00:00:00Merry Christmas to you!
00:00:30Merry Christmas to you!
00:01:00Oh, could you hand me that?
00:01:03This is, uh, a little more Christmas than I was expecting.
00:01:06It's just a couple snowflakes.
00:01:10Chloe, I thought I said no tree.
00:01:13You said no big tree, and it's modern.
00:01:16You'll barely even notice it.
00:01:21Morning, Simon.
00:01:25Drop your other cases.
00:01:26You need to work exclusively on this one.
00:01:29Let's go in arbitration.
00:01:29Any questions?
00:01:31Ask me directly.
00:01:32Of course.
00:01:33I'll get right on it.
00:01:34And, Zara, the Bensons are long-time clients of ours.
00:01:39Can't afford to lose them.
00:01:42This could be your opportunity to move up the ranks.
00:01:46Or down.
00:01:47Great.
00:01:52So this will either make me or break me.
00:01:54And I'm just the thing to cheer you up.
00:01:57That wind.
00:02:13Yeah.
00:02:16Hey.
00:02:18Halloween is over?
00:02:19He's right.
00:02:22We look ridiculous.
00:02:24We look in character.
00:02:26People don't just wear costumes at Halloween.
00:02:28I'll have to get this dry cleaned before I return it.
00:02:31And these boots are killing me.
00:02:34How did women walk back then?
00:02:36Rich ones didn't.
00:02:37They had carriages.
00:02:38I could use one of those right now.
00:02:40Let's go back and rent one.
00:02:42Look, I know the holidays are hard for you.
00:02:44But you promised you'd try to have fun.
00:02:46Don't be such a scrooge.
00:02:49These clothes aren't practical.
00:02:51Okay, well, I'm happy to stop her for one night as a Victorian fashion victim.
00:02:56Hi, Simon.
00:02:58They have.
00:03:00I understand.
00:03:01I'll have them to you as soon as possible.
00:03:03Yeah.
00:03:04Okay.
00:03:05Bye.
00:03:06Hey.
00:03:07You're working your life away.
00:03:08Come on.
00:03:09I don't want to miss out on any of this.
00:03:11They can't eat food and getting to tour a beautiful old house.
00:03:16Come on.
00:03:17Victorian-era houses often had brickwork.
00:03:20These were painted over in a horrible green.
00:03:23Do you think you could explain the entire history of brickwork indoors?
00:03:27Preferably by a radiator?
00:03:31Well, you wouldn't believe it.
00:03:32The other side of these bricks were perfectly fine.
00:03:34So we cut them out and turned each and every one of them around and voila!
00:03:39Come along.
00:03:40This is just the thing to get you in the holiday spirit.
00:03:43The problem is...
00:03:45The holidays creep up earlier and earlier.
00:03:47I never feel prepared or ready.
00:03:50I always end up last-minute shopping.
00:03:51Forget that.
00:03:52Get ready to leave modern times and to enter the 19th century.
00:03:56Only the century would let me...
00:03:58How bad is it?
00:04:01I know a greasing dress.
00:04:04We'll figure it out later.
00:04:07It's warm right in here.
00:04:15It's nice.
00:04:15Let's breathe.
00:04:20You know what you're doing.
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:26Alice, can you please take a picture of Zara and me here?
00:04:29Of course.
00:04:30You girls would fit right into the Victorian era.
00:04:34Sorry.
00:04:36I think it's just my allergy to the smoke.
00:04:40That's okay.
00:04:41We'll try another.
00:04:44It's like...
00:04:45Oh, okay.
00:04:48We're good.
00:04:49Okay.
00:04:51Oh!
00:04:55Let me fix...
00:04:56Let me fix...
00:04:56Okay, it's good.
00:04:58Okay, it's good.
00:04:58Here we go.
00:05:01I took quite a few.
00:05:03I need to make sure the main dish is ready.
00:05:09Oh, delete those.
00:05:11No.
00:05:12They're not all bad.
00:05:13There's some good ones here.
00:05:14Look.
00:05:14Those are terrible.
00:05:17Look at that.
00:05:18Okay, okay.
00:05:19Fine.
00:05:20I promise.
00:05:21No more photos.
00:05:26They look beautiful.
00:05:28This is our priceless collection of Victorian dolls.
00:05:39Aren't they gorgeous?
00:05:40Those are a bit too lifelike for me.
00:05:44They're creeping me out.
00:05:45Me too.
00:05:46I've seen way too many scary movies with creepy dolls that come to life.
00:05:49A toast to the beginning of our Dickens dinner and the holidays.
00:05:54Now, during the Victorian era, salad was reserved for the upper class because lettuce was expensive
00:06:02and perishable, especially during the winter months.
00:06:06Thank goodness for refrigerators.
00:06:08And chilled champagne.
00:06:08Could you pass the Yorkshire pudding, please?
00:06:29I don't see any pudding, Alice.
00:06:31I had no idea this is what pudding looks like.
00:06:42How is it?
00:06:44It's kind of dry.
00:06:45The best, and really only way to eat it, is with gravy.
00:06:50Oh.
00:07:03I'm so full.
00:07:05Whoa.
00:07:07What?
00:07:07What happened?
00:07:08Are you okay?
00:07:09Oh, okay, just hang in there.
00:07:14The evening's almost over.
00:07:16Come on, put in your purse or something.
00:07:18If I eat another bite, I'm going to explode out of this dress.
00:07:22Oh, I have room for dessert.
00:07:25Especially if he's dishing it out.
00:07:32Hmm?
00:07:35These antiques are so temperamental.
00:07:39Now, last but not least, I'd like to introduce our hosts for the dessert course,
00:07:45Rafe Morrissey and his son, Nate, and his friend, Austin.
00:07:50But before they delight us with their scrumptious desserts,
00:07:54Rafe is going to explain a little bit about the history of home.
00:07:59Good evening, folks.
00:08:00I apologize.
00:08:01I don't really speak in public often, so thanks for bearing with me.
00:08:05This house had belonged to my aunt and uncle.
00:08:08It's been in my family for years.
00:08:10When they passed away, their son had left it vacant.
00:08:14He eventually accepted our offer to donate it to the Historical Society.
00:08:19Well, I've been left in charge of renovating it.
00:08:22Wow, sweetie.
00:08:23I'm a general contractor, but my passion is renovating old homes.
00:08:27Anyway, we had to restore the entire house because the top floor was left uninhabitable due to water damage.
00:08:34Shall we go take a look?
00:08:36Wait, go slow.
00:08:42Go slow.
00:08:43Now, I'm on my feet all the time, so my favorite way to relax is to sit down with a good book.
00:08:50Most of these have been here since my aunt and uncle lived here.
