happy to be around.

Happy to say I'm here.

00:00:24,643 --> 00:00:26,217
It's christmas.

It's christmas.

It's christmas.

Honey, your cookies
are ready I think.

00:00:34,486 --> 00:00:36,561
Oh, thank you, mom.

Cookie, cookie, cookie.
12
00:00:40,733 --> 00:00:42,250
They're looking so good!

Oh.

00:00:47,833 --> 00:00:49,407
Hey, no, cliff.
15
00:00:49,426 --> 00:00:50,741
What?
16
00:00:50,761 --> 00:00:53,320
Don't you want an
impartial tester
17
00:00:53,338 --> 00:00:55,097
For when you place these in
front of the judges at the bake
18
00:00:55,324 --> 00:00:56,323
Off?

00:00:56,416 --> 00:00:57,674
Ashley: You are
emceeing the contest.
20
00:00:57,768 --> 00:00:58,491
You'll get to taste all
of the cookies then.
21
00:00:58,510 --> 00:00:59,175
No.

00:00:59,328 --> 00:00:59,843

Just wait for them
to cool down a little.

Plus, they're not
even decorated yet.
26
00:01:10,930 --> 00:01:14,674
Am I allowed to have any
space whatsoever for my things?
27
00:01:14,693 --> 00:01:15,784
Ashley: Oh, sorry, mom.
28
00:01:16,011 --> 00:01:19,179
Just move anything you
need for some space, ok?
29
00:01:19,197 --> 00:01:20,288
Oh, thanks.
30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,623
That's so generous
of you in my house.

Oh, come on.
32
00:01:23,776 --> 00:01:25,293
You invite me over here every
year and ask me to do this.

Andrea: Because if
I didn't, I don't
34
00:01:26,872 --> 00:01:27,612
Think I'd see you the
entire month of December

Until christmas day.

What?
38
00:01:33,695 --> 00:01:35,712
Oh.
39
00:01:35,806 --> 00:01:39,048
Well, how do they taste?
40
00:01:39,143 --> 00:01:43,203
Ashley, these cookies
are absolutely delicious.
41
00:01:43,296 --> 00:01:45,313
Even if I did burn my mouth.
42
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:46,039
Good.
43
00:01:46,057 --> 00:01:46,982
Serves you right.

00:01:51,380 --> 00:01:51,987

00:02:05,002 --> 00:02:07,318
How did you know.
49
00:02:07,337 --> 00:02:08,128
And--
50
00:02:10,732 --> 00:02:11,840
Yes!
51
00:02:11,991 --> 00:02:12,674
Your famous christmas
cookies are finally here.
52
00:02:18,089 --> 00:02:19,997
Can you marry a cookie?
53
00:02:20,091 --> 00:02:24,019
Because this is what I want to
spend the rest of my life with.
54
00:02:24,170 --> 00:02:25,762
Is this the final version?
55
00:02:25,856 --> 00:02:29,507
I'm still tinkering with
the recipe, but it's close.
56
00:02:29,601 --> 00:02:31,193
Well, here you go.
57
00:02:31,344 --> 00:02:33,586
Thank you so much.
58
00:02:33,605 --> 00:02:34,029
- Have a great one.
- Thanks.
59
00:02:34,180 --> 00:02:35,772
See you later.
60
00:02:41,263 --> 00:02:41,853
You too.

00:02:41,854 --> 00:02:42,444
Here's your cappuccino.
62
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:43,930
Ooh!
63
00:02:43,949 --> 00:02:45,432
I'm honored that the vice
president of the store
64
00:02:45,525 --> 00:02:47,375
Brings me my morning coffee.
65
00:02:47,527 --> 00:02:49,452
Please promise to still do
this when mr. Collins retires
66
00:02:49,604 --> 00:02:51,028
And you take over the store?
67
00:02:51,122 --> 00:02:53,957
Also, not to be greedy but
is this all you have for me?
68
00:02:54,051 --> 00:02:57,610
I do believe christmas
cookies are in the building.
69
00:02:57,704 --> 00:03:02,557
Ah, word really
does travel fast.
70
00:03:02,784 --> 00:03:03,950
Aha!
71
00:03:04,043 --> 00:03:07,454
See, this is why I love
my queen of christmas.
72
00:03:07,472 --> 00:03:10,065
I don't suppose you have
a hot guy in there too?
73
00:03:10,216 --> 00:03:11,566
No, sadly not today.
74
00:03:11,718 --> 00:03:12,959
All right.
75
00:03:12,978 --> 00:03:13,960
Well, that needs to be a
priority on your holiday
76
00:03:13,979 --> 00:03:16,571
To-do list, ok?
77
00:03:16,723 --> 00:03:17,981
Because as much as I love you,
we cannot have another year

00:03:18,075 --> 00:03:20,742
Where we're each other's
dates for new year's eve.

is the busiest time of year
80
00:03:22,913 --> 00:03:24,637
For me.
81
00:03:24,656 --> 00:03:25,580
The last thing I have time
for is finding a date.
82
00:03:25,807 --> 00:03:27,490
Well, speak for
yourself because I
83
00:03:27,642 --> 00:03:29,918
Am determined to find someone
to kiss at midnight this year.
84
00:03:32,147 --> 00:03:35,665
You know that was fine
just the way it was.
85
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:36,649
I know.
86
00:03:36,743 --> 00:03:38,501

It's ok.

don't have to do that.

Yeah, no, I just--

I'm trying to figure out how
a seven-year-old can make such
105

A mess in less
than five seconds.
106
00:04:19,861 --> 00:04:21,469
Sadly it's not the
first time it's happened.
107
00:04:28,203 --> 00:04:30,461
Well, since you helped
me, is there anything
108
00:04:30,555 --> 00:04:32,055
I can help you with today?
109
00:04:32,149 --> 00:04:34,040
Yeah, yes.
110
00:04:34,059 --> 00:04:36,543
Would you happen to know
where mr. Collins' office is?
111
00:04:36,636 --> 00:04:37,060
Mr. Collins, the store owner.
112
00:04:37,212 --> 00:04:39,062
Ben: Yes.
113
00:04:39,214 --> 00:04:40,229
Yeah, he's just
in the back where
114
00:04:40,382 --> 00:04:41,806
The administrative offices are.
115
00:04:41,825 --> 00:04:42,824
I'm heading that way.
I could show you?
116
00:04:43,051 --> 00:04:44,326
Great, yeah.
117
00:04:44,553 --> 00:04:45,493
Is there something
you came in for today?
118
00:04:45,645 --> 00:04:46,569
Ben: Yeah.
119
00:04:46,721 --> 00:04:47,887
When I volunteered
to play santa
120
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:49,313
I had no idea what
I was in store for.
121
00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:50,890
Turns out the kid that
made a mess in here
122
00:04:50,909 --> 00:04:53,651
Also took out a christmas
tree on the main floor.
123
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:54,318
Thanks, john.
124
00:04:54,338 --> 00:04:55,653
I'll be right there.
125
00:04:55,672 --> 00:04:56,412
Good.
126
00:04:56,565 --> 00:04:58,173
Bye.
127
00:04:58,324 --> 00:05:01,067
Never a dull moment.

00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,735
Sorry, I have to handle this.
129
00:05:02,754 --> 00:05:04,921
But if you follow this hallway
all the way down there's
130
00:05:05,015 --> 00:05:08,499
A really big door and
he's behind that, so--
131
00:05:08,518 --> 00:05:09,926
Great.
132
00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:10,518
Thank you.
133
00:05:10,670 --> 00:05:11,853
Yeah, no problem.
134
00:05:14,691 --> 00:05:15,690
It's no problem.
135
00:05:18,195 --> 00:05:23,365

a little bit to the left?

maybe you could smile?

minutes ago, ash.

