Are you guys not a sight for sore eyes?

Hi! Aurora, look at you.

34
00:01:44,562 --> 00:01:46,606
You are all grown up. What happened?

35
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:48,650
- It happens.
- (Aurora, Isaiah laughing)

36
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:50,568
You were so awesome,
Uncle Isaiah, seriously.

37
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,463
- Oh, thank you.
- Honestly, you've still got it,

38
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:54,247
- little brother.
- Ah, thanks. Thanks, Jess.

- No. Come on.

Jess: Don't say that. You know what?

42
00:02:00,578 --> 00:02:02,539
You just performed in a
one-man Christmas musical

all written, directed,
and produced by you.

44

Be proud of that.

00:02:06,376 --> 00:02:08,211
Nobody showed up.

46
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:11,131
It was you two and one
other person, okay?

47
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:13,150
I don't know. I thought
a political reindeer message

48
00:02:13,174 --> 00:02:14,300
would resonate. Right?

49
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:16,803
Like Hamilton, but Christmas.

50
00:02:16,886 --> 00:02:19,597
Am I crazy? That sounds
commercial, right?

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,759
- For sure.
- Aurora: Mm-hmm.

52
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:22,392
Yeah. Whatever.

53
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:24,185
It wasn't that much work.

54
00:02:24,227 --> 00:02:27,355
I just wrote the script for, uh... for a year,

55
00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:28,541
and I designed all the costumes.

56
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:30,191
And I designed the choreography,

57
00:02:30,233 --> 00:02:31,901
and I rented out the theatre.

58
00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:33,629
And I sent letters to every
agent, casting director,

59
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:35,172
and director in the state of New York,

60
00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:37,407
hoping that they would come.

61
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:40,618
Well, after three years of
not really seeing each other,

62
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:42,340
we thought it was
important for us to come.

63
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,372
Three years? It hasn't been three years.

64
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:48,042
Yeah. Three years
and six months, actually.

Jess: But we know how tough it
is to find time at Christmas

66
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:51,564
- because of your caroling gigs.
- Right. Yeah.

67
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:53,673
And well, maybe this is the Christmas

68
00:02:53,756 --> 00:02:56,426
that you come upstate and stay with us?

69
00:02:58,011 --> 00:03:00,346
What do you say? Oh, come on.

70
00:03:00,388 --> 00:03:02,807
It'll give you time to relax, breathe.

71
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:06,227
Just take a break from
the concrete jungle.

to celebrate your show tonight.

75

It's... it's nothing, really.

76
00:03:16,654 --> 00:03:18,448
What? This is not nothing! Look at that!

77
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:20,450
- Jess: I know.
- It's me with antlers.

78

Oh, my... You're amazing. Thank you.

called Glitter and Grace.

180
00:07:12,014 --> 00:07:13,307
Hey. I'm Isaiah.

181
00:07:13,391 --> 00:07:14,851
Hey. Hal.

182
00:07:14,892 --> 00:07:16,853
Whoa. Whoa. That's a...

183
00:07:16,894 --> 00:07:19,147
That is a firm grip you have there, Hal.

184
00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:21,774
That's a cute, uh... thing.

185
00:07:21,899 --> 00:07:25,236
Yeah. It's, uh... It's
my Christmas sweat set.

186
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:26,463
Alright. Well, I'll just,
uh... I've leave you...

187
00:07:26,487 --> 00:07:27,572
- Okay. Whoa!
- Whoa. Whoa.

188
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:29,407
Careful.

189
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:30,908
- I'm good.
- Okay.

190
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:32,618
You're good. Okay. Bye. See you later.

191
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:33,953
Bye, Hal.

192
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:35,036
See you, Hal.

193
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:37,873
Shall we?

194
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:43,463
Oh, your house always smells so
good around the holidays.

195
00:07:43,504 --> 00:07:45,506
- What is all this stuff?
- Thank you.

196
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,967
Well, they're candles in teacups.

197
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:49,969
- Yeah. I can see that.
- Mm-hmm.

198
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:51,697
You think you're... You think
you're taking your hobby

199
00:07:51,721 --> 00:07:53,264
- a little too far?
- It's not a hobby.

200
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:54,515
It's actually a business,

201
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:55,826
and are you really here for Christmas?

202
00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:57,977
Uh, barring any last-minute auditions,

203
00:07:58,060 --> 00:07:59,770
I am planning to stay.

204
00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:02,064
Really? Well, that's great.
Uh, what time is it?

205
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,066
I have to pick Aurora
up from school right away.

206
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:05,776
How is she doing, anyway?

207
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:07,463
She's been going through a
lot since the divorce.

208
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,238
- Like what?
- You know,

209
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,324
she just spends a lot of time by herself.

210
00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:14,494
She used to be so fun and so outgoing.

211
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:17,015
If you had been around more, you
would have noticed the change.

212
00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:20,249
Uh, it's just,

213
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,959
we've missed you, is all.

214
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:24,337
I miss you, too.

215
00:08:24,378 --> 00:08:25,856
How about this? How about
I go pick her up from school?

216
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,274
Okay. I mean, it would really, really help.

217
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:28,483
Yeah. Sure. Can I... I just need your car.

218
00:08:28,507 --> 00:08:29,800
- Okay.
- And the keys.

219
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,719
- Yeah.
- And the name of the school

220
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:33,113
and the address, and I'm going
to take one more of these.

221
00:08:33,137 --> 00:08:34,156
- And I'll get her. Okay.
- I can... Well...

00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,556

00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:48,361
Got a name?

Isaiah Heyward.

231
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:52,657
Why are you here, Isaiah Heyward,

232
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,201
if that is your real name?

233
00:08:55,284 --> 00:08:58,037
I am picking up my niece, Aurora Peralta.

234
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,455
How do I know she's your niece?

235
00:08:59,538 --> 00:09:00,831
Do you do this to everybody?

- Okay.

00:09:04,502 --> 00:09:07,213
Sandra, is... is something wrong?

239
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:09,632
Sandra: Friend-o says
he's here to pick up his niece

240
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:11,717
with no proof he even knows her.

241
00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:14,095
Okay. Aurora is a Virgo.

242
00:09:14,178 --> 00:09:16,764
She is wicked smart.
She sketches like a pro.

243
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:18,283
Her mother's my sister.
She called ahead.

244
00:09:18,307 --> 00:09:20,851
I'm convinced.

245
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:22,853
I'm Isaiah Heyward, by the way.

246
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:24,456
Miss Brigente. Where
are you visiting from?

247
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,773
Uh, the city.

248
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:27,525
Oh. What do you do in the city?

249
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:29,110
Well, I'm on Broadway.

250
00:09:29,193 --> 00:09:30,820
What show?

251
00:09:30,861 --> 00:09:31,988
I'm not currently in a show.

252
00:09:32,029 --> 00:09:33,072
In between things.

253
00:09:33,155 --> 00:09:33,948
Code for unemployed. Got it.

254
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:35,741
Well...

255
00:09:35,783 --> 00:09:37,118
Mrs. Bedford?

256
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,540
- That doesn't look good.
- Oh, dear.

257
00:09:42,581 --> 00:09:46,419
(students all cross talking)

258
00:09:46,502 --> 00:09:48,045
Lilly-Anne: Hey, hey, hey, hey!

259
00:09:48,129 --> 00:09:49,839
Everybody, settle down!

260
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,383
Settle down. We're going
to figure this out.

261
00:09:52,466 --> 00:09:54,427
- Uncle Isaiah?
- Hey.

262
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:56,304
What are you doing? Is everything okay?

263
00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:57,864
Yeah, yeah. Your mom sent me to
pick you up. So, surprise!

264
00:09:57,888 --> 00:09:59,640
Where did Mrs. Bedford go?

265
00:09:59,765 --> 00:10:00,826
She just passed me in the hallway.

266
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,853
Apparently, the show's over.

267
00:10:03,894 --> 00:10:05,646
The... the Christmas
show? What do you mean?

268
00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:07,273
She's in love with some lumberjack.

269
00:10:07,356 --> 00:10:08,816
Met him online.

270
00:10:08,858 --> 00:10:10,860
(Isaiah snorting)

271
00:10:10,901 --> 00:10:14,447
I can assure you there's nothing
funny in this situation.

272
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:16,407
I'm sorry. It's, uh, lumberjacks.

273
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:17,926
- They're... they're funny.
- Aurora: It's serious, okay?

274
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:20,870
No director means we have no show.

275
00:10:20,911 --> 00:10:22,580
I... What are we supposed to do now?

276
00:10:22,621 --> 00:10:24,165
Oh. This is a disaster.

277
00:10:24,248 --> 00:10:25,888
Good luck with that, guys.
Okay. Let's go.

278
00:10:27,626 --> 00:10:28,669
You can direct our show.

279
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:31,606
You could save our Christmas musical.

280
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:33,424
I'm sorry. What?

281
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:34,985
- Miss Brigente?
- No, no. What are you doing?

282
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:36,653
- Yes, Aurora?
- What are you doing? No, no.

283
00:10:36,677 --> 00:10:38,614
Every year, this show makes
a lot of people happy,

284
00:10:38,638 --> 00:10:42,391
including me, because it
reminds me of you.

285
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:44,411
Look. All we need is someone
to step up as director.

286
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:46,437
Uncle Isaiah, you're that someone.

287
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:48,498
I don't know anything about
directing high school musicals,

288
00:10:48,522 --> 00:10:50,107
- Aurora!
- I'm sure you probably do.

289
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:52,443
Maybe my uncle can step in as director?

290
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:54,236
- He's very unemployed, so...
- Okay.

291
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,505
He has a lot of time on his hands and...

292
00:10:55,529 --> 00:10:57,740
I'm... Well, that's... No.

293
00:10:57,865 --> 00:11:00,159
I'm... I'm more in between
projects at the moment, okay?

