Speaker 2: So cool to watch the Christmas our people do Christmas.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: It is so much fun. But I got to say,

19
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: and we'll get to it. My takeaway was, Daphne, you

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: and Grant have smoke in chemistry, Like I was like,

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: whoa oh just twice. The second time, I was like, oh,

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: now I'm really heated up that you guys were smoking.

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Very cute, like finding little stuff that wasn't on the page,

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: like just for that relationship between the two of you.

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: I noticed the same thing, like just really cute, dynamic

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: and stuff that was not written. That was chemistry and

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: that's what you guys like, just so loose.

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: There was really there was something really loose working with him,

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: and just like you know that we got together and

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: on the weekends and rode bikes and we just really

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: got to know each other.

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you guys did. I'm sure that was

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: fun for you. I'm sure I wouldn't it anyway, so

34
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: I know not. But what I saw was how much

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: softer he is with jo, Like it brings out this

36
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: really sweet, sweet side of him, which was so much

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: fun to see. Yes, right, should we get to it?

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: I yeah, this was episode eighteen in season one and

39
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: a Melrose Trees Christmas.

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: I have to say, one episode away.

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: From more going on.

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's fun. But this Christmas episode I think

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: was a really this was a great episode that I

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: think it is worth watching twice. So anyway, and.

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: This episode, if I could just say, I know, everyone

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: had their own stuff and there was some heavy stuff

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: going on, but you can really see why the audience

48
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: could relate with their own friends and.

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Really coming together with you know, just.

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 2: All the Christmas themes alone, like whatever everyone's going through

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: to come together, we really got to see in this episode.

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. They really used a lot of themes.

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: And there was you know, there was bittersweet, there was sad,

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: there was upbeat. There was just cute and all so

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: pretty and Christmas seed. So here we go Seeing one

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: opens on an exterior Christmas tree farm. Joe and jak

57
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: are looking for a Christmas tree, and Joe's sort of

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: trying to talk him out of it, saying, you know,

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: this is dumb, It's just another excuse to throw away money.

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: But Jake's no, you know, I grew up with an

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: alcoholic mother who told me that Santa didn't visit poor people.

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting a tree and yeah, super harsh. But he's like, no,

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't tell me, don't talk me out of this.

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting a tree. And then he picks out the

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: tallest tree.

66
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: He goes and you see, and Joe's Joe's look, I know,

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, does not belong in Rockefeller Center?

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he goes.

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: And then he goes, should I get flocking? And you

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: had the best line and DEFU went no. Yeah, it

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: was just like no, Yeah, I love.

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 2: And you know, I love the camera work in this episode,

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: and it's Bethany Rooney just gonna gio love her.

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, such a grace. And I love my white sweater. Okay,

75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I'll let you keep going, but I know you.

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Were in white. I noticed that too.

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that long, big, oversized sweater.

78
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then back in Jake's apartment, this giant Christmas

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: tree is so tall it's bending at the top because

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: it's touching the ceiling. And there's this really great ceiling

81
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: POV where the you know, the camera's up top and

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: looking down, way way down on Jake and Joe. Great.

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: Jake is excited to show Joe this remote control car

84
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: that he's purchased and he's going to give it to

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: his son David for Christmas, and Joe is sort of wondering, well,

86
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: who are you going to say it's from, because you're

87
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: not dad, and he says, well, I'll say it's from

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Santa Claus, and Joe mentions, well, I guess Santa does exist,

89
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: but only for very lucky children. And this is one

90
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: of those moments where I think she's seeing Jake is like,

91
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: what a warm heart he has because he's so excited

92
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: and he's so lovely about wanting to give this gift

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: to David. They share this very intimate look and just

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: sort of decide to break that moment.

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: And myself and the rest of the audience is saying cancer,

96
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: just Giitzer, because it's like the electricity is just crackling.

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, really sweet and soft and like immediate chemistry, love us, immediate.

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: Then we cut to Alice and who's in a hospital bed.

99
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: She's waiting to go in for her procedure, and Billy

100
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: is standing at her bedside, and Allison confides to him

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: that she's kind of nervous and now that she is thinking,

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's a possibility she might not be able

103
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: to have kids, she's realizing she really does want to

104
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: be able to someday. And he says, well, we'll cross

105
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: that bridge when we get to it, and everybody, including Alison,

106
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 1: notices what he says and how he says it. She says,

107
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: real class yes, and he's kind of sheepish because he

108
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: realizes what he said, and he clarifies, Oh, I'm just

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: trying to I'm just trying to be there for you,

110
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to be by your side

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: and help you through this and she says, well, you're

112
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: doing a great job and this is especially tough time,

113
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, especially at Christmas and in walks Doctor Michael

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Mancini to try it.

115
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: I just want to say quickly, because it's like the couples.

116
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: We go from super sexy with Jake and Joe and

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: then sweet, sweet sweet with Billy and Allison. It's like

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: something for everyone, Like everyone's like something for everyone in

119
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: the first five minutes.

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Well, the chemistry is not lacking in this one either.

121
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: It's just it's just right.

122
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm the audience member here and

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for both of these couples. I am just

124
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: saying I'm they're going yes and yes.

125
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: But I love how they are different tones and because

126
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: yours are so caring you're in the hospital and that

127
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: feels like real and solid, and our seems like new

128
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: and crackly.

129
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: But also they're I love the difference. At the Billy

130
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: and Allison, they're feeling back, they're trying to just remain friends,

131
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: and so they're like just having this sweet friendship when

132
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: we're all going, wait, there's so much more. And then

133
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Jake and Joe are like Bam, we're doing this because

134
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: this is obvious so cute. So Michael checks on her

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: and says, you're going to be fine. And oh, by

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the way, Jeane is sending her love from Chicago, where

137
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: she's spending Christmas with her parents. I noticed that they

138
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: didn't mention that she's spending Christmas with her sister, because

139
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: at this point I think Sydney doesn't exist.

140
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I was wondering where she's not in

141
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: this episode. So she must remember when that she and

142
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: Rob got married right before we started. Maybe this is

143
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: what you got to stick.

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Oh maybe why they wrote her out of it because

145
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: there was no reason for it.

146
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: We should ask her she might have accompli as her

147
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: I wonder members because she just wasn't normally that. I've

148
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: a scene where she says, I'm visiting my family, but

149
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: he was in charge of the exposition.

150
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: But it gives Michael a very good opportunity to have

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: his episode, which unfolds later and Allison. He leaves, and

152
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: Alison tells Billy again and once they're alone, that she

153
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: is scared, and Billy again reassures her that everything is

154
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: going to be okay. So we cut to Ronda's aerobics class.

155
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: She's teaching a step class. She's wearing a Santa hat.