Ashley, I'm sure we already
have a photo we can use.
141
00:05:33,877 --> 00:05:36,378
I am just asking for one
more minute of patience, ok?
142
00:05:36,529 --> 00:05:38,028
Cliff, have I ever
complained when
143
00:05:38,123 --> 00:05:40,773
You ask me to carve 12 pumpkins
on Halloween for your display?
144
00:05:40,792 --> 00:05:42,217
No.
145
00:05:42,368 --> 00:05:44,127
And mom, have I ever complained
about wearing a turkey hat
146
00:05:44,221 --> 00:05:44,702
On thanksgiving?
147
00:05:44,721 --> 00:05:46,946
I have not.
148
00:05:46,965 --> 00:05:50,116
So all I need is 30
more seconds, ok?
149
00:05:50,209 --> 00:05:53,061
Ok, I am pressing the timer now.
150
00:05:56,641 --> 00:05:58,141
Ok.
151
00:05:58,293 --> 00:06:00,643
Say rudolph!
152
00:06:00,795 --> 00:06:01,403
Rudolph!
153
00:06:05,133 --> 00:06:06,132
Oh.
154
00:06:06,151 --> 00:06:08,559
Ok, yeah, no, it's not bad.
155
00:06:08,578 --> 00:06:10,912
I mean, it's not a "vanity
fair" cover, but it'll do.
156
00:06:11,063 --> 00:06:11,804
Buh, buh, buh, buh.
157
00:06:11,823 --> 00:06:12,396
Let me see.
158
00:06:12,490 --> 00:06:13,322
I want veto power.
159
00:06:13,475 --> 00:06:14,582
Oh, absolutely not.
160
00:06:14,809 --> 00:06:16,251
No.
161
00:06:16,478 --> 00:06:17,977
You lost all of your privileges
when you started playing around
162
00:06:17,996 --> 00:06:19,570
With photoshop.
163
00:06:19,589 --> 00:06:20,813
People still talk
about that photo
164
00:06:20,907 --> 00:06:22,239
And it was very embarrassing.
165
00:06:22,333 --> 00:06:23,049
Yeah, that was good.
166
00:06:26,838 --> 00:06:29,079
Oh, mom, you'll never guess
who I heard from the other day.
167
00:06:29,174 --> 00:06:30,173
- Who's that?
- Ben.
168
00:06:30,267 --> 00:06:31,099
You remember ben?
169
00:06:31,250 --> 00:06:31,824
Stephen: Who?
170
00:06:31,918 --> 00:06:33,159
Cliff: You know ben.
171
00:06:33,178 --> 00:06:33,584
We went to grade
school together.
172
00:06:33,678 --> 00:06:35,252
Ben collins?
173
00:06:35,272 --> 00:06:37,163
The two of you were inseparable.
174
00:06:37,182 --> 00:06:39,256
Sorry, who-- who's this ben?
175
00:06:39,276 --> 00:06:40,942
Stephen: I'd forgotten
all about him.
176
00:06:41,169 --> 00:06:43,427
Mr collins' a son from
his first marriage.
177
00:06:43,521 --> 00:06:44,520
Mr. Collins my boss?
178
00:06:44,673 --> 00:06:45,262
Mm-hmm.
179
00:06:45,282 --> 00:06:47,356
Ashley: He has a son?
180
00:06:47,509 --> 00:06:48,766
How did I not know about this.
181
00:06:48,785 --> 00:06:50,935
Andrea: Well, his parents
divorced when he was young
182
00:06:50,954 --> 00:06:52,120
And he went to live
with his mother
183
00:06:52,271 --> 00:06:54,289
And then I think
to boarding school.
184
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,682
I don't know.
185
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,350
We never really
saw him after that.
186
00:06:57,443 --> 00:06:59,686
Ashley: Huh, it's
kind of strange.
187
00:06:59,704 --> 00:07:01,688
You'd think he would have
mentioned him at some point.
188
00:07:01,781 --> 00:07:04,691
No, we don't know
the whole story.
189
00:07:04,709 --> 00:07:06,192
I'm sure he had his reasons.
190
00:07:06,211 --> 00:07:08,878
So what brings him to
town after so many years?
191
00:07:09,030 --> 00:07:09,804
Cliff: I'm not sure.
192
00:07:09,956 --> 00:07:10,379
I'm going to see
him later though.
193
00:07:10,532 --> 00:07:13,216
I'll ask him.
194
00:07:13,368 --> 00:07:13,975
Can we do one more?
195
00:07:14,202 --> 00:07:15,977
Oh, please.
196
00:07:18,482 --> 00:07:22,208
Ashley: Ok, then of
the three, I think
197
00:07:22,227 --> 00:07:23,968
We should go with this one.
198
00:07:23,987 --> 00:07:26,154
I feel like we have
this dilemma every year.
199
00:07:28,992 --> 00:07:30,325
What's wrong?
200
00:07:30,476 --> 00:07:32,977
You seem preoccupied.
201
00:07:32,996 --> 00:07:38,558
Ashley, you know how much
you mean to me and the store.
202
00:07:38,576 --> 00:07:40,818
That's nice of you to say.
203
00:07:40,837 --> 00:07:42,837
And I've been
trying to figure out
204
00:07:43,064 --> 00:07:47,250
How to have this
conversation for days.
205
00:07:47,402 --> 00:07:49,511
And--
206
00:07:49,738 --> 00:07:50,086
What?
207
00:07:50,238 --> 00:07:52,588
What is it?
208
00:07:52,682 --> 00:07:55,833
I have the same discussion
with myself every year,
209
00:07:55,927 --> 00:08:01,931
What the future will bring, and
should I hand over the reins
210
00:08:02,025 --> 00:08:02,357
To someone else?
211
00:08:02,508 --> 00:08:04,008
Really?
212
00:08:04,102 --> 00:08:07,695
I-- I had no idea.
213
00:08:07,847 --> 00:08:12,091
Well, I think you know how
much I appreciate what you've
214
00:08:12,184 --> 00:08:14,351
Done to bring the
emporium to where it is.
215
00:08:14,445 --> 00:08:16,262
You're like family.
216
00:08:16,281 --> 00:08:18,431
So are you.
217
00:08:18,449 --> 00:08:23,878
Which is why I didn't
want you to be blindsided.
218
00:08:24,105 --> 00:08:25,046
Oh.
219
00:08:25,273 --> 00:08:27,865
By?
220
00:08:27,884 --> 00:08:30,126
Well, you don't know
this, but I have a son
221
00:08:30,278 --> 00:08:33,629
From my first marriage,
and he's come home.
222
00:08:33,782 --> 00:08:37,784
I-- I actually found
out about this yesterday.
223
00:08:37,802 --> 00:08:38,785
Oh?
224
00:08:38,878 --> 00:08:41,211
It turns out that
my brother cliff
225
00:08:41,231 --> 00:08:43,565
And him were friends
when they were little.
226
00:08:43,792 --> 00:08:44,791
Oh.
227
00:08:44,884 --> 00:08:46,976
Ashley: I have to say, I'm--
228
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:51,055
I'm a bit surprised you
never mentioned him.
229
00:08:51,074 --> 00:08:53,649
I'd say it's a tough
situation to talk about,
230
00:08:53,743 --> 00:08:55,726
So generally I don't.
231
00:08:55,745 --> 00:08:58,654
I feel like I've
failed as a father.
232
00:08:58,807 --> 00:09:02,308
But we're having a
brand new start, I hope,
233
00:09:02,401 --> 00:09:04,252
And we're figuring things out.
234
00:09:04,403 --> 00:09:09,924
And hopefully he's going to
help expand our online presence.
235
00:09:10,076 --> 00:09:12,168
I mean, you're still going to
be the vice president in charge
236
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,670
Of day to day operations,
but I'd love it
237
00:09:14,764 --> 00:09:18,600
If you could show him the
ropes, help him get a better
238
00:09:18,827 --> 00:09:21,603
Understanding of how
the business works.
239
00:09:21,830 --> 00:09:23,496
And if things work
out, I'm hoping
240
00:09:23,589 --> 00:09:25,255
He'll take a bigger role here.
241
00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:27,442
I see the two of you working
together to make this store
242
00:09:27,593 --> 00:09:28,610
The best it can be.
243
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,946
Of course.
244
00:09:32,173 --> 00:09:32,614
Sure, yeah.
245
00:09:32,841 --> 00:09:33,448
You know, he's here.
246
00:09:33,599 --> 00:09:35,191
Why don't I introduce you?
247
00:09:35,343 --> 00:09:35,524
Oh, ok.
248
00:09:35,677 --> 00:09:36,951
Ben.
249
00:09:43,017 --> 00:09:44,292
Ben: Hey, everything
ok in santa's workshop?
250
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,369
Huh?
251
00:09:46,521 --> 00:09:49,021
Right, yes.
252
00:09:49,115 --> 00:09:50,206
Yeah, everything is fine now.
253
00:09:50,358 --> 00:09:51,633
Good.
254
00:09:51,784 --> 00:09:53,301
You two know each other?
255
00:09:53,452 --> 00:09:56,379
Ben: Yeah, we met
briefly yesterday.
256
00:09:56,531 --> 00:09:56,863
Hi, I'm--
257
00:09:56,881 --> 00:09:57,530
Ashley.
258
00:09:57,623 --> 00:09:58,381
I-- how did you know?
259
00:09:58,475 --> 00:10:00,290
Oh, cliff.
260
00:10:00,310 --> 00:10:00,642
Yeah, he told me you--
261
00:10:00,793 --> 00:10:01,458
He did.
262
00:10:01,478 --> 00:10:02,292
Ben: --Ran things here.
263
00:10:02,312 --> 00:10:04,704
Right.
264
00:10:04,797 --> 00:10:05,963
Well, this makes
me feel better.
265
00:10:06,057 --> 00:10:07,482
It's a good thing I think, huh?
266
00:10:09,653 --> 00:10:12,228
Well, you two must just
have so much to talk about
267
00:10:12,322 --> 00:10:17,216
So I'll leave you to it.
268
00:10:17,235 --> 00:10:18,384
Ben, I'm really looking
forward to working with you.
269
00:10:18,403 --> 00:10:21,162
Same here.
270
00:10:21,389 --> 00:10:22,997
Ok.
271
00:10:26,227 --> 00:10:26,559
Oop, sorry.
272
00:10:26,577 --> 00:10:29,337
Oh, ok.
273
00:10:29,564 --> 00:10:30,838
Ok, bye.
274
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:33,341
Bye.
275
00:10:33,568 --> 00:10:35,176
She's great.
276
00:10:35,403 --> 00:10:36,736
You're going to love
working with her.
277
00:10:36,754 --> 00:10:40,181
There's so much you
can learn from her.
278
00:10:40,332 --> 00:10:42,074
Dad, I have an mba.
279
00:10:42,093 --> 00:10:44,260
I've worked for companies
a lot bigger than this.
280
00:10:44,354 --> 00:10:47,747
Yes, but I mean she knows the
store backwards and forwards
281
00:10:47,765 --> 00:10:49,339
And the employees love her.
282
00:10:49,434 --> 00:10:51,584
I mean, that's important.
283
00:10:51,602 --> 00:10:54,195
Well then, maybe you
don't need me here.
284
00:10:54,346 --> 00:10:55,922
No, I'm sorry.
285
00:10:55,940 --> 00:10:58,348
I wasn't suggest-- look, I know
we have some things to work
286
00:10:58,368 --> 00:11:01,035
Through.
287
00:11:01,187 --> 00:11:03,095
But you know, I don't want to
get off on the wrong foot here.
288
00:11:03,114 --> 00:11:06,874
You know, I'm glad you're here.
289
00:11:07,101 --> 00:11:08,117
Ok.
290
00:11:08,211 --> 00:11:08,876
Ben sr: Great.
291
00:11:16,386 --> 00:11:17,885
Andie: So what have you heard?
292
00:11:18,037 --> 00:11:21,113
Rumor has it mr. Collins is
bringing in some kind of wonder
293
00:11:21,207 --> 00:11:22,281
Kid to help grow the business.
294
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:23,874
Mm.
295
00:11:23,893 --> 00:11:27,303
Yeah, some kind of mba type
with lots of ideas causing
296
00:11:27,397 --> 00:11:28,521
A lot of changes.
297
00:11:31,717 --> 00:11:32,959
You know something.
298
00:11:32,977 --> 00:11:33,693
Hmm?
299
00:11:37,407 --> 00:11:38,406
You can't tell anyone.
300
