Okay. There you go.

There's a bench right over there
you can put them on.

16
00:01:14,554 --> 00:01:16,723
Please, let me know
if you need any help.

17
00:01:16,806 --> 00:01:18,099
Have fun.

18
00:01:21,561 --> 00:01:23,354
Yeah...

19
00:01:29,652 --> 00:01:31,070
Can you get up?

20
00:01:33,197 --> 00:01:34,073
Can you wait just
one minute?

21
00:01:34,198 --> 00:01:35,491
I'll be right back.

22
00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:45,960
Oh, May I?

23
00:01:46,044 --> 00:01:48,671
It's okay. I used
to fall down a lot!

24
00:01:48,755 --> 00:01:49,881
Let me help you up.

25
00:01:50,006 --> 00:01:51,466
Ooh, got it.

26
00:01:51,549 --> 00:01:52,508
What's your name?

27
00:01:52,592 --> 00:01:53,926
Grace.

28
00:01:54,052 --> 00:01:55,845
Grace, I'm Courtney
it's nice to meet you.

29
00:01:55,970 --> 00:01:57,472
You're doing great.

30
00:01:57,555 --> 00:01:59,223
Have you ever
skated before?

31
00:01:59,349 --> 00:02:02,060
A couple times.

32
00:02:02,143 --> 00:02:04,729
I learned to skate right
here on this rink

33
00:02:04,854 --> 00:02:06,314
(giggles)

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,233
Hey, you're doing great.

35
00:02:09,359 --> 00:02:13,696
Now just push to
the side and glide.

36
00:02:13,821 --> 00:02:16,532
That's it.
That's it.

37
00:02:16,658 --> 00:02:17,825
Awesome.

38
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:19,827
Now I'm going to let you
do it on your own, okay?

39
00:02:19,911 --> 00:02:23,665
Okay.

40
00:02:23,748 --> 00:02:26,918
You're doing it!

41
00:02:27,043 --> 00:02:28,294
My Ompa works in there.

42
00:02:28,378 --> 00:02:30,004
Oh, wow, he works for the city?

43
00:02:30,129 --> 00:02:31,422
Uh‐huh.

44
00:02:31,506 --> 00:02:32,548
Nice.

45
00:02:32,674 --> 00:02:35,218
‐Whoa!
‐Oh, whoops. I got you.

46
00:02:35,343 --> 00:02:37,887
Now you try.

47
00:02:38,012 --> 00:02:40,682
‐Thank you.
‐Of course.

48
00:02:40,765 --> 00:02:43,184
We have class on Tuesday
and Thursday afternoon

49
00:02:43,309 --> 00:02:44,811
for kids her age
if she'd like to join.

50
00:02:44,894 --> 00:02:47,897
And we do a show at
the Christmas Carnival.

51
00:02:48,022 --> 00:02:50,149
‐Merry Christmas!
‐Merry Christmas!

52
00:03:08,876 --> 00:03:10,086
See you tomorrow, Trevor.

53
00:03:10,211 --> 00:03:11,838
You betcha.
Have a great night.

54
00:03:11,921 --> 00:03:13,005
You, too.

55
00:03:13,089 --> 00:03:14,674
(phone vibrates)

56
00:03:18,886 --> 00:03:21,848
Hello?

57
00:03:21,973 --> 00:03:24,183
Oh, hi, Mr. Greenwood.

58
00:03:24,267 --> 00:03:28,020
Sure, tomorrow at 9:00AM,
no problem.

59
00:03:28,146 --> 00:03:29,856
Okay, see you then.
Bye.

60
00:03:34,944 --> 00:03:36,988
Hey, Trev.

61
00:03:37,113 --> 00:03:38,948
Can you cover for me
tomorrow morning?

62
00:03:39,031 --> 00:03:40,450
I have an early meeting.

63
00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:45,246
Only if you introduce me
to your roommate.

64
00:03:45,371 --> 00:03:46,539
Seriously?

65
00:03:46,622 --> 00:03:49,500
I wasn't scheduled
to come in until noon.

66
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:52,128
Okay, fine.

67
00:03:52,211 --> 00:03:53,504
But I already told you.
You're not her type.

68
00:03:53,629 --> 00:03:56,132
How would she know
if she hasn't met me?

69
00:03:56,215 --> 00:03:57,508
You're impossible.

70
00:03:57,633 --> 00:04:00,303
Not impossible,
just persistent.

71
00:04:08,019 --> 00:04:09,520
(whistling)

72
00:04:21,866 --> 00:04:23,242
Hey!

73
00:04:23,367 --> 00:04:26,412
‐Hey, it's Sheila Sugarplum.
‐In the flesh.

74
00:04:26,496 --> 00:04:28,164
That costume is so cute.

75
00:04:28,247 --> 00:04:30,917
Thanks.
Whatcha making?

76
00:04:31,042 --> 00:04:32,710
Mmm, mm‐hmm.

77
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:36,923
So, I got a weird call from
your boss just as I was leaving.

78
00:04:37,006 --> 00:04:38,049
Which one?

79
00:04:38,174 --> 00:04:39,509
Santa or the Mayor?

80
00:04:39,550 --> 00:04:41,302
I wish it was Santa.

81
00:04:41,385 --> 00:04:43,346
Mmm. I was afraid of that.

82
00:04:43,429 --> 00:04:44,764
Do you know what it's about?

83
00:04:44,889 --> 00:04:47,475
I know he was in a
long budget meeting

84
00:04:47,558 --> 00:04:49,352
with the city council today.

85
00:04:49,435 --> 00:04:51,604
I only hear from him
when it's bad news,

86
00:04:51,729 --> 00:04:53,397
so I thought I'd make
him some cupcakes.

87
00:04:55,024 --> 00:04:58,152
Buttering up the mayor
is always a good idea.

88
00:04:58,236 --> 00:05:01,072
Sorry, though.
I wish I knew more.

89
00:05:01,155 --> 00:05:04,492
Okay, well, I shouldn't
be too late.

90
00:05:07,370 --> 00:05:09,831
Hey, don't worry.

91
00:05:09,914 --> 00:05:10,957
It's gonna be okay.

92
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,208
Are you sure?

93
00:05:12,333 --> 00:05:16,629
Yeah, it's Christmas!

94
00:05:19,715 --> 00:05:21,634
Oh, by the way,
Trevor wants to meet you.

95
00:05:21,717 --> 00:05:22,802
Who?

96
00:05:22,885 --> 00:05:24,846
Trevor. The Zamboni
driver at the rink.

97
00:05:24,971 --> 00:05:26,180
Oh, why?

98
00:05:26,264 --> 00:05:27,515
Why not?

99
00:05:27,598 --> 00:05:30,059
Mmm‐mm. No.
He's not my type.

100
00:05:30,142 --> 00:05:32,895
Well, how do you know
if you haven't met him yet?

101
00:05:32,979 --> 00:05:34,480
Oh, I know.

102
00:05:34,605 --> 00:05:37,358
Please?
I owe him one.

103
00:05:41,028 --> 00:05:42,613
Fine.

104
00:05:42,697 --> 00:05:44,156
Good.

105
00:05:44,282 --> 00:05:45,741
I hope you don't have
too many criers.

106
00:05:45,867 --> 00:05:47,410
Yeah, me too.

107
00:05:47,535 --> 00:05:49,537
You know, you should
publish a book

108
00:05:49,662 --> 00:05:52,331
of crying babies with
Santa pictures.

109
00:05:52,456 --> 00:05:54,208
You might be on to something.

110
00:05:54,333 --> 00:05:56,168
That could really sell!

111
00:05:56,294 --> 00:05:57,837
All right, see you later.

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,505
Bye.

113
00:06:00,548 --> 00:06:01,841
(phone vibrates)

114
00:06:04,719 --> 00:06:06,387
Hey, Mom.

115
00:06:06,470 --> 00:06:08,180
<i>Hello, sweetheart,</i>
<i>how are you?</i>

116
00:06:08,264 --> 00:06:09,640
I'm good.
How's Santa Barbara?

117
00:06:09,724 --> 00:06:11,684
<i>Oh, it's just</i>
<i>lovely out here.</i>

118
00:06:11,767 --> 00:06:13,477
<i>Sunny and in</i>
<i>the 70s today.</i>

119
00:06:13,561 --> 00:06:15,354
What I want to know is,
how do you get in

120
00:06:15,479 --> 00:06:16,939
the Christmas spirit
on the beach?

121
00:06:17,023 --> 00:06:19,567
<i>You know how your father</i>
<i>and I hate the cold.</i>

122
00:06:19,692 --> 00:06:21,319
Cold?

123
00:06:21,402 --> 00:06:22,945
Are you serious?

124
00:06:23,029 --> 00:06:24,822
How many days did you and Dad
spend with me at the rink

125
00:06:24,947 --> 00:06:26,365
when I was little?

126
00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:29,702
<i>Oh, I know.</i>
<i>We miss you, honey.</i>

127
00:06:29,785 --> 00:06:31,078
<i>Is there any chance</i>
<i>you could come out here</i>

128
00:06:31,203 --> 00:06:33,331
<i>for the holidays this year?</i>

129
00:06:33,372 --> 00:06:36,751
It's my busiest time of year.

130
00:06:36,876 --> 00:06:38,794
I'll try to get out
there after New Years.

131
00:06:38,878 --> 00:06:40,671
<i>Well, we love you,</i>
<i>sweetheart.</i>

132
00:06:40,796 --> 00:06:43,174
<i>Whenever you can come,</i>
<i>we'd love to see you.</i>

133
00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:44,383
I love you too, Mom.

134
00:06:44,508 --> 00:06:46,344
<i>Okay, bye, sweetheart.</i>

135
00:06:46,385 --> 00:06:47,595
Bye.

136
00:06:59,565 --> 00:07:01,359
[whispers]
I don't have all day.

137
00:07:01,484 --> 00:07:02,818
Should just be a few minutes.

138
00:07:04,153 --> 00:07:05,738
Hey!

139
00:07:05,863 --> 00:07:06,948
Come here.

140
00:07:11,327 --> 00:07:12,411
You know who's in there?

141
00:07:12,536 --> 00:07:13,704
‐Who?
‐Noah Tremblay.

142
00:07:13,829 --> 00:07:15,331
Who?

143
00:07:15,414 --> 00:07:16,624
The hockey player.

144
00:07:16,707 --> 00:07:17,875
He played for the Maple Leafs.

145
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,751
So?

146
00:07:18,876 --> 00:07:20,503
So he's kind of a big deal.

147
00:07:20,544 --> 00:07:22,588
I don't care if he's
Patrice Bergeron.

148
00:07:22,672 --> 00:07:24,674
I've got stuff to do.

149
00:07:24,799 --> 00:07:26,467
‐Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
‐Thank you.

150
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:28,094
Oh... excuse me.

151
00:07:28,219 --> 00:07:29,428
I'm sorry.

152
00:07:29,553 --> 00:07:31,389
No, I'm sorry.
Here, let me help you.

153
00:07:31,514 --> 00:07:34,684
No, no, I got it.
Here.

154
00:07:34,809 --> 00:07:35,810
Thanks.

155
00:07:36,894 --> 00:07:38,354
Courtney.

156
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:40,314
I see you already
met Noah Tremblay.

157
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:41,816
Ah... yes.
Hello.

158
00:07:41,899 --> 00:07:43,651
Hi.

159
00:07:43,776 --> 00:07:46,112
Courtney runs the Skating Oval
in the park.

160
00:07:46,195 --> 00:07:48,572
Oh, yes, nice to meet you.

161
00:07:48,698 --> 00:07:49,907
You two have a lot in common.

162
00:07:50,032 --> 00:07:51,033
Really?

163
00:07:51,158 --> 00:07:52,660
Mm‐hmm, Noah just built

164
00:07:52,785 --> 00:07:56,330
the new indoor ice complex
in the canal district.

165
00:07:56,414 --> 00:07:58,833
They're going to have their
grand opening in a couple weeks.

166
00:07:58,916 --> 00:08:00,793
‐Right, Noah?
‐Yeah, that's right.

167
00:08:00,876 --> 00:08:01,836
Hmm.

168
00:08:01,961 --> 00:08:03,462
Well, you wanted to
see me Mr. Mayor?

169
00:08:03,546 --> 00:08:05,548
Yeah, come on in.

170
00:08:05,631 --> 00:08:07,675
‐Thank you.
‐Take care.

171
00:08:07,717 --> 00:08:10,511
I hope I bump into you
again, Courtney.

172
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,809
‐Beth, would take care
of that for me?
‐Sure.

173
00:08:16,892 --> 00:08:18,769
If you can find a place
to work on that desk.

174
00:08:20,813 --> 00:08:23,983
I was impressed to hear about
your skating career in college.

175
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:25,818
Thank you.

176
00:08:25,943 --> 00:08:28,571
State champion is
quite an accomplishment.

177
00:08:30,531 --> 00:08:31,407
Such a shame you got injured.

178
00:08:31,532 --> 00:08:32,950
It happens.

179
00:08:33,034 --> 00:08:34,869
I'm just glad I can
share the joy of skating

180
00:08:34,994 --> 00:08:36,037
with the kids now.

181
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,664
Yes, well about that.

182
00:08:38,748 --> 00:08:40,082
We've been going over
the budget and the city

183
00:08:40,207 --> 00:08:43,419
is just not going to be able
to subsidize the cost

184
00:08:43,544 --> 00:08:45,254
of running the Skating Oval
any longer.

185
00:08:45,379 --> 00:08:46,714
What?

186
00:08:46,797 --> 00:08:50,009
But, rentals are
up this year

187
00:08:50,051 --> 00:08:52,136
and I've been recruiting
more and more kids

188
00:08:52,219 --> 00:08:54,597
for the after school
skating program every day.

189
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,309
That's nice, but
the Skating Oval is a luxury

190
00:08:58,392 --> 00:09:00,561
that the city
just can't afford.

191
00:09:00,686 --> 00:09:02,480
But, Mr. Greenwood,

192
00:09:02,563 --> 00:09:04,440
the skating means
so much to the kids

193
00:09:04,523 --> 00:09:06,233
and it's Christmas!

194
00:09:06,358 --> 00:09:08,110
Well, Noah's new
indoor ice complex

195
00:09:08,194 --> 00:09:10,654
is going to have all kinds
of programs for the kids.

196
00:09:10,738 --> 00:09:13,157
Have you seen it?
It's really very impressive.

197
00:09:13,282 --> 00:09:15,326
But that's not free.

198
00:09:15,409 --> 00:09:16,952
What about the kids
who can't afford it?

