Speaker 4: Uh.

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: We we try to get in depth with our what

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: I like to call PSC or pre show chatter, and

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: today's PSC is going to be no different because this

13
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: is one that sparked a conversation at dinner the other

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: night that then brought waiters and everybody else into the conversation.

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: So I'd like to bring this to my two best friends,

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: but they're out of town this week, so I'm bringing

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: thank you very much.

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: He got me, You got me.

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: was his name. O is Bingo the farmer or the dog?

21
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 5: Oh?

22
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: It's the dog.

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: But it starts there was a farmer you had a

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: dog and Bingo was his name. O.

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: So isn't the song about the farmer? Yeah, I'm going farmer.

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: I think it's still the dog. I mean, Bingo is.

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: The name for a dog. But then where everybody's name

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 4: was like Michael and Bob.

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: But That's my question then is is would the whole

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: song then change if it was there was a farmer

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: who had a dog and John was his name, o,

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: then is it clearly about the farmer and is just

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: changing the name then changed the whole who the song

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: is about. That's that's what the question, because then another

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: waiter would walk by and be like, no, it's got

36
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: to be the dog.

37
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: And then I mean, I just, I just somebody has

38
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: to like open a place called like Bingo's farm, right,

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: and it's the name of the farmer. The farmer is

40
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: the farmer, Like, I think it's the farmer too, a

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 4: dude named Bingo, Like that's and I feel.

42

Speaker 2: Like this farmer now for what one hundred years, has

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: been like wait.

44

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,160

140
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,400

00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: show on our backstage and all of that, and then

145
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 4: kind of disappeared and we didn't see her for a

146
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: long time until she came back to direct.

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: To this, which sucks because she was like one of

148
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: the first people I met when I came out here

149
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800

151
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: Michael and everyone else involved in the decision making was

152
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: really good about giving people an opportunity to direct on

153
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: this show. Yeah, we've talked about Rusty directing. We've talked

154
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: about you know, Fred. He gave Fred his first opportunity

155
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: to direct Lynn, Steve Hayfer, So, you know.

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: And I feel like these last couple of seasons we

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: had a lot of first time directors, a lot of

158
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 4: actors trying it out or people that were in other positions.

00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: for twenty two minutes.

237
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you kind of had to let everything else go. Yeah,

238
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,520

239
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,040

246
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Like there's.

247
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: Not much story, Like I don't care about Sean and Angelo.

248
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm one half of that couple, and I

249
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 4: just didn't care.

250
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: But I like seeing they've let it go and Dan'll

251
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: have fun.

252
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: They're too long, who cares the story?

253
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: All?

254
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: Both stories were just kind of like, really, is this

255
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: even a story? How does Eric?

256
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 4: Like Eric doesn't just he doesn't really change that much,

257
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 4: like you have this monologue to God.

258
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: But I was like, but you've already You're already doing all.

259
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: The right stuff, Like I know, Eric's already got a

260
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: heart of gold, Like he doesn't need to learn anything.

261
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 2: He's not being mean to anything. None of these and

262
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: Sean and Angela do love each other, so there's no conflict.

263
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it was a nice vibe, like

264
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: you want.

265
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: Next to a Christmas tree?

266
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with that, I know, I agree with both

267
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: of you. I didn't even allow myself to overanalyze anything

268
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: pertaining to the story. I just went right, we need

269
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: to have this conversation about what's going to happen now

270
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: that we know that Sean and Angela both love each other. Still.

271
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 3: I find it shocking, truly that that Sean still doesn't

272
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: know what he what he wants.

273
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 4: And nonsense, it's nonsense theater.

274
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I think I know, but I think I know the

275
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: reason why they're doing it, and I think we get

276
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: to it later and they allude to it at the

277
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: beginning where he says, your dad's disappeared again, that Sean.

278
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 4: Lean into it, have seans some of thatship because and

279
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: instead it's just they do eventually.

280
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: Also, I would love to know a little bit more

281
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: about what does cause him fear. Does he think he's

282
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: going to be like his dad and he's gonna always leave?

283
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: Because honestly, he's been nothing but present in He's always

284
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: been in greed we have, He's never gone anywhere much

285
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: to right or Strong's dism He write me off this

286
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: show when they're like you are loyal, so you know,

287
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: like he's not going anywhere?

288
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: Well you did you do all the time and doing

289
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: all that stuff.

290
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I.

291
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: Should just be me like running my hands in my hair, angsty.

292
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm not saying anything. My character stands for nothing. It's

293
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: so weird.

294
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: We've also said this We've brushed on this a number

295
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: of times, but I'd like to once again point.

296
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 5: Out Trina is really good, so great.

297

00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,360

300
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,720

00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: we are just dying.

320
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: With Ben and I in the student union when we

321
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: realize and he snaps and I stand up. I remember

322
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: those moments of us just playing like and and it

323
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: is so much fun because the mind meld that writer

324
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: you and Ben had, Ben and I also had from

325
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: being in all the you know, all the when you

326
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: think about how funny it is that I do really

327
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: think all those storylines of angsty relationship Corey into Penga

328
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: stuff bonded us as people, not even just the characters,

329
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: but they It bonded us in a way that we

330
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 3: had a shorthand. Yeah, and it was so much fun.

331
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: It was so much fun to watch.

332
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 4: It is really nice to have Corey and Tapanga played

333
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: for comedy. I to have that you guys doing hijinks

334
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 4: and like having your own it's a very Corey Shawan

335
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 4: dynamic finally.

336
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: And you know, it's it's really nice to see it.

337
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

338
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: I've had this shift though that I think is going

339
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: to affect the rest of my rewatching the episodes, which

340
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: is I'm not really watching it as a TV show anymore.

341
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm watching it as us working together, right, And so

342
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the changes in us as people and the

343
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: little mouth turns that rider does that I recognize from

344
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: one hundred feet away, and us ad libbing and us

345
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: having fun, and it kind of I'm like just watching

346
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: the show differently. And so this last night finished, and

347
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: your rider your one hundred percent right, Like nothing happened

348
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: at all, really, and.

349
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 5: I just didn't care anymore.

350
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just didn't care. It was fun for me

351
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: to watch you all and together.

352
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: And that's so I have officially entered the Danielle as

353
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: dating Lance Era and so for all for the next

354
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, you'll probably see a

355
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: really happy, like giddy Danielle. Yeah, unless it unless the

356
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 3: episode calls for something else, you'll probably see a really like.

357
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 7: I don't know, sexually frustrated, like six or seven months

358
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 7: and you're gonna start seeing confused Danielle.

359
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: You know the truth I said this though. The truth

360
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: of that was I probably would have been more of

361
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: that had I also not been such a late bloomer

362
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: that the safety of that was perfectly fine for me.

363
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: I was, like I was, I was perfectly comfortable. Did

364
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: it eventually confuse me? Yeah? Maybe I was a little confused.

365
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: I remember having a couple of conversations with you about that.

366
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like also it was okay, it was okay.

367
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: So anyway, okay, here we are jumping into our recap.

368
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: We start in the student Union, We've got a Christmas episode.

369
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: Pay is singing, Oh come ye faithful in Latin.

370
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: And Latin lat. Can't just be going to be singing

371
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: in Latin Latin.

372
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 3: Gleefully places a tiny Christmas tree near Jack and Rachel. Also,

373
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 3: Rachel is wearing a shirt that reads snow Bunny.

374
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: Does it really that.

375
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: It says snow bunny?

376
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: Snow across the chest?

377
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: Get back to, get back to, get back to. That's

378
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: where all the hot women are, That's where they are.

379
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 2: Gotta get him on the got to get him on

380
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: the slopes.

381
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: And oh my god, my brain is now such officially

382
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: not seeing stuff like that anymore, Like I can't, I

383
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: can't see it anymore.

384
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 3: Jack asks what he's doing, and Phoene explains that one

385
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: of his favorite duties his high school principal was overseeing

386
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: holiday decoration. You know, when you when you apply for

387
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 3: a job as a principle, one of the first things

388
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: ask you is to see your look book, your holiday.

