[Christmas music]
-[voice-over]
My name is Rachel Webb.
And I confess,
I'm a hopeless romantic.
I know, it sounds silly
with everything
going on in the world.
And you'd think by my age,
I would have learned by now.
But. I just love romance.
A few months ago,
the most
wonderful thing happened.
You see,
I'm a theatre critic,
and there I was reviewing
Twelfth Night
when the guy playing Sir Andrew
caught my eye and, well--
I felt head over heels
immediately.
And we've been inseparable
ever since.
It's wonderful.
And tonight--
tonight, I think he's
going to ask THE question.
-What do you mean,
THE question?
I hope you mean whether
you would like a martini
or some champagne with dinner?
-Mum, he's an actor.
He can't afford champagne.
-Ugh.
-No. I mean, THE question.
I really think he might be
actually about to ask me
to marry him!
-Oh, good lord!
Rachel, darling, I have been
trying to marry you off
for years.
But really, an actor?
Come on, you've only
known him for two months.
Don't you think this is all
a little premature?
-Mum! Gregory and I
are in love!
-Yes,
and I seem to remember
you saying the same thing about
the last one.
That, um--[sighs]
dreary politician.
Well, at least he had
a real job, I suppose.
-Mum. could you at least
pretend to be happy for me?
-Sorry, dear.
[sighs] Of course,
I want you to be happy.
Look, maybe you should
marry this one.
After all--[chuckles]
you're not getting any younger.
Hmm.
-Thanks
for the pep talk, Mum.
Have fun.
-I will. [laughs]
-We wish you
A Merry Christmas
We wish you
A Merry Christmas
We wish you
A Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Good tidings we bring
To you and your kin
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Fingers crossed.
This is it!
[Christmas jazz music playing]
[muted conversation]
-[whistles]
[indistinct].
[background conversation]
-Hello, darling!
-Ahh--babe.
[smacks a kiss] Babe!
[chuckles]
I got the best news.
-Ooh, tell me.
-I got the part in
Pirates of Penzance
at the Coliseum!
-Gregory!
That is amazing!
I'm so happy for you!
Is it a big part?
-Well, you know, it's.
sort of.
Yeah, it's a key role.
Yeah, I don't actually
have any lines.
But they said they might
write something in for me.
-What?
That is still marvellous.
-It's good, isn't it?
-Yes, yes, yes.
[both] Mwah!
-I'm gonna have
a glass of wine.
-Umm, so is there
anything else?
-What?
-Oh, nothing.
It's just that in your text,
you um, you said that
you have something to ask me.
-Oh, my gee.
Ha! Almost forgot.
[laughs] Excuse me.
Excuse me, everybody.
Um, sorry.
Excuse me, sorry to
interrupt your dinner.
Umm, sorry, but tonight is
a very, very important night.
I know some of you
may recognize me
from the West End Theatre.
Yeah?
Yeah, uh--[clears throat]
Anyways, I just found out today
that I'm going to be starring
in the next production of
Pirates of Penzance
at the Coliseum.
[polite applause]
-Thank you.
Thank you, yeah.
I wanna say I thought this night
couldn't get any better.
You know, I hope it will.
Rachel Webb.
you make me feel like
I'm a multi-award-winning actor.
Which I will be, one day.
[laughs]
[romantic music playing]
-[gasps]
-Will you marry me?
[romantic music playing]
-Yes!
Yes, yes, yes.
-She said yes!
[cheers and applause]
-Whoo.
-Ohh.
-I love you.
-I love you. Mwah.
[church bells toll]
[sighs] This is it!
I'm getting married!
-[laughs] Darling,
I'm so happy for you.
Finally,
after all this time, [sighs]
just when we'd given up hope.
-Mum, it's my wedding day.
-Sorry, darling.
Habit.
Oh, you look beautiful.
Look, I don't want to jinx it,
but you are sure about this?
You're my daughter
and I love you,
but you have only known
actor boy for three months.
-Mum, his name is Gregory,
and it's been three and a half
months, actually.
-He wasn't very "hands on"
with all the planning.
-Oh, yeah, yeah,
but Mum, he was busy
with rehearsals.
You know how time-consuming
they are.
-I just want to make sure
you're doing the right thing.
-Mum, I am doing
the right thing.
I love him.
And I want a family.
I want to be a wife
and a mother.
-You will make
a wonderful mother.
[laughs] Oh, come on.
-Thank you.
-Let's get you married.
[laughs]
[whimsical music playing]
-Here we go.
-Oh, my gee.
[Rachel] Gregory!
Oh, Mum.
Wait, you're not meant
to see the bride
before I get inside
the church.
It's bad luck!
-[nervous chuckle]
-Wait, where are you
rushing off to?
You're meant to be standing up
at the altar nervously.
-Yeah, right. So, uh--
here's the thing, Rach--
you know I love you, babe.
I really do.
-Oh, I knew it was
too good to be true.
-I just can't.
-No! No!
-I was in there
waiting for you,
and it just didn't feel right.
You know what I mean?
We barely know each other.
We only met like what?
Two months ago?
-Three and a half, actually.
-Really?
It's just, uh--
you know, I've been so busy
with rehearsals, babe,
this is such a huge part for me.
-You don't have any lines!
-Yeah, but they said
they might write
something in for me.
I gotta be standing by, babe.
-Let's call
Gilbert and Sullivan
and ask for the rewrite,
shall we?
-[panting]
Can we go somewhere else
and have a chat, babe?
-Look, don't 'babe' me!
We can talk right here,
thank you very much.
So, you're telling me that,
after I pulled this wedding
together in record time
whilst you were off practicing
standing at the back
of the stage
being a glorified extra,
that now it doesn't feel right?
I mean, you told me
two days ago
that you couldn't wait
to get married
and have children.
What the hell happened?!
-All right.
Last night, I was having
a couple of drinks
with the lads--
-Oh, here we go.
-And I was thinking--
I'm an actor, Rach.
I need to be free
to follow my dreams,
and if I'm married
and have kids--
I think it'll stop
the creative juices
from flowing through,
and I'll never get
a great part again.
And the lads were saying
that everyone knows
that behind every great actor
is a nagging wife.
-Wait, behind every
GREAT actor is a NAGGING wife?
-Well, that's what--
-Well, you know what?
You don't need to
worry about that any more
because A, you're NOa great actor!
And B, I'm NOgonna be your WIFE!
-Babe!
-Don't even think
about it, actor boy!
-Another year
Away from home
What's Christmas day
When you're alone
The tree just lit
Its magic--
[phone ringing]
-[groans] Pfft.
[keypad beeps]
[Chloe] Well, finally!
I've been calling and calling.
-Sorry, I just.
just want to be left alone.
-[chuckles] Wallowing in this
won't help you, you know.
-[sobs]
-Oh, darling.
I am sorry.
He really was a louse,
wasn't he?
-[sobs] Yeah.
I mean, Mum, why me?
Why do I always have
such terrible luck with men?
I'm never gonna find someone
to fall in love with.
I'm not going to be a mom
and never going to
have a family.
-That's not true.
I don't know why
you have such bad luck
in the romance department.
