00:00Us, Hillary.
00:02I don't think we're going to work.
00:04What?
00:06Look, I need a partner in life.
00:08A wife who's going to go where I need to go
00:11and do what I need to do
00:12and be excited about my accomplishments.
00:14I can't get dragged down by somebody
00:15who's out saving dogs and cats
00:16and God knows what else.
00:20Jason, is this about moving to Pittsburgh?
00:23I'll move to Pittsburgh.
00:26A new VP position opened up in our Pittsburgh office
00:29and I guarantee I'm the top pick for this position.
00:31We have a life here.
00:34What am I going to do with Pittsburgh?
00:37Look, I just, I have to stay focused
00:40and mobile to advance in my career.
00:42I got to keep my priorities straight.
00:43Believe me, this is one of those tough decisions,
00:45but it's for the best, for both of us.
00:49I just, I can't make a mistake.
00:51Not now.
00:57What did I pick up?
00:59A mistake.
01:02Just, I have to get this.
01:05Just, just, just.
01:07Go for King.
01:09No, no, no.
01:10That is exactly how you...
01:11He's a jerk.
01:15I knew he was too good to be true.
01:16Maybe my mom was right.
01:18Maybe I let him keep one foot out the door.
01:19All right, it's time to pick the winner
01:21for this week's KJWM Weekly Holiday Vacation Giveaway.
01:25And the lucky winner is Hillary Burns.
01:28Oh my God, you won!
01:30We are finally in the running for a trip to Mexico.
01:33It could be our honeymoon.
01:34What?
01:35All of my sisters found perfect men
01:37and I can't even get one in the door.
01:40Is that it?
01:41Is that what would make you happy right now
01:43to bring home a man for Thanksgiving?
01:45I just can't go home all alone.
01:47I just can't face it.
01:48I can't do it.
01:49Not now.
01:49Okay, look.
01:52All you have to do,
01:53just post this with a flirty little intro video
01:56of your pretty face and voila.
01:58All you have to do is click.
02:00I'll help you do the video.
02:02You really think it's a good idea
02:04to bring a stranger home
02:05or possibly a psycho to my parents' house
02:07for Thanksgiving?
02:09Hillary, I just wanted you to know
02:11I planned a small family gathering at the house
02:14for when you and Jason arrived.
02:17Do it.
02:17What?
02:17Now, of course,
02:18if he preferred white.
02:21Hi.
02:22Hi.
02:23Hi.
02:23Hi.
02:24My name is Hillary.
02:26I need to hire a fake fiancé
02:28to bring home to my family for Thanksgiving.
02:31In return, you will receive
02:32two free first-class tickets
02:34to Fla del Carmen, Mexico.
02:36So just record a quick video intro,
02:38post it to this page,
02:39and we'll get back to you.
02:44Whoa!
02:45What?
02:46Who is it?
02:46Come in.
02:47I can't believe it.
02:49Look at all of these.
02:55All right.
02:56Mexico has got some of the sweetest waves, man.
03:00I mean, after the weekend's over here,
03:01we can just serve,
03:03sun,
03:03serve,
03:04eat,
03:05serve,
03:05and then serve some water.
03:07I do have irritable bowel syndrome.
03:09Uh-oh!
03:10So really,
03:10I need to get to Mexico.
03:11Ooh.
03:12Oh!
03:12Oh!
03:13Oh!
03:20Ooh!
03:23Huh.
03:25Oh!
03:26I knew this was a bad idea.
03:32Come over here.
03:33No.
03:34No.
03:35No.
03:36I don't like it.
03:37Come on.
03:38Just talk to him.
03:39He's cute.
03:40He kind of looks like Jason.
03:41Hello.
03:42Hi.
03:43Is everything okay over there?
03:44Depending on what you mean by okay, everything's great.
03:46Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?
03:48Oh.
03:49Okay.
03:50My name is David.
03:51I'm an actor.
03:52Hey wait, I know you.
03:53Hey wait, I know you.
03:55He's the cell phone guy in the costume.
03:58That's just sad.
04:00He's our first interview.
04:01Come on.
04:02Let's go.
04:03Hi.
04:04Excuse me.
04:05Oh.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:07I'm sorry.
04:08Hi.
04:09I said acting is my full time job and today I'm playing a large cell phone.
04:13Oh crap.
04:14I knew it.
04:15Come on.
04:16We gotta go back to Seattle.
04:17That's right.
04:18And you're the reporter?
04:19Yeah.
04:20I was sorry to hear about the newspaper shutting down.
04:23Did you lose your job or?
04:24What do you think?
04:25Right.
04:26Sorry.
04:27Obvious.
04:28For what it's worth, I got fired playing a big red cell phone, so.
04:33Oh, I'm sorry.
04:34Don't be.
04:35You could help me save my very last red dignity.
04:38I mean, if I can't book a job playing a fake fiance for a weekend, I should probably call
04:43a quince.
04:44Are you free to meet Hillary tomorrow face to face?
04:47Sure thing.
04:50Hey.
04:51Okay.
04:52So, I Facebook him.
04:53He hasn't responded.
04:54And when you Google him, the only thing that comes up are a few photos of him on Flickr
04:58with some chick named Lindsay on a beach.
05:00So, looks like he's not a psycho.
05:03He's just another out of work loser actor.
05:05Did you sound like my agent?
05:06Oh.
05:07Hi.
05:08Hi.
05:09Um, you two have fun.
05:11Great.
05:14Hi.
05:16So, I checked out?
05:18Yeah.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Seems like it.
05:21Do you think that Jason is more of a corporate lawyer type?
05:24Corporate.
