00:01:33 Look, I'm very sorry about the boys.
00:01:36 Which is why I don't blame them.
00:01:38 You don't?
00:01:40 They're your children, Mr. Webster,
00:01:44 They need a mature, steady hand
00:01:49 Mrs. Hampston.

00:02:55 What are we going to do?
00:02:57 We're never going to find anybody now.
00:03:00 What are you talking about?
00:03:03 Really?
00:03:04 Absolutely.

00:04:11 Way To Go Travel. Hello, Mrs. Clark!
00:04:15 Yes, I did a little research,
00:04:18 and it includes everything, hotels,
00:04:23 So you step out of your room
00:04:26 and you wouldn't believe the sunsets.
00:04:31 Well, no, I've never actually been there
00:04:35 And normally, they don't take reservations
00:04:39 I noticed a cancellation,
00:04:44 Great!
00:04:47 Yeah, maybe I will make it there
00:04:49 Reba. Your mom.

00:05:46 Well, they're finally taking that Hawaiian
00:05:50 And they're going to stop here

00:23:41 -You've got to be kidding me.
00:23:43 The school needs someone to come in
00:23:46 So naturally you thought of me?

00:26:14 Sure.
00:26:16 They're a little shorthanded today,
00:26:19 I'd say.
00:26:22 You know, it's all in the timing, honey.
00:26:26 What is?
00:26:27 Finding someone to help.
00:26:30 Someone who's ready
00:26:34 Dust themselves off
00:26:38 I suppose.
00:26:42 Where is it?
00:26:45 There it is. Okay.
00:26:55 I can get it. I can get it.
00:27:03 I got it!
00:27:10 Gotcha!
00:27:17 Hi.
00:27:19 She's pretty.
00:27:20 Don't mind me.
00:27:30 Okay.
00:27:39 Something smells good.
00:27:42 Hey, guys.
00:27:46 Dad, look!
00:27:49 -Where did you get that?
00:27:52 I didn't even remember
00:27:54 Me neither!
00:27:57 All right, you guys go to your room,
00:27:59 -and I'll be right in, okay?
00:28:07 Soup's on in five minutes.
00:28:10 Where did you get this?
00:28:12 The boys were so full of questions
00:28:15 Where did you get it?
00:28:16 I found it in the bookcase this morning
00:28:19 -In the bookcase?
00:28:21 like it had been there a long time.
00:28:27 -Mrs. Merkle, I would appreciate it if...
00:28:31 Pamela.
00:28:35 Her name was Pamela.
00:28:37 She looked like such a sweetie.
00:28:40 And those eyes.
00:28:45 I didn't know it was your wife,
00:28:47 except that she had these
00:28:50 So obviously, who else could it be?
00:28:53 Now I know
00:28:56 Look, things have been going very well
00:29:00 I mean, the boys are happy. I don't know
00:29:03 Well, you're welcome.
00:29:04 But there are certain subiects
00:29:07 I would appreciate
00:29:10 Certain subiects?
00:29:11 Like their mother.
00:29:13 You don't want them to know
00:29:15 That's not...
00:29:18 Good, 'cause for a minute there,
00:29:21 When the time is right.
00:29:25 When they're ready.
00:29:26 When they're ready?
00:29:29 Just, please.
00:29:33 Remember from now on.
00:29:41 Is Mrs. Miracle going away?
00:29:43 Her name is Mrs. Merkle, okay.
00:29:53 And how many times have I told you boys
00:31:56 Hey, Kate, it's Reba.
00:31:59 Look, I was just wondering.
00:32:01 Have you found anyone
00:32:08 Change of heart.
00:32:23 But using recycled materials
00:32:25 state tax credits
00:32:27 That makes a big difference
00:32:30 of course, doing our part
00:32:33 -Hold on one second.
00:32:36 Mrs. Merkle, is everything okay?
00:32:38 I'm sorry to bother you at work, but
00:32:43 Okay.
00:32:44 Well, I have to be here,
00:32:50 I'll tell you what, I'm pretty much done here.

00:32:59 Auditorium, got it. No problem.
00:33:01 Okay, thanks.
00:33:03 Mrs. Merkle!

00:33:10 Sometimes you iust have to give
00:33:13 Tell me about it.
00:33:16 Okay, the snowmen are dressed.
00:33:21 It's cold outside.
