<v Speaker 1>It's such a fun season.

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 3>I did bring Georgie's Christmas hat.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh good, Georgie, you're beautiful in your hat. Nice and

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.199

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>he's so nice.

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're so excited because we've got this Christmas episode

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to do today. It's so fun and season, you know.

0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>So cool to watch the Christmas our people do Christmas.

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 3>It is so much fun. But I got to say,

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 3>and we'll get to it. My takeaway was, Daphne, you

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 3>and Grant have smoke in chemistry, Like I was like,

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 3>whoa oh just twice. The second time, I was like, oh,

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>now I'm really heated up that you guys were smoking.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Very cute, like finding little stuff that wasn't on the page,

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>like just for that relationship between the two of you.

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I noticed the same thing, like just really cute, dynamic

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and stuff that was not written. That was chemistry and

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that's what you guys like, just so loose.

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>There was really there was something really loose working with him,

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and just like you know that we got together and

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 2>on the weekends and rode bikes and we just really

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 2>got to know each other.

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know you guys did. I'm sure that was

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>fun for you. I'm sure I wouldn't it anyway, so

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 3>I know not. But what I saw was how much

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 3>softer he is with jo, Like it brings out this

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>really sweet, sweet side of him, which was so much

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 3>fun to see. Yes, right, should we get to it?

0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, this was episode eighteen in season one and

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a Melrose Trees Christmas.

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 3>I have to say, one episode away.

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>From more going on.

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, that's fun. But this Christmas episode I think

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>was a really this was a great episode that I

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>think it is worth watching twice. So anyway, and.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>This episode, if I could just say, I know, everyone

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>had their own stuff and there was some heavy stuff

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>going on, but you can really see why the audience

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>could relate with their own friends and.

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Really coming together with you know, just.

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 2>All the Christmas themes alone, like whatever everyone's going through

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>to come together, we really got to see in this episode.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they did. They really used a lot of themes.

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>And there was you know, there was bittersweet, there was sad,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>there was upbeat. There was just cute and all so

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty and Christmas seed. So here we go Seeing one

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>opens on an exterior Christmas tree farm. Joe and jak

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>are looking for a Christmas tree, and Joe's sort of

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to talk him out of it, saying, you know,

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>this is dumb, It's just another excuse to throw away money.

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>But Jake's no, you know, I grew up with an

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>alcoholic mother who told me that Santa didn't visit poor people.

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting a tree and yeah, super harsh. But he's like, no,

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't tell me, don't talk me out of this.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting a tree. And then he picks out the

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>tallest tree.

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>He goes and you see, and Joe's Joe's look, I know,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, does not belong in Rockefeller Center?

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then he goes.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.000
<v Speaker 3>And then he goes, should I get flocking? And you

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>had the best line and DEFU went no. Yeah, it

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 3>was just like no, Yeah, I love.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I love the camera work in this episode,

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's Bethany Rooney just gonna gio love her.

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, such a grace. And I love my white sweater. Okay,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you keep going, but I know you.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Were in white. I noticed that too.

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that long, big, oversized sweater.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And then back in Jake's apartment, this giant Christmas

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>tree is so tall it's bending at the top because

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>it's touching the ceiling. And there's this really great ceiling

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>POV where the you know, the camera's up top and

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>looking down, way way down on Jake and Joe. Great.

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Jake is excited to show Joe this remote control car

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 1>that he's purchased and he's going to give it to

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>his son David for Christmas, and Joe is sort of wondering, well,

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>who are you going to say it's from, because you're

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>not dad, and he says, well, I'll say it's from

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Santa Claus, and Joe mentions, well, I guess Santa does exist,

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but only for very lucky children. And this is one

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>of those moments where I think she's seeing Jake is like,

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>what a warm heart he has because he's so excited

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 1>and he's so lovely about wanting to give this gift

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to David. They share this very intimate look and just

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of decide to break that moment.

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 3>And myself and the rest of the audience is saying cancer,

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>just Giitzer, because it's like the electricity is just crackling.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, really sweet and soft and like immediate chemistry, love us, immediate.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Then we cut to Alice and who's in a hospital bed.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>She's waiting to go in for her procedure, and Billy

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is standing at her bedside, and Allison confides to him

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that she's kind of nervous and now that she is thinking,

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a possibility she might not be able

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>to have kids, she's realizing she really does want to

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 1>be able to someday. And he says, well, we'll cross

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>that bridge when we get to it, and everybody, including Alison,

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.119
<v Speaker 1>notices what he says and how he says it. She says,

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>real class yes, and he's kind of sheepish because he

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>realizes what he said, and he clarifies, Oh, I'm just

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to I'm just trying to be there for you,

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just want to be by your side

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and help you through this and she says, well, you're

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>doing a great job and this is especially tough time,

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially at Christmas and in walks Doctor Michael

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Mancini to try it.

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 3>I just want to say quickly, because it's like the couples.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 3>We go from super sexy with Jake and Joe and

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 3>then sweet, sweet sweet with Billy and Allison. It's like

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 3>something for everyone, Like everyone's like something for everyone in

0:05:58.839 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 3>the first five minutes.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, the chemistry is not lacking in this one either.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.800
<v Speaker 3>It's just it's just right.

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm I'm the audience member here and

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm rooting for both of these couples. I am just

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>saying I'm they're going yes and yes.

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 2>But I love how they are different tones and because

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>yours are so caring you're in the hospital and that

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>feels like real and solid, and our seems like new

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and crackly.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>But also they're I love the difference. At the Billy

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and Allison, they're feeling back, they're trying to just remain friends,

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and so they're like just having this sweet friendship when

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>we're all going, wait, there's so much more. And then

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Jake and Joe are like Bam, we're doing this because

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>this is obvious so cute. So Michael checks on her

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and says, you're going to be fine. And oh, by

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the way, Jeane is sending her love from Chicago, where

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>she's spending Christmas with her parents. I noticed that they

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>didn't mention that she's spending Christmas with her sister, because

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>at this point I think Sydney doesn't exist.

0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, well, I was wondering where she's not in

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 3>this episode. So she must remember when that she and

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 3>Rob got married right before we started. Maybe this is

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 3>what you got to stick.

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh maybe why they wrote her out of it because

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>there was no reason for it.

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 3>We should ask her she might have accompli as her

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I wonder members because she just wasn't normally that. I've

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 3>a scene where she says, I'm visiting my family, but

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 3>he was in charge of the exposition.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>But it gives Michael a very good opportunity to have

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>his episode, which unfolds later and Allison. He leaves, and

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Alison tells Billy again and once they're alone, that she

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>is scared, and Billy again reassures her that everything is

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be okay. So we cut to Ronda's aerobics class.

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>She's teaching a step class. She's wearing a Santa hat.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>It's cute and festive, and she's so energetic and adorable.

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>And she then catches a glimpse of Terence watching her teach.

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>She's checking her out from the back of the class.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>He's in a suit, and Ronda is surprised, gets her

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>class covered by another person to step in and teach,

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and she says, what are you doing? We were supposed

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to have a date on it tonight and he tells her

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>he's going to have to cancel that date, and she's

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>disappointed because she's leaving tomorrow for Christmas. He says, but

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>how about if you maybe change your plans and go

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>with me to aspin Leen tickets that he's already purchased

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>for the two of them to spend the holidays in Aspen,

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and Ronda's totally surprised, and she starts to worry out

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>loud about how I tell my parents, and well, I

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>don't have any ski clothes. I don't even know how

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to ski. He says, you don't have to decide.

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Think about it, a classic weptom of Aspen. Did you guys?

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 3>That's when I was going to Aspen that well pretending scheme.

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't pretend pretending.

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember when she visited us and she's like, oh,

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 2>there's this one ski up and I just loved I

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 2>don't know if she said she took it or she

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 2>wanted to take it, but then we got to see

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>it in this episode.