156
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: It's cute and festive, and she's so energetic and adorable.

157
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: And she then catches a glimpse of Terence watching her teach.

158
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: She's checking her out from the back of the class.

159
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: He's in a suit, and Ronda is surprised, gets her

160
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: class covered by another person to step in and teach,

161
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: and she says, what are you doing? We were supposed

162
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: to have a date on it tonight and he tells her

163
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: he's going to have to cancel that date, and she's

164
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: disappointed because she's leaving tomorrow for Christmas. He says, but

165
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: how about if you maybe change your plans and go

166
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: with me to aspin Leen tickets that he's already purchased

167
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: for the two of them to spend the holidays in Aspen,

168
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: and Ronda's totally surprised, and she starts to worry out

169
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: loud about how I tell my parents, and well, I

170
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: don't have any ski clothes. I don't even know how

171
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: to ski. He says, you don't have to decide.

172
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: Think about it, a classic weptom of Aspen. Did you guys?

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: That's when I was going to Aspen that well pretending scheme.

174
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't pretend pretending.

175
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 2: Do you remember when she visited us and she's like, oh,

176
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: there's this one ski up and I just loved I

177
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: don't know if she said she took it or she

178
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: wanted to take it, but then we got to see

179
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: it in this episode.

180
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: So night was adorable.

181
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: Purple one Piece. We go back to the hospital where

182
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: Alison's being prepped for surgery. The doctor steps in to

183
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: check on her and explains that she's been given some

184
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: medicine that's going to make your sleepy, asks her to

185
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: sing jingle bells as she falls asleep, and she gets through.

186
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 3: And she gets through way more of jingle bells than

187
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: you do. You know, I don't know you've ever had.

188
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: They go come from ten, you go ten now whush

189
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: like get yeah.

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: Cinematically, they really want to draw that jingle bell, give

191
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: me some more jingle.

192
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: We're too young to have a kolonoscopy, so I didn't know,

193
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: like it is not that long, but then I was,

194
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: you know, I hadn't died and I had a klonospy yet.

195
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: So out she goes, and then out in the hospital

196
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: waiting room well, we've got Billy and Matt, Joe, Jake,

197
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: and Rohnda enters too, and Billy is very impatient to

198
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: hear anything since Allison should have been out of the

199
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: surgery by now, but the hospital won't release any information

200
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: because none of them are immediate family, they say, So

201
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: he goes out to the nurses station to find out

202
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: what's going on.

203
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: And did you notice, daph that you and Grant were

204
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 3: perfectly mirroring each other in the chairs?

205
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

206
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, mirrors? That was so they were.

207
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: They were sort of back to back with their feet

208
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: up exactly. I didn't that was conscious the partnership, was it.

209
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

210
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: I did notice that they're They're definitely bonding. Wasn't Matt

211
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: and Ronda kind of grouped like in those group scenes

212
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: the director will kind of group you.

213
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I noticed that paired off.

214
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: It seems like a lot, I have to say, not

215
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: to discount what Alison's going through, but it seems like

216
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: a lot of people for a five ry.

217
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: All of her friends are alarmed. When you heard enlarged uterists,

218
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: you think, wow, that sounds large. So I think, you know,

219
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: we better be there for Allison. And so they all

220
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: show up for this but.

221
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: Having had five words removed before, it was not It

222
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: was not as big a deal.

223
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: No one showed up.

224
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: For you, No, I I think my husband did at

225
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: the time, but you would have. I don't remember there

226
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: have been quite as much excitement. I know for a

227
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: fact you guys weren't there. Now I'm hurt.

228
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Well, you're on a motorcycle ride.

229
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure.

230
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure we were at a dinner party at someone else's.

231
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: Looks good too, say.

232
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: So.

233
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: He goes up to the nurse and says, Hey, I'm

234
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Allison's brother. Can you can I go see he or

235
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: now that she's out of surgery. Nurse calls his pluff

236
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: and knows that he's not really her brother. But Michael

237
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: walks up and assures Billy that not only is Alison fine,

238
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: she will be able to have kids whenever she chooses,

239
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: and he says, I can probably sneak in to see her.

240
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: Come on, He delivers Billy to Allison's hospital room. Billy

241
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: goes in alone and she's sleeping, and he very gently

242
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: puts her blue cozy bathrobe over her and then wakes

243
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: her up. Yeah, she groggily wakes up. Billy assures her

244
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: that she wasn't dreaming that. She is indeed fine, The

245
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: surgery went well and she can someday have children. And

246
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: then the doctor walks in and he says, how's my

247
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: new favorite patient doing.

248
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: Now?

249
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: Did anybody else think that they were setting something up

250
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: between Alison and the doctor? She's a hand little doctor,

251
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 3: I feel like is in No.

252
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: I think we all sort of did like handsome doctor,

253
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: and that's how he is calling her. So we did

254
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: sort of wonder like, hey, Billy's girl, step away.

255
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 3: Docs GoF man.

256
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Like this.

257
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: It is funny how you kind of go there's a

258
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: guest star that walks in and you're like, did we.

259
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: Do a thing there? This is my doctor.

260
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: I remember having something with this guy.

261
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. He was just a doctor.

262
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: He's seen my enlarged uterus.

263
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: My goodnessficient the largest uterus I've ever seen.

264
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: My goodness.

265
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: I don't like to brag about my large uterus, but

266
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: you know whatever, see no, no, I do bring it

267
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: up a lot.

268
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: He tells Alison she could go home tomorrow that as

269
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: long as she has someone to take care of her,

270
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: and she thinks, well, maybe I shouldn't, but Billy jumps

271
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: in and says he will be the one to take

272
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: care of her. Then we go to their apartment where

273
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: Allison and Billy are returning home from the hospital. Allison's

274
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: walking very gingerly in and getting situated on the couch

275
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: and she.

276
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: Knows, really, I was very committed to the pain in

277
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: this episode, Like I did not let that reality waiver

278
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: for a second. Do you remember that every seat, Like

279
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: I made a different choice.

280
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: Just in case anyone forgot how traumatic an operation for

281
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: an enlarged uterus would be. You were haven't needed to

282
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: walk very gingerly? Isn't the place decorated? Billy has gotten

283
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree that wasn't there when she left, and

284
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: he's all decorated, and he said his dad has also

285
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: dropped off all these Christmas lights and ornaments, and Allison says,

286
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really into Christmas that much this year,

287
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: and Billy's tucking her in and taking care of her

288
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: and saying, oh, you will be, and he says, I'm

289
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: going to go to the grocery store to get stuff

290
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: for you. And as he's leaving, Joe is arriving. She's

291
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,240

Speaker 3: When I say thank you, I feel like you may

300
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: have said something else. I'm way too grateful that you

301
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: have to see if I was there.

