00:09:33,862 --> 00:09:35,827
- Where are these
classes held again?

183
00:09:35,862 --> 00:09:37,965
- At the center she
runs with her sister.

184
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,344
I think it's up north
somewhere. I have the info.

185
00:09:41,793 --> 00:09:43,827
- Hm.

186
00:09:43,862 --> 00:09:45,344
- Oh, and don't worry about
the price that's listed.

187
00:09:45,379 --> 00:09:47,689
Remember she's
giving me a discount.

188
00:09:47,724 --> 00:09:50,034
- Yeah, 300 instead of 450.

189
00:09:50,068 --> 00:09:52,758
I need to get into this racket.

190
00:09:52,793 --> 00:09:54,413
- Mom.

191
00:09:54,448 --> 00:09:55,103
- Sorry.

192
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:58,655
- Remember if you
can't pay for it,

193
00:09:58,689 --> 00:10:00,344
I'm sure Dad can do it.

194
00:10:00,379 --> 00:10:01,034
- I'm sure.

195
00:10:03,068 --> 00:10:04,413
- Well, he also said he has
an account set up for me

196
00:10:04,448 --> 00:10:06,000
for whenever I need it.

197
00:10:06,034 --> 00:10:07,310
- He told you that?

198
00:10:07,344 --> 00:10:09,758
- Yeah. Is he
lying or something?

199
00:10:09,793 --> 00:10:13,034
- I wouldn't know. I don't
control your father's money.

200
00:10:13,068 --> 00:10:15,689
- Well, he said I can use
it whenever I need it.

201
00:10:15,724 --> 00:10:17,689
So might as well use it.

202
00:10:17,724 --> 00:10:21,413
- Enough about your
father's deep pockets, okay?

203
00:10:21,448 --> 00:10:22,103
- Understood.

204
00:10:23,896 --> 00:10:25,689
Not trying to be all
in your business,

205
00:10:25,724 --> 00:10:28,862
but why was there so much school
stuff in your car earlier?

206
00:10:30,896 --> 00:10:33,965
- It's just extra stuff I
don't need in the classroom.

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,310
Decided to store it there.

208
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:38,103
- Okay. Gotcha.

209
00:10:39,689 --> 00:10:40,965
- You need to go to bed.

210
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,310
We have an early morning.

211
00:10:42,344 --> 00:10:44,206
What, why? Tomorrow's Saturday.

212
00:10:44,241 --> 00:10:46,034
- Yeah, we're setting
up the food pantry

213
00:10:46,068 --> 00:10:48,206
at the new church, remember?

214
00:10:48,241 --> 00:10:51,310
This'll be great for the
church and the community.

215
00:10:51,344 --> 00:10:54,862
- Um, I'm so sorry,

216
00:10:54,896 --> 00:10:56,862
but I totally forgot to tell you

217
00:10:56,896 --> 00:11:00,000
that I'm doing breakfast
tomorrow with Dad

218
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,172
so he can help me
with my algebra

219
00:11:02,206 --> 00:11:04,793
and yeah, can I make
it up to you, please?

220
00:11:06,172 --> 00:11:07,862
- Sure.

221
00:11:07,896 --> 00:11:09,034
- Thank you, Mom, good night.

222
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:13,862
[gentle music]

223
00:11:16,931 --> 00:11:19,413
- [sighs] Fine.

224
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:28,413
[bells jingling]

225
00:11:41,965 --> 00:11:45,896
- Well, things are
really looking good here

226
00:11:45,931 --> 00:11:46,931
at the food pantry.

227
00:11:47,931 --> 00:11:49,758
Thank you so much.

228
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:50,965
- Thank you so much.

229
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,137
I really enjoy doing this.

230
00:11:53,172 --> 00:11:54,068
And you are?

231
00:11:55,103 --> 00:11:57,896
- Oh, sorry. I'm Noel Preston.

232
00:11:59,448 --> 00:12:01,482
Pastor Preston.

233
00:12:01,517 --> 00:12:05,000
- Oh! Oh my goodness.
[both laughing]

234
00:12:05,034 --> 00:12:06,241
It's an honor to meet you.

235
00:12:08,275 --> 00:12:10,827
Thank you for allowing me
to do this for your church.

236
00:12:10,862 --> 00:12:12,275
- Oh no, no, no, no.

237
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:14,068
When you contacted
us about doing this,

238
00:12:14,103 --> 00:12:16,482
trust me, we were
the ones blessed.

239
00:12:16,517 --> 00:12:18,137
- It's important to bless others

240
00:12:18,172 --> 00:12:20,551
when we're in a
position to do so.

241
00:12:20,586 --> 00:12:21,827
Yeah?

242
00:12:21,862 --> 00:12:23,241
- Amen, sister.

243
00:12:24,241 --> 00:12:25,103
Amen.

244
00:12:27,172 --> 00:12:30,965
Well, I guess I should
let you get back to work

245
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,931
as I have some work to
do myself. [chuckles]

246
00:12:33,965 --> 00:12:36,448
As I will down the
hall in my office

247
00:12:36,482 --> 00:12:37,551
if you need me.

248
00:12:37,586 --> 00:12:38,448
- Okay.

249
00:12:40,482 --> 00:12:42,103
- You have a great
rest of your day.

250
00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:44,000
- Thanks. You too.

251
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,758
[Noel chuckles]

252
00:12:52,137 --> 00:12:54,068
[light upbeat music]

253
00:12:54,103 --> 00:12:56,793
[Roz chuckles]

254
00:13:02,931 --> 00:13:05,310
["Jingle Bells"]

255
00:13:09,206 --> 00:13:10,172
Hey.

256
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:12,034
- Hey.

257
00:13:12,068 --> 00:13:13,172
- Your dad help you
with your homework?

258
00:13:13,206 --> 00:13:15,931
- He sure did. Dad's awesome.

259
00:13:15,965 --> 00:13:17,000
I really miss us.

260
00:13:19,068 --> 00:13:21,241
- I know, baby, but for now we
need to detangle these lights

261
00:13:21,275 --> 00:13:23,000
so we can get up
in the backyard.

262
00:13:24,206 --> 00:13:26,241
- [sighs] Mom?

263
00:13:26,275 --> 00:13:28,517
- Hm?
- I really miss us.

264
00:13:28,551 --> 00:13:30,000
Especially during Christmastime.

265
00:13:31,965 --> 00:13:34,517
Not spending Christmas
together as a family

266
00:13:34,551 --> 00:13:36,413
is gonna be different.

267
00:13:36,448 --> 00:13:38,241
Like I don't even
know how to do that.

268
00:13:39,551 --> 00:13:41,379
- I know, baby,

269
00:13:41,413 --> 00:13:43,241
but we just have to learn
how to deal with that.

270
00:13:45,931 --> 00:13:47,896
- But do we really?

271
00:13:51,068 --> 00:13:54,931
Mom, I wanna spend Christmas
together as a family,

272
00:13:54,965 --> 00:13:55,862
even though we aren't.

273
00:13:57,655 --> 00:13:59,137
I know it's the one thing
I want for Christmas.

274
00:14:01,413 --> 00:14:04,034
- What if your dad
isn't available?

275
00:14:04,068 --> 00:14:06,275
- How could he not be
available for Christmas for me?

276
00:14:06,310 --> 00:14:07,620
How could you not wanna do this?

277
00:14:10,241 --> 00:14:12,275
I want my family for Christmas.

278
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:14,000
It'd be the bestest gift ever.

279
00:14:15,068 --> 00:14:15,965
- Hm.

280
00:14:17,275 --> 00:14:19,241
We'll see.

281
00:14:19,275 --> 00:14:21,931
But for now let's get
the yard decorated

282
00:14:21,965 --> 00:14:24,137
so we can have a festive
atmosphere around here.

283
00:14:25,206 --> 00:14:26,275
Need more lights.

284
00:14:30,379 --> 00:14:31,241
- Okay.

285
00:14:33,517 --> 00:14:35,379
What child doesn't want
their parents together

286
00:14:35,413 --> 00:14:38,965
for Christmas?
[gentle somber music]

287
00:14:42,034 --> 00:14:45,034
[gentle holiday music]

288
00:14:51,689 --> 00:14:52,551
- Oh.

289
00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:05,241
[gentle music]

290
00:15:05,275 --> 00:15:06,137
Oh.

291
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:11,655
[gasps]

292
00:15:11,689 --> 00:15:13,689
[sighs] Still works.

293
00:15:17,068 --> 00:15:19,344
Dalton bought this for
me when Esta was born.

294
00:15:25,206 --> 00:15:28,413
[phone ringing]

295
00:15:28,448 --> 00:15:29,310
Oh.

296
00:15:35,172 --> 00:15:36,137
Hey, Dalton.

297
00:15:36,172 --> 00:15:37,655
- [Dalton] Hey.

298
00:15:37,689 --> 00:15:39,275
You got time to talk?

299
00:15:39,310 --> 00:15:41,034
- What about?

300
00:15:41,068 --> 00:15:42,448
- [Dalton] You
know, holiday plans,

301
00:15:42,482 --> 00:15:43,172
you know, since
it's the first year

302
00:15:43,206 --> 00:15:46,103
we won't be together and all.

303
00:15:46,137 --> 00:15:48,344
- Yeah, well maybe we should.

304
00:15:48,379 --> 00:15:49,344
- [Dalton] Oh really, we should?

305
00:15:51,068 --> 00:15:53,000
- Esta mentioned it to me

306
00:15:53,034 --> 00:15:56,379
and maybe we should hang
out with her for her sake.

307
00:15:57,448 --> 00:15:58,413
- [Dalton] Okay.

308
00:15:58,448 --> 00:15:59,689
That sounds cool to me.

309
00:16:01,379 --> 00:16:04,034
- I, um, I'll hit
you back later.

310
00:16:04,068 --> 00:16:05,241
I'm kind of in the
middle of something.

311
00:16:05,275 --> 00:16:06,620
- [Dalton] Yeah, okay.

312
00:16:06,655 --> 00:16:08,103
Cool. We'll just
talk about it later.

313
00:16:08,137 --> 00:16:08,758
- Okay. Bye.

314
00:16:12,758 --> 00:16:16,206
[gentle orchestral music]

315
00:16:29,517 --> 00:16:30,413
- Good morning, Mom.

316
00:16:30,448 --> 00:16:32,103
- Good morning.

317
00:16:32,137 --> 00:16:34,034
- I just need
something quick to take

318
00:16:34,068 --> 00:16:34,724
because Shayda's mom is
on her way to pick me up.

319
00:16:34,758 --> 00:16:35,344
- That's fine.

320
00:16:44,206 --> 00:16:45,758
You're not even
gonna warm it up?

321
00:16:45,793 --> 00:16:47,620
- Nah, I'm good.

322
00:16:47,655 --> 00:16:50,379
Why are you still here here?
Usually leave before me.

323
00:16:50,413 --> 00:16:52,241
- I just have something

324
00:16:52,275 --> 00:16:54,448
to take care of
before work, so yeah.

325
00:16:56,241 --> 00:16:57,172
- Okay.
[lively ringtone ringing]

326
00:16:57,206 --> 00:16:58,827
Oh, Shayda's here.

327
00:16:58,862 --> 00:17:00,275
Gotta go, Mom. Bye.

328
00:17:00,310 --> 00:17:01,172
- Bye.

329
00:17:02,241 --> 00:17:03,275
- Love you.

330
00:17:03,310 --> 00:17:04,482
- Love you too.

331
00:17:04,517 --> 00:17:05,379
Be good.

332
00:17:05,413 --> 00:17:06,275
- [Esta] I will.

333
00:17:07,482 --> 00:17:10,137
[tense music]

334
00:17:11,862 --> 00:17:14,482
[door clattering]

335
00:17:15,862 --> 00:17:19,137
[lively holiday music]

336
00:17:31,137 --> 00:17:31,793
- Okay.

337
00:17:41,482 --> 00:17:43,137
It's December 10th.

338
00:17:45,413 --> 00:17:47,137
Got laid off on Friday.

339
00:17:49,206 --> 00:17:53,137
So that means I
get one more check.

340
00:17:58,896 --> 00:17:59,758
Hm.

341
00:18:02,241 --> 00:18:02,896
Ooh.

342
00:18:18,896 --> 00:18:20,551
- [Noel] Hey, good morning.

343
00:18:20,586 --> 00:18:22,206
- Good morning to you.

344
00:18:22,241 --> 00:18:23,413
- What's that? I'll
get that for you.

345
00:18:23,448 --> 00:18:26,551
- Thanks.
- All right. [chuckles]

346
00:18:26,586 --> 00:18:28,862
Uh, what brings
you here so early?

347
00:18:28,896 --> 00:18:31,413
- I called to check in
and they said Mr. Joe

348
00:18:31,448 --> 00:18:33,551
was sneaking cans of
corn out under his shirt.

349
00:18:33,586 --> 00:18:34,965
I said, let him take the corn.

350
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,551
I'll bring some more.
[Noel laughing]

351
00:18:36,586 --> 00:18:37,344
- Of course, that's what
we're here for, right?

352
00:18:37,379 --> 00:18:38,206
- Yeah.

353
00:18:39,862 --> 00:18:42,379
- So, what do you
do during the day?

354
00:18:42,413 --> 00:18:46,517
- I teach at a
school, but not today.

355
00:18:46,551 --> 00:18:48,586
Crazy situation.

356
00:18:48,620 --> 00:18:50,862
- Well, you wanna
tell me about it?

357
00:18:50,896 --> 00:18:52,379
I'm good with counseling people.

358
00:18:52,413 --> 00:18:53,827
I do it for a living.

359
00:18:53,862 --> 00:18:56,413
- I, I don't think I
need counseling, Pastor.

360
00:18:56,448 --> 00:18:58,724
I just need to stay
busy to keep my mind

361
00:18:58,758 --> 00:18:59,862
off of certain things.
- Okay, okay.

362
00:18:59,896 --> 00:19:01,586
I totally understand.

363
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:03,655
I mean, I know what
you're going through.

364
00:19:03,689 --> 00:19:06,931
- I don't think you know what
I'm going through, Pastor.

365
00:19:06,965 --> 00:19:10,310
- Listen, you have
the power to fix

366
00:19:10,344 --> 00:19:13,275
whatever it is that's
troubling you at the moment.

367
00:19:13,310 --> 00:19:14,896
Just find it within yourself.

368
00:19:19,517 --> 00:19:20,620
Oh no, I got it.

369
00:19:34,655 --> 00:19:37,413
[door clatters]

370
00:19:40,344 --> 00:19:42,551
- Just gotta find another job

371
00:19:42,586 --> 00:19:45,448
before the little genius
figures out anything.

372
00:19:48,275 --> 00:19:50,586
[door clattering]

373
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:52,965
- Oh, Mom, you're home.

