1
00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:02,235
From Balaban Films
comes the laugh and love

2
00:00:02,302 --> 00:00:04,371
riot of the holiday season--

3
00:00:04,404 --> 00:00:08,375
William West's His Merry Wife!

4
00:00:08,408 --> 00:00:12,245
Claude Lancaster as James,
a lovelorn man in need

5
00:00:12,312 --> 00:00:15,548
of a little Christmas magic.

6
00:00:15,582 --> 00:00:20,587
Ava Hayward as Rebecca,
the woman he loves.

7
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:24,190
And introducing Jack
Huston as Charlie,

8
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:27,560
a guardian angel tasked
with reuniting the two.

9
00:00:29,996 --> 00:00:31,197
An angel?

10
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:32,565
Well, that depends
on you, my friend.

11
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:33,767
I am here to help.

12
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,568
Now, tell me.

13
00:00:35,602 --> 00:00:36,703
What's this about a girl?

14
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:37,570
[chuckles]

15
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:40,774
We were meant to be married.

16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,208
I fouled it up.

17
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,410
I'd need a miracle to
make things right again.

18
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:45,412
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

19
00:00:45,445 --> 00:00:47,580
and there's a miracle
around every corner, pal.

20
00:00:47,614 --> 00:00:48,548
[chuckles]

21
00:00:48,581 --> 00:00:50,884
Now where is this girl?

22
00:00:50,917 --> 00:00:52,452
There she is.

23
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:55,288
[light music]

24
00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:00,293
Rebecca.

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,697
Say, what kind of
game are you playing?

26
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,565
You've helped lost
souls before, Charlie.

27
00:01:05,598 --> 00:01:07,801
And you know good and well
why this time is different.

28
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:09,936
She's my wife.

29
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:12,305
Maybe in another life.

30
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:14,574
But tonight, she's
your assignment.

31
00:01:14,607 --> 00:01:15,475
[scoffs]

32
00:01:18,945 --> 00:01:21,214
A picture for the ages.

33
00:01:21,247 --> 00:01:24,584
Our gift to you,
our merry viewer.

34
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:27,887
[bright music]

35
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:36,830
Ms. Hardgrove?

36
00:01:36,896 --> 00:01:38,264
Mr. Balaban see you now.

37
00:01:48,408 --> 00:01:50,477
[phone rings in background]

38
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:56,816
[chuckles]

39
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,988
You've changed the ending.

40
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:04,257
Charlie is supposed to
pass up on his wings

41
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:06,126
and help James get the girl.

42
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,329
But instead, you have
him, what, watch Rebecca

43
00:02:09,362 --> 00:02:11,865
as she drives out through
the tall iron gates

44
00:02:11,931 --> 00:02:13,433
and into an uncertain future?

45
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:14,100
Yes.

46
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:15,769
It's real life.

47
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:17,370
No, no, no, no, no, no.

48
00:02:17,103 --> 00:02:19,973
Leave real life for
reality TV shows.

49
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,641
This is a Christmas movie.

50
00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:25,110
Yes, it is, but I think we have
a chance right now to bring

51
00:02:25,450 --> 00:02:27,480
His Merry Wife! into
the 21st century

52
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:30,684
and give audiences something
modern and something real.

53
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:35,155
Lucy, the title has
an exclamation point.

54
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:36,289
Would you like a peppermint?

55
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:37,891
No, thank you.

56
00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:41,661
You know, every other studio
passed on His Merry Wife!

57
00:02:41,695 --> 00:02:45,650
But my grandfather, Harold
Balaban, saw the potential,

58
00:02:45,131 --> 00:02:48,401
knew that it had all the
makings for a classic.

59
00:02:48,468 --> 00:02:50,570
Right, and I love a classic.

60
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:52,380
I'm all for honoring
the original version.

61
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,840
Good.

62
00:02:53,873 --> 00:02:55,508
It's just that we are living
in a different time period now,

63
00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:58,712
and I think this generation
would want its own voice.

64
00:03:02,682 --> 00:03:05,185
My grandfather actually took
me with him to Biltmore when

65
00:03:05,218 --> 00:03:07,200
he decided to visit the set.

66
00:03:07,530 --> 00:03:09,689
I had to be, I don't know, all
of about seven at the time.

67
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:12,250
I'll tell you, there's
something really

68
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:14,327
special about that place.

69
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:17,364
So maybe what you need is
to see it for yourself.

70
00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:19,990
Let's send you
down to Asheville.

71
00:03:19,165 --> 00:03:21,368
Oh.

72
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:22,350
OK.

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:22,936
Good.

74
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:24,270
You're going tomorrow.

75
00:03:24,337 --> 00:03:25,905
Oh, well, Christmas
is in a few days.

76
00:03:25,939 --> 00:03:27,207
So--
That's even better.

77
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,442
You get to see the
place all lit up.

78
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:30,677
OK.

79
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:31,444
Mr. Balaban--

80
00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:32,780
No.

81
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:32,946
Michael, please.

82
00:03:33,130 --> 00:03:33,847
Michael.

83
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,382
Michael.

84
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:38,184
I'm just-- I'm really
not sure how to write

85
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:40,253
something I don't believe.

86
00:03:40,286 --> 00:03:44,958
[chuckles] Lucy, I
like you, and I think

87
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:46,559
you have a lot of promise.

88
00:03:46,593 --> 00:03:49,896
But I also need a writer
who's on the same page.

89
00:03:49,929 --> 00:03:51,231
OK?

90
00:03:51,264 --> 00:03:53,660
Now, Sandy will get
you all the notes,

91
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:54,367
take care of your travel plans.

92
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:56,569
You just go to Biltmore,
have a good time.

93
00:03:56,603 --> 00:03:57,437
Thanks.

94
00:03:57,470 --> 00:03:58,738
Good.

95
00:03:58,772 --> 00:03:59,639
Oh, and, Lucy, Lucy.

96
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:00,407
Yes.

97
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,409
I want a happy ending.

98
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:03,243
OK?

99
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:06,780
[light playful music]

100
00:04:06,813 --> 00:04:09,749
[gentle music]

101
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,487
I wish it were different.

102
00:04:14,554 --> 00:04:16,423
For a moment, you
made me so very happy.

103
00:04:26,966 --> 00:04:28,601
What are you doing, James?

104
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:29,969
Go after her.

105
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:33,106
Wouldn't change
a thing, Charlie.

106
00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:35,975
She's in love with a memory.

107
00:04:36,900 --> 00:04:36,910
I never stood a chance.

108
00:04:44,317 --> 00:04:48,521
Thank you for all of your help.

109
00:04:52,192 --> 00:04:54,127
Help?

110
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,429
Is that what you gave him?

111
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:59,320
I'm so sorry.

112
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:01,167
I was selfish.

113
00:05:01,201 --> 00:05:06,806
Just give me another
chance to try to fix it.

114
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:09,109
I'm afraid there's no time
for second chances now.

115
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,484
You know the rules, Charlie.

116
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:19,953
Christmas is almost over.

117
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,955
I don't care.

118
00:05:21,988 --> 00:05:26,326
If you leave, you can
forget about those wings.

119
00:05:26,359 --> 00:05:27,861
(BOTH) I never did like to fly.

120
00:05:31,197 --> 00:05:33,233
What, I'm invested.

121
00:05:33,299 --> 00:05:35,835
The guy spends the whole movie
trying to break those two up

122
00:05:35,869 --> 00:05:37,504
and then suddenly
has a change of heart

123
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:38,905
in the last 10 minutes.

124
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:40,473
Yeah, it's romantic.

125
00:05:40,507 --> 00:05:41,875
It's convenient.

126
00:05:41,908 --> 00:05:43,476
Oh.

127
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:45,679
You used to love this
movie when we were little.

128
00:05:45,712 --> 00:05:48,314
You could practically
recite it from memory.

129
00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:50,500
It's sappy.

130
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:53,219
He loves her, and he knows
it will make her happy.

131
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:54,921
And we know that when
push comes to shove,

132
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:56,856
people will always choose
their own happiness.

133
00:05:56,890 --> 00:06:01,610
OK, well, that is just the
cynical, tortured writer

134
00:06:01,940 --> 00:06:02,595
side of you.

135
00:06:02,662 --> 00:06:05,532
Some people really do
get a happily ever after.

136
00:06:08,835 --> 00:06:11,171
So what are you going
to do about your script?

137
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:12,839
I don't know, man.

138
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:14,774
My career's been on life support
for the last three years.

139
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:16,543
I don't know that an
opportunity like this

140
00:06:16,576 --> 00:06:17,777
is going to come around again.

141
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:19,512
I think I just have
to figure it out.

142
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:21,548
Do you think you're going
to be back by New Year's?

143
00:06:21,581 --> 00:06:24,500
There's just somebody
I want you to meet.

144
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:25,180
No, Becca.

145
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:26,953
He's perfect for you.

146
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,254
You say that every time.

147
00:06:28,288 --> 00:06:30,924
Because it's true
almost every time.

148
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:33,593
And you never, ever give
these guys a chance.

149
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:35,562
Jack Huston could walked
through this door,

150
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:37,397
and you would find
something wrong with him.

151
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:40,660
[laughs] That's not true.

152
00:06:40,100 --> 00:06:43,436
Come on, you just have to
put yourself out there.

153
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,373
I'm just going to spare
myself the heartache.

154
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,609
Hey, you deserve a
really great guy who

155
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:52,278
will sweep you off your feet.

156
00:06:52,312 --> 00:06:54,470
I like my feet right
where they are.

157
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,916
Plus, I have someone else's
happiness to worry about.

158
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:57,751
[sighs]

159
00:06:57,784 --> 00:06:59,285
[light music]

160
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:00,887
We're going to
miss you this year,

161
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,570
and, you know, Dad promised
that he would go caroling.

162
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:05,580
Oh, yay.

163
00:07:05,910 --> 00:07:05,925
I need a video of that.

164
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:07,660
OK.

165
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:09,162
And please try to get some
Christmas spirit before you're

166
00:07:09,229 --> 00:07:11,131
visited by three pushy ghosts.

167
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:12,265
Pff, never.

168
00:07:12,298 --> 00:07:13,767
[laughs] OK, Merry Christmas.

169
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,435
I miss you.
Call me when you're back.

170
00:07:15,468 --> 00:07:16,169
OK.
OK.

171
00:07:16,236 --> 00:07:17,504
[kisses]

172
00:07:17,570 --> 00:07:20,607
[gentle music]

173
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,576
[sighs]

174
00:07:25,979 --> 00:07:28,181
Bah, humbug.

175
00:07:28,248 --> 00:07:31,151
[bright music]

176
00:07:43,290 --> 00:07:45,965
[chatter]

177
00:07:47,167 --> 00:07:47,934
Ms. Hardgrove?

178
00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:49,336
Hi.

179
00:07:49,369 --> 00:07:50,804
Welcome to the inn of
the Biltmore Estate.

180
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:51,504
Lucy.

181
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:53,173
Oh, Winston.

182
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:54,641
We're so happy to have you here.

183
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,376
If you walk this way, I'll
show you to your room.

184
00:07:56,443 --> 00:07:58,311
OK.

185
00:07:58,345 --> 00:08:00,714
You know, William West visited
Biltmore when he was writing

186
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,682
the original His Merry Wife!

187
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:05,485
Hopefully we can be a
similar inspiration to you.

188
00:08:05,518 --> 00:08:07,887
Here you go, your room, 359.

189
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:09,220
Thank you so much.

190
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:10,523
After you've had a
chance to settle in,

191
00:08:10,557 --> 00:08:12,225
I'd love if you could
join me for the evening

192
00:08:12,292 --> 00:08:13,226
tour of Biltmore House.

193
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:14,994
Oh, thank you.

194
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,863
I think I'm probably just going
to sleep off some jet lag.

195
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:19,466
I think it'll be
worth your time.

196
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,334
It starts in an hour.

197
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:24,537

[crickets chirping]

199
00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:08,415
Christmas at Biltmore
is a tradition that

200
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:11,885
goes all the way back to 1895.

201
00:09:11,918 --> 00:09:13,753
And we go to great
lengths to try to recreate

202
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:15,455
that same magic every year.

203
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:17,557
Our guests tell us
that they sometimes

204
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:22,295
feel as if they've been
transported to another time.

205
00:09:22,362 --> 00:09:23,630
Next up is the billiards room.

206
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:24,964
Come this way.

207
00:09:25,310 --> 00:09:27,901
[light music]

208
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:31,370
I can tell by the expressions
on your face that some of you

209
00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:32,739
recognize this room.

210
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:35,975
What holiday classic
was shot at Biltmore?

211
00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:37,577
His Merry Wife!

212
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:40,313
You are correct.

213
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:41,748
Right this way.

214
00:09:41,781 --> 00:09:45,418
Principal photography
began December of 1947

215
00:09:45,452 --> 00:09:46,753
right here at Biltmore.

216
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:48,588
And many pieces
from our collection

217
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:51,458
were incorporated into the film.

218
00:09:51,491 --> 00:09:54,928
This banquet table you may
remember from the famous dinner

219
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:56,229

[light music]

223
00:10:08,408 --> 00:10:10,977
Right this way.

224
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:15,248
Here, we have the gown worn
by Ava Hayward in the film's

225
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,816
emotional conclusion.

226
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:18,451
You know, Hayward
wasn't the studio's

227
00:10:18,485 --> 00:10:20,153
first choice to play Rebecca.

228
00:10:20,186 --> 00:10:22,622
In fact, at this point in time,
she was sort of considered box

229
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:24,900
office poison.

230
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:28,495
However, writer-director
Williams West cast her,

231
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:30,697
it revived her
career, and she went

232
00:10:30,764 --> 00:10:34,467
on to win two Academy Awards.

233
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:37,303
And here we have Mr.
Claude Lancaster,

234
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:38,938
Hollywood's Mr. Nice Guy.

235
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:41,808
He brought the star
power to this project.

236
00:10:41,841 --> 00:10:44,711
People say that he was
just as nice in person.

237
00:10:44,778 --> 00:10:48,815
Jack Huston was a relative
newcomer with just a couple

238
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:50,517
of credits to his name.

