3
00:02:47.036 --> 00:02:48.472
-Hi!

4
00:02:48.516 --> 00:02:50.735
If it isn't my favorite sister.

5
00:02:50.779 --> 00:02:53.608
- Well, I'm your older sister,
but I'll take it.

6
00:02:53.651 --> 00:02:55.175
So you're down there already?

7
00:02:55.218 --> 00:02:56.611
And in the Christmas spirit,
I see.

8
00:02:56.654 --> 00:03:00.049
-Yeah, I just walked in.

9
00:03:00.092 --> 00:03:01.398
- How does the place look?
-Good.

10
00:03:01.442 --> 00:03:03.835
The same. A little dusty.

11
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.229
Look.

12
00:03:06.273 --> 00:03:08.797
Can't believe I didn't get
down here once last year.

13
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:10.929
- Oh, really? Wow.

14
00:03:10.973 --> 00:03:14.019
It's been probably a couple
of years since I've been there.

15
00:03:14.063 --> 00:03:16.239
-Really?

16
00:03:16.283 --> 00:03:18.023
- Kind of bittersweet, huh?

17
00:03:18.067 --> 00:03:20.939
-I'm not sure I can taste
the sweet part of this.

18
00:03:20.983 --> 00:03:23.725
- Come on, Margs. Come on.
We talked about this.

19
00:03:23.768 --> 00:03:25.988
It's the right thing to do.
-Is it?

20
00:03:26.031 --> 00:03:28.991
- Yes.
It's too expensive to keep.

21
00:03:29.034 --> 00:03:30.862
-Well, if Tom would just
pull his weight...

22
00:03:30.906 --> 00:03:33.038
- Hey, come on, now. Come on.

23
00:03:33.082 --> 00:03:34.823
It's the season of the year
to be charitable.

24
00:03:34.866 --> 00:03:36.999
Besides, we've already made
this decision, right?

25
00:03:37.042 --> 00:03:38.827
-I know,
but then I got down here

26
00:03:38.870 --> 00:03:44.006
and this place is filled
with so many memories.

27
00:03:44.049 --> 00:03:46.748
- Well, I'll be there in
a couple of days.

28
00:03:46.791 --> 00:03:49.098
At least we'll be able
to say goodbye together.

29
00:03:49.141 --> 00:03:53.798
-Yeah.
- And cheer up! It's Christmas.

30
00:03:56.845 --> 00:03:58.803
-Okay.

31
00:03:58.847 --> 00:04:01.284
Bye.
-Bye.

32
00:04:31.967 --> 00:04:34.448
-"It was then
that Caroline realized

33
00:04:34.491 --> 00:04:37.102
that it didn't matter
if her house was big or small

34
00:04:37.146 --> 00:04:38.887
or not much of a house at all.

35
00:04:38.930 --> 00:04:40.802
A home is more than
bricks and blocks

36
00:04:40.845 --> 00:04:42.543
and windows and locks.

37
00:04:42.586 --> 00:04:46.155
A home is more than a bed
or where you rest your head.

38
00:04:46.198 --> 00:04:48.331
They say that home
is where the heart is,

39
00:04:48.375 --> 00:04:50.028
and Caroline
knew that to be true.

40
00:04:50.072 --> 00:04:52.335
But what she didn't realize

41
00:04:52.379 --> 00:04:55.164
is that your home
is within you."

42
00:04:59.342 --> 00:05:01.388
Thank you all so much
for coming.

43
00:05:01.431 --> 00:05:05.305
It's such a pleasure to read
in a place that I love so much,

44
00:05:05.348 --> 00:05:09.657
and in a place that I call home.

45
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:12.268
I'm going to be sticking around
for a little bit

46
00:05:12.312 --> 00:05:15.315
if anybody would like to get
a copy of their book signed.

47
00:05:23.235 --> 00:05:25.194
Hey, Jackie. Thanks again.

48
00:05:25.237 --> 00:05:27.544
-Are you kidding me?
You're really getting good.

49
00:05:27.588 --> 00:05:29.720
-Think so?
-Yeah, I know so.

50
00:05:29.764 --> 00:05:32.810
Did you see those kids faces?
They loved it.

51
00:05:32.854 --> 00:05:34.377
You know,
you pull in more customers

52
00:05:34.421 --> 00:05:36.074
than most of the other authors
I have in here.

53
00:05:36.118 --> 00:05:38.860
-It's the local draw,
but it did feel nice.

54
00:05:38.903 --> 00:05:41.384
-Great message, too.

55
00:05:41.428 --> 00:05:42.733
-Mm. I wish I believed it.

56
00:05:42.777 --> 00:05:45.388
-Shh. Your fans.

57
00:05:45.432 --> 00:05:47.912
-Yeah, right.

58
00:05:47.956 --> 00:05:50.175
-Hey, what's going on?

59
00:05:50.219 --> 00:05:53.048
You look like you saw a ghost.
-N--Nothing.

60
00:05:53.091 --> 00:05:54.223
I'll tell you about it later.

61
00:05:54.266 --> 00:05:55.790
-You better.

62
00:05:55.833 --> 00:05:58.053
In the meantime,
your adoring public awaits.

63
00:05:58.096 --> 00:05:59.620
-Mm.

64
00:05:59.663 --> 00:06:01.186
Hi, guys. What's your name?

65
00:06:01.230 --> 00:06:03.101
Do you want me
to sign this for you?

66
00:06:03.145 --> 00:06:04.886
-Yes, please.
-Okay.

67
00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:12.067
-Is your family here yet?

68
00:06:12.110 --> 00:06:16.288
-No, Meredith, Jeff, and Ace
get in on Thursday.

69
00:06:16.332 --> 00:06:20.423
-What about Tom?
-Mr. Reliable?

70
00:06:20.467 --> 00:06:22.425
He's probably
in the Caribbean somewhere.

71
00:06:22.469 --> 00:06:24.427
-Good for him.

72
00:06:24.471 --> 00:06:27.909
-He's supposed to come, but
I'll believe it when I see it.

73
00:06:27.952 --> 00:06:31.695
He'll settle down someday.
Or maybe he won't.

74
00:06:31.739 --> 00:06:35.220
-So what's your plan
while you're here?

75
00:06:35.264 --> 00:06:36.744
-Oh...

76
00:06:36.787 --> 00:06:39.355
This is actually
our last Christmas here.

77
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:40.574
We have to sell the house.

78
00:06:40.617 --> 00:06:42.793
-What?
-Yeah.

79
00:06:42.837 --> 00:06:45.187
-How long have
we known about this?

80
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:49.147
-A few months now, but it didn't
seem final until I got here.

81
00:06:49.191 --> 00:06:52.412
Meredith and Tom hired a realtor
who evidently has a buyer

82
00:06:52.455 --> 00:06:54.718
that wants to close
before the end of the year,

83
00:06:54.762 --> 00:06:57.199
sight unseen.
-So what does that mean?

84
00:06:57.242 --> 00:06:59.723
You won't
come down here anymore?

85
00:06:59.767 --> 00:07:02.596
-I guess not.
-How do you feel about that?

86
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.554
-Terrible.

87
00:07:04.598 --> 00:07:05.860
I mean, it makes sense
with Mom and Dad gone,

88
00:07:05.903 --> 00:07:09.037
but the Cape is part of me.

89
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:12.606
-Oh, Margot, I'm so sorry.

90
00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:14.042
Well, if this is
your last Christmas,

91
00:07:14.085 --> 00:07:15.783
then you better
make it a good one.

92
00:07:15.826 --> 00:07:17.437
-See, that's exactly
what I was thinking.

93
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.135
I want to make this
the most special Christmas ever.

94
00:07:20.178 --> 00:07:21.702
-That's the spirit.

95
00:07:21.745 --> 00:07:24.139
-And then maybe I can convince
Tom and Meredith

96
00:07:24.182 --> 00:07:26.663
that this place is so great,
they shouldn't sell.

97
00:07:26.707 --> 00:07:28.056
-How likely is that?

98
00:07:28.099 --> 00:07:30.624
-At this point, not very.

99
00:07:35.324 --> 00:07:37.587
-Ahh.
-You need to take that?

100
00:07:37.631 --> 00:07:40.372
-No, that's my agent.
-Then answer it.

101
00:07:40.416 --> 00:07:43.027
-No, she's just calling to see
if I have any new pages.

102
00:07:43.071 --> 00:07:44.159
-And I take it you don't.

103
00:07:44.202 --> 00:07:46.335
-No.

104
00:07:46.378 --> 00:07:48.293
I've been feeling
pretty stuck the last few weeks.

105
00:07:48.337 --> 00:07:50.382
My mind's been on other stuff.

106
00:07:50.426 --> 00:07:53.081
-Well, that's understandable.

107
00:07:53.124 --> 00:07:57.389
Hey, I'm sure
you'll figure it out.

108
00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.479
-I hope you're right.

109
00:09:29.133 --> 00:09:30.744
-Christian.

110
00:10:44.165 --> 00:10:46.341
-Hey, can I help you something?

111
00:10:46.384 --> 00:10:47.821
-Yeah, this gallery.

112
00:10:47.864 --> 00:10:49.605
I haven't seen it before.
Is it new?

113
00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:51.215
-Yeah, we just opened.

114
00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:52.826
Let me know if you have
any other questions.

115
00:10:52.869 --> 00:10:56.743
-I was just looking at
these beautiful paintings.

116
00:10:56.786 --> 00:10:59.267
They capture
the feel of the Cape so well.

117
00:10:59.310 --> 00:11:00.660
Who's the artist?

118
00:11:00.703 --> 00:11:02.444
-It's a local artist, actually.

119
00:11:02.487 --> 00:11:06.361
I think his name
is Christian something?

120
00:11:06.404 --> 00:11:08.189
-Christian?
-Yeah.

121
00:11:08.232 --> 00:11:11.366
Do you know him?

122
00:11:11.409 --> 00:11:15.892
-I...We were k--

123
00:11:15.936 --> 00:11:17.938
Christian?
-Yeah.

124
00:11:17.981 --> 00:11:19.853
I am Christian, the artist.

125
00:11:19.896 --> 00:11:22.464
I just -- I don't
like to lead with that.

126
00:11:22.507 --> 00:11:25.423
I don't want to taint
people's opinions of the work.

127
00:11:25.467 --> 00:11:29.340
-Christian, it's Margot.

128
00:11:29.384 --> 00:11:31.299
Bradford.

129
00:11:31.342 --> 00:11:33.431
-I know. I'm so sorry,
I'm messing with you,

130
00:11:33.475 --> 00:11:35.085
I saw you at your book reading.

131
00:11:35.129 --> 00:11:37.392
-What? You...?

132
00:11:37.435 --> 00:11:39.916
I thought I recognized you.
-Yeah.

133
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.136
Wow, how long has it been?

134
00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:44.268
-It must be 20 years.

135
00:11:44.312 --> 00:11:48.446
My gosh,
you look exactly the same

136
00:11:48.490 --> 00:11:50.927
-Taller.

137
00:11:50.971 --> 00:11:52.363
-Yeah.

138
00:11:52.407 --> 00:11:54.365
-And you're...
-Not a ponytailed tomboy?

139
00:11:54.409 --> 00:11:57.064
-Hardly.

140
00:11:57.107 --> 00:11:59.066
-Wow.

141
00:11:59.109 --> 00:12:01.111
The last time I saw you
was right before

142
00:12:01.155 --> 00:12:02.765
your family moved to Michigan.

143
00:12:02.809 --> 00:12:06.900
-Yeah, that's right.
Grand Rapids. You remember.

144
00:12:06.943 --> 00:12:08.858
-Of course I did. Yeah.

145
00:12:08.902 --> 00:12:11.252
-Wow.

146
00:12:11.295 --> 00:12:14.211
-So are you here now
for good or...?

147
00:12:14.255 --> 00:12:15.647
-Uh, for now.

148
00:12:15.691 --> 00:12:17.214
Yeah, after Michigan,

149
00:12:17.258 --> 00:12:20.087
my dad got transferred
to Sydney, Australia.

150
00:12:20.130 --> 00:12:22.045
-You're kidding.
-No, it was great.

151
00:12:22.089 --> 00:12:24.439
We spent about 10 years
Down Under

152
00:12:24.482 --> 00:12:28.008
and then we went to Europe,

153
00:12:28.051 --> 00:12:29.836
studied there
for a couple of years,

154
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.361
traveled around a lot, and
landed back here on the Cape.

155
00:12:33.404 --> 00:12:36.364
-Wow.
-How about you?

156
00:12:36.407 --> 00:12:39.106
-I live in Boston.
I have since college.

157
00:12:39.149 --> 00:12:41.325
Seems very boring
compared to your world travels.

158
00:12:41.369 --> 00:12:44.372
-And you write children's books.
That's not boring at all.

159
00:12:44.415 --> 00:12:46.635
-Well, I guess that's true.

160
00:12:46.678 --> 00:12:48.332
-How's the family?

