riot of the holiday season--

00:00:11,974 --> 00:00:15,561
William West's His Merry Wife!

7
00:00:15,561 --> 00:00:19,857
Claude Lancaster as James,
a lovelorn man in need

8
00:00:19,857 --> 00:00:22,944
of a little Christmas magic.

9
00:00:22,944 --> 00:00:28,032
Ava Hayward as Rebecca,
the woman he loves.

10
00:00:28,032 --> 00:00:31,369
And introducing Jack
Huston as Charlie,

11
00:00:31,369 --> 00:00:35,998
a guardian angel tasked
with reuniting the two.

12
00:00:38,042 --> 00:00:38,459
An angel?

13
00:00:38,459 --> 00:00:40,044
Well, that depends
on you, my friend.

14
00:00:40,044 --> 00:00:41,420
I am here to help.

15
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:43,005
Now, tell me.

16
00:00:43,005 --> 00:00:44,966
What's this about a girl?

17
00:00:44,966 --> 00:00:46,092
[chuckles]

18
00:00:46,092 --> 00:00:48,386
We were meant to be married.

19
00:00:48,386 --> 00:00:49,011
I fouled it up.

20
00:00:49,011 --> 00:00:50,763
I'd need a miracle to
make things right again.

21
00:00:50,763 --> 00:00:52,598
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

22
00:00:52,598 --> 00:00:55,184
and there's a miracle
around every corner, pal.

23
00:00:55,184 --> 00:00:56,018
[chuckles]

24
00:00:56,018 --> 00:00:58,563
Now where is this girl?

25
00:00:58,563 --> 00:01:00,022
There she is.

26
00:01:00,022 --> 00:01:03,067
[light music]

27
00:01:06,862 --> 00:01:07,613
Rebecca.

28
00:01:07,613 --> 00:01:11,075
Say, what kind of
game are you playing?

29
00:01:11,075 --> 00:01:12,702
You've helped lost
souls before, Charlie.

30
00:01:12,702 --> 00:01:15,454
And you know good and well
why this time is different.

31
00:01:15,454 --> 00:01:17,498
She's my wife.

32
00:01:17,498 --> 00:01:19,792
Maybe in another life.

33
00:01:19,792 --> 00:01:22,211
But tonight, she's
your assignment.

34
00:01:22,211 --> 00:01:23,337
[scoffs]

35
00:01:26,424 --> 00:01:28,551
A picture for the ages.

36
00:01:28,551 --> 00:01:32,054
Our gift to you,
our merry viewer.

37
00:01:32,054 --> 00:01:35,808
[bright music]

38
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,442
Ms. Hardgrove?

39
00:01:44,442 --> 00:01:46,068
Mr. Balaban see you now.

40
00:01:56,037 --> 00:01:58,331
[phone rings in background]

41
00:02:04,128 --> 00:02:05,212
[chuckles]

42
00:02:06,881 --> 00:02:09,091
You've changed the ending.

43
00:02:09,091 --> 00:02:11,761
Charlie is supposed to
pass up on his wings

44
00:02:11,761 --> 00:02:13,179
and help James get the girl.

45
00:02:13,179 --> 00:02:16,474
But instead, you have
him, what, watch Rebecca

46
00:02:16,474 --> 00:02:19,143
as she drives out through
the tall iron gates

47
00:02:19,143 --> 00:02:21,103
and into an uncertain future?

48
00:02:21,103 --> 00:02:22,021
Yes.

49
00:02:22,021 --> 00:02:23,105
It's real life.

50
00:02:23,105 --> 00:02:24,190
No, no, no, no, no, no.

51
00:02:24,190 --> 00:02:27,401
Leave real life for
reality TV shows.

52
00:02:27,401 --> 00:02:28,736
This is a Christmas movie.

53
00:02:28,736 --> 00:02:32,239
Yes, it is, but I think we have
a chance right now to bring

54
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:34,575
His Merry Wife! into
the 21st century

55
00:02:34,575 --> 00:02:38,120
and give audiences something
modern and something real.

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,625
Lucy, the title has
an exclamation point.

57
00:02:42,625 --> 00:02:44,168
Would you like a peppermint?

58
00:02:44,168 --> 00:02:45,169
No, thank you.

59
00:02:45,169 --> 00:02:48,756
You know, every other studio
passed on His Merry Wife!

60
00:02:48,756 --> 00:02:52,176
But my grandfather, Harold
Balaban, saw the potential,

61
00:02:52,176 --> 00:02:56,013
knew that it had all the
makings for a classic.

62
00:02:56,013 --> 00:02:57,765
Right, and I love a classic.

63
00:02:57,765 --> 00:02:59,892
I'm all for honoring
the original version.

64
00:02:59,892 --> 00:03:00,142
Good.

65
00:03:00,142 --> 00:03:02,561
It's just that we are living
in a different time period now,

66
00:03:02,561 --> 00:03:07,024
and I think this generation
would want its own voice.

67
00:03:09,777 --> 00:03:12,655
My grandfather actually took
me with him to Biltmore when

68
00:03:12,655 --> 00:03:14,198
he decided to visit the set.

69
00:03:14,198 --> 00:03:17,201
I had to be, I don't know, all
of about seven at the time.

70
00:03:17,201 --> 00:03:19,453
I'll tell you, there's
something really

71
00:03:19,453 --> 00:03:21,372
special about that place.

72
00:03:21,372 --> 00:03:24,792
So maybe what you need is
to see it for yourself.

73
00:03:24,792 --> 00:03:27,086
Let's send you
down to Asheville.

74
00:03:27,086 --> 00:03:29,130
Oh.

75
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:29,839
OK.

76
00:03:29,839 --> 00:03:30,381
Good.

77
00:03:30,381 --> 00:03:31,507
You're going tomorrow.

78
00:03:31,507 --> 00:03:33,217
Oh, well, Christmas
is in a few days.

79
00:03:33,217 --> 00:03:34,427
So--
That's even better.

80
00:03:34,427 --> 00:03:37,179
You get to see the
place all lit up.

81
00:03:37,179 --> 00:03:38,180
OK.

82
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:39,181
Mr. Balaban--

83
00:03:39,181 --> 00:03:39,765
No.

84
00:03:39,765 --> 00:03:40,725
Michael, please.

85
00:03:40,725 --> 00:03:41,517
Michael.

86
00:03:41,517 --> 00:03:42,476
Michael.

87
00:03:42,476 --> 00:03:45,646
I'm just-- I'm really
not sure how to write

88
00:03:45,646 --> 00:03:47,940
something I don't believe.

89
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:52,361
[chuckles] Lucy, I
like you, and I think

90
00:03:52,361 --> 00:03:53,779
you have a lot of promise.

91
00:03:53,779 --> 00:03:57,908
But I also need a writer
who's on the same page.

92
00:03:57,908 --> 00:03:58,242
OK?

93
00:03:58,242 --> 00:04:00,411
Now, Sandy will get
you all the notes,

94
00:04:00,411 --> 00:04:01,579
take care of your travel plans.

95
00:04:01,579 --> 00:04:04,248
You just go to Biltmore,
have a good time.

96
00:04:04,248 --> 00:04:05,207
Thanks.

97
00:04:05,207 --> 00:04:06,250
Good.

98
00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:07,334
Oh, and, Lucy, Lucy.

99
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:08,085
Yes.

100
00:04:08,085 --> 00:04:10,212
I want a happy ending.

101
00:04:10,212 --> 00:04:10,880
OK?

102
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,842
[light playful music]

103
00:04:14,842 --> 00:04:18,137
[gentle music]

104
00:04:19,722 --> 00:04:21,766
I wish it were different.

105
00:04:21,766 --> 00:04:24,935
For a moment, you
made me so very happy.

106
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:36,280
What are you doing, James?

107
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:37,281
Go after her.

108
00:04:37,281 --> 00:04:40,534
Wouldn't change
a thing, Charlie.

109
00:04:40,534 --> 00:04:43,454
She's in love with a memory.

110
00:04:43,454 --> 00:04:45,414
I never stood a chance.

111
00:04:51,796 --> 00:04:56,258
Thank you for all of your help.

112
00:05:00,054 --> 00:05:01,514
Help?

113
00:05:01,514 --> 00:05:04,225
Is that what you gave him?

114
00:05:04,225 --> 00:05:06,644
I'm so sorry.

115
00:05:06,644 --> 00:05:08,270
I was selfish.

116
00:05:08,270 --> 00:05:14,068
Just give me another
chance to try to fix it.

117
00:05:14,068 --> 00:05:17,154
I'm afraid there's no time
for second chances now.

118
00:05:22,827 --> 00:05:25,079
You know the rules, Charlie.

119
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:27,498
Christmas is almost over.

120
00:05:27,498 --> 00:05:29,291
I don't care.

121
00:05:29,291 --> 00:05:33,796
If you leave, you can
forget about those wings.

122
00:05:33,796 --> 00:05:36,257
(BOTH) I never did like to fly.

123
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:40,302
What, I'm invested.

124
00:05:40,302 --> 00:05:43,264
The guy spends the whole movie
trying to break those two up

125
00:05:43,264 --> 00:05:45,140
and then suddenly
has a change of heart

126
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:46,308
in the last 10 minutes.

127
00:05:46,308 --> 00:05:48,269
Yeah, it's romantic.

128
00:05:48,269 --> 00:05:49,728
It's convenient.

129
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:50,312
Oh.

130
00:05:50,312 --> 00:05:52,857
You used to love this
movie when we were little.

131
00:05:52,857 --> 00:05:55,985
You could practically
recite it from memory.

132
00:05:56,151 --> 00:05:57,361
It's sappy.

133
00:05:57,361 --> 00:06:00,364
He loves her, and he knows
it will make her happy.

134
00:06:00,364 --> 00:06:02,324
And we know that when
push comes to shove,

135
00:06:02,324 --> 00:06:04,159
people will always choose
their own happiness.

136
00:06:04,159 --> 00:06:08,747
OK, well, that is just the
cynical, tortured writer

137
00:06:08,747 --> 00:06:09,582
side of you.

138
00:06:09,582 --> 00:06:13,919
Some people really do
get a happily ever after.

139
00:06:16,088 --> 00:06:18,716
So what are you going
to do about your script?

140
00:06:18,716 --> 00:06:19,341
I don't know, man.

141
00:06:19,341 --> 00:06:21,844
My career's been on life support
for the last three years.

142
00:06:21,844 --> 00:06:23,554
I don't know that an
opportunity like this

143
00:06:23,554 --> 00:06:25,180
is going to come around again.

144
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:26,432
I think I just have
to figure it out.

145
00:06:26,432 --> 00:06:28,684
Do you think you're going
to be back by New Year's?

146
00:06:28,684 --> 00:06:31,729
There's just somebody
I want you to meet.

147
00:06:31,729 --> 00:06:32,354
No, Becca.

148
00:06:32,354 --> 00:06:34,356
He's perfect for you.

149
00:06:34,356 --> 00:06:35,399
You say that every time.

150
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:38,360
Because it's true
almost every time.

151
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,905
And you never, ever give
these guys a chance.

152
00:06:40,905 --> 00:06:42,740
Jack Huston could walked
through this door,

153
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:44,950
and you would find
something wrong with him.

154
00:06:44,950 --> 00:06:47,411
[laughs] That's not true.

155
00:06:47,411 --> 00:06:50,539
Come on, you just have to
put yourself out there.

156
00:06:50,539 --> 00:06:53,542
I'm just going to spare
myself the heartache.

157
00:06:53,542 --> 00:06:57,171
Hey, you deserve a
really great guy who

158
00:06:57,171 --> 00:06:59,465
will sweep you off your feet.

159
00:06:59,465 --> 00:07:01,216
I like my feet right
where they are.

160
00:07:01,216 --> 00:07:04,511
Plus, I have someone else's
happiness to worry about.

161
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:05,387
[sighs]

162
00:07:05,387 --> 00:07:06,472
[light music]

163
00:07:06,472 --> 00:07:07,973
We're going to
miss you this year,

164
00:07:07,973 --> 00:07:11,727
and, you know, Dad promised
that he would go caroling.

165
00:07:11,727 --> 00:07:12,394
Oh, yay.

166
00:07:12,394 --> 00:07:14,271
I need a video of that.

167
00:07:14,271 --> 00:07:14,396
OK.

168
00:07:14,396 --> 00:07:16,899
And please try to get some
Christmas spirit before you're

169
00:07:16,899 --> 00:07:18,776
visited by three pushy ghosts.

170
00:07:18,776 --> 00:07:19,652
Pff, never.

171
00:07:19,652 --> 00:07:21,195
[laughs] OK, Merry Christmas.

172
00:07:21,195 --> 00:07:23,238
I miss you.
Call me when you're back.

173
00:07:23,238 --> 00:07:23,948
OK.
OK.

174
00:07:23,948 --> 00:07:25,366
[kisses]

175
00:07:25,366 --> 00:07:28,410

176
00:07:29,745 --> 00:07:31,413
[sighs]

177
00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:35,834
Bah, humbug.

178
00:07:35,834 --> 00:07:39,129
[bright music]

179
00:07:50,641 --> 00:07:53,811
[chatter]

180
00:07:55,187 --> 00:07:56,355
Ms. Hardgrove?

181
00:07:56,355 --> 00:07:56,438
Hi.

182
00:07:56,438 --> 00:07:58,440
Welcome to the inn of
the Biltmore Estate.

00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,358
Lucy.

184
00:07:59,358 --> 00:08:00,484
Oh, Winston.

185
00:08:00,484 --> 00:08:01,735
We're so happy to have you here.

186
00:08:01,735 --> 00:08:04,363
If you walk this way, I'll
show you to your room.

187
00:08:04,363 --> 00:08:05,489
OK.

188
00:08:05,489 --> 00:08:08,367
You know, William West visited
Biltmore when he was writing

189
00:08:08,367 --> 00:08:09,785
the original His Merry Wife!

190
00:08:09,785 --> 00:08:12,955
Hopefully we can be a
similar inspiration to you.

191
00:08:12,955 --> 00:08:15,499
Here you go, your room, 359.

192
00:08:15,499 --> 00:08:16,458
Thank you so much.

193
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:17,626
After you've had a
chance to settle in,

194
00:08:17,626 --> 00:08:19,712
I'd love if you could
join me for the evening

195
00:08:19,712 --> 00:08:20,879
tour of Biltmore House.

196
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:22,047
Oh, thank you.

197
00:08:22,047 --> 00:08:24,466
I think I'm probably just going
to sleep off some jet lag.

198
00:08:24,466 --> 00:08:27,011
I think it'll be
worth your time.

199
00:08:27,011 --> 00:08:28,887
It starts in an hour.

200
00:08:28,887 --> 00:08:32,391

[crickets chirping]

202
00:09:13,474 --> 00:09:15,768
Christmas at Biltmore
is a tradition that

203
00:09:15,768 --> 00:09:19,063
goes all the way back to 1895.

204
00:09:19,063 --> 00:09:21,356
And we go to great
lengths to try to recreate

205
00:09:21,356 --> 00:09:22,608
that same magic every year.

206
00:09:22,608 --> 00:09:24,568
Our guests tell us
that they sometimes

207
00:09:24,568 --> 00:09:29,615
feel as if they've been
transported to another time.

208
00:09:29,615 --> 00:09:31,492
Next up is the billiards room.

209
00:09:31,492 --> 00:09:32,576
Come this way.

210
00:09:32,576 --> 00:09:34,787
[light music]

211
00:09:34,787 --> 00:09:38,582
I can tell by the expressions
on your face that some of you

212
00:09:38,582 --> 00:09:39,917
recognize this room.

213
00:09:39,917 --> 00:09:43,587
What holiday classic
was shot at Biltmore?

