00:00It doesn't feel fair to get your heart broken at Christmas.
00:13Especially when you never saw it coming.
00:21I usually love this time of year.
00:24I mean, don't we all?
00:27Hearts are a little more open.
00:30Everything's a little more hopeful.
00:34I still remember when my dad moved us here after the divorce.
00:38He was so excited to show me London at Christmas.
00:41The city's just so magical.
00:43And back then, we both needed some magic.
00:49And maybe it was the lights, or the fact it was Christmas,
00:53or maybe it was just time.
00:55But it changed everything.
01:04My mom may have been traveling the world with her boyfriend of the month,
01:07but I had my dad.
01:10I made friends.
01:11And I created a whole life for myself.
01:13I make these from my mom.
01:15Everything was fine.
01:19Life goes on.
01:20But earlier this year, my dad retired, then broke his hip in a motorcycle accident.
01:27Now he's different.
01:29Withdrawn.
01:30And I'm the only one here to notice it.
01:35Of course, I'm going to take care of him the way that he takes care of me.
01:40And it made it hard for me to keep up with work, which has never happened to me before.
01:44And then, if that wasn't enough, here come my best friends telling me,
01:49oh, we think you're missing out on life because you haven't been on a date in a while?
01:54Which I thought was insane.
01:56But you know, then doubt crept in, and I thought, do I have no life?
01:59Do I have too many walls up?
02:01Do I just not trust love?
02:03So I did this thing, and it totally turned my life upside down.
02:09I actually found someone.
02:15At least I thought I did.
02:19And here I am, on a train, at Christmas, the most romantic, magical time of the year.
02:27And I'm by myself.
02:30And all I can think about is that I had the chance to be with somebody really great.
02:39And I made the wrong choice.
02:43My dear, when I asked where you were headed, I meant which stop?
02:48Oh.
02:50Lexford.
02:51Well, you've arrived.
02:54Merry Christmas.
02:55Tis the season.
04:01That's quite brilliant, isn't it?
04:02Yeah, it's great, except for the fact that you're supposed to be moving.
04:05Otherwise, your scar tissue is going to get all stiff and immobile.
04:08I believe that the term that the doctor used was exactly move it or lose it.
04:12And you're supposed to be working on your core.
04:14Everything comes from the core.
04:15Work on your own bloody core.
04:17Look, why don't you take a train into the city today,
04:20and you can take one of the old routes and see the guys,
04:22and then I'll meet you for coffee.
04:23Maybe tomorrow.
04:25You're right.
04:25I'll come by later, then.
04:26With curries?
04:27With curries.
04:29Oh, best daughter.
04:30Best dad.
04:32You know, I can feed myself if you have other plans.
04:34Yeah, that just means you'll have Guinness for dinner.
04:36Sounds heavenly.
04:49Another day, another nothing.
04:53Doesn't Lady Snoozeworth have enough plaid waistcoats?
04:55Good thing.
04:57Nicola wants me to come up with something different for her clients.
04:59Something fresh, but classic.
05:02I like this martial latte with extra salt and caramel.
05:05What are you, the king of caffeine?
05:06I prefer Your Majesty, but since you're an American, I'm going to let it slide.
05:09I need a triple espresso with an extra shot,
05:11and can you pour it directly into my veins?
05:14Tough night.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Getting two children bathed into bed,
05:17I wrote closing remarks to my next case
05:19and fell asleep with cabbage leaves in my bra.
05:21Sounds like a wild night.
05:22Yeah, the internet said it would cure my mastitis.
05:28Wake him and die.
05:31Oh, Kate.
05:31I found a Christmas present.
05:34Christmas is like three weeks away.
05:35Yeah, this can't wait.
05:37The 12 days of Christmas.
05:39Ta-da!
05:39This holiday season, let us bring the merry
05:42with festive matchmaking that will really jingle your bells.
05:46Yeah, it's a Christmas-themed dating service.
05:48Brilliant.
