About that. Um, my floors...
177
00:09:25,434 --> 00:09:27,088
I mean,
your floors, technically,
178
00:09:27,131 --> 00:09:29,786
they used to have
a distinct squeak.
179
00:09:29,830 --> 00:09:32,963
But the thing is,
now the squeak is gone
180
00:09:33,050 --> 00:09:35,749
and there's a carpet
over the floorboards.
181
00:09:35,836 --> 00:09:38,142
I'm sensing
you don't like the carpet.
182
00:09:38,229 --> 00:09:40,144
Was this your idea?
183
00:09:40,188 --> 00:09:42,886
No, it was, uh, his.
184
00:09:49,023 --> 00:09:50,894
Meet the new owner of the B&B,
my son.
185
00:09:50,981 --> 00:09:53,157
He just moved back from Seattle.
186
00:09:53,244 --> 00:09:55,943
-Desmond?
-Uh, actually, no. It's, uh...
187
00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,727
It's Matt.
188
00:09:57,814 --> 00:10:00,600
-Matt?
-Yup. Matt.
189
00:10:00,643 --> 00:10:02,297
-Your name is Matt?
-Yeah.
190
00:10:02,384 --> 00:10:03,777
Like, short for Matthew.
191
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:06,475
You look exactly like...
192
00:10:06,562 --> 00:10:11,088
You know what, um, never mind.
This is, this is so...
193
00:10:11,175 --> 00:10:15,397
This is something, this is
confusing and confounding
194
00:10:15,484 --> 00:10:18,095
and a little bit exciting.
195
00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:19,357
Uh, okay.
196
00:10:19,444 --> 00:10:21,098
Well, to answer your question,
197
00:10:21,185 --> 00:10:22,317
uh, you're not hearing
that squeak
198
00:10:22,404 --> 00:10:24,406
'cause I fixed the floorboards.
199
00:10:24,493 --> 00:10:25,886
It's actually very simple,
you just sprinkle a little
200
00:10:25,973 --> 00:10:27,061
baby powder
over the squeaky floorboard,
201
00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:29,063
work it into the seams.
202
00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:30,281
Lubricates the wood,
keeps the boards
203
00:10:30,325 --> 00:10:31,935
from rubbing together.
204
00:10:32,022 --> 00:10:35,286
-Neat. That's, like, so neat.
-Yeah, well.
205
00:10:35,373 --> 00:10:36,853
I realized
it's only a temporary solution.
206
00:10:36,897 --> 00:10:40,204
-So, uh, we went carpeted.
-No, you went carpeted.
207
00:10:40,248 --> 00:10:42,337
We went squeaky floors,
right, Bob?
208
00:10:42,424 --> 00:10:45,427
Oh, I'm going Switzerland
on this one.
209
00:10:45,514 --> 00:10:47,647
-Are you?
-I'm gonna go out of this room.
210
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:50,562
Um, I have to leave,
um, my editor is calling
211
00:10:50,606 --> 00:10:52,652
and I have to take this
in my room.
212
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,436
Your phone didn't ring or buzz.
213
00:10:54,523 --> 00:10:57,091
Um, I meant,
I have to call her.
214
00:10:57,134 --> 00:11:00,224
-You know how editors are.
-No. Not really. How are they?
215
00:11:00,268 --> 00:11:02,270
They need to be called back.
216
00:11:02,357 --> 00:11:03,358
Well, you better
call her back then.
217
00:11:03,401 --> 00:11:06,274
That's what I'm gonna do. Bye!
218
00:11:06,361 --> 00:11:09,059
[laughs]
219
00:11:09,146 --> 00:11:10,539
[line ringing]
220
00:11:10,626 --> 00:11:13,890
Come on, pick up,
pick up, pick up!
221
00:11:13,977 --> 00:11:16,023
-Hi, Izzi.
-[Izzi] Finally you answer.
222
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:19,722
Guess what?
Desmond Ranes is here!
223
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:23,378
Whoo-hoo! Guess that fresh
mountain air inspired you, huh?
224
00:11:23,465 --> 00:11:27,121
Inspired? No.
Desmond is here.
225
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:30,254
-Like, in Silver Springs.
-Like, physically?
226
00:11:30,298 --> 00:11:31,516
I mean, it's Matt, not Desmond.
227
00:11:31,603 --> 00:11:33,475
But, still,
this is crazy, right?
228
00:11:33,562 --> 00:11:35,956
Are you sure
you're not the one going crazy?
229
00:11:35,999 --> 00:11:38,567
What do you think this means,
do you think this is like a sign
230
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:40,090
from the universe?
231
00:11:40,177 --> 00:11:43,050
I think if this is
some sort of fake freak-out
232
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:45,313
to get out of finishing
your book, it's creative,
233
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,751
I'll give you that,
but it's not gonna work.
234
00:11:48,838 --> 00:11:51,798
No, Bob, the owner of the B&B,
235
00:11:51,885 --> 00:11:54,104
his son, Matt,
looks identical to Desmond.
236
00:11:54,191 --> 00:11:56,977
-It's, like, uncanny.
-Okay, it's finally happening.
237
00:11:57,064 --> 00:11:58,630
You've romanticized Desmond
so much,
238
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,763
you're having
full-on hallucinations.
239
00:12:00,807 --> 00:12:03,766
I promise. I'm not going crazy.
240
00:12:03,810 --> 00:12:05,899
-And I'm gonna prove it.
-Oh, no. No!
241
00:12:05,986 --> 00:12:09,729
-Izzi, what are you gonna do?
-You'll see, you'll see.
242
00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:12,079
-You'll see!
-Izzi!
243
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:14,951
Excuse me, folks. Matt,
why are these in the trash?
244
00:12:15,038 --> 00:12:16,823
-I love these old lamps.
-Oh.
245
00:12:16,866 --> 00:12:19,129
Yeah, it just doesn't really go
with the aesthetics, dad.
246
00:12:19,216 --> 00:12:20,827
-I, uh...
-Look. I mean...
247
00:12:20,914 --> 00:12:22,176
I wondered where they were,
they've been
248
00:12:22,263 --> 00:12:23,917
one over there
and one over there..
249
00:12:24,004 --> 00:12:25,614
[gasps]
Oh.
250
00:12:25,657 --> 00:12:27,921
-Hi.
-Hi.
251
00:12:27,964 --> 00:12:29,749
-What's your name?
-Kacey.
252
00:12:29,836 --> 00:12:32,795
-I'm Izzi.
-Nice to meet you.
253
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:35,798
-What you doing?
-Um...
254
00:12:35,885 --> 00:12:38,148
I...
255
00:12:38,235 --> 00:12:39,628
I was playing a game.
256
00:12:39,715 --> 00:12:42,196
Cool. How do you play?
257
00:12:42,283 --> 00:12:46,374
Well, you take a stranger
258
00:12:46,461 --> 00:12:50,465
and you try to figure out what
they're like and who they are.
259
00:12:50,552 --> 00:12:53,990
-Sounds weird.
-You're right, it is.
260
00:12:54,077 --> 00:12:57,907
But it helps me come up
with characters. I'm a writer.
261
00:12:57,994 --> 00:12:59,430
No way. I'm a writer, too!
262
00:12:59,517 --> 00:13:01,128
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