He wasn't the right man for you.
You deserve someone magical.
Someone that
when you look at him,
it's love at first sight.
-Really?
-Really.
Now, I know you were
supposed to be flying off
for your honeymoon tomorrow,
and I hate the idea of you
sitting there all alone
with that depressing
little Christmas tree.
So I'm offering you
two choices.
One, you come down
and spend Christmas with me.
-[sobs] Oh, Mom.
[Chloe] Or two.
you pack your bikinis
and go off on that honeymoon
with a couple of
your girlfriends.
I know you paid for it.
Actor boy has no money.
It would be a shame
to let it go to waste.
-No, I just want to
curl up here by myself.
Forever. [sniffles]
[Chloe] I forbid it.
Come on now.
Some sun, a few cocktails,
some girl time.
Look, you deserve
some happiness,
and it'll do you
the world of good.
-No.
[Chloe] Think about it.
And don't cry too much.
He's not worth it.
And no one looks good
with puffy eyes.
[phone beeps]
-[sighs]
[sniffles]
[phone trilling]
Rebecca?
I know. He's an idiot.
No, I'm fine.
Look.
what are you and Amanda
doing for Christmas?
I've got a proposition for you.
[upbeat music]
So, here I am
on what should've been
my utterly blissful honeymoon.
But, instead of a dreamy week
with actor boy,
I'm with these two,
my two best friends
in the world.
Truth be told,
they're both slightly odd.
But they are faithful and loyal,
and I love 'em to bits.
This is Rebecca,
built like a supermodel,
but in fact,
a nerdy accountant.
Never married and claims to
never wanna be.
And this is Amanda,
the most feared
food critic in London.
Divorced and always on
the lookout for monkey business.
Over the years,
we've been through
thick and thin together.
So, even though my heart
has been shattered yet again,
and I am still looking
for that missing puzzle piece,
this place, this little jewel of
an island in the Caribbean,
looks beautiful.
And I'm gonna try and make
the most of it.
[camera clicks]
-What an amazing view.
-Yep, it is, isn't it?
-I'm kind of glad
actor boy walked out on you!
[laughs]
[clears throat]
Too soon?
-Don't worry, darling.
You're not going to
go through this alone.
-Thanks, girls.
-[shrieks] Hello!!
Hellloooo!!!
Helllloooo!!
Oh, girls, you made it.
I'm sooo excited.
Welcome to Belle Mont Farm!
I'm Eleanor, the manager.
But you can call me Ellie.
We're so excited to see you.
You're going to have
so much fun.
Now, which of you is Rachel?
-I am.
-Aww, we are so sorry
for your loss.
But we're gonna take
great care of you, okay?
Let me get your keys.
[shrieks] This is
gonna be so exciting.
-I want what she had
for breakfast.
[]
[Ellie]
How do you like this, huh?
You've got
your own private pool.
-[laughs excitedly]
[Ellie] Not too shabby, right?
Rebecca, Amanda, I put you
in those two over there.
[Amanda] Whoo.
-But this one is the best one,
and this one's for you, Rachel.
It's my favourite.
[all laugh happily]
-Come on, let's go.
Ladies, are you ready?
Welcome home!
Ta-da!
-[all gasp in surprise]
-[Ellie screams]
[shrieks] Don't--
I am so sorry.
I told the staff to clean it up.
I am so sorry.
-Ellie, don't worry.
It's absolutely fine.
-Really,
it's very sweet of you.
[chuckles]
-I know, why don't we all
go the terrace
for a nice cup of tea?
And I'll get them
to clean it up.
[lively chattering]
[Ellie] Isn't this fabu?
And you're welcome
to use the pool at any time,
it's so refreshing.
And the terrace over there,
that's where we serve the meals.
The food is amaazing.
And we have a pool gym
where you can work it all off
after if you need to.
[chuckles]
Isn't it the best?
-Yeah. It's-it's perfect, Ellie.
-Aww, Rachel.
You can really rest
and recover here.
Let the island heal you.
-Hmm.
-Knock, knock!
Oh, no.
I knew that this would happen.
-Amanda, I'm fine.
-No, no, no.
You're gonna put on
a sexy swimsuit
and get out there
in the sunshine.
-No, I'm just gonna hang in
here for a bit--
-[Amanda] No, no, no.
I'm not gonna have you
sitting in here.
Now, come on.
Put on this little number.
I'll see you in ten minutes.
I'll go and get Becca.
[birds chirping]
[cheerful perky music]
Hi.
-Hey! Come on in,
it's glorious!
-Yeah, I--
you kids have fun.
[chuckles] I'm gonna go
to the bar.
-You don't want to swim?
-Seriously?
The sun is not my friend.
The bar's in the shade,
and they have cocktails.
[chuckles]
What's not to love?
Hmm.
-[whispers] I'm coming.
Whoo.
-Come on, Rebecca!
-Noo!
[both] Come on! Come in!
[Amanda] Come on!
Come on!
[Rachel] You did it!
[laughs]
-Oh, you can
make it to the bar?
Okay. [laughs]
-We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
-Hi. I'm Rebecca.
-Hi, nice to meet you, Rebecca.
I'm Frank.
What can I get for you?
-Anything alcoholic.
Surprise me.
-Coming right up.
-Do you have one of those
little umbrellas?
[chuckles]
I like this bar.
-Amanda, where are we
gonna eat tonight?
You're the expert.
Find us somewhere good.
-Yeah, I'm on it!
-Hmm, when you do,
can we tell them you're
the food critic for The Herald
because then
we get a free dessert.
-I'll buy you
a dessert, Rebecca.
[Rebecca] Thank you.
-Oh, this looks good.
The Gin Trap.
-Did someone say gin?
-Good food?
-Yeah, looks like it.
-Boy, I love it already.
Let's go!
-I can never tell
if you're hungry or thirsty.
-Usually both. [slurps]
-Yes.
-All right, ladies.
Is there anything
Sexy Santa can do for you?
-Um, well--
actually, yeah.
[all laughing]
[funky EDM music]
[engine car revving]
-[gasps] Oh, wow!
[Amanda] Thank you so much.
Aww, lovely.
What a view! Amazing.
[chuckles]
[Rebecca] It's so beautiful!
Ooh, look! Gin.
[Rebecca laughs]
-[Amanda] Ohh!
[EDM music playing]
-Good evening!
Welcome to the Gin Trap.
You must be my 8:00 PM
reservation for three?
-Yes, Amanda Hartley.
-Wonderful.
I'm Monica, the manager.
-This place is beautiful.
-Thank you very much.
If you'd like to
follow me, please.
-This place is fabulous.
-Thank you. But wait
till you try the food.
Now, specials are on the back.
I can recommend
the lobster pasta.
It was freshly caught
this morning.
-Love lobster!
-Ooh, Amanda's the food critic
for the Herald newspaper
back in the UK.
-Becca!
-What??
I'm just so very proud of you.
-A food critic, huh?
Well, in that case,
I'll let the chef know
he'd better bring his A-game.
Let me give you a few minutes
to look at the menu
and then I'll get Tasha to come
and take your drink order.
-Thank you.
Becs, you're impossible!
