Happy New Year, everyone!
Oh, dang,
Times Circle's goin' nuts
waiting for the cube to drop!
We better hurry up
and finish writing down
our resolutions for next year!
I'm so excited,
I've already started
counting down
the seconds till midnight.
Seven thousand three hundred
fifty four,
seven thousand three hundred
fifty--
Y'all should keep talkin'.
Ha! Finished.
Might be a tad ambitious
but I think
I can make it happen.
[Nancy]
"Stay the course"?
Boo!
Bill, that ain't
a real resolution.
Listen, I know you're
a man of comfort--
Hm? Pssh.
But New Year's Eve is
a time to challenge yourself.
To step out of your comfort
zone and try somethin' new.
You know the phrase,
"New Year, new you."
-Right, Gloria?
-Ehh.
-Atta girl!
-Yeah, Bill!
Be more extreme, like me!
Ha! That was a kickflip!
My resolution this year
is to help Gloria
with her resolutions!
After all, I owe ya one.
What with me
causing you to lose your job,
get evicted
from your apartment,
and turning your life into
-the big dumpster fire that--
-Yep!
-We get it!
-So, whaddya got here?
Whoa! Your New Year's
resolution is to ask out Kevin?
But you've been talkin' about
that guy forever!
You haven't done it yet? Why?
What's the worst
that could happen?
There's literally so many
terrible things,
that it's hard
to narrow it down.
Kevin? [clears throat]
I just wanted to say
that I like you
and would you wanna
go out with me sometime?
Go out with you?
No, you fool.
[Gloria]
Ugh.
[laughs] You fool!
No. No!
Noo!
So, yeah,
that's one possibility.
Oh, I used to be like you.
Scared, sweating
in an almost cartoonish way.
That is, of course,
until I got a girlfriend!
What?!
You do not have a girlfriend.
It's true.
Her name is Gabriella.
And I got this photo as proof
because no one
ever believes me.
And since I am now
a relationship expert,
I'm gonna help you finally,
ask out Kevin.
We can go find him tonight!
-No-no-no-no-no-no--
-Ssh!
You're now in the capable hands
of Dr. Cricket G. Love.
No thanks. Tonight I'll be
locking myself in my room.
Gloria! It's time to
ask out Kevin and--
-Oh, no.
-She cocooned herself.
Ugh. Look, Gloria,
I know you're scared.
I'm not scared.
It's just logistics.
[spits]
Kevin's already at Times Circle
and it'll be impossible
to get down there.
Are you kidding, that's
perfect! What's more romantic
than declaring your feelings
at the stroke of midnight?
I don't know what I'd say.
Ooh, I know! Let's role play!
-[gasps] R.P.!
-What?
Role play!
Just pretend Saxon is Kevin.
[Tilly as Saxon]
'Sup?
Practice
what you'll say to him.
Then we'll judge you!
And action.
[big exhale]
Kevin!
Nice, uh, weather
we're having.
Do you wanna make out?!
-Ew! No! Gloria! Ugh! Bad!
-Ah!
Control yourself!
Let's try, "Hi."
Ugh. Hi, Kevin.
Would you like some bread?
[Tilly as Saxon]
Don't fill up on bread,
-it's a scam!
-Tilly, you're not helping!
Sorry, got lost in the game.
No, no, this is good.
Just a few more hours of
practice and I'll be ready.
We'll take as much time
as you need.
Actually,
there's only two thousand
nine hundred forty one seconds
until midnight.
Wait, that's short! I think.
Simulation's over, Gloria!
Time to stand up, go to
Times Circle, and get yo man!
-I'm gonna stand up!
-[both] Yeah!
-I'm gonna get my man!
-[both] Yeah!
Oh, that's how we're walkin',
okay.
[Bill humming
"Old McDonald Had a Farm"]
-Oh, Nancy!
-[Nancy] Yeah?
Ah, makin' the ol' turkey and
white bread sandwich, again?
Well, if you take a look
under the hood,
you'll notice
a radical new change for me--
Mayo!
I wouldn't exactly
call a little mayo
going outta your comfort zone.
Hmm. Different strokes.
Let's do something big!
Something exciting!
[snaps]
Oh! I got it!