00:33:23 Wanna smile big
00:33:26 You don't want to miss your mom
00:33:31 And grab your snowman, and skipping!
00:33:40 Hey, Dad!
00:33:49 Nice work, everyone.
00:34:01 -Are you okay?
00:34:05 Okay, that's enough, everyone.
00:34:07 Let's give him
00:34:12 And let's go from the top, okay?
00:34:25 That looks good.
00:34:28 Then she said we could
00:34:30 and let the audience sing along
00:34:32 Yeah?
00:34:34 A sing-along.
00:34:37 -Or frosty the Snowman.
00:34:39 Wow. That sounds like they've got a ringer.
00:34:44 -Miss Maxwell.
00:34:47 -And funny.
00:34:50 Didn't you think she was pretty, Dad?
00:34:53 Yeah. Sure, I guess.
00:34:56 -What, are you blind all of a sudden?
00:35:00 -Did you at least introduce yourself to her?
00:35:05 You're their father. You iust come up,
00:35:09 you say, "Nice to meet you,"
00:35:12 And I mean, people like that.
00:35:14 That separates us
00:35:18 I got distracted.
00:35:20 He banged his leg.
00:35:22 You banged your leg?
00:35:23 Hey, it hurt.
00:35:25 -You should watch where you're going.
00:35:30 You think it's funny I banged my leg?
00:35:33 You a couple of wise guys, huh?
00:35:39 Maxwell, huh?
00:35:43 You know her?
00:35:44 Well, I overheard someone talking at school
00:35:48 And they said that Reba Maxwell had a
00:35:54 Really?
00:35:55 Well, maybe it's iust coincidental.
00:36:00 So I hear you have them
00:36:03 Well, we have a long way to go still.
00:36:06 not to mention the costumes, the lighting.
00:36:08 Well, you know what?
00:36:10 and that's half the battle. Trust me.
00:36:15 You know, one already did.
00:36:17 You're kidding. Who?
00:36:18 I didn't actually meet him,
00:36:21 -Judd and Jason.
00:36:24 Yeah, they're in my class. His name's Seth.
00:36:28 He lost his wife a few years ago.
00:36:30 What happened?
00:36:31 I don't know.
00:36:35 God, that must be hard.
00:36:37 Yeah.
00:36:39 Yeah, well, he's got
00:36:42 He's a nice guy. Cute, too.
00:36:46 I hadn't noticed.
00:37:25 -I'm sorry.
00:37:27 -I'm so sorry. It's my fault.
00:37:29 -Are you all right?
00:37:34 -Hi.
00:37:35 -Miss Maxwell, we didn't actually...
00:37:40 -Seth.
00:37:43 Nice to meet you. Here you go.
00:37:47 You did?
00:37:50 About a vacation, you know, with the boys.
00:37:52 Sure. Sure.
00:37:55 So is now a good time?
00:37:58 Yep, that's what we do.
00:38:02 Thank you.
00:38:05 There's always Florida,
00:38:14 -You know, theme parks, Everglades.
00:38:17 They've got alligators,
00:38:20 No, you know, you're right.
00:38:22 There is a lot of weather
00:38:24 You know what?
00:38:30 Okay.
00:38:32 You know what, maybe you and
00:38:41 Okay.
00:38:49 Mrs. Merkle?
00:38:51 I kind of made some plans on Friday night.
00:38:57 You and Miss Maxwell have fun.
00:39:01 Wait a minute. I never said anything
00:39:05 Well, didn't you visit her
00:39:08 Yeah, but I didn't tell you that.
00:39:13 I'm bringing you travel agency brochures
00:39:22 They've got a new Greek restaurant
00:39:38 Okay.
00:39:57 That's kind of cute.
00:40:08 What are you laughing at?
00:40:28 Okay.
00:40:38 I probably should have asked.
00:40:41 Oh, yeah. It's my favorite.
00:40:47 Thank you.
00:40:50 -I'm a sucker for anything with tzatziki.
00:40:53 And the weird thing is,
00:40:56 so this is perfect.
00:40:57 I didn't even know this place was here.
00:41:08 All I can say is,
00:41:11 I hope you're getting combat pay.
00:41:14 No, it's not that bad.
00:41:16 I mean, I used to love doing theater,
00:41:21 You were an actress?
00:41:24 Mainly. A little directing,
00:41:28 a little starving,
00:41:33 Well, these kids are very lucky to have you.