05:25What kind of car do you drive?
05:26Uh, 98, Jeep Grand Cherokee, fully loaded.
05:28We'll take my car.
05:29Okay.
05:30Okay.
05:31I'm gonna friend you on Facebook, accept my request, click on all my family photo albums,
05:35memorize all the names, everybody's clearly marked.
05:37Okay.
05:38Will do.
05:39Okay.
05:40Well, I guess I'll pick you up here, tomorrow, 8 a.m. sharp.
05:43Sounds good.
05:46Okay.
05:47Um.
05:54Sorry, I don't know what's going on here with the thing, the hair.
05:58I'll take care of it.
05:59Yeah?
06:00Okay.
06:02Bye.
06:06Guess I'm gonna buy your coffee.
06:17You clean up real good.
06:21You look nice yourself.
06:25And don't forget, my parents are very excited that you are a lawyer.
06:28About that.
06:29I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull that off.
06:32You're an actor.
06:34Act.
06:39Okay, hit me with the family breakdown.
06:41Okay.
06:42Uh, Meredith.
06:43Mother.
06:44Housewife extraordinaire.
06:45Roy.
06:46Dad.
06:47And councilman.
06:48Uh, your youngest sister is Trish.
06:49Joy.
06:50Right, right.
06:51Trish is the middle one.
06:52And, uh, her husband is Gil.
06:53And Joy's fiance's name is?
06:55Uh, John.
06:56Paul.
06:57Peter.
06:58You gotta get these straight.
06:59They're all gonna be at the party.
07:00Party?
07:01Uh, it's no big deal.
07:02Just family.
07:03How long were you and Jason engaged?
07:05Uh, we dated for seven months.
07:06We were engaged for two.
07:08Wow.
07:09What happened?
07:12He's, uh, he's under a lot of pressure.
07:14Really stressed.
07:15He got this big job promotion offer in Pittsburgh.
07:17So.
07:18Oh, look.
07:19Here we are.
07:23Okay.
07:24Just remember, say as little as possible and follow my lead.
07:28Here we go.
07:29Here we go.
07:30You know?
07:31Oh, honey, honey, honey.
07:32You're finally here.
07:33Oh, sweetie.
07:34Come here.
07:35Hmm.
07:40Huh.
07:41You know, you could wash that car every once in a while.
07:44What about Jason's Tesla?
07:45I wanted to ride in that.
07:47Oh, that was my fault.
07:48I wanted to save my mileage so we took the Jetta instead.
07:51Oh, well.
07:52At least we finally get to meet Jason.
07:55Oh.
07:56You practically pardoned.
07:57Oh.
07:59You're practically part of the family now.
08:01Yeah.
08:02Okay, well, let's go in.
08:03Okay.
08:04Everybody's looking forward to meeting you.
08:07Okay, come on in here.
08:10Oh, my God.
08:11I thought you said this was family only.
08:14I didn't want the whole town to think that you were going to be a spinster forever.
08:19Everyone, this is Hillary's fiance, Jason.
08:22Hi.
08:23Hi.
08:24How's it going?
08:25Oh, hey.
08:26Oh, yeah.
08:27Oh, yeah.
08:28Oh, Jason.
08:29Yeah.
08:30You were that firm that's defending that, uh, schmuck Shorman.
08:33Shorman?
08:34Yeah, man.
08:35He's as guilty as they come if you ask me.
08:36Pilking all those suckers out of their life savings.
08:38You know, Frank, I think everybody's considered innocent until proven guilty.
08:42Isn't that right?
08:43Jason?
08:44Jason?
08:45Yeah.
08:46Mr. Burns.
08:47Call me, Roy.
08:48Yes.
08:49Pleasure to meet you, Roy.
08:50You know what they say.
08:51Does it feel to be defending a crook like that?
08:53Well, uh, you know what?
08:55Frank, why don't you get yourself some eggnog?
08:57I just whipped up a fresh batch.
08:58Oh, that's fantastic.
08:59Thanks, man.
09:00Frank just comes for the eggnog.
09:02Yeah.
09:03So listen, uh, what kind of cases do you do?
09:05Do you do, uh, I don't know, fraud or extortion or money laundering?
09:09Uh, yeah.
09:10Yeah, I do all of those.
09:12Come on, Dad.
09:13Leave poor Jason alone.
09:14He's spent enough time in the office already.
09:16Yeah, I do all that lawyering.
09:19Did you play?
09:20Uh, yes, but quite that way.
09:22No, that way.
09:23Oh, yeah.
09:24Great, uh, do you mind if I...
09:25Oh.
09:28You know, when Hillary was young, she used to sing...
09:32Oh?
09:33Mm-hmm.
09:34No, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
09:43Okay, everybody, it's time to show the engagement ring.
09:47Wait till you see this beauty.
09:49Ta-da!
09:50Ta-da!
09:52Ta...
09:53I, I, I, I...
09:56I, I, I, I...
09:57I, I, I, I...
09:58I, I, I...
09:59I, I, I...
10:00I, I, I...
10:01That's a funny story, actually, right?
10:03Sweetie?
10:04It turns out Hillary lost a few pounds, and the ring doesn't fit her anymore.
10:08Right.
10:09And this morning, she's taking a shower, she gets out of the shower, and the ring falls off her finger into the toilet.
10:14She calls me hysteric.
10:16Crazy! I was crazy.
10:17Crazy.
10:18She was, she was freaking out.
10:19I get there.
10:20So, what do I do?
10:21I've got to man up, right, Roy?
10:22Yeah.
10:23I've got to do it.
10:24It's go time.