302

00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: I have to deal with that on your own.

307
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: Jealous of something.

308
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,119
Speaker 2: But we'll get back to that in our little Melrose

00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: has been being so nice since this surgeon. She said,

00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of starting to feel weird, but like kind

313
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: of weird in a good way. Maybe she's smiling about

314
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: that weirdness. So then we cut to the courtyard where

315
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Matt is going to run the department. This is where

316
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: he finds her in her full ski suit, yes and

317
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: including goggles, boots pulls an sees all on in her

318
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: living room's purple and then she's fantastic And so Ronda

319
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: tells Matt that Terrence has taking her shopping because she's

320
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: clearly agreed to go to Aspin. But she's like wondering,

321
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: is there some sort of catch? It's like this guy

322
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: seems to be good, too good to be true. She

323
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: asks Matt what he's doing for Christmas. He's just spending

324
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: time with the kids at the halfway house. He says,

325
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: not going to see his parents because he feels like

326
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: they don't support him, even after he'd want his drop

327
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: back after being fired.

328
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: And I thought this was a little exposition, he said,

329
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: after I lost my job.

330
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: For being a we're being fired for being k Yeah,

331
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: just in.

332
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: Case you missed last episode, Yes.

333
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Bring you all up to speed when happened. Yeah. But

334
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: they end that scene with a sweet hug, wishing each

335
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: other Merry Christmas, and Matt tells her, I think you're

336
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: onto something with this guy. I would like to call

337
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: out Matt's outfit and his Yes, please do, I will.

338
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: It was a V neck sweater with a white turtle

339
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: neck underneath. So like a lot of turtle neck shows

340
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: with the V neck people.

341
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was the nineties and it's winter and

342
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 2: seventy degrees down from.

343
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: The other what he had a bit of a mullet.

344
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he did, totally did anyway, little sprite even

345
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: the shirt, Yeah, this is even the shirt I want

346
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: to call out.

347
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still getting something.

348
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: More holiday clothes to come. And so we cut that

349
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: to the hospital where Michael and doctor Kimberly Shaw Kimberly's back.

350
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: They're running down the hospital hallway to help a young

351
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: gunshot victim who's arrived bloodied on a gurney, and the

352
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: mother of this child wants to come into the operating room,

353
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: and Michael tells her she can't, but he'll let her

354
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: know as soon as they know anything. She needs to

355
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: wait outside, and the mother pleads to Michael, please don't

356
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: let God take my baby. She was so good.

357
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 3: She oh she this killed me. Every parent's nightmare and shocking, right,

358
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: because Melro's light fun, light fun. And then you know,

359
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: we're worried about a fibroid. And then this kid comes

360
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 3: into the gun show and that shocked me.

361
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: We're back with Jake and Joe and Jake's apartment. They're

362
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: adding tinsel to this giant Christmas tree and Jake is

363
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: enjoying the tree, saying it smells like Christmas, and just says, wait,

364
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: I got you something. She pulls out an angel old

365
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: treetopper for Jake and he suggests that she classed.

366
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: In case you guys didn't know that we were smoking

367
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: hot together yet this one.

368
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: Had Laura right. Well, this is one of the Courtney's

369
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: Courtney's moments, like noticing that Jake was so sweet becaus like,

370
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,800

Speaker 1: so loving, like this is so special and thank you.

372
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: It's so soft for Jake, and and then but so

373
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: she's climbing up this.

374
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: Ladder and said, I'm afraid of heights, right, yeah.

375
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: But you saw that girl taking photos of ladders like

376
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: for episodes at a time.

377
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: But he's behind her and and all of a sudden,

378
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: she gets a little flustered and she's like, I'm just

Speaker 1: to jams it in the she's.

381
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: Like half way up, but then there to catch her

382
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: when she's slide down.

383
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: She jams in the military. Yeah, it comes down from

Speaker 2: in there.

388
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: She does try to stop them and say, wait a minute.

00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, people do things during the holidays and they

416
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte

417
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 5: Yorke on a new HBO show called Sex and the City.

418
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 5: As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

419
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 5: in New York City, the show helped push once unacceptable

420
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 5: conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

421
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 5: around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

422
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 5: as they searched for fulfillment in life. Sex and friendships.

423
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 5: Now I want to connect with you and share untold

424
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 5: stories and all the behind the scenes together with special guests.

425
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 5: What will begin with sex and the City will evolve

426
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 5: into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.

427
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 5: Are You a Charlotte is a much more more than

428
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 5: just rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past and

429
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 5: the present together as we talk with heart, humor.

430
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 6: And of course some optimism.

431
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,

432
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

433
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: And Billy says, you know, he just finds himself. He

434
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: really wants to buy her nice things, especially since she

435
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: became so kind of helpless and needed him, and things

436
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: he can't afford. And Jake's like, hey, nothing wrong with that,

437
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: good choice. Billy Bye.

438
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 3: Doesn't like Billy? Does he like?

439
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: Push him out the door?

440
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: He starts, yeah. He starts to try to get him

441
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: out the door, like all right, you good it enough

442
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: time You're bye. We were busy, and uh so Billy's

443
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: still trying to find himself, like, wait a minute, no,

444
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't have feelings for Alison. Okay, bye enough. Fie

445
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: lends him out the door and another cute mom with

446
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: Joe and Jake where.

447
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: He turns back to her and he's like, okay, we're

448
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: you know, and how you stay over there? So cute.

449
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: We know that they both want to jump on it

450
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: day there. Keep your hands to yourself, she says, so cute.

451
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: So then back to Allison's apartment, She's crying on the couch, sobbing.

452
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 3: Again, I didn't really know while you're putting. Remember how

453
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: I remember doing a lot of crying scenes, being very

454
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: nervous about them. But I'm sobbing. I think I'm not

455
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: good at like quietly letting tears rolled out. I was sobbing.

456
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think that's also what the scene called for.

457
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: But like just to do that as an actor, like,

458
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: if that's exhausting, you.

459
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: Were working, it's exhausting hard. So Allison's crying, You're not

460
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: to see how hard I was working. I was like,

461
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: you were clearly working.

462
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's you.

463
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 3: I just were exhausted for you.

464
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just impressed that you had all that

465
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: kind to do and you kept it up and you

466
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: were great. So Billy Watson's he's a crying and she

467
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: explained she must have this post up depression that the

468
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: doctor had sort.

469
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 3: Of wonder about there it is y yeah, well, and

470
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: I do remember this about these scenes, which is how

471
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 3: frustrated I was, because it was always I would be

472
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 3: sobbing and Billy would be like, are you okay? I'm sorry,

473
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: and I'd be talking and sobbing, and I was like,

474
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: this feels really unfair, like the division of paper doesn't uneven,

475
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: and I'm crying and saying all the lines and he

476
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 3: just goes, you have people, okay, blah blah blah black

477
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 3: crack cracker bla.

