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.
03:11Uh-oh!
03:12Uh-oh!
03:12Uh-oh!
03:13Uh-oh!
03:20Ooh!
03:21Huh.
03:26Hello?
03:26Oh.
03:27Uh-oh!
03:29Uh-oh!
03:30Ugh, I knew this was a bad idea.
03:32Come over here.
03:33No!
03:34No, no.
03:36I don't like him.
03:36Come on.
03:37Just talk to him.
03:38He's cute.
03:38He kind of looks like Jason.
03:40Hello.
03:41Hi, is everything okay over there?
03:43Depending on what you mean by okay, everything's great.
03:46Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?
03:48Oh, okay.
03:49My name is David.
03:50I'm an actor.
03:51Hey, wait, I know you.
03:53Hey, wait, I know you.
03:54You're the cell phone guy in the costume.
03:56That's just sad.
04:00He's our first interview.
04:01Come on, let's go.
04:03Hi, excuse me.
04:04Oh, I'm sorry.
04:06I'm sorry.
04:08Hi, I 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, we gotta go back to Seattle.
04:16That's right.
04:17And you're the reporter?
04:19Yeah.
04:20I was sorry to hear about the newspaper shutting down.
04:22Did you lose your job, or...?
04:24What do you think?
04:25Right.
04:25Sorry.
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 fiancé for a weekend, I should probably call it quits.
04:44Are you free to meet Hillary tomorrow face-to-face?
04:47Sure thing.
04:50Hey.
04:51Okay, so, I Facebooked 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 with some chick named Lindsay on a beach.
05:00So, looks like he's not a psycho.
05:02He's just another out-of-work loser actor.
05:04Did you sound like my agent?
05:06Oh, hi.
05:07Hi.
05:08Um, you two have fun.
05:11Great.
05:12Hi.
05:13Hi.
05:14Hi.
05:16So, I checked out?
05:18Yeah, seems like it.
05:20Do you think that Jason is more of a corporate lawyer type or...
05:24Corporate?
05:24What kind of car do you drive?
05:26Uh, 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, fully loaded.
05:28We'll take my car.
05:29Okay.
05:30Okay, I'm going to friend you on Facebook, accept my request, click on all my family photo albums, memorize all the names, everybody's clearly marked.
05:37Okay, will do.
05:38Okay.
05:39Well, I guess I'll pick you up here, tomorrow, 8 a.m. sharp.
05:43Sounds good.
05:46Okay.
05:46Sorry, I don't know what's going on here with the thing, the hair.
05:58I'll take care of it.
06:00Yeah?
06:01Okay.
06:02Bye.
06:06Because I'm going to buy your coffee.
06:16You 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.
06:30I don't know if I'm going to 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, I'm a 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.
06:57Paul.
06:57Peter.
06:58You gotta get these straight.
06:59They're all gonna be at the party.
07:00Party?
07:01Yeah, 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.
07:16We're in Pittsburgh, so.
07:18Oh, look.
07:19Here we are.
07:23Okay.
07:24Just remember, say as little as possible and follow my lead.
07:27Here we go.
07:29Here we go.
07:30Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey.
07:33You're finally here.
07:34Oh, sweetie.
07:36Come here.
07:37Come here.
07:39Huh?
07:41You know, you could wash that car every once in a while.
07:44What about Jason's Tesla?
07:45Oh, I wanted a ride in there.
07:47Oh, that was my fault.
07:48I wanted to save my mileage, so we took the Jetta instead.
07:52Oh, well.
07:53At least we finally get to meet Jason.
07:55Oh.
07:56Oh.
07:57You're practically part of the family now.
08:01Yeah.
08:01Okay, well, let's go in.
08:03Okay.
08:03Everybody'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.
08:18Everyone, this is Hillary's fiancée, Jason.
08:22Hi.
08:23Hi.
08:24How's it going?
08:25Oh, hey.
08:27So, Jason?
08:29Yeah.
08:29You were that firm that's defending that schmuck, Shorman.
08:33Shorman?
08:33Yeah, man, he's as guilty as they come, if you ask me.
08:36Filking 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, Jason?
08:44Jason?
08:45Yeah.
08:47Mr. Burns.
08:48Call 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?
08:54Well, you know what?
08:55Frank, why don't you get yourself some eggnog?
08:57I just whipped up a fresh batch.
08:59That's a good time.
08:59Thanks, man.
09:01Frank just comes for the eggnog.
09:02Yeah.