263
00:13:01,215 --> 00:13:03,521
Well, in that case,
264
00:13:03,565 --> 00:13:06,089
how about you help me
and tell me how I'm doing?
265
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:07,612
-Sure.
-Okay.
266
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:10,311
Matt over here, Bob's son,
267
00:13:10,398 --> 00:13:14,054
he's rugged and romantic,
complex, yet invaluable.
268
00:13:14,141 --> 00:13:16,665
He's the kind of guy
that would brave snowstorms
269
00:13:16,752 --> 00:13:19,189
to save his one true love.
270
00:13:19,276 --> 00:13:22,323
So what do you think?
271
00:13:22,410 --> 00:13:23,933
[Matt] What do we have here?
272
00:13:26,196 --> 00:13:28,808
Uh...
273
00:13:30,984 --> 00:13:33,856
-Hi again.
-Hi.
274
00:13:33,943 --> 00:13:36,293
Kacey, you're not bothering
one of our guests, are you?
275
00:13:36,380 --> 00:13:38,513
We were actually
just playing a...
276
00:13:40,254 --> 00:13:41,995
-Wait, is she your daughter?
-Yeah.
277
00:13:42,038 --> 00:13:44,519
Still my daughter? Yeah.
278
00:13:44,606 --> 00:13:47,827
[chuckling] Dad, you know,
Izzi's a writer, too.
279
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:52,092
I am, indeed.
A romance novelist.
280
00:13:52,179 --> 00:13:53,528
And she was spying on you
before.
281
00:13:53,615 --> 00:13:55,704
-Huh?
-Okay, that is my cue.
282
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:58,576
And I'm gonna leave now.
283
00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:00,709
-Your editor calling?
-Yeah, probably.
284
00:14:00,796 --> 00:14:02,189
You know what they say
about editors.
285
00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:03,886
[Izzi and Matt]
They need to be called back.
286
00:14:03,973 --> 00:14:06,889
So, um, I'll see you around
the lodge.
287
00:14:06,933 --> 00:14:10,327
-Chalet.
-[Izzi] The lodge.
288
00:14:10,414 --> 00:14:12,590
Sign says chalet.
289
00:14:12,634 --> 00:14:14,941
[Izzi on phone]
Did you get the photo?
290
00:14:15,028 --> 00:14:16,768
-Uh-huh.
-Well?
291
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:18,770
[Mila] You weren't kidding.
292
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,860
I mean, yes,
Desmond's a painting
293
00:14:20,947 --> 00:14:25,038
and he's younger and more buff,
294
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:26,996
but, yeah.
295
00:14:28,128 --> 00:14:29,607
They're basically identical.
296
00:14:29,651 --> 00:14:31,609
[Izzi]
There has to be an explanation.
297
00:14:31,696 --> 00:14:33,873
I mean, can you ask Bianca?
298
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,179
Maybe she used Matt
as inspiration.
299
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:38,442
Well, Bianca didn't create
the original art.
300
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:40,227
She took over
after your first book.
301
00:14:40,314 --> 00:14:41,402
Oh.
302
00:14:41,489 --> 00:14:42,882
Well, can you try to track down
303
00:14:42,969 --> 00:14:44,274
the original artist?
304
00:14:44,318 --> 00:14:46,973
I'll dig, you write.
305
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:49,410
-[Izzi] Okay. Bye.
-Talk soon.
306
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:55,807
Is it just me or is, uh,
your favorite guest interesting?
307
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:58,941
Izzi? Well, if you mean that as
a compliment, then, yes, she is.
308
00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:01,465
[Jennifer]
Hello, Bob, Matthew.
309
00:15:01,509 --> 00:15:04,294
-Hey, Jennifer.
-Jennifer Whitaker.
310
00:15:04,338 --> 00:15:06,209
What a figure!
[laughs]
311
00:15:06,296 --> 00:15:07,907
-[laughs] Thank you.
-You're welcome.
312
00:15:07,994 --> 00:15:09,299
-Been a while. Hey.
-Hi.
313
00:15:09,386 --> 00:15:10,953
How are you?
314
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,129
Good. How are you settling in?
315
00:15:13,216 --> 00:15:15,479
-Is it good to be back home?
-Yeah, I'm settling.
316
00:15:15,566 --> 00:15:16,959
And, yeah, no,
it's good-good to be back.
317
00:15:17,046 --> 00:15:18,613
Get to spend some time
with the old man.
318
00:15:18,656 --> 00:15:21,442
Who are you callin' old, huh?
319
00:15:21,529 --> 00:15:24,967
[laughs] Most importantly, uh,
Kacey seems to like it, so...
320
00:15:25,054 --> 00:15:28,449
-Oh, good. I'm glad to hear it.
-Yeah.
321
00:15:28,536 --> 00:15:31,278
Uh, so what brings you by?
322
00:15:31,365 --> 00:15:35,935
Well, I noticed that you don't
have lights up outside yet.
323
00:15:36,022 --> 00:15:37,545
Don't forget that our annual
324
00:15:37,632 --> 00:15:39,460
Christmas Lights
Of Silver Springs Festival
325
00:15:39,503 --> 00:15:41,288
is coming up on Christmas Eve.
326
00:15:41,375 --> 00:15:43,029
Oh, you mean the competition
327
00:15:43,072 --> 00:15:44,987
every business on Main Street
participates in
328
00:15:45,074 --> 00:15:46,989
that my dad hasn't won
in over a decade?
329
00:15:47,076 --> 00:15:49,600
-Never heard of it.
-Please.
330
00:15:51,385 --> 00:15:53,735
I got a plan. I got a plan.
Don't worry.
331
00:15:53,822 --> 00:15:56,129
Just, uh, keepin' it
close to the chest.
332
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:59,132
Ooh. I like that.
333
00:16:00,742 --> 00:16:03,397
Well, I'll let you
get back to it.
334
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:06,052
-See you around.
-Yeah.
335
00:16:06,139 --> 00:16:07,618
-Buh-bye.
-[Jennifer] See you, Bob.
336
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:09,969
-Thanks for stopping by.
-Of course.
337
00:16:10,882 --> 00:16:12,232
[chuckles]
338
00:16:12,319 --> 00:16:14,712
Jennifer Whitaker. Wow.
339
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:17,541
-Mathew?
-Yup.
340
00:16:17,628 --> 00:16:21,154
You know that Jennifer judges
the lights competition.
341
00:16:21,241 --> 00:16:22,764
-Right?
-And?
342
00:16:22,851 --> 00:16:25,506
She's had a crush on you
since high school.
343
00:16:25,549 --> 00:16:27,638
-Dad.
-It could help our chances.
344
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:30,076
Dad, please. Um...
345
00:16:30,163 --> 00:16:32,165
Son, you've been single
for three years--
346
00:16:32,252 --> 00:16:34,950
Dad, we talked about this.
347
00:16:35,037 --> 00:16:37,779
No, we haven't talked
about this.
348
00:16:37,866 --> 00:16:40,608
-Plus, I got a plan.
-I've seen some of your plans.
349
00:16:40,695 --> 00:16:43,089
-Sticking to the plan.
-All right.

