judge.
00:54:11Are you serious?
00:54:13Look at my house and look at yours.
00:54:15Look at the detailing.
00:54:16I want fair and square.
00:54:17Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:18I just think mine shows a little more imagination.
00:54:21You know, there's a certain, uh, chintziquet.
00:54:24It's a bit of a mess.
00:54:26Yeah.
00:54:28I think Zoe would be very disappointed again.
00:54:34What do you think they're talking about over there?
00:54:36No way.
00:54:39McGaffney has destroyed every backer who's even tried to cover him.
00:54:43And our defense crushed your quarterback.
00:54:46My friend, your team is four and eight.
00:54:49There's no coming back from that.
00:54:51I know.
00:54:52I know.
00:54:54Why did they actually become friends?
00:54:59Yeah, that would complicate things.
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:06Oh, come on.
00:55:11Hey.
00:55:12Sorry, man.
00:55:13Yeah.
00:55:14Hey, aren't you Georgia Jackson's ex-boyfriend?
00:55:19Yeah, why?
00:55:20I'm a reporter doing an article on her, a background piece.
00:55:24What she's like, what kind of person she is.
00:55:26A feel-good piece.
00:55:28Could I ask you a few questions?
00:55:30You probably know her better than anyone.
00:55:33Yeah, I suppose I do.
00:55:36I mean, were you surprised to find out she was dating Chase, even after refusing him to go to their ball?
00:55:44See, that's the thing, because it's like they're making it up, just on the spot.
00:55:47I wonder why they did that.
00:55:49I don't know, because she was happy when Megan told her that we were engaged.
00:55:52But then all of a sudden Chase shows up out of nowhere.
00:55:54Now I hear he's at the community center all the time.
00:55:59Now that's interesting.
00:56:03That's really interesting.
00:56:05Okay, keep your eyes closed.
00:56:06Okay, okay.
00:56:07Okay, wait, wait.
00:56:10All right, Zoe.
00:56:11Okay.
00:56:12You can open them.
00:56:13Oh, it's perfect.
00:56:18I was missing that wow factor that I tried to create.
00:56:20No, are you kidding?
00:56:21It's amazing.
00:56:23Oh, thank you so much.
00:56:25Oh.
00:56:26And I heard you were the lead animal wrangler?
00:56:29Yeah.
00:56:30I mean, Zoe had to tell a little bit, right?
00:56:33That is true, but you are showing great promise.
00:56:36Thanks.
00:56:36Uh, I'm afraid we have to get going.
00:56:39I've got a lot to do before dinner, so.
00:56:41Are you sure you have to leave?
00:56:42Yeah, unfortunately.
00:56:44Well, I too have to bring this girly girl home.
00:56:47All right.
00:56:48All right.
00:56:57What is that?
00:56:59A dire donkey.
00:57:04Dad.
00:57:06Miss Jackson?
00:57:09Yes?
00:57:10Do you like Mr. Knightley?
00:57:14Sure, I guess.
00:57:15Why do you ask?
00:57:16I know you're only pretending to be dating him, because he overheard my uncle tell you that
00:57:21he just got engaged.
00:57:23They don't miss a beat.
00:57:26Don't worry.
00:57:27I know it's a secret, and I promise not to tell anyone, but I think Mr. Knightley really
00:57:32likes you.
00:57:33Well, thank you, Zoe.
00:57:35But it is just an arrangement.
00:57:37I don't think we're going to be seeing much of each other after Christmas.
00:57:40You ready?
00:57:42See you later.
00:57:42I know you're only pretending to be dating, because he overheard my uncle tell you that
00:58:03he's just got engaged.
00:58:05Gotcha.
00:58:06Gotcha.
00:58:13I don't have to tell you how important this dinner is to the merger, do I?
00:58:16No, you don't, sir.
00:58:17Okay, I'll see you downstairs, son.
00:58:28Raiden, our guest arrived in ten minutes.
00:58:31Great.
00:58:35You all right?
00:58:37Yeah, why?
00:58:37You must be looking forward to have this whole merger behind us.
00:58:49Well, don't beware not to see her every day.
00:58:54Well, maybe it doesn't have to end.
00:59:00Maybe after the merger it could become something real.
00:59:04Yeah, I don't think so.
00:59:10I'm sure she can't wait for this to be over.
00:59:12Can't wait for this to be over.
00:59:14I have a really bad feeling about it.
00:59:17It's going to be fine.
00:59:18You said they liked each other.
00:59:20I know, it's just the Knightleys have dinners with presidents of small countries, and we make
00:59:25scented candles.
00:59:26Uh, there's nothing wrong with scented candles.
00:59:28They bring so much joy.
00:59:29And maybe, when this fake relationship is over, you two could really date.
00:59:35Right.
00:59:36And how do you expect me to compete with this?
00:59:42With what?