478
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: We'll get through this. Yeah.

479
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

480
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: He was adoring her that she's gonna have a great Christmas,

481
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: and she says, well, you know, I don't even have

482
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: money to buy gifts, and Billy's like like, sure, roommates,

483
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: we don't need to exchange gifts.

484
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: I just first know, me so mad that Joe was

485
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 2: so blunt with Bill in the last scene and was

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: like made him, you know, not want to give her

487
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 2: this beautiful bracelet. And he's like.

488
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Oh, he's also trying to like walk that line because

489
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: she's saying, you know, can we can we just like

490
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: make maybe make a pact and He's like, sure, let's

491
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: make a pact and we don't need to exchange gifts,

492
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: and they shake hands. They shake hands on this pact

493
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: and he's just trying to do the right thing. But

494
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: it's you the scene ended with such a sweet look

495
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: on his face. He's really not sure that he likes

496
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: that outcome. No, he doesn't.

497
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: I think it's crushed him basically.

498
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: But you know, show ain't over.

499
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: Let's keep going.

500
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: So back at the hospital at night, Michael and doctor

501
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: Kimberly Shaw and doctor Levin are out of surgery where

502
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: they're discussing the young boy who was shot and sadly

503
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: has not survived, and Michael, they're all very upset, so heavy,

504
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: just the senselessness of the boy's death and it's Christmas Eve, especially,

505
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: how on earth are these parents are going to be

506
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: able to endure this news? And doctor Levin says that

507
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: Michael needs to be the one to tell the parents

508
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: that their son has died.

509
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: Michael was not expecting that he was.

510
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: He was not him to tell him the grown and

511
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: doctor Shaw can really offers to go with Michael to

512
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: deliver this news and be there for that, and doctor

513
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Levin stops her and says, nope, Michael needs to do

514
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: this on his own. So he very carefully approaches the

515
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: parents of the young boy. They're anxiously waiting for news,

516
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: and he gently tells him that their son did not survive.

517
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: He had traumatic injuries, and he's terribly sorry but they

518
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: just could not save him. And the mother just dissolved

519
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: into sacks. Chris was just so good and it's Christmas Eve,

520
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, just all all awful.

521
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

522
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: So Michael then goes back to doctor Levin, who tells Michael, well,

523
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: brace yourself because tomorrow is Christmas and at the hospital

524
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: we have our own set of traditions. Christmas Day statistically

525
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: holds the greatest number of murders, suicide and accidents, and

526
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: he finishes with Merry Christmas. Doctor. So just dread very

527
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: different look at Christmas.

528
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 2: Happiness of the show. You know again, they wrote this

529
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: and took it on and it's green it.

530
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: And by contrast, yeah, exactly, because then the contrast as

531
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: we go back to the courtyard and it's now Christmas

532
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: morning and Billy is stringing Christmas lights on the balcony railing.

533
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: When Joe opens her permit door to get her newspaper,

534
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: beautiful blue robe, so very pretty blue silk robe, and

535
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: Billy she like looks over.

536
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just like, sorry, you can read it,

537
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 2: but I'm just like, God, Joe, leave Bill alone.

538
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: Such a nice guy.

539
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: I wonder how long you call him Bill?

540
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: How do you criticize the guy for putting up Christmas lights?

541
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: You know?

542
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: But go ahead. She was very grinchy.

543
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: He was.

544
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: He was going Merry Christmas, Joe, And she's like, yes,

545
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: say to your branch with Jake.

546
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 3: A lot sooner, got some sexual tension building up.

547
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And what are you doing? She says, I'm

548
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: just trying to make the place look a little festive

549
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: and just you know, it's weird to in one specific

550
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: day to hang these twinkly lights and spread peace and

551
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: goodwill towards all and anyway, they should have been up

552
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: by now. And she goes back in.

553
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: Her apartner also bahumbug, super.

554
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: Brahamba grinchy, and Billy says, Merry Christmas?

555
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 6: Do you do?

556
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: He never says, and it's Billy Joe, No.

557
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

558
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: He does not correct her.

559
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 4: He's like yeah.

560
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: So then we're back to Billy and Allison's apartment. Billy

561
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: is knocking on Allison's bedroom door, where she's recovering a bed,

562
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: wishes her Merry Christmas and he's brought her some Christmas

563
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: movies on VCR cassette tapes, Oh My God, Miracle on

564
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: thirty four Stremmer, It's a Wonderful Life, all the classics.

565
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: Allison says, well, don't you want to watch him with me?

566
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: And he says, well, I have to go to work,

567
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: got to drive the cab. Airport runs all that. They

568
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: wish each other Merry Christmas, and he leaves to go

569
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: to work, and we're sad.

570
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: I know he's trying to navigate it all right, like

571
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: he wants to take care of you, but now he's

572
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 2: having feelings.

573
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: So I don't give her the bracelet.

574
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 2: We're just friends.

575
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: But it's Christmas. I mean, there's a lot of in earth,

576
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: and he's got to work. I mean the fact is,

577
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, guy's got to work, and somebody's got to

578
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: drive the cab on Christmas. It just happens to be

579
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: the guy who doesn't have a family and whatever, young guy,

580
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: new guy. So off he goes. And then we're back

581
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: to the hospital. They were in the staff room and

582
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Michael is clearly distracted and dwelling on everything he's just

583
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: dealt with, and Kimberly comes in. She's very upbeat, asks

584
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Michael if he'll join her for a cup of eggnog

585
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: at the Christmas party that's happening in the lobby, and

586
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: he says, nope, I'm not really feeling it, and that

587
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: woman who lost her child is never going to be

588
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: able to not think of this on Christmas, and I

589
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: don't know that I will either. So Kimberly sambers a

590
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: little bit, and she says, well, you know, losing the

591
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: boy was not your fault, Michael, and you did everything

592
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: you could. But he says that he used to believe

593
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: nothing bad could happen on Christmas, and he used to

594
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: believe he had a special relationship with God, which might

595
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: have been what made him want to become a doctor,

596
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: but now he realizes that there's no God involved, it's

597
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: just medicine. And Kimberly tells him don't dwell on the

598
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: ones you lose. You have to think about the ones

599
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: you save at which time.

600
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: Which is are really good surprisingly deep for this scene

601
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: when you think, yeah, how many doctors think I'll be

602
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: able to heal people? And then they find out they

603
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: can't heal everybody. How terrifying it must be. Yeah, go

604
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 3: to work knowing that that's it's literally life or death,

605
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: which is obvious, I know, but it struck me in

606
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: this scene.