00:41:38 I'm the lucky one. Getting to know them,
00:41:42 My guys are having a great time.
00:41:46 I'm beginning to see why.
00:41:50 Well, they're wonderful boys.
00:41:54 and they're so well-behaved.
00:41:58 We're talking
00:41:59 About this tall, dark hair, twins?
00:42:02 Well-behaved?
00:42:05 You know, you don't have to lie to me
00:42:08 Honestly, I wish
00:42:11 Okay, now you're iust talking crazy.
00:42:15 They're really great. I mean it.
00:42:21 I do work with a lot of restoration groups
00:42:25 So you save old buildings?
00:42:27 Well, I like to think of it as kind of giving
00:42:34 That must be hard, you know, iust seeing
00:42:37 But it's so worth it.
00:42:41 Like, for instance, there was
00:42:45 Rundown, but they wanted to iust level it.
00:42:50 We were able to show them
00:42:53 by renovating it into a restaurant
00:42:55 Okay, wait, not the old Rialto on 30th?
00:42:58 -Yeah, you know it?
00:43:00 I went there all the time with my family.
00:43:03 -Yeah.
00:43:05 -Really?
00:43:06 And then when I was in college,
00:43:07 they would play these really great
00:43:10 and there was this guy
00:43:13 kind of like a soundtrack.
00:43:16 Yeah.
00:43:17 That was me.
00:43:19 -Shut up.
00:43:24 Okay, this is spooky.
00:43:27 You think maybe we saw each other there?
00:43:31 Wow, so you play the piano, too?
00:43:35 -Not anymore.
00:43:41 It's freezing out here.
00:43:44 Sure.
00:43:50 Thank you.
00:44:01 -Thank you. This was fun.
00:44:05 -Yeah, I'll say.
00:44:12 So.
00:44:17 -So.
00:44:21 -Good night.
00:44:33 You know what? I'm sorry.
00:44:35 When you asked earlier
00:44:38 I didn't say anything, and...
00:44:42 The reason I didn't, honestly,
00:44:44 I didn't want to ruin it.
00:44:47 What do you mean?
00:44:49 I stopped playing piano
00:44:53 Pamela loved music.
00:44:58 Sometimes she would iust lie there
00:45:02 After she was gone,
00:45:05 Yeah, that was a part of your memory of her.
00:45:10 And everything that I loved about it then
00:45:16 Everybody tells me I
00:45:17 But they don't understand.
00:45:20 And some things you can't explain,
00:45:25 Until tonight.
00:45:29 I'm glad you told me.
00:45:51 Maybe we can do
00:45:54 Maybe.
00:45:57 -I'll call you?
00:46:02 Good night.
00:46:06 What you said
00:46:09 Did you really mean that?
00:46:11 Yes, I really meant it.
00:46:15 Although, I don't know
00:46:18 -Good night.
00:46:36 Watch yourself.
00:46:43 -Mr. Webster.
00:46:46 -Hello?
00:46:48 This is Mrs. Ackerman
00:46:50 Mrs. Ackerman, hello.
00:46:52 Sorry I haven't gotten back to you.
00:46:55 No worries. I probably should have
00:46:58 It's just been a
00:46:59 I only wish I had better news.
00:47:02 I'm sorry?
00:47:03 The truth is,
00:47:05 A full-time housekeeper willing to live in
00:47:08 I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:47:11 -Well, what about Mrs. Merkle?
00:47:13 Emily Merkle, didn't you send her?
00:47:15 Mr. Webster, we don't have anyone
00:47:23 I'm sure we talked about this.
00:47:26 Well, I think I would've remembered.
00:47:28 Well, the Ackerman Employment Agency
00:47:32 and they called around, and called someone
00:47:37 The Paradise Valley Employment Services?
00:47:39 Yes. And I mean,
00:47:42 and they have my records
00:47:44 I am so sorry about this misunderstanding.
00:47:52 Well, I've never read better references.
00:47:54 But I do intend on calling
00:47:56 Of course!
00:47:58 Okay.
00:48:00 The cookies are ready!
00:48:03 Okay, well there's...
00:48:09 Don't you iust love how cookies
00:48:19 And Mrs. Darling.
00:48:24 Okay, Delilah.
00:48:29 Little bit louder.
00:48:32 It's okay. It's okay.
00:48:41 Everybody sing along with her.
00:48:49 You are so much better than I am.