374
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,448
- Yeah. Been home
about five, 10 minutes.

375
00:19:58,827 --> 00:20:00,931
- You musta flew outta
work when the kids left.

376
00:20:00,965 --> 00:20:03,379
- I guess so. How was school?

377
00:20:03,413 --> 00:20:05,448
- It was school.

378
00:20:05,482 --> 00:20:07,448
Remember that Secret Santa
I was telling you about?

379
00:20:07,482 --> 00:20:10,413
Well, that's happening.

380
00:20:10,448 --> 00:20:12,517
The class agreed on spending
no more than $20 on a gift.

381
00:20:12,551 --> 00:20:14,448
- $20?

382
00:20:14,482 --> 00:20:16,275
When I did it, it was five.

383
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:18,413
- Some kids wanted
it to be a hundred.

384
00:20:18,448 --> 00:20:20,724
- What kinda jobs
do these kids have?

385
00:20:20,758 --> 00:20:24,793
- Oh, and Ms. Sherman asked
about the money for gymnastics.

386
00:20:24,827 --> 00:20:26,413
She wanted to know if
I was still interested.

387
00:20:26,448 --> 00:20:28,275
I told her yeah.

388
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:30,724
Just waiting on you to
hand over some money.

389
00:20:30,758 --> 00:20:32,551
- I'll get it. We have time.

390
00:20:34,068 --> 00:20:36,827
- Okay. [sighs]

391
00:20:36,862 --> 00:20:39,482
I'm gonna go start
doing my math project.

392
00:20:39,517 --> 00:20:40,896
- Oh. Need help?

393
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:46,034
- No. Dad's the math whiz.

394
00:20:46,068 --> 00:20:46,724
I'm good.

395
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:52,586
[somber music]

396
00:20:52,620 --> 00:20:54,620
- Dad's the math whiz.

397
00:20:54,655 --> 00:20:59,310
Finance whiz. Secret
handshake whiz.

398
00:20:59,344 --> 00:21:02,689
Might as well knight
him Sir Dalton McKenzie.

399
00:21:19,620 --> 00:21:21,344
- Hey, Dad.

400
00:21:21,379 --> 00:21:23,000
What are you doing
tomorrow after school?

401
00:21:25,689 --> 00:21:27,965
Um, I wanna go over
there and talk to you.

402
00:21:31,344 --> 00:21:32,000
Bye.

403
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:40,448
[gentle holiday music]

404
00:21:49,724 --> 00:21:51,586
- Pasta. You cool with that?

405
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:53,344
- Yeah.

406
00:21:53,379 --> 00:21:55,000
I'm gonna hang out
with my dad tomorrow.

407
00:21:55,034 --> 00:21:56,344
You cool with that?

408
00:21:56,379 --> 00:21:57,827
- Why?

409
00:21:57,862 --> 00:21:58,620
- Because I wanna
spend time with him.

410
00:21:58,655 --> 00:21:59,620
Is there a problem?

411
00:22:00,586 --> 00:22:01,413
- Nope.

412
00:22:02,413 --> 00:22:03,068
- Cool.

413
00:22:10,586 --> 00:22:14,586
- "I wanna spend time with
him. Is there a problem?"

414
00:22:14,620 --> 00:22:16,586
[Roz sighs]

415
00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:18,551

["Jingle Bells"]

417
00:22:36,827 --> 00:22:40,000
Dalton said you were
supposed to be good luck.

418
00:22:43,965 --> 00:22:46,586
Right now you just feel
like a hoodoo doll.

419
00:22:48,413 --> 00:22:51,379
Everything that could
go wrong is going wrong.

420
00:22:52,448 --> 00:22:53,344
So...

421
00:22:55,448 --> 00:22:56,413
I need you

422
00:22:57,586 --> 00:23:01,448
to be good luck.

423
00:23:04,655 --> 00:23:07,655
[light jazzy music]

424
00:23:17,655 --> 00:23:19,517
- Come on in, baby.

425
00:23:19,551 --> 00:23:20,034
Come on.

426
00:23:22,137 --> 00:23:24,137
- Dad, your tree is naked.

427
00:23:25,241 --> 00:23:26,827
- I know.

428
00:23:26,862 --> 00:23:28,655
I just picked it up yesterday.

429
00:23:28,689 --> 00:23:30,517
I knew you was coming

430
00:23:30,551 --> 00:23:32,000
so I figured we could
decorate it together.

431
00:23:33,482 --> 00:23:34,034
- [Esta] Excellent.

432
00:23:36,241 --> 00:23:38,655
[tense music]

433
00:23:45,896 --> 00:23:47,793
- [Dalton] What's
wrong, baby girl?

434
00:23:47,827 --> 00:23:49,620
- I gotta talk to you, Dad.

435
00:23:49,655 --> 00:23:51,000
- About what? What's the matter.

436
00:23:52,827 --> 00:23:54,206
- I wanna join gymnastics,

437
00:23:54,241 --> 00:23:56,103
but I asked Mom to pay for it

438
00:23:56,137 --> 00:23:57,862
and she isn't giving
me the money yet.

439
00:23:59,862 --> 00:24:01,896
- Oh, so now you just coming
to ask me for the money, right?

440
00:24:01,931 --> 00:24:04,724
- Well, yeah. You are my dad.

441
00:24:04,758 --> 00:24:06,724
Plus I just don't think that Mom

442
00:24:06,758 --> 00:24:08,275
has the money for it right now.

443
00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:11,000
She's always talk about
paying the bills first.

444
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:14,206
Mama's become, I don't
know, weird about money.

445
00:24:14,241 --> 00:24:16,724
- All right, but, you
gotta understand now

446
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:21,862
she's the head of the household
over there now, you know.

447
00:24:21,896 --> 00:24:23,655
And it's not easy.

448
00:24:23,689 --> 00:24:26,206
So you gotta cut
her a little slack.

449
00:24:27,206 --> 00:24:28,206
- I guess.

450
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:31,655
- It's just gymnastics, right?

451
00:24:31,689 --> 00:24:33,655
- Well, why don't you just
give me the money instead?

452
00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:35,655
It's only $300.

453
00:24:35,689 --> 00:24:38,724
- $300? For gymnastics?

454
00:24:38,758 --> 00:24:40,172
- It's for a private class.

455
00:24:40,206 --> 00:24:41,655
Anyway, let's talk
about something else.

456
00:24:41,689 --> 00:24:43,862
- Well okay, I don't blame her.

457
00:24:43,896 --> 00:24:46,758
I can teach you how to
flip. You know that, right?

458
00:24:46,793 --> 00:24:48,206
[Esta scoffs]

459
00:24:48,241 --> 00:24:49,758
Well, look, what
about Christmas?

460
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:54,758
Mom said she would
actually be fine

461
00:24:54,793 --> 00:24:56,655
with the idea of us bringing
in Christmas together

462
00:24:56,689 --> 00:24:58,000
as a family.

463
00:24:58,034 --> 00:24:59,758
- [chuckles] Really? Are you?

464
00:24:59,793 --> 00:25:02,620
- Yeah. Of course I am.

465
00:25:02,655 --> 00:25:04,896
I get to be with my baby
girl. What do you think?

466
00:25:04,931 --> 00:25:06,275
- What about seeing Mom?

467
00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:11,034
- I mean, [chuckles]
that'd be nice too I guess.

468
00:25:11,068 --> 00:25:12,551
- You guys trip me out.

469
00:25:14,137 --> 00:25:15,965
- Where's all this
talk... [chuckles]

470
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,137
Where's this coming
from, little girl.

471
00:25:18,172 --> 00:25:21,620
- You two. I don't get why
y'all are not together.

472
00:25:21,655 --> 00:25:23,000
Can you explain it?

473
00:25:23,034 --> 00:25:25,344
- There's a lotta
details that happened

474
00:25:25,379 --> 00:25:28,241
between me and your mom, okay?

475
00:25:28,275 --> 00:25:29,724
But you don't need
to know all that

476
00:25:29,758 --> 00:25:31,275
because you're too young anyway.

477
00:25:32,793 --> 00:25:33,620
- Well, tell me this.

478
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,620
Do you wish it never happened?

479
00:25:40,827 --> 00:25:42,620
- [sighs] Come here.

480
00:25:47,965 --> 00:25:50,896
To me when it comes to your mom,

481
00:25:53,034 --> 00:25:55,655
there's a lotta things that
I wish didn't happen, okay?

482
00:25:57,965 --> 00:26:00,310
- [sighs] I told Mom

483
00:26:00,344 --> 00:26:02,310
that I wanted to spend
Christmas together

484
00:26:04,068 --> 00:26:05,689
but that's not the
only thing I want.

485
00:26:05,724 --> 00:26:07,344
I want us back together
as a family, Dad.

486
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:10,896
Do you ever feel like that?

487
00:26:10,931 --> 00:26:12,655
- Yeah, of course I do.

488
00:26:14,724 --> 00:26:17,931
Look, I never wanted any of
this separate holiday stuff.

489
00:26:17,965 --> 00:26:20,034
I mean, it's weird.

490
00:26:20,068 --> 00:26:23,137
You know, you got a tree at
your mom's house, a tree here.

491
00:26:23,172 --> 00:26:24,793
This is never what
I wanted for us.

492
00:26:25,862 --> 00:26:26,793
- Then fix it.

493
00:26:28,344 --> 00:26:31,724
- I can't. I mean,
it's not all on me.

494
00:26:31,758 --> 00:26:34,862
It's your mom, and
you know your mom.

495
00:26:34,896 --> 00:26:36,310
She gets what she wants.

496
00:26:36,344 --> 00:26:39,000
And I guess this
is what she wanted.

497
00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:43,034
- Let's just say it's time
that we get what we want,

498
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:44,344
our family back together.

499
00:26:46,862 --> 00:26:47,724
- Yeah.

500
00:26:49,344 --> 00:26:51,862
Look, you're doing
all this talking.

501
00:26:51,896 --> 00:26:53,862
Are you gonna help me
with this tree or not?

502
00:26:53,896 --> 00:26:55,275
I need you to get
it pretty for me

503
00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:57,310
'cause I'm not gonna
do it by myself.

504
00:26:57,344 --> 00:26:58,827
- [chuckles] Okay, okay, Dad.
- Come on.

505
00:27:00,793 --> 00:27:02,758
[sighs] I'm gonna go
upstairs and change clothes.

506
00:27:04,103 --> 00:27:07,344

[door clattering]

509
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,379
Good.
- Yeah I can't wait to eat it.

510
00:27:23,413 --> 00:27:25,034
- It better be good.
[Esta chuckling]

511
00:27:25,068 --> 00:27:26,896
- Well, it's about time.

512
00:27:26,931 --> 00:27:28,965
- Hey, Mom, we brought dinner.

513
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,931
- Dinner's cooking.

514
00:27:30,965 --> 00:27:32,931
You should've called and told
me if you were bringing food.

515
00:27:32,965 --> 00:27:35,241
- Come on, Roz. It's just food.

516
00:27:35,275 --> 00:27:36,724
- It's always
something with you.

517
00:27:36,758 --> 00:27:37,862
- Mom, come on.

518
00:27:37,896 --> 00:27:39,034
- Esta, go upstairs.

519
00:27:40,827 --> 00:27:41,310
- Bye.

520
00:27:44,896 --> 00:27:47,482
Really? Was all that
really necessary?

521
00:27:47,517 --> 00:27:50,241
- Is it necessary for you
to bring her home late?

522
00:27:50,275 --> 00:27:52,931
- Roz, [laughing] it's
only eight o'clock.

523
00:27:52,965 --> 00:27:54,344
- She has school tomorrow.

524
00:27:54,379 --> 00:27:56,034
- Well, she's already
done her homework

525
00:27:56,068 --> 00:27:57,413
and I know it's right,
because I helped her,

526
00:27:57,448 --> 00:27:58,413
so why are you tripping?

527
00:27:59,965 --> 00:28:01,137
- Are you finished?

528
00:28:01,172 --> 00:28:04,172
- No, actually I'm not.

529
00:28:04,206 --> 00:28:06,551
She tells me that you can't
buy some of the things

530
00:28:06,586 --> 00:28:07,931
that she needs.

531
00:28:07,965 --> 00:28:10,103
- What?
- Yeah.

532
00:28:10,137 --> 00:28:11,482
You having financial
issues again?

533
00:28:13,172 --> 00:28:15,068
- If I am having
financial issues again,

534
00:28:15,103 --> 00:28:17,827
it's because you're refusing
to pay child support.

535
00:28:17,862 --> 00:28:19,275
- So, which is it?

536
00:28:19,310 --> 00:28:21,275
You can pay for the
things she needs

537
00:28:21,310 --> 00:28:22,482
or you can't because
I won't give you

538
00:28:22,517 --> 00:28:24,448
your little child support money?

539
00:28:24,482 --> 00:28:25,827
- It's both.

540
00:28:25,862 --> 00:28:27,172
I can hold things down here,

541
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:28,862
but you gotta take
care of your daughter.

542
00:28:28,896 --> 00:28:30,551
- Whoa, whoa. I take
care of my daughter

543
00:28:30,586 --> 00:28:33,137
and I will get her
whatever she needs, okay?

544
00:28:33,172 --> 00:28:34,551
- Good.
- Yeah. Good.

545
00:28:34,586 --> 00:28:35,965
I just don't think I need to be

546
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,103
on child support right now.

547
00:28:37,137 --> 00:28:38,551
- Well, I do and that's that

548
00:28:38,586 --> 00:28:39,793
so let's get up on outta here.

549
00:28:39,827 --> 00:28:40,448
Come on.

550
00:28:40,482 --> 00:28:41,103
- Really?

551
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:41,965
- After you.

552
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:42,862
- Wow.

553
00:28:44,241 --> 00:28:45,965
Is all this really necessary?

554
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,068
- [Roz] Yep.

555
00:28:47,103 --> 00:28:49,931
- [Dalton] [laughing] Okay.

556
00:28:49,965 --> 00:28:51,482
Cute. Real cute.

557
00:28:53,586 --> 00:28:55,344
- And I will drop her off

558
00:28:55,379 --> 00:28:57,000
after we have our breakfast
on Christmas morning.

559
00:28:57,034 --> 00:28:58,827
- No, no, no.

560
00:28:58,862 --> 00:28:59,931
Esta thinks that we're
spending Christmas together

561
00:28:59,965 --> 00:29:01,379
as a family.

562
00:29:01,413 --> 00:29:03,172
She's already excited
about it. Come on.

563
00:29:03,206 --> 00:29:05,034
- She'll get over it.

564
00:29:05,068 --> 00:29:06,620
- Wow.

565
00:29:06,655 --> 00:29:07,275
- Hurry up.

566
00:29:07,310 --> 00:29:10,034
[door slamming]

567
00:29:14,068 --> 00:29:16,172
[light knocking]

568
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:17,931
You got no right
telling your father

569
00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:19,034
I can't pay for anything.

