Have Yourself a Sorelli Little Christmas
Previously on "Related" He kissed her in front of me.
He kissed you in front of a sister? This guy's got a pair.
- We slept together.
- Yeah.
And stupid, reckless, and fun.
It was fun.
Your mom is really excited about meeting you.
Tonight on "Related" I have an announcement to make.
Jason and I are seeing each other.
Awesome! Office relationships are awesome.
Countdown to in-law arrival -- 16 hours and 42 minutes.
I thought you would have carried your baby weight differently.
"Differently" how? Less puffy.
Patrick's on his way over.
Patrick? Who's that? My son.
How long was I gone? This one is Ann's.
All right, we have to talk about this.
Every single present I wrap, you put in that pile, and every single present you wrap, you put in that pile.
Why? Not all of them.
Well, all of them except for the one that came wrapped.
Are you gonna re-wrap the presents? No.
I'm just gonna make them look a little prettier.
Why do I even bother? Because we're wrapping presents together.
It's fun! Do I bother wrapping this one? Who's it for? My parents.
Oh, you may continue.
Wait a minute.
That was supposed to go out like two weeks ago, Bob.
Yeah.
It's gonna cost us a fortune now to guarantee it's gonna get to England in time.
Uh, the thing is, love, um, it's all right because my parents may come here to get the present, so they'll have the present on time.
Your parents are coming? When? Two or three days -- two days.
Is there anything else that you'd like to spring on me? You have a mistress? You're gay? I was gonna tell you, darling.
When?! Well, before they got here, for sure.
How long have you known about this? They mentioned it last Christmas.
Oh, a year? It wasn't official then.
It's been official for three months.
Darling, you had morning sickness then.
You know, I didn't want to give you anything else to throw up about.
I can't believe you are springing this on me now.
I didn't want to upset you.
That's why I didn't tell you.
You know, so the longer I left it, the less time you'd have to be upset.
Of course it's upsetting me, Bob.
Your mother hates me.
She doesn't hate you, darling.
We've been over this.
She's british.
On the outside, she appears to be unpleasant, and on the inside she's just cold.
I knew you'd come around.
You know what I'm gonna do? I am gonna go out and get you an extra present.
Where are they staying? I'm gonna go out and get you two extra presents.
Nice shirt.
Says the girl who picked it out this morning.
What can I say? I have good taste.
When did you get here? 10 minutes ago.
I told you subway beats a cab.
So, think we spaced it out enough? I don't know, but I'm thinking maybe it defeats the point of arriving separately if we have a loud conversation about it.
Uh-oh.
Little Sherman heard! Uh-oh, Sherman.
Don't pet her.
She has an ear infection.
Sorry.
Okay, I'm -- I'm gonna go get some work done.
No, you're not.
How did you know? I have an announcement to make.
Oh.
Okay, you want me to get Kathy? Dear god, no.
I want to talk to you about Jason.
What about Jason? Well, things are going to get a little crazy holiday-'tis-the-season-busy, right? And I just, you know, cannot bear all this sneaking around.
I think it's time for all of us to put our cards on the table.
- Okay.
- Trish, what are you doing? I want you to know that Jason and I are seeing each other.
Awesome! Office relationships are awesome.
Jason, you got anything to add? Uh, uh, they are awesome.
Mmm.
Well said.
So, you know, we're gonna be kissing in front of you and cuddling and, you know, because for me, that's fun, and I'm feeling festive.
And you, my underling, you are going to make sure that this is kept between the three of us and away from the clients, yes? I'm excellent at keeping office things quite.
Good.
It means a lot to me that I can trust you with this.
Actually, I trust that you're too scared of me to tell anyone, but, you know, that's potato, "potahto.
" Okay.
Wow.
I, for one, feel very good about this! Yes.
Me too.
Love this job.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
I tried calling you after the restaurant thing.
Yeah, I tried to get in touch with you, too.
So what happened? I saw you out there, and then you just disappeared.
I don't know.
I-I wanted to come in.
I just couldn't do it.
I tried to, I started to, and then the next thing I knew, I was on the "R" train.
Is Patrick mad? Well, he wasn't happy.
He's starting to think that you don't want to meet him.
No, I do.
I got scared.
I know.
What's he like? Well he's really sweet.
Does he have brown eyes? His father had brown eyes.
No, he has blue eyes.
- Like me.
- Yeah.
Well, did he say anything about his adoptive parents? Were they good to him? You know, he didn't really talk about that much.
Does he have long fingers? His father played the piano.
Renee, you're trying to meet him without actually meeting him.
Oh, god.
Okay, all right.
I'll call him again.
What's your schedule like? I think this is something you need to do without me.
The other day if Patrick was in there all by himself, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have left him alone.
Okay.
I'm on my own.
Ah, there's the Renee touch.
Hey, look about this morning.
I had no idea Trish was gonna do that.
Yeah, I kind of gathered that from your I-just-crapped-myself expression.
Well, it was awkward, but at least now it's out of the way.
Oh.
No.
Actually, now it's very much in the way.
What do you mean? Look, Jason, it was one thing when Trish didn't know that I knew.
- But you did know.
- Yeah, I know.
But now that it's out in the open, it's gonna be, like, in my face all the time.
You know, this constant reminder of what a terrible thing I'm doing, so Besides, I really don't want to see her slap your ass all day, and I want to see you slap her ass even less.
So are you saying what I think you're saying? Yes.
It's the right thing to do.
I know.
I know it is.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Countdown to in-law arrival -- 16 hours and 42 minutes.
I still can't believe he gave you two days' notice.
And do you want to know what his excuse was? He said he didn't want to make me all crazy, so he would reduce the time to tell me so I wouldn't be crazy.
Oh, good for Bob.
He's finally figured out how to handle you.
I don't need to be handled.
Hey.
Hey.
Rose, do I need to be handled? Okay, who made Ginnie insecure? Sit down, you're late.
Where were you? Were you with your boyfriend? - Which one? - Whoa! Okay, stop the deal.
What? What do you mean? Oh, my god.
Joel finally made a move? A move I totally didn't want him to make.
What'd he do? He kissed me.
That's it? That seems like a lot for Joel.
Good for him.
No, no, not good for him.
You guys, I really like Alex, and now that Joel kissed me, it's just -- I always had him in the "friend" category, and now everything's messed up.
I don't think you should be with Alex.
Go with Joel.
I like Joel.
That's 'cause Danny was a Joel.
