New Year's Eve Page #10

Happy New Year.

Kitchen still open?

Mm-hm.

Yep.

For dessert it is.

- Ha-ha.

- We got Jell-O. We got cupcakes, truffles.

Mm.

So you talked Mrs. Ahern

into hiring me tonight, huh?

Well, I knew you had a lot of other offers

and I wanted you to take this one.

I really wanted to talk to you.

Well, I'm glad you did.

I'm glad we had a chance to talk.

I'm canceling the tour.

Why?

Because of you.

I'm never gonna leave you again. Ever.

The best decision I made

was asking you to marry me...

...and the worst decision I made

was sprinting.

I plan to make it up to you

as long as it takes.

Well...

...you do realize that it could be an awfully

long time before I choose to forgive you.

I mean, we could be old and gray

before I choose to forgive you.

I'll wait.

It could be years of make-up sex

before I choose to forgive you.

I'll suffer.

It's almost midnight.

You wanna go to a party?

Let's do it! Please welcome

Mayor Bloomberg, ladies and gentlemen!

Nice to see you, sir.

- Happy New Year.

- Thank you. Shall we?

I think it's time. Let's drop the ball.

What do you say?

Here we go!

All right, New York City! Are you ready?!

One minute to go.

Let's start the countdown

when we hit 10.

And here comes the ball.

Uh-huh.

There it goes.

Dad, aren't you gonna be cold?

No, no. There's nothing

like New York air.

Look, there it goes.

I made so many mistakes.

You weren't one of them.

Okay, folks, let's start the countdown.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Happy New Year!

Wait.

If you're here, who's at Times Square?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And auld fang syne?

And surely you will buy your cup

And surely I'll buy mine

And we'll take a cup of kindness yet

- You seen Hailey anywhere?

- I haven't.

I was looking for her and I haven't-- Mm.

For auld fang syne

We two have run about the slopes

And picked the daisies fine

But we've wandered many a weary foot

Since auld fang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld fang syne

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld fang syne

They're calling me now. We have to go.

But I love you so much.

I think about you all the time.

I love you.

I love you so much.

We two have paddled in the stream

From morning sun till night

But the seas between us broad have roared

From auld fang syne

For auld fang syne

What the hell are you doing?

I'm twice your age!

Final resolution.

Midnight kiss on New Year's Eve.

Boom! Check it off.

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld fang syne

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

- I'm fine, Mom.

- You're sure?

I'm sure.

You have no idea how worried I was.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

- Hailey.

- Hi, Piper.

- Where have you been?

- You totally freaked us all out.

We got passes to the afterparty

at the Hard Rock.

And Piper's mom, who's been following

us all night, is gonna take us all home.

Can I go, Mom? Please, please, please.

- Go. Go. Have fun.

- Really?

- Yes. Have fun. Yes, really.

- For real? Thank you.

- Do you wanna come with us?

- No.

- I'll pass. I'm good.

- Are you sure?

You should go to your party.

I love you, Mom. Really.

I love you too.

But you're still grounded.

Yeah, I figured.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye.

Happy New Year, bro. Take care.

All right. Talk to you later, man.

Text me when you get home

that you got home all right.

Bye! Happy New Year!

- Hey, Kim, you came for the party.

- Oh, no, I'm just picking something up.

Hey. You made it.

Whatever. You know,

I saw you kissing Lily Bowman.

Busted.

Can we talk somewhere else?

Come here.

Look, I'm--

Hello.

I'm telling you the truth. She grabbed me

and she totally stole it from me.

Oh, she stole it. Oh, okay, yeah.

That makes just perfect sense.

Well, look, I was just watching

the ball drop and then--

Whoa.

Aw...

Who is that?!

Would you like to see what we do

on New Year's Eve?

Welcome to the world.

- Hi.

- Hey.

So you had your baby.

Congratulations.

- Boy or a girl?

- A boy.

A boy.

- You?

- Girl. Third one.

Exactly at 12:
04.

And yours was when?

12:
05.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

12:
05 it is, then.

- Hey. Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

It's a very good job.

They asked us back for next year.

You showed up.

You showed up.

You look beautiful.

Well, I had a year to get ready.

Sometimes it feels like there are so

many things in this world we can't control:

Earthquakes, floods, reality shows.

But it's important to remember

the things that we can...

...like forgiveness, second chances,

fresh starts.

Because the one thing that turns the world

from a lonely place to a beautiful place...

...is love.

Love in any of its forms.

Love gives us hope.

Hope for the new year.

That's New Year's Eve to me:

Hope...

...and a great party.

Don't just dump them!

It should be magical!

Take one.

I've been plotting that slap for years.

How I would just walk up to you

out of the blue... Sh*t.

I wouldn't want you to be my doctor.

You think we should...

You think we should move him

to hospice?

- Why did you do that to me?

- It's okay, Nurse Aimee.

- Good one.

- Yeah, good one.

Cut, cut, cut.

L... up. I didn't tell her

in the middle of her sentence.

Go to mark.

Oh, hey. Hold the elevator.

Baby, things were just heating up!

Oh. Mrs. Baxter.

I mean, Mrs.--

What's your name? Ms. Withers.

It's midnight. We have to do something

tonight. Get over yourself. Shi-- Uh-uh.

Ooh. Sorry, you're a little late.

He was in this morning.

He didn't leave orders, and--

And I may not allow him

in my unit anymore.

Something coming.

Oh, something coming.

Oh.

Oh, what do we have here?

- I think we have twins.

- Oh, my God!

Oh, you are a goddess.

That is a wrap!