199
00:09:17,036 --> 00:09:18,871
That's why we're going to
keep the Skating Oval open

200
00:09:18,996 --> 00:09:21,290
through the holidays
and then shut it down

201
00:09:21,373 --> 00:09:22,666
right after the new year.

202
00:09:24,043 --> 00:09:26,837
What about the Christmas
Carnival on Christmas Eve?

203
00:09:26,921 --> 00:09:29,882
That is exactly the
kind of event

204
00:09:29,965 --> 00:09:31,967
that makes the Skating Oval
unsustainable.

205
00:09:32,051 --> 00:09:34,470
You're cancelling the
Christmas Carnival?

206
00:09:34,553 --> 00:09:36,847
The kids will be
heart broken.

207
00:09:36,972 --> 00:09:40,434
Running a city means making
tough choices, Ms. Bennett.

208
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,853
With all due respect,
I think you're making
a mistake.

209
00:09:42,937 --> 00:09:45,481
The kids aside,
the Skating Oval represents

210
00:09:45,564 --> 00:09:47,817
a commitment
to revitalize downtown,

211
00:09:47,942 --> 00:09:50,736
to make the city more
accessible and family friendly.

212
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:53,489
If it closes that would
be a major step backward.

213
00:09:53,531 --> 00:09:57,118
The city council is
dead set on this.

214
00:09:57,201 --> 00:09:59,036
The numbers are the numbers.

215
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,247
But you could convince
them otherwise.

216
00:10:01,330 --> 00:10:03,040
What would it take?

217
00:10:03,165 --> 00:10:04,917
Money.

218
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Make the Skating Oval
a revenue source for the city

219
00:10:08,045 --> 00:10:12,424
instead of a negative line item
that it is right now.

220
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:13,968
So, how do we
make that happen?

221
00:10:16,762 --> 00:10:19,348
A Christmas miracle.

222
00:10:19,431 --> 00:10:21,267
Okay, then I'll get to work
on a Christmas miracle.

223
00:10:25,688 --> 00:10:27,690
Merry Christmas,
Mr. Greenwood.

224
00:10:30,276 --> 00:10:31,986
Merry Christmas.

225
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:46,250
I can't believe
he's closing the Oval

226
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:48,294
and cancelling
the Christmas Carnival.

227
00:10:48,377 --> 00:10:50,296
The kids look forward
to this all year long!

228
00:10:50,379 --> 00:10:52,006
It's not just the kids.

229
00:10:52,089 --> 00:10:55,593
This is the biggest event
for Santa and me every year.

230
00:10:55,676 --> 00:10:56,969
Did you know about this?

231
00:10:57,052 --> 00:10:58,429
Did somebody call
to cancel you yet?

232
00:10:58,512 --> 00:11:01,140
No, I just assumed we were on.

233
00:11:01,223 --> 00:11:03,809
We've been doing the Christmas
Carnival for years.

234
00:11:03,893 --> 00:11:05,978
What am I going to do?

235
00:11:06,061 --> 00:11:07,188
You're going to
figure it out.

236
00:11:07,271 --> 00:11:08,606
But how?

237
00:11:08,689 --> 00:11:10,107
Come on,

238
00:11:10,191 --> 00:11:12,651
you've got to get those
competitive juices flowing.

239
00:11:12,735 --> 00:11:14,987
Fight for what you believe in.

240
00:11:15,112 --> 00:11:16,697
Is Santa looking
for another elf?

241
00:11:16,822 --> 00:11:18,365
Because I'm gonna be out
of a job next Christmas.

242
00:11:18,490 --> 00:11:19,950
Look. He told you
what you have to do.

243
00:11:20,034 --> 00:11:21,994
You need to find a way
to fund the rink

244
00:11:22,077 --> 00:11:23,871
and the carnival and take
the cost off his ledger.

245
00:11:23,996 --> 00:11:25,539
That's easier
said than done.

246
00:11:25,623 --> 00:11:27,541
I didn't say it
was going to be easy.

247
00:11:27,666 --> 00:11:28,584
(store bell chimes)

248
00:11:28,709 --> 00:11:29,668
Hey.

249
00:11:29,752 --> 00:11:32,713
Oh, hi, Trevor.

250
00:11:32,838 --> 00:11:35,299
Beth this is Trevor.
Trevor, my roommate Beth.

251
00:11:35,382 --> 00:11:37,468
‐Hi.
‐Hi.

252
00:11:39,553 --> 00:11:41,138
I gotta go.

253
00:11:41,222 --> 00:11:43,682
I'll just leave you two
to get to know each other.

254
00:11:43,724 --> 00:11:45,226
Have fun.

255
00:11:46,852 --> 00:11:47,978
[whispers]
What are you doing to me?

256
00:11:51,565 --> 00:11:53,359
So...

257
00:12:08,249 --> 00:12:10,209
That's her, Daddy.

258
00:12:42,741 --> 00:12:44,285
(chuckles)

259
00:12:45,911 --> 00:12:48,497
Hi, Grace!
You came back!

260
00:12:48,580 --> 00:12:50,833
Hi, Courtney.
This is my Dad.

261
00:12:50,958 --> 00:12:53,127
I'm Courtney Bennett.

262
00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:54,378
Oh, it's you!

263
00:12:54,503 --> 00:12:57,673
‐Yeah, we've met.
‐Yeah, we did.

264
00:12:57,756 --> 00:12:59,550
How could I forget.

265
00:12:59,675 --> 00:13:01,677
You skate beautifully.

266
00:13:01,802 --> 00:13:03,470
Thank you.

267
00:13:03,554 --> 00:13:05,723
I actually had the pleasure of
skating with Grace yesterday.

268
00:13:05,806 --> 00:13:08,017
So she said.

269
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:09,685
Well, if she's interested,

270
00:13:09,768 --> 00:13:12,021
we have a beginner's class that
starts in about ten minutes.

271
00:13:12,104 --> 00:13:14,398
Really sweet group
of girls just her age.

272
00:13:14,481 --> 00:13:15,691
We meet twice a week.

273
00:13:15,816 --> 00:13:17,693
How much does it cost?

274
00:13:17,776 --> 00:13:20,362
Nothing, actually.
It's free.

275
00:13:20,487 --> 00:13:21,655
‐It's free?
‐Yeah.

276
00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:24,074
Can I Dad?
Can I?

277
00:13:24,199 --> 00:13:25,576
So the city subsidizes it?

278
00:13:25,701 --> 00:13:28,954
Yeah.
Well, for now.

279
00:13:29,038 --> 00:13:30,956
Huh.

280
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,209
Are you sure you want to take
skating lessons with Courtney?

281
00:13:34,335 --> 00:13:36,587
Yeah!

282
00:13:36,712 --> 00:13:39,006
Okay, great.

283
00:13:39,131 --> 00:13:41,216
Well, we'd love to
have you join our class.

284
00:13:41,342 --> 00:13:43,552
‐And I see you already
have skates.
‐Yup.

285
00:13:43,677 --> 00:13:44,887
Why don't you go put them on?

286
00:13:45,012 --> 00:13:46,513
'Kay, but I need help
tying them.

287
00:13:46,638 --> 00:13:47,723
Sure, I'll be right there.

288
00:13:47,848 --> 00:13:49,016
Thank you.

289
00:13:51,852 --> 00:13:53,395
I've got a sign up
sheet in the shack.

290
00:13:58,192 --> 00:13:59,651
All right, so everyone's
in the circle.

291
00:13:59,777 --> 00:14:01,695
Perfect, make your circle.

292
00:14:01,820 --> 00:14:03,530
And... yep, perfect.

293
00:14:03,655 --> 00:14:05,616
And then heels together.

294
00:14:05,699 --> 00:14:07,451
Great, and then arms.

295
00:14:07,534 --> 00:14:12,039
Start.
You go up, and out.

296
00:14:12,122 --> 00:14:13,499
And then swizzle in.

297
00:14:13,624 --> 00:14:15,084
And then left arm.

298
00:14:15,209 --> 00:14:17,836
And then grab each
other's hands.

299
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,171
Okay, you just undo the hooks
like this.

300
00:14:19,254 --> 00:14:20,672
Oh, okay.

301
00:14:20,756 --> 00:14:21,799
‐Then it's like
a regular shoe.
‐Oh.

302
00:14:21,882 --> 00:14:23,342
Courtney, thank you.

303
00:14:24,968 --> 00:14:26,512
Grace really had fun,
I could tell.

304
00:14:26,595 --> 00:14:27,805
She's a great kid.

305
00:14:27,888 --> 00:14:30,099
With real skating
potential, too.

306
00:14:30,224 --> 00:14:31,683
Yeah, I mean she just never
really showed

307
00:14:31,767 --> 00:14:32,893
much interest in
skating with me.

308
00:14:33,018 --> 00:14:34,686
You were a
hockey player, right?

309
00:14:34,770 --> 00:14:35,854
That's right, yeah.

310
00:14:35,979 --> 00:14:37,272
I learned to skate
before I could walk.

311
00:14:37,356 --> 00:14:39,316
Maybe she's just
not interested in hockey.

312
00:14:40,609 --> 00:14:42,194
Maybe not.

313
00:14:42,277 --> 00:14:43,946
Well, Grace is doing
really well.

314
00:14:44,029 --> 00:14:45,781
She's a natural.

315
00:14:45,864 --> 00:14:47,491
Takes after her old man.

316
00:14:47,616 --> 00:14:49,535
Guess so.

317
00:14:49,618 --> 00:14:50,911
Well, I...

318
00:14:51,036 --> 00:14:52,830
guess we'll see
you on Thursday.

319
00:14:52,913 --> 00:14:54,415
Sounds good.
Have a great evening.

320
00:14:54,498 --> 00:14:56,792
‐You, too.
‐Bye.

321
00:14:56,875 --> 00:14:59,753
Oh, Courtney, wait.

322
00:14:59,878 --> 00:15:01,422
I really had fun
at class, thank you.

323
00:15:01,547 --> 00:15:04,007
You're so welcome.
I'll see you next time!

324
00:15:04,091 --> 00:15:05,592
‐Yup! Bye.
‐Bye.

325
00:15:10,681 --> 00:15:12,307
‐Hi.
‐Hi.

326
00:15:12,391 --> 00:15:13,100
How was Trevor?

327
00:15:13,183 --> 00:15:14,601
You owe me big time!

328
00:15:14,726 --> 00:15:17,020
Oh, no, sorry.

329
00:15:17,062 --> 00:15:19,440
Eh, he's not actually
as bad as I expected.

330
00:15:20,482 --> 00:15:22,067
But, forget about Trevor.

331
00:15:22,192 --> 00:15:23,694
What was that all about?

332
00:15:23,819 --> 00:15:25,946
What, Noah?

333
00:15:26,029 --> 00:15:27,322
His daughter joined
my class today.

334
00:15:27,406 --> 00:15:29,658
Oh, so we're on a first
name basis already?

335
00:15:29,741 --> 00:15:31,577
So...

336
00:15:31,660 --> 00:15:34,121
So, he's gorgeous, rich...

337
00:15:34,204 --> 00:15:36,206
And oh, right, single.

338
00:15:36,331 --> 00:15:39,001
And a typical jock,
full of himself.

339
00:15:39,084 --> 00:15:40,586
Okay... and that's a problem?

340
00:15:42,045 --> 00:15:43,422
Wonder what happened
to Grace's mom.

341
00:15:46,425 --> 00:15:47,676
So you are interested.

342
00:15:47,801 --> 00:15:49,678
Please.

343
00:15:49,761 --> 00:15:52,431
He's only the most eligible
bachelor in Worcester.

344
00:15:52,514 --> 00:15:54,808
And, he owns the
indoor ice complex.

345
00:15:54,892 --> 00:15:57,269
He's the main reason why the
Oval is going to be closed down.

346
00:15:57,394 --> 00:16:00,105
Your boss was drooling over
that facility the other day.

347
00:16:00,189 --> 00:16:02,065
Ooh, hadn't thought of that.

348
00:16:03,317 --> 00:16:04,818
I'll introduce you
next time he comes by.

349
00:16:04,943 --> 00:16:07,404
Nah, I, uh...

350
00:16:07,529 --> 00:16:10,616
I'm going out to dinner
with Trevor tomorrow night.

351
00:16:10,699 --> 00:16:12,993
Oh, you are?

352
00:16:13,118 --> 00:16:15,162
I figured I'd give
him a chance.

353
00:16:15,245 --> 00:16:17,080
So, I owe you why?

354
00:16:17,206 --> 00:16:19,625
Okay, see ya!
I gotta go make some kids cry.

355
00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:21,293
Okay.

356
00:16:56,870 --> 00:16:58,914
(sighs)

357
00:16:59,039 --> 00:17:01,375
(chattering)

358
00:17:38,036 --> 00:17:39,663
(shouting on hockey rink)

359
00:17:57,723 --> 00:17:59,266
Oh, hi.

360
00:17:59,391 --> 00:18:00,976
What a nice surprise.

361
00:18:01,059 --> 00:18:02,311
Hi.

362
00:18:02,394 --> 00:18:03,687
Um...

363
00:18:03,812 --> 00:18:06,565
I can't believe I haven't
been in here before.

364
00:18:06,648 --> 00:18:08,567
It's incredible.

365
00:18:08,692 --> 00:18:09,943
Well, thank you, yeah.

366
00:18:10,027 --> 00:18:11,820
I thought you
weren't open yet.

367
00:18:11,945 --> 00:18:14,406
Oh, a couple of local skaters
and teams needed some ice time,

368
00:18:14,489 --> 00:18:16,867
so I gave them a
little soft opening

369
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:19,036
before the big unveiling
in a few weeks.

370
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,871
Hmm.

371
00:18:20,954 --> 00:18:22,831
How can I
compete with this?

372
00:18:22,956 --> 00:18:24,625
Excuse me?

373
00:18:24,708 --> 00:18:26,168
How can I compete with this?

374
00:18:26,251 --> 00:18:28,253
Hey, hey, hold up.

375
00:18:28,378 --> 00:18:30,297
Hold on.
What are you talking about?

376
00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:33,383
You're not even open yet
and this place is bustling
with activity.

377
00:18:33,508 --> 00:18:36,303
There's athletes,
their families, their coaches.

378
00:18:36,386 --> 00:18:38,930
Restaurants, a coffee shop!

379
00:18:39,014 --> 00:18:40,807
You don't have
to compete with this.

380
00:18:40,891 --> 00:18:42,392
Apparently I do!

381
00:18:42,517 --> 00:18:44,686
The Mayor wants
to close us down.

382
00:18:44,770 --> 00:18:47,230
‐He said that?
‐Yes.

383
00:18:47,356 --> 00:18:49,816
"The Skating Oval is a luxury
the city can't afford."

384
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,777
Huh.

