Oh, you have so many cute ornaments.
[gasps] Aw!
Georgia's footprint from her first Christmas.
Yeah. Oh, and Carter's.
Mom, you don't get it.
If Lily agrees to go to the winter prom with me,
I think she'll be my girlfriend.
Not that I want to put a label on it.
I so want to put a label on it.
I'm just saying, she'd be lucky however you ask.
Don't overthink it.
Mom, this is a promposal. People go all out these days.
Why are you still talking about this? We have a plan.
Wait. You asked your grandfather for help instead of me?
This is important. It's his first dance.
Well, technically, you were at my prom.
-No offense, but Pops got Eve. -Kid's got a point, right?
It's true. How did you get me?
I got mad game, girl.
It's true. His game is being mad.
Look, you like the movie Grease?
I got this '46 convertible just like Travolta drove.
It could be great, guys.
I don't know, Pops, I wanted to do something more Christmas themed.
And your idea doesn't feel very me.
Of course it doesn't. Because my idea is awesome.
Yeah, I don't see Carter dancing.
But you know what, he could learn.
If only we knew a dance instructor
that had a dance studio near my shop.
Wait a minute. Who am I dating?
-She sounds amazing. -[Matt] Mm-hm.
Oh, what? It's me.
I would love to teach Carter some dance moves.
I love you, Carter, but I'm not sure
if you're ready for dancing.
You're still struggling with the bike.
Hey, once you get this engine going,
it can't stop!
Okay, that could work if Lily was blind.

Gabe likes girls with a little more... [chuckles]
You know?
Really?
You know what? More wine for me.
So, did you know your mom wanted you to be with Riley?
Is that why you invited Riley?
I invited Riley to be, like, kind of a buffer and pump you up.
Oh, I didn't know that I needed
to be pumped up because I'm so unlikable.
Oh, boy.
So glad I decided to split the ride to save eight bucks.
If one of us had to get out of this car right now,

Riley and I are just friends, right?
Yeah. Of course! Just friends. Barely that.
I don't even follow him on Instagram.

Of course, I like her. She's my friend.
Okay, well, maybe she shouldn't be.
No. That's ridiculous.