389
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: Christmas Christmas. Plus you said duties, which is great duties.

390
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: So he's carrying on the tradition here. Rachel admires the

391
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: tree until someone dismissively plucks it off the table. It's

392
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 3: the janitor, and he threw it into the trash bin.

393
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: Phoene asks what he's doing, and the janitor calmly responds,

394
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: university policy. Happy enough, denominational holidays.

395
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: It's a war on Christmas joke.

396
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: They would let us say Christmas. They're taking the bike

397
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: at a Christmas defeated Phoene asks Jack and Rachel if

398
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: they're going home for the holidays, and Rachel says no,

399
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: and Jack says he was supposed to meet his parents

400
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: in the Bahamas, but somehow the airlines messed up his ticket,

401
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: which means he's stuck there. Then Santa bursts through the door.

402
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas. Though it's pretty obvious. He

403
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: pulls his beard down to reveal his face. It's me.

404
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: It's Eric, Me. Phoene plays along and genuinely admires Eric's

405
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: holiday spirit, but Eric reveals his true motive. What I

406
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: got is twelve dollars an hour and a fifteen percent

407
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: discount at Stucky's department store, and a job where I

408
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: get to sit on my butt all day. Hey, it's

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: kind of like your job. Phoene stares at him wide eyed.

410
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: Twelve dollars an hour, I wish, then he walks away

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: in a huff. Eric tells Jack and Rachel that he

412
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: has gifts. He signed them up to dress up for

413
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: the holidays just like him. He flirtatiously hands Rachel a

414
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: Santa hat missus Claws, then he aggressively throws a green

415
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: pointy hat at Jack elf boy. Rachel is ecstatic. She

416
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: planned on spending Christmas depressed over her ex boyfriend, but

417
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: now she gets to be missus claws. Jack waves his

418
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: hat in Eric's face. I'm not going to be an elf.

419
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: I was depressed about not going to the Bahamas. This

420
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: green pointy hat is really going to push me over

421
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: the edge.

422
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 4: So that raised the second family Bahamas trip that she

423
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: has not been able to go on.

424
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: Correct because he says Family the Bahamas and Rachel cannot

425
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: get over her boyfriend. She it's like, at some point,

426
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: you're like, dude, it is now six years. Seriously, Kay,

427
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to be you really you were going to

428
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: spend with your ex boyfriend.

429
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: It does that.

430
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know we don't know how long they were together,

431
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: do we. I'm sure we said please don't send us

432
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: your emails. I'm sure they said it.

433
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 5: We do know.

434
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: I just tell her they did. I don't think they did.

435
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: It was thirty years.

436
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 2: That's what.

437
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 3: Half the time, half the time, half the length of

438
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: time you're together. That's how it takes to go.

439
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: Is that how long it takes?

440
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: That's what they say.

441
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: So if you were together, who are they? The first

442
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: thing I would ask?

443
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: It's they and and I don't know, but they know

444
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: it and it's right.

445
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: Was the thing you said?

446
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: The best way to get over somebody is to get

447
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: under somebody else. That help speed it up. If you

448
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: do that, it's like half that time. So it's a

449
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: half life. It's like six months.

450
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: My god, I don't understand the math.

451
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: I'm just waking it up as I go, based on

452
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: based on what they say.

453
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 2: It seems scientific.

454
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: But Rachel convinces him it'll be fun. She puts the

455
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: hat on his head and giggles about how cutie looks

456
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: once she walks away. Eric Thomson, plus, you're only going

457
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: to be making like five bucks an hour. Jack wonders

458
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 3: why he's getting ripped off, and Eric points out the obvious.

459
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm saying, you're just an helf read your Bible. Whenever

460
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 3: we make a joke about the Bible, it's so funny

461
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: it works. Yeah, writers reading the Bible as Sean wat

462
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: a Bible.

463
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: Corey grabbing it next to the to the stand, but

464
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: when he's going to have sex for the first time. Yeah,

465
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: I just reading this book like it just always works.

466
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Jokes on one joke but gets another.

467
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you very much, thank you.

468
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: They all leave just as Corey and Sean are walking

469
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 3: in mid lecture, Sean adding a purple scarf to his

470
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 3: leather jacket. Corey is asking his best friend, the dorms

471
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: are closed. Your father's missing again. Real throwaway line there,

472
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 3: just toss that in. Why wouldn't you come to my

473
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: house for Christmas? Sean says it's because he hates being

474
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: the third wheel, but Corey points out he's been the

475
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: third wheel with him and Tapanga for so long he

476
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: thinks of them as a tricycle at this point. Without

477
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 3: their third wheel, what would they be?

478
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 8: Sean responds, A bicyclecle a little optic of your mouth.

479
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: You.

480
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: Sean agrees to go with Corey and thanks him for

481
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 3: the offer, then to Panga and Angela walk in to

482
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: Panga and Sean say hello, leaving him face to face

483
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 3: with Angela. They give each other an awkward embrace, and

484
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: Sean leaves, and Angela warns Topanga, maybe you should ask

485
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: Corey if it's okay for me to hang out with

486
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 3: you guys this Christmas. Topanga reminds her that since they

487
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: are engaged, Corey's family is her family. Plus Angela's dad

488
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: is stationed halfway around the world, so she can't spend

489
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 3: Christmas alone.

490
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: Is this inviting?

491
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 3: I knows. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, it was like,

492
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: this is just as bad as Tapega was for the

493
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 3: Topanga Christmas episode.

494
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: Serious, I'm just going to.

495
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: They're my family now we are engaged, but this is

496
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: the first time we mentioned that Angela's dad is in

497
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: the service, right, Okay, so this is planting a seed

498
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 3: so she can't spend Christmas alone. Angela agrees to spend

499
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: the holiday with them. Thankful for the offer, she leaves

500
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: to pack her bags and Corey runs up, excited to

501
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: give to Panga the news there's a change of plans

502
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 3: and their first Christmas is an engaged couple. He explains,

503
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: since Sean's bunking in my room. Then he does a

504
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 3: weird thrusting move and says, oh.

505
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: I was a fifty times because just he does like

506
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: two shoulder things and then goes back to the sex

507
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: is even just the way he says sex. It is

508
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: such a great comedy. Beele, God, it's funny.

509
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: It's so funny, and so I'm sexy in the funniest

510
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: way possible.

511
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: He was so much, so much fun.

512
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 3: To Benga, somehow unmoved by the thrusting, focuses on the

513
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: fact that he invited Sean and she invited Angela. Corey shouts,

514
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: who said you could invite Angela? Valid? Cool question?

515
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: Thank you, valid question. It's my family.

516
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 3: Now she's gonna kill me to Pega starts to freak

517
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 3: out as well, but then they both realize why would

518
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: Angela want to kill him and why would Sean blame her?

519
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: They both know something the other doesn't, so Tapanga convinces

520
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: him that on the count of three, they'll say that

521
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: thing aloud. They count down in unison one, two, three,

522
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 3: but Corey's the only one to blab his secret. Angela

523
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: is still in love with Sean. Corey's pissed it her

524
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: for tricking him, but Topanga is so happy to hear

525
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 3: this so funny, I hate it, Corey explains he was

526
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 3: sworn to secrecy and he needs to hear what Tapega knows.

527
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: Tapega blurts out that Seawan is also still in love

528
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: with Angela. Corey gasps yay, plus Tapega reveals that he

529
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: wrote that poem for her after they broke up. Corey

530
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: yells at another ye In response to Pega adds, the

531
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: only reason he said he was over her is because

532
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: he thought she was over him. Corey only smiles this time,

533
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 3: and Tapega wonders why didn't he say yay. Corey says

534
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to be predictable. Tapega sternly reminds him

535
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: that they can't tell Sean or Angela they know the truth,

536
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: so Corey tells her the plan they tell them. Ta

537
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: Benga lightly slaps him and makes him promise their friends

538
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: will do this on their own. Corey screams, what kind

539
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: of coka, mamie is that it's Christmas? They love each other,

540
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: they're staying at my house. This thing is out of

541
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: our hands. He's having so much fun and.