09:02So, listen, what kind of cases do you do?
09:05Do you do, I don't know, fraud or extortion or money laundering?
09:10Yeah.
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, doing all that lawyering.
09:19Did you play?
09:20Uh, yes, but quite badly.
09:22No, that would be great.
09:24You mind if I...
09:25Oh.
09:28You know, when Hillary was young, she used to sing.
09:32Oh?
09:33That's...
09:34No.
09:34Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:43Okay, everybody, it's time to show the engagement ring.
09:47Wait till you see this beauty.
09:50Ta-da!
09:50Uh...
09:51So...
09:52I, I, I, I...
09:55I, I, I, I...
09:58Where's the ring?
09:59I, I, I...
10:00What happened to the ring?
10:01That's a funny story, actually, right?
10:04Sweetie?
10:04It turns out Hillary lost a few pounds, and the ring doesn't fit her anymore.
10:08And this morning, she's taking a shower, she gets out of the shower, and the ring falls
10:13off her finger into the toilet.
10:14She calls me hysteric.
10:16Crazy.
10:16I 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?
10:23Yeah.
10:23I've got to do it.
10:23It's go time.
10:24So I, I, I get down there on my knees, and I, I, I go in there.
10:27I go in there.
10:28I go in deep.
10:29I can feel it.
10:30I can feel it right there.
10:30It gets away, then I have to, I have to go a little bit deeper, and I'm reaching for it,
10:33and, ah, ah, ah, nope, deeper, deeper.
10:36Yes, really, small hands, it's disturbing, actually.
10:38And, and, and, I, I can feel it, I can feel it, right, right on the edge of my finger.
10:41It's right there, it's right there, and, I got it.
10:44I got the ring.
10:45I got the ring.
10:46Yeah, it's so cute.
10:47Oh, my God.
10:48We decided to leave it home, till we get it resized.
10:51Yeah, yeah, it's better safe than sorry.
10:53Right, sweetie?
10:56Mm-hmm.
10:57I'm gonna get a drink.
11:02Hey, hell, isn't it?
11:03I thought you quit.
11:05I did.
11:08So, is my fiancé boring yours with his foot talk yet?
11:11No, but I think David's got his hands pretty full.
11:16Did I say David?
11:18Yeah.
11:18And Jason, of course.
11:21David's a friend.
11:22I was on the phone.
11:24Hey, well, I guess we better go back in there.
11:27If Mom has anything else to surprise me with, can you please tell me?
11:31Deal.
11:31Good to see you.
11:33Oh, my sweetie.
11:35Welcome to this.
11:35Our picture's taken.
11:37The family photo.
11:38Yes, we always gather together here.
11:40Hey, everybody.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Oh, my God.
11:43Oh, my God.
11:43Oh, my God.
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.
11:52of course. Just separate beds. And if you need extra pillows or blankets, just ask me.
12:02That's okay, mom. I think I know where everything is. Okay, well, you take it tonight, I'll
12:06take it tomorrow night. Whatever you want. Okay. I'm gonna go get change for bed. Okay.
12:11Sorry. No, I'm sorry. I thought you were still in the... Pajamas, please. No, I don't wear pajamas.
12:30I didn't bring it. Okay, it's fine. I'll just find. See if my dad has them. Great.
12:41Daddy? Daddy. I plead not guilty. Sorry? What? Sorry? I came to ask you if Jason could borrow
12:50some pajamas. Oh, I don't have any. Your mother and I sleep in the wrong. Ugh, since when?
12:56Since Joy went off to college. We ran around naked for a week. You should have seen your mother.
13:01All right, I don't, I don't need you. This guy, this Jason, he treats you right, does he?
13:07Yeah, yeah, of course. What? You love him? What? It's an easy question, should be an easy answer.
13:15Dad, I'm marrying the guy. So, do you love him? Yes, I do.
13:25Hey. The Beatles are right, after all. All you need is love.
13:32Hey, look, it's, it's, um, sorry, I'm going somewhere. And, uh, it's nothing important. But, uh, I just wanted to let you know that I may have locked into some tickets that I have from Carmen.
13:42And, um, I don't know, I thought maybe you might want to go? You know. Hey, um, I may have locked into some tickets that I have from Carmen.
13:52And, um, I don't know, I thought maybe you might want to go? You know. Hey, um, call me.
14:13Good morning. Morning, sweetheart. Where's Trish and Gil?
14:29Trish has sold the hotel. Gil hasn't shown up yet.
