'Tis the Season for Love Page #6
Tonight. You.
You make everything
feel right.
Well, it's not
really me.
It's Rinkorama...
And Christmas, the ice--
stop. No. It's you.
It doesn't
matter what was
or what might
have been.
This feels right.
You feel right.
Dean...
[]
[Grunts]
[]
Next, to talk about his career,
is the husband
of our very own
Kern park high school
drama teacher.
[]
[Gasps]
[Laughs]
Dean.
[Carolers]:
...Angels sing
glory to the newborn king
peace on earth
and mercy mild
god and sinners...
Come on, Beth!
Sing with us.
Oh, I can't.
No, I would ruin it.
Are you kidding?
We can always use
a real Broadway star
in the chorus.
Hark the herald
angels sing
glory to the new born king
peace on earth
and mercy mild
god and...
Ahem.
Oh! Hello there.
And to what do I owe
this pleasure?
And that smile?
I came to give this
back to you.
Oh, no,
you keep it.
No. I couldn't possibly.
It's too special.
It showed me a lot,
and I'm good.
What are you talking about,
"special?"
I found it
in a thrift store.
I liked
what it represented,
and so I gave it to you.
So, this didn't...
You had all
the answers, Beth.
And it's cute, no?
It's cute.
I think it'll look
good on you.
Thank you.
[]
Take a step, snap, step.
Very good! But where
are the rest of my elves?
Uh, Greta?
Greta, come on.
Let's go.
All right, and so we dance
and we dance and we dance,
and then
Did you
forget your line?
[Gently] Okay. Sorry.
Hey, Dean, want to help me
with this ladder?
Yeah.
I actually wanted
to talk to you anyway.
[Beth]:
Step,snap, step... good.
[Dean]:
And it justhappened last night.
At Rinkorama,
of all places,
but I wanted you
to hear it from me.
You know, because
of all the history.
That's ancient history.
I know,
but if you've got
a problem with it,
it ends here.
No, really, Dean,
I'm fine with it.
I'm happy for you guys.
[Sighs] I just...
What's up?
Has she mentioned
anything about
staying in Kern
after Christmas?
Well, we haven't really
gotten that far, you know.
It was only one kiss.
Right. But just
be cautious.
Beth has big dreams
and a life in New York,
and you live here.
But hey, I mean, you're
not terrible-looking,
a worse wrestler
than me, but...
Who knows?
Maybe, uh... maybe she'll
stick around this time.
Yeah, we'll just see
where it goes.
That's good.
[]
Okay, so now that
we have our costumes on,
let's do this for real.
You can do this,
Frances.
You know,
I was nervous
when I started
performing.
You were?
[Laughs] Terrified.
But I did it
and it was so much fun.
And I still get nervous
when I go onstage,
but it's the good
kind of nervous.
It's an excited nervous.
Okay, I'll try to be
the good kind of nervous.
[Chuckles] Yeah!
That's my Mrs. Claus.
Should we do it
together? Okay.
Ready?
[Together]
Here comes the man--
the man with the plan!
Here comes...
Santa!
That's your cue!
[Beth, chuckling] Well,
we're gonna need a seamstress.
All right, guys.
I think we're done for today.
Who wants a snack?
[Kids all talking at once]
Bye.
I thought I'd drop by
just to see how things
were going.
You're wonderful
with them.
You think so?
Not to sound like
a broken record,
but I still haven't
filled that part-time
drama teacher job.
Just let that simmer
for a little.
Okay. Thank you.
You know, that's not
a terrible idea.
Yeah, well,
you know what they say.
Those who can't do...
Teach.
And those who can do,
teach incredibly well.
[Laughs]
Just let me just get through
this performance first.
[]
[Beth]:
Yeah, Dean's great.I think
you'll really like him.
You sound like a new person.
I feel like a new person!
Although, at the same time...
I feel like myself again.
So you're glad
I am.
Thank you for my present.
[Inhales deeply]
It's festive and fun here,
and I feel like
I'm getting involved.
Stress-free.
Well, I am back
at the apartment.
My dad brought
his new girlfriend
to the Hamptons,
and she's perfectly terrible.
I got on the first Jitney
back to NYC.
Well, now you're going to be
alone for Christmas.
Nah. It's fine. I'm good.
A few people
from my last show are here,
so we're going
to go get Christmas dim sum.
You could come here
for Christmas.
Sounds like
you're going to be pretty busy
for the next four days.
I can't intrude on that.
But I'll see you
when you get back,
and you can give me
all the gory details.
When I get back...
[Inhales sharply]
Yeah, what happens
with this Dean guy
when you come back
to New York?
[]
[Shirley]:
I'm sureThose kids are
doing a great job.
I'm just teaching them
the box-step.
And I think they're going
to pull it off in time.
It's five days
till Christmas.
If anyone can do it,
you can.
Here you go,
and don't forget to come back.
Valentine's day
is just a few months away.
Okay...
What?
Do you think
I'd make a good mother?
Where did that
come from?
You were
an exceptional mother.
Thanks, honey.
It was just you and me
for all those years
after daddy died...
It wasn't always easy,
but I did the best
that I could.
You were so selfless.
You lifted me up,
you gave me everything.
That's what a mother does.
She nurtures her baby
so that she can feel free
to fly.
I just don't know
if I would have it in me.
Oh, of course
you do.
I mean...
To stay, have a family,
live this life.
Are you thinking about staying?
I'm...
Thinking about
all kinds of things
that I never considered before.
Is this because of Dean?
It's Dean...
It's the kids.
I feel like something is opened
inside of me.
I feel...
Good.
I never imagined
this life for myself.
Look, Bethy...
Kern may be small,
and it may be simple,
but I get to walk out
my front door,
and I know everyone.
And when something bad
happens,
or something good,
a hundred people
show up at my front door
with either condolences
or congratulations.
I have...
More love than I know
what to do with.
This is home.
But that's just it--
I don't know where "home" is.
How do you know?
How do you really, truly know
when it's right?
You know
that it is.
And your head shuts up.
[Laughs]
So I was in the fitting
with Frances,
and she looked at me,
and she said,
"you're right,
it's the good kind
of nervous."
I love that kid.
You're really quiet.
Just thinking.
Yeah?
About anything specific?
About this. Us.
Do you want to share
any particulars?
[Sets his drink down]
[Sighs deeply]
I really like you, Beth.
A lot.
I can't help but wonder
if this is just
some sort of holiday thing
that's going to end
with the new year.
What do you think?
I am trying
not to think so much.
I've also been thinking
about what
principal Hyde said.
There's a life
and a job for you here...