542
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: It's becoming he's like nine different people in one line.

543
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 4: I know he's an old Jewish Man's they love each

544
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 4: feminine and.

545
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: It just keeps going through all these different It's so funny.

546
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: It is just random and so Ben and God, it's funny.

547
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 3: To Penga desperately asks him, you won't interfere.

548
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 4: I'm really I really want to, like, how did this

549
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 4: translate to people? Like, because to me, it's all in jokes,

550
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 4: Like to me, I am seeing Ben as an actor.

551
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: Take you know, because these these lines are very witty,

552
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: Like the back and forth is very witty, but actually

553
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: could be played just kind of dead pan. Like the

554
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: way it's written, it's funny enough to just be like

555
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: I don't want to be predictable about but.

556
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: When Ben is doing all.

557
00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: This extra work, I feel like it's for us, yes,

558
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: And yet it must have also translated to the audience

559
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: because everyone loves his performance.

560
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: So like, yeah, it's it's because it's real because him.

561
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: I can't imagine turning on my TV and seeing this

562
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: guy without knowing it.

563
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: Like I just don't know. That must have been I'm

564
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 2: so curious what that was. Like all I see is

565
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: Ben and that's but I guess that's what was coming cross.

566
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: Like people must feel the way about Corey that we

567
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 4: do about Ben because there's all these weird little lilts

568
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: and in jokes and things, and that those layers added

569
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 4: up to it's so it's so.

570
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: Interesting, so good. It doesn't really make sense, but it's

571
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: so funny. But yeah, that's great. Though.

572
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: At some point during this Ben snaps and I jump

573
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: up like it's like a Pavlov's dog. It just it's

574
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 3: where you're where I'm supposed to be, and and and

575
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: I remember us like doing those things, and then the

576
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: way we stand up and he puts his arm around

577
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: me and he says it's way too early to tell,

578
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: and then we fall back onto the couch together. It

579
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: was just so much fun. So then we're in the

580
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: Matthews living room to Panga, Corey and Angela walk in

581
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 3: as Alan is decorating the tree. Corey admits they brought

582
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 3: a few extra people and Alan says he'll get the

583
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: sleeping bergs.

584
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: Well, thank god was still the Wilderness store from isn't

585
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: like the tree is supposed to.

586
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: Have like it's supposed to be an aluminum tree and.

587
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: Get it on Christmas Eve?

588
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: To Canada? What is it?

589
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: And then we also have like what the popcorn thing? Yes,

590
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: of course, sure you strung popcorn.

591
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: Really, I mean yeah, back in like elementary school and

592
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: stuff like, of course you'd string popcorn.

593
00:30:48,200 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's fun for the Christmas. As he leaves

594
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: the room, Sean walks in from the kitchen. He apologizes

595
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: for taking so long, and then stops in his tracks

596
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: when he sees Angela. She tries to play it off cool,

597
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: saying she didn't know he was coming. Corey tries to

598
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: explain to Pega, didn't tell me. She invited Angela and

599
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: I didn't tell her I invited Sean. Huh nutty. Angela

600
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: whispers under her breath Corey, I'm gonna kill you. Corey

601
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: assures her it was an innocent mix up and begs

602
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 3: her not to leave. Sean will think it's because of him. Meanwhile,

603
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: Sewn whispers to Tapanga through gritted teeth at the other

604
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: end of the room. I can't believe you did this

605
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: to me. Tapega responds, what do you want me to do?

606
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 3: She can't stay here because you're secretly in love with her.

607
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 3: Corey and Angela walk over, and Corey tries to make

608
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: things less awkward. We're all friends, friends who secretly love

609
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: to Pega punches him, and Corey readjusts the holidays, and

610
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: all that matters is that we're together, no matter how

611
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: we really feel about each other. To Pega punches him

612
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: again and he complains in pain. Why do you always

613
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: have to hit? This is gonna be rough, But we

614
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: see Sean and Angela both put on brave faces. Now

615
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: in the mall Santa Land, Eric's new festive seasonal gig.

616
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: He's dressed in his Santa costume, surrounded by Christmas decorations,

617
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: but playing a video game and yelling die Die Die dead. Nearby,

618
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 3: Jack is dressed as the Elf, and Rachel is in

619
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: her missus Claw's outfit.

620
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: Why couldn't we have an actual game boy? What it

621
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 4: had to be like a bizarro game boy?

622
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we probably weren't allowed to use it. Why not?

623
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: I don't know who owned Nintendo?

624
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so did that have I wonder if they just

625
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: weren't a sponsor of ABC or.

626
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you're allowed to use like

627
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: straight up. I mean, it's the same reason we couldn't

628
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: eat cheerios. We had to eat Chario's, you know, stuff

629
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: like that. So it's probably the same thing.

630
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: Jack asks Eric what he's playing. Susie shops a lot.

631
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: Jack calls him a freak, but Eric insults him back.

632
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 3: At least my shoes don't point up. Rachel chimes in,

633
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 3: if I wanted to hear two people fight for Christmas,

634
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 3: I would have spent it with my ex boyfriend. Give

635
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: you girl something else, anything, give her anything? Does she

636
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 3: not have any family? It's just the ex boyfriend is

637
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: the only person she had in her entire life.

638
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: Yep, and a snow bunny shirt.

639
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: Right, She took that well because in the future episode

640
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: she ends up marrying her.

641
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: They the ex boyfriend, so she goes back to him anyway,

642
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah really, yes? Right? Then she goes to class. She

643
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: wears robes and.

644
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: She's just snow Bunny. She has snow Bunny, and she's

645
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: obsessed a lot of death. Yeah you're talking about right.

646
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 3: Then a little boy runs up while Santa is still

647
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 3: playing his video game. Ho ho ho, Hold up one second,

648
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 3: I'm almost on level two the two while okay, Then

649
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: he screams, die die Die dead. Jack the elf suggests,

650
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 3: why don't you put the game down, Santa? Missus claws

651
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: ads there's a little boy that wants to sit on

652
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: your lap. Eric finally lifts the boy onto his lap

653
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 3: for a picture to be sent to his grandma. Then

654
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: she'll send him a check. Santa Eric suggests after she

655
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: sends the check, tell her she forgot it works every time.

656
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 3: Well there you go.

657
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Did you do you guys notice anything really weird about

658
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: the entire Santa thing?

659
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: No, not anything out of the ordinary.

660
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: They're putting kids on my lap.

661
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: She's then taking a polaroid and keeping that polaroid?

662
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: So who is the picture for.

663
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: The entire time She's like teaching smile and then then

664
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: next to her and the kid walks away.

665
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: It's like, are we.

666
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 5: Keeping these for our weard scrapbook for ourselves?

667
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: Like what is actually happening here?

668
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: They come back later when they're developed to pick them up.

669
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: They're polaroids, I know, but it takes at least a

670
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: minute and a half for a directly to hand.

671
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: The kid the polaroid. I'm like, you're going, who the

672
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 2: pictures for? The Why are we keeping these? What's happening?

673
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 3: I thought? I did think of it, and I was like, whatever.

674
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: These pictures for?

675
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: In my mind, my justification was that it was like

676
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 3: a modern day system where the you take the picture

677
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: and it prints out a copy but also a digital

678
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 3: copy gets sent, and so they're going to a digital

679
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: copy on the court. Rachel takes a picture of the

680
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: two and the little boy turns on the charm, well

681
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 3: hello missus Claus No.

682
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 9: No, and then actually sexually assaults her.

683
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 5: She grabs her butt yep, pikes.

684
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: She rolls her eyes, and as the kid leaves, he

685
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 3: pinches her butt.

686
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: Yikes.