385
00:18:51,860 --> 00:18:54,029
It's the centerpiece
of the Worcester's
recreational offerings

386
00:18:54,154 --> 00:18:55,989
and it's right downtown.

387
00:18:56,073 --> 00:18:57,032
Have you ever skated
out there?

388
00:18:57,157 --> 00:18:58,992
No, actually I haven't.

389
00:18:59,076 --> 00:19:03,580
Nothing beats skating outdoors,
especially at Christmastime!

390
00:19:03,664 --> 00:19:07,209
I've certainly done
my fair share of
outdoor skating.

391
00:19:07,292 --> 00:19:09,169
Then you know.

392
00:19:09,294 --> 00:19:11,421
Yeah, I do.

393
00:19:13,215 --> 00:19:16,343
Well, I hope I wasn't
intruding by stopping by.

394
00:19:16,426 --> 00:19:18,804
Not at all.
Come by anytime.

395
00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:21,848
Hey, Noah.

396
00:19:21,973 --> 00:19:23,684
If you have
this whole complex,

397
00:19:23,809 --> 00:19:26,645
why do you bring Grace
to the Oval for lessons?

398
00:19:28,021 --> 00:19:30,941
Well, uh...

399
00:19:31,024 --> 00:19:32,818
she chose it.

400
00:19:32,901 --> 00:19:33,902
Really?

401
00:19:35,529 --> 00:19:36,947
Yeah.

402
00:19:37,030 --> 00:19:38,657
She chose it because of you.

403
00:19:51,044 --> 00:19:52,462
Nice, girls.

404
00:19:57,884 --> 00:19:58,927
Gracie!

405
00:20:01,054 --> 00:20:03,515
Daddy, look!
I can skate backwards.

406
00:20:03,598 --> 00:20:05,892
That is wonderful sweetheart.

407
00:20:10,063 --> 00:20:11,231
Hello, Noah.

408
00:20:11,356 --> 00:20:13,024
Hi. Look at that,

409
00:20:13,150 --> 00:20:14,568
she's skating backwards!

410
00:20:14,693 --> 00:20:16,611
I know, she's making
great progress.

411
00:20:16,695 --> 00:20:18,238
Yeah, she sure is.

412
00:20:18,321 --> 00:20:21,366
Hey, I had something
I wanted to discuss with you.

413
00:20:21,450 --> 00:20:24,161
Maybe you have time for a
coffee, after you're done?

414
00:20:24,286 --> 00:20:26,288
Oh, um, today?

415
00:20:26,371 --> 00:20:27,664
Yeah, why not.

416
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:29,833
No time like
the present, right?

417
00:20:29,958 --> 00:20:32,461
Uh... yeah, okay.

418
00:20:32,544 --> 00:20:33,879
Great.

419
00:20:35,213 --> 00:20:36,757
All right, girls
let's do the star.

420
00:20:39,217 --> 00:20:41,428
Nice. Nice!

421
00:20:47,934 --> 00:20:51,897
So, what do you do in
the summers when
there's no ice?

422
00:20:51,980 --> 00:20:54,483
I run the kids sailing
program down at the lake.

423
00:20:54,566 --> 00:20:57,235
Do your parents ever ask you
when you're getting a real job?

424
00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:59,780
Excuse me?

425
00:20:59,863 --> 00:21:01,364
I'm kidding...

426
00:21:01,490 --> 00:21:03,909
That's a great compliment to
what you do in the winter.

427
00:21:06,036 --> 00:21:07,329
Thank you.

428
00:21:07,454 --> 00:21:09,664
Meanwhile, I'm working
on my Masters.

429
00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:10,999
Really? In what?

430
00:21:11,124 --> 00:21:12,584
Education.

431
00:21:12,709 --> 00:21:14,795
That's perfect for you.
You're a natural teacher.

432
00:21:16,630 --> 00:21:19,508
So, what did you
want to talk about?

433
00:21:19,633 --> 00:21:22,511
Well, I was really impressed
with the way

434
00:21:22,552 --> 00:21:23,845
you interacted with the kids.

435
00:21:23,970 --> 00:21:25,597
Wow, thanks.

436
00:21:25,722 --> 00:21:28,225
And Grace has really
taken to you.

437
00:21:28,350 --> 00:21:29,684
I mean...

438
00:21:29,768 --> 00:21:32,562
Haven't seen her light up
like that...

439
00:21:32,687 --> 00:21:35,649
about anything for...
forever.

440
00:21:36,525 --> 00:21:38,360
She's a great kid.

441
00:21:38,485 --> 00:21:40,362
So I want to offer you a job.

442
00:21:42,072 --> 00:21:44,157
Wait, what?

443
00:21:44,282 --> 00:21:46,952
Yeah, I want you to
teach skating for me.

444
00:21:48,203 --> 00:21:50,497
Okay... I didn't
see that coming.

445
00:21:52,165 --> 00:21:54,709
Well?
What do you think?

446
00:21:57,546 --> 00:21:59,339
I see what you're doing.

447
00:21:59,464 --> 00:22:01,174
You're trying to
eliminate the competition.

448
00:22:01,258 --> 00:22:03,426
No, that's not what
I'm doing, really.

449
00:22:03,552 --> 00:22:04,761
Here's the thing.
I already have a job.

450
00:22:04,886 --> 00:22:06,179
And I only have
a couple weeks

451
00:22:06,304 --> 00:22:07,639
to figure out a
plan to save it.

452
00:22:07,722 --> 00:22:11,476
Yeah, right, this is
a year 'round position.

453
00:22:12,894 --> 00:22:15,564
As long as you're not
trying to sabotage me...

454
00:22:15,689 --> 00:22:18,441
I'm not trying
to sabotage you.

455
00:22:18,525 --> 00:22:20,193
Maybe we could work together

456
00:22:20,318 --> 00:22:22,696
to figure out a way
to save the Oval.

457
00:22:22,821 --> 00:22:24,614
Okay, what did
you have in mind?

458
00:22:24,698 --> 00:22:26,449
Either we raise
a lot of money

459
00:22:26,533 --> 00:22:28,660
or we convince the city that
it's in their best interest

460
00:22:28,785 --> 00:22:30,036
not to close it.

461
00:22:30,161 --> 00:22:31,830
‐Or both.
‐Exactly.

462
00:22:31,955 --> 00:22:34,374
I bet those are things
you're pretty good at.

463
00:22:34,457 --> 00:22:35,834
That's interesting.

464
00:22:35,917 --> 00:22:38,795
Do you have a business plan
or a proposal doc?

465
00:22:38,879 --> 00:22:40,255
Not yet.

466
00:22:40,380 --> 00:22:41,673
I only just heard
of the mayor's plans.

467
00:22:41,756 --> 00:22:43,842
The problem is we
don't have much time.

468
00:22:43,925 --> 00:22:46,511
‐Right, how much do
you need to raise?
‐I'm working on the budget

469
00:22:46,636 --> 00:22:50,056
and how much it costs
to run the rink each year.

470
00:22:50,181 --> 00:22:53,351
What do you think?
Would you be willing to help?

471
00:22:53,476 --> 00:22:55,353
Okay, way to ask
for the order.

472
00:22:55,395 --> 00:22:57,063
I should have offered
you a job in group sales!

473
00:22:59,316 --> 00:23:00,775
This is important to me.

474
00:23:04,112 --> 00:23:05,030
I can see that.

475
00:23:07,908 --> 00:23:10,368
Okay, um...

476
00:23:10,493 --> 00:23:13,288
Let me take a look
at the numbers.

477
00:23:13,371 --> 00:23:15,498
Fair enough.

478
00:23:15,582 --> 00:23:17,500
Let me do some homework
and I'll get back to you.

479
00:23:31,264 --> 00:23:33,767
(sniffling)

480
00:23:38,021 --> 00:23:39,814
Are you crying?

481
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:41,524
Yeah, so?

482
00:23:41,650 --> 00:23:43,902
Oh, you're so sappy.

483
00:23:43,985 --> 00:23:45,862
I can't help it.

484
00:23:45,987 --> 00:23:48,073
I love Christmas movies.

485
00:23:49,950 --> 00:23:51,993
What's up?

486
00:23:52,077 --> 00:23:55,038
Well... Noah's not as
bad as I thought.

487
00:23:55,163 --> 00:23:56,623
Oh, you saw him again?

488
00:23:56,706 --> 00:23:58,625
He invited me for coffee.

489
00:23:58,708 --> 00:24:01,294
Ooh, coffee.
Trouble.

490
00:24:01,378 --> 00:24:03,213
I think I'm
in over my head.

491
00:24:03,338 --> 00:24:04,547
Wow, already?

492
00:24:04,673 --> 00:24:06,841
Not with Noah.
With the Oval.

493
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,885
Oh. How?

494
00:24:09,010 --> 00:24:11,179
I need a business
plan, stat.

495
00:24:11,262 --> 00:24:12,681
Okay.

496
00:24:12,806 --> 00:24:14,641
Do you know how
to write a business plan?

497
00:24:14,724 --> 00:24:17,268
As a matter of fact, I do.

498
00:24:17,394 --> 00:24:19,062
‐Really.
‐Yeah.

499
00:24:19,187 --> 00:24:21,606
How do you think Santa and
I got our start up funding?

500
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:23,692
How'd you learn
how to do that?

501
00:24:23,817 --> 00:24:24,776
YouTube.

502
00:24:24,859 --> 00:24:26,987
You can learn
anything on YouTube.

503
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:28,530
No kidding?

504
00:24:28,655 --> 00:24:31,533
Can YouTube help me find out
how much it costs the city

505
00:24:31,658 --> 00:24:32,951
to operate the Oval each year

506
00:24:33,034 --> 00:24:35,787
including the
Christmas Carnival?

507
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:38,623
No, probably not, but
it's all public record.

508
00:24:38,707 --> 00:24:41,042
So I can just dig
it out tomorrow.

509
00:24:41,167 --> 00:24:42,585
Piece of cake.

510
00:24:42,711 --> 00:24:45,880
‐Thank you.
‐Mm‐hmm, sure.

511
00:24:46,006 --> 00:24:47,799
Okay.

512
00:24:47,882 --> 00:24:49,843
He offered me a
job, you know.

513
00:24:49,926 --> 00:24:52,262
Oh, that's nice.

514
00:24:52,345 --> 00:24:53,638
You might need one.

515
00:24:54,597 --> 00:24:57,100
Okay, now can I
watch my movie?

516
00:24:57,225 --> 00:24:58,810
Yeah, what's happened so far?

517
00:24:58,893 --> 00:25:01,187
Ugh, I can't even tell you
or I'll start to cry.

518
00:25:02,230 --> 00:25:03,314
It's that sad.

519
00:25:03,398 --> 00:25:04,607
So bad.

520
00:25:04,691 --> 00:25:06,359
‐Do you want one?
‐No.

521
00:25:06,484 --> 00:25:07,694
‐Pre‐emptive?
‐No.

522
00:25:10,113 --> 00:25:11,990
Hi, returning?

523
00:25:12,073 --> 00:25:15,493
All right. Have a good one,
see you soon.

524
00:25:24,044 --> 00:25:25,295
(phone vibrating)

525
00:25:29,215 --> 00:25:30,967
Hey.

526
00:25:31,051 --> 00:25:33,845
So, with set up and breakdown
costs in the Fall and Spring,

527
00:25:33,970 --> 00:25:36,639
the off‐season storage of
the boards and the Zamboni,

528
00:25:36,723 --> 00:25:38,975
maintaining the ice,
refrigeration, electricity,

529
00:25:39,059 --> 00:25:41,186
your salary and
Trevor's it looks like

530
00:25:41,227 --> 00:25:45,440
the Skating Oval costs the
city about $135,000 a year.

531
00:25:45,523 --> 00:25:47,233
Wow.

532
00:25:47,317 --> 00:25:50,153
And that doesn't even count the
cost of the Christmas Carnival.

533
00:25:50,278 --> 00:25:51,780
Nope.

534
00:25:51,863 --> 00:25:54,324
The cost to decorate
the Commons is $25,000.

535
00:25:54,449 --> 00:25:56,951
Well, they have
to do that anyway.

536
00:25:57,035 --> 00:25:58,328
True.

537
00:26:01,372 --> 00:26:03,291
<i>Hello?</i>

538
00:26:03,374 --> 00:26:04,501
<i>You there?</i>

539
00:26:04,626 --> 00:26:06,878
‐It's him.
‐Who?

540
00:26:07,003 --> 00:26:09,172
It's Noah.

541
00:26:09,255 --> 00:26:11,382
And he's carrying
his skates.

542
00:26:11,508 --> 00:26:14,219
Oh, really?

543
00:26:14,302 --> 00:26:16,221
‐Talk later.
‐Okay, bye.

544
00:26:17,639 --> 00:26:19,265
‐Hi.
‐Hi.

545
00:26:19,349 --> 00:26:20,892
What are you doing here?

546
00:26:20,975 --> 00:26:24,896
Well, I actually haven't
skated outside
since I was a kid

547
00:26:24,979 --> 00:26:27,065
playing shinny hockey
with my friends.

548
00:26:27,190 --> 00:26:28,191
You're kidding, really!?

549
00:26:28,316 --> 00:26:29,692
Yeah.

550
00:26:29,818 --> 00:26:31,694
So you got me intrigued.

551
00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:33,655
How much for
a lunch break skate?

552
00:26:33,780 --> 00:26:37,826
Without rentals?
$5.00 for an hour.

553
00:26:37,909 --> 00:26:38,952
Okay.

554
00:26:41,037 --> 00:26:42,872
Great.

555
00:26:42,997 --> 00:26:45,375
Would you, um...
would you care to join me?

556
00:26:46,459 --> 00:26:51,005
Um... okay, sure.

557
00:26:52,590 --> 00:26:53,758
Great.

558
00:26:54,634 --> 00:26:55,885
I'll see you out there.

559
00:26:58,721 --> 00:27:00,098
Wow, this is great.

560
00:27:00,181 --> 00:27:01,683
I can't believe I haven't
done this before.

561
00:27:01,724 --> 00:27:03,351
Isn't it great?

562
00:27:03,476 --> 00:27:05,270
It's wonderful.

563
00:27:05,395 --> 00:27:07,605
So did you think
about my offer?

564
00:27:08,565 --> 00:27:10,024
I thought I made it clear

565
00:27:10,108 --> 00:27:12,569
I'm not really looking
for a job right now.

566
00:27:12,694 --> 00:27:14,863
Okay. No pressure.

567
00:27:16,865 --> 00:27:19,826
You know, your passion
is pretty contagious.

568
00:27:19,868 --> 00:27:21,327
Where does that come from?