-I'm sorry but you two
have the cool jobs.
When we come to a restaurant,
it's all about you,
and when we go to the theatre,
we casually drop in
that Rachel
is the theatre critic,
and we usually get
free ice-cream.
-Yeah, you casually drop it in.
We're usually hiding
behind a pillar somewhere,
dying from embarrassment.
-[laughs]
-Look, when we go
to the accountancy
and payroll festival,
you can tell them what I do
for a living, if you want.
And you might get a free pen.
-There's a festival for that?
-No, but there should be.
-Evening, ladies.
Can I get you some drinks?
-Oh.
-Yes, please!
-What about
a nice bottle of ros!
-Hmm, we have a lovely one
from the South of France,
perfectly chilled.
Are we celebrating
anything special?
-Umm.
[Rachel] Yes.
We're celebrating friendship.
-Aww.
-I do love lobster,
so I'm going to go
for the lobster.
I just--
I couldn't work it out.
I kept staring at him
and suddenly,
it dawned on me, I realized--
where I recognized him from--
I had been out with his dad
just the month before!
-No!!!
-Yes!!
They were both excellent.
-[Rachel] Oh!
-Amanda, I'm in awe!
-I'm divorced, not dead.
-Yeah, but you always
seem to get the guy.
And they're nice guys!
-Hm.
-That's because I let them know
who's boss and they love it,
and I can't help it
if they find me adorable.
-You are adorable. [laughs]
[Alessandro]
I see you all talking.
[speaks in foreign language]
-[man] Good to see you.
Thank you.
-Oh, you're a lucky man.
You enjoy the dinner?
[speaks in foreign language]
Everything okay?
Dinner was good?
-[chuckles]
[Alessandro speaks in
foreign language]
-[chuckles]
-[speaks in foreign language]
Welcome, ladies.
-Hello, my name is Amanda.
-[speaks in foreign language],
Amanda.
I'm Alessandro, owner,
and head chef, at your service.
-It should be illegal
to be so handsome and cook.
-Amanda!
I'm so sorry about my friend,
I'm Rachel.
-Hello, Ra--
[romantic music playing]
I hope that dinner
was to your liking.
-Oh--it was amazing.
I don't know what you do
to that lobster,
but it should come
with a warning.
It's addictive.
I can come back every day--
for the lobster.
-I'll be happy to cook you
dinner every day.
I notice
you didn't have dessert.
A chocolate souffl, perhaps?
It's my speciality.
-That would be amazing.
-It does sound amazing,
but unfortunately,
we're leaving.
-We are?
-[Rebecca] We are?
-We are.
-Really? So soon?
You enjoyed dinner?
-Oh, yes. No, it's been
absolutely lovely.
Unfortunately,
we do have to go now.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
[background conversation]
Thanks.
-[laughs]
-What just happened?
-I don't know,
but I might as well
have been invisible.
One look at you and
the rest of us ceased to exist.
-Yeah, Amanda, why did you
make us leave so quickly?
-Come on, everyone knows
when the thunderbolt strikes,
you exit.
-What?!
-Yeah. Come on,
everybody saw it.
He took one look at you
and the angels started singing.
-It was practically
in slow motion
with a soft filter.
-Then why leave so quickly?
I mean, he was kinda gorgeous.
-Absolutely!
And you're back on the market.
We've got to plan this.
Can't have you wandering in
willy-nilly.
You've got to be prepped.
-I'm not sure
I want to be prepped.
-Yes, you do.
I shall teach you my ways.
-Well, and is
one of these ways
just running off immediately
as soon as you meet someone?
-Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely.
Leave him wanting more.
He's not gonna be able to
stop thinking about you.
-She's right.
We left so quickly
I can't stop thinking
about that chocolate souffl.
Come on.
-What have I let myself in for?
[sighs]
I've just met
this gorgeous guy.
I mean,
who would've thought it?
Ahh, the way he was
looking at me and his accent.
Mm, kind of dreamy.
I mean, what if--
-Hello, you!
Oh, don't be sad.
Everything's gonna be all right.
-Oh, men, huh.
-Oh, you don't need to
tell me how useless men are.
No, indeed-ey.
Let me tell you my story.
Twenty years ago,
I moved to Florida,
I met this gorgeous guy.
Un-believable!
The next thing I know,
he's moved in,
right under my nose.
-Ohh. [chuckles]
-All of a sudden,
the romance vanishes.
Poof, gone.
-Aww, sorry.
-And not only is he
a giant worthless layabout,
but he's
a conspiracy theory freak.
-What?!
-[Ellie] Yeah.
Starts wearing
those tin foil hats
and saying the aliens
are talking to him
through the radio.
A total loon!
And just when I thought
it couldn't get worse--
-It got worse??
-It did!
I went to visit my sister
for a week.
One week! I come back,
and he's moved his three
illiterate, computer-playing,
conspiracy-theory buddies in.
-Noo.
-Good job I had a gun.
-So, [stutters]
you shot them?
-Oh no, I just waved it around
and told them
if they didn't leave,
I would shoot them.
Got rid of them.
-[laughs]
[Ellie] Spooked me out of
Florida. and here I am.
A little older,
a lot wiser.
Trust me, I know exactly
how men can be.
[laughs]
You feel better now, right?
-Yeah, I do.
-Misery loves company.
-[laughs] Yeah.
-Okay.
My work here is done.
-[sighs]
[crickets chirping]
[Tasha] It's a good thing he's
got us looking out for him.
[Monica] They'll soon realize
they're wasting their time.
[approaching footsteps]
-[sighs]
What are you two
whispering about?
-Oh, just
chocolate souffl.
-What?!
-I didn't like
those British women tonight.
Coming in here and practically
throwing themselves at you.
-[scoffs] They weren't
"practically throwing
themselves" at me.
I was just being nice
to the customers.
-Sure.
Well, it ain't happening.
I'm telling you now.
I'm not letting some woman
who just wants a fling
swoop in here
and break your heart.
Not on my watch, Dad.
-[speaks in foreign language]
My little, Monica.
Always looking out for me, eh?
Come on, let's turn in.
[speaks in foreign language]
-I'll lock up.
See you tomorrow.
-Night, Tasha.
-Good night, boss.
[car approaching]
[door closes]
-Good evening, David.
Everything okay?
-No problem, sir.
He's asleep.
-Great.
Be safe getting home, okay?
-Sure thing.
See you tomorrow.
-I'm going to bed, Dad.
-Monica, I appreciate you
looking out for me.
But not every woman
is out to get me.
-Oh please,
I may be your daughter,
but even I know
you're a catch.
Night, Dad.
-Good night.
[]
[sighs]
[crickets chirping]
[fountain splashing]
[Rachel]
It just looks so pretty.
-Oh! There she is.
The woman of the hour.
How did you sleep?
-Like a baby.
-Dreaming about
Prince Charming, is it?
-I dreamed about
that lobster pasta.
Yes, love.
-Amanda, I didn't dream
about anyone.
Can we just drop it?
-Oh, no, no.
We can't, no.
It is now our mission
to set you up with the--
thank you--
sexy Italian chef.
-I just broke up with someone.
