00:00:11The End
00:01:55Don't worry, Mayor.
00:01:57Take good care of him.
00:01:58Once I get him working in the fields, he'll be in good shape.
00:02:01I know you will.
00:02:03It just doesn't make it any easier to see him leave home.
00:02:08Do you still have that show pony?
00:02:09I do.
00:02:12Well, if you need any help with him, you let me know.
00:02:15I'll send James over when I can, and he'll keep an eye on him.
00:02:19He's not doing too good.
00:02:21Had the vet out again, he's kind of colicky, hasn't been eaten.
00:02:25I don't know what else to do.
00:02:28It's a shame.
00:02:29I know how you love these horses.
00:02:31Yeah, well, you take good care of him for me, okay?
00:02:35I will do.
00:02:53I understand.
00:02:55I understand.
00:02:55Yes.
00:02:56Monday?
00:02:58Okay, that sounds great.
00:02:59All right, we'll see you then.
00:03:01Okay.
00:03:02Thanks.
00:03:03Bye.
00:03:10Lizzie, if you need us, all you have to do is call.
00:03:14Lizzie.
00:03:17Lizzie.
00:03:24Are you insane?
00:03:26Your mother was talking to you.
00:03:28Lizzie, this visit is going to be good for you.
00:03:31Whatever.
00:03:32You're still abandoning me.
00:03:33That's not true.
00:03:35No?
00:03:36No.
00:03:36You'll get some fresh air, clear your head, spend time with Grandma and the horses.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:44Lizzie, if we could stay with you, we would, but we have to work.
00:03:47Yeah.
00:03:49You know, it really sucks being kicked out of your own house for Christmas.
00:03:52I know, sweetie, I know, but you'll be all right.
00:04:07Hi, Mary.
00:04:08Hey.
00:04:09You made it.
00:04:10Hi, Mary.
00:04:12Let me see this face.
00:04:13Do I recognize it?
00:04:14Yeah.
00:04:14Thanks, Mom.
00:04:15It's hard getting you out of the city.
00:04:16I know.
00:04:17So, how are you?
00:04:18You look lovely.
00:04:19Oh, thank you.
00:04:20How's business?
00:04:21It's good.
00:04:22Busy.
00:04:23Busy's good.
00:04:24Mm-hmm.
00:04:25So, where's my granddaughter?
00:04:28She won't get out of the car until we leave.
00:04:31Really?
00:04:32Mm-hmm.
00:04:33Mom, you have no idea.
00:04:34It's been rough.
00:04:45Hey.
00:04:46Wanted to come out and say hi to your grandma?
00:04:52Hi.
00:05:00See what I mean?
00:05:03Well, strong-willed, moody.
00:05:07I wonder where she gets it from.
00:05:10It's called being a teenager.
00:05:11She'll be fine.
00:05:12Well, I hope this time away will be good for her.
00:05:15I'm sure it will.
00:05:16And it'll be nice to have somebody here living with me, too.
00:05:19So, can I get you a cup of coffee, fix you a snack before you hit the road?
00:05:23Oh, we have contracts we have to get in first thing in the morning.
00:05:26It was a really long drive.
00:05:27I wish we could, though.
00:05:29Yeah.
00:05:29I understand.
00:05:31We'll see you later.
00:05:33Good to see you.
00:05:34So good to see you.
00:05:35If she gives you any trouble, let me know.
00:05:37I'll come pick her up if I have to.
00:05:39I'm sure she's going to be just fine.
00:05:41Now, you guys drive safe.
00:05:43Thank you, Mary.
00:05:44Miss you.
00:05:44Bye.
00:05:46Bye.
00:05:49Bye.
00:05:50Bye.
00:05:50Bye.
00:05:52Bye.
00:05:59You want something to eat?
00:06:01No.
00:06:04Something to drink?
00:06:06Stupid.
00:06:10How about we go for a hike?
00:06:12I hate nature.
00:06:13I'm just going to go to my room.
00:06:16Do you want help on packing?
00:06:18I'm fine.
00:06:20Your bags are in your room.
00:06:26This is a horrible picture of me.
00:06:31I love this picture of you.
00:06:33I look stupid.
00:06:37Okay.
00:06:38Let's go for a walk.
00:06:41Now.
00:07:01Didn't you guys used to have a lot of horses here?
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:05Me and your grandpa used to have seven.
00:07:09Do you miss him?
00:07:11What, was your grandfather?
00:07:14Yeah, of course I did.
00:07:16What do you remember about him?
00:07:19He'd give me a dollar every time I'd visit.
00:07:23Figures.
00:07:29Why don't we go take a look at my morning?
00:07:44Where are they?
00:07:47Keep going.
00:07:55She's so cute.
00:08:01Something wrong with her?
00:08:04He's very sick.
00:08:06He's got colic and...
00:08:08I had the vet out to look at him, but...
00:08:11He hasn't been eating anything at all and...
00:08:14I don't know what else to do with him.
00:08:16I don't have the time to sit here and...
00:08:20Just be with him all day.
00:08:21I've tried everything I know.
00:08:24What about the rest of them?
00:08:28I, um...
00:08:29I couldn't take care of them anymore.
00:08:31So you just gave them away?
00:08:32No, Lizzie.
00:08:33It's not as easy as that.
00:08:35It's not important right now.
00:08:37Not important.
00:08:39I know exactly how they felt.
00:08:42Nobody wants me either.
00:08:45You are wanted.
00:08:46And you're very much loved.
00:08:53What's this one's name?
00:08:55He doesn't have a bar name yet.
00:08:56I couldn't come up with a name that I thought would fit.
00:08:59So...
00:09:00I thought that you might want to name him.
00:09:02Seriously?
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:05But you have to take care of him.
00:09:07That's the deal.
00:09:09You name him, you take care of him.
00:09:12I don't know anything about taking care of a horse.
00:09:16Raising horses is in your blood.
00:09:18It didn't come to you.
00:09:20I've never done it before.
00:09:23But he is very sick.
00:09:25And he needs a friend right now.
00:09:26And frankly, I think that he could use one too.
00:09:31What do you say?
00:09:34Hmm?
00:09:36I don't know.
00:09:39A horse has to really, really trust you.
00:09:43And, um, you can't force it.
00:09:47And for some reason, this is my last one.
00:09:50And I have not been able to contact with him.
00:09:53So, I just want you to try.
00:09:57What do you say?
00:09:59You got a deal?
00:10:01Hmm?