0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 3>So night was adorable.

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Purple one Piece. We go back to the hospital where

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 1>Alison's being prepped for surgery. The doctor steps in to

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>check on her and explains that she's been given some

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 1>medicine that's going to make your sleepy, asks her to

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>sing jingle bells as she falls asleep, and she gets through.

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 3>And she gets through way more of jingle bells than

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 3>you do. You know, I don't know you've ever had.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>They go come from ten, you go ten now whush

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 3>like get yeah.

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Cinematically, they really want to draw that jingle bell, give

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>me some more jingle.

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 3>We're too young to have a kolonoscopy, so I didn't know,

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 3>like it is not that long, but then I was,

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 3>you know, I hadn't died and I had a klonospy yet.

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>So out she goes, and then out in the hospital

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>waiting room well, we've got Billy and Matt, Joe, Jake,

0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and Rohnda enters too, and Billy is very impatient to

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>hear anything since Allison should have been out of the

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>surgery by now, but the hospital won't release any information

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because none of them are immediate family, they say, So

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>he goes out to the nurses station to find out

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>what's going on.

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 3>And did you notice, daph that you and Grant were

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.959
<v Speaker 3>perfectly mirroring each other in the chairs?

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, mirrors? That was so they were.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>They were sort of back to back with their feet

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>up exactly. I didn't that was conscious the partnership, was it.

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I did notice that they're They're definitely bonding. Wasn't Matt

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>and Ronda kind of grouped like in those group scenes

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the director will kind of group you.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I noticed that paired off.

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 3>It seems like a lot, I have to say, not

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 3>to discount what Alison's going through, but it seems like

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people for a five ry.

0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>All of her friends are alarmed. When you heard enlarged uterists,

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>you think, wow, that sounds large. So I think, you know,

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>we better be there for Allison. And so they all

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>show up for this but.

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Having had five words removed before, it was not It

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 3>was not as big a deal.

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>No one showed up.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 3>For you, No, I I think my husband did at

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 3>the time, but you would have. I don't remember there

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 3>have been quite as much excitement. I know for a

0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 3>fact you guys weren't there. Now I'm hurt.

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're on a motorcycle ride.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we were at a dinner party at someone else's.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Looks good too, say.

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>He goes up to the nurse and says, Hey, I'm

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Allison's brother. Can you can I go see he or

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>now that she's out of surgery. Nurse calls his pluff

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and knows that he's not really her brother. But Michael

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>walks up and assures Billy that not only is Alison fine,

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>she will be able to have kids whenever she chooses,

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>and he says, I can probably sneak in to see her.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Come on, He delivers Billy to Allison's hospital room. Billy

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>goes in alone and she's sleeping, and he very gently

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>puts her blue cozy bathrobe over her and then wakes

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>her up. Yeah, she groggily wakes up. Billy assures her

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>that she wasn't dreaming that. She is indeed fine, The

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>surgery went well and she can someday have children. And

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>then the doctor walks in and he says, how's my

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>new favorite patient doing.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 3>Did anybody else think that they were setting something up

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 3>between Alison and the doctor? She's a hand little doctor,

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.439
<v Speaker 3>I feel like is in No.

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.839
<v Speaker 1>I think we all sort of did like handsome doctor,

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's how he is calling her. So we did

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of wonder like, hey, Billy's girl, step away.

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.559
<v Speaker 3>Docs GoF man.

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Like this.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>It is funny how you kind of go there's a

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>guest star that walks in and you're like, did we.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Do a thing there? This is my doctor.

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I remember having something with this guy.

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't know. He was just a doctor.

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>He's seen my enlarged uterus.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 3>My goodnessficient the largest uterus I've ever seen.

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>My goodness.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't like to brag about my large uterus, but

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 3>you know whatever, see no, no, I do bring it

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>up a lot.

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>He tells Alison she could go home tomorrow that as

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.679
<v Speaker 1>long as she has someone to take care of her,

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>and she thinks, well, maybe I shouldn't, but Billy jumps

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>in and says he will be the one to take

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>care of her. Then we go to their apartment where

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Allison and Billy are returning home from the hospital. Allison's

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 1>walking very gingerly in and getting situated on the couch

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and she.

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Knows, really, I was very committed to the pain in

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.160
<v Speaker 3>this episode, Like I did not let that reality waiver

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 3>for a second. Do you remember that every seat, Like

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 3>I made a different choice.

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Just in case anyone forgot how traumatic an operation for

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.200
<v Speaker 1>an enlarged uterus would be. You were haven't needed to

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.960
<v Speaker 1>walk very gingerly? Isn't the place decorated? Billy has gotten

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas tree that wasn't there when she left, and

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>he's all decorated, and he said his dad has also

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>dropped off all these Christmas lights and ornaments, and Allison says,

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not really into Christmas that much this year,

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and Billy's tucking her in and taking care of her

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and saying, oh, you will be, and he says, I'm

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>going to go to the grocery store to get stuff

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 1>for you. And as he's leaving, Joe is arriving. She's

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>bringing magazines for Allison.

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 2>In a great vest Who love that red vest that

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.319
<v Speaker 2>printed gorgeous best, I love the best.

0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>We're in back yet yet another flattering yeah, and it's

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.280
<v Speaker 1>another opportunity for Joe to say yes doctor Bill to Billy,

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>right Bill, so that Alison needs rest. Yes, doctor Bill.

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel like there was a cut somewhere because, Jeff,

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 3>you say, I just came to see if you were home.

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 3>When I say thank you, I feel like you may

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 3>have said something else. I'm way too grateful that you

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>have to see if I was there.

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, you remember, you were just coming off your large

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>uterous drugs, so maybe you were just say super high.

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Should we just stop it already? You guys have had

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Jeff me, I know you're jealous of my large uterus.

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 3>I have to deal with that on your own.

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Jealous of something.

0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.119
<v Speaker 2>But we'll get back to that in our little Melrose

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 2>moment on Friday.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, not now. And Alison here tells Joe that Billity

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>has been being so nice since this surgeon. She said,

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of starting to feel weird, but like kind

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of weird in a good way. Maybe she's smiling about

0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that weirdness. So then we cut to the courtyard where

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Matt is going to run the department. This is where

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he finds her in her full ski suit, yes and

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>including goggles, boots pulls an sees all on in her

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 1>living room's purple and then she's fantastic And so Ronda

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>tells Matt that Terrence has taking her shopping because she's

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 1>clearly agreed to go to Aspin. But she's like wondering,

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>is there some sort of catch? It's like this guy

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 1>seems to be good, too good to be true. She

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>asks Matt what he's doing for Christmas. He's just spending

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 1>time with the kids at the halfway house. He says,

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>not going to see his parents because he feels like

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>they don't support him, even after he'd want his drop

0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>back after being fired.

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 3>And I thought this was a little exposition, he said,

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 3>after I lost my job.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>For being a we're being fired for being k Yeah,

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>just in.

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Case you missed last episode, Yes.

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Bring you all up to speed when happened. Yeah. But

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>they end that scene with a sweet hug, wishing each

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 1>other Merry Christmas, and Matt tells her, I think you're

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>onto something with this guy. I would like to call

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:24.800
<v Speaker 1>out Matt's outfit and his Yes, please do, I will.

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a V neck sweater with a white turtle

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 1>neck underneath. So like a lot of turtle neck shows

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>with the V neck people.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that was the nineties and it's winter and

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>seventy degrees down from.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>The other what he had a bit of a mullet.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he did, totally did anyway, little sprite even

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>the shirt, Yeah, this is even the shirt I want

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to call out.

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're still getting something.

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>More holiday clothes to come. And so we cut that

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital where Michael and doctor Kimberly Shaw Kimberly's back.