14:32Why are they staying at a hotel when there's plenty of room here?
14:35Well, with Emma and the nanny, maybe they felt they'd be a bother.
14:39I don't even know why Trish has a nanny. I mean, come on. I felt like she's ever had a job.
14:44But it's nice that her husband can afford to give her whatever she wants. He's just never around.
14:50How about Jason? How much does he earn? Mom.
14:54Oh, sweetie, I just want to make sure that you're cared for.
14:58Oh, come on, Mom. It is the 21st century. You don't need to be cared for. We have our own jobs. Right, Gil?
15:06Actually, the newspaper I was working for shut down.
15:09Oh, honey, not again.
15:11Well, it's not my fault. Nobody reads newspapers anymore. Everything's on the Internet.
15:15I know.
15:16Well, just in time, I want you to tell me if my yam casserole is sweet enough.
15:22Oh, 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.
15:33Okay.
15:38I made that with Splenda instead of sugar.
15:41Oh, yeah. Maybe just a little more time. He is really funny.
15:49He is. He really is. He's so funny. He's such a kidder.
15:53Well, I just hope he's more serious when it comes to setting a wedding date. Please don't start.
15:59Honey, I'm sorry if I seem a little anxious. It's just that I have been deprived of planning the weddings for not one, but two of my daughters.
16:12Here we go.
16:13Can't you girls understand that a mother wants to plan her daughter's weddings?
16:19Oh, since you were babies, I dreamed of this. And then to find out that Trisha eloped to an island.
16:26Well, what about Joy? Joy's engaged.
16:28Yes. Joy's engaged. Yes, she is. And has been for two years.
16:33I will be six feet under by the time she sets a date.
16:40I'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.
16:50I'm, I'm December 21st. I'm, I'm December 21st.
16:56I didn't want to tell you. I wanted to, we were going to surprise you at dinner, but that's it. December 21st.
17:03You're getting married on December 21st?
17:05Yes.
17:06Oh, my God. It's kind of soon, but it's fabulous.
17:10Oh, my darling. They're all, oh, this is fantastic. Oh, did you hear?
17:16I'm so happy.
17:18Well, okay, I have to book see the community hall and, and call Gail's Greenery. I don't even know the number.
17:24We wanted something small.
17:36What are they doing out there?
17:37Well, your father got it in his head that he was going to deep fry the turkey this year.
17:43Once we get this baby boiling, you just rig the bird up to this line, just drop it in the oil, huh?
17:48Whatever you say.
17:49All right, let's fire this bad boy up.
17:51All right. Get that, would you?
17:52Yeah.
17:53Let me ask you something.
17:54Uh-huh.
17:55Do you ever, uh, represent a councilman or a politician or anything?
17:57No, but not personally.
17:59But you could, huh?
18:00Sure. Good to know. Good to know.
18:04Uh, wait, don't you want to wait until the oil, top?
18:08Come on, we're missing the gate.
18:10Besides, it's going to take half an hour for it to get boiling. Come on.
18:12Oh, God. Okay.
18:14Okay.
18:15So, it's me.
18:16No, things are not going well at all. I just told my mom that David and I are getting married in a month.
18:20You're marrying David now? That was quick.
18:22No, no, no. Me and Jason. I just, I blurted it out that we're getting married on December 21st.
18:27Wait, what? This is nuts. We're putting you on speaker.
18:30Well, no, because what if Jason really did get cold feet and he's going to come back to me because I mean more than, more than Pittsburgh.
18:36And then the wedding's already planned, which is, which is actually not that crazy.
18:41No, it's crazy, Hill. It's super crazy.
18:43I know, that's crazy.
18:45What am I going to do?
18:46Look, I don't know. Surf's up.
18:48Greg's going to be here any minute. I gotta go.
18:50What?
18:51Yeah, just listen to your heart.
18:53Just ride the wave. Just ride the wave.
18:57What? Surf's up.
18:58Cowabunga.
18:59Sophie. Sophie.
19:02You know, Roy, I think it's probably been 30 minutes. Should we go check on the pot?
19:08You know, I could use a little, you know, legal counsel.
19:14Oh, well, you're a councilman, right? I'm sure you have a great lawyer.
19:19He's a little too involved. You know what I mean?
19:23Anyway, what would be better than keeping it in a family?
19:27All right, well, I guess I better go. Drop that bird in the oil.
19:30Oh, are you sure you don't need a hand with that?
19:32No, no, I got it covered.
