No worries, Mia.
Yeah, I'll go straight to the seventh floor and check it out.
It's under control. See you soon.
Robotic voice: First floor.
Man: Great, boom. Nice. It's going to be good.
Okay, I'm just looking here.
Show me. Very nice.
- Morning, Helmut. - Oh, Jenna, darling.
Got you a cappuccino with a sprinkle of nutmeg just like you like.
Thanks. You're an angel.
Yes, I am. Morning, guys.
Helmut, I need to get plenty of close-ups of this ring.
Lots of light bouncing off of it, lots of sparkle,
especially when Alec is about to get on one knee and propose.
I know. It's all about the ring and the romance.
Got it.
Oh, Tiff, looks like you're wearing the wrong lipstick.
It's supposed to be Forever Yours Red, not Come Hither Red.
- [ clicks tongue ] - Makeup.
Morning, Mr. Dyer.
Yes. Okay.
Yeah, I'll be down in a minute.
- Jenna, it's good to see you. - Hey, Ms. Hall.
- How do you like your new Trend location? - Oh, my gosh, we love it.
And you did such a great job designing the offices.
Designing the Trend offices was a dream project.
Well, you've made us love this building even more.
I never thought I'd meet anyone who clocked more hours than me,
but you and Mia certainly have me beat.
Yeah, well, I guess working for Mia has been my dream project.
She has built a very impressive fashion empire.
Pretty much single-handedly.
Well, I hope she doesn't have you working through Christmas.
Robotic voice: First floor.
[ chuckles ] Not this year.
This year I am spending it with my dad.
Oh, the one man who always thinks you're his princess and never lets you down.
Oh, I wish.
Actually, things have been a bit estranged between me and my dad
ever since he remarried a woman who's become a bit of a step-monster.
Oh, that's a tough load.
Yeah. What about you? Any special Christmas plans?
Let's just say I think I'll be enjoying this Christmas much more than the last one.
- Oh. - I have some materials for Mia, so I'll see you soon.
Great. Have a great day.
- Hi, Jenna. - Hi.
Hello, ladies.
Morning, Audrey.
- Morning. - Hi.
Got some flowers for you from John Ford.
Please give those to whoever you give them to
and write him a lovely thank-you note from me.
You don't even want Mr. Ford's flowers, huh?
No, they're far too Christmassy and red.
I thought you were just as bah humbug about the holidays as I am.
You know, not this year.
This year, I'm kinda looking forward to Christmas.
Oh, so, uh, your lunch meeting with designer Kiko Komodo
has been moved from 12:30 to 1:00
and I've adjusted all of your afternoon appointments accordingly.
- Oh, what about-- - And the contract is being messengered to Mr. Dyer.
- I called him to confirm. - Terrific.
- How'd the shoot look? - Christmas romantic.
Glad I missed it.
I'll give 'em to Accounts.
Perfect. Accounts.
Man on radio: Good evening, Boston.
Temperatures are dropping
and there's a chance of snow in the forecast.
Better bundle up. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas out there.
[ cell phone chiming ]
- Hey, Dad. - Hi, Jen.
So I, uh, got your text.
Are we good for me to book my flight from the 21st to the 27th like we discussed?
Uh, you know, why don't you make it
the 23rd through the 26th?
Okay.
Um, that doesn't really give us much time together.
Yeah, I know, but Ruth's kids and the grandkids
are gonna be here and the place is just gonna be crazy.
Right.
Okay, yeah, um, I can book it for the 23rd to the 26th.
All right, good. It's all set.
Uh, Ruth's calling me. I-- I gotta go.
- Bye, Dad. Love you. - Love you, too.
[ knocks on door ]
Hey, neighbor. Hope you're hungry.
Don't come in unless it's something I want.
Chengdu chicken and chow mein
and Chengdu chicken and chow mein.
Oh, tough choice.
Wow, look at these designs! These are stellar.
Look at you cranking 'em out.
You show 'em to Mia yet?
No, I haven't.
I'll probably wait till after Christmas.
What? No. No, you always have an excuse.
A holiday, Christmas, graduation, a birthday.
Do it now.
I will. I'm just-- look, I'm not ready yet.
You're ready.
All right, well,
- have you heard from Abby? - No.
What kind of girl breaks up right before Christmas?
I don't know. Maybe one who wants something more.
Like a commitment.
Well, I guess I'm just not ready for that, then.
But at least I have you to commiserate with.
Mm, not this time.
I think I'm on Abby's side for this one.
What? Okay, no, just because you had a bad experience,
don't lump me into that group with the other guys.
Okay, let me ask you this, Sebastian.
Since you just let Abby down,
why is it so easy for you guys?
There's not enough beer in the world to answer that question.
So what are we doing for Christmas?
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, this year I'm spending it with my dad.
What? No. No, you never do that.
I know, but my mom is going on some tropical vacation.
She's gonna be in the Caribbean frolicking with her book club friends,
so my dad knew I was gonna be alone.
Thanks, Dad. Now I spend Christmas alone.
Aww. Well, not unless you call Abby.
[ coughs ]
- No. - [ laughs ]
[ coughs ]
- Hey. - Morning.
You have your designs with you?
No.
Go back and get them and show Mia.
I don't have time today. Not today, Sebastian.
Go! If you don't, I'm not bringing you any more dinners.
You wouldn't dare.
Yeah? Try me. Go.
Great.
[ car horn honks ]
No, no.
Hey.
So I have some options
for January's Mexican ruins bathing suit shoot.
I got exclusive access to use these specific locations.
Some of them are your top choices.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Ahem.
Um, I also have something else I'd like to show you.
- Like or need? - Like.
I don't really have time for "like" right now.
- Is everything okay there, Mia? - No.
My brother just texted me that he is coming into town very soon.
Oh, the playboy brother.
Yeah, I'm just not in the mood to deal
with Cooper's shenanigans and cleaning up his messes.
You know, at Christmas it's hard enough to come out unscathed.
Yeah. Oh, hold on.
Hello, Pierre.
Pierre, we're already shooting.
Okay, look, if you want to add a necklace and earrings,
you're gonna have to get it here ASAP. I mean now.
Okay. I'll let everyone know.
Pierre wants to add some expensive jewelry to the shoot.
Of course he does. That's what he always wants.
How long do we have Alec and Tiffany for?
Only about another two hours. I'll let Helmut know.
Teotihuacan.
My first choice, too.
Let's do it.
Hey, Dad, it's me.
I wanted to see if you got my e-mail about my flights.