570
00:29:19,068 --> 00:29:20,482
- Mom, I didn't tell him that.

571
00:29:20,517 --> 00:29:22,620
- Whatever you told him,
don't do it anymore.

572
00:29:22,655 --> 00:29:24,896
How dare you literally
give him the ammo

573
00:29:24,931 --> 00:29:26,172
to use against me.

574
00:29:26,206 --> 00:29:28,034
- I... [panting]

575
00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:29,137
[door slamming]

576
00:29:29,172 --> 00:29:32,551
[gentle holiday music]

577
00:29:39,137 --> 00:29:40,000
- Oh. Hey.

578
00:29:41,137 --> 00:29:44,896
- Hi. Looking good.

579
00:29:44,931 --> 00:29:45,551
- [sighs] Thanks.

580
00:29:54,586 --> 00:29:56,827
You care to sit?

581
00:29:59,896 --> 00:30:00,896
- Sure.

582
00:30:06,413 --> 00:30:08,206
It's been a weird
couple of weeks.

583
00:30:09,586 --> 00:30:11,137
Lost a job that I loved.

584
00:30:14,034 --> 00:30:15,068
Like it feels

585
00:30:17,068 --> 00:30:19,551
like everything is coming
down on me at once.

586
00:30:21,413 --> 00:30:23,000
Like life is just
tough in general.

587
00:30:26,068 --> 00:30:27,034
Until I come here.

588
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:30,482
I always feel
better when I leave.

589
00:30:33,206 --> 00:30:37,896
- It's, it's the spirit
of Christmas. [chuckles]

590
00:30:37,931 --> 00:30:39,344
And this building.

591
00:30:39,379 --> 00:30:42,206
It brings a lot of joy
for a lot of people.

592
00:30:46,413 --> 00:30:50,379
- Well, I have some work
to do in the pantry.

593
00:30:50,413 --> 00:30:54,000
So I'm gonna get started-
- Mrs. Roz McKenzie.

594
00:30:55,965 --> 00:30:57,310
- Miss Roz McKenzie.

595
00:31:00,068 --> 00:31:03,137
- Please, forgive me,
Miss Roz McKenzie.

596
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,931
Things are gonna
get better for you.

597
00:31:09,965 --> 00:31:11,172
I know it's all gonna work
out and if you need anything

598
00:31:11,206 --> 00:31:13,241
and I do mean anything,

599
00:31:14,965 --> 00:31:15,620
I'll be around.

600
00:31:20,103 --> 00:31:21,103
- I'll keep that in mind.

601
00:31:31,206 --> 00:31:33,551
[Noel sighs]

602
00:31:37,137 --> 00:31:40,275
[light holiday music]

603
00:31:46,206 --> 00:31:49,586
[footsteps clattering]

604
00:31:49,620 --> 00:31:51,068
- Oh, you're in a good mood.

605
00:31:51,103 --> 00:31:52,965
- I suppose so.

606
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,310
Breakfast?

607
00:31:54,344 --> 00:31:55,344
- No thanks. You know
what's in the bag.

608
00:31:55,379 --> 00:31:57,103
- Oh.

609
00:31:57,137 --> 00:32:01,448
Hey, I wanna apologize
for the other day.

610
00:32:01,482 --> 00:32:04,172
I shouldn't have snapped
at you and I'm sorry.

611
00:32:04,206 --> 00:32:04,689
- It's cool, Mom.

612
00:32:06,206 --> 00:32:06,965
- Don't be late.

613
00:32:10,068 --> 00:32:11,413
Oh. [chuckles]

614
00:32:11,448 --> 00:32:12,413
- Love you, Mom.

615
00:32:12,448 --> 00:32:13,689
- I love you too.

616
00:32:14,793 --> 00:32:16,172
You look so cute.

617
00:32:16,206 --> 00:32:17,344
- [Esta] [giggles] Thank you.

618
00:32:17,379 --> 00:32:18,413
- I'm a great shopper.

619
00:32:18,448 --> 00:32:21,689
[light upbeat music]

620
00:32:25,172 --> 00:32:28,206
[gentle holiday music]

621
00:32:36,689 --> 00:32:38,620
[door creaking]

622
00:32:38,655 --> 00:32:40,689
- Miss McKenzie,
you could come in.

623
00:32:40,724 --> 00:32:41,689
- Okay. Hi.

624
00:32:49,137 --> 00:32:50,379
Thank you so much.

625
00:33:02,551 --> 00:33:04,379
- You sure you
don't need a ride?

626
00:33:04,413 --> 00:33:06,724
- Nah, my mom's on her way.

627
00:33:06,758 --> 00:33:08,103
- Where's your mom been?

628
00:33:08,137 --> 00:33:09,758
- What do you mean, at work?

629
00:33:09,793 --> 00:33:11,310
- Nope, my sister
goes to the school

630
00:33:11,344 --> 00:33:13,241
that your mom works at.

631
00:33:13,275 --> 00:33:14,724
- Yeah, I know.

632
00:33:14,758 --> 00:33:17,482
- Your mom ain't been
there in like a week.

633
00:33:17,517 --> 00:33:19,344
- Wait, what?

634
00:33:19,379 --> 00:33:20,379
She's up every morning
cooking breakfast and-

635
00:33:20,413 --> 00:33:22,172
- Your mom's classes were split

636
00:33:22,206 --> 00:33:24,275
with the other
second grade class.

637
00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:27,172
Oh, your mom's coming
up. See you tomorrow.

638
00:33:32,068 --> 00:33:34,448
["Jingle Bells"]

639
00:33:38,344 --> 00:33:39,724
[upbeat music]

640
00:33:39,758 --> 00:33:41,034
- Got your popcorn.

641
00:33:41,068 --> 00:33:41,758
- Yay!

642
00:33:43,241 --> 00:33:46,034
[comical music]

643
00:33:47,206 --> 00:33:49,448
[dynamic music]

644
00:33:49,482 --> 00:33:52,586
You know, Shayda told me
something that blew my mind.

645
00:33:52,620 --> 00:33:55,103
- Let's talk.
[woman screaming]

646
00:33:55,137 --> 00:33:56,241
- You know she has
a little sister

647
00:33:56,275 --> 00:33:58,586
that goes to your school, right?

648
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:01,827
She says that you haven't
been there in a week.

649
00:34:03,482 --> 00:34:05,310
- Hm.

650
00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:06,241
- Isn't that crazy?

651
00:34:07,827 --> 00:34:09,482
She says that your
class got split

652
00:34:09,517 --> 00:34:11,275
into other second grade classes.

653
00:34:15,241 --> 00:34:16,413
[Roz sighs]

654
00:34:16,448 --> 00:34:18,482
Mom, isn't Shayda wrong?

655
00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:21,137
Right?

656
00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:25,344
[somber music]

657
00:34:25,379 --> 00:34:28,137
- Esta, I did not want
you to find out this way.

658
00:34:29,517 --> 00:34:32,206
- Mom, why aren't you at school?

659
00:34:32,241 --> 00:34:33,103
What's going on?

660
00:34:34,862 --> 00:34:36,551
- I got laid off.

661
00:34:36,586 --> 00:34:38,310
- What? When?

662
00:34:38,344 --> 00:34:40,137
- Last Friday.

663
00:34:40,172 --> 00:34:41,482
- But you're up every morning

664
00:34:41,517 --> 00:34:42,827
dressed like you're
going to work.

665
00:34:42,862 --> 00:34:45,137
Where have you been going?

666
00:34:45,172 --> 00:34:46,689
- I've been going on interviews

667
00:34:46,724 --> 00:34:48,827
and helping out at
the food pantry.

668
00:34:50,137 --> 00:34:50,827
- Wow, Mom.

669
00:34:53,827 --> 00:34:55,344
- Let me start
from the beginning.

670
00:34:57,379 --> 00:34:59,551
Remember when you asked why
I had all the classroom stuff

671
00:34:59,586 --> 00:35:00,517
in my car?

672
00:35:01,586 --> 00:35:03,655
- Yeah.

673
00:35:03,689 --> 00:35:05,241
You said that you had to
bring home some extra stuff.

674
00:35:05,275 --> 00:35:06,241
- It wasn't extra stuff.

675
00:35:07,896 --> 00:35:09,482
That was the day I got laid off.

676
00:35:09,517 --> 00:35:11,689
- No, no, no, no, no.

677
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:14,862
They can't do that to you.
You're a first year teacher.

678
00:35:14,896 --> 00:35:16,758
They said they didn't
have enough students

679
00:35:16,793 --> 00:35:19,206
to justify keeping
my position open.

680
00:35:19,241 --> 00:35:20,551
- But they did when
you first got it.

681
00:35:20,586 --> 00:35:22,310
Why is it different now?

682
00:35:22,344 --> 00:35:24,206
- I don't know, baby.

683
00:35:24,241 --> 00:35:27,551
It's just the, the drama of
working in public education.

684
00:35:27,586 --> 00:35:29,482
[light emotional music]

685
00:35:29,517 --> 00:35:31,379
- You're so calm about this.

686
00:35:31,413 --> 00:35:33,172
- Mm.
- How?

687
00:35:33,206 --> 00:35:37,379
- Well, I have to be, or
else I would be worrying

688
00:35:37,413 --> 00:35:40,241
and, and it would rub off
on you and you'd be worrying

689
00:35:40,275 --> 00:35:41,551
like you are now.

690
00:35:42,655 --> 00:35:44,241
It's gonna be okay, baby.

691
00:35:46,275 --> 00:35:47,862
We'll get through this. I
even had an interview today.

692
00:35:49,896 --> 00:35:50,862
- And how did that go?

693
00:35:50,896 --> 00:35:52,517
- It went really well.

694
00:35:52,551 --> 00:35:54,241
It went great.

695
00:35:54,275 --> 00:35:55,724
Haven't heard back
from the principal yet,

696
00:35:55,758 --> 00:35:58,344
but I should hear
something soon.

697
00:35:58,379 --> 00:36:00,275
Oh.

698
00:36:00,310 --> 00:36:00,965
Cry.

699
00:36:04,517 --> 00:36:06,206
- Do you really
believe that, Mom?

700
00:36:07,827 --> 00:36:09,448
Do you really believe
that we're just fine?

701
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,448
Do you really just tell
yourself that at night

702
00:36:12,482 --> 00:36:13,241
and actually believe it?

703
00:36:13,275 --> 00:36:13,931
- Esta.

704
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,275
Esta, I have to.

705
00:36:18,275 --> 00:36:18,931
I have to.

706
00:36:21,448 --> 00:36:23,448
Or else I'd be worrying about,

707
00:36:23,482 --> 00:36:25,689
about food and bills

708
00:36:25,724 --> 00:36:27,448
and things that we need

709
00:36:27,482 --> 00:36:29,896
and it'll be okay.

710
00:36:31,620 --> 00:36:33,586
We've gotta stay
positive about this.

711
00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:35,620
All right?

712
00:36:35,655 --> 00:36:39,448
- [sighs] No wonder why you
couldn't pay for the gymnastics.

713
00:36:39,482 --> 00:36:41,275
I feel awful stressing
you about it.

714
00:36:41,310 --> 00:36:42,793
- No, no.

715
00:36:42,827 --> 00:36:44,965
No, you deserve to
do what you want.

716
00:36:46,482 --> 00:36:48,413
And if you really wanna
take those classes,

717
00:36:48,448 --> 00:36:51,793
I'm okay with you
asking your dad.

718
00:36:51,827 --> 00:36:53,931
I know he won't have a
problem giving it to you.

719
00:36:56,275 --> 00:36:56,931
- Really?

720
00:36:56,965 --> 00:36:58,448
- Yeah.

721
00:36:58,482 --> 00:37:01,413
Yes, dry those tears.

722
00:37:01,448 --> 00:37:02,310
- Okay.

723
00:37:03,689 --> 00:37:05,034
I'll go call him.

724
00:37:05,068 --> 00:37:08,655
- Why don't you do that.

725
00:37:08,689 --> 00:37:11,620
[gentle somber music]

726
00:37:19,655 --> 00:37:22,689
[light upbeat music]

727
00:37:32,620 --> 00:37:34,379
- Hey, Mom.

728
00:37:34,413 --> 00:37:35,068
- Hey.
- Wanna take me

729
00:37:35,103 --> 00:37:36,689
to school today?

730
00:37:36,724 --> 00:37:38,827
- Uh, I can if you need me to.

731
00:37:38,862 --> 00:37:40,517
- [chuckles] Oh, I'm
just messing with you.

732
00:37:40,551 --> 00:37:41,689
I have a ride.

733
00:37:41,724 --> 00:37:43,000
What are you gonna be up to?

734
00:37:43,034 --> 00:37:44,793
- Oh, stuff.

735
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:47,517
Maybe plan out our
Christmas breakfast menu.

736
00:37:47,551 --> 00:37:49,034
Search for a little present.

737
00:37:49,068 --> 00:37:50,517
- Mom. I don't want anything.

738
00:37:50,551 --> 00:37:52,344
- Honey, yes, you do.

739
00:37:52,379 --> 00:37:54,620
- Okay, I want what
I told you before

740
00:37:54,655 --> 00:37:55,758
about our family.

741
00:37:55,793 --> 00:37:57,551
But don't spend any money.

742
00:38:00,551 --> 00:38:03,034
- Sweetie, I put a
little something aside

743
00:38:03,068 --> 00:38:05,551
for Christmas gifts, okay, Love?

744
00:38:05,586 --> 00:38:07,034
We don't have to
worry about that.

745
00:38:07,068 --> 00:38:08,931
- Mom, yes we do.

746
00:38:08,965 --> 00:38:11,551
You have to keep your
money for the real things.

747
00:38:11,586 --> 00:38:13,896
Don't you ever worry
about running out?

748
00:38:13,931 --> 00:38:15,620
- You let me worry
about the finances

749
00:38:15,655 --> 00:38:18,137
and you handle school, okay?

750
00:38:18,172 --> 00:38:18,827
- Okay.
[ringtone ringing]

751
00:38:18,862 --> 00:38:19,827
[horn honking]

752
00:38:19,862 --> 00:38:21,793
Oh, Shayda's outside.

753
00:38:21,827 --> 00:38:22,551
- Oh.
- I'll see you later, Mom.

754
00:38:22,586 --> 00:38:23,896
- Okay.
- Bye.

755
00:38:23,931 --> 00:38:25,413
- Bye, honey. Have a good day.

756
00:38:25,448 --> 00:38:26,068
- [Esta] You too.

757
00:38:33,655 --> 00:38:38,413
[keyboard clacking]
[light upbeat music]

758
00:38:52,172 --> 00:38:55,068
[message alert beeps]

759
00:38:59,103 --> 00:39:02,413
[gentle somber music]

760
00:39:04,689 --> 00:39:06,758
[Roz sighs]

761
00:39:21,137 --> 00:39:22,793
- Messing up my hard work?