214
00:09:43,587 --> 00:09:45,297
His Merry Wife!

215
00:09:45,297 --> 00:09:47,925
You are correct.

216
00:09:47,925 --> 00:09:48,884
Right this way.

217
00:09:48,884 --> 00:09:52,888
Principal photography
began December of 1947

218
00:09:52,888 --> 00:09:54,056
right here at Biltmore.

219
00:09:54,056 --> 00:09:56,016
And many pieces
from our collection

220
00:09:56,016 --> 00:09:58,560
were incorporated into the film.

221
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:02,564
This banquet table you may
remember from the famous dinner

222
00:10:02,564 --> 00:10:03,732

[light music]

226
00:10:16,036 --> 00:10:18,038
Right this way.

227
00:10:18,038 --> 00:10:22,626
Here, we have the gown worn
by Ava Hayward in the film's

228
00:10:22,626 --> 00:10:24,169
emotional conclusion.

229
00:10:24,169 --> 00:10:25,838
You know, Hayward
wasn't the studio's

230
00:10:25,838 --> 00:10:27,172
first choice to play Rebecca.

231
00:10:27,172 --> 00:10:30,384
In fact, at this point in time,
she was sort of considered box

232
00:10:30,384 --> 00:10:31,385
office poison.

233
00:10:31,385 --> 00:10:35,681
However, writer-director
Williams West cast her,

234
00:10:35,681 --> 00:10:38,183
it revived her
career, and she went

235
00:10:38,183 --> 00:10:41,603
on to win two Academy Awards.

236
00:10:41,603 --> 00:10:44,648
And here we have Mr.
Claude Lancaster,

237
00:10:44,648 --> 00:10:46,191
Hollywood's Mr. Nice Guy.

238
00:10:46,191 --> 00:10:48,944
He brought the star
power to this project.

239
00:10:48,944 --> 00:10:51,655
People say that he was
just as nice in person.

240
00:10:51,655 --> 00:10:56,493
Jack Huston was a relative
newcomer with just a couple

241
00:10:56,493 --> 00:10:57,661
of credits to his name.

242
00:10:57,661 --> 00:11:01,081
Funny story-- he took a bit
part in a musical called Meet Me

243
00:11:01,081 --> 00:11:03,709
in Poughkeepsie so he could
get on to the lot and meet

244
00:11:03,709 --> 00:11:07,254
the studio head, Harold
Balaban, who he convinced

245
00:11:07,254 --> 00:11:09,131
to get an audition for--

246
00:11:09,131 --> 00:11:10,340
His Merry Wife!

247
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:11,133
His Merry Wife!

248
00:11:11,133 --> 00:11:12,759
Sadly, Jack passed
away and wasn't

249
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,804
able to enjoy the tremendous
success of the film.

250
00:11:15,804 --> 00:11:17,931
He died the following Christmas.

251
00:11:17,931 --> 00:11:20,642
Anyway, thank you
very much for coming.

252
00:11:20,642 --> 00:11:22,436

If you have time, there is one
more room I'd like you to see.

00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,244
Oh.

257
00:11:39,244 --> 00:11:39,870

Excuse me.

261
00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:47,586
Thank you.

266

I know.

267
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,719
You keep the prop on
display all year round?

268
00:11:55,719 --> 00:11:58,222
Actually, the hourglass
is not a prop.

269
00:11:58,222 --> 00:12:00,682
It comes from Biltmore's
private collection.

270
00:12:00,682 --> 00:12:01,642
Oh.

271
00:12:01,642 --> 00:12:03,685
William West was so
taken with it that he

272
00:12:03,685 --> 00:12:04,895
wrote it into the script.

273
00:12:04,895 --> 00:12:05,771
Hmm.

274
00:12:05,771 --> 00:12:07,147
It's cracked.

275
00:12:07,147 --> 00:12:09,191
So that happened during filming.

276
00:12:09,191 --> 00:12:10,692
Luckily, they were
able to repair it.

277
00:12:10,692 --> 00:12:13,612
All it's got is that
little infringement now.

278
00:12:13,612 --> 00:12:15,572
It's usually in a safe
vault, but I had it

279
00:12:15,572 --> 00:12:16,740
brought out especially for you.

280
00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:19,868
I thought you might like to see
it in person before it leaves.

281
00:12:19,868 --> 00:12:20,744
Leaves?

282
00:12:20,744 --> 00:12:22,079
It's being loaned
to the Smithsonian

283
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:24,122

of Hollywood exhibition.

Are you all right?

367
00:15:53,623 --> 00:15:55,542
[light festive music]

368
00:15:55,542 --> 00:15:56,960
Hi, Mr. Balaban.

369
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,794
It's Lucy.

370
00:15:57,794 --> 00:15:59,546
I'm really sorry.

371
00:15:59,546 --> 00:16:00,922
Our call dropped.

372
00:16:00,922 --> 00:16:02,924
I'm not really
sure what happened.

373
00:16:02,924 --> 00:16:05,719
Anyway, give me a buzz
back when you get a chance.

374
00:16:05,719 --> 00:16:06,720
Thank you.

375
00:16:11,141 --> 00:16:13,852
Oh, I wish I had known people
were going to dress up.

376
00:16:13,852 --> 00:16:15,562
I would have brought
my fascinator.

377
00:16:15,562 --> 00:16:17,355
It's just like the
one Eva Hayward wears.

378
00:16:17,355 --> 00:16:19,900
What do you mean dress up,
like historical reenactments

379
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:21,401
or like cosplay
characters from the film?

380
00:16:21,401 --> 00:16:24,404
Yeah, so you can take pictures
with all the decorations.

381
00:16:24,404 --> 00:16:26,948
It's in the brochure.

382
00:16:26,948 --> 00:16:28,325
It's in the brochure.

383
00:16:28,325 --> 00:16:29,576
Uh-huh.

384
00:16:29,576 --> 00:16:30,785
I'm Margaret.

385
00:16:30,785 --> 00:16:31,953
I'm Lucy.

386
00:16:31,953 --> 00:16:34,956
Well, Lucy, we better double
time it if we're going

387
00:16:34,956 --> 00:16:36,750
to get there before it starts.

388
00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:37,584
It what?

389
00:16:37,584 --> 00:16:38,960
The tree lighting.

390
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,669
Oh.

391
00:16:39,669 --> 00:16:40,337
Come on.

392
00:16:40,337 --> 00:16:42,964
[festive violin music]

393
00:16:42,964 --> 00:16:45,926
So are you here with family?

394
00:16:45,926 --> 00:16:47,344
No, I'm a--

395
00:16:47,344 --> 00:16:47,969
I'm a writer.

396
00:16:47,969 --> 00:16:49,304
I'm here on work.

397
00:16:49,304 --> 00:16:50,847
Oh, what do you write?

398
00:16:50,847 --> 00:16:51,973
Movies.

399
00:16:51,973 --> 00:16:52,724
How glamorous.

400
00:16:52,724 --> 00:16:53,558
Yeah, it's fun.

401
00:16:53,558 --> 00:16:55,852
Have you ever met
Sandra Bullock.

402
00:16:55,852 --> 00:16:56,895
Sadly, no.

403
00:16:56,895 --> 00:16:59,606
Oh, well, that's too bad
because I read somewhere

404
00:16:59,606 --> 00:17:01,858
that she is very nice.

405
00:17:01,858 --> 00:17:06,029
Hey, you should write
a movie for her.

406
00:17:06,029 --> 00:17:07,572
[gasps]

407
00:17:07,572 --> 00:17:10,742
[clapping]

408
00:17:11,368 --> 00:17:14,037
This trip was my
Christmas gift to myself.

409
00:17:14,037 --> 00:17:18,083
[laughs] I wanted to visit
for as long as I can remember.

410
00:17:18,083 --> 00:17:19,793
Because of His Merry Wife!

411
00:17:19,793 --> 00:17:20,460
How'd you know?

412
00:17:20,460 --> 00:17:21,419
You seem like a fan.

413
00:17:21,419 --> 00:17:23,004
[laughs] Yeah.

414
00:17:23,004 --> 00:17:26,466
My mother and I used to watch
it every year at Christmas.

415
00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:28,009
It was our little tradition.

416
00:17:28,009 --> 00:17:31,012
She would make a
big bowl of popcorn,

417
00:17:31,012 --> 00:17:34,474
and then we'd break
out the box of Kleenex.

418
00:17:34,474 --> 00:17:37,936
It's my absolute favorite movie.

419
00:17:37,936 --> 00:17:41,439
Being here, it's a
little like I'm in it.

420
00:17:41,439 --> 00:17:45,694
Like, oh, look, right over there
is where Rebecca first meets

421
00:17:45,694 --> 00:17:49,072
James's disapproving parents.

422
00:17:49,072 --> 00:17:52,951
Oh, and that is where Charlie
sees Rebecca for the first time

423
00:17:52,951 --> 00:17:57,664
and realizes his last assignment
to get his wings is the woman

424
00:17:57,664 --> 00:17:58,790
he loves.

425
00:17:58,790 --> 00:18:02,043
Oh, and when he races
through the Italian garden

426
00:18:02,043 --> 00:18:03,086
to stop her from leaving.

427
00:18:03,086 --> 00:18:07,340
I mean, they just don't
make men like that anymore.

428
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:11,011
There are so many locations
I want to get photos of.

429
00:18:11,011 --> 00:18:16,057
I mean, this was a
major motion picture.

430
00:18:16,057 --> 00:18:19,311
[light shimmering music]

431
00:18:20,937 --> 00:18:22,606
I'll be right back.

432
00:18:22,606 --> 00:18:24,941
OK.

433
00:18:24,941 --> 00:18:28,153
[slinking music, chatter]

434
00:18:59,142 --> 00:19:03,063
[dramatic orchestral music]

435
00:19:10,362 --> 00:19:12,113
[exhales]

436
00:19:13,198 --> 00:19:16,576
[gentle string music]

437
00:19:20,288 --> 00:19:23,541
[slinking music]

438
00:19:26,169 --> 00:19:29,506
[sand trickling]

439
00:19:34,135 --> 00:19:38,056
[dramatic music]

440
00:19:39,599 --> 00:19:43,687
[dramatic string music]

441
00:19:43,687 --> 00:19:46,064
[sand trickling]

442
00:19:51,736 --> 00:19:55,031
[dramatic music]

443
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,201
[laughs]

444
00:19:58,201 --> 00:20:01,246
[chatter]

445
00:20:01,246 --> 00:20:04,916
Oh, this cannot-- this
cannot be happening.

446
00:20:04,916 --> 00:20:07,752
Hey, you're not supposed
to be back here.

447
00:20:07,752 --> 00:20:08,378
Oh.

448
00:20:08,378 --> 00:20:09,587
This is a closed set.

449
00:20:09,587 --> 00:20:11,172
Mr. West's orders.

450
00:20:11,172 --> 00:20:11,548
Mr. West?

451
00:20:11,548 --> 00:20:13,174
We're going to need for
you to come with me.

452
00:20:13,174 --> 00:20:14,259
There you are.
You're late.

453
00:20:14,259 --> 00:20:15,969
The boys from
central casting told

454
00:20:15,969 --> 00:20:17,303
me you'd be here an hour ago.

455
00:20:17,303 --> 00:20:18,763
Sandra, right?

456
00:20:18,763 --> 00:20:20,265
Candy cane girl?

457
00:20:23,727 --> 00:20:24,352
Yes.

458
00:20:24,352 --> 00:20:26,187
We got to get you to wardrobe.

459
00:20:26,187 --> 00:20:27,188
Follow me.

460
00:20:27,188 --> 00:20:29,190
Here's a piece of
advice for me to you.

461
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:30,567
Time is money in this business.

462
00:20:30,567 --> 00:20:35,280
And if you're not 5 minutes
early, you're 10 minutes late.

463
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,407
What on earth are you wearing?

464
00:20:37,407 --> 00:20:40,243
[sighs] Looks like they
flubbed your measurements

465
00:20:40,243 --> 00:20:42,245
at the agency.

466
00:20:42,245 --> 00:20:45,457
Nothing we can do now.

467
00:20:45,457 --> 00:20:48,710
[soft tense music]

468
00:20:50,086 --> 00:20:51,171
All right, OK.

469
00:20:51,171 --> 00:20:57,969
This is all going to be over,
just like it was last time.

470
00:20:57,969 --> 00:21:02,182
1, 2, 3.

471
00:21:02,182 --> 00:21:03,141
[door opens]

472
00:21:03,141 --> 00:21:06,186
You were due on
set 15 minutes ago.

473
00:21:06,186 --> 00:21:08,188
[sighs]

474
00:21:11,191 --> 00:21:14,444
Put this on, and get to set.

475
00:21:14,444 --> 00:21:17,530
[tense music]

476
00:21:18,448 --> 00:21:20,658
All right, it's the night
of the big Christmas to do.

477
00:21:20,658 --> 00:21:23,286
You've just told your
folks that you plan to wed,

478
00:21:23,286 --> 00:21:25,497
and they threaten to
cut you out of the will.

479
00:21:25,497 --> 00:21:26,915
But you love her.

480
00:21:26,915 --> 00:21:27,957
But you need his help.

481
00:21:27,957 --> 00:21:30,418
Now, remember, nobody can see
you except for the big lug

482
00:21:30,418 --> 00:21:31,294
here.

483
00:21:31,294 --> 00:21:32,170
Yes, sir.

484
00:21:32,170 --> 00:21:33,254
Ready for rehearsal?

485
00:21:33,254 --> 00:21:34,255
I think we got it.

486
00:21:34,255 --> 00:21:35,799
Let's go again.

487
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,218
Places, everyone, places.

488
00:21:38,218 --> 00:21:39,302
Speed.

489
00:21:39,302 --> 00:21:40,178
Music.

490
00:21:40,178 --> 00:21:42,931
[light music]

491
00:21:42,931 --> 00:21:43,890
Action.

492
00:21:46,684 --> 00:21:49,729
Don't look now, but I
think we have an audience.

493
00:21:49,729 --> 00:21:50,897
[scoffs]

494
00:21:51,606 --> 00:21:54,484
[sighs] Will your parents
ever approve of me?

495
00:21:54,484 --> 00:21:55,944
Oh, hush now.

496
00:21:55,944 --> 00:21:57,320
They'll come around, kid.

497
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,571
And if they don't?

498
00:21:58,571 --> 00:22:01,282
Tell her that you'll
whisk her away.

499
00:22:01,282 --> 00:22:02,867
I'll whisk you far away from me.
Whisk?

500
00:22:02,867 --> 00:22:05,203
And I'll tell her that
you'll buy her a house.

501
00:22:05,203 --> 00:22:06,871
Buy us a house of our own.

502
00:22:06,871 --> 00:22:07,664
A house?

503
00:22:07,664 --> 00:22:10,166
Tell her that you'll
fill it with roses.

504
00:22:10,166 --> 00:22:12,293
And fill it with roses.

505
00:22:12,293 --> 00:22:13,253
Roses?

506
00:22:13,253 --> 00:22:15,338
One for every day since
you walked into my life.

507
00:22:15,338 --> 00:22:17,131
Oh, that's a nice touch, kid.

508
00:22:17,131 --> 00:22:20,802
Well, that'd be grand if I
weren't allergic to them.

509
00:22:20,802 --> 00:22:21,970
Mmm.

510
00:22:21,970 --> 00:22:23,054
Sorry about that, old sport.

511
00:22:23,054 --> 00:22:25,223
I thought that was
right on the money.

512
00:22:27,308 --> 00:22:29,060
And cut.

513
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:31,312
Oh, stop stepping on
my line, sweetheart.

514
00:22:31,312 --> 00:22:32,313
My apologies.

515
00:22:32,313 --> 00:22:33,982
Next time, I'll
aim for your feet.