When I was younger,
we used to go to
the Big City River
for the Penguin Plunge!
Only the bravest souls
were daring enough
to jump into
the freezing cold river
at the stroke of midnight.
That's what we're gonna do!
What if I put my
turkey sandwich in the fridge
and then I eat a cold sandwich?
I'm more comfortable with that.
New Year's is about breaking
out of your comfort zone.
Nancy's right, Bill. Hah!
Time to get off your back side
and take a bite outta life.
Take a bite outta life!
Okay, okay,
let's all be irrational
and jump into a cold river!
-Woo!
-Atta boy!
-[indistinct chatter]
-We made it.
This is Maria Media,
reporting from Times Circle
on the final hour of the year!
A crowd of thousands
is now gathered around
the famous Times Circle Cube
as we wait
for it to drop at midnight.
You can practically feel
the crowd's excitement.
I've been waiting all year
for this!
And you, sir,
how are you feeling?
Ooh, I wanna
see that cube drop.
Powerful stuff.
Kevin! Hey, Kevin!
Ugh, it's no use.
The crowd is way too big,
there's no way we'll spot him
from here.
Dang, you're right. Hmm
[gasps]
There might be one way
we can find him.
By climbing to the top
of the Times Circle Cube
to get a bird's-eye view
of the crowd!
-Yeah, that's it.
-Yeah!
Oh, boy.
Woo-hoo! Gonna do the thing!
So, we're actually gonna
jump in
the freezing cold river, huh?
Yeah! My body is ready!
Ready to get out of
your comfort zone, Bill?
[teeth chattering] Yep.
New experiences sure are f-fun.
You sure you're up for this?
You're sweatin' so bad
you're startin' to steam up.
Sweating's my body's way
of crying.
[sighs] Okay, big guy,
I'm lettin' you off the hook.
I think I pushed you too far.
You are who you are
and that's okay.
Yeah, you're boring! It's fine.
Why don't you just
wait in the warm truck
and Alice and I
will meet up with you
when we're done livin' life.
-Whoo! Ooh!
-Yeah! I'm fired up!
Okay. [chuckles]
Coward. [sighs]
[sing-song]
Gonna ask out Kevin!
[Tilly sing-song] One thousand
one hundred twelve!
One thousand
one hundred eleven!
I can't do this, Cricket!
Come on, Gloria,
have some dignity!
No! If I don't ask Kevin out,
he'll never get the chance
to reject me.
You can't lose
if you don't try, right?
Yeah, I'm just gonna stay here
and cling to this ladder.
[grunts] Hey!
I can't get you a new job
or a new apartment,
or a better haircut
-What?!
-But I can be a good friend.
And sometimes,
friends need to tell you
when you're being
a total chicken!
[sighs] You're right.
I came this far
and it's too scary
to climb down!
That's the spirit!
[sing-song]
Gonna ask out Kevin!
Gonna ask out Kevin!
-[jolts]
-Eh, what was that?
Let's just spot Kevin
and get down from here.
There he is!
Perfect! Now it's time to
proclaim your love
-And we're sinking.
-[gears rattle]
What?! Oh, no-no-no-no.
[crowd]
What's going on?
In a disappointing
turn of events, it appears
the Times Circle Cube
is dropping
several minutes early!
Oh, no, our weight
is making the cube drop!
Dang it! I've been counting
all day, and for what!
And for what?!
Kevin can't see me like this!
Don't worry, once the cube
reaches the bottom,
we'll sneak off and no one
will know it was us!
-[fireworks explode]
-[playing "Auld Lang Syne"]
-Ah!
-Not the confetti!
Put it back!
[coughing]
Whoa! Aah!
[crowd]
Boo!
I hope Kevin didn't see that.
[crowd continues]
Boo!
What a shame.
There she is, folks.
We may not know her name,
but we'll always know her face
as "The Girl
Who Ruined New Year's."
Of course.
[both groan]
-Gloria?
-Hey, Mr. Green.
I just made a fool of myself
in front of the entire city.
I just made a fool of myself in
front of my mom and my ex-wife.
Ooph.
Nancy's always pushing me
to try new things
and enjoy my life.
I wouldn't even be in this mess
if Cricket wasn't pushing me to
get out of my comfort zone.
