1
00:00:00,953 --> 00:00:02,968
Candy cane pie
is so good.
2
00:00:03,058 --> 00:00:05,027
I wish they served it
all year round.
3
00:00:05,378 --> 00:00:07,855
I think the reason we love
candy canes so much
4
00:00:07,943 --> 00:00:09,611
is because they give
you the same feeling
5
00:00:09,699 --> 00:00:11,683
as rubbing coke
on your gums.
6
00:00:12,823 --> 00:00:15,074
It kind of does.
7
00:00:15,332 --> 00:00:18,918
And I won't be up vacuuming
naked at 3:00 in the morning.
8
00:00:19,917 --> 00:00:21,386
I know what I want
for Christmas.
9
00:00:21,474 --> 00:00:23,291
A videotape of Marjorie
on cocaine.
10
00:00:23,379 --> 00:00:24,814
Well, there wouldn't
be videos.
11
00:00:24,902 --> 00:00:26,957
It'd be chiseled
on a cave wall.
12
00:00:28,863 --> 00:00:30,650
What are you guys doing
on Christmas Eve?
13
00:00:30,738 --> 00:00:33,087
Anyone want to come caroling
with me and my church group?
14
00:00:33,182 --> 00:00:35,382
No, no-no, no, no-no, no-no.
15
00:00:37,066 --> 00:00:38,533
But thanks for asking.
16
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:41,816
Ah, I wish we could,
but we've got plans.
17
00:00:41,956 --> 00:00:43,728
- With each other.
- On Christmas.
18
00:00:43,816 --> 00:00:44,838
Can you believe it?
19
00:00:44,925 --> 00:00:48,015
Adam's working, so we're gonna
make gingerbread houses
20
00:00:48,103 --> 00:00:50,175
and watch movies
in matching jammies.
21
00:00:50,605 --> 00:00:51,847
You don't know
how hard it was
22
00:00:51,935 --> 00:00:54,378
to find footie pajamas
in her size.
23
00:00:54,658 --> 00:00:57,417
Or how easy it was
to find 'em in hers.
24
00:00:58,166 --> 00:01:00,034
Well, if anybody wants
to come sing,
25
00:01:00,122 --> 00:01:02,263
we hit Bluebird Lane
around 7:00.
26
00:01:02,951 --> 00:01:04,534
Oh, it's my sponsee.
27
00:01:04,622 --> 00:01:06,831
I have to take it.
She totally relies on me.
28
00:01:07,448 --> 00:01:09,462
Hi, Patty.
How can I put my life on hold
29
00:01:09,550 --> 00:01:11,402
while I help
you today?
30
00:01:12,343 --> 00:01:14,613
She calls her
four times a day.
31
00:01:14,701 --> 00:01:18,096
Well, I'm gonna be calling you
a ton 'cause I'm in freefall.
32
00:01:18,184 --> 00:01:21,404
Andy took off to Minnesota to
spend Christmas with his mother.
33
00:01:21,492 --> 00:01:23,059
Well, why didn't
you go with him?
34
00:01:23,177 --> 00:01:24,511
There's lots of
reasons, Tammy.
35
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:26,745
The big one being
he didn't invite me.
36
00:01:27,713 --> 00:01:29,391
I mean, if you
and I were dating,
37
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:31,097
and you were going
home for the holidays,
38
00:01:31,185 --> 00:01:32,447
you would take me,
wouldn't you?
39
00:01:32,535 --> 00:01:34,120
It depends.
Are we exclusive?
40
00:01:34,254 --> 00:01:36,473
Does every date end
in a sleepover?
41
00:01:36,628 --> 00:01:38,363
Have we taken
a bath together?
42
00:01:38,738 --> 00:01:40,245
Yes to all three.
43
00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:42,073
Well, then I would
definitely take you home
44
00:01:42,161 --> 00:01:44,503
and parade you around
the local Applebee's.
45
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:46,972
Oh, I don't know
what Applebee's is,
46
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:48,980
but Tammy's a
good boyfriend.
47
00:01:50,003 --> 00:01:51,620
Patty's going through
a rough patch,
48
00:01:51,708 --> 00:01:53,698
so I invited her to
spend Christmas with us.
49
00:01:53,786 --> 00:01:55,714
Oh. Well,
50
00:01:56,246 --> 00:01:58,464
Christmas with me,
my mom and a stranger.