687
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 3: She gasps at the audacity. Then the mall boss runs

688
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: up and says, a busload of kids from Saint Mary's

689
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: just arrived. They are children without parents and no money

690
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: at all, if you know what he means. The three

691
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: of them nod until the boss angrily explains they're not

692
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: going to buy anything, so get rid of them as

693
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 3: fast as you can.

694
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: Now, I this did not land, Like, this joke did

695
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 4: not work. The audience didn't laugh. Yeah, And I feel

696
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: like it's an issue of casting, Like this guy is

697
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 4: like perfectly likable, and like you you want to cast

698
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 4: somebody who's awful. Just second you see the person, you're like,

699
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 4: I don't like that guy. But this guy walks in

700
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: and you're like, oh, he's a normal mall guys. Right,

701
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 4: You're like fine, So it's like bad casting like you

702
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 4: should have cast somebody who walk in they have a

703
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 4: look on their face and they're just like, yeah, I

704
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 4: don't let you know. And because the joke just doesn't work,

705
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: you're like, you're this crasshard And.

706
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: Also any one line before this to make us not

707
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: like him, if they had just had him at the

708
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 3: top of the scene instead of it being about the

709
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 3: video game, they have him saying something nasty about the

710
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: little snotty nosed kids in the line, then the next

711
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: time you see him, you're like, oh.

712
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 2: This jerk. Yep. Yeah, orphans are very rarely funny.

713
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 3: By the way, it's a hard things.

714
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 2: It's a tough joke to break into.

715
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he spots the kids and sneers, here come the

716
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: little darlings now. He quickly puts on a smile and

717
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 3: acts like he's thrilled to see them now with their

718
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: heartstrings tugged, Santa Eric suggests they give these kids a

719
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: little extra attention. Missus Claws and the elf agree. Eric

720
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: lifts Lucy, the first little girl, onto his lap. When asked,

721
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 3: Lucy says she doesn't know what she wants for Christmas,

722
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 3: but then Lucy spots Eric's Susie shops a lot game.

723
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: Santa suggests that she might want one of those, but

724
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: Lucy seems sad. I never got anything I asked Santa for.

725
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 3: Eric Hans aer the game. I don't think you were

726
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 3: asking the right Sana. Lucy exclaims, Wow, you really are Sana.

727
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 3: She gives him a big hug, and missus Claws captures

728
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 3: the moment for him to keep forever. Once Lucy leaves,

729
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 3: Eric shows his excitement to Rachel. He really is Santa.

730
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: Jack is amazed that Lucy really believed in them. Eric admits,

731
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: I love being Santa. It's not just putting on the

732
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 3: suit and getting the superpowers and everything.

733
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: So funny. A great throw line.

734
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 3: I mean I made her happy. He's got the photo

735
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 3: to prove it.

736
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: Actually, what is this storyline? Okay, so here's the pitch, right.

737
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: The pitch was, oh my god, we gotta Eric is Sannah.

738
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: It's a Christmas episode. What are we going to do?

739
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: One of the writers is like, okay, great, but he

740
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 4: wants to be Sannah, enjoys being Sana, keeps wanting to

741
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: be Santa. Like there's no story, there's like it's like

742
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 4: the way to set it up is like he takes

743
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 4: a job of Santa because he wants the money and

744
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 4: actually doesn't want to do it and that. But it's

745
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 4: like they keep writing against the actual story. So because

746
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 4: Eric is so likable, and Eric is so lovable, Eric

747
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 4: is good with kids, like all the things that would

748
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 4: make this a story they can't write to.

749
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 5: I think it's just really story.

750
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: I think this story, though, is actually more about like

751
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 3: how we think, uh, you can solve you can. Like

752
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 3: he thinks he can this problem by buying gifts, saying, oh,

753
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: wouldn't Christmas be wonderful if all the kids had a

754
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: gift under the tree and and and he manages to

755
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: make that happen by stealing.

756
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 4: But then the conflict of the stealing never pays off,

757
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 4: like I can't waiting for like his parents to know.

758
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 3: But the conflict is when the kid looks you in

759
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: the eyes and says, I want a mommy and a

760
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 3: daddy right and you can't buy them and I can't

761
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: do that for them, And that's then can when he

762
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: says he does, what more can I be doing? I

763
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 3: could be donating my time on weekends to be a

764
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: big brother to these people.

765
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: But that's not a problem.

766
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: Like Eric first going to kidnap a kid.

767
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: No, but I mean, like, but.

768
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 4: Every step of the way, there's no there's no conflict.

769
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 4: Like literally, Eric would just hear the kids say that

770
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: and be like, I will give you everything.

771
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: Because he keeps doing it.

772
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 4: So we have to monologue to God for a crisis

773
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 4: that doesn't exist, you know, and he has a crisis

774
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: about being Santa that isn't a crisis here. Like it's

775
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 4: like the character doesn't turn, he's just it's just more

776
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 4: of Eric doing more of the same thing you would

777
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 4: have anyway.

778
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: So there's no actual turns in his storyline.

779
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: It's weird.

780
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 4: It's like they kept writing against the very thing, and

781
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 4: I know what happened. They kept writing these storylines in

782
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 4: these plots, but then it was like.

783
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: Well, we can't have Eric actually feel that way. He's

784
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: too likable. So it's weird.

785
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: It's like the character doesn't actually change, doesn't do anything,

786
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 4: doesn't fit the storyline that.

787
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: He's going through. It's it's a weird I don't know,

788
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 2: it doesn't but I'm just like Santa. But you're Sanna

789
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: and you superpowers exactly the thing. It's it's fine, like

790
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: it's just you. It's a vibe. It's a vibe. We're

791
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: just hanging out with you.

792
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 3: Eric tells Elf boy to go buy toys for all

793
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 3: the kids with Santa's Santa's Dad's credit card. Jack wants

794
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 3: to contribute to He's going to use his Bahamas trip

795
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 3: money to help. Rachel wants to help too, but she

796
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: doesn't have any money, so she'll just help Jack shop.

797
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: The next kid gets on Santa's lap, and Eric is

798
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 3: happier than ever. We transitioned later in the day with

799
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 3: the very last Saint Mary's kid meeting Santa. Eric reaches

800
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 3: into his big red bag for a present, but there's

801
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 3: none left, so he just gives her the bag, which

802
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: luckily she's happy about. It's the end of the day

803
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: and the three Christmas workers are all a little more

804
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,479
Speaker 3: appreciative than before. But then Eric takes it up a notch.

805
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 3: He tells Missus Claws and his elf that they're just

806
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: getting started. He will not rest until every needy kid

807
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 3: gets what they want for Christmas. Rachel tells Eric that

808
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 3: no one expects that of him, but Eric asks, then

809
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 3: why were they sent to me? But they're out of money.

810
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 3: They've done all they can, but Eric won't accept that

811
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: they just need to get more creative. Rachel doesn't get it.

812
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 3: How are they supposed to get creative? Jack shakes his head.

813
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 3: You shouldn't have asked him.

814
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 2: That set it up. Eric's gonna get crazy, but nothing's

815
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Hey, we don't know that yet. They know,

816
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: but I kept being like, oh, now he's gonna get

817
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: in trouble with his parents.

818
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 4: Cut a car, here's a bunch of fruitcake and presents,

819
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 4: and go okay, no, Bradley.

820
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: Well, then we're in the Matthews living room. Eric is

821
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: still wearing his Santa outfit and stealing presents from under

822
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 3: the tree. He's even taking the entire stockings off the

823
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: fireplace and putting them in his big red bag. Then

824
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: Feenie walks in holding an array of individually wrapped fruitcakes.

825
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 3: He wasn't able to give them to his new colleagues,

826
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: so they had to go somewhere. Eric happily will take them.

827
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 10: Christis they run out, run out in pendak, give me fruitcake.

828
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 3: They run out. Apparently the tradition is to run out

829
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: as fast as humanly possible.

830
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: We're still not good at that accident.

