00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,981
Mom, you have always encouraged me,
178
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:06,068
all of us, to seize opportunities
when they present themselves.
179
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:08,945
It would be a shame
to let this massive one,
180
00:08:08,946 --> 00:08:11,115
which is so perfect for you, go by.
181
00:08:12,658 --> 00:08:14,785
I raised you to have faith.
182
00:08:15,536 --> 00:08:17,830
Know that we have faith in you.
183
00:08:18,706 --> 00:08:20,832
So you need to have faith in us
184
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:24,085
and our ability
to take care of each other,
185
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:26,005
whatever city people are in.
186
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:30,675
You helped Beatriz realize
that hiding your talents is a waste.
187
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:33,053
That talents are meant to be used,
188
00:08:33,054 --> 00:08:35,847
not just for yourself, but for others.
189
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:39,769
And you've demonstrated that over and over
for family and friends.
190
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,104
Why not do that for yourself now?
191
00:08:45,274 --> 00:08:47,275
You're my inspiration, Mommy.
192
00:08:47,276 --> 00:08:49,987
When I'm an adult,
I wanna have great adventures,
193
00:08:50,571 --> 00:08:52,822
whether I work in New York with publishers
194
00:08:52,823 --> 00:08:55,408
or go on paleontology digs in Argentina.
195
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:58,119
- [chuckles]
- And I know I'll be able to be brave.
196
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,996
'Cause you've always been brave.
197
00:08:59,997 --> 00:09:03,250
Like when Daddy left,
or you started the recall,
198
00:09:03,251 --> 00:09:04,543
or this new job.
199
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:06,127
So what do you say?
200
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:07,796
Well, I'm very worried.
201
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:11,091
No, this was supposed
to make you feel better.
202
00:09:11,092 --> 00:09:14,553
But it was such
an effective marketing presentation.
203
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:17,847
I'm thinking... you all should get the job.
204
00:09:17,848 --> 00:09:20,225
- [Paula] Oh! [laughing]
- [Kyle exhales]
205
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:21,727
Had me going there, Mom.
206
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:25,022
Thank you... so much
207
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:28,693
for the thought and love
that you put into this.
208
00:09:35,157 --> 00:09:36,492
I guess I'll accept.
209
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:38,953
- Oh!

Merry Christmas, Annie!
215
00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:58,722
You have five minutes to hug him,
kiss him, and tell him how great he looks,
216
00:09:58,723 --> 00:10:01,767
and then I have to take him to his mother.
I will be in the truck.
217
00:10:02,351 --> 00:10:04,061
[Annie] Thanks, Olivia.
218
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:05,562
Welcome home.

00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:06,856
Thank you. [laughs]
220

Uh, you came here before you went home?
221
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:13,820
That is such a compliment,
222
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:15,989
but you aren't supposed to be here
until tomorrow.
223
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,699
- I can leave.
- No.
224
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:20,619
Liv and I decided it was worth driving
through the night to get home early
225
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:21,995
and surprise everyone.
226
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:26,291
Oh, I'm surprised and excited and happy
and can't wait to hear all about it.
227
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:27,709
I've been texting.
228
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:30,337
I still want to hear it all,
day by day, from you.
229
00:10:30,338 --> 00:10:34,090
And I have a bunch of stuff to tell you.
Big stuff, great stuff.
230
00:10:34,091 --> 00:10:35,342
Me too.
231
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:36,885
But you've gotta go.
232
00:10:36,886 --> 00:10:39,262
- What? No. No, I just got here.
- Olivia's waiting.
233
00:10:39,263 --> 00:10:41,264
And you wanna get home
to surprise your mom
234
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:43,516
before someone sees you and spoils it all.
235
00:10:43,517 --> 00:10:45,268
This is Serenity, after all.
236
00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:48,396
Besides, now that you're home,
we have nothing but time.