294
00:11:00,242 --> 00:11:01,386
Grab your things. We need to go.

295
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:02,870
Are you a director?

296
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:06,832
I wear a lot of hats.

297
00:11:06,874 --> 00:11:10,002
Uh, actor, writer, producer.

298
00:11:10,127 --> 00:11:11,855
Uh, just directed a
show off Broadway, actually.

299
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,924
Off-off-off Broadway.

300
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:16,926
(students whispering)

301
00:11:16,967 --> 00:11:18,761
What do you say, Mr. Heyward?

302
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:21,722
It wouldn't be Christmas
at Archer Academy

303
00:11:21,764 --> 00:11:23,766
without our annual Christmas show.

304
00:11:23,891 --> 00:11:26,519
Exactly. This can work, right?

305
00:11:26,602 --> 00:11:28,687
- Students: Yes.
- Isaiah: Uh, okay. Well, uh...

306
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:32,274
Maybe it'll make up for some lost time.

307
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:34,902
(Isaiah chuckling
uncomfortably, stammering)

308
00:11:34,944 --> 00:11:36,946
Wow. Look at all your faces. Um...

309
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:40,741
Please, Uncle Isaiah.

310
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:44,995
I suppose I am currently available.

311
00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:46,872
- (chuckling) Uh...
- (students cheering)

312
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,499
- Yes!
- Lilly-Anne: Alright.

313
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:51,127
Well, there's just one
last hurdle to jump over,

314
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,712
and that is getting Principal Ott on board.

315
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:55,506
I should warn you now.

316
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,967
He's a really tough nut to crack.

317
00:11:58,092 --> 00:12:05,766
♪

318
00:12:05,808 --> 00:12:09,145
I loved you in I See You.

319
00:12:09,186 --> 00:12:11,397
You were wonderful in that musical.

320
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:12,773
You saw me in that?

321
00:12:12,815 --> 00:12:15,192
Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much.

322
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,987
You know, it's funny. When
we were recording the OBCR, I...

323
00:12:18,028 --> 00:12:19,172
Um, do you mind if we
move this? It's kind of...

324
00:12:19,196 --> 00:12:20,948
Sure.

325
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:21,949
The, uh... the original
Broadway cast recording.

326
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:24,577
- Yes.
- There were budget issues,

327
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:25,911
and so what we decided to do...

328
00:12:25,953 --> 00:12:27,538
Uh, sorry. Sorry to interrupt.

329
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,665
- These stories are fascinating.
- Yeah.

330
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,418
Uh, but do you mind if
we get back to business?

331
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:34,061
I have a college fair to get ready for.

332
00:12:36,005 --> 00:12:38,174
Sure. Yes. (Laughing)

333
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:41,469
You are interested in
directing our Christmas show.

334
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:43,155
And he will need to complete
a background check,

335
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:45,014
pending your approval, of course.

336
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:47,224
Ah, a background check
is just a formality,

337
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:49,143
and how could I not give my approval?

338
00:12:49,226 --> 00:12:52,605
We... we have a bona fide
Broadway star in our presence.

339
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:53,981
- Oh, stop. Stop it.
- Oh.

340
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:56,400
- Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
- Please, stop.

341
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:59,361
Uh, but Mr. Heyward
will need a staff supervisor.

342
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:01,363
I trust you're willing to help.

343
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:03,866
Uh, yeah. Yes. Of course.

344
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,993
- Great.
- Anything for the kids. Yep.

345
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,995
- (Ott laughing)
- That's my motto.

346
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:10,080
Oh. (Laughing)

347
00:13:10,122 --> 00:13:13,083
- I guess I got the gig.
- (laughing) Yes, you do.

348
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:14,561
Yeah. I guess you can
call me the nutcracker.

349
00:13:14,585 --> 00:13:16,003
(Isaiah and Ott laughing)

350
00:13:16,045 --> 00:13:17,379
Well, you know, what can I say?

351
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:18,506
I am good in a room.

352
00:13:18,547 --> 00:13:19,924
Pajamas and all.

353
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:22,009
It's a sweat set.

354
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:24,070
You know, if you were able to
win over Principal Ott,

355
00:13:24,094 --> 00:13:26,597
then maybe you do have what it takes

356
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,224
to create another miracle

357
00:13:28,265 --> 00:13:31,310
and mount a Christmas show
in three weeks.

358
00:13:31,352 --> 00:13:35,064
I will take that as a vote
of confidence, Miss Brigente.

359
00:13:35,105 --> 00:13:36,857
Please, call me Lilly-Anne,

360
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:39,026
now that we're in this mess together.

361
00:13:39,068 --> 00:13:40,569
(Isaiah chuckling)

362
00:13:40,611 --> 00:13:42,404
Lilly-Anne it is.

363
00:13:42,488 --> 00:13:45,115
Oh, I almost forgot.

364
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,284
Mrs. Bedford didn't finish
writing the second act.

365
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:49,328
Ah. Well, that makes sense.

366
00:13:49,411 --> 00:13:50,472
Lumberjacks, they're so distracting.

367
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:52,498
Yes, what with all the... the plaid

368
00:13:52,581 --> 00:13:54,625
and the lumberjack-ing.

369
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:55,811
- Right. Lumberjack-ing.
- Yeah.

370
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:58,128
- Yeah.
- Uh, do you think

371
00:13:58,212 --> 00:13:59,856
you'll be able to finish writing the script

372
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,048
on top of directing?

373
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,134
Oh, yeah. Yeah. For s...

374
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:05,553
- Yeah?
- Easy.

375
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:06,512
- Great.
- Totally.

376
00:14:06,595 --> 00:14:07,805
- Okay.
- No problem.

377
00:14:07,846 --> 00:14:08,889
(Lilly-Anne chuckling)

378
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:17,314
Wait. The show is called
Randolph the Christmas Elk?

379
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:19,608
- Randolph the Christmas Elk.
- Isaiah: Mm-hmm.

380
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,318
Yeah. It's catchy.

381
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,112
Um, when does the show open?

382
00:14:23,153 --> 00:14:24,697
Oh, on Christmas Eve, of course,

383
00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:26,365
which is three weeks away.

384
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:30,327
Okay. So, how did all
this candle stuff begin?

385
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:32,955
I started making candles
as a hobby after the divorce,

386
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,874
and they did so well
at the farmers' markets

387
00:14:34,915 --> 00:14:36,434
that Aurora helped me build a website.

388
00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:40,129
Yeah. So, these are
Christmas wish candles.

389
00:14:40,170 --> 00:14:41,773
You make a wish when you
light the candle,

390
00:14:41,797 --> 00:14:43,257
and when they're all gone,

391
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:45,301
you share a cup of tea with a friend.

392
00:14:45,342 --> 00:14:47,094
And here, this one's for you.

393
00:14:47,136 --> 00:14:48,136
Make your wish count.

394
00:14:49,638 --> 00:14:51,140
Thank you.

395
00:14:51,181 --> 00:14:52,266
I'm really proud of you.

396
00:14:52,308 --> 00:14:53,684
Thanks.

397
00:14:55,185 --> 00:14:57,187
Isaiah: Mmm.

398
00:14:57,271 --> 00:14:59,148
Oh, my goodness.
What do we have here?

399
00:14:59,189 --> 00:15:01,567
White chocolate Christmas eggnog
is what we got going on.

400
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,110
- Yep.
- It's very good.

401
00:15:03,152 --> 00:15:05,362
It is a family-friendly
holiday eggnog recipe

402
00:15:05,404 --> 00:15:07,156
that Hal introduced.

403
00:15:07,197 --> 00:15:09,241
Hal, like, across
the street neighbour Hal?

404
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:11,094
- He's the one!
- He has the best hot cocoa cart

405
00:15:11,118 --> 00:15:12,828
- at Christmastime.
- I am so thankful

406
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:14,806
he lives across the street. I'm
going to need a lot of sugar

407
00:15:14,830 --> 00:15:15,998
to put this show on its feet.

408
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:17,309
Yeah. Seems like you have a lot to tackle

409
00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:19,460
in the next 21 days.

410
00:15:19,543 --> 00:15:21,921
No. It's just writing the end
of a musical and casting it

411
00:15:21,962 --> 00:15:25,382
and directing it and putting
some reindeer choreo in there.

412
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:29,178
It sounds like you,
uh, might need an assistant.

413
00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,889
Ah-ha-ha. Ah-ha-ha-ha. That's
a very good idea, Jess.

414
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,224
Yes. Someone to, uh, run
rehearsal when I'm not there.

415
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:35,100
- That's right.
- Someone who's reliable.

416
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:37,019
- Jess: Mm-hmm.
- And smart.

417
00:15:37,144 --> 00:15:39,184
- To keep you grounded.
- Yeah. Calm under pressure.

418
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:43,692
Who? Me?

419
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:45,110
Isaiah: Mm-hmm.

420
00:15:45,152 --> 00:15:46,779
- Oh, come on, honey.
- No.

421
00:15:46,862 --> 00:15:48,840
Come on. You will be great.
If this is my first time

422
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:50,699
directing a high school show,

423
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:51,927
why can't this be your first time

424
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,071
being an assistant director?

425
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:55,704
- Okay.
- Alright!

426
00:15:55,746 --> 00:15:57,331
- Yay!
- I'll try.

427
00:15:57,414 --> 00:15:58,207
- What could go wrong?
- Jess: Yeah.

Your background check said
that you graduated from NYU.

454
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:52,029
- How was it?
- Oh, it was amazing,

455
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:53,489
amazing, exciting, scary.

456
00:17:53,530 --> 00:17:55,657
Best city in the world.

457
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,218
You know, Hancock
is pretty charming, too,

458
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,536
especially around Christmastime.

459
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:02,122
I've really enjoyed making it my home.

460
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:04,541
Yeah? How long have you been here?

461
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:07,377
Two years. I left Boston
to come to Archer Academy.