10:25So, I, I get down there on my knees, and I, I, I go in there.
10:27I go in there.
10:28I go in there.
10:29I go in deep.
10:30I can feel it.
10:31I can feel it right there.
10:32It gets away, then I have to, I have to go a little bit deeper, and I'm reaching for it.
10:34And...
10:35Nope.
10:36Deeper.
10:37Deeper.
10:38It's disturbing, actually.
10:39I can feel it.
10:40I can feel it.
10:41Right, right on the edge of my finger.
10:42It's right there.
10:43It's right there.
10:44And...
10:45I got it.
10:46Got the ring.
10:47Got the ring.
10:48So cute.
10:49Oh, my God.
10:50We decided to leave it home until we get it resized.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Yeah, it's better safe than sorry.
10:53Right, Sweeney?
10:55Mm-hmm.
11:00Wanna get a drink?
11:02Hey.
11:03Hell, isn't it?
11:04I thought you quit.
11:05I did.
11:08So, is my fiancé boring yours with his foot talk yet?
11:11No.
11:12But I think David's got his hands pretty full.
11:17Did I say David?
11:18Yeah.
11:19And Jason.
11:20Of course.
11:21David's a friend.
11:22I was on the phone.
11:25Well, I guess we better go back in there.
11:27If Mom has anything else to surprise me with, can you please tell me?
11:30Deal.
11:32Good to see you.
11:33Oh, my sweetie.
11:34Look at this.
11:35Our picture's taken.
11:36Our picture's taken.
11:37A family photo.
11:38Oh, yes, we are.
11:39We're together here.
11:40Hey, everybody.
11:44Don't worry, I could show Jason his room.
11:46Well, honey, don't be silly.
11:48The inn is full.
11:49Besides, I don't expect you to have separate rooms.
11:53Just separate beds.
11:54And if you need extra pillows or blankets, just ask me.
12:03That's okay, Mom.
12:04I think I know where everything is.
12:05Okay, well, you take it tonight.
12:06I'll take it tomorrow night.
12:07Whatever you want.
12:08Okay.
12:09I'm gonna go get a change for bed.
12:10Okay.
12:11Oh!
12:12Oh!
12:13Oh!
12:14Oh!
12:15Oh!
12:16Oh!
12:17Oh!
12:18Oh!
12:19Oh!
12:20Sorry.
12:21Um...
12:23No, I'm sorry.
12:24I thought you were still in the...
12:25Pajamas, please?
12:26Uh...
12:27No, I don't, uh...
12:28I don't wear...
12:29Pajamas.
12:30I didn't bring it.
12:31Okay, that's fine.
12:32That's fine.
12:33See if my dad has something.
12:34Great.
12:42Daddy?
12:43Daddy.
12:44I plead not guilty.
12:45Sorry?
12:46What?
12:47Sorry?
12:48I came to ask you if Jason could borrow some pajamas.
12:51Oh, I don't have any.
12:53Your mother and I sleep in the wrong.
12:55Ugh.
12:56Since when?
12:57Ugh.
12:58Since Joy went off to college.
12:59We ran around naked for a week.
13:00You should've seen your mother.
13:01Oh, no, no, no.
13:02I don't hear it.
13:04This guy, uh, this Jason, he treats you right, does he?
13:08Yeah.
13:09Yeah, of course.
13:10What?
13:11You love him?
13:13What?
13:14It's an easy question.
13:15Should be an easy answer.
13:16Dad, I'm marrying the guy.
13:18So?
13:19Do you love him?
13:21Yes, I do.
13:25Hey.
13:26The Beatles are right, after all.
13:30All you need is love.
13:32Hey, look, it's...
13:39Um, I'm sorry. I'm going so late.
13:41And, uh, there's nothing important.
13:43I just wanted to let you know that I may have lucked into some tickets to Gladwell Carmen and I don't know, I thought maybe you might want to go.
14:07No. Hey, um, call me.
14:26Morning. Morning, sweetheart. Where's Trish and Gil? Trish has sold the hotel. Gil hasn't shown up yet. Why are they staying at a hotel when there's plenty of room here?
14:36Well, with Emma and the nanny, maybe they felt they'd be a bother.
14:40I don't even know why Trish has a nanny. I mean, come on. I felt like she's ever had a job.
14:45But it's nice that her husband can afford to give her whatever she wants. He's just never around.
14:51How about Jason? How much does he earn?
14:54Mom. Oh, sweetie, I just want to make sure that you're cared for.
14:59Oh, come on, Mom. It is the 21st century. You don't need to be cared for. We have our own jobs. Right, Gil?
15:07Actually, the newspaper I was working for shut down.
15:10Oh, honey, not again.
15:12Well, it's not my fault. Nobody reads newspapers anymore. Everything's on the Internet.
15:16I know. Well, just in time, I want you to tell me if my yam casserole is sweet enough.
15:23Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not a fan.
15:25Yes, you are. You're such a joker. He's such a joker. He loves yams. Like I said, he loves yams.
15:31Yeah, I love it. Okay. Okay.
15:39I made that with Splenda instead of sugar.
15:45Maybe just a little more time. He is pretty funny.
15:50He is. He really is. He's so funny. He's such a kidder.
15:54Well, I just hope he's more serious when it comes to setting a wedding date.
15:58Please don't start. Honey, I'm sorry if I seem a little anxious.
16:04It's just that I have been deprived of planning the weddings for not one, but two of my daughters.
16:13Here we go.
16:14Can't you girls understand that a mother wants to plan her daughter's weddings?
16:20Oh, since you were babies, I dreamed of this.
16:23And then to find out that Trisha eloped to an island.