19:34Uh, ticklish.
19:40Hi.
19:42It's beeping.
19:46Peter, can I have my foot back now?
19:49Oh, of course.
19:51You're welcome.
19:52Anything important?
20:08What? Oh, no. No, nothing important.
20:11Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh
20:41For the love of...
20:44Well, this isn't so bad.
20:50Oh, um, I asked for seltzer.
20:54This looks like tap water with cheese floating in it.
20:58Sorry, Mrs. Burns.
21:01I can see that your old boyfriend hasn't amounted to much.
21:06Hi!
21:06Sorry we're late.
21:08Hey, where's Gil?
21:10Oh, uh, the benefit that he was attending ran late, so now he's snowed in, in New York.
21:17Well, that's too bad.
21:19I know.
21:19If he were here, he could have gotten us a table at the golf club.
21:22Then we wouldn't have to eat in this dump.
21:24Hey, it's not snowing in New York.
21:26Hmm.
21:27You know, Gilbert has a platinum membership to all the best clubs.
21:31Well, I'm not a big golf fan, so this place suits me just fine.
21:36This is fine. This is great. I...
21:40No?
21:41I see.
21:42I thought you said that you met Jason at a charity golf tournament that you were covering for that paper.
21:49That's right.
21:50That's right. Yeah, but I'm not a fan of the golf, but, you know, like a spectator.
21:57But I just play, but very, very badly.
21:59Very, very badly. That's why they gave you a car.
22:03Yeah.
22:04A Tesla, right?
22:05Yes.
22:05He won the car at the tournament, and then you interviewed the winner.
22:09Look at me.
22:09He forgets everything, right, honey?
22:12Crazy.
22:12I think you're sandbagging, aren't you?
22:14No, I'm not sandbagging.
22:16Hola.
22:17Oh, thank God.
22:17My name is Paco, and I'll be your server this holiday evening.
22:21Would you like to hear about our specials?
22:22Ah, seguro.
22:23Uh, okay, well, basically what we have is anything that's chicken, pollo, we switch that out for guajolote.
22:32Guajolote?
22:34Oh!
22:35Guajolote.
22:36That means turkey, and that turkey tacos are particularly delicious tonight.
22:41David?
22:42Yes?
22:44Hey, it's Julian.
22:46Hi, Julian.
22:47Hey.
22:48Hey there.
22:49Hi there.
22:50But my name is Jason.
22:52Jason?
22:53Jason is my name.
22:55No, it's not.
22:55Really?
22:57Yeah, it's Jason.
22:58But my...
22:59David is my middle name, so there's confusion sometimes.
23:03Oh, okay.
23:03Alrighty.
23:04Well, it's been a while since we did that bus and truck tour pair together.
23:09Oh, God, you look good.
23:10Are you still in the biz?
23:12Yes.
23:13So, what are you doing?
23:14Oh, you're looking at it.
23:15It's a nightmare, yeah.
23:16I had to move back in with my parents to get a more stable career going on.
23:19So, here I am.
23:21All right, 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 of the wise, don't get the huevos rancheros.
23:31I had them for breakfast.
23:32I feel like there's a knife in my colon.
23:34Happy Turkey Day, everyone.
23:35Olé!
23:36Olé!
23:36So, Jason, David, what biz are you still in?
23:48Oh, I'm in the law.
23:49I do a little pro bono work.
23:55I'm charity.
23:57And I represented a few theater companies a few years back.
24:02So, theater people are so...
24:05I'm crazy.
24:07I do some salsa.
24:08Mm-hmm.
24:09He's a giver.
24:10Mm.
24:11Mm.
24:13How could you forget we went over that at least half of those times?
24:16I've never played golf before.
24:18It's not a part of my repertoire.
24:19And what was all that with the crazy waiter in the diner?
24:21We were in a production of hair eight years ago.
24:23How was I supposed to know we'd end up in...
24:25Where are we, anyway?
24:26Is everything okay?
24:28Yes.
24:28We were just talking about the mix-up in the diner.
24:32Oh, what mix-up?
24:34Well, I'm pooped.
24:35Oh, I'm pooped, too.
24:37It's not every day that we blow up a turkey around here.
24:40You know, dinner was actually kind of fun, and the Mexican food wasn't half bad.
24:44Oh, that's good.
24:45Not as good as your turkey dinner would have been.
24:47Wasn'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.
24:54Mm.
24:55Well, you know, I didn't want to deep-fry that turkey in the first place.