00:48:53 Can you do that again,
00:48:57 You want to try it?
00:48:59 Do you guys think that she should do it?
00:49:03 And when you do it,
00:49:06 It's going to be a lot of fun. Okay?
00:49:10 -Yep.
00:49:16 Have fun.
00:49:41 That was great.
00:49:43 She did a good iob.
00:49:45 So the agency,
00:49:48 A different agency.
00:49:50 I don't know. Maybe she did.
00:49:52 Well, do you feel all right about it now?
00:49:56 Yeah, I was never worried about her.
00:49:58 I don't know.
00:50:02 The kids call her Mrs. Miracle.
00:50:04 -Miracle?
00:50:06 But I got to say, when you're around her,
00:50:11 You iust kind of feel like
00:50:14 What's gonna be okay?
00:50:18 Everything.
00:50:22 Well, I can't wait to meet her.
00:50:26 You should have dinner with us.
00:50:30 She's a great cook.
00:50:36 Yeah. All right.
00:50:39 -Great.
00:50:46 I mean, he's already inviting you over
00:50:49 No, it's not like that, okay?
00:50:51 He has a new housekeeper,
00:50:54 -Mrs. Miracle?
00:50:56 I am a big fan.
00:50:59 Ever since she rode into Dodge, those boys,
00:51:03 What do you mean?
00:51:04 Well, it's not like the twins
00:51:08 It's like they always knew something
00:51:11 At first I thought it was
00:51:13 -but I don't think that's it.
00:51:17 I don't know, but I get the feeling she does,
00:51:44 -Hi.
00:51:46 I'm good. How are you?
00:51:49 -This is for you.
00:51:52 -Hi.
00:51:55 Emily Merkle, Reba Maxwell.
00:51:57 Hi! Actually, I think
00:52:01 Sort of. You dropped your bell
00:52:05 What do you know?
00:52:09 Well, how nice to see you again.
00:52:11 Nice to see you, too.
00:52:12 I hear your Christmas pageant's
00:52:16 Well, we're getting there.
00:52:17 Oh, yeah, you're getting there.
00:52:19 There's been a slight change of plan.
00:52:21 I didn't know this, but Mrs. Merkle promised
00:52:25 I didn't know you made plans, so...
00:52:26 But I got some soup on the stove
00:52:30 That sounds fine.
00:52:32 Holy cow, I'm gonna
00:52:34 Listen, I've got to run,
00:52:37 We'll be fine.
00:52:38 Boys, come on.
00:52:42 You know, I'm trying to figure out how
00:52:45 have I been to all those stores
00:52:49 I was wondering
00:52:53 I guess it's true what they say.
00:52:56 I guess.
00:52:58 -Cheers.
00:53:05 So tell me, how does somebody go
00:53:06 from working in the theater
00:53:11 Well, they're not so different
00:53:14 I mean, they're both iust ways for people
00:53:20 I like that.
00:53:22 As far as career paths go, escaping
00:53:26 That actually wasn't the plan.
00:53:31 What do you mean?
00:53:34 lt's a long story.
00:53:36 I got time.
00:53:41 I started the
00:53:45 You were married?
00:53:47 No.
00:53:52 I'm sorry.
00:53:57 I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:54:02 It's like I'm 15 again.
00:54:03 I can't get my brain and my mouth
00:54:06 What?
00:54:07 I haven't been on a date in years.
00:54:10 I have no idea what I'm supposed to do,
00:54:14 -I'm just in way over my head here.
00:54:17 -Really?
00:54:21 I guess that's something else
00:55:05 Hi!
00:55:07 Kate, go away.
00:55:10 Oh, wow!
00:55:12 -All right, wow.
00:55:15 Would you like
00:55:17 -Yeah.
00:55:18 Can I have one?
00:55:20 -That one.
00:55:22 All right, here we go.
00:55:24 So are the boys happy
00:55:28 I think they were happy
00:55:30 -Yeah.
00:55:32 -There you go.
00:55:36 Merry Christmas.
00:55:39 "The ghost took Scrooge back
00:55:42 "when Scrooge was warmhearted,
00:55:47 "They saw Fan, his sister,
00:55:51 " 'I was happy,' gasped Scrooge,
00:55:56 "And as Scrooge was shown
00:55:59 "he cried, 'I can't
00:56:09 "ln the blink of an eye,
00:56:12 "and was met by a iolly spirit who said,
00:56:15 "I am the good Ghost of Christmas Present.