00:16:51,619 --> 00:16:53,969
-Christmas can officially begin.
-Yay!
354

This place is popping,

355
00:16:57,451 --> 00:16:59,714
I've got something for you.

They're your favorite.
Oatmeal raisin.
357
00:17:01,629 --> 00:17:02,804
I put them aside for you.
358
00:17:02,891 --> 00:17:05,937
Oh. This is so thoughtful.

-Thank you.
-Well, come, talk with me.

How's your wife Parker?
361
00:17:11,421 --> 00:17:14,033
-And Timmy?
-Gosh. They're so great!
362
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:16,948
Timmy's almost ten,
if you can believe it.
363
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:18,950
Wow.
364
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:21,431
Hey, why have you
never mentioned
365
00:17:21,518 --> 00:17:23,781
your mystery brother, Matt,
from Seattle?
366
00:17:23,868 --> 00:17:25,653
The one who never
spends Christmas
367
00:17:25,740 --> 00:17:28,395
at the second-most
Christmas-y place in the world.
368
00:17:28,438 --> 00:17:29,744
-Second?
-North Pole.
369
00:17:29,831 --> 00:17:31,963
Oh. Right.
370
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,009
I'm guessing
you two finally met.
371
00:17:34,096 --> 00:17:36,707
Yeah, and he reminds me of...
372
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:39,406
an old friend.
373
00:17:39,493 --> 00:17:41,756
Really?
And what's this friend like?
374
00:17:41,843 --> 00:17:45,760
Oh, you know, he's romantic,
375
00:17:45,803 --> 00:17:48,023
heroic and handsome.
376
00:17:48,110 --> 00:17:49,807
Uh, question.
377
00:17:49,894 --> 00:17:51,853
Why does any of that
remind you of Matt?
378
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,246
[Matt] You again.
379
00:17:56,597 --> 00:17:59,426
I'm not stalking you,
although, I was here first,
380
00:17:59,513 --> 00:18:01,602
so, technically,
that would make you the stalker.
381
00:18:01,689 --> 00:18:03,647
If you say so.
382
00:18:03,734 --> 00:18:06,433
-Parker will be here any minute.
-Great.
383
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,087
Oatmeal raisin?
384
00:18:08,174 --> 00:18:09,784
Out of all the cookies here,
that's,
385
00:18:09,871 --> 00:18:11,090
that's the one you picked?
386
00:18:11,177 --> 00:18:12,091
What's wrong
with oatmeal raisin?
387
00:18:12,178 --> 00:18:13,527
It's my favorite.
388
00:18:13,614 --> 00:18:16,486
Soft and chewy,
slight crisp on the edges.
389
00:18:16,573 --> 00:18:19,228
Loaded with oats,
studded with raisins.
390
00:18:19,315 --> 00:18:21,926
You really are a writer.
That was beautiful.
391
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:24,451
Anyway, not a fan of raisins.
392
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:30,239
You're right. Desmond would
never cookie-shame Catarina.
393
00:18:32,372 --> 00:18:34,939
I've gotta go.
I have some writing to do.
394

-Who? Who's Desmond?
-I don't know.
398

Let's get you a cookie.

Still working too much?

I know he's ready to hand over
the reins, but I don't think
404
00:18:59,094 --> 00:19:00,313
he knows
what to do with himself
405
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,228
if he's not running the B&B.
406
00:19:02,271 --> 00:19:05,318
Well, the B&B has been his life
for the last 40 years.
407
00:19:05,361 --> 00:19:08,321
-It's a big change.
-I know.

Thanks for taking Kacey
to the movies.
411
00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:14,762
Still got a lot of work to do
this afternoon.
412
00:19:14,849 --> 00:19:17,156
Oh, no prob.

for dinner tonight, babe.

Yeah. You know,
I should get back to work.
419
00:19:28,428 --> 00:19:29,907

420
00:19:29,994 --> 00:19:32,214
or are you gonna make room
for my paying customers?
421
00:19:32,301 --> 00:19:33,868
Well, do I at least get
the big-brother discount?

Uh, you're my little brother.

to Sarah how funny it was

that you and I have never met.
449
00:20:48,203 --> 00:20:49,117
Well, we used
to spend the holidays
450
00:20:49,204 --> 00:20:50,423
with Kacey's mom's family.

00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:51,902

-I bet Kacey loved that.
-Oh, you have no idea.
455
00:21:00,128 --> 00:21:02,348
So what did you do in Seattle?
456
00:21:02,435 --> 00:21:04,480
Well, I was the manager
of a big hotel.
457
00:21:04,567 --> 00:21:05,655
What brought you back
to Silver Springs?

Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.

to slow things down a little,

especially for Kacey.

what's best for her.

of my dad retiring,

with the updates
I've been making.

00:21:25,066 --> 00:21:27,547
-Antler Lodge is perfect as is.
-Uh...

Antler Chalet will be even more
perfect when I'm done with it.

Well, not if you keep...

Wait, did you say
that you were talking about me?

I mean, we, well, we...
471
00:21:37,252 --> 00:21:40,124
We were talking about one
of our customers' complaints.
472
00:21:40,211 --> 00:21:43,214
I would say constructive
criticism is more accurate.
473
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:45,391
Well, your constructive
criticism has been noted.
474

I should get back to work.

or buy a new pair of boots,

Okay, well,
don't work too hard, sweetie.
518
00:23:50,472 --> 00:23:52,561
-I should go, mom.
-Okay. We love you!
519
00:23:52,648 --> 00:23:54,128
-Okay. I love you.
-Okay. Big kiss.
520
00:23:54,215 --> 00:23:55,782
I miss you, okay? I have to go.
521
00:23:55,825 --> 00:23:58,001
Okay. We love you.
Mwah, mwah, mwah.

00:23:58,088 --> 00:23:59,612

"Don't worry,
I'm not bulldozing it

until next Tuesday."
527

Mulled cider
was an integral part
528
00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:37,737
of the wassailing tradition.
529
00:24:37,780 --> 00:24:41,218
Back in medieval England,
during Christmastide,
530
00:24:41,305 --> 00:24:43,220
people would go door-to-door,
531
00:24:43,264 --> 00:24:46,354
singing and offering
a drink of warm apple cider
532
00:24:46,441 --> 00:24:49,836
from the wassailing bowl
in exchange for gifts.
533
00:24:49,923 --> 00:24:53,187
And this was an early form
of Christmas caroling.
534
00:24:53,274 --> 00:24:54,623
Yes!
535
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:56,712
Are you going to sing for us
again this year?
536

-It's under consideration.

So are you really willing
to give all this up?
538

Oh, this part? No way.
539
00:25:05,068 --> 00:25:06,548

541
00:25:08,289 --> 00:25:09,943

is like a 24-7 job.

-Izzi.