239
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:53,987
Funny story-- he took a bit
part in a musical called Meet Me

240
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,690
in Poughkeepsie so he could
get on to the lot and meet

241
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,659
the studio head, Harold
Balaban, who he convinced

242
00:10:59,693 --> 00:11:01,494
to get an audition for--

243
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:02,629
His Merry Wife!

244
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:03,797
His Merry Wife!

245
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,732
Sadly, Jack passed
away and wasn't

246
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,501
able to enjoy the tremendous
success of the film.

247
00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:10,737
He died the following Christmas.

248
00:11:10,804 --> 00:11:12,906
Anyway, thank you
very much for coming.

249
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:14,808
Enjoy the conservatory.

If you have time, there is one
more room I'd like you to see.

253
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:31,424
Oh.

254
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:32,325

Excuse me.

258
00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:39,699
Thank you.

262
00:11:43,737 --> 00:11:45,338
It looks exactly the same.

263
00:11:45,372 --> 00:11:46,706
I know.

264
00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:48,575
You keep the prop on
display all year round?

265
00:11:48,608 --> 00:11:51,110
Actually, the hourglass
is not a prop.

266
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,460
It comes from Biltmore's
private collection.

267
00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:54,247
Oh.

268
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,249
William West was so
taken with it that he

269
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:57,217
wrote it into the script.

270
00:11:57,250 --> 00:11:58,251
Hmm.

271
00:11:58,284 --> 00:11:59,719
It's cracked.

272
00:11:59,753 --> 00:12:01,888
So that happened during filming.

273
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:03,590
Luckily, they were
able to repair it.

274
00:12:03,623 --> 00:12:06,226
All it's got is that
little infringement now.

275
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:07,961
It's usually in a safe
vault, but I had it

276
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,696
brought out especially for you.

277
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:12,232
I thought you might like to see
it in person before it leaves.

278
00:12:12,265 --> 00:12:13,533
Leaves?

279
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:14,968
It's being loaned
to the Smithsonian

280
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:16,469
as part of their Golden Age
of Hollywood exhibition.

367
00:15:50,830 --> 00:15:51,918
I'm really sorry.

368
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:53,687
Our call dropped.

369
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:55,955
I'm not really
sure what happened.

370
00:15:55,989 --> 00:15:57,924
Anyway, give me a buzz
back when you get a chance.

371
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:58,692
Thank you.

372
00:16:04,164 --> 00:16:06,366
Oh, I wish I had known people
were going to dress up.

373
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:08,301
I would have brought
my fascinator.

374
00:16:08,335 --> 00:16:10,303
It's just like the
one Eva Hayward wears.

375
00:16:10,337 --> 00:16:12,472
What do you mean dress up,
like historical reenactments

376
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:14,341
or like cosplay
characters from the film?

377
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:16,843
Yeah, so you can take pictures
with all the decorations.

378
00:16:16,876 --> 00:16:19,479
It's in the brochure.

379
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:20,613
It's in the brochure.

380
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:21,848
Uh-huh.

381
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:22,949
I'm Margaret.

382
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:24,651
I'm Lucy.

383
00:16:24,684 --> 00:16:27,354
Well, Lucy, we better double
time it if we're going

384
00:16:27,387 --> 00:16:28,855
to get there before it starts.

385
00:16:28,888 --> 00:16:29,889
It what?

386
00:16:29,956 --> 00:16:31,157
The tree lighting.

387
00:16:31,191 --> 00:16:31,825
Oh.

388
00:16:31,858 --> 00:16:32,826
Come on.

389
00:16:32,859 --> 00:16:35,662
[festive violin music]

390
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:38,640
So are you here with family?

391
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:39,733
No, I'm a--

392
00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:40,533
I'm a writer.

393
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:41,835
I'm here on work.

394
00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:42,969
Oh, what do you write?

395
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:44,337
Movies.

396
00:16:44,371 --> 00:16:45,500
How glamorous.

397
00:16:45,380 --> 00:16:46,172
Yeah, it's fun.

398
00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:48,800
Have you ever met
Sandra Bullock.

399
00:16:48,410 --> 00:16:49,542
Sadly, no.

400
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:52,120
Oh, well, that's too bad
because I read somewhere

401
00:16:52,450 --> 00:16:54,381
that she is very nice.

402
00:16:54,414 --> 00:16:58,351
Hey, you should write
a movie for her.

403
00:16:58,385 --> 00:16:59,819
[gasps]

404
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:02,722
[clapping]

405
00:17:04,157 --> 00:17:07,160
This trip was my
Christmas gift to myself.

406
00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:10,697
[laughs] I wanted to visit
for as long as I can remember.

407
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:12,320
Because of His Merry Wife!

408
00:17:12,650 --> 00:17:12,866
How'd you know?

409
00:17:12,899 --> 00:17:13,767
You seem like a fan.

410
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:15,835
[laughs] Yeah.

411
00:17:15,869 --> 00:17:19,390
My mother and I used to watch
it every year at Christmas.

412
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:20,774
It was our little tradition.

413
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,910
She would make a
big bowl of popcorn,

414
00:17:23,943 --> 00:17:27,470
and then we'd break
out the box of Kleenex.

415
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,550
It's my absolute favorite movie.

416
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:34,454
Being here, it's a
little like I'm in it.

417
00:17:34,521 --> 00:17:38,191
Like, oh, look, right over there
is where Rebecca first meets

418
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:41,895
James's disapproving parents.

419
00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:45,765
Oh, and that is where Charlie
sees Rebecca for the first time

420
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,903
and realizes his last assignment
to get his wings is the woman

421
00:17:49,936 --> 00:17:51,538
he loves.

422
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:54,374
Oh, and when he races
through the Italian garden

423
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,760
to stop her from leaving.

424
00:17:56,109 --> 00:18:00,280
I mean, they just don't
make men like that anymore.

425
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:03,583
There are so many locations
I want to get photos of.

426
00:18:03,616 --> 00:18:08,722
I mean, this was a
major motion picture.

427
00:18:08,755 --> 00:18:11,491
[light shimmering music]

428
00:18:13,259 --> 00:18:14,794
I'll be right back.

429
00:18:14,828 --> 00:18:17,297
OK.

430
00:18:17,330 --> 00:18:20,400
[slinking music, chatter]

431
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:55,301
[dramatic orchestral music]

432
00:19:02,709 --> 00:19:04,310
[exhales]

433
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,682
[gentle string music]

434
00:19:12,719 --> 00:19:15,655
[slinking music]

435
00:19:18,692 --> 00:19:21,661
[sand trickling]

436
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:30,203
[dramatic music]

437
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:38,345
[sand trickling]

438
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:47,870
[dramatic music]

439
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:50,690
[laughs]

440
00:19:50,724 --> 00:19:54,260
[chatter]

441
00:19:54,327 --> 00:19:57,664
Oh, this cannot-- this
cannot be happening.

442
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:00,330
Hey, you're not supposed
to be back here.

443
00:20:00,660 --> 00:20:01,340
Oh.

444
00:20:01,670 --> 00:20:02,168
This is a closed set.

445
00:20:02,202 --> 00:20:03,603
Mr. West's orders.

446
00:20:03,670 --> 00:20:04,871
Mr. West?

447
00:20:04,904 --> 00:20:06,390
We're going to need for
you to come with me.

448
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,207
There you are.
You're late.

449
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,541
The boys from
central casting told

450
00:20:08,575 --> 00:20:09,909
me you'd be here an hour ago.

451
00:20:09,943 --> 00:20:11,211
Sandra, right?

452
00:20:11,244 --> 00:20:12,780
Candy cane girl?

453
00:20:16,490 --> 00:20:17,183
Yes.

454
00:20:17,217 --> 00:20:18,184
We got to get you to wardrobe.

455
00:20:18,218 --> 00:20:19,919
Follow me.

456
00:20:19,953 --> 00:20:21,955
Here's a piece of
advice for me to you.

457
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:23,690
Time is money in this business.

458
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:28,940
And if you're not 5 minutes
early, you're 10 minutes late.

459
00:20:28,128 --> 00:20:30,463
What on earth are you wearing?

460
00:20:30,530 --> 00:20:32,866
[sighs] Looks like they
flubbed your measurements

461
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:34,934
at the agency.

462
00:20:34,968 --> 00:20:38,380
Nothing we can do now.

463
00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:40,907
[soft tense music]

464
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:44,110
All right, OK.

465
00:20:44,144 --> 00:20:50,250
This is all going to be over,
just like it was last time.

466
00:20:50,283 --> 00:20:54,454
1, 2, 3.

467
00:20:54,487 --> 00:20:55,789
[door opens]

468
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:58,591
You were due on
set 15 minutes ago.

469
00:20:58,625 --> 00:21:00,460
[sighs]

470
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:07,000
Put this on, and get to set.

471
00:21:07,670 --> 00:21:09,803
[tense music]

472
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:13,673
All right, it's the night
of the big Christmas to do.

473
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:16,276
You've just told your
folks that you plan to wed,

474
00:21:16,309 --> 00:21:18,780
and they threaten to
cut you out of the will.

475
00:21:18,111 --> 00:21:19,412
But you love her.

476
00:21:19,446 --> 00:21:21,810
But you need his help.

477
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:22,916
Now, remember, nobody can see
you except for the big lug

478
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:23,783
here.

479
00:21:23,817 --> 00:21:24,584
Yes, sir.

480
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:25,952
Ready for rehearsal?

481
00:21:25,985 --> 00:21:26,820
I think we got it.

482
00:21:26,853 --> 00:21:28,421
Let's go again.

483
00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:30,623
Places, everyone, places.

484
00:21:30,657 --> 00:21:31,825
Speed.

485
00:21:31,858 --> 00:21:32,492
Music.

486
00:21:32,525 --> 00:21:35,261
[light music]

487
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:36,960
Action.

488
00:21:39,699 --> 00:21:42,102
Don't look now, but I
think we have an audience.

489
00:21:42,135 --> 00:21:43,103
[scoffs]

490
00:21:44,637 --> 00:21:47,400
[sighs] Will your parents
ever approve of me?

491
00:21:47,107 --> 00:21:48,508
Oh, hush now.

492
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:49,976
They'll come around, kid.

493
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,444
And if they don't?

494
00:21:51,478 --> 00:21:53,947
Tell her that you'll
whisk her away.

495
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:55,782
I'll whisk you far away from me.
Whisk?

496
00:21:55,815 --> 00:21:57,650
And I'll tell her that
you'll buy her a house.

497
00:21:57,684 --> 00:21:59,185
Buy us a house of our own.

498
00:21:59,219 --> 00:22:00,553
A house?

499
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,622
Tell her that you'll
fill it with roses.

500
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,657
And fill it with roses.

501
00:22:04,691 --> 00:22:05,992
Roses?

502
00:22:06,260 --> 00:22:08,194
One for every day since
you walked into my life.

503
00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,300
Oh, that's a nice touch, kid.

504
00:22:10,630 --> 00:22:13,133
Well, that'd be grand if I
weren't allergic to them.

505
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:14,567
Mmm.

506
00:22:14,634 --> 00:22:15,802
Sorry about that, old sport.

507
00:22:15,835 --> 00:22:17,504
I thought that was
right on the money.

508
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:21,841
And cut.

509
00:22:21,875 --> 00:22:23,977
Oh, stop stepping on
my line, sweetheart.

510
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:25,178
My apologies.

511
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:26,790
Next time, I'll
aim for your feet.

512
00:22:26,146 --> 00:22:27,800
[groans]

513
00:22:29,349 --> 00:22:30,350
Hmm.

514
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:32,218
[playful music]

515
00:22:34,187 --> 00:22:36,322
Thank you, Peggy.

516
00:22:36,356 --> 00:22:37,891
Hi, there.

517
00:22:37,924 --> 00:22:38,558
Hi.

518
00:22:38,591 --> 00:22:39,859
I'm Jack Huston.

519
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,832
You got a name?

520
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:46,833
Oh, Sandra.

521
00:22:46,866 --> 00:22:47,701
Sandra.

522
00:22:47,734 --> 00:22:49,235
Sandra?

523
00:22:49,269 --> 00:22:50,770
Bullock.

524
00:22:50,837 --> 00:22:53,907
Well, Ms. Bullock, it's
nice to meet you, again.

525
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:55,709
Yeah.
Now, look at this.

526
00:22:55,742 --> 00:22:57,510
It's been 10 seconds, and you
haven't bolted for the door.

527
00:22:57,544 --> 00:22:59,346
So I'd say we're already
off to a better start.

528
00:22:59,379 --> 00:23:00,780
Oh, I've been here too long.

529
00:23:00,847 --> 00:23:02,515
Do you have somewhere
that you need to be?

530
00:23:02,549 --> 00:23:03,683
You could say that.

531
00:23:03,717 --> 00:23:05,510
Well, I did say that.

532
00:23:05,850 --> 00:23:07,200
Did you see where that
security guard went?

533
00:23:07,530 --> 00:23:08,210
Yeah, he went that way.

534
00:23:08,540 --> 00:23:08,855
Great.

535
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:11,624
Oh.

536
00:23:11,691 --> 00:23:13,393
Hey, hold this for me, Gus.

537
00:23:13,426 --> 00:23:16,296
[slinking music]

538
00:23:18,698 --> 00:23:22,102
[tense music]

539
00:23:22,135 --> 00:23:24,904
Ms. Bullock, what was with
the disappearing act earlier?

540
00:23:24,938 --> 00:23:26,306
Don't they need you
for the next scene?

541
00:23:26,373 --> 00:23:27,874
Nah.

542
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,109
They're filming the
final scene of the movie.

543
00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:30,243
Well, last time I
checked, you were in that.

544
00:23:30,276 --> 00:23:31,211
[laughs] That's news to me.

545
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:32,145
What do you mean?

546
00:23:32,212 --> 00:23:33,213
Whoa, watch your head.

547
00:23:33,246 --> 00:23:34,547
What do you mean?

548
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:36,416
No, Charlie gives up
a chance at his wings,

549
00:23:36,449 --> 00:23:38,510
he chases Rebecca
out into the garden,

550
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:39,786
they share a final goodbye,
and she reunites with James.

551
00:23:39,819 --> 00:23:41,870
That's the end of the movie.