00:11:38,633 --> 00:11:39,389
Promise.
301
00:11:39,409 --> 00:11:39,741
It's me!
302
00:11:39,968 --> 00:11:43,411
Come on.
303
00:11:43,638 --> 00:11:44,912
Ok, nothing has
been announced yet,
304
00:11:45,064 --> 00:11:46,989
But yes, he is
bringing in someone.
305
00:11:47,141 --> 00:11:50,493
And get this, it's his son ben.
306
00:11:50,587 --> 00:11:53,329
Mr. Collins has a son?
307
00:11:53,481 --> 00:11:54,497
Mm-hmm.
308
00:11:54,591 --> 00:11:56,165
Is he single?
309
00:11:56,317 --> 00:11:57,500
Is that seriously
always your first thought?
310
00:11:57,652 --> 00:12:00,244
Yeah.
311
00:12:00,338 --> 00:12:01,654
I told you I'm determined to
find a date for new year's eve.
312
00:12:01,672 --> 00:12:04,657
Don't tell me has a
girlfriend or he's married.
313
00:12:04,675 --> 00:12:07,676
You really are unbelievable.
314
00:12:07,771 --> 00:12:11,831
No, he-- apparently he came
back because they haven't talked
315
00:12:11,849 --> 00:12:14,591
In years and he wants to
rebuild the relationship.
316
00:12:14,685 --> 00:12:16,502
Oh, that's kind of sweet.
317
00:12:16,521 --> 00:12:19,505
But how are you
doing with all this?
318
00:12:19,524 --> 00:12:22,024
I mean, how is this
going to impact you?
319
00:12:22,118 --> 00:12:23,359
I don't know.
320
00:12:23,453 --> 00:12:24,844
It's all so complicated.
321
00:12:24,937 --> 00:12:26,362
Nothing's been determined yet.
322
00:12:26,456 --> 00:12:28,272
But I can't say I'm not
at least a little worried,
323
00:12:28,366 --> 00:12:32,109
Especially after putting in so
much work the last few years.
324
00:12:32,128 --> 00:12:33,519
Well yeah, I mean,
we both thought
325
00:12:33,538 --> 00:12:36,205
You would take over for mr.
Collins when he retired.
326
00:12:36,299 --> 00:12:39,449
But now you have to deal with
the prodigal son returning?
327
00:12:39,469 --> 00:12:41,027
I hate to say it, but
maybe you should reconsider
328
00:12:41,045 --> 00:12:41,377
That other job opportunity.
329
00:12:41,529 --> 00:12:43,304
I know.
330
00:12:43,455 --> 00:12:44,806
I thought about that.
331
00:12:45,033 --> 00:12:48,384
I do want to see how things
play out here, but you're right.
332
00:12:48,478 --> 00:12:50,219
It's probably smart to
keep my options open,
333
00:12:50,313 --> 00:12:52,796
At least until I know
what all of this means.
334
00:12:52,890 --> 00:12:56,542
Yeah, I don't disagree.
335
00:12:56,561 --> 00:12:58,486
So what's he like, the son?
336
00:12:58,637 --> 00:13:00,880
That's the worst part.
337
00:13:00,898 --> 00:13:03,382
He's actually really nice.
338
00:13:03,401 --> 00:13:05,142
Ok.
339
00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:07,386
The way you say that makes it
sound like he's kind of hot.
340
00:13:07,405 --> 00:13:08,478
Oh, I did not say that.
341
00:13:08,498 --> 00:13:09,055
Ok, show me a pic.
342
00:13:09,073 --> 00:13:10,665
Show me a pic!
343
00:13:10,892 --> 00:13:11,833
Andie, why would I
have a picture of him?
344
00:13:11,984 --> 00:13:13,334
Did you not do
an internet search?
345
00:13:13,561 --> 00:13:14,410
No.
346
00:13:14,562 --> 00:13:15,728
Ashley.
347
00:13:15,746 --> 00:13:16,562
Ben collins?
348
00:13:16,581 --> 00:13:17,505
Ben collins.
349
00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:19,340
Huh.
350
00:13:23,237 --> 00:13:24,512
Huh?
351
00:13:24,663 --> 00:13:26,405
That's your response?
352
00:13:26,424 --> 00:13:28,090
Well, yeah.
353
00:13:28,242 --> 00:13:30,184
He kind of looks like this guy
that was in my section today.
354
00:13:30,336 --> 00:13:32,244
And at first I was
like, hello, hottie.
355
00:13:32,263 --> 00:13:34,504
But then he started asking
all these weird questions.
356
00:13:34,599 --> 00:13:36,840
Well, strange how?
357
00:13:36,860 --> 00:13:40,528
Like he was talking about
profit margins and efficacies
358
00:13:40,755 --> 00:13:42,530
Of sale.
359
00:13:42,681 --> 00:13:45,199
And then when I heard the rumor
I thought it was kind of odd.
360
00:13:45,426 --> 00:13:46,033
Yeah.
361
00:13:48,872 --> 00:13:50,037
Ben sr: Good morning.
362
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:53,099
I know christmas is our
busiest season, which
363
00:13:53,192 --> 00:13:55,935
Makes it tough on all of you.
364
00:13:55,953 --> 00:14:01,382
But I couldn't be more proud of
this store, you, and what we've
365
00:14:01,533 --> 00:14:02,717
Accomplished.
366
00:14:02,868 --> 00:14:06,112
I like to feel
we're a family here.
367
00:14:06,205 --> 00:14:10,207
And without family,
where would we be?
368
00:14:10,226 --> 00:14:13,119
And speaking of
family, one of mine
369
00:14:13,137 --> 00:14:15,062
Has come back into my life--
370
00:14:15,289 --> 00:14:16,472
My son ben.
371
00:14:16,566 --> 00:14:18,065
We recently reconnected.
372
00:14:18,217 --> 00:14:19,642
And as you can see,
the apple hasn't
373
00:14:19,794 --> 00:14:21,402
Fallen far from the tree.
374
00:14:21,553 --> 00:14:23,571
[chuckles]
375
00:14:24,574 --> 00:14:30,077
For me, this store is my life.
376
00:14:30,229 --> 00:14:32,805
And as I look to
the future, I feel
377
00:14:32,823 --> 00:14:37,977
I've taken this
store, the emporium,
378
00:14:37,995 --> 00:14:40,237
As far as I can on my own.
379
00:14:40,256 --> 00:14:44,333
But with ben's skills
and experience,
380
00:14:44,485 --> 00:14:48,078
I know he can keep
us competitive
381
00:14:48,097 --> 00:14:49,838
And take this store
to the next level.
382
00:14:49,933 --> 00:14:54,602
And to that end, please
help me welcome my son ben.
383
00:14:54,753 --> 00:14:56,562
[applause]
384
00:15:01,427 --> 00:15:04,261
Thank you all for
that warm welcome.
385
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,780
I'm extremely excited to be--
386
00:15:06,007 --> 00:15:08,691
Oh god, why is he
wearing that suit?
387
00:15:08,843 --> 00:15:10,192
I kind of love
a man in a suit.
388
00:15:10,286 --> 00:15:12,769
Yeah, but it's a bit
corporate don't you think?
389
00:15:12,789 --> 00:15:15,790
Ben: --All of you as
we bring the emporium
390
00:15:15,941 --> 00:15:16,958
To the national stage.
391
00:15:20,296 --> 00:15:21,203
Thank you.
392
00:15:21,297 --> 00:15:23,255
[applause]
393
00:15:33,701 --> 00:15:35,309
Come on in.
394
00:15:42,376 --> 00:15:42,966
Candy cane?
395
00:15:42,986 --> 00:15:45,878
Uh, no, thank you.
396
00:15:45,971 --> 00:15:49,973
You may want to
ditch the suit.
397
00:15:49,993 --> 00:15:51,158
I was worried you'd say that.
398
00:15:51,310 --> 00:15:53,810
I was getting a couple
of looks from the crowd.
399
00:15:53,830 --> 00:15:55,221
Don't get me wrong,
you look great in it.
400
00:15:55,314 --> 00:15:56,055
It's just I think
for some people
401
00:15:56,073 --> 00:15:58,482
It was a tad intimidating.
402
00:15:58,501 --> 00:15:59,742
You've seen the people
around the store.
403
00:15:59,894 --> 00:16:00,743
No one really dresses like this.
404
00:16:00,837 --> 00:16:01,894
Ben: Yeah.
405
00:16:01,912 --> 00:16:02,745
Except for the salespeople.
406
00:16:02,897 --> 00:16:03,820
In the suit department.
407
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,007
In the suit department, yeah.
408
00:16:06,158 --> 00:16:07,341
I was trying to make
a good impression.
409
00:16:07,493 --> 00:16:08,917
Ashley: Oh, and I
totally get that.
410
00:16:09,070 --> 00:16:10,252
It's just, you know,
we're a tight knit group.
411
00:16:10,404 --> 00:16:13,180
Well, like your dad
said, like a family.
412
00:16:13,332 --> 00:16:13,681
And the suit just
feels a little--
413
00:16:13,832 --> 00:16:15,424
Management.
414
00:16:15,576 --> 00:16:16,742
Yeah.
415
00:16:16,761 --> 00:16:17,593
Yeah, you just want
to be approachable.
416
00:16:17,745 --> 00:16:19,078
Thanks.
417
00:16:19,171 --> 00:16:20,003
And I'm still navigating
these waters, so.
418
00:16:20,097 --> 00:16:20,763
I appreciate that.
419
00:16:20,915 --> 00:16:22,023
Yeah.
420
00:16:22,174 --> 00:16:23,432
Speaking of
navigating waters, I
421
00:16:23,526 --> 00:16:26,435
Know this is all new
but I've been thinking.
422
00:16:26,587 --> 00:16:28,362
I've been walking
through the store
423
00:16:28,514 --> 00:16:31,440
And I think there's a couple of
ways we can improve and update
424
00:16:31,592 --> 00:16:31,699
Things.
425
00:16:31,926 --> 00:16:34,093
Oh.
426
00:16:34,111 --> 00:16:36,095
I-- I was under the
impression that you
427
00:16:36,113 --> 00:16:37,279
Liked what I had done here.
428
00:16:37,373 --> 00:16:38,113
Oh, I do.
429
00:16:38,266 --> 00:16:39,114
I do.
430
00:16:39,267 --> 00:16:40,875
But I think change is good.
431
00:16:41,102 --> 00:16:42,877
I just-- I want to
keep the store in sync
432
00:16:43,104 --> 00:16:45,621
With how people
act and shop today.
433
00:16:45,773 --> 00:16:47,381
Ok.
434
00:16:47,608 --> 00:16:50,367
Um, such as?
435
00:16:50,386 --> 00:16:53,779
Well, we need to focus on
some higher profit margin goods.
436
00:16:53,798 --> 00:16:56,615
Push people to order
online, come into the store,
437
00:16:56,708 --> 00:17:00,377
Pick up what they
ordered, and get out.
438
00:17:00,396 --> 00:17:02,712
It's just-- it's more
efficient over time
439
00:17:02,732 --> 00:17:04,231
And it reduces overhead.
440
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:05,474
Ok.
441
00:17:05,626 --> 00:17:06,792
It's not that it's a bad idea.
442
00:17:06,885 --> 00:17:08,143
It's just a little impersonal.
443
00:17:08,296 --> 00:17:09,719
Mm-hmm.
444
00:17:09,739 --> 00:17:11,463
What makes this store
special is the personal touch
445
00:17:11,482 --> 00:17:12,631
That we give to everything.
446
00:17:12,650 --> 00:17:14,057
And we have done surveys
with our shoppers,
447
00:17:14,077 --> 00:17:16,135
And that's what's
keeping them loyal.
448
00:17:16,153 --> 00:17:17,561
And I appreciate all that.
449
00:17:17,580 --> 00:17:19,655
But ultimately, we want to
appeal to a broader customer
450
00:17:19,807 --> 00:17:22,308
Base.
451
00:17:22,326 --> 00:17:23,900
People want things quick and
easy, it increases sales,
452
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,545
And everyone's happy.
453
00:17:30,593 --> 00:17:33,001
Don't you think you
want to just, you know,
454
00:17:33,154 --> 00:17:36,989
Observe a little, settle
before you start summarily
455