516
00:22:33,982 --> 00:22:35,275
[groans]

517
00:22:37,151 --> 00:22:37,944
Hmm.

518
00:22:37,944 --> 00:22:40,154
[playful music]

519
00:22:41,614 --> 00:22:43,950
Thank you, Peggy.

520
00:22:43,950 --> 00:22:45,451
Hi, there.

521
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:46,286
Hi.

522
00:22:46,286 --> 00:22:48,246
I'm Jack Huston.

523
00:22:50,540 --> 00:22:53,376
You got a name?

524
00:22:53,376 --> 00:22:54,377
Oh, Sandra.

525
00:22:54,377 --> 00:22:55,336
Sandra.

526
00:22:55,336 --> 00:22:56,880
Sandra?

527
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,839
Bullock.

528
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:01,342
Well, Ms. Bullock, it's
nice to meet you, again.

529
00:23:01,342 --> 00:23:02,468
Yeah.
Now, look at this.

530
00:23:02,468 --> 00:23:04,429
It's been 10 seconds, and you
haven't bolted for the door.

531
00:23:04,429 --> 00:23:06,598
So I'd say we're already
off to a better start.

532
00:23:06,598 --> 00:23:07,891
Oh, I've been here too long.

533
00:23:07,891 --> 00:23:09,976
Do you have somewhere
that you need to be?

534
00:23:09,976 --> 00:23:11,185
You could say that.

535
00:23:11,185 --> 00:23:12,312
Well, I did say that.

536
00:23:12,312 --> 00:23:14,355
Did you see where that
security guard went?

537
00:23:14,355 --> 00:23:15,481
Yeah, he went that way.

538
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:16,357
Great.

539
00:23:16,357 --> 00:23:19,068
Oh.

540
00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:20,945
Hey, hold this for me, Gus.

541
00:23:20,945 --> 00:23:24,240
[slinking music]

542
00:23:26,409 --> 00:23:29,162
[tense music]

543
00:23:29,162 --> 00:23:32,165
Ms. Bullock, what was with
the disappearing act earlier?

544
00:23:32,165 --> 00:23:34,083
Don't they need you
for the next scene?

545
00:23:34,083 --> 00:23:34,417
Nah.

546
00:23:34,417 --> 00:23:35,877
They're filming the
final scene of the movie.

547
00:23:35,877 --> 00:23:37,420
Well, last time I
checked, you were in that.

548
00:23:37,420 --> 00:23:38,588
[laughs] That's news to me.

549
00:23:38,588 --> 00:23:39,380
What do you mean?

550
00:23:39,380 --> 00:23:40,590
Whoa, watch your head.

551
00:23:40,590 --> 00:23:41,507
What do you mean?

552
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:43,384
No, Charlie gives up
a chance at his wings,

553
00:23:43,384 --> 00:23:44,969
he chases Rebecca
out into the garden,

554
00:23:44,969 --> 00:23:47,263
they share a final goodbye,
and she reunites with James.

555
00:23:47,263 --> 00:23:48,389
That's the end of the movie.

556
00:23:48,389 --> 00:23:50,600
No, that's not the
script that I read.

557
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,601
It's not?
No.

558
00:23:51,601 --> 00:23:52,936
But what made you say that?

559
00:23:52,936 --> 00:23:55,855
Because I've been thinking of
something along those lines,

560
00:23:55,855 --> 00:23:57,398
and nobody will go for it.

561
00:23:57,398 --> 00:23:58,775
I am Sandra.

562
00:23:58,775 --> 00:24:02,028
[tense music]

563
00:24:05,907 --> 00:24:08,242
I'm starting to think it's me.

564
00:24:08,242 --> 00:24:11,412
[light upbeat music]

565
00:24:21,422 --> 00:24:23,257
She said she was an actress.

566
00:24:23,257 --> 00:24:25,176
Well, where did she go?

567
00:24:25,176 --> 00:24:28,346
[tense music]

568
00:24:33,810 --> 00:24:35,144
[gasps]

569
00:24:40,608 --> 00:24:44,654
You-- how-- where
did you come from?

570
00:24:44,654 --> 00:24:47,865
I can explain.

571
00:24:47,865 --> 00:24:49,117
No, I can't.

572
00:24:49,117 --> 00:24:52,495
You weren't there.

573
00:24:52,495 --> 00:24:54,497
And then you were there.

574
00:24:54,497 --> 00:24:55,498
What are you wearing?

575
00:24:55,498 --> 00:24:57,917
[stammers] Why are you here?

576
00:24:57,917 --> 00:24:59,252
Well, you were so upset.

577
00:24:59,252 --> 00:25:00,253
I was worried.

578
00:25:00,253 --> 00:25:02,505
You said you'd be
right back, and you

579
00:25:02,505 --> 00:25:04,132
were gone almost an hour.

580
00:25:04,132 --> 00:25:04,799
An hour.

581
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:06,009
An hour!

582
00:25:06,009 --> 00:25:06,759
OK.

583
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:08,469
Hey, is that the
one from the movie?

584
00:25:08,469 --> 00:25:10,471
Yeah, don't touch it.

585
00:25:10,471 --> 00:25:11,472
Why not?

586
00:25:11,472 --> 00:25:14,475
Ladies, I'm sorry, we're about
to close up for the night.

587
00:25:14,475 --> 00:25:15,351
Oh.

588
00:25:15,351 --> 00:25:16,269
Sorry.

589
00:25:16,269 --> 00:25:19,856
I just was here to take
photos of the hourglass

590
00:25:19,856 --> 00:25:20,815
for my research.

591
00:25:20,815 --> 00:25:22,483
And I'm sure we'll be
able to accommodate you

592
00:25:22,483 --> 00:25:24,527
during the appropriate hours.

593
00:25:24,527 --> 00:25:25,778
Sure, sure.
Yeah.

594
00:25:25,778 --> 00:25:26,738
Sorry.

595
00:25:28,448 --> 00:25:30,533
By the way, I love this costume.

596
00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:31,409
Oh.

597
00:25:31,409 --> 00:25:32,493
Straight out of the movie.

598
00:25:32,493 --> 00:25:34,537
[laughs] Yeah.

599
00:25:34,537 --> 00:25:35,538
It's funny.

600
00:25:35,538 --> 00:25:37,957
Hey, you've been running
the His Merry Wife! tour

601
00:25:37,957 --> 00:25:39,417
for quite some time, right?

602
00:25:39,417 --> 00:25:40,334
I have.

603
00:25:40,334 --> 00:25:42,503
So you must know a bit
about the obscure trivia

604
00:25:42,503 --> 00:25:44,464
surrounding the production.

605
00:25:44,464 --> 00:25:45,256
Yes.

606
00:25:45,256 --> 00:25:46,758
Are you thinking of
something specific?

607
00:25:46,758 --> 00:25:50,261
Have you heard anything
about an alternate ending?

608
00:25:50,261 --> 00:25:51,512
There were rumors.

609
00:25:51,512 --> 00:25:52,889
Nothing substantiated.

610
00:25:52,889 --> 00:25:54,015
What kind of rumors?

611
00:25:54,015 --> 00:25:59,520
Well, that it was more
somber, something bittersweet.

612
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,939
What happened to that?
Why did William West change it?

613
00:26:01,939 --> 00:26:03,149
Did the studio step in?

614
00:26:03,149 --> 00:26:04,025
No one knows.

615
00:26:04,025 --> 00:26:05,401
I don't think we'll ever know.

616
00:26:05,401 --> 00:26:08,112
Everyone involved with that
production has passed on.

617
00:26:08,112 --> 00:26:11,532
I think that ending
is lost to history.

618
00:26:11,532 --> 00:26:14,535
[soft music]

619
00:26:17,497 --> 00:26:18,456
[sobbing]

620
00:26:18,456 --> 00:26:19,332
Please.

621
00:26:19,332 --> 00:26:21,542
Rebecca, it's all my
fault. You have to stop.

622
00:26:28,132 --> 00:26:30,218
Charlie.

623
00:26:30,218 --> 00:26:32,553
How?

624
00:26:32,553 --> 00:26:34,138
You can see me?

625
00:26:34,138 --> 00:26:35,556
Just for now, Charlie.

626
00:26:35,556 --> 00:26:37,475
[soft music]

627
00:26:37,475 --> 00:26:40,061
Well, then we don't
have much time.

628
00:26:40,061 --> 00:26:41,813
And I want you to
know that I love you,

629
00:26:41,813 --> 00:26:43,189
and I have always loved you.

630
00:26:43,189 --> 00:26:46,359
And I don't want to be the
thing that's holding you back.

631
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,654
The greatest gift that you can
give me is to live your life

632
00:26:49,654 --> 00:26:52,073
and find a little happiness.

633
00:26:55,326 --> 00:27:02,041
Now, he's a little stiff.

634
00:27:02,041 --> 00:27:04,418
But you could do worse.

635
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,592
Merry Christmas, Charlie.

636
00:27:11,592 --> 00:27:12,593
Merry Christmas.

637
00:27:12,593 --> 00:27:15,847
[light music]

638
00:27:47,503 --> 00:27:51,257
[inquisitive music]

639
00:28:02,310 --> 00:28:05,605
[light, bright music]

640
00:28:06,647 --> 00:28:08,774
Lucy, I hope you
can join us tonight

641
00:28:08,774 --> 00:28:09,901
for the gift-giving event.

642
00:28:09,901 --> 00:28:11,861
It's been a tradition
here since 1895.

643
00:28:11,861 --> 00:28:14,697
Did you know on the first
Christmas Biltmore opened

644
00:28:14,697 --> 00:28:16,741
its doors, it was to
the employees' families

645
00:28:16,741 --> 00:28:19,368
in the spirit of
generosity, gratitude?

646
00:28:19,368 --> 00:28:23,706
And there was a handpicked gift
under the tree for each child

647
00:28:23,706 --> 00:28:24,749
and staff member.

648
00:28:24,749 --> 00:28:26,292
That's a lovely tradition.

649
00:28:26,292 --> 00:28:27,168
Yes, it is.

650
00:28:27,168 --> 00:28:28,628
Did you also know
that the hourglass

651
00:28:28,628 --> 00:28:31,214
was gifted to the Biltmore
collection that very same

652
00:28:31,214 --> 00:28:32,006
Christmas?

653
00:28:32,006 --> 00:28:32,798
Yes.

654
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:35,509
Speaking of that
hourglass, you mentioned

655
00:28:35,509 --> 00:28:37,428
that you had other
props and costumes

656
00:28:37,428 --> 00:28:38,638
from the movie in storage.

657
00:28:38,638 --> 00:28:40,681
There's not enough room
to put them all out.

658
00:28:40,681 --> 00:28:41,307
Right.

659
00:28:41,307 --> 00:28:42,808
Could I possibly take a
look at some of those?

660
00:28:42,808 --> 00:28:45,144
I'm not sure it's
worth your while.

661
00:28:45,144 --> 00:28:47,313
It's mostly extras'
costumes, and they've

662
00:28:47,313 --> 00:28:48,689
been in mothballs for years.

663
00:28:48,689 --> 00:28:49,482
Please.

664
00:28:49,482 --> 00:28:50,691
Sure.
Come on.

665
00:28:50,691 --> 00:28:51,442
OK.

666
00:28:51,442 --> 00:28:53,736
[slinking music]

667
00:28:53,736 --> 00:28:57,448
[light string music]

668
00:28:59,742 --> 00:29:03,454
[playful music]

669
00:29:04,914 --> 00:29:05,790
OK.

670
00:29:12,463 --> 00:29:13,923
Ah.

671
00:29:13,923 --> 00:29:15,508
I'll pay you back.

672
00:29:15,508 --> 00:29:16,717
Scout's honor.

673
00:29:18,970 --> 00:29:22,723
You know, I knew that outfit
you were wearing last night

674
00:29:22,723 --> 00:29:23,724
looked familiar.

675
00:29:23,724 --> 00:29:27,270
And then I remembered
where I saw it.

676
00:29:27,270 --> 00:29:28,980
It was on the tour.

677
00:29:28,980 --> 00:29:30,273
But here's the funny part.

678
00:29:30,273 --> 00:29:33,484
It was still there this
morning on display.

679
00:29:33,484 --> 00:29:37,655
You appeared out
of thin air wearing

680
00:29:37,655 --> 00:29:39,699
clothes from another time.

681
00:29:39,699 --> 00:29:42,368
There can only be
one explanation.

682
00:29:42,368 --> 00:29:44,787
[tense music]

683
00:29:44,787 --> 00:29:46,330
You're a ghost.

684
00:29:46,330 --> 00:29:47,248
I'm not a ghost.

685
00:29:47,248 --> 00:29:49,041
And you're trapped
here at Christmas

686
00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:50,293
with unfinished business.

687
00:29:50,293 --> 00:29:53,754
I'm literally holding
something in my hand.

688
00:29:53,754 --> 00:29:54,714
I can help.

689
00:29:54,714 --> 00:29:57,633
If you need to get a
grave message to a loved

690
00:29:57,633 --> 00:30:00,636
one or right some wrong--

691
00:30:00,636 --> 00:30:03,806
I went back in time to 1947.

692
00:30:03,806 --> 00:30:04,765
What?

693
00:30:04,765 --> 00:30:06,600
They were filming
His Merry Wife! here,

694
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,019
and then the costumer
thought that I

695
00:30:08,019 --> 00:30:09,603
was the actress playing
the candy cane girl,

696
00:30:09,603 --> 00:30:10,896
so they put me in that outfit.

697
00:30:10,896 --> 00:30:12,773
But then I came back.

698
00:30:12,773 --> 00:30:15,192
And it was really weird.

699
00:30:15,192 --> 00:30:16,319
Oh.
I know.

700
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:17,069
I know.
Hold on.

701
00:30:17,069 --> 00:30:18,779
Here.
You all right?

702
00:30:21,657 --> 00:30:23,701
How long were you there?

703
00:30:25,745 --> 00:30:26,954
The first time, I think I--

704
00:30:26,954 --> 00:30:27,872
The first time?

705
00:30:27,872 --> 00:30:29,832
You went back more than once?

706
00:30:29,832 --> 00:30:30,750
Yes.

707
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:31,959
Well, I had to make
sure I wasn't crazy.

708
00:30:31,959 --> 00:30:34,628
[laughs] Still haven't arrived
at an answer, honestly.

709
00:30:34,628 --> 00:30:37,673
Is that why you're looking
through the old wardrobes?

710
00:30:37,673 --> 00:30:39,091
Are you planning to go back?

711
00:30:39,091 --> 00:30:41,677
Yeah, I got something
I got to do.

712
00:30:41,677 --> 00:30:43,262
This is unbelievable, right?

713
00:30:43,262 --> 00:30:44,388
How did this even happen?

714
00:30:44,388 --> 00:30:46,807
The hourglass was sitting
there, I turned it over,

715
00:30:46,807 --> 00:30:47,808
and it brought me here.

716
00:30:47,808 --> 00:30:48,934
I mean there but here.

717
00:30:48,934 --> 00:30:50,853
Before I knew it,
I was just standing

718
00:30:50,853 --> 00:30:53,939
there talking to Jack Huston.

719
00:30:53,939 --> 00:30:57,526
[gasps] Is he just as
charming in real life?

720
00:30:57,526 --> 00:31:00,821
[laughs] He's kind
of pushy, actually.

721
00:31:00,821 --> 00:31:01,864
Oh.

722
00:31:01,864 --> 00:31:02,698
Oh.

723
00:31:02,698 --> 00:31:03,532
Oh, I understand.

724
00:31:03,532 --> 00:31:06,035
You're going back for him.

725
00:31:06,035 --> 00:31:07,203
Oh, no, no, no, no.