607
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but for him to be acknowledging, hey, there's you

608
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: know that his feeling right now is just like so devastated.

609
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: He's like, there's no God here, this is just medicine

610
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, like I've grown, you know.

611
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 3: There's no God and I'm not Goda, which I can't.

612
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So his pageock goes off and he says

613
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: to her, well back to the wars and now he

614
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: goes So back in Billy and Allison's apartment, Matt is there.

615
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: She is now sitting up at the kitchen table, but

616
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: she's feeling potatoes. Matt's prepping a big I love this scene.

617
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: I loved I thought it was hilarious.

618
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: I love that.

619
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: There's this Christmas stuff everywhere.

620
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: I love that Matt's got his little cooking towel and

621
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: you sitting there with that turkey. I just there's something

622
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: about these group stuff and making the food, and I

623
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: just love how the sets and the props so just

624
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: they fill it all out, you know, you really feel again,

625
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: I can see how the audience wanted to be there.

626
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: They wanted to live in Melrose Place.

627
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, things like this. It's not the other stuff.

628
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: It seems like this that really enhanced that.

629
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: It was you guys are well And I'm super happy.

630
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: First of all, super in pain, keep that very committed

631
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: to the how I felt it. But also I'm just

632
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: happy because I used to do a scene with Doug,

633
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: So that's my that was so my happy place.

634
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: Do you remember shooting the scene? Do you remember that particular?

635
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: No, but I can myself. I know how I felt

636
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: when I got to work with Doug was so much

637
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: fun and I was just like super happy. The same

638
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: thing in scenes with you, daf Like, I can see

639
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: that it's genuinely we're genuinely happy to be playing together.

640
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: And I think that's what reads.

641
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're so funny. You say you I'm not

642
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: gonna stuff it, Yeah, I mean, yeah, funny. They're talking

643
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: about their massive cooking list. They're making this turkey that

644
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: she's peeling the potatoes. There, there's gonna be a pumpkin soup,

645
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: fle homemade rules from scratch, Homade, Cranberry sauce everything else.

646
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: For his mother, like Martha Stewart, it sounds like.

647
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: We have to make we have to make the cranberry

648
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: sauce from the can. My mother would never have done

649
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: this stuff from the Can's Matt, who's here making it,

650
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: And he's like, all right, well, then maybe we'll just

651
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: have to not make the homemade pie crust from scratch.

652
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: But it's them that, like the both of them realized,

653
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: she's how did our mothers do that?

654
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: I mean, And by the way, Alison's sitting there because

655
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 2: of the you know, the fibroids and all that, and

656
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: you don't want to say exactly help it. I don't

657
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: want to say it. I want to just go fibroid

658
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: and that's that. Uh. But I just feel like she's

659
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: not even gonna, you know, to pin that much.

660
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: She's unable.

661
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: Well it's hard because she can only get so close

662
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: to the table because of the huge uterus. Well this

663
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: is what.

664
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: This is why if you don't say it, daf Courtney's

665
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: going to come on, kids, this is why. Also he's saying, Okay,

666
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: while you're sitting there, you stuff it. You can do

667
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: this is something you can do. I'll do everything else

668
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna he's gonna run into his apartment

669
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: and start the supple a that he's going to come

670
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: back and he'll load the bird when she's done stuffing it.

671
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: So like he gives her tasks that she can do

672
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: for pre seated position.

673
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: One quick question in the beginning, He's going, so it

674
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: takes this long to cook. I'm like, are you guys

675
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: just looking that up now? Like couldn't you have checked

676
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: me yesterday? Like didn't your mom step five in the

677
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: morning to put the burden? That's what I remember, Yeah,

678
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: well engineer it.

679
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: My first thought was, and I'm don't really cook that much,

680
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 2: but it was like they're nowhere near They're not going

681
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: to be eating until nowhere at midnight, right, is that right?

682
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: Like everything's just getting started, and now they got to

683
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: do homemade cranberry and now they got.

684
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: To take the homemade stuff at all. Are not going

685
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: to be ready? And I do cook, and I know

686
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: Courtney cooks too. This is none of this is going

687
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: to happen on time. If you're going to make it

688
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: all home made in.

689
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: Your very Sauce should be done, yes, yeah, bread should

690
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: be crescent rolls.

691
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: The turkey should be stuffed. Yes, everything should be prepped yep,

692
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: the crust, yep, everything. So anyway we can see that's

693
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But we we go back to Joe

694
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: knocking on Jake's door and she's holding a wrapped Chriss gift,

695
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: telling Jake that it's saw you know, just something to

696
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: stick under that monster tree. And Jake smiles, inviting her

697
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: into the apartment so we can give her her gift,

698
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: but she says, nope, I'm now, I'll pick it up later,

699
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: and she turns to leave. He stops her and says, hey,

700
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: what what why? You don't need to run, And Joe says,

701
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: I feel like spending Christmas alone. I didn't travel three

702
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: thousand miles to leave one controlling man just to fall

703
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: into the arms of another one.

704
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: And I was so glad that you had that line

705
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: because I was thinking, why are you not? Like we've

706
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: seen the kiss, why are you not? And I feel

707
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: like it's kind of that that, like you kind of

708
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 3: went back and forth and back and forth and find

709
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: we know why. Yeah, well that's why she's resisting because

710
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: the audience myself included her going what why would you

711
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 3: stop that kiss?

712
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: You're right, it did offer necessary exces.

713
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: It's another crumb. She left a you know, controlling man,

714
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: and she's not going to be controlled.

715
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's all starting.

716
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: To explain why she's been so like uptight and mean,

717
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: especially to.

718
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: And she doesn't want to rush into it. She just

719
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: got here. But he encourages her to come in, saying

720
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: he makes kill her eggnog and he has a copy

721
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: of Elvis Sings Christmas that he hasn't played for ten years.

722
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: Come on, and she reluctantly agrees to stay, saying, well,

723
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: I hate eggnog, but I'm a sucker for Elvis.

724
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 2: So I love her boundaries court and I love how

726
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, really aggressive. It's like an iron wall.

727
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: Literally ten seconds later with the mention of Elvis.

728
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: Oh, did you say?

729

737
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 5: conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

738
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 5: around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

739
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 5: as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.

Speaker 6: Get your podcasts.

751
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: So back at the hospital in the hallway at night,

752
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: there's a pregnant woman very much in labor, rolling into

753
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: the hospital and a gurneyon and very serious labor. Michael's

754
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: hurrying alongside, and the woman's husband saying that her water broke.

755
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: They were at Christmas dinner, but their obi is in Hawaii.