00:08:55Again.
00:08:55One more thing about this house, that we have a ghost.
00:09:02Don't worry.
00:09:03He's not scary.
00:09:04It's been known to occur in these old houses.
00:09:06This happens all the time, often with the lingering smell of the pipe.
00:09:11I would find a misplaced book, often about Charles Dickens, and usually in the bathroom.
00:09:16I guess our ghost enjoyed leisurely baths while reading when he was alive.
00:09:21Oh, my.
00:09:22It's time for dessert, everybody.
00:09:23Daddy?
00:09:25Nope.
00:09:26We need to tell the ghosts to stay put so that he doesn't follow us.
00:09:29I don't believe in ghosts.
00:09:30Well, I could show them to you if you'd like.
00:09:33Come here.
00:09:34This is my ancestor, Aubrey Morrissey, the original owner.
00:09:39That's him with his wife, Eliza, and his son, Henry.
00:09:41Oh.
00:09:42They looked happy.
00:09:43Well, they used to be until Eliza died giving birth to her second child.
00:09:48Oh.
00:09:49Yeah.
00:09:50How sad.
00:09:51I didn't know Aubrey was a man's name.
00:09:53Well, it was back then.
00:09:58OMG.
00:10:00I just, I just saw the ghost.
00:10:04I took a photo.
00:10:05I thought we said no more photos.
00:10:06I lied.
00:10:08Oh.
00:10:09He's not in here.
00:10:10Because he doesn't exist.
00:10:12Or maybe he didn't want to be seen by us, and just you.
00:10:16I'm Chloe.
00:10:18And this is Zara.
00:10:19Don't encourage her.
00:10:20Okay.
00:10:20Well, uh, ladies, I'm sure you can find your way back to the living room.
00:10:24I'm gonna go take care of dessert.
00:10:29Hmm?
00:10:29I can't control what you post.
00:10:34Just don't tag me.
00:10:37My clients will never take me seriously if they see me like this.
00:10:40Nobody reads your boring legal blogs.
00:10:42At least you'll get some nice with this one.
00:10:44I keep saying you need better social media presence.
00:10:46Here you go.
00:10:58Zara, I noticed you were limping.
00:11:01You okay?
00:11:02Oh, yeah.
00:11:03Fine.
00:11:04I'm just not cut out for Victorian times, unfortunately.
00:11:08It's been one wardrobe malfunction after another.
00:11:11Um, I could try to fix one of those for you.
00:11:14Give me your boot.
00:11:16Really?
00:11:17Come on, give me your boot.
00:11:20Let's see.
00:11:21Do you insist?
00:11:22Yeah, let's see.
00:11:24Wow.
00:11:26Look at that.
00:11:28Okay.
00:11:31In this colorful dish, we have trifle, which is fruit and sponge cake soaked in sherry and
00:11:40custard.
00:11:41Now, the other one is a traditional Christmas pudding, which some of you may have had before.
00:11:46Mm.
00:11:46Compliments to the chef.
00:11:48I don't think I have enough room for dessert.
00:11:51Everyone has room for dessert.
00:11:53Mm.
00:11:53I agree.
00:11:54And dessert has two S's in it, so I'm gonna have both.
00:11:59I'm not gonna eat for a week.
00:12:03Okay.
00:12:03Okay.
00:12:05Uh, here.
00:12:06Allow me.
00:12:08Please.
00:12:08Oh, um, are you sure?
00:12:10Let's try it.
00:12:11Sure.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:12That's fast.
00:12:17There you go.
00:12:18Good old super glue did the trick.
00:12:21Dad.
00:12:22Um, I'm sorry.
00:12:24Uh, kitchen emergency.
00:12:26Yeah.
00:12:26Yeah.
00:12:27It was like you were Cinderella, and he's Prince Charming.
00:12:34Except I'm not wearing glass slippers, and I don't remember super glue being part of the
00:12:38story.
00:12:39Mm.
00:12:39I'm gonna need more of this trifle.
00:12:41It's pronounced trifle.
00:12:43How much sherry was in that trifle?
00:13:00Well, that's, uh, my Welsh grandmother's recipe.
00:13:04No wonder she always went for a wee nap after Christmas dinner.
00:13:07Sorry, forgot my mask.
00:13:20Well, that brings us to the end of a wonderful evening, and I'd like to thank our generous
00:13:25host.
00:13:26And I hope everybody had a great night.
00:13:32Oh.
00:13:33Oh.
00:13:35I'm so sorry.
00:13:37No, no, no.
00:13:37It's okay.
00:13:38I should have secured it badly.
00:13:41Nice catch, Austin.
00:13:42Do you play baseball?
00:13:44I know.
00:13:44Hockey.
00:13:45I'm a goalie, so.
00:13:47Nate's on the team, too.
00:13:48It explains why you have quick reflexes.
00:13:51You okay?
00:13:52Yeah.
00:13:53Fine.
00:13:53Fine.
00:13:53And the house is beautiful.
00:13:58Oh, well, it was our pleasure.
00:14:00You know, Zara likes to read, too.
00:14:03Uh, what kind of books?
00:14:05Well, as a lawyer, I really only have time to read legal briefs.
00:14:09Oh.
00:14:09So.
00:14:10I understand.
00:14:11Um, hey, uh, sorry, I only have one left.
00:14:16Oh, it's okay.
00:14:17Give it to Chloe.
00:14:18I'll get your info from her.
00:14:20Well, if you ever need any work done on your home,
00:14:23I'm your man.
00:14:25Thanks.
00:14:25And if you ever need any legal help,
00:14:28Zara's your girl.
00:14:30Okay.
00:14:32Thanks, Rafe.
00:14:33I'm gonna go say goodbye to Alice.
00:14:35Good night.
00:14:37Okay.
00:14:39I'm sorry.
00:14:40I can't take another step in these.
00:14:41Oh, um, I wouldn't really make a habit of that.
00:14:46We're supposed to get a hard freeze.
00:14:48Really?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:50Don't worry.
00:14:51I won't.
00:14:53Well, it's nice meeting you.
00:14:56Yeah.
00:14:57Good night.
00:14:57Good night.
00:14:59Oh, that is cold.
00:15:01Oh.
00:15:01Come on, Chloe.
00:15:02Oh.
00:15:02Well, that was fun.
00:15:12One candy cane gingerbread latte with extra whip.
00:15:15Yum.
00:15:16Mmm.
00:15:18Mmm.
00:15:18I didn't think I'd get here today with these icy roads.
00:15:21Someone warned me about what we were in for,
00:15:22so for once, I was prepared.
00:15:25Hey, are you, uh, seeing someone?