So, what's wrong with that? Joels are better.
Yeah, but remember, you were just with Marco.
Marco was an Alex.
Yeah.
Alexes aren't bad.
You know what the best thing is? Is to have an Alex with a little bit of Joel.
Who's that? Bob.
Okay.
What? Which one are you saying he's not -- a Joel or an Alex? I don't know.
He's -- he's a Bob.
He is a Bob.
It's just so hard, you know? Because Joel's my best friend, and he really gets me, and sometimes I'm not so sure Alex does.
You got to stop asking yourself these big questions, Rose.
Be with Alex.
Trust me.
There comes a point in your life where you're gonna have to give up your Alexes.
What happened? I broke it off with Jason.
Wow.
That was a smart thing to do.
Good for you.
Yeah, feels awesome.
Let me ask you guys something.
When you do the right thing, do you like -- do you feel good? 'Cause I don't know.
I'm re-- I'm not feeling it.
Sweetie, it's only because it's your first time.
Yeah, being good's kind of an acquired taste.
Hey.
This came for you.
I think that not tipping the mailman at Christmas is starting to bite us in the ass.
Um, why are your credit-card statements still coming here? Dad still pays it.
Never leave college.
Wasn't planning to.
I thought you weren't coming till tomorrow night.
Yeah, I decided to beat the Christmas rush out of the city.
Oh, my god.
Who got you an Ipod? I don't know.
Well, there's an engraving on the back.
"All the songs that make me think of you.
" Look at this.
All these amazing old songs are on here.
"Love and Happiness," "Rose Parade," "In your Eyes.
" Okay, this is the sweetest thing ever.
"Golden Lady," "Brown-Eyed Girl," "Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone.
" But there's no card.
I mean, I don't know who it's from.
Obviously it's from Alex or Joel, but I don't know which one.
Well, who do you think it's from? I don't know.
But I hope it's Alex.
Why don't you ask him? Yeah, what am I supposed to say? "Hey, Alex or Joel, did you send me a gift or send me nothing? Because if you sent me a gift, thank you.
But if you didn't, that's okay, because I wasn't expecting anything.
" Yeah, just like that.
Ginnie! Hey, hon! Hey! Ah, Millicent, Robert, how was your flight? Lovely, thank you.
I'll put these in the other room, right? How have you been? Hi.
Hi.
Oh, well, come on.
Come on in.
You've never seen the place.
So, how do you like it? Ooh! So much space! This isn't going to be easy to make warm and homey.
Come here.
Let me take a look at my, uh, grandson.
Oh.
Or granddaughter.
I thought you would have carried your baby weight differently.
"Differently" how? Less puffy.
But it's good.
It fills out your face.
Oh, wow.
Huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, merry Christmas! Look.
Who wrapped this? I did! Oh, sweetie! That's adorable.
Oh! It's perfect.
I love it.
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you, Bobby.
You're welcome.
And Ginnie.
I'm sorry? Good enough.
What? You're welcome.
We just really wanted you to like it.
Oh, is this from you, too? How nice.
Why don't you take it out of the box? Go on.
It's got seven megapixels.
That's the most.
Now, remind me again.
When are you due? Oh, in may.
I have no idea what you looked like as a child, but I do hope your baby looks just like my Bobby.
What? I was adorable.
Okay, just do it.
Do it, do it, do it.
Hey.
Alex? Rose.
Hey, I was just thinking about you.
I was thinking about you, too.
What are you doing for Christmas Eve -- anything exciting? We're just taking off to head up to stowe.
Oh, right.
I just wanted to say thank you.
What, did you get my gift? Yes.
Yes, and it's just -- it's so perfect.
- It's just really -- - Listen, Rose.
We got to head out.
I'll just call you when I get back from Vermont.
Okay.
Have fun snowboarding.
Don't break a leg.
I don't get it.
'Cause we're actors.
I think that's just for plays.
Right.
Yeah, uh-huh.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Bye, talk to you later.
You know, Renee, I love the decorating in my room.
Where do you even find sheets with bells on them? - I know.
Isn't it festive? - Yes.
We put red furry pillows with white trim in our bedroom.
You really should see it.
Oh, you really should.
I'm gonna get some more soup.
You want some, Ann? Yeah, I'll have a bowl.
Joe? No, I got to get down to the deli.
Thanks, honey.
So, getting ready for the christmas rush? I don't think she's getting any better.
What? Renee.
She's not sleeping at night.
Well, it's probably just the holidays.
People get really stressed out this time of year.
Yeah, but that's not what it is, is it? Dad, you know I can't talk to you about this.
Yeah, all right.
I got to get downstairs.
I can't wait any longer.
I'm sorry.
It's just that I'm at the bottom of the pot -- No, Renee.
Look I'm staying here for the next four days with you and my dad and this lie.
I know.
Do you have any idea what position you put me in when you confided in me and asked me not to tell my father? When are you gonna tell him? I told you.
I have to talk to Patrick first.
And when's that gonna happen? I can't lie to him anymore.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Do I need to put a deadline on this? No.
I-I'll take care of it.
Okay.
I'll do it tonight.
Thank you.
Marjee.
Marjee! - Guess what Alex sent me.
- No.
- Don't you want to know? - No.
That's not very nice.
- I'm all right with that.
- Okay, but look.
It has all these amazing songs on it and a really sweet engraving on the back.
So it turns out my Alex has a little bit of Joel in him.
Okay, Rose.
Can I give you a little bit of advice? Sure.
Shut up.
I'm so bloody tired.
Do you mind if I turn this light off, darling? Why? Because I'm ugly? What? Your mother thinks I'm ugly.
She didn't say that.
Then what'd she say, then? She said I was an adorable baby, which you must admit is true.
You've seen the pictures.
Bob, it was an insult.
How do you not see that? Ginnie, come on.
She didn't mean anything by it.
She said I was a cute little boy.
She's my mum.
She loves me.
Oh, you know what? I'm well aware that your mummy loves you.
Where -- darling, where are you going? I'm going to take a shower.
I got to calm down.
Do you think you wrap presents well? - What? - You don't.
And she was all ready to just judge me for my wrapping job until she found out that you did it.
And then it was just, "oh, it's just so adorable.
" All right, you listen to me.
Think about me for one second.
I'm in a very difficult position.
I'm stuck between my wife and my mother.
It's the two women I love most in the whole wide world.
Although not in the same way.
Bob, look.