05:49I wish I'd thought of it.
05:50I'm going to sign you up.
05:51There's no way I would ever do that.
05:52Oh, what?
05:53No.
05:54No.
05:54Oh, this is going to be good.
05:56Why not?
05:57Just watch the ad.
05:59It's really cute.
06:00There's a little cupid, and it's dressed up like Father Christmas.
06:03Ew.
06:03Do you hear yourself?
06:05This is clearly meant to exploit the fears of people who don't want to be alone at Christmas.
06:10I mean, beware, single people.
06:11Cuffing season is upon us.
06:12Shh.
06:14I think it sounds fun.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Well, then you do it.
06:17Oh, okay.
06:17Yeah, sure.
06:18No, I will.
06:18Except I've got that peach of a husband.
06:20Yeah.
06:20Well, you met when you were, like, 15, so, of course, you think dating sounds fun.
06:24Okay, fine.
06:25But I'm not wrong.
06:26You need some fun.
06:28You never go out anymore.
06:29I'm out more than she is, and I've got a five-month-old.
06:32And you don't see me judging your choices.
06:34I'm not judging.
06:35I'm just trying to help.
06:36Okay?
06:37And your stress has been on the rise.
06:40I can sense it.
06:41And you've been a saint helping your dad.
06:43And you are the catch of the century.
06:46We talk about it behind your back.
06:47I mean, she does most of the talking, but as annoying as it is, we care.
06:53Okay.
06:54You guys, really?
06:55I'm fine.
06:56Okay, sure.
06:57She's fine.
06:58But what about joy?
06:59Huh?
07:00What about adventure and connection?
07:04Okay?
07:04This dating thing could be weird, but it might also be fun.
07:10And you might let some new things into your life.
07:12And so I'm signing you up, because you need this.
07:17I need this for you.
07:20Let it go.
07:23Twelve men, Kate.
07:25Twelve.
07:25Twelve.
07:26Twelve men.
07:27Twelve men.
07:30Get a life.
07:34This isn't over.
07:35Mind the gap.
07:38Good service.
07:49Why haven't I seen this one before?
08:11Have you?
08:12Last spring. I didn't love it. But now...
08:15Yeah, still don't love it.
08:17Well, uh, what if we did it from this angle, then we could sort of, like, uh, have them going appalling.
08:25What else?
08:26Uh, I have...
08:30Sorry, yeah, it's just, I've been having kind of a tough time since my dad's accident, but I'm coming back.
08:36Kate.
08:37This is one of the only female-owned design houses on Savile Row. There is no trying. You must do.
08:45Could you just quote Yoda at me?
08:46Who?
08:47Forget it.
08:492021. Kate Middleton selected the Nicola by Nicola trouser to wear to the pricking of the bodkin.
08:55My design and tailoring were the main draw, of course, but with your pattern, it was the perfect mix. And we made history.
09:03Remember?
09:04The single most important moment of my professional career?
09:07Yes, I remember.
09:08Did you know I was going through a divorce from husband number three at the time? And a nasty custody battle over our racehorse.
09:15No, I didn't know that.
09:17Exactly. So get it together, darling.
09:20Art shouldn't have an off switch.
09:21What's this now?
09:34This is your intervention.
09:37Sit down and we'll begin.
09:38Ed too, Rute.
09:44I'm sorry. She's scary.
09:49Exhibit A.
09:51Your joggers.
09:52Oof.
09:52If they could talk, what would they say?
09:56Help!
09:57No, I think they would probably object to this line of questioning. I'm sorry, is there a new law against being comfortable?
10:06Exhibit B.
10:07Your Insta.
10:10Nary a new post or story in over a year.
10:14Well, yeah, because I've been out in the real world living my life.
10:18Give me your phone.
10:19No, no, no.
10:21Why would I do that?
10:22Because on it would be Exhibit C.
10:26Her calendar.
10:28Empty.
10:29Okay.
10:29You know what?
