Married by Christmas Page #2

---

to my sister, Carrie.

Her beauty is only surpassed

by her business acumen.

- Oh, stop.

- I am so glad to finally meet you.

- Me too.

- Oh, no, no, no!

I don't shake hands.

- I'm a hugger.

- Okay!

- Okay! Ah!

- Ah!

Hi! Wow! So this

is the famous Ethan.

Tell me, how did you manage to drag

this one away from her restaurant?

Oh, I didn't.

I am one of her vendors.

Mm! Ethan has

a prospering organic farm.

We serve his vegetables

at the restaurant,

- and they are simply stunning.

- Thanks, babe.

Well played, Ethan. If anything

can turn this one's head,

- it's an heirloom tomato.

- He also forages.

- Oh.

- Mm-hm. Truffles...

- Uh-huh. Wow.

- Mushrooms, and pine nuts.

- Hm...

- He's a trailblazer in the wild food movement.

- I teach a class on it.

- So you just find food?

Like a mountain man or...?

Basically, but with

a little less beard.

Mm-hm. It's an impactful

skill to possess.

- I'm sure.

- We will never starve so long as I have these.

- Let's eat.

- Carrie, you really have to come up to Napa.

You haven't been to the

restaurant since the opening

and I know that you

would love Ethan's farm.

- I know. I'm sure.

- We're harvesting Brussels sprouts.

- It's a blast!

- [forced laugh]

Thanks, but, you know, I'm just... I've

been so swamped with work, Katie.

And it's... it's my baby.

And my boyfriend.

And my weekends and my

vacations, and, uh...

- But I love it, so and...

- That is exactly how I feel about the restaurant.

[Ethan] Hey, what about me?

Well, you, darling, are my sun,

my moon, and my sky.

- Oh! There she is!

- Hi, Mom.

Hi, honey. Dinner is served.

[sighs]

Hope they don't sit us

in the kids' table.

[laughs] He's such a jokester.

Ethan, I totally love that you're growing

some of the vegetables or whatever.

But, Katie, when am I going to get you

to accept an Emerson Food contract?

Uh, well, you know, I really am

trying to be more farm-to-table.

What are... It's not like we sell

vegetables grown in outer space.

I just like to have a relationship

with the farmers that I buy from.

- Mm. Clearly, you do.

- Okay.

Is this a really appropriate

Thanksgiving dinner conversation?

Fine. Fine, no business

talk at the table.

That's right. You promised.

So what is this surprise you

have for us, Miss Katie?

Hm... -[Carrie gasps]

You're pregnant, aren't you?

- Oh, Katie! Are you?

- [Carrie] What?

No! You are terrible! -[Ethan]

Come on, Katie, we can tell 'em.

We will tell them at the right

moment and not a second sooner.

Ooh. Practically perfect

Katie has a plan.

Perpetually pesky Carrie

will annoy her older sister.

And in the meantime, my

Turducken is getting cold.