I'm sorry you're in this situation, and I don't mean to put you in the middle, but you're always defending her.
I mean, for a change, maybe instead of defending her, you could try to defend me, your wife.
All right.
I'll go and do it now.
She's probably still up.
No, Bob, don't -- don't do it now! She's gonna know I sent you.
You have to do it in the moment, like, right when it happens.
I didn't know when it happened before.
How am I meant to know when it happens next time? When I dig my nails into your back, you'll know.
Marjee.
Marjee, wake up.
Marjee! Marjee, Marjee! Wake the hell up! I was just having the most amazing dream.
You weren't talking to me for a second.
Someone is trying to break in! Oh, Rose, you're insane! Look! Look! There! They're right there! Oh, my god! Move! Move! Go, go, go! Jason? Are you kidding me? - You know our attacker? - Yes, it's Jason.
- Jason Jason? - Yes.
- Hi, I'm Jason.
- Rose.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Then don't come through the window! Yeah, what are you doing here? Look, I know what you said, I know we're not doing this anymore, but I needed to see you.
Have you ever heard of a phone? I needed to see you.
Rose.
Yeah? Leave.
Oh.
Okay.
You're jumpy.
Oh.
What are you doing out so late? It's almost 2:00 a.
m.
I couldn't sleep.
So I went to church.
It's so quiet and peaceful when no one's there.
It's a good place to think.
So, what are you doing up? Couldn't sleep? Something like that.
You making hot chocolate? Yeah, can I make you one? Sure.
Okay.
So, you want to talk about it? What? Whatever you were thinking about at church.
Oh, it's nothing.
- Do you want to be alone? - Not really.
You want to sit here and not talk and have some hot chocolate? That sounds nice.
I like waking up with you.
I like waking up with you, too.
- I have to go.
- No.
So, you and I, are we cool? 'Cause I know I wasn't supposed to come here last night.
Shut up.
What? I'm glad you didn't listen to me.
Me too.
What was that? That was my I-don't-want-to-leave kiss.
Well, then don't.
Here's the one I took at the Carnegie deli this morning.
Oh, look.
It's you, your dad, and my left elbow.
And here we are at the rockefeller center.
Oh, look.
That's my ear next to your shoulder.
Oh, at Barneys.
You and your father and that very attractive girl at the chanel counter.
She had legs like a gazelle.
There you go.
Um, mummy.
Yes, dear? It occurs to me that Ginnie isn't really included in any of these pictures, and, uh, you know, she was with us all day.
So, I'm not implying anything, but if, you know If what? If you left her out of the pictures by accident? No! No, it wasn't by accident.
These pictures are for our friends to see what we did on holiday.
Our friends don't know Ginnie.
Why would they be interested in seeing pictures of a woman they've never met? Good point.
Good -- no, not good point.
- So, is the table set? - Yeah.
Great.
Did you get the doilies? Dad! Hey, tell me about it.
Renee loves the doilies.
All right.
Where are they? They're in the, uh, top drawer of the side table.
Wow.
Dad? Did you see this? No.
It's Renee's writing.
Open it.
You sure? Hey.
What'd she say? Dad, I'm What does this mean -- "think through some things"? What things does she have to think about? Is she leaving me? No.
Then what the hell's going on? People should be with the people they love for Christmas, right? Dad, I'm so sorry.
I know how hard this must be for you, but that's why I wanted her to tell you.
She promised me she was going to talk to you.
Well, she didn't.
She left.
The only person she talked to was you.
So now, what the hell is going on, Ann? Renee has a son.
What? She was 18.
She gave him up for adoption, and on Thanksgiving he contacted her.
Why didn't she come to me? She was afraid you wouldn't understand.
She was ashamed.
She thought that you were going to hate her.
What does that mean, "hate her"? I love her! Okay, we got to find her.
She's out there, and she is alone with this.
Okay, you try her cell, and I'm gonna try her sister.
Rose, not now.
Staten Island? Yes, the number for Judith, uh, Wharton Myers.
It's -- cellphone's going straight through to voice mail.
Hey, Renee! It's Joe.
Honey, please call me as soon as you get this, okay? What's going on? Renee's missing.
Dad, it's gonna be fine.
We'll find her.
I know, I know.
It's just the idea that she feels that she has to go through this without me.
Um, guys.
You know what? Why don't we try her friend at the wig store? Out of town.
- Guys.
- What, Rose? I think I might know where she is.
What is this -- the New York marathon? Oh, darling.
Can we slow down a little bit? My parents are half a block behind.
I can't understand why.
I mean, it's not like I have long gazelle legs like the very attractive girl at the Chanel counter.
God, are we ever gonna get over this? Oh, by "we," do you mean me? Because, no, I'm not gonna get over this.
Your mother's making out like she's the victim here, but she's not -- I'm the victim.
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way, sweetie, but you would notice that if your head wasn't so far up your mummy's ass.
Oh, darling.
That's not a pleasant visual.
Oh, well, then pull it out, Bob.
Pull it out.
Oh, after you.
You can take these.
You're welcome.
Oh, hmm.
So, seeing how things are going, or not going, actually, why don't we just go back to the city and spend Christmas Eve at home? Are you kidding me? Spending the night with my family is the only thing keeping me from killing yours.
Hello! Dad? Renee? Hello? Where is everybody? Hello! - I'm going to - Yeah.
I want that someday.
Me too.
- Heading back out to Brooklyn? - Yeah.
So, uh any chance you might have some free time later tonight? Yeah, I, um I don't think so.
Now that was a success if I ever saw one, right? Whoa! I have had a lot of champagne.
Somebody should take me home.
Why don't we try and find us a cab? Mmm yeah.
Good idea.
Hi, Marjee.
Hi.
What you doing for Christmas? Um, I am going to spend it with my family.
Ucchh! God, you got to find yourself a man.
Come on.
Yeah.
Hey, sweetie.
It's such a beautiful night.
Let's walk.
Oh, okay.
Sure.
Merry Christmas, Marjee.
Yep.
Merry Christmas.
You too.
Can I get anyone some more eggnog? Oh, yes, please.
Take mine.
I don't care for it.
Okay.
Too much nutmeg.
I make mine without nutmeg -- powerful, overwhelming spice.
Okay, gotcha.
Mum, what are you doing? Taking pictures of Ginnie.
Isn't that what you wanted? Well, I kind of thought it would be in, like, a candid sort of way.