I'm coming in on the 23rd
and I'm kinda hoping you can pick me up from the airport.
If you can't, it's fine. I can get a rental car.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you.
I love you. Bye.
Okay, slow the pose. Turn to me. That's good.
- That's good. - So Pierre wants to add some jewelry.
A necklace and two earrings.
- Yeah? When? - Soon, we hope.
Okay, we wait.
Keep going. Nice.
You did say soon, didn't you?
Hours ago.
Yeah, so what's the holdup?
You know, it's a different excuse every time.
I'm just gonna call him again.
You do realize with Tiffany long gone, you're going to have to model.
- I don't see why. - Well, Mia's certainly not going to.
- It's too late to get anyone else. - Oh, you're right.
With the new website deadline, there's no other choice.
Oh, my goodness.
Please tell me you're from Pierre.
- Awesome. - Relax.
You're going to look gorgeous.
- [ chuckles ] - Whether or not I do, I do this one for you.
- Thank you, baby. - You're welcome.
- [ chatter ] - [ phone ringing ]
Let's go.
I'm just gonna wait here, darling. My feet are killing me.
Aww. And leave me to suffer the wrath of my sister alone?
Precisely.
- I'll be down in a few minutes. - Okay.
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: First floor.
Beautiful.
That's what I'm talking about.
You look fabulous.
Okey-dokey. Gorgeous.
Turn, turn. Nice, nice.
Slowly, slowly, slowly. Moving.
Let's see the-- yes, yes-- necklace.
Hold that. Hold it.
Amazing. Very good.
Loving it, loving it. Love. Love. Love. Love.
Hi.
Cooper Montgomery.
Hi. Wow.
Hey, sis.
I warned you I'd be visiting.
I just didn't think it'd be so soon.
What, aren't you happy to see your big brother?
No, I'm not. I don't have the time or energy
to deal with you and clean up your mess.
I'm not here to make a mess.
I'm just here to celebrate Christmas
with the beautiful Brittany.
Wasn't there a Brittany a few flings back?
Yes. We are working on our third re-hookup.
- She gets me. - Ah.
Anyway, I'm here to celebrate Christmas with her family.
- How novel. - I know, right?
- Mm. - So what do you say?
What do I say about what?
Do the Christmassy thing with us this year.
Roast chestnuts and drink eggnog?
[ sighs ]
We are the last of our family empire, kiddo.
- Would it kill you to relax and... - [ cell phone chirps ]
...clink a champagne flute with us?
Yes, actually, it would.
Fasten your seatbelts, Mia.
I'm in town for a spell.
Merry Christmas.
We're done. High five. You're free as a bird.

Hey, excuse me.
That was my floor.
- Oh, sorry. - Yeah, I'm sure you are.
- [ sighs ] - Mrs. Claus, right?
Back in her showgirl days?
I am not Showgirl Claus.
I'm standing in for her.
- You're feisty. - Mm.
I think you're stuck with me.
I'm not stuck with you, so think again.
- [ banging, rumbling ] - Whoa.
- Great. - I guess you really are stuck with me.
- Wow. - Do you have a cell phone?
- I do, um... - Can you please call somebody
so that we can let them know that we're stuck and I can get back to work?
Why would I want to do that...
when I can do this?
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: First floor.
Seriously? You can't keep your hands off a bimbo model wearing diamonds?
You actually think I'm a bimbo model?
Those diamonds suit you well.
Although, a little bit more cleavage would enhance the overall look.
- Hey. - Huh.
[ elevator bell dings ]
- Those were real diamonds she was wearing. - Are you hungry?
I am famished. Let's go have dinner.
Well, you certainly look ready for a cold drink to cool you off.
Nothing happened. Nothing for you to worry about.
I'm not worried. I'm amused.
Besides, I have you, and my manicured hands are not about to let you go.
How's the Chateau Kevy Wevy?
A touch bland, just like his company this evening.
Hmm?
It's been a long day. I'm tired.
Sweetheart, I'm gonna go freshen up.
That should give you plenty of time
to get your mind back where it belongs--
on me.
[ sighs ]
[ cell phone vibrates ]
- [ sighs ] - [ footsteps approach ]
- [ groans ] - [ knocks on door ]
I just heard that groan from the other side of the wall.
- What's wrong? - Yeah, I just spent, like, 15 minutes
trying to hang these lights and they all just collapsed on me.
Okay, seriously, what's wrong?
- Did plans fall through with your dad? - No, those are still on.
Can you help me out here?
So today, this guy at work
decides randomly to just kiss me in the elevator, like majorly kiss me.
And then when we get down to the bottom floor,
I guess it's his girlfriend,
she looks at me and she calls me a model bimbo.
Why'd she call you a model bimbo?
I was wearing a skimpy little outfit
because I was standing in for a model for a shoot this evening.
It was in, like, a sexy Mrs. Claus outfit.
Please tell me you have these pictures.
- See? You guys, you're all-- - Uh-uh. No, no.
Don't lump me in with "you guys." No.
Well, the only reason this guy kissed me is because I was dressed kinda bimbo-y.
And now all you care about is how I looked in the skimpy dress.
Okay, just because I'm your neighbor doesn't underestimate the fact
that I can't appreciate you dressed as a sexy Mrs. Claus. That's all I'm saying.
[ chuckles ] You just made my point.
- [ laughs ] I did, didn't I? - Mm-hmm.
So did you show your designs to Mia?
[ sighs ] I tried.
Maybe not as hard as I should have.
But I tried.
You gonna try again?
So why'd this guy kiss you?
You know, I have no idea.
There was mistletoe in the elevator.
Really? That's all it takes?
A little mistletoe, you're like...
- [ smooching ] - [ scoffs ] No!
That is not all it takes.
- So then what made him so special? - Nothing.
Nothing. There was nothing special about him or his kiss.
Morning, Mia.
I have your skinny double cappuccino.
Your printed schedule.
I also e-mailed it and I confirmed every meeting.
He's in town and he wants to be a part of Trend.
Who? Oh, your brother.
He's never had any interest in the business,
and now, all of a sudden, he does.
He has just always just cashed the checks and flirted with the models.
And now-- now he wants to be involved
right from the very beginning, starting this morning.
I don't get it. How? I mean, what does "be involved" mean?
I have no idea.
I mean, he's not good at anything
except for partying and treating women like disposal objects.
Now he's gonna come in around lunchtime,
he's gonna flirt with all the pretty women in the office,
and then he'll leave for happy hour.
So just say no.
You don't need him. You're the boss, right?