762
00:39:22,827 --> 00:39:25,655
- Oh. No.

763
00:39:25,689 --> 00:39:26,482
Hi, Pastor.
[Noel chuckling]

764
00:39:26,517 --> 00:39:27,000
- Hi.

765
00:39:28,655 --> 00:39:30,482
- Christmas is just days away.

766
00:39:30,517 --> 00:39:33,137
- Yes, indeed it is.

767
00:39:33,172 --> 00:39:34,862
- Time flies too quickly.

768
00:39:37,827 --> 00:39:39,482
- Ah, so what's going on?

769
00:39:39,517 --> 00:39:40,103
- Same crap.

770
00:39:41,517 --> 00:39:42,413
Life.

771
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,034
Uh...
[Noel chuckles]

772
00:39:45,068 --> 00:39:47,655
Feel like I'm on a
hamster wheel sometimes

773
00:39:47,689 --> 00:39:48,862
just running in place.

774
00:39:50,862 --> 00:39:53,206
Do hamster wheels
ever go backwards?

775
00:39:53,241 --> 00:39:54,413
Sure feels like it.

776
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,758
You know I got laid off
from my job last week.

777
00:40:01,241 --> 00:40:02,655
And I've been
trying to interview

778
00:40:02,689 --> 00:40:03,758
for other teaching positions.

779
00:40:03,793 --> 00:40:05,103
I even had one on Friday.

780
00:40:05,137 --> 00:40:06,448
- Yeah.

781
00:40:06,482 --> 00:40:07,448
- I thought it went great.

782
00:40:09,517 --> 00:40:10,655
Thought for sure I'd get it.

783
00:40:11,965 --> 00:40:13,482
Then I get word this morning

784
00:40:13,517 --> 00:40:14,482
that they went
with someone else.

785
00:40:14,517 --> 00:40:15,482
- [Noel] [sighs] Oh.

786
00:40:15,517 --> 00:40:16,655
- So I just don't know.

787
00:40:16,689 --> 00:40:18,586
- Yeah, well, getting laid off.

788
00:40:18,620 --> 00:40:19,862
Unfortunately I know about that.

789
00:40:21,551 --> 00:40:23,689
I was laid off my first
year in education.

790
00:40:25,862 --> 00:40:27,482
- [Roz] You were in education?

791
00:40:27,517 --> 00:40:30,655
- Yeah. I was a teacher
for 10 years. [chuckles]

792
00:40:30,689 --> 00:40:32,482
I had third grade my first year

793
00:40:32,517 --> 00:40:35,517
and yeah, I got laid off,
you know, budget cuts.

794
00:40:35,551 --> 00:40:36,931
Then I got hired
at another school

795
00:40:36,965 --> 00:40:39,793
and had a fifth
grade for nine years.

796
00:40:39,827 --> 00:40:41,206
- I would've never guessed.

797
00:40:41,241 --> 00:40:43,793
- Oh, well, I kinda
stumbled into it.

798
00:40:43,827 --> 00:40:45,206
My mother was a teacher

799
00:40:45,241 --> 00:40:47,448
so I think I just
stayed on that path.

800
00:40:47,482 --> 00:40:49,689
[both chuckle]

801
00:40:49,724 --> 00:40:52,793
I, um, it was hard for me too,

802
00:40:52,827 --> 00:40:54,827
after they laid me off,

803
00:40:54,862 --> 00:40:57,448
so I started to question
if education was my calling

804
00:40:57,482 --> 00:40:59,448
and started focusing
on the philanthropy

805
00:40:59,482 --> 00:41:01,275
and ministry work.

806
00:41:01,310 --> 00:41:02,965
You know, the summer
they laid me off

807
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,862
I really started to struggle

808
00:41:04,896 --> 00:41:07,551
with wanting to
open my own church,

809
00:41:07,586 --> 00:41:12,000
being a minister or yes,
going back to education.

810
00:41:12,034 --> 00:41:13,724
- I take it you chose ministry?

811
00:41:13,758 --> 00:41:14,724
- No, actually both.

812
00:41:15,827 --> 00:41:17,586
Manage all my mission work

813
00:41:17,620 --> 00:41:18,172
and I didn't wanna
stop helping people.

814
00:41:19,931 --> 00:41:22,551
Think I went back to teaching

815
00:41:22,586 --> 00:41:24,862
because of that and
wanted to help children

816
00:41:24,896 --> 00:41:26,896
and keep them on the right path.

817
00:41:26,931 --> 00:41:28,689
- Yeah.

818
00:41:28,724 --> 00:41:30,206
I miss working so much.

819
00:41:31,551 --> 00:41:32,931
Just too much time

820
00:41:32,965 --> 00:41:35,241
to spin out of control
especially emotionally.

821
00:41:35,275 --> 00:41:37,551
- Yeah.

822
00:41:37,586 --> 00:41:39,689
- I've gotta keep a cool
head for my, my daughter.

823
00:41:41,103 --> 00:41:42,206
Don't want her absorbing
all this energy,

824
00:41:42,241 --> 00:41:43,551
but it's getting harder.

825
00:41:43,586 --> 00:41:46,172
- Well, I can only imagine.

826
00:41:46,206 --> 00:41:47,000
Does she know?

827
00:41:49,034 --> 00:41:51,551
- Uh, she found out before
I could break it to her.

828
00:41:51,586 --> 00:41:53,689
- Oh. No, how?

829
00:41:53,724 --> 00:41:58,482
- [chuckles] One of
her nosy little friends

830
00:41:59,586 --> 00:42:00,793
told her everything.

831
00:42:00,827 --> 00:42:03,137
[Noel sighs]

832
00:42:03,172 --> 00:42:06,758
- Oh, it's gonna take
time, but it will work out.

833
00:42:08,827 --> 00:42:10,241
- It'll work out?

834
00:42:10,275 --> 00:42:12,793
- Yes.
- [laughing] How?

835
00:42:12,827 --> 00:42:13,965
How?

836
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,793
I've got a teenage daughter

837
00:42:15,827 --> 00:42:18,103
who needs things,
lots of things.

838
00:42:18,137 --> 00:42:22,965
Legal fees, the ghosts
of student loans past.

839
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,896
Pastor Noel, it's
expensive to breathe.

840
00:42:24,931 --> 00:42:28,241
- Okay, Roz, I get it.

841
00:42:28,275 --> 00:42:29,206
We've all been there.

842
00:42:31,241 --> 00:42:34,620
But maybe you're looking
at this all the wrong way.

843
00:42:34,655 --> 00:42:36,896
- My eyes don't deceive me
when I open up the mail.

844
00:42:36,931 --> 00:42:39,034
- Yeah, but your
focus on how fast

845
00:42:39,068 --> 00:42:40,965
you need to get another
job might be wrong.

846
00:42:42,379 --> 00:42:43,965
[gentle emotional music]

847
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,758
Look, sometimes we
need to lose something

848
00:42:46,793 --> 00:42:50,034
to truly figure out what and
who we need in our lives.

849
00:42:53,827 --> 00:42:56,620
Good things are gonna
happen for you though.

850
00:43:21,448 --> 00:43:23,413
[Esta panting]

851
00:43:23,448 --> 00:43:25,000
- Daddy, oh my god, come in!
- Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

852
00:43:25,034 --> 00:43:26,862
- Come in!
- Hey!

853
00:43:26,896 --> 00:43:27,862
I got your message,
why are you rushing me

854
00:43:27,896 --> 00:43:29,206
over here like this?

855
00:43:29,241 --> 00:43:30,344
- Because Mom's not home.
- So?

856
00:43:30,379 --> 00:43:31,793
- Come on. I gotta talk to you.

857
00:43:31,827 --> 00:43:32,034
Come here!
- Oh ooh.

858
00:43:35,758 --> 00:43:36,724
Okay, baby girl,

859
00:43:38,068 --> 00:43:39,000
tell me what's going on.

860
00:43:40,379 --> 00:43:41,827
You in trouble or something?

861
00:43:41,862 --> 00:43:43,344
- No, Dad, gosh.

862
00:43:43,379 --> 00:43:45,000
- Then what is it?

863
00:43:46,862 --> 00:43:48,310
- I need money for
teenager things.

864
00:43:49,793 --> 00:43:50,655
- Money?

865
00:43:52,448 --> 00:43:54,724
You coulda called me and
told me that over the phone.

866
00:43:54,758 --> 00:43:56,413
- It's better to
happen in person

867
00:43:56,448 --> 00:43:58,413
because it's gotta happen
before Mom comes home.

868
00:43:58,448 --> 00:44:00,758
- Why are you so worried
about Mom coming home?

869
00:44:02,517 --> 00:44:05,034
- I need $2,000.

870
00:44:05,068 --> 00:44:06,931
- $2,000?

871
00:44:06,965 --> 00:44:11,034
[scoffs] Girl,
you talking crazy.

872
00:44:11,068 --> 00:44:12,896
You're too young to be
asking for money like that.

873
00:44:12,931 --> 00:44:14,379
What you need, bail
money or something?

874
00:44:14,413 --> 00:44:16,172
- You said you have an
account set up for me

875
00:44:16,206 --> 00:44:17,034
for whenever I need things,

876
00:44:17,068 --> 00:44:19,793
and well, I need things.

877
00:44:19,827 --> 00:44:21,896
- $2,000 worth of things?

878
00:44:21,931 --> 00:44:24,034
Uh uh.

879
00:44:24,068 --> 00:44:26,758
No, no, don't you try to hit
me with the big eyes trick.

880
00:44:26,793 --> 00:44:28,206
I'm not giving you $2,000

881
00:44:28,241 --> 00:44:29,931
unless you tell me
what's going on.

882
00:44:29,965 --> 00:44:30,793
- Mom lost her job.

883
00:44:32,103 --> 00:44:33,413
[Esta sighs]
- What?

884
00:44:34,172 --> 00:44:35,965
No.

885
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,413
- A friend told
me, but it's true.

886
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:39,793
A few weeks ago.

887
00:44:41,827 --> 00:44:45,068
I mean, who fires
someone before Christmas?

888
00:44:45,103 --> 00:44:46,793
- [sighs] Wait, so you saying

889
00:44:46,827 --> 00:44:48,103
she's been out of
work for weeks?

890
00:44:50,103 --> 00:44:52,241
- Yeah, but you can't
tell her that I told you.

891
00:44:52,275 --> 00:44:54,758
Just gimme the money
to give to her, okay?

892
00:44:54,793 --> 00:44:56,137
- 2000 bucks?

893
00:44:56,172 --> 00:44:57,482
And then what?

894
00:44:57,517 --> 00:44:59,241
You don't even get an allowance.

895
00:44:59,275 --> 00:45:01,068
Where you gonna magically
get $2,000 from?

896
00:45:01,103 --> 00:45:03,103
- She's struggling, Dad.

897
00:45:03,137 --> 00:45:04,103
You guys barely even talk

898
00:45:04,137 --> 00:45:06,137
so she ain't gonna ask you.

899
00:45:06,172 --> 00:45:07,448
This is the only way.

900
00:45:09,172 --> 00:45:11,482
- All right, wait,
look, calm down, okay?

901
00:45:11,517 --> 00:45:13,103
I'll handle it. Just
let me handle it.

902
00:45:13,137 --> 00:45:15,793
- No, no. You can't tell her.

903
00:45:17,310 --> 00:45:18,793
- It's okay, if
she says something,

904
00:45:18,827 --> 00:45:19,931
I'll take the heat for it.

905
00:45:19,965 --> 00:45:22,000
Don't worry about it, all right?

906
00:45:25,241 --> 00:45:26,206
[Dalton sighs]

907
00:45:26,241 --> 00:45:28,862
[door clattering]

908
00:45:28,896 --> 00:45:32,000
Okay, look, I'm gonna go
talk to her, all right?

909
00:45:33,137 --> 00:45:34,241
Calm down.

910
00:45:35,137 --> 00:45:37,000
Just finish your work.

911
00:45:37,034 --> 00:45:38,000
Stop stressing out.

912
00:45:39,586 --> 00:45:41,172
You're too young
for that, all right?

913
00:45:45,862 --> 00:45:48,172
- Dalton, what are you
doing in my house again?

914
00:45:49,241 --> 00:45:50,827
Esta let you in?

915
00:45:50,862 --> 00:45:52,103
- Yeah, she did.

916
00:45:55,068 --> 00:45:55,965
- She's home early.

917
00:45:58,137 --> 00:46:00,000
- She is. What about you?

918
00:46:00,034 --> 00:46:01,862
Are you okay?

919
00:46:03,068 --> 00:46:04,068
- Yeah, I'm fine.

920
00:46:04,103 --> 00:46:06,172
Just long day.

921
00:46:06,206 --> 00:46:07,551
Tired and hungry.

922
00:46:09,137 --> 00:46:10,448
- At work, right?

923
00:46:13,551 --> 00:46:15,620
- Why? You don't care.

924
00:46:15,655 --> 00:46:18,206
- [chuckles] Come on [drowned
out by cups clanking].

925
00:46:18,241 --> 00:46:20,310
You know that I care.

926
00:46:20,344 --> 00:46:23,034
Just can't turn feelings
off for somebody,

927
00:46:23,068 --> 00:46:24,896
especially after 14
years of marriage.

928
00:46:26,034 --> 00:46:27,551
- No? Try.

929
00:46:28,931 --> 00:46:30,551
- Try.

930
00:46:30,586 --> 00:46:33,379
So work, you said it
was crazy today, right?

931
00:46:34,931 --> 00:46:36,551
- The usual, but I'm good.

932
00:46:38,310 --> 00:46:40,068
- 'Cause it's funny,

933
00:46:40,103 --> 00:46:42,137
'cause I called
your school today.

934
00:46:42,172 --> 00:46:43,965
I wanted to talk
to you about Esta.

935
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:44,862
- She okay?

936
00:46:46,896 --> 00:46:47,896
- Esta is fine.

937
00:46:49,413 --> 00:46:51,517
But they told me that
you weren't there today.

938
00:46:51,551 --> 00:46:52,206
- So?

939
00:46:53,655 --> 00:46:54,310
- So?

940
00:46:56,275 --> 00:46:58,310
- I don't feel like playing
games with you, Dalton.

941
00:46:58,344 --> 00:46:59,517
- Well, I don't feel
like playing games

942
00:46:59,551 --> 00:47:00,586
with you either, Roz.

943
00:47:02,344 --> 00:47:05,034
Come on. I know you
got laid off of work.

944
00:47:05,068 --> 00:47:07,034
- Who told you
that? It's not true.

945
00:47:07,068 --> 00:47:09,000
- Are you, are you
gonna do this right now?