552
00:23:41,121 --> 00:23:43,223
No, that's not the
script that I read.

553
00:23:43,256 --> 00:23:44,391
It's not?
No.

554
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:46,590
But what made you say that?

555
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,495
Because I've been thinking of
something along those lines,

556
00:23:48,561 --> 00:23:49,929
and nobody will go for it.

557
00:23:49,963 --> 00:23:51,297
I am Sandra.

558
00:23:51,331 --> 00:23:54,167
[tense music]

559
00:23:58,605 --> 00:24:00,640
I'm starting to think it's me.

560
00:24:00,674 --> 00:24:03,743
[light upbeat music]

561
00:24:14,187 --> 00:24:15,755
She said she was an actress.

562
00:24:15,789 --> 00:24:17,590
Well, where did she go?

563
00:24:17,624 --> 00:24:20,627
[tense music]

564
00:24:26,266 --> 00:24:27,300
[gasps]

565
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:37,210
You-- how-- where
did you come from?

566
00:24:37,277 --> 00:24:40,313
I can explain.

567
00:24:40,347 --> 00:24:41,548
No, I can't.

568
00:24:41,614 --> 00:24:44,851
You weren't there.

569
00:24:44,884 --> 00:24:47,220
And then you were there.

570
00:24:47,287 --> 00:24:48,288
What are you wearing?

571
00:24:48,321 --> 00:24:50,490
[stammers] Why are you here?

572
00:24:50,523 --> 00:24:51,624
Well, you were so upset.

573
00:24:51,658 --> 00:24:52,959
I was worried.

574
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:55,295
You said you'd be
right back, and you

575
00:24:55,328 --> 00:24:56,463
were gone almost an hour.

576
00:24:56,496 --> 00:24:57,230
An hour.

577
00:24:57,297 --> 00:24:58,331
An hour!

578
00:24:58,365 --> 00:24:59,632
OK.

579
00:24:59,666 --> 00:25:01,167
Hey, is that the
one from the movie?

580
00:25:01,201 --> 00:25:02,969
Yeah, don't touch it.

581
00:25:03,300 --> 00:25:04,471
Why not?

582
00:25:04,504 --> 00:25:06,973
Ladies, I'm sorry, we're about
to close up for the night.

583
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:07,574
Oh.

584
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,750
Sorry.

585
00:25:09,142 --> 00:25:12,379
I just was here to take
photos of the hourglass

586
00:25:12,412 --> 00:25:13,813
for my research.

587
00:25:13,847 --> 00:25:15,248
And I'm sure we'll be
able to accommodate you

588
00:25:15,315 --> 00:25:17,150
during the appropriate hours.

589
00:25:17,183 --> 00:25:18,184
Sure, sure.
Yeah.

590
00:25:18,218 --> 00:25:19,190
Sorry.

591
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:23,230
By the way, I love this costume.

592
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:23,857
Oh.

593
00:25:23,890 --> 00:25:24,758
Straight out of the movie.

594
00:25:24,824 --> 00:25:27,930
[laughs] Yeah.

595
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,561
It's funny.

596
00:25:28,595 --> 00:25:30,597
Hey, you've been running
the His Merry Wife! tour

597
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:31,598
for quite some time, right?

598
00:25:31,664 --> 00:25:33,990
I have.

599
00:25:33,166 --> 00:25:35,100
So you must know a bit
about the obscure trivia

600
00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:36,836
surrounding the production.

601
00:25:36,870 --> 00:25:38,380
Yes.

602
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:39,839
Are you thinking of
something specific?

603
00:25:39,873 --> 00:25:42,709
Have you heard anything
about an alternate ending?

604
00:25:42,742 --> 00:25:44,277
There were rumors.

605
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:45,512
Nothing substantiated.

606
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:47,470
What kind of rumors?

607
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,452
Well, that it was more
somber, something bittersweet.

608
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:54,554
What happened to that?
Why did William West change it?

609
00:25:54,587 --> 00:25:55,555
Did the studio step in?

610
00:25:55,588 --> 00:25:56,690
No one knows.

611
00:25:56,723 --> 00:25:58,291
I don't think we'll ever know.

612
00:25:58,358 --> 00:26:00,927
Everyone involved with that
production has passed on.

613
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,763
I think that ending
is lost to history.

614
00:26:03,797 --> 00:26:06,900
[soft music]

615
00:26:09,736 --> 00:26:10,637
[sobbing]

616
00:26:10,704 --> 00:26:12,105
Please.

617
00:26:12,138 --> 00:26:13,773
Rebecca, it's all my
fault. You have to stop.

618
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,482
Charlie.

619
00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:25,510
How?

620
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:26,720
You can see me?

621
00:26:26,753 --> 00:26:28,540
Just for now, Charlie.

622
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,123
[soft music]

623
00:26:30,156 --> 00:26:32,926
Well, then we don't
have much time.

624
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:34,561
And I want you to
know that I love you,

625
00:26:34,594 --> 00:26:36,229
and I have always loved you.

626
00:26:36,262 --> 00:26:39,332
And I don't want to be the
thing that's holding you back.

627
00:26:39,399 --> 00:26:42,435
The greatest gift that you can
give me is to live your life

628
00:26:42,469 --> 00:26:44,270
and find a little happiness.

629
00:26:47,841 --> 00:26:54,614
Now, he's a little stiff.

630
00:26:54,647 --> 00:26:55,515
But you could do worse.

631
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:04,157
Merry Christmas, Charlie.

632
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:05,258
Merry Christmas.

633
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:08,161
[light music]

634
00:27:39,959 --> 00:27:43,463
[inquisitive music]

635
00:27:59,713 --> 00:28:01,681
Lucy, I hope you
can join us tonight

636
00:28:01,715 --> 00:28:02,916
for the gift-giving event.

637
00:28:02,982 --> 00:28:05,850
It's been a tradition
here since 1895.

638
00:28:05,151 --> 00:28:07,821
Did you know on the first
Christmas Biltmore opened

639
00:28:07,854 --> 00:28:09,823
its doors, it was to
the employees' families

640
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:12,525
in the spirit of
generosity, gratitude?

641
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:16,496
And there was a handpicked gift
under the tree for each child

642
00:28:16,529 --> 00:28:17,597
and staff member.

643
00:28:17,664 --> 00:28:18,765
That's a lovely tradition.

644
00:28:18,832 --> 00:28:20,100
Yes, it is.

645
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:21,601
Did you also know
that the hourglass

646
00:28:21,668 --> 00:28:23,737
was gifted to the Biltmore
collection that very same

647
00:28:23,770 --> 00:28:24,537
Christmas?

648
00:28:24,571 --> 00:28:25,872
Yes.

649
00:28:25,905 --> 00:28:28,341
Speaking of that
hourglass, you mentioned

650
00:28:28,375 --> 00:28:30,110
that you had other
props and costumes

651
00:28:30,176 --> 00:28:31,511
from the movie in storage.

652
00:28:31,544 --> 00:28:33,246
There's not enough room
to put them all out.

653
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:34,547
Right.

654
00:28:34,581 --> 00:28:35,882
Could I possibly take a
look at some of those?

655
00:28:35,915 --> 00:28:38,184
I'm not sure it's
worth your while.

656
00:28:38,218 --> 00:28:40,530
It's mostly extras'
costumes, and they've

657
00:28:40,860 --> 00:28:41,287
been in mothballs for years.

658
00:28:41,354 --> 00:28:42,220
Please.

659
00:28:42,550 --> 00:28:43,256
Sure.
Come on.

660
00:28:43,289 --> 00:28:43,923
OK.

661
00:28:43,957 --> 00:28:46,192
[slinking music]

662
00:28:46,226 --> 00:28:49,696
[light string music]

663
00:28:52,365 --> 00:28:55,702
[playful music]

664
00:28:57,470 --> 00:28:58,271
OK.

665
00:29:04,878 --> 00:29:06,646
Ah.

666
00:29:06,713 --> 00:29:07,981
I'll pay you back.

667
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,249
Scout's honor.

668
00:29:12,285 --> 00:29:15,321
You know, I knew that outfit
you were wearing last night

669
00:29:15,388 --> 00:29:16,556
looked familiar.

670
00:29:16,589 --> 00:29:19,926
And then I remembered
where I saw it.

671
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:21,828
It was on the tour.

672
00:29:21,895 --> 00:29:23,296
But here's the funny part.

673
00:29:23,329 --> 00:29:26,299
It was still there this
morning on display.

674
00:29:26,332 --> 00:29:30,236
You appeared out
of thin air wearing

675
00:29:30,270 --> 00:29:32,405
clothes from another time.

676
00:29:32,439 --> 00:29:34,908
There can only be
one explanation.

677
00:29:34,941 --> 00:29:37,444
[tense music]

678
00:29:37,477 --> 00:29:38,845
You're a ghost.

679
00:29:38,912 --> 00:29:40,180
I'm not a ghost.

680
00:29:40,246 --> 00:29:41,848
And you're trapped
here at Christmas

681
00:29:41,915 --> 00:29:43,316
with unfinished business.

682
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:46,353
I'm literally holding
something in my hand.

683
00:29:46,419 --> 00:29:47,587
I can help.

684
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,256
If you need to get a
grave message to a loved

685
00:29:50,290 --> 00:29:53,293
one or right some wrong--

686
00:29:53,326 --> 00:29:56,463
I went back in time to 1947.

687
00:29:56,496 --> 00:29:57,664
What?

688
00:29:57,697 --> 00:29:59,432
They were filming
His Merry Wife! here,

689
00:29:59,466 --> 00:30:01,134
and then the costumer
thought that I

690
00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:02,302
was the actress playing
the candy cane girl,

691
00:30:02,335 --> 00:30:03,703
so they put me in that outfit.

692
00:30:03,770 --> 00:30:05,672
But then I came back.

693
00:30:05,705 --> 00:30:07,807
And it was really weird.

694
00:30:07,841 --> 00:30:08,875
Oh.
I know.

695
00:30:08,942 --> 00:30:09,843
I know.
Hold on.

696
00:30:09,876 --> 00:30:11,211
Here.
You all right?

697
00:30:14,214 --> 00:30:15,615
How long were you there?

698
00:30:18,351 --> 00:30:19,686
The first time, I think I--

699
00:30:19,719 --> 00:30:20,820
The first time?

700
00:30:20,854 --> 00:30:22,355
You went back more than once?

701
00:30:22,389 --> 00:30:23,556
Yes.

702
00:30:23,623 --> 00:30:25,225
Well, I had to make
sure I wasn't crazy.

703
00:30:25,291 --> 00:30:27,660
[laughs] Still haven't arrived
at an answer, honestly.

704
00:30:27,694 --> 00:30:30,330
Is that why you're looking
through the old wardrobes?

705
00:30:30,363 --> 00:30:32,650
Are you planning to go back?

706
00:30:32,132 --> 00:30:34,334
Yeah, I got something
I got to do.

707
00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:36,360
This is unbelievable, right?

708
00:30:36,690 --> 00:30:37,470
How did this even happen?

709
00:30:37,504 --> 00:30:39,572
The hourglass was sitting
there, I turned it over,

710
00:30:39,639 --> 00:30:40,707
and it brought me here.

711
00:30:40,740 --> 00:30:42,420
I mean there but here.

712
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:43,843
Before I knew it,
I was just standing

713
00:30:43,877 --> 00:30:47,147
there talking to Jack Huston.

714
00:30:47,180 --> 00:30:50,417
[gasps] Is he just as
charming in real life?

715
00:30:50,483 --> 00:30:53,253
[laughs] He's kind
of pushy, actually.

716
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:54,487
Oh.

717
00:30:54,521 --> 00:30:55,188
Oh.

718
00:30:55,221 --> 00:30:56,189
Oh, I understand.

719
00:30:56,222 --> 00:30:58,758
You're going back for him.

720
00:30:58,825 --> 00:31:00,226
Oh, no, no, no, no.

721
00:31:00,260 --> 00:31:02,195
Oh, that is just about
the most romantic

722
00:31:02,228 --> 00:31:03,563
thing I have ever heard.

723
00:31:03,596 --> 00:31:06,433
No, I promise I'm not
going back for anyone.

724
00:31:06,499 --> 00:31:10,370
So if you're not going
back for Jack Huston,

725
00:31:10,403 --> 00:31:12,939
then what are you
going back for?

726
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,375
[soft music]

727
00:31:15,408 --> 00:31:17,277
I can't believe
you didn't tell me

728
00:31:17,344 --> 00:31:20,847
you were writing the
remake of His Merry Wife!

729
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,415
Who's going to play Charlie?

730
00:31:22,449 --> 00:31:24,451
Oh, you should ask
that Ryan Reynolds.

731
00:31:24,517 --> 00:31:26,286
I mean, he would be perfect.

732
00:31:26,353 --> 00:31:28,188
He's got just the right
amount of charisma.

733
00:31:30,757 --> 00:31:32,859
What, what does any
of this have to do

734
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:34,694
with you going back in time?

735
00:31:34,728 --> 00:31:37,300
Well, I have to find out what
was in that original ending

736
00:31:37,630 --> 00:31:38,531
and why they changed it.

737
00:31:41,534 --> 00:31:42,435
["HARK!

738
00:31:42,469 --> 00:31:44,771
THE HERALD ANGELS SING" PLAYING]

739
00:31:49,642 --> 00:31:53,713
(SINGING) Hark, the
Herald angels sing,

740
00:31:53,747 --> 00:31:57,450
glory to the newborn king.

741
00:31:57,484 --> 00:32:04,758
Peace on Earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.

742
00:32:04,791 --> 00:32:08,395
Joyful all ye nations rise.

743
00:32:08,428 --> 00:32:11,631
Join the triumph of the skies.

744
00:32:11,664 --> 00:32:18,838
Hark, the herald angels sing,
glory to the newborn king.

745
00:32:24,344 --> 00:32:26,680
You look great.

746
00:32:26,746 --> 00:32:28,140
What are you doing here?

747
00:32:28,810 --> 00:32:29,683
I'm your backup.

748
00:32:29,749 --> 00:32:31,840
My backup?

749
00:32:31,117 --> 00:32:32,752
Well, I just thought
that in case something

750
00:32:32,786 --> 00:32:35,755
goes wrong on this end,
you might need somebody.