24:59But when Hillary gets an idea stuck in his head...
25:03But we've got, uh, stuffing, three pies, and my yam casserole, which is always better on the second day, anyway.
25:10Mm, that is so true.
25:12You know, it's getting late.
25:14Uh-huh.
25:14So you go to bed, get a good night's sleep, and we'll see you in the morning, okay?
25:20Good night.
25:22Your turn to sleep on the cot.
25:25I'm sorry.
25:28No.
25:30No, it was me.
25:31I dropped the ball.
25:34And I just, I don't know why you're doing this.
25:37I mean, I know you want the tickets, but there's gotta be an easier way to get to Mexico.
25:43Playa del Carmen.
25:44It's where I met my girlfriend.
25:48Or, rather, my ex-girlfriend.
25:50I guess I thought that if I took her back to the resort where we met, and, I don't know, it might reignite the spark or something.
26:00But I didn't have enough money for the ticket, so?
26:04Well, I'm sure it'll work.
26:08I hope so.
26:10I mean, she's kind of dating this other guy right now.
26:13But who does she call every time they break up?
26:19Me.
26:20So, obviously, she, deep down, she really doesn't want to be with him.
26:26So, you're the get-back guy.
26:30What?
26:31What, man?
26:34The get-back guy?
26:35You know, the guy she calls to get back at her ex.
26:38No, I'm not that guy.
26:39He's that guy.
26:40Well, when you met her, was she seeing him?
26:42No, they just broken up.
26:44See?
26:45No, no, no.
26:46It's not like that.
26:47No, they broke up.
26:49Uh-huh.
26:49And then we met.
26:51And then we were, you know, together.
26:54Like a couple.
26:55For how long?
26:56For, you know, five weeks.
27:01And then she went back to him?
27:03Yeah, but she keeps calling me.
27:06All right, it may look like I'm the get-back guy,
27:10but I know that all she needs to do is get away from that hold he has on her,
27:16and then she can realize that what she really wants is me.
27:22Okay.
27:23Trust me.
27:25I know.
27:26She's materialistic and sentimental.
27:28So, this could work.
27:30Maybe.
27:31I mean, the ticket.
27:36Are you hungry?
27:39You know, I was bummed when the post closed down.
27:43That was my Sunday morning read.
27:44I love that funky rag.
27:45I know.
27:45The end of an era.
27:47So, are you going to find another gay reporting or something?
27:50I don't know.
27:51I mean, the only reason why I got that job was because my friend Sophie worked there,
27:54and I needed it, and I thought I'm very good at it.
27:58You wrote that article a few weeks back about the animal shelter, right?
28:02Yeah, that was me.
28:03Well, you must have some talent.
28:05I mean, it's thanks to you that I am now the proud owner of the same dog you were hugging in that photo.
28:11You rescued Skittles from the animal shelter because of what I wrote?
28:14Yeah, only his name's Whiskey now.
28:17Yeah, I'm going to miss the post.
28:19I mean, I get all the news I can handle online, but I'm going to hold something, you know?
28:26Not just my laptop, but an actual newspaper.
28:29Yeah, I love print.
28:30Who says print is dead?
28:31Let's start a revolution.
28:32Even a print.
28:35Nice.
28:35What about you?
28:39This and that cell phone gig are the only paying jobs I've had in a while.
28:43Hmm.
28:45Look at the pair of us.
28:47Dumped, unemployed, and eating sugar and carbs at midnight.
28:50Right.
28:51Oh.
28:54Who is it?
28:55I don't know.
29:00We should take this upstairs.
29:02Great idea.
29:03Only two more days to go.
29:05If we lie low, we just go with it, and then we can totally get through this.
29:10No, let's not pressure low.
29:12Let's get out of here and go sightseeing or something.
29:14Good plan.
29:14Wow.
29:21No.
29:22Oh, sorry.
29:23Oh, you startled me.
29:25It's beautiful.
29:27Oh, well, it will be.
29:29You do this all yourself?
29:30Every year.
29:31Um, can I help you at all?
29:33No.
29:34Oh.
29:36I'm sorry.
29:39Uh, okay.
29:40There is a wreath over there that I had designed for the mantle, yes.
29:46Here?
29:46Pick it up very carefully, and it belongs right on the mantle in the center, okay?
29:52Watch yourself on that ladder.
29:53Oh, I got it.
29:57Thank you, Jason.
29:58Don't worry about it.