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.640
<v Speaker 1>They're running down the hospital hallway to help a young

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>gunshot victim who's arrived bloodied on a gurney, and the

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 1>mother of this child wants to come into the operating room,

0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and Michael tells her she can't, but he'll let her

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.600
<v Speaker 1>know as soon as they know anything. She needs to

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>wait outside, and the mother pleads to Michael, please don't

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>let God take my baby. She was so good.

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:29.199
<v Speaker 3>She oh she this killed me. Every parent's nightmare and shocking, right,

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.159
<v Speaker 3>because Melro's light fun, light fun. And then you know,

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 3>we're worried about a fibroid. And then this kid comes

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 3>into the gun show and that shocked me.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 1>We're back with Jake and Joe and Jake's apartment. They're

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>adding tinsel to this giant Christmas tree and Jake is

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>enjoying the tree, saying it smells like Christmas, and just says, wait,

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I got you something. She pulls out an angel old

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>treetopper for Jake and he suggests that she classed.

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>In case you guys didn't know that we were smoking

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.880
<v Speaker 2>hot together yet this one.

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Had Laura right. Well, this is one of the Courtney's

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Courtney's moments, like noticing that Jake was so sweet becaus like,

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>why don't you put it on? He's so gentle and

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 1>so loving, like this is so special and thank you.

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 1>It's so soft for Jake, and and then but so

0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.320
<v Speaker 1>she's climbing up this.

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Ladder and said, I'm afraid of heights, right, yeah.

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>But you saw that girl taking photos of ladders like

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 2>for episodes at a time.

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 1>But he's behind her and and all of a sudden,

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>she gets a little flustered and she's like, I'm just

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm just gonna put it here, and she try

0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to jams it in the she's.

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Like half way up, but then there to catch her

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 2>when she's slide down.

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>She jams in the military. Yeah, it comes down from

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the ladder and they find themselves sort of like face

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 1>to face and uh like, but they're interrupted.

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.159
<v Speaker 2>There's more to come, but I know a little bit

0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 2>in there.

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>She does try to stop them and say, wait a minute.

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, people do things during the holidays and they

0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>don't normally do. Maybe they'll regret it, but they're interrupted.

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Here Bill knock, Hi Bill, door, Hi Bill, Hi Bill,

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.560

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 4>but Joe's like, wait, is something going on between you two?

0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.160
<v Speaker 1>He says, why do you think the necklace might imply something?

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:32.520

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.920

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Billy rolls his eyes and says, yeah, you would think that, right,

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:41.639
<v Speaker 1>and he says, well, what about you, Jake, what do

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you think do you think the necklace crosses the line

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 1>between friendship and romance? And Jakes's not And it's a

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 1>tough call, but Joe wants to clarify, Hey, is it

<v Speaker 1>crossing the line, my friends. Yes, you're asking for some.

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.480
<v Speaker 5>Hi. I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.560
<v Speaker 5>you a Charlotte? In nineteen ninety seven, my life was

0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 5>forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 5>Yorke on a new HBO show called Sex and the City.

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:29.880
<v Speaker 5>As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 5>in New York City, the show helped push once unacceptable

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:37.160
<v Speaker 5>conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.360
<v Speaker 5>around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 5>as they searched for fulfillment in life. Sex and friendships.

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 5>Now I want to connect with you and share untold

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 5>stories and all the behind the scenes together with special guests.

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.919
<v Speaker 5>What will begin with sex and the City will evolve

0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.360
<v Speaker 5>into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.360
<v Speaker 5>Are You a Charlotte is a much more more than

0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 5>just rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past and

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 5>the present together as we talk with heart, humor.

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:09.800
<v Speaker 6>And of course some optimism.

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 5>Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>And Billy says, you know, he just finds himself. He

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:24.200
<v Speaker 1>really wants to buy her nice things, especially since she

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 1>became so kind of helpless and needed him, and things

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>he can't afford. And Jake's like, hey, nothing wrong with that,

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.920
<v Speaker 1>good choice. Billy Bye.

0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:35.679
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't like Billy? Does he like?

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Push him out the door?

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 1>He starts, yeah. He starts to try to get him

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 1>out the door, like all right, you good it enough

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 1>time You're bye. We were busy, and uh so Billy's

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.119
<v Speaker 1>still trying to find himself, like, wait a minute, no,

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't have feelings for Alison. Okay, bye enough. Fie

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>lends him out the door and another cute mom with

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Joe and Jake where.

0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>He turns back to her and he's like, okay, we're

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, and how you stay over there? So cute.

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>We know that they both want to jump on it

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.919
<v Speaker 1>day there. Keep your hands to yourself, she says, so cute.

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 1>So then back to Allison's apartment, She's crying on the couch, sobbing.

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Again, I didn't really know while you're putting. Remember how

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I remember doing a lot of crying scenes, being very

0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 3>nervous about them. But I'm sobbing. I think I'm not

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 3>good at like quietly letting tears rolled out. I was sobbing.

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I think that's also what the scene called for.

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:34.959
<v Speaker 1>But like just to do that as an actor, like,

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>if that's exhausting, you.

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Were working, it's exhausting hard. So Allison's crying, You're not

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 3>to see how hard I was working. I was like,

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 3>you were clearly working.

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that it's you.

0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 3>I just were exhausted for you.

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just impressed that you had all that

0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>kind to do and you kept it up and you

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.399
<v Speaker 1>were great. So Billy Watson's he's a crying and she

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>explained she must have this post up depression that the

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:00.040
<v Speaker 1>doctor had sort.

0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 3>Of wonder about there it is y yeah, well, and

0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 3>I do remember this about these scenes, which is how

0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 3>frustrated I was, because it was always I would be

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 3>sobbing and Billy would be like, are you okay? I'm sorry,

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 3>and I'd be talking and sobbing, and I was like,

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.400
<v Speaker 3>this feels really unfair, like the division of paper doesn't uneven,

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:21.920
<v Speaker 3>and I'm crying and saying all the lines and he

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 3>just goes, you have people, okay, blah blah blah black

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 3>crack cracker bla.

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll get through this. Yeah.

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 1>He was adoring her that she's gonna have a great Christmas,

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and she says, well, you know, I don't even have

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>money to buy gifts, and Billy's like like, sure, roommates,

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>we don't need to exchange gifts.

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.600
<v Speaker 2>I just first know, me so mad that Joe was

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 2>so blunt with Bill in the last scene and was

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 2>like made him, you know, not want to give her

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 2>this beautiful bracelet. And he's like.

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he's also trying to like walk that line because

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 1>she's saying, you know, can we can we just like

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 1>make maybe make a pact and He's like, sure, let's

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>make a pact and we don't need to exchange gifts,

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and they shake hands. They shake hands on this pact

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's just trying to do the right thing. But

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.880
<v Speaker 1>it's you the scene ended with such a sweet look

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on his face. He's really not sure that he likes

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:15.879
<v Speaker 1>that outcome. No, he doesn't.

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 3>I think it's crushed him basically.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, show ain't over.

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's keep going.

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:28.200
<v Speaker 1>So back at the hospital at night, Michael and doctor

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Kimberly Shaw and doctor Levin are out of surgery where

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they're discussing the young boy who was shot and sadly

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:39.679
<v Speaker 1>has not survived, and Michael, they're all very upset, so heavy,

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>just the senselessness of the boy's death and it's Christmas Eve, especially,

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:45.879
<v Speaker 1>how on earth are these parents are going to be

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 1>able to endure this news? And doctor Levin says that

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Michael needs to be the one to tell the parents

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>that their son has died.

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Michael was not expecting that he was.