16:27Well, what about Joy? Joy's engaged.
16:29Yes. Joy's engaged.
16:31Yes, she is. And has been for two years.
16:35I will be six feet under by the time she sets a date.
16:38I'm sorry if I'm a little upset. But, but honey, it's come down to you. You're the only one I can count on. I'm, I'm, uh, December 21st. I'm, I'm, uh, December 21st. I didn't want to tell you. I wanted to, we were going to surprise you at dinner, but that's it. December 21st. You're getting married on December 21st? Yes. Oh my God.

21:04Hi.
21:05Hi.
21:06Sorry we're late.
21:07Hey.
21:08Hi.
21:09Where's Gil?
21:10Uh, the benefit that he was attending ran late, so now he's snowed in, in New York.
21:16Well, that's too bad.
21:18I know.
21:19If he were here, he could have gotten us a table at the golf club.
21:21Then we wouldn't have to eat in this dump.
21:23Hey, it's not snowing in New York.
21:25Hmm.
21:26You know, Gilbert has a platinum membership to all the best clubs.
21:30Well, I'm not a big golf fan, so this place suits me just fine.
21:37This is fine.
21:38This is great.
21:39I...
21:40No?
21:41I see.
21:42I thought you said that you met Jason at a charity golf tournament.
21:47Mm-hmm.
21:48That you were covering for that paper?
21:49That's right.
21:50Yeah.
21:51But I'm not a fan of the golf.
21:54But, you know, like a spectator.
21:56But I just play.
21:57But very, very badly.
21:58Very, very badly.
22:00That's why they gave you a car.
22:02Yeah.
22:03A Tesla, right?
22:04Yes.
22:05He won the car at the tournament, and then you interviewed the winner.
22:08Look at me.
22:09Hmm.
22:10He forgets everything, right, honey?
22:11Crazy.
22:12I think you're sandbagging, aren't you?
22:14No.
22:15Oh, my God.
22:16Oh, thank God.
22:17My name is Paco, and I'll be your server this holiday evening.
22:20Would you like to hear about our specials?
22:22Ah, seguro.
22:24Okay, well, basically what we have is anything that's chicken, ho-yo, we switch that out for
22:29guajolote.
22:30Guajolote?
22:31Guajolote.
22:32Guajolote.
22:33Guajolote.
22:35That means turkey.
22:37And that turkey tacos are particularly delicious tonight.
22:40David?
22:41Yes?
22:43Hey!
22:44It's Julian!
22:45Hi, Julian!
22:46Hey!
22:47Hi there!
22:48Hi there!
22:49Hi there!
22:50But my name is Jason.
22:51Jason?
22:52Jason is my name.
22:54No, it's not.
22:55Really?
22:56Yeah, it's Jason.
22:57But my...
22:58David is my middle name, so there's confusion sometimes.
23:02Oh, okay.
23:03Alrighty.
23:04Well, anyway, it's been a while since we did that bus and truck tour pair together.
23:07Oh, God, you look good.
23:10Are you still in the biz?
23:11Yes?
23:12So what are you doing?
23:14Oh, you're looking at it.
23:15It's a nightmare, yeah.
23:16But I had to move back in with my parents to get a more stable career going on.
23:19So here I am.
23:20Alright, I hear you!
23:22Gracias!
23:23De nada!
23:24I'll be there!
23:25It never stops.
23:26Anyway, I'll be back in a minute to get your orders.
23:28Just word to the wise, don't get the huevos rancheros.
23:30I had them for breakfast.
23:31I feel like there's a knife in my colon.
23:33Happy turkey day, everyone!
23:34Olé!
23:35Hey!
23:36Jillian.
23:37So, Jason David, what biz are you still in?
23:47Oh, I'm in the law.
23:49I do a little pro bono work.
23:54Charity.
23:55And I represented a few theater companies a few years back.
24:01So, theater people are so, I'm crazy.
24:06Um, I need some salsa.
24:07Mm-hmm.
24:09He's a giver.
24:10Mmm.
24:13How could you forget we went over that at least half of those times?
24:16I've never played golf before.
24:17It's not a part of my repertoire.
24:18And what was all that with the crazy waiter in the diner?
24:20We were in a production of hair eight years ago.
24:23How was I supposed to know we'd end up in...
24:24Where are we, anyway?
24:25Ah, is everything okay?
24:27Yeah.
24:28As we were just talking about the mix-up in the diner.
24:31Oh, what mix-up?
24:33Well, I'm pooped.
24:34Oh, I'm pooped, too.
24:36It's not every day that we blow up a turkey around here.
24:39You know, dinner was actually kind of fun, and the Mexican food wasn't half bad.
24:43Oh, that's good.
24:44Not as good as your turkey dinner would have been.
24:46Wasn't even close.
24:49You know, if Hillary doesn't take me to the curb, maybe I'll be lucky enough to try it next time.
24:54Mmm.
24:55Well, you know, I didn't want to deep fry that turkey in the first place.
24:58Mmm.
24:59But when Roy gets an idea stuck in his head...
25:02But we've got, uh, stuffing, three pies, and-and my yam casserole.
25:08Which is always better on the second day, anyway.
25:10Mmm, that is so true.
25:12You know, it's getting late.
25:13Uh-huh.
25:14So you go to bed, get a good, nice sleep, and we'll see you in the morning, okay?
25:19Yeah.
25:20Your turn to sleep on the cot.
25:23I'm sorry.
25:24No.
25:25No.
25:26No, it was me.
25:28I dropped the ball.
25:29I just, I don't know why you're doing this.
25:30I mean, I know you want the tickets, but there's gotta be an easier way to get to Mexico.
