Bells will be ringing
Glad, glad news
oh, what a Christmas
to have the blues
my baby's gone
I have no friends
to wish me greetings
once again
while you'd be singing
silent night
oh, Christmas Carols
by candlelight
please
come home for Christmas
please come home
for Christmas
if not for Christmas
by new year's night
seven swans a...
Laying
six geese are... swimming...
That's not
right, is it?
Not even close.
Swans swim,
geese lay.
Yeah, well, if
I ever date a guy
who gets me any of those
things for Christmas,
it's over anyway.
Where would you put them
in your New York City
apartment?
"Our" New York City
apartment.
Mm. "Your" New York
city apartment.
Beth, stop.
You're not just someone
who sleeps on my couch,
you are my roommate--
end of story.
Now, grab some garland
and help me
Make this tree beautiful
for our apartment.
I know it's two weeks
until Christmas,
but I am ready for
some Christmas cheer.
Yeah. This is just
what I need right now.
Oh! How was closing
night of your play?
Shouldn't you be at some
cast party or something?
No, I could not go
to another closing night party
of a terrible play
that nobody saw.
My agent
couldn't even be bothered
to go to this one,
okay.
I would much rather
be here with you
trimming our tree,
drinking eggnog.
Please tell me
that we have eggnog.
What am I? An amateur?
We'll finish the tree,
and then I'll take you
at Fred's piano bar.
[Sighs] No. Fred's
is for the Broadway crowd.
You are welcome there,
I feel like an outsider.
Every time I go,
I feel like
I'm riding the coattails
of your career.
Okay, you are one
great audition away
from my career
being your career.
I was you
three years ago,
plucked from obscurity
by my dad's producer friend--
but that is
besides the point,
and now I'm on
That'll be you.
Especially if you get
My audition did
go really well.
You're going to get it.
Ohh... I'm going to get it.
I have to get it.
Because sleeping
on the couch,
doing bad theater,
waiting tables,
this is not how
it's supposed to be.
Life is never "how
it's supposed to be."
You've got to learn how
to roll with it, Bethy,
because maybe
it'll be even better.
[]
Good morning, sunshine.
I'm just making
some French toast
before I go to the Hamptons,
and...
Merry early Christmas.
What is this?
Open it!
This is the first year
in forever
that you haven't had rehearsal
over the holidays,
and they cut your hours
at the diner,
so now you get to
go home for Christmas...
On me.
Nicole...
This is too much.
I got you earrings.
They're not expensive ones.
Wow! Thank you for
ruining the surprise.
[Laughs]
Now, I already
checked you in,
and I arranged
to have a limo
pick you up
when you land.
Why are you
doing this?
Because
you're my best friend.
And nobody should
be alone at Christmas.
I mean,
it's just not right.
You can't sit around waiting
You deserve
a hometown holiday...
So go to Kern.
They all expected
so much for me, you know?
"Destined for greatness..."
So the yearbook said.
Stupid, lying
yearbook.
[]
Yeah. Yeah...
New York is great.
I'm up for a play, actually.
Mamet.
Yeah, yeah. David Mamet.
It is!
It's... very exciting.
[]
Thank you.
[Gasping]
Merry Christmas, mama.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh... oh!
Oh, you're home!
It's a Christmas miracle.
Oh, come on,
come on, come on.
Get inside.
You outdid yourself
on the lawn.
I can't help myself.