I can't. We're equal partners.
So hold him accountable. Give him some work.
If he has to roll up his sleeves and work for something,
I'm sure he'll get bored of it and start frolicking back to his old lifestyle.
[ laughs ] All right, you're gonna go and get him
and you're gonna bring him back here.
Oh, no, no, no. Mia, you know my schedule is right down to--
You make the necessary arrangements because he has no work ethic,
whereas you-- you are full of zealous interest in this company.
And if anyone is gonna scare him away from Trend, it's gonna be you.
- Go get him. - Right.
I only have myself to thank for my brilliant ideas. Thank you, self.
Here, I'm texting you his address.
Great. Thanks.
I hate these lids.
[ sighs ]
- Ooh. - [ phone clatters ]
Thank you.
Come in.
- Come in, please. - I--
- I don't want to interrupt anything. - No, no, no.
You're not interrupting anything. I came home alone last night.
[ exhales ] So you found me, huh?
[ laughs ] Don't flatter yourself.
- No, I didn't find you. - Uh, you're here.
That's 'cause I'm looking for Cooper Montgomery.
You found him.
Okay, just so you understand, I am not here
because of a meaningless kiss in an elevator.
- "Meaningless"? Really? - Yeah.
- Wow. - Your sister told me all about how you like to,
uh, pick up models, give 'em really cheesy pick-up lines.
So you are from Trend. [ laughing ]
I'm Mia's assistant.
Ooh.
- But you were modeling last night. - Yeah, that's irrelevant.
I'm in a really big hurry. If you could please get your things.
I gotta tell ya, um,
I'll be the first to admit
that I have kissed many women.
But last night that kiss,
that was amazing.
I mean that was-- that was different.
- I mean, that kiss-- that kiss was... - [ sighs ]
- ...electric. - [ groans ]
You know what would be amazing?
Would be if you could just go ahead upstairs and get dressed
so that I can get us both to work.
That is, of course, you are still interested in helping Mia.
Oh, absolutely. I'm still very interested.
- All right, listen. - [ chuckles ]
You-- you--
you are going to have to show some respect
if we're gonna be working together.
I'm not gonna be one of your scores.
No. No. No, no, no.
You are definitely not a score.
But I am gonna win you over.
Oh, okay.
You and I, we're gonna be friends.
Just hurry. We got a lot to do.
I just gotta put my shoes on.
- Hey, sis. - You are not here, therefore you are late.
I am ready for work.
I'm with our beautiful assistant right now.
Whoa. She's not a plaything, Cooper.
She's my assistant and she has work to do.
Actually, since I am co-owner of Trend, she's our assistant,
and I haven't had my breakfast yet.
- So ourassistant is going to accompany meto breakfast. - What?
- What?
Perfect opportunity for me to get caught up on Trend.
You know what, Cooper? If you are playing either one of us,
- I am going to grab you by the balls and I'm-- - No worries, sis. Love you.
Shall we? I'm famished.
There is a deli across the street from Trend. It's quick and convenient.
- Yeah, I don't do quick and convenient. - That's not what I've heard.
[ laughs ]
Don't believe everything my sister tells you.
She's jaded when it comes to men.
Well, she comes by it honestly, it seems. She's been hurt before.
Sounds like you have, too.
Which is why I have a keen eye
for men who are heartbreakers.
Well, since quick and convenient is what you're after,
how 'bout a chocolate croissant and a coffee, please?
- What will you be having? - Nothing.
I already had breakfast, thanks.
A chocolate croissant and a coffee, please.
Last night I perused back issues of Trend
and checked out some of the archives on the website.
That's very conscientious of you.
Not really. I was just looking for photos of you.
Can we keep it professional, please?
How long have you been working at Trend?
About two years.
My sister's a real taskmaster, isn't she?
Oh, Mia is incredibly dedicated.
She's honest, hardworking.
I mean, what she's accomplished, I really admire her.
- And I really like her. - Does she have you working over Christmas?
No.
Do you have any plans for Christmas?
I'm not sure how that's relevant.
I need to know whether or not
I need to hire a temp in your absence.
Okay. I am spending Christmas
with my dad and his new family.
His family, not yours?
Well, he got remarried and now he has a new family.
Are you close?
We were.
Until he got remarried.
Mm. How long ago was that?
When I was a teen.
Our mother and father were a merger.
They knew it. I knew it. Mia knew it.
And if they stepped out on each other
and we got wind of it, it didn't bother them one bit.
Maintaining the marriage maintained the merger.
Less costly than a divorce.
Man, that--
that explains Mia's cynicism towards romance.
That and she had her heart broken
by a really nice guy who couldn't handle the Montgomery name.
Hmm.
Well, you seem to, uh,
have romance mastered.
On the contrary.
Nah...
the one time, the only time
that I was ever romantic or even felt romantic
was 12 hours ago in an elevator.
- Mr. Montgomery-- - It's Cooper.
And I won't mention our connection again.
- Thank you. - For the rest of the morning.
[ chuckling ]
Wow, you have a beautiful smile.
Well, I tend to smile when I get a text from my boyfriend.
- You don't have a boyfriend. - Excuse me?
You don't know anything about my life or who or what I have in it.
I know that if you had a boyfriend, you wouldn't have kissed me that way.
Uh, you kissed me that way
when you had a girlfriend waiting for you in the lobby.
Yeah, we're not that serious.
Well, me and my boyfriend are that serious.
Whatever you say, Sexy Santa.
It's Jenna.
I cannot believe that you guys are just turning up right now.
It wasn't my idea to go fetch him.
She is quite fetching.
You know what, Jenna? Can you give Cooper and I a minute alone, please?
Absolutely. He's all yours.
- Wow. - Have a seat.
I want you to stay away from Jenna.
She's the best assistant I've ever had
and she's one of the reasons that I've been able
to build this company to where it is now.
She's smart,
she's got a great head on her shoulders,
and she's easy to work with.
She's a godsend, and I don't want you blowing it
just because you have some itch that you need to scratch.
Okay.
There is no doubt in my mind that she is the best at what she does,
but the reason that this company thrives,
little sister, is because of you. Because it is your life.
It is your whole life. You have nothing else.
I would rather have a thriving, successful business
where I foster creativity and I employ over 100 people
than have some fun-filled, shallow life
that's meaningless and chasing meaningless relationships.
Okay... they had meaning at the time.
Stay away from Jenna. She's too good for you.
Just stick with Brittany.
She's your perfect match.
I'm gonna need some office space.
Wait, you wanna stay working here at Trend?