751
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:37,900
Oh, no, that's OK.

752
00:32:37,123 --> 00:32:38,425
It's your Christmas vacation.

753
00:32:38,458 --> 00:32:40,930
You should go enjoy it.

754
00:32:40,126 --> 00:32:41,861
Are you kidding?

755
00:32:41,928 --> 00:32:44,300
This is the most exciting thing
that's ever happened to me.

756
00:32:44,970 --> 00:32:44,931
OK.

757
00:32:44,964 --> 00:32:46,366
So how's this work?

758
00:32:46,433 --> 00:32:49,669
So when I turned the
hourglass the first time,

759
00:32:49,703 --> 00:32:52,305
there were only a few minutes of
sand left, which is why I think

760
00:32:52,339 --> 00:32:53,606
my first trip was so short.

761
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,430
But the second time,
I got the full hour.

762
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:59,646
So you'll only be gone an hour.

763
00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:02,480
Barring any unforeseen
circumstances.

764
00:33:02,115 --> 00:33:04,317
Are you sure this
is a good idea?

765
00:33:04,351 --> 00:33:06,519
I mean, what if you change
something in the past?

766
00:33:06,553 --> 00:33:08,540
Won't that affect the future?

767
00:33:08,121 --> 00:33:09,489
It's going to be fine.

768
00:33:09,522 --> 00:33:11,491
What if somebody suspects you?

769
00:33:11,524 --> 00:33:13,660
Well, I've seen His Girl
Friday like a dozen times.

770
00:33:13,693 --> 00:33:16,620
I think if I just throw in a
buster here and a fella there,

771
00:33:16,129 --> 00:33:16,963
I'll blend right in.

772
00:33:16,996 --> 00:33:17,831
OK.

773
00:33:17,864 --> 00:33:19,566
OK.

774
00:33:19,632 --> 00:33:22,680
Lucy?

775
00:33:22,135 --> 00:33:24,904
Good luck.

776
00:33:24,971 --> 00:33:26,406
And say hey to Jack for me.

777
00:33:29,909 --> 00:33:32,245
[soft foreboding music]

778
00:33:32,312 --> 00:33:35,382

00:33:44,824 --> 00:33:47,694
[bright festive music]

781
00:33:58,938 --> 00:34:01,408
[excited screaming]

782
00:34:01,441 --> 00:34:02,242
Not today, ladies.

783
00:34:02,275 --> 00:34:03,410
Not today.

784
00:34:03,443 --> 00:34:05,111
Not before coffee.

785
00:34:05,178 --> 00:34:06,613
Well, hiya, girls.

786
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,947
I'll sign it for if you want.

787
00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:09,215
I'm in the picture, too.

788
00:34:09,249 --> 00:34:10,950
The name is Jack Huston.

789
00:34:11,170 --> 00:34:11,918
Here.

790
00:34:11,951 --> 00:34:13,530
There you are.

791
00:34:13,860 --> 00:34:14,287
Ah.

792
00:34:14,354 --> 00:34:16,220
Mr. West, got an
idea for you, sir.

793
00:34:18,692 --> 00:34:22,529
And then get this, he gives up
his wings because he loves her.

794
00:34:22,562 --> 00:34:23,897
What do you think?

795
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:25,650
I think he should stick
to saying the lines

796
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:26,466
and not writing them.

797
00:34:26,533 --> 00:34:29,350
[chuckles humorlessly]
But you'll consider it?

798
00:34:29,690 --> 00:34:31,370
[whistling]

799
00:34:31,710 --> 00:34:33,973

800
00:34:38,411 --> 00:34:41,915
[soft downbeat music]

801
00:34:55,328 --> 00:34:56,963
Ms Bullock?

802
00:34:56,996 --> 00:34:58,331
Ms. Bullock.

803
00:34:58,398 --> 00:34:59,399
Oh.

804
00:34:59,432 --> 00:35:00,633
Now, you listen here.

805
00:35:00,667 --> 00:35:01,768
You can't just
march up on a dame

806
00:35:01,801 --> 00:35:05,672
and give her the
what for, buster.

807
00:35:05,739 --> 00:35:08,740
Hey.

808
00:35:08,108 --> 00:35:09,900
Excuse me.

809
00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:09,843
Let go of me.

810
00:35:09,909 --> 00:35:11,611
I am not a piece of luggage.

811
00:35:11,644 --> 00:35:13,346
No, you're absolutely right.
Luggage comes with a tag.

812
00:35:13,413 --> 00:35:14,447
It lets you know
where it came from.

813
00:35:14,481 --> 00:35:16,160
Who are you?
Where are you from?

814
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:18,251
We called central casting,
and no one knows who you are.

815
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:20,120
Are you even Sandra Bullock?

816
00:35:20,153 --> 00:35:21,688
I'm Lucy Hardgrove.

817
00:35:21,755 --> 00:35:28,862
And you may not believe this,
but I'm from the studio.

818
00:35:28,928 --> 00:35:29,662
Studio?

819
00:35:29,696 --> 00:35:30,463
You don't say.

820
00:35:30,497 --> 00:35:32,198
Yes.

821
00:35:32,265 --> 00:35:36,603
Well, Mr. Balaban, he heard
about all the discord on set.

822
00:35:36,636 --> 00:35:38,104
He sent me to keep
an eye on things.

823
00:35:38,138 --> 00:35:39,172
Really?
Yes.

824
00:35:39,205 --> 00:35:40,540
He's a very busy man.

825
00:35:40,607 --> 00:35:42,676
Prove it.

826
00:35:42,709 --> 00:35:44,811
Oh, you took a bit part
in Meet Me in Poughkeepsie

827
00:35:44,844 --> 00:35:47,147
so that you could audition for
this part and get on the lot.

828
00:35:47,180 --> 00:35:50,150
[laughs] Do you know I camped
in front of that parking spot

829
00:35:50,183 --> 00:35:51,718
for three days?

830
00:35:51,785 --> 00:35:53,620
How did you know that?

831
00:35:53,653 --> 00:35:55,822
Well, I told you,
Mr. Balaban sent me.

832
00:35:55,855 --> 00:35:58,358
All right, well, obviously,
this is a misunderstanding.

833
00:35:58,391 --> 00:36:00,694
I apologize, Ms.
Hardgrove, and I hope

834
00:36:00,727 --> 00:36:02,620
there are no hard feelings.

835
00:36:02,128 --> 00:36:03,229
[chuckles]

836
00:36:03,296 --> 00:36:05,665
[chuckles] Of course not.

837
00:36:05,699 --> 00:36:08,735
[soft playful music]

838
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,476
[soft foreboding music]

839
00:36:16,509 --> 00:36:20,130
[light music]

840
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,353
He really doesn't
give up his wings.

841
00:36:26,386 --> 00:36:27,721
Ms. Hardgrove.

842
00:36:27,754 --> 00:36:31,324
[laughs] I just want
to introduce myself.

843
00:36:31,358 --> 00:36:32,492
Claude Lancaster.
I know.

844
00:36:32,525 --> 00:36:34,600
I'm such a fan.

845
00:36:34,940 --> 00:36:35,762
I just loved you in Mr.
Grayson Takes a Vacation.

846
00:36:35,829 --> 00:36:37,564
Oh, well, I have to
say, I've heard nothing

847
00:36:37,597 --> 00:36:41,401
but wonderful things about you.

848
00:36:41,434 --> 00:36:42,569
From whom?

849
00:36:42,602 --> 00:36:44,104
Well, Harold Balaban.

850
00:36:44,170 --> 00:36:47,440
I'm so pleased that he's
responded to my concerns.

851
00:36:47,507 --> 00:36:50,176
There's still time
to replace her.

852
00:36:50,210 --> 00:36:51,511
Replace her?

853
00:36:51,544 --> 00:36:52,946
Yes, it pains me
to even suggest it,

854
00:36:53,130 --> 00:36:56,182
but Hayward's last
three films were flops.

855
00:36:56,216 --> 00:36:57,784
She'll sink us.

856
00:36:57,851 --> 00:36:59,619
But don't you worry
your pretty little head.

857
00:36:59,686 --> 00:37:01,454
I have got some ideas
for who we might get.

858
00:37:01,521 --> 00:37:02,856
[laughs humorlessly]

859
00:37:02,889 --> 00:37:06,459
Took the liberty of
jotting the names down.

860
00:37:06,526 --> 00:37:11,364
And Mr. Balaban is
on board with this?

861
00:37:11,398 --> 00:37:14,670
I thought that's
why you were here.

862
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:15,680
Just testing you.

863
00:37:15,101 --> 00:37:16,469
[chuckling]

864
00:37:16,536 --> 00:37:19,372
[soft, light music]

865
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:24,878
Ava.

866
00:37:28,214 --> 00:37:32,285
You don't think they would
shut us down, do you?

867
00:37:32,318 --> 00:37:33,720
There'd be no reason.

868
00:37:33,753 --> 00:37:35,288
Besides the fact that
we're behind schedule

869
00:37:35,321 --> 00:37:36,623
and over budget?

870
00:37:36,656 --> 00:37:38,425
[chuckles softly]
Yeah, besides that.

871
00:37:38,458 --> 00:37:39,325
Then no.

872
00:37:39,392 --> 00:37:40,226
None at all.

873
00:37:40,260 --> 00:37:43,229
[dramatic music]

874
00:37:49,269 --> 00:37:52,739
[tense string music]

875
00:37:56,943 --> 00:37:57,744
Shoot.

876
00:38:00,613 --> 00:38:02,150
Hiya.
There you are.

877
00:38:02,820 --> 00:38:03,160
[glass shatters]

878
00:38:03,830 --> 00:38:04,184
Oh.

879
00:38:04,250 --> 00:38:05,185
No.

880
00:38:05,251 --> 00:38:06,319
No, no, no, no.

881
00:38:06,353 --> 00:38:07,587
[gasps]

882
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:08,655
It's OK.

883
00:38:08,688 --> 00:38:09,689
I'll take the blame.

884
00:38:09,756 --> 00:38:12,359
I'll say it's my fault. It's OK.

885
00:38:12,425 --> 00:38:14,160
Get this cleaned up.

886
00:38:14,194 --> 00:38:17,764
[heavy music]

887
00:38:20,166 --> 00:38:23,470
[foreboding music]

888
00:38:45,825 --> 00:38:49,896
What in the world?

889
00:38:49,963 --> 00:38:51,331
Ah.

890
00:38:51,364 --> 00:38:54,234
[vibrates lips] Ma.

891
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:55,201
[clears throat]

892
00:38:55,235 --> 00:38:56,569
Buzz off, McGee.

893
00:38:56,636 --> 00:38:58,505
I know what you're doing.

894
00:38:58,538 --> 00:38:59,873
Reading the funny pages?

895
00:38:59,906 --> 00:39:01,307
You've been sending
word to Mr. Balaban

896
00:39:01,341 --> 00:39:04,770
that there's trouble on set,
trying to muscle me out.

897
00:39:04,144 --> 00:39:07,247
Well, that's a one-way
ticket to the naughty list.

898
00:39:07,313 --> 00:39:09,382
Paranoia is an ugly
look on you, Ava.

899
00:39:09,416 --> 00:39:10,917
Yeah?

900
00:39:10,984 --> 00:39:13,420
Well, that suit's not
exactly doing you any favors.

901
00:39:13,486 --> 00:39:14,988
That's some crack.

902
00:39:15,210 --> 00:39:16,322
Yeah, but can you fix it?

903
00:39:16,356 --> 00:39:17,757
Not sure.

904
00:39:17,824 --> 00:39:19,592
I need that hourglass.

905
00:39:19,659 --> 00:39:21,261
For the movie-- picture.

906
00:39:21,327 --> 00:39:22,620
I'll do what I can.

907
00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:23,263
I can't make any promises.

908
00:39:29,936 --> 00:39:31,538
There she is.

909
00:39:31,571 --> 00:39:33,600
Well, that was some
spill you took.

910
00:39:33,390 --> 00:39:34,507
Give her some space.

911
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:37,243
I hope somebody got the
license plate of that bus.

912
00:39:37,277 --> 00:39:38,211
She's concussed.

913
00:39:38,244 --> 00:39:39,279
I'm fine.

914
00:39:39,346 --> 00:39:40,130
Thanks.

915
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:42,415
Lucy, what year is it?

916
00:39:42,449 --> 00:39:43,616
1947.

917
00:39:43,683 --> 00:39:44,617
Ah.

918
00:39:44,684 --> 00:39:46,252
And who's the president?

919
00:39:46,286 --> 00:39:47,620
Oh.

920
00:39:47,687 --> 00:39:48,621
Mm, yeah, we should
get her to a doctor.

921
00:39:48,688 --> 00:39:50,900
No, no, I know this.

922
00:39:53,193 --> 00:39:53,793
Truman?

923
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:55,528
That a girl.

924
00:39:55,562 --> 00:39:56,796
Oh, where did he go?
Who?

925
00:39:56,863 --> 00:39:58,531
Oh, the man with the hourglass.
Gus?

926
00:39:58,565 --> 00:39:59,466
Where did he go?

927
00:39:59,532 --> 00:40:02,302
I think he went that way.

928
00:40:02,369 --> 00:40:04,471
Who's your friend,
and what's her hurry?

929
00:40:04,537 --> 00:40:05,805
Well, it's Balaban's girl.

930
00:40:05,872 --> 00:40:07,374
Just flew in from LA.

931
00:40:07,407 --> 00:40:08,208
Strange duck.

932
00:40:10,877 --> 00:40:12,412
Yes, she is.

933
00:40:12,445 --> 00:40:15,915
[light string music]

934
00:40:17,283 --> 00:40:18,418
An angel?

935
00:40:18,451 --> 00:40:20,253
Well, now that depends
on you, my friend.

936
00:40:20,286 --> 00:40:21,454
I am here to help.

937
00:40:21,488 --> 00:40:24,958
Now, what's this about a girl?

938
00:40:24,991 --> 00:40:26,826
We were meant to be married.

939
00:40:26,893 --> 00:40:28,294
I fouled it up.

940
00:40:28,328 --> 00:40:30,230
I'd need a miracle to
make things right again.