831
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: For the record, apparently the tradition at Penbrooke is to

832
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 3: beat it out of town as fast as humanly possible,

833
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: but he's excited to partake in the sacred tradition of

834
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 3: hanging his Santa ornament on the Matthews tree, but just

835
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 3: as he goes to find it, Jack accidentally hangs it himself.

836
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 3: Jack apologizes and Phoene's disappointment is palpable, but he decided.

837
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 9: Jack and Feenie interaction twice now this episode, as it

838
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 9: started with Jack and Feoenie and I sow at the beginning,

839
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 9: I just I occasionally will throw out little lines at

840
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 9: the screen of how I wanted it to be and

841
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 9: it should have just been.

842
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: When Jack stands up, he goes, hey, mister Feenie, Uh,

843
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, what do you do? I just wanted FENI

844
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: to go what.

845
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: Was your name?

846
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: Again? Which is the first time second time we've spoken

847
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: in the nine years.

848
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 3: Jack apologizes and Poene's disappointment is palpable, but he decides

849
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 3: he can just find a substitute. He picks up a shiny,

850
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 3: meager red ball and sarcastically prizes it how special. Eric's

851
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 3: ready to go all aboard for sand to land, and

852
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 3: Amy objects it's Christmas Eve. Alan adds, we were going

853
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 3: to spend this together as a family, but Eric is focused.

854
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 2: Christmas eve Day. Why doesn't she say.

855
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 3: It Christmas Night?

856
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: Now we have to go to our treaty. I love

857
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: how say Christmas eve Day like it's such a weird thing.

858
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 2: Is a weird thing.

859
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 3: It's nobody doing for Christmas eve Day.

860
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 2: No one says that it's just collecting polaroids. That's how

861
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 2: we do it.

862
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: As he heads out with Missus Claws and his elf,

863
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: Corey and his friends are just getting back.

864
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 2: All all week each other. We decided to make a

865
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,479
Speaker 2: huge deal I'd like.

866
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: And we are living.

867
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 10: We are, we are And the only thing that makes

868
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 10: it passable to be able to be aired on TV

869
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 10: is because imagine if we didn't act excited to see

870
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 10: each other, and it's Christmas eve night.

871
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 8: The day, it's Christmas evening and we are passing each

872
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 8: other in the door, and what if we didn't.

873
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: Just each other?

874
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 3: Are they in a fight?

875
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: We just gave each other dirty looks as we watch.

876
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure.

877
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm sure that at one point, but just it's just

878
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: the last thing you hear is just Ben, just go.

879
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: It's just something fun.

880
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 3: It makes me laugh. So I literally watched it like

881
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 3: five times trying to figure out what I say, and

882
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 3: I can't figure it out. I'm trying to read my lips.

883
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 3: But maybe if I turn off the volume. I didn't

884
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: do that. Maybe if I just turn off the volume

885
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 3: and read my lips. But like trying to read my

886
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 3: lips and hearing those guys at the same time, I

887
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 3: was like, I can't figure it out.

888
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 9: So great.

889
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 3: Amy asks the kids how ice skating went, and Corey

890
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: cheekily responds, yule tides of fun, Mom, But who knew

891
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 3: it would be couples only? And then I did think

892
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: for one second, wait, what there's there's a skating place

893
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 3: that has a rule that the only people allowed on

894
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: the ice.

895
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: A couple.

896
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 1: Well you know that they hold her. Here's the thing

897
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: they did that in roller skating.

898
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: Well they have a couple one song, didn't.

899
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: You remember, Like you'd hear the guy going, all right,

900
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, is couple skate?

901
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: Now?

902
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 3: Couples skate one song?

903
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's just a long song.

904
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 4: Actually just thought about that because I remember it was

905
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 4: one Moment in Time by Whitney Houston and I had

906
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 4: to get off and I'm so in love with Lindsay Cheerheart,

907
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 4: and I did not get to skate with her.

908
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: Why couldn't you skate with by the way, is a

909
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: completely made up But she was my girlfriend, I mean,

910
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 2: but we never talked to each other.

911
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: You also had a grade okay, all right, okay grade.

912
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 4: Maureen was actually the one who came to me and

913
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 4: told me that Lindsay Chehart liked me. So that's how

914
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 4: Moreen and I like met and started talking in third grade.

915
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 2: We we we went. We didn't say we went. You

916
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 2: go with somebody, that's what you going going out?

917
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 3: Or we're going.

918
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 2: No, we're just going together for you know, a couple

919
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: of weeks or whatever. But you never spoke to her. Nope,

920
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: she was too shy to talk to me, so I

921
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 2: would talk to Maureene. So that's why I.

922
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: So I'm curious you never spoke to her. I'm guessing

923
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 1: you didn't kiss, you didn't do anything.

924
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: So we passed. How were you going?

925
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: We passed everybody, And I'm saying everyone in school knew

926
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 4: that we were going together, but you never spoke. No,

927
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 4: And then I remember, and I just I was just

928
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 4: listening to Whitney Houston with India, and I was still

929
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 4: hearing one moment in time and I was like, oh yeah,

930
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 4: I remember the skating rink, the roller skating rink, and

931
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 4: the couples dance and just feeling feeling all the feels.

932
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,439
Speaker 2: See, that's why this is real. That's why this is real.

933
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: This is.

934
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 3: Did you then break up? Did you have to stop

935
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 3: going together? You have to officially end it? Oh my gosh, writer,

936
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 3: you are you have to you this is a bottle,

937
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 3: this is illegal.

938
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 2: Well think about it.

939
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: You're literally putting the same effort into the relationship now

940
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: that you were in the third grade, so you're essentially

941
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: still together.

942
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 3: One moment to Panga reiterates to Sean, I didn't I swear.

943
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 3: Then she wants to have a word with Corey. She

944
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 3: insists that he stays out of this, but Corey explains,

945
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 3: when you and I broke up, Sean did everything in

946
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 3: his power to get us back together again. With gritted teeth,

947
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 3: he whispers.

948
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:02,800
Speaker 2: It's Christmas.

949
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 3: Can you think of a better gift than doing the

950
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 3: same for them? Topanga now grits her teeth to respond,

951
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 3: I know your intentions are good, just don't push so hard.

952
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 3: Corey sighs. All right, I'll be more subtle. Alan comes

953
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: barreling into the room holding a bowl, who wants to

954
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 3: string some popcorn. Corey can't hold it in. He shouts

955
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 3: at the top of his lungs Sean and Angela with

956
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 3: hands up.

957
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: God.

958
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 3: He grabs the bowl and Morgan tries to tell him

959
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 3: I always string the but before she can get it out,

960
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 3: Corey throws a few kernels at her. He hands the

961
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 3: popcorn over to Sean and Angela.

962
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: Was that her whole part this week? Does she say

963
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: I always string the and that's it?

964
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 2: Does she speak? I don't think she says anything else

965
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 2: the whole week? Yeah?

966
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 3: And she gets cut off?

967
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah literallycorn on.

968
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 3: Sean breaks the silence with Angela. So you and me

969
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: string and popcorn. They both reach their hands into the

970
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 3: bowl and thenquickly pull them out. It's awkward, but they're

971
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,720
Speaker 3: being respectful. Sean smiles. I'm not sorry that we're spending

972
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 3: Christmas together. She agrees, I'm not either.

973
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: Her whole episode, I just want to see Corey be funny.

974
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 2: I God, you're.

975
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 4: Such a down or just like any I mean, it's

976
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: not it's just I don't care. You just feel all

977
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 4: the energy to evaporate, and that's like, just listen, just

978
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 4: go quit.

979
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 2: Just get to the next scene. Jesus.

980
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, Alan announces that the tree is ready. It's time

981
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: for him to light it up. Corey, not so subtly,

982
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 3: says Sean and Angela the tree looks so much better

983
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: from right up here, and points to the staircase that

984
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 3: just happens to have mistletoe hanging right above it. What's

985
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:50,479
Speaker 3: that mistletoe? Sean looks at his goofy friend who's giving

986
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 3: him a big thumbs up. Could he be any more obvious?