00:17:37,007 --> 00:17:37,932
Making changes?
456
00:17:40,436 --> 00:17:41,844
Ashley, I've been
doing this for years.
457
00:17:41,938 --> 00:17:42,344
That's great.
458
00:17:42,496 --> 00:17:44,346
So have I.
459
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,922
And I hear that.
460
00:17:45,942 --> 00:17:50,018
But I bring in fresh perspective
and years of experience
461
00:17:50,113 --> 00:17:50,853
In the industry.
462
00:17:51,005 --> 00:17:52,020
Change can be good.
463
00:17:52,173 --> 00:17:54,931
I am not opposed
to change, but I
464
00:17:55,025 --> 00:17:56,933
Don't think that means that
you completely ignore what's
465
00:17:57,027 --> 00:17:58,768
Worked in the past.
466
00:17:58,788 --> 00:18:01,180
I have been working at this
store for a very long time
467
00:18:01,198 --> 00:18:04,774
And I have a pretty good idea
of what works and what doesn't.
468
00:18:04,794 --> 00:18:07,795
Ok, I appreciate your
competitive spirit.
469
00:18:08,022 --> 00:18:10,965
Oh, are we turning
this into a competition?
470
00:18:11,116 --> 00:18:13,859
Because I do love
a good challenge.
471
00:18:13,878 --> 00:18:15,694
Well, if that's how
you want to play it,
472
00:18:15,713 --> 00:18:18,472
You do things your way
and I'll do things mine,
473
00:18:18,624 --> 00:18:21,383
And I think you'll come to
appreciate that mine are just
474
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:22,868
Better.
475
00:18:22,887 --> 00:18:24,961
Oh, I am so sorry to tell
you that you are already
476
00:18:24,981 --> 00:18:27,297
Losing because you are
so wrong about that.
477
00:18:27,316 --> 00:18:30,317
Don't worry, I am very
sure you'll get used to it.
478
00:18:33,731 --> 00:18:34,880
Cliff: She reacted how?
479
00:18:34,899 --> 00:18:36,657
Oh, I must have cut
her off guard a bit.
480
00:18:36,808 --> 00:18:38,550
I mean, she's feisty.
481
00:18:38,569 --> 00:18:39,142
I like that.
482
00:18:39,236 --> 00:18:40,719
Yeah, she's feisty.
483
00:18:40,738 --> 00:18:42,145
There's no doubt.
484
00:18:42,165 --> 00:18:43,497
Well, you know, she's
been there for years
485
00:18:43,649 --> 00:18:45,407
Really making that
store what it is.
486
00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:46,983
You got to understand for the
past decade it's just been her
487
00:18:47,077 --> 00:18:49,578
And your dad running the place,
so you coming in probably
488
00:18:49,672 --> 00:18:50,462
Threw her.
489
00:18:52,842 --> 00:18:54,566
Yeah.
490
00:18:54,585 --> 00:18:56,585
Yeah, I got that.
491
00:18:56,737 --> 00:18:58,995
Plus, she was raised
in a house where we all
492
00:18:59,015 --> 00:19:00,830
Played sports, you know?
493
00:19:00,850 --> 00:19:02,591
She's super competitive.
494
00:19:02,685 --> 00:19:05,352
And I know it might seem like
she's got a rough exterior,
495
00:19:05,579 --> 00:19:08,505
But I'm telling you, on
the inside she's a softy.
496
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:11,083
She loves and knows that place
better than anybody other
497
00:19:11,101 --> 00:19:12,175
Than your father.
498
00:19:12,195 --> 00:19:13,527
You just got to respect that.
499
00:19:13,754 --> 00:19:14,253
Yeah.
500
00:19:14,346 --> 00:19:17,531
Yeah, I hear that.
501
00:19:17,683 --> 00:19:20,850
I just-- I guess in some ways
I'm jealous of her relationship
502
00:19:20,945 --> 00:19:22,703
With him, you know?
503
00:19:22,854 --> 00:19:24,446
It's like they have the
relationship I've always
504
00:19:24,598 --> 00:19:25,855
Wanted.
505
00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:31,103
I just-- it's like I don't
know him at all, you know?
506
00:19:31,196 --> 00:19:33,605
Well, I'm positive
ashley would be more
507
00:19:33,699 --> 00:19:35,198
Than happy to help in any way.
508
00:19:35,292 --> 00:19:36,275
She loves your dad.
509
00:19:36,368 --> 00:19:37,534
She would do anything for him.
510
00:19:37,553 --> 00:19:40,704
And I'm pretty sure
this qualifies.
511
00:19:40,723 --> 00:19:42,038
You think she'd do it?
512
00:19:42,058 --> 00:19:44,800
Yeah, of course.
513
00:19:44,894 --> 00:19:45,893
Hey, you hungry?
514
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,377
I could eat.
515
00:19:47,396 --> 00:19:48,454
My parents live
really close to here.
516
00:19:48,472 --> 00:19:50,456
My mom is an amazing cook.
517
00:19:50,474 --> 00:19:52,233
Let's go grab some dinner.
518
00:19:52,384 --> 00:19:54,126
Ashley might be there.
519
00:19:54,144 --> 00:19:57,463
And I know my parents
would love to see you.
520
00:19:57,556 --> 00:20:01,725
Yeah, that--
that sounds great.
521
00:20:01,744 --> 00:20:03,727
Let me just run by mine.
522
00:20:03,746 --> 00:20:05,746
I don't want to show
up empty handed.
523
00:20:05,973 --> 00:20:06,705
Ok.
524
00:20:11,328 --> 00:20:13,504
♪♪
525
00:20:16,592 --> 00:20:19,835
Can you get carpal tunnel
from tying too many ribbons?
526
00:20:19,987 --> 00:20:21,987
[chuckles] how many is that?
527
00:20:22,006 --> 00:20:24,598
I don't
even know, but I have four left.
528
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:26,558
I can't wait to get mine.
I look forward to it every year.
529
00:20:28,754 --> 00:20:31,939
Well, unfortunately you're
going to have to wait this year.
530
00:20:32,090 --> 00:20:35,442
Because the first batch
is going to the people at the s.
531
00:20:36,687 --> 00:20:38,186
I had no less than 10
people ask me about it today.
532
00:20:38,339 --> 00:20:42,283
Fine, but then you'll have to wt
to get your batch of christmas .
533
00:20:42,785 --> 00:20:44,860
Oh, but you know how much I--
534
00:20:44,954 --> 00:20:47,937
You know how much I love that s.
535
00:20:48,682 --> 00:20:51,292
Well, like you, I'm making
it for the people at my work.
536
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,870
I do love that you make so
many homemade gifts for people,.
537
00:20:54,964 --> 00:20:57,039
It's clearly rubbed off on me.
538
00:20:57,191 --> 00:20:58,716
It just means that much more.
539
00:20:59,135 --> 00:21:00,617
I agree.
540
00:21:00,636 --> 00:21:02,469
Even if my fingers fall
off from tying all these bows.
541
00:21:02,696 --> 00:21:04,763
[cliff] mom?
542
00:21:05,141 --> 00:21:06,289
In here!
543
00:21:06,309 --> 00:21:07,474
[cliff] I've got a surprise
for you!
544
00:21:08,218 --> 00:21:09,435
I hope it's okay
to add one to dinner.
545
00:21:11,314 --> 00:21:13,731
Ben!
Is that you? How long has it be?
546
00:21:15,318 --> 00:21:17,985
I don't think you even came
up to my waist last time I saw .
547
00:21:18,212 --> 00:21:20,228
It's been, uh...
It's been a while.
548
00:21:20,323 --> 00:21:21,488
Welcome.
549
00:21:21,715 --> 00:21:23,473
I hope
this is not an imposition.
550
00:21:23,492 --> 00:21:25,159
Cliff said I could come over.
551
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:27,328
Oh, of course not.
We're just happy to see you.
552
00:21:27,555 --> 00:21:28,996
Hi, ashley.
553
00:21:30,391 --> 00:21:31,147
Hi, ben.
554
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:33,483
So how can I help with dinner?
555
00:21:33,502 --> 00:21:36,152
You can't. You're our guest,
you relax.
556
00:21:36,246 --> 00:21:39,656
Everything's ready out here. An,
cliff, you help me set the tabl.
557
00:21:39,675 --> 00:21:42,926
And ashley,
why don't you show ben around?
558
00:21:45,497 --> 00:21:47,848
Duty calls.
Play nice.
559
00:21:58,194 --> 00:22:00,844
Wow, these
decorations are beautiful.
560
00:22:00,938 --> 00:22:01,695
Your mom has a nice touch.
561
00:22:01,847 --> 00:22:03,697
I actually did them.
562
00:22:04,258 --> 00:22:04,782
Ahh.
563
00:22:06,852 --> 00:22:08,535
Guess I shouldn't
be surprised.
564
00:22:08,687 --> 00:22:09,703
What is it you call yourself,
the queen of christmas?
565
00:22:11,207 --> 00:22:12,689
I don't call myself that,
other people call me that.
566
00:22:12,708 --> 00:22:15,876
- I can't help what they say.
- Right.
567
00:22:20,791 --> 00:22:25,886
Mmm, that candle smells amazing.
Reminds me of christmas at my h.
568
00:22:27,281 --> 00:22:28,296
I should probably
buy a few for my place.
569
00:22:28,391 --> 00:22:30,557
I'm assuming you got
them at the emporium?
570
00:22:30,709 --> 00:22:32,542
No, actually.
571
00:22:33,137 --> 00:22:36,563
I gave those to my parents for
christmas last year. I made the.
572
00:22:36,715 --> 00:22:37,881
[chuckles]
573
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,292
Guess I shouldn't be surprised
574
00:22:40,310 --> 00:22:42,694
After seeing the
wonders you've done in the stor.
575
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,907
I just really love making
things for people for christmas.
576
00:22:47,651 --> 00:22:49,468
I think these days people often
buy something
577
00:22:49,486 --> 00:22:51,412
Without
really giving much thought to I.
578
00:22:51,563 --> 00:22:53,155
And it's so transactional.
579
00:22:53,249 --> 00:22:55,157
Whereas, if you make
something for someone it just...
580
00:22:55,309 --> 00:22:55,499
It really shows them you care.
581
00:22:57,327 --> 00:22:59,828
That's odd, coming from someone
who runs a department store.
582
00:22:59,980 --> 00:23:02,589
Don't get me wrong.
583
00:23:02,741 --> 00:23:04,591
You can absolutely buy something
special for someone, too.
584
00:23:04,743 --> 00:23:06,835
That's why I like to
support our local artisans
585
00:23:06,929 --> 00:23:08,053
And have their stuff at the sto.
586
00:23:09,490 --> 00:23:11,098
[mom] dinner's ready!
587
00:23:15,921 --> 00:23:19,681
Mrs. Mackenzie, thank you so mu.
This was amazing.
588
00:23:19,775 --> 00:23:23,351
Well, we're so glad to have
you here at dinner and back in .
589
00:23:23,446 --> 00:23:26,262
Yes, and I get to work
with your incredible daughter.
590
00:23:26,282 --> 00:23:29,098
I'm sure you
both know how talented she is.
591
00:23:29,118 --> 00:23:30,784
Well, we are
very proud of our little girl.
592
00:23:30,936 --> 00:23:35,372
She's done wonders at the store.
Such attention to detail.
593
00:23:36,292 --> 00:23:37,875
That she gets from her mother.
594
00:23:38,368 --> 00:23:39,034
[mom] mm!
595
00:23:39,186 --> 00:23:41,962
Oh, which reminds me...
596
00:23:42,948 --> 00:23:45,090
This is for you.
597