462
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:10,088
Boston? That's a leap. Why?

463
00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:11,507
Well, I was dean of students

464
00:18:11,548 --> 00:18:13,759
at a very expensive private school,

465
00:18:13,801 --> 00:18:16,095
and I spent more time
wrangling the rich parents

466
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:19,139
than working with the kids.
And I missed the kids.

467
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:21,183
Do you have kids? Husband? Family?

468
00:18:21,308 --> 00:18:24,728
No. No. I was serious
with someone once.

469
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:26,939
He loved the spotlight.
He was a law student,

470
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:29,566
life of the party type.
It was fun for a while, but...

471
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:31,902
But?

472
00:18:31,985 --> 00:18:35,906
But his number one priority
was landing at a big law firm,

473
00:18:35,948 --> 00:18:39,159
and, uh, I became less of
a priority, I guess.

474
00:18:39,201 --> 00:18:42,329
Ah. Well, he sounds like
a fool, if you ask me.

475
00:18:42,371 --> 00:18:45,332
Well, if he wasn't, I wouldn't be here,

476
00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:47,626
showing you 40-year-old flats.

477
00:18:47,709 --> 00:18:50,128
Forty? Yeah. More like, uh

478
00:18:50,170 --> 00:18:52,923
more like 50, 60. (Laughing)

479
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:54,842
Wow. Wow. What is that?

480
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:58,804
Lilly-Anne: This is
our homemade snow machine!

481
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:00,597
Homemade?

482
00:19:00,681 --> 00:19:03,100
Yeah. It's never really worked.

483
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,393
I don't know. Using this thing

484
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:06,144
is like using a broken pencil.

485
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:08,188
- Huh.
- Pointless.

486
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:09,731
That is very pun-y, Miss Brigente.

487
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:11,441
Very pun-y.

488
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,086
Well, I appreciate you
showing me around.

489
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:14,611
- Yeah.
- Mm.

490
00:19:14,653 --> 00:19:17,990
So, um, since this is your first rehearsal,

491
00:19:18,073 --> 00:19:20,826
I've got to ask.

492
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:22,369
What's your plan?

493
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:23,745
- Plan?
- Mm.

494
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:25,455
(chuckling)

495
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,916
Um, I haven't gotten that far yet.

496
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,418
Concept of a plan?

497
00:19:29,459 --> 00:19:31,670
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

498
00:19:31,753 --> 00:19:33,022
Just haven't... haven't
fully fleshed it out yet,

499
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:34,381
but it's getting there.

500
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:37,467
Well, I know this isn't Broadway.

501
00:19:37,551 --> 00:19:38,991
- Mm-hmm.
- But these kids do deserve

502
00:19:39,052 --> 00:19:41,430
your very best.

503
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:43,849
They deserve our very best, right?

504
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:45,225
We are doing this together.

505
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:48,395
Yes, and the one thing

506
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:51,899
we don't have is time.

507
00:19:51,982 --> 00:19:55,444
Or a set or a money or a
cast or a second act,

508
00:19:55,485 --> 00:19:58,447
but I know theatre. We have me.

509
00:19:58,488 --> 00:20:00,657
You know kids. We have you.

510
00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:01,950
What could go wrong?

511
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:04,661
This script is brutal.

512
00:20:04,703 --> 00:20:06,705
It doesn't even have a second act.

513
00:20:06,788 --> 00:20:08,508
- I'm working on it.
- Travis: Well, I mean,

514
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:10,667
Coach says preparation
is the key to success, so...

515
00:20:10,751 --> 00:20:12,020
Yeah? Okay. Well,
maybe Coach can direct

516
00:20:12,044 --> 00:20:13,921
the next musical.

517
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:15,231
Gregory: How are we going
to rehearse the show

518
00:20:15,255 --> 00:20:17,507
- with no final act?
- Yeah.

519
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:19,218
And who's going to be playing piano?

520
00:20:19,259 --> 00:20:20,636
Travis: And is Randolph the lead?

521
00:20:20,677 --> 00:20:23,096
And also, who is this
ensemble character?

522
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,300
- I keep seeing them.
- Let's count the lines and see.

523
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:28,435
My name is Emma Fitzpatrick,

524
00:20:28,477 --> 00:20:30,145
and I would make the perfect Randolph.

525
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:31,730
Alright, uh, Emma Fitzpatrick.

526
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:33,583
Thank you for your, uh...
for your confidence.

527
00:20:33,607 --> 00:20:35,275
We're going to have auditions.

528
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,694
W-What if we just want ensemble?

529
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:39,488
- And what's your name?
- Miranda Santos.

530
00:20:39,529 --> 00:20:41,281
- (camera snapping)
- Well, Miranda Santos,

531
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:43,784
I will take that into consideration.

532
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:45,907
- Are we going to wear hooves?
- Uh, probably. Yeah.

533
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:47,805
I don't know what the
costume budget is yet, but...

534
00:20:47,829 --> 00:20:49,669
- Um, I want small hooves.
- I want big hooves.

535
00:20:49,706 --> 00:20:50,975
- Sparkly hooves!
- Isaiah: Okay.

536
00:20:50,999 --> 00:20:52,542
What are you?

537
00:20:52,668 --> 00:20:54,503
There's no such thing as sparkly hooves.

538
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:56,147
- Emma: Yes, there is.
- Um, hey! Hey, guys!

539
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:57,714
(students all cross talking)

540
00:20:57,756 --> 00:20:59,400
(calling out) Can we quiet
down and listen, please?

541
00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:00,717
(students all cross talking)

542
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:02,177
- (air horn blowing)
- Oh!

543
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:03,580
- Whoa!
- Lilly-Anne: Are we done?

544
00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:07,766
The pages for the second act

545
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:11,353
will be finished in time
for the auditions, tomorrow,

546
00:21:11,478 --> 00:21:13,313
so I suggest that you prepare

547
00:21:13,438 --> 00:21:17,109
something from the first act, tonight.

548
00:21:17,192 --> 00:21:19,736
Focus your energy on that.

549
00:21:19,778 --> 00:21:22,280
Mr. Heyward and I look forward
to seeing what you come up with.

550
00:21:23,865 --> 00:21:25,492
Yeah.

551
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:27,327
Lilly-Anne: Good luck.

552
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,745
Isaiah: Break a leg.

553
00:21:28,787 --> 00:21:30,330
(students murmuring)

554
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,749
- (school bell ringing)
- Tomorrow.

555
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:38,755
♪

556
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:40,882
Isaiah: Pages by
tomorrow. Are you crazy?

557
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,509
They could sense your fear.

558
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:44,070
I had to do something to reassure them.

559
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:46,680
I can't write an entire second
act in one night!

560
00:21:46,763 --> 00:21:48,283
Well, it doesn't have to be the whole act,

561
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:49,725
but you need to do something.

562
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:51,560
You know, you really
should be more prepared.

563
00:21:51,601 --> 00:21:53,562
You know what?
Maybe this was a mistake.

564
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:54,980
This was way more work than I...

565
00:21:55,022 --> 00:21:56,582
They're having auditions
for the show soon.

566
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:57,899
Oh. Well, you're a good dancer.

567
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:00,569
Maybe they're looking for dancers.

568
00:22:00,610 --> 00:22:02,154
- That is Cindy Santos.
- (unclear).

569
00:22:02,237 --> 00:22:03,530
We got to get going. Let's go.

570
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:05,198
Yeah, that's Miranda's
mom. You know her?

571
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:07,002
Yep. I'll see you
tomorrow. Uh, Miss Santos!

572
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:08,827
Miss Santos! Hi. Hi.

573
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:10,579
- Cindy: Hi.
- I'm Isaiah Heyward.

574
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:11,371
I'm the director of the Christmas show.

575
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:13,248
Oh. Nice to meet you.

576
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,834
- First of all, I'm a big fan.
- Great.

577
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:18,295
Yeah. I went to audition
for your show the other day.

578
00:22:18,336 --> 00:22:20,297
I... I didn't get to. I got cut short.

579
00:22:20,338 --> 00:22:22,841
Ah, yes. The open call.

580
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:23,924
Yeah.

581
00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:28,614
Well, uh, I look forward to
seeing the Christmas production.

582
00:22:28,638 --> 00:22:30,265
Yeah. Hey, hey, hey.

583
00:22:30,348 --> 00:22:33,935
Um, this might be coming out of left field.

584
00:22:34,019 --> 00:22:37,939
Maybe I could find a time
to audition for it. Callbacks?

585
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:39,625
Tell you what. Why don't
you contact my office?

586
00:22:39,649 --> 00:22:40,918
And if you're in another production,

587
00:22:40,942 --> 00:22:42,319
I will make sure to see it.

588
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:44,363
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. Wonderful.

589
00:22:44,404 --> 00:22:45,798
Okay. I got to get going. Let's go.

590
00:22:45,822 --> 00:22:47,032
Oh. Nice to meet you!

591
00:22:47,115 --> 00:22:48,533
Merry Christmas!

592
00:22:52,579 --> 00:22:53,699
Hey. You ready to head home?

593
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:57,042
Yeah.

594
00:22:58,335 --> 00:22:59,669
You know Miranda's mom?

595
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:01,963
Um, no, not personally.

596
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,327
She's just one of the top
producers on Broadway right now.

597
00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:08,386
Are you done?

598
00:23:12,974 --> 00:23:15,435
Uh-oh. I know that look.

599
00:23:15,477 --> 00:23:16,746
- What... what look?
- That one right there.

600
00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:18,122
It makes me as nervous as a snowflake

601
00:23:18,146 --> 00:23:19,940
in a room full of space heaters.

602
00:23:20,023 --> 00:23:22,275
What is going on inside
that head of yours?

603
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,693
I think I might have figured out

604
00:23:23,777 --> 00:23:25,421
how to audition for
Cindy Santos after all.