I don't think I'm ready.
-Darling,
you were about to marry a man
you'd known for
three and a half months.
I've got cheese in my fridge
older than that.
-I don't. [laughs]
I mean, [clears throat]
she's right, though.
You need to get back
on the horse.
And he's really dreamy.
-You know,
we don't even know
if he was really interested.
-Oh, please.
Even the lobster could tell.
And it was dead and smothered
in delicious sauce.
-Well, even if
I were interested,
I am quite capable
of finding my own guy,
thank you very much, ladies.
-[laughs loudly]
Sorry, darling.
No, you have a talent
for picking losers.
No, this guy is perfect.
He's sexy, he's settled--
-He can cook!
-He can cook!
-You're not gonna give up,
are you?
-No.
-Okay, fine.
-Right. We need a plan.
-Oops, hello.
Sounds like you ladies
are planning a coup.
-Even better.
We're setting Rachel up
with the love of her life.
-What?!
One night on the island,
and you find a man. Girl!
-No, I just have
two very annoying friends
who won't take no
for an answer.
-Okay. So, what's the plan?
-Right. We've already
identified the target.
Now, we need to collate data.
Find out his routine.
Get to know his habits.
And then, we need
to meticulously plot
an accidental meeting.
-Oh my gosh, she is good.
So, who's the lucky guy?
-Alessandro,
the hot chef from the Gin Trap.
[chuckles]
-That's your target?
Oh, such a sad story.
You know, every woman
on the island
has crushed on him
at some point.
Guilty! But you know what?
You are perfect for him.
Wait, we've got time.
Ladies, grab your things,
dress for a workout.
I'm going to take you
straight to the target.
-Oh, God!
-I like to get here
really early
before anyone arrives.
[Rachel] What a view.
-Oh, just you wait, baby.
It gets better.
How's that for a view?
[]
There he is,
your dream man.
Every morning,
he runs down there,
and it's so worth
getting up early for,
I can tell you.
-[Rebecca chuckles]
-[sighs] Sometimes I come
down here with a cup of coffee
and just sit and admire.
[Amanda] Anyway,
back to the mission.
-Okay. All you've got to do
is jog down there,
run along,
"Oh, what a coincidence!
Fancy seeing you here!"
-Oh, I like your style.
Let's do this, girls!
[all panting heavily]
[Rachel] I can't believe
you talked me into this.
-[panting]
I can't believe I'm jogging.
I hate to sweat.
-Yeah, me too!
-[panting]
Listen, just remember,
be smiley, be sexy.
Above all, be smiley.
Oh!
-Ladies,
how nice to see you!
-Alessandro,
fancy seeing you here!
-Hi, Alessandro.
-If I knew
you were all runners,
we could have run together.
-[Amanda chuckles politely]
Darling?
Are you all right?
-[wheezing]
[Amanda] Do you want to
sit this out for a bit?
-Okay.
-We're gonna have to cut
this short.
Do you two mind
running on alone together?
-[Rebecca wheezing]
-Why do I feel like
we've just been set up?
-Yeah, because my friends
are great girls,
but subtlety is not
one of their strong points.
-Okay, so shall we jog?
-Uh, hey,
how about a walk?
It's just that I find it
difficult running on the sand.
-Of course.
Let's go.
-Good.
-So, what brings you
to St. Kitts?
-Oh, you know,
just a girls' holiday.
-No. I'm not buying it.
There is more.
Everyone who comes here
for Christmas has a story.
So, what's yours?
-Well, it's kind of a sad story.
-I'm listening.
-I was supposed
to be getting married,
but my fianc
had other ideas.
This was meant to be
my honeymoon.
-That is sad.
-Yeah, but you know,
I think it was for the best.
I actually don't think
he's the one at all.
-But you were
going to marry him.
-[laughs] I know, I know.
And I know how that looks.
But I really thought
that by now,
I'd be married with children,
and. I'm not.
I think I loved the idea
of being married
more than I actually loved him.
Ouch. Harsh.
Hmm.
-Yeah. Well, he left me.
-Good point.
He's an idiot. Okay?
[laughs]
-So that is my story.
What about you?
How come you ended up here?
-[sighs]
I came here five years ago
after my wife died.
-Alessandro,
I'm so sorry!
-I felt the change of scenery
could be good.
And it's a better
way of life here.
Plus, the kids love it.
-You have kids?
-[chuckles]
Yes, I have two.
You met Monica last night.
-Oh, wow.
She's your daughter?
-Yes.
-Well, gosh.
You must be really proud of her.
-I am.
She's just amazing.
So grown up for 19.
And then, I have a son as well,
-Oh.
-Rafael.
He's seven and wonderful.
Just adorable.
-How could you let me
prattle on about my sad story
when--I mean, you really
have a sad story.
-You didn't get
your happy ever after.
So, you're allowed to be sad.
But not today!
Today, you come with me,
and you choose your lobster
for dinner, okay?
-Okay.
-Come on, let's go.
Good morning, Bastian,
how are you today?
-Hello!
Good to see you.
My favourite chef.
How are you doing?
-[Alessandro speaks in
foreign language]
-Ah, I see you brought company.
-Wow! [laughs]
-This is Rachel.
A very special guest
on the island.
She's come to pick out
a lobster for tonight.
-Hi.
-Rachel,
welcome to paradise.
Now, let me help you pick out
a nice fat lobster just for you.
-Wow.
So, you've got to tell me.
What is in that sauce you use?
It's to die for.
-I couldn't
possibly tell you that.
Trade secret.
I tell you what.
Why don't you come a little
early tonight at the restaurant,
and I'll show you
how I make it.
As long as you promise not to
share the recipe with anybody?
-Yeah, rumour has it that
all the ladies on the island
have a crush on you.
-Well, you must be very special
because he doesn't
bring anyone down here.
-Ohh.
-[Bastian] Ahh. Here you go!
Special lobster,
for the special lady.
-[laughs] Thank you.
-Thank you.
-[Bastian] You're welcome.
-Bye.
You chose a great one.
-[exhales]
-Well, that's enough yoga.
How'd you get on
with the sexy chef?
-[Rebecca] Yeah, Rach.
-[laughs]
-I didn't have an asthma
attack on the beach
so you could keep stumm.
Spill.
-He's lovely, but.
you know what?
I just think
it's still too soon.
[Amanda]
Oh, she really likes him!
[Rachel] No!
-Yes, you do.
You've gone all coy.
-[Amanda laughs]
-Fine, he's fabulous.
I mean, he's just--fabulous.
-Oh, yes.
This is excellent.
[Rachel]
Well, he's got two kids.
You know that manager
at the Gin Trap,
that is his daughter,
and he has a younger son.
-Divorced?
-Widowed.
[Rebecca and Amanda] Aww.
-You didn't tell him
the real reason
we're here, did you?
-Shouldn't I have?
-Well, now he'll know
you're on the rebound.
-No, no, no.
He's not like that.
He is nice.
He's really nice.
In fact, he's invited us
to the Gin Trap again tonight.
-Yes! Chocolate souffl!
[chuckles]
And the potential for Rachel
to live happily ever after.
It's wonderful.