00:15:27You know I'm not.
00:15:28Chloe, can I see that place?
00:15:42Great.
00:15:43Now my mom thinks I have a boyfriend I haven't told her about.
00:15:45Look, 50 people liked it.
00:15:47Well, loved it.
00:15:48Isn't that cool?
00:15:49Not cool.
00:15:51I don't know if I'm getting the wrong idea.
00:15:52Goodness, he hasn't seen it.
00:15:54He has.
00:15:55And he liked it.
00:15:57And we followed each other, and I tipped him.
00:16:01Why did you have to post this photo?
00:16:04Would you rather I post the one of you mid-sneeze?
00:16:08I'll put Rafe's contact info into your phone.
00:16:12Hand me the Benson file, please.
00:16:16Okay.
00:16:17So we have to prove that for Nelly remodeling was at fault
00:16:20for the wall coming down to the Benson residence.
00:16:22I need you to go over the contract with a fine-tooth comb.
00:16:24I got my comb, and I'm ready to fine-tooth it.
00:16:31You're welcome.
00:16:40Did you not go to lunch?
00:16:41I wanted to get through this.
00:16:42You drive me crazy,
00:16:46but you're the best paralegal assistant and friend.
00:16:50I know.
00:16:51I know.
00:16:51Oh, no.
00:17:09Oh, no.
00:17:09I know.
00:17:23What?
00:17:24Is that a pipe?
00:17:31Chloe, you have gone too far this time.
00:17:56Hello.
00:17:58Hi.
00:17:59Is this Rafe?
00:18:00Yes, it is.
00:18:02Hi, it's Zara from the Victorian dinner.
00:18:07Hey, Trina.
00:18:07Now, listen.
00:18:08Sorry to interrupt.
00:18:10No, no, it's fine.
00:18:11Good to hear from you.
00:18:13Well, you might want to wait to hear why I'm calling before you say that.
00:18:16What's going on?
00:18:18I came home to a soggy carpet.
00:18:21I can come by now if you'd like.
00:18:23Oh, no, you don't have to come over right now.
00:18:27Are you sure?
00:18:28Yes, yes.
00:18:29No, it's too late.
00:18:31I can handle it for now if you just maybe tell me what to do.
00:18:36Okay.
00:18:36Well, first, you're going to want to turn off the water main.
00:18:39Do you know where that is?
00:18:40In the furnace room.
00:18:40Then you're going to want to dry the carpet as much as possible.
00:18:44As soon as possible.
00:18:46Do you have a fan or some rags and towels?
00:18:48I have one fan and a few rags.
00:18:52Okay.
00:18:52Well, then you're going to want to soak up as much water as you can with the rags.
00:18:55And just keep drying it with the fan.
00:18:57Great.
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59Sounds good.
00:19:02I'll just text you my address then.
00:19:04Sure.
00:19:05I'll see you first thing in the morning.
00:19:07See you then.
00:19:08I'll see you then.
00:19:09I'll see you then.
00:19:38Good morning.
00:19:55Morning.
00:19:56Come in.
00:19:56Thanks.
00:19:58Thanks so much for coming.
00:19:59Yeah.
00:20:00Don't mention it.
00:20:01I'm glad I could help.
00:20:02Glad to see you.
00:20:08You know where the leak started?
00:20:11Uh, yeah, just, um, over here.
00:20:18Uh, yeah, your garage is beneath this.
00:20:21I'm assuming that a pipe had burst because of the cold snap.
00:20:26Great.
00:20:27Yeah.
00:20:27Do you think you can fix it?
00:20:28Well, I'll have to go down and take a look.
00:20:33Bless you.
00:20:34Thanks.
00:20:35Anyways, yes, I can fix it.
00:20:37Question.
00:20:39Do you have allergies?
00:20:40Tons.
00:20:40Yeah.
00:20:41You name it, I've got it.
00:20:42Even my allergies have allergies.
00:20:44Well, I might want to remove this carpeting.
00:20:48I can seamlessly match the original hardwood.
00:20:51How much would that cost?
00:20:52Uh, I could get you a wholesale discount on the materials.
00:20:56Maybe get a quote to you later tonight.
00:20:58Great.
00:21:00Could you start right now?
00:21:02Sure.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:03Fine.
00:21:03I'll just go ahead and replace the pipe and we'll get that water turn back on for you.
00:21:07Um, well, I have to get ready for work, but I'll leave you a spare key.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:15Are you a kleptomaniac?
00:21:17Oh, no.
00:21:18Um, Chloe accidentally brought that home with her, I think.
00:21:21I found it in my computer bag.
00:21:23You're sure it was her?
00:21:25I know that book's about Charles Dickens, but it has Chloe Johnson written all over it.
00:21:29Believe me.
00:21:31Oh.
00:21:32Haven't opened this one yet.
00:21:34Maybe Aubrey made sure that it ended up in your bag.
00:21:38Aubrey.
00:21:39As in the ghost.
00:21:41Yes.
00:21:41Now, I think there's a perfectly mortal explanation for this.
00:21:47However it ended up with me, I'm sorry.
00:21:49Um, please take it back.
00:21:51No.
00:21:51No, you know what?
00:21:52Um, you keep it.
00:21:54Really?
00:21:55I read somewhere something about a book being destined to find the right person at the exact time and needed it the most, so.
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:08Thanks.
00:22:09You know, a book lives through its characters and is alive long after its author is.
00:22:15Aren't you the philosopher?
00:22:16Nah, I just like to read.
00:22:19Maybe that book will give you a chance to escape the legal world.
00:22:22Maybe.
00:22:23Chloe, shall I show you the garage?
00:22:27Sure.
00:22:30Not funny, Chloe.
00:22:33Oh, Charles Dickens' love stories.
00:22:35Where'd you get that?
00:22:36You know where.
00:22:37Because you took it from Rafe's library and hid it in my computer bag.
00:22:41What?
00:22:42No, I didn't.
00:22:44Hmm.
00:22:44Smells like a pipe.
00:22:46Oops.
00:22:47Chloe, you were playing matchmaker all evening.
00:22:50You put the book in my bag along with this card.
00:22:52It wasn't me, Zara.
00:22:56Right.
00:22:57Forgot my mouth.
00:22:58I did.
00:22:59I swear, I didn't do anything this time, okay?
00:23:02I was actually looking for that card yesterday and it disappeared.
00:23:04Uh-oh.
00:23:08We forgot to tell the ghost to stay put.
00:23:11He followed us.
00:23:12Well, I mean you, and brought the book with him.
00:23:13You mean you forgot to tell the ghost to stay put?
00:23:16I can't believe we're having this conversation.
00:23:18Enough of the ghost already.