00:10:02Okay.
00:10:04Deal.
00:10:18Poor thing.
00:10:32Hey.
00:10:35Brought you some fresh towels.
00:10:38Thanks.
00:10:42Your mom got me that.
00:10:44Did you know that?
00:10:45Cool.
00:10:47I love the snow.
00:10:49I wish it snowed more air.
00:10:52What about you?
00:10:54If you could do anything you wanted.
00:10:57No restrictions.
00:10:59What do you want to do with your life?
00:11:01I don't know.
00:11:04I guess...
00:11:07I guess I'd want to be somebody important.
00:11:09Do something good.
00:11:12Like helping people?
00:11:15I guess.
00:11:18I just don't want to be obsessed with my job like my parents are.
00:11:22Hmm.
00:11:25Yeah, it's whatever.
00:11:28Okay, well...
00:11:29I'll leave you be now.
00:11:31If you get bored, you want to read a book?
00:11:33Your grandfather's got some down the hall.
00:11:35He used to read everything.
00:11:38How about grilled cheese sandwich and some tomato soup?
00:11:41Sure.
00:11:42Okay.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:51I'll see you next time.
00:11:53I'll be ready.
00:11:54Bye.
00:11:56Bye.
00:11:58I'm fine.
00:11:59Bye.
00:12:02I'm done.
00:12:09Bye.
00:12:11Bye.
00:12:14Bye.
00:12:40Well now what's beating you?
00:12:43Can't find any of those stupid horse books anywhere.
00:12:47There's a white trunk in my room, I betcha they're in there.
00:12:52Hope we didn't give them away.
00:13:02Nope.
00:13:26Finally.
00:13:27Finally.
00:13:28Finally.
00:13:42I don't know.
00:14:12Whoa, where are you going?
00:14:14I'm going to go be in the barn.
00:14:15Do you have any carrots?
00:14:16This book says horses like carrots.
00:14:18What about dinner?
00:14:19I've got to go.
00:14:21Maybe eat at six.
00:14:23Don't be late.
00:14:24Hey!
00:14:35Hey, boy.
00:14:36Look what I brought you.
00:14:53Come on.
00:14:53Try it.
00:14:55I've got to eat something, babe.
00:14:59Come on.
00:15:09I want you to eat.
00:15:26Hey, Barry.
00:15:27Hi.
00:15:28How's my horse doing?
00:15:29Good.
00:15:30Um, he's liking his new home.
00:15:33Dad said we're going to start training him tomorrow.
00:15:34Oh, that's great.
00:15:36How's everything else at home?
00:15:37Pretty good.
00:15:38It's, uh, just busy.
00:15:39There's a lot of people coming over for Christmas.
00:15:41That should be nice.
00:15:42Yeah, it's just hectic.
00:15:44What, not a fan?
00:15:45No.
00:15:46I like it nice and quiet.
00:15:48I get a lot more work done that way.
00:15:50Did you get my little project finished?
00:15:56Oh, my gosh.
00:15:59Perfect.
00:16:00Absolutely perfect.
00:16:02Cool.
00:16:03It smells good, by the way.
00:16:05Well, we'll have to sit down and have some dinner.
00:16:07No, no, no.
00:16:08I can't.
00:16:09I didn't expect you to make dinner for me.
00:16:11Come on.
00:16:12I told Lizzie dinner was at six, and it is almost 6.30, so let's eat.
00:16:21Your Heavenly Father, thank you for this food for wonderful neighbors, for this day, for
00:16:25my granddaughter, and help us to use this food to nourish our bodies.
00:16:28Amen.
00:16:29Amen.
00:16:30Amen.
00:16:41So, Lizzie's staying for Christmas?
00:16:42Mm-hmm.
00:16:44Your parents have to work.
00:16:45Real estate is a tough business.
00:16:48We've got a couple of really big deals closing at the end of the year.
00:16:53Oh, Lizzie.
00:16:55This is James.
00:16:56James, my granddaughter, Lizzie.
00:16:58Hi.
00:16:59Is that my dinner?
00:17:01Um, I said dinner was at six, and it's 6.30 now.
00:17:05So what am I supposed to do?
00:17:06Starve?
00:17:07No, I'm sure that there's more carrots in the fridge.
00:17:18I should probably go.
00:17:20Don't worry about it, James.
00:17:22She's going to be fine.
00:17:22She's just a little bit frustrated right now.
00:17:26Will I see you tomorrow?
00:17:27Tomorrow?
00:17:28Yeah, I think that she's going to need a little bit of help with that pony.
00:17:31I mean, yeah, yeah.
00:17:32I'll have to check with Dad if he needs me to work on the farm, but sure.
00:17:36You tell Phil.
00:17:37I said he works you too hard.
00:17:40Oh, that reminds me.
00:17:41I promised I'd help him set up the tree.
00:17:43I got to go.
00:17:45Okay.
00:17:46Thanks for dinner.
00:18:21None of these stupid books are telling me anything about taking care of a horse.
00:18:25How am I supposed to know what I'm doing?
00:18:27You told me to take care of him.
00:18:29Let's go inside.
00:18:30I'll make you something to eat.
00:18:33Not until I figure out how to feed him.
00:18:36Why don't we give him a blanket and we'll get you warmed up.
00:18:40How am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to do?
00:18:43You told me to take care of him.
00:18:45I don't know anything about taking care of a stupid horse.
00:18:47It's enough.
00:18:50Okay?
00:18:52Inside the house.
00:18:53Dinner time.
00:18:56Fine.
00:19:03This is for you.
00:19:04What is it?
00:19:06Open it.
00:19:07I had a friend of mine make you something.
00:19:10The boy who ate my dinner.
00:19:20A horse.
00:19:22Not just a horse.
00:19:24He was my horse.
00:19:25And his name was Hercules.
00:19:27Hercules?
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:29And he was the best show jumper around.
00:19:34Did you give him away too?
00:19:39I have to go check on the pony.
00:19:45Lunch at noon.
00:19:47I have to go check on the pony.
00:20:06Grandma.
00:20:08I've got a name for him.
00:20:09For the pony?
00:20:10Hope.
00:20:12Hope?
00:20:13Yeah.
00:20:14That sounds good.
00:20:16It fits.
00:20:22I know you know why my parents sent me here.
00:20:27But I'm not a bad kid.
00:20:30I know you're not.
00:20:33I didn't mean for it to happen.
00:20:36I just got so tired of everything.