51
00:01:58,894 --> 00:02:01,219
Not the first time.Mm.
52
00:02:01,306 --> 00:02:03,594
In fact, why doesn't everyone
come over Christmas Eve?
53
00:02:03,682 --> 00:02:05,094
It might help
cheer Patty up.
54
00:02:05,455 --> 00:02:06,860
You want to go
to this party, baby?
55
00:02:06,948 --> 00:02:09,125
'Cause if you not,
we can stay home and snuggle.
56
00:02:11,382 --> 00:02:14,453
*MOM*
Season 07 Episode 10
57
00:02:14,858 --> 00:02:17,853
*MOM*
Title :"Higgledy-Piggledy and a Cat Show"
58
00:02:21,816 --> 00:02:24,133
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
59
00:02:24,404 --> 00:02:25,735
I'm setting up
the coffee.
60
00:02:25,924 --> 00:02:27,875
But everything's
all higgledy-piggledy.
61
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,420
Look,
I didn't go to college.
62
00:02:29,508 --> 00:02:30,789
What does that mean?
63
00:02:31,688 --> 00:02:33,599
It means
the stir sticks go here,
64
00:02:33,686 --> 00:02:35,555
and the sweeteners go here.
65
00:02:35,643 --> 00:02:37,079
Talk about higgy-wiggy.
66
00:02:37,167 --> 00:02:38,587
I mean, most people
are right-handed.
67
00:02:38,674 --> 00:02:40,415
It makes more sense
to do it this way.
68
00:02:40,503 --> 00:02:41,795
Ugh. But we're alcoholics.
69
00:02:41,883 --> 00:02:43,118
You can't just
go changing things,
70
00:02:43,205 --> 00:02:44,597
'cause we don't like change!
71
00:02:44,709 --> 00:02:46,256
Look, Bonnie's
running a little late.
72
00:02:46,344 --> 00:02:48,030
She asked me to handle it.
I'm handling it!
73
00:02:48,118 --> 00:02:51,328
Okay. Marjorie, can you tell Tammy
to stop moving the stir sticks!
74
00:02:51,416 --> 00:02:53,635
Oh, God, she moved
the stir sticks?
75
00:02:53,723 --> 00:02:54,914
No!
76
00:02:56,297 --> 00:02:58,437
And this is where
we have our meetings.
77
00:02:58,525 --> 00:02:59,617
It's also where
they have
78
00:02:59,705 --> 00:03:03,187
bingo, country line dancing
and, uh, CPR classes.
79
00:03:03,324 --> 00:03:06,446
I came on the wrong day once,
and now I can Heimlich a baby.
80
00:03:06,936 --> 00:03:08,571
My baby's eight
years old.
81
00:03:08,757 --> 00:03:09,895
I'm not allowed
to see her.
82
00:03:09,983 --> 00:03:11,344
Nice job, Christy.
83
00:03:11,672 --> 00:03:14,162
Everyone, this is Patty,
my sponsee.
84
00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:15,617
Come meet Patty,
my sponsee.
85
00:03:15,705 --> 00:03:18,719
Patty, this is Marjorie,
Jill, Tammy, Wendy.
86
00:03:18,807 --> 00:03:21,430
This is my sponsee, Patty,
the woman who I sponsor.
87
00:03:21,711 --> 00:03:23,030
Hi.Hi.
Welcome.
88
00:03:23,118 --> 00:03:24,728
Hi. Nice to meet you.
89
00:03:24,954 --> 00:03:26,610
I'm gonna sit down.
90
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:28,602
If you think
she seems sad now,
91
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:31,328
you should have seen her before
I started working my magic.
92
00:03:32,033 --> 00:03:34,949
Okay, what dumb-ass got
creative with the stir sticks?
93
00:03:37,663 --> 00:03:39,688
I thought I was handling
my boyfriend abandoning me
94
00:03:39,776 --> 00:03:41,126
at Christmas pretty well.
95
00:03:41,484 --> 00:03:43,766
But then he sent me a picture
of him and his mom.
96
00:03:43,965 --> 00:03:45,488
S-Sweet, right?
97
00:03:45,911 --> 00:03:48,281
But if you zoom in
close on his left arm,
98
00:03:48,369 --> 00:03:50,266
you can clearly see
three fingers
99
00:03:50,354 --> 00:03:53,492
that belong to a lady
who was obviously cropped out.