161
00:12:48.376 --> 00:12:51.292
-Oh...they're good.

162
00:12:51.335 --> 00:12:54.686
Yeah, my mom and dad died
a few years back.

163
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:59.387
My mom from cancer and my dad
from a broken heart.

164
00:12:59.430 --> 00:13:00.954
-Yeah, they say that happens.

165
00:13:00.997 --> 00:13:02.694
I'm sorry.

166
00:13:02.738 --> 00:13:05.262
I remember them well.
They were great people.

167
00:13:05.306 --> 00:13:06.873
-Thanks.

168
00:13:06.916 --> 00:13:09.353
-So are you here alone or...?

169
00:13:09.397 --> 00:13:11.094
-Yeah, it's just me.
-Oh.

170
00:13:11.138 --> 00:13:13.618
-My sister and her family
and hopefully my brother

171
00:13:13.662 --> 00:13:15.229
are coming next week
to celebrate Christmas.

172
00:13:15.272 --> 00:13:16.708
-Oh, like the good old days.

173
00:13:16.752 --> 00:13:18.275
-Yeah.

174
00:13:21.191 --> 00:13:25.979
It is so great to see
all of your artwork.

175
00:13:26.022 --> 00:13:28.677
You always were
such an incredible artist.

176
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.376
-Yeah, I guess it just
kind of stayed with me.

177
00:13:32.420 --> 00:13:33.987
-It sure did.

178
00:13:39.688 --> 00:13:42.256
It was such a nice surprise
running into you.

179
00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:45.389
-Yeah, it was
a wonderful surprise.

180
00:13:45.433 --> 00:13:47.783
Come back in anytime.

181
00:13:47.827 --> 00:13:50.960
-Bye.
-Bye.

182
00:13:51.004 --> 00:13:53.006
Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

183
00:13:55.660 --> 00:13:58.011
-Oh, you, uh -- you've
got to really push it.

184
00:13:58.054 --> 00:14:01.057
It gets stuck.

185
00:14:01.101 --> 00:14:03.668
-Bye.

186
00:16:06.052 --> 00:16:09.098
-Hello.
-Hi.

187
00:16:09.142 --> 00:16:11.405
-Fancy seeing you here.
-Oh, not really.

188
00:16:11.448 --> 00:16:14.190
There's only a couple
of coffee shops in town.

189
00:16:14.234 --> 00:16:16.236
Do you wanna join me?

190
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.455
-Sure.

191
00:16:18.499 --> 00:16:19.891
-Um...

192
00:16:19.935 --> 00:16:22.329
you sit and I'll
grab you a coffee.

193
00:16:22.372 --> 00:16:24.853
-Thanks.

194
00:16:24.896 --> 00:16:27.029
-Oh, regular coffee,

195
00:16:27.073 --> 00:16:28.988
or are you like
a sophisticated, urban author

196
00:16:29.031 --> 00:16:30.685
that only drinks lattes now?

197
00:16:30.728 --> 00:16:33.905
-Regular coffee,
black, strong, unadulterated.

198
00:16:33.949 --> 00:16:37.083
-Okay. I remember that
decisive quality about you.

199
00:16:37.126 --> 00:16:38.693
-Can I get another coffee,
please?

200
00:16:47.658 --> 00:16:50.574
-It is so weird seeing you.

201
00:16:50.618 --> 00:16:51.836
-Good weird or bad weird?

202
00:16:51.880 --> 00:16:53.664
-Good weird.

203
00:16:55.666 --> 00:16:57.320
Yeah, I feel like
I know you so well,

204
00:16:57.364 --> 00:16:59.496
but I missed
the whole growing-up part,

205
00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:01.846
and I'm just wondering
if you're the same guy.

206
00:17:01.890 --> 00:17:05.502
-I'm the same guy.
-Just with facial hair.

207
00:17:05.546 --> 00:17:07.635
-Yeah.

208
00:17:07.678 --> 00:17:10.681
-So I woke up this morning
and something occurred to me.

209
00:17:10.725 --> 00:17:13.162
-What was that?
-Well...

210
00:17:13.206 --> 00:17:15.469
this is actually our last
Christmas on the Cape.

211
00:17:15.512 --> 00:17:17.558
-You're kidding.
-I wish I was.

212
00:17:17.601 --> 00:17:21.170
We have to sell the house.
-Why?

213
00:17:21.214 --> 00:17:23.259
-Well, my siblings don't want
to keep it up anymore,

214
00:17:23.303 --> 00:17:27.089
and I don't have enough money
to buy the other two out.

215
00:17:27.133 --> 00:17:29.657
-It's far too common a scenario.
-But I was wondering

216
00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:33.443
if maybe I could commission you
to paint a picture of our house.

217
00:17:33.487 --> 00:17:34.966
I want to give it to my sister
for Christmas.

218
00:17:35.010 --> 00:17:36.794
I think she would love it.

219
00:17:36.838 --> 00:17:39.797
-Sorry, you can't commission me.

220
00:17:39.841 --> 00:17:41.582
-Oh, why, are you booked?

221
00:17:41.625 --> 00:17:47.979
-I don't do commissioned work.
-Oh, okay.

222
00:17:48.023 --> 00:17:50.634
-But I will make you a deal.

223
00:17:50.678 --> 00:17:52.767
-What kind of deal?

224
00:17:52.810 --> 00:17:58.033
-Do you remember years ago,
I drew a portrait of you?

225
00:17:58.077 --> 00:17:59.382
-Yeah, I still have it.

226
00:17:59.426 --> 00:18:01.776
-You do?

227
00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:05.345
Okay, well,
I will paint your house

228
00:18:05.388 --> 00:18:08.130
if you'll let me draw you again.

229
00:18:08.174 --> 00:18:09.697
-I don't think a picture of me

230
00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:12.134
would warrant a place
on your gallery wall.

231
00:18:12.178 --> 00:18:15.746
-I disagree.

232
00:18:15.790 --> 00:18:18.314
-Really, you'll paint
a picture of our house?

233
00:18:18.358 --> 00:18:20.838
-Yeah. I'd be honored.

234
00:18:20.882 --> 00:18:23.189
-Okay, you have a deal.

235
00:18:23.232 --> 00:18:26.322
-Great. How long do I have?

236
00:18:26.366 --> 00:18:30.196
-Until Friday, Christmas Eve.
-Oh. Oh, okay.

237
00:18:30.239 --> 00:18:32.850
-My sister and her family
get in on Thursday.

238
00:18:32.894 --> 00:18:34.504
Is that enough time?

239
00:18:34.548 --> 00:18:36.071
-Uh, it's going to be tight.

240
00:18:36.115 --> 00:18:39.727
I'd have to come over
every day to work on it.

241
00:18:39.770 --> 00:18:42.164
-Okay.
-That works for you?

242
00:18:42.208 --> 00:18:44.949
-Yeah, that'd be great,
catching up.

243
00:18:44.993 --> 00:18:46.647
-And what will you be doing?

244
00:18:46.690 --> 00:18:48.562
-Oh, I will be busy

245
00:18:48.605 --> 00:18:50.477
providing you
with snacks and drinks

246
00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:52.087
and anything else
you might need.

247
00:18:52.131 --> 00:18:53.697
-Yeah, that'll be helpful.

248
00:18:53.741 --> 00:18:55.177
-And I'll be
decorating the house

249
00:18:55.221 --> 00:18:57.223
and getting ready for
the Christmas Eve feast.

250
00:18:57.266 --> 00:18:59.050
-That sounds nice.

251
00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:02.184
-Well, unfortunately, my motives
aren't quite so selfless.

252
00:19:02.228 --> 00:19:03.664
I'm hoping to make it so special

253
00:19:03.707 --> 00:19:05.666
that my sister
reconsiders selling.

254
00:19:05.709 --> 00:19:09.322
-Gotcha.

255
00:19:09.365 --> 00:19:13.282
-So I'll see you tomorrow?
-Yeah. Bright and early.

256
00:19:13.326 --> 00:19:15.850
-Thanks for the coffee.
-You're welcome.

257
00:20:58.300 --> 00:20:59.954
Hey, Jackie.

258
00:20:59.997 --> 00:21:01.303
I'm kind of in
Christmas overload.

259
00:21:01.347 --> 00:21:03.174
What time are you done
with work?

260
00:21:12.183 --> 00:21:15.535
Mm. I so needed this.

261
00:21:15.578 --> 00:21:18.146
-So, any progress
on the new book?

262
00:21:18.189 --> 00:21:19.626
-Uh...no.

263
00:21:19.669 --> 00:21:21.323
I've been too distracted.

264
00:21:21.367 --> 00:21:22.977
-What's it going to be about?

265
00:21:23.020 --> 00:21:24.718
-I'm thinking it's going to have
a Christmas theme.

266
00:21:24.761 --> 00:21:26.676
-So you haven't
even started it yet?

267
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.461
-Well, uh...no.

268
00:21:28.504 --> 00:21:30.854
But I ran into
a Christmas angel this morning

269
00:21:30.898 --> 00:21:32.508
and it sparked an idea.

270
00:21:32.552 --> 00:21:34.771
-A Christmas angel, huh?

271
00:21:34.815 --> 00:21:36.860
-Do you remember
Christian Williams?

272
00:21:36.904 --> 00:21:38.471
-Of course I do.

273
00:21:38.514 --> 00:21:40.560
He just opened up
the new gallery right next door.

274
00:21:40.603 --> 00:21:43.563
-He's who I thought I saw the
other day at the book signing.

275
00:21:43.606 --> 00:21:45.956
-He's your Christmas angel?

276
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.829
-He's painting our house for me,
for my sister.

277
00:21:48.872 --> 00:21:50.483
It's going to be
the best Christmas present.

278
00:21:50.526 --> 00:21:52.006
-You're kidding me.

279
00:21:52.049 --> 00:21:54.487
And he's not even charging.

280
00:21:54.530 --> 00:21:56.140
-What--

281
00:21:56.184 --> 00:21:58.969
Oh, you guys had
a little something, right?

282
00:21:59.013 --> 00:22:04.105
-Oh, no. Come on.
We were just kids.

283
00:22:04.148 --> 00:22:05.846
But he was my first kiss.

284
00:22:05.889 --> 00:22:08.065
-Well, now.

285
00:22:08.109 --> 00:22:10.546
Any rekindled feelings there?

286
00:22:10.590 --> 00:22:12.940
-I don't know. Maybe.

287
00:22:12.983 --> 00:22:14.811
-He's ridiculously cute.

288
00:22:14.855 --> 00:22:16.291
-It probably won't even matter.

289
00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:17.858
In all likelihood,
I won't be spending

290
00:22:17.901 --> 00:22:20.774
very much time down here
in the future anyway.

291
00:22:20.817 --> 00:22:22.689
-I believe in angels, you know.

292
00:22:22.732 --> 00:22:24.473
-Please.

293
00:22:24.517 --> 00:22:26.345
We're getting way
too ahead of ourselves.

294
00:22:26.388 --> 00:22:28.956
-A girl can dream, can't she?

295
00:22:28.999 --> 00:22:30.523
-Oh,

296
00:22:30.566 --> 00:22:33.134
I had such a crush
on him when we were kids.

297
00:22:33.177 --> 00:22:36.311
I think I cried for a week
when he left.

298
00:22:36.355 --> 00:22:39.793
-Well, just be careful.

299
00:22:39.836 --> 00:22:41.534
Rumor is, he's got a reputation.

300
00:22:41.577 --> 00:22:44.363
-Reputation for what?

301
00:22:44.406 --> 00:22:46.930
-It's just what
people say about him.

302
00:22:46.974 --> 00:22:48.497
Be careful, you hear me?

303
00:22:48.541 --> 00:22:50.978
-Oh, thanks, Mom.

304
00:24:02.266 --> 00:24:05.487
-Good morning, sunshine.
-Hi.

305
00:24:05.531 --> 00:24:07.620
I--I fell asleep on the couch.

306
00:24:07.663 --> 00:24:09.578
-Good thing you had
your Santa hat on.

307
00:24:11.798 --> 00:24:14.714
-It was for inspiration.
-Ah.

308
00:24:14.757 --> 00:24:16.846
-Come in.
I'll put on some coffee,

309
00:24:16.890 --> 00:24:19.022
-I actually brought you some.

310
00:24:19.066 --> 00:24:21.285
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

311
00:24:21.329 --> 00:24:24.027
And I brought you
a breakfast sandwich.

312
00:24:24.071 --> 00:24:26.639
-Gosh, thank you so much.
The house doesn't have any food.

313
00:24:26.682 --> 00:24:28.031
I haven't had a chance
to go to the store yet.

314
00:24:28.075 --> 00:24:31.948
-Yeah, I figured.
-What time is it?

315
00:24:31.992 --> 00:24:35.996
-7:00.
-You do start early.

316
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.346
-Yeah, I've always been
a bit of an early riser.