00:56:24 And the kids, they're iust...
00:56:27 and the show, I mean,
00:56:30 And you're enioying yourself?
00:56:32 You know, I am. Imagine that.
00:56:35 -That's great.
00:56:38 Well, Aunt Molly and Uncle Bill
00:56:42 I can't wait.
00:56:44 Honey, I was wondering.
00:56:47 Would it be possible for you to have
00:56:49 Christmas dinner with them
00:56:53 But I can't,
00:56:55 Yeah, l know.
00:56:58 for you to make any other arrangements,
00:56:59 Are you finished with that?
00:57:01 Thank you.
00:57:03 Thank you. That was great.
00:57:07 This is about Vicki, isn't it?
00:57:10 Doug and Vicki can't come
00:57:13 Doug's family is planning
00:57:16 She's almost 90.
00:57:19 So, of course, Vicki decides
00:57:22 the only chance that I have to spend
00:57:25 Yes, but she doesn't have a choice.
00:57:27 She doesn't have a choice?
00:57:31 You could still come on Christmas Day.
00:57:33 I mean, iust set aside this silliness
00:57:37 You call what
00:57:40 No. No, you know
00:57:44 Your behavior ever since.
00:57:47 How many times does she have
00:57:49 Why do you always defend her?
00:57:53 Reba, I think you've
00:57:58 Please, honey.
00:58:02 You know what, Mom?
00:58:05 Do whatever you want.
00:58:08 Reba.
00:58:11 I love you, Mom, but I don't think that we
00:58:15 So Merry Christmas.
00:58:17 Reba.
00:58:31 Reba, hey.
00:58:35 Can I talk to you?
00:58:37 Absolutely. Come on in.
00:58:38 Thanks.
00:58:44 Four years ago,
00:58:47 His name was Joe Goddard,
00:58:50 and I asked my older sister, Vicki,
00:58:54 And I just thought everything...
00:58:59 But Vicki and I,
00:59:04 Sports, grades, you name it.
00:59:08 And because she was older,
00:59:10 I think she felt it was important
00:59:14 but I was the one
00:59:17 I was getting married first,
00:59:20 and I had no idea
00:59:24 What happened?
00:59:28 The day before the wedding,
00:59:33 He said that he changed his mind,
00:59:38 And it just didn't make any sense.
00:59:41 I thought that we were so happy.
00:59:45 And then I found out the truth.
00:59:49 The day we were
00:59:52 Joe and Vicki,
00:59:55 They said that
01:00:01 I'm sorry.
01:00:03 It just... You know,
01:00:06 Like it was iust
01:00:12 And I haven't spoken to her since.
01:00:15 And the irony is, is that
01:00:18 and then he left
01:00:23 And now, I mean, she's married
01:00:28 And you're left to iust pick up the pieces.
01:00:33 I mean, she keeps trying to apologize,
01:00:35 and my family, they want me
01:00:39 But they don't understand.
01:00:42 Do you?
01:00:46 You were hurt.
01:00:48 And more than that, you were betrayed
01:00:54 And you have to live with that.
01:00:57 What do you do with the anger?
01:01:04 Cookie break.
01:01:07 -Okay?
01:01:10 What are they doing, Mrs. Miracle?
01:01:13 Well, sometimes grown-ups need
01:01:19 What kind of things?
01:01:20 Well, scientists have been trying
01:01:25 I'm not sure
01:01:27 but I have my own theory.
01:01:33 I think they're talking
01:01:42 Have a cookie, sweetie.
01:01:45 So you can't spend Christmas Eve
01:01:50 It's just there's no time.
01:01:53 And you don't want to visit
01:01:56 No.
01:01:59 Well, looks like
01:02:03 What?
01:02:05 Spend Christmas with us.
01:02:09 No. No, I couldn't.
01:02:11 Why not?
01:02:12 Because you should spend Christmas
01:02:28 Hey, guys.
01:02:31 -Hi.
01:02:34 Guys, I got a question for you.
01:02:36 Yeah?
01:02:37 Do you want Miss Maxwell
01:02:40 Yeah.
01:02:41 Yeah?
01:02:42 -Yeah!
01:02:44 -Yeah!
01:02:47 What do you say?
01:02:49 -Okay.
01:02:51 Yeah! Cool!