100
00:03:53,742 --> 00:03:57,030
Um, I'm trying not to obsess
over what is probably nothing,
101
00:03:57,117 --> 00:03:59,162
but who is she?
102
00:03:59,524 --> 00:04:01,406
Who is she?
103
00:04:01,644 --> 00:04:03,578
Who is she?!
104
00:04:05,773 --> 00:04:08,083
Anyway,
if I'm not here tomorrow,
105
00:04:08,171 --> 00:04:11,672
I'm in Minneapolis
with blood on my hands. Thanks.
106
00:04:12,823 --> 00:04:14,738
Would anybody else
like to share?
107
00:04:15,194 --> 00:04:16,656
I hated when you did this to me,
108
00:04:16,744 --> 00:04:18,656
but it's fun doing it
to someone else.
109
00:04:19,037 --> 00:04:20,672
Go ahead.
110
00:04:22,559 --> 00:04:25,388
Hi. I'm Patty,
and I'm an alcoholic.
111
00:04:25,476 --> 00:04:27,063
- Hi, Patty. - Hi, Patty.
- Hi, Patty. - Hi, Patty.
112
00:04:27,485 --> 00:04:29,180
I have 85 days,
113
00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:31,400
which is the longest
I've ever had,
114
00:04:31,515 --> 00:04:33,300
thanks to my incredible sponsor.
115
00:04:35,843 --> 00:04:38,824
I called her yesterday
because my mom told me
116
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:41,698
that she won't let me see
my daughter at Christmas.
117
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:44,066
Aw.It's because of last year.
118
00:04:44,154 --> 00:04:47,192
I got wasted before lunch,
knocked over the Christmas tree,
119
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,804
and then I started screaming
at my mom.
120
00:04:50,473 --> 00:04:52,871
My kid spent most of the day
crying.
121
00:04:53,182 --> 00:04:54,211
I thought
122
00:04:54,299 --> 00:04:58,457
having 85 days might buy me
a second chance.
123
00:04:59,793 --> 00:05:01,144
It didn't.
124
00:05:01,451 --> 00:05:03,758
So, what's the point
of having 85 days?
125
00:05:04,652 --> 00:05:05,957
That's it.
126
00:05:09,152 --> 00:05:10,973
Hi, I'm Marjorie,
alcoholic.
127
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:12,410
- Hi, Marjorie. - Hi, Marjorie.
- Hi, Marjorie. - Hi, Marjorie.
128
00:05:12,497 --> 00:05:16,022
This time of year
just makes me extra grateful
129
00:05:16,109 --> 00:05:18,394
for my life
and the people in it.
130
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,592
Take a
look at that hand.
131
00:05:20,762 --> 00:05:22,543
Am I overreacting?
132
00:05:22,631 --> 00:05:23,723
But now,
133
00:05:23,811 --> 00:05:25,183
It's a 30-hour drive.
134
00:05:25,271 --> 00:05:27,340
Wear a diaper,
go straight through.
135
00:05:30,592 --> 00:05:32,609
Thanks for sharing
your room with me.
136
00:05:32,697 --> 00:05:34,163
Mm. No problem.
137
00:05:34,772 --> 00:05:36,782
This is sort of
like we're sisters.
138
00:05:36,869 --> 00:05:39,506
Oh, my God. That would
make Bonnie my mom.
139
00:05:39,686 --> 00:05:42,201
Oh, I wish Bonnie
was my mom.
140
00:05:43,353 --> 00:05:46,139
When I was a kid,
I would say the same thing.
141
00:05:47,787 --> 00:05:49,568
Girls, it's late.
142
00:05:49,656 --> 00:05:51,310
Keep it down or invite me in.
143
00:05:51,459 --> 00:05:53,281
- We'll be quiet.
- Come on in!
144
00:05:55,311 --> 00:05:57,600
Well, how you holding up?
145
00:05:57,688 --> 00:06:00,024
Well, I'm okay,
I guess.
146
00:06:00,414 --> 00:06:02,483
I'm just sad that when
my daughter looks back
147
00:06:02,571 --> 00:06:03,833
on this Christmas,
148
00:06:03,921 --> 00:06:06,550
all she's gonna remember
is that I wasn't there.
149
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:09,873
Or worse, she'll
remember the years I was.
