Stop fidgeting.
Why do we have
to see your dad?
I mean, maybe
there's a problem.
Maybe there's something
wrong with the financing.
You know, maybe
it hit a snag.
Daddy.
Hey.
There's my little girl!
Hi.
Hi.
Sir, I just want
you to know that I...
Sit, sit.
Okay.
Sit, sit, sit.
Great news.
Just finalized the deal
for 70 percent of Fillmore
for the new resort and spa.
Wow, 70 percent,
that's phenomenal.
What about the other
30 percent?
Well, made the town
a generous offer,
and they've agreed
to give it to us.
Give?
Yeah, you know,
eminent domain.
They're going
to declare it a eyesore
or blighted or something.
It's standard procedure.
Blighted? Fillmore, really?
Yeah. Hey, I need you
to go up there tomorrow
and get the city council
to agree to it, too.
That's it. Bye, honey.
Wait, wait, wait, sir.
I don't really think I'm the
right person for the job.
What are you
talking about?
You're my number 1
attack dog.
Plus, I mean,
isn't it your hometown?
Yeah, that's the problem.
Oh, that reminds me.
If we work the financing
by New Year's,
we have to have
the paperwork filed
before the start
of the holiday season.
Okay, I totally
understand that,
but, sir,
I really think...
Hey, kid.
What?
You're not going
in this alone.
Okay?
Yeah.
You've got
the light of my life,
and more importantly,
I put together this.
It's me, it's awesome,
and play it during the meeting.
You're going to be fine.
It's a small town, and I
haven't been there in a while.
And besides, I had
planned for this weekend.
Yeah, I know.
I'm sorry I'm being
so insensitive.
If I were you,
on the way home,
after you've made the deal
and pleased your boss.
You know? Do that.
Yeah.
This guy! I see, you know...
Please.
Have fun.
He's...
He's fantastic.
I know.
Well, guess we're
going to Fillmore.
When the Christmas lights
are twinkling
And the glistening snow
has fallen
Sleigh bells keep
A Christmas dance
with you
Time's suspended,
hold me closer
Underneath
a starry blanket
I'd give anything,
including the moon
For a Christmas dance
with you
I can't remember
a feeling like this
Such heavenly bliss
Intoxicated by your kiss
And if you should ask me
I'll say I don't mind
So were you able
to reschedule
the other thing
we talked about?
Well, once we wrap
this proposal,
then we'll get started
on the other proposal.
I knew you'd
work it out, buddy,
Hold on a second.
Yeah.
That's great,
you're kidding.
That... that's fantastic news.
Hold on a second.
Uh-huh, sure.
Okay, I'm back.
So tell me, what is
the big plan anyway?
It's perfect,
it's this great little
town in Connecticut. It's...
where we went on
our first date.
You know what?
That reminds me of my second
wife, when I proposed to her.
I had the Blue Angels
write up in the sky...
We were in San Fran, and we...
Uh, you know what?
Wait a minute, maybe...
It was Tel Aviv
because it was in Hebrew.
So it had to be
my third wife.
Right, but it's just
as romantic, I hope.
Well, you know
what I always say...
actions speak
louder than words.
Yes, they do.
So do you have,
uh, it on you?
It is a $15,000 ring,
and I'm not letting it
out of my sight.
15,000.
You got off easy, buddy,
but I'll tell you what.
My daughter's going
to be very happy.
Very happy, indeed, son.
Call me when you wrap
this whole thing up.
Will do.
I'm still here.
Yeah, he's right here.
I don't know.
He was on the phone.
I don't know who
he was talking to.
Honey, I want you guys
to have fun tonight.
And it could be a big night,
so keep me posted,
sweetheart.
Thanks. Bye-bye.
I love you, honey.
Carriage signed on to anchor
the new shopping development.
Yes.
But before you start
signing any leases,
remember what your father said,
that in order for us
to get the financing
by the end of the year...
Get the paperwork filed
before the financiers
leave for their holiday break,
blah, blah, blah.
You are so cute
when you get nervous.
Nervous?
Who said anything
about being nervous?
For what you're about to do
this town should be
kissing your butt,
ex-girlfriends included.
Yeah.
Santa Claus is on his way
In a sleigh
Hip, hip, hooray!
I can't wait
for Christmas Day
Hey.
Morning.
Hi, Lisa.
How are you?
I'm good, good.
How are you?
Good, just getting the rest
Oh, my Lord.
You never stop working.
Oh, I'll rest when those Malones
If I know Rick...
Oh, don't worry.
I'm ready for your son,
that little son of yours.
Well, that's good
because they're coming.
What's this?
Is that her?
Aww, I can't wait
to meet her.
No, get back in the car.
Ugh. No, no, no.
You must be Lisa.
Hi.
Lisa, this is...
Reagan Malone.
Like my flyer?
Wow, 30 seconds,
and already with the tone.
Tone? I don't have a tone.
I was just asking a question.
I'm just trying to help my town.
What's so wrong with that?
Your town?
Oh, I can't call it
my town anymore?
Oh, sure, since you've
been here a whole
two or three times
since graduation?
Too busy for 15-year
reunion... your town.
Look around.
This place needs us.
Reagan.
I'm going to call
Maria.
She's lovely.
Why don't you just admit
that you're afraid of change?
I am not afraid of change.
You are, too.
No, I'm not.
Yes, you are.
I'm not.
You are, too, that's why
you wouldn't leave the town.
Oh, really?
Really.
You know what? I hope you're
prepared for tonight, okay?
I'll see you later,
there, city guy.
I hope you're ready
for tonight, country person.
Okay, great, you should
watch your mouth.
You watch your mouth.
Ready, at least more
ready than you know.
Can you hear me?
We're so going to have to
wire this town. I know.
Mom.
Hi, honey.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
Good to see you.
You look wonderful.
Thank you.
Mom, I would like
you to meet...
Reegan.
Reagan.
Reagan, I'm so sorry. It's a
pleasure to finally meet you.
You, too.
So how is everything?
Oh, everything is great.
You know, no snow.
So, of course, there are
no people on the hills.
Well, that's what we're
here to change, right, baby?
That's right, babe.
You know, um,
could I just speak
to you for a moment?
Just...
Yeah, sure.
Babe, could you go
inside really fast?
I just need
to talk to my mom.
Thank you. Please, make
yourself comfortable.
Isn't she great?
Oh, yeah.
She's so pretty, yes.
There's something I really
wanted to talk to you about.
Do you actually
have to do this now?
Mom,
I told you,
you're going to be fine.
We're going to put you in a brand-new
building with plenty more rooms.
This is a great location.
It's going to be great.
I-I actually like
where I live, you know?
And, um, it's really hard
to start over when you're 60.
You know?
Mom, I'm not going to go