00:23:47,027 --> 00:23:50,304
Ben, it's gorgeous.
598
00:23:50,455 --> 00:23:52,197
Did you make this?
599
00:23:52,216 --> 00:23:55,200
I did. I do a
bit of woodworking in my spare .
600
00:23:56,053 --> 00:23:59,146
I have this really cool machine
that carves any shape out of wo.
601
00:23:59,297 --> 00:24:01,648
As long as you
put the design in the computer,
602
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,233
Take it out, sand it off
then varnish it and voilà.
603
00:24:04,394 --> 00:24:06,278
Ashley, would you look at this?
604
00:24:08,974 --> 00:24:12,075
It's very impressive... For
something made by a computer.
605
00:24:13,979 --> 00:24:15,245
[dad] let's see.
606
00:24:16,573 --> 00:24:18,073
Ashley...
607
00:24:18,225 --> 00:24:20,334
It looks like he could give your
ornaments a run for their money.
608
00:24:22,004 --> 00:24:24,004
I know just where I'm gonna put.
609
00:24:25,415 --> 00:24:28,342
It's getting the
prime spot on the tree.
610
00:24:28,844 --> 00:24:31,160
Oh, you don't have to do that.
611
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:33,830
[mom] but I want to.
This is special.
612
00:24:33,924 --> 00:24:35,741
It deserves to be seen.
613
00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:38,936
Whoa. Ashley's
ornament's getting dethroned.
614
00:24:39,838 --> 00:24:42,773
[chuckling]
615
00:24:54,928 --> 00:24:57,037
Oh.
616
00:24:57,948 --> 00:24:59,706
You're in on a Saturday morning.
617
00:24:59,858 --> 00:25:01,208
So are you!
618
00:25:01,435 --> 00:25:05,212
Hm. I was just looking
through these cards. We...
619
00:25:05,363 --> 00:25:07,196
We pick one to send to
our customers every year.
620
00:25:07,883 --> 00:25:09,174
It's just your dad forgot
to choose one the other day.
621
00:25:10,869 --> 00:25:12,844
What do you think?
622
00:25:13,889 --> 00:25:15,722
We need to
get his signature
623
00:25:15,874 --> 00:25:17,891
Before I send anything
off to the printer but...
624
00:25:18,786 --> 00:25:19,542
Hm.
625
00:25:19,728 --> 00:25:20,727
What?
626
00:25:22,231 --> 00:25:23,789
- Well, it's pretty, but--
- but what?
627
00:25:24,716 --> 00:25:26,308
Every year
we work with local artists.
628
00:25:26,460 --> 00:25:27,734
These are the three finalists.
629
00:25:28,737 --> 00:25:31,387
I think I'm leaning
towards this one, though.
630
00:25:32,482 --> 00:25:36,326
Yeah. I mean, if you want
to reach a wider audience...
631
00:25:37,654 --> 00:25:39,654
Why don't we
just switch it up this year?
632
00:25:40,065 --> 00:25:40,730
Bear with me.
I'm thinking a...
633
00:25:40,824 --> 00:25:44,400
A video e-christmas card.
634
00:25:45,087 --> 00:25:45,919
Something that's super
easy to share on social media.
635
00:25:47,423 --> 00:25:48,922
We could get everyone
involved and it could be really.
636
00:25:50,575 --> 00:25:52,834
I don't know. We're just so cloe
to the deadline already
637
00:25:52,928 --> 00:25:54,486
To get these sent out.
638
00:25:54,579 --> 00:25:57,823
Aren't you the one saying that
this store is one big happy fam?
639
00:25:57,841 --> 00:25:58,990
Uh huh.
640
00:25:59,660 --> 00:26:01,326
What better
way to showcase that
641
00:26:01,345 --> 00:26:03,729
Than getting everyone to
participate in a card?
642
00:26:05,107 --> 00:26:06,681
I've been toying
with some ideas and...
643
00:26:06,775 --> 00:26:08,091
Oh! Hey, dad.
644
00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:09,759
- Hey. What's going on?
- Hey!
645
00:26:09,853 --> 00:26:11,853
Quick question for you.
646
00:26:12,948 --> 00:26:15,616
Ashley and I have been
talking about the christmas car.
647
00:26:15,767 --> 00:26:18,026
Yes, in fact, I actually
have the final proofs here
648
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,103
For the concept that you approv.
649
00:26:20,197 --> 00:26:21,622
We just have to pick one.
650
00:26:22,699 --> 00:26:25,016
And I was thinking maybe we coud
do something different this yea?
651
00:26:25,035 --> 00:26:27,443
Thinking of
a video e-christmas card.
652
00:26:27,463 --> 00:26:29,354
If it's well
done, it could go viral,
653
00:26:29,373 --> 00:26:30,613
Bring national attention
to the store.
654
00:26:31,041 --> 00:26:33,358
I like the sound of that.
655
00:26:33,636 --> 00:26:34,876
Keep in mind,
656
00:26:34,970 --> 00:26:36,528
Our customers love
receiving these christmas cards.
657
00:26:36,546 --> 00:26:39,547
Yeah, but ashley, if we can
reach out to a wider audience,
658
00:26:39,642 --> 00:26:40,807
You know, this might be
something worth considering.
659
00:26:42,386 --> 00:26:44,035
How soon could something
like this be done?
660
00:26:44,054 --> 00:26:46,371
Gimme a few days?
661
00:26:46,390 --> 00:26:50,150
Sounds good...
And we've got the cards as a ba.
662
00:26:50,377 --> 00:26:51,801
Yep.
663
00:26:52,154 --> 00:26:54,237
Listen, I've got to
run. I'll see you later.
664
00:26:54,657 --> 00:26:55,489
Okay.
665
00:27:00,812 --> 00:27:02,979
Oh, I didn't mean to--
666
00:27:03,073 --> 00:27:04,739
Oh, it's okay.
I'm flexible.
667
00:27:04,833 --> 00:27:06,416
Um...
668
00:27:07,336 --> 00:27:08,502
Okay, I'm trying to be flexible.
669
00:27:10,747 --> 00:27:13,507
It's not that I don't like the ,
it's just not what we normally .
670
00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:18,995
Huh. So
between the... Hmm...
671
00:27:19,664 --> 00:27:21,756
Ornaments and this,
what is the tally?
672
00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:23,666
Oh, I'm sorry, are...
673
00:27:24,094 --> 00:27:26,687
Are we keeping score now?
674
00:27:26,838 --> 00:27:28,930
I think that's what you
were doing earlier, yeah.
675
00:27:29,082 --> 00:27:32,008
Uh, hm. Well, first of all,
I think my parents were just
676
00:27:32,102 --> 00:27:34,436
Being kind because, uh...
677
00:27:34,530 --> 00:27:36,863
You were their guest,
you know, with the ornament.
678
00:27:37,015 --> 00:27:39,441
I don't know. Your mom
said my ornament was getting
679
00:27:39,593 --> 00:27:40,608
Prime real estate on your tree.
680
00:27:40,703 --> 00:27:44,779
And second,
the jury is still out on this v.
681
00:27:44,873 --> 00:27:46,873
So I wouldn't count your
“views” before you've even uplo.
682
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,376
That's cute.
683
00:27:50,695 --> 00:27:53,772
You know,
in the business, a lot of people
684
00:27:53,790 --> 00:27:55,882
Would say I'm
an expert at this sort of thing.
685
00:27:56,034 --> 00:27:59,553
Before I came here,
I was kind of a big deal in ret.
686
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:01,471
Oh, that's right.
I forgot about your power suit.
687
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:06,184
Ha!
Touché, well played.
688
00:28:07,955 --> 00:28:10,288
Well, I could really
use your help on this video.
689
00:28:10,882 --> 00:28:12,649
You know
everyone in the store, so...
690
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:19,197
Okay, fine. But as long as you
do not ask me to sing or dance,
691
00:28:20,817 --> 00:28:23,893
Because I have two left feet and
a voice better left for the sho.
692
00:28:23,987 --> 00:28:25,303
That is a deal I can live with.
693
00:28:26,490 --> 00:28:27,497
Although I really want to
see you sing and dance now.
694
00:28:28,917 --> 00:28:30,658
Yeah, that's never gonna happen!
695
00:28:30,753 --> 00:28:32,085
Okay.
696
00:28:32,237 --> 00:28:35,663
- Hey, ben!
- Yes?
697
00:28:35,758 --> 00:28:35,922
Uh...
698
00:28:37,667 --> 00:28:38,984
Cliff and andie and I
were gonna go
699
00:28:40,003 --> 00:28:43,838
Christmas tree shopping later,
if you want to tag along for th.
700
00:28:44,341 --> 00:28:46,224
Talk about the christmas video.
701
00:28:49,605 --> 00:28:51,921
That'd be great.
702
00:28:52,332 --> 00:28:54,608
- Okay.
- Okay.
703
00:28:59,673 --> 00:29:01,364
[sighs]
704
00:29:05,454 --> 00:29:06,861
Oh, by the way, I invited ben.
705
00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:09,030
You invited ben?!
706
00:29:09,866 --> 00:29:11,699
Yeah,
he doesn't know anyone in town.
707
00:29:12,853 --> 00:29:15,629
Also, he... He wants to talk
about the christmas video and...
708
00:29:15,856 --> 00:29:16,922
Selfishly,
I would like your opinion on hi.
709
00:29:18,358 --> 00:29:20,801
I'm still not entirely
sure how I feel about him.
710
00:29:21,028 --> 00:29:23,136
Well, technically,
I've already met him.
711
00:29:25,032 --> 00:29:27,382
Yeah, but I would
like your unbiased opinion.
712
00:29:27,534 --> 00:29:30,385
[giggles] of course. Oh, hey!
713
00:29:31,146 --> 00:29:32,479
Good evening, ladies.
Hey, andie.
714
00:29:33,707 --> 00:29:35,206
- Hi!
- Good to see you again.
715
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:36,374
I know, it's been forever.
How are you?
716
00:29:36,467 --> 00:29:39,319
- Yeah, I'm good. Good.
- [andie giggles]
717
00:29:40,638 --> 00:29:41,229
Oh, sorry!
718
00:29:41,323 --> 00:29:42,989
This is my buddy ben.
719
00:29:43,141 --> 00:29:44,974
[giggles] yes!
We, um, met at the store.
720
00:29:45,068 --> 00:29:47,719
Haven't been formally introduce,
but it's nice to see you.
721
00:29:47,812 --> 00:29:49,220
Nice to meet you again.
Ashley.
722
00:29:49,314 --> 00:29:52,481
All right, guys, you ready
to get your christmas tree on?
723
00:29:52,501 --> 00:29:54,225
- [cliff snickers]
- yeah.
724
00:29:54,244 --> 00:29:55,910
I just said that.
725
00:29:56,004 --> 00:29:59,172
Well, ben here went to a fancy
boarding school,
726
00:29:59,324 --> 00:30:01,066
You know,
in the woods?
727
00:30:01,084 --> 00:30:01,991
They did this whole
outward bound sort of thing.
728
00:30:02,010 --> 00:30:04,845
Mm hm.
729
00:30:04,996 --> 00:30:06,847
So he knows a thing or two
about the outdoors, don't you?
730
00:30:07,074 --> 00:30:08,923
Yeah.
731
00:30:09,017 --> 00:30:10,575
He can help you pick out
the perfect christmas tree.
732
00:30:11,336 --> 00:30:13,428
- It hardly makes me an expert..
- [andie and cliff laugh]
733
00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:14,020
...But I'm sure I can help.
734
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:18,358
- Well, shall we?
- We shall.
735
00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:20,986
