[newscaster]
Unfortunately,
today an upper ankle sprain
4
00:00:32,641 --> 00:00:34,904
has ended the promising
rise of Winter Olympic hopeful,
Abigail Simpson,
5
00:00:34,904 --> 00:00:36,949
eliminating her
from the semifinal trials.
6
00:00:36,949 --> 00:00:38,864
We wish her a complete
and speedy recovery.
7
00:00:38,864 --> 00:00:41,824
Maybe we'll see her
again in four years. -
[click]
8
00:00:41,824 --> 00:00:46,002
[Abigail]
And that is how you
do not execute a camel spin.
9
00:00:46,002 --> 00:00:47,656
[Kaylee]
Were you hurt badly?
10
00:00:47,656 --> 00:00:49,701
[Abigail]
Nothing I couldn't recover from,
11
00:00:49,701 --> 00:00:51,660
but enough to pull me
from my spot.
12
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:53,705
Why didn't you try again?
13
00:00:53,705 --> 00:00:57,057
It took everything
my parents could muster
to get me that far
14
00:00:57,057 --> 00:01:00,103
and I didn't wanna wait
another four years.
15
00:01:00,103 --> 00:01:01,148
My plans had changed.
16
00:01:02,236 --> 00:01:04,238
I decided I
wanted to teach
17
00:01:04,238 --> 00:01:07,458
and coach the next group
of Olympic hopefuls
18
00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:10,157
- which is you guys.
- [chuckles softly]
19
00:01:10,157 --> 00:01:13,464
Now, go put your skates on.
We've a lot of hard work
before the Christmas Ice Parade.
20
00:01:19,905 --> 00:01:21,864
[Janet]
That must have been hard
to watch.
21
00:01:21,864 --> 00:01:24,040
[Abigail]
Trust me, Janet, it was.
22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,825
But showing it to the class
makes a point.
23
00:01:26,825 --> 00:01:29,654
- Which is?
- Don't get cocky
24
00:01:29,654 --> 00:01:31,743
and start believing
in your own publicity.
25
00:01:32,396 --> 00:01:33,441
Let's go.
26
00:01:36,052 --> 00:01:38,141

[scratching]
29
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:42,292
[Janet] Hey,
why not do
a little advertising?
30
00:02:42,292 --> 00:02:44,381
We can offer some sort of
discount code,
31
00:02:44,381 --> 00:02:47,036
or special beginner class,
32
00:02:47,036 --> 00:02:48,951
make a great stocking stuffer.
33
00:02:48,951 --> 00:02:51,736
And how you think
I'm gonna pay for advertising?
My good looks?
34
00:02:51,736 --> 00:02:53,173
Exactly!
35
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:55,479
Abbie, you were almost famous.
36
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,742
You still are!
37
00:02:57,742 --> 00:03:01,355
Look, let's plaster your name
and picture on a poster.
38
00:03:01,355 --> 00:03:03,922
We could put them all over town.
39
00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:06,751
We're already promoting
the Christmas Ice Parade.
40
00:03:06,751 --> 00:03:08,013
Let's make it more interesting.
41
00:03:08,013 --> 00:03:09,145
Look, I don't know.
42
00:03:09,145 --> 00:03:11,016
It, it sounds desperate.
43
00:03:11,016 --> 00:03:12,583
Like I'm giving up.
44
00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:13,845
You listen to yourself?
45
00:03:13,845 --> 00:03:15,369
Isn't that
what you're already doing?
46
00:03:15,369 --> 00:03:16,805
Giving up?
47
00:03:16,805 --> 00:03:19,634
Wow. Aren't you supposed to be
my best friend?
48
00:03:19,634 --> 00:03:21,505
- Your bestest.
- Okay.
49
00:03:21,505 --> 00:03:23,812
- Well,
then go supervise the kids.
- Oh.
50
00:03:24,378 --> 00:03:25,379
Aye, aye, Captain.
51
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:27,598
And don't look so down.
52
00:03:27,598 --> 00:03:29,339
You act like
you're the only person
53
00:03:29,339 --> 00:03:30,819
to ever go through
something like this.
54
00:03:32,081 --> 00:03:33,387
What if I am?
55
00:03:33,387 --> 00:03:35,084
What if you're not?
56
00:03:35,084 --> 00:03:36,346
Goodbye.
57
00:03:36,346 --> 00:03:37,739
Mm-hmm.
58
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:43,179
[lively Christmas music]
59
00:04:09,074 --> 00:04:10,946
[tray rattling]
60
00:04:22,610 --> 00:04:26,004
[John in RP accent]
No. Go! Get it outta the zone.
Get it outta the zone.
61
00:04:26,004 --> 00:04:27,354
Go! No!
62
00:04:27,354 --> 00:04:29,573
- No. Come back!
Get him. Get him.
- [sighs]
63
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,401
[John]
You can do it. You can do it.
64
00:04:31,401 --> 00:04:33,838
Stop him. Stop him.
Don't let him get there.
65
00:04:33,838 --> 00:04:35,710
- No! Stop!
- [referee whistles on TV]
66
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:38,016
Stop! Aah!
67
00:04:38,016 --> 00:04:40,323
[cheering on TV]
68
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,543
It's impossible.
It's bloody impossible.
69
00:04:42,543 --> 00:04:44,414
And, yet... [sighs]
70
00:04:45,241 --> 00:04:47,330
And yet... it's true.
71
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:48,766
- [flicks TV switch]
- [mischievous music]
72
00:04:48,766 --> 00:04:49,724
We lost.
73
00:04:49,724 --> 00:04:52,292
Oh, dear. Again, Your Highness?
74
00:04:52,292 --> 00:04:53,815
Again.
75
00:04:55,251 --> 00:04:58,950
Defeat snatched
from the jaws of victory.
76
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:01,170
Perhaps this will help you
calm yourself.
77
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:03,607
[stutters] How can I be calm
at a moment like this?
78
00:05:04,391 --> 00:05:06,349
It is but a game, Your Highness.
79
00:05:06,349 --> 00:05:07,437
But a game?
80
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:09,874
Are you serious, Marshall?
81
00:05:09,874 --> 00:05:11,485
There's no such thing
as but a game.
82
00:05:12,355 --> 00:05:13,400
If you say so, sir.
83
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,576
I do say so!
84
00:05:15,576 --> 00:05:17,447
Hockey is not just a game,
85
00:05:17,447 --> 00:05:18,796
it's a sport.
86
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:21,233
[sighs sharply]
87
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:22,974
It's my sport.
88
00:05:22,974 --> 00:05:27,152
Of course, Your Highness,
and a very noble sport
it is too.
89
00:05:27,152 --> 00:05:30,460
But, every contest must have
a winner and a loser.
90
00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:33,071
Fair play and all that.
91
00:05:37,249 --> 00:05:39,556
Mm. [inhales]
92
00:05:40,731 --> 00:05:42,951
It's high time
I did something about it.
93
00:05:44,866 --> 00:05:48,522
You, sir? Do you plan
to take up the sport?
94
00:05:48,522 --> 00:05:51,176
Marshall, of course not.
95
00:05:52,221 --> 00:05:54,136
But I could buy a team.
96
00:05:54,136 --> 00:05:57,400
And that way, I'd have
some say in how things are done.
97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,185
Your own ice hockey team?
98
00:06:00,185 --> 00:06:02,362
Certainly a bold idea,
Prince John.
99
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,538
And one you should pursue
in the new year.
100
00:06:04,538 --> 00:06:06,670
Don't be silly, Marshall.
101
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:08,933
I plan on moving forward
on this business immediately.
102
00:06:10,152 --> 00:06:11,893
As in right now.
103
00:06:11,893 --> 00:06:15,287
[stutters] But, Your Highness,
the Royal Family
is your business.
104
00:06:15,287 --> 00:06:19,030
[scoffs] Please,
you sound like my mother.
105
00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:22,599
Look, I'm the youngest son
in the monarchy of sons.
106
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:25,080
- I will never be king.
- - True.
107
00:06:26,777 --> 00:06:29,040
LI need to have somethingn
in ton my own.y of sons.
108
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,391
Something that belongs to me,
something that
I'm passionate about.
109
00:06:32,609 --> 00:06:35,656
Something that's really mine,
away from the family.
110
00:06:37,571 --> 00:06:40,965
What better
than my own sports franchise?
111
00:06:40,965 --> 00:06:42,227
Minor League, of course,
112
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:43,707
but how fantastic.
113
00:06:44,578 --> 00:06:46,362
- Of course.
- [John chuckles]
114
00:06:46,362 --> 00:06:49,365
And then, all the profits
from the merchandising
115
00:06:49,365 --> 00:06:50,932
will go direrectly
back to the people...
116
00:06:52,368 --> 00:06:54,631
by way of
my preexisting charities.
117
00:06:54,631 --> 00:06:56,111
Very noble, Your Highness,
118
00:06:56,111 --> 00:06:58,896
but how do you plan
to achieve this?
119
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:02,422
- By going to America.
- America?
120
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:04,902
Yes, I can't manage
all of this on my own.
121
00:07:04,902 --> 00:07:07,427
I need to go there
to set up a co-venture.
122
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:08,819
Partnership of sorts.
123
00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:10,691
I need to go there
[mischievous music continues]
124
00:07:14,172 --> 00:07:15,913
[Marshall]
"Daryl Blake."
125
00:07:15,913 --> 00:07:18,002
I've a meeting with him
in a few days.
126
00:07:18,002 --> 00:07:21,049
I have a very small
window of opportunity.
127
00:07:21,049 --> 00:07:23,530
- I'm planning on seizing it.
- But, Your Highness,
128
00:07:23,530 --> 00:07:26,402
the Royal Christmas
Festivities are imminent.
129
00:07:26,402 --> 00:07:28,099
You're expected to be there.
130
00:07:28,099 --> 00:07:30,493
I will, Marshall, I'll be there.
131
00:07:30,493 --> 00:07:32,713
But I have to do this
first. It means everything to me.
132
00:07:32,713 --> 00:07:34,889
[sighs deeply]
133
00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:37,369
And I need your silence.
134
00:07:37,369 --> 00:07:39,067
Can I count on you?
135
00:07:41,069 --> 00:07:42,026
Mm-hmm.
136
00:07:42,026 --> 00:07:44,507
Ah, good.
137
00:07:44,507 --> 00:07:46,204
Silence is golden.
138
00:07:46,204 --> 00:07:47,510
I have a plane to catch.
139
00:07:50,774 --> 00:07:53,168
- And see that these
are taken care of?
- Yes.
140
00:08:04,222 --> 00:08:06,486
- [lively Christmas music]
- [sighs]
141
00:08:58,494 --> 00:09:01,279
- [Daryl] Oh, there he is.
- Mr. Blake.
142
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,021
Your Highness,
please call me Daryl.
143
00:09:04,021 --> 00:09:06,241
Okay then, Daryl.
144
00:09:06,241 --> 00:09:08,678
Uh, in fact, why don't we
dispense with the formalities?
145
00:09:08,678 --> 00:09:10,550
Uh, my name is John,
so we won't be needing
146
00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:12,900
any of the royal designations
from here on out.
147
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,815
Are you sure?
A royal title can open
148
00:09:14,815 --> 00:09:17,208
an awful lot of doors
in a town like this.
149
00:09:17,208 --> 00:09:18,906
And the accent
doesn't hurt either.
150
00:09:18,906 --> 00:09:21,386
Yeah, it can also close
a lot of doors.
151
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:23,258
Can even double
the price of admission.
152
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:25,434
So, let's just keep it
in our back pocket,
153
00:09:25,434 --> 00:09:27,958
as you Americans say,
until it's useful.
154
00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:29,612
Whatever you say, Prince.
155
00:09:29,612 --> 00:09:32,441
I mean... John. [chuckles]
156
00:09:32,441 --> 00:09:35,444
- Care to take a walk?
- Uh, absolutely. Lead on.
157
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,363
[John]
So you see,
what I'd like to do next
158
00:09:41,363 --> 00:09:42,669
is to assemble
a short list
159
00:09:42,669 --> 00:09:44,061
of potential investors, huh,
160
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:46,977
to come on board to help
make this team a reality.
161
00:09:46,977 --> 00:09:49,850
I'm thinking of calling it
"The Monarchy."
162
00:09:50,415 --> 00:09:52,374
The Monarchy.
163
00:09:52,374 --> 00:09:54,463
I love that. Very clever.
164
00:09:54,463 --> 00:09:57,901
And with you as the face
of the franchise, well,
it's a perfect fit.
165
00:09:57,901 --> 00:09:59,555
Oh, I couldn't agree more.
166
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:03,646
- Ready to see your future?
- Indeed, I am. Lead on.
167
00:10:04,212 --> 00:10:05,169
Right this way.
168
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,651
[John sighs]
169
00:10:08,651 --> 00:10:10,653
Now, even though
they are minor league franchise,
170
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:12,133
we've made arrangements
for the team
171
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,701
to play in the finest arenas
the sport has to offer.
172
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:17,355
Like this. What do you think?
173
00:10:17,355 --> 00:10:19,531
[John]
It's beyond grand, Daryl.
174
00:10:19,531 --> 00:10:20,837
Something I've only
dreamed of. - Yeah.
175
00:10:20,837 --> 00:10:22,709
We're gonna make
that dream become a reality.
176
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:23,623
You understand?
177
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:24,885
I mean, look at this.
178
00:10:24,885 --> 00:10:26,843
Luxury boxes,
five-star restaurants,
179
00:10:26,843 --> 00:10:29,803
cocktail lounges,
celebrity endorsements by the dozen.
180
00:10:29,803 --> 00:10:33,197
You name it.
It's all there for the taking.
181
00:10:33,197 --> 00:10:35,852
[exhales sharply]
This is all so fantastic.
182
00:10:37,245 --> 00:10:38,855
I'm sold.
183
00:10:38,855 --> 00:10:40,640
What do we need to do
to make this happen?
184
00:10:41,902 --> 00:10:43,643
I'll tell you
what we need to do.
185
00:10:46,210 --> 00:10:47,168
We leave town.
186
00:10:48,386 --> 00:10:50,650
- Leave town?
- Yep. Leave town.
187
00:10:51,563 --> 00:10:53,348
I am afraid I'm not following.
188
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,959
Prince,
professional sports franchises
are all over the place.
189
00:10:55,959 --> 00:10:57,744
The Buffalo Bills
play at Orchard Park.
190
00:10:57,744 --> 00:10:59,920
The Los Angeles Angels
are in Anaheim.
191
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,139
The Giants don't even play
in the same state.
192
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:05,447
We move outside the mainstream,
193
00:11:05,447 --> 00:11:07,797
build d our training facility,
our base camp,
194
00:11:07,797 --> 00:11:11,018
and we g everything
we alwlways dreamed of
at a fraction of the ct.
195
00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:13,760
Yes. Now I'm
following you.
196
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,587
I think I've got
just the location.
197
00:11:16,197 --> 00:11:17,198
Evanston.