605
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:31,034
♪

606
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,078
Noah, my man. Hey, you said

607
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:34,847
they're still casting
Glitter and Grace, right?

608
00:23:34,871 --> 00:23:37,082
Right.

609
00:23:37,124 --> 00:23:39,668
Let's say I were to cast Miranda Santos

610
00:23:39,793 --> 00:23:40,937
in the show that I'm directing.

611
00:23:40,961 --> 00:23:43,213
Right.

612
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:45,882
Isaiah: And then let's also
say her mother, Cindy Santos,

613
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:47,610
were to come and watch
her daughter in the show

614
00:23:47,634 --> 00:23:50,512
- on Christmas Eve.
- Right.

615
00:23:50,637 --> 00:23:53,932
She would then see me crush it
as Randolph in the show.

616
00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:55,684
Noah: Wait. You're casting yourself

617
00:23:55,725 --> 00:23:57,686
in the lead role of a high school musical

618
00:23:57,727 --> 00:24:00,021
to impress Cindy Santos?

619
00:24:00,063 --> 00:24:01,874
Yeah. When you put it that
way, it sounds a little weird,

620
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:03,275
but come on, man.

621
00:24:03,358 --> 00:24:04,651
Come on. This could be it.

622
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:06,236
It's my chance to audition for Cindy,

623
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,630
get her to cast me, get my
career back on track.

624
00:24:07,654 --> 00:24:08,989
I thought you were taking a break

625
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:10,699
and just enjoying the holidays.

626
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:12,451
I am. I am. I am. But come on, man.

627
00:24:12,492 --> 00:24:13,812
Sometimes you got to get creative

628
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:15,745
to get in front of the creatives.

629
00:24:15,787 --> 00:24:17,140
How long you been rehearsing that line?

630
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,624
- A very long time now.
- Right.

631
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:20,876
Isaiah: What do you think?

632
00:24:20,917 --> 00:24:22,103
- (beeping)
- It's a good idea.

633
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:23,503
This guy.

634
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:28,216
Noah? Noah, you there?

635
00:24:30,635 --> 00:24:35,515
(Isaiah singing gibberish)

636
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,934
- Done!
- Done what?

637
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:39,936
The script, Randolph the Christmas Elk.

638
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:41,938
You finished so fast.

639
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,399
What, were you possessed by
the ghost of Stephen Sondheim?

640
00:24:44,482 --> 00:24:46,067
(laughing) I don't know what it was

641
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:47,360
you kids, the candles,

642
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:49,446
the Christmas spirit.

643
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:52,574
Uh, Uncle Isaiah, this
is stuff from your play.

644
00:24:52,616 --> 00:24:55,285
I know. I know. It... It's a
completely different context.

645
00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,470
I took out all the political allegories.

646
00:24:56,494 --> 00:24:58,538
Works seamlessly.

647
00:24:58,663 --> 00:25:00,999
You forgot to change the
character's name to Randolph.

648
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:03,251
Oh. That's okay. We'll figure it out.

649
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:07,047
Also, you know the walls
here are paper thin, right?

650
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:10,217
Um...

651
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,195
Oh, no. Did... did you hear my
conversation with Noah?

652
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:13,678
Yeah, the whole thing.

653
00:25:15,305 --> 00:25:17,474
Okay. Listen. I...

654
00:25:18,725 --> 00:25:20,977
As an assistant director,

655
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:23,313
it is my duty to help see
the director's vision through

656
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:24,981
and protect that vision,

657
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:26,691
no matter what.

658
00:25:26,733 --> 00:25:28,944
Huh?

659
00:25:28,985 --> 00:25:31,112
I've been researching a little.

660
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,948
Smart. Very smart.

661
00:25:32,989 --> 00:25:34,824
I want you to be happy,

662
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:36,511
and if that means getting
you back on Broadway,

663
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:37,887
- then I'm in.
- (sighing in relief)

664
00:25:37,911 --> 00:25:40,121
And also, with you as our lead,

665
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,207
it'll only make our show way better.

666
00:25:42,249 --> 00:25:45,043
Right? Yes! Exactly!

667
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:46,846
Thank you, Aurora. Thank
you. Hey, remember.

668
00:25:46,962 --> 00:25:48,314
If you want something bad enough...

669
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:49,005
- Mm-hmm.
- If you want it

670
00:25:49,089 --> 00:25:51,174
real, real bad,

671
00:25:51,258 --> 00:25:52,944
you have to grab the reins and
do it yourself, okay?

672
00:25:52,968 --> 00:25:53,968
Which means...

673
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,596
Means?

674
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:59,641
It means I have to make sure

675
00:25:59,766 --> 00:26:02,560
this is the best Christmas show

676
00:26:02,602 --> 00:26:05,146
that Cindy Santos has ever seen.

677
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:07,023
- Alright!
- It's going to be great.

678
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,525
Nothing's getting in my way, Aurora!

679
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,151
Keep studying, baby!

680
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:12,028
I'm headed back to
the school! Whoo-hoo!

681
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:16,366
Lilly-Anne, so happy I got you.

682
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:17,826
What's this?

683
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:19,577
It's an early Christmas present

684
00:26:19,619 --> 00:26:22,038
the rehearsal schedule, set
build, show budget,

685
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,250
and a finished script.

686
00:26:25,292 --> 00:26:26,585
Wow. Impressive.

687
00:26:26,626 --> 00:26:28,128
Thank you. Yeah. It was hard.

688
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:30,046
It was... It was very hard. You were right,

689
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,799
but I am determined to
make this a phenomenal musical.

690
00:26:35,802 --> 00:26:37,095
Oh, that's cute.

691
00:26:37,178 --> 00:26:39,014
What's that? Reindeer or elk?

692
00:26:39,055 --> 00:26:40,890
- Elk from now on!
- Uh-huh.

693
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:42,601
It's not Michelangelo,

694
00:26:42,642 --> 00:26:45,186
but, well, he makes me happy.

695
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,730
Well, he will be our lucky charm.

696
00:26:48,315 --> 00:26:50,650
Hey, enjoy that.

697
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:52,128
It's really good, like, really good.

698
00:26:52,152 --> 00:26:53,486
(Lilly-Anne chuckling)

699
00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:56,781
(Isaiah loudly singing gibberish)

700
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:05,707
Isaiah: Merry Merry
Maple Mocha for the win.

701
00:27:05,832 --> 00:27:07,018
See? I told you Hal's the best.

702
00:27:07,042 --> 00:27:09,002
Isaiah: Mm-hmm.

703
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:11,504
- Hey, can I ask you something?
- Mm-hmm.

704
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:13,750
What made you think I'd
be good at directing the show?

705
00:27:15,675 --> 00:27:17,611
Remember when you used
to visit us every Christmas?

706
00:27:17,635 --> 00:27:20,138
- Mm-hmm.
- And after dinner,

707
00:27:20,221 --> 00:27:21,848
you'd act out those stories.

708
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,250
I can't believe you remember that.

709
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:24,976
How could I not? I mean,

710
00:27:25,101 --> 00:27:28,021
they're only the best
Christmas memories ever.

711
00:27:28,104 --> 00:27:30,231
I thought if you could make
me feel that way,

712
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:31,584
you could probably make the
others feel the same

713
00:27:31,608 --> 00:27:33,401
by directing them.

714
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:35,278
I appreciate that.

715
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,072
I really do.

716
00:27:37,113 --> 00:27:38,823
I'm really glad you're here, Uncle Isaiah.

717
00:27:40,325 --> 00:27:42,869
Me too.

718
00:27:42,911 --> 00:27:44,996
(car horn honking)

719
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,748
- Ready for these auditions?
- Oh, yeah.

720
00:27:46,873 --> 00:27:48,476
Casting the right talent can
make or break a show.

721
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:50,353
- (school bell ringing)
- It's just as important

722
00:27:50,377 --> 00:27:51,461
as the script itself.

723
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:52,879
Uh, speaking of which,

724
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:54,673
I just read through the script.

725
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:57,384
- And?
- And I think it could use a...

726
00:27:57,467 --> 00:27:58,510
- Little punch-up?
- No.

727
00:27:58,635 --> 00:28:00,470
- Some tweaks?
- Not exactly.

728
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:01,888
A little massage?

729
00:28:01,930 --> 00:28:03,473
- A total rewrite.
- That's harsh.

730
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,475
It's just that the second
act doesn't resolve

731
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:07,268
anything that was set up in the first.

732
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:09,688
It... It's almost like two different scripts

733
00:28:09,729 --> 00:28:12,107
were just jammed together.

734
00:28:12,148 --> 00:28:13,900
- Really?
- Yeah.

735
00:28:13,942 --> 00:28:17,237
- That's weird.
- Mm. Do you want some help?

736
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,465
I... I have some ideas that
I think might make it better.

737
00:28:19,489 --> 00:28:20,949
I'm good. I'm good.

738
00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:22,575
The script is great.

739
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:25,787
I... I think you might be
overthinking things.

740
00:28:25,912 --> 00:28:27,872
As long as the kids crush it,

741
00:28:27,914 --> 00:28:29,708
people will go crazy.

742
00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:31,668

He doesn't have many friends.

834
00:32:05,715 --> 00:32:07,425
He's constantly in trouble.

835
00:32:07,508 --> 00:32:10,011
It's probably his way of getting attention.

As a director, it is my job to
protect the performers,

840
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:22,190
even in an audition.

841
00:32:22,231 --> 00:32:23,983

I do not think that's a good idea.

847
00:32:36,412 --> 00:32:39,165
Well, you just said that
everyone deserves to be heard.

848
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:41,918
Maybe being on a stage is
exactly what Stephen needs.

849
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,753
We don't even know if he can sing.

850

need more male vocalists.

Okay. You may have a point.

He's probably crying out for
purpose in his life.

854
00:32:57,225 --> 00:32:59,394
Well, theatre can give him that purpose

855
00:32:59,435 --> 00:33:01,229
and a sense of community.