Yes.
And the office next door looks quite roomy.
- That's Jenna's. - Well, yeah.
I mean, who better to learn from other than you?
And I highly doubt you wanna play mentor to me.
If you have some ulterior motive...
Coat.
Thank you.
- Hey, roomie. - "Roomie"?
Oh, we're gonna be officemates.
Did this come from-- from Mia?
No, that came from me.
Hey, how about a tour of Trend
that might possibly involve the elevator?
[ sarcastic laugh ]
I actually had the exact same idea. A tour.
Uh, Audrey, could you come in here for a moment?
- Who's Audrey? - Oh, um, she's our lovely receptionist
and she is going to take you on a tour.
We have several subcontractors
with their offices on the seventh floor.
And she's gonna take you to meet them.
It's gonna be great. A couple hours' worth of visiting.
Wow. You don't play fair, do you?
[ laughs ] I don't play, period.
This isn't a game.
Show me the ropes, Audrey.
[ exhales ] Okay.
Robotic voice: Fourth floor.
Robotic voice: Fifth floor.
Oh, my God, Cooper. It's wonderful to see you.
I didn't know you were in town.
A surprise for Mia, actually.
- Yeah, I'm sure that was one heck of a surprise. - That it was.
- Are you home for Christmas? - And then some.
As in through New Year's?
As in today
is my first day working at Trend.
- Oh, really? - Mm.
- How is Mia handling it? - Through gritted teeth.
I bet she is. Good for you.
Thank you. Thank you for the support. Unlike my sister.
- I am supportive. Change is good. - That it is.
Yeah, I was a lot like Mia.
I was married to my job. Kept my mind busy to distract my heart.
- Was as in past tense? - Past tense.
Yeah, you know, sometimes you just need to meet the right person to inspire you.
You do, don't you?
- Thank you. - Welcome home.
Huh.
[ clicking tongue ]
- You're a maestro now? - Coop?
Coop!
[ yells ]
The prodigal brother has returned.
This is your job, and I don't need to tell you what colors to bring.
I just, you know, I'm givin' my two cents.
I trust you, though. Send what you want.
Okay.
Well, you know what? Merry Christmas to you, too.
- Well, that was quick. - I'm a fast learner.
Well, you know what? That-- that is a good thing.
I have something else for you.
These are the annual account reports
and business portfolio summary for the company.
You need to familiarize yourself with every single detail of the business.
I'm on it.
Good.
[ vibrating ]
Hey, baby.
"Hey, baby"?
You remember what I told you about?
Yesterday? What happened in the elevator?
He's there with you right now, isn't he?
Right-- right across from me. Sitting here right now.
He's actually Mia's brother.
[ laughs ] No way. Really?
You want me to pretend I'm your fake boyfriend, don't you?
That's right, baby.
Well, now that I'm your fake boyfriend,
I would like to address the fact
that you don't respond to any of my text messages.
Okay, it has been a very hard and long day.
Have you shown Mia your designs yet?
Yeah, I just haven't-- I haven't had a chance to yet, no.
You're going to, right?
Yes, sir. I am.
Good. You have pleased your sir.
[ laughs ] None of that.
Stop. Good-bye.
[ giggling ] Sick.
- It's, uh, my boyfriend. - Yeah, I gathered.
You told him about the elevator?
Well, yeah.
I mean, he's my boyfriend. I tell him everything.
Wow.
Did you tell him it was a kiss like no other?
- [ vibrates ] - Oh.
- Hi, Dad. - Hi, honey.
Hi. So, uh, I assume you got my message about my flight?
Yeah, yeah. I did.
Can you pick me up from the airport?
Uh, you know, why don't you, uh, get a rental?
Oh.
Yeah, okay. That's fine.
And I e-mailed you some suggestions
for, uh, a Christmas present for Ruth.
You know she can be quite picky.
Yes, I know. She's quite picky.
So it's all settled, then.
Uh, we're good. I, uh-- I gotta get going.
Oh. I love you. Bye, Dad.
Who's the picky woman?
She's my stepmother.
Though she would prefer that I never called her that.
In fact, if it were up to her, she would have no contact with me at all.
Hmph.
Her loss.
I, uh, have to--
I have to, uh, go to,
um-- I have a business errand.
So, yeah, um...
welcome.
And I'll see you later. Enjoy the reading.
All right.
Ahem.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hey, so is Cooper treating you all right?
Either her at the office or personally?
- I'm wondering. - [ awkward laugh ]
- Uh, nothing I can't handle. - Good.
Do you have a second to just chat about this Mexican ruin shoot?
- These locations? - Absolutely.
- Knock? knock. - Yes.
- Hey. I see that Jenna's busy talking to Mia. - Hey.
I'm going go leave these photos for her.
You tell her to come talk to me when she picks
- which one she wants to use. - Will do.
Okey-dokey. My main man.
Whoop.
Oh, yeah.
If you have a minute, I wanted to show you something.
Sure.
Check these out.
Oh, who's the designer?
Me, actually.
I didn't know that you had any interest in designing.
I do.
Very much so.
Uh, don't get me wrong, I love my job here,
but, uh, it's my passion.
It's ultimately what I want to do.
What do you think?
You know what I think, Jenna,
I just think that you're really good at what you do here.
You're fabulous. You're indispensable to me and--
and I really think that you should really focus at what you're good at.
Which is here at Trend.
Oh.
You're right.
Uh, thanks.
Hey.
Helmut left something for you.
He wants you to see him afterwards.
[ sighs ]
Wow.
- Hey, you can knock. - What did you say to Jenna?
Well, that's none of your business.
Well, whatever it is, you crushed her.
- That was not my intention. - What did you say about these?
What, did she send you in here?
No, no. She chucked them in the trash when she left.
And these are good. These are damn good.
- Well, it doesn't matter now. - Well, it does to Jenna.
[ telephone ringing ]
[ sighs ]
You a wine or a beer girl?
What?
Well, it's happy hour
and you look like you could use a happy drink.
Huh.
Is that a yes?
Um, I am remembering something that your sister said
about you and happy hours.
[ laughs ]
Yeah, I can imagine.
Look, it's just that it's Friday.
And I wanna make you happy.
I don't know. Um...
- that's sweet. - Brittany: Hello, darling.
Coop, I hope you haven't forgotten
that we have special plans this evening.
Oh, right.
Crazy day. Slipped my mind.
How was your first day at Trend?
It was very interesting.
Hello. We didn't officially meet last night.
I'm Brittany. Cooper's girlfriend.