198
00:11:17,198 --> 00:11:18,634
- Evanston.
- Yep.
199
00:11:18,634 --> 00:11:20,592
The Evanston Monarchy.
200
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:23,030
- Ooh!
- That's where you build.
201
00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:26,207
In a small town,
not some gigantic metropolis.
202
00:11:26,207 --> 00:11:28,818
Instead, an elegant little town
203
00:11:28,818 --> 00:11:31,908
that becomestown,
notthe home of your brand.is.
204
00:11:31,908 --> 00:11:35,129
And you know what?
I've gotta a lead
on the perfect location there.
205
00:11:36,521 --> 00:11:38,785
[stutters] You,
you think about it.
206
00:11:38,785 --> 00:11:42,484
- Oh, I, I am.
I, I am thinking about it.
- Better yet,
207
00:11:42,484 --> 00:11:45,835
you, you should go up
there. Check it out for yourself.
208
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:48,142
Yeah.
It's less than an hour away.
209
00:11:48,142 --> 00:11:49,534
That's a great idea.
210
00:11:51,058 --> 00:11:53,887
Just don't breathe a word
of this to anybody, okay?
211
00:11:53,887 --> 00:11:56,672
News gets out,
press goes up, up, up.
212
00:11:56,672 --> 00:12:00,720
Play your cards right,
all this... can be yours.
213
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:05,725
[sighs] Understood. Thank you.
214
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:06,769
Thank you.
215
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:11,426
[gentle Christmas music]
216
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:28,138
Lee, shoulder's back.
217
00:12:29,226 --> 00:12:30,184
Head up.
218
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:35,058
That's beautiful, Jamie.
I love it.
219
00:12:40,107 --> 00:12:42,065
[Curtis]
I never could get
the hang of ice-skating.
220
00:12:42,805 --> 00:12:45,460
You make it look so effortless.
221
00:12:46,504 --> 00:12:47,810
Let me guess.
You didn't come here
222
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,638
to watch the kids skate,
did you?
223
00:12:51,683 --> 00:12:54,469
- No.
- Look, if it's about the rent
for the classroom space,
224
00:12:54,469 --> 00:12:56,993
- I'll have it soon.
- [sighs] Listen, Abbie.
225
00:12:56,993 --> 00:12:59,779
- I love what you're doing
with these kids.
- [melancholic music]
226
00:13:00,388 --> 00:13:01,650
But...?
227
00:13:01,650 --> 00:13:03,347
The owner of this building
228
00:13:03,347 --> 00:13:05,567
is thinking of closing it entirely.
229
00:13:06,873 --> 00:13:10,050
- Wait, are you serious?
- Absolutely.
230
00:13:10,050 --> 00:13:11,834
I think they want
to turn it into something else
231
00:13:11,834 --> 00:13:14,750
or maybe even sell it completely.
232
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:17,318
Mr. Curtis, I need this place.
233
00:13:17,318 --> 00:13:19,146
This is where my classroom is.
234
00:13:20,538 --> 00:13:23,019
Look, it's Christmas.
I really need the money.
235
00:13:23,019 --> 00:13:24,281
- Mm.
- Come on.
236
00:13:24,281 --> 00:13:26,544
We're working on some really
big promotions.
237
00:13:26,544 --> 00:13:29,199
Promotions? What kind?
238
00:13:29,199 --> 00:13:30,592
Your Christmas Ice Parade?
239
00:13:31,593 --> 00:13:33,987
So how are ticket sales
going over that?
240
00:13:33,987 --> 00:13:37,686
Well, they, they could
be better, but they're steady.
241
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,601
That's good to
hear, Abbie.
242
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:41,037
I'll see you in a week.
243
00:13:43,648 --> 00:13:47,565
[lively Christmas music]
244
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:06,019
And then Bradley's pass
gets deflected in the end zone
245
00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:09,326
and still caught by Johnson
for a touchdown.
246
00:14:09,326 --> 00:14:11,633
Craziest thing
I've ever seen in my life.
247
00:14:11,633 --> 00:14:13,156
- [Abigail] Hey, Al.
- [doorbell chimes]
248
00:14:13,156 --> 00:14:14,897
Hey, Abbie.
249
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:16,333
You, uh,
come for your momma's cake?
250
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:18,509
- You bet. Is it ready?
- Sure is.
251
00:14:18,509 --> 00:14:19,946
- Just gimme a second.
- Okay.
252
00:14:19,946 --> 00:14:22,078
[sighs deeply]
253
00:14:22,078 --> 00:14:24,124
[lively Christmas music]
254
00:14:39,052 --> 00:14:40,401
[horn honks]
255
00:14:42,664 --> 00:14:43,883
[sighs]
256
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:50,890
All right.
257
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,067
Here it is.
258
00:14:54,067 --> 00:14:56,634
It's as nice as I can make it.
259
00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:59,289
And it's paid for already,
so you can take her away.
260
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:00,725
It's beautiful.
261
00:15:00,725 --> 00:15:01,944
Will I see you
at the party tonight?
262
00:15:01,944 --> 00:15:04,468
I got an after-hours delivery
coming in,
263
00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:06,253
eggnog frozen yogurt,
264
00:15:06,253 --> 00:15:08,820
but maybe, if it doesn't get
too late, I could still stop by.
265
00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:12,085
Sounds good. Oh, and
thanks for putting up the poster.
266
00:15:12,085 --> 00:15:13,695
[Al]
No problem.
267
00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:15,871
But, hey, how come your name
is not on the poster?
268
00:15:15,871 --> 00:15:18,178
Because it's not about me.
It's about the students.
269
00:15:18,178 --> 00:15:21,442
Hey, people would pay big
money to see you skate again.
270
00:15:21,442 --> 00:15:22,922
Al, please.
271
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:25,620
[chuckles]
You'd sell a lot more tickets.
272
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:28,188
Guaranteteed box office.
273
00:15:28,188 --> 00:15:29,754
I'll think about it.
274
00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:31,060
- Thanks again.
- All right.
275
00:15:33,715 --> 00:15:36,152
[cheerful Christmas music]
276
00:15:42,419 --> 00:15:43,594
Hey, hey!
277
00:15:44,552 --> 00:15:45,640
Merry Christmas, Abigail.
278
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,034
Oh, Merry Christmas, Don.
279
00:15:48,556 --> 00:15:49,644
[Abigail]
Merry ChristOh!, Abigail.
280
00:15:49,644 --> 00:15:50,950
[John]
Oh, dear! Here.
281
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:51,994
[Abigail]
Oh, no.
282
00:15:51,994 --> 00:15:53,430
I am so sorry.
283
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:54,779
Let me help.
284
00:15:57,260 --> 00:16:00,002
[Abigail]
No, it's ruined.
285
00:16:00,002 --> 00:16:01,134
Well, I'm sure we can fix it.
286
00:16:02,048 --> 00:16:04,528
[mischievous music]
287
00:16:04,528 --> 00:16:07,444
I, I'm sorry, Abbie, there's
nothing I can do with this.
288
00:16:07,444 --> 00:16:10,012
I knew it.
My mom's gonna kill me.
289
00:16:10,012 --> 00:16:11,927
[John]
Do you think
you can make another one?
290
00:16:11,927 --> 00:16:13,537
In time for tonight's
winter festival?
291
00:16:13,537 --> 00:16:14,974
I don't think so.
292
00:16:16,062 --> 00:16:17,106
I mean, can we?
293
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:20,022
- Maybe.
- Uh, how much time do you need?
294
00:16:20,022 --> 00:16:22,285
A few hours at least.
I, I, I'm swamped today.
295
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:26,333
- [sighs] Still have
so much to do before tonight.
- Look,
296
00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:27,769
I feel terrible
about this.
297
00:16:27,769 --> 00:16:30,511
Let me pay for a new cake.
It's the least I can do.
298
00:16:32,904 --> 00:16:34,515
- Works for me.
- [Abigail] Okay.
299
00:16:34,515 --> 00:16:36,517
Thanks, Al.
I'll come by later tonight.
300
00:16:37,909 --> 00:16:39,520
Hey, excuse me.
301
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,565
Uh, sorry,
I didn't catch your name.
302
00:16:42,479 --> 00:16:43,872
It's Abigail.
303
00:16:43,872 --> 00:16:44,873
I'm John.
304
00:16:44,873 --> 00:16:47,136
[mellow music]
305
00:16:59,627 --> 00:17:01,716
[mischievous music]
306
00:17:02,891 --> 00:17:04,023
Hey.
307
00:17:05,154 --> 00:17:06,851
Hey, Abbie, wait up.
308
00:17:06,851 --> 00:17:09,071
- [chuckles softly]
- Hey, Chad.
309
00:17:09,071 --> 00:17:10,638
I heard you were in town.
310
00:17:10,638 --> 00:17:13,249
Oh, you look a little down,
is something wrong?
311
00:17:13,249 --> 00:17:16,513
Uh, the cake for tonight's party
got ruined, but that's all.
312
00:17:16,513 --> 00:17:19,342
[laughs] That's rough.
313
00:17:19,342 --> 00:17:22,780
- Look, I,
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
- Then, I won't keep you.
314
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,913
Listen, ever since
I got back into town,
315
00:17:24,913 --> 00:17:27,655
I've just been thinking
a lot about you.
316
00:17:27,655 --> 00:17:28,612
- Really?
- [chuckles softly]
317
00:17:28,612 --> 00:17:30,571
Well, that's flattering.
318
00:17:30,571 --> 00:17:33,878
Look, I know I'm not
the quarterback of the varsity
football team anymore
319
00:17:33,878 --> 00:17:36,142
and you're not
The Princess On Ice,
320
00:17:36,142 --> 00:17:40,929
but it doesn't mean we can
give it another shot, right?
321
00:17:40,929 --> 00:17:43,540
I've just been thinking
a lot about the future.
322
00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:48,154
Now, maybe there might be
a future for us.
323
00:17:48,154 --> 00:17:50,591
That's really sweet, but I have
a lot on my plate right now.
324
00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,375
[chuckles] I hear you.
325
00:17:53,202 --> 00:17:54,856
But on a more serious note, um,
326
00:17:54,856 --> 00:17:57,119
the real estate market around
here is exploding and expanding,
327
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,601
and Mr. Curtis has
some really big plans for me.
328
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:02,516
Yeah, I saw him earlier too.
329
00:18:02,516 --> 00:18:04,213
He told me someone's
trying to convert
330
00:18:04,213 --> 00:18:06,737
the ice rink
into something more profitable.
331
00:18:06,737 --> 00:18:10,089
I mean, I've heard
a few things, but those are
just rumors, Abbie.
332
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:11,525
I'm sure there are
other ice rinks.
333
00:18:13,614 --> 00:18:16,138
You know, I could really be
of some assistance to you,
if you'd just let me.
334
00:18:17,444 --> 00:18:19,402
All I need is
you back in my life again.
335
00:18:20,751 --> 00:18:24,059
Look, there's a lot of
reasons why people break up, Chad.
336
00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:26,105
We really tried, but...
337
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:28,672
we just weren't
the right couple.
338
00:18:28,672 --> 00:18:30,892
You know, and I could help you
with your school.
339
00:18:30,892 --> 00:18:32,894
We could be partners.
340
00:18:32,894 --> 00:18:34,504
You could hire some teachers.
I mean,
341
00:18:34,504 --> 00:18:37,159
why keep risking your health
out there on the ice, you know?
342
00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:38,508
You got lucky once.
343
00:18:38,508 --> 00:18:39,988
Could have been a lot worse.
344
00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:41,555
Yeah, but it wasn't.
345
00:18:42,730 --> 00:18:44,123
I know you.
346
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,037
And I know you wouldn't be
sitting on the sideline,
347
00:18:46,037 --> 00:18:48,562
not competing
if you weren't worried too.
348
00:18:50,607 --> 00:18:52,087
Let me take that worry away.
349
00:18:53,393 --> 00:18:54,568
Come on.
350
00:18:55,395 --> 00:18:58,137
I'll think about it. Okay?
351
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:00,095
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
352
00:19:04,534 --> 00:19:06,406
[solemn music]
353
00:19:08,886 --> 00:19:10,497
[Marshall]
Just because
your brother's not seen out
354
00:19:10,497 --> 00:19:12,890
with the same woman
on his arm every night,
355
00:19:12,890 --> 00:19:14,762
why do people
find that interesting?
356
00:19:14,762 --> 00:19:16,677
Honestly, he could easily
find himself a,
357
00:19:16,677 --> 00:19:18,722
a suitable heiress
who adores him.
358
00:19:18,722 --> 00:19:21,638
I mean, Mother would love that.
359
00:19:22,248 --> 00:19:23,858
But...
360
00:19:23,858 --> 00:19:25,555
he chooses the life
of a bachelor.
361
00:19:25,555 --> 00:19:28,167
[soft chuckle]
Unwilling to settle down.
362
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:29,603
Why is that, do you think?
363
00:19:29,603 --> 00:19:31,692
It's perfectly simple.
364
00:19:31,692 --> 00:19:34,042
He's never found a woman
fascinating enough
365
00:19:34,042 --> 00:19:36,087
to freeze him in his tracks.
366
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,092
You mean he's
never found a woman
who could hold her own with him?
367
00:19:41,092 --> 00:19:44,879
Perhaps, but don't give up
on himim just yet, Your Hiness.
368
00:19:44,879 --> 00:19:47,838
Wellgood luck
changing his mind.
369
00:19:47,838 --> 00:19:49,840
- [chuckles sarcastically]
- Have you seen this?
370
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,060
- What is it?
- See for yourself.
371
00:19:53,104 --> 00:19:54,149
Please, Marshall, sit.
372
00:20:00,677 --> 00:20:06,205
- A business plan?
- He's trying to start his own
professional ice hockey team
373
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:08,294
in America no less.
374
00:20:08,294 --> 00:20:09,904
- A business plan?
- He's trying to start his own
profesIce hockey team?y team
375
00:20:09,904 --> 00:20:12,385
His obsession with the sport
has finally gone to his head.
376
00:20:12,385 --> 00:20:15,257
He eats, sleeps and breathes
professional ice hockey.
377
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:17,477
[chuckling] He can't be serious.
378
00:20:17,477 --> 00:20:19,305
Oh, but he is.
379
00:20:19,305 --> 00:20:22,699
As he sees it,
he's finally going to do
something for himself,
380
00:20:22,699 --> 00:20:24,614
have something
all his own.
381
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:26,225
And...
382
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,184
I can understand
where he's coming from.
383
00:20:30,794 --> 00:20:32,318
I mean,
384
00:20:32,318 --> 00:20:33,928
I knew he was head over heels
for the sport,
385
00:20:33,928 --> 00:20:35,538
but I didn't realize
it had gone this far.
386
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:38,541
What ever will Mother think?
387
00:20:39,716 --> 00:20:41,588
Perhaps she doesn't need
to know about it.
388
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,678
Not just yet, anyway.
389
00:20:44,678 --> 00:20:47,637
I think we owe your brother
that much, don't you?
