(MAN INHALING AND EXHALING)
WOMAN: (IN APP) I am your rock.
I am your rock.
I am your island. I am your island.
I am the echo of your courage. WOMAN: Luke!
I am the echo of your courage. (STRUGGLING GRUNTS)
Luke! Come echo my courage in here.
I can't get my socks on. Coming, hon.
Hey! Oh!
(CHUCKLES)I was just uh...
Doing the same thing you've been doing every morning
for the past eight and a half months.
Babe...
Prepared is my middle name.
Everett is your middle name.
Well, Luke Prepared Everett Brenner
is gonna be the best father of three you ever did see.
With toothpaste on his T.
We have less than a month before these twins arrive.
All I want is a nice, relaxing day. Yes.
Go to the parent group. Mm.
Maybe a coffee. Mm-hm.
Do a little shopping. You got it.
And I have the entire day organised. Wow!
Yeah. Life is about to get very busy around here.
I just want to make sure that everything is under control.
NARRATOR: This Christmas, Mighty Mech.
With over 150 unique robotic functions, including night vision.
Dad, you HAVE to see this.
It's the one I was talking about.
It's too loud, bud.
You're not even looking.
It's super cool. Cool, buddy.
But we gotta go.
No throwing. Can we go sledding?
No, we can't go sledding. We're late.
Get your socks on. You promised.
I know, and we will.
Mom and Dad have baby stuff planned this morning.
But Gigi is all alone with Roy out of town,
and has an entire day of fun stuff planned for you, OK?
Rock and roll.
Pointy. Less pointy.
Pointy... less pointy.
Pointy. Less pointy.
(SIGHS) I don't know.
So... neither.
For now. OK.
Let's put a pin in silverware for now.
OK.And while we also debate place settings,
flowers, vendors, venue, DJ, and questions like:
Why am I even here in the first place?
Let's aim for something simple,
like cake. Oh, great.
Do you want to go traditional like chocolate?Yummy.
Or vanilla?
Or maybe something a little more fun, like pistachio or funfetti?
Oh. I'm fun. I like fun. Let's do fun!
Great! That was easy.
Although, now I think about it, I'm just wondering if maybe...
(PHONE RINGING)
Oh, it's just Dad. I'll call him back.
You were-you were wondering. Uh, yeah. No, I was just...
(PHONE RINGING) I was wondering if...
Stephan. Cake. Focus. Yes, cake.
Do you need to get that? No. He just... he does this.
He calls until I pick up. It's his way of saying I love you.
Oh, he must really love you.
Maybe we take a break. Yes.
(PHONE RINGING) No, no breaks. Cake, we need cake.
Any cake. Alright, you know what?
I think maybe this just isn't the best environment
to be making huge decisions like cake.
You know, we got phones,
and we haven't even chosen napkins yet.
This is too orange. This one's too square.
And that? Is that even a napkin? Right. Maybe we should take a break.
Yeah.
Come on, it's everything you ever wanted.
Is he a bit of a strange dude? Yeah.
Does he have way too much ankle showing?
Certainly. This is the big time.
Game face. Let's do this.
You've been there for a while, huh? A little bit, yeah.
This place is insane, Noah.
Silicon Valley, baby. This is how we do.
So this is the part of the meeting where I ask,
do you like... money?
We get along. Good. Cos I've got a lot.
What I want, a foothold in gaming.
What I need, vision, leadership.
What I'm proposing...
Fingers. Partnership.
That makes more sense. You. Me. Us.
You would have complete creative autonomy
with more money than you can spend.
Well, as awful as that sounds, and it does sound awful...
I think I'll be able to figure it out. What's the catch?
There's only one.
No suits.
You drive a hard bargain, Noah.
Oh. You've left.
Imagine this.
Limitless horizon.
Think limitless possibility.
This is yours. A blank canvas.
Whatever you want. Starting with a sick eco smoothie,
oxygen bar to get the creative juices flowing.
I'm thinking 90-inch flat screen right here.
Here?
Here, here. Oh, I didn't realise the idea was for me to... move.
Synergy, amigo. Can't fly the plane from the passenger lounge, right?
We'll get you set up, though, right?
Army of programmers, massage chairs, cold plunge. Whatever you need.
You got a family, wife, kid? Family, yeah.
Girlfriend.
Love of my life. Problemo?
We haven't really explored the whole...
..move out of state, start-a-brand-new-life thing yet.
Tricky. Yeah.
I'll give you so me space.
Feel it. Smell it.
(SNIFFS) Drink it in.
Aeroplane, captain, money, rock star.
That's a lot of nouns.
We also validate parking.
Strange one to end on.
LUKE: Alright.
TEACHER: Twins. Congratulations. (SNIFFS)
Mine just turned 26 weeks so...
I speak from experience when I say I know it can seem daunting.
Not to, uh, prom king over here.
Seems like he's got everything under control.
These your first? We got one. Uh, seven.
(LAUGHS) One is a nap at the beach.
Three is someone left the gate open at the petting zoo.
Uncontrollable mayhem.
Wait till the babies start waking up in shifts,
screaming endlessly until you're so delirious,
you can't tell the difference between the sink and the toilet.
Your lives are about to change in ways
you're only starting to realise.
The chaos is real.
But that's alright, ladies, because at least we have help.
Right? Wrong. If your husband is anything like mine,
he'll become so overwhelmed, his only contribution
will be sitting on a bucket in the garage, staring blankly at the wall.
Oh, and birthdays, anniversaries?
I'm not sure he even knows we're still married,
but we'll rekindle the spark someday, won't we, Tom?
(CHILDREN CRYING) It's Tim.
(LAUGHS) Any questions so far? Great.
Let's do some breathing.
Such a gift. (LAUGHS)
(FAINTLY) You got it. That's it. Deeper.
(DEEP INHALE AND EXHALE)
STEPHAN: That was great. Stephan.
I... love you so much,
so I'm gonna say this as delicately as possible.
I am gonna kill you!
What?We have been planning this wedding for six months,
and we are no further along than when we started.
Well, I know we're not moving at light speed,
but, you know, we only get one shot.
I want it to be perfect.
I think you're focusing on the wrong things.
April is just around the corner and if we don't make some decisions,
then we're not gonna have a wedding to get wrong.
I think you're just getting in your own way.
Yep. You're right. But I can also get out of my own way.
Heck, I wrote the book on it. Sure did!
You know what? I'm gonna take a back seat. Even better.
I'm gonna get in the trunk.
This is me getting in the trunk. Get in the trunk!
Oh, look at me in the trunk. I'm just hanging out in the trunk here.
Look at all these linen tablecloths. I love linen!
Oh, perfect. Then we're gonna go with linen.
I'm in the driver's seat. I'm in here!
It's bumpy. I'm still in the trunk!
Oh! I love you.
(LIQUID DRIPPING)
Did you feel that? No.
What?
Oh.
(GASP)
I felt that.
Not bad, huh? Fiona.
What are you, uh...
You work here? Yeah. Six months.
Give or take. What happened to Chicago?
Greener pastures.
It's nice to see you. You look good.
Did you have something to do with this?
Just the referral.