00:20:40Then everything got bad.
00:20:44Why don't you show them you can do something good?
00:20:47What do you mean?
00:20:49Let them know they can trust you.
00:20:51See the good in you.
00:20:54Do you think I could do that with hope?
00:20:57Maybe.
00:21:01Thanks for this.
00:21:03Yeah.
00:21:05Why don't you clean out the stall?
00:21:06It gets a little bit cold and wet at night time.
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:22You're going to be all nice and warm tonight, aren't you?
00:21:25chois them, Jean?
00:21:49Good boy.
00:21:52You're actually eating it.
00:21:54Come on.
00:22:03I can't believe you're actually eating it.
00:22:07Good job, boy.
00:22:13I'm going to get stronger in no time.
00:22:20He hasn't eaten in days.
00:22:23I've got to see this to believe it.
00:22:28Man, that thing's heavy.
00:22:29Yeah, it's heavy.
00:22:30This is a farm.
00:22:32Let's go.
00:22:33Show me your stuff.
00:22:34All right.
00:22:36Hey.
00:22:37There you go.
00:22:39Yeah, he's been eating hay and carrots all night, haven't you, boy?
00:22:45I don't believe this.
00:22:47You're amazing.
00:22:49All right, I'm going to go make breakfast, okay?
00:22:51Be up in 10?
00:22:52Okay.
00:22:54Would you pick up a man in the way up, please?
00:22:56Sure.
00:23:03Good boy.
00:23:04Mm-hmm.
00:23:10Mm-hmm.
00:23:12Mm.
00:23:16Mm.
00:23:20Mm.
00:23:47Perfect timing. Breakfast is ready.
00:23:49You're going to lose the ranch.
00:23:51What?
00:23:52This letter says the bank's going to take the ranch from you.
00:23:55You opened my mail?
00:23:56So it's true then?
00:23:58You shouldn't open other people's mail, Lizzie.
00:24:00You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?
00:24:02All the money.
00:24:04How much?
00:24:05A lot.
00:24:06That is none of your business.
00:24:10How did this even happen?
00:24:13Ever since your grandfather died, I have had to run this place on my own.
00:24:18Putting my horses in shows.
00:24:19Winning some money.
00:24:21I've gone through my savings.
00:24:23All just to try and make ends meet.
00:24:25You have no idea what it costs to keep a place like this running.
00:24:30It would have been so bad, but the last couple of years, with some early frost, some of the neighbors
00:24:37just about lost everything.
00:24:40Don had a stroke, and Eileen, she broke her hip, so I finally took out a loan on the property
00:24:48to help them out.
00:24:49Why would you do that if you didn't even have money for yourself?
00:24:53These people are like family to me.
00:24:56Ever since your grandfather died, they have been there for me.
00:24:58Checking in on me, taking care of me, and fixing things up around the ranch.
00:25:03What about the horses?
00:25:06I had to sell them to stay current with a loan.
00:25:09Just like that you sold them?
00:25:12I did what I had to.
00:25:16So you're just going to let the bank take the ranch from you?
00:25:21Yes.
00:25:25Can't those neighbors help you?
00:25:27Can't mom and dad help you at least?
00:25:29There's got to be a way, grandma.
00:25:33I won't ask your parents.
00:25:35And I can't ask the neighbors.
00:25:36They're still struggling.
00:25:38Trying to keep their own heads above water.
00:25:41I don't understand.
00:25:42The thing is, nobody knows these farms like the people that are already farming the land.
00:25:47But what really boils my bones are those vultures.
00:25:51The bankers and the developers are just sitting around waiting for a late payment
00:25:55so they can snatch up the property and knock down the barns, get rid of all the animals.
00:26:03Put up a subdivision.
00:26:05And that's what they want to do to my ranch.
00:26:10Charles would be heartbroken.
00:26:14So you're just going to give up?
00:26:18No, that pony was my last hope.
00:26:20I was going to train him for show jumping, win some competitions,
00:26:24sell him and get back on top of things again.
00:26:27And now he's too weak and I'm too tired.
00:26:30I don't have any more time.
00:26:34So that's it then?
00:26:39We have this last Christmas together, you and me.
00:26:43And I'm glad to spend it here with you.
00:27:04There was nobody at the house, so I figured I'd come down here.
00:27:08What do you want?
00:27:09Well, uh, Mary said you might need my help.
00:27:12Did she?
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:14I know a lot about horses.
00:27:15Well, I got hope eating again, so I don't need you.
00:27:21Leave.
00:27:24Look, I'm sorry I ate your dinner.
00:27:27You know, it's hard to say no to your grandma.
00:27:29She asked me to eat with her.
00:27:31All right, she's like a family friend.
00:27:34You're friends with my grandma?
00:27:36Yeah.
00:27:37We've been neighbors since I was born.
00:27:39She's pretty much family to us.
00:27:41Did my grandma give your family money?
00:27:43Yeah.
00:27:44Last year, after the bad frost.
00:27:46Why?
00:27:46Then why don't you guys just pay her back?
00:27:49What?
00:27:49My grandma doesn't have enough money to keep this place going, and your family owes her money.
00:27:54So if you guys don't pay her back, she's going to lose this place.
00:27:58I swear I didn't know.
00:27:59If my family could afford that to help her, we would.
00:28:03But I know we don't have that kind of money.
00:28:05So my grandma's just going to lose everything and everyone while you guys just watch?
00:28:10I'm sorry.
00:28:11I don't know what to do.
00:28:12Just leave.
00:28:29Wait.
00:28:31Do you know anything about training horses for show jumping?
00:28:34I mean, me and my brother used to ride in competitions when I was younger.
00:28:37So do you?
00:28:39Well, yeah.
00:28:40Come with me.
00:28:50I don't want this to be your last Christmas here, Grandma.
00:28:52Oh, Lizzie, sweetheart, I'm sorry.
00:28:54You can't lose this ranch.
00:28:56Well, what else am I going to do?
00:28:57You have hope.
00:28:59Hope?
00:28:59Yes.
00:29:01I'm too tired, and I don't have the time to train a horse.
00:29:04Well, I'm here now.
00:29:06And?
00:29:07And I'm going to train him for show jumping, and we will win you the money to save the ranch.
00:29:11Oh, sweetheart, you don't know how to train a horse for show jumping.
00:29:16With James and a little help from you, I will.
00:29:19You're serious.
00:29:19You really want to do this.
00:29:21It takes a lot of time and a lot of patience.