Let's open presents.
That's a great idea.
Here.
Bobby first.
I'm so excited.
Wait, love.
You have to guess.
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe I forgot.
Silly me.
Okay, so in our family, we, uh -- we have to guess what's inside the present before we open it.
Oh, wow.
You Brits know how to have fun.
I'm out of nog.
Quiet, dear.
Yes, love.
Well, what do you think it is? Uh, atrocious plaid knickers.
Well, now you've gone and ruined it.
Oh, really? Silly mummy! You tricked me.
Look at this.
This is beautiful.
Oh, wow.
It's cashmere.
Well, it is gorgeous.
Thank you so much, mummy.
Thank you, dad.
- You're welcome, dear.
- Nog? And Ginnie? This is for you.
Okay.
Oh, should I guess? If you must.
No.
It's a picture frame.
It's -- it's lovely.
I saw it this afternoon, and I thought, "it is so Ginnie.
" How? How is this me? Well, you love New York, and you love pictures of yourself.
All right, that's it, lady.
You and me in the kitchen -- now.
Are you snapping at me? Kitchen! - Bob, out! - Why? What's going on? Out! Yes, mummy.
What is your deal, lady? I'm sorry? You obviously have a problem with me, and I want to know what it is.
What makes you think I have a problem with you? Did you happen to see the stockings above the fireplace? Did you notice that there's one for Bob? - Do you even have a point? - Yes, I have a point.
My point is that when your child decides that he wants to spend the rest of his life with someone, there is a certain kind of, you know, welcome to the family that's expected.
Now, I know you may be a really truly cold woman, and you are british, but I know you know at least that much.
So what is it? Why don't you like me, Millie? I prefer Millicent.
I know.
It's, uh -- it's brandy they put in the eggnog, isn't it? It is.
And brandy's in the kitchen.
It is.
That's a shame.
It is.
Father, um you know what do I -- what do I do? Well, you just sit here and pretend that nothing's happening.
Oh, no doubt, yeah.
But I'm talking about in the long run.
You know, these are gonna be tough waters to navigate.
I'm gonna be a father, and my wife thinks my mother hates her.
Well, she's right.
What? Your mother can't stand Ginnie.
Never could.
Oh.
Why? I never asked.
Haven't got the energy.
Okay.
Why don't you like me? Does it matter why? Yes, it matters because I need to know so I Did you just admit that you don't like me? Yes.
Never have.
Oh, my god! See? This is fantastic, Millie! - It is? - Yes! Yes! All this time I just thought I was crazy! Well I'm glad I could put your mind at ease.
Where are you going? I'm going into the kitchen to give mother a piece of my mind.
That would be a big mistake.
But while you're there, would you top up this eggnog for me? Yes, of course.
So, you -- you hate my wife, do you? Bob.
No, no.
My dad just told me.
I-I don't get it.
Is this true? Bobby, watch your tone.
This is between me and Jenny.
No, it's not between you and Ginnie.
I demand an explanation, mum.
I don't get it.
She's my wife, and, moreover, it's impossible not to like her.
Bob, it's okay.
No.
Ginnie, I'm talking.
All Ginnie has ever wanted was to have a close relationship with you.
Do you even realize how hard she's tried? Yes, her desperation has not gone unnoticed.
Desperation.
Have you ever considered why she's desperate? Why she wants a relationship with you? Ginnie lost her mum, and in six months' time, she's gonna have a baby.
And who does she go to for advice and support on things like how to care for a colicky baby, you know, or how to deal with teething pain? There are books that answer all those -- She doesn't want a bloody book! She wants a person.
You're right.
Never take this tone with me again.
You all right? There, there, dear.
Is that better? Yeah.
Uh, why don't you, uh, go and take this into dad? I think he needs it.
Well thank you, dear.
I'm sorry, darling.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I just -- how do you know me so well? I don't know.
I just do.
You know what? I may not have a mom to take care of me, but I I'm just so grateful that I have you.
Are you calling me a woman? Shut up and give me a hug.
- Hey, Marjee.
- Hey, sweetie.
Hey.
What's up? You okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where are you guys coming from? Oh, church.
Come on.
We have to hurry up.
Patrick's on his way over.
Patrick? Who's that? My son.
How long was I gone? He needed this -- a noseclipper.
Bob -- from me to you.
Thanks, Joe.
That's lovely of you.
Oh, my god -- headphones.
Fantastic.
Are they noise-canceling? For when t baby comes.
Oh, thanks for the help, dad.
You're welcome.
Hey, Renee! Come on! You're missing presents.
I'll be there in a minute.
Is he okay? He'll sleep it off.
Oh.
All right, then.
Hey, Rose.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Where'd it come from? Uh, it came in the mail.
Renee put it under the tree.
Oh, who's that from? Well, let's see.
"Dear Rose, wish you were with me on the slopes.
Here's a snow ball.
Merry Christmas.
Alex.
" Ooh, what is it? It's a snow ball.
I thought Alex sent you the Ipod.
So did I, but apparently he sent me a pun instead.
Well, then, who is the music and the engraving from? Joel, I guess.
I don't get it.
The guy I thought was just my friend sends me this amazingly thoughtful gift, and the guy I like sends me a puffy pink pastry.
What am I going to do? Oh, boo-hoo.
"I'm Rose.
I don't have any real problems, so I guess I'm just gonna bitch about nothing.
" Do you have any idea how self-involved you are? "Oh, Marjee! Look at this great gift that I got from Alex! Oh, my god! No, the great gift, it's not from Alex.
" Rose, who cares if the guy that you like sent you a snow ball? That is a hell of a lot more than what a lot of people are getting this Christmas.
Is that one of those little music players? Everything's so clever nowadays.
How do you like it? Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Who is it? Oh, it's -- it's my dad.
Tell him you'll call him back tomorrow.
Um, can I call you back in the morning? Sure.
All right, um merry Christmas, dad.
Listen, Renee.
I am so sorry I had to tell him.
It's just you were -- No, no.
You don't have to say anything.
You were right.
Your father I never should have doubted him.
My god, it's him.
It'll be okay.
Come here.
Hi.
Come in.
Please.
Excuse me.
I-it's italian.
I had to go downstairs to get it.
It was dusty when it came up, so it's either really good or total swill.
I don't really know what.
No, this is, uh, great.
Thank you, thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
I, um I'm -- I'm Patrick.
Treasure these moments.
Amen.
