A Nanny for Christmas Page #5

is my favorite memory.

Mine's ice skating.

My family and I- we used to all go

down to the pond and ice skate.

- Really? Me too.

- Really?

Yeah.

Oh, wait.

Now this- this is the one-

tall dark and handsome,

just like you.

Sold.

Now what?

I, um, wanted to

tell you at dinner

but I couldn't get up the nerve...

You look beautiful tonight.

Thank you.

Oh oh!

A fir tree-!

- Let's go.

- What about your tree?

- We'll get one tomorrow.

- Okay.

Whoa whoa whoa

ah ah ah!

Oh!

Every year at the pond, huh?

I think it's these skates.

They're too tight or something.

Sure.

Here, let me help you.

What a cute couple.

Follow my lead.

If I could just take

a few moments of your time

to give you samples

of one of the most elegant chocolates

- in the entire world.

- Justin:
Thanks.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Now how about a picture

to capture the moment?

What- what is it that

you do here exactly?

Product placement.

It's part of the promotion.

Then I'll email you the picture

of this moment being captured,

and you'll be able to remember

Danny Donner Chocolates.

Okay.

Wait, you're gonna-

you're gonna take it with your cell phone?

Well, the batteries died

on my digital,

- so I'm just gonna use this, okay?

- Okay.

Now get together, closer.

- Say "Danny Donner. "

- Both:
Danny Donner.

Perfect. Okay.

- Thanks, guys.

- All right.

Wait, she didn't even get

our email address.

Oh. Oh, she probably forgot.

Huh.

Strange- this little chocolate

is keeping me away

from going home this year.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Oh.

- Sorry.

- That's all right.

Hello?

- Hi, Miss Leeds.

- Ally:
Yeah, uh...

Miss Leeds, it's Jackie.

Mother just wanted us to tell you

that she has a meeting and she wants

you to come an hour early tomorrow.

Uh, I have an 11:00 open.

She wants us to spend the extra

hour doing yoga poses,

but we'll really play freeze tag, right?

I think I can

accommodate that.

Okay. Bye.

- Get off.

- Oh!

- Good?

- Good.

Now where were we?

- Sorry.

- Go ahead.

Hello?

Hey, Samantha.

Yeah, I'm working on

the pitch right now.

Uh-huh.

All right, you got it.

I'll be there.

I gotta go. She said that Donner wants

to make a decision by the 24th

and she called

an early-morning meeting.

I understand, you're busy.

- We should-

- We should do this again.

- You go ahead.

- No no no, you go.

- You were about to ask me out again.

- I was not.

You were-

it sounded like it.

- I'll race you to the exit.

- All right.

Wait, that's not fair.

Tina:
It's funny.

In all the years I've known you,

you've never had

a live Christmas tree.

What happened to,

"I don't have time for a real tree"?

I don't know.

I was just in the mood.

Right.

Sounds like someone's starting

to fall for Mr. Executive.

Oh, come on.

Are you serious?

I mean, he's kind of cute

and funny.

Listen to yourself.

You're totally falling

for this guy.

Maybe. I mean,

we just connect on so many levels,

like personally

and professionally.

He doesn't know you're a nanny.

- Not exactly.

- What do you mean, "not exactly"?

Well, I maybe kind of

told him that I was a consultant

working with Samantha.

You can't lie to this guy,

especially if you like him.

It's not a lie.

I mean technically I'm her consultant.

No, technically you're her nanny.

And you're gonna have to

tell him eventually.

Eventually.

He's a high-level exec.

I don't know how he'd take it.

He should like you for who you are,

not for what your job is.

You know what?

You're absolutely right.

- So you're gonna tell him?

- Eventually.

It would just be easier

if I had my old job back

or something like it.

Right?

Oh, Ally.

Hi. Come in.

I've got your check here.

Ah, here we go.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I really appreciate everything

that you've been doing.

It's allowed me more time

to focus on my work.

And it's been important 'cause

things have been tough lately.

You know, it's the end of the year

and I've got this big account

I'm trying to close.

Actually that's what

I wanted to talk to you about.

What's that?

If there was a possibility of working

on your advertising team.

What's your interest?

I graduated summa cum laude

from Cornell; I have 10 years' experience;

and I really feel like I would have

something to offer

on your advertising front.

If you would just give me a chance,

- I- I am sure that I-

- Look, Ally,

I've got one rule

I've never broken:

I don't mix my business life

and my personal life, ever.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

Let me offer a little advice:

the advertising business is crazy.

You don't want to do that.

Stick with nannying.

You're good at it.

Great.

Speaking of which, I need

some OT from you on Friday night.

It's the annual agency

Christmas party and-

and Carl and I have always tried

to be inclusive

when it comes to families.

So it would be a tremendous help to me

if you could bring the children

and look after them, because

I'm going to be busy that night.

Besides, the whole company's

going to be there.

- The whole company?

- Mm-hmm.

We'll see you in the morning.

All message playback.

Hello, this is Gerard Muldooney

from Exact Mortgage.

This is a courtesy call

to Ally Leeds

to let you know that

your mortgage-

Hey, Ally, it's Justin.

You know, you ran off so quick today,

I was wondering, maybe we could

grab a cup of coffee in the morning

and continue the conversation?

Ally:
What's your favorite

Christmas story?

Um, "The Fir Tree. "

Have you heard of it?

"Out in the woods stood

a nice little fir tree. "

"The place he had was

a very good one. "

- You too?

- Yeah.

Our dad used to read it to us

every Christmas Eve

by the fireplace

in our flannel pajamas.

It's one of the first books I remember

reading as a little girl.

"The Fir Tree"

by Hans Christian Andersen.

I just- I never met

anyone like you.

And I don't understand

how you could be so...

perfect.

Justin, I've been

meaning to tell you something.

I haven't been

completely honest with you.

You've been using me for my witty

charm and dashing good looks.

- Just your dashing good looks.

- I know, I know.

Oh, hold on one second.

Samantha.

- Hello.

- Donner's coming.

- Yeah yeah, okay.

- I really need the pitch.

- Yeah.

- Can you get here?

I'll be right there.

You're never gonna believe this:

she just called an emergency meeting.

I gotta go into the office.

Anything I can do to help

with the big Donner pitch?

Not unless you can weave some magic

and come up with a great pitch.

I've been known to

cast a few spells.

Really? Interesting.

I may have to take you up on that.

- Talk to you later?

- You bet.

- Hi, Samantha.

- Ally, I need you to come over now.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Ally:
Hey, Jackie? Jonas?

It's just me, Ally.

Man on TV:

My merry band of reindeer

are sending you

right to the naughty list.

- Hello?

- Ally.

Look, my associate Justin Larose is

coming by the house to pick up a file.