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 1>He was not him to tell him the grown and

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 1>doctor Shaw can really offers to go with Michael to

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>deliver this news and be there for that, and doctor

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Levin stops her and says, nope, Michael needs to do

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>this on his own. So he very carefully approaches the

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 1>parents of the young boy. They're anxiously waiting for news,

0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and he gently tells him that their son did not survive.

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:21.080
<v Speaker 1>He had traumatic injuries, and he's terribly sorry but they

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>just could not save him. And the mother just dissolved

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 1>into sacks. Chris was just so good and it's Christmas Eve,

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just all all awful.

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So Michael then goes back to doctor Levin, who tells Michael, well,

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>brace yourself because tomorrow is Christmas and at the hospital

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we have our own set of traditions. Christmas Day statistically

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>holds the greatest number of murders, suicide and accidents, and

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>he finishes with Merry Christmas. Doctor. So just dread very

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>different look at Christmas.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Happiness of the show. You know again, they wrote this

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and took it on and it's green it.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 1>And by contrast, yeah, exactly, because then the contrast as

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>we go back to the courtyard and it's now Christmas

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>morning and Billy is stringing Christmas lights on the balcony railing.

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.680
<v Speaker 1>When Joe opens her permit door to get her newspaper,

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 1>beautiful blue robe, so very pretty blue silk robe, and

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Billy she like looks over.

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm just like, sorry, you can read it,

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm just like, God, Joe, leave Bill alone.

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Such a nice guy.

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how long you call him Bill?

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>How do you criticize the guy for putting up Christmas lights?

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>But go ahead. She was very grinchy.

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 3>He was.

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>He was going Merry Christmas, Joe, And she's like, yes,

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>say to your branch with Jake.

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:53.359
<v Speaker 3>A lot sooner, got some sexual tension building up.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, And what are you doing? She says, I'm

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 1>just trying to make the place look a little festive

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, it's weird to in one specific

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>day to hang these twinkly lights and spread peace and

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>goodwill towards all and anyway, they should have been up

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 1>by now. And she goes back in.

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Her apartner also bahumbug, super.

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Brahamba grinchy, and Billy says, Merry Christmas?

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:13.159
<v Speaker 6>Do you do?

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 2>He never says, and it's Billy Joe, No.

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 1>He does not correct her.

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 4>He's like yeah.

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>So then we're back to Billy and Allison's apartment. Billy

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is knocking on Allison's bedroom door, where she's recovering a bed,

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:35.639
<v Speaker 1>wishes her Merry Christmas and he's brought her some Christmas

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 1>movies on VCR cassette tapes, Oh My God, Miracle on

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 1>thirty four Stremmer, It's a Wonderful Life, all the classics.

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Allison says, well, don't you want to watch him with me?

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 1>And he says, well, I have to go to work,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:50.399
<v Speaker 1>got to drive the cab. Airport runs all that. They

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 1>wish each other Merry Christmas, and he leaves to go

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 1>to work, and we're sad.

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I know he's trying to navigate it all right, like

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 2>he wants to take care of you, but now he's

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:01.680
<v Speaker 2>having feelings.

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:02.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't give her the bracelet.

0:28:03.000 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 2>We're just friends.

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's Christmas. I mean, there's a lot of in earth,

0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's got to work. I mean the fact is,

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, guy's got to work, and somebody's got to

0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.919
<v Speaker 1>drive the cab on Christmas. It just happens to be

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the guy who doesn't have a family and whatever, young guy,

0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>new guy. So off he goes. And then we're back

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to the hospital. They were in the staff room and

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Michael is clearly distracted and dwelling on everything he's just

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 1>dealt with, and Kimberly comes in. She's very upbeat, asks

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael if he'll join her for a cup of eggnog

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>at the Christmas party that's happening in the lobby, and

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.320
<v Speaker 1>he says, nope, I'm not really feeling it, and that

0:28:37.359 --> 0:28:39.720
<v Speaker 1>woman who lost her child is never going to be

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:42.280
<v Speaker 1>able to not think of this on Christmas, and I

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know that I will either. So Kimberly sambers a

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and she says, well, you know, losing the

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>boy was not your fault, Michael, and you did everything

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you could. But he says that he used to believe

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:57.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing bad could happen on Christmas, and he used to

0:28:57.120 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>believe he had a special relationship with God, which might

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 1>have been what made him want to become a doctor,

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but now he realizes that there's no God involved, it's

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>just medicine. And Kimberly tells him don't dwell on the

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>ones you lose. You have to think about the ones

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you save at which time.

0:29:13.640 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Which is are really good surprisingly deep for this scene

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 3>when you think, yeah, how many doctors think I'll be

0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 3>able to heal people? And then they find out they

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 3>can't heal everybody. How terrifying it must be. Yeah, go

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 3>to work knowing that that's it's literally life or death,

0:29:26.360 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 3>which is obvious, I know, but it struck me in

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 3>this scene.

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but for him to be acknowledging, hey, there's you

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>know that his feeling right now is just like so devastated.

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>He's like, there's no God here, this is just medicine

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, like I've grown, you know.

0:29:40.320 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 3>There's no God and I'm not Goda, which I can't.

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, So his pageock goes off and he says

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to her, well back to the wars and now he

0:29:47.920 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>goes So back in Billy and Allison's apartment, Matt is there.

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>She is now sitting up at the kitchen table, but

0:29:55.960 --> 0:30:00.280
<v Speaker 1>she's feeling potatoes. Matt's prepping a big I love this scene.

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I loved I thought it was hilarious.

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.160
<v Speaker 1>There's this Christmas stuff everywhere.

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I love that Matt's got his little cooking towel and

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>you sitting there with that turkey. I just there's something

0:30:10.440 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 2>about these group stuff and making the food, and I

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 2>just love how the sets and the props so just

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 2>they fill it all out, you know, you really feel again,

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I can see how the audience wanted to be there.

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 2>They wanted to live in Melrose Place.

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, things like this. It's not the other stuff.

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:29.560

<v Speaker 3>to the how I felt it. But also I'm just

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:38.160

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 3>No, but I can myself. I know how I felt

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:47.280

<v Speaker 1>We have to make we have to make the cranberry

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 1>sauce from the can. My mother would never have done

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>this stuff from the Can's Matt, who's here making it,

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:30.520
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, all right, well, then maybe we'll just

0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:33.000
<v Speaker 1>have to not make the homemade pie crust from scratch.

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>But it's them that, like the both of them realized,

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>she's how did our mothers do that?

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, And by the way, Alison's sitting there because

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.520
<v Speaker 2>of the you know, the fibroids and all that, and

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to say exactly help it. I don't

0:31:44.400 --> 0:31:46.360
<v Speaker 2>want to say it. I want to just go fibroid

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>and that's that. Uh. But I just feel like she's

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.440
<v Speaker 2>not even gonna, you know, to pin that much.

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>She's unable.

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Well it's hard because she can only get so close

0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 3>to the table because of the huge uterus. Well this

0:31:58.120 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 3>is what.

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>This is why if you don't say it, daf Courtney's

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>going to come on, kids, this is why. Also he's saying, Okay,

0:32:12.560 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 1>while you're sitting there, you stuff it. You can do

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>this is something you can do. I'll do everything else

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's gonna he's gonna run into his apartment

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and start the supple a that he's going to come

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.520
<v Speaker 1>back and he'll load the bird when she's done stuffing it.

0:32:23.800 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>So like he gives her tasks that she can do

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 1>for pre seated position.

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 3>One quick question in the beginning, He's going, so it

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 3>takes this long to cook. I'm like, are you guys

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 3>just looking that up now? Like couldn't you have checked

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:37.120
<v Speaker 3>me yesterday? Like didn't your mom step five in the

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 3>morning to put the burden? That's what I remember, Yeah,

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 3>well engineer it.