10:30I'm going to chalk this all up to sleep deprivation on your part.
10:33No, this is your best friend talking, who loves you very dearly and is desperate to give you a wake-up call.
10:39The 12 dates of Christmas.
10:4512 opportunities to get out of your normal life to do something different.
10:50To let loose and let good times roll.
10:54Or 12 possible horror stories you can entertain us with.
10:56I mean, that alone is a great reason to do it.
10:58See, this is my point.
11:00It's a joke.
11:01No, the point is that you won't even consider it.
11:04You haven't been on a date in years.
11:06It hasn't been that long.
11:07It has most definitely been that long.
11:09Even if it had been that long, which it hasn't.
11:11I'll date when I'm ready.
11:13Okay?
11:13When it's on my terms.
11:15I've watched you resist anything stronger than a handshake.
11:19Bunch of first dates but no follow-up.
11:21You avoid giving anybody a chance.
11:24Okay, so to sum this all up, you're saying that my life is a total disaster and that dating is going to fix everything.
11:33No, that's not what we're saying.
11:34I'm not talking to you.
11:35I'm talking to a wig lady.
11:37It's called a peruke, actually.
11:39I used to sit and watch you sketch for hours.
11:41You were totally lost in it and it was the most wonderful thing to watch because I could see how happy it made you.
11:46And I don't see you do that anymore.
11:52Something's changed.
11:54We just want to see you happy.
11:56We want to see a smile on that face and some light in those eyes.
12:00We just want to see you hang out with, you know, frankly anyone except, you know, this old geezer.
12:06Sorry?
12:07Just give it a go.
12:11And besides, you know, I'll really sign you up, so.
12:16Okay, well, you know what?
12:18I hate to tell you this, but you wasted your money.
12:20And even though I technically love you guys, I also sort of hate you right now because you're making me feel like my entire life is just one big problem.
12:29So with that, I bid you adieu.
12:31Curry's on the table.
12:32Have a great night.
12:34Kate, wait.
12:38You're too young to spend every night with your old man.
12:42Can't live your life.
12:45I could say the same thing to you.
12:46You've taken care of me long enough.
12:49I can get my own curry.
12:52Can you?
12:53Maybe it's time for me to change it up a bit, too.
13:00Fine.
13:01Yay!
13:02Okay.
13:03Getting my dad involved?
13:04Really dirty move.
13:05Well, I know how to win a case.
13:07Anyway, go and get changed and put your face on because your first date starts in 90 minutes.
13:13I'll be there.
13:15I'll be there.
13:27I need new friends.
13:29Holiday time, when magic happens.
13:45It's a jolly old time in Manhattan.
13:56Holiday greetings.
13:57I'm Drew, the founder of the 12 Dates of Christmas dating program.
14:04And I'm your Christmas Cupid.
14:07Welcome to the first of 12 magical romantic experiences.
14:11Let me see.
14:12You are Kate Tucker, textile designer.
14:15Very cool.
14:16American and English.
14:18Amazing.
14:20Loves to read very romantic-y.
14:22Whoa.
14:23No, no.
14:23That's not me.
14:24You know, my friend.
14:25No judgment here.
14:2712 dates were created to inspire connections in ways that you might not expect.
14:32Sometimes you'll meet in a group, sometimes you'll meet one-on-one, but all you need to know
14:38is that my matchmaking intuition is hard at work.
14:42And the 12 dates philosophy is, this time of year is perfect to open your heart to romance.
14:51Is it?
14:52Absolutely.
14:54You'll see.
15:04Update, I guess.
15:05It's perfect.
15:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:10Nervous?
15:11Is it just me or does this whole thing feel kind of like an Agatha Christie novel?
15:15Like, they lure us here for romance and one of us is going to end up dead on the library floor.
15:19My love life has been a murder mystery for years.
15:23Your carriage awaits.
15:24My love life has been a murder mystery for years.
15:54And your date is on the way.
16:04Won't be long.