01:02:55 So do you always leave your shopping
01:02:58 You know, every year I promise myself
01:03:00 but then it just... I don't know.
01:03:03 Thank you for being with me.
01:03:05 Are you kidding? And miss all this?
01:03:11 So listen, I was talking
01:03:13 and they asked me
01:03:18 What did you say?
01:03:19 Well, what could I say?
01:03:22 but I didn't know her.
01:03:25 I get the feeling that they
01:03:30 They never ask me.
01:03:32 Well, maybe they're waiting
01:03:34 Well, they're young.
01:03:38 Where are these ski, skates?
01:03:40 -Skate-skis? What are they?
01:03:44 Maybe I should iust get them
01:03:47 That's a good idea.
01:03:49 Reba?
01:03:59 It's good to see you.
01:04:01 Seth, this is my sister, Vicki.
01:04:14 You haven't met.
01:04:16 This is my husband,
01:04:21 We have to go.
01:04:23 Mom told me about the misunderstanding
01:04:27 -Really? Really?
01:04:30 We'll change our plans.
01:04:32 -We can see his grandmother for New Year's.
01:04:33 You know what? That's fine,
01:04:37 But, Reba,
01:04:41 Well, Vick,
01:04:44 That's something I learned from you.
01:04:47 I'm sorry.
01:04:50 Reba, you have no idea
01:04:53 Doug, it won't do any good.
01:05:00 Take care.
01:05:15 You okay?
01:05:19 Let's try a different store, okay?
01:05:29 Then Ms. Miracle took us, and we put
01:05:33 -Yeah, turkey and cranberry sauce.
01:05:37 so other families
01:05:40 You guys did a great iob.

01:05:57 Well, thank you.
01:06:07 Hey, look, just what
01:06:11 I'm sorry.
01:06:12 It wasn't fair to put
01:06:15 No, no, no,
01:06:17 I saw how hard it is for you.
01:06:21 But you know what?
01:06:24 I think it might
01:06:26 -What do you mean?
01:06:29 I think maybe if
01:06:31 Yeah, but I mean,
01:06:34 Yeah, true, but you can't
01:06:36 It doesn't.
01:06:38 Yeah, but you're giving up a chance
01:06:40 who you genuinely care about,
01:06:43 No, I told you that
01:06:47 I want to spend the day
01:06:52 Look, I know you think you're
01:06:55 but the one who's
01:07:00 So you are saying
01:07:04 So I should iust pretend
01:07:07 No, no, no, no, no.
01:07:09 I'm saying if
01:07:12 -There's nothing to talk about.
01:07:14 You don't think
01:07:16 I mean, you saw her. I mean...
01:07:18 Knowing that she hurt you,
01:07:21 -Don't defend her.
01:07:23 Look, you're the one I care about.
01:07:27 Okay? I want to see you happy.
01:07:33 There's some things

01:07:39 -Reba. Reba, wait.
01:07:54 So the set should be ready by tomorrow.
01:08:01 Seth must be pretty busy, huh? I haven't
01:08:06 Yeah.
01:08:08 Well, you know,
01:08:10 he probably knows the
01:08:17 You know, kiddo, these things
01:08:19 but they're no good for running away.
01:08:22 What do you mean?
01:08:28 -What's going on with you two?
01:08:32 Nothing?
01:08:33 As in, everything's okay nothing?
01:08:38 As in, I don't think

01:08:42 I have to get back to work.
01:08:46 Reba.
01:08:51 Reba.
01:09:05 -Hello, Mrs. Merkle.
01:09:08 No, it's fine. What's up?
01:09:09 I was wondering if you could pick up
01:09:14 No, I'm not gonna have time.
01:09:16 Are you sure?
01:09:21 and I hear there's a lot of work
01:09:24 I'm sure they'll be fine without me.
01:09:27 Listen, l've got to go.
01:09:28 I'll be home for dinner, though, okay?
01:09:33 Why do they always have
01:09:56 -I'm sorry.
01:09:58 Thank you very much.
01:10:01 Merry Christmas.
01:10:03 Merry Christmas.
01:10:04 -Find everything okay today?
01:10:11 Holy cow!
01:10:15 What? What?
01:10:16 You're our millionth customer.
01:10:19 You won a trip!
01:10:24 -Merry Christmas.
01:10:28 I can't believe it!
01:10:29 She what? Don't tell me that,
01:10:34 Yeah, well, that's what her note says.
