00:00:22I 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.
00:00:53And Nikki depends on me.
00:00:54Look, you know that I think it is amazing that you do these after school activities.
00:00:58And you know that I do.
00:00:59But 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.
00:01:17Hey, I almost forgot.
00:01:21I managed to score us a 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.
00:01:45Look, I think she'll understand.
00:01:47Plus, 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.
00:02:27And I think that last time, Becky, I'm looking at you.
00:02:30All right, let's go.
00:02:31Good 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.
00:02:55Coach 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.
00:03:12Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 53rd annual Christmas showcase.
00:03:19An 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 you.
00:03:35Just look at this energy.
00:03:37It's like this building is festering.
00:03:39Oh, okay, 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.
00:03:44That thing 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?
00:04:13This?
00:04:15All of last week?
00:04:20Okay.
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 done.
00:04:41That'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.
00:04:54Not 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
00:05:02my father.
00:05:03Okay?
00:05:04I just need to disagree.
00:05:06Unfortunately, I don't know if that's going to be enough this time.
00:05:09Yeah.
00:05:09You 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 your plan to ruin your family's reputation.
00:05:32Are you here to hide?
00:05:33Or are you going to keep partying and hoping nobody notices?
00:05:37Just drive.
00:05:38Please.
00:05:44Great.
00:05:47Well, well, well, well.
00:05:49Randall, pleasure as always.
00:05:51Another day in paradise.
00:05:51So are you, uh, hiding your boy until the big merger?
00:05:55My boy?
00:05:56No.
00:05:57He'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.
00:06:04Hey, sure you asked.
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 change.
00:06:16One, two, three, four.
00:06:18I'm trying to lose any of you.
00:06:20All right.
00:06:21Get change.
00:06:23Bye.
00:06:27So, what do you think?
00:06:31You'll rehearse with the kids at the school,
00:06:33and I will work on the sets here by the cleaning supplies at night.
00:06:36It's not like I have any other plans.
00:06:38I know.
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:42Uh, do 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 change before your dad gets here.
00:06:50All right.
00:06:51And listen, cheer up.
00:06:53I know you're going to meet a guy in the most unexpected way.
00:06:57Mm-hmm.
00:06:57I 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.
00:07:17Okay, Matlock.
00:07:19Yes, I'm a little bit sad.
00:07:22But that's okay.
00:07:23Being sad is just one of the many emotions that we feel.
00:07:25Now, go get changed.
00:07:28First.
00:07:58I don't know.
00:08:28Um, is there, like, a sushi place around here?
00:08:31Around here?
00:08:34Okay, I mean, I just need a place to hang out for a minute.
00:08:37Uh, 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. It's probably the highlight of my evening.
00:08:52Cool.
00:08:53You want to shoot some hoops?
00:08:56Let's see what you got.
00:08:58Is this the community center?
00:09:03Yep.
00:09:08Great.
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. Let'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? Just hope he doesn't come here.
00:09:52How come?
00:09:54Because he made you sad.
00:09:57So, wait.
00:09:58You want to get back together?
00:10:01It's complicated.
00:10:02You shouldn't.
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?
00:10:11Yeah, 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?
00:10:21Listen.
00:10:22You 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.
00:10:55How's the showcase coming along?
00:10:57It's a work in progress.
00:10:59Can't see much yet, but how was New York?
00:11:04That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:11:08I wanted to let you know that...
00:11:10We're engaged!
00:11:14I'm Megan.
00:11:15You must be Georgia.
00:11:18Wow!
00:11:20It's so big!
00:11:23Congratulations.
00:11:24I know it's all a little fast.
00:11:25You know, I hope that you're okay.
00:11:28Oh, 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,
00:11:43and I need a new gal.
00:11:44Plus, we're also going back to New York City for New Year's,
00:11:47so 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.
00:12:02Yeah.
00:12:03Hey.
00:12:04Sorry for taking so long.
00:12:06Hey, Zoe.
00:12:06How are you?
