One Winter Weekend Page #3

---

How else would we know

whose wine is whose?

Hmm, makes you wonder how

people kept track of their wine

for thousands of years

before they were around.

Okay.

There's a really

nice deck out front.

Maybe we should--

Yes, let's just take

this party outside.

Outside?

We just got warm.

I mean, that's what

the firepit's for.

Wine charm?

Thanks.

Mmm, enjoy.

Don't give up, Ben.

I'm sensing you're on your

way to a solid B plus fire.

Thanks, man.

Not much you can

do with wet wood,

but hey, if you wanna go

and get some dryer logs...

Nah, you got this.

Besides, this weekend, I'm

avoiding doing anything

that could be considered work.

I'm not talking about

work, I'm not working out,

I'm not even work it on

the dance-floor, you know?

(laughing)

If you knew how many

variations of that

I heard on the way up, you

wouldn't be laughing either.

Well, I'm down

with the sentiment.

In fact, we should make a

pact, no work talk, period.

I don't even wanna

know what you guys do.

Right on.

On that note,

I'm gonna power this thing down,

lock it in the glove box.

I am so there with you,

in spirit.

Hey, where's Cara?

She got caught up in

that word we can't mention,

but we should take pity on her.

She got slammed this weekend.

(fire crackling)

Nice, all right.

(laughing)

[Shawn] Oh, sorry, man.

Come on.

(Megan laughing)

I guess I'll go find

some more matches,

unless of course, you'd like to.

No no no no, man,

go to town, okay?

There are probably

some in the kitchen.

Oh, good idea.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Like I was saying,

vacation is all about

staying off the grid.

[Megan] Mmm.

Yeah.

You know, there's some instant

light logs in the closet.

You have very

little faith in me.

I've known you for

all of five minutes.

How much faith should I have?

Hey, I gave you my snowboard.

That has to be worth something.

Your snowboard?

Ah, figure of speech.

Mmm.

I gotta hand it to you,

you got a great eye.

See this mark?

It means only 40 of

these were ever made,

which means only 39

are left in the world,

which means you lucked out.

(light orchestral music)

Funny, you didn't mention

that in the pro-shop.

Didn't want to add

fuel to the fire.

What fire?

You seemed pretty

dead set on getting it.

You should see me

at a sample sale.

You know what?

You look really familiar.

What part of Seattle

do you work in?

Hey, hey, you missed

out on our pact.

This is a work-free zone.

No work talk.

Won't argue with that.

Then shut your laptop

and come join us.

It's leisure time.

Why does no one

understand this is leisure?

Hmm, lots of words,

super close together,

(inhaling)

looks like work.

Look closer, it's a novel.

If you're a novelist

working on a novel,

it's still work.

Unless I'm a novelist

who's avoiding her real work,

which I have to work on later.

You realize just how many

times you said the word work?

I'm sorry, I'm not used

to words being off limits.

Kind of makes it hard to

get to know each other,

doesn't it?

Well, getting to

know you's overrated.

People give you signs that

tell you who they are.

Like, you know, typing

when someone's talking.

Mmm.

Robes, check.

Towels, check.

It is time for some R and R.

Ca...

Have you started a diary?

Nope.

That thing you said

about being anyone you

wanna be on vacation,

if I'm even considering

being a mystery writer,

then I've got to

start taking notes,

treat the whole word

like one big mystery.

(light orchestral music)

Like that couple of there,

they haven't talked

for five whole minutes.

What's the story there?

Maybe,

maybe they're tired from skiing.

What about Ben and

Shawn's $500 gift basket?

Oh, well, actually, detective,

I have been doing

some of my own digging

and there is a story there.

Turns out, the hotel

sent it to them.

Come on, let's go, spa time.

Oooh, spa time.

(sighing)

Here it goes,

my last moments of

relaxation for the evening.

What do you mean?

Wi-Fi caught up with

me in the locker room.

Did Diane ask you

to do something?

Yeah, but it's nothing.

There's a new

position in the office

and she wants me to

post a job description.

But you're on vacation.

Yeah, but I can

do it in my sleep.

In fact, watch, I'll

do it right now.

Operations manager wanted

for women's magazine.

Must work well with

colorful personalities.

That's a nice

way of putting it.

Have organized work habits

and in-depth knowledge

of our business needs.

Send.

Yeah, that sounds like somebody

who already works there.

What, me?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, Diane's

looking someone

with management experience.

I'm just her assistant.

Exactly, you manage Diane.

(laughing)

I manage her salads.

And her editorial

schedules, photo-shoots,

interviews.

Huh?

I never really looked

at it that way.

You know, in all honesty,

I've never really looked at it

at all.

I'm so focused on Diane,

my own stuff slips

through the cracks.

That's not true.

You planned this trip.

Yeah, look how

well that's going.

Oh, who cares

about the chalet?

We can still have

our girls' trip.

Really.

Look, I'm just gonna

take a deep breath,

(inhaling)

mind my own business,

and pretend those guys

aren't even there.

Fair enough.

(exhaling)

Why didn't the hotel give

us our own gift basket?

(light orchestral music)

Zen-ing out over here, Cara.

Zen-ing out.

[Megan] Right?

Shhh.

Are you really shushing us

at nine PM?

Yeah, he had a rough

day of not working.

He needs his beauty sleep.

Yeah, that's why there's

these things called bedrooms.

The chair is much more comfy,

plus I got my blanket,

I got my cocoa,

I got my Agatha Christie.

And Then There Were None.

Yeah, found it

on the bookshelf.

Got 50 pages left,

but I've narrowed it down to

either Vera or Judge Wargrave.

Don't ruin it.

Oh, I would never.

Although, I will say both

of your guesses are wrong.

Not hearing you.

I am curious why you two

aren't down at karaoke.

It's ladies night.

Which begs the question,

why aren't you there?

Well, sort of taking a

break from that whole world.

From he karaoke world.

No, from the dating world.

I guess you could

call it a cleanse.

Hey, if it works for you,

more power to you.

Yeah, actually it

is working for me.

It's helping me focus

on more important things

like...

(light orchestral music)

Are you expecting someone?

Maybe.

Hey, man, thanks.

That's awesome.

[Man] Mm-hmm.

You know, when I said

there were only 39 of

these left in the world,

now there's only 37.

(light orchestral music)

You hear that?

What?

It's the first

chairlift of the day.

Let's get out there.

I'm surprised you

have so much energy.

Weren't you working all night?

Good thing I was, 'cause

I finished my second

dating cleanse post and

10 pages of my novel.

Mmm, look at you.

Must be the fresh mountain air.

Well, Diane sent

me another headline.

What was it?

How To Say No To