Oh, yes. Jenna.
And not a bimbo model, it appears.
No, I'm not.
I imagine a model has a much more exciting life than an assistant.
[ chuckles ] Um...
you know, it was a pleasure meeting you, Brittany.
And I hope you two have a fabulous evening.
It's Friday night, darling, I'm ready to have some fun.
Wow. When did you get to be so catty?
I'm not catty, I'm sassy.
Besides, that's one of the things you said you loved about me.
Oh, yeah, that word...
is not part of our situation.
[ knocks on door ]
Honey, I'm home.
So, do you have a kiss for your sir?
- Hey. - Hey, I'm just playing along.
You're the one that started it.
So how'd it go with Mia today?
[ groans ]
I knew there was a reason why I was hesitant to show her my designs.
She was less than thrilled by them.
And then politely told me to stick to my day job.
And now I have to deal with her brother and his girlfriend.
The one that called you the model bimbo?
Mm-hmm. That's the one.
Oh, and then take a look at this.
My dad actually sent me an e-mail
with Christmas gift suggestions for Ruth, her son, and his kids.
- Do you even know these people? - No.
I mean, I've met the son once,
but I have to go shopping tomorrow now.
Will you go with me?
Well, I guess since I am your boyfriend, I am duty-bound.
Actually, you should be duty-bound to Abby.
She was a catch and a keeper.
I know. I gotta figure that out.
Although, I am getting used to you calling me "sir."
[ sarcastic laugh ] Well, don't.
- ♪ Ho-ho-ho - ♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way ♪
- ♪ Ho-ho-ho - ♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... ♪
[ bell ringing ]
I think I'm almost done here.
Lots of shopping.
Hey, that guy that we always see at the bar is watching you.
Where?
Oh, my gosh. That's-- that's, uh-- that's Cooper.
That's Mia's-- that's Mia's brother.
- Oh-- oh, my God. He's coming this way. - What do we do?
- You're my boyfriend. - What do we do? I'm your boyfriend.
- Yes. - Okay, I'm your boyfriend. [ laughing ]
Hey.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Fancy meeting you here. - Yeah.
- Wow. How are you? - Hi.
I'm great.
We're just doing some Christmas shopping for my dad and his family.
Very nice.
- Oh. - Hi. I'm Sebastian.
- Oh. - The boyfriend.
- Yeah, he's my boyfriend. - Ah.
- You look familiar. - Yeah, well, uh,
I bartend over at Verde's.
- That's it. - Mm.
You're a very lucky man, Sebastian.
Yeah. Of course I am.
Be with a lady who's so smart
and talented, beautiful.
- Charming. Sweet. - Oh, my gosh.
- Caring. Emotionally-- - Okay, okay.
[ nervous laughter ]
- That she is. - Yeah.
Pleasure.
- I'll see you at the office on Monday. - See you then.
- Have a great weekend. - You, too.
[ hisses ]
Okay, if I was your real boyfriend, I would be totally jealous right now.
What? What are you talking about? Why?
'Cause he's totally into you.
No, no. He has a girlfriend.
In fact, as far as I've heard, he's got several girlfriends.
Okay, I really doubt he's giving any of them
that big toothy smile that he's givin' you.
I mean, there was genuine interest there.
I mean, did you see how angry he got
when found out that we were boyfriend and girlfriend?
Look, he is just one of those guys.
He's not trustworthy. He always has to have a new girl.
A shiny new toy. Super fickle with women. No.
Okay, he may be all those things, but he's still into you.
Brittany, free for dinner tonight?
It's so nice having the old Cooper back.
What is it that you like about me?
That's a silly question.
Okay, you're drop-dead handsome.
You're sexy. You're confident.
Women love you, but I have you.
You have the means to enjoy the finer things in life,
things we both enjoy.
Good food, good wine.
First-class travel.
We fit. I'll be right back, darling.
I'm gonna go powder my nose.
Can I get you another glass of wine?
No, thanks.
Sebastian's not workin' tonight, is he?
Nope. Not tonight.
Date night, right?
Yeah, they make a cute couple.
Couple? Sebastian's girlfriend broke up last week.
No, no, no, no. I saw him and Jenna together today.
Jenna's not Sebastian's girlfriend.
She's not?
No. She's his next-door neighbor. They're just good buddies.
- Rally? - Really.
Thanks.
[ laughing ]
You look happy.
- Brittany, honey. - Mm-hmm.
Those reasons, why you think we fit,
I'm not feeling it anymore.
I don't wanna fit for the reasons you think we fit.
- My life is going in a different direction. - Excuse me?
I need space.
Brittany, I need to focus on work.
You've never focused on work before.
Okay, well, things are different now. I don't know.
- I'm different. - They're different only for the moment.
But you'll come back to me. You always do.
[ cell phone vibrating ]
Um, hello?
Jenna.
Hi. Uh, is everything okay?
Is everything all right with Mia?
I didn't wake Sebastian, did I?
No. [ whispering ] No, no, no.
Um, we just--
we were falling asleep on the couch.
He's asleep, so...
Why are you calling?
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind meeting me tomorrow at Trend.
Totally work-related.
Well, technically, tomorrow--
uh, today is Sunday.
Yeah, listen.
I have sort of an interesting contribution
that I want to make to Trend and I need your help.
- Seriously? - Seriously.
Hmm.
- Okay. - [ whispers ] Why are we whispering?
'Cause I don't wanna wake up Sebastian.
Oh, right.
- Good-bye. - Bye.
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: Fourth floor.
- What is all this? - This?
This is my contribution to Trend.
Hmm.
- A picnic, huh? - What?
No, the poinsettias.
Look, I hate to say it,
I know you worked hard on all this,
but we gotta get it all out before the morning.
No. No, no, no. Listen.
I know that my sister
is all anti-Christmas, but they're poinsettias.
Come on, they're beautiful. They're tropical.
They would look great in the offices. Help me set them up.
I'm sorry. Mia has a very strict policy
against any holiday decorations in the office.
And she's my boss. I have to respect her wishes.
As part-owner of Trend,
I have equal say in the matter.
- I gotta go. - What?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.
Brittany and I broke up.
Wait, why are you telling me this? Why should I care?
Well, because I hoping that you feel the same way I do.
I have a boyfriend.
Sebastian is-- he's a great guy.
He's smart and he's funny and he's reliable and...
Are those the things that you like about him?
The things I love about him.
Then why did you kiss me the way you did?
[ sighs ]
I do this-- it was a mistake.
So stupid. Like, this was just one big ploy to get me here.