00:59:43Come on, I'm nothing like them.
00:59:45Uh, Georgia.
00:59:47If you wanted that, he would just have that.
00:59:51Okay, well, let's not forget.
00:59:53He's only with me to close the deal.
00:59:54Well, you better enjoy every last minute of it until it's over.
01:00:01And, Georgia, um, this is a very impressive collection of magazines with Chase Knightley's
01:00:07face on them for someone who supposedly hates Chase Knightley.
01:00:10Have you just planned a spectacular menu for this evening?
01:00:28Ah!
01:00:29Welcome!
01:00:30So nice to see you again.
01:00:33Let me introduce you to the Fortunes.
01:00:37These are the Jacksons and their daughter, Georgia.
01:00:39It's very nice to meet you.
01:00:42So lovely to meet you.
01:00:43It's lovely to meet you, too.
01:00:45Well, how about I trade you those coats for a glass of champagne?
01:00:49That's a good deal.
01:00:49Follow me, please.
01:00:52You're here?
01:00:54I am.
01:00:57Welcome to our humble abode.
01:00:59I know.
01:01:00I'm surprised you'd even want to entertain in this shack.
01:01:03Well, we're known for being lies.
01:01:05Open here.
01:01:08Um, I think the Fortunes like you more than me.
01:01:14Really?
01:01:15I don't blame you.
01:01:19You'd be interested to hear your thoughts on production moving China.
01:01:23Uh, Chase wasn't involved in the crafting of that agreement.
01:01:27Oh.
01:01:29I see.
01:01:30Uh, well, perhaps we can benefit from your input in the future.
01:01:33We've always held that it's the highest honor to serve the family business.
01:01:37Yes, sir.
01:01:40Mrs. Knightley, this looks wonderful.
01:01:42Thank you, Georgia.
01:01:43We have a terrific chef from Budapest.
01:01:46I'll give him your compliments.
01:01:48But I made tonight's dessert all by myself.
01:01:54Mm-hmm.
01:01:54The kitchen staff were a little scared, I think.
01:01:57Can't wait to taste it.
01:02:00Me too.
01:02:00Mm-hmm.
01:02:01This wine is actually from one of our vineyards in Italy.
01:02:04What is it again, honey?
01:02:05I told you it wasn't over.
01:02:07I knew you only met Georgia that night.
01:02:10You orchestrated this lie so Mr. Fortune wouldn't back out of the merger.
01:02:15I knew you wouldn't date someone like her, and she wouldn't date you.
01:02:19I spoke to her ex-boyfriend.
01:02:22You want to know what she thinks of all of you?
01:02:24She thinks you're what's wrong with America.
01:02:27Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:02:31I can't understand why you'd agree to something like this.
01:02:33I mean, for sure, the new community center.
01:02:38But what possible circumstances could get him to pitch this idea to you?
01:02:44Then?
01:02:47I know you'll be pretending to be dating.
01:02:50Because he overheard my uncle tell you that he just got engaged.
01:02:55I couldn't have come up with anything juicier.
01:02:57What do you want?
01:02:58From you?
01:03:00Nothing.
01:03:01The article will run tomorrow.
01:03:02Your tarnished image will get even more degraded.
01:03:05But you, give me an exclusive interview about your week with Chase,
01:03:10and I'll make sure the video link doesn't get into the article.
01:03:15You're despicable.
01:03:18And I can't wait to see you at the press conference.
01:03:20In light of this new information,
01:03:22we've decided this merger is no longer in our best interest.
01:03:25Mr. Fortune, if I may.
01:03:26I know we'll be leaving first thing in the morning.
01:03:28Oops.
01:03:34Escort him out.
01:03:42I can't believe this.
01:03:46You lied.
01:03:48Into my face.
01:03:52I'm sorry.
01:03:53I'm sorry.
01:04:02He knew how much this meant to me.
01:04:04Yes, he did.
01:04:06Then why? Why would he do something like this?
01:04:08Why do you think?
01:04:10You may not see this, but he was trying to help.
01:04:13Couldn't he find a more traditional way to help?
01:04:15He's got an MBA from Harvard, a law degree from Yale?
01:04:18Surely he could've come up with something more constructive.
01:04:21Yes, all that knowledge and nowhere to apply it.
01:04:25What are you talking about?
01:04:27Did you even look at his analysis?
01:04:29No, you didn't.
01:04:31You'd rather listen to anyone else,
01:04:33even though they've got half as much knowledge as Chase.
01:04:36That's not true.
01:04:37And before you say anything,
01:04:38yes, I know he's made some bad choices,
01:04:41but you need to take a look at your part in this.
01:04:51Chilling cocaine
01:04:54...
01:04:55...
01:05:10How you doin'?
01:05:13Good.
01:05:18I don't know, I broomed a merger my father spent an entire year working on, and I plucked
01:05:29a sweet and kind girl from obscurity and made her into a punchline.