317
00:24:38.389 --> 00:24:40.435
I like to walk on the beach
first thing in the morning.

318
00:24:40.479 --> 00:24:41.784
Best time of day.

319
00:24:41.828 --> 00:24:44.221
-Have you been already?
-Yep.

320
00:24:44.265 --> 00:24:45.919
Maybe I'll take you with me
one of these mornings.

321
00:24:45.962 --> 00:24:48.356
-Yeah.

322
00:24:48.399 --> 00:24:51.054
-Oh, wow.

323
00:24:51.098 --> 00:24:53.361
You have
a fake Christmas tree?

324
00:24:53.404 --> 00:24:54.754
-Yeah.

325
00:24:54.797 --> 00:24:57.626
Like, in the box. It's--

326
00:24:57.670 --> 00:25:00.542
That's not not going to do.

327
00:25:00.586 --> 00:25:02.370
-Of course it will do.

328
00:25:02.413 --> 00:25:05.547
-I mean, not if you're trying
to impress anyone.

329
00:25:05.591 --> 00:25:08.115
-What are you talking about?
It's completely practical.

330
00:25:08.158 --> 00:25:10.117
You set it up
and then when Christmas is over,

331
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:12.293
you stuff it back in the box and
you're good to go for next year.

332
00:25:12.336 --> 00:25:13.729
It's what we've always done.

333
00:25:13.773 --> 00:25:17.037
-Okay. Suit yourself.

334
00:25:17.080 --> 00:25:18.778
-Are you getting self-righteous
right now

335
00:25:18.821 --> 00:25:20.562
about a Christmas tree?

336
00:25:20.606 --> 00:25:24.087
-I'm just saying, it's...
you know.

337
00:25:24.131 --> 00:25:25.828
-I don't have time
to go get a real tree anyway.

338
00:25:25.872 --> 00:25:28.527
-Okay, well,
I'd better to get to work.

339
00:25:28.570 --> 00:25:31.181
I wanted to see the house
in the morning light.

340
00:25:31.225 --> 00:25:34.054
-Thank you for the coffee.
-You're welcome.

341
00:25:39.450 --> 00:25:43.280
Mm.

342
00:26:18.141 --> 00:26:19.403
Hmm.

343
00:26:19.447 --> 00:26:21.101
Painter's block?

344
00:26:21.144 --> 00:26:25.409
-Something like that.
-I can relate.

345
00:26:25.453 --> 00:26:28.978
Blank canvas is probably
as intimidating as a blank page.

346
00:26:29.022 --> 00:26:31.720
-I actually can't get over how
big the red beech has gotten.

347
00:26:31.764 --> 00:26:34.418
I remember being like
half the size.

348
00:26:34.462 --> 00:26:37.857
-Yeah, it's my favorite tree.

349
00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:39.641
-Secret fort
in the cedar bushes?

350
00:26:39.685 --> 00:26:41.512
-Still there.

351
00:26:41.556 --> 00:26:45.212
-Hmm.

352
00:26:45.255 --> 00:26:47.257
-Listen, I know you said you
wanted a painting of the house,

353
00:26:47.301 --> 00:26:48.998
but...

354
00:26:49.042 --> 00:26:50.739
as I was sitting there,
I started thinking,

355
00:26:50.783 --> 00:26:55.570
is it really the house
or is it this?

356
00:26:55.614 --> 00:26:59.008
-I hadn't considered that.

357
00:26:59.052 --> 00:27:01.663
-What is your absolute
favorite memory of this place?

358
00:27:38.091 --> 00:27:42.008
-My favorite memories
are down on the beach.

359
00:27:42.051 --> 00:27:43.705
-I thought so.

360
00:27:43.749 --> 00:27:46.316
-But without the house,
no beach.

361
00:27:46.360 --> 00:27:48.057
-Exactly.

362
00:27:48.101 --> 00:27:49.885
C'mere.

363
00:27:54.629 --> 00:27:59.547
Okay. Here, sit down.

364
00:27:59.590 --> 00:28:01.157
This is what I'm saying.

365
00:28:01.201 --> 00:28:06.859
You see, it is this view
framed in by the porch.

366
00:28:06.902 --> 00:28:09.209
It's special.

367
00:28:09.252 --> 00:28:11.385
-You're so right.

368
00:28:11.428 --> 00:28:13.126
-"Home is more than
bricks and blocks

369
00:28:13.169 --> 00:28:15.258
and windows and locks.

370
00:28:15.302 --> 00:28:20.220
A home is more than a bed or
where you rest your head."

371
00:28:20.263 --> 00:28:23.571
Somebody very wise
once wrote that.

372
00:28:23.614 --> 00:28:28.228
-"Your home is within you."

373
00:28:28.271 --> 00:28:29.708
-I'm gonna
bring my stuff up here.

374
00:28:33.407 --> 00:28:34.713
Hey, so how did you get into

375
00:28:34.756 --> 00:28:38.586
writing children's books,
anyway?

376
00:28:38.629 --> 00:28:40.196
-I don't know.

377
00:28:43.025 --> 00:28:46.899
I guess I've always loved the
way that children see the world.

378
00:28:46.942 --> 00:28:50.250
Naive,
but inquisitive and honest.

379
00:28:50.293 --> 00:28:52.034
-That makes sense.

380
00:28:52.078 --> 00:28:53.949
-Plus, reading's always been
such an escape for me.

381
00:28:53.993 --> 00:28:56.082
- Anne of Green Gables, right?

382
00:28:56.125 --> 00:28:57.779
-I can't believe you
remember that.

383
00:28:57.823 --> 00:29:00.608
Yeah, I have that book
upstairs in my room.

384
00:29:00.651 --> 00:29:02.479
-No way.
-Yeah.

385
00:29:02.523 --> 00:29:04.612
That's the book that
made me want to be an author.

386
00:29:04.655 --> 00:29:06.092
Not that my children's books

387
00:29:06.135 --> 00:29:07.876
hold a candle
to Lucy Maud Montgomery,

388
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.793
but least I can give back
a little bit.

389
00:29:11.837 --> 00:29:13.142
Here, let me help you.

390
00:29:13.186 --> 00:29:15.928
-Oh, thanks.

391
00:29:15.971 --> 00:29:17.886
So do you want kids
of your own one day?

392
00:29:17.930 --> 00:29:20.280
-Yeah, if the right person
comes along.

393
00:29:20.323 --> 00:29:21.716
-Hmm.
-You?

394
00:29:21.760 --> 00:29:23.979
-Definitely,
as long as they're boys.

395
00:29:24.023 --> 00:29:27.417
No, I'm kidding.

396
00:29:27.461 --> 00:29:29.463
-I've been meaning to ask,
where are you living now?

397
00:29:29.506 --> 00:29:31.247
-I actually got a little place
down by the water.

398
00:29:31.291 --> 00:29:33.815
-Oh.
-Next to a lighthouse

399
00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:34.990
that you might remember.

400
00:29:35.034 --> 00:29:37.732
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.

401
00:29:37.776 --> 00:29:39.647
-Is it just you, or...?

402
00:29:39.690 --> 00:29:44.870
-It is just me, but I do have
a special lady in my life.

403
00:29:44.913 --> 00:29:47.437
-Oh.
-Yeah, her name's Maggie.

404
00:29:47.481 --> 00:29:51.050
-What's she like?
-Well, she's got brown hair.

405
00:29:51.093 --> 00:29:55.315
She's about 80 pounds
and she drools a lot.

406
00:29:55.358 --> 00:29:59.406
-She sounds lovely.
-Maggie is my chocolate lab.

407
00:29:59.449 --> 00:30:01.234
I was in a relationship
not too long ago,

408
00:30:01.277 --> 00:30:03.714
but we wanted different things.

409
00:30:03.758 --> 00:30:05.629
-Is that why you moved back?

410
00:30:05.673 --> 00:30:07.327
-I'd rather not talk about it,
if that's okay.

411
00:30:07.370 --> 00:30:10.504
Just -- old relationships
are super boring.

412
00:30:10.547 --> 00:30:13.420
-Yeah, you're right.

413
00:30:13.463 --> 00:30:15.161
-Hey, do you remember
when we were kids

414
00:30:15.204 --> 00:30:18.468
and you gave me
that little compass?

415
00:30:18.512 --> 00:30:19.861
-Of course.

416
00:30:19.905 --> 00:30:21.210
-I was just about to
move to Michigan,

417
00:30:21.254 --> 00:30:23.256
and you told me that
I could use it

418
00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:25.040
to find my way back home.

419
00:30:25.084 --> 00:30:27.347
-Exactly.

420
00:30:27.390 --> 00:30:28.957
-I guess it worked.

421
00:31:03.470 --> 00:31:05.080
-I guess it did.

422
00:31:52.084 --> 00:31:54.956
-Hey, sorry I'm late.
I was cutting this thing down.

423
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.480
-Christian!
-What you think? Is it too tall?

424
00:31:57.524 --> 00:31:58.873
If it is, I can trim the bottom.

425
00:31:58.917 --> 00:32:00.962
-I told you I didn't need
a real tree.

426
00:32:01.006 --> 00:32:02.616
-Yeah, and I think you do,

427
00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:04.052
because Christmas is not
the time for practicality.

428
00:32:04.096 --> 00:32:05.662
It's the time for authenticity,

429
00:32:05.706 --> 00:32:08.404
especially if you want to
impress your siblings.

430
00:32:08.448 --> 00:32:10.319
-I don't know what to say.
-Say "thank you."

431
00:32:10.363 --> 00:32:12.800
-Thank you.

432
00:32:12.843 --> 00:32:15.890
-You're welcome. Come on,
let me help you set it up.

433
00:32:15.934 --> 00:32:17.718
-I cannot believe this.

434
00:32:17.761 --> 00:32:20.982
-It was just sitting there,
begging to be cut down.

435
00:32:23.158 --> 00:32:25.117
Okay, how's that?
Is it straight?

436
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.770
-Hang on. Uh, nope.

437
00:32:26.814 --> 00:32:28.772
-No?
-This way.

438
00:32:28.816 --> 00:32:29.904
Okay, right there.
Tighten that up.

439
00:32:29.948 --> 00:32:32.037
-Okay.

440
00:32:32.080 --> 00:32:33.429
Got it.

441
00:32:33.473 --> 00:32:36.955
-Oh.
-Wow.

442
00:32:36.998 --> 00:32:38.478
-Thanks.

443
00:32:38.521 --> 00:32:40.306
-Tell me again
why practical is bad?

444
00:32:40.349 --> 00:32:41.785
-Oh, come on.

445
00:32:41.829 --> 00:32:43.526
You got to admit,

446
00:32:43.570 --> 00:32:46.225
a real tree
is way more Christmas-y.

447
00:32:46.268 --> 00:32:47.748
Can't beat that smell.

448
00:32:47.791 --> 00:32:50.446
-It does smell wonderful.

449
00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:52.622
-It'll make a difference,
even if it only

450
00:32:52.666 --> 00:32:56.931
elevates your Christmas spirit
a degree or two.

451
00:32:56.975 --> 00:33:00.021
-It was very thoughtful of you.
I really appreciate it.

452
00:33:00.065 --> 00:33:03.198
Thank you.
-You're welcome.

453
00:33:26.569 --> 00:33:28.310
-Hey, sis!

454
00:33:28.354 --> 00:33:29.746
I'm just unloading
the car from the grocery store

455
00:33:29.790 --> 00:33:31.270
I'm making Grandma's pot roast
for dinner.

456
00:33:31.313 --> 00:33:33.141
-Alright.

457
00:33:33.185 --> 00:33:34.664
I guess we sort of have to have
the pot roast, don't we?

458
00:33:34.708 --> 00:33:36.101
-Of course you have
to make the pot roast.

459
00:33:36.144 --> 00:33:38.407
We always make the pot roast.

460
00:33:38.451 --> 00:33:39.887
Alright, well,
we'll be down there

461
00:33:39.930 --> 00:33:41.758
sometime around noon
day after tomorrow,

462
00:33:41.802 --> 00:33:43.804
so hopefully we'll be there
in time for dinner.

463
00:33:43.847 --> 00:33:46.241
-Cool, I was thinking we could
just have Chinese that night.

464
00:33:46.285 --> 00:33:49.114
-Oh, that sounds great.
Anything else you need?

465
00:33:49.157 --> 00:33:53.814
-Mm, some wine.
-I'm on it.

466
00:33:53.857 --> 00:33:56.338
-Hey, do you remember
Christian Williams?

467
00:33:56.382 --> 00:33:59.776
-Oh, my gosh, wow. Course.

468
00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.951
You two were inseparable.

469
00:34:00.995 --> 00:34:03.258
-He's here.
-What?

470
00:34:03.302 --> 00:34:05.043
-Yeah, it's kind of
a long story.

471
00:34:05.086 --> 00:34:06.131
I'll tell you all
about it later.

472
00:34:06.174 --> 00:34:08.872
-No, no, no. Margot, spill it.