00:23:19I actually saw him.
00:23:23What happened?
00:23:24You're never late.
00:23:26A pipe burst.
00:23:28Rafe came over.
00:23:30Rafe, huh?
00:23:31Mm-hmm.
00:23:31I had to find someone to fix it.
00:23:33I was looking for his card, and then I remembered he gave it to you.
00:23:36Which is when I found it.
00:23:38In that book.
00:23:39In my bag.
00:23:41I think the ghost is the one playing the matchmaker.
00:23:43There is no ghost.
00:23:44Okay, well, if the book suddenly appeared, then maybe it's a magical book.
00:23:47A magical book.
00:23:48Right.
00:23:49Do you at least believe it wasn't me?
00:23:53Fine.
00:23:55But there has to be a logical explanation for how I found it.
00:23:58Yeah, I think the book was supposed to find you.
00:24:01You sound just like Rafe.
00:24:03I can't believe it now.
00:24:05Okay.
00:24:13Just a bunch of...
00:24:15I can't believe it...
00:24:18But it was not good.
00:24:18Oh, God.
00:24:20You're so sorry.
00:24:20Let me ask you.
00:24:22I've been
00:24:30what in the world i just need to get some rest that's what this is
00:24:43david copperfield and the perfect love triangle david's wife flighty and childish dora
00:24:53was incapable of anything but painting flowers agnes is the true heroine as david's best friend
00:25:00and moral compass she warns him against the bad angels in his life he loves her as a sister until
00:25:07the end after dora dies david realizes agnes is his true love
00:25:12no two people were more equally matched than david and agnes
00:25:30how's it going bored out of my skull if simon asked me to make one more note to this
00:25:53pre-arbitration doc i'll screen i meant reading the ghost book the ghost book uh yeah i i was

00:26:05who's infatuated with dora even though she's all wrong for him but he marries her anyway
00:26:09and then before she dies she convinces him to marry agnes his true love and best friend wasn't your

00:30:42Hello?
00:30:58I said to leave the dishes.
00:31:01Wow, it's no biggie.
00:31:03The least I could do since you made breakfast.
00:31:05I didn't make anything but the coffee.
00:31:08The Grand Parisian Bakery did the rest.
00:31:10But anyway, I appreciate it.
00:31:13I figured the last thing you needed was to come home to a bunch of dirty dishes to wash.
00:31:17Actually, I was going to cheat and put them in the dishwasher.
00:31:20Oh, well, how do you know that's not what I did?
00:31:24Well, thank you.
00:31:26And the floor looks beautiful.
00:31:30When should I expect your bill?
00:31:35I'll email it this week.
00:31:38Great.
00:31:39Sounds good.
00:31:42Uh, good night then.
00:31:44Right.
00:31:45Good night.
00:31:47I'll see you around.
00:31:49Thanks for your business.
00:31:55Those were his last words.
00:31:57Thank you for your business?
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00I was expecting something a little more...
00:32:03friendly.
00:32:04Okay, what did you say before that?
00:32:05See you around.
00:32:06That's more promising.
00:32:07Is it?
00:32:10See me around where?
00:32:12When?
00:32:14Shopping or, um, the gym.
00:32:17Ugh.
00:32:18I feel like we're back in high school and we're dissecting Brian's reply to my invitation to the Sadie Hawkins dance.
00:32:23What did he say again?
00:32:24He said no!
00:32:25Oh.
00:32:26Right.
00:32:27Why am I even wasting my time discussing this?
00:32:29We should be looking at the details of the Benson's money-warranty that was included in their contract.
00:32:33Yeah, right, because that's so much more fascinating.
00:32:36Um, I can't work late on Friday.
00:32:40You know, you remember the weekend when people forget about work?
00:32:45I'll try.
00:32:55This isn't happening.
00:33:00I'm losing my mind.
00:33:01I'm losing my mind.
00:33:04Great expectations.
00:33:06Okay, I read this one.
00:33:08Ages ago.
00:33:08And my mind is just conjuring up memories.
00:33:11From that.
00:33:13That's what's going on.
00:33:16That has to be it.
00:33:19One of the themes is deceptive first impressions.
00:33:23Pip comes from better parents than Estella.
00:33:25But when they meet, she thinks she's above him and makes fun of his clothes.
00:33:29Her name does mean star.
00:33:30However, it comes to light that her parents were criminals.
00:33:33There's always more to someone than we think.
00:33:36There are actually two endings to Great Expectations.
00:33:39Wait, what?
00:33:41In Dickens' original ending, Pip and Estella meet after many years,
00:33:45and he sees her for the heartless woman she is.
00:33:48And they part ways.
00:33:49However, one of his fellow writers convinced him his readers wanted a happy ending.
00:33:53So, Pip returns to where they met, and a changed Estella appears.
00:33:57We are led to believe that they reunite forever.
00:34:05Of course, it's a happy ending.
00:34:07This room needs something.
00:34:22Hello?
00:34:24Hello?
00:34:24How in the world did you get here?
00:34:54How in the world did you get here?
00:35:22It wouldn't be so dusty, I could store it in the house.
00:35:34Oh.
00:35:44Coming, Mom!
00:35:50Here it is.
00:35:52Oh.
00:35:54Sorry I didn't call you back last week.
00:35:57I've just been swamped at work.
00:36:00You shouldn't be.
00:36:01This is the holiday season.
00:36:03It's a time to relax and have fun.
00:36:06Tell that to my boss.
00:36:08Good point.
00:36:09Could you pass the flower?
00:36:14I'm dying of curiosity.
00:36:16Who was that charming man on Chloe's post?
00:36:20Well, he's not my boyfriend.
00:36:23He was just one of the hosts at the Dickens dinner that Chloe dragged me to.
00:36:28Yeah.
00:36:29That looked like a lot of fun.
00:36:31It was, actually.
00:36:33Since you broke up with Mike, I've been worrying that you might end up a poor old mate like Miss Havisham.
00:36:41Miss Havisham?
00:36:43From great expectations.
00:36:45I know who she is.
00:36:47I was just reading a book about it.
00:36:49That is so funny.
00:36:52Hilarious, Mom.
00:36:53No.
00:36:54I went into our old bookstore and there was a new edition that had come in, so I bought it and I've been reading it too.
00:37:02Here comes more snow.
00:37:08I know the holidays are difficult for all of us, honey.
00:37:14But it will be good to spend them together.
00:37:23Yeah.
00:37:25It will.
00:37:31Oh, dear.
00:37:35Beats me.
00:37:36I wish your dad was here to help, but, you know, he's not very handy, so...
00:37:42Call an electrician?
00:37:44Mmm.
