A Nanny for Christmas Page #8

dessert.

But we haven't finished breakfast.

It's upside-down day.

You do everything backwards.

So that's it?

You're just gonna pack up

and run back to Ohio?

I put the house up for sale.

Now that I'm jobless,

I can't afford to pay the mortgage.

You were never a quitter.

I finally meet a guy

that I really care about

and now he hates me.

You're right.

I should have never lied to Justin.

I ruined everything.

I'm going home.

Hello?

- It's me, Jackie.

- Jackie, is everything okay?

Everything's fine, but Mother told me to

give you a very important message.

She did, huh?

She wants you to come to

our Christmas party tonight.

Christmas party?

I don't know, I-

I'm leaving town.

Please. She really really

wants to see you there.

I'll see what I can do.

Great. See you there.

Are you crazy?

This is a chance to redeem yourself.

I can't go to that thing.

- You're afraid.

- Don't be silly.

What's that classic saying

you always preach to everybody?

"It's okay to be afraid

as long as your courage

outweighs your fear. "

Samantha obviously

wants to make amends.

You have to go.

I can't face them.

It's embarrassing.

Justin will be there.

And that's exactly why

I definitely can't go.

Everybody makes mistakes.

All you have to do is apologize.

If it's from the heart,

he'll forgive you.

I can't do it.

Fine.

Merry Christmas.

A day of beauty on me.

I'm gonna miss you, Tina.

Make sure you dress warm.

It's freezing in Ohio.

- You need help?

- Yeah.

Samantha:

Oh my goodness, we've got elves.

We've got a lot of elves

in our house.

- Hi, beautiful.

- Hi, Mama.

Look at all of you.

Oh my goodness,

so nice to finally meet you.

- You have a beautiful home.

- Oh, thank you so much.

- You remember Hannah?

- Hi, sweetheart.

- Hello.

- How are you?

Ho ho ho.

Pardon me.

Hi, guys.

You need cookies.

Somebody get them some cookies.

Hey, merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Justin.

So am I imagining this,

or is Samantha Ryland

being festive?

Uh, you're imagining it.

I thought so.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for having me.

Listen, I- I know

I don't say it very often,

but I'm really proud of you.

It means- it means a lot,

especially coming from you.

Thanks for being here.

Ah, have you met my neighbors,

the Edelsteins?

Hi. Hi, darling, how are you?

- Merry Christmas.

- This is my right-hand man.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

- Great recommendation.

- Nice to meet you.

- Aren't these great decorations?

- Thank you so much.

Pardon me,

the doorbell's ringing.

Justin:

So is she a good neighbor?

Hey, Samantha.

Uh, Ally.

What are you doing here?

You invited me.

Jackie.

There's been a mistake.

But before I leave,

I'd really like to take

this chance to apologize.

Um, look, Ally...

you broke the rules

of my house.

And you broke the rules

of my office.

And then on top of all that,

you lied about it.

The truth is that

you saved my company.

Thank you.

I appreciate that.

It's Christmas.

Come on in.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Justin, words can't...

describe how sorry I am

for deceiving you.

It started as a little white lie

and then

it spiraled out of control.

And I've learned that there's

no such thing as a little white lie.

Did you really think that I would care

if you were a nanny?

Yes, I did.

You were a big-shot executive.

I thought you wanted more.

All I ever wanted was you.

It didn't matter what you were.

Not to mention the fact that I babysat

my nieces till I was 25.

- It's what paid my way through college.

- No you didn't.

I didn't. I'm lying.

Look there- now we're even.

Can we start over?

I'm Ally Leeds,

currently unemployed.

And I'm Justin Larose.

It's a pleasure.

Look where you're standing!

I wonder who put that there.

Daddy! Daddy!

- Ha ha ha! Sweetie!

- Daddy!

Hey, sweetie. Hi.

- I missed you.

- I missed you.

What are you doing home?

I didn't think you were coming.

Well, I wasn't, but then

somebody sent me that email

about how you and the kids couldn't

stand to have Christmas without me.

What email?

You know what I learned

while I was gone?

That family is more important than

any company or anything else.

We're so happy to

have you back.

Oh, and you know what?

I don't know,

but Santa must have left this outside.

Let's take a look.

- Oh, a puppy!

- Oh!

You must be Ally Leeds.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Ryland.

Oh please, call me Carl.

Great job with Donner.

You are a hero

in the New York office.

Thank you. Thank you.

So you threw a party, huh?

- It just didn't feel like Christmas.

- Yeah?

And now it does?

Jonas:

What should we name him?

I've made a decision that I want

to discuss with the two of you.

I'm going to take

a year sabbatical.

I want to spend more time

with my family.

Ally, you opened my eyes to

the kind of mother that I was

and helped me realize

the kind of mother I want to be.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Now I'm not comfortable leaving

the agency shorthanded.

And although I once said

that you weren't boardroom material,

I was wrong.

So since Justin will be

taking over for me-

I am?

- I need somebody to

fill in his position.

I'd be honored if you'd accept.

I've already talked to Donner about it.

He thinks it's a great idea.

What about your rule about-

I've realized some rules

are meant to be broken.

Thank you.

And I accept.

So skedaddle.

Merry Christmas.