00:40:07,709 --> 00:40:11,104
-But she's hard at work.
-Ah, as a writer, I understand.
863
00:40:11,147 --> 00:40:13,193
-[laughs] Hey, Matt!
-Hey.
864
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,977
-Dad!
-Oh, I feel bad.
865
00:40:15,064 --> 00:40:17,153
We're off to play in the snow,
and you're staying behind.
866
00:40:17,197 --> 00:40:18,764
Do not feel bad,
it'll give me a chance to fix
867
00:40:18,851 --> 00:40:20,592
a few wobbly doorknobs.
868
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:22,420
Fair enough. Honestly,
I don't mind taking the lead
869
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:25,031
because sledding
is my favorite activity.
870
00:40:25,118 --> 00:40:28,338
They're all
your favorite activities, dad.
871
00:40:28,426 --> 00:40:31,472
Kacey and I
live for the thrill.
872
00:40:31,516 --> 00:40:33,039
-[Bob chuckles]
-Be careful.
873
00:40:33,126 --> 00:40:34,432
"Be careful."
874
00:40:40,176 --> 00:40:41,308
[knocking on door]
875
00:40:41,395 --> 00:40:42,962
Who is it?
876
00:40:43,005 --> 00:40:44,311
[Matt] It's Matt.
877
00:40:45,094 --> 00:40:46,792
Come in!
878
00:40:49,011 --> 00:40:51,405
Oh. Sorry to interrupt.
I thought you'd be sledding.
879
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:53,625
Oh, I'd love to be,
but duty calls.
880
00:40:53,712 --> 00:40:56,454
Got it.
Well, I can come back later.
881
00:40:56,497 --> 00:40:59,674
It's okay.
Do what you need to do.
882
00:40:59,718 --> 00:41:01,459
-Sure?
-Mm-hmm.
883
00:41:09,815 --> 00:41:12,818
[Matt whistling]
884
00:41:16,952 --> 00:41:18,911
Wait. What are you doing?
885
00:41:18,998 --> 00:41:20,565
Just swapping out the doorknob.
886
00:41:20,652 --> 00:41:23,698
-What's wrong with the old one?
-Uh, it's old.
887
00:41:23,742 --> 00:41:26,353
So? Don't you have
any sentimentality?
888
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,748
For doorknobs?
Uh, nope, I don't.
889
00:41:29,835 --> 00:41:32,054
No, I just mean,
there's something romantic
890
00:41:32,141 --> 00:41:34,056
about this place's quirks.
891
00:41:34,143 --> 00:41:35,884
The squeaky floorboards
and all that.
892
00:41:35,971 --> 00:41:37,451
I don't think anyone's
ever written a hotel review
893
00:41:37,538 --> 00:41:40,106
that started with,
"I loved the squeaky floors."
894
00:41:40,193 --> 00:41:41,847
-Oh, I definitely would.
-Uh, wouldn't it be nice...
895
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:44,197
To have a doorknob that works?
896
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:47,026
It works.
897
00:41:47,113 --> 00:41:50,725
-See?
-Wait, no. Don't do that. Oh.
898
00:41:50,812 --> 00:41:53,685
Well, it's not
that big of a deal.
899
00:41:53,728 --> 00:41:55,948
It's not like
we're locked in here. Right?
900
00:41:56,035 --> 00:41:59,081
-We are so locked in here.
-No way.
901
00:41:59,168 --> 00:42:01,127
Well, thanks a lot.
902
00:42:01,214 --> 00:42:03,346
-You should've told me!
-I tried!
903
00:42:03,433 --> 00:42:05,827
Well, you have a screw driver.
Can't you take the hinges off?
904
00:42:05,914 --> 00:42:09,091
Now, I could, but the hinges
are on the other side, so...
905
00:42:09,135 --> 00:42:10,223
Haven't you ever heard
of the expression
906
00:42:10,266 --> 00:42:11,441
if it's not broke, don't fix it?
907
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:12,573
The doorknob
was literally broke.
908
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,794
Agree to disagree.
909
00:42:15,881 --> 00:42:18,274
-I'm calling the front desk.
-Yeah, don't bother.
910
00:42:18,361 --> 00:42:20,929
No one's there. I'm supposed
to be at the front desk.
911
00:42:21,016 --> 00:42:23,236
Why are you
not at the front desk?
912
00:42:23,279 --> 00:42:24,454
Because I was fixing
the doorknob.
913
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:25,586
-[chuckles]
-You know what?
914
00:42:25,673 --> 00:42:27,022
I'll call my dad, tell him we're
915
00:42:27,109 --> 00:42:28,546
stuck in here and he'll...
916
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:32,375
-What's wrong?
-I left my phone.
917
00:42:32,462 --> 00:42:34,639
-At the front desk.
-Well, you can use mine.
918
00:42:34,726 --> 00:42:36,597
I don't have my dad's cell
memorized.
919
00:42:36,684 --> 00:42:39,905
What? You don't know
your dad's number?
920
00:42:39,992 --> 00:42:42,124
It's just, it's in my phone.
Why would...
921
00:42:42,168 --> 00:42:43,561
Wait, do you have
everyone's number memorized?
922
00:42:43,648 --> 00:42:47,129
-Well, no.
-Oh. Okay.
923
00:42:47,173 --> 00:42:49,175
I guess we're not agreeing
to disagree on this one.
924
00:42:49,262 --> 00:42:51,046
[scoffs]
925
00:42:51,133 --> 00:42:53,309
Ooh.
926
00:42:53,396 --> 00:42:56,748
-[whistling]
-Uh, what are you doing?
927
00:42:56,835 --> 00:42:58,184
Getting comfy, sledding usually
928
00:42:58,271 --> 00:43:00,969
lasts a couple of hours.
It's very fun.
929
00:43:01,056 --> 00:43:02,231
Then you should be doing it
instead of
930
00:43:02,275 --> 00:43:03,450
disturbing the guests.
931
00:43:03,493 --> 00:43:05,583
I have to get back to work.
932
00:43:09,761 --> 00:43:12,764
[laptop keys clacking]
933
00:43:17,551 --> 00:43:20,162
Tell me a story.
934
00:43:20,206 --> 00:43:22,295
What are you, five?
935
00:43:22,382 --> 00:43:25,037
-And a half.
-[giggles]
936
00:43:25,124 --> 00:43:26,604
Oh, come on, why not?
937
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:30,346
All I know are romance stories.
938
00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:33,045
And the age recommendation
is fourteen and up.
939
00:43:33,132 --> 00:43:34,481
So...
940
00:43:36,135 --> 00:43:37,484
Okay, well,
why don't you tell me
941
00:43:37,571 --> 00:43:40,313
how one becomes
a romance novelist?
942
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,969
-You really wanna know?
-Yeah. I do.
943
00:43:44,012 --> 00:43:45,274
It's not like
you're getting much
944
00:43:45,361 --> 00:43:46,536
writing done
at the moment anyway.
945
00:43:46,624 --> 00:43:49,148
Well, I wonder why.
946
00:43:49,235 --> 00:43:51,498
I was always writing,
even as a kid.
947
00:43:51,541 --> 00:43:53,282
Kinda like Kacey.
948
00:43:53,369 --> 00:43:54,501
As long as I can remember,
949
00:43:54,588 --> 00:43:56,503
my favorite part
of the fairy tales
950
00:43:56,590 --> 00:43:58,723
was the love story.
951
00:43:58,810 --> 00:44:00,463
Meeting Prince Charming,
952
00:44:00,550 --> 00:44:03,728
love at first sight,
true love's kiss, all of that.
953
00:44:03,815 --> 00:44:07,166
So I ended up creating my own
version of Prince Charming
954
00:44:07,209 --> 00:44:10,909
and I was able to make him
and Catarina, his eternal love,
955
00:44:10,996 --> 00:44:13,607
into a successful
romance series.
956
00:44:13,694 --> 00:44:16,392
But my fourth book,
up until this afternoon,
957
00:44:16,436 --> 00:44:18,873
has been such a struggle
to finish.
958
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,658
And why do you think that is?
959
00:44:22,398 --> 00:44:24,444
I'd rather not say.
960
00:44:24,531 --> 00:44:26,533
Oh, come on.
And now I'm curious.
961
00:44:30,580 --> 00:44:33,061
Let's just say
that there's a theory
962
00:44:33,105 --> 00:44:36,325
that the impossible standards
in my love life
963
00:44:36,412 --> 00:44:38,763
have started to affect
my professional life
964
00:44:38,806 --> 00:44:43,028
to the point where I'm writing
about unrealistic love
965
00:44:43,071 --> 00:44:45,421
instead of real love.
966
00:44:45,508 --> 00:44:47,423
That's understandable, though.
967
00:44:47,510 --> 00:44:49,904
-You think?
-Yeah.
968
00:44:49,948 --> 00:44:52,820
After my wife passed, um...
969
00:44:54,909 --> 00:44:57,390
Well, let's just say
that when you get knocked down
970
00:44:57,477 --> 00:45:00,045
like Kacey and I, um,
971
00:45:00,132 --> 00:45:02,874
getting back up, standing
on your own two feet again,
972
00:45:02,961 --> 00:45:05,833
it's, it's hard,
it's really hard.
973
00:45:07,182 --> 00:45:08,706
I got you.
974
00:45:12,448 --> 00:45:13,798
Of course.
975
00:45:13,885 --> 00:45:15,974
-I'm sorry, I--
-No. I mean, it's fine.
976
00:45:16,061 --> 00:45:18,585
I just,
I know what it feels like
977
00:45:18,628 --> 00:45:20,587
to get knocked down in life.
978
00:45:29,683 --> 00:45:32,817
I guess, with your writing, uh,
979
00:45:32,860 --> 00:45:36,472
now you have the ability
to create a happily ever after.
980
00:45:36,516 --> 00:45:38,561
I can see
how that'd feel safe...
981
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:41,260
almost perfect.
982
00:45:42,740 --> 00:45:44,742
You're different
than I thought you'd be.
983
00:45:46,047 --> 00:45:47,962
I'll take that as a compliment?
984
00:45:48,049 --> 00:45:49,442
Your call.
985
00:45:52,924 --> 00:45:54,839
You wanna hear something weird?
986
00:45:54,882 --> 00:45:58,668
-Actually, never mind.
-I'm sure it's not that weird.
987
00:45:58,756 --> 00:46:00,845
Okay, I didn't know
if I should bring this up,
988
00:46:00,932 --> 00:46:03,804
but you look exactly
like Desmond Ranes.
989
00:46:03,891 --> 00:46:06,676
Okay, who is this Desmond guy
you keep bringing up?
990
00:46:06,764 --> 00:46:09,288
He's the character
from my books.
991
00:46:09,375 --> 00:46:10,593
All right.
992
00:46:14,336 --> 00:46:15,773
I got to see this.
993
00:46:17,339 --> 00:46:19,472
Look.
994
00:46:19,559 --> 00:46:22,475
-Uh...
-You see it, huh?
995
00:46:22,518 --> 00:46:24,433
It's weird, right?
996
00:46:25,608 --> 00:46:27,610
Yeah, it's not that, it's, um...
997
00:46:27,697 --> 00:46:31,179
[Parker] Matt?
Matt, are you here?
998
00:46:31,266 --> 00:46:34,792
Yeah! Um, upstairs! Room four!
999
00:46:37,359 --> 00:46:38,665
[door unlocks]
1000
00:46:40,406 --> 00:46:42,800
We've been trying to call,
Bob fell off his sled
1001
00:46:42,843 --> 00:46:45,237
and hurt his leg.
He's in the lobby.
1002
00:46:45,324 --> 00:46:46,325
Dad...
1003
00:46:47,630 --> 00:46:49,502
We were locked in. Is he okay?
1004
00:46:51,199 --> 00:46:54,724
I'm fine, I just turned my ankle
when I flew off,
1005
00:46:54,812 --> 00:46:57,031
uh, fell off the sled.
1006
00:46:57,075 --> 00:46:59,251
Flew off?
Did you take a jump, dad?
1007
00:46:59,338 --> 00:47:02,689
Well, it was more like
a little bump that looked fun.
1008
00:47:02,776 --> 00:47:04,560
-Right, Kacey?
-I'd say so.
1009
00:47:04,647 --> 00:47:07,563
Well, that's what a jump is,
dad. A bump that looks fun.
1010
00:47:07,607 --> 00:47:10,653
[sighs]
Come on, it's Christmas time!
1011
00:47:10,740 --> 00:47:13,265
-I like your spirit, Bob.
-Yeah!
1012
00:47:13,352 --> 00:47:15,180
Sarah, don't you have
cookie decorating tonight?
1013
00:47:15,223 --> 00:47:17,138
Oh, no!
1014
00:47:17,225 --> 00:47:20,272
Oh, sh...
It's in an hour.
1015
00:47:20,359 --> 00:47:21,839
You don't think
we can cancel it, do you?
1016
00:47:21,926 --> 00:47:23,449
-Oh.
-Wait a second.
1017
00:47:23,536 --> 00:47:27,322
No one is canceling anything
on my account.
1018
00:47:27,409 --> 00:47:29,150
I guess only one of us
needs to stay here with him.
1019
00:47:29,237 --> 00:47:31,544
Well, no offense, but you're not
good at cookie decorating.
1020
00:47:31,587 --> 00:47:32,588
-So...
-What?
1021
00:47:32,675 --> 00:47:34,939
I'd be happy to help, Sarah.
1022
00:47:35,026 --> 00:47:36,462
Oh, Iz,
I can't ask you to do that.
1023
00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:37,898
Don't you have to get back
to your writing?
1024
00:47:37,942 --> 00:47:39,900
Actually,
I made a breakthrough today
1025
00:47:39,944 --> 00:47:41,946
and made a ton of progress.
1026
00:47:42,033 --> 00:47:44,209
It'd be my honor
to be your sous-chef.
1027
00:47:44,296 --> 00:47:45,732
-Amazing.
-[Bob] Yeah!
1028
00:47:45,819 --> 00:47:47,952
-[chuckles] Let's go.
-I'll come, too.
1029
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:49,736
Okay. Let's go.
1030
00:47:50,911 --> 00:47:52,826