473
00:34:08.916 --> 00:34:11.223
-Jeez, I bet he grew up
to be incredibly hot.

474
00:34:11.266 --> 00:34:12.572
-Times ten.

475
00:34:12.615 --> 00:34:14.878
-Margot!

476
00:34:14.922 --> 00:34:16.750
-Alright, I got to go.
I'll talk to you later.

477
00:34:16.793 --> 00:34:18.665
- Margot --
-Bye!

478
00:34:18.708 --> 00:34:22.016
-Don't--did you
just hang up on me?

479
00:34:22.060 --> 00:34:23.974
You did, didn't you?

480
00:34:24.018 --> 00:34:25.585
You're unbelievable.

481
00:35:57.590 --> 00:36:00.636
-Hey.
-Hi.

482
00:36:00.680 --> 00:36:02.203
-How long you been
standing there?

483
00:36:02.247 --> 00:36:04.249
-Not long. How's it going?

484
00:36:04.292 --> 00:36:07.077
-Oh, no, you don't get to see
until it's done.

485
00:36:07.121 --> 00:36:09.732
-Come on.
-No, stop. Uh-uh.

486
00:36:09.776 --> 00:36:12.431
-Okay, well,
I could use some help

487
00:36:12.474 --> 00:36:15.085
decorating that gorgeous
Christmas tree you brought me.

488
00:36:15.129 --> 00:36:16.609
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

489
00:36:16.652 --> 00:36:18.611
You want to take
a break and give me a hand?

490
00:36:18.654 --> 00:36:20.178
-Sure.

491
00:36:20.221 --> 00:36:22.745
We've got about
an hour until sunset.

492
00:36:22.789 --> 00:36:24.182
I don't wanna miss that light.

493
00:36:24.225 --> 00:36:26.488
-Okay.
-Okay.

494
00:36:30.188 --> 00:36:33.887
Oh, hey, it's starting
to look pretty good.

495
00:36:33.930 --> 00:36:35.845
-Yeah, we still have
a long way to go.

496
00:36:35.889 --> 00:36:39.719
-Yeah.

497
00:36:39.762 --> 00:36:43.810
-Oh. I know this girl.

498
00:36:43.853 --> 00:36:45.725
-No. No, no!
Give me that. Give me that.

499
00:36:45.768 --> 00:36:48.815
-Oh, come on.

500
00:36:48.858 --> 00:36:50.338
You were adorable.

501
00:36:55.691 --> 00:36:57.258
-So are you going
to help me or what?

502
00:36:57.302 --> 00:36:58.781
-Yeah. Yeah, sorry.

503
00:36:58.825 --> 00:37:01.044
-Okay.
-Okay, what do you need?

504
00:37:01.088 --> 00:37:02.872
-Hand me the box.
-Box.

505
00:37:49.789 --> 00:37:54.010
-I can see that
it's a chocolate bar now.

506
00:37:58.798 --> 00:38:01.801
Yeah. You got it?

507
00:38:01.844 --> 00:38:03.933
Thank you.

508
00:38:25.955 --> 00:38:28.131
-Hey.
-Hey.

509
00:38:28.175 --> 00:38:29.655
-I made us some hot chocolate.

510
00:38:29.698 --> 00:38:34.224
-Oh.

511
00:38:34.268 --> 00:38:36.749
-Ooh, that is good. Thank you.

512
00:38:36.792 --> 00:38:38.664
-Well, thank you
for all of your help.

513
00:38:38.707 --> 00:38:40.448
I could not have
done this without you.

514
00:38:40.492 --> 00:38:42.363
-It's my pleasure.

515
00:38:42.407 --> 00:38:44.974
-Sorry I didn't leave you
very much time to paint.

516
00:38:45.018 --> 00:38:47.063
-That's okay.
I'm making mental notes.

517
00:38:47.107 --> 00:38:49.327
I'll get back to it tomorrow.

518
00:38:49.370 --> 00:38:53.896
-You know,
seeing the place like this,

519
00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:56.986
I have no idea
how I'm going to let it go.

520
00:38:57.030 --> 00:38:58.379
-Do you have to let it go?

521
00:38:58.423 --> 00:39:00.468
-Yeah, I don't really
have a choice.

522
00:39:00.512 --> 00:39:03.558
My siblings want to sell it,
particularly my brother,

523
00:39:03.602 --> 00:39:07.257
-But you don't want to sell.
-Are you kidding? No.

524
00:39:07.301 --> 00:39:10.565
-Well, it sounds like you
might have some thinking to do.

525
00:39:10.609 --> 00:39:13.220
-Yeah, I guess you're right.

526
00:39:13.263 --> 00:39:15.048
You have been
so incredibly helpful.

527
00:39:15.091 --> 00:39:17.833
Can I take you
to dinner tonight?

528
00:39:17.877 --> 00:39:19.531
-Ahh...

529
00:39:19.574 --> 00:39:25.275
I'm--I'm sorry, I can't,
but maybe some other time.

530
00:39:25.319 --> 00:39:27.365
-Okay, sure.

531
00:39:27.408 --> 00:39:30.193
-But I will be back tomorrow
to paint.

532
00:39:30.237 --> 00:39:33.109
-Okay. Yeah, yeah.

533
00:39:33.153 --> 00:39:34.850
I should work on my book anyway.

534
00:39:34.894 --> 00:39:36.983
It's not going to write itself.

535
00:39:37.026 --> 00:39:39.028
-Yeah.

536
00:39:42.336 --> 00:39:45.905
-Here you go. Thank you.

537
00:39:45.948 --> 00:39:47.254
Um.

538
00:39:47.297 --> 00:39:48.777
I'll see you tomorrow.

539
00:39:48.821 --> 00:39:50.605
Oh, and please don't look
at the painting yet,

540
00:39:50.649 --> 00:39:52.302
'cause it's not ready.

541
00:39:52.346 --> 00:39:54.435
Promise?

542
00:39:54.479 --> 00:39:55.828
-I promise.

543
00:39:55.871 --> 00:39:58.787
-Okay. Have a nice night.

544
00:40:44.180 --> 00:40:47.662
-Margot, sweetheart,
where have you been?

545
00:40:47.706 --> 00:40:48.924
-Hey, Judith.

546
00:40:48.968 --> 00:40:50.883
Sorry, I go away
for the holidays.

547
00:40:50.926 --> 00:40:53.973
-Holidays, schmalidays.
Where are my pages?

548
00:40:54.016 --> 00:40:56.454
Publishing waits for no one.
- I know.

549
00:40:56.497 --> 00:40:58.412
I promise I'll have
something brilliant for you

550
00:40:58.456 --> 00:40:59.979
in the next few days.

551
00:41:00.022 --> 00:41:01.371
-Mm, okay, doll.

552
00:41:01.415 --> 00:41:02.938
Where do you go again
every year?

553
00:41:02.982 --> 00:41:04.331
Nantucket?

554
00:41:04.374 --> 00:41:08.378
-Cape Cod.
- Right.

555
00:41:08.422 --> 00:41:10.337
-That's -- that's actually
one of the things

556
00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:12.295
that I wanted to
talk to you about.

557
00:41:12.339 --> 00:41:13.732
-What do you need?

558
00:41:13.775 --> 00:41:15.603
-I was wondering
if it might be possible

559
00:41:15.647 --> 00:41:18.258
to get an advance
on my next book.

560
00:41:18.301 --> 00:41:20.826
I've decided I want to buy
my family's Cape house

561
00:41:20.869 --> 00:41:23.655
and my brother and sister
don't really want to sell it,

562
00:41:23.698 --> 00:41:26.266
and some extra money
could help me figure it all out.

563
00:41:26.309 --> 00:41:30.226
-Honey, you know I'd love
to negotiate in advance for you,

564
00:41:30.270 --> 00:41:32.881
but -- --
the sales on your last book

565
00:41:32.925 --> 00:41:35.188
weren't quite what
the publisher expected.

566
00:41:35.231 --> 00:41:37.103
I'm really not sure
I can get approval

567
00:41:37.146 --> 00:41:38.757
for something like that.

568
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:40.280
I can barely get advances on

569
00:41:40.323 --> 00:41:41.760
our established
children's authors.

570
00:41:41.803 --> 00:41:43.588
-Right.

571
00:41:43.631 --> 00:41:46.852
I guess I'll just reason
with my unreasonable siblings.

572
00:41:46.895 --> 00:41:48.941
Do you know, we've come here
every year since I was a kid?

573
00:41:48.984 --> 00:41:52.858
- Hmm. Sounds darling.

574
00:41:52.901 --> 00:41:54.555
-How could they want
to sell this place?

575
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:55.991
-What, dear?

576
00:41:56.035 --> 00:41:57.689
-Nothing.

577
00:41:57.732 --> 00:42:01.606
-So what's your next book?
How far into it are you?

578
00:42:01.649 --> 00:42:05.044
-Oh, about halfway.

579
00:42:05.087 --> 00:42:09.048
Um, it's about a...
family tree at Christmas.

580
00:42:09.091 --> 00:42:11.050
-Mmm.

581
00:42:11.093 --> 00:42:13.574
Why don't you write another book
because your character Caroline?

582
00:42:13.618 --> 00:42:15.576
People love a series.

583
00:42:15.620 --> 00:42:17.752
-Or I could do that.

584
00:42:17.796 --> 00:42:20.494
- I'm sorry I can't get you
that advanced, Margot.

585
00:42:20.538 --> 00:42:24.237
Maybe if you or a little more
well-known internationally.

586
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.282
Let's try to get you there,
okay, doll?

587
00:42:26.326 --> 00:42:27.980
-Okay.

588
00:42:28.023 --> 00:42:30.852
Hey, merry Christmas.
-You too, kiddo.

589
00:43:08.020 --> 00:43:10.283
-Good morning.

590
00:43:10.326 --> 00:43:11.763
-Is everything okay?
What time is it?

591
00:43:11.806 --> 00:43:14.156
-Oh, yeah, everything's okay.
It's early.

592
00:43:14.200 --> 00:43:16.768
Do you want to go for that
walk on the beach with me?

593
00:43:16.811 --> 00:43:18.813
-Wow, you are a morning person,
aren't you?

594
00:43:18.857 --> 00:43:22.774
-Yeah. Coffee?

595
00:43:22.817 --> 00:43:24.950
Plus, I want to
show you something.

596
00:43:24.993 --> 00:43:27.474
Go get dressed.
I'll meet you out front.

597
00:43:37.049 --> 00:43:39.007
-I've never seen it like this.

598
00:43:39.051 --> 00:43:42.663
-Something about it, right?

599
00:43:42.707 --> 00:43:44.360
-Magical.

600
00:43:46.841 --> 00:43:51.324
-We get so caught up in our busy
lives and our cellphones,

601
00:43:51.367 --> 00:43:54.849
we forget to stop and take in
where we are.

602
00:43:54.893 --> 00:43:57.722
-I think this might be
my favorite place on Earth.

603
00:43:57.765 --> 00:44:00.681
-Me too. It's why I came back.

604
00:44:00.725 --> 00:44:03.597
Maggie! Come here.

605
00:44:03.641 --> 00:44:05.599
Come here.

606
00:44:05.643 --> 00:44:07.862
-Hi. What's up?

607
00:44:10.473 --> 00:44:12.040
What are you going to do
if you have to sell the house?

608
00:44:12.084 --> 00:44:14.129
-I don't know,

609
00:44:14.173 --> 00:44:16.262
but I think it's
going to break my heart.

610
00:44:20.745 --> 00:44:24.400
Do you remember when we used to
dig up quahogs under the dock?

611
00:44:26.315 --> 00:44:27.969
Do you remember when we carved
our initials under there?

612
00:44:31.103 --> 00:44:32.539
I'll race you.

613
00:44:32.582 --> 00:44:34.541
-Oh, like the good old days.

614
00:44:34.584 --> 00:44:36.021
On three?
-Mm-hmm.

615
00:44:36.064 --> 00:44:37.675
-Okay.

616
00:44:37.718 --> 00:44:39.285
-One.
-Uh-huh.

617
00:44:39.328 --> 00:44:41.156
-Two.

618
00:44:46.248 --> 00:44:47.728
You're such a cheater!

619
00:44:47.772 --> 00:44:50.470
-Maggie, come on!

620
00:44:53.212 --> 00:44:54.735
-Do you see it?

621
00:44:54.779 --> 00:44:57.042
-No.
-Ahh.

622
00:44:57.085 --> 00:45:00.306
-Oh, hey, here it is.

623
00:45:00.349 --> 00:45:01.916
-Wow.

624
00:45:04.005 --> 00:45:06.442
-So many years have gone by.

625
00:45:06.486 --> 00:45:08.096
It's still there.

626
00:45:10.011 --> 00:45:12.057
-Yeah.

627
00:45:15.974 --> 00:45:18.977
-We should probably get going.

628
00:45:19.020 --> 00:45:21.066
-Why, what's the rush?