00:37:45I'll ice the cookies at home.
00:37:47Bye, darling.
00:37:48Good luck.
00:37:49Thanks.
00:37:50This is Rafe.
00:37:51Please leave me a number and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
00:37:53Hi.
00:37:54I bet you weren't expecting to hear from me again so soon.
00:37:58I have another problem that, uh, I need help with.
00:37:59Actually, two.
00:38:00Two.
00:38:01So, um...
00:38:02Call me back.
00:38:03It's Zara, by the way.
00:38:04Hey, I think I found it.
00:38:05Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:06Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:07It's Zara, by the way.
00:38:08Hey, I think I found it.
00:38:09Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:10It's Zara, by the way.
00:38:11Hey, I think I found it.
00:38:12Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:14What do you think caused the fuse to blow in the first place?
00:38:15Usually, it's from excess current.
00:38:16Yeah, I think I found it.
00:38:17Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:18What do you think caused the fuse to blow in the first place?
00:38:29Usually, it's from excess current.
00:38:33Camera's back in the kitchen.
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:39What do you think caused the fuse to blow in the first place?
00:38:43Usually it's from excess current.
00:38:45I just turned on a mixer.
00:38:50You know, I haven't felt Aubrey's presence since the other day at dinner.
00:38:55You and Chloe and that ghost.
00:38:59Are you trying to move all this by yourself?
00:39:03I try to, yes.
00:39:06You know, Nate and I could maybe come by on Saturday and help you move it all.
00:39:10Extra pair of hands.
00:39:11Would you?
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13I could bring this up for you, too.
00:39:15That old thing?
00:39:16That was here when I bought the house.
00:39:17Yeah, it would look perfect in your living room.
00:39:19I could refurbish it for you.
00:39:22Okay.
00:39:22Knock yourself out.
00:39:23Okay.
00:39:25Ah, sorry.
00:39:26I got to get going.
00:39:27I'm coaching Nate's hockey team.
00:39:29Hockey?
00:39:30Cool.
00:39:31Well, it's not big time.
00:39:34Maybe you want to come and watch a practice?
00:39:36We could head over there Saturday after I'm done here.
00:39:39Oh, no.
00:39:40No, thank you.
00:39:41I have plans on Saturday night.
00:39:44Okay.
00:39:46Sure.
00:39:46Sure.
00:39:46I'm sorry.
00:39:49I'm sorry.
00:40:05I'm sorry.
00:40:05I give up.
00:40:15This is beyond bizarre.
00:40:18There's nothing I can do about it.
00:40:19The Pickwick Papers' perfect Christmas.
00:40:29Try saying that ten times in a row.
00:40:31Christmas was close at hand.
00:40:35In all his bluff and hearty honesty, it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness.
00:40:41Portisopens slay.
00:40:43Over the fields we go.
00:40:47Laughing all the way.
00:40:49Ha, ha, ha.
00:40:50There's a mock-fail tree.
00:40:53Making spirits bright.
00:40:55Unpunny.
00:40:57It's a giant thing.
00:40:59It's a sleigh.
00:40:59It's a sleigh.
00:41:00It's a sleigh.
00:41:01This week flew by.
00:41:17Hey, Simon.
00:41:18Would you like some coffee?
00:41:19Uh, no, thanks.
00:41:21I was just telling Zara here about my friend.
00:41:24She's being threatened with eviction because her landlord changed the rules, and now she
00:41:27can only have one cat instead of two.
00:41:30Easy solution.
00:41:31She needs to get rid of one of the cats.
00:41:33How could you ask someone to make such a heartless decision?
00:41:36She needs legal advice.
00:41:38Well, I don't think you have time for that.
00:41:41Benson arbitration hearing is a few weeks away.
00:41:53When was the last time you decorated for Christmas?
00:42:00Well, based on how much dust is on these, a very, very long time.
00:42:06This is so cool.
00:42:08Yeah, we, I, I was really into trains when I was a kid.
00:42:12My mom loved trains, too.
00:42:14Really?
00:42:14It's nice you had that in common.
00:42:16Oh, look at all this.
00:42:19I am so sorry.
00:42:21It's okay.
00:42:22I'm sure I can find someone who might be able to fix it.
00:42:26Not exactly my area of expertise, but give it a try.
00:42:32And here's the locomotive, so we should be in business.
00:42:39So cool.
00:42:42All right, pal, we're going to get going in two minutes, okay?
00:42:45Um, hey, do you need any help moving this?
00:42:48Oh, uh, no, thanks.
00:42:50I'm good.
00:42:50Zara, did you want to come watch our practice?
00:42:53Uh, I don't think so.
00:42:55Uh, she probably has plans.
00:42:56It's Saturdays.
00:42:58No, I just...
00:42:59We're in this huge Christmas tournament.
00:43:00I think she already said no.
00:43:02Um, excuse me.
00:43:04Hello?
00:43:07Oh, okay, it, it's not working at all.
00:43:11I, I, I know it's freezing.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:12Okay, uh, yes, okay, I'll, I'll, I'll be there right away.
00:43:21Um, hey, um, I hate to ask this.
00:43:25Um, my client has a broken furnace and no other heating source.
00:43:29Would you mind taking me to his hockey practice?
00:43:32I can't miss practice.
00:43:33I, uh, all you need to do is just drop them off and pick them up.
00:43:38All right.
00:43:39Yeah, thank you.
00:43:40Um, I'll send you the address.
00:43:43You sure?
00:43:43You don't mind?
00:43:44Yeah, no.
00:43:46Why isn't this thing lurking?
00:43:52Oh, my God.
00:44:22Hey, you looked good out there.
00:44:42Thanks.
00:44:43Hope you can keep coming.
00:44:45I know, but work's got me pretty busy.
00:44:47I know, but, uh, here, just in case.
00:44:52Hey, buddy, come on.
00:45:07Time to get up.
00:45:09I thought only figure skaters had to get up this early.
00:45:12Well, they got our time slot today, so, come on, please.
00:45:15Um, now.
00:45:24Hey, is your mom coming to the game tonight?
00:45:26Uh, I hope so.
00:45:28She might be working.
00:45:29She used to come to all their games.
00:45:30I know, but, um, she's taking on extra shifts since, uh, she and my dad separated.
00:45:36She's getting ready for fashion week.
00:46:04Hmm?
00:46:08Dad?
00:46:09Yeah?
00:46:09Do you like Zara?
00:46:12Of course I like her.
00:46:14No, but do you like, like her?
00:46:17She's very nice, but like I said, she's not my girlfriend.
00:46:24Well, she could be, but you'd have to ask her out on a date first.
00:46:27Hmm.