and Izzi have real chemistry.

live here. She's a tourist.

-I don't know. Maybe.
1073

Yeah. No, I...
Yeah, yeah, I really don't know.
1074
00:50:13,401 --> 00:50:16,230
Okay, you know how Izzi writes
those, those novels
1075
00:50:16,317 --> 00:50:17,666
about that hero guy?
1076
00:50:17,753 --> 00:50:19,277
-Uh, Desmond.
-Yeah?
1077
00:50:19,364 --> 00:50:21,583
Well, on the cover
of those novels,
1078
00:50:21,670 --> 00:50:23,150
uh, there's paintings of him.
1079
00:50:23,237 --> 00:50:24,543
Except, uh...
1080
00:50:24,630 --> 00:50:26,458
[chuckles]
1081
00:50:26,545 --> 00:50:28,503
it's not him, it's me.
1082
00:50:28,590 --> 00:50:31,245
I'm on the cover
of the book, dad.
1083
00:50:31,289 --> 00:50:34,074
Emily painted it.
1084
00:50:34,161 --> 00:50:35,554
Well, how is that even possible?
1085
00:50:35,641 --> 00:50:37,817
I mean,
I know she was an artist,
1086
00:50:37,904 --> 00:50:39,775
but I didn't know
she did romance novels.
1087
00:50:39,819 --> 00:50:41,429
I remember
her being commissioned
1088
00:50:41,473 --> 00:50:43,562
for a handful, I don't know.
1089
00:50:43,649 --> 00:50:46,130
And you know how she always
used the family as inspiration.
1090
00:50:46,217 --> 00:50:48,828
But for that art
to end up on Izzi's cover,
1091
00:50:48,915 --> 00:50:50,917
for Izzi to be here now, I don't
know, it almost feels like--
1092
00:50:51,004 --> 00:50:52,397
Like a sign.
1093
00:50:54,181 --> 00:50:56,444
Wow.
1094

better myself.