569
00:27:21,452 --> 00:27:23,955
I was a pretty competitive
skater when I was younger.

570
00:27:24,038 --> 00:27:25,415
I heard.

571
00:27:25,540 --> 00:27:26,457
Massachusetts state champ?

572
00:27:26,541 --> 00:27:27,667
Yeah.

573
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:29,627
I almost made the US Team,

574
00:27:29,711 --> 00:27:31,004
but then I blew out my knee.

575
00:27:31,129 --> 00:27:34,215
So now I share my love
of skating with the kids.

576
00:27:34,340 --> 00:27:35,550
Yeah. How'd you wreck your knee?

577
00:27:35,633 --> 00:27:37,677
Playing soccer.

578
00:27:37,802 --> 00:27:39,053
‐Ooh.
‐Yeah.

579
00:27:39,179 --> 00:27:41,306
My skating coach
was really mad.

580
00:27:41,389 --> 00:27:44,475
I rehabbed it like crazy,
but as soon as I got back
out on the ice,

581
00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:46,269
it just
wasn't the same.

582
00:27:46,352 --> 00:27:49,397
It was 90% there, but
I lost my trust in it.

583
00:27:49,522 --> 00:27:52,025
Yeah, I know
what you mean.

584
00:27:52,150 --> 00:27:54,319
I'm a member of
the torn ACL club myself.

585
00:27:54,444 --> 00:27:56,362
Is that why you
quit playing hockey?

586
00:27:56,487 --> 00:27:58,239
Yeah. Exactly.

587
00:27:58,364 --> 00:28:00,825
I had the surgery,

588
00:28:00,909 --> 00:28:03,745
and my knee just was
never the same.

589
00:28:05,079 --> 00:28:07,248
I think it was
in my head.

590
00:28:07,373 --> 00:28:09,751
I just, I lost my edge.

591
00:28:09,876 --> 00:28:11,336
Literally and figuratively.

592
00:28:11,461 --> 00:28:12,587
Ha!

593
00:28:12,712 --> 00:28:14,464
Oh, look who's here.

594
00:28:15,882 --> 00:28:17,258
She's really sweet,
by the way...

595
00:28:17,383 --> 00:28:18,635
Grace's baby‐sitter.

596
00:28:18,718 --> 00:28:20,011
‐What's her name?
‐Yeah, she is. Margaret.

597
00:28:20,094 --> 00:28:21,387
I couldn't do it without her.

598
00:28:21,512 --> 00:28:23,348
Single parenting
is pretty tough.

599
00:28:23,473 --> 00:28:26,601
I can't imagine.
What happened to Grace's mom?

600
00:28:26,726 --> 00:28:30,230
We lost her
five years ago.

601
00:28:30,355 --> 00:28:33,650
Oh, I'm so sorry.

602
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:35,818
‐Hi‐ya.
‐Hi.

603
00:28:35,944 --> 00:28:37,528
Hi, sweetheart.
How was school?

604
00:28:37,654 --> 00:28:39,030
Good...
Hi, Courtney!

605
00:28:39,155 --> 00:28:40,281
Hi Grace, you ready
for class?

606
00:28:40,365 --> 00:28:41,658
Yeah!

607
00:28:41,783 --> 00:28:42,742
Why don't you
put on your skates?

608
00:28:42,867 --> 00:28:44,827
‐Okay.
‐Get out here.

609
00:28:44,911 --> 00:28:46,037
Would you mind helping her?

610
00:28:46,162 --> 00:28:47,247
Thank you.

611
00:28:49,832 --> 00:28:51,334
She's pretty awesome.

612
00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:15,066
I had no idea the city wanted
to close down the Skating Oval.

613
00:29:15,191 --> 00:29:16,943
That's a shame.

614
00:29:17,026 --> 00:29:19,821
I know. Which is
why I'm looking
for sponsorships

615
00:29:19,904 --> 00:29:22,240
to help underwrite
the cost of operating
the rink.

616
00:29:22,365 --> 00:29:25,410
They're still going to have
the Christmas Carnival, I hope.

617
00:29:25,535 --> 00:29:27,912
I hope, but that's why
we need to raise money.

618
00:29:28,037 --> 00:29:29,455
Can I put you down
for a pledge?

619
00:29:29,539 --> 00:29:31,082
Of course.

620
00:29:31,207 --> 00:29:34,168
I'd be more than happy to
give $100 toward the cause.

621
00:29:34,252 --> 00:29:35,878
$100?

622
00:29:36,004 --> 00:29:38,381
Yes, absolutely.
What do I get for that?

623
00:29:38,506 --> 00:29:39,632
An ad in the program?

624
00:29:39,716 --> 00:29:42,844
Uh, a quarter page ad.

625
00:29:42,969 --> 00:29:45,471
Oh, great.
That's great.

626
00:29:45,555 --> 00:29:46,848
Well, thank you.

627
00:29:46,973 --> 00:29:48,057
Great, thank you.

628
00:29:48,182 --> 00:29:49,475
You have a nice day, all right?

629
00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:50,810

What do you think?

642
00:30:55,375 --> 00:30:56,334
What was I thinking?

643
00:30:56,417 --> 00:30:57,710
This is futile.

644
00:30:57,835 --> 00:31:00,338
Even if I spent
months to prepare,

645
00:31:00,421 --> 00:31:03,591
there is no way
I'm going to raise $135,000.

646
00:31:03,674 --> 00:31:05,385
Well, you can't
give up so easily.

647
00:31:05,510 --> 00:31:07,345
Yes, I think I can.

648
00:31:07,470 --> 00:31:09,305
How much did you raise?

649
00:31:09,389 --> 00:31:12,725
$250... in pledges.

650
00:31:12,850 --> 00:31:15,061
Ooh. That's not so good.

651
00:31:15,144 --> 00:31:16,938
No! It's terrible.

652
00:31:17,021 --> 00:31:18,981
I need a whole new plan.

653
00:31:20,942 --> 00:31:22,485
We'll figure this out.

654
00:31:22,568 --> 00:31:25,863
Why doesn't the city see
the value in the Skating Oval?

655
00:31:25,947 --> 00:31:27,365
I think it's like
Mr. Greenwood said,

656
00:31:27,490 --> 00:31:28,991
it's just a budget thing.

657
00:31:29,117 --> 00:31:33,121
C'mon... in the scheme of things
this is not a huge line item.

658
00:31:33,204 --> 00:31:35,164
The city must spend
lots of money on things

659
00:31:35,248 --> 00:31:37,667
much more frivolous
than the Skating Oval.

660
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:39,419
Yeah.

661
00:31:44,924 --> 00:31:46,592
You know what?

662
00:31:46,717 --> 00:31:50,263
I'm gonna get you a copy
of the city's entire
operating budget.

663
00:31:50,388 --> 00:31:53,766
Ooh, could you?
'Cause that would
be really helpful.

664
00:31:53,891 --> 00:31:55,226
Yeah, sure.

665
00:31:55,351 --> 00:31:58,354
It would give me
some really good ammo.

666
00:31:58,438 --> 00:32:01,524
We need to get your
boss to fight for us.

667
00:32:01,649 --> 00:32:04,152
‐What's his soft spot?
‐I don't think he has one.

668
00:32:04,235 --> 00:32:06,737
Everyone has a soft spot.
Especially at Christmas.

669
00:32:06,863 --> 00:32:10,616
What's his?

670
00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:13,536
I'll find it.
I promise.

671
00:32:23,379 --> 00:32:25,506
Well?

672
00:32:25,590 --> 00:32:29,677
Well, I think you're right,
it's ambitious.

673
00:32:29,802 --> 00:32:31,262
I know.

674
00:32:31,387 --> 00:32:34,015
Unless we find a true angel,
we just don't have time.

675
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:35,516
See, I think that's
the biggest challenge.

676
00:32:35,641 --> 00:32:39,604
Because otherwise the
proposal makes sense.

677
00:32:39,729 --> 00:32:43,274
Well, I've already thought
about how we could take
a whole different tack.

678
00:32:43,357 --> 00:32:44,609
Really?

679
00:32:44,692 --> 00:32:46,402
I was wondering...

680
00:32:46,527 --> 00:32:49,155
Since you seem to know
the mayor pretty well,

681
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,158
would you mind talking
to him on my behalf?

682
00:32:52,283 --> 00:32:54,994
He needs to hear how
much the community
loves the Skating Oval

683
00:32:55,077 --> 00:32:57,038
and he's being such a Scrooge.

684
00:32:57,121 --> 00:32:59,332
Yes, I mean, I do know
him pretty well.

685
00:32:59,457 --> 00:33:01,042
He can be a grump,

686
00:33:01,167 --> 00:33:03,586
but he's not a bad guy
when you get to know him.

687
00:33:03,711 --> 00:33:05,796
What would be the angle?

688
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,299
We appeal to his sense
of charity

689
00:33:08,382 --> 00:33:09,884
and giving at Christmastime.

690
00:33:09,967 --> 00:33:12,094
Melt ol' Ebenezer's
cold heart.

691
00:33:12,220 --> 00:33:14,597
Yeah, something like that.

692
00:33:14,722 --> 00:33:16,265
You could be my Jacob Marley
and forewarn him

693
00:33:16,390 --> 00:33:18,935
of the doom and gloom that
will befall the city

694
00:33:19,018 --> 00:33:21,521
if he doesn't keep
the Skating Oval open.

695
00:33:21,604 --> 00:33:24,565
Look, honestly, I don't think
that's the right approach.

696
00:33:24,690 --> 00:33:26,025
Why not?

697
00:33:26,150 --> 00:33:27,818
Because Calvin looks
at my facility

698
00:33:27,902 --> 00:33:31,072
like a shining star in the
revitalization of the city.

699
00:33:31,197 --> 00:33:33,157
It's an economic engine

700
00:33:33,241 --> 00:33:36,827
that provides jobs and
adds to the tax base.

701
00:33:36,953 --> 00:33:38,204
He's all about the money.

702
00:33:38,329 --> 00:33:39,664
But it shouldn't just
be about the money.

703
00:33:39,747 --> 00:33:41,999
No, it shouldn't.

704
00:33:42,083 --> 00:33:43,501
We have to show him
how many people

705
00:33:43,584 --> 00:33:45,503
in the city love the Oval!

706
00:33:45,586 --> 00:33:47,004
But How?

707
00:33:48,881 --> 00:33:51,551
I'm thinking
a Christmas card campaign.

708
00:33:53,177 --> 00:33:55,096
We spread the word and get
as many people as possible

709
00:33:55,179 --> 00:33:56,639
to write him a Christmas card

710
00:33:56,722 --> 00:33:58,808
telling him how much the
Skating Oval means to them.

711
00:33:58,891 --> 00:34:00,393
See, now you're talking!

712
00:34:00,476 --> 00:34:02,520
Let's bury his desk
in Christmas cards!

713
00:34:02,645 --> 00:34:04,188
Okay, I'll reach out to
the community,

714
00:34:04,272 --> 00:34:05,982
and mine will be the first.

715
00:34:06,065 --> 00:34:08,025
I'll tell him how
disappointed Grace will be.

716
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:11,070
Thank you, Noah.

717
00:34:11,153 --> 00:34:12,780
I'm so grateful
for your help.

718
00:34:12,863 --> 00:34:14,365
You're welcome.

719
00:34:14,490 --> 00:34:19,328
But now I have a favor
to ask of you.

720
00:34:19,453 --> 00:34:21,497
Okay...

721
00:34:21,622 --> 00:34:25,501
Grace and I are going
to get our Christmas tree
this weekend.

722
00:34:25,585 --> 00:34:28,254
And she specifically asked
if you'd like to join us.

723
00:34:28,379 --> 00:34:29,505
Really?

724
00:34:29,547 --> 00:34:31,966
She hasn't really had
a strong female presence

725
00:34:32,049 --> 00:34:34,176
in her life so much

726
00:34:35,845 --> 00:34:37,471
and she really likes you.

727
00:34:37,555 --> 00:34:39,515
That's so sweet.

728
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:42,476
I told her Christmas was
a family time,

729
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,147
and maybe you
have other plans.

730
00:34:46,272 --> 00:34:48,482
Well, my folks
are in California.

731
00:34:48,566 --> 00:34:51,152
They're not
coming back this year.

732
00:34:51,277 --> 00:34:55,990
Okay, so, maybe you
would like to join us?

733
00:34:56,115 --> 00:34:58,701
Is this Grace asking?
Or you?

734
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:03,623
It's me.

735
00:35:07,752 --> 00:35:09,462
I'd love to.

736
00:35:18,429 --> 00:35:22,224
Oh, wonderful.
Thank you, thank you.

737
00:35:22,350 --> 00:35:26,020
Hey, before you leave, we're
trying to save the Oval.

738
00:35:26,103 --> 00:35:28,022
So send the mayor
a Christmas car,

739
00:35:28,147 --> 00:35:29,774
it could really
make a difference.

740
00:35:29,857 --> 00:35:31,525
Thanks, bye.

741
00:35:32,777 --> 00:35:35,071
Oh, hey are you
looking to rent skates?

742
00:35:35,196 --> 00:35:38,115
Perfect. Well, until then,
let me give you this.

743
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:39,492
I'm trying to save the Oval,

744
00:35:39,575 --> 00:35:41,494

Hey, Sheila Sugarplum,

794
00:38:50,808 --> 00:38:52,268
Any scoops?

795
00:38:52,351 --> 00:38:54,603
Yeah, so, he got about
20 Christmas cards today.

796
00:38:54,728 --> 00:38:57,648
‐Not bad.
‐No, not at all.

797
00:38:57,773 --> 00:39:00,150
He was definitely half puzzled,
half intrigued.

798
00:39:00,276 --> 00:39:02,736
Well, okay, that's good
I guess.

799
00:39:02,820 --> 00:39:04,113
<i>We'll see.</i>

800
00:39:04,196 --> 00:39:06,574
Remember, even if you
change his mind,

801
00:39:06,699 --> 00:39:08,033
he still has to
convince the City Council.

802
00:39:08,158 --> 00:39:10,244
Okay, well, one step at a time.

803
00:39:10,327 --> 00:39:13,914
And, um, there's a photo
of a girl in his office.

804
00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:15,666
<i>I'll send it to you.</i>

805
00:39:15,791 --> 00:39:17,459
<i>She's outside in the picture</i>

806
00:39:17,543 --> 00:39:19,128
<i>and she's got skates</i>
<i>over her shoulder.</i>

807
00:39:19,211 --> 00:39:22,006
Really?
Who is she?

808
00:39:22,089 --> 00:39:23,549
That could be his soft spot.

809
00:39:23,632 --> 00:39:25,134
<i>Yeah, that's what</i>
<i>I was thinking.</i>

810
00:39:25,217 --> 00:39:26,510
He says it's his daughter.

