00:01So I'm forced to put up with this nasty man touching me.
00:05And it's all because my mother wants to get her hands on his money.
00:10My name is Grace, and this is my love story.
00:15Honey, aren't you and Ben such a perfect match?
00:20Did I tell you he owns a chain of fast food restaurants?
00:24The wife of such an intelligent and handsome man could get anything she wants.
00:38I won't marry him, and I don't need his money.
00:43Jesus, Mom, he's growing me in front of you.
00:50Get used to it.
00:52A woman is supposed to please a man who's going to pay her bills.
00:58Come on.
01:04Look, Ben, isn't Gracie a wonderful housekeeper?
01:12Don't worry, baby. Daddy won't hurt you.
01:27How dare you? Do you have any idea who you are?
01:30Read my limps. You are a worthless piece of nothing.
01:33Trash, little white mouse.
01:34You don't deserve to be taken to a nice restaurant.
01:36A coffee and a paper cup is all you deserve.
01:39Hold still, or there'll be no writing.
01:40Grace, apologize to Ben immediately.
01:43Or do I have to remind you of your manners?
01:47Where are you going? Come back!
01:53As I walked down the street, I couldn't hold back the tears.
01:58Only one thought was spinning in my head.
02:00If my own mother doesn't love me, then who could ever love me at all?
02:09Although, maybe filthy Ben is right.
02:11And decent men wouldn't fall in love with someone like me.
02:15Who needs a grey mouth without a penny in her pocket?
02:19The only thing that could make me feel better was hot coffee.
02:23But my wish came too sooner than I expected.
02:28Damn!
02:29Sorry, it's...
02:31Hey, don't touch me. It's okay.
02:34Can I at least buy you some coffee?
02:37Coffee in a paper cup is all you deserve.
02:41Do I look like a person who likes cheap coffee in a paper cup?
02:48No.
02:50You look like a shameless gold digger.
02:52What? What did you say? Come back here!
02:54You're mean and...
02:56Hey.
02:58Hey, yeah, hi.
03:00Heartless.
03:00In my two years as a social worker,
03:03I get to know every homeless person in the neighborhood.
03:07But I never saw a single person in the whole country help them.
03:12Alright, man. Great, great. Super.
03:14Thanks a lot, man.
03:16Alright.
03:19Hi, Freddy.
03:20How's your leg?
03:22It's a lot better, thanks.
03:23Wait here.
03:25I'll get you some coffee.
03:26Oh, thanks a lot.
03:28Thank you very much.
03:35You're in the wrong place when we serve cheap coffee here.
03:39I'm sorry.
03:41I...
03:42I overreacted.
03:45And then I saw you helping Fred and...
03:48Sure.
03:50And unlike you, he doesn't mind drinking coffee out of a paper cup.
03:54Sorry.
03:56I was rude.
03:59I just had a rough day today.
04:18My name is Grace.
04:22What's yours?
04:25You have beautiful eyes, Grace.
04:30Oh, you know, um, there are lots of homeless people in the neighborhood.
04:36I just wanted to say thank you for caring about them.
04:42I also deliver food after work myself.
04:45Stop talking about it.
04:48Excuse me?
04:52Regular people don't brag about doing good deeds.
04:55You're not one of those lying social workers, are you?
04:58The ones who like to talk about helping the homeless people but never do anything.
05:03Because they're just lazy bureaucrats whose only goal is to text the rich and use it to lie in their
05:09pockets.
05:11Nasty crowd of people.
05:13I... I don't think that all of the social workers are like this.
05:17Some of them are really caring too.
05:21Show me a social worker like that and I'll buy a cup of coffee.
05:31Oh.
05:33I'm sorry.
05:34I didn't mean to offend you.
05:38At least I don't have to pay for this coffee.
05:47And I wonder, when you bring out food for Fred, do you ever ask him where he'd spend his Christmas?
05:56Under the bridge or in the park?
05:58Or maybe you care about his very conveyance or his daughter who kicked him out of the house?
06:04Oh.
06:05Feeding these guys is great.
06:06But it doesn't give you the right to act as Mother Teresa and belittle social workers.
06:20Oh, thank you.
06:23Okay, so have a good day.
06:25Yeah, you too.
06:25Bye, bye.
06:28Not even the terrible cold outside could cool me off.
06:32My ears were still ringing from two hours of my mother's screaming.
06:37And on the top of that, the coffee guy insults me.
06:41See you tomorrow.
06:42Good luck.
06:43Good luck.
06:44Bye.
06:44And then I saw him again.
06:50I knew where to find you.
06:54Hey, hey.
06:55Wait a minute.
06:56I think I was too harsh on you today.
06:59You think?
07:03We can feed the homeless in our cafe for Christmas.
07:09We have a kitchen, and in Owen, and there is a plenty of hot tea too.
07:15Maybe we can even make a malt wine or whatever they drink for Christmas.
07:22And then what?
07:23The restaurant owner come down the chimney and kick us out?
07:28He won't.
07:32So, do you agree?
07:35I had a weird feeling about this stranger.
07:39It was as if I couldn't say no to him.
07:44Like it happens with the people you love.
07:54Okay, but we're gonna need lots of food.
07:59I'm closing the cafe tonight, and the kitchen is all yours.
08:05So, let's exchange contacts, shall we?
08:09I'll be waiting for you at 8 at the back door.
08:20Hey, get your hands off of her. She's engaged to a millionaire.
08:24Mom, what are you doing here?