[Amanda] Yes.
This is going very well.
Now, gotta wear
something sexy.
-Okay.
[crickets chirping]
[Amanda giggles excitedly]
-I can't believe I let you
talk me into wearing this.
It's too much.
-It's just enough.
-[chuckles] If those puppies
don't get us a free drink,
I don't know what will.
-I can't do this.
-Oh, okay.
Don't panic.
I'll buy us our drinks.
-Darling, look at me.
It just dinner. It's fine.
-Promise?
-Promise.
You wanna borrow this?
[Rachel] Yeah. [sighs]
-There we go.
-[Rebecca] Ooh.
-Oh yes.
-That's gorgeous.
-[sighs] Thanks, girls.
I don't know
what came over me.
[Rebecca and Amanda giggle]
-Oh. Selfie, selfie.
-Oh.
-Okay. Everybody say
lobster thermidor.
[all] Thermidor. [laughing]
-Go, go, go.
Come on. Come on.
Whoo.
We're back.
-Oh.
Um--Hello.
[chuckles]
Hello.
-Good evening, ladies.
Back so soon?
-Hello, again.
We're here for dinner.
-Oh. Did you book?
-Um--no.
-Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll fully booked tonight.
Absolutely rammed.
I couldn't possibly
find space for you.
[Rebecca] Yeah.
Looks crazy busy. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-Rachel, you made it!
Good evening, ladies.
I saved for you the best table
near the kitchen.
But if you'll forgive me,
I will steal
your friend away now.
I promised to show her
something in the kitchen.
-Steal away. [chuckles]
-You look amazing.
-Oh, no.
This old thing.
Thank you.
[]
-[laughs]
Hi.
-Hmm.
-Cuddle up a little closer
Lovey mine
Cuddle up and be
My little clinging vine
Like to feel your cheeks
So rosy
Like to make you
Comfy cozy
Cuz I love
From head to toesy
Lovey mine
Cuddle up a little closer
Cuddle up and be
My little clinging vine
Like to feel your cheeks
So rosy
Like to make you
Comfy cozy
Cuz I love
From head to toesy
[Rebecca] [chuckles] To think
we almost stayed home
for Christmas.
-[laughs] I know.
And it is so much better here.
-I have to say it,
girls, thank you.
-Oh.
We've always got your back.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Oh. [yawns]
I'm so tired.
Must be all the exercise.
I think I'm going
to have an early night.
-No. Oh, oh.
Yes.
[yawns]
Alessandro, could you possibly
give our friend a lift home?
-Of course,
I'll take good care of her.
-Oh. Thank you so much.
-Subtle, girls.
-Please.
-You're welcome.
-Good night.
-Good night, Amanda.
Good night.
-[Amanda] Lovely time.
-[chuckles]
-I like it here.
-It's hard to imagine
ever leaving.
-Why would you wanna leave?
It's like paradise.
-The company helps.
-Monica seems like
a very grown-up young lady.
-Don't get me wrong,
she can be
a bit of a handful at times,
but she's amazing,
considering everything
we went through.
-Yeah. It must have been
terrible for you all,
losing your wife so young.
I-I can't even imagine.
-It was tough.
It still is, at times.
-Well, I think you've done
a really great job.
You must be doing
something right.
-How about giving up
being a theatre critic
and becoming a sous chef?
-[laughs]
Well, you know,
I may have missed my calling.
All those nights wasted,
sitting in the back of a dark
theatre, reviewing plays.
-Must be exciting, though.
All these glamorous parties,
these opening nights.
-Well, it has its moments.
But, you know, I grew up
in the countryside.
I'm not really
a city girl at all.
In fact,
I'd be quite happy living a.
really simple life somewhere,
if I were happy.
-Are you happy right now?
-Very.
[crunch of wheels on gravel]
Thanks for the ride.
-My pleasure.
Rachel, if you don't have
other plans for tomorrow,
why I don't pick you up
and then I can
show you the island?
-On Christmas Eve?
-Do you have other plans?
-Um--Well, no.
Not really.
I mean, in the UK, we
usually just go to the pub,
get drunk and run home
to defrost the turkey.
-Sounds fun. [chuckles]
So that's a yes for the tour?
-Definite yes.
-Great.
So, I'll pick you up at nine.
-Right.
Good night.
-Good night, Rachel.
[crickets chirping]
[rumble of approaching vehicle]
[engine turns off]
-[Alessandro muttering]
[door opens and closes]
Monica, I thought
you'd be asleep by now.
-And what time
do you call this?
-I'm sorry. What?
-I guess it took you forever to
close the restaurant tonight.
I would have expected you back
ages ago.
-[scoffs]
All right, Monica. I get it.
You worry about me,
and I appreciate that.
But you are my daughter,
and I'm your father.
Rachel is a lovely woman,
and if I wanna spend time
with her, I will.
In fact I'm taking her
on a tour of the island
tomorrow morning
at nine o'clock.
Oh, if that is okay with you,
young lady?
-[scoffs]
-And now,
I'm going to bed.
And I suggest you do the same.
Good night.
[]
-[sighs]
-[door closes]
[]
[woman] It's been incredible.
-Well, enjoy your breakfast.
-Thank you so much.
-[Ellie] You're welcome.
-Morning, Rachel!
-Monica! Hi!
I-I wasn't expecting to see you.
Everything okay?
-Yeah.
Something came up
and my dad couldn't make it.
So, he sent me.
-He sent you?
-He said you wanted
to see the island.
I'm here to give you
the grand tour!
-Okay.
[woman] Thank you.
I'm really excited.
-Have a good one.
-Good morning, Ellie!
What a beautiful morning!
-Alessandro!
You're looking very perky today.
-It's gonna be a great day.
Have you seen Rachel?
-Oh, you just missed her.
-We made plans.
-That's odd.
-What?
-Monica came by.
I saw her talking to Rachel.
They got in the car together
and took off.
-I told her I'll pick her up
at nine o'clock.
-Oh. I'm sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
They probably off
having a lovely time.
-[screams]
No!
[ATV engine revving]
Slow down!
Monica! Stop!
Stop!
[screams]
-[Monica laughs]
[Rachel] [gasps] This isn't
exactly what I had in mind!
[screams]
No!
[continues screaming]
Stop!
[engine dies down]
-So, did you like it?
-Invigorating.
[Monica] Great.
Now listen up.
I'm telling you now,
woman to woman,
I'm sure you're a lovely person
and all that,
but stay away from my dad.
-I--I don't know
what you're talking about.
-Yes, you do.
I've seen the way
you look at him.
And believe me,
you're not the first, okay.
He doesn't need you.
He doesn't need anyone.
We've been perfectly fine
for the past five years,
just us.
So, just mind your own business,
finish your little holiday
with your friends and leave.
You hear me?
-Loud and clear.
[]
-Hello.
How are you today?
-[man] I'm great.
-Isn't it lovely?
[sighs]
-[murmured conversation]
-Hey, darling.
It's nice to see you out
in the daylight, Dracula.
You're the only person I know
comes to the Caribbean
in the winter,
doesn't try to get a tan.