856
00:33:01,270 --> 00:33:03,147

Well, Miss Brigente, a
very good explanation for that.

performers like ourselves

It's like two different
stories smashed together.

958
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:35,253
Yeah. Why does Randolph
start a filibuster

959
00:37:35,294 --> 00:37:37,255
on the floor of Congress
in the second act?

960
00:37:37,296 --> 00:37:39,107
Well, nothing says Christmas
like a good filibuster, right?

961
00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:40,925
- Oh.
- Students: No.

962
00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:42,927
Okay. Maybe...
maybe there's no Congress,

963
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:45,221
and definitely no filibuster.

964
00:37:45,262 --> 00:37:48,349
Maybe Randolph just wants the reindeer

965
00:37:48,474 --> 00:37:50,559
to see his point of view on flying school.

966
00:37:50,685 --> 00:37:52,561
It can be very difficult to fit in

967
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:55,147

times everyone's size, right?

00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:47,004
What I did was what I was.

1064
00:41:47,087 --> 00:41:49,465
Auditions, workshop, gigs, lessons.

1065
00:41:51,717 --> 00:41:53,510
I didn't have time for anything but work.

1066
00:41:53,552 --> 00:41:56,764
Mm. And now that I actually
have time for a life,

1067
00:41:56,889 --> 00:41:59,475
I don't consider what I do to be work.

1068
00:41:59,516 --> 00:42:02,353
Okay. What you do,

1069
00:42:02,478 --> 00:42:03,771
it's nothing short of heroic.

1070
00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:07,441
I don't know if it's that dramatic.

1071
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:09,109
You are a guidance counsellor.

1072
00:42:09,193 --> 00:42:11,904
You guide these kids.

1073
00:42:11,987 --> 00:42:14,406
You make a lifelong impression on them.

1074
00:42:14,490 --> 00:42:15,741
How is that not heroic?

1075
00:42:17,493 --> 00:42:19,703
Well, back at you.

1076
00:42:19,745 --> 00:42:21,705
You've opened these kids up
to a whole new world

1077
00:42:21,747 --> 00:42:23,999
of expression, confidence.

1078
00:42:25,376 --> 00:42:26,919
Like my dad always said,

1079
00:42:27,002 --> 00:42:28,754
heroes come in different
shapes and sizes.

1080
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:33,342
Isaiah: Mm.

1081
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:35,636
I always thought that maybe
one day I should open

1082
00:42:35,761 --> 00:42:38,138
an adults creative writing club in town.

1083
00:42:38,222 --> 00:42:39,556
You should do it.

1084
00:42:39,682 --> 00:42:41,225
Yeah?

1085
00:42:41,308 --> 00:42:43,727
Someday is the one day
that'll never come

1086
00:42:43,769 --> 00:42:45,104
until you make the time for it.

1087
00:42:49,858 --> 00:42:52,278
Are you ready for the best part?

1088
00:42:52,361 --> 00:42:53,988

1092
00:43:07,751 --> 00:43:08,937

Well done, man.

- Mr. H?
- Yeah?

1099
00:43:25,227 --> 00:43:27,771
I need to know why you cast me
as your Randolph understudy.

1100
00:43:27,813 --> 00:43:30,524
Because you're very talented.

1101
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:33,193
But what if something happens
to you and I have to go on

1102
00:43:33,277 --> 00:43:35,321
and then I mess up
or freeze up, or worse,

I embarrass myself in front
of my mom and everybody?

Hey, hey, hey. Your mom will
love to see you up there.

1105
00:43:40,034 --> 00:43:42,077
She doesn't know I love to sing.

1106
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:43,888
She works with the best
professionals in the world,

1107
00:43:43,912 --> 00:43:47,916
and it makes me a little self-conscious.

1108
00:43:47,958 --> 00:43:51,086
Getting cast in
the ensemble is awesome.

1109
00:43:51,128 --> 00:43:52,880
It's amazing. It's a feat in itself.

1110
00:43:55,090 --> 00:43:56,842
But until you take that first step

1111
00:43:56,884 --> 00:43:59,470
out of your comfort zone,

1112
00:43:59,553 --> 00:44:01,263
you are going to miss out

1113

on all the amazing things
you could discover.

1114
00:44:04,850 --> 00:44:08,687
You have so much potential, Miranda.

1115
00:44:09,897 --> 00:44:13,067
- You think so?
- Yes. Yes.

1116
00:44:13,108 --> 00:44:15,486
I know so,

1117
00:44:15,569 --> 00:44:18,697
but the question is, do you believe that?

1118
00:44:18,739 --> 00:44:21,533
At the end of the day, it
doesn't matter what I think.

1119
00:44:21,617 --> 00:44:24,244
Doesn't matter what
your mom thinks, okay?

1120
00:44:24,328 --> 00:44:26,914
It matters what you think and you alone.

1121
00:44:31,293 --> 00:44:33,170
Okay. I'll do it.

1122
00:44:33,253 --> 00:44:34,755
- Yeah?

1123

That's right. Put 'er there. Alright!

Cindy: Miranda!

1125
00:44:38,967 --> 00:44:41,136
There you are. Come on.
We got to get going.

1126
00:44:41,178 --> 00:44:44,139
I was just talking to Mr. H
about my understudy role.

1127
00:44:44,181 --> 00:44:46,225
Right. You know,

1128
00:44:46,308 --> 00:44:48,977
there's a lot of pressure
if you have to go on as a lead.

1129
00:44:49,019 --> 00:44:51,122
We both know you don't like a
lot of attention on you.

1130
00:44:51,146 --> 00:44:52,439
I... I don't love this idea.

1131
00:44:55,067 --> 00:44:58,404
Isaiah, uh, how is the
show coming along?

1132
00:44:58,487 --> 00:45:00,197
"Five stars," says the New York Times.

1133
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,741
Great. Uh, well, I really hope to make it,

1134
00:45:02,783 --> 00:45:05,369
but I have a conflict that week, so...

1135
00:45:05,411 --> 00:45:08,956
- Okay. Come on. Let's go.
- (school bell ringing)

1136
00:45:15,045 --> 00:45:16,106
Isaiah: I'm sorry
your mom couldn't make it.

1137
00:45:16,130 --> 00:45:17,130
Yeah. Me too.

1138
00:45:19,925 --> 00:45:22,302
The divorce is pretty hard on her, huh?

1139
00:45:22,344 --> 00:45:23,863
Especially during this time of the year.

1140
00:45:23,887 --> 00:45:26,014
- Yeah.
- She stresses so much,

1141
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:27,724
making sure that I'm happy,

1142
00:45:27,766 --> 00:45:29,935
making sure that her
business is doing well.

1143
00:45:29,977 --> 00:45:31,788
The only problem is, she
forgets about herself.

1144
00:45:31,812 --> 00:45:33,439
Oh, she always puts others first.

1145
00:45:33,522 --> 00:45:36,191
Yeah. I can't remember the last time

1146
00:45:36,233 --> 00:45:38,777
that she went all out for Christmas.

1147
00:45:38,819 --> 00:45:40,529
I mean, the house
has some decorations,

1148
00:45:40,571 --> 00:45:42,322
but it's not the same.

1149
00:45:42,364 --> 00:45:44,158
Oh, she used to be
the biggest Christmas fan.

1150
00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:46,702
I know.

1151
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:50,330
Well, hey. I owe you guys an apology.

1152
00:45:50,372 --> 00:45:51,724
I'm really sorry I haven't
been there for you

1153
00:45:51,748 --> 00:45:52,809
when you needed me the most.

1154
00:45:52,833 --> 00:45:54,185
You have a life back in Manhattan.

1155
00:45:54,209 --> 00:45:57,004
It's not an excuse.

1156
00:45:57,045 --> 00:45:58,725
Well, you're here now.
That's what matters.

1157
00:45:58,755 --> 00:45:59,923
Yes, I am.

1158
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:02,760
Miss Brigente!

1159
00:46:02,801 --> 00:46:04,928
- Oh, hi!
- Oh, hi.

1160
00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:07,330
We're about to watch the movie.
You should come sit with us.

1161
00:46:07,764 --> 00:46:09,266
Sure. Yeah. I'd love to.

1162
00:46:09,349 --> 00:46:11,977
Great. Uh, well, we need popcorn.

1163
00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:13,419
Lilly-Anne and Isaiah: I'll get it.

1164
00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:15,439
We'll both get it.

1166
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:19,234
Don't forget the extra butter.

1167
00:46:19,276 --> 00:46:20,676
- I'll get us some seats.
- Alright.

1168
00:46:21,778 --> 00:46:23,864
Shall we?

1169
00:46:23,989 --> 00:46:26,575
Man on screen: You were
quite the talk of the town.

1170
00:46:26,617 --> 00:46:29,244
You, you won't let me
down, will you, Rupert?

1171
00:46:29,286 --> 00:46:32,247
You'll do everything just
like I taught you, huh?

1172
00:46:32,331 --> 00:46:34,082
Do you love this movie?

1173
00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:36,001
Yeah. It's an underrated classic.

1174
00:46:36,043 --> 00:46:37,503
Ah.

1175
00:46:37,586 --> 00:46:38,855
I actually come here every year.

1176
00:46:38,879 --> 00:46:40,380
It's a Hancock holiday tradition.

1177
00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:41,882
Oh, okay.

1178
00:46:42,007 --> 00:46:43,276
Do you have any Christmas traditions?

1179
00:46:43,300 --> 00:46:45,260
(laughing) Oh, yeah.

1180
00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:48,555
I used to act out, like, a Christmas story

1181
00:46:48,597 --> 00:46:50,599
in front of the tree every year.

1182
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:52,309
It was... It was my first starring role.

1183
00:46:52,392 --> 00:46:55,395
Oh. Well, that's the great
thing about traditions.