Noah's building a team. I told him you're the best.
And that you would probably remind him of that every day. (CHUCKLES)
Hm. Listen.
I know the way I left things was not great.
I hope me being here won't get in the way of your decision.
A lot to think about.
This is everything you dreamed about.
Grab it, Taylor.
Uh... Hey, do me a favour.
Can you tell Noah that I'll be in touch?
I got a plane to catch.
Tay.
It is um...
It's really great to see you.
Yeah.
OK.
(WHISPERS) Why?
Why?
Are you OK?
Yeah, yeah.
That meeting was uh... Informative, right?
Oh, for sure.
But did it seem like that lady was a little... off?Hm.
She just, you know, painted a pretty grim picture.
Not everyone's experience is the same.
No. Of course.
It just seemed like all that talk of chaos
and forgetting anniversaries seemed a little over the top, no?
Sure. I guess. Oh. This is the one.
Three hundred bucks?
For a couple strips of fabric and a plastic buckle?
Can't just carry them around in shopping bags.
Would be more economical.
This meeting really got to you, didn't it?
You know what those other moms don't have that I do?Appeal.
A Luke Prepared Everett Brenner,
who's going to be the best father of three you ever did see.
You're right. We got this.
(LAUGHS) Yes. Yeah. Get it.
Get two. Why? We only need one.
But feel free to be just as generous
when you're shopping for my anniversary gift.
OK, babe.
(MAN SNEEZES)
SUSIE: OK. Yes. (STEPHAN SIGHS)
Merry Christmas.
Well, that was the contractor. Mm-hm.
They think it's leaky pipes. It's gonna take a week to fix.
Oh, you're kidding me?
Well, looks like we're spending Christmas at mom's.
(PHONE RINGING)
I will let you take that.Stephan, you can't ignore him forever.
I'm not. I just...
I don't think he likes me very much.
Why on earth would you say that?
Well, the one time I met him, he said, "I don't like you very much."
He was joking! Listen, once you get to know him better,
you two are gonna be like this.
Two snakes locked in a death spiral?
(LAUGHS) No! Look, why don't I finish up here,
and you run some stuff over to your mom's
before this place turns into a swimming pool.
OK. (PHONE RINGING)
Thank you.
Hi, Daddy.
(INDISTINCT PA ANNOUNCEMENT)
Is that for me?
Unless you see a bigger dummy.
I'm looking at one.
Mm. So how was it? How'd it go?
Good.I mean, what did he say? Does he want to invest?
Partner. Seriously?
Yeah. I knew it! I knew it.
What did I... I told you so, that you...
Babe, this... I mean, this is huge.
I mean, there's still a lot of details to iron out,
things to discuss. (GARBLES WORDS)
I am so proud of you.
You worked so hard for this and...
partnership?
Yeah. Unreal.
Look- And I'm double-parked,
so we gotta bust it. I don't want to get a ticket.OK.
Partnership!
(CHUCKLES) This guy right here!
(DOOR CLOSES) LUKE: Oh hey, everybody.
Hi!
Finally. Do you wanna help decorate the gingerbread house?
Oh. Sure do, bud.
We just, uh, gotta get your mom off her feet.
Oh. Might have overdone it a bit.
I'll get you some water. But how did the class go?
Nice.Very informative. Wasn't concerning at all.
Great. STEPHAN: Hello!
Hi!You finally going on that seniors cruise?
(LAUGHS) I wish.
No. Crashing temporarily. We got a leaky ceiling.
Uncle Stephan, can you help me? Absolutely, buddy. I'd love to!
I live for gingerbread. Uncle Taylor!
My dude. Yes.
I can't breathe.
Did you bring me anything?
Uh, I brought myself. Is that not enough?
I also brought you a small and expensive drone.
(TRILLS LIPS) Awesome.
Seriously, Taylor?
That gift is bigger than what he gets for Christmas.
I missed him. I-It creates unrealistic expectation.
Exactly. Wait. What are we all doing here?
So how did it go? Yeah.
What happened? Come on.
Well, the gingerbread house is out,
I thought we'd do it together.
That's what I said. That what he said?
Since when are you Mr Gingerbread? I'm not.
Don't hold out on us.
How did the meeting go? What happened?
It went. It went.
It went? What does that...? Come on!
Come on. He wants to partner!
What? He wants to partner!
What does that mean? What are you talking about?
That is so great. What does that look like?
Spill it, we want the details. Well...
..it's complicated. Can we talk about the gingerbread house?
What do you mean, talk about the gingerbread?
(ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER)
Thomas.
What have I said about throwing things?
Ma? You selling the house?
I was going to talk to you about it.
This is not exactly the way I planned to bring it up,
but... yes, I am.
I'm fine. Honestly. I'm OK.
Well, I've been thinking about it for a long time,
and, you know, I love this place,
but it's a lot of house for one person so...
Two people. I'm also in the basement.
And you all are moving on or will move on.
Going on with your lives.
And it just seems like a smart time to downsize.
So then I'll have money freed up for other adventures, you know.
Well, you know what? I think it's a great idea.
You do? I do, Mom.Me, too.
If it's what you want, you know. Wow. Wow.
No, I thought somebody was gonna faint or...
No tears, no yelling. This is... You're acting all very grown up.
It's cos we are. Don't do that.
Well, I guess this is the last family Christmas in the house.
(DOOR OPENS)
Oh. Sus, come on in. Mom's got some big news!
I got some big news of my own.
Look who drove all the way from Arizona to join us for Christmas.
Everyone, this is my dad.
Hi. The more the merrier.
Bob, I can't tell you how happy we all are to finally meet you.
(CHUCKLES) Stephan has told us about you.
Oh, well... you look like you've been hitting the gym
since the last time we've seen each other, huh?
Oh, no. No, Dad. That's-that's Luke.
This is my fiance, Stephan. Remember?
Ah. Also very strong.
Of course. Hi, sir.
What's in there?
This...
(GASPS) That's my friend Jerry.
He's an Australian Lutino Cockatiel.
Can he talk?
(SQUAWKS) Hello. Pretty neat, huh?
And he's got a really good judge of character.
You know, Bob, bit of an animal lover myself, actually. Uh...
Hey there, little fella. (SQUAWKS) Loser.
Alright. Hey. That's my thing.
Dad, you couldn't have left the bird at home?
You know, over the holidays with a neighbour or somebody?Honey!
Jerry and I have spent all of his Christmases together.
I'd never hear the end of it if I left him behind.
Besides, him and I need to get to know the young man
that my little Susie Bear will be marrying.
You know. Get the feeling he's been trying to hide from me.
(SNORTS) Hiding? No.
Maybe we should stay in a hotel. It's a bit busy here.
With the bird and the ceiling and the flood and ugh.
Absolutely not.
You will take the guest house out back.
The guest house?! That's where...
That's where... I would say.
I-I don't want to impose.
Well, don't be silly. It's Christmas.
We'd love to have you. It's Christmas.
Stephan, can you help him with his bags?
And then you can come join us for some gingerbread house decorating.
Finally!
You were living here until when?
Uh, a couple of years ago. Yeah, yeah.