811
00:39:26,594 --> 00:39:29,430
I know he's divorced because
his ex‐wife calls

812
00:39:29,555 --> 00:39:31,307
once in a while and
announces the fact

813
00:39:31,390 --> 00:39:34,184
<i>that she's his ex pretty</i>
<i>definitively.</i>

814
00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:35,853
Well, that's great.

815
00:39:35,978 --> 00:39:37,354
Let me know if you
learn anything more.

816
00:39:37,438 --> 00:39:38,939
<i>Okay, will do.</i>

817
00:39:39,023 --> 00:39:40,149
Thanks, Sheila!

818
00:39:40,232 --> 00:39:41,609

I thought Grace might

The one who works
for the Mayor?

Oh, hey!

836
00:41:03,148 --> 00:41:05,150
Nice outfit.
What're you doing?

837
00:41:05,275 --> 00:41:07,111
‐Helping Beth.
‐I can see that.

838
00:41:07,194 --> 00:41:08,862
Just picking up a
few shifts here and there.

839
00:41:08,946 --> 00:41:10,614
Don't worry, I'll be
there for you.

840
00:41:10,698 --> 00:41:13,492
I'm not worried,
I'm just amused.

841
00:41:13,575 --> 00:41:17,079
By the way,
that suit is adorable.

842
00:41:18,580 --> 00:41:21,834
Whoa, it's so cool!

843
00:41:21,917 --> 00:41:23,502
Grace, this is my
roommate Beth, er...

844
00:41:23,585 --> 00:41:25,462
‐Sheila Sugarplum.
‐Hi, Grace.

845
00:41:25,546 --> 00:41:27,297
You want a
photo with Santa?

846
00:41:27,381 --> 00:41:28,924
Sure. I already wrote
him a letter, though.

847
00:41:29,049 --> 00:41:29,967
So he knows what I want.

848
00:41:30,050 --> 00:41:31,593
Smart.

849
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,929
And this is her Dad.

850
00:41:34,054 --> 00:41:35,264
Very pleased to make your
acquaintance, once again.

851
00:41:35,389 --> 00:41:37,891
Nice to meet you, Sheila.

852
00:41:38,017 --> 00:41:39,727
Courtney, come on, let's
get a picture with Santa.

853
00:41:39,810 --> 00:41:40,894
Okay.

854
00:41:41,770 --> 00:41:44,314
Oh, you guys, so cute.

855
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,900
I love it!
So good!

856
00:41:47,026 --> 00:41:48,986
One more, perfect.

857
00:41:49,111 --> 00:41:51,697
Thank you, Santa.

858
00:41:51,822 --> 00:41:54,658
Grace, Courtney and I
are going to see if we
can find a tree.

859
00:41:54,742 --> 00:41:56,452
Do you mind helping
Sheila for a minute?

860
00:41:56,535 --> 00:41:59,163
‐Yes.
‐Yes, great.

861
00:41:59,246 --> 00:42:01,540
Okay, so we are going
to help our next customers.

862
00:42:01,623 --> 00:42:03,500
But you guys have
a Merry Christmas

863
00:42:03,625 --> 00:42:05,502
and, um, stay off
the naughty list!

864
00:42:05,627 --> 00:42:06,920
(giggles)

865
00:42:07,046 --> 00:42:08,505
Hi, you ready?

866
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:09,923
Thank you.

867
00:42:10,049 --> 00:42:13,343
All right, tell Santa
what you want.

868
00:42:13,469 --> 00:42:16,013
It's not been until
this very moment

869
00:42:16,138 --> 00:42:20,601
I felt like I could actually
be in the Christmas spirit.

870
00:42:20,684 --> 00:42:22,186
So you feel it now?

871
00:42:22,311 --> 00:42:23,812
Yeah.

872
00:42:23,896 --> 00:42:26,982
For the first time in
a long time.

873
00:42:27,107 --> 00:42:28,984
I feel it, too.

874
00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:32,821
What was your Christmas
tradition as a kid?

875
00:42:32,946 --> 00:42:37,576
We had a heavy skating theme for
our Christmas tree decorations.

876
00:42:37,701 --> 00:42:39,286
Ours was hockey.

877
00:42:39,369 --> 00:42:40,788
Not surprising.

878
00:42:42,206 --> 00:42:43,332
What do you and Grace do?

879
00:42:45,334 --> 00:42:50,672
Well, besides the giant blow‐up
Santa on the front lawn?

880
00:42:50,798 --> 00:42:52,257
You have a giant
blow‐up Santa?

881
00:42:52,382 --> 00:42:55,969
Yes, we do.
Grace's choice.

882
00:42:57,554 --> 00:42:58,847
How can I say no?

883
00:42:58,931 --> 00:43:01,016
What do the neighbors
say about that?

884
00:43:01,141 --> 00:43:02,976
They're good sports.

885
00:43:03,060 --> 00:43:06,939
But I mean asides from that,
we're pretty traditional.

886
00:43:08,857 --> 00:43:10,567
Grace likes
gingerbread men.

887
00:43:10,692 --> 00:43:13,487
Gingerbread people...

888
00:43:13,529 --> 00:43:16,740
So we make cookie ornaments
for the tree.

889
00:43:16,865 --> 00:43:19,993
And we decorate them
like her and I,

890
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:23,872
Oma, Ompa,
aunts, and uncles.

891
00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:28,085
And Mom?

892
00:43:29,378 --> 00:43:31,672
Yeah, Mom too.

893
00:43:31,797 --> 00:43:33,882
She's actually the angel
on the top of our tree.

894
00:43:36,051 --> 00:43:39,388
Oh, wow.

895
00:43:41,682 --> 00:43:44,184
I'm sorry.
That is so touching.

896
00:43:44,226 --> 00:43:46,019
Don't apologize.

897
00:43:48,021 --> 00:43:49,064
It gets me too.

898
00:43:50,315 --> 00:43:52,568
It was Grace's idea.

899
00:43:52,693 --> 00:43:55,070
It was?

900
00:43:55,195 --> 00:43:56,238
Yeah.

901
00:43:57,698 --> 00:44:00,742
How does she handle it?
Not having her mom around.

902
00:44:02,244 --> 00:44:04,705
She's a trouper.

903
00:44:04,830 --> 00:44:07,666
I think she mostly remembers
the memories I tell her

904
00:44:07,749 --> 00:44:09,376
and the pictures I have.

905
00:44:12,045 --> 00:44:15,632
That's how we keep
her alive, in our hearts.

906
00:44:19,344 --> 00:44:21,555
We don't have to talk about it
if it makes you uncomfortable.

907
00:44:21,638 --> 00:44:23,182
No, no.

908
00:44:24,224 --> 00:44:25,809
No, it's good.

909
00:44:26,810 --> 00:44:29,313
Honestly, I, um...

910
00:44:30,522 --> 00:44:33,567
I haven't had anyone

911
00:44:33,650 --> 00:44:36,320
I felt comfortable
talking to.

912
00:44:36,403 --> 00:44:37,404
Really?

913
00:44:40,324 --> 00:44:41,325
Yeah, until now.

914
00:44:49,208 --> 00:44:52,085
You guys, I found
a perfect tree!

915
00:44:52,211 --> 00:44:54,296
‐Oh, you did?
‐Yeah, come here.

916
00:44:54,379 --> 00:44:56,173

They're gonna be so good.

926
00:45:33,043 --> 00:45:35,254
So good.

927
00:45:35,379 --> 00:45:39,216
So do you save the Christmas
ornaments every year?

928
00:45:39,341 --> 00:45:42,970
We tried that one year
and a mouse ate them.

929
00:45:43,053 --> 00:45:46,515
What? Must have been
one happy mouse!

930
00:45:46,598 --> 00:45:49,017
It was a big mess.

931
00:45:49,142 --> 00:45:50,769
I'll bet!

932
00:45:50,894 --> 00:45:52,187
We'll have to make
you this year, Courtney.

933
00:45:52,271 --> 00:45:54,022
Really?

934
00:45:54,106 --> 00:45:56,316
I thought it was just family.

935
00:45:56,441 --> 00:45:58,986
Family and
special people.

936
00:45:59,069 --> 00:46:00,654
Aw...

937
00:46:00,779 --> 00:46:04,950

Oh, wow.
A place of honor.

947
00:46:47,534 --> 00:46:50,162
You deserve it.

948
00:46:50,245 --> 00:46:54,249
And then I'll put me
right next to you.

949
00:46:58,420 --> 00:47:01,340
And Daddy on the other side.

950
00:47:03,091 --> 00:47:05,093
Out of the mouths of babes.

951
00:47:06,219 --> 00:47:08,096
‐What's that mean Daddy?
‐Nothing.

952
00:47:10,515 --> 00:47:13,226
We're going to have a
Merry Christmas this year.

953
00:47:13,352 --> 00:47:15,520
I can feel it.

954
00:47:15,604 --> 00:47:17,564
Me too, sweetheart.

955
00:47:17,689 --> 00:47:18,815
Me too.

956
00:47:19,649 --> 00:47:23,570
Oh, and we have Mom.

957
00:47:23,695 --> 00:47:25,530
Our angel.

958
00:47:25,655 --> 00:47:27,366
Our angel.

959
00:47:27,491 --> 00:47:29,785
‐Let me.
‐Okay.

960
00:47:29,868 --> 00:47:34,164
Three, two, one,
blastoff!

961
00:47:34,247 --> 00:47:35,957
There you go.

962
00:48:02,234 --> 00:48:03,402
What's this?

963
00:48:05,404 --> 00:48:06,696
Well, you've been getting
so many Christmas cards

964
00:48:06,822 --> 00:48:08,657
I thought I would display a few.

965
00:48:08,698 --> 00:48:09,908
A few?

966
00:48:10,033 --> 00:48:11,326
Yeah. There's a bunch
more here.

967
00:48:11,410 --> 00:48:13,412
Guess a lot of people
just want to wish you

968
00:48:13,537 --> 00:48:14,538
a Merry Christmas this year.

969
00:48:17,499 --> 00:48:18,458
Take these down.

970
00:48:18,542 --> 00:48:20,961
‐But sir...
‐Now!

971
00:48:23,713 --> 00:48:25,215
Well, humbug to you too.

972
00:48:32,431 --> 00:48:34,558
Hey. Here he comes.

973
00:48:43,817 --> 00:48:44,818
Courtney!

974
00:48:44,943 --> 00:48:46,445
Oh, Mr. Greenwood.

975
00:48:46,528 --> 00:48:48,155
You're just the person
I was looking to talk to.

976
00:48:48,238 --> 00:48:50,907
Well, then this
is fortuitous timing.

977
00:48:51,032 --> 00:48:52,159
What's the meaning
of this?

978
00:48:52,284 --> 00:48:53,994
Excuse me, I'm not
sure I understand?

979
00:48:54,077 --> 00:48:56,329
I'm being flooded
with Christmas cards.

980
00:48:56,455 --> 00:48:57,914
How nice.

981
00:48:58,039 --> 00:49:00,750
And all of them say
"I want to save the Oval".

982
00:49:00,876 --> 00:49:02,294
Who have you been talking to?

983
00:49:02,377 --> 00:49:03,837
I may have mentioned
to a few people

984
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:04,921
that the city wants
to shut it down.

985
00:49:05,046 --> 00:49:06,465
Oh, that's very nice,

986
00:49:06,548 --> 00:49:08,383
but it won't change the fact
that we can't afford

987
00:49:08,508 --> 00:49:09,676
to keep it running.

988
00:49:09,801 --> 00:49:11,803
We'll see.

989
00:49:11,887 --> 00:49:13,972
And what're you doing
with all those kids
out there this morning?

990
00:49:14,055 --> 00:49:16,641
I already told you
the Christmas Carnival
is not happening.

991
00:49:16,725 --> 00:49:19,853
I'm still counting on my
Christmas miracle, Mr. Mayor.

992
00:49:19,936 --> 00:49:21,354
Mr. Greenwood!

993
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:22,898
Rena Blackstone from
the Telegram & Gazette.

994
00:49:23,023 --> 00:49:24,524
Yes, of course,
Rena, hi.

995
00:49:24,608 --> 00:49:26,985
Is it true that you are
thinking of pulling

996
00:49:27,068 --> 00:49:28,820
the city's funding
for the Skating Oval?

997
00:49:28,904 --> 00:49:32,157
I'm not prepared to talk about
the city's budget issues.

998
00:49:32,240 --> 00:49:34,367
right at the moment,
that's a work in progress.

999
00:49:34,493 --> 00:49:36,995
Well, we had a report
that you've received

1000
00:49:37,078 --> 00:49:39,372
more than 1000 Christmas
cards from citizens

1001
00:49:39,456 --> 00:49:41,416
who all want to
save the Skating Oval.

1002
00:49:41,541 --> 00:49:43,001
Do you care to comment?

1003
00:49:43,084 --> 00:49:44,669
Well, I can't confirm
the number

1004
00:49:44,753 --> 00:49:47,088
but we have received quite
a lot of Christmas cards.

1005
00:49:47,214 --> 00:49:48,715
We do every Christmas.

1006
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,261
But were they specifically
supporting the Skating Oval?

1007
00:49:53,386 --> 00:49:55,180
As a matter of fact
some of them are.

1008
00:49:55,263 --> 00:49:56,932
I was just discussing
that with Ms. Bennett

1009
00:49:57,015 --> 00:50:01,228
who as I'm sure
you know runs the Oval.

1010
00:50:01,353 --> 00:50:03,772
Are those some of
the cards there?

1011
00:50:21,581 --> 00:50:23,917
This is a PR nightmare.

1012
00:50:24,042 --> 00:50:25,210
We're just trying to
run the city

1013
00:50:25,335 --> 00:50:26,670
in a responsible way
and now this!

1014
00:50:28,505 --> 00:50:30,840
You gotta admit,
it's a pretty clever idea.

1015
00:50:30,924 --> 00:50:32,676
I don't care how
clever it is.

1016
00:50:32,759 --> 00:50:35,303
Bottom line is
we can't afford it.

1017
00:50:35,387 --> 00:50:38,139
Have you ever skated out there?
It's pretty special.

1018
00:50:38,223 --> 00:50:41,685
No. And I don't intend to.

1019
00:50:41,726 --> 00:50:44,187
I'm not going to let some
figure skater make me look bad.

1020
00:50:45,272 --> 00:50:47,399
Might be a bit late for that.

1021
00:50:52,445 --> 00:50:55,323
Well, that's why
I need your help.

1022
00:50:55,448 --> 00:50:57,325
We got to save some face here,

1023
00:50:57,409 --> 00:50:59,703
we got to throw
the Carnival.