150
00:06:10,038 --> 00:06:11,957
I know it's hard
to imagine right now,
151
00:06:12,045 --> 00:06:13,897
but one day,
you guys might be able
152
00:06:13,985 --> 00:06:15,872
to look back
and laugh at this stuff,
153
00:06:16,049 --> 00:06:17,399
even the most
painful parts.
154
00:06:17,487 --> 00:06:18,720
We do it constantly.
155
00:06:18,808 --> 00:06:20,627
Ooh, remember that time
when I was 11?
156
00:06:20,715 --> 00:06:22,412
You're gonna have
to be more specific.
157
00:06:22,955 --> 00:06:24,298
Christmas Eve.
158
00:06:24,386 --> 00:06:27,746
This one goes out with her new
boyfriend of 48 hours
159
00:06:27,833 --> 00:06:29,399
to buy a few
last-minute presents.
160
00:06:29,487 --> 00:06:31,184
Oh, come on now.
Not that story.
161
00:06:31,272 --> 00:06:33,620
No, it's funny,
it's funny, it's funny.
162
00:06:34,317 --> 00:06:38,409
Turns out, there's a bar
right next to the Toys "R" Us,
163
00:06:38,496 --> 00:06:42,221
and I wake up Christmas
morning in an empty house.
164
00:06:42,381 --> 00:06:43,874
Around noon,
the phone rings.
165
00:06:43,962 --> 00:06:45,529
It's a collect call,
so I'm thinking
166
00:06:45,617 --> 00:06:47,128
she's in jail again,
but no.
167
00:06:47,216 --> 00:06:51,432
No, no. No, she got into a fight
with Dad of the Week,
168
00:06:51,581 --> 00:06:53,759
and needs me
to go pick her up
169
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:55,284
at the park
where she passed out.
170
00:06:55,861 --> 00:06:57,456
I'm 11.
171
00:06:58,485 --> 00:07:00,948
So, I drive over
and get her.
172
00:07:01,738 --> 00:07:04,236
In my defense,
she was an excellent driver.
173
00:07:04,436 --> 00:07:06,236
Still is.Thanks.
174
00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:07,750
That's incredible.
175
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:09,376
Not done.
176
00:07:10,003 --> 00:07:12,919
On the way back home,
we stopped at a gas station
177
00:07:13,007 --> 00:07:15,259
where I bought my own
Christmas presents...
178
00:07:15,347 --> 00:07:18,220
Two Milky Ways
and a Teen Bopmagazine
179
00:07:18,340 --> 00:07:20,792
with a fold-out poster
of Kirk Cameron.
180
00:07:21,016 --> 00:07:23,456
I believe there was also
a Yoo-hoo involved.
181
00:07:23,544 --> 00:07:25,379
Yes, yes, yes. Yoo-hoo.
182
00:07:25,474 --> 00:07:27,616
Nothing says Christmas
like chocolate milk
183
00:07:27,704 --> 00:07:29,270
that doesn't need
to be refrigerated.
184
00:07:31,569 --> 00:07:34,507
Okay, this has been fun,
but if I'm not asleep
185
00:07:34,595 --> 00:07:36,945
when Adam comes home, he'll want
to talk about his day.
186
00:07:37,032 --> 00:07:39,439
Oh. Oh, oh. Oh!
I forgot the best part.
187
00:07:39,527 --> 00:07:42,940
That night, she gets drunk
again, eats my Milky Ways
188
00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:46,031
and then puts her chocolatey
fingers all over my magazine.
189
00:07:46,259 --> 00:07:49,306
For the record, I didn't
get drunk again. I got high.
190
00:07:50,273 --> 00:07:51,492
Sweet dreams.
191
00:07:52,482 --> 00:07:53,962
Hmm.
192
00:07:54,049 --> 00:07:56,095
Your mom
is awesome.
193
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:03,972
I feel like
everyone who lives
194
00:08:04,059 --> 00:08:05,656
in my gingerbread
house is really happy.
195
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,193
Now they're all dead.
196
00:08:10,999 --> 00:08:12,537
I'm thinking
they got out okay.
197
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,263
No, they're all pinned
under the rubble,
198
00:08:14,351 --> 00:08:16,406
and the cell service is bad.
199
00:08:19,241 --> 00:08:20,882
Something bothering
you, Patty?