He kissed you in front of a sister? This guy's got a pair.
- We slept together.
- Yeah.
And stupid, reckless, and fun.
It was fun.
Your mom is really excited about meeting you.
Tonight on "Related" I have an announcement to make.
Jason and I are seeing each other.
Awesome! Office relationships are awesome.
Countdown to in-law arrival -- 16 hours and 42 minutes.
I thought you would have carried your baby weight differently.
"Differently" how? Less puffy.
Patrick's on his way over.
Patrick? Who's that? My son.
How long was I gone? This one is Ann's.
All right, we have to talk about this.
Every single present I wrap, you put in that pile, and every single present you wrap, you put in that pile.
Why? Not all of them.
Well, all of them except for the one that came wrapped.
Are you gonna re-wrap the presents? No.
I'm just gonna make them look a little prettier.
Why do I even bother? Because we're wrapping presents together.
It's fun! Do I bother wrapping this one? Who's it for? My parents.
Oh, you may continue.
Wait a minute.
That was supposed to go out like two weeks ago, Bob.
Yeah.
It's gonna cost us a fortune now to guarantee it's gonna get to England in time.
Uh, the thing is, love, um, it's all right because my parents may come here to get the present, so they'll have the present on time.
Your parents are coming? When? Two or three days -- two days.
Is there anything else that you'd like to spring on me? You have a mistress? You're gay? I was gonna tell you, darling.
When?! Well, before they got here, for sure.
How long have you known about this? They mentioned it last Christmas.
Oh, a year? It wasn't official then.
It's been official for three months.
Darling, you had morning sickness then.
You know, I didn't want to give you anything else to throw up about.
I can't believe you are springing this on me now.
I didn't want to upset you.
That's why I didn't tell you.
You know, so the longer I left it, the less time you'd have to be upset.
Of course it's upsetting me, Bob.
Your mother hates me.
She doesn't hate you, darling.
We've been over this.
She's british.
On the outside, she appears to be unpleasant, and on the inside she's just cold.
I knew you'd come around.
You know what I'm gonna do? I am gonna go out and get you an extra present.
Where are they staying? I'm gonna go out and get you two extra presents.
Nice shirt.
Says the girl who picked it out this morning.
What can I say? I have good taste.
When did you get here? 10 minutes ago.
I told you subway beats a cab.
So, think we spaced it out enough? I don't know, but I'm thinking maybe it defeats the point of arriving separately if we have a loud conversation about it.
Uh-oh.
Little Sherman heard! Uh-oh, Sherman.
Don't pet her.
She has an ear infection.
Sorry.
Okay, I'm -- I'm gonna go get some work done.
No, you're not.
How did you know? I have an announcement to make.
Oh.
Okay, you want me to get Kathy? Dear god, no.
I want to talk to you about Jason.
What about Jason? Well, things are going to get a little crazy holiday-'tis-the-season-busy, right? And I just, you know, cannot bear all this sneaking around.
I think it's time for all of us to put our cards on the table.
- Okay.
- Trish, what are you doing? I want you to know that Jason and I are seeing each other.
Awesome! Office relationships are awesome.
Jason, you got anything to add? Uh, uh, they are awesome.
Mmm.
Well said.
So, you know, we're gonna be kissing in front of you and cuddling and, you know, because for me, that's fun, and I'm feeling festive.
And you, my underling, you are going to make sure that this is kept between the three of us and away from the clients, yes? I'm excellent at keeping office things quite.
Good.
It means a lot to me that I can trust you with this.
Actually, I trust that you're too scared of me to tell anyone, but, you know, that's potato, "potahto.
" Okay.
Wow.
I, for one, feel very good about this! Yes.
Me too.
Love this job.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
I tried calling you after the restaurant thing.
Yeah, I tried to get in touch with you, too.
So what happened? I saw you out there, and then you just disappeared.
I don't know.
I-I wanted to come in.
I just couldn't do it.
I tried to, I started to, and then the next thing I knew, I was on the "R" train.
Is Patrick mad? Well, he wasn't happy.
He's starting to think that you don't want to meet him.
No, I do.
I got scared.
I know.
What's he like? Well he's really sweet.
Does he have brown eyes? His father had brown eyes.
No, he has blue eyes.
- Like me.
- Yeah.
Well, did he say anything about his adoptive parents? Were they good to him? You know, he didn't really talk about that much.
Does he have long fingers? His father played the piano.
Renee, you're trying to meet him without actually meeting him.
Oh, god.
Okay, all right.
I'll call him again.
What's your schedule like? I think this is something you need to do without me.
The other day if Patrick was in there all by himself, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have left him alone.
Okay.
I'm on my own.
Ah, there's the Renee touch.
Hey, look about this morning.
I had no idea Trish was gonna do that.
Yeah, I kind of gathered that from your I-just-crapped-myself expression.
Well, it was awkward, but at least now it's out of the way.
Oh.
No.
Actually, now it's very much in the way.
What do you mean? Look, Jason, it was one thing when Trish didn't know that I knew.
- But you did know.
- Yeah, I know.
But now that it's out in the open, it's gonna be, like, in my face all the time.
You know, this constant reminder of what a terrible thing I'm doing, so Besides, I really don't want to see her slap your ass all day, and I want to see you slap her ass even less.
So are you saying what I think you're saying? Yes.
It's the right thing to do.
I know.
I know it is.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Countdown to in-law arrival -- 16 hours and 42 minutes.
I still can't believe he gave you two days' notice.
And do you want to know what his excuse was? He said he didn't want to make me all crazy, so he would reduce the time to tell me so I wouldn't be crazy.
Oh, good for Bob.
He's finally figured out how to handle you.
I don't need to be handled.
Hey.
Hey.
Rose, do I need to be handled? Okay, who made Ginnie insecure? Sit down, you're late.
Where were you? Were you with your boyfriend? - Which one? - Whoa! Okay, stop the deal.
What? What do you mean? Oh, my god.
Joel finally made a move? A move I totally didn't want him to make.
What'd he do? He kissed me.
That's it? That seems like a lot for Joel.
Good for him.
No, no, not good for him.
You guys, I really like Alex, and now that Joel kissed me, it's just -- I always had him in the "friend" category, and now everything's messed up.
I don't think you should be with Alex.
Go with Joel.
I like Joel.
That's 'cause Danny was a Joel.
So, what's wrong with that? Joels are better.
Yeah, but remember, you were just with Marco.