01:05:37Whatever happens to her is on me.
01:05:41Look, you know, everything's gonna calm down, all right, maybe not today or soon, but eventually
01:05:47everything will go back to normal for her and for you.
01:05:49Yeah, I don't want things to go back to normal.
01:05:51If this week has taught me anything, it's that I want to do something with my life.
01:05:58Okay.
01:06:01Okay.
01:06:03Whatever you need, I'm here.
01:06:06Thanks.
01:06:09You know you've been like a dad to me.
01:06:12I am not even that old.
01:06:15You're pretty old.
01:06:16Old soul.
01:06:17You're getting old.
01:06:18It's not the same.
01:06:19It's the wrinkles.
01:06:20What?
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:23The smell of the pines fill in the air.
01:06:30Folks downtown shopping and snow in your head.
01:06:36All of the ones that we love are coming home.
01:06:48Kids with their lists for the big man.
01:06:55Wow.
01:06:56I believe this is what should happen every time you step up.
01:06:58Exactly.
01:06:59Even beginners dessert flowers, right?
01:07:00I think that this feeling is Christmas.
01:07:06Snow-covered trees in the air.
01:07:10She's got it as I like it.
01:07:12You have no idea.
01:07:13No.
01:07:14Hey.
01:07:15This feeling is Christmas.
01:07:18It's feeling like Christmas.
01:07:20It's feeling all right.
01:07:23I wish I had read this analysis when you gave it to me.
01:07:38You're right.
01:07:39Kevin's ideas, they were short sighted.
01:07:44Yeah, I mean, he didn't take into account the highly fluctuating exchange rate, which if
01:07:50done properly you can actually take advantage of.
01:07:55So, what would you do?
01:08:06Well, I'd combine your buying power like Kevin suggested, but I'd keep aspects of the manufacturing in our own countries.
01:08:16Each taking advantage of our own strengths.
01:08:18So, only manufacture the parts that are cost effective?
01:08:22Yes.
01:08:23And then the tax credits would offset the premiums and the costs, and we could keep all of the jobs in our own countries.
01:08:35I have an idea.
01:08:37But I'm gonna need your help.
01:08:39Okay.
01:08:48Thank you for coming out again at such a late hour.
01:09:00I thought I made myself very clear.
01:09:02You certainly did.
01:09:03And I suspect that it was so easy for you to walk away from this merger because it wasn't a very good deal for either of us.
01:09:13Earlier, you asked Chase what he thought about the merger.
01:09:16And to be honest, he gave me an analysis months ago, and I didn't read it until tonight.
01:09:21I'd like you to hear him out.
01:09:23We've got some great ideas.
01:09:26What are we waiting for?
01:09:42Thank you, Barrington, for having me back. It was well worth my time.
01:09:45Thank you for coming back.
01:09:48And you, when you conduct your business with honor, you have a bright future ahead of you.
01:09:53Thank you, sir.
01:09:54I think so, too.
01:09:55Gentlemen.
01:09:56Gentlemen.
01:10:13Yes!
01:10:17You did it.
01:10:18Oh!
01:10:19We did it.
01:10:20Son.
01:10:21You saved the market.
01:10:25Yeah, baby.
01:10:28Next time.
01:10:30Now go get some rest.
01:10:31Because we've got a big day tomorrow!
01:10:35Oh!
01:10:36Braden, do you have to have that business card of that recorder?
01:10:47I don't think I've seen your father that pleased since I've met him.
01:10:52You did well.
01:10:55Thanks.
01:10:56I just wish we could make it up to Georgia.
01:11:02Yeah.
01:11:04Well, you know, thanks to you, there's a new species of animal in the manger.
01:11:10Yeah, exactly.
01:11:17I think I have a crazy idea.
01:11:19No more crazy ideas, please.
01:11:21Oh, no, this is a good one.
01:11:23Yeah, we're doing it.
01:11:24Come on.
01:11:25I don't want it.
01:11:26Hey.
01:11:40Did you read it?
01:11:42In the five seconds since you've sent it?
01:11:44The merger was signed earlier this morning and Chase was named the COO.
01:11:49That's great.
01:11:51I'm so happy for him.
01:11:53Okay, there's one more thing.
01:11:54What's that?
01:11:56How fast can you get down here?
01:11:59Why?
01:12:00Just get here.
01:12:02Okay, but I want to watch the press conference first.
01:12:04I want to see what Randall has to say.
01:12:06Randall wasn't there.
01:12:08That's what I'm trying to tell you.
01:12:11Hey.
01:12:22Oh, did you not get the new start time?
01:12:24I'm sorry about that.
01:12:26You can't keep me away.
01:12:27I have the right to report the news.
01:12:29Yes, of course.
01:12:30You can print whatever you want about us because we are news, I suppose.