629
00:45:24.330 --> 00:45:25.679
-My family's coming,

630
00:45:25.723 --> 00:45:28.726
and you need
to finish your painting,

631
00:45:28.769 --> 00:45:32.077
and I don't want to hurt you
when I leave.

632
00:45:32.120 --> 00:45:35.645
-Yeah. Right.

633
00:45:40.825 --> 00:45:42.827
Maggie, c'mon.

634
00:46:04.762 --> 00:46:06.415
-Hey, how's it going?

635
00:46:06.459 --> 00:46:08.374
-Uh, pretty good.

636
00:46:08.417 --> 00:46:11.725
-Do you want some tea?

637
00:46:11.769 --> 00:46:14.032
-No, thank you.

638
00:46:14.075 --> 00:46:16.121
Listen, I'm going to take the
painting home with me tonight

639
00:46:16.164 --> 00:46:18.819
and then work on
the finishing touches there.

640
00:46:18.863 --> 00:46:21.822
-Oh, okay.

641
00:46:21.866 --> 00:46:23.781
Do you think you're
going to be done in time?

642
00:46:23.824 --> 00:46:27.741
-Yeah, absolutely.

643
00:46:27.785 --> 00:46:30.178
-But you won't be
coming by tomorrow?

644
00:46:30.222 --> 00:46:34.922
-Uh, no, I think you should
probably be with your family.

645
00:46:34.966 --> 00:46:37.490
Let them know how you feel
about selling the house.

646
00:46:37.533 --> 00:46:40.623
-Yeah, sure.
-I don't wanna be in the way.

647
00:46:40.667 --> 00:46:42.712
Plus, it'll ruin the surprise.

648
00:46:45.367 --> 00:46:47.456
-Yeah.
Yeah, I guess you're right.

649
00:46:47.500 --> 00:46:49.850
-Yeah, but...

650
00:46:49.894 --> 00:46:54.855
you could call me or text me
and let me know how it's going.

651
00:46:54.899 --> 00:46:57.815
-Okay, I'll do that.

652
00:46:57.858 --> 00:47:01.427
-Okay.

653
00:47:01.470 --> 00:47:04.212
-So I guess I'll see you
Christmas Eve?

654
00:47:04.256 --> 00:47:07.259
-Yeah, I'll see you
Christmas Eve.

655
00:47:09.870 --> 00:47:11.480
Don't look at it.

656
00:47:41.946 --> 00:47:44.296
-Hey!
-Hi!

657
00:47:44.339 --> 00:47:47.212
-Merry Christmas!
-Merry Christmas!

658
00:47:47.255 --> 00:47:49.475
-How was the drive?
-Not too bad.

659
00:47:49.518 --> 00:47:51.390
So how are you? You look great.

660
00:47:51.433 --> 00:47:52.695
-I'm so glad you're here.

661
00:47:52.739 --> 00:47:54.088
-Hey, Margot.
-Hey, Jeff. Hey!

662
00:47:54.132 --> 00:47:55.655
-Hi, Aunt Margot!

663
00:47:55.698 --> 00:47:57.439
-I'm so glad you could make it!

664
00:47:57.483 --> 00:48:00.442
-I'm going to go check out
the fort in the cedar bush.

665
00:48:00.486 --> 00:48:03.010
-Can you believe this wind?
-Oh, my gosh.

666
00:48:38.002 --> 00:48:40.613
-What is it?

667
00:48:40.656 --> 00:48:43.442
-Uh -- deja vu.

668
00:48:43.485 --> 00:48:46.532
Christian and I were that
exact same age when we...

669
00:48:46.575 --> 00:48:47.968
-Have you seen him?

670
00:48:48.012 --> 00:48:49.883
-Yeah.

671
00:48:49.927 --> 00:48:51.319
-Well?

672
00:48:51.363 --> 00:48:53.495
Enough already. Spill it!

673
00:48:53.539 --> 00:48:56.368
-Not right now.
-Come on.

674
00:48:56.411 --> 00:48:59.545
Hey, Ace, honey!
-What?

675
00:48:59.588 --> 00:49:01.242
Come on, let's wait till
we unpack, okay?

676
00:49:01.286 --> 00:49:03.288
-Aw, Mom!

677
00:49:03.331 --> 00:49:05.812
-Come on.

678
00:49:05.855 --> 00:49:07.640
-Don't worry. I got these.

679
00:49:13.602 --> 00:49:15.300
-Whoa.

680
00:49:15.343 --> 00:49:19.173
-Margot, you did all this?
-Yep.

681
00:49:19.217 --> 00:49:22.785
It's mostly our old decorations
mixed in with a few new ones.

682
00:49:22.829 --> 00:49:25.353
-Yeah, and all the poinsettias
on Cape Cod.

683
00:49:25.397 --> 00:49:27.225
It looks really wonderful.

684
00:49:27.268 --> 00:49:29.923
Boy, if
Mom and Dad could see this.

685
00:49:29.967 --> 00:49:33.492
Oh, Grandma's Santas!
I always loved these.

686
00:49:33.535 --> 00:49:35.059
-What's the big deal?

687
00:49:35.102 --> 00:49:37.191
-Well, Grandma Mary
used to collect Santas,

688
00:49:37.235 --> 00:49:40.934
and then she passed them down
to our mom, your grandma, Angie.

689
00:49:40.978 --> 00:49:44.024
Oh, we should continue
that tradition.

690
00:49:44.068 --> 00:49:47.636
-Whoa. Am I in the wrong place?
Is this the North Pole?

691
00:49:47.680 --> 00:49:49.508
-Very funny.
-Lame joke, Dad.

692
00:49:49.551 --> 00:49:51.814
-Looks great, Margot.
Nice job, really.

693
00:49:51.858 --> 00:49:53.425
-Thanks.
Your rooms are all set up,

694
00:49:53.468 --> 00:49:54.600
if you want to
take your luggage up.

695
00:49:54.643 --> 00:49:56.819
-Alright, thanks.

696
00:49:56.863 --> 00:49:59.997
-You've become quite
the hostess, haven't you?

697
00:50:00.040 --> 00:50:02.042
-Just trying to make
a good impression.

698
00:50:02.086 --> 00:50:05.002
-Oh, I've been meaning to
read your last book.

699
00:50:05.045 --> 00:50:07.308
We've just been so busy
with Ace's hockey.

700
00:50:07.352 --> 00:50:08.701
-Oh, that's okay.
Don't worry about it.

701
00:50:08.744 --> 00:50:11.486
-Is something burning?
-The cookies!

702
00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:16.535
No, no, no, no, no!

703
00:50:16.578 --> 00:50:18.493
Ahh!

704
00:50:18.537 --> 00:50:21.235
-Everything okay?
-I burned the cookies!

705
00:50:21.279 --> 00:50:22.628
-Don't worry about it.

706
00:50:22.671 --> 00:50:24.978
-No, I want everything
to be perfect.

707
00:50:25.022 --> 00:50:27.589
-Everything's great.

708
00:50:27.633 --> 00:50:29.635
You okay? You seem off.

709
00:50:31.593 --> 00:50:32.768
-Yeah, everything's fine.

710
00:50:32.812 --> 00:50:34.640
I just --

711
00:50:34.683 --> 00:50:36.598
I'll tell you about it later.
It's okay.

712
00:50:36.642 --> 00:50:38.687
You go up, get settled.

713
00:50:38.731 --> 00:50:40.733
-Okay, well, don't worry
about the cookies.

714
00:50:40.776 --> 00:50:42.213
I like mine
a little crunchy anyway.

715
00:50:42.256 --> 00:50:43.736
-Me, too.

716
00:50:50.308 --> 00:50:52.092
Have you heard
anything from Tom?

717
00:50:52.136 --> 00:50:53.789
-No, nothing.

718
00:50:53.833 --> 00:50:57.967
He's supposed to arrive
tomorrow, but who knows?

719
00:50:58.011 --> 00:51:01.754
But forget about him.
Tell me about Christian.

720
00:51:01.797 --> 00:51:04.409
I haven't heard
that name in years.

721
00:51:04.452 --> 00:51:06.367
Boy, did you
have a crush on him.

722
00:51:06.411 --> 00:51:09.066
-Was it that obvious?
-Obvious?

723
00:51:09.109 --> 00:51:11.459
The whole town knew it.
-Oh, get out of here.

724
00:51:11.503 --> 00:51:13.113
So what's he doing now?

725
00:51:13.157 --> 00:51:15.463
-He's an artist. He just
opened a gallery in town.

726
00:51:15.507 --> 00:51:17.074
-Wow.

727
00:51:17.117 --> 00:51:19.685
Is he single?

728
00:51:19.728 --> 00:51:21.687
-Yeah.

729
00:51:21.730 --> 00:51:23.515
-So...

730
00:51:23.558 --> 00:51:25.647
what are you waiting for?

731
00:51:25.691 --> 00:51:27.301
-It's not that simple.

732
00:51:27.345 --> 00:51:29.825
We were just kids.
You can't relive the past.

733
00:51:29.869 --> 00:51:32.176
-Why not?

734
00:51:34.091 --> 00:51:35.962
-Oh, must be the Chinese food.

735
00:51:38.747 --> 00:51:41.359
-Hong Kong Cafe.
-Hi, thank you.

736
00:51:41.402 --> 00:51:44.666
-Thanks. Have a good night.

737
00:51:44.710 --> 00:51:46.059
-Dinner is here!

738
00:51:56.200 --> 00:51:57.897
-This looks great, Margot.

739
00:51:57.940 --> 00:51:59.942
-It's really good.
-Yeah, this is awesome.

740
00:51:59.986 --> 00:52:02.423
-I slaved.

741
00:52:02.467 --> 00:52:04.512
-Here, I'll pass that
down to you.

742
00:52:06.297 --> 00:52:07.689
-I'd like to make a toast.

743
00:52:07.733 --> 00:52:11.432
-Ooh, okay.
-Okay.

744
00:52:11.476 --> 00:52:13.782
I would like to propose
a toast to Margot,

745
00:52:13.826 --> 00:52:15.523
for putting this all together

746
00:52:15.567 --> 00:52:19.788
and making our last Christmas
here so special.

747
00:52:19.832 --> 00:52:22.269
This is really a great tribute
to Mom and Dad.

748
00:52:22.313 --> 00:52:23.662
-To Margot!

749
00:52:23.705 --> 00:52:24.924
-To Margot.
-To Margot.

750
00:52:24.967 --> 00:52:27.796
-Cheers.

751
00:52:33.150 --> 00:52:34.716
-Margs, what is it?

752
00:52:38.242 --> 00:52:40.505
-I came here knowing that
this would be our last Christmas

753
00:52:40.548 --> 00:52:44.422
at this house
and here on the Cape.

754
00:52:44.465 --> 00:52:47.729
But after I got here and saw
how final all this was,

755
00:52:47.773 --> 00:52:51.124
I realized how much I really
don't want to sell this house.

756
00:52:51.168 --> 00:52:53.126
-Margot.

757
00:52:53.170 --> 00:52:57.783
We have so many memories here.
I don't want to let that go.

758
00:52:57.826 --> 00:53:01.265
-Well, Jeff,
you want to chime in?

759
00:53:01.308 --> 00:53:05.182
-It's not really my place.

760
00:53:05.225 --> 00:53:07.401
-I thought you knew
this was for the best.

761
00:53:07.445 --> 00:53:09.098
-Is it though?

762
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:13.538
-Margs, we could
really use the money.

763
00:53:13.581 --> 00:53:17.672
I mean, we have college
to think about.

764
00:53:17.716 --> 00:53:21.241
-Right, but it's not just
about the money for me.

765
00:53:21.285 --> 00:53:24.636
-This place will fall apart
if no one's here to maintain it.

766
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:27.726
Who's going to take care of it
when you go back to Boston?

767
00:53:27.769 --> 00:53:30.207
-I don't know. I haven't got
that far in my thinking yet.

768
00:53:30.250 --> 00:53:31.295
-Well, it sounds like
you haven't

769
00:53:31.338 --> 00:53:32.905
thought this through at all,

770
00:53:32.948 --> 00:53:34.994
that you're just basing it
on emotion.

771
00:53:35.037 --> 00:53:36.952
-And what's wrong with that?

772
00:53:36.996 --> 00:53:40.608
-It's too expensive to keep.
The property taxes alone.

773
00:53:40.652 --> 00:53:44.264
I mean, look, the realtor
already has a buyer lined up.

774
00:53:44.308 --> 00:53:47.441
All we have to do
is sign the papers.

775
00:53:47.485 --> 00:53:50.792
-I love this house and
I don't want to sell it.

776
00:53:50.836 --> 00:53:53.012
-Margot.

777
00:53:53.055 --> 00:53:54.753
-We already lost Mom and Dad.

778
00:53:54.796 --> 00:53:57.712
How can you let
this place go too?