1184
00:46:55,437 --> 00:46:56,831
You can revisit
them whenever you need to.

1185
00:46:56,855 --> 00:47:00,400
Mm-hmm. What about you?

1186
00:47:00,442 --> 00:47:02,802
You have any Brigente family
traditions I should know about?

1187
00:47:03,403 --> 00:47:05,322
Mm, yes.

1188
00:47:05,405 --> 00:47:07,699
Every year, we go to
the Christmas tree lot,

1189
00:47:07,783 --> 00:47:11,078
and we pick out the saddest,
most awkward-looking tree

1190
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:12,287
and take it home.

1191
00:47:12,371 --> 00:47:14,623
Why?

1192
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,875
Because they're always skipped over.

1193
00:47:16,917 --> 00:47:19,294
Yes, they're different than the others,

1194
00:47:19,336 --> 00:47:22,756
but they have character
and, when decorated right,

1195
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:24,160
shine just as bright as the best.

1196
00:47:24,258 --> 00:47:26,343
You always root for the underdog.

1197
00:47:26,426 --> 00:47:28,887
Always root for the underdog. Yeah.

1198
00:47:32,307 --> 00:47:36,144

folks dropped in on us.

I'm a single mother,
trying to keep her business

1273
00:50:34,322 --> 00:50:37,659
afloat, and every time
Christmas comes along, I just...

1274
00:50:37,743 --> 00:50:40,012
I reminisce about all the great
Christmases we used to have,

1275
00:50:40,036 --> 00:50:42,873
and it just... it feels so far away.

1276
00:50:42,956 --> 00:50:44,684

e new Christmas memories,

Yeah?

1279

the most unlikely of people,

Second acts, huh?

1282
00:50:54,301 --> 00:50:58,054
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
The point is, you are beautiful,

1283

you're brave,

1284
00:51:00,223 --> 00:51:03,059
you're kind, you're a wonderful
mother, an entrepreneur,

1285
00:51:03,101 --> 00:51:06,646
and you deserve a chance at happiness.

1286
00:51:06,730 --> 00:51:09,649

1287

my heart out there again.

1410
00:56:33,306 --> 00:56:35,433
I just have to give the
best performance of my life

1411
00:56:35,475 --> 00:56:36,535
and win her over. No pressure, right?

1412
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:38,394
Very convincing.

1413
00:56:38,436 --> 00:56:39,830
Yeah, I know. Well,
the way things have been going,

1414
00:56:39,854 --> 00:56:42,190
this show could be a total disaster.

1415
00:56:42,273 --> 00:56:44,001
I could make a fool
of myself in front of Cindy.

1416
00:56:44,025 --> 00:56:45,252
You know, I only have
one shot to get it right.

1417
00:56:45,276 --> 00:56:47,904
It'll be great. Come on.

1418
00:56:47,987 --> 00:56:49,632
Miss Brigente believes
in the show, and so do I.

1419
00:56:49,656 --> 00:56:51,699
Well, as for Miss Brigente,

1420
00:56:51,783 --> 00:56:53,910
I'm starting to feel like I should

1421
00:56:53,952 --> 00:56:56,913
you know, come clean about
why I cast myself as Randolph.

1422
00:56:56,996 --> 00:56:59,416
I know you'll find the right time to tell her.

1423
00:56:59,457 --> 00:57:03,211
You're right. You are so right.

1424
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:05,672
You know what? I'm going to give
her the old Heyward touch.

1425
00:57:09,717 --> 00:57:12,095
- I'll leave you to it.

00:57:31,072 --> 00:57:33,950
Our director and star is an
actually Broadway performer.

1435
00:57:34,033 --> 00:57:35,076

Uh-oh.

1442
00:57:49,674 --> 00:57:52,385
Hey. Why'd you stop? You're killing it.

1443
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:54,804
Maybe you should do this run-through.

1444
00:57:54,929 --> 00:57:56,824
No, I have a million other
things I gotta work on, okay?

1445
00:57:56,848 --> 00:57:58,200
I need you to play Randolph right now.

1446
00:57:58,224 --> 00:58:01,269
Can we take a break?

1447
00:58:01,311 --> 00:58:03,855
(whispering:) Just giving
some Broadway advice.

1448
00:58:03,938 --> 00:58:06,107
Sure. Yeah. That's five, everybody.

1449
00:58:07,984 --> 00:58:09,864
(whispering:) That means
they're taking a break.

1450
00:58:10,945 --> 00:58:13,281
Well done.

1451
00:58:15,658 --> 00:58:16,701
Break lots of legs.

1452
00:58:19,287 --> 00:58:20,747
(sighing)

1453
00:58:20,788 --> 00:58:22,123
That's it.

1454
00:58:25,293 --> 00:58:26,687
Principal Ott didn't tell me he
was coming with the parents.

1455
00:58:26,711 --> 00:58:28,755
No, me neither.

1456
00:58:28,796 --> 00:58:30,507
I don't think Miranda
has ever sang a solo

1457
00:58:30,548 --> 00:58:32,258
in front of anybody in her entire life.

1458
00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:34,302
Well, come to think of it,

1459
00:58:34,344 --> 00:58:35,946
half of the cast hasn't
performed in over a year.

1460
00:58:35,970 --> 00:58:38,556
They're probably all a little rusty.

1461
00:58:38,598 --> 00:58:42,101
Mm-hmm. Okay, so, how do we give
them confidence before opening?

1462
00:58:42,185 --> 00:58:43,019
Christmas caroling.

1463
00:58:43,102 --> 00:58:44,812
Oh, my goodness.

1464
00:58:44,938 --> 00:58:46,814
Have the kids carol

1465
00:58:46,940 --> 00:58:48,000
at the Hancock Annual
Christmas Festival tonight,

1466
00:58:48,024 --> 00:58:49,335
shake the nerves out of their system.

1467
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,194
It's not a bad idea.

1468
00:58:51,236 --> 00:58:52,987
Come on, Mr. H.

1469
00:58:53,029 --> 00:58:54,829

Great job. I'm so proud of you.

Well, everybody, please
remember to come see this cast

1495
01:00:15,111 --> 01:00:18,906
in the premiere of
Randolph the Christmas Elk

1496
01:00:18,990 --> 01:00:20,867
on Christmas Eve at Archer Academy.

1497
01:00:20,908 --> 01:00:22,910
We'd love to see you there.

1498
01:00:22,994 --> 01:00:23,745
- (audience cheering)
- Whoo!

1499
01:00:23,786 --> 01:00:24,996
That was so good.

1500
01:00:25,038 --> 01:00:26,789
Yeah.

1501
01:00:26,831 --> 01:00:28,666
- Thank you.
- See you, guys.

1502
01:00:28,791 --> 01:00:30,585
(students chattering)

1503
01:00:30,626 --> 01:00:31,878
(Isaiah shivering)

1504
01:00:34,047 --> 01:00:36,132
- Thank you.
- Of course.

1505
01:00:36,174 --> 01:00:37,651
Well, I would say that Mission
Christmas Confidence Boost

1506
01:00:37,675 --> 01:00:39,218
was a success.

1507
01:00:39,302 --> 01:00:41,554
Mission accomplished, Agent Brigente.

1508
01:00:41,596 --> 01:00:42,889
Well done, Agent Heyward.

1509
01:00:42,930 --> 01:00:46,351
(chuckling) Thank you.

1510
01:00:46,434 --> 01:00:50,438
You know, I found videos
online of you on Broadway.

1511
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,273
- Oh, no.
- I may have binged them all.

1512
01:00:52,357 --> 01:00:53,691
I was very impressed.

1513
01:00:53,816 --> 01:00:55,485
You binged them?

1514
01:00:55,568 --> 01:00:58,655
Oh, I didn't know I was binge able.

1515
01:00:58,696 --> 01:01:00,698
Honestly, it feels like a lifetime ago.

1516
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:05,244
Before coming here, I thought my

1517
01:01:05,286 --> 01:01:06,805
my time in the theater
might be over, you know?

1518
01:01:06,829 --> 01:01:08,456
And now, I'm in a theater with you

1519
01:01:08,498 --> 01:01:11,501
and these kids, and it's just I'm there

1520
01:01:11,584 --> 01:01:13,628
in a way I never could have imagined.

1521
01:01:13,670 --> 01:01:15,088
Life is funny that way.

1522
01:01:15,129 --> 01:01:16,714
Yeah.

1523
01:01:16,839 --> 01:01:18,633
I took your advice.

1524
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:20,468
I'm going to be teaching

1525
01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:22,679
an adults creative writing
course this spring.

1526
01:01:24,472 --> 01:01:26,182
Are you serious? You did it.

1527
01:01:26,265 --> 01:01:30,186
Your someday showed up.
I am so proud of you.

1528
01:01:30,269 --> 01:01:31,354
Thank you.

1529
01:01:35,274 --> 01:01:38,277
So, I asked Principal Ott

1530
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:42,490
if we are still in need
of a music and drama teacher,

1531
01:01:42,532 --> 01:01:45,910
and he said that we were,
so I threw your name in.

1532
01:01:47,787 --> 01:01:49,664
I don't know if that's such a good idea.

1533
01:01:49,706 --> 01:01:51,124
Sure, it's not Broadway,

1534
01:01:51,165 --> 01:01:53,751
but these kids think of you as a star.

1535
01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:56,170
And more importantly,
they consider you their mentor,

1536
01:01:56,212 --> 01:01:58,673
which is one of
the best roles in the world.

1537
01:01:58,715 --> 01:02:00,174
I'm not a mentor. I'm not...

1538
01:02:00,216 --> 01:02:02,510
I'm someone they should look up to.

1539
01:02:02,552 --> 01:02:05,638
Of course you are. Of course you are.

1540
01:02:05,722 --> 01:02:09,434
You have a way with them,
more than you know.