16:11Okay, this is pretty cute.
16:12I love you.
16:42Mmm! Crunchy.
16:55Knock, knock!
16:58I'm afraid I've not got the best snoots.
17:02I can't believe there was a no-show. I never expected that to happen.
17:06Honestly, it's fine, because I didn't even want to do this.
17:09I was literally forced into this, so it's funny, you know?
17:11And now it's good, because I can report back that it was a spectacular failure.
17:18Don't let it deter you.
17:20The 12 days will make it up to you, I promise.
17:23This is not for me. I am not a dinner-for-two, romance kind of a person.
17:29I just, I don't need it. I don't want it.
17:31But I appreciate the breadsticks.
17:33Hup-hup, driver!
17:41I'm sorry.
17:44This is just my own choice.
17:46I want pasties to garnish.
17:51Oh boy!
17:52Give me all your pasties and nobody gets hurt!
17:54She survived! How was it?
17:57Well, it's not great.
17:59Here's a no-show.
18:00No.
18:01Yeah, Laura's apoplectic.
18:02I'm sure she'll have a full refund by the morning.
18:03That's a shame.
18:04I was hoping for hilarity.
18:05That's just sad.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Well, at least it's proof that the answer to all of life's questions is not in a dating service.
18:13I wouldn't say that.
18:14Why?
18:15Well, you never really date.
18:16And when you do, you always find a flaw.
18:18It's funny, because I seem to remember choosing you for a brief moment in time.
18:22One kiss in uni doesn't count.
18:24Whatever.
18:25You know, dating is just so messy.
18:27When the right person comes into my life, I'm gonna know.
18:30Sorry, sorry, sorry.
18:32Train delay was murder.
18:38Kate, you look lovely all dressed up.
18:40Thanks.
18:41Wanna join us?
18:42That's okay.
18:43I'm just gonna go see my dad.
18:44I'm sure the next one will go great.
18:46If he shows up.
18:47If he shows up.
18:52What are you shaking?
18:58What?
18:59Date two tonight?
19:01I'm busy.
19:02Oh, we both know that's not true.
19:04Why are you making me do this?
19:06Because I have been with the same man my entire life.
19:11And I need you to go out and have a wonderful, highly spicy time,
19:16and come back and tell me all the details.
19:19Spicy bit.
19:20I need you to keep it.
19:24Where's your coffee?
19:25Get your coffee, yeah.
19:34Sign of scarves, sign of coats.
19:352, 4, 15, 1, 30 pounds.
19:37What?
19:38You can't count if you believe it.
19:48Oh.
19:49Goodness.
19:50You look tired.
19:51Thanks for that.
19:52You, of course, look radiant, as always.
19:55You are.
19:56This altar and the grenadines does wonders for the body, among other things.
20:02I don't even want to know what that means.
20:04I would like you to come here for the holidays.
20:08What?
20:09Well, you're always with your dad for Christmas.
20:11It's so gloomy there.
20:13We could spend Christmas Day on the beach in a bikini.
20:17Or, uh, a tankini.
20:18No.
20:19Whatever it is you want.
20:20Mom.
20:21Dad is having a really rough time, so I have to be here.
20:24And, actually, I don't even think that I can be with you for New Year's this year, either.
20:28So, sorry.
20:29But, Nugget, New Year's is our thing.
20:32We always meet for New Year's.
20:34Yeah, I know.
20:35But I have to be here.
20:37Anyway, look at the time.
20:39I have to go get ready for a date.
20:41So.
20:42What?
20:43A date?
20:44Hey.
20:45Bye-bye.
20:46Gotta go.
20:47Bye.
20:48Bye-bye.
20:55The mittens have landed.
20:58And that's my cue.
21:00Glad you're coming around again.
21:02Don't get mushy on me.
21:04Evelyn.
21:05Haven't seen you around here lately.
21:07I've been busy.
21:08Well, retirement will do that.