779
00:53:57.756 --> 00:53:59.758
-Of course I miss Mom and Dad,

780
00:53:59.801 --> 00:54:02.674
but I was really hoping not to
have this kind of conversation.

781
00:54:02.717 --> 00:54:07.026
-Avoiding a conversation is not
the way to solve a problem.

782
00:54:07.069 --> 00:54:08.941
-Okay, think practically.

783
00:54:08.984 --> 00:54:12.031
Both Tom and I believe that this
is the best thing for all of us.

784
00:54:12.074 --> 00:54:13.380
-You know what?

785
00:54:13.424 --> 00:54:15.295
Christmas isn't the time
for practicality.

786
00:54:15.339 --> 00:54:17.689
If you'll excuse me,
I'm going for a walk.

787
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:21.813
-Margot?

788
00:56:21.856 --> 00:56:23.771
Hey.

789
00:56:24.990 --> 00:56:26.426
Oh, honey.

790
00:56:26.470 --> 00:56:28.036
Come on in.

791
00:56:39.831 --> 00:56:41.441
-Hey, you still awake?

792
00:56:41.485 --> 00:56:43.443
-Yeah.

793
00:56:43.487 --> 00:56:44.966
-What you reading?

794
00:56:45.010 --> 00:56:46.794
-Aunty Margot's book.

795
00:56:46.838 --> 00:56:50.929
-Cool. What do you think?

796
00:56:50.972 --> 00:56:53.148
-Why was she so upset
tonight at dinner?

797
00:57:01.635 --> 00:57:05.334
-She loves this house
and doesn't want to sell it.

798
00:57:05.378 --> 00:57:08.033
-Do you want to sell it?

799
00:57:08.076 --> 00:57:11.471
-Well, it's not really up to me.

800
00:57:11.515 --> 00:57:15.257
It's up to your mother
and her siblings.

801
00:57:15.301 --> 00:57:18.086
-I don't have to go
to college, Dad.

802
00:57:18.130 --> 00:57:19.958
I want to keep the house, too.

803
00:57:24.005 --> 00:57:25.572
-Did you read all the way
to the end of the book?

804
00:57:25.616 --> 00:57:27.182
-Yeah.

805
00:57:27.226 --> 00:57:28.749
-Read me
the last couple of pages.

806
00:57:31.099 --> 00:57:32.797
-"A home is more than
bricks and blocks

807
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:35.016
and windows and locks.

808
00:57:35.060 --> 00:57:37.758
A home is more than a bed
or where you rest your head.

809
00:57:39.934 --> 00:57:41.588
They say that home
is where the heart is,

810
00:57:41.632 --> 00:57:43.503
and Caroline knew
that to be true.

811
00:57:43.547 --> 00:57:48.595
What she didn't realize is
that your home is within you."

812
00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:51.468
-And what does
that mean to you?

813
00:57:51.511 --> 00:57:53.078
-I guess that no matter
where you go,

814
00:57:53.121 --> 00:57:54.688
you take your home with you?

815
00:57:54.732 --> 00:57:57.256
-That's right.

816
00:57:57.299 --> 00:58:01.390
We'll always have the memories
of this place in our hearts,

817
00:58:01.434 --> 00:58:03.088
and we'll always
have each other,

818
00:58:03.131 --> 00:58:05.394
no matter where we go,

819
00:58:05.438 --> 00:58:07.396
especially at Christmas time.

820
00:58:10.095 --> 00:58:14.055
-I still don't want to
sell the house, Dad.

821
00:58:14.099 --> 00:58:17.537
-I know.

822
00:58:17.581 --> 00:58:19.147
You get some sleep.

823
00:58:26.894 --> 00:58:30.202
-Good night, champ.
-Good night, Dad.

824
00:58:43.694 --> 00:58:45.739
-Hey.
-Hey.

825
00:58:47.045 --> 00:58:49.613
-Can we talk?

826
00:58:49.656 --> 00:58:51.310
-Sure.

827
00:58:56.533 --> 00:58:58.273
Why don't you sit down?

828
00:59:05.542 --> 00:59:08.327
-So I --
-Look...

829
00:59:08.370 --> 00:59:11.809
I shouldn't have
run out on you like that.

830
00:59:11.852 --> 00:59:13.724
-I did a lot of thinking
while you were gone.

831
00:59:13.767 --> 00:59:16.422
-No, no, no.

832
00:59:16.465 --> 00:59:18.598
You were right.

833
00:59:18.642 --> 00:59:21.819
I've decided to
agree to sell the house.

834
00:59:21.862 --> 00:59:23.734
It's the practical thing to do.

835
00:59:23.777 --> 00:59:25.649
-What?

836
00:59:25.692 --> 00:59:27.868
-It's just a house.

837
00:59:27.912 --> 00:59:30.436
It's not my family.
You are my family.

838
00:59:30.479 --> 00:59:34.179
-That's right, we are,
and we love you.

839
00:59:34.222 --> 00:59:36.007
We can have Christmas anywhere.

840
00:59:39.793 --> 00:59:42.013
But why the sudden change?

841
00:59:46.887 --> 00:59:49.411
-I think that the House

842
00:59:49.455 --> 00:59:53.241
helped me to feel connected
to Mom and Dad,

843
00:59:53.285 --> 00:59:54.765
but you can't relive the past.

844
00:59:54.808 --> 00:59:56.767
I know that now.

845
00:59:56.810 --> 01:00:00.858
You can remember it fondly,

846
01:00:00.901 --> 01:00:03.774
but you can't relive it.

847
01:00:03.817 --> 01:00:05.471
-Well, you have us,

848
01:00:05.514 --> 01:00:07.604
and we're your
connection to Mom and Dad

849
01:00:07.647 --> 01:00:10.215
and all the amazing memories
that we have.

850
01:00:14.306 --> 01:00:16.177
-I'm just having a hard time
letting go.

851
01:00:18.310 --> 01:00:21.008
-It's totally understandable.

852
01:00:21.052 --> 01:00:22.836
-But I'll be okay.

853
01:00:25.926 --> 01:00:30.278
-Well, while you were gone,
I read your book "Homesick,"

854
01:00:30.322 --> 01:00:35.675
and you talk about a home
not defining you,

855
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:37.416
that your home is within you.

856
01:00:40.071 --> 01:00:44.989
-I guess it's hard to practice
what you preach sometimes.

857
01:00:45.032 --> 01:00:47.513
-You have given us
such an amazing

858
01:00:47.556 --> 01:00:51.865
Christmas gift this year,
just making it all so special.

859
01:00:54.172 --> 01:00:57.958
Hey, let's --
let's not spoil it, okay?

860
01:00:58.002 --> 01:01:00.439
-Okay.

861
01:01:00.482 --> 01:01:03.268
In my head, I know you're right.

862
01:01:03.311 --> 01:01:06.140
It's just my heart, you know?

863
01:01:08.534 --> 01:01:10.971
-Yeah, I know.

864
01:01:11.015 --> 01:01:13.931
-I want you to have that money
for Ace and his college

865
01:01:13.974 --> 01:01:15.236
and for your family.

866
01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:17.499
It's important.

867
01:01:21.721 --> 01:01:25.072
I'm going to head off to bed.
It's been a long day.

868
01:01:25.116 --> 01:01:27.814
-Okay, sleep tight.

869
01:01:27.858 --> 01:01:31.122
Love you, sis.
-I love you, too.

870
01:03:44.559 --> 01:03:46.910
-Here we go.

871
01:03:46.953 --> 01:03:48.737
-Oh!
-Oh, big five!

872
01:03:48.781 --> 01:03:51.088
One, two, three, four -- ohh!

873
01:03:51.131 --> 01:03:52.872
On Vienna? Ace?
-Yes!

874
01:03:52.916 --> 01:03:54.787
-How did you do it? Alright.

875
01:03:54.831 --> 01:03:56.049
-So good.
-$2,000.

876
01:03:56.093 --> 01:03:57.746
-You got me. I'm out.

877
01:03:57.790 --> 01:04:02.751
-You did it!
Alright, your turn.

878
01:04:09.715 --> 01:04:11.673
-Hi.
-Hi, is Margot here?

879
01:04:11.717 --> 01:04:14.024
I'm --
-Christian Williams.

880
01:04:14.067 --> 01:04:17.592
-Yeah. How'd you know?
-I remember you.

881
01:04:17.636 --> 01:04:18.898
Come on in.
-Thanks,

882
01:04:18.942 --> 01:04:20.291
-Margot.

883
01:04:22.467 --> 01:04:24.164
-Hey.

884
01:04:24.208 --> 01:04:25.774
I brought you guys
some Christmas cookies

885
01:04:25.818 --> 01:04:27.124
from that new bakery in town.

886
01:04:27.167 --> 01:04:29.082
-Oh, thank you.
-Best on the Cape.

887
01:04:29.126 --> 01:04:31.998
-So nice of you.

888
01:04:32.042 --> 01:04:33.870
-Thanks.

889
01:04:36.437 --> 01:04:39.005
-Ace, why don't you you come
help me get lunch organized?

890
01:04:44.968 --> 01:04:47.579
-So it's, uh, it's all done.

891
01:04:47.622 --> 01:04:51.104
I think you're really
gonna like it.

892
01:04:51.148 --> 01:04:53.846
-Thank you. Really.

893
01:04:53.890 --> 01:04:55.543
-So how'd dinner go last night?

894
01:04:55.587 --> 01:04:58.503
Did you get her to agree
not to sell the house?

895
01:04:58.546 --> 01:05:03.073
-I changed my mind. I decided
I'm going to let them sell it.

896
01:05:03.116 --> 01:05:07.164
-Really?
-Yeah. I was being selfish.

897
01:05:07.207 --> 01:05:08.730
They could use the money,
and I was just

898
01:05:08.774 --> 01:05:10.297
holding on to old memories.

899
01:05:10.341 --> 01:05:12.386
-Surprised to hear you say that.

900
01:05:12.430 --> 01:05:15.476
-I think reality finally set in.

901
01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:17.478
-Hey, did I...

902
01:05:17.522 --> 01:05:20.960
do something to upset you,
because you seem angry with me.

903
01:05:21.004 --> 01:05:23.441
-No.

904
01:05:23.484 --> 01:05:25.443
-Margot.

905
01:05:25.486 --> 01:05:27.314
Talk to me.

906
01:05:36.933 --> 01:05:38.369
-What?

907
01:05:38.412 --> 01:05:41.111
-I saw you.
-You saw me what?

908
01:05:41.154 --> 01:05:43.940
-Last night, at the restaurant,
I saw you.

909
01:05:43.983 --> 01:05:45.419
-That.

910
01:05:45.463 --> 01:05:47.639
-And I mean,
I have no right to be mad.

911
01:05:47.682 --> 01:05:49.597
It's your life, you've traveled
all over the world,

912
01:05:49.641 --> 01:05:51.686
and it would be naive to think
that you and I

913
01:05:51.730 --> 01:05:53.384
could even possibly...

914
01:05:53.427 --> 01:05:55.864
I mean, what we had was
when we were kids.

915
01:05:55.908 --> 01:05:57.214
It's so long ago.
-Margot.

916
01:05:57.257 --> 01:05:58.955
-And it's none of my business.

917
01:05:58.998 --> 01:06:01.392
It's just that
I was caught by surprise

918
01:06:01.435 --> 01:06:02.959
and I was hurt.
-Margot!

919
01:06:03.002 --> 01:06:05.396
-But I'm fine.
-Margot, that was my sister.

920
01:06:08.051 --> 01:06:10.444
-What?
-Yeah, that was my sister.

921
01:06:10.488 --> 01:06:13.186
She's in town for a few days
before Christmas.

922
01:06:13.230 --> 01:06:16.233
She leaves for New York
to see her fiance today.

923
01:06:16.276 --> 01:06:18.757
-Oh.

924
01:06:18.800 --> 01:06:21.586
I feel like an idiot.

925
01:06:21.629 --> 01:06:26.417
-Listen, there is no
other woman in my life,

926
01:06:26.460 --> 01:06:30.116
and ever since I saw you
a few days ago at the bookstore,

927
01:06:30.160 --> 01:06:34.033
I haven't been able to think
about anybody but you.

928
01:06:34.077 --> 01:06:36.253
-Really?
-Really.

929
01:06:36.296 --> 01:06:39.734
But it is kind of cute.

930
01:06:39.778 --> 01:06:42.128
-What?
-You were jealous.

931
01:06:42.172 --> 01:06:43.956
-Yeah.

932
01:06:44.000 --> 01:06:45.479
-That means you care.

933
01:06:47.090 --> 01:06:49.353
-I do.
-Yeah.

934
01:06:51.572 --> 01:06:53.487
-Christian.
-Hmm?

935
01:06:53.531 --> 01:06:56.186
-Would you like to
join us for dinner tonight?

936
01:06:56.229 --> 01:06:58.057
We're going to
the Christmas stroll after.

937
01:06:58.101 --> 01:07:01.060
-I would love to.