1541
01:02:09,475 --> 01:02:11,936
I don't even know if I want to
be in Hancock, or on Broadway,

1542
01:02:11,978 --> 01:02:14,397
or what I'm doing with my life, you know?

1543
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,776
Well, right now, maybe you're
supposed to just help these kids

1544
01:02:18,818 --> 01:02:20,778
put on the best play of their lives.

1545
01:02:20,903 --> 01:02:22,905
But what about the play of my life?

1546
01:02:26,033 --> 01:02:28,953
Yeah. Sorry that I brought it up.

1547
01:02:28,995 --> 01:02:30,830
No, no, no. I...

1548
01:02:30,955 --> 01:02:32,558
I appreciate you talking to Principal Ott.

1549
01:02:32,582 --> 01:02:34,208
(phone vibrating)

1550
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:36,335
- One second.
- (phone vibrating)

1551
01:02:36,377 --> 01:02:38,379
Hello?

1552
01:02:38,463 --> 01:02:41,215
What? What? No, no, no.

1553
01:02:41,299 --> 01:02:43,885
What do you mean
the orders are delayed?

1554
01:02:46,846 --> 01:02:49,223
I'm sorry. I have to take this.
Can we talk later?

1555
01:02:49,307 --> 01:02:52,768
Yeah. Go.

1556
01:02:52,810 --> 01:02:53,978
(door closing)

1557
01:02:55,605 --> 01:02:58,065
(chuckling) I know.

1558
01:02:58,149 --> 01:02:59,168
I can't believe we got the last one.

1559
01:02:59,192 --> 01:03:00,193
Aurora: Right?

1560
01:03:00,234 --> 01:03:01,319
Isaiah, what is it?

1561
01:03:03,362 --> 01:03:04,822
The supply orders for the show

1562
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:06,657
are delayed due to a snowstorm.

1563
01:03:06,741 --> 01:03:09,368
So, what does that mean?

1564
01:03:09,410 --> 01:03:10,804
It means I don't know if we're
going to finish building

1565
01:03:10,828 --> 01:03:12,497
the show in time for opening night.

1566
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:14,582
Maybe taking this job
was a huge mistake.

1567
01:03:14,624 --> 01:03:17,752
I don't even know what
I'm doing with my life anymore.

1568
01:03:17,793 --> 01:03:19,420
My show is going to be a disaster.

1569
01:03:19,462 --> 01:03:20,963
You mean our show.

1570
01:03:23,007 --> 01:03:24,967
Our show, right. That's what I meant.

1571
01:03:29,263 --> 01:03:37,263
♪

1572
01:03:45,613 --> 01:03:48,449
What's all this?

1573
01:03:48,533 --> 01:03:50,803
Well, our group chat was nonstop
last night, and Hal knew a guy

1574
01:03:50,827 --> 01:03:52,888
who knew a guy, who got us all
the supplies we needed.

1575
01:03:52,912 --> 01:03:54,997
- Really?
- Aurora: Yeah.

1576
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:56,517
We're here to help you finish the set,

1577
01:03:56,541 --> 01:03:59,627
with mandatory Christmas
sweaters, of course.

1578
01:03:59,710 --> 01:04:01,087
This one's for you.

1579
01:04:03,631 --> 01:04:05,132
How apropos.

1580
01:04:05,258 --> 01:04:07,468
Thank you, guys.

1581
01:04:07,552 --> 01:04:09,404
It is so great to see us all
come together like this, yeah?

1582
01:04:09,428 --> 01:04:12,807
How could we not?
I mean, it is our show, right?

1583
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:14,600
That's right, it is our show.

1584
01:04:14,684 --> 01:04:17,478
Let's get to work!

1585
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,147
(clattering)

1586
01:04:20,273 --> 01:04:22,024
(motor rumbling)

1587
01:04:22,066 --> 01:04:23,568
- Yes!
- (motor sputtering)

1588
01:04:23,651 --> 01:04:25,444
Aah! You know what? Fine. You win.

1589
01:04:25,528 --> 01:04:27,572
- Hey.
- Hey. Nothing.

1590
01:04:27,655 --> 01:04:29,215
Are you in a fight with a snow machine?

1591
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,826
Do you want me to try to
take a crack at fixing it?

1592
01:04:31,867 --> 01:04:33,953
I mean, it shouldn't be
too complicated, right?

1593
01:04:34,078 --> 01:04:35,913
Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah. Have at it.

1594
01:04:36,038 --> 01:04:38,249
Well, I'll just look it up.

1595
01:04:38,332 --> 01:04:42,086
I mean, we aware
the internet exists, right?

1596
01:04:42,128 --> 01:04:43,397
I can't believe I didn't think of that.

1597
01:04:43,421 --> 01:04:45,131
Problem solved.

1598
01:04:45,214 --> 01:04:46,591
Except we have an even bigger one.

1599
01:04:46,674 --> 01:04:48,593
We don't have an accompanist.

1600
01:04:48,676 --> 01:04:50,153
- The show goes up in two days.
- I can help out with that.

1601
01:04:50,177 --> 01:04:52,346
I'm a classically trained pianist.

1602
01:04:52,430 --> 01:04:55,141
Wait, hold up. You play?

1603
01:04:55,182 --> 01:04:58,144
There's more to this gal
than looks and charm.

1604
01:04:58,185 --> 01:05:01,731
Okay, Sandra,
you never cease to amaze me,

1605
01:05:01,772 --> 01:05:04,358
jump scares and all.
I appreciate you very much.

1606
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,612
Okay, all right, now all we
gotta do is finish the set.

1607
01:05:07,695 --> 01:05:09,697
Oh, I may have called in

1608
01:05:09,739 --> 01:05:11,091
some surprise
reinforcements of my own.

1609
01:05:11,115 --> 01:05:13,409
Noah, what are you doing here?

1610
01:05:13,451 --> 01:05:15,345
Well, Jess texted and
said you could use some help,

1611
01:05:15,369 --> 01:05:17,997
and I know a thing
or two about building sets.

1612
01:05:18,122 --> 01:05:19,999
Thanks for the
Christmas candle, by the way.

1613
01:05:20,124 --> 01:05:21,834
Catherine and I already made our wish.

1614
01:05:21,918 --> 01:05:23,961
- I can't believe you're here.
- Of course, buddy.

1615
01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:26,005
It's what friends do, we show up.

1616
01:05:26,130 --> 01:05:27,566
That's right. That is right,
we do. And hey, from now on,

1617
01:05:27,590 --> 01:05:29,967
I promise I'm going to be there
for you and Catherine.

1618
01:05:30,009 --> 01:05:31,886
- All right? No matter what.
- Thanks, buddy.

1619
01:05:31,927 --> 01:05:33,554
Who's ready to put on a show?

1620
01:05:33,596 --> 01:05:34,931
Let's go.

1621
01:05:34,972 --> 01:05:36,849
Maybe this side here?

1622
01:05:36,932 --> 01:05:38,535
- (whistle blaring)
- We're all gonna need this.

1623
01:05:38,559 --> 01:05:39,912
- (whistle blaring)
- Hey, bring that over here.

1624
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:41,938
Actually, you know what? Let's take it off.

1625
01:05:41,979 --> 01:05:43,856
No, it doesn't fit here.

1626
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:45,700
Oh, we can bring in and see if
we need these.

1627
01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:47,109
Oh, there's the lights.

1628
01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:49,528
Okay, yeah, perfect. Over here.

1629
01:05:49,570 --> 01:05:51,781
Okay, everybody, these trees gotta go.

1630
01:05:51,822 --> 01:05:53,300
These trees don't come in
until the second act.

1631
01:05:53,324 --> 01:05:56,202
All right, who's stressed?
I am. Let's sing a carol.

1632
01:05:56,327 --> 01:05:57,745
♪ Ho ho ho

1633
01:05:57,828 --> 01:06:00,331
♪ Oh, who wouldn't go?

1634
01:06:00,414 --> 01:06:02,750
♪ Ho ho ho, who wouldn't go? ♪

1635
01:06:02,792 --> 01:06:05,336
♪ Up on the housetop, click, click, click ♪

1636
01:06:05,378 --> 01:06:07,046
♪ Down through the chimney - And go.

1637
01:06:07,171 --> 01:06:09,006
- ♪ With good Saint Nick!
- Perfect.

1638
01:06:09,048 --> 01:06:10,968
♪ Down through the chimney
with good Saint Nick ♪

1639
01:06:11,008 --> 01:06:11,926
This is really fun.

1640
01:06:11,967 --> 01:06:13,135
I love that smile.

1641
01:06:13,177 --> 01:06:14,512
Great job, everybody!

1642
01:06:14,595 --> 01:06:16,013
This is looking fantastic.

1643
01:06:20,184 --> 01:06:23,062
- Hey.
- Hey.

1644
01:06:23,187 --> 01:06:25,439
It's all coming together, isn't it?

1645
01:06:25,481 --> 01:06:26,959
Some things just aren't
meant to be done alone.

1646
01:06:26,983 --> 01:06:28,943
Hmm. I'm beginning to see that.

1647
01:06:28,985 --> 01:06:31,237
Listen, I'm, um...

1648
01:06:31,362 --> 01:06:34,073
I'm really sorry about the other night.

1649
01:06:34,198 --> 01:06:36,200
I know you had
the best intentions for me,

1650
01:06:36,242 --> 01:06:38,786
wanting to stay at Archer.

1651
01:06:38,828 --> 01:06:41,080
I just believe in you.

1652
01:06:41,205 --> 01:06:43,958
You've inspired these kids
to achieve so much more

1653
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,085
than they ever dreamed they could.

1654
01:06:46,210 --> 01:06:49,380
And more than I expected, too.

1655
01:06:49,422 --> 01:06:52,591
Look,

1656
01:06:52,633 --> 01:06:56,470
Lilly-Anne, the truth is...
I cast myself as Randolph

1657
01:06:56,512 --> 01:06:59,765
because I wanted
to impress Cindy Santos.