200
00:08:21,054 --> 00:08:23,757
My mom won't even let me talk
to Erica on the phone.
201
00:08:24,054 --> 00:08:24,990
I'm sorry.
202
00:08:25,077 --> 00:08:28,167
If it makes you feel any better,
my daughter won't talk to me,
203
00:08:28,254 --> 00:08:30,669
and my son chose
to live with his father.
204
00:08:30,819 --> 00:08:32,288
That's so sad.
205
00:08:32,382 --> 00:08:35,763
I know. I was trying
to cheer you up to my level,
206
00:08:35,851 --> 00:08:38,491
but I depressed myself
down to yours.
207
00:08:39,413 --> 00:08:42,052
Okay, candidate
number five... Katie.
208
00:08:42,287 --> 00:08:43,668
She went to high
school with Andy,
209
00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:45,815
still lives in
town, not married.
210
00:08:45,902 --> 00:08:47,023
Okay, look at
the fingers.
211
00:08:47,111 --> 00:08:48,874
Are they too stubby?
212
00:08:49,873 --> 00:08:51,515
Enough with the fingers.
213
00:08:51,851 --> 00:08:54,124
Jill,
why aren't you participating
214
00:08:54,304 --> 00:08:58,187
in this time-consuming,
supposedly fun yuletide ritual?
215
00:08:58,275 --> 00:08:59,851
I am. But as
in real life,
216
00:08:59,963 --> 00:09:02,356
I hired a contractor
to build my house for me.
217
00:09:03,015 --> 00:09:04,491
How's it going over there, Tam?
218
00:09:04,579 --> 00:09:05,928
It's great.
219
00:09:06,183 --> 00:09:09,273
I'm building an 18th century
English country house.
220
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,492
I think you're gonna like it.
221
00:09:10,579 --> 00:09:13,103
I just have
to redo these gables.
222
00:09:13,755 --> 00:09:15,028
What happened to Bonnie?
223
00:09:15,116 --> 00:09:16,204
She went to get a sweater.
224
00:09:16,292 --> 00:09:17,628
That was, like, an hour ago.
225
00:09:17,951 --> 00:09:19,933
It was?
Wow. Time sure flies
226
00:09:20,021 --> 00:09:21,633
when you're building
a historically accurate
227
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,013
representation of a house
out of cookies.
228
00:09:24,646 --> 00:09:26,154
Be right back.
229
00:09:27,020 --> 00:09:28,941
Ooh. Forget stubby fingers.
230
00:09:29,029 --> 00:09:30,341
- Look at candidate number six.
- Oh, my God,
231
00:09:30,429 --> 00:09:32,067
- just call him!
- What?
232
00:09:32,571 --> 00:09:34,397
You've got a great boyfriend
who loves you,
233
00:09:34,485 --> 00:09:36,069
so stop inventing drama!
234
00:09:36,157 --> 00:09:38,594
If you got a question,
just call him and ask, or get ready
235
00:09:38,682 --> 00:09:41,076
to sit home with me every
Saturday night and knit socks!
236
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:44,303
I guess I could
give him a call.
237
00:09:44,391 --> 00:09:45,852
Hey, Wendy,
if you're making socks,
238
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:47,812
I'm a size ten and a half,
and I like the ones
239
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:50,231
with little toes
like foot mittens.
240
00:09:56,311 --> 00:09:58,863
I'm prepared
to sit here all night.
241
00:10:00,121 --> 00:10:01,535
What do you
want me to say?
242
00:10:01,623 --> 00:10:03,543
The holidays
are hard for me.
243
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:05,899
Oh, you're the one.
244
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:11,473
Christy told an...
245
00:10:11,814 --> 00:10:14,730
awful story about
me last night.
246
00:10:14,902 --> 00:10:16,558
I've heard it a
thousand times,
247
00:10:16,645 --> 00:10:18,603
I've always laughed,
but for some reason,
248
00:10:18,690 --> 00:10:21,867
now I want to punch
myself in the face.
249
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,301
I'm just...
250
00:10:23,397 --> 00:10:24,746
suddenly...
251
00:10:28,467 --> 00:10:30,381
...very ashamed
of who I was.
252
00:10:30,482 --> 00:10:32,313
And that is not
how I roll.
253
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,074
You're right where
you're supposed to be.
254
00:10:34,162 --> 00:10:36,254
What, hiding in my room
crying about something
255
00:10:36,342 --> 00:10:38,187
that went down
30 years ago?