1024
00:50:59,828 --> 00:51:01,204
Great, happy to help.

1025
00:51:01,288 --> 00:51:03,957
I want you to do it
at your place.

1026
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,333
No, no, wait a minute...

1027
00:51:05,417 --> 00:51:07,168
No, it's going to be great.

1028
00:51:07,210 --> 00:51:10,338
A huge celebration as part
of your grand opening!

1029
00:51:12,090 --> 00:51:14,092
You can absorb
the cost, right?

1030
00:51:15,885 --> 00:51:17,345
Aye, good man.
Thank you.

1031
00:51:19,598 --> 00:51:22,100
Yeah, he's in there
right now...

1032
00:51:22,183 --> 00:51:23,351
I'll let you know
if I learn anything.

1033
00:51:24,269 --> 00:51:28,148
Yeah. Gotta go.
Bye.

1034
00:51:28,189 --> 00:51:29,733
‐Bye, Noah.
‐Bye, Beth.

1035
00:51:33,194 --> 00:51:34,738
That was weird.

1036
00:51:36,740 --> 00:51:38,700
You ready, girls?

1037
00:51:38,783 --> 00:51:39,993
Yeah.

1038
00:51:40,076 --> 00:51:41,745
Has anybody seen Grace?

1039
00:51:45,707 --> 00:51:47,751
Well, let's get out there.

1040
00:51:47,876 --> 00:51:49,085
Have fun.

1041
00:51:53,923 --> 00:51:56,468
(chuckling)

1042
00:52:00,347 --> 00:52:02,682
‐Hey!
‐Hi. What's this?

1043
00:52:02,807 --> 00:52:04,184
I took your advice.

1044
00:52:04,267 --> 00:52:05,894
I'm putting together a book.

1045
00:52:06,019 --> 00:52:08,730
‐Crying babies with Santa?
‐Mm‐hmm.

1046
00:52:08,855 --> 00:52:10,815
Remember my uncle who
runs a publishing company?

1047
00:52:10,899 --> 00:52:12,984
Yeah, so I told him
the idea and he loves it.

1048
00:52:13,068 --> 00:52:14,861
Oh my gosh, that's brilliant!

1049
00:52:14,944 --> 00:52:16,446
You're gonna sell
millions of these.

1050
00:52:16,529 --> 00:52:18,031
I hope so!

1051
00:52:18,156 --> 00:52:21,493
And I want to donate half the
proceeds to the Skating Oval.

1052
00:52:21,576 --> 00:52:25,038
Beth, that is ridiculously
generous of you,

1053
00:52:25,163 --> 00:52:27,165
and absolutely
not necessary.

1054
00:52:27,290 --> 00:52:28,917
Get your book
published first.

1055
00:52:29,042 --> 00:52:31,044
We'll figure this out.

1056
00:52:31,127 --> 00:52:33,129
Here's one for you.

1057
00:52:35,924 --> 00:52:39,177
Oh, it's so cute.
Thank you.

1058
00:52:39,219 --> 00:52:41,388
Yeah. Oh, so by the way.

1059
00:52:41,513 --> 00:52:43,098
I was looking at the
city's budget today

1060
00:52:43,223 --> 00:52:44,349
and noticed something.

1061
00:52:44,474 --> 00:52:45,892
What?

1062
00:52:46,017 --> 00:52:47,686
The Skating Oval's funding
falls under Parks and
Recreation.

1063
00:52:47,811 --> 00:52:49,187
That makes sense.

1064
00:52:49,270 --> 00:52:51,314
And the Parks and Rec
budget is pretty tight.

1065
00:52:51,356 --> 00:52:52,899
I can see why
they're looking to cut.

1066
00:52:53,024 --> 00:52:54,651
Yeah.

1067
00:52:54,776 --> 00:52:58,405
But, there is a separate line
item for memorials and statues.

1068
00:52:58,530 --> 00:52:59,364
Really...

1069
00:52:59,489 --> 00:53:01,491
And there's a surplus
right now.

1070
00:53:01,574 --> 00:53:03,993
Guess we haven't been erecting
any war memorials recently.

1071
00:53:04,077 --> 00:53:07,330
Huh. Good to know.

1072
00:53:07,455 --> 00:53:08,331
Mm‐hmm.

1073
00:53:08,456 --> 00:53:10,959
And then there's
something else.

1074
00:53:11,042 --> 00:53:13,920
It's probably nothing, but

1075
00:53:14,003 --> 00:53:16,798
Noah was really cold when he
left the Mayor's office today.

1076
00:53:16,881 --> 00:53:18,383
Cold?

1077
00:53:18,508 --> 00:53:20,927
Yeah, like he barely
even acknowledged me.

1078
00:53:21,052 --> 00:53:22,679
That's strange.

1079
00:53:22,721 --> 00:53:25,181
I know. Like I said,
it's probably nothing.

1080
00:53:25,265 --> 00:53:27,016
Grace wasn't at
class today, either.

1081
00:53:27,142 --> 00:53:28,685
Really?

1082
00:53:28,768 --> 00:53:30,770
Yeah.

1083
00:53:30,895 --> 00:53:32,188
Hmm.

1084
00:54:02,552 --> 00:54:05,638
<i>Hi, this is Noah, you know</i>
<i>what to do after the beep.</i>

1085
00:54:05,722 --> 00:54:06,890
(phone beeps)

1086
00:54:07,015 --> 00:54:08,683
Hi, it's me, Courtney.

1087
00:54:08,808 --> 00:54:10,852
Missed you and Grace
at class today.

1088
00:54:10,977 --> 00:54:14,481
Just wanted to make
sure everything is okay...

1089
00:54:14,606 --> 00:54:16,232
Okay, bye.

1090
00:54:17,859 --> 00:54:19,569
Hey.

1091
00:54:19,694 --> 00:54:21,029
Hey, so what's up with
the Christmas Carnival?

1092
00:54:21,112 --> 00:54:22,655
You tell me.

1093
00:54:22,781 --> 00:54:24,574
I just got a call from
somebody at Noah's Ice Center

1094
00:54:24,699 --> 00:54:27,577
about booking me and Santa
there, not at the Oval.

1095
00:54:27,702 --> 00:54:28,620
What?!

1096
00:54:28,703 --> 00:54:29,788
(mutters)

1097
00:54:57,857 --> 00:54:59,442
Hey! Noah!

1098
00:54:59,526 --> 00:55:01,528
What the heck is this?

1099
00:55:03,112 --> 00:55:04,823
I've been meaning to talk
to you about that, Courtney.

1100
00:55:04,948 --> 00:55:06,241
How could you?

1101
00:55:06,366 --> 00:55:07,742
I thought we were
getting kind of close.

1102
00:55:07,867 --> 00:55:09,744
I thought maybe I meant
something to you.

1103
00:55:09,869 --> 00:55:11,371
We were, you do.

1104
00:55:11,496 --> 00:55:12,664
Then why would
you agree to hold

1105
00:55:12,747 --> 00:55:14,707
the Christmas Carnival
at your place?

1106
00:55:14,833 --> 00:55:15,917
Because the Mayor
asked me to.

1107
00:55:16,042 --> 00:55:16,918
You betrayed me.

1108
00:55:17,043 --> 00:55:18,253
No, Courtney.

1109
00:55:18,336 --> 00:55:19,504
Understand,
I didn't betray you.

1110
00:55:19,629 --> 00:55:21,005
How could I possibly
understand that?

1111
00:55:21,089 --> 00:55:22,715
You don't know
the whole story.

1112
00:55:22,841 --> 00:55:24,217
And why is that Noah?

1113
00:55:24,300 --> 00:55:26,344
Because I haven't
told it to you.

1114
00:55:28,638 --> 00:55:32,100
This job and that Skating Oval
mean the world to me.

1115
00:55:32,225 --> 00:55:33,852
And it breaks my heart
to think that kids

1116
00:55:33,935 --> 00:55:36,396
like Grace won't have
a chance to enjoy it.

1117
00:55:36,479 --> 00:55:37,689
Courtney, listen...

1118
00:55:37,814 --> 00:55:40,400
‐Goodbye, Noah.
‐Please, Courtney.

1119
00:56:10,221 --> 00:56:11,598
(gasps)

1120
00:56:19,022 --> 00:56:20,732
(sighs)

1121
00:56:22,025 --> 00:56:23,860
Courtney?

1122
00:56:23,985 --> 00:56:25,361
Is that you?

1123
00:56:27,030 --> 00:56:29,866
Courtney... Hey!

1124
00:56:29,949 --> 00:56:31,784
Courtney!

1125
00:56:33,411 --> 00:56:34,621
Are you all right?

1126
00:56:34,704 --> 00:56:37,290
I'm fine.
It's just my knee.

1127
00:56:37,373 --> 00:56:38,541
Ooh, um...

1128
00:56:38,666 --> 00:56:41,044
Here, let me help you up.

1129
00:56:42,879 --> 00:56:44,505
Oof.

1130
00:56:44,631 --> 00:56:47,300
Oh, that looks...

1131
00:56:47,383 --> 00:56:48,384
Yeah, here, get you
arm around me.

1132
00:56:48,509 --> 00:56:50,428
‐Thank you.
‐Yeah.

1133
00:56:50,553 --> 00:56:52,764
‐How's it feel?
‐Oh! Not good.

1134
00:56:52,889 --> 00:56:55,516
Okay. I'll get you
to a hospital.

1135
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:56,768
No, no, no, just take me home.

1136
00:56:56,893 --> 00:56:58,519
‐Really?
‐Yeah. I'll be fine.

1137
00:56:58,603 --> 00:57:00,647
I can't deal with
the hospital right now.

1138
00:57:00,730 --> 00:57:01,606
Okay.

1139
00:57:01,689 --> 00:57:03,066
Oh!

1140
00:57:08,821 --> 00:57:10,657
(door opens)

1141
00:57:16,162 --> 00:57:17,997
Hey, sunshine!

1142
00:57:18,122 --> 00:57:19,332
‐Hi.
‐How'd you sleep?

1143
00:57:19,457 --> 00:57:21,042
I'm not sure I did.

1144
00:57:21,167 --> 00:57:23,086
You did.

1145
00:57:23,211 --> 00:57:25,630
I got you an MRI appointment
for later this afternoon.

1146
00:57:25,713 --> 00:57:29,217
Whoa. How'd you do that so fast?
What time is it?

1147
00:57:29,342 --> 00:57:30,885
Well, it's almost noon and
it helps

1148
00:57:31,010 --> 00:57:32,679
when you call
from the Mayor's office.

1149
00:57:32,762 --> 00:57:33,930
Noon?

1150
00:57:34,055 --> 00:57:36,182
Oh, my goodness.
I guess I did sleep.

1151
00:57:36,265 --> 00:57:38,935
Yeah.
How's the knee feel?

1152
00:57:39,060 --> 00:57:40,645
Like a balloon.

1153
00:57:40,728 --> 00:57:41,854
Oh, honey.
I'll get you some more ice.

1154
00:57:44,524 --> 00:57:47,402
Trevor was so sweet
to bring me home last night.

1155
00:57:47,527 --> 00:57:49,570
Did I hear somebody
say my name?

1156
00:57:49,696 --> 00:57:52,532
Oh, good morning Trevor.

1157
00:57:53,574 --> 00:57:55,952
It's the afternoon.

1158
00:57:56,035 --> 00:57:56,995
Right.

1159
00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:01,082
Oh.

1160
00:58:02,208 --> 00:58:04,210
Oh, you might
not want to see that.

1161
00:58:04,335 --> 00:58:06,004
I've already read it.

1162
00:58:06,087 --> 00:58:09,007
I guess we know why
he was ghosting you.

1163
00:58:09,132 --> 00:58:10,299
How could he do this?

1164
00:58:10,383 --> 00:58:12,760
He knows what this
means to me.

1165
00:58:12,885 --> 00:58:14,679
My guess is that
he didn't have a choice.

1166
00:58:14,762 --> 00:58:17,098
Of course he had a choice.
You always have a choice.

1167
00:58:18,725 --> 00:58:20,643
‐Wait a sec?
‐What?

1168
00:58:20,727 --> 00:58:23,104
If Trevor is here,
who is at the Oval?

1169
00:58:23,229 --> 00:58:24,731
I closed it for the day.

1170
00:58:24,856 --> 00:58:27,025
‐What!?
‐You were in no shape
to go to work.

1171
00:58:27,150 --> 00:58:28,609
What should I have done?

1172
00:58:28,693 --> 00:58:31,904
That's exactly what they want!
A closed rink.

1173
00:58:33,281 --> 00:58:34,824
Where do you think
you are going?

1174
00:58:34,907 --> 00:58:36,367
To work.

1175
00:58:36,492 --> 00:58:38,786
Wait. Take your ice!

1176
00:58:42,290 --> 00:58:43,916
Thanks for the lift.

1177
00:58:44,792 --> 00:58:46,711
So what exactly did they say?

1178
00:58:46,836 --> 00:58:49,964
It was just an MRI technician.

1179
00:58:50,048 --> 00:58:51,716
Yeah, and...

1180
00:58:51,841 --> 00:58:53,718
We won't know anything
until my doctor

1181
00:58:53,843 --> 00:58:56,637
‐takes a look at it next week.
‐Ugh. Well, how's it feel?

1182
00:58:56,721 --> 00:58:59,515
Like I twisted it.
It's going to be fine.

1183
00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:02,018
You athletes are
so stubbornly stoic.

1184
00:59:02,143 --> 00:59:05,354
Your leg could be falling
off and you'd be like...

1185
00:59:05,438 --> 00:59:09,192
Mm‐mm, put me
in coach, I'm fine.

1186
00:59:09,317 --> 00:59:10,526
Yeah, so?

1187
00:59:12,820 --> 00:59:15,656
So are you sure
you want to do this?

1188
00:59:15,740 --> 00:59:17,700
What? Go to Noah's house?

1189
00:59:17,825 --> 00:59:18,951
No.

1190
00:59:19,035 --> 00:59:22,080
But give Grace
her present, yes.

1191
00:59:32,006 --> 00:59:34,425
Just wait here.
I won't be long.

1192
00:59:34,550 --> 00:59:35,968
I'm not going anywhere.

1193
00:59:41,224 --> 00:59:42,850
‐Got it?
‐Yeah.

1194
00:59:58,491 --> 00:59:59,826
Oh, Courtney! Hi!

1195
00:59:59,951 --> 01:00:02,203
Hi, Grace.
I've missed you at class.

1196
01:00:02,286 --> 01:00:03,579
Me, too!

1197
01:00:03,704 --> 01:00:05,498
What happened?
Are you okay?