941
00:40:30,263 --> 00:40:32,465
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

942
00:40:32,499 --> 00:40:34,601
and there's a miracle
around every corner, pal.

943
00:40:34,634 --> 00:40:35,402
[chuckles]

944
00:40:36,403 --> 00:40:37,737
Now where is this girl?

945
00:40:37,771 --> 00:40:38,571
There she is.

946
00:40:45,311 --> 00:40:47,514
Rebecca.

947
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:48,815
And cut.

948
00:40:48,848 --> 00:40:50,183
We good?

949
00:40:50,250 --> 00:40:51,518
It's North Carolina,
not the North Pole.

950
00:40:53,853 --> 00:40:55,880
Gus?
Yeah.

951
00:40:55,121 --> 00:40:55,755
He left.

952
00:40:55,789 --> 00:40:56,690
He left?

953
00:40:56,756 --> 00:40:57,691
Is he coming back today?

954
00:40:57,757 --> 00:40:59,359
No.

955
00:40:59,426 --> 00:41:00,960
Said he needed to take the
hourglass off site after you

956
00:41:00,994 --> 00:41:02,328
cracked that thing like an egg.

957
00:41:02,362 --> 00:41:05,310
[sighs] OK.

958
00:41:05,980 --> 00:41:06,866
When is the call time tomorrow?

959
00:41:06,933 --> 00:41:07,701
It's Christmas Eve.

960
00:41:07,767 --> 00:41:09,669
We're off.

961
00:41:09,703 --> 00:41:12,939
But he should be back for
the party tomorrow night.

962
00:41:16,376 --> 00:41:19,713
Ava, how do I look?

963
00:41:19,779 --> 00:41:20,714
Up to something.

964
00:41:20,780 --> 00:41:22,480
Oh, no, no, no.

965
00:41:22,115 --> 00:41:23,550
She's a stranger in
a brand new place.

966
00:41:23,616 --> 00:41:25,218
I just thought she might
enjoy some company for supper.

967
00:41:25,285 --> 00:41:26,653
That's all.

968
00:41:26,686 --> 00:41:28,210
So you can sweet talk her
into a three-picture deal

969
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:29,122
over martinis?

970
00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:31,524
[laughs] I'm a gentleman, Ava.

971
00:41:31,558 --> 00:41:32,659
I'm going to wait for dessert.

972
00:41:32,692 --> 00:41:34,461
Stop it Jack.

973
00:41:47,374 --> 00:41:49,642
Is this seat taken?

974
00:41:49,676 --> 00:41:50,977
I'm expecting someone.

975
00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:51,845
Ah.

976
00:41:59,486 --> 00:42:00,420
[sighs]

977
00:42:02,322 --> 00:42:05,225
What looks good?

978
00:42:05,258 --> 00:42:07,270
Ha, figgy pudding.

979
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,996
Have you ever had figgy pudding?

980
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:11,698
Once when I was a kid.

981
00:42:11,731 --> 00:42:13,666
What's in it, I wonder?

982
00:42:13,700 --> 00:42:15,268
Figs.

983
00:42:15,335 --> 00:42:16,770
Say, you don't suppose that's
where they got the name,

984
00:42:16,836 --> 00:42:17,671
do you?

985
00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:21,341
Would you care to join me?

986
00:42:21,374 --> 00:42:22,542
Well, if you insist.

987
00:42:22,575 --> 00:42:24,110
Now, you sure he won't mind?
Who?

988
00:42:24,177 --> 00:42:25,512
The gentleman that
you're waiting for.

989
00:42:25,545 --> 00:42:27,280
I'm not waiting for anyone.

990
00:42:27,347 --> 00:42:28,448
Gee, you don't say.

991
00:42:34,421 --> 00:42:40,860
Now, I hope that Mr. Balaban
knows just how grateful

992
00:42:40,894 --> 00:42:43,129
I am to be in this picture.

993
00:42:43,196 --> 00:42:44,698
And I want to assure him--

994
00:42:44,731 --> 00:42:46,199
thank you.

995
00:42:46,232 --> 00:42:48,134
And I want to assure him
that a bet on Jack Huston

996
00:42:48,201 --> 00:42:49,769
is a surefire winner.

997
00:42:49,803 --> 00:42:51,705
And you'd like me to put
in a good word for you.

998
00:42:51,738 --> 00:42:53,873
No, I mean, only if
you really mean it.

999
00:42:53,907 --> 00:42:55,241
I don't think that I need to.

1000
00:42:55,275 --> 00:43:00,460
I think your work really
speaks for itself.

1001
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,783
I mean, a soda is a nickel here.

1002
00:43:03,817 --> 00:43:04,884
It's not where you're from?

1003
00:43:04,918 --> 00:43:05,952
No.

1004
00:43:05,985 --> 00:43:07,954
And where is that exactly?

1005
00:43:07,987 --> 00:43:08,888
Santa Monica.

1006
00:43:08,922 --> 00:43:09,823
Oh, Santa Monica.

1007
00:43:09,889 --> 00:43:10,924
By way of Ohio.

1008
00:43:10,957 --> 00:43:12,292
Oh.

1009
00:43:12,325 --> 00:43:14,227
That must be tough
being this far away

1010
00:43:14,260 --> 00:43:16,396
from home at Christmas time.

1011
00:43:16,429 --> 00:43:22,235
Yeah, it's definitely
not what I expected.

1012
00:43:22,268 --> 00:43:25,271
And what would you be
doing if you weren't here?

1013
00:43:25,305 --> 00:43:27,774
My sister and I go
caroling every Christmas.

1014
00:43:27,807 --> 00:43:29,109
It's kind of a tradition.

1015
00:43:29,142 --> 00:43:30,343
We hit every house
in the neighborhood

1016
00:43:30,410 --> 00:43:33,790
until our voices are hoarse.

1017
00:43:33,113 --> 00:43:35,782
Then we drink hot chocolate.

1018
00:43:35,815 --> 00:43:38,485
Now that is something
that I can help with.

1019
00:43:38,518 --> 00:43:40,487
You know a good hot
chocolate joint around here?

1020
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,756
I know a great hot
chocolate joint.

1021
00:43:42,789 --> 00:43:43,456
All right.

1022
00:43:43,490 --> 00:43:44,524
I'm not hungry, anyway.

1023
00:43:44,591 --> 00:43:45,258
Let's go.

1024
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:48,428
[light festive music]

1025
00:43:59,272 --> 00:44:01,107
Well, what about you?

1026
00:44:01,141 --> 00:44:03,376
Any Christmas traditions?

1027
00:44:03,443 --> 00:44:06,780
Well, we didn't have a
lot when I was growing up.

1028
00:44:06,813 --> 00:44:09,490
But my father, who
worked at a factory,

1029
00:44:09,115 --> 00:44:11,851
made sure that he'd always saved
enough money to take my mother

1030
00:44:11,885 --> 00:44:14,788
and I to a nickelodeon on
Christmas Day every year.

1031
00:44:14,821 --> 00:44:16,489
And my mother
would always insist

1032
00:44:16,523 --> 00:44:18,958
that I choose the picture,
and I always chose a comedy

1033
00:44:18,992 --> 00:44:21,327
because they were her favorite.

1034
00:44:21,361 --> 00:44:25,331
And I would sit in
that dark theater,

1035
00:44:25,365 --> 00:44:29,402
light dancing in her
eyes, watching her laugh.

1036
00:44:29,469 --> 00:44:31,805
And that was the
best Christmas gift.

1037
00:44:31,838 --> 00:44:33,707
Is that why you wanted
to become an actor?

1038
00:44:33,740 --> 00:44:35,375
It sure is, yeah.

1039
00:44:35,408 --> 00:44:37,577
I started out as a stunt man.

1040
00:44:37,644 --> 00:44:42,480
I had a job on a cowboy
picture called Wagons West.

1041
00:44:42,820 --> 00:44:45,151
And the actor got bucked off
the pony, and I fit the chaps.

1042
00:44:45,185 --> 00:44:46,419
I got a promotion.

1043
00:44:46,486 --> 00:44:50,857
I got two lines, which
I still remember.

1044
00:44:50,890 --> 00:44:53,193
"He ain't lying, sheriff.

1045
00:44:53,226 --> 00:44:55,495
The horse belongs
to Billy the Kid."

1046
00:44:55,528 --> 00:44:58,998
[laughs] That was you?

1047
00:44:59,320 --> 00:44:59,866
So you've seen it?

1048
00:44:59,899 --> 00:45:01,434
Yes, I've seen it.

1049
00:45:01,501 --> 00:45:02,936
I watch a ton of Turner Classic
Movies and the Criterion

1050
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:04,504
Collection and--

1051
00:45:04,537 --> 00:45:05,739
You lost me, bright eyes.

1052
00:45:05,772 --> 00:45:09,609
I'll need a map to
find my way back.

1053
00:45:09,676 --> 00:45:13,130
That's always been my dream,
to be up on that silver screen,

1054
00:45:13,460 --> 00:45:14,247
to see my name in lights.

1055
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,582
Mm.

1056
00:45:15,615 --> 00:45:18,180
Yeah, really make your
mark in the world.

1057
00:45:18,510 --> 00:45:19,753
Yeah.

1058
00:45:19,786 --> 00:45:22,288
So I hope your boss can
find it in his heart to keep

1059
00:45:22,355 --> 00:45:23,857
this movie up and running.

1060
00:45:23,890 --> 00:45:25,692
I've got a very good feeling
about this little picture.

1061
00:45:25,725 --> 00:45:28,762
I think it's going
to be the one.

1062
00:45:28,795 --> 00:45:30,960
Mm.

1063
00:45:30,130 --> 00:45:36,202
Now, who are you really?

1064
00:45:36,236 --> 00:45:37,871
What do you mean?

1065
00:45:37,904 --> 00:45:39,472
Well, nobody hoofs it all the
way from Ohio to Hollywood

1066
00:45:39,539 --> 00:45:40,540
to sit behind a desk.

1067
00:45:43,143 --> 00:45:45,111
No, no, let me guess.

1068
00:45:45,145 --> 00:45:46,460
You're not an actress.

1069
00:45:46,790 --> 00:45:46,980
[laughs] No.

1070
00:45:47,470 --> 00:45:49,215
Singer?

1071
00:45:49,249 --> 00:45:50,450
Ah.

1072
00:45:50,483 --> 00:45:53,219
You're a writer.

1073
00:45:53,253 --> 00:45:54,220
How did you know that?

1074
00:45:54,254 --> 00:45:55,880
Yeah, lucky guess.

1075
00:45:55,121 --> 00:45:55,955
How did you know that?

1076
00:45:55,989 --> 00:45:56,990
It's lucky guess, Lucy.

1077
00:45:57,570 --> 00:45:58,291
Now tell me your story.

1078
00:45:58,324 --> 00:45:59,125
Uh.

1079
00:46:01,961 --> 00:46:05,980
Well, I'm not sure there's too
much I can say about myself.

1080
00:46:05,131 --> 00:46:06,566
Well, hold on now,
that's not fair.

1081
00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:07,734
I just told you my sad story.

1082
00:46:07,767 --> 00:46:09,469
You got to tell me something.

1083
00:46:09,502 --> 00:46:10,670
Start at the beginning.

1084
00:46:10,737 --> 00:46:12,138
What's your favorite color?
Green.

1085
00:46:12,172 --> 00:46:13,807
Green.
What's your favorite number?

1086
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:14,841
17 and 1/2.

1087
00:46:14,908 --> 00:46:16,109
What's your picture?

1088
00:46:16,142 --> 00:46:16,910
Wagons West.

1089
00:46:16,943 --> 00:46:19,279
[laughs]

1090
00:46:19,312 --> 00:46:22,749
[gentle music]

1091
00:46:22,782 --> 00:46:26,786
We had a poinsettia on
our table every Christmas.

1092
00:46:26,820 --> 00:46:28,922
My mother was a seamstress
for the mayor's wife,

1093
00:46:28,955 --> 00:46:30,924
and she would gift us one
every season because she

1094
00:46:30,957 --> 00:46:33,126
said it wasn't really
Christmas until

1095
00:46:33,159 --> 00:46:35,161
you had your "poin-settia."

1096
00:46:35,195 --> 00:46:36,996
Are you still close
with your folks?

1097
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:38,298
No.

1098
00:46:38,331 --> 00:46:39,933
I've been an orphan
for a long time.

1099
00:46:39,966 --> 00:46:41,634
They both passed.

1100
00:46:41,668 --> 00:46:42,936
Sorry.

1101
00:46:42,969 --> 00:46:45,472
My mother actually
left when I was little.

1102
00:46:45,505 --> 00:46:51,311
So it's just been my dad
and my sister and me.

1103
00:46:51,344 --> 00:46:52,479
I'm so sorry.

1104
00:46:52,512 --> 00:46:53,346
Oh, it's OK.

1105
00:46:53,380 --> 00:46:54,447
Thank you.

1106
00:46:54,481 --> 00:46:56,816
But I learned a valuable lesson.

1107
00:46:56,850 --> 00:46:59,119
If you put your faith in
people, eventually they're

1108
00:46:59,152 --> 00:47:00,286
going to break your heart.

1109
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,355
So you have to protect yourself.

1110
00:47:02,389 --> 00:47:04,791
You know?

1111
00:47:04,824 --> 00:47:06,559
I've been giving
a lot of thought

1112
00:47:06,626 --> 00:47:10,530
to your idea about Charlie
giving up his wings for love.

1113
00:47:10,563 --> 00:47:11,831
And I think that he would.

1114
00:47:14,868 --> 00:47:16,202
Would you?

1115
00:47:16,236 --> 00:47:17,704
What?

1116
00:47:17,737 --> 00:47:20,240
Would you really give
up what you wanted

1117
00:47:20,306 --> 00:47:22,676
more than anything
else in the world

1118
00:47:22,709 --> 00:47:24,210
for someone else's happiness?

1119
00:47:27,147 --> 00:47:29,150
I don't know.

1120
00:47:29,490 --> 00:47:36,489
But I hope that one day, I love
someone enough to find out.

1121
00:47:36,523 --> 00:47:39,526
[gentle music]

1122
00:47:41,327 --> 00:47:43,329
Detective pictures.