25:36Hmm.
25:37Playa del Carmen.
25:38It's where I met my girlfriend.
25:39Or, rather, my ex-girlfriend.
25:40I guess I thought that if I took her back to the resort where we met...
25:42And, I don't know, it might reignite the spark or something.
25:43But, I didn't have enough money for the ticket, so...
25:44Well, I'm sure it'll work.
25:45I hope so.
25:46I mean, she's kind of dating this other guy, right?
25:47Right?
25:48Yeah.
25:49Yeah.
25:50Yeah.
25:51Yeah.
25:52Yeah.
25:53Yeah.
25:54Yeah.
25:55Yeah.
25:56Yeah.
25:57Yeah.
25:58Yeah.
25:59Yeah.
26:00Yeah.
26:01Yeah.
26:02Yeah.
26:03Yeah.
26:04Yeah.
26:05Yeah.
26:06Yeah.
26:07Yeah.
26:08Yeah.
26:09Yeah.
26:10She's kind of dating this other guy, right now.
26:14But, who does she call every time they break up?
26:18Me.
26:19So, obviously, she, deep down, she really doesn't want to be with him.
26:25Hmm.
26:26So, you're the get-back guy.
26:28What?
26:29What, man?
26:31The get-back guy?
26:34You know, the guy she calls to get back at her ex.
26:37No, I'm not that guy.
26:38He's that guy.
26:39He's that guy.
26:40Well, when you met her, was she seeing him?
26:41No.
26:42They just broken up.
26:43See?
26:44No, no, no.
26:45It's not like that.
26:46No.
26:47They broke up.
26:48Uh-huh.
26:49And then we met.
26:50And then we were, you know, together.
26:53Like a couple.
26:54For how long?
26:55Uh...
26:56Four...
26:57Five weeks.
26:58And then she went back to him.
26:59Yeah, but she keeps calling me.
27:00Uh...
27:01All right.
27:02It may look like I'm the get-back guy, but I know that all she needs to do is get away
27:13from that hold he has on her, and then she can realize that what she really wants is me.
27:19Okay.
27:20Trust me.
27:21I know.
27:22She's materialistic and sentimental.
27:23So this could work.
27:24Maybe.
27:25I mean the...
27:26The ticket.
27:27Are you hungry?
27:28You know, I was bummed when the post closed down.
27:42That was my Sunday morning read.
27:43I love that funky rag.
27:44I know.
27:45The end of an era.
27:46So are you gonna find another gay reporting or something?
27:49I don't know.
27:50I mean, the only reason why I got that job was because my friend Sophie worked there,
27:53and I needed it, and it's not like I'm very good at it.
27:57You wrote that article a few weeks back about the animal shelter, right?
28:02Yeah, that was me.
28:03Well, you must have some talent.
28:04I mean, it's thanks to you that I am now the proud owner of the same dog you were hugging
28:09in that photo.
28:10You rescued Skittles from the animal shelter because of what I wrote?
28:13Yeah.
28:14Only his name's Whiskey now.
28:16Yeah.
28:17I'm gonna miss the post.
28:19I mean, I get all the news I can handle online.
28:22But I'm gonna hold something.
28:25You know?
28:26Not just my laptop, but an actual newspaper.
28:28Yeah, I love print.
28:29Who says print is dead?
28:30Let's start a revolution.
28:31Be not print.
28:34Nice.
28:37What about you?
28:38This and that cell phone gig are the only paying jobs I've had in a while.
28:42Hmm.
28:44Look at the pair of us.
28:46Dumped, unemployed, and eating sugar and carbs at midnight.
28:49Right.
28:50What?
28:54Who is it?
28:58I don't know.
29:00We should take this upstairs.
29:01Great idea.
29:02Only two more days to go.
29:04If we lie low, we just go with it.
29:07And then we can totally get through this.
29:10No, let's not pressure low.
29:11Let's get out of here and go sightseeing or something.
29:13Good planet.
29:14Wow.
29:15No.
29:16Oh, sorry.
29:17Oh, you startled me.
29:18It's beautiful.
29:19Oh, well, it will be.
29:20You do this all yourself?
29:21Every year.
29:22Um, can I help you at all?
29:23No.
29:24Oh.
29:25Oh.
29:26Oh.
29:27Oh.
29:28Oh.
29:29Oh.
29:30Oh.
29:31Oh.
29:32Oh.
29:33Oh.
29:34Oh.
29:35Oh.
29:36Oh.
29:37Oh.
29:38Oh.
29:39Okay.
29:40There is a wreath over there that I had designed for the mantle.
29:44Yes.
29:45Here?
29:46Pick it up very carefully.
29:47And it belongs right on the mantle in the center.
29:50Okay?
29:51Watch yourself on that ladder.
29:52Oh.
29:53I got it.
29:56Thank you, Jason.
29:58Don't worry about it.
29:59It's a little crooked.
30:01There.
30:02No.
30:03I mean, thank you for Thanksgiving and for being such a good sport today and...
30:12Thank you for loving my daughter.
30:17She loves you very much, you know.
30:22I can see it in her face.
30:25Well, I love her too, Mrs. Burns.
30:31Oh, call me Meredith.
30:34Please.
30:35Or...
30:36Or Mom.
30:37If you like.
30:38Okay.
30:43Listen, uh...
30:44Can I give you a hand with anything else, or...?
30:46After 20-some years, I've got it down to a science.
30:49All right.
30:52I'll, um...
30:54Head up to bed, then.
30:57Good night, Jason.
31:01Good night.
31:07Good night, Mom.
31:20Hey, Hillary.