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08I was working on the details of her New Year's trip to Paris.
00:12:11Oh, hey.
00:12:14Chase Knightley, how are you?
00:12:17Yeah.
00:12:17Hi.
00:12:19Oh, she's just surprised I found the time to get away.
00:12:22Mm-hmm.
00:12:22All right, so, um, plane's fueled up.
00:12:24Ready to go?
00:12:25Okay.
00:12:26We have an appointment with Stella McCartney.
00:12:28She's designing a gown just for Georgia.
00:12:31Smile for the camera.
00:12:33All right, got her arms.
00:12:35Everyone wants her picture.
00:12:35All right, ciao.
00:12:36Bye.
00:12:36Bye.
00:12:36Bye.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:38Bye.
00:12:38Bye.
00:12:39Bye.
00:12:39Bye.
00:12:40Bye.
00:12:40Bye.
00:12:42She's dating?
00:12:43Chase Knightley?
00:12:44Only three weeks after we broke up.
00:13:03Leave you alone for three minutes.
00:13:11Come on.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:17In here.
00:13:23This way.
00:13:24Okay, what is going on?
00:13:25Shh.
00:13:36There.
00:13:36There, there.
00:13:36I think they're gone.
00:13:51They don't give up that easy.
00:14:00Can I see your phone for a sec?
00:14:01What?
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.
00:14:23Oh, wow, that was fast.
00:14:28Oh, wow, that was fast.
00:14:32What was?
00:14:36Chase'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.
00:15:01Hey, 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.
00:15:29You'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.
00:15:41It says the woman working in a rundown nothing of a community center.
00:15:47Where 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, sorry.
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 lied to help.
00:16:05I didn't like the way they were treating you.
00:16:07But it was wrong.
00:16:09And, um, I'm sorry.
00:16:12Once I get my phone back, I'll fix all this.
00:16:14I'm probably right, actually.
00:16:17My father and the entire murder team were probably breathing a sigh of relief at the idea of this dating.
00:16:21I guess 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'd pay you to be my girlfriend until Christmas.
00:16:43And I'll be fine.
00:16:44Oh, it 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.
00:17:15Hmm.
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.
00:17:28Yeah, 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.
00:18:15Please.
00:18:19I 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 to.
00:18:33Throw a number at me.
00:18:34A 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.
00:18:51Pretty run down.
00:18:52Deal.
00:18:56What?
00:18:56Mm-hmm.
00:18:57Seri-seriously?
00:18:58Yeah.
00:18:59So you'll do it?
00:19:03Fine.
00:19:04I will pretend to date you, and you build us a new community center.
00:19:08After Christmas, this is done.
00:19:11Perfect.
00:19:11Right?
00:19:17This day just keeps getting better.
00:19:22I 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.
00:19:33Now 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?
00:19:49Uh, he's meeting her parents.
00:19:52Uh, excuse us.
00:19:54There'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?
00:20:21I'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?
00:20:30This 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 parish 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, then we need to do normal things.
00:20:49What 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.
00:21:01Pretend you are a 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.
00:21:15Why?
00:21:16What's wrong with this car?
00:21:27Should we have called?
00:21:29Brought food or something?
00:21:30No, I'm not.
00:21:31No, I have a key.
00:21:33Besides, my mom always has me low-carting.
00:21:35Really?
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 out.
00:22:00Well, 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.
00:22:15So, how did you two meet each other?
00:22:18At school.
00:22:18At a function.
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.
00:22:28And forgive me, Chase, but I thought you didn't like the nightly's.
00:22:37Well, I guess she couldn't help but fall in love with me.
00:22:41Isn't that right to me?
00:22:43How 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.
00:23:04Mm-hmm.
00:23:04Sure.
00:23:06Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:23:10I don't understand.
00:23:12Three weeks ago, you and Andrew broke up because he wanted to take you to a nightly's ball.
00:23:17Now, that was just a function.
00:23:21And now, you're dating one.