21:11I took up 20 hobbies in my first year.
21:14Such as the book club that knits.
21:20What about you?
21:21Bird houses.
21:22Ah.
21:23Can't stop making them.
21:24I've got about 40 in my shed.
21:26How's the hip?
21:27In this village, nothing goes unnoticed.
21:29It's fine.
21:30My Latin aerobics class will loosen those hips right up.
21:33What's Latin aerobics?
21:34Stop by tomorrow.
21:35Think you like it.
21:36Could be fun.
21:37Boy.
21:38Button it.
21:39Like Cinderella.
21:40The shoe fits perfectly.
21:41Do you remind me which part of Cinderella involved her breaking both her ankles?
21:46Don't worry.
21:47It could be fun.
21:51Oi.
21:52Got a minute.
22:01Like Cinderella, the shoe fits perfectly.
22:04Drew, remind me which part of Cinderella involved her breaking both her ankles.
22:08Don't worry.
22:09You will have someone to hang on to.
22:12Meet Oliver.
22:17Jesus, you're pretty far away.
22:21You both skate towards each other, meet in the middle and form a connection.
22:25It'll be epic.
22:27Oh.
22:32It'll be something.
22:46Hi.
22:47Hi.
22:49Oh.
22:52Is this the night you had in mind?
22:54You know, I was actually picturing comfortable seating and strong drinks.
22:59Okay.
23:03Well, I haven't done this in a long time.
23:05Date?
23:06Skate, but date applies to.
23:09So, why are you?
23:12I mean, I'm just so curious about the type of person who would actually sign up for this.
23:16I could say the same to you.
23:18Oh, no, no.
23:18I am here against my will.
23:20Okay?
23:20I was forced into this.
23:21It was an ambush.
23:22And I will have my revenge.
23:24You know, my friends think I don't get out enough.
23:27It's just harder than I remember.
23:31Dating.
23:32Skating.
23:33So, are you going to answer my question?
23:36Why am I doing 12 dates?
23:37I'm just going to say it.
23:40Loneliness.
23:42That's a bold admission.
23:43Good for you.
23:44Yeah, this time last year I was in a relationship and I thought this might help me move on.
23:48Or at least not feel alone at Christmas.
23:52Is it working?
23:53I think so.
23:56I think that's for us.
23:58I hope so.
24:01It wasn't too bad.
24:04That's enough.
24:08There it was.
24:09Just wedged right between the seats.
24:12Completely.
24:13Couldn't stand up.
24:13Had to get not one but two ushers to yank me out.
24:16Oh, no.
24:17Yeah, and I guess that's why they say don't do bottomless mimosas before you go see Wicked.
24:23So, um, what's the story with your last relationship?
24:29Oh, um, she ended things.
24:32What did you do?
24:33It was more about what I didn't do.
24:35Everything about our relationship was, uh, outside my comfort zone, which I thought I didn't like.
24:41Turns out it's the best.
24:42I only realized too late.
24:43Hey, you live and you learn, right?
24:47What am I doing?
24:48On a date, whinging about my ex.
24:50It's fine.
24:51Feel your feelings, my guy.
24:52I'm here for you.
24:54You're friendzoning me.
24:56I'm just trying to be a good listener.
24:58Pretty much everything about this experience is out of my comfort zone.
25:03And I don't think it's a good thing.
25:06I think it could be.
25:08Hmm.
25:10Oh.
25:13Ugh.
25:15Will we?
25:17Bad luck not to.
25:18Oh, my God.
25:19Oh, my God.
25:21Oh, my God.
25:21Oh, no.
25:30Oh, no.
25:34Oh, no.
25:35Oh, my God.
25:36Oh, no.
25:38Oh, no.
25:39Oh, no.
25:40Oh, no.
25:40I'm sorry.
25:41Oh, you're so naughty.
25:44Well, thank you.
25:45Lisa!
25:52I didn't realise she was everything I ever wanted until she was gone.