You had no plans about working today, did you?
You saw me with a great guy, I became more of a challenge.
It's just a game, right?
You know, the more I see you in action, the more I regret that kiss.
Okay, hey, no. No, no, no, no, no. Don't say that.
I have not been able to think
about anything else.
What's your angle here?
You want one more romantic encounter with me
to get me out of your system, is that it?
So you can have conquered another woman?
Inflated your ego again? One more notch on your bedpost?
And then you can go sauntering back
to good old faithful Brittany and back to your playboy ways.
No, I'm sorry. This is never, ever, ever gonna happen.
[ cell phone chiming ]
- Hi, Dad. - Hi, Jen.
Uh, I'm sorry.
There's, uh, there's been a change of plans.
What do you mean?
Well, Ruth's sister and her family
are gonna be coming in to, uh, spend Christmas with us as well.
So?
Well, we don't have the room to house everyone.
Um, well, Dad,
I can... [ sighs ]
I can stay in a hotel. I don't mind.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I can't let you do that.
Ruth: Anytime now, okay?
Jim, are you gonna get those things down from the attic?
Ruth doesn't want me spending Christmas with you, does she?
- Ruth: Anytime now! - Honey, it's complicated.
No, actually, Dad, it's not that complicated.
It's pretty simple. You either want me with you for Christmas or you don't.
Jen, it's not just about what I want and about me.
- Ruth: Jim! - Look, right after the holidays
we'll spend some time together, huh?
Just the two of us. Okay?
[ sniffles ] Fine.
- [ crying ] - Hey.
I have to go. I have to go now.
Jenna, wait!
Jenna. Jenna, wait up!
Robotic voice: Fourth floor.
Cooper: Jenna!
Jen--
Jenna, wait.
- Hey. - I cannot deal with you right now.
Well, you're gonna, okay?
What, you don't want me to see you cry? What?
That was a crap move that your dad pulled back there.
Oh, come here.
I spent thousands of dollars on airplane tickets and presents
thinking I can finally trust him.
I should have known better.
What is wrong with me?
Why can't he love me the way he loves his new family?
Look at me. Look at me.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.
You are so easy to love.
Don't ever doubt that.
He broke my mom.
And now I feel like he's breaking me.
You're stronger than that.
I know in the moment it's hard to find, but you'll find it.
Robotic voice: First floor.
Morning.
Ah. I need this coffee. Thank you.
I see that Cooper has put decorations all over the office.
Except for mine, of course.
But it makes me worried.
He's up to something. He's different.
I'm not sure what it is, but he's called a meeting
with the two of us in the conference room.
- Me, us? - Mm-hmm.
- What about? - I don't know, but I'm nervous.
All right, I just have to make a quick call
and then I'll meet you in the conference room.
- How you doing? - I'm good, thanks.
Please.
Cooper, what's this all about?
Hey, sis. Have a seat.
When I came to town, I wanted to be a part of Trend.
My motives were less than noble.
I'll give you that.
But since I've been here,
I've seen how much this company means to you.
Maybe for the first time ever,
and it's about time I started to respect that.
Which is why I wanna throw
a Christmas Eve holiday party for Trend.
I will cover all the costs.
Okay...
- now tell me what's really going on. - Nothing's going on.
I'm sincere. I promise you.
Okay, I'm not an idiot and I can feel the zing
between the two of you and it's palpable.
So whatever it is that's going on,
whatever's happening, I wanna make sure
that it's not just to conquer Jenna.
No offense, Jenna. It's just his M-O.
I'm not here to conquer anybody.
I think too highly of Jenna
to drag her in to a way of life
that, quite frankly, holds no interest for me anymore.
I know, I can't believe it myself.
Okay. Ahem.
Christmas Eve is only a few days away.
So you don't have a lot of time if you're gonna do this.
I know, which is why I'm gonna need your help.
If you agree, if you agree,
I think it'll be a good thing for you to get involved in
since you're Christmas plans have changed.
Are you not gonna visit your father?
[ sighs ] No.
Hmm.
All right, well, it's up to you, Jenna.
I think the party is a great idea.
And I too
would like a clean, fresh start.
As long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of your work.
Hey, love the poinsettias, Coop.
Yeah? Not too much?
I'm surprised Mia didn't have a coronary.
Wishful thinking.
All right, I need your help with something.
- Hmm? - Take a look at these.
Well, these are marvelous.
- Who's designs. - Their Jenna's.
- Jenna?! - Yeah.
I did not know she had such talent.
Yeah, apparently nobody did.
Listen, I want your help with something, all right?
I wanna get these made and I wanna display them at the Christmas party.
- I heard about your little soirée. - Yeah.
- It's a great idea. - Thank you.
So what do you think? Do you think you can get these to the next stage?
I'll do more than that.
I'll spearhead the project.
Love your genius. You're a genius.
You play with dolls, but you're a genius.
Listen to me. I wanna keep it a secret.
Understood.
Sure. Okay, yeah.
Sounds good. Bye.
- Hi. - Hey.
I got some ideas for the possible locations for the party.
I'm thinking museum hall, art gallery.
You have any specific locations that you wanna scout?
I got a list going and some other ideas that I wanna discuss with you...
over dinner.
A work dinner.
Or no dinner just work
someplace where there may or may not be food.
A work dinner is fine.
Yeah? Perfect.
Shall we?
It's not even 5:00.
It's close enough.
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: Fourth floor.
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: Third floor.
- Hi, Jenna, Cooper. - Hi.
I'm not interrupting anything, I hope.
- Oh, no. - No.
Just riding the elevator down.
'Cause it looked like you might be taking advantage of the mistletoe.
- [ laughs ] - What?
No. But, you know, mistletoe, Christmastime.
Even if we were, it wouldn't be a big deal.
- [ elevator bell dings ] - Robotic voice: First floor.
If a kiss happens in an elevator...
It stays in the elevator?
Not always. Have a pleasant day.
[ chuckles ]
Okay, I want a fresh start.
With everything.
Me, too.
I'm glad you said that. I-- I have to come clean about something.
Sebastian is not my boyfriend.
He's my best friend and neighbor.
Thank you for your honesty.
Still, the two of you together,
just-- it's really something.
Oh, no.
I, uh, I forgot we were supposed to decorate Christmas trees tonight.
Oh, we should call it a night, then, all right?
- Stick with your plans. - No. Why don't we do both?
I can call him. I'm sure it'll be fine.
We can all go get Christmas trees. We can even get you one.
You're not just being nice?