31:21Yeah.
31:22You see this?
31:23Oh, yeah.
31:24My mom does this every year after Thanksgiving.
31:26It's her tradition.
31:27When we were little, we used to think it was elves or something.
31:36Just the two I was looking for!
31:38I know you're only here for a few more days, but we have to find the perfect wedding dress.
31:50And pick the china, and the linens, and the cake.
31:53Oh, I think you should go, hon.
31:55I mean, go with it?
31:57Isn't that what brides are supposed to do?
31:59Go dress shopping with their mothers?
32:01Yes, of course.
32:02Yeah.
32:03But I really think it's a good idea to go shopping on Black Friday.
32:06Let's go shopping!
32:08Let's go shopping!
32:09Yay!
32:10Yay!
32:11Yay!
32:22Mom, look.
32:23Oh, it's beautiful.
32:28Here.
32:29Hold my purse.
32:30Thanks.
32:32Here.
32:33Okay, thanks.
32:34Are you almost ready?
32:40Oh!
32:41Oh!
32:42Oh!
32:43Hillary, it looks beautiful.
32:45Yeah?
32:46Oh, honey, it looks beautiful.
32:48Pretty.
32:49Thank you very much.
32:53Oh, darling, I love you.
32:54Yeah?
32:55Yeah.
32:57Oh!
32:59So what's going on with you and Jason?
33:02Nothing.
33:04My point exactly.
33:05For two young lovebirds, I don't see much affection.
33:11No kiss.
33:12No hug.
33:13Mom, he's just not a touchy-feely guy.
33:14Don't worry about it.
33:15I just want to be able to see your marriage succeed, you know.
33:20Most marriages fall apart first in the bedroom.
33:25You know, your father and I make love three times a week.
33:28Ah!
33:29My ears are bleeding.
33:30Jason's a good catch.
33:31A little odd and nervous, I guess, but I like him.
33:37He's good for you.
33:41Hmm.
33:42Hmm.
33:44Pretty.
33:45Oh!
33:47Pretty.
33:48Oh!
33:49Is she getting married?
33:50Well, yes.
33:51Of course.
33:52I'm not.
33:53Oh.
33:54My therapist says that I should visualize what I want and it will manifest itself.
33:57Well, that sounds like a very good strategy.
34:02I want that dress.
34:03I'll take it.
34:06That's beautiful.
34:08Nice.
34:09Oh, ma'am.
34:10Ma'am.
34:11That is my fiance's dress.
34:12I saw it first and it's mine.
34:13Okay.
34:14Can I have you please?
34:15No.
34:16Look, of your way.
34:17Pretty!
34:18Oh, my God.
34:21Who dressed my bride?
34:28Just between you and I, how would you advise a client to proceed if it was discovered that,
34:33let's say, he was getting money for selling, I don't know, boats?
34:37I would probably advise that person to stop talking about it and definitely not tell any longer.
34:41Hey, there's no one.
34:43Gotcha.
34:44Gotcha.
34:46Hey, so what do you like better, cups or mugs?
34:48I don't know.
34:49I think we get better used out of mugs.
34:51What do you think?
34:52Table setting for eight or twelve?
34:54Hilary, can I talk you outside for a minute?
35:00Wait, wait, wait.
35:01You do realize that we're not actually getting married, right?
35:05Yeah.
35:06Yeah.
35:07Yeah.
35:08Yeah.
35:09But what if Jason actually did get cold feet?
35:11I mean, a lot of people think they want to move to Pittsburgh and then they change their mind.
35:16Hey, look sharp, kids.
35:18There is someone here to see you.
35:25Oh, Father Macy, what are you doing here?
35:28Well, sweetie, your wedding is in less than a month.
35:30You really should have met with Father Macy weeks ago, so I invited him over.
35:35Oh, hi.
35:36Oh.
35:38Hello, I'm Father Macy.
35:39Hi, Father.
35:41Jason.
35:42So, is there somewhere we could go and talk?
35:45Well, it's a beautiful day.
35:46Why don't you take a walk?
35:47Perfect.
35:49So, Jason, you're going to marry Hilary.
35:51That's what they keep telling me.
35:53I would like to make sure that you're both headed on the same path.
35:56That you share the same ideals and beliefs, for if not, the marriage could suffer.
36:02So, Jason, tell me, which church were you raised in?
36:06Well, I didn't actually go to church.
36:09No worries.
36:10Are you Roman Catholic?
36:11No.
36:12Protestant?
36:13Mm-mm.
36:14LDS?
36:15Jewish.
36:16Jewish.
36:17Well, I see.
36:20I'm sure you understand, then, that I would not be able to perform the ceremony.
36:24No, we talked about this, and Jason has no problem with converting.
36:28Actually, I...
36:29Oh, I have a wonderful idea.
36:32We could have Jason baptized at the same time as Emma.
36:35Well, I don't...
36:36No, Trish, I don't...
36:38Yeah, that could...
36:40Wow.
36:41No way.
36:42No way I'm getting baptized.
36:43Come on.
36:44It's just a formality.
36:45It's not that big a deal.
36:46I'm Jewish.
36:47You're not that Jewish.
36:48What are you even talking about?
36:50My grandma Turtletop would roll in her grave if she knew I was doing this.
36:53My mom would be so disappointed if we don't have a wedding at her church.
36:57What wedding, Hillary?
36:58We're not really getting married!
37:00Stay quiet!
37:01Shh!
37:04Oh, my God.
37:05I'm so sorry.
37:08This is so stupid.
37:10You're right, this is so stupid.
37:11What am I doing?
37:12This is so stupid.