256
00:10:38,275 --> 00:10:40,129
What's happening to you
is very common.
257
00:10:40,217 --> 00:10:41,902
You've got almost five years,
258
00:10:41,990 --> 00:10:44,355
and you're starting to see
your past through sober glasses,
259
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:45,982
and that can be painful.
260
00:10:46,109 --> 00:10:47,652
Why during Christmas?
261
00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:49,832
We don't get to schedule
when it happens.
262
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,420
It just,
it comes up when it comes up.
263
00:10:53,595 --> 00:10:57,295
I once made a flight to Detroit
very, very uncomfortable
264
00:10:57,389 --> 00:10:58,774
for my seatmates.
265
00:10:58,861 --> 00:11:00,384
Why were you in Detroit?
266
00:11:00,471 --> 00:11:02,212
It's the National Cat Show.
267
00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:03,561
Is that why you were crying,
268
00:11:03,648 --> 00:11:05,623
'cause you paid to go
to a cat show?
269
00:11:05,955 --> 00:11:08,523
If you really must know,
I was crying
270
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:11,526
because 15 years earlier
I had cheated on my husband,
271
00:11:11,621 --> 00:11:13,590
and for some reason mid-flight,
272
00:11:13,678 --> 00:11:16,313
the enormity
of what I had done hit me.
273
00:11:16,802 --> 00:11:17,916
Oh.
274
00:11:22,362 --> 00:11:23,624
I get it.
275
00:11:23,712 --> 00:11:27,063
Recovery is
a never-ending process.
276
00:11:27,348 --> 00:11:30,005
We're slowly peeling back
layers of an onion.
277
00:11:30,138 --> 00:11:33,200
You don't get to see it all
at once, but that's a blessing.
278
00:11:33,583 --> 00:11:35,136
'Cause nobody could handle it.
279
00:11:36,888 --> 00:11:38,300
Bit of a situation.
280
00:11:38,388 --> 00:11:41,016
Patty has decided
to go kidnap her daughter.
281
00:11:41,104 --> 00:11:42,500
That's not the word she's using,
282
00:11:42,588 --> 00:11:44,916
but I'm telling you
that is what it is.
283
00:11:48,090 --> 00:11:49,469
Hey, what's going on?
284
00:11:49,557 --> 00:11:50,657
I'm going to get my daughter.
285
00:11:50,744 --> 00:11:51,835
Get out of my way.
286
00:11:51,923 --> 00:11:53,342
But what about your mom?
287
00:11:53,447 --> 00:11:55,039
Gonna wait till
she falls asleep,
288
00:11:55,127 --> 00:11:56,353
crawl through
the doggy door,
289
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,299
grab my kid and find a motel to
celebrate Christmas together.
290
00:11:59,432 --> 00:12:02,088
Oh, my God,
we're gonna be on Dateline.
291
00:12:03,815 --> 00:12:06,211
Patty... listen to me.
292
00:12:06,299 --> 00:12:07,867
Sometimes
when we're angry,
293
00:12:07,955 --> 00:12:09,845
we don't really make
the best decisions.
294
00:12:09,932 --> 00:12:12,064
I just want to hug
my daughter, okay?
295
00:12:12,151 --> 00:12:13,815
C-Come here. Sit down.
296
00:12:16,049 --> 00:12:17,635
Here, have some...
297
00:12:18,174 --> 00:12:19,791
chimney.
298
00:12:21,812 --> 00:12:24,424
I know what you're going
through is really painful...
299
00:12:24,512 --> 00:12:26,729
This is your first
sober Christmas...
300
00:12:26,901 --> 00:12:29,781
But like everything in sobriety,
you don't have to face it alone.
301
00:12:29,869 --> 00:12:30,692
You have me.
302
00:12:30,779 --> 00:12:31,693
You have all of us.
303
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:33,303
Yeah. And we're
gonna help you
304
00:12:33,390 --> 00:12:34,522
make the best of it.
305
00:12:34,609 --> 00:12:36,143
And as your sponsor,
I'm supposed
306
00:12:36,231 --> 00:12:38,551
to give you suggestions
that make you go, "Ugh,"
307
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,349
so here goes.
308
00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:44,364
I want you to text your
mother and say "thank you."
309
00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,608
Ugh! Why?