30:00It's a little crooked.
30:02There.
30:03No, I mean, thank you for Thanksgiving and for being such a good sport today.
30:10And thank you for loving my daughter.
30:18She loves you very much, you know.
30:23I can see it in her face.
30:26Well, I love her, too, Mrs. Burns.
30:33Oh, call me Meredith.
30:35Please.
30:36Or, or Mom, if you like.
30:39Uh-huh.
30:40Okay.
30:44Listen, uh, can I give you a hand with anything else, or?
30:47After 20-some years, I've got it down to a science.
30:50All right.
30:53I'll, um, head up to bed, then.
30:58Good night, Jason.
30:59Good night.
31:08Good night, Mom.
31:20Hey, Hillary.
31:22Yeah.
31:23You see this?
31:24Oh, yeah.
31:25My mom does this every year after Thanksgiving.
31:26It's her tradition.
31:28When we were little, we used to think it was elves or something.
31:37Just the two I was looking for.
31:40I know you're only here for a few more days,
31:46but we have to find the perfect wedding dress
31:50and pick the china and the linens and the cake.
31:54Oh, I think you should go, hon.
31:56I mean, go with it.
31:58Isn't that what brides are supposed to do?
32:00Go dress shopping with their mothers?
32:02Yes, of course.
32:03Yeah.
32:04But I really think it's a good idea to go shopping on Black Friday.
32:07Let's go shopping!
32:09Let's go shopping!
32:10Yay!
32:11Yay!
32:11Yay!
32:12Yay!
32:12Yay!
32:12Yay!
32:12Yay!
32:13Yay!
32:13Yay!
32:13Yay!
32:14Yay!
32:14Yay!
32:15Yay!
32:16Yay!
32:22Mom, look.
32:24Oh, it's beautiful!
32:26Yum-dum-dum-dum.
32:28Here.
32:29Hold my purse.
32:30Thanks.
32:33Here.
32:34Okay.
32:34Thanks.
32:39Are you almost ready?
32:41Oh!
32:42Oh!
32:43Oh!
32:44Hillary, it looks beautiful.
32:46Beautiful.
32:47Oh, honey, you look beautiful.
32:49Pretty.
32:50Thank you very much.
32:53Oh, darling, I love you.
32:55Yeah?
32:56Yeah.
32:57Oh.
33:00So what's going on with you and Jason?
33:03Nothing.
33:05My point exactly.
33:06We're two young lovebirds.
33:08I don't see much affection.
33:12No kiss, no hug.
33:14Mom, he's just not a touchy-feely guy.
33:15Don't worry about it.
33:16I just want to be able to see your marriage succeed, you know.
33:21Most marriages fall apart first in the bedroom.
33:26You know, your father and I make love three times a week.
33:29Ah, my ears are bleeding.
33:31Jason's a good catch.
33:33A little odd and nervous, I guess, but I like him.
33:38He's good for you.
33:41Mm-mm.
33:43Mm-mm.
33:45Pretty.
33:46Oh.
33:48Pretty.
33:49Oh.
33:49Is she getting married?
33:50Well, yes, of course.
33:52I'm not.
33:53Oh.
33:54My therapist says that I should visualize what I want and it will manifest itself.
33:58Well, that sounds like a very good strategy.
34:03I want that dress.
34:04I'll take it.
34:07That's beautiful.
34:09Nice.
34:10Oh, ma'am.
34:11Ma'am, that is my fiancé's dress.
34:13I saw it first and it's mine.
34:15Okay, can I have you, please?
34:16No.
34:16Look, of your way.
34:17Pretty!
34:18Oh, my God.
34:19Oh, my God.
34:22Who dressed my bride?
34:23Just between you and I, how would you advise a client to proceed if it was discovered
34:33that, let's say, he was getting money for selling, I don't know, votes?
34:38I would probably advise that person to stop talking about it and definitely not tell any
34:42longer, kid.
34:42Hey, there's no one.
34:44Gotcha.
34:45Gotcha.
34:45Hey, so what do you like better, cups or mugs?
34:49I don't know.
34:50I think we get better used out of mugs.
34:52What do you think?
34:52Table setting for eight or twelve?
34:54Hillary, can I talk to you outside for a minute?
34:57Yeah.
35:00What, what, what?
35:02You do realize that we're not actually getting married, right?
35:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:08Yeah.
35:10But what if Jason actually did get cold feet?
35:12I mean, a lot of people think they want to move to Pittsburgh and then they change their
35:16mind.