1198
01:00:05,623 --> 01:00:07,667
Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

1199
01:00:07,750 --> 01:00:08,876
Dad! Courtney's here.

1200
01:00:09,001 --> 01:00:10,586
Come on in.

1201
01:00:17,969 --> 01:00:21,180
I really just stopped
by to give you this.

1202
01:00:21,305 --> 01:00:22,598
Thanks.

1203
01:00:22,723 --> 01:00:24,767
Should I open it now?

1204
01:00:29,272 --> 01:00:32,066
No. No, you should wait
until Christmas day.

1205
01:00:33,067 --> 01:00:35,987
Hey, Courtney.
What happened. You okay?

1206
01:00:36,070 --> 01:00:37,655
I'm fine.

1207
01:00:37,780 --> 01:00:39,824
I just stopped by to give
Grace her Christmas present.

1208
01:00:39,949 --> 01:00:41,826
We really miss her at class.

1209
01:00:41,909 --> 01:00:43,035
Can I go back, Dad?

1210
01:00:45,413 --> 01:00:47,123
We're still rehearsing

1211
01:00:47,206 --> 01:00:48,833
even though it looks
like there won't be

1212
01:00:48,958 --> 01:00:50,334
any Christmas Carnival
at the Oval.

1213
01:00:50,459 --> 01:00:52,795
No Carnival?

1214
01:00:52,879 --> 01:00:56,007
No, the city moved
it to your Dad's place.

1215
01:00:56,132 --> 01:00:58,509
We can't we do
the show at the Oval?

1216
01:00:58,593 --> 01:00:59,927
I'm afraid not.

1217
01:01:00,845 --> 01:01:02,680
Not unless your Dad
and I can

1218
01:01:02,805 --> 01:01:04,265
get the Mayor to reconsider.

1219
01:01:04,390 --> 01:01:06,809
Dad, I'll talk to him.

1220
01:01:06,893 --> 01:01:08,769
Unfortunately,
it's a little late.

1221
01:01:08,895 --> 01:01:10,688
I'm sorry, sweetheart.

1222
01:01:10,771 --> 01:01:12,440
Please Dad, let me
talk to him.

1223
01:01:12,523 --> 01:01:14,650
I want to do
the show at the Oval.

1224
01:01:15,818 --> 01:01:17,486
I really tried.

1225
01:01:17,570 --> 01:01:19,822
I'm sorry.

1226
01:01:19,906 --> 01:01:22,408
Merry Christmas, Grace.

1227
01:01:30,249 --> 01:01:32,418
Merry Christmas, Courtney.

1228
01:01:37,673 --> 01:01:40,760
Hey.
How'd it go?

1229
01:01:44,972 --> 01:01:46,224
Go.

1230
01:01:46,349 --> 01:01:47,683
You okay?

1231
01:01:47,767 --> 01:01:48,976
Just go, please.

1232
01:02:01,697 --> 01:02:03,741
Who is this girl?

1233
01:02:03,866 --> 01:02:07,161
That's the girl from
Mayor Greenwood's office.

1234
01:02:07,245 --> 01:02:08,162
That's his daughter.

1235
01:02:08,287 --> 01:02:09,622
Exactly.

1236
01:02:09,705 --> 01:02:11,916
What's the same photo
doing in Noah's house?

1237
01:02:12,041 --> 01:02:12,917
It is?

1238
01:02:13,042 --> 01:02:14,919
Yeah, right in
the front hall.

1239
01:02:15,044 --> 01:02:16,420
I don't know how
I never noticed it before.

1240
01:02:16,545 --> 01:02:19,799
‐That's weird.
‐Right?

1241
01:02:19,882 --> 01:02:24,011
And wait a second, Grace said
she could talk to the Mayor.

1242
01:02:24,095 --> 01:02:26,430
She did?

1243
01:02:26,555 --> 01:02:29,350
And what does Ompa mean?

1244
01:02:29,433 --> 01:02:31,227
Ompa?

1245
01:02:31,352 --> 01:02:33,312
Yeah, I remember
When I first met Grace

1246
01:02:33,396 --> 01:02:36,816
she said that her Ompa
worked for the city.

1247
01:02:36,941 --> 01:02:40,403
I think it's a
pet name for Grandpa.

1248
01:02:44,824 --> 01:02:46,784
Do a Google search
of images of Noah.

1249
01:02:46,867 --> 01:02:49,662
See if anything comes up.

1250
01:02:49,787 --> 01:02:52,581
There are a bunch of
him playing hockey...

1251
01:02:52,707 --> 01:02:55,459
Oh, wait a second.
That must be his wife.

1252
01:02:55,543 --> 01:02:57,628
He doesn't have any pictures
of his wife in their house?

1253
01:02:57,712 --> 01:02:59,422
He must, I just
didn't look closely.

1254
01:02:59,547 --> 01:03:01,173
Figured it was private.

1255
01:03:01,299 --> 01:03:02,758
Plus a little awkward.

1256
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,306
She looks kind of like
the girl in the photo.

1257
01:03:11,267 --> 01:03:12,435
Yeah, she does...

1258
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,353
Wait a sec.

1259
01:03:19,025 --> 01:03:20,443
Oh, my goodness.
That's it.

1260
01:03:20,526 --> 01:03:22,653
What?

1261
01:03:22,737 --> 01:03:24,613
We were right.

1262
01:03:24,697 --> 01:03:26,866
What? Show me.

1263
01:03:26,991 --> 01:03:28,617
She was the Mayor's daughter.

1264
01:03:28,701 --> 01:03:29,618
Which makes Noah...

1265
01:03:29,702 --> 01:03:31,162
The mayor's son‐in‐law

1266
01:03:31,245 --> 01:03:33,664
and Grace is the
Mayor's grand‐daughter.

1267
01:03:33,789 --> 01:03:36,000
Oh wow...

1268
01:03:36,042 --> 01:03:37,460
It all makes total sense.

1269
01:03:37,543 --> 01:03:38,961
It sure does.

1270
01:03:41,881 --> 01:03:44,508
She died of Melanoma.

1271
01:03:44,633 --> 01:03:47,345
Melanoma?
Oh, that's awful.

1272
01:03:49,930 --> 01:03:51,349
So what do we do now?

1273
01:03:57,938 --> 01:03:59,690
your daughter, Mr. Mayor.

1274
01:03:59,815 --> 01:04:02,485
Thank you.

1275
01:04:02,610 --> 01:04:04,487
Melanoma runs
in my family, too.

1276
01:04:06,197 --> 01:04:07,698
Listen, I appreciate
your concern

1277
01:04:07,823 --> 01:04:10,034
but what is
this all about?

1278
01:04:11,077 --> 01:04:13,454
I can't believe
I just figured it out...

1279
01:04:13,537 --> 01:04:15,998
why you didn't fight
harder to save the Oval.

1280
01:04:16,082 --> 01:04:18,125
Why you're moving
the Christmas Carnival
to Noah's place.

1281
01:04:18,209 --> 01:04:20,169
I fought as hard as I could.

1282
01:04:20,252 --> 01:04:21,796
The bottom line
is the bottom line.

1283
01:04:21,879 --> 01:04:24,006
We can't afford it.

1284
01:04:25,758 --> 01:04:28,219
I saw the same photo
at Noah's house.

1285
01:04:30,304 --> 01:04:33,849
So, what, are you going
to sic your reporter friend

1286
01:04:33,933 --> 01:04:35,101
from the Telegram
on me again?

1287
01:04:35,226 --> 01:04:37,061
Call it rampant nepotism?

1288
01:04:37,144 --> 01:04:38,604
No, Mr. Mayor, no.

1289
01:04:42,650 --> 01:04:47,321
Losing Sarah was
the hardest thing

1290
01:04:47,405 --> 01:04:49,615
I've ever had to face
in my entire life.

1291
01:04:52,201 --> 01:04:54,662
I'm so sorry,
Mr. Greenwood.

1292
01:04:54,787 --> 01:04:56,163
I really am.

1293
01:04:59,708 --> 01:05:02,086
She was an ice skater,
wasn't she?

1294
01:05:03,504 --> 01:05:05,089
Yes, she was.

1295
01:05:15,724 --> 01:05:18,018
I taught her myself up
at Comet pond.

1296
01:05:19,562 --> 01:05:24,150
Some of my happiest
memories are of skating

1297
01:05:24,233 --> 01:05:26,652
with Sarah at the pond...

1298
01:05:30,156 --> 01:05:31,532
...at Christmas time.

1299
01:05:33,868 --> 01:05:35,911
I have an idea
I'd like to propose.

1300
01:05:36,036 --> 01:05:39,123
And what might that be?

1301
01:05:39,206 --> 01:05:43,169
I'd like to name
the Skating Oval after Sarah.

1302
01:05:43,252 --> 01:05:46,714
I'd like to make it the
Sarah Tremblay memorial rink.

1303
01:05:46,839 --> 01:05:51,552
The Christmas Carnival could
be a fundraiser for Melanoma.

1304
01:05:51,677 --> 01:05:53,179
Each year the extra proceeds

1305
01:05:53,262 --> 01:05:56,932
could be donated in her
name to Melanoma research.

1306
01:05:57,057 --> 01:06:00,394
Mr. Mayor, I studied
the city budget

1307
01:06:00,519 --> 01:06:01,770
and there might be a way
to take the rink

1308
01:06:01,854 --> 01:06:03,147
off of parks and rec

1309
01:06:03,272 --> 01:06:04,982
and fund it with money
appropriated

1310
01:06:05,107 --> 01:06:06,567
for statues and memorials,

1311
01:06:06,692 --> 01:06:09,195
which hasn't been
tapped for a few years.

1312
01:06:11,071 --> 01:06:12,740
You've done your homework.

1313
01:06:12,865 --> 01:06:14,825
Yes, sir.

1314
01:06:14,950 --> 01:06:16,160
What do you think?

1315
01:06:19,079 --> 01:06:21,624
You'd need a citizen's petition.

1316
01:06:21,707 --> 01:06:24,960
I got over a thousand people to
send Christmas Cards, didn't I?

1317
01:06:26,879 --> 01:06:28,130
Yes, you did.

1318
01:06:28,214 --> 01:06:30,424
I'll get the signatures.

1319
01:06:30,549 --> 01:06:33,260
But it's too late to change
the venue for the carnival.

1320
01:06:33,385 --> 01:06:35,012
The vendors are already...

1321
01:06:35,095 --> 01:06:37,181
I think Noah can
help me there.

1322
01:06:37,264 --> 01:06:41,268
I told you, Mr. Mayor, I
believe in Christmas miracles.

1323
01:06:45,606 --> 01:06:47,608
You're starting to
make me believe, too.

1324
01:06:49,276 --> 01:06:52,321
But, I can't take your
proposal to the city council.

1325
01:06:52,404 --> 01:06:54,198
Why not?

1326
01:06:54,281 --> 01:06:56,158
Because it's in
my daughter's name.

1327
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:59,787
Oh, right, of course.
That could be misconstrued.

1328
01:06:59,870 --> 01:07:02,581
But you could.

1329
01:07:02,706 --> 01:07:03,749
Me?

1330
01:07:06,544 --> 01:07:11,090
City council meeting
is tomorrow.

1331
01:07:11,173 --> 01:07:13,008
I'll put you on the agenda.

1332
01:07:32,611 --> 01:07:33,571
Hey.

1333
01:07:33,654 --> 01:07:35,155
Hey.

1334
01:07:43,205 --> 01:07:44,707
How's the knee?

1335
01:07:44,832 --> 01:07:45,833
It's fine.

1336
01:07:45,916 --> 01:07:47,334
Nothing's torn, just a sprain.

1337
01:07:48,544 --> 01:07:49,962
You are tough, huh?

1338
01:07:50,045 --> 01:07:51,964
I spoke to your Father‐in‐law.

1339
01:07:52,047 --> 01:07:52,923
You did?

1340
01:07:53,048 --> 01:07:54,258
Why didn't you tell me?

1341
01:07:54,383 --> 01:07:55,884
Look, I didn't want you
to think

1342
01:07:55,968 --> 01:07:57,595
I was getting
special consideration.

1343
01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,514
And you didn't?

1344
01:08:00,598 --> 01:08:02,850
Look, I didn't come here
to get mad at you again

1345
01:08:02,933 --> 01:08:04,602
and we don't have much time.

1346
01:08:04,727 --> 01:08:06,562
For what?

1347
01:08:06,687 --> 01:08:09,315
There's an alternate way
to fund the rink.

1348
01:08:09,398 --> 01:08:10,983
Look, Courtney, I want to

1349
01:08:11,066 --> 01:08:12,651
save the Skating Oval
as much as anyone.

1350
01:08:12,776 --> 01:08:14,153
Especially now
that I know you.

1351
01:08:14,278 --> 01:08:16,488
And Calvin does, too,
his hands are just tied.

1352
01:08:16,614 --> 01:08:18,115
Exactly.

1353
01:08:18,198 --> 01:08:19,742
Which is why I'm going before
the city council tomorrow

1354
01:08:19,867 --> 01:08:20,909
with a proposal.

1355
01:08:21,035 --> 01:08:22,161
Really?

1356
01:08:22,244 --> 01:08:24,204
You have to be okay
with this idea.

1357
01:08:24,330 --> 01:08:27,666
And, if it works I'm going
to need your help.

1358
01:08:27,750 --> 01:08:29,835
Okay...

1359
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:31,128
If we can work together,
we can throw

1360
01:08:31,211 --> 01:08:33,756
the best Christmas
Carnival ever.

1361
01:08:36,050 --> 01:08:37,885
Here's my plan...

1362
01:08:42,389 --> 01:08:46,602
As I told Mayor Greenwood,
I believe in Christmas miracles.

1363
01:08:46,685 --> 01:08:50,189
And I believe
in the Skating Oval...

1364
01:08:50,314 --> 01:08:54,151
its purpose as a gathering
place for public recreation,

1365
01:08:54,234 --> 01:08:56,028
its goal as the center‐piece

1366
01:08:56,153 --> 01:08:58,322
of the downtown
revitalization effort,

1367
01:08:58,447 --> 01:09:03,410
and its gift to
underprivileged children.

1368
01:09:03,535 --> 01:09:06,664
To see it close would
not only cost me my job,

1369
01:09:08,123 --> 01:09:09,667
but it would break my heart.

1370
01:09:11,293 --> 01:09:14,088
Which is why

1371
01:09:14,213 --> 01:09:17,049
I propose re‐dedicating
the Skating Oval

1372
01:09:17,132 --> 01:09:21,679
as a memorial in the name
of Sarah Tremblay

1373
01:09:21,762 --> 01:09:26,934
who tragically lost her life at
far too young an age to cancer.