946
00:47:10,310 --> 00:47:11,206
Come on.

947
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,241
So you're gonna sit
up here and lie to me?

948
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,586
Talk to me, tell
me what's going on.

949
00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:19,275
- Fine.

950
00:47:19,310 --> 00:47:20,965
I got laid off a few weeks ago

951
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,034
and I've been lying
about going to work.

952
00:47:23,068 --> 00:47:25,206
There. You happy?

953
00:47:25,241 --> 00:47:27,275
So go ahead.

954
00:47:27,310 --> 00:47:29,620
Talk your trash, make your
insults, go right ahead.

955
00:47:29,655 --> 00:47:31,275
- Roz, I don't wanna insult you.

956
00:47:31,310 --> 00:47:33,068
I'm not gonna talk
trash about you.

957
00:47:33,103 --> 00:47:33,965
- That's hard to believe.
- Why do you think

958
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,034
I wanna do that?

959
00:47:36,620 --> 00:47:39,103
Roz, can you just cut
the tough girl act out

960
00:47:39,137 --> 00:47:42,275
for one second and let me
know what's going on with you?

961
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,137
You don't have to do
everything alone, okay?

962
00:47:45,172 --> 00:47:46,241
You're not superwoman.

963
00:47:46,275 --> 00:47:48,103
Stop it.

964
00:47:48,137 --> 00:47:51,000
- [chuckles] Are you
serious right now?

965
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:52,931
- [Dalton] Yeah, I'm serious.

966
00:47:52,965 --> 00:47:55,068
- No, Dalton, I know you
and you love to be right.

967
00:47:56,103 --> 00:47:57,448
- Come on. Roz.

968
00:47:59,172 --> 00:48:02,206
Listen, I'm serious, okay?

969
00:48:04,241 --> 00:48:06,172
To lose your job
the way that you did

970
00:48:06,206 --> 00:48:07,137
right before Christmas,

971
00:48:08,689 --> 00:48:10,206
I know this has to be
hard on you, all right,

972
00:48:10,241 --> 00:48:12,172
so just let me
know what you need.

973
00:48:12,206 --> 00:48:14,517
- Dalton, I don't
want your pity.

974
00:48:14,551 --> 00:48:17,758
I can handle this. I'll
find another job in no time.

975
00:48:17,793 --> 00:48:19,275
- Then why haven't
you found one yet?

976
00:48:19,310 --> 00:48:20,310
- I've been looking.

977
00:48:20,344 --> 00:48:23,034
But I can handle this on my own.

978
00:48:23,068 --> 00:48:26,448
- That's the point. It's
not about you, all right?

979
00:48:27,689 --> 00:48:28,344
Look at me.

980
00:48:30,344 --> 00:48:32,344
Esta's involved, okay?

981
00:48:34,172 --> 00:48:36,137
And that little girl is
worried sick about you.

982
00:48:36,172 --> 00:48:38,448
She's too young to be
stressing out like this.

983
00:48:38,482 --> 00:48:41,137
And she doesn't need to see
you scrapping and fighting

984
00:48:41,172 --> 00:48:43,655
trying to get things
together before Christmas.

985
00:48:43,689 --> 00:48:45,034
I don't wanna see that either.

986
00:48:46,586 --> 00:48:47,965
And regardless if you
believe me or not,

987
00:48:50,103 --> 00:48:52,379
you don't have to do
everything on your own, okay?

988
00:48:52,413 --> 00:48:54,655
So if you're not gonna
do it for yourself,

989
00:48:54,689 --> 00:48:57,000
then please at least
do it for Esta.

990
00:49:00,827 --> 00:49:01,689
- No.

991
00:49:03,379 --> 00:49:05,241
Nope. I don't want your money

992
00:49:05,275 --> 00:49:07,275
and I want you out of my house.

993
00:49:07,310 --> 00:49:08,172
- Roz, come on.

994
00:49:08,206 --> 00:49:09,448
- No, Dalton.

995
00:49:10,517 --> 00:49:11,379
Get out.

996
00:49:13,103 --> 00:49:14,448
- Can we please not
do this right now?

997
00:49:14,482 --> 00:49:16,827
- Oh, we're not
doing this right now.

998
00:49:16,862 --> 00:49:20,068
Take your coat.
[Dalton grunts]

999
00:49:20,103 --> 00:49:20,586
Get out.

1000
00:49:22,275 --> 00:49:25,275
- Regardless of how you feel,

1001
00:49:25,310 --> 00:49:27,241
the offer still stands.

1002
00:49:27,275 --> 00:49:28,724
I wanna help you.

1003
00:49:28,758 --> 00:49:29,413
- Goodbye.

1004
00:49:32,068 --> 00:49:32,724
Esta!

1005
00:49:32,758 --> 00:49:35,310
[tense music]

1006
00:49:35,344 --> 00:49:36,310
- Where's Dad.

1007
00:49:36,344 --> 00:49:37,413
- [Roz] I threw him out.

1008
00:49:37,448 --> 00:49:40,206
- Mom, why? He can help us.

1009
00:49:41,758 --> 00:49:42,379
- Somehow he knows
[somber music]

1010
00:49:42,413 --> 00:49:44,413
I got laid off.

1011
00:49:44,448 --> 00:49:45,482
He said he called the school
looking for you today,

1012
00:49:45,517 --> 00:49:47,068
but I don't think that's true.

1013
00:49:48,379 --> 00:49:50,000
- I told him, okay?

1014
00:49:51,275 --> 00:49:52,413
- Esta, why?

1015
00:49:52,448 --> 00:49:54,586
- Mom, he can help us.

1016
00:49:56,137 --> 00:49:57,448
Even if it's for a short time,

1017
00:49:58,448 --> 00:49:59,379
he can help us.

1018
00:49:59,413 --> 00:50:01,413
Dad won't care.

1019
00:50:01,448 --> 00:50:04,724
He's not trying to be mean
or trying to show off.

1020
00:50:04,758 --> 00:50:06,172
He's just trying
to take care of us

1021
00:50:06,206 --> 00:50:07,482
until you get back on your feet.

1022
00:50:07,517 --> 00:50:10,206
Mom, you gotta let him help us.

1023
00:50:10,241 --> 00:50:11,689
Please.
[tense music]

1024
00:50:11,724 --> 00:50:13,379
- Gotta think about,
this young lady.

1025
00:50:15,103 --> 00:50:17,413
But right now we need
to have a sit down

1026
00:50:17,448 --> 00:50:21,241
about what happens in this
house stays in this house.

1027
00:50:22,758 --> 00:50:26,655
Come on. Go.
[fingers snapping]

1028
00:50:41,241 --> 00:50:42,103
- Roz.

1029
00:50:43,413 --> 00:50:44,241
What happened?

1030
00:50:48,241 --> 00:50:48,724
Talk to me.

1031
00:50:50,137 --> 00:50:51,827
- Yesterday was not good.

1032
00:50:51,862 --> 00:50:52,517
He knows.

1033
00:50:54,241 --> 00:50:55,379
- About what, your
job situation?

1034
00:50:55,413 --> 00:50:57,241
- Yep.

1035
00:50:57,275 --> 00:50:59,241
- How? Did you tell him?

1036
00:50:59,275 --> 00:51:00,241
- No, my daughter did.

1037
00:51:02,137 --> 00:51:02,793
- I see.

1038
00:51:04,344 --> 00:51:05,517
Are you okay with that?

1039
00:51:05,551 --> 00:51:07,137
- No, I'm not okay with that.

1040
00:51:09,379 --> 00:51:11,448
[sighs] I understand
why she did it.

1041
00:51:11,482 --> 00:51:14,827
She's always worried
about me, us,

1042
00:51:14,862 --> 00:51:16,482
concerned about
what might happen,

1043
00:51:16,517 --> 00:51:18,310
but I can't help but
feel like I'm living

1044
00:51:18,344 --> 00:51:19,448
with a little mole.

1045
00:51:19,482 --> 00:51:21,310
- Mole? Why?

1046
00:51:21,344 --> 00:51:23,482
- [Roz] Because
he's my ex-husband.

1047
00:51:23,517 --> 00:51:25,896
He doesn't need to
know everything.

1048
00:51:25,931 --> 00:51:27,517
Hello, boundaries.

1049
00:51:27,551 --> 00:51:29,310
- Yeah, but whatever
you're going through

1050
00:51:29,344 --> 00:51:31,137
affects him because
of your daughter.

1051
00:51:31,172 --> 00:51:32,344
Don't you think he
has a right to know?

1052
00:51:32,379 --> 00:51:34,344
- No, it's not his business.

1053
00:51:34,379 --> 00:51:36,413
And, and, and get this,

1054
00:51:36,448 --> 00:51:38,517
he wants to help me.

1055
00:51:38,551 --> 00:51:40,551
My ex-husband wants to help me.

1056
00:51:40,586 --> 00:51:43,137
[scoffs] Can you believe that?

1057
00:51:43,172 --> 00:51:44,310
- [Noel] Wait a minute, Roz.

1058
00:51:44,344 --> 00:51:46,482
What is so wrong with that?

1059
00:51:46,517 --> 00:51:49,517
[Roz sighs]

1060
00:51:49,551 --> 00:51:51,827
- Why would he
wanna do that, huh?

1061
00:51:51,862 --> 00:51:53,620
- Maybe because he cares.

1062
00:51:53,655 --> 00:51:56,137
He doesn't wanna see
you in a bad situation.

1063
00:51:56,172 --> 00:51:57,310
- Oh, please.

1064
00:51:57,344 --> 00:51:58,482
He wants to stick it to me.

1065
00:51:58,517 --> 00:52:00,379
That's what he wants to do.

1066
00:52:00,413 --> 00:52:01,758
Wants to make it
seem like I can't,

1067
00:52:01,793 --> 00:52:04,689
I can't make it without
him, Mr. Auditor.

1068
00:52:04,724 --> 00:52:06,241
- Why do you think the only way

1069
00:52:06,275 --> 00:52:07,379
he wants to help
you is financially?

1070
00:52:07,413 --> 00:52:09,344
- How else would he help me?

1071
00:52:09,379 --> 00:52:10,448
- Emotional support.

1072
00:52:10,482 --> 00:52:12,241
[Roz scoffs]

1073
00:52:12,275 --> 00:52:14,896
Huh? Being there
for you and Esta?

1074
00:52:14,931 --> 00:52:18,379
Maybe, maybe he just
wants to be in your corner

1075
00:52:18,413 --> 00:52:20,206
while you're going through this.

1076
00:52:20,241 --> 00:52:21,551
- Nope.

1077
00:52:21,586 --> 00:52:24,862
No, he wants me to feel bad.

1078
00:52:24,896 --> 00:52:27,551
He wants to swoop
in like a savior.

1079
00:52:27,586 --> 00:52:29,827
He's been doing that the last
few years of our marriage.

1080
00:52:29,862 --> 00:52:32,413
I'm not gonna give him that
satisfaction, not anymore.

1081
00:52:33,931 --> 00:52:35,517
- Seems like you resent
him as a provider.

1082
00:52:35,551 --> 00:52:37,206
- What?

1083
00:52:37,241 --> 00:52:38,586
No.

1084
00:52:38,620 --> 00:52:40,379
No, he always tried
to make it seem

1085
00:52:40,413 --> 00:52:43,275
like I was wasteful and reckless

1086
00:52:43,310 --> 00:52:45,586
and he had to save me with
another balance transfer.

1087
00:52:48,344 --> 00:52:49,965
No, not anymore.

1088
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,137
- You know what?
- Done.

1089
00:52:52,413 --> 00:52:53,413
- With all due respect, Roz,

1090
00:52:55,413 --> 00:52:57,896
I think you have a few hangups

1091
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,310
and perhaps some projections

1092
00:53:00,344 --> 00:53:02,275
that come from your own actions.

1093
00:53:02,310 --> 00:53:04,482
What if you are looking at this

1094
00:53:04,517 --> 00:53:05,931
through the wrong lens?

1095
00:53:05,965 --> 00:53:07,586
- I have 20/20 vision, Pastor.

1096
00:53:08,482 --> 00:53:10,586
With all due respect.

1097
00:53:10,620 --> 00:53:13,275
- Look, your husband is
being concerned about you.

1098
00:53:13,310 --> 00:53:14,724
And he just wants to help

1099
00:53:14,758 --> 00:53:16,310
and it seems to me with
no strings attached.

1100
00:53:16,344 --> 00:53:17,275
- Why would he do that?

1101
00:53:18,827 --> 00:53:20,034
Hm?
- Because he still cares.

1102
00:53:20,068 --> 00:53:21,413
[Roz scoffs]

1103
00:53:21,448 --> 00:53:23,620
And he loves you.

1104
00:53:23,655 --> 00:53:26,275
And deep down I know
you know that I'm right.

1105
00:53:28,344 --> 00:53:30,344
If he didn't have
these feelings for you,

1106
00:53:30,379 --> 00:53:31,689
then he wouldn't have offered
to help you in any way.

1107
00:53:31,724 --> 00:53:33,379
Now, even you can admit that.

1108
00:53:34,724 --> 00:53:35,586
Yes?

1109
00:53:37,448 --> 00:53:40,241
[Noel sighs]

1110
00:53:40,275 --> 00:53:40,965
All right.

1111
00:53:42,517 --> 00:53:43,931
All right, all right.
[gentle somber music]

1112
00:53:43,965 --> 00:53:45,586
You don't have to
admit it, but, Roz,

1113
00:53:45,620 --> 00:53:47,965
don't be ashamed to
accept help from him.

1114
00:53:49,965 --> 00:53:51,827
Sometimes we have to
realize that not everyone

1115
00:53:51,862 --> 00:53:54,620
has an ulterior motive or
are out to stick it to us.

1116
00:53:56,379 --> 00:53:58,034
Think about it.

1117
00:53:58,068 --> 00:53:59,896
If the people who came
in here to get food

1118
00:53:59,931 --> 00:54:02,689
from this pantry were
too proud and too ashamed

1119
00:54:02,724 --> 00:54:04,482
to accept help from anyone,

1120
00:54:04,517 --> 00:54:05,896
they'd be out there
on the streets

1121
00:54:05,931 --> 00:54:08,000
doing God knows what
trying to survive.

1122
00:54:09,896 --> 00:54:13,344
Sometimes you have to just
let go of being proud.

1123
00:54:17,689 --> 00:54:20,000
[Noel sighs]

1124
00:54:22,517 --> 00:54:23,379
Talk to him.

1125
00:54:26,034 --> 00:54:28,517
And just talk to him

1126
00:54:28,551 --> 00:54:31,517
and see what help
he'll truly offer.

1127
00:54:33,517 --> 00:54:35,000
Roz, look at me.

1128
00:54:37,034 --> 00:54:37,724
Look at me.

