'Tis the Season for Love Page #5
You know,
I've got to be honest.
I never really thought you guys
were right for each other.
Really?
Yeah.
That probably had to do
with some unrequited
schoolboy crush, but...
On me?
But you were always
with Melinda.
No. Before Melinda.
[Laughs] But that was
a long, long time ago.
Yeah.
I'm a very different
person now.
No, you're not.
You're still
kind to others.
And you give your time
to people.
You're not even mad at Barry
for changing his mind
at the last minute.
You think that you need to find
some big, fancy career
to have greatness, but...
Greatness comes
in all shapes and sizes.
[Sighs] I just...
I wish you could see yourself
the way I see you.
[Chokes up] I do too.
And now I have upset you.
[Sighs] That was
not my intention.
I'm sorry.
Why don't I take you home?
[]
[Kids]:
in a one-horse open sleigh
hey!
So good, you guys!
You're going to be great
for the festival.
Okay,
time to pack up your stuff,
go to your homerooms.
[Bustling]
Bye.
Beth, it's time
for career day
in Mrs. Beesley's class.
Your husband
is on his way.
I thought
you'd want to know,
so you could see him
with the kids.
Thank you,
principal Hyde.
I'll head over there
right now.
[]
[Grunts]
[Sighs]
I always wake up
at the worst time.
[Sighs]
[Dean]:
Sorry I'm late.
Hi.
Thank you
for doing this.
[Quietly]
Are we okay?
I was going to call you
this morning.
I really didn't mean
to upset you last night.
No! No, we're fine.
Yeah?
Yeah, I know you were
just trying to lift me up.
I appreciate it...
More than you know.
'Cause I don't ever
want to see you sad.
Well, let's, uh, get
[Dean, chuckling] Okay.
Okay, everyone!
As you can see,
I rounded us up a little help.
Miss Beth Baker
of New York City
is going to be
the new director,
and I will be co-director.
Does that make this any--
a bit more appealing
to any of you?
-[Unenthused Mumbling]
-No?
Well, I have
a chocolate Santa
for each of you...
After we finish
the song, okay?
So let's start
with some scales.
[Plays the scales]
[Kids]:
la-la-la, la-la
That's good!
It's a start.
[Plays next scale]
[Kids]:
la-la-la, la-la
Very nice!
We can't bribe them
every day
with delicious
treats and candies.
We just haven't
We will. They're going
to love it, and soon.
How do you know?
Because I was them,
once upon a time.
We have to infuse them
with Christmas spirit
and the love
of theatre.
How do you suppose
that we do that?
We put on a show.
Mm-hmm.
[]
And then,
the elves...
Bring all the gifts
to fill Santa's sleigh--
which will go right here,
as soon
as it's done being built.
Hold it! This one's a--
this one's a train!
[Kids cheering]:
Yeah!And this one's
a doll!
[All giggling]
And as snow fell
on Christmas Eve,
the big guy himself,
Santa Claus,
comes to bring presents
to all the children
of the world.
[Dean]:
I forgot my line.What does Santa say?
[Kids]:
"Ho, ho, ho!"That's right!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
This is your part, Noah.
Mrs. Claus,
is my sleigh ready for flight?
It is, dear!
And the children of the world
are waiting.
Then I shall go!
And deliver presents
to all the wonderful little boys
and little girls
throughout
this beautiful land!
And remember, children...
[Kids]:
Don't be naughty!
Exactly! Ho, ho, ho!
[All cheering]
[All laughing]
It was all you.
No, you're the one
that won them over.
Yeah, but
it was your idea.
Let's be honest,
you guys...
It was all me.
I killed as that elf.
[Laughs]
You know,
after all these years,
it felt so good
to be back onstage.
I can't wait for Taylor to be
old enough to be in the pageant.
Just a few more years.
It's too bad you're
not going to be here
when it's her turn.
Well, this year
is going to be a success.
I knew we'd be a good team.
Oh, did you, now?
Yeah, we got
a full 15 minutes
of actual
rehearsal today.
That's more than I've had
the entire week
before you came on board.
We make a great team!
Um, I'm going to call home
and check on Taylor.
I'll come with you.
Okay.
So, question for you.
What are you doing
tomorrow night?
Hanging Christmas lights
in the foyer
with my mom.
That is so funny,
because I was
going to ask you
if you wanted
to hang lights
with me and your mom
tomorrow night.
What a strange,
weird coincidence.
So, what do you say?
Yeah, we could
use the manpower.
Why don't you
come over about 6:00?
I'll make some food.
Mm. Perfect.
I love food.
[Laughing]
[]
All right, I'm ready
Really, mom?
Well, it's been a while
since I had someone
to help me hang them
in here.
This was daddy's job.
He's been gone
a long time.
So, thank you, Dean.
It is my pleasure.
Oh, do you
remember that time
when daddy was hanging
the lights outside,
and he slid
down the roof?
[Beth, laughing] He slid
right into the snowbank!
I don't remember much,
I-- I was only eight
when he died,
but I do remember that.
You know, I think
my favorite
Christmastime memory
with him
was,
he would take me
ice skating--
[in unison]
...At Rinkorama.
And they were open
past midnight,
so I felt so grown-up.
But every year,
fast asleep,
into the house by 11:00.
Me too, sweetheart.
And now
we're making new memories.
Yes. Yes, we are.
Listen, I promise,
you have some good food
coming to you
as reward for all this.
No reward is necessary.
What kind of food
Thank you
for tonight.
It meant a lot to my mom
and to me.
It was
my pleasure.
But the night's
not over.
It's not?
There's something
I want to show you.
It's a surprise.
Okay...
[]
[Giggles nervously]
Where are we going?
You'll see.
Watch your step.
Okay. [Laughs]
What--
[shouts]
Okay, we're ready!
[]
[Beth gasps]
Rinkorama?
Rinkorama.
This is the important
phone call you had to make?
The owner
owes me a favor.
I saved his cat.
[Laughs]
Come on.
Let's get you
some skates!
Ahh, this brings
it all back!
I didn't realize
how much I missed this!
You know? All of it.
Thank you.
This is the most
incredible thing
anyone's ever
done for me.
I just want to do
whatever I can
to make you smile.
It's not that hard
around you.
You make me laugh.
I'm glad.
You're good people,
Dean Hubert.
-[She gasps]
-Oh!
[Both laugh]
You got me?
-Yeah.
-Okay.
[]
What?
I don't understand.
I'm not following.
[Chuckles]
Melinda.
Casswell.
I-- I don't understand
why she couldn't see
what she had with you.
I mean, guys like you,
they don't come around
very often.
Evidently they do for Melinda,
because I heard
[Laughs]
Well, that's her loss.
Because I just--
I think that you're
the most selfless,
caring person
I've ever met.
Where's all this
coming from, Beth?
I don't know... this.