00:46:29You know, I don't even know if I know how to do that anymore.
00:46:33I haven't asked anyone out since your mom.
00:46:34I think mom would like her.
00:46:39She likes trains.
00:46:41And hockey.
00:46:43I don't know about the hockey, but I think that's why you like her.
00:46:49There he is.
00:46:51It's about time.
00:46:53Come on, get in.
00:47:00That looks nice.
00:47:01Glad we got it out of the garage.
00:47:03Oh.
00:47:11Beauty is in the details.
00:47:13May I?
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:29For everything.
00:47:29Look, um, I don't know why, but it seems like there's a broken furnace epidemic in this town, and, well, Austin's mom is not free, and I know you're busy.
00:47:46Okay.
00:47:47Just one more time.
00:47:49Great.
00:47:50Um, look, I want to thank you for helping us with everything.
00:47:53Maybe pasta at our house.
00:47:57That sounds nice.
00:48:12Hey, Zara.
00:48:13I'll text you when we're done.
00:48:38Yeah.
00:48:40Are you okay?
00:49:05Yeah, I'm just not in a good headspace today.
00:49:08It's okay to be nervous.
00:49:11Maybe you just need to get out of your head a little bit.
00:49:15Why don't you take some deep breaths with me?
00:49:17In through the nose.
00:49:19One, two, three, and out.
00:49:21One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:49:25And again.
00:49:26One, two, three, out.
00:49:29One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:49:33One more time.
00:49:38Any better?
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:42You can do this.
00:49:44Ready to go back out there?
00:49:45Yeah, thanks.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:59There's magic in this world.
00:50:06Somehow makes it easier.
00:50:09Hold on to me.
00:50:13I don't need to think of us.
00:50:16Cheers.
00:50:17ShantƩ.
00:50:18I imagine Nate and Austin and their friends won't get much sleep tonight.
00:50:26Yeah, it's all-night video games.
00:50:36Didn't you just put that on?
00:50:41Yeah.
00:50:47Huh.
00:50:48I really appreciate your culinary skills.
00:50:53No, thank you.
00:50:55Mind passing me that jar of pasta sauce that I made from scratch?
00:51:13That's Nate's mom.
00:51:15Well, maybe that's why Aubrey showed up after we inherited the house.
00:51:20We're both widowers.
00:51:21Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:51:25I didn't know.
00:51:28She was born around Christmas.
00:51:30Said that Nate was the best gift she ever got.
00:51:34How about you?
00:51:35You ever been married?
00:51:37No.
00:51:39I was in a serious relationship, though.
00:51:41Or, I thought I was.
00:51:43But when Mike got this great offer to be a DA in another state, I didn't want to move.
00:51:50I wasn't ready to be away from my parents after everything that happened, and work was always more important to me.
00:51:57And how about all?
00:52:00Well, now my career's still important, but I'm not sure it's enough.
00:52:05I'm so sorry.
00:52:15It's okay.
00:52:16It's okay.
00:52:16That's Austin's mom, like, she'd grab it.
00:52:33Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:52:34Is he okay?
00:52:43I'll be right there.
00:52:45Okay, bye.
00:52:48Is everything okay?
00:52:50Yeah.
00:52:51It's Nate.
00:52:52He's just feeling nauseous.
00:52:54Probably too much pizza and ice cream.
00:52:56You know, these sleepovers, they don't exactly eat that healthy.
00:53:00Where's the fun in that?
00:53:02Right.
00:53:02Were your favorite foods, celery and carrot sticks, before you were younger?
00:53:06Yeah.
00:53:07Listen, uh, sorry that dinner got cut short.
00:53:11I'll make it up to you.
00:53:13Promise.
00:53:14It's okay.
00:53:16I'll help you with the dishes so you can get going.
00:53:18Okay.
00:53:19Down being sun and eternal hope.
00:53:49Never heard of this one.
00:53:52Dombie and son.
00:53:53Or should it be Dombie and daughter?
00:53:56For once in a Dickens novel, a woman is the lead role, with Florence Dombie as the main character.
00:54:02Out of spite, Florence's father sends Walter to work at his firm in faraway Barbados.
00:54:08Florence receives news that Walter's ship is lost at sea, and he is feared drowned.
00:54:13However, Walter returns, and he and Florence embrace, reunited to live happily ever after.
00:54:22In conclusion, I will reiterate that for Nelly remodeling and removing the wall in the house of my clients, Mr. and Mrs. Benson,
00:54:40are at fault for negligence, and owe my clients damages.
00:54:55I hope you're ready.
00:55:01I'm prepared.
00:55:02I hope so.
00:55:05Remember how important this is to them.
00:55:08Us.
00:55:09Oh, this case and Christmas, counting down the days until they're both over.
00:55:24Look, I know you've learned to play it safe.
00:55:28But you've been making progress, dating again.
00:55:31Maybe it's time you got over something else, too.
00:55:35What do you mean?
00:55:38Snowmobiling.
00:55:39I would go with you.
00:55:41No.
00:55:43I'd keep seeing Glenn's face, and reliving that day.
00:55:50Why couldn't you wait until my exam is over?
00:55:53Why do you have to go alone?
00:55:55Look, you can't change the past.
00:55:57But our loved ones are always with us.
00:55:59That's what I think about with my grandma.
00:56:04You know, sometimes it helps when you talk about it.
00:56:13Here.
00:56:16That's way too much frosting.
00:56:18What?
00:56:19The icing is, like, the best part.
00:56:21I'll check the kitchen for some muffins or something.
00:56:24Ew, no.
00:56:25Muffins are like when someone's baking cupcakes and they run out of icing.
00:56:28Anyway, I saw Alice the other day.
00:56:35You know, the guide from the Dickens dinner?
00:56:38She saw you walking up to Rafe's house.
00:56:40She was surprised.
00:56:42She didn't know you two hit it off so well.
00:56:44She was surprised?
00:56:45I don't know.
00:56:46I guess he didn't mention seeing you again to her.
00:56:48I guess he's a private person.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:53Zara.
00:56:54She was glad that you guys were getting along.
00:56:56And she thought it was nice that they finally had a woman in their lives again.
00:56:59All right, boys, let's go find it, all right?
00:57:06Let's go.
00:57:07Go.
00:57:14I didn't expect to see you.
00:57:16I thought I'd check in and see how the team's doing.
00:57:21You know what was great about the 19th century?
00:57:23People couldn't hound you 24-7 because cell phones didn't exist.
00:57:27Right.
00:57:28Have you been reading the book?
00:57:30I have.
00:57:32And learning a lot about that time period.
00:57:34It wasn't all bad.
00:57:35No.
00:57:36No, it wasn't.