[gentle music playing]
238

[music fades]
244
00:11:10,711 --> 00:11:14,215
This is amazing.
The first steps to our mobile clinic.
245
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:17,509
[Howie] And thank you again
for believing in this project,
246
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:20,804
as our friends, and as the Foundation.
247
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:23,181
- You'll do the Foundation proud.
- [Maddie] Mm-hmm.
248
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:25,643
I need to go one step further.
249
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,646
Thanks to all four of you
for helping me become the woman
250
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:32,399
I dreamed of being
when I first arrived in Serenity.
251
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,234
[Maddie] We are so happy for you, Noreen.
252
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:35,694
And for you, Howie.
253
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,279
[chuckles] Much appreciated.
254
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,825
And don't you worry, I will find someone
to fill the spa schedule,
255
00:11:41,826 --> 00:11:44,327
especially since Carla might be
going back to the library,
256
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:47,497
since y'all are doing such a great job
getting that up and going.
257
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:50,083
[laughs] Yeah.
Well, we'd welcome your input.
258
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:53,128
We're just happy that you're still
gonna be with us part-time.
259
00:11:53,129 --> 00:11:54,087
[Noreen laughs]
260
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:56,172
Thanks again. Talk to you soon.
261
00:11:56,173 --> 00:11:57,091
- Bye.
- Bye.
262
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,635
We have such a gift for recognizing
and nurturing talent.
263
00:12:00,636 --> 00:12:03,431
- We're gonna wind up short-staffed.
- [Helen laughing]
264
00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:07,560
Especially because
I've been offered a job.
265
00:12:08,269 --> 00:12:09,102
What?
266
00:12:09,103 --> 00:12:10,979
At a publishing house.
267
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,440
- What?
- What?
268
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:14,775
In Manhattan.
269
00:12:15,985 --> 00:12:17,194
[Helen exhales]
270
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:21,782
Manhattan, South Carolina?

[gentle music playing]
272
00:12:24,285 --> 00:12:26,327
There's no Manhattan in South Carolina.
273
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:28,164
I know. I was just hoping.
274
00:12:30,291 --> 00:12:34,044
[hesitating] How long
are you gonna be gone?
275
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:36,630
It's hard to say.
276
00:12:38,591 --> 00:12:41,760
[hesitates] Will the whole family go
with you?
277
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:43,846
Um, I don't know.
278
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:48,850
The details of moving have been, um,
a little overwhelming,
279
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:51,479
and I... I wanted to talk to both of you
280
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:55,274
in person about the spa and everything.
281
00:12:57,067 --> 00:12:58,985
I probably shouldn't take it.
[chuckles softly]
282
00:12:58,986 --> 00:13:01,488
It was just... It was nice to be asked.
283
00:13:01,489 --> 00:13:02,782
No. No, no, no.
284
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:04,824
You should take it.
285
00:13:04,825 --> 00:13:07,077
Uh, what will you be doing for 'em?
286
00:13:07,661 --> 00:13:08,788
Marketing.
287
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:10,914
Back to your degree?
288
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:12,750
- Yeah.
- [Dana Sue] Perfect.
289
00:13:14,043 --> 00:13:14,877
Um,
290
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:17,962
I'm no longer at town hall,
291
00:13:17,963 --> 00:13:21,424
so I... I can cover here
while we... we figure out a replacement.
292
00:13:21,425 --> 00:13:23,843
No, no. No, I'll... I'll cover.
293
00:13:23,844 --> 00:13:27,555
Ronnie and I have been talking about ways
to make everyone's dreams work.
294
00:13:27,556 --> 00:13:29,683
I'm not limiting that to just my family.
295
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:32,519
The dreams of the people you love
should be
296
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,355
as important as your own dreams.
297
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:39,109
But you be prepared to spend
half your day on the phone with your job
298
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:41,444
and the other half on the phone with us.
299
00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:42,445
[Dana Sue laughs]
300
00:13:42,446 --> 00:13:45,573
Because we're going to need to know
every tiny detail
301
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:47,575
of every... [inhales]
302
00:13:47,576 --> 00:13:49,203
...of every big thing that happens.
303
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:53,998
[whispers] We're gonna miss you
something fierce.
304
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:55,042