What about this one?
736
00:30:22,089 --> 00:30:22,937
Um, I don't know about that one.
737
00:30:23,031 --> 00:30:25,198
That's a balsam.
738
00:30:25,350 --> 00:30:28,093
It cleans up really easily
but it looks like it's crooked.
739
00:30:29,262 --> 00:30:31,020
Besides, I think you're
more of a noble fir type.
740
00:30:31,114 --> 00:30:33,615
Really?
Why do you say that?
741
00:30:33,709 --> 00:30:35,934
It's more classic, seems
like it would suit you.
742
00:30:35,952 --> 00:30:37,210
Hmm, well...
743
00:30:38,955 --> 00:30:41,047
Maybe I'm not that predictable.
What about this blue spruce?
744
00:30:43,126 --> 00:30:45,443
Has upturned branches,
hold the ornaments nicely.
745
00:30:45,462 --> 00:30:46,277
Oh, so now you're the arborist.
746
00:30:46,371 --> 00:30:47,888
What can I say? I do my researc.
747
00:30:49,633 --> 00:30:52,634
Yeah, but uh, you would be
picking up needles on a daily b.
748
00:30:52,728 --> 00:30:55,395
Now, the frasier fir,
a little bit more costly,
749
00:30:55,546 --> 00:30:56,879
But it holds
onto its needles better.
750
00:30:57,958 --> 00:30:59,900
Mm hm, except it doesn't have
that good christmas-y smell.
751
00:31:00,127 --> 00:31:01,526
True.
752
00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:06,889
Is that how people flirt these ?
753
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:10,151
I'm so off my game 'cause, you ,
754
00:31:10,303 --> 00:31:11,986
I don't know anything about tre.
755
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,915
Oh, well, you could
practice your flirting on me.
756
00:31:15,142 --> 00:31:17,417
I've got years
of experience in the field.
757
00:31:17,568 --> 00:31:18,251
I'll let you know
if you're good or not.
758
00:31:19,162 --> 00:31:20,754
Okay, then.
759
00:31:20,905 --> 00:31:21,737
[chuckles]
760
00:31:21,831 --> 00:31:23,239
[ashley] what about
this one?
761
00:31:23,333 --> 00:31:24,925
Hmm, the silver fir.
762
00:31:26,486 --> 00:31:28,595
Soft, shiny
needles, a great christmas scen.
763
00:31:30,173 --> 00:31:31,431
You know how to pick 'em.
764
00:31:32,417 --> 00:31:35,084
Yeah, this is my tree.
765
00:31:35,178 --> 00:31:37,996
Yeah. Would you like me to
help you bring it to your car?
766
00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:39,681
Why do you think I brought clif?
767
00:31:39,942 --> 00:31:40,498
[ben chuckles]
768
00:31:40,591 --> 00:31:42,500
What about you?
769
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:44,502
Are you going
to get a christmas tree?
770
00:31:44,521 --> 00:31:46,112
No! No,
no, I have a...
771
00:31:46,339 --> 00:31:48,339
I have a fibre optic
tree that lights up
772
00:31:48,433 --> 00:31:51,176
At the push of a button on the .
773
00:31:51,194 --> 00:31:54,603
Ugh. You have a fake christmas e
and you say that you love chris?
774
00:31:54,623 --> 00:31:57,348
I'm sorry, but could your tree
775
00:31:57,442 --> 00:31:58,607
Put on a sequential twinkle
light show
776
00:31:58,627 --> 00:32:01,519
With an adorable
christmas theme? I think not.
777
00:32:01,538 --> 00:32:02,111
- No.
- Yeah, 'cause it's gross.
778
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:04,947
Okay.
779
00:32:04,967 --> 00:32:06,691
The best thing about christmas
is untangling the lights
780
00:32:06,784 --> 00:32:07,709
And stringing them
on the tree!
781
00:32:07,861 --> 00:32:09,135
- Debatable.
- Speaking of which...
782
00:32:09,362 --> 00:32:11,879
Why don't you guys come over
tomorrow
783
00:32:12,032 --> 00:32:14,641
For a little last-minute
tree-trimming party?
784
00:32:14,792 --> 00:32:16,217
Yeah!
Well, that sounds like fun.
785
00:32:16,369 --> 00:32:18,870
- [cliff] yeah.
- [andie] yeah.
786
00:32:18,888 --> 00:32:20,296
Uh, since when has she
started doing things last minut?
787
00:32:20,315 --> 00:32:22,207
[chuckles] I know.
788
00:32:22,225 --> 00:32:23,391
All right, cliff.
789
00:32:23,543 --> 00:32:24,542
Do you want to carry it to the ?
790
00:32:24,561 --> 00:32:26,711
- You're up.
- We'll meet you there.
791
00:32:26,804 --> 00:32:28,563
[ashley] come on, andie. Let's t
more tea.
792
00:32:28,715 --> 00:32:29,138
- [andie] okay.
- Let's go.
793
00:32:29,157 --> 00:32:31,992
♪♪
794
00:32:33,161 --> 00:32:34,995
[andie laughs]
795
00:32:39,409 --> 00:32:39,833
Okay,
so is this my punishment
796
00:32:40,836 --> 00:32:42,502
For having an artificial tree?
797
00:32:43,063 --> 00:32:43,652
Hmm.
798
00:32:43,672 --> 00:32:45,246
Ooh,
look at that.
799
00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:49,901
Funny how she just happened
to have popcorn laying around.
800
00:32:49,919 --> 00:32:52,512
[laughs] to be honest,
I'm actually impressed with her.
801
00:32:52,663 --> 00:32:54,422
She usually never
wants anybody helping.
802
00:32:54,516 --> 00:32:56,516
Nobody ever does it
exactly the way she wants.
803
00:32:56,667 --> 00:32:58,518
- Yeah, that's right.
- [laughs]
804
00:33:01,264 --> 00:33:03,598
Oh, wow, that one is...
805
00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:05,174
- Beautiful.
- Oh! Thank you.
806
00:33:06,253 --> 00:33:08,028
Yeah, I made this one a few
years ago, it's one of my favor.
807
00:33:09,531 --> 00:33:11,197
Of course you did.
So how do you want the garland?
808
00:33:12,942 --> 00:33:14,108
Uh, well, I think if you start
at the--
809
00:33:14,202 --> 00:33:16,352
[both] top, yeah.
810
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,264
And then just keep it as evenly
spaced as possible to the botto.
811
00:33:19,282 --> 00:33:21,766
Good.
Like the attention to detail.
812
00:33:21,859 --> 00:33:24,435
Yeah.
How else would you do it?
813
00:33:24,529 --> 00:33:26,362
Do you mind giving me a hand?
814
00:33:26,456 --> 00:33:28,697
Yes. I'll start...
815
00:33:28,717 --> 00:33:30,717
- This side.
- Yeah, okay.
816
00:33:30,868 --> 00:33:32,960
And then...
Oh, oh, oh, hold on.
817
00:33:33,055 --> 00:33:34,462
Okay, sorry. I just...
818
00:33:34,614 --> 00:33:36,705
- It's okay.
- Over, under.
819
00:33:37,041 --> 00:33:37,557
It's okay.
820
00:33:37,708 --> 00:33:40,042
Thanks.
[laughs]
821
00:33:40,303 --> 00:33:43,730
Alright...
822
00:33:46,401 --> 00:33:50,812
Would you be willing
to just hang it near the top?
823
00:33:50,964 --> 00:33:52,572
I just...
I can't quite reach.
824
00:33:52,723 --> 00:33:53,389
I could
probably get that for you.
825
00:33:53,483 --> 00:33:56,743
Nope.
No, no, I got it.
826
00:33:58,729 --> 00:34:01,823
Know what?
Who wants hot chocolate?
827
00:34:01,975 --> 00:34:03,658
Yes.
828
00:34:03,810 --> 00:34:06,828
Yeah. Cliff?
Want to help me in the kitchen?
829
00:34:07,330 --> 00:34:09,330
Yeah...
Yeah, sure.
830
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:11,716
No, I think it needs to be
a little bit to the right maybe.
831
00:34:13,261 --> 00:34:16,170
If you could just spin it...
No, I don't think that's the fr.
832
00:34:16,264 --> 00:34:18,932
Yeah, a little lower, stop!
Yep, it's perfect.
833
00:34:19,326 --> 00:34:20,767
Yeah.
834
00:34:22,587 --> 00:34:24,729
So, what do you think?
835
00:34:26,424 --> 00:34:28,274
- Of...?
- Ashley and ben!
836
00:34:29,686 --> 00:34:31,336
I'm kind of getting a vibe.
837
00:34:31,354 --> 00:34:33,947
Oh yeah, I didn't get that.
838
00:34:34,098 --> 00:34:37,283
- Ha! Men are so clueless.
- What?
839
00:34:37,435 --> 00:34:40,862
Well, I haven't seen two people
more excited about christmas st.
840
00:34:40,956 --> 00:34:44,791
Yeah, what is it they say,
a lid for every pot?
841
00:34:46,019 --> 00:34:48,035
And what about you, are
you a christmas person?
842
00:34:48,188 --> 00:34:48,294
Uh, yeah.
843
00:34:50,448 --> 00:34:55,209
I like christmas just fine, but
Halloween is actually more my j.
844
00:34:55,362 --> 00:34:57,119
Really?
845
00:34:57,139 --> 00:34:59,973
Yeah, yeah,
I love dressing up. Here, let m.
846
00:35:01,459 --> 00:35:04,644
Okay... [laughs]
847
00:35:05,313 --> 00:35:06,721
Oh, ignore...
848
00:35:06,873 --> 00:35:09,315
Oh hold on, hold on. What is th?
849
00:35:09,467 --> 00:35:12,727
Oh, last year.
850
00:35:12,879 --> 00:35:15,880
That's my ex.
We broke up right after that.
851
00:35:15,973 --> 00:35:17,139
He just didn't get it,
you know?
852
00:35:17,233 --> 00:35:19,659
I wanted to do a couples costume
and he refused.
853
00:35:21,237 --> 00:35:24,164
I mean, why be in a relationship
if not for the couples costumes?
854
00:35:25,742 --> 00:35:28,668
- It's like one of the major pe.
- Right?
855
00:35:29,487 --> 00:35:31,171
[andie chuckles]
856
00:35:31,398 --> 00:35:33,564
I mean, that wasn't
the only reason we broke up,
857
00:35:33,658 --> 00:35:36,158
But it certainly was not a good
sign.
858
00:35:36,178 --> 00:35:38,403
I had no idea
you loved Halloween so much.
859
00:35:38,421 --> 00:35:38,845
Yeah! It's my favorite holiday,
too.
860
00:35:40,256 --> 00:35:41,181
- Really?
- Check this out.
861
00:35:41,408 --> 00:35:41,997
Okay.
862
00:35:42,592 --> 00:35:45,518
[andie laughs] oh, wow!
863
00:35:46,337 --> 00:35:48,596
That is amazing!
864
00:35:48,748 --> 00:35:50,690
[ashley] hey!
Where's that hot chocolate?
865
00:35:50,917 --> 00:35:53,860
Oh, ah sorry.
Just another minute or so.
866
00:35:54,512 --> 00:35:56,863
Maybe turn that down.
867
00:35:58,758 --> 00:36:01,701
To the best tree-trimming team.
Cheers.
868
00:36:01,928 --> 00:36:04,370
- [andie] oh, cheers!
- [cliff] cheers
869
00:36:08,451 --> 00:36:10,284
Mmm, that's good hot chocolate.
870
00:36:10,437 --> 00:36:12,770
Oh, this is nothing.
871
00:36:12,789 --> 00:36:14,530
No offense, cliff and
andie.
872
00:36:14,624 --> 00:36:18,534
[laughs] hey, we both stirred
this mix with loving care.
873
00:36:18,628 --> 00:36:20,720
No, it's not that. It's just if
you want a truly amazing
874
00:36:21,872 --> 00:36:23,281
Cup of hot chocolate,
875
00:36:23,892 --> 00:36:25,299
You have to get the mexican
hot chocolate from town.
876
00:36:25,452 --> 00:36:26,226
It's life-changing.
877
00:36:28,288 --> 00:36:30,638
Ben, ashley knows the
best place for everything.
878
00:36:30,790 --> 00:36:32,457
She's like the
master at that kind of stuff.
879
00:36:32,475 --> 00:36:34,809
It's true.
880
00:36:34,903 --> 00:36:36,402
Really? I could