00:23:28Yeah.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40Ever since she was about three years old, Georgia was begging us for a little brother, a little sister.
00:23:47Well, unfortunately, God's plan didn't see fit for us to have any more children.
00:23:52I'm sorry.
00:23:53Oh, no.
00:23:55She 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...
00:24:11Look, I just have one request.
00:24:17Please don't drag her into any of your scandals, all 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.
00:24:33Yeah.
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.
00:24:52Well, I'm going to go help your mother.
00:24:54Okay.
00:24:55Good talk.
00:24:56Thanks.
00:24:59Cute.
00:24:59Okay.
00:25:18On Christmas Eve, my father will announce the merger, and 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, and 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?
00:26:02There were many reasons.
00:26:05But, yes, it was one of them.
00:26:08You were unlike anyone I've ever met.
00:26:14Is that a good thing?
00:26:17I don't know, here.
00:26:36We had a meatloaf.
00:26:36Meatloaf.
00:26:38Meatloaf?
00:26:39It was like meat in the shape of a loaf.
00:26:43I never would have guessed.
00:26:44It's actually pretty good.
00:26:45Oh, it's great.
00:26:46Glad to hear.
00:26:46Thanks.
00:27:06What 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 on 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, painting sets, anything that Ms. Jackson deems necessary.
00:27:53Really?
00:27:54I can make you a list.
00:27:56Even you can follow.
00:27:59Remember, we're trying to rebuild your image here.
00:28:01Okay?
00:28:02Great.
00:28:02Why is your tree lying on the floor?
00:28:08Just haven't gotten around to decorating it yet.
00:28:12Totally normal.
00:28:14I 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?
00:28:27As most of you know, Barrington Nightly Enterprises has been in talks with EDT International regarding a potential merger since January this year.
00:28:37Now, I'm not permitted to divulge anything definitive on that matter, except to say that on Christmas Eve, before annual Christmas Nightly Ball, we'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.
00:28:57I guess the, uh, schoolteacher-girlfriend tactic worked.
00:29:02Not sure what you mean?
00:29:04Sure you do.
00:29:06Your sudden relationship with Georgia Jackson seems all too convenient and a little...
00:29:11mismatched?
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 as compared to her more humble station.
00:29:30Well, as far as I understand it, she doesn't hold my money against me.
00:29:34If that has she changed, 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 at Georgia's past.
00:29:44When 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 across the country,
00:30:08starting 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.
00:30:23Very natural.
00:30:24Hey, um, we're gonna have some, uh, exclusive, uh, photo opportunities this week coming up, starting tonight, if you're interested.
00:30:32Really?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:34Randall, grab a donut.
00:30:39Nice 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 sometimes.
00:30:57You have to tell me everything!
00:31:02So, 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?
00:31:18Uh, and I think I should have been the one who ate with Zoe.
00:31:21I'm serious.
00:31:22I'm serious, too.
00:31:23Georgia, you get to play Cinderella for a week.
00:31:28Do 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're like a 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.
00:32:18In public.
00:32:19You're loving it, aren't you?
00:32:20A little bit, yeah.
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.
00:33:09One 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.
00:33:53Super 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.
01:03:32Oops.
01:03:34Escort him out.
01:03:41I can't believe this.
01:03:46You lied.
01:03:49To my face.
01:03:50I'm sorry
01:03:53I'm sorry
01:03:56He knew how much this meant to me
01:04:05Yes, he did
01:04:07Then why? Why would he do something like this?
01:04:10Why do you think
01:04:10You may not see this, but he was
01:04:13Trying to help
01:04:14Couldn't he find a more traditional way to help?
01:04:17He's got an MBA from Harvard, a law degree from Yale
01:04:19Surely he could have come up with something more constructive
01:04:21Yes, all that knowledge
01:04:24And nowhere to apply it
01:04:25What are you talking about?
01:04:28Did you even look at his analysis?