390
00:20:48,551 --> 00:20:50,553
[soft chuckle] Agreed.
391
00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:54,165
[gentle music]
392
00:21:01,738 --> 00:21:03,958
[grunts] Oh!
393
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:07,309
- Hey, I'm home.
- [Abigail] Hi, Mom.
394
00:21:07,309 --> 00:21:08,615
[door closes]
395
00:21:08,615 --> 00:21:10,051
- [Carol grunts]
- Oh, let me give you a hand.
396
00:21:10,051 --> 00:21:11,487
Oh, thanks.
Here, take the one under my arm
397
00:21:11,487 --> 00:21:13,359
before I drop it. [chuckles]
398
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,274
- Where's your father?
- Oh, he's at the center.
399
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:18,233
- He's decorating
for the party tonight.
- Oh, perfect.
400
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:21,541
I don't want him
snooping around in my packages.
[chuckles]
401
00:21:22,629 --> 00:21:24,152
Oh, did you buy him
something nice?
402
00:21:25,501 --> 00:21:27,286
Of course not.
403
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:28,374
I bought myself something.
404
00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:29,853
[chuckles]
405
00:21:29,853 --> 00:21:31,420
So what are you up to?
406
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:34,336
[sighs] I'm just making some
Christmas cards for my friends.
407
00:21:34,336 --> 00:21:37,339
- I don't have enough money
to buy gifts this year.
- I know.
408
00:21:37,339 --> 00:21:39,123
But they'll understand.
409
00:21:39,123 --> 00:21:41,952
Everything is going to be fine.
410
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:44,868
So, where's the cake?
411
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,479
[mischievous music]
412
00:21:46,479 --> 00:21:48,916
Uh, about that.
413
00:21:48,916 --> 00:21:50,352
Oh, no, don't tell me.
414
00:21:50,352 --> 00:21:52,180
Well, I went to pick it up today
415
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:54,225
and there was this guy
who wasn't looking
where he was going,
416
00:21:54,225 --> 00:21:57,054
and he ran right into me
and knocked it
right outta my hands.
417
00:21:58,534 --> 00:22:00,667
- It's ruined.
- Oh, dear.
418
00:22:00,667 --> 00:22:02,103
But, but, it's gonna be okay.
419
00:22:02,103 --> 00:22:03,539
They're making a new one.
They're gonna deliver it
420
00:22:03,539 --> 00:22:06,716
directly to the center,
so... everything's good.
421
00:22:07,413 --> 00:22:09,110
How are you? Are you okay?
422
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:10,633
[sad music]
423
00:22:10,633 --> 00:22:12,896
You mean, like, am I hurt?
424
00:22:12,896 --> 00:22:14,158
No, I'm fine.
425
00:22:15,682 --> 00:22:18,902
So who ran into you?
Was it anybody we know?
426
00:22:18,902 --> 00:22:20,643
Um, no, I don't think so.
427
00:22:20,643 --> 00:22:23,646
Some guy
with a fancy foreign accent.
428
00:22:23,646 --> 00:22:26,170
Maybe a, a John somebody.
429
00:22:26,780 --> 00:22:27,824
Hmm.
430
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:29,565
Was he handsome?
431
00:22:30,261 --> 00:22:31,175
Mother, please.
432
00:22:32,002 --> 00:22:33,917
Well, was he?
433
00:22:35,789 --> 00:22:36,833
Yeah.
434
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:40,141
- Hmm.
- [sighs deeply]
435
00:22:46,843 --> 00:22:49,150
[cellphone ringing]
436
00:22:55,112 --> 00:22:56,940
[click]
437
00:22:56,940 --> 00:22:59,203
- Marshall?
- [Marshall on the phone]
I'm sorry to disturb you,
438
00:22:59,203 --> 00:23:01,162
Your Highness, but I
was just ringing to see
439
00:23:01,162 --> 00:23:02,685
if you'd come
to your senses yet.
440
00:23:03,207 --> 00:23:04,208
Oh.
441
00:23:04,208 --> 00:23:06,036
[mischievous music]
442
00:23:06,036 --> 00:23:07,473
Absolutely not.
443
00:23:07,473 --> 00:23:10,389
Look, Prince John,
I'm very concerned about you,
444
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:13,957
- as is your brother.
- Roger? Concerned about me?
445
00:23:13,957 --> 00:23:15,872
[scoffs] How charming.
446
00:23:15,872 --> 00:23:17,178
Does my mother know
anything yet?
447
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:18,397
No, Your Highness,
448
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:20,703
I've been able to
cover for you thus far.
449
00:23:20,703 --> 00:23:23,576
Luckily, she's been very busy
with her holiday preparations.
450
00:23:23,576 --> 00:23:25,012
That's good, Marshall.
451
00:23:25,012 --> 00:23:28,319
But I cannot continue
this charade much longer.
452
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:30,539
She's bound to find out
sooner or later.
453
00:23:30,539 --> 00:23:32,367
So what if she does?
454
00:23:32,367 --> 00:23:33,934
I'm not a child anymore.
455
00:23:33,934 --> 00:23:36,458
I have a right to live
my own life as I see fit.
456
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:38,373
Most assuredly, sir.
457
00:23:38,373 --> 00:23:41,724
But you should
at least keep them abreast
of your movements.
458
00:23:41,724 --> 00:23:43,726
[John]
Of course, I will...
459
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:45,554
in time.
460
00:23:47,077 --> 00:23:48,165
I'll return shortly...
461
00:23:50,385 --> 00:23:51,821
when I'm ready.
462
00:23:51,821 --> 00:23:54,607
Your Highness, you're making
my job rather difficult.
463
00:23:54,607 --> 00:23:57,871
Well, at is my goal in life,
isn't it, Marshall?
464
00:23:57,871 --> 00:24:01,091
- [sighs]
- No if you'll excuse me,
465
00:24:01,657 --> 00:24:02,832
I have a party to attend.
466
00:24:02,832 --> 00:24:04,268
No, no, no.
467
00:24:04,268 --> 00:24:05,922
Please don't,
don't hang up on me.
468
00:24:05,922 --> 00:24:07,054
Merry Christmas, Marshall.
469
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:10,057
Merry Christmas, Your Highness.
470
00:24:10,405 --> 00:24:11,450
[click]
471
00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:18,413
Marshall!
472
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,763
Where is my son?
473
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:22,765
[Marshall]
Uh, Your Majesty.
474
00:24:22,765 --> 00:24:27,988
Well, uh, I, I believe he's
at the, uh, Royal Banquet Hall
475
00:24:27,988 --> 00:24:30,773
finalizing the menu
for Christmas brunch.
476
00:24:30,773 --> 00:24:33,515
I'm not asking you
about Prince Roger.
477
00:24:33,515 --> 00:24:37,388
I'm asking you
about my youngest son, John.
478
00:24:37,388 --> 00:24:39,521
He's about yay high
479
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:41,436
and not too big around.
480
00:24:41,436 --> 00:24:43,264
Of course, Your Majesty.
481
00:24:43,264 --> 00:24:44,787
Well, uh...
482
00:24:46,006 --> 00:24:48,661
I'm afraid, truth be told,
483
00:24:48,661 --> 00:24:50,097
he's, uh,
484
00:24:50,793 --> 00:24:52,316
gone off
485
00:24:52,316 --> 00:24:54,493
to America unexpectedly.
486
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,147
Ah, of course.
487
00:24:57,147 --> 00:25:01,543
So if this was, as you
suggest, an unexpected decision,
488
00:25:01,543 --> 00:25:06,461
he can't possibly have any
great amount of cash with him.
489
00:25:06,461 --> 00:25:10,509
He would have to rely heavily
on his credit cards.
490
00:25:11,684 --> 00:25:13,555
You know what to do then.
491
00:25:13,555 --> 00:25:15,165
Follow the trail.
492
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:20,649
Your Majesty.
493
00:25:22,608 --> 00:25:23,870
[sighs]
494
00:25:27,613 --> 00:25:28,918
[cellphone ringing]
495
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,706
[click]
496
00:25:33,706 --> 00:25:35,664
Marshall,
you need to stop phoning me.
497
00:25:35,664 --> 00:25:37,710
Won't do any good, and
I'm starting to get irritated.
498
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:40,060
Prince John, it's Daryl Blake.
499
00:25:40,626 --> 00:25:43,106
Oh, of course, Daryl.
500
00:25:43,106 --> 00:25:45,021
- My apologies.
- [laughs]
501
00:25:45,021 --> 00:25:48,503
I was having a bit of a moment
with one of my staff back home.
502
00:25:48,503 --> 00:25:50,113
Not a problem at all.
Must be tough
503
00:25:50,113 --> 00:25:52,725
keeping all those balls
in the air at the same time.
504
00:25:52,725 --> 00:25:54,988
Just wondering how things
are going out in Evanston.
505
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:58,600
Oh, Evanston is everything
you said it was.
506
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,517
Small, quaint... lovely people.
507
00:26:02,517 --> 00:26:05,781
- Beautiful. I knew that
you would like it. I knew it.
- Indeed, I do.
508
00:26:05,781 --> 00:26:08,262
And you mentioned
you had your eye on a property
509
00:26:08,262 --> 00:26:10,046
for a new training facility, right?
510
00:26:10,046 --> 00:26:12,483
Don't worry about that just yet.
511
00:26:12,483 --> 00:26:14,616
The important thing here
is that you can
512
00:26:14,616 --> 00:26:17,837
see yourself setting up shop
in that charming little town.
513
00:26:17,837 --> 00:26:19,882
And it sounds
like you can.
514
00:26:19,882 --> 00:26:22,276
I believe
you've hit on something, Daryl.
515
00:26:22,276 --> 00:26:24,060
I knew I was right to trust you.
516
00:26:24,060 --> 00:26:27,542
Thank you. Thank you,
Your Highness. It's excellent.
517
00:26:27,542 --> 00:26:30,284
Um, listen,
enjoy your time in Evanston,
518
00:26:30,284 --> 00:26:33,722
and I'm here if you need me,
and, uh, you'll be back soon?
519
00:26:34,418 --> 00:26:36,507
Soon it is. Cheers.
520
00:26:37,204 --> 00:26:38,161
[click]
521
00:26:38,161 --> 00:26:40,424
[gentle music]
522
00:26:52,698 --> 00:26:56,136
- [people chattering]
- [happy music]
523
00:27:06,102 --> 00:27:09,018
So sweetheart,
what do you think?
524
00:27:09,018 --> 00:27:10,324
Pretty snazzy, huh?
525
00:27:10,324 --> 00:27:13,109
Oh, it's nice.
526
00:27:13,109 --> 00:27:15,024
Very nice.
527
00:27:15,024 --> 00:27:17,853
Uh, Larry, you did a great
job. I'm proud of you.
528
00:27:17,853 --> 00:27:19,725
Well, I had some help.
529
00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:22,379
Well, I hope you
let the younger ones
get up on the ladder.
530
00:27:22,379 --> 00:27:24,904
Absolutely.
No more ladders for me.
531
00:27:25,469 --> 00:27:26,862
Hey, come here.
532
00:27:28,211 --> 00:27:31,519
- Oh, it's beautiful.
- Right?
533
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:33,434
- [Carol]
When did he drop it off?
- [Larry] Well, he didn't.
534
00:27:33,434 --> 00:27:34,609
[John]
Pardon me.
535
00:27:34,609 --> 00:27:36,742
Well, if Al didn't deliver,
who did?
536
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:38,265
[John]
I did.
537
00:27:38,265 --> 00:27:40,833
My apologies.
I couldn't help but overhear.
538
00:27:40,833 --> 00:27:42,661
- I'm John.
- Oh.
539
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:45,272
Carol, John's staying
at the Mountmore Hotel.
540
00:27:45,272 --> 00:27:46,403
We met earlier.
541
00:27:46,403 --> 00:27:48,231
[Carol]
Oh, that's nice.
542
00:27:48,231 --> 00:27:51,365
They have nice rooms,
very old-fashioned.
543
00:27:51,365 --> 00:27:53,236
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely right.
544
00:27:53,236 --> 00:27:54,498
[Carol]
Sorry, I don't mean to pry,
545
00:27:54,498 --> 00:27:56,065
but, tell me,
546
00:27:56,065 --> 00:27:59,112
why did you want to deliver
the cake yourself?
547
00:27:59,112 --> 00:28:01,375
[Abigail] Because he's the one
who ruined the cake
in the first place.
548
00:28:01,375 --> 00:28:03,638
[mischievous music]
549
00:28:03,638 --> 00:28:07,163
Uh, yes, regretfully so.
550
00:28:07,163 --> 00:28:09,905
Good evening, uh, Miss Abigail,
you look very pretty tonight.
551
00:28:09,905 --> 00:28:12,908
- Oh, thank you.
- [Janet clears throat]
552
00:28:12,908 --> 00:28:15,998
- Oh, uh, Janet, this is John.
- [gentle music]
553
00:28:15,998 --> 00:28:18,740
Very pleased to meet you,
John. - [John] The pleasure's
mine.
554
00:28:19,785 --> 00:28:22,613
So, Abigail, what do you think?
555
00:28:22,613 --> 00:28:24,398
You know, I'm impressed.
556
00:28:24,398 --> 00:28:26,748
- I didn't think Al could do it.
- [chuckle]
557
00:28:27,531 --> 00:28:30,360
Yeah, I know. Yeah.
558
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:34,408
John, could you help us
for a moment in the kitchen?
559
00:28:34,408 --> 00:28:36,889
Oh, why... Yes, of course.
560
00:28:37,454 --> 00:28:38,586
Uh, ladies.
561
00:28:39,456 --> 00:28:40,893
[Carol chuckling]
Come here.
562
00:28:42,459 --> 00:28:43,896
Oh, dear.
563
00:28:43,896 --> 00:28:46,855
Abbie, why are you being
so cold to that guy?
564
00:28:46,855 --> 00:28:48,074
was just an accident.
565
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:50,250
And he's so good-looking,
566
00:28:50,250 --> 00:28:51,904
so sophisticated,
567
00:28:51,904 --> 00:28:55,081
and that accent... Wow!
568
00:28:55,081 --> 00:28:58,214
- Well, accents
aren't everything.
- Maybe not.
569
00:28:58,214 --> 00:28:59,825
But I think he likes you.
570
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:03,350
- [soft chuckles]
Well, I doubt that.
- Really?
571
00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:07,833
Why would he go
through all that trouble
to deliver that cake in person?
572
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:10,400
- Guilty conscience?
- [chuckles]
573
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,273
I can't believe you.
You're acting like a kid.
574
00:29:13,273 --> 00:29:15,405
Well, how do you want me to act?
575
00:29:16,493 --> 00:29:18,669
We're at a party.
We're supposed to be having fun.
576
00:29:18,669 --> 00:29:20,584
So start acting like that.
577
00:29:22,456 --> 00:29:24,197
All right.
578
00:29:24,197 --> 00:29:26,025
I want you to promise me
579
00:29:26,025 --> 00:29:29,419
you'll be as sweet as pie
to the very next person
you meet.