00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,005

[footsteps approaching]
308
00:14:08,305 --> 00:14:09,598
Oh, hi, baby girl.
309
00:14:12,434 --> 00:14:13,852
Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't. Don't.
310
00:14:13,853 --> 00:14:16,855
If you sit across from me,
you block my view of the kitchen.
311
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,232
[jazz music playing]
312
00:14:20,442 --> 00:14:24,612
And here I thought
that you wanted to see the new decor
313
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:26,407
and sample the new menu.
314
00:14:27,241 --> 00:14:28,200
[Bev clears throat]
315
00:14:28,909 --> 00:14:33,413
It is my responsibility as your mother
to get a sense of this man.
316
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:38,878
Mama, I assure you that
I have checked Erik out pretty thoroughly.
317
00:14:39,962 --> 00:14:40,880
[Bev laughs]
318
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:45,174
I don't care if you had him vetted
by the NSA.
319
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:46,092
[Helen chuckles]
320
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:49,889
A mother must be vigilant when it comes to
the happiness of her child.
321
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:53,766
And such vigilance
can only be construed as meddling
322
00:14:53,767 --> 00:14:56,352
if it turns out that that mother is wrong.
323
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:58,856
- But when was the last time that happened?
- Mmm.
324
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:02,568
I don't think town records
go back that far.
325
00:15:03,485 --> 00:15:04,945
[Bev laughing]
326
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:13,494
Mmm! His scores just keep climbing.
327
00:15:13,495 --> 00:15:15,289
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.
- Mama!
328
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:18,791
[both laughing]
329
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:20,043
[jazz music ends]
330
00:15:20,044 --> 00:15:22,587
Iris, I am so sorry.
331
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:24,923
I thought we had eggs in the fridge.
332
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,842
I hope
that the cookie dough won't-- [gasps]
333
00:15:27,843 --> 00:15:28,843
Hi, Mom!
334
00:15:28,844 --> 00:15:30,887
[Maddie exclaiming]
335
00:15:30,888 --> 00:15:32,306
[Paula laughing]
336
00:15:33,557 --> 00:15:35,351
[Cal] Good thing we do have eggs.
337
00:15:35,893 --> 00:15:38,102
I don't suppose we can make
Ty clean this up?
338
00:15:38,103 --> 00:15:40,772
Oh! I am so glad you're home.
339
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:43,358
I am so happy to be back.
340
00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:45,401
[Katie] Okay, now that that's done...
341
00:15:45,402 --> 00:15:47,695
Katie, give them a moment.
342
00:15:47,696 --> 00:15:50,741
We've been waiting for you to finish
the Christmas village.
343
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:52,660
[Ty] Hmm.
344
00:15:53,327 --> 00:15:55,495
- Where's a good place?
- [Katie] Where it was last year.
345
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:57,997
It's okay if Ty changes things, remember?
346
00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:01,209
It was in a good spot last year,
right in the heart of the village.
347
00:16:01,210 --> 00:16:03,629
Katie, your hot cocoa's ready.
348
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:09,634
I am so proud of you.
349
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:11,636
Your first tour.
350
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,430
Bonus points
for coming home healthy and happy.
351
00:16:14,431 --> 00:16:16,182
You are happy, aren't you?
352
00:16:16,183 --> 00:16:19,268
Oh, so happy, and I have lots and lots
to tell you, all of you,
353
00:16:19,269 --> 00:16:22,397
but I don't wanna start off
on the wrong foot with Princess Katie
354
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:23,899
and not get my house set up.
355
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:28,236
She didn't leave as much room in
the heart of town as she thinks she did.
356
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:29,612
Things change.
357
00:16:29,613 --> 00:16:31,155
Stories change.
358
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,741
People have kept moving here too
while you were on the road.
359
00:16:33,742 --> 00:16:37,745
That's something you have to get used to
if... touring's what you wanna do.
360
00:16:37,746 --> 00:16:38,956
It is.
361
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:40,915
- It really is.
- Yeah?
362
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:44,961
And... this doesn't sound completely real,
363
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:50,508
but... we got an awesome offer
from a band we played with in Nashville.
364
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:53,469
They want us to tour with them.
Open for them.
365
00:16:53,470 --> 00:16:55,221
How thrilling!
366
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:56,932
In Europe.
367
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:03,312
[exhales] I was, uh, I was expecting
you were gonna say New York.
368
00:17:03,313 --> 00:17:04,564
Why?
369
00:17:04,565 --> 00:17:06,775
Because I might have a job there.
370
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:11,571
- Go, Mom! Tell me!
- After dinner.
371
00:17:11,572 --> 00:17:13,406
But what I wanna tell you
right this second is
372
00:17:13,407 --> 00:17:15,658
it's fine that our stories are changing
373
00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:19,413