01:04:30No, you didn't
01:04:32You'd rather listen to anyone else
01:04:34Even 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
01:04:42But you need to take a look
01:04:44At your part in this
01:04:46Well, you budge
01:04:47I don't think you need to know
01:04:48It's better
01:04:49You're amazing
01:04:50When I speak to myself
01:04:51I don't think you're able to get me
01:04:52I don't know
01:04:52That they you're weird
01:04:53Noob
01:04:54I don't listen to me
01:04:55I don't know
01:04:55Yes, as heck
01:04:56I don't know
01:04:57Yes, you're wrong
01:04:57I don't see
01:04:58I don't know
01:04:59You know
01:04:59I don't know
01:05:00More like
01:05:01But my dad

01:05:15how you doing
01:05:17i don't know i broomed a merger my father spent an entire year working on
01:05:26and i plucked a sweet and kind girl from obscurity and made her into a punchline
01:05:33whatever happens to her is on me
01:05:40look you know everything's gonna calm down all right maybe not today or
01:05:45soon but eventually everything will go back to normal for her and for you
01:05:49yeah i don't want things to go back to normal if this week has taught me anything
01:05:53it's that i want to do something with my life
01:05:56okay
01:05:58okay whatever you need i'm here thanks
01:06:09you know you've been like a dad to me
01:06:10i am not even that old
01:06:14you're pretty old i'm an old soul you're getting old it's not
01:06:18the same it's the wrinkles what yeah
01:06:24the smell of the pines
01:06:28filling the air
01:06:30folks downtown shopping and snow in your head
01:06:35all of the ones that we love are coming home
01:06:42kids with their lists for the big man
01:06:51wow
01:06:56i believe this is what should happen every time you step on the
01:06:59exactly
01:07:00even beginners
01:07:01these are flowers right
01:07:02i think that this feeling is christmas
01:07:07snow-covered trees
01:07:10she's excited 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 white christmas
01:07:20it's feeling all right
01:07:22and it could be christmas tonight
01:07:26i wish i had read this analysis when you gave it to me
01:07:41you're right
01:07:42kevin's ideas they were short-sighted
01:07:45yeah i mean
01:07:46he didn't take into account the highly fluctuating exchange rate which
01:07:50if done properly you can actually take advantage of
01:07:57so
01:07:59what would you do
01:08:06well i i combine your buying power like kevin suggested but
01:08:13i keep aspects of the manufacturing in our own countries
01:08:16each taking advantage of our own strengths
01:08:19so only manufacture the parts that are cost effective
01:08:22yes
01:08:23and then
01:08:24the tax credits would offset the premiums and the costs
01:08:26and we can keep all the jobs in our own countries
01:08:35i have an idea
01:08:37but i'm gonna need your help
01:08:40okay
01:08:49thank 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
01:09:06because it wasn't a very good deal for either of us
01:09:10earlier you asked chase what he thought about the merger
01:09:17and 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
01:09:23i've got some great ideas

01:11:25i don't want it
01:11:26yeah well
01:11:27hey
01:11:28did you read it?
01:11:29in the five seconds since you've sent it?
01:11:44the merger was signed earlier this morning and chase was named the COO
01:11:48that's great i'm so happy for him
01:11:52okay there's one more thing
01:11:54what's that?
01:11:55uh how fast can you get down here?
01:11:58why?
01:11:59just get here
01:12:01okay but i want to watch the press conference first i want to see what randall has to say
01:12:05randall wasn't there
01:12:07that's what i'm trying to tell you
01:12:09that's what i'm trying to tell you
01:12:11okay
01:12:12oh did you not get the new start time? sorry about that
01:12:26you can't keep me away i have the right to report the news
01:12:29yes of course you can print whatever you want about us because we are news i suppose
01:12:34but come on man that recording in georgia is just sleazy it's neither news nor is it newsworthy
01:12:43you were using it to bully her
01:12:45the whole idea for this relationship was mine print that if you want
01:12:49but i'd be careful you 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?
01:13:17and by the way she's getting the exclusive