35:17Hey, look sharp, kid.
35:18There is someone here to see you.
35:26Oh, Father Macy, what are you doing here?
35:28Well, sweetie, your wedding is in less than a month.
35:31You 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.
35:40Hi, Father.
35:41Jason.
35:42So, is there somewhere we could go and talk?
35:45Well, it's a beautiful day.
35:47Why don't you take a walk?
35:48Perfect.
35:49So, Jason, you're going to marry Hillary.
35:52That's what they keep telling me.
35:53I would like to make sure that you're both headed on the same path.
35:57That you share the same ideals and beliefs, for if not, the marriage could suffer.
36:03So, Jason, tell me, which church were you raised in?
36:07Well, I didn't actually go to church.
36:10No worries.
36:11Are you Roman Catholic?
36:12No.
36:13Protestant?
36:14Mm-mm.
36:15LDS?
36:16Jewish.
36:18Jewish.
36:20Well, I see.
36:22I'm sure you understand, then, that I would not be able to perform the ceremony.
36:26No, we talked about this, and Jason has no problem with converting.
36:29Actually, I...
36:30Oh, I have a wonderful idea.
36:33We could have Jason baptized at the same time as Emma.
36:36Well, I don't...
36:37No, Trish, I don't...
36:38Yeah, that could...
36:40Wow.
36:41Oh, no way.
36:42No way I'm getting baptized.
36:44Come 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.
36:49What are you even talking about?
36:50My grandma, Turtletop, would roll in her grave if she knew I was doing this.
36:54My mom will be so disappointed if we don't have a wedding at her church.
36:57What wedding, Hillary?
36:59We're not really getting married.
37:01Just quiet.
37:01Shh.
37:02Oh.
37:04Oh, my God.
37:06I'm so sorry.
37:08This is so stupid.
37:10You're right.
37:11This is so stupid.
37:12What am I doing?
37:12This is so stupid.
37:13I mean, here I am, trying to do everything to make my mother happy.
37:18And for what?
37:19To set her up for my greatest disappointment ever.
37:23That's so foolish to think Jason is actually coming back.
37:26He's not coming back.
37:27I mean, he's in Pittsburgh.
37:28He's happy to be rid of me.
37:36Here.
37:39Just give the voucher numbers to the airline for your tickets.
37:43Take them.
37:47You earn them.
37:48But the...
37:50The weekend's not even over yet.
37:52Please.
37:53I couldn't expect you to stay when the crap hits the fan.
37:56I mean, God knows you've been thrown up already.
38:00Yeah.
38:02So, uh, this is it.
38:04Engagement's off.
38:06Yeah.
38:07Yeah.
38:08Engagement's off.
38:09Yeah.
38:13Um, is there a train or something I should catch?
38:20Yeah.
38:22Um, you missed the 5.30, but I think there's an 11.30.
38:26Well, that's...
38:27That's better.
38:28I should probably wait to leave until after everyone's gone to bed.
38:31So...
38:32Thanks.
38:33Sure.
38:33Well, that was, uh, fun.
38:49Right?
38:49Yeah.
38:51Good luck with, uh, everything.
38:55Hope you find the spark in Mexico.
38:56Thanks.
38:58Um...
38:59Hey, sis.
39:27I'll call you tomorrow.
39:32Good.
39:33Is that the waiter from the diner?
39:35Yep.
39:36Stu and I dated for a couple months before Mom set me up with the footman.
39:40She thought Stu wasn't good enough, so...
39:43She worked her magic, and the next thing I knew, Stu was out of the picture,
39:47and I was engaged to Pete the podiatrist.
39:51Is that why you haven't set a date?
39:53Hmm.
39:53Oh.
39:53Don't get me wrong.
39:55Pete's a good man.
39:57A little weird.
39:58Hmm.
39:59But...
40:00Good guy.
40:02I just don't love him.
40:06Not like I love Stu.
40:08What's really going on with you and Jason?
40:11Jason dumped me a week ago.
40:13So I hired an actor named David to play my fiancée for the weekend.
40:22You what?
40:24Wait.
40:25Wait.
40:27Okay.
40:28So...
40:28Where did Jason or David go?
40:32Left...
40:33Left...
40:34Just...
40:36I don't know.
40:38It's left.
40:39It's...
40:39I don't know.
40:42Oh, wow.
40:43But...
40:45You like him.
40:46David, you like David.
40:47I...
40:48What?