1129
00:54:42,551 --> 00:54:43,689
You need this.

1130
00:54:58,620 --> 00:55:01,448
[chair rattling]

1131
00:55:06,758 --> 00:55:09,586
[bells jingling]

1132
00:55:13,620 --> 00:55:16,034
[light knocking]

1133
00:55:19,758 --> 00:55:20,724
- Hey.

1134
00:55:20,758 --> 00:55:22,758
- [Roz] May I come in?

1135
00:55:22,793 --> 00:55:24,344
- Yeah.
- I'd like to talk.

1136
00:55:34,482 --> 00:55:36,551
- I mean, you wanna
take your coat off or-

1137
00:55:36,586 --> 00:55:38,068
- Uh, I don't know.

1138
00:55:38,103 --> 00:55:39,000
Not, not yet.

1139
00:55:40,724 --> 00:55:43,448
Right now I just
need you to listen.

1140
00:55:43,482 --> 00:55:44,000
Can you do that?

1141
00:55:45,586 --> 00:55:46,379
- Yeah, I'm listening.

1142
00:55:46,413 --> 00:55:47,068
- Okay.

1143
00:55:48,793 --> 00:55:51,034
- First I just want to apologize

1144
00:55:51,068 --> 00:55:53,413
for how I reacted the other day.

1145
00:55:55,551 --> 00:55:56,068
- For which part?

1146
00:55:57,448 --> 00:55:58,344
- A good part of it.

1147
00:56:00,482 --> 00:56:02,482
But you gotta understand this.

1148
00:56:02,517 --> 00:56:06,448
How, how much it
might sting for my ex

1149
00:56:06,482 --> 00:56:08,620
to see me down and out.

1150
00:56:08,655 --> 00:56:11,103
- I wouldn't feel no
type of way about that.

1151
00:56:11,137 --> 00:56:13,000
- Yeah right.

1152
00:56:13,034 --> 00:56:15,793
- All right, maybe I would
just a little or something,

1153
00:56:15,827 --> 00:56:19,103
but I wanna apologize too.

1154
00:56:20,965 --> 00:56:23,517
'Cause I'm sorry for the
way that I came at you.

1155
00:56:23,551 --> 00:56:24,827
- Thank you.

1156
00:56:24,862 --> 00:56:25,655
- Yeah.
I just didn't want

1157
00:56:25,689 --> 00:56:27,482
you to know.

1158
00:56:27,517 --> 00:56:30,931
Didn't want anyone to
know, Esta included.

1159
00:56:32,137 --> 00:56:33,689
- That's my point.

1160
00:56:33,724 --> 00:56:35,517
Why would you even wanna
go through all that,

1161
00:56:35,551 --> 00:56:37,103
you know, alone when
you don't have to?

1162
00:56:38,620 --> 00:56:39,827
- You gotta understand this.

1163
00:56:39,862 --> 00:56:41,758
I need to go through this alone.

1164
00:56:41,793 --> 00:56:45,724
I can't have you bailing me
out of another financial jam.

1165
00:56:45,758 --> 00:56:48,137
God knows I didn't care for it
when we were married, Dalton.

1166
00:56:51,862 --> 00:56:53,034
- Is this some type of insult?

1167
00:56:54,724 --> 00:56:56,517
- Does it sound like one?

1168
00:56:56,551 --> 00:56:58,103
- Yeah, when you
say it like that.

1169
00:57:03,965 --> 00:57:07,551
Listen, you have to understand,

1170
00:57:07,586 --> 00:57:11,034
I didn't get you out
of financial jams

1171
00:57:11,068 --> 00:57:12,724
because I was trying
to belittle you

1172
00:57:12,758 --> 00:57:14,482
or make you feel like
less of a person.

1173
00:57:16,068 --> 00:57:18,862
I did it because
I care about you.

1174
00:57:18,896 --> 00:57:20,793
You're my wife.

1175
00:57:20,827 --> 00:57:23,275
I mean, my family.

1176
00:57:23,310 --> 00:57:24,931
I am supposed to
take care of you.

1177
00:57:26,965 --> 00:57:31,000
All right, I know I am,
I was, you were my wife.

1178
00:57:31,034 --> 00:57:31,896
Okay?
- But it made me feel

1179
00:57:31,931 --> 00:57:33,931
so small, Dalton.

1180
00:57:35,206 --> 00:57:37,068
Like, like you didn't trust me

1181
00:57:37,103 --> 00:57:39,896
to handle any
responsibility for anything.

1182
00:57:41,724 --> 00:57:45,172
Do you know, my dad used
to give me an allowance

1183
00:57:45,206 --> 00:57:47,689
and then hold it and
then ration it out.

1184
00:57:49,241 --> 00:57:50,862
Why would you give
someone something

1185
00:57:50,896 --> 00:57:52,206
if you're just gonna
control it, hm?

1186
00:57:52,241 --> 00:57:53,827
- Yeah.

1187
00:57:53,862 --> 00:57:56,172
- It was like he
didn't even trust me.

1188
00:57:56,206 --> 00:57:57,827
And all I wanted
was some ice cream.

1189
00:57:57,862 --> 00:57:59,827
[Dalton chuckles]

1190
00:57:59,862 --> 00:58:01,275
You didn't trust
me either, Dalton.

1191
00:58:02,620 --> 00:58:03,620
Admit it.

1192
00:58:03,655 --> 00:58:04,551
- Well...

1193
00:58:06,379 --> 00:58:07,758
Not gonna admit that,

1194
00:58:07,793 --> 00:58:09,896
but I will admit

1195
00:58:09,931 --> 00:58:13,068
that I let my business rollover

1196
00:58:13,103 --> 00:58:14,793
into our marriage a little bit.

1197
00:58:14,827 --> 00:58:16,793
- Yeah, Mr. Auditor.

1198
00:58:16,827 --> 00:58:20,965
- [laughing] So way to
go. [chuckles] Auditor.

1199
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,758
- Oh my gosh, I married my dad.

1200
00:58:23,793 --> 00:58:25,103
- Wait, whoa, whoa.

1201
00:58:25,137 --> 00:58:25,931
Slow down now.
- No, no, no.

1202
00:58:25,965 --> 00:58:27,793
You know what I mean

1203
00:58:27,827 --> 00:58:30,103
in a child psychology sense.
- Oh, right.

1204
00:58:30,137 --> 00:58:32,793
- But with you, it felt
like I wed the entire IRS.

1205
00:58:34,931 --> 00:58:37,241
- The IRS, right?

1206
00:58:37,275 --> 00:58:39,793
At least the reception
was a little exciting.

1207
00:58:39,827 --> 00:58:41,793
- Not one of your
people had any rhythm.

1208
00:58:43,379 --> 00:58:44,620
- Not an ounce.

1209
00:58:44,655 --> 00:58:47,275
[both chuckling]

1210
00:58:48,827 --> 00:58:49,655
So are you telling me

1211
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,275
you didn't want me to find out

1212
00:58:52,310 --> 00:58:53,965
about you losing your job

1213
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:54,758
because you thought
I was gonna treat you

1214
00:58:54,793 --> 00:58:56,724
like a spreadsheet?

1215
00:58:56,758 --> 00:58:59,068
- That, yeah.

1216
00:58:59,103 --> 00:59:03,034
And it just, it's not
your business, Dalton.

1217
00:59:03,068 --> 00:59:03,827
- It's none of my business?

1218
00:59:03,862 --> 00:59:04,689
- [Roz] No.

1219
00:59:07,758 --> 00:59:12,103
- Look, I need a drink
'cause you stressing me out.

1220
00:59:13,827 --> 00:59:15,655
[Dalton sighs]

1221
00:59:15,689 --> 00:59:17,137
- I need a drink too, 'cause
you're stressing me out.

1222
00:59:17,172 --> 00:59:18,827
- Well, I guess we
gonna be drinking.

1223
00:59:28,068 --> 00:59:29,103
It's none of your business?

1224
00:59:30,724 --> 00:59:31,241
Did you forget

1225
00:59:33,689 --> 00:59:37,034
about that little beautiful,
brown, big-eyed girl

1226
00:59:37,068 --> 00:59:38,034
that we have together?

1227
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,000
She is my business, okay?

1228
00:59:46,034 --> 00:59:49,103
You losing your job affects her.

1229
00:59:49,137 --> 00:59:52,862
So in turn, that
affects me, okay?

1230
00:59:52,896 --> 00:59:54,310
You missing out on checks,

1231
00:59:54,344 --> 00:59:55,724
next thing you know
you out on the street

1232
00:59:55,758 --> 00:59:57,000
with my daughter?

1233
00:59:57,034 --> 00:59:58,827
Uh uh.

1234
00:59:58,862 --> 00:59:59,862
I don't care what
we got going on,

1235
00:59:59,896 --> 01:00:01,310
the past or whatever,

1236
01:00:02,827 --> 01:00:03,655
we're here right now.

1237
01:00:05,379 --> 01:00:06,862
And you have to understand
something about me.

1238
01:00:06,896 --> 01:00:08,275
I will never let that happen.

1239
01:00:10,068 --> 01:00:11,965
- I understand that about you,

1240
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,034
but you have to understand
why you have to at least

1241
01:00:14,068 --> 01:00:16,000
let me try to handle this.

1242
01:00:16,034 --> 01:00:18,655
- [sighs] You will handle it.

1243
01:00:18,689 --> 01:00:20,344
You'll get another position.

1244
01:00:20,379 --> 01:00:21,034
Come on.

1245
01:00:22,344 --> 01:00:23,965
I've seen you struggle before

1246
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,034
but I also seen you
reach all your goals.

1247
01:00:27,068 --> 01:00:28,965
Just like you made
it through school

1248
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,862
when I was hitting you up
and all over your line.

1249
01:00:30,896 --> 01:00:31,793
Yeah.

1250
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,862
So you'll get it done,

1251
01:00:35,896 --> 01:00:37,034
but in the meantime-

1252
01:00:37,068 --> 01:00:38,241
- You still wanna help me?

1253
01:00:39,344 --> 01:00:41,310
- Yeah. I do.

1254
01:00:44,068 --> 01:00:45,862
Christmas is in what, nine days?

1255
01:00:47,448 --> 01:00:49,034
Not 'bout to have our
daughter stressing out

1256
01:00:49,068 --> 01:00:50,275
over me and you
and our problems.

1257
01:00:52,689 --> 01:00:55,689
Why can't you stop being
so proud for one minute?

1258
01:00:55,724 --> 01:00:58,827
- I'm not being proud.
I'm being cautious.

1259
01:01:00,034 --> 01:01:04,965
- Cautious? Cautious for what?

1260
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,206
What are you being
cautious for? Don't.

1261
01:01:07,241 --> 01:01:09,137
Why can't you just take it as a,

1262
01:01:09,172 --> 01:01:11,758
a genuine offer, you know?

1263
01:01:14,068 --> 01:01:16,000
Good guy in the
spirit of Christmas.

1264
01:01:16,034 --> 01:01:17,068
Does that work for you?

1265
01:01:20,068 --> 01:01:22,241
Please, just take it
as a genuine offer

1266
01:01:22,275 --> 01:01:25,724
'cause I don't want anything
from you in return, all right?

1267
01:01:27,793 --> 01:01:28,793
All right, I'm lying.

1268
01:01:30,413 --> 01:01:31,931
I do want something
from you in return.

1269
01:01:31,965 --> 01:01:32,862
- What's that?

1270
01:01:34,827 --> 01:01:37,103
- Can you please just not see
this as a rescue operation

1271
01:01:38,896 --> 01:01:39,896
and acknowledged the only reason

1272
01:01:39,931 --> 01:01:41,724
why I'm doing this

1273
01:01:41,758 --> 01:01:43,793
is because I still
really care about you.

1274
01:01:48,172 --> 01:01:49,034
- Okay.

1275
01:01:50,448 --> 01:01:51,931
Okay. Deal.

1276
01:01:51,965 --> 01:01:52,413
- [Dalton] Deal.

1277
01:01:54,275 --> 01:01:57,172
- I um, I really
appreciate this.

1278
01:01:58,758 --> 01:02:00,172
- [Dalton] Don't worry about it.

1279
01:02:00,206 --> 01:02:01,482
- And I promise
I'll pay you back.

1280
01:02:03,862 --> 01:02:05,448
- You don't have to
pay anything back.

1281
01:02:07,896 --> 01:02:09,793
You know the account we opened
for the house in emergencies?

1282
01:02:11,310 --> 01:02:13,551
You can just pull
the money from there.

1283
01:02:13,586 --> 01:02:16,448
- You didn't scoop your
portion out right away?

1284
01:02:16,482 --> 01:02:17,965
'Cause I did.

1285
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,931
- Trust me, I know you did.

1286
01:02:19,965 --> 01:02:21,551
[Roz chuckles]

1287
01:02:21,586 --> 01:02:23,103
And no, the money
is still there.

1288
01:02:23,137 --> 01:02:24,827
I left it for emergencies

1289
01:02:24,862 --> 01:02:27,103
for Esta and you.

1290
01:02:29,482 --> 01:02:30,448
- Good on you.

1291
01:02:30,482 --> 01:02:32,482
- Yeah.
- Wow.

1292
01:02:33,896 --> 01:02:35,137
- Speaking of Esta,

1293
01:02:36,896 --> 01:02:39,275
what are you getting
that girl for Christmas?

1294
01:02:39,310 --> 01:02:41,551
- I asked her what she
wanted the other day

1295
01:02:41,586 --> 01:02:44,172
and she said she didn't
want anything I had to buy.

1296
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,931
However, she did
mention one thing.

1297
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,551
She wanted us to be-

1298
01:02:50,586 --> 01:02:52,275
- [Bothy] Back together-

1299
01:02:52,310 --> 01:02:54,827
- For the holidays, right.
- Yeah. Mm hm.

1300
01:02:54,862 --> 01:02:56,965
- [sighs] That's our baby girl.

1301
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,827
- [Roz] Yep.

1302
01:02:58,862 --> 01:03:00,931
- Do you know when
you got laid off,

1303
01:03:00,965 --> 01:03:02,482
she asked me for $2,000.

1304
01:03:04,206 --> 01:03:06,517
She said it was for
personal things.

1305
01:03:06,551 --> 01:03:07,896
- [laughing] Really?

1306
01:03:07,931 --> 01:03:09,551
- Really.

1307
01:03:09,586 --> 01:03:11,517
She was gonna take
all of that money

1308
01:03:11,551 --> 01:03:13,034
and she was gonna
give it to you.

1309
01:03:14,068 --> 01:03:15,551
- Hm.

1310
01:03:15,586 --> 01:03:17,275
She's something else. [chuckles]

1311
01:03:17,310 --> 01:03:19,827
- Yes. She is something else.

1312
01:03:21,103 --> 01:03:22,000
Just like her mother.