1123
00:47:43,363 --> 00:47:44,597
What?

1124
00:47:44,664 --> 00:47:46,166
What you write,
you write detective

1125
00:47:46,199 --> 00:47:47,367
pictures like Dorothy Parker.

1126
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,735
[laughs] What
makes you say that?

1127
00:47:48,768 --> 00:47:50,270
Well, I mean, you
don't strike me

1128
00:47:50,337 --> 00:47:52,372
as the sword and
sandals type, and you're

1129
00:47:52,405 --> 00:47:54,107
a little down on romance.

1130
00:47:54,174 --> 00:47:55,442
I am-- what--

1131
00:47:55,508 --> 00:47:57,911
I am not down on romance.

1132
00:47:57,944 --> 00:48:01,948
I just want to write something
that's real and meaningful.

1133
00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:03,850
Mm.

1134
00:48:03,883 --> 00:48:07,200
Can't get any more meaningful
than two lonely hearts

1135
00:48:07,530 --> 00:48:10,757
finding a little slice of
happiness in this crazy world.

1136
00:48:10,790 --> 00:48:13,226
Give a little hope
to us poor saps.

1137
00:48:13,259 --> 00:48:17,964
As my friend Jimmy likes
to say, "The best movies,

1138
00:48:18,310 --> 00:48:19,933
they inspire us.

1139
00:48:19,966 --> 00:48:24,700
They show us what we could be,
appeal to our better angels."

1140
00:48:24,104 --> 00:48:26,473
[laughs] That's very good.

1141
00:48:26,539 --> 00:48:27,240
Thank you.

1142
00:48:27,273 --> 00:48:28,541
Yes.

1143
00:48:28,575 --> 00:48:29,409
I don't write
detective pictures.

1144
00:48:29,442 --> 00:48:30,710
Oh, oof.

1145
00:48:30,744 --> 00:48:33,279
Usually, I am very good at this.

1146
00:48:33,313 --> 00:48:34,481
Hold on.

1147
00:48:34,547 --> 00:48:36,583
Let me see.

1148

[whistles]

1149
00:48:39,319 --> 00:48:40,587
You're an early riser.

1150
00:48:40,620 --> 00:48:41,388
Night owl.

1151
00:48:41,421 --> 00:48:44,224
Mmm.

1152
00:48:44,257 --> 00:48:45,658
Ah.

1153
00:48:45,725 --> 00:48:46,593
You prefer dogs to cats

1154
00:48:46,626 --> 00:48:47,961
Meow, meow.

1155
00:48:47,994 --> 00:48:49,295
You like your coffee
with cream and sugar.

1156
00:48:49,329 --> 00:48:50,960
Black.

1157
00:48:50,130 --> 00:48:51,765
Mmm.

1158
00:48:51,798 --> 00:48:53,633
You arrived at parties
late and you leave early.

1159
00:48:53,666 --> 00:48:54,901
Now that I do.

1160
00:48:54,934 --> 00:48:56,200
Me too.

1161
00:48:56,690 --> 00:48:58,638
See?

1162
00:48:58,672 --> 00:48:59,506
Give me your hand.

1163
00:48:59,572 --> 00:49:00,507
Oh, gosh.

1164
00:49:00,573 --> 00:49:01,408
I forgot.

1165
00:49:01,441 --> 00:49:02,842
OK.

1166
00:49:02,909 --> 00:49:04,411
High five.

1167
00:49:04,444 --> 00:49:05,979
It's like good job.

1168
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:06,613
Come on, try.

1169
00:49:06,646 --> 00:49:09,820
High five.

1170
00:49:09,115 --> 00:49:11,317
Yeah, it's something
we do where I'm from.

By way of Ohio.

1173
00:49:14,154 --> 00:49:15,121
Huh.

Oh, Ms. Majors.

Yes?

1178
00:49:30,637 --> 00:49:31,538
Have you seen this Hardgrove?

1179
00:49:31,604 --> 00:49:32,439
What?

1180
00:49:32,472 --> 00:49:33,773
No.
Why?

1181
00:49:33,807 --> 00:49:35,175
Well, she mentioned
she wanted to take

1182
00:49:35,208 --> 00:49:37,177
some additional reference
photos of the hourglass.

1183
00:49:37,210 --> 00:49:39,212
I thought I'd give her a
chance before it's gone.

1184
00:49:39,279 --> 00:49:40,347
Gone?

1185
00:49:40,380 --> 00:49:42,148
Where?

1186
00:49:42,182 --> 00:49:43,616
It's going to be picked up by
the Smithsonian curator right

1187
00:49:43,650 --> 00:49:44,617
after the holiday party.

1188
00:49:44,651 --> 00:49:45,952

Yeah.

1190
00:49:47,487 --> 00:49:49,289
So if you see her,
you'll tell her?

1191
00:50:02,902 --> 00:50:05,638
Well, thank you for the hot
chocolate and the company.

1192

See?

1193
00:50:07,340 --> 00:50:10,477
I'm not half bad if you don't
race off mid conversation.

1194
00:50:10,510 --> 00:50:14,481
Well, good night.

1195
00:50:14,514 --> 00:50:16,416
Well, no, I'm going to
walk you to your room.

1196

Oh, oh.

1197
00:50:17,984 --> 00:50:19,352
No, that won't be necessary.

1198
00:50:19,386 --> 00:50:20,487
I insist.

[soft, light music]

1200
00:50:23,523 --> 00:50:24,357
Uh.

Oh, well, this is-- this is me.

1202
00:50:35,535 --> 00:50:37,370
Huh.

1203
00:50:37,404 --> 00:50:39,390
Are you sure?

1204
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:39,939
Sure.

1205
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:41,374
And you're sure you're sure?

1206
00:50:41,408 --> 00:50:42,776
I'm sure I'm sure.

1207
00:50:42,842 --> 00:50:46,713
That's funny because
359, that's mine.

Oh, three.

1209
00:50:47,714 --> 00:50:48,682
Oh, does that say three?

1210
00:50:48,715 --> 00:50:52,180
Um, I'm one floor up.

1211
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,355
So I guess I'm walking
you to your door.

screwy, aren't you?

Good night, Lucy.

Excuse me.
Yes.

I think Judy Garland is
stuck in your elevator.

1227
00:51:57,584 --> 00:52:01,210
You're not really thinking of
recasting Rebecca, are you?

1228
00:52:01,870 --> 00:52:02,288
Where did you get that idea?

Well, a film is ever evolving.

It's a good ending.

1233
00:52:19,472 --> 00:52:22,609
I'm sorry they're
making you change it.

1234
00:52:22,642 --> 00:52:25,311
No one's asked me to change it.

1235
00:52:25,345 --> 00:52:26,212
They didn't?

1236
00:52:26,279 --> 00:52:27,647
Not unless you're the messenger.

1237
00:52:27,681 --> 00:52:28,848
No, I like it.

1238
00:52:28,882 --> 00:52:29,683
Huh.

00:52:32,385 --> 00:52:35,388
I will admit Harold
had his reservations,

1240
00:52:35,455 --> 00:52:38,491
but it's the only
ending I could see.

1241
00:52:38,525 --> 00:52:39,893
Yes, it's honest.

1242

gives us happy endings.

My dad always says Christmas
is good for two things,

1246
00:52:55,342 --> 00:52:59,646
and one of them is reconnecting
with people we love.

1247
00:52:59,679 --> 00:53:00,847
What's the other?

1248
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,182
[laughs] Eggnog.

1249
00:53:02,215 --> 00:53:04,818
[chuckles] You heard her.

Hey, cheers.

We were together for 15 years.

Mmm.

1255
00:53:14,561 --> 00:53:16,396
Every Christmas, I'd always
ask for the same thing--

1256
00:53:16,429 --> 00:53:17,197
a new tie.

1257
00:53:17,230 --> 00:53:18,398
[laughs]

1258
00:53:18,431 --> 00:53:20,333
She always insisted
on tying it for me

1259
00:53:20,367 --> 00:53:22,100
to make sure it was straight.

1260
00:53:22,350 --> 00:53:24,237
It's the only time I ever
let her fuss over me.

1261
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:32,120
And then one day, she told me
that she was tired of sharing

1262
00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:33,460
me with my job.

1263
00:53:35,715 --> 00:53:36,716
I can't blame her.

1264
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:38,351
It's a lonely life.

1265
00:53:38,385 --> 00:53:41,588
Have you thought about
telling her that you miss her?

Great gal like that doesn't
wait around for an old fool

1268
00:53:46,393 --> 00:53:49,396
Thanks, but I would rather
spare myself the heartache.

1269
00:53:54,300 --> 00:53:56,436
It doesn't seem like you've
been spared much at all.

1270
00:54:01,541 --> 00:54:04,811
[gentle piano music]

1271
00:54:34,407 --> 00:54:36,843
[chatter]

1272
00:54:49,189 --> 00:54:52,292
[light music]

1273
00:54:56,363 --> 00:54:58,264
What are you going to
do for Christmas, Lucy?

1274
00:54:58,298 --> 00:55:03,200
I know, let's time travel back
to 1947 and get stuck there.

1275
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,106
[sighs] Why couldn't the
hourglass be a DeLorean?

1276
00:55:06,139 --> 00:55:09,476
[upbeat piano music]

1277
00:55:19,619 --> 00:55:20,653
Hi.

1278
00:55:20,687 --> 00:55:21,354
Don't stop on my account.

1279
00:55:21,388 --> 00:55:22,622
I was enjoying the show.

1280
00:55:22,655 --> 00:55:25,558
Actually, you're in
time for the duet.

1281
00:55:25,625 --> 00:55:27,694
Oh.

1282
00:55:27,727 --> 00:55:29,195
Oh, brother.

1283
00:55:29,229 --> 00:55:30,130
I mean, you said for
yourself, you go caroling

1284
00:55:30,163 --> 00:55:31,131
every Christmas Eve, right?

1285
00:55:31,164 --> 00:55:32,332
That's true.

1286
00:55:32,365 --> 00:55:36,200
Well, you know "Jingle Bells"?

1287
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,372
Do I know "Jingle Bells"?

1288
00:55:39,406 --> 00:55:40,874
Say, do I know "Jingle "Bells"?

1289
00:55:40,907 --> 00:55:41,675
[laughs]

1290
00:55:43,677 --> 00:55:47,180
["jingle bells" playing]

1291
00:55:50,650 --> 00:55:51,685
Oh, excuse me.

1292
00:55:54,521 --> 00:55:56,389
(SINGING) Dashing
through the snow--

1293
00:55:56,423 --> 00:55:57,557
Oh.

1294
00:55:57,590 --> 00:56:01,194
(SINGING) --on a one
horse open sleigh.

1295
00:56:01,227 --> 00:56:06,332
O'er the fields we go,
laughing all the way.

1296
00:56:06,366 --> 00:56:08,100
(SINGING) Bells on bobtail ring.

1297
00:56:08,340 --> 00:56:09,350
There it is.

1298
00:56:09,690 --> 00:56:10,503
(SINGING) Making spirits bright.

1299
00:56:10,537 --> 00:56:11,705
Nice.

1300
00:56:11,738 --> 00:56:13,707
(SINGING) What fun it
is to laugh and sing

1301
00:56:13,740 --> 00:56:16,242
a sleighing song tonight.

1302
00:56:16,276 --> 00:56:20,113
(BOTH SINGING) Oh, jingle
bells, jingle bells,

1303
00:56:20,180 --> 00:56:22,515
jingle all the way.

1304
00:56:22,549 --> 00:56:26,286
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh.

1305
00:56:26,353 --> 00:56:28,521
Jingle bells, jingle bells.

1306
00:56:28,555 --> 00:56:29,856
(SINGING) Jingle all the way.

1307
00:56:29,889 --> 00:56:31,524
Beautiful.

1308
00:56:31,558 --> 00:56:34,194
(BOTH SINGING) Oh, what fun
it is to ride in a one horse

1309
00:56:34,227 --> 00:56:38,932
open sleigh.

1310
00:56:38,965 --> 00:56:39,766
[laughs]

1311
00:56:39,799 --> 00:56:40,600
There we go.

1312
00:56:40,633 --> 00:56:41,434
That's--

1313
00:56:44,537 --> 00:56:48,208
They never should have cut you
for Meet Me in Poughkeepsie.

1314
00:56:48,241 --> 00:56:51,111
Better save the encore.

1315
00:56:51,144 --> 00:56:52,712
You hear the news?

1316
00:56:52,746 --> 00:56:53,713
What news?

1317
00:56:53,747 --> 00:56:55,480
Hayward's out.

1318
00:56:55,810 --> 00:56:56,820
She's fired?

1319
00:56:56,116 --> 00:56:57,830
She quit.

1320
00:56:57,117 --> 00:56:59,252
[dramatic music]

1321
00:57:02,722 --> 00:57:04,591
What do you mean she's gone?

1322
00:57:04,624 --> 00:57:07,761
Peggy said that she grabbed
all of her stuff and took off.

1323
00:57:07,794 --> 00:57:10,296
Had the sound guys
toting her luggage.

1324
00:57:10,330 --> 00:57:12,980
Maybe it's time to replace her.
No.

1325
00:57:12,132 --> 00:57:13,433
You can't.

1326
00:57:13,466 --> 00:57:14,567
What about everything
you shot already?

1327
00:57:14,601 --> 00:57:17,637
[sighs] We'll cut our losses.

1328
00:57:17,671 --> 00:57:19,339
There's nothing we can do.

1329
00:57:19,406 --> 00:57:22,750
The studio will jump at the
chance to cast a bigger name.

1330
00:57:22,108 --> 00:57:24,611
It was the fight of my
life to get them to agree

1331
00:57:24,644 --> 00:57:26,120
to Ava in the first place.

1332
00:57:26,790 --> 00:57:27,447
Just give me today.

1333
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,150
I'll find her.

1334
00:57:29,820 --> 00:57:30,950
Please, it's Christmas Eve.

1335
00:57:30,984 --> 00:57:32,285
One day.

1336
00:57:32,318 --> 00:57:34,320
Hey, wait, where are you going?

1337
00:57:34,354 --> 00:57:35,455
Hold on.