because all that matters is
the people that love us, support us.
374
00:17:19,913 --> 00:17:21,665
Everything else, details.
375
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:24,084
[music ends]
376
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:29,088
Isn't peace on earth and goodwill to all
a little vague?
377
00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:31,258
[laughs] I already made a link.
378
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:35,011
That my mother, Miss Paula,
Miss Iris, and Miss Grace
379
00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:39,515
all being out on the town together
does not end with a call for bail money.
380
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:40,559
[Dana Sue, Maddie laugh]
381
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:42,018
- Ooh!
- [Maddie] Yes!
382
00:17:42,019 --> 00:17:43,062
Look at these.
383
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,647
- Pour it out.
- [Helen] Pour it out.
384
00:17:46,607 --> 00:17:48,399
- [Maddie laughs]
- Beautiful.
385
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,568
Cheers.
386
00:17:50,569 --> 00:17:51,612
[Dana Sue laughs]
387
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:55,198
And I made a link
388
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:58,576
wishing your teaching kitchen
comes to a quick fruition,
389
00:17:58,577 --> 00:18:02,121
and one wishing Maddie
an excellent deal package
390
00:18:02,122 --> 00:18:03,998
from her new job in New York.
391
00:18:03,999 --> 00:18:06,375
Careful what you wish for others.
392
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:08,836
They just sent the deal memo over
a couple hours ago.
393
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:10,046
That's fantastic.
394
00:18:10,047 --> 00:18:11,506
I wouldn't go that far.
395
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:15,052
It's not quite the dazzling offer
I'd allowed myself to imagine.
396
00:18:15,803 --> 00:18:18,763
So I'm not sure it's worth the upheaval.
397
00:18:18,764 --> 00:18:20,848
[Helen] How have we been friends
all these years,
398
00:18:20,849 --> 00:18:24,978
and you are yet to learn
the power of a strong counteroffer? Hmm?
399
00:18:25,854 --> 00:18:29,774
Hmm. May I see that proposed deal memo?
Come on.
400
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:32,276
No, I do not want business
to get in the way of
401
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:34,278
our tree-decorating margarita night.
402
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,241
- Oh dear. Is the offer that bad?
- Give it to me.
403
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:45,249
You need to know your worth, dear heart,
and make sure that these people do too.
404
00:18:45,749 --> 00:18:47,583
So begin however you'd begin.
405
00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:48,919
[footsteps approaching]
406
00:18:51,004 --> 00:18:53,548
Not "thank you very much."
Just "thank you."
407
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:54,674
You don't wanna sound happy
408
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:56,968
when you tell them
they're not offering enough money.
409
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,845
But they're a small publisher.
410
00:18:58,846 --> 00:19:01,556
[Helen] They're offering you 20% less
than they can afford,
411
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:03,349
knowing that we're gonna counter at 40,
412
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:05,977
so when they give you the 20,
they can feel like they've won.
413
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,812
Plus, New York's expensive.
414
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:10,732
Yeah. Look, know your worth.
415
00:19:11,775 --> 00:19:15,486
We will also request
one long weekend per quarter
416
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:19,949
to accommodate visiting best friends
for Manhattan margarita nights.
417
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:21,242
Wouldn't that be great?
418
00:19:21,243 --> 00:19:22,410
- Epic.
- [Helen laughs]
419
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,913
Now, read what I actually wrote.
420
00:19:26,665 --> 00:19:29,959
It's such a delicious feeling,
claiming what you deserve.
421
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,211
Yeah, and you know why it's delicious?
422
00:19:32,212 --> 00:19:34,630
Because we don't do it often enough.
423
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,383
This is wonderful, Helen.
424
00:19:37,551 --> 00:19:38,427
Hit send.
425
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:40,554
[phone whooshes]
426
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:44,098
So am I going about
the teaching kitchen the wrong way?
427
00:19:44,099 --> 00:19:47,810
I've been trying to find a corner
to tuck it into,
428
00:19:47,811 --> 00:19:49,562
tuck myself into.
429
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:53,858
Maybe I should plant myself in town square
and make sure everyone understands
430
00:19:53,859 --> 00:19:57,403
the value that...
that this could bring to Serenity.
431
00:19:57,404 --> 00:19:58,321
Do it.
432
00:19:58,322 --> 00:20:01,574
We could even create
a Magnolia Community Foundation building
433
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:03,910
with the teaching kitchen as part of it.
434
00:20:03,911 --> 00:20:05,495
Ronnie's talked to...
435
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:11,375
Uh, Ronnie's talked to Alexander about
436
00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:15,047
coming back to town... to help.
437
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:19,967