Marco was an Alex.
Yeah.
Alexes aren't bad.
You know what the best thing is? Is to have an Alex with a little bit of Joel.
Who's that? Bob.
Okay.
What? Which one are you saying he's not -- a Joel or an Alex? I don't know.
He's -- he's a Bob.
He is a Bob.
It's just so hard, you know? Because Joel's my best friend, and he really gets me, and sometimes I'm not so sure Alex does.
You got to stop asking yourself these big questions, Rose.
Be with Alex.
Trust me.
There comes a point in your life where you're gonna have to give up your Alexes.
What happened? I broke it off with Jason.
Wow.
That was a smart thing to do.
Good for you.
Yeah, feels awesome.
Let me ask you guys something.
When you do the right thing, do you like -- do you feel good? 'Cause I don't know.
I'm re-- I'm not feeling it.
Sweetie, it's only because it's your first time.
Yeah, being good's kind of an acquired taste.
Hey.
This came for you.
I think that not tipping the mailman at Christmas is starting to bite us in the ass.
Um, why are your credit-card statements still coming here? Dad still pays it.
Never leave college.
Wasn't planning to.
I thought you weren't coming till tomorrow night.
Yeah, I decided to beat the Christmas rush out of the city.
Oh, my god.
Who got you an Ipod? I don't know.
Well, there's an engraving on the back.
"All the songs that make me think of you.
" Look at this.
All these amazing old songs are on here.
"Love and Happiness," "Rose Parade," "In your Eyes.
" Okay, this is the sweetest thing ever.
"Golden Lady," "Brown-Eyed Girl," "Ain't no Sunshine when she's gone.
" But there's no card.
I mean, I don't know who it's from.
Obviously it's from Alex or Joel, but I don't know which one.
Well, who do you think it's from? I don't know.
But I hope it's Alex.
Why don't you ask him? Yeah, what am I supposed to say? "Hey, Alex or Joel, did you send me a gift or send me nothing? Because if you sent me a gift, thank you.
But if you didn't, that's okay, because I wasn't expecting anything.
" Yeah, just like that.
Ginnie! Hey, hon! Hey! Ah, Millicent, Robert, how was your flight? Lovely, thank you.
I'll put these in the other room, right? How have you been? Hi.
Hi.
Oh, well, come on.
Come on in.
You've never seen the place.
So, how do you like it? Ooh! So much space! This isn't going to be easy to make warm and homey.
Come here.
Let me take a look at my, uh, grandson.
Oh.
Or granddaughter.
I thought you would have carried your baby weight differently.
"Differently" how? Less puffy.
But it's good.
It fills out your face.
Oh, wow.
Huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, merry Christmas! Look.
Who wrapped this? I did! Oh, sweetie! That's adorable.
Oh! It's perfect.
I love it.
Thank you very much.
Yes, thank you, Bobby.
You're welcome.
And Ginnie.
I'm sorry? Good enough.
What? You're welcome.
We just really wanted you to like it.
Oh, is this from you, too? How nice.
Why don't you take it out of the box? Go on.
It's got seven megapixels.
That's the most.
Now, remind me again.
When are you due? Oh, in may.
I have no idea what you looked like as a child, but I do hope your baby looks just like my Bobby.
What? I was adorable.
Okay, just do it.
Do it, do it, do it.
Hey.
Alex? Rose.
Hey, I was just thinking about you.
I was thinking about you, too.
What are you doing for Christmas Eve -- anything exciting? We're just taking off to head up to stowe.
Oh, right.
I just wanted to say thank you.
What, did you get my gift? Yes.
Yes, and it's just -- it's so perfect.
- It's just really -- - Listen, Rose.
We got to head out.
I'll just call you when I get back from Vermont.
Okay.
Have fun snowboarding.
Don't break a leg.
I don't get it.
'Cause we're actors.
I think that's just for plays.
Right.
Yeah, uh-huh.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Bye, talk to you later.
You know, Renee, I love the decorating in my room.
Where do you even find sheets with bells on them? - I know.
Isn't it festive? - Yes.
We put red furry pillows with white trim in our bedroom.
You really should see it.
Oh, you really should.
I'm gonna get some more soup.
You want some, Ann? Yeah, I'll have a bowl.
Joe? No, I got to get down to the deli.
Thanks, honey.
So, getting ready for the christmas rush? I don't think she's getting any better.
What? Renee.
She's not sleeping at night.
Well, it's probably just the holidays.
People get really stressed out this time of year.
Yeah, but that's not what it is, is it? Dad, you know I can't talk to you about this.
Yeah, all right.
I got to get downstairs.
I can't wait any longer.
I'm sorry.
It's just that I'm at the bottom of the pot -- No, Renee.
Look I'm staying here for the next four days with you and my dad and this lie.
I know.
Do you have any idea what position you put me in when you confided in me and asked me not to tell my father? When are you gonna tell him? I told you.
I have to talk to Patrick first.
And when's that gonna happen? I can't lie to him anymore.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Do I need to put a deadline on this? No.
I-I'll take care of it.
Okay.
I'll do it tonight.
Thank you.
Marjee.
Marjee! - Guess what Alex sent me.
- No.
- Don't you want to know? - No.
That's not very nice.
- I'm all right with that.
- Okay, but look.
It has all these amazing songs on it and a really sweet engraving on the back.
So it turns out my Alex has a little bit of Joel in him.
Okay, Rose.
Can I give you a little bit of advice? Sure.
Shut up.
I'm so bloody tired.
Do you mind if I turn this light off, darling? Why? Because I'm ugly? What? Your mother thinks I'm ugly.
She didn't say that.
Then what'd she say, then? She said I was an adorable baby, which you must admit is true.
You've seen the pictures.
Bob, it was an insult.
How do you not see that? Ginnie, come on.
She didn't mean anything by it.
She said I was a cute little boy.
She's my mum.
She loves me.
Oh, you know what? I'm well aware that your mummy loves you.
Where -- darling, where are you going? I'm going to take a shower.
I got to calm down.
Do you think you wrap presents well? - What? - You don't.
And she was all ready to just judge me for my wrapping job until she found out that you did it.
And then it was just, "oh, it's just so adorable.
" All right, you listen to me.
Think about me for one second.
I'm in a very difficult position.
I'm stuck between my wife and my mother.
It's the two women I love most in the whole wide world.
Although not in the same way.
Bob, look.