37:14I mean, here I am trying to do everything to make my mother happy.
37:17And for what?
37:19To set her up for my greatest disappointment ever.
37:21That's so foolish to think Jason is actually coming back.
37:25He's not coming back.
37:26I mean, he's in Pittsburgh.
37:27He's happy to be rid of me.
37:36Here.
37:39Just give the voucher numbers to the airline for your tickets.
37:42Take them.
37:45You earn them.
37:47But the...
37:49The weekend's not even over yet.
37:51Please.
37:53I couldn't expect you to stay when the crap hits the fan.
37:55I mean, God knows you've been thrown up already.
37:59Yeah.
38:01So, uh...
38:02This is it.
38:04The engagement's off?
38:05Yeah.
38:06Yeah.
38:07The engagement's off.
38:13Um...
38:16Is there a train or something I should catch?
38:19Yeah.
38:21Um...
38:22You missed the 5.30, but I think there's an 11.30.
38:25Well, that's...
38:27That's better.
38:28I should probably wait to leave until after everyone's gone to bed.
38:31So...
38:32Thanks.
38:33Uh...
38:46Well...
38:47That was, uh...
38:48Fun.
38:49Right?
38:50Yeah.
38:51Good luck with, uh...
38:53Everything.
38:54Hope you find the spark in Mexico.
38:57Thanks.
38:58Uh...
39:03Uh...
39:04Hey, sis.
39:05I'll call you tomorrow.
39:06Joy.
39:07Is that it?
39:08No.
39:09No.
39:10No.
39:12No.
39:13No.
39:14No.
39:15No.
39:16No.
39:17No.
39:18No.
39:19No.
39:20No.
39:21No.
39:22No.
39:23No.
39:24No.
39:25No.
39:26No.
39:27No.
39:28No.
39:29No.
39:30No.
39:31No.
39:32No.
39:33Just a 20 whether from the diner.
39:34Yep.
39:35Stu and I dated for a couple months before mom set me up with the footman.
39:39She thoughts do wasn't good enough so...
39:42She works her magic and the next thing I knew, Stu was out of the picture.
39:46And I was engaged to Pete the podiatrist.
39:50Is that why you haven't said a date?
39:54Don't get me wrong.
39:55Pete's a good man.
39:56A little weird, but...
39:59Good guy.
40:00I just don't love him.
40:06Not like I love Stu.
40:08What's really going on with you and Jason?
40:12Jason dumped me a week ago.
40:15So I hired an actor named David to play my fiancé for the weekend.
40:22You what?
40:24Wait. Wait.
40:26Okay, so where did Jason or David go?
40:32Left.
40:35Just...
40:36I don't know. It's left. It's... I don't know.
40:42Oh, wow.
40:43But you like him.
40:46David, you like David.
40:47I... What?
40:48I don't like David. I don't even know David.
40:51It's crazy.
40:52I like David.
40:54Yes.
40:55There's something I have to tell you.
40:57How about Jason?
40:59He dumped me.
41:00I am well aware of what's going on.
41:03You are?
41:04Yes, I saw him leaving last night.
41:06Oh, that's just part of it. That's not...
41:09Hillary Jean. I have to say this.
41:11Sweetheart.
41:12When are you going to get serious?
41:15You are not a spring chicken anymore.
41:1830s in the rearview mirror.
41:20And you have nothing to show for it.
41:22No career, no direction, and now I guess no Jason.
41:26Guess again.
41:28I'm sitting in his car. I thought I'd invite him in.
41:31Long story tell you later.
41:32You're still on.
41:33You're still on.
41:35Just so everyone knows, for the record, none of this is Hillary's fault.
41:39Oh, no.
41:40Okay.
41:41So, um, aren't you two going to kiss and make up?
41:44No.
41:45Go on.
41:46Come on.
41:47Come on.
41:48Okay.
41:48Should I call Father Macy?
42:10I don't know.
42:11I don't know.
42:12No.
42:13No, that's fine.
42:13Call him.
42:15Call him.
42:16I got it.
42:18I should go unpack.
42:23Told ya.
42:34Hey, we had a deal, right?
42:37So, is your ex or whatever, is she going to Mexico?
42:42Yep.
42:43Well, that's nice.
42:44You guys should have a good time.
42:45I don't know about me, but I'm sure she and Peggy will have a great time.
42:50What do you mean?
42:53She thought I was giving her the tickets.
42:55Oh, ow.
42:57She was just using me.
42:58It's the story of my life.
42:59Always the get-back guy, never just the guy.
43:02You know, don't give her those tickets.
43:04I don't know.
43:08Hi, Liz.
43:09So, do the tickets?
43:12Yeah, about that.
43:13You know, when I told you about these tickets, I was kind of hoping that you and I would go
43:17and have a real nice-
43:18Oh, my God.
43:18Wait till Matt finds out that I'm going to Mexico.
43:22Right.
43:22Can we not talk about Matt, maybe?
43:24Oh, my God.
43:25He's going to be so pissed.
43:25Sweetie, hi.
43:29Hi.
43:30Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
43:32I had to meet with the caterers.
43:33I had another dress fitting.
43:36I'm sorry.
43:37And you are...
43:38You are...
43:39Lindsay.
43:42Lindsay?
43:45Lindsay, David told me all about you and Playa del Carmen.
43:48God, I guess I'm lucky he's not into party girls, huh?
43:50Did you send her an invite to our wedding?
43:54Wedding?
43:55You didn't send her an invite?
43:57It happened so fast, though.
43:59That's right.
44:00It was just boom, like that.
44:02Love at first sight.
44:03Isn't that right, too?
