New Year's Eve Page #9

Keep them busy. Try doing the wave.

If Jensen doesn't show up,

you're gonna sing.

- Jensen's here.

- Where?

- He's not happy.

- Oh. Why would he be?

Mr. Jensen, hi.

What seems to be the problem?

Yeah, I saw your speech on TV today.

I'm Claire Morgan.

I'm the one that hired you.

Hi. Boy meets girl...

- ...boy screws up, boy loses girl.

- Oh.

Um... ls there any way I can help you?

I don't think so.

Well, it is New Year's Eve.

Anything's possible.

Not this time.

I think I really screwed it up.

I don't think I deserve a second chance.

You know what that feels like?

Actually, I do.

I have the same situation

going on right now.

Um...

Maybe all this is too much for her, huh?

I don't know. Maybe...

Maybe all she wants is to not have to

share you with the rest of the world.

Sounds familiar.

- We girls, we have a handbook.

- Miss Morgan.

Um... Well, I need to go fix the ball,

and you need to fix what you broke too.

But will you please sing first?

Please.

And don't forget, second chances,

they don't expire until midnight.

Okay?

Thanks.

You rock.

- Ha-ha.

- I'm a big fan.

Thank you.

Goodbye, 2011!

New Year's wave!

Hi. I am Sam Ahern, Jr.

I won't give a long speech.

Socrates gave long speeches

and his friends killed him.

In the past, my father would

always kick things off...

...and then turn it over

to the vice presidents...

...but as you know,

Dad's not with us anymore.

I think that anybody that knew him

knows that he was a great man.

And we're thinking

about you tonight, Pops.

He always ended with a quote.

He would say, "What would you do today

if you knew you would not fail?"

And then he'd say,

Now go out and do it."

You know where he got that from?

My mother, Rose Ahern.

All right, let me finish with this.

As we move forward into this new year...

...let's try to remember that

sometimes it's okay...

...to listen to your heart.

I know it's risky.

Take that leap of faith.

Happy New Year, everybody.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

All right, let's do this.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jensen!

Come here! Why don't you have one on?

Come on!

I can't turn you loose now

If I do I'm gonna lose my life

I'm never turning you loose now

If I do I'm gonna lose my mind

I can't turn you loose to nobody

Cause I love you baby

Yes, I do now

Hip-shaking mama, I told ya

Oh, honey, I'm in love with you now

It's okay. They got it.

I wanna give you everything

That you want

Gotta, gotta, gotta

Keep on lovin', baby

Never gonna turn you loose

I gotta keep on

Huh!

After.

Okay, almost. One more test.

One more test, my darling. Okay.

I get this wire here.

Uh...

I got it!

I put new one inside! Okay, baby!

- Mwah!

- Does it work?

Flip switch!

I'm flipping. I'm flipping up.

It's working.

It's going up. It's going up!

Hang on, Kominsky!

Tell Miss Morgan it's working.

He's got it!

Wait, wait! get me down first!

First, down!

Coming down! Flipping down!

Way to go, buddy!

Mr. Kominsky, tell us, how does it feel?

Well, it feels okay.

Everyone talking at me.

Wade said the mayor called.

- He wants you to come down there.

- Now?

He thought what you said

a lot of us needed to hear.

Tell Mayor Bloomberg I'd love to.

But I have another pressing matter

that needs attending.

- Mr. Kominsky?

- Yes.

As a reward for 37 years of service...

...before being temporarily

relieved of your duties...

...I officially hereby leave you in charge.

What took so long?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Watch him like a hawk.

You got it. Let me find Nolan

to give you a lift, though.

Officer Nolan's right here.

Hi.

Hi, Tanya.

Go see your daddy.

Hey, baby.

Hi, Daddy.

My little rug rats

Heard you need a lift.

No. In a car.

Yeah, we have cars too.

Happy New Year, Brendan.

Happy New Year, Claire.

Ah... Alyssa, thank you.

Your favorite, Disaronno and cranberry.

Um... I'm off at 1.

- I will keep that in mind.

- Okay.

Hey, Sam.

- Wendy! How are you?

- Great.

- You look fantastic.

- Thanks.

Sam?

- Patty.

- I'd love to be the woman behind you.

And I'd love to be in front.

Oh. I'm a Sam-wich.

- How's everything? Okay?

- It was wonderful.

- It was delicious.

- Thank you.

I have to say that he was

absolutely right.

The food is sublime.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

That's great to hear.

Who was right?

Jensen. He told us that we had to hire you

or he wouldn't sing tonight.

Ah.

I'm gonna recommend you to everyone

I know, and, honey, I know a lot of people.

Thank you.

I'll give you my new condo number

and my new cell.

You ran out on us last New Year's.

Do you remember that?

Here you go.

Fun.

You know what? I'm sorry.

I can't do it. I gotta go.

I'm sorry.

Make a hole, people!

Stan.

It's just me, Aimee.

Please go.

I don't want you to see it happen.

No, I'm not gonna leave you alone.

He's not alone.

Hi, Daddy.

Hey. Kiddo.

Hey, kid.

Did we miss it?

Ball hasn't dropped yet.

You're really here.

Yeah.

Well, my shift is up.

- Have a happy New Year, Aimee.

- Thank you.

- How about some holiday cake?

- Nope. Don't need it.

Dessert is now being served.

Chocolate truffles.

This is working!

- I'm gonna grab some more parachutes.

- Okay. We'll keep throwing.

Throw it at the pretty ones!

I really would like to speak with you

about Miss Pearlman.

She's not doing too well today.

She has a high fever, but he didn't

really leave any more orders.

So we really would like you to come in

and take a look at her.

Thank you, bye.

- So, what do you think?

- Wow.

Somebody's gonna have

a happy New Year.

I sure hope so.

- Ha-ha.

- Aimee, Aimee!

Come here. Quick, quick.

- Mr. Harris isn't in his bed.

- I know.

- So should I look for him?

- No. It's okay.

You look hot.

I can do this.

I can do this.

Hang in there, babydoll.

We made it on time.

- It's our thing.

- Yeah.

You want me to put you

on my shoulders?

Wowee-wow.

Where in the world is

the rest of that dress?

New Year's is all about the dress.

You said that we could change

before dessert.

There's nothing wrong

in show a little something.

Trust me, but there's nothing little

about those.

- What, did one fell off?

- No, no. They didn't fall off.

They are still there.

You look great. Perfect, in fact.

You mind taking these

parachutes upstairs?

- Okay.

- Thank you.

You're going out there

to celebrate with us?

No. I'll just hang here.

No, it's fine. I'm good.

Okay, I take the parachutes.

Thank you.

Dr. Steam, to the Ira Keenan lounge.

Hi.

What do you think?

Oh, I love it, I love it.

You look so beautiful

I think I need to be there.

Ha-ha. I think I wish you were.

Hi, baby.

How've you been?

I'm okay.

The guys are all watching

Times Square on TV right now.

I tell them I'm better off.

I'm watching you.

I miss you so much.

I miss you too, baby.

I do.

But you know what?

This is gonna be a great new year...

...because you're coming home

really soon.

I hope so.

You are.

Yeah. Happy New Year.