01:10:39 The one-millionth customer?
01:10:41 Yeah. Did you read how it said
01:10:42 that the woman in the store
01:10:44 It was like she had this angel
01:10:50 Which is so totally not the point,
01:10:52 but according to the rules,
01:10:55 Kate, what are we going to do?
01:10:57 I mean, our pianist is on a slow boat to Fiii,
01:11:00 Well, we're gonna
01:11:03 This isn't about iust pounding out
01:11:06 I mean, Mrs. Darling, she knows
01:11:08 I mean, the kids, they take
01:11:11 Their entrances,
01:11:13 I mean, there's no way
01:11:24 Okay.
01:11:43 Reba.
01:11:44 Hi. Sorry to take you away from the meeting.
01:11:48 Yeah, what's up?
01:11:50 Apparently, Mrs. Darling has always wanted
01:11:55 Okay. I'm having trouble picturing her
01:11:58 -She left today.
01:12:00 Yeah, and we need a piano player,
01:12:03 We need someone that knows the pageant
01:12:12 I don't play piano.
01:12:13 I know, and you know that I wouldn't ask
01:12:19 You know why I can't.
01:12:23 So you won't help me?
01:12:28 I'm sorry.
01:12:34 So am I.
01:12:49 Reba.
01:12:52 Reba.
01:12:54 You had no right to ask me to do that.
01:12:57 -No, you mean you won't.
01:13:01 Music was something
01:13:03 I stopped playing the day she died.
01:13:04 Seth, the music,
01:13:07 For me, it did.
01:13:09 And is that why you never talk about her?
01:13:11 -they know nothing about their mother?
01:13:15 They miss her. You can't even see it,
01:13:17 because you're more interested
01:13:20 You don't know anything about it.
01:13:22 So you'd rather forget the pageant
01:13:25 than let go of the past?
01:13:26 I can't believe you're saying this
01:13:29 -You need to take a good look in the mirror.
01:13:32 Your sister did a terrible thing,
01:13:36 That is completely different! She hurt me.
01:13:39 Yeah, and you took that hurt,
01:13:41 that nobody can get at it, not even you.
01:13:44 You are iust like everyone else, you know?
01:13:46 I can't believe that I thought
01:13:48 No, you know what? I do understand.
01:13:51 I understand because I regret
01:13:53 that I didn't tell
01:13:56 And it's too late for me,
01:13:59 You can still make things right
01:14:02 You want me to forget?
01:14:03 I want you to forgive.
01:14:07 Let go of the anger.
01:14:11 The way that you've
01:14:17 We're just wasting
01:14:19 Yeah, I think so.
01:14:35 Honey, don't move.
01:14:38 Mrs. Maxwell said
01:14:41 -There's nobody to play the piano.
01:14:44 Could you do something, Mrs. Miracle?
01:14:47 Well, sometimes the best thing to do
01:14:51 And people don't
01:14:52 Sometimes it's right in front of them,
01:14:57 So long as they don't wait too long.
01:15:03 -Do we have to wear a dress?
01:15:06 It's a gown.
01:15:08 A gown is a fancy word for a dress.
01:15:11 -I don't want to be an angel!
01:15:14 Hey, Dad!
01:15:15 You guys look really cute.
01:15:17 -Told you we look stupid!
01:15:20 All right. There's a plate
01:15:23 Thank you.
01:15:25 And we're not going to do it!
01:15:28 Well, I understand,
01:15:31 Before what?
01:15:32 Before I made the swords.
01:15:34 -Swords?
01:15:36 Yes, swords. Well, you don't know
01:15:39 Angels got swords?
01:15:41 Yes, they sure do, and let me tell you,
01:15:44 some of them are very fierce
01:15:47 And a few of them are known
01:15:52 and they fight mighty battles,
01:15:57 -Warrior angels.
01:16:00 Okay. But now you
01:16:04 As long as we have a sword.
01:16:06 Warrior angels!
01:16:12 Christmas will never be the same
01:16:17 Be careful, honey. Be careful.
01:16:53 No! No, no, no. No!
01:16:59 Oh, gosh, Reba!
01:17:11 Lose something?
01:17:17 Technically, it's yours.
01:17:20 Well, consider
01:17:24 Thank you.
01:17:26 Feels good, doesn't it?
01:17:28 What's that?
01:17:29 Getting something back,
01:17:35 Yeah.