1658
01:06:59,849 --> 01:07:02,101
That's the truth.

1659
01:07:02,226 --> 01:07:04,770
And, uh, now, I realized how
much of a mistake that is

1660
01:07:04,812 --> 01:07:06,981
because of how much
I care about these kids

1661
01:07:07,023 --> 01:07:08,691
and how much I care about you.

1662
01:07:08,733 --> 01:07:10,067
- Hi.
- Hi. Hi. Hi.

1663
01:07:10,109 --> 01:07:12,236
Sorry. Are you going over your lines?

1664
01:07:12,278 --> 01:07:13,863
My lines? No. No, no, no. Not my lines.

1665
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:17,491
I... no, I know my lines.
Yeah, what's up? Never mind. Hi.

1666
01:07:17,533 --> 01:07:19,493
I know it's our final dress rehearsal

1667
01:07:19,577 --> 01:07:22,288
before the actual show tomorrow,
but my mom's here to watch.

1668
01:07:22,329 --> 01:07:25,750
Cindy's... in the building? Tonight?

1669
01:07:25,833 --> 01:07:27,251
Wow. (Laughing)

1670
01:07:27,293 --> 01:07:29,420
Okay. That's, uh...

1671
01:07:29,503 --> 01:07:32,506
That's... that's great. That's exciting.

1672
01:07:32,548 --> 01:07:34,317
Yeah, she has a last-minute
work thing tomorrow,

1673
01:07:34,341 --> 01:07:35,444
so tonight's
the only time she can make it.

1674
01:07:35,468 --> 01:07:37,136
Oh.

1675
01:07:37,261 --> 01:07:38,447
It's good that
you're going on as Randolph

1676
01:07:38,471 --> 01:07:40,139
because there's no way I could do it.

1677
01:07:40,264 --> 01:07:42,767
Yeah... yeah... yeah, it's good I'm going...

1678
01:07:42,850 --> 01:07:46,312
I'm going... um...
I don't know if I can do it.

1679
01:07:46,353 --> 01:07:49,356
But you have to.
We've all worked so hard.

1680
01:07:49,482 --> 01:07:51,108
Everyone's counting on you.

1681
01:07:52,985 --> 01:07:56,238
Right. Of course they are
because I'm the guy.

1682
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:57,281
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

1683
01:08:03,662 --> 01:08:05,706
Okay.

1684
01:08:15,382 --> 01:08:17,259
It's showtime, Randolph.

1685
01:08:17,301 --> 01:08:18,594
(piano playing)

1686
01:08:18,677 --> 01:08:20,262
♪ I'm a jolly Christmas elk

1687
01:08:20,304 --> 01:08:23,099
♪ With my antlers high

1688
01:08:23,140 --> 01:08:25,059

♪ I'll never be loved like they are ♪

1694
01:08:36,529 --> 01:08:39,281
♪ No matter what I do

1695
01:08:39,323 --> 01:08:41,367
♪ No matter

1698
01:08:48,707 --> 01:08:50,835
(holding note)

1699
01:08:50,918 --> 01:08:53,337
(continues holding note)

1700
01:08:53,379 --> 01:08:56,966
- (audience cheering)
- (heart beating)

1701
01:08:57,091 --> 01:08:59,552
(breathing heavily)

1702
01:08:59,593 --> 01:09:01,595
(cheering)

1703
01:09:01,637 --> 01:09:03,139
(breathing heavily)

1704
01:09:03,180 --> 01:09:05,724
(sighing)

1705
01:09:05,808 --> 01:09:06,976
(heart beating)

1706
01:09:07,101 --> 01:09:10,145
(exhaling sharply)

1707
01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:12,231
(cheering)

1708
01:09:12,356 --> 01:09:14,191
Thanks. Oh, thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.

1709
01:09:14,233 --> 01:09:16,153
Thank you, thank you.
Give me five, okay? Thanks.

1710
01:09:16,610 --> 01:09:18,028
(sighing)

1711
01:09:19,196 --> 01:09:21,031
(exhaling sharply)

1712
01:09:21,115 --> 01:09:22,449
You were amazing.

1713
01:09:22,575 --> 01:09:24,159
Oh, thank you. Thank you.

1714
01:09:27,454 --> 01:09:29,790
Go get dressed.
We're going out to celebrate.

1715
01:09:29,832 --> 01:09:31,333
All right.

1716
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:33,419
You were outstanding.

1717
01:09:33,502 --> 01:09:36,422
Completely exceeded my expectations.

1718
01:09:36,463 --> 01:09:38,132
Oh, my... Thank you. Thank you.

1719
01:09:38,173 --> 01:09:40,718
Could you be in the city tomorrow?

1720
01:09:40,801 --> 01:09:42,487
We're doing the Glitter
and Grace callbacks,

1721
01:09:42,511 --> 01:09:44,071
then I could squeeze you in at the end.

1722
01:09:44,096 --> 01:09:45,639
I know it's Christmas Eve, but, uh,

1723
01:09:45,681 --> 01:09:47,141
is that gonna be a problem?

1724
01:09:47,182 --> 01:09:49,643
No, no, no. No. No. No, no.

1725
01:09:49,685 --> 01:09:50,996
This is what I've been wishing for.

1726
01:09:51,020 --> 01:09:53,772
Cindy: Okay. 2 p.m., Madison Studios.

1727
01:09:53,856 --> 01:09:55,482
- I'll be there.
- Yep.

1728
01:09:55,524 --> 01:09:57,084
- Thank you! Thank you!
- Cindy: Uh-huh.

1729
01:10:00,821 --> 01:10:01,821
(exhaling sharply)

1730
01:10:08,412 --> 01:10:09,764
- I should have known.
- Lilly-Anne...

1731
01:10:09,788 --> 01:10:13,459
You did all of this
to impress Cindy Santos.

1732
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:15,628
You don't care about
anybody but yourself.

1733
01:10:15,669 --> 01:10:17,463
That's not true. That's not true.

1734
01:10:17,504 --> 01:10:19,024
You're a great actor, I'll give you that.

1735
01:10:19,048 --> 01:10:21,050
Had me convinced.

1736
01:10:21,133 --> 01:10:22,676
There's a lot more to the story.

1737
01:10:22,718 --> 01:10:24,053
- Just save it.
- Lilly-Anne...

1738
01:10:24,178 --> 01:10:25,888
And tell the kids or I will.

1739
01:10:25,930 --> 01:10:28,265
They deserve that much.

1740
01:10:28,390 --> 01:10:30,100
Lilly-Anne, please, please.

1741
01:10:36,398 --> 01:10:38,859
(sighing)

1742
01:10:38,901 --> 01:10:41,028
I know you're disappointed.

1743
01:10:41,070 --> 01:10:44,448
But the good news is

1744
01:10:44,490 --> 01:10:46,170
Miranda gets to go on
as Randolph tomorrow.

1745
01:10:48,243 --> 01:10:50,162
Come on, guys, come on.

1746
01:10:50,246 --> 01:10:51,705
She is going to be incredible.

1747
01:10:51,789 --> 01:10:53,332
We know that.

1748
01:10:53,457 --> 01:10:55,000
We just thought you'd be here for us,

1749
01:10:55,042 --> 01:10:57,294
at least to cheer us on.

1750
01:10:57,336 --> 01:10:59,922
But instead, you used our show
to audition for a bigger show.

1751
01:11:00,005 --> 01:11:01,507
(sighing)

1752
01:11:01,548 --> 01:11:04,468
I know that's what it feels like.

1753
01:11:04,510 --> 01:11:06,845
Yeah, but what about doing

1930
01:21:25,547 --> 01:21:27,924
My wish came true.

1931
01:21:28,049 --> 01:21:31,553
Oh, your... Your life on Broadway?

1932
01:21:31,595 --> 01:21:33,346
My life here

1933
01:21:33,430 --> 01:21:35,140
with you.

1934
01:21:37,934 --> 01:21:40,895
Is the drama and music director
position still open?

1935
01:21:40,937 --> 01:21:43,773
Because if it isn't, this is
about to get really awkward.

1936
01:21:45,609 --> 01:21:48,862
Principal Ott said
it's all yours, if you want it.

1937
01:21:48,904 --> 01:21:51,656
Of course I want it.

1938
01:21:57,704 --> 01:22:00,206
Guess our someday finally showed up.

1940
01:22:21,978 --> 01:22:24,189
Better late than never, huh?

1941
01:22:26,191 --> 01:22:27,400
You know what they say...

1942
01:22:27,484 --> 01:22:28,944
What's that.

1943
01:22:28,985 --> 01:22:30,362
"The snow must go on."

1944
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:35,533
Now, one more question:
is there anything I can do

1945
01:22:35,575 --> 01:22:38,912
to make this a more perfect
Christmas for you?

1946
01:22:38,953 --> 01:22:41,247
I can think of one more thing.

1947
01:22:41,373 --> 01:22:44,584
(gasping) "He sprang to his sleigh",

1948
01:22:44,626 --> 01:22:48,171
"to his team gave a whistle!"

1949
01:22:49,965 --> 01:22:51,925
"And away they all flew,"

1950
01:22:51,966 --> 01:22:54,511
"like the down of a thistle."

1951
01:22:54,594 --> 01:22:57,472
"But I heard him exclaim,"

1952
01:22:57,555 --> 01:23:00,058
"ere he drove out of sight..."

1953
01:23:00,183 --> 01:23:01,810
This is my favorite part.

1954
01:23:01,935 --> 01:23:04,771
"'Merry Christmas to all!

1955
01:23:04,813 --> 01:23:08,942
All: "'And to all, a good night!'"

1956
01:23:08,984 --> 01:23:12,487
(all chuckling, applauding)

1957
01:23:12,570 --> 01:23:13,570
Come here.

1958
01:23:22,622 --> 01:23:24,290

1959
01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:26,167