00:57:37You like your job?
00:57:38I do.
00:57:40Usually.
00:57:41It's just this case that's stressing me out.
00:57:44What's it about?
00:57:46Right.
00:57:47I'm sorry.
00:57:48Shouldn't have asked.
00:57:49Client confidentiality?
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:52Thanks for coming to his last practice.
00:57:59And thanks for the after-practice snack.
00:58:01You're welcome.
00:58:02You guys looked really good out there.
00:58:03Good enough to win the tournament?
00:58:04Why, you gotta believe in yourself.
00:58:06Listen to your dad.
00:58:08Well, I better go.
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:11Yeah.
00:58:12Did you just throw that?
00:58:28Stop.
00:58:29Feel free to retaliate him.
00:58:31He deserves it.
00:58:31How about you guys against me?
00:58:32Hey.
00:58:33Hey.
00:58:35Hey.
00:58:36It's not good.
00:58:37Hey.
00:58:38Sir.
00:58:40Sir.
00:58:40You okay?
00:58:41Hey.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:43Yeah, I'm fine.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:46I just, um...
00:58:47My brother, Flynn, used to do that.
00:58:50And when I turned around at first, it was like...
00:58:53It was him, standing there instead of Nate.
00:58:57It's okay.
00:58:57It's okay.
00:58:58You have a brother.
00:59:03He died.
00:59:05Um, in a snowmobile accident.
00:59:08A few days before he was supposed to leave for Sweden.
00:59:11He was drafted to play hockey there.
00:59:15Oh, God.
00:59:16I'm...
00:59:16I'm...
00:59:17We're so sorry.
00:59:18No wonder you didn't want to go to the rink.
00:59:22At first, I didn't.
00:59:25There's a blessing I wanted to do.
00:59:28I haven't been to a game since he...
00:59:33But watching him play...
00:59:37Has actually really helped me.
00:59:38You both really helped me.
00:59:43I'm sorry.
00:59:44I'm sorry.
01:00:08Hi, honey.
01:00:13Hey, Mom.
01:00:16Um...
01:00:16I was just wondering, um...
01:00:19What time you and Dad were coming over on Christmas?
01:00:21Oh, I...
01:00:22I thought I'd already told you.
01:00:25You probably already did.
01:00:27Um...
01:00:30I think I just wanted to hear your voice.
01:00:33Is everything okay?
01:00:34Yeah.
01:00:38It is now.
01:00:40Anything you want to tell me?
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:47Actually, um...
01:00:50Remember that guy on...
01:00:52Chloe's post?
01:00:54Uh...
01:00:54Well, we did end up going out, and...
01:01:00He's a really great guy.
01:01:03Aw.
01:01:06And I'm finally...
01:01:08Trying to put the past behind me.
01:01:13All of the past.
01:01:14I'm glad to hear that, honey.
01:01:17And I can't wait to see you.
01:01:20I can't wait to see you.
01:01:23Just one more case, and I get to relax.
01:01:28Um...
01:01:29I'll...
01:01:29I'll talk to you later.
01:01:31I love you.
01:01:32I love you, too.
01:01:34Bye, darling.

01:01:42Bye.
01:01:43Bye.
01:01:43Bye.
01:01:44I can't wait for this to be over.
01:02:00I thought you liked proving people wrong.
01:02:03I do.
01:02:04In the case of Benson versus Fresnelli,
01:02:07prosecution, are you ready for your opening statement?
01:02:10Yes, Madam Arbitrator.
01:02:11We're here to prove the guilt of Fresnelli remodeling for negligent construction in the Victorian home of my clients, Tom and Nancy Benson.
01:02:20Removing a wall caused the upper floor to cave in.
01:02:22My clients are requesting damages proportionate to the cost of repairs and in accordance to their warranty.
01:02:30Fresnelli remodeling.
01:02:33My client agreed.
01:02:35And that's confirmed to me on the opinions and for Millennium foratics.
01:02:39I'll be here to work with Paul.
01:02:40IivalentKY.
01:02:40Thanks.
01:02:40Bye.

01:03:03the wall in the benson's home in the first place and the clause in the warranty entitling him to
01:03:07do so you may proceed thank you please state your name for the record uh objection the defense
01:03:24hasn't disclosed a change in witness overruled please state your name i'm rave morrissey your

01:04:14several years experience preserving them i do yes oh what can you tell us about victorian houses
01:04:22well uh the first rule is do no harm like the hippocratic oath objection the witness is not a
01:04:28medical expert overruled the witness may answer the question it's um it's kind of like that see people
01:04:36who purchase victorian homes that they often want to make all kinds of changes but really they should
01:04:41just be preserving the historical details they want to take smaller rooms and make them bigger
01:04:46rooms by taking out walls and it's a huge mistake dangerous even why is that because the walls are
01:04:54load-bearing and they're absolutely necessary you remove one and on the floor above it's going to
01:05:00start to say or in this case cave in thank you why is my mind a complete blank i got this does the

01:09:06Nate sent me a cryptic text
01:09:09that didn't really make much sense.
01:09:11What happened?
01:09:14Um, I don't know.
01:09:16Um, um,
01:09:17they're keeping me here overnight
01:09:20just to make sure that I don't have a concussion.
01:09:23But I'm fine.
01:09:24Except for that.
01:09:25Yeah, yeah.
01:09:26The doctor said that I don't need surgery.
01:09:28It's just a minor fracture.
01:09:30That's good.
01:09:32You should really be more careful.
01:09:35I wish.
01:09:36Yeah, that door opening
01:09:38was like a freak accident.
01:09:41I don't know if I believe in that.
01:09:43Or coincidences anymore.
01:09:48Where's Nate?
01:09:51He said Austin's stay in the night.
01:09:53Good.
01:09:55Um,
01:09:57look, I,
01:09:58I just wanted to apologize
01:10:00for the way that I acted
01:10:01at the arbitration.

01:10:03it's okay.
01:10:04Yeah.

01:10:11Hmm, well,
01:10:13about that,
01:10:14um,
01:10:15I quit.
01:10:19Winning the case wasn't worth it
01:10:20if it meant losing you.
01:10:23And besides,
01:10:24now I get to spend more time
01:10:25with my family over the holidays,
01:10:26which
01:10:27I haven't in years
01:10:28because
01:10:28I've always been trying to get ahead.
01:10:34Maybe spend more time
01:10:35with Nate and me.
01:10:36I'd love that.
01:10:40Yeah.
01:10:44One last chapter.
01:10:46Little Dorit.
01:10:48I haven't read that one.
01:10:50Yeah, they're right.
01:10:51I just watched the show.