987
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 3: Angela agrees, like the ice skating and caroling weren't bad enough.

988
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 3: Sean wonders, what's he think a little holiday spirit? We're

989
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: just going to fall into each other's arms on que

990
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 3: Alan turns off the lights and the beautiful Christmas tree

991
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 3: glows sure enough. Sean admits it's beautiful, and Angela looks

992
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 3: into his eyes and sighs, I love Christmas. In the

993
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 3: glow of Christmas, they finally kiss and Corey watch them

994
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 3: and smile.

995
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 2: Kismas very quickly.

996
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 1: Sorry going to go off on a tangent, but it

997
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: led to a discussion in our home last night because

998
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: I grew up a certain way and Susan grew up

999
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: another way.

1000
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: Colored Christmas lights yeay r nay, I'm a yay and

Speaker 2: I want to see you. Thank you. Ko.

1008
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 3: I agree with both of your wives, except since I've

1009
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 3: had kids, having kids, I see Christmas lights through their

1010
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 3: eyes now, and you're right, like, yes, classy Christmas is boring.

1011
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 3: Come on, I get it. White is beautiful, the white,

1012
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 3: the white lights, and you can and it glows off

1013
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 3: the silver and the gold and the whatever. Bright multi

1014
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: colored Christmas lights scream Christmas.

1015
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1016
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 3: So we have a tree that alternates, We have lights

1017
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 3: that alternate. You can do whatever you want, and my

1018
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 3: kids usually pick it, and they pick like sometimes the

1019
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: slow blink colored ones. Sometimes they pick the ones where

1020
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 3: just a couple of them go on and off. Outside

1021
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 3: our house we do red, and we do red and

1022
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: white alternating on our fence, and then on the house

1023
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: we do all white. But I'm thinking this year we switch.

1024
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: It up and do big multi My wife is one

1025
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: hundred percent wrong, and please don't tell her.

1026
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 2: I said that we'll keep it. See, are you going

1027
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: to win this argument? No, it's not about last year.

1028
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: She goes, if you want to do colored lights, you

1029
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: can put colored lights in the tree.

1030
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 2: But I saw a single tear roll down her tree.

1031
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 3: You want to break you want to break my.

1032
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: Heart exactly, And she didn't say it like that, but

1033
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: that's what she meant.

1034
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:17,399
Speaker 3: And so here's what I recommend. Get another tree. So

1035
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 3: we we have we have a big tree, and then

1036
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 3: we also have like a small tree. But I, for

1037
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 3: a while in my house had a regular before I

1038
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 3: was married, I had a regular tree. And then I

1039
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 3: had an all white Christmas tree and it was every

1040
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 3: all the ornaments were white.

1041
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 2: When by yourself you had two Christmas trees?

1042
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,240
Speaker 3: Correct?

1043
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 8: Wow, life was good when I lived alone.

1044
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 3: Christmas tree so much free space. Oh my god, a

1045
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 3: whole house to my house. Yeah, Christmas trees in every room.

1046
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah? So do it?

1047
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: Do another tree? Do a tree, do a wheel tree.

1048
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 3: Have your wife likes a Charlie Brown tree, you do that?

1049
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 3: Get a second tree, Okay, And decorated.

1050
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: However you want to see, I'm just gonna put it

1051
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: in front of her tree.

1052
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 3: Well you put it in your room?

1053
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, she'd love that.

1054
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: Later in the Matthews living room, Corey and Sean are

1055
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 3: making some adjustments to the tree ornaments, and Corey's can't

1056
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: stop grinning at Sean. You kissed Angela. Sean begs him

1057
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 3: not to make a big deal out of this, but

1058
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 3: Corey reminds him it is a big deal. Shawn isn't sold,

1059
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 3: not this time. She's over me. We're over each other.

1060
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 3: Why won't you let this go? Corey finally blurts out,

1061
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 3: because Angela is still in love with you. She didn't

1062
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 3: want to break up with you in the first place,

1063
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:46,439
Speaker 3: and I know you wrote that poem because you still

1064
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 3: love her. Sean isn't thrilled. He's concerned. How do you

1065
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 3: know that? Corey gets flustered. Someone told me? I mean

1066
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 3: no one told me. I mean I didn't say anything.

1067
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 3: He quickly begs, please don't take me to Tapanga. John

1068
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 3: immediately pushes Corey toward the girls. I want to know

1069
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 3: what's going on, Sean interrogates to Panga, What did you

1070
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 3: tell Corey? Topega's eyes widened, so Corey comes clean to Angela,

1071
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 3: I told Sean that you still love him, and I

1072
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 3: know Tapega was telling you that Sean still loves you.

1073
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 3: Angela cuts him off.

1074
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 5: What.

1075
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 3: Corey, now shocked, looks at ta Pega. You didn't tell

1076
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 3: her anything, did you? Tapega shakes her head. Corey lets

1077
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 3: that sink in, then suggests that now is a good time.

1078
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 3: Angela's not laughing. Somebody better start talking. She looks at Sean.

1079
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 3: I think it should be you and me. Sean agrees,

1080
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 3: let's get out of here. Corey tries to stop them,

1081
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: but they slam the door in his face. He asks Topanga,

1082
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 3: I couldn't see their faces. Did they look angry? Was

1083
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: he mad? To Pega gives him an angry look of

1084
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 3: her student union. I know, I don't know.

1085
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 1: Because there's forty two people in a very small home.

1086
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: There's no place anymore.

1087
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 2: We could go to our dorm rooms, like we have

1088
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 2: dorm rooms.

1089
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 5: What I know, what well we've yeah, I don't.

1090
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 2: Know what might you know? What might have been cute?

1091
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of ridiculous, but if you did

1092
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,399
Speaker 1: it in like the treehouse, right, I mean there's still

1093
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: a treehouses there in the backyard, in the side yard,

1094
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: so yeah.

1095
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 3: You know, because then you come back to the house,

1096
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 3: you don't even like to choose to stay.

1097
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 5: Why do you go all the way to this?

1098
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 3: How far is the student union?

1099
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: Did all that? Do you think everybody has a car? Teleportation?

1100
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: Sitcom teleportation?

1101
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 3: You borrowed Corey's car?

1102
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 4: Okay, we only we only have a car when it

1103
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 4: becomes a problem, right, yeah, he gets a driver's license, ye,

1104
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: or a car breaks down and we have.

1105
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: To take the subway.

1106
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 3: Also, I did think it was very interesting you didn't

1107
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 3: talk at all about the relationship until you arrived at

1108
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 3: the student union. You're discuss any.

1109
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: But also like what is the problem?

1110
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 3: What is Sean?

1111
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: Why is Sean not ready to commit? Does he want

1112
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 2: to be dating other people? Like there's no reason.

1113
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 4: So like when he has the moment of kissing Angela,

1114
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 4: it's like, what are you overcoming?

1115
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's supposed to be about his parents, but

1116
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: they never they never ever address it.

1117
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: I hate that's what could make it.

1118
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, because they've thrown a nugget about her dad,

1119
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,479
Speaker 1: and they thrown a nugget about your dad and both

1120
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: your families are eventually going to be why and if reserves,

1121
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: that's what happens later.

1122
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: That's like the great deep motivation. But what is Sean saying?

1123
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 3: Actually, Like, the last time he spoke about it, he

1124
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 3: was like, listen, I made a mistake. I thought I

1125
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 3: thought I wanted to be free, but I just miss her.

1126
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 3: I think about her all the time. So the last

1127
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 3: time we saw him, he was like, that was a mistake.

1128
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: And now he's like, but I don't know if I

1129
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 3: want to fix it. Yeah, I don't know. They don't

1130
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 3: want to change the mistake.

1131
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 4: Drama for the sake of drama. I mean, that's the

1132
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 4: it's melodrama. It's a definition of melodrama.