I'm sorry you're in this situation, and I don't mean to put you in the middle, but you're always defending her.
I mean, for a change, maybe instead of defending her, you could try to defend me, your wife.
All right.
I'll go and do it now.
She's probably still up.
No, Bob, don't -- don't do it now! She's gonna know I sent you.
You have to do it in the moment, like, right when it happens.
I didn't know when it happened before.
How am I meant to know when it happens next time? When I dig my nails into your back, you'll know.
Marjee.
Marjee, wake up.
Marjee! Marjee, Marjee! Wake the hell up! I was just having the most amazing dream.
You weren't talking to me for a second.
Someone is trying to break in! Oh, Rose, you're insane! Look! Look! There! They're right there! Oh, my god! Move! Move! Go, go, go! Jason? Are you kidding me? - You know our attacker? - Yes, it's Jason.
- Jason Jason? - Yes.
- Hi, I'm Jason.
- Rose.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Then don't come through the window! Yeah, what are you doing here? Look, I know what you said, I know we're not doing this anymore, but I needed to see you.
Have you ever heard of a phone? I needed to see you.
Rose.
Yeah? Leave.
Oh.
Okay.
You're jumpy.
Oh.
What are you doing out so late? It's almost 2:00 a.
m.
I couldn't sleep.
So I went to church.
It's so quiet and peaceful when no one's there.
It's a good place to think.
So, what are you doing up? Couldn't sleep? Something like that.
You making hot chocolate? Yeah, can I make you one? Sure.
Okay.
So, you want to talk about it? What? Whatever you were thinking about at church.
Oh, it's nothing.
- Do you want to be alone? - Not really.
You want to sit here and not talk and have some hot chocolate? That sounds nice.
I like waking up with you.
I like waking up with you, too.
- I have to go.
- No.
So, you and I, are we cool? 'Cause I know I wasn't supposed to come here last night.
Shut up.
What? I'm glad you didn't listen to me.
Me too.
What was that? That was my I-don't-want-to-leave kiss.
Well, then don't.
Here's the one I took at the Carnegie deli this morning.
Oh, look.
It's you, your dad, and my left elbow.
And here we are at the rockefeller center.
Oh, look.
That's my ear next to your shoulder.
Oh, at Barneys.
You and your father and that very attractive girl at the chanel counter.
She had legs like a gazelle.
There you go.
Um, mummy.
Yes, dear? It occurs to me that Ginnie isn't really included in any of these pictures, and, uh, you know, she was with us all day.
So, I'm not implying anything, but if, you know If what? If you left her out of the pictures by accident? No! No, it wasn't by accident.
These pictures are for our friends to see what we did on holiday.
Our friends don't know Ginnie.
Why would they be interested in seeing pictures of a woman they've never met? Good point.
Good -- no, not good point.
- So, is the table set? - Yeah.
Great.
Did you get the doilies? Dad! Hey, tell me about it.
Renee loves the doilies.
All right.
Where are they? They're in the, uh, top drawer of the side table.
Wow.
Dad? Did you see this? No.
It's Renee's writing.
Open it.
You sure? Hey.
What'd she say? Dad, I'm What does this mean -- "think through some things"? What things does she have to think about? Is she leaving me? No.
Then what the hell's going on? People should be with the people they love for Christmas, right? Dad, I'm so sorry.
I know how hard this must be for you, but that's why I wanted her to tell you.
She promised me she was going to talk to you.
Well, she didn't.
She left.
The only person she talked to was you.
So now, what the hell is going on, Ann? Renee has a son.
What? She was 18.
She gave him up for adoption, and on Thanksgiving he contacted her.
Why didn't she come to me? She was afraid you wouldn't understand.
She was ashamed.
She thought that you were going to hate her.
What does that mean, "hate her"? I love her! Okay, we got to find her.
She's out there, and she is alone with this.
Okay, you try her cell, and I'm gonna try her sister.
Rose, not now.
Staten Island? Yes, the number for Judith, uh, Wharton Myers.
It's -- cellphone's going straight through to voice mail.
Hey, Renee! It's Joe.
Honey, please call me as soon as you get this, okay? What's going on? Renee's missing.
Dad, it's gonna be fine.
We'll find her.
I know, I know.
It's just the idea that she feels that she has to go through this without me.
Um, guys.
You know what? Why don't we try her friend at the wig store? Out of town.
- Guys.
- What, Rose? I think I might know where she is.
What is this -- the New York marathon? Oh, darling.
Can we slow down a little bit? My parents are half a block behind.
I can't understand why.
I mean, it's not like I have long gazelle legs like the very attractive girl at the Chanel counter.
God, are we ever gonna get over this? Oh, by "we," do you mean me? Because, no, I'm not gonna get over this.
Your mother's making out like she's the victim here, but she's not -- I'm the victim.
And I don't want you to take this the wrong way, sweetie, but you would notice that if your head wasn't so far up your mummy's ass.
Oh, darling.
That's not a pleasant visual.
Oh, well, then pull it out, Bob.
Pull it out.
Oh, after you.
You can take these.
You're welcome.
Oh, hmm.
So, seeing how things are going, or not going, actually, why don't we just go back to the city and spend Christmas Eve at home? Are you kidding me? Spending the night with my family is the only thing keeping me from killing yours.
Hello! Dad? Renee? Hello? Where is everybody? Hello! - I'm going to - Yeah.
I want that someday.
Me too.
- Heading back out to Brooklyn? - Yeah.
So, uh any chance you might have some free time later tonight? Yeah, I, um I don't think so.
Now that was a success if I ever saw one, right? Whoa! I have had a lot of champagne.
Somebody should take me home.
Why don't we try and find us a cab? Mmm yeah.
Good idea.
Hi, Marjee.
Hi.
What you doing for Christmas? Um, I am going to spend it with my family.
Ucchh! God, you got to find yourself a man.
Come on.
Yeah.
Hey, sweetie.
It's such a beautiful night.
Let's walk.
Oh, okay.
Sure.
Merry Christmas, Marjee.
Yep.
Merry Christmas.
You too.
Can I get anyone some more eggnog? Oh, yes, please.
Take mine.
I don't care for it.
Okay.
Too much nutmeg.
I make mine without nutmeg -- powerful, overwhelming spice.
Okay, gotcha.
Mum, what are you doing? Taking pictures of Ginnie.
Isn't that what you wanted? Well, I kind of thought it would be in, like, a candid sort of way.
Let's open presents.