00:29:24I know.
00:29:25And I do want to do this.
00:29:26And you know how stubborn I am.
00:29:30Yeah.
00:29:33What have we got to lose?
00:29:35Awesome.
00:29:36Come on.
00:29:37What?
00:29:41Grandma's in.
00:29:44Look at this place.
00:29:45There's no tree.
00:29:46There's no lights.
00:29:47There's no garland.
00:29:48This place looks horrible for Christmas.
00:29:50You need to go home, get as many spare decorations as you can, visit other farms if you have to,
00:29:55and ask them for some, too.
00:29:58Go now.
00:30:00You better do like she says.
00:30:04And hurry up.
00:30:05Hope's training starts now.
00:30:07I'm going to go change my shirt.
00:30:17Okay.
00:30:17The first thing you're going to have Hope do is walk over these poles.
00:30:21Now, he's got to walk over them.
00:30:23He's going to be a little bit hesitant, but that's your job.
00:30:26After that, you will run over it, and he will trot behind you.
00:30:31After a while, he'll actually like to do it.
00:30:32So it's going to work on his confidence, his gait, and his rhythm.
00:30:35It's really important for him to develop that, okay?
00:30:38All right.
00:30:38What else?
00:30:39Over here.
00:30:41What happens here is these two poles get put in the cups on either side.
00:30:45It's called an X.
00:30:47Why don't you hold them for a minute?
00:30:51So one goes in this cup, one in the other cup.
00:30:54Any pony can jump this, but you've got to wait until Hope gets stronger to handle the fences, okay?
00:30:59How long do you think it'll take him to do that?
00:31:01When he's ready, but you can't push him.
00:31:03I don't want him or you to get hurt.
00:31:05I'd never hurt Hope.
00:31:07I know you wouldn't hurt him.
00:31:10You just have to be careful.
00:31:12I know my parents think I'm a total screw-up that doesn't care about anything or anybody, but...
00:31:18I'm in this, Grandma.
00:31:19I'm not going to screw it up.
00:31:20I know I can do this.
00:31:23I believe you can.
00:31:25Ready to get started?
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:26Come on.
00:31:28Come on, boy.
00:31:35Go on, boy.
00:31:37Go on, boy.
00:31:39Go on, boy.
00:31:46Go on, boy.
00:31:48Go on, boy.
00:31:56Go on, boy.
00:31:58Go on, boy.
00:32:00Go on, boy.
00:32:01Go on, boy.
00:32:02Go on, boy.
00:32:03Go on, boy.
00:32:04Go on, boy.
00:32:04Go on, boy.
00:32:23What do you got for us?
00:32:24This is all the stuff my parents aren't using.
00:32:27Your leftovers?
00:32:29Well, it's all still good stuff.
00:32:31Here, let's take a look.
00:32:37What do you think?
00:32:40Good enough, I guess.
00:32:41Go ahead and take it on up to the house and come back out and help me with hope.
00:32:44We'll be back in later, Grandma.
00:32:46Come on.
00:32:49Oh, that girl.
00:32:51Oh, I guess I've got my work cut out for me this afternoon.
00:32:53I haven't put up decorations in a long time.
00:32:55How come?
00:32:56Kind of lost the enthusiasm once Charles died.
00:32:59I mean, you don't have to decorate if you don't want to.
00:33:02No, it's for Lizzie.
00:33:05How come her parents brought it here?
00:33:09She's getting in a little bit of trouble at home.
00:33:11She doesn't seem that bad to me.
00:33:13No.
00:33:14Well, I don't think she is.
00:33:17Why don't you go help her?
00:33:18Want to take this up to the house?
00:33:19Maybe even take a little nap.
00:33:35You worked really hard today.
00:33:38Yeah.
00:33:39It's getting a lot stronger, too.
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:42I think I'm going to have her run the exits tomorrow.
00:33:47When did you find out you were coming here to your grandma's?
00:33:51A couple days ago.
00:33:52Do you like it here?
00:33:54I mean, it, like, must be so different than the city.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:59Do you feel different out here?
00:34:02What do you mean?
00:34:03Out in the country.
00:34:05Like, does it make you feel different?
00:34:06I mean, Mary told me that your parents brought you here because of something bad you did.
00:34:11And?
00:34:13I don't know.
00:34:14You don't seem so bad to me.
00:34:17Why not?
00:34:19I don't know.
00:34:20I guess I just don't believe it.
00:34:22Well, you should.
00:34:24You don't know me, so don't act like you do.
00:34:28What'd you do?
00:34:32I got in trouble with a couple of my friends.
00:34:34It was an accident.
00:34:36It was stupid.
00:34:38We had a couple of drinks, and we all fell asleep.
00:34:41The curtains must have caught on fire because I woke up to flames and screaming.
00:34:46Was anybody hurt?
00:34:48We were all rushed to the hospital because of all the smoke we were breathing in.
00:34:52It was pretty bad.
00:34:55Your parents must have freaked.
00:34:58Yeah.
00:34:59What about your house?
00:35:01It's fine.
00:35:03The firefighters got there in time, so only the living room was ruined.
00:35:08Wow.
00:35:09Yeah.
00:35:11So that's why they brought you here?
00:35:14They're never going to trust me again.
00:35:17But it was just an accident.
00:35:20Yeah, it was, but they're also mad at me for my grades.
00:35:24Oh, are you doing bad in school?
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:27Um, I got suspended.
00:35:32Why?
00:35:33I skipped too much.
00:35:36But my parents didn't notice until the principal called to tell them that I got suspended.
00:35:42I've never even had a detention.
00:35:44Well, good for you.
00:35:46Well, my parents had me on lockdown for a week after I was suspended.
00:35:50That's when the fire happened.
00:35:52So that's why they brought you here?
00:35:55It was stupid.
00:35:56I get that.
00:35:57But I'm not a bad kid.
00:36:02And I hate that they think I am.
00:36:06They're never going to trust me again.
00:36:08They always look so sad when they look at me now.
00:36:12Well, you can't be all that bad.
00:36:14Hope still trusts you.
00:36:31You made this for me?
00:36:34Yeah.
00:36:35It was a gift for you.
00:36:38Your grandma asked me to.
00:36:42Thanks.
00:36:58Wow.
00:36:59What do you think?
00:37:01Looks great.
00:37:02I was hoping to surprise you.
00:37:04I forgot what a chore this was.
00:37:06It was a lot of hard work.