310
00:12:46,882 --> 00:12:49,493
For taking such good
care of your daughter.
311
00:12:49,580 --> 00:12:51,669
Just think about it.
312
00:12:53,671 --> 00:12:55,499
Come on.
313
00:12:55,586 --> 00:12:57,806
Let's get your stuff
back upstairs.
314
00:12:58,894 --> 00:13:00,417
Fine.
315
00:13:01,766 --> 00:13:04,135
If you're planning on
making a run for it,
316
00:13:04,224 --> 00:13:05,988
just know that I
am stronger than I look.
317
00:13:06,075 --> 00:13:08,164
- No, you're not.
- No, I'm not.
318
00:13:09,567 --> 00:13:11,195
You handled that
beautifully.
319
00:13:11,773 --> 00:13:13,943
Good,
'cause I want to die.
320
00:13:14,342 --> 00:13:16,881
But I'm not gonna ruin
another Christmas.
321
00:13:17,217 --> 00:13:18,955
Who wants to watch It's a Wonderful Life
322
00:13:19,043 --> 00:13:20,535
even though it's not?
323
00:13:21,371 --> 00:13:23,939
You know, it's early... we
could still go caroling.
324
00:13:24,027 --> 00:13:27,052
♪ O holy no.
325
00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:30,558
My God,
you have a beautiful voice.
326
00:13:30,917 --> 00:13:33,839
I guess I could do
a couple of houses.
327
00:13:34,951 --> 00:13:36,941
And that's how it's done.
328
00:13:40,054 --> 00:13:43,180
So what do we do, just knock
on a door and start singing?
329
00:13:43,329 --> 00:13:46,188
You don't knock on doors...
That's trick-or-treating.
330
00:13:46,336 --> 00:13:47,977
We stand in the yard and sing.
331
00:13:48,065 --> 00:13:51,039
If they like it, they come out
and give us cookies or candy.
332
00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:53,493
So it is
trick-or-treating.
333
00:13:55,202 --> 00:13:57,378
This is a pretty house.
334
00:13:57,945 --> 00:13:59,012

00:14:28,047 --> 00:14:29,954
No. This happens.
The important thing is
347
00:14:30,042 --> 00:14:32,436
we leave before they
turn the sprinklers on.
348
00:14:34,816 --> 00:14:36,258
Hey, it's me.
349
00:14:36,346 --> 00:14:38,391
You're not picking up, so
I'm just gonna leave a message.
350
00:14:38,471 --> 00:14:40,961
In that sweet picture
you sent me of you and your mom,
351
00:14:41,181 --> 00:14:42,967
why the hell are there
lady fingers on your arm,
352
00:14:43,054 --> 00:14:45,359
and why are they giving you
an affectionate squeeze?
353
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:47,820
Call me.
Who's the hand?
354
00:14:50,125 --> 00:14:52,014
God, I miss having
a boyfriend.
355
00:14:52,102 --> 00:14:53,961
I know. It's the best.
356
00:14:54,976 --> 00:14:56,826
Christy's been cheering
me up with stories
357
00:14:56,914 --> 00:14:58,666
- about what you used to be like.
- Mm.
358
00:14:58,753 --> 00:15:00,668
Did you really steal
wrapped Christmas presents
359
00:15:00,755 --> 00:15:02,955
- out of someone's car and give them toher?
- Yep.
360
00:15:03,042 --> 00:15:05,045
That was the year Christy
got an electric razor
361
00:15:05,133 --> 00:15:06,625
- and a smoking jacket.
- Ah.
362
00:15:07,675 --> 00:15:10,196
Might also have been the
year she started smoking.

Did you find...

Sorry. Did you find her?

No. But I talked to Andy.
403
00:16:41,002 --> 00:16:43,875
The fingers belong to his
ex-girlfriend from high school.
404
00:16:43,963 --> 00:16:46,861
He told me nothing's going
on, and I believe him.

Hey...

Look who's away
in a manger.
411
00:17:22,543 --> 00:17:24,042
Not funny.

Whatcha doin'?
413
00:17:27,118 --> 00:17:29,259
Just hanging out with Mary.
414
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:32,602
She was a good mother.
415
00:17:32,689 --> 00:17:33,821
I mean...
416
00:17:33,963 --> 00:17:36,773
like me, her...
pregnancy was a surprise,
417
00:17:36,861 --> 00:17:39,197
but after that,
she knocked it out of the park.