756
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: Nobody to deliver this baby. Kimberly rushes in, saying and Michael,

757
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: the chief resident, is in surgery. We're gonna have to

758
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: wait until he's out to deliver this baby. And the

759
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: woman says, I can't wait, and Michael says, all right,

760
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: I can be the one. I can deliver this baby.

761
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: And all right, you go get prepped for delivery. And

762
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: as the patient is wheeled away, Michael suddenly becomes a

763
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: little less confident and he turns to Kimberly and he says, hey,

764
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: have you ever delivered a baby? And she's like, what

765
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: you No, have you? And he admits actually he's only

766
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: assisted and observed, but never actually delivered one. But he

767
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: grabs Kimberly's arm and pulled her along, saying, don't worry,

768
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. And together they go through the

769
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: double doors labeled maternity and they're gonna do this.

770
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: And how full of dread were you? You're like, oh god, oh,

771
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: because of the last scene. I was so full of dread.

772
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: I was like, please don't do this to me again.

773
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 3: I barely recovered from the gunshot wound. Oh.

774
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: So we're back at Jake's apartment where he's adding a

775
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: little uh nutmeg to his eggnog.

776
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: A little spice, a little spice.

777
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: Joe's wondering a little spice to his lady, yeah, which

778
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: she said she didn't like, but maybe, oh, who care?

779
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: I like it now.

780
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: She's very mushy washy, but go on. And she's wondering

781
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: why Christmas is the only holiday with Carol's, which I

782
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: thought was so funny. And Jake's like, well, what Elvis

783
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 1: sings Easter? I don't think so, And Joe says she

784
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: really loves the CD, which I'm sure you noticed now

785
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: that it's twenty twenty four and those music rights are

786
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: not there. This was not Elvis playing over the scene, Yes,

787
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: and I heard it. I mean it probably was in

788
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two because they had limited, you know, rights

789
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: to use this song for the scene, and now they

790
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: don't so for streaming. Like now that we have these

791
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: things around DVDs and they're streaming and stuff, those music

792
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: rights are all changed. So I think a lot of

793
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: our original music has been replaced for the streaming versions

794
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,760
Speaker 1: of what we're all watching.

795
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: Oh stuff.

796
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 2: I wouldn't ever remembered that, but the minute you said that,

797
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: I thought, oh, it didn't sound like Elvis.

798
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't gess it wasn't Elvis. But that's the version

799
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: that we're watching today. But I think in nineteen ninety

800
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: two it was probably an Elvis Christmas song because that

801
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: was a whole story point, right, But you would have

802
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: heard about that if it wasn't right. It was a

803
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: whole story point. He said, you know, I've got the CD,

804
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: and she's like, great, I'm in Yeah. So anyway, he

805
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: then one step find out why were you even such

806
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: of her to run off earlier when I blocked your getaway?

807
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: And she says, you know, it's just I just have

808
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: bad associations with Christmas, my husband and his dreadful family.

809
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: And he says, well, I think you just need to

810
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: find new meaning in Christmas. And so yeah, he says

811
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: it's not so easy, and he says, why does it

812
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: have to be so complicated? I have found a new meaning,

813
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 1: and he then you know, turns into them there, pulls

814
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: her up from the couch. They start dancing to the

815
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: Christmas music. Pretty soon they're kissing, and Joe forgets everything

816
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: she was saying. She says, it up, it doesn't matter

817
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: what I was saying is now relevant.

818
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: Forget what I said about the controlling whatever, and forget

819
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: about the eggnog love it and uh whatever.

820
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 3: Half in his boundaries. They're very guard all.

821
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: I like kissing. So they end up on the couch

822
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: they're making out, and then Joe does stop him from

823
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: sort of going any further on buttoning your top, and

824
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: he reminds Jake that he said Elvis and egg knock

825
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: and sort of stops him right there. And Jake says,

826
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: but I do know how I feel about you. I

827
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: want to be with you in any way that makes

828
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: you feel comfortable. And Joe kisses him and says, just

829
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: this for tonight, puts up a boundary. Jake says, well,

830
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: sort of reminds me of being in the back of

831
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: an old Mustang. She says, well, if you play your

832
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: cards right, you might get lucky by Valentine's Day.

833
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: It's so hard to have this kind of scene with

834
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: somebody that you're not comfortable with. It's so hard to

835
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: like all the acting chops in the world, but it

836
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: really can only do it with someone that is fun.

837
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: You're playing, you know you're playing, you're play acting at

838
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 2: the end of the day. And so I've had these

839
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 2: kinds of scenes with other people and it's just gets

840
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: so serious and when the chemistry's not there.

841
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: It's so much hard. And his last line is really

842
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: cute because he says, well, I kind of feel like

843
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm lucky right now. It's such a cute mind end

844
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: the scene. This is the softness you guys are talking about,

845
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: you know.

846
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, really that you're really brings out in him? So

847
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 3: so yummy.

848
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah good. So then back at Allison Billy's apartment, she's

849
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: on the phone asking for Billy. She's calling the cab companies,

850
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: telling the operator you need to tell him to phone

851
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: home right away, and she hangs up and tells Matt

852
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: she doesn't know if Billy's coming back for Christmas dinner.

853
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 3: But the operator is saying he's not working. So now

854
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 3: we know that Billy was lying about going to work.

855
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: So she's admitting she's worried that Billy's trying to avoid

856
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: her after what she said, and she's afraid she's ruined

857
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: Billy's Christmas. Matt realizes he needs a whisk for what

858
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: he's whipping up in the kitchen. She doesn't have one,

859
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: so he heads out to grab one from his apartment,

860
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: telling Alison don't worry about Billy.

861
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: And she goes, sorry, we just have the basics, and

862
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, but there's so much stuff

863
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 2: spread everywhere and food and their plans and I'm like,

864
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know about your basics, Allison, but they've done

865
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: so much already.

866
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: But I let no whisk his place for the whisk

867
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: he does, so, he goes outside and in the courty

868
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: already notices his father, Matt's father just turning to walk

869
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: away from Matt's apartment door. Matt stops him and saying, hey,

870
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: I was just next door making dinner with friends, and

871
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: his father's really grateful when Matt invites him into his apartment.

872
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: So inside, Matt's dad compliments Matt's apartment and goes onto

873
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: a apologize to Matt for his lack of understanding of

874
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: that work business he calls it, and that he was

875
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: pleased to hear from Matt's mother that everything has worked

876
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: out with his job. He says he'll always be on

877
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: Matt's side and the last thing he wanted to do

878
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: is alienate Matt. He tells Matt that he loves him

879
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: so much and can we put this all behind us?

880
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: And Matt agrees to put it behind them.

881
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: It's really sweet. The dad is so vulnerable.

882
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 1: I love this scene and he was great in the scene.