00:37:08It's been a lot of years since I did all this Christmas decorating.
00:37:15I like being here for Christmas.
00:37:17I like having you here for Christmas.
00:37:22Hope's training is going really well.
00:37:24Yeah.
00:37:24I think you're doing a great job with him.
00:37:26Thanks.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:29I think that's about it.
00:37:33Could you help me with this box over here?
00:37:35Sure.
00:37:41This place is starting to look pretty incredible.
00:37:44It is.
00:37:46You know, when your dad was little, Grandpa Charles used to decorate for every holiday,
00:37:50every single room in this ranch.
00:37:52And then he got sick and it became more of a chore, so I kind of stopped.
00:37:58How long has it been since he passed?
00:38:03Actually, it's been eight years.
00:38:05Time flies.
00:38:07Do you think about him a lot?
00:38:09Sometimes I do.
00:38:10Other times, not as much.
00:38:12I tell you, when he died, I sure was mad at God at first.
00:38:17But not anymore?
00:38:19No.
00:38:20I forgave him.
00:38:21Besides, I know I'm going to see Charles again one day.
00:38:24And I've got so much to be grateful for right here.
00:38:31Grandma, I'm not going to be able to give you a present for Christmas this year.
00:38:35That's okay, sweetie.
00:38:37I was in such a bad mood when I left.
00:38:39I didn't think about getting anything for anybody.
00:38:43I tell you what.
00:38:44You get Hope fit and healthy, and that will be the best Christmas present you could give me.
00:38:49Okay?
00:38:50Okay.
00:38:51Bye.
00:39:01Amen.
00:39:05Well, I'm pooped.
00:39:07I couldn't pick up another ornament.
00:39:08Thanks for your help today.
00:39:10Yeah.
00:39:11It was fun.
00:39:13You must be tired, too.
00:39:14I don't know who's working hard or you or Hope.
00:39:17Oh, no.
00:39:17It's so much fun for me.
00:39:19I love him.
00:39:20I love him.
00:39:23So have you heard from your parents lately?
00:39:28Have you called them?
00:39:31No.
00:39:33Why not?
00:39:35I don't see the point.
00:39:37Have they tried to call you?
00:39:40I don't know.
00:39:41I haven't checked my phone because it's been off.
00:39:47What if they're trying to get a hold of you?
00:39:50I don't want to talk to them.
00:39:51Besides, they dumped me here for Christmas anyway, so they don't have to talk to me.
00:39:55That's not true.
00:39:56Then why?
00:39:58Because they were worried about you.
00:40:00Whatever.
00:40:04You know, Lizzie, if you can handle raising a horse, I think you can handle a phone call.
00:40:18Can I go now?
00:40:21No.
00:40:22No.
00:40:24No.
00:40:29No.
00:40:30No.
00:40:30No.
00:40:34Here, boy.
00:40:35I missed you, too.
00:40:39Right.
00:40:41Let's get you out and do some training today.
00:40:55Did you have a good night's sleep, Hope?
00:41:01I'm hoping you at least did.
00:41:03Seems like you did.
00:41:10Grandma's mad at me for me not wanting to call my parents last night.
00:41:14I don't see why I should, and I've got nothing to say to them.
00:41:19Hey, not cool.
00:41:23Did you know your mom and dad, Hope?
00:41:28I bet they were great showjumpers.
00:41:33And I bet Grandma knew them, and she trained them into something great.
00:41:39Yeah.
00:41:43You can trust me, Hope.
00:41:46They're going to be something great, too.
00:41:51All right, here's your carrot.
00:42:06I'll get you over it just like you did.
00:42:12We'll do it, right, just like we did.
00:42:19Yeah, totally great.
00:42:22You're being so much stronger.
00:42:28Yeah!
00:42:32Let's do it one more time! Good boy, Hope!
00:42:52Will you meet me straight ahead?
00:42:55Turn this fear to face instead?
00:42:59I'm on my lead.
00:43:03So please believe for me and I'll believe for you.
00:43:08Cause I need this thing to happen.
00:43:11Need to know it's true.
00:43:18Hope is believing.
00:43:23It was really great today, Hope.
00:43:28And I think when I first got here you could barely walk.
00:43:37You're gonna save grandma's ranch.
00:43:59Hey Mary.
00:44:00Hey James.
00:44:01Brought more Christmas decorations.
00:44:03Careful, thank you.
00:44:04Want me to just sleep in here?
00:44:06That's a good place.
00:44:08What are you making?
00:44:10Christmas chocolate pecan pie.
00:44:11Yum.
00:44:13Is it um...
00:44:15Is it hard to make pies?
00:44:18Not too hard.
00:44:19Oh?
00:44:23Are you gonna ask me where Lizzie is?
00:44:25What? Where?
00:44:26No, I was just bringing more decorations.
00:44:29Just in case you're curious, she may be in the barn.
00:44:33I should have known she'd be with Hope.
00:44:35Mm-hmm.
00:44:37Dinner's at six.
00:44:39Yeah?
00:44:39What are we eating?
00:44:41James, you came here to see Lizzie, right?
00:44:44Go.
00:44:45See her.
00:44:47Don't be late.
00:44:54Hey Lizzie.
00:44:56Shh.
00:44:56Hope's resting.
00:44:58Another hard day of training?
00:44:58Yeah.
00:45:09I could get used to this.
00:45:11You mean the ranch?
00:45:14I've lived on a farm my whole life.
00:45:17Really?
00:45:18Yeah.
00:45:19I want to go to college in the city, but Dad won't let me go.
00:45:22Why not?
00:45:23Well, he wants me to help run the farm.
00:45:27And you don't want to?
00:45:28Not really.
00:45:30But, uh, I don't really have a choice.
00:45:32I'm the only one left at home.
00:45:34Oh, you're an only kid too?
00:45:36No.
00:45:36No.
00:45:37My, uh, older sister Samantha, about two years ago she eloped with some guy from California.
00:45:44And, uh, they ran off together.
00:45:46So she doesn't talk to us anymore.
00:45:48Uh-huh.
00:45:50Then my brother Zach joined the Navy.
00:45:54I want to go visit him.
00:45:56But you can't?
00:45:57No.
00:45:57We don't have that kind of money.
00:46:00So, Dad wants me to help take over the farm.
00:46:07Well, if you could go to school, what would you study?
00:46:13My mom always says that I'd do great at an art school.
00:46:17Really? Art?
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:19She thinks I've got talent, but, uh, I'm not so sure.