418
00:17:40,345 --> 00:17:41,741
Where's this coming from?
419
00:17:42,188 --> 00:17:45,017
Those stories you told Patty.
420
00:17:46,398 --> 00:17:47,790
I was so awful.
421
00:17:47,878 --> 00:17:50,884
I-I don't know how I'm
ever gonna make it up to you.
422
00:17:51,205 --> 00:17:53,064
You've already done it.
423
00:17:53,730 --> 00:17:57,736
You may just be feeling this,
but I'm finally over it.
424
00:17:57,931 --> 00:18:00,939
I can tell those stories because
they don't hurt me anymore.
425
00:18:02,335 --> 00:18:03,815
Also, people love them.
426
00:18:04,018 --> 00:18:06,249
They're real crowd-pleasers.
427
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,697
They are colorful.
428
00:18:09,858 --> 00:18:10,989
Mom...
429
00:18:11,162 --> 00:18:12,686
you've come so far.
430
00:18:13,304 --> 00:18:15,021
You're in such a healthy place.
431
00:18:15,109 --> 00:18:16,167
I'm so proud of you.
432
00:18:16,254 --> 00:18:17,351
Healthy?
433
00:18:17,439 --> 00:18:20,999
I've got straw in my underwear.
434
00:18:21,688 --> 00:18:24,364
But you're wearing underwear.
435
00:18:27,351 --> 00:18:28,773
Are you okay?
436
00:18:28,914 --> 00:18:29,958
Listen,
437
00:18:30,046 --> 00:18:32,378
if you want to find a sponsor
who's a little more together,
438
00:18:32,466 --> 00:18:34,403
I-I certainly would understand.
439
00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:37,448
Are you kidding?
They say you're supposed to want
440
00:18:37,536 --> 00:18:38,973
what your sponsor has.
441
00:18:39,466 --> 00:18:42,919
More than anything, I want
what you have with Christy.
442
00:18:43,802 --> 00:18:46,241
Check it out...
We're role models.
443
00:18:47,528 --> 00:18:49,331
I guess we are.
444
00:18:49,708 --> 00:18:51,420
And I did what you said.
445
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:53,552
I texted my mom
and thanked her.
446
00:18:53,896 --> 00:18:55,372
Good job.
447
00:18:55,966 --> 00:18:57,739
All right, come on,
let's go home.
448
00:18:57,827 --> 00:18:59,161
Okay.
449
00:18:59,753 --> 00:19:03,620
Christy, remember
when I stole the baby Jesus
450
00:19:03,708 --> 00:19:04,999
from the nativity scene.
451
00:19:05,086 --> 00:19:08,524
Yep. It was the only time
I got a doll for Christmas.
452
00:19:19,630 --> 00:19:21,418
Look how many presents there are
under the tree.
453
00:19:23,419 --> 00:19:26,966
Whoa. And there's
a stocking for me!
454
00:19:27,060 --> 00:19:29,263
Merry Christmas, girls!
455
00:19:30,442 --> 00:19:32,011
Can we start opening?
456
00:19:32,099 --> 00:19:35,153
Hold on. Adam! Come on,
we're waiting for you!
457
00:19:35,521 --> 00:19:37,880
I look ridiculous!
458
00:19:44,075 --> 00:19:46,717
Who's a good boy, Gussie?
459
00:19:47,047 --> 00:19:48,439
You're so good.
460
00:19:49,638 --> 00:19:51,208
It doesn't get better than this.
461
00:19:51,296 --> 00:19:53,442
It absolutely
gets better than this.
462
00:19:56,447 --> 00:19:58,013
Oh, my God.
463
00:19:58,101 --> 00:19:59,911
My mom's gonna let me FaceTime
with Erica
464
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:01,318
while she opens presents.
465
00:20:01,405 --> 00:20:03,161
That's fantastic!
466
00:20:03,249 --> 00:20:05,622
I'm so happy for you!
467
00:20:07,273 --> 00:20:09,458
Mom, why are
you crying now?
468
00:20:09,546 --> 00:20:12,075
I'm the best sponsor ever.
469
00:20:13,683 --> 00:20:16,278
- You kinda are.
- Aw...
470
00:20:17,219 --> 00:20:19,307
- Can I go change yet?
- No.
