Outside, it's snowing
The wind gusting
and blowing
But I'm toasty warm
through and through
Yeah, October, November
Counting down to December
The winter days
warm my heart
With thoughts of you
And when the world's
all covered in a sea of wet
I go sha la la la la
Of you
Of you
The winter days
remind me of you
WOMAN:
"The young princess,you may be sure,
was not long in saying yes
to all of this.
As they spoke,
decked with plumes of feathers
and a golden harness.
They then took leave of the king
and got into the coach,
and all set out
full of joy and merriment
for the prince's kingdom,
which they reached safely.
And there they lived
And there you have it,
The Frog Prince.
Still one of my favorites.
I hope you all enjoyed it
as much as I enjoyed
sharing it with you.
And let's all show Miss Marks
how much we enjoyed
having her read to us
this semester.
Thank you so much
for your help.
Good luck on your interview.
Thank you.
Finished top of your class.
Good.
The City Literacy Program,
what's that?
They send volunteers
to read with kids
in inner-city schools.
All through law school?
- Yes.
- You had time?
Yeah, I made the time.
I love working with children.
Maggie, let me be really clear.
We need somebody razor sharp,
focused, committed 200%,
rain or shine.
Absolutely.
Once you're on the team,
there isn't time for much else.
Are we clear on that?
Clear as rain.
I mean glass.
I mean...
very, very clear.
That was tough.
A lot tougher than I expected.
She was just testing you.
They're a top firm.
They're weeding out the weak.
That's me, the weak.
No, you are not.
They want commitment,
you can commit.
Honestly, I don't know
if I'm cut out for this.
So you try a smaller outfit,
something more boutique.
Yeah, that'll go over
really well my dad.
"Boutique is for shoes.
You need a top firm."
Okay, I'm no lawyer,
but there are--
It's not just that.
cooped up in an office 24/7,
surrounded by guys--
yes, mostly guys--
clawing their way
up to partner
while doing meaningless work
that helps no one
but some corporation's
bottom line for years?
You know what?
You are stressed out.
You're exhausted.
It's not the best time
to be making life decisions.
Which is what I wanted
to talk to you about.
Come to Europe with me.
What? No.
- Why not?
- Even if I could,
I cannot handle
your friend Jenny for two weeks.
And that's just it.
Jenny canceled. She got a job.
That's what I need, a job.
Look, they said they'd get
back to you in two weeks.
It's the perfect time
for a getaway.
I got it all set.
All you need to do is show up.
Trust me, you'll have
way more fun without me.
Maggie Marks, when's
the last time you had fun?
From LSATs through law school,
the bar exam,
you've had your head in the
books for how many years now?
You're the spontaneous one,
not me.
It's not you, which is exactly
why you should do it.
You said so yourself.
Don't you wanna live a little
before it's all billable hours,
cooped up in an office 24/7?
Where are you going again?
MAN:
Calpurnia?Where's that?
Europe. It's southwest
of the French Alps.
Here we go.
Big enough?
Yeah, that's perfect.
Thanks, Mom.
And you'd be gone
two whole weeks?
What if they want you back
for a follow-up interview
while you're away?
Then you'll buy her
a new return ticket.
You can afford it.
Here.
"Calpurnia, a virtual
winter wonderland".
with its own royal family.
"The perfect mixture
of quaint and romantic".
Who knows? You might even meet
a nice European gentleman.
Mom, please. That is
the last thing I need right now.
- She needs a break.
Oh, hang on.
I have something else for you.
I did try my best.
You had one tough interview.
- I'll call.
- Please don't, Dad.
Look, I know you wanna help
but you gotta let me do this.
Or maybe I just can't.
I don't know.
Of course you're anxious.
It's natural.
But you're the toughest
and smartest gal I know.
Thanks, Dad.
Here we go!
Winter wonderland looks cold.
[laughing]
I love you, Mom.
I love you, too, honey.
MAN:
Let's see then.Today you've got
a luncheon at noon,
followed by a meeting with
He requested the full hour to
review your coronation speech.
Then a 2 p.m. fitting
with the tailor and his team
for your coronation uniform.
- Whoa, no, hold on, hold on.
- Highness?
Mother just left a five-minute
gap between 1:
55 and 2 p.m.I'm not sure I'll know
what to do with myself
for those 300 seconds.
[laughing]
[phone vibrates]
Ah, speak of the...
...queen bee.
Her Majesty requests
your presence immediately.
It's in all caps.
That's me done for.
I blame you.
You're the one
who showed her how to text.
It's fine. Just tell her
I'll be down in a minute.
Thank you.
Good morning, Mother.
Good morning, Dory,
gentlemen.
You made the papers... again.
Must be a slow news day...
again.
This is ridiculous.
She was a tourist.
I was giving her directions.
You certainly seem
- Mother, seriously--
- You have to be careful,
especially with
your coronation coming up.
More so than ever, you represent
not only our family,
but the entire country.
So we want to present
Calpurnians as what, exactly?
A surly, unsmiling lot
who are rude to tourists?
Don't dare be daft.
You know exactly what I mean.
I want you to limit
your gallivanting about town
in this last stretch
before the coronation.
I'm not staying cooped up
in here for a week
because some trashy tabloid
prints lies.
Your father,
may he rest in peace,
had a wonderful saying:
"Sacrifice in--"
"Sacrifice in service of
your country is not sacrifice."
Yes. I don't think
he meant it to include
house arrest for his son.
Very well.
In that case, I must insist
that Felix go with you
on your little outings
- at all times.
- Mother!
Fine.
Fine.
I will consent
to be chaperoned
if you consider
my previous request.
Absolutely not.
I'm not turning
a centuries-old tradition
into a public free-for-all.
Why shouldn't the coronation
be open to the public?
They're our citizens.
If not for them,
we wouldn't have a country.
Adrian, the coronation is
one of the few traditions
the noble families have left.
I will not take it away
from them, from us.
- Yes, but--
- I won't discuss it further.
Fine.
Well, then I guess
I'm free to roam,
sans chaperone.
I'll try not to disrupt
the almighty schedule too much.
SARAH:
Yes, yes, yes,you need a new hat.
MAGGIE:
I'm okay, really.- These are classy.
- Okay, let's see.
How about this one?
Mm, I don't know.
I look silly.
You look adorable.
- She'll take it.
- Thank you.
Thanks. And thank you.
You're welcome.