08:26Who is this?
08:28This is the barista from the cafe next door.
08:31His name is...
08:35Jesus! You've been making out in the middle of the street with a complete stranger!
08:40What if Ben finds out? Have you even thought about that?
08:44I don't care about Ben.
08:46This peasant will try to kiss you at the first chance he gets.
08:52Well, Grace, I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night.
08:59Hey! What is going on here?
09:03Grace Joanna Smith, you've got a lot of...
09:06He was full of secrets, and I knew I had to see him the next day at any cost.
09:14The next day, at 8 o'clock sharp, I was standing at the back entrance of the coffee shop.
09:21I even had to fake a call from my boss to escape from my mom.
09:36I didn't think you'd be able to make it.
09:40You scared me.
09:51I was stunned when I walked into the kitchen.
09:56I bought the best products for baking.
09:58There is Italian floor and Mexican vanilla.
10:02And...
10:04There is even cardamom and saffron.
10:07And I hope you need them, because I've been running all over town to find them.
10:12I could feel that while I was unpacking the groceries,
10:16he was always watching me.
10:17Of course, I pretended not to notice.
10:22Okay.
10:23So, I think we will have to set up all the cooking process.
10:29Uh...
10:31I don't think so.
10:35The thing is...
10:38I don't know how to cook.
10:41Well, no mister.
10:43I think that I will have to teach you everything.
10:47And then...
10:49I was unstoppable.
10:51Controlling his hands, I showed him how to thin the butter,
10:55knead the dough, and whip the frosting.
10:58Either he was a bad student, or I just wanted to keep touching him.
11:04But by the end, we were standing very close.
11:09And then...
11:11What's...
11:12What's your name after all?
11:15It doesn't matter.
11:20Then...
11:20What does?
11:28It's our cookies are on fire.
11:33It's our cookies are on fire.
11:40Three days in a row we met in that kitchen.
11:44I felt like I had known him forever,
11:47even though he never said a word about himself.
11:53For the first time in my life,
11:55I had a man around me who didn't treat me like a thing he could do anything with.
12:01And then...
12:01Put in the strings of my eyes
12:05Whenever you fell apart
12:07But then...
12:25What the hell?
12:27Sorry.
12:28I don't like being kissed without my concern.
12:30It's just a kiss.
12:32If it's just a kiss for you, you're just a creep to me.
12:35You're just another guy who thinks that he can get whatever he wants without my concern.
12:39I'm not that kind of girl.
12:41Or what do you think?
12:42I've fallen in love with you?
12:46How could I?
12:47I even don't know your name.
12:51Wait a minute.
12:52Grace, it's a Christmas soon, you have to...
12:54I don't have to do anything.
12:59And then there were three days of calls, messages, and flowers.
13:06I don't know how he got my address.
13:09Phone number.
13:13What are these? More flowers from your homeless guys?
13:22Did they rob a flower shop?
13:27I was still angry at the stranger.
13:30But it wasn't even about the kiss.
13:33It was that he thought he could get close to me without opening up himself.
13:38Hey, you're not gonna go out and feed your beggars on Christmas Eve, are you?
13:42I guess I'd no longer feel you here.
13:50Everything I cooked is somewhere else.
13:54Perfect. Because we have a special guest tonight.
13:57What?
13:58Oh, hey! There's a box out here. Can you come grab it, quick?
14:00Okay.
14:03And then this box appeared on the doorstep.
14:11Inside the box was a cake, burned enough for me to know who made it.
14:20I don't seem to be good at either cooking or expressing my sympathy, but maybe you can forgive me, waiting
14:29for you.
14:31But the most important thing was on the back, his name.
14:38You're falling.
14:41You're falling.
14:44Oh, am I holding on to somebody?
14:49Don't you dare step foot outside.
14:53But I need to...
14:55you need to greet your special guest.
14:59Benny, come on in the kitchen.
15:02Hey, baby, Merry Christmas.
15:08Jesus, Mom, he's been humiliating me.
15:11He taught you a lesson.
15:14And I persuaded him to forgive your terrible temper.
15:19I also persuaded him to propose to you.
15:23You will say yes, because I said so.
15:27Look closely.
15:30At what?
15:32At him.
15:34Do you really think that he would send you to Tropics
15:38or get you a new fur coat or put you in a fancy apartment?
15:42The best you can get out of this deal is chicken nuggets
15:46or ketchup stains on the carpet.
15:50But do you really want this?
15:53I know I don't.
15:56And that's why I'm leaving to someone who really needs me.
16:06Sorry.
16:16I love you.
16:19Where is she?
16:27Lord, take your head out of that pink!
16:35I couldn't believe my eyes.
16:38All by himself, he had set everything up
16:41and better than I could have imagined.
16:53I'm so sorry that I was angry.
16:56And I'm so sorry for not answering and for not showing up.
17:01And for not helping you.
17:06Is there anything I can do for you?
17:11Anything?
17:16Yes.
17:19Stay with me.
17:24For the rest of the party?
17:35For the rest of my life.
17:52I still didn't know anything about him.
17:56He was still a stranger to me.
17:58But I only felt happy around him.
18:02Why?
18:02There could only be one explanation.
18:05It is love.
18:07So, how did you manage to set it up here?
18:13And where did all this food come from?
18:18On the owner of the cafe.
18:20On the owner of the cafe.
18:22What?
18:24This one?
18:26This one.
18:27And fifteen others in this town.