[Bob] No.
1096
00:50:59,621 --> 00:51:02,668
That is a lot to process.
1097
00:51:02,755 --> 00:51:06,150
Now, the decision for you is
whether that's a bad sign
1098
00:51:06,237 --> 00:51:08,021
or a good one.
1099
00:51:08,108 --> 00:51:10,763
I think you know which side
of the fence I'm gonna be on.

Hm?
1101
00:51:13,592 --> 00:51:17,378
Now, for more pressing matters.
1102
00:51:17,465 --> 00:51:21,078
-Don't forget my gingerbreads.
-To help your ankle feel better?
1103
00:51:21,165 --> 00:51:22,644
-Exactly.
-All right.
1104
00:51:22,731 --> 00:51:26,039
-Stay off your feet, dad.

-Uh, very funny.
-So unfair.

00:53:42,828 --> 00:53:44,351
Blatant nepotism

I can't help it.
1156
00:53:52,011 --> 00:53:54,796
So what are you doing over here
all by yourself?
1157
00:53:54,883 --> 00:53:58,539
-I was, uh, just thinking.
-About your dad?
1158
00:53:58,626 --> 00:54:00,541
You said
it was just a sprain, right?
1159
00:54:00,628 --> 00:54:03,936
Yes, yes, one of the things
I was thinking about.
1160
00:54:04,023 --> 00:54:05,590
Ah, more than that, I just
don't know what he's gonna
1161
00:54:05,677 --> 00:54:06,634
do with himself moving forward.
1162
00:54:06,721 --> 00:54:07,940
Yeah.
1163
00:54:07,983 --> 00:54:09,246
He's not the type to sit at home
1164
00:54:09,289 --> 00:54:10,638
and watch game shows.
1165
00:54:10,682 --> 00:54:13,815
Nope. He loves entertaining.
1166
00:54:13,902 --> 00:54:16,340
He loves talking to tourists
about Silver Springs.
1167
00:54:16,427 --> 00:54:20,082
-Of course, he loves Christmas--
-Christmas.
1168
00:54:25,827 --> 00:54:27,960
Maybe he could do
all those things at the B&B.
1169
00:54:28,047 --> 00:54:31,180
-And then you could do the rest.
-I'd be fine with that.
1170
00:54:31,224 --> 00:54:33,618
But he wants me to be able
to do my own thing.
1171
00:54:33,705 --> 00:54:36,490
Yeah, I get that.
1172
00:54:36,534 --> 00:54:40,189
So what was the other thing
you were thinking about?
1173
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:44,281
You got out of setting up, so
maybe you can help me clean up?
1174
00:54:44,368 --> 00:54:47,588
Sure. Yeah.
I will help clean up. Excuse me.
1175
00:54:47,675 --> 00:54:50,635
Oh, you helped out
so much today. Thank you.

-I am.
-Can I walk you out?

I have an idea
I want to run past you.

00:56:08,887 --> 00:56:10,454
-Have a good night.
-[Bob] Goodnight, Izzi.
1200
00:56:10,541 --> 00:56:13,544
Uh, wait,
I'll get the door for ya.
1201
00:56:18,984 --> 00:56:20,159
Do you still have
writing to do tonight?
1202
00:56:20,246 --> 00:56:22,074
Some.
1203
00:56:22,161 --> 00:56:26,121
But it's such a nice night out,
I think I might go for a push.
1204
00:56:26,165 --> 00:56:29,081
Sounds fun. Mind if I join?
1205
00:56:29,995 --> 00:56:31,388
Sure.
1206
00:56:33,128 --> 00:56:34,478
I'll grab my coat.
1207
00:56:39,308 --> 00:56:41,920
[indistinct chatter]
1208
00:56:42,007 --> 00:56:44,618
Main Street's gonna be
so beautiful tomorrow.
1209
00:56:44,705 --> 00:56:48,666
The Lights Festival is
my favorite grown-up tradition.
1210
00:56:48,753 --> 00:56:50,494
I've never met anyone
who loves traditions
1211
00:56:50,581 --> 00:56:53,975
as much as you do.
It's refreshing.
1212
00:56:54,062 --> 00:56:57,109
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
1213
00:56:57,196 --> 00:57:01,156
Well, this is another one
of my favorites.
1214
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,985
Crockpot-toasted
marshmallow hot chocolate.
1215
00:57:04,072 --> 00:57:05,639
You gotta try it.
1216
00:57:05,683 --> 00:57:06,945
-Want one?
-Yeah.
1217
00:57:07,032 --> 00:57:09,600
Yeah? Okay.
1218
00:57:09,687 --> 00:57:12,429
-Hey, Steve!
-Uh, two, please.
1219
00:57:13,865 --> 00:57:15,301
It's a little bit hot,
be careful.
1220
00:57:15,344 --> 00:57:16,955
Thank you.
1221
00:57:18,783 --> 00:57:21,568
-Okay.
-Okay, here goes.
1222
00:57:23,744 --> 00:57:26,399
-Mm. Mm.
-Mm.
1223
00:57:26,486 --> 00:57:28,532
-Now, this is delicious.
-I told ya.
1224
00:57:28,619 --> 00:57:30,229
Well, I'm loving
that sweet roasted flavor.
1225
00:57:30,316 --> 00:57:32,318
[Izzi chuckles]
1226
00:57:34,407 --> 00:57:37,497
-Oh, you, you have some...
-What?
1227
00:57:37,584 --> 00:57:39,847
-Yeah.
-Over there.
1228
00:57:39,934 --> 00:57:43,634
-Okay. Right here.
-[laughing] It's still there.
1229
00:57:43,677 --> 00:57:47,072
It's still there? Okay. Gone?
1230
00:57:47,159 --> 00:57:50,205
-We good?
-Yeah, yeah.
1231
00:57:50,249 --> 00:57:53,818
Gotta say, in the past few
years, I've been so distracted
1232
00:57:53,861 --> 00:57:56,168
just trying
to get through my day...
1233
00:57:58,126 --> 00:58:00,041
Being back in Silver Springs
and seeing the world
1234
00:58:00,128 --> 00:58:03,001
through your eyes,
I don't know,
1235
00:58:03,088 --> 00:58:06,787
it's, it's helping me appreciate
where I came from.
1236
00:58:06,874 --> 00:58:08,876
That's really
nice of you to say.
1237
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,749
Oh, hey, I wanted to thank you.
1238
00:58:11,836 --> 00:58:14,142
Yeah, for helping Kacey
with her writing.
1239
00:58:14,229 --> 00:58:16,362
Oh, anytime.
She's such a good kid.
1240
00:58:16,405 --> 00:58:19,365
Yeah. Yeah. Being her dad is...
1241
00:58:19,452 --> 00:58:20,497
Well, let's just say
it's the greatest adventure
1242
00:58:20,584 --> 00:58:22,063
I've ever taken,
that's for sure.
1243
00:58:22,150 --> 00:58:24,196
She's lucky to have you.
1244
00:58:24,239 --> 00:58:26,677
Her very own
knight in shining armor.
1245
00:58:30,419 --> 00:58:33,205
-Shall we keep going?
-We shall.
1246
00:58:39,167 --> 00:58:40,517
My lady.
1247
00:58:41,605 --> 00:58:44,608
[instrumental music]
1248
00:59:08,153 --> 00:59:10,242
What, are you proposing?
1249
00:59:12,070 --> 00:59:14,507
The view is just better
down here.
1250
00:59:22,167 --> 00:59:24,386
There's, uh, there's something
I need to tell ya.
1251
00:59:30,001 --> 00:59:32,743
You know what? Oh, never mind.
1252
00:59:33,918 --> 00:59:35,702
You can tell me.
1253
00:59:35,789 --> 00:59:38,183
No, it's just such a nice night.
1254
00:59:38,270 --> 00:59:40,925
-Honestly, it's almost...
-Perfect?
1255
00:59:42,535 --> 00:59:44,929
-Exactly.
-Hm.
1256
00:59:48,019 --> 00:59:51,152
-Let's just keep it that way.
-Okey-dokey.
1257
00:59:51,196 --> 00:59:53,546
-You sure?
-Yes. I promise.
1258
00:59:53,633 --> 00:59:55,417
Okay.
1259
00:59:55,504 --> 00:59:58,290
-Shall we head back?
-Come on.
1260
01:00:04,775 --> 01:00:07,647
[Izzi] Suddenly she catches
a rock and tumbles,
1261
01:00:07,734 --> 01:00:09,693
almost falling off a cliff.
1262
01:00:09,780 --> 01:00:12,957
Desmond races over.
She reaches out her hand.
1263
01:00:13,044 --> 01:00:15,176
With strength,
he pulls her up.
1264
01:00:15,263 --> 01:00:18,353
They fall back
onto the soft snow.
1265
01:00:18,397 --> 01:00:21,966
Then, Desmond
slowly leans towards her...
1266
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,802
-[Izzi laughing]
-[Matt] I know, I know.
1267
01:00:31,889 --> 01:00:34,195
It looks like
Santa's bag exploded.
1268
01:00:34,282 --> 01:00:36,807
But not regular Santa, DJ Santa,
1269
01:00:36,894 --> 01:00:38,460
who works weddings
and bar mitzvahs
1270
01:00:38,547 --> 01:00:41,507
the other weekends of the year.
1271
01:00:41,594 --> 01:00:44,553
Okay, I was planning to wake up
at 6 a.m. to test the lights
1272
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:46,947
in the dark one last time,
but instead I woke up at 3:00
1273
01:00:47,034 --> 01:00:49,036
from a stress dream
they wouldn't look good.
1274
01:00:49,123 --> 01:00:53,084
Then my fears were confirmed.
They, they look terrible.
1275
01:00:53,171 --> 01:00:55,521
Well, what happened
to the master plan?
1276
01:00:55,608 --> 01:00:56,914
The synchronized music
and all that?
1277
01:00:57,001 --> 01:00:58,655
What happened is...
1278
01:00:58,742 --> 01:01:01,527
-[upbeat music]
-Oh.
1279
01:01:03,572 --> 01:01:05,270