00:46:23No, you do have talent.
00:46:25You made me that horse.
00:46:26It was beautiful.
00:46:27Nah, that, that's, that's easy.
00:46:30Besides, that's not real art.
00:46:31I mean, I can't, like, draw or paint that well or anything.
00:46:34Well, I think it's real art.
00:46:37Yeah?
00:46:39You know, I've got, like, probably about a hundred more of those at home.
00:46:42You should really start showing people those.
00:46:45I know they think it's art too.
00:46:47You should definitely look into selling them.
00:46:49You think so?
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:52I'll think about it.
00:46:57I just love this view.
00:47:00Yeah.
00:47:14Hey, I need to see how Hope's doing.
00:47:16I just put him up.
00:47:17I need to see how he is progressing now.
00:47:20But he's resting.
00:47:22Let's go.
00:47:30I know you worked hard.
00:47:32You still got more work to do.
00:47:36I may have to put Hope on the training circuit sooner than I thought.
00:47:40I'm not gonna rush him.
00:47:43Let's get him out.
00:47:49Is everything okay?
00:47:51I don't know.
00:47:53I got a call from the bank.
00:47:55And I just have to see how he's doing.
00:48:03Okay.
00:48:05Yeah, good boy.
00:48:19See how strong he's gotten?
00:48:21Yeah, you're looking great.
00:48:22He's looking great.
00:48:24Yeah, he's not sick at all anymore, are you, boy?
00:48:27I need to see him tackle that fence.
00:48:30I don't wanna rush him.
00:48:31Lizzie, if you want me to keep the ranch, he's gotta be able to handle that.
00:48:34Yeah, don't worry, Lizzie.
00:48:36That's what all this training has been for.
00:48:40Okay, boy.
00:48:43This is it.
00:49:09Good job.
00:49:11Good job.
00:49:12Good job, boy.
00:49:14You did it.
00:49:18Good job.
00:49:20You've done such a great job with him.
00:49:23I couldn't have done better myself.
00:49:25Really?
00:49:27Yeah, seriously.
00:49:35So what happens now?
00:49:37You keep training him.
00:49:39He's not quite ready to compete.
00:49:40And in the meantime, I'm gonna start looking up some show jumping competitions
00:49:44to enter him into at the beginning of the year.
00:49:47He's not too young?
00:49:49No.
00:49:49He's just gonna be competing against other ponies his age.
00:49:52He'll be fine.
00:49:53Good.
00:49:59I wanna stay here till he's done with training.
00:50:02You're on the ranch?
00:50:04Yeah.
00:50:06I would love that.
00:50:08I would love that.
00:50:26Hope you're both hungry.
00:50:27I know I am.
00:50:31Lizzy?
00:50:33There's a woman with a group of people down at the barn.
00:50:53What are you doing here?
00:50:54This is private property.
00:50:56If you'd like to take a step inside, go ahead on in.
00:51:00Mrs. Evans, I don't know if you remember me.
00:51:02I'm Erin Cooper.
00:51:03Yeah, from the bank.
00:51:04Yes.
00:51:05Who are those people?
00:51:06What are you doing here?
00:51:07They're here to see the ranch.
00:51:08What for?
00:51:09We're choosing a realtor to list the property.
00:51:12What?
00:51:12Mrs. Evans, the bank has been more than fair.
00:51:14You haven't made a payment in six months.
00:51:16I had some unexpected expenses, but I'm working on rebuilding right now.
00:51:21I have a show pony.
00:51:22This ranch is the only reason that the bank gave you this loan of this magnitude in the
00:51:26first place.
00:51:27I'm sorry that you're having personal difficulties.
00:51:31Okay, so now what?
00:51:33Now the bank sets out to search for a new owner for the ranch and its surrounding land.
00:51:37You can't do that.
00:51:39This is my ranch.
00:51:40It's my home.
00:51:40Actually, we can.
00:51:41And we are.
00:51:43You signed a note.
00:51:44You're six months delinquent.
00:51:46The bank is merely trying to get back its investment.
00:51:48I'm sorry.
00:51:48It's just business.
00:51:49Business?
00:51:51No, this is my life.
00:51:54You were warned that failure to pay would result in loss of property.
00:51:58I just need a little bit more time to get him into competition and get him trained,
00:52:03and then I will be current on the loan payments.
00:52:06There is no more time.
00:52:07But the show season starts in a month.
00:52:10If you can begin to make payments for the debt that you owe in a matter that will satisfy
00:52:16the bank, you'll get more time to get current on your loan.
00:52:19In what manner would that be?
00:52:22A slight bump to $3,500 a month.
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:27Okay.
00:52:29Your next payment's on the 24th.
00:52:32Of December?
00:52:34That's in a few days.
00:52:36I know.
00:52:37On Christmas Eve?
00:52:39The bank is open till one o'clock.
00:52:42Look, it's simple.
00:52:43Make the payments, or we foreclose.
00:53:02Who are they?
00:53:14It was a banker with a bunch of realtors.
00:53:18What were they doing here?
00:53:21They came to look at the ranch.
00:53:25She wants me to make a payment by Monday.
00:53:31I think it's over.
00:53:34No.
00:53:35You said I had enough time to finish training Hope.
00:53:38I thought I'd have at least a couple more months.
00:53:41They have to give you more time.
00:53:42Hope's almost ready.
00:53:44They don't care about that.
00:53:47They want $3,500 on Christmas Eve.
00:53:52Then just give them the money.
00:53:54Pay them.
00:53:55I don't have that much money.
00:53:58This is stupid.
00:53:59What if there was a horse show between now and then?
00:54:02We could win the money.
00:54:04By Monday.
00:54:07There's no shows until the new year.
00:54:11So what are you gonna do?
00:54:12Just give up and sit back and watch them take the ranch from you?
00:54:15What else can I do?
00:54:17I am not gonna lose this ranch.
00:54:19I refuse to let that happen.
00:54:22Lizzy, please!
00:54:32Go.
00:54:34See if she's okay.
00:55:03Are you alright, Lizzy?
00:55:05Would you just leave me alone?
00:55:08I wish I never came to this place.
00:55:10Hey, it's gonna be okay.
00:55:12Don't say that it's gonna be okay.
00:55:15Nothing's gonna be okay.
00:55:16All this is gonna be gone and it's partly your family's fault.
00:55:19Your pathetic, poor family!
00:55:23No wonder your stupid siblings left.