883
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: His name is James Handy, lovely actor, and he was

884
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: terrific in the scene. Doug loved working with him, and

885
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 1: so they end the scene where he says to Matt

886
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: that Christmas just isn't the same without him. Wants him

887
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: to come home to the house where his mom will

888
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: have dinner waiting, but Matt says, I'm going to make

889
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: dinner with my friends tonight, but it means a lot

890
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: to me that you came. So they hug, they wish

891
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: each other Marry Christmas.

892
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 3: Well, first they shake hands, did you notice that? I

893
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 3: was like no? And then they pulled he turns into

894
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 3: a house.

895
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, the exchange I love yous and Matt's dad leaves.

896
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 6: Hi.

897
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 5: I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are you

898
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 5: a Charlotte. In nineteen ninety seven, my life was forever

899
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 5: changed when I took on the role of Charlotte Yorke

900
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 5: on a new HBO show called Sex.

901
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 6: And the City.

902
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 5: As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

903
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 5: in New York City, the show helped push once unacceptable

904
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 5: conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

905
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 5: around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

906
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 5: as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.

907
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 5: Now I want to connect with you and share untold

908
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 5: stories and all the behind the scenes. Together with special guests.

909
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 5: What will begin with sex and the City will evolve

910
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 5: into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.

911
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 5: Are You a Charlotte is a much more than just

912
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 5: rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past and the

913
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: present together as we talk with heart, humor, and of.

914
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 6: Course some optimism.

915
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 5: Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,

916
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 5: Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

917
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: Then we cut back to the hospital. They're in the

918
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: delivery room and there's a newborn baby.

919
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: Oh thank God, yes, so relieved.

920
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: Michael is relieved and joyously holding this newborn, handing the

921
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: baby over to the mother, and Michael Kimberly happily walk

922
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: out of the delivery room and he says to Kimberly, well,

923
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: that was unbelievably beautiful. Yeah, and they both sort of

924
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: marvel at the miracle of life and Kimberly points out,

925
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, do I hope you're feeling better now that

926
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: a new life has happened, you know, so profoundly on

927
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: the same day as death. And he admits that he

928
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: does feel better, but again says, you know, maybe he

929
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: felt the force of God was in the room. Though

930
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: he's never going to be able to stop trying to

931
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: control things. Then he tells Kimberly he's leading the hospital.

932
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: She says she is too, and he spontaneously says, hey,

933
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: why don't you come back to, you know, my Parma

934
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: complex for dinner, dinner at my place. It's an orphan dinner,

935
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: just all of us rootless children about families, And she

936
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: sort of reluctantly but then agrees to come, and she

937
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: goes to change and she says she'll meet him in

938
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: the parking lot.

939
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: You know it, now that we know what Kimberly has become,

940
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: she's so It's such an innocent beginning, isn't it. He's

941
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: just invited because Jean's out of town, and she's just

942
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 2: invited over this little orphan Christmas over at Melboe's place.

943
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: And my god, just get right, what if? And the

944
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: two of them also have a really nice dynamic and

945
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: chemistry like speaking of because they really have, you know,

946
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: a thoughtful relationship and like think about deep stuff and

947
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: the medical connections and I don't know they have they

948
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: have their own chemistry that's really like nice to watch

949
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: and you can see this friendship, you know, we have

950
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to just see that.

951
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 3: I wonder if they knew, and we have Darren on,

952
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 3: let's ask him if they knew at this point, like

953
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 3: did they bring her back just to disrupt things in

954
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 3: the future, because it starts off off so innocently, although

955
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: Thomas did tell us that they were playing the chemistry.

956
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Early the little flatness, yeah.

957
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 3: As in something to keep, something to give the writer's ideas.

958
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think it was there too, just like

959
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: just enough of an door opening as a possibility. They

960
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: played their scenes super lovely in this Christmas episode. Yeah,

961
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: so we're back in the apartment. Alison and Billy's apartment

962
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: is where they all the food is going to be

963
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: set out on this huge buffet, all the food that

964
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: they've spent all day making. Apparently they've succeeded. It's sweet potatoes,

965
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: it's rolls, it's pecan pie.

966
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: Are you wonder where they were going to eat because

967
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 3: all the food, there's no table with chairs. Where are

968
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 3: we going to eat this?

969
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: Well, they've managed to pull off this giant Christmas dinner

970
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: for everybody. And Billy walks into the apartment says it

971
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: smells great and asks Alison how she's feeling. She says

972
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: she's feeling much better. She says, can I talk to you?

973
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: And he says, actually I wanted to talk to you too.

974
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: Can we talk alone? So they go into Billy's bedroom

975
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: to talk alone and they sit down on Billy's bed

976
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: and Allison.

977
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: Goes, just quickly, did you guys notice I have a

978
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: floor length velvet dress on which feels like a lot

979
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 3: for friends, reds for dinner.

980
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: It's a very special night, very nice gown Alison's wearing.

981
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: Was it like red velvet?

982
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: It's a deep red velvet.

983
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: I remember that fabric though, like that crushed velvet, crushed

984
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:28,959
Speaker 1: kind of a lure.

985
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well coming back in by the way, yeah, because

986
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: it's nineties back.

987
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: And so Alison goes first. She apologizes to Billy about

988
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: being a bit of a bitch since she's been home,

989
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: but that she appreciates everything he's been doing for her

990
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: and that she reveals that it's kind of made her nervous,

991
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: feeling like she's getting so close to him, and that

992
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: needing him has started to feel scary, and she tells

993
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: Billy here that he is more than just someone to

994
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: split the rent with. He's now her best friend. And

995
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: then Billy says that the way he felt about Allison

996
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 1: when she was in the hospital surprised him too, that

997
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: he feels scared too about how much he cares about her.

998
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: So Alison apologizes, says, I feel bad we're not exchanging

999
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: gifts and you really deserve a great present, and Billy

1000
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: tells her, you know, I used to love getting gifts

1001
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, but nothing felt as great

1002
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: as getting you this, And he jumps up and he

1003
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: goes to the dresser in his room and he pulls

1004
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: Allison this gift from his dresser. He's like waiting for

1005
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity to give it to her anyway, and he's

1006
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 1: just so happy to do it. And she opens the

1007
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: bag and she sees this beautiful necklace and says, oh, Billy,

1008
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. I don't know what to say, and he

1009
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: tells her, just say Mary Christmas, and they stand up

1010
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 1: and she says Merry Christmas, and she kisses him on

1011
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: the cheek and they hug and it's so sweet.

1012
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 3: I've still got to say, Allison seems dense to me.

1013
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 3: This is there's a jewelry box, there's a gold necklace.

1014
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 3: Like she's still saying you're the greatest buddy. It's like,

1015
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 3: how are you missing? How is she this on?