1374
01:09:27,017 --> 01:09:29,061
Sarah was a native of our city

1375
01:09:29,186 --> 01:09:32,189
who loved the sport
of ice skating,

1376
01:09:32,314 --> 01:09:34,316
she was a young mother,

1377
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:39,405
and she was the daughter
of our beloved Mayor

1378
01:09:39,530 --> 01:09:42,533
who has served this
city with distinction.

1379
01:09:47,663 --> 01:09:50,791
Thank you for considering
this proposal.

1380
01:10:16,191 --> 01:10:17,443
Well?

1381
01:10:19,445 --> 01:10:21,739
That was quite
an impassioned plea.

1382
01:10:21,864 --> 01:10:23,699
It came from the heart.

1383
01:10:23,824 --> 01:10:25,743
I could tell.

1384
01:10:25,868 --> 01:10:26,952
Did they vote?

1385
01:10:27,035 --> 01:10:28,829
Yes, they did.

1386
01:10:30,122 --> 01:10:31,832
You're killing me
here, Mr. Mayor.

1387
01:10:31,957 --> 01:10:32,875
What did they say?

1388
01:10:35,461 --> 01:10:38,130
You have a lot
of work to do.

1389
01:10:38,213 --> 01:10:40,007
They approved it.

1390
01:10:40,090 --> 01:10:41,592
They did?

1391
01:10:41,717 --> 01:10:43,051
Yes, they did.

1392
01:10:43,177 --> 01:10:45,304
Oh, thank you Mr. Greenwood.

1393
01:10:45,387 --> 01:10:48,515
No, thank you.
Please... call me Calvin.

1394
01:10:51,226 --> 01:10:52,728
This means so much.

1395
01:10:57,107 --> 01:10:58,233

Hi, Ompa!
You're doing great!

1410
01:12:09,054 --> 01:12:10,681
Thank you, sweetheart.

1411
01:12:12,558 --> 01:12:14,351
I can't believe I haven't
ever skated out here before.

1412
01:12:14,476 --> 01:12:15,978
This wonderful.

1413
01:12:16,061 --> 01:12:17,646
Not bad, Huh?

1414
01:12:17,729 --> 01:12:20,315
Especially at Christmastime.

1415
01:12:26,947 --> 01:12:28,323
She's a keeper, Noah.

1416
01:12:31,159 --> 01:12:32,327
I know.

1417
01:12:33,996 --> 01:12:35,330
I want you to be happy.

1418
01:12:36,957 --> 01:12:39,668
Sarah will always be
with us in our hearts.

1419
01:12:41,378 --> 01:12:43,088
But I want you to be happy.

1420
01:12:48,051 --> 01:12:49,511
You don't know how
much that means to me.

1421
01:12:52,639 --> 01:12:55,058
This will be a wonderful way
to remember her.

1422
01:12:57,603 --> 01:13:00,898
Yeah, it certainly will.

1423
01:13:04,943 --> 01:13:05,903
(chuckles)

1424
01:13:20,292 --> 01:13:21,710
What do you think?

1425
01:13:21,835 --> 01:13:22,669
It's adorable!

1426
01:13:22,794 --> 01:13:24,880
You look beautiful, sweetheart.

1427
01:13:25,005 --> 01:13:27,174
I can't wait for
the show tomorrow!

1428
01:13:27,299 --> 01:13:29,468
You're going to be so great!

1429
01:13:32,220 --> 01:13:34,014
Thank you.

1430
01:13:34,097 --> 01:13:36,058
Why are you thanking me?

1431
01:13:36,183 --> 01:13:37,768
You're the one that's
making Grace's Christmas.

1432
01:13:37,893 --> 01:13:39,519
I've never seen
her this happy.

1433
01:13:39,603 --> 01:13:42,064
She is so excited,
and that costume is perfect.

1434
01:13:43,774 --> 01:13:47,069
But I wanted to thank you for
sharing this all this with me.

1435
01:13:48,528 --> 01:13:49,988
It's our pleasure.

1436
01:13:50,072 --> 01:13:53,075
I mean, I have a gingerbread
person on your tree.

1437
01:13:54,910 --> 01:13:57,412
Yeah.
It kind of feels like
you belong there...

1438
01:13:58,622 --> 01:14:00,499
Like you belong here.

1439
01:14:01,708 --> 01:14:04,294
Honestly, I do feel
like I belong here.

1440
01:14:04,378 --> 01:14:06,588
I haven't been this happy
in a long time.

1441
01:14:07,923 --> 01:14:09,424
I'm glad.

1442
01:14:12,386 --> 01:14:13,595
Hey!

1443
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,263
Can I have another
cup of hot chocolate?

1444
01:14:15,389 --> 01:14:17,683
Oh, yeah.
Of course you can, honey.

1445
01:14:17,724 --> 01:14:19,142
I'll get it!
I'll get it.

1446
01:14:20,727 --> 01:14:22,229
With marshmallows, please.

1447
01:14:22,312 --> 01:14:23,188
‐Got it.
‐Yes, please.

1448
01:14:23,313 --> 01:14:24,564
Thanks, Courtney.

1449
01:14:24,690 --> 01:14:26,817
Okay Mom, I miss you too.

1450
01:14:26,942 --> 01:14:28,402
Give my love to Dad,

1451
01:14:28,527 --> 01:14:29,820
and tell him I'll
call Christmas morning...

1452
01:14:29,903 --> 01:14:32,572
Okay.
Love you, too, bye.

1453
01:14:34,992 --> 01:14:37,285
Tough being away from home
for Christmas isn't it?

1454
01:14:37,369 --> 01:14:40,205
Yeah.
Christmas is family time.

1455
01:14:40,330 --> 01:14:42,457
‐I really miss them.
‐Me, too.

1456
01:14:42,541 --> 01:14:44,835
But hey, we're like
family, right?

1457
01:14:44,876 --> 01:14:46,336
Yeah, we are.

1458
01:14:46,461 --> 01:14:47,671
Thank you so much.

1459
01:14:47,796 --> 01:14:49,089
I couldn't have done
this without you.

1460
01:14:49,214 --> 01:14:50,382
Ah, no, it was nothing.

1461
01:14:50,507 --> 01:14:52,175
And hey, I got you
a little something.

1462
01:14:52,300 --> 01:14:55,303
I got you a little
something, too,
but let's wait.

1463
01:14:55,387 --> 01:14:56,513
There's only two days
'til Christmas.

1464
01:14:56,596 --> 01:14:58,348
Nah, I want you to see this.

1465
01:14:58,432 --> 01:15:00,183
C'mon. Open it.

1466
01:15:00,267 --> 01:15:01,727
All right.

1467
01:15:07,524 --> 01:15:09,818
Oh my gosh, what?

1468
01:15:09,901 --> 01:15:11,319
How did you get it
printed so fast!?

1469
01:15:11,403 --> 01:15:12,529
My uncle pulled some strings.

1470
01:15:12,654 --> 01:15:15,157
It's an advance copy.

1471
01:15:15,282 --> 01:15:16,450
Doesn't it look great?

1472
01:15:16,533 --> 01:15:18,994
It looks amazing.

1473
01:15:19,077 --> 01:15:20,162
Congratulations!

1474
01:15:20,203 --> 01:15:21,830
Thanks.

1475
01:15:21,955 --> 01:15:25,625
And I'm serious about
donating the proceeds
to the rink.

1476
01:15:25,709 --> 01:15:27,627
Beth, that is too sweet,

1477
01:15:27,711 --> 01:15:30,464
but let's wait and
see what happens tonight.

1478
01:15:30,547 --> 01:15:32,049
Okay.

1479
01:16:02,370 --> 01:16:05,415
Three, two, one!

1480
01:16:05,540 --> 01:16:07,709
Merry Christmas!

1481
01:16:13,465 --> 01:16:14,674
I think I know you
from somewhere.

1482
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,259
I think it's the nose.

1483
01:16:16,384 --> 01:16:18,678
‐Rudolph.
‐Oh, yeah!

1484
01:16:18,762 --> 01:16:20,013

I know, right?

1490
01:17:47,225 --> 01:17:51,229
So many people came together
to make this evening possible.

1491
01:17:51,354 --> 01:17:52,731
First I'd like to thank

1492
01:17:52,856 --> 01:17:56,484
the hundreds of citizens
who sent me Christmas Cards.

1493
01:17:56,568 --> 01:17:59,321
What an outpouring of support.
Thank you.

1494
01:18:02,199 --> 01:18:04,618
And to our vendors
and sponsors,

1495
01:18:04,701 --> 01:18:07,078
a heartfelt thanks to
each and every one of you.

1496
01:18:10,832 --> 01:18:15,170
And to the city council
who had the wisdom

1497
01:18:15,295 --> 01:18:17,839
to make this...

1498
01:18:17,923 --> 01:18:22,552
this magical Skating Oval
a memorial...

1499
01:18:22,677 --> 01:18:23,845
thank you.

1500
01:18:26,014 --> 01:18:29,226
But most of all,
I want to thank a woman

1501
01:18:29,351 --> 01:18:32,687
whose boundless energy
and enthusiasm,

1502
01:18:32,771 --> 01:18:36,233
whose tireless work
and dedication

1503
01:18:36,358 --> 01:18:38,818
and whose...

1504
01:18:38,944 --> 01:18:44,658
whose valuable
and thoughtful advice

1505
01:18:44,699 --> 01:18:46,826

Before I ask Courtney
to come out here,

1509
01:18:55,877 --> 01:18:57,254
I'd want to introduce
you to somebody

1510
01:18:57,379 --> 01:19:00,507
that most of you
probably already know.

1511
01:19:00,590 --> 01:19:02,842
Former Toronto Maple Leaf's star

1515
01:19:26,199 --> 01:19:29,327
Thank you, Calvin.

1516
01:19:29,452 --> 01:19:33,164
What a a wonderful tribute
for the mayor's daughter...

1517
01:19:34,666 --> 01:19:37,669
and my wife, Sarah,

1518
01:19:37,794 --> 01:19:42,048
who we tragically
lost 5 years ago.

1519
01:19:42,173 --> 01:19:45,010
You know, Sarah, she loved
the sport of ice skating

1520
01:19:45,093 --> 01:19:47,846
and for our family
to know that this rink

1521
01:19:47,929 --> 01:19:51,016
will forever be known as
the Sarah Tremblay Skating Oval

1522
01:19:51,141 --> 01:19:55,186
is a tribute and an honor
beyond our wildest dreams.

1523
01:19:57,105 --> 01:19:58,440
Hey, Grace, you want
to come out here?

1524
01:20:03,361 --> 01:20:05,822
When I heard that we were
going to have this dedication

1525
01:20:05,905 --> 01:20:07,699
this Christmas,

1526
01:20:07,824 --> 01:20:10,785
I reached out to
some of my NHL alumni

1527
01:20:10,869 --> 01:20:13,997
and we pieced together
a little something.

1528
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:15,123
Honey?

1529
01:20:23,423 --> 01:20:25,008
With this $100,000 donation,

1530
01:20:25,133 --> 01:20:26,718
I'd like to announce
the formation

1531
01:20:26,843 --> 01:20:28,303
of the Courtney Bennett
Scholarship fund

1532
01:20:28,386 --> 01:20:31,139
for the advancement of
youth skating in the city.

1533
01:20:31,222 --> 01:20:33,141
And if today's show
is any indication,

1534
01:20:33,224 --> 01:20:35,352
we are off to a great start!

1535
01:20:35,477 --> 01:20:38,188
(cheering)

1536
01:20:38,271 --> 01:20:40,315
Courtney is single‐handedly
responsible

1537
01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:42,025
for saving this rink

1538
01:20:42,150 --> 01:20:44,903
and has given of her time
and her talent

1539
01:20:45,028 --> 01:20:47,947
to help the youth of this
city for many, many years.

1540
01:20:48,031 --> 01:20:50,241
And we hope that with
this little kick start,

1541
01:20:50,367 --> 01:20:53,495
that she'll be able
to do that for many,
many more years to come.

1542
01:20:53,578 --> 01:20:57,040
Courtney, would you come out
here and join us on the ice?

1543
01:21:18,311 --> 01:21:20,146
This is truly
a Christmas miracle.

1544
01:21:20,271 --> 01:21:21,314
Thank you.

1545
01:21:21,356 --> 01:21:23,066
No, I should be
thanking you.

1546
01:21:27,695 --> 01:21:29,447
Merry Christmas, Courtney.

1547
01:21:29,531 --> 01:21:31,991
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

1548
01:21:43,795 --> 01:21:44,963
Wow.

1549
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,090
Wow.

1550
01:21:59,269 --> 01:22:01,479

right by my bed.

1551
01:22:02,605 --> 01:22:03,773
Thank you, Courtney.

1552
01:22:03,857 --> 01:22:05,567
I'm so glad you like it.

1553
01:22:08,194 --> 01:22:09,821
Can we roast some
marshmallows now?

1554
01:22:09,946 --> 01:22:12,657
Of course!
That's why we brought them!

1555
01:22:12,740 --> 01:22:13,908
Grab a stick.

1556
01:22:19,831 --> 01:22:22,333
This is the best
Christmas ever.

1557
01:22:24,502 --> 01:22:27,380
You know, you're really
great with her.

1558
01:22:27,505 --> 01:22:30,967
She's such a sweet girl
it's not difficult.

1559
01:22:31,050 --> 01:22:35,346
This has also been my best
Christmas in a long time.

1560
01:22:35,430 --> 01:22:37,098
Mine, too.

1561
01:22:38,892 --> 01:22:40,435
And it's because of you.

1562
01:22:44,189 --> 01:22:46,816
You know, there's something
I wanted to do

1563
01:22:46,941 --> 01:22:48,735
with you out on that
stage yesterday,

1564
01:22:48,860 --> 01:22:51,321
that wasn't
appropriate in public.

1565
01:22:51,446 --> 01:22:52,655
Oh, yeah?

1566
01:22:52,739 --> 01:22:54,491
what was that?

1567
01:22:55,783 --> 01:22:57,243
This.

1568
01:23:07,921 --> 01:23:08,963
Merry Christmas.

1569
01:23:09,047 --> 01:23:10,715
Merry Christmas.

1570
01:23:12,425 --> 01:23:13,718
Let's do it.

1571
01:23:13,843 --> 01:23:15,386
‐Let's do it.
‐Let's do it.

1572
01:23:16,513 --> 01:23:18,014

1573
01:23:18,097 --> 01:23:20,016
Good. So good.

1574
01:23:21,726 --> 01:23:23,144
‐You want some?
‐Sure.

1575
01:23:27,690 --> 01:23:28,775
Really good.

1576
01:23:28,858 --> 01:23:29,776