580
00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:31,595
You promise?
581
00:29:33,423 --> 00:29:34,511
I promise.
582
00:29:36,165 --> 00:29:37,166
Merry Christmas, Abbie.
583
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:38,341
[mischievous music]
584
00:29:38,341 --> 00:29:39,778
Chad.
585
00:29:40,561 --> 00:29:42,563
Well, good luck with that.
586
00:29:43,259 --> 00:29:44,826
If you two will excuse me.
587
00:29:46,872 --> 00:29:48,003
[whispers] Coward.
588
00:29:48,569 --> 00:29:50,876
[muffled chatter]
589
00:29:52,486 --> 00:29:56,969
Oh, right here.
You can help us put the bags
in the boxes. [chuckles]
590
00:29:56,969 --> 00:30:01,234
So, John, are you going to
be in Evanston for very long?
591
00:30:01,234 --> 00:30:02,626
Oh, no, no, not long.
592
00:30:02,626 --> 00:30:05,368
Just conducting
a little business.
593
00:30:05,368 --> 00:30:07,936
Oh, what sort of business
are you looking to get
involved in?
594
00:30:07,936 --> 00:30:09,590
Larry, don't be so nosy.
595
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:11,374
No, it's all right.
596
00:30:11,374 --> 00:30:13,986
It's just a little project
that I'm working on.
597
00:30:13,986 --> 00:30:16,118
I have some pressing
holiday engagements back home,
598
00:30:16,118 --> 00:30:17,728
so not long, I'm afraid.
599
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:19,382
[Carol]
Mm. That's too bad.
600
00:30:19,382 --> 00:30:22,472
Evanston is a wonderful place
to spend Christmas.
601
00:30:22,472 --> 00:30:24,692
I'm sure it is.
602
00:30:24,692 --> 00:30:26,737
And I'd also love to get
to know Abbie a little more.
603
00:30:27,521 --> 00:30:28,827
If, if I could.
604
00:30:28,827 --> 00:30:30,654
[gentle music]
605
00:30:30,654 --> 00:30:33,614
And again, I, I am so sorry
about everything that happened.
606
00:30:33,614 --> 00:30:34,876
Don't worry about that.
607
00:30:34,876 --> 00:30:37,661
She's a very
understanding person.
608
00:30:37,661 --> 00:30:41,404
She just, uh, feels stressed
about work right now.
609
00:30:41,404 --> 00:30:44,016
Abbie teaches skating
down at the ice rink
610
00:30:44,016 --> 00:30:47,236
and her class
is a little underwhelming
at this time of year.
611
00:30:47,236 --> 00:30:48,672
That's too bad.
612
00:30:48,672 --> 00:30:50,413
Is it a beginner's class?
613
00:30:50,413 --> 00:30:55,027
All levels.
It's mostly just young people
trying to have fun.
614
00:30:55,027 --> 00:30:58,465
Abbie was an Olympic hopeful
a few years ago,
615
00:30:58,465 --> 00:31:02,599
but she had
a little mishap during a jump
and didn't qualify.
616
00:31:03,252 --> 00:31:04,863
Oh, dear.
617
00:31:04,863 --> 00:31:06,865
- Did she give it another go?
- [Larry] No.
618
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:09,171
The whole thing
was broadcast on TV.
619
00:31:09,171 --> 00:31:12,131
Everybody saw it,
and she was humiliated.
620
00:31:13,001 --> 00:31:14,960
That's a pity.
621
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,399
I think I know something
that just might cheer her up.
622
00:31:20,356 --> 00:31:21,705
I'm all the ears.
623
00:31:21,705 --> 00:31:22,924
[Chad]
I have a confession.
624
00:31:22,924 --> 00:31:24,360
The only reason
I came here tonight was,
625
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,884
I was hoping to run into you.
626
00:31:26,754 --> 00:31:28,538
Uh, really?
627
00:31:28,538 --> 00:31:30,714
- Why is that?
- I wanted to apologize
628
00:31:30,714 --> 00:31:32,716
if I came out a little strong
the other day.
629
00:31:33,804 --> 00:31:35,197
Don't.
630
00:31:35,197 --> 00:31:36,982
I could've been better myself.
631
00:31:36,982 --> 00:31:39,158
What I should have said was,
I miss you.
632
00:31:39,158 --> 00:31:41,508
I wanna make this a Christmas
we can both remember.
633
00:31:41,508 --> 00:31:42,901
And I got you
a little something.
634
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:45,120
Um...
635
00:31:45,991 --> 00:31:47,557
You know what? I, I can't.
636
00:31:49,168 --> 00:31:50,125
I mean...
637
00:31:52,171 --> 00:31:53,781
- Thank you.
- [chuckles softly]
638
00:31:56,610 --> 00:32:01,397
It's beautiful,
but I can't accept this.
639
00:32:01,397 --> 00:32:03,008
Here, let me help you.
640
00:32:03,008 --> 00:32:05,749
- Uh.
- [Chad] Turn around.
Just humor me.
641
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,149
- but I think
that's a marvelous idea.
- Yes. [chuckles]
642
00:32:17,805 --> 00:32:19,807
[sighs] Well...
643
00:32:20,982 --> 00:32:22,070
It's been a long day.
644
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:24,246
Uh, perhaps
I should say goodnight.
645
00:32:24,246 --> 00:32:25,247
[Carol]
So soon?
646
00:32:25,247 --> 00:32:26,727
Do you have to? Uh...
647
00:32:26,727 --> 00:32:28,033
- [sighs]
- we haven't even cut
the cake yet.
648
00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:30,992
Yeah. I, I thought
you wanted to talk to Abbie.
649
00:32:30,992 --> 00:32:35,127
Oh, well I do, but looks like
she's wrapped up at the moment.
650
00:32:36,128 --> 00:32:37,433
[Carol]
All right, John.
651
00:32:37,433 --> 00:32:41,437
But don't forget
what I told you about tomorrow.
652
00:32:41,437 --> 00:32:43,178
I won't. And thankou.
653
00:32:43,178 --> 00:32:45,572
[gentle music]
654
00:32:56,278 --> 00:32:57,758
[Carol]
Are you okay, honey?
655
00:32:59,455 --> 00:33:01,980
Just got a lot on my mind,
I guess.
656
00:33:04,286 --> 00:33:05,548
Nice necklace.
657
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:10,118
- Pricey.
- Yeah, it was hard to say no,
658
00:33:10,118 --> 00:33:13,165
but I'm just not interested
in reviving old flames.
659
00:33:13,165 --> 00:33:16,646
The Ice Skating Princess
and The Football King.
[chuckles]
660
00:33:16,646 --> 00:33:18,953
That was a long time ago.
661
00:33:18,953 --> 00:33:20,607
Yeah, he wants to pick up
right where we left off,
662
00:33:20,607 --> 00:33:23,392
but I just
don't see us together.
663
00:33:24,132 --> 00:33:25,916
I mean, he's a nice guy, but...
664
00:33:27,222 --> 00:33:28,876
I don't know,
it's just been too long.
665
00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:32,358
Sometimes people change.
666
00:33:32,358 --> 00:33:35,448
- I have enough going on.
- Okay. That's fair.
667
00:33:36,144 --> 00:33:38,625
Oh, that fella, John,
668
00:33:38,625 --> 00:33:40,540
he was asking about you.
669
00:33:40,540 --> 00:33:43,891
Mom, don't go match-making me
again. He'll be gone
before you know it.
670
00:33:43,891 --> 00:33:46,502
Of course,
you are right. [chuckles]
671
00:33:46,502 --> 00:33:49,505
But he just seems so debonair,
so cultured.
672
00:33:49,505 --> 00:33:51,159
You're starting
to sound like Janet.
673
00:33:51,159 --> 00:33:54,336
[chuckles] One guy showers me
in diamonds, the other in cake.
674
00:33:54,336 --> 00:33:58,036
I'm sure
you look beautiful in both.
675
00:33:58,036 --> 00:33:59,341
- You're a riot.
- [chuckles]
676
00:33:59,341 --> 00:34:00,821
Good night, sweetheart.
677
00:34:04,346 --> 00:34:05,478
[sighing]
678
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:14,139
[sighs deeply]
679
00:34:17,229 --> 00:34:20,014
[gentle Christmas music]
680
00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:51,872
Why are you following me?
681
00:34:51,872 --> 00:34:55,049
Me? [snickers] Never.
682
00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:59,532
So you just wander in here
where it's a constant
35 degrees?
683
00:34:59,532 --> 00:35:03,057
We, Europeans,
we're very warm-blooded people.
684
00:35:03,057 --> 00:35:04,406
[sighs] Look, John, uh,
685
00:35:04,406 --> 00:35:05,886
this is my private time
in the ice.
686
00:35:05,886 --> 00:35:08,280
It's the only alone time
I get, so...
687
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,672
Ah, yes.
688
00:35:09,672 --> 00:35:12,197
Of course, of course.
Uh, my apologies.
689
00:35:12,197 --> 00:35:14,808
I didn't mean
to intrude or interrupt.
690
00:35:14,808 --> 00:35:16,244
I was speaking
with your mother last night,
691
00:35:16,244 --> 00:35:18,333
and she told me
about your skating classes,
692
00:35:18,333 --> 00:35:19,769
and I thought...
693
00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:23,077
Well, maybe...
694
00:35:25,427 --> 00:35:26,994
[chuckles]
695
00:35:28,169 --> 00:35:31,346
- You?
- Of course. Why not me?
696
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:35,133
Besides, I thought
you might find it entertaining
to see me fall down a few times.
697
00:35:36,046 --> 00:35:37,874
Well, it's tempting,
698
00:35:37,874 --> 00:35:39,572
but you seem pretty fit.
699
00:35:39,572 --> 00:35:41,008
Looks can be deceiving.
700
00:35:43,271 --> 00:35:45,534
Okay, fine. Go rent some skates
701
00:35:45,534 --> 00:35:47,536
- and I'll see what you got.
- Wonderful.
702
00:35:49,364 --> 00:35:51,366
[sighs deeply]
703
00:35:53,629 --> 00:35:55,675
- Oh.
- [chuckles]
704
00:35:55,675 --> 00:35:57,329
You look like
you've done this before.
705
00:35:57,329 --> 00:36:00,897
Uh, some, when I was
a young lad back home.
706
00:36:00,897 --> 00:36:02,682
[chuckling]
And where exactly
is "back home"?
707
00:36:02,682 --> 00:36:04,945
[grunts softly and stutters]
708
00:36:04,945 --> 00:36:08,644
Just a small little berg
outside of Belgium.
709
00:36:08,644 --> 00:36:11,212
Uh, lovely place
of no real consequence.
710
00:36:11,212 --> 00:36:13,519
And does this berg have a name?
711
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:15,303
Ooh. Well, yes, of course.
712
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:16,739
Of course it does.
713
00:36:16,739 --> 00:36:19,351
[stutters] But the real
question, how am I doing?
714
00:36:19,351 --> 00:36:21,353
Uh, it's harder
than you remember, huh?
715
00:36:21,353 --> 00:36:23,572
Considerably so.
716
00:36:23,572 --> 00:36:26,053
Well, do you think
I have what it takes?
717
00:36:26,053 --> 00:36:28,795
If I can train a ten-year-old,
I can train you.
718
00:36:28,795 --> 00:36:30,144
[chuckles]
719
00:36:30,144 --> 00:36:33,060
- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- [both chuckle]
720
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:34,801
Sorry. I'm a bit wobbly.
721
00:36:34,801 --> 00:36:37,369
- You seem fine.
- No, no, no, trust me. I'm,
722
00:36:37,369 --> 00:36:39,022
I'm shaky.
723
00:36:39,022 --> 00:36:41,851
Uh, maybe if you hold my hands.
724
00:36:42,983 --> 00:36:44,071
I can't believe you.
725
00:36:46,378 --> 00:36:48,031
[sighs]
726
00:36:48,031 --> 00:36:51,252
- Now don't let go or I'll fall.
- [royal music]
727
00:36:51,252 --> 00:36:52,166
[Abigail]
Mm-hmm.
728
00:36:53,254 --> 00:36:54,516
Come on.
729
00:36:54,516 --> 00:36:56,344
[indistinct chatter]
730
00:36:56,344 --> 00:36:57,737
[Agail]
Yeah. [chuckles]
731
00:36:59,565 --> 00:37:01,001
You're a natural.
732
00:37:01,001 --> 00:37:03,569
- Oh, I'm going backwards.
- - [both chuckles]
733
00:37:03,569 --> 00:37:04,700
- Stand up taller.
- Oh, yes.
734
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,267
Put your right foot forwar
735
00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:08,748
- Keep holding my hands.
- There you go.
736
00:37:09,444 --> 00:37:11,707
[indistinct chatter]
737
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:20,455
And he just showed up
completely unannounced?
738
00:37:20,455 --> 00:37:23,415
Yeah. I can't believe
my mom's so free
with my personal information.
739
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:25,678
No. She means well.
740
00:37:25,678 --> 00:37:28,898
- She always has her nose
in my business.
- [chuckles]
741
00:37:28,898 --> 00:37:30,422
I told you he likes you.
742
00:37:30,422 --> 00:37:31,858
[gentle music]
743
00:37:31,858 --> 00:37:34,339
- He's a bold one.
- And single.
744
00:37:34,339 --> 00:37:38,517
Okay, you and my mom would
make the perfect pair. -
[chuckles]
745
00:37:38,517 --> 00:37:41,563
Tell me one thing
you don't like about him.
746
00:37:47,743 --> 00:37:49,615
- Give me a second.
- Uh-huh.
747
00:37:49,615 --> 00:37:51,443
That's what I thought.
748
00:37:51,443 --> 00:37:53,183
[both chuckle softly]
749
00:37:58,885 --> 00:38:00,190
[door closes]
750
00:38:00,190 --> 00:38:01,714
[Abigail sighs]
751
00:38:01,714 --> 00:38:05,500
[Carol]
And here she is
in her first little costume.
752
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,155
- I sewed
the whole thing myself.
- [John] Really?
753
00:38:09,069 --> 00:38:10,505
That's amazing.
754
00:38:10,505 --> 00:38:12,681
- You did this all by yourself?
- Yes, I did.
755
00:38:12,681 --> 00:38:14,030
And it wasn't
easy, either.
756
00:38:14,030 --> 00:38:17,643
All those tiny little sequins
and rhinestones.
757
00:38:17,643 --> 00:38:19,253
- [John] May I?
- [Carol] Mm.
758
00:38:19,253 --> 00:38:22,038
[John] You did a
fabulous job. - [Carol] Well,
thank you.
759
00:38:22,038 --> 00:38:23,431
- [chuckles]
- [Abigail] Mom?
760
00:38:24,345 --> 00:38:25,651
What's going on here?
761
00:38:27,392 --> 00:38:30,656
Well, after class today, I ran
into your mother at the market.