441
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:25,514
Yeah.
442
00:20:25,515 --> 00:20:27,975
...how... how gracious it is...
443
00:20:27,976 --> 00:20:28,893
[Dana Sue] Mm-hmm.
444
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:32,772
...that you are worried about saying
Alexander's name in front of me?

[laughs] Did you miss the full-page ad
446
00:20:36,026 --> 00:20:39,654

447

Oh, that's a great idea.
448
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:44,533
I still don't know
what I'm getting Cal for Christmas.
449
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:45,661
I want all of us,
450
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:48,037
and our darling men,
451
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:51,415
to... promise to go into this Christmas
like children.
452
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:53,918
Hearts and... and eyes wide open.
453
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,379
- Believing that anything is possible.
- [Maddie] Mm-hmm.
454
00:20:56,380 --> 00:21:00,591
That we deserve
every good thing that we wish for.
455
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:05,638
No more... no more leaning away
from towering expectations
456
00:21:05,639 --> 00:21:08,183
because we're afraid of heights.
457
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:11,895
Here's to believing
great things are possible
458
00:21:12,479 --> 00:21:14,480
because we believe in each other.
459
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:15,399
Yeah.

You made this?

With a little coaching from Dad.
465
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:36,211

Really beautiful. Thank you.

[Annie] Ty,

00:22:04,114 --> 00:22:05,448
it's beautiful.
473
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:08,617
We were wandering around Knoxville
and I walked into this antique shop,
474
00:22:08,618 --> 00:22:11,203
and the guy there said
this was a really good camera for film
475
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:12,706
because, you know, I don't--
476
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:17,753
It's incredible.
477
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:22,549
And what's even more incredible is
how much you support me and my art.
478
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:25,593
Just like you do with me and my music.
479
00:22:25,594 --> 00:22:27,846
[exhales] Which is why
480
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:31,099
I... am so excited to tell you
481
00:22:32,851 --> 00:22:36,313
I got accepted into
Monterey Institute for the Arts.
482
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:37,646
Oh.
483
00:22:37,647 --> 00:22:40,983
The huge art school I never thought
in a million years would accept me.
484
00:22:40,984 --> 00:22:45,196
And even though it's way more expensive
than anywhere else I looked at,
485
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,156
my parents are helping me
figure out a way to go.
486
00:22:47,157 --> 00:22:49,117
So I won't be home as often,
487
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:51,827
but maybe you can come to California.
488
00:22:51,828 --> 00:22:54,163
Maybe you and the band
can do gigs in California.
489
00:22:54,164 --> 00:22:55,749
Wouldn't that be awesome?
490
00:22:56,666 --> 00:22:58,751
I'm sorry. I know it's a lot,

and it's been building up.

881
00:43:34,403 --> 00:43:36,404
[Maddie] If we're not interrupting,
882
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:39,073
Katie has something
she'd like to give to Bex.
883
00:43:39,074 --> 00:43:40,408
How sweet.
884
00:43:40,409 --> 00:43:44,747
Miss Kathy brought this
when she came for Daddy's funeral.
885
00:43:45,289 --> 00:43:47,958
It's a Christmas present
he bought for Bex.