1280
01:01:05,357 --> 01:01:07,141
I do not.
1281
01:01:08,447 --> 01:01:09,883
[music stops]
1282
01:01:09,927 --> 01:01:11,537
Yeah, it doesn't sound
as good as I remember.
1283
01:01:11,580 --> 01:01:13,844
[chuckles]
Well, maybe I can help.
1284
01:01:15,149 --> 01:01:16,542
Thank you.
1285
01:01:16,629 --> 01:01:19,066
Let's see.
1286
01:01:19,153 --> 01:01:23,767
Here... Yeah.
1287
01:01:23,854 --> 01:01:26,291
I think Christmas
is all about tradition.
1288
01:01:26,378 --> 01:01:29,033
You remember those big
red, blue and green bulbs?
1289
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,427
The ones you actually had
to screw in every single one?
1290
01:01:32,471 --> 01:01:35,648
It'd take me and my dad hours,
but we loved it.
1291
01:01:35,735 --> 01:01:37,432
-Yeah, we had 'em, too.
-Well...
1292
01:01:37,476 --> 01:01:38,564
Some might say
they're kind of dated,
1293
01:01:38,607 --> 01:01:40,784
but to me, they're classic.
1294
01:01:40,871 --> 01:01:44,178
They remind me of my childhood,
it was so magical.
1295
01:01:44,265 --> 01:01:47,268
Any chance you have a box
of those old Christmas lights
1296
01:01:47,355 --> 01:01:49,444
collecting dust
in an attic somewhere?
1297
01:01:49,531 --> 01:01:52,273
Oh, we don't even have an attic.
1298
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,232
But we do have a shed.
1299
01:01:55,450 --> 01:01:57,670
All right.
1300
01:01:57,757 --> 01:02:00,717
-Well, here, you check this one.
-Okay.
1301
01:02:05,373 --> 01:02:08,115
Ah. The '90s.
1302
01:02:08,159 --> 01:02:11,902
Michael Jordan, Elaine Benes
and classic Christmas lights.
1303
01:02:13,642 --> 01:02:15,253
All right.
1304
01:02:15,340 --> 01:02:16,689
Who's in charge
of untangling these?
1305
01:02:16,776 --> 01:02:19,823
This is a two-person job.
1306
01:02:19,910 --> 01:02:21,476
[Matt] There is is one problem,
the festival's tonight,
1307
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,174
my dad was supposed
to help me set up,
1308
01:02:23,261 --> 01:02:25,176
but with his ankle, that's
not exactly an option anymore.
1309
01:02:25,263 --> 01:02:26,612
And I know you're gonna offer
to help with this--
1310
01:02:26,699 --> 01:02:29,397
I wasn't gonna offer to help.
1311
01:02:29,484 --> 01:02:32,096
Oh, right, you have that big
Christmas Eve deadline tonight.
1312
01:02:32,183 --> 01:02:33,662
-I'm kidding!
-I shouldn't have assumed.
1313
01:02:33,706 --> 01:02:37,318
And by the way,
I only have the ending left.
1314
01:02:37,405 --> 01:02:39,756

we can't do it all ourselves.

01:05:24,224 --> 01:05:27,749
Kacey, we won! Ha-ha!