Pretty common for your generation, I suppose.
Adults still living with their moms.
Yeah, still with some Christmas toys, no less.
Oh, well, I wasn't living with Mom.
This is a free-standing autonomous dwelling,
just it's in her backyard.
You know, by the time I was 18,
I was training resistance fighters in northern Somalia.
I was stationed there on and off for almost 20 years.
Oh, that's when he rescued Jerry.
Oh, I actually like to think that he rescued me, honey.
You know, I didn't even know those birds could live that long.
Yeah, up to 30 years.
But only with the right relationship and a stable, loving environment.
I mean, not every bird is as lucky.
Not every relationship is right.
You don't have a history of rodents around here, do you?
Rodents? Uh, no, no. I mean, unless you count
that giant rat cave in the back. No, no, no, we don't...
We don't joke about rodents. We don't joke about rodents.
Dad has a thing about them from his time in the service.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, so you get settled,
and, um, we'll see you inside for gingerbread.
Right.
Bye, Terry. Jerry!
Jerry.
Hey.
Do you think that whole partnership thing was directed right at me?
No. He was talking to Jerry.
Or was he talking through Jerry to me?
I think you're overthinking this.
And also, how come I've never heard about this bird?
He has a bird. What's the big deal? I don't know.
I mean, if my dad had a pet that was almost older than I was,
I would like to think that at some point in our six years
of loving, committed relationship, it would come up in conversation.
Stephan. Yeah.
This is a really great opportunity for you to get to know my dad.
And I'm getting in my own way. Mm-hm.
OK.Why don't you get the luggage out of the way?
Yes, ma'am.
Pretty crazy timing, huh? What do you mean, Bob?
Yeah, I don't like all that bird talk to my brother.
No, I-I mean, you know, your mom selling this place.
Yeah. Spent my whole... life here.
Coded my... first game there.
Put Stephan's head through the wall... there,
during our wrestling phase.
Yeah, this is home.
But babe, you know, we have been...
..talking about getting a place together.
If there was ever a sign from the universe, I mean...
They want me to move to San Francisco.
Uh, wow. Like...
Like you mean, like, move there, move there.
Yeah. Lots to discuss, obviously. A lot of choices to make.
Well, I... STEPHAN: Incoming.
(TRILLS LIPS)
What are you doing? Basement's ours.
Since when? Since now.
Says who? Says me.
How is that fair? It's not.
Mom! Mom!
GIGI: Figure it out!
Ah. What is happening?
Cracked your code. Hit the road. Alright.
I've got to get to work, but... to be continued, OK?
Where am I gonna sleep?
(LIGHT CONVERSATIONS)
OK. Here we go. Ooh! King's Hawaiian.
Bob, we are so happy to welcome you to our home.
And pretty soon, to the family. Here, here.
Dig in before it gets cold.
No! Guests first.
So I understand that you were in the military.
Uh... Delta Force, three tours.
Delta Force? SUSIE: Yes, that's right.
Three tours. Since, uh, my service ended,
I went into the industrial tooling, and forged drill bits.
Um... wedding planning is coming along.
Is it? Yeah. I mean, you know,
I have to still formally decide on a couple of things.
Isn't that breaking tradition?
leaving the bride to planning the wedding or...
Sure. Ty... Uh, typically, yeah.
Although, you know, it's actually pretty normal these days.
This is something you dreamed about since you were a little girl?
Surprisingly, yes. So Mom, is the house listed yet?
I would also like to know the answer to that question.
Given that I still live here, too.
Yes. Yes, the house has been listed.
It seems fast, but the realtor tells me that the market's hot,
so it's a good time.
Mom, you have made so many memories in this home.
I think it's about time we do the same thing for you.
Huh? What do you say, buddy?
Why don't we show Bob here how the Brenner family does Christmas?
And if this is gonna be the last Christmas here,
well, then...
..let's make it the best Christmas ever.
Best Christmas ever. Best Christmas ever.
What do you say? Best Christmas ever?
Uh... best Christmas ever.
ALL: Best Christmas ever! (GLASSES CLINK)
Last call, Bob. Train's leaving the station.
Come on. Who doesn't love Christmas shopping?
Think of it as a great way to do a little man bonding.
Yeah, I heard that, too. Please?
(SIGHS) OK. You know what, sure.
Great!
I'm not much of a shopper, but anything for my little girl.
Hey.Oh, I have to get some of that gingerbread tea.
Oh, I forgot my purse. Can you grab my purse?
Yes. Thank you.
(JERRY CHATTERING) Hello, Jerry.
Well, I guess you are pretty cute.
(SQUAWKS) Loser.
You're a loser.
Jerry?
Jerry? Hey, Jerry!
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not good.
Bob! Uh, wake up.
Hey! Wake up! Bob, I think you...
You probably gonna get back in here.
Jerry. Come on, wake up. Wake up!
Bob, I-I think Jerry's maybe not feeling too good.
Come on! Come on!
Ah! OK.
Uh... Bob, a bit of an emergency.
Oh, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, J...
(SQUAWKS)
No!
(GASPS) Charming.
Looks surprisingly like the ones by the front door. Hm.
It's the thought that counts.
Hi. Hi.
So I was thinking all night about your big news from yesterday,
and I did a little bit of research, and, honestly, Taylor,
I have to tell you that I just...
I really think it could be good for us.
I do. Like, perfect.
Really. It's like a big change.
But it's everything that we ever wanted.
And there's actually there's a really good music scene there.
And check this out. I found this amazing apartment.
A little expensive, but that's San Francisco, right?
And look, it has everything.
It's next to a park so we can get a dog.
And cute little kitchen we'll never cook in.
Wow. See.
This is, um... This is what?
I just didn't realise you'd be on board so fast.
Well, why wouldn't I? This...
I mean, this is exactly what we've been talking about and...
San Francisco was never part of the plan, right?
No, but, babe, this is your dream.
And we've been talking about next steps.
And here they are, like, right in front of us, so.
Maybe this job's not the one.
Not the one? But...
What am I missing here?
Because this is exactly what we've been wanting.
Maybe. Maybe it's not.
Which part? You mean the job or...
..doing this together?
I don't know...
what I... want.
OK, then.
I-I have no idea what's happening and I really...
Right. See.
I gotta get back to work.
I have not told any of my family about this yet.
Of course you haven't.
(JAZZY VERSION OF "DECK THE HALLS")
SOPHIE: This really gets you into the Christmas spirit.
Oh! Luke just sent over our BCE checklist.
BCE? Best Christmas Ever.
(CHUCKLES)Luke is determined to prove he can be a superdad.
We've got sledding, decorating the tree, cookies.
Mm-hm. Carolling, pinata?
Hi. I guess we can cross Santa's visit off the list.
Assuming we get there before the mall closes.
(SIGHS) Let's keep it snappy, folks.
Yeah. Ma! I need...
Oh, I need you to stand here with him while I have mama sit down.
No, no, I'm gonna go home, let you guys have lunch.
Get in line. Stand in line.
I'm gonna stand in line. Thank you, honey.OK.
Are you excited to see Santa, Uncle Stephan?
I'm losing my mind.