1338
00:57:35,488 --> 00:57:37,123
Lucy, what are you going to do?

1339
00:57:37,157 --> 00:57:38,625
I'm going to go search every
hotel, airport, and bus station

1340
00:57:38,658 --> 00:57:40,326
until I find her.
She can't have gotten far.

1341
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,295
Why are you sticking
your neck out?

1342
00:57:42,328 --> 00:57:44,300
You heard what West said.

1343
00:57:44,970 --> 00:57:45,465
Your boss never wanted her.

1344
00:57:45,498 --> 00:57:47,133
He'll probably be over the moon.

1345
00:57:47,167 --> 00:57:49,803
Any meddling behind his back is
going to land you in hot water.

1346
00:57:49,836 --> 00:57:50,537
[laughs]

1347
00:57:50,603 --> 00:57:52,339
Now, I like Ava.

1348
00:57:52,372 --> 00:57:53,773
But you don't owe her anything.

1349
00:57:53,807 --> 00:57:55,800
Yes, I do.

1350
00:57:55,410 --> 00:57:56,943
This whole thing happened
because I came in.

1351
00:57:56,976 --> 00:57:58,378
I'm going to make it right now.
Is there a phone around here?

1352
00:57:58,445 --> 00:58:01,470
Lucy, you may be OK with
crossing Mr. Balaban,

1353
00:58:01,114 --> 00:58:04,984
but I got a three-picture
deal on the line.

1354
00:58:05,180 --> 00:58:05,819
I understand.

1355
00:58:05,852 --> 00:58:06,953
I do, actually.

1356
00:58:06,986 --> 00:58:08,955
I think there's a
phone at the inn.

1357
00:58:08,988 --> 00:58:11,858
[soft music]

1358
00:58:12,692 --> 00:58:15,729
[light festive music]

1359
00:58:18,131 --> 00:58:19,320
[horn honks]

1360
00:58:21,340 --> 00:58:21,868
Hop in, kid.

1361
00:58:24,971 --> 00:58:26,740
I got a tip from the
parking attendant.

1362
00:58:26,806 --> 00:58:29,843
I heard that she was headed
for the train station.

1363
00:58:29,876 --> 00:58:30,577
Come on.

1364
00:58:30,643 --> 00:58:34,470
[upbeat jazzy music]

1365
00:58:39,319 --> 00:58:40,854
Sorry.

1366
00:58:40,887 --> 00:58:42,220
Excuse me.

1367
00:58:42,550 --> 00:58:43,423
What time is it?

1368
00:58:43,490 --> 00:58:45,910
Oh, it's going to be a
miracle if we find her.

1369
00:58:45,158 --> 00:58:47,827
Well, lucky for you,
it's Christmas time,

1370
00:58:47,861 --> 00:58:49,763
and there's a miracle
around every corner.

1371
00:58:49,829 --> 00:58:51,640
That's a line from the movie.

1372
00:58:51,970 --> 00:58:52,320
It's a good line.

1373
00:58:52,650 --> 00:58:53,330
Ah, see?

1374
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:54,667
There she is.

1375
00:58:54,701 --> 00:58:57,203
[clears throat] Ava.

1376
00:58:57,237 --> 00:58:59,372
Save your breath, Huston.

1377
00:58:59,406 --> 00:59:00,273
I've made up my mind.

1378
00:59:00,340 --> 00:59:01,207
Come on.

1379
00:59:01,241 --> 00:59:02,108
Come back to set.

1380
00:59:02,175 --> 00:59:03,710
We need you.

1381
00:59:03,743 --> 00:59:05,712
You and I both know I
wasn't the studio's choice,

1382
00:59:05,745 --> 00:59:07,213
first, second, or third.

1383
00:59:07,247 --> 00:59:09,783
Mr. Balaban's had my
replacement lined up for weeks,

1384
00:59:09,849 --> 00:59:11,751
with the enthusiastic
endorsement of Mr.

1385
00:59:11,785 --> 00:59:13,219
Claude Lancaster no doubt.

1386
00:59:13,253 --> 00:59:14,721
Who cares what they think?

1387
00:59:14,754 --> 00:59:16,389
You were born to play this role.

1388
00:59:16,423 --> 00:59:17,724
She's right.

1389
00:59:17,757 --> 00:59:18,758
Worst thing you can
do in this business

1390
00:59:18,792 --> 00:59:20,193
is overstay your welcome.

1391
00:59:20,226 --> 00:59:22,562
The audience gave up
on me a long time ago.

1392
00:59:22,595 --> 00:59:23,763
Maybe it's time I took the hint.

1393
00:59:23,797 --> 00:59:25,265
What are you going to do?

1394
00:59:25,298 --> 00:59:26,933
I haven't decided yet.

1395
00:59:26,966 --> 00:59:30,700
Maybe I'll buy a farm with
some chickens and an old goat.

1396
00:59:30,103 --> 00:59:31,404
A goat?

1397
00:59:31,438 --> 00:59:32,906
Yes, get a slice of
that simple life.

1398
00:59:32,939 --> 00:59:34,274
Listen.

1399
00:59:34,307 --> 00:59:35,742
I know things seem
bad right now.

1400
00:59:35,775 --> 00:59:39,913
But you are destined
for great things,

1401
00:59:39,946 --> 00:59:42,615
and it all starts
with this part.

1402
00:59:42,649 --> 00:59:44,284
Your friend talks
like a fortune cookie.

1403
00:59:44,317 --> 00:59:46,286
I know, that's a
part of her charm.

1404
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:48,822
Now arriving, 6:20 to New York.

1405
00:59:48,888 --> 00:59:51,910
Well, I appreciate the pep
talk, but that's my train.

1406
00:59:51,124 --> 00:59:51,758
You can't go.

1407
00:59:51,791 --> 00:59:52,625
Hey, you know what?

1408
00:59:52,659 --> 00:59:53,660
Lucy, let her go.

1409
00:59:53,727 --> 00:59:54,794
She can't hack it anyway.

1410
00:59:54,828 --> 00:59:56,463
What?

1411
00:59:56,496 --> 00:59:58,765
Have you heard back
from Hepburn yet?

1412
00:59:58,798 --> 01:00:01,601
Uh, well, actually, we're
going to go with Veronica Lake.

1413
01:00:01,634 --> 01:00:03,169
I think Claude's a big fan.

1414
01:00:03,236 --> 01:00:04,304
Oh, I bet he is.

1415
01:00:04,337 --> 01:00:05,939
Ah, Ava, I'm so sorry.

1416
01:00:05,972 --> 01:00:07,774
This is business movie talk.
It doesn't it concern you.

1417
01:00:07,807 --> 01:00:09,442
Sayanora, arrivederci, all that.

1418
01:00:09,476 --> 01:00:10,510
Send us a postcard
when you get there.

1419
01:00:10,577 --> 01:00:12,312
Mm.

1420
01:00:12,345 --> 01:00:14,140
He says he's going to give her
a [clears throat] top billing.

1421
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:15,315
Oh, is that so?

1422
01:00:15,348 --> 01:00:16,449
And the bigger dressing room.

1423
01:00:16,483 --> 01:00:17,617
You don't say.

1424
01:00:17,650 --> 01:00:19,452
You know, Claude is a swell guy.

1425
01:00:19,486 --> 01:00:21,187
Swell, my foot.

1426
01:00:21,254 --> 01:00:23,456
Claude Lancaster wouldn't
know good intentions if it

1427
01:00:23,490 --> 01:00:25,125
knocked him upside the head.

1428
01:00:25,158 --> 01:00:27,794
And if he thinks for one
second he's going to replace me

1429
01:00:27,827 --> 01:00:29,462
with one of those
silly actresses

1430
01:00:29,496 --> 01:00:34,000
from his Christmas list, well,
he's got another thing coming.

1431
01:00:34,340 --> 01:00:38,138
And for the record, I saw
right through this little song

1432
01:00:38,171 --> 01:00:39,706
and dance.

1433
01:00:39,773 --> 01:00:41,341
But does that mean you're
coming back with us anyway?

1434
01:00:46,212 --> 01:00:48,782
I just remembered.

1435
01:00:48,815 --> 01:00:51,618
I'm allergic to goats.

1436
01:00:51,651 --> 01:00:54,120
Oh, boys?

1437
01:00:54,154 --> 01:00:58,525
[laughs] Well, we
just squeaked by.

1438
01:00:58,558 --> 01:01:02,228
[laughs] Hey.

1439
01:01:02,295 --> 01:01:04,164
[train blares]

1440
01:01:09,469 --> 01:01:10,370
Thanks, fellas.

1441
01:01:10,403 --> 01:01:13,206
[light jazzy music]

1442
01:01:21,514 --> 01:01:25,180
Well, now you are an odd duck,
but I think I got your number.

1443
01:01:25,510 --> 01:01:26,653
Oh?

1444
01:01:26,686 --> 01:01:28,254
You say that you're
a solo act, but you

1445
01:01:28,321 --> 01:01:30,857
seem to care an awful lot about
the happiness of other people.

1446
01:01:30,890 --> 01:01:32,692
Well, guess you've got
me all figured out.

1447
01:01:32,726 --> 01:01:34,270
Almost all figured out.

1448
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:35,261
There is one thing
I'd like to know.

1449
01:01:35,328 --> 01:01:36,863
What's that?

1450
01:01:36,896 --> 01:01:38,698
Would you like to be my
date to the Christmas party?

1451
01:01:38,732 --> 01:01:39,999
Oh, brother.

1452
01:01:40,330 --> 01:01:41,267
Is it too late to
pick the chickens?

1453
01:01:41,334 --> 01:01:43,269
(BOTH) Yes.

1454
01:01:43,336 --> 01:01:46,206
[upbeat jazzy music]

1455
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,110
[chatter]

1456
01:02:10,864 --> 01:02:13,330
You look beautiful.

1457
01:02:13,660 --> 01:02:13,733
Thank you.

1458
01:02:13,767 --> 01:02:15,368
Ava lent her dress.

1459
01:02:15,402 --> 01:02:18,304
You're welcome.

1460
01:02:18,371 --> 01:02:21,241
[light jazzy music]

1461
01:02:30,617 --> 01:02:31,751
Thank you.

1462
01:02:31,785 --> 01:02:32,485
You're welcome.

1463
01:02:32,552 --> 01:02:33,420
Cheers.

1464
01:02:41,327 --> 01:02:44,464
Now, the family
started this tradition

1465
01:02:44,497 --> 01:02:49,602
of handing out presents on
Christmas Eve back in 1895.

1466
01:02:49,636 --> 01:02:50,737
Can you believe that?

1467
01:02:50,770 --> 01:02:54,441
It's been nearly 52 years.

1468
01:02:54,474 --> 01:02:55,608
Is that--

1469
01:02:55,642 --> 01:02:59,179
Mm-hmm, that's Bill's wife.

1470
01:02:59,245 --> 01:03:00,280
[sighs]

1471
01:03:00,313 --> 01:03:03,583
[light cheerful music]

1472
01:03:09,155 --> 01:03:10,123
Merry Christmas.

1473
01:03:10,156 --> 01:03:11,324
Merry Christmas.

1474
01:03:11,358 --> 01:03:12,125
Thank you.

1475
01:03:12,158 --> 01:03:13,159
You're welcome.

1476
01:03:13,193 --> 01:03:13,960
Hi.

1477
01:03:13,993 --> 01:03:15,362
Hi.

1478
01:03:15,428 --> 01:03:19,532
Well, I see you managed to
corral our wayward star.

1479
01:03:19,599 --> 01:03:21,968
Yes, with a little help.

1480
01:03:22,100 --> 01:03:23,169
I wanted to thank you.

1481
01:03:23,203 --> 01:03:24,838
Oh.

1482
01:03:24,871 --> 01:03:27,340
I took your advice and called
my wife and apologized,

1483
01:03:27,374 --> 01:03:28,641
told her I missed her.

1484
01:03:28,675 --> 01:03:29,843
What did she say?

1485
01:03:29,876 --> 01:03:31,978
She asked me what
took me so long.

1486
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,115
[laughs] You know, I guess my
happy ending was always there.

1487
01:03:35,148 --> 01:03:37,317
I just needed to open
my eyes and see it.

1488
01:03:37,350 --> 01:03:40,820
And maybe these characters
deserve a happy ending, too.

1489
01:03:40,854 --> 01:03:42,722
He ain't lying, sheriff.

1490
01:03:42,789 --> 01:03:45,825
The horse belongs
to Billy the Kid.

1491
01:03:45,859 --> 01:03:50,630
[imitates gunfire]
Oh, you got me.

1492
01:03:50,130 --> 01:03:53,666
Well, if I don't see you before
tomorrow, Merry Christmas.

1493
01:03:53,700 --> 01:03:54,968
Merry Christmas.

1494
01:03:55,100 --> 01:03:58,380
[soft, light music]

1495
01:04:06,413 --> 01:04:09,249
[slow festive music]

1496
01:04:18,692 --> 01:04:20,193
Oh.

1497
01:04:20,226 --> 01:04:20,860
Hello.

1498
01:04:20,894 --> 01:04:23,290
I know your secret.

1499
01:04:23,630 --> 01:04:24,230
Oh?

1500
01:04:24,264 --> 01:04:28,168
Mm, you talked Ava
back into the picture.

1501
01:04:28,201 --> 01:04:30,704
Yes, well, you have
nothing to worry about.

1502
01:04:30,737 --> 01:04:31,938
She's going to be great.

1503
01:04:32,500 --> 01:04:34,374
Oh, we had a plan.

1504
01:04:34,407 --> 01:04:35,375
You had a plan.

1505
01:04:35,408 --> 01:04:37,430
There was no we.

1506
01:04:37,770 --> 01:04:41,381
Ah, see, now that's where
you're wrong, Ms. Hardgrove.

1507
01:04:41,414 --> 01:04:42,215
May I cut in?

1508
01:04:42,248 --> 01:04:42,849
No.

1509
01:04:42,882 --> 01:04:43,717
Yes.

1510
01:04:43,750 --> 01:04:44,551
Hi.

1511
01:04:44,584 --> 01:04:46,186
Hi.