726
00:31:07,203 --> 00:31:09,622
Oh, that is just about
the most romantic

727
00:31:09,622 --> 00:31:10,664
thing I have ever heard.

728
00:31:10,664 --> 00:31:13,417
No, I promise I'm not
going back for anyone.

729
00:31:13,417 --> 00:31:17,546
So if you're not going
back for Jack Huston,

730
00:31:17,546 --> 00:31:20,383
then what are you
going back for?

731
00:31:20,383 --> 00:31:22,551
[soft music]

732
00:31:22,551 --> 00:31:24,095
I can't believe
you didn't tell me

733
00:31:24,095 --> 00:31:27,890
you were writing the
remake of His Merry Wife!

734
00:31:27,890 --> 00:31:29,475
Who's going to play Charlie?

735
00:31:29,475 --> 00:31:31,852
Oh, you should ask
that Ryan Reynolds.

736
00:31:31,852 --> 00:31:33,187
I mean, he would be perfect.

737
00:31:33,187 --> 00:31:37,191
He's got just the right
amount of charisma.

738
00:31:37,858 --> 00:31:39,944
What, what does any
of this have to do

739
00:31:39,944 --> 00:31:41,529
with you going back in time?

740
00:31:41,529 --> 00:31:44,323
Well, I have to find out what
was in that original ending

741
00:31:44,323 --> 00:31:46,075
and why they changed it.

742
00:31:48,911 --> 00:31:49,829
["HARK!

743
00:31:49,829 --> 00:31:52,498
THE HERALD ANGELS SING" PLAYING]

744
00:31:56,836 --> 00:32:00,881
(SINGING) Hark, the
Herald angels sing,

745
00:32:00,881 --> 00:32:04,093
glory to the newborn king.

746
00:32:04,093 --> 00:32:11,892
Peace on Earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.

747
00:32:11,892 --> 00:32:15,688
Joyful all ye nations rise.

748
00:32:15,688 --> 00:32:18,774
Join the triumph of the skies.

749
00:32:18,774 --> 00:32:27,533
Hark, the herald angels sing,
glory to the newborn king.

750
00:32:31,954 --> 00:32:33,956
You look great.

751
00:32:33,956 --> 00:32:35,458
What are you doing here?

752
00:32:35,458 --> 00:32:37,042
I'm your backup.

753
00:32:37,042 --> 00:32:37,960
My backup?

754
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,837
Well, I just thought
that in case something

755
00:32:39,837 --> 00:32:42,923
goes wrong on this end,
you might need somebody.

756
00:32:42,923 --> 00:32:44,175
Oh, no, that's OK.

757
00:32:44,175 --> 00:32:45,885
It's your Christmas vacation.

758
00:32:45,885 --> 00:32:47,511
You should go enjoy it.

759
00:32:47,511 --> 00:32:48,721
Are you kidding?

760
00:32:48,721 --> 00:32:51,640
This is the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to me.

761
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,141
OK.

762
00:32:52,141 --> 00:32:53,225
So how's this work?

763
00:32:53,225 --> 00:32:56,395
So when I turned the
hourglass the first time,

764
00:32:56,395 --> 00:32:59,565
there were only a few minutes of
sand left, which is why I think

765
00:32:59,565 --> 00:33:00,733
my first trip was so short.

766
00:33:00,733 --> 00:33:04,195
But the second time,
I got the full hour.

767
00:33:04,195 --> 00:33:06,864
So you'll only be gone an hour.

768
00:33:06,864 --> 00:33:09,074
Barring any unforeseen
circumstances.

769
00:33:09,074 --> 00:33:11,118
Are you sure this
is a good idea?

770
00:33:11,118 --> 00:33:13,871
I mean, what if you change
something in the past?

771
00:33:13,871 --> 00:33:15,372
Won't that affect the future?

772
00:33:15,372 --> 00:33:16,832
It's going to be fine.

773
00:33:16,832 --> 00:33:18,375
What if somebody suspects you?

774
00:33:18,375 --> 00:33:20,419
Well, I've seen His Girl
Friday like a dozen times.

775
00:33:20,419 --> 00:33:23,380
I think if I just throw in a
buster here and a fella there,

776
00:33:23,380 --> 00:33:24,507
I'll blend right in.

777
00:33:24,507 --> 00:33:25,299
OK.

778
00:33:25,299 --> 00:33:26,967
OK.

779
00:33:26,967 --> 00:33:29,553
Lucy?

780
00:33:29,553 --> 00:33:31,972
Good luck.

781
00:33:31,972 --> 00:33:34,308
And say hey to Jack for me.

782
00:33:37,019 --> 00:33:39,730
[soft foreboding music]

783
00:33:39,730 --> 00:33:42,942
[sand trickling]

784
00:33:47,029 --> 00:33:50,407

787
00:34:06,006 --> 00:34:08,634
[excited screaming]

788
00:34:08,634 --> 00:34:09,552
Not today, ladies.

789
00:34:09,552 --> 00:34:10,636
Not today.

790
00:34:10,636 --> 00:34:12,221
Not before coffee.

791
00:34:12,221 --> 00:34:13,681
Well, hiya, girls.

792
00:34:13,681 --> 00:34:15,015
I'll sign it for if you want.

793
00:34:15,015 --> 00:34:16,225
I'm in the picture, too.

794
00:34:16,225 --> 00:34:18,143
The name is Jack Huston.

795
00:34:18,143 --> 00:34:19,019
Here.

796
00:34:19,019 --> 00:34:20,354
There you are.

797
00:34:20,354 --> 00:34:21,105
Ah.

798
00:34:21,105 --> 00:34:23,482
Mr. West, got an
idea for you, sir.

799
00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:29,822
And then get this, he gives up
his wings because he loves her.

800
00:34:29,822 --> 00:34:30,447
What do you think?

801
00:34:30,447 --> 00:34:32,157
I think he should stick
to saying the lines

802
00:34:32,157 --> 00:34:33,158
and not writing them.

803
00:34:33,158 --> 00:34:36,203
[chuckles humorlessly]
But you'll consider it?

804
00:34:36,203 --> 00:34:38,163
[whistling]

805
00:34:38,163 --> 00:34:41,458

806
00:34:45,504 --> 00:34:49,300
[soft downbeat music]

807
00:35:02,605 --> 00:35:04,064
Ms Bullock?

808
00:35:04,064 --> 00:35:05,858
Ms. Bullock.

809
00:35:05,858 --> 00:35:06,483
Oh.

810
00:35:06,483 --> 00:35:07,610
Now, you listen here.

811
00:35:07,610 --> 00:35:08,819
You can't just
march up on a dame

812
00:35:08,819 --> 00:35:13,073
and give her the
what for, buster.

813
00:35:13,073 --> 00:35:15,284
Hey.

814
00:35:15,284 --> 00:35:16,118
Excuse me.

815
00:35:16,118 --> 00:35:17,119
Let go of me.

816
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:18,120
I am not a piece of luggage.

817
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,164
No, you're absolutely right.
Luggage comes with a tag.

818
00:35:20,164 --> 00:35:21,582
It lets you know
where it came from.

819
00:35:21,582 --> 00:35:22,750
Who are you?
Where are you from?

820
00:35:22,750 --> 00:35:25,169
We called central casting,
and no one knows who you are.

821
00:35:25,169 --> 00:35:27,087
Are you even Sandra Bullock?

822
00:35:27,087 --> 00:35:28,255
I'm Lucy Hardgrove.

823
00:35:28,255 --> 00:35:36,096
And you may not believe this,
but I'm from the studio.

824
00:35:36,096 --> 00:35:37,056
Studio?

825
00:35:37,056 --> 00:35:37,973
You don't say.

826
00:35:37,973 --> 00:35:38,932
Yes.

827
00:35:38,932 --> 00:35:43,395
Well, Mr. Balaban, he heard
about all the discord on set.

828
00:35:43,395 --> 00:35:45,189
He sent me to keep
an eye on things.

829
00:35:45,189 --> 00:35:46,106
Really?
Yes.

830
00:35:46,106 --> 00:35:48,025
He's a very busy man.

831
00:35:48,025 --> 00:35:49,318
Prove it.

832
00:35:49,318 --> 00:35:51,278
Oh, you took a bit part
in Meet Me in Poughkeepsie

833
00:35:51,278 --> 00:35:53,530
so that you could audition for
this part and get on the lot.

834
00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:57,284
[laughs] Do you know I camped
in front of that parking spot

835
00:35:57,284 --> 00:35:58,952
for three days?

836
00:35:58,952 --> 00:36:00,412
How did you know that?

837
00:36:00,412 --> 00:36:02,373
Well, I told you,
Mr. Balaban sent me.

838
00:36:02,373 --> 00:36:05,167
All right, well, obviously,
this is a misunderstanding.

839
00:36:05,167 --> 00:36:07,795
I apologize, Ms.
Hardgrove, and I hope

840
00:36:07,795 --> 00:36:09,171
there are no hard feelings.

841
00:36:09,171 --> 00:36:10,172
[chuckles]

842
00:36:10,172 --> 00:36:12,925
[chuckles] Of course not.

843
00:36:12,925 --> 00:36:16,095
[soft playful music]

844
00:36:20,766 --> 00:36:23,727
[soft foreboding music]

845
00:36:23,727 --> 00:36:27,398
[light music]

846
00:36:30,067 --> 00:36:33,570
He really doesn't
give up his wings.

847
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:34,530
Ms. Hardgrove.

848
00:36:34,530 --> 00:36:38,242
[laughs] I just want
to introduce myself.

849
00:36:38,242 --> 00:36:39,785
Claude Lancaster.
I know.

850
00:36:39,785 --> 00:36:40,911
I'm such a fan.

851
00:36:40,911 --> 00:36:42,538
I just loved you in Mr.
Grayson Takes a Vacation.

852
00:36:42,538 --> 00:36:44,581
Oh, well, I have to
say, I've heard nothing

853
00:36:44,581 --> 00:36:48,752
but wonderful things about you.

854
00:36:48,752 --> 00:36:49,712
From whom?

855
00:36:49,712 --> 00:36:50,921
Well, Harold Balaban.

856
00:36:50,921 --> 00:36:54,258
I'm so pleased that he's
responded to my concerns.

857
00:36:54,258 --> 00:36:57,302
There's still time
to replace her.

858
00:36:57,302 --> 00:36:58,262
Replace her?

859
00:36:58,262 --> 00:36:59,805
Yes, it pains me
to even suggest it,

860
00:36:59,805 --> 00:37:03,267
but Hayward's last
three films were flops.

861
00:37:03,267 --> 00:37:04,518
She'll sink us.

862
00:37:04,518 --> 00:37:06,270
But don't you worry
your pretty little head.

863
00:37:06,270 --> 00:37:08,605
I have got some ideas
for who we might get.

864
00:37:08,605 --> 00:37:09,648
[laughs humorlessly]

865
00:37:09,648 --> 00:37:13,235
Took the liberty of
jotting the names down.

866
00:37:13,235 --> 00:37:18,240
And Mr. Balaban is
on board with this?

867
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:21,243
I thought that's
why you were here.

868
00:37:21,243 --> 00:37:22,244
Just testing you.

869
00:37:22,244 --> 00:37:23,620
[chuckling]

870
00:37:23,620 --> 00:37:26,915
[soft, light music]

871
00:37:31,211 --> 00:37:32,171
Ava.

872
00:37:35,048 --> 00:37:39,219
You don't think they would
shut us down, do you?

873
00:37:39,219 --> 00:37:40,345
There'd be no reason.

874
00:37:40,345 --> 00:37:42,389
Besides the fact that
we're behind schedule

875
00:37:42,389 --> 00:37:43,348
and over budget?

876
00:37:43,348 --> 00:37:45,768
[chuckles softly]
Yeah, besides that.

877
00:37:45,768 --> 00:37:46,560
Then no.

878
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:47,311
None at all.

879
00:37:47,311 --> 00:37:50,647
[dramatic music]

880
00:37:56,278 --> 00:38:00,199
[tense string music]

881
00:38:05,162 --> 00:38:06,246
Shoot.

882
00:38:07,706 --> 00:38:09,291
Hiya.
There you are.

883
00:38:09,291 --> 00:38:10,292
[glass shatters]

884
00:38:10,292 --> 00:38:11,502
Oh.

885
00:38:11,502 --> 00:38:12,252
No.

886
00:38:12,252 --> 00:38:13,587
No, no, no, no.

887
00:38:13,587 --> 00:38:15,005
[gasps]

888
00:38:15,005 --> 00:38:15,839
It's OK.

889
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:16,715
I'll take the blame.

890
00:38:16,715 --> 00:38:19,384
I'll say it's my fault. It's OK.

891
00:38:19,384 --> 00:38:21,261
Get this cleaned up.

892
00:38:21,261 --> 00:38:25,182
[heavy music]

893
00:38:27,267 --> 00:38:31,063
[foreboding music]

894
00:38:53,126 --> 00:38:57,047
What in the world?

895
00:38:57,297 --> 00:38:58,298
Ah.

896
00:38:58,298 --> 00:39:01,301
[vibrates lips] Ma.

897
00:39:01,301 --> 00:39:02,302
[clears throat]

898
00:39:02,302 --> 00:39:03,554
Buzz off, McGee.

899
00:39:03,554 --> 00:39:05,889
I know what you're doing.

900
00:39:05,889 --> 00:39:06,640
Reading the funny pages?

901
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,100
You've been sending
word to Mr. Balaban

902
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:10,811
that there's trouble on set,
trying to muscle me out.

903
00:39:10,811 --> 00:39:14,273
Well, that's a one-way
ticket to the naughty list.

904
00:39:14,273 --> 00:39:16,650
Paranoia is an ugly
look on you, Ava.

905
00:39:16,650 --> 00:39:17,526
Yeah?

906
00:39:17,526 --> 00:39:20,571
Well, that suit's not
exactly doing you any favors.

907
00:39:20,571 --> 00:39:22,239
That's some crack.

908
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:23,532
Yeah, but can you fix it?

909
00:39:23,532 --> 00:39:24,950
Not sure.

910
00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:26,702
I need that hourglass.

911
00:39:26,702 --> 00:39:28,370
For the movie-- picture.

912
00:39:28,370 --> 00:39:29,246
I'll do what I can.

913
00:39:29,246 --> 00:39:31,331
I can't make any promises.

914
00:39:37,337 --> 00:39:38,338
There she is.

915
00:39:38,338 --> 00:39:40,340
Well, that was some
spill you took.

916
00:39:40,340 --> 00:39:41,341
Give her some space.

917
00:39:41,341 --> 00:39:44,344
I hope somebody got the
license plate of that bus.

918
00:39:44,344 --> 00:39:45,345
She's concussed.

919
00:39:45,345 --> 00:39:46,471
I'm fine.

920
00:39:46,471 --> 00:39:47,306
Thanks.

921
00:39:47,306 --> 00:39:49,683
Lucy, what year is it?

922
00:39:49,683 --> 00:39:51,101
1947.

923
00:39:51,101 --> 00:39:51,727
Ah.

924
00:39:51,727 --> 00:39:53,478
And who's the president?

925
00:39:53,478 --> 00:39:54,229
Oh.

926
00:39:54,229 --> 00:39:56,064
Mm, yeah, we should
get her to a doctor.

927
00:39:56,064 --> 00:39:57,357
No, no, I know this.

928
00:40:00,402 --> 00:40:01,194
Truman?

929
00:40:01,194 --> 00:40:02,446
That a girl.

930
00:40:02,446 --> 00:40:03,697
Oh, where did he go?
Who?

931
00:40:03,697 --> 00:40:05,741
Oh, the man with the hourglass.
Gus?

932
00:40:05,741 --> 00:40:06,450
Where did he go?