Uncle Taylor! What's up, T?
Steph, what's on your wish list? Last altitude? (CHUCKLES)
Hit me. Pow! Pow.
(GRUNTS) Hey, just stand in line for a sec, buddy.
I need to talk to you for a second.
Would you be cool? I'm cool.
Jerry escaped out the window.
OK. OK?
I need you to go to the house and-and look for him.
Did he escape or did you do something stupid and he got away?
What does it matter? Well, one's funnier.
Look. I am a dead man. I have to be here.
But you can go. No one will miss you.
Oh, wow. That's flattering.
Not going bird hunting. I promised T I would be here for Santa.
It's his turn to go. Hey, buddy, let's do this. You ready?
(CLEARS THROAT) Um... Nope. Um, no.
I'm afraid Santa is going on break. What break? No. There's no break.
Santa doesn't get a break. Santa's magic.
Why does Santa need a break? What'd you do to the elf?
Nothing. I just...
Look, this young man has been waiting for nearly an hour, alright?
And he needs to get home soon. So I would strongly appreciate
if you would ask Santa to sit right where he is.
Give him a jolly ho-ho-ho,
and let our little nephew tell him what he wants for Christmas.
Please, Mr Elf, please.
See that? You can't say no to that.
(CHUCKLES) Fine.
You're a sweet little child. You may go!
You got this! Make it quick.
What are you doing? Saving us 20 bucks.
Oh, my gosh.
There we go.
Our Christmas obligation to your child has been fulfilled.
Now, may we go on break? Is that permissible?
Free of threat, Hm?
OK. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome.
Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, sir.
Alright. Let's go! Someone's on the naughty list.
Ouch! Oh! Ah!
Oh. Ooh!
Right. So how do they differ from real contractions? I wasn't sure.
Can some body play with me? Right.
Shh. Mommy's on the phone, sweetheart.
I'll play with you in just a little while.
That's great to hear. Hey, is everything OK?
Yes. Yes? Yes.
Yeah. Was that the doctor?
What she say? Yeah.
(CHUCKLES) I'm fine. Twins are fine. Good.
Just Braxton Hicks. Totally normal. Yeah.
But she wants me off my feet.
Keep these muffins in a little longer.
Well, that's it. You're staying here.
All of you are gonna stay here.
There will be someone to watch you while Luke is working.Mom.
Stop it. What, are you kidding me? You'll stay in my room.
End of discussion.
Great. Sleepover.
(SIGHS) (SIGHS)
Well, that was eventful.
(CHUCKLES) That's an understatement.
I think I might just scoot back over to the...
Jerry! He's gone.
What?! What do you mean, gone?
As in G-O-N-E?
Yes. Stephan.
As he was here when I left and now he's... gone.
(GASPS) The window.
Jerry! Jerry?
Jerry!
God, he's been out all night. Unfamiliar turf.
He's not a cold weather bird. If something should happen to him...
Dad, I'm sure he's gonna be OK.
He's smart, resourceful.
Remember how he used to play dead to get out of his cage?
You don't say.
Alright, I'm all set to go.
Who's ready to go sledding?
Oh, you have been so patient, Thomas,
but I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer.
But dad promised we'd go sledding today.I know.
It's even on the list. Yeah.
Uncle Stephan? Uncle Taylor? Oh. Sorry, buddy.
We're-We're still kinda doing a little detective stuff here.
Would love to, pal. Can you give me an hour, though?
Where's the Christmas spirit?
Barb? Yeah.
Do you think that we could open one of the windows?
Just in case he wants to fly back in?
Yes. Yep. Good idea.
Of course. Yes.
And let me get you some hot cocoa to get you warmed up, huh?
No. You know what? I'm gonna get back out there.
Because odds of finding missing persons
drops 76 percent in the first 24 hours.
I wonder what it is for birds.
(LUKE INHALES)
You good, Chief? Yeah. How long have you been there?
Oh. Long enough.
Just giving my niece and nephews a little tour.
Guys, say hi to Chief Brenner. ALL: Hi.
What little cuties!
(ALARM BLARING)
Oh.
Oh, yeah. Go ahead.
I got it. You sure, Chief?
Yeah. Come on. Easy peasy.
(ALARM CONTINUES TO WAIL) (TRILLS LIPS) OK.
So... you wanna see the fire trucks? Yeah!
Alright, let's go!
(PHONE RINGING)
Guys! Don't run! Don't run!
(SMASHING BUTTONS) Not the red buttons!
Uh, where'd you guys go?
Uh, maybe we shouldn't... Maybe we just keep this in here.
(METALLIC CLANGING) Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't-Don't... Don't go up there.
Don't go up there. Yeah. Keep it down.
(METALLIC CRASH)
Taylor Brenner, the man, the myth. You calling with good news?
Should I send the private jet to come pick you up?
No, no, no, not quite yet.
Listen... this whole setting up shop in Silicon Valley thing,
how stuck are we on that?
Non-starter, my man. I need you here.
Boots on the ground, making magic.
What do we have to do to close this up?
Tell you what. You hear that?
(KEYS JINGLING) It's keys to an apartment.
It's yours. Signing bonus. Boom! Let's do this.
The only thing missing is a yes, baby.
Well, you certainly make it hard to say no, No-ah.
Then don't.
Gonna need an answer by Christmas. Don't let me down.
More importantly, Taylor, don't let yourself down.
Peace out.
Alright. Yes.
This is the last of it. Oh, thank you.
Yes, Mom. (DOOR CLOSES)
(SIGHS) Any luck?
Nope. Well, I am making Christmas cookies.
And Christmas was saved.
What in the world happened to you? And why is Thomas with you?
Apparently, he pushed another kid at the park.
Well, did that kid start it? It doesn't matter who started it.
He's absolutely right.
It does not matter that he started it.
(WHISPERS) It does.
That's not like you. No, it's not.
He's not very sorry about it either, so he's going to his room.
No, I'm not. I beg your pardon?
I don't have a room here anymore. Gigi's selling the house!
Oh, well, look, let's just take a breath here, OK?
You know what I would really like to do right now?
I would like all of us to make some Christmas cookies.
Ma. He pushed a kid.OK, so he can push some cookies into the oven.
What does that teach him? What does any of it teach?
You're not even seeking to understand.What?
I'm seeking to understand why Luke looks like
he just came from a tween music festival.
Oh, yeah? Lead singer was missing his fingerless gloves.
You got some he can borrow? I do.
Yeah.And they give me the power to do this.
No, no, no, no. No.
Do not put that finger in my face.
(GASPS SOFTLY) Oh.
Talking about these fingers? Don't.
All day, every day. Bro.
Hey! Don't touch my brother.
Oh, you want to get chatty, too?
I'm a bit of an animal guy myself there, Bob.I am an animal guy.
Jerry, Jerry. He's our man. If I can't find him, no one can.
I'm Taylor. Sometimes, I'm happy.
And sometimes... ..I'm angry.
(MEN YELL) (SIGHS)
Knock. It. Off.
Where did Thomas go? Merry Christmas. Where do you think?
What kind of an example are you guys?
(SIGHS) When is he starting fights?