you do need that personal touch.

cops showing up again this year.

some options

And I think we should go
with something nice and traditi.

Aw, come on, ash. I feel like
we do that every year.
1164
00:50:28,552 --> 00:50:30,552
No, come on. It would be really
elegant.
1165
00:50:30,646 --> 00:50:32,404
I mean, we could
have all white lights,
1166
00:50:32,631 --> 00:50:34,314
We could have white candles
in the windows.
1167
00:50:34,466 --> 00:50:36,800
It'd be very... Dickensian.
1168
00:50:37,636 --> 00:50:39,803
Yeah, well, uh...
I guess we could do that.
1169
00:50:39,896 --> 00:50:41,988
Yeah, you know,
that sounds really boring, ashl.
1170
00:50:42,141 --> 00:50:44,249
Oh, come on, cliff.

1173
00:50:47,755 --> 00:50:50,238
Let's ask him.
1174
00:50:50,257 --> 00:50:52,666
Yeah, that... That sounds nice.
1175
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:55,577
Although if you really want to p
it up and show how much
1176
00:50:55,596 --> 00:50:58,322
- ...You care about christmas--
- there will be no amping.
1177
00:50:58,340 --> 00:50:59,747
Yeah, no. Yeah,
he can amp. Amp, amp!
1178
00:50:59,767 --> 00:51:01,758
Yeah?
1179
00:51:03,104 --> 00:51:04,511
Well, what you could do is get
these really cool devices
1180
00:51:04,663 --> 00:51:08,348
That allow you to project holidy
images onto the building,
1181
00:51:08,609 --> 00:51:09,775
Onto your house.
1182
00:51:10,002 --> 00:51:11,777
And then what we could
do is sync the lights
1183
00:51:12,004 --> 00:51:14,671
To a music playlist and then tht
would allow people
1184
00:51:14,764 --> 00:51:16,857
To just tune in and
listen to it on the radio.
1185
00:51:17,009 --> 00:51:19,693
That sounds amazing!
1186
00:51:19,787 --> 00:51:21,695
I like the idea of the projecti.
1187
00:51:21,847 --> 00:51:23,271
Yeah, you know what I like?
1188
00:51:23,290 --> 00:51:25,349
The idea of
cliffy's christmas music playli.
1189
00:51:25,442 --> 00:51:27,367
Let's just take a second.
I really don't--
1190
00:51:27,519 --> 00:51:29,294
What you can do, as well --
1191
00:51:29,521 --> 00:51:31,188
And bear with me --
you could get an led screen
1192
00:51:31,206 --> 00:51:34,616
That displays holiday greetings
when people walk by or drive by.
1193
00:51:34,635 --> 00:51:36,451
- [dad] great, good.

1194
00:51:36,470 --> 00:51:38,211

1195
00:51:38,364 --> 00:51:40,046
I have some
mulled cider to warm you up.

00:51:40,199 --> 00:51:41,807

we were just talking about

00:51:42,034 --> 00:51:44,368
What to do for the
christmas lights display this y.
1198
00:51:44,461 --> 00:51:46,370
I was thinking
something really elegant,
1199
00:51:46,388 --> 00:51:47,271
Classic,
traditional, all white lights.
1200
00:51:48,223 --> 00:51:48,889
That sounds nice.
1201
00:51:49,041 --> 00:51:51,375
Yeah, or...
1202
00:51:51,468 --> 00:51:54,378
Or a synchronized
light show set to music!
1203
00:51:54,471 --> 00:51:55,988
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
And video projections!
1204
00:51:56,139 --> 00:51:58,715
You could do that?
1205
00:51:58,808 --> 00:51:59,974
Yeah, it's super easy.
You just download the app
1206
00:51:59,994 --> 00:52:01,493
And it coordinates everything.
1207
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:03,495
- Easy as pie.
- I vote for that.
1208
00:52:06,333 --> 00:52:07,073
[sighs]

00:52:07,226 --> 00:52:10,794
- Uh huh.
- [ashley]great.
1210
00:52:11,914 --> 00:52:14,673
Then I guess I will just
leave you to it.
1211
00:52:14,824 --> 00:52:16,633
Okay, great.
1212
00:52:19,847 --> 00:52:21,138
Okay.
1213
00:52:25,502 --> 00:52:28,187

But I'm sure he'll be
very happy that you liked it.
1222
00:52:47,115 --> 00:52:50,709
I know a lot of people
were working very hard on it.
1223
00:52:52,046 --> 00:52:56,381
Ashley, can I ask you a questio?
Did I do something wrong?
1224
00:52:57,125 --> 00:52:59,701
What do you mean?
1225
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:03,113
You know... I'm kind of hurt he
didn't ask me to be in it.
1226
00:53:03,131 --> 00:53:07,142
You know,
he said he didn't want me hover.
1227
00:53:08,729 --> 00:53:10,136
Congratulations.
1228
00:53:10,289 --> 00:53:13,214
You've just described every
parent/child relationship.
1229
00:53:13,234 --> 00:53:15,901
You're like a second dad to me.
1230
00:53:16,128 --> 00:53:17,569
And sometimes I don't
want you hovering over me.
1231
00:53:17,721 --> 00:53:21,481
I want you to... To trust me to
do the work that you hired me t.
1232
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:24,076
Yeah, but we've built
up that trust over years.
1233
00:53:24,303 --> 00:53:28,062
I missed out on just
being around him, you know,
1234
00:53:28,156 --> 00:53:31,141
And I don't know
how to make up for that.
1235
00:53:31,159 --> 00:53:34,068
Just do the best you can.
1236
00:53:34,088 --> 00:53:36,672
Right now,
in this moment.
1237
00:53:37,983 --> 00:53:38,924
You two aren't
as different as you think.
1238
00:53:40,928 --> 00:53:42,386
In fact, sometimes it's
eerie how similar you are.
1239
00:53:44,098 --> 00:53:46,006
Just be there for him.
1240
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:48,058
[exhales]
1241
00:53:53,348 --> 00:53:55,423
Can you believe that he
derailed my plan for the lights?
1242
00:53:55,442 --> 00:53:57,759
I mean, what
is it with men and technology?
1243
00:53:57,778 --> 00:54:00,020
You slap a circuit board
on something or give it an app
1244
00:54:00,114 --> 00:54:01,947
And suddenly that's all they wa.
1245
00:54:02,098 --> 00:54:04,508
And especially after I
helped him with the video?
1246
00:54:04,526 --> 00:54:07,077
He had to go and
one-up me with my own family.
1247
00:54:09,773 --> 00:54:11,105
I don't think I've
ever seen you so flustered.
1248
00:54:11,125 --> 00:54:13,583
What's going on?
1249
00:54:15,945 --> 00:54:17,111
Oh my god.
1250
00:54:17,131 --> 00:54:20,215
You like him.
1251
00:54:21,284 --> 00:54:22,968
Yeah, like...
Like that much.
1252
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:25,453
You like him!
1253
00:54:25,472 --> 00:54:27,531
He's just... He's so
great in so many ways.
1254
00:54:27,549 --> 00:54:29,533
You know,
when we're in sync it's perfect.
1255
00:54:29,551 --> 00:54:32,477
And then here
are these moments like the lighs
1256
00:54:32,704 --> 00:54:34,479
That I just
really question how I feel.
1257
00:54:36,224 --> 00:54:38,058
How can you like something
1258
00:54:38,152 --> 00:54:40,152
And then really want to change t
all at the exact same time?
1259
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,971
You've literally described
every boyfriend I've ever had.
1260
00:54:44,066 --> 00:54:46,283
[chuckling] true.
1261
00:54:49,054 --> 00:54:50,904
Um, so...
1262
00:54:51,573 --> 00:54:55,250
Speaking of awkward relationshi,
I wanted to ask you something.
1263
00:54:56,228 --> 00:54:58,337
What?
1264
00:55:00,582 --> 00:55:02,424
What's the deal with cliff?
1265
00:55:03,902 --> 00:55:04,593
Huh?
1266
00:55:05,346 --> 00:55:06,327
What do you mean?
1267
00:55:06,347 --> 00:55:10,015
Well, when we were all together.
1268
00:55:10,166 --> 00:55:13,685
The tree trimming,
there was kind of a moment.
1269
00:55:14,262 --> 00:55:17,356
With my brother?
1270
00:55:19,267 --> 00:55:22,110
I mean, I guess I just never tht
about you two like that, but...
1271
00:55:22,754 --> 00:55:22,936
Really?
1272
00:55:23,030 --> 00:55:25,697
Yeah.
1273
00:55:25,849 --> 00:55:27,682
But I wouldn't want to do
anything if it'd be weird for y.
1274
00:55:27,701 --> 00:55:28,942
- Because I really wouldn't--
- no!
1275
00:55:29,703 --> 00:55:31,853
...To affect our relationship
because I love you and--
1276
00:55:31,872 --> 00:55:33,330
No. No, no, no.
You should go for it!
1277
00:55:34,766 --> 00:55:35,448
Okay.
1278
00:55:35,542 --> 00:55:36,266
One of
us should be happy.
1279
00:55:36,284 --> 00:55:38,043
Thank you.
1280
00:55:39,195 --> 00:55:39,269
It might just be
a tad awkward for me
1281
00:55:41,364 --> 00:55:44,365
To be your third wheel for the
new year's now, though.
1282
00:55:44,385 --> 00:55:46,051
- It could be fun, though.
- Yeah?
1283
00:55:47,129 --> 00:55:48,128
I mean, we'll probably
be getting married soon so...
1284
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,447
[laughs]
1285
00:55:50,465 --> 00:55:53,617
[ben] and you see,
it's already at 30,000 views.
1286
00:55:53,635 --> 00:55:55,060
Ben, this is really great.
1287
00:55:55,971 --> 00:55:58,138
You know, a bunch of people came
up to me this morning in town
1288
00:55:58,232 --> 00:55:59,714
And told me how much they loved.
1289
00:55:59,733 --> 00:56:03,050
Well, we really wanted to
capture the spirit of the store
1290
00:56:03,070 --> 00:56:04,477
And show how
great of a family we are.
1291
00:56:04,571 --> 00:56:06,963
Well, you certainly did that.
1292
00:56:07,741 --> 00:56:11,410
Now about this
chief operating officer role.
1293
00:56:11,637 --> 00:56:14,471
Are you sure
that's what you really want?
1294
00:56:15,657 --> 00:56:19,709
Absolutely. I've never
been so sure of anything before.
1295
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,405
But, um...
What about ashley?
1296
00:56:24,758 --> 00:56:25,982
How do you think she'll take it?
1297
00:56:26,593 --> 00:56:28,334
Well, it may not be
what she pictured for herself,
1298
00:56:28,487 --> 00:56:33,156
But I'm sure she'll see that I's
in the best interest of the com.
1299
00:56:34,083 --> 00:56:35,267
But let's wait for the
right moment to tell her, okay?
1300
00:56:36,328 --> 00:56:37,994
Absolutely.
1301
00:56:38,013 --> 00:56:41,273
In the interim,
congratulations, mr. Coo.
1302
00:56:41,424 --> 00:56:43,692
Thank you so much.
1303
00:56:47,263 --> 00:56:49,364
Let's run it again.
1304
00:56:50,617 --> 00:56:52,701
Thank you so much. Have a good .
1305
00:56:54,455 --> 00:56:54,527
[ashley exhales sharply]
1306
00:56:55,789 --> 00:56:57,622
Honey, what's wrong? You look l-
1307
00:56:57,849 --> 00:56:59,699
I can't believe
what I just heard, andie.
1308
00:56:59,793 --> 00:57:01,351
What?
1309
00:57:01,444 --> 00:57:04,020
Mr. Collins and ben were talking
about his getting the coo job.
1310
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:06,447
After everything you did?
That's crazy!
1311
00:57:06,467 --> 00:57:07,615
The worst part is
that ben was wondering
1312
00:57:07,634 --> 00:57:10,193
How I would take it and they
both assumed
1313
00:57:10,212 --> 00:57:11,285
That I would be
fine with it and understand.
1314
00:57:11,305 --> 00:57:13,263
- No!
- I mean, I get it. I get it.
1315
00:57:14,808 --> 00:57:16,308
Ben is his son and he is
smart and he is so, so capable.
1316
00:57:17,811 --> 00:57:19,219
It's just that I've put in
so much hard work for this
1317
00:57:19,371 --> 00:57:21,771
Over the last few years.
1318
00:57:24,726 --> 00:57:26,776
Maybe I should just move on.
1319
00:57:28,213 --> 00:57:30,714
I'm just surprised that
ben would do this to you.
1320
00:57:30,732 --> 00:57:32,549
Yeah, I mean I knew
that he was going to be
1321
00:57:32,642 --> 00:57:36,143
An integral part of the company
moving forward. I did, I knew t.
1322
00:57:36,163 --> 00:57:37,721
But I never in a million years
1323
00:57:37,739 --> 00:57:39,055
Thought that after showing
him the ropes here
1324
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,166
And making town feel like home
for him, that he would just
1325
00:57:42,577 --> 00:57:45,486
Take the one job
that I've worked so hard for.
1326
00:57:45,506 --> 00:57:47,756
And now
you have feelings for him.
1327
00:57:50,402 --> 00:57:52,235
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1328
00:57:52,328 --> 00:57:55,588
[sniffles]
1329
00:57:55,682 --> 00:57:57,590
Which makes the fact that
he stepped over me
1330
00:57:57,684 --> 00:57:59,851
To get what he wants even harde.
1331
00:58:00,595 --> 00:58:03,688
I could never be with someone wd
do something like that to someo.
1332
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:06,274
What are you going to do?
1333
00:58:09,921 --> 00:58:11,446
I am going to take the other jo.
[sniffles]
1334
00:58:13,033 --> 00:58:15,534
I'm going to take the other
job and I'm going to give ben
1335
00:58:16,444 --> 00:58:19,287
Some real competition while
I'm working for our main rival.
1336
00:58:19,931 --> 00:58:20,163
Yeah.
1337
00:58:21,357 --> 00:58:23,357
Let me buy you a coffee.
1338
00:58:23,451 --> 00:58:25,877
We'll figure this out.
Come on.
1339
00:58:30,609 --> 00:58:33,385
Yeah, I'm looking
forward to it, as well.
1340
00:58:37,132 --> 00:58:38,640
It's a great opportunity.
1341
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,226
[laughs] I'm excited.
1342
00:58:41,377 --> 00:58:43,228
All right.
Bye.
1343
00:58:49,385 --> 00:58:51,961
Can I come in?
1344
00:58:52,239 --> 00:58:53,387
Yeah. Of course.
1345
00:58:54,316 --> 00:58:56,633
As long as the lack of projectis
in my office doesn't bother you.
1346
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,329
Hm. Okay, yeah, I deserve
that. Which is kind of why I'm .
1347
00:59:03,141 --> 00:59:05,658
I felt bad I derailed your
plan with the lights the other .
1348
00:59:05,811 --> 00:59:07,919
You and I, we have this thing.
1349
00:59:08,146 --> 00:59:11,481
Sometimes I go too far even
though I want to be helpful.
1350
00:59:12,259 --> 00:59:14,092
Yeah. I have to say I was a bit
surprised,
1351
00:59:14,319 --> 00:59:16,836
Especially
after I helped you with the vid.
1352
00:59:16,988 --> 00:59:19,823
I'm sorry.
I wasn't thinking.
1353
00:59:19,841 --> 00:59:23,417
Well, it seems
you always get your way, so...
1354
00:59:23,437 --> 00:59:25,937
I swear it's not intentional.
1355
00:59:26,422 --> 00:59:27,564
Is that all?
1356
00:59:30,277 --> 00:59:32,426
Yeah.
1357
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,428
Okay, I just... I have a lot of
loose ends that I need to tie up
1358
00:59:34,522 --> 00:59:36,031
Before the end of the day so...
1359
00:59:39,010 --> 00:59:39,784
Okay.