933
00:40:06,450 --> 00:40:09,369
I think he went that way.

934
00:40:09,369 --> 00:40:11,455
Who's your friend,
and what's her hurry?

935
00:40:11,455 --> 00:40:13,040
Well, it's Balaban's girl.

936
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,499
Just flew in from LA.

937
00:40:14,499 --> 00:40:16,168
Strange duck.

938
00:40:18,211 --> 00:40:19,379
Yes, she is.

939
00:40:19,379 --> 00:40:23,342
[light string music]

940
00:40:24,384 --> 00:40:25,385
An angel?

941
00:40:25,385 --> 00:40:27,387
Well, now that depends
on you, my friend.

942
00:40:27,387 --> 00:40:28,388
I am here to help.

943
00:40:28,388 --> 00:40:32,059
Now, what's this about a girl?

944
00:40:32,059 --> 00:40:34,186
We were meant to be married.

945
00:40:34,186 --> 00:40:35,187
I fouled it up.

946
00:40:35,187 --> 00:40:37,147
I'd need a miracle to
make things right again.

947
00:40:37,147 --> 00:40:39,358
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

948
00:40:39,358 --> 00:40:41,902
and there's a miracle
around every corner, pal.

949
00:40:41,902 --> 00:40:42,903
[chuckles]

950
00:40:43,445 --> 00:40:45,030
Now where is this girl?

951
00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:46,865
There she is.

952
00:40:52,537 --> 00:40:54,915
Rebecca.

953
00:40:54,915 --> 00:40:56,333
And cut.

954
00:40:56,333 --> 00:40:57,167
We good?

955
00:40:57,167 --> 00:40:59,836
It's North Carolina,
not the North Pole.

956
00:41:01,171 --> 00:41:02,381
Gus?
Yeah.

957
00:41:02,381 --> 00:41:03,173
He left.

958
00:41:03,173 --> 00:41:03,757
He left?

959
00:41:03,757 --> 00:41:05,133
Is he coming back today?

960
00:41:05,133 --> 00:41:05,425
No.

961
00:41:05,425 --> 00:41:08,011
Said he needed to take the
hourglass off site after you

962
00:41:08,011 --> 00:41:09,429
cracked that thing like an egg.

963
00:41:09,429 --> 00:41:12,099
[sighs] OK.

964
00:41:12,099 --> 00:41:14,059
When is the call time tomorrow?

965
00:41:14,059 --> 00:41:15,018
It's Christmas Eve.

966
00:41:15,018 --> 00:41:16,436
We're off.

967
00:41:16,436 --> 00:41:20,357
But he should be back for
the party tomorrow night.

968
00:41:23,485 --> 00:41:27,030
Ava, how do I look?

969
00:41:27,030 --> 00:41:27,948
Up to something.

970
00:41:27,948 --> 00:41:28,907
Oh, no, no, no.

971
00:41:28,907 --> 00:41:30,409
She's a stranger in
a brand new place.

972
00:41:30,409 --> 00:41:32,911
I just thought she might
enjoy some company for supper.

973
00:41:32,911 --> 00:41:33,412
That's all.

974
00:41:33,412 --> 00:41:35,455
So you can sweet talk her
into a three-picture deal

975
00:41:35,455 --> 00:41:36,289
over martinis?

976
00:41:36,289 --> 00:41:38,500
[laughs] I'm a gentleman, Ava.

977
00:41:38,500 --> 00:41:39,876
I'm going to wait for dessert.

978
00:41:39,876 --> 00:41:41,503
Stop it Jack.

979
00:41:41,503 --> 00:41:42,629
[chuckles]

980
00:41:46,425 --> 00:41:49,428
[light piano music]

981
00:41:54,474 --> 00:41:56,476
Is this seat taken?

982
00:41:56,476 --> 00:41:58,228
I'm expecting someone.

983
00:41:58,228 --> 00:41:59,438
Ah.

984
00:42:06,528 --> 00:42:07,571
[sighs]

985
00:42:09,531 --> 00:42:12,367
What looks good?

986
00:42:12,367 --> 00:42:13,785
Ha, figgy pudding.

987
00:42:13,785 --> 00:42:16,913
Have you ever had figgy pudding?

988
00:42:16,913 --> 00:42:18,540
Once when I was a kid.

989
00:42:18,540 --> 00:42:20,667
What's in it, I wonder?

990
00:42:20,667 --> 00:42:21,043
Figs.

991
00:42:21,043 --> 00:42:23,712
Say, you don't suppose that's
where they got the name,

992
00:42:23,712 --> 00:42:24,880
do you?

993
00:42:26,882 --> 00:42:28,425
Would you care to join me?

994
00:42:28,425 --> 00:42:29,426
Well, if you insist.

995
00:42:29,426 --> 00:42:30,635
Now, you sure he won't mind?
Who?

996
00:42:30,635 --> 00:42:32,512
The gentleman that
you're waiting for.

997
00:42:32,512 --> 00:42:34,347
I'm not waiting for anyone.

998
00:42:34,347 --> 00:42:36,475
Gee, you don't say.

999
00:42:40,854 --> 00:42:47,569
Now, I hope that Mr. Balaban
knows just how grateful

1000
00:42:47,569 --> 00:42:50,030
I am to be in this picture.

1001
00:42:50,030 --> 00:42:51,615
And I want to assure him--

1002
00:42:51,615 --> 00:42:52,574
Thank you.

1003
00:42:52,574 --> 00:42:55,118
And I want to assure him
that a bet on Jack Huston

1004
00:42:55,118 --> 00:42:56,578
is a surefire winner.

1005
00:42:56,578 --> 00:42:58,538
And you'd like me to put
in a good word for you.

1006
00:42:58,538 --> 00:43:00,582
No, I mean, only if
you really mean it.

1007
00:43:00,582 --> 00:43:01,708
I don't think that I need to.

1008
00:43:01,708 --> 00:43:06,713
I think your work really
speaks for itself.

1009
00:43:06,713 --> 00:43:10,550
I mean, a soda is a nickel here.

1010
00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:12,010
It's not where you're from?

1011
00:43:12,010 --> 00:43:12,677
No.

1012
00:43:12,677 --> 00:43:14,930
And where is that exactly?

1013
00:43:14,930 --> 00:43:15,764
Santa Monica.

1014
00:43:15,764 --> 00:43:16,723
Oh, Santa Monica.

1015
00:43:16,723 --> 00:43:18,100
By way of Ohio.

1016
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:18,892
Oh.

1017
00:43:18,892 --> 00:43:21,019
That must be tough
being this far away

1018
00:43:21,019 --> 00:43:22,896
from home at Christmas time.

1019
00:43:22,896 --> 00:43:28,610
Yeah, it's definitely
not what I expected.

1020
00:43:28,610 --> 00:43:31,738
And what would you be
doing if you weren't here?

1021
00:43:31,738 --> 00:43:34,616
My sister and I go
caroling every Christmas.

1022
00:43:34,616 --> 00:43:35,617
It's kind of a tradition.

1023
00:43:35,617 --> 00:43:37,285
We hit every house
in the neighborhood

1024
00:43:37,285 --> 00:43:39,830
until our voices are hoarse.

1025
00:43:39,830 --> 00:43:42,541
Then we drink hot chocolate.

1026
00:43:42,541 --> 00:43:44,960
Now that is something
that I can help with.

1027
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,295
You know a good hot
chocolate joint around here?

1028
00:43:47,295 --> 00:43:49,631
I know a great hot
chocolate joint.

1029
00:43:49,631 --> 00:43:50,549
All right.

1030
00:43:50,549 --> 00:43:51,591
I'm not hungry, anyway.

1031
00:43:51,591 --> 00:43:52,217
Let's go.

1032
00:43:52,217 --> 00:43:55,554
[light festive music]

1033
00:44:06,189 --> 00:44:07,858
Well, what about you?

1034
00:44:07,858 --> 00:44:09,818
Any Christmas traditions?

1035
00:44:09,818 --> 00:44:13,613
Well, we didn't have a
lot when I was growing up.

1036
00:44:13,613 --> 00:44:15,615
But my father, who
worked at a factory,

1037
00:44:15,615 --> 00:44:18,493
made sure that he'd always saved
enough money to take my mother

1038
00:44:18,493 --> 00:44:21,663
and I to a nickelodeon on
Christmas Day every year.

1039
00:44:21,663 --> 00:44:22,873
And my mother
would always insist

1040
00:44:22,873 --> 00:44:25,667
that I choose the picture,
and I always chose a comedy

1041
00:44:25,667 --> 00:44:27,919
because they were her favorite.

1042
00:44:27,919 --> 00:44:31,715
And I would sit in
that dark theater,

1043
00:44:31,715 --> 00:44:36,094
light dancing in her
eyes, watching her laugh.

1044
00:44:36,094 --> 00:44:38,513
And that was the
best Christmas gift.

1045
00:44:38,513 --> 00:44:40,640
Is that why you wanted
to become an actor?

1046
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,225
It sure is, yeah.

1047
00:44:42,225 --> 00:44:44,019
I started out as a stunt man.

1048
00:44:44,019 --> 00:44:48,607
I had a job on a cowboy
picture called Wagons West.

1049
00:44:48,607 --> 00:44:52,110
And the actor got bucked off
the pony, and I fit the chaps.

1050
00:44:52,110 --> 00:44:53,028
I got a promotion.

1051
00:44:53,028 --> 00:44:57,699
I got two lines, which
I still remember.

1052
00:44:57,699 --> 00:44:59,743
"He ain't lying, sheriff.

1053
00:44:59,743 --> 00:45:02,454
The horse belongs
to Billy the Kid."

1054
00:45:02,454 --> 00:45:05,457
[laughs] That was you?

1055
00:45:05,457 --> 00:45:06,666
So you've seen it?

1056
00:45:06,666 --> 00:45:07,667
Yes, I've seen it.

1057
00:45:07,667 --> 00:45:09,836
I watch a ton of Turner Classic
Movies and the Criterion

1058
00:45:09,836 --> 00:45:11,421
Collection and--

1059
00:45:11,421 --> 00:45:12,547
You lost me, bright eyes.

1060
00:45:12,547 --> 00:45:15,884
I'll need a map to
find my way back.

1061
00:45:15,884 --> 00:45:19,721
That's always been my dream,
to be up on that silver screen,

1062
00:45:19,721 --> 00:45:21,556
to see my name in lights.

1063
00:45:21,556 --> 00:45:22,224
Mm.

1064
00:45:22,224 --> 00:45:25,143
Yeah, really make your
mark in the world.

1065
00:45:25,143 --> 00:45:26,269
Yeah.

1066
00:45:26,269 --> 00:45:29,147
So I hope your boss can
find it in his heart to keep

1067
00:45:29,147 --> 00:45:30,315
this movie up and running.

1068
00:45:30,315 --> 00:45:32,525
I've got a very good feeling
about this little picture.

1069
00:45:32,525 --> 00:45:35,820
I think it's going
to be the one.

1070
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:36,947
Mm.

1071
00:45:36,947 --> 00:45:43,161
Now, who are you really?

1072
00:45:43,161 --> 00:45:43,745
What do you mean?

1073
00:45:43,745 --> 00:45:46,539
Well, nobody hoofs it all the
way from Ohio to Hollywood

1074
00:45:46,539 --> 00:45:47,749
to sit behind a desk.

1075
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,920
No, no, let me guess.

1076
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,004
You're not an actress.

1077
00:45:53,004 --> 00:45:54,047
[laughs] No.

1078
00:45:54,047 --> 00:45:56,424
Singer?

1079
00:45:56,424 --> 00:45:57,634
Ah.

1080
00:45:57,634 --> 00:46:00,095
You're a writer.

1081
00:46:00,095 --> 00:46:01,137
How did you know that?

1082
00:46:01,137 --> 00:46:01,888
Yeah, lucky guess.

1083
00:46:01,888 --> 00:46:02,722
How did you know that?

1084
00:46:02,722 --> 00:46:03,723
It's lucky guess, Lucy.

1085
00:46:03,723 --> 00:46:05,600
Now tell me your story.

1086
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:06,518
Uh.

1087
00:46:08,395 --> 00:46:11,731
Well, I'm not sure there's too
much I can say about myself.

1088
00:46:11,731 --> 00:46:13,441
Well, hold on now,
that's not fair.

1089
00:46:13,441 --> 00:46:14,734
I just told you my sad story.

1090
00:46:14,734 --> 00:46:16,528
You got to tell me something.

1091
00:46:16,528 --> 00:46:17,487
Start at the beginning.

1092
00:46:17,487 --> 00:46:18,780
What's your favorite color?
Green.

1093
00:46:18,780 --> 00:46:20,782
Green.
What's your favorite number?

1094
00:46:20,782 --> 00:46:21,783
17 and 1/2.

1095
00:46:21,783 --> 00:46:23,159
What's your picture?

1096
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:23,910
Wagons West.

1097
00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:26,371
[laughs]

1098
00:46:26,371 --> 00:46:29,332
[gentle music]

1099
00:46:29,332 --> 00:46:33,336
We had a poinsettia on
our table every Christmas.

1100
00:46:33,336 --> 00:46:35,505
My mother was a seamstress
for the mayor's wife,

1101
00:46:35,505 --> 00:46:37,757
and she would gift us one
every season because she

1102
00:46:37,757 --> 00:46:39,801
said it wasn't really
Christmas until

1103
00:46:39,801 --> 00:46:41,761
you had your "poin-settia."

1104
00:46:41,761 --> 00:46:44,097
Are you still close
with your folks?

1105
00:46:44,097 --> 00:46:44,848
No.

1106
00:46:44,848 --> 00:46:46,766
I've been an orphan
for a long time.

1107
00:46:46,766 --> 00:46:48,727
They both passed.

1108
00:46:48,727 --> 00:46:49,686
Sorry.

1109
00:46:49,686 --> 00:46:51,896
My mother actually
left when I was little.

1110
00:46:51,896 --> 00:46:58,403
So it's just been my dad
and my sister and me.

1111
00:46:58,403 --> 00:46:59,696
I'm so sorry.

1112
00:46:59,696 --> 00:47:00,572
Oh, it's OK.

1113
00:47:00,572 --> 00:47:01,281
Thank you.

1114
00:47:01,281 --> 00:47:03,408
But I learned a valuable lesson.

1115
00:47:03,408 --> 00:47:05,869
If you put your faith in
people, eventually they're

1116
00:47:05,869 --> 00:47:06,953
going to break your heart.

1117
00:47:06,953 --> 00:47:09,581
So you have to protect yourself.

1118
00:47:09,581 --> 00:47:11,708
You know?

1119
00:47:11,708 --> 00:47:12,834
I've been giving
a lot of thought

1120
00:47:12,834 --> 00:47:17,464
to your idea about Charlie
giving up his wings for love.

1121
00:47:17,464 --> 00:47:18,965
And I think that he would.

1122
00:47:21,801 --> 00:47:23,345
Would you?

1123
00:47:23,345 --> 00:47:24,346
What?

1124
00:47:24,346 --> 00:47:26,806
Would you really give
up what you wanted

1125
00:47:26,806 --> 00:47:29,601
more than anything
else in the world

1126
00:47:29,601 --> 00:47:31,603
for someone else's happiness?

1127
00:47:34,022 --> 00:47:35,440
I don't know.

1128
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:43,656
But I hope that one day, I love
someone enough to find out.

1129
00:47:43,656 --> 00:47:46,785
[gentle music]

1130
00:47:48,244 --> 00:47:50,538
Detective pictures.

1131
00:47:50,538 --> 00:47:51,331
What?

1132
00:47:51,331 --> 00:47:52,874
What you write,
you write detective

1133
00:47:52,874 --> 00:47:53,958
pictures like Dorothy Parker.