Things are slipping, and that's just with one.
I had three at the fire station and I about lost my mind.
I don't know how I'm gonna survive.
Well, you will. I did.
Dad didn't.
Your dad didn't leave because he had three kids.
He left because he gave up on himself.
And that is not anything any of you will ever have to worry about.
Because it's not who you are.
You don't give up. Yes. Three kids can be a lot.
Yes, you will worry all the time, three times as much.
But you'll also... you'll get three times the love.
You don't give up. That's it.
Whatever comes at us, we handle it as a family.
That's who we are. Got it?
Yeah. OK. Good.
Cos I thought we said best Christmas ever.
And what do we have? We have a lost bird.
An upset child.
And whatever this is that you are going through.
And zero Christmas!
We don't even have a tree.
ALL: It's on the list. Alright. OK.
Everybody, grab an apron.
Go get Thomas and anyone else who is in this house,
because we are checking another thing off the list.
We are making cookies.
And just maybe for a little while,
we can not be so grown up.
Just for a little... Ma, Ma!
OK, OK. Yeah. What?
Just for a little bit. Two can play at this game.
Oh, really? Pa-tah!
(LAUGHING) Get her!
(SQUEALS) Get her!
Sorry I lost my patience today, buddy.
It's just been a lot with everyone around,
and the babies on the way,
and I could have handled myself better today.
I'm sorry. Everyone's always busy.
It feels like everyone's forgotten about me.
Is-Is that what this is about, Thomas?
That's what you're worried about?
It's impossible to forget about you.
You're our whole world.
But you'll have two more babies to love.
I won't even see you.
You're our first.
OK, you're the reason why I'm a dad.
That's yours and mine,
and no new babies will ever take that away from us. OK?
Hey. I love you...
a million times a billion.
I love you a billion times a quadrillion.
(LAUGHS) That's not even a word!
It's a word if he says it's a word. What's going on here?
Sorry for pushing Eric at the park.
Hey, I'm sorry that you thought you needed our attention.
Oh, I think we've all been a little preoccupied
with our own stuff lately. Yeah. We suck.
(CHUCKLES)
What's gonna happen to my room when Gigi sells the house?
I think Gigi's gonna get you an even better room.Mm-hm.
What will happen to yours?
That I am still working on.
You won't go far, will you?
I'll tell you one thing.
You, me, these geniuses, this is forever.
What do you say I play hooky from work tomorrow...
..and we start crossing these things off the list?
I got an idea.
(BIRDSONG)
Hello?
(ENGLISH ACCENTS)Milord. Are you prepared?
Prepared for what? (BOTH MIMIC SWORDS ZINGING)
A game, nay.
A battle. (ZING)
Forged right here in this very room when we were your age.
Been waiting a long time for this one, boys.
Welcome to...
Medieval...
Christmas... War.
(TRUMPET SOUNDS)
Cha-a-arge! (BATTLE CRIES)
Stab!
(BATTLE CRIES)
As quick as you can, come on out! Yes!
(ALL LAUGHING)
(GROANS)
ALL: (BATTLE CRIES) Charge!
Good morning. Oh, Bob. Hi, Bob.
Hey, Bob.
Morning, Bob. GIGI: Wow!
We're going to pick a tree. Yeah, we are.
Great!Oh, that is Dad's favourite part of Christmas!
Oh, he loves trekking into the woods and cutting down a tree.
(GASPS) You should join them. Yes!
Oh! Uh, I would love that.
Uh, yeah. Thank you, sweetie, but, um, I think I'll take a pass.
You know what, Bob? We'll chop one down in your honour.
We love chopping down trees. Really?
Mm-hm. They'd love it.
Yeah. Especially Stephan.
If trees had nightmares, they'd be about him.
You know that's true. Yeah. No. I love chopping trees.
Sometimes I'll go out in the woods sometimes and just chop them down.
Chop. Just... That's not true. I respect nature.
I would never just go and chop down a living tree.
Son-in-law?
Son... in awe.
Welcome to the family, Bob.
I think you look cute. Thanks.
Why would you volunteer us to chop down a tree?
Because it's cool. Also, to impress your new dad.
You can always stick around,
explain to him how you lost his one and only friend.
What? What?! Hey, you know what, buddy?
Here, go play with those for a sec.
Dude! You lost his bird?
I didn't lose the bird. It outsmarted him.
It outsmarted... It didn't outsmart me!I knew it.
He can never find out. OK? I need him to like me.
Does it feel like he doesn't like me?
Trick question.
Why are you trying so hard? Oh, I don't know.
Maybe I'm not great at the whole father-son relationship thing
cos I've never had a father-son relationship thing.
OK. Stop stressing, Stephan. Well-
Speaking of stress.
When did that go up?
Can we stay focused?
You guys aren't even torn up about this a little bit?
A tree is not gonna cross itself off the list.
Why don't we just pull out the fake? What?
The fake? For our last Christmas in the house?
Together? No.
No, it's gotta be real.
If you don't want to chop it down, then we're gonna do a pre-cut.
That way, you can still pretend to be a man.Offended.
And you can do your unhinged overcompensating list thing.
Also offended.
And all three of us are going to go and fix my problem.
OK. It's three days away from Christmas.
It's gonna be slim pickings. Yeah.
What about the guy who sets up behind the mall?
The Christmas trees, pets and more guy?
Yeah. Why not?I'll drive.
Enjoy.
Four children's menus? Yeah, go.
Using an adorable seven year old to do your bidding.
He is cute. Is it working?
No. Plan B.
We would very much like
if you could decorate Gigi's tree with us this evening,
and forgive Uncle Taylor for being a...
..dummy. Oh right, a ginormous dummy.
He added the ginormous part. It was a choice, strong one.
Stand by it. Me, too.
Does this mean that he knows what he wants?
It's a big menu. Lots of options.
I have some ideas, but I would love to hear your...
..recommendations.
OK.
I want to order ice cream.
One ice cream coming up.
Three. Two. One. Yay! GIGI: Yes!
Woo-hoo! Well done!
You cut that down? With his bare hands, Bob.
You ever seen this guy swing an axe? Rugged. Masculine.
Unnecessarily shirtless. OK.
That is serious son-in-law material.
Good job.
You know what? Not bad.
Not bad at all. GIGI: Yeah, it's fantastic.
I love it. It's beautiful. It's a beautiful tree.
Can I put up the ornaments now?
Yes! Oh, yeah. Let's go buddy. Come on.
(JERRY SQUAWKS)
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Jerry! You came back!
(LAUGHS)
You're safe. Hey!
And Christmas was saved!
Never gets old. Come on.
Yeah. (GASPS)
LUKE: This is making out to be a great Christmas.
Maybe one of the best Christmases ever.
BOB: Jerry, I'm so happy you're safe.
How did you get out of your cage? (SQUAWKS)
Stephan.
Uh... I knew it.
I knew it! Can you really trust a bird?
Really, Stephan? Rodent.
I don't think name calling is appropriate.
No, no, no. Rodent!
Rodent! It's in the tree!
(SCREAMING)
It's right there. I see it! I see it!
GIGI: Why is there a rodent in the tree!