40:48I don't like David.
40:49I don't even know David.
40:51It's crazy.
40:52I like David.
40:54Yes.
40:55There's something I have to tell you.
40:57About Jason.
40:58He dumped me.
41:00I am well aware of what's going on.
41:03You are?
41:04Yes.
41:04I saw him leaving last night.
41:06Oh.
41:07That's just part of it.
41:08That's not...
41:09Hillary Jean.
41:10I 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.
41:23No direction.
41:24And now I guess no Jason.
41:26Guess again.
41:28I'm sitting in his car.
41:29I 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, aren't you two going to kiss and make up?
41:45Go on.
41:46Come on.
41:48Okay.
41:48Okay.
41:48Okay.
41:58Should I call Father Macy?
42:10I don't know.
42:11I don't know.
42:12No.
42:13No, that's fine.
42:13Call him.
42:14Call him.
42:15Call him.
42:17I gotta...
42:18I should go unpack.
42:20I told you.
42:23Yeah.
42:34Hey, we had a deal, right?
42:35So, 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.
42:46I don't know about me, but I'm sure she and Peggy will have a great time.
42:50What do you mean?
42:51She thought I was giving her the tickets.
42:55Oh, I'll...
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.
43:08Hi, Liz.
43:09So, do the tickets?
43:12Yeah, about that.
43:12Um, you know, when I told you about these tickets, I was kind of hoping that you and I would go and have a really nice time.
43:18Just wait till Matt finds out that I'm going to Mexico.
43:22Right.
43:22Can we not talk about Matt, baby?
43:24Oh, my God.
43:25He's going to be so pissed.
43:27Hey, hi.
43:28Hi.
43:30Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
43:32I had to meet 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.
43:48And, God, I guess I'm lucky he's not into party girls, huh?
43:51Did 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.
44:01Like 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.
44:08Yes.
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, right?
44:21Because it's not like we can 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, Lindy.
44:49Ah!
44:50Mm-hmm.
44:55Mm-hmm.
44:55Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing of the plains.
45:17Gloria in excelsis Deo.
45:37Oh, 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.
45:58Just beautiful.
46:04Jason.
46:04What are you doing here?
46:11I wanted to see you.
46:13Who is it, honey?
46:16Oh.
46:18Mom.
46:19Dad.
46:22Everybody.
46:24This 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 me?
47:08No.
47:10Hillary, can we talk?
47:11I'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.
47:21You do?
47:23Because I don't.
47:24People do crazy things when their hearts have been broken.
47:27Besides, harboring 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.
47:40Sharpelle gave the promotion to his idiot nephew.
47:45But, none of that matters anymore.
47:48Because 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.
48:33She's the one who's perfect.
48:35She's kind, and she's beautiful.
48:38And 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.
48:49All she wants is to keep you happy.
48:55And Meredith, I'm sorry that I deceived you.
49:00I truly am very sorry.
49:03And 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, like 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, the real Jason, not the fake Jason,
50:00does he have any other talents besides being a good lawyer?
50:05What do you mean?
50:07Can you rig a turkey?
50:09Maybe play a tune?
50:11Jason?
50:12I don't think so.
50:15What do you make?
50:15You 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.
50:28Maybe it's time you told her what you want.
50:32If you know what you want.
50:33Mom?
50:34Mom?
50:35Oh, Hillary.
50:39I'm so sorry, honey.
50:42You sent all these beautiful articles, and I'm sorry, I didn't read them.
50:48Mom.
50:48You've always been a gifted writer.
50:50And all of those wonderful things that David yelled at me.
50:55Do you love Jason?
50:59Not, not, I mean, you know, the real Jason.
51:02Oh, I know what you mean.
51:07No.
51:11I think I hate him.
51:14Me too.
51:14Do you love David?
51:24I hate him.
51:25I've got to buy you a car.
51:47Thanks.
51:48I have four copies, right?
51:52What?
51:53You say my car?
51:55Hillary, what?
51:56Are you?
51:57Where are you going?
52:17I'll call you a cab.
52:18I'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.
52:47What does that make me?
52:55Not a mistake.
52:57You're here.
52:57Mm-hmm.
52:58What does that make me?
52:59Not a mistake.
52:59You're here.
53:00Mm-hmm.
53:00What does that make me?
53:01Not a mistake.
53:01Not a mistake.
53:02You're here.
53:03I'm here.
53:05I'm here.
53:10I'm here.
53:12You're here.
53:13I'm here.