762
00:38:30,656 --> 00:38:32,527
Then she asked me
how I was getting on.
763
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:35,356
And he told me he didn't have
any plans for this evening.
764
00:38:35,356 --> 00:38:39,404
So, well, I thought
I would invite him here
for dinner tonight
765
00:38:39,404 --> 00:38:41,667
so we could all get
to know him better.
766
00:38:43,146 --> 00:38:45,671
Ah, I can leave
if it's a problem.
767
00:38:45,671 --> 00:38:47,368
No, look, I'm
sorry. I'm...
768
00:38:48,543 --> 00:38:50,545
I'm just surprised to see you.
That's all.
769
00:38:52,417 --> 00:38:53,374
Well, then it's settled.
770
00:38:53,374 --> 00:38:54,984
[chuckles]
771
00:38:54,984 --> 00:38:57,726
I'm going to go help your father
in the kitchen.
772
00:38:57,726 --> 00:39:01,034
Oh, no. Is he making
another one of his
Christmas surprise specials?
773
00:39:01,034 --> 00:39:03,036
Well, you know
your father,
774
00:39:03,036 --> 00:39:05,691
he never misses a chance
to play around in the kitchen.
775
00:39:05,691 --> 00:39:07,910
- [both chuckle]
- Oh, no, not again.
776
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:09,869
- [Carol] I wonder what
he'll whip up tonight.
- [chuckles]
777
00:39:09,869 --> 00:39:11,740
You're seriously gonna regret
doing this.
778
00:39:14,439 --> 00:39:17,398
[John] You know,
I never realized what
an incredible athlete you are.
779
00:39:17,398 --> 00:39:18,747
[chuckles softly]
780
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:21,359
[sighs]
781
00:39:25,319 --> 00:39:26,712
Do you feel like you...
782
00:39:27,887 --> 00:39:29,715
didn't live up
to your full potential?
783
00:39:32,108 --> 00:39:33,414
You have no idea.
784
00:39:34,415 --> 00:39:35,373
[chuckles softly]
785
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:38,114
[sighs]
786
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:41,161
Yeah.
787
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:44,425
I have moments like that.
788
00:39:44,425 --> 00:39:46,340
And then you made them
your life's work.
789
00:39:46,340 --> 00:39:47,646
Yeah.
790
00:39:47,646 --> 00:39:49,561
It's reduced to only work.
791
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:54,130
If your work is your love,
792
00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:55,610
then you'll never work again.
793
00:39:57,395 --> 00:39:58,396
Shakespeare?
794
00:39:58,918 --> 00:39:59,832
Fortune cookie.
795
00:39:59,832 --> 00:40:01,137
[both chuckle]
796
00:40:03,009 --> 00:40:04,663
[Carol]
Dinner.
797
00:40:04,663 --> 00:40:09,450
- Your father's candy cane
cheeseburger casserole.
- [chuckles]
798
00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:10,756
I warned you.
799
00:40:13,802 --> 00:40:15,413
[soft music]
800
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:18,851
Oh! Tell us, John, what do
you like to do with your time?
801
00:40:19,982 --> 00:40:21,157
Oh, um...
802
00:40:21,984 --> 00:40:23,856
Well, to be honest
803
00:40:23,856 --> 00:40:26,598
I don't really have
a lot of free time.
804
00:40:26,598 --> 00:40:28,469
I've always been kept
pretty busy.
805
00:40:29,078 --> 00:40:30,079
With?
806
00:40:31,472 --> 00:40:33,082
My duties.
807
00:40:35,084 --> 00:40:37,173
Oh, uh, but it's all boring.
808
00:40:38,218 --> 00:40:39,175
Oh.
809
00:40:41,264 --> 00:40:44,485
I saw a poster
of the Christmas Ice Parade
yesterday at Al's Diner.
810
00:40:44,485 --> 00:40:45,965
What's that about?
811
00:40:45,965 --> 00:40:48,184
Each year,
Abbie's students
812
00:40:48,184 --> 00:40:51,710
- put on a holiday show
for the town.
- [John] Really?
813
00:40:51,710 --> 00:40:53,668
Maybe I arrived just in time.
814
00:40:53,668 --> 00:40:55,235
[Carol]
Oh, yes, you did.
815
00:40:55,235 --> 00:40:59,674
Last night was the Annual
Holiday Winter Festival party
816
00:40:59,674 --> 00:41:04,026
and tomorrow is
our Christmas Food Bank Drive.
817
00:41:04,026 --> 00:41:06,376
[Larry]
And next Saturday,
Abbie's students
818
00:41:06,376 --> 00:41:09,641
will present this year's
Christmas Ice Parade.
819
00:41:09,641 --> 00:41:11,120
I see.
820
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,079
- Are you a part of the show?
- [Abigail] Uh...
821
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:16,474
- No.
It's showcasing the students.
- [John] Oh.
822
00:41:17,692 --> 00:41:19,520
Well, uh, are there
any tickets still available?
823
00:41:21,783 --> 00:41:23,916
Uh, yeah. All you could want.
824
00:41:25,395 --> 00:41:28,529
Uh, you know, kids,
I ordered dessert today.
825
00:41:28,529 --> 00:41:31,576
But I didn't have time
to pick it up.
826
00:41:31,576 --> 00:41:33,578
Oh, well, not a problem.
827
00:41:33,578 --> 00:41:35,536
I could take a trot...
828
00:41:35,536 --> 00:41:37,625
- Oh.
- over to Al's
and pick something up.
829
00:41:37,625 --> 00:41:39,192
Shouldn't take
long at all.
830
00:41:39,192 --> 00:41:42,151
- What a splendid idea,
isn't it, Abbie?
- [chuckles]
831
00:41:42,978 --> 00:41:44,545
Yeah, splendid.
832
00:41:44,545 --> 00:41:48,636
Hmm. Well,
now the two of you hurry along
833
00:41:48,636 --> 00:41:51,465
and Dad and I will take care
of cleaning up here.
834
00:41:51,857 --> 00:41:53,336
Me?
835
00:41:53,336 --> 00:41:55,121
You want me to go too?
836
00:41:55,121 --> 00:41:59,560
Yes. Someone has
to carry the dessert
while John's driving.
837
00:42:00,605 --> 00:42:01,649
[John]
Shall we?
838
00:42:09,004 --> 00:42:10,179
[doorbell chimes]
839
00:42:10,179 --> 00:42:12,399
[ambient music
playing over speakers]
840
00:42:15,054 --> 00:42:16,838
- Hey, good evening, folks.
- Good evening, Al.
841
00:42:16,838 --> 00:42:18,579
Have a seat at the end.
I'll be with you in a minute.
842
00:42:18,579 --> 00:42:19,580
[Abigail]
Mm-hmm.
843
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:22,191
[indistinct chatter]
844
00:42:22,191 --> 00:42:24,411
- [Al] All right?
Careful with that, it's hot.
- [man] All right.
845
00:42:25,455 --> 00:42:27,153
- Here.
- [Abigail] Thanks.
846
00:42:28,241 --> 00:42:29,547
[exhales sharply]
847
00:42:30,243 --> 00:42:31,157
Watch that.
848
00:42:32,288 --> 00:42:33,855
Hey, what can I get you two?
849
00:42:33,855 --> 00:42:36,162
I got some great drink
specials this evening.
850
00:42:36,162 --> 00:42:38,207
Oh, no, thanks. Uh,
we're here for a to-go order.
851
00:42:38,207 --> 00:42:39,861
Just a quick dessert
or something.
852
00:42:39,861 --> 00:42:41,733
I got some cupcakes
cooling off in the back.
853
00:42:41,733 --> 00:42:43,865
I can frost up a few
if you gimme a few minutes.
854
00:42:43,865 --> 00:42:46,215
That would be great.
Could you spare four?
855
00:42:46,215 --> 00:42:48,217
[Al]
Four? [laughs]
856
00:42:48,217 --> 00:42:51,003
By tomorrow afternoon,
I'm gonna need 400.
857
00:42:51,003 --> 00:42:53,701
So, hey, what's a few cupcakes
among friends, huh?
858
00:42:53,701 --> 00:42:56,965
Wait, I'm sorry. 400 cupcakes?
You're joking, right?
859
00:42:56,965 --> 00:42:58,619
No, that's what my mom
was talking about.
860
00:42:58,619 --> 00:43:00,621
The Christmas Food Bank Drive.
861
00:43:00,621 --> 00:43:04,016
All the local merchants
put together holiday boxes
to help those in need.
862
00:43:04,016 --> 00:43:07,149
Yeah, but 400 cupcakes
in that small kitchen.
863
00:43:07,149 --> 00:43:08,586
[Al]
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
864
00:43:08,586 --> 00:43:12,372
Goes faster and easier
if you have a little help.
865
00:43:12,372 --> 00:43:14,417
- You can count me in.
- [chuckles]
866
00:43:16,942 --> 00:43:20,598
Oh, right. Um, I'd be
very happy to lend a hand.
867
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,338
[Al chuckles]
Great.
868
00:43:22,338 --> 00:43:25,515
See you guys tomorrow.
9:00 am. - [John] Yes.
869
00:43:28,910 --> 00:43:31,870
Well, it looks like you'll know
where to track me down tomorrow.
870
00:43:32,479 --> 00:43:35,177
Ha-ha. Very funny.
871
00:43:35,177 --> 00:43:38,354
So do I get to call you
Abbie, now that we're coworkers?
872
00:43:38,354 --> 00:43:40,705
Oh, now who's being funny?
873
00:43:40,705 --> 00:43:42,445
[laughs]
874
00:43:45,361 --> 00:43:46,928
Look,
875
00:43:46,928 --> 00:43:50,018
I really like you, Abbie,
876
00:43:50,018 --> 00:43:53,413
and I'd like you to like me
if you think you could.
877
00:43:55,720 --> 00:43:57,852
And how do you suggest
I do that?
878
00:43:57,852 --> 00:44:00,594
Well, I was thinking...
879
00:44:02,422 --> 00:44:03,423
If it were up to me...
880
00:44:03,423 --> 00:44:05,425
[soft piano music]
881
00:44:09,081 --> 00:44:10,517
I'd ask you to dance.
882
00:44:12,084 --> 00:44:13,694
Dance?
883
00:44:13,694 --> 00:44:16,436
With you? [chuckles] What, here?
884
00:44:17,176 --> 00:44:18,699
Darling,
885
00:44:18,699 --> 00:44:20,396
can you think of a better time?
886
00:44:22,747 --> 00:44:23,791
[sighs]
887
00:44:27,447 --> 00:44:28,840
[chuckles softly]
888
00:44:36,543 --> 00:44:37,587
[chuckles softly]
889
00:44:50,165 --> 00:44:53,342
[chuckles softly]
I haven't danced in a long time,
890
00:44:53,342 --> 00:44:56,302
so, sorry if I'm stepping
all over your feet.
891
00:44:56,302 --> 00:44:57,956
Come on, don't be silly.
892
00:44:58,913 --> 00:45:00,045
You're doing great.
893
00:45:00,785 --> 00:45:02,830
As any champion skater would.
894
00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:03,744
[chuckles softly]
895
00:45:03,744 --> 00:45:06,747
Normally, I don't like flattery,
896
00:45:06,747 --> 00:45:09,141
but, for you,
I'll make an exception.
897
00:45:14,799 --> 00:45:16,583
[Chad]
Well, look who it is.
898
00:45:17,018 --> 00:45:18,846
Abigail Simpson.
899
00:45:18,846 --> 00:45:21,675
Out on the town
two nights in a row.
900
00:45:21,675 --> 00:45:24,025
- [mischievous music]
- Um, John, this is Chad.
901
00:45:24,025 --> 00:45:25,548
We went to high school together.
902
00:45:25,548 --> 00:45:29,944
Oh, yes, I saw you last nighght
at the party
903
00:45:29,944 --> 00:45:32,642
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw you there with Abbie.
904
00:45:36,124 --> 00:45:38,126
Nice to meet you, officially.
905
00:45:41,216 --> 00:45:42,827
[Al]
Hey, guys. Your order's ready.
906
00:45:43,653 --> 00:45:45,394
We were just leaving.
907
00:45:45,394 --> 00:45:46,569
[exhales
908
00:45:50,660 --> 00:45:51,879
[Chad]
Abbie, wait.
909
00:45:52,967 --> 00:45:54,839
I'm sorry.
910
00:45:54,839 --> 00:45:57,755
Maybe I can call you tomorrow
and we can talk then.
911
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,022
[sighs]
912
00:46:04,022 --> 00:46:06,415
[melancholic piano music]
913
00:46:11,203 --> 00:46:12,944
- Keep the change.
- Enjoy.s]
914
00:46:17,557 --> 00:46:19,515
Can I ask,
what was all that about?
915
00:46:20,995 --> 00:46:22,823
Look, my parents are waiting.
We should probably go.
916
00:46:24,042 --> 00:46:25,130
Right, if you say so.
917
00:46:26,261 --> 00:46:27,132
I do.
918
00:46:31,571 --> 00:46:32,964
[doorbell chimes]
919
00:46:36,054 --> 00:46:39,144
[birds chirping]
920
00:46:40,232 --> 00:46:42,408
[sighs happily]
921
00:46:48,544 --> 00:46:50,851
[gentle Christmas music]
922
00:47:14,744 --> 00:47:17,617
[Carol]
Hey, honey. Sit down,
breakfast is almost ready.
923
00:47:17,617 --> 00:47:19,271
Oh, I can't,
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
924
00:47:19,271 --> 00:47:21,012
Oh, and why is that?
925
00:47:21,012 --> 00:47:23,231
I just have to do something
before class.
926
00:47:23,231 --> 00:47:24,537
Something important?
927
00:47:24,537 --> 00:47:26,887
[sighs] I'm headed
to the diner to help Al.
928
00:47:26,887 --> 00:47:29,237
He's up to his ears
with the cupcake orders.
929
00:47:29,237 --> 00:47:32,023
- Just you?
- Mom, please.
930
00:47:32,023 --> 00:47:35,591
[chuckles] Well, I think it's
sweet that you're helping out.
931
00:47:35,591 --> 00:47:38,116
Well, it's the least I could do.
932
00:47:38,116 --> 00:47:41,162
And you were right about John.
He is a nice guy.
933
00:47:41,162 --> 00:47:42,903
[chuckles] Great.
934
00:47:42,903 --> 00:47:45,863
I just thought
the two of you might hit it off.
935
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:47,038
I figured that.
936
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:49,910
Well, did you?
937
00:47:49,910 --> 00:47:52,130
- Did I what?
- Did you hit it off?
938
00:47:53,435 --> 00:47:55,133
[exhales] Yeah, I guess we did.
939
00:47:56,743 --> 00:47:58,440
[chuckles
softly] Bye, Mom.
940
00:48:00,181 --> 00:48:02,140
- Have fun.
- But thank you.
941
00:48:07,188 --> 00:48:09,538
[birds chirping]
942
00:48:13,978 --> 00:48:15,675
Hey, Janet,
943
00:48:15,675 --> 00:48:18,896
I've been thinking
about what you said
and I think you're right.