1134
00:47:53,958 --> 00:47:55,585
[laughs] What
makes you say that?

1135
00:47:55,585 --> 00:47:56,836
Well, I mean, you
don't strike me

1136
00:47:56,836 --> 00:47:59,172
as the sword and
sandals type, and you're

1137
00:47:59,172 --> 00:48:01,007
a little down on romance.

1138
00:48:01,007 --> 00:48:02,300
I am-- what--

1139
00:48:02,300 --> 00:48:04,260
I am not down on romance.

1140
00:48:04,260 --> 00:48:08,973
I just want to write something
that's real and meaningful.

1141
00:48:08,973 --> 00:48:10,225
Mm.

1142
00:48:10,225 --> 00:48:13,478
Can't get any more meaningful
than two lonely hearts

1143
00:48:13,478 --> 00:48:17,565
finding a little slice of
happiness in this crazy world.

1144
00:48:17,565 --> 00:48:19,859
Give a little hope
to us poor saps.

1145
00:48:19,859 --> 00:48:24,906
As my friend Jimmy likes
to say, "The best movies,

1146
00:48:24,906 --> 00:48:26,282
they inspire us.

1147
00:48:26,282 --> 00:48:30,912
They show us what we could be,
appeal to our better angels."

1148
00:48:30,912 --> 00:48:33,706
[laughs] That's very good.

1149
00:48:33,706 --> 00:48:34,457
Thank you.

1150
00:48:34,457 --> 00:48:34,916
Yes.

1151
00:48:34,916 --> 00:48:36,876
I don't write
detective pictures.

1152
00:48:36,876 --> 00:48:37,544
Oh, oof.

1153
00:48:37,544 --> 00:48:40,422
Usually, I am very good at this.

1154
00:48:40,422 --> 00:48:41,631
Hold on.

1155
00:48:41,631 --> 00:48:43,800
Let me see.

1156
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,802
[whistles]

1157
00:48:46,136 --> 00:48:47,804
You're an early riser.

1158
00:48:47,804 --> 00:48:48,638
Night owl.

1159
00:48:48,638 --> 00:48:51,349
Mmm.

1160
00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:52,684
Ah.

1161
00:48:52,684 --> 00:48:53,768
You prefer dogs to cats

1162
00:48:53,768 --> 00:48:54,644
Meow, meow.

1163
00:48:54,644 --> 00:48:56,438
You like your coffee
with cream and sugar.

1164
00:48:56,438 --> 00:48:57,188
Black.

1165
00:48:57,188 --> 00:48:58,231
Mmm.

1166
00:48:58,231 --> 00:49:00,859
You arrived at parties
late and you leave early.

1167
00:49:00,859 --> 00:49:01,901
Now that I do.

1168
00:49:01,901 --> 00:49:03,069
Me too.

1169
00:49:03,069 --> 00:49:05,780
See?

1170
00:49:05,780 --> 00:49:06,739
Give me your hand.

1171
00:49:06,739 --> 00:49:07,740
Oh, gosh.

1172
00:49:07,740 --> 00:49:08,658
I forgot.

1173
00:49:08,658 --> 00:49:09,951
OK.

1174
00:49:09,951 --> 00:49:11,369
High five.

1175
00:49:11,369 --> 00:49:12,954
It's like good job.

1176
00:49:12,954 --> 00:49:13,872
Come on, try.

1177
00:49:13,872 --> 00:49:15,832
High five.

1178
00:49:15,832 --> 00:49:18,334
Yeah, it's something
we do where I'm from.

1179
00:49:18,334 --> 00:49:19,919
Santa Monica.

1180
00:49:19,919 --> 00:49:21,212
By way of Ohio.

1181
00:49:21,212 --> 00:49:22,005
Huh.

1182
00:49:22,005 --> 00:49:25,300
[gentle music]

1183
00:49:31,931 --> 00:49:34,309
[inquisitive music]

1184
00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:36,811
Oh, Ms. Majors.

1185
00:49:36,811 --> 00:49:37,395
Yes?

1186
00:49:37,395 --> 00:49:38,813
Have you seen this Hardgrove?

1187
00:49:38,813 --> 00:49:39,481
What?

1188
00:49:39,481 --> 00:49:40,356
No.
Why?

1189
00:49:40,356 --> 00:49:41,900
Well, she mentioned
she wanted to take

1190
00:49:41,900 --> 00:49:43,943
some additional reference
photos of the hourglass.

1191
00:49:43,943 --> 00:49:46,321
I thought I'd give her a
chance before it's gone.

1192
00:49:46,321 --> 00:49:47,530
Gone?

1193
00:49:47,530 --> 00:49:47,906
Where?

1194
00:49:47,906 --> 00:49:50,617
It's going to be picked up by
the Smithsonian curator right

1195
00:49:50,617 --> 00:49:51,784
after the holiday party.

1196
00:49:51,784 --> 00:49:52,952
Tomorrow night?

1197
00:49:52,952 --> 00:49:54,078
Yeah.

1198
00:49:54,078 --> 00:49:56,331
So if you see her,
you'll tell her?

1199
00:49:56,331 --> 00:49:57,040
Mm-hmm.

1200
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:57,999
Thanks.

1201
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,003
[sighs]

1202
00:50:03,796 --> 00:50:07,425
[light festive music]

1203
00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:12,680
Well, thank you for the hot
chocolate and the company.

1204
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:13,598
See?

1205
00:50:13,598 --> 00:50:17,185
I'm not half bad if you don't
race off mid conversation.

1206
00:50:17,185 --> 00:50:20,980
Well, good night.

1207
00:50:20,980 --> 00:50:23,316
Well, no, I'm going to
walk you to your room.

1208
00:50:23,316 --> 00:50:24,692
Oh, oh.

1209
00:50:24,692 --> 00:50:26,194
No, that won't be necessary.

1210
00:50:26,194 --> 00:50:27,195
I insist.

1211
00:50:27,195 --> 00:50:30,532
[soft, light music]

1212
00:50:30,532 --> 00:50:31,449
Uh.

1213
00:50:39,749 --> 00:50:42,460
Oh, well, this is-- this is me.

1214
00:50:42,460 --> 00:50:44,087
Huh.

1215
00:50:44,087 --> 00:50:45,964
Are you sure?

1216
00:50:45,964 --> 00:50:46,673
Sure.

1217
00:50:46,673 --> 00:50:48,007
And you're sure you're sure?

1218
00:50:48,007 --> 00:50:49,133
I'm sure I'm sure.

1219
00:50:49,133 --> 00:50:53,680
That's funny because
359, that's mine.

1220
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,389
Oh, three.

1221
00:50:54,389 --> 00:50:55,390
Oh, does that say three?

1222
00:50:55,390 --> 00:50:58,434
Um, I'm one floor up.

1223
00:50:58,434 --> 00:51:01,896
So I guess I'm walking
you to your door.

1224
00:51:01,896 --> 00:51:07,068
[laughs] You're a little
screwy, aren't you?

1225
00:51:07,068 --> 00:51:09,696
Honey, you have no idea.

1226
00:51:09,696 --> 00:51:10,822
Good night, Lucy.

1227
00:51:10,822 --> 00:51:13,950
Good night.

1228
00:51:13,950 --> 00:51:15,034
I'm sorry.

1229
00:51:21,291 --> 00:51:22,208
Excuse me.
Yes.

1230
00:51:22,208 --> 00:51:24,043
I think Judy Garland is
stuck in your elevator.

1231
00:51:24,043 --> 00:51:25,587
I can hear her shrieking.

1232
00:51:25,587 --> 00:51:27,463
In E flat.

1233
00:51:27,463 --> 00:51:30,883
[soft slinking music]

1234
00:51:33,511 --> 00:51:35,054
[whistles softly]

00:51:46,024 --> 00:51:49,068
[chatter]

1237
00:51:58,578 --> 00:52:01,664
I hear your Balaban's girl.

1238
00:52:01,664 --> 00:52:02,915
[laughs softly]

1239
00:52:03,916 --> 00:52:07,754
You're not really thinking of
recasting Rebecca, are you?

1240
00:52:07,754 --> 00:52:09,297
Where did you get that idea?

1241
00:52:16,095 --> 00:52:17,305
Lancaster.

1242
00:52:21,726 --> 00:52:22,935
Rewrites?

1243
00:52:22,935 --> 00:52:25,104
Well, a film is ever evolving.

1244
00:52:25,104 --> 00:52:26,064
It's a good ending.

1245
00:52:26,064 --> 00:52:29,108
I'm sorry they're
making you change it.

1246
00:52:29,108 --> 00:52:32,153
No one's asked me to change it.

1247
00:52:32,153 --> 00:52:33,029
They didn't?

1248
00:52:33,029 --> 00:52:34,489
Not unless you're the messenger.

1249
00:52:34,489 --> 00:52:36,032
No, I like it.

1250
00:52:36,032 --> 00:52:37,450
Huh.

1251
00:52:38,951 --> 00:52:42,080
I will admit Harold
had his reservations,

1252
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,166
but it's the only
ending I could see.

1253
00:52:45,166 --> 00:52:46,209
Yes, it's honest.

1254
00:52:46,209 --> 00:52:48,711
I mean, life rarely
gives us happy endings.

1255
00:52:51,130 --> 00:52:52,131
That's true.

[christmas music]

1257
00:52:58,179 --> 00:53:01,641
My dad always says Christmas
is good for two things,

1258
00:53:01,641 --> 00:53:06,354
and one of them is reconnecting
with people we love.

1259
00:53:06,354 --> 00:53:07,730
What's the other?

1260
00:53:07,730 --> 00:53:09,023
[laughs] Eggnog.

1261
00:53:09,023 --> 00:53:11,776
[chuckles] You heard her.

1262
00:53:11,776 --> 00:53:12,944
Two, please.

1263
00:53:12,944 --> 00:53:15,697
[laughs] Thanks.

1264
00:53:15,697 --> 00:53:17,365
Hey, cheers.

1265
00:53:17,365 --> 00:53:20,118
We were together for 15 years.

1266
00:53:20,118 --> 00:53:20,952
Mmm.

1267
00:53:20,952 --> 00:53:23,204
Every Christmas, I'd always
ask for the same thing--

1268
00:53:23,204 --> 00:53:24,163
A new tie.

1269
00:53:24,163 --> 00:53:25,039
[laughs]

1270
00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:27,208
She always insisted
on tying it for me

1271
00:53:27,208 --> 00:53:28,209
to make sure it was straight.

1272
00:53:28,209 --> 00:53:31,170
It's the only time I ever
let her fuss over me.

1273
00:53:33,589 --> 00:53:38,928
And then one day, she told me
that she was tired of sharing

1274
00:53:38,928 --> 00:53:40,555
me with my job.

1275
00:53:42,432 --> 00:53:43,391
I can't blame her.

1276
00:53:43,391 --> 00:53:44,559
It's a lonely life.

1277
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,937
Have you thought about
telling her that you miss her?

1278
00:53:47,937 --> 00:53:50,440
Great gal like that doesn't
wait around for an old fool

1279
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,608
like me to come to his senses.

1280
00:53:52,608 --> 00:53:56,446
Thanks, but I would rather
spare myself the heartache.

1281
00:54:00,616 --> 00:54:03,494
It doesn't seem like you've
been spared much at all.

1282
00:54:08,249 --> 00:54:12,044
[gentle piano music]

1283
00:54:41,282 --> 00:54:44,118
[chatter]

1284
00:54:56,214 --> 00:54:59,217
[light music]

1285
00:55:02,637 --> 00:55:04,263
What are you going to
do for Christmas, Lucy?

1286
00:55:04,263 --> 00:55:09,268
I know, let's time travel back
to 1947 and get stuck there.

1287
00:55:09,268 --> 00:55:12,897
[sighs] Why couldn't the
hourglass be a DeLorean?

1288
00:55:12,897 --> 00:55:16,526
[upbeat piano music]

1289
00:55:26,494 --> 00:55:27,328
Hi.

1290
00:55:27,328 --> 00:55:28,287
Don't stop on my account.

1291
00:55:28,287 --> 00:55:29,288
I was enjoying the show.

1292
00:55:29,288 --> 00:55:32,458
Actually, you're in
time for the duet.

1293
00:55:32,458 --> 00:55:34,460
Oh.

1294
00:55:34,460 --> 00:55:35,294
Oh, brother.

1295
00:55:35,294 --> 00:55:37,004
I mean, you said for
yourself, you go caroling

1296
00:55:37,004 --> 00:55:38,297
every Christmas Eve, right?

1297
00:55:38,297 --> 00:55:39,090
That's true.

1298
00:55:39,090 --> 00:55:42,635
Well, you know "Jingle Bells"?

1299
00:55:42,635 --> 00:55:46,138
Do I know "Jingle Bells"?

1300
00:55:46,138 --> 00:55:47,849
Say, do I know "Jingle "Bells"?

1301
00:55:47,849 --> 00:55:48,766
[laughs]

1302
00:55:50,309 --> 00:55:54,230
["Jingle bells" playing]

1303
00:55:57,316 --> 00:55:59,819
Oh, excuse me.

1304
00:56:01,195 --> 00:56:03,364
(SINGING) Dashing
through the snow--

1305
00:56:03,364 --> 00:56:04,198
Oh.

1306
00:56:04,198 --> 00:56:07,493
(SINGING) --on a one
horse open sleigh.

1307
00:56:07,493 --> 00:56:13,040
O'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way.

1308
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,917
(SINGING) Bells on bobtail ring.

1309
00:56:14,917 --> 00:56:15,626
There it is.

1310
00:56:15,626 --> 00:56:17,336
(SINGING) Making spirits bright.

1311
00:56:17,336 --> 00:56:18,296
Nice.

1312
00:56:18,296 --> 00:56:20,339
(SINGING) What fun it
is to laugh and sing

1313
00:56:20,339 --> 00:56:22,508
a sleighing song tonight.

1314
00:56:22,508 --> 00:56:26,929
(BOTH SINGING) Oh, jingle
bells, jingle bells,

1315
00:56:26,929 --> 00:56:28,764
jingle all the way.

1316
00:56:28,764 --> 00:56:33,019
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh.

1317
00:56:33,019 --> 00:56:35,354
Jingle bells, jingle bells.

1318
00:56:35,354 --> 00:56:36,689
(SINGING) Jingle all the way.

1319
00:56:36,689 --> 00:56:37,732
Beautiful.

1320
00:56:37,732 --> 00:56:41,193
(BOTH SINGING) Oh, what fun
it is to ride in a one horse

1321
00:56:41,193 --> 00:56:45,948
open sleigh.

1322
00:56:45,948 --> 00:56:46,574
[laughs]

1323
00:56:46,574 --> 00:56:47,450
There we go.

1324
00:56:47,450 --> 00:56:48,409
That's--

1325
00:56:50,661 --> 00:56:54,957
They never should have cut you
for Meet Me in Poughkeepsie.

1326
00:56:54,957 --> 00:56:57,919
Better save the encore.

1327
00:56:57,919 --> 00:56:59,420
You hear the news?

1328
00:56:59,420 --> 00:57:00,379
What news?

1329
00:57:00,379 --> 00:57:01,923
Hayward's out.

1330
00:57:01,923 --> 00:57:03,049
She's fired?

1331
00:57:03,049 --> 00:57:03,966
She quit.

1332
00:57:03,966 --> 00:57:06,302
[dramatic music]

1333
00:57:09,305 --> 00:57:10,389
What do you mean she's gone?

1334
00:57:10,389 --> 00:57:14,143
Peggy said that she grabbed
all of her stuff and took off.

1335
00:57:14,143 --> 00:57:16,479
Had the sound guys
toting her luggage.

1336
00:57:16,479 --> 00:57:18,731
Maybe it's time to replace her.
No.