1016
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to defend Allison because Billy doesn't want her

1017
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: to come to that conclusion just yet. He's not so sure.

1018
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: He's he hasn't committed to that conclusion right. He's still

1019
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: walking a line where he's not so sure because he's

1020
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: not coming out and saying it right.

1021
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: He's do you think? But everything you said about this

1022
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 3: scene about I'm scared of how much I need you,

1023
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 3: I'm scared of how much I love That's it could

1024
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 3: be a romantic conversation too. I'm afraid of how much

1025
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 3: I feel for you. I'm afraid of i'mu I love

1026
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: you like it's just right.

1027
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 2: It's because you have a history together already, and it's

1028
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: just friends, and that's more awkward than just you know,

1029
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: Jake and Joe meet each other and there's chemistry and

1030
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: they're both single.

1031
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: But uh, maybe that's your issue.

1032
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 2: He's not married, so you're not.

1033
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: That trab Okay, that's not fair where I was going.

1034
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 2: That's nut, that's but I just feel like I feel

1035
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: for you guys, because there's a history and there's a comfortability,

1036
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: and there's a just a history of friends and it's

1037
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: awkward to change it.

1038
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: Maybe.

1039
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: But also I know you were kidding with the married

1040
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 3: but what what that did spark something for me, which

1041
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 3: is he is emotionally available for her, and that's very

1042
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 3: scary for Allison, so she will choose the unavailable guy.

1043
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: So I think you were actually onto something.

1044
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: Okay, But what we've seen in the scene from what

1045
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: they both said, they're both feeling the same thing and

1046
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: they're both revealing it to each other in this moment.

1047
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was a very long kiss on his cheek.

1048
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, feeling things that scare them and we all know

1049
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: what those feelings are. Yes. So they leave to go

1050
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 1: back to the kitchen and the living room for the food,

1051
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: and Joe and Jake are entering the apartment with a

1052
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: bowl of eggnog saying, ah, this delicious smell was driving

1053
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: us nuts, and Matt says the turkey might be a

1054
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: little dry. He had to nuke it to get it

1055
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: done on time. Billy says, I hate eggnog, and Jake laughs,

1056
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: saying you're gonna love this eggnog. And Joe wants to

1057
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: know how Alison's doing. She says much better, and she

1058
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: shows than the necklace that Billy just gave her. Joe

1059
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: here just rolls her eyes and walks out of the shot.

1060
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 1: But she goes up to Billy with a cup of eggnog. Yeah,

1061
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: And this is where he just quietly tells Joe, you know,

1062
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,240
Speaker 1: the necklace was a token of friendship, and Joe says,

1063
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: of course, it's just a token of friendship, and that's

1064
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: exactly what you get in return. Ah, She sticks it

1065
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: to him there bills him, and then Michael and Kimberly

1066
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: come into the apartment. Michael introduces her as his colleague, saying,

1067
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: Kimberly and I made a baby together. And then off

1068
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: of everyone's stunned faces, he says, I mean we delivered

1069
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: a baby together. It was our first one.

1070
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 3: It was amazing, And if Allison wasn't so high on painkillers,

1071
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 3: she would have said, we only have enough for the guests.

1072
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 1: We invite it, and we only made a few.

1073
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 2: I feel so protective of Jane. Don't you guys feel

1074
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: protective of Jane?

1075
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: When he says I got I feel like she's kind

1076
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: of left out of this. This is such a lovely party, and.

1077
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 2: She's really getting married, probably in real life, but still,

1078
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 2: I like, get Jane, get back here.

1079
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: Something's happening. And Billy tells everyone, let everybody go outside.

1080
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: I've got a big surprise before dinner. So they go

1081
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 1: out into the courtyard. Everybody's got their cups of eggnog,

1082
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: and Billy tells everyone to look up, and he plugs

1083
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: in the Christmas lights and the whole courtyard lights up

1084
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: with beautiful colored lights everywhere, and it's lovely and there's

1085
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: a Christmas music underneath the scene, and Joe says, wait, wait, wait,

1086
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: I want to make a toast, and she raises her

1087
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: glass and she says, you know, I always thought that

1088
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: friends were people that you meet in high school or college.

1089
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,760
Speaker 1: I never expected to meet them in an apartment building

1090
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: like this. She says she never thought she'd be the

1091
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: one to discover the meaning of Christmas, but now she

1092
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: realizes that she is living this Christmas spirit and it's

1093
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 1: all are you about to crack up? It's something funny

1123
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: can we just go in and eat please? And they

1124
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: go inside and everyone goes in except for Billy. He

1125
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: sort of lingers back and he stays outside admiring the lights,

1126
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: and Allison stays back to and she goes to stand

1127
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: next to him, and Billy says, you know, Joe is right,

1128
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: this is beautiful. We should leave these lights up all year.

1129
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: And Alison wishes Billy a merry Christmas and again kisses

1130
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: him very sweetly on the cheek, and he puts his

1131
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 1: arm around her, and they go back into their apartment together,

1132
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: and the camera pulls back with a wide shot at

1133
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: this beautiful Mary courtyard.

1134
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 3: I love the lights of all year. We did lights

1135
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 3: on the tree in front of our house A few

1136
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 3: years ago and just kept them up. Yeah, were they

1137
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 3: colored or were they white? Well, they started out white

1138
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 3: and now they're kind of white and gold. Because as

1139
00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 3: lights go out and you have to replace them, you

1140
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 3: can never do an exact match. So I'm pretending they're

1141
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 3: supposed to be. I'm saying it was a conscious choice

1142
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 3: why there's different shades of white, But it actually is

1143
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 3: pretty and I don't want to throw away lights that

1144
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 3: are still good because of the waste, So I'm like,

1145
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 3: I'm just going to go with it.

1146
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: Well, I like lights that are I think that's perfectly appropriate.

1147
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: If there're anytime anyone wants to leave any light up,

1148
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: that's fine. But the white ones I think are really great.

1149
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: I've seen inside too.

1150
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 3: I know people that yes so on their railings.

1151
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: I think it are great. Well, this was a very

1152
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: festive Christmas episode. It sort of felt like one of

1153
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: these things that you should watch if and people our

1154
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,480

1156
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: of these things I think people can go to, you

1157
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: know how people have their go to Christmas movies, like

1158
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it almost feels like This episode of Melrose

1159
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: is one of those where you get your ups and

Speaker 1: ends on just such a like warm Christmas. That's how

1163
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: this episode feels to me.

1164

Speaker 3: They did a good job servicing all the characters right,

1165
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 3: like we all. Every single character had something interesting to do,

1166
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 3: which is not easy to do with so many cast

1167
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 3: members except Josie who maybe is doing something interesting somewhere else.

1168
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:41,240