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:44.960
<v Speaker 2>My first thought was, and I'm don't really cook that much,

0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 2>but it was like they're nowhere near They're not going

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:51.080
<v Speaker 2>to be eating until nowhere at midnight, right, is that right?

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Like everything's just getting started, and now they got to

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:55.120
<v Speaker 2>do homemade cranberry and now they got.

0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>To take the homemade stuff at all. Are not going

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>to be ready? And I do cook, and I know

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Courtney cooks too. This is none of this is going

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>to happen on time. If you're going to make it

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 1>all home made in.

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Your very Sauce should be done, yes, yeah, bread should

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 3>be crescent rolls.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>The turkey should be stuffed. Yes, everything should be prepped yep,

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the crust, yep, everything. So anyway we can see that's

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 1>not gonna happen. But we we go back to Joe

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>knocking on Jake's door and she's holding a wrapped Chriss gift,

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 1>telling Jake that it's saw you know, just something to

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>stick under that monster tree. And Jake smiles, inviting her

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:32.880
<v Speaker 1>into the apartment so we can give her her gift,

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:36.320
<v Speaker 1>but she says, nope, I'm now, I'll pick it up later,

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and she turns to leave. He stops her and says, hey,

0:33:38.640 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 1>what what why? You don't need to run, And Joe says,

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like spending Christmas alone. I didn't travel three

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand miles to leave one controlling man just to fall

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 1>into the arms of another one.

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 3>And I was so glad that you had that line

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 3>because I was thinking, why are you not? Like we've

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 3>seen the kiss, why are you not? And I feel

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 3>like it's kind of that that, like you kind of

0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 3>went back and forth and back and forth and find

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 3>we know why. Yeah, well that's why she's resisting because

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 3>the audience myself included her going what why would you

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.240
<v Speaker 3>stop that kiss?

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 1>You're right, it did offer necessary exces.

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.840
<v Speaker 2>It's another crumb. She left a you know, controlling man,

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 2>and she's not going to be controlled.

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, it's all starting.

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:21.879
<v Speaker 2>To explain why she's been so like uptight and mean,

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 2>especially to.

0:34:22.800 --> 0:34:24.480
<v Speaker 1>And she doesn't want to rush into it. She just

0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:27.320
<v Speaker 1>got here. But he encourages her to come in, saying

0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>he makes kill her eggnog and he has a copy

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of Elvis Sings Christmas that he hasn't played for ten years.

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Come on, and she reluctantly agrees to stay, saying, well,

0:34:35.719 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I hate eggnog, but I'm a sucker for Elvis.

0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:40.839
<v Speaker 2>So I love her boundaries court and I love how

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 2>strong they are, don't you?

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, really aggressive. It's like an iron wall.

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Literally ten seconds later with the mention of Elvis.

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh, did you say?

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 5>All right, okay, Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 5>to know are you as Charlotte. In nineteen ninety seven,

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:04.920
<v Speaker 5>my life was forever changed when I took on the

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:08.839
<v Speaker 5>role of Charlotte Yorke on a new HBO show called.

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:09.400
<v Speaker 6>Sex and the City.

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 5>As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.759
<v Speaker 5>in new York City. The show helped push once unacceptable

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 5>conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

0:35:21.680 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 5>around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 5>as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 6>Now I want to connect with you and.

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Share untold stories and all the behind the scenes together

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:35.760
<v Speaker 5>with special guests.

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:37.879
<v Speaker 6>What will begin with sex and the City.

0:35:37.760 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 5>Will evolve into talks about themes that are still so

0:35:40.920 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 5>relevant today. Are You a Charlotte is a much more

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:48.280
<v Speaker 5>than just rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past

0:35:48.320 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 5>and the present together as we talk with heart, humor,

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 5>and of course some optimism. Listen to Are You a

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 5>Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you.

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:00.839
<v Speaker 6>Get your podcasts.

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.359
<v Speaker 1>So back at the hospital in the hallway at night,

0:36:05.400 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>there's a pregnant woman very much in labor, rolling into

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the hospital and a gurneyon and very serious labor. Michael's

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:14.600
<v Speaker 1>hurrying alongside, and the woman's husband saying that her water broke.

0:36:14.880 --> 0:36:17.320
<v Speaker 1>They were at Christmas dinner, but their obi is in Hawaii.

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Nobody to deliver this baby. Kimberly rushes in, saying and Michael,

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the chief resident, is in surgery. We're gonna have to

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>wait until he's out to deliver this baby. And the

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 1>woman says, I can't wait, and Michael says, all right,

0:36:29.080 --> 0:36:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I can be the one. I can deliver this baby.

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:32.879
<v Speaker 1>And all right, you go get prepped for delivery. And

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>as the patient is wheeled away, Michael suddenly becomes a

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 1>little less confident and he turns to Kimberly and he says, hey,

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:41.320
<v Speaker 1>have you ever delivered a baby? And she's like, what

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you No, have you? And he admits actually he's only

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>assisted and observed, but never actually delivered one. But he

0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>grabs Kimberly's arm and pulled her along, saying, don't worry,

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll figure it out. And together they go through the

0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>double doors labeled maternity and they're gonna do this.

0:36:57.080 --> 0:37:00.680
<v Speaker 3>And how full of dread were you? You're like, oh god, oh,

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.600
<v Speaker 3>because of the last scene. I was so full of dread.

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I was like, please don't do this to me again.

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I barely recovered from the gunshot wound. Oh.

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:13.360
<v Speaker 1>So we're back at Jake's apartment where he's adding a

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>little uh nutmeg to his eggnog.

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 3>A little spice, a little spice.

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe's wondering a little spice to his lady, yeah, which

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>she said she didn't like, but maybe, oh, who care?

0:37:26.560 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 2>I like it now.

0:37:29.280 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 1>She's very mushy washy, but go on. And she's wondering

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>why Christmas is the only holiday with Carol's, which I

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.760
<v Speaker 1>thought was so funny. And Jake's like, well, what Elvis

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:41.440
<v Speaker 1>sings Easter? I don't think so, And Joe says she

0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:44.440
<v Speaker 1>really loves the CD, which I'm sure you noticed now

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that it's twenty twenty four and those music rights are

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>not there. This was not Elvis playing over the scene, Yes,

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and I heard it. I mean it probably was in

0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:58.480
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety two because they had limited, you know, rights

0:37:58.520 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to use this song for the scene, and now they

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 1>don't so for streaming. Like now that we have these

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 1>things around DVDs and they're streaming and stuff, those music

0:38:07.400 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 1>rights are all changed. So I think a lot of

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:12.840
<v Speaker 1>our original music has been replaced for the streaming versions

0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:13.760
<v Speaker 1>of what we're all watching.

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh stuff.

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:18.719
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't ever remembered that, but the minute you said that,

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought, oh, it didn't sound like Elvis.

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't gess it wasn't Elvis. But that's the version

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that we're watching today. But I think in nineteen ninety

0:38:26.880 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>two it was probably an Elvis Christmas song because that

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:31.400
<v Speaker 1>was a whole story point, right, But you would have

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:33.640
<v Speaker 1>heard about that if it wasn't right. It was a

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>whole story point. He said, you know, I've got the CD,

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, great, I'm in Yeah. So anyway, he

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>then one step find out why were you even such

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of her to run off earlier when I blocked your getaway?

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And she says, you know, it's just I just have

0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:51.800
<v Speaker 1>bad associations with Christmas, my husband and his dreadful family.

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And he says, well, I think you just need to

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 1>find new meaning in Christmas. And so yeah, he says

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:01.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not so easy, and he says, why does it

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>have to be so complicated? I have found a new meaning,

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and he then you know, turns into them there, pulls

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>her up from the couch. They start dancing to the

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Christmas music. Pretty soon they're kissing, and Joe forgets everything

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:18.239
<v Speaker 1>she was saying. She says, it up, it doesn't matter

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>what I was saying is now relevant.

