Feliz Navidad.

Got another one, Sam, 506...

coming straight

to Los Angeles. You want him?

Do you mind if I...

Sorry, I'm really sorry.

Sorry.

No, Gail, there's

four days left before the wedding.

I'm just going to get

some rest and...

hop on the first

flight in the morning.

Thanks for trying.

Yeah. I love you, too.

Okay. Bye.

Montana Moore.

Do you know what time it is?

It's ten o'clock in L.A.

it's one A.M. in Baltimore.

I know.

I'm sorry, I just thought

maybe you might want to...

you know...

talk.

About?

Come on, William.

How long have we

known each other? You can tell me.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about...

Montana.

Taylor.

I was thinking about you, too.

Oh, you got another call.

Taylor, don't do that.

And Merry Christmas to you, too.

Bye.

What happened to the Italian guy?

What are you working on?

Just trying to figure things out.

I like this little thing here.

Oh. Yeah?

Anybody in a holiday spirit?

Come on, it's open mike.

A cottage small is all I'm after

Not one that's spacious and wide.

A house that's filled...

What are you guys whispering about?

Hey, I'm singing right now.

Sam e people like the high life.

I like the low life.

Sounds corny and seedy,

but yes, indeed-y,

Give me the simple life

You know? Okay.

Bravo, bravo. That was amazing.

Quinton!

Montana.

Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

Oh, please. Don't be.

You were wonderful.

- Really?

- Well, no.

It's so good to see you.

You, too. I'm so pleased

you still remember me.

Of course I remember you. You

were on my route for over a year.

L.A. to New York.

Let me see if I can remember.

Columbia graduate,

top of your class, of course.

Hobbies-racquetball,

skiing and art.

I guess it's obvious how much I enjoyed

talking to you during our flights.

Luckily, there was always an empty

seat next to you so we could talk.

It wasn't luck.

I paid for both seats.

You didn't.

Of course.

Excuse me.

I have no idea

what you just said, but you don't...

Please. I insist.

Let's go have a drink.

Okay, if you insist.

So you've been a maid

of honor nine times.

I should call

the Guinness Book of World Records.

More like Ripley's

Believe It or Not.

It could have been ten, actually...

but my cousin called off her

third wedding the day before.

So it's really nine

with an asterisk.

Yeah, I know.

As you requested, Mr. Jamison.

Oh, Quinton, this is too much.

You can never have too much of a good

thing. Besides, it's on the house.

You work for the hotel?

I own the hotel.

This hotel?

Yes.

It's a lovely day for going nowhere

It's a lovely day for being in love

It's a lovely day

Feel like chasing the clouds away

To a perfect place I'm dreaming of

It's a lovely day for going nowhere

Have you ever imagined

what it would feel like...

to take off a year

and travel the world?

What woman hasn't?

But without the means or the time...

it remains just that,

a thought, a dream.

So if you were given the means...

would you find the time?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh.

You think this sunrise is beautiful?

Wait till you

see the sunrise in the Serengeti.

Or the view from the top

of the Eiffel Tower.

We could shop in Milan.

Cruise the Greek Isles

on a private yacht.

Wow, that... that sounds incredible.

Quinton, I'm so flattered.

I don't know what to say.

Say... "I accept your invitation."

You mean... your proposal?

If that's what you want

to call it, then yes.

What do you want me to call it?

I'm taking time off

to travel the world

and I'm asking you to join me.

Montana...

if you thought

I was talking about marriage

I've tried it, twice...

and all it did

was ruin two very good friendships.

Listen.

If marriage is what

you need, you should

find someone willing

to give you that.

But if passion and

adventure are what you want,

you'll never want it again.

I'm passing through D.C.

in a couple of days

on my way to Rome, then London...

and then to Greece.

I'll have my assistant book you

a ticket to all three places,

just in case.

Okay.

If you're going to be in D.C...

I'd really like you to come

to my sister's rehearsal dinner.

If won't be anything fancy,

like you're used to, but...

we could talk about it then.

Okay.

Now you get some rest

and think about it. Yes?

Okay.

It's been a great night.

Now I realize why it's

so hard to find the perfect guy.

Maybe he just doesn't exist.

From the first time we met

Saw a glow I can't forget

Felt the sun rise and set

In your eyes

I knew that I wanted

You near me

Is it love I feel?

Tell me, is it real?

Is it love, please tell me

Now

What you doing?

About to

get ready for the rehearsal dinner.

It's your mailman.

From your mailbox.

You didn't have to do that.

And that's from me.

Early Christmas gift.

Thanks.

It'll help get your

mother off your back.

That's no longer a problem.

Tonight at Sheree's

rehearsal dinner,

after my sister

introduces her soon-to-be husband...

I'll make an

introduction of my own.

What's so funny?

You're turning into your mother.

No. I'm just realizing that maybe

fairy tales don't come true.

We weren't all lucky enough

to have parents like you...

that ate dinner every night

together for 40 years.

I never said my

parents were perfect.

They went through

it just like any other couple.

But when they took those

vows, they meant it.

My mom loved my dad.

And my dad loved her back.

Well, my mom loved my dad.

And then she loved another man.

And another man and another man.

People get married and divorced.

That's just what people do.

You spent your life being your own

woman. Why change now?

Who said I wouldn't be my own woman?

I just would really like to

be somebody else's, too.

Somebody's? Or anybody's?

You know what? William...

why don't you save your

really great relationship advice

for someone

who really needs it? Like Taylor...

when she's kissing some

Italian dude at 30,000 feet.

Wow.

That's my cue.

Merry Christmas, Mo.

I thought you should know!

Thank you, I know.

William?

I'm sorry.

Montana, it's your mother.

I have told everybody

about your announcement...

so don't let me down!

Good evening.

As you all know,

my youngest daughter...

is marrying a

handsome young man...

from Rhoda Island.

Rocky Mountains.

What are you doing here?

Same as you, just being nosy.

This is to welcome

him to the family.

And give him a last

chance to back out.

But before I bring you

my youngest daughter...

I'd like to present my oldest...

who has an announcement

that is lovely...

and long overdue.

I give you Montana!

Montana, come up.

Come up here.

So, um...

...I have an announcement..

...as I am sure you are all aware.

The tricky thing about

announcements is...

you need to have

something to announce...

in order for it to

be an announcement.

What is she doing?

I don't know.

So, here it is.

Friends... family...

fellow Americans.

Langston.

Langston?

Montana, I was flipping