44:04Mm-hmm.
44:04Awesome.
44:06David, can I just have the tickets, please?
44:08Mm-hmm.
44:08Thanks.
44:10David, that's actually why I'm here.
44:12I have to admit, when he first told me about your thing in Mexico, I was jealous.
44:17I was.
44:18In the heat of the moment, I told him to give the vouchers away.
44:20Right?
44:21Because it's not like we're going to have a honeymoon where he met some girl.
44:24But then, I woke up this morning, and I was like, no.
44:28You know what?
44:29The past is the past.
44:30The heck with it.
44:31I mean, he's marrying me, not you.
44:33So I went online, I traded in the vouchers, and surprise!
44:36Honeymoon in Playa del Carmen!
44:37You did it!
44:38I did it!
44:38Oh, come here.
44:39Mm-hmm.
44:43Bye, Lindsay.
44:49Ah!
44:50Ah!
45:03Mm-hmm.
45:04Yeah.
45:04Angels we have heard on high
45:12Sweetly singing on the plains
45:17Gloria
45:28In excelsis day
45:34Oh, that was wonderful.
45:51Honey, I haven't heard you sing for so long.
45:54And the two of you together, just beautiful.
45:57Just beautiful.
46:04Jason, Jason, what are you doing here?
46:11I wanted to see you.
46:13Who is it, honey?
46:16Oh, mom, dad, everybody.
46:22This is Jason.
46:26Happy holidays, everybody.
46:28Mom, mom, I'm sorry.
46:36I shouldn't have done that, but I didn't want to disappoint you.
46:38So you bring a total stranger into my house.
46:40I would never, ever have believed that you would be capable of doing something so despicable.
46:46What were you thinking?
46:48Peter and I are breaking up.
46:53Sorry, dude.
46:53Was there any chance you might still be a lawyer with him?
47:08No.
47:09Hillary, can we talk?
47:14I'm so sorry about David.
47:15I don't know.
47:16I think I might have lost my mind.
47:18I'm so confused.
47:19I don't know anything.
47:20I don't understand.
47:20You do?
47:23Because I don't...
47:24People do crazy things when their hearts have been broken.
47:27Besides, arboring grudges is no way for us to start our future together.
47:32Our future?
47:33You said I was a mistake.
47:36And I don't know if I want to move to Pittsburgh.
47:39There is no Pittsburgh.
47:42Sharpell gave the promotion to his idiot nephew.
47:44But none of that matters anymore because now we can be together.
48:02David?
48:03What are you doing?
48:04Well, actually, I was just going to go talk to Hillary.
48:06I think that's a bad idea.
48:08In fact, I'm very surprised to see that you're still here.
48:11Weren't you the one that was paid to fill Jason's shoes?
48:15And now that Jason is here, I really don't think there's any reason for you to stay.
48:20But I...
48:21Don't.
48:21Don't hurt Hillary's chances.
48:24Okay.
48:25No, no, no.
48:26You know what?
48:28You may think that Jason is the perfect son-in-law, but he's not.
48:32He walked out on Hillary.
48:34She's the one who's perfect.
48:35She's kind, and she's beautiful, and she's a gifted writer.
48:39Have you ever even read one of her articles?
48:42She can talk to this whole thing just because she's terrified of disappointing you.
48:51All she wants is to keep you happy.
48:55And Meredith, I'm sorry that I deceived you.
49:00I truly am very sorry.
49:02And it's fine if you think that Jason will make her happy.
49:05But have you ever asked Hillary what will make her happy?
49:11Have you?
49:11Kiss me.
49:29Hmm?
49:30Kiss me.
49:31I really have to get this done.
49:32Kiss me like...
49:33Like the future Mrs. King.
49:35Kiss me like you love me.
49:36Hillary, I really don't think your parents asked the place for this.
49:38You two love me, right?
49:40Go for King.
49:45Bill, it's going to be fine.
49:47No.
49:48Gary will get him to me.
49:53I have a question.
49:55Does, um, Jason.
49:58The real Jason, not the fake Jason.
50:01Does he have any other talents besides being a good lawyer?
50:05What do you mean?
50:06Can you rig a turkey?
50:09Maybe play a tune?
50:11Jason?
50:12I don't think so.
50:15Would he make you sing?
50:17Like you did earlier tonight?
50:22You know, I know it doesn't seem like it.
50:25But your mother really just wants you to be happy.
50:27Maybe it's time you told her what you want.
50:32If you know what you want.
50:34Mom.
50:36Oh, Hillary.
50:40I'm so sorry, honey.
50:42You sent all these beautiful articles and...
50:46I'm sorry I didn't read them.
50:48You've always been a gifted writer.
50:50And all of those wonderful things that David yelled at me.
50:56Do you love Jason?
50:59Not, not, I mean, you know, the real Jason.
51:02Oh, I know what you mean.
51:07No.
51:07I think I hate him.
51:14I do.
51:18Do you love David?
51:24I hate David.
51:25I hate David.
51:25I've got to buy you a car.
51:47Thanks.
51:49I have four copies right...
51:51What?
51:53You say my car?
51:55Hillary, what?
51:56Are you...
51:57Where are you going?
52:17I'll call you a cab.
52:25Hi.
52:27How did you...
52:28I borrowed Jason's car.
52:32You and Jason?
52:33Nope.
52:35Jason is a total jerk, you're right.
52:37And a big mistake.
52:39Huge mistake.
52:42Huge mistake.
52:44Okay.
52:46You're here now.
52:47You're here.
52:49You're here.
52:50Mm-hmm.
52:54What does that make me?
52:56Not a mistake.