-You know, if I stayed
here for like a year,
I'd probably get
some sort of colour but.
just a darker shade of pale,
so really, what's the point.
Anyway, you're seem to be
doing enough running around
for the two of us.
And I don't just mean
in the sun.
-I don't know
what you're talking about.
-So that wasn't
that sexy barman
that I heard sneaking out of
your room this morning?
-You're entirely mistaken.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah.
He wasn't sneaking.
He was crawling.
-[laughs] Oh, incredible.
[phone pings]
Oh, it's Rach.
SOS. She's in the lobby.
Are you okay?
Where have you been?
-She tried to kill me!
-What?
-Who?
-Monica,
Alessandro's daughter.
-That sweet, innocent girl
from the Gin Trap?
-Yes, that one.
She tried to kill me.
-How?
-She took me
on a "sightseeing tour"
in one of those death buggies.
-A death what now?
-You know,
she drove like a mad woman.
I had to cling to stay on.
I nearly got flung to my death.
She did it on purpose.
She wants me dead.
-Well, I can think of
easier ways to kill someone,
but it's original.
-She hates me.
She doesn't want me
to see Alessandro again.
She made that perfectly clear.
I mean, what am I gonna do?
[groans]
-Where have you been??
-I, uh.
-I know you took Rachel
somewhere.
What did you do?
[phone pings]
-Please tell me you're
not doing emails to work.
-No, just--something.
-Why don't you try booking us
on an earlier flight home?
-Oh. Come on,
it's not that bad.
-What if he did
send her in his place?
I mean, what if this whole
connection is in my imagination.
And actually, he doesn't
wanna see me again.
[Alessandro]
Hey, Rachel!
I'm so glad to see you.
-Uh--Well, there's
that theory gone out the window.
-Hello, ladies.
[all] Mm-hmm.
-I'm so sorry about Monica.
She told me what she did.
-Oh, I'm-I'm sure it was
just a misunderstanding.
I mean, everything's fine.
-You said
that she was trying to--
-She was just trying
to show me a different,
you know, side of the island.
-[chuckles]
-Well, I'm sorry.
She can be a bit
overprotective sometimes.
I've spoken to her.
-[Rachel] Oh, no, no.
I-I don't wanna cause
any trouble.
-No, you're not.
Look, we're having a barbecue
at the house for lunch.
Why don't you come?
-Oh, I-I don't know.
[Alessandro] Please.
I'd love you to come.
You both are more than welcome
to join us as well, of course.
-Oh. Thank you so much.
But I have a date.
-Yeah.
And you know, it kills me
to turn down good barbecue
but I have some stuff to do.
You should go.
-So, it's okay?
Why-why don't you come
around one?
-Okay, I'd love to.
-Great.
So, it's better I go
to get ready the barbecue.
See you later. Ciao.
[Amanda] Bye.
See?
-Oh, that's a connection.
[laughter]
-Well, I mean,
it can't be any worse
than this morning, right?
-No.
Just stay away from Monica
if she's holding barbecue tongs
or anything sharp.
Eeeh, eeh.
-[laughs] You should go.
Smooth things out.
But don't wear heels
in case you gotta run.
-[Rebecca scoffs]
-Thanks, Amanda.
[laughs]
[]
Now, that's
a Christmas tree.
-Come on.
Let's go see the kids.
Kids.
Rafael, this is Rachel.
-Hi, Rachel.
Have you time
to play catch with me?
-Ooh.
That sounds like fun.
Mm. Smells delicious.
Monica, thanks very much for
the tour of the island earlier.
I told your dad
how much fun it was.
-Sorry if I went too fast.
I didn't mean to.
-No harm done.
-Okay. Let's eat.
[]
[laughs]
Very good joke, Rafael. Bravo.
[laughs]
-I'm gonna start
washing the dishes.
-Thank you so much
for inviting me.
I have had such a good day.
[Rafael] Rachel.
can you help me, please?
-Oh.
-Hey. What do you need, buddy?
-I want Rachel to help.
I have to write
my letters to Santa.
Can you help me?
-Of course, I can.
-Daddy says
that I have to be reasonable
for what I ask for.
-Okay. Well, would you
like me to take a look?
Okay.
Right.
Dear Santa.
Aww! I think
this is very reasonable
for a seven-year-old.
-It's not too much?
I was going to ask
for a rocket ship.
-[laughs]
Well, a rocket ship
might be a bit too much.
But this is perfect.
-Oh, I have
one more thing to add.
-Okay.
-Don't look,
it's a secret.
-Okay.
-Hey, what are you two up to?
Hmm?
-It's a secret.
-Yup. It's a secret.
-Rachel, are you coming here
for Christmas day?
-Oh. Well, I wasn't planning to.
-You have to.
Right, Daddy? She should come
for Christmas.
-Yeah, we would love
if you spend Christmas with us.
-I mean, I'd love to.
But, I can't really abandon
Rebecca and Amanda.
-Bring them.
-Please?
-All right.
I'd love to.
We'd love to. Thanks.
-Yay! Now, Daddy, go.
We're busy.
-Okay.
[chuckles]
-[laughs]
All done?
-Yup.
-Okay. Well, you know what?
I think we should take this
and put it
on the Christmas Tree,
so that Father Christmas
can find it.
-Yes! Let's do it.
-Okay.
-Hey-yah.
-He's a sweetheart.
-[chuckles]
Do you have to
get back right now?
-Um. I mean, I'm gonna be
meeting the girls
later for drinks. But. why?
-I was wondering if you would
like to go out on a boat?
-On a boat?
-Mm.
-What, now?
-Why not?
Monica will look after Rafael.
And I thought it would be nice
to spend some time together,
just the two of us.
-I'd love that.
-[Amanda laughs]
-[Rebecca] You're terrible.
I can't take you anywhere.
Seriously.
-[Amanda] Hi.
-Try this.
Tell me what you think.
-[Rebecca] Mm.
Wow.
-Too strong?
-My eyes are watering,
and I can't feel my tongue.
It's perfect.
-Are you trying
to get us drunk?
-Would you like me to?
[Amanda] Um.
[laughs]
-Amanda, he's um.
[clears throat]
a little older than you
normally go for.
-I'm an equal opportunities
employer.
What can I tell you?
-[laughs]
Do you think you'll
ever get married again?
-Um, well, uh.
I don't know.
Maybe?
If I meet someone
who has the same
appetite for life that I have.
But till then.
Hello, what's your name?
-Winston.
-Amanda.
-Very nice
to meet you, Amanda.
-[Rebecca slurps her drink]
[sighs] Hmm.
-Delicious. Aren't you?
-[snorts and chuckles]
[]
-[chuckles]
How am I supposed to
go back to reality after this?
-It's magical, isn't it?
-How does a chef
afford a boat like this?
Are you a secret millionaire?
-I wish!
It's my friend, Winston's.
He owns the Belle Mont Farm.
-No way! Small world.
[sighs] This is just.
unbelievable.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
-The island or--?
-I mean, what is this?
I've only known you
a few days but,
I feel like it's been forever.
This is insane.
I was supposed to be
on my honeymoon!
Am I crazy?
-No, you're not crazy.