1337
00:57:18,731 --> 00:57:19,190
You can't.

1338
00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:21,067
What about everything
you shot already?

1339
00:57:21,067 --> 00:57:24,320
[sighs] We'll cut our losses.

1340
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,446
There's nothing we can do.

1341
00:57:25,446 --> 00:57:28,407
The studio will jump at the
chance to cast a bigger name.

1342
00:57:28,407 --> 00:57:31,202
It was the fight of my
life to get them to agree

1343
00:57:31,202 --> 00:57:32,453
to Ava in the first place.

1344
00:57:32,453 --> 00:57:34,205
Just give me today.

1345
00:57:34,205 --> 00:57:35,456
I'll find her.

1346
00:57:35,456 --> 00:57:37,583
Please, it's Christmas Eve.

1347
00:57:37,583 --> 00:57:38,626
One day.

1348
00:57:38,626 --> 00:57:41,170
Hey, wait, where are you going?

1349
00:57:41,170 --> 00:57:41,879
Hold on.

1350
00:57:41,879 --> 00:57:42,546
Lucy, what are you going to do?

1351
00:57:42,546 --> 00:57:44,924
I'm going to go search every
hotel, airport, and bus station

1352
00:57:44,924 --> 00:57:46,509
until I find her.
She can't have gotten far.

1353
00:57:46,509 --> 00:57:48,678
Why are you sticking
your neck out?

1354
00:57:48,678 --> 00:57:50,429
You heard what West said.

1355
00:57:50,429 --> 00:57:51,847
Your boss never wanted her.

1356
00:57:51,847 --> 00:57:53,224
He'll probably be over the moon.

1357
00:57:53,224 --> 00:57:56,435
Any meddling behind his back is
going to land you in hot water.

1358
00:57:56,435 --> 00:57:57,353
[laughs]

1359
00:57:57,353 --> 00:57:58,688
Now, I like Ava.

1360
00:57:58,688 --> 00:58:00,439
But you don't owe her anything.

1361
00:58:00,439 --> 00:58:01,357
Yes, I do.

1362
00:58:01,357 --> 00:58:02,441
This whole thing happened
because I came in.

1363
00:58:02,441 --> 00:58:04,735
I'm going to make it right now.
ls there a phone around here?

1364
00:58:04,735 --> 00:58:07,488
Lucy, you may be OK with
crossing Mr. Balaban,

1365
00:58:07,488 --> 00:58:11,492
but I got a three-picture
deal on the line.

1366
00:58:11,492 --> 00:58:12,493
I understand.

1367
00:58:12,493 --> 00:58:13,452
I do, actually.

1368
00:58:13,452 --> 00:58:15,496
I think there's a
phone at the inn.

1369
00:58:15,496 --> 00:58:18,666
[soft music]

1370
00:58:19,375 --> 00:58:22,461
[light festive music]

1371
00:58:24,672 --> 00:58:25,881
[horn honks]

1372
00:58:27,550 --> 00:58:29,218
Hop in, kid.

1373
00:58:31,345 --> 00:58:32,805
I got a tip from the
parking attendant.

1374
00:58:32,805 --> 00:58:36,475
I heard that she was headed
for the train station.

1375
00:58:36,475 --> 00:58:37,268
Come on.

1376
00:58:37,268 --> 00:58:40,896
[upbeat jazzy music]

1377
00:58:46,110 --> 00:58:47,528
Sorry.

1378
00:58:47,528 --> 00:58:48,529
Excuse me.

1379
00:58:48,529 --> 00:58:49,530
What time is it?

1380
00:58:49,530 --> 00:58:51,532
Oh, it's going to be a
miracle if we find her.

1381
00:58:51,532 --> 00:58:54,076
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

1382
00:58:54,076 --> 00:58:56,370
and there's a miracle
around every corner.

1383
00:58:56,370 --> 00:58:57,538
That's a line from the movie.

1384
00:58:57,538 --> 00:58:58,664
It's a good line.

1385
00:58:58,664 --> 00:58:59,540
Ah, see?

1386
00:58:59,540 --> 00:59:01,375
There she is.

1387
00:59:01,375 --> 00:59:03,544
[clears throat] Ava.

1388
00:59:03,544 --> 00:59:05,880
Save your breath, Huston.

1389
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,048
I've made up my mind.

1390
00:59:07,048 --> 00:59:07,673
Come on.

1391
00:59:07,673 --> 00:59:08,674
Come back to set.

1392
00:59:08,674 --> 00:59:09,675
We need you.

1393
00:59:09,675 --> 00:59:12,344
You and I both know I
wasn't the studio's choice,

1394
00:59:12,344 --> 00:59:13,512
first, second, or third.

1395
00:59:13,512 --> 00:59:16,057
Mr. Balaban's had my
replacement lined up for weeks,

1396
00:59:16,057 --> 00:59:18,392
with the enthusiastic
endorsement of Mr.

1397
00:59:18,392 --> 00:59:19,560
Claude Lancaster no doubt.

1398
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,187
Who cares what they think?

1399
00:59:21,187 --> 00:59:23,064
You were born to play this role.

1400
00:59:23,064 --> 00:59:23,939
She's right.

1401
00:59:23,939 --> 00:59:25,524
Worst thing you can
do in this business

1402
00:59:25,524 --> 00:59:26,525
is overstay your welcome.

1403
00:59:26,525 --> 00:59:28,944
The audience gave up
on me a long time ago.

1404
00:59:28,944 --> 00:59:30,446
Maybe it's time I took the hint.

1405
00:59:30,446 --> 00:59:31,739
What are you going to do?

1406
00:59:31,739 --> 00:59:32,948
I haven't decided yet.

1407
00:59:32,948 --> 00:59:36,702
Maybe I'll buy a farm with
some chickens and an old goat.

1408
00:59:36,702 --> 00:59:37,578
A goat?

1409
00:59:37,578 --> 00:59:39,580
Yes, get a slice of
that simple life.

1410
00:59:39,580 --> 00:59:40,581
Listen.

1411
00:59:40,581 --> 00:59:42,041
I know things seem
bad right now.

1412
00:59:42,041 --> 00:59:46,337
But you are destined
for great things,

1413
00:59:46,337 --> 00:59:48,756
and it all starts
with this part.

1414
00:59:48,756 --> 00:59:50,549
Your friend talks
like a fortune cookie.

1415
00:59:50,549 --> 00:59:52,551
I know, that's a
part of her charm.

1416
00:59:52,551 --> 00:59:54,845
Now arriving, 6:20 to New York.

1417
00:59:54,845 --> 00:59:57,556
Well, I appreciate the pep
talk, but that's my train.

1418
00:59:57,556 --> 00:59:58,474
You can't go.

1419
00:59:58,474 --> 00:59:59,308
Hey, you know what?

1420
00:59:59,308 --> 01:00:00,226
Lucy, let her go.

1421
01:00:00,226 --> 01:00:01,519
She can't hack it anyway.

1422
01:00:01,519 --> 01:00:02,561
What?

1423
01:00:02,561 --> 01:00:04,647
Have you heard back
from Hepburn yet?

1424
01:00:04,647 --> 01:00:08,067
Uh, well, actually, we're
going to go with Veronica Lake.

1425
01:00:08,067 --> 01:00:09,735
I think Claude's a big fan.

1426
01:00:09,735 --> 01:00:10,778
Oh, I bet he is.

1427
01:00:10,778 --> 01:00:12,029
Ah, Ava, I'm so sorry.

1428
01:00:12,029 --> 01:00:14,281
This is business movie talk.
It doesn't it concern you.

1429
01:00:14,281 --> 01:00:15,616
Sayanora, arrivederci, all that.

1430
01:00:15,616 --> 01:00:17,868
Send us a postcard
when you get there.

1431
01:00:17,868 --> 01:00:18,202
Mm.

1432
01:00:18,202 --> 01:00:20,621
He says he's going to give her
a [clears throat] top billing.

1433
01:00:20,621 --> 01:00:21,622
Oh, is that so?

1434
01:00:21,622 --> 01:00:23,124
And the bigger dressing room.

1435
01:00:23,124 --> 01:00:24,083
You don't say.

1436
01:00:24,083 --> 01:00:26,127
You know, Claude is a swell guy.

1437
01:00:26,127 --> 01:00:27,419
Swell, my foot.

1438
01:00:27,419 --> 01:00:29,839
Claude Lancaster wouldn't
know good intentions if it

1439
01:00:29,839 --> 01:00:31,298
knocked him upside the head.

1440
01:00:31,298 --> 01:00:34,176
And if he thinks for one
second he's going to replace me

1441
01:00:34,176 --> 01:00:35,594
with one of those
silly actresses

1442
01:00:35,594 --> 01:00:40,015
from his Christmas list, well,
he's got another thing coming.

1443
01:00:40,015 --> 01:00:44,645
And for the record, I saw
right through this little song

1444
01:00:44,645 --> 01:00:45,604
and dance.

1445
01:00:45,604 --> 01:00:48,315
But does that mean you're
coming back with us anyway?

1446
01:00:52,695 --> 01:00:55,447
I just remembered.

1447
01:00:55,447 --> 01:00:58,450
I'm allergic to goats.

1448
01:00:58,450 --> 01:01:00,619
Oh, boys?

1449
01:01:00,619 --> 01:01:05,249
[laughs] Well, we
just squeaked by.

1450
01:01:05,249 --> 01:01:08,752
[laughs] Hey.

1451
01:01:08,752 --> 01:01:11,005
[train blares]

1452
01:01:16,051 --> 01:01:16,844
Thanks, fellas.

1453
01:01:16,844 --> 01:01:20,097
[light jazzy music]

1454
01:01:27,646 --> 01:01:31,650
Well, now you are an odd duck,
but I think I got your number.

1455
01:01:31,650 --> 01:01:32,776
Oh?

1456
01:01:32,776 --> 01:01:34,361
You say that you're
a solo act, but you

1457
01:01:34,361 --> 01:01:37,031
seem to care an awful lot about
the happiness of other people.

1458
01:01:37,031 --> 01:01:39,366
Well, guess you've got
me all figured out.

1459
01:01:39,366 --> 01:01:40,326
Almost all figured out.

1460
01:01:40,326 --> 01:01:42,036
There is one thing
I'd like to know.

1461
01:01:42,036 --> 01:01:42,870
What's that?

1462
01:01:42,870 --> 01:01:45,497
Would you like to be my
date to the Christmas party?

1463
01:01:45,497 --> 01:01:46,373
Oh, brother.

1464
01:01:46,373 --> 01:01:48,292
Is it too late to
pick the chickens?

1465
01:01:48,292 --> 01:01:49,668
(BOTH) Yes.

1466
01:01:49,668 --> 01:01:53,047
[upbeat jazzy music]

1467
01:01:53,797 --> 01:01:56,926
[chatter]

1468
01:02:17,571 --> 01:02:19,740
You look beautiful.

1469
01:02:19,740 --> 01:02:20,366
Thank you.

1470
01:02:20,366 --> 01:02:21,909
Ava lent her dress.

1471
01:02:21,909 --> 01:02:24,745
You're welcome.

1472
01:02:24,745 --> 01:02:28,123
[light jazzy music]

1473
01:02:37,341 --> 01:02:38,467
Thank you.

1474
01:02:38,467 --> 01:02:39,260
You're welcome.

1475
01:02:39,260 --> 01:02:40,344
Cheers.

1476
01:02:47,726 --> 01:02:50,729
Now, the family
started this tradition

1477
01:02:50,729 --> 01:02:56,151
of handing out presents on
Christmas Eve back in 1895.

1478
01:02:56,151 --> 01:02:57,236
Can you believe that?

1479
01:02:57,236 --> 01:03:01,156
It's been nearly 52 years.

1480
01:03:01,156 --> 01:03:01,949
Is that--

1481
01:03:01,949 --> 01:03:05,828
Mm-hmm, that's Bill's wife.

1482
01:03:05,828 --> 01:03:06,787
[sighs]

1483
01:03:06,787 --> 01:03:10,624
[light cheerful music]

1484
01:03:15,754 --> 01:03:16,755
Merry Christmas.

1485
01:03:16,755 --> 01:03:17,923
Merry Christmas.

1486
01:03:17,923 --> 01:03:18,757
Thank you.

1487
01:03:18,757 --> 01:03:19,758
You're welcome.

1488
01:03:19,758 --> 01:03:20,718
Hi.

1489
01:03:20,718 --> 01:03:21,677
Hi.

1490
01:03:21,677 --> 01:03:25,973
Well, I see you managed to
corral our wayward star.

1491
01:03:25,973 --> 01:03:28,600
Yes, with a little help.

1492
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,768
I wanted to thank you.

1493
01:03:29,768 --> 01:03:30,769
Oh.

1494
01:03:30,769 --> 01:03:33,772
I took your advice and called
my wife and apologized,

1495
01:03:33,772 --> 01:03:35,190
told her I missed her.

1496
01:03:35,190 --> 01:03:36,150
What did she say?

1497
01:03:36,150 --> 01:03:37,818
She asked me what
took me so long.

1498
01:03:37,818 --> 01:03:41,363
[laughs] You know, I guess my
happy ending was always there.

1499
01:03:41,363 --> 01:03:43,449
I just needed to open
my eyes and see it.

1500
01:03:43,449 --> 01:03:47,453
And maybe these characters
deserve a happy ending, too.

1501
01:03:47,453 --> 01:03:48,954
He ain't lying, sheriff.

1502
01:03:48,954 --> 01:03:52,124
The horse belongs
to Billy the Kid.

1503
01:03:52,124 --> 01:03:56,003
[imitates gunfire]
Oh, you got me.

1504
01:03:56,003 --> 01:04:00,341
Well, if I don't see you before
tomorrow, Merry Christmas.

1505
01:04:00,341 --> 01:04:01,633
Merry Christmas.

1506
01:04:01,633 --> 01:04:04,762
[soft, light music]

1507
01:04:12,811 --> 01:04:16,065
[slow festive music]

1508
01:04:25,574 --> 01:04:26,867
Oh.

1509
01:04:26,867 --> 01:04:27,493
Hello.

1510
01:04:27,493 --> 01:04:29,828
I know your secret.

1511
01:04:29,828 --> 01:04:30,621
Oh?

1512
01:04:30,621 --> 01:04:34,416
Mm, you talked Ava
back into the picture.

1513
01:04:34,416 --> 01:04:37,211
Yes, well, you have
nothing to worry about.

1514
01:04:37,211 --> 01:04:38,670
She's going to be great.

1515
01:04:38,670 --> 01:04:40,839
Oh, we had a plan.

1516
01:04:40,839 --> 01:04:41,840
You had a plan.

1517
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:42,966
There was no we.

1518
01:04:42,966 --> 01:04:47,846
Ah, see, now that's where
you're wrong, Ms. Hardgrove.

1519
01:04:47,846 --> 01:04:48,847
May I cut in?

1520
01:04:48,847 --> 01:04:49,765
No.

1521
01:04:49,765 --> 01:04:50,599
Yes.

1522
01:04:50,599 --> 01:04:51,350
Hi.

1523
01:04:51,350 --> 01:04:52,559
Hi.

1524
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:53,936
I should have known
that your dance

1525
01:04:53,936 --> 01:04:55,729
card would have
filled up the minute

1526
01:04:55,729 --> 01:04:56,855
you stepped on the dance floor.

1527
01:04:56,855 --> 01:04:59,316
This is where I admit
I have two left feet.

1528
01:04:59,316 --> 01:05:03,821
Ah, well, then just
follow my lead.

1529
01:05:07,491 --> 01:05:10,744
[soft music]

1530
01:05:36,270 --> 01:05:41,316
You know, the thought
has just occurred to me

1531
01:05:41,316 --> 01:05:44,903
that it is Christmas
Eve, and I didn't

1532
01:05:44,903 --> 01:05:47,656
get you a Christmas gift.