01:12:35But come on, man.
01:12:37That recording in Georgia is just sleazy.
01:12:40It's neither news nor is it newsworthy.
01:12:42You were using it to bully her.
01:12:45The whole idea for this relationship was mine.
01:12:48Print that if you want.
01:12:50But I'd be careful.
01:12:52You know, you and I both know there is a nine-year-old child in that video whose parents gave no consent.
01:12:57So I'm sure you wouldn't post something like that because you know a lawyer would have no problem bankrupting you and ending your career over something like this.
01:13:07And as you may recall, Randall, I am a lawyer.
01:13:13Ready?
01:13:14And by the way, she's getting the exclusive.
01:13:20Sorry, Randall.
01:13:21Looks like I have a real story to report.
01:13:23Who did this?
01:13:40Braden and Chase.
01:13:42When?
01:13:43They finished it this morning, according to Coach Brown.
01:13:47It's beautiful.
01:13:48It doesn't mean anything, though.
01:13:55On what planet?
01:13:57Georgia?
01:13:59He did this because he's fallen in love with you.
01:14:02Have you seen his girlfriends? I am nothing like them.
01:14:05Georgia.
01:14:06Even Randall thinks that I'm not someone he'd ever date.
01:14:09Randall. You're gonna go by what Randall said?
01:14:13Do you like him?
01:14:16Randall?
01:14:17No.
01:14:18Chase!
01:14:22Yeah.
01:14:24Then go talk to him.
01:14:25I can't.
01:14:27Yes, you can.
01:14:28What about...
01:14:29What?
01:14:31I've got this.
01:14:33Go!
01:14:38Yeah!
01:14:44I'm gonna fix it.
01:14:53Barreton?
01:14:54Yes?
01:14:56What's happened to the lights?
01:14:57Chase.
01:14:59He donated them to the community center.
01:15:03Oh.
01:15:04I think it's a good idea.
01:15:06Well, all right then.
01:15:08Chase.
01:15:09Chase.
01:15:14I know I don't say it often.
01:15:16But I am proud of you.
01:15:18Thanks, Dad.
01:15:20Have you talked to her?
01:15:23There's not much to say.
01:15:24She probably never wants to see me again and I don't blame her.
01:15:30I saw you two last night.
01:15:32And by the way she looks at you, I don't think that's true.
01:15:37That's true.
01:15:48Your father's right.
01:15:50You should go talk to her.
01:15:54We'll hold down the fort here.
01:15:55Just go.
01:15:57I don't even know where she is.
01:16:00It's Christmas Eve.
01:16:03The community center.
01:16:07Go get her.
01:16:08Christmas tree.
01:16:14Oh, Christmas tree.
01:16:15Oh, Christmas tree.
01:16:16How lovely are thy branches.
01:16:22Oh, Christmas tree.
01:16:24Oh, Christmas tree.
01:16:27How lovely are thy branches.
01:16:31The pillars all please faithfully.
01:16:34I believe our trust in God unchangingly.
01:16:39Oh, Christmas tree of Christmas.
01:16:43Vicki.
01:16:44Chase, what are you doing here?
01:16:46Is she in there?
01:16:46No, she's gone to see you.
01:16:49Chase.
01:16:51Go get her.
01:16:53Yeah, that's it.
01:16:54Yeah, yeah.
01:17:04No, she's gone.
01:17:34You're here.
01:17:43I am.
01:17:44I wanted to talk to you.
01:17:47Me too.
01:17:48I went all the way back to the rec center.
01:17:51You did?
01:17:52I did.
01:17:53Because I wanted to tell you that this was the best Christmas I've ever had.
01:17:59Asking you to pretend to be my girlfriend was my best on my day ever because I got to know you.
01:18:08I'm nothing like the other women you date.
01:18:11I can't compete with them.
01:18:13No, you're right.
01:18:14You're beautiful.
01:18:15Kind.
01:18:16Smart.
01:18:17Passionate.
01:18:18Georgia.
01:18:19You're the most amazing woman I've ever met.
01:18:24You have no competition.
01:18:26You're the most amazing woman.
01:18:44You're the most amazing person.
01:18:51Oh, so he, um, pitched me an idea and then just gave me his card.
01:18:55What idea?
01:18:57Well, you see, he thought that what this party needed was an emcee.
01:19:02Oh, no.
01:19:03Oh, yeah.
01:19:04What?
01:19:05Oh, yeah.
01:19:06Oh!
01:19:08Hey, let's give it up for DJ Sam.
01:19:10He's spitting fire tonight.
01:19:13Woo!
01:19:14You guys having a good time?
01:19:16Woo!
01:19:17I can't hear you.
01:19:19Are you having a good time?
01:19:22Woo!
01:19:22All right.
01:19:24You guys want more?
01:19:26Woo!
01:19:27DJ, drop it like it's hot.