01:10:53Look, um,
01:10:54I'm not

01:10:56sitting in a room
01:10:57doing nothing,
01:10:58but
01:10:58maybe we could read it together.
01:11:03Okay.
01:11:03Yeah.
01:11:05But there's
01:11:06something I didn't tell you
01:11:08about this book.
01:11:12What's that?
01:11:14Wait.
01:11:16Is it?
01:11:17Us,
01:11:17as the main characters?
01:11:19Yes.
01:11:20You not only have
01:11:21a ghost in your house,
01:11:22but
01:11:22a magical book.
01:11:25Guess I can't wait to read it.
01:11:28Well,
01:11:28maybe I'll lend it to you one day.
01:11:30What?
01:11:31Well,
01:11:32it was my book.
01:11:33Yeah,
01:11:33but you said that
01:11:34Aubrey meant for me
01:11:35to keep it.
01:11:36Remember?
01:11:37Okay.
01:11:38I'm a man of my word.
01:11:41This story is about
01:11:42this poor girl, Amy,
01:11:44whose father's
01:11:44in debtor's prison,
01:11:45and she gets a job
01:11:46as a maid
01:11:47for this mean old lady,
01:11:48and she meets her son,
01:11:49Arthur.
01:11:50And Arthur tries to pay off
01:11:51her family's debts,
01:11:52but then
01:11:53her father finds out
01:11:54that he's an heir to a fortune,
01:11:55and he ends up in prison.
01:11:57And
01:11:58are Amy and Arthur in love?
01:12:00Of course.
01:12:01But
01:12:02that's always.
01:12:03They don't figure it out
01:12:04until the end.
01:12:05Of course.
01:12:09There's a recurrent theme
01:12:11of self-sacrifice
01:12:12with Arthur wanting to help
01:12:13Amy's father's debts,
01:12:14and by Amy
01:12:15giving up her inheritance
01:12:16in order to be with Arthur,
01:12:17he's lost his fortune
01:12:19and finds himself
01:12:20in debtor's prison.
01:12:21I have thought about you
01:12:22every day,
01:12:23every hour,
01:12:25every minute
01:12:26that I've been in here.
01:12:28Did I say that right?
01:12:29Yeah.
01:12:30Yeah.
01:12:30That was perfect.
01:12:31Good.
01:12:32You should get into acting.
01:12:34Yeah, sure.
01:12:37Never depart,
01:12:38my dearest Arthur.
01:12:41Never anymore
01:12:42until the last.
01:12:42I was never rich before.
01:12:45I was never proud before.
01:12:47I never was happy before.
01:12:50I am rich
01:12:51and being taken by you.
01:12:52What is so funny?
01:12:55She's declaring
01:12:56her love for him.
01:12:57I know, I know.
01:12:58I'm just, uh,
01:13:00I like Zini like this.
01:13:04Stop interrupting.
01:13:05Okay.
01:13:07I love you dearly.
01:13:09I would rather
01:13:10pass my life here with you
01:13:11and go out
01:13:12working for our bread
01:13:13than have the greatest fortune
01:13:15that was ever told.
01:13:32Well, I better go.
01:13:34Um,
01:13:36but you,
01:13:37take care.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:40Nice.
01:13:52Not today.
01:14:01Hey.
01:14:02What are you doing?
01:14:04Huge favor to ask.
01:14:10Hey, you made it.
01:14:11I wouldn't miss
01:14:11your tournament
01:14:12for the world.
01:14:13You remember Chloe?
01:14:14Yeah, of course.
01:14:15Hi.
01:14:15Hi.
01:14:16Okay, boys,
01:14:16listen up.
01:14:17Okay, we're still in this.
01:14:18Our offense is on point
01:14:19and the defense is rock solid.
01:14:21So how about we get out there
01:14:22and win this, all right?
01:14:22What?
01:14:23I forgot the most important thing.
01:14:25What's that?
01:14:27Have fun.
01:14:27I saw someone selling hot chocolate over there.
01:14:37You'd like one?
01:14:38You can't leave now.
01:14:39We've already missed the first period.
01:14:40What?
01:14:41How many periods are there?
01:14:42Three.
01:14:43Unless there's a tie
01:14:44and then there's an extra period.
01:14:45Okay, and if they're still tied after that?
01:14:47Then it's a shootout.
01:14:48A goalie's worst nightmare.
01:14:49I'll be right back.
01:14:53And I thought football was complicated.
01:14:56Ooh.
01:15:16Oh, my God!
01:15:19Yes.
01:15:32Hello?
01:15:34Penalty?
01:15:35I know.
01:15:35He must not have seen it.
01:15:37Can't have eyes everywhere, I guess.
01:15:38Yes.
01:15:52Yes.
01:15:53Finally, powerfully for us.
01:15:56Awesome.
01:15:56Nate could be pros someday.
01:15:57It's so better than us.
01:16:22Hey, we just scored and now we're tied.
01:16:24Okay, the game isn't over yet.
01:16:26Yeah, don't remind me.
01:16:27Stay out of your head.
01:16:28Trust yourself.
01:16:29You got this.
01:16:30You're doing good.
01:16:31You guys all up.
01:16:32You're so close.
01:16:39Yeah, I told them to pull out all the stops, but looks like we might need an extra period.
01:16:43Or maybe they have what it takes to do it in three.
01:16:46Hey, there's your pep talk, coach.
01:16:49Thanks.
01:16:51Hey, listen.
01:16:52Do you like to have dinner again?
01:16:55Maybe make up for last time?
01:16:56Yeah, that'd be nice.
01:17:06Okay, who are we playing again?
01:17:09The Bellevue Foxes.
01:17:12Foxes and Wolves.
01:17:14You gotta admit, their logos are kind of similar.
01:17:17Just focus on the colors.
01:17:18We're blue.
01:17:19Okay, got it.
01:17:20Now if only the puck was a fluorescent pink, then I could see it.
01:17:23Thanks for coming.
01:17:28I know this isn't how you expected to spend your Saturday.
01:17:31It's no worries.
01:17:32It's so much fun with you.
01:17:37That was offside.
01:17:38Yeah, that was offside.
01:17:39Yeah, I know, but...
01:17:40That ref needs glasses.
01:17:42Totally.
01:17:45Okay, guys, this is it, all right?
01:17:47You stick with them, protect your goalie, and make a break for it when you can.
01:17:50All right?
01:17:50Support each other out there, okay?
01:17:52Now let's go.
01:17:53Let's go.
01:17:53Let's go, boys.
01:17:54Come on.
01:18:05Can they switch sides?
01:18:07They switch every period.
01:18:17No, no, no.
01:18:18Hopefully we can kill this penalty.
01:18:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