Get off my table!
Did you see it? It's underneath the...
They'll get it. Yeah.
(SUSIE SQUEALS)
Ah! Ow! Ah! It bit me!
It bit me! It bit me!
(PANTING) I got it.
Christmas is ruined.
This is the worst Christmas ever.
Oh, buddy.
Wow.
I thought Christmas at my house was exciting.
Cute guinea pig.
(THUD) Um... babe?
Where is the doctor with the rabies shot?
Doctor!Let me make you a little more comfortable here, Bob. Sorry.
Get off. Alright!
If it isn't the Brenner boys. Wouldn't be Christmas without you.
Doctor MacLaren. OK, let me see if I got this right.
You got attacked by a rat. A guinea pig.
You got attacked by a guinea pig. Yeah. Bit me on the foot.
On the foot.And you passed out from seeing a guinea pig?
Fiona. The guinea pig's name is Fiona?
Ex-girlfriend, broke his heart. Can you not?
Sorry. I'm nervous. I talk when I'm nervous.
That was your ex-girlfriend? Plot twist.
I thought she lived in Chicago.
She did, then she moved to Silicon Valley.She what?
Would someone please give me a rabies shot sometime this century?
So did you see her in Silicon Valley? I didn't see her, see her.
I saw her at the meeting. What? You what?
Why was she at your meeting? She works for the company.
She what?! Are you good?
Look, I didn't realise at the time
that she was the reason I got the offer to partner, to move.
To move? You're moving?! Where was this information
when we were all sharey-sharey in the driveway?
You want to talk about sharey-sharey?
Yeah. You want to share, Stephan? Not really. No.
Good news, Bob. You didn't get bit by anything.
Looks like you stepped on a Christmas ornament.
I will get you a Band-Aid.
OK. Is she-is she the reason why you don't want to take the job?
Should we examine your head?
Oh, yeah. He definitely needs his head examined.
Are you really moving?
GIGI: Taylor, what's going on?
They want me to move there, and I have until Christmas to make a decision.
What? Yeah.
But that's three days away. Yeah.
This is big. I know
(SIGHS) I'm very, very proud of you.
I just didn't realise I would have to be proud of you from afar.
Yeah. Neither did I.
Honestly, I think I've taken you all for granted.
And now that I'm faced with the idea of losing you, I...
..do not think I can do it.
I've never had the three of you
more than an arm's reach away, so I don't know.
I don't know if I like you all grown up.
I take that back. I do.
Yeah?I like you grown up just could you do it a little slower, please?
You know, this house could change.
The twins, they will come. Yes, they will.
And Stephan, Bob and the bird, you'll figure it out.
Taylor, you can move, but promise me we'll always have this.
Me and my boys.
Just, you know, keep in touch.
Can we get this Christmas back on track, please?
I could really use that. I'm sorry.
Nothing to be sorry for. Everybody get in.
How's this for backup? Coming in now.
My back. Best Christmas ever.
Best Christmas ever!
Remember last year when the tree tackled Luke?(LAUGHS)
I don't. Remember when Mom spent Christmas at Aunt Louise's?
And Thomas got to pick out his first Christmas tree?
The noble fir... ..is nobler.
I am going to go way back.
Taylor couldn't have been much more than two.
And Luke always puts the star on the top of the tree.
Well, Stephan tried once, but he got dizzy from the heights
and he threw up all over the tree. What?
That checks out. So Luke put Taylor on his shoulders.
And Stephan, you spotted them. Aw.
Yeah. You could barely.. you could barely reach it.
But you tried really hard. And it really warmed my heart.
Well, it's a lot of memories. Yeah.
Well...
Really? Mm-hm.
Yeah. OK. Fine.
Yeah. (CLEARS THROAT)
Alright. Alright, here we go. (CLEARS THROAT)
Brace yourself. Alright.
There he is. Reach!
I'm trying. Come on!
Get it up there. A little more.
There we go. Alright, get him down! Get him down!
(COUGHS) How'd we do, Ma? Yeah, Ma.
Oh. It is perfect.
Perfect. My Brenner men.
Excellent. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, my gosh, I wish Roy was here.
Oh, Ma. We're here. It's alright.
Oh, I know you are. We miss him, too, Ma.
Yeah. You do? Yeah. He doesn't, but...
Where are you? Roy's a good guy.
Yeah. Yeah.Thanks.
Thanks.
Good morning. Morning.
Morning. Morning, hon.
How's everybody? Good?
What do we want to do today, huh? Ice skating maybe?
Uh... Alright. OK. Bad idea.
Um, the Christmas market. We could do the Christmas market.
Oh, I don't think so. You don't think so?
Yeah. OK. Horse racing. Right.
No. You don't... Motorbikes through a ring of fire.
What's up, guys? What?What's going on?
You'd love it. Dad. What's this?
Barb, thank you for your hospitality, but I'm gonna be moving to a hotel.
Sir, if I could please say one thing.
You could, but you wouldn't change my mind.
Now, this house is a little more exciting than I'm used to.
So we'll catch up later, Susie Bear. Of course. Mwah.
Enjoy your Christmas. We will.
Sorry about last night, uh... surprising you.
I just thought I'd pop in and say Merry Christmas
to the family while I was in town.
Yeah, the old ex-girlfriend pop in.
Totally normal.
Is your head OK?
Look, three years ago, you disappeared to Chicago.
Ripped my heart out of my chest.
Never heard from you again. Now you are recruiting me for a job.
Popping in to say hi. What's going on here, Fi?
The company is looking for a strategic partner and...
..you're the best. You are a pain, absolutely.
But the very best there is.
Would you have taken the meeting if you knew I was there?
Yeah, I don't know.
What I do know is that I um...
..worked very hard to get to where I am.
And I have also built a whole new life
that I would very much like to keep so...
..if I do accept,
you need to be OK with that.
No more pop-ins, promise.
Please. (CHUCKLES)
Knock, knock.
Hey.
Got some breakfast for you.
I am so sorry about last night.
Random animal in the tree was not the plan.
Thomas was really upset. I'll fix that. But Soph...
..I need to tell you how grateful I am for you.
I woke up this morning feeling so lucky.
And I promise
I will never become Tim.
Who's Tim?
The guy, you know, from class.
Why are you thinking about him?
I'm not. I mean, that's the point?
OK. Great.
I feel just as lucky.
And I am so grateful for you. Aw, babe.
And I have something special for you.Really?
Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary?
It happened.
I've become Tim.
How many have you had there, big guy?
(GRUNTS)
I forgot our anniversary.
Never forgotten anything like this in my life.
Except that time you forgot a baby.
Christmas is a mess, and one little guy
who should be loving it more than anyone thinks it's ruined.
Back alley tree guy, not a good idea. That's on me.
I agreed to it. Father of the year.
Cos I was so concerned with impressing Bob.
Steph... you are impressive.
I have always looked up to you.
And not just because you are a hundred feet tall.
But because who you are is a hundred feet tall.
And you? You are the best dad a kid could ask for.
Watching you with T over the years
has made me believe in fathers again.
Made me believe that even maybe one day...
..who knows, maybe I could do it, too.