25:56And now, whenever I meet someone perfectly nice,
26:00all I can think about is her.
26:02She wanted to plan a life together.
26:05She wanted to get married.
26:07On a boat.
26:09I told her I wasn't a boat person.
26:12What does that even mean?
26:14Okay.
26:15Can't you just tell her how you feel?
26:18No.
26:19She's met someone else now.
26:21She's moved on.
26:22Okay, so what?
26:24What?
26:25So she met someone else.
26:27I mean, you can still tell her how you feel.
26:30It's too late.
26:31You don't know that.
26:33I mean, how is she supposed to know how you feel unless you tell her?
26:40I'm embarrassed.
26:41He just wept into my mouth.
26:43I think if you can get through that, you can get through talking to your ex-girlfriend.
26:48So, yeah, I think I really inspired him.
26:52Four cents get his heart broken.
26:54Again.
26:55He literally cried.
26:56On your face.
26:57In my mouth.
26:58Oh.
26:59It was upsetting.
27:00But kind of sweet, you know?
27:02I mean, we love a guy who's in touch with his feelings.
27:04This was supposed to be about you, not some rando.
27:06Come on.
27:07I helped this guy reconnect with the love of his life?
27:09That's like the most romantic thing I've ever been a part of.
27:11Oh.
27:12This is my point.
27:13The most romantic thing you've ever been a part of and it's not even for you.
27:15I mean, I hate to say it, but she's right.
27:17It's fine, Cameron.
27:18It's fine.
27:19The next one is going to be brilliant.
27:20Oh, because you have the inside scoop now?
27:22I have Drew on speed dial.
27:23Oh.
27:24Poor woman.
27:25She needs to know.
27:26You and me come as a package deal.
27:28This is true.
27:29So, the physical therapist says that you're not doing your exercises.
27:36Yeah.
27:37I feel dumb.
27:38Hmm.
27:39I'm pretty sure that's for them to decide, not you.
27:41Haven't you got a date to get ready for?
27:43I have some extra time.
27:44Thought I would go to Goring.
27:46Maybe walk along the 10s.
27:47You want to join me?
27:49Uh, go.
27:50Maybe tomorrow.
27:51Another day.
27:52Well, we could take it slow.
27:55Maybe another day.
27:57All right, fine.
28:00Just at least walk around the block or something, would you?
28:03Yeah, I'll think about it.
28:07Well, excuse me for trying to keep your joints from completely fusing together for a lack of exercise.
28:27...
28:35...
28:36It's hidden, right!
28:37I'm behind, Johnny.
28:38...
28:42Mad?
28:43Come on.
28:44Come on.
28:45Come on.

35:54Yeah, it was. Poor woman.

36:00for having the most disgusting.
36:02I think we're the winners.
36:03Yeah.
36:04Well, you know, I didn't have high hopes for this,
36:08but I actually had a really good time.
36:10I had fun, too.
36:12Although there is something I have to mention.
36:15Oh, boy. Here we go.
36:16It's not bad.
36:17I just...
36:18I'm not looking to just date someone.
36:20I want to get married again, have more children.
36:23Not today.
36:25I just find it's best to be really upfront about it.
36:29Here I was, just hoping to get your phone number.
36:31You can have it.
36:33Just...
36:34I also want you to know what my intentions are.
36:36Okay.
36:38I respect that.
36:43What about you?
36:47And what about me?
36:49Marriage.
36:50Kids.
36:51Your future.
36:52Ugh.
36:54Are you always this serious on a first date?
36:58Actually, yeah.
36:59Dating is time consuming.
37:01We both have really busy lives.
37:04It's just cut to the chase.
37:06What do you want?
37:10I don't know.
37:11I don't really think about it.
37:12Really?
37:13I don't...
37:14Why are you doing all this?
37:15If you don't really know what you're looking for?
37:16It's a good question.
37:17Maybe I...
37:18Maybe I shouldn't be.
37:19Are you ever gonna block that...