1313
01:03:28,034 --> 01:03:29,896
You know what?

1314
01:03:29,931 --> 01:03:34,068
Maybe we can give her what
she wants for Christmas.

1315
01:03:34,103 --> 01:03:38,034
Maybe we can spend time
together as a family.

1316
01:03:40,206 --> 01:03:41,379
- Maybe you're right.

1317
01:03:43,068 --> 01:03:44,620
She's a good girl.

1318
01:03:44,655 --> 01:03:46,931
- [Dalton] Right.

1319
01:03:46,965 --> 01:03:48,034
- We certainly put her through
the ringer with our issues.

1320
01:03:48,068 --> 01:03:50,206
[light upbeat music]

1321
01:03:50,241 --> 01:03:52,482
I think that'll,
that'll be just fine.

1322
01:03:54,655 --> 01:03:55,862
- I think it'll be great.

1323
01:03:59,137 --> 01:04:00,068
- I should go.

1324
01:04:03,482 --> 01:04:06,000
Yeah.
- Gonna rush out, bad?

1325
01:04:06,034 --> 01:04:08,965
- You know, I gotta go do
something about my life.

1326
01:04:15,137 --> 01:04:15,655
- [Dalton] You sure?

1327
01:04:15,689 --> 01:04:16,586
- Yeah.

1328
01:04:19,137 --> 01:04:21,689
And, and, and you
know, whatever I use,

1329
01:04:21,724 --> 01:04:23,103
I'll put back.

1330
01:04:24,724 --> 01:04:26,103
- You don't owe
me anything, Roz.

1331
01:04:27,724 --> 01:04:30,103
- [Roz] Yeah, and,
and I'll call you

1332
01:04:30,137 --> 01:04:32,241
and figure out where
we spend Christmas.

1333
01:04:32,275 --> 01:04:34,931
- Hm. I really appreciate that.

1334
01:04:36,275 --> 01:04:38,620
- Hm. Okay.

1335
01:04:42,103 --> 01:04:44,310
I guess I should get outta here.

1336
01:04:46,655 --> 01:04:49,034
Okay, talk to you later. Bye.

1337
01:04:51,965 --> 01:04:53,241
[dramatic music]

1338
01:04:53,275 --> 01:04:55,586
[Roz sighs]

1339
01:04:58,137 --> 01:05:00,689
[Dalton sighs]

1340
01:05:02,137 --> 01:05:04,655
[dogs barking]

1341
01:05:10,344 --> 01:05:12,103
[Roz sighs]

1342
01:05:12,137 --> 01:05:14,620
[Roz laughing]

1343
01:05:19,034 --> 01:05:24,000
Yeah.

1344
01:05:25,034 --> 01:05:26,655
[Roz sighs]

1345
01:05:33,068 --> 01:05:34,344
[comical music]

1346
01:05:34,379 --> 01:05:36,000
- [Woman] Wah hoo!

1347
01:05:37,379 --> 01:05:38,310
[woman shouting]
- Mom.

1348
01:05:38,344 --> 01:05:40,103
- [Roz] I went to see your dad.

1349
01:05:40,137 --> 01:05:42,103
- Really? Uh oh.

1350
01:05:42,137 --> 01:05:42,965
- Don't worry.

1351
01:05:44,103 --> 01:05:45,206
It wasn't bad.

1352
01:05:46,172 --> 01:05:48,000
I apologized to him.

1353
01:05:48,034 --> 01:05:49,000
- [chuckles] Say what?

1354
01:05:49,034 --> 01:05:50,655
- Yeah.

1355
01:05:50,689 --> 01:05:54,000
And he told me about the
$2,000 you asked for.

1356
01:05:55,172 --> 01:05:56,206
You're crazy for that.

1357
01:05:57,137 --> 01:05:59,137
But thank you.

1358
01:05:59,172 --> 01:06:00,068
- You're welcome, Mom.

1359
01:06:02,206 --> 01:06:04,724
So are you gonna
let Dad help us?

1360
01:06:04,758 --> 01:06:05,413
- I am.

1361
01:06:07,413 --> 01:06:09,413
- Really? So we don't
have to struggle anymore.

1362
01:06:09,448 --> 01:06:12,310
- What did I tell you
about that word struggle?

1363
01:06:12,344 --> 01:06:14,586
We just hit a bumpy patch.

1364
01:06:14,620 --> 01:06:18,482
He's gonna help smooth it
out a bit, temporarily.

1365
01:06:18,517 --> 01:06:21,275
- See, Dad isn't so bad.

1366
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:25,103
- I never said he
was, not to you.

1367
01:06:25,137 --> 01:06:27,724
- You know, Mom, he
still cares about you.

1368
01:06:29,103 --> 01:06:29,758
Do you know that?

1369
01:06:31,275 --> 01:06:32,517
- He said something like that.

1370
01:06:34,310 --> 01:06:35,758
- Do you still care about him?

1371
01:06:37,793 --> 01:06:39,448
- All you need to know, my dear,

1372
01:06:39,482 --> 01:06:42,413
is that our Christmas
plans are back on track.

1373
01:06:43,241 --> 01:06:45,275
Yep.

1374
01:06:45,310 --> 01:06:47,310
We're gonna spend Christmas
together like a family.

1375
01:06:47,344 --> 01:06:49,172
Just like you asked.

1376
01:06:49,206 --> 01:06:50,413
- Because we still
are a family, Mom.

1377
01:06:52,206 --> 01:06:53,586
It doesn't matter if
you guys split up.

1378
01:06:53,620 --> 01:06:55,241
Which, why did you
guys split up again?

1379
01:06:56,448 --> 01:06:57,724
- Why did we split up?

1380
01:07:00,137 --> 01:07:01,758
Hm.

1381
01:07:01,793 --> 01:07:04,172
- Y'all just need
to get it together.

1382
01:07:04,206 --> 01:07:05,310
[upbeat music]
- You just need to stay

1383
01:07:05,344 --> 01:07:06,413
out of grown folks' business.

1384
01:07:06,448 --> 01:07:09,137
[Esta chuckles]

1385
01:07:14,310 --> 01:07:15,310
Yes! Go Dad!

1386
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:19,896
[Esta giggling]

1387
01:07:19,931 --> 01:07:23,310
[slow upbeat jazzy music]

1388
01:07:57,344 --> 01:07:59,724
[lively music]

1389
01:08:10,413 --> 01:08:12,827
[phone ringing]

1390
01:08:14,586 --> 01:08:15,482
- Hello?

1391
01:08:18,413 --> 01:08:20,172
Yes, this is Roz McKenzie.

1392
01:08:22,379 --> 01:08:25,482
Oh no. It's not too late.
[tense music]

1393
01:08:25,517 --> 01:08:26,379
Tomorrow.

1394
01:08:28,344 --> 01:08:30,586
Yeah. 1:15?

1395
01:08:31,655 --> 01:08:33,896
[Roz chuckles]

1396
01:08:33,931 --> 01:08:34,827
I'll see you then.

1397
01:08:37,482 --> 01:08:38,448
Woo!

1398
01:08:38,482 --> 01:08:40,241
[lively upbeat music]

1399
01:08:40,275 --> 01:08:41,379
- [Esta] Oh my gosh,
Mom, what's going on?

1400
01:08:41,413 --> 01:08:42,724
- I just got a job interview

1401
01:08:42,758 --> 01:08:43,551
for tomorrow, baby.
- For real?

1402
01:08:43,586 --> 01:08:45,379
- Yes, for real.

1403
01:08:45,413 --> 01:08:46,206
Oh, Esta, I feel like
this could be it.

1404
01:08:46,241 --> 01:08:47,379
It has to be.

1405
01:08:47,413 --> 01:08:48,206
- I really hope you get it, Mom.

1406
01:08:48,241 --> 01:08:49,689
- Me too.

1407
01:08:49,724 --> 01:08:51,551
What should you wear?
- I gotta find something

1408
01:08:51,586 --> 01:08:55,206
to really wow this
principal for tomorrow.

1409
01:08:55,241 --> 01:08:55,896
Oh, I...

1410
01:09:00,448 --> 01:09:01,551
Which one?

1411
01:09:01,586 --> 01:09:02,586
- The black blazer is fine.

1412
01:09:02,620 --> 01:09:03,482
- Yep.

1413
01:09:06,068 --> 01:09:08,275
- Well, Roz, it's
been a pleasure

1414
01:09:08,310 --> 01:09:10,586
spending this time
with you today.

1415
01:09:10,620 --> 01:09:13,413
You'll hear from us one
way or the other, okay?

1416
01:09:13,448 --> 01:09:16,241
- Okay. Sounds good.

1417
01:09:16,275 --> 01:09:17,689
- But, you know what, wait.

1418
01:09:17,724 --> 01:09:19,448
Let me show you around.

1419
01:09:19,482 --> 01:09:20,586
[gentle music]

1420
01:09:20,620 --> 01:09:21,931
- I'd love to see the school.

1421
01:09:23,310 --> 01:09:25,586
[upbeat music]

1422
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,896
- Well, thank you, Sophie.

1423
01:09:57,931 --> 01:09:59,448
[indistinct speaking]
[light knocking]

1424
01:09:59,482 --> 01:10:01,275
Oh, we'll get back with you.

1425
01:10:02,482 --> 01:10:03,379
- Hello, Pastor.

1426
01:10:03,413 --> 01:10:04,965
- Roz, hello.

1427
01:10:06,758 --> 01:10:09,448
Wow, you look so much
more happier today.

1428
01:10:09,482 --> 01:10:11,793
- That's because for
once I really am.

1429
01:10:11,827 --> 01:10:14,448
I just came from an
incredible job interview,

1430
01:10:14,482 --> 01:10:17,275
second graders, right before
they turn into gremlins.

1431
01:10:17,310 --> 01:10:20,620
- [laughing] Oh,
that is good, Roz.

1432
01:10:20,655 --> 01:10:23,793
You know that position
is yours. Accept it.

1433
01:10:23,827 --> 01:10:25,827
- Oh, the principal said
she had one more interview

1434
01:10:25,862 --> 01:10:27,620
to do that day and
she'll let me know

1435
01:10:27,655 --> 01:10:29,275
first thing tomorrow morning.

1436
01:10:29,310 --> 01:10:31,275
- Yeah, well, she's
going to hire you.

1437
01:10:32,655 --> 01:10:34,413
- How can you be so sure?

1438
01:10:34,448 --> 01:10:35,620
- I just know.

1439
01:10:38,068 --> 01:10:38,862
- Thank you.

1440
01:10:40,620 --> 01:10:44,689
You know, feels odd when
I'm in your presence,

1441
01:10:44,724 --> 01:10:46,482
almost like you know me

1442
01:10:46,517 --> 01:10:47,965
and what's going to
happen in my life.

1443
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:48,620
- [Noel] Ah.

1444
01:10:48,655 --> 01:10:50,034
- You a psychic?

1445
01:10:50,068 --> 01:10:51,551
- [laughing] No.

1446
01:10:53,586 --> 01:10:56,310
No, no, I just think that if
it's the right thing for you,

1447
01:10:56,344 --> 01:10:56,931
then it'll happen.

1448
01:10:59,344 --> 01:11:01,482
I mean, look at me, I am a
testament to that statement.

1449
01:11:01,517 --> 01:11:02,344
- Yeah.

1450
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,379
- By the way, how things
go with you and Dalton?

1451
01:11:08,413 --> 01:11:12,655
- Oh, we worked
out the help thing.

1452
01:11:12,689 --> 01:11:15,793
I'm going to accept his offer.
Not gonna fuss about it.

1453
01:11:15,827 --> 01:11:17,931
- Because he still
cares deeply for you?

1454
01:11:20,724 --> 01:11:23,620
You ever wonder why the
two of you got a divorce

1455
01:11:23,655 --> 01:11:26,482
when you clearly
still love each other?

1456
01:11:27,689 --> 01:11:29,517
- How do you know these things?

1457
01:11:29,551 --> 01:11:30,827
- I mean, love is love, right?

1458
01:11:30,862 --> 01:11:34,793
- [chuckles] Well, I guess so.

1459
01:11:37,034 --> 01:11:39,689
Honestly, sometimes I do
wonder about the divorce

1460
01:11:39,724 --> 01:11:42,689
and if I acted too hastily.

1461
01:11:42,724 --> 01:11:44,034
I don't know.

1462
01:11:44,068 --> 01:11:46,413
- Ah, yes, you did. [chuckles]

1463
01:11:46,448 --> 01:11:48,482
But it's okay.

1464
01:11:48,517 --> 01:11:50,931
He gets it now and so do you.

1465
01:11:53,551 --> 01:11:55,448
Now after you work
out the budget

1466
01:11:55,482 --> 01:11:57,586
and figure out which of the
finances are a priority,

1467
01:11:57,620 --> 01:11:59,517
you will develop a tool

1468
01:11:59,551 --> 01:12:02,137
to be more savvy
with your finances.

1469
01:12:02,172 --> 01:12:03,862
- You might be on
to something there.

1470
01:12:05,793 --> 01:12:06,724
What do you know about that job

1471
01:12:06,758 --> 01:12:08,413
I just interviewed for?

1472
01:12:08,448 --> 01:12:10,758
[gentle music]

1473
01:12:11,793 --> 01:12:13,413
- Only that it's yours.

1474
01:12:15,068 --> 01:12:17,551
[Roz chuckles]

1475
01:12:19,724 --> 01:12:22,517
["Jingle Bells"]

1476
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:33,620
- Hm. Time for
another grocery run.

1477
01:12:36,896 --> 01:12:39,482
- Mom, your phone
keeps vibrating.

1478
01:12:39,517 --> 01:12:42,034
Someone must really trying
to get in contact with you.

1479
01:12:42,068 --> 01:12:44,793
- Whoa, these are
school system numbers.

1480
01:12:44,827 --> 01:12:46,586
- [chuckles] Two? Go, Mom.

1481
01:12:46,620 --> 01:12:48,896
[Roz chuckles]
[tense music]

1482
01:12:48,931 --> 01:12:50,793
- [Ms. Mosley] Good
morning, Ms. McKenzie.

1483
01:12:50,827 --> 01:12:53,586
This is Ms. Mosley calling
on behalf of Mrs. Austin.

1484
01:12:53,620 --> 01:12:55,034
If you have not accepted
[light upbeat music]

1485
01:12:55,068 --> 01:12:56,724
another position,
she was wondering

1486
01:12:56,758 --> 01:12:58,724
if you would like
to return to work.

1487
01:12:58,758 --> 01:13:00,931
- Mom, you got your job back!

1488
01:13:02,482 --> 01:13:03,655
- Whoa.

1489
01:13:03,689 --> 01:13:05,448
That is unexpected.

1490
01:13:05,482 --> 01:13:07,103
- Sure is.