1133
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 3: Tipanga gives him an angry look of her own. Oh yes,

1134
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 3: like that, And then Amy, who we know notice is

1135
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 3: very pregnant, walks into the living room and asks, has

1136
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 3: anyone seen my toaster oven? And then we cut to

1137
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 3: santaland Eric is telling a little girl that the easy

1138
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 3: bake oven is for rookies. What he as for her

1139
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 3: is a real toaster oven. The girl leaves with Amy's appliance,

1140
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,959
Speaker 3: and Eric declares Christmas is the greatest idea anybody ever had.

1141
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,439
Speaker 3: He's all out of stuff now, and all those little

1142
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 3: kids are so happy. Jack praises his friends, you're a

1143
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 3: great Santa. Eric returns the compliment, he's a great elf,

1144
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,680
Speaker 3: while also praising his own Santa skills. I want the

1145
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: world's happiness to be my responsibility. What a great job.

1146
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 3: And just when he thought the day was over, a

1147
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 3: little boy walks up and sits on his lap. Eric asks,

1148
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 3: in his regular voice, you look familiar. Are you in

1149
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 3: my psych class? The child explains me.

1150
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 2: Again as a little kid, JB.

1151
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 3: The child explains, I was here yesterday. My name's Tommy.

1152
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,959
Speaker 3: Missus claws butts in, Yeah, he came with the other

1153
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 3: children on the bus. Santa pretend he's an orphan nobody.

1154
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 4: We couldn't have the orphan in the previous seat. We

1155
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 4: had to time it out for the story that he

1156
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 4: comes back for us.

1157
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep o. Santa pretends he's known Tommy his whole life.

1158
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 3: He actually gave Tommy the truck that he's conveniently holding.

1159
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 3: Tommy sadly explains, yeah, and I came to give it back.

1160
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: I didn't really believe you were Santa, but all my

1161
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 3: friends came back with stuff. So now that I know

1162
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 3: you're really him, I was wondering if I can give

1163
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 3: this back and ask for something else instead. Eric doesn't

1164
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 3: think twice he can ask for anything he wants. Tommy asks,

1165
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 3: do you think I can have parents for Christmas?

1166
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh?

1167
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 3: And then sad music plays, Sam said music, and then

1168
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 3: Eric looks to his friends for support. Will what do

1169
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 3: you remember about working with JB.

1170
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: From this episode? Nothing? I didn't. I didn't.

1171
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't even remember being Santa very remember the for

1172
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: some reason, I remember the moment of out of everything,

1173
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: but you can have this bag, like, I remember that,

1174
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: but I remembered very little else. The next couple episodes

1175
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: that Tommy's in, those are the ones that I really

1176
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: remember because I think me of ar Dallas is in

1177
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: one of the episodes. She's a social worker, and I

1178
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: remember she and I got along really really well. And

1179
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: I remember just JB and I had had.

1180
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 2: A good working relationship. It was a great little kid.

1181
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I remember them trying to take Eric

1182
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 1: in the more dramatic like they were like, you know,

1183
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: Sean hasn't been dramatic in a long time, so we're gonna.

1184
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: Make Eric more dramatic.

1185
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,919
Speaker 1: We need more angst, We need more angst, so they

1186
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: I think the next couple episodes that he's in get

1187
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: pretty drama.

1188
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: But no, I just remember having fun with him.

1189
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: He was he was a cute little kid, and I

1190
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: remember his family that was there were very nice and

1191
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: he's obviously was easy.

1192
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: And then he came back for a Girl World and

1193
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 2: it was great to work with them. Yeah, that episode

1194
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 2: didn't I directed it. Yeah, he was. It was just

1195
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: hadn't acted since.

1196
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: He's basically like one step below a professional golfer. I mean,

1197
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: he's he plays a ton of golf at college, and

1198
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: is I think gonna pursue that maybe, I mean, he's.

1199
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: Apparently like a very very good golfer.

1200
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: So but it was great. He was a great guy

1201
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 1: and it was great to see him again. So cool,

1202
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: we're tracking him down try.

1203
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I reached out to Barbie Block and Barbie said

1204
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 3: she would do like a blast through her agent to

1205
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 3: see if any agents or whoever still has contacts with him.

1206
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 3: So we'll see. So then we're at the student union

1207
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: at night. Sean and Angela walk up to the closed

1208
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 3: doors and are met by the janitor from before. I

1209
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 3: thought just about everybody would be out celebrating by now.

1210
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 3: He shrugs and lets the kids in. If it's if,

1211
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: why isn't it just unlocked?

1212
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Like say what?

1213
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: They Maybe because there's there's stuff in the student's store

1214
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: they don't want stolen.

1215
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 2: Maybe like I don't, Yeah, but why do we need?

1216
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: I guess it's just at the atmosphere of like a

1217
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 2: lights off.

1218
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess ouch, I don't know, decorated kind of

1219
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 3: for Christmas.

1220
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 5: I guess he threw them all away.

1221
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 3: I don't know. Angela and Sean now stand face to face,

1222
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 3: and she's the first to ask, why can't we just

1223
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 3: tell each other how we feel? Sean doesn't know, but

1224
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 3: he does know how confusing it is. Angela agrees, we

1225
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 3: broke up. We agreed to move on, Sean adds, and

1226
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: next thing you know, we're kissing under the mistletoe. Angela

1227
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 3: continues on and letting Corey tell us how we should feel.

1228
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 3: Shon admits when we don't even know ourselves that Angela

1229
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: stops agreeing with him. There, I'm sure I love you.

1230
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 3: I've always loved you. I just wanted you to be

1231
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 3: sure about what you felt. Sean admits. When we broke up,

1232
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 3: I thought I wanted to be free, but I couldn't

1233
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 3: stop thinking about you. That scares me. I don't know

1234
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 3: what to do with those feelings. Angela suggests he give

1235
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 3: in to them, because then he'd be in love with

1236
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 3: someone that loves him too. Isn't that what he wants?

1237
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 3: Sean says, you are a wonderful person, Angela, and she

1238
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 3: repeats herself, isn't that what you want? Sean? Shan admits,

1239
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what I want. I'm so confused. Okay,

1240
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 3: I really don't think i'm ready. Angela gets emotional. I

1241
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 3: opened my heart to you. I can't just sit around

1242
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: like a fool waiting for you to be ready. Sean

1243
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 3: tries to speak, but he doesn't know what to say.

1244
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 3: Angela grabs his hands. I'm done. It's over, Sean. Sean's

1245
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 3: face is filled with pain as he watches her walk away.

1246
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Ready for what. I know you already dated.

1247
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I know you're just monogamous, loss of term, loving relationship.

1248
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 2: So ready for what to do that again?

1249
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: You?

1250
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 3: Because marriage, man, is exactly it's just so extreme. It's

1251
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 3: just and it's like you think that if you are

1252
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 3: in a relationship, you have to be like Corey into

1253
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 3: panga and you're not ready for Corey into pango level attachment.

1254
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 2: That's what dating means on Boying World. It means, oh,

1255
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 2: we're dating. We love each other, it's forever, it's and.

1256
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 3: We are together in everything. Yeah.

1257
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's like it's the same way that like

1258
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 4: kissing stands in for a sex. Yeah, it's like, you know,

1259
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 4: it's that, It's it's all the turmoil of like a

1260
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 4: real Yeah.

1261
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's just heightened, you know, it's just ya.

1262
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: We just have to make it more dramatic than I

1263
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 2: think it really would be in real life.

1264
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 4: Like, of course, casually dated and break up and maybe

1265
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 4: date somebody else, but that doesn't make for drama, So

1266
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 4: we got to amp it up, you know.

1267
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 3: Right now, on a snowy bench outside Eric's still in

1268
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 3: a Santa costume and covered in snow, speaks into the void.