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Forget what I said about the controlling whatever, and forget

0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:27.080
<v Speaker 2>about the eggnog love it and uh whatever.

0:39:27.200 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Half in his boundaries. They're very guard all.

0:39:33.160 --> 0:39:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I like kissing. So they end up on the couch

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 1>they're making out, and then Joe does stop him from

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:41.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of going any further on buttoning your top, and

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he reminds Jake that he said Elvis and egg knock

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and sort of stops him right there. And Jake says,

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>but I do know how I feel about you. I

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:53.279
<v Speaker 1>want to be with you in any way that makes

0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:57.120
<v Speaker 1>you feel comfortable. And Joe kisses him and says, just

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:00.880
<v Speaker 1>this for tonight, puts up a boundary. Jake says, well,

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of reminds me of being in the back of

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:04.960
<v Speaker 1>an old Mustang. She says, well, if you play your

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:07.640
<v Speaker 1>cards right, you might get lucky by Valentine's Day.

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 2>It's so hard to have this kind of scene with

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 2>somebody that you're not comfortable with. It's so hard to

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 2>like all the acting chops in the world, but it

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 2>really can only do it with someone that is fun.

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.279
<v Speaker 2>You're playing, you know you're playing, you're play acting at

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:24.399
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day. And so I've had these

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:26.959
<v Speaker 2>kinds of scenes with other people and it's just gets

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 2>so serious and when the chemistry's not there.

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.719
<v Speaker 1>It's so much hard. And his last line is really

0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>cute because he says, well, I kind of feel like

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm lucky right now. It's such a cute mind end

0:40:37.680 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the scene. This is the softness you guys are talking about,

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:40.319
<v Speaker 1>you know.

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, really that you're really brings out in him? So

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:43.680
<v Speaker 3>so yummy.

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah good. So then back at Allison Billy's apartment, she's

0:40:47.640 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 1>on the phone asking for Billy. She's calling the cab companies,

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 1>telling the operator you need to tell him to phone

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:55.919
<v Speaker 1>home right away, and she hangs up and tells Matt

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:58.279
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't know if Billy's coming back for Christmas dinner.

0:40:58.000 --> 0:41:00.359
<v Speaker 3>But the operator is saying he's not working. So now

0:41:00.360 --> 0:41:02.399
<v Speaker 3>we know that Billy was lying about going to work.

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>So she's admitting she's worried that Billy's trying to avoid

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.720
<v Speaker 1>her after what she said, and she's afraid she's ruined

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Billy's Christmas. Matt realizes he needs a whisk for what

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.920
<v Speaker 1>he's whipping up in the kitchen. She doesn't have one,

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>so he heads out to grab one from his apartment,

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.759
<v Speaker 1>telling Alison don't worry about Billy.

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 2>And she goes, sorry, we just have the basics, and

0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I don't know, but there's so much stuff

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:29.160
<v Speaker 2>spread everywhere and food and their plans and I'm like,

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about your basics, Allison, but they've done

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:34.120
<v Speaker 2>so much already.

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But I let no whisk his place for the whisk

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 1>he does, so, he goes outside and in the courty

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>already notices his father, Matt's father just turning to walk

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:49.239
<v Speaker 1>away from Matt's apartment door. Matt stops him and saying, hey,

0:41:49.280 --> 0:41:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just next door making dinner with friends, and

0:41:51.840 --> 0:41:55.080
<v Speaker 1>his father's really grateful when Matt invites him into his apartment.

0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:59.879
<v Speaker 1>So inside, Matt's dad compliments Matt's apartment and goes onto

0:41:59.920 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 1>a apologize to Matt for his lack of understanding of

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that work business he calls it, and that he was

0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 1>pleased to hear from Matt's mother that everything has worked

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.759
<v Speaker 1>out with his job. He says he'll always be on

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Matt's side and the last thing he wanted to do

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 1>is alienate Matt. He tells Matt that he loves him

0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:19.000
<v Speaker 1>so much and can we put this all behind us?

0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.359
<v Speaker 1>And Matt agrees to put it behind them.

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 3>It's really sweet. The dad is so vulnerable.

0:42:24.800 --> 0:42:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I love this scene and he was great in the scene.

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:30.840
<v Speaker 1>His name is James Handy, lovely actor, and he was

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:34.719
<v Speaker 1>terrific in the scene. Doug loved working with him, and

0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.479
<v Speaker 1>so they end the scene where he says to Matt

0:42:37.480 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 1>that Christmas just isn't the same without him. Wants him

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to come home to the house where his mom will

0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:43.440
<v Speaker 1>have dinner waiting, but Matt says, I'm going to make

0:42:43.440 --> 0:42:45.120
<v Speaker 1>dinner with my friends tonight, but it means a lot

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:46.839
<v Speaker 1>to me that you came. So they hug, they wish

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:47.720
<v Speaker 1>each other Marry Christmas.

0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, first they shake hands, did you notice that? I

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:52.960
<v Speaker 3>was like no? And then they pulled he turns into

0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:53.360
<v Speaker 3>a house.

0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, the exchange I love yous and Matt's dad leaves.

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Hi.

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:03.239
<v Speaker 5>I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are you

0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:06.920
<v Speaker 5>a Charlotte. In nineteen ninety seven, my life was forever

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:09.480
<v Speaker 5>changed when I took on the role of Charlotte Yorke

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:12.360
<v Speaker 5>on a new HBO show called Sex.

0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 6>And the City.

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 5>As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte navigate relationships

0:43:17.600 --> 0:43:21.040
<v Speaker 5>in New York City, the show helped push once unacceptable

0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.920
<v Speaker 5>conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative

0:43:25.000 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 5>around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:31.640
<v Speaker 5>as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships.

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:34.640
<v Speaker 5>Now I want to connect with you and share untold

0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:39.040
<v Speaker 5>stories and all the behind the scenes. Together with special guests.

0:43:39.239 --> 0:43:41.640
<v Speaker 5>What will begin with sex and the City will evolve

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:45.080
<v Speaker 5>into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:48.239
<v Speaker 5>Are You a Charlotte is a much more than just

0:43:48.400 --> 0:43:51.799
<v Speaker 5>rewatching our beloved show. It brings the past and the

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 5>present together as we talk with heart, humor, and of.

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:57.520
<v Speaker 6>Course some optimism.

0:43:57.920 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the iHeartRadio app,

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 5>Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Then we cut back to the hospital. They're in the

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.720
<v Speaker 1>delivery room and there's a newborn baby.

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank God, yes, so relieved.

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Michael is relieved and joyously holding this newborn, handing the

0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:22.719
<v Speaker 1>baby over to the mother, and Michael Kimberly happily walk

0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the delivery room and he says to Kimberly, well,

0:44:25.040 --> 0:44:29.400
<v Speaker 1>that was unbelievably beautiful. Yeah, and they both sort of

0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:31.799
<v Speaker 1>marvel at the miracle of life and Kimberly points out,

0:44:32.000 --> 0:44:34.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, do I hope you're feeling better now that

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a new life has happened, you know, so profoundly on

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 1>the same day as death. And he admits that he

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:40.759
<v Speaker 1>does feel better, but again says, you know, maybe he

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>felt the force of God was in the room. Though

0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he's never going to be able to stop trying to

0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:49.760
<v Speaker 1>control things. Then he tells Kimberly he's leading the hospital.

0:44:49.880 --> 0:44:52.839
<v Speaker 1>She says she is too, and he spontaneously says, hey,

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 1>why don't you come back to, you know, my Parma

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 1>complex for dinner, dinner at my place. It's an orphan dinner,

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 1>just all of us rootless children about families, And she

0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.839
<v Speaker 1>sort of reluctantly but then agrees to come, and she

0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 1>goes to change and she says she'll meet him in

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the parking lot.