[exhales sharply]
1364
00:59:55,377 --> 00:59:58,637
Who's going to bring me
my coffee to work every day?
1365
00:59:59,197 --> 01:00:00,305
I know.
1366
01:00:01,716 --> 01:00:05,218
I'm really going to
miss seeing you every day.
1367
01:00:05,370 --> 01:00:06,811
But we can video chat.
1368
01:00:07,648 --> 01:00:10,890
And I'm going to come
home to see my family and you.
1369
01:00:11,634 --> 01:00:12,442
Maybe you can come visit me.
It's not that far.
1370
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,302
Yeah.
1371
01:00:15,397 --> 01:00:17,547
Well, I hope the new company kns
what a superstar they're gettin.
1372
01:00:17,565 --> 01:00:19,449
Hm. They do.
1373
01:00:22,478 --> 01:00:24,996
They kept telling me how
excited they are to have me.
1374
01:00:25,148 --> 01:00:27,165
Especially after I
initially turned them down.
1375
01:00:27,392 --> 01:00:30,168
I have to admit,
it is nice to feel wanted.
1376
01:00:31,505 --> 01:00:32,587
So when are
you going to tell mr. Collins?
1377
01:00:33,565 --> 01:00:36,508
Oh, god.
1378
01:00:37,994 --> 01:00:42,931
I hadn't even thought about tha.
I don't know if I can face him.
1379
01:00:45,260 --> 01:00:48,094
As exciting
as this opportunity is, it's...
1380
01:00:48,246 --> 01:00:48,520
It's really bittersweet.
1381
01:00:49,856 --> 01:00:53,099
I don't know if I can go
back into the emporium again.
1382
01:00:53,193 --> 01:00:55,418
It's going to be too hard
to say goodbye to everybody.
1383
01:00:55,862 --> 01:00:57,862
But you have to tell them, you ?
1384
01:01:00,425 --> 01:01:01,116
Yeah.
1385
01:01:03,036 --> 01:01:06,353
If I write a letter of resignat,
will you give it to them?
1386
01:01:06,856 --> 01:01:09,432
You know
I would do anything for you.

No. Actually, after a bit of a
rough start, things there are...

They're better.

Well, maybe
you stop trying to impress her
1418

And just show her you care.

They can upload a photo

And they can even
put in an address if they want ,

know, kids tend to worry about .

Isn't that amazing, dad?
Ashley thought of this.

Oh, yeah,
I guess technology isn't all ba.
1613
01:13:45,113 --> 01:13:47,965
And what's great,
too, is if you look here
1614

All the wish lists are automatiy
uploaded to our servers.
1615
01:13:51,637 --> 01:13:54,379
So we can see
what kids want in real time
1616
01:13:54,532 --> 01:13:56,456
And then we can
stay on top of the trends
1617
01:13:56,476 --> 01:13:58,383
And make sure
we have everything in stock.
1618

That's an incredible application
and tool for us, isn't it?

Yep!

01:14:03,632 --> 01:14:05,799
Oh, look, we're already
getting so many wish lists uplo.
1621
01:14:06,486 --> 01:14:10,821
Okay, we have dylan, age 6.
He wants an action figure.
1622
01:14:11,473 --> 01:14:14,233
- Stacy, age 10, wants a video .
- Okay.
1623
01:14:14,327 --> 01:14:17,553
And kids can upload videos,
too, which is so cute.
1624
01:14:17,646 --> 01:14:21,123
Oh, here's one. Luke,
age 8. He just...
1625
01:14:24,061 --> 01:14:26,486
Well, he just wants
the basic necessities.
1626
01:14:26,506 --> 01:14:29,489
He wants socks without holes,
1627
01:14:30,176 --> 01:14:33,677
A winter jacket and new
clothes for his little sister.
1628
01:14:34,514 --> 01:14:36,305
He even asked santa if
he would bring a doll for her.
1629
01:14:38,184 --> 01:14:41,593
Wow, that's so sweet
and that's so selfless of him.
1630
01:14:42,263 --> 01:14:44,772
Yeah, I wish there
was something we could do.
1631
01:14:46,751 --> 01:14:49,434
Maybe there is.
I have an idea.
1632
01:14:49,529 --> 01:14:52,271
What if we use this
technology to benefit others?
1633
01:14:52,423 --> 01:14:54,940
Like, think about it.
1634
01:14:55,034 --> 01:14:56,182
People could come into
the store and they could...
1635
01:14:57,278 --> 01:15:01,263
They could adopt a family or a
bunch of families if they wante.
1636
01:15:01,356 --> 01:15:04,616
I mean, if people
could buy an item of clothing
1637
01:15:05,545 --> 01:15:09,713
Or a toy, then we could make
these families' holidays magica.
1638
01:15:10,624 --> 01:15:13,551
Yeah, and since the video went
viral, I could put a link at thd
1639
01:15:13,778 --> 01:15:15,277
Of the video
so people could just easily
1640
01:15:15,296 --> 01:15:16,612
Donate if they wanted to.
1641
01:15:16,705 --> 01:15:18,130
- Yeah.
- Better yet...
1642
01:15:18,224 --> 01:15:20,299
We could get the store behind ts
1643
01:15:20,393 --> 01:15:22,393
And then when people
are checking out we could ask tm
1644
01:15:23,879 --> 01:15:26,471
If they're interested in
helping a family in need.
1645
01:15:26,566 --> 01:15:31,860
And then we can get the
gift for the child on their lis.
1646
01:15:33,314 --> 01:15:34,479
- You would do that?
- Yeah!
1647
01:15:34,632 --> 01:15:36,481
All right, well,
if we're gonna make this happen,
1648
01:15:36,576 --> 01:15:38,200
We'd better get to work.
1649
01:15:40,137 --> 01:15:41,328
- Ashley, I need--
- not right now, ben.
1650
01:15:42,990 --> 01:15:44,731
Okay? Let's just
focus on helping the families.
1651
01:15:44,750 --> 01:15:46,542
That's what's important.
1652
01:15:46,919 --> 01:15:47,835
Yeah.
1653
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,651
I hate that she still
thinks I'm trying to take her j.
1654
01:15:55,669 --> 01:15:59,671
Look, you can explain everything
tomorrow night at the mackenzie.
1655
01:15:59,765 --> 01:16:04,602
And maybe you should plan
something special for her, hm?
1656
01:16:05,162 --> 01:16:05,936
Hm.
1657
01:16:18,008 --> 01:16:19,116
More?
1658

The fourth delivery here today?
1659
01:16:23,347 --> 01:16:25,438

more room for all the gifts.

Honey, I am so proud of you,
1661
01:16:27,793 --> 01:16:29,368
But why did you have
them all delivered here?
1662
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,129
Oh, well,
I was kind of hoping
1663
01:16:32,356 --> 01:16:34,022
That I could hand
deliver them tonight
1664
01:16:34,041 --> 01:16:35,374
To the families that
registered on our website.
1665
01:16:35,526 --> 01:16:38,135

1666
01:16:38,286 --> 01:16:39,544

Hm, we did it.
1702
01:18:19,296 --> 01:18:22,314
You know I intend
to make a “adopt a family”
1703
01:18:22,466 --> 01:18:23,982
An annual event at the store.
1704
01:18:24,969 --> 01:18:28,912
I think it would be a nice new
memory for my son and I to shar.
1705
01:18:29,064 --> 01:18:30,748
But we have to make
sure it's okay with the new

Chief operating officer.
1707
01:18:34,828 --> 01:18:36,661
And as I've said already,
dad, I love the idea.
1708
01:18:36,756 --> 01:18:41,592
Yes, but um, we have to
make sure it's okay with the new

You are the new
co-chief operating officer.

was the coo.
1714

No, you both are.
1715

Now, that's the way it's
supposed to work. It was ben's .
1716
01:19:02,615 --> 01:19:04,615
He insisted that you both
be chief operating officers.
1717

Since the two of you came toget,
look what you've done to the st.