00:55:30I just wanna leave this place.
00:55:34Please!
00:55:36Would you think about someone else for a change?
00:55:39What?
00:55:40All you care about is yourself.
00:55:42How do you think Mary feels?
00:55:45How do you think I feel?
00:55:46Okay, yeah, I know my family is partly responsible.
00:55:49I can't help that. I wish I could.
00:55:51You don't even realize how mean you're being.
00:55:55We were becoming good friends.
00:55:57You were finally starting to get along with your grandma.
00:56:00And now, because of...
00:56:02Because of your temper, you're ruining everything.
00:56:08I was happy, or...
00:56:11I was bringing hope back to life and saving this ranch, but now...
00:56:17Now what?
00:56:19Now that your plan to redeem yourself is over?
00:56:24What are you gonna do?
00:56:26Your grandma is in there right now.
00:56:30Alone.
00:56:31She's having to deal with this by herself.
00:56:34Because you're in here.
00:56:37Just go be with her.
00:56:41Just go home, James!
00:56:43I never wanna see you again!
00:56:47I'm gone, Lizzie.
00:56:49Go!
00:57:03James?
00:57:04I'm sorry I can't stay for dinner, Mary.
00:57:07Well, how's Lizzie?
00:57:33Lizzie?
00:57:34Are you back there?
00:57:35Are you back there?
00:57:46I'm so sorry.
00:57:48I'm sorry.
00:57:58What's gonna happen to Hope?
00:58:02I don't know.
00:58:06I just...
00:58:07don't know.
00:58:10You're gonna get rid of him, aren't you?
00:58:13You don't understand.
00:58:15It's not that simple.
00:58:18This ranch...
00:58:20and these horses...
00:58:23have been my whole life.
00:58:29And when your grandpa died...
00:58:33I had to make some really hard decisions.
00:58:38but...
00:58:41I don't regret it.
00:58:46I'd still do it all over again.
00:58:48How can you say that?
00:58:49It cost you everything.
00:58:50It cost me...
00:58:52a lot.
00:58:55But I helped some very dear friends save their farms and...
00:59:00it's only money.
00:59:03Yeah, but...
00:59:04you ended up screwing yourself over...
00:59:07and all of your horses, including Hope.
00:59:10No.
00:59:11I took care of my horses.
00:59:15And I'll take care of Hope.
00:59:18If I have to find him a home, I will.
00:59:21You mean sell him?
00:59:25Maybe.
00:59:27But I don't want you to.
00:59:28I don't want anybody else to have him.
00:59:32I don't have too many options left, Lizzie.
00:59:35What else am I supposed to do?
00:59:39I can't lose him.
00:59:44It's not the end of the world.
00:59:46Life goes on.
00:59:49Whatever.
00:59:55I'm going inside now.
00:59:58I don't care where you go.
01:00:01I've got a lot of things to think about.
01:00:03A lot of decisions to be made.
01:00:06You'll come inside when you're ready.
01:00:09You know what I'm doing?
01:00:10No.
01:00:23You're up.
01:00:24I love you.
01:00:26They're not having me.
01:00:26It's not the end of the world.
01:00:30And I'm going inside.
01:00:37I'm going inside the world.
01:00:38everything. Now it's all for sale, whatever you want. Oh, you're helping me out. So this
01:00:47afternoon? That would be great. First come, first serve. Give Bev and Mac a call, too,
01:00:52for me? All right, appreciate it. Thanks. Bye-bye.
01:01:15Bye-bye.
01:01:46Bye-bye.
01:02:33Bye-bye.
01:02:36Grandma! Grandma! Grandma! I know what to do. I know how to save the ranch.
01:02:41I'm already making a- No, Grandma, listen to me. You have to trust me.
01:02:44What is it? Come on, follow me. We don't have any time to lose. What are you doing? I am
01:02:55calling my parents.
01:02:58What for? I don't want you to involve them. We're going to need their help, but this is going to
01:03:03work.
01:03:04If what's going to work? It's ringing. Hey, Mom, it's me. You and Dad get to Grandma's ranch as soon
01:03:10as possible. I'll explain it when you get here. All right, bye. Okay. Let's go downstairs. Bring your phone.
01:03:21Lizzie, just stop. Tell me what is going on in that brain of yours. Call every person that you know
01:03:29and call in every favor that you can.
01:03:30What for? We're going to turn the ranch into a Christmas market.
01:03:33A Christmas market?
01:03:34Yes. Call all the farms that you saved and have them bring vegetables, fruits, food, drinks, crafts, anything and everything.
01:03:43What if they can't?
01:03:44You saved them, Grandma. Now you need their help. They owe you.
01:03:48A Christmas market?
01:03:50Yes. We'll have the tables all set up in the barn with the merchandise. We'll have Christmas music playing and
01:03:55hopefully even be one of the attractions.
01:03:57I don't think something like that will work.
01:03:59Trust me, Grandma. It will.
01:04:01You really believe it.
01:04:02I do. Now get calling. We need as much help as we can get.
01:04:08Everybody.
01:04:09Yes.
01:04:11Okay, I don't need you over my shoulder. Go.
01:04:13Okay.
01:04:28Lizzie.
01:04:29Are you all right?
01:04:30You guys came.
01:04:31We kept trying to call you back, but you didn't pick up and your grandmother's not answering what's going on.
01:04:35Are you okay?
01:04:36I'm sorry. My phone was off.
01:04:37And then out of the blue, you tell us to get here as quickly as you can? You've got us
01:04:41really worried, Lizzie.
01:04:42I'm going to save Grandma's ranch.
01:04:44Save it?
01:04:46Did you guys know Grandma was in a lot of debt?
01:04:51Yeah, well, you shouldn't know that.
01:04:53Well, we need to raise $3,500 or else the bank's going to take the ranch from her.
01:04:59Lizzie, where's your grandmother?
01:05:00She's in the house. Probably making phone calls.
01:05:03All right. I've got to go talk to her.
01:05:07I just need you guys to help me out here.
01:05:09What do you need?
01:05:10I have some more of these tables in the back of the house, so we just need to bring him
01:05:13out here to the barn and set him up.
01:05:14But we need to move fast.
01:05:15Okay. Come on. Let's go.
01:05:21Okay, Charlie. That's great. Thank you.
01:05:25All right. I'll see you tomorrow, then. Bright and early.
01:05:28Okay. Merry Christmas.
01:05:31What's going on, Mom?
01:05:33Are you really in that much trouble?