No, not just being nice.
Good, because I really wanna decorate a Christmas tree.
- [ laughs ] - But I don't have any ornaments.
Please, we can take care of that. That's easy.
- I think-- I think that'll fit. - Take it. Tag this one.
- Make that mine. - Right here.
Ooh, look. You guys should get twins trees.
Oh, my gosh. Matching trees. Selfie.
Selfie, matching trees.
- Look at us with our matching trees. Aah! - [ camera shutter clicks ]
[ camera shutter clicking ]
One, two, three.
All: One, two, three.
[ cheering ]
Good.
- Sebastian: ...three. - [ cheering ]
Not bad.
I love it.
Yeah, I'll send you an email.
Thank you, dear.
So what happened to you last night?
Good morning to you, too, Mia.
Quite chipper this morning.
[ laughs ] Nothing scandalous. You're so funny.
How's the party planning going? How's Cooper doing?
It's actually going really well.
We decided on Dickenson's for location
and we got Verde's to cater.
Wow. Verde's. That's impressive.
That's hard to get.
Has he been behaving himself?
Yeah. You know, he-- he is.
He actually seems like a pretty decent guy.
He is, but that's also part of his charm.
So be careful.
I will be careful. See ya.
What happened to you last night?
Christm--
Christmas spirit.
- Past, present, or future? - Present.
With the hopes that it might turn future.
How are Jenna's designs coming?
If you thought they looked fabulous as drawings,
wait until you see the reality.
Whoosh.
- Eh? - [ chuckles ]
Whoosh.
You're a genius.
Okay, okay. This is what I wanna do--
I wanna get these put up on mannequins.
I wanna set 'em up in the function room.
- Backlight them-- - Wait, Coop.
Don't worry about the lighting, okay?
Leave it to me. It's going to look amazing.
All right. All right.
What you're doing for Jenna
is wonderful.
Yeah, she's really wonderful.
I noticed you noticed that.
Everyone at Trend has noticed that you've noticed that.
Did you even try to get any sleep last night?
[ laughs ] Not really. No.
Yeah, me neither.
And it was totally worth it.
It kind of was, wasn't it?
Mia: Before we dismantle the Christmas tree set,
I was wondering if we could pull a few shots.
Maybe to throw up onto the blog?
- Yeah, Sure, Mia. - I'll help.
- No. - Sure.
Okay. You can help.
You know, it just dawned on me
that this is where
- Helmut shot you as Santa's sexy helper. - Yeah, that's right.
Oh, look at that.
Wait. Wait.
- What? - We can't do this.
- It's not right. - Oh, yes, it is. You know it is.
No. We're just caught up in the moment.
And when the novelty fades, the feeling will, too.
No, it won't.
How do you know?
I have never felt this way before.
Right, right. It's a new feeling. It'll fade.
- I can't believe this. - God, I couldn't stand to be a novelty.
- Especially not with you. - No, Jenna...
[ elevator bell dings ]
Jenna, are you okay?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine. It's nothing.
Do you wanna talk?
Uh, it's personal.
Is it about Cooper?
I just don't wanna get hurt by some heartbreaking--
In his defense, I do think he's earnest about making a change.
Maybe he's worth taking a chance on.
I'm not good at taking chances.
Neither was I when I had my heart broken.
My love.
And I'm so glad that I took a chance.
Everything's going to work out just fine.
Uh, yeah. I'm good--
I'm good, Helmut. Thank you.
- Whatever she told you, take her advice. - Take a chance.
[ knocking on door ]
- Hello, darling. - Oh, God.
Brittany, um, I'm not in the mood
to get into it with you, all right?
- I am exhausted. - Oh, you look it, darling.
I'm not in the mood to get into anything either.
It's just that tomorrow's my birthday
and I was really hoping to spend it with you.
I don't think that's such a good idea.
Please? As friends.
I'll go make you some coffee.
- Okay. - Oh, a Christmas tree.
That's new and different.
Brittany, I am really exhausted
and I just-- I don't really think--
Sweetheart...
I'll just let myself out, okay?
[ gasps ]
[ camera shutter clicks ]
[ camera shutter clicking ]
Okay.
So are you gonna tell me what happened at work today?
I mean, it's gotta be something to do with Cooper.
He's had your stomach in knots every since that kiss.
We kissed again.
Really?
Well, I'm not surprised.
I mean, you'd have be blind and deaf
not to realize he's crazy about you.
No, no. He's crazy about the challenge.
I'm a novelty to him.
[ cell phone vibrates ]
See?
Just like I said.
I told him he should go back to Britney
and less than an hour later, there he is.
I don't know. I mean, he looks pretty comatose in this picture.
I think it was staged.
No. I'll tell you it probably isn't.
And it doesn't matter because I could never trust a guy like Cooper.
There's always going to be some Brittany from his past
or Brittany from his future.
Jen,
I was with you guys for 12 hours yesterday.
I mean, you're not only selling yourself short,
you're selling him short.
Mia: So I just need you to look over this
before we go to press.
I just want to make sure that you pay attention to it.
Hey.
Will do.
Ahem. Cooper, in my office.
Now.
I told you that this would happen.
What? What?
- What-- what are you talking about? - Jenna.
- I crossed the line. - Yeah.
I told you to stay away from her. She's too good for you.
[ laughs ] Yeah.
But what if I wanna be good enough for her?
No. You stay away from Jenna.
You stick with someone like Brittany, okay?
She's more matched for you.
Hey, man.
Will you be joining us for dinner tonight, sir?
- Yeah. - It's my birthday and we're celebrating.
Oh, happy birthday.
We have some delightful specials this evening,
but not clearly as delightful
as the photo and the text that you sent Jenna last night.
- I'm sorry, what? - Oh, don't act so shocked.
You were right there in the photo with Brittany draped all over you.
Oh, I especially like the clever text
that went along with the photo.
I have it right here. It says, ahem,
"Although you may get to work with him,
I get to go home with him."
Well, congratulations on picking
such a stellar individual to date and go home with.
May I offer you a glass of Chateau Kevy Wevy?
- A word, honey? - Don't look at me like that.
You know I fight for what's mine.
I am not yours.
Yes, you are. You always come back to me.
It's your birthday. I felt strangely obligated.
But now, we are done. We're through.
You've said that we're through before, but you can't change.
You're drawn to me. We're too much alike.
You know, before that comment might not have bothered me,
but now, I find it insulting.
You're right, I did come back to you a couple of times in the past,
but I never found you so revolting as I do right now.
Good-bye, Brittany.