I mean, I'd like to
get out of my comfort zone
but I don't want to be
uncomfortable!
Sure, the thought of
asking out Kevin
is an unbearable weight
that's crushing me whole.
But what?
Am I supposed to--
Do they expect me to just--
[both]
Do something about it?
-They might have a point.
-Yeah.
Whatever happens, It's better
than feeling stuck like this.
Maybe we both
just need to jump.
What time is it?
It's not too late!
There's still time
to ask out Kevin.
There's still time to
catch up to Nancy and Mom.
I gotta run! See ya, Mr. Green!
Me too! Good luck, Gloria!
Happy New Year!
The cube has been reset
and we are now
seconds away
from the stroke of midnight!
Everyone please join me
-in the countdown
-Whoo!
as we all try to pretend
it's the first time
we've seen this tonight!
Here we go!
[crowd]
Ten, Nine, Eight
-Seven, Six
-Here comes the drop.
Five, Four
New year, new me.
-Go, Gloria, go!
-[crowd] Three, Two
You fool! The end is nigh.
-[gasps]
-[crowd] One!
[crowd roars]
Happy New Year!
Hm?
[splashes]
[Nancy]
Mm-hmm!
[giggles]
Hey, Kevin.
-I know you don't know me--
-No, I recognize you.
You're the girl
who dropped the cube earlier.
You don't know me--
But I'm into you.
Would you wanna
go out sometime?
Oh! You know, I'm not looking
for anything at the moment, so.
Oh, yeah, cool! Um,
thank you for your time, sir.
Uh, sure.
Happy New Year, to one and all!
-[gasping]
-[Benny] Aah!
Yeah! I feel so alive,
so strong and--
Oh, my gosh, that's cold!
[teeth chattering]
I d-don't remember it
-being this c-cold afterwards.
-[snaps]
I don't wanna be extreme,
anymore.
Not to worry, Ma.
I packed us extra towels
and hand warmers.
My resolution was to
break out of my comfort zone,
not act like some lunatic.
[chuckles]
Happy New Year, Bill.
Ok, I think Gloria got, like,
mega rejected.
So, let's just play it
real cool and chill and--
Oh, my gosh, Gloria!
-How's it going?
-Well,
Kevin turned me down,
but I actually,
feel kind of relieved!
-She's in shock!
-No, no, it's okay.
The worst case scenario
did happen
and it wasn't nearly as bad
as I built it up to be.
And if I can do something
that scary,
then there's nothing
I can't do this year!
I haven't felt this good
in months! [laughs]
Oh, my gosh!
I'm gonna go eat a burrito!
Happy New Year, everyone!
Aw, look at how well
she handles failure.
Taught her
everything she knows!
Well, I guess there's
nothing left to do
but start the countdown
for next year!
[deep breath] Forty-one
million, five hundred
[weatherman]
Good morning, Big City!
It seems we've awoken to
a surprise overnight snowfall!
Folks all across town
are taking it in
before it melts later tonight.
I'm Ronald Featherman,
your local weatherman,
here to get the word
from one of our very own.
You! Little boy, what do you
think of this surprise snow?
[unintelligible chatter]
Powerful words
from a powerful baby.
[kids laughing]
[pants, grunts]
Wow, way to take a hit, buddy!
So, you ready to play again
for the fourteenth time?!
We could, or we could play
together! On the same team!
Great idea! With your
high school level reading brain
and my one really strong arm,
we'd be the best
snowball fighting duo ever!
We just need someone else
to play against.
Let me go see if I can teach
the robot butler how to fight.
Ah! [gasps]
Vasquez! You saved me!
You're the best bodyguard,
ever.
It's my duty to protect you,
Master Remy.
[gasps] That's it! Vasquez!
You should snowball fight
me and Remy!
-No.
-That's a great idea, Cricket!
Vasquez, you must play with us!
-No.
-[Cricket] Nyeh!
Fight with us!
I cannot. I am
Master Remy's bodyguard.
To harm him in any way, even
with the gentlest snowball,
would violate
my prime directive.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Remy, may I have a word?
-Okay.
-I know how to get Vasquez
to play with us.
[clears throat]
As long as he's your bodyguard,
he's gotta guard
your little body, right?