938
01:07:01.104 --> 01:07:02.496
-Did I interrupt something?

939
01:07:02.540 --> 01:07:05.064
-Kinda.

940
01:07:05.108 --> 01:07:06.587
-Okay, we'll see you later then.

941
01:07:06.631 --> 01:07:08.850
-Okay, what time should I be
back for dinner?

942
01:07:08.894 --> 01:07:12.941
-5:00.
-Yeah, 5:00 is great.

943
01:07:12.985 --> 01:07:15.509
-Okay. Thank you for the invite.

944
01:07:18.121 --> 01:07:19.992
Are you sure you want me
to come back for dinner?

945
01:07:20.036 --> 01:07:22.995
-Yes, absolutely.
-Okay.

946
01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:25.128
I just have to take care
of a few things.

947
01:07:25.171 --> 01:07:27.695
-Okay.
-Okay.

948
01:07:27.739 --> 01:07:30.785
And I am really sorry
for the misunderstanding.

949
01:07:30.829 --> 01:07:32.613
I never meant to hurt you.

950
01:07:32.657 --> 01:07:36.965
-No, I'm the one who should be
apologizing to you.

951
01:07:37.009 --> 01:07:39.055
I'm not normally like this,
I swear.

952
01:07:39.098 --> 01:07:41.666
I just -- I have
a lot going on right now.

953
01:07:41.709 --> 01:07:45.104
-I know.
I hope you like the painting.

954
01:08:21.271 --> 01:08:23.142
-Oh, wow.

955
01:09:06.751 --> 01:09:08.709
- Hi, you've reached Judith!

956
01:09:08.753 --> 01:09:12.191
Unlike most people, I still
listen to voice messages,

957
01:09:12.235 --> 01:09:14.062
so why don't you leave me one?

958
01:09:15.716 --> 01:09:17.283
-Hey, Judith, it's Margot.

959
01:09:17.327 --> 01:09:19.503
You mentioned that I needed

960
01:09:19.546 --> 01:09:22.419
some more international
recognition as an author.

961
01:09:22.462 --> 01:09:25.291
I'm not saying it's a done deal,
but I might have the opportunity

962
01:09:25.335 --> 01:09:28.164
to have Christian Williams
illustrate my next book.

963
01:09:28.207 --> 01:09:29.730
I was just wondering
what that would mean

964
01:09:29.774 --> 01:09:31.428
in terms of an advance.

965
01:09:31.471 --> 01:09:33.256
Thanks.

966
01:09:33.299 --> 01:09:35.258
Oh, and merry Christmas.

967
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:43.527
-I can't believe you guys
are leaving tomorrow.

968
01:09:43.570 --> 01:09:45.006
-I know.

969
01:09:45.050 --> 01:09:46.747
Jeff's parents
are dying to see Ace.

970
01:09:46.791 --> 01:09:49.446
-I bet. He's the best.

971
01:09:49.489 --> 01:09:52.449
-Hey, thanks for
making this so special.

972
01:09:52.492 --> 01:09:55.060
Let's enjoy our last night here
as a family, though, okay?

973
01:09:55.103 --> 01:09:56.757
-Deal.

974
01:09:56.801 --> 01:09:59.891
-It's been so great
hanging out with you.

975
01:09:59.934 --> 01:10:01.632
We shouldn't let it go
so long next time.

976
01:10:01.675 --> 01:10:03.677
-Yeah.
-Once we sell the house,

977
01:10:03.721 --> 01:10:05.723
I'll be able to afford to come
visit you more in Boston.

978
01:10:05.766 --> 01:10:08.073
-That'd be great.

979
01:10:08.116 --> 01:10:12.338
-So...what was going on
with you and Christian?

980
01:10:12.382 --> 01:10:15.298
-Well, nothing. I just made
a total idiot of myself.

981
01:10:15.341 --> 01:10:16.864
-How?
-Well...

982
01:10:16.908 --> 01:10:19.171
I saw him out last night
with another woman.

983
01:10:19.215 --> 01:10:21.652
Turns out, it was a sister.
-Oh boy.

984
01:10:21.695 --> 01:10:24.220
-And you thought...
-Yeah.

985
01:10:24.263 --> 01:10:26.134
-You're such a drama queen.

986
01:10:34.578 --> 01:10:36.057
-Hi.
-Hi.

987
01:10:36.101 --> 01:10:37.407
-Come in.
-Merry Christmas.

988
01:10:37.450 --> 01:10:39.887
-Merry Christmas.
-I brought you guys wine.

989
01:10:39.931 --> 01:10:43.891
-Oh, awesome. Wow.

990
01:10:43.935 --> 01:10:44.979
I'm going to go
let this baby breathe.

991
01:10:45.023 --> 01:10:47.678
-Okay.

992
01:10:47.721 --> 01:10:49.549
-Do you want to take
off your coat?

993
01:10:49.593 --> 01:10:51.377
-Yes, please.

994
01:10:55.686 --> 01:10:59.559
-Wow. You look amazing.

995
01:10:59.603 --> 01:11:01.474
-You don't look too bad
yourself.

996
01:11:01.518 --> 01:11:03.911
-Thanks.
-Come on.

997
01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:10.875
-Christian, it's a pleasure
having you here.

998
01:11:10.918 --> 01:11:13.269
-Oh, thank you.
This all looks delicious.

999
01:11:13.312 --> 01:11:14.705
-Margot really stepped up
to the plate this year

1000
01:11:14.748 --> 01:11:16.446
with all the cooking
and decorating.

1001
01:11:16.489 --> 01:11:18.622
-Hello!

1002
01:11:18.665 --> 01:11:20.580
-Tom!
-Whoa!

1003
01:11:20.624 --> 01:11:22.669
-Merry Christmas!

1004
01:11:22.713 --> 01:11:24.105
-Oh, my gosh!

1005
01:11:24.149 --> 01:11:25.803
-We didn't think
you were coming!

1006
01:11:25.846 --> 01:11:27.370
-I couldn't not show up

1007
01:11:27.413 --> 01:11:29.328
on our last Christmas
in this house.

1008
01:11:29.372 --> 01:11:31.722
-Come on, Uncle Tom.
Dinner's getting cold.

1009
01:11:31.765 --> 01:11:33.985
-Whoa.
-Merry Christmas, Tom.

1010
01:11:34.028 --> 01:11:36.335
-Merry Christmas, everyone.

1011
01:11:36.379 --> 01:11:39.469
-Hey, I know this pot roast.
-Mm-hmm.

1012
01:11:39.512 --> 01:11:41.253
-Let me do the honors.

1013
01:11:47.433 --> 01:11:49.957
-It's so good to see you, Tom.

1014
01:11:50.001 --> 01:11:52.830
-I can't believe all you've
done to this place.

1015
01:11:52.873 --> 01:11:54.484
I haven't seen the house
look this Christmas-y

1016
01:11:54.527 --> 01:11:56.137
since we were kids.

1017
01:11:56.181 --> 01:11:58.096
-I can't believe you came.

1018
01:11:58.139 --> 01:12:01.360
-Wow.
My reputation's that bad, huh?

1019
01:12:01.404 --> 01:12:03.406
-I'm just glad to see you.

1020
01:12:03.449 --> 01:12:05.451
-Well, I canceled the last leg
of my trip

1021
01:12:05.495 --> 01:12:06.670
and hopped on a flight standby.

1022
01:12:06.713 --> 01:12:08.193
I would have called,

1023
01:12:08.236 --> 01:12:10.761
but I thought a surprise
would be more fun.

1024
01:12:10.804 --> 01:12:13.851
-Yeah, it was a great surprise.

1025
01:12:13.894 --> 01:12:17.724
-Christian,
what a blast from the past.

1026
01:12:17.768 --> 01:12:21.380
I think the last time I saw you,

1027
01:12:21.424 --> 01:12:24.078
Margot was all gaga,
chasing you around.

1028
01:12:24.122 --> 01:12:26.342
-I was not gaga.

1029
01:12:26.385 --> 01:12:31.259
-What was that old
Paul Anka song, "Puppy Love."

1030
01:12:31.303 --> 01:12:33.392
-Stop it.

1031
01:12:33.436 --> 01:12:37.962
-No, it's been really
nice getting reacquainted.

1032
01:12:38.005 --> 01:12:40.399
-Oh, so I brought the papers
from the realtor

1033
01:12:40.443 --> 01:12:42.314
for everyone to sign
for the house.

1034
01:12:42.358 --> 01:12:45.839
-We can deal with that later.
-Excuse me for a moment.

1035
01:12:47.450 --> 01:12:50.017
-Uh, what'd I say?

1036
01:12:50.061 --> 01:12:53.456
-She's just taking it harder
than the rest of us.

1037
01:12:53.499 --> 01:12:56.894
-Hmm.
-Is she okay?

1038
01:12:56.937 --> 01:12:58.591
-I don't know.

1039
01:12:59.984 --> 01:13:02.465
So, Christian,

1040
01:13:02.508 --> 01:13:04.075
how long have you
been back on the Cape?

1041
01:13:04.118 --> 01:13:05.946
-A couple of months.

1042
01:13:05.990 --> 01:13:08.427
-Is it the same as you remember?

1043
01:13:08.471 --> 01:13:13.954
-With age comes perspective,
so I have to say it's better.

1044
01:13:18.785 --> 01:13:21.135
I just wanted to say
that this has been

1045
01:13:21.179 --> 01:13:22.485
one of the best Christmases

1046
01:13:22.528 --> 01:13:26.880
that I've had
in a really long time.

1047
01:13:26.924 --> 01:13:28.621
Ever since Mom and Dad died,

1048
01:13:28.665 --> 01:13:32.756
I got so focused on my career
and then this house

1049
01:13:32.799 --> 01:13:36.412
that I didn't take any time
to focus on all of you,

1050
01:13:36.455 --> 01:13:39.023
my family.

1051
01:13:39.066 --> 01:13:40.851
I came back here
and I ran into Christian

1052
01:13:40.894 --> 01:13:43.027
and found out
that he was an artist.

1053
01:13:43.070 --> 01:13:46.160
Well, actually, you've been
an artist your whole life,

1054
01:13:46.204 --> 01:13:48.511
ever since we were kids.

1055
01:13:48.554 --> 01:13:53.341
But it turns out that
you're quite the famous artist.

1056
01:13:53.385 --> 01:13:54.778
But of course, you being you,

1057
01:13:54.821 --> 01:13:57.737
you didn't say anything
about that.

1058
01:13:57.781 --> 01:13:59.609
Anyway,

1059
01:13:59.652 --> 01:14:03.351
I had Christian paint you
a Christmas present, Meredith.

1060
01:14:05.571 --> 01:14:08.922
-Wow.

1061
01:14:08.966 --> 01:14:12.230
-Wow!

1062
01:14:12.273 --> 01:14:15.494
-It's beautiful, Christian.
-That's -- that's incredible.

1063
01:14:15.538 --> 01:14:18.715
-I want you to know I'm okay
with selling the house.

1064
01:14:18.758 --> 01:14:20.760
I wasn't initially, but I'll
sign whatever paperwork

1065
01:14:20.804 --> 01:14:23.415
you need me to sign
before you go.

1066
01:14:23.459 --> 01:14:24.547
I just wanted you
to have something

1067
01:14:24.590 --> 01:14:26.462
to remember the place by.

1068
01:14:26.505 --> 01:14:28.333
-It's so lovely.

1069
01:14:30.422 --> 01:14:32.990
Really. Thank you, Margot.

1070
01:14:33.033 --> 01:14:35.775
But I really feel like you
should keep the painting.

1071
01:14:35.819 --> 01:14:40.171
-Absolutely not. It's yours.

1072
01:14:40.214 --> 01:14:41.955
-Margs,

1073
01:14:41.999 --> 01:14:44.088
I had no idea
he didn't want to sell,

1074
01:14:44.131 --> 01:14:47.657
but I'm glad
you're okay with it.

1075
01:14:47.700 --> 01:14:50.137
-Me, too.

1076
01:14:50.181 --> 01:14:55.316
-Okay, so I know
I haven't been around much,

1077
01:14:55.360 --> 01:14:59.582
but I'm going to make it
my Christmas promise

1078
01:14:59.625 --> 01:15:02.367
to try and make you guys
more of a priority.

1079
01:15:02.410 --> 01:15:04.412
-You better.

1080
01:15:06.502 --> 01:15:07.938
-Who's ready for
the Christmas stroll?

1081
01:15:07.981 --> 01:15:10.375
-Yeah!
-Yes, let's roll.

1082
01:16:05.125 --> 01:16:07.345
-You know, you really
are quite the artist.

1083
01:16:07.388 --> 01:16:09.652
-And you are quite the writer.

1084
01:16:09.695 --> 01:16:11.523
-No, I mean it.

1085
01:16:11.567 --> 01:16:14.265
Even before I knew it was you,
I was drawn to your work.