That's a great idea.
Here.
Bobby first.
I'm so excited.
Wait, love.
You have to guess.
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe I forgot.
Silly me.
Okay, so in our family, we, uh -- we have to guess what's inside the present before we open it.
Oh, wow.
You Brits know how to have fun.
I'm out of nog.
Quiet, dear.
Yes, love.
Well, what do you think it is? Uh, atrocious plaid knickers.
Well, now you've gone and ruined it.
Oh, really? Silly mummy! You tricked me.
Look at this.
This is beautiful.
Oh, wow.
It's cashmere.
Well, it is gorgeous.
Thank you so much, mummy.
Thank you, dad.
- You're welcome, dear.
- Nog? And Ginnie? This is for you.
Okay.
Oh, should I guess? If you must.
No.
It's a picture frame.
It's -- it's lovely.
I saw it this afternoon, and I thought, "it is so Ginnie.
" How? How is this me? Well, you love New York, and you love pictures of yourself.
All right, that's it, lady.
You and me in the kitchen -- now.
Are you snapping at me? Kitchen! - Bob, out! - Why? What's going on? Out! Yes, mummy.
What is your deal, lady? I'm sorry? You obviously have a problem with me, and I want to know what it is.
What makes you think I have a problem with you? Did you happen to see the stockings above the fireplace? Did you notice that there's one for Bob? - Do you even have a point? - Yes, I have a point.
My point is that when your child decides that he wants to spend the rest of his life with someone, there is a certain kind of, you know, welcome to the family that's expected.
Now, I know you may be a really truly cold woman, and you are british, but I know you know at least that much.
So what is it? Why don't you like me, Millie? I prefer Millicent.
I know.
It's, uh -- it's brandy they put in the eggnog, isn't it? It is.
And brandy's in the kitchen.
It is.
That's a shame.
It is.
Father, um you know what do I -- what do I do? Well, you just sit here and pretend that nothing's happening.
Oh, no doubt, yeah.
But I'm talking about in the long run.
You know, these are gonna be tough waters to navigate.
I'm gonna be a father, and my wife thinks my mother hates her.
Well, she's right.
What? Your mother can't stand Ginnie.
Never could.
Oh.
Why? I never asked.
Haven't got the energy.
Okay.
Why don't you like me? Does it matter why? Yes, it matters because I need to know so I Did you just admit that you don't like me? Yes.
Never have.
Oh, my god! See? This is fantastic, Millie! - It is? - Yes! Yes! All this time I just thought I was crazy! Well I'm glad I could put your mind at ease.
Where are you going? I'm going into the kitchen to give mother a piece of my mind.
That would be a big mistake.
But while you're there, would you top up this eggnog for me? Yes, of course.
So, you -- you hate my wife, do you? Bob.
No, no.
My dad just told me.
I-I don't get it.
Is this true? Bobby, watch your tone.
This is between me and Jenny.
No, it's not between you and Ginnie.
I demand an explanation, mum.
I don't get it.
She's my wife, and, moreover, it's impossible not to like her.
Bob, it's okay.
No.
Ginnie, I'm talking.
All Ginnie has ever wanted was to have a close relationship with you.
Do you even realize how hard she's tried? Yes, her desperation has not gone unnoticed.
Desperation.
Have you ever considered why she's desperate? Why she wants a relationship with you? Ginnie lost her mum, and in six months' time, she's gonna have a baby.
And who does she go to for advice and support on things like how to care for a colicky baby, you know, or how to deal with teething pain? There are books that answer all those -- She doesn't want a bloody book! She wants a person.
You're right.
Never take this tone with me again.
You all right? There, there, dear.
Is that better? Yeah.
Uh, why don't you, uh, go and take this into dad? I think he needs it.
Well thank you, dear.
I'm sorry, darling.
I didn't mean to upset you.
I just -- how do you know me so well? I don't know.
I just do.
You know what? I may not have a mom to take care of me, but I I'm just so grateful that I have you.
Are you calling me a woman? Shut up and give me a hug.
- Hey, Marjee.
- Hey, sweetie.
Hey.
What's up? You okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where are you guys coming from? Oh, church.
Come on.
We have to hurry up.
Patrick's on his way over.
Patrick? Who's that? My son.
How long was I gone? He needed this -- a noseclipper.
Bob -- from me to you.
Thanks, Joe.
That's lovely of you.
Oh, my god -- headphones.
Fantastic.
Are they noise-canceling? For when t baby comes.
Oh, thanks for the help, dad.
You're welcome.
Hey, Renee! Come on! You're missing presents.
I'll be there in a minute.
Is he okay? He'll sleep it off.
Oh.
All right, then.
Hey, Rose.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Where'd it come from? Uh, it came in the mail.
Renee put it under the tree.
Oh, who's that from? Well, let's see.
"Dear Rose, wish you were with me on the slopes.
Here's a snow ball.
Merry Christmas.
Alex.
" Ooh, what is it? It's a snow ball.
I thought Alex sent you the Ipod.
So did I, but apparently he sent me a pun instead.
Well, then, who is the music and the engraving from? Joel, I guess.
I don't get it.
The guy I thought was just my friend sends me this amazingly thoughtful gift, and the guy I like sends me a puffy pink pastry.
What am I going to do? Oh, boo-hoo.
"I'm Rose.
I don't have any real problems, so I guess I'm just gonna bitch about nothing.
" Do you have any idea how self-involved you are? "Oh, Marjee! Look at this great gift that I got from Alex! Oh, my god! No, the great gift, it's not from Alex.
" Rose, who cares if the guy that you like sent you a snow ball? That is a hell of a lot more than what a lot of people are getting this Christmas.
Is that one of those little music players? Everything's so clever nowadays.
How do you like it? Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Who is it? Oh, it's -- it's my dad.
Tell him you'll call him back tomorrow.
Um, can I call you back in the morning? Sure.
All right, um merry Christmas, dad.
Listen, Renee.
I am so sorry I had to tell him.
It's just you were -- No, no.
You don't have to say anything.
You were right.
Your father I never should have doubted him.
My god, it's him.
It'll be okay.
Come here.
Hi.
Come in.
Please.
Excuse me.
I-it's italian.
I had to go downstairs to get it.
It was dusty when it came up, so it's either really good or total swill.
I don't really know what.
No, this is, uh, great.
Thank you, thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
I, um I'm -- I'm Patrick.
Treasure these moments.
Amen.