-Mm-hmm.
-So, fire him!
-What?!
- Shh-shh-shh!
Fire him temporarily.
Just long enough for him
to snowball fight us!
Then you hire him back, m-kay?
That makes so much sense!
I'll go tell him the good news!
You do that, buddy.
Vasquez! Vasquez! You're fired!
Wh-wha--?
[wails in agony]
[wailing]
[sobbing]
Vasquez, it's okay!
I'll hire you back right after
you snowball fight us!
-If you give us a good game!
-Yeah!
Give us a good game! And
don't hold back, ya hear me?
Yes, Master Remy.
I hear you perfectly.
[both]
Yay!
You have a ten second
head start.
[both giggling]
It's two against one!
We're gonna obliterate him!
[boys sing song]
La, la, la, la, la!
If Master Remy
requires a good game,
then I shall give him
a good game.
We've been
unexpectedly seasoned
with nature's wintry salt.
Isn't it wonderful?
Sure is, Tilly-girl!
Just adding
the finishing touch There.
Lookin' good, Till.
Whaddya gonna name her?
[Tilly]
Her name is Margaret.
I like it!
I made a whole to-do list
for her.
Get made out of snow.
Melt.
The end.
What? What about
all the stuff in between?
Time moves swiftly
for a snow person.
She's a banana.
Green on the table,
but browning in the hand. Time.
Whoa. No, no-no-no.
Man, that is bleak.
There's so much
she'll miss out on!
Oh! She's dripping.
Tilly, if this is the one day
of Margaret's life,
then we gotta fill it up!
Make it rich!
-I suppose.
-Here, give me that list.
We are gonna give her
the best last first day, ever.
Let's go!
Ho-kay!
-Pack it once, twice,
-[snow squeaking]
thrice, and there!
We are ready for him.
All right, Remy, keep
a keen eye out for Vasquez.
[rustling]
[both]
Shh-shh-shh!
Huh, I guess it was noth--
Ah! Ugh!
Cricket! Are you okay?
[panting]
He's here.
Vasquez? Where--
Ah!
[screaming, crying]
-Remy, cover your vitals!
-I can't!
I have too many vitals!
It's getting in my un-do's,
Cricket! My un-do's!
Okay, hold on, buddy.
I got an idea!
Ow ow ow ow!
Vasquez, time out!
[silence]
[chuckles] Got him.
Cricket, there he is!
Ha! We fooled you, Vasquez!
[clatters]
[both gasp]
Gramma?!
Idiots!
[whimpers]
Then, where is he?
Here.
[gradually rising yell]
[crunches]
[yell continues to scream]
Run!
Hey, Joe Snow!
What about Gramma!
Everyone staying warm in here?
Hey, Bill, can we
get a hand here?
-This is Margaret.
-Uh, hi, Margaret.
We're trying to give her
a full life before she--
[whispers]
Melts.
And first up on
the list of experiences
is falling in love.
You gotta kiss her.
-[Tilly squeals]
-Makes perfect sense.
Margaret, I love you.
[kisses]
[Nancy]
Aw, sweet.
-Okay, next!
-[paper rustles]
Oh, shoot.
Hey, Bill, we need you
to dump Margaret.
I'm sorry, Margaret,
but I think we should
see other people.
[both wailing]
-Oh, no, Bill. Come on!
-Too cruel, Papa! Too cruel!
There are
plenty more fish in the sea.
[dryly]
Trust me, I know.
-[crying]
-Let's get moving!
What about eating
cartons of ice cream
and burning Papa's belongings?
[Nancy] No time!
Margaret's starting to soften.
Done-zo.
Up next, the zoo!
Who's ready
to see some polar bears?
-We are!
-Polar bear show
-starts in five minutes!
-Well, that was fun!
Huh?
But what about the polar--
They're bears, they're white.
Margaret gets it.
Time is short and
we got a lot to do!
Next up, the skate park.
Margaret's doin' an ollie!
Whoo! Good enough.
Margret's first movie!
[movie preview] Coming soon,
to a theater near you--
Okay, that's enough, we gotta
keep hoofin' on this list.
Hmph. What
is goin' on with her?
[Remy] Cricket,
we've been running for hours!