944
00:48:18,896 --> 00:48:20,462
Yes. [chuckles] I know.
945
00:48:20,462 --> 00:48:22,987
Okay, so I'm gonna need
you to write this down. Ready?
946
00:48:33,388 --> 00:48:34,476
[Abigail sighs]
947
00:48:35,521 --> 00:48:37,740
- Hey, Al.
- Hey.
948
00:48:37,740 --> 00:48:39,351
Good morning, Abbie. [chuckles]
949
00:48:39,351 --> 00:48:41,962
Hey. What do you need me to do?
950
00:48:41,962 --> 00:48:44,182
Well, uh,
if you can get these frosted up,
951
00:48:44,182 --> 00:48:46,619
- I'll put another batch
in the oven.
- You got it.
952
00:48:47,489 --> 00:48:48,490
By the way,
953
00:48:48,490 --> 00:48:50,057
I really appreciate this
954
00:48:50,057 --> 00:48:51,232
and so will all the families.
955
00:48:51,232 --> 00:48:53,887
Of course, I'm happy to help.
956
00:48:53,887 --> 00:48:56,716
Sorry my assistant
didn't show up.
957
00:48:56,716 --> 00:48:58,152
[John]
Well, who hasn't shown up?
958
00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:00,546
[Abigail]
Oh.
959
00:49:00,546 --> 00:49:02,374
Hey, you're here.
960
00:49:02,374 --> 00:49:04,767
I was just taking out the trash.
I've been here
for at least an hour.
961
00:49:04,767 --> 00:49:05,855
What kept you?
962
00:49:06,987 --> 00:49:08,467
Well, I...
963
00:49:08,467 --> 00:49:09,642
Okay, you two.
964
00:49:10,382 --> 00:49:11,818
Here are your piping bags.
965
00:49:11,818 --> 00:49:13,211
You know what to do.
966
00:49:13,211 --> 00:49:14,908
I'll put another batch
in the oven.
967
00:49:14,908 --> 00:49:16,040
Aye, aye, Captain.
968
00:49:20,044 --> 00:49:22,133
- You ready?
- All right.
969
00:49:22,133 --> 00:49:23,525
[gentle Christmas music]
970
00:49:23,525 --> 00:49:26,485
Yes. I'm gonna do the bottom.
971
00:49:26,485 --> 00:49:28,878
Oh! [chuckles]
972
00:49:28,878 --> 00:49:30,924
I'm not as good as I thought
I would be.
973
00:49:34,232 --> 00:49:35,494
[John]
You're doing great. Yeah.
974
00:49:35,494 --> 00:49:37,975
- Uh. Get off my cupcake.
- [laughing]
975
00:49:39,324 --> 00:49:41,630
- Which one are you doing next?
- I'm gonna go for this one.
976
00:49:41,630 --> 00:49:42,849
- [John] This one?
- [Abigail] No.
977
00:49:42,849 --> 00:49:44,329
- [chuckles]
- I have to go first.
978
00:49:44,329 --> 00:49:46,374
You can't mess up the design.
979
00:49:49,334 --> 00:49:50,552
Oh!
980
00:49:50,552 --> 00:49:53,468
Not too bad
for a city boy.
981
00:49:53,468 --> 00:49:57,690
- Ah. I was, I was about to say
the same thing about you.
- [laughs]
982
00:50:00,171 --> 00:50:02,956
You didn't have to help out.
I really appreciate it.
983
00:50:03,522 --> 00:50:05,089
Of course, I did.
984
00:50:05,089 --> 00:50:07,874
Beginning to feel
really invested in this town
985
00:50:07,874 --> 00:50:09,658
Starting to like it here
very much.
986
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,358
Hey, sorry to break up
this little love fest.
987
00:50:13,358 --> 00:50:15,142
We got five more trays
to get to, guys.
988
00:50:15,838 --> 00:50:16,883
You got it.
989
00:50:18,885 --> 00:50:22,280
[Christmas music playing
in the distance]
990
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,891
[indistinct chatter]
991
00:50:24,891 --> 00:50:26,066
- Merry Christmas.
- [woman 1] Hey.
992
00:50:26,066 --> 00:50:27,328
Please, have some fresh food.
993
00:50:27,328 --> 00:50:28,373
- [Larry] Hi.
- Can I get you anything?
994
00:50:28,373 --> 00:50:31,028
[indistinct chatter]
995
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:33,639
- Merry Christmas.
- [man 1] Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
996
00:50:33,639 --> 00:50:35,858
- Merry Christmas. Oh.
- Okay. Thank you.
997
00:50:35,858 --> 00:50:37,686
- Okay.
- [chuckles]
998
00:50:39,210 --> 00:50:41,560
This is amazing. Thank you
again for asking me to do this.
999
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,041
I, I feel like I'm a part
of something really meaningful.
1000
00:50:44,519 --> 00:50:46,173
Well, you are.
1001
00:50:46,173 --> 00:50:48,349
That's what Christmas
is all about here in Evanston.
1002
00:50:48,349 --> 00:50:50,003
We try to give back
as much as we can.
1003
00:50:51,135 --> 00:50:52,745
Well, I can see why.
1004
00:50:52,745 --> 00:50:55,574
This, this is really special.
1005
00:50:55,574 --> 00:50:59,621
You know, when I first met
you, I was really upset, but...
1006
00:51:00,970 --> 00:51:02,450
I think I was wrong.
1007
00:51:03,364 --> 00:51:05,062
Well, I did
ruin your cake.
1008
00:51:05,062 --> 00:51:07,499
- [chuckles]
- No, I was just having
a rough day
1009
00:51:07,499 --> 00:51:10,197
and I shouldn't have
taken it out on you.
1010
00:51:10,197 --> 00:51:12,547
I think we have that part
sorted out and for the better.
1011
00:51:13,374 --> 00:51:14,462
Thank you.
1012
00:51:17,291 --> 00:51:20,468
And, Abbie, I've, I've really
enjoyed getting to know you.
1013
00:51:20,468 --> 00:51:22,688
Well, I'm glad
you're getting what you wanted.
1014
00:51:23,732 --> 00:51:25,386
Y... You know,
you can too.
1015
00:51:25,386 --> 00:51:27,127
[exhales]
1016
00:51:27,127 --> 00:51:28,737
Yeah. I mean...
1017
00:51:28,737 --> 00:51:29,999
Look, I really love my school,
1018
00:51:29,999 --> 00:51:32,132
but I just don't know
how to salvage it.
1019
00:51:33,177 --> 00:51:34,134
[woman 2]
Thank you.
1020
00:51:34,134 --> 00:51:36,136
[gentle music]
1021
00:51:37,268 --> 00:51:39,400
I think you could turn it around
1022
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:40,706
if you really tried.
1023
00:51:41,576 --> 00:51:43,056
You just have
to go for it.
1024
00:51:43,056 --> 00:51:44,579
You know what to do.
1025
00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:47,887
That's what Janet says.
1026
00:51:47,887 --> 00:51:49,628
And she's always right.
1027
00:51:51,064 --> 00:51:52,370
We'll see.
1028
00:51:53,501 --> 00:51:54,633
[John]
Mm.
1029
00:51:56,025 --> 00:51:58,027
- Merry Christmas.
- [woman 3] Thank you.
1030
00:51:58,027 --> 00:52:00,160
Hey. There you go.
1031
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:01,727
- [boy 1] Thank you.
- Yeah.
1032
00:52:01,727 --> 00:52:04,730
[both giggling]
1033
00:52:06,471 --> 00:52:08,386
- This is for you.
- You need some help?
1034
00:52:08,995 --> 00:52:10,605
Oh, yeah. Sure.
1035
00:52:13,608 --> 00:52:15,132
- Hey, bud.
- Here you go.
1036
00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:17,177
[boy 2] Hello. Merry
Christmas. - Oh, this is so much fun.
1037
00:52:17,177 --> 00:52:19,179
And where upon
earth is Al?
1038
00:52:19,179 --> 00:52:20,528
He should be here.
1039
00:52:20,528 --> 00:52:22,182
We're only here
because of his hard work,
1040
00:52:22,182 --> 00:52:24,619
and I feel guilty, like,
we're taking all the credit.
1041
00:52:24,619 --> 00:52:26,839
Oh, I'm sure
he's around here somewhere.
1042
00:52:26,839 --> 00:52:28,319
[Al]
Ho, ho, ho!
1043
00:52:28,319 --> 00:52:31,496
- [woman] Oh!
- Merry Christmas.
1044
00:52:31,496 --> 00:52:33,062
- [Christmas music]
- Who wants presents?
1045
00:52:33,062 --> 00:52:34,107
- Me.
- Me.
1046
00:52:34,107 --> 00:52:35,369
[John]
I don't believe it.
1047
00:52:35,369 --> 00:52:37,154
That guy loves Santa.
1048
00:52:38,024 --> 00:52:38,981
All right.
1049
00:52:38,981 --> 00:52:40,809
He does it all for the kids.
1050
00:52:43,116 --> 00:52:45,031
[with deep voice]
Have you two
been good this year?
1051
00:52:45,031 --> 00:52:48,165
Oh, I'll plead the Fifth
on that one, Santa.
1052
00:52:48,165 --> 00:52:51,124
No, I, I don't know.
I'll find out Christmas morning.
1053
00:52:52,081 --> 00:52:53,474
Thanks for helping out, guys.
1054
00:52:54,258 --> 00:52:56,085
Merry Christmas.
1055
00:52:56,085 --> 00:52:59,045
- Doesn't he make a great Santa?
- In fact, he does.
1056
00:52:59,045 --> 00:53:01,395
I'm beginning to see
why people come to Evanston
1057
00:53:01,395 --> 00:53:02,918
and stay.
1058
00:53:12,841 --> 00:53:13,929
Did you get that?
1059
00:53:13,929 --> 00:53:15,322
- Got it.
- [camera shutter clicks]
1060
00:53:15,322 --> 00:53:16,845
- Over there? Mm-hmm?
- [clicks tongue]
1061
00:53:16,845 --> 00:53:18,369
[sighs]
1062
00:53:19,413 --> 00:53:21,894
[camera shutter clicking]
1063
00:53:23,069 --> 00:53:25,114
- Mr. Curtis, what's up?
- [Curtis] ...okay?
1064
00:53:25,114 --> 00:53:26,464
Oh. [chuckles softly]
1065
00:53:26,464 --> 00:53:28,683
Uh, good morning, Abbie.
Uh, we're just taking
1066
00:53:28,683 --> 00:53:30,990
a few pictures of the building.
1067
00:53:31,599 --> 00:53:34,646
A few pictures? Why?
1068
00:53:34,646 --> 00:53:37,692
Well, as I told you, the,
1069
00:53:37,692 --> 00:53:40,434
the owners of this property
are thinking of
1070
00:53:40,434 --> 00:53:43,524
converting this place
into something else.
1071
00:53:44,395 --> 00:53:46,048
But this is my space.
1072
00:53:46,048 --> 00:53:47,180
For the moment.
1073
00:53:51,315 --> 00:53:52,577
[door opens and closes]
1074
00:53:52,577 --> 00:53:54,927
[Chad]
Uh, hey.
Good luck with your show.
1075
00:53:55,841 --> 00:53:56,929
I hope you sell out.
1076
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,412
Yeah, me too.
1077
00:54:06,286 --> 00:54:09,158
[upbeat music]
1078
00:54:44,368 --> 00:54:46,283
- There's no class today.
- Oh, I know.
1079
00:54:46,283 --> 00:54:49,851
I was just hoping to swing by
and pick up a few pointers.
1080
00:54:51,157 --> 00:54:52,376
Wanna come skate with me?
1081
00:54:53,899 --> 00:54:56,554
Oh, come on.
I'll let you hold my hand.
1082
00:54:58,730 --> 00:55:00,166
Well, how can I say no?
1083
00:55:17,009 --> 00:55:19,620
- Morning.
- Good morning, Mr. Denucci.
1084
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:22,493
- I'd like to rent
a pair of skates.
- Same again?
1085
00:55:22,493 --> 00:55:25,452
- Same again.
- I remember, size ten.
1086
00:55:26,888 --> 00:55:29,369
And I'd like to keep
the tab open.
1087
00:55:29,369 --> 00:55:31,153
You might consider
buying a pair.
1088
00:55:31,153 --> 00:55:32,372
Might be cheaper.
1089
00:55:32,372 --> 00:55:34,809
Probably. I'll think about it.
1090
00:55:34,809 --> 00:55:36,724
- Have a great day.
- You too.
1091
00:55:37,421 --> 00:55:39,510
[payment machine beeping]
1092
00:55:39,510 --> 00:55:41,773
- [John] Like this?
- [Abigail] Yeah. Keep going.
1093
00:55:41,773 --> 00:55:44,166
[gentle music]
1094
00:56:02,881 --> 00:56:05,144
[gentle Christmas music]
1095
00:56:38,482 --> 00:56:41,833
Okay. So,
you guys have all worked so hard
1096
00:56:41,833 --> 00:56:45,532
to prepare for this year's
show, and, honestly,
1097
00:56:45,532 --> 00:56:48,143
I think it's our best one yet.
1098
00:56:48,143 --> 00:56:50,885
Sadly, our ticket sales
have been low,
1099
00:56:50,885 --> 00:56:53,366
mainly to all of our friends
and family,
1100
00:56:53,366 --> 00:56:54,933
and I think we all can do
a little bit better.
1101
00:56:54,933 --> 00:56:58,893
- [gentle music]
- I mean, I can do better.
1102
00:56:58,893 --> 00:57:01,200
And I wanna do better
for all of you.
1103
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:06,205
So with that said, and
a little friendly persuasion,
1104
00:57:06,205 --> 00:57:09,034
I have decided
to lace up my skates
1105
00:57:09,034 --> 00:57:11,166
- and perform with you guys
this year.
- [applause]
1106
00:57:11,950 --> 00:57:14,343
[laughter]
1107
00:57:14,343 --> 00:57:19,131
Now, some people think
that's going to boost
ticket sales, I'm not so sure,
1108
00:57:19,131 --> 00:57:22,613
but Lord knows we can use
all the help we can get.
1109
00:57:22,613 --> 00:57:25,485
It'll be A Cameo on Ice.
1110
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,532
Got them.
1111
00:57:31,709 --> 00:57:33,145
[chuckles]
1112
00:57:37,454 --> 00:57:39,064
[chuckles]
1113
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:45,549
Wow. Abbie,
if this doesn't fill the space,
then nothing will.
1114
00:57:45,549 --> 00:57:47,638
People love a comeback story.
1115
00:57:47,638 --> 00:57:49,770
And you're an all-town's
favorite. What's not to love?
1116
00:57:49,770 --> 00:57:54,209
- Mm-hmm.
- [John] Abbie, this could put
your school on the map.
1117
00:57:54,209 --> 00:57:56,298
I've been telling her
the same thing for weeks now.