37:20Dad?
37:21So he's not in the shed.
37:22He's not in the pub.
37:23And he's not in the pear tree.
37:24Where else could he be?
37:25How long should I be?
37:26How long should I wait before I file a missing parent report?
37:27Yeah, I'm not sure.
37:28But anyway, there's always date number one.
37:29I don't know.
37:30I don't know.
37:31I don't know.
37:32I don't know.
37:33I don't know.
37:34I don't know.
37:35I don't know.
37:36I don't know.
37:37I don't know.
37:38I don't know.
37:39You're gonna block that...
37:40Dad?
37:42So he's not in the shed.
37:45He's not in the pub.
37:46And he's not in the pear tree.
37:48Where else could he be?
37:49How long should I wait before I file a missing parent report?
37:52Yeah, I'm not sure.
37:53But anyway, there's always date number four.
37:55So one more try.
37:56My friend.
37:57It's time to let it go.
37:58But there's nine more dates.
37:59That guy was right.
38:00I have no idea what I want.
38:02What's the point of doing all this if not a relationship or a serious commitment or a betrothal?
38:08Betrothal?
38:09Look.
38:10This is all too much for me to take on.
38:12I mean, it's like my dad and work and I can't be trying to solve an existential crisis.
38:20It's just too much.
38:21Yeah.
38:22It all just looks so romantic.
38:23To have all that choice.
38:25To be hopeful and full of possibility.
38:28Do you know how hard it is to be a divorce lawyer who believes in true love?
38:32You really do contain multitudes.
38:34Thanks babe.
38:35Seriously, I see you work so hard.
38:38And you take so much care of the people you love.
38:41And you deserve to have someone take care of you too.
38:43And I just really want to help you find that.
38:45I know.
38:46I know how badly you want this.
38:47If something amazing shows up at my door, I promise to open it.
38:50Oh.
38:51You promise?
38:52Promise.
38:55Now, can we please find this man?
38:58Oh.
38:59Buenos dias, Papa.
39:01Oh.
39:02Hang on.
39:03Where's my pants?
39:04I have more questions than answers.
39:05Oh.
39:06I'm all grown up now.
39:07Oh.
39:08Oh.
39:09Oh.
39:10Hang on.
39:11Where's my pants?
39:12I have more questions than answers.
39:14Oh.
39:15I'm all grown up now.
39:17Ho.
39:18Greetings.
39:19I come bearing gifts.
39:20No.
39:21No more mystery dates for me.
39:34I'm done.
39:35Greetings. I come bearing gifts.
39:43No. No more mystery dates for me. I'm done.
39:46Well, why don't you just read the card?
39:49Look, I've been watching you.
39:52I'm scared.
39:53Well, it's my job.
39:54And this doesn't come as much of a surprise, seeing as this is only a third date.
39:59But you haven't had your moment yet.
40:03What moment?
40:05The moment when you realize that this is why you're doing the 12 dates.
40:10Because of this person, or this experience, or this self-realization.
40:17People do this program because they're searching for something.
40:22And we help them find it.
40:26Okay, well, what if I don't even know what it is?
40:31That's the beauty of it.
40:32You don't have to know what it is.
40:35You just have to take a chance when it comes.
40:40He's here.
40:43Who's where?
40:45Richard.
40:46The guy from the first date.
40:47These are from him.
40:49He's in the cafe down the road.
40:51Read the card.
40:53Take a chance.
40:54Tis the season.
40:56Snow flays dancing on the windowpane.
41:00Laughter echoing down the lane.
41:04Something about this time of year.
41:07Kate, sorry I was a note, Snow.
41:09I'm hoping you'll forgive me.
41:11Richard.
41:11P.S.
41:12I'm a complete and utter idiot for missing our first date.
41:14Love, magic and joy.
41:18Love, magic and joy.
41:21We're gonna bring joy to your world.
41:24He's here.
41:48He's here.
41:53Amen.