-[indistinct chatter]
-Son!
1369
01:05:30,665 --> 01:05:33,538
It's official.
You saved Christmas.
1370
01:05:33,625 --> 01:05:35,409
What? I barely did anything.
1371
01:05:35,496 --> 01:05:37,977
Oh, right,
no, just the cookie decorating.
1372
01:05:38,064 --> 01:05:39,326
-And the Lights Festival--
-Okay, okay.
1373
01:05:39,413 --> 01:05:40,545
If you wanna put up
1374
01:05:40,632 --> 01:05:41,589
a life-size statue of me
1375
01:05:41,633 --> 01:05:42,590
in front of town hall...
1376
01:05:42,677 --> 01:05:44,418
-I'll allow it.
-Oh.
1377
01:05:44,505 --> 01:05:45,854
And we can put a plaque
underneath that says
1378
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:47,465
"Izzi saves Christmas."
1379
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:52,949
There's a little something
between the two of you.
1380
01:05:53,036 --> 01:05:54,820
-Isn't there?
-What?
1381
01:05:54,863 --> 01:05:56,474
Wait, did he say something?
1382
01:05:56,561 --> 01:05:58,911
Well, that answers
that question.
1383
01:05:58,998 --> 01:06:01,609
So have you talked to him?
Does he know how you feel?
1384
01:06:01,696 --> 01:06:04,264
-Not exactly.
-Why not?
1385
01:06:04,351 --> 01:06:07,050
Well, I'm just waiting
for the right moment.
1386
01:06:07,137 --> 01:06:09,617
Oh. Well, now's your chance.
1387
01:06:09,704 --> 01:06:12,055
He's coming,
so I'm just gonna go pretend...
1388
01:06:12,142 --> 01:06:14,057
-Like I have something to do.
-Wait.
1389
01:06:14,144 --> 01:06:15,623
It's not pretending if you're
telling me it's pretending.
1390
01:06:15,710 --> 01:06:18,148
-Sarah!
-Hey, Sarah.
1391
01:06:18,235 --> 01:06:20,977
Hiya. Yeah, well,
I'm real busy right now. Ah.
1392
01:06:21,064 --> 01:06:22,543
-It's nine 9 o'clock at night.
-[Sarah] I'll just, uh...
1393
01:06:22,630 --> 01:06:25,851
-[Sarah] Cookies, baking.
-[sighs] Okay.
1394
01:06:30,899 --> 01:06:34,251
-Hey.
-And where have you been?
1395
01:06:34,338 --> 01:06:36,035
Oh, gloating.
1396
01:06:36,122 --> 01:06:38,995
-Y-you were not!
-There's some--
1397
01:06:39,082 --> 01:06:40,997
-So I wanted--
-Uh...
1398
01:06:41,084 --> 01:06:43,086
Okay. No, you go ahead.
1399
01:06:43,173 --> 01:06:45,262
Yeah, okay,
uh, well, there's something,
1400
01:06:45,349 --> 01:06:46,741
something I've been wanting
to tell you.
1401
01:06:46,828 --> 01:06:48,178
Oh, right. That, yeah.
1402
01:06:48,221 --> 01:06:49,744
Remember when we got locked
in your room?
1403
01:06:49,788 --> 01:06:51,877
Sorry, of course
you remember that.
1404
01:06:51,964 --> 01:06:54,967
Okay,
when we were talking about...
1405
01:06:55,054 --> 01:06:58,188
Y-you know how you thought
that I looked...
1406
01:06:59,363 --> 01:07:02,018
like your main character
Desmond?
1407
01:07:02,105 --> 01:07:03,802
The thing is, it's actually
the other way around.
1408
01:07:03,889 --> 01:07:06,283
He looks like me.
1409
01:07:06,370 --> 01:07:07,762
Wait, what do you mean?
1410
01:07:07,849 --> 01:07:10,722
My wife, Emily, was a painter.
1411
01:07:10,809 --> 01:07:13,029
She commissioned her art
for all sorts of different jobs.
1412
01:07:13,072 --> 01:07:15,683
Portraits, brochures,
print ads...
1413
01:07:17,163 --> 01:07:18,599
book covers.
1414
01:07:18,686 --> 01:07:20,253
I recognized your cover art
instantly.
1415
01:07:20,340 --> 01:07:21,820
I mean, she didn't paint
that one, but she was--
1416
01:07:21,907 --> 01:07:24,910
-She was the original artist.
-Yeah.
1417
01:07:24,997 --> 01:07:28,087
Yeah, she sometimes used me
as inspiration for her...
1418
01:07:28,131 --> 01:07:29,958
It doesn't matter.
1419
01:07:30,046 --> 01:07:34,354
I had no idea that book
became a series. Your series.
1420
01:07:34,441 --> 01:07:37,879
Wow. I mean...
1421
01:07:37,966 --> 01:07:41,622
I don't know, but, wow.
1422
01:07:41,709 --> 01:07:43,624
-Seems to be the consensus.
-I mean...
1423
01:07:43,711 --> 01:07:45,148
The odds of this...
1424
01:07:45,191 --> 01:07:50,109
Yeah, I don't even know
what, what this is,
1425
01:07:50,196 --> 01:07:54,070
but past few days,
you and I, we've...
1426
01:07:55,375 --> 01:07:58,161
I know you've...
1427
01:07:58,248 --> 01:07:59,771
I think I just need a little
time to figure out
1428
01:07:59,858 --> 01:08:02,121
what it means. You know?
1429
01:08:02,165 --> 01:08:04,167
Yeah. Um...
1430
01:08:04,254 --> 01:08:07,648
I can only imagine
what's going through your head.
1431

Thank you for understanding.
1432
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,438
Well, I better go.
1433
01:08:14,481 --> 01:08:16,048
I have a few pages
still to write.
1434
01:08:16,135 --> 01:08:18,311
-So...
-Of course. Right, right.
1435
01:08:18,355 --> 01:08:19,791
Uh, Izzi.
1436
01:08:21,575 --> 01:08:23,621
Merry Christmas.

I'm not gonna lie, I had my eye
on you since you were back,

But don't say anything
to him yet

to iron out the details,

I just got off the phone
with Jennifer.

[sighs] She asked if I would
volunteer for the town board.
1547
01:16:10,348 --> 01:16:12,916
I would oversee
all the Christmas activities,
1548

I'd help out

about the book,

-Really?
-[Mila] Yes!

This version of Desmond has
this new depth and vulnerability

the publisher will go for it.

They want an ever after.
They want a happy ending.

Maybe that's not what
real love is, though.
1611

it ends with a broken heart.

01:25:01,357 --> 01:25:04,099
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.
1706
01:25:13,238 --> 01:25:16,154
[instrumental music]
1707
01:25:16,241 --> 01:25:19,114
[indistinct chatter]
1708
01:25:27,905 --> 01:25:31,909
I gotta say, I like Matt
even better than Desmond Ranes.
1709
01:25:31,996 --> 01:25:33,650
Plus, he inspired
Christmas In The Alps,
1710
01:25:33,693 --> 01:25:35,217
which is my favorite one yet.
1711
01:25:35,304 --> 01:25:36,696
And your best-reviewed.
1712
01:25:36,783 --> 01:25:39,003
Okay, okay,
don't get a big head.
1713
01:25:39,046 --> 01:25:41,484
-Too late.
-[chuckles]
1714
01:25:41,571 --> 01:25:45,705
Kacey, I want you to meet
my friend and editor, Mila.
1715
01:25:45,792 --> 01:25:47,272
-Hi.
-Hello.
1716
01:25:47,359 --> 01:25:50,536
This is a very talented
and up-and-coming writer.
1717
01:25:50,623 --> 01:25:55,019
-Is that so?
-And I have a lot of ideas.
1718
01:25:55,106 --> 01:25:58,022
Well, I think
we should step into my office.
1719
01:25:59,023 --> 01:26:00,851
[Matt chuckles]
1720
01:26:00,894 --> 01:26:04,028
So what's next
for the bestselling novelist
1721
01:26:04,071 --> 01:26:07,249
and recently-engaged
Izzi Simmons?
1722
01:26:07,336 --> 01:26:08,728
'Cause I've a few thoughts.
1723
01:26:08,815 --> 01:26:10,730
-Oh, really?
-Well...
1724
01:26:10,774 --> 01:26:14,386
Maybe the new-and-improved
Desmond is a Navy scuba diver
1725
01:26:14,430 --> 01:26:16,214
in Hawaii.
1726
01:26:16,301 --> 01:26:18,216
Though, you and your fiance
would probably have to do
1727
01:26:18,260 --> 01:26:20,087
a lot of research.
1728
01:26:20,131 --> 01:26:23,047
-I like the sound of that.
-Yeah.
1729
01:26:23,134 --> 01:26:25,180
-[instrumental music]
-Come on.
1730
01:26:37,453 --> 01:26:38,889
Yeah.
1731
01:26:45,983 --> 01:26:48,899
[instrumental music]
1732
01:27:18,885 --> 01:27:21,888
[music continues]