0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 2>You know it, now that we know what Kimberly has become,

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 2>she's so It's such an innocent beginning, isn't it. He's

0:45:16.640 --> 0:45:20.400
<v Speaker 2>just invited because Jean's out of town, and she's just

0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 2>invited over this little orphan Christmas over at Melboe's place.

0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>And my god, just get right, what if? And the

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 1>two of them also have a really nice dynamic and

0:45:32.680 --> 0:45:36.440
<v Speaker 1>chemistry like speaking of because they really have, you know,

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:41.439
<v Speaker 1>a thoughtful relationship and like think about deep stuff and

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 1>the medical connections and I don't know they have they

0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.520
<v Speaker 1>have their own chemistry that's really like nice to watch

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and you can see this friendship, you know, we have

0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to just see that.

0:45:50.600 --> 0:45:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if they knew, and we have Darren on,

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:55.360
<v Speaker 3>let's ask him if they knew at this point, like

0:45:55.400 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 3>did they bring her back just to disrupt things in

0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 3>the future, because it starts off off so innocently, although

0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Thomas did tell us that they were playing the chemistry.

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Early the little flatness, yeah.

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:12.759
<v Speaker 3>As in something to keep, something to give the writer's ideas.

0:46:12.960 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well I think it was there too, just like

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just enough of an door opening as a possibility. They

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>played their scenes super lovely in this Christmas episode. Yeah,

0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 1>so we're back in the apartment. Alison and Billy's apartment

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:29.440
<v Speaker 1>is where they all the food is going to be

0:46:29.480 --> 0:46:32.239
<v Speaker 1>set out on this huge buffet, all the food that

0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>they've spent all day making. Apparently they've succeeded. It's sweet potatoes,

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:36.399
<v Speaker 1>it's rolls, it's pecan pie.

0:46:36.440 --> 0:46:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Are you wonder where they were going to eat because

0:46:39.280 --> 0:46:42.360
<v Speaker 3>all the food, there's no table with chairs. Where are

0:46:42.400 --> 0:46:43.040
<v Speaker 3>we going to eat this?

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, they've managed to pull off this giant Christmas dinner

0:46:47.680 --> 0:46:50.480
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. And Billy walks into the apartment says it

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 1>smells great and asks Alison how she's feeling. She says

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:55.840
<v Speaker 1>she's feeling much better. She says, can I talk to you?

0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And he says, actually I wanted to talk to you too.

0:46:57.920 --> 0:47:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Can we talk alone? So they go into Billy's bedroom

0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:06.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk alone and they sit down on Billy's bed

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and Allison.

0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Goes, just quickly, did you guys notice I have a

0:47:09.560 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 3>floor length velvet dress on which feels like a lot

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:16.280
<v Speaker 3>for friends, reds for dinner.

0:47:16.920 --> 0:47:20.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a very special night, very nice gown Alison's wearing.

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Was it like red velvet?

0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.040
<v Speaker 3>It's a deep red velvet.

0:47:24.120 --> 0:47:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I remember that fabric though, like that crushed velvet, crushed

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:28.959
<v Speaker 1>kind of a lure.

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Well coming back in by the way, yeah, because

0:47:31.760 --> 0:47:33.160
<v Speaker 3>it's nineties back.

0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And so Alison goes first. She apologizes to Billy about

0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:40.200
<v Speaker 1>being a bit of a bitch since she's been home,

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:44.040
<v Speaker 1>but that she appreciates everything he's been doing for her

0:47:44.080 --> 0:47:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and that she reveals that it's kind of made her nervous,

0:47:47.520 --> 0:47:49.239
<v Speaker 1>feeling like she's getting so close to him, and that

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:53.320
<v Speaker 1>needing him has started to feel scary, and she tells

0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Billy here that he is more than just someone to

0:47:56.360 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>split the rent with. He's now her best friend. And

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 1>then Billy says that the way he felt about Allison

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>when she was in the hospital surprised him too, that

0:48:07.960 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>he feels scared too about how much he cares about her.

0:48:12.200 --> 0:48:16.320
<v Speaker 1>So Alison apologizes, says, I feel bad we're not exchanging

0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:20.960
<v Speaker 1>gifts and you really deserve a great present, and Billy

0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>tells her, you know, I used to love getting gifts

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid, but nothing felt as great

0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:30.239
<v Speaker 1>as getting you this, And he jumps up and he

0:48:30.280 --> 0:48:32.040
<v Speaker 1>goes to the dresser in his room and he pulls

0:48:32.080 --> 0:48:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Allison this gift from his dresser. He's like waiting for

0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to give it to her anyway, and he's

0:48:36.719 --> 0:48:39.440
<v Speaker 1>just so happy to do it. And she opens the

0:48:39.520 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 1>bag and she sees this beautiful necklace and says, oh, Billy,

0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:45.440
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful. I don't know what to say, and he

0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 1>tells her, just say Mary Christmas, and they stand up

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:52.319
<v Speaker 1>and she says Merry Christmas, and she kisses him on

0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the cheek and they hug and it's so sweet.

0:48:55.920 --> 0:48:58.600
<v Speaker 3>I've still got to say, Allison seems dense to me.

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.240
<v Speaker 3>This is there's a jewelry box, there's a gold necklace.

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Like she's still saying you're the greatest buddy. It's like,

0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:09.160
<v Speaker 3>how are you missing? How is she this on?

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to defend Allison because Billy doesn't want her

0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to come to that conclusion just yet. He's not so sure.

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.839
<v Speaker 1>He's he hasn't committed to that conclusion right. He's still

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.799
<v Speaker 1>walking a line where he's not so sure because he's

0:49:23.800 --> 0:49:26.239
<v Speaker 1>not coming out and saying it right.

0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:30.000
<v Speaker 3>He's do you think? But everything you said about this

0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 3>scene about I'm scared of how much I need you,

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:34.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm scared of how much I love That's it could

0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:37.040
<v Speaker 3>be a romantic conversation too. I'm afraid of how much

0:49:37.080 --> 0:49:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel for you. I'm afraid of i'mu I love

0:49:38.680 --> 0:49:40.680
<v Speaker 3>you like it's just right.

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.439
<v Speaker 2>It's because you have a history together already, and it's

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>just friends, and that's more awkward than just you know,

0:49:46.120 --> 0:49:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Jake and Joe meet each other and there's chemistry and

0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:50.480
<v Speaker 2>they're both single.

0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 1>But uh, maybe that's your issue.

0:49:54.520 --> 0:49:55.839
<v Speaker 2>He's not married, so you're not.

0:49:55.760 --> 0:50:00.840
<v Speaker 1>That trab Okay, that's not fair where I was going.

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:05.919
<v Speaker 2>That's nut, that's but I just feel like I feel

0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:08.880
<v Speaker 2>for you guys, because there's a history and there's a comfortability,

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.719
<v Speaker 2>and there's a just a history of friends and it's

0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:13.440
<v Speaker 2>awkward to change it.

0:50:13.480 --> 0:50:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe.

0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:16.520
<v Speaker 3>But also I know you were kidding with the married

0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:19.120
<v Speaker 3>but what what that did spark something for me, which

0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:22.879
<v Speaker 3>is he is emotionally available for her, and that's very

0:50:22.920 --> 0:50:27.400
<v Speaker 3>scary for Allison, so she will choose the unavailable guy.

0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:29.120
<v Speaker 3>So I think you were actually onto something.

0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, But what we've seen in the scene from what

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they both said, they're both feeling the same thing and

0:50:34.160 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 1>they're both revealing it to each other in this moment.

0:50:36.920 --> 0:50:38.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it was a very long kiss on his cheek.