If you are, so am I.
Rachel, the first night
I saw you at the restaurant,
I don't know what happened,
but it just felt so natural.
There you were--
-Alessandro,
I'm supposed to be going back
the day after tomorrow.
-I'll take it.
If that's all we have,
I'll take it.
All I know is I absolutely want
to spend Christmas with you.
[]
-Let me get you a Pisco Sour.
I learned how to make it
in this backstreet bar in Peru.
-[Amanda] Ooh.
-The barman was 80 years old.
You've never tasted
anything like it.
-Hmm.
-Quite the man of mystery,
aren't you, Winston?
-Is that a bad thing?
-Amanda has a thing
for cute barmen.
-Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm.
Especially ones
who know their way
around the cocktail menu.
-I'm just gonna--
get some rest.
-Now, let's get
serious about this.
I like this one.
I really liked this one.
But the drink I really,
really like is this drink.
I love this drink.
This is my favourite drink.
This is the drink
I could come on in
and just suck and suck it.
And I really liked it,
please make me another one.
Please.
-With pleasure, madam.
-Thank you.
Now, cheers.
-Thank you.
Thank you for everything.
It's. just been a perfect day.
-Yes. It really was.
[]
-Are you sure
you don't wanna come in
for a drink with me
and the girls?
-I would love to, but,
I have the kids
waiting for me at home.
-Well, Happy Christmas Eve.
-I really have to go now.
If not, I will kiss you
all night.
Happy Christmas Eve.
[Rachel] [voice-over]
Oh, wow. What a day.
I mean, he seems perfect.
So kind and sweet.
And his kids!
He is so sweet with his kids.
And it seems like
he really likes me, right?
What if he is my missing
puzzle piece?
-Ooh, Rach!
Ooh, you're back.
I'm here.
[Rachel] Hi.
Hi. I was just about to
come find you,
but-but you know what?
I just needed a moment.
-Are you okay?
How was the barbecue?
-Wonderful.
He is wonderful.
-I'm so happy for you.
You smell like the ocean.
[giggles] What did he cook?
-Where's Amanda?
-Oh, she's at the bar.
She found a new barman, and
naturally he's smitten by her.
Oh, look, there she is.
Amanda!
-[gasps] There you are.
You thought
you could shake me off.
But you can't shake me off
because I am here.
[gasps]
You look absolutely glowing.
Was it fabulous?
-Did you kiss him?
-Of course,
she didn't kiss him.
The kids were there.
-Oh, right. Sorry.
-He took me out on a boat.
Just the two of us.
After the barbecue.
And it was magical.
-Hmm.
-[Amanda] She kissed him.
[chuckles]
-[Rebecca] Yeah. She did.
-And he's invited us
for Christmas day tomorrow.
-Oh goodie!
Can you imagine
the Christmas dinner
that man's going to make?
Ooh!
-Oh-oh.
It's so sweet of him.
So, it'll be Alessandro
and his kids.
And us and ours.
-[laughs]
-[Winston] Hello, ladies.
-Oh. Winston.
-Sounds like you could use
some bubbles.
-Winston, you know the way
to a lady's heart.
[Rachel] Wait, wait--
You're Winston?!
I was just on your yacht!
-You have a yacht?
-Yes, I have a yacht.
I hope you had
a good time today.
Alessandro is a good
friend of mine.
-Oh, you know what?
I had the best time.
Listen, we're gonna go
for Christmas day tomorrow.
What are we gonna do
for presents?
-That's easy. We have
a boutique here at the hotel.
I'll open it for you.
[Amanda] You can do that?
-Yes, why not?
It's my hotel.

[Monica] I love it, Dad.
Thank you.
-Happy Christmas, darling.
-Thanks, Dad.
-Don't you like it?
I thought
that's what you wanted.
-No, I love it. Thanks.
It's just--
-What is it, Rafael?
-I asked Santa
for something else,
and I didn't get it.
-What was it?
-It's okay. Maybe it was
too much to ask for.
-Aww.
Are you okay, champ?
-Yeah.
Thanks for my presents.
[Alessandro] Hmm.
-Happy Christmas, Dad.
-Merry Christmas, kids.
[all] Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas, Rachel.
-Now, these are my friends,
Amanda, and Rebecca.
-Hello, Amanda.
Hello, Rebecca.
-[Amanda] Darling.
-Hi, Rafael.
[Rachel] And you already
know Winston.
-Oh, I thought
I heard the car.
Merry Christmas.
[all] Merry Christmas.
-What time's lunch?
What? [clears throat]
[Amanda] So I said, can you get
something from the stuffing
and I'm thinking a lemon;
they came up with a pineapple.
[all laughing]
-Well, okay.
Christmas is Christmas. Right?
[Winston] Christmas
just brings everything.
-[Rebecca] The food is amazing.
-[Amanda] Exactly.
-Happy Christmas,
beautiful people!
[Alessandro] Ellie.
Merry Christmas, Ellie.
I'm glad you could make it.
-I wasn't about to miss out on
the greatest love story ever.
And I want a front row seat.
[all laughing]
-I forgot
the cranberry sauce.
-Oh, I'll lend you a hand.
-Alessandro,
you got enough food here
to feed the five thousand.
-I got some extra
because I knew
Rebecca was coming.
-[with a stuffed mouth]
What?!
-Nothing.
[all laughing]
-These are really good.
-[gasps]
-[gasps]
-Can you please
pass the turkey, please.
[Alessandro] Aah!
[all laughing]
-You've ruined everything!
[sobs]
-Sweetheart,
it's only cranberries.
-No! It's all ruined.
-Why are you so upset?
-Because of you!
You came in here and you made
my dad fall in love with you.
And I told you not to,
but you did it anyway.
And now Rafael likes you too
and you're just--
and you're just gonna leave
and mess everything up.
[sobbing]
What am I supposed to say to him
when he asks where you are
after you leave?
-I-I--
-He already lost one mom!
And now you're just gonna leave
and forget about him.
-Monica, I'm so sorry.
I-I didn't think about that.
I-I just got carried away.
-Oh, you think?
-Monica.
your father and I.
we haven't even
had a conversation
about what happens next.
-[sniffling]
He likes you.
I know he does.
But he knows you wouldn't stay.
-He told you that?
-No.
But I know my dad.
He won't ask you 'cause
he's scared you'll say no.
-Would you like me to stay?
Oh, Monica.
Monica, I never meant
to hurt any of you.
I'm so sorry.
I would like to stay.
-You would?
-I would.
If your dad wanted me to.
Please don't be mad at me
for falling for him.
I.
I kinda fell for all of you.
-But. how could you
possibly like me?
I've been nothing
but mean to you.
-Is everything--
Oh, my good grief.
What happened?
-Oh. We just
had a little accident
with the cranberry sauce.
-Oh my.
-It tastes good.
-[all laughing]
-Are you okay?
-Yeah. It's okay.
[chuckles]
-[murmured conversation]
-Sorry, everybody.
Bit of an issue
with the cranberry sauce.
-Oh. Never mind
cranberry sauce.
We're in the Caribbean!
Winston says
we have to have hot sauce
with the turkey, right?