On behalf of Cooper Montgomery and myself,
I want to speak to the manager now!
[ Sebastian sighs ]
Man, I so got the smack down on Brittany tonight and it was awesome.
And now I'm totally done.
That explains this text I got from her.
I called Brittany out on the text that her and Cooper sent.
And Cooper seemed genuinely surprised about it,
so I think she might have staged the whole thing.
Wait a minute. What do you mean you're totally done?
I mean I'm fired. I'm done.
According to the management, it was because
they got complaints from both Cooper and Brittany.
But Cooper stormed out of there ahead of time,
so I don't really know how accurate that is.
I'm so sorry. This is all my fault.
Are you kidding? It's like the best thing that ever happened to me.
I feel totally awesome. Yeah!
You know, you really are the only guy in the world I can trust.
- Thank you. - Well, you're welcome.
But trust isn't about having someone you can rely on all the time.
Trust is about having someone that
no matter how bad things get
or how messed up everything gets,
you still wanna make things right with them.
Well, don't tell methat.
Tell Abby.
Figured I'd find you here.
What happened to you?
Jenna.
[ groans ] Damn it, Cooper.
I know.
I can't help it, and I don't know what to do about it.
You're sure that she's not just one of your flavor of the minutes?
I don't want a flavor of the minute.
I want a lifetime.
I wanted a lifetime with that guy Tyler. Remember him?
- What happened there? - Yeah, he left you.
And he was decent. He wasn't even a player.
I don't wanna be a player anymore.
I wanna change.
Okay, well, ahem.
I think that if you really want to make this work,
you gotta leave Trend for like a week.
Just give it a rest for a week.
'Cause Jenna's not on her game.
And when you're around, she can't focus.
And we need her to focus.
So whatever's going on between the two of you,
just take a break for a week.
There's something I wanna show you that I've been working on.
- Give me a second. - Okay.
All right. Take a look at these.
What do you think?
These are fabulous.
They're Jenna's.
I wanna display those at the Christmas party.
She's really talented.
Yeah. Yeah, she is.
I don't wanna lose her.
I can't either.
You really love her.
Pretty much from the moment I laid eyes on her in the elevator.
So what do you say? You'll help me win her back?
Will you at least have dinner with me?
I'm starving.
You're buying.
When was the last time we had dinner together?
- You and me? - Yeah.
I can't remember.
Well, I hope it's not like when we had dinner with Father
and he would just hurry up the dinner so that he could get back to work.
You're not Father.
- I have his work ethic. - True.
- He loved us, didn't he? - Best as he could.
My only real heartbreak when Tyler and I broke up
was that Father told me
he was disappointed he wasn't giving me away.
Cooper: What were you saying about haikus?
- Mia: Five, seven, five. - Is that what it is?
- Hi. - Waiter: Hi. How are you?
- Good, thank you. - What can I get you?
Cooper: Uh, where's Sebastian?
He got fired.
Why?
You're seriously asking?
You're the one that got him fired.
I did no such thing.
But your girlfriend told our manager--
Oh, oh.
Wait, first off,
she is not, was not, and never will be my girlfriend.
If Sebastian was fired, it was under false pretenses.
He didn't deserve to get fired.
If anything, he deserves a medal.
[ chuckles ] Uh, thank you very much.
All right. Bye.
Um, apparently I got my job back.
That's great! What happened?
I guess Cooper made things right.
That's great.
Oh, I gotta go back to that job now. [ groans ]
[ Jenna laughs ]
He's not coming in this week.
- Oh. - It's not you.
I told him to take some time off.
He's more heartbroken than you are.
Mia, I owe you an apology.
You had justifiable reasons for what you said
and I just ignored it and fell right in anyway.
And I'm sorry.
Oh, no. Don't be.
You were right. Cooper is a decent guy.
It looks like you and I are both going to be working over Christmas.
So why don't we go to the party together? We'll make a night of it.
We'll get our hair done. We'll get mani-pedis.
You'll see. We'll have some fun.
Thank you. It means a lot.
[ sighs ]
[ applause ]
All this applause is for you, Jenna. Not me.
This is because of your talent and your creativity.
We're gonna honor that there at Trend.
The whole year. You can count on that.
Oh, my gosh, Mia.
[ laughs ]
Dad?
Oh, my gosh, Dad.
So proud of you, Jen.
What are you doing here? What about your--
Never mind about them. Cooper called me, and I'm glad he did.
I'm so glad I could be here to celebrate your special evening with you.
[ laughs ] I'm so glad you're here, Dad.
Oh, my gosh. It means the world.
Jenna.
Pardon me, Papa. A few photos, yes?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
The beautiful creature with her beautiful creations.
Nice. Nice.
Next one.
Hello. Holy Moly.
- One of my favorites. - Boom. Perfection.
[ laughs ] Mia, this is crazy.
Loving it. Loving it. Loving it.
Nice. Nice. Nice. Loving it.
One more. With Mia. With Mia, yeah?
- Mia. - Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
I can't believe you did this for me.
- Thank you. - I had nothing to do with it.
It was actually all Cooper.
What?
He did it because he loves you.
And even though I don't want to admit it,
I actually believe him.
- Where is he? - He's waiting for you.
Where?
He said that he would be waiting
where you guys first met.
[ laughs ]
- Hey. - Hey.
Secret keeper. Hey, Abby.
[ buttons beeps ]
Robotic voice: First floor.
Cooper?
Cooper!
Cooper?
I-- I don't even know where to begin to thank you.
I mean,
Sebastian, my designs, my dad.
You're amazing.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
[ both laugh ]
You're welcome.
[ laughs ]
You know,
for a while there,
all I could think about was that amazing kiss.
But then something happened
and we started spending more time together.
And now all I can think about
is your smile.
And your laugh.
And the sound of your voice
when you say my name.
When I'm not with you, you're all I think about.
And when I am with you, all I can think about
is how lucky I am to be with you.
[ gasps ]
I asked your father here for his blessing.
I even offered to pay his way,
but to his credit, he refused.
[ both laugh ]
Oh, my.
Oh, my gosh.
I want to spend the rest of my life
proving my love to you.
I don't want a day to go by
that you doubt me.
I can't change my past.
But finding you in my present
makes me want you for my future.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
[ laughs ]
I love you, Cooper.
I love you.
- Excuse me. - Oh, so totally my fault.
Looks like you're having lid issues.
Not anymore.
I promise I'm not following you.
This elevator can be a little temperamental.
Robotic voice: First floor.
I'm game if you are.