1269
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 3: I want to make the happiness of the entire world

1270
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 3: my responsibility. What an idiot? He looks up to this

1271
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 3: guy and asks, what am I supposed to do? I

1272
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 3: made those little kids smile, took care of everybody that

1273
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 3: came to see me, no disrespect. But why would you

1274
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 3: send me that little boy? Why doesn't that nice little

1275
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 3: boy have parents? Why did you send me that little kid? Finally,

1276
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 3: he wonders, why do I only come to you when

1277
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 3: I need something? You shouldn't have to take care of everything? Right,

1278
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 3: He stands up and pledges to the universe, I will

1279
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 3: take care of this. I can be responsible for the

1280
01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 3: happiness of one little boy. And then we're in the

1281
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 3: Matthews living room to pay as ry.

1282
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I be just blowing by that, because you're right,

1283
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't none of it. I mean, I love a

1284
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: good godolog I really do, but I don't.

1285
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 2: It didn't.

1286
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make any sense really, the entire scene now,

1287
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: It just I know it wasn't necessary Eric.

1288
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 4: You know, he's trying to do the right and he

1289
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 4: does the right thing, like there's a there's not really

1290
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 4: a conflict here now because Eric is he has such

1291
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 4: a good heart, he's always done the right thing. There

1292
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 4: hasn't been a conflict of him giving too much to kids.

1293
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: This scene should have been saved for a future episode

1294
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: where if he's going to.

1295
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Adopt Tommy or not.

1296
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: Yes, that's when that's when this is necessary, not I'm

1297
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: going to be nice to the kid and becoming big

1298
01:04:14,080 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: brother on the weekends.

1299
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 3: This scene could have picked up right where the last

1300
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 3: scene ended, with JB still on your lap, you making

1301
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 3: the decision in that moment come home with me and

1302
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 3: your friend's going what are you doing? What are you doing?

1303
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 3: And you can say I can be responsible. You could

1304
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 3: end at the same place. You can make the decision

1305
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 3: right then and there You're right, I don't really know

1306
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 3: what you need to talk to God about or why

1307
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 3: you need to have this feeling of like, oh, I

1308
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 3: only come to God when i'm when I need something.

1309
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 3: I'm not. It's I just didn't.

1310
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed unnecessary, that's a yeah, it was kind

1311
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: of strangely placed.

1312
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I just think that the story if it

1313
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 2: had started.

1314
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 4: With you not wanting to be Santa, or like hating

1315
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 4: the idea of having to be up with kids on

1316
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 4: your lap or something, right, but they couldn't write that

1317
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 4: because that's not fitting it to.

1318
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: Meet girls or something like that. There you go exactly

1319
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 2: like that's what I mean.

1320
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 4: There could have been, but I feel like they and

1321
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 4: there probably was a draft so where it started that way, right,

1322
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 4: but then they were like, no, that's not likable or

1323
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 4: that's not eric and so they wrote themselves out of

1324
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 4: the arc.

1325
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 2: It's like, it's actually just more of sound.

1326
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: Because how do you not then if you do, he

1327
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: does it because he thinks he's going to get girls

1328
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: and he's standing there next to a girl and he's like, man,

1329
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 1: women love a guy in uniform.

1330
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Like how do you? How do you know?

1331
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Something like that, and then it becomes about actually bringing happiness.

1332
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right, they never think.

1333
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: They tried to do that with the twelve I'm making

1334
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: twelve thousand hour and I get to sit on my

1335
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: butt and then he's playing video games and it doesn't matter.

1336
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: They were trying to show that.

1337
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, but it was right.

1338
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 2: To start there. It just wasn't harsh, right, agreed, It

1339
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 2: needed to be more heightened than what I mean.

1340
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 4: They kind of wrote against the very story they were

1341
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 4: They were setting themselves up for it.

1342
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's funny. Well I didn't even

1343
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 3: think of that. They did try to make it be like,

1344
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: this is the easiest job in the world. Who cares.

1345
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 3: I sit on my butt, I play my video game,

1346
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 3: I make twelve bucks an hour, and then it becomes

1347
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 3: I need to.

1348
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 2: Adopt a child, right, yeah, yeah.

1349
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 3: So then we're in the Matthews living room to Panga

1350
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 3: is staring out the window, and Corey wonders what could

1351
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 3: be taking them so long? I love you, you love me.

1352
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:08,919
Speaker 3: We're back together. Let's thank Corey and t Bega. That's

1353
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 3: ten minutes tops. Morgan asks, do we have to wait

1354
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 3: for Eric to open our presence?

1355
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that's just good. She did have another line, good, good, good.

1356
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 3: Alan, Feenie, and Amy are also gathered in the room,

1357
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 3: and Amy responds, you've been patient long enough. How about

1358
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 3: each one of us open one. They each open a

1359
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 3: rapt present, but Morgan realizes hers is empty. Alan's also.

1360
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 4: All it would have taken is Fhoenie in that scene

1361
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 4: in the opening, to be like, this is actually a

1362
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 4: pretty great job, Eric, this is important, like kids, kids,

1363
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 4: You're you're gonna be something that these kids will remember forever,

1364
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 4: and you to be like whatever, And then this monologue

1365
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 4: could have been a scene with Feenie where he's like,

1366
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 4: now you know it is important, right.

1367
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 3: It's a responsibility, and you and Phoenie cares about Christmas.

1368
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it's full.

1369
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 4: It would have taken this one exchange with him being like,

1370
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 4: I think it's actually kind of an important job, and

1371
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 4: you'll be like, I get to be sand I wear

1372
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 4: and then and you mock him, and then this scene

1373
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 4: would have been like you could be like, yeah, I

1374
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 4: really care about the kids and I'm in too deep.

1375
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have worked simple, So just took writer

1376
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 2: like four minutes.

1377
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 3: Alan's also has nothing inside beside a little note. He

1378
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 3: reads it aloud. Your seventy five bit power drill was

1379
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 3: donated to a child in need love Santa Claus Feene

1380
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 3: reads his note. He also gave away my breast pump.

1381
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 3: He's confused and then realizes that was actually for Amy.

1382
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 3: I'd like it to be said, if you or anyone

1383
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 3: you know is thinking of buying a pregnant woman a

1384
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 3: breast pump for a holiday, don't that's not a gift.

1385
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 3: Do not.

1386
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Don't. I gotta, I gotta make a call.

1387
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 3: We only have a few minutes, and then you then

1388
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 3: go and cancel that. What on earth bred Merry Christmas?

1389
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 3: Here's your breast pump for the child of mine you're having.

1390
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 5: Anyway.

1391
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,479
Speaker 3: Amy doesn't understand, but Alan knows his son well enough.

1392
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 3: He asks Jack and Rachel where Eric is, and Jack stutters, uh,

1393
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 3: the kids were just so cute. You know it wasn't

1394
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 3: just him. Rachel chimes in, have you ever really gotten

1395
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 3: caught up in the spirit of Christmas so much so

1396
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 3: that you wanted to steal?

1397
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 2: That's a funny line.

1398
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 3: Uh huh on cue. Eric walks in, still dressed as Santa.

1399
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 3: He wishes everyone to Merry Christmas, and we see Tommy

1400
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 3: peeking out from behind him, too nervous to come in,

1401
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 3: Eric gives him some encouragement, and Tommy finally walks in.

1402
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 3: He waves to everyone. As Eric introduces Tommy to his family,

1403
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 3: Alan walks up and says, hi to the little boy.

1404
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:47,360

01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 3: Eric grabs Tommy and sits him on his lap. Tommy

1418
01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 3: doesn't have a family, so I thought it'd be nice

1419
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 3: if he could spend Christmas with us. If that's okay

1420
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 3: with everybody else, everyone's more than happy to have him.

01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,759
Speaker 3: Morgan offers him a gingerbread cookie, which he happily takes.

1422
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 3: Eric explains they met back when Eric was Santa. You see,

1423
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,960

1424
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 3: now he knows he's just Eric. Eric nods and laughs.

1425
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 3: He said we could still hang out, though. Tommy adds

1426
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 3: he said we could hang out on weekends. Eric can't

1427
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 3: help but smile. He says, it'll be like Tommy has

1428
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 3: a big brother. Corey says he's a good one. Tell me.