[gentle music playing]
887
00:43:53,547 --> 00:43:54,631
I was hoping!
888
00:43:54,632 --> 00:43:55,548
Yeah!
889
00:43:55,549 --> 00:43:59,928
Now all the boys have pocket knives,
and us girls have charm bracelets.
890
00:44:00,971 --> 00:44:02,180
Thank you, Katie.
891
00:44:02,181 --> 00:44:03,140
Thank you.
892
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:04,600
It was Bill.
893
00:44:05,809 --> 00:44:08,645
- May I take Bex to get a cookie?
- Oh!
894
00:44:08,646 --> 00:44:10,356
That'd be sweet of you, Katie.
895
00:44:11,023 --> 00:44:12,106
Cookie time.
896
00:44:12,107 --> 00:44:13,359
{\an8}There you go, Bex.
897
00:44:15,903 --> 00:44:17,196
What a beautiful family.
898
00:44:18,197 --> 00:44:19,156
Thanks.
899
00:44:20,157 --> 00:44:21,325

"Wishing Noreen and Bex
will move in with me. In love."
901
00:44:33,379 --> 00:44:36,006
- Yeah, yes.
- Yeah? [laughing]
902
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,424
Oh, there you go.
903
00:44:38,425 --> 00:44:39,801
[dramatic music playing]
904
00:44:39,802 --> 00:44:41,177
Go outside.
905
00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:42,096
Ty.
906
00:44:44,431 --> 00:44:45,724

908
00:44:50,979 --> 00:44:55,109
I don't think of Christmas
and champagne together... but I approve.
909
00:44:58,070 --> 00:45:00,239
It's not really about Christmas.
910
00:45:00,948 --> 00:45:03,199
I'm gonna tell you something,
as my friend.
911
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,743
My close, trusted friend.
912
00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:07,079
Don't react.
913
00:45:07,830 --> 00:45:09,456
Mm-mm. Even that much.
914
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:12,334
Helen and I are engaged.
915
00:45:14,628 --> 00:45:16,921
She wants to tell Maddie
and Dana Sue first.
916
00:45:16,922 --> 00:45:18,966
Now we're just prepping
for the celebration.
917
00:45:19,466 --> 00:45:24,637
I owe you a hug and a shout
something along the lines of "hot damn."
918
00:45:24,638 --> 00:45:25,555
[Erik laughs]
919
00:45:25,556 --> 00:45:27,682
All right.
Everyone is being far too polite.
920
00:45:27,683 --> 00:45:28,599
Eat. Drink.
921
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:29,767
Ho, ho, ho.
922
00:45:29,768 --> 00:45:32,646
Let's go in the café.
Let's go, go, go. [laughs]
923

Hey, sweet girl. Come on. Come on.
924

Hey. Hey. Uh-uh, uh-uh.
925

- Not you two. You wait right there.
- Oh.
926
00:45:39,820 --> 00:45:40,738
[Maddie] Oh.
927
00:45:42,322 --> 00:45:43,364
[Dana Sue] What?
928
00:45:43,365 --> 00:45:45,075
[Maddie laughs]
929
00:45:47,411 --> 00:45:48,912
Is everything okay with Annie?
930
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:53,624
Having all those "my last Christmas
before I leave home" emotions.
931
00:45:53,625 --> 00:45:54,751
She'll be fine.
932
00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,044
She just needs to focus
on what a great time
933
00:45:57,045 --> 00:45:58,171
she's gonna have at school.
934
00:45:58,172 --> 00:45:59,088
[Maddie] Mmm.
935
00:45:59,089 --> 00:46:03,302

start arriving, a toast.

- Is that the star, or is it a diamond?
940
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:16,106
Tell us every last little thing.
941
00:46:17,816 --> 00:46:18,900
I said, "Yes."
942
00:46:18,901 --> 00:46:21,027
And?
943
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:22,487
Is there a date?
944
00:46:22,488 --> 00:46:23,906
Well, no, not yet.

00:46:24,948 --> 00:46:26,408
This happened fast.
946

We'll take the rest of it slowly.
947
00:46:28,911 --> 00:46:32,955
And we'll make sure that you can
come down from New York, of course.
948
00:46:32,956 --> 00:46:34,957
They accepted the counter?
949
00:46:34,958 --> 00:46:38,920
Well, I got the email last night.
I was waiting. How did you know?
950
00:46:38,921 --> 00:46:40,880
They would be stupid not to.
951
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:42,049
You gonna accept?
952
00:46:42,883 --> 00:46:44,926
I think I'd be stupid not to.

this... the three of us,

00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:20,170
will always be strength,

00:47:21,296 --> 00:47:22,506
will always be love,

[Helen] Mmm.

And I never thought I'd say this,
but forget margaritas.
974
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:43,776
We need champagne.

That can be arranged.