1512
01:04:46,219 --> 01:04:47,754
I should have known
that your dance

1513
01:04:47,787 --> 01:04:49,189
card would have
filled up the minute

1514
01:04:49,222 --> 01:04:50,557
you stepped on the dance floor.

1515
01:04:50,590 --> 01:04:53,260
This is where I admit
I have two left feet.

1516
01:04:53,590 --> 01:04:56,930
Ah, well, then just
follow my lead.

1517
01:05:00,767 --> 01:05:03,703
[soft music]

1518
01:05:25,258 --> 01:05:30,230
You know, the thought
has just occurred to me

1519
01:05:30,263 --> 01:05:33,366
that it is Christmas
Eve, and I didn't

1520
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,102
get you a Christmas gift.

1521
01:05:36,136 --> 01:05:37,237
I don't need a gift.

1522
01:05:37,270 --> 01:05:39,239
Yeah, but I want
you to have one,

1523
01:05:39,272 --> 01:05:42,242
and I think I know
just the thing.

1524
01:05:42,275 --> 01:05:44,577
[laughs] I can't
take your watch.

1525
01:05:44,611 --> 01:05:48,948
Yes, you can because I think
that you use it more than I do.

1526
01:05:48,982 --> 01:05:52,520
And next time
you're running late,

1527
01:05:52,850 --> 01:05:55,822
well, you can think of me.

1528
01:05:55,889 --> 01:05:56,623
I will.

1529
01:05:56,656 --> 01:05:59,325
Thank you.

1530
01:05:59,392 --> 01:06:01,895
What are you doing
New Year's Eve?

1531
01:06:01,928 --> 01:06:05,265
If you don't have to get back
to Los Angeles right away,

1532
01:06:05,298 --> 01:06:08,802
there's a little shindig
down in the village.

1533
01:06:08,835 --> 01:06:09,836
Um.

1534
01:06:09,903 --> 01:06:10,637
What?

1535
01:06:13,807 --> 01:06:16,443
Too much too soon?

1536
01:06:16,476 --> 01:06:26,353
I just-- I feel like I have
always meant to know you.

1537
01:06:26,419 --> 01:06:27,854
And now that I've
met you, I can't

1538
01:06:27,921 --> 01:06:29,422
see a future without you in it.

1539
01:06:32,250 --> 01:06:32,826
Oh, gosh.

1540
01:06:35,495 --> 01:06:38,531
I'm sorry.

1541
01:06:38,598 --> 01:06:39,199
What am I doing?

1542
01:06:39,265 --> 01:06:40,133
This isn't real.

1543
01:06:40,166 --> 01:06:41,634
None of this is real.

1544
01:06:41,668 --> 01:06:42,435
Lucy.

1545
01:06:42,469 --> 01:06:44,137
No.

1546
01:06:44,170 --> 01:06:45,305
I'm so sorry.

1547
01:06:49,175 --> 01:06:50,844
I wasn't expecting you.

1548
01:06:54,180 --> 01:06:57,317
[somber music]

1549
01:07:06,590 --> 01:07:07,961
Oh, Ms. Hardgrove, I've
been looking for you.

1550
01:07:07,994 --> 01:07:09,129
Oh.

1551
01:07:09,162 --> 01:07:10,397
Is everything all right?
Yes.

1552
01:07:10,463 --> 01:07:11,731
Thank you.

1553
01:07:11,798 --> 01:07:13,400
Well, we were able
to fix the hourglass.

1554
01:07:13,466 --> 01:07:15,350
What?
The hourglass.

1555
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:16,200
I took care of it.

1556
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:17,170
Good as new
Thank you.

1557
01:07:17,203 --> 01:07:18,872
Where is it?

1558
01:07:18,905 --> 01:07:21,141
It's in the prop master's
truck, parked right out front.

1559
01:07:21,174 --> 01:07:22,909
All right.

1560
01:07:22,976 --> 01:07:23,710
Merry Christmas.

1561
01:07:23,743 --> 01:07:24,811
Merry Christmas.

1562

[gentle music]

1563
01:07:33,987 --> 01:07:37,757
Here, sweetheart.

1564
01:07:37,824 --> 01:07:38,591
Peppermint.

1565
01:07:38,658 --> 01:07:39,993
Michael.

1566
01:07:40,260 --> 01:07:42,896
Michael, I told you to
stay where I could see you.

1567
01:07:42,929 --> 01:07:44,531
Your grandfather
will be back as soon

1568
01:07:44,564 --> 01:07:46,660
as he's talked to Mr. West.

1569
01:07:46,990 --> 01:07:49,436
Michael Balaban?

1570
01:07:49,502 --> 01:07:50,570
[exhales]

1571
01:07:51,805 --> 01:07:53,173
Well, that means
your grandfather is--

1572
01:07:53,206 --> 01:07:54,400
Harold.

1573
01:07:54,740 --> 01:07:54,941
He just got in.

1574
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:55,842
Come along now.

1575
01:07:58,878 --> 01:08:02,182
[dramatic music]

1576
01:08:05,785 --> 01:08:07,520
Where's West?

1577
01:08:07,554 --> 01:08:08,722
I'm not sure, sir.

1578
01:08:08,755 --> 01:08:10,757
I think his wife just arrived.

1579
01:08:10,790 --> 01:08:13,593
Do you know how much money
I've sunk into this picture?

1580
01:08:13,626 --> 01:08:15,762
Too much for him to
take a second honeymoon.

1581
01:08:15,795 --> 01:08:17,300
Absolutely.

1582
01:08:17,630 --> 01:08:19,132
I just wanted to talk to
you about Ms. Hardgrove.

1583
01:08:19,199 --> 01:08:20,660
Who?

1584
01:08:20,100 --> 01:08:21,568
Ms. Hardgrove?

1585
01:08:21,601 --> 01:08:23,870
The studio liaison you sent.

1586
01:08:23,903 --> 01:08:26,773
Son, if I sent
someone in my place,

1587
01:08:26,806 --> 01:08:28,742
why would I be standing here?

1588
01:08:28,775 --> 01:08:31,811
But she's been on set for days.

1589
01:08:31,878 --> 01:08:34,447
Probably works for
one of those tabloids.

1590
01:08:34,481 --> 01:08:36,449
You, come here.

1591
01:08:36,483 --> 01:08:39,552
I want you to find this
Hardgrove lady, now.

1594
01:08:46,426 --> 01:08:48,461
Oh, I just can't thank
you enough for taking

1595
01:08:48,495 --> 01:08:49,796
me through the house again.

1596
01:08:49,829 --> 01:08:50,663
Twice.

1597
01:08:50,730 --> 01:08:52,799
It's just so much to see.

1598
01:08:52,832 --> 01:08:55,335
And we only have a few
dozen more items to get to.

1599
01:08:55,402 --> 01:08:57,700
We're going to have to
get to that tomorrow

1600
01:08:57,103 --> 01:08:58,138
because I have got--

1601
01:08:58,171 --> 01:08:59,305
But I won't be here tomorrow.

1602
01:08:59,339 --> 01:09:00,140
I'll get Paige.

1603
01:09:00,173 --> 01:09:00,974
I'll get--

1604
01:09:01,700 --> 01:09:01,975
[shouts]

1605
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,177
What happened?

1606
01:09:04,244 --> 01:09:05,245
It's my trick knee.

1607
01:09:05,278 --> 01:09:06,913
It always acts up in the cold.

[heavy music]

1611
01:09:17,900 --> 01:09:18,191
Lucy.

1612
01:09:18,258 --> 01:09:19,325
Can we talk?

1613
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:20,293
I have to go.

1614
01:09:20,326 --> 01:09:21,940
Go where?

1615
01:09:21,127 --> 01:09:22,195
Why?

1616
01:09:22,262 --> 01:09:23,163
I can't explain it right now.

1617
01:09:23,196 --> 01:09:24,431
Lucy.

1618
01:09:24,464 --> 01:09:25,999
Jack, I'm not who
you think I am.

1619
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:27,500
What does that mean?

1620
01:09:27,534 --> 01:09:28,835
Who are you?

1621
01:09:28,868 --> 01:09:31,371
There she is.

1622
01:09:31,438 --> 01:09:32,272
Oh, no.

1623
01:09:32,305 --> 01:09:35,141
[tense music]

1624
01:09:38,111 --> 01:09:39,450
Ms. Majors, stop.

1625
01:09:44,384 --> 01:09:45,218
Lucy.

1626
01:09:48,540 --> 01:09:49,856
Why are you running?

[tense music]

1628
01:09:54,527 --> 01:09:56,196
What is going on?

1629
01:09:56,229 --> 01:09:57,530
You can trust me.

1630
01:09:57,564 --> 01:09:59,232
Talk to me.

1631
01:09:59,299 --> 01:10:01,634
OK.

1632
01:10:01,668 --> 01:10:03,470
I'm not from the studio.

1633
01:10:03,503 --> 01:10:05,739
Where are you from?

1634
01:10:05,805 --> 01:10:06,973
I'm from the future.

1635
01:10:07,700 --> 01:10:07,807
Huh?

1636
01:10:10,910 --> 01:10:12,145
What's the gag?

1637
01:10:12,178 --> 01:10:13,847
I'm from 80 years
in the future, Jack.

1638
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,682
I turned an hourglass,
the one that I broke,

1639
01:10:15,715 --> 01:10:20,200
and it brought me here,
and now I'm stuck.

1640
01:10:20,530 --> 01:10:21,870
You're serious.

1641
01:10:21,154 --> 01:10:22,555
If they find me,
they'll take me away,

1642
01:10:22,589 --> 01:10:23,990
and I'll never be
able to get home.

[knocking]

1644
01:10:25,492 --> 01:10:28,261
Let me in, Jack.

1645
01:10:28,328 --> 01:10:29,429
Give me a key for this door.

1646

[knocking]

1647
01:10:32,365 --> 01:10:33,433
I know it sounds crazy.

1648
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:34,334
I do.

1649
01:10:36,536 --> 01:10:38,405
Let me in!

01:10:40,206 --> 01:10:42,676
You got five seconds to
open this door, Huston,

1652
01:10:42,709 --> 01:10:44,244
or you could kiss
your career goodbye.

1653
01:10:44,277 --> 01:10:46,279
[tense music]

1654
01:10:46,346 --> 01:10:47,714
I just need to get
to the hourglass

1655
01:10:47,747 --> 01:10:48,882

1657
01:10:56,122 --> 01:10:59,259
There's a back door,
up those stairs.

1658
01:10:59,292 --> 01:11:00,226
Go.

1659
01:11:00,260 --> 01:11:01,227
I'll buy you some time.

1660
01:11:01,261 --> 01:11:04,230
Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm glad that you
came into my life,

1666

even if it was only
for a little while.

1667
01:11:24,384 --> 01:11:27,687
Oh, Jack, there's something you
need to know about your life.

Hiya, fellas.

Where's the girl?

Don't be smart with me, Huston.

1674
01:11:41,735 --> 01:11:43,703
I saw her come in the room.

1675
01:11:43,737 --> 01:11:46,306
Now where did she go?

1676
01:11:46,339 --> 01:11:48,141
She went home, Balaban.

1677
01:11:48,174 --> 01:11:48,975
Home.

Where do you think you're going?

1680

Oh, hi, I was looking for you.

1681
01:12:00,987 --> 01:12:02,880
Save it.

1682
01:12:02,155 --> 01:12:04,557
I know you're not
from the studio.

Fine, you got me.

like a word first.

I'll be taking top
billing and the bigger

I'm sorry.

Your friend was very
determined that you

1712

have one last chance
to see the hourglass

1713
01:13:49,950 --> 01:13:50,130
before we took it away.

1714
01:13:54,367 --> 01:13:56,436
Thank you.

1715
01:13:56,469 --> 01:13:57,203

It's a long story.

No.

I tried to warn him.

I guess some things are
just always meant to be.

01:20:45,612 --> 01:20:46,780
How are you here?

1807
01:20:49,916 --> 01:20:52,786
Well, you're a hard one
to forget, Lucy Hardgrove.

1808
01:20:55,355 --> 01:21:01,394
Now, I tried a thousand times
to get that hourglass to bring

1809
01:21:01,428 --> 01:21:06,633
me to you, and it never worked.

1810
01:21:06,700 --> 01:21:11,204
And then I remembered
something that you told me--

1811
01:21:11,237 --> 01:21:15,975
December 24, 1948.

1812
01:21:16,420 --> 01:21:20,380
I guess I just needed a
little Christmas magic.

1813
01:21:20,413 --> 01:21:22,882
The newspaper said
that you died.

1814
01:21:22,916 --> 01:21:26,586
It's a cover story
that we planted just

1815
01:21:26,619 --> 01:21:30,900
in case of an unexplained
disappearance.

1816
01:21:31,424 --> 01:21:33,326
Does that mean you--

1817
01:21:33,393 --> 01:21:35,228
you stay?

1818
01:21:35,261 --> 01:21:39,599
Well, that depends on you.

1819
01:21:43,403 --> 01:21:45,505
You would really
give up everything

1820
01:21:45,572 --> 01:21:49,275
you've ever known for me.

1821
01:21:55,150 --> 01:21:57,117
Why?

1822
01:21:57,150 --> 01:22:00,320
Because I love you.

1823
01:22:00,353 --> 01:22:03,857
[light music]

1824
01:22:24,210 --> 01:22:27,147
[whistling]

1825
01:22:32,152 --> 01:22:34,621
Huh.

1826
01:22:34,654 --> 01:22:37,557
So this is the future, huh?

1827
01:22:37,624 --> 01:22:38,725
Yeah.

1828
01:22:38,792 --> 01:22:39,626
Stick with me, kid.

1829
01:22:39,659 --> 01:22:40,827
I'll show you around.

1830
01:22:40,860 --> 01:22:43,129
Well, I'm planning on it.

1831
01:22:43,163 --> 01:22:43,897
Merry Christmas, Jack.

1832
01:22:43,963 --> 01:22:46,132
Oh, merry Christmas, Lucy.

1833
01:22:46,166 --> 01:22:48,168
[light cheerful music]

1834
01:23:11,910 --> 01:23:13,126
[upbeat jazzy music]

1835
01:23:36,216 --> 01:23:39,219