01:05:36Apparently, I am.
01:05:38A lady from the bank came by and has given me until Christmas Eve to come up with a very
01:05:43inflated loan payment.
01:05:46You should have asked me if you needed help. I don't want you to lose this place.
01:05:49David, you and Susan have enough problems of your own.
01:05:52It wasn't going to burden you with this, too.
01:05:54Besides, all things happen for a reason.
01:05:57There's got to be something we can do.
01:06:00Lizzie's doing something.
01:06:03What'd she do now?
01:06:04Apparently, she's saving the ranch.
01:06:07Mom, she's a 16-year-old girl. How's she going to be able to do that?
01:06:11She's smart. And she's very creative.
01:06:15And so determined.
01:06:17I'm listening to her.
01:06:19Now go. I've got things to do.
01:06:23All right. But what do you need me to do?
01:06:26Go see Lizzie. I'm sure she's got a list for you, too.
01:06:29She's in charge?
01:06:31Yes. She's in charge.
01:06:33She wants to be trusted with this.
01:06:36Do you?
01:06:38Do you trust her?
01:06:42She really cares about this place.
01:06:46Give her a chance to show it.
01:06:55Rhoda.
01:06:56Hi, it's Mary.
01:06:58Listen, something has come up and...
01:07:00Well, I've got a big favor to ask you.
01:07:08I'd really like it if you and Dad would stay for market tomorrow.
01:07:11Lizzie, we have to work.
01:07:14Figures.
01:07:18I'll call into the office and we have to ask your grandma if it's okay.
01:07:21She won't mind.
01:07:25You really think this is going to work?
01:07:27Yeah.
01:07:30It's going to be a beautiful market, Mom.
01:07:33What are we selling?
01:07:35Whatever people bring us.
01:07:36Things should be coming in any minute now.
01:07:38Well, what else do we have to do to set up for tomorrow?
01:07:42I can't think of anything right now, so I think we're good.
01:07:45But I'll let you know if anything comes up.
01:07:48Okay. Sounds great.
01:07:57Oh, my goodness.
01:07:59It's beautiful.
01:08:06Angie.
01:08:07Hi, Mary.
01:08:08Oh, gorgeous. Thank you.
01:08:11You're welcome. Hi, Lizzie.
01:08:12Hey.
01:08:17All of this is from the McDougals.
01:08:19Part of that money from the loan is save their ranch.
01:08:22And it's all a gift.
01:08:25That's amazing.
01:08:26I know.
01:08:27Well, where do we put them?
01:08:28Oh, that's the boss.
01:08:31Hey, Mom, Dad.
01:08:32Can you come help us put some of these over there?
01:08:34We're going to be selling them right tomorrow morning.
01:08:35Are they going to be okay overnight?
01:08:37Yeah, they should be fine.
01:08:39The barn gets really cold at night, so they'll be good.
01:08:42How do you know that?
01:08:45I mean, he stayed there overnight.
01:08:47You let Lizzie sleep in the barn?
01:08:50I may have.
01:08:52How come you wouldn't when I was a kid?
01:08:55He's pretty special.
01:09:02Hey.
01:09:04Hey.
01:09:09Thanks for coming back.
01:09:11Yeah, Mary asked me to.
01:09:13She did?
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:17I'm sorry for yelling at you.
01:09:20You have an anger problem.
01:09:23I might.
01:09:30So, uh, are you guys setting up for market day here?
01:09:33Yeah.
01:09:34Did Mary tell you?
01:09:35Yeah.
01:09:35She asked me to bring some things to sell, too.
01:09:37Oh, can I see?
01:09:41Only if you promise not to start screaming, crying, or, uh, hitting me, okay?
01:09:46Okay.
01:09:47Okay.
01:09:49Sorry, I had to.
01:09:54Wow.
01:09:56You think these are good enough to sell?
01:09:57They're perfect.
01:09:59Are you sure you want to sell them?
01:10:01I want to save this ranch just as much as you do.
01:10:06Oh, do you know anybody who has a Santa costume?
01:10:10Yeah, I think I just might.
01:10:11Awesome.
01:10:12I'll need it tomorrow morning.
01:10:13Can do.
01:10:14All right.
01:10:15Let's start setting these up.
01:10:28And hope here's going to be the center attraction.
01:10:31Do we have enough?
01:10:32Are we going to be able to make enough money?
01:10:34Yeah, I think so.
01:10:36I called in all the favors I could.
01:10:38All we can do now is just wait.
01:10:40I think it looks beautiful, honey.
01:10:42Thanks, Mom.
01:10:43You guys can have my bed tonight if you want.
01:10:46Where are you going to sleep?
01:10:47I'm going to take the sofa.
01:10:49Besides, I've got a lot of stuff to think about, so I probably won't be getting much sleep anyway.
01:10:54You know what?
01:10:56I'm really proud of you.
01:10:59But let's see how tomorrow goes first.
01:11:19Happy market day.
01:11:24What time is it?
01:11:26What is this?
01:11:27Is this a joke?
01:11:29Lizzie, who is this?
01:11:30Oh, I'm James.
01:11:32We haven't officially met yet.
01:11:34Nice to meet you both.
01:11:36Nice to meet you.
01:11:37Pleasure.
01:11:38This is perfect.
01:11:40What's that for?
01:11:41It's for you to wear, Dad.
01:11:43You're kidding, right?
01:11:44No, I'm not.
01:11:46We're going to be taking pictures at market of kids and families with Santa and Hope.
01:11:50It'll be Santa and his pony.
01:11:51I came up with the idea yesterday.
01:11:53I love it.
01:11:54It's a great idea.
01:11:55But Santa doesn't have a pony.
01:11:57Well, ours will.
01:11:59But I'm not fat enough to be Santa.
01:12:03Am I?
01:12:04Close enough.
01:12:06Oh, oh, oh.
01:12:08Oh, Mom, I'm going to need you to be in charge of all the money stuff, okay?
01:12:11I'm going to go downstairs and start helping out Grandma setting up everything.
01:12:14So you guys hurry up and get dressed.
01:12:35This is it.
01:12:38Those people really didn't let you down.
01:12:40They brought a lot of good stuff.
01:12:41I am surrounded by really good people.
01:12:44I feel really blessed.
01:12:50Now I just have to see who's going to show up.
01:12:53Oh, they'll come.
01:12:55You sure?
01:12:56Absolutely.
01:13:04For what?
01:13:06For what?