0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, feeling things that scare them and we all know

0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what those feelings are. Yes. So they leave to go

0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:49.360
<v Speaker 1>back to the kitchen and the living room for the food,

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 1>and Joe and Jake are entering the apartment with a

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:55.919
<v Speaker 1>bowl of eggnog saying, ah, this delicious smell was driving

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:57.920
<v Speaker 1>us nuts, and Matt says the turkey might be a

0:50:57.960 --> 0:50:59.560
<v Speaker 1>little dry. He had to nuke it to get it

0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:04.280
<v Speaker 1>done on time. Billy says, I hate eggnog, and Jake laughs,

0:51:04.280 --> 0:51:08.600
<v Speaker 1>saying you're gonna love this eggnog. And Joe wants to

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:11.360
<v Speaker 1>know how Alison's doing. She says much better, and she

0:51:11.560 --> 0:51:14.960
<v Speaker 1>shows than the necklace that Billy just gave her. Joe

0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:18.920
<v Speaker 1>here just rolls her eyes and walks out of the shot.

0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:21.959
<v Speaker 1>But she goes up to Billy with a cup of eggnog. Yeah,

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:24.279
<v Speaker 1>And this is where he just quietly tells Joe, you know,

0:51:24.320 --> 0:51:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the necklace was a token of friendship, and Joe says,

0:51:27.320 --> 0:51:29.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, it's just a token of friendship, and that's

0:51:29.560 --> 0:51:34.799
<v Speaker 1>exactly what you get in return. Ah, She sticks it

0:51:34.800 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 1>to him there bills him, and then Michael and Kimberly

0:51:38.080 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 1>come into the apartment. Michael introduces her as his colleague, saying,

0:51:41.160 --> 0:51:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Kimberly and I made a baby together. And then off

0:51:44.000 --> 0:51:46.920
<v Speaker 1>of everyone's stunned faces, he says, I mean we delivered

0:51:46.920 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 1>a baby together. It was our first one.

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 3>It was amazing, And if Allison wasn't so high on painkillers,

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:55.600
<v Speaker 3>she would have said, we only have enough for the guests.

0:51:55.600 --> 0:51:59.879
<v Speaker 1>We invite it, and we only made a few.

0:52:00.680 --> 0:52:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel so protective of Jane. Don't you guys feel

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:04.759
<v Speaker 2>protective of Jane?

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 1>When he says I got I feel like she's kind

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of left out of this. This is such a lovely party, and.

0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:11.760
<v Speaker 2>She's really getting married, probably in real life, but still,

0:52:11.800 --> 0:52:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I like, get Jane, get back here.

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Something's happening. And Billy tells everyone, let everybody go outside.

0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I've got a big surprise before dinner. So they go

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:22.120
<v Speaker 1>out into the courtyard. Everybody's got their cups of eggnog,

0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:25.080
<v Speaker 1>and Billy tells everyone to look up, and he plugs

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:28.080
<v Speaker 1>in the Christmas lights and the whole courtyard lights up

0:52:28.080 --> 0:52:32.200
<v Speaker 1>with beautiful colored lights everywhere, and it's lovely and there's

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a Christmas music underneath the scene, and Joe says, wait, wait, wait,

0:52:35.160 --> 0:52:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to make a toast, and she raises her

0:52:37.160 --> 0:52:40.719
<v Speaker 1>glass and she says, you know, I always thought that

0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:43.160
<v Speaker 1>friends were people that you meet in high school or college.

0:52:43.160 --> 0:52:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I never expected to meet them in an apartment building

0:52:45.840 --> 0:52:48.360
<v Speaker 1>like this. She says she never thought she'd be the

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:50.600
<v Speaker 1>one to discover the meaning of Christmas, but now she

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:54.080
<v Speaker 1>realizes that she is living this Christmas spirit and it's

0:52:54.120 --> 0:52:56.680
<v Speaker 1>all are you about to crack up? It's something funny

0:52:56.800 --> 0:53:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to you about her saying this, No, I'm telling you.

0:53:00.520 --> 0:53:00.840
<v Speaker 2>You're like.

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Then she's like, are you kidding me? I just think

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it's so sweet and likely, like he's tell her Charlie

0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Brown waiting. Yeah, she's having the epiphany moment. You're like,

0:53:17.960 --> 0:53:18.759

0:53:20.000 --> 0:53:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Daphne's body, Oh my god, you laughing at her.

0:54:37.640 --> 0:54:40.200

<v Speaker 1>and Allison stays back to and she goes to stand

0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And Alison wishes Billy a merry Christmas and again kisses

0:54:53.320 --> 0:54:56.239
<v Speaker 1>him very sweetly on the cheek, and he puts his

0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:59.160
<v Speaker 1>arm around her, and they go back into their apartment together,

0:54:59.200 --> 0:55:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and the camera pulls back with a wide shot at

0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:04.239
<v Speaker 1>this beautiful Mary courtyard.

0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:08.600
<v Speaker 3>I love the lights of all year. We did lights

0:55:08.680 --> 0:55:10.799
<v Speaker 3>on the tree in front of our house A few

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:13.359
<v Speaker 3>years ago and just kept them up. Yeah, were they

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:17.960
<v Speaker 3>colored or were they white? Well, they started out white

0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and now they're kind of white and gold. Because as

0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 3>lights go out and you have to replace them, you

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 3>can never do an exact match. So I'm pretending they're

0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:26.800
<v Speaker 3>supposed to be. I'm saying it was a conscious choice

0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:30.399
<v Speaker 3>why there's different shades of white, But it actually is

0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:32.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty and I don't want to throw away lights that

0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 3>are still good because of the waste, So I'm like,

0:55:34.600 --> 0:55:35.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm just going to go with it.

0:55:35.920 --> 0:55:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I like lights that are I think that's perfectly appropriate.

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:41.560
<v Speaker 2>If there're anytime anyone wants to leave any light up,

0:55:41.600 --> 0:55:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that's fine. But the white ones I think are really great.

0:55:44.480 --> 0:55:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I've seen inside too.

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:48.239
<v Speaker 3>I know people that yes so on their railings.

0:55:48.640 --> 0:55:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it are great. Well, this was a very

0:55:51.640 --> 0:55:54.360
<v Speaker 1>festive Christmas episode. It sort of felt like one of

0:55:54.400 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 1>these things that you should watch if and people our

0:55:57.680 --> 0:56:00.480
<v Speaker 1>audience are listeners to our podcast, If you didn't actually

0:56:00.600 --> 0:56:03.279
<v Speaker 1>watched the Melrose Christmas episode, you should. And it's one

0:56:03.320 --> 0:56:05.319
<v Speaker 1>of these things I think people can go to, you

0:56:05.320 --> 0:56:07.360
<v Speaker 1>know how people have their go to Christmas movies, like

0:56:07.880 --> 0:56:12.840
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, it almost feels like This episode of Melrose

0:56:12.920 --> 0:56:14.600
<v Speaker 1>is one of those where you get your ups and

0:56:14.600 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 1>your downs and your bittersweets, you might have like you

0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>feel a little teary at some point, and then it

0:56:18.520 --> 0:56:21.359
<v Speaker 1>ends on just such a like warm Christmas. That's how

0:56:21.360 --> 0:56:22.400
<v Speaker 1>this episode feels to me.

0:56:23.000 --> 0:56:26.279
<v Speaker 3>They did a good job servicing all the characters right,

0:56:26.360 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 3>like we all. Every single character had something interesting to do,

0:56:30.160 --> 0:56:32.000
<v Speaker 3>which is not easy to do with so many cast

0:56:32.040 --> 0:56:35.600
<v Speaker 3>members except Josie who maybe is doing something interesting somewhere else.

0:56:35.760 --> 0:56:41.240
<v Speaker 3>But and then Ronda went skiing and she still.

0:56:41.440 --> 0:56:45.240