Now look, I know I'm the worst brother.
And I never tell you guys how I feel about you.
But the truth is, you are both...
..my best friends.
Hey. Tay.
You are absolutely...
..the worst brother.
I know a thing or two about fear,
and you can't let it dictate what you do
when you're chasing something you love,
worked your whole life for.
I don't think this job is worth it. What if it is?
What if it's the best thing that ever happened to you?
You won't know until you try, T.
And like you said, this right here, it's always gonna be here.
Absolutely.
OK. This mess of a Christmas cannot be our last.
Put it on the list. I gotta fix things with Soph.
I blew it. You didn't blow it.
OK, maybe you blew it, but Sophie knows you, man.
Come on. You're Luke Brenner.
If perfect was a person, it would be you.
You square-jawed, firefighting legend.
First thing on the list...
..Sophie, anniversary gift. Yeah!
Now you.
I mean, if this wedding's got any chance at all,
I gotta smooth things over with Susie a-and Bob.Love that.
OK. Next thing we're gonna do, Bob over for dinner tomorrow night.
Yeah.OK. That's right.
And we are gonna show him that you are the ideal son-in-law.
Yeah. And not just some bird-losing liar.
Ah, go back to the other guy. I went too hard?Yeah.
You're a legend. Yeah!
Oh! Ow!
You'll be alright. Yeah.
Wait! How do we fix things with Thomas?
Yeah. We don't even know what he wants for Christmas yet.
We're relying on some mall Santa to leave it under the tree for him.
BOTH: He's got an idea.
Santa sees a hundred kids a day. He's not gonna know who Thomas is.
I think he might.
What did you two do?
No, no, no. Once was enough.
Why do you three insist on trying to ruin my Christmas?!
He's just joking. He's kidding around.
We go way back. Yeah.
What's up with this guy? Ah, we had a slight altercation.
Hi. Hi.
I want you to stay away from me! Hold on. Hold on now.
OK? I have a question about my son, Thomas. That's it.
I know exactly who your son is!
Ah, I knew it. Mr B.
Yes. That's right.
After you three maniacs destroyed my musical last year,
I was forced to take a sabbatical to reset.
And when I returned to the school,
they told me they hired a new drama teacher.
One without a hair-trigger temper,
and an inordinate amount of upper-body tension.
But right now, I'm forced to do odd jobs just to get by.
Wow.I played Hamlet at the Delacorte Free Theatre
in a performance that critics praised
as worth every penny and stomach-able.
And now I'm an elf...
..in a mall made for shopping.
Couldn't get the job as Santa, huh?
It's very political. It's such a shame.
And who you know. What is happening here?
I just need to know what Thomas asked for for Christmas.
(SCOFFS) You want my help? Yes.
Oh. (LAUGHS)
Cos I could help you. I...
I have it written down here on this list.Perfect.
Oh. I could do something of value.
Amazing.That's exactly what my therapist said I should do.
But they're not here right now. And why would I help you?
After all you've done to me.
Security! ALL: No, no, no.
Escort these out of here! No, alright.
Get... Don't you dare! Don't you...
That is my clipboard. This is official Santa business!
I've got super strength! (GRUNTS)
Ah!
(CHILDREN SCREAM)
(GLASS SHATTERS)
(CHILDREN YELL) (SLEIGH CLATTERS)
(FRAME THUDS)
(WHIMPERS)
(BACKDROP CREAKS)
(WHIMPERS)
(SHOUTS) Why is there confetti?!
OK.
What have you done?
You menaces!
You... plagues!
You want to know what your son wants for Christmas?
(CHUCKLES) He wants a Mighty Mech.
Yes. The most popular toy of the season.
Oh, yeah. The one that, as soon as it's restocked,
immediately sells out again!
(CACKLES) You're too late!
You're too late, Brenner brothers.
(LAUGHS)
Merry Christmas, Brenners. (LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY)
Hey, this is a big mistake. Is that necessary?
I'm fragile. (SIGHS)
This is great. Yeah.
What are we gonna do now? (TYRES SCREECH)
Looks like I found the nerd convention.
Cos... you guys would be at it.
Nice, Mark LaClark. What's up?
We're trying to get a toy for Thomas. There was a... misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding. Misunderstanding's my middle name.
Uno momento los nerdos. Alright.
(TYRES SCREECH) (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Ah! How did you get here so fast?
I never left. I'm everywhere.
So what toy does the kid want? Flippers. Karma blocks. Vitamix.
Shop-vac. Samurai sword. Mighty Mech, actually.
Mighty Mech? Yeah.He's got taste!
You can teach it to do stuff. It can... It can talk to you.
It can be your best friend. That's why I'm here.
I'm gonna get one myself. Well, good luck with that.
They sell out in seconds. Can't spell LaClark without luck.
And a couple other letters.
Inventory reports, truck delivery schedules,
stock clerks, ship rotation. None of that matters.
We still have to get past security at the front door.
Hm. They're looking for three fashionless ding dongs.
We're gonna blend into the chaos.
# Well, it's Christmas time Pretty baby
# And snow is falling on the ground # Christmas
# Christmas
# Well, you'll be a real good little baby
# Santa Claus is back in town Yes, he is #
Why are you in disguise? Let me have this!
OK. The Mighty Mech display is right around the corner.
Do you wanna sync watches?
They're gonna restock the shelves in under five minutes.
Yeah.Mine doesn't work. I only have a cell phone.
Amateurs! Hey, why do they have one already?
Oh, no. Somebody jumped the gun. What?
It's every man for himself. Wait. Mark LaClark!
Wow! A traitor. It's OK boys, we got this.
(PHONE RINGING) As long as we stick together.
Yeah. Oh, that's Caroline, I gotta go.
Are you serious? Yeah. I gotta take this. Bye.
CAROLINE: (ON PHONE) Oh. Hi there. I'm looking for the king of morons.
You found him. Thank you so much for calling me.
(GASPS)
It's empty! There! It's right there!
Get her, Luke! Get. Get. (WOMAN YELLS)
Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Fiona, OK?
I wasn't sure I wanted the job, and honestly, it didn't feel relevant.
(LUKE SCREAMS)
You can't leave me in the dark like that, alright?
That's not how a relationship works.
I should have handled this a million times better.
And I would really love to talk about this in person.
I don't see it! Come on!
As much as it pains me to do this right now given the...
gravity of the situation, I'm gonna have to call you back.
Seriously? I know, I'm the worst.
I was gone three minutes!
(SLOW-MO) Hang on boys, I'm coming!
(DRAMATIC, JAUNTY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
I got it!
I got it! BOTH: Yes!
Ha-ha! (OFFICER CLEARS THROAT)
What seems to be the problem, officer?
(JAIL CELL DOOR CLUNKING)
Boys, I need you. Susie, come on in.
Yeah, Mom? Come on, have a seat, guys.
I need to talk to you. Please, Taylor.
Yeah. I need you.
Coming. Thank you.
(SIGHS)
So after the other night's debacle, somehow, miraculously,
Susie has convinced her father...
..to join us again for dinner tonight.
So I wanna be very clear. We are gonna have a nice and normal dinner.