1086
01:16:14.308 --> 01:16:16.441
And then Jacklyn said
that you had a reputation

1087
01:16:16.484 --> 01:16:20.053
and I was worried you were
a ladies man, a Casanova.

1088
01:16:20.097 --> 01:16:21.489
-Hardly.

1089
01:16:21.533 --> 01:16:23.753
But that does explain a lot.

1090
01:16:23.796 --> 01:16:25.189
-Well, then I looked you up
and it turns out

1091
01:16:25.232 --> 01:16:27.017
that you do have a reputation --

1092
01:16:27.060 --> 01:16:29.236
a worldwide reputation.

1093
01:16:29.280 --> 01:16:31.369
-You didn't know that?
-Mnh-mnh.

1094
01:16:31.412 --> 01:16:34.372
Not before last night.
-You're kidding.

1095
01:16:34.415 --> 01:16:36.635
I thought that's why you
wanted me to paint your house.

1096
01:16:36.679 --> 01:16:38.724
-No, I wanted you
to paint the house

1097
01:16:38.768 --> 01:16:42.946
because I like your work
and I kind of like you.

1098
01:16:45.862 --> 01:16:50.736
-Where are we going?
-Come with me.

1099
01:16:52.085 --> 01:16:53.957
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

1100
01:17:01.486 --> 01:17:02.835
-The carolers were
really good this year.

1101
01:17:02.879 --> 01:17:04.707
-They were.

1102
01:17:06.839 --> 01:17:08.798
-What are we doing?

1103
01:17:08.841 --> 01:17:11.975
-Oh, well, it is time to make
good on your end of the bargain.

1104
01:17:12.018 --> 01:17:14.238
-What?
-Oh, I want to draw you again.

1105
01:17:14.281 --> 01:17:17.371
-I don't know what to do.
I feel so awkward.

1106
01:17:17.415 --> 01:17:20.810
-No, you're just going
to sit right over here.

1107
01:17:20.853 --> 01:17:23.160
-Yep. Perfect. Down there.

1108
01:17:23.203 --> 01:17:26.642
And then talk to me.

1109
01:17:26.685 --> 01:17:29.645
-I look a mess.
-No, you look beautiful.

1110
01:17:36.129 --> 01:17:38.392
This is so uncomfortable.

1111
01:17:38.436 --> 01:17:40.786
-No, this is perfect.

1112
01:17:42.614 --> 01:17:44.616
Tell me a story.

1113
01:18:39.018 --> 01:18:41.368
-Tilt your chin
just a little bit up.

1114
01:18:44.458 --> 01:18:46.025
-Can I look yet?

1115
01:18:46.069 --> 01:18:47.592
-It's almost done.

1116
01:18:47.635 --> 01:18:49.768
-Ugh, the anticipation
is killing me.

1117
01:18:49.812 --> 01:18:51.944
-Patience.

1118
01:18:55.992 --> 01:18:58.124
-Oh, one sec.
-Yeah, go ahead.

1119
01:18:58.168 --> 01:18:59.691
-Hi, Judith.

1120
01:18:59.735 --> 01:19:02.955
-Margot, it's Judith.
-I know.

1121
01:19:02.999 --> 01:19:04.870
Who else is working
at 9:00 on Christmas Eve?

1122
01:19:04.914 --> 01:19:07.525
It's my agent.
-Oh, okay.

1123
01:19:07.568 --> 01:19:10.484
-I got your message
and I ran your idea about

1124
01:19:10.528 --> 01:19:12.660
Christian Williams
illustrating your new book

1125
01:19:12.704 --> 01:19:14.184
up the flagpole.

1126
01:19:14.227 --> 01:19:16.969
-And?
-The publishers love it.

1127
01:19:17.013 --> 01:19:19.624
Christian's global fan base
could mean big business for us.

1128
01:19:19.667 --> 01:19:21.495
It's a whole different
audience.

1129
01:19:21.539 --> 01:19:24.107
-Wow, that's fantastic.

1130
01:19:24.150 --> 01:19:30.026
-And they're willing to offer
you a six-figure advance.

1131
01:19:30.069 --> 01:19:32.942
-What? That's incredible.

1132
01:19:32.985 --> 01:19:36.641
-I figured that was news worth
sharing on Christmas Eve.

1133
01:19:36.684 --> 01:19:39.600
-Is it ever?
W-- Thank you, Judith.

1134
01:19:39.644 --> 01:19:41.994
-We'll sort out the details
after the holidays.

1135
01:19:42.038 --> 01:19:44.344
-Yes, of course, yeah.

1136
01:19:44.388 --> 01:19:47.652
That is one heck
of a Christmas gift.

1137
01:19:47.695 --> 01:19:52.048
-Merry Christmas, doll.
-Merry Christmas.

1138
01:19:52.091 --> 01:19:53.832
-What?

1139
01:19:53.876 --> 01:19:56.835
Come on, now the anticipation
is killing me.

1140
01:19:56.879 --> 01:19:58.663
-I think I have a way of
buying out my siblings

1141
01:19:58.706 --> 01:20:00.012
and keeping the house.

1142
01:20:00.056 --> 01:20:02.232
-How?

1143
01:20:02.275 --> 01:20:06.149
-Oh, my gosh.
This is unbelievable.

1144
01:20:06.192 --> 01:20:08.020
Um...

1145
01:20:08.064 --> 01:20:09.630
Christian, that was my agent.

1146
01:20:09.674 --> 01:20:11.632
-Yeah, I know. You said that.
What did she say?

1147
01:20:11.676 --> 01:20:14.113
-I sort of bounced
the idea off of her

1148
01:20:14.157 --> 01:20:19.684
about the possibility of you
illustrating my next book.

1149
01:20:19.727 --> 01:20:22.992
-I see.

1150
01:20:23.035 --> 01:20:24.776
-And she just told me that
the publishing company

1151
01:20:24.820 --> 01:20:26.343
loves that idea

1152
01:20:26.386 --> 01:20:29.389
and they'd be willing
to give me -- us --

1153
01:20:29.433 --> 01:20:31.739
They'd be willing to give us
a big advance.

1154
01:20:36.353 --> 01:20:38.398
-If you're interested,
of course.

1155
01:20:40.400 --> 01:20:42.011
-I don't know, uh...

1156
01:20:42.054 --> 01:20:45.362
I've never illustrated
a children's book before.

1157
01:20:45.405 --> 01:20:48.756
-I know, but you're going to be
amazing. I know it.

1158
01:20:48.800 --> 01:20:51.672
It's --

1159
01:20:51.716 --> 01:20:54.458
That's beautiful.

1160
01:20:54.501 --> 01:20:58.331
-Yeah, do you think
I have the chops?

1161
01:20:58.375 --> 01:21:00.812
-You definitely have the chops.

1162
01:21:03.032 --> 01:21:04.860
-And...

1163
01:21:07.297 --> 01:21:10.648
I'd be honored to illustrate
your children's book with you.

1164
01:21:13.651 --> 01:21:16.088
-Really?
-Really.

1165
01:21:16.132 --> 01:21:18.961
-Really?
-Really.

1166
01:21:19.004 --> 01:21:21.267
-Oh.
-Thank you.

1167
01:21:21.311 --> 01:21:25.054
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

1168
01:21:25.097 --> 01:21:27.317
You've no idea
how much this means to me.

1169
01:21:27.360 --> 01:21:29.754
-Oh, I think I have an inkling.

1170
01:22:10.926 --> 01:22:12.884
-This has been
the most wonderful Christmas,

1171
01:22:12.928 --> 01:22:15.582
but I have one more gift
for both of you.

1172
01:22:15.626 --> 01:22:17.933
-No more gifts.
You've given us enough already.

1173
01:22:17.976 --> 01:22:19.760
-You sure have.

1174
01:22:19.804 --> 01:22:23.939
This has been the perfect
goodbye to this place.

1175
01:22:23.982 --> 01:22:26.985
And now I don't have to leave
Harbour Island anymore

1176
01:22:27.029 --> 01:22:29.292
when it's freezing cold up here.

1177
01:22:29.335 --> 01:22:32.512
I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

1178
01:22:32.556 --> 01:22:34.906
-Hey, am I too late?
-No, no, no.

1179
01:22:34.950 --> 01:22:38.040
I just gave them their presents.
Come in.

1180
01:22:38.083 --> 01:22:40.607
Open them up! Open them up!
-Margs.

1181
01:22:40.651 --> 01:22:43.871
What's going on?
-Open your present.

1182
01:22:49.877 --> 01:22:51.662
I want to buy the house.

1183
01:22:51.705 --> 01:22:56.145
I'll give both of you full
market value for your third.

1184
01:22:56.188 --> 01:22:58.277
Christian and I just got

1185
01:22:58.321 --> 01:23:00.453
quite a lucrative deal
for a new children's book,

1186
01:23:00.497 --> 01:23:02.542
which I'll write
and he'll illustrate.

1187
01:23:02.586 --> 01:23:04.588
It's called "The Family Tree,"

1188
01:23:04.631 --> 01:23:07.199
and it's about
a giant red beech tree

1189
01:23:07.243 --> 01:23:11.203
that grows in the yard
of a very special Cape Cod home.

1190
01:23:11.247 --> 01:23:14.337
The tree, in its quiet wisdom,
is the guiding force

1191
01:23:14.380 --> 01:23:18.167
for the generations of family
that live in this house.

1192
01:23:18.210 --> 01:23:22.171
My Christmas wish
is that you'll allow me

1193
01:23:22.214 --> 01:23:25.870
to be the steward of this place
and keep it in the family

1194
01:23:25.913 --> 01:23:29.917
because we, this family,
are what make a house a home.

1195
01:23:32.224 --> 01:23:34.661
-Jeez. Wow.

1196
01:23:36.707 --> 01:23:38.796
-Does this mean we're
keeping the house, Dad?

1197
01:23:38.839 --> 01:23:40.450
-It means Auntie Margot's
keeping the house,

1198
01:23:40.493 --> 01:23:42.930
but I'll bet
she'll let us visit.

1199
01:23:42.974 --> 01:23:45.977
-Anytime you want.

1200
01:23:46.021 --> 01:23:47.500
So is that a yes?

1201
01:23:47.544 --> 01:23:49.372
-Yes!
-Yes!

1202
01:23:54.246 --> 01:23:55.943
-You better come back
next year, Tom.

1203
01:23:55.987 --> 01:24:00.383
-I wouldn't miss it.
Hey, I'm proud of you, sis.

1204
01:24:00.426 --> 01:24:02.863
You made it happen,
and nothing makes me happier

1205
01:24:02.907 --> 01:24:05.127
than keeping
this house in the family.

1206
01:24:05.170 --> 01:24:07.433
-I love you.
-Love you, too.

1207
01:24:12.003 --> 01:24:15.398
-See you, Tom.

1208
01:24:15.441 --> 01:24:17.182
-You better take good care
of this house.

1209
01:24:17.226 --> 01:24:20.707
-You hear me?
-I will. You know I will.

1210
01:24:20.751 --> 01:24:22.927
-Well, actually, go ahead
and trash it. It's yours now.

1211
01:24:22.970 --> 01:24:24.929
-No, it's still all of ours.

1212
01:24:24.972 --> 01:24:27.627
I'm just paying
the mortgage now.

1213
01:24:27.671 --> 01:24:29.325
-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas.

1214
01:24:29.368 --> 01:24:32.023
-Thanks, Margot.
That was wonderful.

1215
01:24:32.067 --> 01:24:33.764
-Happy New Year, Aunt Margot.

1216
01:24:33.807 --> 01:24:35.026
I'm glad you're
keeping the house.

1217
01:24:35.070 --> 01:24:37.550
-Me, too.

1218
01:24:37.594 --> 01:24:39.770
-Nice to meet you, Christian.
-See you.

1219
01:24:42.164 --> 01:24:45.036
-Drive safe, guys.

1220
01:24:45.080 --> 01:24:47.082
-Hey, you.
-Hey.

1221
01:24:51.651 --> 01:24:53.740
C'mere,
I have something for you.

1222
01:24:53.784 --> 01:24:56.178
-What, why?
-'Cause it's Christmas.

1223
01:24:56.221 --> 01:24:58.441
-No, you've given me
so much already.

1224
01:24:58.484 --> 01:25:00.530
-Come on.

1225
01:25:11.715 --> 01:25:16.676
-What is this?
-Just sit.

1226
01:25:23.379 --> 01:25:25.163
-Merry Christmas.

1227
01:25:27.992 --> 01:25:29.559
-You kept it,
after all this time?

1228
01:25:29.602 --> 01:25:31.343
-Of course I did.

1229
01:25:31.387 --> 01:25:34.781
And it led me home,
just like you said it would.

1230
01:25:38.785 --> 01:25:40.787
-It led me home, too.

1231
01:27:42.039 --> 01:27:45.999
Snow is falling down

1232
01:28:26.736 --> 01:28:30.348
- Snow is falling down

1233
01:28:59.421 --> 01:29:03.468
- Snow is falling now