1118
00:57:56,298 --> 00:58:00,781
But no, it takes someone
like you to come along
to finally convince her.
1119
00:58:00,781 --> 00:58:02,087
[chuckles]
1120
00:58:02,783 --> 00:58:05,307
Okay, so we have the posters.
1121
00:58:05,307 --> 00:58:07,353
- Now what?
- Now we go out
1122
00:58:07,353 --> 00:58:09,964
and start putting them out
where people can see them.
1123
00:58:09,964 --> 00:58:11,836
Make sure you take
all the old posters down
1124
00:58:11,836 --> 00:58:15,535
and don't forget
to thank everyone
for letting us put these up.
1125
00:58:15,535 --> 00:58:16,928
You won't be sorry.
1126
00:58:17,711 --> 00:58:18,712
You'll see.
1127
00:58:20,540 --> 00:58:21,672
What do I have to lose?
1128
00:58:22,063 --> 00:58:23,151
Exactly.
1129
00:58:24,457 --> 00:58:26,154
[Janet]
Okay, kids, come on.
Let's get going.
1130
00:58:33,161 --> 00:58:35,512
That looks pretty good, right?
1131
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:36,861
Yeah, I think so.
1132
00:58:36,861 --> 00:58:37,775
[chuckles]
1133
00:58:37,775 --> 00:58:39,603
Brings back a lot of memories.
1134
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,257
Thanks for that.
1135
00:58:42,257 --> 00:58:43,563
Well, I didn't
do anything.
1136
00:58:43,563 --> 00:58:46,392
- [gentle music]
- Yeah, but you did.
1137
00:58:46,392 --> 00:58:49,177
You made me start believing
in myself again.
1138
00:58:49,177 --> 00:58:52,137
All the self-doubt
and disappointment,
all for nothing.
1139
00:58:53,225 --> 00:58:55,575
- Thanks to you.
- Well, good.
1140
00:58:55,575 --> 00:58:56,576
Let's celebrate then.
1141
00:58:56,576 --> 00:58:58,883
Dinner tonight at Al's.
1142
00:58:58,883 --> 00:59:01,059
And maybe we can finish
that dance we started.
1143
00:59:01,059 --> 00:59:03,148
I would love that,
1144
00:59:03,148 --> 00:59:07,935
but I'm in training mode
right now and I don't think
my coach would approve.
1145
00:59:07,935 --> 00:59:12,026
But your coach won't take
no for an answer.at,
1146
00:59:12,026 --> 00:59:14,812
Well, it sounds like
my coach has made up his mind.
1147
00:59:15,943 --> 00:59:18,772
I made up my mind
the first time I ever saw you.
1148
00:59:21,645 --> 00:59:23,124
Then I guess that's a yes.
1149
00:59:25,736 --> 00:59:27,085
[Marshall]
Your Highness,
1150
00:59:27,825 --> 00:59:28,913
at last.
1151
00:59:29,478 --> 00:59:30,828
Oh, dear me.
1152
00:59:30,828 --> 00:59:32,830
[Marshall]
Thank goodness I found you.
1153
00:59:32,830 --> 00:59:35,746
[sighs]
How ever did you manage it?
1154
00:59:35,746 --> 00:59:38,836
You shouldn't have used
your credit card
to rent those skates.
1155
00:59:38,836 --> 00:59:43,057
And I remember the name
on the business card
you presented me last week.
1156
00:59:43,057 --> 00:59:46,626
Your Highness, your guy here
is very persuasive.
1157
00:59:46,626 --> 00:59:47,932
He said it was an emergency.
1158
00:59:48,889 --> 00:59:50,369
An emergency?
1159
00:59:50,369 --> 00:59:53,067
Well, your mother
has been worried sick.
1160
00:59:53,677 --> 00:59:55,200
How ever could you tell?
1161
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,203
[Marshall]
Please, Your Highness,
she is the Queen.
1162
00:59:58,203 --> 01:00:01,554
The Queen? The Queen of what?
1163
01:00:01,554 --> 01:00:04,426
The Queen of the Kingdom
of Donegal, Miss.
1164
01:00:05,036 --> 01:00:07,038
The Queen of Donegal?
1165
01:00:07,038 --> 01:00:10,737
Wait, the little berg
outside of Belgium?
1166
01:00:10,737 --> 01:00:13,697
Wait, if your mother's the Queen
that makes you, uh...
1167
01:00:13,697 --> 01:00:15,089
[Daryl]
His Royal Highness,
1168
01:00:15,089 --> 01:00:17,265
Prince John Lackland.
1169
01:00:17,265 --> 01:00:19,137
[John]
If you don't mind,
1170
01:00:19,137 --> 01:00:21,530
I'm kind of occupied
at the moment.
1171
01:00:21,530 --> 01:00:23,968
Can we talk later at the hotel?
1172
01:00:23,968 --> 01:00:26,187
Your Highness,
I am under the strictest orders
1173
01:00:26,187 --> 01:00:29,364
not to leave your side
until you are back at Donegal.
1174
01:00:29,364 --> 01:00:30,757
Well, I'm sorry, Marshall.
1175
01:00:30,757 --> 01:00:33,412
Regretfully,
that is a royal command.
1176
01:00:33,978 --> 01:00:35,414
- But...
- Yes.
1177
01:00:39,897 --> 01:00:41,681
As you desire, sir.
1178
01:00:44,510 --> 01:00:45,859
[Abigail]
John.
1179
01:00:45,859 --> 01:00:47,644
I'm kind of freaking out
right now.
1180
01:00:47,644 --> 01:00:49,558
Abbie, I can explain
all of this.
1181
01:00:49,558 --> 01:00:52,170
No, don't explain anything.
Just tell me the truth.
1182
01:00:54,781 --> 01:00:55,826
Uh...
1183
01:00:57,218 --> 01:00:58,698
Yes.
1184
01:00:58,698 --> 01:01:01,353
It's true. I'm a, I'm a prince,
but a very minor prince.
1185
01:01:01,353 --> 01:01:04,008
There's no such thing
as a minor prince.
1186
01:01:04,008 --> 01:01:06,706
[Daryl] Uh, I'm sorry,
Your Highness, I don't know
what your thoughts are,
1187
01:01:06,706 --> 01:01:11,406
but this ice rink would make
a beautiful sports facility
for your new franchise.
1188
01:01:12,277 --> 01:01:14,192
What? This ice rink?
1189
01:01:14,192 --> 01:01:16,629
Yeah, the Prince's new
professional hockey franchise.
1190
01:01:16,629 --> 01:01:18,326
The Evanston Monarchy.
1191
01:01:18,326 --> 01:01:19,850
[Abigail]
So that's what
this is all about.
1192
01:01:19,850 --> 01:01:22,940
You're trying to buy this
ice rink for your hockey team?
1193
01:01:22,940 --> 01:01:26,204
No, no. I didn't know
that this was the building
that Mr. Blake was looking at.
1194
01:01:26,204 --> 01:01:28,293
You're the one that's
trying to put us out of business.
1195
01:01:28,293 --> 01:01:30,208
No, absolutely not.
1196
01:01:30,208 --> 01:01:33,820
Believe me, Abbie,
I didn't know he was trying
to buy this building.
1197
01:01:33,820 --> 01:01:35,953
- You have to trust me.
- Trust you?
1198
01:01:37,041 --> 01:01:39,565
How could you do this?
I thought you liked me.
1199
01:01:39,565 --> 01:01:41,741
But I do. Abbie, I, I do.
1200
01:01:41,741 --> 01:01:44,701
More than anyone ever before.
1201
01:01:47,486 --> 01:01:49,096
You have a funny way
of showing it.
1202
01:01:50,750 --> 01:01:52,534
I never wanna see you again.
1203
01:02:04,068 --> 01:02:05,069
That could have gone better.
1204
01:02:05,069 --> 01:02:07,854
[breathing heavily]
1205
01:02:13,207 --> 01:02:14,600
Good evening, Your Highness.
1206
01:02:21,389 --> 01:02:23,696
I hope you're happy
doing my mother's bidding.
1207
01:02:26,351 --> 01:02:28,875
I've made a real mess of things.
1208
01:02:28,875 --> 01:02:30,529
Don't be disheartened,
Your Highness,
1209
01:02:30,529 --> 01:02:32,923
- it's really not all that bad.
- [sad music]
1210
01:02:32,923 --> 01:02:35,360
By tomorrow,
we could be back in Donegal,
1211
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,364
surrounded
by the joyous celebrations
of the holiday season.
1212
01:02:39,364 --> 01:02:41,409
A... All of this
will be forgotten.
1213
01:02:41,932 --> 01:02:42,976
Forgotten?
1214
01:02:44,064 --> 01:02:46,153
A... Are you out of your mind?
1215
01:02:50,331 --> 01:02:51,637
[sighs]
1216
01:02:51,637 --> 01:02:53,291
I finally met someone.
1217
01:02:53,291 --> 01:02:55,162
I met someone
I care about.
1218
01:02:57,121 --> 01:02:59,340
Now, it's ruined.
Sh... She thinks I lied to her
1219
01:02:59,340 --> 01:03:02,256
and I plotted to put her
out of business.
1220
01:03:02,256 --> 01:03:04,737
You mean you didn't tell her
who you were?
1221
01:03:06,565 --> 01:03:08,045
Well, no, not exactly.
1222
01:03:09,307 --> 01:03:11,309
But I never lied about it.
1223
01:03:11,309 --> 01:03:12,963
I just didn't want
the royal trappings
1224
01:03:12,963 --> 01:03:15,530
to get in the way
of something special.
1225
01:03:15,530 --> 01:03:17,750
And the further
along it went...?
1226
01:03:20,057 --> 01:03:21,449
Deeper the rabbit hole.
1227
01:03:30,415 --> 01:03:31,590
[sighs]
1228
01:03:32,939 --> 01:03:34,811
I never dreamt
I'd meet someone like her.
1229
01:03:36,900 --> 01:03:39,598
Certainly I didn't think
I'd fall this hard for anyone,
but I did.
1230
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:42,819
[sighs]
1231
01:03:42,819 --> 01:03:45,212
And now
it doesn't matter anymore.
1232
01:03:45,212 --> 01:03:48,868
How can I even think of starting
my new project
here in Evanston now?
1233
01:03:48,868 --> 01:03:51,697
Your Highness, there are
plenty of other small towns.
1234
01:03:51,697 --> 01:03:55,005
No, but this
one's perfect.
1235
01:03:55,005 --> 01:03:57,485
And it has the one thing
that I've been looking for.
1236
01:03:58,573 --> 01:04:00,488
The girl I love.
1237
01:04:00,488 --> 01:04:03,361
[gentle music]
1238
01:04:03,361 --> 01:04:04,623
[sighs]
1239
01:04:04,623 --> 01:04:06,146
I guess that's done now.
1240
01:04:08,627 --> 01:04:14,154
If that's true,
then perhaps it's time for us
to return home without delay.
1241
01:04:15,808 --> 01:04:18,985
I'm sure Mr. Blake can
find another suitable location
1242
01:04:18,985 --> 01:04:21,945
and you can begin fresh
after the new year.
1243
01:04:23,729 --> 01:04:26,863
If you stay,
it's only going to be worse.
1244
01:04:26,863 --> 01:04:29,126
And we still have your mother
to contend with.
1245
01:04:33,347 --> 01:04:34,783
I'm sorry, Marshall.
1246
01:04:43,662 --> 01:04:46,926
I'm not leaving
until I speak with Abbie.
1247
01:04:46,926 --> 01:04:49,233
But I thought you said
it was over, sir.
1248
01:04:49,233 --> 01:04:51,713
Very well may be.
1249
01:04:51,713 --> 01:04:54,629
But there's always a slight
chance of righting the ship.
1250
01:04:55,804 --> 01:04:57,850
I want you to make
a call for me.
1251
01:04:57,850 --> 01:05:00,157
Here's what I want you to do.
Don't mess it up.
1252
01:05:04,074 --> 01:05:06,206
[lively piano music]
1253
01:05:06,206 --> 01:05:07,686
[woman 3]
Oh, well...
1254
01:05:08,992 --> 01:05:10,907
- That was good.
- [man 2] It was fantastic.
1255
01:05:14,171 --> 01:05:15,868
[exhales sharply]
1256
01:05:15,868 --> 01:05:17,478
[music volume increases]
1257
01:05:18,784 --> 01:05:21,134
[muted dialogue]
1258
01:05:53,558 --> 01:05:55,125
[doorbell chimes]
1259
01:05:59,259 --> 01:06:00,739
[Janet]
Thought I'd find you here...
1260
01:06:01,783 --> 01:06:03,829
drowning your sorrows
in a milkshake.
1261
01:06:03,829 --> 01:06:05,483
[melancholic music]
1262
01:06:05,483 --> 01:06:06,745
So you heard.
1263
01:06:07,224 --> 01:06:08,790
Imagine that.
1264
01:06:08,790 --> 01:06:11,663
A real-life prince
right here in Evanston.
1265
01:06:12,359 --> 01:06:14,013
Wow.
1266
01:06:14,013 --> 01:06:15,884
And he was your boyfriend.
1267
01:06:15,884 --> 01:06:18,061
Well, that ended well,
didn't it?
1268
01:06:18,061 --> 01:06:20,019
Don't count me in on that one.
1269
01:06:20,019 --> 01:06:23,109
I wouldn't have sent him packing
so quickly.
1270
01:06:23,109 --> 01:06:25,807
Not at least without hearing
what he has to say.
1271
01:06:27,722 --> 01:06:29,855
But I do have some good news.
1272
01:06:29,855 --> 01:06:32,118
I heard that TV Six,
1273
01:06:32,118 --> 01:06:33,859
all the way from Lock Valley
1274
01:06:33,859 --> 01:06:36,688
is going to cover
the Christmas Ice Parade.
1275
01:06:37,819 --> 01:06:39,343
We'll be on TV.
1276
01:06:39,343 --> 01:06:42,563
This could be huge
for the school.
1277
01:06:42,563 --> 01:06:44,130
Well,
if Prince John had his way,
1278
01:06:44,130 --> 01:06:45,914
my school would already
be shut down.
1279
01:06:49,092 --> 01:06:50,963
Think the TV folks
would still be interested in us
1280
01:06:50,963 --> 01:06:53,096
if they find out
the real star of the show
1281
01:06:53,096 --> 01:06:56,055
is on his way back to
his own little private kingdom?
1282
01:06:56,055 --> 01:06:57,796
Oh, stop.
1283
01:07:01,104 --> 01:07:03,193
They're not coming to see him.
1284
01:07:03,193 --> 01:07:04,716
They're coming to see you.
1285
01:07:06,848 --> 01:07:08,937
Well, maybe they're
coming to see him a little, but
who cares? - [chuckles softly]
1286
01:07:08,937 --> 01:07:12,071
Look, I'll get us a table where
people will sign up for lessons.
1287
01:07:12,071 --> 01:07:14,682
Everyone is going to be
so anxious
1288
01:07:14,682 --> 01:07:17,555
to learn how to skate
after they see you perform.
