'Tis the Season for Love Page #4

---

It's on the house.

Oh! Wow.

Uh, thank you, um...?

Georgia.

When I was eight,

I saw you in Our Town.

I cried and cried

after your performance.

We still talk about it

to this day.

Drama used to be

everything, you know?

Now they may have to

shut it down.

They can't afford

a full-time teacher anymore.

Yeah, I heard.

My mom was telling me that.

That's a shame.

I loved my drama days.

We all did. Those

were such good times!

Yeah.

Please enjoy, guys.

Thank you.

Thanks.

So, Beth, tell us

all about your

exciting life in New York.

Oh, well, you know... it's--

it's New York, it's incredible.

You know,

I've never been.

We should really go.

Taylor would love it.

She's learning about

the "statute" of Liberty,

as she calls it,

in preschool.

We should all go.

I bet Beth has some fancy

New York City apartment

we could all crash in. Right?

Yeah. Yeah.

You know, I mean...

When the weather's nice.

Right now it's a mess.

How I would have loved

to have made a career

out of acting,

but I did not have the guts...

Or the talent.

Not like you, Beth.

I'd probably be one of those

perpetually out-of-work actors,

living on someone's couch,

waiting tables,

praying for that big break

that never comes.

[Chuckles] Nope.

I'm much more suited

to the boring old

stability of Kern.

Well, it's not for everyone.

[]

Hey, do you guys remember

that high-speed chase

that happened on main street?

It was all anyone ever

talked about for weeks!

Your dad made us

go downstairs

and turn out the lights

in the pharmacy.

We missed it

by, like, 30 seconds.

We were so mad!

The Weekly Kernel

must've done

a hundred stories

on that one event.

High-speed chase.

That is what you need

for the paper

to really take off.

Yes.

I can't believe you took over

The Weekly Kernel .

I mean, that is huge.

Started as an intern,

worked my way up.

Of course, no one else

wanted the job,

so that definitely helped

my meteoric rise up the ladder.

Your daughter is

adorable, by the way.

Thank you.

She keeps us

on our toes,

that's for sure.

Barry's running

the pharmacy now.

Oh!

Yeah, my dad, he

retired three years ago.

Business is good.

Ahh. Your dad

always wanted

to hand over

the reins to you.

I'm sure he's glad

that you took them.

[Guys laughing]

Oh!

All right,

on that note,

I think I'm going to

go call my mom

and check on Taylor.

Hey, send her

a kiss from me.

-I'm gonna get another pitcher.

-Sure.

[Awkward chuckles]

So...

So...

You married Eileen Taylor.

Yeah, I thought

you would've heard by now.

I didn't get the memo.

I didn't have

your address.

You seem really happy.

I am really happy.

Great job,