1491
01:13:07,137 --> 01:13:08,793
I mean, they put you
all through this mess

1492
01:13:08,827 --> 01:13:09,758
only to want you back.

1493
01:13:09,793 --> 01:13:10,896
Who does that?

1494
01:13:10,931 --> 01:13:12,862
- Shh, shh, there's another one.

1495
01:13:12,896 --> 01:13:14,586
- [Miss Miller]
Hello, Mrs. McKenzie.

1496
01:13:14,620 --> 01:13:16,482
This is Miss Miller
calling you back

1497
01:13:16,517 --> 01:13:18,034
in regards to the interview.

1498
01:13:18,068 --> 01:13:20,827
After reviewing all of
the other candidates,

1499
01:13:20,862 --> 01:13:23,689
it would be my honor to
offer you the position.

1500
01:13:23,724 --> 01:13:25,000
- [Both] Oh my gosh!

1501
01:13:25,034 --> 01:13:26,620
- Oh!
- If you could call me

1502
01:13:26,655 --> 01:13:29,827
back today, it would
be greatly appreciated.

1503
01:13:29,862 --> 01:13:32,586
Thank you. And I hope to
hear from you very soon.

1504
01:13:32,620 --> 01:13:35,689
- Oh my gosh, Mom, you got
two jobs to choose from.

1505
01:13:35,724 --> 01:13:37,827
Whoa. What are you gonna doing?

1506
01:13:37,862 --> 01:13:39,827
- I'm gonna sit down
before I pass out.

1507
01:13:39,862 --> 01:13:41,689
[Esta chuckling]

1508
01:13:41,724 --> 01:13:44,517
- So Mom, we don't have
to worry anymore, right?

1509
01:13:44,551 --> 01:13:46,551
We can just enjoy our Christmas

1510
01:13:46,586 --> 01:13:48,482
and you don't have to
stress about finding a job.

1511
01:13:48,517 --> 01:13:50,103
- Esta, this is
the best news ever.

1512
01:13:50,137 --> 01:13:51,758
- [chuckles] Right?

1513
01:13:51,793 --> 01:13:53,827
And well, if I had
to make the decision,

1514
01:13:53,862 --> 01:13:55,206
I already know what
I would choose.

1515
01:13:55,241 --> 01:13:56,758
- Oh yeah?

1516
01:13:56,793 --> 01:13:57,758
- It's not easy for you?

1517
01:13:58,827 --> 01:14:02,724
- Well, it's 50/50, maybe 90/10.

1518
01:14:02,758 --> 01:14:06,034
Do I wanna go back to a
school that laid me off?

1519
01:14:06,068 --> 01:14:07,827
That principal didn't
even have the decency

1520
01:14:07,862 --> 01:14:09,793
to tell me to my face.

1521
01:14:09,827 --> 01:14:11,931
- Oh, are you serious?

1522
01:14:11,965 --> 01:14:13,931
- She left a note in my mailbox.

1523
01:14:13,965 --> 01:14:16,034
- [sighs] Wow. That's cold.

1524
01:14:16,068 --> 01:14:17,724
That school would
never see my face again

1525
01:14:17,758 --> 01:14:19,517
unless I was truly desperate.

1526
01:14:19,551 --> 01:14:21,000
- And we are never
desperate, honey.

1527
01:14:23,896 --> 01:14:25,551
You're not even gonna toast it?

1528
01:14:25,586 --> 01:14:26,482
- Nope.

1529
01:14:28,724 --> 01:14:30,517
- Let me call them back
before they give my job away.

1530
01:14:30,551 --> 01:14:31,172
- Yep.

1531
01:14:40,793 --> 01:14:43,103
- Hi, Principal Miller please.

1532
01:14:44,758 --> 01:14:46,551
Hi, this is Roz McKenzie.

1533
01:14:48,068 --> 01:14:49,758
Miss Miller, about
that job offer.

1534
01:14:51,310 --> 01:14:54,689
I absolutely accept.
[Esta giggling]

1535
01:14:54,724 --> 01:14:55,586
Oh, sure.

1536
01:14:57,758 --> 01:14:58,793
See you soon.

1537
01:14:58,827 --> 01:14:59,620
[Esta giggling]

1538
01:14:59,655 --> 01:15:01,000
Bye.

1539
01:15:01,034 --> 01:15:04,275
[both shouting and laughing]

1540
01:15:06,827 --> 01:15:08,896
[Esta laughing]

1541
01:15:08,931 --> 01:15:09,793
Oh.

1542
01:15:12,620 --> 01:15:15,620
[gentle holiday music]

1543
01:15:22,689 --> 01:15:25,551
[slow gentle music]

1544
01:16:24,896 --> 01:16:28,034
[footsteps thudding]

1545
01:16:28,068 --> 01:16:29,620
- Ah, hello, Roz.

1546
01:16:30,931 --> 01:16:33,137
- [chuckles] How do you do that?

1547
01:16:33,172 --> 01:16:35,310
- [chuckles] Ah, it's just
a little trick I learned

1548
01:16:35,344 --> 01:16:36,862
over the years.

1549
01:16:36,896 --> 01:16:37,965
- It's for you.

1550
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,000
- Oh. [chuckles]

1551
01:16:40,034 --> 01:16:41,862
Thanks for the gift.

1552
01:16:41,896 --> 01:16:43,310
- It's my pleasure.
You're welcome.

1553
01:16:44,827 --> 01:16:47,000
- Oh, you are so different now.

1554
01:16:47,034 --> 01:16:48,310
- Hm.

1555
01:16:48,344 --> 01:16:49,862
- You're in a better place.

1556
01:16:49,896 --> 01:16:50,689
- You got that right.

1557
01:16:50,724 --> 01:16:51,862
[Noel chuckling]

1558
01:16:51,896 --> 01:16:53,275
- I got the job. [chuckles]

1559
01:16:53,310 --> 01:16:55,689
- Oh, I knew you
would. [chuckles]

1560
01:16:55,724 --> 01:16:57,103
- You know what's crazy

1561
01:16:57,137 --> 01:17:00,724
is that I wanted to cry
today I was so happy,

1562
01:17:00,758 --> 01:17:01,896
but I contained myself.

1563
01:17:03,068 --> 01:17:04,379
Feels great to be back.

1564
01:17:04,413 --> 01:17:07,482
- Yeah. I am so
happy for you, Roz.

1565
01:17:07,517 --> 01:17:09,344
- The crazy thing is,

1566
01:17:09,379 --> 01:17:11,931
is that the clerk from my old
school called the same day

1567
01:17:11,965 --> 01:17:13,413
the new principal called.

1568
01:17:13,448 --> 01:17:15,931
They wanna give me
my old job back.

1569
01:17:15,965 --> 01:17:18,068
I'm not going back to
a place that let me go.

1570
01:17:18,103 --> 01:17:20,034
- I'm glad.
- [Roz] Yeah.

1571
01:17:20,068 --> 01:17:22,724
- I told you that if it's
meant to be you'll get it.

1572
01:17:22,758 --> 01:17:24,931
- You sure did. [chuckles]

1573
01:17:26,793 --> 01:17:28,241
- Does this mean

1574
01:17:28,275 --> 01:17:30,310
I'm not gonna see you
around here anymore?

1575
01:17:31,413 --> 01:17:33,206
- Oh, no.

1576
01:17:33,241 --> 01:17:36,034
No, I definitely wanna continue
my volunteer work here.

1577
01:17:37,793 --> 01:17:39,034
I wanna help you
continue this pantry

1578
01:17:39,068 --> 01:17:40,068
throughout the whole year.

1579
01:17:40,103 --> 01:17:42,724
- Oh, that's perfect.

1580
01:17:42,758 --> 01:17:44,103
I love it.

1581
01:17:44,137 --> 01:17:45,379
- You gotta meet
my daughter too.

1582
01:17:45,413 --> 01:17:47,241
- That would be nice.

1583
01:17:47,275 --> 01:17:50,000
Does she and your ex know
about your great news?

1584
01:17:50,034 --> 01:17:52,034
- Esta definitely knows.

1585
01:17:52,068 --> 01:17:55,034
Haven't told Dalton
yet, but I will tonight.

1586
01:17:55,068 --> 01:17:55,931
- Excellent.

1587
01:17:59,413 --> 01:18:03,793
- Well, in case I
don't see you again,

1588
01:18:05,344 --> 01:18:08,448
I wanna wish you
and your daughter

1589
01:18:08,482 --> 01:18:11,931
and your husband
a Merry Christmas.

1590
01:18:11,965 --> 01:18:12,931
- Husband?

1591
01:18:14,482 --> 01:18:16,896
No, Pastor, you
will see me again.

1592
01:18:16,931 --> 01:18:18,000
I told you that.

1593
01:18:20,172 --> 01:18:21,448
Merry Christmas to you too.

1595
01:18:41,034 --> 01:18:44,103
[Noel sighs]

1596
01:18:44,137 --> 01:18:46,310
- Well, off to the next person

1597
01:18:48,034 --> 01:18:49,482
who needs a friend.

1598
01:19:08,379 --> 01:19:12,000
- [chuckles] I may be
turning into Miss Auditor.

1599
01:19:16,172 --> 01:19:17,034
Ah. Yep.

1600
01:19:21,068 --> 01:19:22,206
I can do this.

1601
01:19:25,103 --> 01:19:27,896
[doorbell ringing]

1602
01:19:38,931 --> 01:19:42,172
Still allergic to
hats and gloves I see.

1603
01:19:42,206 --> 01:19:44,034
- Ha, you got all the jokes.

1604
01:19:44,068 --> 01:19:45,206
Can I come in?

1605
01:19:45,241 --> 01:19:46,827
- Come on in.
- It's cold.

1606
01:19:48,103 --> 01:19:52,172
[sighs] So where's Esta?

1607
01:19:52,206 --> 01:19:56,206
- She's upstairs, but I need
to talk to you alone first.

1608
01:19:57,551 --> 01:19:59,000
- What's up?

1609
01:19:59,034 --> 01:19:59,896
- Come on.

1610
01:20:02,068 --> 01:20:03,931
Online with all of her friends

1611
01:20:03,965 --> 01:20:06,000
I had to upgrade my internet
service because of her.

1612
01:20:06,034 --> 01:20:07,379
- Oh, Lord.

1613
01:20:12,206 --> 01:20:15,551
- For starters, I got the job!

1614
01:20:15,586 --> 01:20:16,896
- Wait, what?

1615
01:20:16,931 --> 01:20:19,482
I mean [laughing] that's great.

1616
01:20:21,206 --> 01:20:22,965
When did that happen?

1617
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,517
- Oh, quickly.

1618
01:20:24,551 --> 01:20:27,137
I saw the post online,
applied on Monday,

1619
01:20:27,172 --> 01:20:29,034
hired on Tuesday.

1620
01:20:29,068 --> 01:20:30,034
How awesome is that?

1621
01:20:31,586 --> 01:20:33,965
- It's awesome. I'm
really happy for you.

1622
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,000
- Thank you.

1623
01:20:36,034 --> 01:20:40,000
And I thought we might revisit
the child support issue.

1624
01:20:40,034 --> 01:20:41,379
- Come on, do we have to?

1625
01:20:41,413 --> 01:20:43,896
I mean, I kinda
thought we progressed,

1626
01:20:43,931 --> 01:20:47,000
and, you know, it was moving
in a positive direction.

1627
01:20:47,034 --> 01:20:48,517
- Why? Because
you hit me with a,

1628
01:20:48,551 --> 01:20:50,206
"You can stay over if you want"?

1629
01:20:52,206 --> 01:20:53,620
- No, I mean, you know, that
was a spur of the moment thing,

1630
01:20:53,655 --> 01:20:57,620
but also yeah, come on.
- Oh.

1631
01:20:57,655 --> 01:21:00,310
Anyway, I was thinking
we might be at a point

1632
01:21:00,344 --> 01:21:02,103
where we can handle
things on our own.

1633
01:21:03,344 --> 01:21:05,103
- Okay.
- Maybe put

1634
01:21:05,137 --> 01:21:06,448
the legal stuff on hold.

1635
01:21:08,448 --> 01:21:10,586
Just keep your word about
being there for her.

1636
01:21:12,310 --> 01:21:14,689
- I'm always gonna be there

1637
01:21:14,724 --> 01:21:16,068
for both of my ladies.

1638
01:21:17,137 --> 01:21:20,275
[gentle music]

1639
01:21:20,310 --> 01:21:23,137
Maybe now we can get in
those gymnastic classes.

1640
01:21:23,172 --> 01:21:24,689
- Yeah.
- Yeah that'll make her happy.

1641
01:21:24,724 --> 01:21:26,275
- She would love that.

1642
01:21:26,310 --> 01:21:27,344
And for Christmas I was thinking

1643
01:21:27,379 --> 01:21:30,000
you could spend it over here.

1644
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:32,034
- Really?

1645
01:21:32,068 --> 01:21:32,965
- Yeah, with us.

1646
01:21:35,379 --> 01:21:36,620
Dalton, I...

1647
01:21:38,241 --> 01:21:40,448
I can honestly say
that I miss you

1648
01:21:42,068 --> 01:21:43,241
and I miss us.

1649
01:21:46,034 --> 01:21:47,344
- Well, that's the best
news that I've gotten

1650
01:21:47,379 --> 01:21:48,586
in a long time.

1651
01:21:50,103 --> 01:21:51,103
'Cause I miss you.

1652
01:21:52,275 --> 01:21:53,310
And I miss my family.

1653
01:21:56,379 --> 01:21:57,620
- Then it's set.

1654
01:21:59,034 --> 01:22:01,172
Wanna stay for dinner?

1655
01:22:01,206 --> 01:22:03,137
- [Esta] Dad? Is that you?

1656
01:22:05,206 --> 01:22:06,310
- Yeah, it's me, baby girl.

1657
01:22:09,379 --> 01:22:11,655
Just let me know
when it's ready.

1658
01:22:11,689 --> 01:22:13,275
- I, I was thinking

1659
01:22:13,310 --> 01:22:17,000
maybe we can hang
out first alone.

1660
01:22:22,206 --> 01:22:24,448
Yeah. He'll be up in a second.

1661
01:22:36,344 --> 01:22:39,689
[lively jazzy music]

1662
01:23:03,206 --> 01:23:04,551
- Thank you, Mom.
Thank you, Dad,

1663
01:23:04,586 --> 01:23:06,344
for one of the greatest
gifts of my life.

1664
01:23:06,379 --> 01:23:08,172
- You're welcome, sweetie.

1665
01:23:10,103 --> 01:23:11,034
- Merry Christmas, Roz.

1666
01:23:12,275 --> 01:23:14,241
- Merry Christmas, Dalton.

1667
01:23:14,275 --> 01:23:15,482
- Merry Christmas.

1668
01:23:15,517 --> 01:23:16,827