1289
01:07:19,122 --> 01:07:20,862
Thanks.
1290
01:07:20,862 --> 01:07:22,821
Look, you've really done
a great job.
1291
01:07:22,821 --> 01:07:25,432
[sighs deeply]
1292
01:07:25,432 --> 01:07:28,566
- If only...
- If only you weren't
so miserable?
1293
01:07:29,784 --> 01:07:31,656
[Janet sighs]
1294
01:07:31,656 --> 01:07:35,007
Are you sure you and the
Prince are really through?
1295
01:07:35,007 --> 01:07:38,663
Seems to me like you guys were
just getting started.
1296
01:07:38,663 --> 01:07:40,882
Yeah, I mean,
it happened so fast.
1297
01:07:40,882 --> 01:07:42,884
It felt like
my head was spinning.
1298
01:07:42,884 --> 01:07:45,061
You say anything
that you regretted?
1299
01:07:45,061 --> 01:07:48,890
Honestly, I don't even remember
what I said.
1300
01:07:48,890 --> 01:07:51,676
Something like,
"Get outta my life forever,"
1301
01:07:51,676 --> 01:07:53,634
- or words to that effect.
- [chuckles]
1302
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:57,856
You think maybe you overreacted
just a little bit?
1303
01:07:59,684 --> 01:08:04,036
I mean, maybe if you two
sat down and hashed things out.
1304
01:08:04,036 --> 01:08:06,691
He's probably halfway back
to Donegal by now.
1305
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:09,868
That's where he belongs.
Back in the spotlight
1306
01:08:09,868 --> 01:08:13,611
and in front
of his adoring subjects.
1307
01:08:13,611 --> 01:08:14,699
Wow.
1308
01:08:15,656 --> 01:08:16,875
You're a real sorehead.
1309
01:08:17,919 --> 01:08:20,096
Huh. Do you blame me?
1310
01:08:20,096 --> 01:08:23,751
I mean, he made me look foolish
like a love struck school girl.
1311
01:08:25,405 --> 01:08:27,755
I really thought
that he liked me.
1312
01:08:27,755 --> 01:08:30,193
Are you so sure that he doesn't?
1313
01:08:30,193 --> 01:08:32,151
I mean, guys can be funny.
1314
01:08:32,151 --> 01:08:34,675
They're, they're hard to read.
1315
01:08:36,764 --> 01:08:39,376
Listen, you are never going
to know how he really feels
1316
01:08:39,376 --> 01:08:44,032
about you unless you give him
a chance to explain.
1317
01:08:44,032 --> 01:08:46,296
I don't even think
I could do that if I wanted to.
1318
01:08:46,296 --> 01:08:48,472
[doorbell chimes]
1319
01:08:48,472 --> 01:08:51,562
Well, you're about to find out.
1320
01:08:55,087 --> 01:08:56,828
Abigail.
1321
01:08:56,828 --> 01:09:00,701
Uh, let me guess,
my mother told you where I was.
1322
01:09:00,701 --> 01:09:03,878
Uh, no,
I figured this out on my own.
1323
01:09:05,184 --> 01:09:06,403
Oh,
1324
01:09:06,403 --> 01:09:08,187
my apologies. Do you mind?
1325
01:09:08,187 --> 01:09:10,885
Oh, no, no.
Not at all. Absolutely.
1326
01:09:10,885 --> 01:09:15,673
Um, I will, uh,
just go help Al clean up a bit.
1327
01:09:21,331 --> 01:09:23,202
Thought you'd be
on a plane by now.
1328
01:09:23,202 --> 01:09:26,162
No, not yet.
1329
01:09:26,162 --> 01:09:28,512
I'm not leaving until you hear
what I have to say.
1330
01:09:28,512 --> 01:09:29,730
[soft piano music]
1331
01:09:29,730 --> 01:09:31,558
Well, I guess I can't stop you.
1332
01:09:35,258 --> 01:09:36,737
- [Janet very softly]
Oh, my goodness.
- [John sighs]
1333
01:09:36,737 --> 01:09:39,697
Listen, Abbie,
1334
01:09:39,697 --> 01:09:41,960
I know I should have told you
about myself earlier.
1335
01:09:43,266 --> 01:09:44,571
But when I first got here,
1336
01:09:44,571 --> 01:09:46,225
I was just trying to have
a look at the town
1337
01:09:46,225 --> 01:09:48,967
to see if it might be
a suitable place
for us to settle.
1338
01:09:48,967 --> 01:09:53,363
Yes, we were looking for
a building to house our team.
1339
01:09:53,363 --> 01:09:54,929
But I had absolutely no idea
1340
01:09:54,929 --> 01:09:57,018
that Mr. Blake was looking
at your building.
1341
01:09:57,018 --> 01:10:00,413
It's just one of many properties
that he controls.
1342
01:10:00,413 --> 01:10:02,459
There are other ice rinks
that are just as good,
1343
01:10:02,459 --> 01:10:06,027
and I promise I would never
put you out of business.
1344
01:10:07,464 --> 01:10:09,640
Then why didn't you come clean
about who you were?
1345
01:10:11,076 --> 01:10:12,599
Do you think I was
1346
01:10:12,599 --> 01:10:15,559
in for your money
or your social status?
1347
01:10:15,559 --> 01:10:17,691
- Do you really think
I'm that shallow?
- [John] No.
1348
01:10:17,691 --> 01:10:20,390
Oh, absolutely not.
Of course not.
1349
01:10:20,390 --> 01:10:22,696
I'm so sorry.
1350
01:10:22,696 --> 01:10:24,959
[exhales and stutters]
I just didn't think it mattered.
1351
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:27,962
I mean,
the further along things went,
1352
01:10:27,962 --> 01:10:30,530
the less I cared about
that part of my life.
1353
01:10:30,530 --> 01:10:34,578
Prince John, it, it,
it became a liability.
1354
01:10:37,233 --> 01:10:39,887
I don't know, a title
that could just trip things up.
1355
01:10:41,149 --> 01:10:45,371
I kind of like just being
run-of-the-mill John.
1356
01:10:48,548 --> 01:10:50,028
Yeah, well, I did too.
1357
01:10:59,559 --> 01:11:00,691
[John]
Please.
1358
01:11:01,996 --> 01:11:03,433
Don't let us end this way.
1359
01:11:04,390 --> 01:11:05,739
We've come this far...
1360
01:11:07,915 --> 01:11:10,004
and I never thought
that I'd say this, but...
1361
01:11:11,092 --> 01:11:13,051
[sighs]
1362
01:11:13,051 --> 01:11:14,182
I love you,
1363
01:11:15,401 --> 01:11:17,098
Ms. Abigail Simpson.
1364
01:11:18,839 --> 01:11:21,364
And I believe
that you love me too.
1365
01:11:24,715 --> 01:11:26,499
[Abigail]
I don't know.
1366
01:11:27,370 --> 01:11:29,372
With how things ended, I mean,
1367
01:11:30,503 --> 01:11:32,897
we're so far apart,
it's not even funny.
1368
01:11:34,377 --> 01:11:35,421
You think so?
1369
01:11:36,770 --> 01:11:39,686
Sometimes opposites do attract.
1370
01:11:39,686 --> 01:11:41,993
But do they live
happily ever after?
1371
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,388
In fairy tales, they do.
1372
01:11:47,259 --> 01:11:49,479
[sighs] Give us a chance.
1373
01:11:50,393 --> 01:11:51,916
Another shot at the gold.
1374
01:11:52,917 --> 01:11:55,093
Can't we just hit
the reset button?
1375
01:11:55,746 --> 01:11:56,747
Start over?
1376
01:11:58,183 --> 01:12:01,099
We deserve a
try, don't we?
1377
01:12:09,237 --> 01:12:11,370
And how do you propose
to do that?
1378
01:12:14,808 --> 01:12:16,593
Well, first,
1379
01:12:16,593 --> 01:12:19,160
there's a dance that
we never got a chance to finish.
1380
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,946
[light emotional music]
1381
01:12:24,427 --> 01:12:25,732
It's time.
1382
01:12:28,431 --> 01:12:29,432
Come on.
1383
01:12:42,488 --> 01:12:43,794
[both giggles]
1384
01:12:50,409 --> 01:12:51,628
Yeah.
1385
01:13:13,127 --> 01:13:15,303
[indistinct chatter]
1386
01:13:15,303 --> 01:13:17,610
[lively Christmas music]
1387
01:13:24,051 --> 01:13:26,619
[cheering and applauding]
1388
01:13:46,857 --> 01:13:49,163
[audience continues
cheering and applauding]
1389
01:14:16,234 --> 01:14:18,541
[music volume increases]
1390
01:14:24,460 --> 01:14:25,852
[audience]
Oh!
1391
01:14:28,115 --> 01:14:30,074
[cheering and applauding]
1392
01:14:30,074 --> 01:14:31,162
I love it.
1393
01:14:34,731 --> 01:14:36,689
[cheering]
1394
01:15:10,984 --> 01:15:12,595
Hope you're ready,
'cause the audience
1395
01:15:12,595 --> 01:15:14,814
is totally fired up
for tonight's show.
1396
01:15:14,814 --> 01:15:16,512
Ticket sales
went through the roof.
1397
01:15:18,252 --> 01:15:21,560
- You good?
- [sighs] I don't know.
1398
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,564
I mean, my stomach's in knots,
my legs feel like rubber
and I'm scared to death.
1399
01:15:25,564 --> 01:15:27,174
But besides that...
1400
01:15:28,524 --> 01:15:30,351
- How do we look?
- Amazing.
1401
01:15:30,351 --> 01:15:33,050
Like a million bucks.
1402
01:15:33,050 --> 01:15:34,530
[gentle music]
1403
01:15:34,530 --> 01:15:35,835
Oh, my apologies.
1404
01:15:35,835 --> 01:15:37,184
Two million bucks.
1405
01:15:37,184 --> 01:15:38,490
[sighs]
1406
01:15:39,665 --> 01:15:41,885
Do you really think
this is a good idea?
1407
01:15:41,885 --> 01:15:43,626
I mean, what if I fail?
1408
01:15:43,626 --> 01:15:45,845
You're not going to fail, Abbie.
1409
01:15:45,845 --> 01:15:48,718
The girl who lacks confidence
didn't shohow up today.
1410
01:15:48,718 --> 01:15:51,242
The girl who showeup today
You'ris a champion. fail, Abbie.
1411
01:15:51,242 --> 01:15:53,026
And d champions do

1412
01:15:53,679 --> 01:15:55,202
They win.
1413
01:15:55,202 --> 01:15:57,161
[audience cheering
in thehe background]
1414
01:15:57,161 --> 01:15:59,598

1419
01:16:09,173 --> 01:16:12,089

01:16:12,089 --> 01:16:15,396

[dramatic music
playing over speaks]
1425
01:16:26,190 --> 01:16:27,800
They're playing your song.
1426
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:28,975
Oh, boy.
1427
01:16:29,585 --> 01:16:31,064
[exhales sharply]
1428
01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:38,463
I can't thank you enough for
finally breaking through to her.
1429
01:16:38,463 --> 01:16:40,857
I mean,
this could change everything.
1430
01:16:40,857 --> 01:16:43,033
- I truly hope so.
- [both chuckle]
1431
01:16:43,033 --> 01:16:44,512
Now, if you'll excuse me.
1432
01:16:44,512 --> 01:16:46,950
[gentle music]
1433
01:16:50,127 --> 01:16:52,477
[dramatic music]
1434
01:17:00,703 --> 01:17:03,575
[audience cheering

1435
01:17:13,411 --> 01:17:15,718
[audience cheering
and applauding]
1436
01:17:15,718 --> 01:17:16,849
Yeah!
1437
01:17:16,849 --> 01:17:18,155
Oh!

[cheering and applauding]
1440
01:17:43,833 --> 01:17:46,662
Looks like you got things
all sorted out, Your Highness.
1441
01:17:46,662 --> 01:17:48,838
Indeed, I have Mr. Blake.
1442
01:17:48,838 --> 01:17:50,796
Indeed, I have.
1443
01:17:50,796 --> 01:17:53,669
And it looks like we'll be
looking for a new piece
of property then.
1444
01:17:53,669 --> 01:17:57,020
That's if you are planning
to stay.
1445
01:17:57,020 --> 01:18:00,458
I trust you'll find something
we can all agree on.
1446
01:18:01,589 --> 01:18:03,983
Now, gentlemen,
if you'll excuse me,
1447
01:18:04,636 --> 01:18:06,594
there's one more thing
1448
01:18:06,594 --> 01:18:07,944
I need to take care of.
1449
01:18:12,731 --> 01:18:14,428
I don't know what that is.
1450
01:18:15,473 --> 01:18:18,563
I think
we are about to find out.
1451
01:18:19,259 --> 01:18:21,609
[music continues]
1452
01:18:34,144 --> 01:18:35,798

Whoo!
1456
01:18:46,983 --> 01:18:49,159
[panting]
1457
01:18:53,163 --> 01:18:54,599
[announcer]
Attention,

1458
01:18:54,599 --> 01:18:56,035
it seems as if we have
1459
01:18:56,035 --> 01:18:58,124
one last Christmas treat
for all of you.
1460
01:18:58,124 --> 01:19:02,041
A closing duet featuring
Abigail Simpson
and her very special guest,
1461
01:19:02,041 --> 01:19:06,350
His Royal Highness
Prince John Lackland
of Donegal.
1462
01:19:06,350 --> 01:19:08,047
What're you
doing out here?
1463
01:19:08,047 --> 01:19:09,135
You're crazy.
1464
01:19:09,135 --> 01:19:11,268
Yes, I'm crazy.
1465
01:19:11,268 --> 01:19:12,443
Crazy in love.
1466
01:19:12,443 --> 01:19:14,880
[audience cheering
and applauding]
1467
01:19:16,055 --> 01:19:17,535
This is insane.
1468
01:19:17,535 --> 01:19:19,493
[chuckles] I know.
1469
01:19:19,493 --> 01:19:21,495
Listen, Abbie,
1470
01:19:21,495 --> 01:19:23,933
sometimes you,
you just have to take a chance.
1471
01:19:24,803 --> 01:19:26,674
What do you say, you and I...
1472
01:19:27,588 --> 01:19:28,894
Shall we give it a go?
1473
01:19:30,635 --> 01:19:32,245
How could I say no?
1474
01:19:32,245 --> 01:19:33,551
[sighs in relief]
1475
01:19:33,551 --> 01:19:35,205
Thank you for everything.
1476
01:19:35,205 --> 01:19:36,554
I don't even know what to say.
1477
01:19:36,554 --> 01:19:37,511
Don't say anything.
1478
01:19:37,511 --> 01:19:40,166
You, you've done it right.
1479
01:19:40,166 --> 01:19:43,822
[exhales sharply] And now it's
your time to take a bow.
1480
01:19:43,822 --> 01:19:45,955