Can't we stop
to catch our breath?
Yeah, sure.
We've put enough distance
between us and Vasquez.
Let's just-- [groans]
Lie down for a second?
Ho, man, you hear that?
My heart is pounding.
-[whupping]
-Yeah, mine, too.
Oh, my gosh! Remy, run!
[both screaming]
[computer voice]
Auto pilot, engaged.
[grunts]
-Snow-zooka.
-[beeps]
[scream]
[boys]
Ah!
Uh, excuse me.
Vasquez! You're rehired!
Please stop!
You hear that, man?
Remy wants you back!
Everything can just
go back to normal!
Can't you see? It's us!
Vasquez, can't you hear us?!
Vasquez squash bugs.
He's too far gone!
We've created a monster!
Hello, Vasquez!
-Ah!
-Uh
Really?! We're walking, here!
Oh, wow, I said the thing.
You are not who I seek!
And you're not
the large pizza I ordered
for my snow person friend.
So, if you'll excuse us.
How's she liking her coffee,
Till?
I'm afraid Margaret
is beginning to sluice.
-Bye, Vasquez!
-[Vasquez growls]
What do we do now?
The only way to stop Vasquez
is to win this snowball fight.
Okay, we still
got a lot more to do.
How's Margaret's pizza party
wrapping up?
We're working on
the last slice.
[squelches]
Mama, I'm not sure
she's gonna last much--
Ugh! [strains, groans]
Mama, this is
getting out of hand.
Hey, there you are!
Next on her list is--
[straining]
mechanical bull riding!
Then, we'll get gelato,
go rock climbing--
Mama, are you all right?
One sec.
Then, we'll have a concert,
I'll do lead vocals and
you can be on tambourine.
-Mama--
-And then,
we can sign her up for tap!
[bull roars]
-[gasps]
-[splats]
Ah! That's okay! She's okay!
We're just gonna squish
the snow back together
and Margret will be okay
and we can move on
to the next thing
on the list and--
May I have a word with you?
[bartender]
Skim milk, on the rocks.
Ah, just the way I like it.
Mama, I know it's difficult
to see Margaret
-in such an unseemly state.
-[dripping]
But snow persons melt
all the time.
I suspect something else
is plaguing you.
Well now, look at you.
You're already talkin'
so grownup-ly! [chuckles]
[sighs] I guess, seeing
Margaret's life go by so fast
made me think of you,
and all the time
I missed with you
when I was in jail.
And all the time I miss
when I'm not with you.
You're just growin' up so fast.
-[slurps]
-[laughs]
Well, I guess,
you're still a kid, after all.
Mama, what's important is
enjoying the time
we have together, right now.
Margaret's life
may be just a day,
but we still have a whole
lifetime to spend together.
Oh, sweetie, I love you.
I'm so sorry
I made all the stuff
with Margaret
rushed and weird.
I just really did not
want to see her melt.
Well, maybe,
she doesn't have to.
Best snow day, ever!
So, they've returned
to the nest.
[computer beeping]
Target found.
[splats]
-Wha--
-Idiot!
Language!
But that means-- Ooh!
[teeth chattering]
We t-t-took off our clothes
and hid in the snow to lower
our c-core temperature
so you couldn't see us!
B-because we're s-s-smart!
And now, you're finished!
Huh? Ah!
[both]
Whoo-hoo! Yeah!
It's finally over. We won.
Uh-oh. Ah! Remy!
Cricket!
-Yah!
-Run! [muffled]
Vasquez, stop!
Vasquez squash bugs!
Fine! If I can't win,
-I'll lose!
-Huh?
If this is what it takes
to end this,
do it! Let's finish this!
[grunting]
Huh? What?
I asked for a good game,
now gimme a good game!
C'mon, right here!
[groaning]
Vasquez squash bug!
Vasquez squash--
M-Master Remy?
-Oh!
-[Cricket] Ow.
Master Remy! What have I done?
Vasquez, you're back!
Can you ever forgive me?
Already done! Vasquez,
will you be my bodyguard
again?
Yes, yes,
a thousand times, yes!
Wow, love conquers all.
Huh? Hey,
whaddya think you're doing?
That'll teach you to use
your Gramma as bait!