1533
01:05:47,656 --> 01:05:48,574
I don't need a gift.

1534
01:05:48,574 --> 01:05:50,534
Yeah, but I want
you to have one,

1535
01:05:50,534 --> 01:05:53,579
and I think I know
just the thing.

1536
01:05:53,579 --> 01:05:55,539
[laughs] I can't
take your watch.

1537
01:05:55,539 --> 01:06:00,002
Yes, you can because I think
that you use it more than I do.

1538
01:06:00,002 --> 01:06:03,380
And next time
you're running late,

1539
01:06:03,380 --> 01:06:07,468
well, you can think of me.

1540
01:06:07,468 --> 01:06:08,093
I will.

1541
01:06:08,093 --> 01:06:10,637
Thank you.

1542
01:06:10,637 --> 01:06:12,931
What are you doing
New Year's Eve?

1543
01:06:12,931 --> 01:06:16,268
If you don't have to get back
to Los Angeles right away,

1544
01:06:16,268 --> 01:06:20,481
there's a little shindig
down in the village.

1545
01:06:20,481 --> 01:06:21,482
Um.

1546
01:06:21,482 --> 01:06:22,399
What?

1547
01:06:25,235 --> 01:06:27,404
Too much too soon?

1548
01:06:27,404 --> 01:06:37,706
I just-- I feel like I have
always meant to know you.

1549
01:06:37,706 --> 01:06:39,041
And now that I've
met you, I can't

1550
01:06:39,041 --> 01:06:41,001
see a future without you in it.

1551
01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:44,671
Oh, gosh.

1552
01:06:46,965 --> 01:06:49,968
I'm sorry.

1553
01:06:49,968 --> 01:06:50,886
What am I doing?

1554
01:06:50,886 --> 01:06:51,595
This isn't real.

1555
01:06:51,595 --> 01:06:53,096
None of this is real.

1556
01:06:53,096 --> 01:06:53,972
Lucy.

1557
01:06:53,972 --> 01:06:55,724
No.

1558
01:06:55,724 --> 01:06:57,601
I'm so sorry.

1559
01:07:00,646 --> 01:07:03,065
I wasn't expecting you.

1560

[soft music]

1562
01:07:17,037 --> 01:07:19,373
Oh, Ms. Hardgrove, I've
been looking for you.

1563
01:07:19,373 --> 01:07:20,082
Oh.

1564
01:07:20,082 --> 01:07:21,959
Is everything all right?
Yes.

1565
01:07:21,959 --> 01:07:22,751
Thank you.

1566
01:07:22,751 --> 01:07:24,628
Well, we were able
to fix the hourglass.

1567
01:07:24,628 --> 01:07:26,171
What?
The hourglass.

1568
01:07:26,171 --> 01:07:27,005
I took care of it.

1569
01:07:27,005 --> 01:07:28,507
Good as new
Thank you.

1570
01:07:28,507 --> 01:07:29,591
Where is it?

1571
01:07:29,591 --> 01:07:32,469
It's in the prop master's
truck, parked right out front.

1572
01:07:32,469 --> 01:07:34,096
All right.

1573
01:07:34,096 --> 01:07:35,013
Merry Christmas.

1574
01:07:35,013 --> 01:07:36,265
Merry Christmas.

[gentle music]

1576
01:07:45,065 --> 01:07:49,069
Here, sweetheart.

1577
01:07:49,069 --> 01:07:50,028
Peppermint.

1578
01:07:50,028 --> 01:07:50,862
Michael.

1579
01:07:50,862 --> 01:07:54,074
Michael, I told you to
stay where I could see you.

1580
01:07:54,074 --> 01:07:55,742
Your grandfather
will be back as soon

1581
01:07:55,742 --> 01:07:57,369
as he's talked to Mr. West.

1582
01:07:57,369 --> 01:08:00,956
Michael Balaban?

1583
01:08:00,956 --> 01:08:02,040
[exhales]

1584
01:08:02,833 --> 01:08:04,585
Well, that means
your grandfather is--

1585
01:08:04,585 --> 01:08:05,210
Harold.

1586
01:08:05,210 --> 01:08:06,128
He just got in.

1587
01:08:06,128 --> 01:08:07,296
Come along now.

1588
01:08:10,048 --> 01:08:13,844
[dramatic music]

1589
01:08:17,055 --> 01:08:18,890
Where's West?

1590
01:08:18,890 --> 01:08:19,933
I'm not sure, sir.

1591
01:08:19,933 --> 01:08:21,476
I think his wife just arrived.

1592
01:08:21,476 --> 01:08:24,396
Do you know how much money
I've sunk into this picture?

1593
01:08:24,396 --> 01:08:27,065
Too much for him to
take a second honeymoon.

1594
01:08:27,065 --> 01:08:28,066
Absolutely.

1595
01:08:28,066 --> 01:08:30,652
I just wanted to talk to
you about Ms. Hardgrove.

1596
01:08:30,652 --> 01:08:31,278
Who?

1597
01:08:31,278 --> 01:08:32,779
Ms. Hardgrove?

1598
01:08:32,779 --> 01:08:35,032
The studio liaison you sent.

1599
01:08:35,032 --> 01:08:38,118
Son, if I sent
someone in my place,

1600
01:08:38,118 --> 01:08:39,953
why would I be standing here?

1601
01:08:39,953 --> 01:08:42,873
But she's been on set for days.

1602
01:08:42,873 --> 01:08:45,917
Probably works for
one of those tabloids.

1603
01:08:45,917 --> 01:08:47,210
You, come here.

1604
01:08:47,210 --> 01:08:50,922
I want you to find this
Hardgrove lady, now.

Oh, I just can't thank
you enough for taking

1608
01:08:59,556 --> 01:09:01,099
me through the house again.

1609
01:09:01,099 --> 01:09:01,975
Twice.

1610
01:09:01,975 --> 01:09:03,477
It's just so much to see.

1611
01:09:03,477 --> 01:09:06,104
And we only have a few
dozen more items to get to.

1612
01:09:06,104 --> 01:09:08,106
We're going to have to
get to that tomorrow

1613
01:09:08,106 --> 01:09:09,107
because I have got--

1614
01:09:09,107 --> 01:09:10,609
But I won't be here tomorrow.

1615
01:09:10,609 --> 01:09:11,485
I'll get Paige.

1616
01:09:11,485 --> 01:09:12,277
I'll get--

1617
01:09:12,277 --> 01:09:13,153
[shouts]

1618
01:09:13,153 --> 01:09:15,364
What happened?

1619
01:09:15,364 --> 01:09:16,198
It's my trick knee.

1620
01:09:16,198 --> 01:09:18,200
It always acts up in the cold.

1621
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,743

1624

Lucy.

1625
01:09:29,503 --> 01:09:30,629
Can we talk?

1626
01:09:30,629 --> 01:09:31,672
I have to go.

1627
01:09:31,672 --> 01:09:32,464
Go where?

1628
01:09:32,464 --> 01:09:33,131
Why?

1629
01:09:33,131 --> 01:09:34,591
I can't explain it right now.

1630
01:09:34,591 --> 01:09:35,342
Lucy.

1631
01:09:35,342 --> 01:09:37,135
Jack, I'm not who
you think I am.

1632
01:09:37,135 --> 01:09:38,929
What does that mean?

1633
01:09:38,929 --> 01:09:40,138
Who are you?

1634
01:09:40,138 --> 01:09:42,891
There she is.

1635
01:09:42,891 --> 01:09:43,517
Oh, no.

1636
01:09:43,517 --> 01:09:46,728
[tense music]

1637
01:09:49,189 --> 01:09:50,607
Ms. Majors, stop.

1638
01:09:55,904 --> 01:09:56,905
Lucy.

1639
01:09:59,199 --> 01:10:01,201
Why are you running?

[tense music]

1641
01:10:05,872 --> 01:10:07,416
What is going on?

1642
01:10:07,416 --> 01:10:08,959
You can trust me.

1643
01:10:08,959 --> 01:10:10,711
Talk to me.

1644
01:10:10,711 --> 01:10:12,921
OK.

1645
01:10:12,921 --> 01:10:14,715
I'm not from the studio.

1646
01:10:14,715 --> 01:10:17,175
Where are you from?

1647
01:10:17,175 --> 01:10:18,802
I'm from the future.

1648
01:10:18,802 --> 01:10:20,137
Huh?

1649
01:10:22,180 --> 01:10:23,181
What's the gag?

1650
01:10:23,181 --> 01:10:24,683
I'm from 80 years
in the future, Jack.

1651
01:10:24,683 --> 01:10:26,518
I turned an hourglass,
the one that I broke,

1652
01:10:26,518 --> 01:10:31,189
and it brought me here,
and now I'm stuck.

1653
01:10:31,189 --> 01:10:32,190
You're serious.

1654
01:10:32,190 --> 01:10:33,442
If they find me,
they'll take me away,

1655
01:10:33,442 --> 01:10:35,235
and I'll never be
able to get home.

1656
01:10:35,235 --> 01:10:36,820
[knocking]

1657
01:10:36,820 --> 01:10:39,281
Let me in, Jack.

1658
01:10:39,281 --> 01:10:40,907
Give me a key for this door.

1659
01:10:40,907 --> 01:10:42,159
[knocking]

1660
01:10:43,493 --> 01:10:44,953
I know it sounds crazy.

1661
01:10:44,953 --> 01:10:46,037
I do.

1662
01:10:48,039 --> 01:10:49,833
Let me in!

[knocking]

1664
01:10:51,209 --> 01:10:53,545
You got five seconds to
open this door, Huston,

1665
01:10:53,545 --> 01:10:55,505
or you could kiss
your career goodbye.

1666

[tense music]

1667
01:10:57,215 --> 01:10:58,884
I just need to get
to the hourglass

1668
01:10:58,884 --> 01:11:00,552
on the prop master's truck.

1669
01:11:02,721 --> 01:11:04,264
[knocking]

1670
01:11:07,225 --> 01:11:10,729
There's a back door,
up those stairs.

1671
01:11:10,729 --> 01:11:11,229
Go.

1672
01:11:11,229 --> 01:11:12,481
I'll buy you some time.

1673
01:11:12,481 --> 01:11:15,609
Thank you.

1674
01:11:15,609 --> 01:11:16,443

Thank you.

1679
01:11:31,833 --> 01:11:34,795
I'm glad that you
came into my life,

1680
01:11:34,795 --> 01:11:37,172
even if it was only
for a little while.

1681
01:11:41,092 --> 01:11:44,846
Oh, Jack, there's something you
need to know about your life.

1682
01:11:44,846 --> 01:11:46,264

01:11:50,894 --> 01:11:53,647
Where's the girl?

1685

Hiya, fellas.

1686
01:11:55,273 --> 01:11:57,275
Where's the girl?

1687
01:11:57,275 --> 01:11:58,777
Don't be smart with me, Huston.

1688
01:11:58,777 --> 01:12:00,904
I saw her come in the room.

1689
01:12:00,904 --> 01:12:03,323
Now where did she go?

1690
01:12:03,323 --> 01:12:05,367
She went home, Balaban.

1691
01:12:05,367 --> 01:12:06,910
Home.

1692

[tense music]

1693
01:12:14,543 --> 01:12:16,086
Where do you think you're going?

1694
01:12:16,086 --> 01:12:18,255
Oh, hi, I was looking for you.

1695
01:12:18,255 --> 01:12:19,214
Save it.

1696
01:12:19,214 --> 01:12:21,716
I know you're not
from the studio.

1697
01:12:21,716 --> 01:12:23,009
Fine, you got me.

1698
01:12:23,009 --> 01:12:23,885
I'll see myself out.

Not so fast.

like a word first.

1704
01:12:33,728 --> 01:12:35,647
I'll take care of this one.

01:12:42,696 --> 01:12:45,365
I'll be taking top
billing and the bigger

I'm sorry.

just one more day.

There you are.

determined that you

have one last chance
to see the hourglass

1727
01:14:06,404 --> 01:14:08,239
before we took it away.

01:14:11,534 --> 01:14:13,620
Thank you.

01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:15,246
I'm all set.

It's a long story.

I guess some things are
just always meant to be.

They're showing His Merry
Wife! in the theater soon.

1808
01:19:11,542 --> 01:19:13,836
This is going to be better
than Check in to Christmas.

1809
01:19:13,836 --> 01:19:14,837
Whoa.

1810
01:19:14,837 --> 01:19:18,132
[gentle music]

1811
01:19:18,967 --> 01:19:22,637
Fresh from its debut
at the Smithsonian.

1812
01:19:22,637 --> 01:19:24,722
Still got time to
put it in your movie.

1813
01:19:24,722 --> 01:19:25,723
Ha.

1814
01:19:25,723 --> 01:19:28,726
We've replaced it with a
different, less breakable prop.

1815
01:19:28,726 --> 01:19:31,229
I just thought you might
like to see it one last time

1816
01:19:31,229 --> 01:19:32,772
before it goes
back in the vault,

1817
01:19:32,772 --> 01:19:37,110
considering your history.

1818
01:19:37,110 --> 01:19:40,738
[soft music]

1819
01:20:05,346 --> 01:20:06,306
Goodbye, Jack.

1820
01:20:06,306 --> 01:20:09,600
[gentle music]

1821
01:21:02,737 --> 01:21:05,239
How are you here?

1822
01:21:06,491 --> 01:21:09,911
Well, you're a hard one
to forget, Lucy Hardgrove.

1823
01:21:11,871 --> 01:21:18,086
Now, I tried a thousand times
to get that hourglass to bring

1824
01:21:18,086 --> 01:21:22,965
me to you, and it never worked.

1825
01:21:22,965 --> 01:21:28,054
And then I remembered
something that you told me--

1826
01:21:28,054 --> 01:21:32,642
December 24, 1948.

1827
01:21:32,642 --> 01:21:36,938
I guess I just needed a
little Christmas magic.

1828
01:21:36,938 --> 01:21:39,607
The newspaper said
that you died.

1829
01:21:39,607 --> 01:21:43,111
It's a cover story
that we planted just

1830
01:21:43,111 --> 01:21:47,365
in case of an unexplained
disappearance.

1831
01:21:48,324 --> 01:21:50,451
Does that mean you--

1832
01:21:50,451 --> 01:21:51,953
You stay?

1833
01:21:51,953 --> 01:21:56,874
Well, that depends on you.

1834
01:21:59,919 --> 01:22:02,338
You would really
give up everything

1835
01:22:02,338 --> 01:22:06,843
you've ever known for me.

1836
01:22:12,014 --> 01:22:13,891
Why?

1837
01:22:13,891 --> 01:22:17,270
Because I love you.

1838
01:22:17,270 --> 01:22:20,940
[light music]

1839
01:22:41,127 --> 01:22:44,380
[whistling]

1840
01:22:49,177 --> 01:22:51,387
Huh.

1841
01:22:51,387 --> 01:22:54,807
So this is the future, huh?

1842
01:22:54,807 --> 01:22:55,766
Yeah.

1843
01:22:55,766 --> 01:22:56,517
Stick with me, kid.

1844
01:22:56,517 --> 01:22:57,810
I'll show you around.

1845
01:22:57,810 --> 01:22:59,937
Well, I'm planning on it.

1846
01:22:59,937 --> 01:23:00,813
Merry Christmas, Jack.

1847
01:23:00,813 --> 01:23:02,940
Oh, merry Christmas, Lucy.

1848
01:23:02,940 --> 01:23:05,401
[light cheerful music]

1849
01:23:29,967 --> 01:23:32,386
[upbeat jazzy music]

1850
01:23:54,659 --> 01:23:56,994