Do you understand me? Nice AND normal.
So...
..fake it?
Oh, I don't care.
Just get 'er done. Yeah, Mom.
Sus, Sus. Sus!
(SIGHS) Look.
I know that this week has been just one thing after another.
And I have gotten in my own way at every conceivable turn.
But tonight, I'm gonna mend things with your dad, I promise.
And then we can, you know,
we'll get back to just planning the wedding.
Stephan, you were in jail last night.
I don't suppose that changes my status to elite bad boy?
I love you and I... I absolutely want to marry you one day.
But this... This has just been a lot.
I think we should put a pin in the wedding planning for now,
and just get through Christmas.
Thank you so much for coming, Bob.
I know things can get a little heightened around here,
but this is lovely.
How have you been enjoying your stay?
Seattle, it's just beautiful at Christmas time.
Yeah, mostly just sitting around.
Not much I can do with this foot.
TAYLOR: How's that healing up there, Bob?
Slowly.
How's your head?
Nice. Normal.
Do you see the tree, Bob? Came together beautifully.
Oh, right. Yeah, the one you chopped down.
Ah... Did you bring Jerry?
Uh, no. Jerry hasn't really been himself since the incident,
so I left him behind at the hotel.
You know, where it's safe.
Dad was in jail last night.
(EVERYONE TALKING OVER EACH OTHER)
And Uncle Stephan and Uncle Taylor were there, too.
Yeah, so I've heard.
If this week is any indication on how the wedding is going to go...
Well, you don't have to worry about it, Bob,
because the wedding is on pause.
Oh. You know, that's probably for the best.
You know what, Bob? Ma.
You're new to this family, so I'll give you a break.
My sons, they love each other.
There's nothing they wouldn't do for each other.
Are they perfect? No, they're not perfect. Far from it.
Stephan loves your daughter more than anything in this world,
and he has fought all week to get your approval.
Look, so he doesn't forge drill bits
and chop down trees or befriend Cockatiels.
Stop listing things. But he has the biggest heart.
The kindest, most sincere, compassionate man I have ever known.
His heart is bigger than all of ours put together,
and the love that he has for Susie doesn't need your approval.
It should be embraced.
I don't know what more you could want for your daughter.
(GARBLES) That kind of love doesn't come along very often.
I know I've spent what feels like a lifetime looking for it.
We should be doing everything in our power to protect it,
not fight it.
If you don't like it here, OK, that's fine.
I-It's your loss, but don't stand between them.
Oh! Are you OK, Soph?
I think... Oh! OK, OK.
(ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER)
(SNORING LIGHTLY)
I brought some-some cookies if anyone's hungry.
Thanks, Daddy.
I owe you all an apology.
I've been unfair. Especially to you, Stephan, and I'm sorry.
Susie Bear.
You're my little girl and uh...
..I'm just having a really hard time sharing you.
I know how much you love her, and I know she feels the same.
And, Barbara, you're right.
That is all that matters.
I would be honoured to call you my son-in-law,
and-and to be part of this-this spirited family.
(CHUCKLES)
If you'll have me.
Um, maybe too soon. More of a handshake thing, yeah.
(BABIES CRYING)
We have... girls!
(GIGI GASPS) Oh, finally! Are you sure?
There's a way to tell. I'll explain later.
Wow, look. Meet your sisters, buddy.
Oh, Lukey, three looks good on you.
It feels good, Mom.
I think everything's gonna be just fine.
Yeah, three's the magic number.
Nothing like a trilogy to make people happy, am I right?
(LAUGHTER) You're right, doc, you're right.
Moments like these, they just don't get any more perfect than this.
Alright. Let's go check on your mom. Alright?
I love you guys. Love you, too.
Tell her well done. (LAUGHS)
Oh! Ah! TAYLOR: Love you.
Mom's right.
They don't.
Moments, they don't... They don't get any more perfect.
Sus, I have done nothing this week except get in my own way.
And I would like to spend the rest of my life
tr ying to prove to you that I'm more than that.
Marry me. Right now.
Marry me. This-this is as far out of my own way as I get.
You mean here, now? Yes!
Everybody we love is here right now.
There's a chapel here.
Sus, I don't want to spend one more day not being your husband.
Marry me. OK, yes! I'll marry you!
Oh, my goodness. (PHONE BUTTONS BEEPING)
(LINE RINGING) Hi. It's me. It's late.
I know I'm the worst, but it's an emergency.
Come to the hospital. I know you, you're not gonna wanna miss this.
(GASPS) Wait!
No, I can't... I can't get married without my dress.
Oh, I-I can get your dress.
I mean, I-I'm not gonna have a tux.
I haven't even begun to pick those out.
I got an idea.
Stephan, honey, honey. Who's going to marry you?
I think I can help with that.
What?
What are you doing here?!
Well, I got a text from the boys that there's twins.
They have twins!
LUKE: Hello. Hello.
There she is.
Sophie! I can't believe you are here.
Hello.
How did something so beautiful come from you?Someone so hideous.
Good to have you here, Roy.
Wow. I can't even speak.
Babe...
I should have done this on the day.
Happy...
I'm so sorry it's late.
..anniversary.
Luke, it's stunning.
It's an eternity ring. Five diamonds, one for each of us.
I love you so much.
Two babies and a ring. STEPHAN: Yeah!
And I love you, too!
Oh, there you are. I came as soon as I could.
Oh, wow. I know. Two fresh babies.
Healthy. He's getting married. My suit sucks.
Please, Come. Have a seat.
This can't wait. Um...
Life is happening at an alarming rate.
Faster than I know what to do with. But I do know one thing.
Someone like you does not happen to someone like me...
twice in a lifetime.
I think I've been afraid of change my entire life.
Clearly, I live in my mother's basement.
I don't want to be afraid anymore.
See...
when all this madness is over...
..will you... Yeah?
..move to San Francisco with me?
I want to start a life together. The one we've always talked about.
I was never unsure about you.
I just didn't know if I could do it...
..without them.
And look, I'm gonna continue to fail and implode in a spectacular fashion
cos that's just who I am.
But I would love it if you were there with me by my side.
I will never leave you in the dark again.
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I want the dog.
I want the kitchen that we're never gonna cook in.
Sure, I'll take the job. Why not? I'll take the dreams.
Most of all, I just want... you.
Taylor, I-I can't...
I can't wait to do all of these things with you.
Oh, my goodness.
(ALL CHEER)
OK. Dummy.
Let's get you married.
(ROMANTIC STRING MUSIC)
(MUSIC CONTINUES)
I love you.
(MUSIC ENDS)
Dearly beloved and...
various hospital staff.
Thank you. OK.
With this ring, I thee wed.
(EXHALES)
It's heavy.
With this ring...
..I thee wed.
By the power vested in me,
I pronounce you husband and wife.
You may now kiss the bride.
Nah.
(WONDROUS ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
WOMAN: Woo-hoo!
Merry Christmas, nerds. (CHUCKLES)
Look!
A Mighty Mech. Thank you, Santa!
Did you do this? No. No. Did you?
This is truly the best Christmas ever.
Ever!