01:17:37 Doesn't happen every day.
01:17:39 Getting something back that you love.
01:17:43 So grab hold of it tight, honey,
01:17:50 Merry Christmas, Reba.
01:17:53 Merry Christmas, Mrs. Merkle.
01:17:58 Mrs. Merkle,
01:18:01 Thanks, honey, no.
01:18:04 Okay.
01:18:50 Hi.
01:18:52 Reba.
01:18:53 Hi, Doug.
01:18:55 What are you doing here?
01:18:57 I was...
01:18:59 Well, I was just wondering if...
01:19:03 Is Vicki around?
01:19:05 Doug, who is it?
01:19:12 Reba.
01:19:14 Vicki.
01:19:20 Please forgive me.
01:19:21 I'm sorry.
01:19:24 I'm...
01:19:26 I'm so sorry.
01:19:29 I've missed you so much.
01:21:20 "Deep in the night before Christmas Day,
01:21:27 -"With that Marley's ghost..."
01:21:30 I was thinking maybe I'll
01:21:35 Sure.
01:21:36 -Okay.
01:21:40 -Is it a Christmas book?
01:21:45 Yeah.
01:21:47 These are pictures
01:21:50 Does it have pictures of Mommy in it?
01:21:56 -She's beautiful.
01:22:03 Her favorite color was blue.
01:22:11 That's a picture of the three of you guys
01:22:14 Which one is me?
01:22:19 You know, I don't know.
01:22:22 But now your mom,
01:22:24 even from the very beginning.
01:22:26 How?
01:22:28 Radar.
01:22:30 That's what she said, seriously.
01:22:34 She said she had radar.
01:22:49 Boys, come here.
01:22:51 How do we look, Mrs. Miracle?
01:22:53 Like Judd and Jason in a box.
01:22:56 Judd and Jason,
01:22:58 -Okay.
01:22:59 You have done so well
01:23:01 that you may have talked yourself
01:23:05 Thank you, but whoever heard of
01:23:09 Act as if you have faith,
01:23:13 and if that doesn't work, fake it.
01:23:21 Okay, everyone, three minutes.
01:23:25 Let's go. We've got presents up here,
01:23:44 Good evening, everybody.
01:23:46 I would like to thank you
01:23:49 When my good friend Kate asked me
01:23:52 I believe my exact words were,
01:23:58 But she wasn't,
01:24:01 because I have enioyed every minute
01:24:06 I've learned a lot from them
01:24:10 about the things that matter,
01:24:15 and iust how easy
01:24:20 And one more announcement
01:24:22 Our pianist, Mrs. Darling,
01:24:26 I couldn't ask for taped music
01:24:39 But Seth Webster has kindly offered
01:24:44 So thank you, Mr. Webster,
01:24:55 Thank you. Thank you.
01:24:57 Listen, what I said before,
01:25:00 -I didn't...
01:25:02 You were, and Vicki's here.
01:25:08 I'm glad.
01:25:10 I couldn't have done it without you.
01:25:12 That makes two of us.
01:25:16 Can you stay here and give me my cues?
01:25:18 I'm not going anywhere.
01:25:22 Ready? And go.
01:26:50 And the angel said unto them,
01:26:54 "For behold, I bring
01:27:35 Bravo!
01:28:37 -Mrs. Miracle, did you see us?
01:28:39 You were wonderful!
01:28:41 I'm so proud of both of you.
01:28:44 I have something
01:28:52 I love you both so much,
01:28:54 but I have to leave now.
01:28:57 What do you mean?
01:28:59 Honey, there are other families
01:29:02 What about us?
01:29:06 It's very hard for you
01:29:08 but everything's gonna turn
01:29:12 -You promise?
01:29:15 Oh, look.
01:29:22 Come here, you two.
01:29:30 Hey, and listen, I want you to
01:29:35 'cause you never know
01:29:38 Judd! Jason!
01:29:40 There's your dad calling you.
01:29:43 -We're here, Dad!
01:29:47 -Where are you guys?
01:29:52 Come here! You guys were so good.
01:29:57 You guys did really, really well.
01:30:00 -You two were amazing.
01:30:05 -What? What's so funny?
01:30:12 Well, it's her name, isn't it?
01:30:18 There she is.
01:30:21 I wonder where she's going.
01:30:27 I don't know.
01:30:45 Let's go home.