-[Winston] Yes, you're right.
-I am right. [chuckles]
-Everything okay?
-Everything's fine.
-Guys, Merry Christmas!
[all] Merry Christmas!

Even better than last year.
Thank you.
Gotta get to the Christmas
bonfire at the beach.
-Ooh, there's a bonfire?
[Ellie] Christmas tradition.
You're gonna love it.
-The First Noel,
The Angels did say
Was to certain
Poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields where they lay
Keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night
That was so deep
Noel Noel
Noel Noel
Born is the king of Israel

[cheers and applause]
-[laughing]
-This may have been
the best Christmas ever.
Thank you.
-I meant what I said
in the boat.
I'll take what I can.
-Daddy, can we go home now?
I'm tired.
-Yes, son. We go.
Merry Christmas, Rachel.
-Merry Christmas.
Last breakfast, girls.
Gotta make it a big one.
[Amanda] Hmm.
-Oh. I'm gonna
miss you all so much.
-Aww.
-Having you ladies here
has been so much fun.
-Well, we have had
the best time, Ellie.
Thank you for making it
a really magical trip.
-Oh, that's not me.
It's the island.
I told you it would heal you.
-It did.
-No, really.
Ellie, thank you.
It's been absolutely wonderful.
-Yeah. You rock.
-Oh. You're gonna
make me cry.
See you in the lobby.
[all chuckling]
-[clears throat]
I have news.
-Yes?
-Look at this.
It's my blog.
-You have a blog?
-Yeah.
-You've got nearly
a million followers!
-I know! [chuckles]
Isn't it great?
I'm an influencer.
I have no idea what that means.
I just started it
when we got to the island.
I mean, it's not like
I could sunbathe or anything.
So, you know, I started
writing about the island.
-And its food.
-Well, duh.
[Amanda chuckles]
-Apparently, people like it.
-This is just unbelievable.
I mean, look,
you have sponsors!
You have people asking you where
you're planning to go next.
-Yeah.
-Oh.
-I'm not coming back to London.
[chuckles]
I'm going to Puerto Rico!
-What?
-[Amanda] What?
What about your job?
-I sent my resignation in
this morning.
-No way!
-Yes, way.
Oh, come on, you both know
that I really don't find
accountancy exciting.
And this is REALLY exciting.
I'm going to travel the world
and eat all the food.
-This is
absolutely perfect.
-This is just phenomenal.
Well done, you. Well done.
Well, it's just gonna be
me and you then flying home.
-Yeah, well, uh.
Here's the thing.
-[gasps] You're coming
to Puerto Rico with me?
-Um, no.
[stutters] Um.
-Ooh.
-Winston?
-Yeah.
-Yay.
-Yes.
Well, he's asked me
to go to Egypt
to spend New Year with him.
And I've never seen
the pyramids. So.
-You're going?
-Oh, yes.
-[giggles]
-That's amazing.
Oh, I'm so happy for you,
Amanda.
-[Amanda] Thank you.
-And you.
-Yeah.
-Well, it's just me then.
Well, I'm gonna miss you both.
-Why don't you stay here?
You know you want to.
-He hasn't asked me to.
-We're not abandoning you,
are we?
I kinda feel like we are.
-No! You girls did me the
biggest favour
in the whole world.
Not marrying that loser
was the best thing
I ever didn't do.
-[Rebecca and Amanda laughing]
-Okay?
I mean, you brought me here
and you really showed me
how amazing life could be.
I'm not gonna settle for less.
[laughs softly]
-Well, let's get you
to the airport.
-No, no, no.
No. Ladies, you stay here.
I'm gonna get there myself.
Make the most of your
last few days in paradise
before you go off on your.
sexy adventures.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, yes.
You know me,
I hate goodbyes anyway.
-Okay, well,
one last picture before we go.
-Okay.
To adventures.
-Yes.
-[camera clicks]
-[chuckles]
[Alessandro sighs]
[whisking]
[clink of cutlery]
-Daddy, is Rachel
coming to play today?
-No, Rafael.
She said goodbye
yesterday, remember?
-Is she coming back soon?
-I don't think so, champ.
You know, she lives in London.
It's very far away.
-I like her.
-I like her, too.
-Why didn't you ask her to stay?
-It's complicated.
-No, it's not.
You like her. She likes you.
End of story.
-Monica,
it's not that easy.
-Look, I may only be 19.
But even I can see that you two
are made for each other.
She would have stayed
if you'd asked her.
But you were too stubborn
or too scared to do it.
-She would've stayed?
She told you that?
-Wow, men really don't get it.
Rafael adores her,
and I like her.
She's in love with you, Dad.
And I know you love her too.
There's still time.
Her flight doesn't leave
until ten.
Dad, go get her!
-Go after Rachel, Daddy.
Please?

[rumble of rotor blades]
[Alessandro]
Stop! Stop! Stop!
-[indistinct].
-Stop! You gotta stop!
-Okay, okay, okay.
Stop! Stop!
-[sighs]
-Stop! Stop! Stop!
Rachel!
Rachel, I love you!
Don't go! Stop!
-[gasps]
-No. Rachel!
Wait! Wait!
I can't let you go!
I want you to stay!
Please! Take a chance on us
and stay here.
Stay with me.
Te amo! Te amo!
Te amo. Te amo.
I love you, Rachel.
Stay.
-[chuckles]
-Wow.
-I love you.
-I love you, too.
.Again
Make me believe
In love
Again and again
Believe in love again
No it didn't fly
Over my head
You're more than a lover
You're my best friend
[Rafael] [voice-over]
Dear Santa, for Christmas,
I would like a real family.
Love, Rafael.
-.Intellectual and it
Turns me on my darling
Your body flows
Like the sea lifts
Right this way
[Rachel] [voice-over] Maybe some
things are just meant to be.
I have to say, this is
the happiest I have ever been.
Simply wonderful,
Alessandro
and his gorgeous family.
This time, it feels right.
And I am exactly
where I want to be
and where I have always
dreamt of being.
Fingers crossed,
this is my happy ever after.
-Just give me one more day
Make me believe
[]
Hey
Believe in love again
Oh believe in
(Believe in)
Believe in
(Believe in)
Believe in love again
In love again

Another year
Away from home
It's Christmas day
When you're alone
The street is lit
There's magic in the night
Above the clouds
A shooting star
It shares a wish
It lights a spark
The hope that brings you
Closer everyday
It might take
A thousand shooting stars
To set me free
(Set me free)
I'd wait an eternity
I sure hate Christmas
Without you
Ooh-ooh
I lay awake as if a child
The fireplace is roaring now
It warms me up
But not quite
Like your touch
I can't forget
Your crooked smile
You held me close
You drove me wild
We made sweet love
Into the break of dawn
It might take
A thousand Christmas
'Coz I still miss you
You were a gift to me
I sure hate Christmas
Without you
[]
It might take a thousand
I love yous
To right me back
Just wanted to tell you that
I sure hate Christmas
Without you
Without you
[]
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
O Christmas tree,
O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
Not only green
Through summer's heat
But also winter's
Snow and sleet

O Christmas tree
How lovely are your branches
